Why John Brennan Is America’s Real-Life Batman Villain | 7/11/25

2h 10m
Since America's debt ceiling was raised on July 3, the national debt skyrocketed $410 billion in just the first two days, allegedly due to a "technical process." The Left freaked out at footage of an ICE raid that involved tear gas at a marijuana farm, which appeared to include child labor, leading to even more violence against ICE agents. California is set to ban ICE agents from wearing masks during operations. What reason could there be to ban masks other than to harass ICE agents? Glenn and Stu discuss the ways AI can be used and abused. Glenn's chief researcher and head writer, Jason Buttrill, joins to discuss a real-life Batman villain: former CIA Director John Brennan. Will Brennan be charged with perjury? Glenn and Stu discuss the liberal media's sudden concern over the Epstein files now that President Trump is in control. Is the new "Superman" movie a woke nightmare? Glenn and Stu go through some of the major stories they missed this week. Glenn speaks on the importance of not surrounding yourself with an ideological bubble. The guys discuss some of the Left's worst critiques regarding the tragic Texas flooding.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

We have a lot to talk about.

There's a ton going on.

And I want to hear from you today.

888-727-BECK.

It's Friday.

Let me hear your thoughts on everything that is going on.

Where are we?

Also, I want to share something

from the Kobesi, Kobesi letter.

This is

about

debt.

I think maybe we should talk about that.

You see this?

You see this in the paper?

I just can't believe this debt.

Yeah,

it's kind of bad.

We're going to get into that.

Also,

you know,

I'm not sure if anybody has noticed,

but

there seems to be a problem with our spy agencies.

We're going to get into that as well today.

Standby.

Oh, ON ICE.

First, let me tell you a little bit about our sponsor.

This half hour, our sponsor is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

In Israel right now, there's still so many people feeling the effects of absolutely everything that has happened over the past couple of years.

The war has left families devastated, homes destroyed, fathers lost, children traumatized, and in many cases, the neediest, the elderly, the disabled, and the poor have been left to suffer in silence.

This is where you and I can make a difference by supporting the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

They're on the ground every day in Israel, providing urgent relief to Jewish families in crisis.

They bring food and medicine to those who need it, and every dollar makes a huge difference.

Now is the time to act.

If you believe in standing with our friends in Israel, you believe that our biblical calling includes helping God's people in their darkest hour, now is the time to act.

Stand with Israel's innocent and most vulnerable.

Rush your gift now at 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-IFCJ, or go online to ifcj.org, ifcj.org, or 888-488-IFCJ.

Do it now.

Well, hello, Stu.

How are you?

Glenn, happy Friday.

Oh,

and happy one.

And a happy one it is.

Sure is.

Yeah, it really, really is.

Boy, there's so much to talk about with ICE and with

Antifa and everything that is going on.

I think we are headed for an open war on our streets.

I really do.

The president has got to continue to do what he's doing.

His popularity on what he's doing with ICE is through the roof.

But

we've got to investigate and start arresting Antifa members.

We have to.

Why are these people just left to just continue to do what they do all the time?

Now, here's another thing, and I'm going to hit this once because

it's a little overwhelming,

but

I just think you should know it.

Since the debt ceiling was raised on July 3rd,

July 3rd,

the U.S.

debt is up $410 billion

just in the first two days.

Let me say that again.

We raise the debt ceiling, and the U.S.

debt goes up $410 billion, almost half a trillion dollars in two days.

Now, this comes after the U.S.

Treasury ended extraordinary measures, raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

We are in the midst of the U.S.

largest crisis, largest one ever.

Now, listen to this.

After hitting the debt limit of $36.1 trillion in January 2025, Treasury began extraordinary measures to conserve cash.

Last week, when Trump's big beautiful bill was signed into law, the debt ceiling from $36.1 to $41.1 trillion.

And what happened?

In two days, up $410 billion

raised due to a technical process.

Now,

Stu,

I don't want to get all technical here, but I think that

debt ceiling going up and then us spending an additional $410 billion.

I think that technical

process, and again, if I'm too wonky, maybe you can explain it, is out of control politicians that are just spending too much.

But maybe that's just me.

Is that too technical?

Is that too wonky?

Yeah, you're in

a nerd world right now without glad people that aren't going to understand it.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

So

they were just doing what you do when you don't have the money.

They were just moving bills around and paying what they absolutely had to until the debt ceiling was raised.

And then when they did, they were like, whew, because we were completely out of money.

Now we can print some more.

So now we are free to borrow a record $41.1 trillion in debt.

Now, here's the part that kind of opens your eyes.

To put this into perspective, at the start of 2020, the U.S.

had $23.2 trillion in debt.

In 2020,

$23.2 trillion.

Where are we now?

Well, we just moved that debt ceiling up to $41 trillion because we're at $36.1 trillion.

With the new limit, we will mark $17.9 trillion increase since 2020.

That's a 77%

increase in our debt.

Have you thought of it this way?

At our current pace, we're going to reach the new debt ceiling much sooner than expected.

The Treasury posted a $316 billion budget deficit in May.

That's the third largest in record.

For the first eight months of 2025, budget gap hit $1.37 trillion,

the third largest in history.

Over the last 12 months, the U.S.

has borrowed $1.9 trillion, or $158 billion every month.

That is half.

This is half of the May levels.

But let's take $158 billion to be conservative.

U.S.

current debt stands at 36.6.

We are 4.5 trillion below the limit now at our current pace.

It will take us 28 months to hit that limit.

Jeez.

In fact, the debt ceiling crisis,

it looks like it's going to hit us now every two years.

The debt ceiling is hit faster than it can be moved.

From June 2023 and October 2021 were the last debt ceiling crisis.

The U.S.

budget deficit has averaged 9% of GDP over the last five years, but over the last 12 months, the budget gap has hit 7%

of GDP.

That is is higher than during 2001 or any of the 1980 recessions.

We now spend $7.1 trillion,

24% of our GDP.

We have a spending problem.

That's our problem.

We are issuing so much debt now, bond prices are falling and yields are rising.

What does that mean?

It means we're charging less and we're paying out more in interest.

That's not going to help us.

The U.S.

spent a record of $1.2 trillion on interest expense alone.

That's more than the total spending on defense, Medicaid, and the veterans program.

At our current pace, we're set to see U.S.

costs exceed $2 trillion within a matter of years.

Over the next 10 years, the U.S.

is projected to pay $13.8 trillion

just in

interest

for interest alone.

This is not taxpayers.

This is per person in the United States.

For interest alone,

we are now on the hook for $40,500 per person

just for the interest.

This is four times Social Security cash deficit in the next 10 years, five times the cost of 403 U.S.

weather and climate disasters since 1980.

403 weather and climate disasters.

It's the cost of 403 of those.

Sorry,

it's five times the cost of those since 1980.

I just want to

start there.

Wake up to your situation.

People are arguing about all of the wrong things right now, and they are, we think we are skating, and we think that this just can last forever.

It's not going to last forever.

And then you add things on top of this,

like what is happening

with ICE.

I don't know if you saw the video of

the protester, some protester that was firing some sort of a weapon at a federal agent during the ICE raid at a farm in California.

Let me play this cut two, please.

This is a

video right here.

It appears a protester fired some kind of gun at federal agents.

This happened this afternoon.

It was a really chaotic scene at the time.

A lot of smoke was being launched at the protesters.

And again, it appears a protester fired back with that weapon.

It looks like he fired at least a couple of times.

We have not heard about any agents being hurt.

So we are entering a very violent, very, very violent time.

First of all, let me talk about this particular raid.

This was at a legal pot farm.

Okay.

I think we could probably in the past just done an hour on that.

You know, oh, it's a legal pot farm.

Okay.

But forget about that.

That's not a problem apparently anymore.

It's being tended.

This legal pot farm is being tended by illegals that are coming across the bar.

Well, we don't want to hurt our farming community.

I don't think of our farming community as pot farms, but maybe that's just me.

Again,

why get weighed down in those details?

Yeah, Glenn, this is just maybe an existential question here, but

is it a legal pot farm if the workers are illegal?

Stu,

again, that would be hour two of any past show that we have ever done together.

All right, okay.

All right, so they go in and they're trying to bust the illegals.

All right.

What happens?

Well, there starts to be protests.

These protesters come.

They start firing at ICE.

ICE

has to put tear gas down.

And now the illegals are running to save themselves.

But who's running amongst this crowd?

Apparently a bunch of children.

Now,

I suppose

those legal pot farms are providing a good education for those kids.

You know, probably has a pot farm daycare center for those kids so they can be out of the fields and of course not working with their parents because that would be underage

labor.

You wouldn't want that to happen in America.

You know, all of these people that have these bleeding hearts that say, oh, this is just so wrong.

You don't, you don't,

you don't, you don't even, you're not even thinking anymore.

You're not even thinking.

You just see a video where you have kids running with their parents, children running from the fields of this pot farm.

What were they doing there?

Certainly that wasn't underage labor, was that?

Because you'd be against that.

Wouldn't you?

Or are you?

Or are you only against that if it's white children?

I'm not sure.

I'm confused.

So you have the underage children and these bleeding hearts who are saying, we've got to let these people go.

We've got to let them just do what they do.

Really?

You mean work in the shadows?

You mean engage in possible child labor?

Okay.

Possibly making what, a dollar an hour?

Yeah, that's that's no, no, no, that's really, really, really good.

Then, let's just let these protesters, and they're not protesters, they are terrorists now.

We just let these terrorists get away with just firing guns at

our ICE agents.

Things are changing in America.

Let's just look at the violence just in the last couple of weeks.

You have the July 4th ICE ambush, which is what?

ICE, 25 miles outside of the city of Dallas.

They have a detention center.

A coordinated, well-planned attack.

Guys covered in black,

you know, in military gear, they come and they start shooting fireworks at the detention center.

Then a few of them break off and they start spray painting the cars, which brings unarmed ICE agents out of the building to try to stop them from defacing the cars.

They're unarmed.

Well, this group has snipers in the woods, hiding in the woods.

As soon as those unarmed agents come out, they start shooting them.

Shot one of them in the neck.

Thank God he's still alive.

What do you call that?

What do you call that?

A revolutionary war?

Terrorism?

It's certainly not a peaceful protest.

Neither was it yesterday.

