What Glenn's Researchers Found in the JFK File Dump: Phase One | 3/19/25

Let me talk to you a little bit about Ammoed Square here, one of our sponsors.

Welcome to the future. If you're the type of person that likes to stockpile ammunition, I know I am, but unless you own your own warehouse and have a ton of disposable income at any given moment, it's not easy to do.
So let me tell you something that is, I think, going to be huge. There's a company in Idaho called Ammo Squared, and since 2015, they've been helping over 80,000 of their members automatically stockpile ammunition.
All you have to do is sign up, pick which ammunition you want from over 70 different calibers, set an automatic budget, and then they'll just ship it to you. Over time, your ammo will accumulate and AmmoSquared will store it in their climatecontrolled warehouse until you're ready to have them ship it.

So, easy to use.

Stay prepared without any of the hassles.

Four. Count them.
One, two, three, four four four judges in one day handed down a ruling that uh you know are not policy disagreements they are a direct challenge a direct challenge to the separation of powers i don't know if our judges understand the separation there are three branches of government equal and separate and when i say equal the founders pointed out that the supreme court and the judicial system is the weakest because it really doesn't have any power except to say what are you bringing into me i want to look at that is it is it following the constitution that's all it can Is it following the... It was so unimportant with our founders.
Up until FDR, remember, he wanted to empower the courts. He wanted to change the courts and everything else.
Up until FDR, you know where the Supreme Court was found? Right. Nobody did because it was in the basement.
When they built the Capitol, they were like, oh, yeah, we've got the Supreme Court thing. Where are we going to put them? Put them in the basement.
They were actually in the basement of the Capitol. That's how unimportant they were to our founders all the way up to FDR.
Then the progressives are like, hey, wait a minute. We've got to parachute into the utopia of progressivism

if we just make these men in black super, super important.

So they don't understand the separation of powers,

which is the beating heart of our Constitution.

Now, these aren't little things, okay?

This is a judicial power grab that is set to undermine the executive branch and by extension, who will are the people? The vote. Because none of us vote for the judges.
None of us vote for the justices on the Supreme Court. So yesterday, first, a judge orders the Trump administration to reinstate USAID workers.
Another one said, we demand that you disclose when and where these deportation flights with undocumented immigrants are happening. What are you? Are you an air traffic controller now, too? What the hell is that? Then there's a reinstatement of transgender policies in the military and finally the department of education has to bring back grants grants that congress didn't explicitly mandate in some cases you gotta you must spend that money well no not if congress didn't mandate it this isn't adjudication this is legislation from the bench, period.
Article 3 of the Constitution sets up the judiciary to interpret laws, not to run the government, to interpret laws. The executive, Article 2, gets to execute policy, especially on something like foreign aid or military personnel decisions, where the president has a clear constitution authority.
When the judges step in and say, no, you got to do it my way, you're not just overstepping, you're rewriting the entire thing. Take the USAID ruling here.
federal judge says elon musk Trump's doge team you can't just shutter an agency or or cut its workforce because it's likely constitutional well you're likely an idiot but that doesn't necessarily mean you are an idiot Congress creates agencies but the president then runs them. The executive branch, it's kind of like, you know, who runs Ford? Who runs Ford? The executive branch.
So if they want to cut the staff, the executive branch can do it. They have discretion over staffing and priorities again ceo managing a company if trump team says we're pausing foreign aid to reassess that's his call under article two not a judge's call his call if you look at history on this specific case andrew Jackson slashed the federal spending in the 1830s.
No court told him he couldn't do it because you don't get to micromanage the executive decisions unless there's a clear violation of a law. And likely unconstitutional is not a violation.
Likely unconstitutional isn't a law. It's an opinion.
And then there's the deportation flights. We demand that Trump tells us where these planes are taking off from, who's on these planes when they go back to their original destination.
I didn't hear any of these judges saying joe biden has to tell

us where he's taking these people who are illegally coming over the border and then we're just flying them to different cities all around the country i don't remember any judge saying that do you it's almost as if they have an agenda so a judge is telling trump when where who that's not transparency, That's handcuffing the executive's ability to enforce our laws. The president has power over borders and foreign affairs.
Don't ask me about it because I really thought that the states should have some say in it if the federal government is not enforcing the federal law and they're allowing an invasion to happen, I really believe that states should have the right to go, look, this is not a suicide compact. But no, no, no.
Everybody on the left said, no, you have no power over that. That's the president.
That's the federal government. Oh, okay oh okay so then you agree with me hundreds of times hundreds of times in the 1950s in 2018 trump versus hawaii 2018 they said deportation is messy but it's not the work of the judiciary to play flight scheduler imagine fdr having to justify you know every troop movement every plane in world war ii i need to see that place where is that plane taken off where is it where is it flying to what's on there who's on there uh no not your job it's it's a joke to even think of that the transgender military policy same deal the president is the commander-in-chief period nobody argued with that when he was saying hey you know dude you'd look really cute in a nice tight military.
Nobody said anything about his presidential powers when he put it in.

It's an executive call.

Okay.

Military readiness is not a debate for the courtroom.

And all that Trump is doing is reversing Biden's reversal of his original ban.

Now you can argue the merits but

the constitution doesn't give the judges a vote on who wears a uniform and should it be pants or a skirt goldman versus weinberger 1986 supreme court upheld military dress codes over individual rights because, and I quote, the executive gets deference.

Who's the executive?

Oh, not a judge. Who's the executive? Well, I don't know.
Who runs the executive branch? See, I just would like to talk down to John Roberts for just a minute because maybe you've just been working too hard. Maybe you're just, maybe you're tired.
You haven't had a good night's sleep, but it seems like you've been, like you were on the top, the tippy top of the stupid tree and you have hit every branch coming on down. a judge's job is to interpret the law not dictate the policy when the department of education when it gives out grants here's where it gets a little sticky congress appropriate appropriates the funds but the executives spend them or doesn't spend them unless specifically dictated by Congress.
Biden, the appointee Judge Amir, says Trump's impounding of two billion dollars in foreign aid violates separation of powers and here is here is the third branch

violating the separation separation of powers congress has the purse strings under article one but if the administration says we're cutting waste that's within the executive branch discretion unless Congress explicitly says,

no, sorry, we have the purse strings and you are going to spend that if you look at nixon in the 1970s he tried impoundment congress pushed back with the budget control act so if today's congress wants those grants they can pass the law judges have nothing to say about it now let me pivot to biden here for a second because i hear one more person say aren't you being a hypocrite no i'm not actually i'm being very consistent constitutional conservatives we're not blind we can see the easy parallels biden's student loan forgiveness plan what you we didn't have. You had a problem with him giving away.
Yes. Yes.
And you're right. I see the easy first grader parallels.
The president is doing something with money. Now that's where the similarity ends.
A $400 billion executive overreach. How can you possibly say that the higher education act did not authorize wiping out debt wholesale that's not the president's job to do now it was slapped down by uh the u.s supreme court 23, I think again in 24, Biden versus Nebraska, Trump cutting U.S.
aid or deporting immigrants. He's operating within the existing law.
Okay. The cutting the agency USAID, that's his discretion for USAID.
Biden bypassed Congress.

Biden took a proactive step and said, we're spending money.

Who holds the purse strings?

Why can the Congress step in and say, no, Mr. President, you are spending that money?

Because Congress holds the purse strings, not the president, not the legislative

branch. The Congress does.
So you can pass a law that says you're spending it. You pass a law that says you're not spending it.
You can pass a law that says, I'm sorry, Mr. President, but you are or are not going to spend it.

That's their purview.

Certainly not a justices. What Biden did was he came in and he said, yeah, I know you guys have you hold the purse strings.
Right. But here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to spend 400 million dollars doing something you guys never author it authorized something you never even considered. I'm going past you.
I'm grabbing the wallet and I'm spending the money. How am I a hypocrite on this? Do you not see the difference here? When Trump is doing this, these are enforcement calls.
And he has those according to article two the president joe biden was inventing new powers and i swear to you you let him get away with it the next thing you would do is like i can fly no you don't have that power mr president when you pause foreign aid to align with your foreign policy, which is an executive decision, that's the executive's job. When Biden forgives loans and just says, I'm spending money where there is no budget for it, passed by Congress, that's called breaking the laws.
Democrats cheered for the overreach of Biden, which was clearly clear.

