Let me tell you about my Patriot supply.

Just when you think you think things can't get any weirder in the country, they usually do.

Chinese government has been buying up American farmland by hundreds of thousands of acres, and not just land.

They're, you know, they're moving in on fertilizer, supply chains, farming equipment, animal feed, all the stuff that keeps our food system running.

It's not a mystery.

It's a strategy.

They're tightening their grip on global food production.

And if the day comes when that power gets used as a weapon, we better have a backup plan.

That's why I trust my Patriot Supply.

We're going to start with a little bit of history, a little perspective, and how things just have not changed with the press.

We'll explain in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

You know, after a while, you stop thinking about pain, not because it's gone, but because you built your whole life around the pain.

You can't sleep in a certain position.

You walk a certain way.

You sit a little differently.

You turn down invitations without thinking about why.

It's just habit now.

You have a life designed around limitations.

Well, it was on this day

in

it was May, actually, May 7th, that Germany in 1945 signed the end of the war.

But we didn't know about it, and we don't celebrate it until today.

In fact, Donald Trump said that we need to start celebrating this as Victory Day.

You know, it's VE Day today, the victory in Europe.

We had VJ Day, victory in Japan, a few months later.

But it was actually yesterday that is the anniversary of victory in Europe.

However, what happened was

Stalin didn't like the fact that his people weren't there.

And so

they had the armistice and they had signed the peace treaty, but Stalin wasn't, Stalin's people weren't there, and they said, we don't accept that, and we need one of our people there.

So

no.

And so everybody knew that peace was coming the next day.

There would be another peace treaty, but no one could announce it.

And there was a guy that you've never heard of.

And if this doesn't just show you how things, the more things change, the more

everything stays exactly the same.

There was a reporter,

and

he was there at the peace treaty.

He saw the peace treaty signed.

So he knew exactly what was going on.

Well,

he phones in to New York and he dictates and he says, hey,

there is peace.

We are out of war.

And before he even hangs up the phone, it is already going out to media places all over the world because it's victory.

So he's not even finished dictating.

Then the line is cut.

He's told, you can't say that because Stalin wants to have his people there tomorrow.

And he's like, but we do have peace.

We're at an armistice now.

We have peace.

You can't say that.

So

he

was at a crossroads.

What do I do?

We have peace.

And the United States government came to him and said,

you can't say anything about it.

And he's like, wait,

we have a rule here that if it's going to cost people's lives,

then I can't say it.

That's the deal with the Associated Press.

You can tell us it's going to cost lives of our soldiers, and then you can keep it secret.

But this is not.

This is actually saying there's peace.

So you can't tell me not to release that.

They went back and forth, and this reporter decided, I'm releasing it.

So hours later, he does it again, and he releases it officially and says, peace.

Well, when he does it, now the Associated Press won't pick it up.

Now nobody else will pick it up.

And by the next morning, all of the people that he was working for and working with, all of his friends, he was a huge war correspondent at the time.

You don't know his name because of this story.

But he was one of the biggest war correspondents of the time.

He releases it by the next morning, all of his colleagues are calling him a traitor.

And he's like, guys, I was there.

I saw them sign it.

All they have to do is affix the signature of the Soviet on there, and it's done.

And it's going to be done at 1 p.m.

today.

I included that in my story: that Stalin wasn't there.

He wanted to make sure that his signature was affixed, so it's going to happen tomorrow.

But we are actually at peace, and we have been for 24 hours.

They all turned on him, and they all called him a traitor.

Then the the Associated Press blackballs him.

He can't find a job.

Nobody wants to work with him.

One person decides to give him a job, and I think it's in Santa Clara, California.

It's a newspaper, small newspaper.

This is a very big guy, a huge war correspondent.

He gets a job at a local newspaper.

There's a statue of him in town now.

Under the statue, it just says, the man who gave the world

24 hours of peace.

He's in a car crash in like 1963.

He dies.

After that,

and after all of this passes, the Associated Press decides to come out and say, you know what, we were wrong.

We were wrong.

We shouldn't have handled it.

That was a very tough day for all of us, and we handled that incorrectly, and he was actually right.

And we're super, super sorry.

We'll never do that again.

He didn't live to see his name restored.

In 2011,

he was up for a Pulitzer Prize, but they gave it to somebody else.

I don't know who they gave it to.

Probably somebody, you know, in gender studies.

But

they don't have a rule about resubmitting him, and hopefully he'll finally get his

justice.

But as the day is today, VE Day, the recognition, and Donald Trump just said yesterday that America really needs to call this Victory Day, and we need to commemorate it because everybody in Europe commemorates this day.

Everybody in Europe is grateful for the United States on this day every year.

And we kind of blow past it.

And maybe we shouldn't.

Because it was on this day that

we defeated totalitarianism.

We defeated fascism.

And we started a war with another version of that, communism.

But at least for the day, we had peace.

This was the day that famous picture was taken in Times Square

with the

sailor and the nurse kissing.

They didn't know each other.

By the way, that now, in our National Archives, that picture now has a warning label on it saying how inappropriate it was because they didn't know each other and this was male sexual aggression.

But here's the thing.

Here's what I just want to leave you with this.

I don't know when it'll be.

Maybe it'll be in 30 years.

Maybe it'll be in 70 years.

But all the people, every American, every scholar, everybody who's in the press,

they're going to come back.

And they're going to say, you know what, that was really a mistake when we did all of that.

That was really bad.

And we shouldn't have done that.

And it was a really troubled time.

We didn't know exactly what we were doing.

And you can't blame us now.

And we'll never do that again.

And the cycle will repeat, but at least you know that all of this nonsense is going to be corrected at some point.

And your name, my name, might be run through the mud, but

it doesn't matter.

He didn't do it for the statue.

He didn't do it for his name to live on forever.

He did it just because it's right.

And that's exactly the reason you and I do what we do.

Because it's the right thing.

It's the right thing for us.

It's the right thing for our children.

It's the right thing for our families.

So while cities are making up new flags because they just want to celebrate the diversity,

as people are now fighting for

gang members to have to go through court before we can deport them,

don't worry.

All of this stuff, the truth always prevails.

It's just going to take some time.

But look at what's happening.

It's all coming undone exactly the way these totalitarian regimes,

these ideas of progressives,

fascists, dictators.

They all start out in celebrating the people and everybody's all excited about a new idea, but it's the same old idea that ends up in chains

and then

it's revealed and people become sane again

and the world goes back to the way it should be focused on truth

so happy VE Day today

ever sign something without reading the fine print I mean we all have terms of service software agreements those long contracts you scroll through just to click I agree.

I mean, you have no idea what words sign every time.

Here's the thing.

When you sign up with most big cell phone companies, you're agreeing to a whole lot more than service.

You're agreeing to let part of your bill go toward political causes that you might completely disagree with.

Abortion lobbies, gender theory in schools, leftist advocacy groups.

That's in the fine print.

You just didn't know it.

Patriot Mobile does things differently.

They give you a great, affordable coverage on the nation's most reliable networks.

But unlike the others, they actually fund causes that you believe in.

And they'll tell you up front.

So if you don't believe in them, don't sign up with Patriot Mobile.

But if you do, why are you still with the other people?

Religious freedom to pro-life organizations, first responders, and our veterans.

If you're going to pay a phone bill anyway, shouldn't you do it with somebody who stands with you?

Switch today.

Stop funding the opposition.

It's time to do business with people whose values align with your own.

So, what are you waiting for?

10 seconds station ID.

Well,

hello, Stu.

Glenn, how are you?

Very well.

What a nice historical opening to the program.

Thank you very much.

By the way, his name, so everybody knows, is Ed Kennedy.

Ed Kennedy, okay.

Ed Kennedy.

He said, This is Ed Kennedy.

Not Kennedy.

No, not Ted.

I didn't kill anyone.

This is Ed Kennedy in Paris.

The war is over, and I'm going to dictate.

Germany has surrendered unconditionally.

That's official.

Make the date and get out.

That's what he said.

And it was so wrong.

We should blackball him for the rest of his life.

Isn't it crazy how things just keep repeating?

Yeah, yeah.

You're more confident, I think,

than I am that we're going to be seen as, you know,

at least here and on earth, as doing the right thing.

You know, I don't know.

I don't know how long you have to wait for that one.

Is it 50 years?

Is it seven years?

Is it 5,000 years, or maybe not at all?

You know, I mean, look at Martin Luther King.

Martin Luther King wasn't accepted for what?

Maybe 20 years after his death by the vast majority of people.

Yeah, yeah.

It'll be interesting to see if that happens to today's

conservatives.

We won't be around to see.

No, maybe I can see it.

I don't think it will.

I think it will.

Also, I should say, though, I don't care.

I don't.

No, I don't do it for this.

I hate the term the right side of history.

It's just that

history is just a history.

History is, people judge things all the time.

At some point, maybe they will agree.

I don't know.

But the end of the day is you do the right thing because it's the right thing.

Our job is to bend history towards the truth.

That is our job.

If you look at a framework and it's just shooting out everywhere,

our job, each of us, is to bend it closer to the truth as we possibly can, to get it to follow eternal truths as much as we can.

And, you know, here's why it's all going to fall apart.

You hear about Walt Disney Company?

Sorry, I hate to say that about Walt Disney.

It's not his company anymore.

Not at all.

Yeah,

it kind of went awry here recently.

I've noticed.

I've noticed.

You know, they threw a big fit about,

you know, Disney being in Florida because they have the don't say gay law, which they don't have, never existed.

That's all made up.

All of it made up.

Don't say gay.

Okay.

So what do they do?

They did everything they could to thwart the government of Florida because they said, which was not true, that they were trying to enact a law that said you can't say gay.

Okay.

So Disney announced yesterday that they are building a new Disneyland

in Abu Dhabi.

Where homosexuality is illegal.

It's not don't say gay.

It's kill the gays.

All right, but they don't have any problem with that.

I don't, what is the problem with that?

I mean,

okay,

so we

stood against Ron DeSantis for something he didn't say, and we stood against that law that wasn't real.

But we are going to go do business and bring the happiest place on earth to the saddest place on earth for any homosexual on earth.

