When times get tired, gotta face the dog and embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck 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, 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.
And we'll do that in just a second. First, let me tell you about Lear Capital.
When you're driving down the street, you ever look at the businesses on the side of you and think about the people inside? 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 dollar 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 and get back on track but it's going to be hard and it's going to get worse before it gets better.
You should be building a protective hedge around anything that you do have. So you have something left if something goes really bad.

800-957-GOLD. Well, you know, in looking at the news today, I am overwhelmed by the weight of abandonment that has been hanging over America for the last 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. This is an end of an era and the beginning of a new one.
And I'll explain. But there is a shadow that was cast by Joe Biden that we all started to feel was inevitable.
It was a presidency that turned its back on those it swore to protect. And the evidence is a little overwhelming, undeniable.

Yesterday, one of the astronauts that has been marooned. Think of that word.
Only used to hear that on Gilligan's Island. They were 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, not for strategy, not for principle, but for petty politics.
Biden feared the optics the chance that it might make Donald Trump look really really good

and him bad

so he didn't do it. So two Americans languished in orbit.
Symbols of a nation that once reached for the stars, now just content to let them drift in space. It's obscene.
But this, unfortunately, wasn't an isolated failure. Afghanistan comes to mind.
The withdrawal in 2021, how many thousands were left behind? Do you know we're still in Afghanistan, Mercury 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.
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. We left interpreters, allies, families who risk everything to aid our troop.
And yet we let the terrorists come across our border the biden administration they abandoned people and left them to the mercy of the taliban we all felt it when that happened that week was one of the darkest weeks in in 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.
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. You know who didn't forget the people? Biden forgot the people in Afghanistan.istan 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 you did just as a single american you did history has taught the world over and over again the cost of deserting people and yet biden repeated it over and over again ignoring the pleas of those who trusted us or who carried a blue passport 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 he never even acknowledged the sacrifice in his public tallies of the war's toll never their names faded into silenced, unavenged,ognized unremembered by a white house too busy to scrambling around to save face 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?

You were.

The... were left stranded, scrambling for evacuation as the State Department faltered.
And yet who was there? You were. The tales from Mercury One of the people that went in to help save and rescue Americans is just phenomenal.
You sent planes over to rescue the trapped. In Haiti, under Biden, Chaospted 2024 u.s citizens thousands of them trapped no real rescue mounted by the u.s state department or our government yet again you sent in the planes let's look at the abandonment of of uh east palestine or Palestine.
How do you say it? I can't remember now. Anyway, in Ohio, you all, Palestine, you remember when the train 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. North Carolina drowned under Hurricane Helene's wrath just last September.
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.
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. These were not oversights.
They were choices by this administration, a consistent refusal to prioritize the vulnerable, the forgotten, the American. Things have changed.
Have you noticed that? Now Donald Trump is in office. Some real big things have really changed.
Take the Abbey Gate mastermind. Trump announced that he was captured and brought to U.S.
soil two days ago. Two days ago, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz revealed Trump's team went, got him, and extracted a confession before even landing in Dulles, delivering accountability when Biden offered none.
The Gold Star families, one of whom cried out in anguish during the 2024 State of of the union remember biden had that guy removed 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 well this week they finally saw their pain recognized. And their children and their deaths honored.
Not with words, but with action. 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.
Quote, not a single Hamas member will be safe until you release every hostage. Pretty clear.
And yet, just in the first six weeks of this guy's term, Donald Trump personally secured 11 total confirmed hostages. These were poor Americans being held in some of the most, just most hostile, nasty areas of the world.
Gaza, Russia, Venezuela. And you know what? None of these were grand gestures for applause.
None of them. They were just smart and decent moves to bring

Americans home. What the hell is your passport or you being an American worth? If somebody can

just scoop you up. Biden's tenure saw a thousand Afghans with special immigrant visas left behind.
Per the State Department's estimate, along with the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state'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. Relentless negotiation, relentless pursuit of what is true and right.
Where Biden just dithered and withered. Trump leaned in.
Often personally leaning in. Like when he met with Kim Jong-un in 2018.
You know, I don't know if you remember this, he secured the release of three American hostages from North Korea. It's the intent, it is the willingness to act.
I'm a little soupy today because honor is coming back. 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.

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

Franklin Roosevelt, when he launched the Doolittle Raid in 1942, he knew that covenant that we made.

He didn't abandon the downed pilots. He ordered rescue missions deep into enemy territory.
When Jimmy Carter fumbled the Iran hostage crisis in 1980, he at least tried. It was flawed.
Desert One was an abysmal failure, but Biden didn't even try. He withdrew.
He deflected. He excused.
His era was one of shame, 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. Shame, not because America lacked the power or the willpower.
He left us a legacy of shame because he lacked the will. 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.

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

It's over.

Trump's return signals a shift.

And it's not blind, jingoistic pride.

It's a renewed clarity of purpose. And it's not blind, jingoistic pride.

It's a renewed clarity of purpose. 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.
And if you kill any of our people, we will hunt you down and justice will be served. The parents of those lost at Abbey Gate, sorry, that one is very personal.
The citizens that have been stranded in countries all over the world, the American towns and citizens that were ignored, you're not a footnote anymore.

You're the priority.

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

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.
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 worldview. It was a belief that America's role was now to retreat, to manage decline.
We didn't lead anymore. We didn't deserve to lead anymore.
He saw our reach as an overextension, our rescues as a liability. Trump, no matter what you think of him, sees very differently.
Every American left behind is a wound to our soul. It's a debt unpaid.
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. A concept that America under Biden and the last 20 years has just been left to atrophy.
But let me tell you right now, the era of shame is over. 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. No American gets left behind.
That's the America that I've always believed in. That's the America worth believing in.

That's the America worth believing in.

Again.

It's not a myth. It's not a myth.

It's a renewed mission.

Back in a minute.

Let me talk to you about pain for a second.

