Speaker 1 You can see the massive numbers draining out of your bank account every month, and I get it. Pretty much.

Speaker 1 Everything these days is communicated through your cell phone, and you kind of have to get that one for sure just to get by. But what are you getting for your money?

Speaker 1 Are you with one of the big mobile companies who are very likely donating some of the money you send to them to causes that you wouldn't agree with?

Speaker 1 Maybe it's time to switch to a company that doesn't charge you an arm and a leg, offers you good or even better service and won't spend your hard-earned money on leftist causes.

Rate, review, share.

Speaker 1 Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.

Speaker 1 Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.

Speaker 1 Stand your ground when times get dark. Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire.

Speaker 1 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 1 This is

Speaker 1 the Glen Beck program.

Speaker 1 Hello, America. I have so much to talk to you about today.

Speaker 1 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, I don't find it.

Speaker 4 What are we going to do? A show. Do we need a show every day?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 I'm with you on that. No.
Here's the thing.

Speaker 1 I saw the news of the day just the opposite.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Can we just do some critical thinking, ask a few questions, tell a few stories if we have to to make sure you understand.

Speaker 1 And I'm going to start with the, what's his name, Chuck Mangioni bill that is happening in California.

Speaker 4 Not Chuck, though. I also don't want to say his name.
So I'm happy with Chuck.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 this new bill in California where, hey, insurance companies, you got to pay out. You got to pay out.
Okay. All right.

Speaker 1 Okay, that might sound good, but see, it's all in the balance here.

Speaker 1 Although it's 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? You like, like, like, like insurance.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Well, not only does he eat, he literally runs to his bowl still, and he's

Speaker 1 not doing well.

Speaker 1 He runs to his bowl. He loves to eat, and I think it gave him a longer life and a better life.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 this new bill in California, I just, I'm boy, oh boy, are they just,

Speaker 1 you don't get it, do you? You just

Speaker 1 don't get it, California.

Speaker 1 They're now talking about, and I had to check, see if this was a April Fool's joke, but it's not.

Speaker 1 They're passing a new bill now where insurance companies have got to pay out if you put a claim in.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Good.

Speaker 1 And they can't wait. They can't hold you back.
They can't. Well, hang on just a second.

Speaker 1 They can't hold back. If you have the claim, they can't hold back.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Good.

Speaker 1 That's what you might be thinking. Good.
And it is good. If you're really sick and you need something, that's good.

Speaker 1 But have you seen the scams that are happening in our country right now? Not everybody.

Speaker 1 Now, I say that, and I 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?

Speaker 1 Well, let me tell you the tale of two stories. One is how a lot of people see the insurance company.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I'm a dragon. I like gold.
I'm not going to let anybody have my gold. Okay, and you're the brave, you're the brave knight.
Why won't this go away? You're the brave knight.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And the dragon said, you know, I'm going to take care of you.

Speaker 1 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 the catch.
Dragons like gold.

Speaker 1 So when you come running and screaming, hey, I need help. My house is burned down.
The dragon's like, yeah,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 4 Is the dragon the only one in the cave?

Speaker 1 He's the only one in the cave.

Speaker 1 I don't know why he can fly inside the cave. I don't know why he can fly to the guy and still be in the cave, but he's a big dragon.
Okay, a big dragon. Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 So he's like, I'm not really sure that that was actually a fire. Well, I'm not sure that was a fire.
You know, did you fill out form 37b in triplicate?

Speaker 1 And I'm going to need six weeks to think about it while I sit on my pile of gold.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Now, part of that is true with some insurance companies. Some insurance companies suck.

Speaker 1 Others don't.

Speaker 1 Should they suck? No.

Speaker 1 Are we going to cure this by saying everybody has to be paid and immediately and

Speaker 1 we can't stall or anything at all?

Speaker 1 No, that's not going to solve it. It's going to make it worse.
Now, here's the way.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Somebody else brings a $5,000 salad, which I would never, ever, what's a $5,000 salad? What, I mean, how could it possibly be that much?

Speaker 1 I would question the salad and I wouldn't eat it anyway, but I'd say to myself, it's $5,000. It's gotta be a good salad.
But then I'd realize it's a salad. Anyway, let's not focus on the salad here.

Speaker 1 The idea is that everybody brings something in and puts it at the table.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's the way insurance is supposed to work.

Speaker 1 With the idea that not everyone is going to need a plate at the table that big at the same time.

Speaker 1 Because if everybody says, I need that too. I want to eat like the fat, fat, fatty over there.
And they don't need to eat like the fat, fat, fatty, then what happens? Nobody has food.

Speaker 1 Eventually you run out of food. Carla is a little smoked.
All right. I'm just sitting here back here, smoking cool cigarettes, wondering what the hell, how am I supposed to feed all these people?

Speaker 1 She has to have enough food on the table for everybody who needs it.

Speaker 1 But she also knows she's got to run the potluck next week, too.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 She's not trying to rip you off.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So it's a new potluck rule here. Carly, you can't make wait, anybody wait for their plate for the insurance or the food.
You can't. You can't say no to anybody who's hungry.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Carla's not wrong.

Speaker 1 She's been running the numbers.

Speaker 1 It's actually a bad sous chef. He's an actuary named Dave.
He's got a spreadsheet. Anyway, he's looking at it.

Speaker 1 Dave says, you know, after the 2018 campfire, I mean, we served up $12 billion worth of plates to victims.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They brought their own casseroles and salads, but their house didn't burn down.

Speaker 1 They didn't come starving at the table. If everybody is starving at the table and they all come in to cash it, we're not going to have enough food.

Speaker 1 That's what insurance companies are.

Speaker 1 And California just doesn't seem to understand this.

Speaker 1 Insurance is almost a casino.

Speaker 1 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, I won.
And it's like, nope, sorry, sorry you didn't win.

Speaker 1 Glitch in the machine. Somebody make this guy go away.

Speaker 1 That's the way bad insurance run.

Speaker 1 But in insurance, it's not a guarantee. It's a bet.
that this company is taking on you.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I'm talking the old old timey days, you know, back in like the 1940s. And you had to have insurance for your ships.

Speaker 1 And there were these, you know, English guys who were like, well, this is my ship and I'll guarantee that ship. And it's got some

Speaker 1 tea on it and maybe some snuff, lots of snuff on it.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It's a bet.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You might like them until you find out they're an attorney. My lady, he's a really good guy.
Then I found out he was an attorney.

Speaker 1 But nobody wants to hang out with attorneys. Nobody wants to work for a company run by attorneys.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 4 Oh, gosh.

Speaker 1 That's what our states are like. They're all run by attorneys.

Speaker 1 And these attorneys think they can craft some legalese that will make everything right. You can't.

Speaker 1 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 words are going to fix that.

Speaker 1 Everything we have in our society is built on trust.

Speaker 1 You know why the insurance company is going out of business? Because it can't trust that there aren't people bilking the system.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Because you have insurance companies that are bilking the system.

Speaker 1 Everybody has to play fair. But California, are you really this stupid? You just,

Speaker 1 wait, what was it? Like

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Every year, everybody's house seems to burn down or slide into the ocean from mud.

Speaker 1 You can't the insurance companies can't afford it. And you won't let them raise the rate.
So they're just like, okay, well, then I'm not doing business here.

Speaker 1 What do you think is going to happen on this?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But what do you think is going to happen with this?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So we're going to get out. And then you know what those attorneys will do? You can't leave California.

Speaker 1 You can't leave.

Speaker 1 And then what happens?

Speaker 1 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 Freeborn.

Speaker 1 Casey 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 We have to change hearts by showing an unexpecting or 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 it's actually a child and that increases the chances uh dramatically that she's going to choose life for that baby they're doing god's worth work on earth every single day and they need your help because

Speaker 1 Most women are choosing abortion because they just don't think they can afford the baby.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 $140 helps rescue five babies. You're not going to regret the choice to save lives.
Please dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby.
That's pound250.

Speaker 1 Say the keyword baby and make a donation or visit preborn.com/slash beck. That's pre-born.com/slash beck.
Sponsored by pre-born. 10 seconds station idea.

Speaker 1 It was a complicated analogy, and a lot of that was right purely shooting out of my butt. So, did that make sense? Was that I get that right?

