Hello, you sick freak.

It's Friday.

Got a lot coming up for you.

Let me first tell you about Jace Medical.

I don't know if, you know, you're the same as me, but there are a lot of things that happened in the year of 2024 that I didn't have on my bingo card.

You know what I mean?

Especially the, what was it?

In December, it was like monkeys on the loose in Florida.

Didn't have that one.

Lots of things can happen.

Somehow or another, all of the weird things, they're not done with us yet.

All of the surprises aren't done.

One thing you don't want to be surprised about is any kind of disruption in the supply chain when it comes to medicine.

Are you prepared?

You know, this is a great thing.

Stu was talking to me about it the other day when he went on vacation.

He forgot to take his Jace case with him.

And he's like, one of the kids gets sick.

He's running around trying to get stuff.

You don't have to do that with a Jace case.

It's a simple, reliable emergency supply of life-saving medications.

Put the control in your hands.

It's not about fear.

It's just about responsibility and, you know, being more efficient.

Being prepared is the best way to protect your family and your future.

Don't wait for the next headline to wake you up.

Go to jace.com, enter the promo code Beck, and make sure you have the right meds on hand the moment you need them.

That's jace.com promo code Beck.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right.

So as of yesterday,

Yesterday afternoon, the LA Times was reporting that at least five people have died in the fires raging across Los Angeles.

Officials believe that the actual numbers are much higher than that.

Thousands of homes have been destroyed.

There is zero containment at this point.

Over 130,000 people are under evacuation orders.

The freeways are parking lots.

It's absolutely out of control.

With it not even contained and heading towards Los Angeles, it is projected to possibly be the costliest wildfire disaster in history.

Now,

I mean, there's a tendency when things like this happen to rush to politics, and that is that's understandable.

There are questions that need to be answered.

Why does this keep happening in California?

And why do the people of California keep putting up with it?

Why is California never prepared?

You would would think California would be prepared for wildfires, right?

I'm going to address part of that first.

But first, let me tell you about Mercury One.

As usual, one of the first responders there is Mercury One.

We are collaborating with multiple partners to get food and supplies to those who need it most.

We're working with churches on the ground.

Yes, there are some.

We're working with the nonprofits.

If you would like to help the relief effort, go to mercury1.org and contribute to the relief effort.

A lot of work that needs to get done and a lot of work that has to happen quickly.

By the way, so you know, and I'm going to give you all the information on this later.

In North Carolina, while the president is saying

that he's going to take care of everybody in Los Angeles, don't worry about it.

He's checks are on the way and he's going to the government's going to cover absolutely everything.

While he was saying that, Mercury One

was on the phone

doing a transaction with several hotels to pay for people who have nothing and got their big $700 check from the government.

They were being kicked out.

And

I think we've put them up now for another six or seven weeks.

So,

you know,

what isn't used in California, or they don't need in California, they still need in other disaster areas.

And we are there.

So go to mercury1.org and help if you can.

Now, many questions have to be asked and answered.

Story came out yesterday,

and I believe it's a pretty chilling example of what's to come in California if it continues to be

as crazy and it's going to be a blueprint for the rest of the country unless we all wake up.

The story from the Daily Mail reads:

Governor Gavin Newsom's infuriating reaction after being asked why fire hydrants ran out of water during the LA fires.

Now, the fire hydrants ran dry.

Rightist firefighters were going to try to contain the breakout.

Now, this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it happened.

And what was Governor Newsom's response?

I'm going to read the quote in Try Not to Lose Your Breakfast When You Hear It.

Quote.

Well, local folks are going to have to try to figure that out.

That's going to be determined by local authorities.

Wait a minute.

Hang on just a second.

So the guy who holds the highest political office in California, who is constantly meddling in every single person's personal life,

who loves big government,

more than comfortable with the phrase, trust us, we're the government, we know better, we're here to help.

The rubber meets the road.

He's been doing all the deals with water,

he looks, has the balls to look at the camera and go, what do you want from me?

You know, it's those guys.

You talk to your local person.

I have nothing to do with it.

No, sir.

That's not the way you people have set California up.

California's water situation.

I mean, we've talked about this for years,

years we've talked about it.

It is.

Interesting to look at it because it is exactly what the Biden administration was doing with public-private partnerships.

It's all public-private partnerships.

And we've talked about this before.

We first started seeing these spoken out loud in places like the World Economic Forum and then later federally canonized in an official White House document from the Biden administration.

But what do public-private partnerships have to do with water hydrants in the Palisades?

Drying up in the middle of the most costliest wildfire disaster in American history.

Well, I recently saw Anna Kasparian send out a tweet on X,

straight up dunking on Democratic leadership in California.

She said, the Democrats were responsible for this disaster.

No more passing the buck, she said.

Anna, quote, tweeted a video from an organization called More Perfect Union.

The tweet from the video states, quote, one billionaire couple owns all the water in California.

In 1994, the Resnicks secretly seized control of California's public water supply.

Now their companies use over 150 billion gallons every year while working-class people suffer under drought conditions.

Now the video goes on to demonize Resnik and the family and the business conglomerate for owning a vast amount of California water.

Now

I'm not letting this California company off the hook, okay?

But this is the response that always happens from the left.

They treat corporations all across the spectrum the same way.

And you see it in healthcare, food production, pharmaceuticals, on and on and on.

It is never the government's fault.

It's those damn corporations.

It's always the corporation.

Well, the corporations, you know, a lot of people were mad when Donald Trump said, you know, in the debate in 2016,

Well, how much taxes did you pay?

He said, exactly the amount I was supposed to pay.

Well, you didn't pay

income tax on this or this.

And he's like, you want me to pay more taxes?

Then you have to change the law.

I am operating in the system you've gamed.

And everybody does this.

So don't try to stick me out because I'm rich.

This is the way the income tax code works.

And he's right.

Well, they're doing the same thing with these corporations.

They make it so you can public-private partnership.

They make it so you can go in and game the system.

And everybody's taken their share.

You know why people aren't talking about Panama, the Panama Canal run by China now?

You know why that, you never heard that?

Because all of the politicians, most of them on both sides, were taking money from China.

So they're never going to say anything.

But now that China is bad, now that that's been exposed, I'm shocked that Donald Trump is actually exposing it because it's going to expose the graft on all sides.

And I'm happy about that.

It's never the government's fault.

May I propose,

maybe there's a little bit more to the story here.

Let's stick with California water here.

How did one family get into a position where they hold the keys to a vast amount of the state's water.

Well the video goes in into it.

Listen.

In 1994, state water officials, water infrastructure contractors, and agricultural landowners with water rights arranged a secretive meeting at a resort in Monterey Bay, California.

These groups, a mix of private companies and public agencies, rewrote California's water rules without any input from voters, taxpayers, or legislators.

The new rules, called the Monterey Plus Agreement or the Monterey Amendments, were devastating for working Californians and great for agriculture billionaires.

Okay,

this is going to make you very, very happy.

Let's stop here for a second.

Is it really only good for the agricultural billionaires and bad for the voters?

Were the giants of agriculture the only ones at this, quote, secretive table?

No.

Now they tried to make it sound like, well, there was no legislator there.

There was no government officials.

Well, huh?

It's interesting because corporations don't write laws.

Or do they?

Can you get things done without your congressman or senator being involved at all?

Yes, you can through the administrative state.

Exactly what conservatives have been saying about the United States government.

This way, there's no one to blame.

The members of the California Assembly can all say, I didn't have anything to do with this.

And they didn't.

They just set the system up to be run by a bunch of bureaucrats who can make the deals for them.

So who was joined in this secret table conversation?

State water officials.

That's who.

So in 1994, the Resnicks didn't twist their mustachios while simultaneously screwing over the state.

And I'm going to tie Nell to the railroad tracks too.

They were given this deal.

They were made public-private partners with the lawmakers in California.

Now after this deal was struck, water control in times of shortage went to the agricultural conglomerates and

first and then the urban areas like the Palisades second.

You got a problem with that?

Well, who are you going to take it up with?

The unnamed water officials that made this this deal?

No,

it should be with the elected officials.

So there's someone you can go to and say, wait a minute, you made this deal.

This is a corrupt deal, or this is a deal not in the best interest of the people.

We're voting you out.

But see,

progressives don't like accountability.

Progressives make it so the agencies have all of the power.

Is this California?

Is this starting to maybe come together now for you?

You're starting to understand

that's why we say the deep state is bad because they can get into all these public-private partnerships and do deals and no one is accountable for it.

And then when it falls apart, then when people die,

That's when all of the government officials come out with their with their cronies in the media and say, wow, we had no idea.

This is wrong.

Those Resniks bad.

Well, they might be.

I don't know.

They might be bad.

But who sat at the table and put that deal together?

All right, more in just a second.

First, let's talk to Stu about PrizePicks.

Oh, we're going to talk about PrizePicks, huh?

Well, I love PrizePicks.

Can you hear me?

I'm glad you can hear me.

I can hear you.

Yeah.

Good.

Yeah, PrizePicks is the number one daily fantasy sports app.

It's got like millions of members.

They've given out tons and tons of cash.

Of course, the playoffs going on this weekend.

If you've never used PrizePicks before, it's really easy.

You're basically going more or less in a few stat categories.

You take a player that you like, you pick, are they going to get more or less than a certain number of yards or touchdowns or whatever?

And if you string a few of those together, you can win up to a thousand times your money.

This is available in tons of states now across the country.

It's the daily fantasy app that you're going to absolutely love playing on a regular basis.

It's prize picks.

