Now let's get to work. Oh, oh, oh, oh, so much to talk to you about today.
Stu just said to me a minute ago, I saw all the topics today and I just wanted to give up. Yeah.
He's like, ah. What if we don't do a show? Do we need a show every day? No.
What if we just skip today? I'm with you on that. No.
Here's the thing. I saw the news of the day just the opposite.
I can't wait to tell you what I'm thinking because every story I read today is like, can we just think about this for a second? Can we just use some critical thinking, ask a few questions, tell a few stories if we have to to make sure you understand. And I'm going to start with the, what's his name? Chuckgi-oni bill that is happening in california not chuck though i also don't want to say his name so i'm happy with chuck so uh this new bill in california where hey insurance companies you gotta pay out you gotta pay out okay all right okay that might sound good but see it's's all in the balance here.
Otherwise, California, you're not going to have any insurance. And I'll explain.
And because you're in California, I'll talk like this, man. All right.
Like insurance. We talk about it next.
First, let me tell you about Rough Greens. If you're the type of person who's, you know, good at it, you spend a lot of time taking care of the ones you love.
That includes your dog, who is, let's face it, basically another member of the family. That's why I want to tell you about Rough Greens.
There is something missing between what your dog eats and what his body needs. And I'm talking about vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, all the stuff that make him happier and healthier.
All of those things are in Rough Greens. It's not a dog food.
It's a supplement and you sprinkle it on top of the food. I did it with my dog Uno just to try it and see what the hype was all about.
I just wanted him to eat, honestly, you know, change his life for the better. Yeah, yeah, sure.
I'm sure that will happen. I just want him to eat.
Well, not only does he eat, he literally runs to his bowl still and he's not doing well. He runs to his bowl.
He loves to eat. And I think it gave him a longer life and a better life.

So this, this new bill in California, I just, boy, oh boy, are they just, you don't get it, do you? You just don't get it, California. They're, they're, they're now talking about, and I had to check, see if this was an April Fool's joke, but it's not.
They're passing a new bill now where insurance companies have got to pay out if you put a claim in.
Okay.
All right.
Good.
And they can't wait.
They can't hold you back.
They can't. Hang on just a second.
They can't hold back. If you have the claim, they can't hold they can't hold you back they can't hang on just a second they can't they can't hold back if you have the claim they can't hold back okay good that's what you might be thinking good and it is good if you're really sick and you need something that's good but have you seen the scams that are happening in our country right now not everybody now i say that and have to say at the same time, have you seen the insurance companies lately? Some of them just like to screw you to the wall.
So what is the answer? Well, let me tell you the tale of two stories. One is how a lot of people see the insurance company.
They imagine the insurance company as a giant grumpy dragon that is sitting on a pile of gold just waiting there. I'm a dragon.
I like gold. I'm not going to let anybody have my gold.
Okay, and you're the brave knight. Why won't this go away? You're the brave knight.
I thought of the rest of the day I'm going to be doing the show in a cave. You're the brave knight who's been paying this dragon monthly a tribute every month and the dragon said you know i'm gonna take care of you and then when a disaster happens you go to the dragon and he's supposed to swoop in and save you with all of the gold sounds like a great deal right but here's here's the catch.
Dragons like gold.
So when you come running and screaming,
hey, I need help.
My house is burned down.
The dragon's like, yeah, I set it on fire.
Of course, I'm fire-breathing dragon.
I set it on fire, and I'm not going to pay for anything either.
Is the dragon the only one in the cave?
He's the only one in the cave.
And I don't know why he can fly to the guy and still be in the cave, but he's a big dragon. Okay, big dragon.
Okay, all right. So he's like, I'm not really sure that that was actually a fire.
Well, I'm not sure that was a fire. Did you fill out Form 37B in triplicate? And I'm going to need six weeks to think about it while I sit on my pile of gold.
That's the way most people think of insurance companies, that they're sitting on a pile of gold and they're never going to help you and they just have you file out all kinds of forms. Now, part of that is true with some insurance companies.
Some insurance companies suck. Others don't.
Should they suck? No. Are we going to cure this by saying everybody has to be paid and immediately and we can't stall or anything at all? No, that's not going to solve it.
It's going to make it worse. Now, here's the way I look at an insurance company.
Imagine an insurance company as a massive neighborhood potluck where everybody in the community has to bring a dish. That's their premium.
You come on in. You got to bring a dish.
And I prefer if you're really, really fat because you like to eat, you bring a bigger dish. okay? But everybody brings a dish.
And the head chef, let's call her Carla. Hey, I'm Carla back here, just managing the potluck.
That's all I'm doing. Everybody comes in and has to contribute something.
And maybe you bring a $10,000 casserole. I don't know, because you've got a bigger house and you're, I don't know, super, super fat.
Okay? Somebody else brings a $5,000 salad, which I would never, ever, what's a $5,000 salad? I mean, how could it possibly be that much? I would question the salad and I wouldn't eat it anyway. But I'd say to myself, it's $5,000.
It's got to be a good salad. But then I'd realize it's a salad.
Anyway, let's not focus on the salad here. The idea is that everybody brings
something in and puts it at the table. And if your house burns down, like in a California wildfire, or you need surgery after breathing in too much smoke, you can take a big helping from the potluck table to cover all the costs.
That's the way insurance is supposed to work. With the idea that not everyone is going to need a plate at the table that big at the same time because if everybody says i need that too i want to eat like the fat fatty over there and they don't need to eat like the fat fat fatty then what happens nobody has food eventually you run out of car a little smoked.
All right. I'm just sitting here back, back here, smoking cool cigarettes.
What the hell, how am I supposed to feed all these people? She has to have enough food on the table for everybody who needs it. But she also knows she's got to run the potluck next week, too.
So if you let everybody take everything that they want, whenever they want, the table will be empty in about an hour. There's nothing left for the disaster.
Carla has to be a little stingy. I know your house burned down, but I need to make sure that your house actually did burn down before I give you some more mashed potatoes.
Let me just check on that first. She's not trying to rip you off.
If she's with a good insurance company, she's making sure the potluck just doesn't turn into a free-for-all where the table gets cleared out and the whole system collapses. Now let's bring in Luigi.
Hey, it's me, Luigi. I love shooting people in the head on the street.
Okay. Anytime you have a ballot measure where you're making that guy the good guy, your state has a problem.
So it's a new potluck rule here. Carly, you can't make anybody wait for their plate for the insurance or the food.
You't you can't say no to anybody who's hungry okay well I've got a hundred people right here and they're all telling me they're hungry and they're all telling me it's an emergency and I know some of them are going to take some of that food and put it into a purse and hold it for later and that's not what this is about I got to feed the people who are hungry but if I have to serve everybody right away no questions asked okay then i run out of food and guess what then i don't have any food for anybody carla's not wrong she's been running the numbers it's actually bad sous sous chef he's an actuary named dave he's got a spreadsheet anyway he's looking at dave says you know after the 2018 campfire i mean we served up 12 billion dollars worth of plates to victims uh we can't do this anymore because we only had that much because 70 of the folks at the potluck didn't need a plate that year.
They brought their own casseroles and salads, but their house didn't burn down.
They didn't come starving at the table.
If everybody is starving at the table and they all come in to cash, we're not going to have enough food.
That's what insurance companies are.
And California just doesn't seem to understand this insurance is almost a casino the way bad insurance runs they run it like a casino where the house always wins no matter what you're like bing bing bing bing, bing, bing. I won.
And it's like, nope, sorry. Sorry you didn't win.
Glitch in the machine. Somebody make this guy go away.
That's the way bad insurance run. But in insurance, it's not a guarantee.
It's a bet that this company is taking on you. that's why you know back in the old timey days when you know we were sailing across the sea and i don't know there were mermaids and sea monsters that would take down the ships back i'm talking the old old timey days you know back in like the 1940s and you had to have insurance for your ships and there were these you know english guys were like, this is my ship and I'll guarantee that ship.
And it's got some tea on it and maybe some snuff, lots of snuff on it. Somebody had to underwrite that in case the ship went down.
So the snuff people didn't go out of business. So the tea people didn't go out of business.
But if all the ships claim to have gone down, the guy who's underwriting all of the insurance doesn't have any more money left. So then nobody gets any money.
It's a bet. The problem is our government has made insurance so deeply in bed with the government.
And then you have these politicians who, let's be honest, are only attorneys.
That's all they are.
They're attorney.
Have you ever liked an attorney?
Honestly, have you ever, except for on TV, maybe you liked an attorney on TV,
but you don't like attorneys.
You might like them until you find out they're an attorney. He's a really good guy.
Then I found out he was an attorney. But nobody wants to hang out with attorneys.
Nobody wants to work for a company run by attorneys. I don't even think attorney firms want to work for attorney firms because they're all run by attorneys.
They don't know how to do anything except say no.
Oh, gosh.
That's what our states are like.
They're all run by attorneys.
And these attorneys think they can craft some legalese that will make everything right.
You can't.
If our society is rotten to the core, then our businesses are going to be rotten to the core.
And no amount of fancy $500 attorney businesses are going to be rotten to the core and no amount of
fancy $500 attorney words are going to fix that. Everything we have in our society is built on trust.
You know why the insurance company is going out of business? Because it can't trust that there aren't people bilking the system. You know why you don't have, why you get really upset when your mother is sick and you can't get the insurance that was promised to you? Because you have insurance companies that are bilking the system.
Everybody has to play fair. But California, are you really this stupid? You just, what was it? Like 40% of the people whose house burned down was because they didn't have insurance because these evil insurance companies canceled.
Because you can't control the fires. Every year, everybody's house seems to burn down or slide into the ocean from mud.
You can't, the insurance companies can't
afford it and you won't let them raise the rate. So they just like, okay, well then I'm not doing
business here. What do you think's going to happen on this? Now, some of this might be needed.
I
don't know. I'm not from California.
Don't care to be from California. Don't read that much about
California because they're all insane. But what do you think is going to happen with this? Here's what's going to happen.
They're going to raise the rates. And then you're going to say you can't raise the rates.
And then when you force them to make sure that everybody gets coverage and you can't ask any questions and so fraud goes through the roof, then what will happen is they'll go out of business or they'll say we're going to go out of business because California is telling us we can't raise the rates. So we're going to get out and then you know what those attorneys will do? You can't leave California.
You can't leave. And then what happens? I don't know how this story ends.
We should look into Karl Marx. I bet he has a good ending for that story.
Let me tell you about pre-born. In case you still might be on the fence whether Joe Biden was a guy that was a good president or not, here's a little fun fact for you.
His administration loosened all kinds of restrictions on the chemical abortion pill, didn't require the NIH to report the injuries it was causing to the women who took it. And now, to this day, this little pill is bringing death to babies and injury and death to moms, and some of them are teenagers.
Pre-born is about changing the hearts and minds of people. When it comes to the abortion issue, you're never going to outlaw it.
You never. We have to change hearts.
By showing an expecting mother a free ultrasound of her unborn child, she sees the unexpected. And that is, wow, it's not just a lump of flesh.
It's actually a child. And that increases the chances dramatically that she's going to choose life for that baby.
They're doing God's work on earth every single day, and they need your help because most women are choosing abortion because they just don't think they can afford the baby. They have no help or support at home, and that's why pre-born is there for up to two years after the baby is born.
And I've seen them change lives. One ultrasound is $28.
$140 helps rescue five babies. You're not going to regret the choice to save lives.

baby. That's pound 250.