Maybe it's a stiff back after a long day.

Creaky knees from years of hard work or the ache that just won't quit after a hard workout. If you're one of the people who suffer from pain, it is really frustrating.
Really? Isn't it? Here's the good news. There is something that can help.

Station ID. Welcome to the program.
Stu Bergeer, our executive producer on the Olympic program. How are you? Pretty well.
A little emotional. You know what? Because I used to be afraid of my country.
I'm proud of my country again. That's good.
That's good to hear. Yeah.
I will say, too, if there is anything to get emotional over that the Afghanistan story is still to this day one that requires, I think, that type of treatment. It's unbelievable that that was not even more of a factor during the election.
How anyone involved in that White House and those decisions could have possibly been considered to be president again. It's just incomprehensible.
Yeah, it is. It is.
But you know what's so great is it's over. It's over.
I wrote some notes early this morning for my message top of next hour. And I'm going to have a hard time getting through that one because it's why things have changed.
It really hit me yesterday. I spent the day I in uh fort worth and they're driving the cattle down the street and i'm i'm with kid rock yesterday and uh and we were just talking about you know what's happening in america 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 trends, 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.
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. But the Supreme Court has spoken.

We'll talk about that next.

This is Glenn Beck.

So you're at a stoplight in 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. He has, he has, he is unhinged.

He's lost his mind.

He's leaning on the horn. His face is red uh you don't doubt really what he's screaming uh 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 well you don't get out of your car you might roll down the window a little bit, and I would grab my Berna launcher.
That's what would happen. Your hand will just slide into the Berna 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.
He's regretting the loss of both of his temper and for a little while,

his eyesight. Tearcast really isn't fun, it turns out.

You can subscribe now with the promo Court decision on restoring USA funding. I think this is grotesque, but it's a conversation that we need to have.
And it doesn't end with, we're not going to listen to the Supreme Court. 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.
The question is, who really holds the reins of our government? Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruling came out, and really didn't because it was a quick turnaround.

It's not a full 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 ring wing.

What a surprise there.

And it was against the Trump's administration to push to freeze $2 billion, $2 billion. You and everyone you know, maybe everyone you've ever met, everybody lives in the same town with you, will never pay $2 billion in income tax.
So $2 billion in foreign aid. And the dissent came from conservative justices like Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh.
Now, this was, I mean, Scalia talked a lot about this. And let me break it down in this way.
The federal government is like a giant kitchen. Congress is the head chef.
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.
He decides, how do we execute this? How do we do this? 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. That's what it's supposed to be.
In this case, President Trump, on his first day back in office, he signed an executive order to freeze $2 billion in USA funding. Why? 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. 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. 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, what? 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.

Now, I think it does.

But really, so does Thomas and Alito and Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.

They said he's the administrator.

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.
The administrator, does he have leeway to manage the funds and root out corruption, especially since the executive branch is tasked with, quote, faithfully executing the laws, faithfully executing the laws faithfully executing the laws

amy coney barrett trump appointee from last time uh 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 that I don't think the founders ever really saw this as. Scalia, were he alive, might have dissented and gone the way of Alito and Gorsuch because he always railed against judicial overreach.
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. What does that mean? 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.
Okay, Congress allocated the funds. And no law gave Trump the unilateral freeze button.
That's what she said. Here's the problem.
Here's how I think of it and how I think you should think of it. 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? 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, and then you're out.
And then you find out that the brother is holding on to that $500. 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 or even worse, they actually stand against everything your family, you, your son, everything you're trying to teach him, everything you want. I couldn't in good conscience give this $500 to them because it's corrupt.
Are you cool 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 i want my money going to that corrupt camp even if they're abusing my child of course not that's the oversight of the administrator that's the that's this case in a nutshell that's that's what trump is arguing and that's what Trump should be given.
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.
Do you want it to go to anti-American or changing mice, you know, one sex to the other? Do you want that? Because I, as a family member and 330 million people, I'm kind of pissed about that. Maybe you're not.
I am. Okay, add that a little bit too, Glenn.
At any point, the mom and dad can just send that money directly to the camp. Yes.
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 exactly exactly where the money needs to go and when it needs to go there 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.
They passed in 1946 the Administrative Procedure Act. I don't know what that is.
You ever heard of that? Really super important. It creates a fourth branch of government that's neither executive or legislative.
It's just kind of out there in limbo. Why? 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. Is anyone taking responsibility for the cash that we know is being funneled into you know nefarious purposes nobody in congress is being held responsible for it why because they did exactly what stew said i were just giving 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.
And then if the president doesn't have the power to say, wait a minute, you're not spending that money, then you can't even blame him. Who do you blame? Who's responsible for earmarking that money to go to those specific groups? 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.
That's what this is really all about. And when the people truly understand that and realize there is no check on the judicial branch, The judicial branch is supposed to just make the decisions.
No, that's not in the Constitution. But instead, we've changed all of these things through law.
Those laws are unconstitutional because they destroy the checks and balances of the three branches. But what are we going to do? We're going to be like the Democrats, just do it anyway.
Nope. We say to the president of the United States right now, 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. And then you wait for one of these people in the Supreme Court to die of natural causes.
Do you hear that, lefties? To die of natural causes. And then you find the biggest constitutional pit bull and you put them on the court.
That's the way Americans handle it. Back in just a second.
All right, Patriot Mobile. When does the left begin to get it? I don't think they are, and I don't think we tell them.
Okay, the radical stuff? That's not an occasional bug in their system. That is the feature.
They will find out when things finally hit their wallets, and Patriot Mobile is able to hit them in the wallet when you make the decision. They are on the same cell services.
They have the same coverage because they're on the same towers as all the big mobile companies. You know, the woke ones.
But Patriot Mobile is awake. They're not woke.
So if you want to stop sending your money to these woke companies that are just working against everything you believe in, now is the time to do it. And you'll save money and you'll get the same coverage and you'll get better service because everybody works here in America.
I don't know. It sounds pretty good.

