Let me tell you about Good Ranchers. They're our spotlight sponsor. Did you know there used to be a country of origin labeling law, which kept you from falsely applying the Made in the USA sticker to your meat if it wasn't actually from here? Well, that got repealed. So these days, meat in the grocery aisle is suspect. You don't know where it's coming from. And 85% of grass-fed beef in stores is imported from overseas. Do you like that? I probably not. And if you like good ranchers, and you know, all about this already. They're committed to 100% all American meats. Their products are born, raised, and harvested right here in the U.S. and are free from antibiotics, hormones, seed oils, all that stuff. So no shortcuts, no compromises, just the quality you deserve.

We have been joined for the first time in the last few days by perhaps I would guess the most obnoxious person on the face of the planet right now.

That's right. Sadly, Stubergears Eagles won the Super Bowl. And then, didn't just win. Geez. They crushed the Chiefs.

We'll get into that. And so much more, there's so much to get into. And we'll do that in 60 seconds. So before we do that, just a moment, I want you to think about what it would look like to be out of debt. It would kind of feel like your team winning the Super Bowl on your birthday. That's what it would be like, especially the... That's right.

Happy birthday, too, by the way, what, two days ago. Yeah, yeah, two days ago. So pretty... It's a fun day. And it was a lot of good stuff coming together. That was the Super Bowl Day. It was a nice little present for you, wasn't it? It was.

It was incredible. It was incredible. I guess that's what it feels like when you just get out of debt for that first time. I remember doing that. First time getting out of debt. We went to, this is back in the day. You can see how long it was ago back of the day. We went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse to celebrate.

Got immediately back into debt with that meal. But it was a lot of fun. American financing is a great place if you want to get to that position because they can help you refinance your debt. They can help you work through it. Imagine saving up to $800 a month on all those payments. Give yourself a $10,000 raise. That's how it feels like when you can get all these high interest loans to go away.

It's a big, big change in your life and it can lead to so much. Call American Financing right now, 800906 2440, 8009062440, or go to Americanfinancing. Dot net. It is Americanfinancing. Dot net.

No, right? It's interesting. I'm just a Mr. Big Chiefs fan. No show today, huh? Do you talk to him about it yesterday? Yeah, we talked, yes, we did. And how did he feel? Can you give me a little sense?

It was a little bummed. Yeah. Yeah. The Super Bowl party at his house ended rather abruptly at the half time. I did get a report that the ranch was a bit solemn. Yeah. That was the report I got from the ranch, which is it made me a little happy. And again, look, the Chiefs have had so much success.

They have. Yeah, they have. The first time I went to the Super Bowl was the Eagles in, you know, early 2000s against the Patriots. and the Patriots like you'd think oh that team's got a bust on you on the way home on the bus you're like they're going to be all over you and just be like oh yeah our team got your team not at all they were like hey you know you guys did well

good job getting to this game because the Patriots were so used to it at that point you know they'd won three of four Super Bowls or whatever it was and that's kind of where the chiefs are they're like we're probably going to win five more of these things so good job you know like that they're they're great fans and it's a great organization Mahomes is awesome it's a great team it is

They've got a great coach who used to be the coach of the team you love. I know. And it would have been tough to see him take away another Super Bowl from the Eagles. Isn't he the only coach who's ever been the coach with the most wins at two franchises? Being Philadelphia and Kansas City. That sounds right. Yeah. Yeah.

I think he's the only one ever. He's the only one also who has a shot at getting the all-time win record. He keeps going on this rate. He's only, what, 30 games or something behind? Yeah. Chiefs are great. And if you're a Chiefs fan, I feel for you, although, you know, you've had your run here, which is great. It was good to see, though, the Eagles, I mean, really dominated that game from the very beginning. It was just a bad game.

I said yesterday, I think only Eagles fans could have enjoyed that. Yeah, I could see that. It was a, it was a, it was a, it was an absolute domination. It was a beat down. Yeah, it really was. I mean, they got a couple garbage time touchdowns. at the very end to make the score look a little respectable, but, geez, it was it was not a 40 to 22 game. It was more like a 40 to 6 game. Yeah. And I understand that like, you know,

this is not a sports show when we could do, I could do sports talk on this all day long. But I will say it was fascinating to see it was just an absolute destruction. And it was, it's different. I think every Super Bowl, you know, we've been doing these things for a long. I was at my 20th Super Bowl. 20? So, yeah. We were trying to figure that out the other day, huh? How many of you'd actually been to? 20 Super Bowls. Nice.

Did you wait again until the last minute to get the tickets? Or did you have them when you win? This one was, we got them. That was pretty last minute. It's always last minute. Yeah. You know, I don't want to advise people too much on this because it would cost money for me. But basically, like, what happens every single Super Bowl?

If your team's ever going to go, I'll give you this. Because I want people in this audience to get better values. What happens is your team wins. the championship game. Everyone gets really excited. They go, oh my gosh, my team's in the Super Bowl. We should go! And they pump themselves up.

And over the next 24 to 48 hours, they decide to go buy tickets. And so that is almost always where the highest price tickets go. 24 to 48 hours after the championship games. Because the teams in those cities are, we got to go, we got to go, what are we going to do? And now I will say, if your wife is going to say no,

and you need the emotion to get over that hump, okay, you can buy them that day. But it's going to be crazy. You're going to pay the highest price possible. The lowest prices are typically Tuesday to Thursday before the game. So skip that whole first week. Yeah, skip that whole first week. And you go Tuesday to Thursday.

This game in particular was a really weird situation because the prices were really low. This is probably the lowest price Super Bowl as compared to face value. that I can remember in years and years and years and years. Part of that is probably Chiefs fatigue. Part of it is Eagles versus Chiefs. Both of those teams have been there recently.

You know, if it was Detroit Buffalo or something, the tickets, I'm sure, would have been sky high. Yeah. The other thing was the, I don't know if they're just using more and more hotel rooms in these cities because the operation's getting so much even bigger than it used to be. But, and also that New Orleans is a city, they've had their issues.

I don't know if you've heard this, Pat. Over the past 20 years or so, there have been some incidents that have hurt the growth of New Orleans. No. Yeah. Yeah. Let me give an example of this. So after the game, on Monday, you know, my son and I, we have got like an hour to kill before we go to the airport, which, by the way, it was a terrible idea. Because we did not have an hour to kill because I've never seen an airport like that in my entire life.

After going to 20 Super Bowls, never seen a worse airport. It was a madhouse. And we had to run to get our flight. And the only reason we made it was because it was delayed. Anyway, we had this supposed hour to kill. And I'm like, what I want to go do is drive by Six Flags New Orleans. Because Six Flags New Orleans was a amusement part that they built in like the early 2000, I don't want to say, 2002, 2003. And then a couple years after they built it, there was this issue with a little storm that rolled in.

And kind of wiped the city out. So they just gave up on it. Like it was built. It was open. they closed it for the weekend and it never opened again. Nope. A whole amusement park. Wow.

And so it's to the point now, and I'm fascinated with this type of stuff where... Do they maintain it or do they do anything with it? They just let it go? There was a talk at the very beginning. What do we do? Do we rebuild? And they eventually got to the point where like, nope, it's just, it's going to be a white elephant. It's really interesting.

Yeah. So you go drive by it on the highway and there's just a giant roller coaster that just kind of starts going down the drop and then just. just the track stops and it just drops off. There's nothing. There's like Ferris wheels with carts at the top just missing, right? Just at some point fell off. You know, it's all just.

So track has actually broken off. Yeah. Or did they just not finish it in the first place? No, it was done. It was done. It had been open, I believe. Wow. And it was totally done.

And it was going to be open the next weekend. That's what they were planning. And then they just never went back. So there's been some people who have broken in and taken real footage of the inside. It's fascinating. look at there's a documentary made on and stuff it's it's one of those things i like i'll go this afternoon i'm watching that documentary that is fascinating yeah okay i'm gonna be down that rabbit for sure we do have a couple of those same weird and we do like really tall buildings

like there's a couple things pat and i wills have 45 minute conversations like do you see the skyscraper they're building in Saudi Arabia it's that's a so i didn't know this was one of yours yes it is there's a the abandoned uh photography like i have a by book on it. I think it's fascinating. These, these, you know, modern things that get abandoned and just decay. So I was fascinated to go see this. And so I went out to that and drove by it, which it was as expected. You can't see that much from the highway, but it is really, really interesting to look at. And so I went down to the next exit and turned around. Pat, if I were to describe to you, like an apocalyptic scene from a movie. I'm looking at some of the photos now. Yeah,

it's incredible to see that park. It's really something. Jeez. And but that one I knew about. I had seen the insides. You know, it is really, really incredible. The next exit, I turned around. Pat, I've never seen anything like it. It had looked like no one had been there in 15 years off of an exit off a major highway. Really? And it is coat on both sides of the off ramp.

You know, the little turnaround when you just come back to go the other way. Both sides of it just stacked up tires all over the place. sofas you know it looked like there was all there was stuff here and it just all washed

into this area and they just never bothered to pick it up I've never seen anything like it in the United States of America it felt like I was in some war-torn land I mean I mean seriously

it was the most bizarre thing and I'm just driving through this and I was like it was creepy it was 10 out of 10 creepy 10 out of 10 creepy and I'm just like I'm driving through this like the

the streets just had stuff all over them, like, as if there hadn't been a car that had driven off of this exit in 15 years. How do you let that happen? It was really, it's depressing. And like they, a lot of the city, they kind of, and parts of it are great. And, you know, of course, the downtown, they did a great job. The Super Bowl is, you know, that downtown area is tough to beat from a central party area,

obviously. Like, you know, it's got, it's positives. But it is, you realize, you know, it's completely devastated. So there's not like a lot of new hotels. There's not a lot of stuff down there. So the tickets for the game wound up going down partially because the tickets for tickets, the rooms in these hotels were so expensive that people were looking at it. Like, hey, I want to go down to the Super Bowl. Oh, I can't get a room anywhere in the city for even a mildly normal price for a hotel.

Like even with the expanded typical Super Bowl prices, they were through the roof. and so it was a weird it was a weird you know city we were kind of we stayed out we stayed 10 15 minutes out of the city which made it a lot easier but it was it was a it's a strange environment and I've never seen security like it I well they just had terrorism there they had a terrorist attack and there was a there's a guy who went to the game pretty famous Donald Trump so between those true things that's true yeah in the city holy crap man it was it was serious they took it seriously and they did a great job with the security. His welcome was pretty impressive.

Was it not? Yeah. I mean, he gets wildly cheered and Taylor Swift gets wildly booed. Yeah. Did it feel that way in the stadium? Yeah, sort of. The Trump thing did feel that way. Very, he got on the screen, immediate, really strong applause.

A little bit. You could hear a little bit of negative after the positive, like in the stadium. It wasn't overwhelming. I would say it was, it felt like a. you know, 70, 30, 80, 20 type of thing. That was positive. The Taylor Swift thing felt, I think, totally different in the stadium than it did to people that I've seen reaction on.

Yeah. Where everyone's like, oh, she got booed. I know Trump was kind of going after her for getting booed and played the footback. In the stadium, it felt very good-natured. Really? I've heard Philadelphia Eagles fans boo stuff before, usually their own coach. So I've heard that, I've heard the visceral hatred of somebody.

