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.
Speaker 2
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?
Speaker 2 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.
Speaker 2
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.
Speaker 2
Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.
Speaker 2 Down the road where shadows hide, till the dark on every side.
Speaker 2 Stand your ground when times get dark. Gotta face the dark
Speaker 2 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Speaker 2 This is
Speaker 2 the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 2 Well, hello, America. There's a lot going on.
Speaker 2 Especially in the great country of France.
Speaker 2
Another politician has been taken out. Yeah, Maureen Le Pen.
Now,
Speaker 2 you might know her as somebody, somebody who's a far-right radical. She's crazy.
Speaker 2
She's a Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi. They've just put her in jail and banned her from running for president of France.
Hmm.
Speaker 2 Methinks this isn't going to work out well.
Speaker 2 We'll talk about that and so much more coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about Jace Medical.
Speaker 2 You know, it makes all the difference in the world having a false sense of security versus having a genuine sense of security. Huge, huge difference.
Speaker 2 A plan, a real workable plan that you can execute when and if the time comes.
Speaker 2 If you or someone you love are all of a sudden sick in the middle of the night, let's say you can't get to a doctor or a pharmacy in the middle of the night because both are closed, what do you do?
Speaker 2
Wait and suffer? Maybe in the old days that was okay, but we live in the future, future, future. That's why you need the Jace case from Jace Medical.
It comes with a life-saving antibiotic kit.
Speaker 2 You can keep it on hand, hand, and it also comes with a manual on exactly how to use each of the medications.
Speaker 2 It's got room for add-on medications you might want to keep on hand as well, things like ivermectin, you know, in case your horse gets sick.
Speaker 2 Basically, the Jace case is there to help turn that adventure you didn't know you were going to have into one you were ultimately prepared for. Order your Jace case today.
Speaker 2 Use the promo code PEC, that's P-E-C-K. When you go to jaceja.com for a discount, use jace.com promo code Beck.
Speaker 2 Hello, Stu.
Speaker 1 Glenn, how are you?
Speaker 2 Well, I'm good. I mean, we got a lot to talk about.
Speaker 2 Trump did a lot this weekend, a lot of stuff going on, but this story just caught my eye this morning, just breaking, that the French far-right leader, Maureen Le Pen, has been barred for running for president in 2027 after a court found her guilty of a vast system of embezzlement of European Parliament funds, banned her from running for public office with immediate effect.
Speaker 2
Now, that seems pretty convenient, doesn't it? It is really convenient. Really convenient.
Luckily, you know,
Speaker 1 all the people that were going to be running against her where she was the actual favorite,
Speaker 1 they now don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 2 They don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 2 Yeah, but it had nothing to do with that, Stu. It was all crimes.
Speaker 1 No, it's incredibly convenient for them, though. It's a great, I mean, because you think it's really hard to win against a particular.
Speaker 1 It's like, I don't know if you know this, the Super Bowl champions, Philadelphia Eagles. Shut up.
Speaker 1
They won the Super Bowl this past year. Shut up.
And now they're trying to ban the play that they do better than every other team.
Speaker 2 It's kind of like that.
Speaker 1 It's like, hey, what if we just stop them from doing the things that they're good at?
Speaker 1 What if we stop the candidates that we're running against and just accuse them of crimes and then throw them out so that we don't have to run against them?
Speaker 2 No, wait a minute. Just to be fair with France, Nicholas Sarkozy was convicted in 2021 of corruption and influence peddling.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 2
He could still run, however. He can.
He can still run.
Speaker 1 He's not a threat, though, at all.
Speaker 2 No, to win again.
Speaker 2 The former prime minister and 2017 presidential candidate was convicted in 2020. This is
Speaker 2 Francois Philon.
Speaker 2 He was convicted in 2020 of embezzlement and creating fake jobs for his wife.
Speaker 1 Did he get banned from well?
Speaker 2 He was five years, three years suspended, but he still, yeah, he can run. He can still run.
Speaker 1 He can still run.
Speaker 2 He can still run. run, but not Le Pen.
Speaker 2
Uh, she's somehow or another different. We, you know, this is serious crimes, even though the other two are serious crimes as well.
Uh, but uh, she she can't, she can't run,
Speaker 2 so we got that.
Speaker 2 Well, it seems to be happening a lot in uh in Europe where they just seem to be finding these crimes, or they just have found some elections that they're like, you know what, we just don't think that's right, we don't think that's what the people really meant to do.
Speaker 2 Let's overturn that election.
Speaker 1 I, you know still i
Speaker 2 i mean
Speaker 2 i'm not a historian but i am a thinker and it doesn't seem like these things ever work out well no yeah i mean i don't have to go back to nazi germany which i could uh where they threw adolf hitler into the clink which made him a hero i mean i could go there but i don't have to uh did anybody notice the election of uh
Speaker 2 donald trump hmm when did that happen?
Speaker 1 When did that happen? Was that recent?
Speaker 2
I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
But I think there was some funny business there where they were trying to keep throwing him in jail and trying to.
Speaker 1 You know why that doesn't work? I honestly believe this is because
Speaker 1 the people get pissed off that you're trying to make the decision for them.
Speaker 1 That's why it has nothing to do with whether the person who got thrown in jail or threatened to be thrown in jail is a good person.
Speaker 1 I don't know if Maureen Le Pen is a good person or whether she should be president of France.
Speaker 2 I have no rooting interest.
Speaker 2 Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 I heard her dad dad was pretty bad. Yeah.
Speaker 1 But I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 Who knows?
Speaker 2 Not French, don't really care.
Speaker 1 Not French, don't really care, and not really following it all that closely.
Speaker 1 But like the French people get annoyed at that, I think. At least I know the American people do.
Speaker 2 I think all people do.
Speaker 1 I think so too.
Speaker 2 You probably, the one that I put number one on the list on don't do this to, Germans.
Speaker 2 I don't know what that makes me, why I think that, but you know, let's not have them, you know, recently, you know what they're doing now?
Speaker 2 They've decided, you know what, we need to build an army.
Speaker 2 Okay, I mean,
Speaker 2 okay, I mean, let's not piss the people off while they're building an army. What do you say?
Speaker 1 What do you say? Yes, I it's a it's a it's a
Speaker 1 bad thing. Double-edged sword on
Speaker 2 building an army thing.
Speaker 1 I get it.
Speaker 2
But here's what happens. What happens is you're exactly right.
It actually galvanizes people. Yeah.
Because they no longer trust the system. They're like, what the hell?
Speaker 2 Why are you taking my choice away? Yeah.
Speaker 1
Don't take it away. Don't take it away.
Let me make the choice. Because I think the American people certainly, and I think the French people probably say, I can look at these allegations.
Speaker 1
I can look at what's going on here and make the decision myself. People, by the way, did that with all the allegations against Donald Trump.
And they said, you know what? I don't see anything here.
Speaker 1 Yep. Right? Like they were just like, no, I don't think
Speaker 1
this is going to happen. We're going to make this decision.
We talked about it at the time. The largest jury in the world was just around the corner.
There was no reason to try to throw him in prison.
Speaker 1 Let the American American people decide whether what they think,
Speaker 1 whatever he did with Stormy Daniels, was big enough for him not to be president.
Speaker 2 We know better.
Speaker 2
We know better. No, no, no, we know better.
Well, we don't know better. The judges know better.
Judges always know better. You know, they did this with Erdogan.
You know, does anybody remember?
Speaker 2 I mean, he's like, aren't they like a spooky state now with Erdogan? Isn't he like
Speaker 2 somebody we should keep our eye on?
Speaker 2
What happened? He, he, I think he either recited a poem or published a poem that was deemed to be anti-secular. That's against the constitution.
And so he was imprisoned. And what happened?
Speaker 2 Because he was anti-secular in a largely Muslim country, everybody was like, he's my man.
Speaker 2
The ban was lifted on him and he became, you know, the prime minister again. And look at what's happened.
Look at Turkey now.
Speaker 2
Friendly nation? I don't think so. But good news.
It's in NATO. So something happens with them.
We got to go send our boys to protect them. So that's
Speaker 2 good news.
Speaker 2 This is not going to work out well. I mean,
Speaker 2 they just keep poking and poking and poking the bear.
Speaker 2 Have you seen, did you see what happened in Sweden this weekend with all of the protests? All of the things that are going on with is it's becoming an Islamic state.
Speaker 2 The whole place is becoming an Islamic Islamic state. Look at what's happening in
Speaker 2 England alone. They're, what, 10 years away? Just from birth rates, 10 years away of being the major population, 20 years.
Speaker 2 And that's if everybody stays cool.
Speaker 2
And wait a minute. How come you're throwing all of the people who are standing up going, hey, you know, I don't have a problem with Islam.
I do have a problem with, you know,
Speaker 2 they're banning, machetes, not machetes,
Speaker 2 the Japanese
Speaker 2
swords, yes. Samurai swords.
Samurai swords. Why? Well, people are being beheaded.
Why? I don't know.
Speaker 2 I mean, it's just a.
Speaker 2 It's not going to, again, I just.
Speaker 2
France, I know I don't speak your language, but. Oh, you do.
I've heard you.
Speaker 1 You've done that before.
Speaker 2 Well, I mean, yeah.
Speaker 2 Oh, you should wake up now, huh? You should probably.
Speaker 2 You should probably wake up because
Speaker 2
I'm just saying. I'm just saying.
Oh, by the way, there's another story out today that's in our show prep that is kind of
Speaker 2 reminiscent of this. You know, the
Speaker 2 judge that
Speaker 2 is banning, you know, Trump from doing everything he wants to do.
Speaker 1 The Venice. He was the judge that wanted the Venezuela flights to turn around mid-air, mid-flight.
Speaker 2
Yeah, Bozberg. Okay, yeah.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 I don't know. I i mean
Speaker 2 you know he has been instrumental in a lot of things for instance he was the guy who was like uh
Speaker 2 well uh you know what what do you mean what what do you mean uh the fbi lawyer uh kevin kleinsmith uh
Speaker 2 falsified information to get the
Speaker 2
to get the fbi you know wiretap going for Donald Trump. Sure, he, yeah, okay, so what? He falsified information.
What's the big deal then?
Speaker 2
So he's the guy who let him off without any prison time for falsifying information to a FISA court. Nah, not a problem.
He's also the guy.
Speaker 2
I mean, this is just, it's comical. It is absolutely comical.
He's also the guy who happened to hear the case of Ray Epps
Speaker 2 and was like, oh, well,
Speaker 2 no.
Speaker 2
He didn't do anything wrong. You have him on tape saying, you know what? You should riot.
You should go in there and storm the Capitol.
Speaker 2 He didn't mean that. He's the guy that let Ray Epps off the hook.
Speaker 2 I don't know.
Speaker 2 Maybe we should talk about impeaching.
Speaker 2 You can't do that. Yes, you can.
Speaker 2 Yeah, that's what's in the Constitution. Why is it that Justice Roberts and all of these politicians just don't want us to use things that are actually in the Constitution?
Speaker 2
Well, it's never been done before. Yeah, you know what? I've never used the life vest on an airplane as a flotation device.
It doesn't mean if we're in the water, we shouldn't try it.
Speaker 2
Oh, you've no, we've never done this before. This has never been done before.
Well, wait, but we've never been in the ocean floating around needing a flotation device. I don't know.
Speaker 2 Maybe that's an emergency thing that you use.
Speaker 2 That's why impeachment is there for the the justices in case things go badly.
Speaker 1 And the founders actually thought it was going to be more useful and more common. Yes.
Speaker 1 They didn't see it as this, like,
Speaker 1 that's what it's turned into, certainly with a president, unless you happen to be Donald Trump, which is, you know, a weekly occurrence.
Speaker 1 But when it's supposed to be this big, it wasn't always supposed to be only this gigantic thing that happens every 50 years, right?
Speaker 1 It was supposed to be something that was utilized a little bit more frequently than it is.
Speaker 2 Yeah, they thought people would be, they thought people would be a little more awake. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2
They thought people would be like, I don't know, that one was really bad. Maybe we should get rid of that guy.
Instead, we were passive. We were, no, that's not so bad.
And in some ways, that's good.
Speaker 2 In others, if you live that way,
Speaker 2 you then are in such bad trouble by the time you pull that out that it is an emergency crash landing. It is the little, wait, I got to blow into this little red hose and blow it up myself.
Speaker 2 Okay, this doesn't sound like it's going to keep me above water, but
Speaker 2 okay.
Speaker 2 That's what those things are there for.
Speaker 2
And I don't know. I think we should start.
This guy,
Speaker 2 Boesberg,
Speaker 2 Ray Epps. All I need to say, Ray Epps.
Speaker 2
Let me show you the video. Here he is saying, hey, everybody, you should go into the Capitol.
Get him.
Speaker 2 And nothing Because of that, Judge?
Speaker 2 Hmm.
Speaker 2 Hmm. I can't wait until he
Speaker 2 has to hear a case on somebody with a burning up of a Tesla or rioting in the streets or beating up an old lady.
