Welcome to the program.
My Patriot Supply sometimes feels things feel a little unstable.
Oh, but supply chains are vulnerable.
Conflicts overseas keep escalating.
Even our own power grid isn't exactly a model of stability these days.
You see the latest on that?

the Glen Beck Program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.
We're glad you're here.
I don't know what universe I'm living in.
There's some really, really good news.
You know, it is so weird because every day it's either really, really good news, like unbelievable good news, or just like, what is happening on the bad side?
Wouldn't you like a day where we just kind of slip it into neutral and drift for a couple of hours?
Not gonna happen today.
Good news on tap.
We'll give you that here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
Every now and then, it's worth asking yourself, who benefits from the choices I make?
For instance, when you pay your phone bill every month, who are you funding?
You think it's just the phone company right but if you're with one of the big woke wireless companies the answer might surprise you your hard-earned money could be supporting abortion lobbies radical gender politics even groups working to limit your second amendment rights this is why patriot mobile exists they're america's only christian conservative wireless provider and they've built their business around one simple idea your money should support the values you believe in, not fight against them.
Patriot Mobile gives you access to the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers, but that is a mission that will line up with yours.
They support free speech, religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and the Second Amendment.
So if you're tired of the
phone bills working against you, make a different choice.

All right, I
don't.
I don't.
I can't.
I can't believe I'm alive to see the day when the Senate actually passes the defunding of NPR and PBS.
I've been
doing this forever and forever I've wondered, how come we have to pay for everything and they don't?
How come we have to do it, but they don't.
And then, and then it was like, and we're paying them to do the things that we're against.
At least half the country is against what they do.
Why are we paying?
And then
the bird and the guy in the garbage can show up.
And you're like, my kids want their plush toy.
And every time I say, you know, maybe they can fund themselves, everybody says, you want to kill Big Bird?
Big Bird is living in a penthouse.
Okay, Big Bird can afford the bird seed.
Do you know how much money these guys have made?
And yesterday the Senate votes to default.
I don't.
But here's what makes me really happy.
Here's the PBS.
uh CEO.
Listen to this cut five.
We're always interested, obviously, in making sure that we're serving a multiplicity of viewpoints.
You know, Bill Buckley made his home on public broadcasting with a series called Firing Line, which continues today with Margaret Hoover.
We are interested in having different perspectives that we bring forward.
But when I look at the range of our programmings on public broadcasting,
I can't make any sense of an argument that we are somehow biased in any way.
Okay.
Okay, whatever.
Whatever.
Here's the case I'd like to make.
You got to make money just like everybody else.
We're not living in a communist system.
Why are we paying like, why are we paying for stuff that most people don't use?
Why?
When they can make the money themselves, they can do it on their own.
Why would we pay for a government?
Why?
I don't care who it is.
Let's say they were all just the big organ of the the Republican Party.
Would you want that?
I don't.
I wouldn't want to fund that either.
Why?
Why would we fund a government-run institution that is supposed to be giving us facts?
Do you trust the government on anything?
Because I don't.
I don't want to hear it from the GOP.
I don't want to hear it from the DNC.
And here's the idea.
You can make money
on your own.
Yeah,
I know it's crazy.
It's crazy.
Why not?
Why?
Well,
for the first time, first time I don't have to make that argument to a member of the Senate.
They voted them out.
Funding done as long as it goes through the House.
House, we're so close.
We're so close, please.
We're so close.
Now, I will tell you
that millions of children are going to die.
Millions of children are going to starve to death.
They will go uneducated.
They will not know anything about the Wright brothers.
They will never even know what a documentary is.
They'll just be indoctrinated by these hateful people on the right,
you know, that are running things like
ABC and NBC.
What?
Just know, millions of children are going to die.
You're going to hear a lot of that.
But as long as the House does their job, too late.
I mean, may I just take a moment and admire what has happened in the last six months?
Six months ago, would you have even thought we could get to NPR and PBS?
Six months ago, when he holds his hand up, it's like, I promise to be a president.
I'm going to be a good one.
I'm going to protect and defend the Constitution.
Whatever that is.
He stands up there and says that.
Did you even think that we would get to a point to where NPR and PBS were out?
Nope.
Nope.
Not for a second.
Not for a second.
So let's just take a moment and admire.
No, House.
If you screw this up,
what are the odds it actually?
I would have said zero yesterday.
I was talking to Senator, who was it?
Senator Schmidt, and I was like, really?
I mean, come on, it's going to.
And he's like, no, I'm pretty optimistic.
I'm like, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, oh, yeah, so am I.
And it passed.
Yeah.
It's fantastic.
Well, let's say hello to Pat Cray.
Hello.
Hi, Pat.
Now that you've covered the happy talk.
Oh, boy.
Are you going to be Debbie Downer?
Afraid so.
Really?
I'm a a little pissed off today.
Oh, are you?
Yeah.
Just a little.
I can't imagine.
No, actually a lot.
Okay.
I'm on fire pissed off today.
You really?
You don't sound it?
You know,
this whole thing that
they ratcheted up,
including President Trump, ratcheted up because they got our expectations so high that this Epstein situation was going to be dealt with.
We were going to find out the real story on what happened to him in the jail cell.
We're going to find out the real story on who was abusing these children for years.
We're going to find all that out.
It's coming out day one.
As soon as we're in office, we're doing it.
Believe me.
Okay, we wait five months for it and then we're told, oh, I'm sorry, none of that exists.
What?
That's...
That is not a hoax that we've been ratcheting up.
I don't even think it's a hoax.
The Democrats ratcheted up.
They did that to us.
The people in office now are the people who got our expectations this high.
It's really
sacked me off.
I heard someone on your show today call in and say,
I am so pissed.
I'm a supporter of Donald Trump.
I have been.
I voted for him.
And now he's calling me stupid.
Now he's calling me a traitor or whatever.
No.
Sweetheart, take that off your plate.
He's not.
He's calling me stupid.
Well, that's true.
He's calling
me and people like me, including you, Pat.
Yes.
He's calling people like us
stupid.
Not you.
He's not saying that.
That whole message is not directed to you.
Just like when he sat down in the cabinet room
and he said to the New York Post reporter, are you even, that's a stupid question.
Are you even thinking?
You're still talking about that.
That was not directed to the American people.
That wasn't even directed just solely to the guy from the post.
That was directed to all of the other reporters in the room.
You want some of this?
Because I'll give it to you.
Yeah.
Okay.
It was an intimidation tactic.
So he is not, he's not mad at you.
He's not calling you names.
He's calling people like me names.
All right.
And quite honestly,
wish he wouldn't.
But, you know, it just comes with our job.
It just comes with our job.
The president, if the president likes you, no president has ever liked me.
If the president likes you, great.
If he doesn't like you, oh well.
This is our job.
Okay.
And my job is not to help him get elected, even though I think I, you know, on my personal time, I think I did that
because I so believed this is the end of the country without him.
And I still believe
he is moving towards the best president in the history of the country, absent George Washington, Abraham Lincoln.
And he might, if we go through what I think we're going to go through, he might actually rival Abraham Lincoln.
So
I have tremendous respect for what he's doing.
Only time will tell if any of that is true, and history will judge.
But on the pace that he's at right now and the things that he has done, it is remarkable.
It's breathtaking.
It's breathtaking.
So I applaud him for all of those things.
I'm a huge fan of all of those things, but not on this.
And I'm just not going.
Look,
I'm in this weird position, this really weird position.
internally here.
I've got half the staff saying, well, I have the entire staff saying,
you really don't want Donald Trump as an enemy.
And I'm like, yeah,
he's been an enemy before.
Not pleasant.
It's not
pleasant.
That's very pleasant.
But I've been here before.
And part of me that says, oh, no, not again.
But that's just the job.
I have everybody warning me, oh, you don't want to do that.
Then I have people warning me everywhere, you're going to alienate half your audience.
I can't worry about that.
Okay.
I'm not doing this for business.
I could, believe me, I would have retired a long time ago.
I'm doing this because I believe in something and I believe in truth.
We're supposed to be pursuing truth.
Okay.
Now half my staff says,
this is absolutely real.
This is a cover-up, blah, blah, blah.
And half the staff says there's nothing there.
And so I had to get between the staff today and have, and they're all so honest and nobody's playing politics with this.
I have the best staff, I think, of anyone in radio or broadcast and maybe the history of radio and broadcast.
These guys are so dedicated.
But
I'm going to rat Jason out because Jason absolutely believes this is a conspiracy.
That's fine.
That's fine.
And I asked him because he's head of research.
I said, guys, I want you to go and I want you to spend the next few days and I want you to track where did this begin?
When did this begin?
When was it we first started hearing about files?
When did we first start hearing about, you know, Bill Clinton is on that list, executives are on that list.
Was it back in 2008, 9, 10, 11?
Because if it started then,
it wasn't about politics.
Because right now,
after 2016, that's when everything went crazy.
Things were bad in 2010.
But
it was
the Obama administration going after
Jeffrey Epstein at the time.
Okay.
What did they say back then?
Was there all this evidence that they had collected and not used?
When did it become a conspiracy that it was being hidden?
Now, I went to Grock today.
I don't trust Grok.
That's why I have actual researchers.
But I asked Grock today, when was it?
And it said it started around 2019.
Now, I don't think that's right.
That's not right.
That's not right.
No, that's not right.
That's not right.
But anything after 2016,
I throw up red flags everywhere because then it's all about politics.
It's either about getting Donald Trump or getting somebody elected,
which leads me to there's nothing in this about Donald Trump because they would have used it.
I believe that, too.
You know, he cannot be in this because
they would have used it.
The other thing is people are saying he's not releasing this because he's got friends involved or there's big donors involved or the GOP.
Donald Trump would burn the GOP down to the ground if he could.
Are you kidding me?
He'd burn it down to the ground.
And with an exception of like Kavanaugh, which he was wrongly accused, tell me the person that has been in the administration, his administration, that has done something stupid or wrong that he spent any political capital trying to save.
If you did something wrong, you screwed something up.
He's like, see ya.
Okay, right?
He doesn't spend that capital.
Why would he spend this much capital today?
For a friend?
For
a supporter?
We know it's not him because they would have used it against him.
It's not a supporter
because he doesn't, he has no record of spending political capital unless you're wrongly accused.
Then he did it, Kavanaugh.
He spent a lot of political capital on that.
So what's his motivation?
I did a show last night.
Man, it is on fire right now,
the number of views it has.
And I don't know if any of his right, but I walked on the set last night and I had this whole script that we had prepared for days.
We'd been working on it.
and we had guests line up and everything else.
And I walked on the set and I put the script down and I looked at Jason and I said, Jason, I hate to say this to you.
Take the script out of Prompter.
I don't, I can't, I can't honestly say any of this anymore because of his tweet yesterday.
Something in that tweet stuck out.
And something in that tweet made me go, wait a minute,
something's really wrong here.
I'll give that to you here in just a second.
And you can see it on my YouTube page at glennbeck.com/slash YouTube.
It's last night's TV show.
Let me tell you about rough greens.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and
there's a good reason for it.
It's not just about filling your stomach, it's about starting your body off with the right nutrients, giving your cells what they need to function, and setting the tone for how you feel and perform the rest of the day.
So, why wouldn't the same thing be true of your dog?
Most dog food, even the expensive stuff, isn't giving your dog what they really need because it's it's dead food.
It's processed.
It's shelf stable.
That's code for.
They cook everything in it that could go bad.
If anything that could go bad has been cooked out, that means there's nothing left that's alive.
And you have to have those nutrients.
You have to have the probiotics, the vitamins, the minerals, the antioxidants.
all the live nutrients that your dog needs and you need.

