What you're about to hear
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Which today features Patton Stew.
We are in breathless anticipation of the big news conference that's coming up in a few minutes
concerning Hunter Biden.
Now, the speculation and reports are that there's something
that's huge concerning not just Hunter, but also Joe.
Even though Stephanie Ruhl from MSNBC told us there was no ties between, obviously, no ties between you and your son.
his son's done nothing wrong no he's done his son has done nothing
and so I'm sure there's gonna be nothing to see here just move along but we're gonna take it live when it uh when it starts uh there should be some fascinating things supposed to be a bombshell today dropped on joe bite
we'll see that's all coming up in one minute

So this press conference is supposed to start any moment.
We're going to monitor it here for you.
And we, you know, it's hard to know exactly what's coming out of this.
We know there's a lot of evidence here that supports the idea that Joe Biden was tied into the Hunter-Biden madness.
And while it's completely absurd to say Hunter did nothing wrong, We have not seen, you know, all the evidence yet as to how Joe Biden is tied into this.
Well, he's not tied at all.
That's what we found out from Stephanie Ruhl.
I know that's what Stephanie Rule ties there, but what are you going to say to people who are making a big deal out of your son?
What are you going to say about all these liars who don't like you for no reason?
These are tough questions from the media.
I don't know how he survived that interview, but this is something that go back years, right?
Joe Biden has not even run for president yet.
Well, I mean, he can't go back that far because he ran for president like 15 times.
But I'm saying when he was vice president, he leaves the vice presidency.
Peter Schweizer writes a book, and in the book, calls Joe Biden the most corrupt VP we've ever had.
That's beforehand.
Right.
We're going to have to go to this press conference here in just a second and hear what the new information apparently is.
Please let it be good.
Yeah.
Please.
Please.
Let it be good.
I couldn't.
I don't know if I can handle another disappointment on what they, you know, it's like the
UFO thing they were going to release you knew nothing was going to really come of it right i hope that's not the case here but here they are here let's listen in
okay um we're going to listen in here in just a moment as they are just starting up here they're saying they're talking about the biden family domestic and international business practices
and of course this is something they began last year
as they were looking at
really in-depth because of course you know when they didn't have power they couldn't do this they had no choice they had to basically sit back and
have it be ignored yeah unless the Democrats were going to do it and we knew that wasn't going to happen no
okay here we go let's listen to the committee's investigation we intend to provide transparency to the American people and reach legislative solutions
in only four months since obtaining subpoena authority we have made astonishing progress Today, we'll talk about that progress.
All right.
First, we want to discuss information the committee has learned since our last press conference in November.
New information investigators have uncovered regarding the transfer of money from foreign entities to the Biden family.
Many of the wire payments occurred while Joe Biden was vice president and leading the United States efforts in these countries.
First instance, while Vice President Biden was lecturing Romania on anti-corruption policies, in reality he was a walking billboard for his son and family to collect money.
Hunter Biden and his associates capitalized on a lucrative financial relationship with a Romanian national who was under investigation for and later convicted of corruption in Romania.
The Bidens received over $1 million for the deal and 16 of the 17 payments to their associates' account that funneled the Biden's money occurred while Joe Biden was vice president.
In fact, the money stops flowing from the Romanian National soon after Joe Biden leaves the vice presidency.
This is a pattern of influence peddling.
This appears separate from any payment Hunter received from his work connecting this individual to a U.S.
law firm.
We'll also provide further information regarding the Biden's relationship with China.
This includes two individuals the committee is particularly concerned about.
One of them, Yi Jinming, had close ties to the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party and operated a multi-billion dollar energy company with access to large sums of money.
We'll discuss how the Bidens received millions of dollars from this individual through the use of shell companies and wire transfers.
In March, the committee released its first bank records memorandum that showed a Biden associate, Rob Walker, used his company to funnel money from the Chinese to various Biden family members.
Democrats dismissed the evidence, even though it was based on bank records directly from the bank.
The Democrats on the Oversight Committee received the same records as the Republicans, and they were able to verify the information.
Democrats said all the bank records showed were Papa John's and Starbucks receipts.
They deliberately chose to miscontrue and deny what was clearly in front of them.
Hunter Biden's representatives claimed the money was, quote, good faith seed funds,
but could not explain why those funds had to go through an intermediary in what appears to be an attempt to hide the transfers from the Chinese.
They also couldn't explain why the Bidens received over $1 million
in 16 different wire transfers over a period of three months to at least five different banks.
The president, when confronted with this information, said it wasn't true.
Instead of being honest with the American people, President Biden has claimed since the 2020 election that his family has not received money from China.
That was a lie in 2020, and he continues to lie.
to the American people now.
The Bidens have received millions of dollars from China.
It It is inconceivable that the President did not know it.
The White House refuses to correct the President's statements, showing the President is now using the federal government to run interference for his families and his own role in these schemes.
Now I want to say a few remarks about the developments last week.
A week ago, I sent a subpoena to the FBI for a form that a whistleblower has alleged is in the FBI's possession.
We hope the FBI will be transparent and forthcoming and provide the Oversight Committee with the 1023 form we have subpoenaed.
If they do, the committee will assess the form it has subpoenaed from the FBI and has been my practice.
We will report to you only facts when they are verified and indisputable.
This committee will not pursue witch hunts or string the American people along for years with false promises of evidence that is beyond circumstantial evidence as Representative Adam Schiff and the Democrats did for years.
I trust the whistleblower.
A subpoena from this committee is a powerful tool that I do not take lightly.
The level of detail provided to Senator Grashley led me to conclude a subpoena was warranted and I stand by that assessment.
I will say this.
When Senator Grashley approached me with the information the whistleblower provided, it was because of the information we've learned through this committee's own investigation that indicated to me the whistleblower's allegations are consistent with our independent findings.
Those findings are what I called you here today to discuss.
The committee has reviewed thousands of bank records from individuals and companies affiliated with the Bidens and their associates.
It has received these bank records pursuant to four subpoenas I've issued to different banks.
These were targeted and specific subpoenas and each was different based on the information we believed the banks possessed.
Every one of those subpoenas returned valuable information that had been unreported and that contributed to this committee's understanding of how the Bidens conducted their businesses.
The committee is concerned by the complicated, suspicious network of over 20 companies.
We have identified the Bidens and their associates used to enrich themselves.
Most of these companies were limited liability companies formed during Joe Biden's vice presidency.
The bank records show the Biden family, their associates, and their companies received over $10 million
from foreign nationals and their companies.
Some of that money came from a Chinese company and went to Hunter Biden's company.
Other transfers occurred with the help of Rob Walker, who then sent it onto different Biden family members.
This is not how lawful businesses operate.
Chinese nationals affiliated with the Bidens created limited liability companies in the United States and then in a short period of time transferred their interest to a Chinese company that sent money to the Bidens.
This is not normal.
Hunter Biden and his associates courted business in countries that correlated directly with Joe Biden's work as vice president.
This is also not normal.
It is not ethical.
And this is why we need legislative solutions.
Our purpose here is to provide legislative solutions to prevent this unethical behavior from ever happening again.
This investigation is about investigating allegations of corruption and fraud at the highest levels of the federal government.
This should be a bipartisan issue.
This committee is considering legislation that would ensure these sorts of business practices do not continue for Democrats or Republicans.
Specifically, the committee is crafting legislative solutions aimed at deficiencies it has identified in ethics laws and disclosure laws for immediate family members of vice president and the president.
These deficiencies potentially place American national security and American interest at risk.
Additionally, the committee is considering legislation that would strengthen reporting requirements related to certain foreign transactions involving senior elected officials' family members.
Okay, and we're going to break in here.
We're talking about the legislation they may eventually pass to
handle this.
We'll come back here when they get back to some of the allegations against
President Biden, and we'll go through what they've said so far.
First, we'll take a quick 60-second break.
Now, it used to be that concepts like the customer is always right shaped the way we did business.
Companies weren't ideologically captured by wokeism, and taking care of the customer's needs was the most important thing.
But every once in a while, If you look in the right place, you'll find a company that still wants to do business the American way.
And Patriot Mobile is a great example of this.
They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
They offer dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks, so you get the best possible service in your area, but you're not simultaneously helping fund woke propaganda by spending your money with those big mobile companies.
When you switch to Patriot Mobile, you choose to support free speech and religious freedom, the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, and our military veterans and first responder heroes.
Their 100% U.S.-based customer service team makes switching very easy.
Do yourself and our country a favor and make the switch today.

10 seconds, station ID.
Okay,
I don't know if we've gotten to a bombshell yet.
No, some interesting conference.
Interesting information.
If it's if it's able to be backed up by evidence, it's obviously should be a massive scandal.
But will it?
Will anything come of any of these?
Yeah, I don't know.
Let's see.
Let's drop back in here with this press conference and see where we're at.
We appreciate your leadership on this very
significant issue to the direction of this country, and we appreciate it.
You can tell that this is somewhat significant because everyone's trying to jam in behind the camera shot as they do it.
They want to be associated with it.
He's done such incredible work
on behalf of this committee in reviewing these records and helping us to obtain them.
Thank you.
And thank you to
those of you who are here from the media today.
So when we talk about the Biden family and associates, I think it's important for the American people to understand
what we mean
when we're talking about these associates.
What are we really getting at?
First,
They used them as vehicles to move money directly into Biden family accounts.
Why is that?
It's because they were looking to obfuscate and hide where the money was coming from.
For example, the Bidens used their associate Rob Walker to bring in millions of dollars from China and Romania.
Walker's limited liability company Robinson Walker LLC paid Hunter, James, Halley, and others in the Biden network more than $2 million
after foreign money hit his account.
One-third to the Bidens.
That was the pattern.
For example, on March 1st, 2017, only two months after Joe Biden left office, Robinson Walker received a $3 million wire from State Energy HK Limited, a Chinese entity.
The next day, one-third of that money, $1,065,000, went to the bank account in Abu Dhabi of the company EEIG,
which was controlled by James Gilead, another Biden associate.
Over the next three months, Robinson Walker LLC sent 16 incremental payments
to over five different Biden accounts totaling $1,065,692.
This included payments to James Biden, who received five wires and over $50,000,
who did no discernible work to earn that money.
A third to Gilliard.
A third to the Bidens.
What was State Energy HK Limited?
That is a second class of Biden associates, the people from whom the Bidens conducted business.
State Energy HK Limited was a company controlled by Yi Jeming.
