We're going to start with a little bit of history and a little perspective and how things just have not changed with the press. We'll explain in 60 seconds. First,

let me tell you about relief factor. You know, after a while, you stop thinking about pain, not because it's gone, but because you built your life around the pain. You can. You can't. You can't sleep in a certain position, you walk a certain way, you sit a little differently, you turn down invitations without thinking about why, it's just habit now. You have a life designed around limitations, and I don't know about you, but I really wanted to end that cycle, and I have relief factors for people who are tired of managing the pain and ready to start living life. Instead, it's natural, a drug-free supplement designed to fight the underlying inflammation that causes so many types of pain, joint pain, back pain,

shoulder pain and so much more. Millions have tried it, and it's like hitting the reset button on your body. If you're living with aches and pain, see how relief factor daily, drug-free supplement can actually help you feel and live a better life every day. You have their three-week quick start a try for only 1995 in a few weeks and even days. Feel the difference relief factor can make. You don't have to be stuck living with pain. Try relief.com or call 800 the number four relief. 800, the number four relief. Well, it was on this day, it was May, actually, May 7th, that Germany in 1945 signed the end of the war.

But we didn't know about it, and we don't celebrate it until today. In fact, Donald Trump said that we need to start celebrating this as Victory Day. You know, it's VE Day today, the victory in Europe. We had VJ Day, victory in Japan a few months later. But it was actually yesterday that is the anniversary of victory in Europe. However, what happened was Stalin didn't like the fact that his people weren't there. And so they had the armist and they had signed the peace treaty. But Stalin wasn't.

Stalin's people weren't there. And they said, we don't accept that. and we need one of our people there. So, no. And so everybody knew that peace was coming the next day. There would be another peace treaty, but no one could announce it. And there was a guy that you've never heard of. And if this doesn't just show you how things, the more things change, the more everything stays exactly the same.

there was a there was a reporter and he was there at the peace treaty he saw the peace treaty signed so he knew exactly what was going on

well he phones in to New York and he dictates and he says hey there is peace we are out of war. And before he even hangs up the phone, it is already going out to media places all over the world because it's victory.

So he's not even finished dictating. Then the line is cut. He's told you can't say that because Stalin wants to have his people there tomorrow. And he's like, but we do have peace. We're at an armistice now. We have peace. You can't say that. So he was at a crossroads. What do I do? We have peace. And the United States government came to him and said, you can't say anything about it. And he's like, wait, we have a rule here that if it's going to cost people's lives, then I can't say it. That's the deal with the associated

Press. You can tell us it's going to cost lives of our soldiers and then you can keep it secret. But this is not. This is actually saying there's peace. So you can't tell me not to release that. They went back and forth and this reporter decided, I'm releasing it. So hours later, he does it again and he releases it officially and says, peace. Well, when he does it, Now the Associated Press won't pick it up. Now nobody else will pick it up. And by the next morning, all of the people that he was working for and working with all of his friends, he was a huge war correspondent at the time.

You don't know his name because of this story. But he was one of the biggest war correspondents of the time. He releases it by the next morning, all of his colleagues are calling him a traitor. And he's like, guys, I was there. I saw them sign it. All they have to do is affix the signature of the Soviet on there. And it's done. And it's going to be done at 1 p.m. today. I included that in my story that Stalin wasn't there.

He wanted to make sure that his signature was a fix. So it's going to happen tomorrow. But we are actually at peace. And we have been for 24 hours. they all turned on him and they all called him a traitor. Then the Associated Press blackballs him. He can't find a job. Nobody wants to work with him.

One person decides to give him a job, and I think it's in Santa Clara, California. It's a newspaper, small newspaper. This is a very big guy, a huge war correspondent. He gets a job at a local newspaper. There's a statue of him. in town now. Under the statue, it just says the man who gave the world 24 hours of peace. He's in a car crash in like 1963. He dies. After that, and after all of this passes, the Associated Press decides to come out and say, you know what, we were wrong. We were wrong.

We shouldn't have handled it. That was a very tough day for all of us, and we handled that incorrectly. And he was actually right. And we're super, super sorry. We'll never do that again. He didn't live to see his name restored. In 2011, he was up for a Pulitzer Prize, but they gave it to somebody else. I don't know who they gave it to, probably somebody in gender studies. But they don't have a rule about resubmitting him.

and hopefully he'll finally get his justice. But as the day is today, VE Day, the recognition, and Donald Trump just said yesterday that America really needs to call this Victory Day, and we need to commemorate it because everybody in Europe commemorates this day. Everybody in Europe is grateful for the United States on this day every year. And we kind of blow past it. And maybe we shouldn't. Because it was on this day that we defeated totalitarianism.

We defeated fascism. And we started a war with another version of that, communism. But at least for the day, we had peace. This was the day that famous picture was taken in Times Square with the sailor and the nurse kissing. They didn't know each other. By the way, that now in our national archives, that picture now has a warning label on it, saying how inappropriate it was because they didn't know each other, and this was male sexual aggression. But here's the thing.

Here's what I just want to leave you with this. I don't know when it'll be. Maybe it'll be in 30 years. Maybe it would be in 70 years. But all the people, every American, every source. scholar, everybody who's in the press, they're going to come back and they're going to say, you know, that was really a mistake when we did all of that. That was really bad.

And we shouldn't have done that. And it was a really troubled time. We didn't know exactly what we were doing. And you can't blame us now. And we'll never do that again. And the cycle will repeat. But at least you know that all of this nonsense is going to be corrected at some point. and your name, my name, might be run through the mud, but it doesn't matter.

He didn't do it for the statue. He didn't do it for his name to live on forever. He did it just because it's right, and that's exactly the reason you and I do what we do. Because it's the right thing. It's the right thing for us. It's the right thing for our children. It's the right thing for our families. So while cities are making up new flags because they just want to celebrate,

the diversity as people are now fighting for gang members to have to go through court before we can deport them. Don't worry. All of this stuff, the truth always prevails. It's just going to take some time. But look at what's happening. It's all coming undone exactly the way these totalitarian regimes. regimes, these ideas of progressives, fascists, dictators, they all start out in celebrating

the people and everybody's all excited about a new idea, but it's the same old idea that ends up in chains. And then it's revealed and people become sane again. And the world goes back to the way it should be. focused on truth. So happy VE Day today. You ever sign something without reading the fine print? I mean, we all have terms of service, software agreements, those long contracts you scroll through just to click, I agree. I mean, you have no idea what word signed every time. Here's the thing. When you sign up with most big

cell phone companies, you're agreeing to a whole lot more than service. You're agreeing to let part of your bill go toward political causes that you might completely disagree with. Abortion lobbies, gender theory in schools, leftist advocacy groups. That's in the fine print. You just didn't know it. Patriot Mobile does things differently. They give you a great affordable coverage on the nation's most reliable networks, but unlike the others, they actually fund causes that you believe in. And they'll tell you up front. So if you don't believe in them, don't sign up with Patriot Mobile. but if you do, why are you still with the other people? Religious freedom to pro-life organizations,

first responders, and our veterans. If you're going to pay a phone bill anyway, shouldn't you do it with somebody who stands with you? Switch today. Stop funding the opposition.

A nice historical opening to the program today. By the way, his name, so everybody knows, is Ed Kennedy. Ed Kennedy. Ed Kennedy. He said, this is Ed Kennedy. No, not Ted. I didn't kill anyone. This is Ed Kennedy in Paris.

The war is over. going to dictate. Germany has surrendered unconditionally. That's official. Make the date and get it out. That's what he said. And it was so wrong. We should blackball him for the rest of his life. Isn't it crazy how things just keep repeating? Yeah, yeah. You're more confident, I think, than I am that we're going to be seen as, you know, at least here and on earth as doing the right thing. You know, I don't know. We will. I don't know how long you have to wait for that one.

Is it 50 years? Is it 5,000 years? Or maybe not at all? You know, I mean, look at Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King wasn't accepted for what? Maybe 20 years after his death by the vast majority of people. Yeah, yeah. It'll be interesting to see if that happens to today's conservatives.

We won't be around to see. No. Maybe it will someday. I think it will. I think it will. I also, I should say, though, I don't care. I don't. Oh, I don't do it for this.

I hate the term the right side of history. It's just that's like, history is just history. History is people judge things all the time. At some point, maybe they will agree. I don't know. But the end of the day is you do the right thing because it's the right thing. Our job is to bend history towards the truth. That is our job.

If you look at framework and it's just shooting out everywhere, our job, each of us, is to bend it closer to the truth as we possibly can, get it to follow eternal truths as much as we can. And, you know, here's why it's all going to fall apart. Do you hear about Walt Disney's company? Sorry, I hate to say that about Walt Disney. It's not his company anymore. Not at all.

Yeah, it kind of went awry here recently. I've noticed. I've noticed. You know, they threw a big fit about, you know, Disney being in Florida because they have the don't say gay law, which they don't have never existed. That's all made up. All of it made up. Don't say gay.

Okay. So what do they do? They did everything they could to thwart the government of Florida because they said, which was not true, that they were trying to enact a law that said, you can't say gay. Okay. So Disney announced yesterday that they are building a new Disneyland. in Abu Dhabi where homosexuality is illegal

is not don't say gay it's kill the gays all right but they don't have any problem with that what is the problem with that I mean okay so we we stood against Ronda Santas for something he didn't say and we stood against that law

that wasn't real but we are going to go do business and bring the happiest place on earth to the saddest place on earth for any homosexual on earth. Well, I shouldn't say that. Iran might be a little worse. But it's the same ideology. So how long does that have to, how long does that have to go on? Before, you know, before you stop having the, all over Europe, I saw free Palestine spray painted on everything.

