Democrats: Defending Cheap Labor Since 1810 | Guest: Bill Essayli | 7/22/25

You set the table, put on a playlist, even made the lasagna from scratch, and now you're wearing it.

OxyClean Max Force Spray tackles tough, set-in stains the first time.

Adulting is hard.

Fighting stains shouldn't be.

OxyClean Max Force.

It's not clean unless it's OxiClean.

I want to talk to you a little bit about our sponsor.

It's Burn a Launcher.

Sometimes there's a bad guy out there, and the only way to stop him is with a gun.

A big supporter of guns, big supporter of your right to protect yourself with a firearm.

However,

Second Amendment rights matter.

There is also

the idea that not every bad guy needs to be killed to be stopped.

That's why I also carry a Burna launcher.

It's a non-lethal self-defense tool that fires high-velocity pepper rounds.

If somebody comes at you with bad intent, this will shut them down fast without putting you in a situation that you can't undo later.

You don't need a permit.

It's legal in all 50 states, looks like a firearm, feels like a firearm, but it gives you the option that isn't deadly force.

And sometimes a bad guy just needs to be stopped, stopped, not killed, just stopped.

Burna will give you that option.

Right now, Burna.com, you'll get a 10% discount off your purchase.

This isn't a podcast.

This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.

So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.

Rate, review, share.

Together, we'll make a difference.

And thanks for standing with us.

Now let's get to work.

Down the road where shadows hide, fill the dark on every side.

Stand your ground when times get tight.

Gotta face the dark and embrace embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Glad you're here.

There's a lot to talk about.

I want to start with a theory that maybe

we haven't taken enough time to just recognize what's happened in the last six months.

I don't know if this is true.

I'm seeing the poll numbers and the president is upside down on almost everything except one in the latest poll,

except for immigration.

And I don't understand it.

And maybe it's because

as conservatives, have we become the fast food generation as well?

We're like, yeah, I know, I got that in two minutes, but why hasn't it been 90 seconds?

Let's talk about this.

I'd love to hear your opinion on it.

We begin in just a second.

First, let me tell you about Good Ranchers.

Sure, you made some bad decisions in your life.

You once owned a Pontiac Aztec, you know, on purpose.

You tried to cut your own hair during quarantine two times.

There was that phase that you went through where you thought Birkin stocks were fashion forward, but, you know, there's one decision that maybe you've made that you're still too ashamed to admit.

And you can barely say it out loud, but, you know, I'll say it.

You bought meat at the grocery store.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You didn't know any better back then.

But you've grown, you've learned, like the Birkenstocks.

Hopefully, you've repented.

Hopefully, now you get your meat from good ranchers.

100% American meat, born, raised, and harvested right here.

Guaranteed, delivered right to your door.

Beef, chicken, seafood, all of it.

People don't understand.

By the end of this program, another farm, another ranch will go out of business in America.

Why are we importing our meat?

We've got to be able to feed ourselves.

Please support your ranches and your own farmers here in America.

This summer, you can subscribe to any Good Ranchers box and get your pick of free meat for life.

That's free wagu burgers, hot dogs, bacon, or chicken wings in every box for the life of your subscription.

Hello, Stu.

How are are you?

Great, Glenn.

How are you?

Very good.

You know, we were talking yesterday.

How do we get up on this subject?

That maybe we are,

have we become numb

to how fast big things are happening?

Like

things we never thought would ever happen as a conservative?

It's overwhelming.

I don't even know that it's our fault.

And there's so much stuff going on all the time that I, I mean, I think it's going to be overwhelming for the average person.

We're looking at things, and I think rightfully so.

I'm very upset still about the way the

Epstein thing rolled out.

I still am watching that closely.

I'm still, you know, watching, you know, what Tulsi Gabbard rolled out.

Is anything going to happen with that?

I think that is shocking news, but let's see if anything happens.

But

why are we always getting why are we getting bogged down on things like that?

They're very important.

It goes to the trust of the United States.

Yeah.

However, we're not sitting.

You said to me one time, you're like, Glenn,

can we take a moment and just admire the accomplishment we all just made?

Because

I'm the kind of guy who will do something great.

And while it's on stage, I'm like, okay.

Here's what we're going to do next time.

Here's the next five years of events.

Yeah, here's what we're going to do next time.

And you said to me one time in real frustration,

we just did the impossible.

Can you just take a minute?

And I'm like, yeah, you're right.

So maybe we should say that to America.

Can we just take a minute and look at what has been happening in our country in the last six months?

Start with sports.

This is from an article from Chris Bedford in the Blaze.

We're finally living through a conservative revolution we've always needed.

Now listen to this.

Start with sports.

The rights victory in pushing back gender ideology on this front marks a turning point.

Now,

remember, five years ago,

none of us had ever heard,

we had never really considered 90 different genders, right?

Being taught to our children in school.

We never even thought it would be reality that the government could take our children in school, indoctrinate them, then give them a sex change without us even knowing it.

All of that has stopped.

The ideology in sports, not just because it helps women, not because it polls well, it matters because it's the first real cultural win for truth

that we have had.

as Chris said, in my adult life.

Without that kind of victory, without truth, nothing else can be fixed.

We now have changed from a government that could not identify a Supreme Court justice,

and we've seen how good she is now, huh?

A Supreme Court justice says, I can't identify.

I don't know.

I'm not a scientist.

I don't know how to define a woman.

We've gone from that to, that's a chick, dude.

That's a chick.

We've, I mean, we have taken the government and our schools and totally turned that around in six months.

I don't know.

I think that's a pretty big,

a pretty big thing.

Remember, you couldn't say

that that was anything other than a beautiful woman if it was a dude.

You couldn't say that.

You'd be shut down.

I couldn't have had this conversation without massive pushback with you.

Now, I don't care because we're independent, but the pushback five, six years ago, if I would have said, you know, no,

sorry,

you wouldn't get that pushback from this audience, but you would probably

have to be aware of it.

You would not be able to, like, there was a time where a conversation as obvious as this would, if you posted it on certain social medias, would get you your kind of

suspended or banned.

Yes.

Just not that long ago.

We were having bans.

Four years ago, we were under bans on several different platforms.

We did.

We should point out, we did it anyway.

Yeah.

We'll bash our face again.

Brick wall over and over again about

malice.

Right.

But it was something that was happening to people all over the country.

Now,

Chris points out: let's not forget over the last four years, welfare roles soared, government job numbers got a boost, but it was mainly foreign workers.

White men ages 50 to 65 were not getting hired.

The border was wide open.

Crime everywhere, tolerated, even sanctified, as if letting it happen was the morally right thing to do.

In the six months since the inauguration of Donald Trump, he has sealed the border.

On a shoestring budget, his administration launched raids up and down the country, which has striked fear into the hearts of illegal immigrants nationwide.

And that's important because

we're not having to scoop all of them up.

His self-deportation thing is working like crazy.

People are self-deporting just as common sense would tell you it would.

The White House also has fired or bought out more than 100,000 federal bureaucrats, made the largest tax cut in U.S.

history permanent.

proved that Americans can hit its enemies hard without getting dragged into nation building.

I mean,

what happened?

Every president since George W.

Bush and maybe Clinton have said Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon.

But they did nothing.

They did nothing.

And we've tried everything except strength.

Because strength, of course, according to the State Department, would get us embroiled in a war that would last forever.

Donald Trump, now, I don't know if you're honest enough to say this.

I am.

And maybe it's not the same with you, but it is with me.

When he made that decision, I thought, my gosh, this is such a dangerous decision.

I believe it's a decision that he has to make,

but this could lead to World War II.

And then I thought,

this is why Glenn, you could never be president of the United States, because I don't know if I have the courage enough to say, yeah, well, if World War III starts, And it starts because I made this move, so be it.

I just, I wouldn't have the balls to do that.

And that's why I would make a very bad president.

You have to have somebody.

And Donald Trump knows he's right.

Whether he is or not,

when he approaches a decision, he'll get all kinds of

counsel on it.

But when he approaches a decision, he's made the decision, he's right.

When it comes to World War III, I don't think I could do that.

And neither has any of the presidents since Ronald Reagan.

Only Ronald Reagan was willing to look at Gorbachev in the eye and go, not going to do it.

And if it means World War III, that's fine.

I don't think we should fight it.

Here's what happens.

It's horrifying.

Now I'm willing to take all of our missiles and get rid of all of them if you are too.

But if you want to keep ratcheting it up, oh, I'll crush you.

Everyone said that was World War III.

That was the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Same thing.

We haven't seen this since Ronald Reagan.

Everyone has said they're not going to have nuclear weapon.

This is the first president had the balls to do something about it.

It's amazing.

By the way, the same tax cut included $75 billion for interior immigration enforcement.

This happened two weeks ago, by the way.

He has changed the Middle East.

He has supported Israel, but now he is also saying, Israel, you got to slow down here.

We need peace.

He is putting peace in the region together like I've never seen before.

He already did it once with the Abrahamic Accords.

But what he's doing now by building this giant silicon area in the Middle East, do you know why he's doing that?

China is doing their, what is it, road and belt and

road thing initiative initiative so what what is that that's trying to get huawei everywhere wawei is you know our navidia okay it is the big uh

tech producer for china and if if china gets their road and belt if they get all of these places to take Huawei instead of American technology, we're screwed.

So what is Donald Trump really doing in the Middle East?

I don't even think we talked about this when he was over there.

We were just so in awe of, look at what he's bringing together.

When he was standing there, and remember they built that, you know, they had that little model of the city of tomorrow, the tech city of tomorrow.

Did you see that?

He was like in the UAE or something.

Maybe it was Saudi Arabia.

And they had this huge model made.

And it was the tech city of tomorrow.

And it was all about industrial servers, chip manufacturing etc etc and it was a joint project between the middle east and america okay

why did he do that

because if we don't if we don't have other countries bought solely into our chips

if they are playing two roads and they can go over to china and get huawei If we're weak, that destroys us.

We must be the leader in chips.

Nobody even understands what he's doing.

Nobody understands what he's doing with the servers and the tech.

Nobody understands.

You know, have you noticed that the gas price is the lowest it's been since when?

2020?

Yeah.

Well, certainly at 2020, it was probably lower for COVID, but yeah, it's just really low.

Right.

Really low.

And we're not even talking about that.

No.

How about the price of eggs down 54%?

We're not even talking about that.

It's like, yeah, again, I go back to we're in the drive-through and we're like, yeah, you gave it to me in two minutes.

Why don't I have it in 90 seconds?

Are you saying that as a country or are you saying that as conservatives?

I thought you said like,

I think conservatives are saying that.

I think conservatives are.

Yeah, because I don't.

The polling is showing no variation from any of this stuff for conservatives.

They all just love Trump.

They're there.

The MAGA people are there.

90% type approval ratings.

Nothing, no movement whatsoever from the Epstein thing that I've seen.

I know that.

In fact, I think it helped him.