And meanwhile, we have congressmen who are actually trying to pass a bill in Congress right now saying that the ICE members can't wear masks.

Well, you know what?

When you're bad guys stop wearing masks, when your people who are on the on the college campuses stop wearing masks, maybe we can live in a community and live in a society where our police officers don't have to wear masks.

Don't give me this.

Well, that's Gestapo stuff.

By the way, the Gestapo never wore masks.

They didn't care.

This is the kind of stuff you see in third world countries.

Oh, you mean like the riots on the streets?

Yeah, it is stuff you see in third world countries.

And you're dragging us into a third world country.

And you know what?

It's just,

it's time.

It's just time to say enough is enough.

And I'm not saying take extraordinary

measures.

I'm saying, can our U.S.

government, our FBI, our Department of Justice stop acting like every bond villain I've ever seen?

And here's what I mean by that.

It's like you take these guys off the street and then you strap them to a table and you say, unzie laser is going to cut your head in half.

No, it's not going to.

We all know it's not going to.

Can we stop acting like bond villains?

Can we actually take care of the problem?

Actually arrest these people, try them, and put them in jail.

We need to start setting a few examples.

Otherwise, this is going to continue to spiral out of control.

More in just a second.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

Our sponsor is Rough Greens.

Oh, boy.

Let me guess.

Your dog used to eat like a rabid wolf.

I know.

And then just stop one day, kind of lost interest.

You've tried every brand.

You've tried tried every dog food you get your hands on, dry, wet, raw, homemade.

Nothing worked.

Now you're about two wasted cans away from cooking steak and letting the dog eat off your plate because the dog's got to eat.

Turns out the problem might not be the food itself, but what it is missing.

Dog food, as it's processed today, loses a ton of its nutritional value.

Vitamins, probiotics, enzymes, all of it gone.

Rough Greens fixes that.

It's a nutritional topper that you sprinkle on whatever food your dog already eats or doesn't eat.

And suddenly that dog food isn't just food anymore.

It's a complete meal, and they love it.

It's full of everything your dog needs to get back to that energy, shinier coat, happier belly.

And yeah, picky eaters start chouting down again.

I've seen it with my own dog, Uno.

Upgrade your dog's food with rough greens.

Rough Greens, a healthy change for a changing dog.

10 Seconds, Stage 90.

You know, Glenn, you're mentioning the MELT Act, which is this bill in New York City that is going to ban masks.

on IT.

Except for college students on college campuses, I'm sure.

Right.

Yeah.

I mean, first of all, the risk of COVID-19, I'm very concerned about that.

Oh, very.

These poor ICE agents are, I mean, if you can't wear a mask outdoors, you're almost certain to die of COVID.

I mean, we know that from the science.

You know, that's a whole other story.

But what could possibly be the reason to keep masks off of ICE agents other than to target them and their families personally?

What could, I mean, can you come up with any coherent reason why you would need to do that?

The only reason is they want, when these pictures are taken and we see these poor children running out of the marijuana fields,

when we see that, you can identify them individually and then go harass them at their homes, harass their families, destroy their lives.

That's it.

It's the only possible reason.

There's no other coherent reason why you would care.

Well, yeah, but they'll spin it the other way.

Those Those are the bad guys.

Those are the bad guys.

Those are the fascist pigs that have to die and pay for it.

That is what they are admitting.

And with this act.

And that's a crucial thing.

This is law enforcement we're talking about.

These are people who are

risking their lives on a day-to-day basis to enforce the law.

You might not like the law.

There's a lot of laws I don't like, frankly.

But that doesn't mean you take that out on law enforcement.

They are doing this.

And these are the people who are praising individuals that go execute CEOs CEOs of healthcare companies, right?

It's the same people.

Let me tell you, here's what's coming.

Mark my words.

Here's what's coming.

Elon Musk has the satellite capability.

Elon Musk has the electricity generation.

He has the server farms.

He has Optimus and he has Grok4.

When our cities are in absolute turmoil,

Elon Musk is going to step forward and say, let me give you these robots.

They're more intelligent.

They can figure out everything that is going on.

They can record everything.

They see everything.

Let me just give them to your city to help out because you don't have police officers that will do the work anymore.

That's how you get

RoboCop.

Glenn Beck.

And it's coming to a country near you.

Lear Capital, every time you see the turbulence in the world, the wars, the political chaos, the bank failures, the interest rate madness, people start buying gold.

When I told you just a few minutes ago about our debt, if that wasn't something, if something inside of you said, uh-oh, the dollar's not going to last,

something's wrong.

You got to tie these things together.

There is, we're bankrupt.

We're going bankrupt.

And, you know, and

how does that happen?

Over a very long period of time.

And then all of a sudden, overnight, nothing but gold has held its value.

Through recessions, regime changes, market crashes, and much worse than that, gold has withstood the test of time.

It is what the world has returned to every time

since biblical days.

Gold has gone up 40% in the last year.

40%.

Central banks are buying record amounts of it.

Demand is sky high.

If you have a retirement count of 401k or IRA, you can convert part of it into physical gold with Lear Capital.

They make it simple.

Just go to Lear Capital, call them right now.

Their number is 800-957-GOL.

800-957-GOLD.

Call them now.

Mercury1.org is the place to go to help with the floods in Texas and New Mexico.

MercuryOne.org.

My gosh.

Welcome to the program.

We're glad you're here.

Oh, where should we start?

Where should we start?

By the way, I was watching a video from Microsoft.

And you know how I told you yesterday they're going to be making new compounds?

You know, Grok4 is going to be able to make new compounds, make new chemicals,

you know, things that we never even thought of, new alloys.

Well, apparently I missed this.

A friend of mine sent me this video and said, hey, Glenn, it's already happening at Microsoft.

Microsoft, at one of their big

unveiling parties, they showed a new tool that they're using to come up with new compounds and new alloys and everything else.

And they showed the process, and you just type it in, blah, blah, blah.

And they were looking for a new coolant to be able to spend

high-speed computers in because, you know, it's just too, too hot, takes too much energy to keep them cool, blah, blah, blah.

But the problem is the coolant is so bad for the environment and so uh they went in and they used their new quantum computer and they typed in and said hey you know can we uh can you come up with something and they explained exactly what they were looking for and it came up with a new coolant and said combine these things together and it will not be bad for the environment and it'll keep everything cool.

So what they did is they just did that.

They didn't argue with it or anything.

They just did what the computer said and then poured it into what looks like a giant fish tank and then dropped a computer into it with no fans, nothing.

And it stayed perfectly cool without any fans or anything trying to keep it cool.

Just

a new chemical compound that they threw together through

quantum computing.

a problem they couldn't solve before.

How do we keep it cool?

Now they found it.

I mean, it's already there.

I mean, I think we are in for,

you know,

I don't know if I told you this yesterday, Stu, as I was doing some more research.

No, because you left yesterday up here.

We didn't have a chance to talk, but I was doing more research on,

you know, AI.

And

it is going so far ahead, so fast, that just two days ago, I thought we were going to be really far ahead of the game on things, and we still are going to be way ahead of the game.

However, However,

it's happening at such a rapid speed that

I'm not sure if when we launch, it's going to be

the latest, greatest.

You know what I mean?

It's moving so rapidly now.

And the idea that I have for this project that I'm working on that will be,

I'll tell you about it here in a couple of months, but

it is

the idea is to get you ready for a time when nothing makes sense.

And this is just to educate you, yourself, your family on principles and civic duties and the Constitution so you can be strong in the core.

We were working on it last night on finding ways to be able to figure out, is that a deep fake or is this real?

We want to provide you with the tools to be able to know the truth and then know them and learn them inside of yourself.

And I'm looking at what is on the horizon and I'm thinking,

we being ahead,

we may be

behind by January.

And

anybody who's not working on anything with AI, and I mean not seriously working on anything with AI, your company, you are going to find yourself out of business soon.

It is just, it's going to happen.

It's going to happen.

You have to pay attention to what is going on with AI

and follow it and use it wisely.

Use it with wisdom.

Don't just go for the

answer, the quick answer.

Go to have it teach you so you can then have wisdom because it's not really going to have wisdom.

At least you don't know who's programming the wisdom behind it.

And that is the real, that's the real problem.

Yeah.

But anyway, isn't it true, Glenn, that like,

I'm sure you've, in all of your reading and studying on this, you've thought about this quite a bit, but it's like, isn't there a pro isn't there like a weird thing with like an end date of human knowledge in a way?

Where like,

If you have people who forever grow up, learn things, understand them, progress.

They're building the infrastructure of thought, right?

Like you're advancing thought, you're creating things, you're understanding things, you're going forward.

And then at some point,

if there's not human beings doing that because they're going to AI for everything, that process doesn't occur.

And that's the process that trained AI.

So

it's the end of the expert class.

Why go to school?

Now, there's lots of reasons to go to school

that go beyond

just being the smartest person on the planet.

But why go to school to learn any particular skill?

Why go to be an expert?

Why go and be the expert on history?

What, so you can write books that nobody's going to read?

Why be the expert that everybody looks to when you have just a fraction of the knowledge that Grok will have.

I know I'm going to get a better answer from Grok than from you.

So it is the end of the expert class, which is, in some ways, makes me very happy.

However, be careful because these AI systems will give you one answer.

Like Google right now gives you page after page after page of answers, and everybody just goes to the top, but at least the other answers are there.

This will give you one answer.

And people will just take that as the gospel.

And, you know, the idea is this should free you up to do a bunch of other things.

And I know in my case, and you know, you and I have been working on it this week, in our case, it is going to free us up to do so much more.

And it will speed up the process of education and everything else.

And it will be really, really good

for a while.

And then I think, you know, there's going to be the vast vast majority that are just going to be lazy on it.

And it's going to watch you as much as you're watching it.

And

then what happens?

Then what are you worth?

Why did you go to school?

You think people are upset that they can't get jobs now?

Give it two years.

When you go to school and you pay all this money, I'm telling you,

college is damn near a total waste of money, especially the kind of education that you're getting because you're not taught critical thinking.

The only thing that should be taught now is how to think, how to think.

But what they're doing is they're telling you what to think.

Well, I can get that from Grok eventually.

I'll get that from ChatGPT eventually.

You know, you have to be taught how to think.

Because we're churning out these...

I mean, most of our problems are caused because nobody knows how to think.

