Starting point is 00:00:00 Now my voice was doing fine until about until I started talking to you. Let me tell you about to ease for everyone. What is the point of having health insurance until you have to spend a small fortune before it actually helps you? Some people are paying $10,000, $15,000 a year out of pocket before their plan kicks in. And that's, if that's not broken, I don't know what it is. Here's the good news. There is a way out. It's called ease for everyone.
Starting point is 00:00:24 And it's exactly what health care should be, clear, fair, and open to any adult in America, no matter what zip code, income, or job you have. You can have it for as little as $262 a month. You can get unlimited virtual primary care, unlimited urgent care visits for $30, plus cashback reimbursements for big expenses, hospital stays, ER visits, surgeries, et cetera, et cetera. You don't have to settle for all the high costs and the low results. Join this fight for freedom. Once and for all say no to Obamacare and yes, to ease for everyone.

The ministry of preborn believes that

Starting point is 00:03:43 I tell you the allergies, the trees and everything has just, they exploded in my throat yesterday. And so I'm not sure how long my voice. will last, and I have to save it because I'm meeting with the president a little later on this afternoon. I'm going to spend a couple of hours with him, and that show will broadcast tonight at 9 p.m. on Blaze, so just stick with me. All right, let me, let's start here with POTUS, or I mean with SCOTUS. A battle for the kid, the soul of our children began yesterday in the Supreme Court. The case involves a group of parents suing the largest school district in
Starting point is 00:04:23 Maryland for their right to withdraw their children from classes on days that books with gay and transgender characters themes are discussed. The parents are suing on religious freedom grounds. In 2022, Montgomery County Public Schools added LGBTQ-themed books to their curriculum for students from pre-K through the fifth grade. The books include things like pride puppy, an alphabet book, about a family whose puppy gets lost at a pride parade. Love and Violet about a girl who has a crush on her female classmate. These are pre-K to fifth grade. And Born Ready, about a transgender boy.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Again, these books added to pre-K to fifth grade, this new curriculum is DEI for elementary children. Now, at first, the Maryland School District allowed or alerted parents when the storybooks were going to be used in class and allowed them to have their children excused from the sessions. But the district has sent stop giving both advance notice and an opt-out policy saying it's too hard to administer. I mean, geez, it's really, really. And it leads to lots of absences and stigmatizes some kids. I want you to know, this case is not about a few storybooks, a few colorful, you know, pictures of little puppies getting lost.
Starting point is 00:05:47 It's about whether you, as a parent, still have a God-given right to raise your children, according to your faith and your values and your common sense. Do you have the right? Because if the Supreme Court says, no, you don't have that right anymore. If the First Amendment free exercise clause doesn't protect this, your right as a parent, then what are all our rights even for? If we don't have a right as a parent to parent our children, none of the rights really even matter.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Now, the parents who are suing insist that these books, quote, promote one-sided transgender ideology, encouraged gender transitioning, and focus excessively on romantic infatuation. By the way, the parents are not seeking to remove the books from classrooms or the children's libraries. They just don't want their children to have to sit through these indoctrination sessions. Oh, that's not good enough.
Starting point is 00:06:50 You will comply. That's what it's all about. They're not trying to erase anyone's story. They just want to not comply. They want to shield their children from ideas that contradict their faith. What is the First Amendment really all about? Sounds reasonable. Sounds like basically.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Basic Parenting 101. First Amendment is clear. You cannot burden someone's free exercise of religion, forcing kids to engage with ideas that violate their families' deeply held beliefs that is clearly, clearly a burden. Religious liberty is in the First Amendment. It is not a second-class right. It is a first-class right. Besides, this is basic common sense, or at least used to be. Parents have the right to guide their kids on any sensitive topic like sex, sexuality, or yes, even gender. It's not the school's job. It's your job, period. Now, this should be a slam dunk for the parents, but I don't even know. I mean, if the Supreme Court doesn't see that, parents won't just be losing this case.
Starting point is 00:08:07 We'll be losing even more freedom to raise our own kids. this one is a very, very deep red crimson line in the sand that the Supreme Court cannot cross. But we'll see. Apparently yesterday, did you hear any of the arguments, Stu? Yeah, I read about them. It definitely seemed like the conservative justices were a bit skeptical of the idea that you get to force parents to keep their kids in these classes. even if they oppose it when you're reading these books. But, you know, of course, you never know. We've seen crazy things happen in the Supreme Court before. What's fascinating to me is, and what's the motivation here, Glenn, you tell me,
Starting point is 00:08:56 if you're going to have one of these situations where you have these books, and as you point out, they are not like, okay, there happens to be a gay character in a book about something else. Like, it is, like, straight out, like, books about why you should. think these lifestyles and choices are okay, right? Like, it is straight out what they're doing to pre-K to fifth year, fifth graders. So really, really young. This is not like, you know, some of these situations they like to push out there like,
Starting point is 00:09:25 oh, you don't want high schoolers to read these books. It's not even what they're talking about. And what could be the motivation of not allowing parents to opt their kids out here? They did offer that, as you noted. They did offer that the first year. that these books. It's a hassle. I love that. There's no innocuous, there's no innocuous, uh, explanation for this. Right? It's just we want your kids to believe these things. Therefore, we will force them to stay in class. What do you mean? It's hard to administer. There's all sorts of
Starting point is 00:10:01 things that would allow, uh, that you'd allow kids to leave class for. It's not hard to administer a kid walking out and doing something else. Learning something different. what's the motivation what's the innocuous tale here there is none there is none you go back to the Bible remember Sodom and Gomorrah and uh you know the angels coming to town they're looking just for one person just what can we find one person
Starting point is 00:10:28 and uh they go in and they find one they find one and he sees the angels and he's like come on come on get into the house get in the house and he gets them into the house and you know like you're you're not safe out there and then they start beating on the door hey let us in we saw these two guys we saw these two guys uh and uh you need to you need to bring them out here the answer was no no no i tell you i'll give you my daughter just not these guys
Starting point is 00:11:02 now like well you found that a little you know that's when the angels should have went and like you know i don't know if we found the right guy here but it was a different time we'll give you our daughter first give you our daughter just leave them alone. No. No. You had to comply. If you were coming in to the city, you must comply.
Starting point is 00:11:25 They wanted to sodomize the angels. No, thank you. No, I'm, you know, I'm all, ah, sodomy. I'm all life. The doctor says I'm getting too much sodomy. So, but that is what's happening again. This, this, even if you don't believe in angels or you don't believe in the story of the Bible. This is a very good parable. I haven't to believe it, but it's a very good parable
Starting point is 00:11:49 on what was going on. Let's just look at the Bible and just saying, what was a general thing? You could describe it any way you want, but what was generally going on? The city had been taken over by just absolute degenerates. And sodomy had become such a big deal. You know, they actually taught my daughter in a Catholic school. It forced. University. They taught my daughter that Sodomy. Sodomy dad was just their way of greeting people.
Starting point is 00:12:20 You had a Catholic school teach you that? That sodomy wasn't bad? It was just the way they greeted people. Hey, drop your pants. I want to greet you. That's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. But that's just the way it was. Well, you know what? I don't want to live in a city
Starting point is 00:12:38 where they drop their pants to greet you. I just don't, I think that's probably wrong. speak for yourself you know even if that was even lots of people you have to understand you can't opt out of it you need to to make sure that you're you're participating in the traditional greetings of that society this this is this is a this is a philosophy that has no forgiveness and you're either on board or you're not you're either 100% in or you're an outcast and you will comply. This is what the left just doesn't understand.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I shouldn't say the left understands this. The average Democrat doesn't understand. They think, because the average Democrat, I think, is still kind of thinking, well, you know, I mean, I don't like all of that, but I want to be tolerant. There is no tolerance with this. There's none, and this should show you. There is no reason to force these parents or force these kids. to go against their parents' teaching other than you will participate.
Starting point is 00:13:46 You will comply. That's all it is. Yeah, I love to. One of their outs on this from the left is basically to say, look, if you don't want your kids to learn this stuff, then you should homeschool or put your kids in Christian schools. Now, of course, it's actually Christians, Jews, and Muslims. One of the lead defendants here is a Muslim actually doesn't,
Starting point is 00:14:09 is trying to pull their kids out of this. And they have. Which is a fascinating argument from the left, considering how hard they fought against school choice all this time. I mean, they have tried to prevent it. They've tried to prevent the rights for you to educate your own kids. And they're trying to force you to pay for that education not once but twice. That's their answer.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Like if you don't want to learn what we're teaching you, then you get to pay twice as much for an education you're going to get to outside of these walls. I will tell you that I talk to some people over the last couple of days up here, some of them with the Department of Education, and they are thrilled to dismantle that thing. They are very, very excited to dismantle the Department of Education. They're on the inside, and they're like, it's freaking them out,
Starting point is 00:15:02 and we're shutting this thing down. And it couldn't be more exhilarating, quite honestly. I mean, tell me what the Department of Education has done. Look at how they are taking on private schools and they're saying you don't have a right to private education or you have a right, but we're not going to, we're not going to give you any vouchers. We're not going to spend any. And look at what we're spending money on, a system that is getting worse and worse and worse. And we're trapping our children into slavery. If your kids can't read, I mean, go back to the 1800s.
Starting point is 00:15:38 do you know that it was, I believe it was the death penalty to teach someone a slave how to read? Did you know that? It was a crime of the highest order to teach a slave to read. Why? Because if they can read, they can think. If they can think they're no longer going to be a slave. That's why. So this progressive, these people have hated, have hated the,
Starting point is 00:16:08 African American forever. It's the same people that started the clan. It's the progressive movement that tried to wipe out every black with Planned Parenthood and they're still doing it and getting away with it. Is there a reason why all of the abortion clinics happen to fall in the black zip codes? Is there a reason that that's where most of them are? Gee, I don't know. They're still doing it. They were the ones that were all. over in Germany telling you how to get rid of the Jews. Yes, that was an American thing, not a German thing. That was us. My gosh, these people have hated and hated and hated. And then the guy Johnson, who stopped the civil rights movement. He stopped the Civil Rights Act
Starting point is 00:16:58 in 1959. He was the guy who stopped it. Then just four or five years later, he signs it in. and he's proud to do it. And then he signs the, the great, what do you call it? The great society bills. So we have a great society that's going to help the black man. And what does it do?
