No, no, no. Actually, it's been a very good week.
I'll explain why here in just a second and remind you first, it's Friday. Now, let me tell you about Lear Capital.
You ever had those moments where you think back and wonder, see, what would I have done differently if I would have known what I know now 10 years ago years ago be some huge thing maybe a bunch of small decisions that would have moved your life in a different direction sometimes i think the opportunity that i had uh and stu and i both had to buy uh bitcoin when it was like 10 cents and didn't pull the trigger on it yeah that's probably you know that's uh that's probably something. I'd probably own the moon by now if I would have done the right thing.
But sometimes I look back and go, wish I would have. Now you have the opportunity to think back and go, I'm glad I did.
Right now, if you look, stock futures volatile after sell-off. China is raising tariffs.
This is just, I'm reading the screens on TV right now. Goods, tariff on goods from China at 125% starting April 12th.

Hello, Stu. Glenn.
Yeah. You said something about this being a good week.
A good week. Walk me through that.
All right. You ready? Mm-hmm.
Okay. The war on water pressure is over.
This week. It's over.
I love that. Yeah, see? I love that.
Yeah. I'm a huge fan.
Now, of course, my war was won with a terrorist attack by my handyman many years ago. Did that happen to you, too? It did.
It happened right around the time I lost my guns in the lake. Oh, you're kidding.
No. Yes.
And I thought it was so weird because they were both about water. It's weird.
Oh, yeah. I also won the water heater battle at that same time.
Wait a minute. I don't know about the water heater battle.
The water heaters are limited to get certain amounts of hot. But if you have a terrorist attack on your water heater, sometimes those limits come off.
It's terrible. Yeah, it is awful.
It's awful. Those are Oklahoman terrorists.
They come in like, I'm going to mess with his water heater. So we had that going on.
That's really, really good. And then Donald Trump has succeeded again, making the world a much, much better place by getting released the unjustly imprisoned hot ballerina from the U.S.
She was imprisoned over in Russia for treason. We're not sure.
We are.
Well, we're pretty sure she's the hottest American ever negotiated for a prisoner swap.
There she is.
Is that true?
Yeah, there she is here.
See right there.
That's yep.
She's pretty hot.
She's pretty hot.
It doesn't seem like the we've in the past really targeted attractiveness level as to
who we are negotiating for.
Donald Trump is president. That's true.
He's like, all right, who's hot? Who's in trouble? Who can we repatriate? So we got that going. Oh, and here's some more good news.
Doge says that they are saving now next year, what is it, $150 billion in 2026. Now, that's not my favorite, but it's still $150 billion, and every penny counts at this.
Every billion counts at this point. Remember when $150 billion used to be real money? Yeah.
Yeah, I i mean i remember one of the first big bills when you were on i want to say it was in the fox era or no actually uh yeah it was fox era was it was uh the obama stimulus it was 787 billion dollars yeah so now we're at like that was like the biggest thing in the world it was every conversation for six months people who lived at that time and were aware of things at that time, they can tell you
the price of that, $787 billion, because it was such a stunning amount of money.
Yes.
And it was specifically designed to remain under $1 trillion because they thought that
was unbearable for anyone to think about.
Right.
Now, every other bill we pass is over $1 trillion.
And you're like, $787 billion, billion not good enough we don't even now we don't even wake up to do this show if it's less than a trillion dollars that we're talking about i mean who's talking about it uh then you have uh something else uh that doge has come out and said millions of our dollars in unemployment claims have gone to fake people who haven't even been born yet. Now, do we know that they're fake people or just people that haven't been born yet? Well, we don't know.
Because, I mean, really, technically, if you haven't been born, how do you know if you're fake or not? You don't. Only time travelers know.
That's true. of those too uh so there is labor secretary uh laurie chavez de reamer uh presented the findings to president trump thursday afternoon's cabinet meeting say that we're working with our inspector general to return these dollars to the treasury that would be nice doge doge claimed an initial review found that since 2020 2020 9, 9,700 people whose birthdates aren't for another 15 years have claimed $69 million in benefits.
Again, like that, there could be, right, an explanation for that.
Some accounting error, some actuarial error where the wrong date is in there and this person
is actually supposed to get these benefits but like how is that not caught immediately how is that how is it possible that could go on and a person with that birth date could continue to get paid well i mean it was it was hard to catch this birth date uh this this one birth they claim $41,000 in unemployment insurance.
They were born in 2154.
2154. 2154.
That seems difficult. It does.
I will say, no wonder no one would hire them. Exactly right.
Never shows up for work. Never shows up.
They're never born yet. 28,000 people between one and five years old claim 254 million dollars in benefits again they are unemployed right i mean that two-year-old does not have a job right no this is discrimination no one will hire two-year-olds that's right except in hollywood 25 oh that's that's wrong You're right.
It's a little. True.
Yeah. True.
Yeah. 24.5 thousand people over 115 years claimed $59 million in benefits.
So. And again, they don't have a job.
I mean, have you ever seen anybody that's 115 years old, you know, as a Walmart greeter? No, no. They usually they they time out like like 104, 105.
Yeah, right. OK, so they're they're saying now that about between 135 and 400 billion dollars has been stolen since covid.
Now, I just want you to remember that.
$400 billion.
You know all the cuts to USAID and everything else?
Musk has come out and said,
we've saved next year $150 billion.
They're saying up to $400 billion
in just unemployment fraud since COVID. I don't know.
I don't know. By the way, the acting labor secretary under Joe Biden, she was from California.
And it was estimated when she was in California in charge of the unemployment system there, she paid $30 to $40 billion in fraudulent payments. But that was only $30 or $40 billion in one state.
I mean, you know, of course she's not going to do that as the labor secretary. That just happened in California, not countrywide.
Of course we promote her. Wow, doesn't that speak volumes of everything that's going on? Let's see.
Anderson Cooper. Why do you laugh? I just love this story.
I love it. And again, I side with Anderson, I think, here.
Did he ever comment on it? Has he addressed it? No. Tell people what it is if they haven't seen it.
Okay, so Anderson Cooper sitting with Bernie Sanders, and he's like, we got somebody in the audience has a question. You got a question? Let me introduce Grace Thomas.
She's a local civil rights attorney and she's a democrat okay so she stands up and she's a democrat and she stands up and she looks at anderson cooper and she said it's they them pronouns actually and the face and i i think it's because bernie sand Sanders is a thousand years old and can't hear anything.
Yeah.
But he makes a face that is exactly how I feel when people say like, no, actually say them pronouns.
He's just like this perplexed.
He leans in.
He's like, what?
Like, it's so good.
And it's not what he's reacting to at all.
Yeah.
But it's so satisfying.
So she says, yeah, I've got a question.
Do we have it? Here it is. Yeah, watch Bernie's face here.
Is it running? I'm not hearing anything. Some audio issues.
Okay, some audio issues. Are we getting it? No.
So anyway, so she goes on and she says, i mean i'm a democrat and uh and i'm a they them and men of all racial democratics the demographics are turning away from the democratic party and i want to know what you're doing about it well um trying not to listen to you would be the main thing you should do about it exactly right exactly right she's standing up what bernie sanders should have said is well you people like you yeah men are in in every race color creed age group they are tired of being lectured to about their pronouns and everything else and when you say they are tired of i mean thatured to people, one person, that one person, that's the thing with they, them pronouns, right? They and them indicate a group of people. So you can't have they, them pronouns.
You can't have them. I don't care what you say.
Since the bigotry, this is continuing here. There is, there are some words that refer to multiple people, some words that refer to one.
He or she would refer to one. They or them refers to multiple people.
So you can't have them. No.
Okay, well, if that's what Stu's believing. It's not even a gender argument.
I know. Right? It is an English language argument.
If you want to say you're a man when you're really a woman, that is wrong on the gender basis. But at least you're saying you're one person.
Saying you're multiple people is not okay. I know I'm going to take a tough stand there.
Well, I want to give you one other story here that's kind of in the same vein here. The chair of the University of California, Berkeley, for their academic Senate, Amani Nurujiter, issued a dire warning about academic freedom.
She said, recent actions by the federal government and Donald Trump are chilling open inquiry and undermining self-governance at American universities. This has got to stop.
Okay, so she's saying that because Donald Trump is saying, we're not going to, if you're going to let radicals on your campus that are anti-American and anti-Semitic, we're not going to give you any federal dollars. She's saying because of that, it is chilling open inquiry.
So what is open inquiry? You mean honest questioning? Now, the problem here is that Nuru Jeter, she was the executive associate dean of Berkeley School of Public Health, and she's warning about the fate of higher education.
She also was the one that put new requirements into the school, anti-racism requirements.
The requirements included that at least 10 percent of course readings focus on or be authored by people from black indigenous and other people of color um a third of all guest speakers be bipoc professors also needed to update their syllabi with anti-racism statements that uh she personally would help draft so in other words she and she made you sign a. If you were a professor, she made you sign a contract that you were going to do that.
Oh, good. Yeah, right.
Lock them in. Right, and that was just, it wasn't really a contract.
It was more of a pledge to disrupt harmful power dynamics. Thank you.
And you had to pledge that you would remove students from class if they use language that could alienate others. Oh, my.
And you're worried about what Donald Trump is doing. You're using language that alienates, I don't know, Jews by saying we should kill the Jews.
It does alienate them. It does.
It tends to. Right.
But so instead of, you know, living with your own little doctrine here, we don't want to alienate anybody. You're now saying it's an end of freedom of speech.
If you can't say death to all Jews, this is a threat to the free speech, the whole democracy movement. Unbelievable.
Now, I don't have a word on what they them commented about on this article anderson cooper is still trying to get that interview uh let me tell you about relief factor let's talk about pain for a minute here you are citizen of the united states of america inheritor of the rights your creator endowed you with and yet this stupid nameless thing comes along and wrecks any pursuit of happiness you might undertake it's almost almost as bad as a government. And that is saying a lot.
And when I'm talking about what took it, it's pain day after day, year after year. You get to a point where you're like, okay, this is this way it's going to be my life.
And it's not, it's not. I got my freedom back.
I got my, I got my pain under control. A lot of times it's just completely gone.
And I was very skeptical at first. You know, I didn't think it was going to work because, you know, some boob on the radio was talking about it, saying it was all natural and a supplement.
