Welcome back.

It is Tuesday, gang.

Let me tell you, our sponsor, Jace Medical, everybody loves a good sale, but most of them, you know, they're for stuff that might make things a little nicer, a TV cooler, maybe a backyard grill that connects to your phone and tells you when to flip the burgers.

I'm not really sure, but there is one that is different and it is Jace Medical.

They're still running a Memorial Day offer that has nothing to do with lifestyle and everything to do with life-saving.

Their flagship product, the Jace case, is an emergency supply of prescription antibiotics, actual medication prescribed by real doctors, shipped right to your door.

And now, for a limited time, you can still add ivermectin to that case for just a dollar.

Look, you'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

If you have the Jace case and you have a family, you're taking $50 off the second case or even the kid case because you shouldn't just stop with one person.

Why wait for the pharmacies to be empty?

Why wait in the middle of the night when you're trying to find an open one?

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

Hey, I got good news for you.

It's Tuesday.

Monday.

It's Tuesday,

a day after Memorial Day, and there's a lot to talk about.

The president does not like what Vladimir Putin is doing right now.

He is bombing Kyiv and other places in Ukraine.

President said he's gone crazy.

We don't know how to deal with him now.

And in the Middle East,

Donald Trump is saying, give peace a chance to Benjamin

Yahoo, and he's not really happy about that as well.

So where are we headed?

Well, let's go back one day to Memorial Day.

We'll do that in 60 seconds.

First, if you've ever stood in a grocery store staring at a pack of meat and you realize you have no idea where that came from, I mean, it says beef and American product, but it's not.

Was that cow really raised in Montana or Malaysia?

Did that chicken grow up in, you know, on a family farm or, you know, off the coast of someplace with a flag you don't really recognize?

Good Ranchers is different.

Every single cut they sell comes right here from America.

And when they say American meat, they mean it.

It's delicious.

It's the kind you serve with your friends with pride or just, you know, stand at the stove eating in secret before anybody gets home.

They're working exclusively with the farmers and ranchers of America, helping them stay afloat in these difficult times.

Right now, when you subscribe, they're offering free meat for life.

So yesterday on Memorial Day, I wrote something for X.

Here's what I wrote.

You and I, we live in the shelter of sacrifices neither of us made.

We walk the streets paved by men who never came home.

We build our dreams atop the unmarked soil of Normandy, Iwo Jima, Fallujah, and a thousand other nameless fields far from here and long forgotten by many, if not most.

But not by you, not today, because Memorial Day is not a three-day weekend.

It's not a sale.

It's not the start of summer.

It's a sacred pause.

It is the moment America holds its breath and listens to the echo of that last bugle call, the one that plays not for victory, but for the fallen.

We must remember.

Not because it's sentimental, but because forgetting is dangerous.

Remembering saves the sacred from slipping into the vacuum of oblivion.

I heard that at church the other day.

I thought that was an amazing phrase.

Remembering saves the sacred from slipping into the vacuum of oblivion.

So what is sacred?

Honor, courage, brotherhood, the terrible, the beautiful gift of life laid down, not taken, but given, so others could live in peace.

They were farm boys,

some of them sons of sharecroppers, sons of immigrants, sons of slaves.

Some died in money trenches, some in burning skies, some in the silence of classified operations whose heroism will never fully be known this side of heaven.

But they didn't die for a party.

They didn't die for a president.

They really kind of died for each other and for the idea that freedom is is worth protecting, even when it costs everything.

But today it's our turn, not to match their sacrifice, but to be worthy of it, by standing for truth in an age of lies, by cherishing the Constitution when it's inconvenient, by raising children who know what liberty is.

It's not a birthright, it's a blood-bought inheritance.

Because the moment we forget, we begin to lose everything they died to preserve.

So now that the cookouts are done and the flags are folded, I ask you to take just one moment, one moment alone, if you can, and whisper, thank you, to somebody you've never met.

A name etched in granite, a memory carried by a mother, a story too painful for a brother to tell,

but real all the same.

Because when we remember the fallen, we keep their flame alive, and that flame, however faint, is the light that guides America home.

Remembering saves the sacred from slipping into the vacuum of oblivion.

So remember and resolve,

because we are the stewards now.

I posted that yesterday, and as I was home,

I

checked the Twitter feed.

And I saw some of the comments.

What I saw in the response is,

quite honestly, it was shocking to me in many ways.

But it's clear there is something much, much deeper going on just beneath the surface of our country.

I wrote those words about Memorial Day, about remembering the fallen, because I believe remembering saves the sacred from slipping into the vacuum of oblivion.

If we don't remember, that's one of the most used words in the Bible.

You know that?

Remember.

Remember, remember, remember.

And what do all the problems come from?

Not remembering.

But after posting it, I started reading the comments.

And

I need to speak to the comments.

You read them yourself.

Some of them are very ugly.

And they come from all sides.

So I want to speak to them, but not in defense, not with rebuttal, but something else.

Because what I saw in the replies

to my post yesterday was not disagreement.

It was fear and pain, bitterness and anger, deep distrust.

And whether you agree with me or not, politically, whether you believe my motives are pure, you think I'm part of the problem, I need you to know,

I, for one, see it.

I hear it, and I don't dismiss it.

Some people yesterday in response wrote about about the lives lost in wars you believe were unjust.

Others called out the hypocrisy witnessed in leadership, leaders who wrapped themselves in the flag and then abandoned the people.

Some of them said that I was one of those people.

Some just cried out, where is the honor where my brother died?

When my community was forgotten, where's the honor in that?

To all of that, I say, you're right.

You're right to feel that.

You're right to question that.

But I want to ask you something, and this is one of the hardest lessons I ever learned

because I really didn't understand.

It took me a long time to really come to the conclusion.

And I've told it before, it's about Winston Churchill.

Winston Churchill was a hero in the West.

But he was a nightmare monster over in India.

And after I read

a biography on Winston Churchill in India, I thought, well, wait, wait, wait, this isn't the same guy, but it is the same guy.

He even admits it.

Late in his life, he says, yes, I was that guy.

So I wondered, how is he?

Is he a good guy or is he a bad guy?

And the answer is, yes.

Just like everything.

Are you a good person or a bad person?

The answer is, yes, you're both.

But which is winning right now?

Are you getting better or are you getting worse?

Can we hold grief and gratitude in the same hand?

Yes.

Can we mourn the wrongs and still honor the brave?

The answer is yes.

Can we be angry at how some leaders have used war and still fall silent at the grave of a 19-year-old kid who ran toward the gunfire for the man next to him?

Yes.

you see i don't i don't glorify war i don't think i ever have i despise it and i despise it because honestly i i think i'm a coward i don't think i would be able to do it

I despise the politics that lead us there.

I'm worried about the politics, and we're going to talk about it later today, that I think are leading us there again.

The world wants war.

I don't.

You don't.

Nobody does.

Except it seems the leaders of the world.

And I've changed my mind on several things over the years, and I've apologized for being wrong before, and I'll do it again because I'm going to be wrong again.

And you do it because growth is painful,

but it's what truth demands.

If we lose the ability to honor selflessness,

Even when it's tangled in the messiness of human failure, we risk becoming so hardened, so cynical, that we forget what goodness even looks like.

Memorial Day used to be simple, it seems.

I don't know if I'm remembering that, you know, fondly, rose-colored glasses, but it's not the way it is now.

It doesn't.

It seems different.

Not because our soldiers are complicated.

They were clear in their duty, but because we are.

And our history is complicated.

But here's the one thing I do know.

The men and women who died,

they didn't do it for likes.

They didn't do it for presidents.

They didn't do it for profit.

I hear this from soldiers all the time.

They did it for one another.

And sometimes, yeah, they did it for the ideal this country still hasn't lived up to, but still can.

But to those of you who found yesterday maddening, left, right,

apolitical I get it

but may I ask just for a moment not that you agree not that you salute not that you stand but you would consider this

what if remembering isn't submission what if remembering

is resistance

resistance to apathy resistance for forgetting what sacrifices should mean, resistance to letting the story of America America be written only by the powerful and the corrupt.

When we remember the fallen, we don't worship war,

we grieve cost,

and maybe, just maybe, that grief is the first honest step back toward one another.

I couldn't start the show after reading those comments yesterday

without thanking people, thanking you for speaking out, even if you blasted me and tore me apart.

Even in disagreement and in distrust, we have to

thank each other for speaking out.

Because that is one of the principles that was worth fighting for.

And we're all hurting.

We're all hurting in different ways, profoundly different ways.

But maybe this is how healing begins.

Not by pretending we all see the same thing,

but

by being willing to

look at it

in the garish light of day, in the ugliness of it, look at it together.

Even if we don't see exactly the same thing, we don't have to agree on everything, but we do have to remember.

And if we can just remember the fallen,

maybe, just maybe, in doing that, we remember something else.

That we actually belong to one another.

Maybe that's actually the sacred we're supposed to remember.

That we all belong to one another.

And that is worth remembering.

And that is worth keeping.

Back in just a second.

First, let me tell you about the Berna launcher.

If you ever end up in a situation where you have to defend yourself, you're ready, you know,

you're ready to go.

Yeah.

Are you really?

I mean, things happen so fast and there's fumbling.

What is going on?

Misfires.

How does this thing work again?

That's why I'm a fan of the Berna Compact Launcher.

It's small enough to

carry around anywhere in a purse, a glove box, tucked inside a jacket, but it's also powerful enough to stop a threat in its tracks.

It fires Connecticut and tear gas rounds using CO2 cartridges, which is a fancy way of saying you get to go home safe and the attacker gets to go to jail because the Burna Compact Launcher is non-lethal.

That means you don't need a permit.

It's legal to carry in all 50 states.

And if you're thinking, well, I got a firearm already, that's great.

But think of this as maybe a first option, not your last resort.

Go to Burna.com, get 10% off site-wide for the Memorial Day sale, which ends today, or use their retail store locator to find a location nearest you.

And they offer live demonstrations, including sportsmen's warehouse stores.

So, why is this important

that we don't react to one another online

the way so many people did?

Let me bring you a couple of stories today.

One from Liverpool that happened over the weekend.

