Let me tell you about American Financing, our sponsor for the plays this half hour.

The average American is finding it difficult to pay expenses every month, and in most cases, there's nothing left to cover any, you know, any extras.

Most are not getting a big raise.

And with expenses being so high, it can be hard to manage without grabbing the credit cards.

And when you do, if you are sitting behind the eight ball of one of these credit cards that is charging you 20, 25,

30 percent, my gosh, even 18 percent, if you can get that down into the

low single digits, even mid-single digits, you're going to save a ton of money.

In fact, the average person

from this listening audience, just like you, they're saving about $800 a month.

That would free you up from an awful lot.

There's no upfront fees.

There's no obligation.

You just call them.

Find out how much money you could be saving every month.

Hello, America.

You know, when I was a kid, we used to play Cowboys and Indians because we were convinced the Cowboys were good and the Indians were bad.

Well, that's not true historically.

Parts of it are true.

Sometimes the Cowboys were the good guys, and sometimes the Indians were the good guys.

But things are not as gray sometimes as everybody wants it to be.

We can, you know, pretty easily see the difference between the good guys and the bad guys.

And that's what's happening with immigration, but nobody's really defining that.

And

I want to make something really, really crystal clear on what's happening with Colombia.

I'll explain in 60 seconds.

First,

if you see your dog today, you might want to thank him because he didn't eat you last night.

If he got hungry, he didn't do that.

And with me, it's tempting for my dog.

but your dog should be eating whatever you put in the bowl and that could be plain old kibble food but his body is telling him that's not giving me the stuff that I need he needs rough greens on top of that kibble food it's a supplement created by naturopathic Dr.

Dennis Black specifically to make your pet healthier because all of the stuff that's alive is cooked out by law that that kibble food has to sit up on a shelf and not go bad for two two and a half years you're going to feed that to your kids Enzymes, omega-oils, antioxidants, probiotics, vitamins, everything your dog needs to improve his coat, digestion, his energy, and you'll have fewer vet bills.

Hello to our executive producer, Mr.

Stuberge.

Glenn, how are you this morning?

Oh, I'm good.

I'm good.

You know, I was interested last night with the Colombian president's daughter.

Ooh.

Well, she decided she was going to

throw some shade Donald Trump's way.

Okay.

Okay.

She was very upset.

And she posted last night: for every Colombian deported, we'll return a gringo.

And my thought was, all right.

I mean, if they're there illegally, I'm fine with that.

Anyone have a problem with that?

We shouldn't, you shouldn't let them there illegally.

If you catch them, that's right.

You should just be the deal.

Send them back.

Yeah, send it back to them.

So, but actually, what she said was, we'll return a gringo from the poblado.

Now, the poblado.

It's a pepper.

It's like it's not super spicy.

No.

The poblado is the red light district in Colombia.

And apparently, if you do any research for like five seconds, you'll see that,

you know, maybe she has a point on this.

And it's one I'm in full agreement on.

A few months ago, I think it was last April, a 36-year-old American caught in a hotel room in Poblado with two underage girls.

One was 12, one was 13.

Now, okay, good.

Yes, we should, whoever this person is, if that's actually a true story, assuming.

It is a true story.

Okay.

Then

sure, send them back here.

We'll throw them in prison for you.

I'd love to throw him in prison.

I'd love to throw him in prison.

Even though together they were 25, Your Honor.

Doesn't matter.

No, yeah, you can't add them up.

That's something a lot of people in Hollywood didn't really know.

And that is a rule.

That is a rule.

Now, there's somebody else that is also, and I think still on the loose in Ohio, but I cannot seem to find a single story on this other than he was charged with this in Columbia and they let him go.

And now he's back in the United States.

And if he's guilty of this crime, he should be returned.

Okay.

You know, if he was, if he was in the hotel room with a 12 and 13 year old and they were

caught with their pants down, so to speak, yeah, he should go to jail.

And I'd prefer that him go to jail in Colombia because I have a feeling it would be much worse for him than in the United States.

But it's up to Colombia.

You want him back and you want to prosecute him?

I'm totally cool with that.

As long as it's fair and it's, you know, just.

You want him for us to do it?

I don't really have a problem.

You know, I don't think they fare well in prison when they've been hurting little kids.

So, either way, I'm totally cool.

However, there is a problem in Colombia with sex tourism, and it's really getting bad.

There was another guy, he was in Florida, he was,

what do you call it, a pharmacist.

And he was caught getting onto a plane going to Colombia.

And, you know, he was caught because there's been all kinds of allegations against him.

And one of the things that they found on his phone was, you know, him talking to the sex trafficker saying, hey, you know how I like him.

I like him under 10, you know, and all of this horrible, horrible stuff, and then negotiating a price.

Well, we caught him.

Now, again, we caught him here, but if Colombia wants to take care of him and they, and they, you know, love to do that,

I'm all for it.

Here in America, this guy will only get 15 years.

And I think that's sick.

But

we are the ones who go on the sex tourism, you know

jaunts americans are responsible for a lot of this stuff and that's got to stop it's got to stop so i just wanted to say to the um colombian president's daughter you're right

you are absolutely right send those gringos back i am so glad that we agree on what we're really talking about here criminals that are making our streets and our citizens unsafe who are targeting our women and our children.

Amen.

Thank you.

We are on the same page.

So problem solved there.

I don't know why everybody's crying about this.

Now,

there's a problem.

We have Ron DeSantis on with us in just a minute from Florida.

He's fighting a bunch rhinos.

He's trying to pass a bunch of legislation.

He's called for a

special session

of the Florida House and Senate.

And apparently they don't like that.

They don't like that.

They don't like being called back from their vacation.

Oh, Crimea River.

They're saying that it's not an emergency.

And he says, yes, it is.

Donald Trump is trying to get these illegals out of our states.

And we have to do everything we can.

And the rhinos, the ones who are running, basically the ones who are running for his job

and the ones that haven't been so helpful to him recently, they're the ones that are really slowing things down.

But we're going to talk to him about that.

But you have CNN

going into Chicago and reporting all the sad, sad news.

All this sad news.

Yesterday, oh my gosh, we have Selena.

Do we have the audio of Selena?

She was so sad.

Selena Gomez?

Yeah, listen.

I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry.

Only people are getting attacked.

Only children.

And the children.

Children.

They don't understand.

She doesn't understand.

I'm so sorry.

I wish I could do something, but I can't.

I don't know what to do.

I'll try everything I've.

You could virtue signal.

Doing that real well.

She's got to have large houses.

I would assume that many of these people could come live with her.

Absolutely.

So she says, apparently it's not okay to show empathy for people.

And she's wrong there.

The ability

to understand and share feelings of one another,

that is really, really important.

It forces us to put ourselves in the shoes of other people and feel compassion for the situations that they face.

It's what Jesus teaches to feel empathy.

Now, empathy

can be a practical practice, a vital one, even in the political world.

You know, in 2021, a column in foreign policy argues, quote, it's harder to persuade a rival to alter its behavior if you don't understand its origins.

That's why shutting people up is so bad.

You have to talk to each other because we have to understand one another.

And when we do, we can solve problems.

It's like I just solved that problem with Colombia.

I understand where she's coming from.

Yeah, we agree.

Perfect.

It is a little hard to understand where Selena is coming from,

but I'd invite her on the show to talk it out here, considering the only deportations occurring right now involve violent criminals who have been charged multiple times with serious crimes.

But I digress here.

The net of deportations widens.

It's going to.

And

more ordinary migrant families are going to become affected.

Maybe even migrants who you interact with in your own life.

It shouldn't make you feel wrong.

When you feel empathy, that doesn't make you wrong.

It also doesn't make you a liberal.

It should just,

you should recognize it and proceed with caution because

many,

like Selena and television, are really manipulating compassion.

They've altered it from a human Christ-like emotion to a political weapon that monopolizes it only for certain groups of sufferers.

You know, the term bleeding heart was first associated with liberals in 1938 in a column thanks to Westbrook

Pegler.

He was a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who had a knack for nicknaming rivals, kind of like Donald Trump.

And while Bleeding Heart Liberal isn't quite as catchy as Sleepy Joe or Tampon Tim, which is very good, It still stuck.

And it was used again by Joe McCarthy during the Red Scare, then again by Ronald Reagan in the 80s to describe his past Democrat-leaning ways.

But what was once considered an insult about the left is now their new mantra.

They just, you know, they hung their hats on it.

They're like, we're bleeding hard liberals and you are just fascist Nazis.

They're the compassionate ones who wanted everybody to have a fair shake.

And so do I.

So do I.

The problem with far-left compassion is it's only reserved for those who serve the political message that they're trying to push.

Empathy for everyone?

No, no, that can't happen.

In fact, empathy for anyone else that is labeled something else is racism, bigotry, homophobia, hatred, just pre-unfiltered evil, Hitlerism, whatever.

Now, you can have empathy and should have empathy for the black man killed on a subway after a drug-laced tirade against other passengers.

But if you're on the left, not the white man who stepped in to help, just the guy who was on drugs and out of control.

You can have empathy for the clearly confused transgender

teen who is just trying to participate in sports at his,

or some would say her school.

But you cannot have that sympathy for the girls, the females that it affects.

You can have empathy for the migrants fearing what deportation will do to their families and their futures, the ones who illegally crossed the border because of the cartel-backed kidnappings and assassinations were getting too close to home.

But you cannot have empathy for those who have been severely affected by Biden's open border policies, the ones that,

you know, you can't have sympathy for anybody who might have lost a teenage daughter or anybody else in Denver.

where the gangs are out of control, or the ones who have been jobless for years because migrants are willing to do the same work for less, or the migrant children who have become victims of human trafficking.

You can't have sympathy for the 300,000 children that the Biden administration lost track of.

Don't have sympathy.

You don't even talk about them.

But I'm here to tell you that you should have sympathy for everybody on all sides.

You should have empathy for any side, any person that is affected by this.

Real empathy.

See, empathy, real

empathy has been absent from the the left for far too long.

And it's caused dangerous situations, you know, on this side of the border, on the other side of the border, for the people who are, you know, getting up on a train and riding a death train to the border.