Glenn Beck will be right back. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Well,ald trump is expected today to issue another executive order aimed uh at abolishing that's gonna make you sad the department of education oh no yeah now i know now unfortunately in this particular case you can't you can't just do that the executive order says well yes it's worded very much acknowledging that that yes 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 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. 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.
I want you to shut this thing down as tight as you possibly can, according to law, and that it's appropriate. What they codify wasn't it was it in the 90s wasn't it like late it was much later than i remember thinking remember yeah uh i have to look that up uh but uh because i mean reagan could have yeah he could have uh did it that way and he was 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 i think except for this president every president has been uh taught to pick your battles yeah don't do all of them that's true trump is like i want all the battles yeah he's like he doesn't care he does not care he's just taking all of the battles.
Yeah. Don't do all of them.
That's true. Trump is like, I want all the battles.

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. I mean, you know, you've obviously spent a decent amount of time with a guy over the years.
But, like, is this theory here, is he the type of thinker where he's saying, you know what? it's a different era

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 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 i think maybe part of his thinking i think um i think

Thank you. 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? I think maybe part of his thinking. I think that part of his thinking also is if I move fast enough.
See, like him cutting all of this, all of these things from USAID. And I mean, it's the reason why he did that big monologue in the middle of his speech the other day.
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.
That's to just keep hammering home. Your money is being wasted in just ridiculous and and and 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 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. Everybody's kept busy on so many fires, and he's building a case for the big ones every single day.
Yeah. I think he's broken this up into phases.
You're only seeing phase one. When he hits phase two, this is a guess.
When he hits phase two of this,

I think it's going to be

breathtaking. I think it's going to be

breathtaking. This is the

sleepy time?

He's got 100 days. He's 40

into it.

He's not going to slow down.

He's going to get faster.

It's a

thing to behold.

Today, we'll see what his executive order

I'm sorry. he's not going to slow down.
He's going to get faster. It's a thing to behold.
And today, we'll see what his executive order says, assuming he signs it today, but shutting down the Department of Education in every possible legal way. This is Glenn Beck.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

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.

And Trump and the last election were symptoms of something not the reason they were symptoms of what i want to explain coming up in just a second um let me first tell you about simply safe the thief has picked your home bummer no cars in the driveway looks pretty easy jimmy's open the back window climbs in quickly smile on his face i can't wait to see what's lying around this house. But then there's a voice, and it's not the voice of God.
But it's almost as scary because it is a live voice. It's SimpliSafe, a monitoring technician politely letting him know that we've already called police, and he's about to get a free ride all the way downtown.

And that is what we're waking up to.

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.

And it's all wrapped up in the collective denial of what is true and real. So let me, what is true and real? Have you noticed that the cowboy, the rugged West, is making a comeback? You see it in television.
You see it everywhere. It's making a comeback all of a sudden.
Why? And it's coming at the same time our politics are changing. So which is the chicken and which is the egg? The cowboy, this rugged West, Yellowstone, the TV Yellowstone or Taylor Sheraton and all of his many 800 shows that seem to be on television.
That's not what brought the cowboy back. It's not Kevin Costner on TV grumbling about the land and the legacy.
It's not it. It's deeper than that.
It's in some ways, it's that jagged spine of the Grand Tetons. 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? It is the untamed West.
But it's not that because that's a postcard. That's on a TV screen.
That's something that nobody in New York sees. It's something that people all over the country have never actually seen themselves.
But yet they have that thumping or humming in their chest. 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 you know the the press mainstream media they couldn't figure out yellowstone at all look at those crazy people i just want 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 or what she said. Sure, that played a role.
It was entertaining, but that's not what we felt. That was the noise.
What got underneath our skin was that there was justice to it. Not vigilante, not perfect, not polished, but there was justice.
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. It was a way of life that's worth planting your feet for.
The whole show is about the Duttons losing the ranch. Or is it? 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? And not something on a bumper sticker or slogan, but a heartbeat. Something that is deep in all of us.
And we feel it. 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. Those represent this, I guess, because it's the cowboy.
And what does the cowboy represent? A handshake that means something. A promise you don't break because your word is the only thing you own.
It's taking your hat off for a woman. It's saying, yes, ma'am.
No, sir. Because respect isn't optional.
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.

It's righting wrongs when the law is too slow or too blind to see what's what.

Afghanistan withdrawal comes to mind.

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.

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 and the grit of an American.

Then nothing's too big.

That's what the cowboy represents.

But it's more than just him.

I don't know how to describe it.

It's us.

It's in all of us.

It's who this land shaped us to be.

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.
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. Why do these explorers do what they do? 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, because of what God and this country made us.

It's simply who we are.

It's why the rest of the world never understands us.

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. It's what this land does to you.
The mountains, the plains, the rivers that cut through stone, they're not just pretty. I don't know about you, but they call to me.
They call to all of us. 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? Who can you be? No other country, no other people

can feel it like we do because this is our DNA. That's why I go to the mountains every chance I

can get. I love my ranch.
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. Yellowstone was not big on TV because it was a show.
It was big because it's a mirror. It is a funhouse mirror, and everybody else looked at the funhouse part.

It's all about what we've been missing.

It's what it was showing us.

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, look around the last six weeks. What is America doing? We're putting our boots back on.
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. 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. It doesn't matter.
You could be punching a clock in Cincinnati. It doesn't matter.
But the land, our way of life, our DNA is calling us back.

And thank God, we're listening. It is morning in America again.
And it comes again under the brim of a cowboy hat. but the guy who's

the one who

seems to be doing it all

he would look ridiculous in a cowboy hat, maybe as ridiculous as I look in a cowboy hat. He's a big city real estate broker from New York City that likely has never gone anywhere on horseback or climbed a mountain.
But 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 instead out of concrete and steel he built mountains that tear at that american sky he conquered what what we all thought was, you can't conquer that.