Well, I shouldn't say that.

Iran

might be a little worse, but it's the same ideology.

So

how long does that have to go on?

Before

you stop having the...

All over Europe, I saw Free Palestine spray painted on everything.

And I'm like, hmm.

And then you would see, you know,

the gay flags and everything else.

And they were always right next to the free Palestine stuff.

And you're like,

I don't know if you guys, maybe we should do this in a Sesame Street thing from NPR.

One of these things just doesn't belong.

You go ahead and march for your gay rights or march just in solidarity as a group of gay people.

Around Hamas,

you're going to be mighty popular.

So how long does it take before people are like, you know,

ah, this isn't working out well for us?

How many gay people is it going to take to work for Disney in Abu Dhabi before they're like, um,

you really shouldn't say you're gay here?

Shh,

keep that to yourself.

It doesn't seem like the media ever gets upset about that, though.

There's some level of it's just kind of okay for people in the Middle East to want to target LGBTQQIA2 plus people.

Christians, right?

Anybody who thinks differently.

Yeah, I mean, it's weird.

It seems like that's just okay there.

Unless it's Israel, obviously.

If they were to do something like that, which they don't,

but if they did,

then that would be something that I assume would be horrific and terrible, and it was a genocide or something.

But any other country in that region seems to be able to do whatever the hell they want.

So that should tell you everything you need to know.

I mean, the sides are so obvious right now you know all you need to do is just ask yourself some common sense questions that's it

uh am i with people

who

say they're for gay rights

but also are standing with people that want to kill gay people in their own country might be on the wrong side Might be on the wrong side.

Am I somebody who believes in freedom of speech, but I'm pushing to have freedom of speech just contained to what I believe is true, you're on the wrong side.

I mean, it's really not hard.

Yeah.

It's just not hard.

And that decision is made whether it's right or wrong.

That's the history point I was making earlier.

It's like, you know, we've seen a lot of things where, like, I think in our lifetimes,

things that we...

I mean, like, you know, the Reagan era happens, right?

I think we all kind of get to a point, it seemed like for a while there, like certain things we agreed on were right about about that era and it went well and now there's questioning of some of the elements of that era and it's like that's good again you know some things might be worth questioning some things might not right the but beyond that the point is you don't have the the perception of history changes right whether it was right or wrong in that at that time whether it's right or wrong eternally That doesn't change.

What changes is people's perception of it.

Different people get into power.

People say, well, wait a minute, actually, this was wrong or whatever.

If you try to base your decision-making on what you think

will be the approved solution 50 years from now, 70 years from now, 100 years from now,

I don't think you're thinking about it the right way.

Yeah, because I mean, look, this is a very good example.

The approved solution.

They had one in Germany, and they thought it was.

People loved it.

They thought it was going to be the solution for the future.

It was the final one.

Turns out, not so much.

No, it was actually a really bad idea.

It's bad idea.

Though I will say, look, here we are.

American universities embracing it once again.

So you never know if the final solution comes around again.

Glenn, you might be on the right side of history after all.

I just, that's

the wrong way to think about it.

This is why we have these.

There was a book written a while ago called The Bible.

We'll get into the later.

Glenn Beck.

I haven't read that.

Yeah, you see these long-term solutions.

We'll talk about it later.

Ever notice your dog will eat a dead bird?

A sock a shoe

maybe some shit

i mean i mean maybe even a fossilized taco if it was out there it's probably in the right by the floorboards of of stew's car but uh and then he won't touch his own food okay it's like he signed a contract to annoy you here's the truth you might be onto something Most dog food is basically nutritional sawdust.

It is.

It's cooked at very high temperatures until every natural enzyme and probiotic is completely gone.

And then it's sprayed with synthetic vitamins and shoveled into a bag that promises real chicken flavor.

Your dog knows, not so much.

This is not a dog food.

This is a nutritional topper that you add to your dog's existing food.

And it is full of real natural ingredients that help with digestion, energy,

coat, health, joints, and so much more.

The boring Kibble

food starts to look better than the dead bird.

Hello, and welcome to the program.

You know, Stu and I were just talking about

being on the right side of history, and you don't know what the right side of history is going to be.

You have no idea.

I mean, you can guess, but there are people that are guessing, you know, cutting little Johnny's pee-pee off and, you know, sewing breasts on him is the right side of history.

I don't think so.

And the reason why I don't think so is because of eternal truths.

And there is, once you, once you understand that there are certain truths, okay,

I mean, let's just boil them down to, let's,

Moe's 10 big ideas, okay?

Mo?

Yeah, I like to call him Moe.

He went up, let's say he just went up to this hill and he was like, I got to write 10 things down, but I didn't bring any pencil or paper.

And so he starts writing them on these big rock tablets.

Oh, wow.

You know, and he's like, I got 10 of them.

I could write more, but it's hard to carve these in stone.

10 will get you there, Mo Sidaway.

If we just had Mo's top 10 hits and we lived them,

it makes life so easy.

It really does.

I remember before I became a Christian and before I really was practicing my faith,

I thought, oh my gosh, there's so many rules.

So many what?

I got to what?

I can't say what.

I can't feel what.

and you feel like you're overwhelmed with rules it is the most freeing thing ever

it takes a lot of the complication out of the decision-making process that's for sure it does hey you want to go out and do no

well what about this no you know she's kind of hot you could probably sleep no

Who's gonna know?

No.

I know, right?

No.

I mean, at least what you should be trying to do.

Right.

Everyone hits that standard, of course.

Hey, maybe we should stand up for yes.

Maybe we should help yes.

Maybe we should exploit no.

I mean, it is so easy.

And it takes all the pressure out of you and takes, it simplifies everything.

You're not making the decision based on...

Religion is for the simple-minded, Stu.

Well, you know,

pretty simple-minded.

I don't know.

But, I mean, I think it's like a lot of people wind up.

I think there's a lot of this in politics where you're kind of playing this game of like, what will this look like in this amount of time when I'm going to get re-elected?

Uh, in 20 years, what are, what are, what's history going to think of me?

You know, that's not the right way to make a decision.

Well, you know, I don't mind that you look at it from a historic, I mean, I, as a, you know, wannabe historian,

you look at things in history, and the reason why you learn, you're supposed to learn all these things is not for the dates and the names.

I don't care about the ocean blue in 1492.

That's not the important part of the story, unless you want to realize why those ships were available, because there was also a Jewish extermination done by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in the same year of 1492.

Then maybe the date is important because it ties you to other things that seem to repeat all the time.

However,

I don't care about the dates.

I don't care about the names.

Take out your pencils, kids.

This is going to be on the test.

No, no, don't take out your pencils, kids.

It's not going to be on the test.

Here's what should be on the test.

How did we get here?

How did this happen?

Why were they, what were they arguing about?

Why did that war happen over there?

Is there any parallel from there to now?

What were the things that are happening then that are happening now?

Is there anything?

Were there any warning signs in society that that was about to go to hell?

That's what the Bible is.

The Bible is just a collection of stories.

Honestly, when you read it, you're like, you're the dumbest people alive.

What is wrong with you?

25 pages ago, you were all wiped out for the very same thing.

And then people are like, nope, I don't remember that.

And you think to yourself, these people are so stupid.

It was three chapters ago.

That's us.

That's us.

Three chapters ago, we were fighting World War II

with the same exact...

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm telling you right now that a man can have a baby.

You don't think that happened?

Look it up.

Look it up.

The University of Sexology in Berlin.

That's why the book burning happened.

Did you know that?

That's why homosexuals should be afraid of Nazis and Christians because they did this whole crazy, I'm going to sew a uterus into a man and then I'm going to make all of these documents and these books and I'm going to write about it and I'm going to put it into the schools

and have it taught to all of the children in Berlin.

And the Christians were like, no, we should stop this.

And nothing stopped.

And so what happens?

Somebody always rises to the top like, you know what?

Trust me, I'll stop it.

And so the Christians went to the Nazis and they were like, We can control them.

I mean, we're just going to use them for this thing.

They'll help us get it.

And it was the Nazis that went in, and the first books that were burned were all of the books that are in our schools again now.

So, if you're a homosexual, you have an absolute right

and you have

a pretty good reason to distrust the Nazis and to distrust

any Christian that is like, you know what, the ends justify the means.

I think we need to pair up with these people.

No.

What does an internal truth tell you?

The ends never

justify the means.

That is the number one thing that Sololinsky taught.

A book, by the way, dedicated to Satan.

What's the biggest thing you take?

The ends justify the means.

They never do.

There's an internal truth.

Just live with that one.

Just that one.

Forget about Mo.

Forget about Mo.

Just that one.

The ends never

justify the means.

Which leads you to just

do the next right

thing.

You, can I?

You You listen to me every day.

Do you know how many people I just want to go off on all the time?

I mean, I really wanted to walk into that channel store I told you about yesterday and say, you know, Coco channel,

she was a Nazi.

But I didn't.

I didn't.

I don't have to do that.

Even when

you are

right in the argument, The next right thing is to not pound people.

It's not, because our other eternal truth is treat others like you would have them treat you.

I don't want people treating me like that.

If I'm wrong, I don't want them to come and pound me and make me into a pariah.

I would love for them to come to me and go, hey, Glenn, Glenn, Glenn, I know you.

I know, I know you're a logical person.

I don't think like you do, but I want to just talk to you about how did you get here?

Oh,

I see.

see.

Wow, I didn't know that about you.

I didn't know.

I see how you're connecting that now.

Well, help me out.

If I would say to you, no, instead of connecting that, have you thought about connecting it this way,

then I can have a conversation and I can get better.

That's what we're supposed to be doing.

I have no idea why I'm talking to you about this.

This is not on my list of things to say to you today.

But

maybe somebody needs to hear it.

Maybe I need to hear it.

Maybe I'm only talking to an audience of one.

But the ends never justify the means and just do the next right thing.

I think it's true.

And I think it does apply to our day-to-day

politics and life as well.

I mean, you think about, think of how far the right and big companies went embracing a lot of the DEI stuff that we've talked about over the years.

And it was not a principle of, wait a minute, we're judging people.

We shouldn't be judging people by the color of their skin.