Right, dude. Like, I'm going to listen to that guy on the radio.
Sometimes in life, you do marry a woman who really doesn't take no for an answer, and she threatens that if you don't agree to give her a recommendation to try,
you know, there'll be consequences.
And thank goodness she's always right.
I got my life back.

10 seconds, station ID.
Oh my goodness.
Stu, what do you have planned this weekend?
That's a good question.
A lot of baseball.
That is mainly all of my weekends. just run your life that is what they do they tend to do that yes throughout it's weird now that my kids i mean cheyenne's practically gone she's you know she's uh leaving uh what Sunday to film a movie.
First movie she's been in.
Pretty cool.
Really cool. She's leaving Sunday to film a movie, first movie she's been in.
Pretty cool.
Really cool.
She's been rehearsing all week.
She's playing a, I think it's maybe a country star.
I'm not sure.
She's playing a singer.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
It's a Christmas movie.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, it's really neat.
Do we know, are we going to be able to see this? Yeah, it'll be coming out, I think, next Christmas. Wow.
Do we know? In theaters. In theaters? In theaters.
Wow. I can't wait.
This is great. I know.
I know. Great news.
So, anyway. So, she's practically gone.
And luckily, we're releasing her to an ecosystem. And there's never any problems.
You know? You've throwing her right into the entertainment industry. What could possibly go wrong? And it's not in Hollywood, I'll tell you that.
That's good. That's good.
Man, I dodged a bullet with Broadway. She wanted to go on Broadway.
Dad, I want to live in New York. I want to live in New York.
And I said, hey, honey, you don't ever watch the news, do you? And she's like, no. And I'm like, sad, bad, bad things.
New York was vaporized by the former Soviet Union, and we are all weeping about it. So can't go there for another 4,000 years.
So she dodged a bullet on that one. And then she got a call recently in a movie, and I'm like, wait, wait, she was offered a movie.
Wait, what, what, what? And thank goodness it was not a Hollywood movie. And they're just good people, good Christian people.
And so I'm excited about that. That's great.
But I actually was thinking about this relatively recently because my kids are getting into that age now where, you know, they're getting the independents. There's more of that.
They no longer want to be a fireman or a police officer. No, actually, that's true.
You get past that. I mean, my kids are 12 and 13.
But I was thinking about it. It's like, gosh, my son is now two or three years away from driving.
I know. I mean, he's almost 14.
It goes by so fast. Thank God.
I mean. Wait, wow.
What? No, just the teenage years. They seem to last forever, but they do end.
They do end. They do end.
But it leaves you at the point you're at now. Tanya and I are walking around the house going, what do we do? What do we do now? We went for a walk the other day and she was like, well, this is our life.
And I'm like, wow. Did she say the...
Well, this is... That's the way I heard it.
Let me ask you this. Was it well or whelp? I think that's a huge distinction in this conversation.
Was it whelp? This is our life. As if that's it, you're in some serious trouble.
I think it might have been with a P. I think it might have been with a P.
That's what I suspected. Yeah, but, you know, your kids move out, and then, you know, you're kind of just like, okay, I've got to start my life all over again now.
What do I do? I don't know. I've really been thinking about that, and I think I need to get ahead of this, right? I need to start planning what's going on.
Marriages fall apart in the empty nest if both people haven't planned ahead, haven't gone, okay, well, this is what I'm going to do. Yeah.
I'm going to, this is my hobby or my next phase of life, whatever it is. If you don't do that, and you've made, and yet really, in today's world, you kind of have to make your kids your entire life.
But if you've lost yourself in that, it's not good. Yeah.
I think you got to work hard to maintain, not just kids throughout the kid period. And then you need to plan for what comes after that, because I think it would be easy to get stuck in, gosh, there's nothing to do.
On a completely unrelated story, did you see the story out today?
The 70-year-old woman accused of trading a foster child for a monkey? No, I missed that. Was that the plan? That is a plan for an empty nest.
You get a free monkey. What am I going to do? What am I going to do? Lord, how long must your people suffer? They're hungry.
They're cold. Often they feel as though they're alone in the world.
In Israel, in the shadow of war, they huddle in bomb shelters, clutching their children, praying that next time that rocket misses them yet again.
Many of them are wondering where their next meal is going to come from or even if there's going to be a next meal.
You can hear the voice of Israel crying out to God, and they have seen miracle after miracle. And I don't want to get involved in their wars.
I don't want to fight their wars. I just think they have a right to have their own place to where they can defend themselves.
You know, you are a part of the answer to their prayer. Every time you donate to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, you are reaching out as an emissary of the Christian faith to your spiritual brothers and sisters, showing them your love and God's love.
They're delivering food and emergency supplies to the places that need it desperately, and you can be a part of that. When it comes to the nation of Israel, every generation has a moment, the chance to stand with them right now.
That's your moment. Give a gift to bless Israel and her people by visiting supportifcj.org.

welcome to the program mr pat gray from pat gray unleashed uh yesterday uh pat donald trump uh negotiated for the release of a ballerina who was betrayed was called a traitor and was going to be in prison forever and he got her released and she says she's not a traitor. She didn't do anything.
She would never betray. All she did was donate $51 to a Ukrainian charity to feed people and they called her a traitor for that.
Because they went through a phone and found it. Did it feed people? Ukrainians? Russia has a very long history of not feeding Ukrainians.
That's true. It's been their lead policy for about 100 years.
Every time they go to war, they're like, let's not feed the Ukrainians. Or sometimes when they're part of their country and it's peacetime.
So, Pat, I just want to show you this picture of the ballerina. Yeah.
Does she look like she could betray her country? No. No, not at all.
No. There's no chance she betrayed anybody.
Nope. Nope.
She doesn't betray her diet plan. Nothing.
No. Nothing.
Speaking of betraying diet plans, I have a bone to pick with you, Pat Gray. Yeah? I have this box.
Wait, before you get to that, hang on. I want to talk to you about somebody else with some boobs, and that is this guy.
Let me see. Right here.
See him? Oh, wow. That's what's his name? Ryan Routh.
Oh, wow. crop top he's a very i don't know but he's he's why he's got why yeah he does man boobs and they're nasty right and so i don't know did you hear about what happened in florida they're they're now finally charging him with first-degree attempted murder for trying to murder the president.
Yes. And apparently, according to Florida, the attorney general for Florida, he said, for 206 days, the federal government stonewalled us.
And I'm finally able to announce that now that donald trump is in they're no longer stonewalling us oh nice right so they can charge him uh and now he's also going to be charged by the doj because you know donald trump is in office he's going to be uh charged for attempted uh assassination on the president of the united states he's going to go to jail for a very long time. I mean, can you think of anything more obvious that you're on the bad side, you're on the wrong side, when a guy who's got a gun pointed at the president and is on record saying, I'm going to kill him, and I don't care if I go to jail for the rest of my life for it.
And you're like going, yeah, it is dismiss him. Is there, are you like, you're in law enforcement, you're at the FBI, you're at the DOJ.
Do you begin to think, you know what, maybe we're on the wrong side. Maybe we're the baddies.
Maybe we're the bad guys here. Maybe we're the bad guys.
Okay, so I was only talking about his man boobs because it's out of fat. And I know that's what you, you know, that's because you're there with a box of cookies.
I am. Keksi Cookies.
K-E-K-S-I dot com. Pat, of course.
This is a lovely box you have. This is a nice Easter box.
Yep. It's with the Easter bunny on it.
Easter bunny. Knows you don't put Christ on't put Christ on the box.
I mean, you're not a Christian. You're not a Christian? I am a Christian.
You're just going with the bunny, though. You decided to go with the bunny.
I didn't make that decision. You were enrooting for Christ.
I was. I begged them.
Put Jesus on the cross. Let's show what's going on here.
Well, that Easter that's the death you would think maybe the empty tomb would have been okay right gosh you I you don't get you don't get christianity at all apparently not no that was not the boat I had to pick okay all right so it's not the bunny it's not very well would you say beautiful box it's a beautiful box you can can you order these still are they still available? It's sold out. Okay.
This is what you do every time. You bring a thing and stuff, and then it's sold out.
And then it says underneath there, turn the box, and eggsquisite bites await. Get it? Eggsquisite.
So what exactly does the egg have to do with Christ? He ate eggs while he was on the earth. Big omelet.
All right. Okay.
I didn't found uh it's in olive it's the gospel of steve yes yeah chef steve chef steve but anyway again it's not the box because i think that's very nice i will say the shoddy workmanship of your product is something i need to call out really yes all Yes. All right.
Because I am going in here right now. This is a...
I don't know what flavor cookie this is. They're all nicely individually wrapped inside.
But forget this. Look at that.
This is... Oh, my gosh.
This is half a cookie. Oh, my gosh.
This is not a whole cookie. This is half a cookie.
You found that in your box right there? In my box right here that I've been waiting to bring home. You sold yourself...
So you ate half of it already? No, I did not eat half of it. It is just, I have not touched it.
I'm with you. I don't even know what, I'm with you.
I think he ate half of it. He had to have because nobody else would have.
Yeah. No.
That's outrageous, Stu. How do you explain this? Because you also have in this box, which is now sold out so we can't promote, a orange chocolate brownie situation? Yes.
Which looks incredible. Oh been dying to try so that right yeah you said you wanted a piece of it you mentioned it like several times yeah you really wanted to try it wow i wanted to try when i open it up look what it looks like oh my gosh oh my gosh it is there's only like a quarter of it not even i would say it's an eighth of this brownie do you have do you have packaged that box right i wonder i'm to look into it.
You have a bunch of really, really... I'm going to say it.
I'm going to be politically incorrect, but honest. You have a bunch of fat people packaging those cookies.
Yes. That might be it.
That might be it. Several of them have gained weight recently.
Do not... Neither of you should look anywhere else but there.
I promise if you go to kexy.com, we'll make sure that your cookies are whole. Really? Yeah, I will.
You could guarantee that? Because I could. Wait a minute.
Could I be? Now, if Glenn is here, you know, when your cookies arrive, I can't vouch for it. I just want to be the inspector.
I'll be inspector 12. I'll be inspector number 12.
Yeah? Yeah, so I'll make sure your cookies are appropriate to be sent. Really? Yes.
