Eastern, yes, Glenn. Okay, thank you very much.
Right after a brand new Stew Does America. Oh, my gosh.
Well, it's not exactly after. It's about half an hour after it ends ends but tune in a little bit early okay watch that and then watch the show all right so uh i just uh i i have to start here because this is the thing that is our biggest problem and it is i was going to say this but i want to be very It's old people, but it's old people that will not leave Congress or the Senate.
It's not all old people. Donald Trump is an old guy, but he's not acting like it and he's not thinking like it.
Mitch McConnell is an old guy who has old think, if he can't even think. Somebody in his office is thinking old.
Let's put it that way so uh he represents kentucky obviously mitch mcconnell uh wrote in the washington post uh every time congress faces a government funding deadline washington reminds itself that shutdowns are worth avoiding this is familiar in an all too frequent conversation um he uh he goes on to say today we're closer than ever on making uh ignoble history on the front of budgets tomorrow's challenges and we owe it to our men in uniform and our taxpayers to be honest about the consequences consumer goods aren't the only things that have grown more expensive in recent years in times of high inflation governance without updated appropriation means diminished Pentagon buying power, forcing the U.S. military to equip itself for the next year's threat at this year's prices.
Even as fresh eyes comb the Pentagon for new efficiencies and cost savings, effective military acquisitions continue to require multi-year runways. A truly clean full year continuing resolution would at the level set for 2024 would mean no new starts on critical programs that the military needs okay he goes on and on and on about how the pentagon just needs more money we just have to spend more more more on more more more for the pentagon so i would like to respond with my own op-ed.

Dear Senator McConnell, your call for more Pentagon spending is as tone deaf as it is reckless. The United States, I don't know if you know this, already spends more on its military than the next nine countries combined.
We spent $877 billion last year alone, dwarfing China, Russia, and the entire EU's collective defense budgets. All of those nine countries, and they're the big nine.
And then us, and we still dwarf them. I don't know.
You need more need more money why is why are you so worried about china if they don't have all this money and yet here you are clamoring for more as if throwing cash at an outdated war machine is somehow or another going to secure our future the world has changed senator and your priorities are stuck in your time, country time era. Aircraft carriers, those floating behemoths that you and the Pentagon so dearly love, are relics of the past.
In the next real conflict, they'll be as useless as horses were in World War I. speaking of which, let me just give you the stats on the horses because it's going to be applicable to the aircraft carriers the next time we really go to war.
When Europe entered World War I, they had 25 million horses. By 1918, 15 million of them were dead.
Why? Because they were mowed down and slaughtered by machine guns and tanks that ran over them because they couldn't outrun them. That's the fate awaiting, Mr.
McConnell. Boy, I would love to start calling you Mr.
That is the fate awaiting your aircraft carriers.

Sunk by hypersonic missiles or swarms of really cheap $500 AI-driven drones.

That'll happen before they can even launch a jet.

The 1950s called Senator and they want their war plans back. The future isn't in steel and jet fuel.
It's in artificial intelligence and unfortunately artificial super intelligence. Every dollar spent on yesterday's hardware today is a dollar wasted in three years when AGI upends everything we know about warfare.
Worse, with the Pentagon's track record, every dollar spent today will balloon into two or three dollars of inflation tomorrow, thanks to the House and the Senate's obscene spending spree. We're drowning in thirty four trillion dollars of national debt.
That's 128% of GDP, a level unseen since World War II. A level unseen since World War II.
Annual deficits are now $1.7 trillion. That's what they were in 23.
Interest payments alone are projected to go over $1 trillion this year or early next. I don't know about anybody else, but those numbers aren't sustainable.
It's a fiscal time bomb. And yet you want to shovel more taxpayer money into the Pentagon that hasn't passed a single audit in its history? Six attempts since 2018.
Six failures. Trillions of dollars unaccounted for.
Waste so rampant it defies comprehension. I'm sorry, Senator.
It's irresponsible bordering on criminal to suggest more spending when they can't even count the cash they have.

When will you people in Washington wake up?

The real threat isn't just from abroad, although those dangers are profound.

It's from within.

The call is coming from inside the house. In fact, it's from within the call is coming from inside the house in fact it's not just the house it's also coming from the senate senator your refusal to adapt is jeopardizing our security more than any foreign adversary could i don't know has anybody seen the drone shows that china does you know on their

whatever fourth of july they seem to do it like 700 times a day or a week i i don't know why they do but they have these drone shows thousands of synchronized lights that are just painting the sky making things move have you seen them land ever on these giant open fields and they just keep coming down like an invasion thousands of these drones now senator i want you to listen carefully i'll speak slowly so you and well you won't hear it but your staff will hear it imagine those aren't fireworks or for a show, but weaponized drones, each one really cheap, precise, and networked by AI. A single network with AI, a single swarm could cripple our planes, ships, tanks, and troops before we ever load a gun.
Ukraine's drone wars have already shown the reality. $500 drones taking out $10 million tanks.
Senator, that is the future that we're staring down right now. And you're still polishing Cold War relics? Here's what I want the president to say today.

Freeze every bloated project.

And I'm talking specifically about the Pentagon.

Redirect everything, every dime, every mind toward winning the AI-ASI race.

You know how I feel about that.

It scares the living bat crap out of me, but you know what's worse? Us not leading. This is the only battlefield that matters now.
We've got enough stockpiles of dusty old stuff to handle any foreseeable war in the next two to three years. We also have a president, if you people in Congress would understand what he's doing,

fighting to end the conflicts, not start more of them.

Your plea for more spending isn't just misguided.

It is an absolute betrayal of the American people who are sinking under debt and inflation

while you chase ghosts of wars past. Or is that what you're doing? I mean, I might have buried the lead here, Senator, but well, let's see if anyone else listens to the following stats and they think maybe this op-ed was being written not for the American people and probably not by you but probably by somebody who hasn't lost their mind to dementia yet who works in your office listen to these stats your, Kentucky, it's 45th in GDP per capita.

It's 44th in employment. It's 42nd in high school diplomas.
And yet it's 11th in defense-related contract spending. Hmm.
So, Senator, may I just ask you, who are you really concerned about? The safety of the American people or the people you funneled millions, if not billions of dollars to over the years? Haven't you done them enough favors? What do you say you give it a rest? Because thanks, but no thanks on spending more money with the Pentagon. What if you wake up tomorrow and the old world we've known is over? Somebody attacks our nation's power grid with an EMP.
All of a bye bye okay this i mean today is difficult to survive even with electricity uh but how much trouble are we in if something like that would happen well you always have to prepare for the worst and that is the worst case scenario most likely i mean did you hear that justin trudeau said you want tariffs we'll start cutting down the power supply running to america oh yeah yeah you do that give us rolling blackouts yeah you will be the 51st state anyway um there's a lot of things that you need to be prepared for and my patriot supply has just released their just released their new Grid Doctor 3300.

I don't know.

It doesn't really go together.

I don't know.

Get your tickets now.

If you're in Florida, I'm going to be there in Florida on Friday.

Like you need to know that go flca.org go flca.org and stand with those who are fighting for our country's future you can purchase tickets on the phone too at 239-250-3320 we'll see you there friday what a coincidence you started your mitch mcconnell monologue with go f but then it went a different direction.
It went a different direction. Yeah, it was a little different.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, see you there Friday.
What a coincidence. You started your Mitch McConnell monologue with go F, but then it went a different direction.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Uh, now do you feel bad beating up on a man who's just a few months away from retirement? He's already announced he's leaving and you're going after him like that. It's sad.
No, I do have one, uh, question for you, because I, I with you want to fraud and waste and abuse to go away. I don't, i think we spend a lot of money on our military and a lot of it's not directed the proper way no but with your concern and i think very valid concern that you've laid out many times about uh ai and drones and all these things you know is this the time to cut spending to the pentagon with that type of threat on the board board? Let me just say, how many drones, $500 drones could we buy with a billion dollars? I'm not a mathematician, but several.
Several. Over 10.
Yeah, over 10. Over 10.
Double digits at least. Right.
I just think that because AI is going to change everything, we're going to hit AGI and ASI and we'll hit it. Artificial general intelligence and artificial super intelligence.
When we hit super intelligence, we're going to say, because we always war plan. Always.
We do these little things. It will be able to war plan for us without us doing any exercises.
It's just going to say we're going to say, what's the best, most effective way to conquer China is should we go to war? And it will lay it out for you. And I can guarantee you it's not going to be like, well, what you do is you move your aircraft carriers.
It's going to think out of the box and it's going to think unlike people have ever thought before. So every dollar we're spending right now, it's like it's like, you know, Henry Ford's family.

