Glenn Beck, Sen. Mike Lee, and Rep. Harriet Hageman confront a $90 billion Senate war funding bill that Lee warns funnels aid to Hamas and inflates the deficit while subsidizing government salaries. They expose a global food agenda where foreign-owned beef processors and USDA RFID mandates threaten American agriculture, citing Ireland's 2023 forced cattle slaughter as proof of elite control. The discussion further critiques President Biden's cognitive decline and warns that securitizing natural resources via the SEC could destroy hydroelectric dams to favor unreliable renewables, pushing the West toward nuclear apocalypse.

Glenn Beck's Freedom Fighter Message00:14:14
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Well, hello, America.
It's back in the saddle for a Monday on the Glenn Beck program.
We're going to talk a little bit about what's happening at the White House, or strangely not happening at the White House.
They passed in the Senate a $90 billion bill for, you know, Ukraine and other various sundries, I guess.
I don't know.
Maybe there's some ladies' lingerie in there as well.
$90 billion is hard to spend, but they found a way to do it.
We're going to talk to Mike Lee about that later on in the program.
Also, the Super Bowl last night.
Found it fairly boring until the last couple of quarters.
And the ads: $7 million for every 30 seconds.
I think you could have put a little bit more work into it.
We're going to look at some of the more controversial ads in 60 seconds.

The truth is this, and I want to say this to you from the bottom of my heart, because I care about you.
Don't forget when you turn 60, you need a colonoscopy.
Not one of those home sets, which seems a little bizarre.
No, a real colonoscopy.
Okay.
But in truth, Mark Levin.
Swiftly.
You are a great patriot.
You are a leader of freedom fighters.
Okay, all right, all right, all right.
Mark Levin.
Okay.
I'm not good at these kinds of things.
That's Mark Levin.
I got a bunch of these from like everybody on my birthday, and it was way too much.
It was really, really nice.
It was an odd birthday, but I'll tell you about that later on when we get past some of the important things like the worst commercials on the Super Bowl.
You know, Pat, did you find yourself paying attention to the commercials at all, really?
Not like I used to, because they're just not worth it anymore.
They just don't do Super Bowl commercials like they once did.
You know, they're not.
I don't, I don't.
There were a few decent ones.
Some of them were okay.
Some of them, I really liked the Paramount Creed commercial.
I like that one.
That's pretty good.
There were a few that stood out a little bit, but for Super Bowl ads that you're paying $7 million to air, I think they could have done a lot better.
Yeah.
For one 32nd spot.
Yeah.
There were a couple that I did notice.
And here's the first one.
Cut one.
Pfizer.
Can't hear it.
There it is.
So far, I'm thinking this is really good.
Don't know who the advertiser is.
They're making paintings.
Come alive.
They're singing a queen song.
Don't stop me now.
Now I'm starting to go, who is this?
There's nothing more fun than an mRNA vaccine being injected into your arm.
It's just a life.
It's not fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now you start to see the viruses and the cures.
And you're like, wait, this is Pfizer.
Yeah.
And the last person, the last person that should be saying, don't stop me now, is Pfizer.
No, no, no, no.
We'd like to stop you right now.
Then RFK has been apologizing to his family.
the super pack put this commercial out for rfk you want a man for president who's seasoned through and through a man who's old enough to know and young enough to do Well, it's up to you.
It's up to you.
Wow, it really worked with him, does it?
2024 is responsible for the content of this advertisement.
So it's good.
It was this super PAC.
I thought it was, you know, it was cool.
But the family, I guess, was greatly offended because, you know, some of them, I guess it's pretty bad when your own family is like, how dare you love president?
This is bad.
Let's see.
This one is possibly the one causing the most controversy, and it's all coming from the right.
Cut three.
It is pictures of Christ washing people's feet.
Can you explain?
Can you?
I can't see them from here.
Yeah, it's just a whole bunch of different images of people washing other people's feet.
And they're normally poor, destitute.
There's a different ethnicity worker with a hippie.
They're in somebody's backyard washing an elderly person.
And they could never tear us apart.
A black man sitting on a porch washing a white man's feet or vice versa.
And then the last one.
Jesus didn't teach.
He washed feet.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay, so stop.
So the last one is the controversial one.
And some people have a problem.
In fact, let me read Steve Dace, who I really like.
I just happen to disagree with him, but that is the glory of the blaze.
We don't all have to agree, and we don't force each other to agree.
You will say this!
No, yeah, we're against the whole fascistic kind of brainwashing kind of thing.
So I was reading a tweet that Steve sent out this morning, and he said, how wrong was the He Gets Us ad at the Super Bowl?
Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, not the multitudes of unrepentant sinners as the ad depicts.
Instead, for them, he freely offered himself up as a living sacrifice for their sins, which the ad never points out to them.
It affirms, it instead affirms them in their sin.
Just a vile, repulsive, heretical, and offensive ad.
I can't get upset at Pfizer, Bud Light, or anybody else, the spirit of the age secrets from its depraved mind when our answer, mind, when this, our answer, funded by wealthy Christians, it has been 12 hours and I'm still mad.
I, you know, I kind of disagree.
I mean, they didn't, I think they should have put somebody like the Capitol Police washing the feet of those on January 6th.
If you're going to have Jesus washing of the foot of transgender, or you have somebody else, a priest, washing the feet of the transgender, I get it.
I get it.
But how about making sure that the left is washing the feet of the right as well?
You know what I mean?
Because Jesus came for all of us.
And the point of this ad, I disagree.
I'm not mad at this ad at all.
I just, I think it was, it could have been done better by really pointing out our real differences.
But Jesus, let me ask you, Pat, which one of your children are you so mad at you'd condemn them to hell?
None of them.
None.
No, no, no.
They've done something wrong.
Let's say one of them murdered somebody.
Right.
So you would never want to see them again.
Which one?
Which one?
You had to be none of them.
None of them.
Okay, but wait.
But one of them is in BLM and has set fire to cities and stuff.
So you're going to condemn that one to hell, right?
No.
No, I'm not.
Okay.
See, we, Pat told me one time, just think of God as a loving father and you will understand him and yourself much better.
And I said, don't think I can do that.
And, you know, God is everywhere and in the tree.
And I still believe, you know, he is.
He is everywhere.
But you can understand him and your role as a parent much better if you imagine him to be the perfect loving parent.
He loves all of us, even the ones who have gone astray.
And yes, he would wash the feet of everyone.
Do you think Jesus was embracing adultery when he rode in the sand and said, where are thine accusers?
No, because he told her not to sin anymore.
So that part of the story, though, is always left out by, you know, people trying to condone whatever lifestyle that they think is fine.
And that's the problem.
So if that's the point you're trying to make about Jesus, that he condones everything we ever do, that's not right.
He still loves us, but he doesn't condone our actions a lot of times.
Right.
God is our father.
We are his children.
He loves us.
But, you know, the thing we can learn from that is that we cannot hate our fellow man.
We cannot hate.
And that's the point of this.
We can't hate our enemy.
We are not fighting enemies that are flesh and bone.
We are fighting.
I actually, and if you really pray on this, these are not enemies of ours.
We don't own these rights.
God does.
These are enemies of his.
And we're not the gatekeepers.
We're the welcoming committee.
And we should be praying for our enemy, loving our enemy.
And that's going to get harder and harder to do.
But do you know why Abraham Lincoln was killed by John Wilkes Booth?
You know, he tried twice.
The first time he's just going to kill him with his bare hands.
And it was at the point of the inaugural speech.
We have in the vault the only picture of Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth in the same photograph.
It's an incredible thing.
Abraham Lincoln is given the second inaugural address.
And so he's kind of blurry because he's talking and moving.
And, you know, the cameras need a long exposure.
But up at the top on the gate of the Capitol, looking right and just his eyes and everything are so clear because he was just boring a hole in Lincoln's head is John Wilkes Booth.
And after Lincoln said, with malice toward none and charity for all, Booth about lost his mind because he needed the North to hate the South.
He needed the South to hate the North.
The only reason why he killed Lincoln was so that the North would rise up again in anger towards the South.
That's not Christ-like.
Relief Factor Sponsor Break00:06:23
We should do everything we can to push our anger aside.
That doesn't mean we condone and it doesn't mean we stop fighting them.
We just don't hate.
And that's hard because hate is very, very worldly.
And hate's what's being pushed right now.
Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's Relief Factor.
You know, until I got super into the sport, I'd have, you know, trouble, you know, telling you anything about the football game, you know, that happened last night.
The big game.
Can't say it, you know, the big game.
But now that I'm a die-hard sports fan, you know, I definitely know all the names of the players.
For instance, that one that is dating Taylor Swift at the, I don't know if you saw him, he was playing something, doing something there at the Usher concert.
It was great.