Speaker 2 I'll bet he's got examples there up his sleeve where he's like, that really doesn't count.
Speaker 2 That doesn't count. But I'd like to weigh in on Maureen Le Pen.
Speaker 2 She should, I say if she ever comes comes here, we execute her.
Speaker 2 Oh, okay,
Speaker 2
Judge. Thank you.
All right, back in just a second. First, let me tell you about the Berna Lotcher.
We live in a time of extremes.
Speaker 2 Tensions can get a little high, and everything in your world can turn upside down in a second. If and when that moment comes for you and your family, don't you want to be ready for it?
Speaker 2 The answer is pretty obvious.
Speaker 2 Yes, Glenn.
Speaker 2
Are you a gun owner? I am. Lots of them.
And I'm a good shot.
Speaker 2
And I believe in the Second Amendment. Nothing equalizes danger like a good old-fashioned gun.
Not all situations, however, require lethal force.
Speaker 2 That's why I'd like to introduce you to the Burna launcher. It is a CO2 cartridge,
Speaker 2 which is used to fire projectiles, either kinetic kind or the one with tear gas in it. I prefer to load mine with alternating rounds, you know, hit the attacker, you know, ow, what was that?
Speaker 2 Yeah, tear gas coming your way now.
Speaker 2 They're done for a while if you hit them with a tear gas up to about 40 minutes. So whether you're at home in the car, going for a walk, pull out the Burna anytime.
Speaker 2 It's easy, just as easy as pulling out your gun, but then you don't end up in court,
Speaker 2 you know, with Boesberg putting you behind bars for the rest of your life. Burna, it's legal in all 50 states, no background checks, they'll send it right to your house.
Speaker 2
And it can be used by everybody over 18. It's Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

Speaker 2 10 seconds, station ID.
Speaker 2 Wow. Wow.
Speaker 2 So we've got a Columbia alumni.
Speaker 2
She's very upset. She ripped up her diploma.
Several of them did.
Speaker 2 Because she's protesting against the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil,
Speaker 2
uh, who is organizing all of the uh all of the anti-Israel things. So here she is.
This cut three, please.
Speaker 3 Graduates of the School of International and Public Affairs chanted Free Palestine as they destroyed their sheepskins. It was Alumni Day on campus.
Speaker 3 The protests are in support of Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia grad student and protester now held by ICE agents. And they also object to the concessions made to curb protests on campus.
Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 2 Well, congratulations for working that hard and then ripping up your diploma, the one that really nobody cares about except for you.
Speaker 2 I mean,
Speaker 2
somebody walks into your office like, I have a diploma from Columbia University. I don't know.
Color me impressed. I'm like, ooh, I got it.
We got to hire you. I don't care.
Speaker 2
I don't care what you did, what your diploma is in. You went to Columbia.
I got to hire you.
Speaker 2 Yeah, but I tore it up. Oh, that makes me want to hire you even more.
Speaker 2 You're no extremist, I'll tell you that. First sign you're an extremist, you went to Columbia.
Speaker 2 Second sign you're an extremist,
Speaker 2 you tore up your diploma because Columbia wasn't extreme enough for you. Okay.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 Good luck with that. It's going to work out well.
Speaker 2 Also, speaking of extremists, Tesla, I just want to show this. This is from WRAL, NBC affiliate, North Carolina.
Speaker 2 This is a 61-year-old woman in Arizona being boxed in by another vehicle and then beaten by the passenger of that vehicle while this 61-year-old woman sat in her Tesla. Watch this.
Speaker 4
Take a look at this. This is video from the victim's Tesla camera.
It shows a green car pulling up to a Tesla on busy Route 66, then swerving in front to box the Tesla in.
Speaker 4 The driver then walks over to the 61-year-old woman in the Tesla and reportedly starts hitting her while she's sitting behind the wheel. At one point, the woman says she bit the man's hand.
Speaker 4 Moments later, the passenger of the green car appears to walk over and pull the attacker away. They finally get back in their car and drive off.
Speaker 4 We spoke to the victim today who said she was terrified and can't understand why anyone would do this.
Speaker 2 Because they're radical revolutionaries who are stupid and useful idiots uh and should be wearing a prison number today and seemingly don't understand that teslas have cameras all over them i i
Speaker 1 don't understand why these people
Speaker 2 are stupid they're stupid they must be very stupid they're very stupid they're very stupid why would you well i mean what point are you trying to make other than
Speaker 2 look at how stupid i am
Speaker 2 i i you know i want to follow this we'll have an update on this tomorrow hopefully. I want to follow this.
Speaker 2 Because they had the license plate.
Speaker 2 Hope that person's in jail today.
Speaker 2 Boesberg can't just suddenly take a plane to Phoenix scanning it.
Speaker 2 I'm the judge here.
Speaker 1 It's constitutional, man. Come on.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 2 It's amazing what they're doing.
Speaker 2 I mean, I'm going to give you some information here in a second on
Speaker 2 the tracking of the money for all of these Tesla
Speaker 2
grassroots events. This is all paid for.
It's all paid for. And if you are getting wrapped up in it, you are literally a useful idiot.
That's what you are. This is all big money
Speaker 2 trying to start these protests, trying to get the useful idiots to go out on the street. and do their bidding, which is terrorism.
Speaker 2
What is that? That's nothing but terrorism. Trying to scare this lady from having a Tesla.
So she tells everybody she knows, I was just driving my Tesla, and this is what happened to me.
Speaker 2 By the way, why'd you roll down your window? Don't roll down your window. By the way,
Speaker 2 did you miss the commercial for the Bernal Launcher I just gave a minute ago? By the way, you know, you have a gun. Somebody comes up to my door and is going to start beating me.
Speaker 2 I have a gun and I'm going to use it.
Speaker 1 What state are you in, though? You got to be careful.
Speaker 2 Well,
Speaker 2 I'm in a state of self-defense. That's the state I'm in.
Speaker 1 A lot of people, though, are like terrified to even do that in their state.
Speaker 2 I know. Not afraid to get pulled over.
Speaker 1 That's going into prison for 10 years.
Speaker 2 Well, I don't live in those states. Yeah, no kidding.

Speaker 2 You're standing at the bottom of a mountain when all of a sudden you hear a noise from up top. Yodali.
Speaker 2 You look up just in time to see an avalanche, massive wall of snow and rock swallowing everything in its pass as it barrels down towards you. And in that last moment before it hits, you say one thing.
Speaker 2 Ah, that credit card debt. I knew it would get me eventually.
Speaker 2 Drama, sure, what an episode. But it's actually what it feels like when you're hit with massive high-interest debt from things like credit cards.
Speaker 2 It just buries you, and there's no way you'll ever get out from underneath it, or at least that's the way it feels. But I want you to call American Financing.
Speaker 2 They have been saving people just like you.
Speaker 2
They don't dress up like St. Bernard's with a barrel of whiskey around their neck, which would make me call them faster, quite honestly.
So maybe they should think about that.

Speaker 2 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. So you were caught, which one of you was caught up in the
Speaker 2 Tesla, the big, big Tesla rally?
Speaker 2 A protest, you mean? Protest. I was in the...
Speaker 2 Yeah, I walked right through the protesters.
Speaker 2 Out there. Gray in the middle of a protest? Yes.
Speaker 2 They're in
Speaker 2
South Lake. In South Lake, Texas.
Wow, that's a radical. I'm pretty sure none of them were from South Lake because their lips were too normal.
Speaker 2 Oh, really? Yeah. Really?
Speaker 2 Now, if they have the bulbous lips off,
Speaker 2
then you know they're proud of them. Well, you don't know.
I mean, maybe some of them had them pierced.
Speaker 2 There was way too little plastic surgery to keep this car.
Speaker 2 So I'm pretty sure they were from Grapevine or Dallas or something.
Speaker 2
So they were big protests, huh? Big, big. Well, there was probably, I don't know, a couple hundred people.
Wow. Maybe.
Maybe a couple hundred.
Speaker 1 But by the way, they just happened to be all the way to the bottom. It was organic.
Speaker 2 I was organizing. I get me wrong.
Speaker 1 It was an organic protest, right? I mean, it was. They all showed up with signs that were printed for them.
Speaker 2 Really? From the library of, I forget what it's it's called, but there's a library of
Speaker 2 radicalism signs,
Speaker 2 and they hand them out, and then they go there and they protest until, what was it, noon? Exactly noon, and then everybody leaves.
Speaker 1 Then everyone leaves. Wow.
Speaker 1 Because that's how organic protests happen. Everyone's going to be able to do it.
Speaker 2 Anybody want to buy a Tesla more?
Speaker 2 Me? No. I wanted to go directly into the showroom, buy a Tesla, and drive it over the top of them.
Speaker 2
Well, get the cyber chat for efficiency purposes. I mean, it's hardly.
It's not going to. None of this works out well.
No. None of this works out well.
It's bizarre.
Speaker 1
I just can't even believe. Can you believe? I mean, think of how many shows we've done about how basically conservatives don't like electric vehicles and liberals are demanding we buy them.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 And now here we are. Like, I went in, I test drove a Tesla.
Speaker 1 When I test drove the Tesla, it's a nice car. Look,
Speaker 2 Elon Musk is really, he's put out a very, very impressive thing.
Speaker 1
We talked about this for years, Pat. We test drove one here probably 10 years ago.
Yeah. And we're very, very impressed by it.
Speaker 2 One of the first ones that came out. Remember that? Yeah.
Speaker 1
I think it was the Model S Performance, I think. It was very, very fast, and it was before the plaid came out.
Very, very cool. He's done a lot.
I don't know that it's for me, frankly. It's not.
Speaker 1
It's not like when I test drove it, it was like there's things I really liked about it. But generally speaking, I don't think I'm an electric car guy.
I don't think I want it. However.
Speaker 1 I keep coming back to it because of how annoying they are. Me too.
Speaker 1 That is a terrible reason to buy a car, but I can't help myself.
Speaker 1 They're so infuriating and stupid.
Speaker 1 And they're burning these dealerships down. They're harassing the employees, people who are, they might even be liberals.
Speaker 2 Most of the people who have bought Teslas are liberal.
Speaker 1 And they're harassing them on highways.
Speaker 1
They're scaring women as they're driving their, you know, model wise to work. I mean, it's insanity.
And it makes me so annoyed. It makes me want to buy one.
Speaker 2 You know,
Speaker 2 not only do I want to buy one.
Speaker 2 I've never wanted to spray paint a car, but I kind of want to just spray paint F you on the side.
Speaker 2
Not as a protest, but as a message to them. Anyone looking at it.
You know what I mean? Oh, you wanted to wreck my car?
Speaker 2 I already did it. F you.
Speaker 2 Maybe that's
Speaker 2
not. We might not be in the realm of irrationality.
No, it's possible.
Speaker 2 Yeah. There was a,
Speaker 2 we had a video of a guy who spray painted on the back of his Tesla Cybertruck. Toyota across the back of it.
Speaker 2
That's funny. I bet you that actually tricked a lot of these stupid people.
No, that's a Toyota. We don't want to be that one.
Speaker 1 That one's good. Those are good.
Speaker 2 What idiots.
Speaker 2
What idiots. Absolutely are.
And they're setting things on fire. These are all the people that told us about global warming.
Setting a lithium battery on fire is
Speaker 2 worse than me driving, you know, the big
Speaker 2
Escalade for 200 years. You're setting that on fire is going to do more damage than me driving it.
To the environment that you supposedly worship. Gosh.
Yeah. It's incredible.
Speaker 2 And, you know,
Speaker 1 the protest over this,
Speaker 2 we played like a four-minute clip of Barack Obama from, I think, 2011 today, where he talks about doing exactly the same thing that Elon Musk is actually doing.
Speaker 2 I mean, Obama purportedly was going to cut the deficit and cut the budget by who knows how much, but he was
Speaker 2
saving money back in 2011. Yeah.
Cut 22. Let's play that, please.
Speaker 7 One of the commitments that I made to the American people was that we would do a better job here in Washington in rooting out wasteful spending.
Speaker 7 At a time when families have had to cut back, have had to make some tough decisions about getting rid of things that they don't need in order to make the investments that they do.
Speaker 7 We thought that it was entirely appropriate for our governments and our agencies to try to root out waste, large and small,
Speaker 7 in a systematic way.
Speaker 7 Obviously, this is even more important given the deficits that we've inherited and that have grown as a consequence of this recession. This makes
Speaker 7
these efforts even more imperative. Now this does mean making some tough choices.
It means
Speaker 7 cutting some programs that I think are worthy but we may not be able to afford right now. We don't need to wait for Congress in order to do something about
Speaker 7 wasteful spending that's out there.
Speaker 7 Cutting waste, making government more efficient is something that leaders in both parties have worked on from Senator Tom Colburn, Republican to Democrat Claire McCaskill.
Speaker 7 We haven't seen as much action out of Congress as we'd like and that's why we launched on our own initiative the campaign to cut waste.