You see what I mean?
Oh my gosh.
10 seconds, we're back to the show.
Okay, I have some, I have some more good news for you, some great stuff, but I just want you to hear me out.
What people are saying now, what Donald Trump is saying is there's nothing in this.
There's nothing in it.
There isn't anything.
And you know what?
I began to really think about this last week when they were throwing up all kinds of walls.
And I'm like, okay, why would you say that?
Well, maybe there's nothing in it.
This is my first thought.
Maybe there's nothing in it that is provable.
Okay.
Maybe these names are out there, but you can't prove anything.
And it has had, now this is key, this is my thinking last week.
They have the fingerprints of a thousand people on it.
They have it sat around at the Justice Department on God knows whose desk or in what vault and who had access to it for at least four years under the Democratic control.
So you don't know what's true.
You don't know what's been taken out.
You have no idea.
I was thinking last week, what was taken out?
Then Donald Trump yesterday said, this is a hoax.
No, it's not a hoax.
Wait a minute.
He said it was a hoax written by the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton, Brennan, and all the usual suspects.
And he said, written by.
Is it possible that all of a sudden, lo and behold, gee, we look through it, look who's in here?
And he can't prove other than that I didn't do that.
I didn't do that.
Or there's something in there that has been written by the left, Brennan in particular.
You don't think Brennan would do this?
If he was actually there, Donald Trump would not be the president today.
Okay?
They would have used it.
But maybe it was a booby trap.
Knowing he was running on that, go ahead, release it.
Release it.
Look what, oh, look what you'll find.
Booby trap.
So they always put us in a lose-lose situation.
Is that possible?
This is Glenn Beck.
It is easy to think of sacrifice as something that lives in the past, something that you read about in history books or see it in old black and white newsreels.
But every day, somewhere in America, there is a first responder or a member of our military who puts that uniform on, knowing they might not come home.
They don't do it for praise.
They don't do it for recognition.
They do it because that's who they are.
And when the worst happens, when a hero falls, You know, there's a moment where a family wonders how they'll ever put their lives back together.
And that's where the Tunnel to Towers Foundation comes in.
They step up to pay off the mortgages for the Gold Star families and the families of the first responders killed in the line of duty.
And they build smart homes for the severely injured veterans.
And they provide hope and relief and the dignity in the midst of the unimaginable loss.
Because sacrifice isn't just a story from the past.
It is still happening every day.
And it still deserves our support.
Can you be part of the good that they're doing?
Please donate $11 a month to Tunneltwettowers at t2t.org.
That's t, the number2t.org.
Get involved in the Central Texas flood cleanup by donating at mercury1.org.
Relentlessly pursuing truth.
That's what we try to do here.
Relentlessly pursue truth to the best of our ability.
I can't tell you what's true, what's not.
I can tell you to the best of my ability what I think is true.
And there's a lot of stuff that I don't know what's true or not yet, but we're relentlessly pursuing it because I believe the truth will set you free one way or another.
And that is a message truly of faith.
The truth shall set you free.
That's scriptural.
And it is a testament to faith.
Do you believe universal truth, i.e.
God and his truth, his absolute universal and eternal truth, wins?
I believe that.
The good guys win eventually.
May not win in my lifetime, but it wins because the truth will always win.
That is a belief in God.
That's where that comes from.
And this is really super hard.
But I think this is the first challenge that I have had since the 2020 election.
Because I made a promise to myself, I'm not going to be married into any outcome.
Because the 2020 election,
it didn't go our way.
But,
or did it?
Or did it?
Because Donald Trump is doing more this term in six months than he could have done in the last four years of his
of 2020.
And he's a different man and he knows who he serves.
It's different now.
So I actually think what we thought should have happened, would have been the best thing for us in 2020 was not.
God didn't give us what we wanted.
He gave us what we deserve.
and what falls in line with his plans because I do believe it's good versus versus evil.
And I don't mean that the Democrats are evil.
I believe there is a force of evil that is using people on both sides, but generally it is coming from the left.
Evil is a force to be reckoned with.
And there are forces of good as well.
And they have nothing to do with political parties.
But I just know God's will be done.
And so I've tried to surrender after 2020.
I was like, okay, well, I'm not going to get wrapped up in that anymore.
And then I saw the good that came of it.
And I'm like, wait a minute, wait a minute.
I shouldn't have a horse in the race.
I should just be pursuing truth and not my way.
Just pursue truth and know that it's all going to work out the way it's supposed to.
That again is trust in God.
So anyone who is saying,
either Donald Trump, you need to lay off or Donald Trump, you know,
he's a villain,
That's you.
And I don't want to get caught up in this.
That's you.
That's coming from.
Do you put your faith in God or do you put your faith in Donald Trump?
We trust Donald Trump.
I think my pursuit is because I like Donald Trump.
I believe he's doing a great job.
And I think the deep state is screwing with Donald Trump.
And I don't know who's part of the deep state and who's not.
I don't believe he is.
I trust him.
But you know what?
You put your trust in men every time that will fail you.
So, you know, don't do that.
I believe that he is doing the best he can.
And I might find out later that, you know, I was wrong.
Oh, well, God's will be done.
I'm not going to trust in any man.
I'm going to trust in God.
And I suggest that it doesn't mean we don't relentlessly pursue the truth.
I'm not going to stop pursuing the Epstein thing,
but I am not going to take it with a vengeance of, I've got to prove
what?
That he's lying or that he's telling the truth.
I have my suspicions, but I just want the truth.
That's all I want.
Don't take things personally.
Otherwise, we are going to end up in civil war.
We're going to.
And we will destroy everything.
Because when you are angry,
when we are forcing our will,
I mean, there was a lot of people in 2020 that were like, they're cheating.
They're cheating.
Maybe we should cheat too.
No, no, we shouldn't.
No, we shouldn't play their game.
I don't want to become them.
And that's the only way we win in the end is if we surround ourselves with truth all of the time.
So, who do you serve?
I serve God.
Who do you trust?
I trust God.
And it's not up to me to be the arbiter of truth or to get my way or to win.
It's my way to do my part in pursuing truth.
That's it.
Let the chips fall where they may.
Now,
let me take you to someplace, I mean, I think kind of entertaining.
Michelle Obama has a podcast.
Who knew?
She does it with her brother.
Who knew?
It's you know, I mean, it's so it's a podcast with two brothers, right?
Uh, and uh,
and they wanted to address the rumors that they're getting a divorce, and this thing seems so staged.
I want you to this listen to this awkward exchange on the podcast.
Cut one, please.
Wait, you guys like each other?
Oh, yeah, really, huh?
That's the rumor meal.
It's my husband, y'all.
She took me back
Now, don't start.
I can't.
It was touch and go for a while.
It's so nice to have you both in the same room together.
I know, because when we aren't, folks think we're divorced.
There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting
my man.
And we've had some.
really hard times.
So we had to have had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures.
And I have become a better person because of the man I'm married to.
Okay, don't make me cry now.
Right at the beginning of it, I believed her.
Now,
start tearing up now.
And welcome to IMO.
I don't necessarily believe that's all.
Get you all teared up.
See, but this is why I can't talk.
See, you can take the hard stuff, but when I start talking about the sweet stuff, you're like, stop.
No, I can't do it.
I love it.
I'm enjoying it.
But thank you, honey, for being on our show.
Thanks for making making the time.
We got
a great show.
I've been listening.
Of course, I've been listening.
They're doing good.
What?
No, they're not doing good.
They're not doing good.
Okay.
All right.
And then there was this at the beginning.
And some people say this was very awkward.
Some people say, no, it was very nice.
It was very nice.
When he walks in the room, he gives her a hug and a kiss.
Watch.
You can't be fine.
How are you?
Gives her a little peck on the cheek.
Does that look like they're
totally into each other?
I'll give my wife a peck on the cheek occasionally if she walks into a room.
If she walks into a room, I'm not.
If you haven't seen her in months, and it seems like they haven't.
All right, well, that's.
Would you kiss her on the cheek?
Probably a little different.
It would be a little different, but I wouldn't make our first
seeing of each other on television either.
So, you know, that's true.
That is true.
But I, you know,
in listening to the staff talk about this, and they were like, it was a really uncomfortable.
Okay, well, maybe.
I think it was a little uncomfortable.
It was a little uncomfortable, but I mean, it's still, you know, maybe, maybe.
But I don't think that rivals, and I can't decide which is the worst, most uncomfortable kiss.
Let me roll you back into the time machine
to Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley.
Do you remember this kiss?
And
turns away immediately away from the camera because he's like,
He was about to vomit.
Yeah,
it was so awkward.
When that happened, all of us went, Oh my gosh, he has only kissed little boys.
What are we doing?
What is happening?
He doesn't like women.
What is happening?
And then there's the other one that sticks out in my mind: and I'm not sure which is worse: the Lisa Marie
or
the tipper tipper in Al Gore.
The kiss.
The famous exchange during the 2000 Democratic presidential convention was to some lovely, to others, icky.
That's an ABC reporter.
To some, lovely, others, icky.
And it really was.
And it was, I believe his global warming stuff more than that kiss.
And you know where I stand on global warming.
Yeah.
That was the most awkward kiss, I think, ever on television.
Yeah.
It was pretty bad.
Yeah.
Pretty bad.
Yeah.
So when, when, when people who are, you know, these youngsters these days, they look at Barack and Michelle and go, that was an awkward kiss.
Don't even start with, we knew when we were kids, we knew what awkward kisses were like.
The other awkward thing about that is she claims that there hasn't been one moment in their marriage where she has considered um leaving him yeah
she
just said a while ago i don't know a month within a year ago she hated his guts for 10 years
she hated him for 10 years doesn't mean that you're going to give up it does i guess not
i guess not i mean i gotta be i gotta be miserable i don't know i gotta be no i have to tell you the truth My grandmother, when I got a divorce, it has just busted me up forever.
I call her up and I said, on my first marriage, grandma,
we're getting a divorce.
And my sweet little 80-year-old grandmother, who never said a bad thing in her life, said,
excuse me.
And I said,
what?
We're getting a divorce.
And she said, how dare you?
I was like, what's happening?
And she said, I really thought you would be the one that would understand.
Out of of everybody in this family, I thought you would understand.
And I said, What?
And she said,
This just crushed me when she said it.
Do you think your grandfather and I liked each other all those years?
I was like,
Well,
yeah, kind of.
And she said, We loved each other, but we didn't always like each other.
And there were times that we were so mad at each other, but we knew one thing: marriage lasts until death.
Did she know your first wife?
Okay.
All right.
That's just not necessary.