Anyway, if you need to sleep, you can either watch the first half of the Super Bowl or you can try Relief Factor Sleep.

He's a handsome man with the most sparkly, twinkly blue eyes I've ever seen.
And behind those eyes is another sparkle, one for the truth.
Yeah.
One that is committed to asking real questions and telling the truth about our history and the United States of America.
Glenn Beck, I'm so happy to have you in the national conversation.
I've been your number one fan for a number of years, and I am looking forward to 60 more with you, my friend.
God bless America and God bless you.
Happy birthday.
I didn't realize that Megan was suffering from blindness.
I didn't call her and tell her afterwards, I'm happily married.
Stop.
This is stopping.
Hello, my eyes are a piercer, Megan.
Right.
You know.
Okay.
So, Pat, what did you think of the game last night?
Did you watch it?
I thought it was a bore.
Up until about maybe there were five minutes left in the game.
Then it got pretty good.
From then on till the end of the game after the overtime, I thought it was fun.
It was entertaining.
That Mahomey guy, he is pretty good.
He always comes back at the, I think he performs best when there's a gun to his head.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I think they played like they were playing at the beginning of the season and until about halfway through the third quarter.
And then all of a sudden, it was like, where were you guys?
I mean, is this a different team?
He's very Tom Brady-esque.
I mean, I don't know if you paid attention long enough to know that Tom Brady, the greatest quarterback of all time, if you give him too much time at the end of the game and he's only a score behind, you're going to lose.
He's going to bring his team back and win the game.
And that's a lot like Pat Mahomes now.
He's the same way.
I have to tell you, I thought it was boring as snot for most of it.
It was.
That was one of the most exciting endings I've ever seen.
Yeah, it was a fun ending.
But you couple that with the boring ads, and it was kind of a boring broadcast.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, I thought so too.
I thought so too.
I don't know what happened to the days with the kid trapped in the Pepsi bottle and the Budweiser commercials that used to be so good.
And I don't know.
There was a Budweiser commercial and I was like, it wasn't bad.
I mean, it was okay.
It wasn't bad.
It wasn't bad.
But, you know, those Budweiser commercials used to be about America.
Right.
You know?
Yes.
It was about America.
And there's nothing about America.
I mean, I have to tell you, I think there is only one person, one company that is the best advertisement for America globally.
They never shy away from it.
And it is always the best image of America.
Do you know who that is?
I don't.
Who?
I think it's Ralph Lauren.
Ralph Lauren, no matter where you go in the world, has the, you know, has the sweater with a flag on it.
He is America, and he never shies away from it.
It's always the best.
You know, it's always the image of that frontier kind of guy or, you know, just, it's just always the best, I think.
And I don't think there's anybody that is unabashedly as American as Ralph Lauren.
Now, you know, the first, he didn't have a commercial yesterday, though, right?
No, But you know his first ad that he ever, I mean, he was selling ties out of his trunk for a long time, out of the trunk of his car.
And when he first started to become a success, he went out and he was doing this shoot on a farm and he had all of these models come in and all of the clothes.
And the guy took a picture just at the very beginning and it was just fog over this white picket fence and the barn.
Nothing else.
And Ralph said, wrap it up.
We have it.
And the guy said, there's not even clothing in it.
It was the first two-page ad Ralph Lauren did.
They all mocked him and he said, we're selling more than clothes.
Selling America Not Just Clothes00:02:54
Glenn.
Selling America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It is IFCJ.
Now, if you don't know what IFCJ is, these are the people that are taking care of the suffering and the people that just can't make ends meet.
They're suffering because of what's going on in Israel.
They're Jews and they're the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
So it's people of the book that are coming together.
IFCJ is right there in the middle of it every day in a good way.
They're distributing essentials like food and medicine and emergency supplies for hundreds of thousands of suffering Jews.
And I have to tell you, I have talked to many people.
I haven't been over there yet myself since the 7th, but I talked to somebody just last week who said, you have to go, Glenn.
It is, it's palpable.
It is so different now.

Happy birthday, Glenn Beck.
You're 60 years old.
Now, there are two kind of tracks on the birthday thing.
One is the chronological age, and you're definitely 60.
Then there's the emotional age.
So I'm going to let your listeners and viewers kind of handicap that for you.
I do want to say that you are a stand-up guy, a smart guy, entertaining guy.
I've known you now for almost half your life, Beck.
And I've seen great changes because of the great influence that I have had on you.
Yes.
And on this birthday, I want to say that I'm happy to have steered you in the right direction.
And I want you to have a blast celebrating your 60th.
Yes.
Now, Bill is the only person that sent me a nice thing and made my birthday about him, which is very nice.
It's very nice.
You know, the amazing thing about Bill is he knows that's his Ebo.
He knows that.
He is, he just plays into it every single time.
Bill Plays Into It Every Time00:15:46
Totally completely.
He plays into it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which makes him a really bad guy, and I don't like him.
So let me just quickly tell you last week I was out because my father was very, very ill.
He's my father-in-law, but I call him my father because he is.
I don't understand people who are constantly making fun of their in-laws.
Now, I mean, there are some that you're like, okay, yeah, in law.
I want to emphasize in law.
There's nothing else tying us together.
It's kind of like a prison sentence.
I understand that there are some people that would feel that way, but I never have.
I love these guys.
And it was the perfect way to go.
Early in the week, he was doing really bad last weekend, the weekend before last.
So we all flew in.
And by Monday, he had started to make some recovery.
And he had his sense of humor.
And he knew.
And he was just great.
And everybody had a chance to see him.
And probably in the last 12 hours or so, he just went to sleep.
His kidneys weren't working anymore.
His liver wasn't working anymore.
His heart was really bad.
All of his organs were shutting down.
And he just went to sleep.
Maybe, maybe had a little discomfort for a few hours.
Tanya and I went home along with everybody else and the phone rang at about four o'clock.
I woke up at 2.30 in the morning and I thought, he's passing.
He's leaving.
And I almost woke my wife.
And I didn't because I thought, oh, it's just me.
He ends up dying at 3 o'clock in the morning.
And we get a call.
We're there by 4.
And it was one of the most remarkable things ever because we went in and he had passed.
And so we're sitting with the body, which I always thought would be really creepy, but it wasn't.
And it was so clear that he was gone, that his spirit was gone.
And you could see the empty shell of a worn-out body.
And mom came in and she put her hand on his head.
And Tanya and I were there for about 90 minutes with her.
And she just talked to him about all the good times that they had together and the struggles and how it was all worth it and praised God for all the time that they had.
And it was one of the most amazing things.
This man, Vinny Kelowna, taught me what a family really is, taught me how to be a good dad, taught me so many things, raised an incredible daughter who said no to me when I first asked her to marry me because we didn't have faith in common.
And we had to have faith in God in common or she said we would never make it.
She knew that because she was raised by godly and good parents.
He taught me even last week how to die.
It was amazing.
He died on my birthday and everybody in the family said, oh my gosh, Glenn, I'm so sorry you died on your birthday.
And I actually find it to be an honor.
I really do.
We now share a birthday.
His birth into everlasting life and my birthday.
And I am so grateful that actually he died, not the day before, not the day after, but on my birthday.
So I will always remember him on my birthday.
It will be forever tied to him.
He was truly a great man.
His funeral service will be on Saturday, Wake on Friday, and I will be traveling back up on the middle of this week.
So I'll be back in New Haven, Connecticut.
I flew out to the ranch yesterday because we have so much going on here that I just couldn't put off anymore.
And then I'll be back in Dallas next week.
Thank you for putting up with me in the last week.
And thanks to everybody on my staff who has just made it so unbelievably easy to do the things that I felt we as a family needed to do.
By the way, even at the end, my father-in-law, I think, was more aware than Joe Biden.
We have to go through later on in the program, Pat, we're going to go through that.
Have you heard the five-minute collection of Biden just being gone?
Five minutes.
It's incredible.
It's absolutely incredible.
And I know you talked about this on Friday, but I wasn't here on Friday.
The speech he gave, first of all, you're either competent enough to stand trial and be the president, or you're a sweet old man with good intentions that just doesn't have a good memory, that can't go to trial because you're really not competent and you go home.
It's one or the other.
You're either standing trial and you're president or you're incompetent and you go home.
Which one is it?
So the president, he knew how bad this was.
And so Thursday he gave a speech.
I just want to play two highlights from this that prove the point.
Listen to this.
I think that, as you know, initially, the president of Mexico, Cece, did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in.
I talked to him.
I convinced him to open the gate.
I talked to Bibi to open the gate on the Israeli side.
I've been pushing really hard.
Really hard to get humanitarian assistance into Gaza.
Okay.
All right.
Pat, I didn't know that the Cece, the president of Egypt, was now the president of Mexico.
That seems like almost too much power for one man, doesn't it?
