We're giving Ukraine money.

We're giving an awful lot of money,

Well, hello, and welcome.

I'm glad you're here today.

Stu, welcome.

There's a lot going on.

Let me start with the border news over the weekend.

It continued to heat up, and let me just give you a few of the touch points here.

More governors traveled to the Texas-Mexico border on Sunday to show their solidarity with Governor Abbott and the federal government.

Speeches were given directly at Ground Zero, and the media is dubbing it Civil War 2.0.

So they were surrounded by the Texas National Guard, military vehicles, loads of razor wire, right in Shelby Park at Eagle Pass, Texas.

Now, over on the federal level, the Senate appears to have come to an agreement on...

They say it's a border bill, but we'll get into the details here in a second.

It's actually a multi-billion dollar war package.

Do not be fooled by the name border bill.

It's not.

Now, it does have some stuff to do with the border, depending on who you talk to.

It's both amazing for the border and the worst piece of immigration legislation in history.

It's weird how something could be both of those things.

Could it also possibly be that all of the border news happening right now is just a song and dance.

Could it be that no one is actually interested at all in solving the border problem?

All the world is but a stage and we are merely its players.

Yes, yes, that's what's happening.

For decades now, the border has been enormous political capital for both.

sides in Washington, D.C.

Republicans love it, Democrats love it, and they never really cared about the impacts to our communities and to our states.

Why would they suddenly start caring about it now?

Well, because it's so bad.

Uh-huh.

So we sent our Blaze Originals documentary team down with the border convoy.

And boy, did they learn a lot.

They were with the convoy, but the convoy led them to all kinds of other discoveries about the standoff at the border between the state and the feds.

We found something shocking that no one is talking about.

We're being duped by all sides.

Here's one piece I can give you today.

Consider this.

Did you hear about

a secret meeting?

Did you hear that while reports of record amounts of illegals were pouring over our border, this was in December, Secretary of State Blinken held a secret meeting with Mexican officials in Mexico City.

Now, it was reported that he traveled there, but the full contents of the meeting were not disclosed.

We have no idea.

Why is that?

Was there an agreement that was made?

Were concessions handed over?

If so, what did we give up?

Why isn't this meeting discussed in the media when they talk about Civil War 2.0?

Or when the Senate hails a landmark border deal?

What happened in Mexico?

Could all of this just be a charade for the people?

Our Blaze original documentary team might have the real answer for you.

The full report is coming out in a couple of weeks, but we will have more on this on our Wednesday night TV special.

This is is all breaking news

in

our world,

and we'll give you all of the full details

as we gather everything and make sure it's all buttoned up.

Now, the senators revealed a $118 billion emergency national security supplemental appropriations act.

Wow, so it's an emergency.

And it's about national security.

So what did we get?

Well, $118 billion National Security Supplemental, Supplemental

Appropriations Act would give $60 billion in aid to Ukraine.

Wait, wait, what?

So it's $118 billion.

Half of it goes to, I thought it, wait, wait, emergency national security supplemental bill.

I thought that national emergency was

the border, because wasn't that why he needed emergency powers the border

so half the money goes to aid Ukraine they also allocated $20 billion into securing the US southern border okay so say wait so three times the amount goes to Ukraine

also

$20 billion for the border, $14 billion in security assistance to Israel, and just to make it all fair, $10 billion in humanitarian assistance for civilians caught in the conflict zones of Gaza.

Oh, well, that's.

Okay, wait, what?

$4.5 billion, almost $5 billion, to support key regional partners in the Indo-Pacific to deter China,

$2.5 billion to support U.S.

Central Command operations in the Red Sea, $2.3 billion for Ukrainians and other refugees displaced, 400 million for the non-profit security grant program, which helps non-profits and places of worship to make insecurity enhancements.

Uh, uh

it would also require the Department of Homeland Security to nearly shut down the border.

Now, listen to this.

Nearly shut down the border.

What does that mean exactly?

Well, it means that we're not going to shut down the border, but nearly do it.

Now, not today,

but that they can do that if the migrant crossers increase more than 5,000 a day on any given week, or if the average daily encounters reach

4,000 people a day in a one-week span.

So if there's 4,000 people

for six days, they can't shut down the border.

Sorry, they can't nearly shut down the border.

At a rate of 5,000 illegal immigrants entering the country, that would mean more than 1.8 million illegal aliens would be coming into the country every year.

But remember, I haven't gotten to the nearly shut down the border.

This is their solution today.

To let an additional 2 million people just come across our border.

Okay, we're a little sick of the 4 million, I think.

We're a little sick.

Let's slow it down.

Let's just do 2 million.

Oh,

okay.

Now, Chris Murphy from the Democrat from the great state of Connecticut, and I mean that being here, it is a lovely, lovely state.

What they've done with the trash is just wonderful.

It really is.

A requirement of the president to funnel asylum claims to the land ports of entry when more than 5,000 people cross a day.

This is what Murphy is saying yesterday on X.

The border never closes, but claims must be processed at the ports.

This allows for a more and more orderly, humane asylum processing system.

So, got that?

So, if it's more than 5,000 a day,

then they have to be processed at the ports.

That's the

nearly closing the border.

Oh,

okay.

Well, that sounds really

bad.

This is what, you know, Lankford came out and he was like, you know, everybody's saying this is much worse than what we said it was going to be.

I challenge the people to come up to me and tell me what is worse.

Well, you know, he's kind of right.

Remember when the media was saying, oh, it has none of that stuff in the bill.

That's an outrage.

That is disinformation that those things are in the bill.

Yeah.

Langford, it's probably not worse.

You've confirmed everything that we said was in it that you all were saying, wait until you find out what's in the bill, because that's not in the bill.

It's in the bill.

Oh, gosh, you know, with people like Langford,

who needs friends?

Seriously, who

needs friends?

I'm a little confused.

I'm going to have to get with the speaker's team

to find out what part would be worse than what we had expected based on the actual text.

It's not worse.

It is the text that we said it was and you said it wasn't.

Oh, my God.

Stu, can you just take over for a sec?

Because I'm going to have an aneurysm over here in the corner.

Yeah, I mean, on that point, you're totally right.

Like, there was this big pushback from these people who are negotiating it, Lankford being key in

this room, saying, oh, you guys are just acting off of rumors.

You're acting off of internet posts.

You're acting off of

false reporting about what's in this bill.

I would never allow this to be in this bill.

And then they release the text of the bill.

And I mean, to the number,

almost every single part of it is exactly what was reported.

I mean, it's bizarre.

I will say, when you get to the point of talking about it being worse, I would include this in the worst description.

Tell me if you agree with this.

There is a provision in the bill that would allow the president.

Now, you might be,

you might not know, but Joe Biden is currently the president of the United States.

Okay, so this would be under his authority.

There's a provision in the bill that would allow the president to suspend the shutdown authority.

It says, quote, it authorizes the president to suspend the border emergency on an emergency basis for up to 45 days if it's in the national interest.

So what do you think happens when we get across this 5,000 barrier?

Every time he at least suspends it for 45 days, and God only knows if he can do it consecutively and in perpetuity.

That's probably what would wind up happening, though I'm not sure about that detail.

I mean, look, Glenn, you know, you look at the bill and there are things in here that theoretically would make the situation a little bit better.

I mean,

there's asylum improvements that I think could be part of an eventual bill.

They say that.

Yeah, I mean, why even discuss?

It's a non-starter because of things like this.

According to the bill, if you cross the border illegally, you get arrested, and then Department of Homeland Security, they decide that you're entitled to protection, they're now able to give you

automatic employment authorization.

Yeah, until you have your asylum hearing.

Now, apart from the parts, in addition to that, they say the asylum hearings are going to come faster, so no more 2032 court dates.

Do you believe that?

I mean,

this is the problem.

I don't believe that.

Now, if they say it's going to supposedly bring this down to months instead of years for asylum, that would be a legitimate improvement as what we see.

I don't think it's by judges.

I think it's by the Department of Homeland Security, is it not?

I think it's by the U.S.

Citizenship and Immigration Services.

It kind of shifts a lot of it, at least over there.

But again, do I believe that they're going to actually accomplish that?

No.

They also have tougher tougher asylum requirements.

And like,

this could be a legitimate one, Glenn.

But like, think about this in a real country that does the things they say they do, right?

They say they would include three bars to eligibility, okay?

Number one, criminal history.

So if you have criminal history, no asylum for you.

Okay, totally legitimate.

Number two, could they have resettled in another country on the way to the U.S.?

Oh, yeah, okay.

If you actually implemented that, that would be a great improvement.

Number three, could they have resettled somewhere else in their own country?

Okay, perfect.

Like, yeah, that would be a legitimate thing to do.

That would be an improvement over our system, and it would be a rational way to decipher these claims.

No one believes they're going to do those things.

No one believes that this is actually going to happen.

When they're ignoring dozens and dozens of other laws that are already on the books, why would we believe they would suddenly just implement this one part of this one law that would improve the system?

And they have no trust from the people, and they have no rational reason to be trusted.