And not harmful in any way? Not harmful, not poisoned, just fresh. I'll make sure they're all fresh.
Do you have any recommendations, Pat? Because you have in here, you can freeze the cookies or whatever. You have, like, ways you can enjoy them.
Should you leave the box that you want to consume in a room with Glenn when you're not in the room?
That's what I did.
How am I suddenly getting thrown shade on this thing?
I have nothing to do with your shoddy workmanship.
Wow.
I'm concerned, Pat.
I'm concerned about it.
I am too, Pat.
Yeah. Now you're on my side? I've been about it.
I am too, Pat. Yeah.
I can tell. Now you're on my side?
I've been on your side the whole time. Okay.
Yeah, I mean, jeez. Holy cow.
So, I don't know if you've heard the ruling from the court on President Trump. Now having, this headline just bothers me.
Just bothers me. Trump administration appeals ruling granting Associated Press access to quote, president's most intimate spaces, end quote.
Do you know what? Most intimate? Yeah. Because I don't go to the Oval Office as the most intimate space of the president.
Right. I'm sure he's got other spaces.
He probably does have other. But that is exactly what.
So now AP has to be allowed on Air Force One and in the Oval Office and in his bedroom. All of his intimate spaces under the covers.
So I might I might understand this if it were the Bill Clinton presidency, but it's not. So when he's like truthing from the toilet, they're right in there.
They can be right there. They can be right there.
They must be allowed there. They must be allowed.
Yep. So he said that he doesn't want them in the you know, the White House and, you know, press room and everything else.
Because, I mean, he actually listed, let me see if I have it, the fake report about the explosion that took place October 7th, 2023, outside the hospital in Gaza.
It blamed Israel.
Okay.
The false report claiming the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, called Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Very good friends. Deceptive framing of Vice President J.D.
Vance's speech concerning Georgia schools, the Georgia school shooting. The false election claim about Project 2025 being the Republican blueprint for a second Trump term in the White House.
False report that Russia fired a missile into Poland. And, of course, what really broke the camel's back here was not calling it the Gulf of America.
Right. And he's right about that.
I mean, it is officially called the Gulf of America. He can do that.
You might think think it's dumb but he can do it you nobody said anything about you know uh mount denali right right nobody said anything about that i mean we kept calling it mount mckinley right yeah but we weren't we were not a you know we do what we want to do you know exactly right i'm not asking you to get into the president's most intimate spaces. Right.
I think he's been allowed in his bathroom
while he's tweeting
or truiting no no no or barack obama's no no so that's what's one of the usually because big mike
is there and i'm afraid of him um it's fascinating to see that because she uh the the argument from
the left is and seemingly the court was you can't choose you can't pick and choose right which is a fine standard to have but like it's never been our standard i mean how often did we try to get access to i don't know intimate spaces but spaces anywhere near a democratic president by the dumpster right yeah can we i don't know can we sit outside like while you're throwing away the recyclables no nothing they never gave us anything so if the standard is we're not going to discriminate at all okay but like that means you're letting us in right like i i don't right i i don't understand what the why like there was a the white the press you know what was the group that the white house press corps where they they kind of had an arrangement where they made those decisions correct but like and process wise it had they had to dissolve that for the president to be able to make those decisions right but they did that they went through that process so and i love that so they can make those decisions well they can make those decisions what they're saying is they don't have to guarantee a question they don't have to guarantee a seat but they can't ban them right which is kind of like i think that's fair yeah i think that's fair i mean you know that's that's what's happened to us you know at the blaze you know under every administration it's been like
except this one uh it's been like yeah no you're not coming in you're not coming in well that's wrong um and now if you want to say ah you know what we have you on the list it's just not your turn yet okay we all know the game that's being played but that's the way they play play the game. Yes.
So the president doesn't have to take a question from them. He doesn't have to have them there.
He just can't ban them from those spaces. I think that's fine.
So does that mean every single person that claims to be a journalist must be allowed? What's the standard here? Yeah, what is that standard? I mean, look, the AP obviously has been around for a long time they do hit i'm sure some standards that many other journalists don't but but there's going to be a lot of citizen journalists now yeah that insist on being included aren't there i mean i would if i was in that position yeah the government said to the ap that they are on an equal playing field as other situated outlets that are similar to them. Despite the AP use of disfavored terminology, a judge said the court does not order the government to grant the AP permanent access to the Oval Office, the East Room, or any other media event.
It does not bestow special treatment upon the Associ press now trump is appealing this i i don't think it's actually that bad no all right no so they have to come in i don't have to i don't have to take a single question from you he just doesn't want to even look at them which is i don't blame him and you know what's amazing is these people are so arrogant, so unbelievably arrogant. Do you remember the pressure that came on me when we were at Fox? And who was it that was the White House correspondent at the time? And I said something good about him.
Was it Jake Tapper? No. No, he was.
No. No.
Remember, we had a White House press conference, press correspondent at Fox News. And at one point, Garrett, was it maybe it was? Yeah, Major Garrett.
And at one point, he just asked all the right questions. And I had a picture of him framed and I put it on my desk and I'm like, Major Garrett, I think I have a thing for you right now.
And I got my head handed to me. That's going to get him.
They're never going to ask a question of him ever again. Don't you ever say anything about our White House correspondents ever again.
You're going to get a shutout. Plus it creeped out Major Garrett.
Well, you were asking to get into all of his intimate spaces, which I thought was weird. What's the problem with that?
He's there.
One of the most powerful moments on Earth is when a young woman hears her baby's heartbeat for the very first time.
She might be scared.
She might feel completely alone.
But in that instance, something changes in her.
In pre-born clinics all around the nation, they hear about this sort of thing every single day. When a mom sees her baby on the free ultrasound that they've provided, she's twice as likely to choose life for that baby.
That's where you and I come in. Right now, you can sponsor an ultrasound for that young woman who's facing the toughest decision of her life.
$28 is all it takes to introduce a mom to her child, and pre-born doesn't stop there. Once she's chosen life, they'll help her for another two years with financial help and counseling so she can get on her feet and be able to take care of her young child.
So if you stand for life, not just in principle, but also in practice, this is your moment to step up. Please dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.

This is Glenn Beck. Every generation gets told a story.
Some fairy tales some hear lies some if they're blessed hear the actual truth and there's a reason jesus taught people with stories he knew what we forget you know that a story uh you know can do what a lecture never can i mean you, you know. Humans are literally built for stories.
I know.
I didn't want to compare you to Jesus, though.
That made me very uncomfortable.
No, I wasn't.
I wasn't comparing me.
It seemed like you were.
It's just, wow, what a thing to do as we approach Easter.
I'm eating more of your cookies.
It's true, though.
It's just the way people learn, the way people remember things.
It's important.
It can touch you on a very human level.
And that's exactly what happens in the new film, King of Kings Kings from Angel Studios, the same people who brought you Sound of Freedom. It starts with a father tucking his son into bed.
And what kind of begins as a bedtime story turns into an incredible journey through the life of Jesus, seen through the eyes of a child. All the miracles, all the struggles, everything that he faced, you kind of go through it.
And hopefully you and your family and your kids can understand it in a way that maybe they never have before. It's an incredible cast with Pierce Brosnan, Kenneth Branagh, Ben Kingsley, Uma Thurman, Mark Hamill, Forrest Whitaker, and so many more.
It's something amazing for your holiday season. And, you know, the spirit is right, but the movie's fantastic and entertaining as well.

Stu just wouldn't hear of it.
That's not true. You just didn't.
I mean, half your good news was terrible. The shower thing? Well, the shower thing was good.
You could have shower pressure back? Are you kidding me? That's great news. That's incredible.
Does that work like that? Can he do an executive order? Yeah, that's the way. Remember George Bush did the light bulb thing? And that was an executive order? That was an executive order.
It happened over Christmas. We got back and they're like, ah, you know, we're banning all light bulbs.
Wait, what? Wait, what? Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, so now.
I didn't remember it being an executive order. How is that legal? This is one of the things we should, of course, get rid of.
It's all these agencies that just do this. Correct.
And I love that he's unwinding this. I want, he should do more of this stuff.
There's a lot of quality of life issues that have just been destroyed by the left. Amen.
And, you know. Reverse those in big executive orders over and over again.
I just need to clear out all of the left. Amen.
And, you know, reverse those in big executive orders over and over again. You just need to clear out all
of the crap.
I just wish, I wish they'd do a doge

On the wild plains of the modern American world, one majestic creature is fighting to survive. And that creature is the American rancher.
Once found in abundance, this hardworking species is now being pushed to the brink by foreign meat imports, by giant meatpacking corporations that believe in cheap, processed fillers, who think added hormones belong in everything. But there is hope, and that hope is good ranchers.
They are on a mission to bring back American meat, real meat, raised here at home in the heartland. That's why they only source their beef, chicken, pork, and fish from American farmers and ranchers.
They don't deal with the big meat packing plants. They certainly don't import anything from overseas.
The meat they have is American and delicious. Goodranchers.com.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
It's been kind of a tough, scary week.
You know, it started this last Monday.
The stock market, you know, just continues to collapse.
Wednesday, we get a reprieve.
Then Thursday, yesterday, China says,
ah, we're going to up our tariffs.
They did it again today. They're up to up our tariffs.
They did it again today.
They're up to 125% tariffs.
We're already at 145% tariffs.
A lot of scary things going on in the world.
But I want to tell you what it's all about and give you a little bit of hope.
Because there is reason to hope.
But you have to be clear on what is happening.
We'll do that in 60 seconds.
Remember back in the good old days when you were a kid and you knew how to sleep? When you didn't need white noise or blue light filters or supplements, meditation apps, gummies that taste like candy but leave you feeling like, oh, the next day? As a kid, you just lay down, close your eyes. You could be in the back seat of the car.
You could be anywhere. You could be folded up in a way that every adult goes, I wouldn't be able to walk after that sleep.
And then you wake up and you'd be running around again, totally rested. Well, it doesn't feel like that anymore, does it? That's where Z-Factor comes in from Relief Factor.
It can help get that skill back. It's a natural formula.
That means no drugs, no weird hangover effects, just science-backed ingredients that help your body do what it's designed to do in the first place, which is to rest, restore, and reset. When I take it, I wake up the next day feeling rested and refreshed, and you can too.