It does.
It really does.
But I can understand why the people of Mexico would want him, you know, running Egypt.
You know, they've got pyramids.
Mexico has pyramids.
I'm sure his campaign went with like, you know, something like, hey, I've taken care of these.
Wait till you see Mexico what I can do for you.
That's a good point.
You do have the pyramid tie.
Yeah.
You do.
You do.
So it makes sense.
It does make sense.
And people were making fun of him for saying that Cece, in the speech where he's saying, I'm confident, he's saying the president of Mexico is actually the president of Egypt.
Okay.
Then this.
Not share classified information.
I did not share it.
With your bushfire.
With my ghostwriter, I did not.
Guarantee you did not.
But the Federal Council said.
No, I did not say that.
Okay.
But Mr. President, let me answer your question.
The fact of the matter is, what I didn't want repeated, I didn't want him to know, and I didn't read it to him, was I had written a long memorandum to President Obama why we should not be in Afghanistan.
And I was of this multiple pages.
And so what I was referring to, I said classified.
I should have said it should be private because it was a contact between the president and the vice president as to what was going on.
That's what he's referring to.
It was not classified information in that document.
Okay.
Yeah, he's totally good.
He's totally good there.
Totally good.
I like when old men get grumpy.
I was a little disappointed in my dad as he was dying.
He never got grumpy.
He had a good sense of humor the whole time.
But I like it when old people are like, let me tell you, Chop Dayton, Mudge, get me a bucket.
For what?
I don't know, but get me.
And you, let me tell you.
He's crazy.
He's crazy and should not be the president of the United States.
And during that same speech, I think it was where he also mentioned, he had just mentioned Francois Mitterrand, who died in 1996, was the president of France, and he just had a conversation with him a couple of years ago.
But then he also did the Helmut Cole thing.
He confused Helmut Cole with Angela Merkel of Germany.
The man proved over and over and over.
Look, Cole was living when Biden was living.
What's the difference?
Well, for part of the time.
Yes.
Yeah.
They both ran Germany.
You're right.
You're right.
So I guess it wasn't that.
They both ran Germany.
what is your problem, man?
What is your problem?
Boy, I have to tell you, everybody is working like crazy to either hummel him.
I mean, I'm talking on the left, either to pummel him and go, he's got to get out, or this last gasp of who was it was in the White House.
He was like, he is competent.
He is sharp as a marble.
He is, he is, he's cogent.
He asked me for facts.
I don't even know.
And then he's like, hey, youngster, I've got these facts in my holsters.
I can pull them out anytime.
It's one or the other.
And I think we know which one it is.
Now the question is, how does the Democrat exit?
How does he exit?
Because he's going to go out screaming on the lawn.
How does he exit?
And how do they recover from that?
More in just a second.
First, let me tell you about our commercial sponsor.
It's RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.
Pat, you ever try to sell your house?
Yes.
Yes.
Multiple times.
Good experiences?
Never.
No.
It's never been a good experience.
No, it really hasn't.
Do you know anybody who's like, oh man, that was a piece of cake?
That was so great.
No.
No, I don't.
No, unless you have a really good realtor.
Maybe then it's a little bit better, but still not great.
Yeah.
But have you ever become friends with the realtor?
No.
And now imagine if somebody's taking you through the house and they're like, and you go, where's the master bedroom?
They're like, oh, my God, we don't say master bedroom anymore.
Oh, I think it could be a murder house.
I think we'd have to relist it as a murder house.

It is the Glenn Beck program.
Hi, I'm Mike Lee, long time fan of Glenn Beck and president of the Glenn Beck fan club in the United States Senate.
Happy birthday, Mike.
Yeah, thank you, Mike Lee.
He's going to be joining us here in a second, talk about the new, I think it's, what is it, 90 billion that Chuck Schumer jammed through yesterday along with the help with, ah, turtle.
I look like a turtle, and I wish I could put my head in my suit.
So we got that going for us coming up next hour, standby.
The Providence of Saskatchewan is doing something unique.
They are actually trying to copy the United States, the red states of the United States.
In case people don't know, they're not familiar with Canada.
Saskatchewan is north of America.
And New Brunswick is, I hope I didn't get too technical there.
New Brunswick now requires teachers to obtain parental consent before humoring, before humoring students' cross-sex delusions.
Alberta is now posed to pass wide-sweeping policies and legislations that would not only prohibit children from undergoing sex change mutilations and taking puberty blockers, but it would also keep parents abreast of their, no pun intended, of their kids' efforts to transition at school and bar all men from women's sports.
The radicals are very upset.
Randall Garrison, he's a member of parliament.
He's also anti-Israel, et cetera, et cetera.
In Saskatchewan, they were talking about strengthening parental rights and protecting children from unnecessary, irreversible, and disfiguring medical interventions.
He said, I'd like to say, first of all, that there is no such things as parental rights in Canada.
There are parental responsibilities, but not parental rights.
Oh, who's saying a quiet part out loud?
You are.
Yes.
Yes, it's cute.
It is starting to sweep Canada.
The people who are in, you know, more of the, quote, red states of Canada, which is, again, north of America, they are starting to take a stand as well against this craziness, absolute craziness.
Parental Rights in Canada00:03:25
The Glenn Beck Program.
Enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to Monday.
We have Mike Lee going to tell us what the spending package that they passed over the weekend, $90 billion.
Where's that money going?
A hint, not to you, not to your business, not to America.
We'll tell you about that coming up in just a second.
First, let me tell you about American financing.
It is time to get serious about some things as you move towards this next year.
We're fighting a war on a cultural level, on a political level, on a spiritual level, and I think things are going to get more intense as we go along.
But believe it or not, your fiscal responsibility is a huge part of your role in all of this.
So let me start here.
Do you own a home?
Because right now, there's some great news in the market for homeowners.
Interest rates have dropped and are now in the fives, which is a lot lower than they were last year.
Don't doom spend.
But if you're somebody that has been in a situation where you've been putting things on a high interest rate credit card just to survive, and now you're buried in that high interest debt, American Financing can help you access the cash in your home to pay off that high interest debt.
Last year, they helped customers save an average of $854 a month.
That's the average customer that came from this show.
That's like giving yourself a $10,000 raise.
Start the new year the right way with American Financing.
American Financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net.
NMLS 182334, NMLS ConsumerAccess.org.
APR for the rates in the five starts at 6.275% for well-qualified buyers.
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
I first met Glenn Beck in the hallway at Fox News at 1211 6th Avenue in 2009.
That year, he and I started there.
We both had worked at CNN.
And I'll admit, I never watched him on television.
But I did hear management complain about him because they thought he was crazy and hard to control.
And then one day I'm sitting in my office around five o'clock and I flip on Glenn Beck.
And I thought then, as I think now, that he was the single most naturally talented television performer I had ever seen in my life.
He, as I sat there transfixed and mesmerized, spent an entire hour with no notes or teleprompter sketching out his stream of consciousness thoughts onto a whiteboard.
And they were all cogent and coherent.
Glenn Beck's Natural Talent00:12:37
And by the way, I agreed with them.
And I thought, whatever it is to be a genius in television or radio, Glenn Beck is.
So the fact that he's turning 60 years old and he still hasn't not a single hint of senility makes me all the more admiring.
Happy birthday, Glenn Beck, from your friend.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you very much.
That's really nice.
Nice of Duncan to say, but I think it's not hard to say.
Yeah, absolutely, completely untrue.
You know, did I, was he doing, maybe he was being sarcastic because then he got to the senility part and there's clearly signs all over the place.
So anyway, anyway, Mike Lee is joining us now.
Hello, Mike.
I want you to know that I've never personally seen you do the Joe Biden shuffle or shake hands with a non-existent person.
So, you know, that counts for something.
Well, I will tell you that he's getting a bad rap for, you know, saying that Cece is the president of Mexico when he was the president of Egypt.
But I think I found that out.
I mean, it only makes sense that Cece is the president of Egypt and Mexico because they both have pyramids.
So, you know, it makes a lot of sense.
Yes, yes.
So that's it.
It would make sense.
Yes, this is great.
Another cogent point.
Yes.
Wow.
Wow.
Thank you very much.
So, Mike, what the hell have the Senate done this time?
Well, the Senate this time has yet again put together a bill that now appears quite likely to pass that unites Democrats, sharply divides Republicans on an issue where most Republican voters and most Republican senators are adamantly opposed to the Democrats' position.
But Senate Republican leadership and a small handful of others have given the Senate, the Senate Democrats more than enough votes to where it looks like they're going to be able to pass this thing in the next 48 hours or so.
Really is too bad.
I mean, we could still stop it.
If all the Republicans decided to band together, we could still stop it.
But the clock's ticking.
Yeah, but you have Murkowski and Romney.
So you know what I can give.
