Hey, welcome to the Friday podcast.

Kind of started in a weird place today because as everything is being flattened out in our society, as algorithms are just making everything the same, I happen to be broadcasting this Friday's podcast and radio broadcast from Wo-Wo Radio, and they're celebrating their 100th anniversary in radio, one of the first radio stations in America.

Why is local radio, why, what can this teach us about the future?

Also, Avi Loeb, he is a professor at Harvard.

He's talking about the three eye.

What is the name of that, Sarah?

Three Eye.

Yeah.

He's talking to us about the three Eye Atlas.

I don't know what it is exactly, asteroid, a comet, or something intelligently designed that's coming our way.

Also, a fascinating interview with Eric Trump on Mom Donny, his father, how he does it without sleep, and Under Siege, the new book by Eric Trump.

All of that on today's podcast.

You know, most mobile companies talk about values

until you look at where they spend your money.

You see it in their donations, their social initiatives.

Yeah, that's the great story there.

They pretty much fund everything that you hate, it seems.

Patriot Mobile is not playing that game.

They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

It's a company that puts principles before politics and customers before the corporation.

You get excellent service on the same nationwide networks.

You get great coverage, plans for every budget.

And here's the difference.

Your money goes to causes that you actually believe in.

Life, religious freedom, the Constitution.

Patriot Mobile takes a simple act of paying a phone bill and turns it into something that actually matters.

You don't have to fund the people who are trying to undo what you stand for.

You can choose a company that stands with you.

And switching is never easier than it is right now.

You can activate in minutes from the comfort of your own home or your office or your car.

You can keep your number, keep your phone, or you can upgrade.

Just make the switch today.

Put your money where your heart is.

Hello, America.

You know we've been fighting every single day.

We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.

We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.

But to keep this fight going, we need you.

Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.

This isn't a podcast.

This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.

So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.

Rate, review, share.

Together, we'll make a difference.

And thanks for standing with us.

Now let's get to work.

You're listening to the best of the Blandbeck program.

Professor Avi Loeb is with us.

Avi, how are you, sir?

Doing great.

Thanks for having me.

Yeah, it's great to have you on.

So

can you just please explain, are we just seeing these things more than we ever have because we have the eyes now in space to see this?

Yes.

Over the past decade, the astronomers constructed the new survey telescopes of the sky.

Also, we have much better computers that allow us to digest large data sets.

But the motivation for building those survey telescopes is a task that the Congress gave to NASA and the National Science Foundation, the NSF, to survey the sky for any objects that are near Earth that could collide with Earth, because that poses a risk.

And they posed it as

the challenge of finding all objects bigger than a football field that may collide with Earth, near-Earth objects.

And

there were two major observatories constructed back a decade ago.

There was PanStars in Hawaii.

And recently, in in june twenty twenty five, a new observatory in Chile was inaugurated called the Rubin Observatory, funded by the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.

And

those allow us to see objects that are the size of a football field and have a complete survey.

And amazingly, in twenty seventeen, an object like that was slagged.

And then the astronomers realized it's actually moving too fast to be bound by gravity to the sun.

So it came from outside the solar system.

It couldn't have been around.

So that was the first.

It was given the name Omuamua, which means scout in the Hawaiian language.

And then

hold on, hold on, hold on, just a second, because I remember this, and I think I talked to you around this time.

Explain what you meant it was moving too fast.

Oh,

well, you know, the planets orbit the Sun.

For example, the Earth moves around the Sun at the speed of about 30 kilometers per second,

which is faster, it's 300 times faster than the fastest race car we have.

I'm talking about 30 kilometers in one second.

That's about twenty miles in one second.

That's the speed by which the Earth orbits the Sun.

But imagine boosting the Earth, just giving it attaching a rocket to it.

Once it would reach a speed of about 42 kilometers per second, just bigger by the square root of two,

relative 1.4 times the current speed that it's moving, it will be able to escape the solar system.

So it just needs a high enough speed to escape from the gravitational potential well of the Sun.

And we know what this speed is.

And so if we see objects moving near the Earth at more than 42 kilometers per second, we know that they cannot be bound by gravity to the Sun.

They must have originated somewhere else.

And so Omuamua was one of those.

And since then, we found two more with telescopes.

I actually identified with my student a fourth one, which was found by the U.S.

government satellites that are monitoring the Earth.

That was a meteor that came from interstellar space.

But at any event, the most recent one was found by a small telescope in Chile

called the Atlas.

