When you're about to hear fusion of entertainment,
this is the Glenn Beck program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Oh my God.
It's Trump Arrangement Day.
It's Trump Arraignment Day.
It's Trump Arraignment Day.
It's Trump Arraignment Day.
I wrote the lyrics myself.
It took me a while.
Music, of course, is not original.
Welcome to the program.
I don't know if you've decorated your tree yet.
but I put handcuffs on mine.
It's kind of confusing.
You know, the kids come home from school.
Sure, they're only in the third grade, but they're like handcuffs.
Our teacher showed us handcuffs today.
You guys are sick.
Oh my gosh.
What is that all about?
Today, the indictment.
And I've got a few questions.
We begin there in 60 seconds.
Mark of the good driver is somebody who anticipates anything they could go wrong, right?
You're prepared for them.
That's also the mark of a good car owner.
You want to be prepared in case something goes wrong with your car,
especially when you consider how expensive car repairs are right now,
especially if it's a computer chip.
Oh, those are made in China.
Oh, that's not going to be hard to get those.
So, lock in your maintenance price right now.
CarShield offers affordable protection plans to fit every budget and covers now more parts than ever before.
And you're going to want them when the costly repairs arrive.
So count on CarShield.
CarShield dedicated to protecting you and what you drive.

Wow, I am.
The media is very, very upset.
I'd like to play just a couple of clips here where they're very sad today.
Very, very sad.
Here's cut one.
You write this is a somber moment for America.
It is a solemn time for America.
It's really a surreal moment.
It will be a solemn and somber moment.
But I do think that it.
It is a somber day that we're seeing a former president, you know, criminally charged,
but it's a reminder that no one's above the law.
No one or loathe Donald Trump.
It's a sad day for America.
Well, it's obviously a somber moment, and it's a sad moment.
How would you counsel people that we're looking at a moment that we ought not be celebrating?
No.
It's a sad moment.
Eric Swallow issued a statement calling the indictment, quote, a somber day for America.
Adam Schiff, who was one of the managers who led Trump.
Trump's first impeachment trial told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow last night that the indictment marks a sad and sobering day.
You called Trump's indictment a solemn day for our nation.
As of tonight, it's a sad moment, but the president of the United States, the former president is not above the law.
Not above the law. Not above the law.
No one is, Glenn. This proves it. Yes. No one is above the law. And I will say this day,
where we're getting this thing that we've begged and pleaded for for the past seven years is a sad day.
And you should believe us.
Right.
You should believe us when we tell you that.
The thing we've told you is the most important thing that could ever happen.
And the thing we've been begging and pleading for on the air for seven years.
That's the thing that's sad and sobering.
Yeah, we're sad.
Now, we do have party favors in the lunchroom.
but here on the broadcast floor, somber, sad.
Sad.
And no one is above the law.
Well, Michael Isikoff seems to be a little above the law.
He has an exclusive that Trump is to be charged with 34 counts of felony.
Now, leaking that information is a felony, but it's, no one is again.
Nobody is above the law.
It wouldn't be Isikov, though.
That would be in trouble, right?
would be the person who leaked it to Isikov. Right. Well, I mean, I think there's a special place in hell for
Michael Issofkof. If you remember, I mean, I think it was ironic today that it is coming from Isikov.
Do you remember in 2016 when Paul Manafort joined the Trump campaign, Politico reported that
one of our embassy people, Chalupa? Do you remember Chalupa? Yeah. I often believe me, I think about
Chalupas all the time. No, not that Chalupas.
No, this is a different.
Chalupa.
No, just anyway.
Okay, so Chalupa was working with the embassy staff in Ukraine to raise alarm bells on Paul Manafort to the Ukrainian president.
She said, quote, the embassy worked directly with reporters researching Trump, Manafort, and Russia to point them in the right direction.
the embassy was pointing reporters in the right direction.
Great.
Now, one of the hacked DNC emails that came out released on WikiLeaks was between Chalupa
and the former DNC communications director.
In that email, Chalupa checks in reporting she's going to speak to the Library of Congress
specifically about Manafort.
She also says that she has invited journalist Michael Isikov and that she had been working with him over the past few weeks.
Now, that's weird because Isikov was the guy who wrote the article for Yahoo News that detailed some of the things in the Steele dossier.
In fact, Christopher Steele leaked the dossier directly to Isikov.
and then it was Isikov's story that was used as cooperating evidence to justify a FISA warrant on Carter Page.
So Isikov played kind of a crucial role in the last crime.
You're saying he's well-sourced.
He's well-sourced on this somber day.
On this somber and sad.
sad sobering day.
It is exactly what I'm talking about, Stu.
Now, no one is above the law, right?
But there seems to be a problem with the federal government, you know, enforcing some of these laws.
Now, I just tweeted out the business-related crimes and the sex and drug,
drug crimes. Now, so far, on his laptop, on Hunter Biden's laptop, only 60 felonies have been found.
Just the 60. But just the 60. Okay. And these aren't things that you have to, you know, really go snoop around for.
They're many of them on videotape. Okay. On videotape. Now, I thought to myself, you know, the FBI is so bogged down.
on January 6th and other things like that, there's got to be a few local DAs that would like to make a name for themselves
and indict the president's son and maybe the whole family on some of these crimes.
Now, it's weird. A lot of these crimes happen in the District of Columbia.
They also happened in Delaware, but there's a couple in Arkansas.
There is one in Florida.
There's got to be somebody.
One in Oklahoma, I believe.
There's got to be somebody in a district where these crimes were committed
that you just want to see justice served on this somber.
somber day
sobering
Glenn
sobering what you just said
it was somber it was sobering
it was sad sad sad
sombering
it's it is it's what
today's all really all about it is
now you aren't saying that
people should go after Hunter Biden as
revenge are you
of course not I'm saying no one
is above the law no one
no one is above the law
no
And if a former president isn't above the law, certainly just some random citizen who happens to be related.
Yeah, to a president.
But also it happens to be, you know, escort services number one national client.
But he certainly isn't above the law, right?
No.
Because I get, I come back to this often when I think about the Hunter Biden thing.
I feel like if I did any of the things on this list, I would definitely go to jail.
Okay, I don't know.
May I ask you, if on my laptop I had saved me with a Russian hooker, not in America, one that actually works for Russia, a Russian hooker, and I was weighing crack on my crack cocaine scale, do you think I'd be broadcasting today?
I'm going to go with a big fat.
No.
I would say, yeah, that would be a no.
Yes.
You would be out.
Do you think I would be just out of a job?
Or do you think I might be in jail?
I think you might be in jail.
I think it might be in jail.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Would I belong in jail?
Yeah.
If I had done that crime, yeah.
That's how the law were.
Again, I feel like I'm talking about a foreign country that I don't understand the customs.
But like my understanding of how this works is if you do something illegal, typically you go to jail.
Yeah.
If you're caught on video doing it, you definitely go to jail.
Right?
That was my understanding.
Unless you're burning a city down.
Yeah, but see, I didn't think that was the way this worked.
I thought, I honestly thought that if you were to light a building on fire, let's say a police precinct.
If you were to take it over and light it on fire.
See what's happening here?
I thought that would make you go to jail for like a really long time.
I am sorry.
I am sorry.
I just have to introduce myself.
I'm Glenn.
Okay.
Okay.
You look a lot like stew.
Yeah.
But I think you're a stew from another universe.
Oh, did I cross over?
They pop in from time to time and they'll be like, what's this country all about?
What the hell is this crap he'd made?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're talking about my country, man.
Yeah, no, I know.
I know what I'm talking about.
And my country and the other dimension is like sane and they.
It's insane.
Is it?
I suppose, I suppose you, all your children.
don't go to the hospital
within the first eight months
just to switch up their organs.
Oh, they just, if they're born a boy,
they just remain a boy.
Oh my gosh, what a hate mongering universe you're in.
It's a weird one.
Now that I'm thinking about it,
you know, all I can think about as I come to these
realizations is that it's sad, it's sobering.
It is.
It is.
It's somber.
It's somber.
It's all three of those things.
Wow.
And we mean that, by the way.
We don't.
We're not, you know,
When we go to commercial break, we're not celebrating and doing shots of fireball in between the breaks.
No, no.
We are sad and sort of sober about this situation.
Now, when they said sobering, that this news is sobering, is that because they're drunk?
Right.
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
This is like a hot cup of coffee.
Okay.
And a cold shower.
Right.
It's sobering.
We're currently drunk after our big party.
last night celebrating this event and now
it's sobering being on the air
not being able to drink. We're looking at this and we're saying
what a tragedy. We've been
working towards it. We've lied to you
over and over and over again. To try to make it happen.
Right. In any way, shape, or form.
I mean, we dedicated our lives.
Right. We took, we went the extra
step of making Russian stuff up
with Michael Issaacob. We're fine with it. Okay.
And we're totally fine with it. We wanted
to sell our country down the river.
In fact, we've been telling you that these protests are mostly peaceful and they're burning cities to the ground.
We don't care.
We're cool.
We're cool.
We're like, hey, that's justice, right?
But today.
Today is sobering.
So sobering.
So sad.
So sombering.
So saddening.
And so sombre.
Well, we're going to try to struggle through today.