So it has been a little frightening this week, and you're looking at things, and, you know, Donald Trump might seem callous to some because he'll just say, you know, hey, stop freaking out.
Stop freaking out.
And it's easy to say that as a negotiator.
If you're negotiating in a company and you can say to your staff behind closed doors,
listen, we're going to do some stuff, but I'm negotiating.
Don't freak out.
Anybody freaks out, we're going to lose the negotiation.
Don't forget to. Anybody freaks out, we're going to lose the negotiation.
Don't freak out. He's been trying to do that, but he has to say it on a global stage where everybody is watching him.
So he's trying to say, don't freak out. I got this.
I got this. And it's required us to have faith.
And that's hard to give to a politician, any politician. Especially if you didn't vote for that politician, if you don't like Donald Trump, you're not going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
You're going to think he's destroying the country. And it's really interesting because those who didn't vote for Donald Trump because they thought he would destroy the country most likely voted for the last administration.
And it didn't matter that they were literally on the take from one of our enemies, literally making millions of dollars, taking money to influence decisions from China. It didn't matter that they were lying, they were cheating, that they were literally stealing from you.
Now we know through USAID, through all of these NGOs, they were literally stealing from you, let alone lying to you. Remember when I told you about the Great Reset? Something, you know, ESG, DEI, all these things that we now are very, very well aware of, and we know they are absolutely true, they were implemented by the same people who said they were conspiracy theories.
I mean, that's the one thing I can't get past is the people. How do you get past? How do you hate Donald Trump so much that you can still run to the people who have lied to you over and over again about things that do matter you know when Donald Trump said I had the biggest I had the biggest crowd ever does that matter if he's telling the truth or lying does that matter no we're not we're not we're not trying to undermine capitalism and go to a global government through ESG and DEI and the World Economic Forum.
That lie matters. That one matters.
That one will matter for generations. That one matters to your children and your grandchildren.
But for some reason, some people will just continue to dismiss that. I want to remind you that while we're in this situation with China, first of all, China is the source of COVID.
Did you see this week what they came out with on that Biden covered up something we reported on almost, I mean, within a couple of months of COVID, we said, you know, we've been doing our homework on this, and there was an event with the global army, and all of the armies around the world, they were kind of wargaming and getting together, and our troops were there too, and it was all in Wuhan, and they came home and they were sick. Remember that? And we're like, that might have been the first kind of outbreak of this.
And everyone called us conspiracy. They just released the documents that show that Joe Biden knew that it was true.
And they buried it. So we're dealing with a country like China really, really bad.
You know that and I know that. We are dependent on China now and that can't happen.
Do you remember what COVID was like when everybody was like, oh, you can't get that, can't get that. You can't get surgical masks because they're all made in China.
How many times did we in 2020, 2021, 2022 say, I've never seen this in the United States before. Wait a minute, there's a shortage of what? Okay.
We weren't used to that. Don't forget that.
Don't forget that. Especially when it comes to things like medication and rare earth minerals.
You may not know exactly what rare earth minerals are or your friends might not know, but rare earth minerals are what it's going to control the world. You don't have access to rare earth minerals.
You can't make batteries or chips. Okay? Nothing.
China is buying them up from all over the world
and we have created this country
where we can't even mine our own rare earth minerals
and underneath some of our mountains
we have more rare earth minerals
than every place in the world combined.
But our government has shut that off.
Now why? Let me again remind you what we've just come out of. The Cloward and Piven strategy.
Cloward and Piven were these two university professors back in the 60s. And when I first brought them up back in the early 2000s, everybody was like, that's crazy.
She's just a sweet old lady. She didn't mean any of that stuff.
Yes, she did. Yes, she did.
She was the one at the White House with Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton that did the motor voter law. That was her.
Why? Get people, everybody who's registered for a license, get them registered to vote. the whole thing her whole plan with her husband cloward and piven the whole thing was to collapse america economically overwhelm the system and collapse it economically we're dealing with that reality okay whether it's intentional or not we all know we all know you look back, you look at this world and you see, my gosh, is this a sprawling, chaotic system that we've all been swept up in?
And it has strangely worked in many ways until it doesn't work because of something like covid.
And then it all falls apart. And you look at everything that we're doing, the endless wars, the draining of our spirit and our resources with these endless wars, government spending like there's absolutely no tomorrow, printing money until it feels like monopoly cash, globalism that has left us leaning on our enemies for things as basic as medicine and rare earth minerals.
Elites in our universities and now running our schools that are destroying our children by teaching them to be victims and not teaching them how to empower themselves by learning how to think. Worst of all, the global governments, the World Economic Forum, the WHO, the United Nations, all those things that have said to us for years, no, we're not doing that.
We're not doing that. And now we know they have been doing it.
And with our help from the elites in our own governments. And they have redesigned the world.
They have infiltrated a compliant press that denies the truth. They are continually defying common sense, and they are defying the will of the people openly, openly destroying our nations, destroying our history, our unity, now arresting those who dare stand against them.
Whether it's the guy down the street on the school board or at the school board meeting that's like, hey, you guys are all crooks. What are you doing to my kids? Those who are protesting rape gangs in England, they're off the street.
Actual leaders running for higher office against the machine in France and Romania, they tried to do it here. This is all a house of cards, and it's trembling under its own weight.
And deep down, every single one of us know it. One way or another, we all know it.
Whether you're in denial or not, that's up to you. Even those on the left, the ones who have been loudest about keeping it going all along, the ones who are now protesting and burning Teslas, unless you're a useful idiot, unless you're somebody who's like, yeah, our side's always right.
I'm going to burn down a Tesla factory. You know, unless you're just a useful idiot, you know, this is not about what's right and wrong.
This is about keeping the decline of this nation and the entire West on that path. Because the elites, some of those that are tied to the last president and his circle, push this idea of the Great Reset, which is a managed decline.
They see the cracks just as much as I do. They're trying to control the fall so they can control our future.
They know there's too much money to be lost, so let's get together with all the big banks and the big corporations and finding out more and more our CIA and everybody else, and we'll manage this collapse, keep the people down, keep the people quiet. And then we'll control everything and we'll reset.
That's not, God didn't give you the right to do that. God didn't give the right for anybody to do that to a whole population of people.
So this is what we have been fighting against. And now Donald Trump is standing up and saying, that is so deep and metastasized.
To save it, we have to turn this thing 180. This is the world's largest aircraft carrier ever in the imagination of mankind.
It's like an imperial stormtrooper ship, you know, of an aircraft carrier. Practically half a continent, and you've got to turn that thing around.
So let me talk to you about fear. Just that should scare the hell out of all of you, every single one of us.
It should scare our children and our children's children. It should scare everybody who's in the sound of my voice because you know it's true.
There is trouble, whether it's intended or not, this doesn't work anymore.
And it's because we got off common sense and common values. Now the question is, are you going to fear it or are you going to face it? And that's really what this election, I think, was about, at least for me.
I see one guy who's willing to stand up and say the truth and then actually follow through with action. I don't see politicians follow through with action.
He's actually not afraid of doing it. I'm not afraid of the truth.
You shouldn't be afraid of the truth. The truth will set us all free.
It's scarier to pretend it's not there. Yeah, it's going to be tough.
It's going to be really tough. We've got some hard times ahead of us.
There's no sugarcoating. Nobody should sugarcoat that.
But it's what is the goal at the end? Is it for the elites to control everything or is it to give you power?
Because both of them are risky.
Both of them could end in violent revolution.
Both of them could fail.
But I know which side I want to win.
I want the side that says, hey, these values are worth fighting for and trying to save.
And it might be our World War II. It might be our Great Depression.
It might be our Civil War. But I'd rather take that on than pass it on to my children because I'd rather have my children have the opportunity sooner rather than later to be free.
The system's been running on fumes, and when it finally sputters out, we're going to feel the jolt one way or another. What's been happening this week is dedicated people who know what's going on that says, okay, I don't want the pain, but I'd rather take it on my shoulders now than pass it on to my kids because we might be able to save it now if we're honest about what we're facing.
Let me carry the load. Let me wrestle with the mess that we've made so they don't have to.
Because a controlled fire is good. Forest fires are good, too, in the end, long run.
But a controlled fire is good.
Forest fires are good, too, in the end, long run. But a controlled fire is good.
It gets rid of all of the underbrush, and it actually replenishes the soil so something better can grow. And some controlled burns are going to happen.
We have a chance here, a chance to rebuild, to rethink how we live. We cannot continue to rely on far-off enemies.
We have to start looking closer to home, to our own soil, to our own hands, to our own people. We can make things again, not the things that we made in the past.
We're never going back to those days. Something new and even better is on the horizon.
But we can grow things.
We can stand on our own two feet.
It's time to say you're 25 years old.
You're not a kid.
Adolescence now, adolescence now lasts till you're 25.
In George Washington's time, you were an adult when you were 13.
Are we getting better or weaker? This is not going to be easy. But what's at the end will either be completely bogus or real again.
And somewhere inside of me, I know we're not done yet. World has been through collapse before, empires fall, systems crumble.
But the ones who make it are the ones who dust themselves off. So I'm, for one, willing to take the hit.
I'm willing to grit my teeth because I believe in what's on the other side. And I know you can say it's easier for you to say, Glenn, but I only succeed when you succeed.
I get paid a salary because you have the money to buy things that we advertise. So if you don't succeed, I don't succeed.
I lose everything too. I just want to encourage you to pray on this this weekend and find the strength to at least face the truth and turn the page because it's not just about survival.
It's a new start. All right, let me tell you about Rough Greens.
It's a green powder that you can sprinkle on your dog's food. And not only will the food taste amazing for your dog, but it'll also make him healthier and happier as well.
It's chock full of things like vitamins and minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, stuff that your dog's body desperately needs in order to live a healthy life. I'm going to talk to you a little bit about Uno.
this is tomorrow we're putting Uno down, and it's hard. But let me tell you, I sincerely thank Rough Greens.
You know, I had a friend over at the house yesterday, and he was talking to me about Uno, and he said his dog is in the same place. And he said, Glenn, I started feeding my dog with rough greens on top.
And he's like, I found the same thing. He's old, and he said we're about in the same situation now.
He said, but I know I got years of good life out of him because of rough greens. I do too.

