The Glenn Beck Program - The Death of DEI on Day One: America Is BACK | 1/22/25

Episode Date: January 22, 2025

Glenn and Stu are amazed at the number of good things to report, but the media is doing everything possible to ruin it. Glenn reads a hit piece published by the New York Times that claims Pete Hegseth...'s ex-wife was abused, despite his ex-wife outright denying the accusations. Glenn looks at the good things Trump is doing, including the ending of DEI all throughout the government, the American flag being the only flag allowed to be flown at our foreign embassies, and the FACE Act possibly being repealed through Congress. Glenn explains why Trump's historic political comeback cannot be dismissed as a "fluke." Is it time to end some of the presidential traditions, like attending service at the National Cathedral? Glenn and Stu further discuss the fundamental changes happening, including repealing more government policies like Biden's horrific energy policies and the border having an outflow of immigrants. Mexico isn't on board with Trump's plan to call it the Gulf of America. One of Trump's pardons was for Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, who was facing multiple life sentences.

Starting point is 00:02:33 doing a lot of work. Really, really good work. thanks to the new administration stepping in. But the battle is always uphill. Yesterday, I was talking to Glenn Story who runs Patriot Mobile. My gosh, these people are good. I mean, we spent the time flying back from Washington, D.C. to Dallas. And I don't think there was any part of the conversation that wasn't about God and country. These people passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms,

Patriotmobile.com slash back. All right. Hello, Stu. Glenn. Your take on today's show and the feeling of the country is fascinating and kind of where I am right now too.
Starting point is 00:03:54 It's like it feels weird coming in and not having 46 bad stories to tell everybody in America. I don't know how to tell people this. Yeah, this sucks. This is how it's going to ruin your life. Like it's not. There's a lot of good things today. A lot. Like a lot of really good things.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Now it's day one. We should be clear. And they're going to do everything they can to try to reverse this and make all of our lives miserable. But hey, you know, I don't know how long this lasts, hopefully for four years, hopefully for eight, maybe 12. Yeah. Let me just get the one dark thing out. And this should piss off everybody. and all you have to do is call your congressman and your senators.
Starting point is 00:04:40 The New York Times, to say that they are journalists, is like saying, you know, a Christmas carol is a true story of Christmas. They are not journalists. They are not printing facts. This is a propaganda machine, and they know these are not. facts. Let me give you the latest.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Julie Turskin, Sarah Fitzpatrick, and Courtney Cube have all worked together on a story that just came out about Daniel Hegseth. Now, who's Danielle Hegseth? Well, that is Pete's
Starting point is 00:05:24 former sister-in-law. So she's right there. Okay? She's a former sister-in-law. And according to these, quote, reporters. Danielle says, oh, you don't even know.
Starting point is 00:05:40 You don't even begin. Pede was involved in behavior that caused his second wife to fear for her safety. And she describes in an affidavit allegations of volatile and threatening conduct by Hegsseth that made his second wife, Samantha, fear for her safety. Now I want you to know. Samantha denies all of this. Samantha was fearing for her safety. Okay, I was there.
Starting point is 00:06:12 I saw it kind of, not really, but I saw it. Ninth paragraph in. Ninth paragraph in, they report something that should probably be in the headline. Samantha's response to Danielle's allegations, she says first, I never asked anyone to share or speak about the details of my marriage on my behalf. She wrote a letter to Danielle and said, please stop speaking on my behalf. Your information is not accurate, and I have Ced my lawyer. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:58 There was no, quoting, there was no physical abuse in my marriage. This is the only further statement I will make to you. I have to let you know that I am not speaking and will not speak on my marriage to Pete. Please respect this decision. But that's not good enough for the New York Times. No, the person who is allegedly, allegedly abused in their marriage, who says, I wasn't abused and please stop speaking for me. me, I've contacted my attorney to make it stop.
Starting point is 00:07:34 No, you don't believe that person. You believe the far left Democrat who's no longer part of the family. You believe that person. Now, if that's not damning enough, several paragraphs past the ninth paragraph, they report both Pete Heggseth and Samantha Heggseth signed a 2020. court document that said neither parent claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse. So in a court of law, they both signed a legally binding document that said, yeah, that's not what this is about.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Kind of important. Now, what the New York Times would have you believe is that Pete, the abused wife, and everybody else involved in this marriage and the disillusion of this marriage, including the attorneys and the judge, they're all lying to you. They're all lying to you. It's just Danielle that is telling the truth. This is, I think, the clearest way that the media executes their plan of bias. Yes. Right. It's who they decide to take the word. Yes. Who's exactly right. You know, it's like we have had accusers against Doug
Starting point is 00:08:54 Emhoff, right, for physical abuse. No, no time for them at all. No, no. They didn't even mention them if they were mentioned at all. It was to dismiss their claims. And that was the person who actually was supposedly hit in the face. Right. In front of witnesses. Yep. No, no time for them at all. None. You know, women who claim to be raped by Bill Clinton. Joe Biden. Rape by Joe Biden. They don't have time for any of these people.
Starting point is 00:09:18 No. But if some rant, you know, not even the person. The person is saying it didn't happen. Right. Another person who is an X of an X of an X comes out and says, yeah, this is really bad stuff. It gets a whole giant news treatment from the New York Times, as if it's a credible assessment. It's pathetic. You try to go to court against the United States government on things that they're doing,
Starting point is 00:09:43 and you will be deemed not having standing, meaning it's not really affecting you. it's not about you how many times have you heard this was rejected because you didn't have standing you hear that all the time and the government just steam rolls over people this woman does not have standing she wasn't there
Starting point is 00:10:04 that's not her everybody else who is under oath is denying what she said do I need to remind you of Kavanaugh these people have one mode one that's it this is why the left can never actually gain rule.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Now they just did and you saw what happened. What was happening to our country? They were destroying it. Why? Forget all of the philosophical reasons. The real reason is that's all they can do. They cannot build. They can't actually create anything.
Starting point is 00:10:46 They only destroy. So what are they doing? They're not actually creating anything. They're not actually doing anything. They're just destroying. Now they're destroying Pete Hegseth and his ex-wife. Because what are they doing? They're not only saying he's an abuser.
Starting point is 00:11:05 They're saying she's a pathetic woman. These are the people standing up for women. She's a pathetic woman who just doesn't have the courage to stand up against this brute. Are you kidding me? And they can tell that story over and over again. They can tell it exactly on partisan lines the same way over and over again. They never have to admit it. They never have to come to some come to Jesus moment where they say, gosh, we've been doing this wrong the whole time.
Starting point is 00:11:31 And you know what? When it comes to the success of the conservative movement in America, good. It's probably the reason why Trump won. It's probably the reason why these things are happening today because they have been so terrible for so long that it finally woke up a bunch of people who don't. don't even believe in conservative principles. And I tell you, what Trump is doing this week, it is going to backfire on the left like crazy. People are not against the deportation of illegals. No, it's quite popular, actually.
Starting point is 00:12:05 It's, in polling. I mean, what is the most popular policy in America? What is it voting, the checks on voting, right? You're like, voter ID is one of the most popular. And how, what is the, what is the, you remember? Mid to high 80s. When it comes to high 80s, this is in the 70s, I believe, with the conservatives
Starting point is 00:12:25 and like 68% approval with the left, right? With Democrats. Yeah. I don't know if it's that high with the left. Overall, it might be that high, though. Okay. I mean, it is. It's high.
Starting point is 00:12:37 It's popular. And well over 50% for the Democrats, well over 50%. Well over 50%. This is not unpopular. And these guys trying to thwart our safety. I mean, you're going to now block the CIA, the guy who's going in to lead the CIA. You're blocking the appointment for Homeland Security. This is not going to end well for you, Democrats.
Starting point is 00:13:03 It's not. Your time is over. You lost. Reasonable Democrats, absolutely. Come on in. But those who are leftists, those who only see. to destroy what has been built? Those who want to change and throw out policies that haven't been working, come on, join us. As long as you want to save the things that have been working or the
Starting point is 00:13:32 things that are our mission statement and say, you know what, we've never really made it to all men are created equal and down by their creator with certain inalienable rights and all of the Bill of Rights. We are striving to build a more perfect nation, meaning we're never going to make it, we always have to strive to be better. You understand that concept as a Democrat? Come on in. Let's strive to be better without throwing out the baby. But for those of you who are just obstructing, your time and days are numbered. It's over. Read the room. Back in just a second. First, Let me tell you about Lear Capital. My gosh, so much is happening.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Did you hear what Donald Trump talked about when it came to TikTok? He said, and I don't know how this is going to happen. I don't even know if it can, but he was talking about TikTok, and he said, TikTok's value goes to zero if it's shut off in America. So who's going to buy it? Now, I still think somebody should buy it, but I also think because we protect it, we should get half of it. He said it's probably worth a trillion dollars.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Why aren't we getting half of it? Now, it kind of sounds like a public-private partnership unless it's just a giant tax on TikTok, which I'm all for. I'm all for. It's the Chinese government. Go for it. He's making some really bold moves
Starting point is 00:15:02 that might be able in the end to save the dollar if we can get these things through. But I'll tell you, investing Haven is now predicting that silver is going to test its former all-time high of $50 an ounce. Gold is not going anywhere. I mean, down. It's going up. There is still the reality that the damage we have done to the U.S.
Starting point is 00:15:27 dollar is too great to overcome. Now, silver is something that is used by industry. And they're now saying that it's going to go over its all-time high of $50 an ounce, moving all the way to $77 an ounce. That's in the next couple of years. That's from Investing Haven. I don't know what it's going to do, but I know this. I would have some of my life savings in gold or silver.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I think it's so important. And the people to call Lear Capital, call them today. $800, 957 gold. Be a part of building the new chapter of America. Have some wealth to do it by protecting what you've saved. $800, 957 gold. 957 gold 10 seconds station ID. Man, there are so many great things that are happening today.
Starting point is 00:16:26 We're just going to spend the time going over them. Also, I would like to put your phone call in if you have something to say over this week. 8 at 8-727, B-E-C-K. 8-8-8-7-27 B-E-C. Also, let me tell you tonight at 9 p.m. On the Glen Beck Wednesday night, special on Blaze TV. the president has been talking a lot about Greenland and the Panama Canal. Critics are ridiculing Donald Trump about the Greenland thing and saying that we're going to invade Greenland.
Starting point is 00:17:00 And then they just don't even understand the Panama Canal. He's just power hungry. No, no. This is strategic maneuvering to counter Chinese and Russia ambitions, both places, Greenland and the Panama Canal. I'm going to explain to you what's at stake in these two things and why the president is right about these. I'll take you through the history, which is the key to understanding the Trump administration's ambitions for both regions that are vital to protect America from our biggest enemies. All part of the growing struggle to protect America's economic and national security. Join me tonight.
Starting point is 00:17:39 The real reason Trump wants Greenland and the Panama Canal. That's tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern. this is going to be a very large battle. And by saying that, I don't mean a military battle. Well, Panama could. But it is going to be, it's strategically important for us. So if you want to be on the cutting edge and be able to explain this to your friends, join me tonight, the real reason Trump wants Greenland and the Panama Canal.

