Speaker 1 America is getting back on track. Trump is in office.
Lots of businesses are seeing the writing on the wall and beginning to divest themselves of woke programs. Yet a lot of them are not.

Speaker 1 They're actually doubling doubling down on that. And staying on top of which companies you should and shouldn't invest in is actually a lot of work.
It's hard to know just who to invest in and

Speaker 1 who not to invest in.

Speaker 1 Fortunately, as an investor, you can influence company policies like DEI, CRT, and ESG by exercising shareholder proxy voting and reducing your investments in companies that just don't align with your values.

Speaker 1 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.
I've got a lot on the plate today. I want to explain what happened with the Supreme Court and tell you why I think it's wrong.
Also,

Speaker 1 in space, there was a press conference yesterday and something was revealed or confirmed on something that Elon Musk had said just last week that we need to begin there.

Speaker 1 And we'll do that in just a second. First, let me tell you about Lear Capital.

Speaker 1 When you're driving down the street, you ever look at the businesses on the side of you and think about the people inside?

Speaker 1 Just hardworking Americans trying to keep the lights on if you go inside any of those businesses you can see it on their faces or if you talk to them they'll tell you themselves the taller is getting squeezed in every direction and it is not easy to keep up much less set aside for retirement and help your kids in the future i hear this from people everywhere and they're like i don't know what to do Well, God willing, Trump's economic policies are the whirlwind change that we're going to need to see in this country to get back on track, but it's going to be hard and it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Speaker 1 You should be building a protective hedge around anything that you do have so you have something

Speaker 1 left if something goes

Speaker 1 really bad.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 you know, in looking at the news today, I am overwhelmed by

Speaker 1 the weight of abandonment that has been hanging over America for the

Speaker 1 last

Speaker 1 four years. And next hour, I'm going to talk to you about it.
It's been going on for a lot longer than that. And it's an end of an era.

Speaker 1 This is an end of an era and a beginning of a new one. And I'll explain.
But there is a shadow that was cast

Speaker 1 by Joe Biden that we all started to feel was inevitable.

Speaker 1 It was a presidency that turned its back on those it swore to protect. And the evidence is a little overwhelming, undeniable.

Speaker 1 Yesterday, one of the astronauts that has been marooned, think of that word, only used to hear that on Gilligans Island, they were

Speaker 1 marooned on the International Space Station. What he said yesterday, this astronaut, is basically this.
Joe Biden rejected Elon Musk's offer to bring him and his marooned astronauts home,

Speaker 1 not for strategy, not for principle,

Speaker 1 but for petty politics.

Speaker 1 Biden feared the optics, the chance that it might make Donald Trump look really, really good and him bad.

Speaker 1 So he didn't do it. So two Americans languished in orbit.

Speaker 1 Symbols of a nation that once reached for the

Speaker 1 stars, now just

Speaker 1 content to let them drift in space.

Speaker 1 It's obscene.

Speaker 1 But this, unfortunately, wasn't an isolated failure. Afghanistan comes to mind.
The withdrawal in 2021, how many thousands were left behind? You know, we're still in Afghanistan, Mercury 1.

Speaker 1 We are still, we're trying to get out of there, but there's like 100 people left. We're trying to get out that we promised we would.

Speaker 1 And because of the Taliban, because it's going to change now, but because of the State Department and Biden, we've never been able to get them out.

Speaker 1 We left interpreters, allies, families who risk risked everything to aid our troop, and yet we let the terrorists come across our border.

Speaker 1 The Biden administration,

Speaker 1 they abandoned people and left them to the mercy of the Taliban.

Speaker 1 We all felt it when that happened. That week was one of the darkest weeks in

Speaker 1 my history. of being an American, of living here and seeing it and going, that's not us.
It was the fall of Saigon in 1975.

Speaker 1 We airlifted people out that we could, and then we just left a whole bunch of people to go into either a re-education camp or face a death squad.

Speaker 1 You know who didn't forget the people? Biden forgot the people in Afghanistan. You know who didn't? You know who sent in the planes and brave men and women to go in behind enemy lines and rescue them?

Speaker 1 You did.

Speaker 1 Just as a single American, you did.

Speaker 1 History has taught the world over and over again the cost of deserting people.

Speaker 1 And yet Biden repeated it over and over again, ignoring the pleas of those who trusted us or who carried a blue passport.

Speaker 1 What about the Abbey Gate? Abbey Gate, 13 Americans, service members for America died in that suicide bombing during that same week we abandoned people. Biden never pursued the mastermind.

Speaker 1 He never even acknowledged the sacrifice in his public tallies of the war's toll.

Speaker 1 Their names faded into silenced, unavenged, unrecognized, unremembered by a White House too busy to scrambling around to save face.

Speaker 1 And the pattern repeats. After Hamas's October 7th attack on Israel, guess what? Americans were left stranded, scrambling for evacuation as the State Department faltered.
And yet who was there?

Speaker 1 You were.

Speaker 1 The tales from Mercury One of the people that went in to help save and rescue Americans

Speaker 1 is just phenomenal. You sent planes over to rescue the trapped.
In Haiti, under Biden, chaos erupted 2024. U.S.
citizens, thousands of them trapped. No real rescue mounted by the U.S.

Speaker 1 State Department or our government. Yet again,

Speaker 1 you sent in the planes.

Speaker 1 Let's look at the abandonment of

Speaker 1 East Palestine or Palestine. How do you say Palestine? I can't remember now.

Speaker 1 Anyway, in Ohio, you all, Palestine,

Speaker 1 you remember when the train...

Speaker 1 spewed all of that gas into the air, and yet Biden never came there. He never rallied his administration to cut through the red tape to stop the suffocation of that small town in Ohio.

Speaker 1 North Carolina drowned under Hurricane Helene's wrath just last September.

Speaker 1 President said, we've done all we can, leaving communities and families and people, individuals trapped on mountaintops or to claw their way out of the mud.

Speaker 1 Yet again, you showed up to do the right thing, and you did it not for glory, not for fame, not for politics, not for headlines, but because it was the right thing to do, the American thing to do.

Speaker 1 These were not oversights. They were choices by this administration.
A consistent refusal to prioritize the vulnerable, the forgotten,

Speaker 1 the American.

Speaker 1 Things have changed. Have you noticed that?

Speaker 1 Now Donald Trump is in office.

Speaker 1 Some real big things have really changed.

Speaker 1 Take the Abbey Gate mastermind.

Speaker 1 Trump announced that he was captured and brought to U.S. soil two days ago.
Two days ago.

Speaker 1 National Security Advisor Mike Waltz revealed Trump's team went, got him, and extracted a confession before even landing in Dulles.

Speaker 1 Delivering accountability when Biden offered none. The Gold Star families, one of whom cried out in anguish during the 2024 State of the Union, remember, Biden had that guy removed.

Speaker 1 He had that guy removed who was just crying out and saying, justice, say my son's name. You cannot just say that nobody was killed.
13 of our children were killed.

Speaker 1 Well, this week they finally saw their pain recognized

Speaker 1 and their children and their deaths honored.

Speaker 1 Not with words, but with action.

Speaker 1 And then Trump did it again yesterday. I don't know if you saw this.
Yesterday, he made his position on the hostages in Israel super clear.

Speaker 1 Quote, not a single Hamas member will be safe until you release every hostage.

Speaker 1 Pretty clear.

Speaker 1 And yet, just in the first six weeks of this guy's term, Donald Trump personally secured 11 total confirmed hostages.

Speaker 1 These were poor Americans being held in some of the most, just most hostile, nasty areas of the world. Gaza, Russia, Venezuela.

Speaker 1 And you know what? None of these were grand gestures for applause. None of them.

Speaker 1 They were just smart and decent moves to bring Americans home. What the hell is your passport or you being an American worth?

Speaker 1 If somebody can just scoop you up.

Speaker 1 Biden's tenure saw a thousand Afghans with special immigrant visas left behind.

Speaker 1 Per the State Department's estimate, alongside with hundreds of Americans unrescued from the conflict zones like Israel and Haiti, Trump's first term by comparison, he's freed over a dozen high-profile detainees, Americans like Joshua Holt from Venezuela, the pastor Andrew Brunson from Turkey the same year.

Speaker 1 Relentless negotiation, relentless pursuit of what is true and right.

Speaker 1 Where Biden just dithered and withered, Trump leaned in, often personally leaning in, like when he met with Kim Jong-un in 2018.

Speaker 1 You know, I don't know if you remember this, he secured the release of three American hostages from North Korea.

Speaker 1 It's the intent. It is the willingness to act.

Speaker 1 I'm a little soupy today because

Speaker 1 honor is coming back.

Speaker 1 And it's not about chest-thumping nationalism. This is about duty.
This is about a covenant between a government and its people that are rooted in ethics and responsibility.

Speaker 1 It's about a duty, a covenant between a government and its people.

Speaker 1 Franklin Roosevelt. When he launched the Doolittle raid in 1942, he knew that that covenant that we made.
He didn't abandon the downed pilots. He ordered rescue missions deep into enemy territory.

Speaker 1 When Jimmy Carter fumbled the Iran hostage crisis in 1980, he at least tried.

Speaker 1 It was flawed. Desert one was an abysmal failure, but Biden didn't even try.
He withdrew. He deflected.
He excused.

Speaker 1 His era was one of shame.

Speaker 1 Not just of what he did, but he shamed us for being somebody who believed in these ethics, in the American way, in the American responsibility.

Speaker 1 Shame.

Speaker 1 Not because America lacked the power or the willpower.

Speaker 1 He left us a legacy of shame because he lacked the will.

Speaker 1 We watched as our own were left to fend for themselves, as their lives were like bargaining chips that were just too costly to play. I can't play that.
I get bad headlines.

Speaker 1 Man, it feels good to be able to say that that era ends now.

Speaker 1 It's over.

Speaker 1 Trump's return signals a shift. And it's not blind jingoistic pride.

Speaker 1 It's a renewed clarity of purpose.

Speaker 1 The capture of the killer at Abbey Gate, it's not just a win for justice, it's a message to the world. We are not going to leave our citizens, our people, behind.

Speaker 1 And if you kill any of our people, we will hunt you down and justice will be served.

Speaker 1 The parents of those lost at Abbey Gate.

Speaker 1 Sorry, that one is very personal.

Speaker 1 The citizens

Speaker 1 that have been stranded in countries all over the world,

Speaker 1 the American towns and citizens that were ignored,

Speaker 1 you're not a footnote anymore.

Speaker 1 You're the priority.

Speaker 1 And it's not about one man's ego.

Speaker 1 This is about a people waking up, remembering that strength lies in protecting the least among us, not in PR stunts or political gamesmanship. None of that matters.

Speaker 1 And if you don't get it yet, let me just tell you, let me say the unspoken truth that so many haven't grasped yet. Biden's abandonment wasn't incompetence.
It was a world view.

Speaker 1 It was a belief that America's role was now to retreat, to manage decline.

Speaker 1 We didn't lead anymore. We didn't deserve to

Speaker 1 lead anymore.

Speaker 1 He saw our reach as an overextension, our rescues as a liability.

Speaker 1 Trump, no matter what you think of him, sees very differently.

Speaker 1 Every American left behind is a wound

Speaker 1 to our soul.

Speaker 1 It's a debt unpaid.

