Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to Wednesday.

Yesterday, I had a fascinating hour conversation with Tucker Carlson.

I don't know if you saw it.

If you're a Blaze TV subscriber, you can watch it in its entirety now.

Just go and look for the Glenn Beck podcast.

Tucker Carlson.

Happened live yesterday.

First interview he has done since going back to Russia.

I think I might have

pushed him to, I mean, well, at one point he said, I'm really having a hard time not using the F word with you right now.

But I think it was really important what what we learned yesterday.

And we're going to go there in 60 seconds.

First, I met a lot of people who listened to this program that have lived in debilitating pain.

Their stories are really heartbreaking.

The people who have turned to relief factor have found themselves missing the ability

to sit at home and just lay around in pain.

Yeah, that's right because they've started walking again, shooting a round of golf every now and then, playing with the grandkids on the floor.

Some have turned to medications.

I did.

It will make you foggy.

I don't want to live that way.

You just can't live that way.

You need something natural.

The more pharmaceuticals we put into our body, the worse I think things get.

A daily supplement that is 100% natural is Relief Factor, and it was developed by doctors to relieve inflammation.

It's the inflammation in our body that leads to most of our problems and most of our pain.

See how Relief Factor can help you with a three-week quick start kit.

It's $19.95, comes with Relief Factor's Feel Better or your Money Back Guarantee.

So give it a try.

Visit ReliefFactor.com or call 800, the number 4 Relief.

800, the number 4, Relief.

When you feel the difference, you know it works.

So yesterday,

I think that was an important day for those who are fighting for the Republic.

I have often told you, you, you need to know who is standing by your side.

And most people know that my former Fox News colleague Tucker Carlson went to Russia to interview Putin.

Something that everyone,

every journalist would love to do, but nobody can get an interview.

But he did.

Aha.

Why did he get the interview?

I think it's because he's bro Putin.

The media and the left,

as well as the Lindsey Grahams of the world, gave birth to a whole litter of kittens when it happened.

But those who know and have gone to really get to know Tucker and have grown to trust him as a defender of American ideas and ideals began to question some of the things that happened while he was there.

Now,

I didn't question him,

but it left a

I don't know, a lingering doubt, okay?

The things that he talked about with the grocery stores and the subways, they're clean and nice.

Yeah, I got it.

Now, people pointed to that and said, that's proof Tucker not only loves Putin, but he wants an authoritarian state here so we can have clean subways.

Is that?

What he was saying?

I personally think he's too smart for that.

He knows who Duranty was.

Duranty was a New York Times reporter.

He was a communist, or at least a very big communist sympathizer, who was working for the Times, went to cover Russia, and knowingly helped Stalin cover up the murder of about 8 million Ukrainians.

Little something called the Holodomor.

He wrote lovingly about the clean streets and the subways and how this planned economy and planned state functioned with perfection and everybody loved it.

Tucker knows history.

He's no Duranti.

He loves his country.

So what gives?

What was he saying?

He's not on Putin's side at war or peace, but yet he doesn't seem to condemn him.

What is he advocating?

When he shows us the subways, is he telling us that we need, I don't know, to bring back law and order and we need a strong man to clean up the streets?

Or does he believe the Declaration, the Constitution, and Bill of Rights is the way to fix our country?

I found my answer.

And while it's the latter, there's more.

So let's start with the shopping carts and the subways and the state.

How great they were.

Cut one.

Let me now go to some of the criticism of you that, you know, Jon Stewart just did a piece.

I don't know if you've seen it on you,

but

yeah, I never watched the meeting.

I know.

So, you know, you went in, you said Moscow is clean.

The subways are wonderful.

Look at the chandeliers.

Well, you, I know you, Tucker.

You're smart enough to know who built those to look like that and why.

And Duranty went over.

I said it in the piece.

So Walter Duranty denied the existence.

He was a New York Times correspondent in Russia in the 30s.

He denied, of course, the Ukrainian

whole damn war, which was

Stalin.

That's exactly right.

And he denied that the show trials of 1937, 38, that the terror was happening.

So

those were lies.

Okay, he told lies, and that's why his surprise was pulled from him posthumously.

I told the truth in order to shame our leaders.

That subway station I showed was built by Stalin in 1939.

Joseph Stalin, probably the worst person in human history.

That was over 80 years ago, and it's still in perfect shape.

Okay, that's the point.

Look at what Moscow has and compare it to what we have.

And you have to ask yourself, like, no, this is an indictment of our leaders.

And I would recommend to every single one of your viewers and listeners, if you can, go spend a week in Moscow.

Not because you love Russia, but because you love your own country.

And compare that city, the largest city in Europe, 13 million people, compare it to the city that you live in or the city near you, which is in better shape.

So actually, it's an indictment.

It's a radicalizing indictment of our rapidly declining standard of living and the horrible mismanagement of our leaders.

Why don't we have a subway like that?

Okay, any American city?

Single American city with no crime.

Like, what is this?

So I went on to talk to him about this and I said, well, wait.

I mean, that's because a dictator.

There's no drug problem in China because you can just execute them on the spot right so what are you saying

and again he reiterated I'm showing those things because I think Americans should be pissed off that this country which we're told is on the brink of collapse

it's still together What's our excuse?

Why is it not together here?

And he was saying, I want to shame our politicians and wake the American people up, saying, we used to have clean streets.

We didn't need a dictator.

We did it because it was the right thing to do.

And we didn't have leadership that was leading us down this path of more and more chaos and drugs and crime and decay.

So did you get the sense?

Because like, The reason Russia has that and has been able to maintain it for 80 years, right?

Is because they have certain policies they've implemented.

You mentioned, obviously, the crime part of this, right?

They are very, they're very difficult on people who break their rules.

But also, like, another part of that policy is

centralized government spending money on, prioritizing spending on government institutions to make them pretty.

Yes.

And secondarily, making sure, focusing money on cities where foreigners come to visit, as opposed to rural areas where they let people

ask for those policies, obviously.

He believes we've already had that.

He was saying we had gleaming cities.

We had beautiful cities.

We still do.

But he went in to talk about how now you've got a gigantic homeless village in front of Union Station, which is one of the most beautiful train stations in the country.

And it's right across the street from the Capitol.

He's like, that's not money.

So

that's policy.

And it's a question driving this.

It's maybe even more than that, priorities, right?

Like, because we certainly, if we're building turtle tunnels, right, we certainly have the money

to be able to maintain these buildings.

We're choosing other priorities.

Is that sort of his?

His thing is we're not choosing.

The people aren't choosing them.

The government.

The government.

The government and the, you know, whatever you call this ruling class, they are actively trying to destroy our cities and our country by saying, don't enforce crime.

Let drugs prevail.

Let people out on bail that are violent.

Let them do whatever they want.

Don't question.

And so it's not necessarily a praising of Russia.

It's a criticism of our position of our policies, of not even our policies.

Our politicians who are intentionally destroying our nation.

He's like, it it doesn't have to be this way.

And we all know it.

And we all have to get pissed off about it to stand up and say enough is enough.

Okay.

So I pushed him on this hard.

I mean, you listened to it, right?

Yep.

Pushed him hard on this because I wanted to know.

I think it's important to be very clear on what we are advocating because everybody will make you

will put words into your mouth.

and It's important on some subjects because there are those who love America and love the Lord that are currently being called Christian nationalists and that's not who they are

but there are Christian nationalists that are advocating things and it is important to understand are you this or are you that If you're looking to get the church directly involved in the state and the government to rule, then that is un-American.

That's Christian nationalism.

However, if you believe our values come from the teachings of the Bible and you refuse to check those values at the door of your public office,

why?

Why would you do that?

Every day I walk through the door, I'm just as much Christian on the outside of this door as I am on the inside of this studio.

I don't check my values because it makes me who I am.

I don't, I, you know, you just don't want some Christian tyrant as the CEO.

I don't want him coming in here saying, you need to talk about Jesus some more.

I don't want that.

And I certainly don't want that in a government.

The problem is the hour is growing late.

And we have to reconnect with the truth quickly and with what we learned as kids, Christ-like love, forgiveness,

and then the backbone to say, crucify me.

I don't care.

This is true.

That's what, that's what I think he is saying.

That's what I'm saying.

And I think that's what he's saying.

Without a strong moral code of ethics and decency and fact-based truth, you have no civilization to fight for.

That's clear.

I want to give you one more question before the break.

So I asked him, I pushed him and pushed him.

And he said, I, you know, I'm really having a hard time not using the F word here.

And I finally got

to a place to where I think I understood what he was saying, but I just wanted to be clear.

And if you happen to be watching The Blaze, watch his reaction because it's 100%

genuine.

Watch.

Where the sticking point is in America right now is there's a lot of people on the right and the left that are both saying, screw the Constitution.

We need a radicalized leader.

When you look at Orban, I think Orban is great for his country.

That's not our system.

I think

Moscow might be great, love to visit.

That's not our system.

So I think, and I believe

you've already said this, but I want to make sure it's very clear on the record.

The only path forward for America is through the Declaration of Independence, the the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution.

Correct?

Of course.

And by the way, I should just be very, very clear.

If I was, I'm like the one person on the planet.

You don't need to guess about my motives.

I'll just say them.

And if I was advocating for a different form of government or for authoritarianism, for a strong man, I would just say so.

I would have no shame in saying that because I really believe that it's within my rights to say what I think.

I've been called a racist.

If I was racist, I would would just say it.

I would just say it.

But I'm not.

And I'm not advocating for that.

I'm advocating to a return to America of, say, 1993.

How radical?

Is that really radical?

No, I don't think that's very radical.

In fact, I think we should be demanding it.

And if there's one thing that I will fault Americans for, it's low expectations.

You should not put up with this.

You should not allow them.

The governor of Texas should not allow millions of people to cross his border.

And I don't want to hear.

you know, the excuses.

And I don't want to hear the excuses for why it's okay to have tens of thousands of people dying on the street or sleeping on the sidewalk in tents handed to them by the Episcopal Church forever.