Nobody's using critical thinking.

Nobody's asking critical questions.

You're not being taught that.

Are you?

Yeah, because that's the problem.

This is one of the issues I've noticed with AI and the way the average person uses it.

It's not even that you ask it a question and it gives you one answer, right?

Because as you point out, that's an obvious problem because whoever's putting, whoever's programming this, whoever's garbage in, garbage out,

if that one answer is bad, then everyone's just getting this one bad answer.

But what I've noticed about people that in like in my life and, you know, friends and family who use this is

they ask the questions in like a leading way.

And what AI is really, really good at is coming up with some answer that will support the thing you're asking it.

Like if I say like, you know, give me a good case as to why Glenn Beck is the next fascist dictator of the United States.

There's not a good case to that.

There's no argument.

May I tell you how it would answer you?

Because this will make your point because I've seen it over and over and over again.

Wow, now that's getting to the heart of the question.

Right.

Yeah, it gives you, it compliments you.

It glazes you before it gives you an answer that makes no sense.

Yes.

But it's smart enough to come up with an argument to support the thing that you want.

So like, you know, like if you go on there and like, let's say

you're a believer in some supplement, right, that has a questionable health benefit, right?

If you go on there and you say, hey, my friend says,

you know,

I don't know, tree bark won't make you cure cancer.

Give me an argument.

You know, what's the best argument that it can?

And it will give you the best argument that it can cure cancer, whatever that is.

It'll come up with some justification.

And like the way I use it, and I think the way you use it, Glenn, is the complete opposite of that.

Give me the best argument against this thing that I want to believe, right?

Like a lot of times I use it as like a devil's advocate.

Well, am I not thinking this through fully?

And that it's really beneficial because it'll bring up facts that you might not know or

some angle you haven't thought of that will help strengthen your argument or maybe change it.

But like, that's not how I think the average person uses it.

Let me show you this.

This is what we're churning out.

And here's what happens when you don't know how to think anymore and you haven't questioned,

you know, really,

you know, if you're a lawyer and you haven't questioned enough to really absolutely understand

what the law even means, I'm going to play something.

This is from 2016.

It is in the U.S.

Court of Appeals, the Ninth Circuit, and they're questioning a child protective services lawyer about how her client, the social worker,

could possibly think that perjury is acceptable.

Now, listen to this.

Cut 35, please.

It looks like we're having

cut 35, Glenn.

Yeah, of all the cuts.

You've just picked all the cuts.

We're not trying the case.

But how can a person in the shoes of your clients possibly believe that it was appropriate to use perjury and false evidence in order to impair somebody's liberty, interest in the continued care, custody, and control of that person's children?

How could they possibly not be on notice that you can't do that?

I understand the argument.

How could that possibly be?

I understand the argument that it seems to be common sense and our ethical professional.

It's more than common sense.

It's statutes that prohibit perjury and submission of false evidence in court cases.

State statutes.

Are you telling me that a person in your client's shoes couldn't understand you can't commit perjury in a court proceeding in order to take somebody's children away?

Of course not, Your Honor.

Of course not.

Isn't the case over then?

And the case is over.

Because

Kostanich is distinguishable in my view.

How in the world?

Kostanich deals with a secondary

foster care.

That's a whole strange thing.

It's not a person's real child.

Even if Kostanich is distinguished.

And guardians, the same thing.

Even if Kostanich is distinguishable,

there is...

Thus far, we have not been presented with any

clearly established right that tells us that what our clients did, which is remove the children pursuant to a court order.

No, but what they're accused of doing and what the issue is here is committing perjury in a court to take away someone's children.

And you just said that's obviously not okay to do.

According to our moral compass and our ethical guidelines, but what we're here to decide is the constitutionality of it and we look to the courts.

You mean due process is somehow consistent with a government official introducing perjured testimony and false.

How is that consistent?

I mean, I hate to get pumped up about this, but I'm just staggered by the claim that people in the shoes of your clients wouldn't be on notice that you can't use perjury and false evidence to take away somebody's children.

That to me is mind-boggling.

In criminal proceedings, we know this to be true because that's the- No, no, a criminal proceedings, this is court, it's a court proceeding with a liberty interest, a fundamental liberty interest at stake.

And on the reverse side, the state of the world.

And

you're telling us that these officials who do this all the time couldn't be on notice that you can't commit perjury and put in false evidence.

All this and more on the next episode of America's Worst Lawyers.

But that is the thinking now.

That is what our schools are churning out.

Well, that is a construct.

We're here to decide if that construct even really exists other than in paper.

And look at how many times have we seen people commit perjury in front of Congress?

And it doesn't matter anymore.

This is what our education system is pumping out right now.

And it's only going to get worse unless you prepare right now and you start preparing your kids and educating them on

actual truth.

There is universal eternal truths.

Lying

is against all eternal truths.

Lying to take away someone's children,

if that attorney knew that that was happening, that attorney should be in jail.

We've talked about AI as a black hole.

Like you either, I guess, learn to manage it or risk being swallowed by it.

And like it or not, that is something that we all have to deal with.

The AI revolution is already here.

We've talked about this hour.

While we're not facing some sci-fi robot uprising yet,

the speed of change is creating real risks.

One of them is home title theft.

And as AI advances faster than most people can keep up, criminals are already finding ways to exploit the confusion.

With just a few tools, they can forge documents, they can fake identities, they can potentially transfer your home title without you even knowing.

Everything seems normal until something suddenly is not, and by then it might be too late.

It's a kind of threat that does not make headlines, but when it hits, it hits hard, and it's fixing it that kind of comes into that category of just, oh, gosh, you just want to go hide somewhere in a cave.

That's why I use Home Title Lock.

Navigating Medicare is like trying to assemble IKEA furniture with absolutely no instructions and half the pieces are in, you know,

in Latin.

Most people think they have it figured out until surprise, bills start rolling in.

And many families get help from agents who aren't even really tied to Medicare.

They just...

You know, they're just commission hunters who steer you toward whatever plan pays them the most.

It's really bad.

Chapter is different.

And it was actually started by a group of people that had their parents just ripped off by some of these advisors.

They're fully licensed Medicare advisory.

Their team gets paid the same no matter what plan you choose.

the Glen Beck Program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

There's some good news in the world of justice.

We're going to get into that here in just a second.

First, I am proud to have PragerU as a sponsor and as friends.

America is about to turn 250 years old.

And if you could stand up and make a toast, say something true and meaningful before the cake is cut, what would you say?

Would you talk about, you know, the freedoms, the Bill of Rights, or the crazy idea that ordinary people can rule themselves?

Or would you stand there realizing that most of the room doesn't even know why we're celebrating in the first place?

Prager U is on the front line of teaching this.

They're here to change the ignorance that we have fostered in our own society.

They've launched a national initiative called America 250, a campaign to help restore our founding values before the 250th hits.

They're producing free daily videos and challenges that teach actual real American history.

I am so thrilled to be a part of this with Prager and just even just telling you about it.

Your kids need to know who wrote the Constitution.

They need to know what freedom costs.

They need to know why America exists and why it's worth defending.

We're in a battle for America's soul.

So go to prageru.com slash Glenn.

Do it now.

PragerU.com slash Glenn.

Sign up for their history and civic challenges.

Share them with your friends and family, especially the young people in your life.

Let's bring in Jason Buttrill, who is our chief researcher on the program.

You know, I'm reading a lot about John Brennan, and, you know, I think everybody knows he's a bad guy.

Well, everybody but MSNBC and CNN.

They know he's a bad guy.

But, you know, Jason, as I was starting to really refresh my memory and look into Brennan as where it looks like maybe the Department of Justice is going to take him on

and maybe prosecute him for some pretty bad perjury,

I started looking into him and I didn't realize, I had completely forgotten.

He was the guy who was the main guy that was pushing for torture during the war.

I mean, he couldn't torture enough people.

And then he actually had a little group that would meet with the president and they would develop the kill list.

Do you remember, Stu, talking about the kill list that Obama was doing, you know, every week?

They develop a kill list.

And everybody's like, what do you mean a kill list?

Who's on the kill list?

It was John Brennan that was doing all of that stuff.

He's a really, really dark dude.

And hopefully we'll actually send him to jail for the things that he allegedly has done, besides developing a kill list.

Jason, welcome to the program.

Hey, thanks, Glenn.

I don't, you know, it depends on,

I don't know.

John Brennan has been one of the most slippery.

I don't know how to describe him, whether it's like Bond villains or actually maybe it's more accurate to call him like a Batman villain.

Because you remember in Batman, you know, if like the Joker is connected to the main in that comic or cartoon or if it's the penguin, you know that at the end of the comic, they're going to get away.

You're just going to see them in a slide, you know, all of a sudden in a page where they just slip away because they can't be caught.

They have to live again, you know, to be the villain in another comic book.

That's kind of John Bill.

Yeah, I know.

and I, and we are playing the role of a, of a, of a bond villain as well when it comes to justice.

Our DOJ is like, oh, and und we have sharks that are going to eat you.

We've strapped you to this table, but they are going to start with your shoestrings, and then we will leave.

But before you know it, you'll be dead in the belly of a shark.

And you're like, they're not going to eat the shark.

They're not going to kill them.

Just shoot them in the head.

What are you doing?

Stop with a shark thing.

That's what our DOJ is like.

They just,

these guys just get away with murder.

Yeah,

as you point out, with Brennan, it goes way, way back, even before he was confirmed as CIA director.

You know, he was one of, as you, as you outlined, he was one of the ones that were like right at the center of the enhanced interrogation or torture

technique controversy.

He always said, oh, hey, I was not in the enhanced interrogation techniques air quoted

program, but he was one of the guys that was defending transferring some of the suspects to countries where

the rules are a lot less strict than they are here in the United States.

So you can employ some of these.

Yeah, but I mean, it goes beyond that.

He actually, you know, he withdrew his name

from being in contention to be CIA director because of this.

But like any Batman villain or Bond villain,

he decides to run again later in 2013, and he's confirmed by a massive amount.

He just keeps on slipping through.

Well, how did he?

Let me ask you, how do you think he gets this power?

Because he just, he does keep slipping through.

And, you know, if I remember right, it was Diane Feinstein that

actually came at him and said, you

and the CIA are spying on

the committee in

the Senate.