Strangely.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it helped him, but it didn't hurt him.

Maybe it didn't hurt.

He improved in that period, seemingly.

So I don't know that.

I mean, it seems like Republicans, conservatives, MAGA types are

seeing these positive things and appreciating them.

I hope so.

I just think that I think a lot of

some of the stuff

doesn't have

widespread popularity across the country outside of those groups.

Like, for example, when you look at the immigration policy, if you can divide it into two things, you mentioned both of them.

One was border security, and one was the framing I think in that story that you were reading was raids up and down the country.

Yeah.

Border security is looked at positively by most of America.

Raids are not.

In fact, they're wildly unpopular outside of Republican and conservative sort of circles.

Now, that doesn't mean you don't do them.

I mean,

it's an important part of the policy.

And that is the problem with, that is the problem with the raids is the press.

I mean, the press is still in the bag.

You know, the press is saying that

these are just poor migrants.

No, they're not.

They're not going after those guys yet.

Much of it has been falsely covered.

Right.

It is like, these are the murderers.

These are the gang members.

These are the ones causing real issues.

And they're trying to make it appear as though they're everywhere so people will self-deport without any chaos.

That's the whole idea.

But that's the press being dishonest.

It's not just the press, though.

I mean, it's also

filtered into like the podcast world.

Like, have you seen Andrew Schultz is the comedian?

He

voted for Trump, was supporting, supported Trump.

And I heard him do an interview.

I think it was like the New York Times or something, where he was saying one of the main reasons he supported Trump is he believed we should have border security, but we should not go after

nice people who are just working, are illegally here and just working.

That's not what he's going to do.

And I asked the president about that, and he told me that was not going to be his priority.

And then look at this.

It's not his priority.

First of all, I think it's not his priority.

No.

And secondly,

what this is, is certainly not a policy of ⁇ I think there's a lot of border hawks who are like, hey, are we going to get to those widespread deportations soon?

You know what I mean?

Like I am.

Yeah.

So, so, but his, his perception, you know, certainly through the media, but it's moved people like this, is that that's what Trump's doing.

He's going around every Home Depot and arresting random people who have families here and have done nothing else wrong other than cross the border illegally, which I still think is a significant issue, but not everyone agrees with us on that.

So I think that's been part of

the problem, but I don't think that's in conservative circles.

All right.

Let me let me pick this back up.

Give me 60 seconds.

I want to tell you about American financing.

Imagine for a moment, a single phone call could completely change your life.

Sounds like something out of a movie.

A character picks up the phone, makes a call, and then everything starts to shift.

The problem gets solved.

A weight gets lifted.

A new chapter begins.

Here's the thing.

It's not just in the movie.

Sometimes real life works that way as well.

Maybe it's a call to ask, can I get out from underneath this debt?

Can I stop bleeding money on high interest?

Is there a better way for my family to live?

American financing has helped countless people answer those questions.

They're not about selling you something.

They're about helping you understand what's possible, whether that means lowering your mortgage payment, consolidating high interest debt, or simply getting you onto a better path for your future.

Call American Financing.

I have to tell you, I understand.

I understand what it's like to live where you're like,

I don't know what's going to happen next.

Maybe you're worried about your job or

whatever.

In starting a new business, which I'm doing right now,

I mean, that's taking a lot.

It's taking everything that I have right now.

And Tanya and I are like, gosh, I haven't felt this way for a few years, you know, for like really feeling worried about things.

It's a horrible place to be.

Horrible.

You don't have to be there.

There are ways for you to get out from that fear.

There is nothing worse than the fear of, am I going to be able to make my bills next month?

Call American Financing, 800-906-2440.

800-906-2440.

Go to American Financing.net.

That's AmericanFinancing.net.

So let me, while we're there, let me just play Corey Booker here.

Corey Booker just

reposted a video on X.

First, it came posted on Instagram from Shea FarmKid.

Go ahead and play this video.

Okay, this is

there's somebody that is showing their hands and they're picking and planting and everything else and it it glorifies the invisible hands that feed us.

They're not invisible hands.

I can see them, but these are all the farm workers.

Okay

So

the invisible hands that feed us aka the migrants who pick vegetables for less than minimum wage.

Okay.

Right.

And we're told that they're all being rounded up, right?

Right.

So you just decided to put a bunch of them on video?

On video.

Posted on social media.

Okay.

But what kills me is, how come they,

I mean, there was a rant.

Who was it?

Oh,

it was from Joe Biden or Hunter Biden.

Oh, gosh, yes.

I love the Hunter Biden.

Do we have time?

Do I have 58 seconds?

One minute.

No, no, I don't.

I got to play it when we.

It deserves its full time.

It is

absolutely amazing.

These people are...

They have not changed from the 1850s.

They are still saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're black people.

But how are we going to get the cotton picked in the fields?

How are you?

You want to pay more for that shirt and those that pair of pants?

How are you going to, really?

Do you smoke cigars?

Who's going to pick that tobacco?

Um, slavery was wrong.

Yeah, we survived without slavery.

We will survive and figure out the way to do it without illegals.

Stop encouraging people to live in the shadows so you can have cheaper food, Democrats.

This is Glenn Tebeck.

Amazing.

Amazing.

All right, pre-born.

What if today, with just a little bit of effort, you can participate in a miracle, a legitimate miracle?

Today, there's going to be a woman who is facing the hardest decision she'll ever ever make.

She's scared.

She's alone.

She's been told she has no other option, and she's going to walk into a pre-born clinic.

She found pre-born.

She didn't go to Planned Parenthood and she's planning on aborting, but she wants to go in for an initial exam.

Okay.

Then somebody for free gives her a chance to see her baby, to hear the heartbeat.

It's an ultrasound.

She realizes, sometimes for the first time, that is a life, that is a child, her child.

That's what pre-born does, provides free ultrasounds to women in crisis.

And when they do, more often than not, the baby gets a chance to live.

But that's only the first step.

Also, these women are still afraid.

They still feel alone.

Nobody in their life.

We don't give up on the women.

We don't say, good, the baby's born now.

Get out.

They help the mom and the child for up to two years.

Would you consider a donation?

I mean, if you can afford a big check, a thousand, two hundred,

two thousand, even twenty thousand could go a long way.

But 28 bucks buys an ultrasound.

Preborn.com/slash Beck.

That's pre-born.com/slash Beck or pound 250.

Keyword baby.

Just looking at what has been done in the last six months, it is pretty amazing the progress on things that we never ever thought could be done.

For instance, NATO, they're paying their own way now.

They've upped and guaranteed they're going to pay 5%.

And he's like, you're going to, because I'm not going to.

We stopped giving aid to Ukraine.

Instead, we're shipping the weapons that NATO purchases, and you can do whatever you want, but we'll sell you the weapons, but we're not going to give them anymore to Ukraine, which, I mean, if you don't like the war in Ukraine, that's a different story, but at least we're not paying for it anymore.

You have

NATO

coming to heal and

listening to the American president again.

I mean, I think that's amazing.

The activist judges are now being pushed back down.

You're not a king.

You don't have a right to tell everybody.

And he pushed that through the Supreme Court.

Last week, he pulled the plug on PBS and NPR.

I never thought that would happen in my lifetime.

It's been a conservative priority forever.

Forever.

Many Republican presidents have promised to do it and were not able to do it.

Along with the Department of Education.

Now, that one's not done yet.

No, but remember

he said he was going to do it.

Then they sued him for it and said, You can't do it.

He brought it all the way to the Supreme Court, argued in the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court said, Yeah, you can, up to a certain point.

50% of that's going to be gone soon.

Yeah.

That is fantastic.

Nobody thought 50%?

I guess the point of this is, let's not look at it and go, yeah, but there's 50% left.

He just cut it by 50%.

It's a major improvement.

Major improvement.

Let's see.

The colleges.

Why are we sending money to colleges that are, you know, letting China in?

That's not happening.

Teaching our kids and screwing our kids up.

He's like, I'm not sending you any more money.

In fact, the first thing you have to do is you have to rescind all of the fake records set by men in women's sports, and then you have to apologize to the women.

It's interesting.

That stuff hasn't polled all that well

overall, but it's been good for conservatives.

And again, I'm not saying that he should be targeting polling by what he's doing.

I'm just trying to see why would his approval already be followed.

He's also frozen tens of millions of dollars of our money going to liberal universities and suing them for racial discrimination.

Again,

the left for the first time ever, I have not seen this for a long time.

You know, they'll just get up in front of Congress and they'll just lie.

For the first time in

40 years,

I'm seeing people go to Congress and they're not lying.

They'll say, I plead the fifth.

That means they're actually afraid something will happen to them, that somebody is serious this time.

That's a huge step.

Now, I haven't seen the seriousness begin,

but some things are happening behind the scenes in Washington and I found out about yesterday

that serious times,

if the Senate acts to actually confirm more U.S.

attorneys, there's like 70 of them backlogged and they're not doing anything.

The Senate's not moving on those.

You can't have prosecutions without the U.S.

attorneys.

I did hear that they were considering canceling the, was it the August break to get

all the stuff through?

He's begging them.

Soon said something about doing that.

Birthright citizenship, now possibly on the chopping block.

Never thought that would happen.

The vaccine industrial complex, that's all being dismantled.

The Department of Health and Human Services

and the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, they fired all the people from Big Pharma on that.

He took on South Africa and their land seizures, their government-incited murder, all of that stuff.

He is,

we're no longer that we know of being shadow banned.

He's got the

AI people and the tech people generally on his side and said government should not be involved in any kind of stuff on free speech.

And the Democrats have completely

caved.

I go back to Stu, what I said to Stu or what he said to me years ago.

Hey, Glenn,

I think it was the day we put GBTV on the air.

We launched a network.

The week we were doing our first ever and only foreign event in Israel.

None of us spoke Hebrew.

None of us spoke Arabic.

None of us had ever put together an event.

None of us had ever started a network.

And we did it at the same time in one week.

And we were finished.

And I was already going, okay, here's what we have to do next.

And Stu came to me and said, hey, what do you say we celebrate just for a second?

Just for a second.

That's all I wanted to say today is, could we just celebrate for just a second?

We got to get back to all the things that aren't being done.

But

my gosh.

Look what's happened.

Over and over and over again, things I never thought, I never thought we'd get done are being done.

That's not accounting.

Yesterday, the straw thing went away.

That's a nice one.

Yeah.

They got the

paper.

What was the shoe thing last week at the airport?

I was at the airport on Friday, and they're like, don't worry,

you don't have to take your shoes off and

your laptop has to come out.

But the liquid thing, that's on the way.

Yeah, the liquid is another one that you can have liquids now.

Right.

Bring a bottle of water through the security lines.

Coming soon.

Not done yet, but coming soon, supposedly.

Just that in the straw thing I never thought would happen.

He got us out of the Paris Accords, and

the WEF and ESG, while it's still out there, is not breathing down our neck like something that's about to take over.

Major progress there.