When, you know, he was just starting the assembly line going, yeah, I know dad's doing a lot of stuff, but I'm building new buggies. I think we should double down on the buggy industry.
We don't know what the car of the future is going to be, so to speak, in war. We have no idea, but we are so close to it.
Why would we spend any money on anything other than the race to AI as asi why why would we we could get there and we could go oh crap we shouldn't have done any of that but so you just stop innovating in the military until asi is here what's what's the way i think we can we can you you just shouldn't spend a trillion dollars on ideas. Right.
Okay? Let's shore ourselves up in the short run. But no need to launch that big program on the F54 or whatever number we're up to.
No need. How do your friends get their vacation houses? That's a problem.
That is a problem I haven't been able to solve. Yeah, you solved that right right i do think like i i because i'm with you i think there's enough my my thought is there's enough in the military that you can um cut and redirect and still save money right like and and that i think i'm for i'm concerned about the military's focus being efficiency however like i don't think when you're developing some, I mean, Star Wars is the example of that from the Reagan days, right? Like, when you're trying to develop something like that, if you're counting every single dollar, your focus is not the lethality, as Pete Hegseth's talked about, of what you're trying to do.
We should not have the private sector count any dollar right now on AI. Right now, the Pentagon should be watching the private sector on AI.
DARPA is already involved, okay? So we know the government is already involved in all of this and very, very well aware. And they will adapt quickly.
But we should not be building old systems.

We should be spending our money building server farms, power plants.

That is the future.

That's the future.

Not another aircraft carrier or a newly designed plane.

You want to talk about, you know, do you see the big plane that went down?

What was it? FedEx or UPS? Big plane that went down over the weekend. Bird strike.
Okay. Gigantic plane.
It didn't go down. It had to land, but it was on fire.
Yes. So bird strike.
Imagine what 500 drones could do. You don't even have to put explosives.
You just swarm the plane in the sky and it's down. Yep.
Stop it. Stop right now.
Everything is about to change. And that should not just go for the Pentagon.
That should go for every business in America. The future is not coming.
It's here. This is Glenn Beck.
You know what's missing from your day big sigh of relief you know i mean one of those things where you're like with all the uh news and the turmoil that's going around the united states and abroad you would be wise if you plan ahead and work to secure your own economic future and the uh economic future of your family i'm going to talk to uh Roth here in a minute. She's going to show you what this means that our GDP estimate is down 2.8%.
That's really bad. That's not good news.

address to Congress since his return to the White House. We're having 47 bucks off Blaze TV.
Go to BlazeTV.com slash Glenn. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
uh we're just talking about spending, and I want to talk about who creates jobs, what's happening with the economy. We're going to get into that here in a second.
But Stu, when we went off the air here in the commercial break, he was like, I don't know if I agree with you on what I'm saying is freeze all of the big spend. Do not start any new airplane design at the Pentagon.
That is a 10 year contract that most likely will be a waste of money because AGI and ASI is coming and that will change everything. it will change warfare.
Just will drones. Five hundred dollars each have already changed warfare.
We have to be preparing for the future. And that future is much more nimble, much smaller.
And I have a feeling much cheaper. Are you concerned about a bridge here, though? And we don't know when this is coming.
We don't know how it's going to to develop we don't know what it's going to look like no one does um so you know we still need that best planes while planes are important right but we don't need to start any new fix what we have you know finish what you've got in production uh but you don't need to sit down and okay a new design for a new fighter jet it's a big bet though i mean you're making a big bet on asi and agi with no backup plan i mean why wouldn't you want to have still the best planes in your arsenal i i think you know look let's let's look at it this way our generation's manhattan project is ai asi back when FDR was convinced by Einstein, he didn't believe it could happen, okay? And Einstein came in and said, I'm from Germany, they'll do it. And so he convinced him, go ahead, build this bomb.
It was magical. Nobody knew that we could even get there.
You know, we had split the atom the atom but what does that mean can we actually make a bomb that will work we put everything we had into it and we continue to build planes and everything else because we were currently fighting a war and we didn't know if that would happen up until the very last moment when they said, dear God, what have we done? OK, this generation, it's going to end the same way in three to five years, except this time we know it's going to happen. Almost everybody who is a naysayer on ASI, almost all of them are now saying, oh, dear God, yes, it's coming.
And it's coming much faster than we thought. It will be here by 2030.
Most likely, it'll be here in the next three years. Now, if that time continues to collapse, I mean, just in the last five years, it's gone from 2050, maybe, to now 2028, 2029.
If that continues to collapse like that, we're at the event horizon of the singularity. So we know it's going to happen.
Our job is to just bridge the gap as much as possible, but don't build things that we don't know are going to. Here's what our Pentagon should be doing right now.
Building nuclear power plants. Our Army Corps of Engineers should be building those little teeny nuclear power plants.
Build as many as they possibly can. You don't even have to start them up yet.
Just have them ready to go. So when the server farms are ready, when everything, when AI is there, there we can power it we won't have the power to be able to have asi think and effect we have to start thinking towards the future not what's the next generation of fighter jet look like there ain't gonna be one dude there's just not at least with a person in it right because it's still gonna have i mean ai is going to probably come up with something that flies that is going to it's going to be hypersonic and it is i mean it might even be of a new material here's what people don't understand asi is going to look at the periodic table of elements and go guys shuffle the deck way, and you have a material that will go 9,000 miles an hour.
It will hold up under the heat and the friction. It won't bend.
It's perfect, and it's only a quarter of the weight. And by the way, here's the formula, and you don't have to go and test it for two years it's correct do it i mean that's how fast things are going to happen once they start happening and stew this scares the hell out of me because you know how i feel about ai yeah i was going to ask you because ai obviously has a lot of negative potential consequences and if we're putting the government, the military control of that does that scare you no no no no i'm not saying that we put the government in control of it okay um we have to balance all of this but the government is already involved in it i'm saying let the government build like power plants build the things that we know the country is going to need the infrastructure to be able to handle this build the things that when they say we got it we can turn it on yeah get prepared for whatever's coming here i think too like i like i guess i'm concerned and this is you know from a guy i've talked to for 20 years who continually repeats phrase, I'm always wrong about timing.
I'm concerned about that bridge period. Because I think you're probably right.
It is coming really, really fast. But if something happens, if something goes off course, if you don't know, you need to be prepared for that bridge period.
How do we spend $877 billion every single year? Every every year china spends 200 and some billion dollars every year and it's that close if it's that close you know we got other problems you're saying that we should sort of we should rest on our laurels a little bit and just say hey we already have the best technology we already. We already have the best military.
Let's not try to develop new things until this. I think let's they're developing new stuff as well.
Yeah, great. Great.
Let's give some time to AI. Let's not double our work.
Let's not spend money now on things that most likely don't't build another aircraft carrier don't design another

f-57 don't do it it's not gonna it's you're not you have no idea what's coming fix the stuff we have make sure we have the ammunition make sure we have the latest and the greatest that's already here. Don't do R&D on that stuff.
Don't do it. And by the way, you can't tell me that, again, $900 billion over, let's say, $250 or let's say $300 for China.
We've spent three times the amount every year and we're not competitive? I don't believe that. And if it is, everybodyagon should go to jail i do think well i mean we're certainly competitive i will say that like to me i think there's a lot of older projects there's a bunch of crap in our military that that stuff i is my higher priority target let's put it that way then eliminating potential innovations in these fields even though i know what you're saying they might be they might be obsolete in a few years.
And you have to come in front of a you'll have to come in front of a committee that is like filled with Elon Musk's and say, here's the pitch. I don't want the decisions made by the senators or the generals at this point.
Here's the pitch. Here's why we think this fits with tomorrow's technology's technology and then that can be an advisory role but we do have a system of government that we have to yeah i know right but they should they should be the ones who go ah don't do that senator don't do that that's stupid don't do that if they want to do that then we can vote them out and we'll all know which ones are just doing it because they're funneling money to their friends.
Part of this comes to the idea that the way I think about government spending, which is government spending is always worse than the private sector, which is a very basic conservative point, right? I think, though, the one time that you, obviously constitutionally, you have certain powers that the government spends. Defense is one of them that they're going to typically be responsible for.
The way I look about at it is government can do some things relatively well if you don't care about efficiency. But businesses do.
Right. So they will they will not take certain risks that, you know, have a low low percentage chance of paying off and the idea that maybe you come up with a nuclear bomb and you're able to uh to stop global wars for multiple decades you know a private company you know like very i'm certainly they shouldn't be coming with nuclear bombs but you know what i'm saying like that type risk, that type of expenditure that will likely fail is the type of thing that the government can take on.
Because when you don't care about efficiency, when you don't care about, hey, we tried 25 things, 24 of them failed. Right.
That's OK. Look, private industry should be doing this and leading this.
But the government's already in bed with DARPA's already doing this. I mean, the CIA was the one who helped fund Silicon Valley in the 1960s.

So please, let's get over our little illusion that they're not involved in any of this.

Let me give you an example on something that I think I hope the president's going to talk about tonight.

The private sector versus big government and Biden spending spree.