Sponsored by Preborn. 10 seconds station idea.
it was a complicated analogy and a lot of that was right purely shooting out of my butt. So did that make sense? Did I get that right? I think so.
Yes, it was a journey, I will say. That's not a good review.
It was like... It's not a good review.
I wouldn't eat at that restaurant with... It was a journey.
It was like the last season of game of thrones i was a little i was a little confused but you got us there i think at the end all right okay all right uh am i reading this wrong what's happening in california no i think you're right i mean it's it's shocking shocking they just don't get it and i'm really disgusted by the hero worship of this loser.
It's really revolting.
I don't even want to say his name, but they're really making him.
On the left, he's just a celebrity in a lot of circles.
He's just this great guy who did this great thing.
He just murdered a dad as he's walking on the sidewalk.
He murdered a father.
So let me just ask, because the whole show today is just, can we think these things through?
Can we just... Critical thinking.
Critical thinking. We just have to ask some questions.
So let me just ask, because the whole show today is just, can we think these things through? Can we just, I just.
Critical thinking. Critical thinking.
We just have to ask some questions. So let me just ask you some questions.
When did it become okay just to gun somebody down on the street because you feel they, and when I say they, I don't mean them, that individual, but somebody they work with, some industry they are in, in somebody they represent that it's okay to kill them i mean it's certainly not glenn i mean and in a right in a pathetic way and i don't mean this with any like direct like line for this being true but like when it happened there was this thought that i think it went through everybody's mind was which was like this kid's dad was denied a claim by this company and this ceo had some hand in it it wasn't even close to that it was this like really poorly thought out, generalized, awful liberal critique of the healthcare industry.
And it was this like really poorly thought out generalized awful liberal critique of health care in the health care industry and it was like he he even said in his manifesto i'm not the best guy to explain it because i don't really understand it but this is terrible yeah like i'm sorry if you're not the best guy to understand it maybe you don't murder people on the side like would it be okay for me after that explanation of insurance to go murder somebody in the street?
No.
No.
Maybe, well, it would be me.
I was going to say maybe the person that helped write that analogy, but that would be me.
So would it be okay for me to kill my...
I'm confused.
I'm confused again.
You're deep into another analogy.
I will say you've talked so much about AI.
Run it through AI, please.
Next time you're running a manifesto, can you put it through chat GPT? Let Grok have a shot at it so at least it makes some freaking sense. At least it looks like you've thought about this after taking a man's life.
You know, there are going to be times where people, let's say truckers go on strike. And that makes the price of your eggs go up.
And everything else goes up okay let's just say yeah that happens and your family is really struggling and you are barely making it um and you know you lost your house because you couldn't afford food and the house you had to buy the food for the family so you lost your house would that make it okay to go up to some random trucker and shoot them in the head? No.
Right.
That's what we're talking about here.
And I don't understand when did that become okay for half the nation?
When did that become okay, so okay, that one of the 50 states can introduce a bill where that guy is referenced in a positive way.
I mean, that's going to be the theme of the show.
How do we even talk to each other?
Honestly, how do we talk to each other?
I'm going to show you how we can talk to each other,
hopefully on a few issues today.
Stick around. We've got a lot more, and most of it will be understandable.
Coming up. This is Glenn Beck.
All right, I want to talk to you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. If you're like me, you're a firm supporter of the Jews in the state of Israel, and most of the time that manifests in the way you say it and how you pray.
But if I told you that there was a way to stand up for Israel with real, tangible action on top of the things that you say and the things that you pray, would you do it? it's one thing to stand up against the rise of anti-Semitism, both in our country and around the world, ever since the heinous acts of October 7th over a year ago. And that's incredibly important to stand up and say it.
But also our spiritual brothers and sisters over in the Middle East still face significant security threats every single day from their enemies. And that's true all over the world now.
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground in Israel, and they know this better than anyone else, and they need your help. They're providing Israelis with life-saving security essentials, things like bomb shelters, armored security vehicles, ambulances, firefighting equipment, flak jackets, bulletproof vests.

I want to talk to you about it. Can we just talk about common sense today? Just common sense and critical thinking.
I think that's the problem with our nation. Nobody understands critical thinking.
So let's take one story here. And this is the woman who got hit by the bus, Virginia.
How do you say her last name? Jaffray Jaffray yeah okay she's the one that was
in the picture
with Jen The woman who got hit by the bus, Virginia. How do you say her last name? Jaffray.
Jaffray. Yeah.
Okay. She's the one that was in the picture with Jeffrey Epstein at, I don't know, the island or someplace with Prince Andrew.
Okay. And I believe she's a victim.
I don't have anything to back that up other than I believe Prince Andrew is an absolute dirtbag. And I believe that Jeffrey Epstein was also a major dirtbag.
And so why was this young girl with Prince Andrew with his arm around her, you know, standing in somebody's house? I mean, it just I don't, I'm sorry. Okay.
But that's me making a judgment.
That's not legal. That's just me making a judgment.
Okay. So the story came out yesterday and it is everywhere now.
And everybody is like, you know, you know, the FBI is trying to kill her. So she can't make it to the testimony.
What? I knew Jeffrey Epstein wasn't dead. He's driving a bus in Perth, Australia.
He's what?
You don't buy that?
No, I... knew Jeffrey Epstein wasn't dead he's driving a bus in Perth Australia he's what what you don't you don't buy that no I strangely I don't it would be an interesting twist to the story it really would now she apparently has four days to live from what date what and what is the okay let me just yeah yeah that's a weird part i agree okay let me just give you some
questions and this does not mean that she's not telling the truth that she's not got four days to live or two days at this point i don't know how many days she has okay it it doesn't mean that i don't believe the story it just means can can we just stop and ask some critical questions and i'm going to do this to every story today. Okay.
The article mentions Lady Victoria Hervey as the source of the claim that she only has four days to live.
Now, I don't know Lady Victoria Hervey.
Do you?
I know Hervey Villages, the little plane from Fantasy Island.
I don't know who this woman is. So who is she? What's her relationship to this woman? Does she have a history of reliable reporting? Does she have any bias? She's a lady.
Does she have a problem with Prince Andrew? I don't know. But that's the first question we should ask is, who is this woman that's claiming all of this stuff? Then the next question is, are there any primary sources of the accident claim? Well, no, no.
Her spokesperson, they said that she's in the hospital. Okay.
Can we get some independent verification of any of this?
I believe she's in the hospital.
I believe she's sick.
Don't get me wrong.
But what happened? Why is there a lack of official evidence or statements from any authorities?
The article notes that as of March 31st, 2025, there are no official, there is no official evidence or
statement from authorities. Well, wait.
Okay. What could explain that? And does that have an impact at all on you believing this story or not? What specific details are missing about the.
And why might they not be available?
The exact date, the location, the official police report, they're not there.
They're not.
It's not been released.
What?
Now, is this due to a lack of paper?
Maybe they're run out of ones and zeros to write up a report in Perth. I don't know what the situation is in Perth.
I mean, it could be bad. Is there no media access? And how is how the description of the accident? How plausible is it? They claim that she was hit by a school bus traveling at 110 kilometers at 70 miles an hour.
Okay. I could see that happening, but I think the big story there would also be in Perth.
There was an out-of-control school bus going 70 miles an hour. Were there kids on board? What happened there? You know, it should do some injuries, not just with a person they hit, but they say that she had severe injuries like kidney and renal failure.
Okay, that seems like it could happen. It's 70 miles an hour.
You're hit by a bus, but is 70 miles an hour realistic for a school bus in a residential area? And really, I mean, okay, I guess maybe four days to live. They can't keep you, you can't keep your kidneys going for more than four days.
I don't know what else is wrong. She looks bad.
I've seen the post of her. She looks bad.
But do we believe this? Do we just go on and start making accusations one way or another? See, this is why when they don't release the information about Jeffrey Epstein and they say that he hung himself with a paper sheet, this is what happens. This is what happens.
People don't believe anybody. And so then they start, start i mean this is the disturbing part of this story to me is see the fbi is trying to kill her or she can can testify on anybody else they want her dead wait wait now we're on to cash patel wants her dead now i can't explain why Kash Patel and why Pam Bondi have not released this, but I don't think I'm on the train yet of, Kash Patel is driving a school bus in Perth.
I don't see that as a logical place. Seems busy.
Too busy to have a second job, for especially that far away is there is there anybody is there anybody with any narrative at all any eyewitness accounts to any of this the police did say that there was a minor crash that happened that's not a minor crash is it i mean you could get banged up by a minor crash it doesn't mean you have four days 70 miles or 70 kilometers yeah uh you know that's not a minor crash with a school bus no one knows what that speed that is though it could be three it could be three miles an hour you're right that's the problem until we find out that should be in the story too why are they only using kilometers bring in some scientists see if they can convert it or at. No one knows.
Nobody knows. You're right.
I do think, too, the four days thing is a weird one. Did you hear it anywhere that she has four days to live in a quote? Maybe I missed it.
But, like, where I saw it was from the dad who said she has four days. Well, that.
What? Four days until she leaves the hospital four days until what four days to live really i don't know it's a very fair i don't know i don't know this is this is a problem with anything epstein i think yes any any little shred of something and people are so desperate looking for any truth here that they just jump on anything and it blows up. Now, that could be exactly as reported, although it's reported different ways in several different publications.
So it's hard to know even what you're supposed to. So here's the thing.
We can't always answer all of the questions. We can't tell you what's true.
OK, on this one. No, we can't.
We don't have we don't have any of the facts on this one, but we can say, hang on, let's ask some critical questions.
And if you're not using critical thinking, if you're not asking questions like why are all these things left out?
Why is this not you can jump to a conspiracy theory if you want, but you might also want to just go until I find these things out.
I'm not going to go online and pass this off as see i told you space aliens were real maybe space aliens were driving the bus i don't know but uh because i don't know i don't think i'm going to go on and dog pile on that right now this is where our responsibility as human being kicks in. We see things that we think are outrageous, and because they're outrageous, and because the algorithms reward you for being outrageous, you just post it.
I mean, I've done this myself. I'm not lecturing to you.
I'm lecturing to myself as well. I've done this myself.
I've seen things, and I'm like, that's crazy. Well, Glenn, did you stop and think maybe it's too crazy? Well, no.
I mean, usually things I think are too crazy actually end up happening. And that's another problem.
And again, that's the problem with our media and our governments and our banks, our corporations, our churches in some cases, they're not telling you the truth. Well, that's just a conspiracy.
What, that you didn't tell me the truth? Now or when you said ESG was a conspiracy? When were you telling me? Because I'm confused here. That's the way we like it only critical thinking is going to
get us out of this and we have to do critical thinking on everything that we see i mean it's i don't i don't know have you seen how people are cheering a for tesla we told you about that yesterday and how is anyone did you see what elon musk and uh his venture capitalist friend found he came in volunteered for you know social security to try to clean that up they don't strike me as deep conservatives and they're on stage and they're explaining what happened to social security and half the country is just saying They're liars. They're explaining what happened to Social Security.
And half the country is just saying, they're liars.
They're liars?
Or even better, so what?
They gave that Social Security numbers and the benefits to people who just came here illegally.
They're people too.
Okay, all right.
Okay, we're going to have to have a talk on that as well, because there's a few stories that are exactly like that, that we have to step back. I'm going to, I'm going to try next hour to teach you how to talk to your friends and your family that they don't understand and you don't understand them.
And you're like, I don't under, I'm going to give you a couple of stories next hour. And I'm going to take you through the critical thing just the questions that you need to ask them and you're like i don't i'm gonna give you a couple of stories next hour and i'm gonna take you through the critical thing just the questions that you need to ask them and you just need to play it out like this and just be just be open and honest don't try to win i just want to ask you some questions about this story because there are questions i've been asking myself on these stories i just asked my questions i don't know where i stand on this, you know, the woman that I think Prince Andrew, you know, raped.
I don't know. I don't know.
That's my opinion. But I can't tell you about the four days to live because I don't have enough information.
Do you know anybody who has said that to you on this story? Have you seen anyone online pass that story on and go, you know, I just don't have enough information to comment on this? No, no, no. Everyone has an opinion, even though we don't have any information.