That is not what it felt like. It felt kind of like, look, she's, She's an Eagles fan. She grew up outside of Philadelphia. Probably going to marry an eagle or a Kansas City Chiefs. And she's now wearing a Chief. It was like, all right, you turn coat. You know, we know.

It was sort of that sort of vibe. It was much more like. I didn't know she used to be an Eagles fan. Yeah, she grew up in, I think, Redding, which is right outside of Philly. She was an Eagles fan her whole life. And then, you know, she's dating Travis Kelsey. So she's wearing the Chiefs thing. Again, I, you know, would any, would I do that for love?

No. but I understand that some would. And so it was honestly, it felt kind of good nature, like, we're going to boo her. And then, like, she also played it off, I thought, very well. Like, she kind of made this sort of side eye or like, are you talking about me? Like, it was like, it honestly felt playful with the audience. It did not seem like this visceral hatred moment. Yeah.

And again, I think it was one of those things where Eagles are like, look, we booed Santa Claus. We're certainly booing you. It was that type of thing is what it felt like. But it was overall, you know, she played it off. Actually, I thought pretty well. And it was, you know, it was just a fun moment. I thought it was fun. Yeah.

But, you know, it comes off. You know, you just hear a bunch of booze. You don't necessarily want that. AAA 727 BECK. More coming up in a minute. All right. Let me ask you something if you want to fix the problem of school shootings in this country, which I think we all do.

Let me give you this. This has been Glenn's idea for a while. What if you could give teachers and administrators in every office and classroom in a school, a weapon that wouldn't kill anyone, wouldn't, you know, God forbid there's some incident where somebody misses, it's not going to hit a student bystander and kill them. But it would ensure the attacker was incapacitated instantly. The burner launcher is a solution here. It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home and maybe your school.

It's legal in all 50 states with no permits or background checks required and can be used by all age groups over 18. The burner launcher has powerful deterrence like the tear gas, kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range, and one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. With the burner launcher, you can be confident that you're prepared to defend yourself against potential threats. They're trusted by over 500 government agencies, police department, security firms around the country. Because they really work, and they're great. I also say practicing with them is really fun, too, so you'll really like your burner.

The situation calls for action, but, you know, not for lethal violence. The burner launcher is what you need to have by your side. visit berna.com slash glen bryrna.com slash glen get 10% off your purchase right now it's berna dot com slash glen 10 second station id uh documentary is closed for storm by the way oh i'm looking at the sign right now that says that once said closed for storm closed for storm that's what the sign said at that amusement park in fact right now it says closed our orm yeah because most of the sign is broken off including the entire front of it. You must have once said

Six Flags, New Orleans or whatever. Yeah. It's creepy. It is interesting. I can't wait to watch it. It's so fascinating that you like this. We have the weirdest, the same interest when it comes to that stuff.

There is a, and again, you got to be careful the way you type this on Reddit, but there's, I think it's called abandoned porn. Like, in other words, you know how like, Oh, where are things that have been abandoned? Yeah, it's not. It's not actual porn that's been abandoned. It's kind of like a funny way of saying, like, the stuff you really want to see if you like this type of photography.

So type carefully if you're interested in that. But there's a Reddit, there's a subreddit called abandoned porn. I believe that's the name of it. And it's fascinating. I can see where that might be dangerous. You don't want to miss a couple of digits. Don't want your kids around just in case. Yeah.

Be careful. Be careful. And not safe for work or whatever the, you don't want that. But this one, it's, and it's people who go into abandoned malls and abandoned malls and abandoned in like schools and these cities that have just, and they take all the footage inside. I think find that stuff just to be fascinating for some reason. I don't know what it is.

I know. Me too. Or like, you know, you have one of those like, there's a natural disaster and it means that a brand new housing development has to be abandoned. And then you go back like 15 years later.

And it's like this perfectly like, you know, it's like a movie set that's just they just left. Yeah. And it's, I find it to be really, really interesting. I'll bet we see some of that stuff in Los Angeles now.

Because, gosh, that's terrible. Think about that. So much of that has been destroyed. And, you know, are we going to fix it all? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, you think the Palisades, like, there's so much of land value there that it's going to be hard to stop people from rebuilding.

I was just looking at, I don't know, I get this stuff on my YouTube feed because I accident, I click on things that are like, see this amazing house that was $83 million. Well, one of them was in Pacific Palisades. And it's absolutely beautiful because they show. They show the before, and it completely burned down. It's burned to the ground, an $83 million home. I don't know how you ever replace that. I mean, obviously, you have some money in the first place, but, man, that is just heartbreaking.

For all the people who lost their homes and their livelihood and the businesses and everything that just went away, it's just gone now. Yeah, and I think it's obviously easy to focus on those big houses. But it's also, obviously, they do have resources. That doesn't make it any easier. No, it doesn't. I mean, you see these people who are like, oh, gosh, they're rich. Well, yeah, they're rich, but their families were raised in these homes. Yeah.

And anytime you lose something like that, it's emotionally devastating as well. For sure. But of course, tons of people who were, you know, who had family homes in that area long before it was impossibly expensive to get into them. Right. And that's a lot. Yeah. A lot of people were hit that way. And, you know, did not, like, it's not their fault, Gavin.

No, some of them, I guess it is because they voted for them. but it's not their fault. Gavin Newsom is terrible. Right. Right. It's not their fault that, you know, yeah, the, you know, Karen Bass is incompetent. You know, but some of them built their homes, you know, in 1970 for $25,000. And now it's worth $3.5 million. Mm-hmm.

And you can't afford. You couldn't afford to live there had you not bought it in 1970. There's a lot of those families. Right. And, you know, who knows if the insurance is covering all that? Man, probably not. Almost for sure not. And some of them, of course, lost their insurance as well.

So it's, and you realize, like, in the, you know, Pacific palisades, they're probably just going to build it up. They're probably going to be nicer houses. Probably a lot of those people who live there are going to wind up selling. And it's not going to be great. But it'll probably be rejuvenated as a community eventually. There's just chunks of New Orleans where they just gave up. Still from Katrina?

Yeah. They're just like, okay, nothing here. Nothing will ever come back here. Man, not even going to clean it. It's been hit hard multiple times. Oh, man. I mean, between Katrina and then the horrible terrorist attack on New Year's Eve. and, I mean, it's just been pounded.

Wow. I've never seen, and maybe they were there. I never noticed it, but like going into the Super Bowl, all of the security being done by Secret Service. Wow. Wow. I didn't know he had this many Secret Service, honestly. Yeah. It was intense. It was intense.

AAA 727 B-E-C-K. More coming up. This is Glenn Beck.

at blazedtv.com promo code Glenn. Welcome. It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today. He'll be back tomorrow morning. Triple-8-727 B-E-C-K. been talking about Stu's Super Bowl experience. It doesn't compare to my weekend. I actually went to the George W. Bush Presidential Museum and Library.

Yeah. Really? What a spectacular outing that was. I mean, I have thought it's here locally in Dallas. Yeah, we've been here for 13 years now. And I've never been there. And I've never been. I'm going this weekend.

I bet there's some pretty cool stuff there actually. Yes. And the 9-11 exhibit, of course, is going to be really fascinating. Solomon fascinating and brings back memories. But on the whole, it's probably not the most exciting adventure I've ever been on. But it was good. It was good. Was it worth, I don't know, $26?

Yeah. Borderline on 26. Yeah. That's not great. I mean, we went to a really great presidential library in Springfield, Illinois. It's Abraham Lincoln's Presidential Library or a museum. And it's both. They're all both pretty much.

That one's worth the $15. It's less expensive and more impressive. So that one was awesome. Wait, it was which library? Abraham Lincoln. So you're saying the Abraham Lincoln Library was more impressive. Better technology than the George W. Bush. And it was finished before.

I think they finished Lincoln's in 2005. They finished W's in 2013. So it's kind of weird, but the technology is. is way better. No offense to George W. Bush, but he did have a little bit more to work with with a Lincoln presidency. I feel like a little more. Yeah, he had a longer period of time.

He had a more modern period of time. You would think the technology would be better. Well, a technology, I would expect to be better. But as far as like stuff to highlight at a presidential museum, I feel like Lincoln might have the edge on that one. I would think that too, but I don't know. One of them was more consequential than the other, perhaps.

You noticed that? Yeah. And then you get that from the museums? Did you not know that until? I didn't know that went to the museum. So yeah, it was a big surprise to me. Yeah, I don't know.

The Presidential Library itself, like, as an idea, like, doesn't, you know they're going to have incredible, like, historical stuff. Yeah. But, like, it doesn't seem like number one of my visitation list. Also, I don't feel like you're getting a fair picture. Yeah. Do you get a fair, like, hey, you know what? George W.H. really blew the spending stuff.

Was that covered? No, it was not. No, it was not. Was it all positive? No. I mean, it was neutral. It was all pretty neutral, I thought. They didn't really make him out to be super fabulous.

And they talked about other presidents and didn't disparage them in any way, which I think you would expect from George W. Bush. Yeah. People think he was super, super partisan. He was not. He was not. And his library isn't either. So I found that kind of interesting and a little bit refreshing. I mean, I didn't mind that they talked about.

in a neutral way, all the presidents who preceded him. Yeah, you want that at some level. Again, we all can form our own opinion. This is actually, Pat, our generalized request of the media, which is just talk about the stuff that's neutral and describe what's going on. And then I'll decide. And then we'll decide. Yeah.

I believe someone once said, we report you decide, I believe was a slogan for Fox News at one point. It's kind of what I want out of the media. Definitely. Tell me what's going on. Tell me what's been, what's the, what's the real story? Just generally, you don't need to, you don't need to put in your little, like, you know, stuff about what you think or what your intern really thinks needs to be in the article about DEI or what. Just give me the facts. Yeah.

And then I will just, just determine how I feel about it. How about that? What a concept. It's a crazy approach, Pat. Crazy. That's like nuts. I mean, we have, let's see. I think this is the one I'm thinking of on my list of videos here. CNN on Trump's first three weeks.

It's cut two. We are three weeks into the second Trump presidency. Three weeks. And tonight there are warnings that the U.S. is dangerously close to a constitutional crisis. Pause it for a second. Okay. That's what we're talking about. All right.

Let me decide how close we are to a constitutional crisis and for what reason we're close to it. Yeah. Even if she's telling us at the top. At the top, we're dangerous and close. We're dangerously close to a constitutional crisis. You could instead describe what's going on. And then if you have maybe an expert that comes in and says, you know, I think we're actually dangerously close to a constitutional crisis.

Okay. Like maybe that's a perspective I could get. Maybe you give me the opposite side, be someone who's not freaking out as if the world is on fire. But you could present that view as part of a news story. You could. You could. I don't think it would be the best decision you probably have.

have kind of a person who's a little bit over panicked about things if you're bringing that person in. But like if you got somebody who thinks it's here, okay, maybe, maybe. But the fact that the anchor is starting with this. Yeah. Taints it. It's tainted from the top. From the top. So, yeah, I don't even want to hear the rest because you've already tainted it now.