Yeah, but The remaining 31 of us who didn't vote for this have strong concerns, big concerns, concerns that are backed up by voters all across America.
Not all of them Republicans, by the way, but certainly an overwhelming supermajority of Republicans in the country have great difficulty for this.
With this, you know, I stood on the Senate floor all day on Saturday.
I spoke for four continuous hours, trying again and again and again to get amendments pending, amendments pending in the Senate, meaning they're in the queue to be voted on, to be addressed.
The Democrats wouldn't let us do it.
I put up an amendment, for example, making sure that this aid wouldn't end up going to Hamas.
You send this through any of these entities, through the UN.
They make a lot of hay about the fact that, oh, well, we cut UNRWA out of any aid.
Oh, great.
There are 19 UN agencies operating in Gaza.
And guess what?
You send aid to Gaza, trying to say we're going to send this to Gaza, but not Hamas.
It's not real.
I don't even know how to analyze that.
It's like saying we're going to give money to the UK, but it won't go to the British.
It's not a thing.
So, okay, so hang on.
$90 billion.
What's in this package?
What are we sending?
The $95 billion in the package, about $60 billion of it goes to Ukraine.
Well, within that portion of it, you've got about $8 billion that goes to direct economic assistance to the Ukrainian government.
Where Ukrainian government is expected to spend that on things like paying all of Zelensky's bureaucrats, every government employee in Ukraine, civilians, the whole thing, for an entire year.
They're also free to use that for their own welfare benefit system.
They're also free to use that for their own sort of Ukrainian crony capitalism sort of thing, which they've got going on.
For example, we've got actual instances of this type of aid that we've given to Ukraine over the last couple of years being used to buy people concert tickets in Ukraine, to shore up the viability of clothing stores in Ukraine.
It's a real motherload of opportunities here, opportunities for those who are close to the Ukrainian corruption.
Now, look, we could have a real debate here if this were just military aid, but there's so much in this package that is not military aid that's going to other things.
Also in the bill, you've got a total of between $9 and $10 billion.
It's going, loosely speaking, to some type of humanitarian aid.
And it just says in these two different accounts that add up to between $9 and $10 billion.
It says that they can go to these loose humanitarian concerns in and around Ukraine and in and around Israel, which means that in theory, the Biden administration could channel most or even all of that aid to Gaza.
It's what Gaza does when we give them humanitarian aid.
It's not Gaza broadly.
This is Hamas.
Well, Hamas in the past has used our aid money, whether funneled through the United Nations, as it usually is or otherwise.
And they build tunnels, they buy arms, they prepare to attack innocent Israelis and do whole things.
This is giving them more of an opportunity to do that very thing that resulted in October 7th.
But make no mistake, Hamas is not content with October 7th.
That's just a preview of more things to come.
All they need are the resources, and apparently we might be providing them with those.
Mike, it's Pat Gray.
Just to be clear, I want to make sure I understand.
You are anti-Ukrainian concerts then, as well as anti-Ukrainian clothing stores.
Yeah, I got that too.
Good catch.
Big catch.
Thank you.
He was just going to let that slide.
I don't want it to.
Mike, I have to tell you, Ukrainians can go to concerts and they can buy a lot of clothing that's not on the American taxpayer group.
Wow.
That's a tough position.
I have to tell you, Mike, at every corner, it seems, since 2008, when we're talking about big money, the American people have not had any relief.
The big corporations have gotten it.
The big banks have gotten it.
The Fed has gotten it.
Foreign countries have gotten it.
Now the clothing stores in Ukraine have gotten it.
But the ma and pa, I had to buy a black suit over the weekend.
And I went into this great legendary clothing store in New Haven, Connecticut called Feruchi's.
And as I'm talking to the guy behind the counter, and he's like, COVID killed us, man.
It killed the clothing industry.
They're struggling.
You know, the people that made really good suits for like Brooks Brothers and stuff for him, he said they used to have 2,000 employees.
He said they got down to, I think it was 150 employees, and now they're back up to 500.
And everything has changed.
And not a dime has been helping out these companies.
They destroyed us.
And we were buying, you know, people were getting stuff and they were buying concert tickets here in America.
While the real people trying to keep the doors from falling off, no pun intended with Boeing because they're apparently working to keep the doors flying off.
The people who are really doing the hard work, they never get a break from this government, ever.
Never get a break from it, and it never sleeps.
It never stops spending.
And, you know, the more we spend with multi-trillion dollar deficits year after year after year, it starts to add up and it starts to make every dollar that we have that Americans earn through their hard work by less.
You know, the average American household every single month has to shell out an additional $1,000 just to live, just to put the roof over your head and groceries on the business.
So what is this really all about?
This spending.
What is this really all about?
Who's really getting the money here?
What favors are being done?
What NGOs are taking that money and then funneling it back to an election here?
What's happening?
Well, the biggest single beneficiary from these, probably defense contractors, people who make armies.
Look, there are plenty of people who are patriotic and who are not part of what I would call the military-industrial complex.
And by that, I mean those who worship at the altar of war so that they can make more money profiteering off of war.
But there are a number of those, and it's a real thing.
It's been warned of since President Eisenhower, that the bigger it gets, the more powerful it becomes.
And I'd say the military-industrial complex is the single biggest beneficiary from a package like this.
Sometimes some of my colleagues will even let the mask slip.
Some of my Republican colleagues have done that in recent weeks by saying things like, look, we've got to get this thing done and we should get this done because this will create American jobs.
It's good for us to see this warning because it'll create when we put these, you know, many tens of billions of dollars into these weapons procurement contracts for weapons,
by the way, that are going to go to others and not us and that are actually going to commandeer our procurement process in such a way that we'll have access to weapons for our own uses later rather than sooner.
That employs people in America.
That employs people who make a lot of these weapon systems that we're going to be sending over there.
But these are things that are, you know, we have a finite stash of them.
We've already exhausted a lot of them.
It's already going to take us, even before we add this package to it, years, possibly until 2030 or 2035, to replace a lot of this stuff.
What happens when you take more and more of this stuff while unable to produce more here at home?
It really is concerning.
We become less and less capable of protecting the American homeland from whatever attack we might face here.
This is deeply concerning.
Okay, so Mike Lee in the Senate fighting hard along with what there are about 13 of you, are there not?
Well, how many are fighting?
No, no, there's 31.
One Senate Republican who are opposing them.
Yeah.
And think about what that means for a minute.
That means this is an overwhelming supermajority of Republicans in the United States Senate who are against it.
And yet our Senate Republican leadership is all for it.
They're teaming up with Democrats to promote Democratic policies to unite Democrats on issues that are particular to the less.
This is concerning.
So last week, gang, you stopped the bill in the Senate on the border.
You got to do it again.
Senate Republicans vs. Local Farms00:07:51
You make a difference.
You do make a difference.
Call your senator and say, in no uncertain terms, you're not to keep giving my children and my great-great-grandchildren's money away.
We don't have the money.
We don't have the enough is enough.
My gosh.
Mike, thanks for the good fight.
I appreciate it.
God bless.
Thank you very much.
Good to be with you.

Glenn, Dennis Prager here, and I got up to wish you a happy birthday from L.A.
And my wife said, you know, you're smoking a cigar, and Glenn is LDS, as you folks prefer to be called these days, which is fine with me.
And then I thought, all right, so when you send me a birthday wish, you can have a ham and cheese sandwich while you do it.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Can I tell you, I'm going to do that.
I am going to do that.
In fact, I'm going to send him a video today of me eating a ham and cheese sandwich just to thank him for the birthday greeting.
I was really overwhelmed by all of the people that came out and wished me happy birthday.
I got these on Saturday.
And it was very nice of all of them to do.
All right.
Let's see.
We've got coming up in just a second.
We want to talk to you about what's happening with our farms and our ranches.
There is a global food agenda that is going on.
And I read some stories about how the EU has caved.
They've caved to the farmers.
Oh, God, I wish I was on in Europe.
I wish people would listen to us in Europe.
They didn't cave.
They didn't.
You're not winning yet.
They're only delaying it until after the election.
Okay.
We're going to study this again after the election.
Oh, I bet you are.
The global elite are terrified of what could happen in this election.
So you're going to see all kinds of things being promised and said.
You're going to see, I'll bet you, interest rates go down.
They'll do everything they can to make it look like, you know what?
I think the people have a good point.
And after the election, we'll talk about that some more.
But right now, we're going to stop it.
And what else is interesting?
I don't believe it.
What else is interesting here is that it's not just Europe.
We've got our own farming problems in this country.
We've got a real cattle shortage going on right now that has been brought on by the government.
I mean, in part by some drought, they say, but mostly because prices of feed have gone up so much that they can't feed the cattle.
So they're cutting back on production of cattle.
And that's why you're seeing the prices of beef go up through the roof.