Mainstream media, 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.

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. The spirit of the West.
All humans feel this call to the ocean. I don't know what it is, but we all do.
For Americans, it's the same kind of call, but to something different. The West isn't a place, it's a feeling, it's a pull.
It's a 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.
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.
And that is what's roaring back. It's the spirit 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. 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.
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 that there are some things that are just bigger than you.
But you're big enough to meet them anyway. Yellowstone is, again, a mirror of us waking up.
It was already there. It was simmering.
It's always there. 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 in the wind.
It's the weight of a life lived on your terms and it is not dead. It is not gone.
It is rising again because the truth is it never really left us. 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, why can't people do it? We'll take it on. You're living in an American era again.
We are truly going to see the rebirth of a nation. Not in the boardrooms or the ballots, but first and foremost, in the dirt, in the sky, in the soul.
It's about a cowboy, an American cowboy coming home, not because he's lost, because finally, finally he remembered where he belongs. And we're all riding along with him, whether we know it or not.
Because no matter what the popular culture tells us, this is really who we are. We're fierce.
We're honorable. We're free.
We're unbroken. The sun just dipped down low and the shadows were stretching long.
But thank God America heard it whispering again, come back, come back home. 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.
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.

It's something you sprinkle on. It's the rough greens package, and it's a 90-day challenge that they're challenging you to right now.

10 seconds, Station ID. I can't wait to tell you today.
I think today is today Thursday. Yeah, today's Thursday.
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 because you've interviewed a lot of big, actually cool celebrities over the years in your previous life.
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. Please tell me you did it.
No, no, no, but it was, it was so weird. I was, I'm just, I don't know if it will show on the podcast, but it was like, I struggled through that one, but I really like him.
What's his vibe? Is he totally different than? No. Totally cool.
Totally cool and just doesn't give. Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. There's a, yeah.
Yeah. He just doesn't care.
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.

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.

I tried to get into that because yes and no.

OK.

And I said to him, you know, I don't feel comfortable repeating it because I mean people know it but you know i called him by his real name 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 i said to him so once in a while you'll let this guy come out and uh he's like i prefer not to talk about that and i said but which one is you which one 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 a part of him essentially yeah it's it's not a complete fabrication he's not playing a role Right, it's taking a part of him and ampl. Yeah.
It's not a complete fabrication. He's not playing a role.

Right.

It's just a part of him and amplifying it.

Turning himself way up to 11.

Yeah.

It's fascinating what he said.

I mean, we got out of the podcast and Ricky, the TV executive producer, she came up and she's like.

That's going to be newsmaking.

And I said, yes, what I said, because I was just sweating. I was just like, I, that's going to be newsmaking.
And I said, yes, that's what I said.

Because I was just sweating.

I was just like, I couldn't even hear what he was saying.

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. And kid was still standing there.

I went, really?

And he took it.

See this again. I was about to get beat up because I went, really? 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, please don't beat me up.
I didn't mean it that way. Right.
Anyway. Gosh, I'm such a loser at times.
Lots of times. Thank you.
But he said some things that, oh, I think are going to be newsworthy. Oh, really? Oh, interesting.
Oh, yeah. Can we get topics or general areas? He's taking somebody to dinner at the White House.
That if it happens, he said, invites there. Trump has already said yes.
If it happens, oh, it's going to be interesting. Oh, wow.

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 a part of a real grassroots movement that is reshaping Florida's educational landscape. They're not just talking about it.
They're doing it. they led a coalition of 17 different organizations in a legislative effort in Florida to protect our kids or the kids in Florida, at least from obscene materials in school.
Also made sure that parents had their oversight 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.
Secure your tickets now. You just go to go fl ca.org.
I'll be there tomorrow night. Go fl ca.org and stand with those who are fighting for our country's future.
You can also call them at two three nine two five zero thirty three twenty. All right.
Uh, Stu, there's a couple of things that, uh, make me happy.

And then. You can also call them at 239-250-3320.
All right. 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.
The filing doesn't make me happy, but him crying poor mouth does. Apparently, all his paintings burned down in the Palisades.
Oh, my gosh. Of all the palisades fires that's the real one i know and he said i'm not going to be able to you know make my uh child support i guess he's not gonna be able to do anything he can't find a house uh and he doesn't he has no place to live that's sad i don't understand what glenn he's made a lot of money.
His dad has made a lot of money. 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. Because anything he does criminal, he 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.
But, you know, artist crackheads aren't very good at saving money. They are always called starving artists.
But maybe, maybe somebody in this mysterious vaccine company that Biden gave $28 million to. Well, they achieved a lot, this company, right? Really? Did they? Yeah.
Because I can't find anything. It was run by his COVID advisor.
And of course, it was based out of a Maryland PO box. Well, that's what most, and a lot of people don't know this.
That's where most vaccine innovations occur.

Really? In PO boxes? Yeah. You have the BS1, BS2, BS3 level

facilities and then PO boxes.

That's the highest level of security.

BS3? Yeah. That's crazy.

That's crazy.

There's a lot of these, Glenn.