I mean, honestly, people, really, if you're honest for a fraction of a second, you understand this. He didn't have the right to spend the money.
Only Congress does if they don't authorize him to spend that money. Now, just like your kids, you say, you know what, dad, I need to borrow the credit card because I'm going out tonight and I might have to stop and get gas or whatever.
Can I use your credit card? Yes, I am authorizing my son to take my credit card. I'm not authorizing him just to spend like crazy.
But under Biden, he was just taking the credit card. Now, are you happy if your son takes the credit card after you've authorized, you know, stop for gas and he comes back with a $100,000 bill? No, I'm not.
I'm really unhappy. But how happy are you if your son just takes your credit card out of your purse or your wallet in the middle of the night? You didn't authorize it.
And then he spends $100,000. Now that's a different kind of thing, isn't it? Because now it's gone from, are you out of control to, you're a thief.
Hypocrisy seems to be the Democrats' middle name right now. I want to give you one more thing on this.
And then I'm going to start in on John Roberts. Because I got a lot to say about John Roberts as well.
A lot, John.

Coming up in just a second.

First, give me 60 seconds.

There is a certain quality of self-reliance in the American soul.

I know.

Sometimes it seems like we've forgotten it.

And maybe that's one of the biggest parts of what's wrong with today's society.

We're weak.

We expect everything to be done for us, handed to us. I can't do that.
I'm a third responder. No, you're the first responder.
Underneath all of the layers of fat, there is one thing, a strong heart that beats in all of us, the resilient old America that we've always known and what made us who we are.

You and I are part of it. It's why we feel pride when we can solve our problems ourselves.

10 seconds, many reasons. I mean, I don't even understand the whole thing.
I know you're going to get into it, but it's just like he's criticizing Trump for something that didn't even happen. Uh-huh.
Right? Uh-huh. Do you know how he criticized? Do you know how he did this? Because I'm looking into it this morning, and I'm like, wait a minute.

I can't find the press release because he issued a statement. Where's the press release? How did he issue the statement? Oh, you'll not find it on the SCOTUS website.
You won't find it there. You won't find it anywhere anywhere he used uh the apparatus but he knew it was so wrong he's like don't post this anywhere just send this out you can't find it on any government website there's no official statement even though it's being described as an official statement they just sent it out from the the scotus i think press office they just sent it out but don't leave any record of it it's you want to make an official statement make an official statement you didn't want to make an official statement and yet you wanted to make an official statement so he sends this thing out and it is so full of crap and hypocrisy.
John Roberts, please, please shut the pie hole. But I'm going to make the point that he should shut the pie hole in just a just a minute.
And also, we're going to go over the JFK documents. Because they're chilling.
Yes. No, I saw it in a news story.
I'm not sure which news story it was, but apparently the files reveal thatfk was killed by seed oils uh it might have been the babylon b but i'm not we'll get into that coming up this is glenn beck all right there's a guy on the staff not me of course big fan of the second amendment he owns quite a few guns at home loves to go out and shoot firmly committed to the idea that he ever has to use them to protect his family he can and he will that's great however there's a wrinkle in all of this he's uh he has two kinds of uh of guns and weapons in his house because he has kids at home one is a teenager one's a little guy and a little guy has autism unfortunately he can't be trusted to be around guns because he has kids at home. One is a teenager, one's a little guy, and the little guy has autism.
Unfortunately, he can't be trusted to be around guns because he doesn't understand the dangers, etc., etc. The guns have to all stay locked up.
If you're a gun enthusiast at all, you know that when there's a home invasion, you have to have your gun locked up for safety with your kids, but you also need to have it handy. Well, this guy has two.
He's got the guns all locked up, and then he has the non-lethal Burna launcher. Non-lethal, but it packs quite a punch.
Kinetic or tear gas rounds. I mean, I don't want my kid playing with that either, but it's not the same as a gun.

Let me set the stage here. right chief justice john roberts the supposed guardian of judicial restraint has once again stepped into the spotlight not with a gavel but with a press release now remember these are the justices that go to the State of the Union, and you could say,

George Washington, he was the best, and America, it's the best.

It's done some things wrong, but it's really, really super great,

and they're not allowed to applaud.

They're not allowed to show any kind of deference one way or another. They sit there with their hands folded.
Why? So you don't show any kind of support one way or another. You are a neutral party.
Okay. So he issues a press release, strangely not through the Supreme Court, not through the usual channels.
Why? We'll get into that later. So it's a really rare move for a chief justice to do this.
And he rebukes the president, President Trump, for suggesting that judges who overstep their bounds might face impeachment. Okay, well, first of all, Trump, not known for his subtlety.
Him saying things like this, not really novel, really. And this opinion isn't that novel.
The Constitution vests Congress with the power to check the judiciary, just as it checks the executive. It's a blunt tool.
I mean, it's impeachment, but it is in Article 3. It's not a blank check for black-robed philosopher kings, okay? And it has been done in the past.
It's a very high bar, as it should be, just like impeachment for the president. How dare you say he should be impeached why why is it wrong for them to say you want to impeach the president is it wrong for people to call for impeachment because that's in the constitution you may not like it you may think that that's not the standard but it is not something that you come out and go, oh my gosh, how dare you?

You're saying, oh, I got to clutch my pearls.

I'm not even wearing pearls.

I wish I was transgender right now because I'd be having my strand of pearls that I can clutch. No, that's in the Constitution.
yet roberts in his indignation, clutching his pearls, crying out, this is a threat to judicial independence. Okay, okay, all right.
Okay, hang on. Now, it's not wrong to defend the appellate review process.
Usually these things come out when you're giving a talk to law students or something or something you'll say you know that's not the way it works etc etc but no no no no no no this was an official statement and he's spoken about this even eloquently at times about the proper you know the proper channels to correct judicial error 2018 he reminded us we don't have Obama judges or Trump judges or Bush judges or Clinton judges.

We just have a judge.

Well, yeah, okay, I wish that were true, but it's not C.

D.C. district judges.

But he's come out and said that, and that would be the right thing. I wish we didn't have those.
The system is designed so higher courts can sift through the lower ones, not for pitchforks and gavels to fly. Now, Trump is not, you know, parsing Mayberry versus Madison.
That's not what he was doing, okay? He's not like, you know, I'd like to make an intellectual case on this. He's like, I think this is impeachable.
So here's the president saying this and the judicial branch trying to muzzle him doesn't, I mean, I don't care, but free speech, it's not bent away from the commander in chief, is it? I mean, can the commander in chief can can the president have his point of view just like can John Roberts have his point of view?

John Roberts should have his own point of view based solely on the Constitution, and he should have the restraint to look impartial every step of the way. I wonder, can he be trusted to try anything, anything to review anything on Donald Trump? And let me make this case.
Trump thinks that justice justices that are overreaching by inventing rights or rewriting statues from the statutes from the bench. He thinks that that is impeachable.
OK, he has every right to say so. You know, the the framers didn't build a system where only judges can chime in on things but roberts seems to think that trump's words carry some i don't know hypnotic power that's going to frame america's view of the judiciary as a pinata for political whacking only donald trump can do that but he doesn't even own his own statement, a formal, deliberate, not some offhanded quip, framing Trump in this light as a, I don't know, a hypnotist.
I don't know, isn't there something to be seen here from the chief justice? I mean, he's not just scolding. He is signaling.
I'm the arbiter of propriety i'm the one that will tell what's right and what's wrong that is a power play dressed as principle how do i know that let me ask you this where was his righteous pin when did he say someone get me a quill when biden railed against the supreme court as out of control or a extremist court that maybe we should add two or three more justices until we get it right where was get me my quill i must clutch my pearls and write a missive out right now. Where was that? He didn't say anything about that.
He didn't say anything about that. And that one's a pretty well-established idea.
We don't do that. But if you want to just look at them as face value, I think one is stronger than the other, but if you want to just take it as even,

Trump said this,

and even though it's in the Constitution,

how dare you?

And the other that Biden did is not in the Constitution,

but you could read it any way you want if you'd like,

and only one of them gets in trouble from the Supreme Court? I mean, I don't understand. No statements.
Not a lecture. Nothing.
Apparently, the threat only comes from Donald Trump. Now, let me remind you, this is a guy who twisted him.
I mean, the guy, the guy was a pretzel with Obamacare. He was so twisted inside and out.
He changed Obamacare. He rewrote Obamacare out of a tax.
Or no, into a tax, right? Was it in tax or out of it? I can't remember one way or another. He said exact opposite of what the bill actually said.
Remember with Obamacare? He's like it. What he should have said was this isn't written correctly.
I'm sending it back to Congress. If they want it to be a tax, they can write it that way.
No, he didn't do that. He just said, yeah, I'm going to rewrite it.
That's not his job. I mean, he's a gymnast.
He bent over backwards in 2015, saying established by the state could mean federal government because, well, intent matters more than text.

Now, the text is pretty important, really kind of important, because if you get too far away from the people that actually said something, you know, and did something,

then you don't really know what their intent is.

I don't know.

