The Glenn Beck Program - Would-Be Trump Assassin FINALLY Charged. Why the Holdup? | Guest: Ryan Mauro | 4/11/25

Episode Date: April 11, 2025

The DOGE uncovers even more unemployment fraud, with millions in benefits paid to people with birth dates in the future. After months of alleged federal obstruction, Florida charges President Trump’s would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, with attempted murder. Pat Gray joins Glenn and Stu to share his Easter box of Keksi cookies. Glenn asks: Do liberals really hate Trump so much that they’ll embrace Democratic politicians who STILL lie about China’s role in the COVID pandemic? Glenn explains how Trump is fighting on our behalf against globalism, endless wars, the WEF, the WHO, and the elites’ "Great Reset.” Capital Research Center's Ryan Mauro joins Glenn to unmask how pro-Hamas groups are now calling for the overthrow of “occupied” America. Glenn reviews how Jay Leno took on California’s new ridiculous proposed regulations for classic cars. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hello, America. Sure. I know you've been thinking, this has been a tough week. No, no, no. Actually, it's been a very good week. I'll explain why here in just a second. And remind you first,

it's Friday. Now, let me tell you about Lear Capital. Have you ever had those moments where you think back and wonder, see, what would I have done differently if I would have known what I know now 10 years ago be some huge thing, maybe a bunch of small decisions that would have moved your life in a different direction. Sometimes I think the opportunity that I had, Stu and I both had, to buy Bitcoin when it was like 10 cents and didn't pull the

trigger on it. Yeah, that's probably, you know, that's probably something. I probably own the moon by now if I would have done the right thing. But sometimes I look back and go, wish I would, have. Now you have the opportunity to think back and go, I'm glad I did. Right now, if you look, stock futures volatile after sell-off, China is raising tariffs. This is just, I'm reading the screens on TV right now. Goods, tariff on goods from China at 125% starting April 12th. So it's not getting better with China. And the dollar is also falling.

Glenn. Yeah. You said something about this being a good week. Walk me through that. All right. You ready? Mm-hmm. Okay. the war on water pressure is over this week. It's over. I love that. Yeah, see? I love that. Yeah. I'm a huge fan. Now, of course, my war was won with a terrorist attack by my handyman many years ago. Did that happen to you, too? It did. It happened right around the time I lost my guns in the lake.

Oh, you're kidding. No. Yes. And I thought it was so weird because they were both about water. It's weird. I also won the water heater battle at that same time. Wait a minute. I don't know about the water heater battle. Water heaters are limited to get certain amounts of hot. But if you have a terrorist attack on your water heater, sometimes those limits come off, it's terrible. Yeah, it is awful. It's awful. Those are Oklahomaan terrorists.

Oh, is it? They come in and like, I'm going to be a nice lady's water heater. So we had that going on. That's really, really good. And then Donald Trump has succeeded again, making the world a much, much better place. by getting released the unjustly imprisoned hot ballerina from the U.S. She was imprisoned over in Russia for treason.

We're not sure. We are, well, we're pretty sure. She's the hottest American ever negotiated for a prisoner swap. There she is. Is that true? Yeah, there she is. See her right there? That's, yep.

She's pretty hot. She's pretty hot. It doesn't seem like we've in the past really targeted attractiveness level as to who we're negotiating for. He didn't have Donald Trump as president. That's true. He's like, all right, who's hot, who's in trouble? Who can we repatriate? So we got that going.

Oh, and here's some more good news. Doge says that they are saving now next year, what is it, $150 billion. dollars in 2026. Now that's not my favorite, but it's still $150 billion. And, you know, every penny counts at this, every billion counts at this point, you know. Remember what $150 billion dollars used to be real money? Yeah. I mean, I remember one of the first big bills when you were on, I want to say it was in the Fox era. No, actually, yeah, it was Fox era. Was it was the Obama stimulus. It was $787 billion. Yeah.

So now we're at like, that was like the biggest thing in the world. It was every conversation for six months. People who lived at that time and were aware of things at that time, they can tell you the price of that, $787 billion, because it was such a stunning amount of money. Yes. And it was specifically designed to remain under $1 trillion because they thought that was unbearable for anyone to think about. Right. Now every other bill we pass is over a trillion dollars. Yeah.

And you're like, you know. 787 billion, not good enough. We don't even wake up to do this show if it's less than a trillion dollars that we're talking about. I mean, who's talking about it? Then you have something else that Doge has come out and said millions of our dollars in unemployment claims have gone to fake people who haven't even been born yet. Now, do we know that they're fake people or just people that haven't been? been born? Well, we don't know. Because, I mean, really technically, if you haven't been born, how do you know if you're fake or not?

You don't. Only time travelers know. That's true. Only time travelers. There's some of those, too. So there is. Labor Secretary, uh, uh, Lori Chavez de Riemer, uh, presented the findings to President Trump, Thursday afternoon's cabinet meeting, say that we're working with our inspector general to return these dollars to the treasury. That would be nice. Doge, Doge claimed an initial review found that since 2020, 2020, 9,700 people whose birth dates aren't for another 15 years have claimed $69 million in benefits. Again, like that, there could be, right, an explanation for that. Some accounting error, some actuarial error where the wrong date is in there and this person is actually supposed to get these benefits.

But like, how is that not caught immediately? How is that, how is it possible that that could go on and a person with that birth date could. continue to get paid. Well, I mean, it was, it was hard to catch this birth date. This, this one birthday claimed $41,000 of unemployment insurance. They were born in 2154. 24. 2154. So, that seems difficult. It does. You know, it does. I will say, no wonder they, no one would hire them. Exactly. Right. What are they going to do? Never shows up for work. Never shows up. Never shows up. They're never born yet. Right. 28,000 people between one and five years old. claim $254 million in benefits.

Again, they are unemployed, right? I mean, that two-year-old does not have a job, right? No. That's discrimination. No one will hire two-year-olds. That's right. Except in Hollywood. Oh, that's wrong.

You're right. True. Yeah, true. Yeah. 24.5,000 people over 115 years claimed $59 million in benefits. of it. So, and again, they don't have a job. I mean, have you ever seen anybody that's 115 years old, you know, as a Walmart greeter? No, no. They usually, they, they, they time out like like 104, 105. Yeah, right. Okay. So they're, they're saying now that about between 135 and

$400 billion has been stolen since COVID. Now, I just want you to remember, Just want you to remember that. $400 billion. You know all the cuts to USAID and everything else? Musk has come out and said, we've saved next year, $150 billion. They're saying up to $400 billion in just unemployment fraud since COVID. I don't know. I don't know.

By the way, the acting labor secretary under Joe Biden, she was, you know, she was from California. And it was, it was estimated when she was in California in charge of the unemployment system there. She paid $30 to $40 billion in fraudulent payments. But that was only $30 or $40 billion in one state. I mean, you know, of course she's not going to do that as the labor secretary. that just happened in California, not countrywide. Of course we promote her. Wow, doesn't that speak volumes of everything that's going on?

Let's see. Anderson Cooper. Why do you laugh? I just love this story. I love it. And I, again, I side with Anderson, I think, here. Did he ever comment on it? Has he addressed it?

No. Tell people what it is if they haven't seen us. Okay, so Anderson Cooper is sitting with Bernie Sanders. And he's like, we got somebody in the audience as a question. You know a question? Let me introduce Grace Thomas. She's a local civil rights attorney and she's a Democrat. Okay.

So she stands up and she's a Democrat. And she stands up and she looks at Anderson Cooper and she say, it's they, them pronouns actually. And the face. And I think it's because Bernie Sanders is a thousand years old and can't hear anything. Yeah. But he makes a face that is exactly how I feel when people say like, no, actually, say them pronouns. He's just like this perplexed.

He leans in. He's like, what? Like, it's so good. And it's not what he's reacting to at all. Yeah. But it's so, it's satisfied. So she says, yeah, I've got a question. Do we have it?

Here it is. Yeah, watch Bernie's face here. Is it running? I'm not hearing anything. Some audio issues. Okay, some audio issues. Are you getting it? No.

So anyway, so she goes on and she says, I mean, I'm a Democrat and I'm a they, them. And men of all racial demographics, the demographics are turning away from the Democratic Party. And I want to know what you're doing about it. Well, um. Trying not to listen to you would be the main thing you should do about it. Exactly right. Exactly right. She's standing up.

What Bernie Sanders should have said is, well, you. People like you. Yeah. Men are in every race color, creed age group, they are tired of being lectured to about their pronouns and everything else. And when you say they are tired of being a lecture to. I mean, that one person. Yeah. That's the thing with they, them pronouns.

Right. They and them indicate a group of people. So you can't have they them pronouns. You can't have them. I don't care what you say. Some of the bigotry that's just continuing here. There are some words that refer to multiple people, some words that refer to one. He or she would refer to one.

They and them refers to multiple people. So you can't have them. No. Okay. Well, if that's what's doing. It's not even a gender argument. I know. Right?

It is an English language argument. If you want to say you're a man when you're really a woman, that is wrong. the gender basis, but at least you're saying you're one person. Saying your multiple people is not okay. I know I'm going to take a tough stand there. Well, I want to give you one other story here that's kind of in the same vein here. The chair of the University of California, Berkeley for their academic Senate, Amani Nuru Jeter issued a dire warning about academic freedom.

She said, recent actions by the federal government and Donald. Donald Trump are chilling open inquiry and undermining self-governance at American universities. This has got to stop. Okay, so she's saying that because Donald Trump is saying, we're not going to, if you're going to let radicals on your campus that are anti-American and, you know, anti-Semitic, we're not going to give you any federal dollars. she's saying because of that it is chilling open inquiry. So what is open inquiry?

You mean honest questioning? Now, the problem here is, is that Nuru Jeter, she was the executive associate dean of Berkeley School of Public Health. And she's warning about the fate of higher education. she also was the one that put new requirements into the school, anti-racism requirements. The requirements included that at least 10% of course readings focus on or be authored by people from black, indigenous, and other people of color.