And they were investigating the torture or enhanced interrogation.

And he was knee-deep, maybe neck-deep in that.

And

he said, we're not spying.

The CIA would never do that.

This is unthinkable.

Well, it turns out, yes, they were spying.

And then he never, they never pushed for any kind of penalty on him.

He said, well, I'm going to find out who did this, and then they're going to pay.

Nobody paid.

Nobody, nothing.

Does he have stuff on

members of the Senate and the House?

Is that what's happening here?

How does he keep getting away with this?

Understanding John Brennan, in my opinion, is understanding how the deep state operates.

That example that you just put out there with the Senate, you know, spying on the Senate Intelligence Committee, deny, deny, deny.

Later, it comes out that Glenn, five CIA employees, five,

improperly accessed Senate computers, five.

And then finally, after a while, like months later, he's apologizing to the Senate Intelligence Committee, you know, all but admitting this happened, but no resignations, no prosecutions.

This goes

on and on and on.

Hang on.

And then on that same case, five years later, he writes his, you know, his biography, and he talks about how none of that happened.

So he admits it.

First, he denies it.

Then he's caught.

Then he admits it.

He says, I'm going to take care of it.

Nothing happens.

Time goes by.

And then he writes a book and he's like, all of that, none of that happened.

That was all wrong.

This guy is just

a body villain.

Yeah.

It really is.

And it's the same with the Steele dossier,

you know, denying it in front of Congress.

And then, you know, later, now that we're coming out saying, oh, well, you know, now we can see that he totally was just, it appears like he was just completely lying.

Now we're trying to figure out what he told John Durham because maybe they can get him for

saying the same statements to John Durham.

If they can, then maybe we can go after him.

But I really don't know.

I don't know if the audience really wants to hear this right now, but I don't know if it'll make a difference.

This is how the deep state operates.

And

to understand it and to understand John Brennan, you understand that the executive does not really control deep state apparatuses.

That's not how it works.

You have multiple people and people that were under John Brennan, the CIA, are still there.

They're still there.

The deep state controls the deep state apparatus, not the executive, not Congress, none of them.

It is these shady individuals that continue to get away with things.

We catch them in lies.

It never really matters.

I think that if we could actually get some justice on this, if John Brennan can actually

get

outed publicly like he has in the past, but this time something actually happened, then I think that would be a huge step forward in getting rid of some of these people that just linger and secretly pull strings while we're demanding justice.

So tell me what happened with the

ICA, you know, the new report out about the

intelligence community assessment.

What is this story all about?

Yeah, it's a tradecraft, it's a CIA tradecraft review.

And it looks like

what does that mean, a tradecraft review?

It's kind of a sexy way of just saying how did we operate from this time to this time period.

And

it points out

how things like the

part of it how things like the steel dossier ended up getting included into the whole Russia Gate scandal.

And

it looks very, very clear that that should not have, unverified intelligence should not have gotten as far as the president's desk it should not have done it and even if it had then it should have been you know heavily caveated showing that this is just opposition research bull crap well it didn't and if you if you if you look at it very very specifically it shows that you know if you are let's say a bond villain or a batman villain and you really really want this damaging information that's just opposition research to somehow make it into the halls of the white house and then knowing that that's going to get leaked down to the media, they perfected, you know,

they've perfected this kind of operation.

They know exactly what they're doing.

Who would be responsible for doing it?

Why would they be doing it?

And it would be for election interference.

And then that's allegedly what John Brennan was actually doing.

That's what it looks like he was doing.

So now we've even got

the intelligence community's assessment showing that this is probably what happened.

With that information, and with now being able to go back to people like John Durham or looking at exactly what statements were made to him so that we can fit them into the statue of limitations or before it runs out, that's

in the middle of August, which really pisses me off.

It's another thing like the

debt ceiling.

Oh,

we've had all these years to fix it, but now we've got to fix it tonight.

And then it's never fixed.

I mean, I'm telling you,

this is not going to be good.

You know, this Epstein thing is not going to go away.

It's just not going to go away.

And I'm sorry, but I think the president is on the wrong side on this.

And I'm not assigning any kind of reason for it, but he wants it just to go away.

And I have my belief.

I expressed them yesterday.

It's about Intel again.

But you can't keep stacking these things up.

You just can't.

John Brennan is a known bad guy, Rush Agate.

You would think that Donald Trump would be all over this because it affected his life so much.

This guy is a very, very, very bad guy, and both sides of the aisle know it.

And for some reason, nobody can ever do anything about John Brennan.

He's got to be investigated and prosecuted if that's where the evidence leads.

But you can't just walk away.

If the statute of limitations runs out on this guy,

I think you got another chink in the armor.

a big one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And not just him.

I mean, I would go a lot further and say, who are the people that were directly underneath him?

Who are his subordinates?

Who are their subordinates?

How many of them had knowledge of this?

Because, you know, what we're really talking about is, you know, this is how the deep state operates.

This is how things happen, you know, outside, you know, the wishes of the president, you know, the executive, or even Congress.

This is how, you know, this is how outside, this is how justice and how operations work, you know, from people that are not elected, people that we did not give a mandate to.

This is how this operates.

You have to root out every single one of them, identify them, have them stand in front of justice, and see if we can just finally start to whittle this thing away.

If we do not,

then the future does not look great for what we want for this country.

Oh,

and it's everywhere.

You know, Kevin O'Connor, he's the White House physician for Biden.

The testimony that he gave, well, fine, you know,

give him immunity.

Give him immunity.

I don't want to know about, you know, the private conversations, you know, about his health, although I think that is really important.

We're talking about the president of the United States.

He's not just a private citizen.

He's property.

You know, the president can't say, if the Secret Service says, sir, you're not going in that room.

The president no longer has the right to say, I'm going in that room.

Sorry.

While you're president, it's almost as if you're property of the United States of America and you don't have control over your own person in many ways.

I'm sorry, but

the physician client or physician patient confidentiality, I'm not sure that exists when you're president of the United States.

But there's no reason why you shouldn't give this guy immunity and then say, okay,

who said what?

Were you ever told to lie?

I'm not sure you're going to get the truth out of this guy

because

he's a Biden guy through and through.

But people should start going to jail on that.

I'm so sick and tired of these investigations that start to show promise and then nothing happens.

Nothing.

It's been 20 years of investigations and no one goes to jail.

It's been 20 years of riots on the streets, you know, people burning cities down, people, you know, looting stores, destroying our economy, destroying the safety in our city, and no one goes to jail.

President Trump has got to start sending some big, big messages, and he is on so many fronts.

But this one cannot escape his view.

He's got to be on this one.

All right, Jason, Jason, thank you very much.

Let me tell you about Leaf Filter.

You know, I've never met anybody who says, you know what I love doing, you know, is climbing up on a ladder and digging rotting leaves out with my bare hands.

Oh, I love that.

If I did meet that person, I'd probably back away slowly.

You know what I'm saying?

It's not just gross, it's dangerous.

You slip, you fall, and the next thing you know, you're lying in the yard covered in mud and wondering, Why didn't I hire somebody else to do this?

Oh, that's right, because I'm behind in all my bills.

Anyway, this is a permanent stainless steel micro-mesh system called Leaf Filter.

It exists.

This is the solution.

It fits right over your existing gutters and it leaves, you know, it takes out the leaves, the twigs, the gunk.

So this is the woman that

was on this, you know, viral TikTok video talking about how, you know, Camp Mystic, which the president is visiting today, how Camp Mystic is a whites-only summer camp for Christian conservatives.

Listen to this in case you forgot, listen to this clip.

I know I'm probably going to get canceled for this, but Camp Mystic is a whites-only

girls Christian camp.

They don't even have a token Asian.

They don't have a token black person.

It is a all white,

white-only conservative christian camp if you ain't white you ain't right you ain't getting in you ain't going period and i think that context needs to be said

in this matter

it's not to say that we don't want the girls to be found who whatever girls that are missing or whatever right now but you best believe especially in today's political climate if this were a group of Hispanic girls, especially with them being in East Texas, it should be most likely Hispanic.

If this were a group of Hispanic girls out there,

this would not be getting this type of coverage that they're getting.

No one would give a f.

And all these white people, the parents of these little girls, would be saying things like, they need to be deported.

They shouldn't have been here in the first place.

And yada, yada, yada.

So before y'all come at me.

Stop.

Before, well, people did come at her.

Unfortunately for her,

she was canceled.

And there's a lot of sympathy on her side.

She started a

GoFundMe project where she said, I just need to, you know, I've lost my job and I don't think anybody's going to hire me for a while.

So, you know, I need your help.

I'm trying to raise $20,000.

And it started a couple of nights ago.

Last time I checked, it was at $145.

Now, remember, the kid that killed the other kid in Texas in the stands, in the grandstand seats,

what, six months ago, eight months ago,

he raised millions of dollars, okay, for his defense.

This 145, I think it's up to a thousand now.

So, congratulations on that.

To me, that's a good sign.

To me, that's saying, ah, maybe people are starting to wake up, you know,

just a little bit.

Maybe people have had enough of some of this stuff.

By the way,

the floods in New Mexico, the floods in Texas, they have taken quite a toll.

And I have to tell you,

I can't thank you enough for just rushing to the aid of these people through Mercury One.

It has been remarkable.

I talked to some of the guys that are at Mercury One this week, and they're just, they're amazed by you and what you have provided and what you have done.

The aid in New Mexico is really, really, really desperately needed.

I think we're on the ground there.

We are on the ground in Texas right away, but they can use your help.

Please go to mercury1.org, mercury1.org and be a part of the solution.

This is Glenn Beck.

All right.

Let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Every generation of Christian believers has been called to stand with Israel at some point or another over the past 2,000 years.

I guess it's just part of the job description, you know, and we fail over and over and over again.

We have failed.

And

so many people are already starting to fail that test.

As we're being called to stand by God's children again, so many people are starting to say, well, it's just we wouldn't have a problem with them Jews if it wasn't for all them Jews.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Listen to yourself.

Since the attacks of October 7th and in the moments after thousands of innocent families have been forced from their homes, entire communities have been shaken.

The world's eyes, you know, may have moved on, but the pain hasn't, and we must not move on.

You know, I'd like to say this about the Palestinian people as well, but every time you try to send aid to the Palestinian people, they end up shooting the aid workers.