Like, that's not acceptable.

It's not okay for my kids to use drugs at the breakfast table.

I'm not going to have a debate about it.

No, is the answer.

I'm within my rights as a father to say that.

The U.S.

government is within its statutory rights as a government to say that.

We don't need more laws.

We have the laws.

They're not being enforced on purpose.

And to your point, why?

And of course, the reason is because people will lose faith in liberal democracy and they will welcome a strong man and that's exactly what this is about is the left and not just the left i would say that the quizzling right um on capitol hill for whom i just have boundless contempt they're in on this as well yes people are just going to give up they're not going to vote that you they're going to steal the elections just as they stole the last one which they did sorry and they're going to steal the next one and people are just being like you know what i don't even care i just totally give up this is crazy just just get get the bums off my street Some guy just exposed himself to my daughter.

My nephew just died of a fentanyl OD.

Make it stop.

Make it stop.

You can have all the power you want.

That is absolutely what they're going for.

And I don't want that.

I want to live in the country we lived in in 1993 or 1985, not ancient history.

Post-Civil Rights Act.

We can do that.

Let's do it right now.

That's my point.

I don't think you could be any more clear on that.

Now, let me follow up in 60 seconds.

If you haven't taken a look at what My Pillow has going on lately, you might want to just take a couple of minutes and check out their website.

I've come across one of their products that, you know,

So what is he, what was he saying there towards the end?

What was he saying?

He was saying it doesn't need to be this way, and I'm tired of all of the excuses.

And you're going to just get so frustrated that you're just going to say, whatever, just whatever.

The New York Times reported yesterday, I think it was, maybe the day before, in a story that I had in my daily show prep, but we never had a chance to talk about it, the frustration level of the emergency calls

to the left, that people who voted for Biden are finding themselves just tired.

They're tired of, he's Hitler, he's Hitler, he's Hitler, he's Hitler,

and everything being a crisis and an emergency, and they're worn out.

Now, I think we've gone through this before.

However, we've had some victories.

We also still really love our country, and most of us aren't willing just to sit back and watch it go away.

They're tired.

What happens when

a community or a civilization is tired and everything is a crisis, which it's about to be?

I'm going to show you this next hour.

It'll blow your mind.

What happens?

Exactly what he said.

People just say, fine, just, I just make it stop.

Make it stop.

Somebody make it stop.

Wait a minute.

If you ever watched my show when I was at Fox or you listened to me on the the radio or you've been following me on Blaze,

you know there's two strategies being employed right now.

And one of them ends in just make it stop.

Tonight, I'm going to go back over Cloward and Piven

and top-down, bottom-up, and inside out.

What happened to Czechoslovakia and why did it happen?

It's exactly what's happening right now.

By the way, Clowerd and Piven said, You know, I'm just an old lady.

Piven comes out, and she used to say to me all the time on Twitter, Oh, I'm just an old lady.

He's saying that I'm teaching all these crazy things.

Well, guess who's back at the blackboard?

Piven.

What is she teaching?

Overwhelm the system to the point of collapse.

Sololinsky,

Cloward and Piven, Pivin, and the Communist Plan for Czechoslovakia.

You'll recognize it, and it will really solidify in your...

It's no longer, this is what they're doing.

You know, watch, watch, because when you start to see the signs, it's all here.

It's all here, and it's almost in the end phase.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Yesterday, and it's available now for Blaze TV subscribers in its entirety, Tucker Carlson and I had a conversation on the Glen Beck podcast.

This week, it's Tucker Carlson.

Just as he just came back, got off the plane, stepped into his studio and sat down with me and

talked about Russia.

It's a fascinating experience, and it was a really interesting interview, especially because

I left it like having a lot of my questions answered about what he was trying to do there, but also I still have more questions, and it was just engaging on that beyond.

Different questions or the same questions?

Different, I think.

It opened up some other, because it's interesting to see the way he thinks.

You had an interesting, maybe we can get to this at another point, but you had an interesting exchange with him about

being able to capture the voice of the working class.

This guy, Tucker Carlson, who, as he admits, is the least working class guy of all time.

Yeah, he was born, he was born into money, lots of money, born into the press, born into Washington, D.C.

His father was part of, I think he was, I think he had had some spy connections,

but he also, you know, ran an agency for a long time.

So he is the elite.

And yet somehow or another,

he's defending the little guy.

And I asked him about it and he said, no, I'm, I'm, no, I'm, I despise the elite because I grew up around them.

I know them.

I know who they are.

I know how they think.

And I despise them.

Yeah.

Well, he He was like, it's not that I connect with the working man.

I just despise the people I know.

Yes.

It was that type of answer.

That was interesting.

A fascinating part of this that I think probably hit you out of nowhere as much as it hit me out of nowhere was this Boris Johnson thing.

Boris Johnson wanted him to pay him a million dollars for an interview.

This is wild.

This just happened.

I think it was.

He's a day or two before.

Yeah.

No, yesterday.

He said, this just happened to me yesterday or today.

So it was really breaking news.

Listen to what he said.

You know, Boris Johnson has come out against Tucker because Tucker has been saying, look, I have several sources that say you talked Ukraine into no peace deal and we went to war.

And Boris Johnson is, you know, calling him names.

Listen to what Tucker said.

So I'm over in Moscow.

I'm waiting to do this interview.

It gets out that we're doing it.

And I'm immediately denounced by this guy called Boris Johnson, who was for a short time the prime minister of Great Britain and Boris Johnson calls me a tool of the Kremlin or something and I'm thinking well that's kind of I mean his name's not actually Boris as I'm sure you know his name is Alex Johnson and he called himself Boris in high school so the guy who calls himself Boris is accusing me

I was like so I was annoyed so I put in a request for an interview with Boris Johnson as I have many times because he's constantly denouncing me as a tool of the Kremlin he says no so I'm thinking about getting more annoyed so I know a lot of people who know Boris Johnson so I reach out to them finally one of his advisors gets back to me and and says, he will talk to you, but it's going to cost you a million dollars.

He wants a million dollars

in U.S.

dollars, gold or Bitcoin.

No, this just happened yesterday or two days ago.

And I'm like, he wants a million dollars.

Yeah.

And then he will talk to you about Ukraine.

He will explain his position on Ukraine and explain what...

So he attacks me.

Without explaining how I'm wrong, of course, or how he's right.

This is, by the way, the guy who single-handedly, at the request of the U.S.

government, stopped the peace deal in Ukraine a year and a half ago and is, I think, for that reason, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

He won't explain any of that to me in an interview until I pay him a million dollars.

And I said to the guy, you know, I just interviewed Vladimir Putin.

I'm not defending Putin, but Putin didn't ask for a million dollars.

So you're telling me that Boris Johnson is a lot sleazier, a lot lower than Vladimir Putin.

Okay.

Which is true.

Yeah.

So this whole thing is a freaking shakedown.

Why $60 billion?

I mean, I could get boring on this because I've learned a lot about it.

But $60 billion is not going to allow Ukraine to prevail over Russia.

No honest person thinks that's going to work.

This is a money laundering operation.

A lot of the people involved in it are making money from it.

And if you're making money off a war, you know, you can deal with God on that because that's really.

immoral.

Like that's actually really, really wrong.

So a lot of people are, including Boris Johnson.

So the other thing that I brought up with him, and this is critical for you to understand, and all of this plays into tonight's broadcast with me on TV,

you will really understand if you start to put things together that seem

unconnected.

They're not.

Almost everything that is happening right now on the global scale and in our country are connected.

It's not random.

It's not random.

It's not like, hey, they're doing striptees dances in the kindergarten with drag queens.

That is connected to everything else that is going on.

Okay.

And so

when he was trying to put this together,

he ran into some trouble the first time.

And he said, nobody seemed to care.

Listen to Tucker talking about how the Putin interview actually happened.

You had

a tough time the first time you tried to

interview Putin.

The NSA was involved.

Yeah, they read my text messages and leaked them to the New York Times.

How do you know?

I'm not guessing, but...

Okay, how do you know?

Well, because someone who worked there warned me through a very close, very close friend of mine.

And I won't bore you with the whole details, but I flew up to Washington to meet this person at his request.

I couldn't believe this.

It scared me.

I immediately called a U.S.

senator.

I don't know very many U.S.

senators well, but there's one I thought seemed kind of trustworthy.

So I said, I just want to get this on the record.

This has happened.

And then members of Congress went to NSA and they admitted that they had read my email.

And so I wasn't,

and I went on TV and described the whole thing.

And I thought there would be widespread out of it.

I am.

I thought people would be like, outraged.

You can't, you can't use a spy agency that we pay for, whose job is to monitor our enemies, our rivals in other countries.

You can't use that against the American population.

And no one seemed to care.

But I cared because I grew up around the U.S.

government.

My dad ran a federal agency in Washington.

So I sort of knew what the rules were, and I had a really

strong sense of how much this had changed.

Like, this was not allowed 30 years ago.

It was an outrage.

It's a crime.

But no one seems to be bothered by it.

But I am bothered by it.

So I am too.

And I think every citizen should be, especially journalists.

You know, when you have freedom of speech, freedom of press, there's two rights that are going away here.

And nobody seemed to care.

But how, so then what happened the second time?

How did you arrange this?

Well,

I just kept trying.

You know, I kept, actually, I did it myself with, you know, texting.

And I thought, and I talked to a bunch of different people.

After that happened to me,

I really tried to learn more about...

privacy and how can you communicate outside the view of state actors, governments.

And you can't if you're doing electronically.

That is what I arrived at.

And I think any non-run person would admit that.

There's no privacy, which itself is very distressing, but I just decided I would do it anyway.

And I enlisted some non-Russians I knew who I thought might be able to vouch for me, et cetera.

And it took a couple of years.

And ultimately, they said, yes, we will do this.

But if...

If news of this interview gets out, we're canceling the interview.

Wow.

So I started to get...