Speaker 7
Not just to cut spending, but to make government work better for the American people. For example, we've identified thousands of government buildings that we don't need.
Some have sat empty for years.
Speaker 7 So we're getting rid of those properties.
Speaker 7 And that's going to save the American people billions of dollars.
Speaker 7 Roger Rhodes works at the Department of Commerce. Raise your hand, Roger.
Speaker 2
Okay. Here's Roger.
So, you know, here's why. Because, like, he didn't do that.
What he was cutting, this is why they're freaking out.
Speaker 2 What he was cutting were probably the things that were good for Republicans and good for the country while he was pouring stuff in that was bad for the country, USAID, et cetera, et cetera, you know, making sure that all of his cronies were all paid.
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2
we didn't know that. They know this game.
The left knows what these government agencies do. That's why they don't care about people.
They care about their money, getting their money, their power.
Speaker 2
We didn't protest because we didn't, we weren't aware of it. We just thought it really was waste.
We didn't realize the corruption that was there that led to the destruction of our nation.
Speaker 2
You know what I mean? We knew that we knew that there was graft going on. We knew that there were payoffs, et cetera, et cetera, but we didn't know this was a whole system.
Right.
Speaker 2
We didn't know the extent of it. We had no idea.
So they're all freaking out
Speaker 2
when they knew that they would still get their paycheck. That's why they didn't do anything back then.
Now they know, oh, wait a minute, I may not get my paycheck.
Speaker 2 My organization, my NGO might not get that paycheck so we can overthrow yet another country someplace.
Speaker 2
It's really remarkable what's going on. And it is dividing the American people into two very, very clear camps.
You know,
Speaker 2
you're either for the BLM. burning of cities, you're for Tesla doing exactly the same thing, the people who are riding against Tesla, taking old ladies.
We showed you that video just a minute ago.
Speaker 2
You know, 61-year-old woman. She's sitting in her car.
She's run off the road. Somebody comes up, beats her while she's sitting there in her driver's seat,
Speaker 2 just beats her within the inch of her life, then gets out.
Speaker 2 The person gets back into their car and drives away. You're either for all of this kind of stuff or you're not.
Speaker 2 You're either for all of the graft and the government overthrowing other nations by using your tax dollars, supporting things like
Speaker 2 George Soros and all of his cronies, giving tax dollars to those guys, or you're not. I mean, it's really clear.
Speaker 2 You're either for a constitutionally run country that actually answers to the people and the people have a right to see where every dime is going, or you're not.
Speaker 2
Now, Donald Trump is not. I'm going to bring this up and, you know, it's not going to make a lot of people happy, but it has to be said.
Donald Trump is making people who support him a little angry.
Speaker 2
I am. I am.
Can we stop with a third term thing? Yeah.
Speaker 2
That is unconstitutional, that we put that in for a reason. FDR.
We do not want. Look, this guy could be the greatest guy of all time.
And so far, he's great.
Speaker 2
And I would love for him to have more time. But we have that guardrail in place for a reason.
Otherwise, we'd still be having President Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 You know, he would still be president. No,
Speaker 2 we cannot break. You know, somebody taught me when I was really young.
Speaker 2 I was on the air and I broke a rule.
Speaker 2 And I did it because I just thought it sounded cool. And I was called into the program director's office and he said, why did you do that? And I said, well, because I thought it sounded cool.
Speaker 2 He said, do you know why that rule is in place? And I said, no.
Speaker 2 And he said, don't ever break a rule unless you know why that rule was in place because then you can have an intelligent thought on breaking the rules. And I was like, okay.
Speaker 2
That's a good PD. Right.
I was like 16 years old. Okay.
Speaker 2
And I never forgot that. Never, ever forgot that.
The same thing is being said right here. Yeah.
Speaker 2 Don't break that rule unless you know why that rule was put into place in the first place it was put in there because any good talking guy
Speaker 2 left or right can get in and consolidate power we don't need more more terms for the president we need fewer terms for the house and the senate and for all of the people that are supposedly definitely serving the nation uh as a uh as a public servant.
Speaker 2
We need more regulation on those people. We need tighter terms on those people.
We don't need more terms for the president. And it has nothing to do with Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 It has everything to do with Barack Obama and FDR. No.
Speaker 1 And they, you know, people will point out that the constitutional amendment proposed had basically a cutout, a carve-out to make it seem so it could only be Trump that could get it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 Which again is that plays into the whole dictator nonsense
Speaker 2 that they try to do that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1
First of all, you'd never get that through. It would never, no.
And so when they're saying, they keep saying, well, there are ways to do it.
Speaker 2 Well, there's one way to do it.
Speaker 1 Look, you want to amend the Constitution and you successfully do so.
Speaker 1 I would oppose that amendment, but that would be a legal way to do it.
Speaker 1 What they're talking about now is all sorts of games maturity.
Speaker 2 No.
Speaker 1 Like being vice president, which is prohibited by the 12th Amendment. Or being Speaker of the House, and then both of them
Speaker 1 getting Republicans elected and they both step down at the the same time and all this other game nonsense. By the way, by the way, just play by the rules.
Speaker 2
It's not, I mean, he can go serve in Congress. He can go serve in Congress.
Absolutely. You know, he could become the Speaker of the House and that would be great.
Speaker 2
But no, no games here. No, no games.
And for anybody who said, well, you'll never call him out.
Speaker 2 This is us proving that, yes, we know how unpopular this little rant of mine will become. Will become.
Speaker 1 That's the right word. Because right now, it's overwhelmingly opposed that he would have this third term but i that will change that will change market that will change
Speaker 2 and this will become very very unpopular and everybody's going to say why do you hate donald trump i don't hate donald trump i love donald trump i think donald trump is the best president of my lifetime so far i want to see this one through but so far he is fantastic um
Speaker 2 but no
Speaker 2
no no no we either stand for principles or we do not and as stu said you want to pass a constitutional amendment? Great. I'm not going to fight with that.
And I'm not going to fight with you on that.
Speaker 2 I'll fight against that. But that's the way our system works.
Speaker 2
I mean, to pass a constitutional amendment is a very big deal. Two-thirds of Congress, three-quarters of the states.
Just remember
Speaker 2 that it wasn't the Republicans that got that passed after FDR.
Speaker 2 It was the Democrats because the Democrats realized how much power FDR had amassed, and there was no place for even the Democrats in their own party to go. You were either with him or you were out.
Speaker 2
I mean, you're used to that in the Democratic Party. I guess that's what you still are.
But it was their own party that pushed this to stop a president from having more than two terms.
Speaker 2 Learn from history. Back in just a minute.
Speaker 2
In the dark of the night, unseen forces lie in wait, hidden in the digital shadows. The thief is patient, watching for that one one moment when you let your guard down.
Tax season.
Speaker 2 Tax season like death comes for us all.
Speaker 2 When it comes to tax season, you think it's bad enough that you're getting scammed by your own government, but this, my friend, you are the target when it comes to cyber criminals.
Speaker 2 The threat doesn't stop just at tax season either. Cyber crime and identity theft are stock in trade of so many people these days and so many bots.
Speaker 2 Just imagine a criminal borrowing all your money in your name,
Speaker 2
trying on your identity for a little change of pace. No, thank you.

Speaker 1 They're generating deep fake videos of politicians saying insane things.
Speaker 1 Our own Glenn Beck has warned us that they have got a detailed plan to enslave us all, and that is right around the corner. That's right.
Speaker 2 That's right.
Speaker 1 Before AI turns us into all sorts of things that are problematic here, you know, it is stealing homes as well.

Speaker 2 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Glad you're here.
Speaker 2 We've got a couple of things. There is a movement in Utah to overturn
Speaker 2 the veto of Governor Cox.
Speaker 2 Utah is leading the country or was leading the country on making gold something that you can actually trade in. And they've made a lot of progress in it.
Speaker 2 They were about to really lead the country, and the governor,
Speaker 2 because he's Governor Cox, decided
Speaker 2 not to sign it. In fact, he vetoed it.
Speaker 2 It has massive support, and somebody's got to lead the way for
Speaker 2
the override of that veto. And Republicans are...
are wanting to mount that campaign this week. We'll talk to the guy who is doing that.
Also, you know,
Speaker 2 Florida is,
Speaker 2 I mean, Florida still has a chance to lead the world on this. The reason why these things are really tough, it's the same as anti-ESG
Speaker 2
litigation or legislation. Remember, the banks were against that.
And that's why it took several years before you could get 20 states to sign up for it because the banking sector was coming after it.
Speaker 2
The banks are doing the same thing when it comes to gold, making sure that gold is legal tender in states. They don't want it.
Well,
Speaker 2 who owns the big banks?
Speaker 2
The Federal Reserve. She's Glenn Beck.
You know, that 61-year-old woman in the Tesla that was beaten up. I wish she had a burn-a-launcher.
Speaker 2
Burn-a-launchers are legal everywhere. I believe in the Second Amendment, but somebody comes up to me and, you know, I was driving to Tesla and they're going to beat me up or beat my wife up.
Oh,
Speaker 2 You'd be lucky to get around the front bumper of my car, mainly because I carry a gun,
Speaker 2 but I would probably go to jail for doing that until they started beating me or my wife or kids. Burna launcher, totally different.
Speaker 2 You come at me in my car, I'm going to roll my window down just a crack, and I'm going to shoot tear gas right in your face.
Speaker 2 And tear gas is going to, I don't care, this thing will shoot it for 60 feet.

Speaker 2 This is
Speaker 2 the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 2 Well, hello, America.
Speaker 2 I want to talk to you a little bit about the grassroots Tesla movement that was happening.
Speaker 2 You know, all you have to do now is look and you'll be able to track where all of this funding is coming from. These grassroots movement, that's not grassroots.
Speaker 2
And it's not a conspiracy theory. I can show you the numbers and we will in 60 seconds.
First, if this has ever happened to you, you're lying in bed. You've closed your eyes.
Speaker 2
Slowly you begin sinking into the pillow, letting go of the day's worries. And for a brief moment, the world is still.
You're just about to drift into the sweet oblivion of beautiful sleep.
Speaker 2
And one of the most beautiful moments, in that moment, your brain realizes, oh, that sleep thing? We don't do that anymore. We don't do that anymore.
Wake up, wake up, there's problems in the world.
Speaker 2
And then you're awake all night. I want you to try something called Z Factor.
It's from the makers of Relief Factor, and it's just like Relief Factor. It's not a drug.
Speaker 2
It's a sleep aid that comes from all natural ingredients. And if you're like me, I know what you're thinking.
Oh, it's all natural. That's code for it doesn't work.
Speaker 2 Well, all I can tell you is Relief Factor, both pain relief and Z Factor, work.

Speaker 2
You know, the modern Democratic Party, I got to hand it to them. It's just lovely.
I mean, what an amazing collection of fun-loving, peace-spreading people they have become.
Speaker 2 And I don't mean the Democrats themselves. I'm sure we all have family members and people that are not
Speaker 2
violent and are not part of this movement, but they are so blinded by, I don't know what. I honestly don't know what.
But they're blinded.
Speaker 2
And so they just kind of go along and say, well, that's not the Democrats that are. Yeah, it is.
It is. It is.
Speaker 2 Gosh darn it, those grassroots movements that they have. They're so in tune with America.
Speaker 2 Don't dare blink, you know, or you'll miss Americans from Main Street coming coming out of the factories and the farms and the ranches, just spontaneously falling in line with these protests and beating up people, you know, or setting Teslas on fire.
Speaker 2 It's grassroots. It's the grassroots of all grassroots weekend, you know, for a fun-loving, peace-spreading Democratic Party.
Speaker 2
That's what was happening because the very spontaneous, did I mention it was spontaneous and grassroots? Suddenly it materialized on the interwebs. And it was called Teslatakedown.com.
Wow.
Speaker 2 And I'll tell you what grassroots operation that was.
Speaker 2
They're sick of the Elon Musk crap, and they're not going to take it anymore. And this was the final straw.
This was it. So the Teslatakedown.com was set to go on Saturday.
Speaker 2
And they had a goal of 500 protests globally, 500 globally. The day of action, well, it had to be scaled back because it was too big, too many grassroots.
They were like, you know what?
Speaker 2 We should probably only do 200 of these.
Speaker 2
Not that we don't have enough for 500, but we should just, maybe we should just do two. Let's do them.
If we're going to do them, let's do them right. That's what they were thinking, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 Before I get into all this stupidity, keep in mind some of the things that have been happening over the past few weeks.
Speaker 2 New reports emerge every day of mentally insane morons vandalizing Teslas all over the country. An Oregon Tesla dealership was shot at multiple times on multiple days.
Speaker 2 Firebombs were thrown at vehicles at another Tesla dealership in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2
These are the things that are happening. So what do we do? Let's have an anti-Tesla rally and bring people all over the globe to protest Tesla.
At the same time, the mentally unbalanced doing this.
Speaker 2 Now, given all of the insane bullcrap, because that's what it is, who decides to ramp everything up? You know, create a website and push for hundreds of protested Tesla dealerships?