Again, to identify risk for Earth.

And

And

that one was given the name 3I Atlas.

So help me out on this because, I mean, we didn't have these telescopes.

This is obviously a relatively new thing that we're doing.

How much damage does a football field size

comet or space debris,

what would that do?

What was the size of whatever killed the dinosaurs, if that indeed was what happened?

What is an Earth killer size?

Yeah.

Well,

the size of a football field can an object like that, if it collides with Earth, can cause regional damage, much more, you know, like of order

a thousand times the Hiroshima atomic bomb energy output.

So kind of like what happened in Russia back in the turn of the last century?

Yeah, something...

No, that one was actually much smaller than that was a thousand times less massive.

So

these big ones are really rare.

And that's why I will say, as we continue the discussion, I will mention this new one.

It's estimated to be

of order, the one that killed the dinosaurs.

And these are extremely rare.

And so the question is, why are we seeing an interstellar object that big just within the last decade?

But coming back to your question,

the size of

the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was roughly Manhattan Island.

So compare the size of a football field to Manhattan Island.

It's a very different scale.

And so, what the Congress wanted NASA to do is identify those that will cause just regional damage, not a catastrophe like happened with the dinosaurs, where there was a nuclear winter.

You know, the Earth was covered with dust.

And yeah, so, and, you know, 75% of all species died.

And we owe our existence because after the dinosaurs died, you know, the more complex animals came along, and we are one of those species.

So you say they're only looking for the small ones, but I'm sure if the big one shows up, you will ring the bell.

No, that's that's yeah, it's much easier.

It's much easier to see the big ones.

Right.

And do we have any technology that can move these things out, or is this just something that we're not

just another thing on the plate?

Oh, by the way, this could happen and it's coming our way and there's really nothing we could do.

Is this just a worry or is there things that we can actually do?

Yes, we can.

Because if you catch it early enough, before it comes close to Earth, you just need to nudge it a little bit to the side, and then it will miss the Earth.

And there are all kinds of proposals for how to do that.

You can,

you know, the most aggressive one is to explode the nuclear weapon on it.

Wouldn't that break it up, and then we'd have all kinds of little meteors coming our way?

Yeah, exactly.

That's why it's not a good idea.

You know, the old Patriot missiles were doing just that and they created that when they were operated

back a decade ago, you know, they created much more damage than help actually.

But you can do it in a more intelligent way, maybe

explode the weapon close to the object so that it doesn't disintegrate, it just ablates part of it, and then you get the rocket effect from

the ablation, pushing it.

But there are other ways.

Some people suggested painting it on one side so that it reflects more sunlight on one side and then it's getting nudged a little bit.

You can imagine shepherding it with by gravity.

You know, the spacecraft is massive enough and it shepherds it.

It attracts it basically gives it a gravitational nudge.

There are all kinds of methods that were produced, proposed.

And by the way, NASA, just

a year ago, they tried one of these methods with a mission called DART, where they collided with an asteroid to see how much it gets

kicked as a result and what happens to it.

And it was quite surprising because some of these asteroids are not very rigid.

They are porous, and you get all kinds of dust thrown out of them in ways that were not anticipated.

So, at any event, the people are thinking about

rocks.

Rocks are easy to deal with because, in principle, you can tell what their path would be.

However, one thing that was never discussed, is the kind of thing I'm trying to advocate we do, is what if there is some alien technology out there, then

if it was designed by intelligence,

you wouldn't be able to forecast exactly what it would do.

It's just like finding a visitor to your backyard.

The visitor may enter through your front door.

You have to act immediately, and you need to engage with it in ways that are much more complicated than dealing with a rock.

Right now you're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program and don't forget check out the full show for even more.

We're back with more after a word from our sponsor.

A relief factor.

Pain doesn't always arrive in your life like a stormy sea, you know, crashing up against the rocks on the shoreline.

It is sometimes, it just creeps in over time.

A twinge here, a stiff joint there, until one day you realize, you know, you're living smaller than you used to.

You stop doing the things that you love because you know they're going to hurt.

Well, take my word for it.

That is no way to live your life.

Relief Factor was created for people who refuse to accept that kind of thing.

It is a daily supplement developed by doctors that helps your body reduce inflammation naturally so you can move and live and work the way you always used to.

And there's no drugs.

There's no quick fixes, just real relief built on science and trusted by millions.