No, there's a lot of them. There's only, well,'s a lot of them there's only there's well there's this one the vaccine one for 26 million dollars which is enough right that's a massive scandal uh epa also gave a social justice group 20 million dollars to replace lead pipes and restore wetlands now that's a great goal they don't have any they don't they don't have any experience of doing any of those things.
That's not what they, they're a social justice group. They're not like plumbers or people that know anything about wetlands.
Social justice. Social justice.
They got $20 million. And of course, you know, Stacey Abrams.
I mean, who doesn't think she deserved $2 billion? I don't think there's a problem there. Well, they had raised previously $100.
Right. So they were showing growth.
They went from zero to 100. Do you know what that looks? At that pace.
Right. You look at the chart, it goes zero, 100, 2 billion.
Right. I mean, that's growth.
That is a... It's real, real growth.
I think she's going to go to jail. Hmm.
I don't. Do we have the conservative board? I'm not.
Do not put poor music on when he's talking about Stacey Abrams. Do not.
You know what? I take it back. He's right.
Thank you. He's right.
First time today. I don't know if she's going to jail.
You know, again, my guess is they did this illegally. This is the problem with our...
You funneled $2 billion to Stacey Abrams, and you think... I do.
...that that can be proven to be legitimate? Legitimate is a totally different word than the word I used. I used the word legal.
and my guess is and this is a problem that uh the trump administration should exploit to point out to people this is in our system all the time this is not just because i feel like when you go out and you get oh you charge dacey abrams i think there's an example i think uh 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 the stuff.

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. 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. It's all been

your tax dollars funneled to these

organizations all over the world. Yeah, and this is

how they extend

their lives and power.

Yes. Because if you think about it this way, let's

just take a really

charitable view of this for Good word. Charitable.
Because all of it seems to be happening in the charitable world. You know, I'm choosing my words carefully.
Yes. Particular.
Good. Good.
Let's just say, OK, 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. Right.
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. And you 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 not not constitutional enough we need another cl Clarence Thomas or six.

People who actually know what the Constitution means.

Anyway, go ahead.

I would tend to agree with that.

Yeah.

But so you, you know, you are Stacey Abrams.

You're going to dump money towards the environmental one.

I can't remember which one.

What was the $2 billion?

Does it matter?

Does it matter?

That's a good question.

Stacey Abrams probably says she's interested in the environment.

Fairness of elections, whatever it is. You think it's a worthy cause.
You have come up with 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.
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.
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.
So this is where they go until the next election. 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. 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 any state university all these universities are either getting money directly from your taxes or uh they're getting it in tax breaks but that's another human launder system they just take these people and launder them in through education 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 it's it's it's it is really despicable and disgusting yeah and and it's going to be really i'm telling you right now there before AI goes bad and kills us all, it's going to get really amazing. There's something in the Bible about where all secrets will be shouted from the rooftops.
We're about to see that. We're about to enter a time where you don't have any secrets, nor do they.
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.
You know, that's one thing that everyone's like, you're so good at connecting the dots. I never saw this in this relay.
Oh, you will. You will.
You'll find them. You won't need people like me.
You'll find them. 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.

They're just so freaked out.

They don't know what to do.

They've got to keep this going.

They know they're in trouble because they've set up a secondary government that just kept them in power all the time.

And it's going to be exposed. And I hope it is.
It seems like we're at least learning about it, whether they can do anything to it, whether there are. M.
Bondi does not investigate or Kash Patel doesn't investigate,

and then turn it over for prosecution if it rises to that level.

Sure.

And she doesn't go after these people with guns a-blazing.

And 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, go to jail. If they're guilty of breaking the law and abusing our money and our trust, they should go to jail.
Period. I don't care who they are.
That will be the thing that will restore our country. I just was talking about why was Yellowstone so popular? Because there was justice.
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.
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? Because there was an honor system to that.
You don't do that. Hey, you didn't touch my family.
Okay? It put family first in a very distorted, horrible way, but it had its own code of ethics and honor.

That's the same thing with the Dutton family. And there is no honor in any of this.
And so if Donald Trump can use Pam Bondi and Kash 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.
They already have the constitutional power to do this. But if they have, excuse me, the balls to do it, 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? 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. Okay.
They might have Mexico is great because of our traditions, because of our family. But when it comes to their government, you think they like that? Do you think they're like, oh, you know what? 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.
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 Kash Patel have the chance to actually set us straight. All right, back in just a minute.
So the Trump administration has dismissed a bin lawsuit against the state of Idaho. So hopefully now they can enforce the post Roe versus Wade restrictive abortion laws.
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. The left's quest to enshrine abortion, one of the worst practices that man has ever done.
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 Preborn understands really well.

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.

But then there's another thing that stops, and you'd be amazed at how simple these things are.

One woman said, I don't have a car to go to the doctor's office. 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. You'll take a used car.
I don't care. I just, I just, I can't do what I have to do with the bus.
I can't do it with three kids. Okay.
We got you a used car. It's a beater, but we got it and it's dependable.
Are you kidding me? Yes. I want to keep the baby.
It's that basic. One ultrasound is $28.
$140 helps rescue five babies. When you donate money monthly, you're going to receive the stories and the pictures of the lives you've helped save.

welcome to the program letnik has come out and said uh there might be a tariff reprieve on not just autos but a lot of things with the canadian Canadian and Mexican tariffs. And if that's how this turns out, a few days of some pain, but we got what we wanted, I'm fine with that.
Yeah. Good with that.
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 they have to match our work on our borders did you see that did you see mexico closing the border and they put this they took there at the highway they have these giant gates and they pulled these giant gates out and they're like they've had a fence the whole time i mean i 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. 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, already had reciprocal tariffs in it.
Like, we already had that before all of this um the fentanyl thing again is a real issue when you're talking about mexico and canada a very small percentage of it comes in from canada it's still an issue we have a lot of chinese and we have a lot of terror coming in yeah it's an issue and i'm not saying it's not though again i you know i i mean them upping their efforts would be great they did up their efforts but he's saying you've got to they were doing a lot of that okay you're right you're right you're right they're they're they're couching it yeah they're saying they're saying and that's the point and he's saying look you've got to get serious about your borders uh otherwise we're gonna have to spend all this money on what you should be doing because it's good for you, too. So play ball.
This is Glenn Beck. Imagine your wife sitting in the car at the gas pump.

You're just grabbing some snacks and a drink she wanted. And you glance outside and you see him figure in the hood moving with purpose toward her.
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. And now it's in her hands.
She aims, she fires, and a cloud of pepper spray or tear gas burst 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. 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, she's a woman with a gun, but it's not a life-taking

gun. She may be rattled, but she's whole.

