This is

the Glen Beck program.

Yeah!

Welcome to it.

Pat Gray, Jeff Fisher for Glenn and Stu Today, 888, 727, B-E-C-K.

Economic news came out yesterday, and the Democrats want to blame Donald Trump for again?

Yeah.

It's not surprising.

Can you believe it?

But we'll explain what's really going on coming up in one minute.

If you're feeling crushed by debt, by credit cards, loans, or just the rising cost of everything, American Financing is the lifeline you've been waiting for.

They're not a bank.

They don't work for the lenders.

They work for you.

That means their team takes the time to understand your full financial picture,

which is really important.

And they help you consolidate high-interest debt into a single manageable payment, often with a lower rate and without starting your mortgage over.

This isn't some one-size-fits-all gimmick.

It's a custom plan built around your goals, your timeline, and your needs.

And there's the part that really matters.

You could save up to $1,000 a month.

Imagine that kind of breathing room and what it could do for you and your family.

American Financing has helped hundreds of thousands of people across the country and they're ready to help you too.

The process is fast, it's simple, and there's no pressure.

Just a free call with a salary-based mortgage consultant who actually listens.

So stop drowning in interest and start saving.

Make the call.

So yesterday, Stephen Mirin, the chairman of the White House Economic Council,

talked about the GDP.

GDP is down just a bit.

He explains that and walks us through it.

What you saw is a declining GDP number this morning.

That's a result of the bad economic policies we inherited from President Biden.

Thank you.

You know, inflation was very strong in the first quarter, very strong in January, and that drove

real spending data down.

The economy did accelerate after the president took office.

And I also want to point out that capital investment surged.

Firms and firm investment activity surged in the first quarter as firms started to look forward to better economic outcomes under President Trump.

That's not the type of thing that you see in a sustained economic downturn at all.

That's the type of thing you see when firms are optimistic about the future, when they know why they want to make more in the United States, when they know they want to bring production back to the United States from abroad.

And that's exactly what the president said would happen.

And that's indicative of optimism in the future of the economy.

Yeah.

So there you go.

There you go.

The definitive answer there.

Thank you.

It's hard to argue with that when he knows what he's talking about.

Yes.

They'll still argue with it, of course, and they'll still deny it.

And they'll still blame Donald Trump for all of this.

But what's really going on

is that Biden put us in a bad position and we're trying to work our way out of that now.

Economist Stephen Moore had this to say about the tariffs in China.

But I do think Trump is using them in a very strategic way.

And one of the things that Trump, you know, Trump does know the art of the deal.

China must trade with the United States, Steve.

If they cannot trade with the United States, their economy will go into a Great Depression.

They're totally dependent on their exports to the U.S.

And Trump is using that as leverage to get China to behave itself.

I think they're an abusive country.

I think they're dangerous to the United States.

It's the one issue, the one issue across the spectrum that conservatives, liberals, Democrats, Republicans all agree that China is a big problem and we've got to get tough with them.

And Trump is doing exactly that.

Right.

All right.

I mean, yes.

Now,

the Chinese are claiming they don't need us at all.

In fact, they just made that statement this week.

I don't know, one of their officials said we can completely function without the United States.

We don't need any of their products.

We don't need any of their market.

Okay.

Oh, okay.

Is that right?

We'll see.

I guess we'll see.

You know, this will work itself out over time.

Yeah.

And, you know, many believe that, you know,

that will actually start working.

We talked about it, you know, how we believe that the, you know, the people in China, the citizens, the everyday citizens, are pretty used to now having jobs and social media and being

while it's limited and not a, you know, it's a restricted freedom, but it's still some sort of freedom that they're pretty used to having.

Yeah.

And when it starts being taken away, they're going to be unhappy.

They sure aren't.

And what happens then?

You know,

they're not in a position either where their 1.4 billion residents can make up for the loss of the American market.

They're not in that position.

They just aren't.

I mean, some people are in a better place than they used to be because they're a communist capitalist hybrid now.

So they've gotten some of their people out of poverty, but they they don't have the buying ability that we do.

And so they must have the American market.

They must.

And they're going to find that out if they don't already know it.

And of course they do.

I believe they do.

Yeah.

They do.

They're just trying to put more pressure on President Trump right now.

But yesterday at the White House, President Trump acknowledged that there are a lot of companies who've been making huge investments in the United States.

And

those include a lot of them not American companies, Hyundai,

CMA, CGM, Worldwide Amazon stores, Venture Global, LNG, Siemens, Pratt, Chobani, Bell, Schneider Electric, Johnson ⁇ Johnson, Eli Lilly,

Novartis, Genetech, AbV, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Merck,

Abbott Laboratories, IBM, GE Aerospace.

President Trump talked about corporate taxes and talked about how he's going to help these companies.

But here he is on corporate taxes yesterday.

We cut your taxes from almost 40% down to 21%.

Now we're bringing your taxes down from 21% to 15%.

Love that.

If you build your product, make your product in the USA.

So if you make it in the USA, those chips, those beautiful chips, will make those suckers in the USA.

And you're going to be all the way down to 15%.

And

I think there's never been anything like it.

So now we're at the lowest scale for a large country, by far the lowest scale.

They're beautiful chips.

Those beautiful chips.

Beautiful chips.

If you make them here,

it's going to be beautiful because you'll only pay a 15% tax rate.

That's really good.

That's really good.

And he talked about other ways he's going to help companies.

But our big, beautiful bill, as I call it, our big, beautiful bill, we may name it that actually, will include 100% expensing retroactive to January 20th.

So that's all the way back to just about the beginning of the year.

So expensing one year, you take a deduction, one year, so you can build your factories right now, essentially almost tax-free, if you think about it.

Nobody's ever been given that.

And we're going to make that expensing for a four-year period at a full 100%.

So last time we made it one year, and you had the deductions you'd go from 100% to 80 to 60 to 40 to 20 to zippo.

And now what we're going to do is we're going to keep it at that level and we're going to have it for four years.

So

I believe that was one of the reasons that we had such unbelievable growth.

Also, we allowed you to bring money back from outside of the country.

It was impossible.

You had to have 15 different law firms representing you.

It was so complicated.

And worse was that the tax rate was 65%.

I lowered the rate.

Substantially, but still a lot.

We shouldn't take your money just to hold you hostage, right?

So we lowered it to a reasonable amount.

And we took in trillions of dollars, came back.

Apple brought in a tremendous amount of money.

A lot of the companies here brought in a lot of money.

And the businesses represented today clearly understand that if you build your factory in the United States, your tariff rate is zero, zero.

And you have other advantages, too.

Yeah.

And that's why, what is he encouraged?

$5 trillion in investment in the United States.

I think it's up to $5 trillion

more than that now.

Or maybe more.

Yeah.

It's a lot.

It's impressive.

So that's all money that's going to stay home and jobs that are going to be created for Americans.

Pretty awesome.

GE Aerospace CEO Lawrence Culp had some things to say about it.

Thank you, Mr.

President.

It's an honor to be here representing all of my colleagues at GE Aerospace.

We are today 125 years old, but we are inventing the future of flight.

Today we power three-quarters of the world's commercial airlines and nearly two-thirds of the U.S.

military combat jets and helicopters.

So, what you see here with the F-110 powers 70% of the newest Air Force F-15s and the F-16s.

I know you were in Michigan just yesterday.

This is the engine that will be under wing on the F-15EX Eagle II that the Michigan Air National Guard will soon be flying.

We're excited about what's happening at our company.

We're investing a billion dollars this year, as the President said, across 16 states, not only in our manufacturing footprint, but with so many of the small and mid-sized businesses that constitute our supply chain.

There's a lot happening.

We're excited about it.

Mr.

President, thank you for what you're doing, not only to revitalize U.S.

manufacturing, but helping ensure that the U.S.

aerospace industry, one of our biggest net exporters, continues to lead the world in innovation.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Great job.

It's interesting that that's going on at the same time that the Democrats are trying to talk down the economy.

Right.

They're trying desperately

to

tank the stock market,

to tank American consumer confidence.

Yes.

Trying desperately to do it.

That's for sure.

Talking about how Donald Trump is the worst thing that's ever happened.

A man-made disaster, I believe, is what the former vice president called it.

Oh, Kamala?

Yeah.

Yeah.

She's great, isn't she?

He is.

I missed her.

How I've missed her.

She had a big speech last night.

Her first big one since she lost, got her anus kicked.

Well, a little bit I heard of it was awesome.

Yeah, we'll play some of that a little later on.

But we also had SoftBank's Masa Yoshi-san from SoftBank, and he came up to the podium and said some pretty interesting things

about how they're investing in America.

Also with us is chairman and CEO of SoftBank.

Masa, where's Masa?

Masa, come on up here, Masa.

Hey, up here.

Masa has pledged.

$200 billion plus another $500 billion with Oracle and OpenAI

for a total of $700 billion.

Thank you, Marceas.

Come on up, please.

Yeah, come on.

Good work.

Oh, this is the guy that pulled the stepping stool from the podium.

They did that.

The first time of Trump's administration, we made an announcement, commitment, $50 billion.

We delivered $70 billion

over four years last time.

This time,

I tried to commit $100 billion,

and President Trump said, Oh, Massa, go for more.

So we did that two hundred billion dollar commitment and then right after that,

we SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle and MGX together, we announced five hundred billion dollars investment.

This is the largest investment for infrastructure in the United States, investment.

And I think this is more than the scale.

This The importance is this is the largest infrastructure for the AI, which is the future of mankind, I believe.

It's going to change every industry,

every way of how our

mankind's lifestyle of the future.

I am committed.

US is the center of innovation.

US must continue the leadership of AI.

Thank you very much.

Get it done.

So,

thank you very much, Masa.

Wow.

You're a friend of mine for a long time.

These guys are mover.

We got to say, you are really something.

It's great.

We appreciate it, too.

I mean, that's the spirit.

That is upward of a trillion-dollar investment from South Bank.

That's great.

Yeah.

It's pretty awesome.

I tried to get away with 100 million.

100 billion.

And he said, no, Masa,

you got to go for more than that.

I'm tired of talking to you at $100 billion.

It's not even worth it.

Not even worth my time.