But believe it or not, dieting doesn't have... This guy just will not shut up.
Okay. It can be dangerous, though, Glenn.
It can lead to risk of heart attack or stroke or type 2 diabetes or can cause other health problems. I have to listen to you anymore.
I'll be praying for a stroke.

The code is Blaze20. Yeah, I got some common sense for you right here that we're going to talk to you about Tesla.
Also, the third term. Did you see what the New York Times said about Donald Trump in the third term thing? I actually found this fascinating.
You know, he's been he's been like, you know, I could go for a third term. I don't know.
Who knows? Maybe. Well, the Constitution says no.
I know Steve Bannon says, you know, there's ways to do things. Yeah, there's lots of ways to do things if you don't care about the law.
You know, but anyway, do you see what they said? New York Times said they thought it was a possibility he was just saying this so he doesn't become a lame duck in the last two years. Yeah.
That's really smart of them. That's very smart.
No, you don't think so? I mean, it's an argument. It's an argument.
Is it the argument? I don't know. Is it the true thing? Is it the thing we should be doing? Or is it a thing to say? That's what I feel like.
We're always in this world now. We found a thing to say.
Look, yes, I guess it would at a political advantage to him if people thought he was running for a third term and he didn't actually mean it and that you know because you're right the the lame-dunk thing is a problem for presidents a great way to solve that uh uh you know i guess could be this if you then in addition to that and on the other side the other track is that it's you're right not not constitutional well and a problem i mean even the fake stuff they're trying to do with like oh well we're going to put him as secretary of state and then we're going to change the law to change the order of of of succession and then we're going to have both the president and the vice president step down at the same time it's like what are we doing i would love the president i would love the president and john quincy adams did this and john quincy adams is the reason i believe we got rid of slavery it wasn't abraham lincoln john quincy adams because john adams was so against uh slavery he taught his sons to be against slavery and john quincy adams was the president couldn't make the moves on slavery knew it had to come from the House of Representatives. So he went and he served not as the Speaker of the House, just as a representative.
The President of the United States became a congressman that was up for reelection every two years. But he's the guy who actually changed, got Abraham Lincoln to be who he was when he stood up and was trying to keep the country together.
It's an amazing story. I would love to see Donald Trump run for Congress and then be elected Speaker of the House.
Oh, that would be fun. Oh, that would be fun.
It would be fascinating. It would be fun.
Again, he doesn't even have to run for Congress to be Speaker of the House. That's right.
That's right. It could be anybody.
That's right. I mean, it's unlikely that that happens, but it could happen.
Do you think he's going to lose? There's no way. I mean, he'd pick a district he would go into win for sure.
Yeah. But still, I mean, he wouldn't even need to run.
And I think the Republican Party would embrace it, honestly. I just, you know, again, we don't need to.
He's doing. Let him do his job.
Yeah. like this is just a, it is a distraction.
It might be a distraction on his part to the media, but still. That's why I have some critical thinking coming your way on this and also the Tesla and the social security scams that we found out about yesterday.
Coming up. This is Glenn Beck.
You know, you never know what's going to happen. The future is is completely open-ended every day you have to climb out of bed knowing that pretty much anything could happen given that why wouldn't you do everything you can to make sure you're at least prepared for the things that you see as possible you know there's things that are just you know highly highly unlikely um but so such a bad impact fire insurance.
You've got to have fire insurance, right? Because it's catastrophic if it happens, but it's unlikely to happen. Well, one thing that's not unlikely to happen is somebody in the family gets sick while you're on vacation.
Now, let's increase the odds of not happening. Let's say it happens in the middle of the night and you're in some place.
You don't have a doctor there.
You don't.
The pharmacies are closed, whatever.
That could also happen.
Probable.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Hello, America.
A lot to get to.
We're going to get right to it in 60 seconds.
First, one of the most valuable assets you'll ever have, maybe the most valuable, is your identity. Not just because it's what ties you to all your money, either.
It's what ties you to your good name, your credibility in the world. And you need to understand that there are people absolutely positively, people out there right now who can't just wait to steal all of that from you.
Cybercrime is not getting less common, it's getting more common. We live in a technological age and every day, every day, the tools for finding and stealing your identity get a little more sophisticated, a little bit easier to use.
The only thing standing in that gap is the security you and I use and the one I recommend, LifeLock. LifeLock.com literally scans hundreds of millions of data points every second.
That's not something their competition can easily match. They protect you from the most heinous threats and they help you rebuild if you are re-victimized.
It's easy to protect yourself. It's LifeLock.