If you use the code STU,

it'll give you 50 bucks when you play a ticket that's only five bucks.

You don't even have to win to get that $50.

It's a $50

bonus just for playing your first $5 ticket.

So check it out now.

The playoffs are here.

It's time.

Get involved.

It's prize picks.

Run your game.

10 seconds, Station ID.

So all the money that is exchanging hands here

isn't just good for the private businesses.

Oh man, oh man, it is good for public lawmakers as well.

Let's go back to the video, cut two.

The Resniks donate millions of dollars to politicians and research institutions, which help them secure control over water systems and even get more water and more taxpayer funding.

One important project is the proposed California Delta Tunnel, a taxpayer-funded project which would send water from Northern California to Central, where the Resnick's farms are.

They've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on state and federal legislation and politicians who support the tunnel project.

But their favorite politician is Senator Dianne Feinstein.

You come in here and you say it has to be my way or the highway.

Chair of the Energy and Water Subcommittee.

She's a close personal friend of the Resnicks, attending their holiday parties in Aspen and maintaining their financial interests.

A quick look through the bills she sponsored shows several which would direct money to current adjacent water projects.

The Resnicks even ask her for things directly.

When a pesky study about endangering salmon and shad fisheries threatened the Delta Tunnel, Stewart wrote a letter to Feinstein demanding a new study.

She immediately forwarded it to the Obama administration, who agreed to spend $750,000 on a new study.

Yeah, study came out the same way.

So we saved the

Chad Fisher, the fishes?

I don't know.

I know that one of the reasons why Palisades is burning down is because we had to save the smelt.

And who doesn't like a good smelt from time to time?

Okay, you buy the politicians, then you buy off the experts, you buy off the Senate, the scientists, and you put it all together, and then you bring it to some bureaucrat, and they shut down the water.

That's what's happening in California.

Oh, well, that and the fact that remember one of the last forest fires was blamed on the electrical companies because they had a transformer blow and well, that just never happens and it started a wildfire.

And so, what did they do?

This time when there was a wildfire, the electrical company said, we don't want to make this worse, shut down the power.

Well, when they shut down the power, that also shut down the pumps at the water pumping stations.

so they couldn't pump any water if they had any water.

And

Gavin Newsom actually addressed this yesterday and he said,

we've talked to the White House and we're having generators shipped out here as fast as we can get.

You don't even have generators at your water pumping station?

What the hell?

I mean,

how did you not think this?

How?

What What was your plan?

I would love to see their plan.

But this just explained what you're seeing in California is exactly what is set up by the progressive left all over the country.

It also explains how corrupt government officials and their crony relationships are destroying more than just California.

It describes what's happened to American health care.

It explains what's currently happening with big pharmaceutical companies, big food, the media, the border, the homeless problem.

In blue blue states, all across the country, see California, that's what you're going to get.

Public-private partnerships are poisoning the soul of our country.

They're also causing some to turn violent.

The stage is being set for the coming insurrection.

If you know what that means, I don't use that lightly.

Taxpayers give their money to the government.

The government then goes into business with private partners.

The money and the profit stays in their lucrative little circle.

But when anything goes south, who gets the blame?

It's not the government.

They get off scot-free.

Progressive leftists will pin the blame solely on the corporation.

Or when it comes to water, Gavin Newsom tried to pin it on the local people.

I don't know.

You're going to have to talk to the local people.

What does the local person have to do with the water coming out of the water fire hydrant?

What do they have to do with that?

They sit back and laugh over and over again.

I think it's done.

We're going in deep on this on Blaze TV very soon, but

I think this is a turning point.

You know, who had on their bingo card the complete and total destruction of the second largest city in the country as the turning point for progressives?

And if they don't turn on this one, man, what is it going to take?

The moon coming crashing through your roof of your house that's been painted?

Wake up!

Would that do it?

Maybe.

Space aliens, they took out their little drones and they spray-painted the moon, wake up, and California still didn't wake up, so they just started dragging the moon closer and closer and closer to your house in California.

My gosh, wake up, California.

I think they are.

I think they are.

But

will they just replace Gavin Newsom with somebody else exactly like this?

Or will they start to wake up and say, wait a minute, our government is corrupt.

It's making deals that don't actually help or represent the people of California.

They may not have our best interest at heart.

This is

Glenn Beck.

So normally I like to sleep on a bed of money, covering myself with sheets and blankets of money.

I call the treasury and I have it.

I say, don't cut the money up.

I want sheets of $100 bills that I could pull up right underneath my chin.

I'm dressed in pajamas made of money as well.

I've lost a lot of blood from the paper cuts over the years, but what is the little sacrifice of sleeping on a bed of money, you know, if you can sleep in such style?

Well, clearly,

you know, I don't know about you, but I've never slept on a bed of money.

Cozy Earth's bedding, however, the pajamas, the bath products, are designed specifically for you.

Their products are soft, they're breathable.

But they're not money.

They're made with the highest quality materials.

Even Oprah agrees with this.

They've featured

Cozy Earth's products on her favorite thing seven times.

No, but she's a little person.

Not really, in many ways.

This is luxury that is affordable.

The emphasis on the word luxury, the quality and craftsmanship, but the price is right in your pocket.

Oh, who's not excited?

The sentencing is coming down any minute for Donald Trump.

And who's just not thrilled about that?

What do you think is going to happen, Stu?

Well, it's tough for me tell because I'm such a tingle right now, Glenn, waiting for this incredible moment of sentencing because this has been something that's so, you know, Glenn, the justice system is sacrosanct.

It is sacred to our nation.

It hasn't been abused in any way.

And if Donald Trump didn't get a penalty here, then you'd be talking about a situation where

the Justice Department didn't live up to its incredible reputation over the past few years.

But I think if they can tell, I mean, they're not going to put him in jail.

All signs are they're not even going to give him a fine.

I don't think community service is going to be the type of thing that the president's going to get.

I mean, maybe you'll see Donald Trump in

an orange suit on the side of the highway picking up trash.

I wouldn't be shocked if they try to do that to him.

Well, you've worked at McDonald's.

Why not?

There's nothing beneath him, apparently.

So

he could do that.

This is so amazing, especially when you go.

I went back last night and I was listening to some testimony in Congress back in July where

they were asking about the statute of limitations for any of these things.

And it was, you know, a year.

And the Congressman was like, well, so then how is that working?

How are they doing this?

And the way they explained it was, well, they just went around the statute of limitations and charged him with something else uh that isn't actually part of this case and then they just didn't write it down for the jury or the courts so they just said yeah um

he did this

and you didn't have to prove any of that

as i was saying sacrosanct

yes yes right i'm glad it didn't happen I'm glad it didn't happen in some racist state like, well, all the states except for for California, New York, and Washington, D.C., which should be a state,

quite honestly.

Man.

Some days too.

It's such an embarrassment.

And like, this is their last attempt to

hold on to, you know, all of this meant something, right?

They failed.

They had four cases to go on.

Three of them have basically completely failed now.

And then they had this one where they got the conviction, didn't move the needle at all.

They lost the election anyway they've been embarrassed over and over and over again by the people involved in all of these cases and like this is their like last uh box that they can check before he becomes president again and they can say well we did get a conviction he i did hear i heard it this morning on a news podcast they said he will be the first president to ever take office as a convicted felon.

Back to you.

It's like that type of crap.

That's all they're getting out of this.

Thank you very much, Johnny.

We're going to take a look at the fire situation, which is caused by racists.

Where was Larry Elder?

Where was Larry Elder?

We'll get into that a little later.

And

we should say that there's no firefighter that has told us that

there's no water for these fires.

All right, let's go to our own reporter who's standing down there.

Hey, Jackie.

Hi, the firefighters just told us there's no water.

So

I love it.

We have to play that.

Please get that.

Where is it?

Oh,

it's a real play.

Yeah.

Play the cut that we have.

I can't find it right now.

Do you have it in the studios?

Former LA mayoral candidate and real estate developer Rick Caruso criticizing the city's response to the windstorm and fires.

You've got to have water.

And my understanding is the reservoir was not refilled in time and in a timely manner to keep the hydrants going.

So that's a failure, whether on DWP's part or another city agency.

Despite what you have heard from Caruso, no firefighters have told us that they are running out of water.

Well, firefighters have told me they have no water on this block, and we may be able to make out the ember storm that we're in the middle of right now.

This house is going to be a total loss.

They have no water to put on this fire.

They are standing by because they're trying to save the home that is next to it.

You know, I love the fact that there's, you know, there's

video of firefighters

using what looks like purses, women's purses.

You know, can we fill this purse with water?

You know, so they're throwing water and gum and, you know, other things that are at the bottom of women's purses to put this thing out.

Actually, those are

on the water trucks

and they're made for

little small fires.

You know, know, if you don't have to pull out the hose, you use one of those ladies' purse-like things and you fill them with water.

This isn't one of those scenarios where you would be using one of those purse-like things, but it's the only thing they got.

It's the only thing they got.

No.

So that's, you know, it makes me feel good.

It really does.

And you feel bad because these firefighters are

being heroic.

Like, they're going out there in the middle of impossible situations and going to, yeah, going to with nothing even,

including water, and they're sitting there showing up to the correct place to fight the correct fire, and they can't have access to the most basic of elements

in our world, the most basic elements of life.

They can't get water, despite the fact a lot of these homes are a few blocks away from an ocean.

And they can't, I mean, it's unbelievable these people are risking their lives.

We have how many 10 confirmed dead already in these fires.

And good God, you know that number is going a lot higher.

Way, way.