I've read a lot of history books, and then I've read a lot of journals of those people that the history books were written about. They don't say the same thing.
This is a what he was doing, amending the Constitution from the bench is the biggest betrayal, constitutional betrayal of the first order. The Constitution, John, is not a suggestion.
It's a contract. Roberts of all people should know that.
So here we are, chief justice who wields his platform selectively, chastising a president for speaking his mind while the other presidents speaking their mind, saying things like, this is an extremist court. This is why we have to start all over again with the Supreme.
That's why you don't say anything about that guy. Hmm.
Hmm. Trump's call for the impeachment in the Constitution may be misguided.

I don't know. I kind of agree with it myself.
But when you look at the history of impeaching judges, it's the bar is super, super high. OK, and it should be just like the bar to impeach the president.
It should be super, super high. I think that this is impeachable, but I don't think you're going to make that case.

The real question is, is why does John Robert think his voice should drown out the rest?

Why does he think he is the one that should be heard on this?

I mean, if you're worried about framing, oh, this guy is, this guy's framing this, you know, all wrong and people are going to follow him what the hell are you doing maybe you should look in the mirror here john maybe it's just me but somehow i don't think it is here's what's coming we knew this because what was it a month ago? And do I have this in my show prep? I know I have it someplace today. You know, when you're looking at what's coming, we told you this because they told us this months ago that what they were going to do was activate all of these activist judges.
They were going to file suits. They were going to do everything they could.
Instead of stopping him in the streets, which didn't work, they're going to start trying to stop him in the court system. Well, that honestly, guys, you didn't really learn your lesson.
He's not stopped by the court system. I don't know.
You tried that before. But go ahead.
You're going to try it again. That's all that's happening.
happening this isn't about the truth this is about a group of desperate people who know they're being exposed right now why do you think they're so freaked out because they're being exposed it's over it's over you're not getting the cash from the people anymore you're not just gonna milk the system until all of us are just out of milk no it's over the game is over and so what do they have to do they have to do whatever they can well they can't put people on the streets because that didn't work out for them so now and they told us this just go just go after after Donald Trump in every possible way in the court.

Just get him tied up in the court.

Well, that sure tells you how much they love America, doesn't it?

Especially when you have somebody like Schumer saying, you know, just a few years ago, look, we all know there's waste. We all know there's fraud in the government and it has to be

it has to be stopped. Well, wait, then so we're stopping it and now you're not for that.
Hmm. What else is going on? And why is it that John Roberts is only speaking out against Trump and didn't say boo under Biden.

Is it possible that he wanted to, but he was afraid because the left were the ones that sent people to the justices house to kill the justices? And he knows the people on the right aren't that we're not that kind of people we don't do that we don't believe in that they do so john are you just a hypocrite that doesn't understand the constitution or are you a coward because those are the only two that i see as real possibilities back in just a second all right riddle riddle. What's shiny, timeless, and keeps your retirement

from vanishing into thin air when things get bad?

You're never going to figure it out.

Oh, crap.

Gold, you knew.

Not much of a riddle.

It's absolutely true.

Gold has stood for thousands and thousands.

It's in the Bible.

It's a barrier or it's resistant to things like inflation. It is wise to have maybe 10% of anything that you have invested invested in gold because the dollar could go away quickly.
You decide, but please do your homework on that. I recommend, as always, that

you do your homework, figure that out. Part of the homework for me is calling Lear Capital.

All right, before we get into JFK, let me give you an update. Last week, last Wednesday, a week ago on my TV special, we showed you exclusive leaked documents from behind NASA's Artemis moon mission.
It was a 99-page playbook. Thanks to brave whistleblowers that gave it to us, we exposed it last week.
If you saw this special, you learned that we we spent a hundred billion dollars of taxpayer money obsessing over how to make the next mission to mars you know into a massive dei propaganda operation complete with the heroes and the villains and you know partnerships with hollywood and coca-cola and nike even i'm not kidding Go back onto glenbeck.com and look this up. Even a theme park.
It sounds funny and absurd, but prioritizing woke crap over science and human safety, it could be a little dangerous. I don't know you.
So all of the best scientists, all of the best astronauts were were not the priority. You had to be a female and black, you know, or Dylan Mulvaney, I guess.
And if you wanted to be a trans or not, you could go up in in space. I guess it was nuts.
Well, we thought it was really odd that since President Trump took office and eliminated quote radical and wasteful government dei programs on day one this program had not been abolished and the nasa website describing the dei driven artemis mission was still active when whistleblowers reached out to us prior to blaze news and our tv investigation the reps the website nasa read with nasa's artemis campaign we are exploring the moon for scientific discovery technology advancement and to learn how to live and work on another world as we prepare for human missions to mars we will collaborate with commercial and international partners and establish the first long term presence on the moon. NASA will land the first woman, first person of color and first international partner astronaut on the moon using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before.
so my executive producer of the tv show uh ricky reached out to the office of management and budget

run by Russ Vogt and said, hey, I don't know if you saw this special. Are you aware of what's going on and why is this still on the NASA website? Is NASA still doing this? Are they resisting the Trump dictate?

Well, we sent them an email on Thursday.

That was the day after we broke the story.

And immediately after, it was gone.

Here's what was leaked to us. Under the Biden administration, NASA updated its mission, vowing to land a first woman and first person of color on the moon 2021 internal presentation slide deck obtained exclusively by blaze news and glenn tv revealed NASA's exhaustive marketing plans for Artemis a DEI driven mission the presentation explained NASA's plan to establish the Artemis brand.
It stated that the mission must inspire several audience segments, future supporters, the public, collaborators, and advocates. The list included BIPOC and individuals noting that Artemis should build mass appeal with and get to participate, especially underserved and underrepresentative groups.
Well, it appeared that some staff at NASA were still going down this road. As of 1.30, the very next day, or the day we sent it, it was still on the website.
Within an hour, we got a response. We're looking into this i'm sorry we didn't know about it next day the omb told us the artemis section on the nasa website had been doged and this happened because of brave whistleblowers and you nasa's artemis campaign we're exploring the moon now this is what it reads for scientific discovery technology and advancement and to learn how to live and work on another world as we prepare for human missions on Mars we will collaborate with commercial and international partners and establish the first long-term presence on the moon all that first you know woman person of color you know we're gonna you know what we're gonna have people from the congo in a space suit as well why why all of that is gone we can't do these investigations without you without your support um thank you thank you for everything that you do thank you for getting the news of this out last week join our moonshot mission to be the media company that actually makes a difference at blazetv.com slash Glenn.
That's blazetv.com slash Glenn. Tonight, I'm doing another special.
Tonight, it's about NATO and Ukraine. Why are we members of NATO? Should we be neighbors? How did this happen? What was NATO for? How did we get so deeply involved with one of one, if not the most corrupt countries in the world? When did that happen? And why in 2008 did we all of a sudden start to become really cozy friends? Why join me for all of the background tonight on Ukraine, Putin and my answer to the question, should Trump withdraw from NATO? That's tonight at 9 p.m.
Eastern on Blaze TV, tomorrow at 6 p.m. And that's on YouTube.com slash Glenn Beck.
I got a busy day today because I'm going out to a shooting range because we have the only gun that we know of that is an exact copy of the gun oswald used to kill president kennedy because it's a real weird hodgepodge of guns it was the one that killed kennedy um has a different scope on it very rare very hard to find i think it's might even be a russian school i can't remember the scope is from someplace someplace. There's parts of this gun.
They're from someplace else. And so we wanted to get, because we don't have the real gun, we wanted to get one just like it.
It took us two years to assemble this gun and to find all of the parts, so it's an exact copy of it. I'm going out to a shooting range today, and we're going to do our first test.
I've got some sharp shooters with me, and we'll post some of this on X as we do it live today. But then you'll be able to see all of it because we're going to another shooting range hopefully next week to get moving targets to see if they can make these shots.
But it should be interesting today. You can watch for it on X, and then that'll be next week as we go through everything that has been released on the JFK files, because it's going to take us a while.
Anybody who says, oh, I got it, they don't have any idea. 80,000 documents are being released.
So you know, well, Jason is here. He's our chief researcher for the TV show.
80,000 documents. How long would that have taken us to go through for staff? What do we have, eight people on it right now? Yeah.
How long without Grok or AI Assist, how long would that take us? We'd still be basically taping our eyelids open and still staring at it. We wouldn't even be close to attempting to be even, what, like a quarter of the way through it.

Okay.

So yesterday, describe the process.

What happened?

So they started releasing the documents.

Well, I thought they were going to be delayed, but they finally started coming through around like five or six central, something like that.

So we immediately went to work.

