Why Texas Democrats Are on the Run from Abbott | 8/4/25

I get so many headaches every month.

It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

Botox, autobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.

It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection, site pain, fatigue, and headache.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.

Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lugarix's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Why wait?

Ask your doctor.

Let me tell you about Good Ranchers.

4 billion pounds of meat were imported into the United States last year, and a shocking amount of it was labeled product of the U.S.,

even though it was never on American soil until it was dropped into a box.

It's a loophole that most people don't even know exists.

Meat can be raised, processed, and packaged halfway across the world, but as long as it's finished here, it gets that little flag stamp.

Good Ranchers is on a mission to end that deception.

Every single cut they sell, every steak, every chicken breast, every piece of bacon comes from livestock that was born, raised, and harvested right here in the United States.

No exceptions.

This is important because by the end of the program today, there will be another ranch and farm that has gone out of business.

When you buy from Good Ranchers, you're not just getting the best meat, you're supporting American farmers and ranchers.

You're standing against a broken system, and you're making sure the product of USA sticker actually means something.

This is

the Glenn Beck Program.

Hello, America.

It's Monday.

We have a lot to cover today,

including the Texas Democrats have once again run from the state of Texas.

I wish they would keep running and don't look back.

They are fleeing the state of Texas, and Governor Abbott has just said, if you're not back for the quorum,

he's going to begin removing all of the Democrats that are not returning to work.

We'll get into that a little later on in the program.

Also, Jason Buttrill is back from vacation and he spent his vacation

reading the documents that were released last year.

And

this intelligence annex is actually something that

we should have had released first.

Because I think the first part of it was like,

okay, but this has all of the meat in it.

And we're going to talk to him about that and what it all means coming up in just a second.

Standby.

First, our sponsor this half hour is Lear Capital.

Lear Capital, every day we are bombarded with noise and headlines designed to scare us, markets that lurch back and forth like a roller coaster, experts who disagree with other experts who disagree with the ones from yesterday.

It's easy to feel paralyzed, unsure what to trust or where to turn.

And in the meantime, your savings, the very thing you're trying to protect, is slowly being eroded.

If you have money in the bank for retirement, you've lost about 20 or 30 percent of it in the last 10 years.

That's not a good thing.

So, when things go sideways, people turn to something solid, something real, they turn to gold.

Lear Capital has spent decades helping people move a portion of their savings into physical gold and silver, not as a panic move, but as

some real good

defensive

advice against chaos.

Gold doesn't vanish when the internet goes down, it doesn't disappear with any kind of policy changes.

In fact, it gets stronger as the dollar starts to disappear.

Welcome, Mr.

Stuberge.

How are you?

Thank you, Glenn.

Doing well.

How about yourself?

Very good.

How was your weekend?

It was good.

It was good.

It was a weekend.

It was a weekend.

How about you?

Thanks.

No, it was very good.

But I want to, first of all, thank you for sharing something so personal and deep as

your rundown of the weekend.

It was great.

Let me go to Jason.

Hello, Jason.

Hey, Glenn.

I would ask you about your weekend, but I really don't care.

I want to get right to the news.

And

right to the news of

this plan to smear Trump with Russia collusion.

I talked to you this morning, and you said

this is a lot deeper and

a lot more meat to it than anybody

is talking about.

You want to take us through it?

Yeah, I was like, of course this would happen right while I'm on vacation.

Something like this drops.

And it's so insane.

And I,

what kind of annoyed me?

Oh, so this is amazing.

We'll get to like the contents of it.

But what kind of annoyed me is, you know, politicians, people in the FBI CA, all that that are working for Trump now and trying to get to the bottom of this, they're not storytellers.

And no one's, they're not claiming to be storytellers.

I wish that they would have had more of a storyteller mind and mindset for this because they should have released this Durham annex before the ODNI report that Tulsi Gabbard released.

And the reason I say that is because multiple times it talks about the special services that were involved and that were going to put more oil on the fire, which they were talking about, the FBI, and pushing this narrative of Russian collusion forward.

Now, the FBI analysts said these special services were probably CIA

or FBI, people that were, you know, close to the Clinton campaign.

Well, we got got that information in the OD Now report a couple of weeks ago.

The special services were, you know, it looks like it was allegedly the Obama administration right at the top that were ordering a new intelligence community assessment because they didn't like the fact that, you know, they said that there was no collusion, there was no hacking involved, there was nothing that pushed the election in Trump's favor.

They didn't like that.

So they ordered a new one.

Those are the special services.

Special services were the people that were in the oval that President

or in the Security Council room that President Obama called together, right?

Right, exactly.

So if they would have released this Durham Annex first, they talked about special services, then they could have put later and with later on

and showed how, well, this is how the government was colluding.

So yes, it was a Clinton plan.

This was in the Durham Annex released, was it Thursday or Friday?

Yep.

Yes, it was a Clinton plan.

It involved the entire deep state apparatus.

Now, I say that word very specifically because they mentioned the deep state twice.

They actually mentioned it twice in this.

I'm like, were you kidding me?

I couldn't believe this was getting out on my vacation.

They mentioned it twice.

Now, where did this information come from?

It came from

a source named T1.

Now, T1 is very, very mysterious.

We're not sure who this source is, but I was just looking, I was rapidly looking through everything I could.

I think it probably is one of our allied countries.

I I think

there was news coming around about the time that the Dutch security service had hacked or penetrated some of Russia's communications.

So it was like, you know,

there were double hacks, triple hacks going on all around this time.

It sounds like it was one of our allies, and they're reading in on what the Russians are putting together on this.

I just can't get past the, I'm sorry, I just can't get past the Dutch secret services.

Do they have like,

do they have phones in their wooden shoes?

I mean, it would be hard for them to sneak around in those shoes.

I'm sorry, but go ahead.

I just had to say it so I could get it off my mind.

Go ahead.

I love it.

Yeah.

I don't know how they're ahead of us on this, but hey, proximity, I guess.

They're closer.

But yeah, so they got this information.

They are.

compiling it and then giving it back to our intelligence services.

So our intelligence services, like the CA, are like, this is legit.

They've got

communications from, let's go back to what I said about the deep state, from some of these think tanks, which I

completely agree.

They are part of this deep state apparatus.

Some of these think tanks that are that are associated with Hillary Clinton or have a, you know, they're just warm about her.

And then

they, so not only think tanks, but also

like organizations, NGOs, like the Open Society Foundation.

There was one of their

bigwigs over in over in Europe that was talking about how he's getting you know plans for directly from the clinton campaign that this is being you know this is given a go from her directly and that she is expecting special services to help now you're this this is the um the memo from uh leonard bernardo right from yeah uh open society they're saying that uh bernardo has said i never wrote that letter i never said that in the email i don't know what you're talking about so what what

what gives it any credence to you?

So this was the disconnect between the FBI, which is not surprising to me because of people like McCabe and Comey that are all part of this at the time.

But the FBI is saying this information, this intercept, is not credible because it's...

It was hilarious.

They gave like multiple different responses.

One was, it looks like they're compiling from different information.

It looks like they might be exaggerating.

It looks like some of it could be hearsay.

So basically everything that was in the steel dossier, it's almost sounds like they're describing the steel dossier.

Correct.

But it wasn't about Trump.

It was about Hillary Clinton.

So this one, they're saying, oh, no, we can't include it.

Let's lock it away in a burn bag in a small closet in the FBI building.

We can't talk about it.

But the Steele dossier briefed that to President Obama immediately.

Are you kidding me?

But the CIA is saying, wait a minute.

They disagreed.

They said, wait a minute, this is a source.

And I'm just, I'm paraphrasing.

You know, these are not direct direct quotes but they're saying this is a source that we have um this stuff is credible the fbi is saying well it looks like it's a compilation well yeah it sounds like it is uh bernardo is saying i never wrote this um

it sounds like there was the uh the the uh explanation was that they were gathering from multiple different reports from the russians that had intercepted some of this stuff and he's putting it all together and then saying well this was said during this time this was said during this time and he compiled it all together and put it out there in this, in one of their memos and released it to us.

So it doesn't surprise me at all that, you know, Bernardo could make a claim, true or not, who knows, that I never wrote those words specifically.

That doesn't absolve him.

And it sounds like the CIA and our intelligence was saying, yeah, like

whatever.

It might not have been word for word, but this is a trusted source.

We need to listen to it.

And it was trusted enough.

that they had to brief immediately the heads of the Obama administration about it.

So draw conclusions there.

They also, the CIA takes, this is the way they get information.

Like if the Russians are spying on us, they don't ever take an exact email.

They take pieces so you don't ever know exactly who got it or where it leaked or how it happened, correct?

Yeah, true.

And yeah,

the Dutch security services that would be allegedly getting this information,

they're getting it through, you know, either emails or transmission signals, intelligence, listening in on their conversations, whatever.

They're getting this, however, they're getting this, and they're compiling it into reports.

They're creating analysis reports, and then they're transmitting that back to their superiors, and then some of that to us.

So, yeah,

it's complicated.

It's intelligence mumbo-jumbo, but it sounds like the intelligence community was on board with this being credible, actionable intelligence.

But the FBI, for some reason, was like,

let's not pay attention to this.

Let's lock it away.

But the interesting thing about a lot of this, Clint,

was

it kind of irritates me how

even today, how we're responding to this, because we're still giving the Democrats,

I guess, is like a political smokescreen.

You really have to look into what was freaking the Democrats out and the deep state, which again mentioned twice in this memo, what was freaking them out.

It wasn't just

random stuff about Trump and Russia, which that stuff was all made up, which we now know, but it was everything that was going on at the time.

Now, what was going on at the time?

They were concerned, and it mentions in this memo, all the distracting away from Hillary Clinton's emails and what was inside those emails.

Now, what do we know?

Well, we also know that it wasn't just Clinton's Hillary Clinton's emails that were hacked.

Remember, there were the DNC leaks, there were the Podesta email leaks, there were all these other leaks, which included information like

the DNC basically rigging their election,

getting rid of Bernie Sanders because they really wanted Hillary Clinton to become president.

Pick a scandal that Obama says he never had, like his drone strikes, that was in there.

What was going on, Glenn, and Ukraine?

That was also released.

And all of these hacks that they are now trying to distract away from.

It also verifies something that we said was happening where they were funneling all of this money through NGOs like George Soros.

All of that stuff is, all of the connections were in this.

Do we know who hacked her emails and who hacked her

and who hacked the DNC?

Do we know that yet?

You know, I think that specifically needs to, we need to go back and demand solid proof that it was the Russians.