What Trump is doing and what Biden did. The president's been in for 40 days.
I've never seen anything like this in 40 days. So he's been in office for 40 days and the numbers he's bringing into the economy are staggering.
Yesterday, Taiwan Semiconductors, which is the greatest news you could possibly hear if you understand what this means. Taiwan makes all of the best semiconductors and superconductors, and they're dropping $100 billion to build chip factories here in America.
Apple, $500 billion over four years to crank up its manufacturing think texas server plants not sweatshops uh soft bank is in for a hundred billion on ai uae uh is tossing 20 billion into data centers that's 700 billion dollars in private sector commitments now some people are saying that it's as high as 1.7 trillion but i can't track those numbers and and get i can get a lot of rumors i can get a lot of yeah maybe but i don't have this is real this is almost a trillion dollars remember our the uh investment for uh barack obama the re and the reinvestment act uh was 787 billion this is 720 billion all coming not from tax dollars not from government ious but real money from companies all around the world that are betting on america this number like i said can be uh verified and they're not handouts now Now, just the investment from TCMC could mean 40,000 construction jobs and 6,000 high tech gigs. Apple, thousands.
This is the private sector, not because Uncle Sam wrote a check, but because Trump demanded the same rules on tariffs for everyone. We're going to charge you what you charge us.
That is fair on any playground anywhere in the world. And then he sweetened the deal by cutting the red tape and the tax advantages that no other country will offer and said, build it here.
Bring those jobs here.

We're a stable country.

We're the future.

Now, compare that to what Biden did with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

What you're hearing are your thoughts

via the mind and mouth of Glenn Beck.

More next. uh yeah i'm gonna have to come back to the comparisons because i've only got a couple of minutes here i ran out of time but i i have to tell you some of the stuff that i mean what you're going to hear tonight is a long list of what uh donald trump has accomplished by bringing in money by cutting red tape and tariffs to get people to move their businesses here in america um i just want to remind you of the infrastructureructure Investment and Jobs Act that was passed in 2021.

It cost you one point trillion dollars, eight hundred and thirty six billion in direct spending for roads, bridges, broadband and the rest. Add in the Inflation Reduction Act, the $144 billion, and you have over a trillion dollars of taxpayer cash that they took from you to give to their buddies.
Now, they bragged about 57,000 projects shovel-ready. $554 billion of it was only announced mid-last year.
Less than 17% of the $ 454 billion has actually even been spent remember we're talking over a trillion dollars of money none of it has hit the markets yet you think inflation is bad now you let the government spend the rest of that trillion By the way, by November 2024, only $162 billion is actually, last November, was actually in play.

The rest of it is still obligated on paper or there's red tape that they have to do.

And the waste is unbelievable.

You know about the electric vehicle chargers. $7.5 billion.
We've got eight of them. The 42.5 billion dollars for broadband.
Zero shovels actually in. 42.5 billion.
No shovels. So when they said all of this stuff was working, no.
And why did Glenn Beck tell you all last year, it's going to get worse before it gets better? Because all of this money is still in the pipeline. You want inflation? You wait.
All of these plans, all of the things that they built, they did nothing in the last four years. Nothing.
Now all of that money is going to be washing into the system if Donald Trump doesn't stop it. Tonight's a very, very important night.
The president is speaking to Congress at 7.30 Eastern time. All your favorites from The Blaze are going to be together.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

When it comes to the president's speech, which we'll be covering on Blaze TV tonight,

7.30, our live coverage begins. I'll be there.
Stu will be there. All of your favorite Blaze TV hosts.
We're going to cover the president. We're going to first give you a little pregame and then cover the president, let him speak, and then after we'll give you our analysis.
But also during, you can directly talk to your favorite Blaze TV hosts. We're going to be online with you in the, what do you even call it? The chat section? I don't know.
Live chat. I guess we're going to be doing live chat with you as a Blaze TV subscriber.
All you have to do is just join us. Join the Blaze tonight and get the coverage you need for the president.
Now, we're going to talk a little bit about things he has to say, but one of the things that is deeply concerning is the economy. And nothing this president could have done in 40 days would cause the kinds of things that we're beginning to see, except perhaps Doge actually cutting.
This is something Carol roth talked about but we haven't seen anything yet we're going to explain what's coming and how you what you need to prepare mentally for what's the country going to look like in a few months if this continues down this road we'll talk about that coming up in 60 seconds first if you've ever been in a situation where you wanted to do the right thing, but you didn't feel like you could, sadly, that is the position that many women find themselves in when they have an unexpected pregnancy. In those dark moments of indecision, it sometimes will seem like abortion is the only real choice that they have.
Thank God pre-born is showing those mothers another way. First of all, they show them that what you're carrying is a baby.
It's not just a clump of cells. They offer free ultrasounds so they can meet their unborn child and hear his or her heartbeat.
Then they say, I want to, but I can't. I mean, I can't afford it.
I don't have anybody supporting me. I can't afford just even the prenatal care.'s where pre-born comes in again they offer maternity clothes doctor visits and so much more for up to two full years would you be the voice for pre-born and become a monthly donor 28 a month could be the difference between life and death of so many babies preborn.com back that's preborn.com slash Beck.
Or you can go to pound 250, say the keyword baby. Donate now.
Pound 250, keyword baby. All right, let me go to Carol Roth.
Hello, Carol. How are you? You know, Glenn, I just found out that we've only been in this administration for a month and a half-ish.
Yeah. And I feel like it's been 16 years.
I know. There's so much going on that I'm just trying to process it out.
When someone said, oh, it's only been a month and a half, I went, yeah, my mind was blown. Yeah, we're 40 days into, around 40 days into this administration.
And you're looking at this and it's breathtaking at what has been done. Last month, we had, I think, 1,800 encounters at the borders.
A year ago, last February, it was 109,000 encounters. That's how much of an impact he's made on that.
We have all these things that he's done, but when it comes to the economy, Congress has to move on some of his things. He hasn't really done anything with the economy except perhaps for Doge, which you've been warning about on this program for a while now.
What's happening? Yes. So, you know, we've talked about before that the economic situation is not really what it was presented to be.

You know, we've talked about before that the economic situation is not really what it was presented to be. You know, we heard under Biden and certainly during election season.
What a wonderful economy we had. All of these really great statistics on employment and growth.
And it's become very clear. Well, it was very clear to all of us before we've talked about it.
Something that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Besant talked about in a speech a couple weeks ago is that really the economic foundation is incredibly fragile. And what we've had the Biden administration do, which was exceptionally nefarious, is that they decided that they were going to spend to paper over the weakness of the economy.
So if you remember, I think it was back in 2022, we had those two down quarters of GDP, which is a technical recession, which for some reason, by the way, they said was not a recession. I'm sure if Trump had two down quarters, they would say it was, but you know, it was, it was, it had a D in front of it, but it wasn't.
And then, you know, we came out of it and then it was pretty clear that we were going to go into this double dip recession. And so what did they do? They decided to increase government spending, which is very inefficient spending.
And we've been running deficits as a percentage of GDP that are at wartime levels. We're talking six to seven percent of GDP.
The historical average is somewhere around three or three and a half percent. So about double what you might see on average.
When you have a good economy, you would actually expect that to be much lower because you're getting more receipts. And that's what happened.
We had more receipts. We were taking in almost five trillion dollars.
We were spending the U.S. government and they're spending even more.
They're spending almost seven trillion dollars. So that was done to mask the weakness and the economy.
Now that we don't have the ability to continue to kick up even more and more to show growth, the consumer continues to be tapped out from all the Biden era policies. And the fact that we have Doge, which is trying to cut down government spending.
We're at a situation where things could get uglier before they get better or they could get uglier and they could take away the political will to make them better. And that's this delicate dance that we've been talking about, why we need this careful choreography.
The craziest thing that's happened over the past several days is that the Atlanta Fed, you know, one of the branches of the Federal Reserve that has a tool that predicts GDP for each quarter, they went in the last four weeks, OK, four weeks time from predicting that we were going

to have almost four percent GDP growth in the first quarter to now negative three percent

in the first quarter. That is a seven percentage point difference in four weeks, which, A, just

goes to show what a joke, you know, any of this reporting and these tools and this data are. But I think also shows, hey, we've got, you know, somebody else at the helm here.
So now we don't need to doctor these numbers in a way that seem a bit more friendly. And so where we potentially could be seeing something ugly, which is something that we've talked about many, many times.
And this has been a setup that they knew was coming. If you go back to the middle of last year, you had a bunch of quote unquote, Nobel economists that put out a piece that said that Trump was going to create inflation, he was going to do all these bad things to the economy.
And I called it out right then and there and said, this is a setup, they know this is coming no matter what. And so they are setting the groundwork to blame this on Trump.
And so you know, get ready for the talking points. You know, Trump's been, as we said, only in there for six weeks, he hasn't even really had a chance to do anything about the economy, Congress certainly isn't helping.
And yet we're already getting the rhetoric that, oh, you know, look what he did to our really great economy. Correct me if I'm wrong here, Carol, but the Biden administration, while they spent a lot of money, they did it in ways to cover things up, et cetera, et cetera.
But that big 2021, you know, $1.2 trillion bill and then the $836 billion for roads and bridges and broadband and then the $144 billion in the Inflation Reduction Act, it's well over a trillion dollars. And it's my understanding that only 17% of that money has been spent.

So. well over a trillion dollars and it's my understanding that only 17 percent of that money has been sent is spent so what happens if we don't stop the spending of just the stuff that is already on the books from biden wouldn't that cause our inflation to go through the roof yeah it absolutely would cause our inflation to go through the roof because you, even with the cash in and cash out that we have, as we said, we're running these wartime level deficits.
And by the way, we're financing those at high interest rates, not necessarily in the historical context, but in the context of the last 15 years. And in a way that we have now made the interest expense on our debt, you know, what we're paying for stuff we've already bought, exceed the financing charges, exceed what we're spending on defense.

