Starting point is 00:02:00 Now let's get to work. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. There is so much going on and so much good news that is happening. First of all, we have the guy who can tell us everything about this secret meeting that happened with the Trump administration officials. An urgent meeting. It's not really secret. It was private, but not secret.
Starting point is 00:03:20 It was an urgent meeting that happened on Sunday with new information on Russiagate, which it looks like they are going to be using to build a criminal conspiracy case against Obama, Biden, the administration of Obama and Biden, Hillary Clinton, and all of the political appointees that have weaponized the federal government. It is, we're about to open the floodgates. You'll get all of that information in about how. half hour. Also, I just want to go through some of the stuff. You know, from yesterday we find out, yesterday we find out that NPR and PBS gone, defunded. Nine billion dollars cut in Doge cuts.
Starting point is 00:04:05 So we saved $9 billion. It's a nice start. Then we have the rescission. We have the secret meeting. We have Coke now with coming out with sugar, real sugar. I don't know if I believe that, but I mean, it's another one the president, I guess I've been working on. And Rubio telling our outposts now that stay out of foreign elections. We're not getting involved in any foreign elections. What's happening? All of a sudden, like, our country is, it's like making sense. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:04:45 Oh, and there's one more thing. Looks like Trump is now saying to the courts, he wants the courts to release all of the information. they have on Epstein. No, and another thing. The Wall Street Journal has finally jumped the shark. What a ridiculous letter that they published. And Trump sues them, and I hope he sues the Wall Street Journal and Murdoch and gets at least the yachts and what?
Starting point is 00:05:13 The half of Australia that Murdoch must own right now? Because what happened to Donald Trump yesterday with the Wall Street Journal is an abomination. Oh, and the genius act. Oh, and good news with Stephen Colbert. And I'm going to start there in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Rough Greens.

I'd like to be a little, I don't know, less old. I'd like to be my old self again. But dogs don't complain. It's not in their nature. They just slow down quietly. Maybe they stop jumping on the bed.

Starting point is 00:06:39 your dog will ask for it by name. All right, let's say hello to Jason Buttrill, who is in the studio with us. Stu returns from vacation Monday. Jason, thank you for filling in this week. Pat, welcome. How are you? I am great. I'm even greater, if that's correct, after I saw a ex post from a real clear politics reporter about, I know you're going to get to the story later about this Wall Street Journal thing, but oh my gosh, I did not believe your predictions from the
Starting point is 00:07:13 Wednesday night special TV show would be coming alive already. You know, I talked about this a little bit yesterday. I don't know if I said it on the air or not. Maybe I don't know. But I was talking about how, you know, yesterday you were like, because you really have a problem with the, with the Epstein thing and the way it's been handled. And I think on Wednesday night, you were the biggest pushback on me because I walked in and maybe it was because you had ownership and all the hard work you put in writing a show. And then I, I walk in the last minute and go, yeah, I'm not going to use any of that. I have a theory.
Starting point is 00:07:55 And I walked you through this theory on Wednesday and you were like, really? And I thought you were a million miles away from believing it. And you're right. The Wall Street Journal practically proves that's probably what was happening. How many times have you done this to me, Glynn? I was like, no. But magic usually ends up. happening later, so it's all good.
Starting point is 00:08:23 I know. It's really incredible. All right, let me give you what I think is some of the best news. At least the most satisfying for me. Please play cut six. Here's Stephen Colbert. Before we start the show, I want to let you know
Starting point is 00:08:38 something that I found out just last night. Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending the late show in May. And, yeah, I share your feelings. It's Not just the end of our show, but it's the end of the late show on CBS. I'm not being replaced.
Starting point is 00:09:04 This is all just going away. Oh. Oh, and I'm sad. Tragic. I'm very, very sad. It's tragic. And who would have seen it coming, you know, besides anybody who's ever watched, you know, a funny, you know, show late at night? Who would have seen this coming?
Starting point is 00:09:26 that after people start to wake up, you know, and they start to realize this whole forcing people to believe what you believe just isn't funny or really acceptable in society. It kind of builds a bad civilization. Who would have seen this coming that, you know, those shows that we're pushing at the hardest are no longer popular and are going to be canceled? Now, he went on to say, well, this is just budgetary. Yeah, you know why? Because you can't make any money. Because why? Nobody wants to buy your stupid show.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Why? Because nobody's watching your stupid show anymore. Why? Because you suck. Why? Because you made it all about politics. I mean, it's really not that hard to figure out, Stephen. But it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Yeah. A bye-bye. Okay, so let's see. What else? Oh, here's one from CNN that I think you'll enjoy. Here are the CNN reporters revealing the new polling on Donald Trump. Here it is. I mean, look, I think this one surprised me a bit because of all these complaints online going after Trump and the Epstein files, you might think his approval ratings were going down with Republicans. If anything, they're going up. Republicans who approve of Trump, look at our CNN poll. The prior one, 86 percent, the one out this week, 88 percent with Republicans. How about Quinnipiac? The prior poll, 87 percent approved of Republicans. This week out, 90 percent with Republicans.
Starting point is 00:11:00 if anything, Donald Trump's approval rating has gone up since this whole Epstein saga started. He is at the apex or close there too in terms of his popularity with Republican voters, Epstein files, complaints or not. You know, I think Charlie Kirk said it best this week when he said, we're upset about the Epstein files because we love the president. We like the president. And we don't want to see the president, you know, duped by the deep state. And what he's been saying this week is he doesn't want to see his supporters duped by the deep state.
Starting point is 00:11:38 And as it turns out, he may be the right one on this. But we'll see. We'll see. As we'll follow it and we'll give you all the information coming up in just a little while. We have so much to cover today. Here's some more good news. Rubio has told now the U.S. outposts, a directive that U.S. consulates and embassies can still congratulate the winner of a foreign election,
Starting point is 00:12:07 but should not criticize an election without approval from a senior official. Marco Rubio directed overseas outposts to refrain from weighing in on foreign elections unless there's a clear and compelling U.S. interest in doing so. The order is intended to bring the department more in line with the White House and Trump administration stance on foreign elections. Now, this one seems so incredibly easy. You know, don't you hate it when another government comes into our country and they're like, you know what? Let me do it this way. So they were thinking that maybe what you should do is not elect Donald Trump. Are you going to listen to that guy? Even if you hate Donald Trump, you're like, hey, mind your own business, right?
Starting point is 00:12:58 But not America. No, apparently our State Department not only likes to overthrow governments that they don't like, but they'll be very vocal on it too. You know, you Swedish people are just too stupid to elect somebody smart like we do. Oh, that's good. You know what, Jason, I don't know about you. I cannot believe how much I'm impressed with Marco Rubio. Oh, yeah, unquestionably. And what was weird is at the beginning, he was kind of a lot of people were kind of standoffish on. And they're like, oh, really, Ruby? Yeah. But now I feel like what does he have, Glenn, like maybe 18,000 jobs right now and he's doing perfectly with all of them? It's insane. All of them do. All of them do. My podcast, my podcast today is with the guy who Trump had originally nominated for the head of NASA. He's this entrepreneur. that convinced his folks to just let him drop out of high school.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Had to get his GED. But just let him do his own thing because he was horrible at high school. His parents did. He starts a business. He turns it into a billion dollar business. His dad goes to work for him. I mean, it's this incredible story. Then as a kindergartner, and this made me feel really old
Starting point is 00:14:23 because he was like, you know, when I was in kindergarten, I remember reading about the Challenger. I'm like, oh, in your kindergarten, you read about the Challenger. I don't feel too old now. But he said, I remember reading about that, and I was just in love of the space program, and I always wanted to be an astronaut. So I trained myself. I took, you know, I went and I took my money, and I started buying up.
Starting point is 00:14:57 airplanes, you know, fighter planes. And then I developed the largest independent air force in the world. And then I contracted with top gun. And we were the fighters, all my pilots with my planes, we were the ones that would train against the the top gun pilots. We were the enemies that they would go out and dogfight with. Like, yeah, well, I got into radio when I was about, your age. This guy is just amazing. But he was talking about how
Starting point is 00:15:33 now the labor secretary is the interim NASA head as well. They all have 400 jobs and they're all doing them well. What is happening? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:48 What is happening? And this thing with Rubio like in the State Department, I don't know if you realize. I know this audience realizes this, but how big of a deal this is and how much work they have to do. But I mean, you've shown multiple times about how in a bunch of European countries, how the State Department not only is supporting another party or another president actively against the will of the people
Starting point is 00:16:13 that voted there. But they're also like funding like George Soros groups to hit the streets and protest and give this illusion that there's like a big uprising. It is, that is embedded in their culture. And training those people. Yeah. Right. It's. It's. It's the state department that goes in and trains the revolutionaries on the streets to help them overthrow the government. The state department doesn't like in some foreign country. It's insane. And he's changing that culture. And so is Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Yesterday, it finally went through. It's now sitting on the desk for the president to sign. He has cut $8 billion from the U.S. agency for international development. That's USAID. Just because it says aid in the name, it's not an aid program. They're not starving children by cutting this. They're stopping the overthrow of foreign governments. It was a tool used by the State Department and the CIA. This is Donald, I mean Donald Trump, John F. Kennedy started USAID, not as an extension of the Peace Corps and, you know, some sort of a food program. He did it because the agency he shut down was a, was a shell and a ghost
Starting point is 00:17:37 operation for the CIA. And when he found that out and found out what they were doing, he was like, well, I'm shutting this down and I'm starting a new program. And we're just going to help nations develop. And the CIA was like, okay. And they just went into USAID and did the same thing. Finally, that has been cut, cut, and a billion dollars no longer going to the corporation for a public broadcasting. And they're really, really sad. They're very sad.