It got him up to $700 billion.

Wow.

That's pretty amazing.

That's awesome.

All right.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the spectrum, as we mentioned, the Democrats are talking down the economy and trying desperately to reduce consumer confidence in America and trying to tank the stock market, which recovered pretty nicely most of April.

I mean, yeah, there was a rough go of it.

It was a little turbulent.

One of the days, the stock market was down 3,000 points or just short of that, but it pretty well recovered for the month of April, which is incredible.

And they continue to do their best.

I mean, here's Hakeem Jeffries talking about how expensive things are in America.

Cost of living in the United States is too high.

America is too expensive.

And Donald Trump couldn't care less.

Whose fault?

He couldn't care less that housing costs are too high.

He couldn't care less that grocery prices

are too high.

He couldn't care less that child care costs are too high.

He couldn't care less that health insurance costs are too high.

He couldn't care less that utility costs are too high.

Donald Trump couldn't care less.

Prices everywhere are too high.

Donald Trump couldn't.

They just keep trying to get, they're going to try something that can land.

Yeah,

they're throwing everything they can at the wall.

So they just want something.

They're going to care less.

Yeah.

We'll try that.

We'll try that.

We'll try that couldn't care less.

Go ahead.

Well, yeah.

Get out of there, Keith.

You know what?

We're going to go with could care less, but then we realized that didn't make sense.

So let's try

to do it care less.

Let's actually use the correct phrase, couldn't care less.

What's he supposed to, what is the president of the United States supposed to do about the cost of groceries?

I mean, yeah, his policies will one day

help them come down because

the inflation during the Biden years helped them go up.

Sure.

But it's not the president of the United States that's setting housing prices or the cost of eggs or the cost of anything for that matter.

Donald Trump couldn't care less.

He couldn't care less.

Right.

He doesn't care how much you pay.

Doesn't care.

The gas pump.

Which has gone up, by the way.

A little disappointing.

I noticed that.

It jumped up like 30 cents, 35 cents a gallon, something like that.

Where I usually get my gasoline.

Maybe you should get your gas somewhere else.

I think I'm going to.

Have you thought of that?

Well, I'm like at one of the cheapest places.

I stopped at one of the cheapest places because I see some others that have gone up even more than what I'm paying.

Well, I paid about, in fact, I just filled up this morning on the way into work, and it was about three bucks.

Well, it's $2.99.9.

So the $3 a gallon.

Okay, so first of the week or the end of last week,

it was like $2.46 a gallon that I paid.

And then yesterday

when I pulled in, it was like $289.

And I thought,

that's,

yeah, that's up.

That's up.

And I also, what really ticked me off the whole time my gas was pumping is that I realized Donald Trump couldn't care less.

Did you realize that?

I was so angry.

I could barely pump my gas.

Really?

Yeah.

Maybe you should have thought of something else while you were pumping your gas.

I don't know.

Like, have your radio play

listen to a song.

Okay.

Yeah, I'm not sure what's driving it.

Is it because we're getting closer to summer?

I honestly don't know, probably.

Which is, you know,

always goes up in the summertime.

And I guess that has something to do with the $3 a gallon.

We're happy.

Which is a little frustrating.

I don't know about happy, but it's better than

better than it was during some of the Biden years.

Yeah, no kidding.

That's for sure.

And hopefully it'll come down even more eventually.

But I mean, we are in a volatile period right now.

I mean, with the drill, baby, drill and energy costs going down, I mean, we're going to get down below $2 a gallon.

I don't know if it's going to be a good idea.

I doubt it.

I doubt it.

I mean, I would love to have it happen, but then I realized, again, Donald Trump couldn't care less.

So it's not going to happen, I guess.

I wanted to get under $1 a gallon again, but

those days are gone.

Those days are gone.

I can't even think.

When was the last time it was under a buck a gallon?

I have no idea.

I have no idea.

90s, probably.

1990s, sometime.

Well, maybe.

Yeah, because I remember having a bit of the big deal when it was over a dollar.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was a big deal yeah

uh now it's a big deal when it goes over five dollars a gallon we're like wow that's really expensive wow it's going up all right triple eight seven two seven feec

Glenn Beck.

Avoiding the woke mainstream messaging in favor of truth.

More Glenn Beck in a moment.

It's Bat and Jeffy for Glenn today,

triple 8727BECK.

You know, there are some people in Congress who are so but stupid,

it's just hard to believe.

And one of those people is Hank Johnson.

And he has been for a long time.

Long time.

Long time.

I mean, I don't know that he is the dumbest.

He's pretty close.

I mean, there's some real competitors for that title.

There are some contenders.

You know, Jasmine Crockett.

Yep.

We've got the lady in Florida that does her

drug out her podium along the side of the road.

That shit she did the other day.

Cowboy hat.

In the pink cowboy hat, the pink dress.

She had a podium on the side of the road in the ditch.

That was the only place they let her do it because

she was protesting some prison thing.

That's awesome.

So bizarre.

But there's a lot of stupid people in office and they keep getting elected.

I don't know how.

But

this is

amazing from Hank Johnson yesterday because

first

you're going to love that.

Okay, go ahead.

Yeah, play it.

Latinos

outside of the Home Depots.

Right.

Trying to get work

for their families.

Yeah.

So they could feed their families.

And I didn't say anything about it.

Why not?

Why?

Because I'm not a Latino at the Home Depot.

You're kind of selfish.

Then they

came for the

Hispanic-looking folks.

Oh.

Oh, wow.

Wearing hats backward with tattoos.

Yeah.

Had to have said something here, though, right?

And they deported them to El Salvador.

Oh, and surely you said something then.

And I didn't say anything about that.

Oh, my God.

Wow, you're.

I don't wear my hair backward.

You're heartless.

And I don't have any tattoos, and I don't look like a Latino.

Yeah, but they came for those people.

Then they came for the

Latinas.

The Latinas.

At home, taking care of the children.

Oh, wow.

Scooped up the Latinas,

Indigenous children, some of whom were American citizens.

Oh, no.

Didn't he say that?

One of whom

was receiving treatment for cancer.

Oh, no.

Oh, wow.

They swept them up.

Swept them up.

No.

Of course, you protested.

That's what it did.

You must have been.

And I didn't say anything about it.

Wow.

No.

Because I'm not a Latina.

Wow.

I'm not a little child.

You are

an American citizen.

Heartless Hank.

That's what we should call him for the first time.

They didn't say anything about any of these people.

Heartless Hank.

Studying on the college campuses.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

The poor people were here studying at Columbia,

lying on their visits.

On their applications.

Thugs

wearing masks.

Thugs wear

them up.

But that

inspired

themselves away and put them in a private for-profit detention center where they languish

at their expense.

Did you say something, I hope?

I didn't say anything about it.

Oh, no.

Because I'm not a student.

Heartless Hank.

Heartless Hank.

And then they

arrested a white female

judge.

No.

State court judge.

The one who broke the law?

Presiding over her

courtroom.

No.

Yeah.

But the thing is.

You're not a white female.

And a judge of fails.

No, I bet he did this time because it's a white female.

He came and arrested her and kissed her.

He was pissed about it.

Right?

He's got to be upset about that.

He has to be.

And I didn't say anything then.

He didn't say anything even then.

He's not a judge or white female judge.

State court.

He's not.

No, he's not.

Then

they came for me.

They did.

They did.

Why are you sitting there then if they came for me?

There was nobody left

because I had remained silent.

Why are you sent?

And they had taken everybody off.

Why are you talking to us then?

Why aren't you in prison if they came for you?

Yeah, what happened?

He should be in Seacot in El Salvador right now.

Right?

Right?

But no, he's not.

He's sitting there.

He's sitting there on the house floor.

Oh, that's agonizing.

He's

a caring congressman.

Yeah.

Heartless Hank.

Yeah, at least I thought he was a caring congressman.

No, clearly he's not

because they came for all those people and he said nothing because he wasn't one of those people.

He doesn't care.

So he doesn't care about anybody but himself is what he's telling you there.

Obviously.

So congratulations on that, heartless Hank.

Wow.

Don't forget, this is the same guy who said.

My fear is that

the whole island will

become so

overly possible.

That it will tip over and

capsize.

Now,

is that a concern then?

We don't anticipate that.

No, no, okay.

All right.

They didn't anticipate it.

That's why there's Hank, because he anticipates

things like that.

That's right.

And asks him.

Happy to have him.

Oh, man.

That is agonizing.

I mean, he's, I don't know how long he's been in office, but he's 70 now.

Oh, a really long time.

But he's been there a long time.

Long time.

Well, this, you know, the Guam capsize thing, when was that, 2007 or 8?

Yeah, it was a while ago.

Yeah.

I mean, we're going on 20 years since we've been aware of it.

He's had some great meanderings.

He's had that.

He had the midget one.

Yeah, what was the thing about midget?

I can't remember, but it was,

I can't remember.

I do remember

there was a whole

ramble little people thing going on with him that's really funny

against

nothing funny about the little people.

No, no.

No.

But anyway, I mean, he's just been doing it for too long, for too long.

He just keeps getting re-elected.

It's so amazing that the people of his district keep sending him back maybe nobody else wants it time after time

i mean nobody wants it so they just yeah let hank have it go ahead

it but what it does is kind of show you just how badly we need term limits because uh

i used to i used to say to everybody well we do have term limits it's called an election right however that doesn't seem to be working since people like hank johnson and others have been in office 30

40 years.

So I've revised it.

Yes.

Yeah.

We don't have term limits, but we need to.

Got a term limited president, but we don't have term limits for the House and the Senate.

Why is that?

I think it should be 12 years for everybody.

So two terms in the Senate and four,

what, six terms in the House?

It'd be six terms in the House.

Okay.

So 12 years for everybody.

After that, get out.

After that, you're done.

Yep.

Now,

if you spent six years, we'd have to decide whether or not you can run for like if you're a member of the house can you run for the senate or are you just done in public office at that point

yeah if you've been there for 12 years you should be able to let's say let's say i let's say i'm a congressman let's say i'm a congressman squeeze another 12 years i don't want to start bogging you down with uh you know this bill that we're writing but let's say we're i'm a congressman for four years uh-huh i run for senate yeah and i serve my i serve as a senator for six years six years and then ten years And then I lose.