So this is the best part I got calls I got a call from a New York Times reporter and then a friend of mine got a call from another New York Times reporter asking when I was interviewing Putin

and there's no way they could have known that I didn't tell anybody you know my wife my producers not even my kids I didn't tell anybody one of my children was highly annoyed to learn I was in Moscow why didn't you tell me I said because I didn't want to text it you know

but no I they clearly did it again they leaked it to the New York Times in an effort to scuttle the internet

and I just again I hate to be you you know, Mr.

Stubborn Principle guy, but that is a principle worth defending.

I'm an American citizen.

I have not committed a crime.

I can speak to anyone I want.

I can have any opinion I want.

And you're not allowed to use your creepy spy agencies against me because I'm your boss.

This is a democracy.

Aren't you always telling me that?

But again, nobody cares, so I'm going to stop the lecture on that.

But it did motivate me.

to keep going.

But my real motivation was like, I just want to know what's happening there.

We're in a war with Russia.

We've never had a vote in Congress on whether we should be in a war with Russia.

No one's ever explained to me why we should be at war with Russia, why I'm supposed to hate Russians, why I'm supposed to hate Russians.

We've got an awful lot of things going on here.

The country is in very tough shape, especially right now.

It's completely out of money.

We're bankrupt.

And so it does seem like we should have more information before we send another $60 billion that we don't keep track of to Ukraine.

I mean, that just...

I have very straightforward motives, which I've explained many times, but nothing crazy or out of the ordinary or esoteric or anything like that.

Just like, what is this?

Let's find out more.

So when he was talking about the NSA actually hacking into his email and reading his text messages and his emails, no one really did seem to care.

Not one.

No mainstream media journalist jumped on a bandwagon and said, look, I disagree with everything he says, but this has got to stop.

Nobody did.

Nobody.

Now, these are the people that screamed and cried every time Trump said anything like, you know, maybe

I shouldn't give you access to the White House.

Okay?

They screamed and cried, you can't do that.

Technically, he actually can.

It's the White House press credential, so he can do that.

Is it right?

No.

I didn't like it when he did it.

But when it came to freedom of speech, he would be like, maybe we close you down.

He doesn't mean that.

He is just beating his chest.

That's not he never attempted to do it.

And the, and the press went crazy and they put this, you know,

this

declaration out there on the rights of the press and everything else.

I actually signed it.

They didn't want me to sign it, but I signed it.

I think it's important that journalists and people in the media actually stand for the rights.

of even the people we disagree with.

Otherwise, freedom of press and freedom of speech means nothing.

This is an American issue.

This isn't a political issue.

This isn't about Donald Trump or Joe Biden.

I stand against either of them that try to do that.

But on the mere saying that I was going to do that, they went crazy.

When they actually did it, remember, Biden did this, I mean, Obama did this with James Rosen.

Remember that?

They didn't care then either.

Their beloved sanctity of the press, but as long as they disagree, they don't care.

This is why you have to just disconnect from those people.

You just have to disconnect.

If you don't care universally, then you don't care.

I care about curing cancer.

Well, not in that guy.

Then you don't care about curing cancer.

I believe in freedom of speech.

I mean, not for him and him or her.

And I'm kind of iffy on that one because I'm not sure they agree with me.

Then you don't believe in freedom of speech.

There are things in life that are black and white.

And that's what we have to fight for.

We have to fight for things, not against.

Fight for things.

Freedom of speech, absolute.

It's absolute.

Freedom of the press, absolute.

I don't care if it's Diane Sawyer that wants to go over Putin.

She can go over and meet with Putin.

If it's Tucker Carlson, he can do the same.

Even if it's Duranty,

he can do the same.

Even if he comes back and lies, he can do the same.

It's my responsibility to do enough homework to go, that's a lie.

That's what we tried to do with the Tucker Carlson interview.

For anybody who had any question at all, I wanted to to know the answer.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

So a very significant political event happened in Ukraine earlier this month.

Nobody noticed.

Vladimir Zelensky, the leader of Ukraine, war-torn,

just received approval from his parliament to extend martial law another 90 days.

Now, they keep extending this.

It's a wartime mandate.

But this one carried out special significance because the 2024 presidential election in Ukraine was scheduled for March 31st.

That's the end of his five-year term.

But now that martial law is in place and it covers that time period, they've canceled the election.

I thought that's what we were fighting for.

Isn't that why we were helping?

Because they have a democracy?

Yeah, well, I mean, you postpone the election.

I mean, the war.

Okay, all right.

Well,

let's look into this.

November, a former Zelensky advisor announced that he's going to be challenging Zelensky for the presidency, and he was going to focus on a negotiated settlement to end the war with Russia.

He was fiercely critical of Zelensky's approach in the conflict, maintaining settlement was in the best interest of the Ukrainians.

He's not a Moscow shill.

The government, Russian government, has an active arrest warrant out for this guy.

Yet days after the announcement, Ukraine's national police force, under the direction of the Zelensky government, launched a criminal investigation against his opponent.

Does this sound familiar?

Furthermore, over the course of the devastating war, the Ukrainian government has continually centralized power.

There's no trace of representative democracy existing in the country right now.

They have only the approved media sites, all state media.

Everybody else has been banned from the airwaves.

I don't know.

This looks like a dictatorship.

Let me talk to you again about Jace Medical, our sponsor for the Blaze TV.

Stage is set for massive shortages of really important goods and services around the world.

You're already seeing it in things like medicine.

Did you, have you ever, ever had a hard time getting Augmentin?

I mean, I think that was invented

in my lifetime.

It was something that was really easy to get, always.

You go down, try to get Augmentin.

Many times you'll be told, we have a shortage of it, you can't get it.

That's crazy.

Jace Medical can make sure that you have the life-saving essential antibiotics, five of them, and in your home so you don't have to worry if there's a shortage.

But they also go a step further.

If you would like to have all of the life-saving medications that you might be taking for blood pressure or heart or,

you know, anti-seizure, whatever it is,

you'll go to jacemedical.com.

We gotta stay together

if we're gonna survive.

Stand

straight

and hold the light.

It's a new day, I tell you right.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You know, every day we talk about things that I never thought I'd talk about.

I never thought that would be something I had to discuss or think about.

Now, Sarah, our board op, is from Philadelphia.

And I just want to check with you because maybe this is normal in Philadelphia.

Let me show you what happened yesterday,

Cut 15, Philadelphia.

That is a a horse galloping down the interstate.

Interstate 76.

Just all by itself, no saddle, just a horse galloping down the freeway.

Is that a normal thing in Philadelphia, Sarah?

I wouldn't be surprised.

I wouldn't be surprised.

Okay, all right.

I've never seen that before.

Have you ever seen that before?

No, I drove down that road many times when we lived there.

No, never saw that.

I haven't seen that anywhere.

I mean, I live in a place where, honest to God, there's a rancher who has a buffalo ranch, and buffalo can just walk through, you know, the barbed wire.

They just, it's on their face, and they're like, uh-hunker, and they just keep walking.

And once in a while, the town will have to call and say, Your buffalo is in the middle of the street.

And they'll say, I know, well,

he'll come back home.

That's how you do.

Okay, so I understand that.

I've never seen a horse galloping down the freeway before.

Hello, something

just isn't right.

You know how many problems we face in this country and they could all be solved overnight if we just use some common sense.

You know every now and then.

Just, you know what I, you know,

no, that doesn't sound like a good idea.

We shouldn't do that.

Unfortunately, our government seems to love chaos and that's why companies like My Patriot Supply are so important.

My Patriot Supply has helped millions of American families prepare for whatever might might come their way.

And many of them start with a four-week emergency food kit.

16 food and drink varieties.

So you're not going to get bored with a selection.

I mean, honestly, if there's no food and horses are running down the highway,

I mean, I don't think I'm going to get bored of the...

I don't know.

Didn't we just have this yesterday?

Horses are running down the highway.

Eat your freaking food and shut your mouth.

Maybe that's just in my home.

Stock up now with all of the food kits your family needs at mypatriotsupply.com.

Horses could be running down the highways.

Mypatriotsupply.com.

That's mypatriotsupply.com.

Play that again for me.

I saw this last night and I thought, can you play it?

There it is.

Yeah.

Now that's somebody

with their phone outside of their window on the driver's side just going i i can't

i am i seeing this i have to film this because i don't think anybody's ever seen that before keeping up nicely with the traffic though those are quick animals yeah i mean that was like i think that was an expensive horse well it was i mean it's that close to philadelphia

you know you don't keep one in a you know a walk-up you know apartment you know that would be a strange choice it would be a strange choice uh so i would but again you you also don't keep it on the highway.

So who knows what's going on?

Right, right.

I mean, how did they find the on-ramp?

You know, it's a horse.

How did he find the on-ramp?

Really fascinating.

I don't know.

There's a lot of questions on that one, but I don't think we're going to get to them.

Now,

let me show you some of the other things and let's see if you can tie together what I'm driving at.

Okay, there is a method to the madness on the things I'm going to show you.

These are things I just saw last night.

This isn't like, yeah, well, I saw this a month ago and I've been safe.

These are things that I spent 20 minutes just scrolling going, well, that one, that one, that one.

Okay, so let's start with cut 12, please.

For all the New Yorkers in New York City, please pay attention to what I'm about to say.

I now this morning got a list from my controller to tell us the tax annual assessments and values.

This happens every January to February.

I got mine just on a few of our properties.

Just a few of them.

Every single one of them are going up.

Some of them are going up from 10 to 15 percent all the way up to 60, 75 percent.

You have no clue what this means to this industry.

You have no clue what this means to every average New Yorker.

Everybody in New York City is affected because I have stores here, supermarkets here that they're going to go up $12,000 to $14,000.

I got small three-family buildings in Red Oak going up $9,000.

Increase on top of the $30,000 that I'm paying.

That's crazy.

That's crazy.

Okay.

So everybody's paying a lot more.

Wow, that's weird.

Cut 13.