And that is a bigger part of this problem.

Not to mention, they put in there that

the U.S., the president of the United States, can just suspend the authority.

So, like, at some points, they say, well, it's required that they shut the border down.

And then at the same time, say, well, he's got a 45-day window to supplement this at any point.

So, like,

yeah, his emergency power is to

shut this bill down at any time.

If he feels that it's an emergency and in our best interest, he can shut this bill down.

We all thought he was saying he needed emergency power to shut the border down.

He's not.

And their response is, well, he's nearly shutting it down.

Right.

Only 1.8 million people can come across the border in a year.

Now,

they are pushing back against that number.

The way they're wording it is that it doesn't mean that they're allowed in.

5,000 are not allowed in.

They are saying that single adults would be detained

and families would be released via ATD, Glenn.

Alternatives to detention.

Ah!

A little old ATD going on.

But of course,

to me, even if you're detaining them in the United States, you're still letting them into the United States.

And we're feeding and clothing and caring for people that we shouldn't be feeding, caring, or clothing.

And I mean, this is just insane.

The expansion of the detention capacity is only 16,000.

So again, this is a few days under this system.

Where else?

Then where do people go again?

We're going to be in the same crisis situation all over again.

All right, back in just a second with more.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Patriot Mobile.

If you haven't made the switch to Patriot Mobile yet, today is the day.

So you're never, you get the same service.

You get the same coverage.

You get better customer service.

You get a better price.

Please, this is the lowest level of ways you can help save your country.

Work with the people who actually are doing work, trying to fight all of this crap behind the scenes.

So I got a

text message from Tucker Carlson last night.

He is indeed in Russia, and

he'll tell you about it when he gets back.

But he is in Russia, and I got a lot to say about this later on in the program today.

All right, so in the bill, $118.28 billion national security supplemental package includes $60 billion support Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, $2.4 billion to support operations at the U.S.

Central Command and address combat expenditures related to the conflict in the Red Sea.

So far,

it looks like a war bill.

$10 billion in humanitarian assistance to provide food, water, shelter, medical care, and other essential services to Gaza and the West Bank, Ukraine, and other populations caught in conflict zones across the globe.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

That seems

relatively broad, doesn't it?

$4.83 billion to support key regional partners in the Indo-Pacific and deter aggression by the Chinese government.

$2.3 billion to continue support for Ukrainians displaced by Putin's war of aggression and other refugees fleeing persecution.

Then

we get to the border.

Wait, so hold on.

All of that

in the emergency border bill, and we haven't even gotten to the border yet.

Oh yeah, there's a lot We'll give it to you coming up in a minute.

Stand by.

Glenn, back.

Wait until you hear how easy it is for you to be deported too.

Woo!

Air cracking down.

Daniel wrote in about his dog experiences with Rough Greens.

He says, Finnegan, 12-year-old husky lab, who used to sleep most of the day.

We had to spike his food every day with a little bit of cheese.

Even then, he would eat most of the cheese and not a lot of the food, sometimes for days.

I was a bit skeptical about ordering rough greens, but I gave it a try.

A month or so in, Finnegan is incredibly active and he runs and plays with other dogs.

He even chases rabbits and squirrels again.

I wish I would have discovered this product years ago.

Daniel, I got to tell you, that is exactly what happened.

I only fed it to Uno because I just wanted him to eat his food.

And then I saw all these amazing benefits.

I know that's not the way they sell it, but that's the truth at least for my dog he wouldn't eat rough greens not a dog food it's a supplement developed by naturopathic dr dennis black you sprinkle it on the dog's food remember brown food is dead food you need the green stuff rough greens r-u-f-f greens.com slash beck rough greens.com slash beck get the trial bag for free you just pay for shipping 833 glenn33 head over to blazetv.com slash glenn use the promo code glenn30 and save 30 bucks off your subscription to Blaze TV.

Well, you know, it's interesting and so very, very sad.

Couldn't happen to the nicer people.

CNN's morning show has been canceled.

They should just go dark in the morning.

You know what I mean?

Are you sure about that, Glenn?

I mean, in the morning, I mean, shouldn't they just consider it for the whole 24-hour schedule?

Well, I was just thinking of the slogan, which is appropriate even today.

Darkness in the morning.

I think

that would be good.

You know, CNN, if you're looking to rocket your ratings, you could put this show on just as a simulcast

and you'd rock the ratings.

Now, the most heard thing from your newsroom would be, oh, pluck out thine eyes.

So you'd be all eyeless reporters, but they couldn't be worse if they were eyeless.

So you might consider it.

I'm going to put the possibilities at, if you want to do another bet on that one for $1,000, I'm willing to take the no side.

Yeah, yeah.

Let's see.

So

not only does this bill codify 1.5 million illegal border crossings into law, you've got to call your senator right now.

And Oklahoma, oh, I feel bad for you.

Really?

Your guy in the Republican Party, he negotiated this?

Wow.

Is that a surprise to you?

Not only does it codify a million and a half illegal border crossings and make it law, but the border emergency that automatically gets implemented at 5,000 crossings a day in a week can be overturned by Joe Biden.

Oh.

And then it also locks in all green card giveaways through 2030.

So that's another added boy.

I bet that was hard for Lankford to get, don't you think, Stu?

Ooh, he probably.

Here's the limiting part of the new border emergency authority.

It's quite amazing.

Okay, so remember, border emergency authority, if it's over 5,000 a day, then the president, should he deem, can say, We're shutting this.

No,

we're almost shutting this down, which means those,

you know, extra 2,000 people just have to go to ports of entry so then they can, you know, just go through the standard process at the ports of entry.

That's great.

Now,

he can

almost shut the border down

for 180 days after the first two years of this bill,

which is

kind of like saying

we're going to make them enforce the border when it gets really bad, but only for six months out of the year.

And then I believe there's a 45-day clause as well.

Yeah, the 45-day clause is they can suspend, once the border,

quote-unquote, almost shutdown, kicks in, They can suspend the almost shutdown for 45 days at the president's whim.

Basically, the only standard he has to hit on that is he feels that it is in the national interest, which of course means anything.

Right.

Yeah, I know.

So, let me ask you this too.

Who is organizing,

we've proven it by showing you the actual maps and everything else.

Who's organizing the people in South and Central America to get to our border?

Starts with an N,

ends with o and g o

yes

okay all right public private partnerships right it's the thing of the future uh i like to call it fascism

this authorized nine hundred and thirty three million dollars to go to fema

uh and it goes immediately for ngos

and towns Another 350 million authorizes only if ICE has increased in detention beds to 46,000 and has hired two more deportation officers.

If the Border Patrol has hired 200 more officers and if USCIS hires another 800 asylum

officers, then

they're going to get that money, okay?

Then another 116 is available to FEMA if ICE has conducted 1,500 removal flights since the bill was enacted.

So they get a little bonus there.

And if you're looking, you know, at the

$1.4 billion in funding available to FEMA for disbursement to NGOs and municipalities,

it's great.

It's great.

They're going to give those

George Soros NGOs

as long as border securing hiring and deportation provisions are hit.

So we got that going for us.

We're only going to give money to people who are trying to destroy our country if they hit the other

benchmarks, which is great.

Hey, if you get deported

twice within a year,

you can't come back for a whole year.

And

I think that's cruel, quite honestly.

So, wait a minute.

I've crossed illegally twice, and then they caught me and deported me twice.

When I'm coming in for the third time and they catch me,

I can't come in for a whole year?

What?

Wow, that's unfair.

That's really

unfair.

And I appreciate your call for people to call their congresspeople and senators, and it would not be the worst use of your time to do so.

No, not at all.

However, what I will say is, even if you do not call,

there is almost no chance of this bill passing.

I mean, there is

Johnson is already saying it's dead on arrival.

Yeah, but it has to be dead in the Senate, too.

It can't pass the Senate.

I would, yeah, that would be, I mean, that doesn't, of course, if it just passes the Senate, it won't become law necessarily, but still, you're right.

I mean, it's a good thing.

People should be making stands on it, and I think they will.

This is the type of thing that will get, you know, senators who stand up for it primaried, which is an important outcome of this, to know which people think this is a good idea, I think is an important outcome of this.

Johnson is saying in the House side, they're not even going to put it up for a vote.

Scalise is saying the same thing.

They're not even going to get a vote on this.

So, hopefully, this is dead on arrival and is not a realistic thing.

And it's funny because, Glenn, this is really

the you could make an argument.

This is the optimal time to negotiate something just like this.

We're not.

No, I'm serious.

No,

there's an emergency.

Why would what?

This would be the time of pressure?

Perfect time, right?

But, like, we've had these situations before where there are are times that pressure builds up and there are certain dynamics that go on.

And Republicans try to get things out of these negotiations, right?

And so

we like to think

they aren't going to.

But like a good example of this is a government shutdown.

The government's about to shut down.

We know there's a funding thing that's about to happen.

They need money to open up the government.

And so Republicans say, well, we're not going to vote for that unless you give us X, Y, and Z.