This is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
Yesterday I was with Kid Rock because he made an announcement that he is in a partnership with PBR and the rodeo. He's got the new Rockin' Rodeo that he has partnered with.
He's going to be at the World Finals at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Yesterday we were at the Coliseum.
If you've never been to Fort Worth, I mean, it is the place to go. 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. It's fantastic.
It is a slice of America and the American West. 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.
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. I mean, what are you going to do? 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 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. 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.
You're going to, you're one of a really good one. The one that knows your market, knows the best practices.
And over a decade ago, I started a company called Real Estate Agents I Trust. 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. Somebody who really knows those best practices, somebody who understands the crazy housing market, somebody who's a team leader, a closer, and somebody like you, 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, realestateagentsitrust.com. That is realestateagentsitrust.com.
The PBR is a professional bull riders association. And I have tell you if, if you have never been to a rodeo, I went to the Coliseum probably 10 years ago when I first moved to Dallas, Fort Worth.
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? It's not like that anymore. But they they'd never been to a rodeo and as soon as the kids got on the back of the sheep they all what they immediately began looking for attorneys they were like this kid you can't do that yes you can can't in New York but everywhere else in the country that happens Sean welcome to the program how are you glad to be on Glenn yeah good to see you.
Yesterday, you were with Kid Rock. You made a big announcement.
Yep. Yeah, we, you know, we started this last year.
We had the Kid Rocks Rock and Rodeo that we added and paired with the PBR World Finals. It's Rodeo Reimagined.
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.
Drag race style? Yeah, horse race style. I have to tell you, there is, I was with, last summer, 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 a real man's you know whatever he'd 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 uh in their special the highest level of their special forces the gate opened and the first 10 seconds went by and he looked at me and he said why haven't i been here before i mean totally changed that it's amazing what these guys do it is and i mean you think about it and at one point in time rodeo was the only sport in america right and it's amazing to me after 26 years of travel in this country, just how 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. And so I've had the good fortune to travel this country back and forth from Madison Square Garden to L.A.
and teach people a little bit about it. So do you guys go into Los Angeles and those areas? Downtown, crypto.com.
Shut up. We sold out three nights at Madison Square Garden in January just a couple months ago.
Was it mainly attorneys? No. Well, it might be.
Friday night is weird. People ask me all the time, what is your demo? And I'm like, well, if you go to New York City, Friday night is a bunch of suits that come out and they're looking for a good time.
Saturday is women between the ages of 25 and 40 that are looking at cowboys in tight jeans. 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 urban places like New York that haven't seen it in a long, long time. You know, I saw a story.
We did a story on something where some kids were, you know, a mom, this is what it was, A mom was arrested for letting her kid go across the street from his house at eight or ten years old and just play. And the cops came to her and arrested her for child neglect.
Yeah. Crazy.
And I read a story and this is how much we have changed. And this is I really think this is the the spirit of the rodeo.
So 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 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. They went by themselves.
It took them three months to get to Washington, D.C. 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.
But nobody was saying that irresponsible you know it's just it's just so

different now i know i mean you know some people would like us all to wear bubble suits i guess we put people we put you know 150 pound cowboys on the backs of bulls and uh and pay them millions of dollars to do it and some people have criticized that and said we shouldn't allow that it's it's individual choice But it also is, I mean, it's not a sport that is just played for sport. You know, when you see the cowboys go out and they rope the cattle, 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 the way those horses anticipate uh and and move with the rider and i mean it's it's incredible to watch yeah i mean cowboys fed america for a long long time that's where it was born out here in the west and you know they had to it was the greatest cultural melting pot too if you think about it because it was freed freed blacks from the east it was um irish immigrants that couldn't find work they hooked up with native americans and the mexican vaqueros and they created the cowboy and they depended on one another they lived on the trail trail and they drove those cattle back and forth and fed the East Coast. And it's one of the great stories of cultural diversity and hard work, honesty, integrity, values.
I mean, it's. People don't.
People have no idea who Bill Pickett is anymore. Yeah.
But he was a black man. He was probably of the famous most famous black men in the 1920s in all of america that guy that guy was amazing uh and the things that he would do the um what did he call bulldogging right yeah is what he invented yep and he 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.
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.
That's the story I've heard, too. 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.
And that's how bulldogging started. That's insane.
That's insane. You know, we're pretty proud.
We have a partnership with Bill Pickett. And 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. Two weeks ago, sold out Cowtown for Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo.
I heard that. I was talking to the guy who's running Cowtown now, and that is the arena in Fort Worth.
And he said like 274 nights of rodeo sold out. Yeah.
I mean, it is crazy. Yeah, we actually do a PBR event every Thursday.
Rodeo's Friday and Saturday. Bill Pickett occasionally when their tour permits.
And 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 i was living in new york and i was on cnn uh to my shame but i was on cnn and uh i used to say all the time look i don't know what i'm doing uh you know i'm a rodeo clown and in trying to tell you the news.
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? And I, you know, I hadn't been to a rodeo in 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.
You watch these rodeo clowns. How often are they killed? Not often killed because they're pretty damn good at what they do.
They're fearless. They're fearless.
But, you know, we no disrespect to the rodeo clowns organization. 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. They face every bowl, 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. 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.

So let me ask you, you're using the Coliseum in Fort Worth coming up.

When is that happening?

May 8th.

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. 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.
And I mean, it's Texas, man. What are you thinking? Everybody's got a gun in Texas.
Anyway, so you've moved it to a much smaller venue. You've got to be losing money on that like crazy.
Well, we also took the finals to AT&T Stadium, which is the largest venue on the planet. So we have both the smallest and the largest venue.
But yeah, it's actually- You took it there? That's true and i've run into that twice in my career now and one was in charlotte north carolina where uh 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.