Because, you know,

the moments that you have free from constant pain, the world opens up again and you realize how much life you were waiting, you know, to experience and how much life has passed you by.

Relief Factor.

It's not just about feeling better.

It's about living better.

Now back to the podcast.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

I am sitting in a brand new studio,

state of the art, at WoWo in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

WoWo is this amazing radio station, and I am here to celebrate their 100th anniversary as they are launching into their second century of broadcast and grabbing on to the future.

I'm here because when we launched, Wo-Wo, I think, was one of of the first five stations.

I know we launched with 20 stations.

And I think they were like the number four, number five that signed on.

They were with us on the very first day that we launched the Glenn Beck program.

But beyond that,

WOWO in Fort Wayne, Indiana, was one of the very first stations in America, in the world.

And what it has meant,

what it has done, and what it's about to do is remarkable.

Back in 1925, there was no such thing as a network.

CBS had not even started to put together a network, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

Radio was brand new.

The air was silent.

And Wo-Wo launched.

And when that voice spoke, people listened because they knew it was speaking to them.

Wohoo was never a spot on the dial.

Our local radio stations are...

I don't know if we really appreciate our local radio stations.

Everything has changed, and yet something still remains true.

And it's that truth that finds its way through the static on the air.

It's that truth of a friend in the dark hours of a war, or the comfort during a storm when everything else is down, the laugh on a long morning commute.

In Fort Wayne, Indiana, for a hundred years now, when blizzards shut down the roads, when the headlines

when the headlines scarred us, or when hope felt small, there was always that voice humming through the night, a reminder that we're not alone.

And it's local radio.

This is a station that helped put Fort Wayne on the map.

It was

its first broadcast carried not music and news.

Its first broadcast carried with it identity.

And this is so critical.

Everything is being flattened out now.

Everything, you go to one town after another, and they're all the same.

They have the Ann Taylor and the Gap and everything else.

And it's exactly the same.

The first broadcast carried,

and the broadcasts that are still carried on your local station,

Wo-Wo

told the nation that Indiana had something to say, and that people could be both humble and mighty.

It gave a voice to the farmers, and the shopkeepers, and the school teachers, and the kids with dreams bigger than their town's borders.

It carried their music, their songs.

Wo-Woe was the first radio radio station in the country to carry a basketball game.

It carried their prayers.

When they first launched in the 1920s, they had a huge pipe organ, and every Sunday

they would have services on the air.

But what made these few stations so unique when CBS, two years after Wo-Wo went on the air, maybe four years after they went on the air, they decided, the Columbia Broadcasting System decided that they were going to make a network.

But how do you make a network?

Wo-Wo was one of the first 16 stations to say, we'll share the burden.

We will go to the Bell system, now AT ⁇ T,

and we will buy the phone lines from New York and we'll string them all the way to Fort Wayne.

And that way we'll be able to carry a network show on a phone line.

And at night, when its clear channel signal stretched across the map from the Carolinas to New England, travelers and truckers that were far from home could turn on the dial and hear the warmth of the Midwest.

I used to listen to KFI

early in the morning up in the Pacific Northwest, and I could hear the sound of Los Angeles.

Here,

amongst the busy streets along the coastline of the Atlantic, people would be able to hear home.

Woah woah was the sound of home that was carried on the wind.

Today we're kind of lost.

Today we don't really know who we are.

It's a world overflowing with noise.

And yet there are those local stations, and I see them in town after town when we go to serve after a hurricane.

It's the local station, it is the wo-wo of the market that is still doing what it always has: listening, serving,

and reminding who we really are.

For a hundred years, this radio station has proven that community isn't something that we click on.

Community is something that we build.

And

when you build it together and the static fades,

something remarkable happens.

We begin to hear each other again.

Do you remember what it was like if you're at my age or maybe even a little younger listening to the ball game under the blankets?

You'd go into your bed and you'd turn on your radio, your transistor radio, and you could listen in the middle of the night and you would listen to voices far away.

Today you're doing that.

You're listening to voices all around the world.

You're seeing images in your hand instantly, live.

Information is infinite.

The problem is, trust is scarce.

And that's why Wo-Wo and stations like it endure.

And they endure perhaps more urgently than ever before

because they stand as proof that localism, the small town, the shops, the the neighbors, the farms, they matter.

When you watch national news, when you're seeing things on Facebook, everything is flattened.

The perspective is just flat, and the algorithms tailor the outrage for you.

And then there's the local station that says, No, no, no, remember, here's who we are.