might, Uno ruled our days, our hearts, our night. A German shepherd, noble, strong and true, a friend, a guardian, a soul we knew.
Through the years of laughter, tears, and play, we watched our children grow each day. A steady presence, warm and near His silent love erased our fear We clung to him, his neck, our shore When waves of grief would crash and roar No words, no fixes Just his gaze A quiet balm in stormy.
The door would swing, his joy would leap, a welcome home no clock could keep. Vacations came, we'd roam afar, but Uno held his head steadfast star.
I'll be here, his eyes would say, a promise kept. Until this dark day.
Now still he lies, a king deposed, his mighty frame by time enclosed.
A shift of eyes, a fleeing spark, greets us through the growing dark.
Our friend, our kin, our shield, our pride.
The kids grew up with him beside.
This weekend comes a bitter end, to lose our ever-loyal friend. Oh, Uno, how we'll miss your grace, your soulful eyes, your steadfast face.

Today's podcast, the one that comes out for tomorrow, is available now, right now on The Blaze TV. It's episode 253, Why Trump Must Annihilate Mexico's Cartels Like ISIS.
It's quite an amazing episode. I had Brandon Darby on.
He is the co-founder of Breitbart's Border and Cartel
Chronicles. These guys have been relentless on the border.
Breitbart has been there for, I mean, from the beginning and the Border and Cartel Chronicles are fantastic. You really want to know what's going on in Mexico.
This is it. And to say that Mexico is a failed narco state, I'm not sure
people really understand
what that means. They are so out of control now.
You know, they just found mass graves in just about 40 miles south of our border, 40 miles, they found crematoriums or ovens where they were just, they'd kidnap people, take them, and just burn them. It is completely out of control.
Here he is talking in the podcast, cut three, please. On one of the cartels.
Listen to this. When you asked me to come on the show, my mind, I had already been in a place where I was like, I need to bring attention to Jalisco.
I need to bring attention to this cartel called CJNG. Right.
Cartel Jalisco. The head of that cartel is a guy named El Mencho, okay? Now, they used to be a Sinaloa faction.
They broke off from the Sinaloa cartel. I mean, we could get into, people can watch Narcos if they want to know that story, right? But the bottom line is, this particular cartel is so brutal and so powerful.
They have ties to the current secretary of defense of Mexico. That's a fact.
And they're protected. So when, when the U S government, you know, like him or, or hate him or whatever, when, when Trump first came in his first term, what was that? 2016, 17, but, but when he first came in, his first term what was that 2016 17 but but um when he first came in he had promised in fact it was on a radio show with me at the time i was guest hosting a show and stephen miller that was his name he came on and he promised that they were gonna go to war on cartels Mexican cartels, but they didn't the first term.
And I'm sure there was, there were a lot of complicating factors, right? Like, like Trump 2.0 and Trump 1.0 are not the same at all. And I personally am a fan of 2.0 a lot more.
I like 2.0. Yeah.
But what they did was they kind of went after MS-13, right? And I guess they assumed that, well, people won't know the difference or we're keeping as much of our promise as we can. But Trump 2.0 is really going at it.
But the problem is, is that they're really not going after cartel Jalisco, right? Because they're protected. So they're going after the Sinaloa Cartel, which 10 years ago, no one could have done.
And they're going after the Gulf Cartel and they're going after Los Etos. They're going after a lot of folks, but are they really going after Cartel Jalisco? They're not going after Cartel Jalisco.
Tell me what they do tell me why these guys are so bad well they're just brutal so you you traditionally have had folks like the gulf cartel and los etos who had their leadership taken out remember there were those younger guys who came in so they didn't care as much about tomorrow right they only cared about today which meant the typical things we relied on like our entire counterterrorism strategy on the southwest border again analysts will say this is an oversimplification but i think it's a fair it's a fair oversimplification is we've said well these cartels won't allow a terrorist to come through because they know what that would do to them.
They know that that would shut down their money and their business, their corridors. Well, that you could say that about an old school cartel with an old leadership who doesn't want to kill police, doesn't want to kill U.S.
citizens. They just want to make money and they know how to avoid trouble.
Right. but when it's a bunch of young guys
all doing cocaine and methamphetamine
and they know they to avoid trouble right but when it's a bunch of young guys
all doing cocaine and methamphetamine and they don't care they know they're going to die tomorrow anyways they don't care so he goes into how these guys have changed and um and how the mexican government is in bed. I mean, the cartels have been running with Mexico.
It's clear. How deep does it go is what I asked Brandon.
Mexico has, you know, five years ago, I would have said they had 31 states in the federal district, right? Kind of like their D.C., Mexico City. I think now it's considered a state so it's 32 states right right more than half of that territory is under the control of cartels and literal control like literal control so in the united states if someone is in trouble we might send you know the fbi or the atf to go get them right um in me they can't do that.
In Mexico, they have to send in their elite Marines. They have to send in hundreds of soldiers and armored vehicles to go and get someone if they want them.
And that's even then that it's very rare. Rarely is it successful, right? There usually, the cartels are using drone attacks, you know, it starts to resemble a smaller version of Ukraine and Russia right now.
So it's under their control. So it's very tricky.
I think later on in this discussion, we'll probably get more in detail about, maybe we will, about the problems that the US has in doing things in Mexico. But to make a long story short, years ago, as in a year ago, maybe even up to a year ago, the way that people in the intelligence community and in the law enforcement community in the United States described it to me, is they said, when we have law enforcement or intelligence priorities, the State Department would always say, hey, wait a minute, you need to balance your law enforcement and intelligence priorities with the state department's diplomatic concerns.
And so you got to think about what the U S government does. That's it.
That's it. That's it's horrifying.
That's like Vietnam. So this is what happens is people leave DC.
They go to Mexico for a two year assignment or so, right? They take a sheet of paper and they write out their priorities and they say, okay, here's what I'm going to accomplish while I'm here. And after I accomplish these things and I leave, I can go to Honolulu or wherever I want to go, right? Some, you know, Southeast Pacific Island or something, because I took this dangerous assignment.
They have to work with local partners, with Mexicans, to get these priorities done. And they start to do it.
The U.S. government starts to go after a particular cartel boss.
And then all of the people that the State Department's working with and depending on say, well, you need to back off that guy. It's going to cause problems for us.
Why don't you go after this guy instead?
This is Al Capone.
Absolutely. So to what you said a minute ago, what can the U.S.
do if the U.S. goes after them? Does it break them up and turn them into, you know, is it like a hydra? Do you chop the head off and more heads come at you? I think that the US government
doesn't really need to do that. I think the U.S.
government needs to look at the reality of Mexico. Mexico, everything is for sale.
If you're dirty and you throw money around, you have political power and you can get things done. So he went on to say the US and Donald Trump needs to treat them like we treat Al Qaeda.
Do I think we can get to a place where where anytime someone raises their head and starts trying to be a big shot in Mexico and supplying that fentanyl or drugs to our country that they die and they know not to do it. I think we can, but I think it's going to take, it's going to take the Trump administration really ramping it up and they are ramping it up, but ramping it up more quickly than they are.
Um, they're going to have to, cause you, what do we have? We have, how long do we have till midterms, like right now? A year. A year.
And so they're gonna need to really accomplish the bulk of things in this next year, because we don't know what Americans are gonna choose at that point and how difficult things might become. Should we say to Mexico our state department is going to say what we did in cuba sorry no no travel to cuba no travel to mexico well okay so this is where things get really tricky is in a way we can we can do that with mexico we can play hardball but you you have to remember that China is courting Mexico.
So when Mexico's nationwide telecommunications, it wasn't a U.S. company who got the contract.
It was Huawei. It's China.
China would love to have a proxy on our border. So we have to balance that so so what i advocate is just to consistently use the intelligence community to to get these people get them take them out doesn't even have to really risk u.s life because we can get there are plenty of people in mexico even if the secretary of defense is unwilling to get mencho there are plenty of of people in Mexico who are willing to, you understand this? And I suggest that that's what we do.
I suggest we treat them like we're dealing with Al Qaeda. Not the entire country, right? But when it comes to these people, we have the intelligence.
We know how. 100%, I know for a fact that we do um you know one of the the weirdest things about being in my position is that about half of the information i come across i make public but half of it is there's really no public i'm going to ruin someone's investigation right like if someone says oh this cartel boss is gonna be here is supposed to be here on this date according to one of his bodyguards right well what am i gonna do with that what i'm gonna do with that i'm gonna share it with people i'm gonna share it with law enforcement i'm gonna say hey um you don't you don't become me in this position and not have some you know friendly relations with people in different agencies border patrol like cbp like you know all of the agencies are someone i know or can talk to and and i i'm very open about that like if about half the information maybe a little less than half there's no public value in sharing that right the head of this particular cartel is going to be here in a week.
But there is value in sharing that with law enforcement. This podcast is available everywhere.
Tomorrow, you'll learn things about Mexico that will honestly, you're thinking about going on vacation in Mexico? I wouldn't. It is a changed place right now.
And I think our State Department should be warning about the dangers of Mexico. They try to stay away from American citizens, but these guys are really very out of control.
That's available everywhere. Tomorrow, available now at Blaze TV.
This summer, one man faces his greatest enemy yet, the housing market. And the clock is ticking.
Open houses are packed. The paperwork written in Greek.
He can't afford to overpay. He can't afford to sell too low.
He's got to find a real estate agent who doesn't suck. And time is running out.
Sounds like a really bad movie, doesn't it?
Look, buying, selling a home, dramatic enough without having to deal with a terrible or even mediocre real estate agent.
I know.
I've done it a million times.
I didn't know how to look for a real estate agent.
I had no idea.
How do you even interview them?
You want to stay away from real estate agents that are part-time, somebody that your friend says, oh, my cousin is. No, no, no, don't do that.
I started my company, Real Estate Agents I Trust, to pair you up with the top sellers in your area. I started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country based on the metrics of the Wall Street Journal.
I went to them.
I talked to them.
I got to know them.
And then I started finding others like them.
My company is vetted these people like crazy. These are agents that will get the job done the right way, and they do it the first time.
The kind of agents you can trust to get the job done right. Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
That's real estate agents. I trust dot com.
There you have it. The truth stripped down like a fence post in a prairie storm.