Yi was a Chinese billionaire who was reportedly the former
Deputy Secretary Counsel for an international outreach arm for the People's Liberation Army.
It's called the China Association for International Friendly Contact.
According to a U.S.
agency, that organization is a platform for
deploying undercover intelligence gatherers.
Chairman Yi started an energy company called CEFC China.
Yi explained in a speech to the committee
that the committee has obtained and translated into English that CEFC China's vision is very simple.
It is to obtain overseas resources and serve the national strategy, Not U.S.
national strategy, Chinese national strategy.
And Chinese national strategy is Chinese Communist Party's strategy.
Yi was close to Chinese President Xi Jiangping and welcomed at least one foreign president to Beijing
with Yi.
The DOJ has referenced Yi and CEFC in a scheme bribing African leaders.
The other Chinese national I'll mention now is Gong Wen Dong, who did work for Yi in America.
When Yi needed to do business in America, he often looked at Gongwandong.
The amount of money Yi was sending to Gongwon Dong was staggering.
From June through August of 2017 alone, Yi transferred to Gangwon Dong in America more than $130 million.
Ye met with Hunter Biden in February 2017 and gave him a diamond reportedly worth tens of thousands of dollars as a gift.
Happens all the time.
In 2017, Yi, through Gongwundong, opened up a business with Hunter and James Biden called Hudson West 3, based here in Washington, D.C.
And Hunter wanted to get Joe Biden's keys to the office and they could all share office space together, according to an email verified by the Washington Post.
But things didn't go as planned because the Chinese detained Yi in March of 2018 for fraud.
In an email to Gongwundong and another associate, Hunter tried to explain away the last year of doing business together.
This is an email that has also been verified by the Washington Post.
Hunter wrote, and I quote, I am not in a joint venture with CEFC.
I'm not partners with CEFC, and I'm not employed nor funded by CEFC, close quote.
But Hunter was funded by CEFC, as Ms.
Mace will explain.
I'm extremely concerned about the president's connections to these individuals.
He was supposedly meant to share office space with and has denied knowing anything about these transactions and these business dealings and also has denied receiving any money for himself or his family from Chinese connections.
That has been proven to be a lie.
And I'll yield back, Mr.
McCarthy.
Okay, we're going to break away here.
This is been pretty,
there's a lot here.
We haven't seen the evidence, obviously.
These are pretty big accusations, millions of dollars flowing.
to the Biden family.
Will we pick this up and kind of go through everything that if you miss some of that, it gets into one of these situations where they're just listing a bunch of names and we don't know who these people are.
We don't know necessarily all the background to them.
And we're going to have to look into the evidence and make sure they're telling the truth here.
But if it's true, at the very least, we know once again that Joe Biden lied.
That's the very least of it.
And I don't know, it seems pretty significant.
If he's actually taking payments while Vice President of the United States from foreign entities.
Not good.
Not good.
Illegal.
Especially when he's overseeing these countries and our relations to them.
Yeah.
We'll get into kind of recap everything we just heard, and there could be a little bit more here as well as the press conference goes on.
It's Pat and Stew in for Glenn on the Glen Beck program.
The Glen Beck program.
Terry wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.
She writes, My two dogs have been on Rough Greens for four months.
I no longer have to give Tilly.
an allergy pill that she previously needed, and I stopped a probiotic I was using because Rough Greens already has it.
And Tucker, who wasn't eating much at all, now has a great appetite.
Thank you, Rough Greens.
Thank you for writing in, Terry.
Dog food is dead food.
Everybody knows that nutrition isn't brown.
It's green.
Fortunately, naturopathic Dr.
Dennis Black invented the solution.
It's rough greens.
Rough greens isn't a dog food.
It's a supplement you sprinkle on the food.
My dogs love it, and it's full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and antioxidants, things that are going to make your dog healthy and happy.
Most dogs love rough greens right off the bat.
I've never heard of one that didn't, but you check it out.

So the big press conference is going on that was supposed to be the bombshell.
delivered on Joe Biden.
And there's been some interesting stuff so far.
Yeah, Nancy Mace just said we've done the work for the investigatory agencies so now they can get off their ass and do something about it.
Let's see if that's going to happen.
And we'll get into that here in a second.
Is that an exact quote?
She said, get off your ass.
That's the part I remember.
I mean, yeah.
And it does seem like they've been dragging their feet quite a bit on this.
You know,
when you go farther than Hunter Biden,
it's going to be, of course, very complicated.
But apparently.
But all the Bidens are involved.
Right.
Hunter, James, James, Halley, Alley, Ashley Biden, Tito, Marlon, and Jermaine.
And Jermaine Biden.
They're all
part of this.
Yeah.
And you wouldn't think Tito would do this.
Marlon,
I honestly suspect it.
I suspect Marlon Biden.
You know, that's just me.
And we just haven't heard from Jermaine in a good long while.
No, it's been
very long.
For him to come up in this light,
it's weird.
Let me just run through some of what was accused here.
And And what they basically did is they gave you the headlines at the top of this.
And now they're kind of diving into more of the specifics.
At this point, they're just pointing us all in the right direction.
What we're going to do here, I know, is look at these individual claims and double-check their work.
Look into them and see if what they're saying is true.
They seem to have a lot of evidence and a pattern of behavior that would indicate massive corruption, and including when Joe Biden was vice president.
Yeah, but Trump!
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
I mean, it really nailed me.
That is what they said.
I had nowhere to go with that.
No, I didn't.
You had no idea.
No, the yeah, but Trump defense is bad.
That is how easy it is to shut these people down.
And look, that is what.
They're depending on.
Yeah.
They're just depending on hopefully people will get mad at Trump and not think about what Joe Biden has done.
But let's get into a little bit here of what he may have or allegedly has done.
They talked about a Romanian
entity that, a politician that was convicted of corruption in Romania, that wound up funneling about a million dollars to Joe Biden while, and 16 of the 17 payments that went to the Bidens
occurred when Joe Biden was vice president.
Joe Biden was also dealing directly with Romania, allegedly, at this time.
So you think of Joe Biden's the VP.
He's got all this power.
He's dealing with Romania, overseeing our relations there.
And 16 of the 17 payments occur while he's vice president.
And mysteriously, they stop almost immediately after he becomes, he's no longer vice president.
Pretty significant.
China,
they named the specific people here.
They're not just saying China generally, but the specific people in China
funneled millions of dollars, always through shell companies.
And this was one of the interesting things they kept bringing up throughout the press conference, is a pattern of behavior.
All of these these payments did not go directly to Biden bank accounts.
They continually pass through one or if not more intermediaries.
And what was siphoned off over and over and over again was about one-third, almost all or circumstances, about a third went to Biden.
Now, we remember the famous email 10% to the big guy.
Apparently, he had better deals,
30%, 33% in some of these cases.
There were 16 wires in three months to five different banks from Chinese entity.
Again, Joe Biden has said no one in his family has done business with China.
Now, of course, this is insanity.
We know that that's not true, but this is much more specific information that that actually went on.
And the records are coming from the banks, right?
The bank themselves providing this information.
I think it was Andy Biggs that said these are based on bank records from banks.
And that's good because I really dislike it when the bank records come from, say, a grocery store.
Right.
They shouldn't.
They do it.
That's not the way it is.
You don't even talk about it.
No, you don't bother.
Keep that quiet.
Right.
Over $10 million came from foreign nationals to Biden-related entities.
Yeah, it's a problem.
Just the $10 million, though.
Now, this was constantly funneled to the Bidens, allegedly,
while they kept getting a one-third cut.
And over and over and over again, they found the same number.
And it was really specific numbers.
For example, there's something in the area, I think it was like $3.2 million that was a payment from a foreign entity that got cut down, and then $1.065 million went to James Biden.
Now,
that's a very specific number.
It happens to work out to about a third of the overall number at the top, and this happens over and over again.
We see $10 million to the CEFC.
This is an organization you're going to become very familiar with if you're not already.
We have talked about this organization before.
It's a Chinese entity.
They did business and funneled money to Hunters corporation.
And they say this was intentionally made complicated.
Of course, that's how you move money in these schemes.
You don't just send it on PayPal.
You try to make sure that people can't follow the money.
You use Venmo, for sure.
Oh, use Venmo?
Yeah, you use Venmo.
I use the cash app.
Oh, yeah.
That's usually how I funnel my money.
A Serbian politician.
put $3 million in, wound up getting through Hunter Biden meetings that he wanted to try to get a high role in the UN,
which, of course, was, there's a lot of influence with the Biden last name in that type of situation.
They went through all of this, and you're going to be able to see the full documents as they release them.
Will
investigatory agencies actually go through and look at this?
I think that's the big question.
And I think it's why people normally who would be
very into this type of coverage and these sort of accusations, because they're not fans of Joe Biden and believe he's corrupt, are skeptical.
People look at this and say,
We've known this stuff forever and nobody does anything about it.
But it is important to note that the DOJ is under Joe Biden, right?
There has not been an organization during Joe Biden's presidency that has had any power to really look into this.
We've had people like Peter Schweizer, who is a journalist, he's looked into it.
We've had the laptop, we've had some journalists look into that.
We've seen the media for years
try to hide that stuff and derail those investigations.
But this is the first time since Joe Biden has been president that there is an organization, which is the Republican House, that has had the ability to do this.
This is the one thing you did win in that November election if you wanted conservatives to win.
You might think that, oh, they're not going to do anything.
This is really what they can't do.
This is where their power is.
They can subpoena these records.
They can get information that we've all been wanting for multiple years around Hunter and Joe Biden.
And James is a big part of this that's left out often.
He's mentioned like crazy in Peter Schweizer's book about this.
And it does appear that money has been flowing to the Bidens.
Do you think, Pat, this is the type of thing that can break that wall and maybe something actually happens here?
Man, I hope so.
But I don't have a lot of confidence because nothing ever comes of this stuff when it involves a Democrat, when it involves the Bidens.
Like Peter Schweitzer, he wrote that book about
all of this years ago
and talked about this being the most corrupt person
ever.
And nothing came of it.
But now it's a little, like you mentioned, it's a little bit different now with the Republicans having control of the House so they can look into things.
But it's hard to imagine this bringing him down, you know, bringing on an impeachment process, which should.
I mean, these are far more serious accusations against a president, a sitting president, than anything they concocted during the Trump administration.
I mean,
really,
we're going to compare
covering up the $130,000 payment to a stripper
to all of this influence peddling and all of that.
It's.
There's no comparison between those two.
There's none.