Starting point is 00:17:20 It tears their families apart. It drives them further into poverty. It, it miseducates their children. So they're just ninkum poops. And then, by the way, white people are ninkum poops as well because we get the same damn education. Who is this hurt? hurt. This has hurt the black man more than the white man. And these people, they still get away
Starting point is 00:17:43 with it. Now, ask yourself a question. If you're paying taxes and this is your country, why the hell can't you say, I'm not educating my kid there and I'm not paying you for that education because I think that education is evil. I think that education is so evil because look what it's doing to our kids. It's teaching them that they should be slaves. It's not teaching them how to think. It's teaching them what you want them to think.
Starting point is 00:18:15 No, not going to do it anymore. All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor, this half hour is something that I don't even, oh, there it is, relief factor. It always starts with something small. Little stiffness when you reach for your shoes or that

Starting point is 00:19:59 I'd love to ask a few questions that are directed by you. I've been working on these questions for the president here for the last week, but I'd love to hear from you 888727BECK. What is it that you are most interested in hearing asked of the president? Um, it's, it's so interesting asking the president questions because I remember, I was in the Oval office with, uh, George W. Bush and he was, he was not happy. And, uh, I had questioned, you know, what is happening to the, what's, what's happening in the war, Mr. President. And I had just got on the air and I don't remember what I said to piss him off, but he said something. And I said,
Starting point is 00:20:42 that's not the way the president behaves. And, uh, so he calls me in the office and I'm sitting there and he says, you know, a lot of people. think they know exactly how it is like to be the president they have no idea what it's like to be the president of the united states you don't know what i'm dealing with and and in some ways it was true i mean it's no excuse you have to be better at it than anybody else but the president can't answer certain things like i i really i really want to know can this be saved can this be saved because we are looking at such economic we're we're looking at looking at into the abyss, into the abyss.
Starting point is 00:21:23 And I don't think the American people really understand that. And it's going to take all of us understanding it and then choosing, okay, I'm going to, I'll take the hard road. I'll take the hard medicine now. Used to be able, in the old days, you know, FDR could get on and say, look, this is going to be hard. This is going to be a shlog. But I'll take it on for my.
Starting point is 00:21:48 generation so our children don't have to deal with it. I'm not sure that people are, I think they're willing to do it, but there will always be somebody on the outside that says, that's not necessary. You don't have to have, you don't have to do that. You can do it all. You can have it all. No, no, no, no, no. You don't understand. We'll put your social security over here in a lockbox. And people will want to believe the easy road. So I've been wrestling with questions on, on, you know, how to, how to make it. easy for the president to tell the real truth on the economy, which I think he does, but I don't think enough people hear it, that as he says, it's going to be a bumpy ride. Yeah, it's going to be a
Starting point is 00:22:31 lot more than a bumpy ride. It's going to be a tough, tough schlogue, but we have to do it. This interview, by the way, will air tonight 9 p.m. Eastern only on Blaze TV.

But tonight is a, he's going to be an epic interview with the president at the White House. So don't, don't miss it. I go in to do that interview later this afternoon. It'll air at 9 p.m. Eastern time.
Starting point is 00:25:14 It'll be unedited. and you'll be able to see him. Yeah, yeah. It's not like you're dealing with Joe Biden anymore. No. Yeah. It's just going to let it ride. Let's see what he says.
Starting point is 00:25:28 You know, I have a lot of things to talk to him about. Like one thing that I would like to see, you know, that I don't, I don't see anybody talking about. You know, the president is changing the economy. He is changing. He's getting away from this World War II. nightmare that, you know, might have been right for, you know, 1948, but it's certainly not right for today, where we were taking care of Europe. We were giving them all kinds of special breaks. We were paying for their defense, yada, yada, yada, yada. Instead, now America needs to take care
Starting point is 00:26:04 of herself, and we all need to be self-sufficient. Well, you know, we're talking about AI a lot, but what people are not talking about or something that Eric Schmidt came to the White House, sorry, to the Capitol Hill and testified a couple of days ago about the power usage. We have a significant problem with power. Now, I want you to understand, everyone will tell you we cannot lose the race for AI. Have you heard anyone say anything other than that, Stu? No. Anyone who talks about it says we can't just let China or someone else win. it. It's 100% universal. We must, must, uh, win. Okay. So where are we going to get all the power? Here's what Eric said. Many people project demand for our industry will go from three percent,
Starting point is 00:26:58 three percent of total energy production right now. We're at three percent for all of our server farms and everything else for Silicon Valley uses three percent. he says it's going to go from 3% to 99% of all energy usage in the next three years. An additional 29 gigawatts by 2027 and 67 more gigawatts by 2030. He is now saying that we have to build hundreds of nuclear power plants. He said there are some plants that they will recover. require most plants will require one nuclear power plant per server farm some of them may require up to three nuclear power plants per server farm so this is really good in one way because
Starting point is 00:27:59 we will have the electricity that we need assuming we start to build these things quickly i mean what's going to happen stew it takes 25 years to build a nuclear power plant how is it we We're expected it all to compete. We have dismantled our, we've dismantled our coal fire plants all over the country. We are still not digging up coal and, and fuel as much as we need to. We need to be open and open valves on absolutely everything. That's something that Eric Schmidt said yesterday, too. Now, remember, this is a Silicon Valley guy.
Starting point is 00:28:36 I'm sure he was green, green, green for a long time. But now he's saying, we need absolutely every source. of energy because we are going to need 99% by 2027. 2027. What do you think your power price is going to be? What do you think about rolling blackouts and brownouts? We have got to be, and this would create so many jobs, so many jobs, good paying jobs, going out and building all these nuclear power.
Starting point is 00:29:12 plans. Is this an opportunity? But will we do it for Trump and the Trump administration? I mean, because it feels also like talking about positives going on offense rather than being on defense. There's been a lot of defense talk lately. And going on offense and saying, hey, we can be the best place for your company to exist because we're going to be the only place on earth that has the power it needs. Yep, yep. The only other country that is doing it is China and they're building them like crazy. This is something that we have, Donald Trump could surpass FDR in power generation. Remember, most people in 1919 in Woodrow Wilson, I think 1% of the population had a refrigerator by 1930. I think that number was like 80% had refrigeration. When FDR, K.R. K.
Starting point is 00:30:10 in the only places that didn't have stuff was there was no electricity in these small little rural towns so he went and he started building power plants and dams and everything else to generate all the power and then started laying power lines this is something that donald trump could do and it is time i mean our grid hasn't really been updated since fDR we're still using the same stuff and you know a lot of it is just out so outdated and so bad our grid is so incredibly unstable and not built for what's coming next. And I just don't know how he's going to get it done, but this is a big win for him, big win for him.
Starting point is 00:30:57 You know how many jobs would be created if we introduced and said we have to build them in the next three years? It would be enormous, enormous and exciting. Yeah. Yeah, exciting. I mean, you know, look, having power is the basis of civilization. This is not a small little thing. And it really is one of the foundational elements you need for a modern civilization. And we sit here and we talk about all the things we can't do, all the natural resources that we have, we can't utilize, all the things that we need to stop, right? We need to stop making gas powered cars. We need to stop getting our own coal and using it.
Starting point is 00:31:44 We need to stop building nuclear plans. This is a way of saying, no, we're on offense. We're America. You know, the left is trying to right now, they're in the middle of a rebrand. And one of their, you know, as we talked about last hour, they're still seemingly stuck in a lot of these crazy woke things that burned them last time. Hopefully they stick with those forever. But one of the proposals being floated around on the left is this idea of,
Starting point is 00:32:08 abundance that's the name of the book that kind of lays these concepts out and it's an idea of of trying to take away what the right has always had which is this idea of saying hey we're looking to grow we want better things we want the Americans to have a better more fruitful more wealthy more you know having more and we'll decide what we want to do when we have more and the left was always saying hey no we need to restrict We need to calm that down. You don't need all this. You don't need the bigger house.
Starting point is 00:32:39 You don't need the bigger car. And that's not the fundamental number one thing we should care about. But it was always there for us to say, hey, all these shelves are stocked. Everything you need is right there. You make the decisions on what you want. You'll make the decisions and prioritize on what you're going to spend your money on and what you're going to spend your time on. And the left is trying to take that back right now. They're seeing an opportunity because of a lot of people on the right who are saying,
Starting point is 00:33:03 no, actually, maybe we shouldn't have those things available. Maybe you don't need them. And I'm nervous. If they decide to go down this road, there is a real vulnerability to the conservative movement if the left takes that away from us and they want to. Stated again more succinctly. Your concern again? My concern is, and this is a real thing being talked about on the left in sort of their higher level academic circles, is the approach to say to take a way that, I don't know. No, it was a, I would say, pretty consistent with that Reagan optimism, right?
Starting point is 00:33:43 The shining city on the hill. The idea that we can do it. We can do it. We can accomplish all these incredible things, not through government, but through you. You can do it. We'll have all these things. And you should expect from your country an abundance, not a scarce city. I'm trying to figure out where are you seeing that on the left?
Starting point is 00:34:03 I mean, there's a major bestseller that just came out called abundance. That was the, and it was from the left. It was from two guys on the left. And I don't know that they'll win. I mean, but, you know, Ezra Klein, Derek Thompson, they're pretty well-known. It's really hard to, that's really hard to sell. I mean, look at Barack Obama. I know.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Look at Barack Obama. He's got, how many houses? Three, where he's building a seawall around one of his houses, where you can't build sea walls in Hawaii. But he's building a seawall around one of them. that's his part-time house. His other part-time houses in Nantucket, one foot above sea level.
Starting point is 00:34:42 One, count them, one foot above sea level. And he's got a third house someplace else. I think it's here in Washington. And he's always talking about, hey, you know, there comes a time when enough is enough and you have too much. When is that, Barack? Because you're telling us that we shouldn't have an SUV.
