Trump Mocks Rep. Crockett, Democrat 'Leaders' in Glenn Beck Interview | 4/30/25

2h 6m
President Trump raged against Amazon's plan to pass tariffs on to customers, prompting a quick backtrack from Jeff Bezos, who called it a “mistake.” But did Bezos have another reason for backtracking? Pat Gray and Jeffy Fisher discuss. At his 100-day Michigan rally, Trump touted securing the border and slashing trade deficits while praising a “big, beautiful bill” coming to Congress. He also blasted Democrats for a third impeachment push, calling them “lunatics,” and mocked their Capitol steps sing-along with Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), and he also caught Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) off guard. In a White House sit-down with Glenn, Trump detailed his plans to codify tax cuts and deregulation and end the war in Ukraine and Russia to save lives and money. Trump also remarked that he finds dealing with Putin easier than working with Zelenskyy. Meanwhile, the trial over Kim Kardashian’s 2016 Paris robbery began, with 10 suspects accused of storming her hotel room at gunpoint and stealing millions in jewelry. Pat and Jeffy are astonished by the details of the robbery.

You know, when it comes to Medicare, the system is confusing on purpose.

You've got dozens of plans, endless fine print, and salespeople who make used car dealers look like saints.

And yet, choosing the wrong Medicare plan can cost you thousands of dollars a year in out-of-pocket costs, missed benefits, or locked-in coverage you can't easily change.

That's why you need to know about Chapter.

Chapter isn't an insurance company.

They're a team of licensed advisors who work for you, not the carriers, and they search every single Medicare plan available in your zip code to find the one that's right for you.

They don't just stop at price either.

They look at your prescriptions, your doctors, your preferred hospitals, and they make sure nothing gets missed.

And because they're paid the same, no matter which plan you choose, their only incentive is getting it right.

So dial pound250 and say the keyword chapter.

Featuring Pat and Jeffy today for Glenn and Stu

triple 8 900 or 727 triple 8727 B E C K

That's what shows mixed up for a second.

Yeah, that's what it is.

We got a lot from President Trump.

Yesterday he was in Michigan.

He was all over the place talking about multiple things.

We'll get into some of what he had to say in one minute.

You know, if your back aches every morning or your knees hurt walking upstairs or your hands feel stiff just holding a coffee mug, that's not how life's supposed to be.

It's not just getting older.

That's inflammation and your body is screaming for help.

Well, now here's where it gets good.

Relief Factor is not a painkiller.

It's not something that masks symptoms.

It's a daily supplement developed by doctors that targets the inflammation at the root of the pain.

And for so many people,

that's the game changer.

There's a reason hundreds of thousands of Americans have tried Relief Factor and why over 70% of them keep reordering it.

When something works, you stick with it.

And when you get your life back, when you can move without wincing or sleep without tossing and turning, that's worth anything.

You can try the three-week quick start right now.

It's simple, it's affordable, and it could change your life.

The same way it's changed Glenn's and so many others.

For just $19.95, you can try Relief Factors three-week quick start.

If it doesn't work after that, then it's probably not going to work for you and you just discontinue.

But that's less than a dollar a day.

Call 1-800-4RELIF.

See if it works for you.

Chances are really good it's going to.

That's 1-800, the number 4 Relief, or visit relieffactor.com.

So President Trump

was a little upset with Amazon.

Amazon was going to put on their products that

the price was due to the added price.

The more expensive price was because of tariffs.

Right.

Well,

they were going to put the tariff edition on there.

So it made a point to stick out that this is what the product costs because of this tariff price yes and other you know other websites are doing it but uh

when donald trump found out about amazon he was a little unhappy

no yeah he was not pleased uh here's here's what he had to say about the meeting though with bezos jeff bezos was very nice he uh was terrific he solved a problem very quickly and uh he did the right thing and he's a a good guy okay

there you go there you go

it was a good conversation

oh yeah he called them right away and apparently it was uh you know they said that it was a mistake uh-huh it was a mistake do you believe that we were uh-huh i just know what they said yeah that was a mistake with we were talked about it we were uh you know mulling it over and it was a mistake that this information ever got out Yeah, because we never really intended to do that.

No, there's no way we never intended to do that.

Hilarious.

You know they did.

Absolutely.

They intended to do it.

But Jeff still wants that space money from the government.

He wants to play along nice with Donald Trump.

Caroline Levitt went off on him before that.

I don't know if the phone call is probably taking place when Caroline was going after it, after him.

But they reacted swiftly.

Yeah.

And, you know,

the government already gave the contract to Elon, right?

They already gave the contract to SpaceX.

There were some other contracts that.

SpaceX and Blue Origin were battling for government contracts with NASA.

And I think SpaceX won that.

And there was one contract that Bezos, I think, went back before the Congress or the Senate committee and said, now that needs to go to us.

And some of it ended up going to them.

To Amazon?

Yeah, he stomped his feet on Blue Origin some of that money

from the government.

I have the impression, though, that SpaceX is ahead of Blue Origin.

And

by a lot.

Hates that.

He does.

Hates that.

And you can tell.

Yeah.

You can tell.

Yeah.

I like that all the space news is about Elon

SpaceX.

Which is why he did the chicks in space thing.

He's doing his launch into space.

Carmen line.

Yes.

And

getting as many celebrities as he can so that it's a lot of attention for that.

They sure do.

They go three inches into the actual line of space.

So they're three inches past the Karman line.

They're in space.

But they're in space.

And then they come right back.

That makes them astronauts.

So why don't you just shut up about it?

No, I didn't want to disparage their astronautism.

That's for sure.

No, no, they're explorers.

I don't want to take that away from them.

Technically, I compare

how we delegate who's an astronaut to do.

We do.

We do.

And who's an explorer?

Training.

They have like two days of training how to sit in the capsule.

I now compare Gail King to Cortez and

Ferdinand Magellan.

Okay.

Yeah.

All right.

To me, I don't think they're alone in that.

They're Ferdinand Magellan of today.

I don't think you're alone in that.

There's millions of us who believe that.

Millions.

Katie Perry, she is most definitely.

Ponce

de Leon.

Whatever his name is.

If I could say it, she would be him.

She is the 2025 version of Ponce de de Leon.

So I'm just darn proud of that.

He does not like it.

No, he does not like it.

No, he really doesn't.

But President Trump also discussed his first 100 days.

Yesterday was the 100-day mark in office, and he talked about it.

Well, I think we're either we've done everything or it's in the process of being done.

For instance, the border is in great shape.

99.9% came out again today.

99.9%.

I would say that was my number one thing.

The economy would be certainly right up there, and I think it's doing great.

We were losing billions and billions of dollars a day with trade, and now I have that down to a very low level, and soon we're going to be making a lot of money, we're going to be reducing people's taxes, and we're going to get the big look.

A very important element that we're working on now, maybe more important than anything with the border in good shape,

is the fact, excuse me, is the fact that we want to get, and very importantly,

a big, beautiful new deal.

If we get that done, that's the biggest thing, what's happening in Congress right now.

And

I think we're going to get it done.

We have great Republican support.

If the Democrats blocked it, you'd have a 60% tax increase.

I don't think that's going to happen.

We have great support from Republicans.

So the big, beautiful deal.

That's what we want, the bill.

I think the next period of time, I think my biggest focus will be on Congress

with the deal that we're working on.

That'll be the biggest bill in the history of our country in terms of tax cuts and regulation cuts and other things.

You know, he's so right about the border.

The border.

Oh,

just, you know, even though we haven't finished the wall yet,

just the attitude adjustment.

Just the adjustment in enforcing the law has made all the difference in the world.

It's gone from 12,000 a day on some days with Biden to a few hundred

a day.

Crossing the border illegally.

And that's the southern border and the Canadian border

combined.

That's tremendous.

And they said, I listened to

one of the heads of the Border Patrol talking about how

they're now building

more of the wall, and they're filling in some of the gaps that they had, and they're just waiting on Congress to give them more funding to finish that off.

Wow.

So get to work.

So get it done.

Yeah.

I mean, what are you waiting for?

Why is Congress just dragging their feet on so many things?

I don't know.

Get it done.

We don't have all the time in the world here.

No, we do not.

By the time you get to the

midterm election,

it might be too late because if

Democrats take over the House or the Senate or both, then the agenda is really going to get hampered.

It's going to be really, really tough.

Well, get it done.

They're going to get it done.

You know, right?

I mean, they've got something.

Yeah, they're going to be done.

You're confident in the Republicans because they're so good.

Summer break coming up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think they're back in Washington, D.C.

right now, but I mean...

For about a day and a half because they were off last week.

And then I think they've got another vacation coming up.

Well, we got summer break.

Here pretty quickly.

Summer break.

Yeah.

Well, you got Memorial Day break.

You got Mother's Day break.

You got.

They're getting on it.

Yeah, they'll be on it.

They'll be on it.

Come September, you know, it'll be all right.

Or wait, that's Monday.

Come Monday, it'll be all right.

But I don't know.

It's just so hard to get the Republicans in office to act.

I mean, we need to go.

We need to go.

Exactly.

That needs to be their mindset.

Let's get it done.

He seemingly hasn't slept in 101 days now.

And

I'm pretty sure Congress has, which is a problem.

Big problem.

Yeah.

President Trump was in Michigan yesterday.

This is interesting.

Here's some of the things he had to say there.

John James, is he a congressman, this guy?

Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to start the impeachment of Donald Trump.

What the hell did I do?

Here we go again.

They want to impeach me.

Did I just hear I was being impeached again?

We're getting good at this, though.

No, they've gone totally crazy.

These people, and you know what?

They've totally lost their confidence too.

They can't even tell a lunatic like this dumb guy that said it.

And then you have the other one that's always with the cane.

He's always impeaching.

He raises his cane.

He always impeaches.

But they have no control over those people.

They have no control.

And the reason is they've lost their confidence.

They have no confidence anymore as a party.

They have no candidates.

And you know, when they say that Bernie, Bernie's probably the best they have.

By the way, he's about seven years older than me, more,

eight years older.

He's the other.

One thing I got to give him credit, he's a lunatic, but he's still pretty sharp.

And he's going around with AOC plus three.

You know, the plus three follow him.

They hang on for little bits.

They hang on for nuggets.

And they get crowds.

They say, oh, the crowd was, our crowds are so much bigger than their crowds.

Their crowds are small.

If I ever had a crowd like their biggest crowd, they'd say it's over for Trump.

He's lost the magic.

But this is great.

And all the people outside, we love you.

We put screens up.

Yeah, we took care of you.

We put screens up.

Appreciate you coming.

Yeah.

I mean, but that's how, that's how big the crowds are.

They always have to put screens up outside because it can fit everybody inside.

It's amazing.

Also, yesterday,

Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan, showed up.

And so President Trump called her up.

I mean, this is kind of a class move, I think.

It is.

And he had said even, I think before he called her up in one of his, you know, rants before inviting other people up, he had said that, thanked her for being there and he was happy and that he made it seem like

he was going to be nice to her.

But I like her.

She's done a great job.

Yeah.