Initially, there was 113 pages of these documents, but on each different page, there was about 10 PDFs per page. And those PDFs had multiple pages within the PDFs.
So all in all, it was probably around 12 to 1300 pages of stuff. It was insane.
But to go through this now in the modern age, all we have to do is go through, download each little different PDF and start feeding that into whatever artificial intelligence program that you want to use. Right.
And then start, if you know the right prompts, you can start looking for things that are relevant, things that are new, things that contradict old disclosures. It was actually pretty amazing.
Yeah, so you know, we are, you know, one of the things that is very important to me

is the ethics contradict old disclosures. It was actually pretty amazing.
Yeah. So, so, you know, we are,

you know, one of the things that is very important to me is the ethics of using AI. And I don't know if a lot of people even care about it, but I do.
And my staff does deeply. We have had, I mean, we've had really heartfelt, you know, round after round of what's ethical, what's not ethical.
So, you know, we are not AI powered.

Our research team is not AI powered.

It is powered by people who use AI. And there is a big difference in that.
As you will start to see as days go by and more and more people just use AI to do all their thinking. We use it as a tool to go through to be able to do things we just couldn't do before.
80,000 documents, as you said, 1,200 documents last night. 80,000 will take us forever.
Just the 1,200 that we went through that was the first batch would have taken us weeks to go through. So it's a very big help.
But we also then go back and check everything. So let me go through some of the things that I know that were found yesterday.

You tell me also anything that I'm missing here on what was found. But there's a couple of things.
One document is a memo on a release passage from a political magazine, Ramparts, from 1967, about an intelligence agency, a CIA informant and former U.S. Army Captain John Garrett Underhill.
And he wrote, the day after the assassination, I'm sorry, the story wrote, the day after the assassination, Gary Underhill left Washington in a hurry. Late in the evening, he showed up at the home of a friend in New Jersey.
He was very agitated. The passage starts, a small click within the U.S.
was responsible for the assassination, he confided to his friend. He would be afraid, he was afraid for his life and probably would have to leave the country.
Less than six months later, he was found shot to death in his Washington apartment. Coroner ruled it a suicide.
The note was known, what was said, on intimate terms with a number of high-ranking CIA officials. The passage has been shared last night over and over again.

That's probably one of the bigger passages that came out

that was shared on X and everything else.

But people were like, it's already been released.

Yeah, but we didn't actually have the document,

another document that was making the rounds.

One line in the document stated that the KGB watched Oswald closely while he was in the USSR, but files indicated that Oswald was a poor shot when he tried target practice in the Soviet Union. Another detail released was a letter sent by a man in 1978.
He was a Soviet, and he made this comment to the british embassy he claimed that he was detained in london on july 18th 1963 and questioned by authorities he said that he told them about lee harvey oswald saying he planned to kill the president he added that he warned american vice counsel tom blackshear of the plans ofwald, who was trying to defect to Russia. Okay, so that's kind of a big deal.
But what does that say to you? So far, that just says, now hang on, if you're driving, I shouldn't say, I'm going to give you time to pull over because this is going to be a shock to you. You pull over? Okay.
What it says is our government is incompetent. I know.
Could have had a car wreck if I didn't tell you before you pulled over. I mean, that's what this is so far saying to me.
What are some of the other things that we found, Jason? You talked yesterday about what, there was like multiple different, like four different things that, like, you know, this is really about the what, not really the who. Right.
And I think that's pretty much spot on from what I'm seeing so far. Right now, there is no who.
There is no, okay, this is the person that pulled the trigger. There's no grassy knoll.
There's no deflection from the official Warren Commission report so far. But I will say that people that have been looking into this for a long time have identified like 10 to 15 or 20 documents that they really want to see that have been heavily redacted in the past.
And have not been released yet. Some of them have not been released.
Some of the stuff from last night have provided more context. Now, let me tell you, if you're a fan of the Cold War or just even like spy thrillers, you're going to like to read some of this stuff.
And I'm gonna put together some stuff

for our special next week,

some stuff that you can just read

on glenbeck.com or something.

If anything, this stuff is cool Cold War stuff.

Like, for instance, I'll throw out,

there was a, I've never heard about this before,

but there was a surveillance program in Havana, Cuba,

before the assassination that was a complete failure. Something happened where they were found out.
There were people arrested. Never heard about this before.
The CIA definitely did not want to get this out. This, I mean, this kind of- And so that had nothing to do with the JFK files, but it was filed in that.
Right. So I believe it was filed in that.
They're kind of building this case of, you know know these are the things that might have agitated cuba you know maybe if you're like searching for a lead that said okay maybe cuba through the soviet union was involved with the assassination these things might have tipped you know them off but i mean but there's a lot of that stuff that kind of links back you can tell the ci is doing their due diligence and they're looking for you know anything anything really that would point back okay hang on just a sec let me take one second uh to uh just tell you about relief factor and then back into the details of what has been found in the last you know 12 hours or so uh on the jfk documents for decades we have been sold a bill of goods that goes something like this have a problem here take this drug it's such a part of our culture now we barely even realize it anymore but challenge you, watch TV for an hour at any given time of the day and write how many drug ads you actually see during that time. How many? When did it become such a good idea for us to abandon natural treatment of things like pain in favor of taking drugs, which might alleviate the pain for a little bit, but often leave you feel groggy and really never addresses the actual problem.

That's a problem. It is a problem.

And when it comes to pain, it's usually inflammation in your body.

And that is something Relief Factor is excellent at helping your body defeat.

This is not a drug. It is a blend of natural ingredients developed by doctors.

And 70% of the people who order it, order it again and again.

10 seconds station ID. So John Greenwald of the Black Vault, which says they are the largest privately run online repository of declassified government documents, said the organization of these files is just, I mean, it's crazy.
You know, nothing is searchable, no bulk download like previous releases, no spreadsheet, nothing. It's just fire hose.
So you got to give everybody who's looking into this some time before, you know, we really understand what everything is. But what else did we find, Jason? So if you're looking at the what, if you're looking at what is the CIA involved with? Are they incompetent? Are they even operating legally? Now here's when the JFK files get interesting.
I wrote down a few notes, and we'll have more next week on our big show. We're taking – we were you know the first idea is hey they're going to come out maybe we should do a show and we're like wait let's let's take our time and take a breath and uh and do the show the following week because that way we'll have actually the information so we're just giving you bits and pieces now but next wednesday night is a full show on what's what's on JFK.
Now, how about this, just to get your interest? The description in full detail of CIA covert domestic operations ran out of multiple cities within the United States to include wiretap operations domestically, as well as media manipulation with them pushing out narratives the CIA specifically wants the media to push out. And all of their contacts at other media organizations.
You can read that right now. Tell me that does not happen today.
It does. This is why this is important, Glenn.
Yeah. To know.

This establishes a pattern of behavior.

And I'm not even done yet.

It talks about CIA partnerships with private companies.

Huh.

Private companies.

Public-private partnerships?

Sounds like that, actually.

Uh-huh.

They talk about a vast CIA network.

This is before the assassination that they were heavily invested in in Mexico City, which I thought was fascinating. And you can read about, you know, high value KGB assets that are getting stationed in Mexico City for some random reason.
Big time CIA operation going down in Mexico City. And that's how they were actually able to catch Oswald before the assassination when he went down to Mexico City to get a Cuban or a Soviet visa.
More in a second. This is Glenn Beck.
You know, if your dog is like Uno, I mean he's a bit of a food critic. You know? It's like if he had to have a pen in his hand and a piece of paper he'd be like, I don't know, today's meal was not just sits there like he's gordon ramsay you know at a mcdonald's looking at his bowl like looking up what are you trying to feed me here this is slop you bloody moron your dog may not be overly qualified to be a food critic but he's not wrong about the kibble food that we're putting into their bowls it's dead food they cook everything out of it you know, it will last for years on the shelves.

I was going to say, eats crap like, no, he actually eats crap. That's why.
There is a really easy thing to do to fix this. Change your dog's life.
Change your dog's food. And not really even change.

I don't know if you saw the splashdown yesterday. This happened last night.
Do we have... Go ahead and roll this.
And we're going to stand by for splashdown located in the Gulf of America. Yeah, but they're never in space.
Off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida. That's a movie set.
It looks incredible. It looks like it could be the Truman Show.
And Splashdown, Crew 9, back on Earth. I don't know what's wrong with me lately.
This is so weird. I don't know what's happening to me.
But I see things like this, and I'm like getting weepy again all the time. You know, like I was back.
I'm getting weepy again. I see things like this, and it just moves me.
I feel the same way at Taco Bell. Right? Right? No, that's a movement.
Oh, okay. It's different.
Different. Because that moves me too in a completely different way.
But I just see things like that, and it's so inspiring what we can do, and especially when you look at it, what we were doing. I mean, the moonshot, we decided to go to the moon.
We decided that long ago. And it is the president's job to make sure that everything is moving in that direction.
You don't want to go to the moon. You don't want to go to space.
Then stop it. But if you're going to put people in space, you can't just leave them there.
No no you know the president biden just left them there like i don't want it to look bad for me maybe everybody will forget they're in space is that was the plan and he just and here's the big huge government with the big huge budgets from big huge boeing they send up and i said don't send the. You remember? Don't send that rocket up.
Don't do it. It's not going to work.
And if it does, good luck coming home in that thing. And then it docked, and they were like, we had some problems with it.
And they were saying to the astronauts, don't get back into that thing. There's no way you're returning to Earth in that.
Don't do it they didn't so uh biden just leaves them and elon musk is like i can go up and get them at any time and president biden says no because he thinks it will look good for biden i mean for uh uh for musk not good for biden he's just like leave him alone this president the reason why i think so many people had a problem with joe biden even if they liked his policies some of them even if they say well he's a democrat and i'm a democrat i think the reason why so many people you know just jump ship on Biden was he violated something that is in all of us.