Speaker 1 That's why he pursued the mastermind. That's why he fought for the jailed.
That's why he's vowed to rebuild whatever was neglected. It's not about glory.
It's not about him. It's about honor.

Speaker 1 A concept that America under Biden and the last 20 years has just been left to atrophy.

Speaker 1 But let me tell you right now, the era of shame is over.

Speaker 1 We're recommitting to the hard work of being a nation that actually stands by its own. From the astronauts above to the families below, from Kabul to Ohio, a promise is being rewritten again.

Speaker 1 No American gets left behind.

Speaker 1 That's the America that I've always believed in. That's

Speaker 1 the America worth believing in.

Speaker 1 That's the America worth believing in.

Speaker 1 Again.

Speaker 1 It's not a myth.

Speaker 1 It's a renewed mission.

Speaker 1 Back in a minute.

Speaker 1 Let me talk to you about pain for a second.

Speaker 1 Maybe it's a stiff stiff back after a long day, a creaky knees from years of hard work or the ache that just won't quit after a hard workout.

Speaker 1 If you're one of the people who suffer from pain, it is really frustrating, really? Isn't it?

Speaker 1 Here's the good news. There is something that can help.

Speaker 1 And I know because I was going through terrible pain of my own on a daily basis for a long time, but the only thing that broke its back was Relief Factor. I take it every day.

Speaker 1 And over a million people have tried Relief Factor's quick start kit. 70% of them have gone on to order it again and again.

Speaker 1 10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the program. Stu Bergiere, our executive producer on the Olympic program.
How are you? Pretty well.

Speaker 1 A little emotional.

Speaker 1 You know what? Because I used to be afraid of my country. I'm proud of my country again.

Speaker 1 That's good to hear. Yeah.
I will say, too, if there is anything to get emotional over,

Speaker 1 the Afghanistan story is

Speaker 1 still to this day

Speaker 1 one that

Speaker 1 requires, I think, that type of treatment. It's unbelievable that that was not even more of a factor during the election.

Speaker 1 How anyone involved in that White House and those decisions could have possibly been considered to be president again.

Speaker 1 It's just

Speaker 1 incomprehensible. Yeah, it is.
It is. But you know what's so great is is it's over.
It's over.

Speaker 1 I wrote some notes early this morning

Speaker 1 for my message, the top of next hour. And

Speaker 1 I'm going to have a hard time getting through that one because

Speaker 1 it's why things have changed. It really hit me

Speaker 1 yesterday.

Speaker 1 I spent the day, I was in

Speaker 1 Fort Worth, and they're driving the cattle down the street. And I'm with Kid Rock yesterday.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 we were just talking about,

Speaker 1 you know, what's happening in America.

Speaker 1 And it just clarified in my mind where we are and what actually changed. The things that you're seeing that are becoming popular now in

Speaker 1 trends.

Speaker 1 It is sending us a message. What you are leaning into just on stupid trends that have nothing to do, you think, with politics has everything to do with it.
And it is a very good sign.

Speaker 1 I'll talk to you about that in about a half hour. I'm going to dive into the Supreme Court decision on restoring USA funding, which is absolutely insane.

Speaker 1 But the Supreme Court has spoken.

Speaker 1 We'll talk about that next.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck. So you're at a stoplight and traffic.
Cars to the right and left of you, cars in front of you, the rear view mirror. You can see the guy in the car behind you.

Speaker 1 He is unhinged. He's lost his mind.
He's leaning on the horn. His face is red.

Speaker 1 You don't doubt really what he's screaming.

Speaker 1 He's not screaming a prayer for world peace. And then he gets out of his car, baseball bat in hand, and he starts walking your way.
What do you do?

Speaker 1 Well, you don't get out of your car. You know, I might roll down the window a little bit, and I would grab my Burna launcher.
That's what would happen.

Speaker 1 Your hand will just slide into the Burna launcher. No permit, no red tape, just non-lethal man-stopping power.
You roll your window down, you fire, and guess what? He's dropped the baseball bat.

Speaker 1 He's regretting the loss of both of his temper and for a little while, his eyesight. Tear gas really isn't fun, it turns out.
That is the power of the Burna launcher.

Speaker 1 All right, I want to dive into the Supreme Court decision on restoring USA funding. I think this is grotesque, but it's a conversation that we need to have.

Speaker 1 And it doesn't end with, we're not going to listen to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 1 It leads right to, please, Donald Trump, make sure you're finding a Scalia as our next Supreme Court justice if you get to a point one.

Speaker 1 The question is, who really holds the reins of our government? Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruling came out, and they really didn't, because it was a quick turnaround, it's not a full

Speaker 1 reading of what everybody was saying. And I want to know exactly how they made this decision.
But we saw Justice Amy Coney Barrett side with John Roberts and the court's liberal

Speaker 1 wing. What a surprise there.
And it was against the Trump's administration to push to freeze $2 billion.

Speaker 1 $2 billion.

Speaker 1 You and everyone you know, maybe everyone you've ever met,

Speaker 1 everybody who lives in the same town with you, will never pay $2 billion in income tax. So $2 billion in foreign aid.

Speaker 1 And the dissent came from conservative justices like Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh.

Speaker 1 Now,

Speaker 1 this was, I mean, Scalia talked a lot about this. And

Speaker 1 let me break it down in this way. The federal government is like a giant kitchen.

Speaker 1 Congress is the head chef. Okay.

Speaker 1 They write the recipes and then order all of the raw ingredients, laws, and the budgets. Got it? The president is the kitchen and manager of the chef and all of the kitchen.

Speaker 1 He decides how do we execute this? How do we do this?

Speaker 1 And the Supreme Court is really the food inspector who's called in when there's, you know, worry about food poisoning, you know, botulism, something really bad that the restaurant was never supposed to put out.

Speaker 1 That's what it's supposed to be.

Speaker 1 In this case, President Trump, on his first day back in office, he signed an executive order to freeze $2 billion in USA funding. Okay.
Why?

Speaker 1 Because he suspects deep corruption. So the money Congress had already earmarked for foreign aid, which is their job, it gets blown out of the water.

Speaker 1 Now, his team said, let's look for waste, fraud, and abuse. Now, that comes right from his campaign promises.
That's what he was elected to do. He was very clear about Doge.

Speaker 1 The nonprofit groups sued, and a lower court judge ordered the funds to be unblocked. And in the Supreme Court yesterday, 5-4 split, they upheld that order.
Now,

Speaker 1 what?

Speaker 1 The ruling said, basically, you can't just hit pause on Congress. Okay.
They've come up with a recipe. They've ordered all of the goods unless the law explicitly lets you the president.

Speaker 1 Now, I think it does, but

Speaker 1 really, so does Thomas and Alito and Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. They said, he's the administrator.

Speaker 1 He's the one. He's the one to say, no, no, no, no, wait.
I think there may be some sort of botulism in some of these ingredients. I'm not putting them into the food.

Speaker 1 The administrator, does he have leeway to manage the funds and root out corruption? Especially since the executive branch is tasked with, quote,

Speaker 1 faithfully executing the laws, faithfully executing the laws.

Speaker 1 Amy Coney Barrett, Trump appointee from last time,

Speaker 1 surprised a lot of people, me not so much. She didn't write a separate opinion here, but her vote suggests a real narrow view of executive power

Speaker 1 that I don't think the founders ever really saw this as.

Speaker 1 Scalia, were he alive, might have dissented

Speaker 1 and gone the way of Alito and Gorsuch because he always railed against judicial overreach.

Speaker 1 There was a court case back in the 80s, Morrison versus Olson. He warned, letting courts micromanage executive discretion, I'm quoting, enfeebles the president's constitutional role.

Speaker 1 What does that mean?

Speaker 1 The president oversees his domain. Congress oversees their domain.
And there can't be any judicial meddling in this unless the Constitution or Congress clearly says so.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Congress allocated the funds. And no law gave Trump the unilateral freeze button.
That's what she said.

Speaker 1 Here's the problem. Here's how I think of it and how I think you should think of it.

Speaker 1 Think of your family. You're running a family budget.
You and your spouse, that's Congress, agree to spend $500 at a kid's summer camp, okay?

Speaker 1 But you and your wife, for some reason, are really busy. And so you hand the $500 over to your brother, the president.
And you're like, I want you to pay the camp director and send him to summer camp.

Speaker 1 And then you're out.

Speaker 1 And then you find out that the brother is holding on to that $500.

Speaker 1 Of course, you're like, wait a minute, I gave you the $500 to send our kid to summer camp. And your brother says, wait a minute, the camp is way overcharging.
Or worse, it's a scam.

Speaker 1 Or even worse, they actually stand against everything your family, you, your son, everything you tried to teach him, everything you want.

Speaker 1 I couldn't, in good conscience, give this $500 to them because it's corrupt.

Speaker 1 Are you cool

Speaker 1 or are you mad that your bra, I told you it had to be spent on this? Are you going, thank God, or do you say, you have no right to do that?

Speaker 1 I want my money going to that corrupt camp, even if they're abusing my child. Of course not.

Speaker 1 That's the oversight of the administrator.

Speaker 1 That's this case in a nutshell.

Speaker 1 That's what Trump is arguing and that's what Trump should be given.

Speaker 1 The problem is it's not a family of three or four or five. It's a family of 330 million people and the cash is yours.

Speaker 1 Do you want it to go to anti-American or changing mice,

Speaker 1 you know, one sex to the other? Do you want that?

Speaker 1 Because I, as a family member and 330 million people, I'm kind of pissed about that.

Speaker 1 Maybe you're not. I am.
Hey, that a little bit too, Glenn. At any point,

Speaker 1 the mom and dad can just send that money directly to the camp. Yes.

Speaker 1 All they have to do is instead of doing this BS thing they're doing, which is like, here's a big pile of money and we want generally this thing to happen, they can just write in the laws that they pass

Speaker 1 exactly where the money needs to go and when it needs to go there.

Speaker 1 That is complete. They have the power.
The Congress has all of this ability. As according to the Constitution.
But the progressives, the progressives have changed all of that.

Speaker 1 They passed in 1946 the Administrative Procedure Act. I don't know what that is.
You ever heard of that? Really super important.

Speaker 1 It creates a fourth branch of government that's neither executive or legislative. It's just kind of out there in limbo.
Why?

Speaker 1 Because it dilutes the power of the president and it takes Congress out of the hot seat. They don't want to be blamed by you for something.

Speaker 1 Is anyone taking responsibility for the cash that we know is being funneled into,

Speaker 1 you know, nefarious purposes? Nobody in Congress is being held responsible for it. Why? Because they did exactly what Stu said.

Speaker 1 We're just giving it to that agency. I don't have anything to say about the agency.
I said we should send it over there because I thought they were doing this.

Speaker 1 And then, if the president doesn't have the power to say, wait a minute, you're not spending that money,

Speaker 1 then you can't even blame him.

Speaker 1 Who do you blame? Who's responsible for earmarking that money to go to those specific groups?

Speaker 1 Somebody you've never met, somebody whose name you've never seen, somebody who will never go to jail or be held responsible, even if they're funneling it to nefarious camps.

Speaker 1 That's what this is really all about.

Speaker 1 And when the people truly understand that

Speaker 1 and realize there is no check on the judicial branch, the

Speaker 1 judicial branch is supposed to just make the decisions.

Speaker 1 No, that's not in the Constitution.