And I was like, okay.

And she returns none of that.

She doesn't reciprocate.

She put a

pamphlet up in front of her face when she was in the Oval Office.

She didn't want her picture taken.

So here he is talking about Witmer, and she comes up to the podium.

That's a good idea.

Yeah, look at.

He's talking.

Get up here.

He offers her the podium.

That's a pretty magnanimous.

I'm just going to speak, but on behalf of all the military men and women who serve our country and serve so honorably on behalf of the state of Michigan, I am really damn happy we're here to celebrate this recapitalization at Selfridge.

It's crucial for the Michigan economy.

It's crucial for the men and women here, for our homeland security, and our future.

So thank you.

I am so, so grateful that this announcement was made today.

And I appreciate all the work.

Thank you.

No acknowledgement.

I am not grateful to Donald Trump, I'll tell you that.

Yeah, I am, but I'm not saying it.

No thank you to Mr.

President.

Thank you for inviting me up here.

Nothing.

That's

well, her people barely like her being there.

I mean, it was

an event for military, right?

She had to be.

Right.

No, I don't disagree.

And she did not want to be, obviously.

Correct.

She doesn't like being seen with Donald Trump because of their hatred.

They're TDS.

I've got to get to the Oval Office.

And

he brought her up.

He's like, hey, come on up.

Say something.

All right.

888-727 B-E-C-K.

More coming up in one minute.

You ever notice how suddenly everybody becomes an expert the moment you mention you're buying or selling a house?

Your neighbor, your barber, the guy bagging your groceries,

everybody has an opinion.

You got to sell in the spring.

Never trust a house with more than two gables.

My cousin's a real estate slash dog groomer.

She'll hook you up.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

How about no to all of that?

We got a lot of bad advice too.

Like you need to remodel everything.

You need to remodel your master bathroom.

You need to remodel the kitchen.

We did actually wind up doing the countertops and a couple of things, but our realtor said, no, don't, don't.

We were going to get really extensive in our master bathroom.

I'm so glad we didn't.

And it was based on her advice.

And she saved us a ton.

of money.

It's just so great when somebody is there who knows what they're talking about.

And we've seen the house since we sold it.

They remodeled it the way they wanted to remodel it anyway.

So

they bought themselves kind of an expensive fixer-upper, but bless their hearts.

I'm sure glad they did.

But real estate agents I trust, this is where you'll find a great realtor who can give you the great advice that you need to sell your money for, sell your house for the most money or get the most house for your money.

And maybe you need both because you're relocating.

That's where these great realtors come in.

This is Glenn's network.

He built it so you don't have to gamble with the biggest financial decision in your life.

Whether you're buying or selling or doing both, these agents know how to price, how to stage, how to negotiate, and how to close.

Like it's second nature, because for them it is.

So unless your grocery bagger has a degree in real estate, 10 years' experience, you know, maybe you skip that free advice and go directly to Real Estate Agents I Trust.

Plus, here's the thing: it's a free service.

We just set you up with a great realtor, and you don't have to pay a thing for that.

Go to RealEstateAgents I Trust.com.

That's realestate agentsitrust.com.

10-second station identification.

Meanwhile, while President Trump is doing all the things that he's been doing, the Democrats continue to fight and claw and scream and resist every possible step step of the way.

And over the weekend, I can't believe we missed this part the other day, but on the steps, the big sit-in.

The sit-in, yeah, with Corey Booker and Hakeem Jeffries.

Yes.

Some guy showed up.

Is this a rabbi?

Yeah, he said.

He showed up with a

actual name, and I couldn't find his actual name, so I apologize.

Yeah.

I think he's a rabbi, but I think he is.

I know that.

I think he is, but he's a tremendous vocalist.

He's a performer.

That much we know.

He's a performer.

Yeah, he's an amazing singer.

And he brought a song with him.

And man, this is going to be in your head all day.

If we build this world from love,

then God will build this world from love.

Interesting lyrics.

It is.

It is.

So if we build this world with love,

then God will build this world from love.

So I guess he's waiting for our cue.

Then God will build this world from love.

Oh, you want that.

That's powerful.

You want that second yet,

don't you?

You got to have it.

I will say that I don't know if they have it, but I sent in a longer version of this.

So maybe it will win you over.

Because I don't know if this won you over to go on the Democratic version.

So we've got the extended dance version?

This is a shorter version, but

I found another angle.

I want the extended version.

Let's have the extended dance version.

It really kind of makes it

worth your while.

I don't know if they have it yet or not, but

I sent it in

a little bit ago.

Okay.

But it is

even better than that because he is awesome there.

Oh, my man.

Really kind of almost wins me over.

I think he's got a hit on his hands, frankly.

Yeah, he's crazy.

I mean, it's an old classic song.

We found that out.

We did find out.

He did not make it.

Now, initially,

when we played it on my show, we thought that he made it up on the spot.

Surprisingly, you weren't familiar with this

song.

I wasn't.

But that doesn't mean it's not a classic.

I think to some, it really is a classic.

And it is.

And people have been rocking to that tune for a long time.

A long time now.

So we got to get the dance.

We do have the extended dance version.

Oh, awesome.

And here it is.

Okay, I will build it.

And you.

From love.

Then God will build this world from love.

Okay.

Yeah.

Yellow lie lila.

Let's build the country we deserve.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Come on now.

That won't be over.

The sit-in.

No, the sit-in.

The sit-in did.

The sit-in sucked, frankly.

But the song, now I'm there with him.

You know what?

I think now we need to build this world from love

so that God will build this world from

love.

So it's not on him.

No, it's on us, and then he'll follow our lead, I guess.

That's good.

That's great.

Yeah, that's good.

That's good.

All right.

Perfect.

So.

I mean, they bring these performers in, and

he's such a wonderful performer.

I can appreciate, you know, he didn't have anything to do Sunday afternoon, so he just showed up at the sit-in.

Yeah.

But

it's amazing that they think it's going to

move something.

Every single time, these dumb songs that they bring to these protests, they think, I guess, are going to change people's minds.

They don't.

They don't.

That one didn't move?

No, they don't.

Come on now.

You just need to hear it one more time.

We'll play it again.

Glenn back.

Miss the show.

Listen anytime, anywhere podcasts are found.

Stick around.

More after the break.

Pat and Jeffrey for Glenn today.

You know,

as I sit and think about

if we build this world from love,

then God will build this world from love.

And it really kind of changed my mind now.

I understand what they're saying.

Now I'm on their side.

I know it's turning you a little bit.

Yeah, yeah, it is.

Here's the thing.

Uh-huh.

No.

No.

I'm not.

It's not there.

I don't mind.

It's not there yet.

I'm okay with the yada die, die, die.

I didn't realize it was as big a hit as it is.

Oh, it's huge.

I looked it up, and there's been choirs and people singing it from all around the world.

Oh, really?

For a long time.

Yeah.

Really?

So I'm looking forward to hearing the African choir singing yada die, die, die.

See, there are different versions of that.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

But

still not one of me over

to go to the world.

Maybe you just haven't heard it enough times yet.

Maybe that's the problem.

If we build this world from love,

get it.

Yeah.

There it is.

I don't know.

Not yet.

Maybe this will.

We've got one from the past.

This one came from

some protest a while ago, a few weeks ago.

Check this out.

Which side are you on?

Oh, yeah.

Which side

are you on?

Tell me which side on.

Which side are you on?

Tell me.

me which side are you on?

This is awesome.

Is that one?

We'll fight against Joe Strim.

We'll fight against

Elon Musk.

Yeah.

Don't like Tesla Carlos.

We'll fight from Dusk

and Musk.

Which side are you on?

See, Dusk and Musk with Rhyme.

So

that's all you can do.

That's all you can do.

Are you on?

Which side are you on?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I do enjoy that one.

That's a pretty good one.

That's a pretty good one.

Pretty good.

And that was

this year.

Now, we also played in the past the one that

was from, man, several years ago.

I know which one you're going to say.

I can read your mind.

Are you going to say there's a hole in the sky where a tree once was?

Yes,

somebody's making money.

That could not be more correct than what she's singing about right there.

It could not.

So

I save the trees.

It can't be more correct because I don't know what the hell they're talking about.

Save the trees.

There was a hole in the sky.

Yeah.

Because you cut down a tree.

The tree was in the sky.

And when you cut it down, it made a hole.

Don't make fun of it like you don't understand what she's trying to say.

Don't.

What?

A lumber company?

Is that who's making money?

Are we pissed off at like Boise Cascade now?

What's the deal?

Like,

those damn lumber companies

are cutting down trees.

Ah, those lumber companies are getting so mad at.

If only we didn't have lumber.

Oh, dang it.

And for a while, we didn't.

For a while, we didn't.

Remember when

just a few years ago, lumber was really expensive.

I mean, in fact, we just heard from Chris Matthews not long ago that he was concerned that we just didn't know we didn't have any lumber.

What are you going to do?

Make more wood?

That was his question.

Yes.

And yes, Chris, that's the answer.

It's called planting a tree.

And since you stopped making a hole in the sky a few years ago, we

needed to put a few more in.

There's a hole in the sky where the tree wants to be.

Somebody's making money.

Somebody's making money.

Boy, she is so right.

Save a tree.

So right.

So right.

Save a tree.

Yeah, because you know what?

On this planet, there are only three trillion of these trees.

There's only three

trillion.

There are more trees on this planet than stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

I know you say that because there's no number around it.

I don't know that there's a lot of people.

It is absolutely 100% true.

I want someone to count the stars in the trees.

I already have.

I already did that for you.

I did all the work.

Now all you have to do is enjoy the statistics.

Just to believe it.

Okay.

Look it up.

How many stars?

Ask me.

I don't know.

Ask

me how many stars.

Google it.

I will.

Google it.

No.

Because you challenge me on that every time.

And it's accurate.

You know what?

Fine.

Fine.

Okay.

You're right.

You're right.

Thank you.

So I saw the European Space Agency.

Your pity correction doesn't work.

Here.

Sent up a satellite yesterday, as a matter of fact, that's going to weigh the world's forests and measure how much carbon they store and monitor the changes.

Who's going to do this?

This is a satellite sent up by the European Space Agency.

And they're going to weigh the forests?

First of its kind satellite to weigh the world's forests.

That's a measure.

Measure how much carbon they store.

Pick up each tree

and set it back down.

I don't know.

Scientists hope the data will help refine climate models and track deforestation to support global targets to end forest loss by 2030.

So.

Okay.

All right.

We got that going for us.

That's

going to help a lot.

Forests are known as, I don't know if you know this, Pat,

Earth's green lungs.

Forests are known as

green lungs.

Are they known that way?

No.

Not in my family.

They're known.

No, right.

And for your family, it's a hole in the sky is what they're known as.

There's 16 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide each year and emit half that amount, resulting in a net absorption of roughly 8 billion metric tons annually.

Deforestation and degradation, however, release stored carbon back into the atmosphere, contributing to the warming cycle.

Oh,

I didn't know that.

Okay.

Stop cutting them down.

Yeah.