That's insanity.

Where's your empathy for those people?

So let's be empathetic,

but let's not omit the facts and the illegality of those who are crossing the border.

As long as you remember that in a situation like mass deportations, while the struggles on both sides may be very real and sad and worthy of compassion,

at the end of the day, only one side acted incorrectly.

Only one side broke the law.

The other side did not.

And if you believe in justice, there must be consequences.

So, no, Selena, it is okay to show empathy.

In fact, we encourage it.

In fact, I think our world needs more empathy.

As long as the empathy is applied equally to all people affected.

As long as your empathy doesn't erase truth.

All right, let's talk a little more truth.

The Ministry of Pre-Born is doing more right now to help champion the cause of life than just about anybody else out there.

They're able to keep going because of people just like you who give, because saving children from abortion actually means something to you.

Today, the abortion pill accounts for over 60% of all abortions and it's available pretty much 24-7.

That's why pre-born is so important.

In addition to what they're doing with free ultrasounds, they're also administrating this protocol for women who have attempted abortion but want it reversed.

They have rescued over 300,000 babies from abortion and every day on average they rescue another 200.

When a woman is considering an abortion, she sees her baby on a screen and hears the the heartbeat, the chance at life is doubled.

If you have the means, would you help?

I mean, 28 bucks sponsors one ultrasound, but if you want a leadership gift, your tax-deductible donation of $5,000 will sponsor Pre-Born's entire network nationwide for 24 hours.

You'd be the one responsible for rescuing 200 babies.

To donate, dial pound250, say the keyword baby.

That's pound250, keyword baby, or donate securely at preborn.com slash back.

That's preborn.com slash Beck, sponsored by Preborn.

10 seconds, station ID.

Can we go back to Selena Gomez for a second?

By the way, author of an artist of fantastic songs.

She's great.

Wonderful.

She's great.

But this particular opinion is interesting because it's similar to like global warming, for example.

Like you get panicked.

I feel like these people just get panicked.

She's

legitimately emotional about this.

Wow.

And I think it's true.

I totally believe her.

She could be.

And

there's just no reason to be.

Right.

I feel empathy for her if she's actually feeling these things.

Yeah, sure.

She's going through pain she shouldn't have to.

But like, what's actually happened so far?

Let me give you a clip.

This is from ABC News.

This is their, this is the, when you get past all the headlines, this is what's actually occurred so far.

Listen, I think with all the immigration stuff that's happening right now, a lot of us don't know what's new and what's normal with everything that's happening.

Like, we heard there were a lot of immigration raids here in the U.S.

over the weekend.

And sure enough, we heard from the Department of Homeland Security that almost a thousand people were arrested in just one day this weekend.

But I guess I'm still wondering, is that more than usual?

Is it much, much more than usual?

Like, what are we even talking about here?

You know, you said it right off the top where we have seen massive deportations going back to the Obama years.

I mean, Obama's nickname within immigration activist circles was deporter-in-chief because he deported so many people.

So the idea that the Trump administration is, at least so far, deporting historic numbers, it's simply not true.

In fact, at this rate, and things might change, but at this rate, they'd be coming in well under some of the Obama years.

Oh, wait a minute.

Wait.

Hold it.

Now, I don't.

Now, Selena Gomez has been around for a while.

She was a child star.

I don't remember her having these sort of crying fits at the camera during the Obama administration.

No, and she's probably too young to remember the 10 million that Bill Clinton deported.

Right.

I mean, Clinton was even higher than Obama.

Right.

And that number is important.

10 million.

That's really important.

How did he do it?

Mainly through people self-deporting.

So what is Donald Trump doing right now?

He's sending a message, we're going after and we're deporting people who are here illegally, but we're starting with the really bad guys.

Now, if you're hanging out with the really bad guys, you're going home too.

He is sending the message to self-deport.

That's what he's doing exactly like Bill Clinton did.

And I don't even remember the Bill Clinton deportation stories.

I don't remember them at all.

There weren't the tears, Glenn.

No, there weren't the tears.

We had the, I think we played it yesterday, the Tom Homan clip, where he's talking and he's asked a question like, you know, are we going to be seeing this every single day?

Yes.

Yes.

No, but just the word really.

I know.

And then she asked him three times.

No, but seriously.

Seriously, every single day?

Yes.

Yes.

That's what we need more of.

And I think that's what's so satisfying about this first week is just there's a lot of people just answering.

Yes.

Yes.

That's what we're doing.

Yeah.

Mayors of Boston, Chicago, Denver, and New York have been called to testify in Congress over their Sanctuary City policies.

I think this is wonderful.

Now,

the more red a state gets,

the more the purple squishy Republicans start to squeal.

And you're starting to see that in Florida.

Ron DeSantis called for a special session of the legislature in Florida.

and he wanted to pass really tough and common sense immigration rules.

And mainly he wanted to get, make sure that all of the cities participate.

Well, the rhinos came out and the rhinos said, yeah, we'll do it, but our borders are is going to be our agricultural

expert.

Wait, wait.

The guy who's worried about who's picking fruit in the fields,

he might not be the best person,

might have, I don't know, conflicting interest.

But isn't that like rhinos and Democrats?

They care about who's picking the cotton.

This is Glenn Beck.

I firmly believe that when you go and do a thing, you should try to do it right the first time, every time, especially if that thing is going to bed and sleeping.

Quality of your bedding really, it matters.

This is where Cozy Earth brings something to the table that is just unbelievable.

Cozy Earth bedding, their pajamas, their bath products are designed specifically for you.

These are the things that you would find in very, very wealthy people's homes.

You'd find them in the very, very best, you know, five and six star hotels

where people just go, wow, I can see why this is a six-star hotel.

The luxury that you feel with these sheets is truly amazing.

The quality, the craftsmanship, it's the kind of quality that you find only in the top places.

All their bedding products come with a 10-year warranty, a hundred-night sleep trial.

You can send it back, but you're not going to.

They are so soft and they are so great, and they're affordable if you use my name Beck.

The first 100 days of the Trump administration have been breathtaking, a lot like the early days of Ron DeSantis in Florida.

And what he's doing in Florida is trying to get the state to do everything they can to make sure that Trump's policies are going through, especially on illegals.

There is a house with these unbelievable rhinos

that in a special session, they didn't want to come back because they said it's not an emergency.

What are you talking about?

Ron DeSantis called for a special session because he said the president was just put in office.

I want all of the tools on the table to help him solve this problem.

The rhinos said no, and then they started to

change everything that he wanted and then have the balls to name it the Trump Act.

Really?

The Trump Act?

And Ron DeSantis, Governor, is with us now to tell us a little bit about the Trump Act.

Welcome to the program, Governor.

How are you?

I'm doing good.

You know, a week ago today, we were preparing for a historic snowstorm, and our state record had been four inches.

We actually hit last week 10 inches of snow in northwest Florida and Milton.

You saw the beaches covered in snow, so it's kind of an interesting period for Florida.

Where's the global warming when you need it, right?

Okay, so tell me about, because what I've seen, which

just what's happening with Wilton Simpson is an abomination.

Tell me who you're fighting and and what you're fighting against and for.

Well, you hit it on the head.

They didn't want to do anything on illegal immigration.

And after the election, I said, this is our chance.

This is the number one issue the president ran on, and we need to get it right.

And so there's no way.

President Trump can fulfill his mandate if the state and local governments and law enforcement are not actively supporting his deportation efforts.

I mean, think about it.

He's come out of the gate strong, but they've done

about probably 700,000, 800 arrests on average a day.

Let's just say 1,000.

Well, extrapolate that out, 365,000 a year times 4,000.

Biden let in 10 million illegals on his own.

Now, I do think the Trump administration will ramp up.

I think they'll get better numbers as time goes on.

But if you just had every red state, say all police departments, all sheriff departments, all state agents, law enforcement agencies have to participate maximally in the programs that the Trump administration is offering for immigration enforcement, you would increase those numbers dramatically.

And that is what we have to do.

We've got to be ready to go.

We've got to work hand in glove.

Now, what you'll have in California and in Chicago, they're going to be trying to sabotage Trump's agenda.

They're going to be sanctuary jurisdictions.

Now, we don't allow that in Florida, but I think most states who are not sanctuary, they're just going to say, hey, it's the federal government's responsibility.

Yeah, we won't sabotage it, but we're not going to be in that fight.

I don't think that's adequate.

This is a historic moment for this country.

We've been talking about this issue for decades.

Yes, Trump is absolutely right by going after the cartels and designating them foreign terrorist organizations.

Obviously, we need to build the wall and fortify the border.

But you have this massive problem of interior enforcement.

And so that's what we're proposing, as well as other things that are important.

Legislature didn't want to do it.

I called the special session against their wishes.

They said it was premature, that it could wait.

But, you know, they got blowback from their constituents.

So they thought if they came in, gutted with the enforcement of doing what we need to do, and just name it the Trump Act, that somehow they would be able to get away with that.

Obama named Obamacare the Affordable Care Act.

Obviously, it wasn't affordable.

Biden named his spending boondoggle the Inflation Reduction Act.

Obviously, that didn't work out.

So they're playing this game where if they think if they put Trump's name on a weak bill, that somehow people think it's going to be good.

And it's totally inadequate.

But here's the thing, Glenn.

Before I became governor, Florida was very weak on illegal immigration.

And part of it was they thought because Hispanic population here, you had to be.

I proved that wrong because I was the strongest governor and I had a record Hispanic vote in 2022.

So that was wrong.

But then you do have this desire for cheap illegal alien labor in some of these industries.

And I think that's what these guys are trying to preserve.

I don't think they want to see immigration enforcement the way you would need to to fulfill President Trump's mandate.

So they made it sound like initially it was a difference of opinion on timing, but understand what they're proposing, it's a difference of values.

The values that we all ran on, that Donald Trump got elected on, that all your listeners subscribe to, those are reflected in the proposals that I did.

They are not reflected in what the Florida legislative leaders are doing.

And you mentioned the Commissioner of Agriculture.