I mean, to pay $50 for a steak is unreal right now.
Unreal.
And, you know, the bigger problem is that there are four big food processing companies in the country.
Two of them are owned by people out of country.
They're not even American food processing companies.
The two American, at least one of them is all on the fake meat front.
But all four of them, I believe, collude to keep the price of beef down for them.
They buy it.
You can't sell your meat to anybody, but these big four processing plants.
And so, okay.
And so you have to take what they're offering.
It is so important that we build processing plants in local communities.
You've got to strengthen your local farms and your local ranchers.
We've got to find a way around this.
Congress, one Congresswoman is working hard on this.
She's actually the woman that replaced Liz Cheney in Wyoming.
We're going to talk to her when we come back.
I have to tell you, I'm so pleased to do business with Good Ranchers because of what we just talked about.

Protecting Food Supply From Restrictions00:13:40
This is one of them.
They put together this whole thing of, you know, my life and everything that's happened in the 60 years of life.
And then I'm really, this is one of my favorite songs.
And then at the end, I realize John Adrasik is doing, is performing it for me and changing some of the lyrics.
That's an amazing, just amazing.
I can't thank John and my staff.
I have truly the best staff, I think, in all of radio.
All right, let me go to Wyoming here.
We had a podcast a couple of weeks ago on how bad our farmers and our ranchers are being screwed by the federal government and how dangerous this is becoming.
We're no longer the breadbasket for the rest of the world.
Most people don't know that.
And Harriet Hageman is with us now.
She's from Wyoming.
Harriet, did I pronounce your last name right?
I'm sorry.
Yes, you did, Glenn Hageman.
Okay, good.
Good, good, good.
So you are the person that beat Liz Cheney, and I thank you for that for her seat in Congress.
So tell me what people don't know about what's really going on with our farmers and our ranchers.
How bad is this getting?
Well, I appreciate the opportunity, and I did watch that podcast or listen to that a couple of weeks ago, and I was stunned about the amount of information that you were able to get out into the public sphere with the gentleman that you were interviewing.
I am a water and natural resource attorney before I was elected to Congress.
And so I have worked for a lot of ranchers and farmers and irrigation districts and municipalities and things in Wyoming, Nebraska, and other states.
And really what we're seeing is the federal government who is attempting to limit our food supply.
And they're doing it through a variety of ways.
One of them that I would describe would be the USDA's just absolute obsession with imposing an RFID or EID mandate against our cattle producers, that they would put EID ear tags for all of our cattle and bison producers.
And the point is to vertically integrate the industry.
Right now, the poultry and the pork industry have already been vertically integrated, where if you look through the entire Supply chain, it is the Packers themselves that own the entire supply chain.
We only have four big Packers in the United States: one owned by China, two by Brazil, and one American company.
And that's what they're trying to do with the cattle industry as well.
So it's to vertically integrate it so that they can control it.
So I'll just give you an example of what I mean by this.
These people are obsessed with global warming, as you know.
And in 2022, Ireland adopted an EID mandate.
In the spring of 2022, Ireland adopted an EID mandate.
They always say it's about traceability.
It's about disease control.
And if there were a disease outbreak, we would be able to trace.
We already did that.
We do it right now.
We have brands backtakes.
We're already able to do that.
But in Ireland, they said the same thing.
Oh, this is about safety.
And the United States has the safest food supply in the world.
And they adopted an EID mandate in the spring of 2022.
By the summer of 2023, they were mandating the slaughter of 41,000 head of cattle, not because of a disease outbreak, but because of global warming.
So what they want to do is they want to limit the amount of protein that we're allowed to have.
They want to limit the kind of protein that we can have.
And that's what this is about.
It's about our government using food to control us.
It's government-imposed wretchedness.
You know, when you say this, and you're preaching to the choir, because I've been, you know, when I first saw the World Economic Forum's plans, I thought, this is so crazy.
There's no way this is true.
No, no, no.
It's all true.
And Europe is ahead of us.
And it is so diabolical and evil that there's when you say you want to change the industry from seed to fork,
that sounds to me like millions will die just for, even if your intentions are good and everything else, just the hundreds of thousands of mistakes that you could make that will snowball into starvation.
But I think some of these people are so anti-human that's craziness.
It is craziness, and it is, again, it comes back to control of the government control because you always have to ask, what is the problem they're trying to fix?
Have we had major disease outbreaks that have killed thousands of people?
No, not with on the cattle side of things.
And the reality is, to the extent there is an issue, it's always on the meat side.
It's the packing side.
It's not the livestock side where we have challenges or problems.
So it is about vertical integration.
Because if USDA does not know where the cattle are or how many head a particular rancher owns, they can't impose a restriction of saying you're going to have to call 10% of your herd or you're only allowed to have 500, not 750.
The other thing they're trying to do is that they have all of these radical environmental ideas.
Our ranchers and farmers are some of the most of the very best stewards of the land in the United States and in fact in the world.
Of course.
You have the EPA, you have the USDA, you have all of these various agencies who think that they know better.
And so what you're going to see is as soon as they impose an EID mandate, they're going to come in with what they call BQA, beef quality assurances.
And it's a 59-point checklist where the USDA can come onto your property unannounced and start dictating to you how you're going to operate your ranch and manage your livestock.
Oh, dear God, how do we stop this?
How do we stop this?
Well, so we've been fighting it.
I fought it in a lawsuit for the last several years.
We've been able to put them back.
It was supposed to go into effect on January 1st, 2023, because of our lawsuit and my efforts in Congress.
We've been able to put them back.
And we have one more thing up our sleeve that we're going to keep trying to push back against the USDA on this.
But then you're well aware of the NACs, the natural asset companies, where they're trying to come in and then monetize and securitize all of our, quote, so-called natural assets.
It's the most bizarre thing I've ever heard.
This is coming through the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange with the idea that someone like Bill Gates could spend a billion dollars and own all the natural assets for Yellowstone National Park.
Well, we don't own air.
We don't own the wind.
We don't own pollination.
We don't own those things.
Yet our government is attempting to monetize those and securitize those so that, number one, that they can put them on their balance sheet so they can continue to borrow money.
And number two, so they can, again, control what we can produce.
If they put a NAC, if they put a natural asset company and they sell the natural assets for a particular parcel of federal land, there can be no mining, no grazing, no logging.
There can be no activities whatsoever.
And again, it is an effort to limit and restrict our ability to access the natural resources that we have in this country.
So we're talking to Congresswoman Harriet Hageman.
She is the Republican from Wyoming that is wide awake on what's really going on here.
And don't laugh this off when you say they're trying to buy the air.
Well, we don't own the air.
Remember, that is exactly what the Native Americans said when the white man came to buy the land.
It was almost a joke many times to them because the Great Spirit owns the land.
We don't own the land, but they sold it to us.
And it's not funny now, is it?
And it won't be funny.
You do not laugh this off with what they're trying to do on Wall Street with the air.
It is really, really dangerous.
There's one thing, because I'm a rancher up in Idaho, and all of this stuff just makes me think my kids aren't going to have a chance at any of this.
They are also talking, and I know you're fighting this kind of stuff in Wyoming.
In the Pacific Northwest, the United States government is actually talking about destroying four major hydroelectric plants and reservoirs so the salmon can survive.
That wipes out farmland.
It's insanity.
It is insanity because it's not only going to destroy the farmland up there, it is going to destroy the communities and the economies of all of the surrounding communities.
And they don't even know, don't have any metrics to demonstrate that this is going to do what they claim it's going to do.
They are attempting to take out those dams.
That hydropower, because of this obsession with wind and solar and the so-called renewables, I call them the unreliables.
But because of their obsession with unreliable power and energy, they have to have, we have to have the backups.
We have to have a full redundancy.
And hydropower is clean and it is reliable.
With those dams, those hydropower plants on those dams, that is the backup for massive numbers of people throughout the upper Midwest and California for their electricity when the unreliables are not producing any electricity.
When they take those dams out, there is no backup.
If the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine, they won't have electricity because there isn't a backup.
The environmental devastation that they are going to create by taking out those dams is mind-blowing, and they are trying to go forward with it.
Thank you for standing.
Please keep me on speed dial.
You need people to stand up.
You have something else to expose.
Please, people are just now waking up on how bad and how dangerous this administration and the global government is becoming to our food supply.
It will cause starvation for a very long time if it goes through.
Congressman.
Yes, and the natural asset companies, I really encourage your listeners to find out about that and push back against it and make sure that we are, we won this round.
The New York Stock Exchange had to withdraw that rule, and the SEC has stopped it for now.
They won that round.
They'll come back.
Come back with something else.
They'll just name it something else.
This is the way they do it.
Uh, thank you so much, congressman Hagman from uh Wyoming.
God bless.