Speaker 4 I think so.

Speaker 4 Well, yes, it was a journey, I will say.

Speaker 1 That's not a good review.

Speaker 4 It was like,

Speaker 1 I wouldn't eat at that restaurant with,

Speaker 4 it was a journey. It was like the last season of Game of Thrones.

Speaker 4 I was a little confused,

Speaker 4 but you got us there, I think, at the end.

Speaker 1 All right. Okay.
All right.

Speaker 1 Am I reading this wrong on what's happening in California?

Speaker 4 No, I think you're right. I mean, it's shocking.

Speaker 1 It's shocking. They just don't get it.

Speaker 4 And I'm really disgusted by the hero worship of this loser.

Speaker 4 It's really revolting. I don't even want to say his name, but the fact they're really making him on the left, he's just a celebrity in a lot of circles.

Speaker 4 He's just this great guy who did this great thing. He just murdered a dad on the side of the, as he's walking on the sidewalk.

Speaker 4 Murdered a father.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So let me just ask you some questions.

Speaker 1 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, somebody they represent, that it's okay to kill them.

Speaker 4 I mean, it's certainly not, Glenn.

Speaker 4 I mean,

Speaker 4 in a pathetic way, and I don't mean this with any like direct

Speaker 4 line for this being true, but like when it happened, there was this thought that I think it went through everybody's mind, which was like, this kid's dad

Speaker 4 was denied a claim by this company, and this CEO had some hand in it.

Speaker 4 It wasn't even close to that.

Speaker 4 It was this like really poorly thought-out,

Speaker 4 generalized, awful liberal critique of

Speaker 4 the healthcare industry.

Speaker 1 And it was like

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 Like, I'm sorry, if you're not the best guy to understand it, maybe don't murder people on the side of it.

Speaker 1 Like, would it be okay for me after that explanation of insurance to go murder somebody in the street? No,

Speaker 1 maybe, maybe, well, it would be me. I was going to say, maybe the person that helped write that

Speaker 1 analogy, but that would be me. So would it be okay for me to kill myself? I'm confused.

Speaker 4 I'm confused again. You're deep into another analogy.
I will say, you've talked so much about AI.

Speaker 4 Run it through AI, please. Next time you're running a manifesto, can you put it through Chat GPT? Let Grock have a shot at it so at least it makes some freaking sense.

Speaker 4 At least it looks like you've thought about this after taking a man's life.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 there are going to be times where people,

Speaker 1 let's say

Speaker 1 truckers go on strike, strike and that makes the price of your eggs go up and everything else goes up.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's just say that happens and your family is really struggling and you are barely making it

Speaker 1 and 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And I don't understand when did that become okay for half the nation. When did that become okay, so okay,

Speaker 1 that one of the 50 states can introduce a bill where that guy is referenced in a positive way?

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 I'm going to show you you how we can talk to each other hopefully on a few issues today just stick around if we've got a lot more and most of it will be understandable coming up

Speaker 1 this is glenn beck

Speaker 1 all right i want to talk to you about uh the international fellowship of christians and jews if you're like me you're a firm supporter of the jews and the state of israel and most of the time that manifests in the way you

Speaker 1 way you say it and

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And that's incredibly important to stand up and say it.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 Israelis with life-saving security essentials, things like bomb shelters, armored security vehicles, ambulances, firefighting equipment, flak jackets, bulletproof vests.

Speaker 4 All right.

Speaker 1 I want to talk to you about.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And this is

Speaker 1 the woman who got hit by the bus, Virginia. How do you say her last name?

Speaker 4 Jaffrey. Jaffrey.

Speaker 1 Okay, she's the one that

Speaker 1 was in the picture with Jeffrey Epstein

Speaker 1 at, I don't know, the island or someplace with Prince Andrew. Okay.

Speaker 1 And I believe she's a victim.

Speaker 1 I don't have anything to back that up other than

Speaker 1 I believe Prince Andrew is an absolute dirtbag. And I believe, you know, that Jeffrey Epstein was also a major dirtbag.
And so why was this young girl with...

Speaker 1 Prince Andrew with his arm around her, you know,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 I knew Jeffrey Epstein wasn't dead. He's driving a bus in Perth, Australia.
He's what? What?

Speaker 1 You don't, you don't buy that? No, I strangely I don't.

Speaker 4 It would be an interesting twist to the story.

Speaker 1 It really would. Now, she apparently has four days to live.

Speaker 1 From what date?

Speaker 1 What is the... Okay, let me just

Speaker 4 give you the weird part. I agree.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 It doesn't mean that I don't believe the story. It just means,

Speaker 1 can we just stop and ask some critical questions? And I'm going to do this to every story today. Okay.

Speaker 1 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 Villachez, the little

Speaker 1 plane from Fantasy Island. I don't know who this woman is.
So who is she? What's her relationship to this woman? Does Does she have a history of reliable reporting? Does she have any bias?

Speaker 1 She's a lady. Does she have a problem with Prince Andrew? I don't know.

Speaker 1 But that's the first question we should ask: who is this woman that's claiming all of this stuff? Then the next question is:

Speaker 1 Are there any primary sources of the accident claim? Well,

Speaker 1 no,

Speaker 1 no, uh-uh.

Speaker 1 Her spokesperson,

Speaker 1 they they said, you know, that she's in the hospital. Okay,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But what happened?

Speaker 1 Why is there a lack of official evidence or statements from any authorities? The article notes that as of March 31st, 2025,

Speaker 1 there's no official evidence or statement from authorities.

Speaker 1 Whoa, wait.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 What could explain that?

Speaker 1 And does that have an impact at all on you believing this story or not?

Speaker 1 What specific details are missing about

Speaker 1 the accident? And why might they not be available? The exact date, the location, the official police report, they're not there.

Speaker 1 It's not been released. What?

Speaker 1 Now,

Speaker 1 is this due to a lack of

Speaker 1 paper?

Speaker 1 Maybe they're run out of

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 How plausible is it?

Speaker 1 They claim that she was hit by a school bus traveling at 110 kilometers at 70 miles an hour. Okay.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 You know, it should do some injuries, not just with the person they hit, but they say that she had severe injuries like kidney and renal failure. Okay.

Speaker 1 That seems like it could happen at 70 miles an hour. You're hit by a bus, but is it is 70 miles an hour realistic for a school bus in a residential area?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I've seen the post of her. She looks bad.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 Jeffrey Epstein and they say that he hung himself with a paper sheet, this is what happens. This is what happens.

Speaker 1 People don't believe anybody. And so then they start, I mean, this is the disturbing part of this story to me is, see, the FBI is trying to kill her.

Speaker 1 Before she can testify on anybody else, they want her dead. Wait, wait.
Now we're on to Cash Patel

Speaker 1 wants are dead?

Speaker 1 Now, I can't explain why Cash Patel and why Pam Bondi have not released this, but I don't think I'm on the train yet of Cash Patel is driving a school bus in Perth.

Speaker 1 I don't see that as a logical place.

Speaker 4 He seems busy, too busy to have a second job. for example, especially that far away.

Speaker 1 Is there anybody with any narrative at all, any eyewitness accounts to any of this?

Speaker 4 The police did say that there was a minor crash that happened.

Speaker 1 That's not a minor crash.

Speaker 1 Is it?

Speaker 4 I mean, you could get banged up by a minor crash. It doesn't mean you have four days.

Speaker 1 70 miles an hour or 70 kilometers. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, that's not a minor crash with a school bus.

Speaker 4 No one knows what that speed that is, though.

Speaker 4 It could be three miles an hour.

Speaker 1 I have no idea. You're right.
That's the problem. Until we find out, that should be in the story, too.
Why are they only using kilometers?

Speaker 4 Bring in some scientists. Either they can convert it or at least get close.
No one knows.

Speaker 1 Nobody knows. You're right.

Speaker 4 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?

Speaker 4 Maybe I missed it, but like where I saw it was from the dad who said she has four days.

Speaker 4 Well, that

Speaker 4 four days until she leaves the hospital?

Speaker 4 Four days until what?

Speaker 4 Four days to live? Really? I don't know. It's a very,

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 4 This is this is the problem with anything Epstein, I think.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 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 know.

Speaker 1 So here's the thing: we can't always answer all of the questions. We can't tell you what's true.