Stop cutting them down.

I mean, we need to have more.

What are they?

What are they?

The forest bathing.

They call it forest bathing.

Forest bathing.

Forest bathing.

That means you go out into the woods

and you bathe in the forest.

You just breathe in the forestry.

Oh, wow.

That sounds like a beautiful, beautiful moment.

We did more of that in life.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, don't worry.

You'd appreciate it if you didn't like the holes in the sky, I'll tell you that.

Oh, man.

It's just, it's so asinine.

It's, I mean, we replace pretty much all the trees that we cut down, do we not?

I mean, we have more trees now than we did back in the ⁇ than we did 100 years ago.

There's more forestation, there's more trees now than there ever has been on the 2000s.

Even though we're losing, what, how many

hundreds of thousands of acres a day in the rainforest?

Yes, even though that is not the case.

But that's the same thing.

There's no claim.

There's no way.

For years, they've said that we're losing all this land in gigantic numbers, and I don't remember the specific numbers, but they're the numbers they were using ridiculous you would not have a rainforest right any longer at all if they were if those numbers were correct well they do the same thing with uh the arctic ice that's going to go away it's going to completely melt by you know what was it Gore used to say that he was

it was it was oh yeah melt within I don't know in the thumb of the thumber month

according to Dr.

Matlowski the disclaimers yes yeah you had a million different disclaimers and

none of it happened.

You know, he made that prediction, I think, was it 07?

Or 2009?

It has been a long time.

Yeah, it has.

And it's nonsense.

Here's what he said.

Some of the models

suggest.

I love that.

Some of the models.

Some don't show that.

Some don't show that.

But I'm not going to talk about that particular aspect of this

insane catastrophe.

To Dr.

Maslowski,

75% chance

that another disclaimer, 75%

chance.

According to some of the models, there's a 75% chance that the

entire North Polar ice cap

during summer, during some of the models.

During some.

Okay, now there's another disclaimer.

During some

summer months could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.

And there's another disclaimer.

Within the next five to five to seven or seven years.

And here we are, you know, going on 20 years later, 15, 20 years later.

It still hasn't happened.

And they're never held accountable.

They're never.

He was just yapping at that conference at San Francisco.

Oh, he was screaming at that one.

It was another one of those like, he betrayed this country.

He played on our fears.

It was another one of those things.

And you're getting all upset upset when you're wrong all the time.

Every single prediction you've ever made has been wrong.

I know.

And you continue to make the predictions.

I know.

I don't know.

It's amazing.

So I asked Jeeves.

Oh, you did?

Okay.

How many stars in the Milky Way galaxy?

Jeebs says there's over 3 trillion trees.

Over 3 trillion.

Okay.

3.04 trillion trees on the planet.

I like that.

All right.

Jeeves says that stars in the Milky Way.

Yes.

Yeah, stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

Okay.

I'm going to say 1 to 200 billion.

18 trillion.

No,

it's only about 400 billion.

400 billion.

Yeah.

They used to say 1 to 200 billion.

This is now this is 1 to 4.

Okay, 100 to 400 billion.

Yeah, we're planning new stuff.

So there's 10 times as many trees as stars.

Yeah, in the Milky Way galaxy.

In the Milky Way.

According to Jeeves.

According to Jeeves.

According to some of what Jeeves said

in

thumb part of the Milky Way galaxy.

That's correct.

Also, as far as global warming is concerned, they're saying that this week in Pakistan, it's going to reach 120 degrees.

And thumb of the Pakistani 30th.

Thumb.

120 degrees.

So, of course,

that's global warming.

It is warm.

That's a little warm.

But it used to be that this would happen or it'd get really cold in the winter and they'd say hey don't confuse don't confuse weather with climate climate happens over a long period of time they don't bother with that anymore no now it's every single weather event means that they're right about global warming correct and we know that while you know 123 degrees you know is may not be normal it is in the realm i mean the averages there from time to time are what between 80 and 100 degrees yeah this time of year maybe a little over 100 in some areas.

So I mean it is something that we used to call weather

taking place.

Plus, we also know, just as a side note, and we discussed this earlier on your program, Pat Gray Unleashed, that airs prior to this broadcast, that

time would that be

7 to 9 Eastern,

immediately preceding this program,

wherever you listen to your broadcast.

We know now that the sun is over Pakistan, but it's on its way and moving closer to the planet where it's going to be directly over Texas in just about another month, month and a half.

It's going to happen, and I am not looking forward to that.

The sun will eventually be three miles away from Texas.

Pakistan has that to look forward to.

They know that it's moving away from them and coming to Texas.

Right.

That's an annual event.

Yeah, you can't stop it.

All right.

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today, 888727BECK.

We got some great stuff not heard yet, on the radio show from

Glenn's interview with President Trump.

Yeah, the 100-day interview that he did, and they're airing it tonight as well on Blaze TV

for his 100 Days in Office interview.

I'm looking forward to seeing all of it.

I watched what I thought was most of it, and apparently there was some that I missed.

Because

there was some that they had didn't put in the main broadcast that was put on at the end.

So I'm looking forward to seeing it all again.

Me too.

Me too.

It's a really good interview.

And Glenn had just an incredible experience.

I'm sure he talked about it on the air, but there was some

off-the-air stuff that was just awesome that he was able to do and got a really nice tour of the White House and all of that.

So

it's going to be fascinating.

We'll share some of that.

That's never been heard before coming up in just a few minutes, right after the top of the hour.

Am I to understand the Beyoncé tour is not going well?

Have you heard that?

They just started up.

Yeah, but they're not selling tickets.

No,

I think they just started, right?

Well, let's see.

I mean,

according to this,

on Monday, there were more than 3,000 seats still available at the SoFi Stadium

for that particular stop on her tour.

Because it's like a 32-stop tour.

Yeah.

I just read the headline and I saved it.

I didn't read the whole story.

Users online compared the cost of resale tickets, some as low as $20,

to some of the limited edition Minecraft movie Big Mac meals from McDonald's.

They said, due to the low demand, Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour tickets, $20,

are now cheaper than a McDonald's Minecraft meal, which is $21.39.

In L.A.

That's a wow.

That is incredible.

Wow.

So what is going on there?

Well, I mean, the tickets are probably outrageous.

Yeah, I think they were asking.

Yeah, I think they were asking thousands.

She just got off a tour.

She just did a big old world tour.

Yeah, because she was competing with Taylor Swift.

Oh, that's right.

They were worried about who was going to make the most billions on their world tour.

Yeah.

And then she, but I guess,

you know, she got some more attention because she went up in

the Blue Origin craft for four minutes and was in space with Gail King.

Beyonce didn't.

Beyonce didn't, right?

No, that was Katie Perry.

That was Katy Perry.

So

I don't know.

She's probably, come to think of it, Beyonce.

Queen Bee is probably pissed.

She probably is.

She

probably is.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, that hurts.

But apparently the ticket sales aren't going all that great.

Wow.

You know, and it's interesting because Taylor Swift was sold out in every location, wasn't she?

Yes.

I think her entire world tour, she was sold out every single time.

Added.

Yeah.

Yeah, multiple shows.

All right.

Triple 8727 back.

We've got more of Glenn's interview with President Trump coming up.

This is Glenn Beck.

Whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho.

Down the road where shadows hide.

Feel the dark on every side.

Stand your ground when times get tight.

Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Uh-huh.

And welcome to it.

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn and Stewart today, triple 8-727-BECK.

We've got some unheard, so far unheard and unseen

clips from Glenn's interview with President Trump, and we're going to get to that in one minute.

If you're like most Americans, your finances are kind of like a junk drawer.

There's a little bit of everything in there.

Some debt, a couple of credit cards, a mortgage, maybe, mysterious charge from Waffle Subscription LLC.

You don't remember signing up for, and, you know, you keep telling yourself, yeah, I'm going to sort that out.

Yes, yes, we have.

How do you think we got all this information?

Well, American Financing is the company you call when later finally turns into, I can't do this on my own anymore.

They're not some pushy lender trying to sell you a one-size-fits-all loan.

They're salary-based consultants who actually sit down and help you get a plan together.

Whether that means paying off debt faster, consolidating high-interest stuff, or just finding a way to keep more of your money each month.

That'd be a great thing.

They work with you, not the banks.

So, if your idea of a financial strategy is just hoping gas prices will go down, maybe it's time to talk to someone who knows what they're doing.

Try American Financing and maybe cancel that Waffle

subscription while you're at it.

Or don't.

I'm not here to judge.

You know, that's up to you.

But call American Financing at 800-906-2440.

That's 800-906-2440 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

NMLS 1-82334, NMLS Consumer Access.org.

APR for Ricks in the 5 starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

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

All right.

So President Trump says he's going to be working with Congress to codify.

This is a big deal because if you just do all this stuff, I think he's done 146 executive orders so far.

That's a lot.

That's a lot.

That's a lot.

And it can all be, the problem with that is it can all be undone by the next guy.

So what you need to do with those executive orders is codify them into law with Congress.

And

that has to be done.

So Glenn asked him about that, about the one big, beautiful bill and whether or not he's going to codify this stuff into law.

We're talking about one bill.

Yes.

We're talking, as you remember, it was a debate on should we do one big one or should we do three or four or two?

And we're doing it in one bill, which I thought was much more beautiful because it's everything.

It's everything.

It's tax cuts, it's regulation cuts, it's things that you wouldn't believe.

Lots of, you know, big, it's big, and we get that done.

It's beautiful.

And we are getting along very well.

I will tell you, the Republicans, we had a majority a few months ago of one in the House.

Now we have seven.

That's a lot.

We won two races and picked up a couple of others in addition.

But

we're up to seven.

That's okay.

That's a big difference.

Will this

be,

will all your work go away, however, if they don't codify?

So we're going to codify, and we're going to wait till after the bill is passed, and then we're going to work on nothing but codifying.

As an example, the other day I did shower heads and sinks and the whole thing.

Thank you.

Isn't it nice?

Oh, yes, it is.

No, you go into a new building, a hotel, and no water comes out.

No water comes out of the sink.

all of that's done dishwashers uh we did a little thing very little thing but it was a big thing to some people straws uh we are now making again straws that are plastic straws as opposed to paper that melts that melts in your mouth yeah and uh

so many different things it's been really amazing a lot of them common sense wow The straws is not a little thing.

No, it is not.

That in and of itself is a big thing.

This straw thing drives me out of my mind because that was brought about by a nine-year-old kid who is doing a school project

you know about that i mean you know that right of course stories i think this is fairly uh prominent by now that a kid started calling people asking about how many straws were used every day somebody along the way at a straw manufacturing plant or something told him that

500 million got into his head somehow.

So he started reporting.

He published, I guess, in his report, and it got picked up on websites.

Yep, everybody just went with it.

500 million straws per day ended up either in landfills or the ocean.

Look at this.

It's true.

We're just going to say it.

And it's not.

That stat came from a nine-year-old kid.

So thank you for, you know, fixing the straw situation because that's lunacy.

I'm thankful for the shower heads too.