This is one about the hotels in New York.

Here is the Roe Hotel.

This is one of the five hotels that has been transformed into a shelter.

We're going to walk in there and see what kind of operation they are running inside.

This is a really nice hotel.

How's it going?

Oh yeah, we were just checking out the hotel.

Oh, the hotel is closed actually.

Oh, hotel is closed.

It's closed.

There's a ton of people in here right now.

Yeah, because it's a shelter.

Oh, you guys can.

Not a hotel.

It's a shelter for the migrants going in.

Yeah, yeah.

It's no longer open to the public.

It's closed to the public.

How many floors is it?

30.

30 floors.

30.

Is it full?

Yeah.

You guys aren't allowed to talk about it?

Why is it like such a big secret, do you think?

I don't know.

We just follow orders.

When hotels such as the Roe Hotel close until further notice, they sign the contract with an outside source saying that they will pay the rent in order for them to house the migrants.

And the hotels love it because it is guaranteed money every single night.

And at a rate of $200 per night at the Roe Hotel, and with 1,331 rooms, that is $260,000 a day, $1.8 million a week, and $7.2 million a month.

And all that money is going to be a good thing.

$7.2 million a month

for one hotel.

One

hotel.

Who's writing that check again?

And that kind of important.

Who's writing that check?

One month, $7.2 million.

Oh, that makes me understand

the other guy who's like, look at our assessment on our buildings.

Bada bing!

Up 75% tax!

Bada bing!

Okay, all right.

So, can we just play the horse running down just because I need to?

Oh, there he is, running down.

Uh,

Now let me show you.

Can we take cut six, please?

The city of Buffalo and some of those first ring suburban areas

are having double-digit car thefts in a week, sometimes in a day.

People are stealing cars at a record rate.

There's no consequences, accountability, repercussions.

And there's a problem, CNN says, with homelessness.

Cut seven, please.

The number of people experiencing homelessness in a single night went up 12% in the United States in 2023, in part because COVID programs preventing evictions and housing losses came to an end.

Wow.

A quarter of those people were unhoused for the first time in their lives.

How many people fell into homelessness during COVID?

Before COVID, there were probably about 20 or 30,000 people.

Now it's 46,000.

Here is, is

here, I think this is Curtis Sleewa just standing on Third Avenue, which when I lived in New York,

you can't stand in the middle of the street.

Here he is on Third Avenue.

This is something you'll never see in the middle of a day.

Third Avenue in New York City.

This is the future when everybody leaves and heads to Florida.

They're on their way to Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina.

Look, there's nobody back there because they've all fled the city and it will be a city only of criminals, homeless, emotionally disturbed, and migrants.

I am no stradamus.

I see what's coming in 2024.

Vast sea of emptiness.

Well, that's good.

That's good.

So let's see.

We have

too many migrants coming in.

More migrants.

The collection of migrants that have been added to our our country in the last three and a half years equal the population of 38 states in America.

Equal or above the population of 38.

We only have 50 states.

I just want you to know that.

We only have 50.

38 of them are now smaller than the people we have let in.

That's in, I mean, I just, hmm, that's interesting.

And then we have some really, really, I mean, we have some real problems.

And I'm glad that we're dealing.

What are we focused on?

Go ahead.

The woman who runs the bullying internet account, Libs of TikTok, was given a spot on the Oklahoma Library Board, the statewide board.

She is not from.

Now, can I just stop for a second?

This is a man in a dress

who clearly has, I mean, maybe it's his first day with a makeup.

I don't like it.

I don't.

I don't.

I think it's a little, and you might want to shave just a little bit.

And the low-cut, you know, dress there is nice, but again, maybe you could shave just a little.

Anyway, this guy is having a serious conversation

about what's acceptable in libraries.

And people are just watching it going, well, he's making a good point.

He's not.

How?

Play the damn horse running down the.

How about this one?

Cut 17.

I'm so glad someone's finally asking this question.

My problem is that I'm too hot, too successful in my career.

I make too much money.

I have too many amazing friends and family, too many cute clothes.

Do you know how hard it is to choose an outfit each day i also have so many amazing and hot people sliding into my dms every day again it's a it's a man with boobs it's a woman with a beard i i i don't i have

i don't know you've never had to deal with problems like that that you're too hot people always slipping into your dms you know

this person has to deal with that every day every day you know how hard it is to pick out a you know set of clothes every day no i have no idea i wear the same clothes i've been wearing them since the third grade What the hell is wrong with you?

I swear to you.

I mean, this story

makes more sense than any other story I've seen today.

Oh, wow.

Look, a horse running down the highway in Philadelphia.

When that becomes like, eh.

That is the most sensible story we've talked about in this segment.

It is.

It is.

Sometimes horses run down the highway.

Now, I would just like to point out, and maybe I've been in a coma, so I don't remember it, but sometimes you wouldn't remember a coma.

And you're all being nice to me, and you're like, don't say anything to him.

Just he's forgotten that he's been in a coma for 400 years.

And we were in, I don't know, some cryo freezer.

I don't know how this happened, but maybe I've been in a coma.

But from where I'm sitting, none of this is normal.

May we just all take a moment and go,

none of this is normal.

This is not the way a civilization

behaves.

Am I alone on this?

I don't.

I mean, apparently so.

Apparently so

apparently so.

By the way, the horse is okay.

The horse is.

Yeah, horse is okay.

That would be the thing out of this monologue.

That is what somebody, you know, would.

Well, what happened to the horse?

It's those damn cars and that's SUVs.

I don't know what they're doing there.

They're killing the planet.

Have you heard about the big umbrella that we want to put in space?

Don't put big umbrellas in space.

Are you out of your minds?

Oh, man.

I just, if I was in a coma,

I want the doctors to know, put me back into the coma, please.

Now let's talk about relief factor sleep.

Maybe I could take enough of those to go into a coma.

I don't think so.

Oh, it's all natural, so no, it won't do anything bad.

It'll just, you know, relax you.

Maybe I need some now.

You will not feel it in your system.

It's all natural, but just like regular relief factor, you take it.

When you take relief factor for pain,

it starts to work in your body and you don't feel it like a drug.

It's the same thing with the sleep from Relief Factor Sleep.

You take it when you want to go to sleep, and I'm telling you, it relaxes you.

You can actually shut your mind off from going, it was a horse in the street.

So unleash the power of great sleep because, boy, I needed it last night.

Call 800, the number 4, relief, 800, the number 4, relief, or go to relieffactor.com.

Dream big and sleep tight.

10 seconds, station ID.

Okay.

Don't keep doing it.

Don't keep doing it.

It's not good.

The horse is okay with a bucket of water, Glenn.

They got a nice bucket of water.

Did they?

The horse.

And I say they because I don't know the gender of the horse.

Now it makes me think you didn't actually look up what happened to the horse and so something tragic probably happened to the horse.

Literally immediately googled it when you played it and they the horse is okay.

Been captured.

It's okay.

It's back.

Everything's fine until they decide to probably eat it in two weeks.

Yeah, don't please do not.

Well, it'll happen.

I mean, you'll be eating horse.

Would you prefer horse or cricket?

What's your what's your choice?

Your protein of choice for a horse.

I feel bad,

but at least I don't want to squish horses under my foot.

You know what I mean?

It's like I never have seen a horse and went, man, I'd like to stomp that to death.

No.

Never, never have.

I hope not.

Never have.

No.

So it'll be harder for me to kill the horse than the cricket.

But once I've seen, you know, you show me a good steak.

Yes, it's from a horse.

You don't need to tell me that.

You don't need to tell me that.

But if

you scrape something off of my window and then toast it,

you don't have to tell me that's a bug.

And I'm not eating that.

So I go with a horse every time.

Wow.

Well, you know what's weird?

Again, never thought we'd have that conversation.

Other than complete comedy, but who knows?

Horses are running on the highway.

That could be a.

Nope.

All right.

Denver schools facing an unprecedented challenge with an influx of migrant students.

The district said they need an additional $837,000 to support additional needs across the system.

Denver's public school system has been taking the hit with as many as 250 new students a week since the new year.

Well, what are they going to do?

Well,

just pay the additional $837,000.

Okay.

Amazon, a New York City Amazon driver, Said the cops arrested me

after I defended myself from a pervert migrant running at me trying to steal my van.

I'm the one that was arrested.

Just a reminder, this is not parody

and this is not normal.

How about this one?

Male

steals hundreds in cash.

Now, my first thing is, I don't know how to define a male.

What does that mean?

Male?

It's spelled M-A-L-E, but that's an old tiny word.

What does that even mean?

Well, this male stole hundreds in cash from Girl Scout Cookie Stand.

We're talking about little girls here.

I don't know what this story means, because what's a little girl?

And they're innocent.

Why?

Why are girls innocent?

Little cooks stealing cookies from little girls.

Why is that bad?

And we don't know.

It was just a male.

Do we know how was he raised?

Where was he raised?

What problems did he have in his life?

I mean, he might have been really hurting inside.

He could have thought he was a giraffe.

And nobody's gonna...

Nobody's gonna say bad things about a giraffe that takes some Girl Scout cookies.

Who's gonna say, that giraffe has gotta be in jail?

He felt he was a giraffe on the inside, waiting to come out.

And then the police,

they trap and then handcuff.

He needs all four feet.

He's a giraffe.

They handcuff him, they throw him in jail.

It's like a zoo for this poor giraffe.

How about this one?

I remember the days.

I remember the days when

I used to say back in the day,

two years ago

that someday

our interest on our national debt will exceed our defense budget.

That'll never happen.

Yeah, but if it does, what do we do?

Well, then we'll recognize how much trouble we're really in.

Pressure is building on the House.

Speaker Johnson hold a vote on the Senate-passed foreign aid bill that includes $61 billion for Ukraine.

Interest on the U.S.

national debt now is expected to exceed the entire defense budget of $822 billion for the fiscal year 2024, as Republican leaders in the House of Representatives weigh spending another $95 billion on foreign aid.