Speaker 4 Okay. On this one, no.

Speaker 1 We can't.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 why are all these things left out?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Maybe space aliens were driving the bus. I don't know.
But because I don't know, I don't think I'm going to go on and dogpile on that right now.

Speaker 1 This is where our responsibility as human being kicks in. We see things that we think are outrageous.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Well, no.

Speaker 1 I mean, usually things I think are too crazy actually end up happening. And that's another problem.

Speaker 1 And again, that's the problem with our media and our governments

Speaker 1 and our

Speaker 1 banks, our corporations. Our churches in some cases.

Speaker 1 They're not telling you the truth.

Speaker 1 Well, Well, that's just a conspiracy. What, that you didn't tell me the truth now or when you said ESG was a conspiracy?

Speaker 1 When were you telling me? Because I'm confused here. That's the way we like it.

Speaker 1 Only critical thinking is going to get us out of this. And we have to do critical thinking on everything that we see.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's.

Speaker 1 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 his venture capitalist friend found?

Speaker 1 He came in, volunteered for Social Security to try to clean it up. They don't strike me as deep conservatives.
And they're on stage and they're explaining what happened to Social Security. And

Speaker 1 half the country is just saying, they're liars.

Speaker 1 They're liars?

Speaker 1 Or even better, so what? They gave that Social Security

Speaker 1 numbers and the benefits to people who just came here illegally. They're people too.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That we have to step back. I'm going to try next hour to teach you how to talk to your friends and your family that they don't understand

Speaker 1 and you don't understand them and you're like i don't understand 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

Speaker 1 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 ask my question i don't know where i stand on this story about you know the woman that i think prince andrew you know raped uh i don't know know.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Everyone has an opinion, even though we don't have any information. All right, back in just a second.

Speaker 1 There are a lot of real estate agents out there, and you can swing a dead cat around without hitting one of those.

Speaker 1 There seem to be everywhere. A lot of cases, the dead cat would probably make a better real estate agent than the person on the sign there that you just hit.
But

Speaker 1 I want to introduce you to some people that I trust that are different.

Speaker 1 My company is realestate agentsitrust.com. We vet these people like honestly, like they're planning to marry my daughter.

Speaker 1 You know, we sit there cleaning a shotgun while we're interviewing. So let me tell you, where are you taking my couple I just sent you?

Speaker 1 What kind of houses are you taking? You've been listening to them? Okay.

Speaker 1 We don't actually sit there with a shotgun, or so I'd lead you to believe. Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Speaker 1 We find the agents that are the best in your area, that meet all the qualifications that we are looking for. People who will listen to you and actually help you find the right house.

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

Speaker 1 Glenn Beck will be right back.

Speaker 2 So, are you a yo-yo dieter?

Speaker 4 Are you a yo-yo dieter? Are you one of the people that kind of lose weight and then gain it all back sometimes, plus a few extra pounds?

Speaker 4 You know, some people actually, that happens to them, and those people are loudly yelling, shut up.

Speaker 4 Then, of course, you could lose it again, maybe regain it all back again. You get this cycle that kind of keeps going on and on and on and on.

Speaker 1 Shut up!

Speaker 4 Now, I will say this. Most of the things we talk about in this program don't get too personal.
Some do to particular hosts. But believe it or not, dieting doesn't happen.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 It can be dangerous, though,

Speaker 4 Glenn. It can lead to risk of heart attack or stroke or type 2 diabetes or can cause other health problems.

Speaker 1 Praying for a stroke.

Speaker 4 This biography of Glenn Beck is brought to you by our friends at Lean.

Speaker 4 You're going through all of this. You only have to, you know, you do all this this cycle and you only have to start over again.
It's just awful. So, how do you break that yo-yo diet situation?

Speaker 4 It is lean. Lean is a supplement, not an injection, and you don't need a prescription for it.

Speaker 4 The science behind lean is impressive. It's well studied.
And I think you're really going to enjoy it. Let me give you the details here on lean, where to get it.
Go to takelean.com.

Speaker 4 The code is blaze20. Takelean.com.
If you're worried about

Speaker 4 the up-and-down dieting, you don't want to go through some of these other treatments,

Speaker 4 takelead.com. The code is Blaze20.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I got some common sense for you right here

Speaker 1 that we're going to talk to you about Tesla, also

Speaker 1 the third term. Did you see what the New York Times said about Donald Trump Trump and the third term thing? I actually found this fascinating.

Speaker 1 You know, 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 but

Speaker 1 anyway,

Speaker 1 do you see what they said? New York Times said

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's really smart of them. That's very smart.
No, you don't think so?

Speaker 4 I mean, it's an argument.

Speaker 1 And it's an argument.

Speaker 4 Is it the argument? I don't know.

Speaker 1 Is it the true thing?

Speaker 4 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 where we found a thing to say.

Speaker 1 Look.

Speaker 4 Yes, I guess it would be 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 the lame dunk thing thing is a problem for presidents

Speaker 4 a great way to solve that uh uh you know i guess could be this if you it

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 It's like, what are we doing here?

Speaker 1 I would love the president.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 John Quincy Adams, because John Adams was so against slavery. He taught his sons to be against slavery.

Speaker 1 And John Quincy Adams was the president, couldn't make the moves on slavery, knew it had to come from the House of Representatives.

Speaker 1 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 re-election every two years.

Speaker 1 But he's the guy who actually changed,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I would love to see Donald Trump run for Congress and then be elected Speaker of the House. Oh, that would be fun.
That would be fun. Oh, that would be fun.
Fascinating. Fascinating.

Speaker 4 Again, he doesn't even have to run for Congress to be Speaker of the House.

Speaker 1 That's right. That's right.

Speaker 4 He could be anybody. That's right.
I mean, it's unlikely that that happens, but it couldn't be.

Speaker 1 Do you think he's going to lose?

Speaker 1 There's no way.

Speaker 4 I mean, he'd pick a district he would go and win for sure. But still, I mean, he wouldn't even need to run.

Speaker 4 And I think the Republican Party would embrace it, honestly. I just, you know, again,

Speaker 4 we don't need to.

Speaker 5 He's doing, let him do his job.

Speaker 4 I feel like this is just a, it is a distraction. It might be a distraction on his part to the media.

Speaker 1 That's why 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.

Speaker 1 You know, you never know what's going to happen. The future is completely open-ended.
Every day you have to climb out of bed knowing that pretty much anything could happen.

Speaker 1 Given that, why wouldn't you do everything you can to make sure you're least prepared for the things that you see as possible?

Speaker 1 You know, there's things that are just, you know, highly, highly unlikely,

Speaker 1 but so, such a bad impact, like, you know, fire insurance. You've got to have fire insurance, right? Because it's catastrophic if it happens, but it's unlikely to happen.

Speaker 1 Well, one thing that's not unlikely to happen is somebody in the family gets sick while you're on vacation. Now,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That could also happen. Probable.

Speaker 1 So I couldn't sleep last night. I was my head was just spinning all night just thinking about stuff and

Speaker 1 I couldn't get a couple of stories out of my mind.

Speaker 1 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 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.

Speaker 1 And they made an announcement, we'll play for you, about Social Security. The other thing, Wisconsin has a big vote today,

Speaker 1 and this could mean

Speaker 1 the balance of the House, Republican, Democrat.

Speaker 1 And we'll see. And we'll see what happens today.
How many people are going to be out voting?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And this is what kept me up. These are global protests.
These are

Speaker 1 demonstrators outside of Tesla showrooms. We've seen fires.
We've seen people burning the cars and the lithium batteries.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 we're seeing them all over the world.

Speaker 1 So can we just stop?

Speaker 1 Today's theme of the show is just, can we think, ask some critically thinking questions? Can we do that?

Speaker 1 Before we accept this story, let's ask some things because this is what really kept me up last night.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I would just like to know, what are the people in England protesting? What policy? What decision?

Speaker 1 Because Musk isn't pushing a global war.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Here's what he's doing. He's helping lead a department focused on the United States federal budgeting and efficiency.

Speaker 1 Why would anyone in Germany or Sweden or Ireland care?

Speaker 1 Why?

Speaker 1 I mean, I looked last night. I tried to find, has there any been anything like this in history? No, you can go to, you know, people protesting the nukes and war and everything, but not this.