Speaker 2
Well, the grassroots do. I'll tell you that.
You know, no one responsible would plan something like this, but we're not really dealing with responsible people.
Speaker 2 We're dealing with the grassroots, those unnamed Americans that just come together. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 Or the modern Democratic Party. And I say modern Democratic Party because
Speaker 2
I don't know if you know this. This isn't even the party that Barack Obama inherited.
It's not like this isn't your grandparents' Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 This isn't your Democratic Party of 15 years ago, okay?
Speaker 2 But it reminds us who they really are.
Speaker 2 It's not really modern, really. It's an old, old story,
Speaker 2 you know, filled with groups like the Weather Underground and the Black Panthers and people like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn, you know, people like that.
Speaker 2
And all of the people that we've witnessed that started, you know, BLM and was so grassroots. That was so grassroots.
You know, that wasn't even trending.
Speaker 2 BLM wasn't even trending on Instagram or or X.
Speaker 2 And,
Speaker 2
you know, BLM was like, you got to put a black square. You got to put a black square.
Put a black square. Put a black square.
And that wasn't, nobody was doing that.
Speaker 2 And then the phone call came in. And
Speaker 2 gosh darn it, all of a sudden it started to trend.
Speaker 2 After that, that grassroots phone call into
Speaker 2 social media centers.
Speaker 2 They get the phone call and they're like, you know what? We should do? We should make sure this grassroots thing is really seen because it's real grassroots. Go ahead, Jimmy the algorithm.
Speaker 2 And then all of a sudden, by the way, that's a guy.
Speaker 2
Well, he's a mobster, Jimmy the Algorithm. Hey, it's me, Jimmy the Algorithm.
Anyway, they Jimmy the algorithm, and all of a sudden, the black square started to show up everywhere. Isn't that weird?
Speaker 2 Isn't that weird? Very grassroots. Anyway,
Speaker 2 so they organized, and the turnout,
Speaker 2 wow.
Speaker 2 Maybe it was the lack of USAID funds that
Speaker 2 because
Speaker 2
grassroots, the organizing skills weren't quite as good. You know, they had globally, they had 200, went down from 500, but they got 200.
And each of them, top end,
Speaker 2 around 100, around 100 was the average, average protest, 100 people, dozen, sometimes dozens of people.
Speaker 2 Yeah, no, I mean, it was, it was, and it went global, had six whole people show up in Dublin, six, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 The six, you know, progressive nut jobs that were there, you know, so they were, they were,
Speaker 2 no word if Rosie O'Donnell was there, but maybe, maybe she was.
Speaker 2 So the radical progressive left has a problem, and they know it. The majority of Americans don't agree with them anymore.
Speaker 2 Not only that, I believe the majority of Americans really are starting to despise the Uber left.
Speaker 2
You know, they're starting to really despise the fact that, oh, you're going to burn something down again. Oh, how novel, how unique.
Wow, power to the people.
Speaker 2 It's okay.
Speaker 2 So who was actually involved? Was it Farmer Joe and his wife and a couple of other really concerned citizens? Yeah, we're just very concerned citizens.
Speaker 2 We're just the grassroots. This is
Speaker 2 my wife, April Grassroots. I'm Bill Grassroots.
Speaker 2
You might know us. No, it wasn't really that.
Azra Namani, who is a guest on this program frequently, she tracked down the entire coordinated effort.
Speaker 2 to over 24 well-known organizations, shockingly, all aligned with the Democratic Party, which is weird.
Speaker 2 Just those 24 groups alone,
Speaker 2
however, more are being added, accounted for $124 million in revenue. So let's just look at the top 10.
Here they are, Ezra's top 10, the top 10 financiers of terror. At the top is Housing Works, Inc.
Speaker 2 Staggering $51 million in avenue revenue, annual revenue, known as,
Speaker 2 or known for its HIV AIDS advocacy,
Speaker 2 backed by New York Democrats like Andrew Cuomo. Now, you'd say to yourself, what does an HIV AIDS
Speaker 2
program have to do with Tesla? Well, I'm not even going to address that because you're just too stupid if you can't figure out that connection. Then there's swing left.
I swing left. How about you?
Speaker 2 $16.5 million, which helped elect John Ossif and Raphael Warnack in Georgia. And also, a big supporter is,
Speaker 2 uh
Speaker 2 what's her name uh chief warren
Speaker 2 uh then you have the public citizens foundation hmm how how how what oh you're right how uh 13.3 million dollars co uh co-founded by ralph nader uh and works with bernie sanders on corporate accountability next up the invisible project
Speaker 2 Oh, no, it's the Indivisible Project. I thought it was the invisible, which it was probably.
Speaker 2 The Indivisible Project Project and Indivisible Action,
Speaker 2 $12.5 million and $9.9 million founded by Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin.
Speaker 2 They've also been endorsed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and collaborated with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to flip the House in 2018. So these are all these great organizations.
Speaker 2 Stand Up America with 9.8 million mobilized for Democratic candidates like Kamala Harris and the Democratic Socialists of America. They were also in at eight,
Speaker 2 sorry, $5.8 million.
Speaker 2 So they, you know, they're Democratic socialists. That's a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2 Public Citizen Inc., $5.7 million, teamed up with Elizabeth Warren and MoveOn.org with $6 million.
Speaker 2 Of course, Barack Obama and Joe Biden are on the moveon.org train, started by Hillary Clinton and George Soros. Not a lot of people know that anymore.
Speaker 2 Finally, Third Act Initiative with $2 million, founded by Bill McKibben and aligns with the climate-focused Democrats like Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.
Speaker 2 So climate-focused, it's weird to burn lithium batteries.
Speaker 2
You would think that maybe they would be against that, but no. So this is not a spontaneous uprising.
It's an operation. We all know it, but it's kind of nice to be able to show the
Speaker 2 306 protests were planned using platforms like the Action Network and Mobilize, both tied to to Democratic organizing.
Speaker 2 Indivisible Alone bragged about its organizing 600 hashtag hands-off protests for April 5th. These groups enjoy tax-exempt status, and they're also 501 C4 and C3 organizations.
Speaker 2
They're non-partisan, you know. Except it's weird because almost everybody in the organization is a Democrat and they're helping Democrats all the time.
But grassroots, grassroots, grassroots.
Speaker 2 Grass, grassroots. Grassroots.
Speaker 2
That's all it is. That's all I can say.
Not that astro turf. It's grassroots.
Speaker 2
You know what's grassroots? Is getting people to go in and buy Teslas. That's grassroots.
And they're convincing a lot of people who don't really want a Tesla, you know,
Speaker 2
but have the money and they're like, I'm buying a Tesla. Stu's this close.
Neither of us, both of us, we don't like electric vehicles. Don't like them.
Speaker 2 I like machines. I don't like
Speaker 2 batteries.
Speaker 2
And I'm this close. I mean, I really want a Tesla now.
Not just, just, just, just to say, oh, really?
Speaker 2 Screw you.
Speaker 1 It's a spite purchase.
Speaker 2 It is. It's an expensive spite.
Speaker 1 It's not a rational decision, but it's a spite process.
Speaker 2 What's stopping me? My wife is really the one going, no.
Speaker 1 Can you like tweet about it instead? I mean, can you?
Speaker 1 Something cheaper than a $100,000 car?
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah.
But that's what's happening here.
Speaker 2 And all of those,
Speaker 2 why are all those
Speaker 2 grassroots funders and organizations, why are they doing this? Not because they actually care.
Speaker 2 They didn't care about the environment, clearly.
Speaker 2
Tesla has done more to protect the environment than anybody else. Anybody else? Elon Musk, nobody is even close.
to what he's doing for the environment.
Speaker 2
He's building spaceships to go to Mars because he believes in global warming so much. Got to get off the planet.
Okay.
Speaker 2 He's building spaceships to Mars so all of you tree huggers can go live on a planet where there are no trees. All right.
Speaker 2 Then he builds the biggest, most successful electric car company, and you are setting them on fire and cheering for the collapse of his stock.
Speaker 2 What the hell is wrong with you people? So it's not, it makes no sense. And that's how, that's the first sign that this is not
Speaker 2 a
Speaker 2 grassroots thing. You know, it's like when they shut down USAID and all of the, you know, Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer was out in front of USAID.
Speaker 2
We're surrounded now by all these normal people that are just moms and dads, just like you and little children. Look at little Bobby.
He has no eyes over here. He just got him out of the hospital.
Speaker 2
He was so upset by this. He was like, hey, I got to protest, even though I don't have any eyes or legs.
They just amputated my legs this morning, but I have to be here. I'm so normal.
I'm just so
Speaker 2 just like you, and I'm really sacrificing to be here, standing up for USAID and all the great things that they do, which are
Speaker 2 all right. Well, they took away my mouth now too, so I can't talk anymore.
Speaker 2 Little Bobby couldn't come up with what USAID did because the only people who know what you are the workers of USAID,
Speaker 2 all of the intelligence organizations around the country and around the world, you know, anybody who is anybody's trying to overthrow
Speaker 2
any kind of politician anywhere in the world, they all know what USAID is. The average person doesn't.
But we're standing here in front of USAID on the day they shut it down.
Speaker 2
Because it's what people are passionate about. People are talking about this like crazy.
They're very upset because it's going to hurt them somehow or another.
Speaker 2 I don't figure out how exactly, but it's just going to hurt the, you know, I'll tell you what, you saw little Bobby over there, you know why he lost his eyes? Donald Trump.
Speaker 2
Donald Trump went and took two sticks and poked his eyes out. And USAID was going to give him new eyes.
Now they can't give him new eyes. That's what we're here for.
Uh-huh.
Speaker 2
All of this stuff is being done because their money is drying up. That's it.
And I have that. Well, he had to write it out because little Bobby doesn't have a...
Speaker 2
Doesn't have a mouth anymore. They took him away.
Donald Trump. Elon Musk.
Elon Musk said, you know, I'm tired tired of little Bobby and I.
Speaker 2
I'm a fascist, so I'm going to sew little Bobby's mouth together with string that you can't cut open anymore. It's special Elon Musk string that's uncuttable.
Yeah, that's how evil he is,
Speaker 2
sewing up little Bobby's mouth with uncuttable string. Yeah, I'll tell you that.
We should go protest. Elon Musk, because that's got to stop.
And little Bobby just said,
Speaker 2
and I believe him. Tell you that right now.
And all of those people on ABC, NBC, CBS that are reporting all of this stuff because they're right, and we can trust them.
Speaker 2 All right, back in just a second. First, let me tell you about rough greens.
Speaker 2 Is your dog aging like a fine wine?
Speaker 2 Or is he aging more like a pair of sweaty gym socks left out on the trampoline in the rain?
Speaker 2 If you think it's more of the latter than the former, it might be time to do something about his diet. My recommendation is that you bring a little bit of rough greens into his life.
Speaker 2 I started using it with uno years ago and it made a huge difference i think it gave him well he's the oldest german shepherd we have had we've had three german shepherds four german shepherds and um
Speaker 2 he's the oldest and he's faring the best although he's he hurts getting up now um
Speaker 2 and i fear we're going to lose him at any time but he just keeps on hanging in there and i think you know the one thing that actually makes him run now honestly food He never ran for food.
Speaker 2 He never liked to eat food. We used to have to hand feed him because he was just so stubborn, he wouldn't eat anything.
Speaker 2 Now you get the bowl, and he actually, well, he kind of slowly gets up, but then he runs to his bowl, RoughGreens, rufffgreens.com. Roughgreens.com.
Speaker 2
It's not a food, something you sprinkle on the food, and it's so healthy for them. You'll see the difference.

10 seconds, station ID.
Speaker 1 You know, Glenn, it's interesting when you think about all the attacks on Tesla.
Speaker 1 And it's been mixed, but I think a lot of them have been on cyber trucks.
Speaker 1 If you think about like the the environmental cost of these three scenarios, driving a gas-powered vehicle, a normal gas-powered vehicle, as opposed to having a Tesla cyber truck go through all of its manufacturing process, then burning it to the ground, how those emissions go up, then having to replace that vehicle for somebody, right, to drive for five to seven years.
Speaker 1 Maybe and I don't know, do you replace it at that point with another EV or another Tesla? You probably are terrified to do that if your car has been lit on fire.
Speaker 1 So you're probably going either to maybe another
Speaker 1 gas-powered car.
Speaker 2 You're probably going back, right? Who was it?
Speaker 2 It wasn't Tampon Tim, or was it Tampon Tim? One of these guys got rid of his Tesla.
Speaker 2 And was thrilled that he just got a new Ford Explorer. He got two Ford Explorer.
Speaker 1 Yeah, it's like that was Mark Kelly in Arizona, the senator.
Speaker 2 Really? Really? You've been preaching us the evils of Ford Explorers, and you just got rid of your Tesla and bought two Ford Explorers. You don't have any credibility.
Speaker 2 We should launch you back into space.
Speaker 1
I hate what's happening to Tesla. I really do.
I do too.