Niall Ferguson has a great sort of maxim, if you will, that basically I'm paraphrasing here, but nations that spend more on interest versus debt don't remain great nations for very long.

That seems to be a pretty obvious something that everybody can wrap their heads around, that we don't want to be spending all of our money, you know, paying for stuff that we've quote unquote already bought. And we certainly at these levels cannot afford to do that if we continue to do that.
And, you know, this kind of goes into another conversation that we've had before, Glenn, too, is that central banks around the world, who used to be our friends in support of the U.S. being the world's reserve currency, used to just buy treasuries.
It's kind of part of the deal here on an ongoing basis. Over the past 11 or so years, they have been net sellers of treasuries.
They've actually replaced that with gold on their balance sheet. So if we don't have central banks that will just buy treasuries whenever, because that's part of the geopolitical deal, that means you have to find people who are looking at the price.
They're looking at the price of the treasuries. And basically, you know, at this at these levels, even though they've come off a little bit and we can talk about that, too.
But they're saying they're overall saying, yeah, we're not going to do that. You know, we we need, you know, to have a reprice here.
And, you know, when you don't have enough demand, you end up seeing our yields go higher. And to the extent they add up too high, which we were dangerously close to a few weeks ago, that has come off now.
But if you hit that, that could end up causing a debt spiral. It could end up causing a mismanagement, or excuse me, not a mismanagement, but basically a throwing up, if you will, of the treasury market and have global implications.
So let me just explain this so the average person can understand what you just said. You are, you're wanting to buy a new house and the interest rates are up at 8%.
You say, honey, I don't think we should buy a new house. The interest rate is way too high.
And somebody says, well, historically not. Well, historically, yeah, you might be right, but we're not buying in the 1980s right now.
We're buying today with our financial situation. So I don't think we're going to buy the house.
That's what a normal person would do. And you'd start saving money to buy a house later.
That's not what the government is doing. They're saying, let's buy the house at these high interest rates anyway.
But when you have poor credit, really good banks are going to say, no, I'm not going to take your loan. That's what she's talking about with the central banks.
They're like, I don't want it. I'd rather buy gold because i don't trust that you guys are ever going to get out of debt and so what happens loan sharks step in this is what she's saying about the yield going up the loan sharks step in and they say i can make this deal for you i'm gonna cost you 12 percent hey you're like 12 that's outrageous you're gonna do it or you're not gonna do it what do you 12 percent.
And you're like, 12 percent? That's outrageous. You're going to do it or you're not going to do it? What do you want? So we're burying ourselves with loan sharks.
That's why I believe the president needs to say tonight, Congress must pass a budget. It must have cuts.
I'd love him to say it must have a trillion dollars, bare minimum of cuts to show the rest of the world that we're serious. I don't know why Javier Malay can do these things, but we can't.
can't. However, however, Glenn, if we cut, as we talked about, we cut a trillion dollars

and we just cut it off very carefully and we don't choreograph it like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and then we don't have that in our GDP, then we have a shrunken economy. We're taking in less receipts and we actually explode the deficit, which could end up in a debt spiral.
So yes, Congress needs to do their part, but it needs to be done very surgically. And that is the ultimate challenge.
That is the mess that the Biden administration left for Trump. If I were king of the world today and I could go in and say, Congress, this is what you're going to do.
I would say to them, you're going to cut a trillion dollars, plus you're going to pass either a flat tax or 15-15-15, what the president has talked about, and you're going to cut 50% of all regulations. Just cut them right now.
And you're going to pass the RAINS Act. That would change the dynamics of the economy.
Yes, we would have all of that spending going away from our GDP, from the government. Good.
But money would flow into our country and jobs would be created and we'd ignite the engine at the same time. That's what has to happen.
But that's not going to be the president's fault if it doesn't happen.

What a surprise.

It's going to be the lame-ass GOP that will screw this up.

He's got to get them on path.

Back in just a second, more Carol Roth with some good news.

Every day, all across the country, people feel, you know, like me, you know, better than we used to.

You know, it doesn't hurt as much as it used to, really. It doesn't hurt mentally, but it also doesn't hurt physically because I've started taking relief factor.

10 seconds, Station ID. okay is there anything else you think we need to hit here on the economy before we get to some good news i mean this is this is going to be probably a whole other segment but i'll just throw out there at some point we need to have a discussion about these tariffs.
Now it's probably not the time because it's a very large discussion. Okay.
But we need to have a discussion about these tariffs. Okay, let's do that now.
Go ahead. Let's start there.
All right. So basically, what did the American people hire Trump to do, right? They hired to stabilize prices to get things more normalized.
And yes, we have these issues around the world in terms of where we stand in trade. However, as we have been talking about, we just talked about, this needs to be very surgical.
We need to have Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers doing the choreography. We don't need to have bull in a China shop.
And the tariff situation, given the precarious economic situation that Biden has left us, and the fact that the citizens of the United States want price stability is absolutely maddening. I understood art of the deal.
I understood the first time around that we're trying to put some pressure, show who's the big dog, get people to come to the table. But now, you know, we're going after our allies.
We're going, you know, we're trying to, you know, kind of separate ourselves from China. Well, we have country companies who decided to move manufacturing from China to Mexico so that they could be more aligned with the United States and North America.
And now we're putting these crazy tariffs on it. This is something that, frankly,

nobody in any economic circle that I know

understands the strategy

and does not seem to be consistent

with what it is we've been talking about.

All right, so may I suggest,

Donald Trump plays many different games all at once.

And the strategy when it comes to Canada and Mexico,

I don't think has anything to do really with the economy. It has everything to do with the border.
He's saying, help us with the border. Help stop the flow of illegals, stop fentanyl, and recognize that your cartels are terror organizations.
Work with us. If you don't want to, that's fine.
You'll get a tariff. He's not saying, you know, you're charging us too much for our milk and not enough for your milk or whatever.
That is part of it, but that's not really what he's after, I believe, on the tariffs with Canada and Mexico. I agree that was the first time we tried this and he got them to the table.
And now we need to have sort of a different situation because the reality is that, as you said, he's made huge strides. We have a tiny fraction of the encounters at the border.
So that is moving in the right direction. But things like price stability are not necessarily yet moving in the right direction.
And to throw this into the mix at a time that is so precarious from an economic situation, even if that is the ultimate outcome, it seems like the wrong tactic to take because the situation on the economic front is so volatile, find another path to do that. That's all I'll have to say on that.
Yeah. And just to back up Carol's point on the border, I mean, we're down, this is the lowest month we've had in at least 25 years of border crossings.
Like 1968 or something crazy like that. Yeah.
The only other close month was April 2017, right after Trump came in the first time. But that was much more about just tone.
And it did slow things down. This seems to be backing up with action.
And, you know, I tend to agree on the tariffs with Carol. I don't like I am against tariffs.
I am for even playing field tariffs. But again, that's and that is defensible logically.
Yeah. Not what's happening.
No, I know. He signed an agreement that there would be no tariffs between.
It was his agreement. He designed it.
I know. I know.
And now he's putting the tariffs on. And that's going back to the surgical part.
If it was something very specific, I could understand. But across the board at these levels, it seems really insane at this point.
OK, Carol, hang on. We have some good news to share with you, some really good news.
Your efforts have paid off, America. What you said, this has got to stop.
They have finally stopped, and that's really, really good news. Also, I want to find out about this Bitcoin conference that is happening on Friday.
What are we expecting and what's that going to do this is glenn beck so where do you stand on the first amendment you're for it what a big patriot mobile is too but they're bigots too how about the second amendment yeah figures you know who else is a big fan of that? What a coincidence. Patriot Mobile.
But they're Nazis. Come to think of it, Patriot Mobile, unlike all of the Nazis, are for all of your rights, the real rights and fights for them.
It's also amazing at its cellular service. They're on the top of all three cell towers that all three companies have.
So they offer service that's just as good as the big mobile companies. And their customer service, in my opinion, is even better.
For one thing, it's entirely based in the US, and that's hard to beat. I have believed in Patriot Mobile for years now.
I even got a cell phone so I can support them. Even though I don't use it, I have absolutely no idea where it is right now.
It's ringing someplace. But America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company, Patriot Mobile.
Somebody asked me the other day, what's your phone number? I'm like, I don't know. But don't call it anyway because I have no idea where it is.