You know, we promised all these good things.
Starting point is 00:18:37 And so far all we've done us complain about the media and the one bad thing that's going on. I know, I know. Well, I wanted to get that out of the way. Out of the way. Out of the way. Now it's gone. Oh, my gosh. Now there's good things to talk about.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I am looking through. I don't even know where to begin. I mean, let's just, let's start at some little things. The Trump administration has ordered all federal employees in DE offices to be placed on paid leave and shut DEI down. Gosh, darn it. The Office of Personal Management, the government's top human resources agency, notified all federal department heads in a memo. DEI programs must be notified by 5 p.m. today. Their administrative leave is effective immediately. Also, all outward facing media, such as web pages and social media accounts, focused on DEI programs, all gone by 5 p.m. today.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Cancel all employee diversity trainings, terminate any DEI-related contracts by 5 p.m. today. Also, OPM, let's listen to this. they are asking all agency heads to ask employees if they know of any efforts to disguise DEI programs with coded or imprecise language and report their findings back by January 31st. And any employee caught trying to skirt this, they will have, quote, adverse consequences. I would like them to, I would like it just to be, no, you're going to be fired. But I guess adverse consequences could mean more than fired. I like this too, because this is the Thomas Sowell book, Thinking Beyond Stage 1. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:30 That's what you have going on here. They know what they're going to try with DEI. They're going to try to change the language. They're going to try to hide it with imprecise things. They're going to do all that. They're already looking for what the response. will be to all this, which is really, really positive. If anyone doesn't think Donald Trump was prepared, look at just this week.
Starting point is 00:20:51 You've never seen anything like this. I've never seen it. Right? Whether you like it or not, you have to admit he's coming in here with a real plan and attempting to execute it quickly in an overwhelming way. I, you know, tend to like a lot of the stuff he's doing. But even if you, even if you look at this, because we've looked at this from the other side with a sort of like admiration in a way, like an annoyed and admiration of what the left has done.
Starting point is 00:21:20 They've built things. They prepared for moments. They had things ready to go. They've done. That's what this feels like. Yeah. I will tell you that I was talked to somebody who was in on the planning yesterday. And they said that President Trump made a list of every campaign promise that he made.
Starting point is 00:21:39 He asked for everybody. Remember what I said. Put it on a list. He made the list too. And he is really checking it twice and marking them off. When they do them, he is determined to keep every campaign promise. So you want to know left what he's going to do. Take him at his word.
Starting point is 00:21:58 And to be clear, they attempted to do this. Steve Bannon did the same thing in the first administration. He came in with a big list. He had it. You know, it's been well covered. It just didn't get a lot of it done. They didn't know what they were doing. I mean, this time they do.
Starting point is 00:22:10 They know. This time they do. Wait until you hear what they've done just yesterday. And what's coming today. Next. This is Glenn Beck. So the burner launcher was started and designed by the guy who designed it is a guy who was in on the freeway. And somebody had road rage.
Starting point is 00:22:42 and they were following him and, you know, trying to race him and everything else. And it was, he was really disturbed. And he tried. He went over to the slow lane, slowed way down. The guy did the same thing. So he decided, I'm just going to pull over. The guy's not going to pull over. He'll just pass me.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Well, when he pulled over, so did the other guy. And the other guy just flew out of his car. And he looks in his rearview mirror and he says, oh, my gosh, this guy's coming at me. He reached to his glove box and almost pulled out his gun, decided not to, decided to, de-escalate the situation, and he walked out, and he was beaten on the side of the street within an inch of his life. And he said, I'm not going to shoot somebody for road rage. You know, I'm just not. He said I would, but I would have pulled the gun if I had to do it over again, but I don't want to kill somebody for it. So he created the burn a launcher, which would have stopped that from happening,
Starting point is 00:23:36 have one of these. And in honor of inauguration week, they put together a custom curated bundle, discounted 15% off right now. Get it right now. Burna.com slash glen. BYRNA.com slash glen. And it's Blaze 47.com. Check it out. Use the code 47.
Starting point is 00:23:55 According to the Blaze today, the new chairman of the FCC, who I love Chairman Brendan Carr, has announced the end of all diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at the FCC. He said, He was erasing DEI as a priority of the Commission's strategic plan. He said he would end DEI Advisory Group at the FCC and any mention of DEI in the Commission's budget. Also, DEI will be excised from the performance reports at the FCC as well as all economic plans.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Amen. Now, let's go to Trump ending affirmative action for federal contractors and universities. He's just signed an executive order rescinding Lyndon Johnson's executive order of 11246, which established affirmative action and bans all federal contractors and publicly funded universities from practicing race-based discrimination, including DEI. This is a massive shift that came under Lyndon Johnson. These guys, thank God, they are going for the wrong. roots of these problems. This is not somebody that is just, you know, cutting the hedges.
Starting point is 00:25:29 These guys are going down into the soil and pulling it up by its roots. The Coast Guard, as soon as he took his oath of office, just within hours, the head of the Coast Guard was relieved of command. The commandant of the Coast Guard, Admiral Linda Faye. Um, apparently Department of Homeland Security first reported her ouster a minute after midnight on Tuesday. She was fired and told she was going to be fired right after he was sworn in. Leftist outlets and everybody else is like, oh, you can't do that. She's the first female leader of a military service. Yeah, and she sucked.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Okay. She sucked. She didn't address any of the threats of border security. she didn't hit any of her recruitment or retention goals. She did not adequately equipped the Coast Guard stations in the Arctic. Why do you think we're going for Greenland? Because China and Russia are coming over the pole into the Arctic, and she didn't protect that.
Starting point is 00:26:44 She also mishandled the Operation Fouled Anchor, which was an investigation into the cover-up of sexual miscar. conduct at the Coast Guard Academy and excessive focus on DEI. She said one of her famous quotes, something like, our diversity is our strength. Our diversity only makes us stronger. Does it? Does it or does our unity make us stronger? We can be diverse, but not in everything, not in everything.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Like to be diverse in thought, but not on principles. What do you think? And I don't care about your skin color. Nobody does. Stop it. Now let's see. What else? Republicans, I love this.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Chip Roy. Thank you. Is making a move to repeal the Face Act. He said, and Mike Lee is about to introduce it in the Senate. It's got to get past the House and then he'll pick it up in the Senate. their case is you don't need the face act. There is no constitutional right to abortion. So what constitutional right are they enforcing?
Starting point is 00:28:03 None. You don't have that right. And you certainly have the right of speaking your mind, gathering and protesting as long as it's lawful and you're not, you know, doing anything, breaking the law and harassing people, but you certainly can gather. And so they now want to take the Face Act and get rid of it. Do you know what that would mean?
Starting point is 00:28:31 You know how great that is? And it's happening through Congress and the Senate. So they're hitting on all fronts so far. The Trump administration told all of the State Department, through Marco Rubio, all of the State Department, every embassy, you are no longer allowed to fly the LGBT Pride or BLM flags at the embassies. You can fly the P-O-W flag, but that's it. It's the flag of the United States of America,
Starting point is 00:29:03 and that's the only other flag you're allowed to fly is P-O-W. I think that's fantastic. I mean, we're in countries now where they do not want to hear the preaching from the United States of America, especially in places like Africa. Uh-uh. They don't want to hear that. Just common sense.
Starting point is 00:29:25 You know, it's not, even if you completely support every one of those causes, why on earth would be hanging the flag of them in our foreign embassies? Right. It makes no sense. It's an American political issue. What does that have to do with this? So Marco Rubio issued the statement, starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in U.S. government content.
Starting point is 00:29:56 So, in other words, you can't put any of those markings now on any of our websites. The flag of the United States of America united all Americans under the universal principle of justice, liberty, and democracy. These values are the bedrock of our great country and are shared by all American citizens past and present. The U.S. flag is a powerful symbol of pride, and it is fitting and respectful that only the U.S. flag be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities both domestically and abroad. Anyone who transgresses this new policy will face disciplinary action, including termination of employment, contract, or reassignment to their home agency. Now, this stands in Lincoln said that for May and June, the Rainforest's, the rainstorms. flag had to be flown at all U.S. embassies all around the world for Pride Month. Wait, May and June?
Starting point is 00:30:51 Yeah, May. He announced this on May 17th, which is the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia. Of course it is, obviously, Glenn. We all know. December 25th and May 17th. They know the big holidays. Right. And so they have that May 17th.
Starting point is 00:31:07 And he's like, just put it up on May 17th. And then it just don't take it down until the end of June. So now you get a month and a half. Month and a half. Month and a half. Right. So that's not going to happen anymore. Let me show you how deep this is going.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Donald Trump, remember, is a real estate guy. He's also a builder. And somebody in this administration understands Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson said, if you want your society and your civilization to live on, You must embed its values in its architecture. Okay. Well, ugly, brutalist and Soviet-style architecture is everywhere.
Starting point is 00:31:57 If you've gone to Washington, D.C., there's some beautiful architecture, and then there's all that ugly new architecture that just means nothing. It's just brutalist. Donald Trump has just issued another executive order. on his first day, asking the heads of departments to provide recommendations on how to advance the cause of an architectural renaissance in America that would see all the federal buildings prioritize beauty over anti-traditional hangups or egos of radicals. Toward the end of his first term, he issued an executive order mandating that new federal
Starting point is 00:32:36 buildings should not only be designed to serve the American people, but should be designed to uplift and beautify public spaces, inspire the human spirit, ennoble the United States, command respect from the general public, and as appropriate, respect the architectural heritage of the regions of the United States.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Joe Biden immediately canceled that. I mean, you know, we are having architect fights now. And so they have now taken, you know, the design, the J. Edgar Hoover building is a really good, example of this, just ugly and meaningless. And so they rescinded Trump's order and they started to put into place all of these,
Starting point is 00:33:20 you know, new plans for new buildings. And Trump just stopped that and said, sorry, we are not going to build ugly buildings anymore. A mean nothing and they're Soviet in style. It's not happening. That's how deep this is going. That's how well thought out this is. that's something that's been important to him for a long time. Oh.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Because he does like a little bit of that ceremony, right? He likes, he wants, he's talked about big parades, this festival coming up or whatever it is, celebration of our, in 2026 is a big one that he's talking about. You know, this has been important to him for a while. And again, like, it's a great illustration of how well this stuff has been thought out.
Starting point is 00:34:04 It should be important to all of us. You know, I lived through the bicentennial. I remember it. Yeah. That bicentennial stuff, it was out by, you know, 1972. We knew the logo. You remember that red, white, and blue star logo, that rounded star logo? I don't know if you're old enough to remember it.
Starting point is 00:34:22 That was born. I'm a bicentennial baby, Glenn. Oh, okay. So my mom, you said, but it was out. Congratulations. That's icky. Let's talk about your mom creating you. That's when I was born, not conceived weird.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Well, anyway. She didn't tell me, hey, by the way, oh, it was a wonderful night. Let me tell you all about it. That wasn't part of the analysis. Oh, I got to tell you, sometimes when the kids get really out of control, I start down that road. They shut up really quickly. I bet they do. They shut up really quickly and run.
Starting point is 00:34:54 But we had, I mean, by 1972, we were talking about the bicentennial. And it was a big buildup. Here we are 18 months away. Not even that. We're 15 months away from the. 250th birthday. There's no logo. There's nothing. There's nothing. There's a lot of plans out there.
Starting point is 00:35:13 But we haven't even started that. He believes in not being embarrassed by the United States. We talked about this yesterday with renaming Mount McKinley, Mount McKinley again. You know, exactly, he is the exact opposite of Michelle Obama.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Michelle Obama said, and Barack knows we're going to have to change our tradition. History. Or history. Do you have it? Go ahead. Play that again.
Starting point is 00:35:40 And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices. We're going to have to change our conversation. We're going to have to change our traditions, our history. We're going to have to move into a different place. He knows that. And he is systematically dismantling it. I'm telling you, this guy, if they can keep this going and with, the just the stupid attacks from the left and the media that is coming, he's going to be remembered
Starting point is 00:36:16 as an Abraham Lincoln. He is going to be a refounder of this country. And I for one am thrilled. Go back to the changes being made here in just in the last 24 hours coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

