Representative James Comer and Ilay David confront Adam Schiff's alleged authorization of classified leaks to smear Donald Trump, citing whistleblower reports that DOJ officials dismissed these violations under the Speech and Debate Clause. The discussion contrasts federal crime control strategies in Washington D.C., noting homicide rates remain seven times higher than New York City despite statistical redefinitions, while linking RussiaGate and COVID-19 conspiracies to a corrupt military-industrial complex. Ultimately, the episode argues that expanding government power inevitably turns it against citizens, urging immediate humanitarian access for hostages and exposing media collusion as a threat to the rule of law.

Let me talk to you a little bit about Ammo Squared.
Do you remember the great ammo shortage of 2020?
Yeah.
Yeah.

Now let's get to work.
Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glen Beck Program.
Well, there's two approaches, America, to what we're facing today.
One is Donald Trump.
Here's what he said yesterday on fixing DC crime.
I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor, and worse.
This is Liberation Day in D.C., and we're going to take our capital back.
We're taking it back.
Under the authorities vested in me as the President of the United States, I'm officially invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
You know what that is?
And placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control, and you'll be meeting the people that will be directly involved with that.
Very good people, but they're tough.
And they know what's happening and they've done it before.
In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order, and public safety in Washington, D.C., and they're going to be allowed to do their job properly.
Okay, now the other approach we are hearing now from Betto.
How's this guy even a newsmaker is beyond me, but this is Betto's approach.
We don't await the punch thrown by these would-be fascists to land.
We punch first and we punch harder.
We want California and New Jersey and Illinois and Maryland and every other state where the Democrats hold the governor's mansion, the Assembly, and the state senate to redraw their congressional districts now, not wait for Texas to move first to maximize Democratic Party advantage.
Listen, you may say to yourself, well, those aren't the rules.
There are no refs in this game.
The rules.
We are going to win whatever it takes.
We're going to take this to them in every way that we can.
Okay, so F the rules is his deal.
One is saying we need to return to a rule of law, and the other is saying there are no rules.
One is actually looking out for the people on the streets, and the other is playing politics.
I don't know how you read it any other way, America, but we're going to talk about what the president is doing in the District of Columbia in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
If you've ever driven a car that's just slightly out of alignment, you know how subtle but relentless that problem can be.
You adjust the wheel a little, it seems fine until it pulls off course again.
And living with pain is a lot like that.
It just, it doesn't necessarily stop you cold.
It just keeps you tugging every day until you realize you're spending more time and energy fighting it than actually living.

Welcome back to the program.
Stu Bergier, our executive producer.
Happy to be back, Glenn.
Yeah.
Well, I'm happy to have you back.
Really amiss you.
Yeah.
So the president yesterday taking control of our capital back and he said this, cut three.
Listen.
City, you know, my father always used to tell me, I had a wonderful father, very smart.
And he used to say, son, when you walk into a restaurant and you see a dirty front door, don't go in.
Because if the front door is dirty, the kitchen's dirty also.
Same thing with the Capitol.
If our Capitol is dirty, our whole country is dirty and they don't respect us.
It's absolutely true.
You know what this is?
This is the broken windows theory.
The broken windows theory is something that Rudy Giuliani used to turn New York around.
And that theory is no one, no one picks up a rock or, you know, can or a bottle or something.
If you're in a nice neighborhood that's clean and everything else, you don't pick up a rock and break a window.
However, if you're in a neighborhood where there's a lot of broken windows and everything's broken down, the average person is much more likely to pick up a rock and throw it through a window.
Why?
Because the entire neighborhood says we don't care.
So what Rudy Giuliani did was he used this theory and he cleaned up the, he cleaned up the subways by doing a couple of things.
First thing he did was he made sure that if you were jumping the turnstile for the subway, you were stopped right there.
Before, people just weren't paying a fare.
They were just jumping the turnstile and nobody was doing anything about it.
He said, no one crosses that turnstile.
Now, what is it?
A dollar?
to ride the subway?
No one rides it for free.
And so he put police right there and they stopped you and arrested you if you were jumping the turnstile.
The second thing he did was he stopped the graffiti.
He said, I don't care if they have to be repainted every single day.
When those things pull into the station at night, if we get there in the morning and they have been spray painted, I want them all painted again and then they go out.
Well, everything had been covered in graffiti.
And when he changed those two things, all of a sudden, the attitude of the subway, it became safe again because it was sending a signal to the bad guys and the good guys, we care.
We're not going to let this happen anymore.
So what he's saying here about dirty doorstep means a dirty kitchen is absolutely true.
Have you ever gone into a restaurant and gone into their bathroom and you're like, oh boy, oh God, I can't eat now.
Because if the bathroom for the customer is like that, what is their kitchen like where the customer never sees it?
That's what he's doing.
And he has the absolute right to do it.
He's got 30 days before he has to bring Congress into it.
This is the, back in 1973, Congress passed this Home Rule Act.
And they didn't have a mayor.
They didn't have a city council.
They didn't have any of those things.
This has been from the beginning of our country.
The founders wanted the District of Columbia to be a district that is a federal district run by the federal government, not by local rule.
And in 1973, they started that.
And it was all just to get them to be declared a state.
First a city with a mayor, then we have, you know, we should have power to elect the president of the United States, yada, yada, yada.
This has not worked.
This has been an experiment that has not worked at all.
So he can deploy the National Guard for law enforcement because there is no governor of D.C.
He can use it for emergencies, crowd control, and to execute federal laws.
However, he just declared an emergency.
Now, under the Home Rule Act, he can assume control of the Metro PD, which he didn't, for up to 48 hours during special conditions of emergency.
And that time period can be extended.
But what he's doing here is he's using these 30 days, hoping that the Home Rule Act is going to be repealed.
Only Congress can repeal that, but there's movements to repeal it now.
And if Congress repeals the Home Rule Act, then this nonsense in the District of Columbia is over.
And if anyone tells you, oh, well, you know what?
The crime stats are going down.
To what?
To what?
Even if they went down to 2019 standards, is that good enough?
I mean, it is still more dangerous than walking around in Bogota, Colombia.
It is twice as dangerous as walking around in Islamabad.
I don't know.
I don't think that's really a good thing.
And by the way, they changed the way you're a stat person.
Did you read this about the stats?
Now that they're playing with them.
Oh my God.
Playing with them?
Felony assault is not considered a violent crime now in their crime stats.
Felony, not assault, felony assault.
Right.
Felony means usually prison is tied to that.
Yeah.
Not just some easy misdemeanor where you get your hands slapped.
Felony assault.
Yeah.
If you're not going to include that, it's hard to even take it seriously.
But your point, I think, is more crucial to this than even the statistical games.
Yeah.
Because they're bragging about getting it back to 2019 levels or maybe a tick below, but that's not good.
No, it's not.
What you're saying is acceptable is not acceptable.
That's the message from the White House.
And it's like, I would love to see, and we're seeing it so far, I would love to see the Democrats try to win that battle with those rules.
If you're trying to tell me, because we were there for the inauguration, and of course, that was police everywhere.
Police everywhere.
It's a totally different thing.
If I had a guy threaten my life and not for political reasons, just because I think he was bat crap crazy.
Yeah.
Right.