Now, I don't know if it was the Russians.

It very well could have been.

But back in the day, and the memo mentions that this was happening like at the beginning of 2014.

So well before the election, these penetrations were beginning to try and hack these, to try to hack this information.

But if you look at news reports from back then,

the speculation was wild.

They were saying that I was just reading, it was from the AP, how they were talking about how there were intrusion records that showed people from China were trying to hack these emails.

People from Germany were trying to hack these emails.

And people from South Korea were trying to hack these emails.

Now we just assume that it was Russia because the intelligence community back in 2016 and early 2017, because they told us it was Russia.

I think we have to go back and re-examine all of that because how many hoaxes can we pull out of this?

We're just accepting that one is true?

It could be, but we have to look back.

And there was larger speculation that was going on and there was involved back during the time when this was originally happening.

You know, Stephen Miller, do we have the audio, Stephen Miller?

Let's play this audio, what he said over the weekend, and then we'll take a break and come back with more with Jason.

Here's the audio of Stephen Miller.

The Russia collusion hoax against President Trump remains the single greatest hoax and the greatest assault on our democracy in the history of this country.

There's no comparison.

There's no parallel to anything else.

It was a coup, and I'm using that term literally, it was a coup to overthrow a democratically elected government, a coup carried out by the intelligence apparatus of this country, by the deep state, by Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party.

The new information that has been revealed by the Director of National Intelligence and by the FBI eliminates any scintilla of doubt about the intention, the premeditation, the planning and orchestration of this conspiracy.

It meets all of the criminal elements of a seditious conspiracy against the United States.

It meets the criminal elements of an insurrection.

It meets the criminal elements of a conspiracy against the government and the criminal elements of a conspiracy to deprive citizens of their civil rights under color of law.

And I don't think he goes far enough on that because he's only talking about one part.

I think there's a prediction of mine made in 2009 that is about to come true.

I said, if this administration is not held to account soon, remember this is 2009,

in the end, we will find corruption that will make Watergate look like child's play.

And it's not just this.

As Jason just said, They are worried about all of the other stuff.

It's not just Donald Trump they're worried about.

They're worried about the exposure on all of the other things

that

were happening at the time, including Ukraine and Benghazi and all of that stuff.

This is all tied to this.

I'm convinced of this.

We'll have more with Jason in just a minute.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

Our sponsor is the Berna launcher.

All right, we're going to pause for 10 seconds.

So,

Jason, welcome back to the program.

I want to share something that Molly Hemingway wrote this weekend and see if,

just get your response from this.

Special agent Peter Strzzok and his mistress, FBI lawyer, Lisa Page, we remember them, they sued the Department of Justice over the release of messages detailing their role in pushing the Clinton campaign's Russian collusion hoax.

They said the release of the messages were written using government resources and it violated their privacy.

The Biden administration rewarded the duo with lucrative payouts.

He got $1.2 million in taxpayer funds, and Page received $800,000 in the settlement.

And I remember being pretty

outraged by this.

Well, now we know that it was Brian Nedder, the deputy assistant attorney general.

He was the individual that approved the settlement.

Because remember, we were asking that at the time, who did this?

Well, Nutter currently serves as the legal director of Democracy Forward, a Democratic Party-affiliated group that was launched in 2017 to fight President Trump with Lawfare.

Mark Elias also chairs the board of Democracy

Forward.

So now I just want you to watch this web.

Elias was the Clinton campaign general counsel.

He signed the checks for the Russian collusion hoax.

It was all run through Elias' law firm as legal services.

Clinton was fined only $113,000 for false claims she made to hide her role in this.

Elias also ran Democrats' legal's effort to destabilize the 2020 elections with sudden expansion of unsupervised mail-in balloting operations.

Remember that.

Also, other board members of Nedder's group include former Clinton campaign manager John Podesta, the former Biden chiefs of staff Ronald Klain,

and the former leader of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Campaign Committee, Minnie Myers.

Netter worked for Merritt Garland's Department of Justice through 21 to 25.

He was also on a committee comprised of only members appointed by Nancy Pelosi.

Also, he married the Democratic lawyer and activist Karen Dunn, who was married by Merritt Garland.

She worked for Hillary,

and she also started a firm, a law firm with uh Jeannie Ree,

who worked on the Russian collusion hose.

Glenn Beck.

It's one amazing web.

All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's my Patriot Supply.

If you've been paying attention to the news lately, you know something is different this summer.

It's not just hot, it's unpredictable.

Flash floods, hitting places that never used to have floods.

Roads are washed out, supply lines cut, entire neighborhoods underwater, and then the system gets stretched too thin, and you start to see the same image: people standing in line, waiting for food, waiting for water, waiting for the government to do something.

We'd all like to believe that if something went wrong, something big, someone would be there to step in.

But if you're not in Florida or Texas, good luck with that.

The truth is, the people who make the promises aren't always the ones who show up in the middle of a crisis.

That's a terrifying thought.

So, prepare now with emergency food.

You can stock up on emergency food.

And right now, My Patriot Supply is giving away

four weeks of emergency food.

Just go to mypatriotsupply.com, claim

your free four-week food supply, and join the millions of Americans who are prepping with MyPatriot Supply.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We're glad that you're here.

Jason Buttrill is still with us.

We're preparing a show for you on Wednesday.

This story is so complex,

and that I think is what everybody is hoping for, that it is so complex that nobody will ever be able to follow it and understand it.

And it's taken 10 years to perpetrate on the American people.

But it is important that you understand it.

And so we're going to do our best.

This story was made for the chalkboard because just what I gave you a minute ago, Jason,

the web is incredible and it's all of the same players.

It's not a very big group of people, is it?

Not a very big group of people, but they are spread out and they're all over the place within the government.

And what I love about this whole thing, as awful as this entire scandal is, like, so that you have this, the thing you just mentioned, you have this DOJ official giving payouts to two of the big players that were involved in this entire hoax.

Payouts.

What does that do?

That is basically

a warning.

Do not screw with this apparatus that we have.

That's basically an unelected government within the elected government, also known as the deep state.

Do not screw with it.

That was a punishment.

to everyone else saying, look what can happen to you.

And then this guy just runs off and he joins another part of the entire deep state apparatus.

What I love about this is that the Trump administration is exposing The deep state used to be this thing that we're like, oh, we just talk about it and people would criticize us and say, they're just saying that when they don't know who to blame.

Well, no, we know exactly who to blame through this.

We can map out the entire deep state off of this.

This is how they operate.

It's think tanks.

It's NGOs.

It's organizations like the Open Society Foundation.

It's special services within the government.

I think in the past where the Obama administration went wrong is the special services shouldn't have been so obvious with the support of their president at the time, Barack Obama, who directly intervened and got involved, allegedly, on this.

I don't think that has ever happened before in this manner, but now we have all the information.

It's being released bit by bit by bit.

And I think when this is all over, I don't think they're, I don't think the Trump administration is done with this.

When this is completely over, we will know exactly how the deep state operates.

We will know exactly the different arms that are involved, and we'll be able to shut them down systematically, bit by bit.

And I say bring it on.

Let's continue it.

Yeah, I think that there's this cabal, if you will, maybe 50 people

and

maybe 10 of them actually running things.

And

that is the head of the snake.

You get rid of that and you pretty much put the deep state to death, I think.

I think.

But the longer we wait, the more they are grooming their replacements who are going to wait undercover.

So anyway, Jason, welcome back.

Glad you're here.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Before Jason goes, we need to address why he looks like he's in a dungeon.

Why

he is surrounded by utter blackness

in his video shot here.

If you're listening on radio, he looks like an opposition revolutionary figure from a dystopian sci-fi movie.

Like where all you see is his face hovering.

We're talking about the deep states, too.

I'm from my bunker.

That's what I'm doing.

Where are you?

You really do look like that.

I didn't even notice that.

I wasn't watching.

I was just listening.

You are.

It's like, and we going out to Lucifer.

Shut up, Stu.

I feel like the people who've designed your shot are the same people who designed the shot for the Biden speech he did in front of that red wall.

It looked like he was directing from hell.

Yeah.

So congratulations on that one, Jason.

All right.

Jason, thank you so much.

And we are going to have a, we're going to do our best to tell this story the right way on Wednesday.

I'm in West Palm Beach at WJNO this week, and so I don't have chalkboards.

So we're going to have to figure out how to do this because this screams for chalkboards.

So

let's see.

What else has happened?

Stu, Lonnie Anderson is dead.

Yes, that is true.

Glenn, WKRP in Cincinnati, from back in the day?

Yep.

I believe she's number two out of the three because Chuck Mangioni just died.

I don't know if he counts, but he died last week, also from the 80s.

Now, from the 80s,

Lonnie Anderson, Lonnie Anderson.

So that's number two.

As we've discussed many times, Glenn, this is nonsense.

And you know that it's nonsense.

People don't die in threes.

They die in threes.

They clearly die in threes.

They clearly die in threes.

As soon as someone else dies, then

that would be four.

And then you just instead just start a new group of three inexplicably with no delineation of any merit.

Because it's a cap.

It's a cap, the third one cap.

We don't have the third one yet.

We could still be wrong.

Another one may not die.

But, you know, if somebody dies from the 80s pretty soon, I mean,

your position is that another person might not die that was in the 80s?

That's your position.

I want to make sure I understand your logical position.

I just want to make sure that everybody understands that you are saying, no,

people just don't die in threes.

They don't die in threes.

And people will continue to die that lived in the 80s for the foreseeable future.

Of course.

Yes.

Of course.

And

it doesn't mean somebody that was from the 80s

is not going to die this week.

Of course, we're talking about celebrities, and they die in threes.

They don't.

You don't even know when they count in the threes.

You just said, I don't know if he counts.

If you don't know what he counts, how because I don't know if he's really a celebrity, he had one hit song, and so I don't know if that's, he might be in a, he might be in a category of another three.

He may not be.

We'll see.

We'll know by next week.

We'll know.

Oh, I can't wait.

I can't wait to get this broken down from you, the expert on such topics.

Well, I'm just saying.

I mean, we've known it since we were kids, Stu.

We've known it.

In Harris County, Texas, in Houston, there was a grand opening event at the Hair Galleria Beauty Supply,

and it spiraled out of control last Wednesday morning.

Apparently, celebrity hairstylist.

Now, does that mean he's a celebrity or he is the hairstylist for celebrities?

Do we know?

His name was Jonathan Wright.

Would he count when he dies as one of the celebrity three?

No.

No, no, he wouldn't.

Why?