This is Glenn Beck.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We're glad you're here.
Let's see here.
There was an advisor.
You know, what was it?
Last week that
Joe Biden's doctor
said, I can't violate attorney, I mean,
patient, physician
confidentiality.
Yeah.
So I can't say about his health.
So I plead the fifth.
And, you know, personally, I've got a lot to say on that.
Sorry, but the president kind of belongs to the country in that case.
When there's a real problem,
we have to know.
Okay.
Like, for instance, I don't know if most people know this, but the president can't say, I'm going here.
If the Secret Service says, no, sir, you're not, the Secret Service wins because
they work for the Constitution and so does the President.
And the President is a representative of the people and it's their job to keep him and the Constitutional Order in place.
So the President can say whatever he wants, but if he's putting himself in extreme danger, sorry, sir, you're not going parachuting this weekend.
Okay.
And I think the same should be true with his health.
I don't need to know all the ins and outs of his health and everything else.
But if there's something wrong,
we should be able to know that.
And clearly there was something wrong with Joe Biden.
And so when we're investigating and we have to know, because how do we put up, how do we make sure that doesn't happen again?
We have to know.
But he says, I can't violate it.
Okay.
well, we could take that to court if we had to.
But there is another advisor.
This is a Biden advisor, not a doctor.
Cut two.
Mr.
Bernal, did you ever advise President Joe Biden to pardon his son, Hunter Biden?
On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
Mr.
Bernal, was President Joe Biden fit to exercise the duties of the president?
On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
Wow.
Let the record reflect that Mr.
Bernal has invoked the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Mr.
Bernal, please be very clear.
Are you declining to answer the question put to you solely on the ground that you believe the answer will incriminate you?
On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
Wow.
Mr.
Bernal,
did any unelected official or family member of President Joe Biden execute the duties of the presidency.
On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
Did President Joe Biden ever instruct you to lie regarding his health at any time, including but not limited in your testimony to Congress today?
On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
Okay, some of that.
All right.
Wow.
Was he fit to exercise the duties of the president?
That one's easily answerable.
Yes, of course he was.
Right.
Right.
What are you afraid of on that particular question?
I mean,
uh,
that doesn't bode well for
the former president and the outgoing administration.
This thing is going to come crashing down.
You watch next 12 months.
Going to be very interesting to watch.
This is Glenn Beck.

We have a really exciting announcement about restoring truth to our schools.
Something that
Mercury One or the American Journey Experience and Wall Builders have been working on together with some partners to change the way our schools operate internally.
And the good thing is, there's two laws that have just been passed,
and we need to spread this.
And we're going to tell you all about it here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about Z Factor.
You ever think to yourself, I bet Darth Vader would have been a lot friendlier guy if he would have gotten sleep.
I mean, imagine sleeping in that mask?
I mean, that's worse than a sleep apnea mask.

It does make you cranky, irritable, short-tempered, and a little like Darth Vader, I'm just saying.