What makes a good real estate agent? I didn't. I started doing work with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal, and learned from them,

We've been talking a while about a crime called House stealing or home title fraud is one of those things where if you own a property, your title and all the hard-earned equity that you've built is at serious risk. This really fast-growing crime has been a very serious problem for property owners. A California district attorney recently stated that known title fraud attempts over the past year and a half has jumped from zero to almost 80. So how do these criminals do it? First, they find your home's title online, and then they print
Starting point is 00:38:41 out documents to transfer ownership. Then they forge your signature, file it with the local recorder's office, and they get ownership of your home transferred out of your name into theirs.

I have to tell you, I think this is one of the most exciting times to be alive in America right now. I mean, I think it would have been scary, you know, in the founding era, but it would have been incredible knowing that that change was coming. Same thing for probably more scary because of the number of people that died, the freedom of slaves and the Lincoln presidency. I think the industrial revolution, you know, the mid to late 1800s had to be incredible.
Starting point is 00:40:27 And I think right now, maybe the 1950s in some ways because we've found our strength, but it was filled with so many bad things. Right now with what Trump is doing, just in the last two days, if he keeps this up, this is a redesign and a reclaiming. and a refounding of America. The Golden Age is really here. And I just find it thrilling, absolutely thrilling. Wait until you hear.
Starting point is 00:40:59 I mean, we've got two more hours of stuff that he has done in the last, you know, 24, 36 hours that are incredible and everywhere and deep, deep, deep stuff. That's, you don't normally say things like that. And, you know, obviously there are the limitations we've discussed many times. on executive orders like, you know, God forbid some terrible, you know, Josh Shapiro or Pete Buttigieg become president in 2028. That stuff can be reversed. And that's why you have to work hard to get the stuff through Congress as well. But look, you know, we're still at the beginning of this. You know, it's a four-year term. And you can get a lot done in four years as we've just seen from Joe Biden. You know, I mean, to be fair to Joe Biden, who is an absolutely terrible president in every single
Starting point is 00:41:46 way unless you happen to be a hardcore progressive. And then I think you look at his presidency while disappointing because of the lack of reelection and the failure of what happened in the election, he got two terms of stuff done in that first term from a progressive perspective. Yes. So a lot of this is going to have to be reversed. There's a lot of work to do just to get us back to, you know, normal post-Barrac Obama presidency levels. Here's what is so exciting about this is he's not just cutting. He's building at the same time. And only the progressives have been doing that in a very well orchestrated and really well thought out way. For the first time in my life, we're doing that. And that's coming from a businessman who has done massive projects

We're going to go through a lot of the stuff that Donald Trump has done in the last 24 hours since we last met. And it's staggering what he has on his plate this week. And also the way things are beginning to change. People are beginning to view Donald Trump in a completely different light. And I'll explain here in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about relief factor sleep. If you're one of those people who sometimes have trouble sleeping are always.
Starting point is 00:45:40 have trouble sleeping. It's not as if you can snap your fingers and make it go away.