No, he wouldn't.

Because I think he's the hairstylist for celebrities, and so they don't count.

Okay, got it.

Anyway, he is the owner of the right way.

He promoted a grand opening on his Instagram where he has more than 2.3 million followers.

He advertised $300 to $400 wigs, giveaways, and even $4,000 in cash for shoppers who arrive within 20 minutes of the post.

Well, it brought more than 500 people out, many of whom camped out overnight in the parking lot.

They waited in line as early as 5 a.m., hoping to grab a $300 wig.

But is the, you know, can I ask you, is there a lot of calls for wigs these days?

I think so.

I think they're a pretty hot item.

You know,

Now, I will say I did buy two Weird Al wigs for this weekend.

Right, you did go to Weird Al.

Yes, and

I wore a Weird Al wig with my daughter, and they were only like $18 or something on Amazon.

Oh, that's a surprise.

That's

surprising to me.

Shocking.

I don't know if the demand is there for the Weird Al wigs, that maybe these $300 wigs, or if they're just better versions of Weird Al wigs, could possibly be that.

It's probably a bigger is, does it count as child abuse to bring your child to a Weird Al concert?

I could tell you absolutely not.

And the thousands of people there joining me at that show were very much in line with my opinion on that.

So anyway, $300 to $400 wigs.

Now, you say that wigs are kind of a big deal now, Stu.

And

I would say, then how come the wig stores are never in like a better part of town?

I don't know.

I don't know the, I will say I have not broken down.

I have no investments.

We should say full disclosure, no active investments in wig companies.

So my analysis on their business apparatus is limited.

So I don't know.

I would assume wherever they are is probably, I mean, the market usually says that's where they sell the wigs, but I don't know.

Okay, I don't know.

Okay, so anyway, as the crowd continued to grow, things quickly escalated.

At some point, authorities say a chemical substance was sprayed into the crowd.

After the crowd cleared, Harris County fire marshal stepped in and cited the owner for multiple violations, including not having the required certificate of occupancy or special use permit to host an event that size.

Officials say the business was not approved for retail operations or public gatherings, and he didn't have any crowd control measures in place.

Now, on the crowd control thing, I say you give the guy a break.

Who would have known $400 wigs would cause a crowd?

I mean, I would have done that long ago.

Sounds like a race to the top of the media.

You know what I mean?

They're like giveaways.

Who is that over there?

Oh, I don't know, but he must be important.

Look at the size of that crowd.

Little do they know I'm selling $300 wigs.

Wait, is he selling the $300 wigs or was he giving away $300?

Hang on just a second.

He promoted the grand opening.

He advertised $300 to $400 dollar wigs comma giveaways comma and even four thousand dollars in cash for the shoppers who arrived within 20 minutes of the post so you could buy you know 10 wigs with that

you buy 10 wigs you won the four thousand dollars you could buy 10 wigs you might be able to have enough wigs to open your own wig store i don't know i don't know is that the desire of the people buying the wigs they want to open up their own wig store at some point you could buy a 400 wig and sell it for $700.

Yeah, I do.

The money you're making.

Yeah, absolutely.

Anyway,

the store had been ordered to stay closed for at least eight weeks until it could attain the proper permits and undergo inspections, but he didn't do that.

He continued to promote.

Yada, yada, yada.

The fire marshals were there, the chemical spray.

They're still investigating where the chemical spray came from.

Anyway, I'm only sharing this story because

I don't trust wig stores.

You don't trust them?

I don't trust them.

They're not always in.

I've never seen a wig store in a booming part of town.

You know what I mean?

It's like you go to a sad downtown someplace and you're like, oh, look.

But there's four wig stores.

I don't know.

Are homeless people wearing wigs?

Maybe that's where bank robbers go to get disguised.

I don't know.

I don't know.

But

I just don't know either.

I don't know either.

I will say I don't know the answer to this.

I would assume that people from all different economic backgrounds wear wigs.

I feel like that's,

I mean, I guess, you know, it seems like when you're a businessman, they just call it a toupee.

Right?

Like, I feel like everybody, there's need for fake hair all over the place, Glenn.

There's nobody wearing fake hairs.

Is there anybody really wearing toupes now?

I don't know.

Seriously.

I feel like it's probably still a thing, no?

I want to hear from men in the audience that wear toupes

and women who wear wigs.

But I need a lot of women who wear wigs.

Now, I'm not offering $400 wigs.

So, you know, it's just a call to just let me know that, hey,

I buy wigs, you know.

You know how this is going to turn out, right?

You're going to get people who, like, had cancer treatments and needed wigs, and they're going to make you feel terrible.

Well, then why do we, why aren't those sold in the hospital?

Why aren't those sold in like you know i'm sure they are see i don't believe that because i'm sure people

i'm sure that if you're going to like the cleveland clinic they got the wig thing down you think the you know what i mean the cleveland clinic is designing the wigs i don't i feel like they don't think they're busy doing it but they they somebody

Somebody is setting up a wig store near the Cleveland clinic.

They're like, this is the place for wigs.

If it's cancer people, you would understand that.

But why do they have to go to a place where it's like, psst,

you want a wig?

I don't think that's what's happening.

I could be wrong.

I don't know.

I don't think that's what's happening.

I don't think there's like a

good stuff in the back.

Like a Watergate-type figure who's like coming around in trench coats, selling wigs in parking garages.

I don't think that's how that happens.

All right.

Okay.

Well, whatever.

Thank you, Stu, for your help on this.

Your whatever seems about the amount of thought you've put into that particular segment.

Yeah, whatever.

I don't think I needed to put a lot of thought into it.

The guy's giving away $300 wigs.

They needed crowd control and then mysterious chemical spray on the crowd.

I don't think there's really...

There's not a lot of work that needs to be put into that.

Anyway, let me talk to you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

I want to talk to you about something that is deeply personal for me, and that is Israel.

The world can feel like it's spinning out of control.

Promises are broken every day, day, but there's one promise that never failed, and that is the everlasting covenant with Israel.

And more than ever, God is calling on Christians to stand with his people and show the world that his promises still hold.

Now, that doesn't mean that we fight their wars or anything else.

It just means we help them where we can, how we can, at least just stand up and say, hey, Jews have a right to live.

What do you say?

This isn't about charity.

This is about aligning ourselves with God, God's plan and declaring to the world that his people still matter and his promises still stand.

Join me, Stand with Israel, Stand for Something Eternal.

You ever seen a liberal's hands smoother than a snake on oil?

Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word retarded than the word work.

Glenn Beck, we'll be right back.

So, if you want to be healthy, somebody's probably told you to try fish oil, right?

It's been the go-to omega-3 supplement for years and years and years and years.

And chances are, you might have taken it yourself or at least thought about it.

And the promises are everywhere.

You get the better heart health, and the lower blood pressure, and improved cholesterol, maybe even less joint pain.

Yet for a whole lot of people, those benefits never seem to materialize.

You take the capsules, you wait, and nothing really changes.

There's a reason for that.

Most fish oil supplements don't give your body omega-3s in the form it can actually absorb and use most efficiently.

And you're swallowing these capsules and your body just isn't getting what it needs from them.

That's where Native Path Antarctic Krill Oil comes in.

It delivers omega-3s in a highly absorbable form, which you don't find in traditional fish oil, and which plays a huge role in fighting inflammation and supporting your overall health.

So, the honest question here is: Has your blood pressure actually improved?

Are your joints really more comfortable?

Is your cholesterol actually coming down?

If you're still waiting for fish oil to deliver on its promises, you might want to try something different.

And we can get started right now.

All right.

All right.

Did you hear that Trump has ordered the labor statistics chief to be fired over the revisions?

Yes.

Now,

a lot of people might look at that and go, oh, see, he's just, he doesn't care about science.

You know,

this is the same woman that was doing this under Biden.

And we all said,

I've never seen revisions like this.

I've never seen who's running the revisions, who's running the labor statistics?

Because

this is insanity.

So he's just firing somebody for being incompetent.

Not because he wanted better statistics.

He's saying, why are we revising the way we're revising for the last four years?

The woman who was brought in with Biden, a political appointee, she did a horrible job under Biden.

I completely forgot about her until they revised again last week.

And I'm like, this is ridiculous.

I'm glad she was fired.

More in just a second.

This is Glenn Beck.

Let me talk to you a little bit about Burna.

I'm sending

kids off to live on their own now.

And as my daughter moves out of the house, I want her to have protection.

I want her to have a gun, but I don't want her to have a gun in some ways.

I want her to be able to protect herself in all situations.

And Burna launcher is a really good go-to that no matter where she is, she can carry that because it's legal in all 50 states.

You don't need a permit.

And you see trouble coming your way, this puts tear gas in their face.

It's not just pepper, it's tear gas.

You can be 60 feet away and hit them, you know, near the feet, and it'll put them down for 45 minutes.

It is really an important weapon, and everybody should have one, especially you're, you know, sitting here as you're getting ready to send your kids to school if you are, or they're moving out of the house.

Hello, America.

We're going to talk a little bit about politics, a little bit about Hamas, these pictures that came came out over the weekend.

Also the video from the woman that was beaten within an inch of her death.

I thought they had killed her in Cincinnati.

It's an amazing, amazing statement from her that you need to hear coming up in just a minute.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's Pre-Born.

One of the most powerful things a human being can hear is a heartbeat.

Not just any heartbeat, but a brand new one.

A heart that's only just begun to beat, a life that is just beginning to unfold.

Every single day, because of you, thousands of moms are experiencing the sound for a very first time, the rhythm of life inside of them.

And for over 38,000 babies, this year so far, that moment changed everything.

38,000 babies and moms

have been saved because of you.

If you're giving to pre-born right now, they take this money and they apply it right directly to pay for an ultrasound and when when mom hears that heartbeat everything changes in her world they're also helping mom out for up to two years after she gives birth they're letting her know she's not alone those of us who care about the child's life also have to care about the woman's life and how are they going to function after she has the baby For $28, you can introduce at-risk babies to their moms through an ultrasound.

And when she sees that precious life and hears the heartbeat, she's twice as likely to choose life.

Sponsored by pre-born.

All right.

Let's see.

Let's go to quickly here to Texas.

Lawmakers in Texas, the Republicans, have drafted a new map, electoral map.

Democrats have condemned it as political power grab,

but this is the kind of stuff that happens in every state.

Except the Texas Democratic lawmakers have now fled the state,

and they are planning on staying out of the state

until they get their way.

Now, this is literally the nuclear option.

And

I think they're up in Illinois, are they not, Stu?