So, you know,

I guess all ideologies and all religions are not equal, but maybe that's just me.

Time to stand with Israel's innocent and most vulnerable.

Rush your gift now.

Call 888-488-IFCJ.

888-488-IFCJ or go online at ifcj.org.

This is Whitney Webb.

You'll hear it in its entirety tomorrow on my YouTube channel, youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.

Okay, listen.

I think he definitely had intelligence connections, and there's a lot

to suggest that was the case.

I think one of the most the earliest hints we heard of that was having a Secretary of Labor, Alex Acosta, under Trump, say that one of the reasons he was pressured into giving Epstein a sweetheart deal during his first arrest in Florida was because he had been told by unspecified actors that Epstein belonged to intelligence.

But that's kind of, you know, what exactly does that mean?

Was he an asset?

Was he on the payroll?

Which intelligence agency?

Multiple intelligence agencies.

When you have his close association with someone like Elaine Maxwell in the mix and her father had affiliations with numerous intelligence agencies, you know, it really is an open question.

You don't want to miss this tomorrow.

Also, Alan Dershowitz, I want you to hear what Alan Dershowitz said about

Epstein and the files.

Listen to this.

This is not an opinion.

This is a fact.

I have seen, remember, I was accused falsely in the Epstein.

And ultimately, I was completely cleared.

The woman admitted that she may have mistook me for somebody else and withdrew all of her lawsuits.

And so from day one, from the day I was accused, I said, I want every document out because I knew every document would prove I was innocent.

So let me tell you, I know for a fact documents are being suppressed, and they're being suppressed to protect individuals.

I know the names of the individuals, I know why they're being suppressed, I know who's suppressing them.

But I'm bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can't disclose what I know.

But I hand to God, I know, I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them.

This is not going to go away, Stu.

I mean, I just, I look at, I look at,

you know, you may not like Dershowitz.

I, I happen to like him,

and I think he was, you know, proven to be correct on this.

But, you know, he did have, I mean, he was the lawyer, and he also had information on the list because he could get it with his court case.

And for him to say, when he says hand to God, I believe him

because he is, I mean, he's a very devout

religious man.

Hand to God,

I've seen them.

I know they're being suppressed.

He's not talking about the people that were like him, maybe on a list, but innocent, is he?

Because that's the one thing you could say.

Maybe he was just saying that there is a list.

No, because he was saying it was it's being suppressed because he

because they're being protected.

Yeah, I mean, I get,

I mean, you can stretch it into something, I guess.

You can maybe say that, you know, the people that are on the list that are innocent and they're protecting them.

Like, I guess you could maybe make that argument.

But it's pretty significant.

In fact, you know, it's particularly interesting with Dershowitz in that, as he pointed out, he was falsely accused.

And, you know,

I mean, again, she came out.

She dropped the lawsuits.

She came out and said, yeah, it might not have been him.

I mean, like, you know, you know, there's legitimate reason to believe he had absolutely, I mean, I believe him that he did not do this.

I do too.

So

you, I don't know.

I think I might expect someone in that situation to be giving the opposite argument, right?

That, you know, there's a lot of people who got wrapped up in this falsely.

And they shouldn't release this because,

you know, I mean, like, look at me.

I got wrapped up in this.

I had nothing to do with it.

And you're going to throw all these names out there.

Everyone's going to start accusing these people of having sex with children.

And it's like, that's totally unfair.

And they should not let any of this stuff out.

Like, I would almost expect that to be his argument.

And instead, his argument is, actually, I've seen it.

It seems like there's a lot there, but I can't talk about it.

That's fascinating to me.

It's.

There's so many different things.

Like, I feel like there's a bunch of unexpected things going on right now.

You know, we we mentioned this, this is off the air.

We were talking at the ranch the other day, but

Jake Tapper had a segment that was on CNN.

And like, I think.

Hang on, just a second.

I have the audio of that.

Let's play that audio.

Okay.

Yeah.

Jake Tapper.

Here's Jake Tapper earlier this week.

While there might not be a list, there are certainly files that can be released.

There's a trove of information.

that the Trump administration is right now refusing to share.

Information that could well point to the powerful folks who availed themselves of the sex trafficking victims of Jeffrey Epstein.

If you go, for example, to the FBI vault online, you can see that there are 22 files containing thousands of pages.

Most of them are heavily redacted.

Now, sure, of course, redact the names and identifying characteristics of the victims, but why not make the victim and witness testimonies public?

As Julie Brown points out, there's still so much we don't know from the investigations by U.S.

attorneys in Miami and in New York, witness interviews in the U.S.

Virgin Islands and New Mexico.

Brown writes that there's still more evidence that hasn't been published, including, quote, Epstein kept video cameras in most of his residences, and Epstein's autopsy, nor the report of the investigation into his death, has ever been made public.

So while there may not be an official client list to be released, as the administration is now saying, there's a lot of extra information that is not being made public.

The public, you, you're being played for fools here.

Wait.

I heard, because I kept seeing

the clip of Tapper saying, you're being played for fools here, the public, and assumed what he was saying was

Donald Trump ran on releasing these files.

He got everybody excited, and then there was nothing there.

And you were played by fools.

He was trying to get you that, if you cared about this, to vote for him, and it was hype.

That's not what he's saying.

He's saying, actually, there's more there,

and and we need to look into it.

Now,

take aside for a second the utter hypocrisy, because I don't remember any segments complaining about Joe Biden not releasing these files.

I don't remember ever seeing that.

These were all in the possession of the Biden administration.

This is not new stuff that Trump just got.

It's just completely crazy to make this a Trump issue.

But take it out of that for a second.

It is really fascinating that that's the way they're going.

Now, I assume, especially because of the point I just made, that the reason they're doing that is just to try to associate Trump with this and take Trump out and hurt Trump and divide the right and a bunch of stuff like that.

So, that might be the explanation for that.

But it is a fascinating take by the mainstream media.

Earlier this week, I had Victor Davis Hanson on, he's one of my favorite historians,

a really, really bright guy.

And I had him on, and we were talking about communism and everything else and what's coming.

And boy, if you missed Wednesday's show,

you missed a real show.

See it on my YouTube channel, youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.

But it was all about communism and the coming civil war and how this is shaping up.

In the end, I asked him about Epstein and what his thoughts were.

Listen to this.

This is Victor Davis Hansen from Wednesday's show.

I think it's pretty clear now that Epstein had no talent other than blackmail, and he was not a financier.

He was not a captain of finance at all.

What he did is he invited very powerful people to his island or his New York home, filmed them, and then he bribed them and he shook them down and said, I'm going to be your quote-unquote financial advisor.

And in exchange for that, I'm not going to release all that stuff.

And whether, you know, there were some

people exposed.

Because I think it's not, I think there are people in the establishment.

I don't know if they partook in

his sick things he was was doing, but

they have some association with him and they have a finance.

They gave him money to invest when there was no reason to hire someone like that.

There were much better financial gurus, but he got a half a billion dollars somehow from people who were mainstream establishmentarians on the basis that he was going to blackmail them.

I think that's how he made his money.

And I think those names are numerous.

And I think the Trump administration thought, well, we're going to release this.

And there's some crazy people that we don't care about are going to be embarrassed.

And then all of a sudden, they got a lot of calls and said, why are you doing this?

I didn't do this.

I went down to the island once.

I was on a plane.

I didn't touch anybody.

And they're saying, and now you're going to release my name and I'll be guilty by, I'm not going to, and I think that's what's happening.

There's a lot of people who were very powerful that were giving him money or were trafficking with him.

Not necessarily all of them engaging in what he was doing, but but just the association with him.

And I think they're putting pressure on people.

I really do.

Does there come a time when you just have to say, I'm really sorry, but the country needs its credibility.

These offices need their credibility.

And

if you're not guilty, then, you know, I'll be there for you and look at your case and everything else.

But, you know, if you're guilty, you're guilty.

We have to restore the credibility or we don't have a country.

Well, you summed up exactly what Pam Bondi and the FBI and people said to us in February.

That's exactly what they said.

And then something has changed in their attitude once they got into the data, the material.

And the conspiracists say, well, you know,

There's officials involved.

I don't know if it's, I think it's more maybe the donor class or people across the political spectrum that are very powerful, influential, and some of them were very terrified of Jeffrey Epstein.

And that's it.

I think you have to start with the premise.

How does somebody with no financial experience end up

with no proven ability as a master of Wall Street with a half a billion dollars?

And when you start looking at who was giving him money to invest, these were people who would never give him money.

and let him invest their money with that background.

And yet they did.

And the reason they did, I think, is that he showed them pictures or he entrapped them.

It is fascinating.

That comes from Wednesday's show.

You can also find that at my YouTube channel, youtube.com/slash Glenbeck.

By the way, if you listen to us on Spotify, we were just talking to Spotify,

and we perform really, really well, but you can't find us in the top 10 or 15.

And we were wondering why.

And they said, well, because your audience doesn't engage.

It doesn't comment or rank or rate.

And so

it's really important that you do those things.

If you're watching us on YouTube, if you're watching us or listening to us on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts, please rank and review, rate and review.

It's really important to help us discover,

to be discovered by new audiences.

All right, let me pause to tell you about Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

Every time a first responder leaves for work, there's a question they carry.

What happens to my family if I don't make it back?

Maybe they don't spend a time dwelling on it, you know, but they all know it's a real deep concern.

Tunnel to Towers was built to answer that very question.

When a hero falls in the line of duty, first responder or military, Tunnel to Towers pays off their mortgage.

They step in and make sure the family has a home.

They build it for the family debt-free so they don't have to worry about where they're going to go next and where they're going to end up.

And they can lift that tremendous burden off of this family family at a time of their maximum grief.

They even build smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans, fully customized to give them independence and dignity.

And get this: Tunnel to Towers does it all with an average donation of $11 a month.

This is how you honor service, this is how you care for those families who have been left behind.

Donate $11 a month to tunnel to towers at t2t.org.

That's tthenumber2t.org.

More Glenn Beck coming up next.

Hello, America.

It's Friday.

I think there's a real reason to believe

what Victor

Davis Hansen was saying about the possibility for

what got

Epstein into this role where he was controlling

billionaires' money with direct access, power of attorney in some cases, over their fortunes and without really the qualifications to have any reason to do so.