You hope not, but I mean, you know it is, right?

I mean, look at these communities.

You know, I don't know if maybe I'm unlike everybody else, but like last night, I couldn't get off watching social media and watching all the clips from these poor, these fires, people driving by these homes.

It looks like what was promised during shock and awe back in the Iraq war.

That's what it looks like.

You know what it looks like?

We should put a side by side of the after of Nagasaki or Hiroshima.

Yeah.

Because that's what it looks like.

The aerial photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki look exactly like the aerial photos now

of Los Angeles.

And

it's incredible

that

they knew this was coming.

Firefighters knew it's only a matter of time before L.A.

burns to the ground.

And

it might.

They have zero containment of this.

How is it that,

you know,

did you hear Joe Biden with Kamala Harris yesterday?

And he was like, hey,

so go ahead, let's do rapid fire.

Fire away.

What the hell?

Oh, my God.

What is our government doing?

And I know it's politics, and

we're not to the point yet, as you mentioned yesterday, where you're going to get into all the political stuff.

We've talked about the causes of it.

A lot of them are policy-wise, but it's hard to imagine a more fitting end to the Biden presidency than the entire country on fire.

Like, I don't know that there's any other way to explain what he's done over the past four years other than a city wiped out to the ground because it's on fire and the government can do nothing about it.

That sounds about right.

Here's the clip from yesterday.

Listen to this.

Madam Vice President, I know you're directly affected, so will you fire away?

No pun intent.

All right.

Wow.

No fun intent.

Guys.

Yeah.

And so

we know you're directly affected, so fire away.

Go ahead.

What do you got planned?

I mean,

you have the biggest fire in American history, the most costliest fire in American history, and you're going to be like, just, you know, you take it.

Take it, girl.

You got it.

I got number two on this case.

Oh,

okay.

I like how, too, Joe Biden continues to give her all the best jobs.

Remember at the beginning, he gave her the border czar and, hey, just fix the Ukraine situation.

And now it's like, hey, this city's burned to the ground.

You go, girl.

Like,

that's what she gets.

It's so great.

Let me give you this one.

Here is, you know, yesterday we played the audio of the fire chief who just, there's not, there's never enough lesbians in any corporation.

Thank you.

She's like, we can never run out.

We can never have too many lesbians.

And

all for it.

I prefer.

that

they're good fire people.

There's nothing like somebody who can do their job.

You're saying good fire people

for lesbians.

Well, no, I mean good fire people fire people.

You know what I mean?

If you're not good at your job,

you shouldn't have that job.

I misunderstood you.

So you're saying fire people that aren't lesbians.

Fire all the people that aren't lesbians.

Yeah.

Okay.

I think that's the policy now.

I'm going to place some audio for you for the LA assistant fire chief.

So we know that the one that is in charge is there's not enough lesbians.

We can never get enough.

Here's the female.

I don't know if she's lesbian or not.

Fire chief,

assistant friar chief.

Listen to what she said.

You want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call that looks like you.

It gives that person a little bit more ease, knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.

Is she strong enough to do this?

Or you couldn't carry my husband out of a fire?

Which my response is, he got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.

Oh,

oh, oh, oh, okay.

Oh, it's our.

Oh, did the people, I'm sorry, did the people of the Palisades

put themselves into this situation, Stu?

It's not her responsibility to haul your fat ass out of the couch.

That's an incredible thing.

That's actually more incredible than the diversity stuff.

What kind of stuff to say?

I know.

I know.

I mean, I'd just like to remind you, when we have the world's biggest and fattest Americans, it's the fire people who take them out over the wall of their house.

I mean, let's just remember.

That is part of their job.

Well, he got himself into that situation trapped in a house that's on fire.

Who does that?

He deserves to die.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my.

Now, you'll be happy to know

she's not well paid.

She only makes $399,000 a year.

Oh, my God.

So,

you know, and you get yourself trapped in a fire.

That's your fault.

She's the assistant, too, right?

She's the assistant.

Yeah, no, she's not the head.

But,

and I don't know if she's a lesbian.

She didn't seem like a lesbian, but she is in charge of the department's DEI bureau.

So she's part of the DEI program.

In fact, she leads it.

She's the leader of that pack.

And

I think that's great.

Although, I think in Los Angeles, DEI is becoming a little more like DIE.

You know,

some of the letters

does seem that way.

Hey, if you can't get out of the house, I'm not going to go in there, risk my life for you.

You're the one that got stuck in a building that's on fire.

I think we all know it.

Hey, are there some more lesbians around here?

We need more lesbians.

We need people that look like the people in the house because it'll give the people in the house more confidence that they're going to put that fire out.

And I know if my house was on fire, I'd be like, wait, wait, wait, let me look at all of you.

Yep.

Hang on just a second.

Who sleeps with men?

Who sleeps with women?

Okay.

All right.

Great.

Okay.

thank you.

I feel confident now.

You know what gives me confidence when my house is on fire?

Somebody who's putting my house out or has the guts to run in and save my wife, my children, these seven-year-old kids were sleeping in the upper bunk.

I'm not hauling my ass up there to save them.

They're first of all sleeping in the second floor.

That floor could fall out underneath me at any time.

And then I got to climb up a ladder?

I don't think so, kids.

Maybe next time you'll choose to sleep in the basement or by the front door in a house that's not on fire.

And plus, I don't want some adult coming to save me.

I want a kid.

I want another seven-year-old.

Kids are going to look at me.

Can they do that?

They don't look like me.

All right.

This is

Glenn Beck.

You want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call, that looks like you.

It gives that person a little bit more ease, knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.

Is she strong enough to do this?

Or you couldn't carry my husband out of a fire, which my response is, he got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.

I mean, he was the one smoking.

I have to do an operation on them because I've got lung cancer.

I didn't smoke the cigarettes.

I'm not the one that got COVID-19.

What do you expect?

You're dumb enough to get it.

That one's a little bit too real,

Glenn.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

The other thing, can I point this out to progressives for just a moment?

We want people who look like them picking them up from the fire.

Not all black people look alike.

What is this

idea that like

all

it's so insulting?

Like if

a guy who's 25 years old with huge muscles comes to pick up the, you know, to come fix the fire, I'm not like, oh, that guy looks just like me.

He doesn't.

Just because he's white doesn't mean he looks like me.

I can't get out of the house because I'm fat.

This is Glenn Beck.

We have an amazing piece of work in the podcast this week.

It's John Strand.

I'll tell you about it here in just a second.

As a gun owner, you know, you pull out a gun and you shoot to kill, and you have to be prepared and you have to be confident with it.

However, there are situations where you don't want to pull your gun because it's not a lethal force, and you never want to point a gun gun at somebody unless you intend on killing them.

99% of the situations where you're in and you need force

don't require a gun, don't require shoot to kill.

That's where Burna comes in.

The Burna launcher looks just like a gun, but it will put somebody down on the ground for 45 minutes.

They are really great.

They're legal in all 50 states,

requiring no background checks or permits, no waiting periods.

Everybody in my family has one.

I urge them to keep it in their glove box or carry it with them at all times.

You want to be safe and you want to be legal everywhere.

It's Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

There's no paperwork to fill out.

They send it directly to your house.

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, no, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's going to tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

AKA Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

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

Stand your ground when times get tight.

Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

It's Friday, and we've got a lot of important stuff and some.

I think,

well, I'm going to be honest with you, it's Friday.

We're screwing off.

So we're going to give you the information that you need, but we care so little

that it could get a little out of hand.

You know what I'm saying?

We're kind of squirrely today.

So we'll get into that in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about realestate agentsitrust.com.

If you've ever found yourself taking a good look around your house thinking, gosh, you know, I really got to sell this place and move.

And then you immediately have the follow-up thought of, yeah, that's way too much trouble.

I get it.

It is a lot of trouble.

I've moved because I'm in radio and couldn't hold down a job for a long time and i've moved from state to state i moved tons of times and i never knew how to find a really good real estate agent to help well i learned the lessons and i started working with the 50 most uh or was it

No, 500 best real estate agents in the country.

I thought it was 50 for a second.

It was 500 best real estate agents.

And this was deemed by the Wall Street Journal.

They were selected by the Wall Street Journal.

So I started doing work with them and I learned what it takes to be a great real estate agent.

So we started to form a company called Real Estate Agents I Trust.com and it's dedicated to pair you up with the best real estate agent that you can trust through the whole process.

That's all we want to do.

We vet these people.

We monitor.

They don't work for me.

We're just a referral service and we really, I mean, they practically get a rectal exam with us.

I mean, we want to know everything about them.

I mean, not that much, but pretty close.

Anyway, we've been helping this audience for years now, almost a decade, billions of dollars in sales.

All you have to do is just contact us at realestateagentsitrust.com.

Tell us where you're buying and where you're selling across the street or across the country.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

All righty.

I just, I got to stop here real quick.

Just one more thing about Karen Bass, who is doing a bang-up job.

She's, no, she's on fire.

She is in Fuego.

But Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles,

she was giving some information yesterday.

Cut 25, please.

She was fabulous.

Listen to this.

Build stronger than ever.

Right now, if you need help, emergency information, resources, and shelter is available.

All of this can be found at URL.

Los Angeles, together, is how we will get.

Yeah, I think we can stop there.

Stu, would you just, would you find that information at URL for me?

Let me just type on this.

URL.

Yeah, URL.

Perfect.

Yeah, here it is.

Yeah, what

all the information I need is right here.

In fact, I will say.

URL.

All the information I needed about Karen Bass is in that clip.

But that

doesn't tell me anything about the fires.