So, yeah, that's a problem. And I found it fascinating that they didn't do that at his library. You know, it's a place where, you know, it's a place where, you know, you know, these former presidents raise hundreds of millions of dollars for these museums. And so you probably want it to be as positive about your legacy as you possibly can get it, right? You would think anyway. You're paying $250 million and it's going into building this library. You want it to be, I don't know, kind of a monument to what you did for your eight years or four years.

So it was, I thought it was, I thought it was fascinating that they really didn't, they didn't, they didn't taint it like the news does, like CNN does. And here, here on the other hand, though, was CNN talking about yesterday we played the CBS talking about the ratings for, for Donald Trump so far in his presidency, which are really pretty good. he's got a 53% approval rating, which is the highest he's ever had either term. And he has 70% of Americans who are now saying that he's doing what he said he was going to do. If you've got 70% of American citizens saying you're doing what you said you were going to do, that's pretty amazing because that's not just Republicans. That's Republicans and Democrats. Now, that doesn't mean Democrats are necessarily happy with you. doing what you said you were going to do.

But at least they're acknowledging, yeah, he's doing what he said he was going to do. Yeah, like it or not. Yeah. And he's being very decisive, obviously, and has done a lot in a very short period of time. Obviously, the big reconciliation bill is something that's coming up, and it's going to be a huge part of whatever this term's legacy is.

If he can pull that off in a really positive way, he's going to have to work with Congress on that one. I know they're already starting to work on it. So that's coming up around the country. corner. I mean, he's got a lot to do. He's got a lot to unwind. A lot of damage has been done. He does. You know, it's coming off one of the worst presidents ever. And that's why

I don't mind so much the fact that he's done a lot of executive orders. That's not the preferable way to maybe do these things because they can be undone the second the next guy comes in. Yeah. And most of his work has been in that basically undoing thing. Yeah.

It's something like 70% of these executive orders have just been unwinding things. that Biden had done, that damage to the country. Had to be done. Now, hopefully he'll follow up with legislative efforts. Yep. You know, and we'll codify it in law. That would be great.

Yeah. But so far, the results are phenomenal, in my opinion. You can't even, I had a guy, a friend at church, ask me how we're keeping up. How do you keep up with what's going on? It's happening so fast. And really, you don't. Yeah, that's basically the real answer. You don't.

You got to pick and choose what you can keep up with and what you can talk about because there's just too much. He's done 300 executive orders or something so far. Yeah. That's a lot. A lot. And first of all, like, it's strategically a very smart approach because you just don't have that much time. You don't have that much time. I mean, right now, his overall approval rating, for an average, real clear politics using that as just a baseline, 48.8%. That is 45% disapprove. If we don't, we don't, know what's going to happen. He's above water on that then. 48. And that is very rare, by the way, for Donald

Trump. It did not happen at all during his first term. Yeah. And generally speaking, like, you know, he's got, his best numbers are from, you know, Trafalgar and Rasmussen, which is kind of where you expect to see it. But like CBS News has him at 53% too. It's not, it's not, it's not just, you know,

right leaning pollsters, if you will. Economist has him at 48. His worst number here, Reuters has him at 45, but still 45 would be a very good number for his first term. If you're President Trump, you're thinking about this strategically, you don't know what's going to happen. I'm sure Trump in his head is saying, I'm going to be so great that my approval rating is going to go through the roof and this will be the best thing ever. And I'm sure that it's something that he's a power of positive thinking guy. That being said, you have to

strategically plan for what is more likely, which is once we get past the afterglow of the election, and a lot of these things that he did at the beginning were positive, we're very popular. Yeah. Right. He's going to run out of that stuff. He's going to start coming up with policy positions that are more partisan. You know, it's easy to say, hey, we shouldn't judge people by their skin color. Like, 80% of people believe that. Even Democrats, a lot of Democrats believe that you shouldn't be doing that. This DEI stuff is kind of nonsense, right?

When you poll it. That stuff is popular. And it's easy to be able to go in there and do that sort of thing. When you get into more divisive stuff, you're going to wind up probably losing some of those moderates and probably losing some of those people who are Democrats who kind of like what Trump does generally, unless the economy like takes off and everything else, you never know. So what you should expect, you should plan for, plan for the worst, hope for the best, plan for the worst, is to think.

I got two years. I got two years max. You'll probably lose Congress. Again, just historically, you'll probably lose Congress in 2026. It's all, if he's able to hold on to it, it'll be historic. Yeah. You know, I mean. Because it usually does happen.

It's happened basically every single time. I remember 2000, the aftermath or 2002 being one where that was kind of turned around after 9-11. Bush did better than expected in 2002. There's been a few times. You've seen some of these we did better than expected versions of this. Like, for example, when Joe Biden lost the House, also could have lost the Senate. They probably did do slightly better than projections in that in that 2022 election. But like you still lost the House.

You still lost your ability to pass things without Republicans. Yeah. And you don't want to be in that position if you're Donald Trump. And it's likely you will be. Because you're not going to get any Democrats to participate with you. Right. None. I mean, you know, again, you'll get occasional fetterman vote.

You'll get an occasional here and there. But you're not going to get a lot. Yeah. So you have to plan as if this is it. You've got about a year or you got two years. And Pat, when you have a one seat majority in the house, you don't even have two years because you're going to get these purple district moderates that are going to bail on your proposals in that second year. So if you think about it realistically, you got about a year. Yeah.

And he's acting like that. And he's acting like it. And he's smart to act that way. Yeah. Triple-eight, 727. Beck, more coming up. I guess we'll give you a minute to let all that sink in. More Glenn Beck coming up. This month and every month, we remember the over 66 million babies whose lives have been senselessly sacrificed on the altar of abortion. Surely the left doesn't understand the repercussions of a land that takes the blood of the innocent. And that should only motivate us more to save more babies and their moms. Preborn is a network of clinics and they fight every day to save more babies and more moms. To date, they've rescued over 300,000 babies' lives by introducing a mom to her child on an ultrasound. That baby's chance at life doubles. Preborn showers moms and babies with God's love and assistance

for up to two years. So when they shout abortion, we shout life. Let's save more babies this year than last. One ultrasound is just $28 and only $140 will help rescue five babies. All of the gifts are tax deductible. So donate securely, dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby.

That's pound 250, keyword baby. Or go to preborn.com slash Beck. Preborn.com slash Beck. Sponsored by Preborn. Pat and Stufer Glenn today. You know, we're talking about the student. Super Bowl experience. What I wanted to ask you about too was not just the game, but what about the half-to- what was the feel in the stadium for the halftime show? Because is it just me or was that

one of the worst of all time? I, well, first of all, I don't know anything about Kendrick Lamar. I don't even. I don't know any of his. Honestly. One of his songs, kind of. Oh, you did? I think I heard the course. Yeah, I had no idea. I thought, huh, has anybody ever heard any of these? And I guess they have like billions of streams, right? Yeah. I think they miss with artists like that because they're like there's not a, you know, of course, the average person going to the Super Bowl is basically like me. Some like almost, almost 50 year old guy who's just, you know, I don't know,

who works for a living and, you know, I don't know, like goes, I love sports, right? Right. There's not a, you know, I don't know. Like, we're not the target demo for the NFL. We're just not. We might be, oh, I disagree. I think we're the ones spending the money on the NFL. I know, but they act like, they don't care what, for instance, we think of it.

You know, I think like, look, Kendra Kumar is one of the biggest acts in the world, right? Like, and he's, I get it. I guess. He's huge. But, like, I always feel like the actual sweet spot for a, for a Super Bowl, I think, was 2002 U-2. U-2. Because, now, YouTube today would not be the right. right act. In 1989,

YouTube would have not been right there. But 2002, they were still one of the biggest bands in the world, still releasing stuff that was really relevant. Yeah. And had a long catalog. Like, I remember when we went to one that was also The Who. And that felt like the opposite direction. Like, too far. They were 20 years

past that. Yeah. You know, if you'd done it 20 years earlier, it would have worked. This was like, you know, Kendrick Lamar is like really appealing to 25 year olds and, you know, and he's been around for a while. So it's It's not like he's super, but it just doesn't feel like it connects with, certainly the people in the audience. That being said, it is not a made for stadium show.

It is a made for TV show. So, like, for example, me, I was on the opposite side and what I saw was the back of a bunch of dancers for a few minutes. It looks, it's terrible in the stadium. Everyone's like, oh, what's it like? It's awful. But no doubt you were digging the music, right? The tunes were just setting you on fire. I will tell you that.

I took the opportunity to go to the food stand and the bathroom. totally clear, which is great. Most people in the stadium, it's the best part. Oh, that's nice. I would have preferred to hear and see basically none of it. My son did want to see it for a little bit, and that tells you a little bit, I suppose, about it. Like, he knows a couple of the songs, I guess.

Was he 13? I would not allow him to listen to most of them, so I don't know how he knows them, but he's 13, yeah. Yeah. So that's another great part of that story. That's really cool that you now take Zach. Yeah, to Eagles games. Oh, okay.

I'm like, if the Eagles make the Super Bowl, you can go with me. And that was a deal I made back in 2017. We went to see. And he remembered. And he remembered. And I thought it would be like once every 50 years, which now apparently they're going every couple of years,

which I am happy to deal with. With this team, they actually, they could. They could. They might be back. It's a great, great roster. They were tough this last weekend. All right. More coming up.

This is Glenn Beck. Beannu at board of Via Rai, Embarked, And profite. Embarked and celebrate. Rigolet. Publié. Savour. Admirate.

Yes, it is with Pat and Stu today. Glenn will be back tomorrow morning. Turnpola 877 B-E-C-K, much more to get to, and we'll do that in 60 seconds. Yeah, Glenn should be back tomorrow. He's currently violently ill after watching the Philadelphia Eagles destroy the Kansas City Chiefs, so we'll see. I mean, it's interesting. Will he be back tomorrow? I don't know.

He does have a company called Real Estate Agents I Trust.com. They're at work today, as far as I know. They're getting things done for people around the country. Now, we know that we have all sorts of issues when you're buying or selling your home. It can be really difficult. In fact, it's so difficult. It's the reason why this company exists because Glenn went through that process himself, had to deal with real estate agents that just didn't work.

And, you know, look, we know that Glenn might be terrible at predicting Super Bowl outcomes, but he was way out ahead of these real estate problems over a decade ago when he started to Real Estate Agents. itrust.com. It's a service they don't charge you for. free to you. So why not take advantage of it? Someone really experienced can help you walk through this entire process. And if they have someone in your area, and they probably do, you're going to love working with them. It's real estate agents.I trust.com. The name kind of says it all,

real estate agents I trust.com. Check it out now. Real estate agents I trust.com. And they're, of course, celebrating the victory of the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl this week. Now you know that for a fact? Really? Yeah, it's a big company promotion that got going on right now. Call them. When you get on with real estate agents, I trust.com, just say,

I'm so excited that the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, and they'll give you 50% off their $0 cost to you. This is what I was talking about, the most obnoxious person on the face of the planet right now. This is bad.

Wait until Glenn's here. I mean, this is going to be great. I'm very, very excited. And I know there's other things going on in the world that are more important. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but they probably are. Well, the left thinks it's a big deal that Donald Trump seemed to say that J.D. Vance is not going to be his successor.