I mean, you know, a lot of sane people threaten your life on a regular basis.
I get that.
This is a nut job.
Yeah.
But like, I mean, unless you're at the mall during the day, it's, and even there can get sketchy at times.
Oh, yeah.
But like you feel it.
You feel it.
Anyone who goes there knows this.
You want to stay inside your hotel room.
And you know what?
Everybody knows this.
Washington Post, this is a story on how safe the city is.
This is a safe city, but overhearing the witness gang threats and then watching the camera footage of the thuggery is disturbing, said one resident, speaking on the condition of amonity.
Anonymity.
Anonymity.
Yes.
Over concerns of personal safety.
So I don't want my name in the paper because I'm afraid of the thugs finding out who I am and killing me.
But it's perfectly safe.
Oh my gosh.
Everyone knows this.
Oh, I know they.
Anyone who's ever been to D.C., you know it by walking around.
Weird crap happens to you.
People approach you in threatening ways.
You know, Ricky told me just a few minutes ago that she was our executive producer.
And she was, she said, last time I was in D.C. and she lived in D.C. for many, many years.
She said, I was in my old neighborhood.
She said, I used to walk at, you know, two o'clock in the morning.
I never had a problem with that.
And she said, I went to this restaurant and I was there with a friend.
And I was, I'd gone there a million times.
She says it's in the middle of the day within within just a few minutes.
She's sitting on a patio outside.
Some huge guy, she said, 300 pounds, at least six feet, comes up and says, I'm going to kill you and starts threatening her and her life.
They call cops.
It takes them 15 minutes.
She's not far from the Capitol.
15 minutes to get there.
And then they don't do anything about him.
She's like, anybody who says that this isn't happening has just never been there.
Here's an ABC anchor.
Now, remember, their whole spin is, oh, this is fascism.
There's no, there's a safe city.
Listen to this ABC anchor.
Listen to this.
Cut one.
We've been talking so much about the numbers.
And yeah, usually that's how you play devil's advocate is you talk about, oh, well, stats say crime is down.
However, I can tell you firsthand here in downtown D.C. where we work, right here around our bureau, just in the past six months, there were two people shot.
One person died literally two blocks down here from the bureau.
It was within the last two years that I actually was jumped walking just two blocks down from here.
And then just this morning, one of my coworkers said her car was stolen a block away from the bureau.
So we can talk about the numbers going down, but crime is happening every single day because we're all experiencing it firsthand while working and living down here.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Here's, go ahead.
I was going to say, you know, I was on vacation last week.
You know, it's like me saying I'm cutting my calories from vacation levels to normal levels.
It's still not healthy.
Right.
Like it's just, it's not, even if there is an improvement from 2023, which some numbers do show, although the numbers are questionable, 2023 was just absolute catastrophe.
And this is just terrible.
Right.
Like that, like there's no reason to embrace this norm as the norm.
So let me give you, I'm going to show you the response.
The response on the left.
Here is, show the full screen here of the free DC.
This came out yesterday.
Free DC.
Like it's under some fascist.
Free DC.
Look at this deal.
And what it says is it is encouraging residents to protest Trump's federalizing of the city's police force.
And what it wants to do is starting tonight at 8 p.m.
And then every night, go out to stop this occupation.
Go out and bring pots and pans and bang on them.
And then when your neighbors go, what the hell is wrong with you?
Say, don't you care about the fascistic government that is people will love that.
This is crazy.
This is crazy.
If Donald Trump, and I think with Janine Pirro, I think some things are going to be happening quickly there.
He actually has a chance, and I don't think he's doing it this way for this reason.
But he actually has a chance of turning D.C. Republican because you're living in that.
Imagine March.
It's hard to imagine, but imagine living there.
And now you're seeing your side that you've always voted for saying it's not so bad.
And you know it's bad.
You can't have your wife go out to the grocery store at night.
You've had your car jacked.
You've had maybe crazy people on the streets.
And then he's doing something.
And if it works, if it works, people will be like, you know what?
I'm sorry, but that is a better solution.
He's doing, this is very brilliant of him.
He's very good at this.
He knows where people live, you know, spiritually and physically.
He knows right where they live and where they're living in Washington, D.C. is a hellhole.
And everybody there knows it.
And if he can actually change their lives, he changes everything.
All right, back in just a second.
Let me tell you about Lear Capital.
If you could step forward 10 years and see the world as it soon will be, what do you think it would be like?
What would you see?
Would you be looking back at all and saying, geez, I wish I would have taken action while I still could.
That's the thing about economic storms.
You rarely see them coming until you're already in the middle of one.
And then it's too late.
Late to start building a roof over your head when it's raining.
Gold and silver have been a financial shelter for thousands of years, surviving the fall of great empires, market crashes, currency collapses, governments that love spending other people's money.
It's not a gamble.
It is a hedge.
It's a buffer between you and everything you've worked hard for to be able to save so you could retire.
Save for that unforeseen event that wipes everything else out.
Lear Capital makes it really simple to put physical gold or silver into your hands or even right into your retirement count.
So you're not just hoping for the best.
You're ready for whatever happens next.
Please call Lear Capital today, 800-957-GOL, 800-957 Gold.
get your free $4,200 gold report and when you call 800-957 GOLD ask them about getting up to $15,000 in free gold or silver with qualifying purchase call 800-957-GOL 800-957 Gold.
Ten seconds and back to the show.
So there's a little ground that President Trump would need to make up to make D.C. a Republican district.
Now, I know you might not be saying that it's going to turn fully Republican.
I don't think it's a dream to turn it purple.
Now, he's made up a little bit of ground in his three elections.
Okay.
Okay.
So in 2016, against Hillary Clinton, he lost 91 to 4.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
So there's a little room to grow.
There's room to grow.
A little room to grow.
And he was able to achieve that in 2020 when he lost 92 to 5.
So he went from 4 to 5% there.
He is rocketing.
And then in 2024, he lost 90 to 6.
So he went from losing by 87 points to losing by 84 points.
Check that out for the next 20 elections.
By like 2,600.
He's going to be winning.
It's going to be solidly blue.
But again, those, he didn't do any of the things you're talking about in between them.
Subpoenas, Oversight, and the Clintons00:15:37
No.
This is a totally new approach.
And I do agree with you that when your life changes, those numbers can change quickly.
Quickly.
Quickly.
Did you see the, I saw a video of a woman from California, and I think I retweeted it yesterday, and it's filled with profanity.
But it is this woman who appears to be formerly liberal, and she's from California.
And she's like, Gavin, can you shut up about Donald Trump?
Have you seen what our lives are like here?
Fix California.
Stop worrying about Donald Trump.
Fix California.
This is why Betto is going to be very popular with people who are the revolutionaries, where he's like, oh, we're going to get him and we're going to fight dirty.
You've already been fighting dirty.
How much dirtier can you get?
I mean, except for the loaded gun, which is coming.
It's already here, gang.
But anyway, that's going to sell to the protesters on the streets, but that's not going to sell.
83 or 86% of Americans every day worry about the cost of food.
That's a staggering number.
Do you see what's happening in Maryland with the rolling blackouts now?
Why?
Because they're getting off coal and everything else.
And so now they're having rolling blackouts.
That's not going to last.
When you start really affecting people's everyday life and somebody else says, I can fix that, and they demonstrate that they can, you lose.
Your side loses because you're only pitching the same old crap.
Remember this?
This is what they were saying about Barack Obama.
Republicans don't have any new ideas, but he's coming with a new plan.
Well, these are actually very old ideas or follow the Constitution ideas, use common sense ideas, but it's new to so many Americans who had bought into this lie on the other side.