That's Relieffactor.com or call 1-800 for relief.
Starting point is 00:46:45 1-800 for relief. All right. Politico has a fascinating article today that I want to start the hour with. And it is from John Harris. He is the founding editor and global editor-in-chief of Politico. He says, Donald J. Trump, in his second inaugural address, was everything his supporters hoped he would be. breathtakingly expansive about his intention to reshape the vast federal government around his vision,
Starting point is 00:47:16 a raucously jingoistic in proclaiming that the country will do whatever it wants to do to advance its interests around the world, openly triumphal in asserting his belief that his survival from an assassination's bullet or from an assassin's bullet and his victory show that he is God's chosen instrument to lead an American revival. I don't think that's exactly what he said or how it came across to his supporters. It didn't with me, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here. I understand what he's trying to say is somebody who's never supported Donald Trump. Trump was also everything his adversaries feared. Nessianic in tone, lovingly protective of his grievances, wholly uncharitable to the people sitting just feet from him under the capital rotunda, who he defeated so convincingly.
Starting point is 00:48:06 but the second occasion of Trump taking the oath of office also put him in an entirely new light. For the first time, he is holding power under circumstances in which reasonable people cannot deny a basic fact. He is the greatest American figure of his era. Let's quickly exhale, he writes. Great in this context is not about a subjective debate over whether he is a singularly righteous leader or a singularly menacing one. It is now simply an objective description about the dimensions of his record. He began a decade ago by dominating the Republic Party. He soon advanced to dominating every discussion of American politics broadly. Now his astonishing comeback after his defeat by Joseph Biden in 2020
Starting point is 00:48:55 and the notoriety of January 6th riot makes it clear, there are certain things he is not, and one big thing he is. He is not a flu. He is not a flu. who got elected initially in 2016, almost entirely because of the infirmities of his opponent. That's not true. He is not someone. The American public somehow misunderstands as though Democrats and news media have not spent 10 years forcibly highlighting the risks of his record in character. He is someone with an ability to perceive opportunities that most politicians do not
Starting point is 00:49:33 and forge powerful, sustained connections with large swaths of people in ways that no contemporary can match. In other words, he is a force of history. This is something his most ardent supporters still shy of a national majority have never doubted, but something others, myself included, have been slow to reckon with. This is an article, by the way, from the Global Editor-in-Chief of Politico. The inaugural address and a raft of hundreds of executive orders Trump has promised for his opening days in office make it impossible to avoid. For Democrats and most excruciatingly, Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris, the inaugural ceremony and all it symbolizes, were a meal made of ingredients scraped off the kennel floor. Once they gargle and spit, however, the opposition party may find something liberating about this moment.
Starting point is 00:50:29 that is because they can no longer place confidence in a strategy that once looked plausible, but has now been exposed as an illusion. That's a massive statement. They cannot push Trump to the margins by treating him as a momentary anomaly or simply denouncing him as a lawless or illegitimate president. Some voters bought that, but not enough to win the election. Opponents have no choice but to acknowledge he and his movement represent a large historic argument. And then they rally similarly large arguments to defeat it. Trump in 2020 showed himself ready to undermine democracy for his own purposes.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Trump in 2024 showed that he is also a potent expression of democracy. The most flamboyant rhetoric of Donald Trump's inaugural address, Drill Baby Drill, retaking the Panama Canal, renaming Gulf of Mexico. the Gulf of America, sending federal troops to the border all expressions of his genuine worldview. Thank you for acknowledging at least just that. I can't tell you how many times I heard CNN in the last couple of days say he doesn't believe any of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:51:44 He absolutely believes all of this stuff. What part of this is giving you any indication he doesn't believe this? And how, explain to me exactly how both he doesn't believe any of it and he's a Nazi. Yeah. Like, from what I understand, Hitler had some pretty strong beliefs. Jeez. That leaves plenty of room for argument. Trump has transcended his vulnerability to criminal penalties for January 6th.
Starting point is 00:52:11 It is not possible for him to transcend a genuine contest over competing visions of the better America. The contest may be more effective if opponents embrace the reality that Trump has already demonstrated some familiar signatures of the most consequential presidents. Like influential predecessors, his arguments have shifted the terms of debate in ways that echo within both parties. In this case, on issues such as trade, China, and the role of big corporations. Like other large presidents, Trump has been communications in innovator and exploited technological shifts more effectively than his rivals. In that sense, Trump's use of social media recalls Franklin D. Roosevelt's mastery of radio, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan's mastery of television, and even as his banter and insults, don't aspire to anything like traditional president's eloquence. One more signature shown, the most consequential presidents only.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Uncommon psychological toughness. Have you ever known anyone who is facing similar legal hurdles? In many cases, even if people ultimately win the case, they end up being consumed and shrunken by the searing nature of the exception. Now listen to that. The same guy who's making the case that he's, you know, he's, he can't shake his, his grievances is saying in many cases, even if people ultimately win the case, they be, they end up being consumed and shrunken by the searing nature of that experience. So he's recognizing what he just went through.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Imagine running for president amid, amid huge civil suits, criminal prosecutions, even felony convictions then emerging from the morass as a larger figure than before. No one needs to admire the achievement to recognize that Trump is possessed by some rare traits of denial, combativeness, and resilience. About that combativeness, could someone so zealously divisive ever join the roster of presidents who even schoolchildren can typically recite as the nation's greatest? my mind goes back to a conversation just before Bill Clinton in his second term. The liberal historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., he had inherited a tradition from his father, also renowned scholar, conducting surveys of historians asking him to rank American presidents from best to worse.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Clinton was promising in his second term to be a great national unifier. Schlesinger, who wished greatness for Clinton, but mistrusted his ideological centrism, was skeptical. Great presidents are unifiers mostly in retrospect. Of course. Because he is changing things. He is trying to bring people along.
Starting point is 00:55:01 FDR said, I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made. That is the same thing. Aren't we judging Donald Trump a lot on the enemies that he has made? Now we're starting to see him
Starting point is 00:55:16 and do things that you're like, okay, he understands the enemies, but more importantly, he understands what the enemies have done to our country and can stop those and what we need to do to build a more unified and better country to form a more perfect union. I'm telling you, I said this to him, and I even said, I can't believe I'm saying this to you. but if you accomplish these things, you will be on the
Starting point is 00:55:49 same ground as some of our founders and Abraham Lincoln and the greatest presidents to ever live. He is going to do more in fundamental transformation of this country than Barack Obama did by far than Joe Biden did in destroying it. I hope that's a high bar. That's a very high bar.
Starting point is 00:56:11 But he is, you know, he said, in the church yesterday and just took that sermon. Nobody should be surprised by that sermon. That's an Episcopal church. Hello. And did you see how she walked out? I mean, she was practically a rainbow in her shoes were pots of gold. I mean, she was, she's clear in her stance just the way she was dressed as a high priestess. And then on top of that, this is the, National Cathedral. The National Cathedral is practically an un-American cathedral. I mean, it does not rejoice in anything except progressivism. It's the burial site, literally inside the church,
Starting point is 00:57:02 are the bones of Woodrow Wilson. So, I mean, nobody should be surprised. And if this is being done for tradition, it's the opposite of hallowed ground. Yes, it is. It's like a, it's like a Poltergeist House. Right. It's it's hallowed ground for progressivism. Okay. So for for him to go into the National Cathedral, that's that is tradition. Well, you know what? It's time to end some of those traditions because some of those traditions are bad traditions. Unlike just saying all American traditions should be abandoned like Barack Obama, he should look at each each tradition and say, you know, why would I go to the National Cathedral? The National Cathedral. The National Cathedral, stands against most of the things that Americans are for.
Starting point is 00:57:48 I'm not going there. I'm going to go to another church to celebrate this occasion. Not that one. It'll be interesting to see how he responds to this in a bigger picture because what my perception is right now is Trump 2.0, the second administration, is more to that side. You know what? We're done with that tradition. We're done with that whole thing.
Starting point is 00:58:11 we're going in this direction, then what I think he would have been in 2017 where he, now he did put up a message about her, kind of an angry sort of truth. Well, it wasn't speaking truth to power. It was absolutely an act of fame.
Starting point is 00:58:30 It was somebody who was selfish. With this person. Yeah. That just wanted fame. You're not going to change his mind. But like, I really hope he doesn't let this stuff bother him. This is the type of stuff that like,
Starting point is 00:58:40 you know, have aided. It would have, I think he would have been, it would have been a week of just bashing this woman and she is nothing. Forget her and move on. Yeah. With the exception of, you know what, maybe this is, why would, why do we go there? You know, he did that in the first term with the press, the correspondence dinner, right?
Starting point is 00:59:00 He's like, no, I'm not going to that. It's stupid. Yeah. And like, that's the type of stuff he should do. But don't let that, don't let crap like that because it's going to happen to him throughout his four years. Don't let that derail you. I'd like to know why.
Starting point is 00:59:11 the Washington, the White House press corps even exists. The White House, you know, it's the White House press corps that does the dinner and they decide who gets the seats and what the rules are. Why? Why, who the hell are they? Yeah. Well, I mean, and we've seen, you know, we saw that with the debate commission, right? Correct.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Who the hell are they? When Biden was like, I don't want to do it that way. Right. And he didn't. You know, he probably should have. Probably should have stuck by that one. But, you know, I remember this in the country. Kamala debate with Trump where, you know, really her only maybe successful point of the entire campaign
Starting point is 00:59:46 was to goad him on the crowd size of his first inauguration, right? To, to taunt him to try to get him off track. And it seems to me that he is really mostly beyond that. I mean, it's obviously tempting. I mean, it's like the person, you know, I'm in this situation. I know you are too, Glenn. You hop on social media. You know the dumbest thing you can do with. your day is fight with idiots online. You know it. Then you read a comment and you're like, oh, come on. I know.
Starting point is 01:00:19 And you type it and hopefully you don't click send. But like it's just this stupid thing that we do as human beings. It's got to be a hundred times worse for Trump to have to deal with it. I kicked myself for posting about CNN because it's like nobody's watching it. There's like four people that are watching it. It doesn't matter. And three of those are cameramen. And the fourth and fifth cameramen aren't.
Starting point is 01:00:41 watching it as they're filming it on camera. And we knew those cameramen. They weren't always excited about what was going on there either. No, they were not. I got to tell you, it is, I did the same thing. I'm like, and I just blew up and I went live on X or wherever I went and said a few things about CNN. It's so beneath us.
Starting point is 01:01:04 It just doesn't need to be said. It just doesn't need to be said. It doesn't need to be said. And we are morons who have plenty of time to waste. He's the president in the United States. Look, I'm an alcoholic. I'm a former DJ. Those are my qualifications for this job.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Okay? Don't bitch it what you get. Those were the qualifications. All right. Back in just a second. Let me tell you a little bit about Simply safe. Imagine leaving your house every day going to work, not worrying it that somebody's going to break in and rob you blind.