And again, I don't, you know, you can say how how serious the Stormy Daniels stuff was,
but
it's up to.
But she even denies that there was ever a payment.
Stormy Daniels.
Stormy.
Yeah.
It's just so hard to take a story seriously when you're calling someone stormy.
I don't know.
But
think about this.
The Peter Schweizer book comes out.
He calls him the most corrupt vice president in American history.
That was before even the laptop.
So we don't even know the Hunter stuff yet.
We didn't know any of that.
Then you add on the laptop, which gives us real insight as to what was happening.
You add on the multiple associates who came out right before the election.
Bobolinski was one of them.
Remember this?
This was like a story that they buried as well,
who had access to accounts that saw Hunter Biden's emails as well, separate ones from what was in the laptop.
And then you have now the House having this ability to subpoena these records because what we had with all of this stuff previously were
obvious directions to look at and no one to look at them you know we had these obvious like hey turn right here to get to your destination but no one who was driving the car that would take the right hand turn
and now we have that and this seems to be something they're taking seriously i am with you in that i'm skeptical of all good things occurring but uh
this this should make a difference it should it should will it no doubt it should yeah but will it that is the big question.
So I will tell you this: over the next few weeks, we're going to go through as much of this information as we can get.
I know Glenn will be back
hopefully this week, but over the next few weeks, he will put his team on all of this to look at every little detail, follow the bank records, make sure they're going in the directions that the Republicans are saying they are.
We're not going to just trust the Republicans' information.
I want to know for real: is this just political stuff?
It could be, but it's very specific.
I mean, there's a lot of information here if it's just generic political attack.
I mean, that does happen.
You know, we've seen it happen, certainly the other way, many, many times.
But we're not going to just sit here and just take the Republicans' word for it.
We will go through this information and try to see if what they're saying is accurate.
And if so, it's pretty damning.
It's pretty damning.
I think there's this.
I think another thing is at play here, Pat.
And tell me if you think I'm on the right track here.
The American people have super low standards for politicians.
Yeah.
You know, like we just assume they're the worst people among us.
But only because they are.
Right.
That's all.
We only have evidence of all things.
But we assume that.
And I think part of the problem with that assumption is we assume politicians get into office.
And of course they're skimming five and $10 million from foreign sources for hookups, right?
Like that's kind of what we all think happens.
And it's perhaps a bit too generalized, that feeling.
I mean, I think it's true often, but it's usually not this overt.
And I think what Biden has done, I think this is the case with anybody who's been in the same place for a really long time, where you start to learn the systems and you
start at the beginning, you know, Joe Biden was probably not doing this stuff.
And then after a while, he probably started dipping his fingers in.
And then he started learning the systems.
And he thought what he saw what he could get away with and still continue to rise in power over and over again.
And after this goes on for years and years and years and years and you don't get caught, a lot of times you get sloppy.
And while this seems to be a very
complicated and unlike his presidency,
somewhat
well-handled, it seems like he did a good job hiding these transactions.
There's some competence here you don't expect from Biden's.
And you certainly wouldn't get now.
You wouldn't get now, no.
I mean, he's completely incoherent at this point.
But there is some competence to this.
They did layer this in a difficult way.
They made it very complicated for people to follow.
But now that people are looking at it and following it,
you know, a lot of times maybe they did it too many times.
Maybe they pushed a little too far.
Maybe they tried to get too much money, give up too much influence, make it too obvious.
And if that's the case, they could be in serious trouble here.

If you're someone who takes shooting seriously, you know that getting good requires a lot of practice.

That's until iTarget came along.

It's Pat and Stewart Glenn.
Today, the press conference continues.
I mean,
one of the things that strikes me as they're speaking in front of the cameras is they seem pretty confident about
the case that they have, about the investigation they've done.
They seem,
this is pretty solid stuff.
It's not based in, we just don't like Joe Biden.
It's based on some evidence.
And
looking forward to the time when the evidence comes forward.
Because then what are you going to say?
That's Russian disinformation again.
Is that what you're going to claim?
That's Russian hacking.
So did Russia hack into all the bank records and twist everything around?
They got the bank records from the bank.
We've already established that.
They didn't come from...
These bank records are not from a shoe store.
They didn't come from payless shoes.
No?
No.
Well, that's good to hear.
Came from banks.
I wonder, Brad, do you think there's been a seal broken here where, I don't know, in the past, there was a lot of looking the other way by politicians who may or may not be involved in this stuff.
Yeah.
But after what happened with Trump over the past four years, with constant investigations, constant accusations, impeachment effort
after impeachment effort, all this going on, it seems now the Republicans are like, look,
we're not going to look the other way on this stuff anymore.
We're going to do something about this.
I think so.
I think there is an element to that.
And it's also going to be really hard for the Democrats to say, oh, you're just doing this for political purposes.
Really?
All you guys did
during the Trump administration was investigate him and and charge him and try to impeach him over and over and over.
That's all they did.
Right.
And I will say this.
What you just described, I think, is also the limit here on what this can do.
Because about 40% of the country is not going to look at this and they're going to automatically say, oh, yeah, but Trump.
So there is a limit on what this can accomplish, I think.
What it can do, though, is, because it's also a complicated thing, right?
So it's not going to be, it's not like, hey, there's a a video of him doing something it's going to be much more complicated with banking records but what this does do is if Biden gets to a situation where Democrats want him to be removed before this campaign happens they need our vehicle yeah you'll know if they start adopting this information as true the Glenn back program
Thank you so much.
We're for Glenn.
Today, let me tell you about American Giant.
Now, think about Mother's Day.
She made you your favorite meal on your birthday.
She cried the first day you went to school.
And again, when you moved away from home, mothers are special, and you can get her something special this Mother's Day from American Giant.
American Giant is about goodness, the goodness that comes from a hard day's work, honesty, integrity, decency, just like your mom.
American Giant began in 2012 when a clothing factory in North Carolina was going to shut down.
They worked with the factory to keep it open, and now 10 years later, they make the best hoodie ever.
I've got a couple of them.
They're awesome.
And they've got a a lot of other quality clothing as well for spring and summer.
Variety of colors.
American Giant uses cotton that is grown in America and milled, cut, and sewn right here as well.
Let your mom know that she's an American giant because she is.
Just look at you.
You're proof of a job well done.
Say thanks, mom.

Radio show here starts in a second.
Got no room to compromise.
We gotta stand together as a corner survivor.
Stand up, stand, and hold the light.
It's a new day, I'm tired to rise.
What you're about to hear
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Today, Pat and Stu for Glenn Mann, there is a lot going on that we need to share with you.
You know, we've been talking about the Biden situation because they just had the press conference.
Republicans alluded to a lot of stuff that was happening within the Biden crime family.
We'll go over that again.
Also, Tucker Carlson made a pretty big announcement last night on his future plans.
And in 60 seconds, we got to get into the Trump lawsuit as well.
Donald Trump being sued
for libel.
And
it's interesting because he lost lost the case.
Sort of.
I mean, there was a win there too, but we'll tell you about it coming up in 60 seconds.
I don't know about you, but I can see quality work when I see it.
And buying and selling houses, you know, is one of these big things.
You know, you don't think about it as a central part of quality work.
You think of, okay, well, this is just a transaction.
We need to
fill some paperwork out.
Well, that's not the way this works.
If you're a real estate agent, you know that's true.
And if you've ever bought or sold a home, you're talking about one of your most
dramatic financial transactions of your entire life.
You got to get somebody who's going to get it done right the first time.
And that's why you have realestateagents I trust.com.
These are people who walk into your house with a virtual Rolodex on their phone, one eye on the details, the other eye on the prize, going to get you the best price whether you're buying or selling a home.
Go to realestate agentsitrust.com, realestateagentsitrust.com.
The name kind of says it all.
This is Glenn's company.
He started it many years ago after having a bad experience of his own that I got to hear about off the air all the time.
I'm happy he started this company just so I don't have to hear about that anymore.
It's realestate agentsitrust.com, realestate agentsitrust.com.
Patents do for Glenn today.
So Donald Trump found libel.
Here's how the verdict went.
Now, he was being sued in civil court for raping this woman who admitted it wasn't really rape.
She called it something else.
Like, he, because I fought him.
And the interviewer said something to the effect of, well, if it's rape,
why wouldn't you call it rape?
That would be disrespectful to the illegal aliens who were raped on the border every day.
Wait, what?
What?
What does one thing have to do with the other?
Yeah.
The whole thing is absolutely bizarre from start to finish.
First of all, she claims rape, and you can't remember what year it occurred.
Not what day, not what time of day, right, not the second it occurred, but not what month or whatever.
She knows what decade it happened in.
That's good, which is a good start.
A good start.
You can't narrow it down beyond the middle of a decade.
No, no.
So it might have happened in 1996, but could it have been 1995?
Well, yes.
Was it maybe 1994?
That's middle-ish.
Yes, it could have been.
Is 93 too early in the decade?
I don't know.
You don't know.
Yeah.
And her behavior after this was very suspect.
The attorneys pointed this out for whatever.
They didn't really put up a defense, the Trump side of this.
They didn't even attempt really to defend it.
We'll get into that here in a second.
But one of the things, they kept pointing out things like, you know, you were posting a lot about how much you liked The Apprentice.
That just seems like strange behavior.
If your rapist is on television, you're just like, you know what show I love is this guy who raped me.
He's a wonderful, wonderful story about Billy.
Sure, he's a rapist, but what a great
game show host he is.
And, you know, I got to say,
look,
these are
in real cases of rape that actually occurred.
And this, we don't know.
I mean, you know, we'll get into that in a second.
She even says it may not be rape because of the illegal immigrants on the border or whatever.
But like in these cases, there's real trauma and people act sometimes in strange ways right afterward.
This is something that, you know, they keep bringing up.
Experts brought this up in the trial.
They said this is actually very common among sexual abuse survivors.
Look.
I just, I...
I don't know.
I'm not saying, like, there have been some cases where it's like people called up after and they asked for jobs or help.
Maybe I could understand some of that, right?
Like, maybe you could understand, okay, you maybe if you're a victim of this, you feel like you have some
this person owes you, right, for this trauma they caused you.
And you call up and you say, you know what, I need a job somewhere.
And maybe you could, maybe there's some way to justify that reaction.
But to sit here and praise a television host
after this person sexually assaulted you in a
department store,
it just, I don't understand it.
You know what?
I'm not an expert.
I'm not a doctor.
I, you know, luckily have not had to deal with any of this in my life.
