The Glenn Beck Program - The Dirty Truth About 'Tax Cuts' that Congress Hides from You | 4/15/25

Episode Date: April 15, 2025

China is choking the United States by halting rare-earth mineral exports. We’ve got what we need at home, so why aren’t we mining? Glenn explains why this is the new space race. Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin sent celebrities like Katy Perry to space, calling them an all-female “crew.” But Glenn and Stu explain why that’s a lie. Tariff hikes are hitting manufacturers. Glenn makes the case that Congress’s normal “tax cuts” aren’t the solution. Lawmakers must cut spending! Biden promised normalcy but spent like Bernie Sanders, and Glenn has the insane numbers that show how it made inflation skyrocket. Why are we sending taxpayer dollars to Ivy League schools like Harvard, Columbia, and Yale? Glenn explains their decades-long ties to Nazis and anti-Semitism.

I want to talk to you a little bit about Amel squared. Amel is not something that you, you know, you just have. It is something you need to stay on top of. Life gets busy. Prices go up. Stores run dry. Before you know it, your stockpile isn't a stockpile anymore. It's just half an empty box in the closet.

That's where Amel Square changes the game for you. You pick the calibers you want and they've got over 70 to choose from. Then you set your budget, even if just a few bucks a month, and they automatically build up your ammo for you. There's no stress. There's no running to the store. When you're ready, they will deliver it to you. They ship it straight from their climate controlled facility right to your door whenever you're ready. There's no minimums, no extra fees. This is just preparedness taking its natural conclusion. 80,000 members are already using it and they're loving this system. This is the best because you just automatically do it every month. You don't have to think about it.

It's Ammosquared.com. Take out all the hassle. Ammosquared.com. 80,000 members and thousands of five-star ratings are not wrong. Ammosquared.com. Hello, America.

Now let's get to work. America, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Tuesday, and we've got a lot to cover today.

We're going to take you into Coachella, Bernie Sanders. I didn't get a chance to talk about that. Women in space today, the Great Remake and how it is a little like the Nixon shock. We'll get into that and so much more and what China is doing all in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about the Burn a Launcher. It happened so quickly. One minute, everything was fine. The next, you don't want to start a story like that.

Every day, if you happen to be looking, you'll see the headlines in the news reminding you how quickly everything can change. It's just like that. Things like violence don't announce themselves from the next hill over. They rarely give you any time to prepare, which is why it's important to be prepared ahead of time. That's why I have the burner launcher, and it's why I have one for each family member. I believe in the Second Amendment.

But sometimes a firearm is not the right answer. Maybe you're in California. You can't have a firearm. Maybe you're in New York, can't have one. Maybe you know what? Maybe you're a teacher in a school where you can't have a firearm. I don't know why these aren't in all of the schools all across America. Burn out looks and feels like a gun, but it fires Connecticut and pepper rounds from a CO2 cartridge.

It'll put a full-grown man dead in his tracks for at least 40 minutes, and that's enough time for police to come. Do not leave your family safety up to chance. Visit Burna.

Through the smoky rooms of the 1970s, actually 1971, into what we're experiencing today in the last few weeks with the markets. It is a story of money and power. and an idea to pull something off rare, something audacious, to remake the global trade and financial system. That's what we're doing today, but we've done this once before, because

this is not a new story. It's one that we've almost forgotten, and we can't forget this one, because this is how things went wrong, how everything in America is broken, and maybe, just maybe what we're doing now might fix it. Let me start in August, it's August 15th, 1971. Did you know that France sent warships over to, we had French warships when I don't even know, I don't even know what those look like, a little tugboat with like a pea-shooter on,

I'm not sure, but French warships were in the harbor of New York, demanding their gold back. Because of what Nixon did when he stepped to the microphone, he said on April 15th. He announced what would be known later as the Nixon shock. No more gold backing of the dollar. 10% tariff on all imports and wage price control to tame inflation. Some call it a shock.

I think that's an insane understatement. What he did was he broke the Bretton Woods system, that grand agreement that happened right after World War II, tying our dollars to gold and the stability, all nations stability to gold and the U.S. dollar, and that crumbled overnight. The dollar all of a sudden was free, free, and with it, it was free to change the world and everybody along with it. Nixon said he wanted to save jobs and fix a $2 billion trade deficit, but that's not true. What Nixon was doing was paying for war and the great society.

Any of this sound familiar, you know, save American jobs, fix a trade deficit, make sure that we don't go into debt anymore. But what he did is unleash a storm that we're still weathering today. And I'm not saying that everything was perfect before 1971.

Life never is, but I want you to look at the numbers and tell me, was this a good shift or a bad shift? In 1971, the top 1% they held about 8% of the nation's income. By 2010, the top 1% held 20% of the nation's income. Their wealth climbing from 16% to now 23% last year. The middle class, the heart of America, 61% of us in 1971.

We had 61% of all of the income. By 2021, they're half the country scraping by with only 42%. And the wages, they tell another tale. From 1979 to 2024, productivity, how much we make, jumped 81%. But the wages for the people who are making that barely budged. Now, this is the wages for the bottom 90% of our country, they didn't go up, well, I shouldn't say that. From 1979 to today, they went up 29%.

The houses that cost three times your salary in 1971 now cost six times your salary today. The debt has doubled from 60 cents per dollar to $1.20 by 2007. If you check the charts, everything, everything started to break. when Nixon cut the gold cord. So what happened? Well, we birthed a new world. Without gold, money supply ballooned. M1 money supply.

So you know, that's the money, that's the cash everybody has that's liquid. That's in your checking account. That's what's in your wallet. That's what's available to you in an ATM. It's whatever you buy pizza with, that's the M1 supply. Okay?

That's not, I've got money in stuff. stock market or whatever. Your available cash. The supply ballooned 9% in 1972 alone. That means printing more money. We have more money chasing few goods. That means inflation. Inflation was up by 11%.

Financial wizards cooked up futures and options and everything else where all the things that keep busting, like 2008, all of those things that are just these, you know, it's just alchemy. These financial wizards are like, I'm going to make gold. And it's alchemy, and they keep busting, and we keep paying for it. And they get richer. Meanwhile, factories closed, manufacturing jobs fell from 26% in 1970 to 8% by 2020.

Globalization sent jobs to Japan, then China. the trade deficit swelled to $13 billion by 1980. Now, don't get me wrong, Nixon didn't mean to break us. What he was doing is he saw a world slipping, gold reserves shrinking against $14 billion in foreign dollars. And he acted like a, you know, a farmer burning the crops to save his crops. The fire spread. Stagflation came about. 9% unemployment.

Prices started to soar. The oil crisis didn't help. Quadrupling gas costs. Confidence broke. The middle class started its long slide into where we are now. That's the history. Raw and real etched in the Congressional Budget Office numbers and Pew Research. Fast forward to April 2025.

Now here's Donald Trump, staring down a trade deficit of not. $971 billion. Announcing tariffs 10% on everybody and 125% on China. The market does what a market does when it's spooked. S&P 500, down 5.4% in a week, volatility. Kind of like 87 or 88. Treasury yields what we have to pay. When we're borrowing money, we sell treasuries.

That's like going to the bank and asking for a loan, depending on your credit. What is your interest rate? If you have bad credit, the interest rate is higher. We are having bad credit. It's up now to 4.49%. That's a 50 basis point leap. And people are starting to say, let's get out of this. China is hitting back.

They are dumping our T bills, our treasury bills. Taiwan stocks wobbling, consumers, people like you and me, bracing for higher prices. University of Michigan survey says inflation fears are spiking, it's Nixon. This is Nixon. But take a step back. Trump's not stirring the pot. What Nixon did was he took us off the gold standard so we could spend more money. And to make us, this is what he promised the world, that he would make us consumers, not producers. So we would consume whatever, everybody else was producing.

So in a way, that was his plan. And he got it. But it cracked the system for, you know, the average person. Nixon's tariffs lasted four months. It didn't fix the core. Trump is going bigger and bolder. He says he's going to bring jobs home. Could it backfire?

Yeah. Yeah. Tariffs might add another one to two percent to prices, maybe three to five on your Walmart card because everything from Walmart's coming from China. The Peterson Institute, by the way, has run the numbers. Higher yields could strain our $2 trillion deficit, make mortgage prices higher.

The retaliation from China is real and China is not blinking and neither are we. Now, do we stumble into recession? Stagflation like the 70s? I don't know. In the 70s, real wages fell 5% in a year. Here's the flip side. If Trump pulls this off, if we start setting things right where we mean what we say and say what we mean, we get everything under control, we're not just spending and we have no real assets that we actually are sitting on.

If wages rise 1 to 2 percent like the IMF predicts, if supply chains come home, we could see something new, not a return to 1970. but a system where the middle class isn't crushed, where houses don't cost your soul, and where the top 1% don't control almost everything. Even Bernie Sanders would agree with this. But no, no, no, he's not because he's busy at Coachella. I'll get to that here in a second. But here's the thing.

History is a very tough teacher. Nixon's shock showed good intentions can spark long fires. Inequality, debt, a hollowed out. Heartland. This is a very big stakes game. But what has a higher cost is not trying to fix the system. That's a slow bleed and we're almost out of blood. There's been 50 years to prove the point this doesn't work. The system is broken, but it's not dead. Imagine a world where our children's jobs actually pay enough, where America is not just buying but it's building. That's the gamble. and that is the next generation's new American dream.