Here's where we live.

Here's what we love.

I've developed a new slogan internally for my own company, and that is:

think small, dream big.

Everybody's thinking too big.

Think small.

Connect with neighbors.

Support your small business.

Give people that are next to you a platform.

Because when you get to this level, when you get to the small local hometown, and yet

one of the first network stations,

when you get to a place like Wo-Wo, it's where it's one of the last institutions where people from opposite ends of the political spectrum might still hear the same words at the same time.

In a divided America, that is rare and that is sacred.

I travel the country.

I've been in radio now

in 2027.

It will be my 50th year in broadcast.

I have been broadcasting half the time that Wo-Wo has been in business and it was one of the first stations in America.

And I travel the country

and

the towns are the owners that don't appreciate or don't understand the power of local radio.

They have lost something irreplaceable.

Not sound.

We have plenty of sound.

We've lost our story.

We've lost the voice that says,

Good morning, Fort Wayne,

and actually means it.

Such an honor to be here today.

It really is.

And I know if you're listening someplace, especially in a big city, this maybe doesn't mean anything to you.

But it should.

Because in the end, it's not going to be a national voice that saves.

It's not going to be

the federal government.

It's going to be all of us in our little towns all over America that saves things.

And it's stations like WoWo that remind us the value is not in watts or ratings, but in its quiet reminder that community is more than people sharing space.

It's people sharing sound and memory and truth.

It was and remains

the heartbeat and the static.

Happy 100th anniversary, WoWo Radio.

Thank you for being an original sponsor, an original affiliate of the Glen Beck program.

I remember the first time I was here.

I had just written my first book.

It was called The Real America.

About four people read it.

I showed up at a bookstore here in Fort Wayne.

And I had to stay there for, I think, an hour.

I was contractually.

I had to stay there for an hour and nobody was there.

I mean, after like 15 minutes, the whole place was empty.

And I'm like, oh, this is so awkward.

I'm standing around in this bookstore and nobody is here.

And these little old ladies came up

and they were local.

And this one lady was introducing me to her other friends who hadn't listened to me yet.

And at one point, she brought me a pie.

Another lady I think brought me a loaf of bread.

And these were in the days when a listener could bring me something and I could actually eat it.

And this lady said to me, we were sitting there talking and she reminded me of my grandmother.

I could see her quilting her, what my grandmother used to say, her lap robe.

My grandmother would quilt these blankets.

We didn't know until after she died.

She would quilt these blankets all winter long.

We'd see her, but we didn't know what she was doing with them, and she was giving them to the homeless.

And I could see this woman, just like my grandmother, just quietly quilting.

And she looked at her friends, and she said, You need to listen to this young man.

She said, He's a really good boy.

And then she grabbed my cheek and she shook my cheek.

And she said, Just

sometimes he gets a little out of control, but he's a good boy.

I was driving this morning early in Fort Wayne.

It's still a town with a heartbeat.

They've redone the downtown.

It's beautiful.

I should probably tell you it's not because I don't think everybody wants people to go, oh, I want to live in Fort Wayne.

I think they would like to keep it like this, but

the neighborhoods are still neighborhoods.

The big old houses aren't all run down in some ghetto.

It's beautiful.

And the trees are starting to turn colors.

And some of the factories are even being used again.

I was just at Berna, one of our sponsors there here in Fort Wayne.

And they've been building here and building factories as America gets back to work.

I thought I could live here in a heartbeat.

But time goes on, and so does the news.

And things get busier and busier and busier.

And

I got here yesterday, and I was worn out because I had spent a few hours with the president this week.

The guy who had flown on Sunday, left left in the afternoon on Sunday, went, flew across the ocean, went to Israel, greeted the hostages as they were being released, celebrated, then went and spoke at the Knesset for two hours, then got on another plane, went to Egypt, negotiated a peace deal.

Did all kinds of talking and picture-taking and shaking of hands and everything else, got back onto a plane, arrived, met with the president of Argentina, Malay,

and then walked out into the Rose Garden and did a tribute to Charlie Kirk.

And then, after that, he walked back into the Oval Office, and I was standing outside of the Oval Office at one point, and it was lined with people waiting to go in and see him.

And it was the vice president and the secretary of state,

the guy moving

so rapidly, and I was tired.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome back to the Glenn Beck program.

I'm in Fort Wayne, Indiana today celebrating WoWo's 100th anniversary.