A third of all guest speakers be Bipak. Professors also needed to update their syllabi with anti-racism statements that she personally would help draft. So in other words, and she made you sign a contract. If you were a professor, she made you sign a contract that you were going to do that. Oh, good.

Yeah, right. Lock them in. Right. And that was, that was just, it wasn't really a contract. It was more of a pledge to disrupt harmful power dynamics. Thank you.

And you had to pledge that you would remove students from class if they use language that could alienate others. Oh my. and you're worried about what Donald Trump is doing. You're using language that alienates, I don't know, Jews by saying we should kill the Jews. It does alienate them. It does. It tends to.

Right. But so instead of living with your own little doctrine here, we don't want to alienate anybody, you're now saying, it's an end of freedom of speech. If you can't say death to all Jews, this is a threat to the free speech, the whole. democracy movement. Unbelievable. Now I don't have a word on what they, them commented about on this article. Anderson Cooper is still trying to get that interview. Let me tell you about relief factor. Let's talk about pain for a minute. Here you are, citizen of the United States of America, inheritor of the rights your creator endowed you with. And yet this stupid,

nameless thing comes along and wrecks any pursuit of happiness you might undertake. It's almost as bad as a government and that is saying a lot. And when I'm talking about what took away, it's pain day after day, year after year, you get to a point to where you're like, okay, this is this way it's going to be my life. And it's not.

It's not. I got my freedom back. I got my pain under control. A lot of times it's just completely gone. And I was very skeptical at first. You know, I didn't think it was going to work because, you know, some boob on the radio was talking about it, saying it was all natural and a supplement

right, dude. Like, I'm going to listen to that guy on the radio. Sometimes in life, you do marry a woman who really doesn't take no for an answer. And she threatens that if you don't agree to give her recommendation to try, you know, there'll be consequences. And thank goodness, she's always right. I got my life back. For 1995, you can try Relief Factors three-week quick start, less than a dollar a day.

They tend to do that. Yes, throughout. It's weird now that my kids, Cheyenne's practically gone. She's, you know, she's leaving, what, Sunday to film a movie, first movie she's been in. Pretty cool. Really cool. She's been rehearsing all week. She's

playing a I think it's a maybe a country star. I'm not sure. She's playing a singer. Really? Yeah. Oh, wow. It's a Christmas movie and it's Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's really neat. Do we know? Are we able to see this? Yeah, it'll be coming out, I think next Christmas. Wow. Do we know? In theaters. In theaters? Wow. I can't wait. This is great. I know. I know. Great news. So anyway. So she's practically gone.

And luckily, you're releasing her to an ecosystem and there's never any problems, you know. Her mom's going with her in the entertainment industry. What can possibly go wrong? And it's not in Hollywood, I'll tell you that. That's good. That's good. Man, I dodged a bullet with Broadway. She wanted to go on Broadway.

Dad, I want to live in New York. I want to live in New York. And I said, hey, honey, you don't ever watch the news, do you? And she's like, no. And I'm like, sad, bad, bad things. New York was vaporized. by the former Soviet Union and we are all weeping about it

so can't go there for another 4,000 years so she dodged a bullet on that one and then and then she got a call recently a movie and I'm like wait wait she was offered a movie wait what what what and thank goodness it was not a Hollywood movie and they're you know they're just good

you know good people good Christian people and so I'm excited about that that's great that's so but I would I actually was thinking about this relatively recently because my kids are getting into that age now where they're like, you know, they're getting the independence is, there's more of that. They no longer want to be a fireman or a police officer. No, actually, that's true. You get past that. I mean, my kids are 12 and 13.

So, but I was thinking about it. It's like, gosh, my son is now, what, two or three years away from driving? I know. I mean, he's almost 14. It goes by so fast. Thank God. I mean Wait, wow

What? No, just the teenage years. They seem to last forever. But they do end. They do end. They do end. But it leaves you at the point you're at now. Tanya and I are walking around the house going, what do we do?

What do we do now? We went for a walk the other day. And she was like, well, this is our life. And I'm like, wow. Wow. Did she say the, the, well, this is, because that's important. That's the way I heard it. She's like, well, let me ask you this.

Was it well or whelp? I think that's a huge distinction in this conversation. Was it, Welp? This is our life. As if that's it, you're in some serious trouble. I think it might have been with the pee. I think it might have been with the pee. That's what I suspect.

But, you know, your kids move out and then, you know, you just, you're kind of just like, okay, I got to start my life all over again now. What is the, I don't know what? I really been thinking about that. And I think I need to get ahead of this, right? I need to start planning what's going on. Marriages fall apart in the emptiness. If both people don't, haven't planned ahead, haven't gone,

okay, well, this is what I'm going to do. Yeah. You know, I'm going to, you know, this is my hobby or, you know, my next phase of life, whatever it is. If you don't do that and you've made, and yet really, in today's world, you kind of have to make your kids your entire life. But if you've lost yourself in that, it's not good. Yeah, I think you got to work hard to maintain, not just kids.

throughout the kid period. And then you need to plan for what comes after that because I think it would be easy to get stuck in, gosh, there's nothing to do. On a completely unrelated story, did you see the story out today, the 70-year-old woman accused of trading a foster child for a monkey? No, I missed.

I missed that. Was that the plan? That is a plan for an empty nest. You get a free monkey. What am I going to do? What am I going to do? Lord, how long must your people suffer? They're hungry, they're cold.

Often they feel as though they're alone in the world. world. In Israel, in the shadow of, in the shadow of war, they huddle in bomb shelters, clutching their children, praying that next time that rocket misses them yet again. Many of them are wondering where their next meal is going to come from, or even if there's going to be a next meal. You can hear the voice of Israel crying out to God, and they have seen miracle after miracle. And I don't want to get involved in their wars. I don't want to fight their wars. I just think they have a right to have their own place to where they can defend themselves, you know? you are a part of the answer to their prayer.

Yesterday, Pat, Donald Trump negotiated for the release of a ballerina who was called a traitor. to Russia and was going to be in prison forever and he got a released. And she says she's not a traitor. She didn't do anything. She would never betray. All she did was donate $51 to a Ukrainian charity to like feed people. And they called her a traitor for that.

Well, because they went through a phone and found it. Did it feed people? So that would be back. Ukrainians. Russia has a very long history of not feeding Ukrainian. That's true. It's been their lead policy for about 100. Every time they go to war, they're like, let's not feed the Ukrainians.

Or sometimes when they're part of their country, and it's peacetime. So, so, Pat, I just want to show you this picture of the ballerina. Yeah. Does she look like she could betray her country? No. No, not at all. No, there's no chance. She betrayed anybody else.

Nope, nope. She doesn't betray her diet plan. Nothing. No. Nothing. Speaking of betraying diet plans, I have a bone. to pick with you, Pat Gray. Yeah.

I had this box. Wait, can we, before you get to that, before you get to that, hang on. I want to talk to you about somebody else with some boobs, and that is this guy. Let me say. Right here, see him. Oh, wow.

That's what's his name? Ryan Routh. Oh, wow. Is he wearing a crop top? He's a very, I don't know, but he's, he's, he's got man boobs. Yeah, he does. Big man boobs.

They're nasty. Right. And so I don't know. Did you hear about what happened in Florida? They're now finally charging him with first degree attempted murder for trying to murder the president. Yes. And apparently, according to Florida, the attorney general for Florida, he said for 206 days, the federal government stonewalled us. and I'm finally able to announce that now that Donald Trump is in, they're no longer stonewalling us.

Oh, nice. Right. So they can charge him. And now he's also going to be charged by the DOJ because Donald Trump is in office. He's going to be charged for attempted assassination on the president of the United States. He's going to go to jail for a very long time.

I mean, can you can you think of, anything more obvious that you're on the bad side, you're on the wrong side when a guy who's got a gun pointed at the president and is on record saying, I'm going to kill him and I don't care if I go to jail for the rest of my life for it. And you're like going, yeah, it is dismiss him. Is there, are you like, you're in law enforcement. You're at the FBI. You're at the DOJ. Do you begin to think, you know what, maybe we're on the wrong side. Maybe we're the baddies.

Maybe we're the bad guys here. Maybe we're the bad guys. Okay, so I was only talking about his man boobs because it's out of fat. And I know that's what you, you know, that's, because you're there with the box of cookies. I am. Cexy cookies. Mm-hmm. K-E-K-S-I.com.

Pat, of course, this is a lovely box you have. This is a nice Easter. Yep. So it's the Easter bunny on it. Easter bunny. Notice you don't put Christ on the box. I mean, I don't. You're not a Christian.

You're not a Christian. I am a Christian. Okay. You're just going with the bunny, though. We decided to go with the bunny. I didn't make that decision. You didn't make that decision. You were in rooting for Christ.

I was. Okay. I begged them. Right. Put Jesus on the cross. Let's show what's going on here. Well, that's not Easter. That's the death you would think.

Maybe the empty tomb would have been okay. Right. Gosh, you don't get, you don't get Christianity at all. Apparently not. Now, that was not the bone I had to pick. Okay. All right. So it's not the bunny is not very well.

No, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful box. Can you order these still, or are they still available? It's sold out. And, okay. And then it's... This is what you do every time. You bring this thing and stuff, and they sold out.

And then it says underneath there, you know, turn the box. And egg squisset bites a weight. Get it? Egg squisit. So what exactly does the egg have to do with Christ? He ate eggs. Oh, okay. Big omel.

All right. Okay. I didn't know what gospel is that found, Stee. It's in olive. It's the guise. The gospel of Steve. Chef Steve. Chef Steve.

Anyway. Again, it's not the box, because I think that's very nice. I will say the shoddy workmanship of your product is something I need to call out. Really? Yes. All right. Because I am going in here right now. This is a, I don't know what flavor cookie this is.

They're all nicely individually wrapped inside. But look at this. This is. Oh, my gosh. This is half a cookie. This is not a whole cookie. You found that in your box? In my box right here that I've been waiting to bring home.

You sold your... I did not eat half of it already. I did not eat half of it. It is just... I have not touched it. I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm with you.