But, uh, Nothing is worth it going to Washington anymore. But what a week it has been to see the transformation of not only our policies happening so rapidly, but the transformation in Donald Trump. I mean, Donald Trump is not the same president we had as 45. That one was fun to watch. That one made a lot of difference. This one is fundamentally changing everything, everything.
Starting point is 01:08:00 And it is amazing to watch. I just hope he's going to show mercy to the LGBTQIA2 Plus community. Oh, yeah. Have we heard about that yet? Does he have official executive order on that yet? Do you have, what was her name? Marion Edgar Buddy. Booty.
Starting point is 01:08:16 Booty. I think it's booty, as in she has a nice booty. I don't think that's. I think so. I think it's Pastor Booty or Priestess Booty. Priestess Booty? I think that's what, I think that's how, you know, that's, in fact, that's is way I believe everyone should pronounce it.
Starting point is 01:08:33 Booty. Yeah, just remember she's got a nice booty. I don't even know. I haven't seen her booty, so I don't know. You can see it. Would you be interested in seeing it? Not really. Well, you can see it on, shockingly, the view where she's going to be host going on today.
Starting point is 01:08:48 Wow, that is amazing. They're going to have somebody who's anti-Trump? Yeah, I don't know where they came up with an idea like that. My guess is they probably already had her booked before that. Yeah. It's like, let's get a random priestess to come on this. show. And she is, and I think it's important to call her a priestess because she is a high priestess of the new religion. Yes. Yeah. So she is preaching that religion. And, uh, and preach on sister booty.
Starting point is 01:09:13 This is like, you know, they, they just come up with these fig. Uh-huh. These figures that they like, like Mary Trump was like this. She was going to make a big difference. Remember her? Yeah. Oh, she's got the last name Trump. Yeah. And she's saying bad things about Trump. She's now our biggest celebrity. What about the guy? Remember the guy? Remember the guy. who was Stormy Daniel's lawyer. Remember? Can't? I am proud to say can't even remember his name.
Starting point is 01:09:37 I can't even have a guess. I can't even have a guess. Can I look that up real quick? See who that is? Because remember he was going to run for president? Is he a presidential contender? Now he's in prison. And Donald Trump is not.
Starting point is 01:09:54 No. No. Anyone got that? Yeah. No, she's. BJ's just looking at it. He's not even trying. High priestess booty is.
Starting point is 01:10:02 Just staring blankly at his computer. What's his name? Michael Avanotti is the name. Michael Avanotti. Remember this guy? Oh, yeah. He was like the hero of the left for like three weeks. And then they started, you get really popular.
Starting point is 01:10:16 They were promoting him to be president. Every single time this happens. What was the lady? What's the name of the lady that he supposedly sexually assaulted at Bergdorffs? I am happy to say I don't even remember. I don't remember her name either. Gosh, what is it? this is terrible.
Starting point is 01:10:31 I mean, it's good. It's good as a human development, but I probably should remember it. But her too. Again, no, I think she's on to every show. She's a celebrity. She's someone you need to hear about because she said something bad about Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:10:44 Well, I have to tell you, Priestess Booty. I think everybody will remember her for her nice booty. You know what I mean? Because she's... I don't know. I think she wants to be upheld as a sex symbol.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Stu. I would not be surprised, frankly. Look at the way. she dressed while she was preaching. It was interesting, I guess. I don't know. Yeah, it's like pretty.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Really don't care. Really don't care. And just Donald Trump should just, you know, I really do think he should just calmly come out and say, we're not going to do anything else at the National Cathedral. When I die, and I know some people will celebrate this,
Starting point is 01:11:22 but I don't want to be, I don't want to be carried down the aisle right next to the bones of Woodrow Wilson. Not interested. Thank you very much. You can turn it into an office building or something. E. Jean Carroll, by the way. E. Jean Carroll is the one of we were talking about. I thought that's who wrote Alice in Wonderland.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Well, same kind of fiction. You're thinking of J.K. Rowling? No, no, no, no. No, it's a different. Yeah, you're thinking of Harry Styles. Sorry, sorry. This is a dumb thing we do off the air. I apologize for Derellings.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Okay. All right. Marco Rubio has told the diplomatic that he's ending the State Department programs that open the door to censorship. I think it does a little more than opening the door to censorship. I mean, just maybe a little bit. He said he's ending the agencies and programs of our own government that are engaged in censorship, suppression, and misinformation.
Starting point is 01:12:18 He is remaining on the lookout for enemy propaganda under his watch. Any programs that lead to or in any way open the door to censorship of the American people will be terminated. I am back to terminate. Then Trump, the DHS, has dissolved its advisory boards. Donald Trump, acting Homeland Security Chief, has ordered the dismantling of all department advisory boards to guard against the misuse of resources after Biden administration's disastrous attempt to create a Big Brother-style disinformation governance board. in a memo dispatch Monday evening, Benjamin Huffman mandated the termination of all current memberships on advisory committees with DHS effective immediately. Future committee activities will be focused solely on advancing our critical mission
Starting point is 01:13:11 to protect the homeland and support DHS strategic priorities. Biden administration was ripped for the spring of 2022, for coming up with their disinformation governance board. They said they got rid of it and then just a few, weeks after they were discontinued. They just renamed it something else. Donald Trump is all over this. All of these, all of these dictates now are all saying the same thing. And by the way, if anyone knows if it changed to a different name to hide, you tell us now. Otherwise, we're coming after you as well when we find out. And they will find out. They will find out. Trump also came out
Starting point is 01:13:55 with an AI declaration yesterday, which I found interesting. Let me see if I have this. It's cut two, please. Well, Mr. President, last month I came to celebrate your winning and promise that we would invest $100 billion. And you told me, oh, Masa, go for $200. Now I came back with 500. Because this is the, as you say yesterday,
Starting point is 01:14:32 this is the beginning of golden age of America. This is one great example, I think. Right? We wouldn't have decided to do this. I hope so or I think so. This is the beginning of golden age. We wouldn't have decided unless you won't. And yesterday,
Starting point is 01:14:52 We agree. We signed to make this happen. So that is the CEO, the soft bank group CEO from Japan, who is working now on AI infrastructure. And they're putting in $500 billion. It's incredible, $500 billion. Now, some people will look at this and say, I don't like this because he's working with Open AI and who is the other one that they're working with to build the AI infrastructure. And yes, that is true. You know, what this is going to do is create a lot of jobs to build, you know, extra power plants and server farms and everything else.
Starting point is 01:15:46 so we can do and really be the leader in the world of all of this stuff. And I don't like the government being involved in this. But what we had was the government saying to all of the industry of AI, forget about doing anything. We own all of it. And now Donald Trump is saying, well, we're going to help you build it because we have to lead in it, which is true. The days of good choices are over.
Starting point is 01:16:18 We have no good choices anymore when it comes to AI. There's nothing you can do to stop it. And there's nothing you can do to keep the bad guys from owning it. And I include that as the United States government and places even like OpenAI. I just don't trust any of them and any of the goals of theirs and goals of AI in the end. but this is probably the best out of the worst options that we have. There's something else that happened yesterday. Was yesterday?
Starting point is 01:16:53 Yeah, yesterday was Tuesday. This is how deep the president is going. The president is not only going to be speaking at Davos this week via satellite, one of the first to do that. And I can't wait to hear his message. I hope that it is very, very clear to that. organization, that we are independent and out of all of that nonsense. But he's not only going to do that this week. He is also, yesterday, his staff was on the ground in California, looking at
Starting point is 01:17:30 all of the damage and talking to all of the leaders in the community and the fire and the police to find out exactly what the president can do to help. So they were on the ground yesterday going through everything to prepare for his trip, as today, Wednesday, Friday. He's going to be Friday in California doing that. This guy is on all of it, all of it. And it's impressive to see, and maybe part of the excitement,
Starting point is 01:18:01 I don't think so, but maybe is part of the excitement, Stu, that the fact that he's not like, is that a medical diagnosis? Yeah, that's a medical diagnosis of our last president. Go, go, go on, good, go, ho. Yeah, I mean, again, he's not the youngest guy in the world, but man, it seems like a totally different person. And this idea was about age discrimination all of those years.
Starting point is 01:18:25 Yeah. And we talked about this yesterday. There is a real need for a deep investigation as to what happened the last couple of years with Biden in there. The fact that they were hiding this from the American people. It's treason. It really is treason. is treason. You cannot take the power
Starting point is 01:18:45 of the president without alerting everyone. He is the duly elected president of the United States. And you don't set up a cabal to keep people out of the loop. I want to see every text message,
Starting point is 01:19:01 every email, every WhatsApp message, every other messaging platform they decided to hide their messages on about what they were doing and what they really thought about this guy while it was happening. There has to be something done about this. We can't just be a country that's like okay with just turning off the executive branch's brain for multiple years. That's not okay.
Starting point is 01:19:27 Whether you like the guy's policies or not, whether you like what Susan Rice and Anthony Blinken were doing as president of the United States, they weren't elected for that role. So we need to really figure out what happened there and we need to know who was responsible for it and we need to know how to stop it for next time. All right. More in just a second. Man, last night I got home. I think my son may have changed our sheets.
Starting point is 01:19:52 I mean, getting ready for us to come home. It was like, what is, what the hell is? What do you want? What do you want? But anyway, I climbed into bed. Now I've had the cozy earth comforterer. I got it last week. And I honestly, it was like, I was petting.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I think the most important thing, and I hate to come in halfway through the show and drop this like a bomb on you. But I think the most important thing that we could talk about today is cut one.
Starting point is 01:22:14 Could we please play cut one? This is the Philadelphia mayor. E, L, G, S. Let's go birds. Yeah, she does that chant all the time, you can tell and can spell. Like, I am a Philadelphia Eagles fan. I do not, I do not defend the voting abilities of the people of Philadelphia. They don't vote well.
Starting point is 01:22:39 You know, they vote as if they're drunkenly celebrating an Eagles win. Yeah. And that's not the time to vote. That's the mayor. That's the mayor there. And she's not good. There is no A in Eagles. I just want you to know. There's what?
Starting point is 01:22:53 There is no A in Eagles, just like there is no I and team. There is no A and Eagles? E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles Could we play this again, please? Uh-huh Play it again, please. Okay, let's hear it.
Starting point is 01:23:10 E. Come on. It's E. Come on. It's E. G-G-G-E-G-S. O-G-S. E-L-G-S.
Starting point is 01:23:25 E-E-E-O. There is no A and Eagles. I think we need to know that. Okay, she has taught us. She has taught us. I was at the stadium in this last game. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:33 And one thing, that Philadelphia Eagles can do, no matter how inebriated they are, is spell that team's name. They know. Yeah. They say it often. I love it more than life itself. But anybody who is a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles can do basically at least one thing. And that's it.
Starting point is 01:23:53 Spell that name. Yeah, you can be in full-fledged blackout mode. Yeah. I mean, you'll be drinking to the point where you're poisoning your body and everything is shutting down. But you can still spell Eagles. So. But apparently the main. or can't. No. It's a proud, proud
Starting point is 01:24:07 moment there for Philadelphia. Congratulations. Good, good many of them in the past and here's just another one on top of it. Yeah, good, good voting there. Go birds. You're Glenn Beck. How do you spell Eagles? Cut one, how do you spell Eagles? E. L, G, L, G, S, E-S.
Starting point is 01:25:38 Eagles. It is fantastic. And, you know, Stu, I know, Stu, I know You're a big Eagles fan and that's quite a representation. Thank you. For the Eagles, I think that's fantastic. We're only sending our best, Glenn. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:25:52 It's like, you know, it's me. C, H, E, F, S. Oh, chefs. I don't, I'm not the best speller in the world, but gosh, it's good to be in such good company with the, with the mayor of Philadelphia who can't spell Eagles. but I'm only sharing that with you now because it makes Stu very, very unhappy. I don't care who they have as their mayor. As long as they went in Super Bowls, I don't care what they do to that city.
Starting point is 01:26:25 I love the team. The city is where the team is. If they burn it down, it might actually be an improvement. There's mass portions of this. I drove through it. Mass portions, most of the citizens would like them to be burned to ground. All right, let me tell you about international fellowship of Christians and Jews, our sponsor this half hour. Two days ago, the American people swore into office, once again,
Starting point is 01:26:46 the most pro-Israel president we've had in my lifetime, and maybe even ever up until, you know, probably the founders were a little more pro-Israel. Thank God for that because the Jewish people aren't just our closest allies in the world. They're also our brothers and sisters under the same God that we worship. That's one of the many reasons I've partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and we're coming up next week on January 27th, Holocaust Remembrance Day. and the fellowship is doing their part, not only helping to remember in providing food, shelter, and safety to Jews and Israel and around the world, but also those remaining Holocaust survivors. There are still some alive. Would you donate? Can you help? Provide food, water, basic necessities, medicine to Jewish communities. Give a gift to show your support of the Jewish people by visiting supportifcj.org. That's one word, supportifcj.org, or you can call 888-48-48-I-F-C-J. 888 4848 IF CJ Oh boy
Starting point is 01:27:47 Stu Al Sharpton is very upset Very upset today Oh no Yeah yeah yeah yeah He is very upset The companies are dropping The enforcement of diversity, equity and inclusion policies
Starting point is 01:28:00 He said Why do we have DEI? We have DEI because you denied us diversity You denied us equity You denied us inclusion If you want to put us in the back of the bus, we're going to do the Dr. King Rosa Parks on you. I don't know if that's a new dance move or what.
Starting point is 01:28:20 It's TikTok. It's a TikTok dance. Yeah. But I, you know what, I really don't fear Al Sharpton. No? You know, used to be a fear of Al Sharpton with some. And no, I don't think. You watch how insignificant that's going to be.
Starting point is 01:28:38 Americans have heard it all. They've done it all. They're not afraid of it anymore. Oh, my gosh. They're marching in front of us, calling us racist. Oh, my gosh. Well, let's give them a little something to make them go away. They don't go away, okay?
Starting point is 01:28:53 They don't go away. You hire and you take activists, bring them into your company, or you play ball with those activist revolutionaries. That's all you're going to have left in the. end. So congratulations with that. Saw that doesn't work. No interest. It's not going to make a difference. It's a mindset change, right? It is. You know, I remember the first time we got like protested by one of these organizations and it was like, gosh, like what's happening? Like, wait a minute. Like, I didn't understand it. I mean, we came from a, you know, we had started a
Starting point is 01:29:29 local radio show that wound up going national. When you get to that level, these things start happening. And then like, I don't know, a few times after it occurs, you just roll your eyes. You just rule your eyes. Like, when I go on Twitter and you see someone saying something negative about you or whatever, like, you just don't, I mean, generally speaking, you just don't care. Like, it comes and it goes and you just get to that point where none of it makes any difference to you. And it becomes a superpower because you just don't care about any of it. And especially now, nobody cares about it. Nobody cares about it. Uh, you know, do you mind being called? I mean, now people are wearing that as a badge of honor. Oh, Al Sharpton. Yeah, he came after me.
Starting point is 01:30:08 because I believed in actual diversity, because I believed in actual racism was bad. I believed in that idea, and the best way to fight it is to forget about color and just look for merit. Yeah, yeah. Ooh, I'm scared. It's not going to change anything.
Starting point is 01:30:28 Let me give you a couple of other things that Donald Trump, in fact, I could go a full hour on just the things remaining that we haven't talked about in the last two hours of the things he's done in the last 24. President Donald Trump declared the global corporate minimum tax. Did you know we had one? Yeah. The Biden administration signed us up for this one, a global minimal tax.
Starting point is 01:30:52 So in other words, companies, we promise, we promise the whole world, we're never going to have a tax rate lower than 15%, the global minimum tax, because that would be unfair. And Donald Trump said, yeah, screw you, we're not doing that. And let everybody know that, no, we're not going to do that. Now, that doesn't mean we're going to have a tax lower than 15%. Let's do it. But we could.
Starting point is 01:31:21 Let's embrace it. I'd love it. I will say, when it comes to economic competition, I want to be unfair. I want to be the country where everyone else is like, gosh, I got to get there. How do we get involved with them? Yes. That's exactly who I want to be. Yes. Not to mention it really benefits the people here in the United States more than all.
Starting point is 01:31:41 Now, not everybody agreed to it because after Biden agreed to it, the pillar one talks, that should really scare you. This was pillar one. The pillar one talks stalled because we just kind of lost interest, I guess, in countries, Italy, France, and the UK, Spain, Turkey, you know, weren't really excited about reinstating their digital taxes. and now with Donald Trump in, there's no way they're going to do it. So congratulations to the rest of the world. We have helped set you free again. Now, Rand Paul has introduced some legislation to repeal corporate transparency act. This is so important. The CTA, Corporate Transparency Act, we talked about this.
Starting point is 01:32:34 This is, this will protect small businesses. and it was signed into law as part of fiscal year 2021, the National Defense Authorization Act. What does this have to do with national defense? It requires individuals with an ownership interest in a limited liability company, an LLC, to disclose all their personal information to the U.S. Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. And they go after American small business owners. And any failure to comply could result in. up to two years in prison and up to $10,000 per violation.
Starting point is 01:33:13 So they are repealing that, or at least that has been introduced because, you know, farmers, restaurants, gyms, lawn service companies, all of these people, I have to, I have to register with the Treasury Department's financial crimes unit. I don't think so. No. That's a big one. And we talked a lot about that when it happened. Yeah, that's a big, big, big one.
Starting point is 01:33:38 Pain, a giant pain at the very least going away, hopefully. All right. Also, an update on the border. The southern border apparently witnessed an outflow of persons that came into the United States over the last four years. I don't know if you heard that. There was an outflow of persons, even on inauguration day. illegal aliens were voluntarily deporting themselves and saying, I,
Starting point is 01:34:13 Yeah, you know, that's good, first of all. That's, that's, if you're here illegally, you should leave. Yes. You should leave and you should leave on your own. Yes. You know, it was interesting. There's a poll Axios had today, which is the share of, um, of, uh, Americans who agree with immigration policies like deporting immigrants who are in the country illegally.
Starting point is 01:34:33 the number overall 66%. So a popular, a popular policy. But the take from Axios is they don't agree with the ways to do it, right? And so they say, here are their examples of this. Using active duty military to find undocumented immigrants, only, let's see, 38% agree with that. Deporting immigrants that came to the U.S. illegally as children, 34% agree. Quickly deporting detained immigrants, even if it involves separating families or sending people to countries other than their country of origin, 34%. Using money allocated to pay for the U.S. military for deportation, 28%.
Starting point is 01:35:15 Deporting immigrants who are in the country legally, 11%. Who the hell is talking about deporting people who are in the country legally? And who's 27% or 25%? They're for that. Yeah, it was 11%. 11. Okay. 11. Now, again,
Starting point is 01:35:31 11. Right. But like, are any of those, any of those policies, really the policies you're talking about on a day-to-day basis? What, what, there are waves of this, right? It starts with, obviously, criminals that have committed other crimes. Right. Then you have, you have people who are, who come in contact with, with law enforcement for other things that they may have done. Like, if you, if you are, um, uh, uh, busted, let's say in a, uh, a, uh, a, uh, a raced.
Starting point is 01:35:59 of a factory, those people would get deported now, as opposed to just released and then they go to another factory, right? Right. Like, those types of things are the, are the interactions that would lead to a deportation. Like this, they're trying to paint this picture. I heard all sorts of coverage on this this morning. That, like, we're going to have military members going school to school to find children who are illegal immigrants and deport them.
Starting point is 01:36:23 That is not, like, that is not what these policies are going to do. and what more likely, the overwhelming majority of these these quote unquote deportations are going to be of the self-deportation variety. When people start seeing that, hey, I got pulled over for, you know, because I got in a car accident or whatever, and, you know, police came over and they investigated, found out somehow that, you know, legal immigrants, you're going to get deported for something like that. Well, when people start seeing that, they're going to say, like, wait a minute, there's no longer this giant welcome match. for us to come here illegally. Right. It's going to be too much stress on the family, too much, you know, and they say, what are we going to do with the children?
Starting point is 01:37:06 Take them back home with you. Yeah, you shouldn't just leave them here. Yeah, what is wrong with you? Like, what do you do when you leave a park? You don't just leave them at the park. What am I going to do with the children when I take them to the park? You take them home with you, right? And that is what, like, a large portion of this will be people saying, you know, and when we
Starting point is 01:37:25 talk about this, like, they say, oh. well, they're just coming here to do jobs and Americans just won't do. You know, like when we say those jobs aren't here, they're not going to come, right? When we're not rewarding companies for giving jobs to illegal immigrants who are paying them less than a minimum wage. The majority of people are going to self-deport. Also, the cities that are sanctuary cities are only making it worse. Because if they won't turn over the criminals when they're released or they're in jail, if they won't do that, then they're release them and our ice needs to go find them. And if they're hiding with the family and stuff
Starting point is 01:38:04 like that or a different family, when we do find them, they'll bust everybody. They'll bust everybody. So, you know, any sanctuary city that's saying, we're not going to help ice, you're only getting more people deported quicker. And you're not really, you're not really helping. Now, let's let me give you this from the Chicago Tribune. When reports surfaced over the weekend that mass deportations could potentially begin in the Chicago area on Tuesday. Martin Ramos informed his boss he was taking time off from work. He stocked up on groceries and decided his kids would skip soccer practice this week. Ramos, who immigrated from Guadalajara, Mexico, without the necessary work permits, spent the first full day of Donald Trump's second presidency hunkered down with
Starting point is 01:38:52 his family trying to avoid being picked up by ICE agents. An arrest, he knows, would destroy destroy everything that he and his wife have worked for and force their two boys into an uncertain future. Force their two boys into an uncertain future. They're staying home from school because they play soccer and they can't play soccer. We have to do everything possible to keep our children safe. What will they do if we get deported? They will go home with you.
Starting point is 01:39:22 Ice agents did not show up at the Joliet factory where Ramos and his wife both work Tuesday but fear inflicted upon the employees there was evident a co-worker told Ramos that only 10 out of the typical 40 to 50 workers showed up in little village one of Chicago's largest Mexican immigrant communities streets were mostly deserted in quiet tamale you vendors a hearty group used to braving all kinds of weather weren't lined up on the sidewalks the hardware store parking lots where day labor laborers search for work were also largely empty so in other words, they're not hanging out with a sign that says, we'll work for food, will work for anything and picked up by construction workers that don't want to pay union workers in Chicago?
Starting point is 01:40:06 Is that what I'm hearing from the Chicago Tribune? The possibility of mass deportations have terrified some of the areas roughly 400,000 undocumented immigrants, prompting many to skip work, keep their kids out of school and stay hidden until the promised raids end. They're not going to end. they are not going to end. Now, Chicago is saying that they're not going to help at all. That's okay.
Starting point is 01:40:35 That's okay. Sunday Mass at St. Agnes of Bohemia, Catholic Church, was unusually empty. And the church personally advised a group of street vendors based on the southwest side to stay home during the week until they learn how ice will operate. out of the 13th Street vendors, only one was out there. Most vendors declined to speak to the Tribune out of fear. They might be identified and targeted. People are hiding. They call me and ask me what to do, but my hands are tied.
Starting point is 01:41:06 I don't think anyone knows what to do. Yeah, here's what you do. You tell them to go home. You tell them that this government is serious about applying the laws equally and holding on to those laws. and you then tell all minorities in Chicago, you know, I got to tell you, if your city continues to defy federal law, then your city's going to get funding cut off from the federal government.
Starting point is 01:41:35 Let the minorities know that they are embraced by the federal government, but due to the city and the state's stance on protection of those who come here illegally and took your jobs and received things that Democrats would have not. never given to you or any other American. The federal government only has one lever, and that is to shut off the funding to Chicago. So recognize who the bad guy is here. It's up to you, Chicago. It's up to you to stand up.
Starting point is 01:42:06 Now, the question is, are you going to stand up with illegals? Are you going to stand up for the absolute vast minority? Are you going to stand up against the minorities in your country? your city that are Americans? Because they've been protesting this whole time saying, wait, why are we getting the shaft and these guys are getting hotel rooms and free food and everything else? You never gave us any of that stuff. Yeah, well, it's time for Chicago to wake up.
Starting point is 01:42:37 And these states are either going to be absolutely left behind or they're going to wake up. And that goes for California too. And you're going to see that choice on Friday.