Look at the corporations, how the corporations have flipped.

I mean,

this is remarkable for six months.

And so a lot of these things are, I mean, I'm looking at them.

I would say

the majority of them are things that mostly are toward his base.

Right.

These are things that conservatives.

Because they were the ones that were on the most amount of fire.

Sure.

And look,

this is why he got elected, right, by his base, right?

They wanted him to do a lot of these things.

You know, this is understandable why people in the middle and on the left might be less excited about those things and maybe hurting his approval rating.

You know, I think a lot of it's focused.

Like I think focusing on things like there's no shoes on planes is smart, right?

Because

that's something that's overwhelmingly popular to get rid of that.

That's Rudy Giuliani.

Back in the 80s, and I faced this in the 80s, New York was a scary place.

Not as scary as it is now, but a scary place.

You drive your car.

That's true.

I think it actually was scarier then.

Well, it's close.

You drive your car back then, and somebody would just throw water on your window, take a rag, and just wipe it.

Your window would be completely smeared now.

Now you couldn't see.

And then they knock on your window, like, pay up.

And if you didn't pay up, you were praying for the light to change quickly.

Okay.

Rudy Giuliani got into office.

That's the first thing he took on.

Change people's lives.

And

I think he

is doing that, but we don't, it just happens amongst all the other stuff that is happening

where, I mean, he should take a moment and take a victory lap on the things that actually change people's lives, like the no-shoe thing

at the airport, like the straw thing.

Those are things that, I'm sick of those straws.

I was at a restaurant over the weekend.

Oh my gosh, I can't.

And they gave me one of those stupid straws that I'm like, well, this is going to be a slimy piece of nothing

by the time I finish this drink.

Thank you for that.

All that nonsense is over.

The showers.

you can have water pressure again in your shower.

That's another good one, yeah.

Right?

I mean, I know I'm missing a ton of things.

Yeah.

I think

it's interesting because you look at how the overall country looks at Trump's policies.

And you can find polls all over the place on this.

Some are more liberal, some are more conservative.

But like the order of these policies generally is about the same on almost all of these polls.

Let me give it to you real quick.

Yeah.

Most popular, border security.

Yes.

Next, immigration.

Yes.

Deportations is next.

Now, again, that is underwater on some polling, but it's still one of his more popular policies tied to that.

But you see, all three of the top three are all related to the border.

Right.

But you know why?

Because people see that in their own neighborhood.

They're afraid of their own neighborhoods in many ways.

They see it.

They recognize terrorism, gangs, fentanyl, drugs.

They see crime going up.

And so this is one of the things they see and know instinctively this is bad.

They may not like

the correction,

but they want the correction.

Right.

Yes, that's a great way of describing it.

They want it.

Yeah.

They just don't want to say they want it.

Yeah, and they don't want to necessarily, you know, it's like you want a hamburger.

You don't necessarily want to hang out at the slaughterhouse.

It's like one of those types of things.

Exactly.

It feels like it's a negative thing to get to a positive thing for some.

Again, I feel like someone who broken the law.

I don't have any problem with it at all.

But I'm just saying from

you like human beings, which they are.

Right.

But I want them out.

Right.

Yeah.

What's interesting about this is his approval rating for immigration, still his most popular set of policies, has fallen from, I mean, it was in March plus 11 on average, and it is now a minus six.

That is because of people like Corey Booker and the press and the way the press is making this all look.

It's also pretty standard for most presidents.

Now, we should also note that Trump is ahead of his first term considerably.

So keep that in context here, too.

Even though

they're focusing on the falling of the polls, he's doing better than he was in

his first term.

After that, you have jobs in the economy,

then foreign policy.

By the way, did I even mention

the jobs,

the massive

job front on you get, whether you spend $10 billion or $10,000, you get a tax credit if you are building infrastructure that actually creates jobs.

How about all of the...

He's cut the red tape for all of the nuclear power plants and the coal-fire plants.

And yeah, and that's, again, a very divisive thing.

I know, but

it is, it's phenomenal.

I mean,

there's several things that you're like, wait, what?

And

I'll hear that from, like, I heard about the shoe thing at the airport.

Everybody was talking about the shoe thing this weekend.

Okay.

That's great.

But you kind of like, okay, yeah, the shoe thing.

Do you know that we now are building nuclear power plants?

Like, no, but it just happened.

When he announced that on this show, I thought, holy cow, that's going to be front page New York Times.

Nothing.

nothing

no pushback which shows they're actually for it they just don't want to say they're for it right no pushback whatsoever and it's like wait a minute how is this happening

yeah I you know it's amazing I mean a couple of other ones here you've got

Now you get into less popular policies, managing the federal government workforce.

We didn't mention Doge, but all that Doge type stuff.

Doge hurt him.

It did hurt him.

That squabble.

That squabble, but also just firing a bunch of workers from the government.

Very popular for me.

Very popular for you.

Very popular for many in the audience.

Not so popular nationwide.

Yeah.

That's children are going to starve.

Again, it's not true.

It's not because the press is in the bag.

The press is lying about these things.

USAID is the biggest thing.

He cut USAID.

Another one.

Just stand back and marvel.

That is forever been a CIA operation.

It's a front for the CIA.

It's been causing revolution.

It is probably responsible for millions of deaths since the 1960s because it's revolution after revolution after revolution, all fomented by USAID.

I never thought that that would be, I didn't even consider that that could be cut.

Gone.

Holy cow.

Now, does it make him popular with everybody?

Right.

Most people, yeah, oppose if you're informed and you you really know what it is, it's a big deal.

It's a very big deal.

Very bottom of these, the least popular: trade with other countries, government funding, and social programs, health care, and prices, and inflation, which is, you know, those are the very bottom of the barrel for him.

But again, this is just more of a thing of how should he focus, right?

What his attentions beyond publicly.

He needs, let me give you 30 more seconds, Sarah.

He

is

to concentrate right now.

He needs to get,

I think the conservatives need to put pressure on the Senate.

Get the U.S.

attorneys approved.

You can't prosecute anything without the attorneys.

Okay.

Get the U.S.

attorneys approved, Senate,

this summer, like right now.

The other side of that is I think he needs to find ways to just focus

on the economy.

If you can make people's, and I don't know how he's going to do that, because that all comes from job creation and everything else, and you don't turn that one around quickly.

You know, prices have fallen.

Inflation is down,

and we are out of little gimmicks that we can do on,

you know, hey, let's send everybody a check to $10,000, which is always popular.

We can't do any of those gimmicks.

So I don't know how it happens, but concentrate on the things that make people's lives better so they recognize their life is getting better.

All right, back in just a second.

Right now, the situation across Israel is historically fragile and deeply urgent.

Israeli neighborhoods have been destroyed.

Dozens of Israelis are dead.

Untold more are injured.

And whether it's a time of peace or a time of war, the reality for the people of Israel never really changes.

They know at any given moment, an overwhelming number of ballistic missiles could be falling from the sky.

Now they're at war.

But this is at any given moment when they've been at peace.

Here's the problem.

They're just not enough bomb shelters, not in Tel Aviv, not in the north.

And that's where it's really happening.

If there's been a time to act, it's right now.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Well,

Hunter Biden is back in one of the most bizarre interviews.

And I mean, it's par for the course, isn't it?

I mean, really, honestly, does anything make sense anymore?

So we have that coming up in just a second.

First, let me tell you about my company, RealEstateAgents I Trust.com.

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions.

You know, I'm not going to read the whole thing.

This is my company.

I'm going to just eat the money for the commercial.

I actually have to pay on my own show for the commercials.

It's great.

You want a real estate agent that will help you

buy or sell a house.

Just go to realestate agentsitrust.com.

Realestateagents I trust.com.

Okay.

Sorry.

I just want to get to the show.

Can we do that?

All right.

Let me talk to you a little bit about Hunter Biden.

Hunter Biden is on a podcast called Channel 5 with Andrew Callahan.

Now,

I don't pretend to be up on the latest podcasts, but this is a show.

I mean,

I applaud his creativity.

I applaud applaud

his nod to the past

in Channel 5.

Has anybody watched this show?

I mean, how many views does it get?

Do you know, Stu?

So I'm looking at this.

I don't know this person that he's talking about.

This is me just looking at it as we speak.

It does seem like he has several million YouTube followers.

Okay, good.

So relatively big audience.

He seemingly

was,

so I think built a very big audience,

then had what I would maybe say is a Me Too scandal

and had things kind of alcoholism, maybe things sort of fall apart for a while, and this is maybe him in his compact.

Good for him.

I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know if it's good for him.

It doesn't seem like he's like a hardcore leftist, but like leans to the left.

I'm saying good for him if he is an alcoholic.

He had a crash and

he's found a way to

fall his way back out.

I didn't mean

you shouldn't be excited for him because he's on the left.

I was just trying to give a a full perspective of who he was.

So anyway, so he's the one that did this, Hunter Biden.

And it is absolutely and completely bizarre.

But what, I mean, what else would you expect from Hunter Biden?

Let me let's see, where should we start here, Stu?

Let's.

It's all good, Glenn.

There's no wrong place to start with these clips.

Let's start here.

Let's start here.

Hunter Biden, cut six.

Hunter Biden on migrants.

All these Democrats say you have to talk about and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration.

F you.

How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned?

How do you think you've got food on your fing table?

Who do you think washes your dishes?

Who do you think does your fing garden?

Who do you think is here by the f ⁇ ing

sheer

just grit and will that they figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could give themselves and their family a better chance.

And he's somehow convinced all of us that these people are the f ⁇ ing criminals.

White men in America are 45 more times likely to commit a f ⁇ ing violent crime than an immigrant.

And the media says, well, you got David Axelrod and, you know, Rom Emmanuel was so f ⁇ ing smart, Rom Emmanuel.

He said, we got to understand that these people are really mad.

Sorry, we missed one.

Did we?

Did we catch that in time?

Yes, we guess we dumped that.

Good.

Sorry, there are 847 F-bombs.

Yeah, and we missed one.

But you get the picture here, what he's talking about.

This one view I absolutely love.

I absolutely love the fact that

Democrats will take the point of view that this is who cleans the hotel room.

This is who washes your dishes.

This is who you have pick your food.

Like,

I mean,

I mean, I love it.

The Democratic slogan should be Democrats helping you have cheap food since 1810.

They've been behind this policy the whole time.

They've been behind this policy.

Never waver.

They've never fought for it in the 1850s and 60s.

We want cheap labor.

I mean, it's crazy.

It is hilarious and coming from him.

Like, who cleans your hotel room?

Considering what he's done to hotel rooms, I hope nobody.

I hope they just burn the things to the ground after he exits them.

I don't know.

Who takes all the bodily fluid out of the carpet fibers, Hunter?

Who do you think it is?

Oh, it's illegal immigrants.

We got to have them here to clean the meth dust off the cabinets.

Because it gives them dignity.

Yes.

I love it.

This guy.