That's kind of interesting. Brett Baer interviewed Donald Trump for the Super Bowl. And here's a little section of that. Do you view Vice President J.D. Vance as your successor, the Republican nominee in 2028? No, but he's very capable. I mean, I don't think that it, you know, I think you have a lot of very capable people. So far, I think he's doing a fantastic job. It's too early.

We're just starting. But by the time you get to the midterms, he's going to be looking for an endorsement. Yeah, a lot of people have said that this has been the greatest opening, almost three weeks, in the history of the presidency. That's what I've been the fastest and the most stuff happening. Well, we've done so much, so fast. And we really had to because they have really, what they've done to our country is so sad. It's so sad. We're going to be bigger, better and stronger than ever before.

Special report, anchor and executive. The big headline there, of course, is that he said no, that J.D. Vance, he doesn't look at him as his successor. Now, could it be the reason is that Donald Trump Jr. might be running in 2028? That's interesting. That's what I think it is. I think he's already, you know, he's got an endorsement that's already set aside for somebody else. I think that's the issue. So let's get three, three, three.

possibilities here. I think that's a really interesting one. Donald Trump Jr., he's already knows that he's going to run and he's his pick, obviously, if he winds up running in some serious way. So that's number one. Number two, you could make the argument. I think this is more of an argument for a traditional politician than Donald Trump. But like to look at the same, say, I've got a lot of allies. A lot of people are probably going to run in 2028. Right. I need to see what the field is. Like, I can't make that decision right now. Like let's let's let this play out. I, you know, he's got people that are allies, people who worked really hard for him that might run. I'm not going to make that call right now.

If you remember, you know, even like Obama was not really involved in an endorsement type of thing. He wasn't like... No, Joe asked him not to. Do you remember that? I do remember Joe saying that. Not to endorse him because that would be an unfair advantage. Right. You wouldn't want that.

So he didn't want that. You know, Joe, if Joe Biden's about anything, it's a merit. Yeah. And he just doesn't want to mess with that process at all. He wouldn't want an endorsement from a very popular president in his party. No. He wouldn't want that. That would be awful.

So he didn't get it. In fact, he was actually talked out of running by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton wind up getting the nomination. You see how well that turned out. Let me give you a third possibility while we're just throwing stuff out there. All right. What and I mean this sincerely. I know other. This is what I really do think this.

something, which is, what if Donald Trump sees the successor of Donald Trump in 28 being Donald Trump, period, no junior? Donald Trump senior. Donald Trump senior. Yeah, I felt that one coming on. He's totally floating this for a reason, boys and girls, because he wants to have another term. He wants to have a third term.

And again, there's a constitutional limitation to this process. There is already a bill, by the way, I mean, floated around that would give him the opportunity to run for a third term, which would need to be through a constitutional amendment. It was cleverly designed so that it would prevent Barack Obama running for a third term because it was... You can't run two consecutive terms? You can...

Or a third consecutive term. You can only run a third consecutive term if you had a separation between your first and second term. So if you... He's floated it out there. multiple times in front of these audiences. I think he sees it as an anti-market situation. If the market wants me, they should be able to have me for another term.

And I think as we get- Except there's something called the Constitution. It disallows that. You've got to amend the constitution. That's almost impossible. Now, I will say, I will not be surprised if some legal, you wait, some legal mind in the constitutional sphere

who is attempting to curry favor with a Mr. Donald Trump comes up with a little theory that actually, no, it's not prevented. Do not be surprised to see this argument pop up. You've seen it before. With Trump, of course, you've seen it a million times on the left. We all know how this works.

actually the equal rights amendment already passed. Actually. Oh, really did it? Did it? We just didn't notice all this time. Joe Biden actually came out with that right before Trump took over. Everyone was ignoring what Biden was doing at that point. But he just came out and said, by the way, I consider that already passed.

And there is a legal theory that has been bubbling a long time on the left, that this is true. It's not. It's nonsense. But I will not. not be surprised at all if in the back of Donald Trump's head is either one of our philosophies, right? It's either Donald Trump Sr., who is the next guy, or if that fails, Donald Trump Jr. is the next guy.

So that is, I think it's possible. It is also possible that he's just saying, look, I think J.D. Vance is great, but he's got to win the nomination, and I'm not going to get involved in that right now. He's three weeks into his presidency. There's no, most presidents, I think, wouldn't answer that a resounding yes. I think you could say, look, you. he'd be one of the candidates. We don't even know who's running yet.

It'd be really easy, though, to just say, it's way too early for that. Yeah. You know, it's way too early. I'm three weeks. You're saying just not. Yeah. And just not answer it. He's not.

Rather than say no, just say it's way too early for that. Right. Totally fair. And I think not controversial. It's also I would say kind of a weird question at this point in the presidency. It is. It is. No, knock on bear.

I think it's an interesting one. Obviously newsworthy. But it is, it's a three weeks into the, why is he? Because answering. that question in any way really indicates you're almost a lame duck. It's almost a no win situation for him. It's kind of like a lame duck. You're like, okay, well, now all I'm here for is to endorse the next guy.

Right. I don't think he's ready for that yet. He's three weeks into his presidency, right? He's not. So I do think that there is a reason why you wouldn't be like, well, of course he is. I love him. He's the best guy ever. You might think he's the best guy ever, but what do you get out of that if you're

Donald Trump? And he's pretty good. I really like J.D. Vance. I was talking to somebody over the weekend. She's like, gosh, I was watching J.D. Vance get off a plane with his family. You know, he's got a beautiful wife.

He's a good-looking guy. They're getting off. His kids are bundled up wearing pajama pants under their coats. Like, and he's so good on TV. He's so good at beating the left. Like, it's just this all-American family. Like, you know,

if this, if the first term of Donald Trump goes really well, and he doesn't have another Trump to run against. It's hard to see anybody. Like, you know, you might say, like, you know, Ronda Stans has got a great record. And I think totally deserves to be the nominee of the Republican Party at some point with what he's done. Like I, and I said that a million times. Yeah.

But like, it's going to be tough to beat Vance if this is a popular Republican presidency in that, in that, in that, in that, uh, for sure. In that world. Because, yeah. Now, if Donald Trump has a rough go of it, something terrible happens. And, you know, we get a big economic downturn. and their approval rating is 37%. Well, it might not be that hard. It might be a different story.

But Vance is going to be formidable, really no matter what goes on, because he's just really good at this. Yeah, he does not have a problem with the left. He does not have a problem with the media. He disassembles them every single time he gets in front of them. Every time. Yeah.

Yeah, he's really good. He really is. The vague? I mean, you think Ramoswami's got a shot in 28? Yeah. I mean, he's like, look, maybe. He's good. Speaker.

Him getting, you know, becoming governor of Ohio or senator from Ohio or something of that nature. It would probably help. It's what, it's the, by the way, also the Buddha judge approach, it looks like, you know, on the left, they, it's tough to go from mayor of South Bend to the presidency. It is, might even be more difficult to go from the Department of Transportation to the presidency. You need to have some role that.

shows you, you know, some sort of performance. I mean, look, Buttigieg was a catastrophe when it came to the secretary of transportation. He was horrible. Yeah. But they really want him. You could tell the left, there's a contingency in the left that really wants him to be president. They want to have the first gay president. They want the first LGBTQIA2 plus president.

They want that on their little record. He's kind of the only thing they have going that way. And they want to roll him out because of that sort of. of like, um, technocratic left really loves him. That, that version of the left loves him. Now, I don't think the AOC left loves him. I think they're bored by him. Mm-hmm.

But I think the, I think there's that tech, that Obama left loves Buttigieg for some reason. I don't really get it. Identity politics. I think that's all there is to it. And there's a way of his approach. It's like, that calm sort of like, you know, intellectual sort of, I use, you know, I use big words to describe by bad policies.

Like that sort of approach. is loved by that technocratic left. And so I think they want to make, and it's that old thing of you want to make fetch happen. Like they want to make Buttigieg happen. They want it to be a thing so badly. And I don't think there's a lot of passion on the, on the day-to-day Democrat for Buttigieg.

Like, I don't think they're inspired by him. I don't know why they would be. Yeah, he's really, but boring and dull. Yeah. And he's, he doesn't have any accomplishments to his record. What is he done? He couldn't even fill the potholes in South Bend, Indiana, apparently. And by the way, the evidence we have from that is the Biden campaign who pointed it out and said,

this guy couldn't even run South Bend correctly. How is he going to run America correctly? Yeah. And then they put him in it for Department of Transportation, which to me was really more just like a way of derailing his political career. How many, Pat, name them, have come from the Department of Transportation to the presidency? One, two, three, zero. None. Yeah.

None. It doesn't happen because it's a job that couldn't present a presidential can. It's not possible to go from that job. It's just not a, it's not a, and this is, you know, there are certain cabinet positions that aren't sexy enough to go from there to the presidency, you know. Only downside, right? Yeah. When planes start crashing into each other, people say, oh my God, let's get the secretary of transportation. Then you're up there saying, holy crap, all this bad stuff happened. I don't know. We're going to do it. And he was terrible in those moments. Oh my gosh. When he wasn't on paternity leave. Train derailments did he not show up to. Jeez. It was pathetic.

And like, you know, Sean Duffy's dealing with this now, right? Like, they've had three, another one over the weekend, another plane incident over the weekend where planes are crashing into each other. People, like, again, like, is that, Sean Duffy's been in the job for like six hours. Like, it's not his fault. But that's how you're going to be known. Right. And if this stuff keeps happening, you have these situations, it's impossible. Like, there's only downside to it for your, for your political career.

which I think has been true with Buttigieg. He's been terrible. Like I and I yeah. He really has. He has no accomplishments. He's failed at everything he's done in political office. He's been awful. Mm-hmm.

And he is identity politics plus that sort of like appeal to that certain sect of the Democrats who they just really like that stuff. They really and they get they they love the guy who's going to come out and and be, you know, very calm and and and say all these big words and talk down. everybody and how smart he is and how dumb you are and you're supposed to like that and some people do on the left. But I don't think even a higher a high enough percentage on the left like it. That's the problem. No, I think that might be true. AAA 727. Back more coming up in one minute. All right, we've dealt with some pretty major natural disasters over the past year. And you hate to think that there are people out there who would take advantage of those in need of relief. But of course, they are out there. There are scammers who actually pretend to be part of relief efforts just to get information. to steal people's identities. And if they succeed in that,

So the FBI just discovered 2,400 records tied to President Kennedy's assassination that were never provided to a board tasked with reviewing or disclosing the documents. The still secret records are contained in 14,000 pages of documents the FBI found in a review that was triggered by President Trump's executive order on the 23rd of January, demanding the release of all JFK assassination records.

So apparently the FBI is taking this seriously and they're actually looking into it and they found 14,000 more pages that we didn't even know about. Completely secret. Very strange. Isn't that a little bit suspicious? I would say very suspicious. Huh. Look at this. 14,000 more pages that were just in a drawer.