I think he ate half of it. He had to have because nobody else would have. Yeah. That's outrageous, Stu. How do you explain this? Because you also have in this box, which is now sold out so we can't promote. A orange chocolate brownie situation? Yes.

Which looks incredible. Oh, man. I wanted a piece of that. Right. Yeah, you said you wanted a piece of it. Right. You mentioned it. like several times yesterday.

Yeah, I really wanted to try it. Wow, I wanted to try that. When I open it up, look what it looks like. Oh my gosh. It is, there's only like a quarter of it left. Not even. I would say it's an eighth of this brownie. Do you have, do you have?

Who packaged that box? Right. I don't know. I'm going to look into it. You have a bunch of really, really, really. I'm going to say it. I'm going to be, I'm going to be politically incorrect, but honest. You have a bunch of fat people packaging those.

Yes. That might be it. That might be it. Several of them have gained weight. Do not. Neither of them. Neither of you should look anywhere else but there. I promise if you go to kexie.com, we'll make sure that your cookies are whole.

Really? Yeah, I will. You could guarantee that? I will personally guarantee that. Wait a minute. Could I be. Glenn is here. You know, when your cookies arrive, I can't vouch for.

I just want to be the inspector. I'll be inspector 12. I'll be inspector number 12. Yeah? Yeah. So I'll make sure your cookies. Oh, wow. Are appropriate to be sent.

Really? Yes. And not harmful in any way? Not harmful, not poison. Just fresh. I'll be sure they're all fresh. Do you have any recommendations, Pat, because you have in here, like, you can freeze the cookies or whatever. You have, like, ways you can enjoy them.

Should you leave the box that you want to consume in a room with Glenn when you're not in the room? Well, whoa. Wait a minute. How am I suddenly getting thrown shade on this thing? I have nothing to do with your shoddy workmanship. Wow. I'm concerned. I'm concerned about... I am too, past. Yeah. I am too. Now you're on my side?

I've been on your side the whole time. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I mean, geez. Holy cow. So, I don't know if you've heard the ruling from the court on President Trump now having... This headline just bothers me. Just bothers me. Trump administration appeals ruling granting Associated Press access to, quote, president's most intimate spaces, end quote. Most intimate?

Yeah. Because I don't go to the Oval Office as the most intimate space of the president. Right. I'm sure he's got other spaces. He probably does have other. But that is exactly what. So now AP has to be allowed on Air Force One and in the Oval Office. And in his bedroom.

All of his intimate spaces under the covers. Uh-huh. So I might I might understand this if we were the Bill Clinton presidency But it's not So the trumpet So when he's like

True thing from the toilet They're right in there They can be right there They are right there They must be allowed there They must be allowed Right Yep

So he said that he doesn't want them In you know The White House and the press room and everything else because, I mean, he actually listed, let me see if I have it, the fake report about the explosion that took place October 7th, 2020, outside the hospital in Gaza.

It blamed Israel, okay? The false report claiming the U.S. director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, very good friends. Deceptive framing of Vice President J.D. Vance's speech concerning the Georgia school shooting. the false election claim about Project 2025 being the Republican blueprint for a second Trump term in the White House,

false report that Russia fired a missile into Poland. And of course, what really broke the camel's back here was not calling it the Gulf of America. Right. And he's right about that. I mean, it is officially called the Gulf of America. He can do that. Yeah, you might think it's dumb. But he can do it.

Nobody said anything about, you know, Mount Denali. Right, right. Nobody said anything about that. I mean, we kept calling it Mount McKinley, right? Yeah. But we weren't, we were not a, you know, we do what we want to do. You know, like, right. I'm not asking you to get into the president's most intimate spaces.

Right. I don't. And have you been allowed in his bathroom while he's tweeting or truthing? No, no, no. Or Barack Obama's. No. No. So that's what's one of the best.

Usually because Big Mike is there. and I'm afraid of him. It's fascinating to see that because the argument from the left is, and seemingly the court was you can't choose. You can't pick and choose, right? Which is a fine standard to have, but like it's never been our standard. I mean, how often did we try to get access to, I don't know,

intimate spaces, but spaces anywhere near a Democratic president. By the dumpster. Right. Yeah. Can we, I don't know, can we sit outside like while you're throwing away? The recyclables? No, nothing. They never gave us anything.

So if the standard is, we're not going to discriminate at all. Okay. But like, that means you're letting us in, right? Like, I don't. Right. I don't understand what the, why, like, there was a, the white, the press, you know, what was the group that the White House, White House press corps, press corps, where they, they kind of had an arrangement where they made those decisions.

Correct. But like, and process wise, it had, they had to dissolve that for the press. to be able to make those decisions. Right. But they did that. They went through that process. And I love that. So they can make those decisions.

Well, they can make those decisions. What they're saying is they don't have to guarantee a question. They don't have to guarantee a seat. But they can't ban them. Right. Which is kind of, I think that's fair. Yeah. I think that's fair.

I mean, you know, that's what's happened to us. You know, the blaze, you know, under every administration it's been like, except this one, it's been like, yeah, no, you're not coming in. You're not coming in. Well, that's wrong. And now if you want to say, you know what, we have you on the list. It's just not your turn yet.

Okay, we all know the game that's being played, but that's the way they play the game. Yes. So the president doesn't have to take, he doesn't have to take a question from them. He doesn't have to have them there. He just can't ban them from those spaces. I think that's fine.

So does that mean every single person that claims to be a journalist? Right. Must be allowed. What's the standard here? Yeah, what is that standard? I mean, look, the AP obviously has been around for a long time. They do hit, I'm sure, some standards that many other journalists don't. But there's going to be a lot of citizen journalists now that insist on being included, aren't there?

I mean, I would if I was in that position. Yeah. The government said to the AP that they are on an equal playing field as, other situated outlets that are similar to them. Despite the AP use of disfavored terminology, the judge said the court does not order the government to grant the AP permanent access to the Oval Office, the East Room, or any other media event.

It does not bestow a special treatment upon the Associated Press. Now, Trump is appealing this. I don't think it's actually that bad. No. All right. No. So they have to come in. I don't have to take a.

single question from you. He just doesn't want to even look at them, which is, I don't blame him. And you know, it's amazing is these people are so arrogant, so unbelievably arrogant. Do you remember the pressure that came on me when we were at Fox? And who was it that was the White House correspondent at the time? And I said something good about him. Was it Jake Tapper? No. No, he was, no. Remember we had a White House press conference, press correspondent at Fox News. And at one point... Oh, Major Garrett? Was it Major Garrett? Maybe it was, yeah, Major Garrett. And at one point, he just asked all the right questions. And I had a picture of him framed. And I put it on my

desk and I'm like, Major Garrett, I think I have a thing for you right now. And I got my head handed to me. Yeah. That's going to get him, they're never going to ask a question of him. Ever again, don't you ever say anything about our White House correspondence ever again. You're going get a shut out. Plus it creeped out Major Garrett. Well, you were asking to get into all of his intimate spaces, which I thought was weird. That's a problem with that.

He's there. One of the most powerful moments on earth is when a young woman hears her her baby's heartbeat for the very first time. She might be scared. She might feel completely alone. But in that instance, something changes in her. In preborn clinics all around the nation,

they hear about this sort of thing every single day. When a mom sees her baby, on the free ultrasound that they've provided, she's twice as likely to choose life for that baby. That's where you and I come in. Right now, you can sponsor an ultrasound for that young woman who's facing the toughest decision of her life. $28 is all it takes to introduce a mom to her child,

and pre-born doesn't stop there. Once she's chosen life, they'll help her for another two years with financial help and counseling so she can get on her feet and be able to take care of her young child. So if you stand for life, not just in principle, but also in practice, this is your moment to step up. Please dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.

Some, if they're blessed, hear the actual truth. And there's a reason Jesus taught people with stories. He knew what we forget, you know, that a story, you know, can do what a lecture never can. I mean, you know. Humans are literally built for stories. I know. I didn't want to compare you to Jesus, though. That may be very uncomfortable.

I wasn't comparing me. It seemed like you were. I just, wow, what a thing to do as we approach Easter. It's true, though. It's just the way people learn, the way people remember things. It's important. I can touch you on a very human level. And that's exactly what happens in the new film, King of Kings from Angel Studios,

the same people who brought you Sound of Freedom. It starts with a father, tucking his son into bed, and what kind of begins as a bedtime story, turns into an incredible journey through the life of Jesus, seen through the eyes of a child. All the miracles, all the struggles, everything that he faced, you kind of go through it, and hopefully you and your family and your kids can understand it

in a way that maybe they never have before. It's an incredible cast with Pierce Brosnan, Kenneth Branagh, Ben Kingsley, Uma Thurman, Mark Hamill, Forrest Whitaker and so many more. It's something amazing for your holiday season. And, you know, the spirit is right, but the movie's fantastic and entertaining as well. That's what Angel Studios does. King of Kings actually opens today.

That's not true. you just didn't. I mean, half of your good news was terrible. The shower thing? Well, the shower thing was good. You could have shower pressure back? Are you kidding me? That's great news. That's incredible. Does that work like that? Can he do an executive order? Yeah, that's what? Remember George Bush did the light bulb thing? And that was an executive order? It happened over Christmas. We got back and they're like,

ah, you know, we're banning all light bulbs. Wait, what? Wait, what? Yeah, I remember that. So now. I didn't remember it being an executive order. How is that legal? this is one of the things we should of course get rid of. It's all these agencies that just do this. Correct. And I love that he's unwinding in this. I want, he should do more of this stuff.

There's a lot of quality of life issues that have just been destroyed by the left. Amen. And, you know, reverse those in big executive orders over and over here. You just need to clear out all of the crap. I just wish they do a doge on all of the regulations. And just go in just with. the hatchet and just start chopping regulations away.

All right, more in just a minute. On the wild plains of the modern American world, one majestic creature is fighting to survive, and that creature is the American rancher. Once found in abundance, this hardworking species is now being pushed to the brink by foreign meat

imports, by giant meat packing corporations that believe in cheap, processed fillers, who think added hormones belong in everything. But there is hope, and that hope is Good Ranchers. They are on a mission to bring back American meat, real meat, raised here at home in the heartland. That's why they only source their beef, chicken, pork, and fish from American farmers and ranchers. They don't deal with the big meat packing plants.

