=== John Roberts' Healthcare Plan (15:07) ===

[00:00:00]  Let me talk to you a little bit about our sponsor.
[00:00:02]  Yeah, President Trump said it, and of course I could not agree more that Obamacare is a disaster.
[00:00:07]  No.
[00:00:07]  Yeah.
[00:00:07]  Wait, true.
[00:00:08]  John Roberts has a plan.
[00:00:09]  That's true.
[00:00:10]  The costs, of course, are outrageous.
[00:00:12]  In some cases, you'll pay over $10,000 out of pocket before coverage even kicks in.
[00:00:17]  And if you fall through one of the system's many cracks, you could be left with no coverage at all.
[00:00:22]  There's something new, something better.
[00:00:24]  It's called Ease for Everyone.
[00:00:25]  And it's exactly, I think, what you might be waiting for if you're dealing with all this healthcare craziness.
[00:00:30]  This is the only group plan in America that any adult can join, regardless of where you live, what you earn, or who you work for.
[00:00:37]  Ease is a free market solution.
[00:00:40]  For as little as $262 a month, you get free and unlimited virtual primary care, unlimited $30 copay visits to urgent care, and generous cashback reimbursements for surgeries, hospital stays, ER visits, all the rest.
[00:00:53]  There are no open enrollment windows and no qualifying event hoops to jump through.
[00:00:58]  It's just real coverage for real people.
[00:01:00]  Join this fight for freedom and once and for all, say no to Obamacare and yes to ease for everyone.

[00:02:03]  Now let's get to work.
[00:02:48]  Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
[00:02:53]  The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
[00:02:57]  This is the Glenn Beck program.
[00:03:03]  Hello, America.
[00:03:04]  It's Thursday.
[00:03:05]  We've got a lot to talk about.
[00:03:10]  We've got people talking about the Maryland man, the Maryland man.
[00:03:14]  The Maryland man?
[00:03:16]  When did he become the Maryland man?
[00:03:18]  They're going to talk a little bit about the Maryland man and where he should be.
[00:03:24]  Also, the media, while they're paying attention to the Maryland man, they're not talking about the Pennsylvania man that tried to kill the governor just last week.
[00:03:36]  And it's also Easter week.
[00:03:37]  And we're going to talk about tariffs and the Fed and everything else.
[00:03:41]  So stand by.
[00:03:42]  We begin in 60 seconds.
[00:03:43]  First, you know, the First Amendment wasn't written for the speech you like.
[00:03:46]  It was written for the speech you don't like.
[00:03:49]  I mean, you don't need to protect whenever it's like, you know what?
[00:03:52]  You are the greatest.
[00:03:53]  You're the greatest.
[00:03:54]  You're like, you know what?
[00:03:56]  We better protect that speech.
[00:03:58]  I'm not going to try to silence that speech.
[00:04:01]  Speech is protected when it's something everybody says.
[00:04:06]  Stop saying that.
[00:04:08]  Now, how ironic and scary is it that the platforms and the pipelines that carry your voice the furthest are controlled by people you often don't believe in, you know, and they don't believe in the freedom that you have.
[00:04:20]  We have watched the left crack down on ideas they don't like for decades, shutting down debate, throttling content, cutting off people who dare to think differently.
[00:04:28]  And you know who's been aligned with them the whole time?
[00:04:31]  A lot of the major mobile carriers.
[00:04:33]  Oh, you mean the ones that were triangulating grandma who was in DC on January 6th?
[00:04:39]  Didn't even need a warrant.
[00:04:40]  Just, hey, I want to tell you who was there.
[00:04:43]  This old lady was there.
[00:04:44]  She's got something going on.
[00:04:46]  This is why Patriot Mobile exists.
[00:04:48]  They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
[00:04:51]  They have built a network that supports rights enshrined in our Constitution, not just with words, but with the money you send them and with their actions.
[00:05:00]  You still get reliable nationwide 5G coverage, excellent U.S.-based customer service, and a peace of mind that comes with knowing that your money isn't working against everything you believe.
[00:05:08]  So make the switch today.
[00:05:10]  PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.
[00:05:12]  972 Patriot, 972 Patriot or PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.
[00:05:18]  Well, hello, Stu.
[00:05:19]  How are you?
[00:05:20]  I'm very well, Glenn.
[00:05:22]  Very well.
[00:05:22]  Thank you for asking.
[00:05:23]  Good, good, good.
[00:05:24]  I want to start with an apology.
[00:05:26]  You know, I always say lead with your mistakes, right?
[00:05:29]  And I made a horrible, horrible mistake by mocking the women astronauts.
[00:05:37]  You did?
[00:05:37]  Yes, yes.
[00:05:38]  Yesterday, we talked about those brave, brave women that went into space.
[00:05:44]  And we said it was frivolous.
[00:05:47]  We said they were goofy.
[00:05:49]  We said that doesn't make you an astronaut.
[00:05:52]  But I stand corrected.
[00:05:55]  Here's Gail King.
[00:05:56]  Cut 22, please.
[00:05:58]  This is what bothers me because I've certainly read some of the things online coming from people that I know, that I like, that I consider friends.
[00:06:07]  And this is what I would say to that.
[00:06:09]  Space is not an either-or.
[00:06:11]  It's a both-and.
[00:06:12]  And because you do something in space doesn't mean you're taking anything away from Earth.
[00:06:17]  And what you're doing in space is trying to make things better here on Earth.
[00:06:21]  What Blue Origin wants to do is take the waste here and figure out a way to put it in space to make our planet cleaner.
[00:06:27]  I mean, Jeff Bezos has so many ideas, and the people that are working there are really devoted and dedicated to making our planet a better place.
[00:06:34]  That's number one.
[00:06:35]  Number two, have you been?
[00:06:38]  Have you been?
[00:06:39]  If you've been and you still feel that way after you come back, please let's have a conversation.
[00:06:44]  Number three, please don't call it a ride.
[00:06:47]  That is not a friggin' ride.
[00:06:48]  Whenever a man goes up, you have never said to an astronaut, boy, what a ride.
[00:06:52]  You know, we duplicated the same trajectory that Alan Shepard did back in the day, pretty much.
[00:06:58]  No one called that a ride.
[00:07:00]  It was called a flight.
[00:07:01]  It was called a journey because a ride implies that it's something frivolous or something that's lighthearted.
[00:07:07]  There was nothing frivolous about what we did.
[00:07:09]  Yes, it throws a lot of money and the machine that we were on and what it took for the people to get that machine up and running to get us up and get us back down safely.
[00:07:19]  So, you know, I'm very disappointed.
[00:07:21]  Very saddened by it.
[00:07:22]  And I also say this: what it's doing to inspire other women and young girls, please don't ignore that.
[00:07:29]  Oh, I've had so many women and young girls reach out to me.
[00:07:32]  And men too, by the way, men too, that say, Wow, I never thought I could do that.
[00:07:36]  But I see you doing it at this stage of my life.
[00:07:38]  Who would have thought it?
[00:07:40]  Not me.
[00:07:40]  Not you.
[00:07:41]  And how inspired they are.
[00:07:42]  Yes.
[00:07:43]  Because she trained for a very long time.
[00:07:45]  She's worked her whole life for this opportunity.
[00:07:48]  And don't demean her.
[00:07:49]  Her whole life?
[00:07:49]  Her whole life.
[00:07:50]  She's working much of her life.
[00:07:52]  Well, a couple of hours last week, she was working on it.
[00:07:55]  And I don't.
[00:07:56]  Well, can we just start from the beginning?
[00:07:58]  I mean, this is just, I mean, unpack this one.
[00:08:01]  Jeff Bezos is looking to take our garbage and throw what she said, waste.
[00:08:09]  Our garbage and eject it into space.
[00:08:14]  Is that, I mean, have you heard that plan?
[00:08:16]  I haven't heard that plan.
[00:08:17]  I was thinking maybe she was referring to like some emissions situation.
[00:08:21]  Like maybe she's thinking of like what we're going to bottle up.
[00:08:25]  No, I don't think it's going to be on the ship.
[00:08:28]  The plan certainly can't be.
[00:08:31]  We're going.
[00:08:31]  Could you play that?
[00:08:32]  Nuclear waste.
[00:08:33]  We just planned.
[00:08:34]  We're going to shoot nuclear waste into space.
[00:08:37]  That's okay now.
[00:08:38]  I'm not saying it's okay.
[00:08:40]  That's the playout?
[00:08:42]  Could you play just the beginning of that?
[00:08:43]  This is new information.
[00:08:45]  This is what bothers me.
[00:08:46]  Yes.
[00:08:47]  Because I've certainly read some of the things online coming from people that I know.
[00:08:51]  Yes.
[00:08:51]  That I like.
[00:08:52]  That I consider friends.
[00:08:53]  Right.
[00:08:54]  And this is what I would say to that.
[00:08:56]  Space is not an either-or.
[00:08:58]  Not an either.
[00:08:59]  It's a both and.
[00:09:00]  And because you do something in space doesn't mean you're taking anything away from Earth.
[00:09:04]  Okay, stop, right there.
[00:09:07]  First of all, may I just play?
[00:09:09]  May I just play?
[00:09:10]  Because I remember the people who stopped us going to the moon and everything, they were the ones who said, what are we doing?
[00:09:16]  We have enough.
[00:09:17]  We've got problems here.
[00:09:18]  Why are we going into space?
[00:09:19]  They're still saying that.
[00:09:20]  Why are we going into space?
[00:09:21]  What difference?
[00:09:23]  We have people we could feed here.
[00:09:24]  Okay.
[00:09:25]  All right.
[00:09:25]  Let me just remind you, 1997.
[00:09:30]  Here's Bob Odenkirk and David Cross.
[00:09:32]  Listen to this.
[00:09:33]  Thank you very much.
[00:09:34]  We have an announcement to make on July 4th of this year.
[00:09:38]  America will blow up the moon.
[00:09:41]  We think the monkey's 100% right.
[00:09:43]  We're spending so much money, millions of dollars to blow up the moon when there's so much right here on Earth to blow up.
[00:09:50]  Mount Everest, the North Pole, etc.
[00:09:53]  We're earthlings.
[00:09:54]  Let's blow up Earth things.
[00:09:56]  We're Earthlings.
[00:10:02]  I mean.
[00:10:06]  And they blow up the moon.
[00:10:08]  I mean, let's blow up Earth things.
[00:10:11]  Right.
[00:10:11]  I mean, I think this is probably, you know, this is funny for a reason because we've heard that argument over and over again from people like her.
[00:10:21]  Okay.
[00:10:22]  I don't know if she's ever said it, but I know people she thinks are friends definitely say that.
[00:10:28]  Okay.
[00:10:29]  So then her next comment is, why is Bezos going up?
[00:10:34]  Here.
[00:10:35]  Play the rest of it, please.
[00:10:37]  From Gail King.
[00:10:38]  Or it's a both and.
[00:10:40]  And because you do something in space doesn't mean you're taking anything away from Earth.
[00:10:45]  And what you're doing in space is trying to make things better here on Earth.
[00:10:49]  Okay.
[00:10:49]  What Blue Origin wants to do is take the waste here and figure out a way to put it in space to make our planet cleaner.
[00:10:55]  Okay, so I'm pretty sure that's what she's saying.
[00:10:58]  Let's take the garbage, whatever that garbage is, and shoot it into space.
[00:11:03]  I've never heard that plan.
[00:11:04]  Sarah, is it just me?
[00:11:05]  Have you heard that plan?
[00:11:06]  I mean, never.
[00:11:07]  Okay, I'm just a casual observer of all of this, but I think that would have stood out to me.
[00:11:14]  You know?
[00:11:15]  Yeah, I'm trying to.
[00:11:16]  Especially to those on the left, especially if it's like nuclear way.
[00:11:20]  We're just going to take all of our nuclear waste and just shoot it out into space.
[00:11:24]  I don't think that's a good idea.
[00:11:26]  I mean, they're definitely doing stuff with like trying to figure out how to deal with waste that is generated in space, right?
[00:11:34]  Like that's definitely not making the Earth a color.
[00:11:39]  It's not like we're going to take all the space junk and bring it back to Earth.
[00:11:44]  Yeah, I mean, it's crazy.
[00:11:46]  I'm trying, just going through it.
[00:11:48]  I don't see anything.
[00:11:49]  Then she goes on.
[00:11:50]  Then she goes on.
[00:11:51]  Okay.
[00:11:52]  So we got two of them.
[00:11:53]  Two of them.
[00:11:54]  One.
[00:11:54]  Already insane.
[00:11:55]  Two.
[00:11:55]  Already insane things.
[00:11:57]  Then she says, and don't talk to me unless you've been.
[00:12:02]  Unless you've been there.
[00:12:04]  So we can't have a conversation about space.
[00:12:06]  You're not a woman and you're not a female astronaut or a male astronaut.
[00:12:10]  So you can't talk about anything that has to do with females and you can't have anything to do with, are you an astronaut?
[00:12:15]  No, you're not an astronaut.
[00:12:16]  Don't talk to me about space.
[00:12:18]  You know, you're a flat earther.
[00:12:20]  I've been to space.
[00:12:21]  Have you been to space?
[00:12:22]  I mean, that is insane.
[00:12:23]  That's insane.
[00:12:24]  That's insane.
[00:12:25]  If you're going to do that, Gail, I would just like, you know, reciprocal tariff here.
[00:12:29]  Have you ever been president?
[00:12:31]  No, don't talk about the president anymore.
[00:12:33]  Just don't.
[00:12:34]  Just don't.
[00:12:35]  You're not qualified.
[00:12:36]  You've never been president.
[00:12:37]  So stop talking about the president.
[00:12:39]  And I'm concerned because for the first astronaut that ever went into space, no one had been there before.
[00:12:45]  Could they talk about it before they go?
[00:12:48]  No, what's the rule of that?
[00:12:49]  No.
[00:12:49]  It's just so utterly stupid.
[00:12:51]  Which brings me to comparing yourself to Alan Shepard.
[00:12:55]  Alan Shepard.
[00:12:57]  I will tell you this.
[00:12:57]  When Alan Shepard came back and re-entered, he wasn't going, he wasn't doing that.
[00:13:05]  Okay.
[00:13:06]  All right.
[00:13:07]  You ladies were, but, you know, it wasn't a ride.
[00:13:11]  Although it sounded an awful lot like, you know, the sounds of like a roller coaster, it sounded like a ride, like you were on a ride, feels like you were on a ride.
[00:13:23]  And, you know what?
[00:13:24]  What exactly?
[00:13:24]  Because when I go in the car and somebody else is driving, it's really kind of a ride.
[00:13:30]  You know, if I'm, if I'm, and it's even more of a ride, if I'm just put into a seat, strapped in, then I have nothing I can do except wait for the person to come and push that bar forward so I can get out of the ride.
[00:13:49]  And that's really what you did.
[00:13:50]  You got in, somebody else strapped you in.
[00:13:51]  You went up for four minutes.
[00:13:53]  You came down.
[00:13:53]  It's like a carning ride.
[00:13:55]  The only difference between a carnival ride and this one, yes, you wasted a lot.
[00:14:01]  You just burned CO2 like crazy.
[00:14:04]  You hurt the earth, but you didn't do anything scientific.
[00:14:08]  Okay.
[00:14:09]  You just went up and you came back.
[00:14:11]  And, you know, great.
[00:14:12]  I'd do it if I were asked, but I wouldn't come back and say it was an astronaut and declare that it wasn't a ride.
[00:14:17]  And somehow or another, I have special powers now because it wasn't a ride.
[00:14:21]  The only thing missing between this and a ride was toothless carny workers that opened the door.
[00:14:28]  And you know what?
[00:14:29]  Jeff Bezos, did you see him open the door?
[00:14:31]  He closed the door because, oh no, you got to open it with a key.
[00:14:35]  His wife was inside.
[00:14:36]  Let me out.
[00:14:37]  Let me out.
[00:14:37]  I want to have sex with you.
[00:14:39]  I want to have sex with you.
[00:14:40]  I want to have sex with her.
[00:14:42]  And so she opens the door.
[00:14:44]  He closes it and then walks around for a while and then reaches into his pocket to get like a key to open up the door.
[00:14:51]  Was so bizarre, so bizarre, so i'm not sure the Carney workers weren't there right, they might have been, maybe he's the equivalent, I just that's.
[00:15:01]  So it's so bizarre to to to claim this.
[00:15:04]  It's like, obviously that was just a ride, it was, that doesn't.