We all know that's wrong.

People abandoned that because they were like, well, look where the things are going.

Let's get on the right side of history here.

We don't want to be the last one who implements these policies.

We don't want to be the last one out there saying that men can't really be women and women can't really be men.

We don't want to be punished for not putting the black square up.

Right.

Right.

We want to make sure that Instagram feed is right.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Anything good come from fear?

If you are operating in the world of fear,

are you going to be doing the next right thing?

Are you capable of even seeing what the next right thing is if you just have your head down all the time and just, I don't want to get hit.

I don't want to get hit.

I don't want to get hit.

How?

I mean, yeah.

I mean, you've, and you have talked about, I know this is not the point you're making, but sometimes there is a, fears can be very useful when your building's on fire.

That's the big, we talked about this book last week or the week before, thinking fast and slow, right?

Your brain works in two different ways.

There's those fast decisions that you're making.

Those are the instincts, the fight or flight, right?

Those things are important to people.

If you exist in that world all the time and you don't embrace the other side of your brain that's thinking slowly, methodically, logically.

You're nothing more than an animal.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

And animals eat their young.

I just want to throw that one out there.

I mean, here's, here's, you want to talk about just do the next right thing?

Let me play cut one.

This is Pam Bondi

about the Epstein case.

Listen to this.

Yeah, the FBI, they're reviewing, there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.

And there are hundreds of victims.

And no one victim will ever get released.

It's just the volume.

And that's what they're going through right now.

The FBI is diligently going through that.

I haven't seen that statement, but I'll call him later and find out.

Okay.

So

in today's world, well, no, that's just manboy love.

That's just, what do they call that now?

What is it?

It was manboy love.

Now it's...

Oh, yeah, there's a weird term for it now.

You know, youthful attracted adults or

something like that.

Maps, right?

Maps.

Minor attracted persons.

Yeah, maps.

What a bunch of bullcrap.

If that isn't, let me think my way through this so I can touch little children,

I mean, please.

And if that turns out to be the right side of history, I don't want to be on it.

You make that decision based on other things.

Yeah.

It's always wrong.

And, you know, I'm not going to judge it.

Well, I might judge you, but I

should judge that one.

I feel like.

I'm going to judge you on that one.

But I'm not the final say on that one.

There's another judge coming, you know, at some point, and there was something about a millstone, but that's different.

I just want to bring it back to Pam Bondi here.

Pam Bondi, I think, and this was the benefit of the doubt I gave her, and this shows me that maybe this is why they didn't release the Epstein files, because they are building cases.

Now, if you're building a case against Epstein, is that the next right thing?

She is saying that they are reviewing tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children.

Now, I don't think he was with tens of thousands of

I didn't hear the word perpetrator come from her.

I heard the word victims.

I heard her say tens of thousands of videos.

I heard her use the words child porn, and I heard her use the word Epstein.

I did not hear the words that had anything to do with others involved.

And that's the next right thing.

The next right thing is we're going through these because we want to protect all of the kids that were, you know, abused.

But the best way to protect them is A, not release their faces and their identity.

But also, there were other people in those videos abusing those kids or taking the videos.

And the FBI is currently building cases against those tens of thousands of people.

That's what has to happen.

And I'm waiting because

that's the right side of history.

And I'm waiting for that to actually happen.

Because when that happens, your trust in our system will grow just a little bit.

Our system needs to replant seeds in good, fertile, tilled soil that says, nope, this is a good seed now, justice, and plant it again.

And over time, that will grow.

And that's how we restore our nation.

Let me tell you about Z Factor.

According to legend, there is a secret council of immortal beings that meet once a millennium who make a single universal decision.

And that decision is who will be the most exhausted human on earth?

Right.

And this year they picked you, unfortunately.

I don't know.

I mean, if you're sleeping like a crook, hiding from justice, you flip your pillow 16 times, you know, you try that thing where you count breaths until you ascend to a higher plane of Zen or that never really.

Oh,

how about the sound machine that brings rainfall on a tin roof?

No, it just makes me want to pee, but thank you.

More Glenn Beck coming up next.

You know, you work hard to build a future for your family.

You save, you invest, you plan.

But what if the money that you're setting aside for your future is actually fighting against everything you believe in?

We were just talking about this.

And the truth is, you know, Americans have no idea where their investments are going.

If you've got a 401k, an IRA, a college fund, chances are it's kind of being funneled into some corporation that is actively promoting policies and causes.

Just because I'm an investor unknowingly into pornhub.

That might be a good example.

You might want to look into that one a little bit.

It's kind of like planting a garden and then paying someone to salt the soil.

That's not what you want to do, right?

Constitution Wealth exists to fix that problem.

They're a faith-driven, biblically responsible investment firm that helps you align your money with your values.

That should be a basic concept, but we don't think about it all that often.

You're not just investing in a return, right?

Like you want more than that.

You're investing with intention.

And the best part is they don't ask you to sacrifice performance to stand on principle.

You still need to make money.

You still need to retire.

But you can do both because wisdom, discernment, and sound financial strategy shouldn't be at odds with your convictions.

When you partner with Constitution Wealth, you're taking back control.

I think you're really going to like these people.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

You were talking about Disney a little earlier and how obviously they kind of have abandoned everything that Walt stood for.

Every single?

No?

No, Walt believed in feet.

He did believe it.

He had a couple of people.

The characters still have feet in hand.

That's true.

So, yeah.

In most circumstances, they do.

But

have you seen this, Nate Bargettsi?

Yeah, yeah.

We've been talking about this a little bit.

There's a story out about this today.

And I just, I really like that.

A comedian, by the way, he's very funny.

Very funny.

But he's talking about this, and he basically kind of hits themes that it sounds like you could come out of your mouth.

But he's basically saying, like, you know, Disney's like, there's this company now, and they're run by a businessman.

They don't care about their customers anymore.

No, they don't.

And like, there could be a balance between, you know, sometimes you have that, I don't know, snobby sort of entertainment.

He mentioned succession and there.

But you also need like the king of queens.

You need shows that people actually just enjoy and maybe instead of doing it for yourself you're doing it for the customer for the people coming and paying for the

cause you're doing your cause is the customer the person that is listening the person that is watching

you know it's easy to forget ammo You buy a couple of boxes, you tuck them in a closet, you tell yourself I'm going to pick up more later.

Maybe you mean to keep a stockpile, but then life happens and you don't do it.

And then when you remember it, you're like, oh, geez, price of ammo.

The only reason why you're remembering it is because either you just expended all of it or you're going in because ammo is, there's a shortage.

And now the prices are jacked up.

This is where Ammo Squared comes in.

You don't want to miss it.

She's just introduced a bill to completely repeal the Patriot Act.

We go there in just a few minutes.

And the worst part?

He's not even cool like you are.

You know what I'm saying?

He's buying $82 sweatpants.

He's ordering spinach smoothies.

Don't do that with my name, dude.

This is the horror of identity theft.

Some random person takes over your life and absolutely trashes everything about you.

That's why you need Life Lock.

Well, hello to Stupre Gear.

Glenn.

Executive Producer on the program.

How are you, sir?

Very well.

How are you?

Well, I'm pretty good.

I'm pretty good.

Hopefully, some good news today, it seems like, in the economy.

Coming up here in a few minutes.

Okay, so

Trump is talking tariffs with the EU.

They're supposed to announce something groundbreaking.

With the UK.

I'm sorry, yeah, with the UK.

And

so the UK is at the White House, and they're supposed to, you know, tell us some major, major announcement, which would be great if we could get

cheaper toffee

or whatever, you know.

We do a lot of trade with the UK, and it's

a good thing, right?

There's a Jaguar?

Right, yeah.

There's a big car situation both ways, by the way, on that.

They had tariffs on our automobiles,

and we don't import nearly as many as we should in there.

So, going cars going both ways, there's not a lot.

I mean, the British engineering of automobiles as a owner of an MG, I can tell you,

as a a former owner of an old Jaguar, not really good.

But look, we should have a really free trade relationship with Great Britain.

We should.

It's been in the works for a long time.

It almost been agreed on a million times.

I'm glad that we...

What do you think it's going to be?

I hope it's that.

I mean, again, you know.

You hope it's what?

A free trade agreement.

where we're knocking out all these tariffs and, you know, and able to

exchange goods.

I think it's great.

Now, I mean, that's not what everybody thinks, obviously.

And that tends to be our view of how the economy should work, particularly with our allies.

That's not how everybody believes.

I mean, this will do nothing to bring manufacturing jobs back

if that's what this is, is a situation where we're lowering tariffs on everything.

I mean,

that's not the way I was looking at that as a goal.

A lot of people do have that goal, though, so important to acknowledge it.

But I think what we'll probably get here is a really

good improvement in our trade relationship with the UK, and that's great.

That's what I wanted at the beginning, and I hope that's what we get.

Besides cars, what do we get from the UK, really?

Look this up.

Look this up.

What are the big...

Because I can't think of a single thing.

British Teddy Bears.

Yeah, well, that's a big one.

It was British Teddy Bears.

You know, what's that teddy bear movie?

That stupid...

Paddington?

Paddington.

By the way, Paddington.

the highest rated movie of all time did you know this the best reviewed movie of all time paddington 2 reviewed movie the best reviewed movie of all time i didn't see one will i understand paddington 2 i would assume you would okay it's about a talking bear right you know in a ringed in with a guy from downtown abbey i mean what what does that movie not have you know right now you're like oh glenn i didn't know it was a about a talking teddy bear with a guy from downtown abbey how did

How did I miss it?

Yeah.

You know?

No, but that is an actual, I mean, and I think they did wind up finding one negative review from multiple years ago, which changed this from a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating to 99.

But like, Paddington 2, for whatever reason, is like apparently the most amazing movie ever made, according to critics.

I'm not, fact check me on this.

Is he transparent?

No.

He does have an open raincoat, though, for a lot of it.

So

there's a little bit too much showing.

All right.

It's little man Bear Love.

You know what I mean?

That's all it is.

That's all it is.

Paddington 2.

Well,

as I said, it had a perfect 100% score.

A new negative review by a freelance critic.

From 2017 dropped it to 99%.