And then what happens at the the end of that process, almost every single time, basically they get nothing.

They cave.

Or maybe they get something super surfacey that doesn't really do anything.

And the reason for that is, in reality, the Republicans don't want the government to shut down.

The thing that they're holding hostage is not something they actually want.

Right.

So they're sitting here saying, well, you know what?

We're going to hold this thing open.

But they know it becomes a political liability if the government is shut down for too long.

And they also have lots of friends and and themselves that are dependent on government funding.

So they don't actually want that to happen.

The weird thing with the Ukraine issue is it's in that sweet spot where,

regardless of what you think of this,

Republicans are kind of like shoulder shrug on it.

They don't, I think they could deal with spending another $100 billion and giving it to Ukraine, or they could not.

I think they don't really care.

So they have good enough.

Some do, some do.

Some do.

Right.

Some really oppose it.

Some really approve of it.

Obviously, the Nikki Haley

side of the Republican Party really wants this funding to go through.

But as a party, they're kind of like could go, I think, either way on Ukraine funding, which puts them in a unique negotiating position.

They can hold this hostage, and if they lose it, they lose it.

If they win it, they...

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

So are you saying that the left has put the Republicans into a position where really it's a win-win for them?

It's almost hard to fail, right?

Yeah.

So

then you go to this negotiation and you realize in that situation, which is an optimal negotiating situation,

this is the best they could come up with.

Like, this is the thing they came up with when everything was in their favor.

In the invasion of our country.

Right.

The only time that we have seen anything like this in human history,

this is what they come up with.

And this is the other side of it is part of this, right?

In a government shutdown negotiation, Democrats can say, fine, keep it shut down.

I don't care.

Fine, because we know we'll win the politics of that, right?

On the Democratic side.

The Democrats this time realize they're losing the politics of this.

They know the border is a massive story for them and a huge problem.

So they know they have to do something or at least show they're doing something.

And still, with all of that, this is all Republicans were able to achieve.

That's it.

That is it.

Now,

let me just say this: Republicans, do not blame Donald Trump for losing this election.

Don't.

No.

Don't.

I mean, he can do his own part on that.

But one of the reasons why people are going to say, what difference does it make?

Because you can get somebody like Donald Trump who's willing to do things, but we don't trust that you won't flip sides.

and stop him.

You won't flip sides.

He will have to do it all through executive order.

And there's a lot of conservatives like me that don't want that.

But what choice are you giving us?

What choice are you giving us?

You're worthless as a party.

Worthless.

And by the way, I was just going to say quickly on the politics of this, Glenn.

You know, Donald Trump is quite aware of those politics as well and is outwardly telling everyone he is the reason this bill is going to die.

He's been telling people that for behind the scenes for a long time and publicly for a couple of weeks.

He wants people to know, hey, this crappy deal, I'm the one that stopped it.

And that's another reason for you to be confident it is not going to pass.

Because when he's talking like that, there's no way the Republican Party is going to come and come.

No way.

And let me tell you, the people who stand against it should receive our praise.

Should receive our praise.

They should be just as much.

You know, Mike Lee is fighting this thing like crazy.

I'm sorry, I just spent the weekend with him, but Mike Lee is fighting this thing like crazy.

And he should too say, it's because of me and this guy and this guy and this guy and Donald Trump that stopped this thing.

By the way, let me just give you a little tip.

Okay, this is,

I don't do any car companies, you know, but I do care about your financial situation.

So let me just give you this tip.

If you're thinking about buying a new car or a used car, do not let Mitch McConnell or any of the Republican leadership negotiate, okay?

Because what he'll do is he'll say, I gotta go say what.

And then he'll go back into the back room with the salesperson and he's gonna make an incredible deal.

And then he'll come out and go,

I got

your deal is really good.

And you'll say, wow, this really sucks.

And it's taken you months.

I've been sitting out here for months.

Yeah, well,

you know, it's too late for you to back out.

You got to sign it right now.

Sign it right now.

Sign it right now.

And then it'll get to the point to where

he'll tell you that you really didn't even need the car to begin with.

But you just need to sign a contract.

Sign a contract.

It says you'll never own a car ever, ever again, at least for many years.

You'll never own a car.

Wait, what?

That's the way this negotiation is working out

right now in Washington.

Don't be fooled.

Back in just a second with more.

First, let me tell you about Pre-Born.

We are fighting a spiritual battle as we protect the most innocent among us, babies in their mother's wombs.

Pre-born stands in the front lines of this battle, and the network of clinics are positioned in the highest abortion areas, often next to abortion mills, where an unspeakable evil takes place every single day.

Pre-born offers God's love and precious

and God's love and life to all of these children.

And they also offer it to the moms.

This,

look,

pro-life people have gotten a bad name because the left has been able to position and say you don't care about the baby after you save its life and you don't care about the moms.

Oh yes, we do.

Oh yes, we do.

I want you to check out pre-born.

because that's exactly what we do.

We care about the baby.

Saving the baby's life through an ultrasound costs 28 bucks.

Then, after the baby's born, they're there for two years for the mom and the child.

Postnatal care, all the way to clothing, new clothing, all of this stuff.

It's amazing what they do.

Please, you want to heal the country?

We have to care about everybody.

So I need to tell you on radio broadcast to make sure you go and get Saturday's podcast from me.

It's episode 208.

It's about the

starvation that is coming for the world because of what is happening.

You know, I don't know if you're paying attention to the farmers at all

overseas, but the farmers are really upset.

And now people in Europe are starting to wake up, but we are still asleep at the switch.

They're slightly ahead of us.

And things are happening with our farmers and our ranchers and our farmland that if we don't wake up soon, America will starve.

And so will the world.

And the ranchers are already waking people up in Europe.

We're behind.

In fact, they fight the woke mob.

For the past 10 years, they've offered nationwide coverage, access to all three of the major networks,

equipping you with the exact same coverage you've always had, but without sending your money to leftist causes.

So if you like free speech, religious freedom, I don't know, the military, Second Amendment, switch to Patriot Mobile.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Well, on the surface,

everything looks good.

For instance, we passed an Inflation Reduction Act.

Oh.

Well, it didn't have anything to do with it.

Exactly like this border emergency.

That bill has nothing to do with it.

That's a War Powers Act.

We also need to talk about what's happening with war.

Kind of seems like we're getting deeper and deeper all over the world.

And

the jobs report.

Oh my gosh, it was a blockbuster jobs report.

Did you hear that?

The economy is doing fine.

It's great.

It's wonderful.

It's fabulous.

Is it?

Is it?

Let's look into the numbers of that job report.

Something that your friends won't know about.

Nobody in the mainstream media will tell you because they're busy carrying buckets of water.

But it is very important you actually look at the numbers to know what's really happening under the hood of your vehicle.

Let's do that in 60 seconds.

Let me tell you about American Financing first, how they've been helping neighbors save money for 25 years.

Last year alone, they saved their customers that come from this program an average of $854 a month.

All they did was help them tap into their homes equity to pay off the high interest debt.

Some of these cases, man, I talk to these guys from time to time.

I say, what are the listeners going through?

What are you hearing?

And they're people that are...

Just like you that are maybe now, I'm going to lose my home.

I'm going to lose everything I have.

I can't pay the credit card bills.

This year, maybe it's your turn.

Mortgage rates are in the five right now.

That means it's a great time to call American Financing.

And in 10 minutes, you could be going to a much more peaceful day.

All you have to do is call them.

They don't charge.

They have no upfront or hidden fees.

They've helped thousands of people from this audience.

They have 7,000 Google reviews and 4.7 star rating.

Check it out for yourself.

I want you to go to my American Financing, American Financing.net.

I

want to talk to you about first the jobs report.

Last hour, we went into the

Senate bill that you've got to call your senators and tell them not to pass this.

I know it's dead on arrival, according to the Speaker of the House, but it can't be passed in the Senate either.

Don't let any of this slip through.

If you want some more information, we'll give you more information later on in the program.

But if you missed the first hour of the broadcast, you can find it wherever you get your podcasts.

Today's podcast will have all of the information you need on that.

Now, let me go back to Friday because there was something that came out last week and everybody was saying, oh my gosh,

the jobs report?

Oh, America's working like nobody's business.

Stu, give me some of the headlines that you found over the weekend on this jobs report.

Headlines, yeah, I mean, one of the big things you hear about

it was incredibly great.

It was wonderful.

The economy is wonderful.

And this is sort of a peering into what we're going to be seeing over the next

eight or nine months as we get closer to the election.

Like, let me give you this example from New York Times today.

Just listen to the framing of this.

Why are Americans wary while the economy is healthy?

Look at Nevada.

Economic shocks over two decades, combined with reliance on volatile casinos, have undermined confidence despite an economy that's bustling.

Now there's a couple facts stated there, right?

Yeah.

That the economy is bustling.

It's bustling.

That's a fact.

It is bustling.

And it is healthy.

Now, why the question here is not what's going on with the economy.

The question is what's going on with people's minds as if why that indicates why they don't understand the economy is bustling.