And I'm like, mm-hmm. And then you would see, you know, the gay flags and everything else. And they were always right next to the free Palestine stuff. And you're like, I don't know if you guys, maybe we should do this in a Sesame Street thing from NPR. One of these things just doesn't belong. You go ahead and march for your gay rights or march just in solidarity as a group. of gay people around Hamas you're gonna be mighty popular so how long does it take before people are like you know ah this wasn't working out well for us how many gay people is

it going to take to work for Disney in Abu Dhabi before they're like um you really shouldn't say you're gay here shh keep that to yourself it doesn't seem like the media ever gets upset about that though. No, they don't. There's some level of, it's just kind of okay for people in the Middle East to want to target LGBTQQIA2 plus people.

Christians. Right? Anybody who thinks differently? Yeah, I mean, it's weird. It seems like that's just okay there. Unless it's Israel, obviously. If they were to do something like that, which they don't. They don't. But if they did, then that would be something that I assume would be horrific and terrible

and it was a genocide or something. But any other country in that region seems to be able to do whatever the hell they want. So that should tell you everything you need to know. I mean, the sides are so obvious right now. You know, all you need to do is just ask yourself some common sense questions. That's it. Am I with people who say they're for gay rights but also are standing with people that want to kill gay people in their own country? might be on the wrong side.

Might be on the wrong side. Am I somebody who believes in freedom of speech, but I'm pushing to have freedom of speech just contained to what I believe is true? You're on the wrong side. I mean, it's really not hard. Yeah. It's just not hard.

And that decision is made whether it's right or wrong. That's the history point I was making earlier. It's like, you know, we've seen a lot of things where, like, I think in our lifetimes, things that we I mean like you know the Reagan era happens right I think we all kind of get to a point

it seemed like for a while there like certain things we agreed on were right about about that era and went well and now there's questioning of some of the elements of that era and it's like that's good again some things might be worth questioning some things might not right but beyond that

the point is you don't the perception of history changes right Whether it was right or wrong at that time, whether it's right or wrong eternally, that doesn't change. What changes is people's perception of it. Different people get into power. People say, well, wait a minute, actually, this was wrong or whatever, if you try to base your decision-making on what you think will be the approved solution 50 years from now, 70 years from now, 100 years from now, you're not, I don't think you're thinking about it the right way. Because, I mean, look, this is a very good example.

The approved solution. They had one in Germany, and they thought it was going to be the solution for the future. It was the final one. Turns out, not so much. Yeah, no, it was actually a really bad idea. Though I will say, look, here we are. American universities embracing it once again. So you never know if the final solution comes around again.

Glenn, you might be on the right side of history after all. I just, that's the wrong way to think about it. This is why we have these. there's a book written a while ago it's called the Bible we'll get into it later this is Glenn Beck I haven't read that

yeah it's you see these long-term solutions we'll talk about it later ever notice your dog will eat a dead bird a sock a shoe maybe sometimes I mean I mean maybe even a fossilized taco

if it was out there it's probably in the right by the floorboards of Stu's car but and then he won't touch his own food okay it's like he signed a contract to annoy you here's the truth. You might be on to something. Most dog food is basically nutritional sawdust. It is. It's cooked at

very high temperatures until every natural enzyme in probiotic is completely gone. And then it's sprayed with synthetic vitamins and shoveled into a bag that promises real chicken flavor. Your dog knows, uh, not so much. This is not a dog food. This is a nutritional topper that you add to your dog's existing food. And it is full of real natural ingeuvre. ingredients that help with digestion, energy, coat health, joints, and so much more, the boring kibble food starts to look better than the dead bird.

You know, Stu and I were just talking about being on the right side of history and you don't know what the right side of history is going to be. You have no idea. I mean, you can guess, but there are people that are guessing, you know,

cutting little Johnny's pee-pee off and, you know, sewing breasts on him is the right side of history. I don't think so. And the reason why I don't think so is because of eternal truths. And there is, once you understand that there are,

are certain truths. Okay? I mean, let's just boil them down to, let's, Mo's 10 big ideas. Okay? Mo?

Yeah, I like to call him Mo. He went up, let's say he just went up to this hill. And he was like, I got to write 10 things down, but I didn't bring any pencil or paper. And so he starts writing them on these big rock tablets.

Oh, wow. You know, and he's like, I got 10 of them. I could write more, but it's hard to, carve these in stone. Ten will get you there most of the way. If we just had most top 10 hits

and we lived them, it's it makes life so easy. It really does. I remember before I became a Christian and before I really was practicing my faith. I thought, oh my gosh, there's so many rules. So many what I got a what I can't say what. I can't feel what. And you feel like You're overwhelmed with rules. It is the most freeing thing ever. It takes a lot of the complication out of the decision-making process, that's for sure. It does. Hey, you want to go out and do, no.

Well, what about this? No. You know, she's kind of hot. You could probably sleep. No. Who's going to know? No. I know.

Right? No. I mean, that's at least what you should be trying to do. Right. Everyone hits that standard, of course. Hey, maybe we should stand up for yes. Maybe we should help. Yes. Maybe we should exploit, no.

I mean, it is so easy. It takes all the pressure out of you and it simplifies everything. You're not making the decision based on... Of course, it's for... Religion is for the simple-minded, Stu. Well, you know, we're all pretty simple-minded. I don't know. But, I mean, I think it's like a lot of people wind up...

I think there's a lot of this in politics, where you're kind of playing this game of like, what will this look like in this amount of time, when I'm going to get reelected in 20 years. What's history going to think of me? You know, that's not the right way to make a decision. Well, you know, I don't mind that you look at it from a history. I mean, I, as a, you know, want to be historian. You look at things in history and the reason why you're supposed to learn all these things

is not for the dates and the names. I don't care about the ocean blue in 1492. That's not the important part of the story unless you want to realize why those ships were available because there was also a Jewish extermination done by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in the same year of 1492. Then maybe the date is important because it ties you to other things that seem to repeat all the time. However, I don't care about the dates. I don't care about the names. Take out your pencils, kids. This is going to be on the test.

No. No, don't take out your pencils, kids. It's not going to be on the test. Here's what should be on the test. How did we get here? How did this happen? Why were they, what were they arguing about? Why did that war happen over there?

Is there any parallel from there to now? What were the things that are happening then that are happening now? Is there anything? Were there any warning signs in? society that that was about to go to hell. That's what the Bible is. The Bible is just a collection of stories of this. Honestly, when you read it, you're like, you're the dumbest people alive.

What is wrong with you? 25 pages ago, you were all wiped out for the very same thing. And then people are like, nope, I don't remember that. And you think to yourself, these people are so stupid. It was three chapters ago. That's us. That's us. Three chapters ago, we were fighting World War II with the same exact, no, no, no, no, I'm telling you right now that a man can have a baby.

You don't think that happened? Look it up. Look it up. The University of Sexology in Berlin. That's why the book burning happened. Did you know that? That's why homosexuals should be afraid of Nazis and Christians. because they did this whole crazy,

I'm going to sew a uterus into a man. And then I'm going to make all of these documents and these books and I'm going to write about it, and I'm going to put it into the schools and have it taught to all of the children in Berlin. And the Christians were like, no, we should stop this, and nothing stopped. And so what happens?

Somebody always rises to the top, like, you know what? Trust me. I'll stop. it. And so the Christians went to the Nazis and they were like, we can control them. I mean, we're just going to use them for this thing. They'll help us get. And it was the Nazis that went in. And the first books that were burned were all of the books that are in our schools again now. So if you're a homosexual, you have an absolute right and you have a pretty good reason to distrust

the Nazis and to distrust any Christian that is like, you know what, the ends justify the means, I think we need to pair up with these people. No, what does an internal truth tell you?

The ends never justify the means. That is the number one thing that Solilinsky taught. A book by the way, dedicated to Satan.

What's the biggest thing he did? The ends justify the means. They never do. There's an internal truth. Just live with that one. Just that one. Forget about Mo. Forget about Mo.

Just that one. The ends never justify the means, which leads you to just do the next right thing. You, can I? You listen to me every day. Do you know how many people I just want to go off on all the time? I mean, I really wanted to walk into that channel store I told you about yesterday and say,

you know, Coco Channel, she was a Nazi. But I didn't. I didn't. I don't have to do that. Even when you are right in the argument, the next right thing is to not pound people. It's not because our other eternal truth is treat others like you would have them treat you. I don't want people treating me like that.

If I'm wrong, I don't want them to come and pound me and make me into a pariah. I would love for them to come to me and go, hey, Glenn, Glenn, Glenn, I know you. I know, I know. You're a logical person. I don't think like you do, but I want to just talk to you about how did you get here? Oh, I see. Wow, I didn't know that about you. I didn't know.

I see how you're connecting that now. Well, help me out. If I would say to you, no, instead of connecting that, have you thought about connecting it this way, then I can have a conversation and I can get better. That's what we're supposed to be doing. I have no idea why I'm talking to you about. this is not on my list of things to say to you today but maybe somebody needs to hear it

maybe I need to hear maybe I'm only talking to an audience of one but the ends never justify the means and just do the next right thing I think it's true and I think it does apply to our day-to-day politics and life as well I mean you think about think of how far the right and big companies went embracing a lot of the DEI stuff that we've talked about over the years. And it was not a principle of, wait a minute, we're judging people, we shouldn't be judging people by the color of their skin. We all know that's wrong.