So this was due to a review that was found on a blog post.

The movie's top spot was briefly replaced by Citizen Kane.

Oh, my.

But a resurfaced.

Hold on, hold on.

Orson Welles.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I know.

I mean, I know what you went through.

Do you have any idea what that bear went through?

A lot.

That's very true.

But so at that point, it was Citizen Kane number one, 100%, Paddington 2 at 99%.

However,

a resurfaced negative review from an 80-year-old Chicago Tribune story caused the citizen Kane also to drop to 99%.

Same guy?

I think it might have been the same guy.

It might have been Paddington himself.

Right.

Okay.

Okay.

So here's what you're.

Oh, I already did this because I thought you were

giving you Paddington info, which, by the way,

it's the one thing you're going to remember out of today's show.

It really is.

You're not going to remember.

That's how sad our work is.

I just want you to know we go home and we're like, we said all those important things, and all they're going to take home was the Paddington Bear thing.

I'll be out at like a little league practice, and one of the dads will be like, Wait, Paddington 2?

That's what I'll get out of today's show.

Okay, pharmaceuticals and medical products, prescription drugs, vaccines,

medical equipment, and devices.

That's the number one thing we import.

I think maybe we should, I think maybe we should play ball with that.

You know what I mean?

Let's keep the drugs rolling in.

Automobiles and automotive parts, luxury vehicles, a Jaguar, Mini, Land Rover.

Is Rolls-Royce still made in, and Bentley is still made in England?

Is Rolls-Royce?

Rolls-Royce is BMW now?

They've all bought each other so many times.

I don't know.

And Jaguar is

Stellantis.

What is it?

Yes, I think you're right there.

What country owns that?

Is that an English?

And Lotus, and we talked about this, has now making some of their vehicles in China, even though they're still a British company.

So I don't know how any of that works.

It's going to be a lot to unwind.

Aerospace products, aircraft engines, especially from Rolls-Royce.

You know, I don't know about anybody else.

I just feel better.

You're getting onto an airplane and you see the Rolls-Royce logo on the jet.

Feel a little better than GE.

We bring good things to life.

Yeah, but really, I mean, it's an engine.

I mean, I don't want to see Rolls-Royce on my CAT scan.

You know what I mean?

I'm getting it.

We're going to give you a CAT scan and it says Rolls-Royce.

I'm like, can we get something from GE, please?

Anyway, machinery and industrial equipment, precision instruments.

Wow, we are scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

Why?

Precision instruments.

That's the best you can do.

You know what?

All those precision instruments come from England.

What?

How many are we buying?

How many precision instruments are we buying?

Glenn, the economy is a bit complicated.

We buy all sorts of stuff from all over the place.

You don't think

precision instruments sound important.

I don't know what they are sound important.

It just doesn't seem like it's a very deep category.

You know what I mean?

Uh-oh, black smoke.

We don't have a pope yet.

Black smoke.

Whap, whirp, whirp.

We don't have a pope yet.

Now, here's something important.

Whiskey.

We get whiskey.

You know, I...

We have a lot of that here, though.

Let me tell you, I was poor when I was an alcoholic.

Generally,

a trend with alcoholics i have found i've noticed yeah uh you might not start out poor uh but you know the deeper into alcoholism turns out the poorer you become uh but anyway uh i you know i was in the uh airport you know with all of the

you know with all the duty-free stuff who i don't even i don't even know who buys it but uh

i realized I mean, I was so American.

I only drank Jack Daniels, you know what I mean?

And Maker's money.

What a patriot.

Right?

And I kind of feel like I missed out a little bit.

There's a wide world.

There's a wide world.

And I started drinking when there were all these specialty, you know, like flavors and stuff.

I don't know.

I mean,

Sue, you're always helpful on this.

I mean, I don't think I'd be an alcoholic on Scottish whiskey, right?

Yeah, I think yours was domestic only.

Domestic only.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

So,

any foreign liquor you should be fine with.

Okay.

Then Then the next thing is financial and professional services.

What?

That's our thing.

Glenn,

that's not how things work.

No, that's our thing.

We said

we're going to stop selling stuff, but we'll provide financial services.

And now the UK is horning in.

I want them out of our space.

You'll be surprised to hear that London has been a financial hub for a little while.

Yeah.

It's not a brand new development.

But why, really?

I mean, they haven't been good.

Look,

maybe they were good in the time of like Mary Poppins, you know, and they were they had all the bank executives singing about tuppins.

Nobody knows what a tuppence is anymore.

Nobody cares.

I think I'm understanding your economic research a little better.

Thank you.

Then they get

chemical products.

That again is our space.

Who are you to challenge Dow Chemical?

We make the best.

That's right.

We can make better, more deadly chemicals than anybody else.

Why do they have to be deadly?

Chemicals.

Everything is made of chemicals.

We're making stuff out of chemicals, like cereal.

We make that directly out of petroleum now.

Don't horn in on that.

That's us.

Shovel it in my mouth.

That's us.

And then food and

food and beverage.

Guinness.

Okay, I believe that goes into alcohol.

Well, yeah.

It goes into alcohol and give me something else.

Something else.

Give me one thing.

Food.

British food.

Crumpets.

Don't forget.

Nope.

What's our crumpet intake in this country?

Very low.

It's low.

Very low.

I mean, not as low as blood pudding.

Is there anything I have no desire?

I like, we were just trapped in London.

And if you're going to be trapped someplace by an airline, London's the place to be trapped in.

I don't know if it's worth going there, but if you're going to be trapped there, it's a great place to be trapped.

You just don't want to eat any of their food.

It's kind of like China, you know, except there's more dog and cat on the, on the menu in China than there is in London.

But

they just eat that.

Look,

I get it.

You were poor in the Roman times.

You had to eat the blood and everything.

I don't think you need to eat that anymore.

You know, you're eating the parts of the animals that the rest of civilization has said, you know what?

We're going to throw that away.

We're going to throw that away.

And I just like to,

America needs, I hope our tariffs are high on the food.

I have a list here of the most popular British foods in the U.S.

Now, one, I think, quite clearly, a big one, tea.

If you're going to have British tea, okay, we're importing some tea.

I could see that one.

Number two is meat pies.

Now, I don't know how many meat pies we're consuming here.

Fish and chips.

Chicklers, number three.

Okay, we eat that.

That's not English.

We're not importing that.

Cadbury chocolate.

Ah, bad.

You know what that is?

That's socialist chocolate.

That's what that is.

The eggs?

Oh, Cadbury.

You don't know the story of Cadbury?

Not really.

I know that they give eggs that have some weird gooey filling in them.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, it all started out like fun in games until the oompa loompas are all of a sudden all in socialized medicine.

And they're like, what the hell happened?

Where's Willie?

Cadbury actually started out as a great company.

But what they decided to do is they were all progressives.

And they were like,

we should sterilize people, but

how about we make Easter Cadbury eggs?

And then we can use that to fund our sterilization programs.

But they actually built the whole town and the factory and they built the education and everything else.

They actually, they were really, honestly, this part of Cadbury is really good, as well as the eggs.

But they're, I mean, please.

There's two places that make chocolate.

Okay, Switzerland, maybe a little Germany.

I don't know.

You need a little spice of a, you know, maybe a little Nazi in it.

But there's Nazi chocolate.

There's Nazi chocolate.

There's Swiss chocolate.

You can't tell the difference between the two.

And then there's Hershey chocolate.

Cadbury, nobody likes you.

I?

Nobody.

No.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Nobody likes you.

I support all chocolate choices.

No, no, no.

Socialist.

So anyway, they decided to build this socialist utopia, and the Cadbury Company was like this whole town.

They built the whole town where people could live and everything else.

And now that's how they build these companies in China.

So there you go.

Let me.

You're going to blow up the trade deal.

Let me just tell you about Trump's like, we had a deal until Glenn Beck just went on and talked about Cadbury.

look it up my friend uh legacy box

Stan corrected.

Stellantis is in the Netherlands.

So there's another thing we don't.

Well, I'm really.

I mean, it could be that we're just stalling because we had planned having the president on telling us about.

And so we have nothing right now.

But

there's another thing.

You don't get Stellantis.

That's the Netherlands.

There you go.

The Netherlands.

By the way, we have a trade surplus with the UK.

I don't know if that's important to people.

It's not particularly important to me, but it is something that a lot of people think about.

And so, this is not one of those countries that we have a trade deficit with.

Right, because they're shipping us blood pudding.

I mean, who wouldn't have a surplus?

The people of England are like, please help us.

We were eating blood pudding in the year 900.

They're still trying to make us eat it.

That's what's happening over there.

They're Cadbury communists.

What about, like, what is it?

Strawberries and Cream, Wimbledon, little

Wimbledon breakfast?

I don't know.

I don't know anything about that, Stu.

I'm not one of the elites.

I don't know your strawberries, strawberries and cream stories.

You just went on a 25-minute rant about socialism in Cadbury.

Yeah, that's right.

It's about the working people.

It's about the working class.

Okay.

Tell you that right now.

Not the people who attend Wimbledon.

No, not those people.

That's that tennis thing, right?

It is a tennis thing.

That's right.

It's a good job.

I thought it was either that or that horse race thing that they do where they all dress up like they're in Mary Poppins.

The horse race thing that they dress up like that.

Yeah, they've got that thing.

What is it?

No, that's the Kentucky Derby.

That's in Kentucky.

That's not.

Sarah's like, it's a Kentucky Derby.

No, we're.

My understanding is Kentucky is owned still by Great Britain.

Great Britain?

Yes, that was one of the things that I did.

Do you know why why the Kentucky Derby runs the direction it runs?

I don't.

It runs in the direction it runs as a slap in the face to England.

We run our horses the opposite.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, that's interesting.

See, I didn't know that.

But you don't know what Wimbledon is?

I don't understand.

I know what Wimbledon is.

That really angry guy used to play at Wimbledon all the time.

John Henry, or what was his name then?

John McEnroe.

John McEnroe, McEnroe, that guy.

Yeah, he was funny.

You are,

your knowledge.

I just brought you the Cadbury story just off the top of my head.

Yes, and we should be clear to anyone from Cadbury, it was just off the top of his head.