Speaker 1 There's nothing where a domestic policy dispute has all of a sudden swept the globe.

Speaker 1 So why would they care about this so deeply?

Speaker 1 Hmm.

Speaker 1 Getting out of NATO? Okay.

Speaker 1 Even if they were saying, you know, Greenland, America just wants to buy Greenland and they're out, you know, protesting. Okay, I could see that for some degree.
But I can't see

Speaker 1 people in, I don't know, whatever city Greenland has, or the people in Denmark, you know, 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.

Speaker 1 Come on, Sven, let's go out and burn a Tesla. Makes no sense.

Speaker 1 Have you ever seen a protest in foreign countries over a U.S. cabinet appointment ever in your life?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's unprecedented. It does, it, it, it, it's never happened.
So who benefits? That's the first. The first question is, have you ever seen this before?

Speaker 1 Second, why would anybody in Europe care about this?

Speaker 1 Three,

Speaker 1 who benefits?

Speaker 1 Well, let's look at Tesla. This is the company that made electric cars mainstream.
It jump-started the global EV race.

Speaker 1 When everybody was saying, we 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.

Speaker 1 He not only develops solar panels, battery storage, charging infrastructure, things environmentalists have been begging the world to adopt for decades.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 That's not activism. That's contradiction.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It doesn't.

Speaker 1 So let's ask a deeper question.

Speaker 1 Are all of the claims you've made since the 19, really 80s, 90s, we're all five years away from something worse than World War II?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Why would you do that? We only have five years. These guys are helping us.
It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It's when he stood up and defended free speech.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's when the outrage machine flipped on. They had to put him out of business, have to put him out of business.

Speaker 1 And when people try to justify it, they usually pivot to one word. Well, he's a fascist.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Let's think about that for a second.

Speaker 1 What do you think? I feel like, you know, I feel like Montoya and the six-fingered fingered man. You keep using that word.
I do not think it means what you think it means. What does fascism mean?

Speaker 1 What is a fascist?

Speaker 1 Is it simply somebody with a lot of money and a large platform? Is that what it is?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Traditional fascism is defined by state control, forced conformity, censorship, and the silencing of dissent. That's what a fascist does.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 will you recognize you don't understand the word fascist or fascism? And maybe you can pick another word, but that one, you know,

Speaker 1 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 can call him a fascist all you want, but it doesn't make him a fascist.

Speaker 1 Let's find another word that might work for you.

Speaker 1 Maybe political opponent is better.

Speaker 1 By the way, Musk, that fascist, is the one being protested, censored, and attacked for trying to create platforms where dissent is allowed.

Speaker 1 How?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So here's the question. Is he really a fascist?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He's just going to do it, whether you like it or not.

Speaker 1 That

Speaker 1 doesn't make you a fascist. It makes you a fascist if you're telling everyone they must conform.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 See, 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.

Speaker 1 There's no word. You've taken the word.

Speaker 1 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 us everybody racist.

Speaker 1 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 the fascists.

Speaker 1 What do you do when actual fascists arrive?

Speaker 1 So let's get back to the root.

Speaker 1 These protests, they don't make any sense. Let's ask some more questions.
Who's organizing these protests? Who's funding these protests?

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 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 they're cutting some teachers salary over in Ireland

Speaker 1 oh okay

Speaker 1 I don't care I don't live in Ireland. I don't care.
It doesn't affect my life at all.

Speaker 1 So how is this affecting their life?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 And who's paying for all that advertisement?

Speaker 1 See, we're living in an age age now where perception is power. That's it.
One viral video can topple a reputation. One headline can shape an election.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 then you can control almost any story. And they know that.

Speaker 1 So here's the challenge for you today.

Speaker 1 I think you're gonna love it this is for you and the people you love

Speaker 1 think

Speaker 1 what

Speaker 1 think

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 And most importantly, are we now burning down the lifeboats just because we don't like the captain of the ship

Speaker 1 because if we are we might win the argument today but did you see the end of Titanic

Speaker 1 maybe we should maybe we should watch that I'm the king of the world was that Elon Musk on the did he actually sink that ship Might be. He's a fascist, you know.

Speaker 1 And the number one thing that fascists do,

Speaker 1 sink big ships.

Speaker 1 Okay, they've 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 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 doesn't do a lot for your your mood either or your outlook on life at all.

Speaker 1 I know exactly what it's like to feel. And 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.

Speaker 1 I'm straight up with you on that. It works for about 70% of the people who try it.

10 seconds station ID.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Let me get into the SSI thing here, the Social Security insurance. So, Elon Musk and a friend of his, they were out in Wisconsin

Speaker 1 doing a rally or a town hall, and they were talking about how

Speaker 1 what they found in Social Security is just horrible. The government was giving away social security numbers, and it wasn't haphazard, it was planned.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 We are paying people who came here illegally, we're giving them social security.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 you know, we don't survive as a nation

Speaker 1 without some accountability and without some common ground. And I don't know, again,

Speaker 1 when did it become okay

Speaker 1 to

Speaker 1 cheer or jeer?

Speaker 1 for somebody who's stopping corruption in our government.

Speaker 1 when did it be okay i mean how did we get here how did 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 just let me say this.

Speaker 1 Just ask your friend, ask yourself this question. If the people you trusted the least were doing this, would you be okay with it?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It's not a gotcha. It's a principle.
It's critical thinking. Would you be okay?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So how do you talk to your friends and your family who just don't seem to see what we see?

Speaker 1 Well, it doesn't start with

Speaker 1 confrontation. It starts with curiosity.
Which brings us to questions you can ask.

Speaker 1 You ask them, can we just look at this as if we didn't know who was in office?

Speaker 1 Because then we can find our principles. Would you still feel like this was okay?

Speaker 1 What's the limiting principle here?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 If we can just do this now, is there any limiting principle? What can't we do?

Speaker 1 What What happens to a country when the law no longer means what it says?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And that's the conflict that they're having in their head right now. Okay.
They want to be consistent. They want to be fair.
But sometimes they just need a little help connecting the dots.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 The dishonest ones will end the conversation there.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So I can say, just listen, even when it makes you really uncomfortable. Because we have to find our way back to truth,

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 it's just about right and wrong. And if we can't do this, then the fight isn't about left versus right anymore.

Speaker 1 It honestly isn't even about good and evil,

Speaker 1 it's about sane versus the insane.

Speaker 1 As long as they're getting their money, I mean, mean, they do care. I mean, they care if you're struggling, you know, make everything work at the end of every month.
No, wait, no, they don't.

Speaker 1 They don't. They're never with you on those nights when you just can't sleep.

Speaker 4 Big election in Wisconsin today. We'll talk to Senator Ron Johnson about it next.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Speaker 1 Thank you so much for listening today. We got a great show for you.
Not today, of course, but maybe sometime later this week.

Speaker 1 We have Senator Ron Johnson on with us. He's going to be joining us in just a a few minutes.

Speaker 1 He is obviously Republican from Wisconsin, the big vote, and what the Supreme Court would mean for the rest of the country, a liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Speaker 1 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 a state Supreme Court on April 1st.
That's today.

Speaker 1 Brad Schimmel is running against radical left liberal Susan Crawford, who has repeatedly given child molesters, rapists, women beaters, and domestic abusers light sentences.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 All voters who believe in common sense should get out to vote early for Brad Schimmel.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So important, please, Wisconsin, get out and vote today

Speaker 1 for Brad Schimmel. That's from the president.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Did you see that Elon Musk was out doing this as well? I mean, he's passionate about it as well.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Really passionate about it.

Speaker 4 Really fired up, and they've spent a lot of money. They're really focused on it.
It's an important election.

Speaker 1 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? Good morning, Gwen.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 7 Over the last two years, they've redistricted our state assembly and state senate, so our majorities in those chambers has shrunken.

Speaker 7 And if they retain that radical left majority on the court, they will redistrict Derek Van Oden and Brian Stiles congressional seats, really put those things in jeopardy.

Speaker 7 If they put those in jeopardy with such a slim majority, we could lose the majority in the second half of Trump's term.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 7 And then the second two years is just going to be a you know what ride

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 7 And we just may take Wisconsin off the map in terms of a battleground state for the 10 electoral votes for a Republican president.