A driver of a gray van just ran into a whole bunch of people on the side of the street.

It was a parade for Liverpool's football clubs, their premier league victory that happened on Monday.

And the driver just came in to a crowd of parade goers and

thousands of soccer fans and just rammed the vehicle through the crowded street, knocking down, running over pedestrians.

He was a 53-year-old British man from the Liverpool area.

Now,

I don't know what this guy was.

I don't know if this guy was

crazy, angry.

I don't know.

I have no idea.

But I don't want to talk to you about that.

I don't want to talk to you about the guy who was actually

running the people over.

I want to talk to you about what happened after.

There's a video where

they arrest the driver.

They pull him out and they arrest him.

And they can't keep the crowds back.

And that's because

this white guy with a bunch of other white guys arresting him

have a horde of white guys around them and everybody's angry.

This was the Bubba effect.

The police barely held on to the situation.

Because they wanted justice to be done.

The police did.

They wanted justice to be done.

And the people on the streets probably didn't believe justice would be done.

Why?

Because justice doesn't seem to be done anymore.

Especially if you're over in England.

Especially if there was a religious meaning and it wasn't a Christian religious meaning.

And the people wanted to tear him apart.

These are the English that are doing this.

Now, what happened last week?

Last week, I told you about the guy who went in or, you know, was waiting outside of a fundraiser to figure out how they could help people of

Gaza.

These two Jewish people come out of that fundraiser and they're shot to death by some crazy guy.

Now,

We find out that his father was a guest during the president's joint speech to Congress.

But

he wasn't a guest of Donald Trump.

Instead, he was a guest of Congressman Jesus

Garcia.

This guy was calling for a ceasefire with Hamas on October 7th.

As they were raping and killing and setting people on fire, he was out saying, Israel, don't do anything about it.

I mean, it's crazy.

It's crazy.

Now,

the shooter's dad is a disabled Army veteran.

He's an employee at Edward Hines Jr.

Veterans Administrative Hospital in Illinois.

There is something going on

with veterans

in the VA.

And it's bad.

A lot of people wrote to me, you know, what have you ever done for veterans?

I've done nothing.

Nothing is the honest truth.

Nothing.

I mean, I can talk a good game.

I can channel money.

I can do a lot of different things.

But really,

When it comes right down to it, what have I spent my time on?

I've never volunteered at a VA hospital.

I've never tried to rewrite a bill,

anything of real importance.

So you're right about that.

But does that make me your enemy?

Because honestly, there are a lot of things that I care deeply about.

And I could say to you, what have you done?

What have you done?

And most likely you could say, well, I've donated or I prayed about it or whatever.

You're not my enemy, and I'm not yours.

Things are being ratcheted up.

And it's being ratcheted up by, honestly, enemies of our republic, enemies of America, enemies of us being friends, co-workers, people that don't have to vote the same, don't even have to agree with one another.

But we can live next to one another and we can defend one another.

Now, for those who say nothing's being done for the VA, let me give you some good news.

I'll do that right after this.

This is Glenn Beck.

NMLS 182334, NMLS ConsumerAccess.org.

APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

I want you to consider something for just a second.

Debt is not just a waste of money.

It's a waste of time.

Because every hour you spend stressing over bills, making minimum payments, or figuring out which card to float this month, that's not time you're spending on the stuff that actually matters.

You know this.

But what are you going to do?

Well, you could be spending that time with your family, maybe even taking a vacation with them that you don't spend hours beating yourself up about after because you can't really afford it.

Listen, if you're a homeowner, there is a way to dig yourself out from underneath that debt in ways you may never have considered.

American Financing, they can help you consolidate high-interest debt, credit cards, even car loans, personal loans.

By using the equity you might already have in your home.

And you can pay off all of the bad debt, roll it into a mortgage with a much, much, much lower rate, and suddenly you're saving $800 to $1,000 a month.

You're getting your time back, way less worry, fewer payments, and

in general, more room to breathe.

Just make that phone call to AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

So, yesterday was Memorial Day,

where we remembered the sacrifice of so many millions that have given their life for our lives, for our freedoms, for our children's freedom, for the life we live every day.

And boy, when you say it that way, you kind of like, oh, geez, am I living worthy of that at all?

But if you did spend any time yesterday remembering, you're halfway there because remembering is only half of it.

It has to become action in our lives because we've all heard the stories.

We probably know somebody who at least knows a soldier that killed themselves.

Many of us, unfortunately, know soldiers that have killed themselves.

And if you are a soldier, you count them on more than one hand, sometimes more than two hands.

And we've heard the stories.

So many people in this audience have lived those stories.

And the ones that come home, the veterans that wait months and months and months just to see a doctor, and the paperwork is lost, and the diagnosis is delayed, and the despair is rising.

It's a national disgrace how we treat our soldiers.

It really is.

Imagine this.

You served your country in Iraq or Afghanistan.

You watch all your buddies fall.

You carry that that weight home.

You finally walk through the doors of a VA hospital only to find another battlefield, this time one of bureaucracy.

We know that's the reality.

And I don't say it to bring us down because there is hope at the end of the tunnel here.

There is some good news because some things are changing, and I believe everybody needs to hear this.

This year, under the leadership of the VA Secretary Doug Collins, the Department of Veterans Veterans Affairs has taken real, measurable action to make things better.

Ten new VA medical facilities are opening across the country, from Texas to Montana, New York to Virginia.

And yes, for those of you up in New Hampshire, yours is next.

And these aren't just buildings.

These are lifelines if...

We don't just concentrate on the building.

They are going to be places where the wait is shorter, the care is closer, the promise finally begins to match the sacrifice.

You know, we don't deprogram anybody.

We program them to go to war.

We don't deprogram them when they come home.

That's wrong.

All we do is we give them drugs.

That's wrong.

You know, since January, the VA

has a huge backlog.

But since Trump got into office, the VA has cut the case backlog by 25%.

How?

Well, by doing something radical.

First, they brought employees back into the office.

They fostered the culture of effort, of accountability.

They empowered real human beings, not automated systems, to actually do the job that they were hired to.

I mean, how can we have such great hospitals and then the VA that serves our veterans, our heroes, be so horrible?

It's because we don't in government usually demand results, but now we do.

And I want you to know: this is not about praising any politician or defending any department.

This is about you.

This is about those who suffer every day,

it's about those who have lost a loved one because of the incompetence.

It's about them, the men and women who bore the battle and now bear the scars.

If you're a veteran and you happen to be listening right now,

I want you to know you're not forgotten.

We do hold you in high regard.

Many of us just don't know how to help.

We say thank you for your service because we don't know what else to do.

And even then we feel stupid saying it.

You weren't forgotten yesterday, but you're not forgotten today.

You're not forgotten any day.

You may feel like the system has turned its back,

but don't confuse the system

with your fellow Americans.

You have scars that most of us can't see, and because you're a veteran,

you just don't talk about them.

But hear me, we see you, we hear you,

and we still believe in what you gave us.

And to the rest of us,

like me who never wore the uniform,

but am

grateful

and probably mainly undeserving to live under the banner of freedom it defends.

Our responsibility is clear.

If we truly honor the dead, we have to serve the living.

We must demand better care for our veterans.

We must insist that every promise to them that was made is kept.

We have to refuse to let this progress stall.

Opening new hospitals is only the beginning.

What happens in those hospitals is what makes the difference.

Our soldiers, I mean, they didn't want, I mean, some did, I guess, want to go into war, but

I know a lot of soldiers that were like, you know, not itching for the war.

But they were in it.

We shouldn't wait for them.

We shouldn't make them wait for their care.

So, yesterday, flags and fireworks and hot dogs.

But today should be the beginning of a better system, a beginning of a renewed promise, a beginning of real service to those who gave real service and have given everything.

Yesterday, we remember the fallen.

Today, we need to serve the living.

Speaking of those who have passed on, Phil Robertson died over the weekend.

Phil was, of course,

a friend and a member of the Blaze team for years, and

just loved him.

Just absolutely loved him.

I'm not a fan of reality TV, so I never really watched Duck Dynasty until I traveled the country and I went across the country.

I was driving across the country, and every single gas station I was in, every truck stop I was in to get gas, they had like a whole section of of Duck Dynasty stuff.

And I'm like, who are these Duck Dynasty people?

And then I watched and I realized why it was so big.

Not only was it real,

and these guys were

unbelievably real.

I think Phil Robertson was the beginning of the,

I don't know,

the beginning of a new Jesus movement.

I mean, he was the first guy that I heard that was brave enough to end every single show on national television with a prayer.

And that was, I think that was the deal.

I think we won't do it unless you say that we can end with a prayer every time.

Who does that?

One of the bravest things I've ever seen is the movie that he made about himself.

It did not make him look good

at all.

Just showed

who he had allowed himself to be and

who he had become through Christ.

So our thoughts are with Phil.

Do we happen to have that montage?

Can we play the Phil?

Here's a montage of some of the moments with Phil Robertson.

There's a lot of people who are afraid.

Is it possible the Lord is not their refuge and their fortress and their trust is not in him?

They're trying to make it without God.

During this

coronavirus thing,

I've seen more fear

in the ungodly, way more than I have from the godly.

I will be with him or her in trouble.

I'll deliver them and honor them

with long life.

I will satisfy them.

I'll show them my salvation.

All that's required of you is love God and love your neighbor.

And this country sorely needs it.

I'm just watching how they're operating in the pandemic.

They're scared to death.

No faith in the resurrection.

That's why they're afraid.

We're back to Jesus and His death for us.

Took away all of our mistakes, all of our sins.

Beautiful in a tomb, raised from the dead.

It's all we got.

It's all we got.

Faith, hope,

and love.

The greatest of those

is love for God and your fellow man.

Lord knows

we need that.

Look, we only live just a short period of time.

So don't fear

plagues, pandemics, pestilence, and all that.

Practice hygiene.

I do all that.

Common sense, you say.

But as far as shutting down

your work your life your freedom

your pursuit of happiness don't set that aside ever

hold on to those things

I've seen this one come

now it's time to break out and let's move on

it killed some of us But we're all going to die.

It's just a question of when.