People abandon that because they were like, well, look where the things are going. Let's get on the right side of history here. We don't want to be the last one who implements these policies. We don't want to be the last one out there saying that men can't really be women and women can't really be men. We don't want to be punished for not putting the black square up. Right. Right. We want to make sure that Instagram feed is, right, exactly.

Does anything good come from fear? If you are operating in the world of fear, are you going to be doing the next right thing? Are you, are you capable of even seeing what the next right thing is? If you just have your head down all the time and just, I don't want to get hit, I don't want to get hit, I don't want to get hit. How? I mean, yeah, I mean, you've, and you have talked about. I know this is not the point you're making, but. sometimes there is a fears can be very useful when when when are your buildings on fire it's

that's the bit we talked about this book last week or the week before thinking fast and slow right your brain works in two different ways there's those fast decisions that you're making those are the instincts the fight or flight right those things are important to people if you exist in that world all the time and you don't embrace the other side of your brain that's thinking slowly methodically logically you're nothing more than an animal yeah yes and animals eat they're young I just want to throw that one out there. I mean, here's, you want to talk about,

just do the next right thing. Let me play, cut one. This is Pam Bondi about the Epstein case. Listen to this. Yeah, the FBI, they're reviewing, there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn. And there are hundreds of victims.

And no one victim will ever get released. it's just the volume and that's what they're going through right now the FBI is diligently going through that I haven't seen that statement but I'll call him later and find out okay so in today's world well no that's just man boy love that's just what do they call that now what is it we used to it was man boy love now it's oh yeah there's a weird term for it now you know youthful attracted adults yeah something like that maps right maps right MAPs, minor attracted persons. Yeah, maps.

What a bunch of bullcrack. If that isn't, if that isn't, let me think my way through this so I can touch little children. I mean, please. And if that turns out to be the right side of history, I don't want to be on it. You make that decision based on other things. Yeah. It's always wrong. And, you know, I'm not going to judge you.

Well, I might judge you. But I know. You should judge that one. I feel like, yeah. I'm going to judge you on. that one, but I, you know, I'm not the final say on that one. There's another judge coming, you know, at some point and there was something about a millstone, but that's different. I just want to bring it back to Pam Bondi here. Pam Bondi, I think, and this was the benefit

of the doubt I gave her, and this shows me that maybe this is why they didn't release the Epstein files because they are building cases. Now, if you're building a case against Epstein, is that the next right thing? She is saying that they are reviewing tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children. Now, I don't think he was with tens of thousands of... I didn't hear the word perpetrator come from her. I heard the word victims. I heard her say tens of thousands of videos.

I heard her use the words child porn. And I heard her use the word Epstein. I did not hear the words that had anything to do. with others involved. And that's the next right thing. The next right thing is we're going through these because we want to protect all of the kids that were abused.

But the best way to protect them is a, not release their faces and their identity. But also, there were other people in those videos abusing those kids or taking the videos. And the FBI is currently building cases against those tens of thousands of people. That's what has to happen. And I'm waiting because that's the right side of history.

And I'm waiting for that to actually happen. Because when that happens, your trust in our system will grow just a little bit. Our system needs to replant seeds in good. fertile, tilled soil that says, nope, this is a good seed now, justice, and planted again. And over time, that will grow. And that's how we restore our nation.

You were talking about Disney a little earlier and how obviously they kind of have abandoned everything that Walt stood for. Every single thing. No? No. No, Walt believed in feet.

He did believe it. He had a couple of them. Their characters still have feet. That's true. In most circumstances they do. But have you seen this Nate Bargettze? You've been talking about this a little bit. There's a story out about this today. And I just, I really like it.

A comedian, by the way, he's very funny. Very funny. But he's talking about this. And he basically kind of hits themes that it sounds like you could come out of your mouth. But he's basically saying like, you know, Disney's like there's this company now. And they run by a, a businessman. They don't care about their

customers anymore. No, they don't. And, like, there could be a balance between you know, sometimes you have that, I don't know, snobby sort of entertainment. He mentioned Succession and there. But you also need like the King of Queens. You need shows that people actually just enjoy. And maybe instead of doing it for yourself,

you're doing it for the customer, for the people coming and paying for the tickets. Not for a cause. You're doing, your cause is the customer, the person that is listening, the person that is watching. You know, it's easy to forget. ammo. You buy a couple of boxes, you tuck them in a closet, you tell yourself, I'm going to pick up more later. Maybe you mean to keep a stockpile, but then life happens and you don't do it

and then when you remember it, you're like, oh, geez, price of ammo.

Hopefully some good news today, it seems like, in the economy. Yeah. Coming up here in a few minutes. Okay, so Trump is talking tariffs with the EU. They're supposed to announce something groundbreaking. With the UK. I'm sorry, yeah, with the UK. And so the UK is at the White House,

and they're supposed to tell us some major, major announcement, which would be great if we could get. cheaper toffee or whatever. We do a lot of trade with the UK and it's a good thing. Jaguar? Right, yeah. There's a big car situation. Both ways, by the way, on that.

They have tariffs on our automobiles and we don't import nearly as many as we should in there. So cars going both ways, there's not a lot. I mean, the British engineering of automobiles as an owner of an I can tell you, not always. Not necessarily the best. As a former owner of an old Jaguar, not really good. Yeah, yeah. You know, but, but look, we should have a really free trade relationship with Great Britain. We should. It's been in the works for, for a long time. It had almost been agreed on a million times. I'm glad that we, what do you think it's going to be? I hope it's that. I mean, again, you know, you hope it's what? A free trade agreement where we're knocking out all these tariffs and, you know, and, you know, and, you know, and. able to exchange goods. I think it's great. Now, I mean, that's not what everybody thinks, obviously. And that's, that tends to be our view of, of how the economy should work, is particularly with our allies. That's not how everybody believes. I mean, this will do nothing to bring manufacturing jobs back if, if that's, if that's what this is, is a, you know, a situation where we're

lowering tariffs on everything. I have, I mean, that's not, that's not what, the way I was looking at that as a goal. A lot of people do have that goal, though, so important to acknowledge it. But I think what we'll probably get here is a really good improvement in our trade relationship with the UK. And that's great. That's what I wanted at the beginning. And I hope that's what we get. Besides cars, what do we get from the UK, really? Look this up.

Look this up. What are the big? Because I can't think of a single thing. British teddy bears? Yeah, well, that's a big one. It's British teddy bears. You know, what's that teddy bear movie? That stupid...

Paddington? Paddington. By the way. I get Paddington's. The highest rated movie of all time. Did you know this? The best reviewed movie of all time. Paddington 2.

The best reviewed movie of all time is Paddington 2. I didn't see one. Will I understand Paddington 2? I would assume you would. Okay. It's about a talking bear. Right. You know, in a ring coat.

Moved in with a guy from Downton Abbey. I mean, what does that movie not have, you know, right now? You're like, oh, Glenn, I didn't know it was about a talking teddy bear with a guy from Doughton Abbey, how did I miss it? Yeah. You know? No, but that is an actual, I mean, and I think they did wind up finding one negative review from multiple years ago, which changed this from a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating to 99.

But like Paddington 2, for whatever reason, is like apparently the most amazing movie ever made, according to critics. I'm not, fact check me on this. Is he a trans bear? No. He does have an open rain code though for a lot of it. Okay. There's a little bit too much showing.

All right. This little man bear love. You know what I mean? That's all it is. That's all it is. Paddington 2. Well, as I said, had a perfect 100% score.

A new negative review by a freelance critic from 2017 dropped it to 99%. So this was due to review that was found on a blog post. The movie's top spot was briefly replaced by Citizen Kane. Oh my. But a resurfaced negative. Hold on, hold on. Horson Wells. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I mean, I know what you went through. Do you have any idea what that bear went through? A lot. That's very true. But so at that point, it was Citizen Kane number one, 100%. Paddington 2 at 99%.

However, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a surface negative review from an 80-year-old Chicago Tribune story caused the citizen Kane also to drop to 99%. Same guy? I think it might have been the same guy. It might have been Paddington himself. Right. Okay.

So here's what. Oh, I already did this because I thought you were just going to give you Paddington info, which by the way is the thing. It's the one thing you're going to remember out of today's show. It really will. That's how sad our work is. I just want you to know, we go home and we're like, we said all those important things and all they're going to take home was the Paddington Bear thing.

I will be out at like Little League practice and one of the dads would be like, wait, Paddington 2? That's what I'll get out of today's show. Okay, pharmaceuticals and medical products, prescription drugs, vaccines, medical equipment and devices. That's the number one thing we import. I think maybe we should play ball with that. You know what I mean?

Let's keep the drugs rolling in. Automobiles and automotive parts, luxury vehicles, a Jaguar mini Land Rover. Rolls Royce still made in Bentley is still made in England. Is Rolls Royce? Rolls Royce is BMW now?

I know. They've all bought each other so many times. I don't know. And Jaguar is Stalantis? What is a? Yes, I think you're right. And then what country owns that? I don't know. Is that an English? And Lotus, we've talked about this, is now making some of their vehicles in China, even though they're still a British company. So I don't know how any of that works.