Who's in there with a black light trying to make sure they get every bit of soil out of the walls and everything else after I've been in it?

Illegal immigrants.

Give them dignity, man.

Give them dignity.

As you do, I hope the host of the program has no more Me Too

failings and has his

alcoholism go away.

I, of course, also hope that.

Alcoholism never goes away.

I hate to be that guy, but I am.

Yes, yes, there you go.

I hope he keeps it in remission, we'll say.

Same thing for Hunter, though I watching this interview, I'm starting to doubt whether he's going to be able to keep it in remission.

And maybe

came directly from a crack house.

I'm not sure it is.

He is in control still, that he's still in remission.

I don't think.

I mean, just looking at this, it seems like he's back on crack.

That's what I'm saying.

Now, that's just me.

I was not at the crack house with him.

So I have no evidence to support that particular belief.

I just

went to the crackhouse on the way to the interview.

My impression is

that in between the clips we're watching, he is smoking crack.

That's my impression of the interview.

All right.

I'm just putting that out there.

I don't have.

That's allegedly.

Not even.

it's just a, it's just an impression.

All right.

By the way, we we have a quick commercial that we want to share with you from the Democratic Party.

Oh,

go ahead, Roller.

To the hands that scrub my seven-bedroom DC home for $4 an hour so I don't have to, thank you.

To the hands that flip burgers to keep Americans fat and stupid so they'll keep voting for me.

Thank you.

And to the hands that smuggle cocaine into the country for the cartels.

Thank you.

And Hunter Biden says he's especially grateful

to the hands that build our bridges.

Hurry the f up.

My constituents have been waiting for this since 2023.

And to the hands that clean the hotels where I host Chinese businessmen for top secret meetings, thank you.

Thank you.

We couldn't survive without your cheap labor.

I mean, we could.

The market would just raise wages.

But if we can just take advantage of you and secure more votes at the same time, why not?

Right.

Right.

That's great.

That's a great message.

Vote for the Democrats.

I just, it kills me.

It is a really strange argument to be the humane side of the discussion, right?

Like,

that is how the media portrays it, that we're the bad ones.

for saying, hey, you shouldn't be exploited.

You shouldn't come across the border.

You shouldn't have

coyotes bring you across the border and put you into essential slavery.

And they could say, well, we want them to be legal citizens.

No, you don't, because then they won't be cheap labor.

Right.

Right.

They won't be cheap.

Well, they'll vote for them.

So I think they're conflicted on that one.

I mean, there's a killer.

But it kills me.

Who's picking your food?

You know what the price of everything would be if they didn't pick it up.

So you are for slavery.

We're just negotiating the price.

Yes.

That's all we're doing here.

That's the fact.

Right.

It is.

It clearly is.

By the way, you were talking about Biden and crack cocaine.

Here he is defending crack cocaine.

Cut eight.

It's actually great.

Well, the only difference between crack cocaine and cocaine is sodium biprocarbonate and water and heat, literally.

That's it.

That's it.

And those things are pretty much free if you go to like a science store.

This is free.

You can go to

your neighborhood convenience store and just get...

Anyway, I don't want to tell people

how to make make crack cocaine, but it literally is a managed jar of cocaine and baking soda.

How different is the experience?

Oh, it's vastly, vastly different.

And like for real,

I feel really reluctant to kind of have some euphoric discussion.

I know you're not asking me to do that, but have some euphoric discussion about crack cocaine.

I think this might be kind of the opposite here.

Okay, no, it's the exact opposite.

I'm saying I don't want to have the experience of some euphoric recall.

That's how powerful crack cocaine is.

Does crack cocaine make you act any differently?

No.

Is it safer than alcohol?

Probably.

People think of crack as being dirty.

It's the exact opposite.

When you make crack, what you're doing is you're burning off all the impurities so that they're combined with the sodium bicarbonate, which makes it smokable.

That's all.

You know, all of these actors and

people in the past that talked about they had a problem with cocaine and free basing.

They were smoking crack.

So straw on the stove is the same thing.

Not exactly, but close to it.

But it's a little bit different.

What kind of conversation is this?

What world do I live in?

The former president's son is talking about, you know,

I don't want to make a case for crack cocaine, but let me make a case for crack cocaine.

It's better than alcohol.

And I made it myself.

Hey, how are you doing?

Just go to your 7-Eleven.

What are you doing?

You know, I was thinking Applebee's should be serving crack instead of margaritas.

Well, it's a lot safer.

It's a lot safer.

It's a lot safer.

It doesn't change your behavior at all.

Really?

Really?

It seems also,

I feel like the crack people are like, wait a minute.

Yes, it does.

It absolutely does.

No one's going to buy or stop if it doesn't change your bear.

It doesn't have a brand, so they don't have lawyers.

I mean, if they had a brand and a trademark, it was made crack by Pfizer.

Right.

They would be safe.

There you go.

But they're not now.

All right, back in just a second.

Let me tell you about Rough Greens.

Imagine this.

You wake up in the morning, you head to the kitchen, you pour yourself a big heap and bowl of styrofoam packing peanuts.

Mmm, yummy.

Now, I mean,

be honest.

You'd think you'd walk out the door with pep in your step, right?

Glide in your stride because you had the...

packing peanuts.

You were cheated out of a real breakfast, cheated out of real nutrition.

There's nothing in there.

And if you're feeding your dog typical kibble diet, that's almost what you're doing because kibble is dead food it is cooked at very high temperatures to kill everything that is good and alive in that so it can shit sit on a shelf for uh

two years

then it's left to sit in that bag there's nothing left your dog's body can really use some help that's why i recommend rough greens It's a powdered supplement you sprinkle on top of your dog's food loaded with probiotics, enzymes.

We

gather it.

Hello, Stu.

Hey, Glenn.

How's it going?

Good.

Do any crack today?

No, I might have.

I just didn't know.

Hey, it doesn't.

It does not change your behavior.

The number one thing you need to know about crack is it does not change your behavior.

Why would you take it if it didn't change your behavior?

I would think, well, I guess you could say maybe it makes you feel better, but it doesn't.

Now, again, this is not true, but like in theory, if you had a thing that made you feel better, but didn't change your behavior, that would be a positive.

It would change your behavior because you feel better.

For instance,

let's say you have really bad, your legs are just riddled with arthritis.

So they give you an opioid so you have, you know, you can deal with the pain.

Well, it changes your behavior because you're not feeling the pain as much.

And so you're like, I can do that.

All right.

Yeah.

So without cocaine, I can fly off the roof.

I mean,

that will change your behavior one way or another.

Once you learn to master it, though,

it just makes you a better tipper to the prostitutes.

Really?

So, yes.

Now, I agree.

For instance, alcohol

doesn't

alcoholism doesn't really change your behavior at first.

At first, it just makes you more honest.

Right.

If you're

an angry person underneath, you're going to be a very angry drunk.

Okay.

If you're just a, I love you kind of person, that's what you turn into until the alcoholism part of it gets a hold of you and then it owns you and then you change your behavior because you're lying to everybody.

But at first, alcohol just loosens you up to be more of who you really are

underneath.

and

takes away all of your inhibitions.

Okay.

Right?

Would you agree?

I mean, that's what it's known for, is taking away your inhibitions.

Now, again, that gets to be negative after a while.

And if you don't think that you might not sleep with somebody that you would really, really regret the next day,

I would say that's proof positive alcohol changes your behavior.

The beer goggles principle.

Beer goggles.

You wake up and you're like, what?

What did I do?

What have I done?

That's changing your behavior.

Yes, all of these substances change your behavior.

By the way, we...

I think what he's saying here is, I am that bad guy that sleeps with prostitutes.

He's not the crack guy.

I think he's again.

He's some truth spoken here.

Correct.

But I will say, overwhelming the Whitney-Houston principle of crack being whack is not something we need to do in this country.

It's still whack.

Please believe it's whack.

Don't listen to Hunter Biden.

Okay, here's something else that he said.

I'm going to play cut 12 first.

This is a flashback to his father on the 2024 debate stage.

Listen.

What's happened?

I've changed it in a way that now you're in a situation where there are 40% fewer people coming across the border illegally.

That's better than when he left office.

And I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban on

the total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more Border Patrol and more asylum officers.

President Trump?

I really don't know what he said at the end of this.

I don't think he knows what he said either.

Look, that's the best moment of that debate.

It It is one of the best moments of that any debate.

Okay.

So remember, that's who he's talking about.

Listen to what Hunter Biden said about that moment.

That's exactly what happened in that debate.

He flew around the world, basically,

the mileage that he could have flown around the world three times.

He's 81 years old.

He's tired as

give him ambien to be able to sleep.

He gets up on the stage and he looks like he's a deer in the headlights.

Wait.

Wait.

Wait, they gave him ambien?

what

i mean we were all talking about maybe crack cocaine to keep him peppy

uh you know i mean you wouldn't be like he's got a debate how can we get him to perform at his best most clear ambien yeah see well see and crack wouldn't make sense because it doesn't change your behavior right so uh but ambien does but ambiency crack is now less potent than ambiency

which is a fascinating development.

Well, I mean, I guess if you want to be super

kind to his comments, there, is he saying essentially like he didn't get a lot of sleep.

He had to get that to sleep through the night.

They're not saying they gave that to him before the debate, are they?

If you remember right,

Rick Perry had just got out of back surgery and they had him on, I don't know, oxycodone or whatever.

And he was at the debate and he was like, I got to take the painkillers.

It's, it's killing me or I won't make it standing here the whole time.

He takes it.

He makes one mistake.

Nobody says the guy just got out of back surgery.

He was on right.

I mean, really?

He was on ambient.

Well, those are poor choices.

And the other part about this, because they've tried the beginning of that excuse before, which is he was flying all around the world and he did have a trip, but it was several days before the debate.

He got back

before the debate.

It wasn't like he landed and went to the studios, right?

Which I, you know, which Trump had been doing.

Right.

And Trump was a kid.

He's got energy no matter what.

Yeah.

But, like, it's just a ridiculous excuse.

If you can't own the debate being bad, how could anyone trust you on your opinion on crack changing behavior?

I feel like he's not even all that reliable, even on crack.

Right.

And that's the one thing he knows a lot about.

Oh, you are so right, Steve.

You are so disappointing.

Right.

Now,

back to, you know, his dad.

Why did the Dems lose?

Cut nine.

I will tell you why we lost the last election.

We lost the last election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party.

That's my position.

We had the advantage of incumbency.

We had the advantage of an incredibly successful administration.

Stop.

And the Democratic Party literally melted down.

Wait.

No, they melted down because everything was going terribly, and then their guy got on stage and almost fell over in the middle of the debate.

Ambient or no ambient.

Right.

It's over at that point.

I mean, it's not an indefensible point to say that what they did to get rid of him was terrible.

No, it was a coup.

I would go further.

What they did is most likely illegal and unconstitutional.

Maybe.

I mean, I think at least

they didn't remove him from office, and they did go through a process.