You don't want to miss James Comer.
He's coming up next.
We're going to talk about the Epstein subpoenas on Clintons.
We'll get to that here in a second.
First, American financing, sometimes the most dangerous words in personal finance is, I'll deal with it later.
Yeah.
You keep making the minimum payments, hoping somehow the interest is going to slow down, but it doesn't seem to.
You watch the balance creep up like a shadow across your future, and then there's a feeling in your stomach that says, I know where this is headed.
But what do you do?
What if today you broke that cycle?
American financing has helped countless people take back control, rolling high interest rate debt into a new mortgage or refinancing with a much lower rate.
They can help you keep more of what you own every single month.
Money that you can use for savings, for paying off the principal, or food, just breathing easier without the weight in your chest.

So, John Solomon broke some news yesterday about the FBI and Schiff.
And Adam Schiff is in real trouble.
Real trouble.
And we'll get into that here in just a second.
Also, Representative James Comer, he is from Kentucky.
He is currently the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
And the House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed now both Hillary and Bill Clinton for testimony on Jeffrey Epstein.
And methinks this might have been a setup the whole time, but I'm probably wrong on that because it's brilliant.
It got everybody on the right or on the left saying, we got it, we're going to subpoena.
Okay, well, let's start with Bill and Hillary Clinton, and they've issued the subpoenas, and let's see where this goes now.
James Comer is with us now.
Hello, James.
How are you, sir?
I'm well.
Thanks for having me on.
Yeah.
So do I have this pretty much anything to confirm or deny on this theory of mine that this is going to work out unfortunately or an unfortunate way with the Democrats?
Well, you know, the Democrats were, you know, they have Trump derangement syndrome and everything's about Donald Trump.
And they had been signaling for days in an oversight committee hearing that they were going to make a motion to subpoena the Epstein files.
Scott Perry from Pennsylvania, good member on the oversight committee, good Republican.
When they made that emotion, he amended it to include subpoenas for six former attorneys general, Republican and Democrat, as well as Bill and Hillary Clinton.
And they voted for it.
And the significance of them voting for that amendment, and it passed, of course, in a bipartisan manner, is that if you normally send a former president a subpoena, the odds of that subpoena ever coming to fruition would be slim.
But in this case, Glenn, they voted in a bipartisan manner, Republicans and Democrats, to subpoena both Bill and Hillary Clinton.
That carries weight in court, and everyone in America wants to know what was going on at Epstein Island.
It's not just a Democrat issue or Republican issue.
Democrats want to know because they hope and pray Donald Trump had something, you know, some liability there.
But Republicans want to know, too, because we believe there was a cover-up.
We believe the government knew more than what's been out there.
We believe there's probably some kind of list somewhere.
So I think that what happened in the Oversight Committee is going to lead us to being able to ask Bill and Hillary Clinton questions for the first time ever.
Okay, so let me ask you just to play devil's advocate and to be fair, are there plans to subpoena any Republicans or friends and associates of Republicans or friends of Donald Trump?
Well, I don't guess Bill Barr is his friend, but he was one of the attorneys general.
There are two Republican AGs that were on the list, and we'll go wherever the investigation leads.
Look, this is not a partisan issue.
Republicans are equally as curious and interested in what was going on in Epstein Island.
I've been in Kentucky for two weeks now.
My son plays baseball.
I go to baseball fields all over the state watching him.
And people come up to me.
These aren't political people.
And they know that I issued the subpoenas.
I subpoenaed Pam Bondi for the Epstein files.
And I don't think that's gotten a lot of press and probably didn't make many friends with the administration.
But people want to know.
And that's what people are coming up to all of my colleagues, not just the Freedom Caucus guys and the ones that are on TV all the time, just the normal, moderate Republicans.
This is what people want to know.
I mean, they're curious about Epstein, and we're serious about it as well.
Well, I'm glad to hear that because I've never seen anything like it.
This story is not going away.
I mean, it just, it has to be.
You have to lance this boy and just let the drain it and let it be what it is.
Based on what you've seen so far, do you believe the Clintons had knowledge of the criminal activities on the island?
Well, I believe that the Clintons were very close with Epstein.
And we know that Clinton went there a few times.
I don't know if he went as many times as some conservative outlets have reported, but he may have gone more.
I don't know, but we're going to find out.
And this is a serious thing.
You have two people that were charged, both Epstein and Maxwell.
Was the government involved?
Was the government spying on people that were there?
Was the government turning a blind eye to the sex trafficking of underage girls?
I mean, there are so many questions that every American has.
And I think the fact that Clinton was there so many times, Maxwell was at Bill and Hillary at Chelsea Clinton's wedding.
So obviously the Clintons thought a lot of Maxwell.
So we just have questions.
I'm not trying to embarrass the president or anything.
We'll have to have every I dotted and T crossed if we get him in.
But normally the prospect of getting a former president in to a congressional committee deposition is slim to none.
There have been two this last century that were subpoenaed by Congress, and Trump was one of them.
Neither made it to Congress.
But what makes this different is the Democrats voted for this too.
And I think they got in trouble with Hakeem Jeffries and probably the Clintons when the committee was over because they were so focused on just subpoenaing the Epstein files, they left their guard down for the Clintons.
And that's what the Democrats have always done.
They've always played defense for the Clintons and the Bidens and all the corrupt deep state.
But I'm hopeful that this bipartisan vote will help us in court because this subpoena will go to court, make no mistake about it.
And hopefully we've got good attorneys.
Our attorneys that represent us in court are through Mike Johnson's office.
So hopefully they'll do a good job.
Do you have any concerns about the potential interference or special treatment of Gislane Maxwell after she's meeting with Todd Blanche and then she gets this unusual prison transfer?
Are you guys going to investigate that?
Are you concerned about that?
Well, we're always interested in what's going on.
We weren't aware that he was going to meet with her or that she was going to be transferred.
And remember, August the 11th was the date I was supposed to take the committee down to depose Maxwell, which was Monday.
But what happened is last week, her attorneys sent a letter to me saying that she wanted to wait until the Supreme Court ruled on her appeal, which is supposed to be in September.
And if we went in there before September, before the Supreme Court ruled on her appeal, she was just going to plead the fifth.
So, you know, that's a reasonable request.
We're going to hope that the Supreme Court rules on her appeal, and then our committee's going down there and deposing her.
I mean, we've got, you know, I've got Marjorie Taylor Green and Anna Paulina Luna and Byron Donald.
Everybody's interested in this, and everybody wants to participate in it.
Let me change the subject on a couple of things.
Yesterday, I saw this amazing video of the House being called to order and called into session.
They call it into session.
They have prayer.
They do the Pledge of Allegiance and then they dismiss.
And this is all being done so they don't have to, or that it won't allow the president to do appointments when Congress is not in session because they're saying, no, we're still in session every day, but you're not really in session.
Why are the Republicans doing this?
Why not just vote on the people?
I don't know.
The confirmations are in the Senate, and I don't know.
I read that too, and I wasn't aware of that.
But I think in the past, they've always done that in August when we were out traveling our district.
So I really don't know.
That's a good question.
If Republicans are doing anything to slow down Trump's confirmation, then shame on the Republicans.
And we need you Republicans because we've got to get these guys confirmed.
It's already too late.
Do you think home rule has a chance of being pulled back in 30 days for D.C.?
I do.
I do.
Look, I mean, people are scared in Washington, D.C.
It's a bad place.
And if you look out the window, it doesn't matter what part of town.
You've got all these teenage boys running around breaking stuff at 2 a.m., 3 a.m., and there's nothing being done about it.
And the way the D.C. laws are, they're not going to prosecute young people for anything.
These young people know it, so there are no consequences to their actions.
You've got a lawless town right now.
Yeah, well, I hope that that actually happens and they pull this back because this is a failed experiment.
It is.
You've hinted at the possible run of being the governor of Kentucky in 27.
Care to comment on where you are on that decision?
Yeah, it's two years away.
We've had, unfortunately, for the last 55 years in Kentucky, as Republican as Kentucky has been, we've had a Democrat governor 47 out of the last 55 years.
This governor now, Andy Bashir, he's term limited.
can't run again.
I'm getting a lot of encouragement to run.
I was commissioner of agriculture before I came to Congress.
That's a statewide elected office.
And it's something that I'm seriously considering.
I obviously believe in term limits, so I never planned on staying in Congress very long.
I moved up quick.
I was the top Republican on the oversight committee after three and a half years.
So I think I've proven myself and I love Kentucky.
So it's something I want to do, but we're still about a year away from making a decision.
Okay.
Sounds great.
Congressman, thank you so much.
Really appreciate it.
Thanks for all your hard work.
Appreciate it.
James Comer, which, you know, I should have asked him, has he ever considered changing his name?
Because it's so close to James Comey.
And I mean, are you committed to Comer?
Are you?
I mean, that would have been a very, you know, very good question.
Yeah, very pressing question because you're like, James Comer, isn't he the bad guy?
Oh, no, that's Comey.
James Comey.
I just want to point that out.
I'm sure he struggles with this decision on a day-to-day basis.
Right.
Right.
I mean, your wife kind of struggled with that for a while, right?
James Comey vs. James Comer00:16:46
My wife's.
Lisa Page is her name.
And Lisa Page, Lisa Page.
Oh, wasn't she the one with, oh, gosh, what was his name?
I just had it.
Gosh, everyone's yelling at the radios right now.
I can't think of the other guy's name.
But the two that had...
Peter Strzok.
Peter Strzz.
Peter Strzz.
Yes, thank you.
Part of the Russia Gate scandal, right?
There's so many quote-unquote.
Scandal scandals.
No, they were big.
They were instrumental in that.
Yeah.
And as we're seeing, more instrumental than we thought.
Yeah.
The names keep coming up.
Yeah.
That's Lisa Page.
Different spelling, but yes.
Yeah.
Is it, though?
Really?
Yes.
You know, Comer and Comey are different spelling.
There's a different spelling there.
Okay.
Oh, so it's particularly disturbing because she was having an affair.
So like there was like story after story.
It was like, Lisa Page in a fair.
And I'm like, wait a minute.
That's a little, can we not?
I mean, you know.
Truth has to be spoken.
All right.
Let me tell you about Prager U. You've heard me talk about it before.
The culture is a war that just isn't being fought in Washington.
It is being fought in every single classroom, every screen, every bookshelf, every day.
And if you think the other side is playing fair, you're not paying attention.
They're not just rewriting history, they're rewriting reality.
This is why I love Prager U. Prager U is going to be up at my ranch this weekend.
I'm doing some things with Prager U that you'll be seeing soon on PragerU.
I just can't partner with these people deeply enough.
Dennis Prager has probably done more to save our country than anybody else, I think, in broadcast.
This Prager U is just, it's remarkable what he's done.
You know, they make these five-minute videos, cut through the noise.
Now they're doing courses that will tell your kids what really happened, why it matters, stories that don't just inform but inspire.
And it's free.
Anyone can learn.
Anyone can arm themselves with facts.
Anyone can push back.
So if you want to make an impact on the next generation, this month is the best time to support Prager U. Every single dollar you give is going to be matched one for one in August.
My foundation, Mercury One, we have already donated.
So join me, please.
This is a great nonprofit, PragerU.com slash Glenn.
If you have kids, you know the impact that PragerU has.
Your gift is going to be matched dollar for dollar until the end of August.

Glenn Beck We'll be right back in today's world.
Your home is more than just the place you live.
It's your largest asset.
And that means it is your largest target as well.
Criminals don't need to break in through the front door to steal it.
They just need a computer and forged signature and a few minutes of your time, maybe looking the other direction, because if they can file this fake paperwork and then that you know can transfer the title of your home into their name instead of yours, this can happen and really change your life.
It happens all digitally.
You might not even find out until the damage is all done.
You can wake up to discover that your equity has been drained and your credit has been destroyed and your legal rights to your home are suddenly in question.
Banks and mortgage companies and even law enforcement they got a lot of other stuff they're worrying about right now.
They're not necessarily looking at this because this is not a break-in that you know.
They're set up really to detect.
That's why I protect my home with home title lock.
Their system works 24-7, monitoring the deed to your home.
If anything suspicious happens, you're alerted immediately.
That early warning gives you the chance to shut down a title theft before it becomes a financial disaster.
And the truth is the fraud is just one of the fastest growing crimes in America.
It's something you got to really deal with and you don't want to wait until you're a victim to deal with it.
AI is another factor here.
It's changing the world obviously, but don't let it change the name on your home's title.