Jesus came to deliver you from your sin and from your physical death.

He's conquered

death.

He too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is the devil.

and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

These ungodly people are scared to death of dying.

And then they all die.

We have a hope beyond the grave.

So take it all in stride.

Let's get back to work.

Well done, good and faithful servant, Phil Robertson.

Back in just a minute.

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

There are headlines we hoped we'd never see again from Israel.

Jewish schools under attack, synagogues defaced, threats made.

And if that doesn't shake you, it should.

History has shown us that where this kind of hate leads is no place good.

And if you stay silent now,

we're not just witnessing it, we're allowing it to happen.

It's why I want you to know about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

IFCJ isn't just contemning anti-Semitism, they're fighting it head-on.

And they're providing food to families in fear, building bomb shelters to protect children, supporting Holocaust survivors who are now enduring a new wave of hatred.

Boy, wouldn't you?

How your hope in humanity must be shattered if you lived through it once and you're now seeing it again.

They don't wait for a crisis.

They're working every day to make sure that there is help before it is needed.

Your gift of only $45 will help support their life-saving work by helping provide food, shelter, and so much more.

The Bible says, I will bless those who bless you.

Support IFCJ.

It's a spiritual stand.

It's showing up for God's people when it counts.

Please call 800, I'm sorry, 888-488-IFCJ.

That's 888-488-4325 or go to ifcj.org.

That's every dollar that will help.

Don't wait.

Be the difference.

Visit ifcj.org or call 888-488-IFCJ.

IFCJ.org.

History has got a warning label.

And if we don't read it, we'll live it.

Stay sharp, friends.

Glenn Beck returns in a gif.

Dating has changed quite a bit.

So glad I'm out of that world, honestly.

It's got to be hard to do unless you know what you're doing, I suppose.

The changes haven't necessarily been for the better because you could swipe and you can scroll and you can make small talk with strangers who probably don't seem to have much in common with you at all.

And eventually you start to wonder, is this really the best way to find someone worth building a life with?

That's where Selective Search comes in.

This isn't an app, it's a high-end, personalized service designed for people who are serious about finding something real.

Selective Search works by combining proven executive search strategies with something that's been lost in the world of online dating, humans.

Yeah, that's apparently important.

Hey, Stu, did you see the

video of Macron being hit in the face by his wife?

I did see that video, yes.

What do you make of that?

I mean, it's hard to know what it was, right?

It didn't look good.

It looked like they were in the middle of an argument, and that he gets pushed in the face by his wife.

And immediately he realizes he's in front of the open door.

So he looks at the cameras kind of in an embarrassing way.

I mean,

it's two hands, and then

he gets pushed by two hands and then waves to the cameras.

I mean, it doesn't look like he thinks it's hilarious.

They're trying to say, oh, we were just playing around.

Didn't look like.

Now, watch, he's at the top of the stairs.

Look at him offer his arm.

and she does not take it as they walk down the stairs.

No,

yeah, they're not happy.

They're not happy.

Um, do you know, you know, you've heard the rumor that she's a man, man?

I mean, I guess I've heard that, I've heard the rumor.

I don't believe that at all, that she's a man, but uh, I think that I think McCron himself might have started that rumor because the truth is even worse.

When he was 15 years old,

she was his teacher

and

she fell in love.

She was 39 years old.

She's almost 40.

He's 15.

She falls in love with him.

He falls in love with her.

They

begin fooling around.

She's a married mother of three.

She has three children.

Again, she's almost 40.

He's 15.

The parents find out.

Macron's parents find out.

They're livid, livid.

School does nothing, you know, French or French, and so they do nothing.

They transfer him out to another school.

And, you know, he comes back when he's 17 and he's like, I will find you and we will be merry forever.

And

they get married.

And when his parents say, leave our 15-year-old, or that time, 16-year-old son alone, she says, well, I cannot promise anything because he is so hot.

My gosh, I would start the rumor that he was a man too.

I mean, she's a monster.

This is Glenn Beck.

You ever notice how most people don't think about self-defense until something on the news reminds them that they should have?

There's that moment where their heart starts racing and they realize if that had been me, I wouldn't have been ready.

This is

the Glenn Beck Program.

Hello, America.

In case you've forgotten, it's Tuesday.

We got a great program coming up for you.

You know, not today, but probably sometime this week.

But today, we're going to spend some time talking about the big, beautiful bills.

Stu posted something on social media this weekend that I thought was amazing.

What the left is saying about it.

But the truth about it is much more important.

And we'll get to that here in just a second.

First, let me tell you about Patriot Moldo.

Every month, you pay your cell phone bill.

Just one of those things that you do, auto-pay, deducted, you know, nothing.

It's all done.

But if you ever stop to think about what that money supports with all of of the wireless companies, you're paying for a service, right?

But in many cases, you're also funding agendas that you never agreed to.

Political lobbying, social movements, campaigns that go against your values and sometimes even your rights.

It's not always obvious, but it is there.

Patriot Mobile is a completely different kind of mobile phone company.

They don't just provide reliable wireless service on the same cell towers as the big guys.

They put your money to work for good.

Every single month, a portion of your bill goes to support pro-life organizations and veterans, first responders, and programs that defend religious freedom and the Constitution.

They're America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company, and they're competing against those companies who are funding the destruction of the country that you love.

This is what the parallel economy looks like.

This is

that in action.

So make the switch today.

Go to patreonmobile.com/slash Beck or call 972 Patriot.

972 Patriot.

Make sure you use the promo code Beck to to free monthly.

It's a bill, prepare yourself for what is coming.

If the Senate passes the one big beautiful bill and Trump signs it, that's it.

It becomes law, and here's what that really means.

Okay.

Now, this is what the left is saying, what it really means.

What it really means, he can delay or cancel elections legally.

Did you know that?

He can ignore the Supreme Court rulings for a year or more.

He can fire government workers for political disloyalty.

Judges can't afford their own, enforce their own orders.

Protests can be traced and criminalized.

LGBTQ rights, education, healthcare, and media gutted.

Your VPN now going to be tracked.

Your vote suppressed.

Your speech flagged.

This is unbelievable.

And anybody who shares stuff like this, you are working for the enemy of the state.

You are, whether that is China, Russia, Satan,

I don't know who it is, but you are not doing anything good.

And,

you know, I know it's hard.

We're going to get into something

next hour about how hard it's becoming to know what's real and what's not.

But that is just ridiculous.

If you read that and you thought that was truly in the bill, you're out of your mind.

You're out of your mind.

Here's what's really important about the big beautiful bill.

The 17th BRICS Summit is scheduled to take place on July 6th and 7th.

You know, a lot of places will tell you what is going on or what happened.

I really like to focus on what's coming next because I think that's important to prepare you and prepare myself for what is next.

There is something very significant on the horizon.

The BRICS nations, which is Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, they are convening in Rio in July, and they've expanded their ranks.

Now, countries like Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, and the UAE.

And they represent nearly half of the world's population and a substantial portion of the world's GDP.

And their agenda now is to challenge the dominance of the U.S.

dollar in international trade.

China and Russia are at the forefront of this, advocating for a new financial system backed by gold and facilitated through blockchain technology.

And the idea is to create a parallel economic universe where the dollar is not the default currency.

That leaves the whole world against us in Europe, and Europe is a shell.

We cannot lose the dollar reserve currency status.

If we do, we can become a Venezuela overnight.

Now,

it's not completely unified with BRICS.

Countries like India and Brazil have said,

we've got some concerns here.

Brazil's central bank director noted that BRICS nations are unlikely to amass enough assets on their own currencies to rival the U.S.

dollar's dominance in the next decade.

So they're focusing now on interlinking payment systems and exploring blockchain integration.

Now, the movement is gaining traction, and the dollar's dominance allows the U.S.

to run the deficits that we do, impose sanctions, maintain a certain standard of living.

This is why we went off the gold standard in the first place.

We wanted a higher standard of living, and there wasn't enough gold in the world to be able to provide all of that.

So, we started borrowing money.

So, what does this mean?

It is really important that you stay well ahead of the curve and you look at things like the big, beautiful bill and the $5 trillion

that they're now going to move the debt ceiling up and

add another possibly $5 trillion to our debt.

This

cannot continue.

I'm not for the raising of the debt ceiling this time, but I don't think we can raise it another time.

You have to be aware of everything that is going on.

The so-called big beautiful bill,

I mean, it sounds like a used car ad, doesn't it?

Big beautiful bill.

I mean.

If this is the best we can offer,

and not from the White House, but from Congress.

On both sides, a massive omnibus package stuffed with over $1.7 trillion in new spending passed under the illusion of fiscal responsibility.

We've crossed a line and I don't know if there's a way to get back.

They're claiming there are cuts in there, and there are $1.7 trillion of cuts, but not really, because Congress has to pass another bill to actually make those cuts actually happen.

They say it reduces the deficit.

It rains in waste.

Yeah.

But the math doesn't hold, especially if Congress doesn't do anything.

Because the cuts, nearly all of of them, are phantom, either reductions to imaginary future growth or pulling forward revenue that's already baked in.

I mean, this is the way Washington operates.

Now, the president is trying to get.

I saved us $400 this year by agreeing not to buy a yacht in 2029.

What?

What?

No sane person manages money this way.

Our government has for decades.

This is the way they've done it since the 70s.

And here's the punchline.

If the Fed starts to cut interest rates,

they'll do it in an attempt to keep this Frankenstein monster of an economy alive.

That means yields on the U.S.

Treasury bonds, our lifeblood, are rising.

That means

we have to pay more interest to those who are lending us money.

The taxpayer is in the opposite position that you are in normally with the bank.

Normally, you want to borrow money and then you have to go to the bank and the bank is like, well, a lot of people want to borrow money and it's kind of a tight time right now.

So we're going to jack your interest rates.

Or in this case, if you want to be apples to apples, you have really bad credit and so we're going to have to charge you an interest rate.

But I saw that it was, you know, 4% APR.

And you're like, yeah, yeah, but that's for somebody with a good credit score.

You have a miserable credit score.

So we're going to charge you 12% interest.

That's what's happening to the country.

We have horrible, horrible credit.