Nope.

Nope.

All you need.

You imagine people are like home if they don't know what URL is.

And who doesn't at this point, honestly, who does not know what URL means?

You know, it's like, find all the information at www.dot

and they'll have all the information for you.

I mean, oh my gosh.

How did she possibly say that?

And I mean, just not engaged in thinking at all.

But, you know, then again, I mean, it's hard to look bad next to Newsom.

Did you see when Newsom was in the street and some woman came up to him and he's like, oh, I've got a,

I've got the president on the phone.

Really?

Can I see it?

Well, not now.

I mean, it's actually the king of England.

It's your husband I'm talking to right now.

He's really,

I got somebody on the phone.

I got to go.

Listen to this.

Cut 23.

Governor, you got a second?

No, I don't hurt.

Nope, I don't.

Governor, I live here, Governor.

That That was my daughter's school, Governor.

Please tell me what you're going to do.

I'm not going to hurt him, I promise.

I'm literally talking to the president right now to specifically answer the question.

He's literally

your daughter.

Stop, stop.

Hang on, just a second.

He's literally talking to the president right

now.

Now, see how this lie falls apart.

Go ahead.

Can I hear it?

Can I hear your call?

Because I don't believe it.

I'm sorry.

There's literally, I've tried five times.

That's why I'm walking around to make this.

Why is the president not taking it?

Ah, because he's going through.

Why?

Hold on just a second.

So he's literally not talking to the president right now.

He's literally trying to talk to the president right now.

That's why he's walking around.

He can't get cell coverage.

And, you know, honestly, what do you people in LA expect?

You know,

phone coverage wherever you are?

I mean, you know, what do you, there's a fire going on.

What do you need cell coverage for?

Hello?

Oh, my God.

It's incredible.

I was waiting for him to just go, yeah, and we'll help you out as soon as.

Dingle, dingle, dingle, ding-a-ling.

Oh, hold on.

That could be the president now.

Ding-a-ding-le-ling-a-ding-a-lingle.

Hello, Mr.

President.

It's so bad.

So bad.

And I will say, it's really sad to see the city of Los Angeles go up in flames.

I'm not as sad to see Gavin Newsome 2028 going down in flames as we watch this go on because how could this guy, how could he want to be your next president desperately?

He does.

He really does.

He'll run almost no matter what, but how could anybody put him in office after watching this?

Well, I mean, you have to read all the facts about him, and you can find those facts at URL.

Now,

let me move on to

the funeral yesterday of Jimmy Carter.

I have never seen,

honestly, I mean, it was like the housewives of Washington, D.C.

I've never seen the presidential squad with all the living presidents look

so crazy.

Let me just start with the video of them just walking in and being ushered in

because

they're ushered in.

one by one.

Bill Clinton looks like,

you know, he's probably the next to go.

I hate to say that.

Melania was so stoic yesterday.

Here's Mike Pence giving him a warm handshake to Melania and Donald Trump.

They're cordial to each other.

Melania was so stoic.

It was the one-year anniversary of her mother's death yesterday.

So...

You know, one-year death of somebody like your mom is really tough.

And so she's at a funeral.

And she's just the class.

I think she's just the classiest first lady we've had,

at least in my lifetime.

I mean, I think she beats Jackie O

and she has had

pretty much the same kind of pressure on her that Jackie O did.

And she has been classy all the way.

Then you get, let's go to Obama.

cutting up with Donald Trump.

They're at the funeral.

The funeral is like, I think, going on.

And play the video now of Donald Trump and Barack Obama.

Just sitting there.

They're laughing.

Now, I'm going to get back into the lip reading thing here in a second.

But Barack Obama is laughing.

And my favorite part is,

have you ever been,

you've been on one side of this, one side or the other.

You know when somebody's talking and screwing around in a movie theater and there's that person who doesn't want to say anything and is not going to say anything, but they just turn around and give you a look like, die.

You know that look?

Usually it comes from women.

They just turn around and look at you like, stop it.

And then they turn around there in a huff.

Well, that's what happened with Kamala yesterday.

As Barack Obama is laughing, she turns around like that school marm.

She turns around and looks at them like, die.

And then turns around and then picks up her program and pretends to read it.

And you know, she's not reading it.

She's just so

angry for some reason.

When they come in and they're seating,

they seat

the first lady and

her,

the first lady too, her husband,

when they're sitting down, then they bring in Jill and Joe Biden.

I mean,

I'm in the mountains of the West right now.

It's, I don't know, outside it's probably

one.

It was colder in that church when those two saw each other than it is right now.

I mean, it was brutal, brutal.

Let me see.

Let me

go back to the funeral thing where they're talking back and forth.

And let me tell you about the lip reader.

Did you read about the lip reader, what they said?

I don't know if this is.

Okay.

So they're talking back and forth.

And at one point,

this according to a lip reader, Trump leans over toward Obama and says, I've pulled out of that.

It's the conditions.

Can you imagine that?

Now, I don't know if he was talking about

Kamala or I don't know what it might have been some sort of a deal, global war.

I don't know what it was, but

the speculation is maybe it's the Iran nuclear deal or the Paris climate agreement.

They don't know what they were discussing, but Obama laughs.

So

I don't know how this relates to that he laughs and then Trump said and after

I will so we don't know what that means the TV pool camera cut away from the two guys and then when it comes back on Trump says call me at the foy after yep yep

and maybe that was the foyer Or there's a little-known hotel called the FOI.

At this point, I'm starting to question the lip reading.

You know what I mean?

Like, maybe

he meant the foyer, but only said the foy, and he wanted to call him

when he was in the foyer.

I mean, that just doesn't.

What?

A lot of people abbreviate foyer to foy.

Oh, it happens all the time.

All the time.

Where did you leave that?

I left it in the

foy.

Okay, right.

So he says, call me at at the FOI after.

Yeah, yeah.

Then Obama said, can you just,

it should be good.

Again, that doesn't work as a sentence.

It doesn't work.

Okay.

Like sometimes you have information you don't need to communicate to other people.

And if what you came up with as a lip reader is, and they said, he said,

I want to

ed

squirrel.

Like, if that's what you came up with, just don't talk about it.

You're probably not reading it right.

Yeah.

Right.

You're probably not reading it right uh then uh trump said i can't talk we have to find a quiet place sometime this is a matter of importance and we need to do this outside so we can deal with it certainly today

okay

what would donald trump be and and then obama's laughing

What would be important

that would make Barack Obama laugh that they had to deal with today, the two of them.

The lip reader also interpreted Obama as saying, listen to me, it's a chore.

It's a chore.

Yeah, Trump replied, I can't think of anything that is a chore.

That sentence doesn't even make sense.

No,

it doesn't make sense.

Hire for this job.

This is the worst.

I'm a lip reader.

I know what they're saying.

Soup.

Soup.

Soup.

I don't think that's what they were saying.

Maybe.

I don't know who they hired as a lip reader, but

here it is.

Oh, sorry.

I did want to interrupt.

We do have a sentence for Donald Trump that has just come down.

Oh, we do.

We do.

And it is an engagement.

You mean from the lip reader or the sentence from the judge?

I'm lip reading people on TV as we do the show.

I got a sentence from the lip reader.

Cake is good.

They've sentenced him to balloons.

I don't know what that means.

Why?

This is the sentence.

This is not me misreading a lip reader.

This is the actual sentence.

The judge has sentenced Donald Trump to unconditional discharge.

I swear.

I've had that.

I've had that before.

It's nasty.

You take some medication and

it clears up, but that unintentional or unrelenting or whatever it was, discharge.

Unconditional discharge can be, if you have antibiotic cream, you can get rid of that pretty quickly.

So unconditional discharge just means like they just let him go.

Like that's what it is.

Like he just walks out without any conditions.

That's what all of this built up to.

We spent millions and millions of dollars to say, hey, Don, see you later.

That's it.

That's the whole thing.

I mean,

fitting, fitting.

If you have

you had a discharge of any kind, call your doctor.

If that unconditional discharge lasts for four hours or more, you need to see a physician immediately.

All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

What if I told you that it's not only possible to get rid of most of all of that discharge that you've been carrying around for so long, but you might actually be able to feel good the way you used to?

Remember those days?

Here's what I want you to do.

I want you to go to relieffactor.com.

ReliefFactor.com has helped me and helped so many people in this audience.

It's a supplement that helps your body fight pain every single day, but it works with your body in a natural way.

It's 100% drug-free.

That's what I like the most about it is you're not taking drugs all the time.

You're taking something that boosts your body to help fight that inflammation, which is the cause of most of our pain and honestly most of our disease as well.

You can get inflammation under control.

You're going to live a better life.

That's what Relief Factor does.

And for 70% of the people who have pain, they take the

three-week quick start trial.

And I'm sorry, I just have a bad case of discharge on my tongue right now.

And

anyway,

they take the three-week

quick start trial, and it works for them.

So take it for three weeks.

Take it as directed.

If you see any improvement in your pain, keep taking it.

If you don't, it's probably not going to work for you.

But at least you've tried everything.

Try it now.

$19.95, less than a dollar a day.

Take it for three weeks.

800 for relief.

800, the number for relief.

It's relieffactor.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

So

we got the lip reader, who, by the way, I found out who it is.

He's a lip reader in London.

So I think

he worked 16 years at the University College, London, certified expert witness for litigants, the police, and journalists.

So another job

just won't do.

Just won't do.

We couldn't get a lip reader here.

We couldn't get an American.

I don't know.

He said nothing about fish and chips.

I have no idea what they were talking about.