The Glenn Beck Program will be right back.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
I'm sharing the uh space today.
Filling in for my executive producer is uh, my longtime best friend, uh Pack Ray, who uh joins me now from PACK RAY Unleashed.
He is also the man that is responsible for the possibility of uh foreigner getting into the rock and roll haul comes after many, many years of very hard work uh, trying to make that happen.
You, this is Something you have been on for a very long time, for a long time.
21st Century Fascism and Rock Roll00:03:57
Yeah.
And finally, they got their first, this is the first time they've ever even been nominated.
It's not amazing.
It's incredible to think about.
That's crazy.
But can they beat out Mary J. Blige?
That's well, she's such a rock and roll legend.
Yes, right.
As is Cher, as you know.
And cool in the game.
Yes.
I mean, and Rocket, members shot days.
What was that song?
It was so awful.
Yeah, something so bad.
Yeah.
Sinead O'Connor.
So big time rock.
Sinead O'Connor.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, you know, they keep using this rock and roll Hall of Fame, and I don't think those words mean what they think it means, but maybe it's just me.
By the way, we were just talking about what the government is doing.
And, you know, we got to do a show on how 21st century fascism, you know, and dictatorships exist.
Right now, you could make the case that, you know, we're under a dictatorship, but not the way people think.
Joe Biden, I don't even think is in control of, I mean, maybe not even his powers, but he is, he's a guy who is just allowing the administrative state to take care of everything.
And that was Woodrow Wilson's dream, that there would be one guy who was the head of the administrative state, and he would empower all of these agencies, and then they would go state.
First, they would get rid of the Constitution and all that pesky stuff.
And it would just be administrators.
And they would administrate absolutely everything.
And then they'd go state to state to administrate for those individual states because it should be just one country.
This is a dictatorship.
It is a technocracy.
It is just faceless people running your life.
And when we were saying just a little while ago about, you know, well, they're just going to change the name and repackage it.
Well, lo and behold, there's a story from Fox today.
It's on my morning newsletter about how the Department of Energy is still going after your gas stove.
Even though they said they weren't, they're doing it in a hundred different ways.
And this story outlines all the different ways that the administrative state can just put regulations on and just kill the gas stove industry.
Glenn Beck Program.
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Well, Biden yesterday during the Super Bowl picked a perfect time to address the American people.
I mean, not, you know, like traditionally when the president speaks in an interview before the Super Bowl.
Biden's TikTok Shrinkflation Video00:15:24
No, no, no, no.
He could.
He was too busy.
He couldn't do that.
But he did send out a video blaming companies for shrinkflation ahead of the Super Bowl.
And we're going to start with some of that logic in 60 seconds.
Stand by.
Our sponsor, this half hour, we are so pleased to have Patriot Mobile as our sponsor.
If you're tired of being told what's wrong with America, if you're tired of corporations going woke right and left, if you being the one who ends up having to pay for it, if you're tired of that, you're tired of everything seemingly stacked against you, well, stop sending your money to those corporations that are helping do that and are in bed with the federal government and these NGOs.
Maybe it's time to make the switch to Patriot Mobile for your cell phone.
Their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedom and to glorify God.
That's why they built a great company.
And a lot of the profits then are taken and they are reinvested in our own communities so we can help fight with some of their money.
Some of the things that are going on to fight against life and liberty and the Second Amendment and the Constitution, they are in our school districts helping.
You're also going to save money.
You're going to get the exact same cell service because they're on the same cell phone companies and you're going to feel good about it.
It's the lowest hurdle that you have to really jump over to help save the country.

So we got some good stuff going on, you know, with the president.
We're going to get to the president here in just a minute because, I mean, it's, you know, he has to announce, you know, shrinkflation, which is there anyone within the sound of my voice that believes that it's the evil grocery store or the evil company that is just screwing you?
Or do you think maybe things have gotten more expensive because of inflation?
Which do you think it is?
I think it's big ice cream.
Big ice cream shrinking the size of their containers.
I think that's what it is.
Yeah.
Amend to that.
I hope they have a good attorney.
Yeah.
So what's the next thing that a president or a dictatorship does when they start to blame companies for shrinkflation or inflation or high cost?
What is the next step that they always take?
Well, you got to do price controls, if not just take over the damn company if they won't do that.
Well, they give them a chance.
Right.
We tried.
They gave them a chance.
Yeah, we tried.
We tried.
And they fought against our price controls and, you know, and then the whole thing fell apart.
And now they say they can't make any money.
Well, damn it, we know they can.
And that's why we're going to take over the company.
Or we're just going to make sure that the company stays, you know, because it's vital.
So we're going to subsidize it and make sure that it stays doing what it does, except without all the evil stuff, except more evil.
It's going to be really great, except that it's horrible.
So you got that going for you.
Now, Biden's reelection campaign announced yesterday the arrival of a new video captioned L-O-A, L-O-L.
Hey guys.
And it's from the Joe Biden campaign now on TikTok.
And I thought to myself, wow, now they're going to turn this around.
Now they're going to turn this around.
In fact, may I just quote Aaron Parnis?
He is a Gen Z political content creator.
He said, and I'm quoting, young people around the country have been waiting for this moment.
Oh, you kidding me?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Is this the guy who flexes his muscles and does all the pro-Biden stuff for money from the Biden administration?
Is that the same case?
I don't.
I think it is.
Doesn't everybody do things for Biden for money?
Yes.
Yes, but these two in particular, there's two Gen Zers who purport to be huge Biden fans.
They love everything he does.
He can't do anything wrong.
And one of them flexes his muscles in the background.
Like, okay.
I guess you guys are.
I'm happy to say I'm not on TikTok, so I don't need to be on TikTok.
Are you a federal employee?
Because federal employees are actually banned from being on TikTok, but not the federal employee who's the president, I guess.
Right.
Well, he's got a public-private partnership, you know.
All right.
He's not doing it.
He's not doing it.
But the Gen Z guy said the president is meeting us where we are, and we're going to help him win, you know, with all of the things that he's going to be doing on TikTok, which is great stuff.
Great stuff, really.
So, yeah, you were banned as a federal employee from using it.
I'm not sure why the president of the United.
Well, you know what?
He's a nice man, good-intentioned.
He just is very forgetful.
And he probably forgot about that.
He forgot about that.
So, question answers.
Oh, that made me so, so mad last week when I heard that.
So mad when I heard that they weren't prosecuting him because, well, he just, you know, he's a doddering old fool.
And he is, don't get me wrong.
In fact, can we play that clip, the highlights of Joe Biden where he just can't recall anything?
Listen.
This is last Thursday.
Anyway.
Anyway.
Yeah.
I don't want to.
Anyway.
Well, maybe choose my words.
I was just thinking.
I just.
Anyway.
I mean.
Anyway.
Hello.
Putin's kleptocracy.
Wow.
Yeah.
Kleptocracy.
January.
After a reading.
I like that.
The late January, early February.
No.
Next clip.
Uh-huh.
Hello.
You said we need not just, well, I won't go into it.
Here's what drives the driver in the states that are affected.
Here's what you can do.
The drivers.
And drivers.
Okay.
Yeah.
And drivers, you know, the drivers.
For two reasons.
One.
Hello.
It's an impact.
It's an impact the decades.
Because inaction was in action with the Department of Charlotte, another line going from in Florida down to Tampa.
The best way to get something done, if you hold near and dear to you, that you'd like to be able to do the idea that anyway.
The idea that Johnson Cope.
But there's, you know, there to be beginning this effort.
And I want you to know that I want to thank you as well for the nature.
The nature.
Yes.
Okay, stop, stop.
I can't take anymore.
There's five minutes of him.
And these are not old clips.
These are new clips.
These are not him getting things wrong because he's a gaffe machine.
This is Biden completely lost as a human being.
It is elder abuse in the first place.
And the 25th Amendment should be invoked.
Now, the key to that is the vice president.
If the vice vice president, I believe, is the only one that can invoke it.
And you have to have, I think, at least two cabinet members to support it.
But why wouldn't the vice president do that other than she's incompetent?
Yeah.
The interesting part about a lot of these too, a lot of the just blank stares and him getting completely lost is he was doing it with a teleprompter.
He couldn't even get through it with the copy in front of him.
It's pretty amazing.
It's frightening.
And I, you know, obviously she doesn't want to be president.
Nobody wants her to be president because she could be invoking the 25th Amendment right now and everybody would understand it.
Did you see the poll that there's 86% of Americans?
86% of Americans think he's too old to run again.
So why?
Yeah, but only like 91% of independents.
Just 91.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Yeah, just 91.
Yeah.
Because it is 73% of Democrats.
703% of Democrats.
It's amazing.
It's clear.
You know, it used to be just a few of us saying, okay, look at, I mean, this is getting ridiculous.