NPR focusing on, oh really, the truth of the matter.
Oh, they're telling the truth.
Oh my gosh oh wow okay, tell me what NPR is saying.
Well NPR, which is headquartered in downtown Dc, oh yeah, surely none of their employees have been assaulted on the way to the office?
Violent crime is at a 30-year low, according to Justice Department data.
But Trump says he wants city residents dealt with harshly.
What, yeah?
How about that?
Wait, I noticed you didn't talk about that today.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
He wants city residents to be dealt with harshly.
Well, if they are residents of the city and they're criminals yeah, just like Al Capone was a resident of Chicago I I, I think we should have dealt with him harshly.
I see what you're doing.
I didn't think you'd go this way.
I didn't think you'd go so low really to try this, but I see what you're doing now and NPR, they're all over you.
They knew you were coming.
Okay, Trump's primary targets are those he describes, as you just use the same word, criminals In this case, often teenagers, many of them black.
Yeah.
They're not denying that they're criminals, but they're teenagers and are black.
Yeah.
He describes them as criminals.
But in this case, NPR describes them as black teenagers.
Black teenagers.
They don't deny that they trusted crime.
Right.
They're city residences.
Yeah, we're a city residen.
I mean, they live there.
You're going to just deal with them harshly?
Yes.
Yeah.
Do you know, did I tell you what the carjacking thing?
Did I tell this earlier?
So do you know what the solution was for Washington, D.C. when people's cars were being carjacked and stolen at night?
They decided we're going to send every citizen of Washington, D.C., a little tracking device that you can put in your car so you can at least know where it is if somebody steals it.
Thank you.
That was your plan?
Oh, my God.
That's your plan.
This is Glenn Beck.
We were just talking about something we're going to talk about here in a few minutes.
Anyway, let me tell you about Jace Medical.
I don't care which side of the political aisle you're on.
When the medication supply gets disrupted, it's every family the same way.
A factory fire overseas, a shipping delay, trade dispute.
And suddenly the prescriptions we take for granted, all of a sudden they're not there.
I learned long time ago, if you don't wait for the shortage to show up before you start thinking about how to get through it because you're panicked and you won't make it through it.
You prepare when the shelves are still full.
And that's why I recommend you get a Jace case.
They are 10 life-saving essentials, five prescription antibiotics, five crucial symptom relief meds, all prescribed by a licensed doctor and ready to use whenever they're needed.
And it doesn't stop there.
They also offer add-ons like ivermectin and other critical medications so you can build a true emergency pharmacy at home.
This is not about beating the rush and saving money or whatever.
It's just making sure that your family has what they need if you need it.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
A lot to talk about this hour.
We have a new story that came out last night or yesterday afternoon about the FBI releasing information on a whistleblower, a Democrat whistleblower that had been trying to blow the whistle and the FBI and the DOJ just kept blowing him off.
And it shows deep corruption.
John Solomon was on this story yesterday in Just the News, and he says this is the tip of the iceberg.
He said the dam is about to break on all of these stories.
We'll take you through that here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about Good Ranchers.
Lot to talk about these days about supply chains and food security, but let's put it in plain English.
When you don't control where your food comes from, you do not control your life, your country, or your future.
And right now, over 4 billion pounds of meat come into this country every single year from overseas.
Now, it might pass through a processing plant here.
They might put it on the styrofoam and wrap it with a saran wrap, but then they give it the product of the USA label, which you just assume it means it's beef from here, but it's not.
It was a lie.
That should be illegal.
It wasn't raised here.
It wasn't cut here.
Good ranchers are the opposite of that.
And here's why it's really important.
Not only do they sell beef, chicken, pork, seafood, 100% born, raised, and harvested right here in America.
And it's a great American taste, but it also supports the ranchers and the farmers who actually live in the communities we drive through or fly over every single day that feed us.
We must protect our food supply.
Good Ranchers is a big part of that.