And that's honor you know the basic honor i mean not like you know what i'm a boy i mean just like the the bare minimum honor of americans we don't leave people behind he did it in afghanistan and then he did it in space and when you see that you're like oh my gosh that is that's not us what is that and i think that's why biden rubbed so many democrats the wrong way they may not be able to vocalize it but i think that's one of the reasons he had no honor in him at all i think zero zero zero and uh i mean luckily the american people were able to suss that out a little bit but i i do relate to how you feel about watching something like that it's it's so fascinating that the entire or half the country has at least turned on elon musk a guy who's doing all these incredible things he is you know what it is it's the same thing that happened to Nikolai Tesla. Okay, the power structure turned on Nikolai Tesla.
The greatest mind of the 20th century. I mean, makes Edison look like a rookie.
Makes him look like me. I mean, and the country turned on him because of the establishment and we're doing the same thing with elon musk what is wrong with us it's funny because you you hear that thing that happened a lot around the election with democrats complaining about why they lost and they said like well what we need is a left-wing joe rogan and as many pointed out you had one his name was joe rogan He was supporting bernie freaking sanders in 2016 we did somebody we need somebody like elon musk you had him had him his name was elon musk you had a left wing elon musk and what was fascinating and this is something we can absolutely prove i don't have to speculate on this when he was left wing elon musk when he was a guy who was out there talking about how we were all going to die from climate change which by the way he still believes yeah we were still able to to look on in amazement at the things he was achieving yes including tesla and its very early stages which we featured on the cnn headline news show a That's a billion years ago.
Right. We actually, at least conservative, let's just speak for us, at least we the whole time are like, I don't believe in the climate change stuff.
That's crazy. But look at what he's doing.
Look at how he's doing. Look at how he is making all of this public.
He's not trademarking or patenting anything. He's saying it should be open for everybody take my my ideas and build on them we love that about him you know you know how crazy it is i still think there's a chance he turns into the antichrist so i'm like i really like him might be the antichrist we should keep keep remain aware of of that but i like him these guys treat him like the antichrist and they don't even believe in the antichrist that's true he's crazy it's true it's not it doesn't make any sense and now they're going dealership to dealership and lighting his uh his you know tesla's on fire right um this is it is that is economic domestic terrorism that's what it is and pam bondy i'm glad to see yeah she called it out and i'm glad and i want to see these people prosecuted that's economic terrorism period i don't like the mainstream media you should arrest me if i ever just you know, we should do.
We should all gather torches and we should burn those places to the ground. No.
No. No, that's terrorism.
But it's also, you know, the way the left acts every single time they don't get what they want. Every time.
I might remind you of George Floyd. Yeah.
When they were upset about George Floyd, what'd they do? Burn down cities. Yeah.
What about Alf and Elf? Not Alf, the lovable, huggable alien creature. I was going to say, Alf and Elf, what did they do wrong? They're both, I mean, who needs a hug? Not Will Ferrell.
I'm talking about the animal liberation front and the environmental liberation front. Horrible.
Terrorist organizations that went around and burned down dealerships of SUVs because the environment's so important. And by the way.
It's an interesting way to approach it. Do you know why SUVs exist? I do, yes.
I just, I was talking to a liberal friend and As close as you can be to a liberal friend. Sure.
And they were like, these big SUVs. Do you know why SUVs exist? Because you didn't like station wagons.
You didn't like big, huge sedans. And so you were like, you know, the EPA, I should start regulating those things.
And you put that regulation in. what wasn't covered trucks and so they were like we'll just build it on the platform of a truck and call it a suv that put the station wagons and the big sedans out and now you have a bigger vehicle that's how stupid you are as as somebody who believes in big government can, no, government cannot regulate everything.
It only makes things worse. Yeah.
And we should also add in when they did those fuel mileage standards, there's two ways to approach it to hit the standards. One was to convert a bunch of bigger sedans and station wagons into SUVs.
So you had bigger, even bigger, bigger vehicles on the road. The other way was to take your cars and to make them lighter and smaller so when those two things collide guess what happens to people oh i saw somebody i mean it literally killed thousands and thousands and thousands of people in car accidents who was it who was the politician that i saw yesterday they got rid of their huge lefty okay green thing got rid of their tesla and was proud to be driving like an excursion i bought two of these things like wow that's good that's good by the way before we before we move on i've gotta i've gotta just go back to the space thing yeah because did you see what one of the astronauts did astronauts did before they came back to Earth? Do we have this audio? Listen to this.
What is your life lesson or takeaway from these nine months in space? Well, in answer to your question, I can tell you honestly, my feeling on all of this goes back to my faith. It's bound in my Lord and Savior, Jesusesus christ he is working out his plan and his purposes for his glory throughout all of humanity and how that plays into our lives is significant and important and however that plays out and i am content because i understand that i understand that he's at work in all things some things are for the good go to hebrews chapter 11 some things look to us to be not so good but it's all working out for his good for those that uh that will believe and that and that's that's the answer so thanks for asking that's a scientist in space and i didn't see that headline anywhere and i just would like to say i think that's what happens when you fly on a boeing you're like all right jesus you're there right i mean i gotta have some perspective okay so if i burn up on re-entry it's gonna be good right that's what he was saying is you know what my faith it just tells me you know uh Boeing could kill me but I guess it's all gonna work out to be the best that's pretty much what he was saying there I think that's true I think too uh Glenn as you tell me if this has happened with you but as you get older that sentiment becomes much much more true yes like like perspective things seem so out of control sometimes.
And then when you really put yourself in the mindset, which he was just describing, that it's like, yeah, you know what? It's not really in my hands. And things happen for these reasons that I believe in and they're important and I can't control all of them.
And I'll do the best I can and get through all of this. It makes life a heck of a lot easier.
I mean, just pragmatically, outside of the faith elements of it, it makes your life better. It just does, because you don't freak out about every little thing.
Like, I can't tell you how many times, you know, I sit there in church and they're talking about these, you know, these important concepts and, you know, thoughts under your mind of like the chaos of the world. And when you think about it that way you're just like the chaos of the world who cares about the chaos of the world like well i care about it i care about it but i care about it in a totally different way that you're like it's going to be interesting to see how it all works out i see that we we talk about that phrase all the time it is so important but it's hard to do.
I have to tell you, my daughter, she just had her first real adult career decision to make. She's in this, this production and she has been working on it for months and months and months with her cast.
And she was also just cast in a movie,

a Hallmark movie for Christmas.

Oh, cool.

And so they conflicted,

and she didn't know how she was going to work this out.

And I'm going back to this place that I used to be in,

which is a horrible place where I cannot sleep ever.

And so I was up at 2 o'clock in the morning, and she gets up to get a drink of water something and i said you okay honey and she said uh yeah and she sat down and we just started talking and she said it's so hard dad i i just i mean i just i mean what is the right decision how do i do this and i i don't want to do this because I'm letting some people down either way and everything. And man, it takes so much for a man, at least for me, just to shut up.
Because everything in me was like, well, here's what you do, honey. There's nobody.
Right. And that's the worst thing you could.
And so I was just sitting there going, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And all the time I'm thinking, you know what? Just, and this is what I finally said after she talked, but it was like, just do the right thing.
Just do the next right thing. Everything works out.
But it's hard, especially when you're young, because you think I have to micromanage. I have to make the right decision.
Because if I don't, you know, it'll play out this way. It'll play out that way.
And what's it? You don't know how it's going to play out. Just make the right decision because if I don't, you know, it'll play out this way,

it'll play out that way. And what's it? You don't know how it's going to play out.
Just do the right thing, whatever it is, just do the next right thing. And it will work out.
And shockingly, not the way you intended, but better than what you thought could be your best outcome and i just think that takes a lot of years of trying to force your way. I'm going to make sure it happens this way.
And it always failing. I think it just takes a lot of time.
I hope if you happen to be listening and you haven't gotten this yet, really trust Stuart. Don't force your way.
It just doesn't't work it's never a happy ending never a happy end you can't control everything no just now nor are you supposed to right you're supposed to surrender right to the next right thing not to surrender to oh he's the antichrist whatever no not surrender on those things surrender to the next right thing and let the consequences happen because you'll find over time oh my gosh i can't believe how that worked out in in my favor or in life's favor for me and that's what the astronaut was saying all right back in just a second uh boy if you've ever found yourself feeling like a zombie i mean, I looked at my wife and I'm like, how much of the Z factor do you think I can take? And she's like, not the whole bottle, sweetheart. I just have this weird thing, and it happened to me while I was in New York.
And you don't usually complain when you can work and work and work and work and sleep like two, three hours a night, except that caused me all kinds of problems. See my other

relief factor commercials about pain, but I haven't been able to sleep. I just haven't been able to do it.
And it's really not good. I don't know how to do it, but one thing that has helped me, well, until I guess my adrenal glands just started exploding again, is Z-Factor.
Z-Factor can help you relax and turn yourself off. Last night, last two nights, I actually got, you know, like six hours of sleep, which is a really good thing.
Z-Factor played a role in that, but I also had to, you know, discipline myself.