They're actually taking away immigration enforcement authority from the governor and putting it in the Commissioner of Agriculture.

It's just like the Fox guarding the hen house.

They don't want to enforce it.

Are you kidding me?

They're even stripping some of the things I have now, like e-Verify.

They want to put that over there.

So it's a really, really bad product.

And here's the thing.

I think some of them are caught up in, oh, well, we don't want the governor to get the win.

You know, we're sick of him always doing all this stuff.

I don't need pride of ownership.

They can take 100% of the credit.

I I just want to get the job done.

And if we're not doing what needs to be done right now to get ready for this, then there'll be some successes, don't get me wrong, but we're not going to be able to actually deliver on the mandate that the voters gave us.

And here, just the final point I make.

Republicans all run.

For four years in Florida, they all ran on bashing Biden's border policies, saying we needed to get tough, supporting Donald Trump's agenda in 2024.

They all ran on that.

Not one Republican ran and said, you know what, we just need to give it all to the Commissioner of Agriculture.

You know, state and locals

shouldn't be required to help the federal government.

They wouldn't do any of that.

And now they're bragging about they're going to spend money on giving beds for illegals.

I don't want to house the illegals.

I want to deport the illegals.

It is remarkable to me.

I mean, first of all, Wilton Simpson, he wants to be governor.

When you're not governor, he's going to run in the next cycle.

He's compromised.

He is the guy who supported giving in-state tuition to illegal aliens.

He gave the cutout for E-Verify so agriculture didn't have to worry about it.

Refused to provide law enforcement resources during the original border crisis.

This guy is

not a helper when it comes to doing the things that Americans have just said they want to be done.

Who is

also?

I mean, I'm just looking up.

You've got the Senate President, Ben Albritton, House Speaker Daniel Perez.

They seem to be in the same boat as Wilton Simpson.

Who needs the pressure?

Well, look, I think that just all of the legislators, you know, they just need to hear from their constituents.

And they're getting upset saying that somehow, like, they're getting threatened because some of their constituents are telling them that this is not right.

But they need to be held accountable for their actions.

And if what they did, if what they're doing is is consistent with what they told the voters they were doing, they're not going to have any problem, right?

But I'll tell you, Glenn, I've been doing this now for six years.

I've never seen our base react more negatively on an issue than what the legislature is trying to pull right now.

It is like 99 to 1

in terms of opposition.

So I think sunlight's the best disinfectant.

People just have to make their voice heard.

But we shouldn't let this slip through our fingertips.

I think some of it is some inside baseball up there.

Wilton Simpson was the Senate president.

A lot of the tough immigration policies we did two years ago, I wasn't able to get through when he was Senate president because he did block it.

And he did support things like driver's licenses for illegals when he was in the Florida Senate.

But he really exercises a lot of influence over the Florida Senate.

So the fact that he was put into that bill, I don't think that that was an accident.

I think that that was definitely something that they were trying to do.

And does it even pass the laugh test?

No.

That no state has been more active in fighting illegal immigration over the last, over Biden's term, than me, than Florida.

And me, we've had people at the border.

We did Martha's Vineyard and other transport.

We enacted a mandatory E-Verify.

We've done all these things.

And then you want to take all that away and give it to the Ag Commissioner and create some new crazy bureaucracy.

They don't have the infrastructure for in the first place.

It would all have to be rebuilt in the Ag Department.

Am I right about that or wrong?

Exactly.

And the way the bill is written, you know, we think it's unconstitutional because it actually takes away some of the core executive power that is vested in the governor's office under Florida's Constitution.

So it's constitutionally suspect.

It's also, as a policy matter, it is not going to work.

And here's the thing.

If their proposals were consistent with what they campaigned on and would actually work

and they had competing, hey if it works it works their proposals will not work I mean think about even this issue it needs to be a crime for illegals to register to vote we've been trying to do this for years that was in my proposals they're not including that so illegals can register in Florida under their proposal

and they're not requiring them to sign an affidavit that they're U.S.

citizen which our Constitution requires and there's no penalty.

Well, guess what, Glenn?

If you let them register, by the time they vote, even if you prosecute them after the fact, the vote counts.

The time to stop it is when they try to register in the first place, and yet they're not doing anything about that.

We have in our proposals a rebuttable presumption that illegals that get brought up on criminal charges are detained and then turned over to ICE.

They watered that down so that judges are just going to release these guys back on the street.

So it's a lack of seriousness about what it really takes to get this issue right.

And I can tell you this, when they proposed their so-called Trump Act, misnamed Trump Act, Democrats in the Florida Senate were high-fiving them.

Liberal media in Florida have been singing their praises.

The ACLU of Florida tweeted, thank you for what you're doing.

I can tell you this, Glem, when we banned sanctuary cities, Democrats were not high-fiving anyone.

When we eliminated DEI a couple years ago, no Democrats were high-fiving anyone.

When we eliminated the the woke, when we did the stop the gender insanity, when we did all those things that Florida became famous for, no Democrats were high-fiving.

No media was singing our praises.

The ACLU was not in our corner.

So if this is really a tough immigration proposal, then why are these people on the left embracing it?

I have to tell you, Ron, this is the one thing that has stopped me from moving to Florida.

I promised my wife that someday we'd live on the water.

And so the only only option for me really is Florida because it's a free state and it's a great state and you're the governor.

But I worry about you when you leave.

What are these stupid Republicans going to do?

And honestly, I just,

if we don't get all of these weasels out and get the people in that actually believe in what we're trying to do, the state's going to go back to the same wishy-washy garbage that makes it a garbage state as it always has.

You guys have led the way, and it's the reason why you're leading the United States right now, because you're doing what the people are asking for.

These guys who don't get it, man, they should be on notice.

I, like you, have never seen the Republican voters as awake as they are right now.

They know what they want.

They see what's happening in Washington.

They see what's happening in Florida.

And if you are a voter in Florida, you need to get on the phone because your state's going to go to trash the minute this guy leaves.

If you don't have people that understand what and

believe and will execute what you want to happen, you need to get on the phone right now and call your Florida representative.

By the way, we have Sheriff Wayne Ivey on with us, Governor, in just a few minutes.

I think he's going to be kind of telling the story about what you're actually looking for, isn't he?

Yeah, look, I mean, people like Wayne, they want to solve the problem, and so they want to participate in these federal programs.

Not everyone wants to do that, which is why we have to make it an expectation that all police departments and sheriff's departments want to do it.

But just think about it.

Yes, we focus on criminal aliens, and that's important.

But I want to get these guys before they commit crimes.

I want to make sure our schools aren't overrun with illegals.

I want to make sure our health care system isn't overrun.

I want to make sure that illegals aren't getting into accidents and they don't have insurance and then you're out of luck.

So there's so many ways that this problem impacts our society and unless we get it right on enforcement right now under Donald Trump's leadership, we're never going to solve this problem.

And the quality of life is going to increase dramatically.

And look, you talked about Florida, you know, what's going to happen in the future.

I can tell you this.

I came in.

I was bold.

They told me that was a mistake because it was a 50-50 state, but we were bold.

We delivered results.

There was a sharp contrast between us and the left, and we've had more political success in Florida than Republicans have ever had.

When you water down, when you do the corporatism, where you're not standing for working people, but you're worried about things like cheap labor, when you do that, you will lose political support.

That's the lifeline.

I think the reason the Democrats were high-fiving is because they see that the leaders in the legislature, they're giving them a lifeline to regain relevance in Florida.

They're giving them a pathway where they can return to power in the future.

We have beat the left.

We weren't trying to high-five them.

We've beat them on issue after issue.

That's why they've been rendered irrelevant.

And the formula is very clear.

And even look at the national election.

Donald Trump was bold, and he was rewarded.

I've got to run, but it's so great to talk to you.

Keep up the good fight.

Governor Ron DeSantis, let me tell you about relief factor sleep.

There's a great new movie out right now.

Angel Studios is the studio behind Sound of Freedom.

This movie is called Brave the Dark, and it is an inspiring true story about a troubled teen struggling to survive in a world that let him down.

Haunted by torturous childhood memories, Nate Williams is a guy.

He finds himself engulfed in darkness.

When his drama teacher, Mr.

Dean, bails him out of jail and takes him in, Nate has to confront his past before it leads to his own destruction.

This is Face the Darkness?

No, it's called Brave the Dark.

Brave the Dark.

Yeah, okay.

Brave the Dark.

I saw this this weekend.

Oh, yeah.

You leave feeling good.

It's a true story.

It's fantastic.

All right, it's called Brave the Dark.

And

it's also focusing on Angel Studios, Glenn.

It's like they are building a massive part of the parallel economy, like that is really needed, taking on Hollywood and doing things that are positive, but actually giving you good movies.

It's not a good idea.

This is a major studio film.

Films exactly like a major studio film.

Yeah, really good.

And I think it is.

I think it is.

Brave the Dark.

It's in theaters now.

You can go check it out.

It's a new movie from Angel Studios.

I saw it this weekend in the movie theater and it is so well worth your time.

It is so...

It's a true story and an unbelievable true story that you've never heard.

And I mean, I was talking to somebody about empathy just the other day, you know, and I said, you've got to go see this.

You have to go see this movie because it's the way we all should be, but so few really are and will do the things that this character does.

It's fantastic.

Brave the dark, see it.

There is a lot going on again today.

President Trump has just frozen all federal grants and loans as effective as

This is

the Glenbeck Program.

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

I think it's pretty obvious.

There's a new sheriff in town.

And there's an old sheriff in town as well in Brevard County that's getting the job done on illegal immigration.

We just talked to Governor Ron DeSantis.

If you missed that, grab it in the podcast today.

What's happening with the Republicans is just absolutely shameful in Florida.

You should be, if you're in Florida, you should be on the phone or writing a very polite but clear letter to all of these rhinos.

And you have one chance.

If we can get these things done now, we change America.

If you can't get them done now, you're never going to get them done.

Send a message to the Florida legislature if you live in Florida.

Sheriff Wayne Ivey from Bavard County in Florida joins me about immigration and what's really happening and what needs to happen in 60 seconds.

First, simply say, So a long time ago, I used to get a lot of burglars coming around.