So I couldn't sleep last night. My head was just spinning all night just thinking about stuff, and I couldn't get a couple of stories out of my mind.
First, the Social Security thing we're going to talk about that Elon Musk was in Wisconsin, along with a buddy of his, a guy who volunteered as a big CEO of a venture capitalist thing and volunteered because he wants to clean up the government and all of the waste and the graft and everything else. And they they made an announcement.
We'll play for you about Social Security. The other thing, Wisconsin has a big vote today, and this could mean the balance of the House Republican, Democrat.
And we'll see. And we'll see what happens today.
How many people are going to be out voting? We're going to talk to Ron Johnson about it here in just a second and the importance of it. If you happen to be in Wisconsin, probably a day to go out and vote.
Not probably, definitely a day to go out and vote. Then I was also thinking about the protests again on Elon Musk.
I just can't get past these things because these are global protests. And this is what kept me up.
These are global global protests these are demonstrate demonstrators outside of tesla showrooms we've seen fires we've seen people burning the the cars and the lithium batteries but we're seeing them all over the world so can we just stop i today's theme of the show is just can we ask some critically thinking questions? Can we do that? Before we accept this story, let's ask some things. This is what really kept me up last night.
Can anybody tell me what these protesters are responding to? And I'm not talking here in America. I'm talking about in England, in Germany, wherever a Tesla showroom is, people are protesting.
I would just like to know, what are the people in England protesting? What policy? What decision? Because Musk isn't pushing a global war. He's not erecting the tariffs i mean i would understand it if people in europe were protesting on the tariffs because that would actually affect the average person okay this these here's here's what here's what he's doing he's helping lead a department focused on the united states federal budgeting and efficiency.
Why would anyone in Germany or Sweden or Ireland care? Why? I mean, I looked last night. I tried to find, has there been anything like this in history? No, you can go to people protesting the nukes and war and everything, but not this.
There's nothing where a domestic policy dispute has all of a sudden swept the globe. So why would they care about this so deeply? Getting out of NATO? Okay.
even if they were saying uh you know Greenland America just wants to buy Greenland and they're out you know protesting okay I can see that for some degree but I can't see people in I don't know whatever city Greenland has or the people in Denmark you rising up and saying, this policy that Elon Musk is doing in the United States, trying to make the government more efficient, that's just outrageous. Come on, Sven, let's go out and burn a Tesla.
Makes no sense. Have you ever seen a protest in foreign countries over a U.S.
cabinet appointment ever in your life? Not over war, not over climate treaties, not over global trade, but over something that deals with cutting our budget that will not affect really anybody overseas. Yeah, it's unprecedented.
It does. It's never happened.
So who benefits?
That's the first question. The first question is, have you ever seen this before?
Second, why would anybody in Europe care about this? Three, who benefits?
Well, let's look at Tesla. This is the company that made electric cars mainstream.
It just Who benefits? Well, let's look at Tesla. This is the company that made electric cars mainstream.
It jump-started the global EV race. When everybody was saying, we've got to have electric cars, we're like, no, hydrogen would be even better.
Got to have electric cars. Well, they don't work.
Here comes Elon Musk, and he starts Tesla. Tesla.
He not only develops solar panels battery storage charging infrastructure things environmentalists have been begging the world to adopt for decades okay and then wait all of a sudden the very people who claim climate change is the greatest i'm quoting them the greatest threat to humanity are now trying to cripple or even burn down the company doing the most to solve it. That doesn't make sense.
Does that make sense to you? That's not activism. That's contradiction.
It's a mental illness, really. That's what it is.
It's a mental illness. If that makes sense to you, then you should see a doctor.
if you believe in saving the planet, how does driving the number one force for clean energy or torching lithium batteries help you at all? How does boycotting EVs help you? Terrorizing people that bought Tesla EVs. How does that help you? How does trying to destroy the most innovative clean energy company in the world move us toward your goal? Answer, it doesn't.
It doesn't. So let's ask a deeper question.
Are all of the claims you've made since the 1980s, 90s, how we're all five years away from something worse than World War II? You know, we're all going to die in a fiery flood. Is that true? Any of that? Or is this about control? Because if we only have five years to do something, why are you stopping Tesla? Why would you do that? We only have five years.
These guys are helping us. Doesn't make sense.
Elon Musk did not become controversial when he built Tesla or when he launched rockets or when he championed electric energy. When did he suddenly become controversial? And it's not Donald Trump.
It's when he stood up and defended free speech. That's when they turned on him.
When he bought Twitter and exposed the censorship that we now can prove happened. When he said he wouldn't be a pawn for either side, that's when it happened.
That's when the outrage machine flipped on. They had to put him out of business, have to put him out of business.
And when people try to justify it, they usually pivot to one word. Well, he's a fascist.
So let's ask some questions on that one. Well, this isn't about Tesla.
It's about stopping Musk. He's a billionaire fascist.
Okay. All right.
Let's think about that for a second. What do you think? I feel like, You know, I feel like Montoya, six-fingered man.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
What does fascism mean? What is a fascist? Is it simply somebody with a lot of money and a large platform? Is that what it is? Is it somebody who questions centralized authority? Is it someone who wants less government interference, not more? Because none of those things are the definition of fascist. Traditional fascism is defined by state control, forced conformity, censorship, and the silencing of dissent.
That's what fascist does so will you recognize you don't understand the word fascist or fascism and maybe you can pick another word but that one you know i could i could i could call my car a horse or a goat all day long it's not going to make it a horse or a goat it's still a car so you So you can call him a fascist all you want, but it doesn't make him a fascist. Let's find another word that might work for you.
Maybe political opponent is better. By the way, Musk, that fascist, is the one being protested, censored, and attacked for trying to create platforms where dissent is allowed.
How? Don't you have a headache? If you're on that side, don't you have a headache? We should bring our friends aspirin. You've got to have a headache.
This is heavy lifting you're doing. So here's the question.
Is he really a fascist? Or is he a powerful figure who doesn't obey the approved narrative? Because that's what it is. That's the same thing with Trump.
He doesn't care what the approved narrative is. He's just going to do it, whether you like it or not.
That doesn't make you a fascist. It makes you a fascist if you're telling everyone they must conform.
If somebody is a fascist for promoting open dialogue, transparency and government accountability, what do you call the people who are trying to shut him down by any means necessary, including violence?
See that because if you take the word fascist away and you apply it to him, there's no word for the people who are actually trying to silence people through violence or terroristic activities. There's no word.
You've taken the word. And, you know, the worst thing is, and I said this about racism, how many years ago? 30 years ago? Can we stop calling everybody a racist? Stop calling everybody racist.
Just like in the 90s. You're overusing that word.
It's going to let real racists go by the wayside because it will have no meaning anymore. The same thing with fascists.
What do you do when actual fascists arrive? So let's get back to the root. These protests, they don't make any sense.
Let's ask some more questions. Who's organizing these protests? Who's funding these protests?
Who gains power or influence if Tesla's brand is damaged?
If Musk is silenced?
Or if the public believes the world is against him?
Because regular people do not throw together rallies on a Saturday across the border, across the ocean to protest over American federal staffing decisions.
It doesn't happen.
You know what I'm really upset about?
Have you seen what they've done?
They're cutting some teacher salary over in Ireland.
Oh, okay.
I don't care.
I don't live in Ireland. I don't care.
It doesn't affect my life at all. So how is this affecting their life? It takes planning.
It takes money. It takes messaging.
It takes media amplification. It takes global coordination.
Gee, that doesn't sound like a grassroots operation at all, does it? And if the protests are being driven by a narrative and not facts, then isn't it fair to ask this question? What narrative are we being sold? And who's paying for all that advertisement? See, we're living in an age now where perception is power. That's it.
One viral video can topple a reputation. One headline can shape an election.
And if you can convince the public that even climate heroes are suddenly now villains just because they challenge a certain system, not even the one you say is the most important of all time, then you can control almost any story. And they know that.
So here's the challenge for you today. I think you're going to love it.
This is for you and the people you love. Think.
Think. Ask.
Question with boldness. Is this protest helping the environment or hurting it?
Is this outrage spontaneous or coordinated? Is the word fascism being used to reveal the truth or to shut down a conversation? And most importantly, are we now burning down the lifeboats just because we don't like the captain of the ship? because if we are, we might win the argument today,
but did you see the... just because we don't like the captain of the ship? Because if we are, we might win the argument today,
but did you see the end of Titanic?
Maybe we should watch that.
I'm the king of the world.
Was that Elon Musk?
Did he actually sink that ship?
Might be.
He's a fascist, you know.
And the number one thing that fascists do, sink big ships. Okay, they never done that.
But since we're redefining the word fascist, they sink big ships. Back in a minute.
If you're living day in and day out with aches and pains, you're probably, you know, you know what it's like. You know what it's like pulling a plug on you.
Your energy is slowly just draining out of you. It doesn't do a lot for your mood either or your outlook on life at all.
I know exactly what it's like to feel. You've tried everything.
Nothing is working. That's why I'm telling you relief factor is different.
Please try it yourself. It doesn't work for everybody.
I'm straight up with you on that. It works for about 70% of the people who try it.
That may not be you, but it might be. And if you're like me and it works, you can get out of pain.
The best thing is it's not a quick fix. It's a long-term solution to help you get out of pain and stay out of pain.
And it's helped a ton of people. And you might be the next one.
Try it. 1995.
Try the Relief Factor three-week quick start. Less than a dollar a day.

okay uh let me get into the uh ssi thing here the social security insurance so uh elon musk and a friend of his where they were out um in wisconsin doing a um doing a rally or a town hall and they were talking about how um uh how they what they found in social security horrible. The the government was giving away Social Security numbers and it wasn't haphazard.
It was planned. People were coming across the border and they were handing them a Social Security number.
And it was clear that I don't remember the numbers, but it's a very high number there. We are paying people who came here illegally.
We're giving them Social Security. When our old people can't afford to eat, we're just giving this away to people who are here illegally.
That's crazy. Crazy.
So, you know, we don't survive as a nation without some accountability and without some common ground. And I don't know, again, when did it when did it become OK to cheer or jeer for somebody who's stopping corruption in our government? When did it be OK? I mean, how did we get here? How do we get to the point to where people actually cheer the idea of our government secretly and denying it, if you ask them, giving taxpayer funded benefits like Social Security to millions of people who are here illegally? And most people don't even blink now.
How did we get, forget politics, forget red team, blue team.
Just let me say this.
Just ask your friend, ask yourself this question. If the people you trusted the least were doing this, would you be okay with it? That's to my side.
Would you be okay with it? I would be fine if you had an Elon Musk in there doing this. Be totally fine.
And exposing all of this? Yep. It's not a gotcha.
It's a principle. It's critical thinking.
Would you be okay? You know, critical thinking really needs to make a comeback. Because when we stop thinking critically, we start defending nonsense because our side is doing it.
And we lose something bigger than an argument. We lose trust.
We lose connection. We lose the ability to have any kind of honest conversations with the people that we love.
So how do you talk to your friends and your family who just don't seem to see what we see? Well, it doesn't start with confrontation. It starts with curiosity, which brings us to questions you can ask.
You ask them, can we just look at this as if we didn't know who was in office? Because then we can find our principles. Would you still feel like this was OK? What's the limiting principle here? If this is allowed for the government to deny that they're doing this, but give all of this money, all of these benefits to people who are here illegally while denying they're doing it, and it's not within the bounds of the law, if we can just do this now, is there any limiting principle? What can't we do? What happens to a country when the law no longer means what it says? Don't accuse.
We just need to start inviting people to answer these questions.
Show respect for their mind.
Because deep down, most people do not want to be hypocrites.
They don't.
And that's the conflict that they're having in their head right now.
They want to be consistent.
They want to be fair.
But sometimes they just need a little help connecting the dots. So what they'll say is, well, Trump did.
You just stop them right there.
It's not about Trump.
It's about policy and principles right now.
Can we judge this on its own merit?
The dishonest ones will end the conversation there.
And they'll want to just go back into the outrage machine.
But you stay in reality.
Because we can't see our neighbors as enemies just because they see the world differently. But the first step to helping each other is ask honest questions.
Have the courage to listen to their answer, not be thinking, oh, good, they said that, so I can say. Just listen, even when it makes you really uncomfortable, because we have to find our way back to truth.
We have to find our way back to the actual law. We have to find our way back to logic because it's not political.
It's just about right and wrong.
And if we can't do this, then the fight isn't about left versus right anymore.
It honestly isn't even about good and evil.
It's about sane versus right anymore. It honestly isn't even about good and evil.
It's about sane versus the insane. This is Glenn Beck.