Trump is going to be charged today.
They're saying no hand.
No handcuffs.
You know, the mugshot probably.
But I want to race people.
As soon as that mugshot comes on, we're going to race.
Who can come out with the T-shirt fast enough?
I think we can.
Glenn.
I think we can.
Glenn.
In New York State, they don't release these.
So we'll probably never see it.
There's no chance someone would leak it.
That couldn't happen.
Well, it would be.
They don't release them.
officially.
It'd be sobering if it did.
Somber.
It would be something that I would look at and go.
How did they...
I would say sad?
Would you say sad?
I would say sad.
It's a sad day for the whole republic.
It's a sad, sombering, sad, sombering, sad, somber day.
And we're both sober.
Here's our sponsor this half hour.
Good ranchers.
If you've been watching meat prices go up over the last couple of years,
you hadn't seen nothing yet.
Beat prices might go through the roof.
Now, a lot of your neighbors, when this finally, you know,
when it finally, when the rubber meets the road,
I mean, a lot of your neighbors are going to be eating zoo animals.
But you don't have to be.
You can actually get your meat and still afford it
because you will have locked the price of your meat in.
Now, if you're not had by the zombie apocalypse,
or, you know, going to the zoo with your friend who's like, I've got to eat a lion to stay alive.
You're going to love it when that box comes and it's full of really great American meat.
Just had steak on Sunday.
Oh, so good.
And it was from Good Ranchers.
Good Ranchers.com.
Lock your price in of your meat.
You'll also get $20 off your first box and free bacon.
free bacon, secure price, $20 off.
What else do you need?
Use the promo code back at good ranchers.com.
That's good ranchers.com.
10 sad, sobering minutes or second,
or station ID.
Wow, sad.
What do you?
I mean, do they actually believe we're going to think,
they think this is a sad moment in our history?
don't at all. They are happy about it. They're excited about it. They pushed for it for years and
years and years and years. It has been their top priority, their fascination, their obsession for
longer than any of us can remember putting this one person behind bars in some way. This is not
sobering. It's not sad. It's them thinking they're getting some big victory. I don't know if it's
going to work out that way, but that's what they certainly believe today. Well, I mean, you know,
you've built a case around your chief witness Michael Cohen, who is a felon and convicted liar,
who also has a lot of hatred for Donald Trump.
Yeah, and he's also the big new left-wing media star.
Yeah, that interesting.
It's fascinating because, you know, I, when Michael Cohen was working for Donald Trump,
I believed he probably committed approximately three crimes per day.
he was never at any point trustworthy
even when he worked for Donald Trump
he was his fixer he was the guy
who said and did
anything but he's away from all that
now and now he's sober
he's now just changed allegiance
and now is saying oh
well now Trump is the worst guy you should believe me
now and you know what I haven't changed
I haven't changed my analysis
on Michael Cohen
but the media has all just flip-flop
now he's trustworthy now he's
honorable. Now, you know, it's, this is what they do every single time. It's pathetic. And you know what,
Glenn, it's somber and sombering and sobering and sober and sad. So in American greatness,
there is a list of 20 things that Donald Trump did not do that I think are, you know,
I think are pretty good. For instance, Trump did not violate federal law, as did Hillary Clinton
by destroying federally subpoenaed emails and devices in order to hide evidence.
He also didn't violate any federal laws by sending classified government communications
on his own through an unsecured home-brewed server like Hillary Clinton.
Trump didn't violate federal law by hiring through three paywalls,
a foreign national who was prohibited from working on presidential campaigns to compile a
dossier to smear a presidential opponent.
He didn't do that. He didn't do that. Hillary did. He didn't do that.
Trump didn't violate federal campaign laws by hiding her payments as legal services to Christopher
steal through bookkeeping deceptions. He didn't do that.
Trump did not, as Bill Clinton did, use crony to search out high-paying New York jobs for,
you know, for...
you know, maybe testimony, you know, before a special counsel.
Trump didn't, as Bill Clinton did, receive $500,000 honorarium for speaking in Moscow,
while his wife approved the longstanding and lucrative deal with the Kremlin for North
American uranium.
He didn't do that.
He also did not, as Barack Obama did, promise Vladimir Putin that he would be flexible
on missile defense
if during his own re-election
Putin would in return
give him some space.
That's something he didn't do.
Trump did not boast publicly,
as Joe Biden did,
that he had issued U.S. foreign aid monies
as leverage to have the Ukrainian government
fire a prosecutor who may have been looking into
his son and the Biden family crimes.
there in Ukraine.
You know what?
Another thing Trump didn't do is enrich
all of his family members
through China
and Ukraine and Russia,
which is weird,
which is weird.
But I'm only halfway through the crimes
that he didn't commit
that the Democrats did.
But hey, hey, listen,
no one's above the law.
Well, I mean, except for Democrats.
the Glenn Beck program.
Oh, this might come as a shock to you, but your garage is not the best place to store all those old family videotapes.
Yeah, yeah.
Ditto on your basement.
Your attic, also really bad.
Or even the trunk of your car.
Now, I didn't know these things because I've got them in the basement and also in the garage.
Memories are important, both to you and your family.
All film fades over time.
time, much like memories. So it's incredibly important that you have a way to etch them into something
permanent for the sake of future generations. Legacy box is what you need. You are your family's
historian. All of this stuff and what life in America was like will be lost if you don't preserve
these documents on your family. Over a million families have trusted Legacy Box to preserve their past.
Do it now for your family.
For a limited time, Legacy Box is running a $9 video tape sale that is 65% off.
Never been a better time to go to LegacyBox.com slash Beck.
That's Legacybox.com slash Beck.
It's a sad, sober, and sombering day to subscribe to Blaze TV.
So sombering?
Sumbering.
BlaisTV.com slash Gleck.
Well, today is a day.
It's a sad and sobering and sombering kind of day.
According to the media, they're very sad, sober, and it's a somber day for them.
As we see a president of the United States be indicted on local charges, but a felony, which is weird.
But former president Donald Trump is expected to be arraigned today on about 30 charges, according to the main.
to the mainstream media.
We have no idea what these charges are.
We have no idea how many.
We have no idea.
The indictment remains sealed.
So there's no way you could officially know any of the charges.
Yeah, in theory, even Donald Trump does not currently know what the charges are.
Correct.
Until he goes to that room where he will hear them for the first time, that's when he learns about them.
And so it's important to note that everything we know, we quote unquote, know about these charges.
We know from mainstream media reporting right now.
So really, this could go any number of directions.
Now, they've been leaking to mainstream media like crazy.
So you can believe that some of it probably is accurate.
All of those leaks would be felonies.
But I'm sure that I'm sure Bragg will be right on top of prosecuting that.
He's going to be very concerned about those leaks.
We have Arfer Bigelworth there at the...
Do we not?
Do we have...
Is Arfer ready?
At all?
I'm sure.
Is Arfer, are you there?
Hello.
Hello, man.
Hi, Arfer.
Where can you hear me?
Yes, I can.
I'm currently hovering above Trump Tower.
You're above Trump Tower now.
Looking down.
Yes.
With a telescope.
Right.
And I'm trying to see if...
Trump, it's Cogley on the crapper.
That's not what we ask you.
We can't get this information to know to see if he's doing number one.
Okay, all right, we're not.
Arford, we'll call you, we'll call you when you, when you have something, yes.
He's tickling.
He's tickling.
Thank you, very.
He is currently tickling.
Thank you.
All right, thank you.
Got it.
Okay.
Thank you.
That would be Arfer Bigelworth, who is up in the Mercury Chopper, apparently, today.
So we have Donald Trump going in.
He will go in and surrender himself today at some point early this morning.
And then I think it's at 1 o'clock he's arraigned, one or two o'clock Eastern time.
Now, they are having a protest.
Marjorie Taylor Green is hosting a protest with Trump supporters at 1030,
which just doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
Just doesn't, you know, maybe it's just me, but not a good idea.
It does seem like the type of thing that could go awry.
perhaps people being baited into stuff and perhaps counter protests that you're mostly peaceful
counter protesters may show at this particular event and not really be mostly peaceful what yeah
well i'm just uh i'm just saying i'm i'm just saying so we uh we have the indictment uh coming
out and uh i'm all a tingle now this is this is kind of a big thing because again we we
we're learning today that no one is above the law,
uh,
especially with,
uh,
D.A.
Bragg,
um,
he is,
he's quite an amazing.
I mean,
yes.
Okay.
In Manhattan,
I mean,
you know,
felony assault,
you know,
is probably a little above,
above,
uh,
the law or major crime.
That's up 22% in New York.
Uh,
you know,
last year,
there was a convicted sex offender who put
man in a coma and a walked free.
That guy, that guy above the, above the law.
So, but this is, I mean, his defining characteristic is letting people off for crimes
they committed.
That is legitimately the only thing that Alvin Bragg is known for.
But doesn't it make sense that you let people off for crimes they committed and you
prosecute people for crimes they didn't commit?