Speaker 1 However, there's a part of me that wants to just
Speaker 1 take the largest victory lap of all time.
Speaker 1 We have been talking for years, and it's not just us as a victory lap. This is this entire audience have been talking for years about how they never actually meant any of that environmental nonsense.
Speaker 2 And there has never been a more crystal clear
Speaker 1
version of how this is true. They've been telling us forever it's the greatest existential threat.
And the second the guy who is saving the world
Speaker 1 comes along and goes against their policies for one election.
Speaker 2 He's done.
Speaker 1 He's done and we no longer care and we're going to light all of his vehicles on fire. I mean, it is impossible to express it more clearly than that.
Speaker 2 They never cared about this.
Speaker 1 This was always about something else. And the second their power is threatened, none of this means anything to them.
Speaker 2 I just don't think it lasts.
Speaker 2 I just don't think. I mean,
Speaker 2 they're really honestly, they're like, who should we have run for president? I know, AOC. Are you?
Speaker 2 Please?
Speaker 2 Okay, let me just say this. If you happen to be part of the Democratic Democratic Party,
Speaker 2 one thing I really don't want you to do,
Speaker 2 run AOC for a while. Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 Don't make Jasmine Crockett the VP.
Speaker 2 No.
Speaker 1 That would be an impossible feat.
Speaker 1 It wouldn't be fair to us.
Speaker 2
Think of this. Treasurer Bernie Sanders.
No. No.
Don't do that. No.
White House spokesperson.
Speaker 2
Elizabeth Warren. Don't do it.
Don't do it. This is Glenn Beck.
Speaker 2 All right. Let me tell you about Tunnel to Towers, the foundation that is really
Speaker 2 one of the best groups that I know of.
Speaker 2 Let's start with U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Michael Thomas Ernst,
Speaker 2 recently killed in a training accident while serving his country, left behind a wife and children, needed some serious help in the aftermath of all of it. That's when Tunnel to Towers stepped in.
Speaker 2 They always do.
Speaker 2 They provided Michael's family with a mortgage-free home, a place where the Ernst children could grow up and thrive, a place where they could remember and feel the love of their fallen hero.
Speaker 2 This is the kind of thing the Tunnel to Towers Foundation does every single day in this country, and they do a whole lot more than that.
Speaker 2 But I want you to, if you would, consider giving $11 a month to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. It's T, the number2t.org.
Speaker 2 My wife and I are thinking about moving because the kids, I mean, we're walking around in this stupid house. You know, it's just the two of us and the dog.
Speaker 2
And we were thinking about selling the house and the kids were like, you can't sell this. This is where the house we grew up in.
You can't sell this. We're like, yeah, I know.
Get over it.
Speaker 2 Imagine, though, you lose a dad or a mom and you have to move.
Speaker 2
The tragedy on top of it. Please help them keep their homes.

Speaker 2 I have not seen this one
Speaker 2 politically. I don't think I've seen anything like this.
Speaker 2 There was a bill, HB 306, in the state of Utah that empowered vendors and service providers to the state of Utah with a choice to be paid in gold or silver through a secure electronic gold-backed system procured through an open competitive bid process, strengthening Utah's precious metals leadership since 2011.
Speaker 2
It was a way for you to give, to have a choice. You could either deal in U.S.
currency or gold or silver, which is all constitutional.
Speaker 2 I mean, the state can issue gold or silver,
Speaker 2 but
Speaker 2
apparently not in Utah. Now, here's the amazing thing.
They've been fighting for this for a long time. How strong was the vote in the positive to support this? The House was unanimous.
Speaker 2
When's the last time you heard of a unanimous vote in the House? Okay, long time. It doesn't happen a lot.
Doesn't it happen?
Speaker 1
It's like renaming something. Right.
You know, that's about it.
Speaker 2
Right. So a unanimous support for gold and silver in the Senate, only four no votes.
Only four.
Speaker 2 So what happened? Well, it went to the desk of the governor, Governor Cox, and he vetoed it.
Speaker 2 So wait, what? What the hell just happened? So now the legislative and senate,
Speaker 2 they're now working to override the veto. It doesn't seem like it would be that difficult, but now all kinds of politics are involved with the governor, and it's going to need your help.
Speaker 2 One of the guys who has been on this, in fact, I think this is his real movement, is a Blaze TV host of Economic War Room, also the author of Pirate Money, a must-read book.
Speaker 2 Kevin Freeman is joining us now. Hello, Kevin.
Speaker 9 Hi, Glenn.
Speaker 2 Thank you, first of all, what you're doing. You're doing this in, what, 20 different states are talking about this now?
Speaker 9 I think 24 states have examined it. There's still probably 10 active legislatively, but yeah, it's a movement nationally.
Speaker 2 Okay. And why are you doing this?
Speaker 9 When I was a 10-year-old kid, my dad told me that Nixon took us off the gold standard.
Speaker 9 I was studying the Constitution through the Freeman Institute, NCCS, National Center for Constitutional Studies, and it just offended me.
Speaker 9 And I said, we've got to get us back somehow to the gold standard. And this is part of the way that we can do that using Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 So I know, I think it was here in Texas, somebody, it's still being kicked around, but I think it was in Texas, somebody, some expert came in as the last person in the hearings and said, this is unconstitutional.
Speaker 2
It can't be done because of the Constitution. And people are saying that, and it's just not true.
Please explain the Constitution and fiat money versus state-issued gold and silver.
Speaker 9 Oh, yeah.
Speaker 9
I was there at the hearing. I testified in it.
It was last week in Austin. And it was a staff attorney for the comptroller's office.
Speaker 9 who brought an obscure federal case in and said it's unconstitutional. And then she was questioned, are you a constitutional lawyer? And the answer is, well, I took a course on it in college.
Speaker 2 No, but I stayed at a holiday inn.
Speaker 2 That's exactly right.
Speaker 9
Exactly right. No, it's totally constitutional.
Article 1, Section 10, was put in by the founders. It says that a state can make nothing other than gold and silver coin legal tender in the state.
Speaker 9 They can't make anything else. Every court ruling has said that means they can make gold and silver legal tender.
Speaker 9
A state can't coin money. That's true.
They can't produce their own coin that's half nickel and part copper and part gold. But they can make gold and silver legal tender, period.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2
So what happened? You have unanimous support. I mean, I have not seen a House bill go through with not a single vote against it.
How rare is that today?
Speaker 2 And then only four votes against in the Senate, and then the governor vetoes it. What was Governor Cox thinking?
Speaker 9 I don't know if he was worried that he would look silly among his other governors at the cocktail parties, or if he just didn't want Utah to be first, which is something he said, or he was worried about just minor things.
Speaker 9 In fact, he said he was worried that the private funding that would support this was somehow going to taint the vendor selection process, which is nonsense.
Speaker 9 The vendor selection process under Marlow Oaks would be pristine.
Speaker 9 I was a part of the precious metal study that looked at this with a former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve, with head of the Utah Bankers Association, with former CFO of Citigroup and American Express.
Speaker 9 Everybody agreed this can be done.
Speaker 9 And we actually, it was Economic War Room that wrote a letter and said, we will put up the funding privately, not because we are a gold dealer. We're not.
Speaker 9 I don't even have a gold sponsor on my program so that nobody could ever accuse us of being tied into the gold industry in some ways. So it's nonsense what the governor said.
Speaker 9 And I expect his veto to be overridden if the people rise up.
Speaker 2 All right. So what do people have to do?
Speaker 9 Well, what we want them to do is call your representatives and say you voted unanimously for this.
Speaker 9 Override the governor's veto. He's been overridden before,
Speaker 9
and in other states, they've overridden. This is so popular.
It's probably the most popular thing I've ever been a part of.
Speaker 9
In Texas, for example, in our primary, 1.6 million Texans voted for essentially what HB 306 offers. And that's 76.5% of the people want this.
So come on, Utah. And why is this?
Speaker 2 Why is it?
Speaker 2 What does it do for the average person? Why is this so important?
Speaker 9
It makes gold and silver actual money. So the Utah state can pay their vendors.
They have a rainy day fund. They put up to 10% of the rainy day fund in gold and silver.
Speaker 9
If something bad happens with a dollar, it gets really weak or whatever. This allows Utah to pay vendors in gold or silver at the vendor's option.
Or they can pay them in U.S.
Speaker 9 dollars and have it automatically convert to gold and silver. It makes gold and silver functional as money in the economy.
Speaker 9 It's really important legislation, and the governor's veto of it was ill-advised and ill-informed.
Speaker 2 I have to tell you, if I had an option to where I could put
Speaker 2 money in, everything in my bank in gold or silver, I don't even know if this is possible, Kevin, but put all of my money in gold or silver so it held its value.
Speaker 2 with inflation the way it's been going and then write a check or use my credit card and it just goes into dollars
Speaker 2 you know it sends people dollars, my bank account would be steady. I wouldn't be losing all of this money.
Speaker 2 I could afford to buy eggs because my dollar is not going down as the price of eggs are going up.
Speaker 2 The value of my money is actually holding or increasing, right?
Speaker 9
That's exactly what this does. We have legislation in Texas.
I'm in Florida right now. I'm going to have to jump off in a minute to go testify in the Florida Senate.
Speaker 9
They're very close to passing a bill. Oklahoma has passed it out of the House.
Kansas has passed it out of the Senate.
Speaker 9 This is a movement started on that book, Pirate Money, that I wrote, and that was the intention: to make it to where you, Glenn, could have your money held in gold or silver and spend it when you want to, just like currency.
Speaker 9 Totally constitutional, easy to do, simple legislation, and we're on the cusp of making it happen. And the first best, first early legislation on this was HB 306 in Utah, which the governor vetoed.
Speaker 9 Okay.
Speaker 2
This movement is beginning now. This veto just happened.
So if you call, if you're in Utah, but I would call in any state and tell your legislature that you want this to happen.
Speaker 2 There are multiple states, Florida, Texas. What are the ones that are close now? Florida and Texas?
Speaker 9
Florida, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas. People can go to transactionalgold.com.
That's our website. It's a nonprofit website.
I mean, it's our website. It's not there to sell them anything.
Speaker 9 And they can see where their state is and they can see how they can take action. Great.
Speaker 2 Transactional Gold? Is that right?
Speaker 9 TransactionalGold.com. Okay, good.
Speaker 2 And the name of the book is Pirate Money, PirateMoneyBook.com. You can get it there.
Speaker 2
And Kevin is not here. We were at a fundraiser this weekend and we were talking.
So he's not here to sell you anything.
Speaker 2 It sounds like I'm pushing the book because I want him to, but I want you to read this book. It's really, really very clarifying.
Speaker 2 And I really think that we all need to get together on this. If we're going to save our country, we have to save the almighty dollar.
Speaker 2 We have to, somebody has to be around that's not holding everything in dollars. You know, if the dollar collapses, go ahead, you know, send me that wheelbarrow full of money as I sell my stocks.
Speaker 2 I don't want it.
Speaker 2
And the states need to be the backstop on this, and they can be. So transactionalgold.com.
And if you're in Utah, make sure you push hard. Now is the time to get them to override the veto.
Speaker 2
And unanimous support, both sides. Only four votes were no, and those were the minority members.
So four Democrats, everybody else in the House and the Senate voted yes for this. So it's popular.
Speaker 2
So this is something that you can unite around. Contact your state representative and your state senator today.
It's in Utah, HB 306. By the way, this is going to happen in Florida here soon as well.
Speaker 2 Is the governor in Florida? He's for this, isn't he?
Speaker 9
I believe so. I've met with him personally and met with his staff last night.
I think he's very supportive.
Speaker 2
Okay. Kevin, thank you.
Thank you very much. Thanks for everything you do.
Appreciate it. Thank you, Glenn.
All right. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 2 Right now, I want you to go with me to an interesting place.
Speaker 2 What if every time you talk to one of your friends on the phone, you knew it was donating a little bit of money to a really good cause, one that you believed in, one that was fighting for the, you know, first and second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth.
Speaker 2
Well, I mean, the third amendment, I don't think we need to fight for. I don't think anybody's really challenging the quartering of soldiers in anybody's houses.
But
Speaker 2 if it was fighting for the Bill of Rights, every time you made a phone call, every time you tweeted something from X on your phone, every time you watched a cat video, you were doing good.
Speaker 2 This is exactly what's happening with Patriot Mobile. Unlike a lot of big mobile phone companies, we're looking at you, Verizon, you can feel great about using them.
Speaker 2
It's a Christian-owned company with an awesome cell phone coverage. They're U.S.-based service techs.
They're all from here, so it's really great.
Speaker 2 And they're fighting every day to uphold the rights and the values that helped build this nation 250 years ago. Every call and text you make,
Speaker 2 When you send it through Patriot Mobile, it'll help fund causes that you believe in. And it's all out in the open right there on the website, patriotmobile.com/slash Beck.
Speaker 2 Patriotmobile.com/slash Beck or call them now, 972-PATRIOT.
Speaker 2 There you have it.
Speaker 2 The truth stripped down like a fence post in a prairie storm.