Again, they make the process up.

They're the Democrats, it's their own party.

They can choose whoever they want.

In theory, they don't have to let anyone vote.

In fact, for many things.

They're going to work back toward that right now.

So I don't know if we're a...

There's a good portion of the people not voting Democrats since 1810.

They got a great couple of slogans.

We do.

We got a couple of shirts there that I think need to be made.

I do.

The change to Harris, I think, probably helped them in the actual election results.

I think they probably held a Senate seat maybe

that they would have lost.

I think they may have won.

I think they were closer than they would have been if Biden were the candidate.

But that being said,

they destroyed any credibility they had to their voters by allowing them to elect a person and then forcing them out.

And there has to be a price to pay for that, I would think, long term.

I mean, I think short-term, maybe it gave him a few percent chance higher to win, but that probably wasn't worth it.

Show you the numbers when we come back.

Sure, yes.

I think there is an effect long term.

This is

Glenn Beck.

You know, back in the old days, we didn't do the whole non-lethal thing when it came to protecting yourself and a property.

Some two-bit snake comes along or rustles your cattle, you shoot them in the head.

Some whippersnapper starts to pick a fight in a saloon, you shoot him dead.

Some greenhorn cowboy steals your spurs, you shoot him, dead.

Sometimes I wish I lived in the old west, although I don't know I would have lived very long.

Simpler time.

Mess around, find out.

These days, we're a little more civilized.

And if you live in one of the really, really more civilized states like California and you can't carry a gun, you should carry a Burna launcher.

It's a non-lethal self-defense tool that fires high-velocity pepper rounds enough to stop an attacker in their tracks without crossing that line into deadly force.

And for everyday carry, they have now a compact launcher.

It is really effective, easier to handle, and small enough to fit.

in your life without weighing you down.

No permits, legal in all 50 states, looks like a firearm, works like a firearm, but gives you options.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Let me go to Brian in Florida.

Thank you for holding, Brian.

Welcome.

Yeah, hi, Glenn.

Hey.

I had a comment on why we are not appreciative of the accomplishments made by President Trump, or so it probably seems that way.

I'm feeling that everything

politicians have created in

an environment that's divided.

They wanted it this way.

They wanted to separate us.

They want us to be angry with anyone with a differing opinion.

And now they expect, hey, come on back.

We're doing great things.

But unfortunately, I've been around since 68.

And everything it seems probably in the last 15, 20 years, seems very temporary to an administration.

It's all done with executive orders.

And so we see great things happening,

but we're probably really worried that they're going to disappear the moment that the gentleman in the office walks out, right?

I agree.

And so

there have been some things, like the tax cuts were made permanent.

That had to go through Congress.

The Doge thing had to go through Congress.

That's $9 billion.

The

cut of the

Department of Education, that actually went through the Supreme Court, so they can't just reverse it and and say, you know, he didn't have the right.

What are some of the other things that have gone through Congress?

The big, beautiful bill had tons of stuff that went through Congress.

A lot of it's good reversing a lot of the Green New Deal stuff.

I mean, there's a lot of good in that bill.

Some stuff I'm not crazy about, but a lot of good stuff.

But a lot of the stuff, you're right, is just executive order.

And, you know, he knows that.

You know, he's hoping that Congress will get off their butt and actually do something.

You know, the reason why I think in really looking at what's happening with the DOJ,

you can say what you want and what I have about Pan Bondi, but

there's not a lot of choices there on U.S.

attorneys to head things up.

I mean, he can make recess appointments this August, but can you look up the number of U.S.

attorneys that are

waiting to be confirmed?

He doesn't really have anybody he can trust at this point or that Pam can trust where he can say, you know what, special counsel, this guy, because nobody's the Senate is holding them all back.

This is the Republican Senate.

It's crazy.

Do you have it?

I don't have a list of that at this point.

But, you know, on the other side, I think you're right about that.

But on the other side, look at what's happening.

I mean,

did you hear what James Carville said

this op-ed?

He said his own party is constipated, leaderless, and a cracked-out

clown car that has been barreling down the road towards civil war.

He's right.

Now, that's a phrase that I don't think I have said more than once tied to James Carville.

He is right on that.

It's funny, too, because he says, What is it, cracked-out clown car?

Which doesn't even change your behavior.

So it's just a normal clown car.

Right.

Remember that.

He said, they're divided.

These are the words I hear from my fellow Democrats using to describe our party as of late.

The truth is, they're not wrong.

The Democratic Party is in shambles.

And if you look at what's happening in New York with Mamdani, and then what's the guy in Minneapolis?

He's a communist Islamist as well.

The same thing is happening.

The mayor of, what is it, Minneapolis, could be a guy who who calls Somalia home,

even though

he was born here in America.

He calls Somalia his home, not America.

And he may be the new communist

mayor of Minneapolis.

These are just going to go to hell.

I mean, New York is such a crazy one.

You have all the candidates that are out there.

I was watching TV today and I was watching Curtis Salewa out there campaigning.

I was like, this guy,

he's known for just not liking crime.

That's like his whole life.

He thinks you should be protected from criminal action, from criminals victimizing you in some terrible way.

And he wears a hat.

Those two things are why you know the guy.

And they're not even considering him.

They're considering A, communist, B, guy who murders old people and gropes women.

C,

guy who's a little strange and maybe corrupt and isn't doing doing a great job as mayor currently uh but has a couple policies that are maybe okay those are the only people that are even on the and actually and they're not even really considering that the third one adams they're doing the islamist guy who is also a communist or

Cuomo, who's one of the worst people that society has ever produced.

Crazy.

Like those.

Why wouldn't you go...

And not to mention, this is a city, Glenn, if I may, that has had two or three really successful periods over the past 50 years, both of which were when Republicans were mayors of it.

And they don't, they're not even considering the guy

who's like, hey, maybe we shouldn't have a government that's in your face all the time

or criminals that are in your face all the time.

That's all he's saying.

He's not even like taking some hardcore, like, you know, I don't know,

you know,

some vision of the country that is like super divisive.

He's just like a normal Republican who's saying, like, you know, I don't know, maybe you shouldn't get murdered in the streets.

You said not controversial.

I mean, that's, I mean, maybe you're white and deserve to be murdered in the streets.

You know, the crazy thing is, is they are now talking about, you know, New York, Mom Donnie is talking about

free groceries, not free grocery stores, but city-run grocery stores.

Oh, yeah.

You know that Kansas City has one.

In fact, do we have this?

This is good.

This is from Kansas City about their city-run grocery store.

Listen.

But recently, the shelves have looked like this.

I had to cash a book all the way to Walmart.

What is that like for you?

It's very inconvenient.

So what's going on?

Well, we ask Councilwoman Melissa Robinson, who represents the area.

Right now, because of a lot of the elements of safety, our residents and neighbors don't feel comfortable shopping in the store.

To keep the store open, it will require some city subsidy and investment.

So in Council Chambers Chambers Thursday afternoon, she's proposing about $750,000 to go to the store to help restock.

And I've been very clear

that

if we want that store to be viable, there's going to have to be a subsidy year.

That's just in the meantime, Alan and Latrice just hope that the next time they come back, there will be a little bit more to take home.

It's unbelievable.

It's unbelievable.

It looks like Venezuela.

Yeah,

it absolutely does.

And that's because it is, right?

Like, that's because that's a Venezuelan policy.

Let me show you that.

Here's some pictures of a Soviet grocery store.

Here's some pictures of a Soviet grocery store.

Right.

Okay.

Did that not look like the last image that you saw in Kansas City?

Yep.

Empty meat

shelves.

Look at that.

Nothing.

Nothing.

This is the way it was in the Soviet Union.

That looks exactly like Kansas City.

Why?

Because it doesn't work.

It's the same policy.

It doesn't work.

Now,

here's a Cuban that went to a Costco for the very first time.

Listen to this.

Close your eyes.

He opens his eyes.

No, it's awesome.

And he's just leaning over the meat counter, which looks normal.

But

I can't believe it.

He can't believe how much there is.

Look at all the people just buying meat

there's so much meat here

there's too much there's too much here

look at the apples apples

seems to be speaking

okay so this is a guy

this a guy who's coming from from cuba

never seen anything like a Costco.

And

we're bitching all the time.

I know.

All the time.

You know,

people make fun of me for this, but I have that exact reaction every time I walk into a Walmart.

Me too.

I don't look at it as like, oh, urban sprawl.

Oh, can you believe all these fluorescent lights?

I look at it as a freaking miracle.

Do you understand how impossible it is in all of human history that a place, one place like that, would exist, let alone one in every town?

You know, and you don't understand.

I live in a town of 400 people.

Okay.

In the summertime, I'm usually in a town of 400 people.

We're 45 minutes away from a Walmart, a Walmart.

You are not 45 minutes away from Walmart.

I know where you live.

You are 10 minutes away from a Walmart.

No, we're not.

Yes, you are.

No, we're not.

You're a silly goose.

Yes, you are.

You just don't know where the Walmarts are, Glenn.

No, you don't know.

You've been there once.

I'm telling you.

I'm sorry.

I'm thinking of your house here.

Okay.

I apologize.

I'm like, what are you talking about?

Okay.

No, okay.

Okay.

In a town of 400 people.

I don't live in a town of 400 people here.

Got it.

In a town of 400 people, I'm like, what are you talking about?

And, you know, there is something to be said for a lot of the country that just...

doesn't have

you know like here you live in Dallas you are 10 minutes away from everything yes okay you go in most of the country you're not 10 minutes away from everything.

And it is remarkable to see how much food, how much variety we have everywhere.

Yeah.

And to quibble with the way you're breaking that down, because when you talk about like land mass, that might be true.

When you talk about where the population is, though, almost everyone lives in a situation where, you know, again, it's...

80% of the population lives in situations where they're very close to these things in widespread bounty, which is a miracle.

Well, I wouldn't expect a Walmart to build a Walmart in a town of 400 people.

And your town would oppose it immediately, probably.

Nah,

maybe, maybe not.

It wouldn't make a lot of economic sense, probably

in the situation where you are.

But like, you know, there's a town half an hour away from that, from

your place in Idaho, and it's like, there's lots of stuff there.

I mean, it's not a big town, but it's very, very nice.

It's exactly what we had when I was growing up.

And it's fine.

It's great.

It's all fine.

Yeah.

But we are so.

Wait, I want a specific lampshade and that's an hour away?

What?

I've got to wait a whole day before I can get the latest computer.

What?

I mean, it is crazy.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

You know, look, capitalism has its problems.

It's not a perfect thing.

It's not meant to be.

It's the best.

It is.

It is by far the best.

Churchill, it's the worst system except for every other system ever tried.

I mean, if that's not absolute true, it's a horrible system, except for every other system that's ever been tried.

It's the best.

It's the best.

And I feel like we have a lot of people.

It's certainly mostly on the mom Donnie left.

It's crept into the right a little bit.

We just don't even appreciate what we have here.