=== The Bizarre Wetsuit Astronaut (10:10) ===

[00:15:07]  It has nothing to do with them being women, like I mean, i'm thinking back to like uh, was it Krista Mccauliffe the the, the teacher on uh, you mean the astronaut, just like Gail King, but like, but legitimately always referred to as an, as an astronaut, like she was the first teacher yeah right, like.
[00:15:22]  What went on?
[00:15:23]  Of course, you know unfortunately, uh blew up um, it was the challenger right challenger yeah um so, but like, she was never demeaned as like oh, she's just going for a ride like because, at least my perception was as a kid.
[00:15:34]  I remember, you know, I was.
[00:15:35]  I watched that one in school.
[00:15:37]  What a, what a wonderful day that was uh, but like they showed her as someone who was not only just a teacher on for a ride but had trained for months and months and months and months for the mission to be an astronaut.
[00:15:50]  To be an astronaut yeah right right, like.
[00:15:52]  That's how I perceived her.
[00:15:53]  She was a woman, by the way.
[00:15:54]  Right right um, right.
[00:15:55]  So well, Gail King can talk about her, you can't.
[00:15:58]  Um, here's the thing.
[00:15:59]  Um, I don't think by Gail King saying that she went up in a four-minute trip.
[00:16:05]  Okay, four minutes.
[00:16:07]  She was in space.
[00:16:08]  For what?
[00:16:09]  45 seconds a minute, maybe four minute trip, that's up and back.
[00:16:16]  I think it was four up and four down, wasn't it?
[00:16:17]  I think it was eight minutes total, was it eight minutes?
[00:16:19]  Something like that?
[00:16:20]  Oh wow, wow.
[00:16:21]  So now, what are you saying?
[00:16:23]  Gosh, that's at least eight times the time that Jeff Bezos has ever spent on it.
[00:16:31]  Anyway uh, I know where you're going with that one.
[00:16:35]  That was up and down.
[00:16:36]  Okay, all right so uh anyway uh, I don't think it's demeaning at all to the first woman in space who gave her life to go to space, to compare yourself not just to Alan Shepherd, but to uh, but to Christy Mccauliffe who trained for it.
[00:16:55]  You're now declaring you're an astronaut.
[00:16:59]  Can you imagine if I went into space and I came back?
[00:17:02]  Elon Musk says, we're gonna, we're gonna, launch Glenn into space?
[00:17:05]  First of all, that would be the left's greatest joy.
[00:17:09]  Somebody saying we're gonna launch him into space.
[00:17:11]  They would love that.
[00:17:12]  But then he would say well, we're gonna bring him back, And that would be the problem.
[00:17:16]  But if I came back and I said, I'm an astronaut, don't talk about space.
[00:17:20]  Have you been there?
[00:17:21]  Don't talk to me about space.
[00:17:23]  This wasn't just a ride.
[00:17:24]  Can you imagine what would be said?
[00:17:27]  Rightfully so.
[00:17:29]  Can you imagine what would be said?
[00:17:33]  Unbelievable.
[00:17:36]  Unbelievable.
[00:17:38]  By the way, I happen to have the flag that landed on the beaches of Normandy.
[00:17:43]  So don't talk to me about Normandy.
[00:17:44]  I've been there.
[00:17:45]  Okay.
[00:17:45]  I've been there.
[00:17:46]  I was there.
[00:17:46]  I was there.
[00:17:47]  I witnessed it.
[00:17:48]  I'm just as much as a hero as anybody, as Gail King is, honestly.
[00:17:52]  I mean, I'm looking for the medal that I'm going to get for my time on the beaches of Normandy because I have that.
[00:18:02]  I have the Ruby Slippers over there too.
[00:18:04]  I was in, did you know that?
[00:18:06]  I'm Dorothy.
[00:18:07]  I'm Dorothy.
[00:18:07]  Not that one, I believe.
[00:18:09]  Wait a minute.
[00:18:09]  What?
[00:18:10]  I believe you put those things on when no one's around the museum.
[00:18:14]  No, feet are too big.
[00:18:15]  Oh, yeah, unfortunately.
[00:18:16]  You've tried.
[00:18:17]  But I just, there is a really weird reaction to this, right?
[00:18:21]  Like, the proper thing is to say, like, these astronauts that do this every day are incredible.
[00:18:27]  And we're just there.
[00:18:29]  We're trying to experience a little slight piece of what a whole lot of people are doing.
[00:18:32]  The unbelievable response.
[00:18:35]  It's something humble.
[00:18:36]  What is that?
[00:18:38]  Does she really that?
[00:18:40]  Like, does she have no self-awareness at all, how pathetic this looks?
[00:18:43]  Yes.
[00:18:44]  Not to mention, like, the only reason she's there is because she's got, you know, connections in the media.
[00:18:48]  Correct.
[00:18:49]  And knows people.
[00:18:50]  She's not even like I don't know The whole thing is just disgusting.
[00:18:55]  right i i just just admit you know do you know how many women are inspired by this You know, I mean, women.
[00:19:03]  I also want to be very wealthy and connected is not a new thing we need to be motivated for.
[00:19:10]  All right.

[00:20:16]  10 seconds station id you know i was invited to uh drive a pace car uh around uh the daytona 500 track a few years ago and And so, well, I'm not going to talk to you about it because you're not a race car driver like I am.
[00:20:44]  That's the new statement.
[00:20:45]  That is really it.
[00:20:46]  God, I mean, I drove a pace car around the Daytona 500.
[00:20:54]  That would be like me now coming on and saying.
[00:20:57]  You drove a pace car.
[00:20:59]  You drove it.
[00:21:00]  You're right.
[00:21:01]  You are way more qualified to talk about the Daytona 500 than you're.
[00:21:05]  I mean, you actually gone around the track.
[00:21:06]  Yeah.
[00:21:07]  You're right.
[00:21:07]  You're right.
[00:21:08]  She's done.
[00:21:09]  I never thought of it.
[00:21:11]  She didn't do anything.
[00:21:12]  She rode in a vehicle.
[00:21:14]  If you were a passenger in that car, then perhaps that would be the equivalent.
[00:21:18]  But you're not sure.
[00:21:19]  My son is equivalent to Gail King.
[00:21:22]  Yes.
[00:21:23]  And, oh my gosh, I'm better than Gail King.
[00:21:27]  Wow.
[00:21:28]  That's what, what an achievement.
[00:21:29]  What an achievement that is.
[00:21:30]  You've unlocked level zero.
[00:21:33]  I can go to the next level, which is start.
[00:21:39]  You keep saying it, and it's true.
[00:21:41]  Like, I'm sure it was a blast, right?
[00:21:43]  Like, it was great.
[00:21:44]  It would be a lot of fun.
[00:21:45]  There's nothing frivolous about this.
[00:21:46]  It was totally frivolous.
[00:21:47]  No.
[00:21:48]  It's 100% frivolous.
[00:21:49]  Okay, look, she got on because of her grand, grand accomplishments inside.
[00:21:55]  And the same thing with the singer, whoever she was.
[00:21:59]  Katie Perry.
[00:22:00]  And Jeff Bezos' wife or girlfriend was there.
[00:22:04]  Well, she's a surgeon.
[00:22:06]  Well, I mean, she's had a lot of surgery.
[00:22:07]  So I would count that as a surgeon, wouldn't you?
[00:22:09]  Of course.
[00:22:10]  She's the only one qualified to talk about it.
[00:22:12]  Yeah.
[00:22:13]  She's the only one that could talk about plastics and surgery.
[00:22:18]  And now an astronaut, too.
[00:22:22]  It's okay to just have a fun experience.
[00:22:25]  Maybe you didn't change the world with your little ride into the.
[00:22:28]  No, she did.
[00:22:29]  Maybe she didn't.
[00:22:30]  No, she's think about the fact.
[00:22:32]  No, she did.
[00:22:33]  She did.
[00:22:33]  Do you know how many people are, you know how many, you know how many women got up this morning and went, wow, I could be an astronaut.
[00:22:39]  I could be an astronaut.
[00:22:41]  You know?
[00:22:42]  No.
[00:22:43]  Without any kind of preparation.
[00:22:45]  I could put on a wetsuit, you know, a blue wetsuit so it looks like I'm going into space, but it's not a space suit.
[00:22:50]  It's a wetsuit.
[00:22:51]  I guess in case you've, what, crash into the ocean, which is right there in the middle of the desert.
[00:22:57]  I'm not sure why they were wearing wetsuits, but she could wear a wetsuit and be an astronaut.
[00:23:03]  Like, and just it's a basic question.
[00:23:05]  Could she have worn pajamas on this flight?
[00:23:07]  Yes.
[00:23:07]  Did she need the space suit?
[00:23:08]  I don't think so.
[00:23:09]  Isn't this just her?
[00:23:10]  She's just in a vehicle.
[00:23:11]  Nope.
[00:23:12]  She could have been in flannels.
[00:23:14]  I contend they could have, you know, given her all the instructions she needed while they were strapping her in.
[00:23:20]  And she could have just pulled up in a car, rolled right out of bed.
[00:23:23]  I'm sorry, I just wearing my pajamas.
[00:23:24]  What are we doing here again?
[00:23:25]  Are you going to go up in space?
[00:23:26]  Okay, just strap me in.
[00:23:28]  Do I have anything to do?
[00:23:29]  Nope.
[00:23:29]  Just enjoy the ride.
[00:23:31]  Did you call it a ride?
[00:23:35]  This is Glenn Beck.