So we're at a crossroads like we were in 1971. Hopefully we're wiser. Trump's not Nixon. He's got a history map, scars and all. Will he fix what is broke? I don't know. Things are getting a little dangerous and tough. This is where the big boys play.

This is why Trump earns the big money, even though he doesn't actually take a paycheck for any of this. But this, we're playing the highest stakes of a game. Here's the latest from China. And I don't know how many people are really focusing on this, but this is the ball game. China now says that they're going to cut us off on rare earth minerals. We have plenty of rare earth minerals.

there is a new space race. Do you remember when JFK said this? We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things. Not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Apparently even harder than saying decade, not decayed. I don't, anyway, I digress. So this was really important because it was a space race. This would change the world.

Whoever got to space first, got to the moon first, got to the moon first would change the world. But there's a new race, and it is just as game-changing. This one is even more critical, and that is the race for rare earth minerals, the tiny elements that power everything in our future. Right now, China has just pulled a giant gun, and they're holding it to our head. They are threatening to cut off all exports of rare earth minerals. and if we don't act with a JFK kind of moonshot,

we will lose the AI race. We'll lose quantum computing race. We will lose every technological leap that is just over the horizon. Rare earth minerals are not just elements and rocks in the ground. They are the backbone to our modern world. Everything from high-tech weaponry that will defend our skies to the sun, smartphones that are in your pocket to the wind turbine eyesores that, you know, the left love so much and mean nothing, and the quantum computers that will redefine what is possible. Here's the deal. In 2024, we produced 45,000 metric tons of rare earth oxide concentrate from the U.S., mostly in the Mountain Pass in California.

sounds great, but we only refined about 6,500 metric tons of usable material. 66,000 metric tons is our demand every year. So we're close and yet so far away because 70% of what we need still comes from China. And Beijing knows this. And this month, they've halted all exports, saying it's in their national interest to stop. We knew this was coming. We've talked about this for a long time. Do not be held hostage.

They are weaponizing the rare earth minerals. So what's at stake and what do we do? We'll do that in 60 seconds. First, out on the wind- rustled prairies that still exist in this country, between the veins and the arteries of American cities, towns, and even just some wild spots in the road. there still exists, the men and women who have always made sure that America's supper was waiting for them on the table. There are farmers and our ranchers, and every day through toil and sweat, they raise the cattle and the pigs and the chickens, all of the food that we have. So you don't have to, so I don't have to.

So we can go to the grocery store and fill our baskets. But every year, there are fewer and fewer of them. Meat gets shipped in from overseas, giant meat packing plants, drive the small farms and the small ranch. out of business. But don't worry, Bill Gates is here. And Good Ranchers is here. They're working to change it. They source 100% of their meat from American farms and ranches. Just real beef, real chicken, real pork, born and raised and harvested right here in the United States. So when you subscribe to Good Ranchers, you're putting your money behind American agriculture. I want you to go to good ranchers.com. Subscribe and get your choice of protein for a year. Stand with a

American ranchers and farmers. We need these guys to survive. It's good ranchers.com. It's good ranchers.com American meat delivered. 10 seconds. Station ID. Okay, so everything we need, batteries for our cars, chips, everything that we need for quantum computing for AI, et cetera, et cetera. It comes from rare earth minerals. China now produces 270,000 metric tons a year.

That's 70% of what the globe consumes. every year. We're second at 45,000 tons, but we're at the mercy of their refining. It's like we have lots of oil, but no refineries. I can't just pour raw barrels of oil into my car. I need somebody to refine it and we don't make refineries. Here is the danger of globalism. We gambled on a world where everybody plays fair, where supply chains are just a matter of efficiency. But globalism has left us exposed. And we are, we're handing all of the power over to China. And that power is the power to choke us to death. It was a reckless bet. We all knew this was bad. We have, we have everything we need. Mountain Pass in California, Bear Lodge in Wyoming, Roundtop in Texas. We have the talent.

MP materials, rare element resources already stepping up. MP materials invested $2 billion to get 6,500 metric tons refined output. They're ramping up. Rare elements resources says with $500 million, they could have a full-scale plant running in 18 months. We have all of the pieces we need. We just need the will. Experts estimate $10 to $15 billion to make sure that our full domestic supply chain, refining plants, alloy production, magnet factories, everything, everything is done. here and for the money that it would be a rounding error in the federal budget. We spend twice that on stupid crap every year. If we can fund carbon study or carbon footprint studies on, I don't know, turtles and elves,

I think we could probably fund this because the timeline is so important. if we use the mandate that we found in November, we could be self-sufficient in five years. In five years, the whole world will be different. Without a push from the federal government, we're looking at eight to ten years, and that's way too late. We lose.

We lose. This is about the future right now. We need somebody, and President Trump, Trump to stand up and define what is important to our future. What are the important things that we have to do and we have to do right now? Because jobs coming back is not enough. The right jobs have to be here.

All right. This is Glenn Beck. Every day there are men and women put on a uniform knowing that they might not come home. Soldiers, police officers, first responders. They all know the risk. But they don't hesitate. They go kick down doors that we wouldn't kick down. I wouldn't.

When the unthinkable happens, when a hero falls in the line of duty, what happens to their family? When a hero's horribly injured, what's next? Well, that's where Tunnel to Towers comes in. They step in and provide these families with mortgage-free homes, including smart homes where they're needed. You know, somebody loses their legs, they're there. And this isn't charity.

This is gratitude. It's a promise that says, thank you for what you did your whole life. Thank you for your sacrifice. Right now, they could use your help because the need is growing. Even with a small monthly donation, you can help make sure these families never have to worry about losing their home on top of losing the loved one.

America's heroes have given so much. Together, we can say thank you in a lasting and meaningful way. If we want our government to do less, we have to do more. Donate $11 a month to tunnel to towers at t2.org. That's T. the number two t.org. Issue 2 of Frontier Magazine about to come out. You can get on board at blazeunlimited.com slash glen.

Blazeunlimited.com slash Glenn. Well, my gosh, what a great moment for all of women kind yesterday. One giant leap for women, wouldn't you just say Stu? For womankind? Yeah, it was impressive. Jeff Bezos, who was just a little jacked up. He's just all jacked up on some kind.

I don't know what, but. Why is my sex with him, babe? He's a little disturbing. Yeah, but if you see my rocket ship, it's made to look like one of my private parts. Really? It is, by the way. It does look phallic. You know how much thrust it has.

So he disturbingly was at the launch of the giant phallic symbol yesterday. And I put women in there. And so he had women, just some great, great women. He put in his lover. She's so hard. So she was in there. And then they had Katie Perry and Gail King. And can we focus on one little thing that bothered me from the coverage of this,

other than the fact that it was covered at all? Yes, but my girlfriend isn't usually covered. Which I love. I'm going to have sex. It's an interesting Bezos impression you've got working here. I mean, doesn't he look like he's just about out of control with all of the steroids that are raging through him? Allegedly. Yes.

Yeah. All right. Anyway. It does feel like there's something. I feel like it's one of those like not quite in GNC but near GNC supplements. Like there's a GNC and then there's also a stand outside of it that's not related to GNC but selling similar products that might not be legal. Like, I feel like that's where he shops. I don't know.

I'm not sure. We don't know, allegedly. So. I get my steroids. The same place in my main squeeze gets all over plastic. They kept calling these women the crew. I'm sorry, what did Katie Perry do on this flight to be considered crew? Am I on the crew every time?

Are you talking about what she did to get on? That's not talking. about that, because that could be a whole other story. But like, when I'm on an American Airlines flight to Des Moines, am I on the crew? No, you're not really the crew. I just sitting there. You're not the crew. You're a passenger. I'm a passenger. You're a passenger. Right? Yeah. So I don't think necessarily the crew is the right way to say it's an all-female crew. Is it? Do we have any of the audio of the of the, of the, the crew here? Those are like the guy parachutes?

there are going to the drug parachutes just free falling right there until those drugs came out are they screaming are they screaming yeah they're screaming out that's screaming inside the capsule it's a very soft

oh my gosh that is embarrassing Perception there it is are they screaming out of terror or is they screaming out of like you know

roller coasterish joy Who cares? I don't really. I don't know. I don't know. But it's not a good look. It's not a good look. Now, his girlfriend said,

everything is so nasty and so vitriolic nowadays. I mean, if everybody could experience that peace that we had up there, the kindness and what it takes to do what we did, the very world would be a better place. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Gail King said,

I'm so proud of me right now. The courage. What? She's so proud of me? Yeah, we have that. Go ahead. But the best part was when we got back in our seats after Zero G's, Katie's saying, what a wonderful world.

She did. She sang, what a wonderful world. I see dreams. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Because we'd been asking her to sing all the time, and she wouldn't. And she wouldn't. Because everybody said, sing roar, sing fireworks. And she said, it's not about me.

I wanted to talk about the world. Oh, God. I'd be praying for this thing to crash into a mountain on the way down. If I was on that thing, I would be hoping for it to burn up in the atmosphere. Oh, God, please don't sing again, Katie. We missed the part of her actually saying, I'm so proud of me right now because it took so much courage. I mean, it did it? Well, she was the crew.

She was probably the captain. We know, no, she stood up. She sat back down and she heard singing. What else did she do? Not much. Not much. I didn't think so. Now, I would say it is brave if we trusted those people to be the crew.