No, it does not make sense.
why it's so we don't know if I mean we have no idea what these 30 felony charges are 30
I mean 34 right that's what was reported to I mean that's crazy I guess what are they every single
time it's written down in a piece of paper is a separate count type of thing is that what basically
what we're doing here we're going to find out some of this later today it just and right now
they're just focused on so many other stupid sad sad
sober things. Now, CNN
had Wolf Blitzer on yesterday and
still, the harriest guy on television and
you know, who doesn't want to see that? America is
flocking to the Wolf Blitzer extravaganza
every day. But he was on yesterday
and he said, we're getting
I don't know why he always shouts. We're getting new CNN
polling revealing how the American
public is reacting to the former president's
indictment.
Okay.
If I asked you now,
how are you reacting to the indictment?
What would you?
Well, I haven't seen it yet, so it would be hard to react to that indictment.
I'm kind of pissed because I...
I think it's probably BS, but until I see it, I can't be sure.
Okay, good, good, good.
We went into the field, did you wolf?
We went into the field and we did this new exclusive C-EW.
N poll. What a stupid sentence that is.
Conducted by SSRS just after the indictment last Thursday.
Okay, so they did this poll last Thursday.
We had no information.
No information.
64% of Americans approve of the indictment of Donald Trump.
40% disapprove.
Wait, what were those numbers again?
60%.
60%.
6040?
40.
Yeah. Okay.
So wait a minute.
Hang on.
I just.
60% approve of what?
We don't know.
Of what?
Inditing him.
Get him.
I mean, really.
That's really what it is.
I mean, I guess we're no better because we're like, this is hogwash.
We don't know until today.
We don't know.
We don't know for sure, right?
My guess is just from the long and storied and sobering kind of saga.
that we've gone through with Donald Trump,
they always are like,
this is it.
Glenn, this is it.
This time we're really going to get him.
And then you find out, no, not so much.
No, uh-uh.
So, I mean, judging from past performance,
I'd say this one, nope, uh-uh,
not going to do it.
But maybe that's just me.
94% of Democrats approve of the indictment.
94% of Democrats.
You know what that is?
That's Saddam Hussein voting numbers.
Right.
That's what that is.
94%.
Remember we used to say, there's no way that's real.
Right.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, apparently it is.
94% Democrats, 94% approve of the indictment that has yet to be released.
62% of independents and 21% of Republicans.
Now, I just want to show you, 21% of Republicans approve and 6% of Democrats.
Wait.
No, I'm sorry, 94% of Democrats.
So 21% of Republicans approve of the indictment.
Yeah.
That's a higher number than I would have expected.
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
A lot higher, a lot higher.
Which means we're not all in lock step, perhaps.
Yeah.
I mean, you should judge.
this on the merits. Yes. You know, and we can't judge it on the merits until we know what it is.
But what we know so far, which I would remind you is from mainstream media reporting.
So I don't know that it's necessarily reliable. But what we know so far, it seems to be very, very thin.
Right. I mean, the idea that we've had multiple other people look at these same charges,
all of them also hated Donald Trump and none of them brought charges on this.
Well, Sue, we went out in the field.
And we did this new exclusive CNN poll.
And we further asked respondents whether they believe Donald Trump's payment to Stormy Daniels was illegal, unethical, not illegal, not wrong at all, or not sure.
Wow.
So, wait, we're asking the American people, what was it again if it was legal, the Trump payment?
Now, it should be noted that generally speaking, it's not illegal to pay somebody to keep an affair quiet.
It's not illegal.
Otherwise, Bill Clinton would have been rotten in prison for a very long time.
But this case, 37% of the American people said the payment was illegal.
I'd like to, Wolf, I'd like to have a follow-up question.
what part of it was illegal?
What made that illegal?
Because I would guess
maybe 99% would say
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
They have no idea what they're even talking about.
So,
52% of independence,
52% say,
yeah, this is political.
political.
76% of all Americans say, yeah, this was just a political driven event.
Only 14% say no.
We have Arfer on again.
Arfer Bigelworth, apparently he is in the helicopter now.
Yes.
Can you hear me?
Yes, I can.
Oh, Trump.
I'm trying to my helicopter out there for a second.
right.
So,
research all today
and all the implications
to our country on this.
Right,
okay,
what have you found?
Well,
what thing I've done
and I've been looking
for clues
on what exactly
what dude,
how did all of this happen?
Hey.
Including finally legal seven.
What was that one?
Finally legal seven.
Finally legal seven.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Dual.
Airbags.
That's a
That's a, is that an actual
movie
that Stormy Daniels
it's in
Dual airbags,
dual airbags,
okay.
Dual airbags,
that's fantastic.
Arfer will
check in
with you again
on this sad
and somber day.
Sombre day.
Those aren't real,
are they?
Totally real.
Mad Cow
blonde edition. Who the hell would agree to be in that movie? I mean, dual airbags,
maybe you could just say, all right, that might, I get what we're going. Mad cow,
it's a disease and they're calling you fat. Why would you say yes to that? What was the first one?
The first one was, what was it? Oh, uh, finally legal seven, which I guess she's been legal for a long
time. What sort of restrict
the society? What do you have
a 42 year old each of consent?
Oh my gosh. I wonder if there was any clues
in those movies, though. Okay.
My
Patriot supply.
What a star she is.
My Patriot supply.
Here's what I'd like you to do.
We are
in increasing
trouble.
You know it and I know it.
Yesterday, the Saudis went after, or two days ago,
the Saudis went after the price of oil.
That is going to drive the price of oil up.
It also screwed with anybody who was speculating on oil.
There's just so many things that could go wrong.
And we know that China is putting together a coalition to get off the U.S. dollar.
Chaos could happen quickly.
and you might need to be at home for a while and maybe supply lines break down.
I hope none of this happens, but you don't have to worry about it if you have, you know,
a food kit from my Patriot supply.
Right now, you can get $200 off their popular three-month emergency food kit that comes
with 2,000 calories a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, snacks, all of it.

The Glenn Beck Program.
So Stormy Daniels, it is,
the research continues, boys and girls.
Yes, I mean, we have to know.
So was she just a porn star or?
because I mean she was in the world famous space nuts.
Oh, that was her.
Yeah, it was.
I thought I recognized her from space nuts.
Which is a kind of less highbrow Mel Brooks movie.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She had actually a bit of a crossover career before she was known for the Trump stuff.
She was in a couple of the Judd.
Yeah, 40-year-old virgin and knocked up and she was in.
So she had a little bit of a, you know, this is something that was attempted routinely by,
yeah, quote-unquote porn stars that tried to cross over and they would generally play
women without clothes on in regular movies.
It's a real stretch, real stretch.
Well, it's like Shakespeare in comparison to what you were doing.
Yeah, yeah.
So, all right, more in just a second.
we are going to talk to a man who knows the Southern District of New York,
knows the district attorney, and knows the law.
We have him coming up next to tell us the Glenn Beck program about the indictment.

in, going to be arraigned this afternoon. We should know more on what Michael Isikov is leaking as
34 charges, apparently 34 felonies today, going to be charged against Donald Trump. We will find out
all about it, but I want to do some speculation because that's as best as you can get.
get right now. Ed, what does this look like? Are they going to be able to gag order the president?
Is that even right? How does all of this work? The guy who really knows is a dear friend and just
a guy who has been by our side for a long time explaining things, Andrew McCarthy. He is

Andy McCarthy is here with us. Hi, Andrew. How are you, sir?
Glenn, I'm doing great. How are you?
Ah, good. I mean, if you listen to the press, it's a somber and sad and sobering day.
And it is all of those things. I just don't believe they believe that.
Can you give us some idea of what today is going to look like?
Well, it's going to look like the beginning of a process that I think is being misdescribed
in the press because we're kind of a step behind.
What they're explaining to you,
and the reason this is supposed to be a sad and somber day
in the theater before us is that this is the beginning of the criminal justice process
where someone is brought in and arraigned on a set of formal allegations known as an indictment,
and that begins the formal process of a criminal case.
But I think, Glenn, just as Alvin Bragg would be better understood by the public as an elected progressive Democrat than as a law enforcement official,
you know, back in the back probably a decade ago, it was still the case, even in Manhattan, that if you were to campaign as someone who was, whose agenda was to put the law enforcement power of the office,
in the service of a partisan agenda to go after one particular nemesis of the party, that would
have been disqualifying. Now it's what's expected in Manhattan. And this process is not really
in the end. It's not about whether they can take a trifling case, and it really is trifling.
It's a case Bragg would never bring against anyone else. But it's not whether they can bring
a trifling set of allegations and prove them, and Donald Trump has found guilty or not.
guilty. This is about making the process the penalty. This is about making this as
financially prohibitive, emotionally wrenching, and personally humiliating as they can for Trump.
And it's kind of the criminal justice system version of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing.
It's to create an interrorum effect, which conveys to conservatives and,
And Trump supporters and anyone else who opposes this Bolshevik left, that this is what we've got to you if you dare to oppose us.
And that's what this is really bad.
It's not so much a criminal justice process, which is, you know, we can go through the nuts and bolts of that.
But we should acknowledge, I think, which really happened in here.
So can you this, because now, I mean, you can indict a ham sandwich, which is the old saying.
But it's got to go to a jury and got to go through a trial now.
Do you think you can get a fair trial in Manhattan for Donald Trump?
The court were fair.
The answer to that would be yes.