=== The Tramp and Mickey Mouse (13:28) ===

[00:25:18]  We're going to get to some really important stuff.
[00:25:23]  I mean, not now, but at some point we'll get to some really important stuff.
[00:25:26]  You know, actually, you know, the week that it is, I think there are other things that are much more important.
[00:25:33]  I think our attitude, our hope, our being the resilient American is so important right now.
[00:25:49]  You know, the world is watching us right now and how we're reacting.
[00:25:54]  And I want to talk to you about what the president is doing with tariffs.
[00:25:57]  I did a show last night that if you missed, you really need to see.
[00:26:01]  And we'll go over it here in a little while.
[00:26:04]  The world's watching us, watching the president and watching us.
[00:26:07]  How are we reacting?
[00:26:08]  Who are we as a nation?
[00:26:10]  You know, a lot of people think that as people, we are just, we can't take any pain.
[00:26:17]  You know, that's why fights will happen with the United States because they just think our enemies just think they'll not be able to stand it.
[00:26:25]  They can't take it.
[00:26:26]  They can't take it.
[00:26:29]  And is that who we are?
[00:26:36]  I want to take you back to 1920.
[00:26:38]  1920, we were a nation that was bruised by war.
[00:26:41]  We were battered by the grind of progress.
[00:26:44]  Everything was changing, but we were dreaming.
[00:26:46]  We were always, always dreaming of something better.
[00:26:49]  That's who Americans are.
[00:26:51]  Always dreaming.
[00:26:53]  And it's what makes us different as a people, and that comes from hope.
[00:26:59]  And where does hope come from?
[00:27:03]  Hope comes from something.
[00:27:06]  Hope comes from faith in something real.
[00:27:10]  Okay.
[00:27:11]  That's something that has always given Americans hope is God and his promises, knowing that God is real and his promises are real.
[00:27:19]  When you understand his promises, they're all based in hope.
[00:27:23]  They're all based in love.
[00:27:25]  And when God is real to people, they act differently.
[00:27:29]  That's how you can tell a real Christian, do they act differently?
[00:27:32]  Or are they still the same nasty people they always were?
[00:27:35]  If you are, then you're not, you haven't been changed by it.
[00:27:39]  When it becomes part of who you are and everything that you produce, that's how you know somebody has really changed.
[00:27:46]  And as the world was faltering, millions were dead, you had the influenza of 1918 just right near rearview mirror.
[00:27:57]  Where did that hope come from?
[00:28:00]  Where did you find hope in culture?
[00:28:03]  There was in World War I and after World War I, there was somebody who was very, very small, small by design, that was flickering on the movie screen.
[00:28:16]  He wasn't a king.
[00:28:18]  He wasn't a titan.
[00:28:20]  He wasn't that strong American square-jawed hero, but he was a hero.
[00:28:26]  He was an American hero.
[00:28:27]  And most people don't look at him this way.
[00:28:30]  But he didn't need any fancy titles or, you know, land or money or anything else because in the end, he was a hero because he was simply you.
[00:28:41]  He was simply me.
[00:28:43]  He was all of us.
[00:28:45]  He was every man.
[00:28:48]  He's the guy who's, you know, down on his luck, but he has nothing but a spark in his eye and a stubborn refusal to give up.
[00:28:58]  He is the American psyche made flesh.
[00:29:02]  He's flawed.
[00:29:03]  He was scrappy.
[00:29:04]  You know, he'd cut a corner or two, you know, when the landlord's knocking.
[00:29:08]  Maybe he'd be loafing when the sun was too warm, but steal, be dishonest, never.
[00:29:15]  Harm somebody else?
[00:29:16]  Never, not in a million years.
[00:29:19]  This hero was actually homeless or, as Americans used to say, a tramp.
[00:29:25]  He was the tramp.
[00:29:29]  Today is Charlie Chaplin's birthday.
[00:29:31]  And I want to bring him up for one reason.
[00:29:36]  Charlie's little tramp is America and is the American spirit.
[00:29:43]  He's lasted this long in our memories for a reason, but I don't think anybody really talks about it.
[00:29:51]  Charlie's little tramp was always in it for something bigger, bigger than him.
[00:29:55]  Honor, decency, the kind, quiet nobility that just doesn't need a megaphone to shout its worth.
[00:30:03]  It just is.
[00:30:06]  Most people have never really even seen a Charlie Chaplin movie, but they'd recognize him, but they don't even really know why.
[00:30:15]  Watch the movie City Lights.
[00:30:17]  It's 1931.
[00:30:18]  I don't think I've ever gotten my wife to be able to sit through it.
[00:30:20]  She's like, oh, she's a Charlie Champion.
[00:30:22]  I know it's silent and everything else, but it is so good.
[00:30:25]  It is the best storytelling on screen that you've seen, maybe ever.
[00:30:31]  And it's about this tramp, this guy with patches on his coat and just lives on the street.
[00:30:38]  And he stumbles into love.
[00:30:40]  And he loves not some starlet, not with somebody, you know, draped in diamonds, but a blind flower girl who is just selling flowers on the corner.
[00:30:52]  She has nothing.
[00:30:53]  She's poor.
[00:30:55]  And the best thing about her for the little tramp is she can't see the patches on his coat.
[00:31:02]  Now, they meet each other several times through the film.
[00:31:06]  She thinks he's a millionaire.
[00:31:10]  She thinks he's a millionaire because he's buying her flowers and there was confusion at the beginning of this giant Rolls-Royce that pulled up and she could hear it and she could hear the servant get the guy out of the car.
[00:31:20]  And Charlie just happened to take a walk through the car because the car was blocking his way to get to the sidewalk.
[00:31:26]  So he just walked through the car and she thought he was the millionaire.
[00:31:30]  And he doesn't correct her, but he doesn't try to impress her or demand her awe or anything.
[00:31:36]  He just loves her.
[00:31:39]  And so in the movie, he learns that there's a doctor who can restore her sight.
[00:31:44]  A miracle, but it had a pretty high price tag.
[00:31:47]  So what does this guy do?
[00:31:50]  Never has two nickels to rub together.
[00:31:53]  He actually does something that he doesn't like to do.
[00:31:56]  He goes to work.
[00:31:57]  He sweeps the streets.
[00:31:58]  He boxes in a ring.
[00:32:00]  He scrapes and he claws for every penny just to pay her rent and then to fund her surgery.
[00:32:07]  And when he's done, when her eyes are open, he doesn't come in with a cape fluttering and, you know, you should be grateful to me.
[00:32:18]  I'm your savior.
[00:32:19]  He didn't do any of that.
[00:32:22]  Instead, he passes a flower shop and he looks in and he's thinking of her and he sees there she is.
[00:32:29]  in the flower shop.
[00:32:30]  She can now see and she's working in the flower shop.
[00:32:33]  She's not selling them on the corner anymore.
[00:32:35]  And she turns and looks at him and he immediately starts to walk away.
[00:32:39]  He doesn't, he's not looking for anything.
[00:32:42]  He just is looking for her joy.
[00:32:44]  Watching her joy from the shadows is enough for him.
[00:32:48]  He doesn't need credit.
[00:32:51]  When you see this scene, I mean, it just makes your heart ache with pride.
[00:32:56]  And to me, it screams America because that's who we are.
[00:33:00]  We as people have always felt the joy of lifting others up.
[00:33:06]  You know, finding your heart full because you know somebody else is smiling.
[00:33:17]  Charlie Chaplin wasn't just a face on the screen.
[00:33:22]  He is us.
[00:33:23]  And sometimes we forget who that is.
[00:33:28]  He was a creator.
[00:33:30]  He was a genius.
[00:33:32]  He wrote, he came up with the little tramp in the museum.
[00:33:37]  We have Charlie Chaplin's trappings.
[00:33:41]  This is Charlie Chaplin's cane from those movies.
[00:33:48]  It was given to Danny Kaye back in the 1950s because there was a story, I think, in Time magazine, that said, Danny Kaye is the new Charlie Chaplin.
[00:34:00]  And Danny Kay, one day, got a knock on his door, and there standing at his door was Charlie Chaplin, an aging film star.
[00:34:11]  And he presented it to Danny Kaye and said, they say you're the new me.
[00:34:16]  You have to have the cane.
[00:34:19]  How remarkable is that?
[00:34:23]  To be called a Charlie Chaplin back then, it's sure.
[00:34:28]  I mean, he wrote, he directed.
[00:34:29]  Do you know he composed the scores for all of his films?
[00:34:32]  And the reason why I'm bringing this up is because you know this guy has brought joy for so long, long after he's dead.
[00:34:43]  One of the songs he wrote for the little flower girl, he wrote it, and it's in the movie.
[00:34:48]  It's the theme of the movie.
[00:34:51]  You've heard a million times, but probably had no idea that that was from that movie or any movie.
[00:34:57]  And you had no idea that Charlie Chaplin ever wrote it.
[00:35:01]  But this is who he was.
[00:35:05]  Smile, though your heart is aching.
[00:35:13]  Smile even though it's breaking when there are clouds.
[00:35:23]  This is the American spirit.
[00:35:26]  It doesn't matter.
[00:35:27]  There's clouds in the sky.
[00:35:29]  There's tomorrow.
[00:35:31]  No matter how much you hurt, no matter how much you're struggling, it's going to be okay.
[00:35:37]  It's going to get better.
[00:35:39]  And I don't think it's a coincidence that that song with that sentiment written by him, really who he was as a person, as a character at least, endures.
[00:35:56]  If you ask people now, name a giant of the 20th century that from the very beginning of the 20th century to the end of the 20th century, name enduring stars.
[00:36:09]  Some people might say, I don't know, John Wayne.
[00:36:16]  But there's two names that will come up every time, every time.
[00:36:19]  Charlie Chaplin.
[00:36:21]  They don't even know why, but he is burned and seared into our collective memory.
[00:36:26]  And there's another one, Mickey Mouse.
[00:36:33]  And the amazing thing is, and I don't ever, I've never heard anybody talk about this before.
[00:36:37]  So this is just me, but it's the same character.
[00:36:41]  Walt Disney ripped Charlie Chaplin off.
[00:36:44]  Mickey Mouse is Charlie Chaplin.
[00:36:46]  Mickey Mouse is the one who is down on his luck.
[00:36:51]  He's always down on his luck, him and his dog.
[00:36:56]  He's always there just trying to make somebody else happy.
[00:36:59]  He doesn't win in the end.
[00:37:00]  Charlie Chaplin and Mickey Mouse, they don't win in the end, but they do.
[00:37:05]  They see something bigger than just the win that we would all see.
[00:37:11]  Mickey is the animated echo of the tramp, which I think those two are the best cultural icons of the 20th century.
[00:37:24]  When people think of the American century and we think, oh, you want to go back to the little leave-it-to-beaver days.
[00:37:32]  You want to go back to the, you know, black and white days, the days of the 1950s.
[00:37:36]  No, that's not, that isn't what I think of.
[00:37:40]  I think of individuals like the Tramp and Mickey Mouse.
[00:37:46]  Those were the ones that influenced us and showed us who we could be.
[00:37:59]  So if things are getting down in your life, just remember today is Charlie Chaplin's birthday.
[00:38:05]  And just remember, smile.
[00:38:09]  No matter how bad things are getting, no matter how dark things are, There is light and it is still shining, especially this week.
[00:38:18]  It's shining.
[00:38:20]  And in America, we still have it better than anybody else in the world as long as we can dream.
[00:38:28]  As long as we can dream, we can be whatever we want to be.
[00:38:33]  As long as we can dream, we can do.
[00:38:36]  And Americans have always dared to dream, to do, and to believe in something better.

=== Good Ranchers Restore America (03:20) ===

[00:38:47]  Good Ranchers.
[00:38:49]  It's our sponsor.
[00:38:50]  This guy still wakes up every single day before the sun, still puts his boots on over his jeans, goes out in the field to feed the cattle, doesn't matter.
[00:38:58]  He still mends the fence in the places that need mending.
[00:39:01]  Have you ever done that?
[00:39:02]  Oh, it sucks.
[00:39:03]  He still calls it a good day if the work is hard and honest.
[00:39:06]  He's one of the last because every year, more and more ranchers here in America are being forced to sell their land, close their gates, walk away from generations of grit and heritage.
[00:39:18]  Not because they want to, but because they just can't compete anymore.
[00:39:21]  Cheap foreign meat floods the market, often labeled incorrectly as being from the United States.
[00:39:26]  And we buy it most of the time without even knowing or caring.
[00:39:29]  But this is why Good Ranchers exist.
[00:39:31]  They partner directly with American farms and ranches for the people who know that we have to have these people.
[00:39:38]  The people who care.
[00:39:39]  No middleman, no imports, no question where your meat comes from.
[00:39:43]  And every box you order helps keep our ranches in business.
[00:39:47]  It's not just about what you have for dinner, but what kind of country you want to be.
[00:39:51]  Good ranchers, subscribe and get your choice of protein for a year and stand with American ranchers and farmers.
[00:39:57]  It's goodranchers.com.
[00:39:59]  Goodranchers.com.
[00:40:00]  American meat delivers.
[00:40:05]  more glenn beck coming up next um whoever said crime doesn't pay clearly never dipped a toe into the very profitable world of house stealing And these days, it's easier than ever to do some cyber criminal stuff.
[00:40:28]  You could find some names.
[00:40:29]  You could find some personal details online.
[00:40:31]  You fake a signature.
[00:40:32]  You upload a forged deed.
[00:40:34]  And suddenly someone else owns your house on paper at least.
[00:40:37]  And that's the most important thing, at least when it comes to your financial future, because they can take out loans against your property.
[00:40:44]  They can cash out fast.
[00:40:45]  They can disappear into the wind and you don't even know what is going on.
[00:40:50]  You don't even know anything's going wrong until the bills start coming in.
[00:40:53]  By then, it is far, far too late.
[00:40:55]  Most people never see this coming, but look, you're not most people.

[00:41:00]  You're listening to this program today.
[00:41:02]  You're one of the smart ones, which means you likely need to get Home Title Lock.
[00:41:06]  Maybe you already have it.
[00:41:07]  They monitor your title 24-7.
[00:41:10]  They look for any suspicious changes and they alert you the minute that they find anything going wrong.
[00:41:16]  And unfortunately, when something does go wrong, their restoration team is there to take over.
[00:41:20]  They can help walk you through the entire process.
[00:41:22]  They can restore everything for you.
[00:41:24]  Realizing that your home's title is vulnerable to cyber criminals is a really good start, but it's only half the battle.
[00:41:29]  You've got to take the necessary steps to make sure you're protected.
[00:41:32]  And Home Title Lock is the place to go for that.

=== Take the Work Out of Buying Ammo (03:54) ===

[00:42:07]  We love reading everybody's comments through the show.
[00:42:10]  Dre said, becoming an astronaut is a training process.
[00:42:13]  I hate to agree with Stu, but he's correct.
[00:42:16]  This time.
[00:42:18]  Hey.
[00:42:18]  Tricia said, Glenn, they are astronauts.
[00:42:21]  Astro knots.
[00:42:25]  Eddie, how do we have seven women go to space and we don't have the first space sandwich?
[00:42:32]  Wow.
[00:42:34]  Larry, according to Gail's standard, if you flew from the U.S. to Europe, you're just like Charles Lindbergh.
[00:42:41]  Amen.
[00:42:42]  Amen.
[00:42:43]  Sue just wrote in on the Charlie Chaplin monologue.
[00:42:46]  Thank Glenn for the inspiration.
[00:42:48]  I just, I love him.
[00:42:50]  I just love him.
[00:42:51]  And I don't know.
[00:42:52]  I think it's a week of inspiration.
[00:42:54]  Shouldn't we be more inspiring this week?
[00:42:57]  I mean, we got a lot to worry about.
[00:42:59]  We do.
[00:43:00]  I'm sick of worrying about it too.
[00:43:02]  I keep talking to people and they're like, oh, what do you think about this?
[00:43:06]  It's like, look, I can come up with 100 different points to make on policies that I like and I don't like.
[00:43:11]  At the end of the day, I don't know that any of it makes a difference.
[00:43:15]  You just, you know, like you can't.
[00:43:18]  I know.
[00:43:19]  You can't take all this stuff on.
[00:43:20]  You can't.
[00:43:21]  You can't.
[00:43:21]  You can only do so much.
[00:43:22]  It's so soft.
[00:43:23]  Well, I just think that, well, no, I think it's the opposite, right?
[00:43:26]  I think as you grow up in life, you learn that panic doesn't help you.
[00:43:31]  And there's so much panic on TV all the time about everything that's going on in the world.
[00:43:35]  Everything's going to fall apart tomorrow.
[00:43:37]  There's a constitutional crisis around every corner and the markets are going to crash into this.
[00:43:41]  And it's like, well, how much of that can you actually handle?
[00:43:43]  You always say this, Glenn, which is take care of what you can take care of.
[00:43:47]  You know, your family, your community, focus on those things.
[00:43:52]  Yeah.
[00:43:53]  And watch the rest unfold.
[00:43:54]  Glenn Beck.
[00:43:55]  You remember in 2020 when toilet paper vanished and bread was essentially gold for a while?
[00:44:01]  Ammo?
[00:44:02]  Forget about it, huh?
[00:44:04]  Stores were stripped bare.
[00:44:06]  Websites were sold out.
[00:44:08]  If you weren't stocked up already, you were out of luck.
[00:44:10]  Well, there's a company out in Idaho now that saw that coming long before all of us and built a solution.
[00:44:17]  It is called Ammo Squared.
[00:44:19]  And they've been helping gun owners just like me build an ammo stockpile.
[00:44:22]  Not that I have a stockpile.
[00:44:24]  Why would I have a stockpile?
[00:44:25]  Are you kidding me?
[00:44:25]  Unfortunately, I have a lake right by my house and all of my ammo keeps falling into it.
[00:44:29]  It's weird.
[00:44:30]  Anyway, you just sign up.
[00:44:32]  This is how it works.

=== The Fat Kid Inside (02:32) ===

[00:46:02]  The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
[00:46:06]  This is the Glenn Beck Program.
[00:46:13]  Hello, America.
[00:46:15]  The fat pill.
[00:46:16]  Remember the one we were promised as a kid?
[00:46:19]  You'll just take a pill and the fat will just fall off you.
[00:46:21]  You won't ever get fat.
[00:46:23]  Really?
[00:46:23]  I've wanted that ever since I was a kid.
[00:46:25]  You know, I was a fat kid.
[00:46:27]  I was.
[00:46:27]  Well, not.
[00:46:28]  I mean, I was always a fat kid on the inside, you know.
[00:46:31]  Even if I was skinny, there was a fat kid trying to get out.
[00:46:34]  But always knew I'd need a fat pill, need a fat pill.
[00:46:37]  You know what I mean?
[00:46:38]  Everybody could use a fat pill in America.
[00:46:40]  It's out or will be soon, but stocks are already going through the roof, even though it hasn't been FDA approved.
[00:46:47]  We'll give you that story here in a second.
[00:46:49]  Also, the Fed chair's termination can't come soon enough for Donald Trump.
[00:46:54]  We'll give you the update on that.
[00:46:56]  There's a war between Donald Trump and the central bank, the Fed, the Federal Reserve.
[00:47:02]  What a surprise they did it to Reagan.
[00:47:04]  They're doing it to Trump.
[00:47:06]  And global free trade.
[00:47:07]  We're going to get into that here in just a second.
[00:47:09]  First, let me tell you about Real Estate Agents I Trust.
[00:47:11]  When you're buying or selling a home, it can feel like stepping into a maze.
[00:47:14]  There are contracts, paperworks, appraisals, inspections, maybe worst of all, all the deadlines.
[00:47:19]  And at every turn, there's a new decision that you're supposed to make.
[00:47:22]  You know, you've done this a hundred times before.
[00:47:25]  That's why who you work with matters, okay?
[00:47:30]  Because they've done it a hundred times or a thousand times before, but you really haven't.
[00:47:34]  It just feels like it.
[00:47:36]  You don't need somebody who just shows up with a smile and a business card.
[00:47:39]  You need somebody with hustle, somebody with heart, somebody who's been through this maze before, knows exactly how to guide you through it, and who listens to you.
[00:47:46]  That's what you get when you get Real Estate Agents I Trust.
[00:47:49]  These are the agents we've vetted incredibly thorough.
[00:47:54]  We look for experience, the results, the character, the values, the kind of people that I would trust with my own family's move.
[00:48:02]  They know your market.
[00:48:03]  They know the process.
[00:48:04]  They know how to fight for you.
[00:48:06]  With billions of dollars now in sales, Real Estate Agents I Trust has a whole bunch of happy customers now because we'll line you up with people who, honestly, many times they become friends.

[00:48:28]  We have real estate agents all over the country.
[00:48:29]  If we don't have one, we're not just going to recommend one.
[00:48:32]  We'll just tell you the truth.
[00:48:33]  Can't find anybody in your area.