Why don't they understand the

economy is healthy?

It's not a question about whether the economy is healthy or not.

No, no, no.

It is easy.

This is why they are going after disinformation, like the information I'm going to give to you next.

They'll say this is disinformation, and you're too stupid to understand that the economy is bustling.

You're going to see these kinds of headlines all the way up to the election, okay?

All the way up to the election.

They've got to convince Americans that it's just them.

All right.

So let's look at this report.

They reported last week that in January, we unexpectedly added 353,000 jobs.

That's the most since January 23,

when it was

482,000.

Double the forecast of 185,000 jobs.

Last month, they say we,

my gosh, it was 353.

And most people expected only 185,000 jobs jobs that were created.

Okay?

Now,

let's look into it.

The average hourly earnings spiked from 4.1 to 4.5.

That's the highest since last September.

They spiked.

Okay, now

let's look at this for just a second.

Did people get a raise?

Did the hourly earnings actually go up because of actual wages?

No.

It's a trick.

It's a trap.

They actually rose because the Bureau of Labor Statistics decided to slash the number of estimated hours that everybody was working.

They said the hours went from 34.3

to

34.1,

which may not sound like a lot, but that's why your hourly looks like it's going up because they changed that one metric.

And if that metric is true, the last time the work week was this low was when the economy was shut down because of COVID.

Okay?

So that doesn't sound healthy.

In January, the BLS conducted the annual re-benchmarking and update of seasonal adjustment factors.

Long story short, here, what was until December a decline in jobs has now been miraculously transformed into gains.

Consider this.

Before the revision, the average monthly job gain in 2021 was largely unchanged.

And while the average monthly gain in 2022 was revised lower,

this was purposely goal seeked to make make 2023 appear stronger.

And indeed, the average monthly increase in 2023 has been revised from $225,000 to $255,000,

which would be great,

which would be great

if only it wasn't for the almost

entirely due to the

latest choice of seasonal adjustments.

Ready?

The Biden administration numbers are are now clearly rising, even as the impartial ADP, which directly logs employment numbers at the company level and is far more accurate because they're actually looking at the payroll.

It shows an accelerating slowdown

seasonal adjustments.

The January print was all about seasonals because while the seasonally adjusted payrolls was up 353,000,

the unadjusted

was down 2.635 million.

That's 3 million jobs different.

So

here's, let me break it, 10% error rate, just a 10% error rate in the seasonal adjustment.

That's roughly where it always falls.

It would wipe out the entire gain and make January increase a decline.

Then again, this is the case with every January jobs report

because the actual change in jobs in the first month of the year, this year, is down anywhere between 2.5 and 3 million.

The latest divergence between the establishment payrolls and then the much more accurate household actual unemployment or employment survey, the BLS claims 353,000 payrolls were added, but the household survey that counts the number of actually employed workers this time dropped by 31,000.

Okay, wait a minute, wait a minute.

So, which one is right?

This means that the payroll series hit all-time highs every month since December 2020.

The level of unemployment has barely budged in the last year.

Worse,

this has opened up the

number of unemployed or employed workers.

If the numbers are true, the way they've adjusted everything,

the number of employed workers would need to soar by 9 million to catch up to what the payroll claims is the actual employment situation.

BLS reports that in January 2024, the U.S.

had 133.1 million full-time jobs and 27.9 million part-time jobs.

That's great until you look back one year and find that in February 23, the U.S.

had 132.2 million full-time jobs or more than it does a year later.

So, wait, we had 133.1 million full-time jobs last

January, but this January, it's supposed to be great.

But last January we had 133.2.

Somehow or another, we've lost some jobs.

Where does it go?

And by the way, all of the job growth since then has been part time jobs.

Part-time jobs have increased by 870,000.

And all the jobs?

Yes, they're part-time.

But here's something even better.

The number of native-born workers is down again.

It has slid by a massive 560,000.

Add this to the December data.

We get a near record of 1.9 million in a plunge from native born workers in the last two

months.

Two million native born workers have lost their jobs.

And the job creation,

all of it in the last four years has been exclusively foreign born workers.

Zero job creation for native born workers since July of twenty eighteen.

So tell me we're getting healthier.

I don't think we are.

I think people are working part time jobs a lot more.

And people who were born here in America are not getting jobs because all of the job growth has been with non-native born workers.

Oh, you're only saying that because you hate.

No, I'm only saying it because that's what the numbers say, period.

All right.

I'm hesitating to think if I should take a...

Well, let me say this first.

No, let me take a break.

Let me take a break.

First, I don't want to say anything because I've got a million things things on my mind today.

Let me just take a quick break and we'll come back and

give you some more information that you need to know.

Lear Capital is our sponsor.

Lear Capital is a company that I did business with when I was a listener of Rush.

This is before we have a...

you know, businesses change and business changes.

And so I have a new gold sponsor, and it's Lear Capital.

But this is the company that Rush was with for years and years and years.

And as business changed this year, we were fortunate to bring in Lear Capital is where I bought my first gold.

We were talking about having Lear Capital as a sponsor,

I don't know, in 2002, but I was a nobody and Rush was an everybody.

And I really enjoyed Goldline.

I thought they were very, very great.

But business is business, and we have Lear Capital with us.

Now,

I want you to understand that Lear Capital is the first place that I bought my gold

back in the early 2000s.

It is quadrupled since then.

And I just found out that the person that took my gold order then,

because I always call companies and

I order things or I do things without them knowing that it's me.

So I know you're going to get the same kind of treatment that I would get.

And that person that took my order back then is still working for the company.

Lear has prepared me for the coming insanity and prepared millions of people for the coming insanity.

Over $3 billion in trusted transactions, thousands of five-star reviews, and 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee.

Lear is the precious metal leaders that you can trust.

Make sure your family is safe with gold or silver from Lear Capital.

10 Second Station Idea.

All right, let me tell you a little bit about something that I told you last week, South Dakota Bill.

I mentioned it a week ago, exactly last week.

And I told you that the banking systems would come out and just with every gun, they'd come out

blazing.

Let me give you

an excerpt from the Epoch Times.

Important laws in all 50 states have been added to state codes over the past three decades, specifically with provisions dealing with Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the UCC.

These laws, drafted and propagated by the influential Uniform Law Commission in tandem with powerful banking lobbyists, were seemingly deliberately designed to revoke Americans' private property rights, especially those related to investment securities, such as those held in IRA and 401k accounts.

You remember when they said, you will own nothing and you will be happy?

I thought, how do you get a country that is used to all this private property just losing it or giving it away?

Well, one way is to tax it out.

Another way is to just lose it in the stock market or spend it all because of inflation.

And then there's the other part of just seizing wealth.

That's this part.

Again, quoting the Epoch Times,

essentially the world's largest financial institutions, quietly preparing for an event of a major financial meltdown, successfully lobbied state legislatures to change the way that collateral is held under state laws.

Among other things, these efforts have been given creditors in the form of too big to fail banks and other

powerful financial interests priority claim over all of the wealth stored in investment securities, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-rated funds, 401k accounts, IRA accounts, and other types of security.

So, what does this mean?

All 50 states changed Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

All 50 states, so your state, no matter where you live,

so that when you buy a share of stock through an intermediary,

this is stockbrokers and investment managers such as Fidelity and Merrill Lynch.

They actually own the security investments because they're responsible for holding on to them.

But they actually own them.

You don't.

Okay?

The stock broker or the brokerage house or the intermediary owns the stocks you think you own.

That means you, the purchaser, don't own anything.

And the rule applies to stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and other common forms of investment, including investments held in retirement accounts such as 401k and IRA accounts.

This is what they mean by you will own nothing.

It takes it to a whole new understanding.

The code also allows for these stockbrokers and other intermediaries holding your investments to use them as collateral in their own financial agreements.

Okay?

So they go bankrupt and

you think, oh, well, you're going to be okay.

Well, no, the stock you think you own can be taken by another big financial institution who's owed money by the intermediary, the stockbroker that was holding your stocks, the bankrupt guy.

Now, brokers carry insurance, similar to the FDIC, supposed to bail out customers who lose $500,000 or less of securities when a broker goes bankrupt, but that is wildly underfunded, doesn't have the cash to save investors if there is a widespread event.

So here's what happened.

On Monday last week, I told you about the South South Dakota bill, House Bill 1199.

It does a couple of important things.

It restores property ownership, restores jurisdiction in

the state of South Dakota.

South Dakota should be fixing this, but

a bump has come into the road.

And he looks off an awful lot like the Monopoly man.

I'll give you more information on this, tell you what you can do in South Dakota, but it has to be done in your state.

A good night's sleep is really something you can never get enough of.

Last night, it has been just

a hair-raising weekend for our family.

I was in Georgia on Friday.

It was supposed to be someplace else tomorrow.

And

everything is up in the air because of a family emergency.

And last night, my wife and I were in bed and we were talking.

And she was like, I'm never going to be able to sleep.

I said, I'm not either.

We took a relief factor sleep, the two of us, and we were both out.