What is crazy is that's where the youth is going.

Not, I can say, not

Generation

Z,

which is the latest, the youngest one.

Is it Generation Z?

Is younger than Millennials that you're looking for?

Then there's an alpha, I believe, after that.

Okay, so either Z or alpha or both.

But

X and millennials,

they're gone.

They're gone.

But the other ones are more conservative than we are.

But still, nobody understands civics.

Nobody understands.

They don't have an understanding of the Bill of Rights at all.

They look at freedom of of speech completely differently these things are coming our way because they don't understand them they've never been taught them i mean this honestly this is what's driving me to the torch we've got to get to the youth of america and make sure they understand civics they need they need to understand why these rights and responsibilities are so important.

They need to be excited about them.

We should be excited about capitalism.

But everybody's like, wow,

what do you mean?

Show me something better that has lifted more people out of poverty.

Show me one thing.

One.

You can't.

It's a literal miracle.

All right.

Torch is coming soon.

Let me tell you about Prager Yu, one of the torches partners coming forward.

One of the most beautiful things about history is this, no matter.

How much you think you know, there's always more to learn.

You can read every book, visit every museum, memorize every date, and still there'd be stories you haven't heard.

And that's part of what makes history so powerful.

It's not static.

It's not finished.

It's a living, breathing thing.

It's a constant reminder.

The past isn't just something to study.

It's something to learn from because it's happening now.

Something to build on.

That's why PragerU, I love what they're doing.

They're bringing history to life in a way that's engaging and accessible and rooted in truth.

And they're making it possible for all people,

all ages, not just to hear the facts, but to understand the bigger picture, to see how the past will shape our future, and to recognize why faith and freedom and personal responsibility matter now more than ever.

You don't have to sit in a classroom.

Glenn Beck will be right back.

Well, the criminals are here, and they're here to get your stuff.

And they're not breaking through Windows anymore.

They're now coming through your keyboard instead.

Cyber criminals are everywhere.

They're using AI to steal home titles, and it is working.

Business is booming.

Good for them.

Last year alone, more than 12,000 Americans had their titles stolen without even knowing that it happened.

And it started with a forged signature and a fake notary stamp.

That's all it takes.

The thief files a phony deed with your country, with your county, excuse me, and they basically pay a small fee, and the system treats it like any other document, right?

Like they don't know, they don't call you, they don't, they don't have, there's no big red flag that comes out, there's no warning.

Your title just quietly transfers to a criminal.

And then the equity that you have becomes their personal ATM.

They can take out loans, they can borrow big, they can borrow fast, and they can disappear.

And then you are stuck with the foreclosure notice in your mailbox.

All while this is happening, nobody says a word.

There's not alerts, there's no headlines.

This isn't, it's just like not a sexy thing for people to talk about.

You know, there's some celebrity drama, I'm sure, that they're they're focusing on in the news, so they're not going to care about you.

If you have never checked your home's title before, you're exactly who they're counting on.

So protect yourself today with Home Title Lock.

Do not let it change the name on your home's title.

Malcolm Jamal Warner.

You know the name.

He was the kid in the Cosby show.

He was the older brother.

Theo.

Yeah, Theo, or younger brother, actually.

He died.

He drowned.

And

obviously a tragedy.

He was 54.

Yeah, sucks, man.

That was not my reaction.

When I heard 54, yes, it sucks.

My reaction was was he was 54.

Meaning he doesn't look 54?

No, meaning like I can't believe that the kid that I used to watch on television was 54.

That was the 80s, though, right?

I know, I know.

It just goes by so fast.

It does.

I mean, 40 years ago.

That was 40 years ago, though.

Yeah.

You're looking at people, you know, that, you know,

you grew up with in your 20s.

You know, how old is Courtney Love now?

It's an interesting thing.

Did you grow up with her in your 20s?

No, I mean, but you did.

Yes,

1964.

She's

61?

60.

61.

61 years old?

61 years old.

Courtney Love is 61.

It's just, I don't know.

It's weird.

It's weird.

As the years go by, it's weird.

Yeah, yeah.

Very true.

Yeah.

Very true.

It's just like

people just are frozen in time.

And then all of a sudden you're like, wait,

what?

Strange.

This is Glenn Beck.

Let me tell you about chapter.

You could panic the moment you have to figure out Medicare, either for yourself or your loved one.

No one would blame you.

It's a tangled mess, but may I recommend you call chapter instead?

These guys are actually fun to work with.

How do you ever say that about anybody who's involving insurance or government?

But they can make sense out of a system that was basically designed to be as confusing as possible.

They'll walk you through all the options for yourself, your loved one, your mom or dad, Medicare, Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage, and Part D.

They explain all the pros, all the cons, the costs.

They help you figure out what is right for you and your family member.

On average, people will save

about $1,100 a year when they work with Chapter.

This is the last thing you need to deal with and get wrong.

Dial pound250, say the keyword chapter.

They'll help you out.

Pound250, keyword chapter, or go to askchapter.org/slash beck.

Chapter is your move for anything related to Medicare.

Pound250, keyword chapter.

Stand your ground when times get dark.

Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glenn Beck program.

It is always a good day when we have

Bill Usali on.

Bill is a guy we've had on several times.

He is a U.S.

Attorney for the Central District of California.

He's the guy going after,

you know, all the people that are funding these ICE

riots in the street.

He's going after the rioters.

He's going after the people that are attacking our federal officers.

But he also had a big arrest that was just announced.

A Chinese agent

caught in California and now facing justice with Bill.

The things that this guy stole for

years

and nobody caught him.

Thank God we caught him.

It is, it's cost our country a lot in national defense.

I'm going to have Bill tell the story in 60 seconds first.

Patriot Mobile is so incredibly important to live up to your principles every day in every way that you can.

You know, and not just the big things.

We all want to stand up for our beliefs when it really counts, defend faith, family, freedom, whenever they're under attack.

But sometimes it's the small decisions that matter just as much, the ones you make quietly, the one that nobody sees but you.

This is why I believe in the parallel economy.

Building businesses, supporting companies, putting your dollars towards people who share your values.

It matters.

It really does.

And one of the reasons that I subscribe to Patriot Mobile is that.

They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

They give you the same great nationwide coverage, the big guys, but with a huge difference.

They're actually fighting for the things you believe in.

Pro-life causes, religious freedom, Second Amendment rights, supporting our police, our military, our first responders.

Bill Usali.

Bill.

Yeah.

How are you?

Good.

How are you?

It is great to have you on again.

Let's start with what happened in San Diego with the arrests that you have just made

with the

prosecution of the U.S.

Chinese citizen.

Yes, this is an individual who is a dual citizen with the United States and China.

He got employed at some really sensitive technology companies where he stole trade secrets and other confidential proprietary information.

And we're not just talking about any proprietary confidential information.

We're talking about systems that are used to detect missile launches and ballistic and hypersonic missiles.

We're talking about nuclear program systems.

So, really, really sensitive, high-level stuff.

Working with the FBI's counterintelligence team, we're able to discover it, uncover it, and he has pled guilty.

And that was what we announced yesterday: he has pled guilty, and he will be facing federal prison time.

So, how much damage, how would you

where would you put this on all of the leaks that have come out over the years?

How bad is this one?

This is pretty bad.

I mean, you know, the difficulty, Glenn, is how do you assess how much damage that's actually done?

You know, this is just what we know,

and this is information that we know was transferred to China.

And what they're able to do with it,

it's almost hard to assess what the damage is.

But we've got to do better.

We've got to do better at screening the individuals who are working at these high-sensitive agencies and firms, and we've got to be better at detecting and stopping it because this is what China does.

They eat our lunch, they steal our trade secrets, and they do it almost in broad daylight.

First of all, how long has this been going on?

This particular individual, I mean, the information we have is it went back to 2014.

He's been taking information and sending it to China.

And how long has anybody been trying to figure this out and watching him?

I just got here in April.

Yeah.

I'm not sure.

And the thing is, there's a lot of people on, for example, the FBI's radar, but how aggressively they work those up and how aggressively they pursue those.

If you were to ask me, I think our resources are better spent going after cases like this than going after grandmothers who were on the Capitol in January 6th.

So this might have been sitting there for a while and nobody's doing anything about it.

That could have happened.

We don't know that.

Good heavens.

How long do you expect him to be in prison?

He faces up to 10 years in federal prison.

This is pretty substantial damage to the nation, so he could very well get a significant amount of time.

10 doesn't seem like a significant amount of time, but maybe it is.

I mean, I'm not on the receiving end of it, so

but it seems pretty significant.

So congratulations on this one.

Thank you for doing that.

Can we go to now the riots?

What have we found out about funding of these riots and

the coordination of these riots?

Well, I mean, this is active investigation, so I can't say too much, but I'll tell you, let's talk about the case we charged last week where this lady kidnapped, faked her kidnapping by ICE.

Ms.

Cardona.

This was all over the news, Glenn, on every local station here, press conference, that this mother was kidnapped by ICE at a jack-in-the-box, and she's disappeared.

This type of stuff keeps popping up here.

It's designed to inflame the public's emotions and to delegitimize our federal agents.

It's very organized.

And so what we saw there was an immigrant attorney group hold the press conference, coordinated with this lady's family, and they even had a GoFundMe and a financial structure set up to raise money off of it as well.

Well, we knew that she was not in our custody, so we were actually worried she might have actually been kidnapped by some bad actors.

So, we spent a tremendous amount of resources looking for this lady.

Turns out she was not kidnapped.

She staged the whole thing.

It was a hoax.

We got the surveillance tape from Jack in the Box and other places around there.

And she parked her car and calmly walked to another car and ended up at a house in Bakersfield.

And the whole thing was a hoax designed to inflame the public, support their media narrative, and to raise money.

And so that's just a little slice of the types of things that we're seeing happening surrounding our immigration enforcement operations here in Southern California.

And what happens to those people?

Well, they are under criminal investigation.

She has been charged, and we are working up the cases for the co-conspirators in the case.

So, I mean, we're looking at a country, Bill, and I know you know this.

I mean, we've talked several times, and you're really one of the good guys.

But the country is facing a time where if you don't start seeing justice, if we don't start seeing bad guys who clearly break the law go to jail, there's no credibility left anymore.

And I can't believe that you're one of the U.S.

attorneys in California of all places that is actually showing, no, justice still is possible and it's happening.

Go ahead.

It is possible.

It's happening.

It does take some time for us to put these things together.

And I want to set people's expectations.

I mean, I got here in April.

It does take time to build up federal cases.

England, you have to remember, I'm up against very hostile judges, a bench here in Southern California.

It's extremely left.

I have an office I inherited with...

left-leaning attorneys.

And, you know, I inherited an FBI office that, frankly needs culture change.

So there are a lot of challenges that we are working internally.

And that's something that I don't think people have appreciated.

The amount of reforms and work that's happening on the inside of the system, that we're trying to get things reoriented and reprioritized.