Nothing.

No screen light after six o'clock.

1995.

It's a 30-day supply.

Z-Factor.

Try it.

If you can't sleep, this will help.

Z-Factor.

Sweet vindication. Today I come to you as a very humble man.
See, I told you I was right. 16 years ago, 16 years ago, I said something and everybody made fun.
I mean, my hair was blonde at the time when I made this statement. Now it's pure white and I can tell you, hey, I told you so.
I read a story and I'm like

oh you gotta be kidding.

And people made fun. I think this was a bit

Okay. Let me take you back 16 years ago and show you a segment that if you're watching on Blaze TV, you might remember if you happen to be watching this particular episode.
Late 2008, 2000, early 2009. Here's what I in with my blonde hair.
Here's what I did. Listen, you remember when Barack Obama was on the campaign trail and said, oh, I'm going to have a I'm going to have an army of people in America and there'll be better finance than, you know, than the military.
And I thought to myself, what? What? Who is he talking about? I think AmeriCorps is part of that army. And they, you know, I got the pledge and I was going to read it to you, but I thought, you know, I can't really read it to you, you know, sitting here like this.
I mean, to really go for it. I mean, you really do the AmeriCorps pledge.
I think you have to be dressed like this. I think you have to stand up and take your pledge.
I will get things done for America to make our people safer and smarter and healthier. I will bring Americans together to strengthen our communities.
Faced with apathy, I will take action. Faced with conflict, I will seek common ground.
Faced with adversity, I will persevere. I will carry this commitment with me this year and beyond.
I am an AmeriCorps member, and I will get things done. Edelweiss, Edelweiss.
Classic. It's one of my favorite all-time things that I did at fox uh just because i had such an amazing staff and you're in new york i literally 45 minutes before the show i said somebody go get me lederhosen yep okay and the then the question back was what size i don't know where do we get it super large super large so anyway so like a couple of

days later because i mean it was saturday night live everybody was making fun of that particular clip this guy's crazy is weak just just just to focus back in the 2009 criticism for one second you're making a joke

like

coming up and saying hey

it's ridiculous that this guy's dressed in lederhosen is your joke they're just saying the same thing as your joke that's not a criticism no it's such a weak weak attempt of like hey what if we pull this out of the out of context and make him look like he's just a crazy person who's decided to wear lederhosen

today.

No, the joke was how insane it was for you to wear lederhosen.

Listen, listen, listen, listen.

It's been 16 years.

I'm still annoyed.

Listen how passionate he is and listen how passionate I am.

See, I told you.

He was such a hard time, such a time period.

Every day we'd be like, what the hell are they doing?

What are they saying?

How is this happening?

But anyway, we're older.

We're wiser.

We're beyond.

We've let it go, Jesus, haven't we?

So Bill O'Reilly, who was such a good friend to me and one of the only honest people in my career on national television, he said to me, Glenn, come on to my show. I'm going to ask tough questions.
You can ask and answer. I'm not going to sandbag you, but that way you can get your point out on what the hell you were doing.
And he's like, I may not agree with you, least it'll be an honest conversation so he calls me up and he's like he saw that and then he started seeing the media just feast like sharks and he's like might be might be a time that you might want to come on the uh on the no spin zone so i did now listen to what happened on the no spin zone a few days later why the german outfit why the edelweiss why this is america yeah i don't know i just what is the sound of music what is the alpine don't you love the alps i love i just got back from the alps yeah i just you know i think it's about time that um we used ridicule in this in this country i think i think who were you ridiculing the germans the americorps people well partly me or your knees yeah partly me a big part of me okay i think this whole idea of americorps and which would will eventually uh if ram emmanuel gets his way will be required service from 18 to 24 year olds like they have in switzerland you gotta join some kind of thing. That's fantastic.
You've got to do it. That's fantastic.
But I'll pledge to change the world. I'm a AmeriCorps member.
AmeriCorps is just a bunch of kids volunteering to do good things. Volunteer.
There's a difference between a volunteer and a draft. No, we don't have that yet.
Yet. Thank you.
Thank you for using that. But it's always about what's around a corner with you.
Just say we don't get it. Just say we don't get it.

You don't get it.

It's AmeriCorps. You volunteer to help your community or another community.

I did that in college.

I went to Kentucky and DeBorea and helped the poor people.

I've never had a problem with AmeriCorps.

Okay, nobody forced me to wear short pants, but I went and it was good.

So I don't know what you...

I want to know when you're in AmeriCorps.

Well, you know, are you going to get... Because we're going to make them.

Do they get little badges?

Do they get like this badge I got for harassing a bank?

What's wrong with that?

What is wrong with a bunch of people

signing up to help other people?

Because you've got a community organizer

as President of the United States.

Oh, so he is...

Just because it's his idea, he didn't like it?

No!

Just because we are being infested. country is is having framework built around it there's an exoskeleton built around our uh republic skeleton yes wow does it have lederhosen i think and this is very easy to do but i think he's making fun of me so so we had this conversation all right and it was a good conversation but notice

what he's saying hey glad none of this is going to happen yeah first of all they said they wanted it to be mandatory at some point but that wasn't even the main crux of the issue it was going to be framework it is indoctrinating people. Now, may I give you the story today? Training programs to enter AmeriCorps has been indoctrinating participants into having an anti-American worldview.
As many as 200,000 individuals each year answer this noble call to participate in America's national service program, AmeriCorps, serving as members and volunteers across its very community service offshoots, only to be put through training modules that poison the very spirit of our nation. Training programs to enter AmeriCorps have been explicitly teaching participants diversity, equity, and inclusion concepts that indoctrinate them in having an anti-American worldview.
One that believes that the systems and institutions of our country were designed in such a ways to benefit some and disadvantage others. AmeriCorps partners, such as public allies, teach the core members that it is insufficient to be not racist or against racism.
They might maybe must become anti-racist, blah, blah, blah. It goes on to the whole.
That's what I was talking about. This whole thing is just like.
So let's just remember what today's conspiracy theories that all the left mocks and makes fun of tends to be, in this case, not tomorrow's, but 16 years of tomorrow's to be accurate. Let's stop giving our government.
And this is what our founders said. This is not anti-government.
It is not anti-establishment. It is not anti-American.
Our founders said, don't trust the government with power. They will do things to concentrate that power so it will never escape their grimy little hands.
Chuck Schumer was on yesterday on The View with the ramblings of a madman listen to this and you know what their attitude is i made my money all by myself how dare your government take my money from me i don't want to pay taxes or i built my company with my bare hands how dare your government tell me how i should treat my customers yeah my um the land land and water that I own, or my employees? They hate government. Government's a barrier to people, a barrier to stop them from doing things.
They want to destroy it. We are not letting them do it, and we're united.
Notice there's no applause during that rant. Notice there is no applause during that rant that should tell you something chucky even the view people are like i mean unless whoopee tells us and they put this applause sign on i don't think i can applaud for that first of all they tell you they tell, I'm not going to pay taxes to your government.

No, it's my government. It's my government.
It's your government. And yeah, you know, I don't remember the government up at night, worrying, crunching numbers, thinking, how am I going to make it? I don't remember any government agency that was like, you know what, Glenn, you're working hard.
Let me come in there and help you. I do remember all of the times that I've tried to do something and the government steps in and goes no no I'm gonna make it harder now you need an attorney to do this now you need another accountant to do this and you're like well I can't do it if you keep bleeding me dry so yeah Chuck I do have a problem with the government coming in and telling me exactly how I need to run my company.

I am. I'm a disruptor.

That's what America has always been.

America is the global disruptor.