I think she was snoring before I was, but it wasn't long after I was out as well.

If you have difficulty sleeping at all or you just can't turn your brain off sometimes, this is, you'll sleep soundly, you'll wake up feeling refreshed.

It's relief factor sleep.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We were talking about an update that I gave you last week.

I told you about a South Dakota bill

that is now massively under assault from the bank lobbyists and special interests in South Dakota.

This is something that has to happen in your state as well.

In South Dakota, the Republican leadership is buckling, but you need to be their spine.

What this is, is a fight for private property, believe it or not.

Private property.

Right now, if you have any money in stock that you bought through a,

you know, through an intermediary, like Fidelity or Merrill Lynch, you don't legally own that.

So if any one of these big financial institutions go out, that's collateral for their debt.

You don't own it.

It's just like the bank.

You don't actually own what's in your savings account.

That can be used as collateral for the bank.

You lose.

This wipes the average person out if there is a huge problem.

I warn you, this is going to be told that you are hearing nothing but disinformation.

it isn't true i just ask who has a better track record me

or the mainstream media so this bill in south dakota allows you to keep ownership of your investment and all of your savings regardless of whether they're they're in an intermediary like fidelity or mary lynch Two, it restores the jurisdiction in the state of South Dakota.

This would put jurisdiction back into the state, which is hard to believe.

But currently, if you live in South Dakota and you have a dispute over the ownership of your investments, say J.P.

Morgan Chase,

that will be solved in, I'm assuming J.P.

Morgan Chase is New York or Delaware.

So Delaware or a New York court is the place you will have to go.

to argue your case if you live in South Dakota.

And how do you think that's going to go?

The legislators in South Dakota should not allow the big financial institutions to put their customers at risk, but the Republicans are buckling right now in South Dakota.

They are going to vote and they should tell you how they're going to vote in advance, but this will tell you everything because any legislature in South Dakota that votes

against you, the citizen, on this, they're either working for the people of South Dakota and the constituents they represent, or they're working for the special interests of someone else, the financial institutions that are all too big to fail.

That's the only choice here.

On Wednesday, that's this coming Wednesday, February 7th, the State Affairs Committee is voting on this bill.

It's HB 1199.

If this bill fails in committee, then the Uniform Commercial Code will continue and you are at at risk.

To protect the people of South Dakota, you

need HB 199.

It is the Small Investors Protection Act.

It will protect South Dakotan investors and ensure that jurisdiction is restored to South Dakota where it should have always been.

Now remember, this is not just about South Dakota.

This is in every single state.

All 50 states have the same dangerous law in place.

Every state will need to update its laws if you are to be protected, the individual, from losing everything in a financial crash.

Here's what you need to do.

First, if you live in South Dakota, you need to call the members of the House State Affairs Committee right now.

You can find their names online.

They have to hear from you today and tomorrow or early Wednesday.

Also, call Governor Christy Noam's office as well or email.

Make sure they vote in support of HB 1199, the Small Investors Protection Act.

HB 1199, Small Investors Protection Act.

They need to know that the people of South Dakota are watching this vote and they want their property rights protected.

The one that really needs to hear this the most is the House Speaker Stevens and the House Majority Leader Will Mortensen.

They're playing games with this and siding right now with the big banks over you, the citizens of the state.

They don't want you, the people, to know what is happening here.

And they will claim disinformation, but it is not.

This is true.

They will use that to thwart so many people and then it will

go back and pass this Wednesday and nobody will ever think about it again until it's too late.

Okay, so call.

If you live in any other state, I want you to call your legislator, your state legislator, and ask them to take a hard look at HB 199 in South Dakota.

Every single state must pass a law like this.

The fight is focused right now on South Dakota, but that's going to change very soon.

The people that I work with are on this.

uh nationwide and it's a fight that we cannot afford to lose You have to stop it before the next crisis begins.

Okay,

let's just talk a little bit about

our strike on

our retaliatory strikes that happened over the weekend on the Islamic resistance in Iraq.

We struck, I think they said 82 targets on Saturday, but that's not true.

It's only seven targets and 87

or 82 strikes in those seven areas.

So let's say there's an airfield that's one target, but it has, you know, 22 targets in that airfield.

Okay.

I don't know why

we gave Iran a week.

to do this.

You can't tell me that it takes a week.

Really?

They don't have a plan for Iran?

I mean, that's a problem.

Why did they give him a week?

And what exactly are we doing here?

What is the goal of this?

Because we're also giving in the so-called border bill, which is not a border bill.

Oh, God, I said this during the Inflation Reduction Act, and nobody listened, and they still passed the damn thing.

This is not a border bill.

This is a war bill.

This is a war bill, period.

There's more money for war and refugees and everything else in this bill than there is on the border.

But we are giving in the border bill, so-called, the war bill, we are giving Ukraine

$60 billion, $14 billion to

Israel and $10 billion

to Gaza and Hamas.

Oh, who are we giving it to?

Well, we'll probably run that through the UN, which we know exactly what they're doing.

What do we do?

We're funding everybody on all sides.

It makes no sense.

God, we are just suicidal.

I'm sorry, Stu, I'm going to have another aneurysm.

Can you just

suicidal is an interesting summary of the West

overall?

Yes, we seem to be going down that road

with extreme abandon.

You're right.

I mean, I think it's

the border stuff is only included in the bill because they want

the other stuff for Ukraine.

They want the cash for Ukraine

secondarily for Israel, I suppose, but basically for Ukraine.

And this is their

supposed

flexibility on their border rules.

And it's interesting because, of course, the far left also won't vote for this.

So you'll have this situation where they're trying to cobble together the center left and center right to come up with some sort of voting block that will get this thing through.

Going to be difficult, if not impossible, for a multitude of reasons, but it just shows where their priorities are, right?

Like, I mean, it shows what they really want to happen.

And I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, Glenn, but like Zelensky is announcing basically they have to reform the entire government because none of their war stuff is working.

They're just like, ah, you know, we need to kind of, we need a remix.

You know, this is, this just doesn't work as an acoustic.

We need a techno version.

And like, I don't think that that is some, it doesn't seem like the situation you want to dump $100 billion

into.

Let me just say that.

You know, one of the things that we're doing is we are paying for their entire government.

All of the government workers, you,

your tax paying dollar is going over to Ukraine.

We are funding a second government.

And that's not hyperbole.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Stu.

Hyperbole?

No, I don't think so.

I mean, it's, I mean, it's, you know,

not necessarily the most, the way they would describe it, but yes, this is the same thing.

No, but it is, but that's what we're doing.

It does seem to be the realism of the situation.

But that's what we're doing.

It is, it is just nuts.

And

anybody who tells you,

you know, the Jamie Dimon thing over at the WEF has bothered me for a while.

There's a couple of things that have bothered me.

One, Jamie Dimon coming out, and then Al Gore coming out and saying, you know, I really like the Trump supporters.

I don't think we should say bad things about the Trump supporters.

And Jamie Dimon.

coming out and saying, you know, Trump wasn't really all that bad.

Where have you been, Jamie?

Where have you been?

Now, there's two reasons for these kinds of switches.

There's one, Jamie Dimon sees over the horizon and goes, none of this is good for the banking system.

We're going to lose the gold standard.

None of this is good.

And maybe we should take a look at Donald Trump.

Or he's hedging his bet and thinking Donald Trump is going to win.

And there's got to be somebody on the inside, maybe at the Treasury Department, maybe I could say nice things things about him and become the head of Treasury so I can keep this train running on the tracks it's already on.

I don't know.

Al Gore comes out and says these things.

They are afraid.

But what you're seeing is, remember when I told you that their whole thing was restoring trust?

I talked to some people this weekend that were actually there, and I said, I have to ask you, restoring trust,

whose trust are they trying to restore?

I said, I haven't said this on the air yet because it's just a theory, but I get the feeling that they're not trying to restore trust between us and the people.

It's trust in the elite and in the program that people are starting to peel off up at the top levels.

And they're saying, no, no, no, we all have to trust each other.

This is going to work.

We got to stay together.

They both laughed and said, that's exactly what they mean.

They don't even think of us.

Okay?

We are just totally irrelevant.

They are in trouble.

We've got to stand together and use our common sense, be cool and collected and calm,

and finish the job we started.

Because we are winning.

They're freaking out.

We are winning.

But it is going to be, at the finish line, it will be a photo finish.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's the Berna launcher.

You heard me talking about Berna lately.

It is a less lethal pistol that you can rely on.

And when I saw that, I went, oh, less lethal.

So it could be.

Yeah, I suppose if you shoot it into somebody's eye, it's going to kill them.

But it is, I mean, because it packs a punch.

Kinetic rounds come out first.

If that's the way you load it, you load it any way you want.

Or tear gas.

They have pepper spray rounds, which I'm like, why?

Go for the tear gas, the tear gas rounds.

This will incapacitate somebody

in a six-foot range around that somebody for about 40 minutes.

This is something that you use first

before you have to pull your gun.