Speaker 7 I mean, that's how serious this is, not to mention the fact they'll overturn

Speaker 7 Act 10, which is Governor Walker's signature achievement, saved Wisconsin hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars. in tax payments, that type of thing.
So it's just a crucial election.

Speaker 7 And the good news, 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.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 7 I mean, we should be logging 1.5, 1.6 million votes. So if you you voted for him, use your text chains,

Speaker 7 use your email chains, talk to everybody you know that also voted for Donald Trump and get out and vote now. We have to win this election.

Speaker 1 I don't think I have ever heard, Stu, have you ever heard a state Supreme Court election be this

Speaker 1 trumpeted like this? It's so important to the nation.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 1 I think maybe that's because George Soros is on one side and Elon Musk is on the other side. Okay, okay, that's fair.

Speaker 1 They don't exactly have to pinch pennies. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Guys,

Speaker 7 this started with Eric Holder, who started taking over all these district attorneys and

Speaker 7 George Soros funding these district attorneys that wouldn't prosecute crime. I mean, this is the left is very smart.
They're relentless. So through stealth, They've taken over school boards.

Speaker 7 Again, they've gotten their radical left ideology infiltrated into every institution of this country, particularly our legal system.

Speaker 7 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?

Speaker 7 I mean, they're frustrating those attempts. Same thing's happening in the Wisconsin court.

Speaker 7 So they're the ones that, again, turned the 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court race into the most expensive race in history, over $50 million.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 7 I just hope and pray that he's successful.

Speaker 1 What is he doing?

Speaker 1 Explain what you mean by that.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 7 And so hopefully enough Trump voters are paying attention and will get off the couch, get out and vote and secure this Supreme Court seat.

Speaker 1 How are the numbers on early voting? Do you know?

Speaker 7 Well, not good, quite honestly. I mean, Elon said at the event on Sunday night that 85% betting chance that Brad Schumel is going to lose.
That's why this is a real rallying crisis.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 1 It is amazing to me

Speaker 1 what the left is doing through the court system.

Speaker 1 And I I mean, you know, we've seen George Soros coming for a long time, and now he's just, it's almost like he, it's almost like nobody pays even attention to him. What he has done to our country,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 boogeyman.

Speaker 7 That's because the corporate legacy media, they're a bunch of leftists themselves, but it's also because as conservatives, we really don't want to have to deal with government.

Speaker 7 We just want government off our bat. 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.

Speaker 7 And so what happens, we saw this under Reagan, you know, you re-elect Ronald Reagan, he drops tax rates down to 28%. We kind of

Speaker 7 clap our hands together and say, okay, we solved this problem, they're defeated. No, the left is relentless.
And they, again, they do it through stealth. So they infiltrate every institution.

Speaker 7 And we just, we don't even see it coming. And we didn't see the Supreme Court race in 2023 coming.

Speaker 7 We haven't seen, and even conservative school districts, the radical leftists take over school boards and city councils and county boards. So again, government is everything to the leftists.

Speaker 7 To 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.

Speaker 7 The 1.7 million voters for Trump, they just aren't, they haven't paid enough attention to it right now. But now's the time to wake up, pay attention to it, and secure this Supreme Court seat.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Thank you for everything you've done in the Senate and protecting our nation and your state. We appreciate it.
God bless you. Thanks, Amian.
You bet.

Speaker 1 Ron Johnson, the senator from

Speaker 1 Wisconsin. Boy, I tell you, that is,

Speaker 1 it is, it's amazing how this just never, ever ends. It just doesn't, 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 this society so far has done to our children. So, I mean, I've always said

Speaker 1 God, family, country. It's actually, I think,

Speaker 1 country, God, family. It might be country family God.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 God's in last place now? Gosh. Well,

Speaker 1 if you don't have country, you won't have God.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, and maybe it's, maybe it's country God family. And also, that's not true.

Speaker 4 I mean, like, how many, how many people, how many

Speaker 4 Afghanis have we talked to over the years?

Speaker 1 You won't have their godly

Speaker 1 God, but you won't have a God in their lives.

Speaker 1 If you're not participating, if the godly people don't come out and participate,

Speaker 1 your country is going to go to hell.

Speaker 4 You can be godly in a place

Speaker 4 where a government tells you you can't. Really? Is this what we're doing? Yeah, I know what you.

Speaker 1 Oh, I just want to have some critical questions, Glenn. I thought that's what the show was all about.

Speaker 4 You said critical thinking. I'm being critical of you.
That's what you wanted, right?

Speaker 1 No, that's not.

Speaker 4 You wanted criticism of you.

Speaker 4 That's how I took critical thinking.

Speaker 1 I've got a critical question for you: some critical thinking. Why the hell are you still here? Why are you still talking? That's really the point.
It is.

Speaker 4 It's actually what I'm asking myself.

Speaker 1 Win that one. Stand by more administered.

Speaker 1 More Glenn Beck coming up next.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the Glenbeck program. I want to play a couple of things.
First of all, I want to, Stu, if you will, we're going to describe this video here. Okay.
This is a vandal

Speaker 1 working some artwork on a Tesla. Go ahead.
Play this.

Speaker 1 describe, he's getting out of the car.

Speaker 4 He's hiding. He's hiding.
Which is always

Speaker 1 key.

Speaker 4 Again, these people don't realize that Teslas have cameras all over them.

Speaker 4 Every angle.

Speaker 1 Just so stupid. Okay, so he's hiding.
And now he was caught on camera. And so the person

Speaker 1 who had the Tesla, whose car was keyed, he confronted him in the parking lot. This is satisfying.
Listen to this.

Speaker 8 Free service. Free service.
How about you pay for the repairs? Write a check. You just bought a Tesla.
I can wipe it off the

Speaker 8 hate crime, sir.

Speaker 8 It is a hate crime.

Speaker 8 Did you write a swastika on that? 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.

Speaker 8 Is it a swastika?

Speaker 8 Is it a swastika? Have you looked at your

Speaker 8 swastika? Is there a key mark? Is it a swastika?

Speaker 8 It's at the police right now. It's being fingerprinted.

Speaker 5 What do you mean it's being fingerprinted?

Speaker 8 Because they were trying to track you down. Thankfully, Facebook tracked you down.

Speaker 8 So your business, your freaking livelihood, everything now, because you chose to write a,

Speaker 8 so tell Facebook that you're sorry for writing a swastika on a Tesla.

Speaker 9 Listen, I said I'm sorry for what?

Speaker 8 And I apologize.

Speaker 9 I have nothing against your car, and I have nothing against you.

Speaker 8 So why would you write a swastika on a Tesla?

Speaker 9 Because Obviously, I have something against Elon Musk, but that's not the only thing that's going to be a lot of fun.

Speaker 8 So, Elon Musk owns that car? Because

Speaker 8 it was bought and paid for a long time ago.

Speaker 9 That's why it's misguided, and obviously, I did not intend to delete it.

Speaker 1 This is a total change. What do you mean? It's that the police, why do the police have their fingerprinting it?

Speaker 1 I boy, was that

Speaker 1 wow, I feel completely different.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I mean, like, his explanation at the end there is a good one for like a mean tweet, right? Like, if if you're like, ah, you know, you're right.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 1 A lot of people have crayons in their pockets as adults. Yeah, right.
Come out of the car with the crayon,

Speaker 1 holding it like a key. Yeah.
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.

Speaker 1 Listen to this about Social Security.

Speaker 5 When we saw these numbers, we're like, what is this?

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 5 Yeah, this is a mind-blowing charge. Yeah, just this literally blew us away.
When you come in the country, if you're an illegal, there's a couple ways to come in.

Speaker 5 You come in through a port of entry, and you can tell them you're afraid.

Speaker 5 They'll give you an 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.

Speaker 5 I talked to Border Patrol myself. Elon was there too.
I went to Laredo, and I went to Brownsville. Elon went to Eagle Pass.

Speaker 5 You walk up to a Border Patrol officer and you tell them you want to come in. They have a couple of choices.

Speaker 5 They could charge you with a misdemeanor or a felony under 1325, or they can make it an administrative offense, like a parking ticket, basically.

Speaker 5 They were told to do that, make it an administrative offense under the last administration.