Speaker 1 But instead,

Speaker 1 We've changed all of these things through law that are those laws are unconstitutional because they they destroy the checks and balances of the three branches but what are we gonna do we're gonna be like the Democrats just do it anyway nope

Speaker 1 we say to the president of the United States right now

Speaker 1 you let the DOJ if they force you to spend this money you sick the DOJ on them and you track every dollar you find anyone who is wasting our money anybody who is doing anything nefarious, and you march them out in an orange jumpsuit in shackles and you throw their ass in jail.

Speaker 1 And then you wait for one of these people

Speaker 1 in the Supreme Court to die of natural causes. Do you hear that, lefties? To die of natural causes.

Speaker 1 And then you find the biggest

Speaker 1 constitutional pit bull and you put them on the court.

Speaker 1 That's the way Americans handle it. Back in just a second.

Speaker 1 All right, Patriot Mobile. When does the left begin to get it?

Speaker 1 I don't think they are, and I don't think we tell them.

Speaker 1 Okay, the radical stuff,

Speaker 1 that's not an occasional bug in their system. That is the feature.

Speaker 1 They will find out when things finally hit their wallets, and Patriot Mobile is...

Speaker 1 able to hit them in the wallet when you make the decision. They are on the same cell services.
They have the same same coverage because they're on the same towers as all the big mobile companies.

Speaker 1 You ever seen a liberal's hands? Smoother than a snake on oil. Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word female than the word work.

Speaker 1 Glenn Beck will be right back.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 Donald Trump is expected today to issue another executive order aimed at abolishing, that's going to make you sad, the Department of Education.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Now, unfortunately, in this particular case,

Speaker 1 you can't just do that. Well, the executive order is...
It's worded well. Yes.
It's worded very much acknowledging

Speaker 1 that accuracy. Quote, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Education Department based on the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So he's saying, look, Congress established this thing. It was an executive order on a Jimmy Carter.
And then Congress went and said, no, we really like that.

Speaker 1 And so they codified it so nobody could do what he would like to do. That's fine.
So now we have to work within the framework of law. But that's what this says.
Yes.

Speaker 1 I want you to shut this thing down as tight as you possibly can according to law and that it's appropriate. What did they codify?

Speaker 1 Was it in the 90s? Wasn't it like late? It was much later than I remember thinking. I remember.
Yeah, I have to look that up. But

Speaker 1 because I mean,

Speaker 1 Reagan

Speaker 1 could have

Speaker 1 did it that way. And he was

Speaker 1 a strong opponent and ran on it. And I don't know if he just felt like, you know, who knows? I'd have to go back and and revisit that theory.

Speaker 1 This president,

Speaker 1 every president has been

Speaker 1 taught to pick your battles. Yeah.
Don't do all of them. That's true.
Trump is like, I want all the battles.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He's like, he doesn't care.
He does not care. He's just taking all of the battles on, which I love.
And, you know, I don't know. I don't know.
You know, you know Trump better than I do.

Speaker 1 I mean, you know, you've obviously spent a decent amount of time with a guy over the years. But like,

Speaker 1 is his theory here, is he the type of thinker where he's saying, you know what?

Speaker 1 It's a different era

Speaker 1 and people don't remember a lot of stuff. And some of the stuff probably will be unpopular.
And I think it's important. I'm going to do it anyway.
And by the time it's

Speaker 1 accountability is there, where like voters are voting, they're going to be on 25 different things by then. Let's get it all done right now.
Is that part of his thinking?

Speaker 1 I think maybe part of his thinking, I think,

Speaker 1 I think that part of his thinking also is if I move fast enough.

Speaker 1 See, like him cutting all of this, all of these things from USA and D. And

Speaker 1 I mean, it's the reason why he did that big monologue in the middle of his speech the other day:

Speaker 1 this, we're doing this with your money, we're doing this with your money, we're doing this. And notice it was a funny part, so it was entertaining, it was something that would connect with everybody.

Speaker 1 That's to just keep hammering home, your money is being wasted

Speaker 1 in just ridiculous and

Speaker 1 unethical and maybe even illegal ways. When he gets to the place to where he goes after and finds out what Stacey Abrams was doing with that $2 billion

Speaker 1 and he starts putting people in orange jumpsuits, That's when it's going to solidify and everything will start to come down. He's just building, he's moving forward.

Speaker 1 Everybody's kept busy on so many fires and he's building a case for the big ones every single day. Yeah, he's, I think he's broken this up into phases.
You're only seeing phase one.

Speaker 1 When he hits phase two, this is a guess. This a guess.
When he hits phase two of this,

Speaker 1 I think it's going to be breathtaking. I think it's going to be breathtaking.
This is, what's this is the sleepy time?

Speaker 1 You know, he's got 100 days. He's 40 into it.

Speaker 1 And he's not going to slow down. He's going to get faster.

Speaker 1 It's a thing to behold. And today we'll see what his executive order says, assuming he signs it today,

Speaker 1 but shutting down the Department of Education in every possible legal way.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck. Let me talk to you about Oracle.
Listen, even if you think it's all just a bit overhyped, AI is suddenly everywhere from self-driving cars to molecular medicine to business

Speaker 1 efficiency. It's not hype

Speaker 1 and it is real and it is here. If it's not in your industry yet, it is coming fast.
But AI needs a lot of speed and power. So how do you compete without the cost spiraling out of control?

Speaker 1 It is time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or OCI.

Speaker 1 the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 1 Something has changed in America. For the better, I think.
We all feel it, whether we know it or even like it. I think all of us feel it.

Speaker 1 And Trump and the last election were symptoms of something, not the reason they were symptoms of what?

Speaker 1 I want to explain, coming up in just a second.

Speaker 1 Let me first tell you about Simply Safe, the thief has picked your home. Bummer, no cars in the driveway, looks pretty easy.

Speaker 1 There is no safe like SimplySafe.

Speaker 1 Yesterday was just a different day for me. My eyes opened up to some things, and I don't know.

Speaker 1 I don't know exactly why, but some things really came clear to me yesterday.

Speaker 1 And that is what we're waking up to.

Speaker 1 Trump and the last election are symptoms. We think that that is what's driving, but it's not.
It's not the reason. It's a symptom.

Speaker 1 And it's all wrapped up in the collective denial of what is true and real.

Speaker 1 So let me...

Speaker 1 What is true and real?

Speaker 1 Have you noticed that the cowboy, the rugged West, is making a comeback?

Speaker 1 You see it in television. You see it everywhere.
It's making a comeback all of a sudden. Why?

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 it's coming at the same time our politics are changing.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 which is the chicken and which is the egg?

Speaker 1 The cowboy, this rugged West,

Speaker 1 Yellowstone, the TV Yellowstone, or Taylor Sheraton and all of his mini 800 shows that seem to be on television, that's not what brought the cowboy back.

Speaker 1 It's not Kevin Costner on TV grumbling about the land and the legacy. It's not it.
It's deeper than that.

Speaker 1 It's, in some ways, it's that jagged spine of the Grand Tetons.

Speaker 1 It's the open sweep of the grass that rolls out like God himself just unrolled it and was like, how far can that go?

Speaker 1 It is the untamed West.

Speaker 1 But it's not that because that's a postcard. That's on a TV screen.

Speaker 1 That's something that nobody in New York sees. That's something that people all over the country have never actually seen themselves.
But yet they have that thumping or humming in their chest.

Speaker 1 And it's something that has been in every American for a very long time. And it has been waiting for us to listen to it.

Speaker 1 You know, the press, mainstream media, they couldn't figure out Yellowstone at all.

Speaker 1 Crazy people,

Speaker 1 they just want that train station to actually exist. It wasn't the vigilante stuff that attracted us to Yellowstone.
The bodies dumped in the dark to settle scores or how Beth acted or what she said.

Speaker 1 Sure, that played a role. It was entertaining.
But that's not what we felt. That was the noise.
What got underneath our skin

Speaker 1 was that there was justice to it.

Speaker 1 Not vigilante, not perfect, not polished, but there was justice.

Speaker 1 A line. Somebody was drawing a line in the sand, a common sense line that said, you know what, some things matter too much to let slide.
And what were those things? They were heritage. It was family.

Speaker 1 It was a way of life that's worth planting your feet for.

Speaker 1 The whole show is about the Duttons losing the ranch. Or is it?

Speaker 1 Or is it about fighting for something that cannot be left behind? It shouldn't be left behind. Was it the Dutton Ranch or was it the American way?

Speaker 1 And not something on a bumper sticker or slogan, but a heartbeat, something that is deep in all of us. And we feel it.

Speaker 1 I don't care if you're kicking dust in Wyoming or you're kicking a coffee cup in the streets of New York. It's there.
And it's not the hat. It's not the spurs.

Speaker 1 Those represent this, I guess, because it's the cowboy. And what does the cowboy represent? A handshake that means something.

Speaker 1 A promise you don't break because your word is the only thing you own.

Speaker 1 It's taking your hat off for a woman. It's saying, yes, ma'am.
No, sir.

Speaker 1 Because respect isn't optional.

Speaker 1 It's standing up and not just for yourself, but for your family, for your land, your way of life, the things that are worth defending, the things that you have been told for the last 20 years, sit down, shut up, you should be ashamed of that.

Speaker 1 It's righting wrongs when the law is too slow or too blind to see what's what. Afghanistan withdrawal comes to mind.

Speaker 1 It's a fierce independence, the kind that says, you know what? I don't have anything against you, but I'm going my own way. I'm going to chart my own path.

Speaker 1 I'm going to do what others swear that just can't be done. I'm sorry, you think it's too tough? I don't think so.
Nothing's too big. Not as long as you have faith in God

Speaker 1 and the grit of an American, then nothing's too big.

Speaker 1 That's what the cowboy represents.

Speaker 1 But it's more than just him.

Speaker 1 I don't know how to describe it. It's us.
It's in all of us.

Speaker 1 It's who this land shaped us to be.

Speaker 1 Whether you, I mean, I'm not somebody that would have crossed the Rockies in a creaking wagon. I would have stopped way before that.
You know, snow biting at my hands, you know. Uh-uh.

Speaker 1 Strangely, I am kind of the guy that wouldn't mind being strapped to a rocket and shot up just to stab this red planet of red dust million miles away or however far it is with a flag and not because the flag.

Speaker 1 Why do these explorers do what they do?

Speaker 1 They don't do it for God or country. That's what the left would tell you.
It's jingoism. It's not.
They don't do it for God and country. They do it because of God and country.

Speaker 1 Because of what God and this country made us.

Speaker 1 It's simply who we are. It's why the rest of the world never understands us.

Speaker 1 And yet, when we live up to those ideals, when we live up to what this land and God created with us, when we live up to who we really are, the world loves us.

Speaker 1 It's what this land does to you.

Speaker 1 The mountains,

Speaker 1 the plains.

Speaker 1 The rivers that cut through stone, they're not just pretty.

Speaker 1 I don't know about you, but they call to me.

Speaker 1 They call to all of us.

Speaker 1 They make you. And when you answer, it's not about proving something to anybody else.
It's about proving it to yourself because that's what the soul of this country is asking for. Who are you?

Speaker 1 Who can you be?

Speaker 1 No other country, no other people can feel it like we do because this is our DNA.

Speaker 1 That's why I go to the mountains every chance I can get. I love my ranch.

Speaker 1 Not to escape, but to remember to breathe the air that is sharp and clean, cold in the morning, hot during the day, to hear the wind, whip the flag.