Government agencies and police officers all around the country are using this now because it will put somebody down down for quite some time.

It is made here in America.

In fact, it's made in one of my favorite towns in America, Fort Wayne, Indiana.

And you can get it now at burna, B-Y-R-N-A.com/slash Glenn in an exclusive 10% discount.

That's Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com/slash Glenn.

Are opinions weighing you down?

Call in and let it out:

888-727-B-E-C-K.

CK

this is the Glenn Beck program

Tucker Carlson texted me last night from

the former Soviet Union and whatever he is doing there, he's doing it today and tomorrow.

A lot of people heard about it.

And Bill Crystals of the world came out and said he shouldn't be allowed back into the country.

He's obviously a Putin supporter.

Did you say that to Megan Kelly when she sat down with Vladimir Putin?

Did you?

Did you say it about, what was it, Barbara Walters or Diane Sawyer that met with Saddam Hussein?

Have you ever said anything about, you know, how the New York Times and Time magazine just fell in love with Mussolini and Stalin and Hitler?

You say anything about that?

This is something journalists do.

And

the GOP and all those who are saying that Tucker is a traitor for going over and talking to...

You can argue he's not going to do a fair interview.

You don't think that he's the guy to give it?

Or what are you going to argue that back and forth all you want?

But to say he shouldn't be allowed to interview a world leader and a figure that is changing the world, I don't know.

I think you may be the fascist.

I'm just throwing that out there.

Yeah.

I mean,

this is what journalists are supposed to do.

They're supposed to go.

And now, look, I...

And every journalist would kill for an interview right now with Vladimir Putin.

Every single one of them.

Now, of course, the criticism is the reason why, and we don't know all the details, obviously, of this interview or whatever, but

one of the criticisms would be, you're right, a lot of people would like to talk to him, and he's choosing

to interview with Tucker because he thinks he's going to get a favorable interview.

Now, we will see if that's true or not if this interview occurs and we get to see it.

And you're right, you can be critical of the way he handles that interview.

You can be critical of the questions he asks.

You can say he's too tough

or the opposite.

You'll know.

But you'll know.

You'll know when you see it.

The interview.

You'll know when you see it.

He's a world leader.

Of course you should be talking to him.

You should be talking to all every dictator on earth should have journalists trying to get interviews with him all the time.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

I'd like Tucker David.

Yeah, yeah.

I'd like him to sit down with Joe Biden.

I mean, we should, like you said, sit down with.

That's too.

Wait a minute.

What?

The Glenn Beck program.

Have no room

to compromise.

We're gonna stand together

if we're gonna survive.

Stand up straight

and hold the line.

It's a new day, a time

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, we're going to get into politics.

We're going to get into the border bill, which is not a border bill.

It is a war bill.

We're going to talk about the economy some, and I want to start with some good news.

I saw this

yesterday kind of going viral.

Warren Smith, he's a filmmaker and a teacher.

He teaches classes and then posts them on YouTube.

He went viral for a recent interaction with a student that he was teaching when they said, how do you feel about J.K.

Rowling?

You have to listen to the way this guy handled this.

It was so good.

This is, this guy should be the teacher of the year just for this answer.

I want you to hear that.

Coming up in just a second might help you out as well in some of the things that you face day to day.

My Patriot Supply, if the economy goes up in flames, and let's face it, we're wobbling on the edge of that cliff even now, are you apt to go up in flames with it?

All the signs are there.

You can almost feel it coming towards us, but are you prepared?

You need to plan for the worst and then just hope for the best.

And then when the the worst comes, you're already prepared.

You've already thought it through.

It's MyPatriot Supply that I would like you to call today.

Okay, I want you to hear this.

This is a question and answer from a teacher and his student

talking about JK Rowling.

Listen.

So these guys want to talk about J.K.

Rowling?

We're going to treat this as a thought experiment.

I'm not going to say what's right or wrong or what way to think.

The whole point is to learn how to think, not what to think.

So when you say bigot, you're starting with the conclusion that given her bigoted opinions, yeah.

So, first, let's start with: does she have bigoted opinions?

So, when you, when you say bigoted opinions, she has had a history of being extremely transphobic, I've heard.

You've heard, so what can you give me an example?

If you look at her Twitter, I think you can see a few things.

If you want, I could try and find her.

Let's see if you can find one.

So, one of these tweets that she came up with in 2019, she said, dress however you please, call yourself whatever you like, sleep with any consenting adult who will have you

live your best life in peace and security, but force women out of their jobs for starting that,

for stating that sex is real.

So you find that bigoted?

What do you find about?

It was deemed transphobic.

Like, I myself...

Do you find that transphobic yourself?

I don't really have an opinion on it, but I'm just going with what a lot of other people have said.

So let's pause it.

Let's not go with what other people are saying.

Let's try and learn how to critically think.

So let's analyze the tweet ourselves.

So that statement, do you see anything problematic disregarding other people's opinions?

She did try and pin

some

things

a specific group of per of people where she where does she does that do that can you read that but force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real so when I hear that I'm interpreting that as meaning if a woman says that you know saying that there is a difference between men and female and then being attacked as transphobic I think that's what she's saying by attacking someone for stating that sex is real.

That is exactly what she's saying.

Is that transphobic to you?

So

to me,

no.

Stating that sex is real is not transphobic.

It's just a fact of life.

It exists.

So is there anything you disagree with in that tweet?

In that tweet, I can't really see anything that I myself disagree with.

Do you think it's fair that

there's a...

that she's being attacked by a large group of people and people are calling her.

Like you said at the beginning of this conversation, you said, Given the fact that J.K.

Rowling is transphobic, how do you feel about Harry Potter?

Now, retroactively looking at that statement, do you think that that was the best way to phrase?

No, I feel like an idiot now.

It's okay, though, but this is why we do this to learn how to think.

Is that not fantastic?

That's why we do this to learn how to think.

I will tell you that

when I went to school, I could only afford one class,

and

it was was here at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.

And

I had a teacher, Wayne Meeks, and I have no idea to this day where he stood on issues.

No idea.

No idea.

And I would push back and forth with him, and he would push me.

And just when I thought, okay, I know what he believes, he'd flip sides and he'd argue the other side like he was a passionate believer in that.

That's what we need.

School is not to teach what to think, but how to think.

And every single school has lost that.

They teach you how, what to think.

No.

Teach critical thinking.

The

way he brought that and didn't get involved in the argument.

This is what we all have to learn.

Don't get involved or heated or frustrated in the argument.

He just took his time and said, well, wait a minute.

A lot of people say, well, what do a lot of people say?

Give me an example

so we can take that.

And

remember, we don't take anything a lot of people say.

That's the problem.

That's why we've smeared so many good people is because we haven't taken the time.

What did they actually say?

Was that in context?

What does that actually mean to you in context?

Do you agree or disagree?

With what part do you disagree?

What part do you agree?

So, is that fair to say yes or no?

We should be doing this with the bill on the border stuff.

The border stuff, instead, everybody claims disinformation.

No,

be specific.

Be specific.

What parts of this are really bad?

Now, I gotta say, I get, I suppose, I could find some good things in here.

Stu, have you found any good things in here?

Yeah, I mean, I think there's some.

It's not a good bill.

It's theoretically could have some things that would be beneficial.

I mean,

making the asylum process better would be a good change.

But wait, let's stop there and use critical thinking.

What exactly do you mean by better?

What do they mean by making it better?

Well, as we know, one of the big problems with the asylum process is, number one, you

get onto our soil and say you want asylum and basically you're just released within the country with a court date that can be as far as 2032.

Okay.

What they say again, I'm not saying I believe this, but what they are saying this does is it trims the asylum process from three from multiple years to months.

So that would shorten the time period that these people were allowed to be in the United States with no real repercussions.

Okay, so stop for a second.

Stop for a second.

So I'd like to ask you a series of questions here, and not what you just, not on the facts of what you just said, on what's in the bill.

I want to back up and ask you, when you said they say

that you can read the bill, you know it's in there.

What do you mean by they say that it will

do XYZ?

They claim.

that if this was implemented into law, they would enforce it.

However, my hesitation here is because there's lots of things that are implemented into law that they do not enforce.

And that is why it is difficult to take any of these proposals seriously.

And would you say that happens on both sides of the aisle with almost any topic or just this topic?

I would say that it does hit both sides of the aisle on various topics.

However, there is a heavy, heavy bias toward the left doing this.

They continually

do not follow the law.

And I would say there's a heavy bias toward this particular issue as well, being one that they do not enforce the law on.

So it makes me incredibly suspicious of it.

Okay, so

I could go on to give me examples, but I think in, you know, just

because of time, I'm not going to ask you that.

I think we can all find examples of that being true.

But what does that tell you now about the bill?

I mean, it tells me the bill isn't worth the paper it's typed on.

Yes.

So that tells me what.

So how much time should you spend on a bill that isn't worth the paper it's printed on?

I would argue zero minutes, but we've obviously spent more than zero minutes on it today.

I know, because we do have to inform people what's in the bill so they see.