It's going to be a lot to unwind. Aerospace products. Aircraft engines, especially from Rolls-Royce. You know, I don't know about anybody else. I just feel better. You're getting onto an airplane and you see the Rolls-Royce logo on the jet.

Feel a little better than GE. We bring good things to life. Yeah, but really? I mean, it's an engine. I don't know. I mean, I don't want to see Rolls-Royce on my cat scan. You know what I mean? I'm getting it.

We're going to give you a. cat scan and it says Rolls Royce. I'm like, can we get something from GE, G.E. Please. Anyway, machinery and industrial equipment, precision instruments. Wow, we are scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Why? Precision instruments. That's the best you can do. You know what? All those precision instruments come from England. What, what, for how many are we buying? How many precision instruments are we buying? Glenn, the, the economy is a bit complicated. So there's a lot of, we buy all sorts of stuff from all over the place. You don't think precision instruments sound important.

I don't know what they are. It sounds important. I just, it just seems like it's a very deep category. You know what I mean? Uh-oh. Black smoke, we don't have a Pope yet. Black smoke. Whar, warp, we don't have a pope yet.

Now here's something important. Whiskey. We get whiskey. You know, I, You have a lot of that here. I have to tell you, I was poor when I was an alcoholic,

generally a trend with alcoholics. I've noticed. I've noticed. Yeah. You might not start out poor. But, you know, the deeper in alcoholism turns out the poorer you become.

But anyway, you know, I was in the airport, you know, with all of the, you know, with all of the duty-free stuff. I don't even,

I don't even know who buys it. But I realized, I mean, I was so. so American. I only drank Jack Daniels. You know what I mean? And makers what a patriot. Right? And I kind of feel like I missed out a little bit.

There's a wide world. There's a wide world. And I stopped drinking when there were all these specialty you know, like flavors and stuff. I don't know. I mean Sue, you're always helpful on this. I mean, I don't think I'd be an alcoholic

on Scottish whiskey, right? Yeah, I think yours was domestic only. Domestic only. Yeah. I'm pretty sure. So any foreign liquor you should be fine with. Okay. Then the next thing is financial and professional services. What, that's our thing.

Glenn, that's not how things work. No, that's our thing. We said a long time, we're going to stop sell stuff, but we'll provide financial services. And now the UK is horning in. I want them out of our space. You'll be surprised to hear that London has been a financial hub for a little while. Yeah, but why, really?

But why, really? I mean, they haven't been good. Look, maybe they were good in the time of like Mary Poppins, you know, and they were, they had all the bank executives singing about tuppins. Nobody knows what a tuppence is anymore. Nobody cares. I think I'm understanding your economic research a little better right now. Thank you.

Then they get chemical products. That again is our space. who are you to challenge Dow chemical? We make the best... That's right. We can make better, more deadly chemicals than anybody else. Why do they have to be deadly? Chemicals are...

Everything is made of chemicals. We're making stuff out of chemical, like cereal. We make that directly out of petroleum now. Don't horn in on that. That's us. Shovel it in my mouth. That's us. And then food and beverage.

Guinness. Okay. I believe that goes into alcohol. Well, yeah. Goes into alcohol and beverage. Give me something else. Something else. Give me one thing.

Food. British. British. Don't forget. Crumpt. What's our crumpet intake in this country? Very low. It's low.

I mean, not as low as blood pudding. Is there anything? I have no desire. I like, we were just trapped in London. And if it's, you're going to be trapped someplace by an airline, London's the place to be trapped in. I don't know if it's worth going there. But if you're going to be trapped there, it's a great place to be trapped.

You just don't want to eat any of their food. It's kind of like China, you know, except there's more dog and cat on the, on the menu in China than there is in London. But they just eat that, look, I get it. you were poor in the Roman times. You had to eat the blood and everything. I don't think you need to eat that anymore. You know, you're eating the parts of the animals that the rest of civilization has said,

you know what? We're going to throw that away. We're going to throw that away. And I just like to, America needs, I hope our tariffs are high on the food. I have a list here of the most popular British foods in the U.S. Now, one, I think, quite clearly a big one, T. If you're going to have British.

Tea? Okay, we're importing some tea. I could see that one. Number two is meat pies. No, I don't know how many meat pies we're consuming here. Fish and chips. Number three. Okay, we eat that. That's not English. We're not importing that. Cadbury chocolate. Bad. You know what that is? That's socialist chocolate. That's what that is. The eggs? Oh, Cadbury. I thought I love the eggs. You don't know the story of Cadbury? Not really. I know that they give eggs that have some weird, gooey filling in them. Yeah. Well, it all started out like fun in games until the umpalumpas are all of a sudden all in socialized medicine. And they're like, what the hell happened? Where's Willie? Cadbury actually started out as a great company. But what they decided to do is they were all progressives. And they were like, we should sterilize people. But how about we make, how about we make Easter Cadbury eggs? And then we can use that to fund our sterilization. programs. But they actually built the whole town in the factory and they built the education, everything else. They actually, they were really, honestly, this part of Cadbury is really good

as well as the eggs. But they're, I mean, please. There's two places that make chocolate. Okay, Switzerland, maybe a little Germany. I don't know. You need a little spice of a, you know, maybe a little Nazi in it. But there's Nazi chocolate. There's Nazi chocolate. There's Swiss chocolate. You can't tell the difference between the two. And then there's Hershey chocolate. Cadbury, nobody likes you. I don't know what you're talking about. Nobody likes it. I support all chocolate choices. No, no, no. Socialist. So anyway, they decided to build this socialist utopia. And the

Cadbury company was like this whole town. They built the whole town where people could live and everything else. And now that's how they build these companies in China. So there you go. Let me. Wait. You're going to blow up the trade deal. Let me just tell you about Trump's like, we had a deal until Glenn Beck just went on and talked about Canberry. Look it up, my friend. Legacy Box.

Well, I'm really, I mean, it could be that we're just stalling because we had planned having the president on telling us about. And so we have nothing right now. But there's another thing.

You don't get Stalantis. That's the Netherlands. There you go, in the Netherlands. By the way, we have a trade surplus with the U.K. I don't know if that's important to people. It's not particularly important to me, but it is something that a lot. lot of people think about. And so this is not one of those countries that we have a trade deficit with. Right. Because they're shipping us blood pudding. I mean, who wouldn't have a surplus?

The people of England are like, please help us. We were eating blood pudding in the year 900. They're still trying to make us eat it. That's what's happening over there. Cadbury communist. What about like, what is it, the strawberries and Cream, Wimbledon, a little Wimbledon breakfast? I don't know. I don't know anything about that, Stu. I'm not one of the elites.

I don't know your strawberries. Strawberries and Cream stories. You just went on a 25-minute rant about socialism and Cadbury. Yeah, that's right. It's about the working people. It's about the working class. Okay? Tell you that right now. Not the people who attend Wimbledon. No, not those people.

that's that tennis thing, right? It is a tennis thing. That's right. It's a good job. I thought it was either that or that horse race thing that they do where they all dress up like they're in Mary Poppins. The horse race thing that they dress up like that. Yeah, they've got that thing. What is it?

No, that's the Kentucky Derby. That's in Kentucky. Sarah's like, it's a Kentucky Derby. No, we're, my understanding is Kentucky is owned still by Great Britain. Great Britain? Yes, that was one of the things that didn't get in the war. Do you know why the Kentucky Derby runs the direction it runs? I don't.

It runs in the direction it runs as a slap in the face to England. We run our horses the opposite direction. Really? Yeah. That's interesting. See, I did know that. How could, but you don't know what Wimbledon is? I don't understand.

I know what Wimbledon is. That really angry guy used to play at Wimbledon all the time. John Henry or what was his name? John McEnroe. John McEnroe, that guy. Yeah, he was fun. You are, your knowledge. I just brought you the Cadbury story just off the top of my head.

Yes, and we should be clear to anyone from Cadbury. It was just off the top of his head. I don't know. Anything you read that disagrees with it, propaganda. Communist propaganda. Are you, what should we take from this trade deal? We don't know what it is yet, but I mean, is this going to be, you think this is a big sign for more things to come?

a bunch of other countries on the way. I don't know. I mean, now, I don't know. Did the British burn down the White House? How come we're not seeing him go into the White House with the British right now? I don't know what's happening. We don't know what's happening. We could be a war.

We could be a war with great. Who knows? Who knows? Well, that's been fun. We have Anna Paulina Luna on with us in just a second. And she just filed a bill to get rid of the Patriot Act. Any chance? More with her next.

This is Glenn Beck. And of course, the president will walk out as soon as we start with that interview. Anyway, let me talk to you about Lear Capital. Ever try to win a game where the rules keep changing while you're playing it? You know, they devalue the dollar, but you have saved responsibly. You invest in stocks, the market tanks on a tweet. You buy a house, interest rates double out of nowhere. You pay your taxes.

They talk about raising them again. It's like they're doing everything, you know, that they can because you're doing everything right, but they just keep moving the goalposts. Meanwhile, the people who make the rules, have you noticed they're not really worried? They're hedged. They've got diversification. They have hard assets. They have battles.

They have insider trading that you don't have because you'd go to jail. But maybe it's time that you have some of the things that they have. And that is knowledge. Lear Capital makes it easy to add physical gold or silver to your retirement portfolio. This is what's happening all over the world. There's a run on gold right now. Gold is, what, $36, $3,500 an ounce? That was insane 18 months ago.