Think of that.

Our entire defense budget is $822 billion.

We've sent over about $200 billion already to Ukraine.

I don't know

that a good idea

All right, let me tell you about American financing.

You know what doesn't happen in their office?

Horses.

Never in their office has a horse been typing at the time.

Not happen.

Not happen.

They're a little more common sense than that.

They think even if you think you're a horse, maybe you shouldn't be here and making loans.

They don't charge you any upfront fees.

It's the exact opposite of Congress.

They're like, hey, you know what?

We're going to call this the greatest loan ever given to anybody and then load it up with a bunch of crap that will cripple you.

They don't do that.

I know.

Refreshing, isn't it?

American financing.

If you are trapped behind a mountain of debt, they can probably help you.

They've helped so many people just in this audience save $800 and what, $26 on average every month.

It was a horse

on the highway.

Again,

not normal,

as are many things that I'm telling you about today.

Not something in America that we have seen.

Well, the horse, maybe since, I'm not sure, the highway system was first introduced.

Maybe, maybe.

All right, so I was talking to you about the interest on the national debt.

It is now going to exceed the entire defense budget of $822 billion for fiscal year 2024.

Now, I'd like to say something about this

beyond

that's not

normal

and not good.

I think you get that.

But I would just like to point out, the entire defense budget is $822 billion.

$822 billion.

Now,

you might say that's too much.

You might be right.

But you know, with that $822 billion,

there's these, what are they, the F-22s or the F-24s or the F-something.

I know F is in it.

But, you know, they're amazing planes.

Amazing planes.

Doing things no plane has ever done before.

There are these things called aircraft carriers.

They're enormous.

A horse may not make it all the way.

from one end to the other.

Okay, all right.

That's what we get for 800, the largest, most powerful military in the history of man.

Okay.

So when we just gave out $6 trillion

in the last, what did we get?

I'm just, did we, does anybody have a new plane?

Do we have a new plane?

Do we, do we, what do we have?

What do we have?

Besides absolute chaos on our streets,

inflation everywhere, the grocery store,

your real wages going down by $1,000.

What did we get?

Can you give me something tangible?

Even if it's just a waste, like, yeah, we built a,

you know, we had the Statue of Liberty.

We thought we could build a statue of slavery just to remind, you know, slavery's bad.

We built it off the coast of Portland.

Not Not Maine.

That would be crazy.

Portland, Oregon.

All right, show it to me.

At least I'd say, wow, that's, I mean, I wouldn't have ever, but okay.

Can you show me the receipt?

What did we get?

Over six

times

the money that we spend at the Pentagon.

That's a big building.

I don't know if you've ever been in it or near it.

It's hard to miss because it's enormous.

Okay.

Here's the new policy down at the border.

Washington Examiner has just reported today the Biden administration has secretly been slashing the number of illegal immigrants who must post-bond to enter in the United States.

It's a new policy, and I'm quoting, a new policy called

releasing everyone,

end quote.

Hmm.

I don't think that's a policy.

I don't think

that's just release everybody.

You know what I mean?

I don't think there's, there's nothing like, you know how it's like,

this bill will save babies bill.

And you're like, oh, well, who I got to vote for that because who wants to not save babies Except half of Congress.

So that wouldn't work.

It's like, give everybody free money and stuff.

They call it that, and you're like, you pass it, and then it's the exact opposite.

You know, they come in and they take all of your clothing.

They take even the spoons out.

You're eating soup.

And they just take the spoon out from your hand.

This is all part of the Give People Free Stuff Act.

This is the opposite.

I think if their policy is just release everybody, it would mean

that everybody goes to jail.

But for some strange reason, this policy is exactly what it sounds like.

This, I might point out, is also

not normal.

So they're just releasing everyone instead of detaining any illegal aliens.

The Biden administration is dismantling the detention and bonds programs by simply releasing every single illegal alien it can into the United States.

That, you know, sure, lawlessness, chaos, drugs, terrorists,

you know,

child sex,

rape.

You know, maybe they become, maybe it becomes,

you know, maybe we'll have a new state because they're going to be the biggest state in the Union.

Maybe we could get that done.

I mean, you can think of all like really great things that are going to come from this.

Again, not normal.

And how much is that going to cost us?

Now this story, this story just in.

Looks like top U.S.

trading partners, including, could you do the teletype behind me?

Could you just do that?

I want it to sound.

You're wanting me to type?

Is that, or you want an actual teletype?

There we go.

Okay.

1010 wins news.

Give us, I don't know, five minutes and we'll use that five minutes.

Here it is.

Top U.S.

trading partners, including the UK, Germany, and Japan, have recently entered recessions as inflation and high interest rates burden businesses.

While the U.S.

has so far avoided recession, it could be dragged in to the economic turmoil as trade trade and international businesses decline.

Wow, thank you, 1010 wins.

Wow, so we're fine.

May I ask you, what causes the inflation

in countries that can't print money?

Hmm.

What causes inflation?

I mean, don't they have more gold in their vaults?

Because our gold

is inflating too,

which just means it's worth more, right?

It's bigger.

It's inflating.

Why are they having these problems?

Oh, it might be that the people they counted on being their gold standard,

inflation doesn't, it doesn't mean it that way.

When our dollar is inflating, that doesn't mean the gold that it's supposed to be replacing is also getting bigger.

It's getting smaller.

And so they have to make more of their dollars because it's in effect with our spending.

We're sneaking into their vaults and stealing their gold.

But here's the great thing: we never have to be there.

All we have to do to steal that gold from them is just spend more money, you know, on some sort of a really, really

important trans-surgery scientific study that's going to involve every university ever.

We just do that, and they are going to love us for that.

How about this one?

The IRS announced yesterday: if you're expecting a return,

it's going to be super big if you live in reverso world.

Last year, the average person received $1,963

in their income tax return.

This year, $1,395,

which I don't, I'm not an expert at math.

We should go to a scientist, a mathematician, because I'm a layman.

So what do I know?

But one of those numbers is bigger than the other.

Now, traffic and weather together on the eights.

There in Philadelphia, there was a horse

on the highway.

In other news today,

Biden has pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanors and tax charges and felony gun charge during a hearing after a plea bargain announced June 20th collapsed.

His attorneys,

Abby Lowell,

Abby Lowell, and Christopher Mann, claimed that a photo apparently showing three lines of cocaine

with Hunter Biden standing by it was not indeed cocaine.

The attorneys for Mr.

Biden said the prosecution is flat out wrong.

Mr.

Biden is standing what you, what the prosecution says is three lines of cocaine.

But we would like to point out that that's actually a photo of sawdust from an expert carpenter

showing that he kicked cocaine, and so could the vice president's son.

Whores

on a highway

We did this

thing in Ken Burns style, letters exchanged between Joe Biden and Hunter Biden that we just released yesterday on YouTube, youtube.com/slash studosamerica.

And it's just like them, these letters that went back and forth supposedly from Biden to Hunter.

And in there, we actually make a joke about

Joe Biden seeing the photos of Hunter and wondering why as they were baking, they left all this flour out all over the place

and then they made that actual like legal argument in court i you try to parody these things and you fail because life because there's a horse on the highway

so now what do we do about it what do we do about it well First, you have to stop looking at all of these stories as

just one-offs.

They're not.

Yeah, I know, sounds crazy, but they're not.

Tonight,

Biden's own DOJ recently hinted that the President of the United States is too mentally incompetent to stand trial,

but in some twisted sort of alternate reality

that doesn't make him too mentally incompetent to run the country.

The Obama playbook, Fundamental Transformation,

top-down, bottom-up, and inside-out.

This plan was used by the Soviets to flip capitalist Czechoslovakia to communist because they had to be invited in.

It's kind of like, no, I I can't come in, let your vibrator.

The Obama version,

I think, was modeled after that,

written by the American socialists from the 1960s, and it's called the Cloward Pivin Strategy.

In case you don't remember what I told you, oh, so very...

When you were just a young little toddler sitting on my lap, and that nice senator would come and smell your head.

If you don't remember what I taught you back then, you cannot miss the Wednesday night special because back then it was a theory.

Back then it was something that I said, this is happening.

That's a conspiracy theory.

Well, now

when we have horses on the highway, I think we can look at it in a new light.

We all think horses on the highway unusual, right?

Am I right?

Is there anybody within this animal?

Anybody?

Bueller.

Anybody that thinks that that is normal.

Another thing we have in common is

we love babies.

I mean, I don't want them, but we love them as long as I can give them back when they start to smell or drool or I'm just tired of holding them.

Other than that, I love babies.

We save babies.

This audience saves babies.

Don't know if you know that, but we also save the moms.

This is one of the greatest things ever.

I mean, this is something where we can be for something.

I'm for the moms that come in and they feel trapped and, you know, they want to have,

they have to get an abortion because they feel they have to.

Nobody's in their corner.

Nobody's supporting them.

I love them.

I also love the babies.

What do you say we help both of them?

We can

You know, we've barely mentioned

President's Week.

Used to be President's Day, but nope,

not normal.

We just combined the two of them together, and now it's President's Day, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

And I just wanted to point out, you know, we always talk about Abraham Lincoln, and, you know, we all know the things he did.

But one interesting little tidbit has come out this year that

he not only freed the slaves, but he also

pardoned

Moses Robinette,

as in Joe Robinette Biden.

Yeah, he apparently shivved somebody with a knife in a fight in the Union Army, and the president got in the middle of it and he pardoned him, which

makes me think that if Lincoln would have done his damn job and just stayed out of it, maybe

the Robinette family would have passed that little thing down.

Hey, you do the crime, you do the time.

You know what I'm saying?

Let me tell you about American Giant.

Our trade relationship with China is a joke.

I mean, it really it is with everything.

I mean, hey, can we buy some more of your stuff cheap?

Yeah.

Yeah, they'll do that.

There's a company that is trying to do something about this by just making things here in America.

That's the solution.