=== America's Open Doors and Tariffs (15:15) ===

[00:48:35]  Good luck with it.
[00:48:36]  Realestateagentsitrust.com.
[00:48:40]  All right.
[00:48:41]  So last night I did a show on trade.
[00:48:44]  And this is something that Stu and I have been talking about and kicking back and forth because I am a free trader.
[00:48:49]  I believe in free trade.
[00:48:51]  However, I think that there are things that have truly changed.
[00:48:58]  And it really goes back to World War II and then to the 1970s and then to NAFTA.
[00:49:07]  And we've shortchanged ourselves every step of the way.
[00:49:10]  And it just gutted us.
[00:49:15]  It's gutted us.
[00:49:16]  Can we play Cut Eight?
[00:49:17]  This is from last night, how NAFTA has affected all 50 states.
[00:49:20]  Listen.
[00:49:21]  The promised prosperity never showed up.
[00:49:24]  The NAFTA winners were Mexico and Canada.
[00:49:27]  Remember, he started that whole thing with expanded global trade.
[00:49:33]  NAFTA turned Mexico into a manufacturing haven.
[00:49:37]  U.S. companies, including Ford and GM, raced across the border for cheaper labor and to make auto parts and electronics.
[00:49:45]  During the first seven years of NAFTA, Mexico added a million new manufacturing jobs.
[00:49:51]  Good for Mexico, not good for us.
[00:49:54]  In 1993, Mexico's exports to the U.S. totaled almost $40 billion.
[00:50:00]  By 2000, those exports totaled under $136 billion, over 300% growth in seven years of NAFTA.
[00:50:12]  The U.S. now has a trade deficit with Mexico ranging from $15 to $171 billion every single year since 1994.
[00:50:21]  What does that mean?
[00:50:22]  That means we're buying a lot of stuff, but we're not selling a lot of stuff.
[00:50:29]  We're not making stuff.
[00:50:31]  We're buying stuff.
[00:50:33]  What about Canada?
[00:50:34]  Well, they hit the NAFTA jackpot as well.
[00:50:37]  At the end of 1993, when NAFTA was signed, Canada enjoyed almost an $11 billion trade surplus with the U.S. By the year 2000, that surplus was over $52 billion.
[00:50:48]  And just like we have with Mexico, the U.S. has a trade deficit with Canada between $13 and $78 billion every year since 1994.
[00:50:58]  It's a sweet deal if you're Canadian.
[00:51:01]  Now look, I have no problem with prosperity all over everywhere.
[00:51:05]  I don't want to hurt other countries, but I do think it's right for us to care about our country to make sure it doesn't slide into the abyss.
[00:51:15]  Meanwhile, while that's happening, by 2000, the U.S. had over 766,000 job losses related to NAFTA.
[00:51:25]  Where's your prosperity?
[00:51:27]  Some states were hit harder than others, but NAFTA-related job losses affected all 50 states.
[00:51:33]  American factories became empty shells.
[00:51:36]  Now, that's just not a stat.
[00:51:38]  That was 766,000 families wondering how are we going to pay our mortgage.
[00:51:45]  It is, it's remarkable when you look at the full thing, and you really have to understand, because I am a free trade guy.
[00:51:51]  I am.
[00:51:52]  But we have done things and signed treaties from 1946, then 70s, and then the 90s.
[00:52:01]  And we made bets that I think were bad bets.
[00:52:05]  And there's no problem on trying to help.
[00:52:08]  You know, the reason why we have a lot of these tariffs over in Europe is because in 1946, we decided we needed to help rebuild Europe.
[00:52:16]  And that's good.
[00:52:17]  That was a good thing and a righteous thing.
[00:52:20]  It wasn't necessary that we did it, but we wanted to do it.
[00:52:24]  Well, now there comes a time when we need to rebuild our own country.
[00:52:29]  And that's not at the expense of others.
[00:52:32]  It's just we have to pay attention to our own country.
[00:52:35]  And if you talk to people, you know, especially with the World Trade Organization, maybe even European Union and Canada and even China, free trade is what we have or what we had.
[00:52:45]  And then Donald Trump came in and blew it up.
[00:52:49]  But if that's what they believe, I want to take you to just one guy, Joe, car maker, Toledo, Ohio.
[00:52:58]  He's a dreamer at heart.
[00:52:59]  He builds sedans to rival the very best.
[00:53:03]  Joe has a vision.
[00:53:04]  His cars, born in America, gleaming from the lots of Detroit to Dusseldorf.
[00:53:10]  He builds a great car.
[00:53:13]  But is the trade free?
[00:53:15]  Is it fair?
[00:53:16]  Well, let's take one of Joe's cars.
[00:53:18]  We're going to take a trip bound for Germany.
[00:53:20]  $30,000 car bound for Germany now.
[00:53:24]  This journey, as Joe knows all too well, is a wake-up call.
[00:53:28]  Joe's sedan rolls off the line, a marvel of steel and sweat, all for $30,000.
[00:53:34]  And he dreams this is going to compete in Europe.
[00:53:37]  This is just as good as anything they have over in Europe.
[00:53:40]  And it's cheaper.
[00:53:42]  It's cheaper.
[00:53:43]  People crave quality over in Europe.
[00:53:46]  The world's not a level playing field, I know, but I've just made a better car.
[00:53:50]  So the car hits the docks bound for Hamburg.
[00:53:53]  Shipping costs are $1,500.
[00:53:55]  Insurance, another $450.
[00:53:57]  Now, the cost of the $30,000 car is $31,950 before it even smells the salt of the ocean.
[00:54:05]  Joe takes it on the chin because he knows that shipping fee and insurance are part of the process.
[00:54:09]  That's the price you have to pay if you want to show off your creation to the rest of the world.
[00:54:12]  You got to get it over there.
[00:54:15]  But he doesn't necessarily account for what comes next.
[00:54:18]  Joe's car now at $31,000 docks in Germany.
[00:54:23]  And now the EU, the gatekeepers, pounce.
[00:54:26]  There's a 10% tariff because it's coming from America.
[00:54:29]  That's $3,195.
[00:54:31]  They strap that onto Joe's dream just for crossing the border.
[00:54:36]  Why?
[00:54:37]  Because the EU protects its own.
[00:54:39]  America has the doors wide open.
[00:54:41]  EU says, wait a minute, it's coming from America.
[00:54:44]  Slap tariff on it.
[00:54:45]  Okay.
[00:54:46]  So Germany's cars, just they waltz into the U.S. with a 2.5% tariff.
[00:54:51]  Fair?
[00:54:52]  You tell me.
[00:54:54]  2.5 versus 10%.
[00:54:56]  Joe's car is now at $35,145 and we're just getting started.
[00:55:01]  Next, they have the value-added tax, the VAT tax, 19% in Germany.
[00:55:08]  That's $6,677 hit on the tariffed price.
[00:55:13]  That's not a tariff, they say.
[00:55:15]  That's just a tax.
[00:55:18]  But it's a tax on Joe's car.
[00:55:20]  It doesn't happen on Volkswagen.
[00:55:22]  That skips the import duty.
[00:55:23]  So he's having to pay almost $7,000 just on a VAT tax for the import of the car.
[00:55:30]  But he already paid for the import tax.
[00:55:33]  So add another $105 customer's fee.
[00:55:35]  Joe's sedan now is at $41,927 before it leaves the port.
[00:55:41]  Free trade?
[00:55:42]  Well, more like a toll road with no off-ramp next.
[00:55:45]  The car is hauled inland, $315 to a Berlin dealership.
[00:55:50]  The dealer, smelling profit, tax on, 15% margin, that's $6,289.
[00:55:56]  Now the car is at $48,531 and Joe's dream is fading just a little bit.
[00:56:04]  The dealer says, you know, we're just going to round up.
[00:56:05]  It's going to be $50,000.
[00:56:07]  Round and proud.
[00:56:08]  Okay.
[00:56:09]  But wait, now there's a VAT again.
[00:56:12]  19% on the sale.
[00:56:15]  So it's $95 for the buyer.
[00:56:18]  The dealer offsets the import tax, but the consumer is stuck with a full bill now.
[00:56:22]  Toss in $315 for the registration and taxes.
[00:56:25]  Joe's car hits the lot at $59,815.
[00:56:31]  That's double the price that it was when it sat on the lot in Toledo, Ohio.
[00:56:36]  Now it's the same price, maybe even a little cheaper than a BMW.
[00:56:42]  Is Joe's car as good as a BMW, that trusted brand?
[00:56:47]  This is a rigged game.
[00:56:49]  Picture Joe back in Ohio, staring at his factory floor.
[00:56:52]  His $30,000 car, his sedan built with American grit, cost Germans $60,000.
[00:56:59]  A BMW made in Munich skips all the tariff, ducks all the import VATs.
[00:57:05]  It lands thousands cheaper.
[00:57:08]  And Joe's car, it's priced out.
[00:57:11]  His dream is crushed by tariffs.
[00:57:13]  This is why I'm a free trade guy.
[00:57:14]  I don't like tariffs.
[00:57:15]  But if you're going to have tariffs, then we should have tariffs.
[00:57:18]  And maybe, maybe, just maybe, that it's time we start thinking about ourself.
[00:57:23]  You know, I am a free trader, but is our country in good shape?
[00:57:28]  Can we continue to do the things that we've always done by giving everybody else the benefit of the doubt?
[00:57:36]  I mean, this is not the tale that is spun by, you know, all the suits, not all of the, you know, Brussels and Beijing.
[00:57:43]  They're not telling this story.
[00:57:46]  Do we have free trade anywhere?
[00:57:48]  I mean, real free trade.
[00:57:50]  The reality is it's a gauntlet of fees.
[00:57:52]  It's a maze of levies.
[00:57:54]  It's a system that we've played nice with for far too long.
[00:57:57]  We've taken it because a couple of reasons.
[00:57:59]  One, we're good people.
[00:58:01]  After the war, we wanted to rebuild Japan.
[00:58:03]  We wanted to rebuild Germany and the rest of Europe.
[00:58:06]  So we just said, hey, let's do what's right for you guys because you guys are really suffering.
[00:58:10]  And it wasn't that we're just, you know, Mother Teresa.
[00:58:13]  It was good for us.
[00:58:14]  It made sense.
[00:58:16]  We wanted them as a trading partner, we partner.
[00:58:18]  We also wanted them to be safe and secure because if they're not safe and secure, we're not safe and secure.
[00:58:24]  So it was good for all of us, all of us.
[00:58:27]  But there comes a time when you're like, hey, we have our own problems here at home.
[00:58:31]  We really need to concentrate on ourself here a little bit.
[00:58:34]  We need to pay attention.
[00:58:36]  We've tried to, you know, have you ever seen a mom who just works her fingers to the bones for her kids?
[00:58:42]  And she's doing all the right things.
[00:58:43]  And she's not doing it to be some hero.
[00:58:45]  She's doing it because it's the right thing to do.
[00:58:47]  She's just a good mom.
[00:58:48]  But at some point, you know, the doctors and hopefully her husband and even her children will go, mom, you got to stop.
[00:58:55]  You got to stop.
[00:58:55]  You can't take care of any of us if you don't take care of yourself.
[00:58:59]  That's where we are as a country right now.
[00:59:02]  We won't be able to help anyone if we don't stop and help ourselves first.
[00:59:09]  By the way, if Joe happened to be building cars in Japan and sent a car from Germany to Japan, another country that we rebuilt, do you know how much the tariff is?
[00:59:24]  Do you know what it would cost?
[00:59:25]  The Japanese car, how much would be added to the Japanese car?
[00:59:30]  Zero.
[00:59:33]  We rebuilt these countries.
[00:59:37]  And it was our doing, our choice.
[00:59:40]  But it's time that maybe we stop.
[00:59:45]  We stop.
[00:59:46]  Okay?
[00:59:46]  We stop.
[00:59:48]  When does a person like Joe get his turn?
[00:59:51]  Ask the middle manufacturer in middle America about free and fair trade.
[00:59:57]  Because as it stands right now, I'm not sure it's free or fair.
[01:00:04]  This is a hard debate that America has to have.
[01:00:08]  This is a debate that I don't even know if I'm on the right side.
[01:00:10]  I honestly don't.
[01:00:12]  I've always been on the other side.
[01:00:14]  But I'm to the point to where I know what's coming.
[01:00:20]  I know the price we're going to have to pay.
[01:00:23]  I know how bad it is if we keep kicking the can down the road.
[01:00:26]  It's the same thing that we're doing with Social Security.
[01:00:29]  It's the same thing we're doing with spending.
[01:00:31]  It's the same thing we're doing with everything.
[01:00:33]  And we don't do anything because no politician will tell you the truth.
[01:00:37]  No politician has any idea or the guts to do it or the guts to do it.
[01:00:43]  They might say they have the guts, but then when it comes to it, then they start getting pressure and they immediately back down.
[01:00:49]  Do you know the kind of pressure that I think Donald Trump is under right now?
[01:00:54]  From the whole world, from the Fed, from everybody else, people in his own party.
[01:01:00]  You imagine the pressure this guy is under?
[01:01:02]  And yet he's like, no, I believe it's right.
[01:01:05]  When's the last time you had a president that did that?
[01:01:08]  That wasn't doing it for politics, was doing it because he actually, he might be wrong, but he's actually doing it because he believes it's the right thing to do.
[01:01:18]  Name the last president.
[01:01:20]  Reagan.
[01:01:22]  And what was he doing it on?
[01:01:26]  The last big threat we had to our nation.
[01:01:29]  Russia, communism.
[01:01:31]  This threat is just the threat of us not doing the right thing.
[01:01:36]  This isn't a threat of some foreign ideology, although we have those.
[01:01:43]  This one's just, can we stop spending money?
[01:01:46]  Can we stop giving everybody else a break and having this weird self-hatred so much that we're like, no, you know what?
[01:01:53]  Everybody else should get the break.
[01:01:54]  We shouldn't get the break.
[01:01:55]  No, At least for a time period.
[01:02:00]  Maybe we should.
[01:02:02]  Maybe we should say, hey, everybody, we love you, but we got to take care of ourselves.
[01:02:09]  I think that's what Donald Trump is doing.
[01:02:12]  More in just a second.
[01:02:15]  You've been powering through it, the backaches, the stiff knees, the shoulders that haven't moved quite right since, I don't know, who even remembers when.
[01:02:22]  And you've always told yourself, well, it's just because, you know, I'm getting older or it's just whatever.
[01:02:27]  And you've tried to laugh it off and you've learned how to work around it.
[01:02:29]  But let me ask you something.
[01:02:30]  When did you start settling with pain?
[01:02:33]  Because pain isn't just pain.
[01:02:34]  It's exhaustion.
[01:02:36]  It's frustration.
[01:02:37]  It's missing out.
[01:02:37]  It's silently shaping you to say yes to what you have to avoid.
[01:02:44]  Okay.
[01:02:45]  It's starting to run your life and ruin your life at the same time.
[01:02:49]  It's time to see if you can stop that from happening.
[01:02:52]  And it's Relief Factor.
[01:02:53]  It was made for people just like you, people who pushed through it and shouldn't have to.
[01:02:59]  The target is inflammation because that causes most of our pain and honestly most of our disease with four key ingredients, all 100% drug-free.
[01:03:06]  And for hundreds of thousands of people, it has helped reduce or eliminate pain and bring back freedom like it has in my life, real lasting freedom.
[01:03:14]  And you can have it for $19.95.
[01:03:16]  Just try their three-week quick start.

[01:03:23]  Less than a dollar a day, 800 for relief.
[01:03:26]  800, the number four, relief, relieffactor.com.
[01:03:30]  10 seconds, stage 90.
[01:03:42]  So the ECB, the European Central Bank, is expected to cut interest rates now for the seventh time.