I don't know.

Anything you read that disagrees with it, propaganda.

Communist propaganda.

I'll tell you that right now.

Are you,

what should we take from this trade deal?

We don't know what it is yet, but I mean, is this going to be

a big sign for more things to come?

A bunch of other countries on the way.

No, I mean, now I don't know.

Did the British burn down the White House?

How come we're not seeing him go into the White House with the British right now?

I don't know what's happening.

That's a great point.

We don't know what's happening.

We could be back in the Revolutionary War Part II.

Who knows?

Who knows?

Well,

that's been fun.

We have

Anna Paulina Luna on with us in just a second.

And she just filed a bill to get rid of the Patriot Act.

Any chance?

More with her next.

This is Glenn Beck.

And of course, the president will walk out as soon as we start with that interview.

Anyway, let me talk to you about Lear Capital.

Ever try to win a game where the rules keep changing while you're playing it?

You know,

they devalue the dollar, but you have saved responsibly.

You invest in stocks, the market tanks on a tweet.

You buy a house, interest rates double out of nowhere.

You pay your taxes, they talk about raising them again.

It's like they're doing everything that they can because you're doing everything right, but they just keep moving the goalposts.

Meanwhile, the people who make the rules, have you noticed they're not really worried?

They're hedged.

They've got diversification.

They have hard assets.

They have metals.

They have insider trading that you don't have because you'd go to jail.

But maybe it's time that you have some of the things that they have.

And that is knowledge.

Lear Capital makes it easy to add physical gold or silver to your retirement portfolio.

This is what's happening all over the world.

There's a run on gold right now.

Gold is what, $3,600, $3,500 an ounce.

That was insane 18 months ago.

I told you, call Lear Capital, get your $4,200 gold report.

Call before it's a history lesson.

Congresswoman Ana Paulina Luna is with us, her first term as a representative for Florida's 13th Congressional District.

She's with us now, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, and she's just introduced the American Privacy

Restoration Act that will fully repeal the Patriot Act.

Congresswoman, welcome to the program.

Hey, Glenn, happy to be back.

Thank you.

So,

I mean, is there any chance this is going to happen?

Well, I think previously there likely wasn't an appetite for this, but right now, especially with the momentum we're seeing out of the White House, and then also you're seeing people like Secretary Gabbard, even Secretary Radcliffe that are doing great and doing right by the American people of the administration.

I think there's an appetite for it.

So I actually just got done lobbying many of my colleagues on the floor and even talking to some Democrats about this.

And so we got a number of sponsors for this, not just Republican, but Democrats.

You're going to see those rollouts pretty soon.

But we're also reaching out to various constitutional rights organizations, civil liberty organizations that are going to be co-sponsoring this as well.

And I think that if we create enough pressure, that we can indeed not just bring this to the forefront of discussion, but also to push for there to be a floor vote on it.

We We just have to get many people to sponsor it.

So I'm not in the mentality of accepting defeat, and I think this is something that has been well overdue.

Have you talked to Tulsi Gabbard about it?

I haven't talked to Tulsi directly about this yet, but I am going to be speaking with her and seeing if she'd be willing to voice her support for it.

Would that eliminate her office?

Because her office.

Wasn't that part of the Patriot Act?

She was the go-between.

The DNI, which she is, Director of National Intelligence, is the one that is the go-between between all of the agencies to make sure that they're all talking to each other.

Correct, correct.

And there obviously, as you know, are many other agencies that were created because of it.

And so again,

in addressing this directly, now also there's an issue of the timing for the votes.

But I think at the end of the day, if we are looking at overall what the Patriot Act did and how it was rushed into law after 9-11 and the end effects of that, I think that that is something that needs to be be addressed, right?

So I actually even talked to Representative Crenshaw about this and he's like, look, I'd be willing to look at the legislation and bill and obviously, you know, he wasn't close to the idea of it.

And I think that that's pretty telling because you have Dan Crenshaw and the House intelligence community as well.

And so when you have people like that are starting to address this, I think that we know that it's wrong and ultimately you have to have someone that's going to help lead out the fight in this in Congress.

And so going back to your initial question, will it eliminate for office?

I don't think it would eliminate it immediately, but I do think ultimately, if we're going to fully repeal it, it will shut down different organizations with different offices, yes.

So is there anything in the Patriot Act that we should have a bill ready to go if you could repeal this, that has some, is there anything good in the Patriot Act?

Some people would argue that there is some good to it.

I would argue that it was a mass overreach and an expansion of the surveillance suite.

Yeah, I think right now I've been able to chat loosely loosely on the floor with people like Representative Andy Biggs.

As you know, he's a privacy hawk as well and a constitutional advocate for constitutional rights.

And so we are open to working with other members to come up with a legislation that could overhaul it yet.

Do you know the history of the Patriot Act when it was written?

Yeah.

Isn't that crazy?

Yeah, so what's interesting, Glenn, is part of the reason why I know about it is because after 9-11, I remember hearing my dad talking about it.

And I remember hearing my dad being really stressed out about what it was going to do to our personal freedoms in this country.

And, you know, that whole idea and notion that Big Brother is watching, I think it's, you know, people say, oh, well, that might be a conspiracy theory mindset.

And I would argue that it's not our job to just blindly trust government.

And as you're seeing, not just with President Trump, but with other members of Congress, and then the more that's flushing out about the deep state and really what's happened within our intelligence agencies, I can tell you, after even just on my own, going through some of the declassified documents, going back to RFK, JFK, and MLK,

that we are seeing that there's been a systemic problem.

And so, when you give that type of power to the federal government, and then it's codified into law, it's an issue.

And so, if we're really going to live in a free and fair society, we have to make sure that we are reversing some of the speculations put forward in the name of safety and security.

Yeah, and this is something that was written to Stu, you can maybe correct my memory on this.

I mean, I'm going back 20 years, but I think that the Patriot Act was written by a guy in Virginia in the 90s, like 98, 97, 99, somewhere in that area,

before we had any problem.

It was

to, and

nobody would hear of it.

And so that's why when you say it was rushed, it really was rushed to the average American and to most of the people in Congress, but it wasn't.

They blew the dust off of something that they had been trying to do in the past and no one would hear of it because it had such vast overreach in it.

But we just named it the Patriot Act and everybody's like, that's patriotic.

I got to do that.

Congress does many things with the Inflation Reduction Act doing quite the opposite.

So yes, there are some serious issues and concerns on it.

And after we introduced it yesterday, I think a lot of people actually

were like, are you serious about this?

And I said, well, I introduced it, aren't I?

So

there is conversation.

And I think before previously where people thought it would be career suicide to even touch the sacred cow of the Patriot Act, I think now people are actually inclined to take it on.

And so I think it's a small window of time and opportunity, but we're not here to

placate to any special interest and definitely not the intelligence communities.

And I hope that people listen to their constituents.

So phone you're up, tell them to sponsor it.

So

you're seeing Congress now with the big beautiful bill.

And I'm hearing that they just don't even want to cut what Doge is saying to cut.

I mean, are we going to see real cuts at all coming from Congress?

And are we going to see the Reigns Act coming from Congress?

Is there anything that is real that is going to come out of Congress?

It will if the members pressure the leadership and some of these appropriators to do the right thing.

So you're probably going to see a messy fight.

spill out into the public apparatus here pretty soon.

But what I can tell you is there are enough of us currently and a slim majority to where if they don't do what President Trump is asking and what Doge is doing, then we will make sure that we hold their feet to the fire.

But it's, again, this is kind of an opportunity of a lifetime here.

I don't think this is going to come around anytime soon.

No, it's not.

And if you guys blow it,

it really will be the problem of Congress.

It will be the fault of Congress.

You have one chance to correct this.

And if, I mean, if you correct it, you'll have the American people go out in droves and say, oh, I actually believe in you guys.

You're going to actually do something.

And if not, I just think there's going to be a big loss.

Well, if it's any consolation, Glenn, and for the listeners, I was at the White House yesterday for something unrelated.

And I definitely saw Soon and Jason Smith and the speaker all leaving.

And what I can tell you is many people

might not be aware about the involvement to the extent of the involvement in which the president has been.

And what I will tell you is I've, you know, I've been with President Trump since 2016 on and off the campaign trail and, you know, seen how he operates, not just as the president, but also behind the scenes.

And he really is the best person to help negotiate this.

So what I will say is there are many people, you are right, that are in Congress that are saying, you know, we can't cut this, we can't cut that.

What I would say is we have a pretty easy win here.

You remember all of those subsidies and programs that went out in the Inflation Reduction Act that were literally giveaways, taxpayer-funded trash.

That needs to completely be pulled back.

But there are people that are weak at the knees with this.

But remember, most bureaucrat and long-term elected officials just want to get reelected.

So if they know that they are facing not being reelected by their Republican base for not doing their jobs and they're in a Republican seat,

they'll vote in favor of what we put on the floor.

And so what I'm hoping for is President Trump's negotiating powers to come through.

But as you're seeing, he's pretty much not faced any losses in the House in regards to what he wants the speaker to do and i don't think that some of these more moderate members that are saying you know they're not going to cut this they're not going to cut that they love this job more than sometimes i think they love their own families and so i think they'll be willing to do whatever it takes for them to get re-elected you know i saw um uh cash patel came out yesterday and he said we can't cut the fbi um the way the white house wants us to cut the fbi and i was a little um

shocked by that because it was cash patel who used to say you know if they we're not building them a a new building.

They want a new building.

They can just go, you know, work out of their cars if they have to.

We're not doing a new building.

And now that he's the director, he's now saying we can't cut.

And there's an awful lot I think we can cut.

I mean,

they're not doing the job in the first place, I don't think.

They're so mis

I don't know, miscalculating and misguided on everything they're doing.

Yeah.

That, I mean, the only way to get rid of these things is to cut the spending, to cut the people out that need to go.

I'd rather be with a group of

80 people that really get it than 150 people that

I don't know which of the 150 people are really on our side and is anybody sabotaging us.

Well, what I will tell you is

I agree with you, right?

The FBI, especially from some of the stuff that we've seen now flush out, and we just heard recently that the FBI was complicit in covering up the congressional baseball shooting that literally resulted in police getting shot.