I mean, I tried terrorists in the 1990s in that same little half square mile area of Manhattan,
only eight blocks away from where they had bombed the World Trade Center.
And, you know, terrorists were very unpopular, obviously, with New York juries.
but no one who looked at that case didn't think that we got a fair jury for it.
But if the process is rigged, you know, we got a fair jury because the process wasn't rigged.
We had a fair judge.
We had a due process of law.
The question is, is the court going to be as rigged against Trump as the DA is?
If that's the case, then, you know, it's already over.
How is this possible?
How did this?
I mean, it's stunning, I think, to most Americans to see what's happening in Washington, D.C. with our court system.
What's happening in New York with our court system.
It's one thing for the DA.
It's another to have the court system so far gone on politics.
Well, it's really a reflection, Glenn, of what's happened in the culture.
And the reason I can say that with confidence is,
In the federal system, judges and district attorneys, who are U.S. attorneys in the federal system, they're not elected officials. They're appointed by the president. In theory, the credentials for those kinds of positions are that you will uphold the rule of law without fear or favor. You won't use your power as a partisan weapon. And we have them vetted by the Senate, at least in theory, to make sure that they're the kind of people who won't do that.
That's not what we have in the state system.
These positions are elected positions.
And at a certain point, the well-springs of funding on the progressive left,
George Soros' name is mentioned all the time, but he's hardly the only figure who's of important here.
But they realize that, you know, in these one-party blue cities,
DA's positions, there virtually was not a campaign at all for,
them. They were decided by the party bosses, like who would fill the slot. They're not competitive
races. They were five-figure campaigns at best, and probably in the low five figures. So these
guys realized they could come in with, you know, six, seven figures of funding, blow away the
competition, install their own progressive prosecutors into these slots. And that's real power.
You know, it's one thing to take over the courts or to take over a legislature. They're kind
slow-moving institutions. But if you're a prosecutor, you have real instant power. You can
decide who gets charged, who doesn't get charged, doesn't matter how aggressive the police are.
It's up to the prosecutor, what happens to these cases. So if you get a progressive idiologue
in that kind of a position with no effective political check on him, that's real power,
and that's what's happened in these municipalities. So tell me about what you know about the case.
I mean, we have heard that this is about Stormy Daniels, but that is something that the FEC passed on, the federal system passed on, the Statue of Limitations is over, and it's a misdemeanor, and he has made it into a felony charge, and there are 34 felonies.
That's what we've heard.
What do you think you know?
Well, I think he's taking two transactions, which are these hush money arrangements with two women who claims to have had affairs with Trump in around 2006, and who were paid off in different ways in the waning weeks of the 2016 election when their extortionate leverage was highest to try to get paid off to remain silent about their past.
interaction with Trump.
So this is all seven years old.
That's when these non-disclosure arrangements were done.
And I think the way they're getting 34 counts out of it, Glenn, is the kind of abuse
of prosecutorial authority that they warn against in the Justice Department manual,
where they tell you not to stack up counts where it's not necessary.
A lot of times rogue prosecutors will try to camouflage with quantity, the lack of quality
of the evidence of their case.
And it's easy to do this.
You know, if you and I were in a stolen,
let's say we're in a stolen property,
conspiracy, we're going to try to transfer and steal stolen property,
I hand it to you to say, Glenn, what do you think this is worth?
And you hand it back to me after you've appraised it.
And I said, well, take another look.
And, you know, by the time we've passed it back and forth eight times,
each one of the times we hand it from one to the other is a separate felony.
Now, no one sensible ever charges it.
that way. There's just two of us and one set of stolen property. But you can see the mischief that
can be made by, if you get hyper-technical about what they say a distribution means. So what I think
happened here is, especially with Stormy Daniels, this is the easiest one to explain. Michael Cohen
lays out the money and then they decide they're going to pay Cohen by making it look like he's
getting paid legal fees rather than being reimbursed for a loan. So they decide to pay him
over 12 installments, they have him submit an invoice and then Trump or someone in the Trump
organization pays him a check. So what I imagine is with each individual payment, there's an
invoice, there's a check, and there's some entry on the records. So just, you know, based on what I,
the example I just gave you, can easily see where we could come up with 36 charges, right?
Just from that, even though it's all one scheme. So that's the kind of game they're playing here.
And the idea, Glenn, is there's not much evidence here, but it's a subtle way of trying to convey to the jury that this guy must be a terrible guy because otherwise, why would the state have lodged 34 counts again?
Correct.
Oh, my God, he must be Nikki Barnes.
So, when you look at these charges, first of all, is it illegal for Donald Trump to pay either of these women off?
No.
Non-disclosure agreements are a staple.
of civil litigation in the United States.
They happen all the time.
And that's not even immoral.
I mean, what they were charging may have been immoral,
but for him to pay them off, it's not immoral and it's not illegal.
It's a business transaction.
That happens all the time.
Right.
So what's going on is Bragg, in his mind, as a progressive Democrat,
he has decided that it can't possibly be that the Democrats ran an atrocious candidate against Trump.
it must be that he stole the 2016 election, and the way he did it was by having these dark,
hush money arrangements, which he didn't disclose before Election Day,
and that's why Mrs. Clinton was defeated, so this has to be pursued as if it were a violation of the campaign finance laws.
And mind you, Glenn, if it actually was a campaign finance expenditure, which I don't think it was as a matter of law,
Trump wouldn't have had to disclose it even if he considered it one until long after the 2016
election. So this whole thing is like left-wing fantasy land, but that's what we're...
So wait a minute. So, but they're trying to get him because he claimed it was legal,
which seems more reasonable to me that it was illegal. You are taking and you are paying somebody
and you're having your attorney have them sign a paper. So it's an illegal, it's a legal expense.
in my book, it would be, much more than campaign.
If he would have made a campaign expenditure,
then he's using campaign money for personal stuff.
I mean, that would have been worse, wouldn't have?
Yeah, they would have gotten them on that.
This is not one of these things where there's a way out.
There's not.
I mean, they get them coming and go.
And if he didn't disclose it,
it's because he was intentionally violating the campaign finance laws.
And if he had disclosed it as a campaign expense, they would have said how outrageous it was that he would use campaign funds for something like this.
So, yes, it's it's Kafka.
You know, I mean, they just get them whichever way he goes.
Giving the other side, the benefit of the doubt, giving the prosecution, and I don't know if you can, but try.
Giving them a benefit of doubt.
Is there any way you could make this case make sense without politics?
No.
Well, no, but, you know, to broaden the lens, Brad's agenda with respect to everyone who's not named Donald Trump is to not prosecute.
Correct.
So what we have in New York is we have very serious crimes, which are felonies, which he either pleads down to misdemeanors or just as commonly doesn't prosecute at all.
So the thought that anybody in New York would be prosecuted for misdemeanor, fall.
falsification of records is very hard to take because we have people committing serious crimes here
who don't get prosecuted. So it's really hard to take the politics. Adelis, Glenn, plus, you know,
just to go back to the beginning, he's an elected official. He's not an appointed law enforcement
official. He got elected promising to leverage his power against Trump. Okay, we're talking to
Andy McCarthy. Hang on just a second for one minute, Andy. I want to come back and I want to talk to you about
how does a misdemeanor become a felony?
And then also they're talking about a gag order.
And I don't even understand how you could legally do that to Donald Trump.
But we'll go back to Andy here in 60 seconds.

Now, isn't the exact same thing that Donald Trump is accused of doing?
Isn't it the same thing that Hillary Clinton was accused and convicted of doing or her campaign?
Well, what he's formally going to be accused of is falsifying Trump organization business records.
And the way they get that into a felony is in New York, the misdemeanor can become a felony if the person was trying to cover up another crime by falsifying the records.
So I don't even think they're going to be able to prove if it's a fair proceeding that there's a falsification of,
records because for that you have to show that the person acted with an intent to defraud.
And I don't see any intent to defraud here. There's nobody who was conceivably harmed by the way
that they booked this thing. But it's even more preposterous to say that he concealed another
crime because the crime I think they want to point to is campaign finance violations, the failure
to disclose this as a campaign in-kind donation. And not only,
only was it not one, but, you know, more to the point when the New York statute talks about
concealing another crime, what they're obviously talking about is a New York penal crime,
not a federal campaign finance crime. So I don't think that Bragg even has jurisdiction
to enforce the federal campaign finance laws if there was a violation here, which I don't think
there was. But didn't Hillary Clinton, wasn't she charged because of the state?
steel dossier, she marked it down as a legal expense. Isn't that the same, pretty much the same thing?
Yes. In other words, misrepresenting what was an in-kind campaign contribution as legal fees.
That's exactly right. Yes. Correct. And so she paid a fine, and that's a misdemeanor.
Glenn, that's the other thing here. Nobody gets, nobody gets prosecuted for these campaign finance.
violations. The Obama campaign in 2008 had like a record, I don't, I don't remember it's like two and a half
million dollar violation. They paid a $300,000 fine. The last person prominently who was
prosecuted for one of these things, John Edwards, the case was a disaster. And this is actually
an amusing bit because, you know, for Brag to win, he has to show that Trump not only knew that
he had committed a campaign finance violation, but that he acted with that in mind in falsifying
the records. I don't know how he could have known this was a campaign finance violation,
putting aside that it wasn't when in the Edwards case, there's two federal bureaucracies that
regulate this, the Justice Department and the Federal Election Commission. They disagreed on
whether it was a campaign violation. The FEC said no, the Justice Department prosecuted it.