Well, then, yeah, it would be very brave to get on that thing. would be. Like, Katie Perry is like my co-pilot? Right, exactly. I'd rather get on a submarine to the Titanic. In an experimental, small little sub. Yeah, I think so. So I don't, I mean, I guess there's some bravery if they actually were responsible for anything.

But I think they were just passengers. Yeah, I think so, too. Okay, you have some more video here. Hey, you're going up there. Flint, I got you. I got you. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

You guys, I don't have to tell you. Look at the moon. Look. Wow. Look at the moon. Who's that woman? She's not even from the Bahamas. She's not even mentioned in the history.

That's amazing. Or her. That's amazing. That's a butterfly. Oh, that's really cool. So you have that going. I'm sure it's a cool flight. I'm sure it was.

I'm like it's cool ride. It's like going, you know, I'm sure it's on it. It's like an amazing roller coaster. Well, you know, I don't know that necessarily we should have been. hearing about it at all. I think Katie Perry said it best when she said, and I quote, I wanted to model courage and worthiness and fearlessness. Uh, I feel really connect. She wanted to model worthiness. These are not, like, these aren't even sentences. I wanted to model worthiness. She was she worried of that free gift? God, our society is, yes. Yes. Yes. She was

more than worse. Uh, she said, I feel, what is that even me? Well, I'm sorry. What is this mean? Can we just dive into this? What does it mean to model worthiness by taking a flight as a celebrity into a spaceship somebody just let you get on? She had to make you. She was worthy to be a passenger on a ship? Yeah, she had to work to become famous. So she could get on that ship that nobody else can. Because she's super famous and because of her mediocre singing that she could get on a flight owned by the guy who delivers all of our pet food. Yes. Yes. Yes. now she went on to say and this is where her worthiness comes in

she says I feel really connected to that strong divine feminine right now in the ship that looked like a giant penis that a guy built that a guy built I'm going to ride we're going to be so connected

tonight all right okay so that's great I think they were all very worthy of that flight. I mean, I have no problem. He wants to give flights away to people.

Yeah, totally. I mean, I'd love it. I would go, but I wouldn't come down going, I was so worthy. I was so worthy and so brave. So brave. I think I model worthiness.

Worthiness and bravery. I wanted to model that. That's why I was up, you know, when we were up in the air, I was going, ah! That was, I was, I was good. That was good.

Is this, I honestly ask you this question. Yeah, okay. Is this in any way a newsworthy event? Now, look, it's an achievement. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Shooting celebrities into space?

Yeah. If the thrusters kept going, yes. It's like, you know, we're just shooting them into space. I think that's very newsworthy. We're halfway there. We just shouldn't return them. So this was a test flight eventually. We'll just start picking celebrities to launch into the sun.

I hope. I don't. There's been tons of people who have done this. This was like sort of like quote unquote space, right? Like it was like a really, I mean, I'm sure it was impressive. It would be really fun to go on, I'm sure. But it's like, it's just a big high flight. It wasn't like anything that hadn't been done before.

Right? Like wasn't there was no. No. I guess just the fact that they put a bunch of people with vaginas on the flight. That was the big notable thing. That's a big thing. Is it? Yes.

Is it notable? Do we care about that? Yes. Why? Because, because they don't represent mankind. They represent womankind. One big step for one small step for women, one large step for women kind. That's what happened yesterday.

If you don't think that's newsworthy, well. I just feel like this was just, Jeff Bezos. looking to hook up with a bunch of people. And we were all like, let's watch it on the news. Why would you want to sleep with? I mean, he put a bunch of people that he wants to sleep with on a penis and sent it into space. I mean, it's honestly, it is like a Austin Powers movie. It really is like what you would see in Austin Powers.

And everybody would laugh. And he's doing it. And we're all laughing. So, you know, God bless you there, Jeff. I mean, for him, I got, no. Look. He's a guy he does whatever he's doing. You know, I mean, there's been questions about his personal life and maybe the supplements he's taking.

However, like, hey, you got a bunch of money. This is how you want to spend it. All right. That's totally fine. I mean, you know, I know that. It's impressive technology. Obviously, it's not, it's not industry leading technology. No, it's not.

It seems like it's like third or fourth place technology. But still, better than I could do. It's the best way to pick up women, though. You want to go riding my spaceship? I got to say, to pick up women. Yeah, well. There's got to be something easier than sending them into space. It's Jeff Bezos.

Yeah. I mean. I just figured these supplements could help with something. His girlfriend doesn't look cheap, does she? Oh, yeah. It doesn't look like that's not a cheap date that's happening right there. You're paying in all kinds of cash for that, for dating that way. Anyway, there is one other piece to this, Bezos, as he's,

going to get his his hot babe out of the capsule. Here's what happens. We love being able to share this experience with you. And thank you for sharing. There's Bezos there. How you feel out here with our audience. He's looking, he's running around the cap. Oops.

That was a Biden-esque fall. It was like a huge fall. I keep hearing he was, he face planted, which he sort of does. But it was like, it was a slow descent to the earth with Bezos following. It was like a fall onto the knee, onto the chest, onto the face, and the hands don't really get there in time to stop it. And that's kind of amazing because he looks like he's in great. Right. Yeah.

I mean, considering, you know, all the time he seems to spend in the gym these days, you'd think, I mean, because when Biden fell off the bike, it reminded me of that. Remember how slow that happened? It's like, he's seeing this coming, right? We had full conversations in the time when it went from the bike standing up to the bike being on its side.

wait, is that something I need to even worry about? Then you need to check out home title lock right away because you're in danger of literally losing your home to someone who wants to steal it. And it's happening more often than you think. Home title theft is a new but rapidly growing kind of crime, one that doesn't require a break in, just a few pieces of stolen data and a criminal with a computer. And with the rise of AI, forging documents, faking signatures,

and transferring a home title isn't too hard anymore. It's automated, it's efficient, and if you're not actively protecting your title, you may never see it coming. That's why I use home title lock. That's why I encourage you to use it as well. They have triple lock protection that gives you 24-7 monitoring into your home's title, instant alerts, if anything, changes, and a U.S.-based restoration team, just in case something goes wrong, and that's at no extra cost to you.

So fixing this, I will say, fixing this after it happens is not easy. It's expensive, it is exhausting, and it's not guaranteed, but it's not. Stopping it before it starts, well, that's easy.

But Trump has to do something big to help American people right now or he will lose. The tax cuts must come through.

She, I couldn't agree with you more. I think tax cuts should have come before all of the tariffs and everything else. That is up to Congress and he needs to push for it. Kara says,

and dead silence from the hate the rich lefties. Let's see. In 1973, they started EPA standards on cars, so cars turned into crap after that. And John said, opening up China for U.S. investments and getting off the gold standards, were the worst things Nixon did.

And that's saying a lot because I think he did some really bad things. By the way, today is tax day. Don't you feel so charitable? My gosh, Saul's a dancer, Saul's a dancer, Saul's a dancer. I just feel like celebrating and I feel so charitable. I almost feel like Mother Teresa today.

You've worked for yourself, not at all until next week. You've worked to pay them from January 1st until next week. Do they do enough to deserve that? Time is money.

How much time are they worth? Because I don't think it's worth this much. time do you by the way that's just for the federal income tax that's not state or local or any other tax that's just the federal government this is glenn back let me tell you about jace medical they're doing their best to stay on top of your medical needs or jace case for example is a pack of antibiotics excuse me i should stop doing the jes jeff bezos impression um the medicine that you might need might be on back order or sitting on a cargo ship halfway around the world.

I want to talk a little bit about the economy, things that are going on on our campuses, and a little blast from the past just to remind me. you, some things, some things change and some things never, ever change.

We'll get to that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It is easy to support Israel when things are, well, easy in the world. But that's so rarely the case. In the Bible, God tells us he will bless those who bless Israel. And right now they need support. They need somebody to bless them. And I don't know about you, but I think our country needs some blessings.

So can we get together and agree on, let's do what the Bible? tells us to do ever since October 7th to even a greater degree than before. Danger isn't just a possibility for millions of Israelis. It's a daily reality. Their kids are on their way to school and there's a bus stop and the bus stop doubles as a bomb shelter. You know, all the time these bomb shelters are in use. The sirens go off. You don't know what it's like to live in Israel. We would never put up with it. If Canada was doing this to us, we would never put up with it. Well, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is showing up, and they're funding emergency bomb shelters, providing food boxes for families trapped in war zones,

and helping the elderly evacuate to safety. They're supplying protective gear to first responders, meeting needs fast with the help of people like you. If we want our government to do less and be less involved in some of these things, and we have to do more. Let's stand with God's people. You're positioning yourself to receive blessing that God himself promised those who would bless Israel. Give a gift to bless Israel and her people by visiting supportIFCJ.org. That's one word, supportIFCJ. 888488-488-IFCJ. 888488-488-IFC. Welcome, Stubergier, our executive producer.

Glenn, I'm looking at some economic data. I want to get your take on this. Okay. So this is the New York Fed's survey of regional manufacturers. Okay. Okay. So asking manufacturers what they see going forward about six months. What are you ordering?

What are you ordering? What do you think? What are you expecting? Okay. And so this is from Joe Wiesenthali says, basically every line, new orders, employment, etc., is going down with the exception of prices, which are going up. Now I'm looking at the data itself, and you see, you know, general business conditions,

new orders, shipments, all of these are going down. In fact, all three of those in particular are worse than at any point since even 2020, including the COVID era. So they were believing six months ahead general business conditions worse than they thought it was going to be even in 2020.