Starting point is 00:35:02 You've got three houses. See, this whole abundance. thing has never been aimed at them. It's always been aimed at us. They believe in abundance, but only for the right people. The right people get it. And that's, that is the biggest difference in abundance is they've been saying that we all have to, you know, pinch back, but they don't actually mean it. You know, at least the, at least the Republicans are like, yeah, I'm corrupt as hell and making all kinds of money on the side, but you can too. You know, I mean, It's just crazy.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Yeah, no, I agree. I think, look, they've never actually believed any of these things, right? But like, what was their approach? Forever, we've heard the approach of, hey, your TVs are too big. Your cars, they're too, they have too much of what you need. The SUVs are too large. Your homes are too large. You don't need that air conditioning.
Starting point is 00:35:57 You should turn it to 72 degrees. Now, I can bet you at neither Martha's Vineyard or in Hawaii. Barack Obama never had his head. house set to some uncomfortable temperature he didn't like. Well, but they tried to. He might have because he's right on the ocean and you get that lovely ocean breeze that most of us don't get. That's true.
Starting point is 00:36:17 That's true. But I mean, that was, it was always something they tried to implement on the people, right? It was always, we get what we want, but you need to sacrifice for the greater good. And that's a thing that just doesn't connect exactly with the American people, not because they're not charitable because they are. They want to do good things for other people. They will come together and do incredible, accomplish incredible things, which they have done. But it was always this idea that you would be able to, it was part of the American deal, right? We do these things. We work hard. Maybe we work harder. Maybe we work more hours. Maybe we put up with more crap,
Starting point is 00:36:56 but with the idea that we can, you know, shape our own future, the left is trying to take that messaging back. Now, I'm with you and that I am not confident that viewpoint will win out on the left because there's a bunch of insane people. But it is a vulnerability of the right if we go down this road of trying to encourage the same type of scarcity talk that the left has been engaging in. Okay. Okay. So let's let's take that. Next hour, I want to tell you a story that fits right in here on what the leftists are doing now in San Francisco because it's very similar to what you're talking about. And this morning when I read it, I was like, that'll never work. But maybe you're right. Maybe it will. I don't know. But it's insane. We'll talk about that and so much more coming up.

And then I've got to get to the White House to interview the president. And I'm looking forward to that. love to hear your comments. We pulled our audience over the last few days and been asking people,
Starting point is 00:41:07 you know, what are you most interested in? And most people are interested in Doge. That seems to be the hot button with this audience. So I'm going to be talking to him about Doge. In particular, yesterday it was announced that it looks like Elon Musk is going to be reducing his time in Washington on Doge next month. And what does that mean? And is he happy with the amount that has been cut? But, you know, they've really dramatically reduced the amounts of cuts that they're looking for. And I find that a little sad, quite honestly, but I'm not sure why that is happening. Is he getting pushback from the agencies? Is he getting pushback from Congress?
Starting point is 00:41:47 Where is he getting this pushback from? And is he going to just keep plowing through it? What happens when Elon Musk leaves? We'll talk to him about that. Let me go to, is it Renee in Texas or ready? Renee. Renee. Hi, Renee.
Starting point is 00:42:03 What's up? Hi. Tariffs are killing my small business. And it's not even the tariff amounts. It's the way that they were implemented very suddenly and very haphazardly. The shipping companies were not prepared for what was coming. I had shipments in the air. I import most of my goods for my small business specialty martial arts company from Hungary and from Poland.
Starting point is 00:42:29 And UPS and FedEx, they started swapping steel tariffs on shipments that contain zero steel because it's coded as a sporting good. And when I asked, hey, why are y'all doing that? They said, well, we didn't know what was in there. And so to be safe, they coded it as steel. So I'm paying $5,000 in customs for a package that normally would have cost me $600 to $800 in tariffs or customs. And when I said, can I get that back?
Starting point is 00:42:57 They said, well, you have to file a claim with customs, and it may be four to six weeks to get that back. I'm currently out about $30,000. I'm going to, I will ask the president about this, because there's a lot of tariff talk that I want to get to today. I put that down. I am going to put it on my list of things to talk to them about. I feel for you. I really do feel for you. It's been a little sloppy.

Starting point is 00:47:52 going to be airing tonight uh on blaze tvdc tv.com slash glen by the way promo code glen if you'd like to join blaze tv and save 20 bucks do you have kind of an approach here at this point do you know what you're going to ask him no uh um I mean, I do. I've got pages and pages of questions and notes. But now I have to, you know, it's going to take me an hour or two just to whittle it down to the questions I think I can get in. You know, I've got, I don't know, 45 minutes or an hour with the president. And that's from the moment he walks in to the moment he leaves. So you don't have a lot of time.
Starting point is 00:48:31 And, you know, every single word counts. I know, I'm going to start with this. I asked just for a list of the things that he accomplished in the first 100 days. And we got to page 89. I'll have all of them tonight. This is the first 80, I think 89 days. Look at that. That's a lot.
Starting point is 00:48:52 That's just a list of the accomplishments of the first 89 days. That's what would you say that? Four inches thick? I mean, this guy has made more progress than any other president or many presidents combined in the first. 100 days. Nobody's done what what he's done. But, you know, one of the things, and I don't know how I'm going to, because I can't ask him directly. So I kind of try to ask him several questions all the way through that'll kind of give you a sense of, are we looking for a reprieve? Is that where we're going to get a four-year reprieve if the economy doesn't turn around
Starting point is 00:49:32 fast enough? Because I believe the president can turn it around. But if it doesn't turn it around fast enough, or if people don't understand that he is changing the entire structure of the world, and he's trying to do it in two years, really. We're going to be left with a reprieve and not a fundamental change. And does he think that's really possible, especially without Congress? I mean, I'm going to rail on Congress. I don't know if he'll join me on that, but I really want to know why he isn't pounding Congress into the dirt.
Starting point is 00:50:11 I mean, Congress is, they're not helpful at all. And no matter what anybody says, I've talked to enough people just in the last few days here to tell you that anybody who tells you that the Senate and the House leadership is on the president's side, they don't know their butt from their elbow. They have no idea what they're talking about. They are not on his side. They are not working with him. And that's obvious.
Starting point is 00:50:32 I mean, they should be passing, you know, I know this is going to be, you know, he said, I'm going to pass the largest tax cut. Well, he's not. He's, what the Congress is doing is he's actually, he's thwarting the largest tax increase in American history that would come next year. Well, the country needs a tax cut, a tax plan that will actually encourage spending on business, encourage, you know, spending on, um, uh, on creating jobs. I also want to talk to him about energy. I mean, what do you think, Stu? What are the questions you want to know?
Starting point is 00:51:15 I think the economy is a big one and how he's going to kind of go forward with that. We talked about having that sort of positive agenda. I think that would be helpful. It seems like the markets are liking that today. There's a little bit of a, maybe a little bit of an approach change over the past couple of days. And that seems to be helping quite a bit. I think that's a big one. I think certainly energy is a big one.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Department of Education is another one. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Go back to the, go back to the positive. What do you mean by that? Like, we talked about energy going in and saying, look, I'm going to build all these nuclear power plants in the next three years. Because testimony on the Hill yesterday, day before yesterday, from the president of, you know, former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, was pretty clear.
Starting point is 00:52:02 We are going to, right now, the cloud services, if you will, the compute power for all of the big, you know, computer cloud servers, they require currently 3% of all of the electricity that is used in the United States. 3%. In three years, they will require 99% of our energy. Well, there's no way that can happen without us having blackouts and brownouts and, you know, the rest of the country just starving itself from electricity. That'll just collapse everything.
Starting point is 00:52:40 So a positive way to deal with this is to say, I am going to do the biggest energy push ever in American history. And he's already done it for oil and coal. Now he just needs to say, I'm cutting the red tape. I'm going to make sure that they're safe. But there's new technology now with nuclear power plants. And we're going to drop them in city after city. after city where there's cloud servers are going to be because if Eric Schmidt is right and I believe
Starting point is 00:53:09 he is, each one of these cloud servers by 2030 will need a nuclear, full size nuclear power plant themselves. That's incredible. It's incomprehensible. But yeah, as you point out, instead of saying, like an alternate approach to that would be, hey, we need to stop these AI companies from doing this, we need to make sure that they are not taking a work. That's the, I would say, what the left would typically do in a situation like this. They would try to stop the companies from growing. They would try to stop them from innovating. They would say, you need to do more with less.
Starting point is 00:53:46 And I think the conservative argument there is to say, hey, no, we're going to give you the tools that you need. We're going to make it easy for these companies to build nuclear power plants in a safe way, of course. But reliable energy that can fuel these things will be great. I think the same thing, you know, I think if you look at Trump's economic plan, he wants to bring, let's say, manufacturing back to the United States. Well, there's a couple ways that you can do that, and both of them are completely consistent with what Trump wants to do. One of them is, obviously, tariffs.
Starting point is 00:54:15 That's what has had almost all the attention. I think there's a reason why the media focuses on that. I think they rather talk about the tariffs because they're not as popular. The other side of it is incentivizing companies to come here. It's cutting regulation. It's cutting taxes. It's making the United States into the government. greatest place to do business. People will want to come here. And the Democrats have worked
Starting point is 00:54:37 really hard to take that impression away from the world over the past 20 years. And Trump, I think in his first term, did a good job at encouraging that sort of development here. I think it went pretty well with the economy. And I think like that just, it's just a, I think he believes that still. He just, it has then been the focus as much of the messaging. And I think that could help. this is the problem and I'm going to try to get him to explain this I I can't ask him I don't think I can ask him directly because the president of you say look how much trouble will we in you know and is this fixable of course he's going to say yeah it's absolutely fixable but he he needs to articulate or somebody needs to articulate how close to the edge of the abyss we are I mean I you know Stu you know I have I've talked about this economic stuff over and over again, I had a conversation with somebody who I can't say who, but they believe me, they absolutely know what's happening with our dollar and the economy and everything else, okay?
Starting point is 00:55:51 An official in the government that that's, you know, that's pretty much what they do. And I said, look, I'm trying to get my arms around this because I'm thinking about, you know, why he called it Liberation Day. And I think it's because he's changing the whole system, you know, that was set up after World War II, yada, yada, yada. And I said, and I don't think people understand that if we, if he fails, this is it. This is our last chance to save America. That, that we're over.