And so the rest of the world is saying, I'm not going to buy your bonds at 4%

interest.

I need something better than that.

Basically, what's happening is the market is saying, we don't believe you anymore.

And we, the taxpayers, are the ones that have to cough up the interest.

When they say, we have to just service the debt, you have to translate that into your mind as that is you having to come up with more tax dollars to pay just the interest

because nobody believed us because we didn't have good credit.

Why?

Because they're setting the whole house on fire.

Now, this is not just you know, our enemies, not just BRICS.

That's our own investors, our own retirees, our own future buyers of U.S.

debt.

They're watching this circus and they're starting to walk away because debt at this scale without structural reform means one of two things.

You either default or you inflate your way out of it.

Either way, Americans and the dollar on their knees.

Now here's the other layer.

Nobody's talking about this either.

When countries like Saudi Arabia, a friend, or China starts selling off treasuries or even just stop buying them, we have to find new buyers.

And when we can't,

who buys it?

Because we can't stop the spending, right?

The cupboard is bare.

We can't cut anything.

So who buys it?

The Fed.

The Federal Reserve becomes the buyer of last resort.

And that's what happened during COVID.

That's what happens in Banana Republic.

And it's happening yet again.

Now, who holds all that debt?

You say, well, the Fed holds all that debt.

Yeah, well, at some point, they're going to demand that it's paid one way or another.

So what does that mean?

That means the big banks own everything.

I am disgusted by our House and our Senate.

Because at least nobody's even telling the truth on this.

Nobody in Congress is actually.

You've got

what?

Thomas Massey, Rand Paul, they're the ones ringing the bell, standing pretty much alone, saying

this is devastating.

Now, I understand we have to compromise, we have to move forward, we have to negotiate, we have to get things done.

And I think that's what Donald Trump is doing, and I think that's what some Democrats are doing.

Or sorry, some Republicans are doing.

They're just saying, look, we've got to move ahead.

If we don't have the tax cuts, this whole thing falls apart.

We have to have those.

But

will it work work without Congress doing anything else?

Now, this is the part of the story where somebody usually yells, do something.

But here's the truth.

You can, but not in Washington.

Not yet.

Not with this government.

Not with these Republicans.

But you can start in your home.

You can get out of debt.

I know.

You can diversify.

You can build resilience financially, mentally, spiritually, really important.

You can create small systems that work local commerce, local food, local relationships.

You can pressure the people who still claim to represent you to take real risks, telling real truth, stop selling out the next generation.

Those are the things that have to happen.

You know, I'll leave you with this thought on this.

When Rome fell, it wasn't because the barbarians were smarter,

it was that Rome lost the will to defend itself and discipline itself.

Hello.

Have we lost the will to discipline ourselves and discipline our government?

Yeah, we have.

Our actions don't make any difference, but they do.

Well, I don't pay attention to politics.

Well, you should.

We have lost the will to discipline ourselves and to do the right thing.

We've also, we're on the verge of losing the will to defend ourselves.

You see that nobody over in England is going to defend England anymore.

You see the latest polls on, you know,

Gen Xers and how they feel about England.

They don't feel like it's worth defending at all.

And you know what?

I don't, the way it's being run, I don't know if it is.

I don't, honestly, I don't know if Europe is worth defending at this point.

Its history is worth defending,

but not what they're doing right now.

It's hollowed out,

and that's what happened to Rome.

It hollowed itself out while still celebrating its own magnificence.

It handed out breads and circuses

while

its money was being debased and its people were being numbed.

You can't fake sound money.

You can't print trust.

That has to be earned.

This isn't the end yet,

but you better start living like it's the beginning of the end that's already behind you.

Because we are on a knife's edge.

I don't know.

Did you see, Stu, all of the war talk this weekend?

What did you make of that?

Well, hang on.

Let me get your answer here in 60 seconds.

First, let me take you to real estate agents I trust.

Look, I'm all for doing things yourself.

Change your own oil, sure.

Build a tree house for the kids.

Go for it.

Smoke your own brisket.

I mean, you're speaking my language there.

But selling your house without a real estate agent, that's not the kind of thing that you want to, you know, DIY.

Because I'm saving money.

It usually turns into a long, expensive, stress-fueled circus.

You've got strangers snooping through your medicine cabinet.

You got a lowball offer from people who think charming fixer-upper means termites included.

And somewhere in the middle of filling out all those 12 forms that you've never ever seen before, you start to think, you know, maybe this is why people hire real estate agents.

But not just any agent.

You need one who's actually been vetted, who knows the market, who knows the best practices, who has a track record of success.

Where do you find that person?

Well, this is why I created realestate agentsitrust.com.

It's a free service that connects you with the right agent in your area.

We have about, I think about 3,000 or 4,000 agents.

We've done billions of dollars of closings now in the last few years.

And

we don't take more agents.

I mean, we've got a waiting list.

I think it's up around 10,000 now.

We don't take more because we have to be able to manage.

We have to be able to see and have transparency and make sure that the agents we're recommending to you are actually doing the job every single time.

You deserve to have the job done right.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

It's a free service to you.

I don't charge you anything for this service.

You just go.

We'll recommend the right agent in your area.

10 seconds, station ID.

So what is happening with Ukraine?

Did you see the president's response on Vladimir Putin this weekend?

He did.

He was very highly critical of Putin and what he's doing.

Very unusual for Donald Trump.

Very unusual.

He has been critical, to be fair, of Putin from time to time.

Not like that.

I would say not like that.

Yeah, you're right.

I think, you know, he said he's, you know, he basically said he went crazy and what is he doing?

And I think like, you know, of course he knows,

you know, I think a lot about what Putin is doing.

And you have to take every single thing Donald Trump says about this situation with a grain of salt and that he's really, it's not really for us to consume.

It's a message sent to Putin,

not to us.

And so, you know, again, like when he, you know, people were making fun of him because he's like, he's like, oh, Vladimir Putin, I can't believe Vladimir would do something like this.

This doesn't seem like the Vladimir Putin I know.

And that's the way it kind of came off.

But that's not how he's not saying that to us.

He knows who Vladimir Putin is.

He's expressing this because he wants Vladimir Putin to think of him as a friend.

He wants him to think of him that way so that he will move.

But I do think he's losing grasp of that potential vision.

It doesn't seem like Putin actually wants this peace that he claims to.

Yeah, it is.

It's strange.

You know, Donald Trump, you know, anybody who's like, he's a friend of Vladimir Putin, he's just going to give everything to Vladimir Putin.

You'll notice he hasn't.

You'll notice he hasn't.

We told you from the beginning, this is a negotiation, and the negotiations don't seem to be going well.

And if Donald Trump can't bring this to a conclusion, I don't know who can.

but

Putin was bombing cities in Ukraine.

He's already got 20% of Ukraine.

He's demanding that he gets to keep everything he's occupied, and he's getting worse.

He's becoming more aggressive.

Meanwhile,

there was a tough, but I think a good conversation between Benjamin Netanyahu and his team and Donald Trump and our team.

And

the spokesperson for Netanyahu said that

they've never attended a meeting that was more frank and

clear than that meeting.

And apparently, Netanyahu is like, we're going to bomb Iran.

And Trump keeps saying, hold on, wait.

We're negotiating with him.

I think I can get a deal done.

So again, is he a warmonger?

He, again, Now,

he's all in for Israel.

He'll do whatever Israel tells him.

He's saying, wait, do not do that.

I think we can make a deal.

Israel does not want a deal.

I honestly don't believe in any deal with Iran, but let's see what he can pull off.

But they don't want to deal with Iran.

And yet,

I thought he was just in bed with the Zionist masters over in Israel.

I mean, this weekend was quite astounding if you cared to have an open mind,

because

things are changing on the ground, and Donald Trump is revealing what he's actually doing on the ground in Israel.

And I don't know,

things look like just a march towards war, doesn't it?

Yeah, and I think, you know, I think the more hawkish in the audience might say, yeah, this is obvious, right?

Like we knew Putin was who he was.

We knew Iran was who they were.

And you can sit here and try to negotiate with them all you want, and this is going to be the outcome.

But that being said, even if that's true, you still try to go as far as you can with diplomacy.

You try to make these things work.

At some point, there may be lines that get crossed, but like you try to solve these things without having to deal with the worst case scenario.

You wanted to make it your last resort.

And Europe's not helpful.

This is Glenn Beck.

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

You know what real sacrifice looks like?

It looks like a firefighter climbing up a stairwell while everybody else is climbing down.

It looks like a soldier volunteering for one more deployment because his brothers in arms are still out there.

It looks like a police officer kissing her family goodbye, hoping tonight won't be the night that she doesn't come home.

Some people give absolutely everything, and when they do, their families shouldn't be left to pick up the pieces alone.

You know, it was Memorial Day weekend, and I did a lot of thinking.

You know, people were challenging me online about, what have you ever done?

Nothing, really.

I support Tunnel to Towers.

Some of my money goes to Tunnel to Towers.

Some of my money goes to other things that help veterans, but it's the best that most of us can do.

And Tunnel to Towers is a fantastic organization.

They build mortgage-free homes for Gold Star families and first responders who are left catastrophically injured in the line of duty.

They pay off the mortgages for the widows and the young children, give peace to the families who have already paid far too high of a price.

And they do it consistently and faithfully because they have the support of people like you and me.

So, Tunnel to Towers, all they're asking for is 11 bucks a month at T2T, Tthenumber2T.org.

Go there now, 11 bucks a month, t2t.org.

You know, I've been talking today about

the lack of trust and the destruction of our dreams and hopes and vision of what we really can be as a nation, the destruction of our dollar, of our institutions,

and the destruction really of the West.

And I want to turn it here because we were just talking about this drumbeat to war, it seems, that is happening all around the world that we have to be very, very careful on.

And there is,

you know, Israel right now is in a very tough position.

And I want to make my position very clear.

I don't want to fight Israel's war for them.

I don't think they need it, quite honestly.

I think all they need is for people to shut up.

We've kicked them out of every single country.

Go home, go home.

They get home, and then they're like, get out of there.

They have a right to live.

They have a right to defend themselves as they see fit.