When you go to prices, you see it, yes, ticking up, but now almost to the piece, levels of the Biden inflation era. Prices paid and prices received. So they think all of this is going up. Capital expenditures down. A number of employees way down to the point of basically as low as 2020.

All of these things are, and again, we should point out this is not just generally generalized people predicting the economy. These are manufacturers. These are the people that ideally would be helped by these types of. of policies. And it might just be that it takes more time than this. It might just be other economic factors. There's so much to deal with when you're talking about an economy, especially one that's on a global scale. Do you have any sense as to what's going on here? Shouldn't we be seeing, I mean, prices doesn't surprise me, right? That they would be up. But shouldn't we be seeing more optimism from manufacturers?

No. Here's why. Let's say you make that computer. and you make it here in America and you're going to sell it. But you don't make any of the parts here. You just assemble it here. Okay. Are you buying a whole bunch of pieces to make that computer right now? If you're ordering, are you like, let's stock up?

You doing that right now or not? I mean, I would think probably not. Why? Well, I mean, the prices are going to be higher. and maybe the just generalized instability, like not knowing what the future holds. Okay, I would say I'm not doing it because the price is so high.

And once I buy that, if the price comes down because of tariffs are relieved, then I'm stuck with all of this stuff that I'm now going to have to pass on to the... I'm going to have a hard time selling that stuff, okay, because the price is so high. So I'm hoping, this is just my guess, I'm hoping, as somebody who is running manufacturing, that I got enough on hand.

Let's not order anything. Let's not do anything. Let's hope that these tariffs are going to come down to be more reasonable. But as you do that, you know how long it takes to get stuff and to build stuff. So you're looking six months out into the future. What you're saying is, I don't know what it looks like six months from now for me ordering stuff. but in six months from now, I'm going to have fewer things on hand. And if the tariffs haven't come down, I am going to have to pass those prices on for a longer period of time because all of that buildup.

And at that price, I don't know how many people are going to be able to afford my product because it has a lot of product that's from China in it. So I don't know what to do. I don't want to be stuck with all this expensive inventory. and I'm hoping that things change. So it's the instability. It is the not knowing what's going to happen with these tariffs that I think is doing the biggest damage when it's coming to those numbers. Does that make sense to?

Yeah. Because business owners are looking at their next six months, their next year, where those prices have not hit average people at all at all. I mean, a lot of these, the first. Unless you're buying a car. Right. because those went on a little while ago, right? Yeah.

Because you actually told me a story. I think you said you were talking to a friend of yours that was a car dealership owner. Yes. Yes. And how does that affect them? So he went and he just took all of his money because, you know, dealerships run on, you know, mortgage, you know, a loan, a revolving loan for, you know, they're not sitting around with all that cash. And so they have to buy the product. so it comes in from GM or wherever and all that product is sitting there and they own it they own it they owe the bank for it and they are hoping that that product will sell in the next 30 days 60 days or 90 days okay and the bank is expecting that to turn like that so you go out and if you were thinking ahead you bought all of that product at the lower price in hopes that you could have two or three months of low price product sitting on your lot in hopes that when people come in to buy stuff, you don't have to

have, you're not tariff free, your tariff exempt because it was already here in the United States before the tariff came on. Right. Okay. So your tariff exempt. So your prices stay the same. The problem is after three months, you don't have the cars. So you'll have three month cushion in hopes that, A,

The economy doesn't go to crap, so nobody's buying cars. If people are going to buy cars, you have them at the right price. You have them at the old price. So you can sell them through. If you don't sell them through, now you're in real trouble because you have three months, not one month. You have three months of product sitting on your lot. That's a huge gamble. So you're sitting there with all that product hoping that that's going to sell at the old price.

But if the economy goes down and everybody's like, I can't, I don't know if I want to buy a new car, even at the old price, then they're in trouble. And if they do sell through all of that and the tariffs are still high, now they've got to buy all those cars at a higher price. And can you get them onshore? Who's going to order them? You know what I mean? Can you get them even to get across?

Are these companies even going to ship them and who are they going to ship them to? Because how many are they going to buy? How many people are going to buy at it? you know, 35, 25, 35, 50% more than what they were paying. Right. Because, yeah, I think, too, I'd be hesitant, right? Because I think there's a chance this works out. You know, maybe, like, because you imagine if you have this big shipment coming from a place

that maybe has some higher tariff rate on it coming to the U.S. And you're, like, I was, you know, talking to somebody who was talking about delaying the shipments, like basically just saying, like, leave it there. for now. Yeah. Because we hope it's going to, this situation is going to change. So you're like, ah, let's just hope, hold the, hold the, you know, the containers in the port in, you know, wherever it was, Vietnam.

And, and just wait. And hopefully this clears up. And then we can ship it because what's- And then what happens? Well, well, then I guess then you have a lower supply of goods, right? You have a lower supply of- punishing. Yeah, you're not replenishing.

But then when it's all, when the tariffs happen, now you have a glut. you have all of those ports filled with stuff that now need ships to come over. And because the shipping has been hurt, because they haven't been shipping stuff, do they, how long can you go holding those ships, you know, because they all have mortgages on those ships too. So if they're not in use in three months from now, what condition are those shipping companies in to be able to say, full steam ahead, open up all of the ports, open up all the ships.

Do they, are they in any condition to be able to do that? And so you have this glut on that side. Then you have to get them across the country, or I mean, across the sea. And then you have the same problem we had with COVID. When COVID, when they opened up the ports again, then it was like we couldn't move it fast enough. Right. It got bogged down with the trains. I mean, this is going to be a real problem.

And that was a big part of one of the causes of the inflation. Right? What is that? Yeah. So that's not good. So what do you do? I mean, obviously, these policies are what they are, whether you agree with them or not. Is there anything else you can do that offset that? Tax cuts and regulation cuts. I can't believe the president is not pounding Congress on this. You've got to – right now, all you have – if I'm running a business right now, I'm looking to – to assemble all these parts and I'm paying 25% more. Okay, I can't pass 25% onto my, my customer. I mean, my product won't sell at 25, you know, unless it's, unless it's food.

And then that'll be riots. You know what I mean? So I got to pass on 25% tariff. Uh, is there anything I can cut? Right. To make that. Well, if you cut regulation and you cut taxes, you ease that burden. you give these corporations and you give and you give the average person some relief.

The Republicans are only cutting, when they say they're cutting taxes, they're only making the Trump tax cuts permanent. This is infuriating. Yeah, it's all right. You've already experienced that cut. So you're not getting more cuts. I mean, here we are in tax day. Today is tax day. The president should be all over television today talking about pushing a huge tax.

cut. And we should be clear, there is a contingency within the White House. And I do not think Donald Trump is part of this contingency. There's no way he is. But they are floating tax increases on the evil rich people. Again, that does not sound very Donald Trumpish. I don't think that faction will win in this battle. Though, if it does, I will be critical of it, and I'm sure you will be as well. If you do tax increases at this point and tariffs, I don't know how you say. survive. I don't know how the country survives. Especially if you're doing it to the business owners. Because those are the people

who pay the taxes. You won't have the giant corporations. You'll have every single middle upper, you know, upper, middle, upper income that is a somebody who's an entrepreneur that's struggling to make ends meet. Those are the people that are going to be hit. IBM's

not going to be hurt. Apple's not going to be hurt. They'll be hurt in the sales of their products because they're the tariffs, but they're not going to be hurt in taxes. They'll figure out a way to get, you know, get around the taxes. They'll pay less tax or, you know, the same kind of tax they've been paying. They'll find the loopholes. It'll be the people who are in the middle, who are struggling to keep their businesses open. It will be exactly like COVID. It will hurt the small business and it won't necessarily hurt the big business. And the thing that's good about

the tax and regulation cuts you're talking about is it does it basically achieves part of the goal of the tariffs, which is it doesn't alleviate the burden on foreign countries, but it does alleviate the burden on Americans, right? American business owners, American taxpayers. Yeah. And it does, it helps. It's the second part of the tariffs. It's right now we're all stick.

Yes. Okay. Move to the United States or we'll put you out. Well, you know, okay. maybe, but can you give me a carrot too? I need a carrot. Here's the carrot. You'll pay, you move it, you won't pay the tariff, and you move it here.

I'm going to have you pay the lowest income tax as a business in the world. So there will be no place better for your taxes than the United States of America. That's why Texas is growing. That's why Florida is growing. That's what the United States needs to do. They need to make the income tax. shockingly low. So people will say,

and the regulation, shockingly low. So I don't have to have a whole bank of attorneys. I don't have to do, I want to build a building. What I have to do? A wildlife refugee and indigenous people's study for four years first? I get what?

Forget it. I'm not going to do that. Yeah. People stuff all the time. That's the stuff they've got to cut. I love that. I also, you know,

certainly the tax cuts in getting getting them lower would be a great outcome. I, you know, I think that would excite people, right? Right now, there's a fear of these prices going up and economic activity cutting. And remember, you know, again, this hasn't hit Americans yet at all. I mean, none of this has hit Americans yet other than businesses. And I, you know, you talk to business owners and they're freaked out about it. But like, you know, the thing that got shipped, you know, from China is still in transit,

probably by the time these higher tariff rates went into effect. Like, it's not even here yet. So these prices have not even kicked in. At some point, the American people are going to start feeling them. If you don't give them something to get excited about as well, and I know, we all know Trump wants to do this. I mean, I don't know. It's the first time I have seen him in this administration, this time around.