Seemed, you know, like not a day would go by.

folks Crime will rise to the level a community will tolerate.

And in Brevard County, we have zero tolerance for crime.

I hear people whine sometimes that we shouldn't blast those we arrest out on social media.

And to them, I have a simple solution.

If you don't want to be blasted out on our Facebook page for doing dumb stuff, then don't do dumb stuff.

And especially don't do dumb stuff here in Brevard County.

Over the course of the past 12 years, our crime rate has dropped almost 53%

because we are tough on crime and even tougher on criminals.

It's dropped almost 53% because we have created a partnership with our citizens so that they see something, they say something.

And it's dropped because we tell our deputies to put bad people in jail and we never apologize for doing it.

This is a great sheriff, Sheriff Wayne Ivey from Bavard County, Florida.

Hello, Sheriff.

How are you?

I'm doing great, Glenn.

Thanks for having me.

And more importantly, thanks for being the conservative voice for us out here, man.

We greatly appreciate you.

Thank you.

So I just had the governor on, and the legislature in Florida, these guys who all want to run for governor next time,

are coming out.

They're trying to move

the immigration czar into

the agricultural department.

And the guy who's running agriculture right now is not exactly a conservative.

What has to be done to be able to get immigration under control in a state like Florida?

So, you know, Florida is the free state of Florida, as Governor DeSantis calls it, and we know that working in that direction, you know, the first thing to get immigration under control, period, is we've got to unhandcuff the local and state authorities, let them work with the feds.

That's step number one.

Unfortunately, the biggest problem is the feds are going to have to completely reboot the system.

And so, you know, get it back up and running and get us involved.

And I know everybody's wanting to see that.

But at the end of the day, we've got to be able to take the illegal immigrants that have come into

our country, the criminals criminals that are not stopping at the border.

They're filtering into every community in our country and be able to get them out and restabilize our foundation of law and order.

So what do you say to those police and sheriff departments that are

in more liberal areas that are saying

we're not going to help.

We're not going to

work with ICE.

So I say get out of the way and let us do it.

We'll do it for you.

We'll work with our federal partners to get that done.

And Florida leads the nation in public safety.

We always have our crime rates lower than it's ever been in the last 44, 45 years.

And

I think to those that

are not doing what they need to do, working with the feds, whether that's in the 287G or whatever it is, what we have to do is to get them to understand you're putting your everyday citizens at risk every time you don't take action.

So get out of the way.

If you don't want to do it, we'll do it.

You know, I have somebody who used to live in Brevard County and just adores you as a sheriff.

And she was telling me yesterday when she found out that you were going to be on, she said, oh my gosh, he does the wheel of fugitive.

I had never heard of this.

Can you explain that?

Sure,

it's just like a wheel of fortune, except it's really wheel of misfortune.

It's 10 fugitives that are up on the wheel.

You know, we have a great relationship with our community.

They're our partners.

And

every week we get up, we put 10 fugitives' pictures up on the wheel, and we spin it.

And whoever it lands on, we ask our community to help us find them.

It's got an 88% success rate.

where in the first three to five days, those that are on the wheel either turn themselves in or are captured because of the work.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

And it's interesting that they turn themselves in.

Some of them turn themselves in.

Isn't that kind of what Trump is trying to do by going after the really bad guys this time?

He's sending a message to everybody else, leave, leave.

Yeah, you said it at the very beginning of your opening dialogue.

You said there's a new sheriff in town.

There's a new sheriff in Washington, D.C., and he's giving you an opportunity to get out of the country.

Because if not,

our partners are going to take you out of the country.

We are going to restabilize and get back to where we always should have been.

And that's what he's doing.

He is saying, go on your own, get out of the country.

He's telling these other countries, take them back, don't try to interfere in it, and everything will be fine.

But if not,

the door is going to get kicked in.

You're going to get dragged out in handcuffs and you're going to be deported out of this country.

Sheriff, thank you so much for everything you're doing in Florida.

I really appreciate it.

Wayne Ivey, he is the sheriff of Brevard County, Florida.

I urge you to back sheriffs in your own area that take after Wayne

or are as serious about the law as Wayne is and enforcing the law.

And if you live in Florida, please call your Florida legislature or you're going to get the shaft.

The Republicans, the

just the weasel rhinos are at it again, like they are here in Texas.

And believe me, rhinos of Texas, you're done.

You are done next time you run.

We now have a very long memory and anyone who is standing in the way of getting things done finally, we have a politician and in Florida, you have a few that actually mean what they say when they run

and they're changing everything.

Your day of being a rhino is over.

It's over.

Sheriff, thank you so much.

God bless you.

Let me talk.

You bet.

Let me just talk talk to you about

the truth of what's really going on.

You know, there was a Babylon B

that said Democrats against concern about who will pick their crops.

With heated debate taking place across the country over President Donald Trump's initiative to carry out mass deportations of illegal aliens, Democrats have found themselves once again concerned about who will be picking their crops, just as they did in the 1860s.

Democrats voiced opposition to any policy changes that would cause them to lose an overwhelming

percentage of their staff

and to keep them around to pick the produce in their fields.

That's true.

That's not a joke.

That's true.

I mean, parody now is so absolutely dead on with the truth.

That's how far the Democrats have gone.

And I mean,

let me just play a couple of things.

Here are the Democratic elites.

See if you can see what Nancy Pelosi was really upset about with illegals.

Go ahead.

We have a shortage of workers in our country, and you see even in Florida, some of the farmers and the growers saying, Why are you shipping these

immigrants up north?

We need them to pick the crops down here.

Okay, here's Jerry Nadler in 2024.

And we need immigrants in this country.

Forget the fact that

our vegetables would rot in the ground if

they weren't being picked by many immigrants, many illegal immigrants.

Now, let's go to the high priestess that lectured Trump the day after the inauguration on illegals.

That's what she says.

The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals, they

may not be citizens

or have the proper documentation.

But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.

Okay, so let's just review here.

The people who are out in the fields picking crops, the dishwasher, the office cleaner.

I mean, if I have to hear this from the left one more time, oh, you know, we're the kind ones here.

I mean, Donald Trump have mercy on all of our workers.

I mean, our neighbors.

Well, not our neighbors.

We wouldn't want any of those people anywhere near us with a lawnmower or a cleaning rag.

But those people that work in our homes when we're not there.

They have literally, they are fighting for an indentured servant class, and they're calling this merciful.

These people have jobs because they will work at wages that are illegal.

Instead of going after the the big ag, the big corporations that are trying to hire people for illegal wages, you have these compassionate people saying, no, no, we need these indentured servants.

This is as far away from the American dream as you can possibly get.

The dream is not to own a house and a car.

It's the freedom to choose your own path, not the one the government has in store for you.

We don't have a class system in America, or do we?

If you were born at the bottom, you can climb that ladder all the way to the top.

Look at the vice president.

I mean, he's a hillbilly,

and yet he's now the vice president.

But that's not the system the Democrats and the elites have in mind for illegal immigrants.

We saw it with DACA.

Obama gave the DREAMers the ability to stay and work in America.

But every two years, they have to hope and pray that their benevolent overlords will renew their application.

They're fully dependent on the will of the elites.

Same with the millions of illegal immigrants.

They crossed the border under Biden with a hope, with a hope.

The government boarded them onto planes, flew them across the country, dropped them off in towns that quickly got overloaded.

They found work wherever they could, often at the jobs that are less appealing to Americans for a reason.

And they're underpaid illegally, and they were told at any moment the government could swoop in and take them away.

What kind of life are you promising these people?

Not to mention, many of them got here with the help of the cartels, and those cartels will hunt them down and kill them if they're not paid back in either favors, employment,

or cash.

And then Biden's open borders let in thousands of violent gang members.

And since these Democratic sanctuary cities didn't prosecute crimes, these gangs could take over whole communities.

So now illegal immigrants have to fear the government and the cartels and the violent thugs that can do whatever they want.

But hey, hey, maybe they might someday, maybe.

If Democrats are in charge, maybe gain citizenship one day or at least a reprieve for a couple of years, but you'll have to vote for them to make sure that you can get that citizenship.

citizenship maybe someday.

In the meantime, you're in the shadows.

You're working for people who don't mind slave labor.

That's not merciful.

That's a nightmare.

Trump is the merciful one.

He's starting by deporting all violent criminals.

He started by telling the cartels enough is enough.

Now, I'm not sure why anyone who,

looks at the cartels thinks that that's mercy.

You're not crossing the border without the cartel.

So how again are you the merciful one putting them into the hands of the cartels?

But Democrats have made their real goal very, very clear.

Cheap labor.

That's fully dependent on them, no matter what the human cost.

300,000 children were lost

by the Biden administration.

What is the human cost of that?

Now that's not the America I know.

Stopping this misery,

that's not something worth crying about.

That's something worth celebrating.

I don't know.

We had to tell the Democrats the last time, hey, no slavery.

I guess they still haven't learned that lesson.

So Jane wrote in, she's 71.

She had pain in her knees and her right arm for years.

She was constantly dragging, being dragged down.

Nothing she tried to help.

She started to think she was going to have to deal with pain for the rest of her life.

That's when she heard me talking about Relief Factor, and she decided, what have I got to lose?

Let's boob on the radio.

I mean,

good news is the pain went away within a couple of weeks, and Jane got her life back.

Try it, will you?

Well, hello, Stu.

Hello, Glenn.

I know you're upset because

RFK is not in as much trouble for saying Glenn Beck should be executed.

Or is it

the opposite?

It's honestly the best part of his platform.

Is it really?

Yes, I don't think he's still, he doesn't claim to maintain that position, but that's the part I really agree with him on.

Your, of course, eventual capture and punishment.

Right.

So the New York Post has come out and said we cannot confirm this guy.

Yeah, the New York Post, Wall Street Journal are both out today saying

those similar things.

And it's interesting because I think

it's not necessarily the same thing as saying what he hasn't connected with conservative voters or

what he has to say.

It might be valuable in many ways.

He's getting a heck of a reward for the work he did, though.