Right.

And then I come back and I run for congressman.

You still have a little time left over.

How much time do you have?

Does it take

again?

12 years to reset.

No, it doesn't reset.

Nope.

Okay.

Nope.

And are they separate?

Yeah,

is that a separate 12 years?

That's to be determined

in my scenario.

Okay.

Because until now,

I just thought, all right, 12 years, you're done.

But there's a whole bunch of different scenarios where know, you can know they're going to do it.

You know, they're going to do it.

Absolutely.

They're going to do it.

You better believe it.

They're going to look for any way they possibly can to keep it going as long as they can.

And so, what the House members would do is win six terms in the House and then run for Senate

and try to get 12 more years then.

Right.

So then that'd be 24 years, and that's too many.

Sorry.

No, you can't do that.

So I've just decided in

my hypothetical here.

Nope.

You can't do it.

Can't do both?

Nope.

It's 12 years.

No matter what.

Period.

So it's either 12 years in the House or 12 years in the Senate.

Now, if you want to do six years

in the House,

so three terms in the House, and then you could do one term in the Senate for a total of 12 years.

Can I run for vice president or be, okay, I mean, can I run for president

or be appointed vice president after my 12 years in the Senate and Congress?

Boy, see, that's what they do, too.

Yes, I think you you can.

Okay.

I think you can run for president.

Nothing resets it.

So like

if I was a congressman for like four years and I became vice president for recent years, I'd come back and get another 12?

No, okay.

No, you can't.

All right.

You may not.

I'll just ask him.

Yeah.

So you can run for House, Senate.

Once you've served your term, if you run for president and you win, you can do another two terms.

That's president.

As president.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

I think it'd have to be that way.

All right.

So then any other position, I'd have to be appointed.

Yeah.

Maybe you could go back home and run for governor.

Right.

And then the state can decide how long you're in office.

Right.

Yeah.

Okay.

I like that.

Yeah.

So if you, once you're done in your national offices, if in your U.S.

office, you can go back and run as a governor, but

you can't run for any national office.

You can't run for Senate or House.

Wow.

Yeah.

That hurts.

Sorry.

After I've served so well.

Here's what I have to say about that.

Tough.

That's too bad.

Tough.

You've served valiantly, you know, for the 12 years, and we're happy and we're proud of you.

My constituency wants you to stay longer.

Again, tough.

Yeah, they can't.

Okay.

So

we're going to find somebody else.

But don't you think that would help with the cronyism,

with the interminable power structure in Washington, D.C.?

Everybody gains this power.

They learn how to scam the system.

They learn how to make money.

And once they're in the middle.

They've got the insider trading going.

And they've got it set up so that once you're in office,

it's almost impossible.

The machine keeps you in.

It's really hard to unseat once you're in.

And that's something we got to do something about.

That's for sure.

You know, between term limits.

And the other thing I want is for everybody to govern from their own home district.

There's a thought.

Yeah.

And I think...

I don't think there's a way to do it yet, though.

No,

we could figure out a way.

If only there was, I don't know, like an interweb or something where everybody could get online together and, you know, vote from their home district.

But wouldn't it be great if these representatives, both in the House and in the Senate, had to govern from their own district

so that they had to talk to their constituents every single day.

Every day.

And not the lobbyists in Washington, D.C.,

things would be a a lot different.

Now, you can make the case.

We found out today that they're going to be on for the next, what,

for the next 90 days, they're on for almost half of those days.

Not quite, though.

Not quite.

Not quite.

I think it's almost half.

41 days on and 48 days on.

Something like that.

So you could make the case that 48 of those days they're back home seeing their constituents.

Right.

Or on vacation someplace else.

But

they're not in Washington, D.C.

doing the people's business, I'll tell you that.

Nope.

They're probably in the Bahamas, more like.

All right, 888-727-BECK.

More coming up.

You want the truth unfiltered?

Pull up a chair, my friend.

You're in the right place.

This

is Glenn Beck.

The president says he wants to lead the race to dominate AI.

He's smart and he's playing 40 chess because the whole world is about to change quickly.

But AI is not just about technology, it's about military, financial, economic dominance.

But it's going to cost us.

AI is set to disrupt the global balance of power beyond anything you could even imagine, beyond the atom bomb.

This could be why the U.S.

is scrambling to reclaim all the gold from overseas.

Some say gold is going to be revalued at $5,000 an ounce to help fund America's AI dominance.

Think it can't happen?

It already did in 1934.

We're in a race with China and Russia, and gold may be the winner.

So find out in Lear's latest report, AI and Gold's Revaluation.

So call Lear Capital at 800-889-3070.

Do it right now for your free report.

And when you call Lear at 800-889-3070, you're also going to receive a free gold investor kit and up to $15,000 in bonus gold with a qualifying purchase.

Trump is moving fast, and you should too.

800-889-3070-800-889-3070.

800-889-3070.

It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today.

888-727-BECK.

You know, there's some major companies right now that are rethinking.

their LGBTQQIA2 Plus marketing strategy this year.

That's what they're saying.

They're saying it.

I don't know if they're actually going to follow through.

But supposedly,

the whole Pride Month thing might be a little bit different this year.

MasterCard is not renewing their corporate sponsorship of the New York City Pride Parade.

Look out.

Yeah.

Wow.

Those are big parades, though.

I mean,

I don't know how much money they actually spend, how much these corporate sponsorships cost,

but that could, there's a, that's going to put a dent in uh the parade uh festivities no doubt about it um other people who are rethinking their pride sponsorships include pepsi automaker nissan wow banking giant citibank uh-huh and consulting firm price waterhouse cooper's wow look we still believe in it we're just not gonna give you any money for it i'm sure that's what they'll say yeah we still well then why what are you uh cowards then are you no we're not not cowards?

We just feel that our money could be better allocated to different areas.

Really?

Like what?

Like what areas can you allocate those funds that would be better spent than a wonderful Pride parade in New York City?

Well,

we're introducing

a new service for our employees.

Are you?

Yeah.

Okay, good.

Good.

Is it a DEI service?

Because you're not doing that anymore either.

No.

The larger pullback, however, is the latest sign of a chillier climate for corporate pride sponsorships.

Other pride events in recent weeks have lost key sponsors, including, get this, Anheuser-Busch in St.

Louis.

Okay.

And that might not be national sponsorships.

Those might be just the local distributor.

I'm sure it is.

Gives that, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

But apparently, Smyrnaff has cut back.

There's a lot of companies that are rethinking the way they're doing business right now.

It's interesting, isn't it?

That is interesting.

That is very interesting.

Target, however, which faced boycotts over its Pride merchandise last year, will return as a platinum-level sponsor of this year's New York City Pride Parade.

So Target's still all in.

All in.

Good for them.

Isn't that wonderful?

I mean, they pulled some of their merchandise to the back of the store, and the family members of the founders of Target were all upset over that.

They wrote letters.

And do you remember what kind of merchandise it was?

It was directed toward little girls.

That is

incredible that that was okay for them

to

be marketing that kind of material to little girls or little boys.

In the front.

Yeah, in the front of the store.

Let alone in the back.

Unbelievable.

Just pathetic.

So we'll see what happens and

if they can follow through on this.

We'll see.

This is Glenn Beck.

So I saw this on Sports Center Instagram account, you know, the uproar around the prank call of Shadur Sanders from the Atlanta Falcons assistant coach's son, and the coach was fined $100,000.

The team was fined $250,000.

And we've all seen the draft calls made.

But here's a special draft call that I thought was

fascinating.

Okay.

This guy is one of the most funny

players in the Rayleigh.

Man, are you serious?

Oh, I'm excited.

I'm pumped.

I can't wait, Coach.

I can't wait.

Yes.

I've been dreaming this

all my life.

I'm ready, coach.

All right.

All right.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Going to assisted living.

Going to assist living, baby.

That's fucked as fuck.

That is.

That's just good, clean, fun right there.

All right, the radio show starts in seconds.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glenn Beck program.

Featuring Pat and Jeffy for Glenn and Stew this week, 888-727-BECK.

We have to share with you what Chucky Schumer stepped in yesterday.

It is awesome.

We'll get to that and a lot more in one minute.

You know, when it comes to buying or selling a home, you don't need more stress.

You need results.

And that's why I recommend real estate agents I trust.

These are agents who don't just dabble in real estate, they live it and breathe it.

They're full-time professionals who know your market, understand the strategy, and aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves and get your house sold fast.

Ours sold six months ago in one week.

So those results I can't guarantee for everybody, but it could happen for you with the real estate agents I trust.

These are just really good, committed, excellent real estate agents with great track records.

And this was started by Glenn's team because they were tired of hearing horror stories.

Agents who didn't communicate, who frequently over promised and then immediately under-delivered or who disappeared when the paperwork hit the proverbial fan.

That's not what you get here.

These agents,

they've been vetted very thoroughly.

People with a track record of success, integrity, and satisfied clients.

And most of them are even fans of the show.

So don't guess, don't settle.

Work with somebody who actually knows what they're doing.

Get connected today with Real Estate Agents I Trust.

All right, so Chuck Schumer decided to have a little press conference about Donald Trump and his first 100 days

yesterday.

And it, as far as I'm concerned, kind of backfired on him when the questions started coming from reporters.

So stay till the end because it's a nice little payoff.

Here's what happened: Donald Trump's first 100 days can be defined by one big F-word.

What is it?

Failure.

Oh, wow.

See what I did there.

Failure

on the economy.

Failure on lowering costs.

Failure on tariffs.

Failure on foreign policy.

No.

Failure on preserving democracy.

We don't have a democracy to preserve.

So middle-class family.

Not a problem.

Today's new economic news

showed that Donald Trump is running the American economy the way he ran his family business into the ground.

Into the ground.

Is that how he became a billionaire?

Running the American.

What a failure.

It's a policy that's in total chaos.

One day he says one thing.

One day he says another thing.

Maybe this country has tariffs.

Maybe this country won't.

Even his policy advisors are at a loss to explain what he's doing.

And as a result, instead of all of us

in the world

going after China, China is now has allies all over the world going after us.

Tariffs, a failure.

On costs.