And like, so his point, I think there's a legitimate case that it was potentially a black male situation for some of these people.

I think there's another case of like, they, he just,

this was sort of their price to access these girls, right?

Like, you know, to get into that inner circle, it may have been instead of being scared of being outed, this sort of ongoing process that they had access to them in a way that they wouldn't otherwise have access.

I think that's possible as well.

There's also, but I mean, the most innocuous explanation for it, and I don't know, it's hard to explain, but it is a thing that happens.

I listened to a podcast years ago.

It was called

The Mysterious Mr.

Epstein, I think

it was called.

And it was a podcast that kind of went through, focused on his more early life.

Like, how did he rise to this level?

A bunch of the early episodes were about that.

And, you know,

they paint the picture.

It really isn't inexplicable, but it's inexplicable in like several different aspects of his life, like business, science.

He was like worming his way into like high levels of science at like Ivy League universities.

and like

that came from money.

Eventually he was worming.

Yeah, he was worming his way in there because he had so much money.

He was one of these guys though.

If you think of like movies like, you know, catch me if you can, right?

Like where like there's there's some people that have that weird ability to worm themselves into these situations and talk themselves into access.

What was the blood lady's name?

Elizabeth Holmes.

Elizabeth Holmes.

Right.

It's a great example.

Like

she conned everybody.

Yeah.

No No reason for her to, you would ever believe that she'd be able to rise to the level of prominence and build this massive company and get

an amazing board put together of people who had unquestioned credibility at the time.

Oh, yeah.

And like, there is an ability of some people to just do this stuff.

Now, obviously, when you tie in the fact that what we know about Epstein, there's a real reason to believe the others are the truth there, but that's probably the most innocuous explanation for how he got to the point.

No, and I think that could be true.

I mean, look at Bernie and Madoff.

You think these people know.

Yeah.

They would know better.

But,

you know, when you have, you know, former president of the United States, Bill Clinton, you have all of these people that are like, no,

he manages my stuff.

You just assume, well,

They know.

They know.

I mean, I'm looking at it and I don't get it, but they're not going to be duped.

And so you get the right people and you can dupe an awful lot of people like that.

We've seen it again.

Elizabeth Holmes, Bernie Madoff, and possibly Jeffrey Epstein.

Is Glenn back?

What are you doing this weekend, Stu?

It's a good question.

It's a question that on Friday I almost never had the answer to, Glenn.

Here's the answer.

The answer is clear every Friday, at least in my family.

I don't know whatever my wife tells me we're doing.

Well, that's exactly it.

That's exactly it.

I have no idea what you're doing.

I don't know.

I'm sure she has made plans for my whole weekend, and I'm going to be happy doing all of those things.

All those things are probably great.

And once I experience them,

I realized I just don't even think about that.

I don't even think about things.

ahead of time.

Like it's just always next event.

You know what I mean?

And that's why you never really,

if you find it difficult as you get, you know, certainly when you have kids and you know, other business concerns and all that, you don't have that time to like stop or sit around and just like think.

That was interesting about being at the ranch, honestly.

It felt like you did there at least a little bit.

Now I know, obviously,

there's no noise, there's no

cable news, there's nothing.

There's no noise.

Every once in a while, you hear.

Yes.

You're like, is that a cow?

Wait a minute.

That's the first time I thought all day.

All right.

Bag of it.

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

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.

Hello, you sick freak.

It's Friday from the Standing Rock Ranch.

We are so glad that you've tuned in today.

Thank you so much.

We're going to go through some of the stuff we've missed this week, because we've missed a lot.

There's been a lot going on.

I don't know if you've noticed your country is on fire.

But we'll grab the fire extinguisher here in just a second.

First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

You and your dog, you have a deal.

You don't eat his food, he doesn't eat yours.

The other day, you poured his Kivoli and looked at you like, really?

This is it again.

Like you're serving me a bowl of packing peanuts.

And you know, he's kind of right, you know, that dry food, it's dead.

It's nutritionally incomplete.

And when you realize just how few nutrients there are that are left in this dry kibble food after they process it, let's just say, if you were your dog, I would have...

I would have looked at, you know, I would have looked at where you weird as well.

It's not the dog food.

It's a nutritional supplement that you need.

You sprinkle it on their food, no matter what they're eating, and it's full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and antioxidants, stuff your dog actually needs.

Stuff they're not getting from Kibble alone.

And let me tell you, the difference, the difference is night and day.

I hear this from everybody who has ever tried Rough Greens.

Healthier coat, better digestion, an attitude that says, hey, thanks for finally figuring this out, human.

They have more energy.

They're back to being a puppy again in many cases.

It's roughgreens.com.

All right, let me go through.

Let me go through some of the things.

First of all, Stu,

what do you think of the movie Superman?

Is it worth trying or should we wait until next week?

I mean, I have no reason to rush out and see it beforehand.

I have seen a decent amount of reviews on it, and it feels from regular people.

From regular people,

not as much.

I would say more of like

more sane critics.

You know, like, for example, I saw a bunch of posts yesterday from a friend of ours, Giancarlo Sopo.

We haven't talked to him in a while, but

he's been doing some movie reviews as part of his writing.

And he was like, yeah, it wasn't this woke nightmare that everyone's saying it might be.

Like he was.

I mean,

is that sabotage?

Was somebody trying to sabotage this movie?

You know, because I mean, it was, it's, it's like they were promoting it like it was Snow White all over again.

Yeah.

Did you not learn this lesson, Hollywood?

Nobody wants to hear that from you.

I don't know if it was, I mean, there was, it's interesting.

I don't know if it was

some intentional thing they did.

Like,

you know, was it.

Right.

Or was it just an actor going way off script?

And it really started with the director, right?

Wasn't it James Gunn with the first segment where he was saying, hey, this is politics.

It is a political film.

You know, it's about a guy who's an immigrant and comes here from another place.

And of course it's political.

That was the first thing I heard.

And you'd think of anyone who would know to be careful

about how you phrase things, it would be James Gunn, who was basically canceled earlier in his career for making

very

offensive jokes on Twitter and lost the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, at least for a time.

And you'd think just PB,

let's make sure this is about the movie and we're not doing anything that's going to ruin the promotion of this.

Then since then, there have been, I think his brothers said something.

Other people involved in the movie have said something.

There was also what turned out to be a false

internet rumor that was going around saying that they had changed the truth, justice, and the American way to truth, just, and in the human way, which apparently is not true.

Well, remember, the last time they did Superman, they already had changed that.

It was just truth and justice.

There was no American way.

Right.

I think it's

back to the American Way now?

I think.

That would be great.

Yeah.

You know, I've seen seen some stuff about what happens in the movie.

Certainly seems like Superman likes America in the movie, from what I've heard.

So that sounds good.

So, I mean, I am not a fan of these movies.

I'm not a fan of superhero movies.

I don't really care, honestly.

But it is, from what I've heard, it's not a great movie, but it's also not a woke paradise either.

Did you see F1?

I haven't yet.

Is that really good?

Oh.

oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

I really want to see it.

Oh, you know what?

We should try to go see it next week together.

Let's go see it in IMAX.

Oh, yeah.

It is, it is, it's remarkable.

It feels like you are actually driving the car at times.

One of the drivers, who's that kid that's driving not for Mercedes now, but

I can't remember.

But he said, it is the closest thing to actually driving in an F1 race.

And it's a great storyline.

It's one of those, you know, you root for the underdog.

You know, Brad Pitt is completely, his character is completely likable.

You're just really, and it's a good message, too.

I mean, it's not a message movie, but it's a good message in it as well.

And it's just really good.

If you liked

Ford versus Ferrari, You're going to love this movie.

I'm really into race car movies.

And

I think this is the best race car movie I've ever seen.

Really?

It's really good.

Yeah, it's really good.

Wow.

It's really, really, really, really, really good.

Made $120 million so far in theaters.

Did much better internationally than most American releases.

180 million.

Americans are more into NASCAR than F1.

Yeah, F1, it's funny because, you know, as you know, Glenn, I like sports.

I watch a lot of sports.

I take in a lot of sports content.

I have less knowledge about F1 than you do do about almost any sport.

Like, I don't know anything about it.

Like, I didn't watch the documentaries.

That seems to be the real reason, though, why there's this increased

documentary.

Yeah, they're good.

They're great.

That series is really good.

Yeah.

Really good.

And you really start to understand.

You're like, holy cow.

And when you understand these cars and how precise they are, I mean,

it's really, really nuts.

I'd love to go over to Laman is at F1, isn't it now?

Yeah.

Isn't it?

You don't know.

What am I asking?

I really don't know.

I have no idea.

I don't know if you're going to ask me a sports question about boxing or baseball.

I won't be like you can try to make some complicated analogy involving politics and F1 right now.

I won't even attempt it because I know I don't know anything about it.

So this is a lesson for you, Glenn.

Right.

Yeah.

Well, no, I mean, I think I've been pretty good on my analogies.

I wasn't so good.

Even wasn't so good.

And I'm, yeah, I've improved.

It's not good, but I have improved.

No, you've gone from like you know why?

I because I don't give up.

I keep trying, Stu.

I'm not like you.

I'm not a quitter.

I keep trying.

I mean, ask Beto O'Rourke.

Sometimes it's worth giving up.

You know, sometimes it's the right decision.

Yeah.

I saw something,

a trailer for Lucky Larry's preposterous plan by Timeline Junkie Films.

And I'm not sure if this was done by AI or not.

It is such evil propaganda, but it is, I mean, it's evil because I think it's going to be extraordinarily effective.

Look at the, watch this trailer, Stu.

Watch this.

$1.5 billion.

Well, now that's just insane.

These are talking about the vultures are trying to pluck my eyes out.

Have you talked to Rudy yet?

Rudy was the one who told me.

That's the price.

I mean, what do you want me to say?

It's 1.5.

It's just what it is.

This is just when big things move, all parties have to be mutually,

you know.

Well, it goes without saying.

Somebody is incredibly niffed.

You made that deal.

My guys told me 150 million tops.

If I can't get that out of those walls for less than 1.5 billion, I'm Fakakta.

You understand?

I never should have listened to you.

I never told you to buy two towers of Babel filled with asbestos.

Nothing in New York real estate is that easy.

You weren't buying a delivery.

I don't have 1.5.