Remember,

this is as clear as a transactional political relationship as we've ever seen.

I mean, both of them were saying horrible things about the other a month or two before

the endorsement.

I mean,

the post one in particular goes through all the things that Trump was saying about RFK Jr.

saying he'd rather have Biden.

He'd rather have Biden because at least if he had Biden, the country would last a couple more months before it collapsed.

That was his opinion of RFK Jr.

Now, he's not putting him in a position to run

the West Wing, right?

So it's a little bit different.

But it's hard to understate.

or hard to overstate, excuse me, how important the HHS job is.

It's a massive job.

It's a multi-billion

you know, it's the second,

the big, it's bigger than the Department of Defense budget he'd be overseeing.

This has tentacles in every single part of your life.

I know.

It's not just like if you like his vaccine stance or you like his stance on fruit loops or whatever, whatever is drawing you in particular.

That's his kick.

Yeah, I know, I know.

And by the way, Canadian fruit loops do not have three ingredients.

That is not true.

But even if it were true, it could be something that I think could be handled a little bit differently.

Giving him this

control of this budget and this

apparatus, I think

overstates the importance of his role when it comes to Trump getting elected.

I mean, do you think Trump would have lost without RFK Jr.'s endorsement?

No, but I think it helped.

I think it helped.

Yeah, I think it was part of

smart by Trump to embrace him for that.

And I think there is an honest movement from liberals, conservatives, independents, everybody,

that says, you know, know, something's wrong.

Something's wrong with our health.

Something's wrong with our food.

I agree with that.

Now,

I think there is a movement.

I don't agree necessarily with all of the points made by that movement, but I think that there is a movement there, and I think it's real.

And I think it's highly represented among Trump's voters generally.

Not universal, but I think

it's represented there.

And as you point out, it's also represented a lot on the left, right?

Like, but

that would be like one one-thousandth of this guy's job as HHS secretary.

It is, it he is so his tentacles in everything

when it comes to this role.

And it's like, to me, he would be much better served in a role like Elon Musk is in, a doge-type role.

Put him in a control of some sort of committee to go find these problems, present them to someone that Trump trusts wholly, not just in this one small area, and then see what happens.

Welcome to the Glem Deck program.

We're talking about RFK.

His nomination process begins tomorrow.

And there's a lot of miss and disinformation

about RFK.

A lot of stuff that's being said about him is absolutely true.

However, has he changed his view on anything?

You know, will he give guarantees to Congress that he's going to be pro-life?

That's a big one.

If you don't get James Lankford, you're not going to get the nomination.

I think that one is imperative.

And so far, Lankford hasn't said one way or another, I don't think.

um and uh there's also things like there's 15 000 doctors that have signed a

a

demand that rfk he's not a doctor he can't be a doctor

you you know you don't have to put anything in except your name to sign that you just go online and you're like i'm i'm dr full of crap and put an address in and boom, your name, Dr.

Full of Crap, is on that list.

So

really?

Is that true?

It's true.

Dr.

Full of Crap?

Yeah, try it.

Yeah.

Try it.

He's a good doc.

Anyway, Callie Means is with us.

He is the co-founder of TrueMed, the author of Good Energy, and he says it is imperative that Robert F.

Kennedy Jr.

is to be confirmed.

Welcome, Callie.

How are you?

I'm doing great, Glenn.

So you are well aware of some of the games that are being played.

Mike Pence is playing part of that game.

Is he not?

He is.

And I think it goes right to what you're saying about Senator Lankford, who I've worked with, who I know is dedicated to this issue.

And let's be very clear, the life

plank is a vital part, a crucial part of the Republican platform.

But let me explain to you how this game is played.

CNN, of all places, recently reported that the pharmaceutical industry is the chief funder of Mike Pence's group.

And the pharmaceutical industry is funding money to that group for Mike Pence to, in my opinion, bastardize the life issue and run ads and reach out to senators like Senator Lankford to say that Bobby is going to be an attack on life.

Let me be clear about one thing, Glenn, and I know you saw this.

I don't think there's been a more pro-life movement than what happened between Donald Trump and Bobby Kennedy in recent memory.

I mean,

the heart of what they talked about is a spiritual issue of what the heck is happening to our kids, where we're the sickest country in the developed world, where 38% of teens have pre-diabetes, where 50% of teens are overweight or obese, where we have a mental health crisis among children, where we're living seven years less than the Italians right now because of our broken health care incentives, where we're stunting and through our incentives,

not enabling our children to thrive.

And just to be super direct,

you know, watching this process with Bobby and President Trump, Bobby fully understands the centrality of the LIFE platform to the Republican coalition that have given him and President Trump an opportunity to serve

and is going to be fully executing the Trump administration's directives at that.

And I know staying very close to many of the pro-life leaders in the Senate who have already endorsed him.

So very cynical move by Mike Pence here.

So you do believe he will make a clear statement that he won't thwart the Trump administration on life?

Oh, I mean, I'll let him speak for himself tomorrow, and I know he'll do that very well.

But I can tell you that Bobby Kennedy believes that this is a fight for life and deeply respects

the centrality of the pro-life coalition and the Republican coalition that have put him in power.

And

I think has already had very productive conversations with pro-life leaders who have come out and endorsed him, and I know he's going to be very close to them.

And he's not in there to

subvert any promises made by the Trump administration on that.

He is there to fight for the lives of our children.

So let me ask you, Kelly, because

I agree with you that there is something wrong with

our health care system, maybe our food, everything.

There's something really wrong.

And I think it comes from GMOs and pharmaceutical companies that

we're treating symptoms.

We don't seem to be really going after the problem in many ways, especially with pharmaceuticals.

And I don't know what the answer is.

I know that

we have some vaccines that have been good, polio, smallpox.

I had it

when I was a kid, but now we're getting 80 different shots at birth.

And

there's something wrong with the way our kids are growing up and everything else.

And I don't know what that is.

But I like Bobby coming in because he is

going to at least expose the things that need to be exposed but I I don't want somebody who's in there saying no no no smallpox vaccine you know no no polio vaccines

Glenn I think I think this is really the the the the next key point to make because you know he's getting I think very cynical pharma funded attacks on the pro-life issue and then you get to this vaccine issue you get to this really idea that Bobby's going to come in and and come in with strong opinions and start banning and regulating things.

And I want to make something really clear.

And this should be clear from what Bobby and President Trump have said during the campaign, is Bobby is not a scientist, and he is not coming in there with a list of medical opinions or even food opinions.

President Trump and Bobby have been very clear that the directive is to figure out what the heck is going on.

Phase one of Maha is getting to the truth.

It's getting Jay Bhattacharya and the NIH.

And right now, Glenn, 85% of NIH spending is pharmaceutical R ⁇ D.

So what does that mean?

It means they're not asking why we're getting sick, which you would expect expect the NIH to do.

They're actually a fully owned subsidiary of the pharmaceutical industry that's profiting from the fact that we're getting sick.

They're not asking why we're getting diabetes, why autism rates are going up, why heart disease rates are going up, why cancer rates are going up.

They're working on ineffective cancer jabs.

They're working on ineffective band-aids for Alzheimer's when Alzheimer's is actually preventable.

So I think you're exactly right.

We don't fully know what's going on.

And I actually, and you know, this is my opinion.

I think President Trump is going to win the Nobel Prize when Bobby Kennedy and Jay Bhattashar are done with the HHS and the NIH.

Because, you know, if there's one accomplishment that can be made in the next two years, it's let's get back to science.

Let's give the American people and policymakers accurate information that we're not getting.

Because going,

you know, I don't think Europe has very good health policy, but they're living 10 years more than us, right?

I think it's because the strong arm of mandates isn't as pronounced there, that there's more informed consent, that people are able to make better decisions.

I mean, Maja is about, and what Bobby King's talked about, is just getting back to science.

And the last thing I'll say, Glenn, just being in some of these discussions, there's zero ideology.

The directive from President Trump isn't to get to a specific outcome or solution on a food or pharmaceuticals or vaccines or whatever.

It is to get money to the best scientists in the world so we can figure out what's going on.

So I think that's a very important point.

So he's got a lot of opposition tomorrow.

How are you going to get Mitch McConnell and Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, you know, Corey Booker on board?

I think we've been dragged into darkness inevitably now that power is close at hand, you know, with pharma funding pro-life groups ostensibly, with

so many interests at play and so much money at flaming.

Let's not forget healthcare is the largest and fastest growing and most employed industry in the country.

There's a lot at stake here.

And you know, our message,

my message going into this week is there was a spiritual strain hit during the campaign with Bobby Kennedy and President Trump.

I mean, they talked about unimpeachable issues of, you know, figuring out why our kids are getting sick, getting absolute rank corruption out of our medical authorities that we saw during COVID.

I mean,

why is 75% of the FDA's drug approval department funded by pharma?

You know, why are NIH folks during COVID employees able to take hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties?

You know, why is the CDC able to have a nonprofit that accepts hundreds of millions of dollars from pharma to buy off the

agency?

These are very simple things and even larger than that, Clint.

I mean, I think what Bobby Kennedy and President Trump actually represented with Kennedy walking out on that stage with the sparklers with President Trump is that this administration is not about left versus right.

This is not about debating page 300 of the Medicare Part D law.

This is about taking on corruption.

This is about unimpeachable issues.

This is about true, on this issue, bipartisan reform.

So I think I know you saw that, Glenn.

We've talked throughout the campaign, and then I know my sister has with you.

There was something spiritual.

So I think what we need to do this week is just remind people of the stakes, is remind people of the fact that

kids, right, are the sickest, American kids are the sickest kids in the world right now

and I would just urge Mitch McConnell or anyone on the fence it can't be worse than what's happening now our public health authorities have totally failed us Bobby Kennedy and President Trump tapped into this unimpeachable spiritual issues of figuring out why our kids are getting sick we we need to give them a chance and and I'd say Glenn this is the will of the voters there is no nominee that President Trump talked about more than Bobby Kennedy.

You know, we didn't know who the Treasury Secretary was going to to be, the Secretary of Defense, most other departments.

He was very clear during the campaign in every single speech that he was going to turn over help to Bobby.