They certainly don't import anything from overseas. The meat they have is American and delicious. Good Ranchers.com. Check out my exclusive box.

It's been kind of a tough, scary week. You know, it started this last Monday.

The stock markets, you know, just continues to collapse. Wednesday, we get a reprieve. Then Thursday, yesterday, China says, oh, we're going to up our tariffs. They did it again today. They're up to 125 percent tariffs. We're already at 145% tariffs. A lot of scary things going on in the world.

But I want to tell you what it's all about and give you a little bit of hope because there is reason to hope. But you have to be clear on what is happening. We'll do that in 60 seconds. Remember back in the good old days when you were a kid and you knew how to sleep when you didn't need white noise or blue light filters or supplements, meditation apps, gummies that taste like candy, but leave you feeling like the next day. as a kid you just you lay down, close your eyes, you can be in the back seat of the car,

if you'd be anywhere, you'd be folded up in a way that every adult goes, I wouldn't be able to walk after that sleep. And then you wake up and you'd be running around again, totally rested. Well, it doesn't feel like that anymore, does it? That's where Z Factor comes in

And you're looking at things and, you know, Donald Trump might seem callous to some because he'll just say, you know, hey, stop freaking out.

Stop freaking out. And it's easy to say that as a negotiator. If you're negotiating in a company and you can say to your staff, behind closed doors. Listen, we're going to do some stuff, but I'm negotiating. Don't freak out. Anybody freaks out? We're going to lose the negotiation. Don't freak out. He's been trying to do that, but he has to say it on a global stage where everybody is watching him. So he's trying to say, don't freak out. I got this. I got this. And it's required us to have faith. And, you know, that's hard to give to a politician, any politician, especially if you didn't vote for

that politician. If you don't like Donald Trump, you're not going to give him the best. benefit of the doubt. You're going to think he's destroying the country. And it's really interesting because those who didn't vote for Donald Trump because they thought he would destroy the country, most likely voted for the last administration. And it didn't matter that they were literally on the take from one of our enemies, literally making millions of dollars, taking money to influence decisions from China. It didn't matter that they were lying, they were cheating, that they were literally stealing from you. Now we know through USAID, through all of these NGOs, they were literally stealing from you,

let alone lying to you. Remember when I told you about the Great Reset, something, you know, ESG, DEI, all these things that we now are very, very well aware of, and we know they are absolutely true. they were implemented by the same people who said they were conspiracy theories. I mean, that's the one thing I can't get past is the people, how do you get past? How do you hate Donald Trump so much that you can still run to the people who have lied to you over and over again about things that do matter? You know, when Donald Trump said, I had the biggest, I had the biggest crowd ever. Does that matter?

if he's telling a truth or lying, does that matter? No, we're not, we're not, we're not trying to undermine capitalism and go to a global government through ESG and DEI and the World Economic Forum. That lie matters. That one matters. That one will matter for generations. That one matters to your children and your grandchildren. But for some reason, some people will just continue to dismiss that. I want to remind you that while we're in this situation with China, first of all, China is the source of COVID.

Did you see this week what they came out with on that Biden covered up something we reported on almost, I mean, within a couple of months of COVID? We said, you know, we've been doing our homework on this and there was an event with a global army. And all of the armies around the world, they were kind of war gaming and getting together. And our troops were there too. And it was all in Wuhan. And they came home and they were sick. Remember that? And we're like, that might have been the first kind of outbreak of this. And everyone called us conspiracy.

They just released the documents that show that Joe Biden knew that. It was true. And they buried it. So we're dealing with a country like China really, really bad. You know that and I know that. We are dependent on China now. And that can't happen. Do you remember what COVID was like when everybody was like, oh, you can't get that, can't get that?

You can't get surgical masks because they're all made in China. How many times did we in 2020, 2021, 2022 say, I've never seen this in the United States before. Wait a minute, there's a shortage of what? Okay? We weren't used to that. Don't forget that. Don't forget that. Especially when it comes to things like medication and rare earth minerals.

You may not know exactly what rare earth minerals are or your friends might not know, but rare earth minerals are what it's going to control the world. You don't have access to rare earth minerals. You can't make batteries. or chips. Okay? Nothing. China is buying them up from all over the world,

and we have created this country where we can't even mine our own rare earth minerals, and underneath some of our mountains, we have more rare earth minerals than every place in the world combined. But our government has shut that off. Now, why? Let me again remind you what we've just come out of. The Cloward and Piven strategy. Cloward and Piven were these two university professors back in the 60s.

And when I first brought them up back in the early 2000s, everybody was like, that's crazy. She's just a sweet old lady. She didn't mean any of that stuff. Yes, she did. Yes, she did. She was the one at the White House with Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton that did the motor voter law. That was her.

Why? Get people, everybody who's registered for a license. get them registered to vote. The whole thing, her whole plan with her husband, Cloward and Piven, the whole thing was to collapse America economically, overwhelm the system and collapse it economically. We're dealing with that reality, okay? Whether it's intentional or not, we all know.

We all know. You look back, you look at this world and you see, my gosh, is this a sprawling, chaotic system that we've all been swore. wept up in and it has strangely worked in many ways until it doesn't work because of something like COVID. And then it all falls apart. And you look at everything that we're doing, the endless wars, the draining of our spirit and our resources with these endless wars, government spending like there's absolutely no tomorrow, printing money until it feels like monopoly cash. globalism that has left us leaning on our enemies for things as basic as medicine and rare earth minerals.

Elites in our universities and now running our schools that are destroying our children by teaching them to be victims and not teaching them how to empower themselves by learning how to think. Worst of all, the global governments, the World Economic Forum, the WHO, the United Nations, All those things that have said to us for years, no, we're not doing that. We're not doing that. And now we know they have been doing it. And with our help from the elites and our own governments. And they have redesigned the world.

They have infiltrated a compliant press that denies the truth. They are continuing defying common sense. And they are defying the will of the people openly, openly. openly destroying our nations, destroying our history, our unity, now arresting those who dare stand against them. Whether it's the guy down the street on the school board or at the school board meeting that's like, hey, you guys are all crooks. What are you doing to my kids? Those who are protesting rape gangs in England, they're off the street. Actual leaders running for higher office against the machine in France and Romania.

they tried to do it here. This is all a house of cards, and it's trembling under its own weight. And deep down, every single one of us know it. One way or another, we all know it. Whether you're in denial or not, that's up to you. Even those on the left, the ones who have been the loudest about keeping it going all along, the ones who are now protesting and burning Tesla's, unless you're a useful idiot, unless you're somebody who's like, yeah, our side's always right.

I'm going to burn down a Tesla factory. You know, unless you're just a useful idiot, you know this is not about what's right and wrong. This is about keeping the decline of this nation and the entire West on that path. Because the elites, some of those that are tied to the last president and his circle, push this idea of the Great Reset, which is a managed, decline. They see the cracks just as much as I do. They're trying to control the fall so they can control our future. They know there's too much money to be lost. So let's get together with all the big banks and the big corporations and finding out more and more our CIA and everybody else.

And we'll manage this collapse. Keep the people down. Keep the people quiet. And then we'll control everything and we'll reset. That's not, God didn't give you the right. to do that. God didn't get the right for anybody to do that to a whole population of people. So this is what we have been fighting against. And now Donald Trump is standing up and saying, that is so deep and metastasized. To save it, we have to turn this thing a hundred and a, this is the world's largest aircraft carrier ever in the, ever in the imagination of mankind. It's like an imperial stormtrooper ship, you know, of an aircraft carrier. Practically half a continent and you've got to turn that thing around.

So let me talk to you about fear. Just that should scare the hell out of all of you. Every single one of us, it should scare our children and our children's children. It should scare everybody who's in the sound of my voice because you know it's true. there is trouble whether it's intended or not. This doesn't work anymore. Okay? And it's because we got off common sense and common values.

Now the question is, are you going to fear it or are you going to face it? And that's really what this election I think was about least for me. I see one guy who's willing to stand up and say the truth. and then actually follow through with action. I don't see politicians follow through with action. He's actually not afraid of doing it. I'm not afraid of the truth. You shouldn't be afraid of the truth.

The truth will set us all free. It's scarier to pretend it's not there. Yeah, it's going to be tough. It's going to be really tough. We've got some hard times ahead of us. There's no sugar coating. Nobody should sugarcoat. that. But it's what is the goal at the end? Is it for the elites to control everything or is it to give

you power? Because both of them are risky. Both of them could end in violent revolution. Both of them could fail. But I know which side I want to win. I want the side that says, hey, these values are worth fighting for and trying to save. And it might be our World War II. It might be our great depression. It might be our civil war. But I'd rather take that on than pass it on to my children because I'd rather have my children have the opportunity sooner rather than later to be free. The system's been running on fumes and when it finally sputters out, we're going to feel the jolt one way or another. What's been happening this week is dedicated people who know what's going on that says, okay, I don't want.

want the pain, but I'd rather take it on my shoulders now than pass it on to my kids because we might be able to save it now. If we're honest about what we're facing, let me carry the load. Let me wrestle with the mess that we've made so they don't have to. Because a controlled fire is good. Forest fires are good too in the end, long run. But a controlled fire is good. It gets rid of all of the underbrush.

and it actually replenishes the soil so something better can grow. And some controlled burns are going to happen. We have a chance here, a chance to rebuild, to rethink how we live. We cannot continue to rely on far-off enemies. We have to start looking closer to home, to our own soil, to our own hands, to our own people. We can make things again. Not the things that we made in the past. We're never going back to those days.

something new and even better is on the horizon. But we can grow things. We can stand on our own two feet. It's time to say you're 25 years old. You're not a kid. Adolescence now. Adolescence now last till you're 25. In George Washington's time, you were an adult when you were 13.