Donald Trump said on day one he'd lower costs of American families.

They are up and up and up.

And the tariffs are making it worse.

Costs will go up for about $4,000 for the average American family.

People of our IRAs have lost close to $100,000.

Small businesses, medium-sized businesses, large businesses are frozen because they don't know what Trump's going to do.

And that constrains supplies and raises costs.

Failure on foreign policy.

Instead of standing up to bullies, Trump is succumbing to bullies.

He's being bullied by the dictators of the world.

And again, he's broken our alliances in Europe, and so all the world now looks askance at America.

Failure

on Doge.

Doge was supposed to bring efficiency.

What instead is it doing?

Cutting Social Security, cutting medical research.

That's just a flat-out lie.

Failure

stopping American

Social Security.

cutting taxes on the rich

and paying

because

it's longer than I remember Social Security

hurting our veterans

total failure on helping American families right right and who is complicit in all of this

you the Republicans in the House and Senate are co-conspirators

they are complicit This guy is pathetic.

They are aiding and abetting all of Donald Trump's failures.

They're not standing up to him once.

They're involved, and they will shoulder the blame.

Finally, on democracy.

All right, on democracy.

Donald Trump is trying to ruin democracy.

Yeah, we don't have a democracy to ruin.

Fair justice department.

Halloween.

stop it.

After they went after him for four years,

he would-be dictator.

He wants to be a king.

And again,

our Republican colleagues in the House and Senate are complicit to this

failure.

Okay.

Donald Trump's first 100 days are an abject failure.

And we Democrats here

and around the country will fight him at every turn.

Okay, that's not even.

That's not the one.

That's not the one.

That's what we

went through that whole thing, and then we never got there.

That's not the one.

Is there another

Chucky Schumer in here?

Because it's where he talks about how low his approval rating is.

Yeah.

And

he mentions that it's like 39%.

It's the lowest

since Richard Nixon or or whatever.

And then...

There's one that we played this morning that's 49 seconds long.

I feel like what we just watched was longer than 49 seconds long.

Definitely longer than 49 seconds.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So apparently we don't have that one.

Do we not?

We do have it?

Okay.

All right.

Let's let's get that one.

Americans are noticing.

The polls this week show Trump has the lowest 100-day approval rating since they started polling 80 years ago.

The lowest.

The lowest.

Even worse.

Even worse.

72% of Americans think it's likely that Trump's handling of the economy will walk us directly into a recession.

Oh, wow.

People who hate what Trump is proposing.

Yes.

I'll go to the questions.

Here we go.

There's a poll out today that has your approval ratings lower than any other congressional meeting, 17%.

Concerned that you may have a liability for your party.

Polls come and go.

Our party is united.

We're on our front foot.

We're stepping ahead That's it.

Going after Trump.

Okay.

Polls come and go.

Polls come and go.

But only his polls come and go.

Apparently, Trump's don't.

But here he is babbling and making a big deal out of the fact that Trump has the lowest approval rating in 80 years.

And then it's pointed out, oh, by the way,

your approval ratings are much lower than his.

They're not even half what he has.

He's in big trouble.

17% approval rating

for him.

I mean, if AC

decides that she wants to have that Senate seat, she's ahead by 20 points and

easily.

Yeah, she'd defeat him right now.

There's no question about that.

He's in trouble.

And he should be.

He's terrible.

And he's always been terrible.

But that is fantastic that somebody asks him about

right after he babbles about Trump's approval rating.

And then that's not a big deal that his are only 17%.

You know, one thing.

Wow, Chuck, what about

yours?

Yeah, your polls are a lot worse than his.

Polls come and go.

Boy, yeah, I mean, it's been a long time since he's been confronted like that for the

sincere.

Things have come around a little bit.

Yes, they have.

Yes, they have.

Also, last night, Kamala Harris spoke.

Thank goodness.

Haven't you missed her?

I have.

Oh, my.

I've missed her so much.

Here's Here's some of what

she had to say.

And now, after listening to her, as if she'd never left.

Almost.

But sadly,

we have seen quite the opposite over these past few months.

Now, I know tonight's event happens to coincide with the 100 days after the inauguration.

That's why we ask you to speak.

And I'll leave it to others to give a full accounting of what has happened.

I'm going to say something, though.

Yeah, please.

But I will say this.

Oh, she will say this.

Okay, good.

Good.

Instead of an administration

working to advance

America's highest ideals,

we are witnessing

the wholesale abandonment of those ideals.

Oh, wow.

Wow.

Did she ever.

did she put the hammer down just then or what?

Yes, she did.

She's angry.

She is angry.

That didn't even make an impact with her audience.

Yeah, I know they had to.

Are we supposed to

go to the corner?

That's an applause line?

Okay, yeah.

I will say, though,

for her,

she's got the right mix on the medication because that was probably the best she's spoken in quite some time.

And if she could have spoken like that during the campaign, she may have scored a few points.

Yeah.

Yeah.

She wouldn't have won still.

No.

Oh, no, no.

Don't.

I'm not crazy.

Oh, man.

Then her running mate, Timmy Walls, Tampa Tim, spoke about why he was selected as vice presidential candidate.

Oh, good.

Yeah.

I knew I was on the ticket.

I would argue because we did a lot of amazing progressive things in Minnesota to improve people's lives.

But I also was on the ticket, quite honestly, you know, because I could code talk to white guys watching football fixing their truck

that I could put them at ease.

I was the permission struck to say,

look, you can do this and vote for this.

And to white guys, who swing states

in there

to fight football.

Come on.

This guy get code talk.

Code talk to any men.

Come on.

I mean,

I did watch

several videos of him fixing his truck and fixing his car, thinking that he was Mr.

You know, he was trying to code talk me, Pat.

Oh, yeah, right, right.

It didn't work.

It didn't work.

It did not.

You did not vote for Timmy Tom?

It did not work.

And I remember him code-talking me about being a coach in football.

And then I thought it didn't work either.

Coaching and football.

And it was all based on a lie.

The whole thing.

Right.

So.

Yes.

That was a lie.

He was trying to code talk me there as well.

Yeah.

It didn't.

And so, no.

He lied about a lot of things.

He did.

Drunk driving charges.

I mean, there was all kinds of things during that time and he was an assistant coach

right he wasn't even an assistant coach he wasn't the coach when they fart when when they first started talking about him i thought okay this must have been a really successful high school football coach

nope he wasn't when you call someone coach yeah you think the guy in charge that's the head guy the head coach the main guy and he wasn't he was not i know if you're playing you know the other assistant coaches are coach as well but when you're out in the forefront like that

coach

they made it sound as though

he was the head coach of the football team, and he ran things.

Yes.

He didn't.

No, he didn't.

He did not.

No, he did not.

All right.

10 seconds, Station 80.

you know for something that never happens uh it sure happens a lot um

another

problem with a uh trans male i mean it's just trans female i guess but an actual biological male competing in a high school track meet what yeah a group of high school girls in oregon took a knee in protest of a male athlete

who's consistently winning competitions as a female.

And so they decided, you know what?

We're not going to compete.

Sophia Carpenter said she and three other females forfeited a competition after learning they'd be competing against a boy at

the Therapeutic Associates.

Chehalim Classic.

One of my favorite events of the year.

Everybody does.

Everybody does.

It's world-renowned.

Jeffy.

The male named Leah Rose won that competition, of course, with a jump of 4'10 inches.

That was enough to beat out the 18 girls he competed against.

Now,

Carpenter, who's ranked number five in the state at her level, decided on the day of competition that she knew what was transpiring.

wasn't right.

She said, I heard that a couple of girls were dropping out in protest, and I thought, oh, that's interesting.

I'm not the only one that thinks this way and knows this isn't right.

And so my intention was

still to take my first jump and then I'd consider dropping out.

But I went and talked to the first girl who had initially dropped out and she told me that she thought about it and knew she'd done the right thing that day.

So then this girl decided,

yep, I'm not going to compete at all either.

And so the four girls together took a knee and dropped out of the company.

After them.

I mean, if they would all do this, we could maybe put a stop to this.

Maybe.

But a lot of times they take the hit from the school and the athletic departments of those schools anyway.

They sure do.

They take the knee and then they get disqualified.

And because they didn't participate, then they get kicked off the team.

Exactly.

I mean, that just has to stop.

It's just really,

it's pathetic.

As a, as a, uh,

a father of a daughter, I would be so angry.

Oh, my gosh.

I would be so angry.

Oh my gosh.

I cannot tell you

how angry I would be.

I would be a parent that you would be doing a story about because

high school parent goes crazy.

Yes.

Is arrested

at high school track meeting.

You'd have a video where she'd be screaming and throwing things.

Yeah, it'd be ugly.

Carpenter's mother noted that she wanted to draw the U.S.

Department of Justice's attention to this issue so that they'll

come after Oregon the way they went after Maine.

And I hope they do.

I really hope they do.

Has Maine actually adopted any of this yet?

Because I feel like the governor was not having any of it.

The governor in Maine is defiant

about this and seemingly sticking to their guns.

So

it's interesting, too, because

a year ago, let's see, Rose,

this person,

competed against boys in the junior varsity category in 2023.

Okay.

And

finished last.

He was so good.

So good.

He wanted to go over to the girls and show them how good he was.

Exactly.

Yeah.

He finished last in a competition of 11 boys.

He was 11th.

Huh.

Yeah.

So

then started competing against girls.

And lo and behold, he found some success there.

I'm a girl now.

Now, look,

I'm not saying that he,

that this person

went to

decided to identify as a female just to compete against females.

I don't know that that's the case.

Although it could be.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Maybe just wanted to win some competitions.

But maybe this person does identify as a girl now.

That doesn't mean you can compete against girls when you're not one.

Identify any way you want.

The rest of us don't have to identify you as what you say you are.

Correct.

Right?

We don't have to participate in the fantasy.

Excuse me, it's ma'am.

Yeah.

God, geez.

So I don't know how we're going to work this out.

I don't know either.

You know, the Trump administration's been incredibly helpful in making inroads on this situation, and they're trying their best.