Glenn Beck returns after this. Everything that looks, you know know normal looks normal until it doesn't right the mortgage uh you know is up to date the bank balance looks fine there's no strange mail no red flags nothing like that and then all of a sudden one day you get a letter or a phone call or a notice taped to your door and someone now owns your home someone else and now you're left kind of standing there thinking how is this even possible well it is possible and it's happening more often than you think home title theft is new but it's a rapidly growing kind of crime one that doesn't really like require a break-in or anything like that nothing obvious just a few pieces of stolen data and a criminal with a computer.
And with the rising AI problems that we're dealing with, forging documents, faking signatures, transferring a home title isn't really hard anymore. It's kind of automated and it's efficient.
And if you're not actively protecting your home, you might never even see it coming. That's why I use home title lock.
I want to protect myself against this. They have triple lock protection that gives you 24-7 monitoring of your home's title, instant alerts if anything changes, and a US-based restoration team that is there just in case something goes wrong at no extra cost to you.
Fixing this after it happens is not easy. It's expensive.
It can be exhausting and it's not guaranteed, but stopping it before it starts, that's easy. AI is changing the world.
Don't let it change the name on your home's title.

Promo code Blaze. Chuck Todd, who was on Meet the Press.
Chuck Todd is a reporter. Meet the Press was a show on NBC.
Still is? NBC is a network people used to watch. Anyway, he was on Piers Morgan, and he was trying to explain to Piers why nobody in the mainstream media talked about, you know, Biden's feebleness and losing of his mind and his marbles.
Listen to this. I sit here and I'll defend a little bit of this in that I would argue the reason people were able to come to their own conclusion on Joe Biden is because of the media coverage.
You know, look, we were subtle. He's using the back staircase.
He's not using the front staircase. Hey, he's not doing any interviews.
So there was this reluctance to the draw the conclusion to say, is he not doing this? And that I agree with that was that was held back, held back a lot. I would argue was also held back a lot back in the late 80s when it was clear Ronald Reagan wasn'tagan wasn't necessarily running everything in the white house whether you want to call it decorum whatever you want to call it um i like look there were plenty members of me i remember david ignatius in the washington post plenty of individual people questioning whether he should run i certainly questioned whether he should run you, you know, there were some of that, but I understand the argument about the collective
on that front. The only thing I can chalk it up to is this, whatever you want to call it,
this fear that some members of the media had sometimes that they would be perceived as helping
Trump if they somehow diminished Biden, right? That it was some sort of zero-sum game. And I think this has been the fundamental mistake that many members of the traditional press have done.
Whatever, Chuck. I mean, that's a...
It's honestly true that what that means is you value what people are going to call you over the truth. You value your political outcome over the truth.
Just this week, or was it last week, we took on Donald Trump a couple of days in a row on the third term. Okay, that's not helpful for, you know, you think people are not going to say, you just don't like Donald Trump, whatever.
We know that's unpopular with a lot of people, but we value the truth over a win or a party or a person. The truth is the business we're all supposed to be in, Chuck.
Don't try to write this off as, well, we said he was going up the back stairs. Or he's not giving speeches.
Stop it. You know, we live in a world where you never know if things are going to be the same from one day to the next.
It's just such a crazy world. And we've lost a lot of our traditions and our stories and who made us.
And that's why King of Kings from Angel Studios. It opens today in theaters.
It's why it's so important. It's not just another Bible movie uh it's a father charles dickens telling his
son the greatest story ever told uh and it's all animation you see the miracles the teachings the sacrifice above all you see god's love for the world uh the animation is beautiful the cast is incredible i mean i can't believe angel studios is getting people that they get into work i mean it's crazy. We've moved past the era where Christian films sucked.
In fact, it's weird because that's what Snow White, they've made the message more important than the movie, and we finally get it, and we've swapped places now. Go see King of Kings in theaters.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.
There is some amazing research that has come out
from the Capital Research Center and Ryan Morrow.
He's been on with us in the past
talking about extremism and dangers of extremism.
This new study out that shows Turtle Island
We'll be right back. in the past talking about extremism and dangers of extremism.
This new study out that shows Turtle Island. You ever heard that term, Turtle Island? You know what that's referring to? The United States of America.
The indigenous people said this was Turtle Island. And so these extremist groups are trying to restore Turtle Island.
No, they're not. They're trying to destroy America and their intifada groups.
And he is exposing them. I read his article today and it's like, oh, my.
Wanted to get him on right away to talk to you about it. Ryan Morrow, he is next.
So if you're hearing this, you're the resistance. Look around every day.
People all around you go about their daily lives blissfully unaware that much of the money they spend gets funneled into support. Causes that they don't approve.
Things they didn't sign up for. You know better because you're awake.
Your cell phone plan, for instance. You know that the mobile company that you're maybe with still today sends money to Planned Parenthood.
And do you agree with that? Do you want your money going there? You want to find a company that lines up with what you believe, but you don't want the hassle. You don't want to lose the coverage you have, and you don't want to lose the good price, well, all of that can be taken care of with Patriot Mobile.
Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and they're exactly what you've been looking for.
They're on the same towers as the big guys, so their services are just as good. Their U.S.-based customer service is even better, and best of all, they're part of the parallel economy, the resistance that we have been building for years.

972-PATRIOT. Ryan Morrow is a counterterrorism expert, investigative researcher for the Capital Research Center, where he monitors extremist groups in the U.S.
He is also an adjunct professor at Regent University. Ryan, welcome to the program.
Glad to have you back. Thanks so much, Glenn.
You bet. Man, I read your story today, and America faces pro-Hamas intifada on its own soil.
It is terrifying, the facts. Do you want to take us through this? Sure.
So over at Capital Research Center, where I work, we've done a series of studies because we want to collect data to see just how anti-American, the so-called pro-Palestinian movement, I say so-called because it's really not pro-Palestinian. Many of the groups don't even talk about that issue all that much.
But we want to see the level of extremism within that movement, as I've talked about on your program before. And so the latest study that we did, we want to see how it has changed from the 15 months before the October 7th attacks, and then also look at the 15 months after the October 7th attacks and see if anything changed.
And what we found was, based on their online postings and the engagement and everything, is that the anti-Americanism, which always existed, has now basically taken it over. It has absolutely exploded to the point where calls for anti-American violence, particularly towards the police, has increased by about 3000 percent.
When you look at about 500 of the top so-called pro-Palestinian activists and organizations, charities and groups like that. And the overall anti-American vitriol has increased by 186 percent since the October 7th attack.
OK, so tell me about these organizations, because you say they're not really even pro-Hamas anymore. They're anti-American.
Is this have these just been shill organizations, kind of Marxist organizations from the beginning? or is this just a natural morphing from, you know, we got to get rid of baby Satan to get rid of the great Satan? So many of them were Marxist or anarchist to begin with. And you can tell if you really follow this up, but they weren't really forward about it.
They have since become more forward about it. Many of the groups that you kind of suspected would support terrorism are now open about it because they got a comfortable environment, an environment where it was rewarded, and so the mask was able to be dropped.
And October 7th was kind of like that testing moment where to show to your own radical audience whether you are authentic or not, you had to say something. You couldn't just be silent and coast along anymore.
And so the result is that the mask dropped on a lot of these pro-Palestinian groups as to what they were really about. And then you had a lot of new groups form, some as nonprofits and some just as online groups that are unregistered as anything.
And so the anti-Americanism that was always there is now a central focus, in some cases more than the focus than it is on Israel even. So when you say they're really anti-American, your article talked about Fourth of July and how many of these anti-Israel groups, how they reacted to 4th of July.
And how many of these anti-Israel groups, how they reacted to Fourth of July? As cynical as I am, I was even shocked by this. So I looked at as many groups as I possibly could within a limited time frame, how they reacted to the Fourth of July holiday last year.
And what I found was over 250 anti-Israel groups condemning the holiday, saying they refused to celebrate it, in most cases saying that America is an illegitimate settler colonial state using the same terminology that they use to delegitimize Israel and say it should be destroyed, some blatantly endorsing violence. I saw one that was ridiculing Martin Luther King for being nonviolent.
And so you look at all of this, and you can really see the infrastructure. And we're talking about easily hundreds of registered nonprofits and thousands of unregistered groups.
Any of them getting money from our government?
Yes, that has been seen in the past,
particularly the groups that are linked to Muslim Brotherhood.
Various organizations have done research into that.
So that is certainly an issue.
They get money from the big donors,
the predictable names like the George Soros Network.
And so you have these sort of mainstream,
left-wing, democratic money powerhouses
I think that's a good guy. And then they give them the money, or they might be complicit.
I don't really know any justice. But this is a business.
Like, they condemn capitalism. These are jobs for people.
Like, they get bonuses and raises as they fundraise more off of this. So tell me about the Students for Justice in Palestine.
I'm trying to remember, because I know I have done in-depth stories on them, but they now are just all a blur. Who's Students for Justice in Palestine and who's funding them and what are they doing? So Students for Justice in Palestine is kind of the backbone of the protests against Israel and the United States that you've seen since the October 7th attacks.
They have a presence on, they claim, over 200 college campuses. So they're all over the place.
They're the main focal point. Not much is known about their leadership and fundraising or anything like that, because there's a particular arrangement through complicit nonprofits that they have to make it so that you can't see anything.
I mean, there is no transparency. We know that there's a link to American Muslims for Palestine, which is run by people who come from the Hamas network as groups were shut down.
They then gravitated over to this group and formed American Muslims for Palestine. And Students for Justice in Palestine is like kind of part of that, even though we don't know too many details.
We know they're tied at the hip. And Students for Justice in Palestine did get some negative attention for their protests after the October 7th attacks, especially because they openly supported them.
They're one of the first groups to actually celebrate them. Many of these groups before the Israelis even retaliated in large measure for the attacks were already saying Israel is a genocidal state, stop them from retaliating, and these attacks were awesome.
But what wasn't really noticed,
because everyone was so shocked by them supporting the October 7th attacks, was that that same statement also included a sentence where they said that they don't just support the groups that did it. They're part of them.
They're part of Hamas. They're part of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is like the communist counterpart to Hamas.
And they called for violence to resist occupied places and then
refer to the United States as
occupation. which is like the communist counterpart to Hamas.