Starting point is 01:44:22 Darn it. What are we going to do? Well, we're going to print maps that say, Gulf of America. Move on. Donald Trump responded, said, we have a massive deficit
Starting point is 01:44:36 with Mexico. We help Mexico a lot, but they're run by cartels, and Mexico's in real trouble. It's a very dangerous place, and, you know, good luck to them. But we have the right
Starting point is 01:44:50 to rename our Gulf, whatever we want to. So, sad to see Mexico. You know, if I were a cartel, tell a member right now, I think I would be checking out. I think I might be saying, ah, you know what?
Starting point is 01:45:06 I think I have enough money. I'm going to leave this now. Because when special forces, and believe me, I know some of the people that are involved and they won't talk to me or tell me anything, but other than, oh, yeah, we're going to take them out. And I know these people well enough to know, oh, yeah, they're going to take them out. You have no idea what's coming your way, cartels. You have no idea.
Starting point is 01:45:36 I might stop pissing off the United States of America because this time the sheriff is back and this time he's pissed. This is Glenn Beck. I got it. I know that. Why does he keep telling me that? Your dog doesn't know the difference between healthy and unhealthy food, but his body does.
Starting point is 01:46:07 When you're feeding him dry kibble food, for instance, it's telling him everything in it is dead. It's empty. Kibble food has to be sterilized for a long shelf life. That means your dog's body is missing out on key things it needs.