And, you know,

they've declared it uh you're going to lose your federal funds if if you don't comply here uh but there's still those who are defiant about it yes and that you know then now we're talking about taking it to the judges that are are you know holding up the process on this so i don't know how it's going to turn out because you know they're well you can't hold up funding for this well yeah you know what you can i mean that's the harvard thing too right uh harvard yeah they we're we're not telling you what you can teach we're just saying we're not going to give you any money because you teach this.

You can teach anything you want.

Right.

You're just not getting the money.

It's not getting your federal funds.

And so Harvard is now suing the administration over it, which is incredible because the $53 billion endowment they have, just not enough.

Not enough.

So they still need the $5 billion every year from the federal government or $7 billion, whatever it is.

It's a ton.

It's a lot of money.

You know what, Harvard?

Use your endowment.

Pay for it yourself.

And then you can teach what you want.

I guess you can teach whatever you want.

Do what you want.

Right.

It's pathetic.

They still shouldn't be allowed, though, to be anti-Semitic and not protect the Jewish students at school

because that's

unacceptable.

No matter what.

Unacceptable.

That's the bottom line.

Yeah.

Triple 8-727-BECK.

More Glenn Beck next.

It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today,

888727BECK.

Let's check in with Jeffy and Fat5.

Really, we have to talk about Bill Belichick at some point today because we just ended this whole entire break,

you and I talking about Bill Belichick.

So we'll have to get to that at some point.

Coming soon to a purse shelf near you, soon.

Maybe.

A team of biotech startups want to create a lab-grown leather based on fossil remnants from T-Rex.

And they have this big collaboration between this organoid company, a Netherlands-based genomic engineering startup, a lab-grown leather business specialized in biomaterials, and a U.S.

marketing agency responsible for the Mammoth Meatball.

So this trio of businesses consider this lab-grown leather more sustainable and ethical future for the luxury materials industry.

According to their big press release, they want to avoid, you know, the animal death, the deforestation, the chemicals involved in traditional leather manufacturing.

They hope the T-Rex leather, in particular, will offer the natural durability, repairability, and the tactility expected in high-end leather goods.

Okay.

But the naysayers are saying,

you know, the oldest DNA fragments on record are 1.6 million years old, and the T-Rex died 66 million.

So there's no hope in recovering the old DNA.

And they're talking about how they get it from the collagen.

Didn't we find a mosquito in amber somewhere?

Well, that's in the documentary.

All right, the documentary.

Jurassic Park.

Yes, they did.

They were using dyno DNA.

Why can't they use that?

And they filled in the gaps with frogs.

With dynamo DNA.

Yeah, correct.

So

here they're talking about using the collagen, which is found throughout the vertebrae bodies, but they don't believe that they have a viable collagen DNA from a T-rex.

From a T-rex.

They claim they have it, but that's not viable enough.

So we'll see.

So if they can make it actually a bona fide T-rex collagen and then turn it into that, that's possible.

But again, they're not trying to create, recreate the T-Rex.

They're just trying to create the sort of the skin of the T-Rex kind of thing.

Correct.

And

when they do it with the uh with the dna that they get they usually fill in the pieces we talked about how in with frogs how in the dirt in the documentary yeah they filled in with frogs here they most likely will use chickens because it's uh the most closely related living relative

chickens

i'm sorry i don't i don't know that i believe that i know they're saying that now it's like they're like birds oh they had feathers they're birds they're raining that was in the documentary

Well, much closer to birds than lizards.

That was in the documentary.

Are they?

Okay.

All right.

So we could have

a T-Rex chicken leather purse.

That'd be great.

You know, if they could make it happen.

I can't wait.

Sounds like

something I'm going to be getting my wife or Mother's Day really soon.

You don't want a T-Rex leather purse?

Oh, I do.

Okay.

Me too.

Me too.

Now's the time to get your tickets to Disney, Disney's Magic Kingdom in Orlando, offering discounts from late May through September as the coming launch of Universal's Epic Universe later on this month is expected to draw families away from Disney.

That sure is doing that.

We're going there this next month.

Yeah, I mean, well,

it opens up May 22nd.

It actually opens sooner than that because we're going sooner than that.

Oh.

Because I know they had some people there.

I saw a video from this group, Variant Comics, that they were invited to go see, and their video was

there and looked like it was ready to go

already.

I think I heard that this is the first new amusement park in the United States in something like 25 years.

It's only $7 billion.

$7 billion?

That's what it says here.

I don't know if that's right or not.

Wow.

Is that for all of it?

Orlando theme park featuring the Franchis of Harry Potter, Nintendo, Universal Monsters, $7 billion, is what they said.

Wow.

So better be good.

Yeah, no.

Okay.

They claim, you know, the review

and take that for what it's worth, but they said it was amazing.

I will say this.

It looks amazing.

It looks really cool.

Now,

that means that Disney is, you know,

the Magic Kingdom is like, well, we're over here.

Yeah.

Hey, look at us.

We're over here.

Screw Disney.

Bye-bye.

I know.

And

will that make them rethink the toxic strategy, you know, that wolf strategy?

No.

So then what?

They just collect dust at Disney?

I guess.

They'll never collect dust, but they won't, you know, maybe they won't be

at the level they are now because people are just tired of them.

They're just tired of it, and they're not going to support it.

I mean, for sure here in the U.S.

I mean, maybe the other Disney parks are doing okay around the world, but

that's why they have their cruise ships now.

They're going big money on their cruise ships.

Right.

So they lost big money on the last few movies they did.

Right.

The Snow White was

a massive disaster.

Because now, see, and here's the thing.

There are such crossovers that you'd expect that Snow White does so great,

that's going to drive people to the park to experience the Snow White experience.

Nope.

Nope.

To make and market Snow White was $300 million.

They made something like $85, $86 million.

I mean,

it's really a catastrophe.

One of the biggest flops of all time.

A disaster for them.

And, you know, look,

a lot of people say.

Good.

Good.

A lot of people say, oh, well.

Right.

Yep.

Told you.

Yep.

Have your stars go out and start beating up classic people again, will you?

Yeah.

It works out well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Characters that America loved for 150 years, let's say.

And go ahead, just go out and say how terrible it was.

Go ahead.

Let them know how terrible they were for love of that character.

Go ahead.

Right.

We all were

fine.

We all grew up loving and watching it.

We were doing fine.

Yeah, this snot-nose

person,

for lack of a better word.

This snot-nose

person

who comes in and tells us that we're stupid for ever liking it.

Okay.

Go ahead.

All right.

Go ahead.

Sure.

You got it.

Thank you.

Speaking of Disney, I see where Robert Deushniro's child comes out as a trans woman now.

And she says she was motivated by Disney's 2023 live action, The Little Mermaid.

Oh, my gosh.

Wow.

Good.

Okay.

The new interview comes as Aaron, A-I-R-Y-N,

was the target of tabloid headlines that called her Robert De Niro's Nepo baby, questioning her pink locks and feminine outfit.

And she,

he, not only did they get the information wrong about me, they just sort of reminded me that people don't really know anything about me.

And so none of the outlets reached out to me before they ran their stories.

And that's part of why I've decided to speak out publicly about

my identity.

So she,

so what is the identity?

She.

She.

He.

He was a.

He was a,

he was born Aaron, A-A-R-O-N.

Okay.

And now he's Aaron A-I-R-Y-N, a female

De Niro.

R-Y-N.

Erin De Niro, yeah.

And she did it.

She did an interview with

them,

and she says that black women influence the transition.

I think a big part of my transition is also the influence that black women have had on me.

Now, her mom is black, so she now is stepping into her new identity.

While also being more proud of my blackness, it makes me feel closer to them in some way.

And

Hallie Bailey's hair and Little Mermaid marked a turning point for me for my journey toward liberatory gender expression.

And there's a difference between being visible

and being seen.

And I've been visible.

I just don't think I've been seen yet.

So, okay, Aaron.

Good luck.

Everything works out for you.

Okay.

I mean, I know I saw where, after the story was published, Laverne Cox, who she also mentioned in her interview with them, as being

a centerpiece for her going out.

And of course, if you saw Laverne Cox, you'd know her.

And

she said that Laverne reached back out to Erin saying, I'm deeply honored to have helped inspire Erin in her transition.

I want to congratulate you for embracing the beauty that you are, the beauty that is being trans.

I believe in every fiber of my being that we are anointed, claiming our transness and owning it is stepping into a sacredness that is really beautiful.

Okay.

I believe I've been visible.

I just don't think I've been seen.

It's beautiful.

It's powerful.

It is.

It's powerful.

Good for Erin.

I hope everything works out.

Me too.

She says she's trying to, you know, just live her life and Robert wants nothing to do with her.

She said, well, seriously?

Well, no.

She said that her dad wants her to do, you know, make it on her own and do her own thing and be successful and go out and and be her own person.

To me, that says, I'm not helping you, get out of here.

I'm not helping you, get out of here.

I'm giving you a dime.

No, you're out of here.

I got enough problems.

I got enough problems.

I'm still working.

I'm 100 years old and still working because I got to pay your mother some alimony.

Okay, so get out of here.

That's what that says to me.

But I hope, I wish her nothing but the best.

Rate and review where possible, please.

Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

I'll see.

Well, let's talk about Barbara Streisand.

You know her, you love her.

She's going into her final album, if I'm not mistaken.

Right?

It's her last album.

I don't know that she's her last album, but she says a new album.

This is her new album that

The Secret of Life.

Partners, Volume 2.

Coming out on Columbia Records, who's been her label forever.

Eight-time Grammy winner, five-time Billboard Hot 100 topper.

This is her new studio album.

Features collaborations with Paul McCartney, Mariah Carey, Bob Dylan, Ariana Grande, Sting, James Taylor,

and more.

It's a sequel to the 2014, and how long, well, we've been waiting, I mean, 11 years,

to her 200 Billboard 200 topping album, Partners, which made her the only, in 2014, all right,

her top 200 album, Partners, made her the only only artist to have a number one album in six different decades.

Wow.

That's incredible.

That is incredible.

That's incredible.

So you can still, you can get a taste of the album.

I mean, it comes out June 27th, but they released a song, her duet with Hosier, is already available to listen to.

She does a cover of Roberta Flack's.

What a treat.

Hot.

The first time ever I saw your face.