And the shower heads.

I like a little pressure.

Yes.

I'm kind of a stickler that way for, you know, there's a few crannies and nooks that I like to get to.

Yes.

I mean, there are some simple things in life that are important, like the straws, like the water pressure,

like your toilet flushing.

You know, because they messed that up too.

Yes, they did.

All because, all in the name of the environment.

They messed up all of those things.

And so President Trump's trying to fix it, which is great.

That's really great.

Something else that

he's trying to do is take care of the cartel situation.

The drug cartels in Mexico are completely out of control and they've been out of control for decades.

And so

he says he's offered Mexico help with taking care of that.

If I were in Mexico and I was living in a failed narco-state and everybody I voted for was being killed and my family was being threatened, I'd try to get across the border as well.

It would only make sense.

But when your government won't do anything about it or can't do anything about it,

it's a no-brainer.

I've been next to my kids praying that

special forces might just kind of pay some people some visits in the middle of the night.

And I've asked to, I said, would you like some help?

I'd be glad to give you help.

No, no, no, we don't want help.

They really don't don't want help.

But please, please, we do not want help.

But isn't it helpful?

I think they need help.

At some point, doesn't it?

Well, I can't tell you about that because

that would be breaking news, wouldn't it?

But, you know, you could say at some point, maybe something's going to have to happen.

It can't go on the way it is.

Look, when we closed the borders, that was a big deal.

And we had to fight very hard.

That was not just as simple as it sounds because it happened fast.

there were lots of skirmishes that went on because that was a big revenue source for some a lot of people but no we're here to help mexico if we can we i like the president very much i like the people so many of the representatives but it can't be easy for them it really it's i think it's a very dangerous job yeah uh yeah can't be easy for them I mean,

it's amazing when you go to Mexico and you see what is happening there and what's become of the country.

it's sad.

It's a sad situation

because they've got some issues there that they've had for a really long time and they never get fixed.

And so

you got people who are suffering because of it.

Yeah.

I mean,

if you go there and visit, just stay in your complex.

Yeah.

Don't leave the complex.

That's what everybody says.

That's going to be fine.

Yeah.

It'll be fine.

But even if you stay in the complex, you still can't drink the water and you still can't flush the toilet paper down the toilet.

I mean, things that simple.

Is that an issue?

Yeah, it's an issue.

It's a big issue.

I can't stand the fact that they have to put their toilet paper in the garbage next to the toilet, not in the toilet and flush it down.

It is nasty.

It's nasty.

And it should be fixed.

We should send help for that.

We should send help for that.

They need help for that.

I don't know if they need plumbers.

I don't know.

Yeah, Yeah, we need help with the infrastructure.

Sewer system builders, something has to happen.

Because the cartel is spending money.

I was listening to, again, an interview with one of the Border Patrol agents, and they talked about the

weapons that the cartels have as far as the drones and other weapons going up against the Border Patrol and getting people across the border.

And they were making sure, again, as we mentioned earlier, that they need Congress to make sure that they get the funding, our Border Patrol people, so that we have the merchandise and the equipment to go up against that and stop them because they have all this

capability that is, I don't know, not good.

It's not good for us.

Now, that having been said, we should still send some plumbers

down.

Yes.

Some infrastructure people.

Super city managers.

We just get this thing worked out.

Help them out.

Yeah.

Let's get that fixed because, you know, maybe less people will try to flood across the border.

They got a lot of money.

You'd think that they would want that system working.

Yeah, you would think so.

You would think so.

But then they lose a revenue source of the people trafficking.

You know, they sneak a lot of people across the border.

In addition to fentanyl, they make a lot of money on people as well.

So the other thing that can happen now, because we declared them terrorist organizations, is that the military can intervene.

They can do that.

But

Glenn also asked President Trump about the Democrats.

Here's what he had to say about that.

The level is just so bad.

Their policy is so bad.

You know, they're great at cheating and they're great at certain things, but they are so bad on policy, they're so far off.

When I watch them trying to prosecute the same things that they just lost an election in a landslide on, and they're still going through the same things, it's crazy.

And they don't know who their leaders are.

They have a new one, Crockett.

Have you seen Crockett?

Crockett?

Have you ever seen her talk?

This is going to be their leader.

I hope she's the next candidate for president.

We can hope in one way, but in another way, it's pretty demeaning.

It's demeaning to our country.

But

you don't see anybody out there.

Yeah, that's for sure.

That is.

That's for sure.

That's a big problem for Democrats.

Thank goodness.

Because

they got nobody to turn to.

Really, nobody to turn to.

AOC?

No.

I mean,

she's old enough now, finally.

I think she just turned 35 recently.

So she can run now.

That's kind of frightening.

And she probably will.

I bet she will in 2028.

But

they also tackled the Ukraine-Russia war.

Here's what President Trump had to say about that.

Is he the problem?

Is

Putin the problem?

Or is Europe the problem?

So look, Russia is a very big military force

and Ukraine isn't.

Without Ukraine, and I'm the one that supplied the javelins to them, so you know, I did a lot for them because the tanks got stuck in the mud and then they got javelined, right?

And they always say Trump gave the javelins and it was, in that case, Obama gave sheets.

He gave sheets.

They said nothing.

But

Biden gave money like nobody's ever seen before.

$350 billion.

$350 billion.

Gave military equipment, gave storage.

We had massive storage bins full of ammunition, buildings as long as the eye could see,

gave the ammunition.

What he did is, look, between the border and the this and the that, but this war is so bad.

And it's, and remember this, I say it here, I say it every time.

This is Biden's war, not my war.

I'm just trying to end it.

And I'm actually ending it, yes, for money, but I'm not ending it for that number one.

I'm ending it because they're losing 5,000 people a week.

Young soldiers are being killed, Russian and Ukrainian both.

But in the end, Russia has a lot of soldiers, and they have a very big military.

And

things were said, like when Zelensky was in the Oval Office, I was talking about getting it done, and he started screaming, but we need security, meaning security after the fact I said security I don't even know if we can get this deal done he's asking for more just more and more and more

and he doesn't have the cards as you know because you see what's happening over there he doesn't have the cards so hopefully

he's going to get it done because I don't believe that Vladimir Putin would be doing this for anybody else but me A lot of people have said it too.

I think he had the idea of going all the way through.

I think he's willing to make a deal.

And I would say thus far, he's been easier to deal with than Zelensky.

Wow.

Amazing.

Amazing.

I want it to be done.

Me too.

I mean, let's wrap it up.

I think most of us do want it to be done.

Let's wrap it up.

Yeah.

And only from President Trump do you hear what is no doubt the real number there that we've said.

He said $350 billion.

And I think at one point,

we were looking at some of the numbers that made it seem like even more than that.

That's even astronomical.

That's crazy, though.

That's crazy.

I mean, in our entire relationship with Israel, we haven't given them $350 billion.

At $3 billion a year, which is the clip that we

are on right now.

Right.

That would take you, what,

almost like 100 years?

right at three billion a year that's incredible so

the number that the media puts out though is more like 50 or 60 billion sixty five billion i don't know that anybody ever reports even a hundred billion because i mean the 350 the number that he used uh is that all of the money i would think so i would think that's all the money and the military i think so military aid and all of it yeah but of course you'd count all that why wouldn't you well you know you're counting the weaponry we've given and the monetary assistance.

So

it's too much.

It is.

Between 200 and 500

or 500, whatever the number is, that's way too much.

Yeah.

Yes.

Enough is enough.

All right.

Triple 8727 BECK.

More.

Pat and Jeffy coming up.

The whole thing's going to be on tonight for the release.

So, what time?

9 Eastern?

9 Eastern.

All right, which is 8 Central.

7 Mountain.

What if I'm in Guam?

What if I'm in 6 Pacific?

It's 4.45 in Guam.

Yeah.

They're a little bit off.

So, yeah.

I don't know why you'd be in Guam.

That place is about to tip over and

capsize.

You don't want that to happen.

Did you?

We were talking during the four-minute buzz buzz time period about this painting

in the Netherlands.

I don't know how this kind of stuff happens, but a child at a museum in the Netherlands just damaged a $56 million painting at a museum.

$56 million this thing is worth.

Kid walks up to it during an unguarded moment.

Unguarded moment

and just starts touching it, scratched it out, made dents in it.

There were different paintings that were leaning up against the the wall.

It was kind of a warehouse place where they allow visitors to come in or something.

It was really kind of strange how the artwork was being treated, I thought, the way it sounded.

If they were leaning up, leaning a $56 million art piece against the wall, yeah, that is strange.

Set it over there.

I know.

We'll get to it later.

I'll hang it up later.

I just, I don't have time for people coming in.

Make sure that little brat doesn't run around.

And they didn't

make sure.

So the kid,

it's just bizarre to to me that there's no plexiglass.

There's no glass.

There's no nothing.

There's nobody watching it.

I mean,

that's an expensive piece of art that you kind of want to protect.

Kind of do.

One would think that.

One would think that you'd want to keep that protected.

It was work by Rothko, whose work I love.

I love all the works of Rothko, don't you?

Especially Gray Orange on Maroon No.

8, which is what this painting was.

Is it worth anything now?

$1.95.

It's $1.95.

I'm up for it.

Yeah.

I guess they're going to try to fix it.

I don't know.

They said that

it can be worked on, but they also said that they didn't know exactly how it was going to be worked on and how much it was going to cost or who was going to pay for it.

That is just

so

crazy.

Okay.

That is nuts.

I mean, I don't know if we've taken the kid out back and paddled him for messing with the art.

I just, I don't know.

No, you can't do corporal punishment.

Oh, you can't?

No.

Even if he damaged a $56 million piece of art?

Not even then.

Nope.

Because I'm sure.

And

I guess I could be wrong, but I'm sure that they said, don't touch anything.

Yeah, I'm sure they did.

He didn't care.

He did not.

He did not care.

No.

Now, I kind of appreciate the kid for that, actually.

But that's really incredible that he's just running around.

Yeah, it is.

It is.

And we just let him scrape the painting.

Has anybody checked on the Mona Lisa at the Louvre?

Are we okay with that?

It's covered behind glass, right?

People have thrown soup and everything else on that thing.

Remember the tomato soup thing?

Yeah, you threw it up there, and you're like, okay, we're just going to wipe that off.

But this is just sitting there.

You're just sitting there, completely exposed.

Wow.

Absolutely incredible.

Serious.

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today, triple eight 727 BECK.

Let's check in.

We're Jeffy and

chewing the fat.

All right, yeah, let's do it.

Hey, Big Lots, back from the brink.

Variety wholesalers plan to breathe new life into the once-dying brand.

They're going to bring back an additional 132 Big Lots back to life in May, which is, I don't know, tomorrow, May 1st, which is incredible.

That was a close one.

Wow, was I concerned about that?

What are we going to do without big lots?

I was thinking to myself, you probably thought they were dead.

I did.

I mean, there were hundreds of stores that closed.

In our area, went out of business.

That's correct.

So they're going to bring it back now?

Well, maybe not that one.