This is a true campaign mandate.

And

it will be a disaster if senators overrule that clear mandate from voters.

Kelly, I appreciate you coming on and making a good case for Bobby Kennedy.

I will tell you,

I am all in on exposing bad things, finding out, because I am convinced, I mean, well, COVID,

there are bad things that are happening with our government and pharmaceutical companies.

Not all things that pharmaceutical companies do are bad, but there are a lot of bad things.

And our government is being wagged by food and pharmaceuticals right now.

And I just want the answers.

I don't want somebody to come and dictate those answers.

I want to see the evidence of what's really happening.

I think

this is the mandate that was given to Donald Trump, and that is expose it all.

Expose it all on every front.

If there's a problem, expose it.

And then we can deal with it as a people.

But I don't want somebody coming in and your assurance that that's not who Bobby Kennedy is going to be

is reassuring.

I hope you're right on that.

Kelly.

I want to underline it one more time for all the conservatives listening.

And I know Bobby made the case well during the campaign.

There is not a list of regulation or bans.

It is about getting to the truth.

Americans can make an informed decision.

Americans are not trying to be sick or poison their kids.

The problem is we don't have the truth, we don't have the information.

That is step one of Maha.

And Bobby and Kennedy and President Trump, as we know, are committed to a deregulation agenda, a freedom agenda, but that requires informed consent to the truth.

Kelly, I think that if the Maha agenda, if it is about exposure and freedom,

then if that agenda is not part of this, I think that's a big part of

the mandate that will be lost because I think this is a spiritual, this is a physical,

it's a metaphysical thing that we're dealing with right now.

We have to deal with all of it or we can't cure any of it, quite honestly, I believe.

Callie, thank you very much.

Thank you.

Callie Means, TrueMed, co-founder, co-author of Good Energy.

Back in just a second, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Yesterday was January 27th, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and it has been 80 years since the end of the Nazis' organized effort to wipe out the Jews off the face of the earth.

Now there are people that are taking their turn, you know, stepping right up in history.

People are oppressing the Jews.

I mean, what's happening around the country is just...

awful.

As Christians, we need to recognize our brotherhood with the Jews and help them in their time of need.

And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is doing their part.

I'm not going to fight anybody's war, but I am going to support their right to defend themselves.

And I'm going to do everything I can as a person.

I'm not asking the country to do anything.

I'm saying this is something I believe in.

And if you believe in it, will you help with food, shelter, and safety for Jews in Israel and all around the world?

The remaining Holocaust survivors, they are getting help still from Christians today, helping provide food, water, medicine, and other basic necessities to Jewish communities.

There's a lot of darkness in the world for Jewish people.

Be a part of the light shining out from the Christian world to our brothers and sisters.

Give the gift to show your support of the Jewish people by visiting supportifcj.org.

That's one word, supportifcj.org or call 888-488-IFCJ.

Glenn Beck.

Well, the heat is on.

Yes, the heat around Valentine's Day, the knowledge that you have to get it right.

Valentine's Day pressure is serious on guys, of course.

And, you know, she's going to say at some point, like, hey, don't worry about it.

You don't have to give me anything for Valentine's Day.

What that does not mean is don't get her something because

you can stay out of the doghouse if you get her something and you get her something she really, really loves.

So don't do that.

Go to Books now.

Books.com.

So

there's the show that you hear.

Then there's the show that Blaze people hear.

And then there's the show that only I hear.

And that's when I get off the air and Stu goes into a rant.

I don't know if that's, we don't need to talk about this.

Well, I think we should.

I mean, look,

I love Callie.

He's great.

His sister is great.

He does too.

But Stu has a slightly different opinion on RFK.

Yes, I would say.

I mean,

again, all respect to Callie.

He's a good dude, and I think he's fighting for the right things.

RFK Jr., some of his views I really do agree with.

Some of them I do.

I don't think you could say that he's not ideological.

I don't think that you can say fairly that he is

coming into this role looking for the truth.

The guy has been telling us he knows the truth for 40 years.

Now, I don't agree with all of his truth.

Some of it I do agree with.

But wouldn't you say that if I were in charge, not of this, but I would go in and I would say to you, I mean, I've been for 35 years telling you what the truth is.

Right.

And if I went in and said, I'm looking for the truth, do you not believe that I would actually be open to a different truth than I believe?

I think you would.

I don't think that he would.

I mean, this man has, you know, look, this is what he's, this has been his shtick for a very, very long time.

And some of it is great.

Some of it is not.

I will say

I just don't understand.

Like, you know, he brings up, you know, we talk about RFK Jr.

and Jay Bhattacharya.

Well, then give Jay Bhattacharia the gig.

And he's got another important thing.

But I mean, if you could find another person,

Marty Makari's got another gig as well, but you could find someone like that, I think, who has none of the concerns of RFK for conservatives.

And

he could do all the same things.

I think that

I'm doing my best.

Yeah, I know.

I think the thing that I like about RFK, though, is

he doesn't trust the system.

And he knows the system pretty well.

Yeah.

And I mean, the government system.

And I really like it.

It's interesting that he doesn't.

Because he's spent his entire life the exact opposite of that, saying that the government should have all sorts of tyrannical powers.

And he has said to me.

Yes, he's what he said to you.

And he has that is there's his 50, his 70-year life and what he said to you when he really needed votes.

That's true.

That's true.

That is what he said.

I got no input in this at all.

But I just feel like you can find someone who has the same a lot of people on the conservative side are skeptical of government

power.

RFK Jr.

has not shown that throughout his life all that consistently.

But he did do an interview with me once.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Oh, did he threaten your life in that one?

No, that was a different one.

That's right.

This is

the Glen Beck program.

Oh my gosh.

It's a good thing that...

And I think Stu will agree with me.

It's a good thing that New York magazine exists.

Otherwise, we just wouldn't realize how racist we all are.

They covered a story called The Cruel Kids Table.

It was about a Trump inauguration party.

And there was like no black people there.

And, you know, we got to the bottom of it.

We have the guy who actually was responsible for that racist party, C.J.

Pearson,

who strangely is

black himself.

But we can leave that out of the story.

We're going to talk to CJ in just a second.

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

Now that you're not going to have to be looking over your shoulder, wondering if and when the government's going to jump out and attack you, maybe you have your mind,

you know, and the idea of buying and selling a house is, you know, maybe.

As the market begins to recover from its long national nightmare, now may be the time to, you know, pull the trigger on something like that.

But if you do, the one thing you're going to need above everything else is a real estate agent that you can rely on, a real estate agent that knows the areas that you're selling or buying in, somebody who is really dependable, hardworking, someone who knows the best practices, is

knowledgeable,

is ethical would be also another good thing.

Someone you can actually trust.

Well, that's why I built RealEstateAgents I Trust.com.

It's a business built around the idea of trust.

We've helped this audience for over a decade now, billions of dollars in sales.

We will pair you up with the agent that you need, whether you're just moving across town or all the way across the country.

We'll help you find the real estate agent that's right for you.

Realestateagents I trust.com.

Realestateagents I trust.com.

Waiting for C.J.

Pearson to get on.

Just a minute.

I got to talk about this racist, unbelievable, racist party

that was held in Washington, D.C.

Did you see the picture from

New York?

Saw the controversy online

and hadn't seen the full picture.

It's unbelievable.

It is literally unbelievable.

You see a picture of this all-white crowd at a party, at a ball or whatever, around the inauguration.

And the headline is, what, the Cruel Kids Club or something like that?

Cruel Kids Table.

Cruel Kids Table.

And it's basically like, hey, now a bunch of these young white racists are going to get control of the government.

And

they're up and it's kind of like an, hey, beware Nazi youth.

On the way.

That's basically the concept of the puthies.

In the piece,

she describes a woman coming up to her and saying, have you noticed this room is all white?

And then then she says, well, I couldn't really tell if she thought that was a good thing or a bad thing.

Anyway,

cropped right out of the picture.

I mean, like the exact picture they had.

It was line.

Yes.

Cropped out

three black people.

Just

right outside.

They literally had a picture that included black people.

They cropped them out and then said it was an all-white room.

And also left C.J.

Pearson, the guy who was responsible for the party, who happens to be black,

left him out of this, C.J.

Pearson.

Welcome.

Thanks so much, Robbie, Glenn.

Yeah.

Why do you hate black people so much?

Well, you know,

I knew that America was getting woke under Biden, but I didn't know that even the KKK had DEI program, because apparently I can now be a white supremacist.

Well, are you a Klan member or are you also a Nazi, CJ?

That's the real question.

I don't know.

I'm trying to figure it out.

I'm trying to figure it out.

My application is still pending.

We're working through some things, but I'll let you know.

So

how did this come about?

How did this happen?

Yeah, well, I'll tell you, you know, during the campaign cycle, you know, I serve as the chair of the RNC Youth Advisory Council.

And so a lot of my work focused on getting influencers to support President Trump vocally and to draw their audiences to go out and vote, to volunteer for the campaign, and so much more.

And so for this event, you know, we called it the Power 30 Awards.

We wanted to honor the 30 most impactful young influencers from this election cycle.

Nothing controversial about it.

We just wanted to have a good time to celebrate what was going to be the start of the new golden age in America.

And of course, you know, this reporter was in attendance, and I guess there weren't enough women with penises in the crowd because

she just seems upset.

And I'm saying she, but actually this person identifies as non-binary.

So

you don't know.

Again, your bigotry is on display here.

It's exuding.

It's exuding.

I'm not making the allegations.

I'm not helping myself.

Wow, you're not.

Crazy, though.

But what's terrible about this story is that how flagrant it was.

They truly believe that the American people are stupid.

They take that photo to insinuate that this was some, you know, KKK kumbaya, and they explicitly, they did not reach out to me for comment for the story.

They didn't include me in any part of the story, and they cropped out the black people from the picture of the story.

It's absolutely insane.

You know, I don't think that they think the American people are this stupid.

I think they think their people are this stupid.

You know, honestly, because the rest of America knows what's going on.

We're all, we're all, they have destroyed themselves so much.