And that was the color guard from the U.S. Border Patrol.
Have you checked on? I think it's illegal. It's illegal.
Right, right. You have a badge and you are a law enforcement.
They're federal law enforcement officers. And so that's what bugs me is the disrespect that was given to the U.S.
Border Patrol with them not recognizing that they could disarm the local Charlotte or Fort Worth police officers. The guy in the shack who has, what, is making $8 an hour? They could arrest them and charge them with obstruction of justice, basically.
I mean, or a failure to allow a federal officer to do their job. Any policeman with a badge, any current law enforcement.
Especially on the federal level. And on the federal level, it's illegal to take their gun.
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. It's shocking.
From that building, it's shocking. Shocking.
It's unfortunate. You know why they did it? I don't.
Most of the time, it's a building policy. I get it, and they're in place to protect the patrons that are there.
It's a federal agent. 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. Well, I can't wait.
I can't wait. My family and I will be there.
And we just love it. And I love the addition of Kid Rock.
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.
So if you go to Houston, nothing against Houston, but it's 21 days of concerts that are preceded by a rodeo. And people have become accustomed to showing up a little late not really hanging out

for the whole rodeo because they're waiting for it they're waiting for whatever artist is is

coming up at the in the evening show and we've never at the pbr i've never allowed uh the pbr

to be an opening act for anybody why are you doing it with kid because when i he and i sat

and envisioned this whole plan i said we have to change the paradigm on how entertainment

I'm going to go ahead and we've integrated his performance pre during and post and so it's not an opening act it's all one show 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 and then over years the 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 it wrecked it or the sport yeah you know sport itself. And our athletes go through too much and are too committed to being professionals to allow them to be overshadowed by the music act or another form of entertainment.
Sort of like the Kamala Harris rallies from this most recent campaign. Exactly right.
Throwing Beyonce on the stage and they all leave. They didn't care about her.
They didn't care about her. Yeah.
But I will tell you, Rodeo, if you've never been to one, you've got to go. It's remarkable.
And I will tell you, kid, I said this to kid yesterday and he's like, right. I said, 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.
I don't know. There is something about that that is just...
Horseback carrying the red, white, and blue. Beautiful.
It just doesn't get any better. It doesn't.
And they usually have on shiny outfits with some fringe on them. I feel a little kind a little kind of dirty looking at it.
Like, that's beautiful. But it is.
It's beautiful. It's the greatest sight in America.

The Kid Rock interview comes out today, and you don't want to miss it. I can't wait.
Yeah, he was amazing. He was just playing golf with Elon Musk and Donald Trump last Sunday.
We talked about that. A strange sentence that was right.
Kid rock, Donald Trump and Elon Musk on a golf course. That's the beginning of a joke.
And you, I mean, when he talks about Elon Musk, it's, it's wild. It is wild.
Does he go into the Bud Light stuff at all? You talk about that? You know what? No, I forgot to ask him that. Oh, my gosh.
Damn it. I knew there was something.
I'm like, I'm missing something. I'm missing something.
And I didn't. Ah, no, I didn't ask him that.
I should have. Because it was an interesting thing.
If I remember right, obviously, he came out and he shot the cans. Oh, yeah.
It was kind of the big start of that. And then later on, it kind of was like, you know, like, maybe the punishment has already exceeded the crime type of situation.
I can answer the question.

You know, you never ask a question that you're not pretty

sure you know the answer to.

So I know the answer.

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.

And sometimes it means, okay, let's move on past this scar.

I don't know if I agree with him on that one.

Yeah, I kind of do.

I kind of feel like.

I do if Anheuser-Busch would have come out and said, whoa, wow.

Their actions indicated at least they very much wanted people to believe that was their reaction I read the book on the Bud Light madness and Anheuser Bush no I don't even need people to agree with me on saying things though I just want them to just make their products I really really do. Me too.

Anheuser-Busch is no longer that company.

This is Glenn Beck.

Alright.

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.

Imagine how many, if the power ever goes out,

I mean, the grid goes down. Imagine how many people are going to be jonesing.
I mean, it's going to be an insane asylum if we have to go like three days without the phones. You're sipping coffee, you're running the fridge, maybe even firing up popcorn because tonight's movie night at your house.

It's kind of like, I don't think people understand the athleticism of a NASCAR or an F1 driver. You are an athlete.
Sure. You know what I mean? Much more than the Canadians brushing the ice with the stones.
Curling's pretty challenging. But the same thing, I don't think people understand.
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 salaries.
Some of them aren't. Some of the big ones are doing pretty well.
But I don't know how you put your body through that. And when you see them, they're riding the bull.
They just need eight seconds. Eight seconds.
And when you can't stay in a bull for eight seconds, and then you fall off, and you fall off while the back end of the bull is up, and and you fall off and you're down now underneath where the hooves are going to come back down. I, I, I, I just don't understand it, but that is as impressive.
And, and maybe in some ways less impressive because it happened so fast. Then the rider and the horse, these horses.
You know, I remember saying to somebody like 10 years ago, you know, I go up. I'm all hat and no cattle.
I mean, I own a ranch. I have 100, 150 maybe tops at some point when all the calves are grown up uh that's what i have for cattle but i 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 gotta rustle up them cattle and i go you know go inside and I read a book or something.
But when you see, I remember saying about 10 years ago, 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 race horse.
These horses, you know, the best horses are trained with buffalo. You know, because what they have to do is they have to, when you're rounding up cattle, you've got a whole bunch of them.
I tried to do it myself in a four-wheeler. My cow, I was just told, just get that cow back here.
And I'm like, okay, I'll do that. I get in.
My cow ended up at a mountaintop with 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 every time i get in front of him he'd go someplace 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 these horses will come in and they will trap to try to get them with the herd 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 uh 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 um you know i mean it's it's uh i grew up in connecticut so there wasn't a ton of rodeo stuff that i didn't do it's a really buffy did come over once in a while we rode it hot and hard anyway uh kid 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 how did you get to rodeo listen what he said so we're here at uh because you're starting something with pbr and the rodeo yeah kid rock's rocking rode, I mean, you grew up in Detroit. There are not a lot of rodeos in Detroit.
No, zero. The Motown rodeo, nothing happened.
I like the ring of that, though. What, what, what? You know, I grew up, I grew up north of Detroit.
We had six acres, a couple horses, you know, beautiful home, beautiful spread and all that. So no, it was far from growing up as a cowboy or rodeo.
Although, you know, my parents were into that stuff. They used to go like to watch this fiddle player, Sneaky Pete, this little dirt floor place and, you know, Dad liked to ride his horse and things like that.
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.