all right
there is a website i want you to go to it's called restoreamerican schools.com
and it is a partnership with the american journey experience if you don't know what the american journey experience that is a an offshoot of mercury one it is our history department and you're going to be hearing a lot about the american journey experience soon um but this is the this is the one that we are collecting all of the documents we're preserving history, and we're teaching history.
So we put a partnership together with Patriot Mobile, American Journey Experience, and Wall Builders, plus the Pro Family Legislative Network, which is an amazing organization.
Ten other groups have all gotten together.
And this is a movement to restore the Ten Commandments back into public school classrooms.
This is really, really important.
The commandments were in, you know, in our education system for 150 years.
Our textbooks, it was hanging in many classroom walls.
You know, it's what the Supreme Court justices look at when they are sitting at the bench adjudicating.
They look, and right in front of them is Moses with the Ten Commandments.
Why?
The Ten Commandments are critical for a free society.
Why?
Oh, here he goes on that God stuff.
No.
Hear me out.
Commandment number one, you'll have no other gods before me.
Oh, see, there's a gods.
No, no, no.
This doesn't have to be about
theological differences, okay?
This is a warning against idolatry in all of its forms.
When we make the state or money or race or creed or technology, anything the ultimate authority, we create a God that will consume us.
Okay.
This commandment teaches teaches us that the truth comes from something much, much higher.
It's the beginning of limits on power, limits on government, because they are not a God.
I want to show you how the Ten Commandments alone can restore our republic.
You just have to know how to read them without
just focusing on the religious aspect of it.
So,
no God
before me.
No king, no mob, no party, no job, nothing, nothing.
You shall not make yourself a carved image.
Okay.
I haven't made a graven image in
a very long, in fact, maybe ever.
I don't think I've made, I've always skated past number two because I'm like, got that one down.
You know?
Hey, Lord,
you say what you want, but I never made a graven image.
This is actually when people begin to serve images instead of truth.
Because tyranny always follows.
This frees your mind.
It's a call to seek truth, not manipulation.
All right?
We are full of images in the media, manufactured images.
And its relevance with AI, which is now creating images that will be your partner, your lover, your friend.
Don't create those images.
Now that is more urgent than ever, because if you bond with that, now you've made that technology your God.
So now you've got the graven image thing and God.
You shall not take the Lord of the name,
the Lord thy God, in vain.
This is not just about
cursing.
This is about the misuse of moral authority.
And I learned that we have now American Journey Experience.
We have the largest collection of Jamestown and pilgrim documents and artifacts in the world.
And one of the things that
the pilgrims printed right before the king went and tried to get him was
a
little pamphlet almost, and it was going to their church in Perth, England.
And they printed it it and said, don't do these things.
They're not in the Bible.
But their testimony is on the front page.
And I didn't understand this at first.
All it said was, you shall not take the Lord thy God's name in vain.
And I'm like, okay, they got, all right, I know that.
So they're not swearing in the pamphlet.
What does that mean?
No.
It means we will not misuse our moral authority.
We will not invoke God or any higher cause for wicked ends.
They're saying, we know
we are speaking on behalf of God.
We know the punishment for that.
So we are telling you the truth.
That is, I mean, that's an amazing thing.
If you could live that one so much, where your testimony is,
I know that.
I know the commandment not to take the
Lord God's name in vain.
Number four, remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
Well, I don't want it.
What is that?
What is that for
Western society?
What does that mean?
You don't work seven days.
Now, where would the progressive movement be
if they couldn't stop child labor?
Well, not in pot farms, but if they couldn't stop child labor under Teddy Roosevelt,
do you think we would have it?
Do they have seven-day work weeks or do they have weekends off, you know, in China?
When slaves were around, did they have weekends off?
They're like, hey, you can whip me, but not on a Saturday or a Sunday because I'm not working today.
No.
This is something radical.
Dignity for workers, the right to rest, the rhythm of renewal.
In a world that never sleeps, we forget the human soul needs time, unmonetized, unplugged.
Rest one day.
Do you see, are you beginning to see how these are the reason why we have lost our way as a society is because we've forgotten the Ten Commandments?
And it really doesn't, I've said this for a year.
If Moses would have come down and said, these are the Ten Commandments and God commanding,
We get what we get.
When you go into an amoral society and nobody cares about God, everybody forgets it.
But if we we would just repackage it as Mo's top 10 tips and we put it into a slick Instagram thing and Mo was there going, hey, hey, I got something cool to tell you about, everybody would live it because it's what builds civilizations.
Honor your father and mother.
Why?
Why is that so important?
Because civilization begins with the family, not with the state, not with a corporation.
It doesn't survive without generational wisdom.
Without generational wisdom, you have cultural amnesia.
And a society that mocks its elders and abandons its children is suicidal.
That's what that means.
Six, you shall not murder.
That's a pretty good one.
It's always been misinterpreted.
God never said you shall not kill.
It says you shall not murder.
That one should be obvious.
But, you know, from the womb to the street to the clinic, we've redefined life to suit this convenience.
But the commandments say no one is expendable.
Life has value, not because the state permits it, because life is sacred and doesn't belong to you.
You cannot snuff it out.
Why, as we lose our understanding of the Ten Commandments, are we suddenly seeing this rise in assisted suicide?
Why are the bluest states in the Union saying, yeah, the state can kill you?
You know, you just, you need a, you need a doctor to help you out on that.
No, that's murder.
That's murder.
That's why it's on the rise, because we have lost the understanding, thou shalt not murder.
What it's really saying is, life is sacred.
You shall not commit adultery.
This one is today.
This one is almost everything we've talked about in the last few weeks.
And we haven't talked about marriage.
We haven't talked about
adultery.
This one is about trust.
This one is about making a covenant and keeping your word.
A society that treats vows as disposable,
as disposable, treats people as disposable.
If there is no vow, if I look at you in the eye and say, I vow to do this,
and then I'm like, yeah,
that was on Saturday,
then fidelity is dead.
Trust is dead, and a community dies.
Shall not steal.
Hmm, pretty clear.
I'd like to bring this one into the IRS.
Property rights, personal responsibility.
This one is the foundation of capitalism, not cronyism.
Earned stewardship.
Without this, there's no incentive to build.
This is why we have the patent laws.
That's just another way of our society
saying, you shall not steal.
That person came up with it.
They have the right to that idea, not you.
You want to use that, pay them.
Otherwise, you're stealing their idea.
Without thou shalt not steal, you wouldn't have patents.
Without patents, you wouldn't have America.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Truth matters.
In court, in media,
in conversation.
If lies rule, justice dies.
We're seeing that.
This is the anchor of fairness.
This is the anchor of journalism.
This is the anchor of law.
This is the anchor of all society.
You can't lie.
You shall not covet.
That's all about greed.
All about
envy.
If we don't stop envying, if we look at what's happened, our society has started, because we've lost track of the Ten Commandments, our society now pits the rich and the poor.
It pits, we've never, in my lifetime, I've never seen it where people are like, yeah, they're rich.
Who cares?
Let their children die in a flood.
I've never seen that.
Never.
That's covet.
That's they have something I want and I don't care what happens to them because I want their stuff.
You have no civilization.
When we removed the Ten Commandments, we didn't just remove God, we removed the blueprint for all civilization.
Without the Ten Commandments, we cannot write the ship.
We cannot fix ourselves.
So, here's what I want you to do:
I want you to go to
restoreamericanschools.com.
There are two states right now, and many more are being worked on.
This year, Texas passed the Ten Commandments Bill, SB 10, sponsored by Phil King and Candy Noble.
Arkansas just passed SB 433, sponsored by Jim Dotson and Representative Alyssa Brown.
These two states, now it is by law,
if the community produces the 10 commandments and it's in a certain form, certain size, whatever, can we show the one that we have?
And you can frame it or you can just have it, you know, a stiff thing that they can put up,
then they have to put this up in the school.
They must.
They are required by law.
So here's what I'd like you to do.
I'd like you to adopt a school in one of those two states.
I'd like you to adopt a school.
I'd like you to tell all of your friends and go to the website because it's also talking about other states where this is a movement.
If we can restore the Ten Commandments with the understanding of what it means to civilization,
we can fix our society.
Now, these Ten Commandments, nobody's making any money on it.
They're a dollar each.
So
you got a school and you've got, you know, 10 classrooms, buy 10 of them.
It's 10 bucks.
Bring them to the school and say, or send them to the school and say, under law, these are required to be posted.
Send them as many as you possibly can.
So, because they have to post them.
So, you know,
because I know there'll be some that are like, we posted it.
It's in the closet behind this door.
I don't know how the laws are written, but they have to be posted.
So state can't do it.
If we want the state to do less, then we have to do more.
This is a dollar.
Get the Ten Commandments into every single one of these two state schools and help us turn the other states.
It is the answer.
It is the formula for Western civilization.
All right, back in just a second.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes for a minute.
Imagine living in a country where air raid sirens are a normal part of life, where your children know exactly how long they have to
reach a bomb shelter.
That's the way it is.
You know, never fully unpack a suitcase because you never know when you're going to have to leave in a hurry.
That is crazy, right?
That's the reality if you live over in Israel,
especially over the last couple of years, escalating attacks, rocket fire, terrorism, all targeted at innocent men, women, and children who are simply trying to live their lives in peace.
Even in the midst of all of this, there is hope, and it's coming, a lot of it is coming from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
They've been on the ground now providing food, shelter, medical aid, comfort to those who need it most.
They've stood by Israel and their most vulnerable when support is waning, quite honestly, for the Jew.
I mean, you don't have to agree with their policies, but don't they have a right to live?
You're not just giving aid, you're giving hope and compassion and a reminder, even in the darkest moments, we will never forget.
You are not alone.
Now is your time to stand with Israel's innocent and most vulnerable.
Rush your gift now to 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-IFCJ, or go online to ifcj.org.
That's ifcj.org.
888-488-IFCJ.
10 seconds and back to the show.
I mean, I am, I got to tell you, I've been saying this lately.
You have no idea what Mercury One has been up to and the American Journey Experience and what they're about to do.
I've told you that I am radically changing my life
and everything about my life in January.
And I really want you to be there for the ride, but I'll tell you about all of that coming up.
But
this is the kind of stuff that we're working on.
I've committed that 10% of everything my company makes, everything is going to AJE and Mercury One.
I believe in what we're doing.
And what we're doing is this.
We've got to get the 10 commandments.
And this is not like,
we're no longer, it's amazing.
I feel like my whole life
has been to study up for this moment.
We now have the organizations behind us to be able to have the political clout to be able to move
legislation in states and be able to say the Ten Commandments should be in Texas, in all the schools, and get that done in Arkansas.
And we're in multiple states right now, but we really need your support.
And
I'm so excited to tell you coming soon.
Hopefully, I'll be able to give you more in September.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to be coy, you'll understand in the end, but
tell you more in September
and then we launch in January.
That's the thing.
You don't need to be coy, Roy.
You know, just get yourself free.
Thought that was important.
Really?
Need to quote old songs that really
part of the beauty of that girl.
You know, the splendor that is.
Thank you.
You know, you're talking about the education and how important that is.
Think of the flip side, the investment that progressives have made in education and how that paid off for them big time over the last hundred years we have lost a total generation yeah the gener if we don't grab the generation under this one
we're we're done for forever there has got to be there has got to be a renaissance of true American history and truth that is being taught.