There is a lot that the FBI needs to be reformed on, and yes, that does have to do with funding.

I would also argue that if their concern is spending here in Washington, well, guess what?

The FBI should probably be decentralized and work in parts of the country where they can focus on doing their job.

And so, I would disagree with Director Patel, and Cash is one of my friends on that, and that, yes, we need to look at across-the-board savings for the American people.

But what I will also tell you is there's this idea that the Democrats are really hoping that low information voters will not understand and that they're saying, you know, we're going after people's Social Security because we're getting rid of fraud, waste, and abuse and that's simply not the case.

So what's going to happen in the midterms?

And look, I think that we will win the midterms if Congress, specifically the Republican majority, can stick together and codify those ending taxes on TIP Social Security and then also deliver wins on getting back a lot of the fraud, waste, and and abuse and spending, right?

And I think that we will, I'm cautiously optimistic because I've seen what's happening behind the scenes.

But what I will tell you is, again, going back to some of these members that are just paranoid about re-election, that is part of what I would say the biggest problem here is in D.C.

So instead of them doing the right thing, right, being fiscally conservative or at least just common sense approach to how they spend money, they're doing quite the opposite.

And they are looking to, you know, again, further their own careers here in Washington.

So what I would say is, again, small majority, the time that we can actually deliver these wins, but also we can't do this if the American people don't actively get involved in making their voices heard to their representatives in Congress.

And because of my social media, Glenn, I hear commentary from across the country.

And what I realize is a lot of people don't even know how to find their representatives.

So you can actually find your member of Congress by going to house.gov and you can type in your zip code and find out who represents you.

And you can actually request meetings from their office, show up, but make sure that they are working on behalf of you and not special interests here in Washington.

Yeah, I have some things coming up in the near future that are going to

be a little helpful for people to contact.

Good.

Anna, thank you so much.

God bless you.

Thank you.

God bless you if you all talk to me.

I bet Representative Anna Paulina Luna from Florida and the Patriot Act.

All right.

Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

Last time you bought a coffee maker, you probably watched comparison videos, right?

You read reviews, you filtered by price, brand, whether or not had it a built-in frother.

All for a machine that was like $89 makes hot bean water.

Now, how much time have you spent picking your last real estate agent?

If you're like most people, you went with a friend of a friend or whoever's face you saw on a local TV ad or a billboard somewhere or a park bench.

You know, only the best people are advertising on the back of park benches.

Maybe you got lucky.

Maybe you didn't.

When you're talking about buying or selling selling a home, which is probably the biggest financial decision of your life, maybe isn't good enough.

Real Estate Agents I Trust is a free service that connects you with those who are experienced, vetted agents who actually know what they're doing, who share your values.

These are the pros that have been through the ups and the downs and the, oh no, what is the Fed doing now years?

And who know, you know, how to fight for you to get the best deal in this market.

These are the pros and you can find them them at realestateagentsitrust.com.

You know, the left's got a roadmap

straight off a cliff.

Let's take the right trail.

Glenn Beck returns shortly.

There's a crime you probably never have heard of, but it could already be happening to you.

It's called home title theft, and it doesn't involve breaking windows or kicking in doors.

It happens entirely online.

Scammers can just find your home's title through public records.

They forge your signature on a transfer document, and then suddenly they own your home, at least on paper.

From there, they can take out loans against your property and drain your equity and make your life basically a living hell.

You might not even find out until you start getting foreclosure notices on a house that you thought was paid off.

This is why Home Title Lock exists, why they created it in the first place.

They monitor your title

basically 24-7.

And if anything suspicious shows up, a transfer, a lien, a loan, or whatever it is, they alert you immediately and put their U.S.-based restoration team on it really fast.

Because once a criminal gets your title, good luck getting it back on your own.

Banks don't even cover it.

Insurance doesn't cover it.

They don't deal with this.

Home Title Lock does, though.

They can stop it before it starts.

If you own a home, this is one of the easiest, smartest ways to protect what is likely your biggest asset before someone else tries to make it theirs.

AI is changing the world, as we know.

Price and coverage match limited by state law.

Not available in all states.

Both ways.

The final details are being written up in the coming weeks.

Just about everything has been approved.

Deal on

so good for both

countries.

And we'll we'll also receive

American chemicals, machinery, and many other industrial products that weren't allowed.

And they'll end up getting products that they'll be able to price.

And if they like them better, and we make great products, they'll be buying those products, but they were not available in the UK.

Furthermore, in a historic step, the deal includes plans that will bring the United Kingdom into the economic security alignment with the United States.

That's the first of its kind.

So we have a big economic security blanket and that's very important and we feel very, very comfortable with that because it's been a great ally, truly one of our great allies.

I mean a lot of people say our greatest ally.

I don't want to insult people by saying that but I can say it's certainly one of our greatest and right at the top and they're the first one we're talking about.

And by the way, we have many meetings planned today and tomorrow and every country wants to be making deals.

And we have a meeting, as you know, Scott.

We'll be going over to Switzerland.

What the President has said so far that we know is: first, the rare earth minerals deal, which was signed by Zelensky, now been ratified by their political bodies.

And so we now have an official rare earth mineral deal with Ukraine.

Also, he says, major breakthrough in the UK on VE Day with Starmer.

He says this is the first in a series of reciprocity.

There will be reciprocity for our farmers,

ag,

oil,

and machinery,

something else, maybe automobiles, I think he mentioned as well.

Anything else I'm missing that you or you're seeing?

It also just doesn't seem like it's really sorted out yet.

It seems like it's

an announcement of a framework, right?

He said the details are going to be worked out, so we don't really know exactly where this lands.

It does seem to be that we are keeping the tariffs on them.

So that, I don't know,

that 10% blanket tariff that has been put on seems to still be part of this, at least this initial reporting, but we'll see.

They're going to sort it out over the next few weeks.

All right, so quite possibly some very good news as he said that there's more companies or more countries that are coming to negotiate in the next couple of weeks.

He said there will be many more of these style announcements.

This is Glenn Beck.

Let me tell you about Oracle Cloud.

You know that feeling when you scan your credit card statement and you realize you're paying for six streaming services, three fitness apps, a monthly box of snacks for your dog that you don't even own.

Cloud costs can creep up exactly the same way, and it starts small, good rate, few services, and before you know it, you're drowning in add-ons, hidden charges, surprise overages.

What used to be a smart business move is now bleeding your budget.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, OCI, it's flipping that script.

It's built for performance, priced for reality, and right now Oracle has a promotion that could cut your cloud bill in half.

But the catch is you have to act before May 31st.

So whether you're building the next AI breakthrough or just having to handle your data without drowning in fees, OCI delivers what you need.

The savings are real.

On average, OCI costs 50% less on compute, 70% less for storage, 80% less for networking.

You can join Skydance and all of the other innovative AI tech companies who upgrade to OCI and saved.

This is

the Glenn Beck program.

I was just listening to Howard Luttnick here just a second ago.

He's with the president in the Oval, and they're talking about a new trade deal with the UK.

And as Trump was talking about it,

it didn't sound all that crazy because I didn't understand.

He's saying, you know, we've been trying to do this for 25 years.

Well, what exactly did you do?

And then Luttnick stood up and he said, let me explain what we've just done.

And it's pretty amazing.

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

Also, Nicole Shanahan is with us.

She is the former RFK Jr.

running mate and host of the podcast Back to the People.

She said something

yesterday

that

I'm not sure where she stands on the new appointment

for

HHS and

also

for the new Surgeon General.

And

I don't know if I'm misreading what she's saying, but she'll give us all the details.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

According to Maha, Nicole Shanahan joins me in 60 seconds.

Standby first.

Someone's coming towards you very fast, very aggressively.

You don't know what they want, but you know it's not good.

Now here's the question.

Do you want to kill them?

Probably not, but you don't want to stop them, right?

In that split second, you're stuck between two options that are both terrible.

Do nothing or do something lethal.

That's why there's a Burna launcher.

Burna Launcher is a non-lethal self-defense device that fires powerful pepper and chemical irritant rounds.

It looks and feels like a handgun, but it's designed to incapacitate and not kill.

And I mean incapacitate.

Up to 65 feet away, you can hit them with tear gas and it will incapacitate them honestly for about 45 minutes.

That's enough time for police to get there.

Burna just introduced their new compact launcher.

I can't recommend it highly enough.

It is great.

It is great for concealed carry.

By the way, you don't have to have a license for it.

There's no hoopsy.

You just have to be over 18.

Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

Burna.com slash Glenn.

Nicole Shanahan.

Nicole, how are you?

Very good, Glenn.

How are you doing?

I'm very good.

It is, it's a, it's great to have you here.

So

I want to ask you, the Surgeon General thing,

are you for Casey Means

or not for Casey Means?

Well, I'll tell you who I am for, Glenn.

I'm for all of those Americans, the hundreds of thousands of doctors

seeking

truth, honesty, and dignity in our medical system once again.

That is what I'm for.

That is what propelled Maha into existence.

That is what propelled Bobby Kennedy into the position of running for president of the United States.

That's why I joined the campaign.

It really is about listening to this group of doctors that did the right thing during the COVID pandemic, that spoke up when it was dangerous to speak up, that lost their licenses.

And so when I hear from that base concern or research about about individuals in and around Maha, I have to listen to them.

And I do listen to them because oftentimes they are right.

They're brave and they're principled.

So the concern I've been hearing from that group of people is that Maha has, you know, any movement, MAGA has this issue too.

of infiltration by different groups that are more self-serving than they are for the movement itself.

And so, just one example:

Casey Means is

a founder of a company that does biometric harvesting.

She's very close with

many of the big data biometric harvesting companies in Silicon Valley.

And this, I know several of these people.

You do not want them running in a government position that is responsible for everybody equally, right?

So wait, wait, wait, what is that?

What is that?

They're harvesting what?

Well, so biometric data is anything between heart rate data

to all of the data that is collected from your Fitbit or high glucose monitor.

It could be labs.

It could be.

Yeah, and then there's all the DNA harvesting and big data that's being done.