And then the judge looked at it and said, well, you know, maybe it is. Maybe it is.
it isn't. He let it go to the jury, and the jury said no. So who knows what a campaign
finance? Unbelievable. Andy, I don't know if you have time, but if you do, I'd like to hold you
over for the next break here in a couple of minutes, because I do want to get into his attorney
and also what can they do? Can they silence Donald Trump? Can you hang out for a few? Yes, sure.

indictments coming down.
President Trump's going to be leaving his apartment at the Trump Tower in a little while
and head to the arraignment in Manhattan Court.
Andrew McCarthy is with us.
He is an amazing guy.
When it comes to stuff like this, he's got it all locked up.
You can watch the McCarthy Report, the podcast or listen to it, the McCarthy Report podcast.
All of his work is fantastic on this and more.
of his work is up at national review.com, and you can follow him on Twitter at Andrew C. McCarthy.
So, Andy, tell me about the representation that Donald Trump has. Does he have a serious attorney?
Yeah, he's got good lawyers in New York, Glenn, and he added an experience, a former prosecutor, white-collar defense lawyer, who's very good, was added to the team yesterday.
And this is a business records case in the end.
So it's good to have somebody who knows the nuts and bolts of how you make a case like that and how you dismantle it.
Okay.
And there's talk about Trump saying things and them charging him with additional crimes.
If he's speaking out against the district attorney, I have heard that there's a possible gag order from the judge.
Is any of that possible with a press?
presidential candidate who's currently running?
Yeah, I don't think that there's a constitutional case for any gag order on Trump.
Now, there's a long tradition, Glenn, that judges can gag the lawyers in cases before them,
because as part of the privilege of practicing before a bar, you surrender some of your rights
and also to get discovery in the case.
You have to comply with the judge's directive.
But Donald Trump is not a volunteer.
He's being dragged in, you know, against his will, obviously, on this.
So it's not like he agreed as a price of participating in this process to surrender any of his rights.
And this is one of the, you know, million awful things that we're going to have to deal with
where you have this intrusion of law enforcement process into electoral politics,
which should never happen unless there's a really serious crime.
supported by convincing evidence.
Every day we're going to come up against some question of how this criminal process
inhibits somebody who's trying to run for office, which he's got a right to do.
But it's particularly untoward, I think, Glenn, for this to happen in New York.
And I don't mean to sound like a broken record on this.
But they have chosen in this state to make their criminal justice system infused with electoral
politics. They elect the district attorney. It's a political process from the beginning. So the idea
that Bragg, after politicizing this thing the way he's done, he can now file an indictment,
and now everybody's got to behave and act like this is all controlled by due process rules.
After he spent like months and over a year poisoning the jury pool, now Trump has to shut up
because we're worried about tainting the jury pool. I mean, that's preposterous.
ridiculous. All right. Last question. How do you see this working out in the end?
The case is presided fairly by the judge, then this case should be thrown out on the papers long before it ever gets to trial.
I think the statute of limitations. Isn't that horrifying, Andrew, that you have to say that if this case is fairly adjudicated in America?
Glenn, if you would talk, if we had this conversation three weeks ago, I would have said,
if the district attorney faithfully executes his office, then Trump will never be charged.
Right.
And now we're on to the next phase, right?
It's crazy.
Just crazy.
Andrew, thank you so much.
We look forward to hearing your words on exactly what things mean as soon as you can take a look at them.
Thank you so much.
Thanks so much, Glenn.
You bet.
Make sure you're following Andrew McCarthy.
he'll have great stuff out on it today, I'm sure.
You can follow him on Twitter at Andrew C. McCarthy.
He's not a guy that always falls the way I expect him to fall either.
I mean, he is very, very fair on all of it and speaks his mind.
And you said earlier he knows this like the back of his hand.
That is absolutely true.
And this is just he knows every little bit of how all the intricacies work here.
And it's tough because at times you kind of boil it.
down to, well, this just feels unfair.
Like the statute of limitations obviously is over.
This is ridiculous.
It's interesting to hear how far they have to stretch to get this done.
And he really laid that out, I thought, really well there.
It really is one of those situations where the last few years, I think, the only thing
that is held has been the courts, right?
Like, it feels like so many things have been overreact.
returned. So many things have gone the way that is not how our foundations were intended.
I think local and state courts have been dicey. I think you're getting that. Yeah, I think you're getting
that feeling because of the Supreme Court. I know, but that is the court. That's the system holding.
Yes, the Supreme Court. It's the only thing. I mean, we've had other good decisions as well.
But it feels like there's been a lot of things that have gone down these roads. You know, like the, you know, like the, like the, the,
the eviction ban.
Remember that?
They just threw this out there and just like,
wait a minute,
there's no way the president can do this, right?
And it got all the way there to the Supreme Court.
And the last line of defense said,
okay, no, he can't do that.
And that's the only thing holding.
Yes.
And I feel like we're at,
this is really where we are.
The system, we can't say the system has been overturned
because this is only part of the system.
Alvin Bragg is part of the system.
But as a whole,
the system is designed to overturn things like this.
You're supposed to be able to have enough checks and balances to have it so that one random guy who wants to make a name for himself and please his donors can't get away with overturning presidential candidates.
And man, I don't know.
We are near that line.
I really hope the system holds again.
I think it will in this case.
I'm not as certain in some of the others,
but this one I think is so completely ridiculous
and so obviously over the line
that I think the courts will stop this eventually.
But, you know, they're going to drag them through hell before that.
Yeah, that'll be a year.
Yeah, and it may very well be after the primary

Back, the Glenn Beck, the Glenn Beck Program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
As we look, there's not a gigantic crowd around the halls of justice in New York.
There are people that are gathered around.
I urge you to stay calm and know exactly who is by.
your side. I think January 6th, if it taught us one thing, it taught us that the people who
always chant, no justice, no peace, mean for us, no peace, no justice. And so be very, very, very
careful and know who you are aligning yourself with and keep your eyes peeled and always,
always walk towards peace and justice. Yeah, because if you do anything else,
you're going to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Correct.
Because you don't support abortion and you don't support high taxes and you don't support
socialism.
So you're going to lose if you try to do anything.
And by the way, like I obviously don't support it for a hundred other reasons.
But anything out of line with the law is going to get you in trouble when you will watch
your political opponents burn down cities and walk away free.
Yep.
That is how the society works right now.
now. And you should know it going in. You might think it's wrong, but you better understand what the
rules are. Right. And those are the rules right now. And there are ways to have your voice be heard,
things you can do. The most important thing you can do is make sure that your district attorney in
your city, that your city council, everything else, your school board is locked up tight.
You need to pay attention locally because that's where they're attacking locally.
So, you know, just button everything up.
And you can be vocal on Twitter and everything else if you feel you need to show a presence, which I think, you know, it's only the right thing to do for Donald Trump to show, you know, support for him.
He has gone through an awful lot.
And he's only going through this because he dared to stand up to them.
And they want to teach everybody a lesson.
Donald Trump is pretty good at defending himself.
Oh yeah, no, no, no.
But I mean, you know, I would like him to know that, you know, we're with you.
Thank you.
For sure.
Let me ask you this.
Do you think we're going to see any rioting, clashing, violence around today?
No.
No.
I mean, I'm obviously just asking you to predict the future here.
This isn't a way you could know.
Yeah.
And I have no idea, but I just don't know.
I mean, what about opposition?
protesters coming in
and there's a big
banner that has been unfurled
in the streets that says Trump lies all the time
like those people are out today
their plan to be there they've prepared
with giant banners
I mean could you see something
where there's clashing going from one side
and one side fights back are you worried about that today
always but I don't think that
I mean I just I hope we're not dumb enough
to walk into that trap
you know
Maybe we are, but I just, I don't see it.
Turning the other cheek is not easy.
It's something that had to be specifically encouraged.
It's something that people that march with Martin Luther King had a very hard time holding, but they did.
I mean, they had attack dogs and fire hoses and rubber bullets, and they did not respond.
When that group of people shows up, that's when I'd feel comfortable marching.
But you've got to be in a different, a completely different mindset.
I want to remind you that this is Holy Week.
We have a good Friday happening, also Passover this Friday, and Easter on Sunday.
And I would like to ask you, I think there is a, I think this is a very good case that America is just possessed.
I mean, we are just possessed.
there is real evil in our country and, you know, it's worshiping ancient gods and it's evil.
And there's no way to break this, you know, according to, you know, Jesus, I think it's in Matthew 14, maybe nine.
He talks about, you know, trying to, the apostles trying to order a demon out of somebody, couldn't get it done.
and Jesus is because you haven't fasted and prayed.
The only way to break this is through fast and prayer.
So I would really like to invite you to join me on fasting and praying and telling everybody
you can to join us, fast and pray for the breaking of evil in our country and, you know,
some divine providence to break our way.
And if you don't know how to fast, look up in Isaiah 584, he talks about.