Tonight, President Trump's big speech. We're covering it on Blaze TV.
And there's

a deal. 47 bucks off Blaze TV annual subscription.
one of the best ideas. Thank monologue and I work on it today.
Maybe I'll have it tomorrow, but one of the best ideas, uh, thank you, Carol, um, to be able to explain the, uh, why government never works government spending and all that stuff just doesn't work. It is part of, it's a natural cycle.
And we'll talk about that coming up. So Stu and I are still talking about the tariffs as well.
If you want to continue on that a little bit, I am against tariffs. I have been for tariffs in the way he has been using them.
And that is in two different ways. He's been using them as a, I'm going to step on your neck until you say, okay, okay, I give.
That's Canada and Mexico. And they gave, but they didn't do exactly what he wanted, and then he stepped on their neck a little harder.
I don't know how that's going to work out. I hope it works out in his favor because I don't want to see him have to have Justin Trudeau going, see, we beat him, the big bully.
That would be bad for him. The second way of doing tariffs is I believe in free trade.
But if you're not going to play by free trade, then I'm going to play by your rules, which will balance the playing field and give us the next best thing to free trade. We're playing free trade on your rules of a level playing field.
I think that's all fine. I don't know how all of this is going to work out.
So far, I have watched it be really, really good. But the stock market dropping, I mean, it's not good.
It's not good. Markets hate New Texas.
Yes. They're always going to hate new taxes.
I do think there's a chance that he is doing this in an extended way of what he did last time, in which he's saying, instead of saying the threat of tariffs for negotiation, he's thinking they need to feel the pain of the tariffs, and then they'll come to the table with whatever he's looking for, which we don't really know what it is. But that being said, it's also the problem with tariffs is it caused pain on both sides.
And the strategy of it is I can withstand this pain more than you can withstand this pain. But we can't for very long.
None of us can. None of us can.
It's also timing. Right.
So we're talking about all of these things as if we were in a normal world. And we're not.
We're on the precipice of economic crisis thanks to the Biden administration. And so, you know, the tactics and strategies that we may have been able to employ during a normal time are not what are required right now.
Like we said, the first time he threatened the tariffs, it worked on the immigration or the migration front, right? We stopped the flow of illegals to the point where we haven't seen these numbers in a very long time. So take the win.
But right now, what the American public needs is some certainty and stability. And so with this very fragile economic situation, anything that is going to make it worse is not the right tactic to take right now.
And we also have to decide, you know, who is going to be on our side and who's not going to be on our side. If China is really the enemy here, then maybe just say, OK, we got, you know, a little bit of a way down with China and Mexico, or to me, with Canada and Mexico on what we wanted.
We're just going to leave that. And now we're going to focus on this thing with China and keep our allies intact.
I just don't think now is the time when we require this very careful choreography to get us out of a crazy economic situation to be throwing around these massive tariffs, to be creating chaos in the stock market, to create uncertainty potential for a rising dollar, which would be a major issue. I know it's come down a little bit here, but if these go into place, that's going to be outgrowth.
I mean, there are a lot of big issues that are all tied up together here, and now is just not the time. I would agree with you possibly on.
I mean, I want to see this play out for a couple of days on Canada and Mexico, but I have I have no problem with any kind of treaties that he wants to put on Europe and because I think it's free and fair if we play by their rules. And I'm not sure that they are our allies anymore.
I really don't. When they will say in front of people, in front of cameras, America doesn't believe in the same values we believe anymore.
After a speech about freedom of speech and not putting political opponents in jail, I'm not sure I want to be spending any money defending that because they're not, we're not on the same side if they actually believe that yeah i mean obviously that speaks to bigger geopolitical strategy in terms of do we want them to be aligned with china you know the the friend of my my enemy is my friend you know it's it's kind of we have to be very careful so we can acknowledge that we think that that's horrible. We know that they are paper tigers and very weak.
But still, there's a bigger picture going on. And so we don't have to necessarily fund them.
But at the same time, too, we also have to be wary of the global economic situation and how that's going to impact American lives. And that is the most fragile point.
So that needs to be kind of the underpinning of everything else. All right.
Let me switch gears to this meeting that's happening on Friday with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. What are we expecting to see out of that? And when the government says, the United States government is the largest holder of Bitcoin in the world.
I don't know if anybody knows that, but we're the largest Bitcoin holder. And the president just signed an executive order saying we're going to hold on to it, which is good, at least for Bitcoin and I think for the country as well.
But the price went up, but it didn't skyrocket. And everybody's been saying they've been waiting for this.
Are they waiting to see what it actually means over the weekend, Carol? Well, it went up and then went back down. Yeah, this has been so, you know, the first thing that happened is that we had this announcement of some sort of cryptocurrency strategic reserve.
Right. And, you know, again, and this is this is not meant to pick on the Trump administration, because obviously we know we we know we're all rooting for Trump to succeed.
But there are some sort of question marks here, and this is one of them for me. When you think about a strategic reserve, Glenn, you're thinking about things that you need in case of a national emergency, in case of an economic emergency, that you have a stockpile.
And so it makes sense that we would have oil or ammunition

or medicine or things stockpiled. But all of a sudden we say, well, we need to have a cryptocurrency

stockpile, strategic reserve. The question mark is why? Why do we need that? Why is that impacting

our national security? Because I think it's the same as gold.

But it's not the same as gold. It's not being held by central banks around the world.

It's not something that we actually even have in tangible form. And this kind of goes to the bigger feeling from the crypto community.
When this was announced, it was not announced as a Bitcoin reserve. It was announced as a reserve that included all kinds of things, including things that bordered on meme coins and alternative coins that most people in the cryptocurrency community don't think have any intrinsic value.
And so that's been part of the frustration that if you want to make the argument for a Bitcoin only reserve, then we can have a healthy debate. And maybe there's some sort of reasoning behind that.
But isn't it XRP that they think that the, the, the banking system is actually going to be built on, not necessarily Bitcoin, but XRP, because I don't know, it's faster or whatever, but some of the coins that he included make sense to me because it, it is building the future and the highways of our financial system. You disagree with that? I think that the feeling from the community is that in terms of anything that looks like hard money, that Bitcoin is the only one that comes close to that.
And that there are a lot of people in the administration who frankly have interests in cryptocurrency, and that's why it's getting this level of attention. So I think that perhaps maybe there's clarification this week of what this strategic reserve looks like.
As you mentioned, the holdings of cryptocurrency by the U.S., I believe you're referencing the amount of cryptocurrency that we have seized from criminals and other organizations. We have been dumping it out on the market.
It's much better for everybody, the market, and to have some stored value for the United States. I think diversification is really good myself.
Or we could dump it off and pay down our debt and not have an interest that exceeds our debt. If you want to do that and you're not selling it all at once so the price of it doesn't collapse, you know, I don't have a problem with that either.
But, you know, anyway, go ahead. I would just say, you know, based on his announcement, he had said that he wants to, you know, elevate the industry, which is, again, a weird thing to say when we're talking about things that should benefit Americans.
It wasn't sort of clear how that ties into the elevating the industry. But I do think what is if there's any good point from a crypto fan standpoint that they're saying that at least he's going to bring some legitimacy to the industry and not persecute it the way the Biden administration has.

So maybe there's some clarity on rulemaking and whatnot. And I think that's all positive.
But when we start getting into strategic reserves, when we're running wartime deficit, you know, again, my head starts to spin a little. So there's been one thing that we've talked about for several months, and that's FinCEN and this criminalization of small-time business owners.
And it has been delayed and delayed. It's a Biden thing.
They delayed it under Trump. It has finally been washed away, Carol? Almost.
So this is a huge victory. Why won't they let go of this thing? This is a huge victory.
I want to thank you, Glenn, because, you know, we've been talking about this for almost a year. You've launched a huge platform and fight for this.
Your audience has been very active in this fight. So this is that, like you said, the CTA BOI rule that was making small businesses have to register as financial criminals or face jail times and massive penalties.
We've been working so hard to try to get this taken away or at least, you know, put to bed in some manner. So last Thursday, the 27th, Treasury came out and said, we are not going to penalize you if you if we're not going to enforce penalties.
And we're going to try to narrow the scope because we don't think this is fair for small business. And then on Sunday, they put out a press release saying, OK, we are not for anybody who is a U.S.
citizen or a domestic reporting entity. So a domestic company, you do not have to do this.
So this is a huge win now. A huge win.
However, we need this codified still. We need Congress to codify and follow Treasury's lead or we we need the courts to win because we know what happens.
We have a great Treasury secretary who wants Main Street to thrive. We have a president who wants Main Street to thrive, and they've done this.
But if they can do that, then the next administration that is a Democratic administration could undo that. And we need to create that certainty for small businesses, housing association boards, and everyone else who has caught up in this.
So we need for Congress to narrow the scope to foreign companies only, foreign reporting entities. So tell Congress they still need to pass that law and codify, take Treasury's lead.
And otherwise, you and I are going to be talking about this again at some point in the future. But by the way, we can celebrate all the great work.
Your audience made calls. They put in statements for the record that I took to Congress.
We've been working so, so hard on this. All the groups that filed lawsuits that even gave us the ability to have the time to make this happen, to allow this new Treasury to be able to make this rule.
So great job, everybody. Great job from you, Carol.
You've led the torch. You've been the torchbearer on this one.

Roth, Carol J.S. Roth.
Thanks, Carol. I appreciate it.
Tonight, it's going to be very important to watch the president's speech. We're going to be doing it beginning at 730.
Our coverage begins. All of your favorite Blaze TV hosts are going to be here.
We're going to give you what we hope and what we think is going to happen prior to. Then he's going to speak.
We'll then jump online with you and we'll have a chat with anybody who's on Blaze TV. You can ask us questions.
Your favorite host will answer, including me, if I happen to be your favorite host.