And

justice is coming.

It does take time to kind of reorient this ship that's been going in one direction for a really long time.

You know, I saw

I talked to somebody in Washington yesterday that is, you know, bringing forth some of these documents on

the different people that we're watching in the news now.

And they said that the problem is there's just not enough U.S.

attorneys.

And the Senate's just not doing their job.

There's a huge backlog.

And so there's, you know, when Pam Bondi or somebody goes to prosecute somebody, she can't hand it off to somebody that she trusts because

we don't have the attorneys that Trump is looking to put in place.

True, and how much of a role is that playing?

The problem is the blue slip.

I don't know how familiar the audience is with it, but

the Senate, by rule and tradition, not by law, have set up a system where they get to be kings of their state.

So in the blue states, nobody can be a judge and nobody can be a U.S.

attorney unless the hometown senators sign off on them.

That's the blue slip process in the United States Senate.

This keeps the president from having his people in office.

I'm in on an interim basis.

I have 120-day

expiration on my appointment, which expires on the 30th.

There is no appetite, apparently, in the U.S.

Senate to change this rule, and there is certainly no world in which Adam Schiff and Senator Padilla are going to agree to my nomination.

So today, Alina Haba, her fate will be decided up in New Jersey.

There is a process where the judges can confirm us as U.S.

attorneys.

They have basically signaled en masse they're not going to confirm any Trump U.S.

attorneys.

So we're going to see what happens.

We're going to see what happens here very soon.

But

at the end of the day, the president has to have his prosecutors in place.

This is the executive branch, and he won the election.

So these are some of the challenges that we're up against here at the DOJ.

When did this blue slip thing happen?

I've never even heard of that.

Oh, this is the blue slip's been around forever.

And

no, it's been around since I think over 100 years or something.

But

this is how the Senate works.

This is how senators get to be influential in their state.

So district court judges and U.S.

attorneys are subject to the blue slip.

Yeah.

That's not right.

If your state is corrupt,

your senators will be corrupt.

They're not going to.

Well, one of my senators tried to rush at the Secretary of State, if you recall, or Secretary of Homeland Security at one of our press conferences.

Right.

That's one of our senators.

Where is that?

What's happening with that?

He was not arrested.

He was detained.

And that's, you know,

that's the I think that's the end of it.

Do you ever get to the point to where you're like

nothing's going to change?

You know,

no, I do have hope.

Look, this was such a consequential election, and the president ran and had such a mandate on his reforms and what he wants to do.

And look, this is how they win, Glenn.

They've entrenched themselves into the system with all these rules and tricks and stuff.

And so we just got to outwork them and outfight them.

And I'm not willing to give up on our country for the alternative.

Bill.

Giving up.

Thank you.

Really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Your term is up at the end of this month?

Potentially.

We've got some tricks up our sleeves.

Good.

I hope so.

I hope so.

Thanks, Bill.

Appreciate it.

All right.

Thanks, bud.

Yeah, that's bad.

That's Bill Usali or Usaley.

He is a U.S.

attorney for Central District of California.

Did you know about the blue slip thing?

The only reason I

remember it was the guy who was

going after Hunter Biden.

They kept saying he was approved by Trump, which was like he was put through, but it was somewhere through that whole process where like it was actually had to be approved by the Delaware senators.

So it's like, I mean, you know, technically, as he pointed out, it's just a tradition.

It's not the law.

So it's a weird, it is a very weird

line.

And it's not a good one.

Why don't we have every U.S.

attorney and judge in every red state, the hanging judges?

I mean, if that's the case, why are we so milquetoast in a lot of places that we control?

These are great questions.

I mean, really?

Honestly.

I mean, I guess that just comes from having a milquetoast senator who would just not let those people through.

Wow.

I didn't know that.

All right, back in just a second.

Let me tell you about life lock.

Never stop to think about just how much your life exists online now, your bank account, credit cards, your mortgage, health records, your social security number, your driver's license.

And if you're like me, probably about a dozen passwords you think are clever, but a hacker is going to figure those out.

We don't even think about it half the time.

We just live our lives, clicking, yeah, I accept, I agree, here's my eye scan, handing out all of our information like it's candy on Halloween.

But meanwhile, out there somewhere, a bad guy is looking for a way in.

That's why I recommend Lifelock.

Oh my gosh.

It's just been, it's been a, it's, it's been a little exhausting over and over again.

Yeah, it is.

Uh, by the way, Nike has released an ad.

Uh, can we do the 2020 ad versus the 2025 ad?

Here's side-by-side images.

There's the 2021 ad.

Uh, a giant fat woman

grinding into like the camera

in spandex.

I mean, she's having fun, I guess, but I mean,

that's nice.

And it says, own the floor.

Next to it is the 2025 ad

featuring

the golfer Scotty Scheffler and his son.

Awesome.

Pro-family.

Think things have changed?

A little bit?

Yeah, the text on it is you've already won because this kid is like approaching him and grabbing onto the golf club.

He's having a great moment with his little kid.

And then, of course, he did go out and win anyway, also on top of that.

Yeah, but he already won.

He already won beforehand.

That's why he should give the trophy to somebody else.

Yeah, right.

They actually have released their follow-up because it was you already won.

And then the next one was, but another major doesn't hurt.

Oh, that's good.

You know, that's what they did a great job with it.

But I mean, that's

that just shows you how far we've come in four years, five years.

Look at that.

So you're telling me you don't want to own the floor?

Well, you're not interested in that process, whatever that process might be.

We had a really hard time with the, hey, fat, you can be fat and healthy.

No, not really.

Not for most people.

You know, no.

As a fat person, I know.

I mean, we have got experience on that.

Yeah.

You know, when you walk into the doctor's office and they put you on the scale and all they say is, whoa,

you know, that's not a good thing.

You know, it's not like, and I'm getting a contract with Nike, you know?

No.

No, no, you're not.

No, you're not.

Nobody thinks that looks good.

Nobody wants to see that.

No.

No.

Have some shame, man.

1700s, they liked it.

They did.

In the 1400s, they were into it.

You know why?

Because no one could afford food.

Right.

It was.

That was showing you were wealthy.

That's why people would whiten their skin.

Not because white is so cool, but because it showed you didn't have to work outside.

Right.

And now everyone's

tan because everybody works inside, and the tan shows I've got leisure time to just sit in the sun.

I mean, that's the only reason why we think tan is cool.

We used to think that you know, being pale, pale, pale was really cool.

Isn't that crazy?

I feel like we've made the right decision on that one.

I think we have have to.

The pasty white fat people in the paintings from back in the day, not so great.

Not so hot.

I'm trying to think back to a time, a painting that I've seen that would cause me to disagree with you, and I can't.

Good.

And I just, I can't do it.

You know, the shots of the big fat ladies on the couch, you know, just their butt showing, you're like, I don't.

That's hot.

I don't get that.

And I don't want it sitting, you know, in my dining room.

So I'm looking at her her big fat butt.

I don't, I mean, well, it's interesting.

Was that ever cool?

I mean, I don't understand that.

When was it cool to go look at a big fat butt and be acceptable for everybody?

You know what I mean?

There might have been some guys, you know, there had to be a ye old Jeffrey Epstein that was like, and it's 14 big fat butt.

You know, that's a 14-year-old fat butt right there.

But when was that ever acceptable?

Well, there's lots of things acceptable in that era that I don't want to think about.

But in this particular instance, I'm concerned about the upholstery.

You know, it just feels like a lot of people who, you know, naked sitting on furniture, I don't know what happens.

In that era, people did not smell great.

No.

There was not a lot of deodorant usage going on.

People were, I don't think, clean.

You know, kind of the theme of the show today has been we should admire some of the things that are going to be deodorant.

Great.

Let's just take a moment to say antiperspirant and deodorant.

Great job.

I don't care if it has aluminum cans in it.

You know, ground.

Ground up aluminum cans and, you know, hey, Glenn, you're going to die because you're going to turn into an aluminum can at some point.

Okay, but I didn't smell.

No notes.

Good job.

Yeah.

Good job.

You know, congratulations.

And by the way, for those of you who are like, I don't want all the aluminum cans, they do have, of course, alternatives to that.

Right.

But you got to be careful with how you're using it.

Because I do think that a lot of people think, oh, it says natural on it.

I must smell good.

Maybe you don't.

Maybe you don't.

Maybe not.

Maybe, maybe the alternative is maybe the exact opposite is true.

Yeah.

And just think about that a little bit when you're applying it.

That's all I'm asking.

Yeah.

And I mean, I don't know about anybody else.

My body is so weird.

So it adapts to everything.

Like even antiperspirant.

I have to have like five different antiperspirants because my body will be like, nope, I'm done with that one.

And you're like, wait a minute, what?

Yeah, I figured out your trick.

You're trying not to smell.

I got that.

I got it all the time.

I have to change all the time.

My body adapts to everything.

It is really weird and frustrating.

Is that only me?

As far as I know.

Am I a lizard person?

There's a possibility I'm a lizard person.

Gosh.

I mean, assuming lizard people have problems with any perspiring the owner.

I don't know.

This is Glenn Beck.

Everyone talks about the importance of keeping moving, staying active, stay busy, stay engaged.

Good advice until your body decides, you you know, to file a formal complaint.

It's hard to keep moving when your knees, your back, your shoulders are all sending you the same message.

Yeah, no, not today.

And that's the truth about pain.

It doesn't just slow down your body.

It slows down your spirit.

It shrinks your world.

But that's what there is to love about Relief Factor.

It opens it back up.

It's not some magic pill.

It's a daily supplement that is designed to fight pain at the source.

And it helps your body do it naturally.

Inflammation.

If you miss a minute of the show, you can always get it on the podcasts.

It's available wherever you get your podcasts or right at glundeck.com.

This is nuts.

I don't know if you saw this,

but the VOA, Voice of America, hired and sponsored hundreds of foreign journalists tied to the Chinese state media.

Brought them in,

worked with the Voice of America,

their

Chinese state media.

Why would we do that?

It's kind of like when he was saying, you know, we got to be careful, or guessed a minute ago, you know, we got to be careful of who we hire.

Yeah, you know, you are a you're a Chinese citizen.

I don't put you around our top secret stuff.

I mean, sorry, I don't, you're Chinese American.

Okay, well, I don't do that.

I want to make sure we do a background check just like I would for a German American or whoever.

But

if you're a Chinese citizen, no, I don't.

Why was that guy even around all of that secret stuff?

Yeah, it feels like we could find, you know, Americans will do those jumps.

I know.

It's like, and honestly, it's like this with the VOA.

There's lots of Americans that will sell their country down the river.

We don't need Chinese people to come in and take it.

There you go.

There's a million people.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

By the way,

everybody wants to say on the left, everybody wants to say Colbert was fired for political reasons.

Well, yes and no.

I mean, and I have to speak slowly because they don't understand how capitalism works.