And you don't have attorneys or politicians that are helping disruption.

That's how innovation happens.

And attorneys are paid to say, no.

Hey, do you think I could?

No.

But I mean, I think no.

Okay, well, thanks for your help.

That's what the government does.

Hey, what do you think?

Could we?

No.

Okay, well, I guess I'll just sit here and do it like everybody else does and then you become europe we're not europe if you want to be europe that's fine we're america we are different i know that the left wants us to be more like europe except when we say hey we shouldn't be mutilating our children. Then you got to be America.
Lead the way. You got to be a disruptor.
We should absolutely be able to mutilate children. What? Okay, well, thanks for the consistency.
I don't have a problem with paying taxes. I do.
You know what his point was on this? Why was he saying this? Because of Doge. Because Doge is cutting all of this stuff out and saying, this is a waste of money.
Who could possibly make an honest case in favor of the waste of your tax dollars? This is how, see, they see everything as a collective. Everything is a collective to them.
They don't actually see the hours that you work. They don't see the second job that you work.
They don't see you at the end of the month or in the middle of the month trying to pay your rent or your mortgage saying, I can't do it. I don't know how to do it.
They don't see the fact that you can't pay your bills, but you know that you'll go to jail if you don't pay them first. Quite honestly, the government should be the last thing that I should worry about paying.
Not the first thing. God should be the first thing.
My tithing should be the first thing. I i'm paying that no matter what they expect you to pay over tithing over everything else they expect you to pay them first there's no questions asked there's no there is no hey guys can you just let up on me for what can we work this out no pay it okay all right okay that's the way taxes are, I guess.
But then on top of it, you then insult me by wasting it, by spending it in ways that I find absolutely abhorrent. And then when we find out about it, you mock me for saying, I don't want to pay my taxes if that's the way you're going to spend it.
And none of us right now, I'm very close, none of us right now are actually saying, I won't pay my taxes. If that's the way you're going to spend it, I'm not going to pay.
I'm going to pay my taxes. But you mock me for even saying, look at the waste.

But if I can't pay my taxes, if I can't pay them, you don't care.

You don't care.

Your IRS people will say, well, you should have not paid something else.

Oh, okay.

But I couldn't take you out of that loop. And when you can't make your budget, you just print more money, which you then add to my bill.
It's the most reprehensible system of all time. It's charity with a gun, which doesn't make that charity.
Anytime a gun or jail is involved, it ceases to be charity or a public duty or an honor to be involved. You're involved, honestly.
You believe in this so much? Let's make every politician for a year. Let's tell them we're going to do it for five years.
let's just do it just do it for a year you don't have to pay any taxes you don't have to pay any taxes you're a government service guy how many of them would volunteer to pay tax no no no no no i'm making this money i'm going to pay for it because it's the right thing they would not do it and if they said that to us how many of us would do it that's why they have to have the gun now for instance we've been talking about let me take a break i gotta come back to this remind me of greenland and and oil in canada uh anyway uh first let me tell you about real estate agents i trust if you've ever tried browsing you know uh real estate options for yourself it starts out enjoyable you're like oh that's kind of and then you know you look at these homes you're like that's my dream home and then soon you start to realize there's a whole lot more about these places that you don't know uh than what you do know and you start realizing wow i'm gonna really need a good negotiator on that and that cozy dream home might just turn out to be the biggest money pit you could ever find you don't know what you don know. That means if you're really thinking about moving, you need a real estate agent and not just any agent, but an expert.
Somebody who really knows the ins and outs, knows the best practices, knows your area. You need somebody like the type of agent that my company works with.

on all these parameters that we set out that are the best business practices. So you're going to

like these people and they're going to get the job done for you. realestateagentsitrust.com.

That's realestateagentsitrust.com. 10 seconds.
Station ID. station id okay let me ask you something if they said to you okay we're just gonna we're gonna make some big big investments on some things we're gonna for instance we're going to buy up the oil for the next 10 years it's going to cost us a trillion dollars but we're going to spend that trillion dollars and guaranteeing the oil all of that oil from canada is ours okay we're not gonna we're not we're gonna negotiate a really good price but we're not taking it from anybody whatever we're going to invest a trillion dollars and that means our oil prices for the next 10 years will be really low and in those 10 years we're also developing our oil so we're getting a cheaper oil immediately and we're developing our own resources so we can be fully independent and the supplier for the rest of the world good investment if they said to you we're going to give a trillion dollars to greenland we're not going to take over greenland or anything else but we are going to ask them for the upper part of greenland that we can fully own and operate so we have control over the uh the space over the uh arctic circle and in over top of the arctic circle into.
We need that just for missile defense, etc., etc. And with that trillion dollars, we're also buying all of their rare earth minerals, which would make us the leader in chips and development for everything.
Oh, and we're going to take a trillion dollars and we're going to build quickly the best network of nuclear power plants so we don't have to worry about energy anymore. If they gave me three trillion dollars and that was what was on the menu, I'd say I'll happily pay my taxes for that.
Happily. But they're spending three3 trillion too much.
And what do we have to show for it? There's no investment in it. This is Glenn Beck.
If you're a farmer, you know that you're looking to plant stable, high-yield crops. You don't want something that's going to die on the vine with the first storm.
You don't want something that's not going to produce well when harvest time comes by. Well, that's good common sense if you're a farmer.
When it comes to protecting your wealth that you've built throughout the entire course of your life, it's the same as when you're planting apples. You need something in place to counter inflation, something that will only appreciate over time.
You're planting that seed. You will give you apples when you need those apples.
Same thing with gold. When you need your money and everything else has failed, you've got that plant that just keeps giving you the money out of it.

We haven't invested in anything.
Solyndra, we haven't invested in anything real. The government cannot pick winners and losers.
The government can make things available that the average company, whatever, cannot do.

For instance, we bought Alaska.

What a great investment that was. But we don't look at Alaska like an investment.
Okay? Right. They won't let us use anything in Alaska.
Okay, well, then it's not an investment. But if you were going to go $3 trillion over budget, I would have a much harder time making the case that's insane.
We should not be spending all this money. I'm not paying my taxes.
If you were coming and saying to me, Glenn, here's what we're spending our $3 trillion on. We're spending it on a trillion dollars over the next 10 years for all of it.
We're making a contract with Canada, 10-year contract. We're buying all of their oil for the next 10 years, which will make us oil rich.
We already are, but oil rich, make Canada beholden to us really because we have to. we we have extra juice in negotiating different terms uh second we know that whoever controls the supercomputer chips and the making of those that is the country that is going to rule the world with ai we must have rare earth minerals so let's spend a trillion i don't think we have to do this we just use the ones we.
So let's spend a trillion. I don't think we have to do this.
We just use the ones we have. But let's make a trillion dollar deal to buy all of the rare earth minerals and enough land to do everything that we need to to protect ourselves in Greenland.
Okay. Not going in taking over trillion dollars.
Then I want to take a trillion dollars because we also know cheap energy. We have to have cheap energy to be able to run the supercomputers and AI of the future.
The only way to create this much energy is with the world's cleanest energy, and that's nuclear power. So we're going to take a trillion dollars and build those plants.
Now, I don't want to do that. I think private industry should do all of those things and the government should get off our backs on everything.
So we can do those. But if you're going to spend it, I would have a really hard time as a conservative saying that's a waste of money because it's not.
What is a waste of money is all what we spent. five trillion dollars this year five trillion dollars can you tell me what huge investment what do we have that we went yeah but we have this in our ledger now right like going into debt i've been in debt in my life i know you have as well going into debt for you know some trip to vegas is different than going into debt for a car or home there is there's healthy debt you can have debt if it's not like it's stupid to go into debt for a car unless you have to have a car there's no other way to do it but to to go into debt to have a car if you could afford to pay for the, or you just wanted an extra car, that's stupid because that's a depreciating asset.
If the government, that's all the government buys is depreciating assets. We need things that appreciate.
That's why, I mean, that's why we have gold or used to have gold. It's an appreciating asset.
It's something in the ledger that we go, we go yes but we have this and this can be used over a long period of time to accomplish growth in our country did you see the polk painting that donald trump put up james k polk yeah yeah he uh why did he do that stew well i mean i don't know for sure but i i will say that Trump does have an affinity, I would say, for a time when America was expanding. And he sees that as a real positive.
You see him talking about Greenland. You see him talking, I mean, at some level, Canada, though I don't think that's necessarily serious.
Panama. Panama is another.
I think he sees that as when he talks about the golden age of America. I think the expansion of America is something he sees favorably.
So what did Polk do? He expanded the country more than any other president. Okay, so he's asked for a painting of Jefferson to be removed and replaced with a painting of James K.
Polk. Exactly the way I read it, too.
I don't know, but that's exactly the way I read it. He was an expansionist president.
That again is, I mean, I don't want the government spending all this money. I don't want the government doing all of this.
I want the government to get out of the way of the American people so we can do these things. However, if you're going to, this is the New York real estate developer liberal that Donald Trump is.
And I have a hard time going, well, I don't want that guy. Because this is a guy who sees the government as things that we have to do.
And he thinks expanding into rare earth minerals, oil, protection, etc. like that.
He sees that as important. I do too.
I don't want to spend all that money doing it, but he knows if you're in debt, it's okay. Have you ever gone to buy a car or a house because you knew you had a raise coming and hopefully it worked out for you, but you had a raise coming.
You're like, honey, we can't afford this now. But by the time this happens, we're going to get a raise.
And so we'll be able to afford this, yada, yada, yada. That's what he's thinking about now.
Yes, we can spend this money, but it's going to allow us to make more money. We can grow the economy.
There's no way to pay this debt down. There's out.
We will never pay this off. He believes, as I do, the way to pay off a debt is to make more money.
Well, you know what your ability to do that is? You have to take a second job. America says, let's bring different jobs back.
Let's lead the world in different ways. You know, the only differences between him and Barack Obama, one is like, we're going to make solar panels.
And I got a bunch of friends who said they can do it. That's the Barack Obama, Joe Biden way.
Donald Trump is like, no, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to make sure we have the energy.
I'm going to make sure that we have the rare earth minerals. I'm going to make sure we have the security.
So then others can go and use those things to build. Which is a much better approach.
Much better approach. We just did a show on the Ivanpah solar farm.
I don't even know about that. Are you going to make me cry? It's another Solyndra type of thing.
It was the one where they built a giant tower in the middle and all the mirrors around it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it would focus the sun to the central tower, would boil water, create all the solar power. Shockingly shutting down.
Huh. Didn't work.
Didn't work out all that well, unfortunately, for everyone who invested in that. I mean, who would have known that? Who would have seen that coming? Who would have seen it coming? I mean, besides everyone who's ever used solar panels yes uh are you familiar with the book abundance this uh no book it came out this week um i've only read i'm in that phase where i think you have the same phase where like you hear about a book and then you start reading about the book and you start listening to interviews about the book and then you decide to read the book yeah so i'm in that phase i haven't like actually read the book yet but i've read about the book what is it again it's called abundance it's uh written by uh thompson derrick thompson yes yep derrick thompson who i find to be like the most interesting liberal um it's you know because i feel like in the olden days glenn back in the day like you could act like while i was not a, I would never agree with a lot of the things that liberals said, there were times where people would go on television, have conversations, and it would make you think.