Starting point is 00:18:10 They don't know what happened to them. They're like, wait, I thought everybody loved us. No, no, no. Here's another piece of good news. Trump is now saying it looks like he's going to. to designate organizers and financial backers of the violent ice protest as terrorists. So if you are backing the violent ice protests, you're going to go on the list for the government as a terrorist organization. Oh, boy, that would be, uh, that'd be bad for your, you know, your, your,
Starting point is 00:18:53 your date nights. Sorry, I don't know if we can go out to eat tonight. I've just been designated a foreign terrorist. I mean, that's really bad. So he's designating organizations as a terrorist group. If you provide material support, he will freeze your assets, restrict travel for members and supporters, and it will allow for enhanced,
Starting point is 00:19:23 law enforcement surveillance. I don't like that. Investigations and federal resource deployment while signaling security threat domestically and internationally. Now this is of course going to be, you know, they're going to start saying, they're going to starve children or whatever their excuses this time. These are people, many of them, working with foreign governments, who are working with our own governments with the people that used to be in USAID to, overthrow our nation. If you are paying and organizing these protests that are designed to be violent, not all protests, those that are designed to be violent, I'm sorry, you're a terrorist. Because what you're doing fits, the only word that fits by definition is the word terrorist.
Starting point is 00:20:21 you are trying to change the country's policies by instilling fear. So congratulations on yet another great move by the president of the United States. Now, the House sent the Genius Act to Trump and passed two other crypto bills. We'll get into that. We're also going to get into some really good stuff in about 10 minutes with the guy that that actually wrote the article that Jason was just talking about. Paul Sperry, he's with a real clear investigations. He's a senior reporter there. And it looks like the Trump team is now going to release some documents that have been classified, which will expose the Obama era Russia hoax conspiracy. That's, you know, that it doesn't matter, right?
Starting point is 00:21:14 You can't do that because statute of limitations. No, no, no, this changes everything. And Paul will be with us in just a minute. At first, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. When you turn on the news lately, it can be hard to know what to think. Wars, rocket attacks, families fleeing their homes, nothing but the clothes on their back. It is easy to feel helpless, especially it's a world away. And I don't want our government involved in this war. I don't want my government.
Starting point is 00:21:42 We should not be involved. Let Israel fight its own wars. But you can do something to help and to show support. You can provide food for a hungry Holocaust survivor in Israel. You can help a family forced to shelter in their basement because of the rockets. You can provide blankets, clothing, warm meals. You can help armor some ambulances and things like that. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground right now,

So about an hour and a half ago, two hours ago, Susan Crabtree from real clear politics, she is their national political correspondent. She tweeted something about, you know, that Wall Street Journal, ridiculous letter that was posted. I mean, just, just so bad on Epstein. She just posted that the guy who was the reporter that did that story, his only job.
Starting point is 00:25:42 of, you know, journalism before that was he worked for main justice, which is Glenn Simpson's wife's publication. Who's Glenn Simpson? Glenn Simpson is the founder of Fusion GPS. Whose Fusion GPS? The firm that Hillary Clinton paid to come up with and produce the steel dossier. Come on. I mean, this is just, it's incredible. It is absolutely, on Monday, we were all going, Donald Trump, what are you doing? Why are you saying this? By Wednesday, I'm like, wait a minute, I think he might have some.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Today, it's just like all falling into place. You're like, oh my gosh, this is such a setup. Oh, it's incredible. Now, real clear politics having a really kind of a banner day, especially today, real clear investigations, the senior reporter there. Paul Sperry is the guy who really has the story on what the Trump team is doing on this giant conspiracy case that they are building. Paul, welcome to the program. Glad to be with you. Thank you. So on what was it, Sunday they had an urgent meeting, the Trump officials, and what were they meeting about? Tell me,
Starting point is 00:27:08 story. What we know is they have declassified a new batch of documents related to the Russia Gate hoax, and they're planning to release them soon. And I've got that confirmed now from the highest levels of the ODNI. And they're planning to brief reporters and publish the documents in a report prepared by DNI Gabbard's office, which has declassification authority across the IC, the intelligence community. And this would be just the first wave of the classification. It's not a dump of all the documents at once. And it's, all this is being coordinated with the White House and the Department of Justice.
Starting point is 00:27:58 And this is a 200-page congressional audit. And what is it saying? That's part of it. That's part of it. There's more? Yes. They're not going to release the whole thing, as I understand, They're going to take some pieces from it that I was told the documents not only definitively definitely back up the internal CIA review of the ICA and possible perjury by Brennan and Comey.
Starting point is 00:28:28 But there's way more from that, including emails showing links between the crossfire hurricane and the rigged ICA operation. This is the intelligence community assessment that Obama ordered, which would strengthen the predication for a conspiracy to Frank Trump case. So, I mean, this is like, this is like an unbelievable smoking gun if it is as advertised, right? I mean, could we have asked for a bigger smoking gun than this? Well, we don't know exactly what it is. And, of course, we've been overpromised in this never-ending zombie brush a gate scandal. and been underdelivered on the promises so many times. Like, you know, it's almost like losing the football at this point.
Starting point is 00:29:21 But, you know, the investigation, the conspiracy investigation is real. I mean, this is happening. And we understand there is a case file number and an EC officially opening the investigation. This is an electronic communication. and it's been assigned to a field office. And they're focusing on a number of potential co-conspirators, and we'll be publishing a list of them at Real Clear Investigation, so stay tuned for that.
Starting point is 00:29:55 And what they're dealing with, what's that? Hang on just a second. We do know that Comey and Brennan are part of that list, don't we? Absolutely. They've actually formed. formerly been named already in a criminal referral and for conspiracy to commit perjury. And what they're doing with trying to do this as a conspiracy case rather than individual charges, they're trying to deal with the statute of limitations, which is five years in federal cases, most federal cases.
Starting point is 00:30:37 So they have to tie it all back together as a broad conspiracy to get around the time limit. And that's why they're reaching as far back as the Clinton email investigation to also show the double standard of her favorable treatment by Comey versus Trump's aggressive treatment. And this is also by Obama and Biden investigators and prosecutors, you know, going forward all the way up to the Mar-a-Lago raid. So, you know, according to their case theory, you know, they all conspired to protect Hillary and to frame and to stop Trump. To protect Hillary from what? Just the... From investigation so she could be president. From convicts, from, you know, they exonerated her.
Starting point is 00:31:33 The servers. And they never investigated. And that's another thing that they're looking at. in these documents is the declassification of these highly classified annex, first of all, in the Specter General report that revealed a number of foreign actors breaching Hillary's emails in her unsecured email server. And then Comey and Peter Struck, who was the head of counterintelligence, he was supposed to investigate things like that.
Starting point is 00:32:09 He didn't bother. It's just completely neglected to investigate that huge breach. And then you have the classified appendix in the Durham report, which talks about a Clinton intelligence, a Clinton plan intelligence that was intercepted, and Brennan got a hold of it. And, you know, basically laying out a Clinton plot to frame Trump. and this was in July 2016, and Comey and Instruct didn't investigate that either.
Starting point is 00:32:42 So it's a double standard, disparate treatment, and that's part of a conspiracy case that they're building. Okay, so let's just say that we're not Lucy, and we haven't been down this road a million times, because I know the football can be pulled away from us at any moment and probably will. but let's just look at this moment and say, okay, these things are possibly going to be produced and are real. What does this mean for the people involved, do you think? I mean, how bad is this going to get and how deep will they go? Well, I mean, there are a lot of co-conspirators as long as your arm that would be named it once. but and you know
Starting point is 00:33:33 it definitely is ambitious but it's not pying the sky because the data points are all there for conspiracy
Starting point is 00:33:39 they just have to find a grand jury to hear all the evidence with an open mind and that won't be in D.C. But that's, you know that right,
Starting point is 00:33:46 that won't be in D.C. Yeah, 90% right automatically bias against Trump but they could move it
Starting point is 00:33:55 to Florida, right? Sure, because as an ongoing conspiracy, They're going all the way through to Jack Smith and in the whole Mar-a-Lago business. And on and on, it goes with, you know, leaks and more sabotage.