I need that out of the walls or I need those buildings going.

What I told you is never going to happen.

The demolition will probably cost more than it did to build things.

See?

Fagakta.

At this point, it costs less to get someone to fly planes into the building and collect the insurance

for that.

You'd need terrorism insurance.

I'll call you back.

Deborah.

I'm right here, sir.

Oh, I need you to find out what kind of terrorism insurance we've got on those pieces towers.

Stop.

This thing is, this is, I mean, look how well done that is.

And that would appeal to people like my son who are young and, you know, it's just a different way of doing a documentary.

If this is AI, it's even more frightening because that can be done by anybody now with any crazy idea.

I think it's a good idea.

Almost definitely AI, right?

I mean, I think it's...

Right.

I thought for sure it was.

Yeah, it certainly seems like it's AI.

Yeah.

But again, and the point of that, it was a little hard to understand, but basically they're, you know, it's this, they're saying

9-11 was not real and, you know, it was an inside job.

No, they said it was real.

It was because of an inside job because there was asbestos in the walls of the World Trade Center.

And so the owner was like, I'm not going to be able to afford this.

This is crazy.

It's going to cost us more than the buildings themselves.

You know, let's fly buildings in and collect insurance.

I mean, it's really easy.

Come on.

These theories.

It was because he had asbestos.

He was like so concerned about the asbestos in the wall that he killed thousands of people.

Like, it's so.

Everyone, it's so easy to apply these terrible

motivations to other people, isn't it?

It's so easy to do.

It's just like you just look, well, what if they're the worst person and all they want to do is kill everyone all the time?

It makes every little part of the to explain the world so much easier.

It really does,

except you have to forget

about who did blow up the World Trade Centers.

You know what I mean?

Yes, tear up the World Trade Center, and who was that?

That was Osama bin Laden.

And that group, not

him per se,

but those people are still

trying to destroy us.

And you're focused on this, really?

I mean, it is

the propaganda that is now

out

and against America is really overwhelming.

I mean, how do you grow up today and actually believe in America?

How do you do that?

You have to find a place that will

actually give you the truth about it.

And that's really, really hard.

You know, I know it's one of the things you're very highly concerned with right now and is one of the reasons why you're building what you're building.

I mean,

if you can't find this information and where, like, when the people who are highly entertaining and engaging people are giving it to you in formats like that, or on the conspiracy sort of side, or just the typical Hollywood anti-American slop that they churn out,

man,

it's an uphill battle.

And you wonder why.

What was that chart we did that poll the other day where since

basically the mid-2010s, Democrats have gone from 80%

being proud to be American to 36%.

Basically, I mean,

that doesn't happen just naturally.

No.

You don't fall like that naturally.

There's no way.

I mean, that's carefully groomed.

You've been carefully groomed.

And it's getting to the point.

Listen to this.

It's cut, I think it's 11 from Canada,

where the Royal canadian mounted police staff sergeant says in an interview with canadian news channel that um that someone who believed in gender uh in equal gender rights but then veers towards traditional values

well listen to what she says what they're saying on a subject like becoming more extremist like and um if someone you know was very um

uh believed in equal gender rights, but all of a sudden are leaning towards like traditional values.

And that might be a sign that they're becoming more extremist.

More extremist.

This is a cop.

This is, I mean, this is a spokesperson

for the Royal Mounted Police.

you're becoming extremist if you're starting to go, you know what, I think the traditional values, that is just a total turning of everything upside down.

Now listen to the president of the American Academy of Pediatrics on CNN.

Listen to this, cut 12.

For us, this isn't just about COVID vaccine.

This is sowing doubt in families' minds about all the vaccines and vaccine delivery.

A colleague of mine told me the other day that a patient shared with her, I trust you, but I no longer trust vaccines.

And we need our our leaders and everyone who has any interest in public health to be giving a clear message that vaccines are safe and it is how we protect our communities.

We need to get everyone making sure that they're confidently recommending patients get vaccinated as a way to protect their health and their community's health.

Now, listen to that.

Listen to that.

Without addressing why people, they're blaming it on RFK.

People have been anti-vaxxers for a very long time.

I don't know.

It's not new.

Okay.

Why did suddenly everybody go, vaccines are bad, and I don't trust the vaccine and I don't trust the vaccine companies and I don't trust my doctors per se or the federal government to tell me what to put into my body because they just forced you to put in a vaccine and they lied about it.

And then none of them came out and said, hey, you know what?

We're really sorry.

We just, we didn't know this, you know, and we're going to go put those people in jail or we're going to make sure those people aren't in charge of any of the vaccine stuff.

So they deny the very facts that led people to go, I don't trust any of you guys anymore.

And what do they say?

We just need more propaganda.

We just need people to be very, we need to shut people like RFK up.

And we need people just to toe the party line and everybody say, no, vaccines are good.

I think vaccines are great.

I think vaccines have saved millions of people,

but I don't trust the vaccine.

I don't trust the people who are making them.

I'm not going to trust them blindly.

You know, before it was like, hey, you know, this has got some side effects.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now, you come up with something new.

No, I'd like to see that trial.

I'd like to really dig into that now.

And it's not because I don't trust vaccines.

I don't trust the people who are making them.

And I don't trust the people that are pushing them.

I think it's healthy to be a little skeptical.

But what are the people pushing all this stuff doing?

They're saying, you can't be skeptical.

Well, that's not going to help on trust.

Fix the problem that caused most of that.

And that is you forced people to take something that you lied about.

Fix that, and you'll fix a lot of the arrest of the problem with vaccines.

All right, back in just a second.

First.

know, I wish, I wish burglars would just schedule a time.

You know what I mean?

I'm so busy.

You're busy.

You just get home and you're in bed and then it's like, what?

You got to get up at 2 o'clock in the morning, you know,

find my gun and then go prowl around the house.

Can you just, just, don't come in unannounced.

Just tell me and I'll be prepared.

Now, let me tell you a couple of other things.

You know, reason why we don't trust anything anymore?

Because people like this can just keep saying things.

Here's Jimmy Gomez.

And

it's fine if you're saying these things, but you have to correct the record.

It has to be corrected.

And media is not correcting it.

Listen to this.

This is a Democratic representative

from California, Jimmy Gomez.

Senator Cut 13.

Here's the thing.

They are not going after criminals.

They're going after anybody that is brown, that looks like me, that can't pass as what they say is a typical American.

Really?

Is that what they're doing?

I didn't know that.

Did you know that, Stu?

That's what they're doing.

They're just picking up anybody that doesn't look like a, quote, typical American, end quote.

I'm not sure what a typical American means, Mr.

Jimmy Gomez, racist.

What does that mean exactly?

What does a typical

American look like?

That's the way they would play it on us.

If I said something like a typical American, what does that look like, Mr.

Beck?

Racist.

I don't know, Jimmy.

What does it look like?

And to say that our law enforcement are picking up people just because they have brown skin is the height of irresponsibility.

What are you trying to do?

You're trying to start a race war.

That's exactly what you're trying to do.

The good news is the typical Americans that are Hispanic, they're not buying into it.

Trump's numbers are growing and growing and growing with the Hispanics because they see right through this crap.

Yeah.

Right through it.

Yeah, the most recent stuff that came out from the election, which, you know, it takes a few months before they put in these really high-level, really good voter data surveys.

And that came out and showed that Trump won Hispanic males.

And those are the people that they would, this guy would tell you, oh, they're the ones getting raided at the, you know, getting arrested because they have brown skin.

He actually won with it, with that group.

And those numbers are going up month after month.

This is Glenn Beck.

Every day, women walk into clinics feeling terrified and alone, out of options.

Their boyfriend's gone, their parents are pressuring them, they're stressed, they're confused, they're facing the biggest decision of their lives without any real support.

Pre-born is changing that.

They're trying really hard.

They offer a free ultrasound to women who are in crisis because when a mom sees her baby, sees him on an ultrasound hears the heartbeat everything changes.

And it's that moment of connection that can be the difference between choosing life and choosing regret.

Pre-born doesn't just show them the truth, they stand by them.

The counseling, the maternity care, the baby supplies, even housing.

Pre-born walks these moms through every step of the way.

And it all starts with a simple, powerful act of love.

If you're a business owner, perhaps you can consider a larger donation for a write-off this year.

Because, you know, we know the government isn't working to save babies.

We have to double down down on that.

A donation of $1,000 or $2,000, even $20,000, go a long, long, long way.

All gifts are tax-deductible and will reach into the eternities.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

It is Friday.

You know,

we've been talking today a little bit about how important education is, that we educate ourselves, that we figure out what is true, where we know what's true and we know what's not, we stop just listening to people that are telling us what we want to hear.

Now, maybe I'm one of those people for you.

I urge you, if I am, don't take everything that I say

as gospel.

You should go and listen to somebody else and listen to somebody else's opinion that disagrees with mine and find out who's telling the truth.

I mean, when I first sobered up, I realized I knew nothing, nothing.

And so I went out and I bought what what I call the Library of a Serial Killer.

It took me a couple of years to do it, about five years to put it together, but it's about 7,000 books.

And

I started with everybody who disagreed with each other.

So, you know, I guess I'm going to go and get Hitler and Jesus

and

then just read both of them and see there are any intersecting lines here.

And you just start at the extremes and then you just keep going in until you and you find

where everyone is saying the same thing on both ends.

You know that's pretty likely to be true.

For instance, if you look at religions, you'll see a lot of religions say exactly the same thing, exactly the same thing.

There are big differences in some religions, but where they intersect, you know positively that's true.

That's universal truth.

But you have to open your mind and expose yourself to other things.

And what's happening is we are all falling into this, and it's happening on our side too.

We're all falling into this trap where we're only listening to our side.

And I think personally that we're better at listening to the other side.

But it's very easy to stop listening to the other side.

But you have to.

And only then

you'll be able to see,

am I right on this?

Should I refocus or

should I rethink anything?

Also, you'll be able to spot propaganda.

Here's Bill Nye, the science guy, on CNN.

Listen to this, cut 15.

Everybody knows you pick up a bucket of water, you know how heavy it is, and you get a lot of water going that fast.

What are we going to do about it is the ancient question, and it would be to stop burning fossil fuels.

When you're in a hole, stop digging, and so on.

But the fossil fuel industry has been very successful in getting organizations like the U.S.