And I got to tell you, Pat, it's beautiful.

Oh, I bet it is.

I'll bet it is.

It is beautiful.

Barbara Streiser.

I love the original version, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Fly.

She does it better.

I'll bet she does.

She does it better.

And it's a terrific song to begin with.

I'm guessing it's really super mega Doppler terrific with Barbara Streisand.

Great.

Is it a duet with somebody?

Yeah.

That Hosier.

Oh, Hosier, yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Love Hosier's.

And Saul.

Yeah, man, every stuff.

Everything Hosier

done.

Yeah.

The early works, especially,

but right up to today.

I was so happy when he was going to collaborate with Barbara Story Seven.

Oh, you and me both, my friend.

You and me both.

Triple 8, 727, back.

More coming up.

Back, we'll be right back.

Crime is at an all-time high, and it might get worse before it gets any better.

You might already own a firearm, but we should always start with less lethal to avoid the financial and mental repercussions of pulling the trigger.

This is where Burna comes into the picture.

That's B-Y-R-N-A.

Burna's less lethal launchers are equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammunition and designed to incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

Burna, they're excited to introduce their all-new, sleek, compact launcher.

It's slim.

It hits like a sledgehammer.

It's the same size as a smartphone, allowing you to conceal carry everywhere comfortably with confidence.

It fires at 400 feet per second with 41 joules per square inch of stopping power.

To stop aggressors in their tracks without having to deal with all the complexities of a homicide, Burna, legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks and can be shipped directly to your door.

Burna, proud to be made in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn Today, 888 727B ECK.

We're just arguing about Roberta Flack in the studio.

Somehow Jeffy loves Roberta Flack all of a sudden.

Killing her son for the first time ever he saw.

Oh,

I mean, I.

Barbara Stratton, her voice was strong when she did the remake.

And, you know, Roberta just died not too long ago, right?

I mean, did she?

Yeah, I think so.

No, very sad.

Rest in peace to Roberta.

But, I mean, kill those two songs by Roberta Flack were great.

Great.

That doesn't even go far enough, Jeff.

For myself, producer BJ is in here the entire break telling me how terrible Roberta Flack is.

Well, if I had the power, he'd be out of here right now.

I'll tell you that.

That'll kick me out as well because I'm not a big Roberta Flack fan.

Don't you even.

I could easily live the rest of my life without ever hearing Roberta Flack again.

Thank you.

The first time

ever I saw your face.

Oh,

terrific.

You bet.

Thank you.

You bet.

That's what I'm saying.

And then Killing Me Softly,

which she wrote, or somebody wrote for Don McClain

and American Pie.

What a great.

It's a beautiful song.

Beautiful.

I love it.

I love it.

And don't use it.

You're smirching Roberta Flack.

Oh, I never would.

Because,

man, you're talking tremendous music there.

Love Roberta Flag.

Right?

Oh, who doesn't?

Those two sounds.

Who doesn't?

I don't think you can find a single person who doesn't.

I know of one that can go in the other room.

All right, BJ is the only person alive who doesn't love Roberta Flag.

Not American.

I'll tell you that.

I don't know.

Not American.

Stop talking.

I just never.

years ago, I wouldn't have guessed that you've got these kinds of the varied taste that you have because your taste for music is all in your mouth.

I mean,

you've got no ear for music at all.

At all.

Oh, we're done.

What are you?

You and I.

And even the taste in your mouth isn't very good because you don't like, you don't even like the Chick-fil-A sauce, a Chick-fil-A.

It's bougie.

I don't want none of that bougie sauce.

I

It could be like a bougie sauce.

What does that have to do with Roberta Flag?

It's taste.

It's all about taste.

Because I thought maybe all your taste was in your mouth.

No, it's not even there.

No.

Come to think of it.

You don't have any taste.

No.

We're done.

I don't know what your deal is, but we're done.

Maybe we'll play a whole hour's worth of Roberta Flag

next hour.

That would be great.

Wouldn't that be great?

Wouldn't that?

Wouldn't it be great?

Oh, man.

Would people love it?

Glenn would kill us because he'd have no listeners left.

What 888-727-BECK?

This is Glenn Beck.

In the meantime, with their puns, I'll pretend like we didn't hear.

This is kind of an interesting story.

Tennis' leader in anti-doping and anti-corruption said players are not permitted to have a shower before a drug test.

If you try to take a shower

before your drug test in tennis, now in professional tennis,

then you have to be in full view during that shower with somebody from the anti-doping commission.

Okay.

And they're a little upset about that.

How dare you watch me while I shower?

Don't dope.

I know.

And

I will say this.

I'm willing to be part of the anti-doping committee.

What a surprise, really?

If they, you know, if they need someone to

go in.

Yeah.

I'm here for it.

You're there.

Okay.

Okay.

And

so silly.

It's just shocking.

I don't know what that does.

I don't either.

I don't know why.

It's very bizarre.

Always sounding off.

Welcome.

It is Pat and Jeffy for Glenn and Stu today.

And

wow,

we've had some weird events the last few days.

One of them was the Bill Belichick interview with CBS.

It's very strange.

And that's really kind of spiraled out of control.

It sure has.

Just, it's bizarre.

We'll get into that, and we've got a lot more, too, coming up in one minute.

In Israel right now, though, there are elderly Holocaust survivors who can't afford food.

Jewish families living under constant rocket threat.

Children who go to bed hungry, not because they're forgotten, but because the need has grown far beyond what local communities can handle alone.

That's where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews comes in.

For over 40 years, they've been on the ground providing food boxes, shelter, and emergency aid to the poorest of the poor in Israel and doing it with love.

This isn't charity, it's solidarity.

It's Christians and Jews standing together to care for the people of Israel.

In their time of need, every dollar you give goes directly to life-saving help, hot meals, warm clothing, security aid, and more.

These are people who have survived the worst chapters of history, and now they need us.

So if your heart is moved, please don't wait.

Reach out today and be the hands and feet of compassion to someone who desperately needs it.

You can show your support for Israel by making a life-saving gift today.

All right.

The Bill Belichick.

I don't know if we still have that around, the little interview portion that

we don't have it around anymore, but

he was interviewed by

Sunday morning.

That's right.

CBS Sunday morning.

And his girlfriend.

His 24-year-old girlfriend was in the room the whole time.

She was was interjecting.

Bless his heart.

He's 73.

She's 24.

There's nearly a 50-year difference between the two of us.

I'm so sick of people putting an age limit on love.

And there's no way to do that, right?

You can't put an age limit on love.

Except

in this case, I think you can.

Really?

I think you can.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think the age limit is 50 years.

I mean, it's a.

You know, we're okay with it, I guess, with rock stars.

Yeah.

You know, but we're not okay with it.

We're not okay with Bill Belichick.

I don't know.

It's something weird here, right?

It's really weird.

It's because it's just because of him.

And he's a weird dude anyway.

Yes, he is.

I'm very difficult to interview

Coach Belichick.

I am too.

I've been a fan.

He's a legend.

Right.

Even though he fired my son.

But he's a legend.

But

I'm okay.

But he's Bill Belichick.

Yeah.

And

he's got this legendary history.

He's got six Super Bowl wins.

He's moved away now.

Yeah.

Just because he's dating, he wants to date this younger girl.

Yeah.

Not a younger girl, but I mean a younger girl.

Like this girl could be his granddaughter, almost his great-granddaughter.

I mean, it's amazing here.

But here's some of what happened at the interview.

Jordan Hudson, his creative muse, as he writes in his book.

See?

Jordan was a constant presence during our interview.

You have Jordan right over there.

Everybody in the world seems to be following this relationship.

They've got an opinion about your private life.

It's got nothing to do with them, but they're invested in it.

How do you deal with that?

Never been too worried about what everybody else thinks.

Just try to do what I feel like is best for me and what's right.

How did you guys meet?

Not talking about this.

Wait, what?

It's a topic neither one of them is comfortable commenting on.

But that's though Hudson has recently posted about it on Instagram.

You join InstaFace, as you put it.

I love that.

There's some great pictures of you and Jordan, where you're a fisherman and she's a mermaid.

Charming.

It's a different side of you.

It's charming.

That's what it is.

It's charming.

It's not foolish.

I'd like to have these different sort of photos.

There's another one where you're doing, I know you're not into meditation or yoga or Pilates, but you're balancing Jordan on your feet.

He's doing kind of the Titanic pose.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I'm on some of those social media platforms, but I honestly don't follow him.

Awkward.

What he does for Bo isn't clicks or views,

but touchdowns and above all, wins.

You do seem like you're having a lot more fun these days than you were in other chapters of your life, let's say.

I enjoy football.

I enjoy the whole process of it.

It's hard to win and it's hard to beat other good coaches, good teams.

I appreciate the grind.

I appreciate the competition.

But coaching is fun and honestly, I feel like I haven't worked a day in my life.

He did smile there though.

Yes, he did.

He smiled in the end.

Yes, he did.

Good.

Good for him.

Now he's always off limits.

He was taken out of context a little bit that they had agreed to certain parameters for the interview and talking about their relationship really wasn't in those parameters.

Whereas CBS says nothing was off limits.

Okay.

Going into the interview.

So who do you believe?

He says that there was a parameter.

So, going into the interview, they said, we don't want to talk about our relationship

when she's in the room with them the whole time, interrupting them.

Well,

I'm sure that's why it became an issue.

It's because she was there.

Yeah.

Now, yeah, we'll talk to Bill about coaching and being in North Carolina and what's going on.

And you want to do that, right?

Absolutely.

You can't avoid the elephant in the room,

which is the 24-year-old girl in here with him.

I watched her, they were at their spring game, and and they didn't call.

Nobody has an actual game.

At the North Carolina spring game.

But there was footage of her bouncing back and forth.

Oh, she was there

on the field directing

traffic.

There's been some people calling some North Carolina alumni who have said he should be fired.

Because he has a 24-year-old girlfriend?

I don't know about that.

I don't know about that either.

But it is weird.

It's different.

It's.

If she's his muse

uh you know okay whatever you know whatever i know i mean it just to me and that i've you know i've jokingly for years said there's no age limit on love yes you have said that many many times i kind of believe that uh i kind of believe that except that

this time right with this particular case it seems

a little too much

a little much it does it just seems weird it does for both of them

it's weird for her

and it's weird for him because

he doesn't look good in this.