Starting point is 00:34:14 But, you know, this influence operation has done lasting damage. You know, it's caused lasting damage to Trump in his presidency, his legacy. Polls show that the vast majority Democrats still believe, still, to this day, that Trump is a Russian agent, despite the complete debunking of the Hillary's dirty dossier and the P-K and all that made up garbage. So in the end, Paul, even if these people go to jail, if that's not corrected, and I don't know how you would correct that in people's minds, if that's not corrected, this only makes the left even more angry and probably more violent because now they're locking up everybody who was just against Donald Trump. How do we solve this? What does this mean in the end
Starting point is 00:35:09 if we can't change that? Well, there has to be some accountability and it may not, you know, lead to convictions, even indictments. But if it gets out into, if these documents get out into a court law, if they get out into a courtroom, the media will finally be pressure. at least. I'm not saying forced to cover it, which they've buried this because they're so invested in the whole Russia business they won
Starting point is 00:35:41 Pulitzer's for. So they're running block and tackle against any of this stuff. But if you finally get declassified documents and put out there in the public domain, put it out there in the courtroom, smoking
Starting point is 00:35:58 guns, as you were saying, they have to cover that I think right now they want to get past this Jeffrey Epstein news cycle so the media doesn't have an excuse not to cover it before they release this stuff or at least let it die down a little bit. A couple of questions. Why wouldn't we release it? Why wouldn't they release it? You said if they release it. Why wouldn't they?
Starting point is 00:36:24 No, it's going to be released. It's just they're preoccupied right now with the Epstein business. do you think that's what is leading to the president being so angry? He's like, I've got something. Would you please shut up so we can release this? Possibly, yeah, because I know that they briefed the White House on this on Tuesday. And I can't imagine that chief of staff didn't in turn brief the president. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:56 And the last thing, the meeting did not have Pam Bondi or Tulsi Gabbard in it. Do you know why? The principles were not in the meeting. It was high-level staff for both the DOJ and OD&I. Why? Is that normal? I don't know. Yeah, that's normal for stuff like this.
Starting point is 00:37:21 They don't have to be there. You know, then they're briefed about it. Okay. Paul, great investigation. Thank you. Thank you for bringing us up on speed. this is really remarkable if it happens. It's game-changing.
Starting point is 00:37:37 It absolutely could. It's definitely the dam is starting to break on all this. There's no doubt. Paul, thank you very much. Got it. I got to tell you, Jason. Wow. I mean, that's what we've been hoping for, right?
Starting point is 00:37:56 That's what we've been waiting for. This restores the trust. We've been saying we needed to see from Epstein, this could be the one that, I mean, you can go all the way back to Hillary Clinton. I can't imagine they're going to lock her up. They should, but I can't imagine they're going to lock her up. But I mean, to be able to have those documents out and show this conspiracy. Again, I don't know if it's going to change the left's point of view because they're just insane at this point.
Starting point is 00:38:27 But get it into a courtroom, that's going to be pretty intense. Yeah, Glenn, I mean, I mean, I'm just biting my fist through that entire thing because I just don't want to scream out. This is amazing. You got to give it to Paul. He is the true personification of a journalist and investigator. But while he's narrating this, I started talking about it. I'm like, oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:38:51 They're really in the deep state. Everything. Thank you for saying this. Thank you for saying this because I'm talking to Paul. I don't know Paul. And I'm talking to him. He's like, well, yeah, I mean, you know, it would be a very big deal. Like, wait.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Oh, my gosh. I thought it was bigger than that. You're exactly right. He's a journalist. That's a journalist for you. Okay, more coming up in just a minute. Stand by. Our sponsor is Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Starting point is 00:39:19 When a first responder runs toward danger, when a soldier leaves their family to defend your family, they're not thinking about recognition. They're not looking for praise. They do it because it's right. They do it because somebody has to. Otherwise, we live in chaos. But when tragedy strikes, when a hero,
Starting point is 00:39:35 ends up making the ultimate sacrifice. We need to be to people who remember the people who care, the people who are willing to step up and say, your loved one's sacrifice is not for nothing and not forgotten. That's what the Tunnel to Towers Foundation does. They pay off mortgages for the families of the fallen first responders and military members. They build smart homes for our most severely wounded heroes. And they make sure these families know,
Starting point is 00:40:01 you're not forgotten. You're not alone. We don't know these people, but we can't help them in a very personal way by taking a huge stressor off of that family and carry forward a legacy of duty and honor and sacrifice. That's what Americans should do. So will you join the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and me? Stand with them. Be a part of something that truly matters.

Starting point is 00:41:31 that I may not have been as right as I usually am when I said the left is afraid or the politicians on the left are afraid of their own base and afraid of the Uber left and the violence.
Starting point is 00:41:47 I think there is a possibility that is not that they're afraid of the revolutionaries on the street they are more afraid of justice. They are more afraid of going to jail because they know this thing looks like we're closing in. And it looks like everything's going to be exposed.
Starting point is 00:42:10 And so they're more afraid of going to jail than they are of the revolutionaries. I think that's why they're not stopping possibility, why they're not stopping the most violent among them. it's is that they feel probably that they have a better chance of survival with those guys than they do with prison and prison time. All right, more in just a minute. This is Glenn Beck. This is actually turning into a very satisfying week, and I'll explain coming up in just a second.

Selina Zito, first of all, Selena, congratulations. Let me just say this. I don't know if this is the first time that it's been said to you on a national broadcast. But I want to introduce you to Selena Zito, a number one New York Times bestselling author. Hello, Selena.
Starting point is 00:47:23 No, it is the first time, and you're going to make me cry. I was with the first time I was the number one New York Times bestselling author when it really meant something when the New York Times wasn't just like, ah! I was with Vince Flynn. And he said, congratulations. and I said, thank you. And he said, I want you to know how hard it is for me to say that because I worked my whole life writing to get there. And you?
Starting point is 00:48:00 Yeah. You just wrote a story and now you're number one. I feel for you because you worked your whole life in writing and studying how to write and listening to people. And I'm so proud of you and happy for you, Selena. Well, I have to take this moment to first thank you, Glenn, for using your platform to introduce your listeners to the book and to the importance of the book, not just about what happened to that day, not just about me being a witness to history, but also why things are happening the way they are. That's what the book Butler does. And it really gives a profound look at what is happening. in the country. And I think it's, it concludes at the end with a chapter called The Reckoning. And it's about my profession. And it really tells you everything that you need to understand about what is happening with my profession. And you can see it with the whole Epstein thing.
Starting point is 00:49:06 And also the, okay. So I want to, hang on me. Yeah. I want to get into the Epstein thing. I've got so much to talk to you about to get perspective on, but I have to start here. Could we please play the CBS reporter who now has had to have therapy? Listen. For those of us there, it was such a horror because you saw an emerging America. And it wasn't the shooting, Chuck. I got diagnosed with PTSD within 48 hours. I got on trauma leave, not because I think of the shooting, but because Because you saw it in the eyes, the reaction to the people. They were coming for us. If he didn't jump up with his fist, they were going to come kill us.
Starting point is 00:49:50 I know. I know. Wow. No. Selena, I did not get that appearance from anybody, but he was there. He saw it. Wait a minute. You were there.
Starting point is 00:50:08 What did you see? Okay. Well, I didn't see. see that, you know, first of all, when you're a journalist, your last reaction should be, this was about me, right? Because you're there to tell the story of what happens. You're not there to talk about your feelings. And so, and it's just so insulting for him to frame it that way because he was talking about, you know, people turned around and were yelling at the camera. He thought they were yelling at him.
Starting point is 00:50:47 No, they were saying, we also are going to fight. This is about standing up for America. And I know that because it's in the book, Butler. Well, he didn't read it. He was too busy with therapy. So, wait. So you're saying that when they looked at the cameras, they weren't looking at they were looking at the American people sending a message through the camera?
Starting point is 00:51:17 Yeah, and I know this because after the shooting, it's about two hours, it's an hour later, everyone is in the parking lot. Remember, there's 50,000 people there. There's at least 15 to 20,000 cars, and people can't move. Now, if they were angry and wanted to hurt him, they would have not been peaceful, sharing food, sharing water, hugging, singing. It was a very aspirational moment. And now one guy was talking to me, and he said, yeah, we looked at the camera and said,
Starting point is 00:51:51 we will fight. And like the one guy said, yeah, I gave the camera a finger. Then he goes, we'll tell the whole world that America is not backing down. And you can't take us out. Now, if you took the moment to, if he would have taken the moment, to think about it, maybe, you know, maybe he couldn't do it in that moment, but be more reflective afterwards and understood what was happening in the moment, he wouldn't be talking about himself and his feelings. But wait, is this, did you, is this what your psychiatrist told you after the shooting? Yeah, I didn't have a psychiatrist. Wait, but wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:52:39 You were just a couple of feet away from the president who was bleeding. You could see that. You had a secret service agent on your back. You were in the line of fire. And what do you mean you didn't go to a psychiatrist after? I don't know. I mean, you know, we have a job to do as journalists. And, you know, even though I cover politics and shooting isn't typically part of it, if you come up as a journalist, you know, you cover cops, you cover, you cover things that happen all over a city or a region, you learn to completely detach and do your job. That's what you do as a journalist. That's your job. That's your function. You're supposed to deliver the news as it happens, and your feelings are not supposed to be part of it.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Okay. Let me give you something different. This was just about two hours ago posted on X by Susan Crabtree. I don't know if you know her. She's the national political correspondent for real clear politics. Okay. She just announced on X that, you know, the Wall Street Journal did that report yesterday where they showed this letter and this drawing that Donald Trump sent to Epstein. What, you don't, you didn't believe that? It was in the Wall Street Journal. You didn't believe that, Selena? Not for a second. That's not his signature. Everybody knows his signature. And he wouldn't draw that sloppy.