And then after he speaks, we'll have a recap of it and we'll get the opinions of all of your favorite hosts. So that's tonight on Blaze TV.
But the one thing that the one thing I want him to say is, Republicans, you are going to be responsible for a disaster in two years. The American people are for cutting a trillion dollars out of this budget, a trillion.
And that number is in the 70 percent range on all Americans.

What are you doing? You've got to cut the budget and the waste.

You have to pass the Reins Act so you can take your power back.

You've got to do it and you've got to do it now.

Oh, and by the way, pass the tax cuts, because I think they're just the beginning.

I'd like I'd like to hear him forcefully say that to Congress. All right, picture yourself deep in the woods.
The trail is stretching out. Your boots are kicking dirt.
I, per one, don't know why you're in the mountains because I know what happens in the mountains. Suddenly, there's a rustle and a mountain lion lunges out from the brush, claws out, teeth gleaming.
Now, normally, you don't see a mountain lion coming. You were just dumb enough to be up in the mountains.
I've got to take a hike. And usually, it's already ripped your throat out.
But just because it works for this commercial, your heart is a jackhammer. There's no phone signal.
There's no help for miles. You're going to be eaten.
And then you realize, wait a minute, I've got my Burna launcher. One pull, pepper round, rips through the air 300 feet per second straight into its mouth.
It staggers. It wheezes.
It runs away. You haven't had your throat ripped out because you had a Burna.
It's not lethal, but it is the wall between you and the wild, whether that's in the city or in the mountains. Don't face nature's fury empty-handed.

More next. let's take a phone call let's go to steve in south carolina i've been waiting for a while what what are you hoping trump is going to address tonight? Yes, sir.
Thanks for taking my call. Really, really appreciate it.
I'm a seven-time deployed combat vet, and I've had quite a few surgeries. We were in a helicopter crash, so 11 back surgeries and on and on and on.

And waited a while because I was so busy.

Right.

I don't mean to cut you off, but we're going to lose time here.

You have about 30 seconds.

What do you want him to focus on?

Vets need help to be able to do stuff at home,

like entrepreneurs that can maybe help us out with online courses.

Excellent. Home care.
I can't believe that care, and making our schools credit for work. Thank you very much, Steve.
I can't believe that the head of our VA, the new head, isn't going to go down that road, but it'd be great to hear him say that. Let me tell you about American financing.
Right now, the average American is still finding it difficult to pay expenses every month. In most cases, there's nothing left to cover any expenses.
Most aren't getting a big raise and expenses are up so high. It can be very hard to manage without grabbing for the credit cards.
And if you've done that, look, everybody has. You're a homeowner.
You're frustrated with that endless cycle. It only produces more debt.
Take a few minutes, maybe 10 minutes today and give a call to American Financing. If you're constantly carrying credit card balances each and every month with an interest rate in the 20s or 30s, you've got to call American Financing and have them show you how you can get your hard-earned equity into work to get you out of debt.
They're already saving people in this audience over $800 a month. That's the average.
There are no upfront fees, so it costs you nothing to find out how much you could be saving every month. Call American Financing at 800-906-2440 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

Let me start with Tammy in Georgia. Hello, Tammy.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Hi, Glenn.
What I'd like Donald Trump to address is something that Carol Roth and you were talking about with inflation. There are Americans out there that they're rich.
There's Americans out there that are middle class and you've got your poor um and somewhere in between the the gold standard and the dollar going away there are going to be millions of americans who are going to drop in the cracks yes and we're going to be left penniless because there's a lot of us that have no savings because of what Biden did. I know.
And there's no way for us to invest in gold. I know.
I know. So where do you live, Tammy? Where in Georgia? Describe your town.
It's a small town. It's called Rock Mart.
It's growing, but I'm 59 years old.

I'm blind, and I'm a diabetic. So all of my money goes to my medical expenses.
Right. So, Tammy, I can't speak to your particular case, but you need to, everybody needs to do this because I think we're all going to be leveled at some point, all of us.
I don't care how much money you have. When money isn't worth anything, it doesn't matter how much you had.
It really doesn't. It matters how you prepared.
And it doesn't have to be gold. You know what is worth more than gold? A good community of church-going people.
If you're in a community of church where people will help one another, where they won't allow you to fall through the cracks, that is really valuable because especially you, you're blind, you are diabetic. What are you going to do? You have to have a community around you.
For people who aren't blind, if you're living in a small town like she is, Tammy is, you need to plant a garden. I mean, our parents, sorry, our grandparents, if you're living in a small town like like she is tammy is you you need to plant a garden i mean our parents are sorry our grandparents if you're my age grandparents they survived the great depression because they were independent they had a small garden that is the best thing you can do if if you're you know somebody who you know is all excited about maha you you got to grow the stuff yourself so you know what's healthy and what's not.
Now, you can do that because of health. You can do that because you should know where your food comes from.
Just teach your kids how to farm and have little things, you know. But if you're not going to do that and you have the money, then you should buy some sort of food storage.
I know our church charges, they have food storage capabilities and they they charge less than you'd get from anything else. But, you know, you've got to make it into something, you know, the flour and everything else.
And then you make it in to whatever it is you're cooking. But you can find those things that you can prepare.

Again, prepare yourself.

If you have nothing, prepare yourself spiritually and get into a strong faith community, one that understands we're all brothers and sisters, and we're not going to leave anyone behind.

Thanks, Tammy, for your call. Let me go to matt in pennsylvania hello matt how are you doing today glenn sorry can you hear me all right i'm a ups driver i'm like on the road night the first time i've gotten in first of all 2006 i started listening to you oh geez he was going to give me a compliment now he's breaking up that's not right not right.
No, I could have said it. I listened in 2006.
I've hated you ever since. That could have been coming.
Are you there, Matt? No, no. The Eagles suck.
Oh, I love you. Cut him off.
Go ahead. I think that what we've given Trump as a mandate by the American people, the GOP has been so weak-kneed on so many things that he needs to lay that out specifically.
So we all voted for this. We want the cut in the spending.
I know it's going to hurt. I mean, I'm 55 next month.
I've been at the same job for 36 years. And, I mean, my wife and I, we've paid for our kids.
We've done the best we could to pay for our kids to do things. But there's going to be pain.
We have a budget. We live by a budget.
We don't buy the things that we can't afford. And ultimately, I just God bless you.
I appreciate what you do. You give me to the day.
You, Pat, sometimes, Stu, loves America. Yes, it's hard.
It's hard to give him that. I'm a little nerfed out.
I'm a little nerfed out.

The Steelers are a better team than the Eagles.

That's interesting.

I have some information you might want to consider over the past couple months.

More Super Bowls.

More Super Bowls, too.

Yeah, you're going back too far.

Time to cut this guy off.

What is he talking about? Matt, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

By the way, he's from Pennsylvania.

Okay?

He's from Pennsylvania.

Can you just read this to me?

I can't.

I don't have my glasses.

He can't read.

I can't read it's a probably hand me a little teeny you know uh rap go ahead what's there's breaking news yeah sorry uh zelinski looks like he's doing a major backpedal uh as far as dealing with trump in the United States and peace. He just tweeted this on X where he's reiterating, quote, Ukraine's commitment to peace.
One of the most interesting things was, is that he, there's one where it sounds like it's almost like an apology, but not really an apology. He wanted the meeting to go better, but he sounds like he's calling for a ceasefire and truce in the skies and in the sea which is pretty huge because i haven't heard him even attempt to do that since what 2022 when he actually wanted peace but the west stopped him isn't that what england was saying that they were going to have peace in the skies and the sea recently yeah i think they said that i think starmer said that um that was their their theme of that peace thing interesting sea change a little bit did he apologize at all really you're not gonna get trump you are going to have to make a public apology i think he said it was regrettable that it happened this way yeah yeah that's not an apology that's not an apology yeah it's

like i'm sorry if you took it that way i'm really sorry you felt that it's a bit of a right right right right right it's a bit of a non-apology apology when he says it happened that way that could be trump's fault right like it's regrettable that trump did this to me right like it could mean a lot of different ways i mean that is the biggest lie too we talked about this yesterday but i mean It's worth restating.

This is the guy's M.O.

He has done this to others.

He did it to. I mean, that is the biggest lie, too.
We talked about this yesterday, but I mean, it's worth restating.

This is the guy's M.O.

He has done this to others.

He did it to Joe Biden.

Remember when Joe Biden was like, you show some respect, you whippersnapper.

He did the same thing to Joe Biden.

So this is his M.O.

And Joe was on his side.

So if you pissed him off on this.

Yeah, I know.

But let's not downplay.

This is significant.

This is the largest move towards any kind of peace deal we've had since this started. That's encouraging.
And it's actually kind of smart because he's saying and I was thinking this back several weeks ago that the biggest thing he should do to appease Trump is to throw out the idea of a ceasefire and see if Russia reciprocates. If Russia is willing to reciprocate,

then this goes to the table.

And it's revealing if they say no.

I will bet you that Rubio is on the phone

with his counterpart in Russia

right now. Oh, absolutely.
Because that would be

huge for the president to announce tonight.