It is only the people that they have absolutely hypnotized that only listen or read their stuff that buy into this.

The rest of the country, the rest of the world is waking up.

They just, they just think their people are stupid, which is kind of sad for their people.

Yeah, no, it's incredibly sad.

But, you know, going to the Instagram comments

of their posts with the cover, you would be exactly right.

You know, many of these people were comparing us to Hitler's youth.

Again, a group of which I was not aware that I was even eligible for membership in because they were too lazy to figure out who actually put on this event and who made it happen.

And it's honestly, it's sad.

But I think that the reason that they're so upset is because they cannot stand to see people that believe what we believe happy in this country.

I know.

Because under the last four years of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, we were treated like second-class citizens where the DOJ was weaponized against us.

We were going through record-high inflation, record-high gas prices, and we were actually finally back.

And they cannot stand it, and they're scared of it, and they should be scared.

I have to tell you, the people in this crowd are beautiful.

All of them.

I mean, in the whole picture, they're beautiful.

I mean, it is, it's, you look at that picture.

If you didn't know there were black people there, that might, you know, taint things one way or another.

But if you're under 30 and you see the whole picture, you're like, I'd like to be a part of that crowd.

I mean, that looks like the cool kids.

You know, exactly.

But instead of calling us the cool kids, they called us the cruel kids because I guess, you know, we want to, you know, enforce immigration laws.

We believe that, you know, men don't belong in female bathrooms.

But, you know, you're exactly right.

And I think it just goes to show the difference between, you know, conservative youth and leftist youth.

If there was a leftist party like this, you would see purple hair and men with 108 pronouns running around.

But that's not the reality because we're actually normal and we have common sense.

And they hate that we're normal.

And they hate that when they look at our normalcy, it reminds them of just how abnormal they are.

I have to tell you, CJ, you should wear this as a badge of honor.

I would have this cover framed.

I mean, it is, it's really remarkable.

And the good news is, if this would have happened to you 10 years ago, you know, this would have been a disaster.

But it's happening to you now where it's hysterical.

It's just hysterical how out of touch they are.

And I mean, and not just with reality of, you know, the actual situation.

They are becoming a smaller and smaller number that really

are,

I mean, they're straitjacket people, honestly, that are left and they have no idea.

And they're still doing the same thing.

So, I mean,

your movement, others' movements are just crushing them because you have the truth on your side.

It's hysterical.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, you're exactly right.

And I think they're playing, you know, with an outdated playbook.

Cancel culture is dead.

You know, I think the president, you know, the American people gave President Trump a resounding mandate.

And with that, the people that supported him as well.

You know, I think an example of this being true is one of our sponsors for the event was TikTok.

The other was the betting platform Kalshi.

None of those institutions or companies have disavowed this event.

10 years ago, what would have happened?

You would have been done.

Yeah.

But we have a statement from

the CEO of Kalshi, which is one of the biggest prediction betting markets these days that said we would sponsor this event again, and we're not going to allow the woke mob to dictate how we run our company.

That is

amazing for it.

That is amazing.

That would have never happened five years ago, four years ago.

uh congratulations cj i really appreciate it thank you so much great job uh you know yesterday i was listening to uh lex uh freeman right um i was listening to his podcast and uh

uh andreessen was on you should listen to this podcast it has three hours but it's fascinating to hear mark andreessen talk about uh

where we are.

It is so optimistic.

Now, Mark Andreessen is the guy who, you know, was part of Twitter,

helped Elon Musk take it himself,

helped start Facebook.

I mean, he's a big Silicon Valley guy, but he's also a guy who met with me about the Blaze when we were first starting to put the Blaze on.

So he's an open-minded guy, but

he has

he's become very, very vocal.

He's been vocal for a while, but I think Elon Musk changed a lot of things.

And in in hearing him in this podcast,

he's just, he's talking, it's over.

It is over.

He is so confident that the cancel culture, that all of this stuff is going to come out, that it is just, it's, it's, we're back.

to leading the way again and all of those people have been discredited.

It was, to hear it from him was really remarkable.

I hope that's true.

I know I've been catching myself lately thinking things are going really well and feeling optimistic.

Then I'm like, wait a minute,

it never works out like this.

I know.

There's always something that happens.

The left's going to have a plan.

We know that.

Oh, I know that.

They're not going to sit here and just let everything go by.

I know that.

But I will tell you, though, that

it's never been like this.

It's never been like this.

Not my whole life.

What does that mean?

Never been like what?

It's never been.

Okay, so there was a time in the 80s where it felt kind of like this, where like, we're winning.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

It's like, yeah, America is what I thought it was.

Late 80s, right?

Right.

Mid-late 80s.

Right.

But that's not what happened.

I'm doing

a painting right now called Two Old Goats,

Greatest of All Time.

And it's Reagan and Trump walking the halls of the White House.

And I thought, as I'm painting it, I'm thinking, Reagan was the right goat for that time, and Trump is the right goat for this time.

And it wouldn't have worked the same if we switched them.

It wouldn't have worked.

Because Reagan, we had confidence that

we could fix things easily.

You know what I mean?

We had confidence that you just needed to put the right people in and you could fix things because we still had confidence in a lot of stuff.

We don't have confidence in our institutions right now.

And Donald Trump is coming in and he is exposing all of it.

You know, listening to or even reading

Schellenberger, he is convinced too that there is that all of these things are going to be exposed now.

He's like enough journalists

have found out that, oh, crap.

I can't be silent anymore and are starting to be

called out and starting to feel more comfortable to say things.

He said he thinks a great

exposure is coming.

He thinks that the era of being afraid to say something is over because of Bobby Kennedy,

Shanahan,

you know, Joe Rogan, Elon Musk.

He thinks that enough people have stood up and said,

yeah, this is bull crap, that the ones who have wanted to say something but were too afraid are now standing up.

And a lot of those are journalists.

At least that's what he believes.

And in listening to Andreessen, it's the same message.

We're in a bubble ourselves because we've been, you know, the

tortoise in the shell, you know, just putting our head back in because it's going to get bad.

Put our head back in because they're going to beat the snot out of us.

And now

we still have that reflex of, oh, something bad's going to come in.

Because it always has.

It always has.

But that may very well be what I'm feeling.

I think it's a new era.

I really do too.

I do too.

I do too.

There's a great article in the show prep today.

Let me see if I can find it real quick about

Republicans, trust but verify.

It's from Blaze Media, and it's absolutely true.

Any of these people, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg,

trust yet verify.

I don't think any of them, now, Andreessen says Zuckerberg has changed.

He says, Yeah, he said he really believes that's an honest change in him.

I don't know.

But,

you know, he's been a coward for a very long time.

Trust yet verify.

And I think we need to do that with every single person that is coming into the administration or our local politics.

You know, we were talking to Governor DeSantis earlier on the show today.

If you missed it, make sure you listen to the podcast.

He's having trouble in Florida now with these rhinos.

And these rhinos are the ones that want to run for his job soon.

And they've just voted.

They called them back in session, which pissed them off because, how dare you?

This is a publicity stunt.

No, it's not.

He's saying we as a state have to dedicate our resources to help Donald Trump get rid of the illegal aliens.

So I want everybody back in session to vote on some things to get it done.

And what they did was, you know, e-verify, you don't have to have that if you work in the agricultural department.

What are you talking about?

You don't need to know if you're a citizen, if you're picking oranges.

Don't you think that would be kind of a prime spot?

And so as the czar, again,

the rhinos, the Republicans in Florida, they vote in and they say yeah we're gonna make a immigration czar but he's also the head of the agriculture section come on

and they just gutted this thing and then named it Trump it's like true Republicans

under

mounties

whatever uh right it's some acronym that says oh we're a true blue we're gonna go after these illegals like crazy.

In fact, it's named Trump.

Oh, come on.

Do you really think, what do you work for the New York magazine?

Do you really think we're that stupid still?

Florida, please prove me correct on this, that we're not that stupid.

Call your

representative if you live in Florida and say, hey, We, you know, we have one

chance.

And any of you you mealy mouth Republicans, we will remember you.

That's not a threat.

That's a promise.

We will primary you and we will vote you out.

We will work so hard to raise money against you.

Texas, you should listen to this because this is what's happening in Texas.

As you rhinos

in the state house are playing your little games.

and giving all the power to the Republicans.

Believe me, we have a,

we're the state that remembers the Alamo.

You don't think we can remember what happened three years from now?

Come on.

Come on.

Call your

state legislator if you are in Florida and tell them to follow DeSantis, not the rump, I'm sorry, Trump people that are actually not Trump people.

They're rump people.

Back in just a second.

All right, we are here.

It is time for,

gosh, we're only a couple weeks away from the big game.

The Kansas City Chiefs are in it, too.

I really wish what you just said isn't true, but it does feel like it is always true.

I don't like it.

I don't like it, but boy, he performs under pressure.

He's incredible.

I mean, look,

No,

He's got a fantastic idea.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Boy, there are no crazy ideas right now.

It is an interesting time to be alive in America.

Senator Mike Lee is joining me now.

Yesterday, he proposed using letters of mark and reprisal to weaken the drug cartels.

And

I mean, I'm in love with this old-timey constitutional idea,

but it basically would make private citizens or companies

give them permission to be kind of like like pirates, where they could just go and just bust them up and take all their booty as long as they share it with the United States.

It would be great.

It would be cheaper and we wouldn't have to put our military in harm's way.

Mike Lee joins me now.

Mike,

explain the letters of mark and reprisal.

A letter of mark and reprisal

amounts to a government-issued commission of sorts authorizing private citizens, known as privateers, to perform acts that would otherwise be considered piracy, like attacking enemy ships during wartime.

And privateers are typically rewarded with a cut of whatever loot they bring home.

If they're able to make it back to the United States and bring home assets that can be sold, liquidated, reduced to an economic value, then the government sets up what's called a prize court.

which decides who gets what.

And typically the government keeps half of it and then

has a system for giving the privateers involved in it each their

fair share of the other 50%.

So these guys, let's say Eric Prince.

Eric Prince loves this idea.

He was like, I'm all in.