Speaker 2 Glenn Beck returns after this.
Speaker 10 And now a scary story brought to you by Instacart.
Speaker 10
Saturday was busy, but now it's Sunday, so you're rotting in bed. And that's when you start to smell something rotten.
And
Speaker 10 it's not you. You follow the smell to the laundry room where you find a full pile of laundry and an empty container of detergent.
Speaker 10 Panic sets in, but then you open Instacart and order everything you need to get your life back together, delivered in as fast as 30 minutes. For one less Sunday scary, we're here.
Speaker 2 Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 2 If you have something wrong with your car, you might want to get it fixed today if you have a foreign car
Speaker 2 because the tariffs go into place tomorrow
Speaker 2 and that's going to jack the price up of foreign cars. foreign parts, foreign everything, up to 25%.
Speaker 2 And that's not going to be good when your car goes down.
Speaker 2 If you're looking to buy a new car, if it's a foreign car,
Speaker 2 today would be the day to pull the trigger if you're right around that.
Speaker 2 Or start looking at used cars now, because if these tariffs do kick in and stay for a while, they are going to drive the price of used cars because people are not going to pay 25%
Speaker 2
more. They'll try to find a gently used car.
And so we'll go through kind of what we did during
Speaker 2 COVID,
Speaker 2
where used cars are. I mean, I talked to a friend the other day.
He said, I'm thinking about buying a bunch of used cars. And I'm like, hey, that's, I mean, good luck with that.
Speaker 2
I mean, it might be a good move. Might be a stupid move.
I don't know. I'm not the guy that.
Speaker 2 If I were doing it, I would definitely say it's a stupid move. But since I'm not doing it,
Speaker 2
the chances are it's going to be working out great for people. But anyway, so Trump rolled out the tariff blitz on Friday.
Canada, 25% duties on dairy and lumber. Mexico, 20% on steel and autos.
Speaker 2 He's saying this is a shield for American workers because of everything that's been going on with, you know, we gutted manufacturing here in America.
Speaker 2
Canada has threatened counter tariffs on our energy. Mexico said, we're going to hurt you on agriculture.
Oh, our toast. Going to be avocado-free, maybe.
Speaker 2
Prices for cars and groceries are going to tick up. Markets slid 300 points on Friday.
But this isn't about punishing neighbors. That's one thing that we have to keep in mind.
Speaker 2 This is not about punishing our neighbors. This is trying to claw back what globalism stole from all of our countries.
Speaker 2 One, our economic spine.
Speaker 2 You know, the
Speaker 2 tariffs, I'm not for tariffs, but if you're trying to rebuild the country and bring jobs back here, the only way to do it is to have tariffs and to convince these companies to start making things here in America again.
Speaker 1 I'm, as you know, totally against tariffs. I know you are.
Speaker 1
Except for avocados. Raise them to 10,000%.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 They're evil. Yeah.
Speaker 2 First of all,
Speaker 1
they are alien eggs filled with green goo. Okay.
And if you want those in your country, then
Speaker 1 don't agree with me, but I would say 1 million percent tariffs on avocados.
Speaker 2
Get them out of here. They're just a target.
That's a strong, strong stance for somebody, especially somebody who's against tariffs.
Speaker 1 Against tariffs.
Speaker 1 Everyone has exceptions. Everybody.
Speaker 2 Yours is. And mine's avocados.
Speaker 1 Just tariff them into oblivion.
Speaker 2 How long do you think this is going to last?
Speaker 2
The tariffs. No, not the avocados.
They last forever, unfortunately. The only thing that will be left on earth will be avocados and cockroaches.
Right. And you.
Speaker 2 Because you were the one who was like, I built a shelter. Boy, was that a stupid idea? This world sucks.
Speaker 1 I'm eating avocados every day.
Speaker 2 I'd rather eat the cockroaches.
Speaker 1 I think your question is the answer to why this is a problem, right? Yes.
Speaker 1 You know, if people had a very easy to understand schedule, like I have a friend of mine who's much more pro-tariff than I am, and he's like, look,
Speaker 1
let's put them in over five years and increase them each year. So that, because auto manufacturing can't move from China to the U.S.
in a week. I know.
Speaker 1 I know. And if there was certainty,
Speaker 1 if there was a long-term plan that was in legislation that we could look at, it would, I still think, be the wrong policy, but would be one that we could handle a lot more easily.
Speaker 2 Markets do not like uncertainty.
Speaker 2 That's why we cannot keep doing these
Speaker 2 executive orders. You know, we can't go from a country that is so far left, and then the new president comes in and it goes so far right, and then the new president comes in and it goes back.
Speaker 2 You can't.
Speaker 1
Even though I like a lot of the executive orders that this president is doing, most of them, to be clear, are unwinding previous ones. Correct.
That does have to be done. It does.
Speaker 1 But you do eventually have to get to the legislation.
Speaker 2 You have to codify those things or the next president comes in, if he's on the left, he's just going to put him back in with executive order. They've got to go through Congress.
Speaker 2
It's like we were talking earlier. You know, Trump is talking about a third term.
No,
Speaker 2
no, no, no, no, no, no. Now, if you want that, then fight for it the right way and get a constitutional amendment and change the Constitution.
That's the way we do things here in America.
Speaker 2
You don't make an exception for one guy or another. We cannot swing like that.
That destabilizes our country even more.
Speaker 2 Do it the right way.
Speaker 2
I think I used to hear my dad say that to me all the time. Do it the right way the first time.
Here's Glenn Beck.
Speaker 2 Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
Speaker 2 Stand your ground when times get tired. Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
Speaker 2 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is
Speaker 2 the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 2
You know, it's just so brave, these people who are standing up and saying, these are my pronouns, and I don't like Tesla. You're so brave.
You're so brave.
Speaker 2 Not like those cowards that are, you know, in anti-Hamas protests, gathering in the streets in Gaza.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 2
All right. Find a spine.
Let me know. Oh, that's your spine over there.
Over there. Oh, and your foot's on the other side of the street.
Speaker 2
It's kind of an interesting thing to have anti-Hamas protests in Gaza, but that is what is happening. We're going to get an update on what's happening in the Middle East.
And also,
Speaker 2 you know, these universities that are now
Speaker 2 just, they're now silencing free speech.
Speaker 2 Tufts, just,
Speaker 2 I guess they,
Speaker 2
they just don't like, like, you know, they don't like free speech. You know, they're just kicking out students that are like, hey, I don't like Israel.
I think all the Jews should die.
Speaker 2 And, you know, little things like that.
Speaker 2
We're going to get all the details from Josh Hammer here in just a second of what's going on. First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
What does trust mean to you?
Speaker 2 All around you every day, you can find empty promises, half-truth, lies, conflicting agendas. But trust?
Speaker 2 Who do you even trust anymore? Trust is
Speaker 2 really something that no one can demand from you, but almost anyone can earn from you, but it takes time and they have to be willing to do so.
Speaker 2 A little over a decade ago, I put together a company called Real Estate Agents I Trust. And what I was looking for was real estate agents that you could trust, people who we could do our homework on.
Speaker 2 And based on me working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal, I found out what makes them tick.
Speaker 2 What are the qualities that put you into that upper class? And then we started looking for those people. You're making life-altering decisions when you have to buy or sell a house.
Speaker 2
The agents we work with will pair you up when you reach out to us. The top sellers in your area, top sellers, high workers, bright, industrious.
They're people you can trust.
Speaker 2
Real estate agents iTrust.com. The name says it all.
Realestateagentsitrust.com.
Speaker 2
Josh Josh Hammer from Newsweek, Senior Editor at Large, host of America on Trial, and the author of Israel and Civilization. Kind of a small topic on that one.
Josh, how are you?
Speaker 6 Glenn, my friend, I'm doing great. How are you, sir?
Speaker 2 Good. So tell me, first of all, can we start with the Gaza protests? I mean,
Speaker 2 what kind of guts does it take to do that?
Speaker 6 Well, it takes tremendous guts, and
Speaker 6 it is tragic that some of the individuals that we've seen thus far who have risen up against Hamas have been thrown into prison already, or
Speaker 6 at least according to reports, at least one or two potentially have actually been killed by Hamas. I mean,
Speaker 6 this is not surprising, unfortunately, Glenn.
Speaker 6 You're dealing here with a totalitarian Islamist death cult that is trying to take Gaza back to the seventh century and, frankly, to take whatever territory they can and back to that time period as well.
Speaker 6 But it takes tremendous guts.
Speaker 6 Unfortunately, we still have a ways to go.
Speaker 6 The West that is still has a ways to go to get to a Hamas-free Gaza, but ultimately, a Gaza that is totally rid of the Hamas jackboot is the only kind of Gaza that can play any role for anyone.
Speaker 6
Jew, Arab, Christian, Druze, anyone there. So Hamas is going to have to go.
It's going to be a bit of a slogbo.
Speaker 2 Have you ever seen this before? Because I don't remember this ever happening.
Speaker 6 Honestly, I would really have to think. I mean, like, nothing comes immediately to mind, right? I mean, they had their civil war back in 2007.
Speaker 6 So Israel withdraws from Gaza in 2005, the unilateral withdrawal, one of the most tragic short-sighted decisions in retrospect in all of Israel's history.
Speaker 6 And then two years later, there's this bloody civil war on the streets of Gaza between Hamas and Fatah. That's the purportedly more moderate group led by Mahmoud Abbas.
Speaker 6 It's not particularly more moderate there. And back then, around that time, during the the Palestinian Arab civil war in Gaza, you had anti-Hamas demonstrations.
Speaker 6 But for the most part since then, Glenn, and we're dealing with roughly 18 years now at this point,
Speaker 6 they have ruled with such an iron fist and a totalitarian jackpoo that demonstrations like this are certainly few and far between.
Speaker 2 Tell me about Tufts.
Speaker 6 Look, you're dealing here with people that
Speaker 6 have to go.
Speaker 6 I mean, whether it's a situation at Tufts, whether it's this kidney doctor at Brown University, whether it's Mahmoud Khalil, whether it's this researcher, I saw a headline out of New Haven, Connecticut.
Speaker 6 I'm actually flying to to New Haven tomorrow to give a few talks at Yale University.
Speaker 6 I saw Yale Law School is now cutting ties with a senior researcher there for her questionable ties to a terrorist organization.
Speaker 6 I mean, first of all, Glenn, what does it say about our upper echelons of American education, that schools like Yale, Columbia, Tufts, which is no academic slouch in its own right?
Speaker 6 I mean, what does it say that we are dealing with the level of miscreants and jihad-connected actors on these campuses that we're even having these conversations?
Speaker 2 Well, she's we've been, you know, I've been following Yale for years.
Speaker 2
Yale had this going on right after 9-11. They were bringing people in that were jihadists.
Incredible.
Speaker 6 They certainly were. And I think back to those first days as well at Harvard.
Speaker 6 I mean, after October 7th, there, when there were 32, 33 Harvard student groups, whatever the exact number was, that came out in unison to blame Israel for their own Nazi-esque pogrom that was inflicted against them there.
Speaker 6 I mean, Glenn, sometimes I actually pause and I'm not even making this up.
Speaker 6 I actually sometimes ask myself, if 9-11, God forbid, were to happen today, would the faculty lounge at Harvard, Yale, and the schools like that actually cheer for the United States or take the other side?
Speaker 6 I think it's an entirely fair question to ask.
Speaker 6 I genuinely do not know the answer.
Speaker 6 Ultimately, these deportation proceedings, whether it's Mahmoud Khalil, whether it's the Turkish student at Tufts University, the kidney doctor at Brown,
Speaker 6 the law on this is pretty straightforward. If you are not a United States States citizen, if you are anything from a short-term travel visa all the way up to an LPR, i.e.
Speaker 6 a green card, if you are anywhere in that spectrum, if you are an alien, you do not have the permanent right to be here. You are simply here at the discretion of we the people.
Speaker 6 And as Justice Robert Jackson, who was actually the dissenter in the Japanese internment case of Koromatsu, they called him the great dissenter because of that, as even he said in a separate 1953 case called Shaughnessy at the Supreme Court, he said that due process does not entail any alien with the right to remain here in the United States against the national will.
Speaker 6 So the law is actually pretty straightforward. What we're seeing here are these paroxysms of this sprawling anti-Trump judicial insurrection.
Speaker 6 But over the course of time, these folks are going to get deported. I feel pretty confident.
Speaker 2 So I'm very worried about, I mean, for the first time now in polls,
Speaker 2 I think it's 47%
Speaker 2 of the American people are now backing Israel.
Speaker 2 That's not good,
Speaker 2 especially when you look at, I mean, your book talks about it, Israel and Civilization.
Speaker 2 Israel goes down. Those who don't support Israel, it's not going to go well for you.
Speaker 2 Israel is fundamental to the West.
Speaker 6 And the book, Glenn, Israel and Civilization, which you wrote such a beautiful blurb for, and truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for that.
Speaker 6 The word Israel in the title is something of a double entendre, where it refers to the state of Israel, but also to the children of Israel, the Jewish people.