He's here on an H-1B visa.

And

if you have unconditional discharge or H-1B visas,

see a doctor.

The city of Los Angeles, you know, you cut funding for the fire department, but that's only because they needed some really important stuff,

including a midnight stroll transgender cafe.

That's what they spent the fire money on.

A midnight stroll

transgender cafe.

What would that even be?

I might have gotten that from the lip reader.

okay

i have no idea what that is okay so they actually make a it's only open at midnight you have to walk through it and not only you have to be transgendered or all the people who work there are transgendered what would you have i have no idea i don't know i've this is a new one to me i'm i'm kind of old-fashioned i i didn't spend a lot of time in the midnight stroll transgender cafe in my hometown

so i'm i'm not sure exactly what that is the The lip reader is standing by, and he's just like, I don't know.

It looks like a woman to me.

That's his role in all of this.

So the Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe, also, they spent money on a gay men's chorus.

So

gay men's chorus.

Chorus, yeah.

You have to be gay to be in the chorus or they only sing about gay men?

No, I think.

Or both.

I think you have to be gay to be in the chorus.

Now, Los Angeles allocated $100,000 to the civil plus human rights and equity department for the trans

for the Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe.

So that only took $100,000.

And it is...

to support a safe haven for unsheltered transgendered individuals in Hollywood.

So it is,

I see, I see what it is.

If you live out on the streets and you're in danger and you're transgender,

they got a cafe open for you at night.

At midnight.

Yeah.

And you and individuals, you can't be in a group.

No transgendered groups

can come into our midnight stroll restaurant.

No,

no.

Also, they appropriated $8,670 for the One Institute, the International Gay and Lesbian Archives.

I don't know what they're archiving, but they've got those archives for $8,000.

Okay.

This is Glenn Beck.

My gosh, wait till you hear the rest of this.

I've been telling you for years now, precious metals are the best way I know to protect your investments.

If you have worked your whole life and you have that nest egg, that nest egg could be gone.

I mean, at some point, this whole thing comes unraveling.

And in four years, if we keep on this pace, we'll be $51

trillion

in debt.

I don't know.

That's kind of a

problem.

And we're already paying a trillion dollars in interest every year.

This is going to affect your dollar and your savings.

Please, I want you to call Lear Capital at 800-957-GOLD.

See, what people don't understand is gold price doesn't actually go up, it's that your dollar is going down.

So, gold is just holding the value and inflation and everything else.

It's just holding its value.

What the dollar was worth, you know, 15 years ago was about 400 bucks.

Now

it's 3,000.

Call Lear, 800-957-GOLD.

800-957-GOLD.

If you're suffering from unconditional discharge, the only cure is Blaze TV.

Go to blazetv.com/slash Glenn and use the promo code GLEN.

All right, the sentence has been handed down by the judge in the Donald Trump felony.

Remember, 34 felonies, and he was given unconditional discharge, not to be confused with premature discharge.

This means the judge, this is usually given

for somebody who, you know, has broken a minor, minor law.

And that's when they, you know, they're like, okay, yes, yes, you did cross the street and jaywalk, but there's no punishment here.

Just don't jaywalk again.

Okay.

So it's usually used for very light sentences,

as I read it, Stu.

Is that right?

Yeah, that's what I've been, you know, reading as well.

Typically given for minor offenses where the judge deems formal punishment unnecessary.

However, the conviction is still recorded and it may appear on your criminal record depending on jurisdiction.

So they, you know,

they can still say he's a convicted felon.

They can still say all things.

Correct.

That's about it.

But he doesn't need to serve any time because he's president of the United States and we failed on our real goal, which was to keep him out of the office of the presidency.

We don't want to get in any more trouble.

So we're just going to say, okay, well, he's a felon, but it doesn't really matter that much.

It's unbelievable.

Maybe, maybe,

maybe this judge has tried new grudge-ital.

Grudge-itol works fast.

Within 24 24 hours, you'll feel like a whole new person, capable of eye rolls, sassy comebacks, and even declining invitations you don't want to attend.

Grudge-ital, not for everyone.

Side effects may include excessive passive aggressiveness, overuse of the phrase, not my problem, and a sudden urge to start every sentence with, well, let me stop you right there.

Some patients reported being too good at holding grudges and refusing to forgive minor transgressions like spilling salsa on the carpet.

Ask your therapist if Grudgeitol is right for you.

Remember, it's your boundaries.

It's your rules.

Grudgeitol.

Maybe he had some of that.

Maybe he did.

Maybe he did.

It seems like what he's been taking.

He's been, you know, throwing those things back like crazy.

He did go through a long

dissertation on the extraordinary powers granted to the President of the United States when it comes to immunity.

And

so

he was basically saying, I would have loved to have punished him with more, but there's not much more I can do.

So this is what I'm going to do.

Yeah.

And, you know, if you're not going to be able to do that.

There's not much more legally I can do because really the whole court case was a farce of legality.

That's the truth.

That's the truth.

It is.

That's not what he was saying, though.

He was trying to make the opposite case that, hey, we know we got him on 34 felonies, but I can't do anything.

I know.

So this is all I could.

I can't do anything.

I can't do anything.

What a weasel.

How much did this trial cost the state of New York?

Oh, my God.

How much did they spend?

Millions of dollars.

Millions of dollars.

How much time did the state of New York, the officials spend, instead of tracking down killers and everything else, on running this case against Donald Trump, which was...

which was a complete farce from the beginning.

The statute of limitations didn't even apply.

nobody's ever been tried for this okay the 34

felonies are just because they kept counting the same felony over and over again yeah well he did that on tuesday too well he did it on wednesday and thursday even worse than that glenn it was each count of this each payment right you have a the payment that went to michael cohen was you know essentially what they were saying was a crime which again is idiot idiotic but each and it was a monthly payment right a monthly payment.

So, really, what we're talking about is one payment, right?

Well, there's one instance of this if you really want to go to it.

But then they decided to expand it to 12 monthly payments.

And then on top of that, they said not the payment,

the

invoice was a separate crime for each payment.

And then I think the recording of it in the ledger was a third crime for each of these.

So it came to 34 because of a couple of details on a couple of the months.

But the bottom line is that's how they came up with 34 felonies.

They just wanted that number to be high.

And they wanted that number to be high enough so that you in Pennsylvania or you in Nevada would not vote for Donald Trump.

This, of course, backfired enormously, and you're left with unconditional discharge.

Which is so funny.

It's so funny.

I mean,

it's the perfect ending for this.

Perfect ending.

Except it shouldn't be the ending.

Donald Trump should pursue this and have his record wiped.

So he should pursue this so he doesn't have 34 felonies.

I mean, I'm not going to sit there with that on my record.

I want to expose the bums for what they did.

So I think he should pursue this and maybe then give the judge some of that discharge.

and see how that works out for him.

I do think for the country, though, the best case scenario would be that none of this ever happened.

But now that it has happened, now that they have convicted him, I know Trump was fighting the sentencing and didn't want it to occur.

I am, you know, now that we all know that it was absolutely nothing, I am glad that it's over.

Like, it would be hanging over him.

They would still be bringing it up, and they would say, as soon as he gets out of office, they're going to sentence him.

And then, who knows, maybe they would sentence him to something more serious.

I'm glad.

I mean, this is over.

If he wants to challenge it, I think that's great.

He wants to get it just expunged from the records.

I hate to say expunged when he's talking about unconditional discharge, but

I think it's a good idea.

I've had to use that expunge.

The Holz expunge, I have one on my sink right now.

News for the Pfizer.

Yeah, no, I think.

Expunged.

I think there is a real argument for him to pursue this just for his legacy and just because it's wrong from the beginning.

But at least you also have to fix the country.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, here's the thing.

I was having dinner last night with some friends, and I, uh, we were talking about the Epstein case, uh,

the January 6th case.

Don't mention discharge here.

Don't

I promise I won't go there, but I just, I just want to highlight that I was having dinner with some friends.

We were talking about the Epstein case.

It's such a Glenn Becks

thing to say.

And then we went, and then we went into, how big is the room in your bunker that you're protecting yourself from the nuclear apocalypse?

And

these

are the dinner.

We were talking about the January 6th case.

We were talking about the P.

Diddy case, the Epstein case.

And the question was that I posed was,

is the truth ever coming out on this?

Is Donald Trump going to release this because of the danger that I think anyone who is involved in exposing that is going to be in?

I mean, this is Jason Bourne level stuff to where you've got all of these names of the most powerful people on earth.

Epstein did not kill himself.

You have all the names of the most

powerful people on earth that can make things happen.

And you're going to put that case together and then try it or put that case together and then try to find the journalists that are going to release all of this.

I mean, that's a dangerous job.

And I wondered, because it's going to affect both the Republicans and the Democrats, are we ever going to find out about these things?

And

I think what would make Donald Trump Abraham Lincoln would be to take it on and release all of the raw facts of all of it and let the chips fall where they may.

That's the only, you have to lance a boil.

And that was a good phrase to use at dinner last night.

You have to lance a boil that is on our country.

And that is all of this infection of lies and deceit and corruption.

We have to get that out of our system.

And the only way to do it is to just walk through that fire.

And he is Lincoln-esque in that his political opponents keep trying to kill him.

So he has that going on.

Never at a play, though.

No, no.

I don't think he's a big Broadway guy.

As New York-friendly as Donald Trump is, he's a big Manhattan guy.

Don't see him on Broadway all that often.

Do you think he'll do this?

Because, I mean, look,

it's something he's promised, right?

I mean, this was a ⁇ he ran during the campaign.