Speaker 1 Yellowstone was not big on TV because it was a show.

Speaker 1 It was big because it's a mirror.

Speaker 1 It is a funhouse mirror. And everybody else looked at the funhouse part.

Speaker 1 What we, it's all about what we've been missing. It's what it was showing us.

Speaker 1 That's what we felt, what we let slip through our fingers because we were too busy chasing other things or listening to other people convince us of lies. And now...

Speaker 1 Look around last six weeks.

Speaker 1 What is America doing?

Speaker 1 We're putting our boots back on.

Speaker 1 We're wrapping ourselves in denim that's not afraid to touch grass. In fact, it's required to touch grass.
And not because it's trendy, but because it's true.

Speaker 1 It's who we are deep down. I don't care if you've ever roped cattle.
You should see me with my cows. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Speaker 1 Doesn't matter. You could be punching a clock in Cincinnati.
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 But the land,

Speaker 1 our way of life, our DNA is calling us back. And thank God

Speaker 1 we're listening.

Speaker 1 It is morning in America again.

Speaker 1 And it comes again under the brim of a cowboy hat. But the guy who's

Speaker 1 this the one who seems to be doing it all,

Speaker 1 he would look ridiculous in a cowboy hat. Maybe as ridiculous as I look in a cowboy hat.

Speaker 1 He's a big city real estate broker from New York City that likely has never gone anywhere on horseback or climbed a mountain.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 the spirit lives in this guy. His whole life is about doing something no one thought could be done.
He didn't climb mountains or conquer the West in the traditional way.

Speaker 1 Instead, out of concrete and steel, he built mountains that tear at that American sky. He conquered what we all thought was you can't conquer that mainstream media.

Speaker 1 He broke the back of that horse and he is riding it, sitting tall in his saddle. And he's also making it very clear to all the outlaws of the world.

Speaker 1 And I can guarantee you'll go, yes, sir, when you hear this. He's making it very clear, this man from New York City, there is a new sheriff in town.

Speaker 1 The Spirit of the West.

Speaker 1 All humans feel this

Speaker 1 call to the ocean. I don't know what it is, but we all do.
For Americans,

Speaker 1 it's the same kind of call, but something different. The West isn't a place, it's a feeling.
It's a pull.

Speaker 1 It's a

Speaker 1 strange shadow of a horse and a rider against a sunset that bleeds red and gold. It's the creak of leather, the weight of a rifle in your hands when the world turns mean.

Speaker 1 It's the quiet of a night so quiet you can hear your own thoughts. It's the roar of a river that reminds you some things just can't be tamed, not by man, not by time.

Speaker 1 And that is what's roaring back.

Speaker 1 It's the spirit

Speaker 1 that put us here in the first place. The part of us that says I'll stand for what's right.
I'll fight for the little guy. I'm going to build something worth keeping.
And we do because we always have.

Speaker 1 From the first people that crossed the oceans to the ones who broke the trails through the mountains, no sane person would ever do that.

Speaker 1 The dreamers who looked up to the sky and said, I'll go to the moon. And it was never about glory.
It was about guts. Knowing about, knowing that there are some things that are just bigger than you.

Speaker 1 But you're big enough to meet them anyway.

Speaker 1 Yellowstone is, again, a mirror of us waking up. It was already there.
It was simmering. It's always there.

Speaker 1 The photos of the peaks and the plains and the horses, they're not just pictures. They are us.
It's the snap of the sound of that snap of a flag

Speaker 1 in the wind.

Speaker 1 It's the weight of a life lived on your terms, and it is not dead. It is not gone.
It is rising again.

Speaker 1 Because the truth is, it never really left us.

Speaker 1 You'll feel it wherever you are. You'll hear it in the stories we tell, the songs we sing, the way we look at the world and go,

Speaker 1 why can't people do it? We'll take it on.

Speaker 1 You're living in an American era again. We are truly going to see the rebirth of a nation.

Speaker 1 in the boardrooms or the ballots, but first and foremost in the dirt, in the sky, in the soul.

Speaker 1 it's about a cowboy, an American cowboy coming home.

Speaker 1 Not because he's lost,

Speaker 1 because finally,

Speaker 1 finally he remembered where he belongs.

Speaker 1 And we're all riding along with him,

Speaker 1 whether we know it or not.

Speaker 1 Because no matter what the popular culture tells us, this is really who we are. We are fierce.
We're honorable, we're free, we're unbroken.

Speaker 1 The sun just dipped down low and the shadows were stretching long. But thank God America heard it whispering again.
Come back.

Speaker 1 Come back home.

Speaker 1 I want to talk to you about Rough Greens. Your dog's kibble is a nutritional wasteland.
It's processed, it's overcooked, it's junk that is robbing your pet of the vitality that they need.

Speaker 1 They need to get it from their daily food. Switching dog foods can be really tricky.
Not to mention it can get super, super expensive if you're buying the higher-end dog foods to replace kibble.

Speaker 1 I want you to try something else with your dog. It's not a dog food.
It's something you sprinkle on. It's the Rough Greens package.

Dennis Black, and you just sprinkle it on the dog's food.

Speaker 1 I can't wait to tell you. Today, I think today is today, Thursday.
Yeah, today's Thursday,

Speaker 1 my podcast with Kid Rock comes out. And it was.
Did he beat you up? I was so uncomfortable. I've never been.
I don't know what it is. It's weird.

Speaker 1 You've interviewed a lot of big, actually cool celebrities over the years in your previous life.

Speaker 1 And I don't know what it is about Kid Rock that just made me feel like I was about to be beaten up in the back of the school because I'm not cool enough.

Speaker 1 Please tell me you did it. No, no, no.
But it was so weird. I was.

Speaker 1 I don't know if it will show on the podcast,

Speaker 1 but it was like,

Speaker 1 I struggled through that one.

Speaker 1 I really like him. What's his vibe? Is he

Speaker 1 totally different than

Speaker 1 no?

Speaker 1 Totally cool. Totally cool.
And just doesn't give.

Speaker 1 There's a, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He just doesn't care.

Speaker 1 And I think that's what makes him cool. He's like, I don't care.
I don't care. And he means it.
You know, there are people like, I don't care what they say, and they do. Yes, of course.

Speaker 1 He really doesn't. Yeah.
No, I get that. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. And he is.
But is he kid, like, is Kid Rock a like a, I don't know, a character? So I tried to get into that. Okay.

Speaker 1 I tried to get into that because yes and no. Okay.

Speaker 1 And I said to him, you know, and I know I don't feel comfortable repeating it because, I mean, people know it, but, you know, I called him by his real name.

Speaker 1 Kid Rock is, surprisingly, not his real name. That was not his given name.
Not his given name. Wow.
Yeah, not his given name. And I said to him, so once in a while, you'll let this guy come out.

Speaker 1 And he's like, yeah, I prefer not to talk about that. And I said, but which one is you?

Speaker 1 How do you separate? And which one is you? And he was like, they're both me. They're both me.
Kid Rock is a persona. And who I am every day is not that, but it is.
It's

Speaker 1 a part of him, essentially. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's not a complete fabrication. He's not playing a role.
Right. It's taking a part of him and amplifying it.
Turning himself way up to 11. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's fascinating. What he said, I mean,

Speaker 1 we got out of the podcast and Ricky, the TV executive producer, she came up and she's like,

Speaker 1 oh, that's going to be newsmaking. And I said, really? Yes, what I said, because I was just sweating ball.
I was just like, I couldn't even hear what he was saying.

Speaker 1 I'm just like, why am I interviewing him? I mean, he just, it's pathetic. I don't know.
It was so weird for me. I don't know why.
But Ricky came up and she's like, that was amazing.

Speaker 1 And Kid was still still sitting there. I went, really? And he took it.
See this again. I was about to get beat up because I went, really?

Speaker 1 And because I was judging me. Yes.
And she's like, yeah. And he's like, don't be so surprised, man.
I'm like, no, no, don't, please, don't beat me up. I didn't mean it that way.
Anyway,

Speaker 1 I'm such a loser at times.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 lots of times. Thank you.

Speaker 1 But he said some things that, oh, I think are going to be newsworthy. Oh, really? Oh,

Speaker 1 interesting. Oh, yeah.
Can we get topics or general areas? He's taking somebody to dinner at the White House.

Speaker 1 That if it happens, he said invites there. Trump has already said yes.
If it happens,

Speaker 1 oh, it's going to be interesting. Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 Tomorrow night, I'm going to be the keynote speaker at the Kids in Country Gala in Naples, Florida. And I invite you to come.
This is an opportunity for you to be

Speaker 1 a part of a real grassroots movement that is reshaping Florida's educational landscape.

Speaker 1 They're not just talking about it, they're doing it.

Speaker 1 They led a coalition of 17 different organizations and a legislative effort in Florida to protect our kids, or the kids in Florida at least, from obscene materials in school.

Speaker 1 Also made sure that parents had their oversight

Speaker 1 on what was being shoveled into the kids' heads, and they funded a launch of eight new micro schools that are empowering Florida families with real alternative educational options.

Speaker 1 Secure your tickets now. You just go to goflca.org.
I'll be there tomorrow night. Goflca.org and stand with those who are fighting for our country's future.
You can also call them at 239-250-3320.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Stu, there's a couple of things that make me happy and then make me angry. Let me start with one that makes me happy.
Apparently, Hunter Biden is now filing in court again, crying poor mouth.

Speaker 1 The filing doesn't make me happy, but him crying poor mouth does. Apparently, all his paintings burned down in the Palisades.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Of all the tragedies of the Palisades fires, that's the real one. I know.
And he's not seeing that. I'm not going to be able to, you know, make my child support, I guess.

Speaker 1 He's not going to be able to do anything. He can't find a house.

Speaker 1 And he has no place to live. That's sad.

Speaker 1 I don't understand

Speaker 1 Glenn.

Speaker 1 He's made a lot of money. His dad has made a lot of money.

Speaker 1 All the ways that he made the money, he's now been pardoned, pre-pardoned for all the potential criminal actions. But that shows you why he can't make any more money.

Speaker 1 Because if anything he does criminal, you can be charged with now. You know, I just feel like a savings plan should have been in order for Mr.
Crackhead. I feel like, you know, I think so.

Speaker 1 But, you know,

Speaker 1 artists, crackheads, aren't very good at saving money. They are always called starving artists.
But maybe, maybe somebody in this mysterious vaccine company

Speaker 1 that Biden gave $28 million to.

Speaker 1 Well, they had achieved a lot, this company, right? Really? Did they? Yeah. Because I can't find anything.
It was run by his COVID advisor.

Speaker 1 And of course, it was based out of a Maryland P.O. box.

Speaker 1 Well, that's where, and you don't, a lot of people don't know this. That's where most vaccine innovations occur.
Really? In P.O. boxes? Yeah, you have the BS1, BS2, BS3 level facilities, and then P.O.

Speaker 1 boxes. That's the highest level of social media.
High BS3? Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy.
That's crazy. So pretty.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of these, Glenn. No, there's no.
There's a lot of them. There's only, well, there's this one.
The vaccine one for $20 million. The vaccine million dollars, which is enough, right?

Speaker 1 I think that's a massive scandal.