Last time they fled to Oklahoma.

It is the weirdest thing.

It's the weirdest thing.

Yes, some of them are in Illinois.

They've been kissing up to J.B.

Pritzker, trying to get him, you know, get their

donations sent their way.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, good.

Anyway, Abbott, our governor in Texas,

sent a letter to each of the members late Sunday informing them that he would attempt to have them removed from office if they don't return to Austin.

Now, the reason why they left Texas is because if you don't, when you have left your job and you're leaving the

House and the Senate without a quorum, they can't vote, the governor can send the state police out, not to arrest you, but send them out and take you against your will to the Capitol and seat you so there can be a quorum so business can go on.

That's just the law in Texas, always has been.

The governor said that there is a 2021

non-binding legal opinion from Ken Paxton, who said it would be up to the court to decide whether a lawmaker who had left the state to deny quorum had forfeited their office.

If a court were to decide that the legislators had vacated their offices, Abbott would be permitted to fill those seats with appointees of his choosing.

Holy

cow.

I hope they try to do that.

You know, I want to see what a court says, but

if a court says that they can do it,

they should at least try.

I mean, you know, you just don't run from it.

You don't run from it.

I'm sorry.

This is the way it works.

You ran.

Your party lost.

Now you have to go make the best of it.

That's the way the rest of us do.

You know, you don't see us running out.

That's the way the rest of the country works.

That's the way the Republicans work or should.

I don't think I've ever said.

Have you ever seen them run from things like this, Stu?

Tried to leave?

There might be an example.

I don't remember it off the top of my head.

It does feel like Democrats are the ones typically doing this.

Yeah.

But, I mean, look, they're terrified of this because this could net the Republicans a few seats.

And typically what happens in midterm elections with every single president, there are very few exceptions to this, is that the opposing party winds up winning some seats.

And in that, in the case of this particular balance, you've got a situation that that almost definitely means Democrats take the House.

So Republicans know that.

They're aware of this fact, and this is one of the things they're trying to do.

They're being pretty overt about it.

They're saying we want to get five seats out of Texas.

They think they can pull it off.

And they're going to do, I mean, I think they're doing everything they can.

Every tool in the toolbox is being utilized.

Yeah.

And it really bothers me

because that's the way the Democrats are.

They don't care.

They don't care.

If they don't get their way, they stomp and they cry and they shout.

And if they still don't get their way, then they cause mayhem.

That's not the way it works.

It's not the way it works, guys.

You were elected.

You were elected.

The balance of power doesn't come to you.

So it goes to the Republicans.

So I'm sorry, you can fight and fight and fight, but you can't just stop the state's business.

Can't do it.

So

we'll see.

I hope Abbott does it.

I hope he does it.

Now,

I don't know if you saw the

living skeleton hostage, the video that came out on Friday of the Hamas hostage.

It is,

it's really sick.

I've only seen the pictures.

I haven't seen the video,

but the pictures of this guy who was buff

and really healthy looking.

I mean, he looked like he was really in shape.

He was

out

at the,

you know, at the concert

there in Israel.

And

at the concert, he's one of the guys that was grabbed by Hamas.

They released a five-minute clip of him.

He's 24 years old.

He's in a tunnel.

He's standing in this tunnel with a ceiling about as high as he is.

They show him crossing off dates on a calendar and digging a grave.

He says, I haven't eaten for a few days in a row.

And if you look at him, he is nothing but skin and bone.

I haven't seen a Jewish person look like this since the Holocaust.

I mean, that is the image that I think that they are, Hamas is trying to send to the world because I think they're proud of all of this.

In the middle of the video, a person behind the camera hands him a can of beans.

And David said, this can is for two days.

This whole can is for two days so I don't die.

This is the grave I think I'm going to be buried in.

Time is running out.

This is is the deliberate starvation of this hostage.

And you would say, well,

the kids are starving.

Now you only care.

Let me tell you another story.

I want to read this one verbatim.

When much of the world had written off northern Gaza as unreachable, 30-year-old East Jerusalem resident Sarah Awada and her team carved out a lifeline.

Under the umbrella of MENA AID, a regional partner coalition operating through the Multi-Faith Alliance and in coordination with Israeli authorities, she built a system that moved hundreds of trucks of food and supplies into Gaza, bypassing Hamas and private contractors who had turned hunger into a business.

Did you catch that line?

Bypassing Hamas and private contractors who had turned hunger into a business.

More than 100,000 families have been fed.

The cost, her own safety.

Quote, I never imagined that to be creating safe, independent humanitarian route would become the reason my life might end, said Sarah.

After delivering 346 trucks of aid between September 24 and February 25, we've reached 100,622 families.

We decided to scale up distribution on June 30th at a time when no one was able to get anything into Gaza because of looting, chaos, and multiple layers of obstruction on the ground.

Operating through MENA aid, her team designed an alternative route to deliver food and essential supplies.

In Israel, a trusted logistics company transported the goods from the port of Ashdad to the Kirim, Shalom, and Zitkim crossings.

Inside Gaza, another logistics partner handled the transport while her staff, coordinating in real time with Israel, shadowed every shipment.

Once the aid crosses crosses into Gaza it's picked up by another trusted logistics partner our teams are present during the offloading and accompany the aid from the crossing to secure warehouses inside the warehouses we begin distribution immediately aiming to deliver everything the same day and at most within two to three days nothing is allowed to sit idle That level of control allowed them to achieve what few others could, reaching northern Gaza where people had not seen a staple supply of food for months.

Her breakthrough exposed a darker reality, an economy where hunger itself has become a business.

Now,

this

is reporting.

She says, quote, there's a lot of private sector businessmen, some associated with Hamas and other political groups.

By the way, this is not somebody who lives in the Jewish quarter of Israel.

She is living in the Islamic quarter of Jerusalem.

They try to use aid to make millions of dollars because there's such a shortage of goods and prices are so high, some steal aid and sell it in the market.

Others try to take over the supply route so they can resell it.

Her team's success threatened by those

who profit from scarcity.

By flooding the market with free goods, they not only fed families, but also drove down the inflated prices charged for basics like sugar and flour.

If there's no sugar in Gaza and we bring it in for free, they can't keep selling it at outrageous prices.

So we became their problem.

Israeli authorities also tried to cut off these private sector schemes by shutting down the routes that allowed commercial profiteering.

Now, listen to that.

Did you hear?

Have you heard that anywhere, New York Times?

While this helped curb some corruption, it also made the remaining humanitarian channels more dangerous.

The private sector was blocked, and so those who lost their profits started trying harder to threaten and infiltrate the humanitarian route.

They couldn't control it, so they tried to break it and me.

The attacks on her came quickly.

I began receiving death threats, not just from Gaza, but from the West Bank.

Heartbreakingly, some came from people I once trusted.

One of the most painful betrayals came from somebody close to her.

She said, I even discovered that I was in a relationship full of lies.

That person was part of a gang that wanted to exploit the aid operation, and he tried to use me too, but I stood firm.

I made sure he and people like him never got near it.

And now my life is at risk because I refuse to let the private sector hijack aid for commercial gain or let political actors bend it to serve their goals.

The families she helps are the reason she refuses to quit.

She said, We've created a distribution model based on verified beneficiary lists using ID ID checks to ensure fair and dignified access to food.

People stood in line calmly, organized, and even in impossible conditions.

That's something the media just doesn't show, the dignity and patience of the people.

Now,

why isn't everyone covering this woman?

I want to get this woman on the phone if possible.

I want to talk to this woman.

I would feel very comfortable in helping raising money for her.

She's somebody who understands that there is a problem.

That's the only reason why people are not saying,

hey,

we can only do so much with the food thing in Gaza because it's hijacked.

It's hijacked and used for political purposes.

Do you think the Hamas fighters look like the guy in the tunnel?

No, of course not.

Absolutely not.

Why?

Because they have the food.

They're only giving it to people they want to give it to.

They're controlling everything.

They're, honestly, Hamas, they're animals.

They're animals.

But I don't have a problem with people from Gaza, children, women.

I don't know if they're part of Hamas or what, but I mean, I don't mind helping feed them if...

The food is actually being distributed, but it hasn't been.

This woman seems to be distributing the food, carving out a lifeline, and risking her life to do it.

Thank you, Fox News, for bringing this story to my attention.

It's fabulous.

Fabulous.

All right, back in just a second.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It is the Burna Launcher.

When you think about protecting your family, what are your options?

Maybe you have a baseball bat under the bed.

Maybe you got a firearm in a lockbox.

But there's a huge gap in the middle, and that's wishful thinking and lethal force.

The middle ground is where a lot of people, that gap is where reality hits.

This is exactly where the Burna launcher comes in.

The Burna Compact Launcher is a non-lethal self-defense tool that gives you a powerful option in a dangerous situation.

You know, I carry a gun because I will shoot to kill when it's my life or my family's life at stake.

But there are many times, you know, you stand there and you're like, why didn't somebody do something about it?

Because I'm not sure I know all of the facts.

When you pull a gun out, I've been been trained, only pull a gun out and point it at somebody if you intend on killing them.

Well, I don't know if this is a killable offense.

You know, I see somebody being beaten to death, okay, but if I see an altercation, I just kind of like, I don't know, I call 911.

But you can stop a lot of stuff from going on if you have a burn a launcher.

You can protect yourself.

Your wife can feel comfortable pulling this out.

Your kids going to college can feel comfortable pulling out a burn a launcher because it launches tear gas.

That changes the dynamics on everything.

It's legal in all states.

You don't need a permit.

Just go to burna.com, learn more.

Try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse location near you.

Sportsman's Warehouse has it.

You can, they'll demonstrate it for you.

It's an amazing gun.

Burna, B-Y-R-N-A.com.

Burna.com.

Go there now.

10 seconds and then back with the program.

Okay.

Stu, how do you feel about that?

Any more specific than just the aid worker that is opening up the routes, would you donate to that woman?

An aid worker who's opening

or Hamas.

Yeah, I mean, no.

Not Hamas, but Gaza.

You You know, I don't know.

No?

You wouldn't?

No.

Why?

I'm very hesitant to donate to anything in that general vicinity, honestly.

There's some of the things that I've seen.

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.

This is a woman who seems to be working with the Israeli government.

Yeah, I appreciate the effort for sure.

Yeah, I do too.

And I want to do something to be able to help, but I don't believe, I don't, I mean, look at,

you know, just last week they were releasing all these pictures of the starving children, and we find out that's not what those are.

That's not what that is.

That's incredible.