It would be interesting, even if you didn't agree with it at the end. If I'm not mistaken, he kind of makes the, when he's speaking about stuff, I disagree with him.
But all of a sudden in my my mind i hear danger will robinson danger no will robinson yes yes you're like as a conservative he's like that's a really good point i don't know how to combat that one yeah or at least i have a good it's a good plan at least it's reasonable may not be constitutional in my view or the way i want the government to run right like and that's what's interesting about this particular approach his it's basically a critique of the modern democratic party and like you know back in the day like i feel like now most of the stuff we hear from the left is like joy reed which you never she never makes you think it's the dumbest thing you've ever heard in your life it's aoc so easy to dismiss you never listen to them and go well that's a pretty good point and so derrick thompson's not like that like he says things that i think are interesting even though i largely disagree with right anyway so his viewpoint here is is the democrats should adopt an abundance platform and like his critique of it is you know expansive uh of what the democrats have done the Democrats have done. But like, if you think about like, Hey, uh, we should have all these environmental restrictions so that you never get to use, uh, you know, really cool TV sets and you don't, your car kind of sucks and all that stuff.
Instead of doing that, he wants to be the party of building things. And his theory is right.
He was critiquinging the, I think it was Chicago, where they said they were going to spend, they were bragging that they spent $11 billion on affordable housing. We have now 10,000 units where people can go and they can get affordable housing.
For how much? For $11 billion. Okay.
The brag was, we spent $11 billion. That's the brag.
And as as he points out that's 1.1 million dollars per affordable housing unit not good right like you know and like and i and a depreciating asset and a depreciating depreciating asset he also pointed out like hey as liberals we should be able to point to california which has a democratic governor and every statewide elected official being a Democrat. We should be able to point to that and say, hey, we're Democrats.
We will turn America into California. That should be something they should say.
Instead, the truth is their opponents, us conservatives, say if you elect them, they'll turn America into California. If you reverse that, we do say that on the right.
We say, hey, elect us, we'll turn America into Florida. We'll turn America into Texas.
That's a compliment. So his theory is doing things like turning this, you know, America into a party, the Democrats into a party that are building things.
So like, instead hey we need to restrict restrict restrict we need to build more housing units in these communities now he sees it as a thing that the government should be doing i don't but i am concerned yeah of the american people's response i am yes thank you it seems to me to be something that voters might buy into, even though I ideologically disagree with it for a million different reasons. So government can never be efficient.
It will never, ever, ever be efficient. He's arguing that they can.
Well, they can. I've never seen it.
So, you know, I won't go down your dream world with you. I mean, that's insane.
You know, we've got years and years and years and years of showing you it's not efficient. Even the best thing they do, I mean, the most competent thing they do is kill people.
They are good at that. They're good at that.
You think that the Pentagon is efficient? Because I don't. They're effective, but they're not efficient.
And the only reason why we accept that is because we don't want the private sector because like hey we got a business what's your business i kill people right okay that's a problem all right we don't want anybody but the government to have that kind of juice and power but they're not efficient at it um and and that's the only argument on that but if you started to say what are the what are the base products what are the what is the bare minimum things that others can take you know this is the this is the the the uh the roads and bridges argument that they always well you need somebody to build the roads and bridges yeah we have the state to do that what why are why are you making that case as a federal government guy because the state does does that okay uh the roads and bridges is a really good thing okay we can't as private citizens necessarily we haven't thought it through enough or found a way we haven't we haven't we could but we haven't thought that way in so long nobody's come up with a real you know solution well we'd find one okay they need roads and bridges. That gets us to and fro work.
Okay, that's a commodity we all use. So if you're going to say, I'm going to spend money, and especially at the waste level, cut all of that waste, and I would have a harder time with you spending my money if you were buying assets.
If we had assets, if we had things, look, I have all the rare minerals you need.

What do you need for rare minerals?

We have them.

You don't have to go to China.

You have them here.

That's a good thing.

That's an investment.

But the Democrats look, and so do the Republicans, honestly.

They look at investments like, you know, we need an F421. Well, that's a diminishing asset as well.
Can they understand the difference between diminishing assets and an appreciating asset? The answer is no, they can't. Why? Because they're government.
That's why. Back in just a second.
Okay, the ceasefire with Hamas is off again. Battle has resumed.
By the way, I heard an update. I haven't even had the chance to read it.
We have a possible ceasefire with Ukraine and Putin. I mean, it's on the track at least.
They're at least talking about it, which is good. That's good.
Yeah. If you take a look at the news over in the Middle East, you're probably going to hear about all the damage that the IDF is doing to the Palestinian people.
What you're less likely to hear about is all the devastation the Jews in Israel have suffered over the past year and a half, including the beginning of all of this mess. When Hamas came in and just slaughtered men, women and children and we're raping children.
You know, that's always a positive thing. I don't know.
I just say that's one of those things you just shouldn't ever stop talking about. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground in Israel, supporting the people who need it, both financially and emotionally.
They're building bomb shelters, feeding the hungry, housing homeless, and a whole lot more. What they're doing is they're showing God's love to the people of Israel, our spiritual brothers and sisters, and they can't do it alone.
If we want the government to do less, we have to do more. So bless Israel and show God's love to our people today.
Just go to supportifcj.org. That's one word, supportifcj.org.

You know, the left's got a road map.

Straight off a cliff.

Let's take the right trail.

Glenn Beck returns shortly. you know if you're going to make fun of donald trump on something at least have your facts straight.
He took the Declaration of Independence.

He's hanging it on the wall of the White House,

and now the little school children can't say,

it's not the Declaration of Independence.

It's not that one.

This is a broad side of it.

I mean, it's cool.

I mean, wouldn't it be cool to be a president where you're just like,

give me the Declaration of Independence.

Put it up over there.

Why are you making this out to be like

it's a fantasy league thing?

This is exactly what you do sitting in that chair.

He was like, give me that letter from the museum.

It's 1604.

You actually do this.

Yeah, but he's got the coolest stuff.

I mean, I'd have a hard time being in the Oval Office and not saying,

you know what, let's put the lunar lander.

Let's turn it upside down and hang it from the ceiling.

You'd accomplish nothing as president.

But it would be the coolest building ever.

This is Glenn Beck.