Oh, because

they brought back nine stores

this month in April, and they're going to bring back another 132 uh across 14 states uh next month no texas yet so oh just keep an eye out and it's i mean big lots sold i don't know they shut down they had i think between three and 500 stores and i'm not sure how many variety wholesalers ended up buying when they went you know when they closed them down but they were they're excited to get them back and i bet they are back up and ready to go that's nice so yeah i mean it's you know look for the big lots it's nice when somebody saves you from bankruptcy.

Well,

that didn't happen.

That didn't happen.

No, no, Big Lots is done.

Variety, they're just taking it over.

They bought the name.

They bought the thing.

It's ours now.

Oh, wow.

You guys take a hike.

You couldn't keep it going.

Get out.

That's probably wise, since they did run it apparently into bankruptcy.

That's correct.

That's correct.

So a trial started yesterday in Paris, the Kim Kardashian trial, the Kim Kardashian robbery trial.

So this robbery happened in 2016,

which is incredible that we're.

Almost 10 years ago?

Yes.

Oh, my gosh.

So 10 suspects are accused of robbing Kim Kardashian at gunpoint during Paris Fashion Week in 2016.

Nine men, one woman, many in their 60s and 70s.

And I didn't realize that it was as bad as it was because they stormed her hotel suite while her bodyguard was away, tied her up, stole roughly $6 million in jewelry, including her $4 million engagement ring from then hubby Ye.

Prosecutors, that's Kanye West for those of you

not on the know,

prosecutors say five men disguised as police officers forced the night concierge to lead them to Kardashian's room where she was gagged, bound, and locked in a bathroom.

They escaped on foot and by bicycle.

DNA was found on zip ties and tape used to restrain Kardashian later to lead to the suspect's arrest.

The original 12 defendants, one has died, another suffering from advanced dementia, has been deemed unfit to stand trial.

Five are charged with carrying out the heist and five with serving as accessories.

So it's supposed to run through the 23rd of this month and Kim is set to testify on the 13th of this month.

The one guy was arrested in January of 2017.

He's spent 21 months in prison already.

He's been released under a judicial supervision.

He co-authored a book titled I Sequestered Kim Kardashian.

I don't think he's made any money from it yet.

I think that money is all on hold, whatever the sales are.

But this Eunice Abbas, 71, who acknowledged that he participated in the heist, he was the

bike rider.

When they brought down the bag of jewels, they gave it to him and he rode the bike out of the area.

And one of the things that they found was that he said he got so nervous because police were in the area.

They didn't know about the robbery, but he got so nervous that he crashed and fell off the bike and the bag full of jewels broke open.

And so he's on the street corner picking up all the jewels and then he gets up on his bike and rides away.

Well, one of the bracelets he missed.

And somebody, you know, obviously, I don't know if it was a detective, but the story, the original story said that some lady found it the next morning.

Someone found it and said, hey, is this one of the things you're looking for?

On the street.

Wow, incredible.

So he said that he's going to apologize, and I mean it sincerely.

But I didn't realize it was that bad.

You know, I mean, it was a bad robbery.

She's bound and gagged and thrown into the bathroom.

I mean, you're

a life.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Big time.

And so that's all happening now.

So good luck.

So it's like a geriatric gang or something.

They call it the Grampa Gang.

It's been weird.

The press has called them the Grampa Gang and stuff.

Yeah.

Some weird stuff.

There should be a movie about that.

I'm sure there will be.

Absolutely, there will be.

Because

look,

without the DNA

on the strips,

they're probably getting away with it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, they screwed up and touched the...

touched the strips that they used to gag your money.

I've never done that.

No, you shouldn't have.

You should wear gloves at all times.

Yeah.

Prior to the robbery.

I mean, I don't want to tell you how to do your job and and get millions of dollars worth of jewelry, but maybe you wear gloves.

Yeah.

It's a good safety tip.

Put a mask on.

Yeah.

Good safety tip.

I was just trying to help.

Congratulations to Francis Ford Coppola, the 50th AFI Life Achievement Award winner.

The American Film Institute congratulated and gave Francis Ford Coppola his big AFI Life Achievement Award.

Steven Spielberg

was there.

And I mean, Steven's made some of the best movies of all time.

He considers the 19, he said as he was introducing, as he was giving the award out to Francis Ford Coppola, the 1972 movie, the best film ever produced, was Godfather, the three-time Academy Award winner.

I'd be right about Godfather.

I might be right about that.

I don't necessarily disagree with that at all.

He called Coppola peerless.

So if you want to see it, you're going to have to wait until December 30th.

Turner Classic Movies is going to show

the AFI Life Achievement Award, the 50th anniversary special that happened just this weekend.

So you've got to wait eight months or nine months or however long it is.

It's weird when they do that.

Same with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame presentation.

Yes.

Weird.

Okay, whatever viewing deal you have.

I got it.

You've got to fill some time over the holidays.

We'll air it then.

Okay.

All right.

All the big names were there, including your boy George Lucas.

He's your boy.

You know he's your boy.

And a lot of boys that I didn't know about.

You've got Star Wars Episode III, Revenge of the Sith, in the theaters again, making money,

making huge money, actually.

Yeah, it is.

And then you have the three-episode.

Then you have the

Lucas Film is turning the ninth Jedi into a full animated series, expanding the fan favorite Visions short into a longer form TV adventure.

And he's also got the, have you started watching Andor yet?

Have.

On Disney Plus.

I like it.

There's two or three episodes dropped on that now.

Really good.

It should be up to four now.

Should be up to four.

Yeah, all right.

Nice.

And so

congratulations to them.

You'll get to see him in December.

Give that to Francis Ford.

Can't wait.

The Oscars are making some big changes.

We knew that they were adding the stunt design category.

Stunt design?

Yeah.

Okay.

It's well deserved.

Yes.

Okay.

That's what I thought.

I don't mean to imply it's not.

It sounded like it is.

Stunt design.

How often have we talked about, wow, that was incredible

stunt design in the film?

If you don't, you're not in the industry.

And the industry is very happy about that.

And they're so happy that we'll get to it in 2027.

Oh, we can't do it right now.

Okay, yeah.

You want the buildup.

Yeah, you do.

We can't do it.

I mean, we'll be happy to do it.

Just

not right now.

Or next year.

But the year after, then we'll do it.

That's correct.

But we love you, stunt people.

Oh, man.

And your design.

We love your design.

So

we'll celebrate that soon.

So now, one of the rules for their, they just dropped their rule book for the 98th Oscars.

And most notably, one of the rule changes is all nominees in a category must watch the movie before you could vote on it.

What sticklers for detail.

Wait, I got to watch the movie before

every movie.

Okay.

The Academy is going to track viewing via their members-only streaming app.

Next, you're going to ask me to read a book before I review it.

Well, I can't do that.

I can't do that.

Okay, well, you can't vote.

And if you go to see

if you go to see, well, they're going to track you on the app.

Oh, if you watch it.

Now, many people have said before I let let you know that

if you go and watch it at the theater or a festival or something, then you're going to have to fill out a form declaring when and where you watched it and document where you watched it.

But many people are saying that a lot of the actors are able to put the movie on via the Oscar app and then walk away

and not actually watch it because it only tracks you when it has the movie playing.

I don't believe anyone would do that.

Not Hollywood actors.

Come on.

Hey, come on, man.

They're way too

above that.

Way too much integrity.

So there's no way that that happens.

They also said that AI tools won't help or hurt your Oscar chances, but human creative authorship must be at the heart of the work.

Okay.

Okay.

There's also no trash talking.

Members are officially banned from publicly criticizing techniques used in eligible films.

Okay, so don't be bad-mouthing the movie, so don't do that.

And also, there's also going to be a short list for cinematography.

Like we're going to narrow it down to 10, 20 finalists, and then that's what they do to the visual effects and makeup, too.

But most importantly, you've got to watch every movie before you vote on it.

And they're going to make sure that not just the movie is on the sheet, but all the names of the actors and people who made the movie are going to be part of your viewing.

So on the ballots.

So that's good.

I mean, good for them.

Good for them.

Good that Hollywood's taking care of that for them.

Please rate and review where possible.

We have time for another one because this is one of my favorite stories.

The Jersey Mics,

I'm a fan of Jersey Mics, has a new CEO for the first time in 50 years.

After founder Peter Cankro, the founder and CEO of Jersey Mike Subs, stepping back from his leadership position.

They announced Thursday that he's going to be replaced by the former CEO of WingStop

beginning just a couple of days ago.

And he's going to, you know, take the Jersey Mike's

by the horns and make it grow even bigger than it was.

Now, the reason that he's stepping back is, I think, one of my favorite, most people, you know, they have lawsuits, something bad happens.

Nope.

not too long ago he had sold uh a significant stake of jersey mike's to this private equity giant blackstone for eight billion dollars so now he's decided you know what i'm gonna take a step back billion i'm gonna take a step back uh you know what i'll still be on the board wow i'll still be on the board and yeah you can call me if you want but i'm i'm busy

i'm busy yeah good for him yeah that's good for him what is he 70?

He's really nice.

Yeah, he's probably pretty aged.

He's been doing it for 50 years.

Yeah, that's a while.

He's old.

Yeah.

I'm surprised Jersey Mike is worth $8 billion.

They have 3,000 locations.

Oh, wow.

I mean,

a lot of locations.

It's pretty good.

He's been running it for 50 years, so he's at least, what, 68?

At least, at the very least, probably 70 or more.

Yeah, probably.

That's good for him.

No doubt about it.

Good for him.

Good for him.

Triple 8727BECK.

Freedom's like a wild horse.

If you don't grab the reins every once in a while, you're liable to catch a hoof to the face.

And trust me, that ain't pleasant.

Beck will be right back after this.

When you hear the term living better, what do you think about?

More money, bigger house, maybe a yacht?

Or do you think how you feel physically, how you wake up every day, how you sleep, what activities you can and can't do?

When you feel good, life is good.

It's easy for us to take our health for granted until we can't.

I came to that reality when I started feeling pain every day at about 45, and I started to lose hope until I found Relief Factor.

Relief Factor is a daily supplement that fights pain naturally.

Developed by doctors, it doesn't just mask the pain temporarily, it helps reduce or even eliminate pain.

In fact, the longer you take it, the more effective it is.

Give their three-week quick start a try.

It's $19.95, less than a dollar a day, and it takes one phone call, 800 for Relief.

That's 800, the number four relief.

Wherever you're hurting in three weeks or even days, Relief Factor can give you a chance to rediscover the true meaning of living better again.

ReliefFactor.com, ReliefFactor.com, 1-800-4 relief.

I love this story.

It is Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today.

You hear about the Chinese student, 27 years old, goes to Japan and hikes up Mount Fuji.

And on the way up.

And who hasn't?

By the way, just, I mean, that's, that's a

dime permit.

I hiked Mount Fuji.

It's a bucket list.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But he, he happens to get altitude sickness.

So he can't make it.

He gets really sick and he has to call for help.

And so they have to airlift him off the mountain.

Okay, so they've airlifted him now off the mountain.