I don't want to,

but he's run on releasing all this stuff and being that transparent president we were promised back in the days of Barack Obama never received.

He wants to get all this stuff out there.

He says he has.

He was going to.

Now, I know he said that about Kennedy in the first term, and then some stuff comes up.

And so that's what I wonder at this point whether that sort of thing will be what we see here.

Because you're right, there's a lot of people, a lot of people he knows, you know, were involved in this.

Not all his enemies either.

I mean, like, you know, I think.

And I don't think it's, see, that's that's the thing.

I think if Donald Trump is really truly wants to be the

transformative president, part of transforming our nation is resetting it, resetting it on truth.

And so you have to expose all of those lies.

So it can't be, and

I'm not sure Donald Trump is the one that says, hey, I'm going to protect you because

you're a friend of mine.

I think he's the type that would look at it and go,

how much trouble is this going to cost?

will it be worth it um because that will be that will just cause turmoil like crazy all over the world will it be worth it in the end i believe it is because truth has to be restored and we have to know who the bad guys are i mean if if if

if this you know p diddy stuff is happening in hollywood We went after with the Me Too movement, we went after people and, you know, we got Harvey Weinstein out.

Now, why didn't we get P.

Diddy out?

Why didn't we get other people out?

Weinstein was just the one that everybody targeted and they did get some, a couple, but we haven't cleaned that out.

Why were we willing to take on that?

Why were people brave enough to step up and say, this is what's going on with Weinstein?

Because we were all disgusted by it.

But why won't they continue to do that?

And I think it's because there are too many very, very powerful people.

Weinstein, in the end, they made it seem like he was really the only one.

And then there was a couple of others, but it wasn't widespread.

But I think this stuff is widespread.

Yeah, I mean, and to be fair to our justice system a little bit, which takes a decent amount of beating, deservedly so.

You know, Jeffrey Epstein died in prison.

despite whether you how you think he died or not he died in prison p diddy is in prison right So

some of this stuff is happening, and we should be able to get some of these answers.

We have received a lot of the answers on Epstein.

I mean, this was covered widely in the media.

I mean, as much as we bash the media, they did actually uncover this after the justice system failed us the first time he went, quote unquote, to prison where he would just basically hang out in a building that he was paying for.

That all went down, and we did eventually find out.

I just think it takes a long time, number one.

And number two, it never really feels like we get the full story.

Like, I think we do know a lot about what Jeffrey Epstein did.

We know a lot of his criminals, right?

We have a lot of the illegal accusations against P.

Diddy, but we don't know all the people who were involved in the periphery.

And that's what I think people want.

Yeah, they want to know, look, if this were happening to the average person, if this was just a ring of people that weren't famous or powerful, every single one of those, those names would be known, their pictures would be known, and they'd all be in jail.

And that's what I think America needs and must have on all of these cases.

We've got to fumigate and start from scratch.

You've got to, if you want to reset it, you cannot let the infection be anywhere in the body politic.

All right, back in just a second.

Let me talk to you about my Patriot supply.

Trump administration coming in feel pretty good, but you know, as well as I do.

I mean, look at California.

You're going to let your guard down?

You know, California is a man-made issue.

That's not global warming.

That's man-made.

That is incompetence that did that.

So I don't care if it's God that's doing things, if it's man-made, if it's war, whatever it is, there's going to be some real problems.

And with cyber attack, invasions,

you know, God forbid the things go awry with Iran or with Russia.

Glenn Beck

will be right back.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

I'm sending some pictures to the studio Stu, so maybe next hour we can put them side by side.

But I looked up pictures of

Hiroshima and

pictures of Los Angeles.

And you put them side by side, and it's the same view.

It's the same view.

You know, one took a

fraction of a second to destroy.

This one, I mean, it amazes me that here it is, the second largest city in the country,

and we still have zero containment of that.

Zero.

And they're catching people, setting more fires.

There was another fire that was set last night.

What do you make of that, Glenn?

Because

I think, like, obviously, priority one is putting these fires out.

But, like, at some point, do we think about this as, you know, almost like a terrorist attack?

I mean, this would be more successful than anything al-Qaeda could pull off.

Oh, yeah.

And don't put it out the realm of possibilities that this, you know, was started by an adversary,

or at least the adversaries start to,

you know, join in on the fun.

You have a chance, there is a chance that all of Los Angeles is burnt to the ground.

Think of that.

In today's world,

how is that even possible other than by liberal policies and just absolute incompetence in California?

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

Stand your ground

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glen Beck program.

You know, as we wrap up the week of January 6th, I wanted to have John Strand on again.

John was on with me earlier this week.

He is a guy who served a year in prison.

The Supreme Court overturned, but his story of what they did to him in solitary confinement and everything else is just horrific.

And I did a podcast with him yesterday.

It's available

for all the Blaze TV subscribers right now.

But if you want to see it, then you don't have a Blaze subscription.

First of all, you should get one.

Second of all, you can see it wherever you get your podcast tomorrow.

But it is quite a remarkable story, and I'm going to go through it with him here in just a second.

Stand by.

Every day, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is doing vital work, helping provide for the security and other needs of Israelis, both in the Holy Land and around the world.

They've provided bomb shelters, protective gear, and other emergency supplies for first responders, assistance to soldiers and their families, food boxes for Israelis who might be stuck in bomb shelters for days or even weeks.

It has been quite a remarkable thing and you've been part of it.

They've even delivered a mobile firefighting unit that helps put out their fire started by terrorist rocket strikes.

Maybe we should start sending some of that to Los Angeles.

Oh, no.

They'd probably sell it off for DEI stuff.

Anyway, if you'd like to help the people in Israel and just stand and support the people in Israel, all you have to do is just give as generously as you can.

Make a gift right now at 888-488-IFCJ.

You can call them now, 888-488-4325.

Or you just go online, read a little bit about them, see what they do, and pledge some support.

Supportifcj.org.

That's one word, supportifcj.org.

So here we are on Friday.

Yesterday, I talked to John Strand.

Now, he is a January 6er.

He tells the story of why he was there, what he was doing.

He was actually invited to be there.

He was with the speaker that was supposed to speak.

And he was not on the side where they were breaking the windows and everything else.

He was by the Columbus doors.

And these Columbus doors are these enormous bronze doors.

You're not opening them.

They have to be opened for you.

And somebody opened those doors.

It's still kind of

You know, kind of a mystery how those things were opened still.

But the Columbus doors were open and they started pouring in.

He thought it was like a relief valve because everybody was being crushed in this one area by the Columbus doors.

So they walk in and he's with somebody who's supposed to speak.

They go into a rotunda and she starts to speak for anybody who is listening.

A week later, he is

They barnstorm his

place of business, break down the door.

He comes in, they come in, they arrest him.

He's disappeared for four days, not allowed to make a phone call for four days.

Then he's tried.

He pleads not guilty because he said, I didn't do any of the things they said I did, and I can prove it.

And,

you know, they were charging me with nonsense, and I can prove it.

He eventually did in the Supreme Court, but he was put in solitary confinement for four solid months.

Now, solitary confinement is known as

cruel and unusual punishment all over the world.

You don't put people and leave them to rot for four months.

And the way he described this, it's terrifying.

Here he is on John Strand on solitary confinement.

What is solitary confinement like?

I mean,

it's terrible.

Physically speaking,

it's very suffocating.

It's just very harsh, and it's very

desolate.

So I think maybe that's a good word to describe that in addition to being very uncomfortable and very intimidating, There is this element of total despair that creeps in very quickly, but continues to gradually build.

And you realize you're being strangulated by this sense of despair that you can't quite see or identify, but there's no remedy for it.

You have nowhere to turn.

You have no one to talk to.

You have no honesty or logic or rationality in an explanation of anything.

Most of the people there ignore you or are rude to you.

So it's like being in a, I describe it as if imagine you were on a submarine, Glenn.

So you, you know, like I said, I'm on deployment.

So this is a military mission.

I'm trying to take it seriously, but I know I'm in a war and there's people that are against me or whatever.

I'm on a submarine and suddenly someone trips me and I fall into this closet.

The door swings behind me.

I jump up, but the door's already locked.

I'm banging on the door and then I suddenly hear this sound as the submarine I could tell is dropping to the bottom of the ocean and then

It hits the bottom.

No one is coming.

You keep banging on the door.

No one is answering.

And then after a few minutes, you realize I am stuck in this concrete closet in the bottom of the ocean.

And I don't know if anyone knows or cares that I'm here and if they'll ever come and get me.

And then another day goes by.

And then another day goes by.

And physically, you are miserable and that pain is compounding with every day.

So everything is compounding by the hour, by the day, by the week.

You're supposed to have a phone call.

Do you have a window?

Can you see time pass?

One sliver of a window.

So, yeah, I could see daylight in the day.

Well, at least in one solitary unit.

In another solitary unit, it was so dark and the window was so slim that actually I couldn't see day.

So different solitary units have different conditions.

The one I was in that I spent the most amount of time in

was a concrete square hut with various isolation units.

I couldn't see these people, but the inmates were

savage like animals, screaming, yelling

constantly, almost never stopped throughout the course of the day.

At night, they would be exhausted and fall asleep, but during the day, it picked up again.

I hyperventilated at one point because I just couldn't get away from this cacophony that sounded like the dark corners of hell.

I mean, it was hellish in that sense, very literally.

Did you get to go outside at all?

Did you, because I've

you

have to, you have to have an hour or something outside, right?

So the policy says you must have an hour of recreation per day.