Who knew? It seems unlikely. It does. It just seem like, hey, wait a minute. they're going to release the stuff we need to figure. I mean, that's what the conspiracy minded would go immediately to. They just created these? Well, I didn't even go to that point. I was thinking to myself, like, these are things they've had the whole time and show something that they've never disclosed. And this is the reason we never disclosed it because they were lost. You know,

that's what, that's what, you know, again, I don't necessarily believe that. I think there's a chance that maybe this is true. Maybe the story is true. I would like to, I guess I would like to have more evidence on it either way. But it does. I just want to see the documents. Yeah. I just want, once and for all. Let's just get this out. All right. Let's just lance this boil and move on past the JFK situation. Yeah, because even if it was the worst of suspicions, I don't know at this point. I mean, what do you do about it? I mean, it would be, I guess maybe it would give us a little bit more suspicion of some of these institutions. But I don't think it would necessarily make the country collapse. I think we all are

somewhat comfortable with the idea that something a little bit out of the outside of the official story happened. And I keep coming back to this in my head, Pat. The official story was crafted essentially by Arlen Spector. And that makes me not believe it just because of that.

Arlen Spector, the former president. Arlen Spector the man who ruled the book about what it was like to be the Senate Bathhouse. The man love to be in the bath house when John Thune showed up. He did love that.

And now set a majority leader. But the man would show up completely naked. Yes. This is in his book. He had the body of a Greek god. Yes. And he'd show up and we'd make tender love for the next 14 or 15 hours or so. That's almost in the book.

It's very close to it in the book. Very close. And did I paraphrasing. there a little bit, one section of it. Did I bring up Arlen Specter specifically just to hear Pat's impression of Arlen Specter? Yes. Yes, I did. He's been dead for many years.

But yes, that is why I brought up. I know. It's been a decade, at least. It's been a while. It's been a while. And he really was behind that. And it's the most, the best evidence of the conspiracy theories that Arlen Specter said the opposite. I don't know. I don't believe anything Arlen Specter ever said.

That's for sure. Except I didn't leave the Republican Party left me. You believe that, right? Well, I believe that, and I believe John Thune has great abs. That I believe. I do, too. I believe he has the body of a Greek god. I've never seen him naked as a J-bird, but... But you're willing to check it out.

I can see it in your eyes. Why not? Whatever. I mean... He's a darn handsome man. What a weird thing to put in your book as a senator. I know. It's just so bizarre. Like, why is there a Senate bathhouse?

I don't. I don't, why do we live in Turkey or something? What is this? I don't know. I mean, I'm used to Turkish bathhouses, but not. Are you? How are you? How are you?

How often do you get there? Quite a bit. Three, four times a week. Unlimited membership. I just feel like your description of naked male senators, it gets to cutting room floor. A naked is a jabber. look like a Greek gone

gone through no, the Senate majority. Is this how he got to be Senate majority leader? Because I don't really understand it otherwise. Yeah, I don't either.

I don't either. There's so many better choices. I don't really get it, but maybe it's just the abs the whole time. This is Glenn Beck. Today we're constantly taking photos and videos to remember our favorite moments.

We're helping you fight back one truth at a time. More Glenn back next. Glenn's back tomorrow morning. It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today. AAA-8-727-B-E-C-K. Let's go to Kevin in Idaho. Hey, Kevin, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu. Hey, Pat and Stu.

I'm about to head over a little patch here. I might lose you for a second, but it won't be long. Maybe five seconds. We'll just wait in silence. Don't worry. Okay, good. Go ahead. All right.

I was wondering if you guys, guys would be willing to have an issue pressed on you guys. Some of you all are talking about earlier, you all had a little back and forth, the third term presidency of Trump, Jr. I want to force the issue on you guys, because you guys were talking a lot about kind of how you think it might go down or might not go down. But I would really like to know is what you actually support if you... And then we lose them.

He really knows his cell phone coverage the map really well. You did break up just when you thought you were going to. do. All right, would we what? Yeah, would you want it? Would you be in support of it? And what reservations, if it went through, what reservations would you have other than the Constitution? Because if they amended the Constitution, that's obviously not an issue because it's not against the Constitution. It's an amendment. Yeah. So what reservations would anyone reasonably have to a third term Trump presidency? And if I may, I would have my own reservations, but I want to get y'all thoughts on that.

I would like to hear your reservations as well. I will. tell you myself. I've got reservations. I am 100% no on a third term for Donald Trump or anyone else. I don't think it's a good idea. I think the Constitution is right on this. It's a good idea to limit the executive power. The reason we have the constitutional amendment was FDR. We wanted to prevent a guy who basically became a dictator for 12 years. And you know, you might be saying, well, they had a chance to vote for somebody else. And that's true. That's true. But I don't think though, what we see from the American people over and over again,

they don't. They don't. They don't do it. That's why people have been in office for 40 years. Right. And this is why, by the way, I also would support constitutional amendments to limit the congressional terms. I think 12 years is plenty of time. Two terms in the Senate and six terms in Congress.

12 years. Another person who supported congressional term limits was Donald Trump. Yeah. And I think he was right on that. I think his point is like, hey, if I'm limited, you should be limited to. But I do think he's going to be interested in this. And I understand why. And if you think he's a great president, you might very well be open to that possibility.

I think, though, the Constitution is correct on this issue. And that's where I said. What are you thinking, Kevin? What are your hesitations? Do you agree with any of that? Well, yeah, I agree with most of that in general. Obviously, if it's amendment to the Constitution, then it's not a constitutional issue in theory. However, to the person who would support.

a third Trump presidency. What I would say to them is the reservation that I would have and the issue I see with that is that it's basically admitting defeat in the entire Republican Party. If Trump himself cannot trust anyone else in his team at all to take forward the moniker what Trump himself is doing, that spells bad news for America, really, because it kind of indicates that there's no other hope other than Trump. And if he doesn't work out and it's just kind of toast. It shows a real lack of confidence in his team and the people around him. The other thing is

he's going to be 82 years old by 2028. And he's got tons of energy. I had a problem with Biden at that age. It wasn't just the number with Biden. It wasn't just the number. Yes, that is true. However, the chances increase exponentially when you're at that age.

You know, because then you're talking about 86 by the time your term ends. It's just no. I'm ready for somebody else at that point. It's a plethora of reasons. And, you know, Kevin mentioned it a couple of times there, like, it's not a constitutional amendment if you amend the Constitution, which is true technically.

But of course, when you look at something that's a constitutional issue, you have to determine whether you think the Constitution is right or wrong on that issue, right? Like, do you think, you know, is it right or wrong on the Second Amendment? You know, I think it's right, so I wouldn't want to amend that. Do I think, you know, there's a bunch of other stuff that I would like, constitutional amendments that we can come up with a fantasy league on if we want. But like, I think if the Constitution is wrong on something, you do want to amend it. I don't think the Constitution is wrong on this.

No, I don't. I think the amendment was correct to limit that power. I think it's a smart thing to do for the country. But also what Kevin said, I think is real. If what you, if you like Donald Trump, that's one thing. If you like Trumpism, it's another thing. If you believe America first or MAGA, or Trumpism or whatever you want to call it is the right approach for the country.

It can't be limited to one guy. You can't play hero ball. If you're an NBA fan, you've seen this 100 times. You get some guy who's on a hot streak and they're just dribbling around. And if all you can do is, you know, maybe a good example of this, Pat, would be Patrick Mahomes. If you, if what your approach is, is Patrick Mahomes has to make incredible play after incredible play after incredible play after he's almost sacked. I mean, he did this. He ran around and avoided 12 more sacks in that game. He's incredible. But if all you're doing is

depending on Patrick Mahomes to make every play for your team, it's really hard to win a Super Bowl. You're going to lose 40 to 22. You're going to lose 40 to 22 specifically. Yeah. And actually should have been 40 to 6, but that's a whole nother story. Right, right. My point here is that it can't be Donald Trump hero ball. It's got to be a movement if you believe in the policies behind it. And that's why J.D. Vance, I think, was a really good pick for Donald Trump because he, I think in his mind, and we talked about the clip earlier where he didn't say yes to this. But I think he did pick him with his legacy in mind. And maybe there's another thing here.

Maybe a third term for Donald Trump is something in his mind. maybe Donald Trump Jr's in his mind, but also J.D. Vance is a person who can bring forward Trumpism in a way that Donald Trump doesn't really do it. And when Donald Trump's not around, he can push those policies forward. Another problem for me would be amending the Constitution because Democrats are already saying he's trying to become a dictator. They're already saying that he wants a third term. They're already saying that we're not going to have another election while he's around. This will tear the country apart trying to amend the Constitution, specifically for Donald Trump. And that's what you'd be doing, especially if you've rewritten the law or the amendment to reflect the fact that you can't do three consecutive terms, but you can only do three terms if they're not consecutive on your first two or whatever. But you can be consecutive on your second two.

It's clear what you're trying to do there. And that would just tear us apart. And I don't know that we need that. I mean, I do, there's part of me that thinks the Democrats would be fine with no term limits on this. I mean, they were. That's how FDR. I mean, it was him. Eventually said, wow, this isn't working. And even they came on the side of wanting term limits for the president.

I do think that, look, you're going to see a lot of things that you like out of Donald Trump. It has to be deeper than that. He is not immortal. Right. He is not a God. And if you sit here and depend on him to be in office forever, you will eventually be disappointed. That I can promise. And you're right, there's other good people. There's got to be. Or it's not a movement. It's just a guy.

You know, like Donald Trump's an impressive person. He's accomplished a lot in his life. Whether you like him or not, he's done a lot. He's been able to do a lot of things. He's been able to accomplish a lot of things. He's been able to be incredibly famous, you know, for 45 years. Like that's really just that is impressive. All that being said, he's going to die someday.

I mean, he almost got shot in. front of our eyes. The left wants to take him out. We know, you know, act blue donors seem to have a particular interest in ending it quickly. So you got to build this beyond one guy. It's not a knock on Donald Trump. It's not disloyal to Donald Trump. I know a lot of people care about that crap. I don't care about loyalty to a politician, whoever he is. You can be loyal to him or not. But even if you are concerned about it, it's like at the end of the day, this man is not immortal. You have to find a way past him.

And if you sit here and say, oh, I want term after term after term, eventually that's going to run out. It ran out with FDR. And it's going to run out on Donald Trump too. That's one enemy he can't beat. And you got to think beyond it. And you have to have something built

to be able to take his message forward if you believe in it. Because if you don't have that set up, if you're not comfortable with that, then it's not the message that you're support. And I think a lot of people in the United States voted for policies that Donald's not wasn't just voting for Donald Trump because of his last name. It was voting because they, you know, they really liked his policies and they really liked the direction he was taking the country.

And if that's true, you get you have to be able to understand that that it has to, a movement is not one man. Let's go to Tom in Kentucky. Hey, Tom. You're on the Glenn Beck program with Penn, Stu. Hey, I was just, uh, looking at this, the, uh, the amendment we're talking about is the 22nd amendment. and it was only proposed in 1947 and it was ratified in 1951.

So it's not like we're dealing with the founding fathers here or anything like that. Right. And generally speaking, I don't think it's a bad idea. But by the same token, you know, we can vote for anybody we want to, except if he's already been the president twice. That is what the amendment basically says, yeah. So again, there obviously was an argument in the 40s about this. The argument in the 40s came to everyone's mind, Republicans and Democrats, because of what they just saw.