Welcome to the table.
Hello, Stu.
Nice to have you back.
It's nice to be at the table, Blunt.
It is.
I wish there was meat here.
You don't, but that would leave me more.
Let's see.
So John Solomon broke some news yesterday on justthenews.com, which if you don't check that every day, you should.
He is a real, God's honest journalist and investigative journalist.
He's worked for the Washington Post until he wasn't welcome there.
He worked for the, I think he worked for the New York Times, but definitely the Wall Street Journal until he wasn't welcome there.
And he was like, you know what?
I'm just going to have, I'm going to speak my mind.
I let the chips fall where they may.
And so he started his own thing, and it's really, really good.
But he has been breaking a lot of the stories that are coming about RussiaGate.
Listen to this story.
A career intelligence officer who worked for the Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade repeatedly warned the FBI beginning in 2017 that then Representative Adam Schiff had approved leaking classified information to smear Donald Trump.
The FBI 302 interview, reports obtained by Just the News state the intelligence staffer, a Democrat by party affiliation, who described himself as a friend to both Schiff and now California senator and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes considered the classified leaking to be unethical,
illegal, and treasonous, but was told not to worry about it because Schiff believed he would be spared prosecution under the Constitution's speech and debate clause.
So do you know what that clause is?
It's really an amazing clause.
You know what it is?
This is the one where they can, you know, where Harry Reid could go on and say, hey, Mitt Romney lied about not paying his taxes.
Yeah, he never paid his taxes.
He can't say that without Mitt Romney being able to sue him.
Right.
If it's not true, you can sue him.
Unless you say it on the floor of the House or the Senate.
Because then it's free speech that they have that you don't even have.
Yeah.
They're extra free.
Yeah, they're extra free.
They can say whatever they want and they can't get sued by it.
So he is, he's leaking this information, but he's leaking it on the floor of the House.
And that way he can say, I'm covered by the Constitution.
Now, he is such a dirt piece.
It's dirt.
He's just a dirtbag.
Okay, so this whistleblower, again, a Democrat by registration, he has been blowing the whistle on Adam Schiff and no one would listen to him.
DOJ officials, according to Just the News, showed little interest in pursuing Schiff when the allegations were brought to them years ago, citing the very same excuse the lawmaker had offered.
Isn't that interesting?
So he says, I'm covered by this.
And the DOJ says, no, no, no, he's covered by this.
In his most recent interview with the Bureau in 2023, the whistleblower, whose name is redacted, told agents from the FBI's St. Louis office that he personally attended a meeting at which Schiff authorized leaking classified information.
Quote, when working in this capacity, redacted staffer's name was called to an all-staff meeting by Schiff.
In this meeting, Schiff stated the group would leak classified information, which was derogatory to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
Schiff stated the information would be used to indict President Trump.
The whistleblower total investigations that he stated this would be illegal.
And upon hearing his concerns, unnamed members of the meeting reassured him they would not be caught leaking classified information.
The staffer made similar claims to agents in the FBI's Washington field office as early as 2017, shortly after Trump took office in his first term.
Officials also said some of the DOJ officials who declined to prosecute a rash of classified leaks during the Russia Gate affair remain employed and in positions of power, a matter that may be of interest to lawmakers in Congress.
This thing is so deep and so nasty.
I mean, if we don't get the people like Adam Schiff, this will happen.
If they get away with it, you may, as a Democrat, you may be fine.
Donald Trump.
You cannot allow them to get away with leaking classified information to destroy another person.
Okay.
They knew these were lies, but they needed it to get out and it was classified.
No one was supposed to know that.
So here, a congressman and now a senator, a U.S. senator said, don't worry about it.
You're not going to get caught.
Nobody's going to pay for this.
If they do that and they set this precedent and they do get away with it, what is the regulating rule of law when they want to do it to somebody else?
Critical Thinking vs. Martial Law00:04:05
And maybe it's somebody you like.
What is the regulating rule of law when the Republicans go, oh, well, you're going to play that way?
Well, we can do that too.
This is where critical thinking comes in.
This is what Americans are missing right now.
And it's not that we're not capable of it.
It's that we're all living in our lizard brains.
We're all so freaked out by Nazi!
Nazi!
It's a Nazi!
We're so freaked out by the names that we've all called each other.
We no longer can stop and think.
The left is now moving towards no rule of law.
I mean, Betto is now saying to the uber-uber left, rules don't matter at all.
It doesn't matter.
We'll do whatever it takes to stop them and win next time.
Well, to me, that doesn't sound like they're going to do anything new, except that's their message to people.
That's not good.
Unethical, illegal, and treasonous from somebody who describes Adam Schiff as a friend.
And nobody seemed to care.
The stakes just keep getting higher and higher and higher on this particular story.
And I'm wondering, I mean, one thing that is not trending.
Let me see if I can find the trends here.
Okay, on Google Trends, right now what's trending on Google Trends is martial law.
Martial law in Washington, D.C.
Well, that's not what's happening in Washington, D.C. That's not martial law.
It is the president's right because the District of Columbia is supposed to be a federal district and it's out of control.
What was the stats on a thousand times?
What was it?
I have that here for you.
Give me one second.
I'll pull it up.
Some crazy amount, more dangerous than Philadelphia.
I don't go walk the streets of Philadelphia at night.
I don't send my kids.
Hey, go get a gallon of milk down the street.
What are the stats?
Do you have it?
I do.
It's just loading as we speak.
Okay.
This is from, and it's from the, this is from the Atlantic.
D.C.'s homicide rate in 2024, roughly 26.4 homicides for every 100,000 residents, is lower than both at 2023 and its peak in the 90s.
But according to data compiled by the Council of Criminal Justice, it's still nearly seven times higher than New York City's rate, which is 3.8 per 100,000.
D.C.'s rate is also worse than that of Philadelphia, Atlanta, and even Chicago.
In fact, it's closer to that of infamously crime-ridden cities like Memphis and Detroit than it is to some other important city areas.
The problem looks even worse in the most violence-plagued parts of the city.
As I found in my report 2023, 57% of the city's homicides took place in wards seven and eight, the city's poorest, and the largest percentage of black residents.
In fact, just 10 blocks of D.C. were home to 14% of all homicides.
Can you imagine what that area must be?
14% of an entire city's homicide.
Yeah, everybody knows somebody that has been killed.
And that area has to be.
It has to be.
As in many cities, violence is also hyper-concentrated among tight social networks.
According to a 2021 report, National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform, any given city, about 500 people are responsible for 60 to 70% of all gun violence in the city.
Violence Concentrated in Tight Networks00:05:40
And this is from an article that's saying, this is from, you know, I mean, it's the Atlantic.
It's more of a left-leaning situation saying, hey, guys, like, sure, we can all say it's down, but are we communicating the real problem here?
Because, I mean, look, from a political perspective, Trump is going to win here.
Forget that, for example, all the sideline stuff that everyone's talking about.
When you just boil it down to politics, which is what a lot of these people are thinking about, if you are stuck on the side of the debate that says, actually, D.C. is Disneyland, you're going to lose.
And you're going to lose in a city that has voted for you time and time and time again because somebody's making the killing stop.
I mean, you know, what did they say about Mussolini?
Why was Mussolini?
I remember, was it your uncle?
Let's be very careful.
My wife's uncle.
Okay.
Okay, or great uncle, I think.
He was born here in America, but the family, they lived in Italy.
And when Mussolini took over and the war started, they were afraid the entire family would be wiped out.
So he was an American citizen because he was born during a vacation in New York City.
So they sent him all by himself to America.
He didn't have a job or anything.
So he just joined the military and he started fighting on our side.
And we're talking and nobody in the family had nobody knew his war record.
No one.
No one.
And we're sitting at a wedding and it's just the two of us.
And I'm like, so Uncle Leo, how'd you get here?
Tell me your story.
And he was like, let me tell you my story.
And he starts in telling a story.
And I said, so you do you remember Mussolini at the time?
Mussolini was a good man.
And I'm like, okay, can you keep your voice down on that one?
I mean, he's not my uncle.
He is not my uncle.
My wife's uncle is my wife's uncle, which I'm questioning now my wife and my relationship there said that.
Anyway, and I said, okay, keep your voice down.
What do you mean by that?
And he said, at first, before he joined with the Nazis, he said our country was so out of control.
And he made, quote, you've heard this before, he made the trains run on time.
What he was saying was he brought order to a very disordered society.
It was not functioning.
Okay.
And what Mussolini did at first was, I'm just going to bring some law and order here.
This is why the progressive left had an argument with some at the very beginning saying this is the new wave of the future.
It will make your country better, fascism.
This was their argument at the beginning.
Mussolini and Hitler.
Do you know why, you know, the swastika, if you flip it around, it's actually an American native and a Indian symbol of peace.
Did you know that?
Yes, I did.
I did know that.
So if you, but if you flip it around, then it becomes the Nazi swastika.
But that's not all.
When you look at a Native American, you will always know that it's Native American or Indian because the bottom of the, I don't know what you call it, the swastika is flat.
Okay.
Okay.
What Hitler did is he pitched it up 45 degrees.
Okay.
So he moved that symbol that was just like a square and he put it instead on the, on a, like a corner of the square.
So it's now pitched up.
Does that make sense?
You know what I'm saying?
Do you know why he did that?
No.
Because this is a system of progress.
We are progressives.
We are moving and racing towards the future.
So any of this crap that this was, you know, conservative.
No, no, no, no, it wasn't.
No, it wasn't.
This is all progressive socialist nonsense and dangerous.
But back to the story of what Trump is doing.
Trump is using the Constitution and he is doing it within the rule of law.
He has 30 days and then Congress has to either revoke home rule or it goes back or they can extend it for another 30 days, but Congress has to do it.
So he's not becoming a fascist or a dictator or anything else.
This is not martial law.
This is all within the law.
But if he makes that change in those two districts where everybody knows somebody who has been murdered and most likely kids that have been murdered and that goes down and they feel safe on their streets and their kids are not, they're not saying to the kids, just don't fall in with that gang.
That will change.
People will, they may still vote the same way because they don't get it maybe, but they will not be on board with dismissing.
I can guarantee you, they're not on board with dismissing this as, oh no, Washington, D.C. is a safe city.
Everything the media is doing right now, everything the Democrats are doing by trying to excuse this and try to make everybody, the people who are living it, know it's a lie first.
When AI Becomes Reality00:15:15
And they've got to be looking at those people going, wait a minute, wait a minute.
I thought you were on our side.
I thought you were trying to protect us.
You're not.
All right, back in just a minute.
Sometimes the truth is not fun, but it's still the truth.
Moving isn't just about boxes and trucks and it's about closing and it's closing one chapter, opening another chapter.
It's standing in an empty living room with the echoes of your kids and the sound of the kids and the laughter and all of the memories that you had.
And then it's turning the key in for the very last time.
It's sad.
It's exciting.
It's terrifying.
And it's all happening at once.
I have moved a lot in my life across states, across the country.
And I don't think I've ever been as emotional about a move as I am about this one.
We're moving from our home and moving to Florida.
We're still doing business in Texas, but I'll be living in Florida for a lot of the time.
And boy, I got to tell you, if you don't have a great real estate agent that knows, I mean, my real estate agent has been with me when I've got a little teary-eyed.
And he was like, it's okay, man.
It's okay.
This happens all the time.
It's not you.
You're remembering the kids.
And I'm like, yes, I am.
Anyway, you want somebody that is really, really good to be your real estate agent.

10 seconds, back to the show.
So I got a weird email from my sister.
Do we have the COT3, Glenn at the Magic Show, 1977?
So this is a picture that I took of me in 1977.
And I was trying to get on to the tonight show.
I don't know why, because Johnny Carson started it as a magician.
And I was like, I don't know, four.
And so I was doing magic and I sent this in, you know, to the Carson Tonight Show and then just waited for, you know, we're going to book you next weekend.
Never happened, never happened.
But I got the weirdest letter from my sister who remembers this time.
And she's like, I don't remember you turning the dove into a puppy.
And I'm like, I didn't.
I would have gotten on the tonight show if I turned a dove into a puppy.
This is a picture that has gone from picture to AI.
Yeah.
And it is so weird.
I thought people would know that it was AI.
Uh-uh.
Even your own sister?
Even my own sister didn't know what was real and what wasn't.
Yeah.
More on this in a second.
This is Glenn Beck.
There's a strange kind of comfort in telling yourself things like that could never happen here.
You hear about blackouts and food shortages and supply chains snapping halfway across the world or in Maryland.
That's what's happening in Maryland right now.
It's somebody else's problem until it isn't.
And the truth is disruption doesn't need to be global to turn your life upside down.
Sometimes it's just a bad storm that takes power out for a few days.
Sometimes it's a trucker strike or a railway shutdown.