I mean, it's incredible, especially when you follow up with the actual pictures of the hostages that are still being kept

and tortured and starved, actually starving.

And the coverage difference, right, is complete.

There's almost no coverage at all of the actual hostages being starved to death in Gaza.

And kids who have various different separate ailments who are not starving, and their parents standing right there next to them who also are not starving.

And that has been the narrative for weeks.

I don't know.

I mean, and when you add on the fact that Hamas

is so confident that they will win with the media, that they will put out videos of starving in the middle of their big PR victory.

They will put out videos of them starving Israeli hostages to death and have no qualms as to whether this will wind up hurting their effort.

They're so confident in the media and the way this will be handled, and it will be blamed on Israel.

So, I mean, I think, you know,

that is an amazing statement.

And it's the same calculation they made, by the way, before October 7th, which is we can film all of this.

We can brag to each other.

We can put stuff on social media showing that we're murdering these people and we'll still win the PR battle.

So it's it's almost impossible.

I mean, pardon me, we were talking about this a little bit off the air.

Like, you know,

both the UK and France are like, we're going to recognize the Palestinians as

a nation state.

We're going to reward them for their October 7th efforts, essentially.

You know, if I were Israel, I would just be so frustrated with this.

I mean, it shouldn't be left to some private individual to do things like this.

Hey, hey, France.

You want to go in there and get your people shot when you're delivering aid?

You go ahead.

Good luck with that.

We'll check to make sure you're not smuggling weapons in, which is honestly a real possibility.

But after that, you walk your people in there.

You deal with all that.

They're not going to.

No.

And the reason why they're not going to is

they're French.

But B,

the fact that they have to appease their own people now.

They will have riots on the streets

if

they don't do it exactly right, if they're not

seen seen as opposing Israel, et cetera, et cetera,

and they're France.

They're never going to get involved in that.

So they have to condemn Israel without actually doing anything about it.

They'll never do it.

And they should.

They should.

You care, then you should feed.

Because there is, as we pointed out last week, we're sure there is

hunger.

How much of it is caused by Hamas?

Glenn Beck.

All right.

Let me tell you about RealEstate Agentsitrust.com.

Trust me, Tanya and I are in the middle of a big move right now.

And we used one of the real estate agents that we have here in Florida, Real Estate Agents I Trust, and

she was fabulous.

I mean, we've gone back and forth about moving to Florida for the last few years.

And, I mean, she's just put up with nonsense.

And we were like,

I don't know.

And she found us the perfect house.

And we're like, okay, all right, we'll do it.

And she has been so unbelievable.

Did I say her name yet?

Lisa True.

She is, she was so fabulous getting everything done and made everything so painless.

I mean, there were a few times we called to apologize.

We're like, we're sorry.

I'm really sorry.

It's taking so long.

We just,

she was not the holdup.

We were the holdup.

If you want somebody who actually listens to you, because that's one thing she did, she listened to us and then she found the perfect house.

Took a while because of us, but she found the perfect house.

If you want the perfect moving experience, go to realestateagentsitrust.com and find a real estate agent like I have here in Florida.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We're glad that you're here.

Thank you so much for listening.

So Microsoft has just

issued the top 10 jobs that show the strongest overlap with chatbot technology.

So, in other words, these are the jobs you don't want to study for.

Okay?

I find

I find one of these stunning.

Interpreters and translators.

Got it.

I mean, have you seen the

translation bots now that are out there?

Real time?

Phenomenal.

There's no, yeah, I mean, it sucks, but if you've dedicated your life to this, but it's going to be hard to find widespread use for those skills in the future.

Yeah.

Then you also have passenger attendance.

Is that like a stewardess?

Passenger attendance?

Attendance.

Passenger attendance.

Attendance.

I don't even know what that is, so I do need a translator.

Yeah, I mean, is that the new.

So it was stewardess, then it was flight attendant?

Flight attendant, that's right.

And then now I guess they're passenger attendant?

I guess passenger attendant, I guess it applies to airlines, trains, buses,

ferries.

I have yet to see the passenger attendant on a bus.

That's a good point.

Can I get some orange juice for you, sir?

Now, I've met some wonderful drug dealers on buses, but not as many I don't consider them to be passenger attendants.

I don't know what that is.

That's interesting.

I've never heard that phrase before.

Neither have I.

Is that more politically correct?

Is that what that is?

Like, you're we don't want to do we don't want to join it's not just for flight anymore.

Did you ask Chat GPT?

Yeah, it says it says airlines, flight attendant, trains, conductor or attendant, and buses slash ferries.

Why?

Why wouldn't you need a person?

Well, anyway.

I wouldn't you think I guess maybe you're getting on.

I don't know.

I really, like, you think those things are physical, like someone delivering a drink to me on a plane is not something that a chat bottom is.

I'm not going to do it.

It's weird.

And I don't trust any plane that, you know, it's putting robots in all of the key positions.

You know, the airline's like, nah, it's safe.

It's totally fine.

You know, you put your own people on here then.

I will say, though, you've made the argument, and I think this is accurate, that people not in the not too distant future will start saying, wait a minute, you want a human to do that?

I want the robot to do that.

This is going to reverse as AI gets better.

You know, if that's true, then I want, as let's say you work for Delta, your only job as a board of director is

to sit on a flight every day.

Every day, you have to be on a flight.

I want somebody up towards the front.

They don't have to do anything.

Yeah, and by the way, that's a United Airlines board of director right there.

So I know they care about safety still.

You know what I mean?

Let's see.

Sales representatives and services.

I guess.

I guess, maybe.

Certainly for like cold calls and stuff, right?

Like AI is going to do all.

I mean, human beings hate doing that too and hate receiving them.

But that's going to be all handled by AI if it's not mostly already.

Writers and authors.

Holy cow.

That's not good.

Customer service representatives.

Those are almost all gone.

CNC tool programmers.

Telephone operators.

I thought we put those guys out of business like 1978.

Can you push zero and get an operator?

Is that possible?

Ticket agents and travel clerks.

That makes sense.

Broadcast announcers and radio DJs.

Yes.

Wow.

We've eliminated

that and writers.

We've eliminated our entire careers here in this particular session.

Well, I'm about to eliminate another one.

Oh, good.

Historians.

Oh, wow.

That one, I don't understand.

That's terrifying.

That's terrifying.

I do not want AI controlling history.

You know what I mean?

We can make a suggestion here and there, but who programmed that thing?

Well, you mean,

you know, correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't know how much you could talk about this, but correct me if I'm wrong.

That's one of the things you're looking to address here in the very near future.

You're trying to look at how history and AI are going to work together and trying to do something about it before it's too late.

Yes, it's exactly what we're doing.

Exactly what we're doing.

And that's one of the reasons why we're doing it is because I don't want AI telling me what history is.

Where are you getting that input?

Where is that coming from?

What does your programming say?

Oh,

you change history and you can change the world.

I think that's very dangerous.

Very, very dangerous.

Very dangerous because, you know, again,

think of all the times we've learned things about history from people who, for years and years and years, were shunned as heretics, essentially, who were lying and giving alternate histories that weren't accurate.

And then we'd find documents and all these things would support it.

ChatGPT and all these other companies are largely going to just go to the widely accepted history,

which probably includes a good hefty teaspoon of the 1619 project.

Yep.

And what does that mean for the future?

And what lessons are we going to learn?

Our kids are going to learn their history from people who don't know anything about it.

Garbage.

Can I tell you something?

Speaking of historians and learning different things,

I don't want to tell you what this is because it is so controversial.

David Barton came to me, he's researching something from the 20th century, and he said,

Glenn,

how do you feel about this event?

And I said, oh,

how much do you know about this event?

I said, well, I mean, I think I know enough.

And he's like, yeah.

And what's your opinion on this event?

And I was very strong on my opinion.

He said, yeah.

That's where I was.

And I said, what do you mean?

He said, I'm researching something for a new book.

And he said,

this was like just one little part of this book.

And he said, I really didn't think it would take me long to put this together.

He said, and then we started going back through the original documents and the original data and really doing our homework.

And he said, which we do on all of it.

And he said,

I think we're wrong.

And I said,

oh, no, David.

No, no, no, no.

No, we're not wrong.

And he's like, no, I think we are.

And we're in the popular position.

We're in the one that, like, you don't want to have have the other position.

And he said, um, could you just go over all of this with me to make sure?

And I'm like, Yeah, I'm going to grab Stu too, because we should have a lot of people that just like to dig, dig at things and tear things apart.

Because Stu, if he's right about that, I don't even want to say it.

I don't even want to say it.

If he's right, and he thinks he's right,

and he's like, Ah,

this really changes history and not in a way that we want it to.

You know what I mean?

That's how I said to David, I said, you don't, you weren't looking for that, were you?

And he's like, no, I didn't know any of this.

He's like, Glenn, I, I don't, I mean, this, this is horrible.

This is horrible

that this would be reversed.

And I'm like, well, you got to do what you got to do.

That's how you know it's an honest historian when they're like, oh,

I don't want that to be true.

It's crazy.

Wow.

I'm very intrigued now.

I mean, inadvertently, David did a very good book promo here because I'm now very interested in reading whatever is coming.

Oh, yeah.

No, it's, I mean,

I am too.

I am too.

And I'm very intrigued how that.

That turncoat, David Barton, just went crazy there in the end.

No, no, no.

We all saw it coming.

We just didn't want to say it

until the book is released.

I guess

that's what we'll say.

But if he has the right opinion here, this could be the big turnaround for David Barton from

outed terrorist, which he's been discussing in the past.

And then I'm sure the media will embrace him and love him if he says the right thing.

So that'll be fascinating to watch.

No.

No?

No.

I think this is an opinion that everybody has.

This won't be popular with anyone.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

I mean, it's, wow.

But it's coming up next year.

And

I commend him for, I mean, he is struggling with it so hard.

He's like, I got to find, I got to find where this falls apart, please.

And he keeps, I keep asking him, so how's that going?

He's like, I keep finding more evidence that it's true.

And he's, I mean, he is deep, deep in this subject.

I can't wait to hear about it.

Yeah, we'll see.

So anyway,

interpreters, translators, historians, passenger attendants, sales representatives, writers, authors, that's scary, customer service representatives, CNC tool programmers, telephone operators, ticket agents, travel clerks, and broadcast announcers and radio DJs.

You're going to, according to Microsoft, you're going to be the first that go

in

the job market.

I think historians is probably the one that scares me the most out of that.

Yeah.

Though I will say writers and authors is, if it's not a close second, if it's not tied tied for first, it's a close second.