Maybe I'm way off base here, but
forgive me if that's the case.
I just, it just does not make any sense that
you would be raped by someone and then start posting about what a great TV show they have.
Yeah.
Like that seems unlikely.
It just seems impossible.
As does, you know, being raped by somebody and not remembering the year it happened are you kidding i mean maybe if you're a young child and it's been like you've yeah it's been okay 100
sure
but you're an adult and you don't remember yeah you know you're you're trying you know essentially she was a somewhat of a pseudo celebrity right she's a writer of some sort um i don't know i mean somewhat in the new york scene It's hard to imagine that you couldn't remember the year.
It's just hard to imagine.
It sure is.
You would think that would be seared into your mind.
Also, it's strange that there were no customers at Bergdorf-Goodman who saw them enter this
really high-end clothing store.
So no customers saw it.
None of the employees saw it.
They went into a fitting room, which were
they're always supposed to be locked.
Did somebody just forget it that day and they happened to leave a convenient place for Donald Trump to do his worst?
I don't think so.
Theoretically possible.
It's possible.
It's just likely.
And she didn't even have an explanation as to why it was open, right?
She just basically said it was open.
Yeah.
So the fitting room's open.
Nobody sees it.
He's a celebrity.
Nobody noticed Donald Trump was there in 1996.
Everyone noticed.
This is, by the way, in 1996 as well.
In fact, every day since, I don't know, 1983, if Donald Trump has walked through your store, people see it.
Now, now how this is this is i think a bigger part of this in some way
donald trump's response to this uh other than just saying he doesn't think she's hot is uh
which is a whole other issue or her lawyer or it should be noted her lawyer not hot either the lawyer's not his type not his type
beyond that though his his his post on truth social after this was i don't know who this woman was This is part of a witch hunt.
Yeah, I don't even know her.
Now,
he says everything is a witch hunt.
He's right on a lot of this, right?
But he does say everything is a witch hunt, and maybe you throw that out.
But I want to focus on the first part of that statement for a second.
I don't even know who this woman was.
How,
how,
design it for me.
How on earth could you defend yourself against this claim?
Let's say, for example, and I know the media can't even entertain this possibility, but let's just say this is entirely fake.
Like if I were to say to you, Pat Gray, Pat, got bad news for you.
Charlotte
Templeton from Montana.
The spider?
Wait.
Isn't that where I got that from?
I don't think so.
That's just like one of my all-time favorite movies.
The spider?
No, sure.
No, the last name isn't Templeton.
Templeton was the rat.
Okay, right.
Okay, right.
But maybe that's where I got the name from.
That's interesting.
I love that movie, by the way.
It's still one of my all-time favorites.
The original.
I won't watch the second one.
So, Charlotte's Webb.
Charlotte Templeton, a female spider,
has accused, I had to hate, I have bad news for you.
She's from Montana.
She's accused you of rape.
Now, have you ever been to Montana?
I have been.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I grew up.
Oh, my gosh.
What years were you there?
Sometime in the 70s.
Yeah, and then you, but you came back from time to time.
To Montana?
Yeah.
Yeah, every once in a while.
Every once in a while.
Well, that's when this happened.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
It happened every once in a while.
Yeah.
Okay.
Every once in a while, it happened at least one of the times you visited.
I can't remember what year it was.
I can't remember really.
I know know it was summer.
It was the 80s or 90s.
Did you sometimes take a summer vacation to see your parents?
Yeah.
Probably at that point.
Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
You're corrupting me.
Usually with my wife and children.
Well, you weren't with your wife and the children this day.
You left.
Right.
And you apparently assaulted somebody.
Now, do you know who Charlotte Templeton is?
No.
So you're denying you even know who this person is.
You don't even know who she is.
Well, she says it happened.
She's got a whole story built on this day.
She remembers it.
She doesn't remember exactly what month or what year.
so you know your normal defense if I were to say hey Pat
August 18th 1991 you raped Charlotte Templeton in in Montana what you might do is look back at your records and find that you did a radio show on August 18th 1991 and you were in Baltimore Maryland Maryland so you're clear of this it's obviously not true but if I say I don't know what year it is and if I say I don't know what month it was that it's pretty nebulous It's pretty nebulous.
You literally cannot disprove this.
You can't also disprove that you don't know someone.
Right.
Right.
It's impossible to say she's saying you know each other.
You're saying you don't know her.
Now, I know, Pat, you were hosted many successful radio shows across the country and what you did frequent events where you met random people who were fans of the show.
And might have even had a picture taken.
And maybe had a picture taken with him.
So here's a photo of you and Charlotte Templeton from that's proof.
Proof.
What?
Incredible.
Seriously, what can you say?
There is literally no way to disprove a claim like this.
This happened all throughout the Me Too era.
You shouldn't have to.
You shouldn't have to.
This is America.
They've got to prove the case, not the defense.
Right.
There's no way to defend yourself.
Which is why they didn't put up a defense.
Right.
I think.
He basically, the lawyer basically said that.
He said, if I bring Donald Trump in here, what am I going to ask him?
Where were you in 1996?
Crazy.
What does that mean?
He was all over the place.
Was he in New York?
Did you ever go to Bergdorf Goodman?
Right.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Hasn't every billionaire been there?
Probably.
It's a very expensive store where people buy expensive things.
This is a massive hole.
And it's a reason why.
You can't prosecute claims like this 30 and 40 years later.
It's impossible to know what happened.
And yet you have to go to police right after.
That is how this can be.
Because then you could say, well, wait a minute.
Let's ask his relatives.
Let's find out.
Hey, here's a camera.
We can check the camera footage from when he was supposedly walking down the street.
You can do those things and actually catch these people.
And this idea that, like, okay, well, you know, things have been tough on sexual abuse survivors in the past.
I think that's true.
Right?
Like, there were times where it was hard for women to report these things because maybe of different power structures.
And that was probably true at one point.
However,
that doesn't mean that you can now retroactively prosecute people with no standard of evidence.
There's no standard here.
This is just a woman saying something happened, and there is no way to disprove it because she can't even come up with the year it occurred.
And yet the jury awards her.
They found Trump libel for sexually abusing Carol in a Bergdorf-Goodman fitting room in 1996.
Again, we don't even know that's the actual year.
The damages for that were $2.02 million.
They also found Trump libel of defaming Carol with an October 12, 2022 Truth Social Post calling her claims a hoax.
awarded $2.98 million for that.
Yeah.
Now, of course,
when you find,
part of this was a rape accusation, too.
They did not find it.
Which they found him not liable for, which is bizarre.
They're saying, what?
He assaulted her, but didn't actually.
It's hard to know what they're even saying, honestly.
What they are saying, we should be clear.
This is all this.
This is
Trump.
The conversation here is completely separate from this particular trial because this was just solely about making Donald Trump look bad, right?
Like, that's what this is about.
It's a New York jury.
They came at this, obviously, with an agenda.
There's no expectation of truth whatsoever here, I think, in this particular case.
It was a completely weak case.
A woman who was trying to sell a book brought up an allegation 30 or 40 years later.
It was a bizarre story from beginning to end.
So that's all true.
But, you know, you have this story where 30 and 40 years later, you're trying to investigate this with no way to come up with actual evidence to prove it.
And, you know,
I would argue, Pat, and I'd love to get your thought on this.
The law itself is unconstitutional.
New York basically came up with this, hey, we've been hearing a lot about this hashtag, me too.
What we're going to do is open up the previously determined statute of limitations that has already expired.
And we're now retroactively going to say, you can now sue under anything that happened during this time period because, look, we just think it's the right thing to do.
And they pass a law saying retroactively the statute of limitations has been lifted for a year.
And that's when Eugene Carroll comes and files this lawsuit.
Unreal.
I mean, isn't it essentially double jeopardy?
You've gone through the period of time when you could be accused of this.
It's over.
And now they're retroactively opening it up again.
I think anything that was prosecuted under this law, any of these arrangements should be thrown out.
It's completely ridiculous when you have a statute of limitations that has expired to then retroactively say it is unexpired and now you can go after this stuff again.
It's completely ridiculous.

10 seconds, station ID.
Almost nothing about that case.
makes any sense at all.
I totally believe him in this scenario.
I just, I don't think he even knew her.
May have been photographed with her at some party or who knows what, where they were together.
They're both kind of celebrities.
Yeah.
So they both made the Manhattan scene.
They're in the socialite scene.
Yeah.
In Manhattan.
They both were swimming in those circles for a very, very long time.
You know, look,
it's impossible to know.
This is the problem.
You know, I don't know.
That's why you say something.
Something happened.
It seems suddenly.
I don't know the next day.
Or that night or
a week after.
Later, a month after.
Sure.
A year seems like a long time, but okay.
Yeah, and it can be a year.
Look, one thing that should come out of the Me Too situation that would be a real positive for society and certainly women in general, if we could ever define what a woman is, which is
this should be open and encouraging to women.
This whole past five, six years, that
hopefully what comes out of this is that women understand and believe that they will be believed if their accusation is true, right?
People who have really been victimized by awful men who have done terrible things, because let's be honest about it.
If Donald Trump did do this, let's put, let's just, you know, in this mythical world where maybe this actually occurred.
If Donald Trump did do this, this punishment isn't nearly enough.
He should be in prison for the rest of his life if he did this, right?
That's what I want out of rapists.
Yes.
And now I know the left wants them all released unless unless their last name is Trump, but I want them in prison for the rest of their lives.
A late, a 30-year payment in the millions, even if it is a big number, multiple decades later, is not enough punishment for a rapist.
This is a ridiculous way to have a justice system go forward.
And I think honestly, like, if he did this, he deserves more punishment, but we have absolutely no way of knowing that he did it.
They have no evidence.
They don't even know the year.
No one knows.
No one in that jury knows anything about this case.
They know that one woman who hates Donald Trump has made an accusation against him.
That's what they know.
That's it.
They don't know anything else.
And you've come nowhere near proving that.
No.
In a court of law.
Nowhere near.
Now, the standard is different for civil society.
You don't have to prove it.
Yeah.
And the best piece of evidence they appear to have is this, and I think this is crappy evidence, too, frankly, which is this idea of contemporaneous witnesses that she supposedly, we don't know if this is true, but supposedly said something to someone else, one of her friends, that this happened at the time.
And that's treated as this gold standard.
But of course, anyone can say that.
Yep.
Anyone can say that they were told about this at the time.
They certainly don't believe Tara Reed.
Right.
Who also has contemporaneous witnesses of her sexual assault.