Starting point is 00:56:28 And this individual put their hand on my shoulder and said, no. Listen, we are over. So he said the same thing I did. He just wanted to make sure that I understood exactly what I was saying. And I found that to be a little terrifying. And I don't think people truly understand this is it. This is it. if you if you want to have a country left we're going to go and experience tremendous pain
Starting point is 00:57:08 and i mean ronald regan talked about this um you know there's going to come a time when none of the choices are good and everybody wants to eat around the edges and not take the whole pie you have to have the whole pie you're going to you can't eat around the edges anymore you've got to fix the entire thing. And that is going to be really painful and dangerous. And I don't know if I can get him to talk about that. I mean, how would you ask him? Do you think that's the way he sees it?
Starting point is 00:57:43 Do you think he, because it does seem like with like the types of maneuvers he's made when it comes to foreign trade, for example, he really does see not just something we need to tweak, right? Like an absolute monumental crisis. right yeah so do you know because I that is a a big change and I think slightly different than maybe the perception was going in and that's you know something he's going to have to kind of deal with with the American people and it's why maybe you know he's having issues with you know some of the independence losing support among independence I don't think he's going to see you know I don't
Starting point is 00:58:23 think that's the way he runs his operation. I don't think he looks at it and says, okay, well, this isn't polling well right now, so I don't want to do it. No, he doesn't. I think he looks at it. He sees himself, and thank God, he sees himself as, um, if I don't do it, no one will. And I think that's true. Um, I don't know of any, but Donald Trump is completely unique. You know, he's been forged in the fire where he wasn't in 2016. He is now. I mean, what are you going to do to him? You try to him in jail. He tried to throw his family in jail. You've tried to destroy his business, his reputation. They've called him every name under the sun. They tried to kill him not once but twice. I mean, what are you going to do to this guy? He doesn't care. And so I really believe that
Starting point is 00:59:18 this is so far beyond him. He knows, look, I'm here at this. time for a reason and it's to save the country in the way I believe it needs to be saved. And so it is a complete departure from the Great Reset. But it is a great reset. The world has been shaping us for this reset. I've been talking about this since 2008. They shaped us for this reset to where they would manage the decline to a certain point and then it would kind of fall apart and then collapse into this new system that they had built.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Well, he's dismantling that at the same time trying to put the system back into place that they had taken apart. It's, I mean, it's, if he can pull this off, it's going to be a miracle. We'll be the first people in the history of the world to pull this off. And it's, I mean, it's an interesting time to be alive.
Starting point is 01:00:19 Going to be interesting to see how well this works out. All right. in just a second. Stand by first. Our sponsor, this half hour, is the Burn a Launcher.

Starting point is 01:02:10 He's done such good work at the World Economic Forum. He's been able to lead us into this new world that we've all been asking for and demanding. Sad to see him go. Especially, he's done some really good work, apparently on the buttocks of several women, which, you know, I don't know. Let's just say they were nice little political. light, pats on the butt, you know, as they pass by, hey, sweetheart, how are you doing? But apparently he has created a very obscene culture at the World Economic Forum. And now, who would have thunk it?
Starting point is 01:02:44 You know, every time he comes to town, prostitutes, you know, go through the roof because they're shipped in from all over the world. But, no, I'm sure it's a very pro-woman, you know, he really cares. He really cares deeply. But apparently he's in trouble for sexual harassment. And also, you know, some problems with some funds. Apparently, he used some funds to buy big houses. But it's no big deal, right?
Starting point is 01:03:12 I mean, he can get away with it. He's Klaus Schwab. I hate these people so much. I hate these people so much. I mean, God, the hypocrisy of these people just kills me. Kills me. That's one of the other things I want to ask. about is
Starting point is 01:03:34 is the Great Reset and how, I mean, six years ago, you remember when we started talking about the Great Reset and everybody said, that's controversial
Starting point is 01:03:43 and I'll look at it. Everybody knows about DEI and CRT and everything else. Everything they said, you have the court system now defending and saying, you can't cut that.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Wait a minute, I thought it was a conspiracy theory. I'm just cutting conspiracies. Isn't that what you want? It's incredible. Yeah. I also want to know, know is he going to stand up to the courts yeah what does that mean exactly too i don't i don't
Starting point is 01:04:09 know obviously there's right now we have we know six supreme court justices that were uh that were actually named by republicans right three of them by president trump himself what does that mean as far because i know that they took a stance against him for example deporting uh certain people uh and um they don't i can't believe it that sort of battle is going to be fast These people, when we were saying, we should vet people, when they're coming in, ask them, hey, here's an idea. COVID. Can we see if they've had their vaccine? No, you can't do that. Now, when we're trying to ship them back home, oh, we've got to have a sit down with them. We have to have a formal interview. You know, before we get rid of them, we have to really sit down and talk to it.
Starting point is 01:04:57 No, no problem, bringing them in. None. Riddled with disease. Not a problem. Hang on just a second. I think you left some of your fingers behind. They just fell off. You don't want to just take those with you as you enter the United States? No problem coming in. All kinds of problems leaving. How does that make sense? A lot of this has to do with your hatred of Maryland fathers. You have always been against people who are just fathers in Maryland. And I don't know. I was a father in Maryland for a while. My daughter was born in Maryland. And I was the dad. So I was a Maryland father. Wow. So you can't be deported. That's apparently the rule. I will say, Did you see the explanation? I love this of the domestic violence thing where, like, you know, she filed a restraining order against her against him for domestic violence. Everyone's like, hey, he beat his wife. She says now, no, no, no, that's not true. She did so. She filed a domestic violence restraining order against her husband, quote, in case things escalated, end quote.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Oh, that happened. Tanya did that to me last week. You know, she's like, I need a restraining. order. I think he might kill me. He's not threatening to kill me, but in case he does. This is Glenn Beck. Gosh, hysterical. All right, I'm a big Second Amendment guy. I believe in your right to defend yourself, but I mean, I have to admit, there are situations when a firearm is not the best option. Say you're driving to work, listen to this program, full volume, windows down, and all of a sudden you're stopped at dead traffic, and some crazy blue-haired lady,
Starting point is 01:06:27 don't even know that she was even in the vicinity. She comes up and says start in your, hit in your hood with a with a baseball bat now hey lady i don't think you need to no i know exactly what i mean and she's just beating with a baseball you know that might you don't want to shoot her um but uh you got to stop her right the burn a launcher that's where it comes in looks like a firearm feels like one but it's non-lethal it'll fire kinetic projectiles or tear gas tear gas rounds that'll stop somebody in their tracks you know without ending their life so little lady she'll be crying for about 45 minutes and not being able to see. But she won't be beating your hood with a baseball bat anymore.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Just in time for cops. You know, if you're not in a blue city. Just in time for cops to get there and haul her away. Now he's for putting grandmothers in jail. I thought he was against it. Burnah, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn. 10% off your purchase now. It's burna.com slash Glenn.

I had to spend more time in Washington, D.C. I've learned so much in the last couple of days. Being able to meet with me with so many people. And then, you know, in the off times I went to a couple of days ago,
Starting point is 01:08:14 I went to the American Art Museum, Smithsonian's American Portraiture or something. What a dump that place is. My gosh. My gosh, what a dump. and so woke. I can't take it. I just can't take it. And I don't know.
Starting point is 01:08:31 I think I'll talk to the president off air because I don't think anybody else cares but he might. It's just a nightmare. Just a nightmare. By the way, thanks to Steve Bannon. I was on Steve Bannon show on Monday. When did that air?
Starting point is 01:08:43 Yesterday? Yeah, I aired yesterday. I went in Monday to do his show. And he aired it yesterday. Interesting. Really, really interesting. We disagree on things. But he also agrees with me that we're in trouble economically, where people need to understand where we are in the grand scheme of things.
Starting point is 01:09:09 And there is a serious mental illness problem happening on the streets of Washington, D.C. I mean, when you get into the Capitol building, it's even worse. But on the streets, it is a serious mental illness. I mean, I've never seen anything like it. My wife has been with me this week, and she said, I've only heard say this once. She said it about 10 years ago in San Francisco, we went, and people were taking a dump in the street, you know, right as we're walking. And it was just very dangerous feeling. And it was a nice section of San Francisco.
Starting point is 01:09:44 And it doesn't exist anymore. But at that time, there still was a nice section of San Francisco. And she said, I'll never come to the city again. She said, I would never walk alone. in this city. And I said, well, I'd be with you. And she's like, nah, walking with you is like walking alone. And so we're walking down the streets of Washington, D.C. And this guy starts to circle us on a bike. And he's got to be about 30 years old. And he just, he starts circling us, you know, riding his bike around us as we're walking. And he's like, I'm going to kill me some white people
Starting point is 01:10:21 today. I'm killing white people today. And I'm like I know, I hate those white people, huh? And he just kept circling and said, you know, could be you. Could be you. And he drives around and he's just like staring at me. Could be you
Starting point is 01:10:37 today. You never know. And I thought, that's either mental, well, it is absolutely mental illness or that is a societal thing that has caused this guy to think that that's totally cool to do that. But it is, it's, it's really bad. But the good news is
Starting point is 01:10:52 the Democrats are here for you. There is a story in Politico that I absolutely love. Here's the headline, and I quote, there's a reckoning to be had. San Francisco Dems move to push the National Party to the center. Now, that's all you need to know, okay?
Starting point is 01:11:12 I mean, the gutter in which the Democrats find themselves now, if the Democrats from San Francisco is leading they're they're the ones leading the way it's how much trouble they're in the story says quote they're attempting to lead an uh by a national conversation around what it takes for democrats to win by rejecting what they deride as performative politics and virtue signaling and embracing
Starting point is 01:11:41 pragmatism and quality of life issues really this is rich uh democrats from the uh capital of left-wing lunacy, now are claiming they want to drag their party back to the middle. And in this story from Politico, they say they're now interested, get this, on fully staffing police departments,
Starting point is 01:12:07 erasing the local regulations that drive up the cost of building new housing, and focusing on public schools and closing the learning gaps for black and Hispanic students in math and reading. Now, this is, wild because I seem to remember that these are exactly the same people that just did the opposite.