Starting point is 00:54:16 He is very perfect about everything that he does. He would not tell that picture. All right. Okay. So I think everybody, even Elon Musk is like, okay. Come on. All right?
Starting point is 00:54:34 Yeah. Everybody knew that immediately, except for the Wall Street Journal and the reporter that apparently got that inside card or letter that he was sending to Jeffrey Epstein. Now, here's what Susan Crabtree just reported about two hours ago. The Wall Street Journal reporter that did that story yesterday worked for the main, worked for Maine justice. which is Glenn Simpson's wife's publication. For those who don't know who Glenn Simpson is, he's the founder of Fusion GPS. If you don't know who Fusion GPS is,
Starting point is 00:55:14 they're the ones that were paid by Hillary Clinton for the Epstein file. I mean, how? What? So how does an editor allow something to go past their desk like that. You have to press and
Starting point is 00:55:35 ask questions of the reporter. You have to make sure that everything they have said, especially something that could possibly be as salacious as this appeared to be. You have to make sure
Starting point is 00:55:51 that everything is unearthed. That's your responsibility as an editor. That this got on to a organization is just beyond the pale to me. My editor would have throat punched me if I would have tried to pull something off like that. I love that. Sorry, I was just talking to it. That's all right. No, no, no. It's so funny. I was just talking to Donald Trump's wallet yesterday. And I'm like, are you, have you gained weight? And he's like, yeah, a little bit from
Starting point is 00:56:29 CBS. But I'm about to put on pounds now with the Wall Street Journal. I mean, this is ripe for lawsuits and defamation. Is it not? Yeah, it is. And here's the thing, Glenn. And I don't think people are talking about this enough. Take a look at all of the wins that the president has had, not just since he was sworn in, but just in the space of the last six weeks. It's been unprecedented in history, those wins.
Starting point is 00:57:03 if you don't like what he's doing. I mean, that's the question. And I think the Wall Street Journal provided the answer. Well, I mean, I hate to ask Jason to explain, you know, how this has worked. But Jason, could you explain to Selena what's happened here today and yesterday? Are you talking about your prediction? Is that where we're going to now? I don't. No, I don't. I don't know. Whatever it is you want.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Salita, what happened was, I'm Glenn Beck's writer and chief researcher, and we were going to do this amazing story on Wednesday and show. Well, we were going to just talk about a whole bunch of Epstein stuff. But he throws it out at the last minute, which, trust me, has never happened to me before ever. Like, Glenn's never done that to me. But yeah, he just throws it out. And he's like, you know, I got this theory that I think that, you know, one of the reasons, Donald Trump is so pissed off and why he's naming Hillary Clinton and all those things in his posts is because maybe he's got inside information that they're about to start releasing information on that ties him in some way to this. Yeah, that is that's not true that you, you know, that he knows that this is coming and we're not seeing it. He knows it. And he's like, you guys cannot be this stupid. Now, I said on Wednesday, I don't know if this is true, but this is the only thing that makes sense to me.
Starting point is 00:58:37 And look at what's happening, which also brings me to why they're ignoring the left. You know, the Democrats have just let the left take over and they're revolutionaries and there's blood in the streets, or at least it's coming in buckets, I believe, if the Democrats don't start stepping up. And I said, I don't think they are. This is a few weeks ago. I don't think they are because they're afraid of their own supporters. I'm not sure that's true. After what we just saw with this letter in the Wall Street Journal and what is coming out of real clear investigations now about the conspiracy investigation that's going on, I think they're more afraid of jail than they are blood in the streets.
Starting point is 00:59:25 I think they are desperate now to stop this any way they can because they know it's over. What do you think of that? Well, so the key word that you just said, Glenn, is desperate. And desperate people do desperate things. And we see that just when this story came out yesterday, I was driving home from D.C. and thanking Jesus for getting out of there. And I thought, this is, this is so obvious. And to your point, if you just sort of follow everything, everything that the president has said,
Starting point is 01:00:09 everything that he has posted, and then all the sort of things like Epstein, Epstein, and then this Wall Street Journal, I mean, it's so, it's so, it's, so obvious even a 12-year-old could put the puzzle pieces together that they were prepping to do this because they know a bigger problem is coming their way. They know it. They can feel it. It's coming down their back. It's amazing. Selina, thank you so much for your perspective. And congratulations on the number one New York Times bestseller. Selina Zito, the author of Butler, a must read. If you want to understand not just what happened on that day, but understand where we're headed, what's happening in our country, what the press is missing.
Starting point is 01:00:58 I mean, I swear to you, I wish people had an open enough mind that people who disagree with me would just read this book because you would be able, if you had an open mind, you might be able to understand what people like me and others who are not revolutionaries, who don't want to round you up, who don't want any of the stuff that your side claims we want, you would begin to understand us really well, well written, well researched, and well done by Selena Zito. Thanks, Selena. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. You bet. Okay. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. Here's some fun information to write your day. If you pay a cell phone bill, you're funding something. The question is, what are you funding?
Starting point is 01:01:44 Well, you thought it was just a big corporation that was doing cell service, but you're not. That's not it. With most major mobile companies, your money is going to the same woke left-wing causes that actively work against your values. You're paying for a phone, and they're using your money to fight against faith and family and freedom. Why are you in bed with any of the big three mobile cell services? Patriot Mobile does things differently. They're America's only Christian, conservative, wireless provider. They don't just talk about supporting pro-life causes.
Starting point is 01:02:20 They don't just talk about the Second Amendment, religious freedom, and veterans. They actually do it. They actually put their time and their money where their mouth is. Every bill you pay helps fund those efforts. And the best part is you're not sacrificing the quality. To work with a company that aligns with your values, you don't have to sacrifice quality. You're getting great coverage nationwide. You're on the same cell towers as the company.
Starting point is 01:02:44 The big guys are on. You're just choosing to put your money where it makes a difference and fight for the things you believe in. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. Go there now.

Starting point is 01:03:06 10 seconds and we're back to the program. So, Jason, I'm not sure I understood what you were saying about what happened on Wednesday. And really? You're going to run this in? I mean, I just, I mean, I, you know, I, all I said to you was, no, trust me, Jason, trust me. I mean, I know you've worked really hard on this, but I've got to throw it away. Just trust me on this. I think this might be right.
Starting point is 01:03:42 And, and so then what happened after that? I'm trying to piece this. You kind of called the whole dang thing. Got it. Okay, that's all I'll say it. That's the part I was... Gosh. I'm just trying to understand what you were trying to say.
Starting point is 01:04:03 And now, so you're saying you were right, Glenn, I was wrong. I got it. I got it now, right? Okay, good. There was an amazing chalkboard plan. You just threw it out with a better one of your own. But, I mean, you know... Well, because it was wrong.
Starting point is 01:04:18 Just because it was wrong. I will say. say that in the years I've worked for you, that's usually when the scariest and most magical things happen when those moments do happen. It still pisses me off in the moment, but... I know. And usually it's not two days later where we figure it all out. I have... I know. I haven't had a writer yet that has written anything for me that doesn't, in some way, many days hate my guts because they will pour their whole life into something and then I'll walk in and go, yeah, that's really good, but I'm not using any of that. Uh, we're going to
Starting point is 01:04:52 this way. And so it's, I apologize for that. But again, I was right. Jason was. Hey, don't miss the podcast, the billionaire astronaut who should lead NASA. Jared Isaacman, this guy is amazing. He's a real life Tom Cruise. A real life Tom Cruise. I mean, even though Tom Cruise is also real life, you know what I'm saying. Don't miss it. Glenn Beck Podcast. everywhere tomorrow. Okay, relief factor. So you're living with pain.
Starting point is 01:05:30 You know, you've got options. For example, you could just carry a brick around with you everywhere you go. Every time your back hurts or your knee hurts or your elbow or whatever it is is bothering you nonstop, you could just drop the brick, you know, on one of your toes or something that doesn't hurt, you know? Works like a charm because now you're thinking about your toe. Congratulations. Your back doesn't hurt as much anymore.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Well, at least you're not thinking about it. Or you could try relief factor instead. It's a daily supplement designed to help your body fight back against the root causes of pain. And that's inflammation. That's the biggest one. Now, this is not a drug that will mask the pain for a few hours. This is a real solution that works with your body to help reduce that inflammation and get your life back. And thousands of people who were in pain every single day have found their answer with Relief Factor.