And he never does this. So I'm going to sit down with him in the White House in a couple of weeks for an interview. And I can't wait to talk to him. about this because he's not he has a better gut on him and a better sense for the American people. He's got to know

how the American people feel. So what is happening? Why aren't these things happening? I mean, it just could be Congress is not doing it. That's what I think the answer is. With a three seat majority or whatever it is, it's really hard to get these things across. But then channel that energy

to them and not on what is Trump doing? Channel it. That's that's the bully pulpit that he has. Back in just a minute. You know, ever notice how nobody around you thinks there's a problem until there is? You look at things like the national debt, current inflation, global instability, looming trade war. You start making changes. You cut back a little. You get out some of those risky investments. You start saving money. You know, and then it gets worse and worse and worse. And everybody's like, no, it's not so bad. And then you're like, I got to find something that will hold value. People roll their, oh, you're buying gold now. Oh, you think the dollar's going to collapse.

Sounds like you've been listening to too much Glenn Beck, nerd. They should be asking themselves, what if you're right? What if you're right? Because here's the thing. History is not on their side. It's on yours. It's on mine. Currencies collapse. Markets collapse. But gold, gold indoors. Lear Capital understands that for over 25 years of been helping people just like you move a portion of their savings into gold for that reason.

We need to cut spending. And we know, the president's been very clear. He's not going after, despite what the left says all the time. He's not going after your Medicare. He's not going after your Social Security, these big entitlement programs. So it's difficult to cut. However, we did just have a president that spent multiple trillions of dollars on things that are brand new. People are not locked into it.

They don't expect it. They're not lifelong entitlements. Cut them all. I haven't seen anybody. on the right in Congress, even bring this up. No. Why aren't they going after whatever, every dime that were spent by Biden that you can still bring back in and end all the progress?

Some are. Some, Chip Roy is one. Go back to the 2019 spending. Yeah. Just return the budget back to what it was in 2019. That'll save you trillions of dollars, trillions. Remember, we didn't go crazy until 2020, 2019, 2020. Yeah.

So go back to the precoats. spending, that would, that alone would bolster our dollar and bring our dollar back up. It would help people buy our treasury bills. Right now with China dumping and now the treasury saying, well, we might buy our own treasury bills back. With what? With what money? Be really very aware. Be very, very aware on how high stakes this game is. This is Glenn Beck. Pain isn't just something that you feel. This is something that takes.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck programs. We're so glad to have you join us today. It's tax day. And our taxes are only going to get worse and worse and worse if we don't control our spending. And inflation. I was looking at the budget deficit in 2019. Just listen to this. The 2019 deficit or let me see if we're.

I can find exactly what I was talking about. Yeah, $2.7 trillion for in 2019, $2.7 trillion. Inflation adjusted is $3.3 trillion today. Excuse me? Wow. That's a happens fast. Wow, that happens fast.

$600 billion difference. That's your Biden inflation era. Yeah. Right. That's all that. Yeah. That, I mean, that, that, that, that says, a lot, says a lot. It does. And what's fascinating is what's the cause of all of that? Well,

at least a lot of it was spending. Right. Giant and multiple new bills. I mean, Biden authorized about $4 to $5 trillion of new spending when he was in office. They went for it, remember? Like, this was not a, this is not a, you know, remember Biden was brought in as like a return to normalcy. And we're just going to, we're going to be sane people. We're just not, we're going to go crazy. We're not going to be AOC. Right. Remember he was going against Bernie Sanders, right? We're not going to be like Bernie Sanders.

Well, then he was just like Bernie Sanders and did all the spending and really went for it. And I, you know, we brought this up before, but like I just don't understand why Republicans aren't looking at every single dime spent and saying absolutely not. These crazy bills that were passed, we can over, we can overcome them. We can reverse them. Trump cannot. Trump can't by himself. No. I'm talking about the reconciliation bill.

It's going to go through Congress, which has these tax cuts. And part of the trick, as you've mentioned before, is they say tax cuts, but what they mean is making the current tax rate permanent. Yeah, it's not a tax cut. It's not a tax cut. This is not what the American people voted for. No. You know, Donald Trump said tax cuts. And everybody interprets that as an actual cut to the taxes I'm paying, not an extension.

of the same tax I'm paying into the years going forward. We want a tax cut. So these are the two things the right are talking about right now, apparently, which is one, make Trump's previous tax rate, the ongoing tax rate permanent, which again, it won't do enough. Would be better than raising it to the former rate, but it's not good enough with the tariffs.

You have to make, you have to attract people to start businesses and bring businesses here by actually giving them the most competitive tax in the world. Right. And of course, obviously, when it comes down to prices, you have tariffs are a tax, right? Right. So you already have that. That's a little bit of pain, as Trump's talked about.

So you need to be able to alleviate the pain, not by making the current rate go on. That's not going to alleviate any of the pain. The other proposal by the right seems to be making the tax rates permanent from the Trump tax rates, except for the high. bracket and returning those to the old rates. That's insane. If those are the two proposals, we're in serious trouble. We're in real trouble.

Part of the problem here, though, to be fair, is scoring this bill. When it goes through this entire process, the reconciliation process, the reason why you need that is because you don't have to get 60 votes in the Senate. So you have to go through this reconciliation process to get this passed. So you only need 50 votes, which the Republicans have. The problem with that is, it has to have, it has to be a situation that lowers the the debt, the deficit on the country, right? So that's the rule to only have to do with 50 votes.

I have that answer. Okay. Go ahead. Well, I mean, my only point here was going to be what they're saying, what the way this gets scored, right, is that they say the keeping the rates permanent is a cost because if we didn't change the law, the rates would go up and we get more money from taxes. That's how that's scored, which to me is unfair and ridiculous. but

when you can dive into these programs that Biden has passed and authorized a bunch of spending, much of which has not gone out the door yet. Yes. You can go in there, cut slash all of that stuff. Yes.

And make all sorts of savings against those BS cost increase. Yeah. I mean, I feel like Jeff Bezos is like, I got to have sex with that idea. But yeah, that's that is the answer. Okay, so you got to say, okay, well, I can save you a lot of money.

How much was the, you know, inflation reduction act, which Biden is on record saying it had nothing to do with inflation, had everything to do with global warming? Well, the president doesn't believe in that nonsense. The Congress doesn't believe in that nonsense. The Republican senators don't believe in that nonsense. why aren't you just cutting that? Because most of that has not gone out. A lot of it has not gone out. And the way, again, these things get scored is if the money is expected to be spent

and you say now it will not be spent, that is a good improvement on your scoring. Like it's going to help you get across the finish line. And what they would say, pay for the tax cuts terminology. I despise more than anything in the world. But pay for the tax cuts. You have to be able to get that thing to score out. appropriately. Republicans are flirting with an idea, which I think is the sane

idea in reality, which is hey, well, this isn't costing us anything because we're just keeping the rates the same. That is not the way that's typically scored, and we don't know how that will work in the courts. Seems like they're trying to do that. And it would help them become more aggressive with rate cuts. But like,

you need the aggressive rate cuts. The tariffs may help as well, by the way, with the scoring process. Which is one of the reasons it's been rumor that they're doing them. Now, I don't know if that's accurate. I kind of hope it is because if it's just a scoring mechanism and maybe they go away. We will see on that one. I don't know. But in theory, if this tariffs are bringing in a bunch of money, they could say, well, if they put them in a bill, they could theoretically get the expected

savings from that, expected gains, excuse me, from that as far as revenue. And that could, you could offset that with cuts. That would be a positive way that this might play out. So let me just let me explain something on how things work okay when people say uh you know we tax cuts that's only for the rich first of all that's not true second because the really really really really really you think george sorrows really is paying any taxes no why because he's not making an income so income tax doesn't affect him okay he's living off of off of his capital gains which is what, 15, 20%? I don't even know.

15 or 20% capital gains. He's not paying 50%. So the Uber, Uber rich, they're not paying it. And if you don't like that, then you have to change the law and make capital gains over a certain amount income. But that's the way the law is. And that's never going to change. Why?

Because the rich are all powerful and we'll call up. every friend and every favor they have and say, don't let that pass. So that's not affecting them. Who is it affecting? It's affecting the people that might have a million dollars. Now you think that's a lot, but if you're a businessman, that's about what it takes to run a business. You've got to have the money to be able to open up the business,

start the business and hire people. Those are the people that are going to be hurt. those were the people that were hurt during COVID. All of your local employers that were struggling to make ends meet might have had a business that was doing a million dollars. That doesn't make them a millionaire. That means their business is doing about a million dollars. And they're still living on the edge, even though they own a business and everything else. But they're the ones who hire people.

If you cut their taxes, then they can hire more people and expand their business. and if you cut their taxes along with the lower, you're going to have people that can buy those products, go to those restaurants. So what happens? Well, that's nothing. We just lose money because they're not paying their fair share. No, you're expanding the base for every dollar that they are not spending going to the government.

They're probably going to spend it on their business to enhance their business, grow their business, which means they will hire more people. and those people now share the burden by paying taxes. You end up making more, not less. If you grow your way out of it, this is Donald Trump 101. He knows all of this. So why it's not happening, I don't know, but he knows all of this. So you get more jobs, more tax revenue is collected.

When you spend less, you incur, just think of the United States as a, somebody coming into a bank for a loan. You going into a car dealership to get a loan. If your credit is 400, you're going to get a loan? Maybe it'll be hard. And what will happen? Your interest rate will be through the roof.