Starting point is 01:12:28 They're the ones shouting in the streets to defund the police burning buildings down, yanking our founding father's name off of school buildings, passing Gaza-like resolutions like they're running the UN, turning our cities into giant performance art galleries of needles and poop. These are the ones, and now they're like, you know what, maybe we should have a few more cops. and we should make sure our kids can read again and do math. Really? So were you defund, when you were saying the defunding the policing, was that all, were you joking about that? Or were we just joking about the math and other subjects being racist? Because I'm, according to the Politico's story, they're also calling for imposing potential age limits on elected officials.
Starting point is 01:13:15 Why? He's sharp as attack. No, no, no, he was sharp as attack. There was nothing to see there. Did you see the Elizabeth Warren interview she did with some? Oh my gosh. So good. We talked about it yesterday. It is, that was one of the most revealing things I've ever seen. I mean, she actually laughs. She can't stop herself from laughing at the concept that he was fine, even though she said it publicly over and over and over again.
Starting point is 01:13:40 Play that, Sarah. Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity? He had a sharpness to him. You said that up until July of last year. I said what I believe to be true. And you think he was as sharp as you? I said I had not seen decline. And I hadn't at that point.
Starting point is 01:14:06 You did not see any decline from 2024 Joe Biden to 2021, Joe Biden? Not when I said that. The thing is, he, look, he was sharp, he was on his feet. I saw him, live event. I had meetings with him a couple of times. Senator, on his feet is not praise. He can speak in sentences, is not praise. Fair enough.
Starting point is 01:14:35 Fair enough. Look, it is, the question is, whatever politician says, look, are we gonna do now? Okay. Yeah. I mean, that's a great, it's a great clip. He does a great job interviewing her. He does.
Starting point is 01:14:51 As well, pushing her on this, because it's so obvious and she's, it's so comical that she can't even keep a straight face. We use that term a lot. You can't keep a straight face. That's a great example of it. She legitimately, multiple times,
Starting point is 01:15:06 laughs at her own public statements. Like it's okay. Like it's absolutely okay. And we're all in this joke together. We all get it. He's sharp as a attack. The guy is a Roomba stuck in the corner of the room, man. Just pounding into the,
Starting point is 01:15:21 I mean, for the love of Pete. Now they're saying, you know, we've got to have an age limit for, why? Weekend of Bernie strategy with the new Bernie is, you know, maybe suboptimal right now. This is crazy. And I want to tell you that this is what you need to know about this. There is zero sincerity in this at all. You have no reason to believe this is sincere from the Democratic Party at all. But just pretend for a second that it is sincere.
Starting point is 01:15:49 It would be enormous. It would be an enormous breakthrough. The heavens would part. the angels would sing if they actually de-radicalized the Democratic Party, but they have no intention to do that, no intention to do that. Here's what's going on. San Francisco Democrats are calling their strategy new pragmatism. What does that mean? In other words, you don't have any real principles, just a willingness to rebrand according to which way the wind is blowing so you can look like you just want to get things done. They're not sorry for the clown show virtual signaling
Starting point is 01:16:22 policies. Look how sad she is. Look at how much remorse she has. She's laughing at how she lied about the guy who had the finger on the nuclear button. Nobody should laugh at that. Nobody. Nobody. They are just terrified of losing again. Look. Anytime a politician says, look, look, they're lying to you. San Francisco wants to be the model for Democrats to win back union workers, immigrants, young people. Voters they lost because they were too busy arguing that standardized tests are hate crimes. Good luck with that pivot, guys. Good luck. Good luck. You can't just, I, as a guy who has worked with chalkboards for a very long time, you can't just wipe the chalkboard clean. the whole country has seen your math and I'm sorry
Starting point is 01:17:17 you have to scrub it clean and you're busy scrubbing but we all saw what you wrote on the chalkboard and none of this adds up doesn't make any sense whatsoever okay back in just a second first let me tell you about our sponsor

Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word female, than the word work. I was on with Steve Bannon yesterday. I recorded it on Monday, and here's a little
Starting point is 01:19:58 bit of that. I wonder why he hasn't taken Congress to the woodshed. The only chance we have is cut our regulation dramatically. Pass the Raines Act. Okay? Pass the Raines Act. Pass that. Cut
Starting point is 01:20:14 the regulation at least by half. then give unleash the animal spirits yes give me 15 15 15 15 in taxes 15 percent capital gains 15 15 15 15 for the average person 50 make it 17 17 17 17 I don't care but that incentivizes the entrepreneur I can start my own business 70 percent of all jobs begin with small businesses yes we've got to incentivize those people and that's Congress and they're sitting around like they did after they won the tea party they're going to be responsible for losing this whole thing they've got to move what do you say about the investigations the deep state everything we know about
Starting point is 01:20:59 brunnon okay talk about that we only got a couple of minutes our audience of one thing they get furious about is and pam and cash as good as you get what's the problem your audience the same way they're steamed oh yeah um you know you can do an awful lot of stuff but until you start putting bad guys in jail i don't believe you i don't believe you and you know a sense of urgency it's not like we have this forever no i mean if heem jeffreys wins in 18 months which is not aside the possible we're done they're going to impeach trump right about done so where where is the doj okay i know cash quite well i believe cash i don't know pam okay that i'm not thrown dispersions on her but something's not right why aren't you
Starting point is 01:21:47 unleashing is that the deep state has them by the throat what is it but it's got to be solved you you have no is that a message that you think you i don't want to get into your private conversation of the president but is that something you would highlight that oh yeah oh yeah you you think there needs a bit a sense of urgency about this what does any of it mean why is congress taking so much time off right now traditional two weeks of vacations or two weeks back to consider they don't have town halls i don't know i don't know I mean, it is. Because collectively they're good people, but as a body.
Starting point is 01:22:22 They're horrible. They're horrible. They're horrible. I honestly, Steve, I can't tell you. I am at a loss for DOJ and I'm at a loss for Congress. And I'm at a loss on Donald Trump, man. Why aren't you using the bully pulpit to go after your own here? Eat them.
Starting point is 01:22:43 Eat them. Tell them. Oh, we're watching you. watching you. The whole country is watching you. Get to work. Do these things now. Have you seen the clock on the wall and the numbers spinning? We're burning daylight. Burning daylight. It was an interesting conversation. I actually, as I'm watching this, I forgot we had had this conversation. And as I'm watching this, I realize I have an answer now. I think in talking to more people that are in and around the administration, people that know, the one thing that is.
Starting point is 01:23:16 and it goes back to Congress. Congress is holding back the nominees, the Republicans are, holding back the nominees that people like Pam Bondi and Cash and everybody else need. They have to go through Congress. And some of our leadership on our side is like, you know, we passed all your people. You got all of the people. But don't expect to get everything through until maybe August or end of the year. You can't go a year without those people. so it's my new understanding i'm going to ask the president tonight but it's my new understanding
Starting point is 01:23:51 that that is the real problem is that congress is not clearing and putting the people in that those people need around them to get the job done i hope that's not true but we'll see because i don't understand it i really don't understand it um so you have what an hour with the president yeah i'm i'm i'm going to take the uh you're going to finish the show and i'm going to go over to the House. I just have put it, you know, I don't know, I'm still struggling on on how I'm going to frame everything. I think I, you know, as I've been looking at all this this morning, I think I'm going to try to frame it under Liberation Day because I think people need to understand how big this job is of what he's trying to do. And I think, I mean, if my theory is right, that he named it Liberation Day because
Starting point is 01:24:40 he's changing everything, the whole world order since World War II, uh, that leads us into you know, everything that he's, that he is doing and gives it a deeper understanding. But I'm going to talk about the tariffs and the economy and Doge, jail for the bad guys, the courts, foreign affairs. I mean, we're going to cover it. I'm going to cover as much as I can with the president. And that'll be on Blaze TV tonight at 9 p.m. from the White House tonight, 9 p.m. My interview with Donald Trump is Glenn Beck.
Starting point is 01:25:18 All right. Let me talk about Ammo Squared here. You've got a car insurance, even if you're a good driver. You have health insurance, even when you're not sick. Hopefully, you've got some ammo, even if you haven't needed it yet. But here's the thing. Ammo isn't just something that you buy once and forget. It's a supply.
Starting point is 01:25:46 And like any supply, it can run low, usually at the worst possible time. That's where Ammo Squared comes in. Think of it like a savings account, but for ammunition. You pick the calibers that you want, how much you want to spend each month, and they handle the rest. They store this for you in a secure facility. Or you can have it shipped to your door whenever you're ready. No more panic buying, no more empty shelves, no more I'll get around to it.
Starting point is 01:26:07 And, you know, it's kind of genius. Just like food or water or power, if you wait until you need ammo to go buy it, it's probably already too late and probably too expensive. That's why you want to go with Ammosquare.com. Ammosquare.com, take the work out of buying ammo. 100,000 members, thousands of five-star reviews. It's Ammosquare.com. Amosquare.com.
Starting point is 01:26:26 Check them out today. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Stubergear. here for you as Glenn goes, his little jaunt to the White House. For some reason, the president of the United States did not plan his schedule around our program today. It is wrong. Jeff Fisher joins us as well, of course, host of Chewing the Fat, the wonderful podcast hosted by Jeffie. We'll get to him in just a couple of seconds. Almost sounds like you'd believe it. I didn't. I didn't believe it, but I'm glad I was a little bit convincing. First let me tell you about the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. September 11th,
Starting point is 01:28:03 isn't just a day that we remember. It's a day that's still, to this day, taking lives. We lost 2,97 souls on that morning, men, women, children. We lost heroes and first responders who ran toward the danger without a second thought. But here's something that a lot of people don't know. More first responders have died from 9-11-related illnesses since that day than died on it, which is really terrifying. The legacy of sacrifice deserves to be honored not just once a year, but regularly in every classroom
Starting point is 01:28:32 across America. That's exactly what the Tentelm Tower's Foundation is doing through the 9-11 Institute. They're equipping K through 12 teachers with powerful age-appropriate resources, full curriculum units, ready to teach scripted lessons, videos, and even first-hand survivor stories through the Discovering Heroes book series. They've even built a traveling museum, the 9-11 mobile exhibit where students walk through the day in the shoes of the firefighters who were there. It's guided by the very men who lived it. To never forget, we must educate future generation. help our nation keep its vow. Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to T-Towers at T2T.org. It's T-the-number-2T.org. Jeffrey, welcome. Good to see him, my man.