I'm back tonight for the fundraiser for the Mercury One gala tomorrow.

I have to tell you, I travel quite a bit

and, you know, I get usual worn out like everybody else does.

And then I go to the White House and I see this president who is,

I don't know, 15 years older than me.

And the guy is powering through.

I mean, he had 36 hours without sleep, flying across the world, doing all kinds of stuff, meeting with everybody, holding press conferences.

He comes back.

He holds a press conference, meets with Javier Millay, then does the Charlie Kirk thing.

Then I'm standing in the hallway of the White House and I'm seeing all these people, the vice president going into for a meeting and then Secretary Rubio's going in for a meeting.

Meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting.

Then he has a two-hour phone call with Putin.

I mean, when does this guy sleep?

How does he do it?

And that's a sincere question.

Eric Trump is with us now.

He's the author of a new book called Under Siege.

This is a compelling book.

Everyone should have this.

Anyone who says, oh, you know, look what they're doing.

I want you to read Under Siege.

I want you to see what the left did to the Trump organization and the Trump family.

Eric, welcome to the program.

How does your dad do this?

Listen, the guy's guy's incredible, right?

I think I've told you this before, but I mean, he's the Energizer buddy in a suit, wearing a red tie on steroids.

The guy is remarkable.

My entire life I've seen this.

What's amazing is so many of these kind of fake news journalists that you see that are on kind of foreign trips with him,

they were the ones 10 years ago, Glenn.

You know this better than anybody.

I think you reported on it better than anybody.

But will Donald Trump have the stamina to be president, right?

And literally, they're falling off of Air Force One.

Now they slept the entire time, you know, on the way over there and on the way back.

My father didn't sleep at all.

He goes over there.

He's in two stops in Israel.

Then he meets every world leader in Egypt.

He does private meetings.

He does two press conferences.

He flies back to Andrews Air Force Base, comes off, as you said,

meets with the whole Argentinian delegation, does Charlie Kirk.

I heard from him at 11:30 that night.

I mean, no, the guy is absolutely remarkable.

I mean, sleep isn't one of these things that we've ever had in our gene, but the guy is beyond remarkable.

He does not stop.

He does not quit.

He does not cower.

He's a worker.

And that's exactly what this country needs.

Has he always been, what is he, three three hours, two hours of sleep a night?

What does he get?

Yeah, probably three hours.

I mean, yeah, he's a good one.

Do you have that in your family?

Do the rest of you guys have this in your genes?

Yeah, well, I did a podcast live from Israel last night at 2 a.m.

And

I was at it again this morning at 6.30.

So, yeah, we've never been good sleepers in our family.

And it's not that we're not good sleepers.

We just don't sleep much.

And, you know, he's one of these guys who's always been myopically focused on whatever he wanted to do at the time, right?

If it was real estate, he's myopically focused on a building.

If it was, you you know, building a golf course, if it was the apprentice, he was myopically focused on every aspect of the show, of ratings, of PR for that show.

And certainly when he went to politics, it was the same thing, right?

Nothing else mattered.

He just, he's laser focused on whatever he wants to achieve.

And the guy's remarkable.

And right now, he is laser-focused on the success of this country.

I've never seen somebody just effectively X out the distractions as well as him, you know, the temptations, the other things, and just focus solely on one mission and put every ounce of their energy and heart and soul into achieving it.

He's a remarkable guy.

He's my best friend in the world.

And, you know,

I feel that I kind of take on that same trait.

What a cool thing to say about your father that he's your best friend.

Before we talk quickly about the book, the Mom Donnie thing.

What the hell is wrong with New Yorkers?

I mean, what is going to happen to New York if that guy wins?

Well, he's going to, I mean, I hate to say this, right?

I'm going to get criticized for saying that, but he's going to win.

He's promising free everything to everyone.

It's insane.

I mean, listen, I'm not going to say that.

That's due to the economy to the rest of the United States.

Yeah, of course.

Well, that's what he's doing.

Listen, he's talking about how he's going to raise taxes in New York, and DeSantis in Florida, where I live, is talking about how he's going to get rid of all property taxes because so much money has flowed into the state of Florida from New York.

I mean, think about the great

irony there.

I mean, you know, they said the top 18,500 taxpayers in New York City paid 85% of the taxes in New York City.

And guess what?

They're all gone.

I mean, they left.

And it breaks my heart because I'm a guy that loves, I love New York, but they've destroyed it.

I don't know why everything needs to be a social experiment.