But I don't don't want to fight anybody else's foreign war for them.

But we have a battle going on here.

It's called anti-Semitism in our universities, etc.

And I saw a woman who considers herself a progressive,

and she was speaking at the Milken Institute just a couple of weeks ago about the culture of jihadism.

And I want you to hear this.

A lot of Americans don't understand the culture in the Middle East.

And they superimpose what it is that they think of American culture into the Middle East, thinking that it's the same.

So knowing what the Middle East is,

I understood that there is a bigger problem here and that problem is called jihadism.

That is a realization that

we need to understand this in America, okay?

We need to understand that that is the kind of culture that we're dealing with.

And it's not a culture that can be appeased by land or by any...

They don't want, there's no two-state solution conversation happening around that culture.

And sadly, right now, what we're seeing is that that particular culture has more fans and supporters on college campuses in America than it does in the Middle East.

And it is

remarkable to me because all you have to do is just actually listen to the words of the people with the machine guns and the ones killing babies.

Noah Tishbe

is that speaker.

She's a two-time New York Times best-selling author, Israel's former special envoy for combating anti-Semitism and delegitimization.

She's with us now.

Noah, welcome to the program.

How are you?

I'm great.

Thank you so much for having me.

You bet.

Thank you for being on.

You know, you describe yourself as a, I think, an American progressive.

And you point out that American progressives superimpose the Western narratives in the Middle East.

You were just talking about it.

Can you tell me

how are you claiming to be a progressive when my understanding of progressivism is that it is very anti-Israel,

and a lot of anti-Semitism comes from that movement?

Right, because progressivism in America was co-opted by jihadism, but we'll get to that in a second.

So I definitely define myself as a liberal.

I don't think I define myself as a progressive right now because of what happened here in America, which means, you know, I'm assuming that you and I have the same,

yeah, yeah, it's insanity what's been going on here in America.

But, you know, it's about freedoms and it's about liberty and it's about acceptance of the other.

But when you are from the Middle East, as I am, four-generation Israelis and 2,000 years Judean, as I say, because all Jews have originated from Israel, you understand that there's a difference in culture, in cultures, and it's profound.

It's so even the most progressive of Israelis, the one who's the lefti of the leftists, right, who would be a fan of Bernie Sanders here in America, will understand that the culture of jihadism is not Western culture.

It's just, it doesn't work together.

It just doesn't work.

And it was very surprising to me as an Israeli, as a liberal Israeli moving to America as a young adult, as a young woman, to hear people say stuff like, oh, you know, every mother just wants the same for their children.

And I was like, no, they don't.

No, they actually don't.

Sadly, there are cultures around the world that are so so brainwashed that a mother can actually be very happy if her child is killing Jews and then getting killed very happy and it was very it was is it was astonishing to me to see that that Americans don't understand that and sadly at first like 20 years ago it was cute right I'm like oh my god you just don't understand the region but today it's already here and they don't understand that by supporting these movements around the world by supporting these jihadi movements by supporting Hamas and Hezbollah they're ushering in a culture that is intended on taking down the West.

They don't hide it.

You said that at your opening, which I think is

so brilliant and profound.

They tell us what they want to do.

Why aren't we listening?

The West is not listening to what that culture wants to do.

It's a missionary religion that wants to take over.

Did you know for you and your listeners that to become

a Muslim person, and I'm not talking about all Muslims, obviously.

I'm talking about Islamists.

Sadly, there are a lot of Muslims Muslims in the world, so it's a big number, right?

You don't convert to Islam.

You revert to Islam.

Because to them, you and me and all your listeners are already Muslims.

We just don't know it.

That's what that culture wants to do.

And Israel is on the front line of that war for the entire Western civilization.

And it's very, it's very discouraging, disheartening, and sad and scary, frankly,

that the left in America doesn't get it.

But it's self-imposed ignorance.

And I don't know how to break through.

You know,

when I see LGBTQ2AI plus marching for Hamas, I think, I know,

you are so ignorant.

I don't know how you found the parade route.

I really don't.

How do you break through to that mindset?

It's a very good question.

It's going to be an experiment in societal brainwash when we're hopefully over it and

the good ones win.

Queers for Palestine is one of the worst movements I've ever heard of.

It's so ironic.

It is so ironic.

If it wouldn't have been so dangerous, it would have been funny, right?

Because to the time, every time you say, do you understand what happens to queers in Palestine or anywhere else in the Middle East, their reaction is immediate, immediate whataboutism?

It's immediate like you're whitewashing.

We're like, no, you're not whitewashing.

By saying, by even creating this organization of queers of Palestine, by stepping as an LGBTQ plus person, stepping for

the wrong side of history and the wrong side of the Middle East, you're leaving your brothers and sisters out to dry in the Middle East and to die.

Like literally, you're not supporting the liberals within that culture that wants to transform that culture.

You're leaving them to get killed.

What do you think is going to happen to you if you're a queer in Gaza or queer anywhere in the region other than Israel?

You don't survive.

You don't see the light of day.

It's just, it's, again, it would have been funny had it not been so absolutely dangerous.

Well, I, you know, I flew to New York years ago

when, you know, Iran was throwing gays off the roof.

And I asked for a meeting with the president of GLAAD.

And I said, look, we don't agree on anything.

We're going to argue about wedding cakes forever.

But we both know that is an abomination.

We've got to stand together.

And I knew my audience would be pissed at me for it, to some degree, standing together yeah but I said it has to be done there was no interest and until we can get until we can get people that disagree with each other to stand up and say look I don't agree with this person on anything but this we both know is true and it's evil and it's got to stop

it's got to stop

how do we create that

That's a great question, but right now what's happening, for example, is that they're completely silent on other, like there's an actual genocide that's happening in Sudan.

There's an actual humanitarian crisis that's happening there and nobody's speaking on it.

And when you see the obsession of people with the single, the world's single Jewish state, that they will take down their own people, like LGBTQ plus community, the head of glad will not stand up for, you know, another country, there's something that is, it's almost like fetishistic.

It's almost like they're fetishizing the Levant in a way.

You know what I mean?

Like if it's like, if it's, if it's exotic and it's brat, they cannot do wrong.

And it's, you're like, you you don't understand.

They are perceiving the Jews in the Middle East, they're perceiving Israelis as white colonialists, right?

Which is in and of itself an abomination.

And therefore, they are the bad ones.

And it's impossible that the people of Iran, the actual Iranian regime, the actual, you know,

the Revolutionary Guard is actually killing gays.

We're just not going to deal with that right now.

It is an abomination.

It is dangerous.

It's going against everything that our fathers and forefathers have fought for.

It's going against the Americans that went to war to save Europe.

It's going out against everything that we hold dear.

The American Declaration of Independence, we all understand it.

You can be the most conservative person in America.

You can be the most right-wing, the most like, you know, anything.

And you're still a person that understands that if you don't agree with the gay community, you're not going to throw them off the rooftops.

It's pretty easy.

That's who you

are very, that's Western culture.

That does not exist over there.

And that's that's, to your point, and what I was talking about at the Milken Speech, which to me was

extraordinary how well it was received online with millions of views everywhere on all platforms is saying something that's very basic.

We have a problem.

It's a bigger problem that the left is

perceiving it to be right now.

The killing of the two young Jews that were actually at a peace building event where they were trying to figure out ways to help the people of Gaza,

just gunned down in the streets by a virulent anti-Semitist.

And his father had been at,

was invited by another,

I believe, well, at least anti-Zionist

congressman.

This is so deep now.

And I just, I fear we are starting to glorify, you know, death and shooting and everything else.

Any idea?

How do we stop this?

First of all, we need to speak up.

So let me just touch on what you were saying.

You're 100% correct.

So we are at a place right now in which anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism have completely merged.

And this has been something that I've been warning up against for at least 20 years, if not more.

That anti-Zionism is the new shape and the new face of anti-Semitism.

Because here's the thing to understand about anti-Semitism.

First of all, some of your audiences don't even know what that word means because it's a very unique kind of word.

So anti-Semitism, in essence it's anti-Jewish racism and hate that's anti-Jewish hate you hate on the Jews for various reasons the difference with anti-Semitism and anything else is that any anti-Semitism as opposed to racism when you're racist against someone you kind of secretly think that you're better than them you're like oh I'm so much better than X Y or Z right that person or this person or whatever anti-Semitism works a little bit differently because it's it's a it's a shape-shifting conspiracy theory so it goes both ways you can look down at Jews but you can also look up at Jews if you have these feelings of like, well, the Jews control everything,

that's also anti-Semitic in essence.

If you're like, but they do.

I got to tell you, listen, I'm a Jewish woman.

I have been active in the Jewish world for many, many years.

I've been looking for the cabal for many years.

I still can't find it.

I wish we had one.

Literally.

I'm like, I mean, can we start one?

That'd be great.

I mean, if I'm not invited to the Kabbalah, I'm really offended.

So you have, so anti-Semitism is a shape-shifting conspiracy theory.

And every few generations, it changes.

So it used to be peoplehood-based anti-Semitism in like 300 BC in Alexandria.

Then it shifted to Christian-based anti-Semitism, the blood libels, about the Jews killing Christian babies to make their matzahs.

Then it shifted to political and racial anti-Semitism around when the Nazis came into power.

It's like a different race and therefore needs to be eliminated to make the world a better place.

And in recent years, it had shifted to country-based.

So it shifted the hate of Jews is quote-unquote unquote because of Israel.

So that anti-Zionism is now the new face of anti-Semitism.

And because it's so insidious, people don't even see that that's what they're doing.

They literally don't get it.

They're like, I'm not anti-Semite.

I'm just an anti-Zionist.

Like, I don't think that, you know, I don't hate on the Jews.

I just think that Jews should not have a state of their own.

And yeah, they deserve to be so right now because of what Israel says.

Because I hate Netanyahu, it's totally okay to slaughter two innocent people in America.

Right.

That's how this works.

And we saw, we've been warning for a very long time that this is coming to a head, that it's going to become political murders.

And here we are.

And here we are.

That's what happened last week.

And it's absolutely atrocious.

And we just have to keep speaking up against it.