And this generation, this youngest generation, they are starving for it.
They They know.
This is Glenn Beck.
One of the other partners that I'm working with next year is Prager U, and I welcome him to the show.
Independence Day might be over, but the fight for America's future, just getting started.
Every day, we're seeing what happens when a generation grows up without a solid understanding of America, her history, her founding principles, and the values that made her great.
But thankfully, Prager U is also doing something about it.
They are leading a massive initiative to head towards America's 250 with free, engaging resources designed to educate young people and a whole lot of adults as well.
Whether it's through their famous five-minute videos, free courses, daily civic challenges, Prager U is making it now easier than ever to learn what schools refuse to teach.
This approach to American education is so incredibly important to our future, I cannot say it enough.
You want to understand the Constitution?
You're curious about what the founding fathers actually believed?
Prager U is there.
They'll help deliver those answers in just minutes a day.
Pass it along to your kids, your grandkids.
Take the challenge for yourself because you'll be shocked on what you don't know.
The future belongs to those who knew where they came from.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
We're glad you're here.
I have a segment coming up with Justin Haskins, and
I don't think the president's going to want to hear this from me today, or maybe ever.
But I told him
first term, first term, he called me up and I said, you know, I got a problem with the tariffs.
And he's like, I know.
And I said,
you know, but hey, what do I know?
I'm not an economist.
I just, I know what I think I know.
And he said, go ahead, let me hear it.
And we talked for 30 minutes about tariffs.
And he said, during the first term?
First term.
And he actually listened to me.
We went back and forth.
I mean, we had a really good discussion on it.
And I said, I just don't think that tariffs have ever worked.
And that's when he said, yeah, well,
I'm going to do it, Glenn.
I just like tariffs.
I believe in them.
I'm going to do it.
And I had respect for him because he talked about it.
He listened to me.
And then he didn't say, oh, I'll take that under advitant, knowing that he wasn't going to take it.
He just said,
great, I heard you.
You didn't change my mind.
And when I saw him the last time,
he said, I'm going to, I think he said it even in the interview, I'm going to make you a believer in tariffs.
And I said, if you do, I'll be the first to admit it that I was wrong.
Justin Haskins has been doing, Justin Haskins is the co-author of the last three books that I wrote.
He is, you know, in charge of stopsocialism.com.
And he's a really good researcher.
And he wrote me, what, last night, I think, and he said, Glenn,
I think Trump is right about tariffs.
And I'm like, what?
He said, I have been doing research on this and the receipts are coming in.
And I think he might be right about tariffs.
And I'm like,
okay, make the case.
So he's coming on in just a few minutes to make the case that.
The evidence is in that,
yeah, maybe tariffs are not.
Well, they're they're not creating inflation.
We know that.
And that was one of the big things going to create inflation.
And that
it's not going to bring in any money.
And it's brought in a lot of money.
It's brought in a lot of money.
And in fact, I think last, was it last month we had a surplus?
Yeah.
What?
In the tens of billions.
A surplus?
Yeah, when was the last time we heard that?
Never.
Did they spend it on gum or, you know, I don't know, doing some study of somebody's private organs or something.
Please, please apply that to principle, will you?
Please.
Yeah.
But so that's coming up in just a minute.
That should be interesting.
I'd like to be convinced on that.
Of course, I would too.
Look, you just mentioned there are some measurables that have been positive.
Right.
Now, I'm doing this today because Stu is back on Monday and he'll reign on this parade all day long.
But and it's, I'm bummed because the president's not going to take my phone call today.
By the way, I said this early on the show, and I want you to know anybody who is a supporter of his, if you are pissed that he is saying, you know, you're just a loser and you need to shut up and I don't want you to be a
supporter of mine.
He's not talking to you.
He's not.
Okay.
He's talking to people like me.
All right.
That's what he's saying.
There are people that have been supporting him, blah, blah, blah.
And I, and I told him, I told every time I see him, you know, he's like, how are we?
I'm like, I'm good.
No violations of the Constitution.
I'm really good.
Everything's great.
Okay.
You're making great progress.
But I've told him, you know, of course, if that goes south at any time,
you know, I don't want to say it.
And, you know, he laughs about it and he knows.
He's not talking to you, his supporter.
He's talking to people like me.
He's talking to people like Laura Loomer.
I mean, she was, I mean, she was practically living in the basement of the White House.
Now,
uh-uh, she's on the outs.
And he, I really believe he doesn't understand why.
I don't know why,
but he doesn't understand.
And there's a lot of people that are still talking about, and he's not talking about you.
He's saying that people like me are continuing this hoax.
And
honestly, I am going to look at that with an open mind.
I'm not going to back away from the pursuit of truth, but I am going to tell you, I don't know what the truth is right now.
If it's a hoax, you better let Ghelane Maxwell go.
You better get her out of it.
That's absolutely right.
Well, no, not necessarily because she went, I think she went to jail for procuring people.
for him.
Yeah, but that's a hoax, right?
So
if you're calling it a hoax, it's not a good thing.
No, no, I think what he was calling a hoax was that he was selling these children or blackmailing people.
Right.
Now, I don't know.
Is that a hoax or not?
I don't know.
If it's a hoax, there's a lot of people in this administration that were pushing that hoax hard.
They convinced me of that.
And so, you know, if it's a hoax,
You need to come out and I will totally accept this.
I think the American people are very understanding and saying, you know what?
I thought this before I got in.
I got in and I no longer think that.
And you know what?
I apologize for, you know, really pushing this so hard.
We would have understood that.
Understood.
Understood it completely.
I still would understand.
Completely.
Yeah, I don't think it's too late to do that.
I don't think anybody's going to do that
because they're going a completely different route on that.
But
if it had been handled differently, I think we'd all understand.
Absolutely.
Look, we thought it was there.
We thought there was a list.
There's not.
So,
but that's not how they dealt with it.
Yep.
So,
you know,
we got that going for us.
It's fun.
It's fun.
Yeah.
Just don't take it personally.
Divorce yourself from the outcome.
I know.
But I love that attitude.
Yeah.
Divorce yourself from the outcome.
The outcome belongs to God.
Remember what George Washington said at the Constitutional Convention?
They were arguing about something and no one would budge.
And they just could not, of course it was involving New York.
And they would not budge.
And
this was the last thing.
And it's one of the only things that George Washington said in the
Constitutional Convention.
He was just there to keep everybody in the room.
He was not there for his advice or anything else.
And finally,
Ben Franklin looked at George Washington, and I'm going to horribly paraphrase this, but Franklin looked at George Washington and said,
what do we do?
Because they were at an impasse.
And paraphrasing, he said, we have come this far.
You have seen the miracles that have brought us from July 2nd, 1776, to the Constitution.
You've seen the battles.
You've seen the very finger of God.
We have the opportunity to do something truly right.
Let's not compromise now.
Let's not screw this up.
Do the right thing.
The moment is in the hand of God.
Why can't we have that belief now?
It doesn't mean we don't fight for things.
It doesn't mean we sit down.
It doesn't mean we stop pursuing truth.
It doesn't mean you change anything except let go of the outcome.
Let me give you the example I gave last hour.
2000, sorry, 2020, the election, 2020.
Remember how upset we were?
And how many of us have gone very, my gosh, the outcome, if it would have gone the other way, we wouldn't be anywhere where we are now.
We wouldn't have had, we wouldn't have had the Senate last night
ring the bells.
We had the Senate last night vote and pass it to the House to stop funding NPR and PBS.
I never thought that would happen.
I never thought Big Bird would stop picking our pockets
ever.
If it passes the House, it's over.
It's over.
Do you think we would have gotten that in 2021 or the first six months of 2020?
Not a prayer.
No.
Not a prayer.
Let go of the outcome.
Trust God.
Do everything you can in your power to do the right thing.
Do everything you can to pursue truth and then let go of it.
Have to, or we're all going to be driven mad.
All going to be driven mad.
2020 is a perfect example because we wanted it so desperately.
Everybody knew that Joe Biden was going to be a disaster.
And because of that, President Trump had four years to plan all of this and know exactly what he was going to do once he took office.
And you know what's amazing is there were those people that said, good, let him have it.
You'll see what it's like.
But that was driven by kind of like spite.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
Oh, you want some of this?
You can have some of that.
That's not the same thing.
That's not letting go of the outcome.
It's like people are saying now about California.
Let them.
Let them.
The only way they're going to learn is if they suffer.
I don't think they're ever going to learn.
Not a good idea.
I don't think they're going to learn.
And people are saying the same thing about New York.
I know.
With Zaran Mamdani.
And that that will be a disaster.
Disaster.
That affects us all.
That's not just a New York thing.
Well, let him suffer.
They voted for it.
No.
No, that's our economic heart.
That would be a catastrophe.
Yeah.
And we will all pay for that.
We will all pay for that.
New York, you think we're not going to bail out New York?
You think we're not going to bail out California?
It's going to piss me off.
But of course we're going to.
They're some of the biggest economies in the world.
You can't let them fall without the rest of America falling.
We're not strong enough.
We are too interconnected with one another.
You know, it's like, can Germany survive on its own without the EU?
Yes.
But they're still disconnected enough.
They're still in the very early stages of the EU.
That thing could go away and the countries will suffer, but they'll survive.
Do you think our states, Texas would, Florida would?
What states do you live in that you say,
no,
they'll survive?
I contend maybe 10, maybe,
maybe 10.
And they're probably the ones outside of Texas and Florida with the smallest populations.
You know what I mean?
They're probably like Wyoming.
And the smaller economies.
Yeah, the smaller economies.
California by itself is the fifth largest economy in the world, and Texas is eighth or ninth.
So that's why we would survive.
But yeah, the smaller states that don't have the economic engines, they won't.
And,
you know,
we have had this for so long
that we don't understand
what it's like without it.
People say, you know, just let it collapse, let it burn down.
You don't.
This is a miracle.
It's called the American Experiment and the American miracle for a reason.
People have been trying to do this since the beginning of time.
We're the only one that has done it and it has lasted.
And now we're so used to it, we're willing to burn it down.
I'm not willing to burn this down because you'll never rebuild it.
When you start breaking this thing up, there are going to be people all over that are saying, I'm going to get me a piece of that.
And then what do you have?
We got to fix this.
We got to let go of the outcome.
Trust God, not people, politicians, or systems.
Trust God.
Just do the next right thing
and let it go.
Just go out, do your homework, vote.
Watch what they're doing.
Call them up.
Let them know you're watching.
Let them know what you feel.
Let them make the decision that they're going to make and let it go.
It's all in the hand of God.
That's how I know how weak my faith is because I lose that all the time.
I lose
it all the time.
And I'm like, oh, these people.
That is a lack of faith.
All right, back in just a second.
What if today is the day you make the biggest difference you've ever made?
What if today is the day you save a life or 10 lives or 100?
Sounds like a big idea, maybe even impossible, but it's not because every day pre-born is on the front lines helping mothers in crisis choose life,
life for their babies.
They do it with compassion, with practical support, and with free ultrasounds that show a mom the truth.
Her baby is alive, growing, and worth protecting.
And when a mom sees that truth, she chooses life.
Almost every time
your gift can provide the ultrasounds, it can save the babies and it can transform those families forever.
You are saving the life
really, I think of two.
You're saving the soul of the mother and saving her from a life of just misery and regret.
And you're saving a baby.
And all you're doing is just providing help, compassion.
If you're a business owner, perhaps you'll consider a larger donation for a write-off.
Donation of $1,000, $2,000, even $20,000 would go a long long way in the efforts but all gifts the the ultrasounds are 28 bucks and everything is tax deductible will reach into eternity the eternity so please get involved today donate just dial pound250 say the keyword baby that's pound250 keyword baby or visit preborn.com slash peck that's preborn.com slash peck sponsored by preborn