I mean, and I understand political bravado.

You probably understand political bravado better than any human being in the world.

The difference is, he's on Martha McCallan yesterday on Fox News, and he literally says if Benjamin Netanyahu comes to New York, he's going to arrest him.

I mean, this is a major world leader.

Now, world leaders aren't going to want to come into New York City to the UN because out of fear of getting thrown in jail.

What is this human being doing?

He hates the NYPD.

He wants to defund them.

He hates the Indian population.

He says that Modi is a war criminal.

He obviously hates the Jews based on the fact that he wants to arrest Netanyahu.

He wants to nationalize grocery stores.

I mean, how about safe streets, clean streets, and just low taxes and let capitalism work and New York will be the greatest city in the world.

It's not a hard recipe.

We are a nation that is so divided, going in two different directions.

And

I mean, we're seeing it.

And if he gets in, and I think you're right, he's going to get in.

It is, it's going to be stark.

What's going to happen to New York is going to be stark.

And the same thing with Jay Jones.

This, you know,

you guys know it.

You guys have been under attack and they've been calling your father a fascist and everything else.

And then they try to kill him twice.

And, you know, you have Jay Jones, who's just...

That was heartfelt.

That wasn't a slip of the tongue.

That wasn't a joke.

That was heartfelt.

The people he was talking to tried to stop him from saying it, saying, don't say these things.

This is horrible.

Well, you got to do that.

The only way to make people change their political viewpoint is to cause them pain in their life.

You're talking about killing his children.

But that's what they did under siege.

They wanted me gone.

They wanted me killed in every way, shape, or form, both physically and otherwise.

I became the most appended person in American history for doing absolutely nothing wrong.

I've never gotten a speeding ticket plan.

And

they wanted me gone.

They wanted me off that stage.

They wanted to divide our family.

That's why they made up the dirty dossiers.

That's why they made up the stories about golden, you know, what's the prostitutes, which are paid for by Hillary Clinton.

That's why they made up the fact that we had secret servers in the basement of Trump Tower communicating with the Kremlin.

That's why they threw us off of Twitter and YouTube and Instagram and Facebook.

That's why they put the gag orders on

our family.

That's why they brought us into court every single day, 91 indictments.

We spent $400 million defending ourselves based on BS.

That's why they threw my father off the ballots in Maine and Colorado.

That's why they leaked our tax returns, mine, my father's, everybody in our family, everybody, all the executives of our company, they leaked all our tax returns to the New York Times, the IRS.

They raided our home.

They raided Mar-a-Lago.

I mean, where do you want me to stop?

They were planting classified folders on the floor of my father's office, taking photo shoots of them and sending them to the New York Times.

You had Tomey, you know, leaking to the New York Times as FBI director every day in an effort to undermine my father.

They were spying on our campaign.

I could go on for another two hours.

I mean, those are just a couple of the obvious ones.

They put us under siege.

They wanted to inflict harm.

They wanted to inflict pain.

They wanted to see us in a jail cell.

They wanted to see us bankrupt.

They wanted to see us voiceless.

And when I say us, it's not just the Trump family.

It's you.

It's all of your listeners.

They were weaponizing the IRS against conservative organizations, against churches, against pastors, right?

I mean,

they implemented DEI, so so many great people missed promotions in their workplace to somebody who was far less qualified, all based on some fictitious standard.

Blenny, they were coming after all of us, and that's the story of the siege.

The siege just wasn't against our family.

It was against the entire conservative movement and everybody who loved God and the Constitution and the American flag and just wanted to make America great again.

And that's the story of Under Siege.

I have to tell you,

I think this book is so important historically.

And for anybody who has anyone in their family who is saying the things, the CNN had a Kyron on the bottom of the screen,

the banner on the bottom of the screen.

And it said, third Trump enemy to be indicted in 21 days.

And they were making the case that Comey, James, and Bolton are all being indicted because your dad has a thing against him and just wants to

politically go after his enemies.

And I saw that and I thought, who are you people that you, you actually believe that that, if, if Donald Trump wanted to respond in kind, it wouldn't be with three people.

I mean, this is such a small response.

If it was a response, and it's all being done by the book, and they will never admit what they did to your family.

That's why I think the book is under siege.

Get it.

That's why it's important.

But anyway, go ahead.

It was all coordinated.

I mean, you know, Letitia James was going to the White House and Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade were going to the White House House, and,

you know, the vice president's house.