But now every time he's, you know, play him from a year ago and he sounds like the Hulk compared to this.
Yeah.
Now he's like the husk.
He says, and I really, whatever.
Who says that?
Whatever.
There's a new study out.
Remember, he was going to repair everything.
You know, our foreign leaders, they didn't trust America anymore.
And they just, they didn't like it.
They didn't like Trump and they were going to make sure that we reintroduce ourselves and we regain our position and our honor.
No, no, not happening.
Not happening.
Apparently, the world leaders and the NATO allies are no longer seeing us as a stable and reliable friend and ally.
Of course not.
Of course not.
And everybody is talking about what Trump said about NATO.
Did you hear that this weekend, Pat?
I think I did.
I'm not remembering exactly what he said now.
Oh my gosh.
See, you're just president.
It's happening right now.
And you're a good natured, good-hearted guy.
You're a good fellow that just wants to do right.
But anyway.
So Trump apparently, well, not apparently, he did.
He said, you know, if Russia were going to attack the NATO allies, at this point, I kind of like, go do it.
Go do it.
We're going to defend them?
No, because you're not paying your fair share.
Pay your fair share and then we can actually be an alliance.
He said, but you're relying on us.
I mean, why is that so wrong to say?
Well, it shouldn't be.
I guess we're supposed to defend people no matter what.
Everybody on this planet deserves our protection, I guess, whether we've got interest, whether we're.
Except, yeah, except we'll protect them, rebuild them, and then they can padmouth us.
Yeah.
Oh.
So I'm kind of done with it?
Kind of tired of that one.
Me too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Me too.
Did you hear about Maureen Le Pen this weekend?
So she apparently is running for the French presidency.
I think it's next year.
Again?
Maybe the year after, but yeah, oh, yeah.
And for the first time, everybody, the surveys, the polls and everything else are saying she'll win.
Wow.
Yeah.
And I'm not sure if that's good or not.
It seems bad with her communist leadings.
It seems bad.
But, I mean, Macron hasn't been good.
So I don't know who should be president.
Penn is communist?
I don't think she's communist.
Maybe fascist?
Yeah, I mean, she's always called a right-wing populist.
To me, in Europe, right-wing populist usually means, yeah, fascist.
It's probably a better description than communist.
Right.
She's a collectivist.
Yes.
But, you know, she's a, and the reason why they call her racist is because she believes that France is worth saving.
And if you don't, if you just keep letting people in, you're not going to have any France left.
I mean, I would love to go back and travel the world back in the 1950s.
Wouldn't that have been amazing?
You know, I would have hated it because, you know, it took you forever to get anywhere.
But imagine going when things were untainted by other influences.
You went to China.
It really was China.
It wasn't just like us.
You went to, you know, Italy.
Even I went to Italy when I was young, when I was probably 20, 25 years old.
And I went there for work and it was completely different than it is now.
Now it's just the gap and Ann Taylor and everything else.
It's like going to Disneyland now.
So I don't think there's a problem.
And everybody on the globalist side say that, oh, you know, you can't have these people that believe in their country and nationalism.
No, not that I hate and want to make everybody the United States.
Italy's Lost Authenticity00:04:58
That's part of our problem.
I just, I think what we have here is worth preserving.
I think what Germany has is worth preserving.
What China has is worth preserving.
Japan, Italy, France, Ireland, Scotland, all worth preserving.
What's so racist about that?
Back in a minute.
Sponsor this half hour is Pre-Born.
A baby's heart begins to beat at three weeks.
Did you know that?
At five weeks, it could be heard on an ultrasound.
The eyes are forming a week after that.
And by 10 weeks, that baby is capable of sucking his or her thumb.
Now, when does it become a human being?
I don't know.
Maybe at birth, maybe, you know, I don't know.
Six weeks when the heart stops.
I don't want to take a chance myself.
Pre-born is leading the way in the effort to rescue babies from abortion, but they can't do it without people in the pro-life movement like you and me.
We are the gas that keeps the engine running.
I think the best way to save babies is to save the baby and the mom.
Not to shout down, not to, you know, talk about bloody killers or anything like that, but to love the mom and the child and try to save both of them.
When a mom sees their precious little baby on ultrasound, the baby's chance at life doubles.
Then the other problem is moms feel alone, like they don't have anything to, anybody to help, anybody to support.
Well, that's again where pre-born steps in.

You know, and that's the other thing that I don't think people understand.
You know, there's, it's not only, it's not only that we're destroying our own cultures with these open borders, and it's not just America.
Do not believe that it's just America.
It's not America that is going through this.
It's the entire West.
Everyone is experienced this, and it's because of the open border policies preached by the WEF.
It's not just the want to preserve culture.
It's also, you know, I would like to keep crime down.
Some of the shocking crime that we're seeing now is 100% avoidable.
100% avoidable.
There was a gang rape in Italy, and it's, you know, it's not good.
A group of seven men and teenage boys between the ages of 15 and 18 are on trial for the rape of a 19-year-old girl, small town in Italy.
Weeks later, nine young men were arrested and charged with allegedly raping two cousins aged 10 and 12.
They broadcast the attack live on social media, so it wasn't real hard to find them.
The girl had been raped so many times in a very short period of time.
She got pregnant and the DNA, it was clear who the father was with the DNA from the child, but She had so many different men inside of her that they had no idea when she arrived at the hospital.
The rape was, they could just see that it was multiple people.
Is that necessary?
I mean, rape happens in all cultures, but why does it have to happen here?
Because our law enforcement isn't doing their job.
Our government isn't doing our job and they're allowing people in that don't have our same values or just bad people.
No, thank you.
We have our own bad people.
Thank you.
I think we're full up of bad people.
We're trying to work it out so there's fewer bad people in our own pool of people here in America.

War With The Liberal West00:13:35
Okay, let me tell you about Life Lock.
It's really, really easy.
I hate it when you go online.
You know, you're looking for love and, you know, you're just there and you're a picture and everybody's like, no, swipe.
No, swipe.
No.
And you're like, hey, how is this going to happen?
How am I ever going to find, how am I ever going to find love?
Especially, then you get excited because you realize, you know, you're like, hey, they're interested, but it's just a scammer stealing your identity.
Yeah, that's really what it's becoming.
Like romance scams, especially this week as we celebrate whatever that Valentine thing is.
It'll cost billions of dollars over the year.
Not Valentine's Day, although that does the same thing.
But the people who are being scammed, who are out looking for partners, it's amazing what these scammers will do to get your identity.
Please protect your identity.
The best way to do it is LifeLock by Norton.
LifeLock, it's lifelock.com, or you can call 1-800Lifelock or lifelock.com.

So I told you last week that I wanted to watch the Tucker Carlson interview with Putin.
And I would watch it with eyes of how would I deal with Vladimir Putin if I were there in Tucker's shoes.
And I warned that people are looking for an American dictator.
On the right, on the left, they're already doing it through the administrative state.
And the right is starting to toy with this idea of Christian nationalism and just forget the Constitution.
No, no, no, at least I won't.
I talked to you about Dugan and how Dugan would be pushing Putin to talk about our immorality, transgenderism, loss of faith.
And I said, you can maybe let him get away with it one time, but then you have to cut it off and say, This isn't about America and her people.
You want to talk about the American war machine, the president or Congress or something, go ahead and we'll listen.
But I was expecting Putin to spin the angle, you know, on drugs and how unsafe our country is and everything else.
But he didn't.
I think part of that is because Tucker Carlson did a really good job, you know, outside of the containing him for, what, 45 minutes talking about the history of Europe, which, whew.
But he did not allow him to go in and talk outside of the war.
And I think that that was fair game.
I mean, it's exactly what Hitler would have done, Mussolini would have done, and Stalin would have done and did to our press over here.
It's important to see the other side.
To me, he didn't say anything new.
Maybe to some people.
But what Putin was talking about was the fact that we created this Ukrainian problem and we did.
And I outlined it on my giant chalkboard about Ukraine during President Trump's impeachment hearings.
We showed you all of the stuff that Putin was talking about.
It's true.
Those things are true.
I don't like it, but we have to recognize it as true so we don't get wrapped up in another war.
And we at least know the truth of why we're probably in this war.
Now, that doesn't make Putin correct on the war, right?
I'm not a supporter of Putin or anything else.
But let me tell you now how it's being spun in Russia by Alexander Dugan.
And he wrote this on X.
So now everyone in the world can read what I've been telling you about Dugan.
Listen to this because at first it sounds, oh, okay.
And it gets worse and worse and worse.
Tucker Putin and the apocalypse.
Why Tucker Carlson's interview is considered pivotal for both the West and Russia.
If I were Tucker Carlson, I would write an op-ed about this op-ed immediately.
Let's start with a simpler part.
He says, Russia.