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna is with us, her first term as a representative for Florida's 13th congressional district. She is with us now, a member of the House Freedom Caucus. And she's just introduced the American Privacy Restoration Act that will fully repeal the Patriot Act. Congresswoman, welcome to the program. Hey, Glenn. I'm happy to be back. Thank you. So, I mean, is there any chances going to happen?

Well, I think previously there likely wasn't an appetite for this. But right now, especially with the momentum we're seeing out of the White House. And then also you're seeing people like Secretary Gabbard, even Secretary Radcliffe, that are doing great and doing right by the American people of the administration. I think there's an appetite for it. So I actually just got done lobbying many of my colleagues on the floor, and even talking to some Democrats about this. And so we got a number of sponsors for this, not just Republican but Democrats here to see those rollouts pretty soon,

but we're also reaching out to various constitutional rights organizations, civil liberty organizations that are going to be co-sponsoring this as well. And I think that if we create enough pressure that we can indeed not just bring this to the forefront of discussion, but also to push for there to be a floor vote on it, we just have to get many people to sponsor it. So I'm not in the mentality of accepting defeat, and I think that it's something that has been well overdue. Have you talked to Tulsi Gabbard about it? I haven't talked to Tolstie directly about this yet, but I am going to be speaking with her and saying if she'd be willing to voice her support for it as well. Would that eliminate her office? Because her office, wasn't that part of the Patriot Act?

She was the go-between, the DNI, which she is, Director of National Intelligence, is the one that is the go-between between all of the agencies to make sure that they're all talking to each other. Correct, correct. And there obviously, as you know, are many other agencies that were created because of it. And so again, in addressing this directly now, also there's an issue of the timing for the votes. But I think at the end of the day, if we are looking at overall what the Patriot Act did and how it was rushed into law after 9-11 and the end effects of that, I think that that is something that needs to be addressed. Right. So I actually even talked to Representative Crenshaw about this. And he's like, look, I'd be willing to look at the legislative. in Bill and obviously, you know, he wasn't close to the idea of it. And I think that that's pretty telling because you have Dan Crenshaw on the House Intelligence

community as well. And so when you have people like that that are starting to address this, I think that we know that it's wrong. And ultimately, you have to have someone that's going to help lead out the fight in this in Congress. And so going back to your initial question, will it eliminate her office? I don't think it would eliminate it immediately. But I do think ultimately, if we're going to fully repeal it, it will shut down different

organizations of different offices, yes. So is there anything in the Patriot that we should have a bill ready to go if you could repeal this that has some, is there anything good in the Patriot Act? Some people would argue that there is some good to it.

I would argue that it was a mass overreach and an expense of the surveillance suite. Yeah, I think right now I've been able to chat loosely on the floor with people like representative Andy Biggs, as you know, he's a privacy hawk as well. Right. And a constitutional advocate for constitutional rights.

And so we are open to working with other members to come up with the legislation that could overhaul it yet. Have you, do you know the history of the Patriot Act when it was written? Yeah. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. So what's interesting, Glenn, is part of the reason why I know about it is because after 9-11, I remember hearing my dad talking about it.

And I remember hearing my dad being really stressed out about what it was going to do to our personal freedom in this country. Right. And, you know, that whole idea and notion that Big Brother is watching, I think it's, you know, people say, oh, well, that might be a conspiracy theory mindset. And I would argue that it's not our job to just blindly trust government. And as you're seeing, not just with President Trump, but with other members of Congress, and then the more that's flushing out about the deep state and really what's happened within our intelligence agencies, I can tell you, Astor, even just on my own, going through some of the declassified documents, going back to RFK, JFK, and MLK, that we are seeing.

that there's been a systemic problem. And so when you give that type of power to the federal government, and then it's codified into law, it's an issue. And so if we're really going to live in a free and fair society, we have to make sure that we are reversing some of this bad that was put forward in the name of safety and security. Yeah, and this was something

that was written to Stu, you can maybe correct my memory on this. I mean, I'm going back 20 years, but I think that the Patriot Act was written by a guy in Virginia in the 90s, like 98, 90s, 97, 99, somewhere in that area before we had any problem.

It was to, and nobody would, nobody would hear of it. And so that's why when you say it was rushed, it really, it was rushed to the average American and to most of the people in Congress, but it wasn't. It was that blew the dust off of something that they had been trying to do in the past and no one would hear of it because it had such vast overreach in it. but we just named it the Patriot Act and there was like, that's patriotic. I got to do that. Congress does many things with, you know, the inflation reduction act doing quite the opposite.

So yes, there are some serious issues and concerns on it. And after we introduced it yesterday, I think a lot of people actually separately on the floor, were like, are you serious about this? And I said, well, I introduced it, aren't I? So there is conversation. And I think before previously where people thought it would be, you know, career suicide to even touch the sacred cow of the Patriot. Act. I think now people are actually inclined to take it on. And so I think it's a small window of time and opportunity, but we're not here to, um, do the small things.

To placate to, yeah, to placate to any special interest and definitely not the intelligence communities. And I hope that people listen to their constituents. So phone your rep, tell them to sponsor it. So you're seeing, um, Congress now with the big beautiful bill. Uh, and I'm hearing that they just don't even want to cut what Doge is saying to cut. I mean, are, are we going to see real cuts at all? coming from Congress and are we going to see the Raines Act coming from Congress? Is there anything that is real that is going to come out of Congress? It will if the members pressure the leadership and some of these appropriators to do the right

thing. So you're probably going to see a messy fight spill out into the public apparatus here pretty soon. But what I can tell you is there are enough of us currently and a slim majority to where if they don't do what President Trump is asking and what Doge is doing, then we will make sure that we hold their feet to the fire. But again, this is kind of an opportunity of a lifetime here. I don't think this is going to come around anytime soon. No, it's not. And if you guys blow it, it really will be the problem of Congress.

It will be the fault of Congress. You have one chance to correct this. And if, I mean, if you correct it, you'll have the American people go out in droves and say, oh, I actually believe in you guys. You're going to actually do something. and if not, I just think there's going to be a big loss. Well, if it's any consolation, Glenn, and for the listeners, I was at the White House yesterday for something unrelated,

and I definitely saw Soon and Jason Smith and the speaker all leaving. And what I can tell you is many people might not be aware about the involvement to the extent of the involvement in which the president has been. And what I will tell you is I've been with President Trump since 2016. on and off the campaign trail. And, you know, seeing how he operates, not just as the president, but also behind the scenes. And he really is the best person to help negotiate this. So what I will say is there are many people.

You are right that are in Congress that are saying, you know, we can't cut this. We can't cut that. What I would say is we have a pretty easy win here. You remember all of those subsidies and programs that went out in the Inflation Reduction Act that were literally give away. It's taxpayer-funded trash. That needs to completely be pulled back. but there are people that are weak at the knees with this.

But remember, most bureaucrat and long-term elected officials just want to get reelected. So if they know that they are facing not being reelected by their Republican base for not doing their jobs and they're in a Republican seat, they'll vote in favor of what we put on the floor. And so what I'm hoping for is President Trump's negotiating powers to come through. But as you're seeing, he's pretty much not faced any law. in the house in regards to what he wants the speaker to do. And I don't think that some of these more moderate members that are saying, you know, they're not going to cut this.

They're not going to cut that. They love this job more than sometimes I think they love their own families. And so I think they'll be willing to do whatever it takes for them to get reelected. You know, I saw Cash Patel came out yesterday, and he said, we can't cut the FBI, the way the White House wants us to cut the FBI. And I was a little shocked by that because it was Cash Patel who used to say, know, if they, we're not building them a new building. They want a new building.

They can just go, you know, work out of their cars if they have to. We're not doing a new building. And now that he's a director, he's now saying, we can't cut. And there's an awful lot, I think, we can, we can cut. I mean, they're not doing the job in the first place, I don't think. They're so miscalculating and misguided on everything they're doing. Yeah. I mean, the only way to get rid of these things is to cut the spending,

to cut the people out that need to go. I'd rather, you know, I'd rather be with a group of, you know, 80 people that really get it than 150 people that I don't know, I don't know which of the 150 people are really on our side and is anybody sabotaging us. Well, what I will tell you is, I agree with you, right? The FBI, especially from some of the stuff that we've seen now flush out, and we just heard recently that the FBI was complicit covering up the congressional baseball shooting that literally resulted in police getting shot. There is a lot that the FBI needs to be reformed on, and yes, that does have to do with funding. I would also argue that if their concern is spending here in Washington, well, guess what, the FBI should probably be decentralized and work in parts of the country where they can focus on doing their job.

And so I would disagree with Director Patel and Cash is one of my friends on that. And that, yes, we need to look at across the board savings for the American people. But what I will also tell you is there's this idea that the Democrats are really hoping that, you know, low information. Voters will not understand them that they're saying, you know, we're going after people's Social Security because we're getting rid of fraud, with an abuse. And that's simply not the case. So what's going to happen in the midterms? And look, I think that we will win the midterms if Congress, specifically the Republicans, specifically the Republicans, Republican majority can stick together and codify those ending taxes on TIP Social Security and then

also deliver wins on getting back a lot of the fraud, waste, and abuse and spending, right? And I think that we will, I'm cautiously optimistic because I've seen what's happening behind the scenes. But what I will tell you is, again, going back to some of these members that are just paranoid about re-election, that is part of what I would say the biggest problem here is in D.C., so instead of them doing the right thing, right, being fiscally conservative, or at least just common sense approach to how they spend money. They're doing quite the opposite, and they are looking to, you know, again, further their own careers here in Washington.