Yeah.
Is it true?
I don't know.
How could I know?
I wasn't there.
No one knows except for maybe Tara Reed and E.
Gene Carroll.
But I mean, look, if this, it's one thing to make an accusation with someone you were a coworker with for 40 years.
And you're, okay, we were together all the time.
And one day after an event, blah, blah, blah.
This is someone he claims he doesn't even know.
How can you defend?
How can you say you didn't do this?
when it's someone you didn't even know.
And whether you believe Trump or not, you have to see the the weakness in a case like this it's scary for any innocent person

We're going to be going into the Tucker Carlson thing tonight and diving into this statement.
And we'll do a little bit of this coming up as well about where he's going.
We kind of have a half answer at least on that one
and the legal fireworks that are around the corner.
We'll get into that as well on Stu Does America tonight.
Also tonight, Donald Trump does the town hall on CNN.
Gosh, that's right.
There is so many,
so much going on.
So much.
Yeah, I've never, I don't know if I can remember a day like this.
Just to run through this real quick, Pat,
we started the show with the press conference from the Republicans with brand new information about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, and they laid that whole thing out.
We went through that already today.
We also, of course, are talking about the Eugene Carroll thing, which we have a little bit more to go on on that one, which is really
the part of this that really affects the presidential
nomination and campaign.
We haven't gotten into that yet.
We're going to talk about that here in a second.
We have Tucker Carlson announcing his new plans.
We have the inflation numbers that came out this morning that came out, and everybody's reporting it the same way.
Oh, it's down to 4.9%.
4.9%, first of all, is terrible.
Okay, that's terrible.
It's one of the highest numbers we've seen in 40 years.
In addition to that, it is on top of the number from last year, which was already inflated a lot.
So people look at this and like, oh, prices are coming down.
No, they're not.
They're still increasing off of all-time highs.
Okay.
That's what that number means.
It just means that they went up only, only 4.9% in the last month.
In the last year.
Or last year.
Yeah.
Last year number.
But again, like if you have, you know, if you have a number, like 10% of $100 is $10, right?
And you say, okay, it went up 10%.
It's
$10.
If it goes up 10% again, it's not 10%
off of $100.
It's 10% off $110.
So every time that number goes up, it's going up by more than the original number.
So it's an important thing to understand that these are compounding effects.
And so now we're all facing numbers that are still increasing after all of these interest rate hikes, after all the things they've tried to do.
That's a big thing.
Then you have the Donald Trump town hall tonight coming off of this Eugene Carroll situation and all the other stuff that's going on with him.
Can you imagine what a nightmare that's going to be?
Yeah.
He's going on CNN.
Jeez.
And what's fascinating, I think, about this part of it, when we can talk about this a little bit later as well, is that
the left is pissed.
The left is threatening to boycott CNN, which I find to be fascinating.
If I was a liberal right now, I would be.
begging CNN to bring on Donald Trump.
I would be begging MSNBC to bring him on because you're going to be going after him and you're going to be able to say all the crazy things you want to say and you're going to be able to accuse him of all sorts of stuff and you're going to control the broadcast and you can bail on him and turn off his mic and all the, God only knows what you can do.
I don't know why Donald Trump wants to do it.
Don't understand that at all.
But man, if I was on the left, I would be thrilled about this arrangement.
And then honestly, what might be the biggest story of all of these things is Title 42 going away tonight at midnight.
Yes.
This is the border policy that Trump put in during COVID that has now is going to expire tonight.
Tens, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are across the border waiting to take advantage of this.
Many have crossed already.
And now we're sitting here with a situation that this thing's going to go away.
And
even the Biden administration is going to be like, yeah, it's going to be chaos for a while.
Like, this is their answer to this.
We've had two years to prepare, but yeah, it's going to be chaos.
Oh, good answer.
Good job.
So we'll get into that as well coming up.
Let's finish up on this Eugene Carroll thing, though, if we could, with Donald Trump.
Yeah, he didn't seem to be the greatest witness on the planet.
Well, it depends on what you're looking for.
Well, yes.
It depends on what you're looking for.
If you're looking for entertainment, then yeah, he was really good.
Perhaps the greatest deposition of all time.
But if you're trying to win a lawsuit, maybe not.
Right.
I mean, if you've ever been prepped for a lawsuit by a lawyer, they're extremely specific about what you should be doing and what you shouldn't do, the way you should sound, how you deliver the things you say.
Maybe not telling you what to say, but how to say it.
Definitely.
Well, he didn't follow any of that, especially in the deposition.
And you wouldn't expect him to because that's Donald Trump and that's who he is.
He sounds the same all the time.
But, like, you know, when you're being prepared for a lawsuit, what are the things they tell you?
And I've had several people I've known who have gone through this process, and the lawyers say the same thing every single time, which is, it is your instinct as a human being
to try to communicate information in an interesting and engaging way.
When you're in a conversation with someone, if someone asks you to tell them a story, you want to tell them a story in a way that makes it interesting.
You want to tell details.
You want to supply information.
You want to make them understand.
You want to help them.
You want to defend yourself if someone's accusing you of something.
This is the exact opposite of what you want to do in a deposition.
You don't want to be interesting.
You don't want to be funny.
You don't want to be engaging.
You don't want to give them information that you don't have to give them.
You don't want to defend yourself.
The lawsuit is when you might do that.
You don't even want to defend yourself.
You want to be boring and give them nothing.
Nothing.
That's what every lawyer will tell you.
Give them nothing.
But of course.
But Donald Trump is not capable of play that.
He's too interesting.
He's too engaging.
He's funny.
He's defensive.
He's aggressive in his own defense.
It's the stuff that you like about him as president is what you don't want from a witness in a deposition.
So he went in there and he was just Donald Trump.
Do we have some of the clips here?
We have especially this one where he's...
He's asked about the physical characteristics of people he says are not interesting to him, you know, including E.
Gene Carroll.
One of his comments about her was that she's not his type.
Right.
And he's asked about that.
When you said in that video that Ms.
Leeds would not be your first choice,
you were referring to her physical looks, correct?
Just the overall.
I look at her, I see her, I hear what she says, whatever.
You wouldn't be a choice of mine either, to be honest with you.
I hope you're not insulted.
I would not, under any circumstances, have any interest in you.
I'm honest when I say it.
She, I would not have any interest in.
No, that is a
really funny clip.
It's a funny clip.
It's entertaining.
He's being a total wise ass.
I will say the correct answer to that question in a deposition is yes or no.
And then stop.
Don't say another syllable after that.
That is just what you're supposed to do in a deposition.
And it wound up burning him really badly.
I don't think we had this clip, but
this is a separate incident, but they showed him a picture.
Now, remember, his big,
we talked about this earlier, Pat.
There's no way to defend a claim like this because
you can't say you weren't there.
You can't say you don't know the person.
You can't say anything because there's no evidence against you.
You're just trying to disprove this black box negative, right?
You can't do it.
It's impossible.
And so the only way he could think of to do it, and I guess this is your only defense, is to say, in no circumstance whatsoever could this occur because of X.
His ex was, I'm not attracted to her.
She's not my type, right?
Yeah.
I think she's hideous or ugly or whatever.
And she's not my type.
That's kind of his only defense, right?
Well, except for that.
And people mocked him for that.
Except for the fact that he also claimed he didn't even know her.
He didn't even know her.
But again, I would not be surprised if he doesn't even know her.
How do you prove that?
Well, you can't.
Right.
You also can't prove that she's not your type.
Right.
Other than just it's your opinion.
And at least you're in the same black box situation, right?
You're saying, okay, you can't tell my internal thoughts.
My internal thoughts are I don't find her attractive.
That's what I'm telling you.
That's my defense.
I would never go after a woman like this because I think I find her hideous.
So and by the way, I find you hideous as well.
I want you to know, you're just.
I hope you're not insulted by that.
But frankly, you're butt ugly.
Okay.
Can we just get that out on the table?
And you love that honesty in every circumstance except a deposition.
So
he comes out and at one point, the lawyer shows a picture of Donald Trump standing next to a woman, a blonde woman.
And he says, hey, can you identify the people in this photo?
He looks at it.
He says, that's me and that's Marla.
His wife, a person who I would note, he left his previous wife over.
He was so attracted to her.
He left his previous wife and the mother of his children to go hook up with.
Okay,
that all happens, and then he, then she, the lawyer says, actually, that's not Marla, your wife.
That's the woman you said was not your type, Eugene Carroll.
So, this was a dis
absolutely terrible moment for him, and probably the reason he's going to have to pay five million dollars in this case.
His whole defense was, She's not my type, and then he points to a woman
who is he said was not
his type, and
he thinks it's his wife.
You can't, but my point here is this.
We can all sit here and we all know that Donald Trump is not the ideal witness.
It's true.
He's just not.
Okay.
In these circumstances, everything that you like about Donald Trump is a negative.
Okay.
That's something that any lawyer will tell you.
That being said, he's about to go into separate lawsuits that are much more serious,
with much more serious accusations and that have criminal penalties tied to them.
And
Donald Trump has to understand the gravity of these moments.
You can say, and I think fairly say, that these accusations are BS political persecution.
It's true.
We've seen it happen over and over and over again.
But
take into account the people doing this, right?
They may very well want Donald Trump in prison.
If we say this all the time, everything's against Donald Trump.
He's always being targeted for BS reasons.
Everyone's against him.
If you actually believe that, which I do in these cases, if you believe it, you have to understand the gravity of what he's about to face.
These are cases where they may throw him in prison.
It may be BS.
But they may throw him in prison over some of this stuff.
It's actually a possibility.
And if you don't don't think it's a possibility, then do you actually believe these people are targeting him?
He's been able to get out of all this stuff so far, but now they've had four years of prep to try to take this person out before he's the Republican nominee or before he wins the presidency again.
They will do anything to keep him out of that White House again.
We all know this.
They're sure trying.
We all know this inherently, right?
Like it's what we complain about all the time.
And if what we complain about is true and we really believe it, you have to see he is in real trouble here, and he better understand it going into these depositions.
He can't treat these things like this.
Yeah.
He has to figure out a way to be very non-Donald Trump for a couple of hours.
He's got to figure it out.
Otherwise, he won't even show up on the ballot.
And maybe worse than that,
he could be behind bars.
These people want to take him out.
And they will do anything to do it.
Triple 8-727-B-E-C-K.
More patents too for Glenn coming up.
Let me tell you about American Financing.
Your credit card debt is getting more expensive all the time.