Here, Tucker Carlson has become a focal point of two polar opposites within the Russian society, ideological patriots and elite westernizers.
He believes elite westernizers are the intellectual elite that just say, let's just become part of the West.
And the ideological patriots are saying, no, we're Russian and we have God on our side, etc., etc.
For patriots, Tucker Carlson is simply one of us.
He's a traditionalist.
I've warned you about that word, traditionalism.
It means something different when people like Dugan are saying it.
He's a right-wing conservative, a staunch opponent to liberalism.
Well, he is, but not in the way Dugan means.
Dugan is for the end of all modernity.
Understand what that means.
The end of all modernity.
He believes the world should be pushed back to the way the world was before the Enlightenment.
I don't think Tucker's for that.
The attention the Kremlin pays him ignites the patriot's heart, inspiring a continuation of a conservative traditional course in Russia herself.
Russian power has defined its ideology.
We have embarked on this path and we will not deviate from it.
Yet patriots are always afraid we will.
No.
On the other hand, the westernizers sighed with relief, seeing not everyone in the West is bad and there are good and objective people.
Let us be friends with such a West.
I think the Westernizers, even if the rest of the globalist liberal West doesn't want to be friends, but only bombards us with sanctions and missiles and cluster bombs, killing our women and children and elderly.
We are at war with the liberal West.
So let there at least be friendship with the conservative West.
Warning Russian patriots and Russian westernizers, increasingly more Russian and less Western, have come to the consensus in the figure of Tucker Carlson.
In the West, everything is even more fundamental.
Tucker Carlson is a symbolic figure.
He is now the main symbol of America and what America hates in Biden, liberals and globalists, and are preparing to vote for Trump.
Trump, Carlson, Musk, and even Texas Governor Abbott are the faces of the looming American revolution, this time a conservative revolution.
To this already powerful resource, Russia connects.
No, it's not about Putin supporting Trump, which could easily be dismissed, blah, blah, blah.
But Carlson's visit was something else.
Biden and his maniacs have effectively attacked a great nuclear power through the hands of Kiev's unleashed terrorist.
The humanity is on the verge of destruction.
Nothing more and nothing less.
The globalist media continue to spin a Marvel series for infants where Spider-Man Zelensky magically wins with superpowers and magical pigs against the Kremlin's Dr. Evil.
However, this is just a cheap, silly series.
In reality, everything is heading toward the use of nuclear weapons and the possible destruction of humanity.
This is where Dugan is always dismissed, and I urge you, dismiss him at your own peril.
Dismiss him just like you've dismissed the leadership of Iran at your own peril.
Tucker Carlson conducts a reality check.
Does the West understand what it's doing, pushing the world toward the apocalypse?
There is a real Putin and a real Russia.
These are not stage characters and settings from Marvel.
Look what the globalists have done and how close we are to it.
It's not about the content of the interview with Putin.
It's the fact that a person like Tucker Carlson is visiting a country like Russia to meet a political figure like Putin at such a critical time.
Tucker Carlson's trip to Moscow might be the last chance to stop the disappearance of humanity itself.
The world can only be saved by stopping right now.
For that, America must choose Trump and Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk and Greg Abbott.
Then we have a chance to pause on the brink of the abyss.
Compared to this, everything else is secondary.
Liberalism and its agenda have led humanity to a dead end.
Now the choice is this, either liberals or humanity.
Tucker Carlson chooses humanity, which is why he came to Moscow to meet with Putin.
The whole world understands why he came and how important it is.
Alexander Dugan.
Boy, I would not run him writing something like that about me.
And I don't think that Tucker Carlson necessarily did anything to deserve that.
I'm not aware of how aware Tucker Carlson is of Alexander Dugan.
I've never talked to him about it.
I would like to, actually.
I've invited him on the program.
But remember, when he says we're fighting liberalism, in reality, I am a classical liberal.
That means that I am for the Bill of Rights.
I want a small government.
I believe that I should answer for my own actions and you should answer for your own actions.
The Bill of Rights is supreme.
That's classic liberalism.
So when he says the West's liberalism, that's what he actually means, not what we say liberalism is.
We say liberal, oh, the liberals are out of control, the leftists.
No, he's against freedom of choice.
He is for, he says The only thing wrong with Hitler is he didn't go far enough.
He is a doomsday prophet that believes that doomsday must come to wash the world in blood.
See if this sounds familiar.
He's also the guy who has opened the door and the key relationship between the Iranian 12ers and Russia, the leaderships of Iran, and brought that Gog and Magog together.
It's Dugan.
They have one thing in common.
Chaos leads to the rebirth of the world.
One thinks the Imam coming is coming.
The supporters of Dugan believe that means Christ will come.
And Dugan just believes that that's the way that Russia controls the entire world in the end.
Very dangerous.
Very, very dangerous.

Hannah wrote in about her experience with Relief Factory.
She says, Relief Factor got me out of pain.
I can now work in my flower garden, walk my dog, run up and down my stairs without being in pain all the time.
I also sleep through the night, which never used to happen at all.
I used to have to have an ice pack on my knee.
I don't need it anymore.
Thank you.
Hannah, what a great way to get your life back.

You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.
Sit tight, boys and girls.
We'll be right back after these messages.
I was just thinking, I'm saying, if you were a teacher in my high school, okay, or a professor, I would intentionally go to college over and over and over again and take your class because you're one of the most entertaining teachers out there.
You make me laugh, you make me think, you piss me off, you get me to reminisce, all of that stuff combined.
Happy birthday to your very special guy, and I'm glad to be a part of it.
I'm sure you're around a bunch of your friends and family enjoying this wherever this is going to be played.
Much love from me and us to you, Glenn.
Happy birthday.
That's Patrick Bett David, who I got a bunch of these people sending me these greetings over the weekend, and it was really, really very easy and flattering.
And we played a lot of them, but we have not yet gotten to producer Bob, one of our producers at Baltimore, who has called in and been on hold for a long time.
You know, the guy you fired for the because he had the wrong pen that day.
Remember that?
Oh, my God.
That guy?
It wasn't.
Yeah.
You don't even remember his name.
It's not Bob.
That's not really Bob.
Yeah, it's really Bob.
Yeah, yeah.
Bob, are you there?
Hello.
Yeah, hi.
Yeah.
Yes.
Hey.
Glenn, great to talk to you.
Happy 60th.
That's great.
Yeah.
Listen, I just want to.
Kind of sound like Pat.
No, no.
This is Bob, the producer from Baltimore.
Okay.
Wanted to call out.
All right.
Say thanks for fighting.
What's your last name?
Yeah, what's your last name, Bob?
Bob Davis.
Bob Davis.
Bob David.
Yeah, he fired me for bringing you the wrong kind of Sharpie that day in 1991.
Remember that?
Listen, losing my job back then gave me a real chance to experience life on the street.
I was able to learn how to stay alive on the streets of Baltimore, Maryland with nothing but an old shopping cart and a burlap sack from Scop and Shop.
So then you're taking good out of this.
Yeah, I'm grateful.
I actually became so accustomed to the freezing cold temperatures that now I'm immune to any temperature below 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
So there's that.
Appreciate it.
Right.
Listen, since I have graduated from living in that shopping cart to the burned-out remains of the DeLorean you left behind when you and Pat left town.
So thanks for leaving town.
Yeah.
Appreciate that again.
Yeah.
But yeah, happy birthday.
Happy 60th.
And Joe, have one more.
One more.
Not many more.
Just one.
Just one.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you, Bob.
Happy birthday.
Appreciate that.
And I want to thank my best friend, Pat, for bringing that up as well.
I just took the call one of the lowest points of my life.
I just took the call.
That's all I did.
That's all you did.
Nothing else to do.
Nothing to do with it.
You know what?
You've come a long way since then, since the Bob incident.
You've come a long way.
You know, that is really true.
I mean, it is true.
I hate to say this, but you brought it up.
That's how bad of a human being I was.
I actually, and I remember Pat and I went and we had to go to this thing, and all we had to do was sign autographs.
I mean, it's the easiest gig in the world, but I'm like 20-something and arrogant, and I believe my own garbage.
And this kid, he brings a non-sharpie, he just brings a pen.
Regular pen.
And yeah, and I look at him and I said, I only signed with Sharpies.
And I told you this last week, you're fired.
And he was like, ha ha ha.
And I'm like, get out right now.
You're fired.
I fired him.
Horrible, horrible human being.
Pat comes back and he's like, where's Bob?
And I'm like, I let him go.
He's like, you what?
I said, I let him go.
The guy didn't bring us Sharpies, Pat.
Pat just looked at me and went, You are a monster, and hired him back the next day.
Much to me, much to my chagrin.
I thought Bob deserved to be living in the shopping cart.
What a horrible.
I don't know why you were friends with me then, Pat.