Starting point is 01:06:17 You didn't carry the brick around if you want, or you could just give Relief Factor a try. I recommend the second. Give their three-week quick start to try right now, 1995. Relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, or 1-800, the number for relief. Relieffactor.com, 800 for relief. Okay, so Glenn was right, but you can also go to glenbeck.com for all your Glebeck needs. I didn't hear that. New stories you might have missed the content you're going to love.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Check out glenbeck.com today. Welcome to the Glennbeck program. Now, there is another side to this Epstein thing. some more information that Donald Trump is, again, doing exactly what is the right thing, I think. He is pushing for the release that court has to make the decision, but he is pushing for the release of all the documents from the court cases in the Epstein case, which is really a great move that helps people just understand what was in there, and it doesn't look like
Starting point is 01:07:36 you're hiding anything. It's up to the courts to do it, and I urge them and hope that they do. Just out of, just out of, you know, it's in the public's interest. It's in the national interest to put this behind us. But I think, Jason, you wanted to bring that, me to bring that up to show that, you know, maybe, maybe a slight possibility that I wasn't right on Wednesday. I'm just still trying to get my script read. That's setting. That's pretty much where it's at.
Starting point is 01:08:09 No, I think this is a very good move because I think this is what we need, it's what we want. It appears that the president wants this as well, it sounds like. And just releasing these grand jury transcripts would be huge because we know there's a lot of stuff that we know that the judges are keeping under lock and key. And, you know, there might not be a handwritten list out there, but it kind of sounds like. there was an unspoken list. There was definitely people there were involved. I mean, Dershowitz was basically kind of saying the same thing. Kind of said that. Yeah. Yeah. So. There's there's something else on this. I think, you know, what we heard today about the release of
Starting point is 01:08:52 the documents that are going after the grand conspiracy, which I think is absolutely brilliant. This is how you put the mob in jail. And honestly, that, I mean, that's what the deep state has become. It's a mob. They operate in the shadows. They deny that there is anything to the dead bodies that are just showing up in the bottom of the river with, you know, cement shoes. What? I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just, I'm just the businessman.
Starting point is 01:09:19 That's all I'm doing. That's exactly what is happening with Brennan. I don't know what you're talking about. I just, I just work in Intel. That's all I do. Uh-huh. And so to get the mob, you've had to be able to, go past the statute of limitations if you can tie conspiracies together.
Starting point is 01:09:40 This is a conspiracy to, you know, to traffic drugs or whatever it is. And you can tie all these things together because you're building a case. It's not just this one person. It's not just this one thing. It's all of these and they're all connected. That's what breaks down the statute of limitations. And they are going all the way back now. to Hillary Clinton and her emails.
Starting point is 01:10:07 And I think why Donald Trump was so angry and we're now seeing it. I mean, yesterday I said, yesterday I said, I think I have to say Donald Trump may be right on the tariffs because of the new information that is coming out. And I am, I don't believe in tariffs. I don't believe in that. I just, it doesn't make any sense to me. but the information that is coming out, and it's still too early, we need more months to see it, but so far everything he is saying that tariffs will do is happening. And now let's watch it.
Starting point is 01:10:51 That's why I said yesterday, I may have to apologize, and I'm glad I didn't have to apologize, because this is not a week that the president wants to hear from people like me, because when he said, you know, I don't want you as my supporters, he wasn't talking about you being stupid. He was talking about people like me being stupid. And at first, I was greatly offended by that. And then on Wednesday, when he started saying, you know, this is, this was written by Hillary Clinton and Comey and, uh, and Brennan, I started seeing it at a different way, which led me to, what was it again Wednesday? Oh yeah, be right, right Jason? Uh, and now that these things are coming out. I'm really seeing this is why he was so upset because the word is
Starting point is 01:11:41 that the stuff that has been declassified, it's already been declassified just hasn't been released because he didn't want it to be buried with all this Epstein stuff. So that's why he's been like, can you guys shut up about this? Because I'm going to do everything you're asking me to do. I'm going to start investigating and indicting people and arresting people. And I've got it all tied together in one big package if you guys would just pipe down for a minute. If this proves to actually come out and be what, you know, I don't want to be Charlie Brown with the, you know, Lucy holding the football. But if it turns out that that's actually what's going on,
Starting point is 01:12:28 I owe the president a huge apology. And I still think it was rolled out horribly and everything else, but, no, I can't say that. I was going to say, I should have trusted him more. No, no, we shouldn't. We should always be skeptical of our government. But I feel bad. I feel bad, actually, if these things turn out to be because it looks like we're about to get everything we've been begging him for on justice in a much bigger way than I thought was even possible. possible, which I guess should be the, which should be really the, you know, the, the, the slug line of, of Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:13:13 It shouldn't be make America great again. It just be, it should be, yeah, more than you thought was even possible. You know, Donald Trump. Uh-huh. More than you thought possible. Did you ever think that we would have, we would defund NPR and PBS? Did you ever think that we were actually going to cut the Department of Education by what, 40%? Some crazy number like that? And it's actually happening now? Did you ever think, did you ever think, I mean, little things like, and I know he had nothing to do with this, but that Coke would start putting sure. back into, you know, real cane sugar back into Coca-Cola instead of corn syrup?
Starting point is 01:14:03 I mean, I buy Mexican Coke and I hate it. I mean, I love it, but I hate the fact that, you know, can you just make Coke right the way everybody wants it, you know, with real sugar in it, please? All of these things that are happening that we never thought could happen are happening right now. and then again some things are not going everybody's way. For instance, if you're at a Coldplay concert, may I suggest you don't go, if you're a CEO, don't go with the HR director and make out. It might not work out well for you. I don't know if you saw this. The CEO of the tech company Astronomer, Andy Byron, was at the Coldplay concert.
Starting point is 01:14:54 and he's standing there with his co-worker and they're in a love embrace, just enjoying the concert. And then all of a sudden he comes up on the Jumbotron and they see themselves on the kiss cam. And all of a sudden, he just like, he melts. He just like, look at what? It just goes down on the ground. I would say he just drops to his knees, but that's probably a bad analogy in this one. He just drops to the ground and just disappears, you know? Like, oh, crap.
Starting point is 01:15:25 She stands there frozen, like, what is going on? He's married. He's married. And, you know, wife and children and at the Coldplay concert. Not a good day for him. I'm wondering what, what are you supposed to be waiting for him when he got home? Jason? Nothing good.
Starting point is 01:15:52 Let me tell you that. Nothing good. I can't imagine. You must have known, I was reading through some of the comments that, like, the internal text threads and stuff from the workers of his company. And it sounds like everyone knew about it. Oh, I haven't seen this. Yeah, they were like, it sounds like everyone pretty much knew it was going on. And they were like just pretty much elated that he was finally getting outed for doing this.
Starting point is 01:16:15 Pretty, pretty wild. Especially with the HR director. That HR director should not have a job as HR ever again. You know, that's the person who's like, no sexual harassment. You are the one caught with a CEO, you know, in a love embrace. Oh, that's good. That's really, that's going to look well on your. She's going to walk in with a resume and they're going to just look at it go,
Starting point is 01:16:44 oh, you were the one with, yeah, we've already filled the position. It's not good. It's just not good. Let's see. Is there something? Oh, yeah, I played this earlier, but I don't think it, I don't think it hurts to play it again because it was such an enormous announcement. Cut six.
Starting point is 01:17:05 Before we start the show, I want to let you know something that I found out just last night. Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending the late show in May. And, yeah, I share your feelings. It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of our show. but it's the end of the late show on CBS. I'm not being replaced. Oh.
Starting point is 01:17:33 This is all just going away. Right. Well, you got to be proud. You got to be proud. You know, when a company fires you from a job you were hired to do that just had a whole bunch of legends that came out of it, you know, and then they fire you. And then they're like, it got so bad under him.
Starting point is 01:17:55 We're just going to, we can't. And there's no way to revive the format. I mean, that's, again, good luck with that resume, Stephen Colbert. You know, I can't wait for that to happen finally with Jimmy Kimmel. When is that going to happen with Jimmy Kimmel? Yeah. These guys that just took, it just took the joy out of every bit of laughter for so long. Things are changing.
Starting point is 01:18:22 Glenn, when I was a kid, like junior high high school, we all would watch Letterman and Leno. They were pretty much the only two. But everyone would watch them all the time, including Saturday Night Live. We would all watch it, and everyone would talk about it the next day at school. No one does that anymore because it sucks. No one does.
Starting point is 01:18:41 And it's sad, especially with Saturday Night Live. God, so sad. No, there's, I mean, and Saturday Night Live is one of the last communal things we have. You know what I mean? It's one of the last communal. It's on Saturday. You watch it on Saturday,
Starting point is 01:18:56 and everybody talks about it on Monday or you watch the clips. It's the last thing that we have where everybody's kind of watching it in real time or very close to real time and you can talk about it. And it's just, it's horrendous what they have done.
Starting point is 01:19:12 And, you know, this, again, is yet another sign of how the culture is changing, how we are winning. These guys, you know, Stephen Colbert, they didn't just let him go because, you know, his ratings sucked. It's not just the ratings.
Starting point is 01:19:30 He can't get a sponsor. He can't. Nobody wants to sponsor that program anymore. Ratings suck. And even the woke Pfizer people are like, you know what? This is kind of going to turn ugly. We should probably distance ourselves from Stephen Colbert. It's pretty intense.