They saw that this was not a good idea. And it was widely agreed upon at the time. Now, it's been a long time since we've dealt with that. So people, like this happened, you know, there's an example of this in New York. It happened with Bloomberg. Bloomberg got through two terms. They were like, well, but we want more Bloomberg. Now, again, this is New York, so you have to be skeptical of their brain power in some ways.

Love you, New York. I was born there. But, you know, there's, in New York City, not making it. They're about to put Andrew Cuomo in his mayor. So I think we can be critical of their voting habits. But they were like, well, we want more Bloomberg. So they're like, well, what if we just amend the Constitution to have more Bloomberg? And that's what they did.

And they did. You know, this happened in Russia. They wanted more Putin. And now they have more Putin. Like permanently forever. And if you say anything against Putin, you're going to fall out a window from like the ninth story. And that's not what's going to happen here. No, but the point is.

That's what that can lead to eventually. Right. But the point is, yeah, you don't, you don't, you make the rules of the game. And then you keep those rules. Changing the rules to benefit one person like this is not usually a good. It's not usually, it's not a very American thing to do. It's not something we've done very often. Allen in Idaho.

We didn't even do it for George Washington. Welcome. Yeah. Good morning, gentlemen. Hey. Oh, and the same deal is, hey, we've talked about it before. You know, we'll amend the Constitution. That way, we can serve a third term.

But what happens when the other side does this? I mean, who I've done this during the Obama term? Oh, man. You think Obama would have got a third term? Yeah. Yes. He would have. That would not have been good, by the way.

Yeah, that's a good point. Thanks, Ellen. Yeah, it works both ways. By the way, if you did this, you know, again, they wrote it so Obama could not run. But if you just say, hey, when you get to the third terms, which is the only way it would pass, right? Yeah. You could theoretically maybe get some Democrats on board for it. Otherwise, writing it for one man.

You're not going to amend the Constitution for one person. And you'll never get enough on both sides to do it. This is why it's a silly, I think. Yeah. But, I mean, I honestly think the more likely situation is they come up with a way to legally challenge it and see if they can get it through the courts. Again, this is sort of silly because, you know, I don't think they would even admit to wanting to do this right now. but you have seen Donald Trump. I think he'd be like, Donald Trump jokes about a third term.

Dude, how long, how long are you guys known Donald Trump? This is not, he doesn't, he's like, oh, maybe I could stay in office for four more years. That's not a joke. That is a, he's floating these things out. And you may love him, he may be the best president in the world, right? Like, he's done a lot of good things. We've spent nonstop time talking about all the good things he's done. Yeah, we've been in office.

We've mentioned at the beginning of the show. We can't keep up with it. It's not a criticism of Donald Trump or like the, he, If this was his first term, would he deserve another? That's not what we're talking about here. You're talking about amending the Constitution to allow that. And I do believe what we will see is a popular, on the right, a swell of support for it. I mean, we're seeing in some of the colors here, some of them.

I think that as this Overton window is moved, you will see people start talking about this more and more. I'm just trying to be honest with you. I do think that's coming. I don't think it's a good idea though and I hope you know I think the you have to you know this is what I believe I'm not going to change it

because Donald Trump is the one suggesting it or one of his people is suggesting it I do think that it is a good rule it's good to have good rules sometimes you need to have good rules so there's good rules in sports and sometimes they're frustrating to your team but you know what

like they're there for a reason they're there for a reason AAA 727 BECK Glenn You've heard me talk about Relief Factor and how many people enjoy a better, more pain-free life because of it, including me.

This is unbelievable. We'll get into Representative Rosa DeLauro. Remember Rosa, right? Oh my gosh. Yes, I do remember. Fantastic. She has been in office since 1990. So that's 35 years.

But she's just a spry 81 years old. So she's still doing a terrific job. She's New Haven. New Haven. area. Yeah. I lived near New Haven at that time. And I was in eighth grade.

Eighth grade. Eighth grade. So she's been in office since you've been in eighth grade or ninth grade, depending. Yeah, somewhere in there. Oh, that's crazy. That's pretty amazing. And she, I will say, looks.

Oh, terrific. Fantastic. She looks like, really not a day over 93. Yeah. And a lot of people ask, is she get her hair colored? No. That's natural. No, right.

Yeah. That's natural. No. No hair color whatsoever. Nope. Involved here. We'll share what she had to say and much more coming up in one minute. Let me tell you first about pre-born.

It is sad to recognize that the abortion pill has become really the pro-abortion left's response to the overturning of Roe versus Wade. Shockingly, they want to get around court decisions when they don't like them. Counts for over 60% of abortions now in the United States. Thank God there's a miraculous abortion reversal pill available. I never knew about this, Pat? No, just recently. Diversal pill. I'd never heard of it. Never heard of it until recently. Yeah. Fascinating. As long as a woman takes it within a certain amount of time after taking the abortion pill, it can make a big difference. The Ministry of Preborn is leading the Preborn is leading the pre-born case of where it's possible. So, hey, you know, support Freeborn. They're just a great organization. Pat, I know you've been talking about it for a while as well. These people are providing the abortion reversal pill in cases where it's possible. So, hey, you know, support Freeborn. They're just a great organization. Pat, I know you've been talking about it for a while as well. These people are, you've

So Representative Rosa DeLauro, she's been doing just incredible work in the U.S. Congress for 35 years now. So she's been elected 17 times. That's the hell is a matter with you in New Haven, Connecticut. Stop it. That's why you need turbo. Stop. People just get an autopilot.

They don't even know. They don't even know who she is anymore. It's just, oh, I know that name. There's your problem. That's bad. Yep. Because you don't even look into anybody else. Well, I know that name.

Well, yeah, you've known that name for 35 freaking years. She's been your representative all that time. Really? You want to give her another term? Stop it. And what does she know? Honestly, what she's known for. As I look up at the video we're about to potentially play, I see the purple hair.

She's known for purple hair. Now, of course, as we just noted, natural. It's natural purple. She's just a natural purple head. That's just who she is. Right. Right, right. That's all she's known for.

She's not, she's a... Well, she's known for stupidity as well as verbal hair. That's true. But mostly just being a complete non-entity. Yeah, that's, that is true. How many times have we spoken of Rosa DeLauro in the last 35 years since we left Connecticut anyway? Not that many times. Not that many times.

Not that many. And we, you know, I think this is the first time. We knew of her because she was the representative of the area where we lived. Yes. And she was very, very bad then. Yeah. Was she the... Couldn't stand her.

then. Was she the mayor of New Haven? Am I remembering that correctly? Oh, that might be. That might be. Yeah, that might be right. I could be wrong on that. So apologies to her illustrious career if I am. But I think that's where she was at one point. Back when you were hosting a show with Glenn in that city. And she was a joke then. Yes, she was. Yes. She was bad then. Yeah. And Connecticut has what they've done and what they do is has rewarded her with multiple decades of paying her six figures out. to do a terrible job. Yeah. And that is just wrong. It's unacceptable. It is what it is. But here's what she has to say about Doge and what Doge is doing. The other piece of that is the outrage of the American public.

And when you think about there is the legal issue, but you have to think about what the, you know, what are the repercussions to American families? You take education. You're looking at denying people of a. school lunches. You are taking the opportunity for a college education if you cut Pell Grant. You cut student financial aid. There are a whole range of... Pause it for a second. Student financial aid, nobody has to pay back their loans from their student loans anymore. What do you mean? Well, they do now, but they didn't for a while. Nobody has a student loan anymore because Biden wiped them all out. These people. All right, let's hear the rest. What these services do for the

American public. That's the word that has to get out. When you cut education how much socialism can we get? That's the word. I can cut Title I. Seventy-two thousand teachers nationwide are gone. Your kid may be in a classroom that doesn't have a teacher. Special education

for development challenge kids. That will be cut. What happens to those kids? But again, it's USA it's education. It's not USA. Medicaid. And it is about the effect of what happens. I can't take it anymore. stoned. It's not even

USA and I... It should be. I don't even want to pronounce it that way anymore because it's important to note it's USAID which stands for Agency of International Development. It's got nothing to do with 72,000 teachers in America. It might have

72,000 teachers in Uganda. I don't know. Maybe we fund 72,000 teachers there through USAID. But they are Are funding things. I feel like their programs don't do any good.

So probably not even teachers in Uganda who they're trying to make it out though as if children are going to die because this program has been at least suspended for a while, at least looked into. Yeah. And now that's going to kill children all over the world. And now Rosa DeLora try to make it about teachers and students in America. I mean, these are the same tactics we've been seeing forever. Forever. She's a good representative of that argument because his argument's been around for as long as she's making it in Congress, which is forever. Yeah.

You know, it really is sort of like if you're falling for this crap at this point, I don't know what we even do to convince you. Isn't it nice, though, that if you're falling for this kind of crap, you're, you've sort of fallen out of power and you can't do anything about it right now? For the moment. For the moment. And let's savor that moment. It's fantastic. Yeah. I love it. I do love it. I do love it. I do love it. And Rosa DeLoro is, you know, a good example of just this sort of old way of thinking. Yeah. And I don't know that I don't know that that works anymore. Do you think it works? I mean, it definitely does on some people, right? I mean, it was still a relatively close election. We've got a one seat majority basically in the house because of some of the appointments Trump has made. So it's still close, right? It's still a close country. It's just. It's shocking that that sort of argument would work on anybody at this point.

The scare tactics of we're not going to have a tea. I mean, you're going to have teachers in your classrooms. Like, they might suck, frankly. Yeah. But you're probably going to have somebody there. But if you, if you got rid of all public education completely, you'd still have teachers in your classrooms. In fact, the only time we didn't have teachers in classrooms is when the Democrats

told them that they were going to stay home and not go to school and they were going to close all the schools. That's when you didn't have teachers in classrooms. That's about it. The market would absolutely be able to solve that problem if you would allow it to. What about children in Chad who don't have faces? They don't have faces? Yeah, we're buying children in Chad. We're buying, we should not be buying children in Chad, Pat.

Oh, oh, they're buying them. Yeah. Okay, you're buying them. You're getting them face parts so that they can now have a face, which they didn't have before. Can I play the Doge committee here for a second? Sure. How did they get no faces? I think it's the water and the air in Chad.

So water and the air in Chad is so bad. The kids, about 98% of them are born without a face. Without a face. So we have to buy them eyeballs? Eyeballs, noses. Don't forget their nose. You look a little street. You look like Baltimore without a nose.

And then you need a mouth. And I think ears as well. Can I follow up? Yeah, sure. So you go ahead. have you done an environmental study to tie the water to? No, I just know that that's a problem. We know it.

Yeah. Okay. And then felt it. And I'm going to ask and answer a question real quick. Okay. Which is where are you getting all these eyeballs? Oh, your best friend? Oh, your best friend knows the company that makes eyeballs?

Oh, wow. That's a surprise. Did it get right? Did you get it right? Right. Wow. How did you know that? Yeah, I know.

It's just shocking. He makes eyeballs. Noses. And. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how I knew it. It's amazing how that happened.

They're a little bit rubbery, I guess, on the lips, but... It wouldn't happen to be one of your donors, would it? I just... It just had a curiosity. But yes. It does. Of course, nothing to do with it whatsoever. But shockingly, I got that right, too.