President Trump said yesterday, see, this guy gets things done.
President Trump said yesterday that Coca-Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar in
its Coke soft drinks in in the U.S.
Now, Coke has come out and said, Well,
we haven't made any announcement on that.
We're not confirming or denying any of it.
He said, I've been speaking to Coca-Cola about using real cane sugar in Coke in the United States.
They've agreed to do so.
I want to thank all those in authority at Coca-Cola.
It'd be a good move by them.
You'll see.
It's just better.
It is.
It's much, much better and much healthier.
Now, the corn farmers are like, wait a minute, corn syrup and corn syrup, I think maybe we should look at, it's not good for you.
It's not good for you.
And, you know, we might have overemphasized our corn crops just a little bit because ethanol is not the answer and neither is corn syrup.
But,
you know, that's another thing the president has to worry about.
I'm glad I'm not president.
It's amazing all the things that he's gotten involved in.
Right.
How do you have time for all that?
I don't know.
He must never sleep.
But I will never, never.
But I will tell you, I would chalk that up as a win.
If you could get real sugar back into Coke, be great.
Bingo.
That's a win.
Now get the McDonald's Coke formula away from McDonald's and put it everywhere.

And I'm not convinced I'm wrong yet.
I'm not convinced yet.
But it's looking like I might have been wrong on something.
And
when I'm wrong, I'm supposed to lead with it.
I'm not leading with it yet.
But unfortunately, there's some statistics out that
may lead one to believe that I'm not as right as I usually am.
We'll get to that here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about American financing.
Okay, I'm not sitting there with you in person, so I don't know exactly what you're facing financially.
You know, whatever it is that got you worried, maybe you've got a mortgage that's bleeding and dry.
Maybe you've got high interest debt from the credit cards you never intended to get in the first place, and the balance just never seems to shrink no matter how long you've been paying them.
Maybe you're just looking around this cozy economy and thinking, you know, I just need to get my financial house in order before things get really weird.
Well, whatever it is, today's the day.
You can call American Financing.
This is why they exist.
They're mortgage consultants, not commission salespeople.
Their job is not to push you into something that, you know, pads their paycheck.
It's to help you find the right loan, the right terms, and the right payment for you.
They can help you refi, consolidate debt, even shorten your term to pay your house off faster.
And when they do it, they do it with common sense advice, straight talk, and a simple process that puts you fully back in control of your life.
So call American Financing.
The number is 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

Justin Haskins is here.
He is the president of our republic and the editor-in-chief of stoppingsocialism.com.
He is is also the co-author with me of the great reset, Dark Future, and Propaganda Wars.
So, in other words, I'm saying he doesn't have a lot of credibility,
but he is here to report.
I don't even think you're
you're you were wrong on this too with the tariffs, right?
Well,
at some point, I was wrong about everything.
Right, okay, yeah, right.
We're all on the road to being right,
um,
but uh, this is coming as a shock.
You called yesterday and you said, Glenn,
I think the tariff thing,
I think the president might be right.
And this is something I told him, if I'm wrong, I will admit that I'm wrong.
But I don't think I'm wrong.
Because this goes against everything that economists have said forever.
That tariffs don't work.
They increase inflation.
It's going to cost us more.
All of these things.
You've been studying this now for a while to come up with the right answer, no matter where it fell.
Tell me what's going on.
Okay, so the most recent inflation data, price data that came out from the government shows that in June, prices went up 2.7%.
In May, they went up 2.4%.
That's compared to a year prior.
And most people are saying, well, this is proof that the tariffs are causing inflation.
Well, when you actually start
that inflation is the target is two.
The target is two.
I mean, we're not, I mean, when I was saying that it was going to cause inflation, I thought, you know, we could be up to 5%.
But anyway, go ahead.
So the really incredible thing, though, is the more you look at the numbers, the more obvious it is that this does not prove inflation at all.
For starters, these numbers are lower than what the numbers were in December and January, before Trump was president, and before we had any talk of tariffs at all.
So that is a big red flag right from the very beginning.
When you dive even deeper into the numbers, what you see is that there's all kinds of parts of the consumer price index that track specific industries or kinds of goods and services that should be showing inflation if inflation is being caused by tariffs, but isn't.
So for example, clothing and apparel, 97% basically, about 97% according to one report, of clothing and apparel comes from overseas is imported into the United States.
Correct.
So prices for apparel and clothing should be going up, and they're not going up.
According to the data, they're actually going down compared to what they were a year ago.
Same thing is true with new vehicles.
Obviously, there were huge tariffs put on foreign vehicles, not on domestic vehicles, so it's a little bit more mixed.
But
new vehicle prices are staying basically flat.
They haven't gone up at all, even though there's a 25% tariff on imported cars and car parts.
And then when you just look at the overall import prices, you just sort of as in an index, which the government tracks, what we're seeing is that prices are basically staying the same from what they were a year ago.
There's very, very little movement overall.
No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
More tariffs are
applied.
Let me just make something clear.
Somebody's eating the tariffs, and it appears to be the companies that are making these things, which is what Donald Trump said.
And then
the economists always say, well, they're just going to pass this on in the price.
Well, they have to.
They have to get this money someplace.
So where are they?
Is it possible they're just doing this right now to get past?
Because they know if they jack up their price, you know, they're not going to be able to sell anything.
What is happening?
How is this money being coughed up by the companies and not passed on to the consumer?
Yeah, well, there's a few ways this could be happening.
I think the most likely scenario is that they are passing it along to consumers.
They're just not passing it along to American consumers.
In other words, they're raising prices elsewhere to try to protect the competitiveness with the American market because the American market is the most important consumer market in the world.
And they probably don't want to piss off Donald Trump either by jacking up prices and then potentially having tariffs go up even more as a punishment for doing that because that's a real option.
And so I think that's what's happening right now.
Now, it's possible that we're going to see a huge increase in inflation in six months.
That's entirely possible.
We don't know what's going to happen.
But as of right now, all the data is suggesting that recent inflation is not coming from consumer goods being imported or anything like that.
That's not where the inflation is coming.
Instead, it's coming from housing.
That's part of the CPI data.
Housing is the cause of the inflation right now.
Wait, it's not housing, is it?
Because, you know, the things to
make houses is not going through the roof, pardon the pun, right?
It's not building.
No, no, the way the CPI calculates housing is really stupid.
They basically look primarily at rent.
That's the primary way that they determine housing prices.
So
they're not talking about housing costs to build a new house or housing prices to buy a house.
They're talking about rent.
And then they try to use rent data as a way of calculating how much you would have to pay if you owned a house, but you had to rent the same kind of house.
And that's how they come up with this category.
That's
coming from is everybody in Washington,
are they all retarded?
Because I
mean, I don't.
What the hell?
Who's coming up with that formula?
I mean, look,
I mean, sort of underlying this whole conversation, as
you and I know, Glenn, and Pat too, the CPI is a joke to begin with.
There's all kinds of problems with this system to begin with.
So,
I mean, come on.
Okay, so
because I promised the president, if I was wrong and I had the data that I was wrong, I would tell him,
do I have to, out of all the days to do this, do I have to call him today and do that?
Are we still
Are we still looking at this going, well, maybe?
I think there is a really solid argument that you don't need to make the phone call.
Oh, my gosh.
Today's not the day to call novels.
Today is not the day.
And the reason why is because
we probably do need more data over a longer period of time to see if corporations are doing something in order to try to push these costs off into the future for some reason, maybe in the hopes that the tariffs go down, or maybe
there's all sorts of ways they could play with it to try to avoid paying those costs today so it's possible that's what's going on but as of right now that is not at all what is happening as far as i can tell from the data but isn't the other side of this because everybody else said you know oh and it's not going to pay for anything
didn't we last month have the first surplus since i don't know abraham lincoln
yes yes we did i don't know how long that surplus is going to last us probably not we had one month i don't think I've ever heard that before in my lifetime.
Hey, United States had a surplus.
I looked it up.
I think it was like 20-something years ago was the last time that it happened, if I remember right.
It was like 20-something years ago.
So
this is incredible, really.
And if it works, and you and I have talked about this before, I actually think there is an argument to be made that this whole strategy could work
if American manufacturers can dramatically bring down their costs to produce goods and services so that they can be competitive.
And I think that advancements in artificial intelligence and automation is going to open the door to that being a reality.
And if you listen to the Trump administration talk, people like Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce, they have said that this is the plan.
The plan is go all in on artificial intelligence, automation, that's going to make us competitive with manufacturers overseas.
China is already doing that.
They're already automating their factories.
They lead the world in automation.
Yeah, but
they can take half their population, put them up on a plane, and then crash it into the side of the mountain.
They don't care.
What happens to the people that now don't have a job here?
How do they afford the clothes that are now much, much cheaper?
Well,
I think the answer to that is there's going to be significantly more wealth, trillions of dollars that we send overseas every year now in the American economy.
And that's going to go into other things.
It's not as though when new technology comes along, it's not as though people just lose their jobs and then that's it.
They just sit on their couch forever.
The real danger here is not that new markets won't arise in that situation.
The problem and jobs with it.
The problem is I think there's a real opportunity here.
And I think this is going to be the fight of the next election, potentially, presidential election,
and going forward, next 10, 20 years.
This is going to be a huge issue.
Democrats are going to have the opportunity when the AI revolution truly goes into full force.
They're going to have the opportunity like they've never had before to say, you know what, we'll take care of you.
Don't worry about it.
We're just going to take all of the corporate money and all of rich people's money and we're going to print trillions of dollars more.
And you can sit on your couch forever and we'll just pay you because this whole system is rigged and it's unfair and you don't have a job anymore because of AI and there's nothing you can do.
You can't compete with AI.
AI is smarter than you.
You have no hope.
I think that is coming and it's going to be really hard for free market people to fight back against that.
Well,
I tend to agree with you
because the, you know, I thought about this.
I wargamed this probably 2006 and I'm thinking, okay, if the tech is going to grow and grow and grow, and they're going to start, they'll be responsible for taking the jobs, they won't be real popular.
so they're going to need some people that will allow them to stay in business and to protect them so they're going to need to be in with the politicians and if the politicians are overseeing uh the
the decrease of jobs they're going to need the the PR arm of things like social media and what it can be done what can be done now.
I was thinking at the time, like what can Google can do?
But they need each other, they must have one another.
And
unless we have a stronger foundation and a very clear direction, and I will tell you, the president disagrees with me on this.
I said he's going to be remembered as the transformational AI president.
And he said, I think you're wrong on that.
And I don't think I am.
This time period is going to be remembered for
transformation.
And he is transforming the world, but the one that will make the lasting difference will be power and AI.
Agree with that or disagree?
1,000%.
1,000%.
This is by far the most important thing that's happening in his administration in the long run.
If you're projecting out 10, 20, 30 years, they will be talking about this moment in history 1,000 years from now.
Yeah, they will.
Like that will happen.
And if America becomes the epicenter of this new technology, they will be talking about it a thousand years from now, about how Americans were the ones that really developed this, that they're the ones that promoted it, that they're the ones that took advantage of it.
That's why this AI race with China is so important that we win it.
It's one of the reasons why.
And I do think it's a defining moment for us presidents.
Of course, the problem with all this is AI could kill us all.
And so,
you know, you have to weigh that in.
Yeah, right.
Right.
Well, we hope you're you're wrong on that one.
And
I'm wrong on it as well.
Justin, thank you so much.
Thank you for giving me the out where I don't have to call him today, but I might have to call him soon.
Thanks, Justin.
I appreciate it.
I don't think he's real happy with people like me today.
Not real happy.
All right.