Starting point is 01:19:53 I just saw something, what was it, a movie I was flipping by. I saw a trailer for it. It came out in 2020, and it was talking about the Me Too movement, and it just had references and kind of jokes about, hey, you can't say that, me too. But it was seriously, I mean, it was, it was joking, but it was seriously saying,
Starting point is 01:20:20 you can't say those things anymore. You can't do those things anymore. And I thought, oh my gosh, this is, going to age so poorly. All of these things are going to age so horribly in the next three years. In the next three years, all of that stuff is going to look like ancient history. And I thought I'd bring that up because it's Friday. And I don't know, makes me feel pretty damn good. All right.

You know, my kids watch Prager U videos all the time. He has really done, and his team have really done an amazing job.

Starting point is 01:28:05 Jason, you've had MRIs, right? Yes. Okay. And, you know, either like you have anything in your pockets, you know, do you're wearing button-up jeans, you know, and you know that it's a powerful, I got it, I got it, it's a powerful magnet. I don't know if this is what you thought, but a 61-year-old guy walked in, opened the door to an open MRI room where there was a session going on. He had a heavy metal necklace around his neck. And they described it as he was sucked into the machine. You open the door.
Starting point is 01:28:51 Your chain around your neck sucks you across the room into the machine. And he's in critical condition. Did you have any idea that's how? I mean, I would have taken the, you know, do you have a belt on a little more seriously? Holy cow. This is like if Magneto, like you open the door and Magneto is on the other side and does his little thing. I don't think. Wait, what?
Starting point is 01:29:18 I have questions, though, on this. This is like, how big was this chain? Was this like Flav a Flav and his like clock necklace? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It just said he has a heavy, he had a heavy metal necklace on, rushed to a hospital where he was listed in critical conditions. With unknown injuries.
Starting point is 01:29:42 What? What? I mean, it slammed him against the machine so hard. It, you know, it pulled him to a point to where it might have snapped his neck. What happened? Yeah. I want more on this story. I know.
Starting point is 01:29:57 And it says it's unclear how he got authorized. He did not have authorization. And it's unclear how he gained access. Poor dude was just looking for the bathroom. Open the wrong door and get sucked him by Magneto. Well, don't they, this story's getting more and more bizarre as you tell it. Aren't there usually locks on those doors? I mean, if they're not, there should be.
Starting point is 01:30:20 If that's the way it is and grandma could be with her walker and she opens the door, you know, and she impaled the person who was sitting there in front of the MRI machine with her walker. I mean, that's pretty serious. Yeah, that's it. It's got, they have to have locks on those doors. They do. I mean, the picture on the New York Post article where I'm reading this from shows a door. I don't know if it's the door, but it shows like one of those numbered locks.
Starting point is 01:30:47 We have to punch in the code off of each little. Oh, yeah. That's what it shows. I guess it wasn't working or I don't know. I would investigate if there. Maybe he was a Trump supporter and there was some lefty there. It's like, hey, you want to do something fun. Punch these four numbers into that door right there.
Starting point is 01:31:06 Now there's also something else And I don't know how I feel Well I do know how I feel about this Paranormal investigator Dan Rivera Who has been touring the United States With a supposedly haunted raggedy and all named Annabelle Died unexpectedly at a hotel
Starting point is 01:31:27 Sparking a big reaction online Riviera 54 Who found dead in his room on Sunday At the end of a three three-day stop in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, as part of his Devils on the Run Tour with this doll. Members from the Gettysburg Police responded to a hotel in the township, Adams County, for a report of a deceased man in his hotel room found there by workers. Nothing unusual or suspicious was observed at the scene. The case is pending autopsy results, blah, blah, blah. The New
Starting point is 01:32:05 England Society for Psychic Research described this particular doll as demonically possessed. It was given to a nursing student in 1968. She claimed that there were occurrences with the doll and they were introduced to a medium who told them the doll was inhabited by a spirit of an young girl named Annabelle. Two roommates tried to accept the doll's spirit and please it only to have it reciprocate with maliciousness and violent intent. I'd like a little more, like a little more description other than reciprocate with maliciousness.
Starting point is 01:32:47 I mean, you know, if we're talking about a possessed doll, did it drag you across the room and slam you into an MRI machine? I mean, I'd like a little more than, you know, it was malicious. How was it malicious? Society's late founders, Ed and Lorraine Warren, kept the doll stored in a glass case in an effort to contain the evil kept in a glass case in an effort to contain the evil-spirited entity. Now, I can't say I can quote the Bible,
Starting point is 01:33:26 but I don't remember any place in the Bible where Jesus was like, and if I could just trap the devil in a glass case, we'd be sad. I mean, do you know of anything, like properties of glass that could contain an evil spirit that I don't know of, Jason? I will say that everything involved with this doll is weird. I don't really trust everything that comes from the couple that, you know, the Warren couple. Ed and Lorraine Warren. Yeah, they were the Amityville horror people, right? Like, they were the ones that investigated that, a bunch of other things.
Starting point is 01:34:03 It's weird. But the Annabelle doll, I was just looking up some of the history. history on it. There was three main victims that claimed to first report this back what in the 70s. But then there was also a priest who is still unnamed who got into a near fatal car crash that was involved. Yeah. Wait, an unnamed priest who was in an almost fatal car crash? That doesn't happen. Okay. I hear your speculation. No, no. I mean, that's not. What is that? He saw the and then he had an almost fatal conga, you know, accident on the way home. Okay.
Starting point is 01:34:45 Okay. Okay, smarty pants. Well, okay, victim number five is, oh, crap. Unnamed motorcycle rider. Okay. I mean, it's like this guy. Paranormal investigator, Dan Riviera, who's been touring the United States was supposedly haunted raggedy hand doll named Adamel, died unexpectedly at a hotel.
Starting point is 01:35:07 Well, what does that mean? He's at a hotel. Of course his death was unexpected or he would have been at the hospital. You know what I mean? Yeah, all death is unexpected when you're not at the hospital. Yeah. So what is that? I mean, what does that mean?
Starting point is 01:35:24 He was 54 years old, found dead in his room on Sunday. Now, if he had little raggedy and handprints on his neck, then maybe I go there. But he, so that guy was, I'm sorry. He was respected in the paranormal investigations like community. So I saw a lot of people like a lot of outpouring, you know, just of love and respect from like people that were in that community. No, I don't mean to make fun of his death by any stretch. But I mean, look, I believe in evil. I believe, you know, I believe in possession.
Starting point is 01:35:55 I believe a lot of people in the country today are possessed. I mean, you see it. You see some of these crazy people and they have either gone absolutely gonzo, no. nuts or some of them are possessed. You look at some of the reactions from people, you know, you know, on the street and you just, you'll say something. I mean, I know you've seen these videos where somebody will bring up something about Donald Trump or they'll be, you know, you know, preaching the Bible and these people come out of the woodwork and they're like, like, wow, that seems like serious mental illness or possession. Yeah. And I think people are
Starting point is 01:36:34 possessed right now. I think we have a real problem with it. that and I think people are nuts. But I mean, why would you put this in a glass case and then tour it around? Right. Why? Why would you do that? If it's evil, wouldn't you want to? So when we first built our ranch, I went in and I tried to build it like my grandfather would.
Starting point is 01:36:59 My grandfather had no money. And so I built it the same way he would have. We went and we found old doors, you know, at an architectural, you know, a place where they just had old doors and windows and everything else. We bought everything there. And these doors were less than a hundred bucks, maybe 50 bucks. And we were putting them in. And there was one door that came in and the guys hung it before I got there. And it was this blue door.
Starting point is 01:37:30 and everybody who was involved with the rebuild, I don't know this sounds crazy, they were all like, when I got there, they're like, Glenn, there's a door that was delivered and none of us feel good about this door. And I'm like, this is a bizarre conversation. What's wrong with the door? And they're like, it just, I don't know, there's something about it.
Starting point is 01:37:55 And I said, let me see the door. And I went downstairs and immediately, it was like, like, I don't know. It was like a, from a murder house or so I don't know where this door came from, but it had such bad mojo on it. I said, immediately take it down. Let's take the screws out of the hinges right now and burn it in the backyard. We burned the door. So I believe in stuff like that. But I would have never went and said, you know what we need to do is put this door in a glass box and then take it around for tour on the country. It just doesn't sound like, it sounds like something might want you to do, you know?
Starting point is 01:38:32 Right. Yeah, I will say that I went to a private Christian university and we had, we had to go to a Bible class every single semester. And in one of the Bible classes, we had like a two to three week long conversation on objects like Ouija boards. It was the most bizarre. I don't know how we ended up going that way in the discussion, but we talked about it forever. And it was, the professor was talking about how that he believed that, you know, E, E, evil, dark, you know, dark spirits and the devil use even objects as conduits. So even if it's something ridiculous, like Ouija boards, they use them.
Starting point is 01:39:10 If enough people are talking about this Annabelle doll and believe that it could be evil, I absolutely believe that it could be used as a conduit. Absolutely. Oh, I believe that. I believe that. Here's what I, here's where I have a hard time with it. Why in God's green earth would you put it on top? Tour. I agree with that. Why wouldn't you destroy it? Hey, look at this. We just found something really super spooky and evil. And we're all against it. Pay five bucks to see it. We're going to put it on tour. Why? It just, it makes no sense to me. Makes no sense.