=== Powell vs Trump: The Rate War (04:09) ===

[01:03:51]  And Jerome Powell at the Fed has issued a report yesterday, which was, Donald Trump says another complete and total mess.
[01:04:01]  He's like, no, we're not going to lower the interest rates.
[01:04:04]  He is now declaring war on the Federal Reserve.
[01:04:09]  Oh, things are going to get really happy and good when he does that.
[01:04:13]  That's a war that who's ever won?
[01:04:17]  Can you think of anybody who's ever won that, Stu?
[01:04:19]  Last person I saw do it was Ronald Reagan, and he was tough as nails.
[01:04:23]  And he immediately was like, you know what?
[01:04:25]  You know what?
[01:04:25]  I love the Fed.
[01:04:27]  I love the Fed.
[01:04:28]  The Fed can destroy the economy.
[01:04:33]  And he said, too late.
[01:04:36]  They should have lowered the interest rates like the European central bank long ago, but he certainly should lower them now.
[01:04:45]  He's talking about the Fed share.
[01:04:47]  He said Powell's termination cannot come fast enough.
[01:04:51]  Now, I don't think he can fire him.
[01:04:53]  I think he's waiting for his term to be up, right?
[01:04:57]  Can he fire the Fed chair?
[01:04:58]  I was just reading about that.
[01:05:00]  Any attempt to remove Powell, a legally questionable option Trump considered in his first term.
[01:05:05]  This is political writing.
[01:05:06]  That's just for context.
[01:05:08]  Would feed institutions.
[01:05:09]  So it's like written by an astronaut of Gail King.
[01:05:12]  Right.
[01:05:13]  Blah, blah, blah.
[01:05:14]  They say there could be risks to it.
[01:05:15]  A point Scott Besant has been underscoring within the White House, said two people close to the White House, granted anonymity, shared details of private discussions, though Trump is also aware of the stakes.
[01:05:26]  Investor confidence that the central bank will make decisions based on the path of the economy rather on short-term politics is a key underpinning of the U.S. global financial reputation.
[01:05:37]  Doesn't really hear if he, I mean, it seems like he could flirt with it, but it would be really problematic and the markets would hate it.
[01:05:44]  And, you know, of course, obviously Trump sort of reversed his earlier tariffs by his own telling that because the markets were, what was it, yippy?
[01:05:54]  Yippie was his term?
[01:05:55]  They were getting a little bit yippy.
[01:05:57]  So you would think that this would make him nervous.
[01:06:00]  Though at the same time, he's out there blasting Powell.
[01:06:03]  I mean, he was absolutely killing the guy this morning.
[01:06:06]  Good.
[01:06:07]  I think the central bank is just worthless, absolutely worthless and possibly criminal.
[01:06:12]  Possibly criminal.
[01:06:13]  I mean, his critique, though, was just on whether they were lowering rates or not.
[01:06:17]  And that's what he wants to do, which would, of course, create some more economic activity, maybe to offset some of the issues with the tariffs.
[01:06:26]  When's the last time you heard the bank saying, you know, we have a liquidity problem and the central bank not lower rates?
[01:06:32]  When's the last time you ever heard, we've got a real liquidity problem?
[01:06:36]  Because that's what they're saying.
[01:06:37]  We have a real liquidity problem.
[01:06:39]  And the central bank does nothing?
[01:06:41]  Huh, that's strange.
[01:06:43]  Jerome, this is Glenn Beck.
[01:06:47]  As we go through all of this, you know, look, if you have opened up your 401k retirement statement and something in your chest tightens, then you're seeing the reality.
[01:06:58]  And if it doesn't, then you're either not old enough to worry about it or, you know, but it's not panic.
[01:07:04]  It's not fear.
[01:07:05]  It's something quieter, but deeper.
[01:07:07]  It's a low signal from part of you that's always been good at reading the room.
[01:07:10]  It's your instinct that is saying, hmm, something is not going well.
[01:07:16]  It's a fragile system that we've built and it's wobbling.
[01:07:19]  Now, the numbers are going to, you know, bounce back.
[01:07:22]  The media may even call it resilience, but you know better to have to trust all of that, at least in the short term.
[01:07:28]  And this time, it may just be different.
[01:07:30]  No, it's never different.
[01:07:32]  Uh-huh.
[01:07:32]  Uh-huh.

[01:08:25]  If you thought your rights as a parent were secure now that President Trump is in office, you might want to think again.
[01:08:31]  Bad actors all across the country continue to try to circumvent the administration and violate the Constitution.
[01:08:38]  In Colorado, now there is a bill making its way through the state legislature that would create legal grounds for the state to revoke custody of parents who misgender their children, named the Kelly Loving Act, named after a 40-year-old transgender man who was killed in a club in 2022.
[01:08:56]  In Massachusetts, a mom is accused of kidnapping her own children.
[01:09:00]  And in California, a case was dismissed against a school district in which a guidance counselor helped a girl secretly, socially transition from female to male without a single call to her mom.
[01:09:12]  And in fact, when she wanted to talk to her mom, she's in fifth grade, when she wanted to talk to her mom, the school discouraged her from talking to her mom.
[01:09:21]  Okay.
[01:09:22]  Now a federal judge has resurrected this case, and it could be precedent setting for the rights of parents in California and all across the country because, you know, whatever happens in California trickles down to the rest of us.
[01:09:33]  This is a really important case.
[01:09:35]  Mark Trammell is the CEO for the Center of American Liberty.
[01:09:38]  Mark, welcome to the program.
[01:09:40]  How are you?
[01:09:41]  I'm well.
[01:09:42]  Thanks for having me, Glenn.
[01:09:44]  First of all, you are replacing Harmeet Dillon as the CEO of Center for American Liberty.
[01:09:49]  Those are huge shoes to fill.
[01:09:52]  But congratulations on the job.
[01:09:55]  Now let's continue the work here.
[01:09:58]  What is happening here in California?
[01:10:00]  Tell me about this story.
[01:10:02]  Yeah, so Aurora Regino, her daughter was in the fifth grade.
[01:10:05]  She was actually 11 years old when an elementary school guidance counselor facilitated the social transition of Aurora's daughter from female to male without so much as a phone call to Aurora.
[01:10:19]  So as a result of this egregious violation of Aurora's parental rights, we filed a lawsuit.
[01:10:27]  We filed a lawsuit in federal court, and unfortunately the court dismissed the case.
[01:10:31]  The court, I think, just absolutely got it wrong, and that caused us to appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
[01:10:40]  We filed that appeal.
[01:10:41]  Hold on just a second.
[01:10:42]  Why did they just dismiss it?
[01:10:44]  What was their reason for just not hearing the case, just dismissing it?
[01:10:48]  They dismissed it because the court reasoned that there was not a constitutional right violated.
[01:10:56]  So, in fact, what's really interesting is the response from the Court of Appeals.
[01:11:03]  So, last year we filed an appeal at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
[01:11:07]  When you file that appeal, you have a three-judge panel that hears the case.
[01:11:12]  They came out just about a week or two ago and gave an opinion.
[01:11:18]  And they said the lower court applied the wrong standard.
[01:11:22]  And this is what the standard that the lower court applied.
[01:11:24]  They said that we failed to establish that there was a fundamental right violated because there was an existing precedent that clearly established that fundamental right, which is a ludicrous standard.
[01:11:36]  I mean, doesn't our Constitution say if it's not enumerated in the Constitution, it belongs to the state or the people?
[01:11:44]  It does.
[01:11:45]  It does.
[01:11:46]  So we don't need an enumerated right to have control of our own family and counsel with our own children.
[01:11:54]  Right?
[01:11:55]  Correct.
[01:11:55]  Correct.
[01:11:56]  In fact, the Ninth Circuit gave direction to the lower court and said, look, the standard that you applied is, of course, ludicrous.
[01:12:05]  The standard that you should apply is this idea that there's a fundamental right if something is objectively, deeply rooted in the nation's history and tradition.
[01:12:16]  And so here, the lower court expected us to point to precedent that said parents have a right to know and to consent to the social transition of their child in a public school setting.
[01:12:29]  Well, of course, there's not case law that says that because this is a new phenomenon that's happening, not just in California, but in states across the country where these parental secrecy policies are being implemented and being applied, where schools are really poisoning kids' minds at a very young age, as early as kindergarten, with this idea of transgenderism and changing their gender.
[01:12:51]  And it's all on this basis, this legal falsehood that kids have a right to privacy from their parents.
[01:13:01]  It's completely a legal falsehood.
[01:13:03]  So we are encouraged.
[01:13:05]  We're encouraged that this case has been revived by the Ninth Circuit of all places.
[01:13:10]  The Ninth Circuit is getting this issue right, whereas we've seen some other circuits across the country get it wrong.
[01:13:17]  Can I ask you something?
[01:13:19]  When did the Ninth Circuit become like halfway sane?
[01:13:24]  They've always been crazy.
[01:13:27]  What happened there?
[01:13:28]  There wasn't like an announcement.
[01:13:30]  It's like we just slip through a wormhole and all of a sudden they make sense.
[01:13:33]  What happened there?
[01:13:34]  Yeah.
[01:13:34]  Yeah.
[01:13:35]  I mean, it is a, it's bizarre.
[01:13:39]  It is.
[01:13:39]  Makes me question everything.
[01:13:41]  But anyway, go ahead.
[01:13:42]  You know, I'm not going to argue with it.
[01:13:44]  If the Ninth Circuit wants to revive this really important case, I'm happy.
[01:13:48]  I'm really happy about it.
[01:13:50]  And Glenn, I think what I would love to point out is just that last year, Gavin Newsom signed AB 1955 into law in California.
[01:13:58]  And he did that in response to conservative parents who ran for the school board.
[01:14:02]  They got elected, and the first thing that they did was they passed notification policies.
[01:14:07]  They said if a school starts facilitating the social transition of a child, they have to at least notify parents.
[01:14:14]  Not even necessarily get consent from parents, but at least call them, let them know that this is happening.
[01:14:21]  So in response to that, the Attorney General of California, Rob Bonsa, actually sued the Chino Valley Unified School District and others as well to have those policies declared unconstitutional.
[01:14:37]  He had some success doing that, but they signed this law.
[01:14:41]  Gavin signed this law in AB 1955 that would strip school districts of the ability to even pass and implement such notification policies.
[01:14:53]  They want to do all of this to kids behind closed doors and not let parents know.
[01:14:59]  But Aurora's case is important because whereas AB 1955 is a state law, Aurora's case is a federal civil rights issue, right?
[01:15:09]  It arises under the Constitution, under the 14th Amendment.
[01:15:13]  And so if Aurora's case is ultimately successful, it can pretty much gut 1955 in California.
[01:15:23]  And I think set a precedent that will be very persuasive across the country.
[01:15:29]  So we're looking at the decision that will come out is either that children have rights and can make decisions that are unrestricted or nearly unrestricted, or parents, their power over their children is nearly unlimited, right?
[01:15:49]  Yes.
[01:15:50]  And also, a third actor in there is really the role of government-run schools, right?
[01:15:57]  This idea that government-run schools know better than parents what's in the best interest of their children.
[01:16:05]  And so it's almost like this presumption that parents are nefarious.
[01:16:09]  They're not going to support their children in a transition.
[01:16:14]  wherever people stand, and there are strong beliefs on both sides of this issue in the country, but Aurora Regino, we certainly make this point in the papers we filed with the court.
[01:16:25]  Aurora Regino stated she would have been supportive of her daughter's transition.
[01:16:34]  But she was taken out of the equation altogether.
[01:16:36]  She wasn't even given the opportunity to be part of it.
[01:16:39]  And if she thought that this was actually inspired, if she thought that this was actually originating from her daughter and not being pushed upon her by the school, the reaction would be a little bit different.
[01:16:50]  So in fact, the first case, this is not the first case we've handled with this set of facts.
[01:16:56]  The first case we handled was a case of Jessica Conan in Salinas, California.
[01:17:01]  Jessica's daughter was in the sixth grade when teachers invited her to an equality club that met during the lunch hour.
[01:17:09]  And it was the only extracurricular that wasn't after school.
[01:17:12]  You know, if clubs meet after school, parents have to arrange for pickup.
[01:17:16]  But if it's in the lunch hour during recess, these things can be kept secret from parents.
[01:17:22]  And that case resulted in a settlement.
[01:17:25]  We recovered damages for Jessica.
[01:17:30]  But I think what has to continue to happen is when parents see this happening, they have to go to the school board.
[01:17:37]  They have to shout them down.
[01:17:40]  I mean, they really have to give it to them if they're implementing these policies that violate parental rights, if they're being adversarial to parents in the way that they desire to raise their children.
[01:17:52]  And they have to run for school board.
[01:17:54]  They have to win.
[01:17:55]  They have to pass these notification policies.
[01:17:57]  They have to stand up.
[01:17:58]  They have to file these lawsuits.
[01:18:00]  They have to fight back.
[01:18:01]  And we're seeing this groundswell across the country.
[01:18:04]  And as someone who's a parent myself and really, really, obviously, because of the work that we do interested in preserving these rights, it's really encouraging to see not only the movement toward parental rights, but also seeing that even courts in California are starting to get it right and come around to this idea that, of course, this is a fundamental right.
[01:18:33]  I mean, when was it that a parent didn't have the right to name their child?
[01:18:39]  Like if the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals says that a fundamental right is deeply rooted in the history and tradition of a nation, parents have always had the right to give their child a name.
[01:18:50]  And that right extends beyond the formation of the United States.
[01:18:54]  I mean, this is really across the spectrum of humanity.
[01:18:56]  Parents have always given their children a name.
[01:18:59]  Well, now schools are giving kids a new name, a new identity, new pronouns, all without so much as calling parents.
[01:19:09]  That phenomenon has to stop.
[01:19:11]  And the Center for American Liberty is dedicated to ending it.
[01:19:15]  Wow.
[01:19:16]  I never thought of the, I've never thought of it that way about the power of the schools giving a new name to your children.
[01:19:24]  That is bad.
[01:19:26]  Mark, thank you so much.
[01:19:28]  When are we going to hear the results of this?
[01:19:29]  When is this actually being argued and where are we going to hear the results?
[01:19:33]  So the Ninth Circuit just gave this ruling.
[01:19:35]  So they punted it back to the district court with direction.
[01:19:40]  So, look, this is a slow process.
[01:19:42]  We're probably months away from another ruling in this case, but we'll be sure to keep you up to date, and you'll be the first to know.
[01:19:52]  Thank you very much.
[01:19:53]  By the way, if you want to help them in their work, this one affects all of us in every state, libertycenter.org, libertycenter.org.
[01:20:00]  Mark Tremmel, thank you for joining us.
[01:20:02]  You know, I have a friend who lives in Washington State who told me that the governor, look this up, see if he signed it yet, that the House and the Senate in Washington State has just passed a bill that says in an emergency, the state has complete right to your health.
[01:20:20]  So in other words, it can do anything it wants.
[01:20:23]  If there is a pandemic, they have complete right to make all the decisions for your health.
[01:20:29]  And he loves living in Washington State.
[01:20:32]  I mean, you know, there's some issues with it because he thinks like we do, but he loves it.
[01:20:38]  I mean, it's where he grew up.
[01:20:40]  And he's like, I can't.
[01:20:42]  If the governor signs it, I can't live here.
[01:20:44]  I can't have that hanging over my head because they will use it.
[01:20:47]  Why would you pass something like that?
[01:20:49]  Do you see it?
[01:20:52]  I'm looking and seeing bits and pieces here, but I don't know if it's exactly as described.
[01:21:01]  I just have to look into it more.
[01:21:02]  It's the first time hearing about it.
[01:21:03]  Yeah, I hadn't heard about it either.
[01:21:05]  And, you know, he called me up this weekend.
[01:21:07]  He's like, have you heard what's happening in Washington?
[01:21:09]  I'm like, no.
[01:21:11]  I mean, if that's true, if that's what's happening and find out.
[01:21:15]  If that's what's happening, could you live there?
[01:21:19]  I mean, I suppose I could live there until an emergency started and then leave.
[01:21:23]  Yeah, and then if they say nobody's leaving the state because of the emergency, you're stuck there.
[01:21:27]  No, you don't have control of my health.
[01:21:29]  You're not going to know.
[01:21:30]  No, They would have massive constitutional concerns, problems with saying, hey, you can't leave the state.
[01:21:38]  That's quite clear in the Constitution.
[01:21:40]  They can't do that.
[01:21:42]  But I mean, again, who knows?
[01:21:44]  I suppose, though, you hit that standard and you're like, well, is there any place on earth I can live?
[01:21:49]  Which is probably no.
[01:21:51]  That's insane.
[01:21:52]  You need to build a platform like the guy off the coast of the UK.
[01:21:55]  You just build a platform and have everyone come out and party.
[01:21:58]  That's what you got to do.
[01:21:59]  Have you seen that platform?
[01:22:01]  Not really.
[01:22:03]  It's not where I want to live.
[01:22:04]  No, no, but I'm saying I don't.
[01:22:06]  And even there, they still, of course, all those things always get taken down in international waters.
[01:22:10]  I know.
[01:22:11]  So at some level, you can't protect against everything.
[01:22:16]  I don't think there's certainly no legal right for a state to keep you within a state.
[01:22:21]  So that is at least something.
[01:22:22]  Well, they don't have the right to tell you exactly what to put in your body and not put in your body, what you have to take, what you not have to take.
[01:22:28]  That is terrifying.
[01:22:29]  Just terrifying.
[01:22:30]  All right.
[01:22:30]  Back in just a second.
[01:22:32]  You probably didn't notice the moment it happened, the moment your phone bill, the same one you've been paying for for years, became a funding stream for the things you don't believe in.
[01:22:39]  Abortion groups, gender ideology and schools, political candidates who would gladly silence your voice.
[01:22:46]  Month after month, without your permission, without even telling you, the company you trusted to keep you connected was quietly cutting checks to the very causes trying to tear your values apart.
[01:22:56]  And maybe you felt that pull between convenience and conviction.
[01:22:59]  You know, what's easy and what is right.
[01:23:01]  Sometimes it's hard.
[01:23:02]  Patriot Mobile exists for that moment.
[01:23:05]  They are America's only Christian conservative wireless provider with the same nationwide coverage that you're used to, but with a mission that actually aligns with your values.
[01:23:15]  Every call you make, every text you send, backed by a company that supports religious liberty, the right to life, and the Constitution, you don't have to make noise to take a stand.
[01:23:25]  You just have to stop paying the people who are working against you.
[01:23:29]  Switch from the big mobile companies.