You know, the people are fasting and it's, and God's not, you know, responding.
And so they ask God and he says, well, your fasts lead to quarreling and fighting, lashing out with violent blows.
Yeah, that's probably, he's probably saying that to the women who are like, I'm hungry.
And they get hungry and it's ugly.
He says, that's not a fast.
If the object is to hang your head like a reed and spread sackcloth and ashes under yourself, not a fast.
Here's what I want.
Releasing those unjustly bound, untieing.
the thongs of the yoke, letting the oppressed go free, breaking every yoke, sharing your food
with the hungry, taking the homeless poor into your home, clothing the naked when you see them,
fulfilling your duty to your kinsmen. That's how you fast. It's not just a diet. It's not just
eating or not eating. It's prayerfully sacrificing and doing the things that
are our duty towards our kinsmen.
Join me, will you, and spread the word this Friday,
a fast and prayer for our nation.
The Glenn Beck Program.
You're right, this is a somber moment for America.
It is a solemn time for America.
It's really a surreal moment.
It will be a solemn and somber moment.
But I do think that it is a somber day
that we're seeing a former person.
president, you know, criminally charged, but it's a reminder that no one's above the law.
Love or loathe Donald Trump, it's a sad day for America.
Well, you know, it's obviously a somber moment, and it's a sad moment.
How would you counsel people that we're looking at a moment that we ought not be celebrating
because it's a sad moment?
Eric Swallow issued a statement calling the indictment, quote, a somber day for America.
Adam Schiff, who was one of the managers who led Trump's first impeachment trial, told MSNV.
sees Rachel Maddow last night that the indictment marks a sad and sobering day.
You called Trump's indictment a solemn day for our nation.
As of tonight, it's a sad moment, but the president of the United States, the former president, is not above the law.
Wow. It is a sobering and somber and surreal and sad and spaghetti sort of day.
I'll just look for another estimate. Well, you miss solemn.
Sollum.
Solem.
Solem day, too.
Thank you.
And slalom.
It's a slalom.
It's like a slalom downhill.
So here's a sponsor this, F-Hourour.
It's real estate agents I trust.
The sun is setting on your first day in the new house.
All that paperwork, all that labor, all that time and energy spent in the process of moving your family from one location to another, finally over.
And as you sit there on the couch with your arm around your spouse,
house, you look around and you think, wow, how much easier has the process been because we had
an amazing real estate agent? And where the hell is he now? Because we have all these boxes to
unpack. Why can't he show up now? He made everything else so easy. Did I go off the rails?

I trust.com. Wow, the protesters are there, Stu.
Donald Trump's not there
Donald Trump's not there
He's going to be leaving soon
Very soon
He's getting ready to leave
And
I can't wait for him to get ready to leave
What a moment
That will be
What a
solemn
Saddening
Salam salty kind of day
It is
Is there part of you that
Because part of me
Like
We all know the real serious
parts of this
but like it's also just fun to watch Donald Trump completely with a remote control
manipulate the media to do whatever he wants.
Oh yeah.
Like here's a thing.
There's no doubt in my mind he wins.
No matter he could be in prison, but he will win.
You know what I mean?
There's no doubt.
He is very good at this.
And of course, they're playing along with it as well.
I mean, look, if Donald Trump didn't want 15 helicopters,
above his head as he drove from Mar-a-Lago and then from the, you know, to, from the airport to
Trump Tower.
He could have called net jets and said, hey, I'm going to take a plane, not the Trump plane,
but a separate plane.
And we're going to leave at 11.15 p.m. the night before.
We're going to fly through the night.
And then we're going to get off.
We'll be at Trump Tower before anyone wakes up.
There is a 100% chance that someone within the Donald Trump camp told all the media the exact time
he was leaving. So they could all be up there and watch him go because Donald Trump wants that.
He knows this is his game to play. And he is literally programming every major news network
today. Oh, I'm so, he does this better than anybody. He, I'm telling you, I'm telling you,
the media should charge him rent. He's living in their head all the time. And they, of course,
act like they are sad and somber. No, it's just sad and somber and sobering. Sober and.
sobering, it's a sobering, somber,
solemn, sad day.
It is. And they act that way.
And then they also act like they don't like it,
which of course they do. They want,
they know this is going to bring in the ratings.
They know people are going to be hate watching it.
They know people are going to be tuning in.
And they're happy. And they're happy.
And of course.
They believe, you know, like Stalin did,
show me the person and I'll find the crime.
They want to see this guy get in trouble.
And then, of course, they also, I think,
and this is the part that is highly questionable on their behalf
because they've already been burned by this philosophy
but they they want Trump to win this primary
they want Trump to be the guy that Joe Biden faces
because they think they can beat him
and they've been burned by that belief before
but so have we we I mean
how Biden
you want Biden because he's beatable
no Biden was the one
that beat Trump.
And, you know, in 16, they were like, yeah, we want him for Hillary because Hillary will kill him.
And they got burned.
Oh, yeah.
And then we felt, how can you lose to this guy?
And the answer is cheating.
But, you know, I don't know how it's going to come out this time.
If you listen to their telling, this is how they see this story.
2016, one, this is really what they believe.
Crazy.
hacking probably
you know he didn't tell anybody about the stormy
Daniels thing that would have changed things
and we focused too much
on the Hillary email scandal
and that was just a quirky thing
and it was before people knew what Trump would be like as a president
and and we gave him too much airtime
and we gave him too much air time which again is a strange thing that
they seem to be doing again this time
but then what they see
as what again I'm not endorsing
this narrative but their narrative is
in 2018
people saw Trump in office
and a bunch of the candidates
he recommended lost. We were able
to have more success in 2018
than we expected.
2020, we understood the Trump playbook.
We knew how to beat him. We did.
We went out there and we got it done.
2022. Trump's
candidates got beat up pretty
badly in the election.
They performed, I think the stat is
five points behind
non-Trump endorsed candidates.
And we have a playbook.
We know how to beat this guy.
Even with our terrible president who's doing a terrible job, we can beat this guy.
What's their plan to beat Rhonda Santis?
You saw it with Charlie Christ.
He lay off by 19 points in Florida, which used to be a swing state.
And in the previous election, was a 0.4% difference.
Now, I'm not saying they're right on that analysis because there's a lot of variables here.
And if they truly believed that Donald Trump was a unique threat to democracy, surely they would.
not be doing what they're doing. Surely they would not be doing what they're doing. Because if you
put anybody in a two-person race, either side can win. We are in a, what's the biggest blowout
election over the last, I don't know, in this era of partisanship? Probably McCain Obama, right?
Obama blew out McCain. That was, you know what that, what that margin was popular vote-wise?
I want to say it was 53-46. Okay. These are not blow-out elections. We are not in an era of
blowout elections. And so... And I don't know, that's why I say, I don't know how this one wins.
I mean, this one ends up. I don't know if Donald Trump or Ronda Sanders or anybody is a blowout
by it. You could have unemployment and depression happening. And I'm not sure Joe Biden is beatable.
because of the system and the way our mentality is right now.
Everybody's just like, bad, bad, they're good, they're bad.
And they're not thinking at all.
I mean, we're in an era where basically 46% is the floor for either one of these two parties.
Right.
So you're talking about a really small, narrow window for either side to win.
They think they can do it because they believe in the middle there,
that 8% that might decide an election, at least 5% of those people will never vote for Donald Trump.
Now, they may be very wrong on that, but that is what they believe.
And that explains the way they're handling this.
They want to elevate Trump in the primary because they think they can beat him.
They may very well be wrong on that.
But that is what they believe.
And they also hate his guts, of course.
All that's true, too.
I mean, they hate his guts.
They want him to be in physical, mental anguish, whatever they can.
I mean, this is going to be amazing because this is only one of five.
He's got five cases going against him right now.
Yeah.
And the others are varying.
Like you've got a tax situation, which, you know, is not at all sexy, right?
Like there's not much, you know, going on there.
You have the documents one, which I believe to be the absolute least interest.
and least impactful.
Everyone's like, oh, these documents.
The guy was already present in the United States.
He already saw all of these documents.
It's not like he's stealing information.
The fact that he's storing them in a place you didn't like might be a minor violation of...
Well, we know it's a minor violation because everybody seemed to have them.
Yeah, I know.
Everyone seems to have them.
I mean, the only ones in America that don't have them are you, me, and the listener.
I have three.
Okay, so it's just you and me right now.
You know, Stu's got him.
I've got it.
So like that you have that.
Then you have the two January 6th or election related.
You have the January 6 major one about all of it with riots and all that other stuff that they're trying to go anywhere.
Hard to believe, especially watching the committee, which was a joke.
And it was a joke.
And you have the Georgia one, which is potentially more interesting if you're a person who on the left who wants to take out Trump just because you have the combination of brag, right, where you have a.
local sort of person going through this and can kind of take a lot of liberties that you might not
take at the national level. And you have, you know, you have a phone call. You have probably a lot
of text messages they have of people exchanging information in a chaotic time. Who knows what was
said by who they've already said basically they're going to, they're going to indict some people
in that. The four, the jury is like coming out doing interviews about it. Yeah. So, I mean,
that one you could definitely. I couldn't wait to get Trump. We were just waiting. Oh, yeah.