And when people hear recreation, they think you get to stand outside, you get to dig your toes in the grass, you are human on a planet.

No,

No.

First of all, they ignore that rule half the time.

So I was in a concrete shoebox for about 164 hours a week.

But for the two or three hours that I might actually get the wreck time, they just dragged me to a different part of that concrete building where they had taken the ceiling off with a cage above it.

So you could see the sky through the cage.

You're in a dog cage inside of a concrete building where you can see a piece of the sky.

that was their recreation

like that

and they're supposed to give you

they're supposed to give you a phone call Glenn even in isolation the rules stipulate a phone call at a minimum every seven days and when you are in those isolation conditions that phone call is the difference between life or death you will scratch their eyes out to get that phone call.

I was ready to scratch my own eyes out just to hear the voice of my mom or my girlfriend or my attorney or someone tell me, we're still here and we're going to get you out of this hell.

They violated that?

You didn't get it every week?

Nope.

It took almost three months before a lawyer got through a call,

and it took four months before I was finally taken out of solitary.

And that was only because of Congressman Matt Gates bringing the fire in Congress and bringing the weight down on the BOP to realize they better start changing some things.

So they whisked me out of the middle of the night to spite him because he was going to come and visit on site.

Middle of the night whisked me away before he could get there to take me to a different facility, and I was finally taken out of solitary.

It is

quite amazing.

We talked about

how are we going to solve this?

What should happen

first to those who have been caught up in this net?

Cut for.

Do you have cut four?

I think at this point, everybody would have spent their time in prison.

If this was a normal case, everybody would have already served enough time.

And I don't think it's fair to, you know, Donald Trump says we have to take it case by case.

And I understand that thinking, but when you know that something has been wrong with a prosecutor, you don't just let the

one guy that you know for sure has been wrongly prosecuted.

If that pattern appears in other cases, you got to let everybody go.

Because

you know something's wrong.

Yes, you know something's wrong.

So just based on that concept and that law,

every single person should be released because you can't go back and say, well, this guy, you know, this guy wasn't as bad because you don't know.

It was the same people involved that did you.

And we know that was wrong.

So how do we do anything other than say everybody out?

Everybody's out.

100%.

Time served.

100%.

Right.

You are correct, Blenn.

You are absolutely right.

And I don't think there's a credible argument against what you said.

It is absolutely, fundamentally clear that this process was totally corrupted.

It was irredeemably tainted.

But legally speaking.

Correct.

And people, I guess, would argue and say, well, but the violin, but that's not the way it works.

We have this for a reason.

I'm not making up something new.

I'm not asking for something that hasn't been done before.

This is our rule of law, is it not?

Exactly.

That's the term I wanted to say.

When we say the rule of law, what does it mean?

It means there is a pre-established rule by which we comport our behavior, by which we comport our review and investigation, by which we comport our administration of justice.

And that rule says,

that rule says that if the government is shown to be nefarious or corrupt or even just derelict,

you must throw it out.

And it's very simple.

Why, Glenn?

It's very simple.

Why?

The founders told us, I believe George Washington, when the people fear the government, there's tyranny.

When the government fears the people, there is liberty.

And George Washington also said, government is not eloquence.

It is force.

It's a fire that will burn things to the ground if you don't keep the guardrails.

So Thomas Jefferson said

we must speak no more about the good intentions of man, but we must bind them down by the chains of the Constitution.

Correct.

Now, here's the thing on this, is

when this rule has ever been enacted before, you don't get mad at the person,

the judge or

whomever that says, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

All of this has to be thrown out.

You're supposed to get mad at the prosecutors.

You're supposed to say,

you morons have done this in a legal way.

You've let bad guys go and you've persecuted good guys now.

It's not the judge, or in this case, not Trump that is making this judgment.

This is the way it's supposed to be because you screwed up.

And without that slap on the face, not on the wrist, but on the face of the prosecution, you'll never change anything.

100% agree with you.

And I wouldn't call them morons.

I would call them knaves and scoundrels because they weren't stupid.

They knew what they were doing.

This was political, of course, and ultimately it was evil.

It was highly unethical.

It was wrong.

It was an egregious abuse of their prosecutorial power and of their government-issued positions of authority.

It was immoral, it was wrong, and it was gravely evil and has caused an incredible amount of destruction and even death.

So, that's not an exaggeration at all.

So, this is a conversation I had yesterday with John Strand.

It's about an hour, and it is riveting.

His stories of how he was treated and what happened, absolutely riveting.

Do not miss.

It'll show you how far away from truth and real justice this country still is.

And what are we going to do about it, gang?

You can find that podcast at blazetv.com slash Glenn, or you can go wherever you get your podcast tomorrow and watch it there also on YouTube.

All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Rough Greens.

Maria wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.

She said, our dog had really bad skin allergies and we had already tried the recommended treatments, but nothing worked.

She had a really bad smell, too.

But three days into the trial, we noticed the difference.

It's been almost two weeks now, and the odor is completely gone.

There's no more itching, and her red bumps are all but gone.

Definitely worth the price.

Welcome to the Glendeck program.

I want to put a couple of pictures up.

First, let me put up the picture of

Los Angeles and show you what's happening in Los Angeles, what the streets look like.

Here's a color photo.

Now, let me put another photo next to it, show the next one.

And that one is Hiroshima.

And that one is after Hiroshima has been cleaned up a little bit, so you don't have the

dark burn marks anymore everywhere.

But it looks very much the same.

Does it not, Stu?

Yeah, it really does.

It's shocking.

It really is.

I mean, you see these things happen from time to time, but they don't look like this.

I mean, this is complete and utter no structure left standing.

This is, I mean, what does the rest of the world think

of America and where we are right now?

Can you imagine if London was burning down to the ground and you found out that it was corruption, they didn't have water,

none of the pipes were working, you would think, oh my gosh, England is over,

wouldn't you?

Yeah.

What do you think the rest of the world is thinking about us?

It's kind of how I felt when Italy was going through that first wave of COVID and they were like shutting things down.

I just remember thinking, thinking, what kind of society would do such a thing?

I thought only China would do something like that.

And then there we were a couple of weeks later.

And in Los Angeles, it was worse than really anywhere else other than New York.

Same people.

Yeah, that's true.

That's true.

It's funny, Glenn.

If you look at

the way that they're reacting to this, there's only one way to react to it if you're on the left.

Right?

You have been in control of all of this.

You are the people doing all the environmental policies.

You are the people in control of every level of government.

It's all on you.

The only thing left for you to say is climate change.

Because that's how, because you can just blame people driving around Indiana in a minivan, then you can somehow justify that you are not a complete failure in all of this, and this isn't entirely your fault.

They're now to the point, Glenn, where

one of, you know, someone who was married, one of Elon Musk's

wives, I don't remember who it was, but was saying

X1B or C, I don't remember which one it was.

It was evacuating the area and posted something about evacuating.

And people on the left are now hitting and saying,

hey, how does it feel to be married to one of the biggest climate deniers in the world?

Elon Musk is a climate denier?

The man has...

revolutionized electric cars.

He's been saying he's building spaceships to escape climate change.

He is the farthest thing you could possibly say away from a climate denier if one actually existed.

And they are so dedicated into holding their ideology through this.

I don't know that they're going to recognize that.

This has been entirely their fault.

They may not.

Yeah, they may not.

It'll be interesting to watch.

If this isn't a wake-up call for the people of California, nothing will wake them up.

Nothing.

Their bottom is death.

It really is.

I've talked about this.

You know, alcoholism is a really bad thing.

And it just, you create a world of lies and you live in those, thank you, and you live in those lies and you live in the lies until you can't live there anymore because you've burned everything down to the ground.

Your whole life is a lie

and you just can't do it anymore.

And my mother died when I was very young.

She was an alcoholic and her bottom was death.

Thank God mine wasn't.

To get me to sober up didn't take death.

California, if you don't wake up and get sober after this,

I'm afraid your bottom will be death.

And

I

highly recommend just admit some things and take some steps to restore sanity.

Glenn Beck.

Oh, that feels so good, doesn't it?

Sarah Gonzalez is joining us.

She's the host of Sarah Gonzalez Unfiltered on Blaze TV.

She has also just been named Madam Vice President of the Texas Family Project, which is working to save children from

all kinds of sexual things.

Welcome, Sarah.

How are you?

Thank you.

Thank you so much, Glenn.

I appreciate you calling me by my rightful title, of course, Madam Vice President.

Madam Vice President.

Yeah.

You have to start calling me doctor.

But anyway,

so,

Sarah, first, let's talk about the Texas Family Project.

What is it that they do, as if I don't know?

Yes, yeah, sure.

So I was working with them previously on my initiative, Defend Our Kids Texas, in which, of of course, we are working to stop the sexualization of children in the state of Texas.

Texas Family Project, I decided to take on a larger role just to work on all the great work, not just for families, but of course for children with school choice,

with making sure that casinos, casino gambling doesn't come in and destroy families here in the state of Texas.

But there is just so much work that we still need to do.

do here in the state and Texas Family Project, you know, I've partnered with them and done so much already.

And And so we decided, you know what, let's join together and strengthen our relationship and help to save children and strengthen families here in the state of Texas.

And if anyone is, you know, wants more information, they can go to TexasFamilyProject.com to help support our

Let me ask you,

how do casinos wreck families?

Yeah, I think

no, no, no.

It's the same question that I had as well.

But you would be surprised at the statistics they show with, you know, when casinos come into certain areas, there is more gambling addiction that then goes on to absolutely financially destroy families.

You end up with more divorce rates.