And they called for violence to resist occupied places and then referred to the United States as occupied Turtle Island. That's a state call for violence on American soil.
Explain Turtle Island. So Turtle Island is this terminology that comes from a Native American myth that when the world was created, particularly North and Central America, it was created on the back of a turtle during a global flood.
And the Native American tribes referred to it as Turtle Island collectively until the white man, the settlers, showed up and then genocided them all. And so when these groups refer to the U.S.
as Turtle Island, it's the same thing as saying, well, Israel, you shouldn't call Israel,
you should call Palestine, because in their mind, there's an illegitimate country that everyone with moral fiber is obligated to fight and to destroy. And truly, they're just at the beginning, and so it seems ridiculous, but it's not ridiculous, and it is working in many ways over in Israel.
It's the erasing of the entire history of a country, its legacy, it's everything about us. By taking and saying this is, let me give you a quote, liberating colonized land is a real process that requires confrontation by any means necessary.
In essence, decolonization is a call to action, a commitment to the restoration of indigenous sovereignty. It calls upon us to engage in meaningful action that goes beyond symbolism and rhetoric.
Resistance comes in all forms, armed struggle, general strikes, and popular demonstrations. All of it is legitimate and all of it is necessary.
Wow. It's unbelievable.
And the people involved in us, those are your, the students involved in us, those are your future employers, your future politicians, your future influencers. I mean, that's where everything is headed and the trend lines are not good.
I was looking at a poll from 2017 and obviously everything's gotten much more radical since then. And they pulled American adults and asked them about various things related to extremism.
And that poll in 2017 found that 8% of American adults supported Antifa. Another 8% said that they liked white nationalism.
That's a total of about 16% in 2017. Now, if you consider the fact that Trump won the election by about one and a half percent, what that means is that as these groups coalesce and form a voting bloc, or even if they don't vote, they're just able to influence minds, they can determine who wins elections.
And you better believe the political industrial complex and politicians are going to increasingly realize that and be tempted to pander to them. Is this why the Democratic Party seems to have just completely lost their mind and they're going with AOC and everybody else who's a massive radical? I think so.
I mean, because this is the grassroots now. These are the activists, the people that they may not represent the majority of the opinion,
but they certainly form the majority of the online opinion makers.
You see the numbers of support for Israel compared to support for the Palestinians,
and the support for Israel is now at record lows on both sides. Is that a result of these organizations? I believe so.
I think it's also a result of foreign governments that promote seditionist-type beliefs and behaviors. They want to achieve what one expert calls discourse collapse, where basically you fill the American news ecosystem with so much BS that people just kind of like believe what they want or believe
what appears in front of their eyes most often. And I think that that's why you're seeing these
crazy fringe beliefs becoming mainstream. And I think if you put it all together,
I would say that when we hear Death to America, we think it's crazy. But I would say Death to
America is crazy as a belief system, but as a goal, it's actually achievable.
I'm it. Thank you.
Ryan Morrow. Thank you.
You bet. Capital Research Center, investigative researcherterrorism expert uh it is uh it is truly something we need to be very very aware of we we have won a four year period here but that can change on a dime as we're seeing this week uh you know economy goes away and uh donald trump does not win.
The Republicans don't win.
And you go back to crazy town, USA, that surrounds themselves with these kinds of people. Do you want to live in a society that is built on the backs of these kinds of people? The answer should be a resounding no.
but because we have such a bad media education system and everything else, and we're so polarized in politics that we can no longer see the truth, these people are going to, they are going to be the, they will make Thomas Jefferson's prediction of if we don't fight the Muslims now, he was saying this when he was president of the United States, our first foreign war was with the Muslims over with the Barbary pirates. And he stopped it.
And he said, I want you to know, they're, they're never going to quit. They're never going to end.
They believe all of these things in their Koran.
And they have a right to enslave you, to kill you, to take over all lands.
They have a right to the entire earth. And if we don't defeat them now, they're going to be our first foreign war and maybe our last foreign war.
I mean, look how prophetic that guy was in 18,
what,
seven.
All right.
Back in just a second.
18 seven,
18.
Oh,
seven.
Who says 18 seven?
You're saying 18,
you don't use 18.
Oh,
seven anymore.
Are you really going that direction?
Why?
Why do I,
why,
why Lord have I offended these so greatly that you've strapped me with
Thank you. Why? Why? Why do I? Why? Why, Lord? Have I offended thee so greatly that you strapped me with this donkey? Let me just speak in his language.
Ass would probably be the right term there. Yeah, I was talking to God.
Let me tell you about my Patriot supply. I've been telling you for years now about my Patriot supply and how I trust them when it comes to helping take care of my family through a crisis.
I am a little worried someone might have gone off on the deep end because they're doing something kind of crazy. Their mega three-month emergency food kit supply.
This one has everything their standard three-month supply has, plus over $360 in real meat, fruits, and vegetables added on at no extra charge. This is the kit to get.

MyPatriotSupply.com claim your mega kit while this offer lasts that's my patriotsupply.com mypatriotsupply.com 10 seconds station id something was driving me nuts about that interview we discussed it briefly before it started yeah so let me bring this christians and other religious minorities in the middle east face violence persecution and even genocide for their beliefs faith keepers a new documentary film from the clarion project captures their stories and exposes this humanitarian crisis to the rest of the world ryan morrow associate producer for faith keepers, joined Glenn on today's show from 2018.
We were like, oh my gosh.
We've had him on more recently than that, but I'm like, what?
How do we know Ryan going way back?
Why is he?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, he's like really an important memory and we couldn't remember.
I'm sorry, right?
But we couldn't remember why.
It's like, why is he so important to us?
We have a relationship with him and we could not place it.
Yeah.
That's back in 2018, seven years ago. So first of all, he's been on this beat for a very long time.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But also 2018 does not feel like seven years ago to me.
Oh my gosh, seven years ago? Seven years ago. Like that, the worst thing, you know, the internet does a lot of terrible things.
We could go through them. A lot of terrible things.
The worst thing it does, though, I think, maybe second worst, is when someone's like,
did you know we're closer to JFK being assassinated in 2001 than we are to 2001?
Or whatever the stupid things are.
All that does is make me sad.
It just brings on an utter feeling of sadness.
It's really, it's fascinating to say that
because i was thinking the other day the worst thing the internet does is child trafficking i said it was second but i corrected myself and went to second all right so child pornography that's right i clued those together it was a tie i didn't say how many things were tied for first a lot.
Time goes fast.
I know it does really fast i know that we are closer we are closer today to the jfk uh no when the jfk movie came out in 1991 it was closer to the actual assassination than we are now to that movie.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
That's incredible.
Think of this.
I don't know.
I just said I hated this stuff.
Now you're going to do when I when we were in 1980, we were closer to World War Two and all of the music and the movies and everything else that came out at that time that we thought as kids were like, wow. Yeah.
We were closer to World War II than we are now to 1980. Don't say it.
That's crazy. You know, it's funny now because now like millennials are getting that.
like the memories that they have have those same kind of time
yeah now because now like millennials are getting that like the memories that they have have those same kind of time yeah uh gaps and and make now they're feeling old and if millennials are feeling old what does that make us feel oh like i feel like a dinosaur every day i'm like all right more in just a second. It's Friday, gang.
It's Friday. This is Glenn Beck.
Basically, the take my money and beat the crap out of me kit. You know what I mean? Anyway, what you really need if you don't want to carry a gun or even if you do, you just want a second option so you don't have to kill somebody is a weapon that sends a very, very clear message.
You pick the wrong target. And that that weapon is the burner launcher.
It is nonlethal, which is often the way you want to go. But it stops an attacker in their tracks with kinetic or pepper rounds fired from a CO2 cartridge.
It looks like a gun, feels like a gun, legal in all 50 states, and you don't have to have a license to carry one or even own one. You just have to be over the age of 18.

If you follow me on Instagram,
is it Instagram or X that I posted this last week?
I'm a collector of cars.
And Jay Leno and I have a lot in common when it comes to Bentleys.
In fact, I tried to buy one of his the other, you know, a couple of weeks ago i'm like you don't really you don't really like that one jay and he's like you know i just don't sell my cars i just uh uh why would he like i know why would you why would you um but i i was i'm trying to put together a collection uh and he's just got a great one. His is incredible.
His car collection. You've been there with me, right? Yeah, we went to the garage, remember? Together.
It was incredible to see all the stuff. It's unbelievable.
And he's such a good guy. He's such a good man.
He really did seem like it. I really like him.
But anyway, so I tweeted something out that i there's a collection now i'm a big bentley fan racing fan and in the 1920s up to 1930 w o bentley he didn't believe in endurance races he thought that was ridiculous no car can last 24 hours at high speeds and and he was convinced by a bunch of people who were actually world war one flying aces they were crazy crazy rich they were all like dukes and earls and everything else but they were in their 20s had all this money had just got out of world war one and were addicted to speed and so they went to him and like no you know no we think we think your cars can do like, well, I'm not going to put up with, I'm not going to do a race team. That's ridiculous.
What a waste of money. And he was kind of actually poor at the time.
So they to get into Le Mans, they had to buy these private individuals. They had to buy 50 race cars from Bentley.
You had to have 50 to be able to get into the racing circuit. So they buy 50.
These, by the way, are the people that James Bond is actually modeled after, the character James Bond. That's why he's always in a tuxedo.
He'll be doing something crazy, and then he'll straighten his tie, and he's got a tuxedo on. That's based on the Bentley race team.
And so I have this 1934 Le Mans, just a, it's just a piece of art. It's just so beautiful.
They had it for a long time. And then Bentley came out with years ago, they came out with a hundred year anniversary of pretty much that car, that race team.
Okay. And I've been looking for that car forever and can't find it and can't find it.
And anybody who has it just doesn't want to sell it. And there's just a few of them made.
And I also have, in 1930, Bentley was sold to Rolls-Royce, unbeknownst to W.O. Bentley.
They did a separate LLC and said they were another company because he said, I'm never going to sell to sell the Rolls Royce. They'll destroy this company.
And so they made up another company and they went, we'll buy it and keep it away from Rolls Royce. And it was Rolls Royce.