Totally. I mean, it's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy.
Just crazy.
The smaller this stuff gets, in some ways, the more realistic it gets because you get people
who are local prosecutors who don't care, right, about a lot of these traditional walls that
have been put up to stop this type of behavior.
They'll just do it anyway to heighten their own profiles.
So I think those should worry him more.
But the bottom line is like when you get into, their bet is you had a really close election in
2016 that Trump squeaked out.
In 2020, you had a really close election.
election that Biden squeaked out. Since 2020, you've had January 6th. You've had an impeachment
that didn't go anywhere, but still was an impeachment. A lot of people hear that is bad. You have
going to have multiple indictments that have come down against him. And, you know, the fact that
he's talking still a lot about the 2020 election is not going to necessarily win over a lot
of people who were undecided or on the fence in the 2020 back and forth. So you're just, that's
the formula they see. And that's the reason why
They believe a battle between Trump and Biden is one they can win.
And look, I think that is really, really risky for them.
Especially when you know that we are headed towards economic instability.
Yeah.
I mean, you add an economic firestorm in all of this,
and Trump will look like the businessman that he is, and he'll remind people,
do you remember what it was like?
It's a great point.
I was like when I was in, yeah, they screwed it up.
I fixed it. We'll fix it again.
And the main reason I think it's important to highlight this is the disingenuousness of this idea
that they believe he's some unique threat to democracy.
And they're so patriotic they have to stop him.
They would be doing the same.
They would not be doing this.
If he dropped dead today, they would take all of those words and just add, take Donald Trump out and add Ron DeSantis.
And they would say the other words, two words they would add is even worse.
Even worse. Even worse.
That Ron DeSantis is even when they've already, they already started it when they thought DeSantis was going to win and or was starting to become competitive.
And he's not even in the race yet.
They're still already saying it.
And if DeSantis wins, they will unite around the message that he is worse than Trump.
None of this means anything to them.
None of it means anything.
These are all lies.
And they are continuing to go down this road making calculations.
about this. I mean, they are telling you the entire country is going to collapse if Donald Trump is
president and they are acting with every ounce of their being to get him through the primary. Why?
If they actually cared about the country or believed that, then they wouldn't be doing this.
But they, of course, don't care about the country or and or don't believe that Donald Trump is
some unique threat to democracy. Well, he's not the threat that Mitt Romney was.
And who's the worst guy ever before George W. Bush or before McCain and then Bush and then going back.
And the only one I ever agree with him on is Mitt Romney.
So let me tell you about our sponsor this F hour.
It's gold line.
Law of nature on how money and society works.
When you're in an economic tailspin and headed full speed towards what looks like a very hard patch of concrete,
that's when precious metals like gold begin.
to appreciate a whole lot and very fast.
I had somebody yesterday asked me,
so you believe in gold or silver?
And I told him, I said,
I can't tell you because all of my precious metals
is in the bottom of a lake right now.
I had a bad boating accent.
But if I were to buy some,
I would buy some silver as well as gold.
because if this really gets bad.
I mean, CNBC is now saying gold prices will rise between 25 and 2,600 per ounce soon.
Soon.
Once you get up in the 3,000, 2,500, 3,000 plus, it's crazy town.
Okay, it's crazy town.
How are you going to break if, you know, gold is $5,000 an ounce because everything is collapsed?
Hey, you've got a quarter ounce of gold.
Can you break 2000?
No.
This is when I think silver is going to play a big role.
Get your hands on all of the information now.

Taking the museum out, my collection, a part of David Barton's collection and Mercury 1,
the American Journey experience going on the road this 4th of July and Independence weekend.
It's going to happen from, I think it's March 23rd or something like that.
Just check, sorry, not March, May, June,
23rd, sorry, June 23rd through July 4th.
Just keep showing up on any 23rd.
Yeah.
Just see all the 20 thirds.
And it might not even be the 23rd.
It's going to be around.
Anyway, you're good at this.
Just check it out.
Is Glenn a member of some large organization that celebrates radio history?
There you have it.
Another example of why Glenn Beck is in the Radio Hall of Fame.
Way to go, Glenn.
You can only...
We think.
You can only be inducted once.
So why try?
more.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
You don't have to try anymore.
I don't have to try anymore.
You can't reverse it at this point.
You're already in.
No, can't kick you out.
So anyway, unless you're Donald Trump, I think if he was in it, they would find a way to kick him out.
They would.
Anyway, just get your tickets, make a plan with your family and join me.
It's in St. George, Utah, this summer, and you can find the tickets at UnitedWe Pledge.
com.
Is it org?
Is that what it is?
Is it org?
Oh, my gosh.
You're an embarrassment.
You are an embarrassment to this industry.
Unitedwe pledge.org slash tickets.
Unitedwe pledge.org slash tickets.
There you go.
Shut up.
Stop it.
I'm going to.
Oh, my gosh.
Hey, I'm listening to a book.
Who's the guy that did the Shamita and the Harbinger?
Harbinger, what was his name?
Con?
Yeah, Jonathan Conn.
So I'm, I'm...
Con!
No, I think that was a different...
That's a different con?
That was a different con.
I've been listening to his book lately, the Return of the Gods.
It is really good.
It is really, really good.
And do you remember when we had the Isle Moloch, oh, so many years ago?
And I made the case in that book that we were worshipping the ancient gods.
and I've been telling you that for a while.
Well, he's put it all together.
I mean, he's smarter than I am.
And so he wrote a book about it.
But he's put three gods together, this unholy trinity, that he claims that we are worshipping, and I believe him, whether we know it or not, all of the rituals that go along with these three gods, terrifying.
And we're doing all of them as a society.
society and it's not good.
It's going to be suboptimal.
It's like, I don't know, I don't know if you read that the L.A. County Jail is, they're
thinking about just letting everybody go.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
And I'm thinking, I'm interested to see how that works out for them.
Well, I'm sure.
I'm sure it's going to be well.
I kind of feel like that's what God's saying to us right now.
Huh.
worshipping those three gods.
Hmm.
I'm interested to see how that works out for you.
Tell me more.
Tell me more.
Let me sip some tea with curate.
Not really.
It's suboptimal.
Suboptimal is a good word for it.
We're going to be talking about how America has fallen into evil.
There's a new movie coming out called Nefarious.
It has its premiere in Dallas here tonight.
We're going to be going.
And one of the stars who you may know,
from other TV shows and movies is going to be joining us.
He started out as the young Indiana Jones in the Chronicles of Indiana Jones.

A couple of questions for you.
First question is if you're suffering from constant or frequent pain,
how long you've been going through that?
Have you had enough?
I'm sure you have months, years.
And I know you've tried everything.
You've gone to every doctor you listen to everything.
You've tried different things and, you know, the only thing that works, maybe doesn't really take away the pain, just makes you care less.
Because you're just like, yeah, I mean, I am an excruciating pain, but I don't really care all that much.
How about getting your life back?
Getting out of pain.
I discovered, and when I say discovered, I mean, my wife discovered and then forced me to take it.
Well, it didn't force me.
She just highly recommended it.
because she said, I won't listen to you whine anymore.
And I'm like, that's what you do.
Anyway, I got Relief Factor.
I'm out of pain.
May I highly recommend that you just try the three-week quick start?
Try it for three weeks.
Take it as directed.
70% of the people who do that find themselves ordering month after month because they're
out of pain or greatly reduced.
Please try it.

Execution scheduled for 11 p.m.
If he's trying to convince us, he's gone insane.
And therefore incapable of being executed.
I need you to prove he's faking it.
Edward?
I'm going to ask you some questions.
I'm not Edward.
Demons aren't really a thing.
You have your head so twisted around and you think you're the killer.
Not him.
And give me something to make me believe you.
Prove to me you're a demon.
That is.
I want to talk to...
The real... Edward.
Makes me do that.
I can't stop him.
I need you to see something.
You got a fan.
Did the same thing with all his victims.
Me.
I'm trying to, Edward, but you have to answer my questions.
You have to tell me the truth.
It won't let me...
It can go away.
It can go away.
Yes?
This is a trailer for the movie Nefarious.
It premieres tonight.
It releases nationwide April 14th.
It is very, very powerful, especially with everything that is going on.
I mean, I think evil has swept the country, and most people don't recognize it.
And that's kind of what this story is all about.
Sean Patrick Flannery is the guy who plays Nefarious.
and Sean, I just told you this off the air
and I mean this sincerely.
I don't say this very often.
You deserve an Oscar for this role.
I mean, it is, it's fantastic.
Did you see split by any chance, Stu?
Okay, remember how great that was and he played it so well,
even better here.
And the dynamic range is remarkable.
I mean, this movie pretty much.
takes place in one room, and you hold the audience riveted for 90 minutes. It's amazing.
I really appreciate that. I do. Thank you. So you were in, in case people, you know, don't recognize the name,
Boondock Saints. He was in Suicide Kings, simply irresistible. He was in the strip. He just played
gunpowder in the boys. He's on Dexter.
and now he's in Steve Dase's film,
which is got to be kind of, you have to say,
wow, I've fallen really way off.