He would go down to the border and he would what?

break up the cartels by as they're shipping stuff across the border, grab their cash, their guns, their cars, they're using boats, whatever,

and the drugs, and then give those to the government.

And the government would say, okay, Eric, this part is yours.

Yeah, now, to be clear, when you say the border,

we're talking outside the United States.

I don't think this works for things found in the United States, but if outside the United States, they recover assets,

typically what we'd be looking at are assets that could be liquidated by the government.

Gold,

silver, cash,

equipment.

If they can bring those things back into the United States and they can then be sold.

Now, that also raises the question of the drugs.

Obviously, we're not going to allow those to be sold.

And so you'd either have to exclude those or the government would just have to go out of pocket to reward them for bringing that back in.

And that's one of the things that would have to be discussed.

This is a tool that hasn't been used by the United States for a long time, but it's a a tool that harnesses self-interest, harnesses what people could gain by this in a way that could really be advantageous to the United States.

Boy, I got to tell you, I love this idea.

Donald Trump Jr.

loves this idea.

But it does seem like something that Mexico would

hate.

Sure.

Sure.

I mean, it depends on who you're talking about within Mexico.

Hardworking, individual Mexican citizens who have lived under the tyranny of these cartels, who have been affected by the violence that is rampant throughout the country and sponsored by the cartels.

A lot of them would

perhaps not

have much of an objection, if any objection at all.

because they want to be free of this stuff.

But yeah, I can imagine that the Mexican government might have feelings about it.

But this is different.

This is different in the sense that it's not the United States undertaking any kind of an effort to have a military presence in Mexico, which would of course be unacceptable to Mexico.

This is about private citizens going out and

trying to seize assets of these terror organizations, of this

international criminal enterprise, bringing it back to the United States with the understanding that they'll be entitled to a cut of about half of it once they get back.

So, the one thing that I was thinking before this idea was: we're going to send in SEAL teams, and they'll just be gone before the sun comes up, and you'll never know who did it.

And there will just be a lot of dead cartel members laying there in the sun as it starts to rise.

And, you know, Mexico will hate that, but as long as we're gone in the morning, I mean, we've deemed them a terrorist organization.

Don't we have the right to do that?

Once that happens,

you can imagine that there might be circumstances in which that would occur.

But again, a letter of marketing reprisal allows us to avoid doing that.

That creates an additional set of difficulties for us that we wouldn't face if

we were authorizing privateers to do that.

These are matters of degree, of course.

But it would be foolish of us to assume that our only option involves sending in the Marines, so to speak.

U.S.

boots on the ground has a very different feel

than privateers going in and doing something on their own.

And it's one of the reasons why I felt it important enough, I put out a thread on this shape through my base Mike Lee account in which I explained a brief history of letters and marching represental, how they function, and that they ought to be considered here.

So,

I mean, I really like it, and I like the fact, I mean, I'm for anything constitutional.

Anything extra constitutional, I'm against.

But this is in the, literally in the Constitution that you can do this.

But it seems old-timey.

You know, I mean, does anybody do this anymore?

No, and the United States hasn't done it arguably

in a couple hundred years.

Yeah.

So,

but, but the focus

of this would be something that I think may well be perfectly suited for for our time and for this situation, where you focus on disrupting supply lines, capturing high-value targets, receiving assets like boats, vehicles, cash, gold, equipment used in criminal activities.

Because we all know private entities and individuals can operate with a degree of agility that you can't replicate in government, allowing them to adapt quite quickly to the tactics of the cartels and to match those.

But what would other countries say?

I mean, is anybody using this kind of stuff anymore?

I mean, it used to happen when there were pirates,

you know, with the

black flag with the bones on it.

Does anybody use anything like this anymore?

What would they say if we started?

I don't really care, but what would they say?

I'm not aware of any country using them right now.

And I'm sure there are countries that would say, oh, this violates

this or that principle of international law, either of some treaty that we haven't ratified or of what they refer to as customary international law, which is a fancy way of saying people don't do this anymore, and so therefore it violates international law.

But

all of that is beside the point if it is within our authority to do this and if we haven't forsworn the authority through some treaty that we've ratified, which I'm quite certain we have not.

And so that's why this is a tool that we shouldn't take off the table.

And it's an idea whose time may well have come.

We haven't used it in a long time.

But whereas here, we've got a different type of adversary than we sometimes face in the past.

This is not the government of Mexico, but these are

criminal

organizations within Mexico that have an international footprint that affects the United States.

and that have taken actions that are hostile to the interests of the United States and her citizens.

So in this circumstance, it would be irresponsible of us not to consider it.

And I think

we ought to explore this and perhaps issue some letters of mark and reprisal.

The fact that it hasn't happened in a long time,

likely since the 1800s, doesn't mean that the power doesn't exist.

And it certainly doesn't mean that we couldn't benefit from it.

Right.

Mike, I love this idea.

I hope it gains some traction just because it will make Mexico.

You know, I was talking to my wife the night about this and I said, you know, she said, what would Mexico say?

And I said, you know, just like you said, the people of Mexico will love this because they're tired of this.

You'd know pretty quickly who's under the thumb of the cartels and who's not,

just like we would with our government.

If somebody was coming in and saying, hey, you've got terrorist organizations and we're going to take them out.

If we knew them to be terrorist organizations, I think, you know, we might.

we might say, well, come on now, we can take care of that.

But if they could do it for us, I'm all for that.

I'd be all for that.

The people who would be against it are the ones that are really under the thumb of the cartels.

And the people of Mexico should know who those people are as if they don't already know.

Mike,

one last thing.

How do you think RFK is going to fare in the Senate?

Look, he faces a tough fight.

Democrats are

institutionally inclined to oppose anyone who was once part of their party and has now moved in the other direction.

Particularly someone with as prominent a name as R.F.K.

Jr.

has, and particularly someone who has shown a degree of contempt for the deep state, for the administrative state, for things that have gone wrong.

And so we're going to have to rely on, my hope is that we can pick up some Democratic votes.

You're for him.

Assume that we won't be able to, and that we need to be ready to produce enough Republicans to make sure that he gets through, just as we did with Pete Tagset.

I think it will be a tight vote there.

I do think he'll get through, but it's by no means certain, and that's why we've got a lineup behind him to support him.

And you're for him.

Oh, 100%.

Had a great meeting with him the other day, and

I think he brings to the table an innovative approach with a fresh set of eyes that can see that

we've created a lot of problems through our own government.

The very department that he's been asked to head as the Secretary of Health and Human Services has been a big part of the problem.

He recognizes that.

That's exactly why we need him in there.

And

our other nominees is

Cash Patel going to get through?

Yeah, okay.

So similarly to what we face with RFK,

with Cash Patel,

and also with

Tulsi Gabbard,

we're going to have to confront both of those with the expectation that we may not get a single Democratic vote.

And so that's why Republicans are so important.

Remember, it's unusual for an incoming president to not have his top-level picks

supported by pretty much every member of the president's own party in confirmation votes.

And

we've got to remember that.

And so a lot of the same people

who are on the list of those who might oppose them are people who time and time again voted to confirm Democratic nominees

named by President Biden.

I hope they will give Republican nominees nominated by President Trump at least the same degree of deference that

they gave to those nominated by President Biden.

Often, by the way, with the justification that he is the elected president,

we can't run the world as if our guy were president.

Well, if that's the case, it should be the case here.

Well, that's a nice way of saying what I believe, which is vote these weasels out if they fail to support the president.

We have one shot at this.

And so far, Donald Trump and those who are supporting him are doing amazing things in the first week, things that I never thought I would see.

And

I, for one, am excited about it.

Mike, thank you very much.

Appreciate it.

Thank you so much.

Great to be with you, Senator Mike

Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

When it comes to your mobile carrier, if you had to choose between great service or giving your money to a company that believes in and supports your values, which would you choose?

Well, I would choose both, quite honestly.

I don't want to give up one for the other.

You don't have to.

When it comes to mobile phone service, it's Patriot Mobile.

You can have both if you switch to Patriot Mobile, which is why I partner with Patriot Mobile.

You want the truth unfiltered?

Pull up a chair, my friend.

You're in the right place.

This

Playing the steel guitar there.

Bander.

Welcome to the

Glimeback Program.

The Colony Ridge, which we did one of our first documentaries on,

is a big community of just

good people that just want to be Americans

that they were making loans to, but they're not even asking any questions about those loans.

You don't have to be a U.S.

citizen.

Oh, I don't need to know that information.

So it's this huge, huge community in Houston that's a lot of illegals.

I would say all illegals, but that seems a little rash to say that when I don't know for a fact.

But, you know,

there are gangs in there and everything else.

Well, the government's going to clean it out.

And let me just say this.

It couldn't happen to a bunch of nicer people than the people that are running Colony Ridge.

You're going to be left with a ghost town,

a big ghost town, because I don't know who's going to live there.

Who's going to live there?

You did a documentary on this.

Yeah.

It's on Blaze TV right now, and it's really worth seeing to see what they're going to clean up.

Yeah, it's great.

I mean, my documentary was on the DEI and the FAA, which also seems like it's gone.

I mean, like within the first week.

Yeah.

How are they going to, how are pilots going to handle the loss of Pete Buddha Judge?

Oh, my gosh.

Well, they'll handle it really well.

By the way,

you know, we wondered if it was going to change the mind of California, if they were going to change their ways, you know, this whole fire thing.

Mayor Karen Bass still has a 37% approval rating.

That's pretty low, though, but that's incredibly high.

That's incredibly high for what happened.

I mean, you know, a good portion of the biggest city in America burns to the ground and you're like, well, I don't know, I still kind of like her.

I think she did pretty well.

I mean, I didn't have firemen out or water, or there was,

yeah, there was a pollout that said Caruso would beat her if they did, they did the election again, which I will believe when I actually see it.

You know, like you can't say, oh, well, when if it happened, then yeah, you know, I don't buy it yet.

I have to see them actually elect someone sane before I believe it.

I would like to see if they even try to get her out of office.

I mean, is that gonna happen?

Otherwise, California, you're dead to me.

You're dead to me.

This is Glenn Beck.