I mean, you would be shocked to see the statistics on how it actually does harm families and family dynamics when you bring that thing into Texas.

It's just like you, a traditionalist that wants to define family in only one way.

Let me tell you, the casinos are run by family.

You know what I'm saying?

All right.

So, Sarah, I want to talk to you about a story that seems like it's very Texas, but it's not.

This is happening in all of our states.

It's happening in our federal government as well.

And it is something that Donald Trump needs to be very, very aware of, and I think he is: of these people who pretend to be just like you,

but they're not just like you.

Republicans who will give away the entire country to the left.

We had a Speaker of the House here, Phelan, which you helped

get out of the

House.

He was a Republican.

I mean, it's almost impossible to be elected here in Texas as a Democrat.

And so Democrats just change their label to Republican, and they run as Republicans.

And for some reason, people accept that.

Well, this guy becomes the Speaker of the House, and he throws in with the Democrats and was in for a long time and

was appointing Democrats as chair of different

committees.

And one of them was education and trying to get school choice through.

It didn't happen because of him.

Well, people had had enough of it.

They throw him out.

And now we've got, I think his best friend.

is trying to horn in and do the same thing and become the chair of the House.

And they vote on Tuesday.

Yes.

Yeah.

So

Dave Phelan, unfortunately, is still technically in the House as a representative, but it became very clear and very obvious that he did not have enough support.

His name was too tarnished to secure the position of Speaker.

So he had to drop out after, you know, indignantly saying he was going to be the next Speaker of the House.

So we did have a win there, but you're right.

His little crony, the rhino Dustin Burroughs here in the state of Texas, filed to run for the position at the last minute.

And Glenn, you won't believe what happened after that.

The GOP caucus met to select their next speaker because, of course, I mean, obviously, Texas has a strong Republican majority.

And so you would assume whoever the GOP caucus selects should be the rightful speaker of the House.

It's of course in the rules.

But when it became obvious that Dustin Burroughs, Dave's bestie, was not going to secure a majority of the Republicans, he and about 31 other rhinos, you know, similar to my four-year-old throwing a temper tantrum, they just left the caucus meeting.

They just took their balls and they went home and they refused to participate in the process because it wasn't going their way.

So

remaining members finished.

First of all, go ahead.

May I just say, first of all, it's take their ball.

And I think that's important to say because the way you said it insinuated that rhinos had balls and they don't.

That's a great point.

Thank you for clarifying that, Glenn.

All right, thank you.

So the remaining members, of course, in the Republican Party finished the process, and David Cook was selected to become the next Speaker of the House in that process.

He is the Texas House reform candidate.

He understands the conservative priorities.

He understands that we need to ban Democrat chairs.

He has signed on to all of that, and he was selected within that process.

Well, the Rhinos have decided they're not going down without a fight.

So Dustin Burroughs, instead of following the GOP caucus rules that state that Republicans have to get in line once they have their little meeting, he decided that he was going to partner with the Democrats to win the speakership.

So he has still not dropped out.

He's now boasting more Democrat support than Republicans, if you can believe that.

So he's listed, according to one of their members, Burroughs has listed 31 Republicans and 38 Democrats that are supporting him right now to become Speaker of the House.

So we are now in the state of Texas in a battle for who is going to control the Texas House, Democrats or Republicans, even though there are 88 Republicans and 62 Democrats that are about to be sworn in.

So

what do people do?

This vote's going to happen, and we're going to go right back to the crap we had if the people in Texas don't stand up.

And this is not just a Texas story.

This is happening all over the country.

You've got to keep your eyes peeled for this stuff.

Yes, yeah.

So you can go to everyone within the state of Texas.

Please go to WRM.capital.texas.gov to find your state representative if you don't know who they are.

Right,

WRM.

Yeah, yes.

They should just go to URL.

Yeah, I mean, you could also Google, you know, but WRM.capital.texas.gov to find your state rep.

Now, if you already know who your state rep is, reach out to them, email them, send them a message on social media where everyone can see it publicly.

Call their office.

Make sure that they know that you expect them to vote for the rightful Speaker of the House.

The same person, by the way, who Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and Attorney General Ken Paxton all have unified around him and pointed out and acknowledged this is the rightful winner of the Texas Speaker race.

But I will say this as well, what people can do aside from reaching out, they can, of course, get ready for another primary season because last primary we had unprecedented losses for all of these rhino Republicans.

There were 15 of them that were unseated by someone who was more conservative after the runoff concluded.

So Texas grassroots is not messing around anymore.

They have put these guys on notice that if you want to fight us, we will replace you.

And on top of that, you have the Texas GOP who has put into place a new rule that if you get censured by the party, it's no longer just a sternly worded letter to the manager as it was before.

You know, it's like, oh, well, we're going to censure you and you're going to hear from us in a letter.

This one actually has teeth now, and it can actually lead to the Republican Party removing these members' names from the primary ballot as a Republican candidate.

So it's got these members very, very upset, very uneasy.

One of them, actually, Representative Cody Harris, has filed a criminal complaint with the Texas Ethics Commission because the chairman of the GOP texted him and asked if they could chat before he sends mailers into Cody's district.

So now we have have a rhino who is resorting to Democrat tactics because the party leader says we plan to hold you accountable for what you said you would do.

So we're not playing around anymore here in the state of Texas.

We're going to hold these people to the fire.

And if you don't want to do what you said you were going to do, we'll replace you.

Yeah, and Texas, you have a choice, and every state has a choice.

You see where all of this stuff leads now.

It leads to the fires in California.

Everything that is is happening in California is because of progressive decisions.

They did not prioritize.

They had no common sense.

Everything that is happening was avoidable.

Is it really global warming that causes California to burn down almost every year?

Why are they getting worse?

And they don't ever seem to get better at preventing or stopping the fires.

Now, they're going to let the second largest city in America burn to the ground.

You watch.

You watch.

If they don't get it under control this weekend, Los Angeles is going to be gone.

And that's what your future is.

Texas, I hope we've come as close to death as we ever want to come.

And we're awake enough to say, this has got to end.

We are not fooling around anymore.

We are Texas and the rest of the country.

You are America.

It's time to restore American principles and values and stop the games.

And I will be texting and

tweeting to my representatives in Florida or in Texas, and I hope all Texans will do the same and join me today.

The pressure coming from you, if this is the kind of stuff that's going to have to happen in Washington, you are going to have to be as active as you were during the election because tough, tough decisions are going to have to be made.

And if you don't make it very clear, you're done.

as a servant of the people the next time there is a vote you're done we'll primary you we will work tirelessly and we have a very very long memory if you're not serving the people doing what you said and what the people have voted for, you're out.

You're done.

Sarah, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

God bless.

Thank you, Glenn.

Thank you.

You bet.

All right.

Back in just a second.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

Very soon, we may own Greenland and the Panama Canal.

And he's so imperialist.

He's so imperialist.

He like wears a crown.

Speaking of the crown, maybe we could get some of that imperial butter and Canada, too.

Oh, God.

They're saying about Donald Trump now, imperialist.

No, he's not an imperialist.

He wants to make investments in Greenland that make sense.

Business sense.

Panama?

Since when is it imperialist to say we shouldn't have the Chinese running the Panama Canal?

You know, Sarah Gonzalez was saying just a couple of minutes ago is true, not just in Texas, but all over the country.

And it is one of the things that I think, because we can obviously be critical of the left all day long, and they will deserve it, and we can do that forever.

But it is important to look at yourself at times.

And I think

one thing that the conservative movement does poorly at times is

to be really, really excited about turning a state red and then kind of just washing her hands and walking away.

Hey, the state's red.

That's great.

I like the color red.

And look, the color red often is better than the color blue.

That's true.

But when you have a really bright red state, when you have a Utah or a Texas

or an Oklahoma or Alabama or a Florida, and you have senators, representatives, local state governments that might overt, you know, openly be right, but acting acting like they're either center or center left, we tend to give those people their jobs back over and over and over again.

I mean, John Cornyn in Texas is a great example of this.

He's got a terrible voting record for a Republican.

He has seemingly very few of the priorities of the conservative movement, and then continues to be put back in office for six-year term after six-year term after six-year term.

That's something we can stop.

If you go back and you look at where Utah was years ago before Mike Lee, there's a good example of that.

You know, eventually Mike Lee gets the job and changes the Senate, changes the way

we handle a lot of constitutional issues.

He's been a force.

We can do this.

This is something the conservative movement should be able to do, finding people who can be elected.

You don't want to pick out people who are so quote-unquote pure that they can't win.

You have to find people who can win.

But we can do better than a lot of these terrible representatives, and we need to focus more locally, not just looking at just the president of the United States, though that's obviously very important, but statewide races, local races, find

people who say they're Republicans and conservatives and make sure they actually are.

That is a vital thing to do, and it's something we can actually control.

We can't control necessarily who wins a Senate race in New York or Illinois.

That's really, really hard to get a victory in those states.

It's not nearly as hard to improve from a moderate rhino type of Republican to one that actually knows and can do the job.

Ron DeSantis has done a good job in Florida making sure Florida is like this.

Improve that situation quite a bit.

We can do that in state after state after state, and we should.

By the way, obviously, California having the horrible wildfires is the big story.

We're having wintery weather in the South right now.

And there is a frozen iguana warning in Florida.

If you're in Florida, if it gets cold and you walk under a tree, look out for falling iguanas.

That is real.

It has been issued.

It can happen to you.

Do not get crushed by a frozen iguana this week, please.

Also,

the most important part of the weekend: go birds.

This is Glenn Beck.