Yeah. Wow. That's the way the world works. It is. That is where we are. It just is. And it's pathetic. Pathetic.

And they don't want this looked into in any way because we're stopping their gravy tree right here. I mean, this this means a lot of money and a lot of power for a lot of people. And as Glenn has mentioned several times, these, more of what USAID does than save children without faces is regime change in third world nations. I mean, how many times, how many coups have they accomplished? How many times did they overthrow Ukraine? I mean, it's over and over and over.

they're using their money and these funds for something other than taxpayer certainly intend these funds to go to. Yeah, and if you could dig out whatever percentage of that budget is worthwhile, maybe there is something in there. I don't know. I mean, there are definitely some. I'm sure they've done some good. I will say there are definitely programs in there that do help people. Yeah. Now, whether that's the responsibility of the United States or the appropriate use of taxpayer dollars is another question.

but like let's make let's kind of come up with the tier process here let's say the a tier that is money that we should be spending uh on something valuable that's a a tier okay B tier is money maybe we shouldn't be spending maybe that shouldn't be our responsibility but it's still doing a lot of good oh okay okay is this like what would fit into that category for instance like a shakespearean play no no no no no no no no no no one-legged no I'm sorry you're non-binary nun in Columbia? There's a ton of non-binary nuns these days. I've noticed a huge increase.

So many. And that's why we funneled so much money to Colombia for them. So Pat, that would not fall. Okay, so that's not in category B? No. C tier is money we shouldn't be spending because it's not really our responsibility on things that don't make any difference at all. Yeah. Maybe we could put your one-legged nun into the C tier.

Don't forget, she's non-binary. They are non-binary. They are not she. not she. They are non-binary. Yes, let's get our pronouns correct. I don't even make, no what, I can't. I'm sorry, Pat. I can't. I'm sorry, I can't even put that into the C category. Because I would say that probably actually does do damage.

Most likely because the government that we're doing it under probably hates the policy. So they hate us and it's probably causing animosity in our former relations. Not to mention. We've heard that that's going on. Not to mention the non-binary thing. I don't think it's a positive. calling people non-binary. There's men and there's women. So I would say something like, let's say.

What are you going biblical on me now? Yeah, yeah, I kind of am on that one. So the C tier, let's say it like it's more like a, a normal Shakespeare, like a Romeo and Juliet in the park. Okay. Like not doing any damage. You know, but like why the heck are we paying for it? Okay.

D tier would be your one-legged none. Okay. Because if you shouldn't be spying. Non-binary none. Non-binary none. I keep forgetting that part. Man. One-legged non.

binary non-binary. I'm kind of ashamed of me right now. It's shocking. Yeah. D tier would be that, which is like, okay. Okay. So we got ABC and it does a little bit of damage. And then the E or F tiers get into what the vast majority of the portfolio is, which we shouldn't be spending it and it's doing real hardcore damage. Yeah. It's not just a we're using it to overthrow governments or it's going into somebody's bank account. Right. It's going in directly to corruption. We have a story today. I don't have it pulled up in front of me, but I believe the number is 27. of funding into, I believe it's the Department of Education's funding, goes to DEI programs. 27%. 27%. That's bonkers.

Because you think, you think, okay, well, yeah, sure, Rand Paul gets up in front of everybody and pulls out five programs and they all sound really crazy and that's it. Yeah. No. Like a quarter of the budget is going to this. Let me get the exact thing for you here. And, I mean, basically, that's what President Trump is. Trump was talking about the other day is how much of the stuff goes to absolute nonsense. And we just got to put a stop to it.

We have to. 60% is all they use for actual aid to anybody or actual help or humanitarian efforts. It's like 60% of the budget. And even that is like, I mean, is it really valuable? It's like, is it in your A category? Is it in your B category? Or is it in your C category? We don't even know.

Yeah. We don't even know. A lot of it is just blind. Yeah. Maybe that's the E category. And then the F is the one that's really doing the damages. We're building this tier list on the fly. By the way, I was slight misspeak there.

27% of National Science Foundation grants went to DEI projects. 0.29% of all grants with start dates in 2021 centered on DEI. By 2024, it was up to 27%. So from 0.29% to 27% during Biden. and tell me the guy didn't make a difference. Oh my gosh. You can say he was a disaster. You could say he was asleep at the wheel.

Yeah. The guy made a difference. The difference was negative. Right. But the difference was made. Right. More coming up in one minute. All right.

Eddie wrote in about his relief factor experience. He says, about a year or so ago, I was suffering with really awful back pain to the point that I dreaded even going out to the mailbox. This went on for months and I was starting to lose hope. But once I started taking a relief factor, within a week, the back pain was completely gone. There was no more pain. Thank you for everything.

I'm one happy customer, says Eddie. Eddie, it's great to hear that sort of stuff. We get those stories all the time. Relief factor is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which is the source of most of the pain in our bodies and a lot of disease. It's also 100% drug-free, developed by doctors to help reduce or eliminate pain. Over a million people have tried Relief Factors Quick Start Kit and 70% of them have gone on to order it again. Make 2025 the year of feeling good.

And living great. Trying Relief Factor is easy. Just get their three-week quick start kit for only 1995. It's less than a dollar a day. Right now at 1-800 for relief. 1-800, the number four relief. Give them a call. You can get that deal right now.

Or to go to ReliefFactor.com. It's a relieffactor.com. 10 seconds. Station ID. Uh-huh. Gotta say, Stu. I'm a little disappointed. Okay.

I thought you were a little more compassionate. Really? For children and Chad, born without faces. To put it, I mean, what did I put? You pretty much don't care. I guess I put them in a... Yeah, you put them in the... I'd say B, dear.

Did you say B? Yeah, it's money we shouldn't spend, but actually probably does some good. I feel like if you have no face at all and you have a great organization, like your best friend's company that's making eyeballs and noses. It's a good cause, right?

Or it could fit into E, E, or F, the corruption one. Oh, wow. It could be that one. Because it could be that you wouldn't be having to get a kickback from each sale of each eyeball, right? That wouldn't happen to be something that's going on, would it? No.

You don't have to be an investor in their, company by any chance. No. No? I just, I've been saving up for that Ferrari that I just parked in the parking lot. Because the very nice Ferrari. I've been saving up for it for a long time. I did notice you have a bumper sticker with just a bunch of eyeballs on it. I thought that was weird. Especially on a Ferrari. I don't know. It seemed appropriate. It did seem appropriate. And it does seem like exactly. Now, you didn't happen to invest in this company, let's say two weeks before the funding went out. I think it was, no, I think it was like 17 days.

Okay. Oh, okay. Yeah. You just decided one day. You're like, you know what? That eyeball company looks promising. Uh-huh. And it turned out to be a pretty good investment.

It's up like 600% now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's nice. The Nancy Pelosi plan. Not everybody has the feel I have for the market. You know what I mean?

No, that's definitely true. You do have that Pelosi-esque vibe. You just seem to nail every one of your stock picks. All of them. Yeah. Really impressive. Well, except for. Bitcoin. That's about the, there's one that I did not nail.

No. So others have and good for them. That's great. Yeah, those people. They're not going to get any eyeballs from me, though. I'll tell you that right now. They can buy their own eyeballs. Not helping him on that. Because they what? Because they already invested it. Yeah. And made a lot of money. How much time do we have here, BJ? Okay. Because I want to play what Donald Trump had to say about the hostage situation. It is, it's changed again. thanks to Hamas. And here's what President Trump said about a cut 10.

When I see that scene that I saw it today with people coming out of helicopters and airplanes that are emaciated that look like they haven't had a meal in a month. No reason for that. And I don't know how much longer we can take it. Right. I don't know how long we can take it. When I watch people that were healthy people, a reasonably short number of years ago, and you look at them today, they look like they've aged 25 years. Right.

They literally look like the old pictures of Holocaust survivors. It's the same thing. I mean, the same thing. And I don't know how long we're going to take this. He has said that the hostages, all of them, need to be returned by Saturday at noon. Or all hell breaks loose. And then so the next question was, what does that mean? And he said, they'll find out.

And so will you on Saturday if they don't return the hostages. But this drips and drabs thing that they've been getting away with now for a month with Hamas, it's not right. And it needs to stop. We just need to have the hostages return. What is this game? What is this game we're playing here? Bazaar.

Give them back. Yeah. Give them back now. And we're not giving you 200, criminals in return for them. But that's what's been going on so far. This is Glenn Beck. After more than a year of war, terror, and pain in Israel, there is still a great demand for basic humanitarian aid. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has supported and continues to support those in the Holy Land still facing the lingering horrors of war and those who are

in desperate need right now. Your ongoing monthly gift of $45 will provide critically needed aid to communities in the north and south devastated by the ongoing war. Your generous donation each month will deliver help to those in need, including evacuees and refugees from war-torn areas, first responders, volunteers, wounded soldiers, elderly Holocaust survivors, families who have lost everything. You can give hope during a time of great uncertainty. I urge you please give a gift to bless Israel and her people by visiting supportifcj.org. That's one word, support IFCJ.org. Or call 888-48-48-8-48-8-48-8-48-8-48-48-4-3-25.

Glenn back. Miss his show? Listen anytime, anywhere, podcasts you're found. Stick around. More after the break. Great to have you with us. 8-727B-E-C-K. Valentine's Day is on...

What day? Is it Sunday? Friday? Oh, no, it's Friday. Yeah. Wow. I mean, I assume you know that from the reservations you've already booked. Right.

Right. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Yes. That's why it was so busy when I booked it. And we had to go in there some other time than I usually wanted to go in. Oh, really?

Yeah. Yeah. And so, yeah, but that's all set. Because I think ahead. I'm not like the procrastinators who have put this off and now are just trying to scramble right now. But if you're one of those people who have put things off until now, Gosh, I wonder if there's any kind of cookie order you could place. Oh, probably not.

To take advantage of a 10% off sale right now. I doubt it because they're... Four procrastinators in particular. Oh, really? Yes. I like that. I don't know. It looks like a foreign language like it's from Finland or something.

Kexie. I don't know what that means, but... K-E-K-S-I? Yeah. Yeah, like kexy.com where you could go there and get 10% off cookies and save yourself. And then on orders over $100, we'll pick up the shipping tab. So I don't know about we. I don't know who.

I think I'm using we in the royal sense there, but caccci.com for them. The president has been talking about tariffs lately, which I know you love, Stu. I know you're a big, big fan and advocate of tariffs. I'm not a big fan of tariffs. Wait, when did that happen? I know. It's a shocking turn. I just had it over the weekend.

Oh, okay. Totally changed to my mind. Did you have to pay. Based on the political wins. Extra at some kind of shop where they're selling eagles paraphernalia or something and that pissed you off a little bit? Yes. I was, yeah. I want my imported eagles material to be very cheap.