No, wait, no, they don't. They don't.
They're never with you on those nights when you just can't sleep. They're not like, you know, I'm your bank and let's work this out.

We'll talk to Senator Ron Johnson about it next. welcome to the glenn beck program thank you so much for listening today we got a great show for you uh not today of course but maybe but maybe sometime later this week.
We have Senator Ron Johnson on with us. He's going to be joining us in just a few minutes.
He is obviously a Republican from Wisconsin, the big vote. And what the Supreme Court would mean for the rest of the country, a liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court, what would it mean for the rest of the country? Donald Trump is very, very clear on all of this.
There's a very important election for state Supreme Court on April 1st. That's today.
Brad Schimmel is running against radical left liberal Susan Crawford, who has repeatedly given child molesters, rapists, women beaters, and domestic abusers light sentences. She is the handpicked voice of the leftists who are out to destroy your state and our country, and if she wins, the movement will restore our nation.
It will bypass Wisconsin. All voters who believe in common sense should get out to vote early for Brad Schimmel.
By turning out to vote, you'll be helping to uphold the rule of law, protect our incredible police, secure our beloved Constitution, safeguard our inalienable rights and preserve liberty and justice for all. So important.
Please, Wisconsin, get out and vote today for Brad Schimmel. That's from the president.
OK, did you see that Elon Musk was out doing this as well? I mean, he's he's passionate about it as well. Yeah, really passionate about it.
Really fired up, and they've spent a lot of money. They're really focused on it.
It's an important election. Senator Ron Johnson is with us now to tell us why this is so important in Wisconsin.
What does it mean to the rest of us? Senator, how are you? Well, if Susan Crawford wins, we'll retain the radical left majority on the court that was established in 2023 when George Soros and crew came in and pretty well bought that Supreme Court race spending tens of millions of dollars. They over the last few years, they redistricted our state assembly and state Senate.
So our majorities in those chambers have shrunken. And if they retain that radical left majority on the court, they will redistrict Derek Van Orden and Brian Stiles' congressional seats, really put those things in jeopardy.
If they put those in jeopardy with such a slim majority, we could lose the majority in the second half of Trump's term. And I just think I would then be sitting for a third impeachment trial for Donald Trump.
And he'll basically have two years where he can be effective. And then the second two years is just going to be a you know what ride for the president.
So this is crucial. In addition to that, they'll overturn voter ID law.
They'll probably overturn any election integrity measure because Democrats want to cheat in elections. And we just may take Wisconsin off the map in terms of battleground state for the 10 electoral votes for Republican president.
I mean, that's that's how serious this is, not to mention the fact that overturn Act 10, Act 10, which is Governor Walker's signature achievement, save Wisconsinites hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars in tax payments, that type of thing. So it's just a crucial election.
And the good news, Glenn, is that this shouldn't be that hard. You were one of the 1.7 million Wisconsinites that voted for President Trump.
1.7. He's a record vote getter in Wisconsin.
Our last Supreme Court judge in 2023 got 800,000 votes. That's a 900,000 vote difference.
So if you want to see President Trump effective and you voted for him, get out and vote. I mean, we should be logging 1.5, 1.6 million votes.
So if you voted for him, use your text change, use your email change, talk to everybody you know that also voted for Donald Trump and get out and vote now. We have to win this election.
I don't think I've ever heard, Stu, have you ever heard a state Supreme Court election be this trumpeted like this? It's so important to the nation. And that's why it's the most expensive ever, right? More money being spent on this because so many people are focused on it i think maybe that's because george soros is on one side and elon musk is on the other side okay okay yeah that's fair you know they're not exactly they don't exactly have to pinch pennies you know what i mean uh how guys this started this started with eric holder who started taking over all these district attorneys, you know, George Soros funding these district attorneys that wouldn't prosecute crime.
And this is the left is very smart. They're relentless.
So through stealth, they've taken over school boards. Again, they've gotten their radical left ideology infiltrated into every institution of this country, particularly our legal system.
these radical left judges i mean those are the ones that are issuing nationwide injunctions
against the actions that a duly elected president was elected to enact, right? I mean, they're frustrating those attempts. Same thing's happening in the Wisconsin court.
So they're the ones that, again, turned the 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court race into the most expensive race in history, over $50 million. They're going to double that now.
So all Elon Musk is doing is trying to level the playing field. He's doing it brilliantly, by the way.
I mean, it's brilliant what he's doing. I just hope and pray that he's successful.
What is he doing? Explain what you mean by that. So he offered to pay people to sign a petition against activist judges.
People who signed up for that petition were then eligible for a drawing to win a million dollars. I was at his town hall event where he gave up two million dollar checks.
And of course, our attorney general challenged that. But even the radical left Supreme Court turned back that challenge.
So Elon Musk, the publicity he's getting for the million-dollar checks dwarfs the cost of the million-dollar checks, and he's getting millions of dollars of publicity. And so hopefully enough Trump voters are paying attention and will get off the couch, get out and vote, and secure this the Supreme Court seat.
How are the numbers on early voting? Do you know? Well, not good, quite honestly. I mean, Elon said at the event on Sunday night that the 85% betting chance that Brad Schumel is going to lose.
That's why this is a real rallying crime. There's no reason we shouldn't win this thing just running away.
if those 1.7 million Trump voters are serious about letting Trump be Trump and honoring his promises. It is amazing to me what the left is doing through the court system.
And I mean, we've seen George Soros coming for a long time, and now he just, it's almost like he, it's almost like nobody pays even attention to him. What he has done to our country, how he has destroyed our states and many of our cities.
I mean, look at what happened in New York. Look at what happened in Los Angeles.
Look at what happened in Minneapolis. Look at what happens wherever his fingers are the destruction that comes with it and nobody
says anything about george soros and yet elon musk is this uh this boogeyman uh and it that's
that's because the corporate legacy media there are a bunch of leftists themselves but it's also
because as conservatives we really don't want to have to deal with government we just want government
off our back for liberals getting into government getting control of our lives, that's their lifelong ambition. So it's not a level playing field.
It's not a fair fight. And so what happens, we saw this under Reagan.
You reelect Ronald Reagan. He drops tax rates down at 28%.
We kind of clap our hands together and say, okay, we solved this problem. They're defeated.
No, the left is relentless. And again, they do it through stealth.
So they infiltrate every institution. And we just, we don't even see it coming.
We didn't see the Supreme Court race in 2023 coming. We haven't seen in even conservative school districts, the radical leftists take over school boards and city councils and county boards.
So, again, government is everything to leftists, to conservatives. We just want it off our back, so we just don't pay the attention to it as the left does.
And that's what's happening in Wisconsin right now. The 1.7 million voters for Trump, they just haven't paid enough attention to it right now, but now is the time to wake up, pay attention to it, and secure this Supreme Court seat.
Yeah, I think this is your last chance to wake up in Wisconsin. I mean, you know, it's over today, so get out and vote.
Senator, thank you. Thank you for everything you've done in the Senate and protecting our nation and your state.
We appreciate it. God bless you.
Thanks for having me on. You bet.
Ron Johnson, the senator from Wisconsin. Boy, I tell you, that is, it's amazing how this just never, ever ends.
It just doesn't ever end. And I think that's the problem with most people.
It's like, you know what I did? I fought really hard. I've lost friends.
I've lost.
But, you know, can I just have my life back? I'm sorry. The answer is no, not really.
This is your life. I mean, this is your life.
This is your responsibility. If you lose your country, you lose your ability to worship God.
You lose your family. Because if you lose your right to worship God, what happens to your family? We've seen what the godlessness of this society so far has done to our children.
So, I mean, I've always said God, family, country. It's actually, I think, country, God, family.
It might be country, family, God. I don't know.
God's in last place now? Gosh. Well, if you don't have country, you won't have God.
Yeah. So maybe it's country, God, family.
And also, that's not true. I mean, how many Afghanis have we talked to over the years that are worshipping their God and risking their lives? You won't have a godly country.
If you're not participating, if the godly people don't come out and participate, your country is going to go to hell. You can be godly in a place where a government tells you you can't.
Really? Is this what we're doing? Yeah, I know what you— Oh, I just want to have some critical questions, Glenn. I thought that's what the show was all about.
You said critical thinking. I'm being critical of you.
That's what you wanted, right? No, that's not what I wanted. You wanted criticism of you.
That's how I took critical thinking. I've got a critical question for some critical thinking.
Why the hell are you still here? Why are you still talking? That's a fair point. It is, right? It's actually what I'm asking myself, too.
I think I win that one. Stand by more in a minute.