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.
It's kind of badass. 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. until I got the president of the Rodeo Clown Association,

wrote to me and said,

do you know what rodeo clown. I'm just a rodeo clown.
Until I got 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.
I mean, it is really bad-ass to use your language. And it's, 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 cowboys and that whole lifestyle, cowgirls, they're just tough people.
I mean, just the way they live, they work so hard, the way they raise their families, the way they love this country. To me, that's tough.
Let me go to the next clip because we talked about also how, let me use the word not tough, not word he chose how not tough america has become which one is that again the younger one no that's the after 60 born 65 okay 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 i don't think i can use that language uh it's language that i use but i don't know if it's even legal to use that language uh on this particular word because it is perfect you'll have to hear it in the podcast is a perfect word uh on how he describes what we become and you know we used to 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 and we don't allow kids to be stupid anymore and i think this goes uh to what we have been in the last 20 years.

It's such a tough thing as a parent, though.

That's what he said.

Oh, really?

Yeah, he said.

That's interesting.

You know, I hate, 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, 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 that's exactly what he said and then we both pounced on those those thoughts you are oh what's that is like though i think i know and totally you know we've talked about this before in that uh what are they free range parenting yeah yeah And it's like, you know, 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 i also know that it's safer now than it ever was i know i mean the stat that was blows me away uh and thankfully not literally uh was that there were more school deaths by school shooting when I was in high school than today by a big margin. It's not even close.
And you're like, wait a minute. What? That was before Columbine.
That's because they were a different style of school shooting. They were more like a couple people would get hit and there would be fights.
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.
But when it comes to actual deaths of shootings in high schools, it was more common then. So let me ask you something.
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 that's a very

long road oh it's a very long road but i got there you did i don't know how but you got there

no because it's like because 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.

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.

But like when it comes down to making those decisions.

You become a wuss.

Well, I mean, again, I think we started this with you guys both agreeing at this point. 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 oh okay that's why don't ever argue with a host he always wins i forgot yeah what do you got the control of the microphone right uh but i do like i have to make myself allow those situations i have like it's not natural enough enough to, I don't think, 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, 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, okay.
But 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.
You'll learn your lesson, kid. That's right.
He also talked about P. Diddy.
Oh. Uh-huh.
Listen to this. It's dirty and it's evil.
It's the most... Why do you say it say it that way? it's just full of scoundrels and scumbags rip off con artists I mean what business let's take a record company what business basically they give you a loan now of course they do promotion and artist development and things like that but when you break it down to brass tacks, kind of giving you a loan.
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, 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. 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, they were charging artists for years. Like when records were out, certain percentage of those records would get broke in transit.
Makes sense. 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. Look at the black artists when they started.
You know the tales there. Look at the payoffs, you know, if you've ever read any of the books of the payola for radio.
The way these awards shows work, the Grammys and the Oscars are such horse s***. But you use the word evil, and when you said that, I think of P.
Diddy. Is that real? I have no idea.
Never got in a fight. Do you think it's real? I think there was some, if I had to take an educated guess, there's some freaky stuff going on.
Is freaky stuff illegal? No. Involved children? Screw you.
You know, if there's certain, you know, I don't know. That's the Epstein thing.
I don't know if it's... Yeah, when do we get to see that list? Ask Pam.
I know. Ask Pam.
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. But there's something collectively, I think, in our universal mind that we're like, something's wrong.
There are there's the marketing and selling of children for sex. 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.

You know, I wondered when he said that, I was like, Medieval Times,

I mean, do you want a big drumstick to watch that?

I don't even understand.

Anyway, it's Kid Rock.

It is a great, great podcast.

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. And it's quite a wild ride.
But, I mean, it's Kid Rock. The podcast comes out tonight for everybody on Blaze TV.

All right. Let me talk to you about American financing.
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. 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. 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? I know you probably think I've tried everything.
It's a tricky map to navigate. And I know, I mean, I felt this way many times in my life.
Trapped, no way out. And I avoid it.
Don't. For over two decades, American Financing has been helping people just like you, even if you think you won't qualify, even if you think I've tried everything.
Please just call them. American Financing, you might be surprised at options you didn't even know you had, from mortgage refis to other forms of debt consolidation, even accessing the high equity that you have in your home to pay off the high interest debts.
American Financing is saving people in this audience who are going to American Financing and calling them. If they do business with them, they're saving over $800 every single month.
It could be you. American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.
It's AmericanFinancing.net. NMLS 182334, NML's got a road map.

Straight off a cliff.

Let's take the right trail.

Glenn Beck returns shortly.

Welcome to the uh glenbeck program uh if you are watching us on blaze tv if you become a member of blaze tv uh you you can get into chat and we're watching you know what people are saying oh yeah we are watching you um everybody's developing friendships and everything else But let me just give you some comments. You know, earlier today, we are watching you.
Everybody's developing friendships and everything else, but let me just give you some comments. Earlier today, I talked about Trump wanting to end the Department of Education and DB 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.
And that's not what he's, he's issuing issuing an executive order supposedly today 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 a law that we're creating this agency and we're funding it.
So whatever it is that they have to fund, he's going to have to keep open. 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. 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.

This is Glenn Beck.