Speaker 6 And as people have understood all throughout history, you come to the Saturday people first as a mere stepping stone to get to the Sunday people.
Speaker 6 So Karl Marx is actually a great example here.
Speaker 6 Karl Marx, one of the 19th century's most infamous self-hating Jews himself, has this infamously anti-Semitic treatise called On the Jewish Question, which he publishes a few years prior to the Communist Manifesto.
Speaker 6 He's not mincing words about his dripping disdain for Judaism, the actual religion. But what was Karl Marx's actual goal?
Speaker 6 I mean, his ambitious, and thank God thus far unsuccessful goal has been nothing less than the overthrowing of Western capitalism and Western Christendom, the civilization that Christians have built off of the Judaic-Jewish foundations there.
Speaker 6 So Hamas and their charter from the late 1980s, the anti-Semites are very clear.
Speaker 6 Again, you come for the original people of the book, and then eventually you will come to to what the Pope many years ago referred to as the great Gentile offshoot of the original tree trunk, of the original five books of Moses, the children of Israel there.
Speaker 6 And then looking at the geopolitical chessboard, the capital S state of Israel is just the geopolitical version of this exact argument.
Speaker 6 They come for the state of Israel, whether it's at the World Economic Forum or the World Health Organization, the United Nations, the Globalists, the transnational folks there.
Speaker 6 They come for Israel because Israel, again, represents a shining beacon of the J.O. Christian Western civilization.
Speaker 6
But another interesting point that I argue in the book, Len, they also come after Israel because they are globalists. They hate the nation state.
They hate nationalism.
Speaker 6 Israel is actually the world's first real nation-state, I argue, going back to biblical times.
Speaker 6 When King David unites the tribes of Israel in Jerusalem, that's the predecessor in antiquity to the modern post-1648 Westphalian nation-state.
Speaker 6 So to their diabolical credit, they're actually being kind of logically consistent here. If your goal,
Speaker 6 Allah George Soros, Open Society Foundation, Klaus Schwab, is to eradicate all borders, I call it the geopolitical version of the John Lennon song, Imagine, the worst song of all time, this notion that we're trying to eradicate all the things that make us human.
Speaker 6 It actually makes a lot of sense that you would start with the oldest nation, that is the nation of Israel.
Speaker 6 So
Speaker 6 for all these reasons, and then more of Lennon, people
Speaker 6 who care about the West, who care about the nation-state, Jews, Christians, just all those who care about our joint shared inheritance, you have to care about this stuff.
Speaker 2 Well, I mean, it's because of Israel that we have in the Old Testament, that we have a personal one-on-one relationship with a God that is personal to us, listens to us, speaks to us as individuals.
Speaker 2 I mean,
Speaker 2 it's the beginning of
Speaker 2 the power of the actual
Speaker 2
individual and the power against totalitarianism and kings that are dictators. I mean, that's the source of all freedom.
It starts there in the Old Testament.
Speaker 6 It does.
Speaker 6 I mean, I argue in the book, Israel and Civilization, that what today we call Western civilization actually begins with God's revelation to Mount Sinai, the day that he brought his revealed word
Speaker 6
to a people there. And that's so much that we take for granted today is directly downstream of that.
You know, Glenn, I have a very interesting example that I sometimes like to talk about.
Speaker 6 So sometimes you and I in the past have chatted about Donald Trump and the law fair, and it's all horrible.
Speaker 6
But one thing that we've heard from the left, Glenn, over and over again, is they love to say, no one is above the law. And I agree with that.
I totally agree with that.
Speaker 6 But even more important, I have to ask our friends on the left, do you guys know where that principle comes from?
Speaker 6 Notion that no one is above the law, the king is not above the law. That's literally from the book of Deuteronomy.
Speaker 6 And I sometimes wonder, you know, if if they actually understood that, if they understood the biblical origins of everything today, just how much more depressed they might be there.
Speaker 6 But the point of this book, Glenn, is to call on Jews and Christians to remember where we come from and to engage in nothing less ambitious than a joint biblical restoration project.
Speaker 6 Because without that inheritance and without understanding that and doubling down on that, I genuinely do fear that we will not be able to turn back the tide against the very real hegemonic forces, wokeism, Islamism, and what I call global neoliberalism that threaten to engulf us all today.
Speaker 2 We're talking to Josh Hammer, he's from Newsweek, the editor-at-large. Also, his book is Israel and Civilization.
Speaker 2 You know, I'm watching what's happening over in Europe, and
Speaker 2 I just don't know what it's going to take. You know, I don't know if you saw this, but
Speaker 2 Maureen Le Pen
Speaker 2 was banned from running. They put her in jail and then banning her from running
Speaker 2
for office in France. That's not good.
They're just going to keep pushing people further and further and further until you get really scary people.
Speaker 2
And, you know, you've got these countries being overrun by Islamists. Not Islam, Islamists, people who believe in Sharia law and their way or the highway.
And
Speaker 2 boy, I mean, how long before they're going to wake up? And do they wake up in time?
Speaker 6
So I did see the Le Pen Pen news. I wish I could say I'm shocked.
Unfortunately, I'm not shocked because I have a very high threshold for being shocked at this point.
Speaker 6 But whether it's France, whether it's a very similar situation in Romania to their leading right-wing politician, a man named Georgescu, whether it's Donald Trump and the law affair that we were just talking about here, whether it's in Israel, Bibi Netanyahu is facing his own version of deep state law affair against him as well there.
Speaker 6 All around the world, you see in these first world democracies, the deep state, an overweening judiciary, they are dramatically overstepping, ironically, Glenn, in the name or the purported name of quote-unquote democracy.
Speaker 6 That maybe is the most ironic part of all this there.
Speaker 6 When you see people like these judges and prosecutors in France, the prosecutors here in the United States, people like Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, they're always saying that what they're doing is in the name of the people, that what they're doing is in the name of democracy there.
Speaker 6 But, you know, this too can really relate back, I think, to the biblical inheritance there, because ultimately, when you understand, as you were just saying, that there is a God, that he is real, that we are created in his image, and that we can have a personal relationship with him, that he reveals his word, his truth, and so forth.
Speaker 6 There,
Speaker 6 when you understand this and you live your life according to that, according to those manners and those precepts and those values and so forth there, it puts your head in a fundamentally different place.
Speaker 6 And you're going to be much less likely, I think, to dramatically overstep your bounds there. The American founders totally understood this, by the way, as you know probably better than anyone
Speaker 6 in all of media today.
Speaker 6 The American founders totally understood that without this biblical foundation where you understand that what happens here in this world is important because we have free will and we are endowed with free will by our creator, but ultimately is all subservient to something much more powerful there.
Speaker 6 That is why George Washington in his farewell address says that religion,
Speaker 6 not just faith or not just morality, but actual revealed biblical religion is the most indispensable safeguard for truth and Republican self-governance there.
Speaker 6 And I do fear that we're starting to lose that, which is part of the reason that I wrote this book, Israel and Civilization.
Speaker 2 So we're talking to Josh Hammer.
Speaker 2 Hang on, Josh, because I want to take you to
Speaker 2 what was turned out.
Speaker 2
kind of the cockroaches that kind of crawled out from underneath the fridge when the JFK files were released last week. I found this fascinating.
I'd like to get your thoughts on it.
Speaker 2 In 60 Seconds First, history unfolds daily before our eyes.
Speaker 2 After well over a year of the worst mass attack on Jews in Israel since the Holocaust, that nation is still standing firm in the face of chaos. But the storm they face is not over.
Speaker 2 It rages on and on and on, from the nasty bouts of anti-Semitism creeping further and further into the public sphere all over the world to the literal and credible threat of further violence.
Speaker 2 God's people are far from safe, and neither are you. As Joshua was just saying, the Sunday people come next.
Speaker 2
Israel's not just a country. She's a symbol of hope and strength.
But to keep that flame alive in a region that enemies surround her on all sides, she needs something very simple and powerful.
Speaker 2
And that is security and hope. Somebody that will stand with them.
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground in Israel, and
Speaker 2
nobody knows what's going on better than they do. They need flack jackets, bulletproof vests, and so much more.
They need prayers and they need friends.
Speaker 2 If we want our government to do less, that means we have to do more.
Speaker 2
Give now and bless Israel and her people by visiting supportifcj.org. That's one word, supportifcj.org, or call 888-488-IFCJ.
888-488-IFCJ. 10 seconds, station ID.
Speaker 2 You know, Josh, when the JFK files came out last week, I was amazed at how many people said, well, the Mossad killed JFK. The Mossad killed JFK.
Speaker 2 First of all, I don't know why people think the Mossad is so bad, but our
Speaker 2 CIA is so much better.
Speaker 2 Their intelligence agencies don't trust any of them, quite honestly.
Speaker 2
But I saw things like this. CIA is Mossad.
Israel is the Bank
Speaker 2
of England and the Rothschild dynasty. Look it up, Glenn.
What? You talk about JFK files, Glenn, and you're not going to even mention Israel?
Speaker 2 It's pretty easy to pin it on the CIA and Alan Dulles, but who pulled those strings? It was clearly Israel. My gosh, Josh, what?
Speaker 2 Where is this coming out from?
Speaker 6 Yeah, you know, it's funny, Glenn.
Speaker 6 77,000 pages or whatever it was released from the National Archives, and a lot of these anti-Semites on social media, you know, apparently it took them 10 minutes to read through 77,000 pages and arrive at that,
Speaker 6 arrive at the grand conclusion that has evaded all of America for the past six-plus decades.
Speaker 6 Look,
Speaker 6 even if Mossad
Speaker 6 wanted to assassinate the president, which is obviously beyond ludicrous on its face,
Speaker 6 I think tragically what we saw in October 7, 2023 is that Mossad even is not necessarily
Speaker 6 as omnipotent as some people seem to think that it is. You know,
Speaker 6 there's this anti-Semitic trope going back thousands of years that Jews control the strings, that they are all powerful there.
Speaker 6 And today, Jews are, what, roughly 14 to 15 million across the entire world.
Speaker 6 The population of global Jewry has still not gotten back to the number that it was prior to the Nazi invasion of Poland and the commencement of World War II. But
Speaker 6 just kind of dealing with this head-on just for a second here,
Speaker 6 JFK was a great friend actually of the Jewish people in the Jewish state. He and RFK, RFK was, as listeners know, of course, was assassinated by a Palestinian Arab terrorist.
Speaker 6 And among those reasons was that the Kennedy family have become so pro-Israel.
Speaker 6 That was a shift for sure from the patriarch of the Kennedy family, the bootlegger back from the early 20th century, who was himself more anti-Semitic.
Speaker 6 But JFK and RFK were staunch supporters of Israel at a time when the Democratic Party of America's two parties was actually the more reliably Zionist of the two.
Speaker 6 That starts to change after the 1967 war.
Speaker 2
Josh, I got to cut you. I'm sorry, but we're out of time.
I got to cut you. We'll have you back on.
Speaker 2 Love to talk to you. The name of the book is
Speaker 2
real quick here. It's Israel and Civilization.

Speaker 2 So Snow White continues to crash and burn, and it couldn't happen to a better group of people than the people at Disney.
Speaker 2 You know, and it's now being labeled, it's
Speaker 2 it, my son told me on Saturday, and I didn't check this, but Rafe told me, he said, Dad, have you seen it's officially the worst movie of all time now?
Speaker 2 And it's clearly not that, but it shows you what
Speaker 2
happens when you overplay your hand. This is Disney overplaying their hand and saying, we know better than you.
We're going to jam this down your throat. Nobody cares.
Nobody cares anymore.
Speaker 2 In fact, it's, you know, you're learning this with Tesla. I predict Tesla sales will go up if they haven't already,
Speaker 2 because you're not going to, you're going to get a lot of people to just say, you know, screw you.
Speaker 2 We saw it with Donald Trump. You know, by
Speaker 2
going after him and using everything, you're just, you're turning the tides. You're seeing it also in a way with the press.
The press has been so far to the left, so far beyond fair.
Speaker 2
You know, we all grew up with the press going, yeah, they're, they're slanted. It's not slanted.
It is pravda.
Speaker 2
It is an a fully funded, as we know now, fully funded and operated organization of the federal government when the left is in charge or the Democratic Party. That's what it is.
It's propaganda.
Speaker 2
You know, and it's people are... People are done with it.
They're just done with it. You can't continue to overplay your hand this way.
Speaker 2 And now, you know, what's it going to cost it's going to cost officer the grouch he's going to lose his garbage can oh
Speaker 2 you know i i i have been against npr and uh pbs for a very very very very very very very long time when they say and these programs funded by people like you they don't mean you they mean those who are paying taxes Oh, sure, and you can give too, but you pay taxes.
Speaker 2 That's how that, why? Why are we paying taxes for that? You know, I grew up with Big Bird and Bob Ross, and I think it's wonderful and it's great. But why am I paying for that? Okay.