More Glenn Beck, coming up next. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
I want to play a couple of things. First all i want to stew if you will we're going to describe this video here okay this is a uh a vandal uh working uh some artwork on a tesla go ahead play this there he's describe he's getting out of the car he's hiding which is He's hiding now.
Again, these people don't realize that Teslas have cameras all over them. Every angle.
Just so stupid. Okay, so he's hiding.
Now, he was caught on camera, and so the person who had the Tesla, whose car was keyed, he confronted in the parking lot this is satisfying listen to this free service free service how about you pay for the repairs write a check you just bought a test i can wipe it off no no it's not no it is a hate crime sir it is a hate crime that sued did you write a swastika on it i'm sorry you're upset did you write a swastika it didn't even work it doesn't work did you write a swastika on there? I'm sorry you're upset. Did you write a swastika? It didn't even work.
It doesn't work. Did you write a swastika on the...
It's a key, sir. We see it on the video.
It's not a key. Is it a swastika? I was probably putting my keys in my pocket.
Is it a swastika? Have you looked at your car? Is there a key mark? Is it a swastika? It's not impossible. It's at the police right now.
It's being fingerprinted. What do you mean it's being fingerprinted because they they were trying to track you down thankfully facebook tracked you down so your business your freaking livelihood everything now because you chose to write a uh so to tell facebook that you're sorry for writing a swastika on a tesla listen i said i'm sorry for what and i apologize i have nothing against, and I have nothing against you.
So why would you write a swastika on a Tesla? Obviously, I have something against Elon Musk, but that's not the way to show my... So Elon Musk owns that car? No, he owns the company.
Because it was bought and paid for a long time ago. That's why it's misguided, and obviously, I did not intend to do that.
This is the do you mean it's at the police why do the police have their fingerprinting it i boy was that wow i feel completely different yeah i mean like his explanation at the end there is a good one for like a mean tweet right like it like ah you know you're right i shouldn't i got it carried away and it's not i'm upset I shouldn't have done that. When you're keying a car.
Yeah. I mean, he says he wasn't keying it.
I don't know what the truth is on that. A lot of people have crayons in their pockets as adults.
Yeah, right. Come out of the car with the crayon.
Holding it like a key. One other thing.
This is from Wisconsin. This is the founder and CEO of equity firm Valor Integrity Equity Partners with Elon Musk on stage.
Listen to this about Social Security. When we saw these numbers, we're like, what is this? In 21, you see 270,000 people goes all the way to 2.1 million in 24.
These are non-citizens that are getting Social Security numbers. Yeah, this is a mindblowing charge.
Yeah, just this this literally blew us away when you come in the country if you're illegal There's a couple ways to come in you come in through a port of entry and you can tell them you're afraid You'll get it. They'll give you an asylum asylum case.
You'll get an interview then you get in That's one way to do it. Another way to do it is to just go to the border.
Literally this happened. I talked to border patrol myself.
Elon was there too. I went to Laredo and I went to Bronzeville.
Elon went to Eagle Pass. You walk up to a border patrol officer and you tell them you want to come in.
They have a couple of choices. They could charge you with a misdemeanor or a felony under 1325 or they can make an administrative offense like a parking ticket basically.
They were told to do that, make an administrative offense under the last administration. And then you go walk across the border, they do what's called a release of your own recognizance, and they give you an NTA, a notice to appear, which is to appear at a judge.
The wait times on judges are like average six years. Look at Grok, you'll see it on immigration judges.
There's only of them this is 5.5 million people okay so what happens then once you're in the country and you've got asylum do one of these pathways we map the whole thing out you can apply for a work document you file a 765 it's the work form you get this form called the 766. That's the authorization.
And then Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your Social Security number.
No interview.
No ID.
There are millions of people getting Social Security through that process that just came across our border illegally.
This is Glenn Beck. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,.
You know, we are now living in a world where it is totally acceptable, even celebrated, to key somebody's car, you know, to torch a Tesla, to beat a woman in a parking lot. All because she drives something made by the wrong billionaire, I guess.
That's not a protest. That's not justice.
That's just flat out violence. It's hate wrapped in the language of virtue.
And we're going to talk about that. Stu's going to tell us how much virtue you have when you burn a Tesla.
I mean, environmental virtue. Because I love these.
Environmentalists are the ones who are like, we've got to burn these Teslas down to the ground. Really, how much damage are you doing to the planet? I just want you to know it's kind of like a nutrition box on the side of what you're about to eat.
Let me just be that little box for you. Show you how many calories you're going to put up into the atmosphere.
You burn that Tesla. We'll do that here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. It'd be great to do business with a company that represented your best interest.
I mean, wouldn't it? Well, hopefully you feel that way if you're a member of the Blaze TV. We try to do the right thing and try to represent your interests um it's a curious thing though in a day and age where we have so many choices that we still do companies or business with companies that don't represent our values at all as well as represent our interest interest not even best interests take your mobile phone company for instance if you're going through the big boys chances are pretty good you're supporting some of the things with your money that you do not want to support.
If you're with Verizon, congratulations, some of your money is going to Planned Parenthood. With Patriot Mobile, on the other hand, you're actually supporting things you believe in because it's a Christian-owned company with awesome cell phone coverage, great U.S.-based customer service, and they take a portion of the money that they make out of their profit and use it to support amazing causes uh and they're all up front about it on the front page of the website you don't have to do they're not hiding it at all they're proud of it you can have the same great cell service talk to an american every time you need customer service and save money plus you know where the money's going to it's going to a good place.
The choice is obvious. PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.

972-PATRIOT. So, you know, you don't have to like Elon Musk.
You don't have to drive a Tesla. But when you start cheering for people to be attacked for what they drive, what they say or who they voted for, you might have lost the plot.
But I'm not sure the left gets that now. They're just going more and more insane.
I mean, the minute you are on the wrong side of Martin Luther King, I mean, it's a pretty good. What did Martin Luther King said? What did he say? Oh opposite no i'm pretty sure i'm on the right side then i mean who thinks that who thinks that martin luther king didn't say you just gotta hurt them and beat them in the streets until they agree with you can you imagine martin luther king yeah you know what i gotta tell you we're gonna beat the snot out of those people every day till we get our way now in fact he said the opposite hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that so when did the left flip the script when did rage become righteousness then righteousness now when did we start thinking that violence was a valid argument i mean this is this is incredible We just played this video of this guy who sneaks out of his car, doesn't know that Teslas have cameras all over them, sneaks out of his car, and he's keying the side of a Tesla.
They catch him, and he's like, what? What? No, what are you talking about? Come on, man. And he's an adult.
He's an actual adult. This isn't this isn't a 20 something this guy how old do you think he is sarah 35 40 i was even going higher maybe 50 yeah i mean this is an adult you know this is much bigger than tesla's this is about the idea that violence is okay if your cause is just enough.
You know, if you're allowed to destroy somebody else's property or their body, you can do it as long as you feel like you're the victim. And I get it.
Some people are angry, I guess. I'd hate to live my life.
Wouldn't you hate to live your life that way all the time, being so angry all the time? the second you use force to silence or punish some somebody for thinking differently than you
you're no longer the good guy. I don't know if you catch that yet.
You're a bully with a slogan. That's all you are.
So today I've been trying to concentrate on how to talk to your friends. How do you, you know, how do you talk to people who defend this kind of behavior? How do you talk to your family? Because I know I have members of my family that, you know, they don't listen to me, you know, cause I'm Glenn.
You know what I mean? Nobody in my family is impressed by me. Nobody.
And you know, it's good cause it keeps you humble but uh you know they don't
listen to me i don't have my no nobody in my family is like we'll ask glenn because i bet he
was there and saw that no no we saw it on cnn that's enough for us okay all right well okay
we have to start asking people
first of all we have to decide if we're going to be friends with our family or not
Thank you. we have to start asking people first of all we have to decide if we're going to be friends with our family or not because i think anybody it's a cult that tells you not to be friends with your family that's what a cult does a cult says divorce yourself from your family don't talk to your family if they disagree with you if they don't believe in what we believe get away from them and never talk to them again.
That's a cult. That's a warning sign.
Okay? So let's be the opposite. Let's make sure everybody knows we love our family.
We want to be with you, but we don't want to disagree with you, but we're also not going to avoid the truth.
But I really want to understand if you're for all this Tesla stuff and you'll say, well, I'm not for all of it.
Well, I mean, you kind of, you know, you kind of have to take all of it here because this is all one in the same now.
It's the same package.
Ask them, would you feel good about this if this was done to your car?
Now, who could say yes to that?
Would you feel good if that was happening to your sister?
Would you feel good if that 61-year-old woman in Phoenix, if that was your sister or your mom, would you feel good about that?
Nobody would.
Nobody would.
So how is it you're standing by and saying it's okay?
Let me ask you, is violence the answer when you don't get your way?
Because this is what I always heard from the left.
You know, war is just violence and you don't get anywhere with violence.
Well, okay.
Do you guys remember saying that?
Because it turns out I think you're right, kind of.
You know?
War is different, but we've made a lot of mistakes in war.
So why did you leave that?
Why did you abandon that place?
What happens when the other side starts doing the same thing back to you? Are you going to be okay with that? Or are you only okay with it on your side? Because if your ideology only works when it's enforced by fist or fire, then your philosophy doesn't work, okay? You don't win the hearts and minds of people with hatred. You don't fix injustice by committing your own injustice.
Now, I know that's not what we're being taught in schools now. The only way to be an anti-racist is, the only way to not be racist is to be an anti-racist, right? Or pro-racist, what do they call it? Yeah, I think you're right.
The only way to not be a racist is to be an anti-racist.
Not being racist isn't enough. It is enough.
It is not enough.
Okay.
You don't build a better world
by burning something down
in somebody else's driveway.
You don't.
And we have to stop pretending
that this is okay.
And you just have to start asking
because it's not okay.
It's never okay. It's not from anyone.
It wasn't on January 6th. Why are you okay with people doing things that are violent now? You weren't for January 6th.
I'm here to tell you I proudly was against January 6th on January 6th and the 7th and the 8th. And I still am today for anybody who is there actually committing violence.
Where are you? Because I'm against this violence and I was against that violence. And if we can't say that out loud anymore, then we're not a movement.
You're not a movement anymore. You on the left, you're no longer a movement.
You're a mob. That's all you are.
And you're really half a step away from not being a mob, but terrorists. That's scary.
Come back to common sense. Come back to reality.
You know that's wrong. You know it's wrong.
Do unto others. Do unto others.
Is that would you be happy if my side were doing it to you? No, you wouldn't. So why tolerate it? Stand up.
It's okay. It's okay to stand up and say, I mean, I did this yesterday.
I mean, Stu and I, it's going to become very unpopular. I don't think it is now, but it's going to become very unpopular to say these things.
But the third term, you know, Donald Trump talking about, you know, possibility of third term.
The New York Times is saying today he's just doing that so he won't be a lame duck in the last two years.
Maybe, maybe.
But I think there are some people around him that are absolutely serious.
I think Steve Bannon is one of them.
He's dead serious about, you know, there are ways. No, no, there are not ways.
There are not ways. You know, Roger Ailes said to me at one point, he said, Glenn, we all love the Constitution, but there are things that we have to do from time to time.
And I'm like, no, there's not. There's not things we have to do.
We always have to abide by the Constitution. That's the answer there.
and this and this is going to get hard for a lot of people because I really truly believe Donald Trump is the only one with the backbone, the spine, the vision to stand up and to withstand all of the punches that he has received. Can you name one other person that could go through everything that he's gone through and actually turn out to be nicer? Because I don't know a soul.
I believe I can't tell you that the election was stolen in 2020, but I can't tell you it wasn't. I just think it was unfair.
I don't I think something was hinky about that.
It's actually turned out to be a blessing that he had those four years away so he could, you know, get his sea legs.
But and I also believe that by 20 by 2028, that's not enough time to fix the country.
And it's not enough time to finish the job.
It's going to take eight to 12 years.
And I also believe extraordinary times call for extraordinary men. So I believe all those things about Donald Trump.
Now, a separate question. You can believe all those things and not be against Donald Trump or anything else, not be un-American and say, no, you know, we don't bend or break the Constitution to keep my preferred leader in power.
Because if you break the Constitution to do that, then you've already lost the country you're trying to save. Now, if you want to change the Constitution, that's legal.
That's what you have to do. But if you want to find a little trick to make it happen, then I can't go with you there because you're not saving the country.
You're destroying the Constitution. As I look at this, there are that we have to reroute ourselves back into principles.
So let me give you some principles on this one. Principle number one, do the ends ever justify the means when it comes to power? Do the ends ever justify the means? No.
So letting your guy break the rules today sets a precedent for the other side to do the same tomorrow, only worse, with no resistance. Power grabs are never one-time exceptions.
They become habits, and they always come around and bite you in the butt. Take Venezuela.
You remember Hugo Chavez? He rewrote the constitution to stay in power for the people. And every but one of his supporters cheered when he did it.
By the time his successor, Nicolas Maduro, took over, the economy had collapsed, elections became a sham, and millions were forced to flee. And the same crowd that was cheering for Chavez for the third term for Chavez, guess what? They were imprisoned, silenced, or exiled under the very rules they helped rewrite.
It doesn't work out well. Principle two, if you love the Constitution, you don't make exceptions for your guy.
If you love the rule of law, my guy broke the law. He's got to go to jail.
Constitution is not a menu. It's not like I'll have a little of that and a little of that.
No, this is one of those restaurants you walk into. They're like, there are no substitutions.
You don't get to pick the parts you follow based on your convenience or your loyalty. Your loyalty is to the law, is to the Constitution.
And if you start saying, well, just this once, if you make exceptions like that, what you're doing is you're loosening all the bolts on the wings of an airplane. Well, just this one bolt.
No, no, no, let's not take that one bolt because somebody else will say, yeah, let's just loosen this bolt. Just this one time, eventually you fall out of the sky.
The nation's not held
together by personalities. It's held together by principles.
And that's why we're in the trouble we're in because not enough people understand no man is above the law. They certainly didn't understand that under Biden.
No man is above the law, period. Principle number three, you got to ask yourself this question.
Would I like this if it were somebody I despised? Would I like it if Joe Biden or Barack Obama was trying to change the rule so he could find a way to run a third term? No, I wouldn't. So, no.
If I don't like it, if the other guy does it,
that I can't like it, it's not right for me.
And it might work out for a while.
You could get your policies and your judges.
You might get your revenge.
Maybe even get healing out of it.
The whole world is great.
But what happens when that guy is gone?
There are no term limits anymore. Who says that there they're term limits you can't ignore these things somebody newsom aoc or worse comes along seizes the president declares they're not leaving either this is what the democrats do you know if they would have changed the number of the supreme court how do you think they'd be working out for them right now? I don't think it'd be working out well.
They would have handed us the key, but there is no key to this engine. The country's engine only works with principles.
It decays, it enslaves, it destroys without those principles. We're either guardians of that document or we're not.
And if the Constitution cannot restrain your favorite leader, it can't restrain the worst one. You got to ask yourself, would I be happy with anyone else doing what I'm asking him to do? Would I be happy with that? Would I be happy with my side keying the cars, the sides of cars? No.
Would I be fine with their side keying cars? No. You might win today, but you don't want to give your enemies weapons that will destroy you tomorrow.
You know, if your house is infested with rats and you love your house, do you burn down your house to kill the rats?
No.
Wanting a third term to fix the system is like setting your own house on fire because you saw rats in the walls. A fire is going to kill a rat, sure, but it also destroys your home.
The foundation leaves you nothing, no roof to protect you. The Constitution is your house.
You don't burn it down to save it. And the last principle is, the easiest one to remember, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
If the answer is no, I wouldn't want them to do that to me, then it's not right. That's it.