And if you're only able to make the minimum payment each month, it can be overwhelming trying to find a way out of debt.
It's going to take years because most months, you're not even going to touch the principal balance.
If you own a home, there's a better way.
Tapping into your home's equity to pay off high interest debt can make a lot of sense and it can save you a ton of money, both in the short and long term.
And to help you get that set up, I recommend American Financing.
I've worked with them before.
You're going to love working with them.
It's a family-owned mortgage company that's in it for you.
They're saving people just like you an average of $1,000 a month, and you could close in as fast as 10 days.
Plus, you could end up being able to delay up to two mortgage payments.
That sounds nice.
And close in as little as 10 days.
The call is free, and there's no obligation.
Don't wait any longer.
Pick up the phone and call them.
Your savings can start today.
Call American Financing 800-906-2440.

Glenn back.
It's Batten Stew for Glenn.
Today, Today, can you believe it's going to be Mother's Day already on Sunday?
She's.
Where has the time gone?
Crazy.
You want to get something really special for your mom?
I do.
May I suggest Kexie cookies.
Really?
K-E-K-S-I.
Kexi.com.
Will she like them, though?
Oh, she's going to love them.
Really?
She will know that they are the best.
I only like cooking companies that have really amazing flavors that they come out with all the time.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's so
like Kexie.
Oh, really?
They do that?
Yeah.
For the Mother's Day box, if you want to still get that, I don't know if it'll be there on Mother's Day, but it depends on where you're located, probably how far it would have to be.
British last minute.
Yeah.
But they've got the German chocolate with all the gooey goodness in the middle.
My wife has spent untold hours on this hummingbird bread.
Have you ever heard of that?
Not at all.
It's a hummingbird bar.
Have you?
Now that I heard of it, I think I've eaten
and they're delicious.
Is it what's in it?
I didn't know what it was.
I mean, it was really pineapple, banana, pineapple, yeah.
Coconut, sprinkled with nuts on the top nuts in the middle delicious anyway kexi.com
and that's and i will say this about the hummingbird bread if you guys still have it uh it's one of those things you can justify as a breakfast yeah it's important to understand like you know you can't get a chocolate chip cookie and say it's breakfast but the hummingbird bread you could just be breakfast dessert you know you could have it after breakfast yeah maybe yes but yeah but it's harder to justify that you could say look this breakfast bread i got from kexi and they and i think like you're not feeling too bad about it okay all right All right.
Yeah, it's healthy, too.
It's got all kinds of, I mean, bananas.
Right.
Pineapple?
That's fruit.
Fruit.
Fruit.
Exactly.
I would recommend all the Kexie products for sure.
We got to talk about this California proposal, Governor Newsom talking about launching a new hotline for residents to report hate acts that include name-calling.
Oh.
Yeah, that seems like a really good idea.
He really wants this badly.
Sure does.
Nobody wants Joe Biden to be in the the 20% approval rating range faster than Gavin Newsom.
Because he will jump right in.
He wants it.
He wants it.
It's just a matter of whether he thinks this will benefit him because that's how he makes every decision,
including whether he hooks up with his best friend's wife.
Yes.
So.
Also, surprise!
More money for Ukraine.
Glenn Back program.

Well, what do you do in an emergency situation?
If things are going to go the wrong way, how do you prepare yourself and your family?
You shouldn't just give up.

Got no room to compromise.
We gotta stand together in the corner alive.
Stand up, stand, and hold the light.
It's a new day, our time to rise.
What you're about to hear
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Back Program.
Patton Stewart, Glenn, with so much left to talk about.
I mean, Title 42 ends tonight.
They're trying desperately to get illegals cleared out of El Paso, Texas, which has just been overrun.
And it gets worse after Title 42 ends.
We don't know how many hundreds of thousands of people are going to flood across that border, but it's not going to be good.
And so we got that going for us.
California's also set up a hotline to report hate acts.
Interesting.
And in 60 seconds, we'll tell you about Tucker Carlson's plans and share what he shared last night.
Coming up.
This week, as we move toward Mother's Day, I want you to consider contributing to an organization that cares deeply for mothers.
It's called Pre-Born, and its network of clinics exists to offer love, life, and support to expecting mothers who are scared and alone.
and who are being pressured to make the ultimate choice whether to let their unborn child live or not.
Pre-born rescues babies from abortion every day by providing mothers free ultrasounds, letting them see the person that lives inside their bodies and hear that precious heartbeat.
And it works.
For just 28 bucks, you could be the difference between life and death for a baby.
This Mother's Day, you can help
bring the gift of life to both a mother in need and an at-risk baby.
One ultrasound at a time.
It costs only $28, the cost of a dinner to save a life.
Five ultrasounds cost $140.
Every penny goes toward loving mothers and babies.
and when you become a monthly sponsor you'll receive pictures and stories of the lives you've helped save.
To get involved simply dial pound250 say the keyword baby pound250 use the keyword baby or visit preborn.com slash beck preborn.com slash back this is sponsored by pre-born and you can go to preborn.com slash beck to get involved
Is there a better contribution you could make than $28 to save a baby's life?
I can't think of one.
If there is.
It's certainly not a more efficient process, I think, to save a life.
Okay, Tucker Carlson talking about some of his plans for the future.
Short of the announcement that he's coming to the Blaze,
this is a pretty interesting thing.
It is a pretty interesting one.
And I think there's a lot of meat on the bone here.
This is not over.
We're about to go into a very,
very wild legal battle, it would seem, about this.
And also, you know, you're going to be able to see Tucker Carlson's commentary on the news of the day, which is really important.
I mean, Fox contractually
believes they have the power to keep him off the air until after the election.
Now, why would you want to do that if you're Fox News?
I don't know.
You'd think that that would be something they would consider, even if they were like the type of organization that was giving into boycotts.
They had this, you know, mission to bring truth to America and they're getting boycotted.
They just can't keep him on the air anymore.
You'd think they'd want him to be out there still talking, even if they couldn't have him on the air.
Doesn't seem to be their priority at all.
I don't know what their priority is, but it does not seem to be aligned with a lot of their viewers' priorities.
I'll tell you that.
And they haven't even bothered to give their viewers an explanation as to why he's gone.
You think, I mean, think about what this audience has gone through with Tucker Carlson and Fox News.
Bill O'Reilly leaves.
He's a guy who's number one for 20 years,
30 years almost.
And
you remove him from the air.
That's a big thing.
It's a big ask of your audience to stick through us.
Stick with us through this.
We're going to replace him with somebody that you're going to love too.
And they find Tucker Carlson, they put him on the air, and he's able to do a really good job in that slot.
He's able to maybe not have the high-end numbers of Bill O'Reilly,
but also, you know, you have to take into account Netflix and all the other things that have happened in that period.
So he's able to basically be the number one show on cable news.
Most nights, Fox remains the number one or number two cable channel on all of cable.
They go with this company through this tough transition.
That's a lot to ask of your audience.
They do that.
Then they unceremoniously fire this guy with not one word of really what happened.
Why?
Why did we take your favorite host away?
They don't explain it at all.
They just do it.
And that is a remarkable thing to ask of your audience.
And the audience is saying, you know what?
Screw you.
We're done.
We went through this before.
We didn't like it last time.
We stuck with you.
You gave us somebody we did wind up liking.
And now you're firing him too.
And they just lost to MSNBC.
I think it was at seven, eight, nine, and ten.
Yeah.
The other hosts who they also, you know, the viewers also like are being punished for this too, even though it's not their fault.
They're saying, no, we're not doing this.
You know, I was on with Megan Kelly yesterday, who they also allegedly leaked all sorts of negative things about to the press when she left, just like Glenn, who they allegedly,
you know, leaked all sorts of things to the press.
And I say allegedly mainly because I don't want negative items to be leaked about my children to their school newspaper because that's what will happen if I say bad things about the people in in the Fox PR department.
But like, it's interesting to see this happen.
She was talking about the ratings.
And it's
look, most people are not in this stupid business we're in.
Okay.
They don't follow the ratings.
They don't know what these numbers mean.
But I can't overstate how insane it is that last Friday, the Fox News channel in the demographic they care about with advertisers, 25 to 50, or 35 to 54, 35 to 64.
I don't even remember which one it is.
I'm getting confused with the radio ones.
I think it's 35, 64, 25, 64, whatever it is.
In the demo they care about,
they put up
90,000 in the demo.
On Friday night, during Friday night, during 8 p.m.
on Fox News channel.
Time slot.
Oh, my God.
I didn't see that.
90,000?
90.
Ooh, that's bad.
Now, that's down about 70% from Tucker's normal numbers.
Okay.
And the reason that demo is important is because that's who buys things from your advertisers.
These are the advertisers.
If you're over 64, you're not out there buying all kinds of stuff.
Now, if you're under 35, you don't buy as much.
But generally speaking,
prime earning years, 35 to 60.
This is what the advertisers care about.
And it's all these networks care about, too.
I mean, like the big numbers they look at, and those are way down as well.
This demo number of 90,000, to put this in perspective, you may know Glenn Beck from this program.
Okay.
You may know him from the radio show.
You may remember him from the Fox News channel.
What you may not remember is that previous to the Fox News channel, only long time listeners will remember this, Glenn did a show on CNN headline news.
Now, you may not know what CNN headline news is, but let me walk you through this.
There's CNN, and then there's like this ugly stepchild of CNN called CNN Headline News.
They've never really known what to do with it other than throw it in airports.
They've got it all over, you know, they've got the extra space.
They've put different shows on over the years.
Almost all of them have failed.
I mean, this has been a place where shows have gone to die, largely.
There's been some successes out of there.
One of the successes was the Glenn Beck program.
Glenn Beck started there on TV at CNN Headline News.
He did a show at 7 o'clock.
When he started the show, they were getting about 40,000, 35,000, 40,000 in demo
when he started.
And when he left, we were getting about 170,000 in demo, meaning that Fox News at 8 p.m.
is currently getting half of what Glenn got on CNN headline news.
That's amazing.
It is impossible to overstate how crazy that is.
It's the craziest thing I've seen in cable news since the day I started working in this industry.
And I will say this, if you happen to be a person who is still watching Fox News, and there are some, and you're watching Fox News, one thing you will see often discussed on Fox News channel is
mockery, criticism,
you know,
almost an exasperated view.
of Bud Light and the crazy thing they did with Dylan Mulvaney and the incredible result they have seen from this because Bud Light sales are down 20%.
At the same time, their own ratings are down by 70%.