Yeah, I agree.

I'm okay with all.

We're broadcast announcers.

So, I mean, that doesn't scare me.

But historians and number two, writers and authors, and everything else, I'm like, yeah, I could have seen that coming.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

And it's not vital.

I mean, it's going to lose.

There are a lot of jobs that are going to be lost.

So it's vital on that.

But it's not like, that's dangerous.

And I think historians and writers and authors is dangerous.

Right, Right, that's let it go.

It forms a culture.

It forms a nation state.

It forms traditions and foundations and values and, you know, all that stuff.

And not to mention, you know, one of the big problems with these chatbots is they're just, you know, and

the artists are complaining about this constantly.

They're just taking everybody else's work.

right

and ingesting it and then sort of spitting it back out at you.

And at some point, if the new authors are all replaced by chat GPT, you have nothing new.

You're just getting

different versions of what's already been ingested, you know, modified in certain ways, and they can spit out different varieties of it.

But like, what's the, you know, like,

we, we're going to, there's going to be, it's going to be like Hollywood, where we're just getting sequels to crappy old, you know, movies rather than new, innovative, interesting thoughts.

I think what you're missing here, though, is the prompter.

prompter.

You know, taking classes in prompting is probably going to be something of the future.

Maybe.

You just have to know how to prompt.

So I don't think when it says author, I'm not sure that you're not going to get new creative human thought saying, hey, investigate this or do this

and shaping it because

prompting is a very large part of that.

And that still comes from humans,

sure.

But I think

I'm concerned, at least, that you're talking about the current

situation in which a lot of people who were brought up under

a world where they're being individually creative are now inspiring AI to help them be more productive.

And you can really see how there'd be a benefit to that.

But once you have a generation that's been doing this and didn't go through that process and wrote

all of their their papers throughout their lives

through AI and prompting it, then you're to a period where they didn't,

how are they going to inspire the new thought when they never went through that process like everybody else did?

I mean, again.

See, I guess that's another thing that we're trying to take care of with the torch is that.

Always use it as a tool.

Never let it use you as a tool.

Yeah.

And I'm not a techno-pessimist here.

I'm not like, I don't think there's going to be nothing good from this.

And usually what happens with technology is you get to these things and all of those worries wind up working themselves out and we get good things out of it and bad things out of it and human life goes on.

So, you know, it's probably the most likely outcome.

But I do worry about that.

When you see people already

just

abandoning their minds,

they just don't, all they think about is what to type into this thing, and it tells them the answer and they just believe it's true.

It's why professors and everybody in universities universities are now saying

their class, you know,

the professor would get their papers back and it's all great.

And then they take a final exam and they're all dummies.

They have no idea what they're even talking about.

And he's like, there's no way the dummies could have written the papers that you wrote.

So you didn't do any of the work.

You let ChatGPT do all of the work.

And then you had to go take the final exam and you knew nothing.

I mean, imagine the people who are now cheating

on medicine.

I mean, I hope that thing is so buttoned up that, you know, nobody's getting through that, you know, skated with chat GPT.

Because think about, I mean, some of the things that are

that are so critical to mankind that you don't want cheaters involved in.

All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Relief Factor, you woke up this morning, you realized there was new pain in your body.

You didn't order it.

You don't remember paying for it, and you certainly don't want to keep it.

But that's what happens sometimes.

You're just living your life, minding your own business, and then, ah, a shoulder decides to hold a protest.

A knee files a grievance.

Your back refuses to participate in basic human activities.

We've all done it.

We ignore it.

We laugh about it.

We blame the mattress or the weather or whatever.

But deep down, we all know what it is.

It's inflammation, and it is not going away on its own.

This is why you should take Relief Factor.

I take it every day.

It's a daily supplement developed by doctors to actually tackle the root cause of pain, and it helps your body do what it was built to do, heal itself, and move on without complaint.

So, if your body has been grumbling lately, maybe it's time to start listening and start doing something about it.

And this is where Relief Factor comes in.

It works.

Give their three-week quick start a try for only $19.95.

Visit ReliefFactor.com.

You'll see results within three weeks.

And if you don't stop taking it, give it a three-week try.

800 for Relief.

800, the number four relief.

Common sense ain't common anymore, is it?

Time to wake up and wrangle the sheep.

Glenn Beck continues next.

Most people don't even know this is a thing, but your home, the house you live in right now, can actually be stolen.

And, you know, obviously not the bricks and the wood of it, but the legal ownership of that home.

And it doesn't take a break-in or a crowbar to do it.

All it takes is a hacker with access to your county records, forged signature baby, a few minutes of

their time on your identity theft.

And once they have your title, they can borrow against your home and they can drain your equity.

The equity that you spent years and years and years building, all while you sit there kind of completely unaware until the collection notices start rolling in.

It's called title fraud.

It is one of the fastest growing cybercrimes in America.

But the good news is it is preventable.

Home Title Lock scans your title 24-7.

They watch for any sign of tampering or transfer.

If anyone tries to mess with your deed, even if it's just a clerical error, they will alert you immediately and help you take action to shut it down.

You insure your car, you insure your health, your home is your most valuable asset, and it makes sense to protect the legal rights to that as well.

And these days, really,

you know, doing nothing is pretty risky.

So you should really think about what you can do to stop this.

And home title lock is certainly the easiest way to do it.

AI is out there.

It's changing the world.

We were just talking about that.

Don't let it change the name on your home's title.

Stu found a 43-year-old news report from Dan Rather,

43 years old,

and it says, thanks to the greenhouse effect and global warming and our irresponsibility with carbon,

apparently it predicted that by now 25% of Florida would be underwater.

You'd be gargling this morning trying to do the program, Glenn.

You'd be underwater.

Wait until you hear this report.

Amazing.

43 years old.

Also, the woman from the Cincinnati Brawl speaks for the first time

and so much more.

Not a good idea, really.

No, honestly.

I apparently was not listening to you, apparently.

Apparently not.

All right, this is not going to age well is something that should have been said to Dan Rather about 43 years ago.

Stu just found this video.

Yeah, it kind of went viral actually over the weekend and I happened to notice it and it was just a callback of, you know, it's interesting to always look back at what people were saying.

The people you were supposed to understand and trust had

the evidence about what could go on in the future.

They outline many, many times what they believe is going to happen.

And

every once in a while, they are a little too specific.

Like they get into specifics.

If you're going to make claims of future doom, the appropriate way, if you want to maintain your

safe face if things go wrong, is to kind of keep it general and vague, which a lot of times they'll do in the global warming world.

Sure.

They'll say, you know, really bad things are coming, and they won't be particularly specific, just general horror is around the corner.

And they'll do it within 100 years.

You'll see the beginning of this in 100 years.

So all of us will be dead.

Yeah.

So, Dan Rather, this is back in the 80s,

43 years ago, talking about what was around the corner here with new evidence from scientists and look out for what's coming.

Concern about rising temperatures on planet Earth heated up a hearing here in Washington today.

For years, scientists have theorized about the dangers of the so-called greenhouse effect, the warming of the Earth's atmosphere due to the burning of coal and oil.

And in recent months, as David Culhane reports, research has uncovered facts to support that theory.

Many scientists claim that the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere has has been rising over the past 100 years, that the great sheets of pack ice in Antarctica are melting at a much more rapid rate than previously.

Finally, that the sea level has been rising with increasing swiftness over the past 40 years.

If these scientists are correct, about 25% of Florida would be flooded, along with low-lying areas all over the world.

Climate changes could produce widespread disruption of agriculture.

The American farm belt might be too dry, and the wheat and corn crops would have to move to Canada.

Scientists blame the odorless, colorless carbon dioxide gas for these potentially dangerous changes around the planet.

It is the greenhouse effect.

The gas allows sunlight to filter down and warm the Earth.

But like the glass of a greenhouse, the carbon dioxide tends to trap heat so that it cannot rise into space.

Oh, no.

The scientists maintain that the coal, oil, and gas we've been burning for 100 years have produced more and more carbon dioxide and helped overheat the earth.

Now some political leaders endorse the demands for more CO2 monitoring stations like this one in Hawaii.

By the way, the politician they then threw to was Al Cor in 1982 making these claims.

So 25% of Florida underwater.

I don't know, Glenn, if you could look around.

We laughed because it showed the map of the United States and then it showed the map of Florida and Florida was just like this little stick that came out of the bottom.

Yes.

It's ridiculous.

It was like America had a bike stand all of a sudden.

It's just ridiculous.

Yeah, you'd basically, only if you were in central Florida would you

have any civilization left.

Disney.

Yep.

Disney.

You see, we would not have any agriculture.

in our country.

All of it would have to go to Canada,

which you might note, I mean, considering we've been talking a lot about international trade lately, we actually have a we produce a heck of a lot when it comes to agriculture here in this country.

All of these claims, of course, didn't come true.

In fact,

the coastline of Florida remains one of the best places to buy a home in the country and most expensive places to buy a home in the country.

People are moving to Florida by the millions.

You know,

if global warming was true and the coastlines were going away, No bank and no insurance company in the world would underwrite a loan.

Right.

No, nobody would.

Nobody would.

Why would you write a 25-year mortgage on a house that if in 25 years, it's going to be 10 feet underwater?

That'd be the dumbest thing you could ever do.

Why would you do it?

Yeah.

Because they know.

Because when the, you know, money doesn't talk, it screams.

And when money is still saying, no, go ahead, build there and 25-year loan, that's fine.

You know, this is a bunch of bullcrap.

It's just bullcrap.

Yeah, these aren't small investments.

You You know, back in 30 years after this Dan Rather report, you wrote a book that was a bestseller for, you know, for a while called An Inconvenient Book.

And

there was a chapter about global warming.

It wasn't all about Al Gore's.

It wasn't a parody of Al Gore's book, but that was the first chapter in the book.

And the picture that was taken for

the first page of that was a picture of the Miami skyline, which is, you know, back, this is 2006-ish, maybe, and is just flooded with cranes.

All you see is cranes all over the entire skyline.

There's so much construction going on in Miami, you can't believe it.

Now, of course, a couple of years after that, there was 2008, there was a collapse.

We've had COVID in between there.

And in between this entire period, there have been multiple additional construction booms in Miami.

The picture that is in that book is so outdated, there's double and triple the amount of skyscrapers that have been built in this area.

No.

It's underwater.

No, yeah, if it was going to be underwater, if people actually believed it was going to be underwater, there's no way they would be investing this type of money into developing Miami and other coastline communities.

It would make no sense.