10 seconds. Station ID.
Not a minute. How much time do we have here, Sarah? I want to get into your calorie counting.
Yes. Of Tesla's burning.
Yeah, when you go to the side of whatever you're eating, they have that nice little breakdown of all the nutritional facts. That's kind of what I decided to go for.
And when it comes down to when you burn a Tesla, what does that mean for your beloved environment? Now, I'm guessing, by the way you say it, that it's not good for the environment no i really i would tend to agree with
that analysis um one kind of kind of this is a part of this particular analysis but just to add on give you a taste uh each tesla fire that breaks out can use as much as 36 000 gallons of water to put away.
There was one in, I think it was Alabama
back in 2023.
It was a fire. These are specialized batteries.
There's a lot going on in a Tesla. You don't want them to catch fire if you can help it.
And it took 36,000 gallons just to put out the fire. You know, I have a ranch and it's all solar.
And we were talking about some about some experts came out so you need lithium batteries you got to put lithium batteries here and i said i live in the middle of a forest one of these things go off i burn the entire forest down there's not enough water to put them out and they said no you you just you just build a giant concrete crypt oh and you put them in there and i'm like oh it's just just that easy. Just like Chernobyl.
It was just that easy. Just like Chernobyl.
That should tell you something about them. Yes.
You just put them in a crypt. Oh.
Oh. Okay.
No, I don't think so. Again, if you don't set them on fire, Tesla seemed to do pretty well.
There was an issue back in the day, we used to talk about it, where they would have some issues with
spontaneously combusting, but that seems to
have gone away. That's gone away.
That's good.
It's a positive development. It is a positive.
So try not to do it
on your own, I would say. Stay away
from letting them on fire. Alright, so we're going to go through that
calorie count here in just a second. See how
healthy it is to protest
and burn cars down.
Because it's good for the environment. At least that's what I heard Stu say.
It's good for the environment. More in just a second.