not as right as you usually are a lot thank you a lot thank you so there's a lot of opportunity for this what and it just gives you really good show material right what whose side are you on here whose side are you on
uh let me see some of the other things that we might have missed um by the way i just can't say this enough pbs and npr
it's the House vote away.
It passed in the Senate.
It's got to pass in the House, right?
I mean, that's so easy.
I would think so.
It's easy in the House.
It passed in the Senate.
No more NPR or PBS.
Now,
millions of children are going to die because of it.
Oh, sure.
But...
What do we care?
We don't like children.
Jeez.
You know that's coming.
I mean, what are they going to say?
I mean, they're going to kill...
I mean,
how do they make the case every time that you're going to kill Big Bird?
And you notice they didn't say that this time.
It's almost been like,
I think he's overwhelming the system.
They're so busy, you know,
stomping snakes with their one good foot that they're like, I don't, I can't stomp on this many snakes.
I mean, it is crazy.
They usually say, you're going to kill Big Bird.
No, no, no.
Elmo will be able to
tweet racist, Nazi things at any time he wants, okay?
Because they got the plush toys and they're going to be fine.
And they make a fortune from those.
Make a fortune.
Absolute fortune.
It's a crime that we have paid for it all these years.
Yeah.
And because it's been that way for decades.
Decades.
Decades.
I don't know how they've perpetrated this scam continuously.
I guess it's just because we don't pay attention and we listen to the, well, your children are going to suffer thing
too often.
And too many people buy into that.
Well, they're going to say, well, they have to do it, you know, and be able to produce, to be able to produce that, they're going to have to have commercials.
Do you know how much the children's workshop makes, the children's television workshop?
Do you know how much?
Just think, how much money do you think they've made on just Elmo toys?
No.
Just on Elmo toy.
They could buy full hours of broadcast time and not have any commercials
because all the kids will want an Elmo toy.
Even if they do have to go to commercials.
So, what?
Well, that's indoctrination.
That's indoctrination.
That's evil.
It's evil indoctrination of your kids.
It's more evil than the indoctrination they're already doing to the kids.
No, no, no.
I'd rather actually have them in front of the TV with that indoctrination than in front of their teacher with the indoctrination that's going on there.
But maybe that's just me.
All right, more in just a second.
Stand by.
This is Glenn Beck.
Of course, you're in pain.
I mean, look at you.
Look at you.
You're a human being.
You spend half your life sleeping in weird positions, the other half lifting things you shouldn't.
Somewhere in between, you try to impress your kids by demonstrating how you used to dunk a basketball in high school.
You know, of course, your knees hurt.
Of course, your back sounds like a bag of gravel every time you try to stand up.
It's not a mystery.
This is just life as you get older.