Absolutely. And I want to announce

a ceasefire deal. Can you imagine? That's big for us.
Huge. They're going to be working overtime on that one.
Yeah. I can guarantee it.
Alright, thank you very much for breaking in and just wrecking the flow of the show. And just come in with any tweets that you want.
Anytime. Just walk in with a tweet.
Even if you make them up, it's fine. We have no idea if what he just brought.
You just tweeted this. Trudeau is on saying, you know, America, your government is doing this.
You he Donald Trump has decided to risk your jobs and chosen to harm your national security. I mean, he's a smart guy, but this is a dumb thing for Donald Trump to do.
I do i mean it's trudeau is going to look good in his own country for this this is not good i will say one of the big errors i think of this policy and you know of all the anti-canada yeah uh stuff 51st state tariffs is it's you know trudeau's party was down by about 20 points going into election. They now lead.
You've got to be kidding me. The entire, I mean, the conservatives had basically locked this thing up and had a cakewalk.
And because of this sort of nationalist fervor that's been kicked up in Canada in response to this. I don't know why he did this other than he hates Justin Trudeau.
Well, I mean, he loves these, you know, he loves tariffs. He's told you that off the air.
I know, I know, but this was just a stupid move politically. He should have at least waited until after they had an election.
Yeah, I mean, it was just, he already hung himself. Trudeau.
Yeah, and you know, I wouldn't like it, well, I don't like it when Trudeau is lecturing us on things. Don't tell me.

Screw you.

This is what I think about that.

You know, I'm not a tariff guy.

Even hearing him talk about this makes me like, screw you, Trudeau.

I know.

That's where I even.

You could be for him and you're like, oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Well, we're going to double our double tariffs.

I'll tell you that.

I mean, you just go nuts.

Yeah.

It's not a good idea.

All right.

Back in just a second.

Sleeplessness can really be torture, especially if you're sleepless in Seattle.

I don't even know what that means.

Anyway, if you've ever been through it, you know it ruins your whole next day.

If you have sleep trouble on a regular basis, you're pretty much guaranteed to walk around feeling like a zombie most of the time.

And amazingly enough, feeling like a zombie kind of sucks. So far, that zombie feeling, I haven't eaten anybody, you know, so I don't think I'm full zombie.
I'm just kind of spaced out because I haven't had a good night's sleep. But now that doesn't happen because I have relief factor sleep or Z factor.

10 seconds, station ID. so um are the democrats even going to show up tonight jeffries is saying you know if you're democrat you really should show up are they really thinking that they won't show up to this that's insane i think they probably will i mean remember you know one of his what's his first one where he was talking and then pelosi ripped up the speech in the background yeah uh i don't i don't know that they've learned anything certainly but i don't know that that worked for them last time wasn't a great strategy i don't know we have i think we have a couple of minutes let's play let's play uh cut one this is from the new york times and they New York Times, and they're terrified of the Democrats.
They're like, okay, guys, we're more insane than you are, but you're actually saying these things out loud. We've stopped saying them.
Listen to this video from the New York Times. Democrats, your party leaders have a foolproof plan to stop Trump By boldly doubling down on everything that has never worked before.

We will win.

We won't win.

We won't rest.

We won't rest.

And your fellow Dems on social media are doing their part.

Congratulations, MAGA.

You got played by Donald Trump again.

You're so stupid.

F***.

Welcome to The Resistance. Trump is screwing over some of his own supporters.
I voted for President Trump to make America first again. You didn't vote for Trump eliminating federal funds.
No, I did not vote for that. In the campaign, they actually told us that he was not going to touch the documented people.
They used us. These regretful red hats.
I was a dumb ass voted for Trump. Are ripe for the taking.
I regret to support Trump. I'm no longer rocking with Trump.
So Democrats seize the opportunity. You didn't listen.
Follow these examples. I hope that you get everything that you voted for.
Stop. So this is the New York Times having to produce something saying, shut Schumer up.
Shut all of you lefties up. Shut up.
It's not going to work. You should say, hey, I used to, I voted for Trump, but I didn't vote for this.
This is the New York Times trying to teach the Democrats. No, but they don't have any bias.
Trying to teach the Democrats how to win. Now, I'll do that.
I'll do that. But I'm not claiming to be a journalist.
To be mildly fair to the New York Times here, that is an opinion piece. Yes, I agree.
So it is. You're right.
But still, you know. It was probably written by all their news reporters.
They're all like, yeah, and another thing. It's true, though.
I mean, this is what their perspective is, right? How do we heal? How do we fix this? And it's amazing that at least somebody over there is aware enough to understand because their news coverage does not echo this approach at all. The news coverage looks exactly like all the other news coverage, calling them Hitler 5,000 times a day.
So the Democrats, are they going to show up tonight? I know 45 Senate Democrats killed the legislation aimed at preventing trans-identifying males from competing against female athletes. That's crazy.
45, nobody stood up? Nobody. Nobody stood up and said, guys, this is not, you say you're for women? How is this? You're taking scholarships away from women who that was what they trained for their whole life to be able to get a scholarship on this.
And you've just taken that away. That's not that's not for women that you look at the women who are being hurt because that's a dude.
Nobody, nobody's willing to really stand up and lead the way on this with any kind of credibility with the Democrats? It appears to that Peyton McNabb, she's a 19 year old who was left with a traumatic brain injury after a trans man spiked a volleyball into her head. She's going to be there for a for tonight's speech as a special guest of President Trump.
so that's a big you know what's amazing um the democrats only seem to care about women if they're killing their baby or they're a sex worker if you're a sex worker hey you gotta not bodies for sports no i'm not going to protect your body if you want to play sports but if you want to be a sex worker i'm there i'm there to give you legal protection that's insane really revealing moment at the oscars uh the other night oh yeah oh yeah mikey madison who's the actress who won best actress for an aura it's a movie about a sex worker and i guess i have not seen it but it's supposed to be like a uh you know sort of like dramedamedy type of situation. Kind of funny or whatever.
But like, of course, when she makes the speech, she she comes out and talks about how like it can't just be like, hey, we made an entertaining movie with me having sex on screen for 45 consecutive minutes. Can't just be that.
It has to be, hey, there's a real point behind this. And the real point is that we have to make sex work into real

work. Let me quote.
I also just want to, again, recognize and honor the sex worker community. I'll continue to support and be an ally.
All of the incredible people, the women that I had the privilege of meeting from that community has been one of the highlights of this entire incredible experience. So you love the sex workers, which is so damaging to women.
So damaging. What's the intersection of this and Me Too Avenue? How many cars are piled up there? They never intersect.
They never intersect. I love too, she said, Glenn, that she had prepared for this role for six months.
Are you saying you were a prostitute for six months? Is that what you're saying? I'm sorry. What? How? Yeah, and by the way, keep standing up for Lily Phillips, the woman who had sex with a thousand guys.
Oh. She's perfectly fine after all of that.
Oh, yeah. She's pregnant too, isn't she? You hear that? Good for her.
Growing families.

Well, if she has that child, they're going to hate her.

She's got to kill it.

You can save 47 bucks off a subscription today only.

BlazeTV.com slash glenn this is the glenn beck program taking your phone calls today want to know what you want to hear from Donald Trump today? Let's go to North Carolina and Brandon. Hello, Brandon.
Hey, Glenn. How you doing? I'm great.
How are you? I'm good. First time caller.
First time getting through. Good.
Thank you. So you just touched on it.
I definitely want to hear Trump talk about the bill that was just proposed that every Democrat voted no on. I have a I have a nine year old daughter who plays soccer.
And the last thing I want is for, you know, the puberty age boys to start integrating. I mean, what could possibly go wrong, Brandon? Right.
They could just run her over, kick her in the face, which could happen with girls. But it's a little different.
Yeah, it is. Boy running down the field.
It is. I am shocked that the Democrats are still holding on to this, but they did.
And he is going to talk about it tonight. And I hope he is hard on Congress, not just on the Democrats, but on the Republicans.
They have got to get their crap together and start moving. It's 40 days in.
He has moved mountains. He's done stuff in 40 days that I haven't seen presidents do in an entire term, but he has to have Congress and the Republicans better get their crap together.
Thanks for your call. Ron in Missouri.
Hello, Ron. Hey, Glenn.
I would really like to hear less of the always overconfident Donald Trump as the entertainer and the politician and the campaigner, and more of a humble leader in the echo of Winston Churchill. I think this moment, our country needs the speech that all he's got to offer us is blood, sweat, toil, and tears.
And I think that has the real potential to unite people behind him. If he's frank that, you know, both parties for really all my lifetime have been digging this hole and it's going to take a lot of work and a lot of sacrifice on all of our parts to get out of this.
Um, not this, you know, pie in the sky. I'm going to fix everything my first day.
Golden age of everything. Talk.
I think frank reality and humble call to action would be really helpful. So can I compromise with you here, Ron? Because I don't mind the president coming in and saying, you hired me to stop illegal immigration.
We're down to the lowest illegal immigration since, I think, 1968. We have done that.
And we're still doing more. And we're deporting them.
I have made great progress on many things and lined them out. But then come to the economy.
I got to be straight with you on the economy. This is going to be tough, and I will work my butt off.
I will be there every second of the day. You've seen me.
I sleep three hours a day. I will give you everything, but I need Congress to do their part on this, but we're in this together.
Would you be okay with that compromise where he, because he's going to be Donald Trump? Yeah, no, I don't disagree with what you're saying there. And more than just on the economy, I think he needs to have a call to action for rooting out corruption.
Yes, yes. But I agree, he's got to tout what he has done and the steps he is taking.
I've got no problem with that. Just people need a realistic view that this isn't going to happen without pain.
Correct. Correct.
Ron, thank you very much. I'm glad to know you know that.
Philip, Minnesota. Hello, Philip.
Hey, Glenn. I'd like to see Trump go old school, Glenn Beck from the Fox days and just do some straightforward PowerPoints.