They all know this isn't true, or they believe that humanity will come up with a solution to it, right?

Which is also a real possibility.

Like there are times where there have been, I mean, there are lots of areas that have problems with flooding that have been, generally speaking, controlled because of human innovation.

This is usually what happens in these situations.

So even if they're right, I mean, I don't think 25% of Florida has any chance of being underwater.

But even if

that problem gets worse and sea levels do rise a few more inches than expected, humanity typically has a way of dealing with that.

So I had Mark Levin on, who lives in Florida.

I had him on, what, Friday, I think?

And I said, hey, you know, we're neighbors.

I'm going to be moving to Florida.

And he said, Where are you going to move to?

And I said, Well, and I started answering.

He's like, Maybe we should have this conversation off the air.

So we got off the air, and I'm talking to him.

And he said, Where do you live?

And I told him, and he said, You got to be kidding me.

What street?

And I told him, We are 20 houses apart from each other.

Oh, you're kidding.

We live on the same street, about 20 houses apart.

No,

we do.

Is that not crazy?

That is bizarre.

I had no idea.

That is bizarre.

So bizarre.

And I said, you know, I said to the real estate agent, you weren't going to tell me that, you know, crotchety Mark Levin lives on a.

I can hear it at night.

I can open up the patio door and I hear, I can't even believe it.

Well, I know where I'm going trick-or-treating this year.

That's going to be the fun neighborhood.

Yeah, it'll be a fun neighborhood.

So

I wanted to make sure, because we just moved to Florida, and I wanted to make sure that I didn't live live in an HOA because I hate HOAs.

And my real estate agent said, Uh, they don't have an HOA, but they do have a lighting thing.

And I like, what do you mean, a lighting thing?

Well, they're a little strict on the lights.

And I'm like, the lights?

She's like, yeah, you know, lighting outside, you know, light pollution, blah, blah, blah.

And I'm like, all right.

I didn't pay attention to it.

Sure.

I just got

the

self-certification form.

Let me see here.

Cut sheets depicting lighting details and site plans showing the lighting locations must be submitted.

All lighting shall be designed to prevent misdirected and excessive artificial light.

A point source of light and any reflective surface of the light fixture shall not be directly visible from outside the property line.

That includes, without limitation, eave lights, tree-mounted lighting, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and gate keypads.

All, I mean, I've never even thought about, you know, you've had a keypad or something, and I've never thought of how much light those things are throwing off.

Do you?

It's like, no.

Hey, and watch your dashboard lights.

Have you?

Let's see.

Light trespass into adjacent properties.

What is it?

Light trespass?

Light pass?

I had to look it up.

What do you think it means?

Into adjacent properties.

I mean, are they saying that you have a light on in your property and somehow the light can be seen?

Seen?

That is my light trespassing into somebody else's yard.

Oh, my gosh, you're kidding me?

No.

Light trespass into adjacent properties and public rights away,

including the road,

shall be limited to 0.2 foot candles measured at the property line.

I don't even know what a foot candle is.

You don't even get a full foot candle out of this.

No, I don't report

0.2 foot candles how bright is that do you have you figured this out okay you ready yeah so a foot candle is the light that a candle a like a legitimate 1800s candle would throw off a foot away

a candle

oh my god so i get point two point two

candles of a candle a foot away from the candle okay

that's insane i don't even know know.

Is that like a spark?

What?

What?

What is even like that?

That's amazing.

How could you possibly...

I mean,

is this just a general guideline and they're not going to actually pay attention to it?

No.

No, I've been told, oh, no, they're dead serious.

Let's see.

Maximum lumens per single fixture is 1,000.

Now, I don't know what a lumen is.

I left my lumen counter at home.

You know, It didn't make the move.

Do you happen to have yours, Stu?

I don't.

No, unfortunately.

So a maximum lumen per single fixture outside of your house or that can be seen from your house is 1,000 lumens.

I looked that up.

That's a 60-watt light bulb.

Wow.

A 60-watt light.

They're concerned about

light pollution, apparently.

A 60-watt light bulb?

I'm going to need glasses to live here.

Like, seriously, I'm not going to be able to see anything.

There's a whole street just people walking into trees.

I mean,

there's just no light in this neighborhood at all.

Crazy.

I mean, I can understand you don't want like super bright LED, you know, street lamps and all that.

Like, you know,

it can be annoying.

It says high-intensity bulbs such as high-pressure sodium and mercury vapor bulbs are prohibited.

Okay, well,

I don't know when I've gone ever ever into a store and said, do you have any mercury vapor bulbs?

You know,

I get that.

I get that.

But, wow.

Wow, pretty serious.

Pretty decent.

And then you're going to find out the person who put all these regulations in, Mark Levin.

He was the guy who was like, I don't want any lumens.

Daniel Lee.

he had 0.3 foot candles

or candle feet or whatever it is.

I think it is funny.

I read this yesterday to my wife, and I'm like, I don't know what any of this is.

Can we go to the Home Depot and get a lumen counter?

I mean, how do you measure that?

How do you measure that?

Do you have, do they have like a little box that they just walk around with?

And like, yeah, you're at 0.3

candle feet.

i mean what what i can't even imagine i mean i it it feels like one of those things hopefully it's like one of those things where

no one really addresses it unless you break the rule really badly nope like someone complains right nope

nope i will tell you that i i got there the first night and i looked up at the sky and i was like wow this sky look at look at the stars you can see the stars here and And I'm thinking, you know, I'm not even doing the, you know, how many lumens the neighbor has and that there's no light trespass anywhere in the neighborhood.

And I'm looking up at the sky and I'm like, it is so dark here.

It is just spectacular.

You can see the stars.

Then the next day I'm like, oh, but, you know, we can't see the sidewalk,

but we can see the stars.

Okay.

Well,

this is, this is,

I feel like there's a big lawsuit coming from you on foot candles and lumens.

Yeah, I

there is a candle feet.

I don't know what it is.

I don't know, but I get.

Okay.

At least they can't tell me how big my flagpole can be.

That's a deal breaker.

Can you make a big LED light up flagpole?

Like that just.

You know what?

You know what it says?

What?

Flagpoles.

are exempted because of state laws.

So

I could have a mercury vapor bulb right there shining up the light on the flag.

So, oh, and don't think I won't at least consider it.

I'll at least consider it.

All right, let me see.

I want to play this audio from this woman from Cincinnati

that we saw her.

I mean, I thought they killed her.

I thought they killed her.

There's this group of people that just go crazy on this couple.

And

she

just got out of the hospital she looks a lot better still bad but a lot better than she did uh and uh i want to play this video for you here in just a second standby first

Sue,

Harry Anton

on CNN, he's the data guy over there.

Do you like him?

Do you think he's pretty good?

I think he's actually pretty good.

I mean, again, you know, doesn't agree with, you know, conservatives on anything, doesn't agree with liberals on anything.

That's what I wanted of a data guy.

So he was going through the data on

Donald Trump, and he said he has been tremendously influential to a historic degree.

He said, like it or lump it, Trump's remaking the United States of America.

I cannot think of a more influential president during this century.

First of all,

I appreciate the usage of like it or lump it on national broadcast on CNN.

Right.

But I don't think you can argue with that, honestly.

I mean, again,

there are some things that Trump has done that I really love, some I really not such a big fan of, but like, I don't understand how you could argue he's not incredibly influential.

He's basically

taken over an entire party and shifted it on massive parts of its.

It's not just the party.

He undid the

fundamental transformation of America.

He's undoing that.

That's a massive accomplishment.

Right.

The border, a massive accomplishment.

What was this news from the border today?

The border is down to

negative immigration.

There's like

no one was turned away and no one was turned into the country and led into the country that we know of.

Nobody was like released into the country.

And they think that the only thing that's gone across the border are people leaving.

So it's negative.

Yeah, I think they're saying basically

not that no one has been has crossed the border, but that more have been deported and have left with

self-deportation than have crossed in, right?

It's a net negative.

Yeah,

they're not catching anyone and then

turning them loose back into the country.

They're sending them out of the country.

And

the border patrol is doing, like, because they have the resources, doing a fantastic job.

And yes, the number going out is much higher than any number going in.

We're talking not about illegal, I think we're talking about all immigration.

Can you check on that, Stu?

Yeah, I can do that.

Okay, back in just a second.

There is something really disturbing that is happening over in Great Britain that you should be aware of because

it has something to to do with what's happening here in Minnesota and also

in New York.

All right, our sponsor this half hour is Simply Safe.

You know, we live in a world where you can, you can't afford to be naive about security.

Doors locked, it used to mean peace of mind.

I mean, when I was growing up, we never even locked the doors.

Now it's cameras, it's sensors, it's motion detectors.

And not because we're paranoid, but because we're paying attention to what's going on in the world.

Crime is rising.

Police are stretched thin.

And if something happens, you need to know that your family, your home, your sanctuary is protected.

That's why I recommend SimplySafe.

This isn't some overpriced hardwired system from the 1990s.

SimplySafe is smart, modern, and customizable.

So whether it's entry sensors, glass break detectors, HD indoor, outdoor cameras, you set it up yourself.

It takes minutes, no strangers in your home, no confusing contracts, no installation fees.

And here's something I think you're gonna love the most: if something triggers that system, they have a 24-7 monitoring professional group that will spring into action.

They are actually watching.

An alarm goes off, they see it, they call police immediately to double verify the alarm.

It's every story we talk about every day.

How about net migration in the United States?

Get this.

It's down.

It's going to be down at least 60%.

We may be dealing with, get this, negative net migration to the United States in 2025.

That would be the first time there is negative net migration in this country in at least 50 years.

We're talking about down from 2.8 million in 2024.

So Donald Trump has always run on tariffs and he's run on a hawkish line on immigration.

And on both of those issues, we are seeing record high tariff rates for this century going all the way back, well back back into the early part of the 20th century.

And when it comes to immigration, net migration, we are seeing record low levels way down from where we were during the Obiden administration.

We are potentially looking at negative net migration for the first time in at least 50 years.

Yeah, so that would be.

He goes on to say he thinks he's the most influential president of this century and well into the 20th century.

That's amazing.

Totally fair, right?

I don't even know.

I think so.

I think you'd put Obama in that conversation.

But

I think Trump, especially by the end of, you know, we're only one year into his, not even one year into his second term yet.

I think by the end of this, he'll be obviously ahead.

But I would put him ahead right now.

I think he's changed more.

Oh, yeah, he has.

And he's rolled back the Obama stuff, a lot of it, not all of it.

But then he took some other things on.