Glenn and save 40 bucks. There is something very, very important going on.
We want to make sure we address it properly. Cory Booker is on the floor of the Senate, and he's filibustering.
Well, he's not actually filibustering because he's not stopping a bill or anything.
He's just talking, and he's been talking since last night.
At length.
Yeah.
It's like, you know, Mr. Smith goes to Washington?
Yeah.
It's like Mr. Smith goes nowhere.
But so can we just, because it's important that we hear.
Yeah, just give me just a little bit.
Oh.
Oh, really?
Oh, shit. But, so can we just, because it's important that we hear.
Yeah, just give me just a little bit.
Oh.
Oh, really?
Oh, that's too bad.
We don't have it.
Oh, gosh, that's a real disappointment.
I thought it was right there on the back screen there.
I see it, sir.
I mean, he looks like he's, there it is.
Just give me a little bit of it.
You have it?
No, apparently not.
We do not have it. I will say it doesn't look a lot like Cory Booker.
He's lightened his tone a bit.
Yeah, he looks more like Senator Chris Van Hollen.
He does look almost exactly like Senator Chris Van Hollen from Maryland.
I don't know.
Maybe Mr. Smith had to go to potty.
I don't know.
Maybe he had to go.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Mr. Smith had potty breaks.
He did.
He did.
Well, no.
No, he didn't.
No, he didn't.
No, he didn't.
That's what a filibuster was really, a filibuster.
Yeah.
Yeah, you have to keep talking.
Yeah, keep talking.
Yeah, keep talking.
And they do important work at wow that's great okay i think we got it that was more than i needed yeah it was important to check in we got it okay so uh i'm i'm waiting for the nutritional value of burning teslas ah for those who believe that you know global warming is an existential threat, the greatest existential threat, we only have five years to stop producing pretty much all of our carbon emissions. Yes.
But it's just like all of it. Okay.
We're at a tipping point almost here. Well, we're at a tipping point.
We can't go back. And the last thing you want to do, when you're at a tipping point, you just don't even want to breathe.
You know? Right. You don't want a breath to come in just because you can fall right over the tipping point.
You don't want that. You don't want that.
Now, speaking of that, what kind of positive things does burning Teslas do? Well, let's think about the options here. What do do you have to do you could drive a gas vehicle like we have forever yes we know that's that would be bad that would be bad now you may let me go through the numbers on a driving a gas powered vehicle manufacturing nine metric tons of co2 equivalent wow okay wow that's bad uh the operation i don't buy that's why i don't have it well i i still have a gas guzzling car, but I have a bigger one.
Yeah, you increase it.
Your numbers would be higher, I will say.
Knowing Glenn and his car collection would definitely be a tad higher. I was looking at Jay Leno and I were talking about one of his cars just the other day.
It gets two miles a gallon.
Two.
And I'm like, wow, I'd like to achieve that someday.
Two full miles.
Two full miles.
Downhill.
Downhill. Yeah, yeah.
of course yeah it's not on yeah okay so uh manufacturing nine metric tons of co2 equivalent operation of that vehicle about 31 tons and then the end of life as they you know you put it in the junkyard and all those other things you got two more metric tons total of Total of 42 tons of CO2 equivalent. 42 tons.
Now that is, as we know, the thing that's going to kill all of us. Yeah, that's Bigfoot.
It's the Bigfoot that's coming in with a Bigfoot carbon foot and just stuffing it down your throat. We're all going to die.
We're all going to die. That's how bad that is.
That's why we have electric cars. That's why we have electric cars.
Now, let me take the alternate scenario. Okay, now hang on just a second.
Give me the number again so I just have it written down because I just want to show you. I want to do the math here.
Sure. 42.08 metric tons.
42.08 metric tons. Okay, got it.
Okay, that is for operating a gas-powered vehicle. I hate those things.
Then you have, let's say, you're like, I want to be environmentally safe. I want to buy a cool Tesla.
You buy a Tesla Cybertruck, right? Those are the ones they've been mainly lighting on fire. There's been various attacks on all sorts of cars, of course.
But the Cybertruck, I think, has been the biggest target. So you buy a Cybertruck.
Then someone comes and lights it on fire and destroys it. Then you, what do you have to do? You've got to still get around, right? So you replace it with another Cybertruck.
Okay. How does that look for the environment? Yeah.
So you're manufacturing a Cybertruck, 22.5 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. 22.
22. Then the fire impact, just setting it on fire by itself, that day just that day another five metric tons five metric tons yes now i again almost a quarter of making it almost a quarter making it and half more than half of making a gas-powered vehicle ha okay more than half okay okay all right not five metric tons uh for the fire itself all the things that go into the- Now, did you figure out how much the big, huge fire truck that's just burning diesel fuel like crazy?
I think that's, I mean, I guess technically that's, I don't know if that's included or not in this analysis.
Maybe not in Alaska and Hawaii.
Not in Alaska and Hawaii.
Next, you got to replace it with another Cybertruck.
So that's got to be manufactured, another 22.5 metric tons of CO2.
Then you're going to operate that Cybertruck for the life of the vehicle while you have it. 12.17 metric tons of CO2.
And then the end-of-life replacement, as it kind of degrades, you have another two metric tons. Total emissions, 64.17 metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
Now, it seems... It seems.
It seems. I'm not a mathematician.
No. Okay? But I am a thinker.
You are. And it seems like 64.17 is a bigger number than 42.08.
Glenn, very, very good. I didn't go to school for it, but, you know, hey, I know smart people.
You might recognize it as about a 50% increase in emissions. So that's kind of, you'd think, a really bad thing.
Bad thing to do. Really bad thing.
Especially if we're on the edge. However, we have another scenario here, which I feel like is maybe a little bit more likely.
Okay. All right.
Because the person, let's say you start off, you buy a Cybertruck. Someone comes, lights it on fire as your family looks in horror.
Hopefully not on the inside of it while it's lit on fire. Yeah.
Well, serve them right. They voted differently.
Right. Yeah.
You may be like, you know what I want to do with my next vehicle? Not get another Cybertruck. I might want to instead just get a gas-powered vehicle next time.
Right. If you do that, you've got the Cybertruck originally manufactured for 22.5 tons, the fire impact five more tons, the replacement gas vehicle manufacturing of nine metric tons, the replacement gas vehicle operation of 31 tons, the replacement gas vehicle end of life at two metric tons, a total of 69.58 metric tons.
Is that still bigger than 46 42.0 it is zero it is seven that's weird it is a lot higher so i mean and if you kind of look at another kind of interesting way to look at this is you've got about 40 it's about 40 let's see cyber truck and a gas powered. I mean, it's actually the Cybertruck.
If you drive it for a lot longer, you can get to the positive side on the Cybertruck. But generally speaking, for the first at least seven years of its life, which is when the average person owns their car for, it's going to be worse for the environment, even without setting it on fire.
And then you set it on fire, it gets a lot worse. How's it going to be worse? It's got that free electricity.
Yeah, well, first of all, no, it doesn't. But secondly, it also takes a lot more to manufacture.
I don't know if you caught that number. Manufacture, more than double as far as CO2 equivalent.
I saw that, but it doesn't count. Oh.
See, you got me on that point. Again, critical thinking.
Thank you. I was just blurting out these numbers, and you critically thought of my numbers, and then just asked a question.
And what are the batteries made? Are the batteries made here, or are the batteries made in China? I don't know. That's a good question.
I would say probably, well, knowing the tariff situation, I think the tariffs would hit batteries, wouldn't they? Yeah, I think so. I know Tesla actually did write a letter kind of saying, hey, can we not have tariffs on our cars, maybe? They did attempt that.
I don't know if theirs is built in China, though. I know they have a huge manufacturing here in Texas.
Yeah, right. And in other parts in the country.
But everybody else's battery is made in China, so that's good. Because, I mean, they're so good for the environment over there.
They are. I trust them you know batteries and rivers i bet china does well and viruses and virus i'm big on the wuhan institute of virology right so i was uh i was looking because they they did put mrs biden by the way put 100 tariffs on chinese manufactured electric vehicles.
Because, again, a totally defensible thing for Donald Trump to do, right? He has a real issue with China and believes that they're a major foe. He has been pro-tariffs his entire adult life in the public.
Everyone knows he's been for tariffs since the 80s. His first word was tariff.
Yes no mommy mommy he that's so we know that from him right is it a defensible thing from joe biden to do because you're telling me the greatest existential threat is not china but it is global warming and then china is is producing a couple of actually really nice electric vehicles, but many that are terrible and low price, but would be great for the quote unquote environment.
How do you know?
Why would you not?
How do you know what electric vehicles China is?
Well, there's one that's pretty cool.
What is it?
It's a Lotus.
That's English.
It is English. Manufactured in China.
this one particular. Oh, those rat bastards.
Right. They got China.
They got England too. Wow.
I mean, let me, Glenn, do we have sad puppy dog music? Yeah. Do we have some sad music? Is this going to be, are people going to cry because maybe.
Yes, I will tell. The Lotus.
There people that don't have a lotus there are lotus there are lotus owners or people who want to buy
lotuses or lotus eye lot eyes which they want to get the brand new lotus elettra wow which is
available in theory right now but can't be imported in the united states because these 100 percent
tariffs yeah and we're talking about a car that should be like 120 000 but instead is
Thank you. in theory right now, but can't be imported to the United States because of these 100% tariffs.
And we're talking about a car that should be like $120,000, but instead is looking at $229,000. Sounds specific.
Sounds a little like he's been looking into this. I mean, you know, I'm just saying it's a pretty cool looking car.
I was at a friend's place on Saturday, and I was just stopping stopping by and see he has a he has an exotic car you know place and i just love going to look at his cars and i went in and there was a lotus and i knew stew was looking at a lotus and i didn't i mean i just think they're cool yeah i just never seen one and uh and i just i saw one and i'm like oh he's looking for it but it was the little small sports car which you're not looking because i thought to myself this is not going to go over well with lisa right she's not going to say yes to this but you were looking at an suv yeah they just they released like that suv type of thing called the eletro talk to the guys about it they were like it is fantastic they're making one it looks incredible they're making one special edition just for america yes the carbon is the carbon it is Again, I don't know much about this. Yeah, but they said they were making one just for America.
And I told him and I said, I know what he makes. He's not going to be able to buy one of those.
Thank you. I mean, you could do something about that.
No, I couldn't. I couldn't.
I'd like to. But then you'd be in bed giving money to China.
You know, what would I be thinking? No, no, do it he said you're just not gonna get one that's what they say i mean there's a few of them here but you can't they won't even sell them to you because of the crazy tariff situation um right now again i actually like the tariffs on china there's a much yeah i think there's a much clearer argument for it right i mean like you know when you're talking again, a tax is an inefficiency in the market, right? That's what a tariff is a tax and a tax is an inefficiency in the market. So you're creating an inefficiency in the market.
You have to have a justification for that. What is it? Well, it might be to return manufacturing to the United States, right? Or it could be we have a foe in China.
We do not want to help them in any way. And I think that's incredibly defensible.
So what happens tomorrow at four o'clock? Because four o'clock tomorrow is when he's saying tariffs are coming. And they're saying he didn't do it today because of April Fool's Day.
Okay. Hang on.
That's actually smart. The guy, he thinks of everything.
All right. Hang on.
We'll come right back and we'll talk about what happens tomorrow at four o'clock. Simply safe.
I want to read what a police officer recently wrote into simply safe. He said, I have worked everything from burglars, home evasion, smash and grabs, assaults to horrific murder cases.
No one should be without an alarm system and simply safe fits the bill perfectly. I can't tell you how much peace of mind I have when I leave my home with my wife there.
Traditional security systems usually take action after somebody has broken into the home. That's probably a little too late.
But SimpliSafe, state-of-the-art equipment and monitoring plans, they guard live. They guard and protect with their fast protect monitoring.
Before the burglaries, even in your home, it could be out on the front lawn and it will talk to a live person will say hey dude what are you doing well you get away from the window get away from the window police are already been called i've got your picture simply safe doesn't do long-term contracts so you don't have to worry about that it's unbelievably easy to set it up yourself but they'd be happy to do it if you want that as well and there's's a 60-day satisfaction guarantee.

There is no safe like simply safe. You know, the left's got a roadmap straight off a cliff.
Let's take the right trail.
Glenn Beck returns shortly. tomorrow Donald Trump is calling this liberation day uh it's going to be a hard one to sell if if all these things come through and you don't have other countries starting to back up, it could be a very scary few weeks.
Maybe. I don't know.
Because I don't see him backing off. Tomorrow, 4 p.m.
Eastern, he is going to lay out the tariffs. The specifics on the tariffs are uncertain still.
He may adopt tomorrow an even more aggressive approach than previously anticipated. Initial discussions suggested tariffs were on 10 to 15 countries, but statements from the White House indicate the measures are going to apply globally, affecting every U.S.
trading partner we have. he is expected to implement a 25% tariff on all imported automobiles, trying to get people to move their manufacturing back here.
And if that is your goal, that is an effective way. But there's going to be a lot of pain in that goal.
I mean, have you even thought of parts? I mean, you have a Honda. Where where's that part is that part from overseas or is that part made here or chevy yeah chevy same thing you want to have even if you have an american car lots of these parts are made in other countries and this is just going to get harder and harder i mean if if there's a tariff on any of these cars that you might have parts parts are going to get very expensive.
A couple of interesting things about the timing of this. One is Donald Trump initially wanted to do it on April 1st, but then was like, I don't really want to make it on April Fool's Day.
People might not know if it's real or not. So that's really actually the reported reason why they moved it to April 2nd.
The other thing, as you mentioned, 4 p.m. Eastern.m eastern of course that's when markets close so they're not going to put them on until after the markets are uh are done for the day so they can't you know react in real time to it that's smart hopefully have a little bit of time to kind of think it over and yeah you know that's it's interesting that he does that at four o'clock so the markets markets are closed.
That shows you probably not going to be small tariffs.
And if he thought the markets were going to skyrocket because of them,
it wouldn't be a consideration to do it at 4 p.m.
No.
It could be a tough couple of days.
Fascinating.
Fascinating.
Well, we'll see you tomorrow.
It's going to be interesting to see how we work all of this out, isn't it?
This is Glenn Beck.