And so they never won another race after they sold a Rolls Royce until they were sold again by Rolls Royce, I think in 2000 and they're a racing team. And they were were finally finally like these old lady cars are off our back and they started building you know race cars again 2002 or 2003 they won le mans again so i have the tribute car to that first rate and the trip race and the tribute car to the 1920s 1930s and the 1930s race car and they're going to be it'll be seen together for the very first time this weekend at a just a local car show uh connor's uh connor's car and bike show it's in a little town uh keller texas it's at their i think it's at the uh the town hall and it it it helps uh down syndrome the money goes to help.
So I like to go there every year and, but this year is going to be really special. Yeah.
This is, is this the first time these have ever been together? Like, I don't know anyone who has that set. I don't, I mean, I, I, I'm sure maybe there's a, maybe there's somebody, you know, Ralph Lauren could, but I know he doesn't.
I mean, who, you know, you have to be a really big bentley fan and and be relentless and yeah yeah wow that's fascinating yeah and also have a love for history which of course you do ah yeah such anyway anyway so i'm going to do that and then also don't forget king of kings is coming out oh yeah uh and uh that is a new angel studio which, by the way, has already made in pre-ticket sales about $14 million.
$14 million. $14.6 million.
Wow. In pre-sales.
Pre-sales. Now, this is, you know, if you remember, they had Sound of Freedom was one of their big movies.
Yeah, big. It was massive.
It was a massive, massive hit. This is now outpacing that, which is really incredible in pre-sales.
Because this is being compared to Prince of Egypt. Yeah.
And I've seen, this is really, if you liked Prince of Egypt, you're going to love King of Kings. You're going to love it.
You're going to love it. What did Prince of Egypt do on its opening weekend? Do you know? That's a good a good question it's uh i'm reading a story from deadline that says it is now uh poised to overtake prince of egypt uh for an animated biblical pick opening wow which that was a big movie huge movie i remember wasn't that the first skg movie spielberg it's a good question i don't the answer to that.
I think it was. I think it was.
Anyway, that was a big movie. That's coming out.
And by the way, just some more good news. Disney Snow White.
It didn't do well. No.
No. And The Guardian is actually reporting because you have to report these things.
If you're making a movie in england you have to report your carbon footprint uh-huh so disney was like you know we're gonna we're gonna be a green company that's gonna be a green movie because it's all about nature you know it generated more greenhouse gas emissions in the uk than the latest latest fast and furious film which is about really fast cars burning gasoline. That's all that is.
That's all that is. In fact, Snow White and the live action Little Mermaid created more pollution than any of its other movies made in the UK since 2019.
That's when they started reporting this. So they're going the opposite direction.
I just love that. I can't believe I revel in the demise of Disney, but.
Oh, I do. I do.
Oh, by the way, we were talking about Jay Leno. Did you hear what Jay Leno said? He was in California.
Yeah. And there, you know, you don't have to have, if you have an antique car, an antique is, I think in America, it's 25 years.
You don't have to have the emissions package. Okay.
If you buy a car, otherwise you gotta, you gotta make it so you can drive it within, meet all the emissions and you can't in old cars. Okay.
So I don't know what they've just passed in california but jay was like no one with cars are gonna they're killing all of the old cars and they're killing all the new cars there will be no cars left in california so he's trying to pass leno's law and he was up in sacramento and here's what he said they might think oh jay, Jay Leno's at the Capitol, the California state Capitol,
so many issues in the nation,
so many issues in this state.
Why throw your celebrity behind this?
Well, I know having annoying celebrities
come to Sacramento.
I watch them on TV.
They have no idea what they're talking about
most of the time.
But this is a subject I'm interested in.
You know, I watched the movie industry get decimated.
Everybody moved out of California. They charged so much to film.
Everything went to Texas, Georgia, Atlanta. We have the hot rod culture.
All the people come here, all the design studios, Toyota, Nissan, everybody, Hyundai, they have design studios in California because this is where the new ideas come from. When Leah Acoca worked on the early Mustang, he had the horse turn west because that's where the good ideas were.
And they're still here. But to see all these ideas leave and go to Texas and all these other places because it's easy to do business, I don't want to see the hot rod or the mechanical interests leave California the way the way the film business did that's amazing yeah he's it's about us it's a smog rule yeah and so they put on these environmental restrictions that of course they can't hit he said that he now has to drive when he's driving his classic cars he drives them he'd be driving them more to to get the smog checked out than he actually drives them normally so there's has to, because you have to go to a specific station, I guess, to get the check.
So more miles being put on to get the smog tested than he does normally driving it, which obviously in theory for the environment would mean that this law is making it worse, right? Yeah, he drives them, you know, I don't know how often he gets to each one but he tries to drive all of them you know i i i've talked to him and you know i've asked him about certain cars and you know should i buy this should i buy this and he'll he'll be like are you gonna drive it are you gonna let it sit there and i'm like well i want to drive it he's like okay good because all cars should be driven so he really drives all of his cars which is incredible to me a lot of them he's got a lot of them but he drives them all um but he usually only drives them home you know i mean he drives them home back to the shop home back to the shop he doesn't he doesn't you know go on long trips but he has so many cars that you know he's got to drive each one of those to the smog station, which is insane.
Yeah, it's nuts.
Does he have a plan for what he's going to do with this collection afterwards?
Does it give it to you?
No.
Darn it.
I was trying to, you know, I was like, no, Jay, you're not getting any younger.
I'm just saying.
People love it when you tell them that. I love that.
Is he thinking of a museum? Yeah, he's going to. It'll go someplace.
I don't know where, but it'll. And maybe it'll be his own museum.
Because he doesn't need to donate it to another museum. It's a museum in and of itself.
Oh, my gosh. You remember? It's legitimately one of the craziest things I've ever seen.
My son. I remind him this every time I talk to him.
My son was, how old was Ray? He was young then. Six? Maybe? Five, six? And we're in Jay's place.
The first time I had ever gone, I just had met him when we did The Tonight Show and then the next time I was in town, I think it was my birthday and my wife had called him up and said, hey, my husband has a surprise. I'd like to bring him to your garage.
He's like, sure. And so my son is there, and we get there, and I don't know where we are.
And my son immediately sees a Bugatti, his 1929 one-of-a-kind Bugatti. Of course.
And he's like five or six. He doesn't know nothing.
He just knows it's a beautiful, shiny car, and it looks like a race car. And he's like, Dad.
And he starts running to the Bugatti, and time slows down. Everything's like, no.
And I'm thinking, oh, my gosh, don't, don't, don't. And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. And Jay just reaches over, and he grabs my arm.
He's like, it's cool, man. It's only a car.
It's only a car. Go in.
Open the door. Get in.
Sit in it. Sit in it.
And I'm like, it's a Bugatti. I witnessed this happen.
And it was just like that. He was so cool.
He was so nice. So cool.
So understanding. He took my kids.
You remember, all of a sudden, I mean, we're just going around. And he's like, I'll be right back.
And he leaves. And, you know, so we're just kind of wandering around for a while.
And pretty soon he comes in his Edison. This is before Tesla.
You remember that? Yeah. He comes in his Edison electric 19-0 whatever.
And he's got my two kids in the front. And it's like an old carriage with a bunch of batteries underneath it.
And he's driving he just took my kids and he's just like i just want to show the cars yeah and i mean he's just such a great guy yeah hard to overstate how cool of an experience that was and and how cool he was i've seen you do this before with some of your historical items where like because that you can't go to me and i don't even want to touch them they're like you know these are priceless items from like the 1700s you're like no flip through the book look at it uh because that's what it's meant to be even though you got to be very careful you have to be careful you know it's i was like it's not like a bugatti that you could just find anywhere right right right yeah it's true uh but sorry for the chocolate footprints yeah no fingerprints by the way i know and it's all i could think of with rave was i think he has jam on his hands don't let him in don't let him in i don't want him in my car and we we we drove a nova here anyway uh all right let me tell you about relief factor uh i would like to talk to you a little bit about pain when you wake up in the morning it's there greeting you.

Well, if we have time, I want to hit one piece of history that is repeating itself now that I find amazing. Stu, you wanted to hit...
Oh, I shouldn't say this. You wanted to hit Chuck Todd one more time.
No, Chuck is fine. No.
No, I feel like he had comments that we played earlier where basically he said, you know, look, we kind of knew at the time and this was going on and we didn't hit it maybe as hard as we should have. And I think part of that was the media, you know, didn't want to be seen as helping Donald Trump.
And I found his comments to be pretty much accurate. Like, I think a lot of it is that reason.
Like they don't want to be seen as helping Donald Trump and I found his comments to be pretty much accurate like I think a lot of it is that reason like they don't want to be they're seen among their friends right as they're seen as helping Donald Trump they're ostracized everyone hates them this is not the way you're supposed to do journalism I'm glad it's I'm glad that it's coming out now and is being admitted cleanly like this but I do struggle with how to deal with that because part of me just wants to say, well, where the hell were you? Like we were all saying this at the time. Where were you? But I don't know if that's productive.
I think it's probably more productive to encourage more of this type of talk. Yes.
Yes. Even if it's after the fact.
Yes. You're as hesitant as I am, I think.
I'm hesitant because, you know, we've been down this road before they don't change they don't change they don't learn they're not going to change um and so uh i mean it's probably true it is nice to see that they're at least telling some of the truth but did you hear how he said it too he was like you know just i mean you can understand because they just didn't want to help donald trump win no that's not your job that's i don't understand what you should be saying is we made a huge mistake we're putting our politics in ahead of the truth and ahead of the good of the country the other conclusion he drew was you know he shouldn't have run you know that's why you know we didn't say but that's why he shouldn't run no he shouldn't have been the guy know, that's why, you know, we didn't say it, but that's why he shouldn't have run. No, he shouldn't have been the guy with the football.
Yeah. Probably for the last six to eight months, he shouldn't have been the guy with the football.
And the reason they didn't want him to win is because they thought he might lose. It wasn't because they thought it was wrong for a man in that state to be president of the United States.
It's because they thought he might lose to Donald Trump. They would have kept that lie going.
They would have just kept it going.
I'd still rather hear it from these guys than not, though.
And I feel like sometimes the people that admit it get hit harder because we forget
all the people that didn't admit it.
Oh, I have.
I'm like Santa.
I've checked my list twice.
This is Glenn Beck.