Speaker 1 EPA also gave a social justice group $20 million to replace

Speaker 1 lead pipes and restore wetlands. Now, that's a great class.
Well,

Speaker 1 they don't have any experience of doing any of those things. That's not what they're a social justice group.
They're not like plumbers

Speaker 1 or people that know anything about wetlands. But social justice.
Social justice, they got $20 million.

Speaker 1 And of course, you know, Stacey Abrams. I mean, let's, I mean, who doesn't think she deserved $2 billion?

Speaker 1 I don't think there's a problem there. Well, they had raised previously $100.
Right. So they were showing growth.

Speaker 1 They went from zero to 100. Do you know what that looks like at that pace? Right.
You look at the chart, it goes zero, 100, 2 billion. Right.
I mean, that's growth. That is it.
It's real, real growth.

Speaker 1 I think she's going to go to jail.

Speaker 1 Hmm.

Speaker 1 I don't. Do we have the conservative point?

Speaker 1 I'm not. Do not put poor music on when he's talking about Stacey Abrams.
Do not put music on. You know what? I take it back.
He's right. Thank you.
He's right. First time today.

Speaker 1 I don't know if she's going to jail.

Speaker 1 Again, my guess is they did this

Speaker 1 illegally. This is the problem with our system.
You funneled $2 billion to Stacey Abrams, and you think

Speaker 1 that that can be proven to be legitimate? Legitimate is a totally different word than the word I used.

Speaker 1 I used the word legal.

Speaker 1 And my guess is, and this is a problem

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 the Trump administration should exploit to point out to people, this is in our system all the time.

Speaker 1 This is not just a, because I feel like when you go out and you go, oh, you charged Stacey Abrams, I think there's an example.

Speaker 1 I think Steve Dace was talking about this on our coverage, making an example out of somebody. And maybe that's a good motivation here because Abrams does seem to be in a lot of this stuff.

Speaker 1 I just don't know if she broke the law here, but an example maybe should be made. The problem with it is this is our system of government right now.
This is actually how this stuff works.

Speaker 1 Ever wonder how all of these leftist groups that are all Marxists, that hate money so much, they can all of a sudden afford like crazy, all this crazy stuff? Well, that's it. That's it.

Speaker 1 It's all been your tax dollars funneled to these organizations all over the world. Yeah, and this is how they extend

Speaker 1 their lives and power. Yes.
Because if you think about it this way, let's just take a really

Speaker 1 charitable view of this respect. Good word, charitable.
Because all of it seems to be

Speaker 1 happening in the charitable world. You know, I'm choosing my words carefully in this particular setting.

Speaker 1 Let's just say, okay, you are at the end of this administration. Stacey Abrams has done all sorts of stuff for you.
Let's just leave that stuff out there in this alleged category for now. Yeah.
Right?

Speaker 1 You have this funding. You can dump it to whoever because Congress has given you this money and with this big open checkbook of like essentially a slush fund to write this stuff out.
Yep.

Speaker 1 And you and you say that.

Speaker 1 Say, by the way, why the Supreme Court should not have done what they did yesterday and why the Supreme Court, we just need to pray that the next justice appointed to the Supreme Court is not like Amy Coney Barrett.

Speaker 1 Not constitutional enough. We need another Clarence Thomas or six,

Speaker 1 people who actually know what the Constitution means. Anyway, go ahead.
I would tend to agree with that. Yeah.
But so you,

Speaker 1 you know, you're

Speaker 1 Stacey Abrams, you're going to dump money towards

Speaker 1 an environmental one. I can't remember which one.
What was the $2 billion?

Speaker 1 Does it matter? Does it matter? That's a good question. Stacey Abrams probably says she's interested in the

Speaker 1 elections. Fairless of elections, whatever it is.

Speaker 1 You think it's a worthy cause. You have come up with a legal justification to give money to that cause.
Why not give it to some ally who can then say, I'll just go out and build this.

Speaker 1 You know, I'm good at this. I know everybody.
I'll be fine. And like, you know, they get this.
They fund their next 10 years of life. They also hire hundreds, thousands of people.

Speaker 1 Many of them are out of jobs because they just lost a campaign. So those people, that army that Biden and Kamala used to try to win that campaign, all those people are out of work.

Speaker 1 So this is where they go. until the next election.

Speaker 1 They go to organizations just like this so that they can keep the money going, they can keep getting paid, and they're available to come back to run in the next campaign.

Speaker 1 This is how this stuff works all the time. And it is a feature, not a bug to almost everybody in Washington.
And it doesn't just stop there. Your tax dollars also, remember, go to these universities.

Speaker 1 Any state university, all these universities, they're either getting money directly from your taxes or they're getting it in tax breaks. But that's another

Speaker 1 human launder system. They just take these people and launder them in through education.

Speaker 1 They come and they just, they go teach, and then they come back and they're here ready to campaign for the next person. I mean,

Speaker 1 it is really despicable and disgusting. Yeah.
And it's going to be really, I'm telling you right now,

Speaker 1 before AI goes bad and kills us all,

Speaker 1 it's going to get really amazing.

Speaker 1 There's something in the Bible about where all secrets will be shouted from the rooftops. We're about to see that.

Speaker 1 We're about to enter a time where you don't have any secrets, nor do they.

Speaker 1 Nobody's going to be able to keep secrets because you're going to be able to follow the money. You're going to be able to connect the dots.

Speaker 1 You know, that's the one thing that everybody's like, you're so good at connecting the dots. I never saw this and this relate.
Oh, you will. You will.
You'll find them. You won't need people like me.

Speaker 1 You'll find them.

Speaker 1 And they're all going to be exposed. And that's really why everybody's freaking out in Washington.
That's why they're acting like little children.

Speaker 1 They're just so freaked out. They don't know what to do.

Speaker 1 They've got to keep this going. They know they're in trouble because

Speaker 1 they've set up

Speaker 1 a secondary government. that just kept them in power all the time.

Speaker 1 And it's going to be exposed. And I hope.
I hope it is. It seems like we're at least learning about it.
Whether they can do anything to it, whether they're... If Pam Bondi does not investigate,

Speaker 1 or Cash Patel doesn't investigate, and then turn it over for prosecution if it rises to that level. Sure.

Speaker 1 And she doesn't go after these people with guns ablazing. And

Speaker 1 I know people on the left don't ever believe this when we say it, but I mean it. I don't care if it's the biggest person on the right.
If that person is guilty,

Speaker 1 go to jail.

Speaker 1 If they're guilty of breaking the law and abusing our money and our trust, they should go to jail.

Speaker 1 Period. I don't care who they are.
That will be the thing that will restore our country.

Speaker 1 Sarah, I just was talking about the cap.

Speaker 1 Why was

Speaker 1 Yellowstone so popular? Because there was justice.

Speaker 1 The rights, the wrongs were righted just in a very unethical way. But it was somebody standing up and saying, that can't be tolerated anymore.

Speaker 1 And for entertainment purposes, and we feel the same way, this happened in the 70s with the Godfather. Why did the mob thing become so big?

Speaker 1 Because there was an honor system to that.

Speaker 1 You don't do that. AN, touch my family.

Speaker 1 Okay? It put family first in a very distorted, horrible way, but it had its own code of ethics and honor.

Speaker 1 That's the same thing with the Dutton family. And there is no honor in any of this.
And so if Donald Trump can

Speaker 1 use Pam Bandi and Cash Patel and they... empower themselves with the power that has been given to them by the Constitution and Donald Trump because he's given them the mandate.

Speaker 1 They already have the constitutional power to do this. But if they have,

Speaker 1 excuse me, the balls to do it,

Speaker 1 they will restore the hope and promise of America. And if they don't, we become Mexico.
It's just that easy. That's where we're at.
Which road are we going to choose?

Speaker 1 I choose America. I mean, the America we should be.
I don't want to be like Mexico. Does anybody want to be? Mexicans don't want to be like Mexico.

Speaker 1 Okay?

Speaker 1 They might have Mexico is great because of our traditions, because of our family, but when it comes to their government, do you think they like that? Do you think they're like, oh, you know what?

Speaker 1 You know what I love? Is the mayor? Well, I loved the mayor that I was going to vote for until he was killed in the streets by the cartels, but hey, I just want everybody here loudly.

Speaker 1 I really like this new mayor. You think they want to live like that? No, neither do you.
Now is the time that Pam Bondi and Cash Patel have the chance to actually set us straight.

Speaker 1 All right, back in just a minute.

Speaker 1 So the Trump administration has dismissed a Biden-era lawsuit against the state of Idaho. So hopefully now they can enforce the

Speaker 1 post-Roe versus Wade restrictive abortion laws.

Speaker 1 That's happy news, but it's not the full story because federal appeals court has ruled that Idaho doctors who refer patients out of state for abortions can't be prosecuted.

Speaker 1 The left's quest to enshrine abortion, one of the worst practices that man has ever done.

Speaker 1 Every time we move, they move. They match us at every turn.
Rooting out abortion in this country is a hearts and minds thing, something that the Ministry of Pre-Born understands really well.

Speaker 1 They offer free ultrasounds to expecting moms at least half the time. That's all it takes to convince her she's carrying a living human being.
You should choose life.

Speaker 1 But then there's another thing that stops, and you would be amazed at how simple these things are. One woman said, I don't have a car to go to the doctor's office.

Speaker 1 I don't have, and somebody in the clinic said, wait a minute, wait a minute. Call this church.
Find out if we can get a car. Just a you, you'll take a used car.
I don't care. I just, I just, I can't.

Speaker 1 do what I have to do with the bus. I can't do it with three kids.
Okay.

Speaker 1 We got you a used car. It's a beater, but we got it and it's dependable.

Speaker 1 Are you kidding me? Yes. I want to keep the baby.
It's that basic.

Speaker 1 One ultrasound is $28. $140 helps rescue five babies.

Speaker 1 More Glenn Beck coming up next.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the program. Lutnick has come out and said there might be a tariff reprieve on not just autos, but a lot of things with the Canadian and Mexican tariffs.

Speaker 1 And if that's how this turns out, a few days of some pain, but we got what we wanted.

Speaker 1 I'm fine with that. Yeah.
Good with that.

Speaker 1 What do we want? Do we know? Well, I don't know for sure. I don't know specifics, but I do know reciprocal tariffs, plus they've got to stop the fentanyl and the terrorists and the borders.

Speaker 1 They have to match our work on our borders.

Speaker 1 Did you see them? Did you see Mexico close in the border and they put this?

Speaker 1 And they pulled these giant gates out. And I'm like,

Speaker 1 they've had a fence the whole time.

Speaker 1 I didn't see that. No, that's great.
Oh, it's amazing. They pull this fence out.
And you're like, wait a minute.

Speaker 1 Yeah. There's got to be more he's asking for that I don't understand though because I mean the USMCA which of course again was his negotiation one of the crowning achievements of his first term

Speaker 1 already had reciprocal tariffs in it. Like we already had that before all of this.

Speaker 1 And the fentanyl thing, again, is a real issue when you're talking about Mexico. In Canada, a very small percentage of it comes in from Canada.
It's still an issue.

Speaker 1 We have a lot of Chinese and we have a lot of terrorists coming in. It's an issue.
And I'm not saying it's not, though, again, I, you know,

Speaker 1 I mean, them upping the efforts would be great. They did up their efforts, but he's saying you've got to.
They were doing a lot of effort. That's okay.
You're right. You're right.
You're right.