Are we getting better or weaker? This is not going to be easy. but what is the what's at the end will either be completely bogus or real again. And somewhere inside of me, I know we're not done yet. World has been through collapse before empire's fall, systems crumble, but the ones who make it are the ones who dust themselves off. So I'm for one willing to take the hit. I'm willing to grit my teeth because I believe in what's on the other side.

And I know it's, you can say, it's easier for you to say, Glenn, but I only succeed when you succeed. I get a paid to salary because you have the money to buy things that we advertise. So if you don't succeed, I don't succeed. I lose everything too. I just want to encourage you to pray on this this weekend and find the strength to at least face the truth and turn the page. because it's not just about survival. It's a new start. All right.

10 seconds, station ID. So I wrote something for, who know? Once a bounding storm of fur, and might. Uno ruled our days, our hearts, our night. A German shepherd, noble, strong and true, a friend, a guardian, a soul we knew. Through the years of laughter, tears, and play, we watched our children grow each day. A steady presence, warm and near. His silent love erased our fear. We clung to him, his neck our shore, when waves of grief would cry. crash and roar. No words, no fixes. Just his gaze. A quiet balm in stormy days. The door would swing, his joy would leap, a welcome home no clock could keep. Vacations came, we'd roam afar. But Uno held his head the steadfast star. I'll be here,

his eyes would say, a promise kept. Until this dark day. Now still he lies, a king deposed, his mighty frame by time enclosed. A shift of eyes of fleeing spark greets us through the growing dark. Our friend, our kin, our shield, our pride. The kids grew up with him beside. This weekend comes a bitter end to lose our ever loyal friend. Oh Uno, how will miss your grace, your soulful eyes, your steadfast face. Glenn Beck.

right now on the Blaze TV. It's episode 253, why Trump must annihilate Mexico's cartels like ISIS. It's quite an amazing episode. I had Brandon Darby on. He is the co-founder

of Breitbart's Border and Cartel Chronicles. These guys have been relentless on the border. Breitbart has been there for, I mean, from the beginning, and the border and Cartel Chronicles are fantastic. You really want to know what's going on in Mexico.

This is it. And to say that Mexico is a failed narco state, I'm not sure people really understand what that means. They are so out of control now. They just found mass graves in just about 40 miles south of our border. 40 miles. They found crematoriums or ovens where they were just, they'd kidnap people, take them and just burn them. It is completely out of control.

Here he is talking in the podcast, cut three, please, on one of the cartels. Listen to this. When you asked me to come on the show, my mind, I had already been in a podcast. place where I was like, I need to bring attention to Halisco. I need to bring attention to this cartel called C.J and G, right? Cartel Halisco. The head of that cartel is a guy named El Mincho. Okay. Now, they used to be a Sino-Loa faction. They broke off from the Sino-Loa cartel. I mean, we could get into, people can watch Narcos if they want to know that story, right? But the bottom line is this particular cartel is so brutal and so powerful.

They have ties to the current Secretary of Defense of Mexico. That's a fact. And they're protected. So when the U.S. government, you know, like him or hate him or whatever, when Trump first came in, his first term, what was that, 2016, 17, but when he first came in, he had promised, In fact, it was on a radio show with me at the time. I was guest hosting a show.

And Stephen Miller, it was his name. He came on and he promised that they were going to go to war on cartels, Mexican cartels. But they didn't the first term. And I'm sure there were a lot of complicating factors, right? Like Trump 2.0 and Trump 1.0 are not the same at all. And I personally am a fan of 2.0 a lot more. I like 2.0. Yeah, we go.

But what they did was they kind of went after MS-13, right? And I guess they assumed that, well, people won't know the difference or we're keeping as much of our promise as we can. But Trump 2.0 is really going at it. But the problem is that they're really not going after Cartel Halisco, right? because they're protected. So they're going after the Sino Loa cartel, which 10 years ago no one could have done.

And they're going after the Gulf Cartel, and they're going after Los Zetas. They're going after a lot of folks. But are they really going after Cartel Halisco? They're not going after Cartel Halisco. Tell me what they do. Tell me why these guys are so bad. Well, they're just brutal.

So you traditionally have had folks like the goal, of the Gulf cartel and Los Etes who had their leadership taken out. Remember, there were those younger guys who came in, so they didn't care as much about tomorrow, right? They only cared about today, which meant the typical things we relied on, like our entire counterterrorism strategy on the southwest border, again, analysts will say this is an oversimplification, but I think it's a fair, it's a fair oversimplification. We've said, well, these cartels won't allow a terrorist to come through because they know what that would do to them. They know that that would shut down their money

and their business, their corridors. Well, you could say that about an old school cartel with an old leadership who doesn't want to kill police, doesn't want to kill U.S. citizens. They just want to make money and they know how to avoid trouble, right? But when it's a bunch of young guys, all doing cocaine and methamphetamine,

and they don't care, they know they're going to die tomorrow anyways. They don't care. So he goes into how these guys have changed and how the Mexican government is in bed. I mean, the cartels have been running with Mexico. It's clear. How deep does it go? That's what I asked, Brandon.

It's go has, you know, five years ago, I would have said they had 31 states in the federal district, right? kind of like their DC, Mexico City. I think now it's considered a state, so it's 32 states, right? Right. More than half of that territory is under the control of cartels. Literal control.

Like literal control. So in the United States, if someone is in trouble, we might send, you know, the FBI or the ATF to go get them, right? In Mexico, they can't do that. In Mexico, they have to send in their elite Marines. They have to send in

like hundreds of soldiers and armored vehicles to go and get someone if they want them. And that's even then that it's very rarely, rarely is it successful, right? There's usually the cartels are using drone attacks, you know. It starts to resemble a smaller version of Ukraine and Russia right now. So it's under their control. So it's very tricky. I think later on in this discussion will probably, we get more in detail about, maybe we will, about, you know, the problems that the U.S.

has in doing things in Mexico. But to make a long story short, years ago, as in a year ago, maybe even, up to a year ago, the way that people in the intelligence community and in the law enforcement community in the United States described it to me is they said, when we have law enforcement or intelligence, you know, priorities, the State Department would always say, hey, wait a minute. You need to balance your law enforcement and intelligence priorities with the State Department's diplomatic concerns. Oh, man.

And so you've got to think about what the U.S. government does. That's, that's, that's, that's, it's, it's, it's horrible. That's like Vietnam. So this is what happens. It's people leave D.C. they go to Mexico for a two-year assignment or so, right? They take a sheet of paper and they write out their priorities and they say, okay, here's what I'm going to accomplish while I'm here.

And after I accomplish these things and I leave, I can go to Honolulu or wherever I want to go, right? Some, you know, Southeast Pacific Island or something because I took this dangerous assignment. They have to work with local partners with Mexicans to get these priorities done. and they start to do it. The U.S. government starts to go after a particular cartel boss,

and then all of the people that the State Department's working with and depending on say, well, you need to back off that guy. It's going to cause problems for us. Why don't you go after this guy instead? This is Al Capone. Absolutely. So to what you said a minute ago, what can the U.S. do if the U.S. goes after them,

does it break them up and turn them into, You know, is it like a hydro? Do you chop the head off and more heads come at you? I think that the U.S. government doesn't really need to do that. I think the U.S. government needs to look at the reality of Mexico. Mexico, everything is for sale. If you're dirty and you throw money around, you have political power, and you can get things done. So he went on to say the U.S. and Donald Trump needs to treat them like we treat al-Qaeda.

Do I think we can get to a place where any time someone raises their head and starts trying to be a big shot in Mexico in supplying that fentanyl or drugs to our country that they die and they know not to do it? I think we can. But I think it's going to take it's going to take the. the Trump administration really ramping it up, and they are ramping it up, but ramping it up more quickly than they are, they're gonna have to, because what do we have, we have,

how long do we have till midterms, like right now, like a year. A year, yeah. And so they're gonna need to really accomplish the bulk of things in this next year, because we don't know what Americans, you know, are gonna choose at that point and how difficult things might become.

Should we say to Mexico, our State Department is going to say what we did in Cuba. Sorry, no travel to Cuba, no travel to Mexico. Okay, so this is where things get really tricky, is in a way we can do that with Mexico. We can play hardball, but you have to remember that China is courting Mexico. I know. When Mexico's nationwide telecommunications, right, it wasn't, a U.S. company who got the contract.

It was Huawei. It's China. China would love to have a proxy on our border, right? So we have to balance that. So what I advocate is just to consistently use the intelligence community

to get these people. Get them, take them out. Doesn't even have to really risk U.S. life because we can get, there are plenty of people in Mexico, even if the Secretary of Defense is unwilling to get Minchot. there are plenty of people in Mexico who are willing to you understand this and i i suggest that

that's what we do i suggest we treat them like we're dealing with al-Qaeda um not the entire country right uh but when it comes to these people we have the intelligence we 100% i know for a fact that we do um you know one of the the weirdest things about being in my position is that about About half of the information I come across, I make public. But half of it is, there's really no public. I'm going to ruin someone's investigation, right? Like if someone says, oh, this cartel boss is going to be here, is supposed to be here on this date according to one of his bodyguards, right?

Well, what am I going to do with that? What I'm going to do with that? I'm going to share it with people. I'm going to share it with law enforcement. I'm going to say, hey, you don't become me in this position and not have some you know, friendly relations with people in different agencies, border patrol, like CBP, like, you know, all of the agencies are someone I know or can talk to. And I'm very open about that. Like if about half the information, maybe a little less than half, there's no public value

in sharing that the head of this particular cartel is going to be here in a week. But there is value in sharing that with law enforcement. This podcast is available everywhere tomorrow. You'll learn things about Mexico that will honestly, you're thinking about going on vacation in Mexico. I wouldn't. It is a changed place right now. And I think our State Department should be warning about the dangers of Mexico. They try to stay away from American citizens, but these guys are really very out of control.

That it's available everywhere, tomorrow available now, at Blaze TV. This summer, one man faces his greatest enemy yet. The housing market. And the clock is ticking. Open houses are packed. The paperwork written in Greek. He can't afford to overpay. He can't afford to sell too low.