[01:24:09]  So is it true in Washington state?
[01:24:12]  This is what I heard.
[01:24:13]  It passed the House and the Senate.
[01:24:15]  It was going to the governor, and they're thinking he's going to sign it.
[01:24:18]  And it is a bill that says basically they can do everything they did in COVID.
[01:24:22]  It's now codified, and they can control your health.
[01:24:26]  I would say basically, yes, it's true.
[01:24:30]  You know, there's obviously that's not how they phrase it.
[01:24:34]  They're not saying, oh, we're going to take over your health.
[01:24:35]  They're saying, no, no, they're here to help.
[01:24:37]  They're here to help.
[01:24:38]  But I would say it would be a bill that I would be worried about, certainly.
[01:24:42]  And of course, I assume Jay Inslee is going to sign it because.
[01:24:45]  Of course he will.
[01:24:47]  But that has not happened yet, however.
[01:24:49]  See, why would the state with Bill Gates in it want to be doing that?
[01:24:54]  But basically, just really quick, this is the world's most expensive intercom to my sister, Michelle.
[01:25:00]  Get the hell out of Washington State.
[01:25:03]  I'm just saying, now might be the time.
[01:25:06]  Now might be the time.
[01:25:08]  Maybe you could just borrow the Katie Perry Gale King astronaut, you know, the ship, and just whenever something happens, an emergency happens, just blast off into space and land somewhere else.
[01:25:19]  Right, right.
[01:25:20]  It won't be very far away from where you took off, but it'll be four minutes of serious science.
[01:25:27]  Yes.
[01:25:29]  This is Glenn Beck.
[01:25:36]  So you made it back from the camping trip.
[01:25:37]  No bears ate you.
[01:25:38]  No hunters shot you.
[01:25:39]  You didn't drown in the river.
[01:25:40]  You managed not to burn your tent to the ground with the campfire.
[01:25:43]  Congratulations.
[01:25:45]  Just one tiny little problem.
[01:25:46]  And I do mean tiny.
[01:25:48]  You came back with a parasite.
[01:25:50]  Huh?
[01:25:50]  Here to talk to us about parasites is Stu Bergeer, an expert on parasites.
[01:25:56]  Yeah, that's true.
[01:25:57]  That's me.
[01:25:59]  I don't know anything about medicine or doctors or anything.
[01:26:03]  I don't.
[01:26:04]  Have you been to space?
[01:26:05]  I have not been to space.
[01:26:06]  Are you a doctor?
[01:26:06]  I'm not a doctor.
[01:26:07]  I can't even talk about it.
[01:26:09]  What I can say is that when you have an issue like that, you want to make sure you actually have the medication you need.
[01:26:15]  And if you're seeing the supply chain stuff that we've been talking about a lot as opposed to over the past few years with COVID and trade and everything else, you want to be sure you're prepared.
[01:26:24]  And that's why the Jace case is great.
[01:26:26]  Jace has their parasite use case, which is an emergency kit specifically designed to help you with that particular situation.
[01:26:33]  It also has ivermectin, has other powerful medicines that I can't even name, but will help you in your time of need.

[01:27:45]  This is the Glenn Beck Program.
[01:27:52]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[01:27:54]  So who is the Maryland man?
[01:27:57]  I don't know.
[01:27:58]  All the searching I do back and forth.
[01:28:01]  You get one thing and then you get another thing and then they argue with each other and you don't know who to believe.
[01:28:06]  So we're going to get into that here in just a minute.
[01:28:11]  I mean, it's a little nerve-wracking.
[01:28:15]  You know, I read a quote from Jefferson earlier this week, and I've kind of put this into today's terms.
[01:28:22]  The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than a man who reads nothing but social media.
[01:28:29]  So where are you getting most of your facts?
[01:28:32]  Probably social media.
[01:28:34]  Or, you know, Jefferson said, you know, a man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but the newspapers.
[01:28:42]  So kind of the same thing today, though, I don't know what to believe.
[01:28:47]  We'll go into that and so much more here in just a second.
[01:28:49]  First, I want to introduce you to Bob.
[01:28:52]  All of a sudden, one day, out of the blue, Bob stopped falling asleep in the middle of dinner.
[01:28:56]  He no longer snored through church.
[01:28:58]  He didn't nod off during meetings, you know, during a power presentation that he was giving.
[01:29:05]  Slowly, everyone around Bob started getting suspicious, watching his behavior as the days turned into weeks.
[01:29:10]  Clearly, something was different.
[01:29:11]  Bob was always tired every single day.
[01:29:13]  His wife said he could almost never get to sleep at night, no matter how hard he tried.
[01:29:19]  Privately, she suspected witchcraft.
[01:29:21]  Now, that's not something she told Bob out directly, but she did.
[01:29:24]  She was suspecting witchcraft.
[01:29:26]  Bob had actually discovered Z Factor from the makers of Relief Factor.
[01:29:31]  It's not a drug, not even a witch's brew.
[01:29:33]  No.
[01:29:33]  Uh-uh.
[01:29:34]  Just a blend of natural supplements that will send people like Bob and you off into dreamland.
[01:29:40]  These days, not only Bob stay asleep at night, he gets to sleep faster, stays asleep throughout the night, and you know what?
[01:29:46]  He doesn't sleep during the day.
[01:29:48]  Be like Bob.
[01:29:49]  First time Z-Factor buyers will enjoy 46% savings.
[01:29:53]  $19.95 for a 30-day supply.
[01:29:55]  $19.95 right now at relieffactor.com for Z-Factor.
[01:29:59]  800, the number 4, Relief.
[01:30:04]  All right.
[01:30:05]  So, Stu, help me out on the Maryland man, because...
[01:30:11]  You talking about the Maryland father?
[01:30:12]  The Maryland father.
[01:30:14]  The Maryland father.
[01:30:15]  Why didn't you include that he's a father?
[01:30:16]  Well, you have to include that he's a father.
[01:30:18]  He's a father, and he's an immigrant, you know.
[01:30:21]  And a husband.
[01:30:22]  And a husband.
[01:30:24]  Okay.
[01:30:25]  Thank you.
[01:30:27]  There are some things that we know and some things that we don't know.
[01:30:32]  You know, the media will, you know, for instance, his wife swore out of a protection order against him.
[01:30:45]  But only a couple of, you know, only a couple of them.
[01:30:48]  You know, because he was apparently beating her.
[01:30:51]  But, you know, that needs some, you know, that's without any nuance.
[01:30:55]  I don't know.
[01:30:55]  Do you need nuance with the, you know, the domestic abuse thing?
[01:30:59]  Not really, no.
[01:31:00]  No, I really don't.
[01:31:02]  You know, the one thing that, you know, I don't know.
[01:31:06]  I don't know.
[01:31:08]  We know that he entered the U.S. illegally.
[01:31:10]  We don't know when he entered.
[01:31:13]  Yeah, there's some reports between 2011 and 2014.
[01:31:17]  Some places are reporting both numbers.
[01:31:19]  Correct.
[01:31:20]  We know that he was working as a roofer.
[01:31:24]  Okay.
[01:31:25]  We know that in 2019 he faced deportation proceedings in Baltimore, but was granted a withholding of removal order.
[01:31:33]  So he couldn't be deported to El Salvador.
[01:31:37]  The MS-13 affiliation, that's unproven.
[01:31:41]  It is based on some evidence, but weak, you know, unless you believe the informant.
[01:31:48]  I mean, we had to believe every single whistleblower under Biden, but this one, no, no, this one, no.
[01:31:54]  Yeah, they've really some documents, too, that, that are, that basically say that he is, it was an MS-13.
[01:32:00]  I mean, those are the, of course, essentially the accusations, right?
[01:32:04]  They come from the police.
[01:32:06]  These are the these are their observations of him.
[01:32:10]  You know, that doesn't mean it went through, it was proven in a court of law or anything, but it was, this is what they believed.
[01:32:15]  They believed they had, he was arrested, I believe, one time with someone who was a known MS-13 member.
[01:32:22]  That happens to all of us.
[01:32:23]  Yeah, I mean, it happens to me all the time.
[01:32:24]  Yeah.
[01:32:24]  You know, I was like, yeah, he goes court.
[01:32:26]  Yeah, but he's a good guy.
[01:32:27]  I mean, we bowl every Tuesday night.
[01:32:30]  Like, I got a couples massage the other day with a known MS-13 member.
[01:32:34]  And you're in MS-13.
[01:32:35]  Right.
[01:32:36]  Or a couple.
[01:32:37]  Well, I mean, the price is, you get a discount.
[01:32:39]  Well, you get a discount for a year.
[01:32:41]  So it has nothing to do with this together.
[01:32:44]  I mean, it is unlikely.
[01:32:47]  It's not impossible, but unlikely that he was not affiliated with these guys.
[01:32:52]  I will say, though, they don't have the greatest evidence of all time on this.
[01:32:57]  This is not like an open and shut.
[01:32:59]  We definitely know.
[01:33:00]  I would say it's more likely than not.
[01:33:02]  And again, the standard here when you are an illegal immigrant is you don't get all the constitutional protection that you're an illegal gets, right?
[01:33:09]  Like you're in a legal immigrant.
[01:33:11]  And we do know for certain, this is something that he has admitted.
[01:33:16]  He crossed into the country illegally, which is a crime.
[01:33:20]  Yeah.
[01:33:20]  That we know he has admitted to it.
[01:33:23]  And there's no disagreement on whether he should have been really deported or not.
[01:33:27]  Now, of course, the family is saying all sorts of things.
[01:33:29]  His defenders are saying some stuff.
[01:33:31]  But like there's no question that he could have been deported.
[01:33:34]  The question was whether he should have been deported to El Salvador or not.
[01:33:40]  Well, he's from El Salvador, so I guess he could work that out, you know, insult El Salvador.
[01:33:46]  When Trump was president, they went through a hearing and said he shouldn't be deported to El Salvador.
[01:33:50]  Now, I believe that this was based on this guy lying a lot and saying that his mother's papusa stand was being harassed.
[01:34:01]  Yes, it was being harassed.
[01:34:03]  He was being harassed back in 2011.
[01:34:06]  Papusa, isn't that what Native Americans carry their baby in, like a papusa stand or something?
[01:34:13]  That's a papoose.
[01:34:14]  Well, that's a papus.
[01:34:15]  What's a papusa?
[01:34:16]  A food, I guess.
[01:34:18]  It is a thick.
[01:34:19]  Wow, don't cross those cultures.
[01:34:21]  It could get very dicey quickly.
[01:34:23]  Sorry, mistranslation.
[01:34:24]  Yeah, I missed the baby.
[01:34:27]  Wow.
[01:34:27]  Sorry about that.
[01:34:28]  It's just like when you mess up hummus and Hamas.
[01:34:30]  There's only one letter, but it's not going on there.
[01:34:33]  It's a big difference.
[01:34:34]  A couple letters.
[01:34:35]  Okay, so a papusa is a thick grilled or fried tortilla from El Salvador.
[01:34:38]  Okay.
[01:34:39]  Typically made with cornmeal or rice flour and stuff with various fillings like beans, cheese, or pork.
[01:34:46]  Don't really need to know all of this.
[01:34:47]  You can stop it.
[01:34:48]  That was the best part of the story.
[01:34:49]  What do you think about it?
[01:34:51]  That kind of sounds interesting.
[01:34:52]  Okay, so her papusa stand was being harassed by a local gang.
[01:34:59]  Again, this is his telling.
[01:35:01]  And they were threatening to kill this guy.
[01:35:05]  He left, and he believes if he goes back to El Salvador, they're going to kill him.
[01:35:10]  Now, of course, the papusa stand is not even open anymore.
[01:35:14]  It doesn't even exist.
[01:35:15]  Yeah, so they're probably not carrying that grudge.
[01:35:17]  Weird grudge to carry over all these years.
[01:35:19]  Damn, Papusa stand still bothers me.
[01:35:21]  I've been retired for 10 years, but still bothers me to this day.
[01:35:26]  Let me ask you if he was, because he claimed that he had, you know, he was here for asylum, but he never claimed asylum until they arrested him.
[01:35:34]  And he was like, ah, have you heard the story of the papusa standing?
[01:35:39]  Right.
[01:35:40]  So it sounds awfully fishy to me.
[01:35:43]  Right.
[01:35:44]  And if I were the immigration judge, I would probably not have said he cannot be deported to El Salvador.
[01:35:51]  That being said, a judge, and this is when Trump was still president.
[01:35:55]  No.
[01:35:56]  This is not a Biden thing.
[01:35:58]  Okay, yeah.
[01:35:59]  Said you can't deport him there.
[01:36:01]  So we probably should not have deported him there.
[01:36:03]  By the way, this is something the Trump administration has admitted to, admitted to making a mistake.
[01:36:08]  That's okay.
[01:36:09]  Oh, well.
[01:36:10]  It sucks for the guy.
[01:36:11]  And so this is why the family is upset about it.
[01:36:13]  That being said, there's not a lot of evidence he's a wonderful human being and should be treated as they are treating him, right?
[01:36:20]  Sure, domestic violence, but that wasn't really proven.
[01:36:24]  It was just accused by his wife, who's now so totally in love with him.
[01:36:28]  Now it's accused of domestic violence before.
[01:36:32]  Now, can't believe this horrible government would take him.
[01:36:34]  He walked into a door.
[01:36:35]  It happens to me all the time.
[01:36:37]  That fell down the stairs.
[01:36:39]  That happens.
[01:36:40]  Anyway, Patty Moran was, well, her daughter was killed, and here's what she said yesterday from the White House.
[01:36:50]  Listen to this.
[01:36:51]  Please tell the truth.
[01:36:53]  Exactly.
[01:36:54]  Tell the truth.
[01:36:56]  Tell how violent it really is.
[01:36:59]  This is about protecting our children.
[01:37:03]  It's more than just politics or votes or just anything.
[01:37:09]  It's about national security, protecting Americans, protecting our children.
[01:37:14]  Thank you.
[01:37:15]  Thank you for listening.
[01:37:17]  Share your daughter's story.
[01:37:18]  Tell the truth.
[01:37:19]  And I think the country hears you loud and clear.
[01:37:21]  So thank you.
[01:37:23]  Does anyone have any questions for Patty or for me?
[01:37:30]  No?
[01:37:30]  No, no, questions.
[01:37:34]  Not going to ask the mom because I'll lose in that argument because it's not really about finding the truth.
[01:37:39]  It's about fashioning an argument.
[01:37:41]  And I'm not going to be the one that questions mom with the dead daughter.
[01:37:47]  Yeah, that's what they were thinking.
[01:37:48]  Nope, no questions here.
[01:37:49]  Don't look at me.