Speaker 1 They're couching it. Yeah, they're saying it.
They're saying it for us. And that's the point.
And he's saying, look, you've got to get serious about your borders.

Speaker 1 Otherwise, we're going to have to spend all this money on what you should be doing because it's good for you, too.

Speaker 1 So, play ball.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck. Imagine your wife sitting in the car at the gas pump.
Dusk is settling over the parking lot like a heavy blanket, and you're inside.

Speaker 1 You're just grabbing some snacks and a drink she wanted. And you glance outside and and you see him, figure in a hood, moving with purpose toward her.

Speaker 1 Your world might slow down just a bit. You're too far away to close the gap, but here's the good news.
She's not defenseless. No, you insisted that she has the Berna launcher.

Speaker 1 And now it's in her hands. She aims, she fires, and a cloud of

Speaker 1 pepper spray or

Speaker 1 tear gas. bursts forth.
60 feet of reckoning. He's now on his knees.
He's gasping. He's clawing at his face.
He's crying, basically. And he's going to be like that until the cops arrive.

Speaker 1 For about 40 minutes, he'll be like that. You charge out to your wife.
Your heart is pounding. You find her standing there.
I mean, there's a woman with a gun, but it's not a life-taking gun.

Speaker 1 She may be rattled, but she's whole. She knows you and she can protect what matters most.

Speaker 1 This is

Speaker 1 the Glenbeck Program.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the Glenbeck Program. Yesterday I was with Kid Rock because he made an announcement that he is in a partnership.

Speaker 1 with PBR and the

Speaker 1 rodeo.

Speaker 1 He's got the new rockin' rodeo that he has partnered with. He's gonna be at the World Finals at AT ⁇ T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Yesterday we were at the Coliseum.

Speaker 1 If you've never been to Fort Worth, I mean it is the place to go.

Speaker 1 If you're anywhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, is to go down to where the Coliseum is. It is this historic building of rodeo, and they've just redone it.

Speaker 1 It's fantastic. It is a slice of America and the American West.

Speaker 1 We're going to talk about some of the values that I've been talking about today with Sean Gleason. Next, stand by.
First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

Speaker 1 We've been dealing with a lot of issues in this economy. The interest rates are still high.
Housing market is a mess. And people are afraid to sell.
They're afraid to buy.

Speaker 1 I mean, what are you going to do?

Speaker 1 You sell, you're going to have to turn around and get a mortgage rate at a higher rate. It is a legitimate fear.
But what if you need to sell your home? You have to sell your home.

Speaker 1 Or what if you just want to see what the other options are, you know, sitting there waiting for you? You are going to need the right real estate agent.

Speaker 1 You're going to, you're one of a really good one, one that knows your market, knows the best practices. And over a decade ago, I started a company called Real Estate Agents I Trust.

Speaker 1 And what it does is we go and we vet these people six ways to Sunday. I mean, we are a rubber glove away from a rectal exam to make sure these people are the right people.

Speaker 1 Somebody who really knows those best practices, somebody who understands the crazy housing market, somebody who's a team leader, a closer, closer, and somebody like you.

Speaker 1 You'll get a real great professional, realestateagentsitrust.com. You just tell us where you're moving from and to, whether it's across the street or across the country, realestate agentsitrust.com.

Speaker 1 That is RealEstateAgents I Trust.com.

Speaker 1 The PBR is a professional bull riders association. And I have to tell you, if you have never been to a rodeo,

Speaker 1 I went to the Coliseum probably 10 years ago when I first moved to Dallas-Fort Worth.

Speaker 1 And I go to the Coliseum and I'm with people from New York, never, you know, have not, they're the kind that got off the plane and saw Dallas and went, where are all the cows?

Speaker 1 It's not like that anymore. But they had never been to a rodeo.
And as soon as the kids got on the back of the sheep,

Speaker 1 they all like they immediately began looking for attorneys. They were like, this can't, you can't do that.

Speaker 1 Yes, you can. Can't in New York, but everywhere else in the country, that happens.
Sean, welcome to the program.

Speaker 2 How are you? Glad to be on, Glenn.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's good to see you. Yesterday, you were with Kid Rock.
You made a big announcement. Yep.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we, you know, we started this last year. We had the Kid Rock's Rock and Rodeo that we added and paired with the PBR World Finals.
It's Rodeo Reimagined.

Speaker 2 We not only brought in Kid Rock to help redefine the entertainment experience, but we turned Rodeo into a team sport and head-to-head competition. Drag race style.

Speaker 1 Drag race style?

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 horse race style.

Speaker 1 I have to tell you, there is, I was with

Speaker 1 last summer or the summer before, I think, I was with somebody who was from Scotland and he was like, you know, they pick up, you know, the big stumps and they throw them, you know, throwing rocks and they're like, that's real man sport.

Speaker 1 Yeah, whatever. He had never been to a rodeo.
And he said, beforehand, he's like, this is ridiculous. And I said, uh-uh, no, okay.
You just watch. This guy was, you know,

Speaker 1 in their special, the highest level of their special forces.

Speaker 1 The gate opened and the first 10 seconds went by and he looked at me and he said,

Speaker 1 why haven't I been here before? I mean, totally changed. That it's amazing what these guys do.

Speaker 2 It is. And I mean, you think about it.
And at one point in time, rodeo was the only sport in America.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 2 And it's amazing to me after 26 years of travel in this country, just how

Speaker 2 far removed people in urban environments are from one of this important pieces of history and heritage in our country, the sport of rodeo, Western sports, Western lifestyle.

Speaker 2 And so I've had the good fortune to travel this country back and forth from Madison Square Garden to LA and teach people a little bit about it.

Speaker 1 So does do you guys go into Los Angeles and those areas?

Speaker 2 Downtown, crypto.com.

Speaker 2 Shut up. We sold out three nights at Madison Square Garden in January, just a couple months ago.

Speaker 1 Was it mainly attorneys?

Speaker 2 No, well, it might be.

Speaker 2 You know, Friday nights weird. People ask me all the time, what is your demo?

Speaker 2 And I'm like, well, if you go to New York City, Friday night's a bunch of suits that come out and they're looking for a good time.

Speaker 2 Saturday is women between the ages of 25 and 40 that are looking at cowboys and tight jeans.

Speaker 2 And then Sunday is a bunch of families where people bring their kids. And it's just an amazing experience to bring some of those values back to

Speaker 2 urban places like New York that haven't seen it in a long, long time.

Speaker 1 You know, I saw a story.

Speaker 1 We did a story on something where some kids were, you know, a mom, this is what it was.

Speaker 1 A mom was arrested for letting her kid go across the street from his house at eight or 10 years old and just play. And the cops came to her and arrested her for child neglect.
Okay. Crazy.

Speaker 1 And I read a story, and this is how much we have changed.

Speaker 1 And this is, I really think this is the spirit of the rodeo um when you're responsible and you understand your kids and you understand you know what life is really all about there were these two kids in uh california that wanted to meet teddy roosevelt he was going to be sworn in as president these two kids eight and ten told their parents they wanted to go meet him So they put them on horseback.

Speaker 1 They went by themselves. It took them three months to get to Washington, D.C.

Speaker 1 But by the time they got there, there were so many press reports about these two kids that just wanted to go see the president that they actually met Teddy Roosevelt and went to the White House and everything else.

Speaker 1 But nobody was saying that's irresponsible. You know, it's just

Speaker 2 different now. I know.
I mean, you know, some people would like us all to wear bubble suits, I guess.

Speaker 2 We put, you know, 150-pound cowboys on the backs of bulls and

Speaker 2 pay them millions of dollars to do it. And some people have criticized that and said we shouldn't allow that.
It's individual choice, you know.

Speaker 1 And but it also is, I mean, it's not

Speaker 1 a sport that is just played for sport. You know, when you see the cowboys go out and they rope the cattle,

Speaker 1 that is a skill they use every day, you know? Absolutely. And the combination of those horses, I mean, I know why they cost millions of dollars.

Speaker 1 The way those horses anticipate

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 with the rider, and I mean, it's incredible to watch.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, cowboys fed America for a long, long time. That's where it was born out here in the West.

Speaker 2 And, you know, they had to, it was the greatest cultural melting pot, too, if you think about it, because it was

Speaker 2 freed blacks from the East. It was Irish immigrants that couldn't find work.
They hooked up with Native Americans and the Mexican vaqueros, and they created the cowboy.

Speaker 2 And they depended on one another. They lived on the trail and they drove those cattle back and forth and fed the East Coast.

Speaker 2 And it's one of the great stories of cultural diversity and hard work, honesty, integrity, values.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's people don't people have no idea who Bill Pickett is anymore. But he was a black man.
He was probably one of the most famous black men in the 1920s in all of America.

Speaker 1 That guy was amazing.

Speaker 1 And the things that he would do,

Speaker 1 what did he call bulldogging, right? Yeah. Is what he invented.
Yep. And he,

Speaker 1 you tell me if this is true or not. I think it is, that he, he was a, he was a rancher and just tough as nails and also a silent movie star.

Speaker 1 And he said that he saw his dog grab the bull, jump up, grab the bull by the lower lip and pulled him right down to the ground. And so bulldogging was him.

Speaker 2 That's the story I've heard too.

Speaker 1 And you know, we have... He actually would get onto the bull.
He would jump off his horse, grab the bull with his mouth on the lower lip of the bull and turn him down.

Speaker 1 And that's how bulldogging started. That's insane.
It's insane.

Speaker 2 It's, you know, we're pretty proud. We have a partnership with Bill Pickett.
And

Speaker 2 a few years back, we put the very first black rodeo on national television on CBS, had huge ratings and have supported those guys ever since. And we have now an event in Cowtown.

Speaker 2 Two weeks ago, sold out Cowtown for a Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo.

Speaker 1 I heard that I was talking to the guy who's running Cowtown Down, and that is the arena in

Speaker 1 Fort Worth. And he said like 274 nights of rodeo sold out.
Yeah. I mean, it is.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we actually do a PBR event every Thursday. Rodeo's Friday and Saturday.
Bill Pickett occasionally when their tour permits. And

Speaker 2 PBR actually partnered with the Stockyards Heritage Group. We actually run that building and facilitate all those events now.
So pretty proud of what we've done there.

Speaker 1 I was living in New York and I was on CNN

Speaker 1 to my shame, but I was on CNN and I used to say all the time, look, I don't know what I'm doing. You know, I'm a rodeo clown and trying to tell you the news.

Speaker 1 And then I got a letter from the president of the Rodeo Clown Association and he said, do you have any idea what rodeo clowns do?

Speaker 1 And, you know, I hadn't been to a rodeo since I was a kid. And I don't think as a kid, you can fully appreciate what those guys do.
I've never said that about myself ever again.

Speaker 1 You watch these rodeo clowns. How often are they killed?

Speaker 2 Not often killed because they're pretty damn good at what they do.

Speaker 1 They're fearless.

Speaker 2 They're fearless. But, you know, we,

Speaker 2 no disrespect to the Rodeo Clowns organization, but we took them.

Speaker 1 Look out, man.

Speaker 2 We we took them out of the clown outfit and we put them into uniforms. And one of the reasons we did that is because they're the best athletes on the field.

Speaker 1 They face every bull, every

Speaker 2 protect every cowboy on every single out, and they're on that dirt for every single one of the outs. And so they're great athletes.
They're fearless human beings.