Speaker 2
And they're not painting happy trees on PBS now, you know, or, you know, teaching kids to count. That's not it.
It's all about power.
Speaker 2
Last week, we really didn't talk about the CEO of MPR, Catherine Maher. We talked about her somewhat, but I don't think enough.
Because she's not just running a radio network.
Speaker 2 She is the chairman of the board of Signal,
Speaker 2 The encrypted messaging app, you know, that we know now is really a CIA front. She's the chairman of the board.
Speaker 2 And if that's a coincidence, I'm the Easter bunny. I mean, we do both have white hair, so maybe.
Speaker 2 They have been caught with their pants down over and over and over again, pushing the Russian collusion hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up, the Jussie Smollett, you know, sob fest.
Speaker 2 Their DC newsroom has 87 registered Democrats and zero Republicans.
Speaker 2
Zero. That's not a newsroom.
That is a political action committee with a better microphone. That's all that is.
And you're paying for it. And I don't understand why.
Speaker 2 I mean, we have our government actively meddling in places like the Middle East and Europe, helping topple governments while pretending to care about the truth.
Speaker 2
No, no, no, no, that's not the free market. The free market, if NPR wants to play propaganda puppet, fine, but you're going to end up like Disney's going to end up.
You're going to end up like,
Speaker 2
you know, Snow White. Not going to end well for you.
And I don't mind if it's a free market, do it on your own time. Doesn't no skin off my back that Disney is doing this.
I don't care.
Speaker 2 I'm not a shareholder.
Speaker 2 If I were a shareholder, I would have sold my shares long ago.
Speaker 2 You know, if PBS and NPR, they want to do this, good, then let them compete with the podcasters and the YouTubers and those who post on X, who, you know, at least the ones that aren't
Speaker 2 getting government handouts.
Speaker 2 I mean,
Speaker 2 this is the way this has to play out. Free press, if we are going to actually fix our nation, then we have to have a free press.
Speaker 2 I mean, Gutenberg, the little invention of the printing press, that wasn't a government thing.
Speaker 2 That wasn't government funded. in fact I think the governments were probably very much against the printing press when it
Speaker 2 came out they were like no no no is that gonna work out well for us
Speaker 2 it was not government funding it was private people knowing
Speaker 2
that they could make a profit And they could spread knowledge faster than any king or emperor could ever dream if they made the printing press. They could inform people.
It was a service.
Speaker 2
People liked it. Take the American frontier.
It wasn't the government that did all that. It was private individuals.
They didn't wait for Washington.
Speaker 2 You know, I'm going to cross these mountains as soon as Washington will build a couple of roads cross that.
Speaker 2 Do you know when they finished the Rocky Mountain Pass? What is it?
Speaker 2
I can't remember. I-2035.
I can't remember. It's one of those.
Interstate. They just finished it.
They started it during Eisenhower. They finished it, I think, in Trump's first term.
Speaker 2
Okay, nobody really waited for that to be finished. They just kind of went and did it.
It's that's the free market.
Speaker 2 Now compare that to the state-run media and the CEO of NPR that can sit in front of Congress and dodge all kinds of questions. You know,
Speaker 2
she's dancing. It was like an audition for dancing with the stars.
She was tap dancing so much. It was a farce.
Speaker 2 But we're not laughing.
Speaker 2 And America should be a little angry about it. Because if we want to be the strongest and most prosperous nation, honestly, who doesn't want that?
Speaker 2 Not at the expense of others, not so we can exert our power.
Speaker 2 Remember, it's the conservatives right now who are trying to stop people like the CEO of NPR, who has been around the country, you know, planting the seeds or color revolutions all over the world.
Speaker 2
I don't want my tax dollars doing that. I don't want my country doing that.
Do you want your country just picking and choosing the winners of other countries? Because I don't.
Speaker 2
Okay. I want to be a strong nation.
I want to be a prosperous nation because because when we are, we can help so many other people.
Speaker 2 I believe in charity, just not in government charity that seems to be funneling it into people like George Soros.
Speaker 2 I want to help people that want to be free,
Speaker 2 but I want to do it because we have to fix things ourselves, not the government.
Speaker 2 But that means we have to fix ourselves. It starts at home
Speaker 2 because Washington is never going to rediscover
Speaker 2 the eternal truth like fairness and honesty. Yeah, right.
Speaker 2 We have to start teaching our kids no means no, no means something.
Speaker 2 Property is not just stuff. It's a principle.
Speaker 2
Got to show them that the free market is not about greed. It's about choice.
It's about building something that lasts.
Speaker 2
You can't do that if the government's spoon feeding us its version of reality. through NPR and PBS.
I'm proud of what I've built in my life.
Speaker 2
I'm not proud of NPR or PBS. They might have done some great things, but I mean, my money went to that, but I didn't build it.
I don't agree with it half the time. Why am I spending money on it?
Speaker 2
They're not interested in you. They're interested in control.
They are a propaganda people. I mean, this is not about killing Big Bird, and that's what they're going to try to make this into.
Speaker 2 They want to kill Big Bird. No.
Speaker 2 No. If Big Bird wants to have a nest, go ahead.
Speaker 2 You know where you can nest? Netflix. You would do really, really well at Netflix.
Speaker 2 You know,
Speaker 2 that's the way it works.
Speaker 2 That's the free market.
Speaker 2 We have to start getting back to, there was a, you know, Elon Musk was saying this weekend,
Speaker 2 you know,
Speaker 2
Social Security, it just doesn't work. We really got to.
get out of the social security business because it doesn't work. No,
Speaker 2 I don't want to cut cut social security off for people who are, you know, who've saved their whole life, but were counting on social security.
Speaker 2 But really, if we're honest with each other, we all know, if you're my age, I grew up going, Ronald Reagan is saying Social Security is not going to make it, you know, in the early 2000s, it's going to collapse.
Speaker 2
So I shouldn't probably count on that one. And we all have plans, but we maybe didn't save because we hoped we were told, no, I've got this Social Security money in a lockbox.
Well, they didn't.
Speaker 2
They didn't. They were lying to you.
So he's saying now, you know, this by 2035, we probably should have this back into the free market.
Speaker 2 And that's the way it should be.
Speaker 2 But, you know, nobody on the left and really none of our kids going through school actually believe in the free market anymore. Because they've been told it doesn't work.
Speaker 2
They don't even know what it is. We haven't been living in a free market.
How long has it been since we've lived in a free market scenario, Stu.
Speaker 1 So many times, times, I mean, so many things we're not in a free market at all.
Speaker 2 Right.
Speaker 1 One of the things, though, that seemingly has helped Sesame Street survive all this time was $35 million a year from HBO.
Speaker 1 $35 million a year from HBO. That seems like
Speaker 1 maybe, I mean, I've seen the show.
Speaker 1 It's not all CGI. I mean, it's not.
Speaker 2 And do they know that
Speaker 2 most of the cast are puppets? They live in a drawer.
Speaker 2
It's not like Ernie's holding out on us. I mean, we can't go on without Ernie.
Got to give him. He lives in a drawer.
And
Speaker 1
he's not Union, right? Like, Ernie will work as long as you get somebody to flap his mouth. Crazy.
And so these shows could be seemingly produced. Now, they're losing this.
Speaker 1 One of the other challenges for them is they're losing this HBO money. They're now going to, as you point out, Netflix, Hulu.
Speaker 2
Right, so why are we still paying for it? We don't know. Why are we still paying for it? We shouldn't.
You know how much, you know how much...
Speaker 2
I mean, look at how many dolls and plush toys and everything else they've sold to us. They have plenty of money.
Why are they taking your hard-earned tax dollars when they can make plenty of money?
Speaker 2
Makes no sense. Makes no sense.
And yet we're going to kill Big Bird. I know.
Speaker 1
No, we're not. No, think about this.
We have to give Sesame Street money, right? That's the salary. We're going to kill Big Bird.
Speaker 1 In 2022, Sesame Workshop generated $271 million in revenue in one year.
Speaker 1 Why did we have, they seem to be able to stand on their own. and if they can't stand on their own with $271 million in revenue, they don't deserve to stand at all.
Speaker 2 It's amazing.
Speaker 1 Figure it out.
Speaker 2
Amazing. And if you had a couple of people that knew what they were doing with business, which they apparently do because they sell all the plush toys.
Right.
Speaker 2
I mean, it's just nuts. It's just nuts.
All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about Relief Factor.
I'm going to go out on a limb here. I mean,
Speaker 2 what if the solution to all those aches and pains pains that you've been living with isn't just another pill or injection? What if it's something simpler and far more natural? In fact,
Speaker 2 what if the solution was nature itself?
Speaker 2 I want to talk to you about Relief Factor. It's not a drug.
Speaker 2 It is a combination of various anti-inflammatory ingredients and other natural products that was developed by doctors and it helped me get my life back.
Speaker 2 And when I say, I want you to really fully understand this, that it could happen to you. All you have to do is try it it for three weeks.
Speaker 2 I thought, honestly, I told my wife just about a month before I started taking it because she forced me.
Speaker 2
I don't think I can do, I don't know how long I can do my job. I can't just keep doing this.
It's so much pain.
Speaker 2
I just want to live my life and be with my family, you know, because so much stress and everything else was just making it worse. I had gone to the Mayo Clinic.
I had gone everywhere.
Speaker 2
Couldn't stop it. Couldn't stop it.
Couldn't stop it. And my wife says, try relief factor.
I'm like, it's all natural. Yeah, that's going to work.
Sweetheart, don't you know?
Speaker 2 I've talked to people, you know, with
Speaker 2
things like from Columbia behind them on their wall. They're important.
They know.
Speaker 2
And she said to me, well, I'm not going to listen to you whine anymore. So I started taking it.
And
Speaker 2
in three weeks, I'm telling you, my pain was greatly reduced. Within a couple of months, it had broken the back of it.
Just try Relief Factor, 1-800-4 Relief, 1-800, the number 4 Relief.

Speaker 2 Glenn Beck.
Speaker 2 We'll be right back.
Speaker 1
Well, it's starting to warm up across the country. And finally, we're getting into some nicer weather.
It depends on where you are, though. Of course, it's very cold in some areas.
Speaker 1 One way to warm yourself up is to get by a Tesla and wait for someone to set it on fire. It's a nice, long-lasting flame, and you can warm yourself over those batteries.
Speaker 2 It's wonderful.
Speaker 1 Really psychotic moment in our country, right?
Speaker 1 Where we're now seeing yet again, it seems like this is a recurring theme, boys and girls, yet again, destruction of property, what amounts to domestic terrorism, being sort of like shoulder shrugged by certainly the left, if they're not celebrating it, and the media.
Speaker 1 And we saw this during the George Floyd riots, the same exact thing. Oh, well, I mean, it's only Minnesota.
Speaker 1 So, what if they light it on fire? It's only property of a, of an entire, it's only Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 It's only Portland.
Speaker 1 Who cares if they create their own
Speaker 1 distinct, separate nation within the borders of a city in the United States? So what? It's only property.
Speaker 1 This is a constant thing going on right now in our country, and we're supposed to kind of just shrug our shoulders at it.
Speaker 1
There was a scene. We have this.
This is a Tesla owner being boxed in in her car again, just because she's driving a Tesla in Arizona.
Speaker 4
Take a look at this. This is video from the victim's Tesla camera.
It shows a green car pulling up to a Tesla on busy Route 66, then swerving in front to box the Tesla in.
Speaker 4 The driver then walks over to the 61-year-old woman in the Tesla and reportedly starts hitting her while she's sitting behind the wheel. At one point, the woman says she bit the man's hand.
Speaker 4 Moments later, the passenger of the green car appears to walk over and pull the attacker away. They finally get back in their car and drive off.
Speaker 4 We spoke to the victim today who said she was terrified and can't understand why anyone would do this.
Speaker 1 What happened to the good old days when environmentalists would just glue themselves to things? You know, they would just put super glue on the floor in a factory and they would say that's a protest.
Speaker 1 And we would just all sit there and say, Okay, congratulations, you're now glued to the floor.
Speaker 1
We don't, you want to stay? I don't care. You just stay there as long as you want.
So I want to go back to idiots gluing themselves to things. But
Speaker 1 I mean, first of all, you're a pretty terrible human being if you get out and beat a 61-year-old woman while she's sitting in her car. But it's such a fascinating thing that it's coming from the left.
Speaker 1 The left who forced us. I mean, as of what was it, 18 months ago,
Speaker 1 we were all required to buy a Tesla,
Speaker 2 or we were environmental murderers.
Speaker 1 And here we are just a few months later, because one time, the guy who has done more for the environment than anyone probably in history by their own rules, their own definitions, has turned electric cars from this awful golf cart scenario into cars people actually want to buy, cars conservatives even want to buy.
Speaker 1 Done all of that, building spaceships to escape global warming to go to Mars. That guy, because he voted wrong one time, has turned into Hitler, to Satan.
Speaker 1
It is absolutely incredible, but yet so predictable. And by the way, they're causing environmental damage.
We run the numbers tonight on Stu Does America.