Speaker 1 And then you walk across the border, they do what's called a

Speaker 5 release from your own recognizance, and they give you an NTA notice to appear, which appear to judge. The wait times on judges are like average six years.

Speaker 5 Look at Garak, you'll see it on immigration judges. There's only 700 of them.
This is 5.5 million people. Okay, so what happens then?

Speaker 5 Once you're in the country and you've got asylum through one of these pathways, and we mapped the whole thing out,

Speaker 5 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.

Speaker 5 And then Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your Social Street number. No interview.

Speaker 1 No ID.

Speaker 1 There are millions of people getting Social Security through that process that just came across our border illegally. This is Glenn Beck.

Speaker 1 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is

Speaker 1 the Glen Beck program.

Speaker 1 You know, we are now living in a world where it is totally acceptable, even celebrated, to key somebody's car,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's not protest, that's not justice, that's just flat-out violence.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Because I love these. Environmentalists are the ones who are like, we got to burn these Teslas down to the ground.
Really, how much damage are you doing to the planet? I just...

Speaker 1 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 that

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 We try to do the right thing and try to represent your interests.

Speaker 1 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 interests, interests, not even best interests.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 If you're with Verizon, congratulations, some of your money's going to Planned Parenthood.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And they're all upfront about it on the front page of the website. You don't have to do it, they're not hiding it at all.
They're proud of it. You can have the same great sell service.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So, you know, you don't have to like Elon Musk. You don't have to drive a Tesla.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Oh, the opposite? No, I'm pretty sure I'm on the right side then. I mean, who thinks that? Who thinks that?

Speaker 1 Martin Luther King didn't say, you just got to hurt them and beat them in the streets until they agree with you. Can you imagine Martin Luther King?

Speaker 1 Yeah, you know what I got to tell you? We're going to beat the snot out of those people every day till we get our way. No.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 righteousness now?

Speaker 1 When did we start thinking that violence was a valid argument?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Sneaks out of his car and he's keying the side of a Tesla. They catch him and he's like, what? What? No, I, what are you talking about? Come on, man.

Speaker 1 And he's an adult.

Speaker 1 He's an actual adult. This isn't a 20-something.
This guy, how old do you think he is, Sarah? 35, 40?

Speaker 4 I was even going higher, maybe 50.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, this is an adult.

Speaker 1 You know, this is much bigger than Tesla's. This is about the idea that violence is okay if your cause is just enough.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 The second you use force to silence or punish somebody for thinking differently than you, you're no longer the good guy. I don't know if you

Speaker 1 don't know if you catch that yet. You're a bully with a slogan.
That's all you are.

Speaker 1 So today I've been trying to concentrate on how to talk to your friends.

Speaker 1 How do you, you know, how do you talk to people who defend this kind of behavior? How do you talk to your family?

Speaker 1 Because I know I have members of my family that, you know, they don't listen to me, you know, because

Speaker 1 I'm Glenn. You know what I mean? Nobody in my family is impressed by me.
Nobody.

Speaker 1 And, you know, it's good because it keeps you humble. But, you know, they don't listen to me.

Speaker 1 I don't have my, no, nobody in my family is like, well, ask Glenn, because I bet he was there and saw that. No,

Speaker 1 no, we saw it on CNN. That's enough for us.
Okay. All right.
Well, okay.

Speaker 1 We have to start asking people.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's a cult. That's a warning sign.
Okay.

Speaker 1 So let's be the opposite. Let's make sure everybody knows we love our family.
We want to be with you.

Speaker 1 But, you know, we don't want to disagree with you, but. We're also not going to avoid the truth.
But I really want to understand,

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 you kind of have to take all of it here because this is all one in the same now. It's the same package.

Speaker 1 Ask them, would you feel good about this if this was done to your car?

Speaker 1 Now, who could say yes to that?

Speaker 1 Would you feel good if that was happening to your sister?

Speaker 1 Would you feel good if that 61 year old woman in Phoenix if that was your sister or your mom

Speaker 4 would you feel good about that

Speaker 1 nobody would nobody would so how is it you're standing by and saying it's okay

Speaker 1 let me ask you is violence the answer when you don't get your way

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Do you guys remember saying that? Because turns out I think you're right, kind of, you know, war is different,

Speaker 1 but we've made a lot of mistakes in war, so why? Why did you leave that? Why did you abandon that place?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Because if your ideology only works when it's enforced by fists or fire, then it doesn't, your philosophy doesn't work. Okay,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 The only way to be a race, an anti-racist is the only way to not be racist is to be an anti-racist, right? Or pro-ra, what do they call that?

Speaker 4 Yeah, I think you're right.

Speaker 1 The only way to not be a racist is to be an anti-racist.

Speaker 4 Not being racist isn't enough.

Speaker 1 It is not enough.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Why are you okay with people doing things that are violent now?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Where are you? Because I'm against this violence and I was against that violence. And

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And you're really half a step away from not being a mob, but terrorists. That's scary.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 No, you wouldn't.

Speaker 1 So why tolerate it? Stand up. It's okay.
It's okay to stand up and say, I mean,

Speaker 1 I did this yesterday.

Speaker 1 I mean, Stu and I, it's going to become 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,

Speaker 1 you know, Donald Trump talking about, you know, possibility of third term.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 There are not ways. You know, Roger Eale 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.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, no, there's not. There's not things we have to do.
We always have to abide by the Constitution.

Speaker 1 That's the answer there.

Speaker 1 And this is going to get hard for a lot of people because I really, truly believe Donald Trump is the only one.

Speaker 1 with the backbone, the spine, the vision to stand up and to withstand all of the punches that he has received.

Speaker 1 Can you name one other person that could go through everything that he's gone through and actually turn out to be nicer?

Speaker 1 Because I don't know a soul.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 get his C C-legs.

Speaker 1 And I also believe that

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And I also believe extraordinary times call for extraordinary men. So I believe all those things about Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 Now,

Speaker 1 a separate question.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 When it comes to power, do the ends ever justify the means?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They become habits, and they always come around and bite you in the butt. Take Venezuela.
Do you remember Hugo Chavez? He rewrote the Constitution to stay in power for the people

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Principle two, if you love the Constitution, you don't make exceptions for your guy.

Speaker 1 If you love the rule of law, my guy broke the law, he's got to go to jail.

Speaker 1 Constitution is not a menu. It's not like I'll have a little of that and a little of that.
No.

Speaker 1 This is one of those restaurants you walk into and they're like, there are no substitutions.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 The nation is 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.

Speaker 1 They certainly didn't understand that under Biden. No man is above the law, period.

Speaker 1 Principle number three.

Speaker 1 You got to ask yourself this question.

Speaker 1 Would I like this if it were somebody I despised?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So, no.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You might get your revenge, maybe even get healing out of it. And the whole world is great.
But what happens when that guy is gone?

Speaker 1 There are no term limits anymore. Who says that they're term limits? You can't ignore these things.

Speaker 1 Somebody, Newsome, AOC, or worse, comes along, seizes the president, declares they're not leaving either. This is what the Democrats do.

Speaker 1 You know, if they would have changed the number of the Supreme Court, how do you think that'd be working out for them right now?

Speaker 1 I don't think it'd be working out well.

Speaker 1 They would have handed us the key,

Speaker 1 but there is no key to this engine. Okay.
The country's engine only works with principles. It decays, it enslaves,

Speaker 1 it destroys without those principles. We're either guardians of that document or we're not.

Speaker 1 And if the Constitution cannot restrain your favorite leader, it can't restrain the worst one.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Keying the cars, the sides of cars? No.

Speaker 1 Would I be fine with their side keying cars? No.

Speaker 1 You might win today, but you don't want to give your enemies weapons that will destroy you tomorrow.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Wanting a third term to fix the system is like setting your own house on fire because you saw rats in the walls.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 If the answer is no, I wouldn't want them to do that to me, then it's not right.

Speaker 1 That's it.

Speaker 1 Life is not that complicated. Back in just a second, let me tell you about Lear Capital.

Speaker 1 When a storm comes along, you're always going to be glad if your house is built on a solid foundation, something that can withstand the wind and the rain and the chaos. How about your financial house?

10 seconds. Station ID.