Congress to think that it's really not happening.

I don't even know where to start on that one, Stu.

Wow.

There's a lot of things we can go with.

The Guadalupe River experienced major floods in 1936, 1952, 1972, 1973,

1978, 1987, 1991, and 1997.

Just to name a few.

What do all those things have in common?

They're all

after the invention of the car.

There you go.

That's true.

Of course, you know, there's been all sorts of flooding that has happened through this area, and it happened all the time.

Now, you can question.

All the time.

I mean, honestly, the questions here, the serious questions, the serious questions do not involve a conversation over 0.9 degrees Celsius over a century.

Those are not serious conversations when it comes to this particular situation in Texas.

There are serious conversations to have

when it comes to whether

a siren alert system should have been in place.

Can I ask you, though?

Can I ask you, because we live in a place in Texas, we live in a place where hurricanes, I mean, sorry, tornadoes happen all the time.

And those tornado sirens go off a lot.

And it does stop you and go, wait a minute, what's happening?

But then you also get used to it to where you're like, ah, it's just a tornado war.

And that's when you get sucked up into the tube.

You know what I mean?

Yes.

That's when all of a sudden you and your house are going up like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.

Yeah.

And without fail, the results of a tragedy like this is the person who's like, do I release this alert or not, decides to do it every single time there's even a question of it.

And that, of course, is what leads later on to people ignoring them.

It really is a tough human.

It's a human condition.

It's tough.

Yeah, I mean, I think like...

But at least if there would have been, if there would have been sirens, and look, they've been talking about this for years, and the area decided not to do it.

But if there were sirens up there,

those kids would have been

woken up.

But would you have gotten out in time?

Yeah,

you don't know, right?

At least you'd have a fighting chance, but still.

Yeah, I mean, one of the, one of, it was interesting.

One of the things that they, they basically had a system in place, and there's a bunch of different things they had.

They have these radios, the NOAA radios that can alert you even, you know, in these situations.

But one of the things they had in place was basically like a phone tree that like the

communities, you know, up the river would actually like call down to the people down the river and alert each community because they knew, hey, this is coming.

Like they had, it was that type of system.

And it, you know, of course would work in most circumstances, right?

Like when it doesn't work is when it's, you know, 4.19 in the morning.

I mean, like, there's a million things that could happen here.

I think you could really argue, right?

You know, where we would say, hey, we might ignore these flood zones.

When you have a bunch of buildings in a camp that are in the most dangerous of these flood zones,

you know, that shouldn't be your approach to awarding, right?

Like, there shouldn't be a possibility that this could happen.

And maybe just,

the sirens being maintained by the camp, honestly, would have been a wonderful improvement to this.

Well,

they didn't even have cell service at this camp.

That's why nobody's cell phone went off.

But I mean, those are easy fixes.

Those are easy fixes.

But for Bill and I, the science guy, to go on, and then

all this bull crap all week about how

this administration is cutting all weather service.

It's like, what are you talking about?

Ridiculous.

I mean, and listen, here's Jasmine Crockett making the flood about her.

Listen to this, 16.

My heart is truly heavy for all of these families.

The sad part is, I think that my heart is going to carry a level of weight that will continue to weigh me down as we have to continue

to do our best to survive.

an administration that literally is against us,

an administration that is doing everything, in my mind, to hurt us and not help us.

And it feels like we're fending for ourselves.

Oh, you mean like, you mean like the people, the hurricane victims in North Carolina?

By the way,

nobody was fending for themselves.

It was the most, in fact, Mercury One told me it was the most effective

disaster relief that they have ever seen.

We've been to a lot of disasters and we've been to Florida disasters where they happen,

they fix it quickly.

They said Texas was all on top.

Nobody was fending for themselves on this.

That's the last disaster in the Carolinas.

Jasmine, sweetheart, that's the last time when people were actually fending for themselves.

But you didn't claim that.

You know, the last time they were also defending for themselves when they were in the wildfires of California.

But

you didn't say that then.

You're only saying it now.

Why?

Why?

Don't you dare.

We all know.

Don't you dare criticize my girl.

I love Meesome Jasmine Crockett.

She's fantastic.

As you heard there, that was voice tone six accent C, if you're keeping track on your scorecard at home.

And

I absolutely love her in every way.

She is

like,

she puts AOC to shame with her idiotic nonsense.

She's so

stupid.

And I love

people like this.

That's why

I don't want to mainstream her.

I don't want to.

No, are you kidding me?

She absolutely wishes to do that.

She looked like a genius.

Everybody will go, AOC, thank God you're here talking some common sense.

That honestly could be the comparative problem.

But I think people like AOC and Jasmine Crockett, like we should be rooting for them to be the voices of the Democrat Party because they tend to make the dumbest possible version of left-wing arguments and make them passionately.

And what I love about Jasmine Crockett is so

confidently like there is a and I'm I'll say it right now come back to me in 20 years and tell me if I'm wrong.

There is a 100% chance she will be a panelist on the view.

There is a 100% chance that she is sitting next to Whoopee Goldberg or someone like that in the future.

That's who you're wrong.

I disagree.

I think it's 150% chance.

You think I've undersold it.

Like she'd be the

first panelist.

This like idiotic confidence combined with passion, combined with stupidity.

She's like in the intersection.

It's called the view circle.

She's in the middle of it.

Cars are whizzing by a zillion miles an hour.

I love her.

By the way, she is the ongoing current favorite to be the Democratic nominee for Senate here in Texas, which sets her up, I think, perfectly for a 2028 presidential run.

I mean, Betto did it.

Worked well for him.

So I think I'm excited about the future, Glenn.

These are good good things.

Let's celebrate them.

We are so doomed.

We are so dead.

It makes me go, when's Grok 5 here?

When is Grok 5 just going to take over the world?

Just kill us now, Grok 5.

Because I can't take this anymore.

It's so nuts.

And you're right about her confidence, and that's what bothers me so much.

The

level of ignorance and stupidity coupled with the level of moral righteousness and outrage, I just can't take it.

I'm not strong enough, man.

I'm just not.

I'm just, I'm just a, I'm just a human being.

That's all I am.

I can't do more than what I'm doing right now.

And I don't think I can do any more on the Jasmine Crockett train.

I just, that is just, there's so much more to help.

You don't have a choice.

You're going to be dealing with this for a very long time.

And, you know, the problem, of course, is our society and, you know, social media and everything else incentivizes literally this, right?

Somebody who is a pretty decent communicator, I would suppose.

You know, she's kind of passionate.

She can get on camera.

She knows how to talk to a camera.

She knows she's aware that.

She is as good as that as Lizzo is at looking good.

That's just not

a very nice comment.

And anyway, it's probably.

Are you saying that Lizzo's not the most beautiful woman you've ever seen?

How dare you

because she's black?

No, not at all.

I am saying, though, yes, she's not the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

But

I bet you say that Jenner woman

isn't the most beautiful woman.

I would also say that the Jenner woman is not even a woman, let alone the most beautiful woman that I've ever seen.

But this stuff, you know, just to quickly finish that, it incentivizes this stuff.

So there's always someone dumber and louder around the corner.

Like that,

that's the problem with AOC.

I mean, like, you know, she here she was king of the stupid mountain for all of those years, and now Jasmine Crockett comes in and just knocks her right off the top.

I mean, this is such a fun conversation.

This is a faster race to the bottom.

It really is.

I've never seen a faster race to the bottom than what we're experiencing right now.

All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Relief Factor.

Some mornings you wake up and it feels like your whole body missed the memo.

You know, your knees are talking back, your back won't cooperate, you stretch and something pops that shouldn't.

Pain starts to change things little by little.

You start saying no to things like hikes and travel and evening walks.

And, you know, you're just not sure you can handle it.

And suddenly the life you used to love starts to feel a little smaller.

That's when people start looking for something that works, something real, something like Relief Factor.

That's where it comes in.

It came in for me.

It's a daily supplement developed by doctors to target the root causes of pain, not just mask the symptoms.

Back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee, whatever it is, Relief Factor is helping thousands of people get back the life they love.

Because when pain stops controlling your choices, everything opens up again.

The places you can go, the people you can see.

Why do I sound like I'm reading a Dr.

Seuss book?

If pain is writing your story, maybe it's time to start a new chapter.

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

Visit ReliefFactor.com or call 800 for Relief, 800, the number four relief.

This is

Glenn Beck.

Let's go to Julie in Oklahoma.

Julie, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

Hi.

I just wanted to tell you that my husband and I were invited to the Superman preview last night, so we saw it.

Oh, yeah.

And I did hear the woke comments before we went.

And Glenn, I have ADD too, so I may have totally missed, you know,

stuff flying at me.

But we really enjoyed it.

So I just wanted to let you know that since you were talking about it earlier.

That's great, Julie.

Thank you so much for the phone call.

That's good news.

That's good news.

I hope it's not there.

I mean, frankly, if it's not obvious to you, I don't have that big.

I'm not going to worry about it that much.

Hollywood is Hollywood.

They're going to come out.

We know what their messaging is.

We know it's going to be left-wing messaging, if there's any in there.

If they can make an entertaining movie and not beat me over the head with it, that's

the normal state of affairs in our country.

And I'm used to that.

I can deal with it.

What I don't want is just to be pounded in the face constantly with the left-wing messaging.

And I will say, I'm a little worried about it with Superman,

but

frankly, the preponderance of evidence here makes me think it's not that bad.

as far as the woke stuff goes.

Now, the movie does not seem to be incredibly great, but maybe it has its enjoyable parts.

And, you know, it's a popcorn flick.

It's a Sunday.

You know, it's a summer movie.

And if you can get that out of it and just enjoy

watching

a moment into a fantasy world where

a lot of the things that are going on that are terrible aren't real, well, that's great.

And that's good news.

Another good news here, could we have clip 22?

We have time for this real quick.

Clip 22, if you're traveling this weekend, this is good news for you.

Today, we have started a new no-shoes policy with the Department, the Transportation Security Administration.

TSA will no longer require travelers to remove their shoes when they go through our security checkpoints.

So, there you go, Christy Noam.

I mean, now I will say, I hope the TSA is also considering a requirement of wearing shoes when on the plane.

So, you don't have to take them off in line, but you got to keep them on when you get on the plane.

This is Glenn Beck.