He's got to find a real estate agent who doesn't suck. And time is running out. Sounds like a really bad movie, doesn't it? Look, buying, selling a home dramatic enough without having to deal with a terrible or even mediocre real estate agent. I know. I've done it a million times. I didn't know how to look for a real estate agent. I had no idea.

How do you even interview them? You want to stay away from real estate agents that are part-time, somebody that your friend says, oh, my cousin is. No, no, no, no, don't do that. I started my company, real estate agents, I trust to pair you up with the top sellers in your area. I started working with the 500 best real estate agent. agents in the country based on the metrics of the Wall Street Journal. I went to them. I talked to them.

I got to know them. And then I started finding others like them. My company has vetted these people like crazy. These are agents that will get the job done the right way and they do it the first time. The kind of agents, you can trust to get the job done right. Go to real estate agents. I trust.com. That's real estate agents.

Chuck Todd, who was on Meet the Press. Chuck Todd is a reporter. Meet the Press was a show on NBC. NBC is a network people used to watch. Anyway, he was on Pierce Morgan, and he was trying to explain to peers, why nobody in the mainstream media talked about, you know, Biden's feebleness and losing of his mind and his marvels. Listen to this. I sit here and I'll defend a little bit of this in that I would argue the reason people were able to come to their own conclusion on Joe Biden is because of the media coverage.

You know, look, we were subtle. He's using the back staircase. He's not using the front staircase. Hey, he's not doing any interviews. So there was this reluctance to draw the conclusion to say, is he not doing this? And that I agree with. That was held back, held back a lot. I would argue it was also held back a lot back in the late 80s when it was clear Ronald Reagan.

Wasn't necessarily running everything in the White House. Whether you want to call it decorum, whatever you want to call it, lies. Look, there were plenty members of the media. I remember David Ignatius in the Washington Post. Plenty of individual people questioning whether he should run. run. I certainly questioned whether he should run. You didn't understand, you know, there were some of that. But I understand the argument about the collective on that front. The only thing I can chalk it up to

is this, whatever you want to call it, this fear that some members of the media had sometimes that they would be perceived as helping Trump if they somehow diminished Biden, right? That it was some sort of zero some game. And I think this has been the fundamental mistake that many members of the traditional press have done. Whatever, Chuck. I mean, that's a... It's honestly true. What that means is you value what people are going to call you over the truth.

You value your political outcome over the truth. Just this week or was it last week, we took on Donald Trump a couple days in a row on the third term. Okay, that's not helpful for, you know, you think people are not going to say, you just don't like Donald Trump, whatever. We know that's unpopular with a lot of people. but we value the truth over a win or a party or a person. The truth is the business we're all supposed to be in, Chuck. Don't try to write this off as well. We said he was going, not going, you know, it was going up the back stairs or he's not giving speeches.

Stop. Stop. Stop. You know, we live in a world where you never know if things are going to be the same from one day to a next. there's it is uh it's just such a crazy world and we've lost a lot of our traditions and our stories and who made us uh and that's why king of kings from angel studios it opens today in theaters it's why it's so important it's it's not just another bible movie uh it's a father charles dickens telling his son the greatest story ever told uh and it's all animation you see the miracles the teachings the sacrifice above all you see god's love for the world uh the animation is beautiful the is incredible. I mean, I can't believe Angel Studios is getting people that they get into work.

I mean, it's crazy. We've moved past the era where Christian films sucked. In fact, it's weird because that's what Snow White. They've made the message more important than the movie.

Oh, that also. And profite. Villaray, the voice that we love. There is some amazing research that has come out from the Capital Research Center and Ryan Morrow. he's been on with us in the past talking about extremism and dangers of extremism. This new study out that shows Turtle Island, you ever heard that term Turtle Island? You know what that's referring to?

The United States of America. The indigenous people said this was Turtle Island. And so these extremist groups are trying to restore turtimore. Island. No, they're not. They're trying to destroy America and they're into Fata groups. And he is exposing them. I read his article today and it's like, oh my, wanted to get him on right away to talk to you about it. Ryan Morrow, he is next. So if you're hearing this, you're the resistance. Look around every day. People all around you go about their daily lives, blissfully unaware that much of the money they spend gets funneled into support causes that they

don't approve, things they didn't sign up for. You know better because you're awake. Your cell phone plan, for instance, you know that the mobile company that you're maybe with still today sends money to plan parenthood. And do you agree with that? Do you want your money going there? You want to find a company that lines up with what you believe, but you don't want the hassle. You don't want to lose the coverage you have. And you don't want to lose the good price? Well, all of that can be taken care of with Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider and they're exactly what you've been looking for. They're on the same towers as the big guys, so their services are just as good. Their U.S.-based customer service is even better.

And best of all, they're part of the parallel economy, the resistance that we have been building for years.

Ryan Morrow is a counterterrorism expert, investigative researcher for the Capital Research Center, where he monitors extremist groups in the U.S. He is also an adjunct professor at Regent University. Ryan, welcome to the program. Glad to have you back. Thanks so much, Glenn. You bet. Man, I read your story today, and America faces pro-Hamas. Intifada on its own soil.

It is terrifying the facts. Do you want to take us through this? Sure. So over at Capital Research Center where I work, we've done a series of studies because we want to collect data to see just how anti-American the so-called pro-Palestinian movement, I say so-called because it's really not pro-Palestinian. Many of the groups don't even talk about that issue all that much. But we want to see the level of extremism within that movement.

as I've talked about on your program before. And so the latest study that we did, we wanted to see how it has changed from the 15 months before the October 7th attacks and then also look at the 15 months after the October 7th attacks and see if anything changed. And what we found was based on their online postings and the engagement and everything is that the anti-Americanism, which always existed, has now basically taken it over. It has absolutely exploded to the point where calls for anti-American violence, particularly towards the police, has increased by about 3,000 percent. When you look at about 500 of the top so-called pro-Palestinian activists and organizations, charities, and groups like that, and the overall anti-American vitriol has

increased by 186 percent since the October 7th attack. Okay. So tell me about these organizations. because you say they're not really even pro Hamas anymore. They're anti-American. Have these just been shill organizations, kind of Marxist organizations from the beginning? Or is this just a natural morphing from, you know, we got to get rid of baby Satan to get rid of the great Satan? Many of them were Marxists or anarchists to begin with.

And you can tell if you really follow this up, but they weren't really forward about. it. They have since become more forward about it. Many of the groups are kind of suspected with support terrorism are now open about it because they got a comfortable environment, an environment where it was rewarded. And so the mask was able to be dropped. And October 7th was kind of like that testing moment where to show to your own radical audience, whether you are authentic or not, you had to say something. You can just be silent coast along anymore. And so the result is that the mask dropped on a lot of these pro-Palestinian groups as to what they were really, about. And then you have a lot of new groups form, some as nonprofits and some just as online

groups that are unregistered as anything. And so the anti-Americanism that was always there is now a central focus, in some cases more than the focus than is on Israel even. So when you say they're really anti-American, your article talked about Fourth of July. And how many of these anti-Israel groups, how they reacted to Fourth of July? As cynical as I am, I was even shocked by this. So I looked at as many groups as I possibly could within a limited time frame, how they reacted to the Fourth of July holiday last year. And what I found was over 250 anti-Israel groups condemning the holiday,

saying they refused to celebrate it, in most cases saying that America, is an illegitimate, cellular colonial state using the same terminology that they use to delegitimize Israel State should be destroyed. Some blatantly endorsing violence. I saw one that was ridiculing Martin Luther King for being nonviolent. And so you look at all of this, and you can really see the infrastructure, and we're talking about easily hundreds of registered nonprofits and thousands of unregistered groups. Any of them getting money from our government?

Yes, that has been seen in the past, particularly the groups that are linked to Muslim Brotherhood. Various organizations have done research into that. So that is certainly an issue. They get money from the big donors, the predictable names like the George Soros Network. And so you have these sort of mainstream, left-wing democratic money powerhouses that just are giving money out, whether they realize what the recipient tends to do with it or not. It might just be that they say, oh, social justice, and they say, oh, well, then you're a good guy, and then they give them the money, or they might be complicit. I don't really know any justice.

But this is a business. Like, they condemn capitalism. These are jobs for people. Like, they get bonuses and raises as they fundraise more off of this. So tell me about the Students for Justice in Palestine. I'm trying to remember, because I know I have done in-depth stories on that. but they now are just all a blur. Who's students for justice in Palestine and who's funding them and what are they doing?

So students for justice in Palestine is kind of the backbone of the protests against Israel and the United States that you've seen since the October 7th attacks. They have a presence on, they claim over 200 college campuses. So they're all over the places that they're the main focal point. Not much is known about their leadership and fundraising or anything like that. because there's a particular arrangement through complicit nonprofits that they have to make us that you can't see anything. I mean, there is no transparency. We know that there's a link to American Muslims for Palestine, which is run by people who come from the Hamas network as groups were shut down. They then gravitated over to this group and formed American Muslims for Palestine.

And students for justice in Palestine is like kind of part of that, even though we don't know too many details. We know that they're tied at the hip. and soon as for justice in Palestine did get some negative attention for their protests after the October 7th attacks, especially because they openly supported them. They're one of the first groups to actually celebrate them.

Many of these groups before the Israelis even retaliated in large measure for the attacks were already saying Israel is a genocidal state, stop them from retaliating, and these attacks were awesome. But what wasn't really noticed, because everyone was so shocked by them supporting the October 7th attacks,

was that that same statement. also included a sentence where they said that they don't just support the groups that did it. They're part of them. They're a part of Hamas. They're part of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is like the communist counterpart to Hamas. And they called for violence to resist occupied places and then refer to the United States as occupied Turtle Island. That's a call for violence on American soil. Explain Turtle Island.

So Turtle Island is this terminology that comes from. from a Native American net that when the world was created, particularly North and Central America, it was created on the back of a turtle during a global flood, and the Native American tribes referred to as Turtle Island collectively until the white man, the settlers showed up and then genocided them all.

And so when these groups refer to the US as Turtle Island, it's the same thing as saying, well, Israel, you should call Israel, you should call Palestine because of their mind, there's an illegit of a country that everyone with moral fiber is obligated to fight and to destroy. And truly, they're just at the beginning. And so it seems ridiculous.