So, you know, I think that the base, Maha really came from medical freedom and medical sovereignty and the idea that we have to keep conflicts of interest out of the government.

And so when I

see some stuff going on that we could be doing better, right, our job, and I learned this from the MAGA base, our job is to continue to seek the best possible people for government that are truly putting the principles of this country first, the principles of American sovereignty first.

So you wrote yesterday.

It's very strange.

It doesn't make any sense.

I was promised that if I supported RFK Jr.

in the Senate confirmation, that neither of these siblings would be working under HHS or an appointment, and that people much more qualified would be.

I don't know if

RFK very clearly lied to me or what's going on.

It has been clear in recent conversations that he is reporting to someone regularly who is controlling his decisions, and it isn't President Trump.

With regards to the siblings, there is something very artificial and aggressive about them, almost as if they were bred and raised as Manchurian assets.

Wow.

So to keep in mind, that was not.

I was responding to Dr.

Suzanne Humphreys, who was also expressing very similar sentiment.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Concern.

There's better candidates.

So what's going on?

I also heard from other MDs in the field that there was another doctor that RFK had wanted for the position,

very, very qualified doctor.

And

she was caught by surprise as well

by this other choice.

So

there's Again,

they don't call it the swamp for no reason, right?

And

I'm not officially within the administration at all.

In fact, I've decided to take the path of staying an independent

media person, which I think.

I think, and you know this, Glenn, it's really important

that when you are an independent media voice,

that you stick by your principles and that you're not just a mouthpiece for any government organization, but you're really on the outside reflecting back the hopes and wishes of the constituents.

Yeah, there is, and it's it's very hard to do.

I mean, I take stances against the president and for the president.

And

you always have to balance,

you know, I have my opinion and I'm never going to be bought out by anybody.

I'm never, but you also want to make sure that you're being fair to the people that you trust.

And I know you have trusted RFK for a very, very long time.

And for what struck me on this is, you know, I don't know if

RFK lied to me, which I don't, I hope he didn't, or what's going on.

It's been clear in recent conversation that he's reporting to someone regularly who is controlling his decisions.

That's a remarkable thing to say, especially about RFK, because he does not strike me as somebody who is afraid of somebody else.

You know, I don't know if it's fear or what he's called political 4D chest.

And, you know,

again,

they don't call it the swamp for no reason.

It's just at some point there's certain decisions that I think are worth fighting for when you are in a very and I do appreciate what a very complex political environment this is.

And I do understand

that even within these agencies,

there are groups that are intentionally keeping and withholding information from the new leadership.

So, you know, I fully appreciate how complicated it is it all is.

but there are definitely things that the

base is is you know is like this is an easy one this could have gone better right we don't truly

you know and everyone's guessing what what precisely the smorgy chess is all about and why these moves are being made and trying to anticipate the next one

but it's it's something that I think you know there's there's just certain things that indicate that whomever he's getting whoever his chess coach is,

could be making some better decisions for him.

But Casey, I mean, when I talked to the twins during, you know, or after COVID, they seemed pretty clear on what was bad and what was good.

They both seemed to be good on

COVID and the vaccines, didn't they?

Where's my memory?

They talk a great talk, let me tell you.

I will say I was once a fan of the Meanses is as well

it was only after I received many comments from individuals in and around the transition team

as well as new research that came up and then really like you know when the base expresses these things and provides that degree of inquiry and shows that kind of concern, I think we owe it to them to listen.

Yes, I agree.

I agree.

Yeah.

So overall, how do you feel things are going?

I think,

you know, again,

there's been a lot of focus around food dyes.

Meanwhile, there's millions of people suffering from vaccine injury that still feel very neglected.

So, I do think, I do appreciate the recent executive order regarding gain of function and limiting overseas research

and shutting down a dangerous

and down a very dangerous biolab here.

Yes, and there are many of these biolabs that are kind of flying under the radar.

It is a big step in the right decision.

I am a huge Jay Bhattacharya fan,

probably one of his biggest.

I really am excited for him as he builds out his team.

I hope that he has a very, very strong team around him in the next coming weeks because he's going to need it.

As far as HHS goes, you know, I'd love to see Bobby bring in more of those doctors that have been around him for the last 10 years very regularly because these are the individuals that, you know, I trust these people with my life.

They have sacrificed everything to do the right thing time and time again.

They are so deeply principled.

They will never take a check over helping a patient out.

And they actually do have the answer so I'm hoping to see more of those people around Bobby soon so I'm I'm wondering

because this way I feel about a couple of things with the FBI and and Intel that if I don't see some people in the next year or so go to jail or at least brought in for a fair and honest trial you know I don't want to just scoop people up and just assume that they're guilty but you know if build a good strong case bring it to trial have it a fair and honest trial and let the chips fall where they may but if i don't see some prosecutions at least i think i'm i'm very upset at the doj

um pambondi and the head of the fbi cash patel um and i don't and i'm trusting them so far that they are doing that do you feel the same way at all about you know if i i if you don't see some people go to jail that clearly lied about the vaccines if they don't go to jail, you haven't, you really haven't fixed anything.

You're just eating around the edges.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, I think that really explains it.

And this is why I think it's important to continue to voice those concerns because they're only going to grow amount.

And it really is the American people that were sold this vision of accountability.

And we want to see it.

We have to see it.

I mean, we're several months into the administration now.

HHS, you know, lags behind the Oval Office in terms of getting going.

But

people were seriously injured.

There were many crimes committed against the American public, crimes committed against our bravest doctors, crimes committed against children.

We need accountability.

We really, really need to see that.

Because, you know,

there's a preciousness in this moment.

We have to deliver.

This country deserves that.

And

I mean,

if we can't correct the things,

for instance, Washington State just passed a law where if there is another pandemic, everybody seems to be

claiming there's another one right around the corner.

But if there is another pandemic, that they will have absolute control over what you put into your body and what you do, that's terrifying.

They do.

And those emergency orders, no one's scrutinized them.

There haven't been revisions.

No, Washington State just revised it to codify it.

Washington State just codified it.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So

I'd like to see more focus around that, not Red Die 40 and not Kellogg's.

I'm totally fine leaving Kellogg's alone in favor of HHS spending all of its energy and all of its focus and all of its leverage making sure that we are actually properly ready for the next pandemic and not to cause the catastrophic harm that was caused during COVID-19.

Nicole Shanahan, she's got the podcast back to the people.

It's now coming to Blaze Media.

It's the same podcast that she's been doing, just now as she says, with a wider reach.

Glad to have you.

Nicole, thank you very much.

Thanks, Guy.

It was a pleasure to come on.

We'll talk to you again.

All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Let's talk about the human body, specifically your body.

It's been through a lot, maybe decades of hard work, injuries, heavy lifting, or just a whole lot of, I'll stretch later.

Yeah,

I never stretched.

Now that's when the pain started, right?

You did what we all do.

You start tinkering.

You try the icy gel, then the heating pad, then the brace.

Then pretty soon your body turned into a bad science experiment.

It takes a smarter approach now, really.

And that smarter approach, I think, is a relief factor.

It's natural.

It is drug-free.

It's a supplement designed to reduce pain at the source.

And the source is inflammation.

It combines four powerful ingredients that work with your body, not against it.

Millions have tried it.

For many, it's been the first real relief they've had in years.

So why not try something that actually makes sense and works with your body?

If you're living with the aches and pain, see how Relief Factor, a daily drug-free supplement, might help you feel and live a better life every single day.

Give their three-week quick start a try.

It's only $19.95.

In a few weeks, even a few days, you're going to feel the difference.

Relief Factor.

It makes a difference.

You don't have to be stuck living with a pain.

I tell you,

I was at a fundraiser a few weeks ago, and I'm meeting the people who were there, and this guy comes up to me.

His name is Dr.

Larry Miller.

And he comes up to me, and he introduces himself, and he's an older guy.

And

he says, I almost didn't come today, but I was hoping I would get a chance to shake your hand.

And I said, well, here we are.

And he said, I have to tell you something.

I almost didn't make it because on Tuesday, my son set himself on fire in front of the VA hospital.

That's not something I expected to hear.

He's joining us in a minute because I wanted you to hear him because he says, and he's right, the VA is just not doing enough for our men and women.

The VA sucks.

We all know that, I mean, look at Canada.

You want that?

You want that kind of health care?

Do you want Obamacare?

Because look how great it is.

I'm supposed to solve all of our problems.

Look how great it is.

The solution will be give more of it.

Well, the more you give, the more you'll become like the VA.

And we are abandoning our veterans, and they are killing themselves a at an unbelievable rate.

So we're going to talk to him in just a minute.

Also,

I was in the break.

I was listening to Howard Luttnick about the

White House announcement that they just made.

And here's what this deal was.

You know, he just made a deal for the UK, a trade, a tariff thing.

And they've been trying to make this kind of a deal for 25 years, but they haven't been able to do it because Great Britain has so many protectionist things on on it for their farmers and everything else.

And so it was Trump that came in, according to Luttnick, and said, wait a minute, wait a minute, let's rethink this.

Let's just work on the things you buy from other countries and give us full access to those things.

Buy them from us before you buy them from somebody else.

And so that's what this deal is.

We still have the 10% tariff on them,

which they say will bring in $6 billion

a year.

We have opened up their markets mainly for our ag

and also, I think, for steel and aluminum, et cetera, et cetera.

But we've opened up their market on things that they were already doing.

That way, Starmer wins because he's going to get better and probably cheaper goods from America.

We're streamlining our customs, so nothing's going to sit in a port.

And so it'll be good for his people while not hurting the industries.

because they're a protectionist state.

So that's what happened today.

And that just just shows you,

to me,

that's a good negotiator.

That's somebody who's like, okay, I know we literally they've been trying to do this for 25 years and they've overcomplicated it.

And Lutnick said, and tell Donald Trump came in and said, why don't we just go for the things they're buying from other people?

Oh,

okay.

And Starmer said, oh,

we can do that.

And so that's the trade deal that you have coming from England.

It's glennbeck.com.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

I want to introduce you to Dr.

Larry Miller.

And

I have to tell you, it was the weirdest thing.

I did two events back-to-back, and I had two people come up to me.