Speaker 2 But the thing I'm most proud of is they wear the U.S. Border Patrol uniform because they are the PBR's Border Patrol safety team.

Speaker 1 So let me ask you:

Speaker 1 You're using the Coliseum in Fort Worth coming up. When is that happening? May 8th.

Speaker 1 And you're using the Cowtown Coliseum, which is a new venue, and I won't mention the old venue because I don't even know if this is true.

Speaker 1 But I hear the old venue wouldn't allow the United States Border Patrol to come in with guns. You wanted to honor them, and they wanted to come in with guns, and they said, we can't have guns here.

Speaker 1 And I mean, it's Texas, man. What are you thinking? Everybody's got a gun in Texas.
Anyway,

Speaker 1 so you're not, you're, you've moved it to a much smaller venue. You've got to be losing money on that like crazy.

Speaker 2 Well, we also took the finals to ATT Stadium, which is the largest venue on the planet. So we have both the smallest and the largest venue.
But yeah,

Speaker 1 actually, you took it there?

Speaker 2 That's true.

Speaker 2 I've run into that twice in my career now. And one was in Charlotte, North Carolina, where

Speaker 2 the building basically said the U.S. Border Patrol couldn't come in with their sidearms.
They wanted them to surrender them to a guy in a shack at the back of the building in order to come in.

Speaker 2 And that was the color guard from the U.S. Border Patrol.

Speaker 1 Have you checked? I think it's illegal. It's illegal.
Right, right. Yeah.
You have a badge and you are a law enforcement.

Speaker 2 They're federal law enforcement officers. And so that's what bugs me is the disrespect that was given to the U.S.

Speaker 2 Border Patrol with them not recognizing that they could disarm the local Charlotte or Fort Worth police officer.

Speaker 2 They could arrest them

Speaker 2 and charge them with obstruction of justice, basically. I mean, or failure to allow a federal officer to do their job.

Speaker 1 Any policeman with a badge, any current lawyer.

Speaker 1 And on the federal level, you can't, it's illegal to take their gun.

Speaker 2 Yeah. And I thought we had ended that in Charlotte six or seven, eight years ago, and we haven't been back to Charlotte.
And I ran into it in another building in Fort Worth, and I moved our event.

Speaker 1 It's shocking from that building. It's shocking.

Speaker 2 Shocking. It's unfortunate.

Speaker 1 You know why they did it?

Speaker 2 I don't.

Speaker 2 Most of the time,

Speaker 2 it's a building policy. I get it.
And they're in place to protect the patients that are there.

Speaker 1 It's a federal agent.

Speaker 2 But not the federal agents, and especially not my heroes at the U.S. Border Patrol.
It's just, don't disrespect the federal officers.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 I can't wait. I can't wait.

Speaker 1 My family and I will be there,

Speaker 1 and we just love it. And I love the addition of Kid Rock.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he's been a great uplift to it. And one of the things that I think we wanted to accomplish with it is rodeo has become the opening act for big music acts.

Speaker 2 So if you go to Houston, nothing against Houston, but it's 21 days of concerts that are preceded by a rodeo.

Speaker 2 And people have become accustomed to showing up a little late, not really hanging out for the whole rodeo because they're waiting for,

Speaker 2 they're waiting for whatever artist is coming up

Speaker 2 in the evening show. And we've never, at the PBR, I've never allowed the PBR to be an opening act for anybody.

Speaker 1 Why are you doing that with Kid?

Speaker 2 Because when he and I sat and envisioned this whole plan, I said, we have to change the paradigm on how entertainment is delivered to the fans.

Speaker 2 And we've integrated his performance pre, during, and post.

Speaker 2 And so it's not an opening act. It's all one show.

Speaker 1 I tell you, every time I've seen these places do like Fourth of July events, and it was all about the country, it was all about patriotism. And then they would introduce an act.

Speaker 1 And then over years, the act act had to get bigger and bigger and bigger and it just everything else was lost people were coming for the concert and they really didn't care about the patriotism and the message of the day yeah and erected or the sport yeah you know the sport itself and our athletes go through too much and are um too committed to being professionals to allow them to be overshadowed by a music act or another form of entertainment sort of like the kamala harris rallies from this uh most recent campaign she's throwing beyoncé on the stage and they all leave yeah Didn't care about her.

Speaker 1 Didn't care about her.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But I will tell you, rodeo, if you've never been to one, you've got to go.

Speaker 1 It's remarkable. And I will tell you,

Speaker 1 kid, I said this to Kid yesterday and he's like, right,

Speaker 1 I said,

Speaker 1 the sexiest women on the planet. are the women who are on the horse with the flag at the beginning of the rodeo that ride around the ring with the flag.

Speaker 1 It is, I don't know, there is something about that

Speaker 1 that is charging. Just back

Speaker 2 carrying the red, white, and blue. Beautiful.
It just doesn't get any better.

Speaker 2 It doesn't. And they usually have on shiny outfits with some fringe on them.
I mean, it just,

Speaker 1 I feel a little kind of dirty looking at it because I'm like, that's beautiful, but it is. It's beautiful.
It's the greatest sight in America. John, thank you.

God bless. All right, let me talk to you about Lear Capital.

Speaker 1 I want to talk to you about something that you cannot afford to ignore. We are living in a world gone absolutely stark raving mad.

Speaker 1 Even now in the Trump era, we're seeing government spending spiraling out of control. Inflation is eating our savings like a kid who's found candy.

Speaker 1 And a dollar that's losing its value faster than a Democrat loses their principles.

Speaker 1 You feel it. I feel it.
That pit in your stomach sometimes is warning of it. You know another shoe could drop at any moment.
Look, we... We're going to get better, but it's going to get harder first.

Speaker 1 And Lear Capital has your back with precious metals, gold and silver, the bedrock of wealth for centuries.

Speaker 1 Precious metals have been the hedge against chaos, the hedge against inflation. I mean, as you see inflation going up, have you noticed gold is going up as well?

Speaker 1 The

Speaker 1 Kid Rock interview comes out today.

Speaker 1 And you don't want to miss it. You don't want to miss it.
You can't wait. Yeah,

Speaker 1 he was amazing.

Speaker 1 You know, and he was just playing golf with Elon Musk and

Speaker 1 Donald Trump last Sunday. We talked about that.
That's a strange sentence that was. Right? Right.
Kid Rock, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk on a golf course. That's the beginning of a joke.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I mean, when he talks about Elon Musk,

Speaker 1 it's wild. It is wild.
Does he go into the Bud Light stuff at all? You talk about that? You know what?

Speaker 1 No, I forgot to ask him that. Oh, my God.
Damn it. I knew there was something.
I'm like, I'm missing something. I'm missing something.
And I didn't. Ah, oh, I didn't ask him that.
I should have.

Speaker 1 Because it was an interesting thing. If I remember right, obviously he came out and he shot the cans.
Oh, yeah. And it was kind of the big start of that.

Speaker 1 And then later on, kind of was like, you know, like, maybe the punishment has already exceeded the crime. I can answer the question.

Speaker 1 You know, you never ask a question that you're not pretty sure you know the answer to. So I know the answer.

Speaker 1 He really felt as himself, not the Kid Rock character, but as himself, America needs to heal. We need to forgive each other.
We need to come back together.

Speaker 1 And sometimes it means, okay,

Speaker 1 let's move on past this scar. I don't know if I agree with him on that one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I kind of do.

Speaker 1 I kind of feel like... I do if Bud Light, if Anheuser-Busch would have come out and said, whoa,

Speaker 1 wow. Their actions indicated at least they very much wanted people to believe that's their reaction.
Yeah. I mean, you know, every.
I read the book on the Bud Light madness and Anheuser-Busch.

Speaker 1 I remember that. Yeah, no.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 They could send any mad. I don't believe that.
I don't even need people to agree with me on same things, though. I just want them to just, you know, make their products.
I really do.

Speaker 1 And I don't, me too. But they're not.
Anheuser-Busch is no longer that company, I believe.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Picture this. Grid is down.
Even just for a little while. Your neighbor's crying over his dead phone, unable to imagine the day without TikTok or something.

Speaker 1 Imagine how many, if the power ever goes out, I mean, the grid goes down. Imagine how many people are going to be jonesing.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's going to be an insane asylum if we have to go like three days without the phones.

Speaker 1 You're sipping coffee, you're running in the fridge, maybe even firing up popcorn because tonight's movie night at your house. You can watch the movies, but not without popcorn.

Speaker 1 You know, that's in the Bible somewhere, I think. Anyway.
What's the difference between you and the unfortunate neighbor that's jonesing? It's simple. Two type of people.

Speaker 1 One that prepares, one that doesn't. You're the type of person who does a lot of that preparing with My Patriot Supply.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 1 You're not not a rodeo guy.

Speaker 1 Have you been to one lately? I went to one here, like, when we first moved down here, and it was cool. Like, I mean, they're incredible at what they do.
Like, it is an amazing skill set.

Speaker 1 I don't know how they do it. It's kind of like, I don't think people understand the

Speaker 1 athleticism of a NASCAR or an F1 driver. You know, you,

Speaker 1 you are an athlete. Sure.
You know what I mean? Much more than the Canadians brushing the ice with the stones.

Speaker 1 Curlings

Speaker 1 are pretty challenging.

Speaker 1 But the same thing, I don't think people understand.

Speaker 1 I mean, these guys, I don't know how they walk. It's like football after a while, but these guys aren't making football

Speaker 1 salaries.

Speaker 1 Some of them

Speaker 1 are doing pretty well.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I don't know. how you put your body through that.
And when you see them, they're riding the bull.

Speaker 1 They just need eight seconds. Eight eight seconds and uh

Speaker 1 when you can't stay in a bull for eight seconds uh and then you fall off and you fall off while the back end of the the uh bull is up and you fall off and you're down now underneath where the hooves are going to come back down

Speaker 1 i i i yeah i just don't understand it but

Speaker 1 that is

Speaker 1 as impressive uh and and maybe in some ways less impressive because it happened so fast

Speaker 1 than when

Speaker 1 the rider and the horse, these horses, you know,

Speaker 1 I remember saying to somebody like 10 years ago, you know, I go up and I'm all hat and no cattle. I mean,

Speaker 1 I own a ranch. I have 100 and 150 maybe tops at some point when all the calves are grown up.

Speaker 1 That's what I have for cattle, but

Speaker 1 I don't do anything with them. I don't know how to do anything with them.
You know what I mean? I ride around in my cowboy hat and I'm like, yeah, you got to rustle up them cattle.

Speaker 1 I go, you know, go inside and I read a book or something.

Speaker 1 But when you see, I remember saying about 10 years ago,

Speaker 1 that horse is worth how much? You know, you don't think about it with a Kentucky Derby. You're like, okay, it's a racehorse.
These horses, you know,

Speaker 1 the best horses are trained with buffalo.

Speaker 1 not you know because what they have to do is they have to when you're rounding up cattle you got a whole bunch of them i tried to do it myself uh you know in a four-wheeler

Speaker 1 my cow i i was just told just get that cow back here and i'm like okay i'll do that again and that my cow ended up like at a mountaintop you know with me like they're like how did you even do this and i'm like i don't know i couldn't stop the cow

Speaker 1 Every time I get in front of him, he'd go someplace.

Speaker 1 So anyway, it's really hard. But these, they, they trained the best horses with buffalo because buffalo don't stop and they're so fast.