But it's not ridiculous. And it is working in many ways over in Israel. It's the erasing of the entire history of a country. It's legacy. It's everything about us. By taking and saying this is, let me give the quote, liberating colonized land is a real process that requires confrontation by any means necessary. In essence, decolonization is a call to action, a commitment

to the restoration of indigenous sovereignty. It calls upon us to engage in meaningful action that goes beyond symbolism and rhetoric. Resistance comes in all forms, armed struggle, general strikes, and popular demonstrations. All of it is legitimate, and all of it is necessary. Wow. It's unbelievable. And the people involved in us, those are your, the students involved with us, those are your future employers, your future politicians, your future influencers. I mean, that's where everything is headed. And the trend lines are not good. I was looking at a poll from 2017, and obviously everything's gotten much more radical since then. And they pulled American adults and asked them about various things relate to extremism. And that poll in 2017 found that 8% of American adults supported Antifa.

another 8% said that they liked white nationalism. That's a total of about 16% in 2017. Now, if you consider the fact that Trump won the election by about one and a half percent, what that means is that as these groups coalesce and form a voting block or even if they don't vote, they're just able to influence minds, they can determine who wins elections. And you better believe the political industrial complex and politicians are going to increasingly realize that and be tempted to pander to them. Is this why the Democratic Party seems to have just completely lost their mind

and they're going with AOC and everybody else who's a massive radical? I think so. I mean, because this is the grassroots now. These are the activists, the people that they may not represent the majority of the opinion, but they certainly form the majority of the online opinion makers. You see the numbers of support for Israel. compared to support for the Palestinians. And the support for Israel is now at record lows on both sides.

Is that a result of these organizations? I believe so. I think it's also a result of foreign governments that promote seditionist-type beliefs and behaviors. They want to achieve what one expert called discourse collapse, where basically you fill the American news ecosystem with so much BS that people just kind of like believe what they want or believe what appears in front of their eyes most often.

And I think that that's why you're seeing these crazy fringe beliefs becoming mainstream. And I think if you put it all together, I would say that when we hear Death to America, we think it's crazy. But I would say Death to America is crazy as a belief system, but as a goal, it's actually achievable. And I hope people wake up and realize that. Ryan, as always, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You're doing just, you know, God's work on this. I appreciate it. Thank you. Ryan Morrow. Thank you.

You bet Capital Research Center, investigative researcher and counterterrorism expert. It is truly something we need to be very, very aware of. We have won a four-year period here, but that can change on a dime, as we're seeing this week. You know, economy goes away, and Donald Trump does not win. The Republicans don't win, and you go back to Crazy Town, USA, that surrounds, themselves with these kinds of people. Do you want to live in a society that is built on the backs of these kinds of people? The answer should be a resounding no.

But because we have such a bad media education system and everything else, and we're so polarized in politics that we can no longer see the truth, these people are going to, they are going to be the, They will make Thomas Jefferson's prediction of if we don't fight the Muslims now. He was saying this when he was president in the United States. Our first foreign war was with the Muslims over with the Barbary pirates. And he stopped it. And he said, I want you to know they're never going to quit.

They're never going to end. They believe all of these things in their Koran. and they have a right to enslave you, to kill you, to take over all lands. They have a right to the entire earth. And if we don't defeat them now, they're going to be our first foreign war and maybe our last foreign war. I mean, look how prophetic that guy was in 18, what, 7? All right, back in just a second. 187?

1807? Who says 187? You're saying 18? You don't Joe he's 1807 anymore. Are you really going that direction? Why? Why? Why?

Why do I? Why do I? Why? Why, Lord. Have I offended these so greatly that you've strapped me with this donkey? Let me just speak in his language. I thought you're going to ask would probably be the right term there. Yeah, I was talking to God.

Something was driving me nuts about that interview. We discussed it briefly before it started. Yeah. So let me bring in this. Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East face violence, persecution, and even genocide for their beliefs. Faithkeepers, a new documentary film from the Clarion Project, captures their stories and exposes this humanitarian crisis to the rest of the world.

Ryan Morrow, associate producer for Faithkeepers, join Glenn on today's show. from 2018. We were like, oh my gosh. We've had him on more recently than that, but I'm like, what, how do we know Ryan going way back? Yeah. It's like he's like really an important memory and we couldn't remember. I feel, I'm sorry, right, but we couldn't remember why. It's like, why is he so important to us? We have a relationship with him and we could not place it. Yeah, yeah. That's back in 2018, seven years ago. So first of all, he's been on this beat for a very long time. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But also 2018 does not feel like seven years ago to me. Oh my gosh, seven

years ago. Seven years ago. Like that, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, the thing, though, I think, maybe second worst, is, when someone's like, did you know, we're closer to JFK being assassinated in 2001 than we are to 2001 or all the, whatever the stupid things are, all that does is make me sad. It just brings on an, an, an utter feeling of sadness. It's really, it's, it's, it's, it's fascinating to say that because I was thinking the other day, the worst thing the Internet does is child trafficking. I said it was second. But I corrected myself and went to second. All right. So child pornography. That's right. I clued those together. It was a tie. I didn't say how many things were tied for first a lot. Time goes fast. I know it does. Really fast. I know that we are closer. We are closer today to the

The JFK, no, when the JFK movie came out in 1991, it was closer to the actual assassination than we are now to that movie. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. That's incredible. Think of this. I don't know. I just said I hated this stuff.

Now you're going to do. When we were in 1980, we were closer to World War II. and all of the music and the movies and everything else that came out at that time that we thought as kids were like, wow, I say it. Yeah. We were closer to World War II that we are now to 1980. Don't say it. That's crazy. You know, it's funny now because now like millennials are getting that.

Like the memories that they have have those same time kind of time gaps and make, now they. They're feeling old. And if millennials are feeling old, what does that make us feel? Oh, like I feel like a dinosaur every day. I'm like, all right. More in just a second. It's Friday, gang.

It's Friday. This is Glenn Beck. You know, there's a lot of different things, weapons that you can carry, you know, out in the world if you don't want to carry a gun. of them are going to be way less successful at stopping an attacker, but there are options. You have your pepper spray, your knife, brass knuckles, baseball bat. Basically the take my money and beat the crap out of meat kit. You know what I mean?

Anyway, what you really need, if you don't want to carry a gun, or even if you do, you just want a second option so you don't have to kill somebody is a weapon that sends a very, very clear message. You pick the wrong target. And that weapon is the burner launcher. It is non-lethal, which is often the way you want to go, but it stops an attacker in their tracks with kinetic or pepper rounds fired from a CO2 cartridge.

If you happen to be in the Dallas-Fort Worth area tomorrow, I'm going to go, if you follow me on Instagram, is it Instagram or X that I posted this last week, I'm a collector of cars. And Jay Leno and I have. a lot in common when it comes to Bentley's. In fact, I tried to buy one of his the other, you know, a couple of weeks ago.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. I'm like, you don't really like that one, Jay. And he's like, you know, I just don't sell my cars. I just don't sell my cars. Why would he? I know, why would you? Why would you? But I was, I'm trying to put together a collection and he's just got a great one. His is incredible.

Is his car collection. You've been there. You've been there with me. Remember? Together. It was incredible to see all the stuff. It's unbelievable. And he's such a good guy.

He's such a good man. I really did seem like it. I really like him. But anyway, so I tweeted something out that I, there's a collection now. I'm a big Bentley fan, racing fan. And in the 1920s up to 1930, W.O. Bentley, he didn't. didn't believe in endurance races. He thought that was ridiculous. No car can last 24 hours at high speeds.

And he was convinced by a bunch of people who were actually World War I flying aces. They were crazy, crazy rich. They were all like dukes and earls and everything else. But they were in their 20s, had all this money, had just got out of World War I and were addicted to speed. And so they went to him and they like, no, you know, no, we think your cars can do that. And he's like, well, I'm not going to put up with, I'm not going to do a race team. That's ridiculous. What a waste of money.

And he was kind of actually poor at the time. So they, to get into Lamont, they had to buy these private individuals. They had to buy 50 race cars from Bentley. You had to have 50 to be able to get into the racing circuit. So they buy 50. These, by the way, are the people that James Bond is actually modeled after, the character James Bond. That's why he's always in a tuxedo. he'll be doing something crazy and then he'll straighten his tie and he's got a tuxedo on.

That's based on the Bentley race team. And so I have this 1934, Lamon, it's just a piece of art. It's just so beautiful. They had it for a long time. And then Bentley came out with years ago, they came out with a hundred year anniversary of pretty much that car, that race team. Okay. And I've been looking for that car forever and can't find it and can't find it. And anybody who has it just doesn't want to sell it.

And there's just a few of them made. And I also have in 1930, Bentley was sold to Rolls Royce, unbeknownst to W.O. Bentley. They did a separate LLC and said they were another company because he said, I'm never going to sell to Rolls Royce. They'll destroy this company. And so they made up another company. And they went, we'll buy it and keep it away from Rolls Royce. and it was Rolls Royce. And so they never won another race after they sold a Rolls Royce until they were sold again by Rolls Royce, I think in 2000.

And they're a racing team. And they were finally like these old lady cars are off our back. And they started building, you know, race cars again. 2002 or 2003, they won LeMond again. So I have the tribute car to that first rate and the race and the tribute car to the 1920s, 1930. and the 1930s race car. And they're going to be, it'll be seen together for the very first time this weekend

at a just a local car show, Connor's car and bike show. It's in a little town, Keller, Texas. It's at their, I think it's at the town hall. And it,

it helps Down syndrome. The money goes to help Down syndrome. So I like to go there every year. But this year is going to be really special. Yeah, because this is this the first time these have ever been together? I don't know anyone who has that set. I mean, I'm sure maybe there's a,

maybe there's somebody, you know, Ralph Lauren could, but I know he doesn't. I mean, who, you know, you have to be a really big Bentley fan and be relentless. And yeah, yeah, wow, that's fascinating. Yeah, and also have a love for history, which, of course, you do. Yeah, such, anyway. Anyway, so I'm going to do that.