Starting point is 01:29:16 Stu, good to see you. How are you? Well, I'm doing well. I mean, this is a big day for our own Glenn Beck. I mean, that's a big surprise. He's, you know, doesn't realize he's got his own show to do. Yeah, I know. It is interesting. I just feel like, you know. I would say, I am working on my own show, just not this one. Yes, it's true. He's going to be, by the way, able to see this interview unedited tonight. They're going to put this on Glenn's TV show, Glenn TV. Of course, part of your Blaze TV subscription, blazestTV.com slash Glenn. The promo code there is Glenn. Of course, you also get Studeau's America, chew in the fat, a part of the podcast network, get all of it. And it's a great membership. And it also helps support actual journalism, actual conservative thought, you know, maybe some media. coverage you could actually get something out of. It'll be nice. I'll be interested
Starting point is 01:30:06 to see this interview tonight with the president and Glenn. I know it's a different thing doing an interview on your show when President Trump's on the phone. Yeah. As opposed to going to the White House and doing it there face to face. There's a
Starting point is 01:30:22 on his ground. It's on his ground, right? And it's interesting because the president he's got about an hour with the president, Glenn does. And you know, the president isn't one of those guys that sometimes you bring on a guest you know this jeffy you bring on a guest and they they answer in like half sentences and they're kind of they're kind of boring and they're quick and they don't say anything interesting and they get they're dumb after two sentences and they kind
Starting point is 01:30:47 of let you go on to the next question that's not president that is not don't trump no president trump is going to give you he's going to go you're going to start him off he's going to go you're not to make a point to get to get to yeah it's hard it is hard it's a challenge with him because you know look the guy is he's a talk He likes talking about these stuff. He cares about it quite a bit. And he'll just go. Especially if you want to confront him on something, if you want to, if he says something,
Starting point is 01:31:10 you're like, well, let's back up and think about this for a second. Yeah. Now you've wasted another, not wasted, but I mean, there goes another 10 minutes. Right. Of the hour that you have. You have to really be focused. And I wouldn't, I don't know, Glenn, I think can be up and down on that one. Sometimes he's very focused and gets to the stuff he wants to get to.
Starting point is 01:31:27 Other times. Other times, maybe not so much. So we'll see what happens tonight. I'm very interested to watch this. you know, Glenn obviously goes into this wanting to ask about all the important stuff that's going on, but you can only get to certain things and we'll see what he gets to tonight on the program. Again, the show airs at, was it 9 p.m. Eastern? I can't remember.
Starting point is 01:31:47 I don't know. It's on Blaze TV. BlaisTV.com slash Glenn, the promo code being Glenn. Make sure to check it out. You'll save 20 bucks on the subscription if you go about it that way. One thing I don't know that he'll have a chance to get to is the new proposal from the FDA, to phase out dyes used in a bunch of foods. This is the part of-
Starting point is 01:32:08 I'll be messing with my skittles, too. Tell you what, I don't care about all the other red dye, yellow dye, sit there's dyes, don't mess with my skittles. No? No. You don't want your skittles. I will say I'm not shocked to see you defending big food.
Starting point is 01:32:24 And I'll be probably with you on this as well. I mean, the red dye thing is something they've been trying to push for a while. You know, there have been a lot of, calls for this to be banned for a long time. The Biden administration did do this as well. They banned red dye number three. One red dye. One red dye number three.
Starting point is 01:32:42 Now, these are foods that, these are dyes that are in all sorts of foods, though it's maybe a little overblown how many foods they're in. A lot of it has been, you know, some companies have just decided they didn't want to put these dyes in foods already. But they say the fluorescent red of flaming hot Cheetos. Are you a flaming hot Cheetos guy? Not really. Not me either.
Starting point is 01:33:02 I like the cheesy stuff. I feel like the flaming hot stuff. Yeah. They just abandon the cheese. You want to give me a spicy cheese flavored thing? I'm in. But what they're doing there is they're doing a lot of just the spice without the cheese. And I just, you know.
Starting point is 01:33:17 So that could go away. That one's fine. No. They are the, they do say, the brilliant teal of Mountain Dew Baja blast, which I do enjoy quite a bit. And the colorful rain blow of Skittles may soon be dimmed. See, this is not. This is unacceptable. The FDA is phasing out the use of these,
Starting point is 01:33:37 they call petroleum-based synthetic dyes by the end of next year. This is what they announced. Now, it's interesting to see how they're doing this. Their approach is not as heavy-handed as I would say. The left has engaged in over the years, where they're just going out and actually banning it. They seem to be indicating they're going to work with companies to do it. To do it.
Starting point is 01:33:59 They have to come to the table and say, look, we can't get rid of it. because of this. Right. There'll be, I'm sure, a lobbying effort. And look, the reason why these dyes are used is typically because they're less expensive than the alternatives. And also more vibrant.
Starting point is 01:34:13 Right. That's the thing. They want to brighten, especially like the citrus ones they talked about. Right. Well, I'll give you this example. RFK Jr. Look, I'll be honest. I'm not an RFK Jr. guy.
Starting point is 01:34:25 Like, Marty McCari is another guy who's been out there talking about this. I like him a lot. Big J. Bottachari guy. A lot of the people that Donald Trump has chosen for his health health apparatus, I really do like. You know, RFK Jr., not so much, I will admit to you. He was talking about how he had this big thing when he was running for president against Donald Trump when he was talking about fruit loops and how Canadian fruit loops only have three ingredients, and we have all these ingredients in our fruit loops.
Starting point is 01:34:57 Now, needless to say, that's not even remotely close to accurate. I mean, it's hard. I would love to know which three ingredients you could form a fruit loop with because I don't know, there's just not a physical way to do it. You can't make fruit loops with three ingredients. It's not even remotely close to true. The only way to make fruit loops in three ingredients is if you actually use real fruit, right? Okay.
Starting point is 01:35:19 If you use just... And that's what Canada does. No, that is not what they do. They do not have three ingredients. They have basically, I think, the exact same amount. It might be one or two less ingredients, a fewer ingredients, but basically the, exact same amount of ingredients. But what they do that is different than us is they utilize different dyes for their fruit loops. So if you look at the fruit loops, side by side, Canadian fruit loops,
Starting point is 01:35:46 U.S. fruit loops, I'm sorry, there's no doubt which one you're taking. You're taking the good old American fruit loops. Right. They look better. They look, they pop, right? They've got those cool colors, the bright blues and the bright reds and the bright reds and the bright reds and the bright. yellows and then you have that kind of like boring like yeah it's dull cereal look and and of course we should point out cereals without these flavorings fruit loop type cereals are currently widely available in the united states if you choose to want your dull cereals are available they're available for forever they're available for a very long time there's a you know again it's usual I will say a little bit more expensive
Starting point is 01:36:32 because the reason why they use the artificial dyes first of all they look better and they're more enticing to people and secondarily they are cheaper right they they they if you go to Trader Joe's you can find tons of cereals that are not flavored
Starting point is 01:36:50 with artificial flavorings but they're going to cost a lot more they're much more expensive when you take all these ingredients out so that's why a lot of these big cereal companies utilize these dyes They're cheaper, and of course, they also look better. But you can get the other ones if you want them now. To me, as a person who wants less government interference, rather than more,
Starting point is 01:37:12 I typically lean on the side of wanting the options to all be out there. You should be able to choose what you want. Now, I know what I will choose every single time, which is the good old American petroleum-based food coloring. That's what I want. Absolutely. But I open up my bag of Skittles. If I don't have those vibrant colors staring back at me shining, ready to be eaten, I don't.
Starting point is 01:37:37 Right. I don't know. I don't know why either because it doesn't really change the taste of them at all. They all taste. Everyone is different to. Yeah. Fruit loops. By the way, did you know this?
Starting point is 01:37:45 I'm sure you did, Jeffrey, but did you know that every fruit loop, no matter what the color tastes the same? It's exactly the same. It tastes the same, which is interesting. That's why on top of whatever they put in the dyes for fruit loops, you need a a little bit more extra sugar on top of it. Right. Just just brighten it up a little bit.
Starting point is 01:38:03 You need to brighten it up a little bit. That's not, again, healthy choice is not exactly your strong suit. So this is what they're going into now. They say there's been an interesting, the studies on this, I will say, are not, not overwhelming. If you go back and live. There's been very few, actually. There's been very few.
Starting point is 01:38:21 And what they've shown has been really mixed. I mean, there was a study a long time ago and that, and this is the basis. Again, this was the Biden administration getting rid of red number three. Now, they tried to get rid of red number three. They eventually did it. They did it right before Trump came into office. And the study said that certain rats can get cancer with certain amounts of red number three. The levels taken in yes.
Starting point is 01:38:51 Yes. Now, the levels, I mean, it's completely absurd. First of all, they gave 65 times the maximum. dose to these rats. And they gave them 65 times the maximum dose every day for 28 consecutive months. Wow. Now, I don't know if there's any substance you could take at that level that would not cause cancer, but maybe there's one.
Starting point is 01:39:16 I don't know what it would be. You probably, even with that, if you had 65 the amount of times of the amount of maximum, the maximum dose of water every day for 28 months, you'd probably be dead. Yeah. So I don't know why that is an. important study, but that is what they did on. By the way, the study, the author of the study, which they use to take red number three off the market, says it's actually safe. So they took his study where he said it's safe and then use that to pull it off the market. Now, one of the
Starting point is 01:39:47 things they've studied over the years, Jeffie, is this concept of it causing ADHD. Yeah, yeah. That was one of the California studies, right? That's probably, there's more basis to that one, because they have found in about half the studies that they've looked at, they've seen some effect on some children when it comes to a measure of ADHD. And it's funny, I have a friend who is, you know, he's like our lovely Hillary who does the four bit of buzz here. She was just busting on me because she's, you know, she likes the more natural approach. She's certainly more healthy than I am.
Starting point is 01:40:21 So we all know that. But, you know, I have a friend who's kind of like Hillary in that, you know, he's, you know, he's very like natural and likes to talk to me about however a chemical and our food is bad. And we go back and forth about this. And, you know, it was funny because this week he's telling me we have to pull off all these food colorings because of ADHD. Last week he was telling me ADHD didn't exist. And I'm like, wait a minute. You were the one who was telling me last week that ADHD was just a scam.