It is impossible to overstate how crazy this has been.
The fact that they blew this guy out with no explanation, no attempt to heal it with their audience.
Nope.
In fact, they went to advertisers and said, you know what?
Actually, we're getting really good advertisers now in that slot.
Like Procter and Gamble is back.
Oh, good.
Well, I'm sure Procter and Gamble have given you one-tenth the ad rates because there's nobody watching the channel is really important.
Sure, that's really important.
But the fact that they're trying to justify.
They did that same BS with Glenn.
Oh, yeah, they always do this.
Oh, it's too controversial.
We can't make any money on that show.
Really?
Really?
You were making money hand over false.
Absolutely were.
And the funny thing is, they are on the borderline of going to these cable companies, which is really where they make most of their money, fees from cable companies, and having to argue to these cable companies, hey, you should pay us even more than you've been paying us because our ratings are down 70%.
Good luck with that argument.
That's good.
And I don't, I'm not a Fox hater.
I am not a guy who says, you know,
look, if you guys out there want to make the Blaze a multi-billion dollar a year revenue company, we will kick the crap out of Fox News.
We will do a much better job for for you than Fox News has ever done.
That I can promise you.
But right now, we don't have those resources.
It's a growing company.
It's a big company, I think, in comparison to a lot of others.
There are other conservative companies out there that would do a very good job if you make them a multi-billion dollar enterprise.
But right now, Fox News is all we got on that standpoint.
You know, I've been watching their coverage on the border a little bit.
Was it Bill McGulan, I believe, is the reporter, who's been down
on the border getting all sorts of crazy drone footage of what's happening down there.
And like, you know, Fox News can afford to send multiple reporters to the border with expensive drones that can hover all day and
they have resources that a lot of us don't have.
And you want to make the Blaze into a multi-billion dollar company, we will kick their ass.
But until that day,
having a Fox News that is viable is actually pretty important to the country.
I don't know where we'd be without Fox News over the the past 20 years.
Yeah.
They're not something to just throw in the trash.
But the way they're acting right now is making their own viewers throw them in the trash next to the Bud Light cans.
I love the thing that they're doing with Dominion right now, too, demanding that Dominion stop smearing Tucker Carlson.
Stop it.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it's Dominion that's releasing all the inside footage from Fox News.
So loud.
What?
How stupid is that?
Come on.
Because, you know, and Megan Kelly's been great on this, talking about this, because she lived through it, right?
Like,
just like, so did Glenn, and so have so many others lived through what this process is like.
But like, two things were leaked to the media.
Two things.
One, texts from Tucker Carlson and potentially texts that were included in
the lawsuit.
Okay, can you blame Dominion for that?
Maybe.
Now, I don't know that we have any evidence of that, but it's possible Dominion would leak that, right?
Possible.
How did Dominion get access to these internal feeds from Fox News?
How do I want to know?
How did that happen?
How did they do that?
And okay, you might say, hey, the internal news feeds.
Maybe this was a disgruntled employee who didn't like Tucker.
Okay, maybe.
How did they get access to the Dominion records?
Nobody had records to both access to both of these things except Fox News channel.
Okay.
And they have a long,
extensive, alleged record of doing this to host after host after host after host.
The second they decide it's better for them to leak negative things about their own hosts, they will do it.
And people wonder, why would they do that?
And the reason is
ego for one thing, because they don't want any host getting bigger than the network itself.
And really, Bill O'Reilly was bigger than the network itself.
Glenn, for a while, was bigger than Tucker Carlson.
Tucker Carlson.
Big and Kelly.
There's a bunch of examples here.
And so they did that to them.
Now, people won't ask why they would do it now because they fired Tucker.
Well, they canceled his show.
So now, of course, they want to sink him.
They want to destroy his audience.
They want to separate him from his audience.
They want the worst case scenario to happen to Tucker because Tucker can go somewhere else and hurt them.
It makes sense now.
It doesn't make sense when they're actually employees and this stuff still happens.
It happened to to Glenn,
allegedly, when he was there, and he was going through one of his many controversies with the press, and everyone was calling for him to be suspended.
And he was going on vacation.
We had a pre-planned vacation.
I had flights booked for this vacation.
Glenn had flights booked for this vacation.
And all of a sudden, right as he, after his Friday show, the press started reporting he had been suspended.
Now, why on earth would that be?
Who would know this?
Only Fox News knew we were going on vacation.
Luckily, we had a couple of decent media reporters who said, is this true?
Because they knew Fox News PR could not be trusted, allegedly.
And they called us and they said, is this true?
And we're like, no.
And they said, do you have any evidence?
We're like, well, we have the emails we sent to Fox News telling them that we were taking that time off.
We have that.
Would that be good?
We have the flights we've already booked for the vacation.
We have that.
Would that be good?
And we were able to shoot that story down only because of that.
But this stuff happens all the time and it's insane.
Now, Tucker is out there fighting for his life, and he has a new video out.
We should go through this, I think.
Let's go through because there's a lot of tidbits in here, really.
A lot that might slip by the average viewer who's checking it out.
And we'll get to that in one minute.
Okay, we got the Tucker Carlson video.
Do we have time?
We have time for a segment here, right?
A little bit of it?
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
So here's some of what Tucker had to say via this video.
Hey, it's Tucker Carlson.
You often hear people say the news is full of lies, but most of the time that's not exactly right.
Much of what you see on television or read the New York Times is in fact true in the literal sense.
It could pass one of the media's own fact checks.
Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it.
In fact, they may have.
But that doesn't make it true.
It's not true.
At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind.
Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective.
You are being manipulated.
How does that work?
Let's see.
If I tell you that a man has been unjustly arrested for armed robbery, that is not, strictly speaking, a lie.
He may have been framed.
At this point, there's been no trial, so no one can really say.
But if I don't mention the fact that the same man has been arrested for the same crime six times before, am I really informing you?
No, I'm not.
I'm misleading you.
And that's what the news media are doing in every story that matters every day of the week, every week of the year.
What's it like to work in a system like that?
After more than 30 years in the middle of it, we could tell you stories.
The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can.
But there are always limits.
And you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it.
That's not a guess.
It's guaranteed.
Every person who works in English language media understands that.
The rule of what you can't say defines everything.
It's filthy, really, and it's utterly corrupting.
You can't have a free society if people aren't allowed to say what they think is true.
Speech is the fundamental prerequisite for for democracy.
That's why it's enshrined in the first of our constitutional amendments.
Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren't many platforms left that allow free speech.
The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now.
Twitter has long served as the place where our national conversation incubates and develops.
Twitter is not a partisan site.
Everybody's allowed here, and we think that's a good thing.
And yet, for the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets.
You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter.
The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge.
We think that's a bad system.
We know exactly how it works, and we're sick of it.
Starting soon, we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter.
We bring some other things too, which we'll tell you about.
But for now, we're just grateful to be here.
Free speech is the main right that you have.
Without it, you have no others.
See you soon.
So much to
a lot of meat on that bone.
We'll come back here in just a couple seconds.
And gnaw on some of it.
And gnaw on the meat.
Yes.
Gnaw on the meat that is on the bone.
Amazing.
Tucker Carlson going to Twitter in at least some form.
We'll get into that here in just a couple seconds.
The Glenn Beck Program.
Jane lives in California and at 71 she's been experiencing pain in her knees and her right arm for a few years and most of the things that she tried during that time to combat the pain really didn't do much for her.
She started to think that she was just going to have to deal with the pain for the rest of her life.
So many people make decisions just like that.
But then she heard Glenn talking about Relief Factor on this show and decided that she would give it a try.
After all, if it didn't work, she'd just be out the 20 bucks for the trial pack.
Good news is the pain went away within a couple of weeks.
Jane got her life back, and so could you.
The three-week quick start is only $19.95.
It's a trial pack.
It's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors.
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more.
Go to relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief to get the 1995 three-week quick start.
Again, it's relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief.
It's relief factor.
Feel the difference, relieffactor.com or call them 800, the number four relief.
There's no reason you have to be in pain for the rest of your life.
Change things.
Try Relief Factor, ReliefFactor.com or 800 for Relief.
Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday from 7 to 9 Eastern Time, live, 6 to 8 Central, or anytime and anywhere you get your podcasts.
Patton Stew for Glenn on the Glenbeck program, 888-727-B-E-C-K.
Coming up in a few minutes, got to bring the don't jump phenomenon to the Glenbeck program.
Uh, we'll share that with you.
Don't jump phenomenon, yeah.
Uh, Joe Biden has a thing with don't jump, don't jump.
He tells everybody that if you're standing like slightly above him, don't jump.
If you're in a balcony or a level, you know, like you, and you can see down to a lobby or whatever, he'll look up and say, don't jump.
Really?
Yeah.
I've never noticed this before.
Now it's been lately, he's, you could be at eye level with him, standing on the ground.
And he'll say, don't jump.
Don't jump.
You know, because joking about suicide is hysterical.
Oh, it's really funny.
Isn't it funny?
Oh, yeah, people are funny.
You know, people love it.
There's one thing people love.
It's suicide jokes.
Yep, they do.
They love
fans.
And especially from the leader of the free world.
They can't get enough of it from him.
So we'll get into that in a minute.
But we wanted to share the Tucker Carlson plan with you.
There's a lot going on in his announcement from last night.
Yeah, you can definitely tell some veiled shots at...
thinly veiled shots at Fox and the way that they're covering him.
And it is true at some level, Pat.
When you work for a company,
there is some sort of barrier as to what you can say.
And everyone understands that, I think.
I think people are comfortable with some level of restriction, right?
Where it's like, you're not going to say things that are going to defame people, that are going to lose your license.
Like we can't lose
the station's licenses here.
That's a big part of our responsibility as broadcasters on radio stations, right?
You got to make sure you don't say things that are over that line.
Politically speaking, that shouldn't be something that a free speech company hates, cares about.
Like that shouldn't be, it shouldn't be like, okay, yeah, you got to not say maybe swear words.
You can't say certain things that aren't true that could defame someone, of course.
But like, hey, do I support this tax policy or the war in Ukraine?
That should not be a line that is
held by
a company, especially one that claims that it cares about free speech.
And that you see a sort of dig from Tucker there, basically saying, you know, I bumped up against things that made them uncomfortable over there without saying their exact name.
The other thing I think, I think the most important, most interesting phrase in that entire
monologue from Tucker
was,
he says, starting soon, we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter.
Now,
that doesn't sound like a particularly interesting line, but it is for this purpose.