And then also, don't forget, King of Kings is coming out. Oh, yeah. And that is a new Angel Studio, which, by the way, has already made in pre-ticket sales about $14.6 million. Wow. And pre-sales. Pre-sales. Now, this is, you know, if you remember, they had Sound of Freedom was one of their big movies. And it was massive, massive, massive hit.

They, this is now outpacing that, which is really incredible in pre-sales. What did What did? Because this is being compared to Prince of Egypt. Yeah. And I've seen, this is really, if you liked Prince of Egypt,

you're going to love King of Kings. You're going to love it. You're going to love it. What did Prince of Egypt do on its opening weekend? You know? That's a good question. I'm reading a story from Deadline that says it is now poised to overtake Prince of Egypt

for an animated biblical pick opening. Wow. Which that was a big movie. Huge movie. I remember that. That wasn't that the first SKG movie? Spielberg. That's a good question.

I don't know the answer to that. I think it was. I think it was. Anyway, that was a big movie. That's coming out. And by the way, just some more good news. Disney Snow White. It didn't do well.

No. No. And the Guardian is actually reporting because you have to report these things if you're making a movie in England. You have to report your carbon footprint. Uh-huh. So Disney was like, you know, we're going to be a green company. That's going to be a green movie because it's all about nature, you know.

It generated more greenhouse gas emissions in the UK than the latest fast and furious film. Which is about really fast cars burning gasoline. That's all that is. That's all that is. In fact, Snow White and the live action Little Mermaid created more pollution. than any of its other movies made in the UK since 2019. That's when they started reporting this. So they're going the opposite direction.

I just love that. I can't believe I revel in the demise of Disney. But, oh, I do. I do. Oh, by the way, we were talking about Jay Leno. Did you hear what Jay Leno said? He was in California. Yeah.

And they're, you know, you don't have to have, if you have an antique car, and antique is, I think in America, it's 25 years. You don't have to have the emissions package. Okay. If you buy a car, otherwise you've got to make it so you can drive it within meet all the emissions. And you can't in old cars. No. So I don't know what they've just passed in California.

But Jay was like, no one with cars are going to, they're killing all of the old cars and they're killing all the new cars. There will be no cars left in California. So he's trying to pass Leno's law, and he was up in Sacramento, and here's what he said. They might think, oh, Jay Leno's at the capital, the California state capital. Well, I know having annoying celebrities come to Sacramento. I watch them on TV. They have no idea what they're talking about most of the time. But this is subject.

I'm interested in it. You know, I watched the movie industry get decimated. Everybody moved out of California. They charged so much to film. Everything went to Texas, Georgia, Atlanta. We have the hot rod culture. The people come here, all the design studios, Toyota, Nissan, everybody, Hyundai, they have design studios in California because this is where the new ideas come from. When Leah Oka designed worked on the early Mustang, he had the horse turn west because that's where the good ideas were.

And they're still here. But to see all these ideas leave and go to Texas and all these other places because it's easier to do business, I don't want to see the hot rod or the mechanical interests leave California to the way the film business did. That's amazing. Yeah, it's about a smog rule. Yeah. And so they put on these environmental restrictions that, of course, they can't hit. He said that he now has to drive, when he's driving his classic cars, he drives them, he'd be driving them more to get the smog checked out than he actually drives them normally.

So he has to, because you have to go to a specific station, I guess, to get the check. So more miles being put on to get the smog tested than he does normally driving it, which obviously in theory for the environment would mean that this law is making it worse, right? He drives them, you know, I don't know how often he gets to each one, but he tries to drive all of them. You know, I've talked to him and, you know, I've asked him about certain cars and, you know, should I buy this? And he'll be like, are you going to drive it? are you going to let it sit there? And I'm like, well, I want to drive it.

He's like, okay, good, because all cars should be driven. So he really drives all of his cars, which is incredible to me. He's got a lot of them. He's got a lot of them, but he drives them all. But he usually only drives them home. You know what I mean? He drives them home, back to the shop, home, back to the shop. He doesn't, you know, go on long trips.

But he has so many cars that, you know, he's got to drive each one of those to the smog station. which it's insane. Yeah, it's nuts. Does he have a plan for what he's going to do with this collection afterwards? Does it give it to you? No. Darn it.

I was trying to, you know, I was like, no, Jay, you're not getting any younger. I'm just saying. People love it when you tell him that. Is he thinking of a museum? Yeah, he's going to, it'll go someplace. I don't know where, but it'll, and maybe it'll be his own museum. Because he doesn't need to donate it to another museum. museum. It's a museum in and of itself. Oh my gosh. You remember? It's legitimately one of the craziest things I've

ever seen. My son, and I remind him this every time I talk to him. My son was, how old was Ray? He was young then. I mean, six, maybe five, six. And we're in Jay's place. The first time I had ever gone, I just had met him when we did the Tonight Show. And then the next time I was in town, I think it was my birthday. and my wife had called him up and said, hey, my husband has a surprise. I'd like to bring him to your garage. He's like, sure. And so my son is there, and we get there,

and I don't know where we are. And my son immediately sees a Bugatti, his 1929, one-of-a-kind Bugatti. Of course. And he's like five or six. He doesn't know in nothing. He just knows it's a beautiful, shiny car, and it looks like a race car.

And he's like, Dad! And he starts running to the Bugatti. And time slows down. Everything's like, oh, no, and I'm thinking, oh my gosh,

don't, don't, don't, don't. And I'm like, wait, right, right, right, wait, right, wait, stop, stop, stop, stop.

And Jay just reaches over and he grabs my arm and he's like, it's cool, man, it's only a car. It's only car. Yeah. Go in. Open the door.

Get in, sit in it, sit in it. And I'm like, it's a Bugatti. I witnessed this happen. Yeah. He was just like that. He was so cool.

He was so nice. So cool. So understanding. He took my kids. You remember all of a sudden, I mean, we're just going around and he's like, I'll be right back. And he leaves. And, you know, so we're just kind of wandering around for a while. And pretty soon he comes in his Edison.

This is before Tesla. You remember that? Yeah. He comes in his Edison Electric 190 whatever. And he's got my two kids in the front. And it's like an old carriage with a bunch of batteries underneath it. And he's driving around. He just took my kids and he's just like, I just want to jump the cars.

Yeah. And I mean, see, he's just such a great guy. Yeah, hard to overstate how cool of an experience that was and how cool he was. I've seen you do this before with some of your historical items where like, because you can't under me and I don't even want to touch them. They're like, you know, these are priceless items from like the 1700s. You're like, no, flip through the book, look at it. Because that's what it's meant to be. Even though you've got to be very careful. Yeah, to be careful. You know, it's not like a Bugatti that you can just find anywhere. Right, right, right. Yeah, that's true.

Sorry for the chocolate footprints. They're their fingerprints, by the way. I know. That's all I could think of with Rave was, I think he has jam on his hands. Don't let him in. Don't let him in. I don't want him in my car. And we drove a Nova here.

Anyway, all right. Let me tell you about relief factor. I would like to talk to you a little bit about pain. When you wake up in the morning, it's there greeting you. It'll join you when you climb the stairs. Pain will sit in. cars for more than five minutes. It'll be there.

Three-week quick start. Take it as directed. 1995, the three-week quick start. Less than a dollar a day. 800, four relief. 800, the number four relief. It's Relieffactor.com. Glenn Beck. We'll be right back. Look, Air Canada F.Cannada

Féle Worldial. Super, an offer for the assort, station thermal, volcano. Parlant of Volcan. You've seen the price for the Japan?

Mm, emperg and sushi. Wow, the solds are good for Mallorke also. We could go to the

beach and to find a long march on the bar of the sea sea-sail. Mm, I adore

the canolis. Attain, there's another decision VIII, this sold is an durier limited,

reserved to RKanada or to your agent of voyage, the conditions can apply.

Well, if we have time, I want to hit one piece of history that is repeating itself now that I find amazing. Stu, you wanted to hit, oh, I shouldn't say this. You wanted to hit Chuck Todd one more time. No, Chuck is fine. No. No, I feel like he had comments that we played earlier where basically he said, you know, look, we kind of knew at the time and this was going on, and we didn't hit it maybe as hard as we should have. And I think part of that was the media, you know, didn't want to be seen as helping Donald Trump.

And I found his comments to be pretty much accurate. Like I think a lot of it is that reason. Like they don't want to be, they're seen among their friends, right? As they're seen as helping Donald Trump. They're ostracized. Everyone hates them. This is not the way you're supposed to do journalism. I'm glad it's, I'm glad that it's coming out now and is being admitted cleanly like this.

But I do struggle with how to deal with that because part of me just wants to say, well, where the hell were you? Like, we were all saying this at the time. where were you? But I don't know if that's productive. I think it's probably more productive to encourage more of this type of talk. Yes. Yes. Even if it's after the fact.

Yes. You're as hesitant as I am, I think. I'm hesitant because, you know, we've been down this road before. They don't change. They don't change. They don't learn. No. They're not going to change.

And so, I mean, it's probably true. It is nice to see that they're at least telling some of the truth. But did you hear how he said it, too? He was like, you know, just, I mean, you can understand because they just didn't want to help Donald Trump win. No, that's not your job. I don't understand. What you should be saying is, we made a huge mistake. We're putting our politics ahead of the truth and ahead of the good of the country.

The other conclusion he drew was, you know, he shouldn't have run. You know, that's why, you know, we didn't say it, but that's why he shouldn't run. No, he shouldn't have been the guy with a football. Yeah. Probably for the last six to eight months, he shouldn't have been the guy, the guy. with the football. And the reason they didn't want him to win is because they, because they thought he thought he thought he was wrong for a man in that state to be president of the United States, is because they thought he might lose the Donald Trump. They would have kept that lie going.

They would have just kept it going. I'd still rather hear it from these guys than not, though. And I feel like sometimes the people that admit it get hit harder because we forget all the people that didn't admit it. Oh, I have, I'm like Santa. I've checked my list twice. This is Glenn Beck. Thank you.