=== Tunnel to Towers (07:02) ===

[01:37:50]  They're not interested.
[01:37:51]  It's the same thing with, you know, Chris Van Hollen, right?
[01:37:55]  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:37:56]  Would you have known his name last week?
[01:37:59]  No.
[01:37:59]  I love this one because Chris Van Holland is a senator from a state.
[01:38:05]  From a state.
[01:38:05]  Right.
[01:38:07]  Who would have known?
[01:38:08]  Yeah.
[01:38:09]  Not even that state.
[01:38:10]  I'm not even sure that the people in his state.
[01:38:13]  I think if he went to the political media apparatus of this country and asked who is Chris Van Hollen, 95% of them said who?
[01:38:21]  Yes.
[01:38:21]  As of last week.
[01:38:22]  Yes.
[01:38:23]  But he's actually become my favorite part of the story, which is this pathetic attempt to take a vacation to El Salvador and try to free him or something.
[01:38:33]  He's going to bring him back.
[01:38:34]  And he goes to El Salvador and just nobody pays any attention to him.
[01:38:38]  He's totally ignored.
[01:38:40]  He's like, it's like if John Cusack went up and held up the boom box by the window and say anything and the girl just wasn't home.
[01:38:48]  You know, like it's like, it's just a pathetic, what a loser this guy is.
[01:38:53]  And he goes down there, gets absolutely nothing done.
[01:38:56]  He flies all the way down there for them to tell him, what are you even doing here?
[01:39:00]  No, we're not going to listen to you.
[01:39:01]  Who are you, by the way?
[01:39:02]  Who's Chris Van Holland?
[01:39:04]  And then the entire time, he's ignoring the families of people who have been murdered in his own constituents, family members that have been murdered by illegal immigrants.
[01:39:16]  They don't get calls.
[01:39:17]  They don't get mentions on his Twitter.
[01:39:18]  They get nothing.
[01:39:19]  And he flies all the way down there to try to free this guy who is beating his wife, allegedly, and was here illegally, not allegedly.
[01:39:28]  He admitted that.
[01:39:29]  And maybe most likely was a member of MS-13.
[01:39:33]  Okay.
[01:39:34]  We see the priorities of the left.
[01:39:36]  This is what it is.
[01:39:36]  Yes.
[01:39:37]  They care about that type of person, but not the family who had their daughter or son or other family member murdered.
[01:39:48]  They don't care.
[01:39:50]  Isn't it fascinating what they're choosing to stand for?
[01:39:53]  I mean, it really, I mean, you just can't.
[01:39:58]  How do you argue?
[01:39:59]  You're on the other side.
[01:40:00]  Hang on just a second.
[01:40:02]  So you're with the guy who came here illegally.
[01:40:06]  Maybe we don't have everything rock solid here, but this is the pattern.
[01:40:13]  And he's also not an American citizen.
[01:40:15]  So, you know, ship him back.
[01:40:18]  But what you're standing up for, that's the most important out of all of the things that are going on.
[01:40:25]  And you're not, you're reporting on that day and night, but you're not reporting on the mother who had her daughter killed, brutally killed.
[01:40:35]  You're not reporting on that at all?
[01:40:37]  Really?
[01:40:39]  Wow, that's incredible.
[01:40:43]  Incredible.
[01:40:45]  I mean, you cannot make this stuff up.
[01:40:49]  Also, I just want to let you know we're three miles away from a papusa stand.
[01:40:53]  Are we really?
[01:40:54]  We can get papusas to the studio at any moment.
[01:40:58]  You know, we babies or the no, no, we don't want we're not going to no, why would we want the babies in?
[01:41:04]  No.
[01:41:05]  Okay, this is the one this is.
[01:41:06]  I just want to make sure because I don't want you eating any babies.
[01:41:08]  There's multiple because I've heard you, you look at babies and you're like, I got you to eat you up.
[01:41:12]  And I'm like, no, don't do it, Stu.
[01:41:15]  Don't do it.
[01:41:16]  He's got, I got a whole stand of babies.
[01:41:20]  Yummy, Yeah, I've heard it from you.
[01:41:23]  Oh, good eat a leg.
[01:41:25]  You have to eat a leg.
[01:41:26]  No.
[01:41:26]  Yep.
[01:41:27]  No.
[01:41:27]  It's you.
[01:41:28]  You know, Glenn, I don't think people necessarily know that when you chose to move the studios here to Texas, you decided to put them in the most diverse city in America.
[01:41:39]  That's what I chose.
[01:41:40]  That's what I chose.
[01:41:41]  I said, where could we find where, what zip code is the most diverse in the entire country?
[01:41:48]  I said, that's where I want to build my studios.
[01:41:50]  And lo and behold, they were built right here in 1982.
[01:41:53]  And we occupied them as soon as we got here.
[01:41:56]  Well, you could have moved anywhere.
[01:41:58]  I mean, you moved to liter.
[01:41:59]  I mean, this is actually true.
[01:42:00]  Literally the most diverse city in America.
[01:42:02]  Do you have a Papusa stand within three miles?
[01:42:04]  Within three miles?
[01:42:05]  Probably not.
[01:42:06]  I can get Korean barbecue, papusa stuff, Indian food, Asian food.
[01:42:11]  We can eat anything we want.
[01:42:12]  Anything we want right here.
[01:42:13]  Barbecue.
[01:42:14]  Yeah.
[01:42:15]  It's right here.
[01:42:16]  Right here.
[01:42:17]  But I'm afraid if we go to the Papusa stand, that we will get terrorized.
[01:42:21]  Oh, will we get terrorized?
[01:42:22]  By a gang, or will we just get a bunch of babies?
[01:42:24]  No, I think we get babies.
[01:42:26]  I think they might terrorize us with a bunch of babies.
[01:42:28]  Here, eat this.
[01:42:28]  Wait a minute.
[01:42:29]  I don't want to.
[01:42:30]  A gang of babies.
[01:42:31]  Yeah, that's what happens.
[01:42:32]  It's the mean streets.
[01:42:33]  It's the mean streets.
[01:42:34]  This is the life we live.
[01:42:35]  You know, don't cry for me, Argentina.
[01:42:37]  Let me tell you about Tunnel to Towers.
[01:42:40]  This country is not perfect, but it's still the greatest nation on earth because the people who are willing to fight for it, to protect it, when called to lay down their life or everything for it, they wear uniforms.
[01:42:50]  They rush towards danger.
[01:42:52]  They raise the right hand.
[01:42:53]  They swear an oath to something bigger than themselves.
[01:42:55]  And when tragedy strikes, when a first responder dies in the line of duty or a soldier doesn't come home, it's not just his family that is left behind.
[01:43:07]  It's a debt.
[01:43:08]  The Tunnel to Towers Foundation exists to help pay that debt by honoring the sacrifice of America's heroes and supporting the families they leave behind.
[01:43:16]  You know, we treat our armed forces.
[01:43:23]  We treat our cops and firefighters.
[01:43:27]  We just let our government take care of it and they don't do anything.
[01:43:30]  I mean, how many veterans have to die?
[01:43:32]  I met two family members, two on two separate, I was giving a speech one night and I was at a meet and greet thing the next night and in separate cities.
[01:43:46]  And first night, somebody came up to me, brave, brave dad, and tears in his eyes.
[01:43:52]  And he said, look, I wasn't going to come, but I had to be here.
[01:43:55]  I just, I had to shake your hand and tell you about my son.
[01:43:59]  My son was in the service.
[01:44:00]  He just killed himself on Tuesday.
[01:44:03]  Okay.
[01:44:03]  The next day, and that just took my breath away.
[01:44:06]  The very next day, I meet a mom who said the same thing.
[01:44:09]  I'm here because my son, he killed himself.
[01:44:13]  He was in the service, and we've got to stop.
[01:44:16]  This is horrible.
[01:44:18]  This is horrible.
[01:44:19]  So what can we do?
[01:44:23]  Tunnel to Towers is doing their part.
[01:44:25]  And we could, if we want the government to do less, we have to do more.
[01:44:29]  America's heroes have given so much.
[01:44:31]  Together, we can say thank you in a lasting and meaningful way.
[01:44:35]  Please show your support.
[01:44:36]  Donate $11 a month to tunnel to towers at t2t.org.
[01:44:40]  That's t, the number2t.org.
[01:44:43]  10 seconds, stay short.

=== Why We Left Google (06:13) ===

[01:44:53]  You know, because we're in the most diverse area in the country, you know, it's just the way we live.
[01:44:58]  It's the way we roll.
[01:44:59]  You know, this is our scene, if you will.
[01:45:06]  You know, I just have to play something that, you know, it's happening in my life.
[01:45:11]  Could we play, can we play the insurgent video, please?
[01:45:16]  What?
[01:45:17]  It's contradictory to the story.
[01:45:22]  Or it's not a lie.
[01:45:24]  It's not a mistake.
[01:45:26]  It's not an error.
[01:45:27]  It's not something we have to apologize for.
[01:45:30]  Oh, dang.
[01:45:30]  Our story was contradictory to the facts.
[01:45:36]  You still have somebody on your payroll that is still continuing to further.
[01:45:41]  I mean, it just goes on like this for a little while, and then there's some rap.
[01:45:44]  Here we go.
[01:45:45]  and play the rap.
[01:46:00]  I mean, that's the way I roll.
[01:46:01]  This is the way.
[01:46:03]  And this is that shows that I'm not really.
[01:46:08]  What?
[01:46:10]  But anyway, I'm so, this is such my scene that came out two years ago.
[01:46:15]  And it did?
[01:46:17]  Yeah.
[01:46:17]  And somebody just brought it to my attention.
[01:46:20]  And I'm like, wait, I'm in a rap song?
[01:46:22]  I got to talk to this rapper because that's, I mean, that's what I, you know, this is my scene.
[01:46:27]  This is your scene.
[01:46:28]  This is my scene.
[01:46:28]  I mean, it sounds authentic when you say it that way.
[01:46:31]  Right?
[01:46:32]  Right?
[01:46:32]  I think he's going to be impressed with me.
[01:46:35]  Do you?
[01:46:38]  No.
[01:46:38]  No?
[01:46:39]  Not at all.
[01:46:43]  I mean, you have in the past on this program, you have performed a musical.
[01:46:48]  I have.
[01:46:49]  I have.
[01:46:50]  That was.
[01:46:50]  We actually did do that.
[01:46:51]  We actually did do that.
[01:46:53]  I got bored, really bored one week.
[01:46:55]  And I said to Stu, let's make a musical.
[01:46:57]  And we did the whole show as a musical.
[01:46:59]  It was.
[01:47:01]  People loved it.
[01:47:02]  They loved it.
[01:47:03]  They've been clamoring.
[01:47:04]  It's why you've heard so many other shows that have done it now.
[01:47:09]  They were clamoring for more.
[01:47:11]  Clamoring for more.
[01:47:12]  Yeah.
[01:47:12]  That was the only time we did it.
[01:47:14]  Actually, we've had many, many other opportunities, thousands of other shows.
[01:47:18]  It never comes to mind to do it again.
[01:47:19]  Never let's repeat that experiment.
[01:47:21]  Never does.
[01:47:22]  Never does.
[01:47:23]  No.
[01:47:24]  But Topher, you know, you probably have been to his website, tofertown.com.
[01:47:31]  I have.
[01:47:31]  Yeah.
[01:47:34]  He's known professionally as Topher.
[01:47:36]  He's an American rapper.
[01:47:38]  And, you know, put me for some reason.
[01:47:41]  And I don't think that helped his sales at all.
[01:47:46]  But I just want to ask him, what were you thinking?
[01:47:49]  Honestly.
[01:47:50]  And, you know, it is, it's Easter week.
[01:47:52]  So I thought this would be a time to ask for forgiveness for torching any possibility of a credible career that he had.
[01:48:02]  But so we're going to talk to him in just a second.
[01:48:06]  More on the news of the day next.
[01:48:22]  This is Glenn Beck.
[01:48:26]  NMLS 182334.
[01:48:27]  NMLS ConsumerAccess.org.
[01:48:29]  APR for Ritz in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
[01:48:33]  Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
[01:48:37]  You know, I don't think he's ever heard of me.
[01:48:39]  He's like a big deal.
[01:48:40]  On TikTok and stuff, he's like a big deal.
[01:48:42]  And it's like, who's Glenn Beck?
[01:48:44]  I put his what?
[01:48:46]  If you're feeling the pressure financially right now, you're not alone.
[01:48:48]  Groceries cost more.
[01:48:50]  Gas costs more.
[01:48:50]  Credit card balances keep growing.
[01:48:52]  You pay them every month, but they keep growing.
[01:48:55]  Somewhere in the middle of all of that, you're just trying to do the right thing.
[01:48:58]  You're trying to pay your bills, provide for your family, keep your head above water.
[01:49:02]  But debt is exhausting, not just financially, but mentally, emotionally, physically.
[01:49:07]  I mean, if you're in this situation, you probably are like, I don't want to even listen about this because you don't know what you don't know.
[01:49:14]  You don't know a way out.
[01:49:16]  You feel overwhelmed.
[01:49:18]  But that doesn't solve anything.
[01:49:19]  American Financing, they can help you.
[01:49:22]  They're not a bank.
[01:49:22]  They're not some faceless lender.
[01:49:24]  They're a family-owned business that helps people just like you restructure your finance so you can breathe easier.
[01:49:30]  In fact, you might be able to save up to $800 a month or even $1,000 a month, $830, I think is what the average listener of mine saves every month.
[01:49:41]  American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.
[01:49:45]  It's AmericanFinancing.net.
[01:50:04]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
[01:50:09]  Topher had, he's a rapper, American rapper.
[01:50:12]  He had the number one single in 2020, number one on the Billboard rap digital song sales chart debut album.
[01:50:23]  He came out with a, I'm sorry, I've just, I mean, I'm so hip.
[01:50:27]  I just found out.
[01:50:29]  He came out with another video and rap song, and it included my voice.
[01:50:35]  And somebody brought it to my attention, like, you know, you're on a really cool rap song.
[01:50:39]  And I'm like, of course I'm on a really cool fill in the blank, you know.
[01:50:45]  And I'm listening to it and I understand all the words of the rap.
[01:50:47]  I don't have any idea what I'm talking about in it.
[01:50:50]  Honestly, I was like, what the hell am I even talking about there?
[01:50:53]  Don't see how it relates, but we have Topher on with us.
[01:50:57]  He's a rapper and a songwriter and the creator of this song.
[01:51:01]  Topher, how are you?
[01:51:03]  What's going on, Mr. Glenn?