Speaker 1 These horses will come in and they will trap to try to get them with the herd.

Speaker 1 They'll trap them and they're just like, you know, have you ever done this with like a kid where you're like, go ahead, try to get past me. Go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 1 These horses are amazing. And when you connect that with the rider and then a wild bull, it's incredible.
It's incredible. It's amazingly impressive.

Speaker 1 You know, I mean, it's, it's,

Speaker 1 I grew up in Connecticut, so there wasn't a ton of rodeo stuff that I, you know,

Speaker 1 but Buffy did come over once in a while. We rode it hot and hard.
Anyway,

Speaker 1 I was with Kid Rock yesterday, uh, and I asked him, because he's now doing stuff with the rodeo, and I'm like, you grew up in Detroit, man.

Speaker 1 How did you get to rodeo? Listen what he said. So we're here at,

Speaker 1 because you're starting something with PBR and the rodeo.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Kid Rocks, Rock, and Rodeo. So,

Speaker 1 I mean, you grew up in Detroit. There are not a lot of rodeos in Detroit.
Zero.

Speaker 1 The Motown Rodeo. No big happen.

Speaker 1 I like the ring of that, though.

Speaker 1 What, what, what.

Speaker 3 You know, I grew up north of Detroit.

Speaker 3 We had had six acres and a couple horses, you know, beautiful home, beautiful spread and all that. But so, no, it was far from growing up as a cowboy or rodeo.

Speaker 3 Although, you know, my parents were into that stuff, you know, they used to go like to watch this fiddle player, Sneaky Pete, this little dirt four place, and, you know, dad liked to ride his horse and things like that.

Speaker 3 But no, nothing like this. It wasn't until probably 20, I don't know if it was 20, 25 years ago when I started performing at high levels and started doing rodeos.

Speaker 3 There's Cheyenne Rodeo and rodeos in Canada, Calgary, and of course the Houston Rodeo. And so I was like, man, it's kind of cool.

Speaker 1 It's kind of badass.

Speaker 1 First time you go to a rodeo, I remember I was on CNN and I used to call myself a rodeo clown. I'm just a rodeo clown.

Speaker 1 Until like the president of the rodeo clown association wrote to me and said, do you know what rodeo clowns do? And I'm like, okay, you're right, you're right.

Speaker 1 I mean, it is really badass to use your language. And it's, and,

Speaker 3 you know, it's some, it's one of the toughest sports. And I don't mean tough like UFC tough.
Right. I mean, like, like cowboys and that whole lifestyle, cowgirls, they're just tough people.

Speaker 3 I mean, just the way the way they live, they work so hard, the way they raise their families, the way they love this country. To me,

Speaker 3 that's tough.

Speaker 1 Let me cut and go to the next clip because we talked about also

Speaker 1 how

Speaker 1 let me use the word not tough, not the word he chose, how not tough America has become. Kudai.

Speaker 3 Which one is that?

Speaker 1 Again, the younger one? No, that's the after 60, born 65. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 I don't know what is wrong with that. Was somebody drunk when they put these clips together? I don't know.
He was just talking about how it's just the,

Speaker 1 I don't think I can use that language. It's language that I use, but I don't know if it's even legal to use that language on this particular word because it is perfect.

Speaker 1 You'll have to hear it in the podcast. It is a perfect word on how he describes what we become.
And, you know,

Speaker 1 we used to go out at night, kids, and you're like, you know, you get your bike and you'd go to a rock quarry and you'd have a rock war with your friends. You know what I mean? You were stupid.

Speaker 1 And we don't allow kids to be stupid anymore. And I think this goes

Speaker 1 to what we have been in the last 20 years.

Speaker 1 It's a tough thing as a parent, though. That's what he said.
Oh, really? Yeah, he said,

Speaker 1 you know, I hate

Speaker 1 you know, helmets on your bike, but then you look at it as a parent and go, yeah, well, but what if. Right.
And then, you know, number one, it's, you know,

Speaker 1 it's a terrible outcome for your kid. And then number two, like it feels like your fault if you don't take those steps.

Speaker 1 That's exactly what I said. And then we both pounced on those thoughts.
You are a wuss. That is like, though, I think

Speaker 1 totally, you know, we've talked about this before in that, what are they, free-range parenting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's like,

Speaker 1 you know, I know logically, number one, really good for kids to be independent and explore and do all those things, right? Take risks. Like, you need that.
Number two,

Speaker 1 I also know that it's safer now than it ever was. I know.

Speaker 1 I mean, the stat that always blows me away, and thankfully not literally, was that there were more school deaths by school shooting when I was in high school than today by a big margin.

Speaker 1 It's not even close. And you're like, wait a minute, what? That was before Columbine.
It was what, that's because they were a different style of school shooting.

Speaker 1 They were more like a couple of people would get hit and there would be fights.

Speaker 1 It wasn't like the marquee, I'm trying to get attention for myself and kill as many people as possible stuff that kind of developed later.

Speaker 1 But when it comes to actual deaths of shootings in high schools, it was more common then. So let me ask you something.

Speaker 1 What you're saying is you're admitting to being really almost a ringleader in getting us to say, you know what? If you want to be a woman, you can be a woman. Because that's where that leads.

Speaker 1 It's a very long road to.

Speaker 1 I don't know how, but you got there. No, because

Speaker 1 we just keep weakening things down and weakening things down until there's everybody's got to be safe. And then there's nobody who's like, shut up.
Right. I'm going to go do this.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And it's like, it's like, I know at a societal level, it is totally the right thing. And I think even the right thing for my individual kid.

Speaker 1 But like when it comes down to making those decisions, you become a wuss. You, you, well, I mean, again, I think we started this with you guys both agreeing at this point.

Speaker 1 So I don't know why I'm being singled out as the only one who's ever thought this way. It comes to my advantage.

Speaker 1 Don't ever argue with a host. These always win.
I forgot. Yeah.
I forgot. You got the control of the microphone.
Right. But I do like, I have to make myself allow those situations.
I have, like, it's

Speaker 1 just dumb enough to, I don't think about it. My wife will come out.
You know, one of the kids will be bleeding or something, you know, lost their arm and, you know, they're playing with a saw.

Speaker 1 And I was there the whole time. And I'll be like, I don't know.
I didn't even see it happen. Yeah, you're just a bad father.
I don't know if you know. Okay, just.

Speaker 1 Bad fathers have a place in America still. That's true.
All fathers were stupid. We were stupid guys.
Let us be stupid again. Well, you'll never cut your second arm off.
I'll tell you that.

Speaker 1 You learned your lessons. All right.

Speaker 1 He also talked about

Speaker 1 P. Diddy.
Oh.

Speaker 1 Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 Listen to this.

Speaker 3 It's dirty and it's evil. It's the most.

Speaker 3 Why do you say it that way? Oh, it's just full of scoundrels and scumbags, rip-off con artists. I mean, what business? Let's take a record company.
What business?

Speaker 3 Basically, they give you a loan. Now, of course, they do promotion and artist development and things like that.
When you break it down to brass techs, kind of giving you a loan.

Speaker 3 And then after that, they basically take 80% of everything you make. Like, what business could survive doing that? Now, there's a lot of money, and there's an argument.

Speaker 3 You know, I like to argue both sides that, you know, the artists go out and make the money touring where the money's at the gate. That's where the big money is.

Speaker 3 And, you know, the record companies usually don't share in that. They tried two years ago with these 360 deals.
They didn't work. But, I mean, they've been,

Speaker 3 they were charging artists for years, like when records were out certain percentage of those records would get broke in transit makes sense.

Speaker 3 So they had a 10% free goods clause Which means they charge an extra 10% because 10% of those records usually get broke They kept that through digital Half the contracts. I mean just start there.

Speaker 3 Look at the black artists when they started. You know the tales there.
Look at the payoffs.

Speaker 3 You know, if you've ever read any of the books of the payola for radio, the way these award shows work, the Grammys and the Oscars are such horse shit.

Speaker 1 But you use the word evil, and when you said that, I think of P. Diddy.

Speaker 1 Is that real?

Speaker 3 I have no idea.

Speaker 1 Never got fight. Do you think it's real?

Speaker 3 I think there was some. If I had to take an educated guess, there's some freaky stuff going on.
Is freaky stuff illegal?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 3 Involved children?

Speaker 1 Screw you.

Speaker 3 You know, if there's

Speaker 3 certain, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 That's the Epstein thing.

Speaker 1 I don't know if it's.

Speaker 3 Yeah, when do we get to see that list?

Speaker 1 Ask Bam. I know.

Speaker 1 As Bam.

Speaker 1 But, you know, you look at Epstein, you look at Diddy, and then you go to Pizzagate, and you're like, okay, they didn't have children in the basement of that pizza place.

Speaker 1 But there's something collectively, I think, in our universal mind that we're like, something's wrong.

Speaker 1 There's the marketing and selling of children for sex.

Speaker 3 That is freaking disgusting. Those people should be lined up and shot, period.
There should be no nothing for there. We should go to medieval times on that, in my opinion.

Speaker 1 You know, I wondered when he said that. I was like, medieval times.
I mean, do you want a big drumstick to watch that?

Speaker 1 I don't even know. Anyway, it's Kid Rock.
It is a great, great podcast.

Speaker 1 He makes some news in there on some of the things that he was talking about. Hear him talk about Donald Trump, hear him talk about Elon Musk.
He was just golfing with Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 And

All right. Let me talk to you about American financing.

Speaker 1 No doubt that these first couple of months of the Trump presidency have largely been a relief, but we're clawing back four years of the Biden legacy and that's going to take a while.

Speaker 1 So Donald Trump and his administration are working to shore up America's financial house. In the meantime, what are you doing to shore up yours? And I know it's tough.

Speaker 1 I know you think about this all the time. I mean, especially if you're behind the eight ball.
What steps are you taking to get out of debt and start putting back more money into savings?

Speaker 1 I know you probably think, I've tried everything. It's a tricky map to navigate.
And I know,

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 I felt this way many times in my life. Trapped, no way out.
And I avoid it. Don't.

Speaker 1 You know, the left's got a road map

Speaker 1 straight off a cliff.

Speaker 1 Let's take the right trail.

Speaker 1 Glenn Beck returns shortly.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the Glemdeck program. If you are watching us on Blaze TV, if you become a member of Blaze TV,

Speaker 1 you can get into chat and we're watching what people are saying. Oh, yeah, we are watching you.

Speaker 1 Everybody's developing friendships and everything else. But let me just give you some comments.

Speaker 1 Earlier today, I talked about Trump wanting to end the Department of Education. And D.B.

Speaker 1 wrote in and said, if they said the president can't have a line item veto, that's too much power, then why would he be allowed to shut down an entire agency? He wouldn't be.

Speaker 1 And that's not what he's issuing an executive order supposedly today

Speaker 1 to not shut down the Department of Education, but get as close as legally possible. It was started by executive order, but then Congress codified it and passed

Speaker 1 a law that we're creating this agency and we're funding it. So

Speaker 1 whatever it is that they have to fund, he's going to have to keep open.

Speaker 1 But everything that they can take a surgical knife to and pare it down, his goal is to pare it down, show America, you know, this isn't helping us. This is making things worse.

Speaker 1 Because the one thing we're number one in is spending per pupil. That's not helping anything.
That's what he'll do. And then hopefully Congress will just shut it down themselves.
We'll see.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck.