Yeah.

They airlift him off the mountain.

Then he realizes, oh, crap, I left my phone up there.

So he goes back up the mountain.

He doesn't send a dupe person.

He doesn't send anybody.

He goes up the mountain again and gets altitude sickness again.

And they have to rescue him again.

This is awesome.

But did he get the phone the second time?

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows if he actually retrieved the phone.

They think that maybe he couldn't find it before he got sick.

Oh, wow.

So it's still there.

It's still there.

He'll probably go up a third time.

I would tell this guy, listen, Doofus.

You go up the mountain a third time.

We're not coming for it.

We're on your own.

Okay, you can hike back down.

You're on your own.

Wait till somebody comes down.

Maybe they could drag you down this thing.

Yep.

Yep.

That's awesome.

I love that story.

How much, if you're the rescuer, how much would that piss you off?

Oh, it happened twice in the same week.

Right.

So it was like three days later, he went back up the mountain.

Aren't you the same guy that you dragged out of here?

Yeah, I am, but I lost my phone.

I'm not going to buy another phone.

I just got sick again and I can't continue to climb.

So he did find his phone?

He really did?

Okay, good.

Thank goodness.

Now he can get himself back into shape and try to make that climb again because you want to check that off your bucket list.

You know, and it's not, I mean, it's high, but it's not that high.

It's 12,400 feet or something, Mount Fuji.

Yeah, that's high, but there's many higher peaks.

I can't take away from my bucket list.

I still want to climb up.

Do you?

You still want to go up Mount Fuji?

Yeah, okay.

Let me know when you go.

Maybe I'll videotape you going up the other side, yeah.

Okay.

Until I lose sight of you, clear up there somewhere.

You'd probably make it seven, eight feet up the side of the mountain, wouldn't you?

Seven, eight feet up at the end of the day.

This is Glenn Beck.

Much more coming up in just one minute.

But you know what moms love getting for Mother's Day?

Jewelry, spa days, maybe a nice brunch.

You know what they actually need?

Something that fires at 400 feet per second and drops a would-be attacker like a sack of potatoes.

There you go.

Introducing the all-new Burna Compact Launcher.

The smallest Burna yet, just a little bigger than a couple of smartphones stacked together and easy to conceal in a purse, bag, or a glove compartment.

No permit, no background check, legal in all 50 states.

These are really cool.

It's the perfect, perfect option for people who want serious protection but don't want to carry a firearm.

It fires Connecticut tear gas rounds with up to 41 joules of force.

That's enough to stop an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

Yeah, one shot, 40 minutes.

That's longer than some marriages.

Jeffy could talk about that.

We'll get into that later.

Hand assembled assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Over 80% of its components are American-made, and it's trusted by over 500 police departments.

You see in the TV ratings, Fox just doubled MSNBC in the ratings.

Huh.

They beat MSNBC and CNN combined.

Wow.

By a lot.

So.

They are dying on the vine over there, man.

Aren't they, though?

I mean, I don't know why you would watch MSNBC especially.

Personally, I don't.

Yeah, I don't.

I don't.

I mean, we catch the clips.

We play the clips that get shared on social media.

That's how I know about what happens on their networks.

But I don't watch it.

I rarely do I.

I mean, when

other people in my home are scrolling through the news cycles and stuff, once in a while,

it will be stopped on MSNBC or CNN.

And my father-in-law is sitting there, and he's like, I just want to see what these doofuses are doing.

And then he moves on.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's, I mean, that's all it's worth.

Yeah.

Even that's even a little too much, frankly.

That's even a little more attention than it deserves.

Because I'll come walking through and like, why do you have this network on?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

What are you watching?

Fox's weekday primetime ratings, in fact, landed as the second highest on all of TV,

beating out ABC's 2.9 million average viewers and NBC's 2.8 million viewers with a very solid 3.1 average, 3.1 million average viewers.

No, it's primetime.

Okay, okay.

Prime time.

CBS led the overall numbers with 4.9 million total viewers in primetime.

So CBS got some shows, that's why.

Fox,

then ABC,

then NBC.

That's incredible.

It's also incredible how

much

of the audience broadcast network television has lost.

A lot.

Because 4.9 million total viewers it used to be you know the winning network would have 30 million right or 25 million at least right but 4.9 now wow uh so so far in 2025 fox has averaged three and a half million weekday prime time viewers compared to nbc's 3.1 million and abc's 3 million That is really incredible.

That's really something.

Yeah.

Holy cow.

I mean,

look, Lester is doing everything he can to keep NBC afloat.

Your boy Lester at NBC.

Yeah, Lester.

He's doing everything he can.

Oh, my gosh.

He needs to be able to do that.

He's trying.

He's trying.

He can't do it alone.

No, he can't.

In fact, isn't he?

He's leaving the broadcast chair, right?

He's turned that over to somebody else now.

And that hurts you, I know, dude.

In the new future.

In the near future.

It hasn't happened yet.

I know.

No, okay.

As far as I know.

As far as I know, Lester's still there.

You mean you're not watching every night?

No, no, no.

That's weird.

Because he's your boy.

I know.

So, So how are you missing out on your boy?

I just don't.

All right.

We got to share this

Stephen Miller on deportations with you because Stephen Miller is one of the most outspoken and best voices in the Trump administration.

I love this guy.

This guy, you'd like to have him with you, with you every day, just to take over your conversations.

Yes.

Somebody asked you a question.

You never lose a conversation or an argument if Stephen Miller is nearby.

Excuse me, Mr.

Fishop.

Steve?

That'd be great.

Yes.

And so here is what he had to say on deportations.

You want to hit a million deportations this year at least.

You're at 139,000, and you still hit a million this year.

Well, the rate of deportation is increasing every single day.

Remember, we inherited a system that was completely shut down.

It was completely broke.

And now President Trump is working with the overwhelming backing and support of the American public to get that system operating at full speed and efficiency.

And once we clear away some of these rogue district court injunctions, we'll be able to operate with an even greater degree of force and speed.

And so I think we will vastly exceed that number in addition to all of the self-deportations that are occurring and will continue to occur.

And once we're able to begin applying these increasingly significant consequences financially and criminally for legal aliens who choose to remain, we will see even faster and quicker voluntary departures from the United States.

Bottom line is that the president is going to continue and expand and accelerate the effort to remove from our midst people who have no lawful right to be here, and we will do so without apology.

Thank you.

And we will do so without apology.

Thank you.

Thank you.

In other words, beat it.

I've said all I'm going to say on this topic.

Now beat it.

I'll get another meeting to go to, so we're done.

I love it.

He just doesn't care.

He and Tom Homan,

well, really, everybody in the administration is like this, right?

Very familiar with all the facts.

Yeah.

All the information that they need to talk about.

Yep.

And they're not taking it from the press

to try to spin things in a different way.

Right.

It's just, it's fun to watch.

It's very refreshing.

He did have a little bit more, though, on deporting mothers because, you know,

they've deported mothers.

Is that the best way to really spend our time?

Mothers.

First of all, they tried to make this about deporting two-year-old children.

Right, the children.

They're deporting two-year-olds, just snatching up children in daycare centers and sending them out of the country.

Right.

Here's how we address that.

Is it the best use of the administration's resources to going after moms of young kids, basically?

Do you yourself have an opinion on this subject?

I'm more interested in yours.

Well, what percentage of the, let's just pick an even number of, say,

10 million illegal aliens?

Let's say that Biden released, I think it's closer to 20 million.

Let's say he released 10 million illegal aliens into the country over the last four years.

What percentage do you think we should stay here of those 10 million?

I'm not trying to do a game shot.

No, but I'm saying, no, no, but if you think that's the best use of the- Well, hold on.

But

is it your view that if a Democrat president releases 10, 15, 20 million legals into the country, they all then should get to stay forever and for all of life?

Stephen, I don't have a view about what Democratic presidents do.

I'm asking what the Republican president does.

Okay, so you don't want to answer the question because you know the answer is obvious.

Everyone that Biden let in has to go home.

Of course.

It's a crazy thing to even ask.

Do you think they should give administrative amnesty to some subset of the illegals that bottom-up issues.

Here's how we're prioritizing it.

ICE is going to continue to focus on raids against high-threat criminal aliens.

We're going to use the entire force and power of the federal government to get them all home.

Many will choose also to leave voluntarily and take advantage of the CBP home app.

But we are not going to ask taxpayers to subsidize the presence of a single illegal alien in this country.

That's so great.

Nice.

And again, they're doing it without apology.

And if you want to make this about deporting mothers, okay, go ahead.

But they're deporting everybody who shouldn't be here.

What is wrong with that?

Right.

There's nothing wrong with that.

They shouldn't be here.

They're here illegally.

What part of that don't you understand?

It's just, it's, it's madness.

It sure is.

And we've been

putting up with it for way too long.

Absolutely.

And I appreciate how he turns it around just a little bit.

What's the number that you would like us to

deport?

I'm more interested in your opinion.

Are you having an opinion on who we should deport?

Of course you don't.

Of course you don't.

That's exactly why you're asking the question.

Yes.

Yes.

That's the best use of the government's resources.

And you're asking it with that snotty attitude and a negative way.

And of course you have.

Absolutely.

You have an opinion on the subject.

Why don't you tell me?

How many do we leave?

Out of the 10 million, how many should stay?

9 million?

Let me know.

8 million?

What do you think?

All the mothers should stay here and their brothers.

Bring it up for the next cabinet Tell me what you think.

Right.

And I'll bring it to President Trump and we'll talk about it at the next meeting.

I mean, it's silly.

And I love it that they put these reporters in their place.

I do, too.

It's just great because they've had their way with it for how long now?

Decades, really, decades.

And now I think that President Trump and his staff got together and they decided at the very beginning, you know what?

We're not going to just take it this time.

Right.

We're going to give some of it back to them.

And they are.

And they are.

They're doing just that.

Carolyn Levitt, who's also pretty darn good in this case,

was talking about protecting whistleblowers the other day.

I can tell you, certainly the president commends anyone who steps out and speaks the truth, especially against

the malpractice that we saw over the last four years under the previous administration.

I could speak to the two cases at the Treasury Department.

The two whistleblowers there who blew the whistle on the Hunter Biden tax fraud case have been promoted by Secretary Bessett.

So certainly we commend anyone who has the courage to step up and speak the truth.

And as for those who unfortunately try to leak, especially classified information to the legacy media to put our troops in harm's way, our law enforcement officials

harm's way, leaks like that will not be tolerated.

But those who are seeking to protect the truth will certainly be commended and applauded for that.

She also

had some things to say about Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Epstein files.

Oh, yeah, kind of interesting.

I can assure you that the Attorney General and her team at the Department of Justice are working on this diligently.

For a specific timeline, I'd have to check in with them.

And we can certainly do that for you, Rogan, in the effort of transparency.

But I will tell you, The Attorney General is a bulldog.

She is someone you want on your team.

And when she wants to get something done, she gets it done.

I've seen her do it in various instances already in her time as Attorney General.

And when she makes a promise, she keeps it.