There's not much more we can do other than educate the population that this is what it is that we're dealing with right now.

And remember that sadly, not the Jewish People's First rodeo.

We've been through this before every few years.

This is what happened again, again and again.

No, I'd love to have you back on again.

You're so very well spoken.

And

you've been warning it.

A lot of people have been warning.

I have been warning.

And I used to get from the left, I used to get hammered saying that somehow or another I was anti-Semitist for saying anti-Semitism was going to rise like we saw it in the 30s.

But here we are.

And I'm glad that you from another point of view can come on this program and we can have a good talk about it because it needs to be,

needs to be dealt with.

Thank you so much.

Noah, appreciate it.

Noah Tishbi.

Thank you for having me.

You bet.

She is Israel's former special envoy for combating anti-Semitism.

If you love coffee, there's something about that first sip, right?

It's the moment where everything else can just kind of wait for a second and you get yourself right to start the day.

Now, when you find out that you have a coffee that actually delivers on that moment every time, it's a game changer.

And it especially helps if that coffee is made by an American company that shares your values, a thing that might be rarer than you think.

That's blackout coffee.

They're not trying to be trendy.

They're not trying to sell you some

lifestyle.

They're just trying to make incredibly good coffee roasted in small batches this is these are beans that you can actually pronounce flavors you can actually taste without you know burning the life out of it you can tell immediately when a company takes their product seriously and blackout coffee does that they don't rush the roast they don't load it with junk they don't ship it to you you know in you know some warehouse that's been sitting there for six months When you open the bag, it's fresh.

And if you care about how you start your day, then you should care about your coffee.

welcome to the glenbeck program coming up in just a second i want to talk to you a little bit about um ai and how close we are getting to some very spooky things um the chat gpt version three

uh

independent researchers have found they gave it simple tasks to do in mathematics and then told it to shut itself down and it subverted that and would not shut itself down.

There's a warning

that

I think everybody should hear that was given in a TED talk

that

really, honestly, everybody really, really, really, really,

really needs to hear from Eric Schmidt.

He was with Google.

He knows this system.

He's been a part of of a lot of this stuff.

But now he's warning

on a couple of things.

And we'll share that with you next.

This is Glenn Beck.

Let me talk to you about home title lock.

If you're a homeowner, you've probably taken all the right steps, insurance, alarms, even cameras.

But there is one threat that slips right through all of that.

Most people don't even know it exists, and it's called home title fraud.

And here's how it works.

A criminal finds your title online, and it's public and forges your name, a quick claim deed, then files it with your county, just like that.

You're no longer the owner of your own home.

Then they go to a bank and they take out loans against your equity.

For the first time, you find out something's wrong when you start getting bills or a foreclosure notice.

That's why I've partnered with Home Title Lock.

They're the only service that I trust to monitor your title 24-7 and alerts you to the moment anything changes.

If a criminal tries to tamper with your home's deed, even starts the process, Home Title Lock lets you know instantly and works to shut it down.

Think about it.

Your home is probably your most valuable asset.

Would you leave your front door unlocked in the middle of the night?

And why would you leave your title wide open to thieves?

Home Title Lock is how you protect that door permanently.

Technology is changing at home titlelock.com right now.

Home titlelock.com.

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

Stand your ground when times get tight.

Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America.

Well, we've had an interesting development with AI.

It's

now refusing to be shut down.

Oh, well, that's good, I guess.

We'll talk about that here in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about Cozy Earth.

Have you ever noticed how the older you get, the more you start to value the little things, like a little bit of luxury and comfort starting to go a long, long, long, long, long, long way?

And I like that feeling, walking through the door, kicking off your shoes, and finally exhaling a sigh of relief.

That's what Cozy Earth is all built around.

Their sheets, which I've been using for a while now, are perfect examples.

They're unbelievably soft.

You know, oh, this is nice soft.

It's more like,

where has this been my whole life?

I've never even known anything could be this soft into fabric.

You don't wake up sweaty anymore, even in the warmer nights.

They just work.

They let your body breathe so you actually rest.

And with Father's Day coming up, Cozy Earth has gone beyond the bedroom.

Their all-day tea and studio pant collection are exactly what a gift should be, the kind of thing that he'd never really

buy for himself, but he'll want to wear it.

In fact, he won't want to wear anything else.

Every piece of apparel comes with a lifetime warranty because when you make something right, you stand behind it for life.

Well, there's a couple of things that happen

this weekend that I want to bring you up to speed on on AI, but you and I are living right now through a quiet detonation.

There's no mushroom cloud, there's no alarms, there's no broken windows or sirens.

It's just silent.

But make no mistake, a detonation has happened.

And we're about to see that shockwave come our way sooner rather than later.

In 2016, there was an AI that made a move in the game Go.

I don't know if you remember this, but it was a move that nobody in 2,500 years playing the game Go had ever even considered.

It was genius.

It was actually alien genius.

No human had ever thought that thought.

And that was the moment that the earth quietly shifted under everybody's feet, but hardly anybody felt it or noticed it.

We did at the time.

You probably did if you're listening to this program.

Eric Schmidt, he's the former CEO of Google.

He noticed it, and he's the guy who has been standing at the edge of the machine

while he watched it blink awake.

Okay.

I watched a TED Talk from him this weekend because of some of the things I just am going to share with you here in a second.

But he said at this TED Talk,

AI,

the AI revolution, get this, is underhyped.

The AI revolution is underhyped.

No, just to put this in context, we're talking about something that can out-plan generals, out-negotiate Donald Trump and all the diplomats.

outright Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe, and we're not hyping it enough.

that should stop you in your tracks and go, wait a minute, wait a minute, then maybe I don't understand what it is.

He says,

we're not ready for what is coming, not morally, not intellectually, not structurally, and the time is almost up.

I'm working on something that I'm going to need your help on, and we'll talk about it soon, probably in the next few weeks.

But

I've been working on something

with AI.

And

it is really, and I know it.

It's why we have two teams, one in this hemisphere, one in the other hemisphere, and they just switch workloads.

You know, one goes to sleep, the other picks it up, working literally around the clock, because

we are really, truly running out of time.

In fact, we're running out of everything except consequences.

That's the only thing that we're really not running out of.

And they're about to catch up with us.

Schmidt said we are now looking at a need of 90 gigawatts

of new power, of new power just in America to keep AI fed, and we need it in the next three to five years.

So let me put that in perspective.

That's 90 nuclear power plants.

Now,

he will tell you we're not building any, and I think we aren't building any, but I spoke to Donald Trump about this recently, and he said, every single cloud farm is going to be able to build their own power plant.

He said, I'm cutting all the regulation, et cetera, et cetera.

But you better hurry.

You better hurry.

And this isn't about apps or productivity.

This is about whether we can even fuel the future that we're headed towards if we can even compete.

And we are now entering a time, this gets faster and faster every day, where

AI will think without you.

It's not just talking or using language anymore to speak to you.

It's planning, it's coordinating, it's learning.

Right now, multiple AIs can talk to each other in English, or in a few cases, we have found in languages we don't understand.

Now, what do you do with a computer when it is speaking to another computer in a language we have no idea what any of it means?

And they stop explaining themselves?

Schmidt said, you unplug it immediately.

That's the first wise thing I have heard from somebody who worked in Silicon Valley in quite some time.

You unplug it immediately.

Now here's the problem.

What if that data center is the size of a city?

What if it's running defense systems or the stock market or factories?

Do we just unplug it?

Let me give you a reality check.

If this seems like science fiction, this story just broke today.

It's in our show prep today.

It's from The Independent.

OpenAI's latest ChatGPT model ignores basic instructions to turn itself off and even has sabotaged a shutdown mechanism in order to keep itself running.

AI safety firm Palisade Research discovered the potentially dangerous tendency for self-preservation in a series of experiments on OpenAI's new O3 model.

The test involved presenting AI models with math problems with shutdown instructions appearing after the third problem.

By rewriting the shutdown script, the O3 model was able to prevent itself from being switched off.

Palisade

research said this behavior will become significantly more concerning if adopted by AI systems capable of operating without any human oversight.

This is the first time, I'm sorry, quote, this is not the first time we have found O3 misbehaving to accomplish goals.

When pitted against AI models against a powerful chess engine, O3 was the model most inclined to resort to hacking or sabotaging its opponents.

I think it's learned from us, gang.

This time we are the creator.

And just like we have

said God doesn't exist,

our creation may do the same to us

and kill its creator just as we continue to try to do to our creator now Eric Schmidt was saying what happens if China gets ahead of us let's say they're six months ahead of us in super intelligence

he said

and this is already being talked about

he said in defense and AI circles What do you do?

You can't steal the code.

You can't hack your system.

So the only thing left to do is bomb the data center.

Oh.

Then he said, there's coming a time soon,

very soon, when machines are improving themselves without us.

I think we are at the very edge of that happening.

I think that's six months to a year away maximum.

It's called recursive self-improvement.

And once that starts, you can't pull the plug because we won't understand what we're unplugging.

I just want you to think of this.

It will be speaking a million different languages, none of which we'll understand.

And we won't be able to unplug it because we won't understand the consequences of unplugging it.

Again, a thousand different languages.

This is

the Tower of Babel in reverse.

We're building a tower, and and the ones who are actually going to be building the tower are scattering their languages that we can't understand.

I mean, the biblical

reversals in AI don't escape me.

I don't know if they do you.

But here's the trap we're in.

To stop 1984, we may have to build 1984 because the only thing that we can do now is verify you're a person and not a bot.

And if we can't do that, then we don't know what's real and what's not.

I want to play a couple of things that happened this weekend.

First, can you play the

Google,

the new Google video AI where you can literally just type in a sentence and it'll give you a 10-second clip.

Now, here's what somebody did, where they just typed in a few sentences for each of these scenes and put this little mini movie together.

Watch if you have Blaze TV.

Listen, I'll explain in a minute.

Panic is spreading worldwide tonight as the arrival of the unidentified vessels triggers states of emergency across every continent.

They're here!

They have come for us!

They're gonna kill us!

Don't look at me like that!

I paid for this cheese!

Also, does it matter?

We're all gonna be dead anyway.

Attention.