I mean,

the relationship couple doesn't look good.

They don't look like a couple.

No, they do not.

They do not.

I mean, at least

the rock star.

He looks like her grandpa.

They kind of look like the couple.

I get up to their couple.

If it's Stephen Tyler, you know, okay.

Yeah, I can see

Jagger, I guess.

Jagger's woman is even older than that now.

I mean, he's got to be pissed.

She's like 39 or 40.

He's got to be pissed.

Bill Belichick is out doing me?

They're all calling Bill Belichick right now.

How'd you do it?

What's going on?

Dude, how'd you do it?

Hey, by the way, do we need to go fund me so we can get you a new t-shirt without a hole in it?

Is that possible?

I'm sure that was his dad's Navy sweatshirt or something that he could never throw away.

It makes him feel younger.

If you don't know, his dad coached at Navy.

It makes him feel younger when he wears a sweatshirt.

So I don't know.

Will this affect his year at North Carolina?

I mean, people are calling for him to be fired over this.

I will say.

It's weird.

It's kind of weird.

I will say you better win.

He better win.

Yeah, better win.

And, you know, all eyes are

on that team this year.

And you better win big because Mac Brown won, and he still got fired.

All teams are looking to get in the playoffs.

Anything, everybody's available.

All you got to do is win.

And he's, you know, bringing the, you know, his NFL mind to North Carolina.

He brought his NFL coach Lombardi with him and other coaches with him.

And so you better win.

Yeah.

Better win.

No question.

Because, I mean,

I'm happy for him.

I hope they win.

I want to have fun watching them this year.

College football can't come soon enough.

That's always the case.

I know.

But

holy cow.

So Mac Brown.

Mac Brown was 6-7 last year, so that's why he had to go because you can't have one year of that, right?

He was eight and five the year before, nine and five the year before that, six and seven, eight and four.

So, I mean, he had an okay

and okay time at North Carolina, but they want better than that.

And now we're into, you know, we're getting into NIL and portal years, right?

And those older coaches don't want anything to do with that.

Except that coming from the NFL, he's used to dealing

with contracts

with money.

Oh, yeah, Mac Brown.

Bill, Brown, in

Lombardi to handle that.

Yeah.

To handle the NIL and the portal stuff.

And

he's supposed to oversee it all, obviously, as the head coach.

But

so he brought in people to mine the field of the NIL and portal.

A lot of universities are doing that now.

Yeah.

Yeah, everybody's got a general manager now over football and basketball.

I don't know how.

I just wish there were some overall rules with that, but that's a whole other topic other than Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend.

Yes, yes.

It's kind of branching.

It has a little.

It's branched.

You know, because I want Bill to be happy.

Sure.

You know, great.

We all want to care for Bill.

That's all.

That's been concerned about him for many, many years.

I feel like you haven't, though, but I do.

Honestly, I don't care.

I'll wake up in the middle of the night sometimes.

Is Bill happy?

I don't know if he's happy right now.

Well, yeah, he's got the 24-year-old girlfriend.

He's got to be really happy.

Right.

Right.

See, I don't care that he has a 24-year-old girlfriend.

I really don't.

Except you kind of do.

Stop it.

You kind of do.

When you stop and think about it.

And you see him in that uncomfortable situation.

Yeah.

It seemed weird, didn't it?

It sure did.

They don't go together.

They really don't.

Like peanut butter and pickles.

And they have talked about their relationship before.

Right, she did.

In fact, they mentioned that she was just hoping.

I'm talking about meeting him on a plane and all that stuff.

So, I mean, they have talked about it before.

I don't know if she doesn't want to talk about her being a call girl.

I don't know.

Oh, okay.

I don't know.

I'd say I don't know that she wants to talk about that.

I don't know.

I have no idea how they met.

I have no idea either.

Where or

well they met on a plane.

He said they met on some flight from Miami, I think, or something.

So he's already talked about it.

Why can't you talk about it?

That's weird.

That's just weird stuff, right?

I mean,

the whole thing is really weird.

Yeah.

And I want to.

I hope it doesn't cost him his job at North Carolina.

Right.

It doesn't seem to rise to to that level to me.

Not yet, but

if she's meddling in everything, if she becomes an embarrassment to the university.

And

she's not on any of the rosters or anything.

She's just there.

She's just

girlfriend.

Right, because there's been other coaches at other universities, Arkansas for one,

where

the head coach has gotten involved with a girl and moved that girl into the department and got her a job there, and then they became entangled entangled in a relationship.

Then maybe had, I don't know, a motorcycle accident afterwards or something.

Really?

Where she wasn't there, you know, with him.

But then she was.

But that she was.

She was.

So I wouldn't, I'm not mentioning any specific situation.

No.

It did.

Did it happen in the state of Arkansas or it did happen in the state of Arkansas.

Yes.

Yes.

From a head coach who is from the mean streets of Helena, Montana, just like me.

But for sure, Bill Belichick and Michael Lombardi in North Carolina,

you better win.

Yeah, no question.

You better win.

No question about it.

All right, 888-727.

Beck, more Pat and Jeffy for Glenn coming up.

Let's pause 10 seconds for station identification, shall we?

Yes,

we will.

Shall.

All right.

So,

you know, Teslas continue to be firebombed.

What is going on with that?

I mean, even after all this time, when people have seen the fact that Tesla has,

they have cameras all over the car.

Yeah.

They have, I think they have at least four, right?

And sometimes up to six.

Depending on the vehicle you buy, it could have six cameras with all kinds of different angles.

You're going to be caught.

Right.

And the owner doesn't have to be there to turn on the cameras.

The cameras come on automatically when somebody approaches the vehicle.

I mean, it's a great system.

It's really cool.

It is.

I mean,

I wish I had that on my vehicle because I've been hit before and people left the scene and I have no idea who hit my car.

With this.

That happened, but it was here in this parking lot, Pat, and it was not me.

Just

that's interesting.

I don't know why you're looking at me.

You wouldn't get all defensive about that because that wasn't necessary.

That was not you.

That was not me.

Is what you're saying.

Huh.

That's weird.

It's almost like I used to have a second.

If I was

seen who did that, I would have reported it.

So you're going to get caught.

I mean, they're going to turn the video over to the police, and the police are going to find you.

What are you doing?

Yeah, it's really strange.

And I mean, look, the one guy that they let go or they're going to put on trial or whatever, they're making a case that that he

has all these medical conditions, right?

Yeah, yeah, Cut 19, the Tesla firebomber.

Priya and John, the government wanted Owen McIntyre to spend the time before trial behind bars.

But the judge in Boston sided with the defense in this case, which cited multiple medical issues facing the 19-year-old, including autism spectrum disorder, gender dysphoria, and ADHD.

McIntyre's attorney argued the teen should be released citing serious and ongoing medical needs and treatments that could not or would not be provided while in federal detention.

The defense filing says McIntyre is being treated for depression and since March has been receiving gender-affirming care.

That care would likely be interrupted or terminated in federal custody.

Wait a minute.

I thought gender dysphoria wasn't a disease.

That wasn't a problem.

That's not a mental illness, right?

Right.

That's perfectly normal, natural, and in fact, something we all aspire to.

Right.

He should be anointed.

Yeah.

What do you mean?

But the guy's got every ailment known to mankind.

He's got

gender dysphoria.

He had autism.

He's got combination skin.

He's got varicose veins.

He's got the heartbreak of psoriasis, which you do not want.

You need to just let him go.

I can understand why they want to get rid of him.

If you have all that stuff, maybe you don't want to firebomb a Tesla and then you don't have to suffer the consequences afterward.

I mean, it's crazy what's going on right now.

So many of these people who have done these things to the Teslas are getting off because there was just a judge.

We talked about this the other day on Pat Gray Unleashed, which you can hear immediately preceding this show, on the Blaze Radio and Television Network or anytime you want.

on your podcast, wherever you get a podcast, for instance.

But as we were saying then, there was a judge who just let one of these firebombers go because

the judge didn't think that prison was right for him.

Right.

It was another one of those.

Another one of those.

He did have to do some kind of community service or something.

Yeah, but put these people in jail and send the message.

This is not going to be tolerated.

Don't you think?

I mean,

this is domestic terrorism and it's happening way too much.

And you're not hurting Elon Musk by doing that.

Not at all.

You're hurting the person who bought the car, you know?

And

it's absolutely asinine.

I will say where we live here in DFW, where this show originates from, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex,

I have seen

an increase of Tesla vehicles on the road.

There were a lot to begin with, but there's even more now, I think, because people are trying to support Elon.

And okay, good.

Because

every time I'm at a red light and I see one stop next to me and one across the road and one

driving past me, I think, how, what the, why, where do people, how do people think it's okay

just to

harm that vehicle?

Fire bombing.

I know.

Because I hate Elon Musk.

Right.

How do you think it's okay just to, I'm just going to destroy someone else's property?

I don't understand that at all.

And I don't know that it takes ADHD and gender dysphoria and whatever else you're going to say is wrong with you to do something like that.

Oh, just go home.

It'll be okay.

No.

No, it won't.

You know, when John Kerry was in office and he was running for president and people didn't like him, I don't remember anybody, you know, breaking into the Heinz ketchup plants and trying to set fire to

Heinz manufacturing.

You know,

we didn't do a Heinz ketchup tea party where we threw it into a...

That would be on American, actually, when it took place.

It would.

I'm not encouraging that.

Don't do that.

And plus, the thing is, John Kerry doesn't have anything to do with

that.

I think he did at the time.

He did not.

But his wife, Teresa,

was married to John Hines, who owned Heinz.

So he had something to do with it, like I said.

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

Didn't have anything to do with the company, but she did have something to do with the foundation.

All right, much more coming up.

It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn and Stu Today, 888-727 B-E-C-K.

I hate to bring this up.

I really do.

I don't want to bring it up.

I don't want to play into the Big Mike situation with the Obamas.

You don't have to.

I don't want anything to...

I have to.

It's out there.

It's out there now.

She said it.

So I'm just showing you that she said it.

Okay.

Okay.