Starting point is 01:39:49 Yeah. Especially when, you know, there's a lot of stuff we have to put up with. A spooky raggedy and all is not something that we need to have in our life. Let's just cut out some of the easy. stuff, can we? All right, I want to tell you about Voice of America. You know, Voice of America, well, that's not a commercial. It's a tease for something I'm going to tell you about a story. Voice of America is
Starting point is 01:40:13 something that the government didn't we just defund that? Jason? VOA? I'm not sure. No, it's MPR and who was the other one? PBS. But I thought like last week or last couple of weeks, at least we talked about it.
Starting point is 01:40:30 I think they did something with Voice of America too, which is good because Voice of America has turned into a horrible thing. So an employee of Voice of America is about as smart as that Raggedy And all is and decided that he was going to, well, he was going to fix some problems. I'm going to tell you that story here coming up in just a second. First, our sponsor is Burn a Launcher. All right, so experts tell you, be aware of your surroundings. Great advice. But what they don't mention is that your surroundings don't always care, you know, that you're aware. Trouble always has a way of finding people, even the smart ones.
Starting point is 01:41:20 You know, the most dangerous place your wife can be, you know, for women. is at a gas station, at a gas pump. All by yourself, vulnerable, pumping gas. Dangerous, dangerous place for your loved ones. This is why I urge my wife to keep a Berna launcher in her car, in her glove box, or in her purse, or on her. Now, Berna is not a firearm. It's a non-lethal self-defense tool that uses pepper rounds, chemical irritants, and even kinetic impact projectiles to help you stop a threat at a safe distance without killing the person. It's legal in all 50 states, no permits, no background checks, and it works. I've seen the demonstrations. I've heard the stories. Burnah gives you a non-lethal option.
Starting point is 01:42:09 I hope you never need it. I hope my wife never needs it. I hope I never need it. But in it's 2 a.m., you hear a noise. You got seconds to make a decision. Grab your burner. Be aware of your surroundings and be ready, if your surroundings don't cooperate. It's Burnab, B-Y-R-N-A-D-com. Get yours today. Use a retail store locator to find the nearest location offering live demonstrations,
Starting point is 01:42:31 including select sportsmen's warehouse stores, Burna retail stores, and authorized premier dealers. That's Burnab-B-R-N-A-com. Go there now. Ten seconds, back to the show. I am telling you, people have gone nuts on the left.
Starting point is 01:43:01 Authorities now have arrested a former voice. Voice of America employee, apparently some serious charges coming his way, he decided that he was going to threaten a sitting congresswoman. It's Marjorie Taylor Green and her staff. And apparently he made multiple over the span of like 15 months. multiple phone calls to their offices saying, you know, I'm going to kill you, et cetera, et cetera, threatening to kill her and the staff and, you know, everybody else with firearms.
Starting point is 01:43:46 It took him a while to trace that, which I find interesting, but it took him a while to trace it, but it all went back to phone lines from Voice of America. and he had worked for years in the studios and control rooms. And he took his freedom of speech probably a little too far. He now faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison by trying to influence a federal official by threatening a family member and threatening to kidnap or injure, and he could face an additional five years for the harassment, you know, on the telecommunications.
Starting point is 01:44:33 So we'll see if he's convicted, we'll see. But, I mean, you have the USAID people, the people that were fired saying, literally coming out and saying to a press person, the president made a huge mistake because we know how to create revolutions. And now if he would have just tolerated us and left us alone, we would have. We wouldn't have to worry about regime. He wouldn't have to worry about regime change now in his own country from us. That's a direct threat. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:45:10 This guy. You have the people all over the country that are threatening ICE agents. You have the Democrats that are just putting up with it. You heard the story, what was it yesterday or the day before, about the guy who runs the, you know, what is it, like pop up crowds business where you hire him for like a crowd and he puts together a whole bunch of people to come and I guess march for you or do whatever you want. You want to talk about a grassroots organization. There it is. He was asked to bring 20, he was offered 20 million dollars to bring a whole bunch of crowds to a bunch of different things for
Starting point is 01:45:51 these lefties. And he said he wouldn't do it. His company wouldn't do it because, A, he didn't think it would be effective but B he said because I thought it was going to be tied to violence and I wanted to have nothing to do with it and yet these people are still walking the streets hopefully not for long this is glenn beck here's the thing about dogs they're never around long enough 10 maybe 15 years of you're lucky at least to me it never feels like enough but there's a way to help them feel better, stay stronger, live healthier.

Rough Green. dot com promo code back something groundbreaking is on the horizon and history will be viewed an entirely different way stay tuned at glenbeck.com welcome to the glenbeck program so elizabeth who does the makeup for the program it just came into the studio and she said you know when I was a kid I was you know we played with a Ouija board because you know I remember this as a kid too wasn't it isn't that like a Ouija board is like a Milton Bradley or something one of those big game companies, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:16 And it was marketed as just a toy. And everybody who, at least in my family, everybody who was religious at all was like, stay away from Ouija boards. And I believe, don't conjure anything. You can call this stuff on and, you know, don't conjure up anything. Stay away from that kind of stuff. But I mean, that's just the way I was raised. apparently Elizabeth was raised the same way.
Starting point is 01:48:45 You, I mean, you grew up in a, when your dad a pastor, Jason? Yeah, yeah, it was. Yeah, pretty sure. So he had to have been all over the Ouija board thing. Oh, not in our house, you know, not at all. And he actually went to the same school that I went to where I was telling you about that. We just got into that crazy, you know, like two to three week conversation just on Ouija boards and just the idea that evil can be channeled through any object.
Starting point is 01:49:12 And he had this insane story, and we've all got them pretty much. But here, this is your dad? No, no, this is for, so this is for my professor. A professor. And so we've all got these, you know, these stories. But coming from like an authority and, you know, theology in the Bible, I was like, okay, this is insane. He was talking about how they were doing it.
Starting point is 01:49:34 It was actually, I think they were doing it as almost like an experiment. I don't know. Or maybe they were just being stupid. But they were a- Yeah, I don't like experiment. said, hey, let's do an experiment with the devil. That doesn't go well, usually. It's really easy.
Starting point is 01:49:49 But it didn't go well for them either. So they were all in this apartment. They were messing around with this Ouija board. They said the phone kept ringing. One person would leave the board, go pick it up, no one would be there. Eventually, like the last two times the phone rang, all they heard was like a growling. And they were like, uh, okay, this is weird. They hung up the phone.
Starting point is 01:50:09 They kept screwing with it. then they heard a knock at the door one of the guys opened the door the guy and I kid you not he said that he levitated off the air and got pushed into the wall
Starting point is 01:50:22 and they all freaked out and got rid of the Ouija board but this is not someone that would like make that up and this is not something where you could like easily lie you know the big lie on these Ouija boards is like oh you're moving it you're moving it that's not someone moving the little piece on the board
Starting point is 01:50:38 that's the description of a serious demonic presence right there. I think that is absolutely. I mean, that is what we are experiencing in the country. It is. And, you know, one day you're playing with a Ouija board and the next day you're out buying raw milk in the black market. I was thinking of the same thing.
Starting point is 01:51:00 I don't want to make light of this because I actually do believe all this stuff. It starts with this raggedy end thing. I don't believe a Ouija board is a good thing. I don't put it in a glass box and take it on tour. I burn it. You know, if I got a raggedy in that is suspected of killing people, I don't take it on tour.
Starting point is 01:51:24 I burn it. I don't understand why you would, what the point is of even playing around with this stuff. Just get rid of it. Just get rid of it. Glenn, you're concerned about... Otherwise, you're going to be buying raw milk. Glass protects us from mosquitoes.
Starting point is 01:51:38 you think they can't protect us from evil demonic forces? I mean, come on. I know. I know they're very much alike. They're very much alike. Did you see the story about raw milk in the blaze today? This hit close to home. About how?
Starting point is 01:51:57 Why? Are you a raw milk drinker? Are you a raw milk drinker? Well, this is this story. One of those people? From the blade. Well, I'm typically not, but my wife is all into things like this. and this story on the blaze it said, you know, why buying raw milk feels like breaking the law.
Starting point is 01:52:15 Hold on, just to say, I just have to point out, this is how rebellious we really are. Jason just said, I'm not into the raw milk thing, but this is the kind of stuff my wife's into. Oh, okay. Whoa, you're living out on the edge, Jason. That's crazy. All right. So tell me about the black market raw. milk. This is a thing. It really does feel like you're breaking the law. And you're like, wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:52:41 I'm just buying milk. But I wasn't told this by my wife. She was like, she goes, hey, babe, do you, do you have your gun? And I'm like, well, yeah, I, you know, I always have my gun. She goes, well, make sure you bring it to one of our meetings today. And I'm like, what? I know, I'm like, what are you talking about? And she goes, well, you know, I heard from a friend from a friend from a friend. and, you know, I won't tell you that person's name, but we're going to go to a place that, you know, has raw milk. And I'm like, okay? Like, this is that big of a deal?