Starting point is 01:47:53 was his firing of four leaders of the executive office of immigration review. He let these people go right away. Bye-bye. The DOJ bylines, their bios no longer active. They were just gone. And this is the president trying to remake American immigration and the way we operate with illegals. and the way we oversee things in courts. He's changing all that.
Starting point is 01:48:25 Yeah, yeah, he promised that. I don't know if you, did you miss that? Also yesterday, he pardoned the founder of the Silk Road, Robert O'Brien. Now, Robert is a guy who really early on in the Internet. He, yeah, sorry, Ross. He is a guy that started this online, I don't even know what you go to the marketplace. Silk Road, yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:54 Right. And, you know, it could sell drugs and, you know, and people, it was just, I think it was kind of like Craigslist, wasn't it? It was like, yeah. It was a Craigslist that used Bitcoin as the payment service and, or currency, I guess. So it was used at times for things like drugs. It also had lots of other stuff on there. But not him.
Starting point is 01:49:18 Yeah. He didn't do it. Yeah. That wasn't what he was. That wasn't what he was put in. You don't get put in jail for as long as he was just for that. Right. And but he was somebody who said, you know, people should have control of their, he's a libertarian.
Starting point is 01:49:30 Yeah. People should have control of their own bodies and put in their bodies what they want. And so they were, you know, prescription drugs and everything else were available online. Now, what do you get for that? Well, he's been in prison now for 10 years. And, uh, he was, uh, pardoned now. and his sentence commuted because he got two life sentences plus 40 years. That's insane.
Starting point is 01:49:58 Come on. That's absolutely insane. It was very, very long. And now it's not. It's over. Yeah. And he's walked out. He's out of prison now.
Starting point is 01:50:05 You imagine that? After 10 years in prison facing two life sentences and 40 years, you're never getting out. I mean, he had children and everything else. Now he's out. Yeah. My understanding is even just the one life sentence and theoretically, you're never getting out. I never understand why the sentence.
Starting point is 01:50:20 second one's there. Because they know that life sentence doesn't mean life sentence. You have to spend, what are you, a cat, two life sentences and 40 years? Come on. Trump's SEC is now launching a crypto task force. This is going to be very good for cryptocurrency. He is finally moving the SEC and saying, you have to come up with a regulatory framework that is clear, concise, and regulates things. So we know exactly where the government is going. That's been one of the problems with cryptocurrency is we didn't know where the cryptocurrency really sat with the United States government. Well, they're going to define it.
Starting point is 01:51:08 And I don't think they're going to define it in a way that's going to make Bitcoin go down. I wouldn't think so. Elizabeth Warren is not on the committee. Oh, really? Like, she's not going to be heading this up. She's wanted to head this up the entire time to destroy it. Yeah. And that has not been the way.
Starting point is 01:51:23 And, you know, I think, like, Trump understands, I think, now the importance of this. He is obviously involved in it. He had a lot of donors who were there. He's worked with a lot of people who care about it. And, like, you know, putting something together that's smart that allows this to still be an innovative field, that allows it to be. as dynamic as possible. And to let the United States lead the world in this emerging technology is something he's trying to do seemingly with AI as well.
Starting point is 01:51:54 Really, really important. And if they can nail this, which is, of course, not always easy when it comes to legislation. But if they can nail this, it's going to be really, really good, not only for the industry, but also America. So they're now saying, who was it that said yesterday? It's going to be in the millions. The coins will be, Bitcoin will be in the millions of dollars. millions to several million. That was Brian Armstrong. He's the CEO of Coinbase. Now, Brian is like not, because you can find people saying Bitcoin's going to a million tomorrow all over the internet.
Starting point is 01:52:23 Yeah. You know, Brian is much more balanced than that. It has an interest in cryptocurrencies, obviously. And then going up is obviously good for him. But this is a really smart guy. By the way, who was way ahead of all of the DEI and politics at work and all of that. That company led the way on that. Yep. And they said, look, you can, you can, you can. you know, volunteer on the weekends to go out and be an activist all you want. Don't bring it here. Not Monday through Friday. We're doing, we're not doing any of that crap as a company. We are a company that works on this thing, our product.
Starting point is 01:52:53 That's what we care about. He led that, they led the way on that. And it seems like now a lot of companies are coming that way. Well, cryptocurrency is, was up 106. It's come down just a bit. It's 104,000 per Bitcoin. That's, that's remarkable. And it's, it's down to 104,000.
Starting point is 01:53:10 I know. Wait until he, when they, when they, when they, finally put the framework in, that's going to be another reason why people are going to start coming in as, you know, industrial investors. And then I really believe the United States should and will start to invest itself in Bitcoin. You know, we have a bunch of Bitcoin now, not a ton, but it's all the stuff that we were, we had taken from criminals. Yep. And our government was just going to flood the market with it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:44 Stupidly sell it. Hold it. To get its own fiat currency that they know they're going to print money to to debase. Right. I think Trump, I don't know what the odds of this are. I know I've seen there's some markets on it, what the odds of a strategic Bitcoin reserve are.
Starting point is 01:54:02 And I think that would be a great move. We've seen this, obviously, El Salvador's done this. A few countries have done this now. Will it become, well, strategic, you know, that's a good. That's the Texas one. I'm trying to see if there's one. I don't see one on Bitcoin particularly. But that strategic Bitcoin reserve where, let's here we go,
Starting point is 01:54:22 64% chance is what the markets are saying on a national Bitcoin reserve this year. If that happens, Bitcoin will double overnight. Well, number one, it will go up a lot. Number two, a lot of countries will follow us. Yes. They're like, once we make that statement, and this is the time Trump can do this. Yes. And we already have the Bitcoin.
Starting point is 01:54:42 And it doesn't mean that we have to necessarily add, though. I think that would be wise for the country to do. I think it would be wise if the United States quietly began buying it right now. Oh, yeah. We should have been doing it the whole time. Yeah. And some countries, by the way, are buying it quietly, not necessarily talking about it. But like, this is a way to offset all of the dumb policies that the next 10 administrations might put in when it comes to debasing the currency.
Starting point is 01:55:04 Yes. I really hope that we do that. And that's one that Trump can really, I think, get over the finish line this year. Also, he has unleashed American fossil fuels. There are people that say they're going to sue him over this, but he's declared a national emergency to accelerate the permitting of oil, gas, and power projects. He is going to use it. It's development in Alaska. He's reversed all of Biden's stuff to protect Arctic lands and coastal waters from drilling.
Starting point is 01:55:37 He revoked the EV adoption. He's suspended offshore windleys sales. Those things are killing the whales. Just the vibration of that, you know, what a surprise, a consequence you didn't see coming is killing the whales. He also lifted the freeze on LNG export permitting, which is absolutely fantastic. There's also some other things that he has done to unleash American energy. Section 2F in this says it is the policy. of the United States to safeguard the American people's freedom to choose from a variety of goods
Starting point is 01:56:16 and appliances, including but not limited to, light bulbs, dishwashers, washing machines, gas stoves, water heaters, toilets, and showerheads to promote market competition and innovation in between the manufacturing and appliance industries. So all of the, I don't know if you know this, but your showerhead, if you had a new showerhead, there was a regulator in that. And it's what made your shower really, really wimpy because we have to save water. Well, if you want to save water, save water.
Starting point is 01:56:52 I'm paying for my water. So I'm going to pay for it. Oh, how dare you, you evil bastard. Yeah, I'm going to. In fact, I'm going to tell you the truth. I went inside my showerhead and took that little piece out. So, yeah, yeah. I'm not saying I did that.
Starting point is 01:57:09 that. Well, I lost that piece in the lake. I was going to put it right. I was trying to clean it. Yeah, I was trying to clean it and I lost it in the lake. You were always meticulous about that. Yeah, I know. You think just because it's like water, it's actually just water that you're going to bathe yourself with is hitting it. Why would it need to be cleaned? I really wanted it clean, super, super clean. But the good thing is, while I lost that in the lake, I found my guns. I found my guns. So you're looking for the piece from the showerhead and then you found the gun. No, I was just, I was finding the right place to lose, I mean, to accident, to show it. Oh. To show it. I was going to hold it over and say, look, little fishies, look at this is.
Starting point is 01:57:47 And I slipped and I dropped that shower piece, darn it. And then did you go down to get that and then found the guns? Yeah, found the guns. Okay. Yeah, never found the shower piece. Darn it. Darn it. Trump also has signed an executive order to crack down on pro-terrorist college students.
Starting point is 01:58:04 Now, this is going to, this is so hateful. Just so hateful. If a student group explicitly endorses terrorism or engages in criminality and its leader is here on a visa, then that student doesn't deserve to be here benefiting from the country that he or she is assaulting. Likewise, if a protester is explicitly endorsing terrorism or ideologically motivated crime and is here on a visa, they also will be removed. I don't know. It's, boy, he's crazy.
Starting point is 01:58:35 He is crazy. Ted Cruz also introduced a bill expanding tax deferred educational savings plans. So, you know, you got that. There is, there is so much going on. And it's just fantastic. It does feel like a lot of it's almost being lost, right? Like, you know, we talked yesterday about the Paris Accord and, you know,
Starting point is 01:59:00 the two genders situation. You know, there's so much that I think, honestly, we're missing a lot of it. You know, we didn't even talk about the fact that we have halted all U.S. aid to countries until we can get our arms around it. Did you know that? We've halted all U.S. aid to countries? I believe so. I believe so. Until we can figure out what's going on.
Starting point is 01:59:27 Until we can figure out exactly what's going on. Like Iraq. I mean, I love sending money to Iraq, especially now that they just put. passed the law to allow for child marriages. But, you know. Why is that Iraq? I thought that was somewhere. Oh, that was Iraq. That's not the nine-year-old one, is it?
Starting point is 01:59:44 Iraq's parliament passed three divisive new laws, including amendments to the country's personal status law that opponents say will affect legalize child marriage. The amendments give the Islamic courts increased authority over family matters, including marriage, divorce, and inheritance. Iraqi law currently sets 18 as the minimum age of marriage in most cases. The changes passed would let clerics rule, according to their interpretation of Islamic law, which interprets marriage of girls in the early teens
Starting point is 02:00:13 or as young as nine. There is nothing like a 30-year-old guy marrying a nine-year-old. I mean, that's perfectly in line with God. That's a quote from Sheikh Jared from Subway. I didn't know he'd become. machine. Yeah, it's interesting. He's been busy. Relief factor changed my life during a period where I didn't think anything could. I had such pain in my hands. I didn't think I could, I mean, I wasn't going to write or paint ever again. And I can't wait to get home tonight after the show and do some painting. I haven't done it in the last couple of weeks just because I haven't been around. But relief factor has really helped my pain and it could help yours as well. It fights pain by by helping your body naturally fight inflammation, which is the source of most of the pain in our bodies and a lot of our disease.