Starting point is 01:40:48 And then this week you're telling me we have to pull red number of whatever 40 off the shelves because it causes ADHD. So I'm a bit. confused as to what we're doing here exactly. But I mean, I think most people are like, look, if I could do without, you know, some petroleum-based food coloring, sure, I'll choose it. It might not everyone might be us, Jeffie. Some people might want that. Fine, whatever. You be you. By the way, I will say it is available for you. It's available right now. Thank you. Now, one of the things you might notice if these things go away is that prices do go up on these items, right?
Starting point is 01:41:25 Like, because the, the alternatives are more expensive. Well, that's what we've been told forever. Yeah. And we'll say, maybe at a certain scale. No, no, uh, investigations on how to do the product cheaper without it, knowing it was coming. I mean, I hope so. You'd think that they would.
Starting point is 01:41:43 And there are alternatives, right? Beat juice is one of them. You know, beat juices. Don't be messed with my skittles, man. You start putting beet juices, my skittles, too. Look, maybe people want beet juice. That's good. They can have it, but not with...
Starting point is 01:41:57 And their skittles. And by the way, even things like skittles, there are, quote, unquote, natural alternatives. Like you pull them off of a tree. Natural alternatives for your skittles. Those do exist. I remember picking the... If they get overrived, you got to eat them off the ground. You do.
Starting point is 01:42:12 You do. All right. Well, we'll come back. We'll talk about the alternatives here in just a second. What's going to be happening? First, let me tell you about Lear Capital. Some things in life are temporary. Trends, headlines, the ups and downs of the market.
Starting point is 01:42:22 But wisdom, Real wisdom stands the test of time. The stability is kind of what Lear Capital is all about, because in a world that feels more volatile by the day, gold and silver don't play by the same rules. They're not just investments, they're anchors that hold the market when, you know, there's sways and there's currencies going crazy and governments are spending like there's no tomorrow. Gold is there. It's been there for a long time.
Starting point is 01:42:45 Lear Capital helps you put something real in place, something your family can count on. For 25 years, they've helped people like you prepare for on. certain times, not with panic, but with purpose, because you just don't build a legacy by earning. You build it by protecting what matters. So give Lear Capital a call today, $800957 gold, $800957 gold. Get your free $4,200 gold report, which seemed like a crazy number, not that long ago. $4,200 for an ounce of gold. Yeah, it's at like $3,500 now.
Starting point is 01:43:14 So if we're getting there, when you call $800,957 gold, ask about getting up to $15,000 in free gold or silver with a qualifying purchase. 800-9-57 gold is the number to call 800-9-57 gold for Lear Capital 10-second station ID Okay, we're talking about the synthetic food dyes They want to phase out of
Starting point is 01:43:43 Foods in the United States They're working on that now What you can substitute these for Beat juice is one of them for reds They have like certain blueberry juices That they use That's fine If you want that
Starting point is 01:43:57 They're not, now they are not as vibrant Not as bright but they could be a useful substitute. That's not the main one they use, though. It's not normally beat juice. It's usually carmine. Now, Carmine also is known as natural number four. So instead of red 40, you're getting natural number four, which sounds wonderful.
Starting point is 01:44:14 It sure does. Okay. How do you make natural number four? I don't know, Stu. How do you make natural number? Interesting people are interested in this because it sounds delicious. First of all, you go to the prickly pear cactus. Okay.
Starting point is 01:44:28 Okay. That kind of sounds interesting. I've, I've not seen a prickly pear cactus field, but I'm sure they exist. Yeah, they do exist. They come, now again, you're not going to be, this is not going to be an American product. This is going to be Central and South America. Okay.
Starting point is 01:44:44 I get these from. But you go through the prickly pear plant and you don't go into the pickly, prickly pear plant. Right. You don't go in there. You go to the outside of it and you scrape off the cochineal insects. that are on the outside. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:44:59 You scrape a bunch of those off. Okay. When they become mature, you are going to harvest... The plants or the bugs? The bugs. You're only going to harvest, however, we should be clear, only the females of this particular species of insect. You're going to take off of the prickly pear plants.
Starting point is 01:45:16 I know. I don't know what kind of magnifying glass you need to figure out which one's which, but you figure it out. Sadly, I do. Anyway, it's a joke there somewhere. So when these insects are mature, you brush them off the cacti. and they mostly are collected by hand, a very labor-intensive process.
Starting point is 01:45:34 Then the insects are killed and dried using sunlight, ovens, or steam. It takes about 70,000 of these bugs to make a pound of dye that will go into your skittles very soon. That's got to be cheap. Now, once you dry the bugs out, you then grind the bugs into a fine powder.
Starting point is 01:45:55 And you take that powder and you boil it in water and you extract the vibrant carminic acid. Now, this mixture is now filtered and this is, people are like, oh, what are going to be eating insects parts? No. It's filtered to remove the insect solids.
Starting point is 01:46:14 You'll just be having the insect powder. It's the goo. It leaves the liquid red extract. And then it is treated with some mineral salts to stabilize the pigment. It is then concentrated, dried into a fine powder, and then kept as a liquid concentrate, and then it shipped to be added to your skittles. Right there.
Starting point is 01:46:36 So you can go with that. There's going to be at least one bag of skittles in America. That's a lot of work. That is amazing. One pound of dye, 70,000 bugs. Now, I've been told that people are resistant to the movement to eat bugs. Yeah. That is what I've been told over the past few months.
Starting point is 01:46:55 I thought we had this whole, you know, World Economic Form, Klaus Schwab, don't eat the bugs thing. We will be eating more bugs if we go down this road. I don't think there's any question about that. I don't know that people want that exactly. I think they'd rather have beet juice. But it's not going to be that many. You can't make the amount of product that we make doing that.
Starting point is 01:47:16 I just can't. I think the bugs are plentiful, Jeffie. This is why eating bugs is so wonderful. You can go and get, you can create these things like crazy. So once we get the supply chain, up and running of these cactus bugs. We're good to go then. I guess we're good to go at that point.
Starting point is 01:47:33 Once we have, and we are already using this in a bunch of foods. This isn't like a brand new thing. This is the, you know, one of the main alternatives to red number 40. All right. So eat the bugs.
Starting point is 01:47:45 Eat the bugs in your skittles. I don't know. I'm not too enthused, frankly about that switch off. But, you know, again, people should be able to have the choices and eat all the bugs that they desire.
Starting point is 01:47:57 Triple-8-727 Beck is the number. This is Glenn Beck. Now, maybe you want to try to stay away from eating bugs. Maybe you're thinking maybe you would eat something a little more traditionally American. Maybe you're seeing the meat at the grocery store that you're buying and you're like, I don't think I want that. And prices are kind of going way up and the labels are confusing. And half the time you're not even sure if the chicken you're buying is from America for just kind of maybe vacation. here once, I don't know. If it's, if you're kind of going through that, you might want good ranchers.
Starting point is 01:48:34 They source 100% of American meat. This is no mystery labels, no imported junk pretending to be local. We're talking better beef, better chicken, better everything. It's all from American farms and ranches. And it shows up right at your door. You don't have to do anything weird like barter with a butcher or learn what mechanically separated means or, you know, you don't have to deal with any of the crazy stuff they're trying to pull on you these days. You just pick up a box, they ship it frozen, and packed, you know, like it's from Fort Knox. And then you got a freezer full of high-quality meat. That didn't cost you or your sanity or your savings.
Starting point is 01:49:07 If you're tired of playing grocery store roulette, go to good ranchers.com. You'll save time, money, and probably a little bit of your sanity. Go to good ranchers.com. Subscribe today. Good ranchers.com. It's American Meat delivered. All right. We've got much, much more, more of the preview of Glenn's interview tonight.

Starting point is 01:50:04 We are talking about a little bit about Glenn's interview. He's got an interview coming up tonight with the president of the United States. Yeah, Donald Trump. You can, of course, subscribe at blazedt.com slash Glenn. Promocode is Glenn. You'll save 20 bucks on your subscription. All sorts of different things he's going to go into. Is it going to be from the Oval or is there they're shuffling them off on the side room?
Starting point is 01:50:25 That's good question. I don't know where they're going to do it. I know there's a lot of talk beforehand because there are some incredible shots you can get when it comes to just an amazing look of an interview inside that building, obviously. And I know, you know, Glenn. Glenn loves his sets. Glenn loves his, he loves his cinematography. He's very focused on the look of the interview. I'm surprised I could even slide to your left just a little bit.
Starting point is 01:50:49 I need that. I'd say, you know, Glenn, like, you know, if you're concerned about the look of the interview, perhaps a few pushups. You know what I mean? I'm just saying, here, have this nice plate of bugs that look like red dye. It should take some of that. It's natural. I want to, he mentioned some of the craziness going on in the city. You know, homelessness is a massive problem there now and a lot of mental illness on the streets.
Starting point is 01:51:15 As Glenn mentioned, a lot of mental illness inside of the Capitol as well. And a lot of corruption there, too. If you remember the story of Bob Menendez, he was the Democratic senator from New Jersey and was there forever. It was accused of, you know, credibly over many, many crimes for a long time. And Democrats just kept putting him in office and put him in office and put him in office. Eventually got to the place where it was completely ridiculous for him to stay. He was accused of accepting bribes, including gold bars famously. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 01:51:48 cash, a luxury car, in exchange for political favors. They had found over $480,000 in cash hidden in clothing and in closets. That's awesome. Plus, I love this, 13 gold bars in his home. How many gold bars do you have in your home right now, Jeffrey, would you say? Right now. If you could estimate it. You don't have to give me an exact number, obviously.
Starting point is 01:52:08 It's just estimate the number of gold bar. Probably close to zero. Really? But I don't want to go out on a limb and say there might be, you know, less than zero. Less than zero. You may owe a gold bar to a couple of people. These are business interests, you know, people had interest in, from Egypt and across the world.
Starting point is 01:52:28 Oh, yeah. In return, he helped secure some arms deals. He allegedly was trying to influence U.S. foreign policy. He was indicted in September 2023 for the bribery and the fraud and the acting as a foreign agent. He was hit with additional charges in early 2024. They had actually traced the gold bar serial number. numbers to previous robberies.