We are somebody that's walking into a car dealership with bad credit. We spend more than we make. We don't look like we're good for it anymore. We're on the decline. They don't believe we're going to get another job. They see their numbers. Okay. You want us to take that loan?

Well, we lose a lot of banks like China and Japan and Germany and everybody else that was holding our treasuries. China in particular is dumping. So we've lost our biggest bank because we don't look dependable. So when you go in and you really reduce your spending, all of a sudden the world, that says, oh, well, they're serious about fixing their problem. If you do just one of these things, tariffs, cutting spending, or taxes, it's not going to solve your problem. But cutting spending is the only one that will make people go around the world. Oh, looks like they're serious this time. If we cut taxes, we cut spending and then we cut regulation. Well, we have to have regulation.

Do we? How much regulation is enough regulation? Because for everything that is set into regulation, that means every business, every person has to file more paperwork. You have to have more attorneys. You have to have more people in between you and the thing you're trying to accomplish. Time is money and money is money. I got to spend money on attorneys to make sure I'm in compliance with everything. The more attorneys I hire, the less regular people I hire. And I don't know about you, but I think America has far too many attorneys. Attorneys don't build anything. Attorneys are the no police.

They are there to say no, so you don't get into trouble. If you leave things up to an attorney, nothing's going to happen. Because they just view the world differently than creators. The creators come in and they need good attorney. but you don't want a butload of attorneys because now you're outnumbered and they're going to say no and you're spending all of your money on attorneys that's not a good that's not a good idea for any business and what is congress it's filled with attorneys so we cut the regulation that means i have an easier time to accomplish my goals as a small business person. I can start this because I don't

need millions of dollars just to get through all the regulations, all the hurdles that the government is going to do as a small business person or a big business person. If I'm a country that has to deal with more regulations than any other country in the world, that's why Europe is dying. You want to go ahead, wrestle through their regulations. You'll never get anything done. We're becoming, that. You have to cut that. Then you cut the taxes on everybody. You cut your spending. And then you have tariffs. That's the package that Donald Trump was talking to us about. He's done what he can do. It's now Congress's turn to go in and just return us to the spending of 2019. What's the problem with that? Why is that so controversial?

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. So Sarah just said in the break, she said, you know, it all sounds good. She said what you just said, I was like, okay, I got it. Right, Sarah?

I got it. It's great. But the other side tends to do a really good breakdown also, so I get confused on which side I should be with. Well, who pays your paycheck? No. But you know what? It's great. So let me give you the strongest argument against it.

maybe next hour. Okay? So I'll give you my argument and then the strongest argument against it and let's take it from there. So you have both that you could look at. And gee, I wonder who's going to win on my talk show. No, I'll be fair and try to give the best argument against.

What are they called? Steelman? I'm going to steal man that argument? I've never heard that. Oh, really? No. It's like your argument's a straw man. Oh, this is a steel man.

The best version of that argument. So it's kind of like Bernie Sanders at Coachella. He was a steel man. Sort of, yeah. Was that the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen? I think it was like sixth of this week. Yeah, okay, yeah, all right. I just watched a bunch of women go into space and claim they were crew members and say they were

very brave and worthy. Yeah. Examining their worthiness or something. So no, I don't think Bernie's the crazy part. You're right, you're right. Okay, when you're right, you're right. Nobody has to make a counter argument. Sarah knows which side is right on that one. All right, back in just a second.

um, wombs that might be sewed into men. We have that for you. And, uh, oh, so very much more. Stand by. This is Glenn Beck. Let me tell you about, uh, the burner launcher.

Uh, the burn of launcher, something goes wrong. You either rise to the occasion or you fall to the level of your lack of preparation. It's a hard thing to hear, but it's true. Sometimes the situation just doesn't, uh, just doesn't count, uh, for a firearm. Some places won't let you carry one anyway. That doesn't mean you walk in unarmed. The burner launcher is a non-lethal self-defense tool that gives you real stopping power without taking a life. It is legal in all 50 states.

If you're over 18, you can get one. Looks like a handgun. It feels like a handgun. But it fires kinetic projectiles like chemical irritants like pepper and tear gas. It is legal in all 50 states. If you're over 18, you don't need registration or anything else. else you just order one online they'll send it right to you it is the option between do nothing and go too far if you've ever found yourself in a moment where the action is required this is what

you want a burner launcher bryrna.com slash back burner.berna.com slash back america welcome to the glenbeck program we're talking about what should be done to be able to help our economy tax cuts cutting spending. It's not that hard. It's really not. You just have to get out of the way and let people fix the problem. We're going to talk about that, although people fixing the problem. I guess New York is, you know, that's full of people. And they got rid of Andrew Cuomo. It looks like he's back. We'll give you the information on that. Also, sewing wounds into men. What could possibly go wrong? We begin in 60 seconds. First, imagine for a moment you got out to dinner with your friends.

Everybody orders what they want. You order what you want. Ted's new girlfriend, Rita, orders what she wants, which is the most expensive and discussing item on the menu. It's a kale-infused cottage cheeseburger with soy fries. And when the check finally arrives, you're not only getting charged for your meal, but you have to pay for Rita's too.

You know, not only do you have to pay more for that, but your money went to something you really don't. like and want to support Rita can pay for that, right? Am I right? Would you put up with that from your mobile phone company? I mean, they're not only charging you through the nose, they're using your money to fund leftist causes, and it's much worse than the soy fries. Patriot Mobile offers the solution. They're on the same cell towers. You're getting the same service, and their customer service is U.S.-based. Plus, most importantly, they stand for the same patriotic values that you stand for, and they use a portion of what they make to donate to those causes and work for those causes.

All right. Can't wait to get to Andrew Cuomo here. I'm sure Stu has something to say about that. Maybe a little bit. I've been hearing some stuff. Yeah. He's, I'm trying to make a little bit of a comeback.

Yeah, yeah, you know, and obviously we should make sure to welcome in with open arms. Yeah, we'll do that maybe a little. I'm excited for it. You can go through the whole welcome back Andrew Cuomo list

because I know you've got a long list of things that you can. He's just great. He's excited about. Mm-hmm. So the Trump administration has, as frozen billions of dollars in federal funding for Harvard. because the Ivy League is refusing to comply to, hey, let's not let people say let's kill all the Jews on campus.

I don't know. Seems pretty easy. You know, if you want your money spent, you know, there, go ahead. I'm really done with the university thing. I'm way past that. You know, Harvard, you have more money than Jesus. Okay? And I know at the time he didn't have pockets.

so he didn't have a lot of money. But the guys who are out there collecting money for them now, they got a lot. And you have more. I'm done bailing your ass out. You don't pay taxes and I'm still paying for you? No. You get no federal money.

Absolutely no reason for us to be giving Harvard one dime. No, not a dime. None of these Ivy Leagues, no. Not a single dime. What would I have $50 billion in endowment? that they could just milk forever and let everyone go to the college for free if they wanted to?

I think it's more than that. Is it more than 15? You should look it up. I think it's a lot more than that. But these Ivy League schools, there's no reason that we're paying for them. None. None.

Why? Why should we send them a dime? Especially when they're doing the same thing, you know, this is not new. This whole thing, you know, of hating the Jews. This is exactly what they did in the 1930s. you know, they were, they were overlooking any kind of anti-Semitism.

And it was all driven by elitism. It was all driven by anti-Semitic thought. There was even, you know, they embraced the Nazis. Harvard, the person that was running Harvard, the Harvard president at the times, James Conant, you know, he was keeping ties with the Nazi-controlled university. And then he brought people in from the Nazi party, including a Harvard alumni and a Hitler confidon, to campus in 1934. Well, anti-Nazi students were like, hey, this is a problem. And so what did Harvard do?

Called in the police. Beat the protesters. Protests were suppressed. They tore down the signs. They arrested the demonstrators. all because they had a Nazi on campus. And they thought maybe that's a bad thing. So also Harvard, who by the way, Trump is thinking about defunding,

thinking there should be no thought in that. I'm sure there's no thought there. I sure he's already went, I don't have to think about it very long. Cut it. But anyway, they worried back in the 1930s. So just too many Jewish students and just too many Jews that are, you know, teaching from all over the world that are now coming here. We can't have all this, quote, Jewish thought.

Oh, okay. All right. That sounds, uh, okay. Then you have Columbia. They were just as good. Uh, they had Nicholas Murray Butler. Uh, he had the Nazi ambassador, um, on campus. And then did exchanges with the Nazi universities.

Uh, and it was great. because they had all these Nazis on the campus, and they were good for the Jewish population. They loved it. They loved it. And the Columbia University said, well, you know, we have academic ties.

We're not talking politics. Okay, well, they're, do you know they're gassing the Jews over there? And it started with the universities getting rid of the Jews. Yeah. Yale, they were big time in eugenics. it's like Stanford. They were the eugenics leaders and those guys all had ties with the

with only the best medical people in Germany. So nothing has changed. Nothing has changed. This is who they are. They're the elites. And I say they're the elites, but not all the elites. Like they didn't want to hire any of the elite professors.

They came from Heidelberg. If they were Jewish and out of a job, they're not getting a job here. because they're the wrong kind of elites. We don't want to play golf with them or be around them or hear any of their Jewish thought. This should be a no-brainer on several levels. Why are we giving Harvard

that is just making money hand over fist and putting it into a big endowment so they can last forever. They could live off their endowment forever. Why are we paying the money? Why? I'll tell you why, because we're in bed with the educational industrial complex. We're producing people the government wants produced.