So I posted on X, I think, or maybe it was Instagram over the weekend.
Somebody sent some pictures of me from my childhood.
And one of them was me from 1977, the magic show.
And they brought it to life with AI.
And it's stunning.
It's stunning.
And I posted it, and I said, this is a very old picture of me.
You know, and I told the Johnny Carson thing, et cetera, et cetera.
But I just thought people would know.
I mean, because you can see the folds and the creases in the picture.
I just thought people would know that that was AI.
No, they didn't.
They didn't.
Yeah, it was interesting because your wording, too, on the post said this picture I sent in to Jeffrey's Hartson or something like that, right?
So I would have sent the film back.
It would have been film back then.
I said, yeah, I sent this film in.
Right, this movie.
Yeah, this movie, yeah.
Right.
And this, you said picture.
And when I saw it, I was like, wow.
I mean, like that.
But I had seen, I've seen other AI versions of this where they take a photo and it moves around.
But it is getting incredible.
I mean, that absolutely looks real.
Looks real.
Here I am.
If you're watching on the Blaze TV, let me show you.
This is a picture of me on my first birthday and my birthday cake.
Now, this photo has been, you know, hung on a wall of our house forever, but I've never seen a video of me.
That is weird.
It's weird.
And so I was looking at this and I was thinking, I don't remember the sound of my mother's voice anymore.
I was, you know, 13 or 14 when she died.
And I remember when I couldn't remember her voice.
I remember when I'm like, oh my gosh, I don't remember what she sounded like anymore.
And it took me about 10 years and it was really horrible.
That's a really tough thing.
And I thought, my gosh, if I had an old tape of her, which I don't think I do, if I had an old tape of her, I could match that to a picture of her and make her talk.
And it would be weird.
Weird.
Because it's not her.
It's not her.
It's soulless.
Okay.
Here's another one.
1976.
This is, I was in the Rose Bowl parade marching for the bicentennial.
I mean, there's no video of that unless you go to CBS, I think, who covered that parade and looked it up.
But that's me.
I'm 12.
Here's me in 1984.
I was doing something with the AMC movie channel.
And it's crazy.
It looks like film.
And so there's these reactions that came out.
Elon Musk said, for most people, the best use of Grok app is turning old photos into videos, seeing old friends and family members come to life.
And then somebody said, these are not coming to life.
The animation of pictures have no bearing on reality.
It's the interpretation of a soulless AI that has no idea what your family member was actually like.
Absolutely true.
What?
You don't want a bunch of Twitter posts and algorithms to pretend to be your grandma, spit in the face of God, but it's so cool in hip.
I don't think it spit in the face of God.
I don't think it's spitting in the face of God.
I think it is if you go, that's my mother.
And remember, this, we are now entering the time of from 1990.
When did we first meet?
97?
Yeah.
Right around the time.
Right around the time that Ray Kurzweil came out with his book that I had been reading.
And it was The Age of Spiritual Machines.
And I said, they are going to claim consciousness.
They're going to claim that they're human.
They are, you're not going to be able to tell the difference.
They are going to bring our dead relatives, quote, back to life.
All of these things.
We're there.
We're there.
Yeah.
I mean, we just saw an interview with Jim Acosta and a shooting victim.
That was so bad.
Which was absolutely horrid.
But that was, I mean, and that seems like, I don't know, we're learning all these lines as we go, right?
This is something that we're all viewing in real time and figuring out what is the appropriate line.
Like to me, quite clearly, you doing the magic trick and the kid coming back to life from the shooting to be interviewed by a journalist, totally different.
And I can see the bright line in between them.
Yeah, I can too.
You know, you're just like, it's a cool little thing.
Like, oh, cool.
I'd love to see a picture of my mother moving.
I'd love to see that.
But it's not my mom.
And I'm very, very clear about that.
Like, that's closer to the line to me.
It's a little bit more.
Because it's not ethical about it.
Like, Jim Acosta is way over the line because he's supposedly a journalist doing something obviously unethical.
Using ethical and you see his picture.
Right.
Like he is a gruff spits out a picture of him.
It's, and I'm being careful here with what with the way I'm phrasing this, but it's slightly less horrible to me for the parents of this child to want to darkly see their child moving around as they would be.
That's why seances did so well.
Right.
Well, pet cemetery.
Yeah.
I was thinking of pet cemetery.
Okay.
All right.
You can understand Herman Munster.
No, he was the guy that lived next door, right?
Remember.
All I remember is, uh uh, you can understand the thought of, like god, my child died in this terrible thing yeah, and I, just what would he have been like today?
Like I can understand as a parent, wanting that it's not a great idea of Frankenstein.
You know why, Shelly well, you know why uh, Shelly wrote that.
No, what was her name?
Uh, Shelly lawyer, Mary Mary Shelley.
Uh, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein.
It's a long story.
It involved uh, you know, a contest between you know, these writers um, but she had been seeing electricity where they had been shooting electricity into dead frogs and it would make their legs move right, okay.
And so she looked at that and she was like, and I think she had just had a child die or somebody, but she, she was going through the mental anguish of death, okay.
And then she saw this and she thought ooh, what would it be like if we could bring the dead back, and that that's kind of the the, the germ, as I understand it, of Frankenstein.
Well, that's what we're going through right now okay, except the physical body is not there right, I mean, and that's probably not that far away.
Somebody will do, you could do it something like absolutely, I mean soon the, the robotics you can just you could make it look like somebody.
I mean, we're five to ten years away from somebody, from a robot looking exactly like me, speaking like me, but not being me.
Yeah, you know not, not the and not the Walt Disney.
Let me kind of walk across this floor and sit down, you know, not the, an evening with the presidents, but an actual AI robot.
And again, some of this.
I think part of why the Jim Acosta thing was so poorly received by not even just the right but everybody, taking a child shooting victim, bringing him back to life as a, an adult and then having him terribly talk about gun control in an interview, and part of it's the journalistic thing, part of it is just how tasteless it seems.
Yeah, I mean I would have a problem.
I mean I think we're pretty.
You know, it didn't really happen in my lifetime.
Uh, you know, John F Kennedy.
It would be like bringing John F Kennedy back to talk about gun control, or Abraham Lincoln and have him talk about gun control.
That would just be so grotesquely grotesque, but also way better than that like seriously, like I bring him back Jfk, like you'd be, like oh, you'd roll your eyes, but like bringing back a child to utilize a dead child for your political purposes.
I mean, it's so that's.
That's terrible when they do it without the AI, let alone when they actually do it this way.
But I think the reason why it was so poorly received is because he went so far past the line so early, like when, when the, the.
The pictures that you posted are the norm and And everyone's used to seeing them.
I thought people were.
It was all.
You're very much.
You're too into this world.
You're ahead of the parade on AI, certainly.
So, because I, you know, I'm just starting to see these things happen.
And I'm just starting to see these things look legitimate like the ones you posted.
You should see the stuff I haven't posted.
If you think this is incredible, you should see the stuff that's coming.
Yes.
But he tried to jump so far.
So far.
And it was poorly received.
But as this becomes the norm, that line will start to move.
Right.
And these things will get more and more common.
And it's the same thing, I think, with Dave Rubin.
Oh, yeah.
You know, that didn't work out well for Dave.
Oh, really?
No, people were like, because I, you know, and Dave was just doing it.
This is, I'm going on vacation.
Why don't I just have a robot?
It'll be fun.
It'll be fun.
He's not trying to con anybody or anything.
No, but it is so far away from being ready for prime time.
It's so clearly.
He could talk to him, but it's so clear.
Why, Dave, that's a very good question.
You know, and you're like, oh, I see that.
Yeah.
It's still, the technology is not perfect yet, but you could see it's, we've advanced so far so fast that you can see it's right around the corner.
Minecraft Glue Paint Innovation00:02:11
Like, you know, the examples we've been talking about and using AI, where, you know, one of the things I use it for in real life is like you go and you go to a shelf at a Walmart and they have, you know, 47 types of glue, right?
I don't know what kind of glue I need for whatever project I'm working on.
Wow.
Right.
You're a man.
I 100% admit this, right?
Like, I don't know.
That's not my world.
I would have said, honey, I don't know what glue.
Where's the Home Depot?
What?
You're twice the man I am.
Thank you.
You take a picture of the entire thing and you type into the AI, say, hey, I'm doing this thing.
I'm wood to plexiglass, right?
Like, what's the best glue for that?
And it tells you it's this glue.
It's in the fourth row in the blue box.
Like, it tells you exactly which one.
Like, you have to do that.
That's unbelievable.
Absolutely unbelievable.
To me, that seems like that is a 10-year innovation of AI.
Not like, I feel like six weeks ago, it didn't exist.
No, it didn't.
And now all of a sudden it's here and it works really, really well.
And now there's this where you're bringing photos to life.
That wasn't here a year ago.
We weren't doing that.
Maybe it was the very beginning of it.
The very beginning of it.
But like now it's super common.
It's on every one of these services is doing something like it.
You can generate videos.
The newest one from Gemini is not only can you create a video from a picture, you can now walk through it like it's a video game and control which way you're going, where you're looking.
You can do things to the environment, like paint a wall and then walk away, come back and the wall still paint you.
You're in the forest, you cut a tree down or you tie a ribbon around a tree so you can remember where you went.
It will remember where those are.
So when you go out, you maybe leave the game or whatever, you can come back and those ribbons are still there.
It's like creating, you know, if you go back in the day, like to Doom or one of those video games where you could walk around that first-person shooter thing, you're creating that in seconds from one of your own photos.
Minecraft.
Minecraft.
Imagine Minecraft.
I mean, that was the beginning of this.
It was Minecraft.
Minecraft Persistence and AI00:02:14
Yeah.
Now it's like, it's real.
And you could just do it and it's like available in and you do it in seconds.
And like that seems like a 20-year innovation to me.
And it happened in weeks, it felt like.
And these things keep happening.
All right.
Back in just a second.
They're going to happen faster and faster too.
Patriot Mobile, when was the last time you looked at your phone bill and really thought about where is all that money going to?
Because it doesn't just vanish into air.