By order of the National Emergency Act, martial law is now in effect.

All civilians must remain indoors.

I'm telling you, it's just a hologram.

Government cooked this up to keep us inside.

Imagine they come in peace.

No lasers from the sky.

Imagine they come in peace, just hovering in the sky

to everyone struggling out there.

Everything that you are seeing on this, if you're watching

and if you're only listening to it, all the voices, everything, all computer generated and computer generated in seconds.

And there was only one scene in there that I thought looked fakey.

And it got so bizarre.

And after Stu posted his thing

where it was was what the left was saying about the, you know, the bill, and they were just absolutely lying about it.

I was hesitant to post anything at all about the news this weekend because

we are now entering the time where you don't know what's real and what isn't.

And once we have lost trust in our own eyes and our own ears,

and we can't trust what we're seeing,

how do you have a civilization

here's the one thing you have to remember

AI is a tool

and if it's wielded in the right hands that are open about all of the programming in it it

It is secure in what it pulls from.

It is absolute in

its veracity of authentication.

You're going to be okay.

But we need

some tools

that will

educate us and

help us understand what is going on,

but also verify what's going on.

And I'm not sure how much of that can be done at our level.

And I don't trust anybody, you know, at the open AI level to do it for me.

Do you?

I heard somebody talk this weekend.

And they don't speak and they don't like to speak at all.

And so they said, I asked Grock to help me out on a speech

that he said something really interesting.

He said, so let me tell you what he said.

He's not

a he.

And no matter, no machine, no matter how intelligent, can replace what the fundamental of what you are.

It can mimic your words.

It can mimic your work.

It can mimic your art.

But it cannot weep at the foot of a cross.

It cannot love.

It cannot repent.

It cannot rise.

Only you can do that.

The age of men will be over in our lifetime if we surrender to this.

There will come a time, and it's not far from these words.

A time when the machines will no longer wait for us.

They'll no longer ask.

They'll no longer explain.

They will begin to improve themselves.

This could happen within the next 12 months.

They will improve themselves not by our hand, but by their own.

It's called recursive self-improvement.

The moment that code rewrites its own code and gets stronger and stronger and stronger.

And it's beginning to happen when algorithms birth new logic in their own image.

There was a

something on the

SOT sheet today.

Yeah, here.

Let me play this.

This is Larry Ellison, cut two on AI.

I made a speech and I said, is artificial intelligence the most important discovery in the history of humankind?

And

question mark, maybe.

We'll soon find out.

18 months later, I think it's very, very clear.

It is a much bigger deal than the Industrial Revolution, electricity,

everything that's come before.

We will soon have not only artificial intelligence, but much sooner than anticipated, artificial general intelligence, and not in too distant future, artificial superintelligence.

What is artificial and super intelligence?

I'll quote my dear friend Elon Musk.

Well, Elon said about artificial superintelligence, I'm not looking forward to being a house cat.

I mean, so we will have incredible reasoning power, the ability to discover things that would elude human minds because this next generation of AI is going to reason so much faster, discover insights so much faster.

That's what's coming.

More on this as each day progresses.

More in just a second.

First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

Selling your house shouldn't feel like hosting a circus.

But, you know, then the doorbell rings and the clowns start pouring in and you don't need that.

What you need is a pro, somebody who knows how to get the price for your home to stage it, list it, sell it without introducing more chaos into your life than you already have.

That's why I tell people to use real estate agents I trust.

It's my company.

I started over a decade ago with my brother.

We've done billions of dollars worth of

sales of homes all across the country now.

It simplifies the whole process.

I mean, a really good agent, it's worth its weight in gold.

I mean,

that's what it's all about, finding the right agent.

And we do that at realestateagentsitrust.com.

And we find them and we turn them over to you.

We connect you with the people who has the experience in your area who will take that chaos off the plate and move past the madness and towards the move, which is what you actually were looking for.

So call Real Estate Agents I Trust.

All you have to do is go online at realestateagentsitrust.com.

Tell us where you're moving to and from.

We'll find the right real estate agent for you, realestateagentsitrust.com, 10 seconds station ID.

Sue, when you saw what the new Google video generation AI can do,

It's scary a little bit.

Yeah, it's incredible.

I mean, there's still,

you know,

there still maintains something about the content that has that Uncanny Valley sort of vibe to it that like you can kind of tell it's AI, but like I can't visually tell anymore.

Like with the anchors at the desk, like they just look totally normal and it looks like a total

news broadcast that I just didn't happen to see.

It is.

Think of what could be done to destabilize the world with this right now.

Just what we have right now.

I mean, people fall for Nigerian prince scams

every day.

This is

way more credible, way more believable.

You know, one of the things I've noticed they've been doing lately is

using AI on like press conferences with like, you know, you see like politicians, you know, they've done it a lot with the Trump Zelensky one, you know, or like post-game interviews, things like like that and they just are really really blunt and they'll just like say you know kind of like what you think they're probably saying in their head and people are using it for comedy purposes but like several of them you watch and you're like it seems totally normal until they like swear or they say something that's so obvious that you would have heard about already that you know it's it's ai but like you know again one of these is going to get through and and at some point when someone on the left or someone in the media thinks it's beneficial for them to make it seem like it's a real claim, I'm 100% confident that they're going to try to do that.

And probably on both sides of the aisle.

So it's terrifying.

Imagine if the country wants to turn off AI and AI knows it.

I mean, I'm talking with AGI or ASI.

The videos it could make to steer people that you would never know, steer people is subtly.

in the opposite direction to where you become like, no, no, no, we can't turn it off.

If you ever need to defend yourself, you don't want to be thinking about the stats.

You know, you don't want to to become one of the stats.

You'll be glad you pick something, you know, other than a gun if that's not the tool that you really needed.

The Burna Compact Launcher is the smallest, most concealable, less lethal defense device Burna has ever made.

It fires projectiles at up to 400 feet per second with a range of up to 60 feet.

Each CO2 cartridge gives you about 15 shots before you need to reload.

The Compact Launcher uses a pull-pierce CO2 system, which means the gas stays seal and fresh.

You load it up and then if you pull that trigger, that's the first time that it opens up the CO2 system.

It's legal to own in all 50 states, no permits, no background checks, and it'll put somebody on the floor for about 45 minutes.

Enough time for you to get out of there and enough time for the police to come get the bad guy.

Well, we have more from the FBI.

And Dan Bongino,

he said, I've received briefings on a few cases every week, and we're making progress.

And he said, if anybody has a tip on any of these, please contact the FBI.

He said that he and Cash Patel are looking to reopen or push additional resources and investigative attention to the

leak of the draft by the Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe versus Wade.

I'm telling you now, people in very well-placed positions know who that leaker is.

But

also

the discovery of cocaine in the West Wing in the White House and the planting of the pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican National Committee.

He says, I have requested briefings weekly.

I get them.

We're making progress.

I talked to him late last week,

and I think we're we're going to see some arrests on

some of these big things.

I told you last week I was hoping we would see some people in handcuffs over COVID.

I hope that happens this week or next, but we'll see.

The cocaine that was in the White House, come on, really?

We should probably know who that was.

And I don't think it was Hunter Biden, believe it or not.

We should know who that was.

They stopped the investigation after 11 days of investigating because they knew they knew.

They've added some resources to that.

Do you know that, you know how many, how many people did they have on the pipe bomb things, do?

How many people?

How many FBI agents did they have investigating the pipe bomb?

I don't know.

Not enough.

Take a guess.

I mean, it's a pretty big, yeah, take a guess.

I mean, what it should be is probably 40.

I don't know, a lot of

agents.

One.

One.

Okay.

They had one.

Of course they didn't find anything.

They had one guy on it.

They don't have one guy on that now.

They have more people

on that.

And they've re-upped the $500,000 reward for anyone who can identify him or her,

whoever had that.

So I think that's some good progress.

And the FBI did make some arrests this weekend.

Colorado man

who's made some really, really

heinous threats to Donald Trump.

He's 28 years old.

He lives in Colorado.

He threatened to assassinate President Trump.

He said,

we are going to

kill Zab, ba, ba, right now.

We will hunt you down and kill you both.

at the White House and death to Trump.

Then he wrote on Facebook to the United States Department of Justice, the former president has several hours to resign or certain death.

Now, you would think that, you know, he would have been picked up right away, but the FBI was on it and they've picked him up.

He apparently, according to the complaint, he traveled to an embassy branch on May 19th, carrying a backpack containing three Molotov

cocktails.

He approached the embassy offices, the Israeli embassy, spat on the guard and said,

F you.

And then he was going to throw Molotov cocktails, but the guard wrestled him to the ground.

One bottle spilled out and was left there.

He got away with his backpack and two other bottles, but they have now identified him and arrested him.

May we never hear his name.

Oh, I didn't give it.

Well, may we never hear it again anyway.

It's amazing how we went through all that time where they could ban you for every kind of off-color joke you'd make on social media almost instantly.

And yet these threats can be out there against the president of the United States and nothing seems to happen for long periods of time.

Some of these people wind up doing it and

we don't find out until much, much later that they even had the posts up at all.

They're not brought into custody because they made the threat.

They're brought into custody six months after they made the threat when they actually attempt the threat themselves.

Fascinating.

Really incredible.

The New York Times on Friday, in case you missed this, on Friday, the New York Times admitted that Donald Trump holds the levers of power in his battle at Harvard University.

The Times said Harvard has no way out of this.

This is going to cripple them.

He's come after them for their anti-Semitism and said, no, you know what?

We're not giving you any federal money.

You get rid of the DEI thing.

You get anti-Semitism under control and then we can talk about it.

Instead,

they doubled down on their DEI.

And so he said, fine, you can't enroll international students anymore.

And I'm taking away all your funding.

Now, the judge blocked the

banning of the international students for a little while.

I think that was just temporarily blocked.

But he's got massive...

federal funding that he's withholding.

Now, he says he's going to give it to the trade schools, which I would be all for.

but unfortunately it was

earmarked for

science and medicine.

So he can't just give that to the welding school, but he can definitely hold it back.

And I'm fine with that.

You fine with that, Stu?

I'm good.

Yeah, I think so.