That's why. That's why that's happening, period. You know, these are the same kinds of people that brought in all of these, you know, Operation Paperclip people. When we had, we win the war and we find some of the worst, of the worst. And we find him over in Germany, we're like, oh, we got to have that guy.

We got to have that guy. Let me give you a couple of Herbert Strughold. He was known as the father of space medicine. Ooh. How did he become the father of space medicine? Well, he oversaw the experiments at Dachau, where all of the prisoners were subject to extreme conditions, high altitude.

Hey, how high can we fly before somebody. pops. Hey, let's put them outside, pour water on them and see how long it takes them to freeze. Or let's just force seawater in them and see how long they can last with just seawater. Okay. They didn't end well for the patients that were there, but it didn't matter. You know, Columbia didn't mind because they're all Jews. They're all Jews so we can get rid of those guys. So he is, he's one of the guys that oversaw all of the doctors.

He then went to the Air Force School of Aviation for medicine, where he was the guy here in America that advanced all of our space medicine. He's the guy who said, hey, you know, we did this with Jews. We saw how how you could go before they popped before their heads exploded. You know, what happens to them if they get really, really super cold? So I kind of know I have a little expertise in this. so let me design all of the regulations and all of the safety protocols, you know, for Mercury and Apollo. By the way, he also has an award named after him.

The Strughold Award is still being given out. But you know, don't worry about that. So then you had the Surgeon General of the Third Reich. he was brought over. He's the guy who supervised all of the medical experience, including typhus and plague weaponization. He approved all the test exposing the prisoners to lethal pathogens in camps like Buchenwald, high-ranking SS kind of guy.

Don't worry. He just came over. He was just doing stuff with our medicine. Kurt Blum came over. He was great. Nazi biological warfare guy. He was the tippy top of that. you know, strangely, all these guys worked at the concentration camps.

I don't know what. I don't know what was going on in those concentration camps. Why they were working there. But this guy was working at Auschwitz and other camps. And he was just exposing people to all kinds of biology. He's the guy who came over here and he helped us make aerosol bio weapons. Isn't that great? All these guys were academics.

All of them were academics. All of this needs to be burned out of our society. all of them. We should not have any awards named after Nazis. I'm sorry, I'm not a guy for tearing down statues. I want people to remember who these people are. I want the buildings, you know, the names of all of the buildings in Stamford. I want the building to remain with those names.

Because I want everybody to know. They named them after the worst eugenicists in the world. Stanford University. And in the meantime, I don't think we pay for any of it myself. I don't think we pay for any of this stuff. They haven't changed. They're exactly the same people

and they keep reintroducing the same pathogen anti-Semitism over and over and over again. No. By the way, I don't know if anybody's noticed. They have plenty of money in their pockets. How much money do we have in our pockets? Okay. None.

We're borrowing money to give me. money to people who have all the money? I don't think so. I don't think so. Are we going to give grants to Bill Gates? I don't think that would be very smart. I bet you we're doing it. Wouldn't be real smart, would it?

That's what we're doing. So we got that going for us. Let's see. What else is going? Oh, while we're here on medicine and Nazis and universities, a transgender activist that was employed as the community navigator for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, the Children's Hospital, suggested that women should be allowed to donate their wombs to be transplanted into transgender women, otherwise known as men, to allow them to give birth. Now, I don't think you can just sew those parts in and it works, you know?

I don't think so. might be a little more complex than that, but what do I know? I'm not a doctor. Oh, I am a doctor. No. No. So Allison Kathleen Simpson reportedly made the comments that surfaced in a video on social media. She said the possibility of womb transplants was theorized in the trans community.

Yeah, you know when they did this the first time? 1925. You know where they did it? Berlin, Germany. Whoa, wait a minute. are you saying all of this sexology and transgenderism and all that stuff was being done in Berlin, Germany right before the Nazis took over? Yes, honey, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's exactly what I. And you know what? When the Nazis came in and they decided that this was

unacceptable. See, homosexuals do have gay community. You do have a reason to fear Nazis. They're not your friends. I don't know why you march for. them. You know, the new Nazis are just the Palestinians. I don't know why you march for them, but you do have a reason to be afraid of Nazis because they didn't like you very much. And when it got completely out of control and all of the literature about sewing wounds into people were in the schools and the sexology university, I think, of Berlin, all of this stuff was coming from them. And it went and it permeated their schools. Just like it's doing now, that's when the Nazis came to power.

And so many Christians were like, I can't fight this. It's completely out of control. You know what? These guys will. The first book burnings were all the burnings of the stuff that we're pumping into our society right now. So you don't want to grow Nazis. You might not want to be an extremist. And then shut everybody down who says, hey, that's extreme.

Because you produce extremists. the natural consequence is the other side produces extremist. And then all of us in the middle are like, oh, dear God, that's what's happening. So it's good. She went on in social media and she said, I have these parts. I don't want them. I want you to have them because you need them. What if I gave you my womb?

Well, if you did, he'd probably die. I think his body would reject the womb. That's what happened to the first guy they tried to sew it into. In 1929, 1925 is when they started putting breasts on him and everything else. And 1929, he finally, you know, he got that womb and they sewed it inside of him. For some reason, the male body rejects a womb. Who would have seen that coming?

And he died in 1929. But, hey, let's do it again. Because what did she say? the transgender community has been theorizing about this for a while. Yeah, yeah, since the 1920s. Not a lot has changed. Science doesn't change. Real science doesn't change.

A man will always be a man. All right, back in just a second. Imagine you leave the faucet running just a drip. It's barely noticeable. You come back a few months later and your water bill looks like you've been running a car wash outside of your kitchen sink. That's what high interest debt is like. A few credit cards here, a personal loan there, a balance transfer that never got paid off. It doesn't look like much until you realize you're pouring hundreds of dollars a month down the drain.

And that's PBS. I know, PBS and NPR. Donald Trump is talking about ending the taxpayer funding for that. There's no reason. There is absolutely no reason. You know, they're violating all of their non-commercial bull crap. They're not supposed to be

able to talk about the benefits of a certain product. They can say paid for by people just like you, like, you know, George Soros Foundation. That's all they can say. They can't say the George Soros Foundation, which specializes in such and such and is making the world a better place. They can't say that. By law, they can't say that. They've been saying that for years. And they're making money. Lots and lots of money. Can we stop giving funding to people that are already making money? Yeah, we did this with Big Bird. Remember when Mitt Romney said something about PPS or something? And then they were like, they're going to try to kill Big Bird. It's like, well, Big Bird, they make billions of dollars a year. Merchandising alone. Hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Just on

merchandising. Right. Like, they should be able to function with a budget. Yeah. You know, like other people, like other sources. I know we could run the blaze on just a fraction of big bird plush toys. Oh, gosh, yes. Yeah. I don't know why they can't run their whole thing. And that's the thing. Like, do you have a list of things? I have a list of things that are loosely in my head of what the government, we shouldn't even consider spending money by the government unless you hit certain things. Like, for example, no one else can do it. Right? Like, the military. Yeah. No one else can really do that. Well, they can, but we don't want them to. We don't want them to. We expect and will afford ourselves and the whatever program is being funded some level of inefficiency.

Like, the military is another good example of this. You could, some people would argue medical research is. Like, I'm kind of okay with the government in its military wasting some money on some new weapon system that doesn't wind up working out. Yes. I'm like okay with them feeling at that. I want the DARPA. I want the DARPA stuff.

I want that in that particular. So that makes sense. If arts are a great example of what you should never fund. Because A, people already like doing them. Right. Like they already, people do art all the time. They pay to go do art. They like doing art.

People enjoy it. You don't need to pay for it by the government if there is already. You know, I really like Dallas. I like Texas. You know, Rick Perry came to the Dallas people because Boeing rejected. moving to Dallas because everyone wanted enough arts. And he came to the community and said, you need to build some stuff.

And they did. The private donations. Without any taxpayer funds. All right. Let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust there are certain jobs which simply must be done by professionals in order for them to be done right. Sad but true.

Your airline pilot should have more experience than you. You know, and he probably should have more experience than all of the missions he flew playing Star Fox on Nintendo 64 back in the day. You know what I mean? Your surgeon has to do a little bit more than just I played operation. Okay. Real estate agents, you know, they have to have more than just a, you know, a powder-coated metal sign with their name on it.

of stuff they shouldn't for instance you know we talked about harvard why are we giving money to harvard or to princeton or any of these universities why because the government is counting on them to teach them what to think so they can have more droids up at the State Department. Honestly, that's why. There's no reason that our government should be funding any of those universities. None. Zero. They all have plenty of money.

You want to help out a welding school? Okay, help that out. Sure. Not these Ivy League universities. Not a dime should be going to them. Trump's talking about cutting them off because of the anti-Semitism. I think that's great, but I think we should also cut them up because we don't have any reason funding them. They have money.

The United States government does not have money. Then we move to he's trying to take on the corporation for public broadcasting. You know whose idea that was? I mean, not originally. What a surprise. It originated, you know, in the Wilson and FDR administrations. but it was it was LBJ that started the corporation for a public broadcast okay and you know why because the elites said there's just too many people they're not going to be educated they're

just going to be watching this crap on television so it was the elites that got together and said this is bad for society we've got to have something that no one will watch you know so I start looking up some things about the founders, how would the founders have felt about this public private partnership in education, public private partnership in media? Here, listen to how, listen to a couple of things. Jefferson said, the man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers. Let me put that into contemporary. The man who reads nothing at all. is better educated than the man who only reads social media.