So what I would say is, again, small majority, the time that we can actually deliver these wins, but also we can't do this if the American people don't actively get involved and making their voices heard to their representatives in Congress. And because of my social media, Glenn, I hear commentary from across the country. And what I realize is a lot of people don't even know how to find their representatives. So you can actually find your member of Congress by going to house.gov and you can type in your zip code and find out who represents you. And you can actually request meetings when their office show up. But make sure that they're working on behalf of you and not special interest here in Washington.

Yeah, I have some things coming up in the near future that are going to be a little helpful for people to contact. Good. Anna, thank you so much. God bless you. Thank you. God bless you, people talk to you. You bet. Representative Anna and Paulina Luna from Florida and the paper.

Patriot Act. All right. Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. Last time you bought a coffee maker, you probably watch comparison videos, right? You read reviews, you filtered by price brand, whether or not had it a built-in frother. All for a machine that was like $89 makes hot bean water. Now, how much time have you spent picking your last real estate agent? If you're like most people, you went with a friend of a friend, or whoever's face you saw on a local, TV ad or a billboard somewhere or a park bench. You know, only the best people are advertising in the back of park benches. Maybe you got lucky.

Maybe you didn't. When you're talking about buying or selling a home, which is probably the biggest financial decision of your life, maybe isn't good enough. Real estate agents I trust is a free service that connects you with those who are experienced, vetted agents who actually know what they're doing, who share your values. These are the pros that have been through the ups and the. the downs and the, oh no, what is the Fed doing now years? And who know, you know, how to fight for you to get the best deal in this market. These are the pros. And you can find them at real estate agents

You know, the left's got a roadmap. Straight off a close. lift. Let's take the right trail. Glenn Beck returned shortly. There's a crime you probably never have heard of, but it could already be happening to you. It's called home title theft, and it doesn't involve breaking windows or kicking indoors. It happens entirely online. Scammers can just find your home's title through public records.

They forge your signature on a transfer document, and then suddenly they own your home, at least on paper. From there, they can take out loans against your private. property and drain your equity and make your life basically a living hell. You might not even find out until you start getting foreclosure notices on a house that you thought was paid off. This is why Home Title Lock exists, why they created it in the first place. They monitor your title basically 24-7. And if anything suspicious shows up, a transfer, a lien, a loan, or whatever it is, they alert you immediately and put their U.S.-based restoration team on it really fast.

because once a criminal gets your title, good luck getting it back on your own. Banks don't even cover it. Insurance doesn't cover it. They don't deal with this. Home Title Lock does, though. They can stop it before it starts. If you own a home, this is one of the easiest, smartest ways to protect what is likely your biggest asset before someone else tries to make it theirs. AI is changing the world, as we know.

Don't let it change the name on your home's title. Go to home titlelock.com right now and use the promo code blaze. Hometitleck.com. The promo code is Blaze. This is not just about your home. It's about your financial futures. It's about your financial legacy. Protect it.

And profite. Via Rai. The voice that we love that am. Both ways. The final details are being written up in the coming weeks of President live from the Oval Office. But the actual deal is a very conclusive one. We think just about everything's been approved.

A deal on... It's not done yet, but we'll also receive... announcing a deal with the UK today. ...theirical, machinery, and many other industrial products that weren't allowed, and they'll end up getting products that they'll be able to price. And if they like them better, and we make great products, they'll be buying those products, but they were not available in the UK. Furthermore, in a historic step, the deal includes plans that will bring the United Kingdom

into the economic security alignment with the United States. That's the first of its kind. So we have a big economic security blanket, and that's very important, and we feel very, very comfortable with that because it's been a great ally, truly one of our great allies. I mean, a lot of people say our greatest ally. I don't want to insult people by saying that, but I can say it's certainly one of our greatest right at the top, and they're the first one we're talking about. And by the way, we have many meetings planned today and tomorrow, and every country wants to be making deals. And we have a meeting,

as you know, Scott, we'll be going over to Switzerland. What the president has said so far that we know is, first, the rare earth minerals deal, which was signed by Zelensky, now been ratified by their political bodies. And so we now have an official rare earth mineral. deal with Ukraine. Also, he says, major breakthrough in the UK on VE Day with Starmor. He says this is the first in a series

of reciprocity. There will be reciprocity for our farmers, ag, oil, and machinery, something else, maybe automobiles. I think he mentioned as well. Anything else I'm missing that you're seeing?

It also just doesn't seem like it's really sorted out yet. It seems like it's an announcement of a framework, right? He said the details are going to be worked out. So we don't really know exactly where this lands. It does seem to be that we are keeping the tariffs on them. So that I don't know, it's a 10% that 10% blanket tariff that has been put on seems to still be part of this, at least this initial reporting, but we'll see. They're going to sort it out over the next few weeks. All right. So quite possibly some very good news, as he said that there's more companies or more countries that are coming to negotiate in the next couple of weeks. He said there will be many more of these style announcements.

This is Glenn Beck. Let me tell you about Oracle Cloud. You know that feeling when you scan your credit card statement and you realize you're paying for six streaming services, three fitness apps, a monthly boxes, snacks for your dog that you don't even know. Cloud costs can creep up exactly the same way. And it starts small, good rate, few services. And before you know it, you're drowning an ad on. hidden charges, surprise overages. What used to be a smart business move is now bleeding your budget. Oracle Cloud infrastructure, OCI.

It's flipping that script. It's built for performance, priced for reality. And right now, Oracle has a promotion that could cut your cloud bill in half. But the catch is you have to act before May 31st. So whether you're building the next AI breakthrough or just having to handle your data without drowning in fees, OCI delivers what you need. The savings are real. On average, OCI costs 50% less on compute, 70% less for storage, 80% less for networking. You can join Skydance and all of the other innovative AI tech companies who upgrade to OCI and saved.

See if you qualify for half off oracle.com slash Beck. Oracle.com slash Beck. Just listening to Howard Lucknick here just a second ago, he's with the president in the Oval, and they're talking about a new trade deal with the UK. And as Trump was talking about it, it didn't sound all that great. Because I didn't understand. He's saying, you know, we've been trying to do this for 25 years. Well, what exactly did you do?

And then Lutnik stood up. And he said, let me explain what we've just done. And it's pretty amazing. And we'll get to that here in just a second. Also, Nicole Shanahan is with us. She is the former RFK Jr. running mate and a host of the podcast, Back to the People. She said something yesterday that I don't, I'm not sure where she stands on the new appointment for HHS and also for the new surgeon general. I don't know if I've misreading what she's saying, but she'll give us all the details.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? According to Maha, Nicole Shanahan joins me in 60 seconds. Stand by first. Someone's coming towards you very fast, very aggressively. You don't know what they want, but you know it's not good. Now here's a question. If you want to kill them, probably not, but you don't want to stop them, right? In that split second, you're stuck between two options that are both terrible.

Do nothing or do something lethal. That's why there's a burner launcher. Burn a launcher is a non-lethal self-defense device that fires powerful pepper and chemical irritant rounds. It looks and feels like a handgun, but it's designed to incapacitate and not kill. And I mean incapacitate. Up to 65 feet away, you can hit them with tear gas, and it will incapacitate them, honestly, for about 45 minutes. That's enough time for police to get there. Burna just introduced their new compact launcher.

I can't recommend it highly enough. It is great. It is great for concealed carry. By the way, you don't have to have a license for it. There's no hoopsie. You just have to be over 18. Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn. Burna.com slash Glenn.

Nicole Shanahan. Nicole, how are you? Very good, Glenn. How are you doing? I'm very good. It is great to have you here. So I want to ask you, the surgeon general thing,

are you for Casey Means or not for Casey Means? Well, I'll tell you who I am for, Glenn. Okay. I'm for all of those Americans, the hundreds of thousands of doctors seeking truth, honesty, and dignity in our medical system, once again.

That is what I'm for. That is what propelled Maha into existence. That is what propelled Bobby Kennedy into the position of running for president of the United States. That's why I joined the campaign. It really is about listening to this group of doctors that did the right thing during the COVID pandemic, that spoke up when it was dangerous to speak up, that lost their licenses. And so when I hear from that base about individuals in and around Maha, I have to listen to them. them. And I do listen to them because oftentimes they are right. They're brave and their

principled. So the concern I've been hearing from that group of people is that Maha had, any movement, MAGA had this issue too of infiltration by different groups that are more self-serving than they are for the movement itself. And so just one example. Casey means is a founder of a company that does biometric harvesting. She's very close with many of the big data biometric harvesting companies in Silicon Valley. And this, I know several of these people. You do not want them running in a government position that is responsible for everybody equally, right? So wait, wait, what is bio?