Well,

Senator Tammy Duckworth, which is just a stupid name, change it.
But Sammy Duckworth
writes in, please, this isn't about saving money.
This is a tweet.
Republicans just exploded the debt by at least $4 trillion to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
Oh, my God.
Defunding Big Bird and Elmo isn't isn't going to fix that mess, nor will defunding programs that feed starving children.
She did both of them in one tweet.
One tweet.
You're killing Big Bird and Elmo and starving children.
I love it.
I love it.
JD Decker is with us.
He is the head now of the American Journey Experience, which is part of M1.
You are actually the executive director of all of them.
I'm one of the executive actors, yep.
Yeah.
Well, welcome to the program.
Thank you.
It's good to be here again.
So you actually, didn't you used to work at a PBS?
I did.
I did in Oklahoma.
And that was kind of my entrance, you know, after film school.
Worked at a PBS.
I remember, right?
Yeah.
But yeah, intern into PBS.
And they had no clue what my thoughts were on literally anything.
They would go off on, let's see, who was president at the time?
I don't even remember.
But they would go off on anything conservative, obviously.
They went off on this guy named Glenn Beck and how horrible he is.
And then my last day of the internship,
they said, Wow, where are you headed?
And I said, Actually, I'm going to go work for Glenn Beck.
That was popular.
It was.
Oh, yeah.
They had no clue.
And they said, How could you work for that man?
And I said, I don't know how I made it here.
So,
you know, I love these stories.
Another guy who works here,
Alexander,
he is in charge of art direction, had been here for a long time.
He came down because I heard about his story that he was in a college art class and
they were going around saying, you know, what do you want to do with your degree, et cetera, et cetera?
And he said, I want to work for Glenn Beck.
And the guy berated him on how stupid he was and what a stupid idea that is.
And then how you'll never work for him.
And I heard, I don't remember how, but I heard about this story.
And so I invited him down for a job interview.
And I'm not sure if
he may have been an intern to start.
I'm not sure.
But he's now the creative director.
I mean, he is
amazing.
Unstoppable.
And I was so happy.
He went back home and he said to the professor in class, hey, by the way,
I just got a job with Glenn Beck.
Nothing.
Nothing.
That's great.
Fantastic.
Hey, we're doing something that I announced with the Ten Commandments last hour.
In a nutshell, will you just recap?
Yeah.
So, you know, Texas and Arkansas, they passed that you would now be able to put the 10 Commandments in every classroom.
And just so you know, there's 384,000 classrooms between Texas and Arkansas.
And so we partnered with Million Voices, Wall Builders, Pro Family Legislators Network, Patriot Mobile stepped in to help.
And honestly, this was kind of cool because there's about 12 other, there's about a dozen of us that gathered together and said, okay, it can't have our logo on it, can't have any of those things.
All we want to do is get the Ten Commandments back in schools because it was in the schools for 150 years.
Right.
In every classroom.
In every classroom.
And the fact that that, I mean, that's history and tradition.
That's why it belongs back in school.
And so, yeah, if you go to restoreamericanschools.com, then you can sign up and for $30,
which all of it goes to buy those posters, ship those posters to you, and then you can take it to your school.
And you can sign up, put your address in.
I'm doing mine.
$30 per, I thought they were a dollar.
Well, it's a dollar per poster, but you can adopt a school, which averages about 30 classrooms in a school.
Okay.
And so that way it's a little easier, but it's just such a cool action step and a cool action.
And it has to be posted in the classroom.
It has to be posted.
It is law.
Wait, in the classroom?
In the classroom.
Oh, my gosh.
And thanks to Huckabee and Abbott, because they both, both governors, were willing to do what many others, it is a fight to try to say, hey, this is history.
How many states are we in this fight with?
There's a lot of, I don't know, I'll have to find out, but there's quite a few other ones that we're working on.
Yeah, good.
Yeah, no.
But yeah, you know, David, Tim, and our team, Elijah, they all went and testified in these states to show the history and tradition, to show what was in those books.
Because people have no idea, no clue.
Absolutely no idea.
And if you missed it in hour two of today's podcast, go back and listen because I took the Ten Commandments and I showed you, forget about God.
Just look at these for civilizational survival.
Why are these 10 things critical for civilization?
And if you just look at it that way, forget about God.
You cannot repair the Republic.
You cannot have a free civilization without the Ten Commandments.
What's crazy is some of the debates that were happening within
each state house,
some of the rebuttals to what we were saying were, well, yeah, but we really shouldn't be talking about, you know, death and some of these things in schools.
And you're kind of thinking to yourself,
what is being taught in schools right now?
You're talking about cutting his penis off.
We can't talk about don't murder someone.
That's right.
That's a more appropriate conversation.
And to give you a kind of a hint of what's being taught even in, you know, Washington, D.C., we've got volunteers everywhere, you know, that are obviously at, you know, the, where the Constitution and Declaration are at?
National Archives.
National National Archives.
And so we took about 50 state legislators from all around the country with David and Tim Barton.
And we went to the National Archives.
And obviously, David gave us a heads up.
You know, the Ten Commandments is right there.
And so we're standing in line, waiting for the volunteer to give us direction because it's really difficult to walk up some steps and go look at something.
So you're under the rotunda.
Under the rotunda.
Just haven't walked up yet.
Just haven't walked up yet.
And one of the staff from Wall Builders obviously asked the great question of, isn't this the Ten Commandments right here?
This emblem that we're standing on?
And the volunteer gets pretty upset and says, that is not the Ten Commandments.
That is the law.
If I remember right, somebody looked this up.
If I remember right, the seal
has two tablets
with just Roman numerals one through ten.
Yeah.
But they said it's just a representation of the law.
Yeah, God's law.
Yeah, God's law, but not even that.
Are you against murder?
Then, well, it actually talks about murder in this.
I mean, it's just the fact that we're standing on it and they don't even point it out in their little presentation of, hey, make sure you walk up and don't take flash photography.
There's so much more to be taught in this country.
And that's what American Journey Experience is doing.
I mean, we've got, you were able to speak to the kids yesterday, 18 to 25-year-olds.
They're great.
And they're like, 25 kids are coming to learn.
Hungry.
So hungry.
Hungry.
Out of college.
Some of them just graduated from college and they're like, I don't know anything.
Right.
I don't know anything.
Yeah.
And they're amazed by, one, one, our collection that we actually have the proof to show, you know, not just God's providence through American history, but also that our founders aren't all that bad.
When you talk about, you know, George Washington or Thomas Jefferson nowadays, somebody's finding something wrong with every one of them.
Well, I'd like to put the mirror up to them and say, you're not perfect either.
And so, you know, when you look at these founders, are they imperfect men?
Yeah, they were, but all of us are.
Look what they did, though.
They changed our nation.
They changed the world by saying, I'm going to stand up and do something.
And so that's why like this 10 commandments project is so important because we actually have an action step.
Stand up and do something for your local school.
You know how crazy it is going to drive teachers that they have to have the 10 commandments in their school?
Even in Texas and in, where is it, Arkansas?
Texas and Arkansas.
I mean, that's going to drive them out of their ever-loving minds.
Yeah.
Yep.
I mean, to have the 10 commandments up there.
And, you know, I can't wait till kids start asking questions.
Hey, what's that?
Why is that on the wall?
And you got to explain it.
There's no other way to teach on 10 commandments other than saying, well, this is a law of the land.
I mean, you talked about it in the second hour about how important it is.
I mean, you see it at the Supreme Court.
You see it everywhere.
They are looking when the Supreme Court is in session.
And they're sitting and they're facing the attorneys who are arguing the case.
If they just look up about 30 degrees, it's a giant Moses with the 10 commandments.
I mean, it's clear this is what our laws were based on.
And same in the house.
You see Moses' face right above.
Whenever you see the president, and they never show this, whenever you see the president give his, you know, address,
his, you know, what is it, State of the Union address, if the camera would just move up maybe 10 degrees higher, you'd see Moses right above it.
It's so ironic.
When you're sitting there and you're listening to the president and you're sitting in the gallery where you are eye to eye with Moses and you have to look down for the president,
it is so unbelievable that you're like, yeah, God had nothing to do with this place.
I'll tell you that right now.
And that's why you've even pointed out, you know, the history and tradition of it all.
It's just history and tradition.
We're not asking for anything else.
Just go back to what was great in our country beforehand.
Let's just teach, I don't know, teach American history how it's supposed to be taught.
It's amazing.
Okay, where do people go again?
RestoreAmericanschools.com.
We are doing stuff.
You're doing stuff with
my new project called The Torch, which I think you're fully read in on.
How excited are you?
Very excited.
And you've been with me for a long,
long time.
This one is, I think, game-changing.
And
really, really excited.
But we're going to be doing a lot of stuff with Mercury One and the American Journey Experience.
Next year is going to be fun, my friend.
Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun.
So join us.
If you'd like to get the Ten Commandments, please, all you have to do is go to restoreamerican schools.com.
That's restoreamerican schools.com.

Thank you.

I just call him Vice President, JD?
JP.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, good.
Thank you very much.
Hey, by the way, isn't JD Vance?
I was thinking about J.D.
Vance because he's in charge of the Smithsonian and all of that stuff, right?
Yeah, the process with Smithsonian is crazy.
Yeah.
And I don't think he knows that.
No, I don't think a lot of people up there know it.
Somebody should tell.
You know, you're in charge.
Yeah.
We will.
Okay.

I'm just watching Curtis Lewa.
And if you don't know who he is, he was the guardian angels guy.
Came, you know, during the Bernard Goetz days of New York when it was as bad as it is now.
You know, his people were out with the red, you know, berets to to protect the streets and everything else because the police couldn't get it done.
The guy is not a mayor in the eyes of most people,
but he's beating, isn't he beating?
He's ahead of Eric Adams.
Of Eric Adams, yeah.
By like four points, isn't he?
Yeah, three or four.
That's nuts.
That's nuts.
And then you look at who's beating him.
It's Cuomo, the guy who just killed everybody's grandparent in New York.
Yeah.
And then you look at who's ahead of him, and it's an Islamist.
It's
Islamist Zaran Mandani.
Oh, it's agonizing.
It's crazy.
I mean, two years ago, would you have ever thought this was possible?
Even in New York City.
Oh, don't say that.
Two years ago.
No, don't say that.
Because you know what comes to mind?
What are we going to be saying in two years from now?
Oh, yeah.
Two years ago, would you have believed this?
What?
How much crazier can it get?
And it's sweeping the country.
It's not just New York.
Minneapolis has a similar problem with a candidate for mayor there.
This Somali who talks about Somalia like it's his actual home.
He was born here in the United States, but his focus seems to be like Elon O'Marr.
His focus is Somalia.
Why not leave there?
Wait, but you're running for mayor.
Yeah.
What is happening?
What is happening?
You know, but on the good side, on the good side, side,
did you see what happened with federal police officers when they were
confronted by
enraged anti-ICE agitators in Portland?
I love this.
Okay.
All right.
I love it.
Here's how they got everybody to disperse.
This is the Federal Protective Service.
The facility is closed and not open to the public.
Stay out of the area of the driveway.
To allow for vehicular traffic.
Remain on the sidewalk or the street.
Everyone must leave this restricted area and may be subject to detention or arrest for failing to depart the restricted area.
I love this.
So that's not Donald Trump.
That's a Trump impersonator, if I'm not mistaken.
They got a Trump impersonator to just grab the bullhorn and say, everybody's got to go.
It's so great.
Oh, just so great.
It is so, so very, very great.
And then this one.
i think shane gillis is hysterical hysterical um
and mainly because he'll just say whatever he is thinking so he was doing the espy awards on abc television okay this is not cable this is abc broadcast television uh
play cut 49 shane gillis on the WNBA
four-time WNBA all-star Britney Hicks is here give it up for Brittany, everybody.
I'm joking around.
That's my friend's wife.
I knew none of you knew WNBA players.
That's crazy.
You clap for that.
Then he goes on about Caitlin Clark.
Listen to this.
When Caitlin Clark retires from the WNBA, she's going to work at a waffle house so she can continue doing what she loves most, fistfighting black women.
You cannot,
once you have unleashed the kraken
of comedy,
your movement is over.
Your movement is over.
I saw stuff and I'm like, I can't believe he said that on network television.
Remember, the ABC is the one that kicked off...
Who was it?
From doing the Oscars.
Remember?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Ricky Gervais, but also
the guy, the black guy in the cop movies all the time, all I can think of.
Oh, yeah.
So
Kevin Hart.
Kevin Hart.
Hit Kevin Hart off.
Kick Kevin Hart off.
Crazy.
They just had Shane Gillis.
This is Glenn back.