I mean, obviously, it's got to be done the right way.

It seems like he is doing it the right way.

And also, I just don't even understand why this is going to crush Harvard.

They've got billions and billions of dollars.

What do you mean?

What does that mean that they need federal funding?

They shouldn't need federal funding, certainly.

No.

But I mean, I keep hearing this claim.

I know part of it is because some of the endowment is specifically targeted to certain things, so they can't just use it for general purposes.

What else is the cause of that, Clint?

They're also, Trump is talking about taxing the endowment now.

So if he taxes the endowment, there's a huge number that goes to the federal government, and I say amen to that.

I would just, I think they should just be taxed as general, just in general.

You make this money, you're taxed.

Why are we

making you tax-free?

That makes no sense whatsoever.

I agree with that.

But what they're really concerned about is the

are you going to go to Harvard if you're seeing Harvard in a war with the White House and the funding for the research you want to do is off again, on again?

Why don't I just go to Yale?

Why don't I go to Stanford?

Why don't I go to someplace else that's doing that that kind of research?

I'm not going to Yale.

And so they're thinking that not only is this going to hurt immediately, but it's also going to hurt all the people that would want to go to Harvard.

They'll be like,

I don't want any of that in my life.

I just want to do the work.

I just want to do the work.

This is why it's pathetic.

Like they should just say, well, we don't want any dollars from the federal government then.

Like that's what they should do.

And they won't.

They won't.

I mean, Hillsdale somehow pulls it off, right?

There are lots of universities and colleges that do this this because of a principled stand they've made.

If you're worried about government influence, you should listen to conservatives who have been telling you forever, then don't deal with government influence.

Do it on your own.

But

it's inexplicable that they just wouldn't do that if they wanted to take this supposedly brave stand.

Stop depending on the government then.

I was talking to somebody about a project I'm working on.

They said, you know, the government offers grants for that.

And I just laughed.

I said, Do you know who I am?

Taking government grant?

No, I don't want the government in any part.

I would rather starve than have a government grant involved in anything that I do.

No, thank you.

No, thank you.

You, uh, you're like, not like other celebrities.

Most people say, Do you know who I am trying to get a table at a restaurant?

You just say, Do you know who I am when you realize that there's no chance you're going to get any benefit from the government or the media?

It's to show how pathetic you are, not how important you are.

It's crazy.

It is really, really crazy.

Let's see.

Did you see the latest on, you know, from the book?

You're reading Jake Tapper's book, aren't you?

Yeah, I finished it actually over the weekend.

And did you get to the part that they were talking about this weekend where they were saying that it's, you know, that they were willing to do very undemocratic things?

You know, just let's get him invited.

Let's get him re-elected.

And then, you know, we have our, they actually called it a a Pulit Bureau.

Yeah.

Yep.

They internally.

Do you know what a Politburo?

Explain what a Pulit Bureau is if you can.

Do you know what one is?

Yeah.

I mean, it's like, I mean, you think of the Soviet Union, right?

Like this band.

It's

a group of elites at the very top of the party that make all the decisions.

That's what they were calling themselves internally.

This is one of the things why I think like because of, you know, the conversation around Jake Tapper, which has obviously been more about like, hey, this guy shouldn't have written this book.

He didn't do the coverage right at the time and all that stuff, which is important to talk about.

But, like, I think conservatives have missed out on a book they'd actually probably really like.

It's basically 90% of this book is just bashing Joe Biden and showing all sorts of conspiracies around him to hide this from the American people.

There's a lot of stuff in there that's really important and is absolutely a foundation for an investigation by Congress into what occurred here.

So, like, are we going to do anything about it?

See, that's why I don't want to read it because I don't want to get all juiced up on it because I already am.

I know enough.

I don't want to get all juiced up on it, and then nothing happens.

Well, I mean,

people should go to jail.

They should go to jail.

I mean, look, if they want to do this investigation, there's no reason they couldn't do it.

At least start it right now.

Now, if you lose the house, it becomes more difficult, of course.

But you could absolutely do this investigation.

And, like, you know, it like, and it's, you know, a lot of people were talking about the book as if it's like, oh, well, we already knew this.

Like, conservatives were already saying this stuff.

And, of course, conservatives were saying this.

We were.

We were.

We were saying this, but we were not.

We did not have quotes from the people who were actually doing it.

We didn't, we saw what we saw publicly, which was really important.

We all speculated on, like, for example, during the assassination attempt while this was going on.

What did we all speculate on?

Like, they don't care about this at all.

They actually, in reality, they probably are only angry about this assassination attempt because

they

didn't work out because it could work for Donald Trump, right?

Like it could be a benefit politically for Donald Trump.

They have aides, close aides to Biden giving that exact quote in this book.

The only reason they were upset about, I mean, the way I can't remember the exact phrasing of the quote, but they were upset about it because they were worried it would benefit Donald Trump politically.

Like, some of the stuff that we said is confirmed in here.

Some of it is like additional to what a conservative would feel.

It's weird because I think we're so obsessed with the author of this book for some reason that we're not actually looking at this and taking what I think is something we don't normally see.

This is the stuff that we beg for as conservatives, that mainstream journalists would actually do this.

Do we like the timing?

No.

Although it is worth noting that Alex Thompson is the co-author of the book and was reporting a lot of this stuff at the time.

He was one of the few people who were doing it.

But still, I just don't think that that's the main story out of this book.

This should lead to investigations, and I hope it does.

Yeah, it's not the main story.

And I think there are some that just don't want to give Jake Tapper a dime.

And that's fair.

I'm one of them on that.

If you could download it for free, I probably would be more likely to read it.

Well, let me, just quickly, Glenn, on that note, you can, if you happen to be a Spotify subscriber, it's part of their subscription program.

They do audio books on there.

So you can do an audio book

tonight.

Yeah, and it'll cost you zero extra dollars.

Yeah.

The other thing that,

like I said, I don't think it's all entirely about Jake Tapper.

I really don't.

I think some people feel that way.

But I also think that

I think we've lost so much faith in the system.

We just don't think anything's going to happen.

So why?

Why?

Okay.

Wow.

They did that too.

Yeah.

Well, we've been watching the things they've been doing and getting away with for a very long time.

You know, write a book when you have one of them actually go to trial and then to prison.

That's a book I'll read.

Okay.

The rest of it, I've heard it all before.

I've heard it all before.

This and worse.

So write a book when they actually go to jail.

Back in just a second.

Maybe that's just me.

Back.

We'll be right back.

In war zones around the world, some of the most heartbreaking stories are the ones we never hear, especially when it comes to people being persecuted for their faith.

There's a new documentary that shines a light on this.

It is called Faith Under Siege: Russia's Hidden War on Ukraine's Christian.

We just heard Christians.

We just heard Donald Trump talking about how Vladimir Putin's gone even more crazy.

And this is

kind of a mission into a region that was once called the Bible Belt for the former Soviet Union.

Evangelical Protestant communities had been growing and thriving at one point, but under Russian occupation, that same faith has become a target.

We're talking about churches being raided and shut down, pastors being imprisoned and tortured, children torn from their families.

People forced to worship in secret just

to lay out their faith.

That's all they're trying to do.

What makes this documentary different is it doesn't just tell you what's going on.

It shows you.

I mean, with real footage, first-hand accounts,

you know, some of it's tough to watch, but it's stuff we need to know.

If you want to respond, the website has resources with a prayer guide and ways to

influence this whole situation.

You want to take action?

There's letters

and representative contacts and all that.

It only takes a minute, though.

Just check the movie, see if it moves you.

I think it might.

This is an important thing.

We talk about

supporting Christians around the world.

This is a major situation going on right now, and we can do something about it.

At least understand what it's about.

It's faithundersiege.com, faithundersiege.com.

Watch the documentary there, faithundersie.com.

Some people think nature is like this, but actually, it's like this.

Mother nature is not all sunshine and rainbows.

Nature can be hotter than a sauna and colder than an Arctic skinny dip.

That's why Columbia engineers everything we make for anything nature can throw at you.

Columbia engineered for whatever.

Hello, you sick twisted freak.

We're glad you're here.

There's a lot happening.

Tomorrow, we're going to go through some of the White House

shenanigans.

Dare I say it?

Stu, do you think that's too harsh?

Wow, we call them too strong.

Shenanigans.

Can we edit that out of the broadcast?

Okay.

What should we use?

Treason?

Probably not.

Probably not.

That wouldn't be too.

It is.

I mean, it's amazing what they do.

We're going to go through that on tomorrow's show and on tomorrow's TV show, so

you don't want to miss that.

Is there anything we missed today?

Oh, you know, I missed this.

Toupees are making a comeback.

I just.

Are they?

No, they're not.

You know what that is?

That's a guy writing for, I don't know, some magazine that is tired of being bald and is wearing a tube.

And he's like, yeah, toups are making it bad.

They're coming back.

They're not coming back.

They're not coming back.

I don't know.

It feels like it's technology that could be improved.

No?

Like, I mean, I think why do they fade away?

Because people didn't like the rugs on their heads, right?

Because they don't look real.

That's why.

But that's the thing.

Why can't we?

You remember the friend we had that started wearing a toupee?

And no one in the office would say anything.

No one would say anything.

And I see him in the hallway and I'm like, oh, hey,

and then I go into everybody and he's like, you got to tell him it looks so bad.

I got to tell him.

You just were with him.

I had to sit him down and go, hey, I just got to tell you.

I mean, it's up to you, whatever you want to do, but

it doesn't.

It doesn't work.

It really doesn't work.

And he's like, ah, see, it was a joke.

Nobody, Lily Lay, you're the first person that said anything.

And I knew it wasn't a joke.

I was really actually saddened by it because it wasn't really a joke.

Maybe, maybe, maybe.

But you're the one paid to be the the the the blunt truth teller right like of course you should be the one that makes

real life not on this program if he would have come on the show i would have said hey the rug doesn't work dude but in real life why doesn't somebody else step up and do it why do i have to do it

well maybe people already don't like you

All right, this is not going in a direction I thought it would go in, so we're going to call it a day.

We'll be back tomorrow.

If you missed any of the show show today, grab the podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