Starting point is 02:01:29 Call 800, the number four relief. 800, the number four relief or relief factor.com. There you have it. The truth stripped down like a fence post in a prairie storm.

Starting point is 02:02:38 Hey, Stu, what do you think of this? This is a business idea, just for the drug cartel areas in Mexico. and I'm offering this as a franchise, okay, coffins.com. I think it could be a big, I think it's a growth area in the cartel, in the cartel parts of Mexico. Really?
Starting point is 02:02:57 Yeah. Coffins.com. Just looking for an expanding new marketplace. I am. I'm looking for some entrepreneurs that see the drug cartels as maybe a potential revenue source for coffins. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:03:14 What do you think? What do you think? That's going to be interesting. Yeah. I think it does seem like that's something that Donald Trump is not a fan of. He's not a fan of the cartels. No. Not a fan.
Starting point is 02:03:25 Now the Mexican president. You know a lot of people that are fans of the cartels. There are plenty. Yeah. Across the world. But he has an abnormally large distaste for them. Let's put that way. He really hates it.
Starting point is 02:03:38 You know, seeing that we lost 300,000 children, don't come preaching to me about the children and how humane you are for keeping these borders open. 300,000 children have been lost. Where do you think they are? And 60% of those who are coming over, women and children, pretty much belong to the cartel. So, I don't know. I think we should stop empowering them. And I am all for killing all of them.
Starting point is 02:04:08 I don't know how Mexico is going to feel about that. You know, the Mexican government has to be against. it, but there's got to be a lot of people that don't want to answer to the cartels anymore. There's got to be a way. I mean, look, there's got to be a way to do this without, you know, we're not looking to, you know, start international wars. With Mexico? I don't think they're going to. Yeah, I'm not looking to start a war with anybody. No, I know that, but I don't think, I mean, yeah, I know that.
Starting point is 02:04:35 We're just taking care of our own because you won't take care of it. Right. And there's got to be a way to do that, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's called airplanes and Special Force. is just go in and shoot them and then get out. That'll be really interesting to watch. It will be fascinating to see how the world reacts to that. You think he's going to do that? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 02:05:00 I do. And I think it's coming to a country near us soon.