Like, I mean, did you see the corporation for a public broadcasting

has closed its door now?

Something Republicans have been trying to get done for as long as I can remember.

Forever.

Forever.

Yep.

Not PBS, not NPR,

the Corporation for Public Broadcasting fired everybody.

They're all out.

They're all out.

They've been in business since 1967 on our dime, but they said no matter how many people tried to help them fund, there's just not enough money to keep that going.

And I say, good.

If the private sector can't do it and there is competition, well, you know, then,

you know, then

maybe we have the government do it.

But when there's competition and the private sector can do it,

no, we shouldn't be paying for it.

You don't think there's a shortage in left-wing media content?

No, I really.

No, I don't.

I don't.

I don't.

I don't.

By the way,

another reason he is so influential,

Senate has confirmed Pirot

as the top federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia.

Janine Pirot.

She's going to be the top federal prosecutor in D.C.

That's quite a change.

Are you talking about Fox News personality, Janine Pirow?

Yes, I am.

I've seen that reported, that they just gave this job to someone who was on Fox News.

They just randomly picked a host from a cable news channel and gave her this job?

That is so weird.

It's almost like maybe the reason she got the job on Fox News was her decades of law enforcement experience.

Right.

This is the same thing they did with Dan Bongino.

They're like, podcaster?

Dan Bongino?

How could he have a job

in law enforcement?

Like the guy came from the Secret Service.

He became a podcaster after that.

You know, my uncle was a homicide detective in New York.

Your uncle?

My uncle?

Yes.

Yes.

He worked under and worked with Janine Pirra when she, you know, back when she was in New York working at that job.

She was, I don't know what job she had, but, you know, she was the big wig.

And he loved her.

Like, he, she was highly respected.

People thought she was incredibly tough.

She was, you know, she made sure that justice was job one.

That's how he described it.

Yeah.

So, you know, again, that's why she's getting this job.

Yeah.

Yes, the Fox News stuff, I think, does help at times,

but that's separate from her law enforcement experience.

She's very good.

It'd be like Megan Kelly.

You know what I mean?

Megan Kelly.

Yeah.

She was a trial attorney for a long time.

Anyway,

let's go.

Also, another reason he's influential.

And this one makes me a little nervous, to be honest with you.

You know, Trump said Russia has 50 days.

Then last week they said, you know what?

Why wait?

He's not doing anything.

He's got 10 days.

Well, that 10 days is coming up this week for Putin to actually sit down and start to negotiate a peace.

And he said, we're going to start.

putting really hefty sanctions on Russia.

And so Medvedev, the guy who is always shooting his mouth off, always,

he said, you know, that, well, that sounds like he wants war and we'll be prepared for war.

And Trump then said, hey, words have actions, and I don't think this is appropriate.

You have to be really careful because you just made a threat.

And so I'm going to move two of our subs

into the waters just off of Russia.

So now two U.S.

nuclear subs are off the coast of Russia.

You know,

I mean, can we all just cool down?

Cool down.

But again, he is operating with a very big stick and saying, look, we're not going to tolerate this.

We can all be reasonable here.

The minute you stop being reasonable, then we got a problem.

And, you know, behave yourself.

And, you know, America hasn't walked like that in a very, very long time.

One of the things that we have to take on, and I would love to see somebody start to take this on,

is the

fact that you're not safe in your own town anymore.

And I think this is changing.

It's slowly changing, but not changing.

I mean, we only have, what?

Three more years of Donald Trump.

If

they come in and change everything, maybe we have a little bit more, not of Donald Trump, but of the same direction at least.

But we may only have three years.

And our police forces, they need backup bad.

Cincinnati, you know, they've lost 200 or 300 cops in the last few years.

They never filled them.

I mean, how are you supposed to run a town losing that number of police officers?

Well, we saw the, you know, the

brawl in the street, and the woman that was I thought they killed her you saw the video you think the same thing when you saw it still when you first see it Yeah, it looked I mean she was knocked out cold

knocked out cold and her eyes were open.

Yeah, that's terrifying.

Yeah, and she hit the she hit the pavement with her head

and it's like I you know they may have killed her.

I know.

I can't believe social media did that to her.

You know, we heard from the police commissioner that social media was responsible.

And I'm just when social media pushed her over and banged her head against the concrete so hard she passed out with her eyes open, that was really a bad job by social media.

Yeah, really, really bad, really bad.

Here she is in Cincinnati.

This is the first time she has spoken.

Listen.

I just want to say thank you so much to everyone for all of the love and support.

It is very humbling.

that

you have said your prayers, your blessings.

It's definitely what's keeping me going.

And

you have just brought back faith and humanity.

So, God bless you all.

Thank you.

I appreciate everything that you're doing for me

and my family.

It's been very, very hard.

And

I'm still recovering.

I still have a very bad brain trauma.

And And it's

thank you.

Thank you, everyone.

That is an amazing statement from her.

Amazing.

How can that be happening?

Seriously,

it's just absolutely awful.

I mean, it is nice that people really have stepped up.

But in a weird way, I mean, that really is the result of social media.

It has Benny Johnson in it.

Yeah, yeah.

I think it was Benny who started GoFundMe.

But without that initial social media footage, which was footage shot by people who were cheering on her attack, right?

But if that didn't get out,

there'd be a police report, a woman was knocked out in the street, and no one would even notice it.

So, in a way, it really has made the situation better.

But

in a very roundabout way,

at least people are able to show her that they care about her and somebody cares about her.

But what's terrible about these things is these events happen and

like they end.

Like our, our, our, our attention to a story like this ends

as a civilization, right?

Like we watch this stuff happen and then there's another thing that happens and then we all move on and she's left dealing with brain injuries, right?

Like this story doesn't just end because she got a few nice donations.

I know with Mercury One, that's been

one of their focuses for a long time since you started it, which was like, hey, North Carolina, you know, North Carolina, we're not just going to leave.

Hey, you know, we're going to, we're going to help these people months and years after the cameras go away.

That's a really tough thing.

And families like this are victims of these attacks.

They wind up having to deal with a really long road.

So hopefully this cushions it a little bit for her.

I will tell you, you know,

when we made the pact to stay, I thought, you know, Nobody, even there, they're not going to notice.

They're not going to notice.

And we don't do it to be noticed or anything else.

I am shocked at how many people that have survived any of the things that Mercury One has been there for, how they always say everyone leaves.

The minute the cameras go off, everyone leaves.

And you guys were the only ones that were still there.

I mean, we're still in Hawaii, you know, from that horrible fire.

We're still helping them out.

We're still in

two states with Hurricane Helene.

We're in Tennessee and North Carolina, still building houses.

I mean, it's really a great thing.

If you, you know, you want to be a part of something that really is bigger than you,

you can be.

You can be.

And that's what I, to me at least, that's what gives life meaning.

And we've never done it for, I mean, somebody was asking me the other day, they're like, how come you don't say this on the air all the time?

And I said, well, I say enough on the air.

We, you know, we make donations.

We do it all through donations.

And they're like, you should promote that.

And I'm like, no, that's not why we do it.

You know, we don't do it to promote.

We do it because it's the right thing.

And I think it makes it better that we're,

you know, we don't come in with the big banners.

And the, you know, somebody said to us, we were on the ground, I don't remember where, and they were like,

do you want us to put up a banner?

And we're like,

no.

We didn't even understand it.

What do you mean, put up a banner?

Why would we put up a banner?

We're here, you know,

they needed money.

And, you know, we were helping this other charity with stuff.

And they needed money.

And we came in and we're like, okay, what do you need?

What are you doing with it?

How is it?

Blah, blah, blah.

And we gave them the money.

And they were like, okay, we'll put up a banner.

Is that what you need?

And we're like, no.

No.

No, we're not.

We don't need to put up a banner.

I think we're okay.

I think we're okay without the banner, but thank you.

It's weird.

By the way, there's a couple of other things.

The Jaguar CEO just stepped out.

And he was the guy,

Adrian Mardell.

He is the guy who was the CEO for three years.

He oversaw the copy nothing

ad with the androgynous males that came out.

There was no car in the commercial.

It was just these people coming out that all you couldn't tell if they were male and female wearing weird outfits.

Oh, that was so weird.

And it felt so out of place time-wise, right?

Like, if you go

too far, it was, it was way past that time.

Way past the mega woke time.

Yeah.

And they came out with this thing and they designed these.

They didn't even put cars in the ad at all, but it was the cars that did come out were very futuristic and kind of weird looking.

He wound up stepping down.

I'm sure they're not admitting the reason for that was this campaign, but that's what everyone is drawing out of it.

Well, of course it is.

They had no sales.

Yeah.

Like their sales went, you know, and hit, just, they just cratered after that.

Yeah.

All right.

Back in just a second.

Let me tell you about our sponsor.

Our sponsor this half hour is Patriot Mobile.

You know, I used to think the phone bill was just a phone bill.

You pay the money, you get the service, and that's the end of the story.

Then you find out where that money, I mean, always follow the money.

That's when everything changes.

Most of the big mobile companies are not just providing service, they are taking your money, and they are, they're, they're like NGOs almost.

They're organizations that they take a good chunk of the money from the monthly bill and they use it to fund political causes and the ones that you're probably fighting against all the time.

They're taking your hard-earned cash and working against the principles.

So, why would you have your mobile service through them?

Why?

Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative wireless provider in America.

They offer great coverage, excellent customer service, and most importantly, they actually support the causes that you believe in.

Religious freedom, sanctity of life, Second Amendment rights, all the amendments.

I'm just

reading this again from my town.

I'm trying to figure out what light I can use.

Lots less or equal in one half an acre, the maximum lumens on it.

I don't even know what a lumen is.

Any lot

less than or equal to half an acre shall not exceed the product of 50,000 lumens per acre multiplied by the lot size in acres.

So if you have 0.3 acre property, you multiply that by 50,000 lumens per acre, and you get 15,000 total lumens, which I don't know what I do with those lumens.

Well, how does lumen convert to foot candle?

I don't even understand.

I totally understand.

I don't even understand.

0.2 foot candles measured at the property line.

I have no idea.

A lot of people writing in saying Rush Limbaugh had a very long, ongoing battle about his exterior lighting as it affected the hatchlings of sea turtles,

which is, I had forgotten about this.

I had completely forgotten about it until I got this, and I'm like, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Oh, yeah.

It should be

good.

But there's two of us now.

I mean, now, Mark Levin lives just a few doors down.

I found out after I bought the house,

lives a few doors down.

So now,

maybe I could get him to explain foot candles.

This is Glenn Beck.