They were all going to the White House.

It was all being coordinated.

You know, remember, when they raided Mar-a-Lago, they said the raid was on behalf of NARA, the National Archives, which is effectively a public library in Washington, D.C.

You think a public library raids Mar-a-Lago, the former president's house, probably the most famous house on earth?

Give me a break, right?

And honestly, what I would say is if you have that liberal sister or liberal brother or a liberal family member, I hope you could give them this book and just allow them to read the first three chapters.

And I think they'll say, wow.

You know, regardless of where you stand on certain political issues,

their jaw will hit the floor because

the state was so fundamentally un-American.

It was so wrong on every front.

And I want people, and I don't want revisionist history to change the narrative because you know that's exactly what they do.

They're better at revisionist history than anybody in the history of the world.

Just look at Wikipedia and look at the facts.

They can't change the narrative, and it had to be documented for all time.

And

I think that's why this book's gone parabolic.

I mean, it's number one on Amazon.

It has been for the last week.

It has gone absolutely viral.

It is selling off the charts.

And

people are upset.

I mean, Glenn, people are really upset.

And it's mainly your audience and the people who love this nation, love our flag, and love God.

And they're pissed off.

They're really pissed off.

In the book, you warn about the threats to liberty.

And I have to tell you, if J.D.

Vance or whoever doesn't win in 28, we lose control of Congress,

I think the vengeance that is coming, I mean, these are vengeful people.

What should individuals do?

What are you guys doing

to avoid the next onslaught, should that happen?

You know, it's funny, it's their only playbook.

Their old playbook used to be identity politics, and that was the only playbook that they were good at.

Their policy sucked, but they played identity politics.

You're a racist, right?

And, you know, yes, we picked up more African-American votes than any conservatives ever.

You're anti-Semitic, which is kind of funny considering my sister is Jewish and my father's been the greatest thing for Israel ever.

You're sexist, right?

We heard that for years.

It's kind of funny.

My father is the only person who's ever had a female campaign manager, and he did it twice, both in Kellyanne Conway, who won in 2016, and obviously Susie Wiles, who won in 2024.

I mean, you go down the list, you're fascist, yet they're shooting one of my close friends in the neck, you know, dressed in black from a rooftop across the heads of college kids as they exercise free speech, right?

I mean,

they used to be good at identity politics.

Now that's all falling apart.

And so now what they do is because they've lost the narrative, they turn to violence.

And that's why we see friends of ours getting shot in the neck.

That's why they tried to kill my father.

When dialogue breaks down, they just turn violent.

And that's why you see those text messages you saw from the AG candidate in Virginia.

They know no other game other than weaponize and rig a system.

We saw them rig a system in 2020.

There's not a single person in this country, including Barack Obama, who thinks that Joe Biden got 16 million more votes than Barack Obama.

And I'm shocked that no one's ever asked Barack Obama, do you really believe that Joe Biden got 16 million more votes than you did in 2012?

I'd love to see the reaction on his face, and I'd love to see him try and answer that because everybody knows this.

All the Democrats are good at are rigging a system.

And so do I have any doubt that they're going to play their games again?

Absolutely not.

It's like how these people are bred.

It's like it's all they know in their genetic code.

I only have about 40 seconds here for you to answer and answer if you want.

If Mom Donnie wins, when Mom Donnie wins, will the Trump organization stay in New York?

I mean, we've already moved to Florida.

You know, we still have offices in New York and we have a lot of assets in New York, but I love that city.

I love that state.

New York is untouchable if you just had confidence.

If I ran New York, safe streets, clean streets, low taxes.

and let capitalism do what it does best and nothing could beat New York.

No state could beat New York.

Nothing, no city in the the world could beat New York, but they're incapable of doing that.

Everything has to be a social experiment.

Everything has to be this kind of, you know, experimental Petri dish.

It's such a shame, and it's not going to be good for the state.

Are we hearing a future headline?

Eric Trump running for mayor of New York at some point.

Oh, definitely not mayor of New York now.

Please don't give me nightmares, please.

I love the function giant statement.

I'm a Floridian true and true.

Yeah.

Eric, thank you so much.

Good to talk to you again.

The name of the book is Under Siege.

I can't recommend it highly enough.

This is what everybody is arguing, that Donald Trump is

doing all these fascist things.

You want to know what Under Siege actually is?

Read Under Siege, available wherever books are sold.

Eric, thank you so much.

We'll talk again.