That's absolutely true. That's absolutely true. James Madison, he's the architect of the Constitution. No way he would have been for NPR and PBS and being funded. No, absolutely not. because he talked about how you can't have the government paying for things that will compromise the ability to challenge the authority. You can't pay somebody who's supposed to be the watchdog. Okay.

John Adams, listen to this one. Tell me this doesn't sound like today. Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the world. weak and that it's doing God's service when it's violating all of his laws. That is absolutely true. They all just think that, you know what, we've got to help out all these poor little people. Oh, yeah.

Because they just don't understand. Yeah, quick example of this. The SAVE Act, which the government is currently trying to, Republicans are largely trying to pass with a couple of Democrats actually on board, but not many, is basically a voter ID act. Hey, you have to have an ID when you go to. the polls. The government has to provide an alternative form. Like if you don't have a driver's license, they have to have some sort of system for you to get it. So if you can't afford it or you

don't want to drive, you can still get one. Basic, basic, basic thing. This is, this is one of the most popular arguments that we have in the media. We see it all the time. It's constantly on television. However, it is one of the most popular proposals in all of policy discussions. 70, 80 percent of almost every single demographic. Almost. Yeah, almost. Almost. Every demographic.

Yes. Agree on this. It's very popular across the board. Even with liberals and even with Democrats, right? However, what's fascinating about it is the groups that are on MSNBC telling you it's terrible for poor people. Yes, muffin. Those people support it at lower rates than the people supposedly effective.

by it. For example, white liberals support the policy for voter ID at lower levels than black liberals do. Rich people supported at lower levels than poor people do. The people supposedly victimized by this support voter ID at higher levels than the people warning you about it. Listen, listen. Because those poor people don't understand. They don't have the intelligence to understand. That's exactly it. Exactly. You know, we were thinking about this going back to. shows of yours in the past when you used to explain this with the progressive movement and their view of sheep and ranchers and ranchers um you want to go through that yeah the ranchers real quick the there are the ranchers are the progressives and they see everybody else they're either in the ranch house helping them and that's all their friends and all the other leads we all just go out we're taking care of these poor little sheep uh we make it easy for them and they see you as

a sheep and they will brand you, they will feed you and keep you until they lead you to slaughter. They're in charge. What happens to you, the sheep doesn't really matter. Yes, they're trying to keep the wolves from out of the pen because they lose power, they lose money, they lose whatever it is that the ranchers have if wolves come in. So they'll keep you safe, but only because they're profiting on it. that's a hundred percent what they do it's it's how they view the world it is and and they it's important to note that generally speaking they don't see this as as awful as it sounds right a lot of them

see this as we are doing god's work they don't say it as god probably but they're doing charity to sacrifice they care they care they're working hard to protect these people from their own stupidity. Right. That's how they see the world. Yes. I don't see the world that way. I don't either.

At all. In fact, if you're going to be an idiot, you can be an idiot. I'm not going to protect you from it. Some of the people that you would say, oh my gosh, they're an idiot. Turn out to be genius. Yep. Over and over and over again. That's happened throughout history.

Oh, look at that guy. Look what he's doing. Holy cow. Why didn't I think of that? You know what I mean? There's plenty of times, too, where it doesn't work out. Right. Right.

Yeah. But that is your lot in life. It's your role in your own existence is to figure that out. It's not for some elite to figure it out for you. Can I just tell you something? I've always made fun of, you know what, natural selection. Why do these people who believe in natural selection, why are they trying to tape monkey tails onto people?

You know, why do we have all these warnings like don't use snowblower on roof? Right. Did I tell you this? No. Two winters ago, the snow was so high. it was above the roof line. And I get a, I get, I get an email from the guy who's trying to get the snow off the roof. And, uh, he sends me an email of just these two holes at the end of the roof.

Because he was using the snowblower on the roof to remove the snow and he got, he passed the roof and they just went down into the, all the way to the ground. And I'm like, oh my God. You're the guy. I'm the guy. I'm the guy. Don't use snowblower on the roof. I get it now. I get it.

Well, but I mean the snow broke his fall, so it's okay. Yeah, he was fine. He was fine. He was fine. He was fine. He was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was. He was ripped up with the snowblower and the snowblower now it doesn't work. Separate hole.

Yes, separate hole. Totally separate hole. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I mean, that is, that is the, the problem with all of this is, and that is, I mean, look at how they treat Donald Trump. And look how they treat Donald Trump supporters. Those people are just. just too stupid. I don't think the other side is stupid. I think they're wrong. I think there are people on both sides that are absolutely evil. They know exactly what they're doing. They're all

in it for their own power, their own control, and they don't care about people. I think that's a reality on both sides. But I don't think they're stupid. I actually say all the time, I think their genius, the way they have pulled all of this off is genius. And I think that's, I think that's only like that because we're busy building things. They're spending their whole life in a think tank. They're spending their whole life in a university. We go out, we take the university, we take the knowledge that we gain from school no matter when you stopped, and we go out and we try to apply that. And we build something. They are just, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, how do we destroy?

And then they twist that and pervert that into, no, I'm actually helping. No, you're destroying. You're destroying. There is help to some degree, and then it becomes destruction. And it becomes destruction when you just think you know what's right, what's wrong, and everybody else is wrong. It becomes destruction when you think you are better than other people, that you know so much more that you should tell others exactly how they should live their life. You know, the problem with for the left with preachers, they see them, they're like,

who's that to say that's the way you should live? They're like some fake God. What's your God? Seriously, because you preach to me all the time exactly how bad of a person I am because I don't believe in X, Y, or, or? Z. Well, what's your God? How is it just you that can tell me that I'm a evil person because I won't accept your truth? I mean, you know, at some point you have to say, look, I disagree with you, but you have a right. Otherwise, it just ends up in eliminating people. So I'm, you know, when I was

growing up, that's, that happened. People said this all the time, all the time. I don't agree with you, but I agree with your right to say whatever it is that you believe. I'll fight to the death for your right to believe. That's when we all believed in the Bill of Rights. When we believe in the Bill of Rights, and that's what brings us together, those protected freedoms for you to say what you believe, not to destroy, not to kill, not to burn, but to say what you believe and not force others. to believe it, that's when we get along.

Because we have a free exchange of ideas. You know what, convince me. You know, Bob, for years, I thought you were crazy. But you know what? I think you're right. That's how the world gets together. That's not what the current group of elites wants to do. And it's proven by just that poll.

Just by that information about, you know, they don't want anybody to have ideas. yet I'll bet you those are the same people that want us to have the national real ID that want a database of everybody's name into a federal bank. I'll bet you're those same people. No, you can't have an ID to vote. But we need all of your information in a central database in Washington, D.C. Guarantee you, same people. There's a big difference between panic and preparation.

Panic is what happens after the shelves are empty, after the power has gone out. After you realize DoorDash isn't coming. Wait a minute. What? What's that about DoorDash? Preparation, on the other hand, happens right now. And nobody makes it easier than My Patriot Supply. Their emergency food kits are built to last up to 25 years in storage.

10 seconds station ID. History has got a warning label. And if we don't read it, we'll live it. Stay sharp, friends. Glenn Beck returns in a jiff. So there's a new poll out about Donald Trump's approval ratings, and it is not good. It is not good with independence, especially. Yes, he is now minus 22 on independence.

And on the economy, this is the part, because he's always had good ratings on the economy, even when he wasn't a popular president. In January, he was plus one among independence, and he is now minus 29. Ow. It is the way his economic, this is Harry Anton, his economic net approval with independence at this point in a presidency is so low, it has no historical analogy. Oh my gosh. Now, again, just because you usually get that sort of honeymoon period, which seemed like he had there at the beginning. I think he had more of a honeymoon period than most presidents.

Most presidents get a, ah, you know, give him a break. There was enthusiasm, I would say. Enthusiasm all across the board with an exception of, you know, the diehard Bernie Sanders. Of course. And but he had enthusiasm. He's got to turn this around. This is got. And it can.

It's just, it's not easy. It is important to at least know what the floor looks like. Congress has to do it. If you missed any of the show today, we talked about, you know, what Trump has done to turn it around, but he needs to turn the pressure up on Congress now to do the rest with tax cuts and regulation. It has to be done. We also, by the way, talked about Bezos and his fallix ship to space with the women screaming all the way. Weird. So weird.

What a weird. What a weird time to be alive. It really is. It really is a strange time. really is. That guy, a billionaire, and you know that's why he built that rocket to look like that. It would be, like, you know, and honestly

you think of Elon Musk as the guy who likes to make jokes like that, which he does. He does. No, I think, I think, I think Bezos might not have been full-fledged backcrack crazy and, you know, and then I don't know what he's taking, but, you know, he's probably taking some live forever kind of, you know,

supplements. Serum. Yeah. You know, I don't have sex words. So he sent his girlfriend up. I don't know if she was dressed. She might have been in a space bikini. I'm not sure. But that's a weird story.

It's a weird story. Weird story. And it's tax day. You missed the podcast. We started the show today with, gee, how did we get here? How did we get here in this mess? Well, it actually ties back to a day 50 years ago.

and we tell you that story. You can find it on the podcast wherever you get your podcasts. And back.