Starting point is 01:52:52 Now, they don't think he actually robbed any banks. No, no, no. But seemingly one of the businessmen who was alleged of trying to bribe him was involved in the robbery. To be fair, he was still a senator now. And he still was going on as normal. He didn't leave the Senate until I think after he was convicted. Yeah, because he kept, eventually turned against him the vibes. You know, people like Federman.
Starting point is 01:53:18 were on it right away saying like this guy's got to resign. But most of the Democrats kind of just shut their mouth on it. Eventually got to the point where it was so ridiculous they had to get him out of there. And he threatened to maybe run as an independent and didn't really go down that road. So now he was on trial and he was convicted. But his wife was also involved in this, right, Jeffrey? Correct. And they split up the trial because the wife had breast cancer.
Starting point is 01:53:44 And that originally his defense was, oh yeah, my wife has breast cancer. She did it all. It was. He really did push it off on her initially, right? Now, again, he's going to prison. He's going to prison in June. He asked the judge, after he was found guilty, to postpone him going to prison
Starting point is 01:54:04 because he wanted to help in his wife's trial, which was nice of him. Very nice. So he wanted to be supportive husband. I need to help her through her trial. He didn't come to trial once. Her trial went on for, several weeks.
Starting point is 01:54:20 Not once to show up. Now maybe he was helping her out on the side at home. I don't know. Wait a minute. So he got the prison time delayed to help her in the trial, but that didn't go to the trial? Never showed up once. Not one time. Not even like the first day you show up with your arm around. I'm just super supportive of my wife. He just didn't come at all. That's correct.
Starting point is 01:54:41 Now she has been found guilty of bribery, conspiracy, and obstruction of justice charges. And she's going to be sentenced about the same time as he goes to prison. And she's probably going to get about the same amount of time that he gets. So she was really involved in this? That wasn't just him. How do you know that? There were times. There was one, there was one insurance broker that was having a criminal probe against them. And he gave her a car to make sure that Bob Goldbar Menendez takes care of the criminal probe. Oh, yeah. Because there's records of he testified and said that he
Starting point is 01:55:19 he gave her a down payment on the car she called hubby and said hey look at my new car and then she was in another meeting i think with the egyptians although i'm not sure when this meeting was at a dinner party and she was just like what else can the love of my life do for you today i mean so she was definitely pushing bob and she was pushing her absolutely now i did not know this one one quick thing about when they found all the cash stuff in the house. Yes. It said that including inside the former senator's official government windbreaker.
Starting point is 01:55:52 I didn't know they had official government windbreakers. Is that part of the perks package you get? I guess so. You get a government wind breaker? Don't keep cash in it at the house, though. I have heard some of these congressmen break wind often. So I don't know if that has anything to do, especially was the guy with a super high pants. Oh, yeah, from New York.
Starting point is 01:56:10 Yeah, from New York. What's that I get that it was name. He's the guy that they say is the worst smelling. The worst offender. Yeah. Congressman? I can see him. Yes, I can see him too because his... Pulls his pants way up.
Starting point is 01:56:20 They're jacked up to his nipples. Yes. What is it again? No, not Barney Frank. No. He's a former congressman. Why can I think of a guy? This guy's still a congressman.
Starting point is 01:56:28 We'll get the name here in a second. You know who he is. Absolutely know who he is. I can't think of a stupid name. But this is a fascinating because she, it wasn't like she got a Toyota Corolla either. It was a Mercedes. No, Mercedes-Benz. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:56:38 So she got that. Anyway, it's just fascinating. She's guilty now. And she gets sentenced about the time that he goes to prison. Both of them. are done. And it was fascinating to me, especially since he tried to throw her under the bus.
Starting point is 01:56:51 And then he gets found guilty. And then he talks the judge into postponing him showing up for prison because he's going to help her with her trial. And he doesn't show up. He's a good guy. Good guy. By the way, Jerry Nadler. Yes, he's the name we were thinking of. People were screaming
Starting point is 01:57:07 at the radio. I apologize. Jerry Nadler. It is interesting. He was accused as being the smelliest member of Congress. Yeah. There were a number of reports that Jerry was, I forget the term of him, like, think of a firecracker going off down the aisle in Congress. Okay. He would just come along as a carpet bomb. Yeah, he had a little bit of a flatulence issue, was the accusation.
Starting point is 01:57:33 I will say it would be an interesting change in our society. And I don't know how America would change, but I think it would change dramatically if we had like smello vision on. TV where when we watched, you know, C-SPAN, you could smell what these people smelled like. I think there'd be a big change in this country. I think a lot of the people who are currently in Congress would be defeated. I don't disagree with you, except you know, that's not what we're going to be using it for. Yeah. On television.
Starting point is 01:58:05 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Probably. Probably. None of it's good. None of it. Nothing.
Starting point is 01:58:10 Nothing is positive. By the way, they're not the only relationship that's having some problems. I mentioned this a little bit earlier. Our friend Kilmar, Abrego Garcia. Is that the Maryland father of the year? Yes. I don't know if he was father of the year.
Starting point is 01:58:26 Okay. Although I will assume that the Democrats will be giving him that award any day now. But he, of course, was a suspected MS-13 gang member. He was here in the country illegally. He waited five. Some of the reports I'm saying, five years, some or seven, to actually say, well, he needed asylum.
Starting point is 01:58:49 And he needed asylum, Jeffrey, because his mother's Pupusa stand had been harassed by a gang. What are you going to do? This is why he couldn't go back home. What are you going to do? You can't go back home. Now, the issue with that claim, there's a couple issues with that claim. I'll be honest with, there's a couple of them. Number one, the Pupusa stand closed a long time ago, no longer exists.
Starting point is 01:59:10 So it would be odd that he couldn't go back to El Salvador because he's a lot of, because he's His Papuso stand was being attached. Which, by the way, he left his mom there. So the gang's coming after his mom. And he left. He leaves, leaves his mom in the Papusas stand there. He doesn't care about them. Because they can't pay the protection money or something.
Starting point is 01:59:29 That's close. Also, the actual gang in El Salvador also doesn't really exist anymore because Buckele came in and got rid of all the gangs. Right. So the gangs aren't there. The Papusas aren't there. but he has to stay here. That's what we're supposed to believe.
Starting point is 01:59:46 Well, yeah. He, for his asylum, and I know it's not asylum for his. Yeah, it was a different type of asylum claim, but it was a, it was some sort of preventing a, a, a departure, essentially. Like, there's some strange term, and I can't remember that. But he admitted, right. That was one of the reasons that he couldn't go back. Right.
Starting point is 02:00:12 That's what he said. Delaying. Yeah. Yeah. So they, they, when they, he was going to claim asylum and they said, well, you have to do that within the first year that you're here. So they give us a nice window of a year. You can come here, set up your life, you know, go through a whole Little League season. I mean, you can do a lot of stuff. And then by one year, you have to say, by the way, the only reason I'm here is because of my mom's Papusa stand, which by the way, I mentioned this already, I think earlier in the week. But it was around this time of day. We were talking about the Papusa stand a few, like last week. And I immediately had to order papuces on Uber Eats. I immediately went on and ordered papuces to be delivered immediately after the show. And they were tremendous. Really?
Starting point is 02:00:54 I had never had them before. I don't know how to describe. They're kind of like corn sort of like they're not like tortillas. They're like thicker. And they're kind of on both sides, almost like a sandwich. And in the middle I got like cheese and jalapenos. Oh my, it was incredible, Jeff. Like I was available to view you eating this on your YouTube channel.
Starting point is 02:01:10 No, I didn't want to eat in front of people on the YouTube. but I did want to give the full food review. If you're, let's put it this way. If you're in a gang currently and you're looking to harass a particular type of business, papuses might be a good target because you might get free papuses and they're delicious. And they're like $4, Jeffie. Oh, that's not bad. This is an incredible value.
Starting point is 02:01:30 That's not bad. I don't know how we're just discovering this. Most of the country maybe has discovered it, but I just did. So I'm all in on papuses. So he, you know, is saying he wants to stay here. we're like, okay, you need to, this is crazy. Like you're, you're, right. It's time for, for you to leave.
Starting point is 02:01:47 We want to get, uh, we send him out of there. And as all this is going back and forth, the Democrats kind of adopt him as a mascot, right? This, this MS 13, uh, alleged member, a guy who has all these things going on there, are highly questionable his life, certainly seem to have lied to the American government to stay here. But he's got a wife and kids. He becomes Maryland father, not an MS-13 member, Maryland. father every time you hear Maryland father, Maryland, Maryland man, a Maryland father. This is the nicest guy in the world, apparently. And the left adopts him as this sort of like cause-seleb
Starting point is 02:02:22 mascot. In the middle of all this, an accusation comes out that apparently his wife, because he's just a father and a husband, apparently had filed for a restraining order against him based on domestic violence. Now, normally, that doesn't mean. It means you lose your mascot status, but not with the left. They're going to keep adopting. She took it away anyway. Yeah. It never was. It never did go fully to effect. And now her reasoning is this. In 2021, she filed a protective order against her husband alleging domestic violence. In a statement last week, however, she said she did so, quote, in case things escalated, end quote, adding that they never did. So there you go. There you go. You're good. Now, I don't know how many times, Jeffie, I know you've been on the wrong side of many
Starting point is 02:03:07 restraining orders over the years. I don't know how many of them were preemptive. But apparently that's a thing. It is a thing. It is a thing. So there we go. A lot of people are happy about it. I'll tell you that. Yeah, she also said, well, he's alive and that's good.
Starting point is 02:03:23 I'm sure that is good. It is good. All right, AAA 727BECK is the phone number. There comes a moment in every adult's life when you realize pain is no longer an occasional visitor. It's just kind of part of the team. And you wake up maybe sore from everything, from sleeping. You pull something in your neck just trying to look. look at a cloud. It gets kind of pathetic. You walk into your kitchen. Your knee clicks twice.
Starting point is 02:03:46 Jeffie, how many times is your knee click when you take a walk into the kitchen? Every day. Every day. Every day over and over and over again. If this kind of sounds familiar, relief factor is something you need to know about. It's not a drug. It's a daily supplement. It's developed by doctors and it targets pain caused by inflammation. The kind that shows up uninvited and overstays it's welcome. Inflammation is responsible for most of the pain that we feel in our daily lives.