13 years ago, American giant rescued a clothing factory in North Carolina.

It was about to be shut down and jobs were saved.

More have been created.

I mean, really, the town was saved.

The people were saved.

I mean, when this thing was going out, that was it.

That was it.

They brought back the American workers and they brought back the quality American clothing that used to be made in America with American grown cotton.

Everything, the rivets, the ink, everything is made and sourced here in America and then stitched here in America.

I mean, you could find cheaper clothes.

You know,

good luck with that, you know.

I would be definitely against slavery.

I mean, unless they're making clothes cheaper, and then I'm okay.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We all know things are about to change dramatically.

Some of us have, you know, money riding on it.

Stu, can you think of anything that might change that might make you, I don't know, $1,000 poorer?

Yeah, I can think of one specific really?

Yeah, that I'm a little more nervous about than I used to be.

Yeah, what would that be?

Well, you've bet me $1,000 that you think Michelle Obama will be the candidate.

Yeah, not only that,

but that Joe Biden will not be the candidate.

Well, by definition, Glenn, they can't have two candidates.

So, yes, you're right.

If Michelle Obama was the candidate, that would also mean that Joe Biden.

I think it's a damn distance against me.

That's what I said to you last time.

You were like, whoa, yeah, I guess so.

I guess it wouldn't be a draw.

Oh, you.

Anyway,

so if you're like me and would like to see Stu suffer,

I have somebody

who can take the parallel from 2020 and show you how it's been done before.

We'll talk about that with Steve Krakauer coming up next.

I have partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

This is a group that I have personally given to over the years.

I really, really like them, like what they do,

and I like the fact that it's Jews and Christians working together.

Hey, let's save all the Jews.

I don't know.

What do you say we work together as Christians and Jews?

Wouldn't that be nice?

That's why I've partnered with them after October 7th.

Israel is in real trouble, as you know.

They don't really have any friends.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, big friend.

It's the IFCJ, and it's right in the middle of all of this every day.

They work on essentials like food and medicine and emergency supplies.

Supportifcj.org.

Go there now.

Supportifcj.org.

Your donation is urgently needed to help the people in Israel and your gift will be matched to double the impact.

Provide twice the support.

You give a dollar.

Somebody else is matching that with a dollar.

Supportifcj.org.

Go there now.

Steve Krakow,

who

used to work here.

And you, and where were you working before you were at CNN?

Before here, I was at CNN.

So it was, yes, I was at CNN for about three and a half years.

It was a very different CNN, I have to say, back in 2010 to 2013 when I was there.

Yeah, well, I had just left there, and it was.

Right.

I mean, it was still the same, but it was not out of control.

Right.

The guardrails were on.

Yeah.

I mean, they wouldn't crucify you in the hallway with literal nails.

I think they would now.

And then you came here and you were working at the Blaze for a long time.

You've moved on.

You left us.

And you left us for somebody better looking and more talented.

You went to work with Megan Kelly.

Yes.

But you also

have your own thing.

You've written a book.

This came out last year.

Last year, yeah.

Okay.

It's been republished now in paperback.

It's called Uncovered: How the Media Got Cozy with Power, Abandoned Its Principles, and Lost the People.

You've been watching the media for a long time and watching politics and how it's been covered.

There's something, there's a replay of sorts, I think.

And

I know you wrote about this in the book, but I want to see what you, if you believe it ties back in.

And that's the Bernie Sanders getting the shaft from the DNC in 2020.

Yeah, absolutely.

And I think you can, I write on Covered about the way Bernie Sanders got the shaft in 2016 as well.

And then again in 2020 by the DNC.

We saw this incredible moment.

They actually made a point of this when they covered this in the New York Times of saying, you know, Bernie Sanders was

really kind of coasting to victory.

He had won huge in New Hampshire.

That was in 2016, right?

Well, in 2016, and then again in 2020, you know, in one Nevada.

And then there was this moment where Pete Buttigieg, who was doing pretty well in his campaign, and Amy Klobuchar, all of a sudden, they all dropped out.

They all got behind Joe Biden in this final push to stop Bernie Sanders, stop the big upstart, the progressive, the anti-establishment candidate on the Democratic side.

But what was different in 2020, and what I write about and uncovered versus 2016 was it was also the media.

I went back and I looked at some of that MSNBC coverage.

Joy Reed, Chris Matthews, they were going so hard against Bernie Sanders, but not just against Bernie Sanders, but against his own supporters.

And they were rallying the rest of the Democratic Party and saying, you know, you have to get in line.

CNN,

this incredible moment, I have to say they...

kind of created the story of Bernie Sanders having this sexist moment with Elizabeth Warren where he said, oh, a woman can't become president.

And then that story gets published by CNN.

And then that night is the CNN debate where Elizabeth Warren could then attack Bernie Sanders over it.

So there were all these little moments where the corporate press was essentially working in collusion with the DNC to stop Bernie Sanders.

And I believe that we've seen a playbook for this.

And now we fast forward to 2024.

At the time, that was in support of...

I've been seeing it again.

Yeah, it was in support of Joe Biden.

Now we see potentially, I think the drip, drip, drip happening as Recline podcast last week, certain stories.

If Joe Biden were to step aside, here's how they could replace him.

We're starting to see this happen.

And I think that if we really start to see media stories, places like a CNN, places like MSNBC, start to talk about what's really going on behind the scenes at the White House or potentially some, maybe some big Hunter Biden investigation, then we start to know they're done with Joe Biden.

They're ready to move on.

You know that's coming.

They started going after Dr.

Jill.

Yeah.

You know, just this week, that she's really the force behind him staying because she wants vengeance.

That was the word, vengeance.

I mean, I don't know who's really crossed Dr.

Jill, but okay,

but she wants vengeance.

And I thought that story would not have come out in 2020.

There's no way.

No.

There's no way.

They are now going after her and just sending a subtle signal.

We'll continue to do that.

You really want to surrender.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't think the story would have come out in 2023.

I think that the her report, the special counsel report was a big moment.

And we've seen the polls.

I mean, 86% of Americans, including most Democrats, think that Joe Biden's too old to run.

If this is really going to continue down this path, and I do think that the State of the Union coming up next month is a big pivot point.

If Joe Biden is able to sort of be okay on that big stage, maybe the rest of the Democratic establishment, the elites on the Democratic side, and the media stays behind it.

But if he doesn't, if he stumbles, I think we're going to see the floodgates open.

And we've seen, you know, like I write in Uncovered, the media on the left has tremendous power to sway their base.

And if they really get behind it, it's over.

Joe Biden will have to step aside.

Even if he says, I can do the job, it appears the American people think I can't.

And then we start to open the idea of, okay, what happens next?

Is it Harris?

Is it Michelle Obama?

Who steps into that?

There's no way it's Harris.

I don't think it's possible yet.

I think that's more likely than Obama.

Still, I do.

Do you really?

I do.

I mean, again, she's terrible.

And there's no reason to

unlikable.

It's totally true.

Everything you're saying is true.

It still would be difficult, though,

to just replace her.

I mean, just to skip over her, Michelle Obama would be the one figure you could see that happening with because they could justify, well, it's an Obama, it's a black woman, we can do this.

But it'll be hard to skip over.

I don't think Gavin Newsom's a realistic possibility.

I think Michelle Obama, Kamala, but I think is a, I mean, she's just unlikable.

Susan Rice is a, it has to be a black woman.

Yeah.

It has to be a black woman if you're going.

If you're not going to go with Kamala.

If you're not going to go with Kamala.

Well, this is, this is why I think it's so important for a really discerning viewer and reader to look at what the media is putting out there.

They are in the know in a lot of these things.

There was an Axios piece recently about kind of behind the scenes of the Biden administration that essentially propped up Susan Rice as this really key figure who she knew so much more than Kamala Harris on the border.

She was really taking it to Alejandro Mayorkas behind the scenes, maybe planted by the Susan Rice people to kind of position her as a potential savior there as well.

Is she running the White House?

Is she the one that's the point person at the White House?

I think that she was part of that Obama Biden blob that was part of it.

She has now stepped aside.

She is last year was essentially removed.

But you look at the people, Anita Dunn, Susan Rice, a lot of these holdovers from the Obama years.

I mean, a lot of people have described the Biden administration as the third Obama administration, right?

I mean, that's essentially a lot of people.

And, you know, they say, they mock that now, but that came from the New York Times even in 2020.

You know, they said

for him, basically.

They were basically arguing on behalf of Biden, essentially.

This is, don't worry, it's a third Obama administration.

But there was also somebody

who was taking it apart and saying, you know, had been taking it apart and saying, well, you know, Everybody thought that was crazy.

Look at who he has now in the White House.

It's all Obama people.

Right, right.

And Obama's the only one that hasn't moved away from D.C.

No, no president has ever done that.

I know, I know.

And to your Michelle Obama point, recently on Jay Shetty's very highly rated podcast,

why?

She wasn't there to promote anything, but she's there talking Trump, talking politics.

So you start to get these seeds and you wonder what is really behind it.

And I do think that what's most interesting about this current moment that we're in is Biden is part of the blob.

He's not the Bernie Sanders type.

He's very much part of the establishment.

And whoever's running that White House is part of that also.

The corporate media,

I have quotes on the record in the book about people saying how the people that are covering the Biden White House have spent decades working and essentially having cocktail parties with the people in the White House.

They know these people extremely well.

It's not necessarily they're all colluding together, but they go to each other's kids' soccer games.

They're part of that Ocela media in New York and D.C.

So you're going to get the signs in the media.

It's inevitable.

If that's where the Democratic Party wants to go, it will be fed through the corporate media.

So it feels like that already,

but

it doesn't seem sure-footed yet.

And you're saying it's going to be the possibly.

I think if I'm

diagnosing your bet with Stu, I think it's probably 50-50 still.

It's 50-50.

Would you like to

double the bet?

We already have even odds on this bet.

Would you like to double it?

Want to make it $2,000, not just a $3,000?

$1,000?