Speaker 1 How much time do we have here, Sarah?

Speaker 1 I want to get into your calorie counting

Speaker 1 of Tesla's burning.

Speaker 4 Yeah, when you go to the side of

Speaker 4 whatever you're eating, they have that nice little breakdown of all the nutritional facts. That's kind of what I would decided to go for.

Speaker 4 And when it comes down to when you burn a Tesla, what does that mean for your beloved environment?

Speaker 1 Now, I'm guessing, by the way you say it, that it's not good for the environment. No,

Speaker 4 I would tend to agree with that analysis. One kind of,

Speaker 4 this isn't part of this particular analysis, but just to add on to give you a taste, each Tesla fire that breaks out can use as much as 36,000 gallons of water

Speaker 4 to put away.

Speaker 4 This happened. There was one in, I think it was Alabama back in 2023.
It was a fire. You know, these are specialized batteries.
There's a lot going on in a Tesla. You don't want them to catch fire if

Speaker 4 you can help it. And it took 36,000 gallons just to put out the fire.

Speaker 1 You know, I have a ranch and it's all solar. And we were talking about, some experts came out and said, you need lithium batteries.
You got to put lithium batteries here.

Speaker 1 And I said, I live in the middle of a forest.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 you just build a giant concrete crypt. Oh.
And you put them in there. And I'm like, oh, it's just that easy.

Speaker 4 Just like Chernobyl.

Speaker 1 It was just that easy. It's 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.

Speaker 4 Again, if you don't set them on fire, Tesla seem 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

Speaker 4 spontaneously combusting, but that seems to have gone away. That's gone away.
That's good. It's a positive development.

Speaker 1 It is a positive.

Speaker 4 So try not to do it.

Speaker 1 Try not to do it on your own.

Speaker 4 I would say. Stay away from lighting them on fire.
All right.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It's good for the environment.

Speaker 1 More in just a second.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 one of the reasons why I like to be prepared is because I really don't like surprises and I don't like,

Speaker 1 you know, you get so upset and so wigged out if something is thrown your way and you didn't see it coming.

Speaker 1 The people who do the best in emergency situations without fail are the ones that can remain calm.

Speaker 1 They're the people who, you know, remain calm and they're most likely to be the ones that make it through it and they're most likely to be the ones that were prepared for any bad thing to happen in the first place.

Speaker 1 You're that prepared person.

Speaker 1 So whether you're stocking up short-term emergency food or looking for long-term survival food, My Patriot Supply is the place you want to go if you're that prepared person. From their

Speaker 1 Really, really good calorie-dense long-term storage food to their new Grid Doctor 3300 solar generator and a whole lot more. My Patriot Supply is right there by your side through thick and thin.

Speaker 1 There is something very, very important going on. We want to make sure we address it properly.

Speaker 1 Corey Booker is on the floor of the Senate,

Speaker 1 and he's

Speaker 1 filibustering.

Speaker 1 And 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.

Speaker 1 Smith goes to Washington. Yeah.
It's like Mr. Smith goes nowhere.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 so can we just, because it's important that we hear, yeah, just give me just a little bit.

Speaker 1 Oh. Oh, really? Oh, that's too bad.
We don't have it.

Speaker 4 Oh, gosh, that's a real disappointment.

Speaker 1 I thought it was right there on the back screen there. I see it, Sarah.
I mean, he looks like he's. There it is.
Just give me a little bit of it.

Speaker 1 You have it? No, apparently not.

Speaker 4 We did not have it. I will say it doesn't look a lot like Corey Booker.
He's lightened his tone a bit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he looks more like Senator Chris Van Holland.

Speaker 4 He does does look almost exactly like Senator Chris Van Holland from Maryland.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Maybe Mr.
Smith had to go to a potty. I don't know.

Speaker 4 Maybe he had to go. Yeah, that's true.
Yeah. Mr.
Smith had potty breaks.

Speaker 1 He did. He did.
Well, no. No, he didn't.
No, he didn't. No, he didn't.

Speaker 4 That's what a filibuster was really, a filibuster. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You have to keep talking. Yeah, keep talking.
Yeah, keep talking.

Speaker 1 They do important work at.

Speaker 1 Wow, that's great. Okay, I think we got it.

Speaker 4 That was more than I needed, but it was important to check in.

Speaker 1 We got it. Okay, so I'm waiting for the nutritional value of burning Teslas.

Speaker 1 For those who believe that

Speaker 1 global warming is an existential threat, the

Speaker 1 greatest that we are. Existential threat.
We only have five years

Speaker 1 to stop producing pretty much all of our

Speaker 1 carbon emissions.

Speaker 1 But it's just like all of it.

Speaker 4 Okay. We're at a tipping point almost here.

Speaker 1 Well, we're at a tipping point. We can't go back.
And the last thing you want to do, when you're on on a tipping point, you just don't even want to, you just don't even want to breathe.

Speaker 1 Don't want a breath to come in just because you can fall right over the tipping point.

Speaker 4 You don't want that. You don't want that.

Speaker 1 Now, speaking of that,

Speaker 1 what kind of positive things does burning Teslas do?

Speaker 4 Well, let's think about the options here. What do you have to do? You could drive a gas vehicle like we have forever.
Yes. We know that's bad.

Speaker 1 That would be bad. That would be bad.

Speaker 4 Now,

Speaker 4 let me go through the numbers on driving a gas-powered vehicle, manufacturing nine metric tons of CO2 equivalent. Wow.

Speaker 1 Wow, that's bad.

Speaker 4 The operation.

Speaker 1 That's why I don't have it. Well, I still have a gas guzzling car, but I have a bigger one.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you increase it. Your numbers would be higher.

Speaker 1 I will say. Knowing Galenip's car collection would definitely be

Speaker 1 a tad

Speaker 4 at these numbers.

Speaker 1 You know, 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.

Speaker 4 Two full miles.

Speaker 1 Two full miles. Don't go down the hill.
Downhill. Yes.

Speaker 1 Of course.

Speaker 1 It's not on.

Speaker 4 Okay, so 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.

Speaker 4 You got two more metric tons, total of 42 tons of CO2 equivalent.

Speaker 1 42 tons.

Speaker 4 Now that is,

Speaker 4 as we know, the thing that's going to kill all of us. Yeah, that's that.

Speaker 1 That's the, that's, that's, that's Bigfoot.

Speaker 1 It's the risk. It's the Bigfoot that's coming in with a Bigfoot, a carbon foot, and just stuffing it down your throat.

Speaker 1 We're all going to die.

Speaker 4 We're all going to die. That's how bad that is.

Speaker 1 That's why we have electric cars. That's why we have electric cars.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Let me take the alternate scenario.

Speaker 1 Okay, now hang on just a second. Give me the number again so I just have it written down because I just want to

Speaker 1 do the math here.

Speaker 4 Sure.

Speaker 4 42.08.

Speaker 1 42.08

Speaker 1 metric tons.

Speaker 4 Okay, got it. Okay, that is for operating a gas-powered vehicle.
I hate those things.

Speaker 1 Then

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 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,

Speaker 4 then someone comes and lights it on fire and destroys it.

Speaker 1 Then you, what do you have to do?

Speaker 4 You got to still get around, right? So you replace it with another Cybertruck. How does that look for the environment? So you're manufacturing a Cybertruck, 22.5 metric tons of CO2 equivalent.

Speaker 1 22. 22.

Speaker 4 Then the fire impact, just setting it on fire by itself just that day. Just that day.
Another five metric tons.

Speaker 1 Five metric tons. Yes.

Speaker 4 Now, again, total.

Speaker 1 Almost a quarter of making it.

Speaker 4 Almost a quarter of making it. And half, more than half of making a gas-powered vehicle.

Speaker 1 Ha, okay. More than half.
Okay.

Speaker 4 Okay. All right.
Five metric tons for the fire itself, all the things that go into the.

Speaker 1 Now, did you figure out how much the big, huge fire truck that's just burning diesel fuel like crazy?

Speaker 4 I think that's, I mean, I guess technically that's, I don't know if that's included or not in this analysis.

Speaker 1 Maybe not in Alaska and Hawaii.

Speaker 4 Right, not in Alaska and Hawaii. Next, you got to replace it with another cyber truck.
So that's got to be manufactured, another 22.5 metric tons of CO2.