And I...

What is it?

What is it that she said?

Well, I'm going to show you what she said.

Well, let me do that right now.

She's having a conversation on her podcast the other day.

Does she only do one a week or is it every day?

I don't know.

Yes.

Whatever.

Whatever.

It's been interesting.

We got a double dose of her this week because she did that interview with Jay Shetty, and then we got the double dose of her there.

And I think her podcast with her brother is a once-a-week.

I think it is, too.

I think it is, too.

But she's worked her fingers to the bone since they left office.

You know,

they had that deal with Netflix for $100 million, and they've done up to one thing with Netflix.

Up to a full one thing

in the last 10 years.

Are you sure?

I'm not positive.

It might have only been half of one thing.

If you had an opportunity to get Barack Obama in office, it should be a building.

Go ahead.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

But to pay them that kind of money, and they, as far as I know, they've produced one thing.

Yeah, I don't know

what they have produced, actually, to be honest with you.

I think they had a couple of things,

well, in total, I think they did have a couple of things that they were going to do

than they stopped doing.

Yes.

It was reported they had a couple of things.

We're doing this.

It's really important.

It's not so important.

We're not doing it anymore.

You know what?

But

we spent the money they gave us.

We tried.

We wanted to do some stuff.

We thought it was going to be a great idea.

I got to go to Martha's Vineyard now.

We'll talk to you later.

Yeah.

And you know what?

I'm going to do do a podcast with my brother.

So anyway, during the podcast with her brother, although her brother wasn't on this particular podcast,

she was talking to the guest.

Yeah, she's talking to the guest.

But here's what came up during the podcast.

You tell me.

I wanted to talk, Marlon, a bit about,

you know, just so proud of how

you are being a role model for dealing with a child that's transgender.

Absolutely.

And that's, you know, that warms my heart, particularly as a black man.

Oh, you know,

would you

share that journey?

There you go.

There she said.

She just confirmed

everybody's conspiracy.

She did.

He did.

She's the one who said, as a black man,

so, I mean, play that part again.

Roll it back like 10 seconds.

How many people blasted silver, the big white comedy?

She's just so proud of how

you are being a role model for dealing with a child that's transgender.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

And that's, you know, that warms my heart, particularly as a black man.

Okay, there you go.

So it warms my heart, particularly as a black man.

She said it.

I didn't say it.

She said it.

She said it.

She just confirmed all the Big Mike stuff.

I mean, I guess it's not a problem for her, and it probably shouldn't be.

Because who am I to say it's wrong of her to be

a black man?

It's fine.

That's great.

So,

you know, I'm not casting aspersions.

I'm just telling you that's what she said.

It's finally

all the naysayers out there.

Stop calling her that.

It's not real.

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

She just confirmed it.

The pictures we saw are fake.

Okay.

You're right.

Right.

That showed

Mike with his

manliness.

It's fake.

Stop making fun of it.

It's not real.

But I mean, go back one more time.

You tell me.

You tell me what you're saying here.

I wanted to talk, Marlon, a bit about

just so proud of how

you are being a role model for dealing with a child that's transgender.

Sure.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

And that's, you know, that warms my heart, particularly as a black man.

As a black man.

Would you

share that journey?

There are some who say she's she's referring to her guest as a black man, but we know that's not what she's doing.

That's not what she said.

That's not the way it came across.

No, it's not.

What do you mean, some who say?

No,

man.

No.

You don't suppose that'll ever be taken out of context, do you?

And used

on some show somewhere.

No.

Like an early morning show on some network.

Multiple times.

Multiple, multiple, multiple, for years to come.

Absolutely.

Facts are facts.

Yeah, it's fantastic.

I mean, it's just good, clean fun right there.

I don't know that she would assume that.

No, she probably wouldn't admit that, but it is.

The rest of us all know.

It's just good clean fun.

She needs the promotion for that podcast as all

kidding.

Anyone can

get it.

Was I reading that she had 24,000 downloads?

I've said that.

I mean, for her, that's

staggeringly low.

I don't remember the exact comp, but they were staggeringly low.

For her.

For her, yeah.

I mean, it's Michelle Obama.

right

and that's the way she i mean she sells herself as michelle obama right i mean hello yeah she was this revered female first lady of america and

now not so much here's the other thing that it

It makes a statement in and of the fact that

she hasn't had Barack on with her.

Right.

Her show is floundering.

She could really use some publicity, some help.

You're not going to bring in your former president husband to be on the podcast with her.

You slyly deny all the time that the marriage is not in trouble.

There's nothing wrong, even though you're both never seen together, and Barack is out and about, even with the children, without you.

And it's so bad, apparently, that he can't even be on the podcast with her.

And you're doing a podcast with your brother

and not even once have your husband on.

That's amazing.

That's a problem.

I think that makes us, that's a clear statement right there that things are not where they should be or where you would like them to be with a happy marriage.

I don't think it is one.

I think they're done.

Oh, I believe that.

I doubt they'll ever actually get a divorce, but I think they're done just like Bill and Hillary.

I think that's over.

I mean, I believe that they are.

She's always talking about finding herself and needs to be me.

And,

you know, I had to tell my do people not to have a dress ready to go to things that I'm expected to go to because I've got to worry about me.

Me, okay?

And it's so hard for her to be.

It's always about someone else.

Right.

It's never about me.

Well, that's her natural inclination is to worry about everybody else and not herself.

It sure is.

And bless her heart for finally considering herself.

Right.

Because

that's what she was talking about with Jay Sheddy.

Look, I travel around in a motorcade with four SUVs, but when I look at the lowly people at the bus stop and

I say, oh my gosh how are they doing right how are they dealing with and sometimes i don't even spit on them as i pass by

uh

because

i know i know that i i'm blessed um you know not like you little people who have crappy lives so not a chinch even thinks of them no there's not barely is there a way that we could make these windows darker i don't have to see outside so great also h hs Secretary Robert Kennedy kind of seems to be hitting his stride right now.

And yesterday, he had some really interesting things to say.

Check this out.

We have ended HHS as the role as the vector, the principal vector in this country for child trafficking.

And during the Biden administration, HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking for sex and

for slavery.

And we have actually

very aggressively going out and trying to find these children, 300,000 children that were lost by the Biden administration.

Okay, so HHS was a collaborator in trafficking children under Biden.

Right.

It's kind of what he's saying there, right?

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

Wow.

And that's, I think, what he's talking about is the fact that the Biden administration just allowed these kids to be picked up by whomever with no proof of whether or not the people picking the kids up were their parents.

Right.

So we have no idea where they are, who they're with.

300,000 just lost.

We don't know where they are.

Wow.

So sad.

And that was one of the deals in the first Trump administration is they were trying to find the parents, which is why the kids were separated from their parents for a while.

Because when they come across the border, you don't want to put the kids in the adult facility.

It's not safe for them.

So they separate them.

And then later on, you got to kind of figure out, all right, who goes with who or whom.

And so that's difficult to do.

And the Biden administration didn't pay any attention to it.

They're just like, oh, okay, you're the dad?

Yeah, I'm the dad.

All right,

take as many kids as you want.

Good luck.

Drive safely.

See ya.

So that's how they contributed, I think.

I mean, how

terrible.

Evil.

It is evil.

Evil.

Yeah, it absolutely is.

There should have been something done.

There should have been precautions taken.

And this president, Donald J.

Trump, cares about those children, so he doesn't just toss them out to whoever comes by to say, yep, I'm the dad.

Now, I thought, you know, we started the show with Hakeem Jeffries telling us that Donald Trump couldn't care less.

We did start the show that way.

Yes.

Yes.

So that's what I thought.

So I'm casting some doubt on that particular claim now.

All right.

Yeah.

We'll have to look into it further, but I'm pretty sure Hakeem Jeffries

is incorrect on that.

Whatever.

And many other things, for that matter.

Also, after the federal government dropped a case against South Dakota ranchers who were using land they had always used.

Remember this dispute?

There was a fence and

there was grazing and these ranchers had been allowed to use this area for like 75 or 100 years.

And the feds came in and said, that's our land.

Right.

Not yours.

So Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins had a message to farmers and ranchers about that very situation.

We are excited to announce this morning that USDA right now at this moment is launching a portal at USDA.gov for all American farmers, ranchers, and producers who are subject to the similar egregious lawfare from the Biden administration.

Nice.

We will work with our counterparts, including my great colleague Secretary Christy Noam and others across the Trump government to address any other government overreach in situations like this.

We must ensure that our farmers and our ranchers have not and will not be targeted for living the American way of life.

Finally.

Yes.

Again,

it's been amazing to me the number of different issues that President Trump has paid attention to and tried to work out and do something about.

I mean, things that nobody's ever even heard of before or thought about at all, except

a minority of Americans who are affected by this kind of stuff.

Right.

Not everyone understands the, you know, a farmer is a

fence problem with the feds.

So?

Yeah, we don't care about that.

I live in the city in Texas.

What do I care about North Dakota or South Dakota ranchers?

Well, President Trump does, and he's doing something about it.

It's fantastic.

Triple 8-727-BEC, more coming up.

Better stay sharper, or

Matt Ray Jeff Fisher for Glenn and Stu this week.

Triple 8727 BECK.

We got to share this Ukrainian thing with you.

Oh my.

We just reached a deal with him, by the way, on the rare earth mineral situation that Zelensky wouldn't sign when he was here a couple of months ago.

And it's a profit-sharing deal.

So they announced that the United States will get preferential access to new Ukrainian minerals and fund investment in Ukraine's reconstruction.

So we're reconstructing that.

You're going to help

back up the nation.

And the original deal that

Trump wanted was that Ukraine would pay back the aid that the U.S.

has given it over the years.

And we dropped it.

That is not in this news.

Like a hot potato.

Still, here's Ukrainians complaining about Americans.

As the U.S.

and Kiev hammer out a mineral deal, Ukrainians from the mining heartlands have a message for Washington.

The resources are theirs.

Olexander is a resident of Krivy Rir, a city near iron ore mining and processing plants.

From what I can see, they only want to take, not to give.

Oh, my God.

U.S.

President Donald Trump has put pressure on Kiev and threatened to stop the flow of military supplies unless the U.S.