What is that? they're harvesting what? Well, so biometric data is anything between heart rate data to all of the data that is collected from your fifth bit or high glucose monitor. It could be labs. It could be, yeah, yeah. And then there's all the DNA harvesting and big data that's being done. So, you know, I think that the base, Maha really came from medical freedom and medical sovereignty

and the idea that we have to keep conflicts of interest out of the government. And so when I, you know, see some stuff going on that we could be doing better, right? Our job, and I learned this from the MAGA base, our job is to continue to seek the best possible people for government that are truly putting the principles of this country first, the principles of American sovereignty first. So you wrote yesterday, it's very strange, it doesn't make any sense. I was promised that if I supported RFK Jr. in the Senate confirmation that neither of these siblings would be working under HHS or an appointment

and that people much more qualify would be. I don't know if JFK very clearly lied to me or what's going on. it has been clear in recent conversations that he is reporting to someone regularly who is controlling his decisions and it isn't President Trump. With regards to the siblings, there is something very artificial and aggressive about them, almost as if they were bred and raised as Manchurian assets. Wow. So to keep in mind, that was not, I was responding to Dr. Suzanne Humphreys, who was also expressing their. similar sentiments. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Concern. There's better candidates. So what's going on? I also heard from other MDs in the field that there was another doctor that RFK had wanted for the position, very, very qualified doctor. And, you know, she was caught by surprise as well by this other choice. So, you know, there's, again, they don't call it the swamp for no reason. right and and I'm you know I'm not officially within the administration at all in fact I've decided to take the path of staying an independent media person which I think I think and you know this Glenn it's really important that when you are an independent media voice that you stick by your principles and that you're not just a mouthpiece for any government organization but you're really on the outside we're

reflecting back the hopes and wishes of the constituents. Yeah, there is, it's, and it's very hard to do. I mean, I, I take stances against the president and for the president. You always have to, you always have to balance, you know, I have my opinion and I'm never going to be bought out by anybody. I'm never, but, but you also want to make sure that you're being fair to the people that you trust, and I know you have trusted RFK for a very, very long time. and for what struck me on this is, you know,

I don't know if RFK lied to me, which I don't, I hope he didn't, or what's going on. It's been clear in recent conversation that he's reporting to someone regularly who is controlling his decisions. That's a remarkable thing to say, especially about RFK,

because he does not strike me as somebody who is afraid of somebody else. You know, I don't know if it's fear or what he's called political 4D chess, And, you know, again, they don't call it the swamp for no reason. It's just at some point there's certain decisions that I think are worth fighting for when you are in a very, and I do appreciate what a very complex political environment this is. And I do understand that even within these agencies, there are groups that are intentionally keeping and withholding information from the new leader.

So, you know, I fully appreciate how complicated it all is. But there are definitely things that the basis is, you know, is like this is an easy one. This could have gone better, right? We don't truly, you know, and everyone's guessing what precisely this 4D chest is all about and why these users are being made and trying to anticipate the next one. but it's something that I think, you know, there's just certain things that indicate that whoever is chess coaches could be making some better decisions for him. So, but Casey, I mean, when I talk to the twins during, you know, or after COVID,

they seemed pretty clear on what was bad and what was good. They both seem to be good on COVID and the vaccines, didn't they? Where's my memory? We talk a great talk. Let me tell you. I will say I was once a fan of the means as well. It was only after I received many comments from individuals and around the transition team, as well as new research that came up.

And then really, like, you know, when the base. expresses these things and provides that degree of inquiry and shows that kind of concern, I think we owe it to them to listen. Yes, I agree. I agree. Yeah. So overall, how do you feel things are going? You know, again, there has been a lot of focus around food dives.

Meanwhile, there's millions of people suffering from vaccine injury that still feel very neglected. So I do think, I do appreciate the recent executive order regarding gain of function and limiting overseas research. And shutting down a dangerous. And shutting down a very dangerous bio lab here. Yes. And there are many of these biolabs that are kind of flying under the radar. It is a big step in the right decision. I'm a huge Jay Batatariah fan, probably one of his biggest. I really am excited for him as he built out his team. I hope that he has a very, very strong team around him in the next coming weeks because he's going to need it. As far as HHS goes, you know, I'd love to see Bobby bring in more of those doctors that have been around

him for the last 10 years very regularly because these are the individuals that, you know, I trust these people with my life. They have sacrificed everything to do the right thing time and time again. They are so deeply principled. They will never take a check over helping a patient out. And they actually do have the answer. So I'm hoping to see more of those people around Bobby soon. So I'm wondering, because this way I feel about a couple of things with the FBI and Intel,

that if I don't see some people in the next year or so, go to jail or at least brought in for a fair and honest trial. I don't want to just scoop people up and just assume that they're guilty. But build a good, strong case, bring it to trial, have it a fair and honest trial, and let the chips fall where they may. But if I don't see some prosecutions at least, I think I'm very upset at the DOJ,

and Pambandi, and the head of the FBI, Cash Patel, and I don't, and I'm trusting them so far that they are doing that. Do you feel the same way at all about, you know, if you don't see some people go to jail

that clearly lied about the vaccines, if they don't go to jail, you haven't, you really haven't fixed anything. You're just eating around the edges. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think that really,

explains it. And this is why I think it's important to continue to voice those concerns because they're only going to grow and mount. And it really is the American people that were sold this vision of accountability. And we want to see it. We have to see it. I mean, we're several months into the administration now. HHS, you know, lags behind the Oval Office in terms of getting going. but people were seriously injured. There were many crimes committed against the American public, crimes committed against our bravest doctors, children. The preciousness in this moment, we have to deliver.

This country deserves that. And, I mean, if we're, if we can't correct the things, you know, for instance, Washington State just passed a law. where if there is another pandemic, everybody seems to be, you know, claiming there's another one right around the corner. But if there is another pandemic, that they will have absolute control

over what you put into your body and what you do. That's terrifying. They do. And those emergency orders, no one's scrutinized them. There haven't been revisions. No, Washington State just revised it to codify it. Washington State just codified it.

crazy. Yeah, yeah. So I'd like to see more focus around that's not red dye 40 and not Kellogg's. I'm totally fine leaving Kellogg's load in favor of HHS spending all of its energy and all of its focus and all of its leverage, making sure that we are actually properly ready for the next pandemic and not to cause the catastrophic harm that was caused during COVID-19. Nicole Shanahan, she's got the podcast back to the people, and it's now coming to Blaze Media. It's the same podcast that she's been doing, just now, as she says, with a wider reach, glad to have you. Nicole, thank you very much.

Thanks, Glenn. It was a pleasure to come on. We'll talk to you again. All right, let me tell you about relief factor. Let's talk about the human body, specifically your body. It's been through a lot, maybe decades of hard work injuries, heavy lifting, or just a whole lot of, I'll stretch later. We're stretched. Now that's when the pain started, right?

You did what we all do. You start tinkering. You try the icy gel, then the heating pad, then the brace, then pretty soon your body turned into a bad science experiment. It takes a smarter approach now, really, and that smarter approach, I think, is a relief factor. It's natural. It is drug-free. It's a supplement designed to reduce pain. at the source and the source is inflammation. It combines four powerful ingredients that work with

your body, not against it. Millions have tried it. For many, it's been the first real relief they've had in years. So why not try something that actually makes sense and works with your body? If you're living with the aches and pain, see how relief factor a daily drug-free supplement might help you feel and live a better life every single day. Give their three-week quick start. A try. It's only 1995. In a few weeks, even a few weeks, even a few, days, you're going to feel the difference. Relief Factor. It makes a difference. You don't have to be stuck living with a pain. Visit Relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief. 1-800, the number four relief. 10 seconds. Station ID. I tell you, I was at a, I was at a fundraiser a few weeks ago.

And I'm meeting the people who were there. And this guy comes up to me. His name is Dr. Larry Miller. and he comes up to me and he introduces himself and he's an older guy and he says I almost didn't come today but I was hoping I would get a chance to shake your hand and I said well here we are and he said I have to tell you something you almost didn't make it because on Tuesday my son set himself on fire in front of the VA hospital that's not something I expected to hear he's joining us in a minute because I wanted you to hear him because he says, and he's right, the VA is just not doing enough for our men and women. The VA sucks.

We all know that, I mean, look at Canada. You want that? You want that kind of health care? Do you want Obamacare? Because look how great it is. I'm supposed to solve all of our problems. Look how great it is. The solution will be given more of it.

Well, the more you give, the more you'll become like the VA. and we are abandoning our veterans, and they are killing themselves at an unbelievable rate. So we're going to talk to him in just a minute. Also, I was in the break. I was listening to Howard Lutnik about the White House announcement that they just made. And here's what this deal was. You know, he just made a deal for the UK, a trade, a tariff thing.

And they've been trying to make this kind of a deal for 25 years, but they haven't been able to do it because Great Britain has so many protectionist things on it for their farmers and everything else. And so it was Trump that came in according to Lutnik and said, wait a minute, wait a minute. Let's rethink this. Let's just work on the things you buy from other countries and give us full access to those things. Buy them from us before you buy them from somebody else. And so that's what this deal is. We still have the 10% tariff on them, which they say, be bringing $6 billion a year. We have opened up their markets mainly for our ag and also,

I think, for steel and aluminum, et cetera, et cetera. But we've opened up their market on things that they were already doing. That way, Starmer wins because he's going to get better and probably cheaper goods from America. We're streamlining our customs. So nothing's going to sit at a port. And so it'll be good for his people, while not hard. hurting the industries because they're a protectionist state. So that's what happened today. And that just shows you, to me, that's a good negotiator. That's somebody who's like, okay, I know we literally, they've been trying to do this for 25 years.

And they've overcomplicated it. And Lutnik said, and until Donald Trump came in and said, why don't we just go for the things they're buying from other people? Oh, okay. and Starmor said, oh, we could do that. So that's the trade deal that you have coming from England. Dr. Larry Miller is with us in just a minute. This is Glenn Beck.

Head over to glenbeck.com and get access to the free email newsletter, everything we talk about every day. It's glenbeck.com. Welcome to the Glennbeck program. I want to introduce you to Dr. Larry Miller. And I have to tell you, it was the weirdest thing. I did two events back to back. And I had two people come up to me. One, their son set themselves on fire.