But I would add the caveat that we all know the game that is played on the border.

We all know it.

So it's not worth, I mean, you can put as many, you know,

shall

over

will in any bill, and the shall is meaning, well, they have to do it now.

I've seen that game played over and over and over again.

And it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

They're not following the Constitution.

So these bills don't mean very much.

The best thing that Congress and

the administration can do now is not pass anything until they've restored their trust with the American people.

But are they apt to do that?

I would argue no.

But let me follow up with this on your side here, Glenn, because, and I will do this as someone who's completely dead inside on all of these issues, I admit, that my, my devil's advocacy here is not heartfelt.

Well, no, mine isn't.

Yeah, I know, I know.

But let's play devil's advocate.

But like,

if

because my initial reaction to this bill is to read it and say, okay, there are maybe a couple of things that could theoretically be good in there, but I don't trust them at all because they're never going to enforce these things anyway.

If that is the case, then how is there ever a solution to this problem?

We could sit here and say that, like,

well,

you know, we are skeptical they're going to implement this, but we're going to be skeptical that they're going to implement anything forever.

I think rightfully so.

So with that being said,

how do you ever get to a place where this problem is solved or at least alleviated?

so this leads me to a place that I didn't think we would go to

but I'm glad you asked that question

civil war now I'm just I'm kidding no no the the answer to that question is none of this will be solved by the people who caused the problem

The people that are currently saying that they are going to solve this problem are all of the people that have caused this problem.

Joe Biden,

the GOP that says they want to solve problems, but they don't actually want to solve them.

The you know, Chuck Schumer, all of the same people are involved.

So

the real answer is, shouldn't we be spending more time on finding

the right people to run,

ensuring that they get in, helping them get in, and finding new candidates that won't play this same game?

We've seen that's that's almost as harder,

almost harder than solving

the border problem.

I mean, what you've just said is basically Donald Trump's argument, right?

His argument is put me back, put me in an office, and I will take care of this.

And we shouldn't, even if there are improvements in this bill, we shouldn't look at them because the more important thing is to get me back in office, and therefore I can do these things because I alone can do this.

Well, no, wait, that's not what I said.

That's not what I said.

But I think that's similar to what I'm not saying, I'm not saying you're signaling this to Donald Trump.

I'm just saying I'm personalizing to Donald Trump because he's making this argument explicitly, right?

Again,

if that was indeed what he was saying, and

he didn't say it, so let's not attribute it to him.

But indeed, if that's what he was saying, well, then that would be a problem because that's not our system.

That's not our system.

If he would say, hire me, hire these people in their respective roles, and together we're going to fix this, that would be the ultimate.

That would be the ultimate.

If everybody did what they said they were going to do and they were fresh blood, that would be great.

The next best thing is to do it by executive order, but I hate that solution.

For one reason, they can change it the next president that comes in.

And

let's jump off of this here for a second and come back in just a minute.

I want to talk to you about why his vice presidential pick is so important.

Next.

First, our sponsor this half hour is Mantis X.

You know, very seldom do I think to myself, you know, I spend too much time at the gun range practicing to be a better shot.

I mean, maybe it's just me, but have you ever had that thought?

You know, I have no reason to go today.

I've already gone every day this week.

The expense of ammo, the time that it takes, etc., etc.

10 seconds, station ID.

Okay, so the president was thrilled that he won the

Democratic primary in a landslide in South Carolina.

I mean, I guess you could call it that.

Nobody really running against him, and only 4%

of those who could vote turned out to vote.

So I wouldn't necessarily call that.

How much do you take from this?

I mean, I have other points on the Trump thing we were on in a second, but like, how much do you take from that?

I mean,

he was the only candidate really that was serious that was running.

He's the incumbent president.

Would you show up to vote in that election?

Who cares?

No, I wouldn't show up.

Why would you take any

of your time to go vote in an election?

He's going to win 96 to 2.

Yeah.

None.

So let me go now back to Donald Trump.

Who he selects as vice president is critical because the president will only have four years.

He's a lame duck president

going in.

He's got one term.

So he's in the first 40 to 100 days, it's all got to be there.

And he's got to execute it from day one.

He has to know exactly who he's putting in on every in every office.

And those people have a list of everybody they need to cut in every office.

He needs to be a machine in the first 100 days.

And then, you know, he can go and do whatever he wants, but that should be laid out.

Honestly, a lot of it should be laid out by now.

And the vice president is going to be the key to all of this.

I don't mean during the Trump administration, but he's got to be somebody that we all say, that's who I'd like to be the president in 2028.

The best person he could pick, and I don't think DeSantis would do it, but the best person he could pick would be Ron DeSantis.

Ron DeSantis getting in and being the vice president so we have a smooth transition.

We, to fix this, we need 12 years.

You've got to have the presidency and somebody who is on the same page.

for 12 years.

This has taken over 100 to build.

You can dismantle it in 12, but you can't in four.

Now, who is he looking at as vice president?

You know, people are pointing to this

audio cut of the president talking about two candidates.

But listen carefully.

He's not actually saying that these are two I'm considering.

Listen to this.

When will you announce who your VP is?

Not for a while.

I mean,

we have so many great people in the Republican Party, but not for a while.

What criteria are you using to identify who your running mate is?

Always, it's got to be one thing.

It's got to be who would be a good president.

I mean, you always have to think that because, you know, in case of emergency, things happen, right?

No matter who you are, things happen.

It's got to be number one.

Who is your running mate?

Well, I have a lot of good people.

We have a lot of really good people.

So you haven't decided who it is?

I have a lot of good ideas, but I haven't.

And there's no reason to be able to do it.

So you can told that person, you're my person.

I speak to everybody.

I speak to everybody.

You know, I called Tim Scott this, so we could a lot of people like Tim Scott.

I called him and I said, you are a much better candidate for me than you are for yourself.

Christine Ohm has been incredible fighting for me.

She said I'd never run against him because I can't beat him.

That was a very nice thing to say.

What was the story that your team reached out to RFK Jr.?

It's a false story.

No, it's a false story.

You never reached out to RFK Jr.

I like him a lot.

Nope, never, never have.

Did you notice the one thing he didn't say about those two was he's considering them as vice presidential candidates, even though I think he would be wise to

consider

those.

Those are two good people.

If they're on the board,

I would argue they're on the board.

Yeah, but everybody's like, oh, he's narrowed it down to two.

No, no, no, he hasn't.

He's got to say 25 different things about.

He's already said he's decided.

Now he's saying he's not.

He likes the drama of this.

People don't understand that, but he does.

Yeah.

When he comes out with his candidate, he'll say the vice presidential candidate is

after this break.

All right.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

I'm live from the station, really, where everything started, at least talk-wise for me.

And I found Stu as an intern.

We're at the studios in New Haven, Connecticut at KC101 and WELI.

And I want to thank Fred, the engineer, who's just incredible.

And also Vinnie Penn and Dr.

Rossi, who are still here after all so many years.

And

thank them for their support and

kindness of working quickly to get me on the air here uh this weekend we had a an emergency in the family um

and

the whole schedule is kind of up uh up in the air right now so we'll give you more uh as as you need to you know as it needed um as a quick fact check glen i was making six dollars an hour hanging balloons in the promotions department um not actually an intern until after uh i had met you just to make just to be clear i i was i was promoted to intern you were promoted to internet okay

But did we, did I pay you $6 an hour?

You didn't.

Intern?

No, you didn't.

The station was paying me to hang the balloons and to put the stickers on the table multiple, multiple months before you actually brought me on as an intern.

It's an important part of my career, I want to make sure, is fleshed out for the public conception.

Good, yeah.

And you were a little, you know, you're like, I don't know, I'm making a lot of, I'm making a lot of coin here.

It's six bucks every hour.

I mean, minus the taxes in Connecticut.

So negative three bucks an hour total.

Yeah, it was great.

It was great.

So before we move on from the border situation and my limited advocacy for the devil and this particular situation,

there's a kernel of like real

like dead end

type of worry here for me on this issue because

endless.

Because, you know, Trump,

I mean, and I will say he's somewhat explicitly said he's the guy who can, I mean, this is his campaign, right?

He's saying he's the best guy to solve this problem.

He has explicitly talked about that.

And I, you know, I think there's, you know, he did some good things on the border.

I mean, I don't think he was perfect there, but he did some good things on the border, certainly better than what we have now, as we could all agree.

Yeah.

So,

but like,

right now, his political calculation, which I think is accurate, is do not let anyone support this bill and the Republican Party.

Outwardly shame them if they do,

because

if you do that,

the issue continues to be a problem for Biden.

It's hampering his campaign, and Donald Trump is more likely to get into the White House and therefore more likely to improve this situation.

So I think that's all, like, it works for Donald Trump, probably works for the border situation, particularly in the long term.

However,

or in the short term.

However, in the long term, it's another story, right?

Because Donald Trump can do what he did last time, basically.

He can go in there and he can improve some things on the border, which he did.

He can probably make the numbers look a heck of a lot better than they are now for four years.

You're right, his VP choice is key.