So I think I don't have a specific timeline on you for that, but I do know that they're working on it over there.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

That's what you keep saying.

Yeah.

I mean, we keep hearing that it's on your desk.

Well, see, we heard her say so in the beginning,

she and Cash Patel.

And so we bought into that, that they were going to release those right away.

But they haven't yet.

Now it's on the desk.

There's

piles on top of that.

We can't get to it right now.

Yeah, it seems to be under some other files.

Yeah,

it's not more important, but it's there.

I can't reach it right now.

Is it too heavy?

Are the files on top of it?

I'll get to the piles on top of it.

I just can't get to it.

I want to.

Man, do I have to.

Do we get a forklift in here and lift the files on top of it?

The code regulations won't allow a forklift in here, so sorry.

So I don't know if that's what it is.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know either.

I mean, everybody, that just opens up the conspiracy world even more.

It does, yeah.

Forever.

I mean, I want to believe them that that's what they're doing.

They're trying to release it.

I do too.

But they haven't yet.

No, they haven't.

So we'll see.

Maybe they still will, and maybe that'll be coming soon.

I don't know.

But they won't give us any time.

I mean, they gave us a little preview thing, right?

Wasn't that the preview release?

Was that the Epstein style?

Well,

they gave us the JFK files and then some more files on that.

And then they gave us some MLK stuff.

And then there was.

And the Epstein thing, they gave a list of

names he had in his contact list or something.

Doesn't mean that they were with him on the island or any of that, but I think they gave a contact.

Because I've seen the

address book from his office,

which had names and numbers in it, but it wasn't, you know, that so what.

He was always fundraising and looking for money so i don't know what that means but uh

i don't i haven't seen any anything that's legitimate information about who was all there why he was traveling all of that yeah still looking forward yeah

uh all right uh more coming up in just one minute

you know some people are born into service mark halbert was one of these people.

His father spent 25 years in uniform and his grandfather fought in World War II.

And when it came time, Mark followed in their footsteps, joining the U.S.

Army and serving multiple tours overseas, including three in Afghanistan.

On his fourth tour, Mark stepped on an IED.

In the resulting horrific explosion, Mark lost two fingers and both of his legs.

And that could have been the end of the story, but it wasn't, thanks in part to the work they're doing over at Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

They built Mark and his family a mortgage-free, smart home.

Just built it for him.

It's a home that gives him the independence and dignity he earned with every sacrifice he made.

Tunnel to Towers doesn't just say thank you to our heroes, they show it by giving back to those who have given everything.

Men like Mark, families like Marks.

Help even more of America's heroes by supporting Tunnel to Towers.

Now 10 seconds, station ID.

So, I saw a story out of Montana that I thought maybe reminded me of you, Pat.

I know you were from the Mean Streets.

From the Mean Streets of Hellena, Montana.

Yeah, yeah.

So, seniors at Conrad High School,

which that's

not on the Mean Streets.

That's way up there, right?

Yeah, I think it's by Canada.

Yeah, I mean, that's up there in the Indian Reservation country.

Yes.

They orchestrated a senior prank.

They found out that

it was

if they rode their horses to school,

the principal was responsible for feeding and caring for them during the school day.

What?

That's a law.

What?

That's a law, according to Conrad.

Is that real?

It's actually a law.

Uh-huh.

That if you ride your horse to school,

the principal of that school must take care of your horse.

I'm surprised you're not aware of it, being from Montana.

Well, I didn't know.

I don't know about the Conrad law.

I didn't ride my horse all that often.

It's pretty dangerous on the main streets.

Yes, it is.

The bullet fire, the gunfire is too extensive.

So the last day of school, all the seniors rode their horses to school.

The principals had to take care of them.

Did they do it?

Yes, they did.

And I guess it was

well received by the school community.

I wonder if they told them in advance.

Just good, clean, fun right there.

Except I'm sure it wasn't very clean.

What was coming out of the horses was probably not all that clean.

Listen, it's Montana's rural heritage than the enduring presence of equestrian culture for the region.

No.

The answer is no.

So you get back on that horse and ride it back home.

I'm not doing that.

I'm not doing that.

They're not clearing that up.

They must have cleared that in advance, right?

Okay.

Otherwise, they've got a really good-humored principal

in Congress.

The law of printed out saying, it's the law.

You take care of my horse.

I don't know.

That's amazing.

That is.

That's a fun principle.

That's a fun principle.

I'll tell you this.

My principal from the Main Streets at Capitol High School in Helena, he would not have taken care of that horse.

No.

What if it was

the law?

If it's the Conrad law, I don't know if it's just a Conrad law.

It must be just a Conrad law because I'm pretty sure our Helena principal would not have done that.

But maybe that's just me.

I don't know.

It says here that this is a Montana law.

Really?

Not just a Conrad law.

Wow.

I wish we would have known about it and ridden our horses.

I can't tell you how many times I wanted to ride my horse to school when I was in high school.

I could because I thought many, many times.

I'm not going to be able to take care of it.

But you don't have to.

Yeah, you don't have to.

The principal will.

That's his problem.

Yeah, thank you.

Or hers.

Or hers.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Using Judger's language.

Right.

That's it's wrong.

It's absolutely wrong.

That is amazing, though.

Yeah, that's funny.

That's a fun story.

That's just good for them.

Good, clean

fawn.

Yeah.

All right.

You ever cleaned out horse stalls?

No, I haven't cleaned out.

Because I have.

Have you cleaned out horse stalls?

I have, actually.

Really?

Honestly, you have.

One of the first jobs I ever had, a guy in our neighborhood, Mr.

Wallace,

owned

show ponies.

And he took me out to the fairgrounds where he kept his horses every Saturday.

And I had to shovel out the horse stalls and take care of the horses and feed and water them.

Again, no, thank you.

I came home.

I remember Mr.

Wallace, the old guy then.

I mean, I was just a little kid, and he asked me if I wanted a job doing that.

And I came home and asked my dad, you think I should go out to the fairgrounds and clean the horse stalls for Mr.

Wallace?

I'll bet he said, yes.

Yes.

Get out.

More than one day a week or just one day a week?

No, more than one day.

Like every Saturday.

Just every Saturday out there cleaning up Mr.

Wallace's horse stalls.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, it's not.

It's a job you loved, right?

It is a job.

I wish you did it still.

Well,

I don't.

I'm surprised.

But I did it.

You don't want to continue to do it?

Yeah, I did.

I I did a lot of it.

Played horseballs.

It felt like a long time ago.

Seriously, how long did you do it?

Like one week,

one day.

No,

one day.

I mean, at least a summer.

Yeah?

Really?

Yeah, at least.

You did it a full summer.

It had to be at least that long, yeah.

That's pretty good.

That's pretty good.

I'm surprised.

You've done some good, honest work in your life.

I'm not a quitter.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Well, there you go.

Jeff Fisher is not a quitter.

Not a quitter.

All right.

We got to tell you about the Port of Los Angeles officials and what they're saying about tariffs and the shipments because of the tariffs that may or may not be coming into the Port of Los Angeles next week.

I'm sure it's going to affect a lot of ports.

Yeah.

Not just the Port of Los Angeles, but they are saying that the shipments are going to be down just a bit.

Yeah, we'll get into that.

And a lot more coming up.

This is Glenn Beck.

This month and every month, we remember the over 66 million babies whose lives have been senselessly sacrificed on the altar of abortion.

Surely, the left doesn't understand the repercussions of a land that takes the blood of the innocent.

And that should only motivate us more to save more babies and their their moms.

Pre-born is a network of clinics and they fight every day to save more babies and more moms.

To date, they've rescued over 300,000 babies' lives by introducing a mom to her child on an ultrasound.

That baby's chance at life doubles.

Pre-born showers moms and babies with God's love and assistance for up to two years.

So when they shout abortion, we shout life.

Let's save more babies this year than last.

One ultrasound is just $28 and only $140 will help rescue five babies.

All of the gifts are tax-deductible.

So donate securely.

Dial pound250.

Say the keyword baby.

That's pound250.

More Glenn Beck next.

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today, triple eight seven two seven B E C K.

This will make you feel old.

There are at least 22 classic timeless albums that turned 50 this year.

Oh, wow, They've been out for 50 years.

Number one, Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run.

You believe that?

50

years.

Years ago, that came out.

The Fleetwood Mac album, self-titled Fleetwood Mac.

So this isn't rumors.

It's not quite.

Rumors is only like 48 years-ish.

Then we got David Bowie, Young Americans.

Wow.

Led Zeppelin,

Physical Graffiti,

50 years old this year.

She's like, I can't believe it.

Queen, A Night at the Opera.

I think that's the one.

Is that the one with Bohemian Rhapsody?

I'm not sure.

Yeah, it is.

It's the one with Bohemian Rhapsody on it.

Really good.

That's been a hit so many times, though.

That's a timeout.

All these albums, I remember sitting on my grandfather's lap listening to.

Do you?

Do you?

So you're

still listening to this.

I know that's not true because if you sat on your grandfather's

lap 50 years ago, you crushed him dead.

He's not living anymore after that.

That hurts.

Why?

That hurts.

What do you mean?

I'm just saying you're a little big for his lap.

That's all I'm saying.

And you would have either crushed his legs and they would have had to.

No, I understand what you meant.

I got what you meant.

Or he just flat out died from the trauma.

I don't know.

One of those.

Again, I understand what you meant.

Do you?

Yeah.

Okay.

I just wanted to make sure.

All right.

Good thing we don't fat shame on this show, though.

Thank you.

You know what I mean?

Thank you.

That's what I'm saying.

I do not fat shame on this show.

I don't tolerate it.

Bob Dylan, Blood on the Tracks.

You're a Dylan fan, right?

50 years, yeah.

You like him?

Yeah, I do.

Yeah.

I'm not a big Danlin.

It's a Dylan fan.

I was forced to like Bob.

Who forced you?

My first wife.

Okay.

My first wife was a big fan of his.

Nothing you can do about that.

That's the one with Tangled Up and Blue in it.

I only know from the Hootie and the Blowfish song

because he used it

in his hit song.

Patty Smith, Horses

came out 50 years ago.

Never been a big Patty Smith fan.

Earth, Wind, and Fire.

That's the way of the world 50

years ago.

Holy crap.

That is just amazing.

Pink Floyd, wish you were here.

I mean, all of these albums are still being played.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

50 years are pretty incredible.

It is incredible.

The music has stood the standard.

It shows you the timelessness of the music.

It really does.

Yeah.

Paul Simon, still crazy after all these years.

50 years old.

Neil Young, Tonight's the Night.

Joni Mitchell.

The hissing of summer lawns.

Not one of my favorites.

Really?

Really?

No.

Really?

No, really.

What is your Joni Mitchell favorite?

Oh, man.

Man, when you're talking Joni Mitchell,

it's hard to pick one.

Okay.

But

she did Big Yellow Taxi.

Yeah.

Right?

Yeah.

That's my favorite Joni Mitchell song.

Yeah, right there.

I mean, who doesn't love that song?

There's nobody who doesn't love that song.