There's another way he could have gone with this video, which was,
hey, you know, I, of course, can't be on Fox News right now.
However, I'm contractually
able to post on social media.
So that's what I'll do.
I'll be here on Twitter and I will post some videos to Twitter to keep you updated on things going on.
Could have easily done that.
Now, whether that's true in his contract, I don't know exactly, but like it's a very common thing.
Like, you know, the Blaze never tells me to post anything on Twitter.
I do whatever I want, right?
Same thing with you, although you never go Um, but you can do that, usually, like, it's a you can have to sit within certain guidelines.
You can't say, Hey, you know, what station, you know, what company is better than Blaze is something else, you know.
You can't necessarily
sync your own company or same rules, you can't defame someone, you have to stay within certain guidelines, I guess.
But generally speaking, you can get to kind of do it what you want, it's your venue to express yourself and help promote your show and all that.
So, he could have made that argument, he didn't.
He said, I'm going to
do a a new version of the show we have been doing for the last six and a half years.
Very specific.
We are doing the show.
The show that Fox says I can't do, we're doing it anyway.
Why?
Well,
we find out later that he sent a legal letter to Fox News and said that they were in breach of his contract.
That is a big part of this.
He's basically arguing, I'm out of the contract already because
you guys have breached your duties as a partner in this arrangement, and he's going after them.
And it's funny because there's one thing that Tucker Carlson has in his back pocket that he has not done,
which is
he has a lot of people who support him, a lot of allies out there, a lot of big power players who like him a lot and who support what he's been doing.
He has not told them,
hey, go attack Fox News.
Boycott Fox News.
He has not done that.
He has not gone to his fans and said, hey, Fox News, they did a bad job here.
Don't watch them anymore.
He doesn't really need it to because people are making that decision on their own.
That's true.
It's happened naturally, which has to be terrifying to Fox.
But really pretty gratifying to Tucker.
At least maybe I'm just a bad person.
No.
But if it were me, I'd be gratified.
We're on this side of this arrangement.
Yes.
Yes.
We're on this side of the arrangement, right?
And it's just fun to see a host be able to have that, wield that much power, right?
It is.
And he can, and he, if he wants to, he can go and tell everyone that Fox is bad and they did bad things to him and they don't care about the Republic like you do.
And all those things he can say.
And it would be really, really tough for Fox to recover from that.
You know, I don't think he wants to do that.
I think he wants to just be able to say what he wants to say.
And, you know, they'd be left alone.
Yeah.
Leave me alone.
Stop leaking stuff, trying to destroy me,
which they've clearly tried to do.
They tried to make it, try to make him into a sexist, into a misogynist.
They've tried to make him look like he's mean-spirited, all of these things, which all backfired on him, on them.
And
he comes out looking just fine.
As far as I'm concerned,
I haven't seen anything that was
something that might destroy his career.
No, there's nothing there.
And And it's funny because, you know, we've been talking about how Fox potentially, allegedly, leaks things against their employees.
This is explicitly in his letter.
He says
the lawyers accuse Fox executives of making material representations or promises to Carlson that were intentionally broken,
constituting fraud.
Notably, the letter alleges, this is from Axios, by the way, the letter alleges Fox broke an agreement with Carlson to not leak his private communications to the media and not to use Carlson's private messages to take any adverse employment action against him.
So he's saying in his contract, you say you can't take my private stuff and use that against me to get me fired.
Obviously, it seems like they did that.
At least, I mean, we don't really know why they fired him.
This is probably why they didn't say specifically, but certainly wasn't performance.
Well, yeah, no, because he's number one.
Right.
He's the biggest personality on cable news.
And so, how do you say, yeah, he just wasn't doing well?
No, he was doing really well.
Right.
About as well as you can probably do on cable news.
But apparently that didn't matter.
And they've alluded to a couple of things.
First of all, they said, because people would naturally assume, since the Dominion
settlement was, what, $750 million?
Was it because he was part of that?
I don't think he really pushed the narrative that Donald Trump was fraudulently beaten in the last election.
That wasn't a big thing of Tucker Carlson.
So then they tried to guide you into the lawsuit by the producer that never met him.
And then that was quickly dispelled by the fact that she
never met him.
They weren't even in the same room together.
He did it.
He did his thing in, I guess, Maine, and she was in New York.
And to try to claim that he was sexually harassing her, it's just ludicrous.
Stupid.
Certainly seems that way.
Also, by the way, Tucker accused, he says he was told by a member of the Fox board that he was taken off the air as part of the Dominion settlement.
Now, Fox News is denying that.
They're saying that did not happen categorically false.
But this is the beginning of a really big legal battle.
Yeah.
And the big guns are going to be out on both sides.
You know, Tucker is just going to try to just basically say, no, I'm going to do what I want.
And, you know, you want to sue me?
Sue me.
Him saying the six and a half years thing is just begging them to sue him.
Right.
Like they, he wants the lawsuit.
He wants to fight it out so he can get it over with and get a place, get to a place where he can have a voice here going into the 2024 election.
You know, he, at the way the contract works, they could
just keep him off the air in theory if none of the stuff had happened, the fraud and what he's accusing them of.
They could just, he could just say, hey, you can't talk to anybody about politics basically until 2025.
And it makes you think...
As long as they keep paying him, as long as they keep paying him.
Right.
They just have to keep paying him.
Right.
And that's a which was what, 20 million or whatever?
Reportedly, 20 million a year.
Now, look, 20 million a year sounds nice.
You might say to yourself, I'd love to stay home and make $20 million a year.
And I have actually not only said it to myself, but out loud.
Yes.
I would love to stay at home and make $20 million a year.
I'm fine, whatever.
You just you pay me 20 million uh just to i will sit home oh oh i will sip
another word you won't even hear me talking about anything let alone the politics i won't tweet i won't post anything anywhere and i won't say a word it's possible tuckle carlson is a better person than both of us i mean i'm gonna go out there and say it's very possible
very likely yeah but when you have that situation going on most people just have to sit there and and eat it and tucker doesn't right he can fight back he has ways of fighting back and we will see all the details of how he does that i think in the coming months and years.
But I don't think it's going to be likely that he's just off the air until 2025.
And I think like one of the real questions you have to ask about Fox News and the way they run things over there.
Again, I'm not anti-Fox News.
I want them to be a positive force for the country.
But like if
what they want to do is pay Tucker Carlson roughly $35 million so that no one hears his voice from now until 2025, you kind of have to ask yourself what their priorities are.
Like, what, is it just spite against Tucker Carlson for some dumb reason?
Like, is that important enough to you to take a guy who really makes an impact off the air as we lead into this 2024 election?
Like, what are you risking with something like that?
I mean, do you want, you know, maybe they do.
Maybe they want four more years of Joe Biden and they think this is a good way to get it.
I don't know.
But man, you have to ask those questions, don't you?
Yeah, I think you do.
It's weird, really strange.
It's weird.
Like, look, you had a blow up with an employee over God knows what reason.
Go to them, say, look, here's what it's going to do.
We're just going to stop paying you.
And
you can't do anything for a couple months, or we're going to pay you for the next couple of months, and then we want you, but you can come back in two months.
We need a way to come up with a plan for our business to make our business thrive.
And we can't have you competing with us when we have no chance to build it.
That's a rational request from a business.
Every radio host has gone through that at some point.
You know,
if you
get fired from a job, what they'll largely say,
if it's a good arrangement, they'll say, Look, we don't want to keep you out forever.
We don't want you to, you know, we're not going to enforce the non-compete you have for the next 18 months.
Give us a couple months, let it get settled, and then you can go your own way.
If you have a good relationship with a company, that type of stuff happens all the time.
It doesn't seem what's going to be what's, it seems like these guys hate each other.
It does.
And it's going to get ugly.
Fast.
Fast.
Yeah.
Does anybody else have a Twitter show like this?
Like he's proposing?
I don't know that I've ever seen that on Twitter.
Well, I think this is a big part of the direction of Twitter under Elon.
You know, he has, obviously, it is, it's been this messaging service.
He wants something bigger than that.
You have to stay to 144 words.
Yes.
You have to say
it's a brief show.
No, you can actually, they can do long-form video there now.
Matt Walsh, if you remember, Matt Walsh got permanently suspended or demonetized or something from YouTube.
Yeah.
And he made a big announcement about taking his show over to Twitter.
And now they're posting it at Twitter.
Several people have been doing this lately.
There's been a couple of other podcasts and just unrelated
areas, car repair, big podcasts and that, like have just started posting there.
And look, Twitter has a massive platform.
Yeah.
You know, and if Elon can make it easy to consume the content in long form that way,
which they've taken steps already to do, this could be a massive platform.
It can be a platform of the size of an Apple podcast or, you know, YouTube or any of these other things.
They have a great head start at that.
So, you know, I don't know.
I mean, without the censorship, it could be a real, real
important thing for conservatives and free speech in general.
You know, Elon is saying, like, look.
Hey, if you're a left-wing podcast, you want to come over and do it over here, please do.
He even said something to Don Lemon about it.
He said, hey, Don, if you want to do your show, come on over.
Do it here at Twitter.
Yeah.
You know, and he's opening up these ways for people to get paid through advertising sharing and all those and subscriptions and all those other things.
So I think this is a real force for good.
And this is something that Elon promised.
And so far, I don't know, has he delivered it?
He's made some improvements, been a little weird, but I think this is his long-term plan.
More coming up just a minute.

Glenn Beck.
It's Pat and Stew for Glenn today, 888
727B ECK.
So
last day of Title 42.
And then
the dam breaks, the floodgates open, and who knows what kind of adventure we will experience next, but it's going to be one.
I don't think there's much doubt of that.
There are supposedly hundreds of thousands of illegals that are
on the way.
They're on the way.
So
how have we prepared over the last two years since everybody knew this was going to happen?
There would come a time when the COVID thing won't be used at the border anymore.
So how have you prepared?
Well, we said 1,500
military personnel down there unarmed to do paperwork for the border agents so they can do, you know, what they do, which is
watch people come across the border.
Amazing.
It's funny because they're saying, yeah, we've had a couple of years to prepare, but what they're telling allies behind the scenes is we expect it to be chaotic for a while and eventually calm down.
Now, that may be true.
I mean, eventually it'll calm down for
an amazing admission, though.
That's what they're saying.
They're telling their own people that.
And it's going to be chaotic.
You got to believe.
And already, I mean, if you saw what we played from El Paso, Texas, you know it's already a layback program.