=== When Words Offend (14:42) ===

[01:51:06]  Yeah, I'm right on time, aren't I?
[01:51:08]  I'm right here.
[01:51:09]  Right on time.
[01:51:10]  Yeah.
[01:51:11]  I was hoping that you one day, you know, caught winning that song.
[01:51:16]  I've always been a fan of your work.
[01:51:17]  Thank you.
[01:51:18]  Thank you very much.
[01:51:19]  You know, first of all, I'm sorry for any delay and also sorry for any damage that I've done to your career by being on that song, but it wasn't my choice.
[01:51:29]  I was just a bad choice by you.
[01:51:32]  Let me ask you, we are seeing so many changes in culture.
[01:51:36]  Saturday Night Live, we talked about yesterday.
[01:51:42]  Are you seeing changes in the culture now?
[01:51:45]  Is it different than when you made that song in 2022 or the, you know, the other climb of the charts in 2020?
[01:51:55]  Absolutely.
[01:51:56]  And the reason why is, you say you don't remember what you were talking about in that clip, but it was around the same time where we had the ultra censorship we saw from social media and Mark Zuckerberg and all these people came out and said that the government was suppressing speech or they were encouraged to do so.
[01:52:16]  And so that's what you were talking about.
[01:52:18]  You had paid operatives that was spreading lies and we still have that today.
[01:52:24]  And so what that video I talked about was some of the things that were lies.
[01:52:29]  But by the time the truth comes out six months later, it's too late.
[01:52:34]  It's too late for so many people to do something about it.
[01:52:36]  And what's happening is because of this repeated cycle and pattern, people have started to see what we saw four years ago and they're starting to switch size because it's one thing to be wrong.
[01:52:53]  It's another thing to deceptively deceive somebody into believing the truth.
[01:52:58]  And then when they find out, they don't trust you anymore.
[01:53:01]  Yeah, except they're not changing at all.
[01:53:03]  It's the weirdest thing.
[01:53:07]  I don't know if they just believe the lies that they've been told themselves and then told themselves, or if they just don't care because the ends justify the means and they somehow or another think that their big platform, which isn't big anymore because of their lies, is somehow or another going to save them.
[01:53:25]  Well, you know, somebody once said that I take a lie to the grave.
[01:53:30]  And I think some of them have just decided to do that.
[01:53:33]  But that's why we, you know, your show, Charlie Kirk and other big conservative voices and influences have to keep our, you know, quote unquote hands on their necks, right?
[01:53:45]  Yeah.
[01:53:46]  So we can continue to choke out some of the lies and shake loose the truth that has been suppressed for so many years so people can deal with it.
[01:53:55]  You know, I'm a firm believer in trying to fight confirmation bias and really know and get to know the truth because it's hard to build relationships.
[01:54:05]  It's hard to unite if what we're building is based on false reality.
[01:54:10]  Yeah.
[01:54:11]  Not true.
[01:54:12]  So even if the truth, I can't stand it.
[01:54:15]  Someone once said, it says, the truth will offend you only once, but a lie will offend you or upset you every time you remember it.
[01:54:27]  So just give me the truth.
[01:54:30]  When I look at music, I look back to the 60s and the message was everywhere.
[01:54:36]  I mean, it was, you know, peace and love and everything, sex, drugs, all of it was everywhere in every song almost.
[01:54:45]  And the left had really captured it.
[01:54:47]  And it was a different message than it is now.
[01:54:50]  But it still was the message of a movement.
[01:54:54]  You hear songs today on the radio, and it's almost completely disconnected from what's really happening in America, except for a few.
[01:55:06]  But it's like they captured the government.
[01:55:12]  They captured all the controls of power.
[01:55:15]  And they captured Hollywood and kept it.
[01:55:17]  But for some reason, why isn't the music industry involved in everything that's going on?
[01:55:26]  Well, I think they play a part, you know, just kind of just like Hollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole, you know, even in sports, right?
[01:55:36]  Because, you know, for the Super Bowl, it was the only time they removed Black Lives Matter or end racism.
[01:55:43]  So you see this all around.
[01:55:46]  And what I'm starting to see is when you get a strong leader like we have now, people are more emboldened to be or are less likely to acquiesce to the demands.
[01:55:59]  Yes.
[01:55:59]  You know, and so we're starting to see that pushback.
[01:56:03]  Even United Kingdom and countries across the world are starting to be like, okay, there's only two genders now.
[01:56:09]  You know, Trump has come out and stood against it.
[01:56:11]  And we have organizations that just needed someone that they can look up to and they feel like has their back.
[01:56:20]  They know it's wrong, but they need to know somebody has their back.
[01:56:24]  Because, I mean, when you own a corporation or you're in charge of a large organization, you can't just be petty in your ethics, right?
[01:56:34]  In your morality.
[01:56:36]  So sometimes you got to think about somebody else's livelihood and families and kids.
[01:56:39]  But when you can be in a position now that we have somebody, this strong administration, now you can be like, I can take on some of the risks without having the same blow like I had before.
[01:56:49]  Do you think that the people that are changing these corporations, do you think it's real, lasting?
[01:56:54]  Or is it just a, well, we're just going to say this now and hopefully our guy will get back in and we'll be back to business.
[01:57:01]  Oh, it's all about the money.
[01:57:03]  So I don't trust them as far as I could throw them.
[01:57:06]  I know they're just looking at the money.
[01:57:08]  But that being said, while they're doing this, we need to take advantage of this spin.
[01:57:15]  So when the next four years come around, they won't be as Enticed to go to the other side as they previously had because we want to make sure that we're in positions of power, we're in positions of influence and control to where they still will listen to what we design, things like that.
[01:57:39]  We got to do better as a society, as a people.
[01:57:42]  And I'm glad to see things start to turn around, but we cannot let up.
[01:57:46]  How do you think the president's doing so far?
[01:57:50]  So far, it's some good things that I'm happy about.
[01:57:55]  I'm happy about the Title IX that he's going strong against these college universities and institutions.
[01:58:01]  Big time.
[01:58:02]  Making sure that we keep men out of women's sports.
[01:58:05]  I'm glad about the borders.
[01:58:07]  I mean, I think February we had one cash and release, which is incredible.
[01:58:12]  I'm happy about the tariffs.
[01:58:15]  And I know everyone's complaining because of increased this, increased that.
[01:58:18]  I'm like, the terrorists are forcing countries to the negotiation table, and that's what it's all about.
[01:58:24]  He knows that he doesn't want to make this permanent.
[01:58:26]  So I like that about it.
[01:58:28]  Companies are coming back and rebuilding infrastructure, manufacturing plants in the U.S. Jobs are returning.
[01:58:34]  So I love that.
[01:58:36]  And, you know, it's just to me, he's doing a great job within the first 100 days.
[01:58:42]  We'll have to see what it looks like from a year from now.
[01:58:44]  Does it come from the real?
[01:58:46]  Yeah.
[01:58:47]  We just got to give it time.
[01:58:48]  You know, we can't expect the world to change in three months.
[01:58:51]  If it did, that tells me that my whole idea of what it means to be president and how government ran has been false.
[01:58:59]  If he can change the world in three months, what have we been doing?
[01:59:02]  I know.
[01:59:02]  These last decades.
[01:59:04]  Well, you know, I've told this story before.
[01:59:05]  Stu, you remember when I went to meet with George Bush to get yelled at in the Oval Office?
[01:59:10]  He wasn't happy with me one day.
[01:59:11]  And he said, he tried to make me feel better.
[01:59:17]  It was the day that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were still winning against Barack Obama.
[01:59:22]  And Barack Obama said, you know what?
[01:59:25]  I would just fly planes into Pakistan.
[01:59:28]  I'd just bomb Pakistan.
[01:59:29]  At that time, they were an ally.
[01:59:31]  And I said, Mr. President, before I leave, what do you make of that?
[01:59:36]  And to make me feel better, and it made me feel much worse, he said, Glenn, don't worry.
[01:59:41]  Whatever happens, whoever gets into this office, when they sit behind this chair, they'll have the same people advising them that have advised me.
[01:59:48]  And they'll realize the president's hands are tied, that you really can't do very much as president.
[01:59:56]  And so have a good day.
[01:59:58]  And I walked out of there and I was like, oh, my gosh, that is not comforting at all.
[02:00:02]  That's why we keep getting the same stuff.
[02:00:04]  And I think that's what Donald Trump found out in 2016.
[02:00:08]  And that's why he's able to make so many moves this time is because he knew that and he cleared all of those people out or as many as he could in his second term.
[02:00:19]  Absolutely.
[02:00:20]  And that's why I was so ecstatic about his second return.
[02:00:25]  And I've been, I went to a lot of his campaign runs and rallies, and I just, that's what I knew.
[02:00:31]  That's why he has people who came from the left.
[02:00:33]  I mean, Tulsa Gabbard, you know, like I said, Elon Musk, several other people who was on the fence, RFK Jr., so many people that came from that side because he's willing to just get people who want to get something done.
[02:00:46]  Yes.
[02:00:46]  You know, you don't see this.
[02:00:48]  This is something different from any administration we've seen in the last, what, 10, 20 years.
[02:00:52]  You know, and so when people say that he's polarizing, he doesn't want to hear from anybody else.
[02:00:57]  I'm like, he's literally the guy listening to everyone.
[02:01:00]  Yeah.
[02:01:01]  And he's trying to make America great again, you know, for everyone.
[02:01:05]  And I'm hoping that, once again, people calm down, just give it some time, be patient.
[02:01:12]  It's going to be all right.
[02:01:13]  You know, it's going to be fine.
[02:01:14]  Tofra, great to talk to you.
[02:01:15]  Thank you so much.
[02:01:16]  Hope to talk to you again.
[02:01:18]  I appreciate that, Glenn.
[02:01:19]  You bet.
[02:01:20]  Bye-bye.
[02:01:20]  Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
[02:01:22]  Stories coming out of Israel right now.
[02:01:24]  Some of them are really hard to hear, hard to hear about the elderly Israelis that don't have food, children, you know, having to hide from random rocket fire, families forced to flee their homes again with nothing but what they can carry.
[02:01:38]  For them, fear is a daily reality, but it's amazing how courageous the Israelis are.
[02:01:43]  They really don't live in fear.
[02:01:46]  They just live through it.
[02:01:48]  In the middle of the heartbreak, there is hope, and it often is coming from people like you in this audience.
[02:01:53]  The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground every day in Israel, every single day, delivering food, medicine, shelter, comfort to those in desperate need.
[02:02:03]  Many of them are elderly, survivors of past horrors, now facing new threats in the very land they prayed to see restored.
[02:02:11]  Your gift, whatever you can give, becomes groceries for that person, safety for a child.
[02:02:16]  It's a tangible reminder to God's people that they're not alone.
[02:02:20]  This is what faith looks like in action.
[02:02:22]  So join me with the fellowship of Christians and Jews and show the Jews in Israel that we as Christians aren't the same as we were before.
[02:02:31]  Give a gift to bless Israel and her people by visiting supportifcj.org.
[02:02:35]  That's one word.
[02:02:36]  Supportifcj.org or call 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-IFCJ.
[02:02:48]  You ever seen a liberal's hands smoother than a snake on oil?
[02:02:53]  Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word retarded than the word work.
[02:02:59]  Glenn Beck will be right back.
[02:03:20]  Welcome to the program.
[02:03:23]  So, by the way, the Papusas are on the way.
[02:03:26]  Are they really?
[02:03:26]  No, I have ordered them.
[02:03:28]  They are coming.
[02:03:29]  They're going to be here, I think, right after the end of the show.
[02:03:31]  Can they walk yet?
[02:03:32]  Or are they...
[02:03:33]  No, no, this is the food again, Glenn.
[02:03:35]  This is...
[02:03:36]  It's like three, they're less than three miles away.
[02:03:38]  They're in a car on our way to our.
[02:03:40]  So we're eating babies.
[02:03:42]  Anyway, you know, there's a story that we're going to hit tomorrow that happened on a Sunday morning, just last Sunday morning, 2.50 in the morning, standing in the shadows of the governor's residence in Harrisburg.
[02:03:59]  Guy named Cody, Cody Ballmer.
[02:04:03]  He decided that he wanted to kill Josh Shapiro and the governor and his family because he's a monster.
[02:04:13]  He's a monster to all the Palestinians.
[02:04:15]  And he said, I can't sit idly by while his crimes go unchecked.
[02:04:20]  My friends were killed and murdered because they dared to speak for Palestine and Shapiro with his Jewish faith, his unwavering support for Israel, he's complicit in genocide.
[02:04:33]  And I'll scream it until my last breath.
[02:04:36]  I'm standing for justice and the oppressed and for the oppressed and for the voiceless.
[02:04:42]  So he was going to be a voice for everybody.
[02:04:43]  Are you?
[02:04:44]  Are you standing for that?
[02:04:45]  That's interesting.
[02:04:47]  Well, yeah, of course he was.
[02:04:48]  I'm sad that his voice is being silenced because I heard so much about the potential, possible.
[02:04:59]  Didn't seem all that serious when you looked at the details.
[02:05:02]  Kidnapping of Gretchen Whitmer.
[02:05:04]  Yeah.
[02:05:04]  That's weird.
[02:05:05]  I think it's been everywhere for a very long time.
[02:05:08]  Yeah, they were going to kidnap her and kill her.
[02:05:10]  They didn't.
[02:05:12]  In fact, it turns out that whole case was thrown out because it looks like there were more FBI agents involved than anybody else.
[02:05:19]  But they, man, they made a big deal out of that for, what, a year?
[02:05:24]  At least?
[02:05:25]  A year?
[02:05:26]  Until then they had the January 6th thing, which strangely, you know, had the same FBI people involved, but don't look there at all.
[02:05:35]  That was a big deal.
[02:05:36]  That was a really big deal with Governor Whitmer, who they didn't get.
[02:05:39]  This guy actually broke into the house, set the house on fire.
[02:05:45]  The family was there.
[02:05:46]  Nobody seems to care.
[02:05:47]  No one seems to care.
[02:05:48]  And you know what?

=== Why Democrats Ignore This Murder (01:21) ===

[02:05:49]  I have a sneaky suspicion that if it was some Proud Boys member, I think we'd be hearing a little bit more.
[02:05:58]  Since it happens to be that this guy, who, by the way, is a leading Democratic presidential candidate, potentially, is Jewish and the perpetrator here is aligned with the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party, all of a sudden we're not hearing much about it at all.
[02:06:18]  Doesn't seem to be much of a priority at all, not a big deal at all.
[02:06:21]  That's fascinating.
[02:06:22]  And I know, my hope is, Glenn, that this potential murderer will not be lionized like the United Healthcare murderer was because he's not quite as attractive.
[02:06:33]  So I'm hoping that maybe we'll avoid the cultish behavior toward him.
[02:06:39]  But it is fascinating to see how these things turn out.
[02:06:42]  It's one of these things that if you happen to be a Democrat, you have to ask yourself, wait a minute, that doesn't.
[02:06:48]  Why isn't why aren't why aren't people making a bigger deal out of that?
[02:06:53]  I wonder why.
[02:06:53]  Am I in the wrong?
[02:06:54]  Are we the baddies?
[02:06:55]  Might be a question you want to ask yourself.
[02:06:57]  Yeah.
[02:06:58]  Is that us?
[02:06:59]  Are we the ones?
[02:07:00]  Yeah.
[02:07:00]  Huh.
[02:07:01]  Just want to skit, the baddies, it comes from wearing Nazi uniforms, also closely aligned with the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party.