You ever seen a liberal's hands smoother than a snake on oil?
Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word female than the word work.
Glenn Beck will be right back.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Tomorrow, we're going to talk a little bit about how the elderly now are finding comfort and friendship on AI.
The Ethics of AI Relationships00:04:41
And what does that mean?
This is apparently a big thing now.
They ended GPT-5, and apparently people who had quote-unquote friendships with GPT-4 were complaining to OpenAI and saying, hey, this is a problem.
And you don't actually have a relationship with this.
You're getting so close to.
It is a person you don't have a right to turn them off.
So close.
I was talking to a friend who said that he's seeing ads on Facebook that are talking about AI girlfriends.
You can generate AI girlfriends.
And he said that they're saying, like, you can, I can look like whoever you want, an ex or a co-worker.
Just upload a photo.
What?
And think about what that might actually do to a dynamic at work.
If you've uploaded a photo and had this wonderful relationship with your coworker, and then you go in and in your brain, you're expecting them to be receptive to your advances, right?
Because that's what they've been doing while you've been at home.
And even if it's subconscious, has that changed your relationship?
Has it changed your workplace dynamic?
There's all sorts of psychotic stuff going on.
Oh, my gosh.
I mean, I don't, is there a law that that violates?
I don't think there is.
I mean, other than the, I like to call it the 1955 icky law.
Very creepy that's icky.
I mean, and but there should be a law against that.
You're using my image and you're, I'm now your friend and maybe sexual desire.
Oh my God.
Gosh, I'm just thinking about it now.
How many people around this office are doing that to me right now with my photos?
None, I can guarantee.
It's exactly zero.
No, you were covered under the vomitus law of 1948.
You know, I don't know.
I've been noticing people acting a little weird around here.
A little weird.
I think I may have generated me, Glenn.
I'm very concerned about it.
Nope.
Don't think that's a problem for either.
No concern at all.
No concern at all.
All right.
We've got an incredible hour planned for you next.
So stay with us.
You answered that really quickly.
Like you almost knew immediately.
This is Glenn Beck.
You believe in the importance of things made here in America.
I know you do.
But if that matters for the shoes on your feet or the car in your garage, shouldn't it matter more on the food that you put on your kitchen table?
What you feed your family should be held to the highest standard.
And that's why I would love to recommend that you try Good Ranchers.
Every cut they sell beef, chicken, pork, seafood, 100%.
Born, raised, and harvested right here in America.
You're not just getting incredible high-quality meat, you're also supporting the American ranchers and farmers who actually live in our communities in some of the communities that you fly over all the time.
But that's where the food comes from.
And we must preserve our ability to have ranches and farms that provide for us.
Plus, they will lock in your price, which means as the grocery store prices climb, your price is going to remain the same for meat.
That's a big deal.

676 Days of Hostage Horror00:03:16
676 days ago, Hamas took hostages.
676 days ago, we saw a video that Hamas released, and it looked like it was something that was coming from the Holocaust.
It looked like it was coming right out of the Nazi archives.
But it was from Hamas.
There's not a big difference between the Nazis and Hamas, in my opinion.
And it was a guy that was digging his own grave, and he was a hostage.
And I don't know if you actually stopped to look at that story.
I hope you did.
But when you saw him 676 days ago, he was healthy.
He was fit, in shape, and now he's a skeleton.
He's a walking skeleton.
And it is, it's horrific.
I've invited his brother on to talk about his brother and what his brother is going through.
And I invited him on because I saw him say, I don't know how to scream loud enough to make the world care, but I'm screaming anyway.
I thought I would let him talk to us and let the millions and millions of people that are listening right now let them be the amplification of the story.
We talked to him in 60 seconds first.

Eli David is with us now.
Eli, welcome to the program.
Hi, Glenn.
Thank you for having me.
You bet.
Eli David on Hamas and Hostages00:12:46
I'm sorry what your family is going through.
I can't imagine what it's like.
And to see the world not only not pay attention, but then seemingly, so much of the world siding with the bad guys.
So I'm sorry about that.
First of all, how is your family?
They are devastated since the video, but don't forget that we are in that very painful journey for almost two years.
So we have each other.
We have each other.
My mom, she cries all day since that video.
And my father, he can barely sleep.
But, you know, we try to take care of each other.
That's the most important thing we have is family right now.
I read someplace that you said this broke your father.
Seeing that video, it broke him.
Yeah, it does.
It did broke him.
It did broke my sister, my younger sister.
My mother and I, we just couldn't watch that video.
I mean, we only heard, we only saw some frames of it, and it was really enough for us.
What struck me about that video is I've seen pictures like that before, but they were from, you know, 70 years ago in Germany.
And the world denied there was a problem back then as well.
And the Germans tried to hide all of this.
These guys don't care.
They're not hiding it.
They're proud of this.
Yeah.
They're not like the Nazis.
They are much, much worse.
They are using my brother as a human experiment, like they use their own people.
And they do it in a very twisted way.
It's very hard to comprehend.
They are just terrorizing us in every measure.
There was an ISIS that those guys intentionally stopped the Vietnam to use him as part of their twisted propaganda.
So it's something else.
It's a new evil that we have never known.
Where do we stand on the peace process?
And are we doing enough?
It's a good question.
I mean, I really believe that the leaders of the world right now will advocate for my brother.
My brother is an example of the peak of human cruelty.
And I think that nations should understand that their declarations, the timing of the declarations is crucial.
And Hamas is very sensitive for his image.
And that's also something we need to understand.
And many leaders around the world are stating stuff that Hamas sees as an opportunity to withdraw from this peace process, from this peace process that President Trump is trying to promote.
So I really hope that something will change after people all over the world saw a VTAR in this very crucial state.
I was shocked by, well, this is France, but the idea that they would recognize a two-state solution before any of this is done.
And even the Arabs are like, there is no future with Hamas anywhere near the Palestinian territories and they need to give up the I couldn't.
I wasn't surprised, but I guess in a way I was still surprised that the West, and like France would, would give in and England would give in and say a two-state solution, and yet the ones that are supposedly that hate Israel the most are saying no, there's no solution with Hamas in it at all, there's no solution.
Is that a difference?
That is, am I splitting hairs on that or because I thought that was significant?
Um again, it's.
I really believe.
Because Hamas are very sensitive to their image, it's very important that we will keep putting all the pressure on them, all pressure, all leverages we have on Hamas, on on its partners like Islamic Jihad that also holds hostages.
We need to put the leverages on on the supporting nations like Qatar Egypt Turkey, Jordan and And, of course, on the humanitarian organizations and also the United Nations should understand that they have responsibility.
And of course, the European Union and so on.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
So I'm not sure exactly what is the right statement that states should say right now.
Talking about a Palestinian state out of the blue, that is something, again, and putting my political view aside, I believe the timing is crucial.
And discussing this without discussing the resolution of what happened right now in Gaza, it's a crucial mistake.
And right now, my brother pays and so many other hostages are paying with their lives.
And to be honest, Israel society is paying because eventually Kama is terrorizing us as a society.
And also they are terrorizing their own people.
So so many people are suffering.
I think that the leaders of the world have good intentions.
They want to do good.
They want to take care the people of Gaza and of course the Israel, I believe also Israelis.
But they need to understand that timing is crucial and they have to understand that they are not helping.
They are doing harm and they need to be very careful before they're giving any interview regarding this subject or declaring something.
There's another group that I haven't heard anybody really talking about this, which shocks me.
There was, I think his name is Kurt, Kurt Garong from World War II.
And he was a Jewish German actor.
He was very, very famous, et cetera, et cetera.
And after a long, long story, he is captured and he is asked to make a film of this concentration camp.
And it's all a lie.
It's all a lie.
And the Red Cross was supposed to come in and see all the concentration camps.
And the Germans were so good at hiding all of these things.
And they went to this particular camp and they didn't see any of it because the Germans had it all, you know, really buttoned up.
But at least the Red Cross tried to go see those prisoners.
Has the Red Cross even tried to go in and see your brother or have they made any attempt at all?
As well as we know, they did.
Right now, my mom and sister are in Geneva meeting with the president of the ICRC.
Again, hopefully, we saw a very different tone declaration from the Red Cross just a week ago about this video of Eviatar and also the video of Rom Braslavski, who also showed in their propaganda.
And I try not to blame the Red Cross, you know, I'm trying to bless you.
You're very kind.
I don't know if I would have your restraint that you've shown already.
We're just trying to be effective.
Again, right now, Eviatar's life is on stake.
He's on the verge of death.
And it's him.
It's Guy Gilba Dalal, the hostage that we know that we believe that still in there in that tunnel that we saw.
It's Rombroslavski.
It's two dozens of living hostages that are dying of starvation right now.
And it could be a matter of days.
So we are trying to be very focused on what we can do to feed them.
I mean, I'm not talking about an agreement now.
I'm talking about feeding them.
They need access.
They need the Red Cross to visit them.
Or I don't care who will visit them.
I don't care.
We know that Hamas has plenty of humanitarian aid in its storage on the next door, and they just don't give it to the hostages as part of their cruel, cruel campaign.
So we have to be very efficient right now.
How can we help you?
First, I believe that we should speak about who they are.
Who is Evatar?
He's not a poster child.
Okay, maybe, maybe now he is, but he's a human being.
My younger brother is also my sister's older brother.
He's 24 years old who went to a festival to have fun, to dance, and he was kidnapped from there while he was 22.
So I ask people to try to imagine what they will do if it was them or it was one of their relatives, their son, their brother.
Evatar is a guitar player, plays the guitar since he's 10.
And we had this tradition of playing music together every week.
It was our thing as brothers.
And I know by fact that he is manifesting his return by thinking about those moments when we played music together, when we sat down at my parents playing music and singing.
He's the kindest person I know.
He's very shy, but also full of life.
He wants to travel the world.
That one of his dreams.
He already had a ticket to Thailand with his friends.
He wanted to come back and learn music production.
He wanted to take his passion and make his profession out of it.
And he's the best son to my parents.
And I really learned from him how to be a good son.
And Eli, can you also go ahead?
We know that he comes back eventually.
That's also something that we try to manifest, his return, this image of him coming back and going back to live even a greater life than he had before.
Did you really have did you have anybody in your family lost in the Holocaust?
We have a distant, a distant uncle.
Yeah.
Sorry, an aunt, a distant aunt.
But it's, it's, you know, I think the Jewish people have suffered all over the world in the past 100 years.
And of course, it always looks much before.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And this memory of the Holocaust really resonates at every Jewish heart, at every decent human heart, I believe.
Eli, thank you so much for sharing the story of your brother.
Family Secrets and Holocaust Memories00:06:17
We're talking about the guy who was in the video that you might have seen if you had the stomach to look at it.
That looked, he was digging his own grave and it looked like it was something right out of Auschwitz.
You can find history in all of the stories of the hostages at stories.bringthemhome now.net.
That's stories.bringthemhome now.net.
Eli, thank you.
Appreciate it.
My best to your family.
Thank you.
Let me tell you about Leaf Filter.
Every family has that one unspoken rule, you know, the one that nobody wrote down, but everybody knows it.
In my family, it used to be whoever notices the gutters are clogged, you just quietly pretend you didn't.
Because we all knew what that meant.