I mean, the problem is percentage of income.

I'm the one getting screwed here, right?

Like, we all understand.

Now we're a socialist.

Now we have to be all equal.

I mean,

here's the thing.

And let me talk this out in my head as we're going through this.

One of the arguments that I, because I think Kamala Harris is, she's still the most obvious choice.

It would be difficult to overlook her.

One of the reasons why I felt like Biden would stay in place is because

if Kamala, who comes into power, becomes the candidate, she has her own people.

And all those people who are with Biden now are like, we're going to lose our gig if Kamala is the person because Kamala,

they have totally different circles.

The Michelle Obama point, though, is a good one here because they are sort of the same circles.

Like some of them are Biden loyalists, the Anthony Blinkens of the world, but a lot of them are sort of Obama

affiliated.

So, I mean, it makes me hesitant, but I mean, again,

she said over and over again, she doesn't want to do it.

All right, 2000.

Let's go.

2000, 2000.

2000.

We're updating it.

2000.

That's a good.

I think it's

what you've got the bet in now, so it's done.

Okay.

But, but I think we're going to learn a lot more in the near future.

I think we're, we're, the fact that the, the train is out the station now, right?

It's moving.

We're watching it happen in the press.

Now we start to see whether it's going to continue.

Nothing like this has ever been done before.

No.

Okay.

This will be completely.

It'll be a horse on the highway.

Okay.

Yeah.

I don't know if you saw this, but go ahead and play.

This is on, I think it's I-76 in Philadelphia.

I can't stop watching it.

I've seen it 25 times this morning, and I still watch it every time I pop it up.

Because you've never seen it before.

It's a horse on the highway.

Okay.

And that's what this will be.

Right.

Can you walk us through on

what has to happen?

I mean, could they do that

in the Republican Party?

Yes.

In theory, they could.

Okay, so hang on.

Explain both of those to me here in just a second.

Steve Krakauer, who is the executive producer of the Megan Kelly program.

And every time I'm on with her, I and maybe I should just come out and say it.

I feel a little awkward.

But Megan, my eyes are up here.

Okay.

But

I'm sure she talks about me.

Well, probably not.

Oh, yeah.

But she's

oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Well, totally.

Totally.

Anyway,

so

welcome to the program.

Now,

tell me how the Democrats, because the Democrats have it pretty easy.

They have the super, what are they called?

Super delegates.

Delegates, right?

Right.

And they put that in place after they saw Reagan win.

And they're like, we can't let that happen.

I mean, the people choose?

No way.

Right.

And so how would this work?

Yeah.

Well, and I have to say, I know I mentioned Ezra Klein.

He had the podcast last week, which I think started this ball rolling.

He had another podcast today.

And again, this is, who cares about Ezra Klein, right?

But this is a New York Times podcast, very influential person.

He spends an hour laying out what would happen at a contested convention.

He is laying the groundwork for what might be the case here and is obviously pushing for it as well.

So it depends on when Joe Biden steps aside.

There's a scenario where he steps aside very soon and then they essentially have a primary process.

That seems pretty dangerous for the Democratic establishment.

There's the contested convention option, which again is kind of chaotic.

And so wait, wait, wait.

That is him still saying,

and the people who are at the convention, the super delegates and other delegates go, no.

Right.

Right.

Right.

That's one scenario.

Or he potentially just says, I'm now going to step aside and let the delegates decide, make their decision.

And there's a lot of delegates that are going to be involved in that process.

But I have to put out another.

Really interesting window in time that might happen.

This was actually laid out on the Megan Kelly show back last year.

There's a moment where from August 23rd until about September 10th, this 20-day stretch, where if Joe Biden accepts the nomination at the convention, then the convention ends and the delegates go home and they're no longer needed.

But then in this three-week period, if Joe Biden then decides I want to step down, what happens is the DNC just picks a candidate.

Oh,

my God.

So it makes it very easy.

We love democracy, don't we?

Yes.

Wow.

You've got to, I guess, destroy democracy to save democracy.

This is the theory, right?

It's unbelievable.

Yes.

And so this is certainly a possibility where you can, he can step aside.

The DNC just gets together.

It's 150, 200 people.

They pick the candidate, it gives him enough time to put it on all the ballots in every state, and then they just.

But who is a big enough name and known well enough to take that job?

Right.

Well, I mean, Michelle Obama is the same.

Let's go back to 1500.

What do you mean?

3,000.

What about 3,000?

Four in a bigger reason.

Four?

You want to go for four?

This is another reason why it's Michelle Obama or whoever gets put in that spot.

Matt, you don't have to do any campaigning.

There's no primary process at that point.

And you probably don't have to do any debates.

Like, we've already seen the way that they've talked about Donald Trump.

He's this insurrectionist.

And of course,

let alone if there's any, even in the New York trial, if he's found guilty at that point, well, I'm not going to get on the debate stage with that person.

So whoever is in that spot just essentially just coasts to the final general election in November without having to do any campaigning or any debating.

So it's an interesting prospect for someone who wants to not be involved in politics, but potentially quote unquote, save the republic.

That's fascinating.

I'm sure someone's a three-week period.

Michelle Obama.

Do you take or can we do a payment plan?

Do you have a payment plan option available?

No, no, sure.

I'm like that New York court.

I want to bond on it right now.

But, Glenn, can we just say, I think that we should just step back and say, and this is what I try to do when I covered it: why is this happening?

The only reason that we're even having this conversation is because of what I've seen described as threat inflation, where there is this idea where it's not what would happen in 2024 if Donald Trump wins.

The media, the Democratic establishment is making it seem like it truly is the end of the Republic, right?

It's truly the end of democracy.

And so when you have that kind of threat inflation to it, this is such a huge thing.

We cannot let this happen.

That's when you have these kind of insane, chaotic opportunities that emerge, like this very unique situation that we're in.

What did you think of the New York Times article this week that said that Democrats in particular are tired of the threat inflation.

Yeah.

Right.

Right.

Even the reason they're working for the rest of the world.

Yeah.

They're like, you know, in 2020, okay, but now I'm just tired of it.

Well, tired of it.

I think that this is what I saw, frankly, in 2015 and 2016, which is the genesis for Uncovered, which was the media, even the CNNs of the world and the left that are in theory serving the left side of the country are so out of touch with the average person in the rest of the country.

They're so isolated geographically and have zero diversity of thought, no intellectual honesty on DC and New York.

And they are just not in step with what the average person, even people on the left, even average Democrats in the rest of the country, feel and think right now.

Now, look, there is obviously the quote-unquote resistance, the people who are

consuming politics every day, consuming the media every day.

But most people aren't.

I think most people are kind of exhausted with this.

And they look at Joe Biden.

They don't want to have enemies.

No, no.

They'd much rather just,

but having enemies, you know, having a country that's that essentially feels like they have enemies, kind of part of the business model these days in the corporate media.

It is.

If you don't have that, then you don't have business.

We're with Steve Krakow.

We're going to come back and talk to him about Donald Trump now.

He's the author of the book Uncovered, available everywhere now.

Glenn Beck.

So, Christy wrote to me about her dog's experience with Rough Green.

She said, We have two pointers who hunt at least four days a week, if not more.

What are are you, Daniel Boone?

Where do you live?

Anyway, their skin has been dry and flaky and their coats dull and rough.

Within two weeks of using Rough Greens, we've been able to see the bounce back level and energy as well as their coats being amazingly shiny and smooth.

No more dry, flaky skin.

Couldn't be happier with it.

I got to tell you, I went hunting with a dog during Thanksgiving, I think.

You had to bring the dog over to the bird.

No, right.

Right underneath it.

Stand back.

I'll get it.

Anyway, Rough Greens isn't a dog food.

It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr.

Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog's food.

Brown food is dead food.

You want the greens.

The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it, they have a special deal for you.

Free.

The free bag.

It's a trial bag.

All you pay for is shipping at roughgreens.com/slash Beck.

That's roughgreens.com/slash Beck.

Or call 833-Glenn33.

833-Glenn33.

Roughgreens.com/slash Beck.

And it's blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Use the code free speech, get 30% off, and get access to that Tucker Carlson interview.

It's available on demand now.

Blazetv.com slash Glenn.

I mean, honestly, it's still.

I mean, honestly, has this ever happened before where we've had to try to convince a guest to stay with us?

I mean, I don't think that's ever happened before.

Usually, the guests are like, I'm so honored to be on.

Not like, I got to get out of here.

This is not the crack hour away, though.

It's not the crack hour away.

I'm remembering why.

He left us.

He left us.

You know, oh, I've got to go to work.

Megan Kelly is my boss, and she's going to want me producing the show in a few minutes.

Yeah, whatever.

This is good, though.

I appreciate that.

Steve Crackhauer, he is the author of the book Uncovered.

He is also the editor of Fourth Watch, and you can find him at readuncovered.com or follow him on X at Steve Krack.

That's with two Ks.

Unlike the way Hunter Biden spells it.

K-R-A-K.

Okay.

So we were talking about what the Democrats can do.

Now what happens?

I mean, what are your thoughts?

I mean, they're in New York and D.C.

Those people are crazy in the courts.

Crazy.

Oh, yeah.

They'll convict him.

I think so.

Yeah.

And I think that was part of the plan.

You know, it's so funny.

You can turn on CNN or MSNBC these days and you watch a segment about, you know, experts say that if Donald Trump gets back in the White House in 2024, he could go after his political enemies.

Look what that might do to our democracy.

Okay, and when we come back, here are an update on the four criminal trials against Donald Trump.

What are we doing here?

But there's no cognitive dissonance.

They don't care about hypocrisy anymore.

That's completely out the window.

So no, I think that the plan was to get a

conviction before the election.

I think that's certainly still possible, although I think we've seen that some of these trials are delayed.

But whether it comes to the political establishment, frankly, on both sides, if you kind of look at it, and the media, that's the plan.

I think that they want him to go into that general election.