Speaker 4 Then you're going to operate that cyber truck for the life of the vehicle while you have it, 12.17 metric tons of CO2.

Speaker 4 And then the end-of-life replacement, as it kind of degrades, you have another two metric tons. Total emissions, 64.17

Speaker 4 metric tons of CO2 equivalent.

Speaker 1 Now that seems,

Speaker 1 it seems, it seems, I'm not a mathematician. No.
Okay.

Speaker 1 But I am a thinker. You are.
And it seems like 64.17

Speaker 1 is a bigger number than 42.08.

Speaker 4 Glenn, very, very big.

Speaker 1 I didn't go to school for it, but, you know, hey, I know smart people.

Speaker 4 You might recognize it as about a 50% increase in emissions.

Speaker 4 So that's kind of, you'd think a really bad thing. Bad thing to do.
Really bad thing.

Speaker 1 Especially if we're on the edge.

Speaker 4 However,

Speaker 4 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 cyber truck.

Speaker 4 Someone comes, lights it on fire as your family looks in horror. Hopefully not on the inside of it.

Speaker 1 Well, it's probably lit on fire.

Speaker 4 Yeah, well,

Speaker 4 you certainly

Speaker 1 voted differently. Right.

Speaker 4 Yeah. You may be like, you know what I want to do with my next vehicle? Not get another cyber Cybertruck.
I might want to instead just get a gas-powered vehicle next time. Right.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 The replacement gas vehicle operation of 31 tons. The replacement gas vehicle end of life at two metric tons, a total of 69.58

Speaker 1 metric tons. That's still bigger than 46.
Yeah, 42.8. It is.

Speaker 4 Zero.

Speaker 1 It is. Seven.
That's weird.

Speaker 4 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,

Speaker 4 it's about 40,

Speaker 4 let's see, cyber truck and a gas-powered vehicle really about equal. I mean, it's actually the cyber truck.
If you drive it for a long, lot longer, you can get to the positive side on the cyber truck.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 1 And then you set it on fire and get it. So how's it going to be worse? It's got that free electricity.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 1 Oh, but it doesn't count.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 4 See, you got me on that point. Again, critical thinking.

Speaker 1 Thank you.

Speaker 4 I was just blurting out these numbers, and you critically thought of my numbers and then just. And where are the batteries made?

Speaker 1 Are the batteries made here?

Speaker 4 Are the batteries made in china i don't know it's a good question i would say probably well no knowing the tariff situation i i think the tariffs would hit batteries wouldn't they yeah i think so i know uh tesla actually did write a letter kind of saying hey like can we not have tariffs tariffs on our cars maybe um they did attempt that i don't know if there's a built in china though i know they have a huge

Speaker 1 manufacturing here in texas yeah right and in other parts in 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.

Speaker 1 I trust them with batteries.

Speaker 1 You know, batteries and rivers, I bet China does well.

Speaker 4 And viruses. And viruses.
I'm big on the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 4 I was looking because they did put, Mrs. Biden, by the way, put 100% tariffs on Chinese manufactured electric vehicles.
Because,

Speaker 1 again,

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 Everyone knows he's been for tariffs since.

Speaker 1 His word was tariff. Yes.

Speaker 1 Mommy. Mommy.

Speaker 4 So we know that from him.

Speaker 4 Is it a defensible thing from Joe Biden to do? Because

Speaker 4 you're telling me the greatest existential threat is not China, but it is global warming.

Speaker 4 And then China 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?

Speaker 1 Why would you not? How do you know what electric vehicles China is?

Speaker 4 Well, there's one that's pretty cool. What is it? It's a lotus.

Speaker 1 That's English.

Speaker 4 It is English. Manufactured in China, this one particularly.

Speaker 1 England, too.

Speaker 4 So these people, I mean, let me, let me, Glenn, do we have sad puppy dog music? Yeah. Do we have some sad music?

Speaker 1 Is this going to be, are people going to cry because maybe

Speaker 4 you know

Speaker 1 that don't have a lotus?

Speaker 4 There are lotus, there are lotus owners or people who want to buy lotuses or lotus eyes.

Speaker 1 Lotis. Lotis.

Speaker 4 They want to get the brand new Lotus Eletra,

Speaker 1 which is available in theory right now, but can't be imported to the United States because of these 100% tariffs.

Speaker 4 And we're talking about a car that should be like $120,000, but instead is looking at $229,000.

Speaker 1 Sounds specific. Doesn't it sound a little like he's been looking into this?

Speaker 4 I mean, you know, I'm just saying it's a pretty cool looking car.

Speaker 1 I was at a friend's place on Saturday, and I was just stopping by and seeing he has an exotic car, you know, place. And I just love going to look at his cars.

Speaker 1 And I I went in, and there was a lotus, and I knew Stu was looking at a lotus, and I didn't. I mean, I just think they're cool.
I just never seen one. And

Speaker 1 I just, I saw one, and I'm like, oh, he's looking for one. 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.

Speaker 1 Right. She's not going to say yes to this, but you were looking at an SUV?

Speaker 4 Yeah, they just

Speaker 4 released like that SUV type of thing called the Electra.

Speaker 1 I talked 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.

Speaker 4 Yes, the carbon.

Speaker 1 It's the carbon.

Speaker 4 Again, I don't know much about this.

Speaker 1 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 them.

Speaker 4 Thank you.

Speaker 4 I mean, you could do something about that.

Speaker 1 No, I couldn't. I couldn't.
I'd like to, but then you'd be in bed giving money to China. You know,

Speaker 1 what would I be thinking? No, no. Not going to do it.
He said you're just not going to get one.

Speaker 4 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 right now.

Speaker 1 And I actually like the tariffs on China.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I think there's a much clearer argument for it, right? I mean, like, you know, when you're talking about,

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 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?

Speaker 4 Or it could be we have a foe in China. We do not want want to help them in any way.
And I think that's incredibly defensible.

Speaker 1 So what happens tomorrow at 4 o'clock? Because 4 o'clock tomorrow is when he's saying tariffs are coming.

Speaker 4 And they're saying he didn't do it today because of April Fool's Day.

Speaker 1 Okay, hang on. That's actually the reason.
That's actually smart.

Speaker 1 The guy just, he thinks of everything, doesn't he?

Speaker 1 All right. Hang on.
We'll come right back and we'll talk about what happens tomorrow at 4 o'clock. Simply Safe.
I want to read what a police officer recently wrote into Simply Safe.

Speaker 1 you know the left's got a road map

Speaker 1 straight off a cliff

Speaker 1 let's take the right trail

Speaker 1 glenn beck returns shortly

Speaker 1 Tomorrow, Donald Trump is calling this Liberation Day.

Speaker 1 It's going to be a hard one to sell if all these things come through and you don't have other countries starting to back up.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 he is going to lay out the tariffs. The specifics on the tariffs are uncertain still.

Speaker 1 He may adopt tomorrow an even more aggressive approach than previously anticipated.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He is expected to implement a 25% tariff on all imported automobiles,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I mean, you know, have you even thought of parts? I mean, you have a Honda. Where is that part? Is that part from overseas or is that part made here? Or a Chevy.

Speaker 4 Yeah, Chevy. Same thing.

Speaker 4 Even if you have an American car, lots of these parts are made in other countries.

Speaker 1 And this is just going to get harder and harder. I mean,

Speaker 1 if there's a tariff on any of these cars that you might have, parts are going to get very expensive.

Speaker 4 A couple of interesting things about the timing of this. One is

Speaker 4 they, 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

Speaker 4 the reported reason why they moved it to April 2nd. The other thing is you mentioned 4 p.m.
Eastern. Of course, that's when markets close.

Speaker 4 So they're not going to put them on until after the markets are

Speaker 4 done for the day. So they can't react in real time to it.
That's smart. Hopefully they have a little bit of time to kind of think it over.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's interesting that he does that at 4 o'clock, so the markets are closed. That shows you

Speaker 1 probably

Speaker 1 not going to be small tariffs.

Speaker 4 I mean, and if you thought the markets were going to skyrocket because of them, it wouldn't be a consideration to do it at 4 p.m. So

Speaker 4 it could be a tough couple days.

Speaker 1 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.