Yeah, as an economic policy, not a fan of it. I don't think it works and don't think it's a good way to go. That being said, of course, I don't think that's usually how they work with the Trump administration. It's mostly just threats. and negotiation and negotiation and so that it certainly does work for that and of course there's limitations on that but it certainly works so far yeah we've seen it we've seen it in a couple of countries not just columbia and uh but also uh you know Mexico Canada brought them right to the table brings them to the table yeah it does it is you know it's been effective in that way so far now will we come up

with an arrangement where it's agreeable to both it's happened last I hope so and now of course the last time was the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement, which negotiated, which eliminated all these tariffs. Right. And now, I mean, now he wants. And then they got placed back on American products during Biden. And so this, you know, they keep calling when we assess a tariff on a product from another nation. And then they respond. We're told that that's retaliation.

Well, no. we're the ones who retaliated against what was being charged to us. What he said the other day was, if you charge us, we're going to charge you. That seems fair. I mean, I don't like the plan, but I do love it as a negotiation tactic. And I think it's been pretty effective that way. But he's talking about placing tariffs. And I think this already went.

Did it go into effect the producers of steel? The tariffs on steel. Here he is talking about that cut 25. So the failed American trade policies have. led our once incredible United States steel and aluminum industries once incredible. It's once incredible. They're not now, but they're not bad. I saved them because of my first term.

Totally saved them. If I didn't do what I did, I put massive tariffs, not the highest level, but pretty, pretty massive tariffs. We got, we took in a lot of money and we took in a lot of jobs. But we were being pummeled by both friend and foe alike. Our nation requires steel. and aluminum to be made in America, not in foreign lands. We need to create in order to protect our country's future resurgence of U.S. manufacturing and production, the likes of which has not been seen for many decades. It's time for our great industries to come back to America.

I want to back to America. This is the first of many. And you know what I mean by that. We're going to be doing others on other subjects, topics. Protecting our steel and aluminum industries is a must. And today I'm simplifying our tariffs and steel and aluminum so that everyone can understand exactly what it means. It's 25% without exceptions or exemptions. And that's all countries, no matter where it comes from, all countries. It made in the United States, however, United States of America, there is no tariff, zero. So if it's made in the United States, there is no tariff. All you have to do is make it in the United States.

We don't need it from another country. As an example, Canada, if we make it in the United States, we don't need it to be made in Canada. We'll have the jobs. That's why Canada should be our 51st day. We'll bring back industries and we'll bring back our jobs and we'll make America industry great again. Oh, man. So I think the end result of this, if he has to follow through and actually place the tariff on these products, there's going to be some pain involved.

You know, and can we write that out? will be the question or will that hurt his presidency to a point where he can't recover from it. That's the fear here because if you start a trade war and things get ugly for two years, that midterm election is not going to go our way. Correct. That is the risk. Yeah. I mean, it's one of the risks of that policy. And I think, you know, that's something he's been very honest and forthright about that it's going to cause pain.

And it is. the you know you think about the best way to think about tariffs is it's not a policy that's good it's what it is good to do is to help achieve another goal yes if you can utilize it to get something else of higher value eventually it can be beneficial or if it levels the playing field to where American products aren't taxed by other countries to the point where their people their citizens can't buy them but like that's still not a good outcome. Yeah. Right. Like the it's not a positive.

It's just more fair. It's like how the left looks at, you know, income inequality. Like, well, what if we just take a bunch of money away from rich people and everyone's poor? Well, okay, I guess that's more fair. That's not necessarily a good policy for everybody. I think the issue with tariffs

are you're saying like, we're going to cause pain on ourselves and we're going to cause pain on you. On your, on the opponent. And we are saying, We can survive that pain more successfully. We can withstand it more. We will be, we'll stand up to it.

We'll deal with it until you cry out for relief. And then we'll get rid of all this and we'll get whatever we want. That's kind of like the approach of tariffs. And Trump has used it successfully as far as threats. He has now he's also like, you know, he did, he put 20% tariff on washing machines back when he was in his first term. Right. And this is stunning to hear. but it made washing machines go up by about 20%.

What a coincidence. It's shocking. It's a shocking development. Yeah. Huh. Really? I believe the actual number was 16.82% or something like that. And the reason was the imports went in and they came up about 20%.

And then you'd think, well, wouldn't it be less than that, 16%, because there's a lot of, there's still are domestically made products. Wouldn't that lower it? And it did. But what happened was the domestic. domestic companies were like, well, everyone else is going up by 20%. We can at least go up by like 10 or 12. So then they went up to just get a bunch of free money to them, which again, is great for that company, I suppose.

But overall, it costs American consumers a bunch of cash. I mean, look, we're not idiots. It's a tax. It's what it is. It's a tax. And look, taxes are bad generally. However, when you need to fund defense, we're all like, okay, we can deal with taxes in that circumstance.

That's what you're dealing with tariffs. Interestingly, too, Stu, it's interesting that you mention that particular aspect of a tax because that's one of the things that the Constitution specifies you can tax for. Yes. A common defense. It's actual function of the government. Our government has gotten a little bit out of its gourd on what counts as a function of government. Just a bit.

But I think, like, you know, when you see a tax come in, we all know what that's not, you know, taxes don't help your economy, but they can do things if you believe they're leading to something positive. You know, most taxes don't. In this case, you might say, well, we want to maintain American manufacturing. We want to increase American manufacturing. Therefore, this tax is worth it. Like, that's this calculation being made. Right.

And that's a calculation that all governments must make. It's just a matter of whether you think these are the right things or not. How about the just really mean attitude of Donald Trump that people should come in to their workplace, though. Oh, that's me. Aren't you pissed off about that? Angry. I'm about it.

I'm about it. I'm about it. I'm about it. Well, we see what Glenn is out, he's out protesting it today. Right now. Yeah.

He hates coming to work so much. He's taken the day off to avoid a hearing. He's a bad example because he really does. He does work remotely quite a bit. He does. But that is, you know, that's a good thing about owning a company. Yep. You know, you do get to do such.

They can do that. You know, these federal employees, they don't own the company. They don't get to make those decisions. Here's what he said about nobody works from home. Many of those people, and we talk about reporting to work, right? I happen to be a believer that you have to go to work. I don't think you can work from home. I don't know.

It's like, there's a whole, you can work from home. Nobody's going to work from home. They're going to be going out. They're going to play tennis. They're going to play golf. They're going to do a lot of things. They're not working. It's a rare person that's going to work.

might work 10% of the time, maybe 20%. I don't think you're going to work a lot more than that. And I think they have an obligation to work. And they have an obligation not to have a second job when they're supposed to be working for the federal government. You're going to find that a lot of these people had second jobs instead of working for, they'll be collecting a federal government check and they'll be working two jobs. And that's big trouble for them.

There's a good chunk of the workforce that you can tell a lot about them, how they pulled that process off during COVID. Like the lazy workforce just didn't work or worked like a few percent of the time just to get by. But the real entrepreneurs just got another job to fill the time that they weren't working for the real job. That's when you had that sort of inspiration, you're like, you know what, I'm just going to take another job. I'm going to work at 20 percent. And then I'll make double the money. That's the entrepreneurship.

Our country was built on. It really is. It's fascinating to watch this process, though, because those who are, who have been allowed for the last few years to work from home have become so entitled with that now that how dare you now ask me to make that commute? What's incredible is that when all this trophy participation trophy culture began, I thought, wow, wait till you join the real world. Wait until the time when you have to go out and get a real job

and be actually held accountable for that job you're doing and have to go in 9 to 5 every single day and actually work. You're going to be so shocked. Well, it didn't work out that way. What shocked me was instead, businesses to a large extent, are actually caving into the participation trophy people. So the young people aren't learning any lessons. They're just realizing that, man, we can get them to bend to our will.

Well, Trump's not going to. No. Trump is bucking that trend. This is sometimes like, everyone's like, oh, we need a new, a new view of leadership. Sometimes you just need the guy who's been around for a while. It's like, screw you. Yeah. You know, sometimes you just need that. You just need the guy who's going to be like, now, now, I've been around for 70 years.

I know what you're doing. No. Yeah. And you need that sometimes. It's refreshing. 3,8-727-B-E-C-K. This is Glenn Beck. Thanks to the generosity of people just like you, the tunnel to towers found

welcomed U.S. Army Specialist Brett Menard to a new mortgage-free smart home in Florida. Brett decided to list in the U.S. Army after being motivated by 9-11 and his desire to be a part of something that truly matters. While on a road clearance mission in Afghanistan, Brett's vehicle was blown up by an IED. The blast left Brett a T4 paraplegic with traumatic brain injury and compartment syndrome in both arms. He's unable to use his legs. He had severe internal injuries. And he needed a total face reconstruction because his bones and teeth were shattered in the explosion. I can't believe this guy live, but he did. Despite the overwhelming challenge, Brett's spirit remained unbroken and because of people like you, tunnel to towers

built him a specially adapted smart home that allows people like him catastrophically injured heroes to live more independently. Would you consider being involved in great work like this? Tunnel to towers. That's t2t.org. Donate $11 a month to t2t.org. T the number twot.org. Great to have you with us. Triple-8-727B. ECK, Pat and Stu for Glenn today. Glenn returns tomorrow. Let's see. I was just about to get into Pete Hague, Seth, who I think is going to be such a great

defense secretary. I mean, the guy, he's no nonsense. We've got some people in office right now and in positions of power that just don't care what you think about them. They've gotten a mandate from the president, and they're just bulldozing anybody who gets in their way. It's fantastic. Hague Seth is one of those. Here he is arriving in Germany. Look, Air Canada,

does a sold world. Super, an offer for the assort. Station thermal, volcano. You've seen the price for the Japan? Mepard and sushi. Wow, the solds are good for Mayork also. We could go to the plage and make a round-doner. Or, it would say a long march on the board of the man.

in Sicil. Hmm, I adore the cannoli. Wait, this sold is dinsury limited. Reserved to air canada.com or at your agent of voyage. The conditions

apply. Okay, so he's just getting off the plane. Ready to put the hammer down on somebody something. What he said the other day though was great

that the stupidest thing he's ever heard in his life was that the military's focus was going to be on diversity equity and inclusion. That is kind of the dumbest possible thing, right? Yeah. Yeah.

And he basically said, look, we're getting back to what the military focuses on. I mean, I don't care what color you are. I don't care what culture you come from. I don't care what language you speak. You just have to be able to do the job and do it well. And isn't that how you want your military to operate? I certainly do. And when you've got a budget of 800,

billion dollars. I think this is another thing that's coming up quickly. And Glenn mentioned yesterday that he's excited about this. I am too because we're supposed to be the kind who just fall in line with everything militarily. But you've got to believe that there's a lot of waste and a lot of fraud in the military industrial complex. Oh, yeah. As they deal with defense contractors and all of that. I bet it's hundreds of billions of dollars.

Has to be. has to be i mean what was it dick cheney on september 10th 2001 said it's rumsfeld was it was it was rumsfeld yeah said that we were missing was it three trillion it was somewhere one to three trillion it was over a trillion dollars that was just missing i don't know where it is and then nine eleven happened and nobody paid any attention to it but i've never heard where that money went and it's Probably still going wherever that black hole is. Yep, maybe we should look into it. You think?

Yeah, I think so. That's a weird stance. Is it too picky of me? I don't know if we have time. Yeah. All right. Well, at least you can support children and Chad without faces, right, and help them find the eyeballs they so desperately need.

This is Glenn Beck.