You know, I've got to say, you know, in my opinion,
you know, these roles, you know, the director, Chuck and Kerry,
I worked with them for the first time in 2004,
and they're two of the most amazing writers I've ever worked with,
And I told them, after shooting that film, I said, I would do a Fruit Loops commercial with you guys.
And they called me a year and a half ago, and they said, we have a Fruit Loops commercial.
And I said, I'm in, put me in, coach.
They sent me the script.
And to me, these roles are why you get into the business.
These are roles are why you move away from home and get a roommate on Craigslist.
That is like a lifetime kind of role, once in a lifetime kind of role, where you are 90 minutes.
It's all based on your act.
I've never seen an actor with the entire movie on his back,
but that's the way this movie is because it's all about nefarious,
which is like the Screw Tapes letter from C.S. Lewis,
and you play a demon-possessed individual.
Yeah, yeah.
It's, it's, this to me, like I said, is why you move out.
It's, and, you know, it's also a film.
that I stand behind. I think it's arguably the most, inarguably, the most important film I've ever done.
It's, you know, as a dad, as a father, it's things that I firmly, stoutly believe in.
It's really, you know, back in the 70s when I was a kid, we had the Exorcist, and, you know, that had a lot of special effects and everything else.
and this doesn't have any special effects.
And it is as terrifying as that was because it's real.
And what you're doing is you're talking to this guy across the table in the prison before you're executed.
And he's trying to either prove that you're insane or not.
And you are, as the demon, you're excited to tell him all about it.
And he doesn't believe it.
He just doesn't believe that demons are real.
Well, I think it's a little bit shocking, surprising,
and also not surprising,
that what the devil would potentially say is that accessible.
You know, what he says, you completely understand.
And it laid out in the way that they wrote the script,
it completely makes sense in pursuit of what you would imagine Satan's goal would be.
Right.
And he's executing it flawlessly.
And it is so, when you've popped.
back from the body, the soul of the guy that Nefarious has taken.
And you see the torture that that guy is in and will forever be in is, my gosh, it's just so powerful when you see him.
You know, help me, help me, help me, please.
And then back in.
The character is kind of let out for just a, you know, I don't know, it's a play thing or something.
Well, you know, I think there has to be brief glimpses of who the real person is, you know,
interspersed with, you know, the display of Satan embodying this person.
But, but it starts in the writing.
It honestly does.
When things are written that well, it's, it makes the process of,
of acting, just easy.
What was the filming like?
Was it different than other movies?
It was very different.
You know, I think we initially had 20, 21 days to shoot it.
When we showed up, the first day, there was protesters picketing outside about some,
presumably some union issues.
And so they...
Really?
Protesters for a union issue?
Yes, yes.
Yeah, figured that out.
Yeah.
And so they shut us down.
And we just kind, I was parked in my hotel for about five, six days.
And Chuck and Kerry called.
And they said, okay, you know, we're back up.
They had to completely recrue.
So they had to fly out of Brent, a whole new crew.
And then we ended up shooting everything that you see there, at least at the table, I shot in eight days.
Wow.
And to make it, you know, I, I, you know, they said we can, we can get.
more days, but it'll push through Christmas. And I said, I have to be home for my family on Christmas
so let's load up the work days. Let's get it done so I can go home for Christmas Eve. I still
hadn't bought my wife a present. It's kind of a tradition that we go to Ace Hardware on Christmas
Eve and get her robe and a lot of things. So I couldn't miss that. So we, I mean, I think the first day,
we shot 17 pages of all dialogue at a table. And it had to be exhausting because this is, this is
physical, even though you're not, you know, standing up a lot of times, it had to just consume your
energy. Yeah, you know, that kind of work does. You know, at the end of the day, memorization is,
is, you know, anybody can do it. It just requires homework. You know, a lot of people don't
have the discipline to do the homework, but, you know, there's so many aspects to, you know,
bringing a character to life realistically. The least you can do, I think, is show up and know
the words. The least. Now, now, if I believe the words of
not, that's subjective, but at the least I can do is show up, in other words. So it did require
some homework on that end. But again, when the information is so relatable, it's easy to process
it and make it permanent, for me at least. And everything did make sense. The way that they
laid this story out, the way that he conveyed, you know, what his goal was, you know, citing scripture,
etc. It's a
it was a
it was a relatively easy process
for me. It's interesting
because it is a god movie
but unlike any god movie
you've ever seen. This is just one
that pretty much says
wake the hell up.
Wake up because this is real
and this is happening and you're being sucked
into it and you have absolutely no idea.
It's really, really
effective. So
any thoughts
Was there any hesitation on taking a Christian film, if you will, on, you know, I mean, you know, you're just in the boys, not exactly a Christian film.
Are you worried about being associated with something like this for your career?
I'm not to the point that would stop me from doing it.
You know, at my core, I have to be true to myself.
I think it's important film.
I think it's one of the proudest.
I'm more proud of this than probably.
I appreciate that.
The 95% of the other films I've done, that's an understatement, probably 99.
And I have to say that I wouldn't sleep at night if I passed on it for those reasons.
But yes, throughout my career, I'm very lucky.
I've made a career out of doing films that mostly nobody sees.
But I haven't had to get a real job.
When I was eight years old, I threw papers.
I worked for Alice fan lines, moving pianos.
I worked at Church's Fried Chicken.
I literally dug ditches.
I put culverts under driveway, so I know what real work is.
And this is certainly not real work.
But I do understand the ramifications of being attached to a film like this,
but it's part of my soul.
It's things that I believe in fairly strongly.
And I wish the best for everybody out there.
I hope it can potentially steer people in the right direction.
I hope the message is received.
And if the repercussions are negative on me, then I'll take them.
Deal with it.
Yeah, I'll deal with it.
Sean, thank you so much.
Honestly, just tremendous, tremendous.
It was a privilege to watch you.
It's rare that you get to see an actor get the right script and then just run with it.
And it was convincing and real and beautiful.
Just great job.
Well, from my heart.
I appreciate that.
I really do.
Sean Patrick Flannery.
He is the actor in Nefarious that plays.
Nefarious is the role that you play, right?
Yeah, Nefarious.
What was the other guy's name that you play?
He, his, Jordan Belfy is the name of the actor?
No, no, no, no, no.
The other guy, no, no, the other guy that you play.
Oh, Edward.
Edward.
Edward, yes, sir.
Yeah.
Nefarious and Edward.
He plays both of them in this, and it's really an amazing performance.
It's Sean Patrick Flannery.
Go to get your tickets.
It opens up April 14th.
Who is nefarious.com.
Again, who is nefarious.com?
Well worth your time.
Back in a minute.
Here's something you might not have considered before.
What if you, what if your home?
Your home was your bank?
I mean, I trust my home more than I trust my bank, so probably be good.
Of course, if my home collapsed,
I don't think I'd get a bailout, but that's a different story.
If you are struggling with making payments for credit cards or anything else, please look at your home as a bank.
There is a chance for you to refinance your mortgage and consolidate.
Now, I know the interest rates are, what, 5, 6% now if you would consolidate your loans.
However, if you are up to your neck in credit cards, that's like $2,000.
21%. The average is now 20 to 21%. You're never going to get out from behind the eight ball on that.

The Glenn Beck Program.
You know, I know a lot of people in the country are like, Glenn, what are you talking about when you say evil?
is taking over and is everywhere.
You're right.
Here's a teacher talking about what she does in school.
She's very proud of this on TikTok.
Go ahead.
I teach in an explicitly trans-affirming high school.
We have gender support plans.
We have a gender-affirming wardrobe at our school.
We have binders on demand for our students
and other shapewear can easily be ordered.
We have students that express themselves in all
manner of different ways and I couldn't be prouder to work in a school that's so amazing.
Right. I mean, I've got binders. You know, I like to, these are different, these are different
types of binders for women. Yeah. Yeah. These are, these aren't the Mitt Romney kind. No. No.
No. These are binding women in other ways. Yeah. And I think everybody should be proud of binders.
You know, it's like I've always, I've always loved the Chinese when they used to bind
women's feet.
Really?
I, no, it is, it's beautiful.
It's a beautiful way to show you, show people, I love you.
And you can't run from me.
I think it's, I think it was beautiful back in those days, you know, back in the dark ages when they used to do that.
And I think it's beautiful when women are binding themselves now.
Beautiful.
Yeah, no, it's, it's, it's something, as the teacher said, it's something to be proud.
of. You know, any time you can try to confuse a child out of their gender, you should be proud
of that effort. And, you know, that's why we support scientific-based gender affirming care.
Right. Well, it's not scientific-based. And in fact, there's a real, I don't know if you know.
It's not affirming either. It's the opposite of affirming. The rest of the world is kind of going
in another direction. I don't know if you've noticed this. But they're not going to
in the same direction as us.
I don't know if you saw the
story of
Boston, you know, the hospital, the Children's Hospital
in Boston, which just said
just what?
A year ago? Maybe.
Yeah. We're not doing any of that stuff.
Now they're saying, we got to double
our efforts on this.
What happened? What happened?
They're not even trying to. No, they're not. They're not.
All right. We will see you
tomorrow on the big program show thing that we do and really honestly do so well.
We'll see you tomorrow.