The other told me a story about. a son that shot himself. They were both staggering, and they happened 24 hours apart from each other. And it was remarkable. Larry, Dr. Larry Miller, he's an emergency medicine physician, and it's his son that, if I may, let me just read from his Facebook, because this is amazing. His son is, you know, just left a VA appointment.

They're so nice. They prescribed me. I don't even know if this is Seraquil. Wow, how nice. They didn't even listen to my story, just like a robot that hands out poison to every soldier. Anyway, Larry wrote on his Facebook on April 8th, Today I heard the words no father can imagine.

Your son, Mark, is dead. Yesterday, Mark text me at 12.34 p.m. of the words, Papa, I love you very much, and I always will. I texted him back. I love you too with all my heart. I don't know if he read my reply or not, because minutes later, the taxi dropped him off at the VA hospital in San Antonio. Walking up to the door, he shot himself in the head. I only learned about his death this morning. My heart is broken. My soul is crushed. There are no words. Yet something has to be said. So, Dr. Larry Miller is on with us now. Larry, how are you?

Hello, Glenn. Thank you so much for having me. It's been tough, but, you know, God is good, and we're moving on with Mark's mission. And so this is what's keeping me going right now. So tell me who Mark was before all of this was happening. I think every father is proud of their son. I was especially proud of Mark.

He was a loving, kind young man. everybody that met him said he was an unusually amazing guy. He loved God. He loved Jesus. He helped everybody he could. He enlisted in the Navy as a very young man, and he became a sniper in the Navy for many years. He was a sniper because he was a good shot. But, you know, being a sniper, he had to do things that went against his personality,

against his moral beliefs, against his ethics. But he did it because he wanted to fight for his country. Help us. Yeah, help the country, absolutely. So he did it. And then as soon as he got out of the war zone, he said the war did not get out of him. He began to think of all these things. He became very depressed.

And so he went to see the military psych doctors back in 2007. And they placed him on Prozac, which is an SS. SRI drug. And as soon as he started taking that Prozac, he became absolutely empowered and convicted to commit suicide. And so he went back to them, gave him more and more. And the more they gave him, the more he began to drink. And he planned his suicide attempt at that time. Jeez.

It was a miracle that we actually caught him back there in 2007. but we did, and we got him off from his Prozac, and we got him into treatment, and he improved quite a bit over the next few years. And he's a painter, so he painted some beautiful paintings that all expressed different Bible verses and scripture and so on, and were very inspiring to people. And recently, his mom died. He had a big fire around his house. He had an increasing back pain.

And he went back to the VA for some help. And they gave him Tramadol, which is an opioid for the pain. Got him hooked on that. And then he felt he should go in for admission. Now, he never told me about that. He kept this from his family, but he went into the VA for pain management. And then on the first of April, just a little over a month ago, he went in to the the VA and wanted to be admitted, telling them that he was suicidal, he's in horrible pain,

and they just didn't even listen to him. And so he reported in a text to me that they didn't even listen to me, Dad. They just passed out poison. They're murdering our heroes, our men and women in service are murdering them. What is, what is Seraquil? What is Seraquil? What is Seraquil? Syracul. Syracool is a psychotropic drug that's for major mental health problems such as schizophrenia and bipolar. And my son had neither one of those. He was just depressed. But they placed him on that. And he said it was after five minutes. He texted me and said, you know, in five minutes, they gave me the Syracurquil and sent me home. Didn't even listen to my story. And that's when he decided, I'm sure that he was. was going to have to take his life and make a very powerful statement because, you know, back up a little bit in the past four years, we wrote a book together called Suicide Stocks the Sniper. And that was Mark's way of getting out to the public, what he had gone through, how he had found relief, and the things that had happened to him. And so we went around

South Texas a meeting with different veteran groups helping the veterans. And many of them heard his story and they got off their psychotropic drugs and they were doing so much better and just putting this together. So this was something that he had had it as a mission. And so when he wasn't heard by the VA, I think he just felt desperate and felt this is the only way he could protest. So, Larry, you know, we've, World War I think is the first time, at least that I'm aware of it. I'm sure this has happened in every major war. But World War I was such an awful war and the bloodshed was just overwhelming that guys came home from World War I and they just weren't the same. And then it got worse with World War II. But those guys just never talked about it.

Then Korea and then the Vietnam War was so bad. And we abandoned our veterans and they didn't come back as heroes. And this just this problem seems to be getting worse and worse and worse. What's the answer? Right. In World War I, they called it shell shock. Now they call it PDST. And, you know, it's something that the military trains them to be good soldiers. In my son's case, he trained him to be an assassin, all right? But when he got out of the military, they came a five-minute questionnaire to reorient him to civilian life. Now, how is that going to help them at all?

The military just throws these veterans away, doesn't take those. care of them. They use them and they should take months or years to retrain them to be good citizens and how to operate in normal society again. And they don't do that. And then they have to go to the VA and the problem with the VA is that the psychiatrist universally has succumbed to the big farmers propaganda to give out pills instead of psychotherapy. And years ago, the psychiatrist used to do a good job of talking to the patient, talking to the soldier with PTSD and so on and finding out what it was, and then helping them to design a plan, to get a purpose in life, and to help them with the future. Now they just spend five minutes and pass out pills like candy, and these psychotropic drugs have

been proven over and over again with meta-analysis that they do not work. They're no better than placebo's. But they also have been proven that they increase suicide by at least two and a half to three percent. So my question is why do psychiatrists give out SSRIs to suicidal veterans that increase their chance of suicide? It's just something that's hard for me to understand. You wrote a message to the military. You said halfway through, yes, you should be humiliated, not for what you may. made him do, but for not respecting him or valuing him as a human being, for not attempting

him to put him back together the way you found him kind, loving, trusting with a plan and purpose for his life. You need to train him, no matter how long it takes, not to jump when he hears a car backfire or panic when he finds the door in his home unlocked, teach him that we're not the enemy and that he is safe to go to sleep. That's right. That's absolutely right. And it's not only Mark. After I posted that on Facebook when I lost my son the day, I posted it. I've got over 25,000 shares. And I got thousands of replies to me. I haven't even gotten through them all yet, but there's hundreds and hundreds.

It's exactly the same story. My son was depressed. He went to the VA. They gave these psychotropic drugs and he committed suicide. My father, my husband, my brother, the story is over and over again. It's a repeat of what Mark did. And it's so widely spread. It's been swept under the rug.

We need to wake up to this fact of how egregiously horrible our veterans are being treated for mental health. And it's not just that the VA is, you know, just a horrible system. You also are saying SSRIs are horrible. poison? Yes, they are. They're no better than the misceivos on the good side, on the bad side, they increase suicide. So why would they use them? Well, they've been brainwashed and that's easy to do. Big Pharma has a number of ways that they can create studies that look good. But the meta-analysis done by independent

researchers have shown that SSRIs are not beneficial to most people, but they do have a very high risk of many side effects, including science, including suicide. So this is something we have to change, and it's all funded by the big farmer who spends billions of dollars in a number of ways. And the influence legislation, the influence the FDA, because they pay for 74% of the FDA's budget. That seems to me a conflict of interest.

Kind of. They sponsor most of advertising on TV. Why should pharmaceutical companies, I overreferral companies, I don't know, drugs on TV. Most countries are not allowed to do that. And they pay directly to psychiatrists to use their drugs. There are eight psychiatrists last year that received over a million dollars to promote their SSRIs. That should be a conflict of interest. That should be outlined by Congress, in my opinion. Larry, thank you for talking to me. I really appreciate it. Thank you for sharing your son, Mark, with me as well. Thank you so much. I hope to

message gets around to the people that can make a big difference from my son. And I appreciate your kindness. Thank you. You're a good man. Thank you so much for what you do.

This time we're talking about the abortion pill, more poison. The new research from the foundation of the restoration of a America is laying bare a truth that the media refuses to acknowledge the abortion pill is far more dangerous than advertised. In 2023 alone, 11% of the women who took it experienced serious complications. That's not speculation. That's from a study of more than 150,000 women. 11% serious complications. But we get silence from the media, in that weird.

What you're hearing are your thoughts via the mind and mouth of Glenn Beck. On this day in 1945, if you turned on your radio, you heard this. 12 o'clock Vinyon news, the service of Vinyon optometrist. While much of the Allied world is

already celebrating VE Day, the official announcement that the war in Europe has ended will not be made until tomorrow. The British Ministry of Information announced less than an hour and a half ago that tomorrow will be VE Day. Just an hour ago, President Truman announced in Washington that he has agreed with London and Moscow to make no announcement on the final surrender of Germany until a simultaneous announcement can be made by the three allied government. The British Ministry of information said that Prime Minister Winston Churchill would broadcast at 3 p.m. British time. That's 6 a.m. Pacific wartime. King George will speak to the British people at 9 p.m. British time, which is 12 noon Pacific wartime. Earlier CBS correspondent Edward Murrow in London said that

President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill were ready to announce the official news of the German surrender at 9 a.m. today. But he said that they were delayed because Premier Stalin scheduled to speak at the same time was not ready. We started today's podcast with that story on why that happened. Somebody lost their job, their career, their credibility over that story. He said people are already celebrating, but it's not happening yet. If you missed any of today's show, make sure you get the podcast, wherever you get your podcast, and listen to it.