One, their son, set themselves on fire.

The other told me a story about

a son that shot himself.

They were both staggering, and they happened 24 hours apart from each other.

And it was remarkable.

Larry, Dr.

Larry Miller, he's an emergency medicine physician,

and

it's his son that if I may let me just let me just read from his Facebook because this is

amazing his his son is you know just left a VA appointment

they're so nice they prescribed me I don't even know if this is Seraqual

wow how nice they didn't even listen to my story just like a robot that hands out poison to every soldier

anyway

Larry wrote on his Facebook on April 8th, Today I heard the words no father can imagine.

Your son Mark is dead.

Yesterday, Mark texted me at 12.34 p.m.

with the words, Papa, I love you very much, and I always will.

I texted him back, I love you too, with all my heart.

I don't know if he read my reply or not, because minutes later the taxi dropped him off at the VA hospital in San Antonio.

Walking up to the door, he shot himself in the head.

I only learned about his death this morning.

My heart is broken.

My soul is crushed.

There are no words.

Yet something has to be said.

So

Dr.

Larry Miller is on with us now.

Larry, how are you?

Hello, Glenn.

Thank you so much for having me.

It's been tough, but, you know, God is good, and we're moving on with Mark's mission.

And so this is what's keeping me going right now.

So tell me who Mark was before

all of this was happening.

I think every father is proud of their son.

I was especially proud of Mark.

He was a loving, kind young man.

Everybody that met him said he was an unusually amazing guy.

He loved God.

He loved Jesus.

He helped everybody he could.

He

enlisted in the Navy as a very young man.

And he became a sniper in the Navy for many years.

He was a sniper because he was a good shot.

But, you know,

being a sniper, he had to do things that went against his personality, against his moral beliefs,

against his ethics.

But he did it because he wanted to

he wanted to

help us.

Yeah, help the country, absolutely.

So he did it.

And then as soon as he got out of the war zone, he said the war did not get out of him.

He began to think of all these things.

He became very depressed.

And so he went to see the military psych doctors back in 2007.

And they placed him on Prozac,

which is an SSRI drug.

And as soon as he started taking that Prozac, he became

absolutely empowered and convicted to commit suicide.

And so he went back to them, they gave him more and more.

And the more they gave him, the more he began to drink.

And he planned his suicide attempt at that time.

It was a miracle that we actually caught him back there in 2007,

but we did and we got him off of his Prozac and we got him into treatment and he improved quite a bit over the next few years.

And he's a painter so he painted some beautiful

paintings that all express different Bible verses and scripture and so on and were very inspiring to people.

And uh recently, uh, his mom died.

He had a big fire around his house.

He had in increasing back pain.

And he went back to the VA for for some help and they gave him tramadol, which is an opioid for the pain.

Had him hooked on that.

And then he felt he should go in for admi admission.

Now he never told me about that.

He kept this from his family, but he went into the VA

for for pain management.

And then on the on the 1st of April,

just a little over a month ago, he went in to the VA

and

wanted to be admitted, telling them that he was suicidal, he's in horrible pain, and they just didn't even listen to him.

And so he reported

in a text to me that they didn't even listen to me, Dad.

They just passed out poison.

They're murdering our heroes, our men and women in service are murdering them.

What is Seraquil?

What is Seraquil?

Seraquil is a psychotropic drug that's for major mental health problems such as schizophrenia and bipolar.

And my son had neither one of those.

He was just depressed.

But they placed him on that.

And

he said it was after five minutes.

He texts me and said, you know, in five minutes, they gave me the Seraquil and sent me home.

Didn't even listen to my story.

And that's when he decided, I'm sure, that he was going to have to take his life and make a very powerful statement because,

you know, during the, back up a little bit,

in the past four years, we wrote a book together called Suicide Stalks the Sniper.

And that was Mark's way of getting out to the public what he had gone through, how he had found relief, and the things that had happened to him.

And so we went around South Texas meeting with different veteran groups helping the veterans.

And many of them heard his story and they got off their psychotropic drugs and they were doing so much better and just putting this together.

So this was something that he had

as a mission.

And so

when he wasn't heard by the VA, I think he just felt desperate and felt this is the only way he could protest.

So,

Larry, you know, we've

World War I, I think, is the first time, at least that I'm aware of it.

I'm sure this has happened in every major war.

But World War I was such an awful war, and the bloodshed was just overwhelming, that

guys came home from World War I, and they just weren't the same.

And then it got worse with World War II, but those guys just never talked about it.

Then

Korea, and then the Vietnam War was so bad, and we abandoned our veterans, veterans, and they didn't come back as heroes.

And

this problem seems to be getting worse and worse and worse.

What's the answer?

Well, you're absolutely right.

In World War I, they called it shell shock.

Now they call it PDST.

And, you know,

it's something that the military trains them to be good soldiers.

In my son's case, he trained him to be an assassin, all right?

But when he got out of the military, they gave him a five-minute questionnaire to reorient him him to civilian life.

Now, how is that going to help him at all?

The military just throws these veterans away, doesn't take good care of them.

They use them, and they should take months or years to retrain them to be good citizens and how to operate in a normal society again.

And they don't do that.

And then they have to go to the VA, and the problem with the VA is that the psychiatrists universally have succumbed to the big farmers' propaganda to give out pills instead of psychotherapy.

Now, years ago, the psychiatrists used to do a good job of talking to the patient, talking to the soldier with PTSD and so on, and finding out what it was, and then helping them to design a plan to get a purpose in life and to help them

with the future.

Now, they just spend five minutes and pass out pills like candy.

And these psychotropic drugs have been proven over and over again with meta-analysis that they do not work.

They're no better than placebos.

But they also have been proven that they increase suicide by at least 2.5% to 3%.

So my question is, why do psychiatrists give out SSRIs to suicidal veterans that increase their chance of suicide?

It's just something that's hard for me to understand.

You wrote a message to the military.

You said halfway through, yes, you should be humiliated, not for what you made him do, but for not respecting him or valuing him as a human being, for not attempting to put him back together the way you found him, kind, loving, trusting, with a plan and purpose for his life.

You need to train him, no matter how long it takes, not to jump when he hears a car backfire or panic when he finds the door in his home unlocked.

Teach him that we're not the enemy and that he is safe to go to sleep in.

that's right

uh that's absolutely right and it's not only mark um

after i posted that on facebook when i lost my son the day i posted it i've got over 25 000 shares and i got thousands of

replies to me i haven't even gotten through them all yet but there's hundreds and hundreds of exactly the same story My son was depressed.

He went to the VA.

They gave on a psychic, you know, these psychotropic drugs and he committed suicide.

My father, my husband, my brother, the story is over and over again.

It's a repeat of what Mark did.

And it's so widely spread, it's been swept under the rug.

We need to wake up to this fact of how egregiously horrible our veterans are being treated for mental health.

And it's not just that the VA is,

you know, just a horrible system.

You also are saying

SSRIs

are

horrible.

Poison.

Yes, they are.

They're no better than placebos on the good side.

On the bad side, they increase suicide.

So why would they use them?

Well, they've been brainwashed, and that's easy to do.

Big pharma has a number of ways that they can create studies that look good for.

But the meta-analysis done by independent

researchers have shown that SSRIs are not beneficial to most people, but they do have a very high risk of many side effects,

including suicide.

So this is something we have to change.

And it's all funded by the big farmer, who spends billions of dollars

in a number of ways.

And they influence legislation.

They influence the big the FDA because they pay for 74% of the FDA's budget.

That seems to me a conflict of interest.

They sponsor most of advertising on T V.

Why should pharmaceutical companies advertise drugs on TV?

Most countries are not allowed to do that.

And they pay directly to psychiatrists to use their drugs.

There are eight psychiatrists last year that received over a million dollars to promote their SSRIs.

That should be a conflict of interest.

That should be outlawed by Congress, in my opinion.

Larry, thank you for talking to me.

I really appreciate it.

Thank you for sharing your son, Mark, with me as well.

Thank you so much.

I hope the message gets around to the people that can make a big difference for my son.

And I appreciate your kindness.

Thank you.

You're a good man.

Thank you so much for what you do.

Make a change in the world.

Let me tell you about pre-born.

Some dangers are obvious.

Others come in a small pill, handed over casually and marked as safe, easy, normal.

This time, we're talking about the abortion pill, more poison.

The new research from the foundation of the Restoration of America is laying bare a truth that the media refuses to acknowledge the abortion pill is far more dangerous than advertised.

In 2023 alone, 11% of the women who experienced, who took it, experienced serious complications.

That's not speculation.

That's from a study of more than 150,000 women.

11%

serious complications.

But we get silence from the media.

Isn't that weird?

Or maybe the word I'm actually looking for is disgusting and despicable.

Pre-born is the largest pro-life ministry in America.

They don't just advocate, they act.

They offer free ultrasounds, compassionate care, counseling, support for women in crisis, and now they're sounding the alarm on a growing health disaster that is taking lives on both sides of the womb.

Dan Snyder and his team are on the front lines, and they need you to stand with them.

On this day in 1945, if you turned on your radio, you heard this.

12 o'clock Binion News, the service of Vinion Optometry.

While much of the Allied world is already celebrating VE Day, the official announcement that the war in Europe has ended will not be made until tomorrow.

The British Ministry of Information announced less than an hour and a half ago that tomorrow will be VE Day.

Just an hour ago, President Truman announced in Washington that he has agreed with London and Moscow to make no announcement on the final surrender of Germany until a simultaneous announcement can be made by the three allied governments.

The British Ministry of Information said that Prime Minister Winston Churchill would broadcast at 3 p.m.

British time.

That's 6 a.m.

Pacific War Time.

King George will speak to the British people at 9 p.m.

British time, which is 12 noon Pacific Wartime.

Earlier, CBS correspondent Edward Murrow in London said that President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill were ready to announce the official news of the German surrender at 9 a.m.

today, but he said that they were delayed because Premier Stalin, scheduled to speak at the same time, was not ready.

We started today's podcast with that story on why that happened.

Somebody lost their job, their career, their credibility.

Over that story, he said people people are already celebrating, but it's not happening yet.