But if you are out of step

with what people want because you've turned your whole show into nothing but a political ad that might have been cool for a while, but it's not what people want, you know, when they're going to bed and especially when you no longer look like you're the path to the future.

And yeah.

That's why he was fired.

It's not political.

It's because he made his show not entertaining and all about politics.

And so you only are getting half of the audience that you can get.

I mean, we do this by choice because we're a political show.

I wish more people would listen from the other side.

I think, you know, we can, we'd love to have you call in, participate, et cetera, et cetera.

But they generally don't.

But we're not a comedy late-night show.

That would be a horrible idea.

Yeah.

You're hesitating.

I'm hesitating because I'm thinking of Greg Guttfeld, who is is pretty generally conservative.

He's also funny.

Right.

He's leaning more on the left, and he'll make fun of Republicans.

Also on Fox News.

So you have that built-in base.

All you need is a little bit more.

You know what I mean?

And you can go mainstream.

But if

the old days,

if

Colbert was doing in the old days, I mean, their ratings were so low.

I mean, they used to have 15, 20 million people watching those shows at night.

What did he have?

Two or three i think he ended at one or he's still going on but he was at 1.9 million 1.9 million horrible horrible on a network i mean we used to have that at 5 p.m plus plus plus

that that's insanity yeah and colbert's doesn't do well on the on the internet either like fallon he's horrible he actually has higher Colbert has higher ratings than both Fallon and Kimmel when it comes to actual broadcast which is crazy when I 1.9 million he's beating the other shows wow However, those other shows do really well online, YouTube and all the other, all the, and social.

Kimmel does?

Kimmel does.

I mean, Fallon does very well.

Kimmel does okay on that stuff.

So that is part of it.

But I mean, so I think, I think you're right.

I think the dividing the country and saying, hey, half of you can't watch essentially because you'll hate it so much is a bad move.

You shouldn't do that.

I don't think that's the largest part of it.

I mean, part of it too is.

It's not funny.

He's not funny.

In addition, it is a format that is just, it's government bloat style programming.

They had 200 employees on that show.

It's an hour.

It's an hour.

They do four days a week, and I think it's 40 weeks a year.

And they have two.

That's more than an employee per episode.

And they're only doing 100.

That's like four times the amount this entire network has.

Yeah.

And how many shows are we we broadcasting?

That's insanity.

And

the show cost $110 million to produce every year and is currently making about $70 million.

You might note that's not a good arrangement.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

How much is it spending?

$110 million.

And it's only bringing in $70.

$70.

I'm not a mathematician,

but I think it's a little out of whack.

Losing $40 million a year.

Now, as of

pre-COVID.

How is he surprised?

Right.

Pre-COVID, they actually were profitable so this happened fast all these shows were profitable like 2018 2019 covet changed everything and that was part of the change but i mean it's just been dissolving because it's going it's a show that people don't re-watch right right and you know this it doesn't really work in streaming clips sometimes work for some of these shows but not for colbert i gotta tell you do you remember i mean this is how much it's changed do you remember when barbara walters used to do the seven most fascinating people of you know yeah well i 20 to remember that yeah Yeah.

So you remember when she did me one year?

You should rephrase that, but yeah.

So I was on that episode as one of her, I don't know, seven or 10 or whatever it was, most fascinating people.

And

they actually closed down Sixth Avenue.

Yeah.

They came in the day before with all these trucks and boxes and gear and everything else.

I mean, we had it all there.

We have our cameras.

You could just use them, but I know you won't.

But they came in the day before, spent all day moving pictures, moving lights, doing all this stuff.

It was a 10-minute interview.

So they did that all day.

Then all the next day until she showed up at like three o'clock in the afternoon.

They closed 6th Avenue in New York City.

They closed that block.

AKA Avenue of the Americas.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They closed that block because.

They had equipment and she was.

And I remember walking in on day number two and looking at Stu and saying, this is madness this is this is living you know in mad men you know when the networks had

all kinds of money they don't have this money anymore you can't you cannot have this kind of expense i don't have any idea how much that interview cost it has been incredible

i bet it was two hundred thousand dollars for seven minutes on the air i bet you're right at least it was insane it was completely insane And, you know, this is Colbert is just a giant show version of just that.

Yes.

And you see it whenever he wins an award, there's more people on the stage than in the crowd.

He's got like so many people that come on stage and tuxedos.

It's incredible.

Well, it's hard to get people to dance as vaccine needles.

Yeah, vaccine needles.

You do have to pay them for that.

Wow, that's crazy.

Another part of this is when he took over that show, the average age was 60.

And, you know, Colbert, he was coming off of, you know, the daily show.

He was sort of the young upstart guy.

Should have brought it down.

The goal was to bring it down.

It's now 68.

Wow.

And that's not that long ago.

But nobody's watching TV.

Do you ever watch TV?

I mean, occasionally, but it's usually for a sporting event or something like that.

That sports is so valuable.

Right.

I mean, you just don't watch TV anymore.

Certainly not that way.

No.

It's just not what you do.

No, and every time you watch it, you're like, oh my gosh, it just never stops.

It's just, you just realize how old it is.

It's just such an old format.

It doesn't feel like anything that is

like today.

It's also completely disingenuous how they're trying to sell this as like a Trump politics thing.

I know you mentioned that a little bit earlier, but like, so the behind the scenes part of this is the producers' contracts run from

September to August.

That's how their contracts run.

His contract ends in May.

So they knew, again, they're not firing him.

Everyone's saying, no, he got fired.

He's not getting fired.

They're just not renewing his contract.

His contract ends in May.

And so they had to go to these producers and say, hey, your new contracts will not be, as they've always been, September to August, but now will become September to May.

So they had to tell them that, which meant they had to tell Colbert, which of course, you know, he had to go tell his staff and the audience.

That's why it's coming out now.

They all know that.

Everyone behind the scenes knows that.

Colbert knows that.

Stewart knows that.

Kimmel knows that.

Fallon knows that.

Seth Meyers, they all know that's why it came out.

In fact, you can make an argument, if you liked Colbert, to say that it was kind of like a nice thing for him to do in a little bit of advance.

He wanted to tell his staff so they knew it was coming, right?

Now, they would have figured it out when they were negotiating these contracts in a few weeks, but whatever.

It was, you know, he was, but they know why that was told.

They know why it came out now.

And they're all acting like it's only out because of this Paramount deal, which is a complete lie.

They all know it's a lie.

And they're all telling it to the American people anyway.

And their idiotic, you know, left-wing blog believers are all like, yeah, I can't believe this.

Can you believe that?

It's Trump.

It's Trump doing that.

Now, look, the Paramount deal going through, is it kind of a positive timing-wise for Paramount?

Yeah, sure.

I mean, I think them being able to go to Trump and saying, hey, Colbert's going to be off the air soon is great.

But like, if they really wanted to do that, they would get him off the air tomorrow.

Yeah, it's nothing to do with Donald Trump.

It really has nothing to do with it.

It's nothing to do with Donald Trump.

By the way, he just, in a press conference, he just said Fed Share Powell will be out soon.

There's another interesting one.

And on the flip side of a kind of positive way to do business, South Park.

I mean, remember, South Park was like this crazy

clip art almost kind of show when it first came out.

It was, it was one of the first

quote-unquote viral videos.

The initial version of it came out in 1992.

Holy cow.

That's a long time.

They, of course, eventually turned into a Comedy Central series.

And it was always really consistent in whatever politics you'd say it has, which was kind of like a libertarian, but make fun of everybody.

Make fun of everybody.

Yeah.

They

very, very, now again, it had one of the first viral videos in the 90s, were kind of on the internet thing.

Yeah, kind of.

And went to

their corporate overlords and said, hey, you know, we'll take maybe a little bit less money in this contract, but we want to get 50%

of all digital rights

in perpetuity.

Oh, my God.

Which is a deal they actually got in the mid-2000s, I think.

Like early, early,

not even early, early internets, but like before YouTube really caught on, right?

Before phones.

Yeah, before it really went crazy.

They just signed a deal yesterday, $300 million

a year

for five years for these streaming rights, $1.5 billion total value, at least as it's being reported.

Now, I will say, on the other side of that, they do have to make 10 episodes a year.

So there's

to do that.

How do they do that?

And that's something.

You know, this is why we need more illegal aliens.

Look at this.

If we had more illegals that would make South Park episodes, we could have more, and it wouldn't be $300 million a year.

Yeah.

I mean, think at this point.

Wow.

If they're getting 50% of those rights, we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars for each of these guys.

And what it's, by the way, same, it's Paramount, same company that just got rid of Colbert.

It's not like they're not going to spend money, but they will.

There's something of value there.

But they're also canceling the whole late night thing on CBS, aren't they?

Yeah, they're not just going away from Colbert.

Yeah, they recognize that format's over.

It's dead.

It's only a matter of time before all of them are out.

All right, back in a minute.

You know whatever, nobody ever says, you know, after a full night's sleep, wow,

slept really well, regret that.

Nobody feels bad about getting fully rested.

But you know what we do regret is that third cup of coffee at 2 p.m., the endless scrolling at midnight, the tossing and turning at 3 a.m., wondering why our brains just won't turn off.

Trump is currently giving an impromptu press conference.

He's meeting with the

president of the Philippines and the press just started to ask a question.

Can you bring this up a bit?

Coming.

So President Obama, it was his concept, his idea, but he also got it from crooked Hillary Clinton.

Crooked is a $3 bill.

Hillary Clinton,

he didn't put Hillary Clinton in prison, and maybe he should have, but he thought, you know, that's not the way to do things here.

And so he didn't do it.

He said, now, Barack Obama, and I think he's right.

I mean, there's more information coming out this week, and I am told that it is very damning on Barack Obama.

But, you know, let's wait until it comes out.

But he just said he is guilty.

The signatures are on the paper.

It's all very clear when you look at the whole case.

And he said,

you know,

we're going after Barack Obama.

That's, he said.

That's who the DOJ should go after.

That's a sitting president saying his DOJ should go after a former president.

And a sitting president that went to the Supreme Court to argue that sitting presidents are immune.

Right?

Yeah.

I mean,

that was a big part of that argument they made.

Now,

they might be saying it's not an official duty, which might fall, might be the out there.

But that was a big...

No, I think that was an official duty.

He was, I mean, at least that's the way that's

how Susan Rice would look at it.

Yeah.

They'll say, well, he was.

However,

they might be able to make a case that it was a coup,

and that will change everything.

If the Supreme Court would get that and go,

he was saying change this

because he was doing something untoward.

If they read it the way it seems to read.

then

I think you're in a different category.

Yeah, I don't know.

We'll see where this goes.

It's fascinating.

It is fascinating.

Fascinating.

Yeah.

Well, there's another thing we've never seen before.

Wonder how this is going to work out.

Going to be fun to watch, see how it all works out, isn't it?

Because I've released the outcome to the universe.

I'm screaming at it as it's going towards the universe, but I'm releasing it now to the universe.

We will see it tomorrow.

God bless.