Starting point is 01:53:17 And she's like, yeah, I don't really know who they are, but just let's go and we'll figure it out. And I'm like, okay, whatever. So I'm like, I'm down for an adventure. We go to this, like, really shady neighborhood. Go to the neighborhood, walk up. Like, a wife or something first comes to the door and vets us for, like,
Starting point is 01:53:34 maybe 15 minutes, just talking to us about random junk, almost like if you're going to go fly on an L-L flight, you know what I mean? And they just like, see, you described this before. That's what it felt like. I was like, they're looking for inconsistencies here. This is crazy. So like, wait, wait, what are they, what are the questions they ask you? You know, like, if you get stopped, everyone's like, oh, you, you know, you came from here. Oh, okay, what were you doing over there?
Starting point is 01:53:59 Oh, okay. So, you know, you came down this street to get over? Yeah, yeah. Okay, do you always come down this street? You know every once in a while, you know, whatever. Things like that. Weird. I know.
Starting point is 01:54:09 This was like operation. Is this like in farmland? You said it was a sketchy neighborhood. Are they shady cows? Where, what do you mean? Where are you buying your milk? I know. So that, it gets even deeper than that.
Starting point is 01:54:23 So no, this was just like a way station. So like they have the farms somewhere else. But like this was in like, I'm dead serious. We go into this neighborhood. This is like, while after we get. vetted for 15 minutes, then it's like a look is like, you know, like a nod or something. Then this guy that clearly looks like a farmer comes walking around the corner. He's like, all right, you guys come back here.
Starting point is 01:54:45 We go to his backyard and then he's like, all right, do you want one gallon? You want two gallons? We're like, is there an extra charge? Like if we have more than two grams of cocaine that you get charged more? Is it weighed like that? Can I get a lifetime supply? I never want to come back here again. See, I know.
Starting point is 01:55:09 Stop. But no, it's like it absolutely felt like breaking the law. And then I was looking up the laws after the fact about you can do it in Texas. There's many states where it's so overregulated that it really is kind of like break. You definitely, raw milk, you can't even transport it across state lines. So it actually is kind of like drugs. or something like that. Unless,
Starting point is 01:55:34 unless you're a cow. And that's a very, that's where they get you every time. Every time. Unless you're a cow. I've been transporting raw milk in these cows back and forth across state lines for years. It's so unfair and they can't even help it.
Starting point is 01:55:50 Dang. But yeah, in Texas, you can get a permit for it. So you can get permitted to, I guess you have to be a farm. The farm can get a permit. Then they can sell you raw milk.
Starting point is 01:56:01 But it just seems so ridiculous. I mean, wait, wait, wait. So was this an underground raw milk place? Was this a place that didn't have the permit? And they're like, hey, I got some good milk over here. Was this a non-permitted place? This was totally underground. This was definitely not permitted.
Starting point is 01:56:21 No way. What is your wife? Where is your wife? What is happening? I know. How is your wife now gotten you involved in a raw milk, you know, uh,
Starting point is 01:56:35 cabal. Cabal. Yeah. I know. Well, they, they did invite us out to the farm after they got, kind of got to know us. And they're like,
Starting point is 01:56:42 you what? I think I should actually follow up on that now. This might be, this might be kind of interesting. Can I see your license for the raw milk? Because this is weird. I might. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:56:53 I mean, everything that I've heard about raw milk, I mean, have you had it yet? Have you, oh, yeah. been drinking it?
Starting point is 01:57:01 We've been drinking it, yeah. Is it good? Yeah, it's, there's definitely, it tastes a little bit sweeter, I think, in my opinion. And really the only difference is it hasn't been heated up to, you know, extreme temperatures, right, you know, for the whole process. But those worries are really for mass production. So if you're just, if it's a farm, you know, that's got a few cows. Well, come on.
Starting point is 01:57:24 Worry for mass production and unclean conditions. Right. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, you know, you want to make sure somebody's got at least a rag around, you know, to clean the others before, you know. Maybe it's just me, but I don't know. It's, it's, it's, I really want to try it. I've never had it.
Starting point is 01:57:47 I want to try it. Uh, it makes sense to me that we, I mean, we, we cook everything out of our food. We cook everything good out of our food. Yeah. Um, but it seems, it seems to make sense. Although drinking the milk of. another animal doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me. Wait, what?
Starting point is 01:58:09 It doesn't. I mean, we're the only ones that do it. We're the only ones that do it. You know, you don't see a koala bear coming up to a, I don't know, a bird and say, hey, vomit in my mouth, will you? I mean, they don't, we all kind of eat our own thing, you know what I mean? If koala bears, what other? If they ate cereal, they would definitely be drinking milk.
Starting point is 01:58:28 That's my theory. All right, you're right. It might be the cereal. That's why we're the superior animal. We made cereal. 100%. 100%. All right.
Starting point is 01:58:38 Back in just a minute. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's a real estate agents. I trust.com. This is my company. I started it years ago with my brother. You know, because neither of us knew anything about real estate agents. And we're both trying to sell our home, you know, over, you know, probably a two-year period.
Starting point is 01:58:58 We both put our homes up for sale. and we both had a hard time and we were complaining about real estate agents and then we realized we don't know anything at all about real estate agents. By chance, I started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country and
Starting point is 01:59:13 Robert, who has been a business partner of mine for a long time, started working with them as well and we started to get to know them and we started asking questions. So what makes you so good? You know, Wall Street Journal named you one of the 500 best in the country.
Starting point is 01:59:28 Why? What makes you so good? And we realize there's a pattern with these people. They know what they're doing. They have the best business practices. They know how to advertise. They know how to keep their website just churning lots of views. So you sell your house faster because their websites are just churning views all the time. There are people already looking for houses just like yours.
Starting point is 01:59:54 And they also have, you know, pretty strong ethics. So my brother and I, we went out. We started looking for more of these kinds of people. And believe me, we created a company that vets these guys six ways to Sunday. They're generally, I think all of them are big fans of the program. So you'll have a lot in common and you won't have to worry about the master bedroom and saying that out loud. It's real estate agents. I trust.com.
Starting point is 02:00:20 They're going to help you with everything. It's the biggest transaction in your life. Get somebody who's experienced, vetted, and has a proven track record. It's real estate agents.itrust.com. Real estate agents, I trust.com. You know, truth makes the left so mad. And right about now, they're all losing their minds. We must be doing something right.
Starting point is 02:00:45 Stick around. Beck will continue right after this. There's the devil wears product too in theaters. Merrill Street, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are back. In light of the recent scandal, I'm here to restore your credibility. I did not hire you, and all I need to do is find my time until you fail. On May 1st, icons.
Starting point is 02:01:13 I'm going to make something of this job. Rain. Be the bridges I burn. Night my way. Forever. I just love my job. Get tickets now. The devil wears prodot too.
Starting point is 02:01:24 Indeed is May 1st. Directed by David Frankel. So Zoran Mamdani is taken another level down to hell on his communism. there is a resurfaced video now. We don't know the date, but it wasn't a current video, of him talking about private property. Listen to this. This is the possible next mayor of New York City. Listen to this.
Starting point is 02:02:00 My platform is that every single person should have housing. And I think faced with these two options, the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused, right? for for what and if if there was any system that could guarantee each person housing whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it you know just a statewide housing guarantee it is preferable to what is going on right now and i think that people try and play like gotcha games about these kinds of things and it's like look i care more about whether somebody has a home than if you're a communist I mean, listen to him because this is a, this was recorded not yesterday. Some people, some people are saying, ah, he's just trying to, you know, play into this AOC thing. No, he's not. No, he's not.
Starting point is 02:02:57 He means this. He is a deeply considered, a deeply considered Marxist. He's a guy who has thought about this for a very long time. He believes these things. I mean, he has talked about how he's going to build public housing and take. private property away and start turning it into public housing. Okay, well, he's just said that recently and this shows that he's been committed to seizing private property for a long time. He's talking about taking and and having public grocery stores. Grocery stores have
Starting point is 02:03:33 a margin of anywhere between two and four percent. This is not the greedy grocery store magnets that you're worried about. I mean, there's not a little lot of money in the markup on a grocery store. If you start taking and and doing government grocery stores, first of all, how are you going to compete? You're going to save somebody 2%? That's not worth going to a government grocery store because you're going to, you're going to suck at it because you're going to make all the decisions and not let the market make the decision. So it's going to suck. And what? You're saving two or maybe 4%? Is that worth violating all of our principles for?
Starting point is 02:04:19 And now private property. Got to get rid of private property. This guy is clearly a communist. And why he is still polling is an indictment really on our educational system. It shows nobody knows what communism is. Nobody's been taught how dangerous it is, how dangerous Marx is. that it has led to over 150 million murders in the last 150 years. It's more deadly than I think all of the diseases put together in any given time.
Starting point is 02:04:59 I mean, it is a deadly ideology. And yet so many in our country are flirting with this. This is because education stinks on ice. that's why I'm dedicating the next portion of my life to education and you'll find out more about that and the torch as we get closer to its launch in January all right have a safe weekend may God save the republic this is Glenn Beck