And we've seen in the polls that if he really is convicted of any of these, even the New York one, that could have an effect on the independence, independence, on the apolitical voters.

So it could have an actual impact.

But

it's just

the, I mean, by their own thinking, that would just make him the third black American president, right?

There you go.

I mean, you know,

I think they've made him into a martyr.

Yeah.

They've made him into a symbol.

He's much more

than Donald Trump now because they've gone after him with such crazy stuff.

This judge up in New York.

Anyway, we don't have to get into that.

You got to get mad with me and Kelly.

I just

wanted to ask you.

So

if he goes to jail, I mean, he'll say he wants to run.

Right.

The Republicans, what are they going to do?

That's really the big question because in theory, he could still run from jail.

I mean,

it's crazy that we're having this conversation at all, but that is obviously.

There was a horse on the highway today.

And now our Republican candidate is running for president from jail and could win from jail as well.

So it's definitely possible, but I think that's the big question.

I think that we're not going to get any sort of trial and conviction before July, before the Republican convention.

So it would be after.

So I think at that point, it's done.

Donald Trump's going to be the nominee.

I don't see that as a possible.

I think it might have been a possibility if it happened in May or June, and then they get to the convention.

And then are they going to have a contested convention?

I think we're kind of done with that possibility.

It's going to be Donald Trump.

Conviction or not.

I think that's where we're heading.

Chance of him winning, convicted.

Still a good chance.

I mean, it depends on who's on the other side.

If it's Joe Biden, I think he's got a great chance.

Odds that Joe Biden is the candidate in November.

This is crazy.

This is crazy talk.

Should be, I mean, he's already the nominee, basically.

Yeah.

They're both the nominees.

They still might not be the nominee.

Yeah, they both could not be the nominee.

Yeah, I think it's unlikely, but I think that they there's definitely a possibility certainly more strongly that that biden is not the nominee but that's amazing yeah yeah but i mean i think

i got to tell you i i i i mean i think a lot of america would go look just both of you back away

right can we get somebody who's 40 you know just uh just 40 just somebody who understands i mean donald trump knows how to how to use the internet and and use his phone we are very well of that aware of that but i don't think biden is oh no you know he's like yeah what did uh where's my record player

you know he puts a tick tock out there and they got like 27 different jump cuts in it because he can't get formula

tick tock he didn't his was it his policy no tick tock oh yeah yeah no the hypocrisy isn't mine anyway i know i know all right so let steve get to his job all right

don't say hi to megan thank you both oh megan i was on a little show called the glenbeck program on it as always

thanks a lot steve The book is uncovered how the media got cozy with power, abandoned its principles, and lost the people.

And he sits there like he's.

Now, go to your Megan if we care.

It is great, though, Glenn.

And

we talked a lot about our bet and not as much about his book, but the book has a lot of how the sausage is made and also interviews with like every

big media personality on this stuff.

It's a really, it's a really well worth your time.

So even though we're not worth his time, the book is worth your time.

apparently not.

Hey, so I'm doing a show tonight at

9 o'clock.

Of course, not going to be as good as anything Megan's going to do today.

But I'm going to talk to you about Cloward and Piven and what just

the border is costing cities and states and the federal government.

It's outrageous.

We showed you earlier today.

Do we have that cut of that hotel?

The horse on the highway?

No, no.

No, no.

It's a different cut.

Yeah, go ahead.

Listen Listen to this.

Here is the Roe Hotel.

This is one of the five hotels that has been transformed into a shelter.

We're going to walk in there and see what can operation they're running inside.

This is a nice hotel.

Really nice hotel.

How's it going?

Now he's moving to the house.

Oh, yeah, we're secondary hotel.

Oh, the hotel is closed.

The hotel is closed.

Yeah, but it's a shelter now, he says.

Oh, you guys can.

A shelter for the migrants coming in?

Yeah, yeah.

It's no longer open to the public.

It's closed to the public.

How many floors is it?

30 floors.

This thing is full.

Yeah.

You guys aren't allowed to talk about it?

Why is it like such a big secret, do you think?

I don't know.

We just follow orders.

When hotels such as the Roe Hotel close until further notice, they sign the contract with an outside source saying that they will pay the rent in order for them to house the migrants.

And the hotels love it because it is guaranteed money every single night.

And at a rate of $200 per night at the Roe Hotel.

and with 1,331 rooms that is $260,000 a day $1.8 million a week and $7.2 million a month and all that money is guaranteed stop can I

can I ask he just he went by so quickly Andy and an outside source is paying what what what what what outside source is paying is it the state is it the city is it who is it I mean somebody's paying for it clearly and $7.2 million

a month.

Well, this is what Eric Adams has been

partially complaining about, right?

Like that they have to spend all this money and they don't have it.

So I don't know.

I mean, there's reports that they have outside, you know, help coming in from the federal government, and they're certainly requesting it.

I think, oh, good.

Well, we've got plenty of money.

We have plenty of money.

By the way, we told you today that for the first time ever, horse on the highway,

we are

now looking at more interest on our debt than what it costs to run the entire military-industrial complex.

Okay?

More in interest.

That's a problem.

Now, is it?

Here's the, nah, here's the, here's the real, I'm just saying that for hype.

I don't mean any of this, do.

Boston activists now has demanded.

Well, let me just set this up.

You know that Boston is paying because they have to, because they have a right to shelter law.

So everybody's going up to Boston.

And in the right to shelter, it's not just shelter.

You need to have a bed, a guaranteed refrigerator, and a microwave.

Okay?

Guaranteed.

State.

State law or city law.

Okay.

Well, they don't have enough of those.

You know, would you like a place with a bed and a microwave and a refrigerator and a sink?

Yeah, well, we don't have any of those.

So what they're paying now, they're paying restaurants and big food processing companies $65

a day for every illegal alien.

And they're getting hot meals delivered to them.

How long is that going to last before it all collapses?

Now we have a Boston activist that is demanding $15 billion in reparations

for black Americans.

This reminds me of Cloward and Piven.

And what I talked to Tucker Carlson about, he said, you know, there's going to come a time where people are just going to say, make it stop.

And they will just run to whoever it is.

It'll make it stop.

Yeah, that is also strategy.

That was a strategy from the Soviet Union when they took over Czechoslovakia back in the 1940s.

We went over both of these things with giant chalkboards back at Fox.

I'm going to show you, it's not a theory anymore, exactly what is happening and how those are being played out, exactly as we warned they would, they're being played out right now.

The clock is ticking.

How long before we have no money left

and can't do anything about it?

Got a challenge for you.

So,

stuper gear.

At the end of another program, I still haven't found the right jingle

for our Texas Court of Appeals or no, Texas Criminal Court.

I think that's what it is.

I don't even know.

This is like the biggest thing.

If Texas doesn't put at least these three people on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, we lose Texas.

There's no hyperbole there.

There will not be any investigations at all of any fraud because this

Court of Criminal Appeals

has made it so the Attorney General can't look into it.

No DA is because

they're all Sorrel's DAs.

So people, you know, we're trying to figure out how to get people to remember Schneck

or

Schneck.

How would you say this?

Schneck,

Parker, and Finley.

And, you know, somebody called and said it's the Coppertone candidates, SPF, but I'm not going to remember.

I'll just, if there's another S on, I can easily.

That could be a problem.

We're not very smart.

So, you know, we have been trying to come up with a jingle, and I, oof, I,

um,

wow.

Go ahead.

Here's the first one.

All that we want is Dave Big's care.

Gina Parker and Leafin Leave for Texas.

Court of Criminal Appeals.

Wow, it's really, really good.

I mean, jingle singers, you don't have to worry about AI because, I mean, if this is what it produces, I just don't.

Give me the one on the warm Texas Eve.

I don't even know who this one's trying to appeal to.

Do you know?

I have it here, Sarah.

Let me just play this one.

Tell me, I know.

Wind begins to whisper.

Skip hockey.

Names shine like the glister.

I don't think glister is even a word.

Glister?

I mean, blister is a word, but you don't want to compare the candidates to that.

I don't even even know.

No.

Is this the rock one?

Yeah.

Oh, no.

Wait.

Yeah, give me the rock one.

This one in this world of darkness and despair.

That's this.

This isn't bad.

I gotta say, it's like a Pat Benatar endorsement.

So it's David, Gene, and Lee instead of, you know, the last name.

But that might be.

I don't even know.

I mean, yeah, I don't know.

That might be hard.

What if there's another David, Gene, or Lee?

I don't know.

Try this one.

Yo, yo, yo, I'm here to say.

Got some judges who will make your date.

David Shit, Gina Parker, Lee Finley, hear me out.

In the Texas court of criminal deals, they carry clout.

David Shit, he's sharp, no doubt.

Gina Parker with them's what she's about.

Lee Finley, fairness, he does tout.

For justice, they all shout.

Shake Parker Finley in the court, they weave, upholding the law and what they believe.

From dawn to dusk, they never deceive.

They're not bad.

Is there a demand for a mentally challenged white rapper doing an endorsement of

no?

This is AI.

He identifies whatever.

There are more

choices of gender for AI.

Okay.

That's good.

An infinite number.

An infinite number.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, no, that one's not bad.

The rock one.

No, it's not good.

It's not good.

I mean, may I just remind you of this one?

Texas Eve.

Well,

I mean,

if you care about the

masterpiece,

you know, then you're going to care about that.

Yeah, no, the rap one's a masterpiece and completely.

Play the rock one because that's, you know.

That one sounds like legitimately it could have been a song from some Pat Benatar album in 1986.

And why is AI good at this in rap?

Standing tall and strong.

Yeah, yeah.

See, I mean, it's like a power bat.

I mean, just

think, I know we're maybe even already past this observation, but like, think of how incredible it is that you could just type a sentence into a freaking

thing.

But you also, you also, you also get this.

So.

They do shine like a glister.

That is fair.

No one will talk about that, but they do shine like a glister.

They do.

They do.

That you'd remember.

If Glister was on, you'd remember that.