Here is everything the Democrat Party and the Biden regime did to get us to this situation.

Here's everything I plan to do to counter that.

Call Congress out.

Say, look, I can't make Congress act.

But if they fail to act for the American people come midterms, you can ensure that they do by voting them out. Simple as that.
That's very good. Thank you very much, Philip.
Carl, North Carolina. I'd love to hear Donald Trump say something that no president or congressman has ever said, and that is that the people with a capital P, highest office in the land, dutiful remnant, has the responsibility and the duty that's mentioned in the Constitution to enforce our Constitution.
And that will accomplish at least as much as Donald Trump and any other politician have accomplished. I agree.
I agree. That would be great for him to say.
I could see him saying that. Maybe not tonight, but I could see him saying that.
I've heard him say it is up to the people. He can only do so much constitutionally.
It is really up to us. That was one of the things I hated on Joe Biden's first speech that he gave eight years ago, the same night he gave it.
And remember, everybody was sitting like six feet apart and there were very few people there and they were all wearing masks. And he looked right at Schumer and all the others and said, we've come through this because of you.
And he wasn't talking to the American people. He was talking about the the people in the room he was talking about the politicians and he did that several times and it it made i mean it made the hair stand up on my my neck because i i'd never heard a president say it that way before where you know oh it's up to you i've heard that a million times when he's talking about the people.

But I'd like to hear a president, and I know Donald Trump does believe this, that it is up to you.

And really, everything that's been done is in spite of the people, for the most part, that are sitting there in Congress or the Senate.

Thanks for your call.

Let me take one more here. It's Jake in Iowa.
Actually, I have more time. I'll take a couple.
Go ahead, Jake. Greetings from Iowa, Glenn.
Hey, two things I'd like to see Mr. President say tonight is, as far as Doge uncovering this fraud and misuse of funds, I would love for him to say that they're going to prosecute to the fullest extent possible anybody who is caught funneling money.
And I'm talking like a la Elliot Ness, where we use some obscure laws and just punish them because this is the taxpayers' money in it. We have to discourage this terrible behavior of the nonprofits and what have you.
That's number one. And number two, I would like to hear him say that he's going to lift the social security cap.
Right now it's like at 168,000 or whatever. Once you earn more money than that year, they don't collect social, they don't withhold social security from your check.
And I don't know why that limit was put in there. Maybe, maybe you have a reason for that.
Yeah, because you're not getting more than that out everybody pays their fair share if you have to pay up to that if you make more

why are you taxed so much more because this was supposed to be an insurance policy for people

just like you and so you know it's no it wasn't but i know what you're saying that yeah i know

that i know that's the outward theory that was the outward theory and quite honestly as

Thank you. And so, you know, it's no, it wasn't.
But I know what you're saying. Yeah, I know that.
I know that's the outward theory. That was the outward theory.
And quite honestly, as somebody who does hit that cap, I don't like it. I mean, I don't.
I don't mind paying my fair share, but you know what? I pay a lot in taxes and I pay a lot more than, you know, most people.

And I don't bitch and complain about it it is something that is necessary i bitch and complain that they have wasted my money and quite honestly i am at the point when i see doge it makes me want to say F you to the IRS. You're not getting another damn dime from me.
You're stealing this money, okay? Because I don't want to contribute to almost anything that you're spending it on. And no, that's the way I really feel.
So, you know, I'm not for higher taxes on anybody. I would say, too, I would love to hear him say, we're repealing the payroll tax.
Full-fledged gone. I would love that.
That would be a great tax because to your point, first of all, everybody feels that tax if you have a job. Secondly, it's regressive.
The only time you ever feel it is when you first start working every kid says the same thing they're taking what yeah okay you lose that because you just get used to it that's why you should repeal the payroll tax yep because no you should feel it because there would be a revolution in this country absolute revolution Let me go to Mike. Hello, Mike.
Hey, how you doing, Glenn?

I'm great. would be a revolution in this country absolute revolution uh let me go to mike hello mike hey how you doing good great i would love to hear donald trump say russia and the united states are going to engage in another round of nuclear disarmament and we're going to use some of that savings from the deep state to rebuild our highways, our bridges, our electric grid system, and do what Eisenhower did.
So I think you're going to actually get some of that. I think Donald Trump does want to have that conversation with China and Russia and the rest of the world about reduction of our nukes.
He really does not like them. He knows what they really are.
And we are going to get our grid rebuilt. It has to happen because of AI.
We have to have a new grid. How long will that take? I don't know.
But I think that will begin under Donald Trump. One more thing on the last call when he says, you you know the last call said i i really want to hear the president say i'm going after these people the problem with that is there's been two i think missteps and they've happened in the last week there's been two missteps and only two by this uh presidency the first one was last week and and I don't believe it was Zelensky.
The first one was with the DOJ, with Pam Bondi, and the release or the non-release of Epstein. That was the first time I thought, oh, wow, maybe they're not serious.
Then they came out last night and said there's a truckload of files that were on its way by that deadline Friday. Okay, well, is that a truckload like you ever see, you know, you watch some, you know, law show and they're like, yeah, they just filled the conference room with boxes of papers just to stall and keep you busy looking in a needle in a haystack.
Is that what that is? So he's he's because of that misstep last week, they have hurt themselves on being able to say, and we're going to punish the bad guys. The the the other misstep is what's happening right now with the tariffs.
The economy is going down and we've got real problems and it's not because of Donald Trump. He's got to focus not on Canada and responding to Canada on tariffs.
He should be saying tonight, and that should be the only thing that he has to worry about, Congress, stop spending. Give me, pass the first budget.
This is so amazing I have to say this, and I can't believe it's true every time you do say this. Pass the first federal budget since 2008.
Pass a budget that I can sign and cut your damn spending, period.

All right, back in just a minute.

So I was watching Victor yesterday.

He's my German shepherd.

Or not, sorry, Victor, I was thinking my last dog

because he's so much like Victor Uno.

Five years ago, I saw Uno turn back time. He went back to being a puppy again, and he did it, I think, because of Rough Greens.
He never ran to his bowl, ever, never. And he was like running around the house playing.
He was like a puppy again, and he would run. He still runs to his bowl when I put rough greens in.
I mean, well, maybe a determined shuffle is more what he's got. But he's getting to the age now.
He's already older than any of my other German shepherds. And I thought I was going to lose him last summer.
And I hope I'm wrong like I was last summer, but I might lose him this summer. And he'll be the last German shepherd that we have.
And they follow you around. They're never more than five feet away from you.
They are so loyal. They are so good.
And I just want to take a second and say, thank you, Rough Greens, for giving me some of the best years of his life. And I think giving me more time with him.
Roughgreens.com. Just sprinkle it on your dog's food and watch your dog change.
Just add a scoop of rough greens. That's how you improve your dog's health.

It's rough greens. RUFFGreens.com.

It's roughgreens.com.

BEC will be right back. this tweet that just came out from Vladimir Lewinsky, Lewinsky, Zelensky.
Wow. Under the desk with President Trump, I guess.
Anyway, he said, I would like to reiterate Ukraine's commitment to peace. None of us wants an endless war.
Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians.
My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump's strong leadership to get that peace that lasts. We're ready to work fast and end the war.
And the first stages could be the release of prisoners and a truce in the sky and to ban missiles, long-range drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure, and a truce in the sea immediately if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all the next stages to work with the U.S.
to agree to a strong final deal. We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence.
We do remember the moment when things changed for us when President Trump provided Ukraine with javelins, and we are grateful for this.

Our meeting in Washington at the White House on Friday did not go the way it was supposed to go. It's regrettable that it happened this way.
It's time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.
regarding the agreement on minerals and security,

Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I hope it will work effectively.
Donald Trump should do this even if Ukraine only has a fax machine. Should get that agreement signed before tonight.
Interesting. He still wrote, he still said security guarantees, which was kind of what started the conflict.
We see this agreement as a step towards greater security. A step towards, though.
Which is good. I mean, that was what it was supposed to be, just a step toward something potentially in the future.

And I do think, you know,

just having Americans there

or American interests in the country

does help their guaranteed security.

That's what Donald Trump has been saying to him.

I agree.

So anyway, all right.

We will see you tonight, 6.30 Central Time,

7.30 Eastern Time,

only on blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Sign up.

We'll see you tonight.

This is Glenn Beck.