Nobody.

Actually, I don't even like it from her.

I like it from.

Who was it that redid redid that?

It's been redone a couple of times.

Time in the 90s, though.

Can't even think of the name of the band, but

Roxy Music, Siren, came out in 1975.

Yeah, well, I was forced to like that.

Jeez.

As did The Who, The Who by Numbers.

Aerosmith, Toys in the Attic.

Man, oh, man.

Had a friend with an eight-track player.

I didn't have one in

any of our cars,

but my friend had an eight-track player.

Yeah.

You didn't hook an eight-track player up to the horse?

Did not.

No.

No.

A separate speaker on the saddle?

No.

Okay.

Had to make do by getting into my friend's LTD and firing up.

So good.

And, you know, at the time, it was really cool.

Because that's all we had.

That was even before cassettes.

The clicking of tracks

right in the middle of a song sometimes.

Sometimes, but you were

pretty fortunate when the song would end and then it would change to it.

Yes.

You were very fortunate because they didn't really care.

No, they did not.

At the time, I think when they first started, they didn't care, and then they began to care.

Yeah, and then it was too late.

Then we'd already moved on.

Then, by then, it was like, okay, you know what would be better than this?

Is the cassette thing?

Let's do a cassette tape.

Yeah.

And then it was like, you know what's even better than that?

Let's do a CD.

Yeah.

And then came digital, and now it's all of that stuff's completely obsolete.

Jeff Beck, Blow by Blow.

Oh, yeah, great album.

Kiss Alive, 50 years.

Wow.

Are they still together?

Is Kiss still around?

Yeah, I think they're actually on their final leg of

their final tour.

Of the whole world, yeah.

Yeah, and they still dress up, right?

Because they went through a phase, I remember, where they stopped doing that.

Remember that?

They got, I don't know, they had some big fight or something, but I mean, then they tried to make everybody feel bad because the costumes weighed so much and, you know, they're getting old, so it takes a lot for them to lug around that entire process nobody cared get back in the makeup and shut up we're not here to see you that okay

right hey we wouldn't we wouldn't have liked you as much if that's that's true yeah so it was a really good it was a really good way to uh be noticed and we liked it and it worked they were monsters man stick with it okay just stick with it so anyway uh big yellow taxi so you got uh harry styles version you got county crows county crows county County Crows.

That's who I was thinking of.

County Crows.

Yeah.

Harry Styles.

I didn't know he did it.

I like Harry Styles.

He's good.

You don't like Harry Styles?

I just said, I'm sure it's great.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Because

it was the way in which

it's the Joni Mitchell song to begin with.

Uh-huh.

It is.

So, yeah.

So,

the Isley Brothers, The Heat is On.

Gray double.

Let's see.

That had the hit single For the Love of You on it.

All right uh 10cc wow

10cc the original soundtrack yeah i'm not in love is on that is on that particular album great song love i'm not in love uh parliament mothership connection oh 50 years old uh steve reich i don't even know who that is who's steve reich are you familiar with him musician for 18 musicians

All of those

albums.

50 years old now.

And they're all, I mean, again, they're all great albums, and I'm really happy that my grandfather turned me on to them.

Played almost all those on the radio.

Certainly the 10cc,

Kiss.

You know, back in the day, we played all of this.

Errol Smith.

But I didn't make it to the radio until I was a junior in high school.

So that was a couple years after this.

Actually, thank you.

You're

But Jeffy was on his grandfather's lap at the time.

I was too listened to him right now.

Crushing his poor legs and

putting him in the hospital.

Had the phonograph right there in front of us.

That's all there was, except for the eight track.

That's pretty much all there was.

Everybody listened to it on a phonograph.

Absolutely.

Just put that album on the little turntable and off it it went at 33 and a third on the bottom.

I remember when my grandfather purchased a Zenith Allegro quad system

that he thought was just awesome.

Your grandfather thought that?

My grandfather bought that.

Yeah.

Had an eight-track tape player, AM-FM radio, turntable, four speakers.

Was it in a huge...

It's just awesome.

No, this was a separate thing.

Oh, it was a separate thing.

Yeah, it wasn't like the Magnavox or the

other.

Yeah,

those, holy holy cow, those were.

They weighed about 5,000 pounds.

You're not stealing those.

No, you're not.

You're not stealing those.

You can barely get them in the house.

Unless you brought a forklift with you.

You can barely get them in the house.

People left them when they moved because they didn't want to move them.

Yeah.

They did.

We had that in my house, the house I grew up with, until,

I think still till my mom died.

I bet.

Which was in 2017.

I bet.

Now, man, maybe the TV worked, maybe the TV didn't, but I'm sure the radio still did.

The radio still did.

The radio worked.

I think the turntable worked.

Never used it, but we, and I don't know if the eight-track worked or not because we didn't have any more eight-tracks at the time.

So

amazing, though.

And she kept that forever.

Set the flat screen up on top.

Yes, they did.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah,

I know.

Because it was a good-looking piece of furniture, actually.

You know, it looked okay.

It was fine.

Pushed up against the wall.

And you couldn't move it.

Were you able to cover the TV screen or was that just there?

No, it was just there.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

No, it was, it didn't come with a cabinet where you could close it and not have to look at it.

All right.

Triple eight seven two seven BECK.

More coming up.

This is

Glenn Beck.

Did you know that just like here in the U.S., Israel celebrates their Independence Day?

That's right, this year, Israel's Independence Day is May 1st.

But for the people of Israel, freedom is really nothing more than a daily struggle just to survive.

There's no real peace, only terror.

It's difficult to find moments of joy while there's so much suffering.

And the Israeli government relies on the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews for its ongoing help to make sure the elderly, the sick, the wounded soldiers, and impoverished families don't fall through the cracks.

We can't even imagine the courage of the Israeli people.

They're They're so brave and worthy of our prayers.

We'd like to ask you for a gift to the fellowship today.

It'll provide life-saving aid, medicine, hearty meals, safety, and comfort.

And I believe when we bless God's people of Israel, we unlock God's blessing in our own lives as well.

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

Call and make your gift at 888-488-IFCJ.

That's 888-488-IFCJ 4325.

Or go online to supportifcj.org.

One word, supportifcj.org.

Spetens and Jeffy for Glenn today, for Glenn and Stu, triple eight, seven two seven, B-E-C-K.

Just went over some of the albums that are now 50 years old.

Just heard another interesting statistic that BJ brought up for us.

This was, it was 50 years ago that all four Beatles appeared on the chart at the same time for the last time ever.

Wow.

All four of the solo Beatles were on the album or on the charts at the same time.

Top 40.

Top 40 hits.

Yeah.

Incredible.

Each of them had one.

Was it January of 75?

Yeah, it was January 18th.

January 18th, 1975.

So Paul McCartney was on at number seven on the top 40 list with Juniors Farm.

Okay.

Ringo had the number 12 song, Only You.

Number nine, Dream from John Lennon was 29th.

And George Harrison's Dark Horse was number 33 on the song.

Wow.

Isn't that interesting?

That's really something.

Barney's still up front.

As he was every time.

And you know that that galled John Lennon.

Wow.

Like,

you can't believe it.

He thought he was going to be the most successful solar.

I mean, he had to deal with Yoko in his ear forever, telling him, I can't believe it.

I can't

That had to hurt.

Oh, man.

That had to hurt.

Just to shut her up.

He's complaining.

McCartney was by far the most successful solo.

And then Lennon wasn't even number two.

He was third.

George Harrison was number two.

Is that amazing?

It's incredible.

All right.

We got Nick in New Jersey has some information for us.

Okay.

We were talking about Steve Reich, who is like number 20 on the list or something.

Mr.

All Composer, right?

I don't know who he is.

I didn't know, but Nick does.

Yes, he was the one artist I cared about on the list.

Oh, really?

Okay.

Who was he?

Steve Reich is a percussionist and classical composer.

He's a minimalist, though.

So he has his early works include songs such as A Loop in Stereo of a Preacher saying, It's going to rain, it's going to rain, it's going to rain, you know, clip from

Noah's Ark.

So he also has

sounds fantastic.

David Bird did a lot of that stuff with

audio like that.

So you like that stuff, Nick?

Yeah, dude.

I love it.

It annoys my family all the time with it.

I have for 18 musicians.

That was all.

But he also covers themes such as 9-11,

themes such as, oh, what's the other one?

You know, the Holocaust, things like that.

Things of historical significance.

He has

the song Different Trains is about the Holocaust, and he has people reciting

actual audio of people talking about their experiences in Germany

to a string quartet going

over and over again.

Wow.

Sounds like pretty heavy subject,

no kidding.

Yeah.

All right.

Appreciate it.

Thanks a lot.

It sounds fascinating.

It does.

It's interesting.

That's awesome.

I love the preacher master stuff.

David Byrne

used to

talking heads.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Used to create stuff like that too all the time.

Interesting.

You know, it's interesting how many pop artists went on to do classical music for movies and things.

You know, like Danny Elfman, for instance, became a bottom-up.

Huge.

Huge.

Huge in the movie industry.

And

if you're not familiar, was in Oingo Boingo back in the 80s,

which I liked.

Oh, absolutely.

I liked a lot.

Dead Man's Party.

All right.

So in Washington, D.C.,

the owner is actually going to pay

for part of his own stadium.

They're looking to build a whole new complex, 177 acres, housing, retail.

Because they're clear out in Maryland right now.

Yeah, they're coming back.

They're coming back to RFK.

Correct.

And so they're saying that he's going to, it's going to be, you know, this is a huge thing centered around the brand new stadium, 65,000-seat domed stadium or roofed stadium, which all stadiums should be for the NFL, by the way.

I completely disagree with that.

All right.

Whatever.

But the commander.

It's football.

If it was baseball, that'd be different.

The games are worth way too much money

before they have to worry about the weather.

But the weather is proud.

But the top that Baltimore Buffalo or the Buffalo team to build a new stadium in Buffalo, New York without a dome is criminal.

You know why they didn't do it?

Here's why they didn't do it.

The fans would have had a revolution in Buffalo.

They would have been so pissed.

Well, then they wouldn't have had to travel to Detroit when it snowed too much.

No, but

they still.

They love it.

They love it.

The fact that

they have big snow days there and they have to play in the snow.

That's great.

We all love it.

So how much of the stadiums are you going to pay for so he pledged 2.7 billion oh he pledged 2.7

billion okay now that's what's it going to cost he's looking for the taxpayers to come come in with a billion no and the taxpayers how about no well they've already they're already paying a billion mr billionaire how about you buy your own stadium all of it they're already paying a ballpark fee tax so they might as well

extend it they're just going to extend it instead of letting it run in perpetuity like forever well no we will know until they get to what paid off.

Okay,

wow.

A number of people are saying no to that.

They're on your side.

They're on your side.

Yeah.

And they should be.

The billionaire owner should pay for his own stadium.

All park fee tax is already there.

Just look at it.

It's already there.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it.

They're already paying taxes.

We'll just keep them going.

Ah.

All right.

We'll see you tomorrow.