Maybe that person gets another eight years.

Maybe we even extend those solutions for eight years.

However, without getting this through Congress, it's going to be difficult to see anything that's going to really change this situation in any dramatic way.

And if Donald Trump is president

long term, and if Donald Trump is president of the United States, there is basically zero chance you're going to get 60 votes on a conservative border solution in the Senate.

Why do you need 60?

Well, because they will filibuster anything.

The Democrats will filibuster anything that tries to go through.

Oh, the filibuster.

I forgot they hadn't gotten rid of that yet.

Yeah, I mean,

you can talk about that, which I do not like.

No, I don't.

I don't like that at all.

So, I mean, I don't think this, what we have here, is the solution at all, this new border bill.

But, like, how do you get to a long-term solution?

Because all you seemingly can do is somewhat improve the process.

I mean, and people will point out that, you know, especially those that are conservatives and didn't like Trump.

I mean, you know, Trump endorsed Lankford, his full and total endorsement for the guy who negotiated this bill.

So, I mean, like, even if we get an improvement under Trump, how do you make it long-term?

How does it last?

Well, I think my attorney said it best.

There's really no hope.

It's a civil war.

I'd like to argue that this bill actually will hurt the next president if it's not, you know, if it's Donald Trump, because we've now codified that there can be 4,000, you know, 3,999 that go through

every day, and we're fine with 1.8 million people coming in.

It'll now be codified.

So what is he supposed to do when he gets in?

He can't slow slow that down.

That's now law.

This is really bad if you want to solve the problem.

I understand what you're saying,

that this is so horrible

that nothing's ever going to work.

But I will tell you, while we have the chance to vote for senators, I mean, remember, there's enough senators.

I'm sure you do this on your morning report.

There's enough senator openings that could go actually really well

for the liberty-loving side of the GOP, that we could have enough numbers to get a lot through.

Am I wrong?

You could, yeah.

You could have a real improvement here.

I mean, and you could also have improvements even when the numbers don't change.

A prime example of this is Utah, right?

You go from Mitt Romney to question mark.

And so,

well, I mean, I'm just saying, if you choose a good person in that role, you can make a massive improvement in the Senate without even changing your numbers.

But

what's the bad news?

So, you know, I said I thought that Mitt Romney's son was going to run.

Yeah, you did tell me that.

No, it didn't happen.

Didn't happen.

It didn't happen.

Okay, well, that's not bad news.

Well, somebody's son is running.

Is it mine?

No.

It is Oren Hatch's son.

Do people in Utah ever vote for someone like I are they independent to not vote for just a last name that's familiar?

I don't know.

I feel like they are.

I mean, Mike Lee's a good example of that, right?

They could have gone another direction with an established

candidate

Lee.

Right.

They're still actually, you know, they have to go through the nomination process yet.

So he's not the guy yet.

I met one of the people that is throwing their hat in the ring

over the weekend and had a conversation with him.

I want to have another conversation with him at least.

And I would like to meet everybody that is involved in that.

But

please, Dot, please, Dot Hatch, please, for the love of Pete, can we learn our lesson?

Yeah.

The son of another candidate could theoretically be good, but why do we always do this?

Why do we always do this?

Why do we always go to the bathroom?

Well, because we don't like kings.

We don't like kings and royal families.

The whole country was framed on the idea that we don't like kings, and yet we're like, you know what we like?

No.

Kings.

Kings.

We really like that.

And we only like it because then we don't have to remember stuff.

You know, we get in the booth and we're like, oh, I know that name.

Click.

That's the only reason why that works, honestly, is we are so lazy.

We're like, I don't know who to vote.

Oh, I think I've heard that name before.

Yes, Pielzebov.

Pull it.

Pull it.

Anyway, let me play something here from CNN that just

stunned the host.

She was on and they were talking about why are people, so many people, coming to New York that are illegal aliens.

Listen,

I'm looking at the dates that their arrest started, which is probably close to when they got here.

They've only been here a couple of months.

So, what the detectives are telling me is they have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing, then go to Florida to spend the money, and then come back.

And I'm like, well, why don't they just stay and steal in Florida?

And they said, because there you go to jail.

Oh, wow.

Great point.

It is a great point.

Oh.

Yeah.

Break to a commercial quickly.

I mean,

it's remarkable how we talked about this last week.

This is all just common sense.

Everybody knows the answer.

Everybody knows the answer.

You want to fix the border.

The first thing you have to do is just close it until we can get a handle on what we already have.

You know,

it's as if we are being told it's unreasonable to turn the water off on a tub that is overflowing and is now leaking through the kitchen ceiling.

They're all standing there going, no, no, wait, we have to decide what to do first.

We have to, how are we going to mop this up?

Turn the water off.

Everybody knows that.

Turn the water off.

Now, yeah, but what are we going to do about crime?

Arrest and prosecute.

It's, I don't know.

It's worked for thousands of years.

Let's give it a whirl.

You know, it is all such common sense.

And that is,

you have been convinced by the mainstream media.

And here's how it works every time.

You will say, turn the water off.

Well, yes, but do you know anything about the electricity and the walls and the floor?

No, well, you don't know anything about the electricity.

Can you just leave this to the experts here?

And then you walk away and go, well, I don't know.

It had something to do with the electricity in the wall or the floor.

No, it doesn't.

Turn the water

off.

It's simple, unless you are talking about, you know, nuclear energy.

That's when you might want to sit that one out.

You know, I don't know.

Why don't we just take the rods out of the water?

You know, sit that one out.

I don't know enough on that one.

But on the simple things like, how can I help crime go away from my city?

I got the answer for you.

It's really simple.

I don't need any of you eggheads.

We have it.

Inflation.

Well, now it's so bad that we have to have a few experts just to tell us, okay, put your tray table up.

Put your head between your knees and kiss your butt goodbye because this whole plane could burst into flames, but

there's a chance a lot of us survive.

So here's what you do.

But the plane is going down.

What are we doing?

What are we doing?

When will America truly wake up to it's not

that

hard?

You know, when this administration is putting people in the FAA, in our towers,

who have lower scores and qualifications of others, but they happen to be a one-armed lesbian who is also transgendered and thinks they're a rainbow pony, and they get the job,

common sense says you're going to have a lot of near-misses.

Have you noticed what's been happening in the sky?

I think it's 18 near misses in the last few months.

18.

Why?

Well, they just changed the rules on how to become an air traffic controller.

They just give it out to anybody as long as they fit the narrative.

Common sense will say that's going to get people killed.

Let's go for merit here.

Let's go for merit.

As planes fall out of the sky, there's a reason why the world's greatest engineering group, Boeing, now has planes that don't work and fall out of the sky.

Oh, what could it be?

I don't know.

Maybe the fact that they changed the entire leadership

chain from engineering people to financial people.

And the bean counters don't know how to build an airplane.

That could be it.

And that the bean counters also had a lot of the rainbow pony thing going on with them.

And they cared more about their woke policies.

than planes that work.

It's really not that hard to figure out.

What do you say?

We just get together peacefully and we're just like, hey, you know what?

Not going to do that anymore because it doesn't work.

Not going to do it.

Back in just a minute.

Sponsor of this F-Hour is Relief Factor.

I don't endorse products on the program that I don't believe in and that I don't personally use, especially if it's something that you would take in your body.

I don't, I just don't do it.

I don't like it.

If I haven't tried it myself, if I haven't gone through the experience, just like you, not the Glenn Beck is going to call today, so make sure you treat him well.

I don't do that.

I just call at any hour of the day, any time.

They have no idea I'm calling, and I vet them, and I use their product.

I see the delivery and the customer service and everything else.

Relief Factor is

the reason why I didn't take Relief Factor as a sponsor for a very long time, because I hadn't used it and didn't believe it.

I didn't think it would work.

My wife finally made me take it.

It's 100% drug-free, which is why I didn't think it would work.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Stu.

Yeah, so Glenn, one of the things we talk about on the border is that we should just enforce the law.

The law already has plenty of tools for us to solve these problems and we just don't enforce them, which I think is largely true, or at least would be an incredible improvement if we did these things.

The problem is,

you know, because law is no longer the supreme ruler of the land.

Yeah, that's kind of my thing.

That's exactly what I'm trying to get to here, which is there now seems to be this acceptable standard that whoever is president sort of determines what laws will be enforced and which ones will not and and when you're in that situation what is no matter what great bill you pass

What is the solution?

I mean, is the solution essentially you must win every presidential election or your entire sovereignty falls apart?

I mean, that's...

Again, I go back to we've got to re-educate the people about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

If we are going to live this way in this country and be free, then we have to reset the system back to its original parameters.

The reason why presidents can do this is because of this vast, unnamed, faceless administration that said, well, the FDA just said, well, who at the FDA?

What?

How do I, can I call them?

Can I make my case?

There's nobody that you can blame or vote out, and so the president, like as designed, beginning with Woodrow Wilson, then has to make decisions and issue edicts.

We don't want that system, and that's the problem.

We'll see you tomorrow.