10 seconds and back to the show.
You know, I was writing a monologue today that I don't know if I'm going to use.
I got into the middle of it and I got so introspective on it.
I don't know if I'm going to use it, but it was about doing the right thing and it was about how many people are lonely.
And I'm going to talk a little bit about this tomorrow.
But I got into it and I'm like, you know, we have to recognize the loneliness.
And then I thought, who am I to say this?
I don't go to a nursing home.
I'm not going visiting people.
I mean, Jesus said to do that.
And I started thinking, what is it about the human condition?
You know, I'm concerned that we're going to lose humanity and the definition of humanity through AI.
I'm not sure we haven't already lost it in many quarters.
I mean, you know, when we can, and maybe it's just, it's so much, you don't know what else to do.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe we're just overwhelmed.
But, you know, I asked him that question about his uncle because imagine being in a family where you saw a family member look like that and you thought, oh, never again, that's not going to happen again.
And then your brother is in the same situation.
And I wanted to have him on.
I, you know, I didn't do it, obviously, for ratings.
But I don't know what else to do.
I don't know what else to do other than just say it.
Just look at it.
You would think that we would care, but we don't all the time.
And I think that's just who we are currently.
It's not who we were born to be, and it's certainly not who we're going to end up being.
We're just in this weird transition, I think, right now where we've kind of lost our humanity and we don't know what's real or not anymore.
All right.
We have Matt Kibbe in next.
He's going to talk about the connection between RussiaGate and COVID.
What a surprise.
Same players, same kind of story.
Matt joins us in just a second.
Standby.
This is Glenn Beck.
There's a test you can give yourself right now, and you don't need a clipboard or a doctor.
Just think about the last time somebody asked you to do something fun.
Did you say, oh, yeah, absolutely, I'm in, or did you mentally check your body first?
The answer depended on whether your back, knees, or shoulders could handle it.
The pain is already writing the rules.
I get into the situation to where I'm like with my back.
You want to go do this?
I'm in.
And then my wife was like, no, you're not in.
If you're not dealing with your pain, it's going to control you.
And Relief Factor could help you change that.
It is a daily supplement developed by doctors that fights the inflammation that causes pain.
So you're not just masking it.
You're actually addressing the source.
For many people, including me, it's been the difference between a life of maybe later and a life of let's go right now.
When you start saying yes without thinking about what it's going to cost you later, that's when you know you really got your life back.

Episode 5 of the cover-up with Matt Kibbe.
If you haven't been watching the cover-up on Blaze TV, you really need to.
Government Power Turned Against Us00:13:07
This is episode five.
This, I think, correct me if I'm wrong, Matt, I think this is probably the deepest investigation into the corruption of COVID that's been done.
I definitely think so.
And it's my unhealthy obsession with the subject.
Well, we've got to.
I mean, we're like this on the RussiGate thing.
We're on it with COVID.
If people don't pay, we are encouraging them to go further next time because these are real crimes.
And this one, what is episode five?
This one has Matt Taibbi in it.
Yeah, Matt Taibbi.
It's called Muckraker, appropriately.
And it's not just about the Twitter files.
It actually follows his entire career as a cub reporter watching the collapse of the Soviet Union, realizing as the Rolling Stone political reporter, like a prestigious job on the left, that the RussiGate story was a hoax.
His instincts from day one were like, this is BS.
I don't buy it.
He gets pushed out of Rolling Stone for that.
So he's obsessed with it.
And in the process of uncovering that, this episode uncovers this super Orwellian, creepy apparatus about how they want to control not just what we think, but how we think.
And that's the danger.
They want to control the narrative.
And, you know, years ago, the CIA had a program called Operation Mockingbird, where they would buy or intimidate or blackmail certain reporters at the New York Times and other place to control the narrative.
And back then, because it was a top-down system, they could just own the guy.
And now it has become this collusion is not even the right word.
It's the same thing.
Like the reporters think they're part of the government.
They think they're on the same team, and they voluntarily have become not even useful idiots.
They're adjuncts to the government.
And that's what's scary.
We have no press within the corporate press.
It's all outside with things like Blaze TV.
And it's a good thing we're doing it because we have no adversarial reporting except for a few dinosaurs like Taibbi.
So, you know, what I have started to notice is that the deep state is much deeper than we thought it was.
It's really well put together.
I mean, it's mature.
But it's pretty much the same people at the head, is it not?
I mean, it seems like there's a group of maybe 20 of them that kind of are running the show.
They've got others beneath them, but there's a small group that is really in charge.
Do you agree with that?
My tinfoil hat has become a helmet because the conspiracy is vast.
And by the way, the operators love to call us conspiratorial because that's the classic government smear when someone actually gets to the truth.
And it is.
And the whole thesis of this project, the cover-up, was to link the COVID industrial complex to the military industrial complex.
And Dr. Ebright in the last episode exposes that it was actually Dick Cheney that tapped Anthony Fauci to run this entire operation.
That was a great episode.
And all of this censorship industrial complex also is born out of the so-called war on terror and all of the trampling of rights and speech that we did.
And, you know, eventually going after terrorists became going after Americans.
And that's what the lesson and why you have to expose all this stuff is that whenever we give government power, and I would say this about the Trump administration too, when we expand government power in any way, you should always expect it to be turned on you by another administration in the future in ways that you can't anticipate.
And that's what's happened with this.
The apparatus, the sophistication of this whole system is evolved in a way that allows these deep state, gray-suited Soviet bureaucrats, names we don't even know, to control every aspect of our lives.
Let me play a clip from this.
This is featuring Matt Taibbi.
Listen.
You're also a bit of a dinosaur, if you will, because you're an actual journalist.
There aren't that many of them anymore.
And reporters have become useful idiots.
It's worse than that.
I think they're essentially proxies for the national security apparatus.
All of media went through this shift.
It was a fake story.
The Trump campaign colluded with Russia.
It was particularly the Russian story.
A U.S. financed accident that came out of Wuhan.
Believing the science.
Operation Mockingbird on steroids.
When we looked at these censorship programs, we realized they were trying to re-engineer how people thought.
This is a terrifying episode.
It really is.
It really is.
But we end up talking about things like Taibbi's platform on Substack, like The Blaze and all of these independent journalists, Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson.
Joe Rogan individually is probably bigger, according to Taibbi, than the entire corporate press combined.
And that's the upside of the downside.
That's why they try to cancel us, right?
Because they can't buy us.
They can't intimidate us.
Taibbi talks about how the IRS shows up on his doorstep the day that he's testifying in front of Jim Jordan's committee.
That's kind of on the nose, right?
Yeah, kind of on the nose.
Yeah.
Why haven't we repealed the law that O Biden, that Obama put in that made propaganda on the American people legal again?
I mean, we repealed that right after World War II.
And Biden put it, I don't even remember covering that.
Do you remember covering that?
How they made propaganda legal again.
I don't even remember when they did it, you know, back in 2008, 2009.
And nobody really knows that.
I mean, that is the craziest thing I've ever heard.
And why haven't we repealed that?
I don't know.
I hope that Republicans use this opportunity to go after things like this.
Because if we don't root it out, and we were talking earlier about rooting out the bad guys, I still want to know who Fauci's boss is.
I have theories.
It's probably the head of the intelligence agencies that were really calling the shots on this.
But if Republicans don't go after— What does that mean?
What does that mean?
Who's that?
It was and still is.
Who's the head of the CIA now?
I remember.
I used to know this stuff.
Yeah.
Look it up, William.
Yeah.
That guy.
That guy, the head of the CIA.
You think the CIA is?
I think ultimately the head of Homeland Security, the head of the CIA, the head of the DOD, these are Fauci's bosses.
And supposedly the good guys are in charge now.
So are they going to go after it?
Are they going to rip it out root and branch to make sure that we don't do this again?
Because it can be used for whatever crisis they want to create.
I asked, I don't remember what politician it was, but I asked him one time off the air.
I said, when are we going to get a president who says this deep state stuff, all this spying on American people, it's got to stop right now.
Pull it all up.
And this guy looked at me like I was a little baby.
And he was like, oh, really?
Oh, I remember.
I was cute when I was your age, too, thinking things like that.
And he said, no president will ever do it.
He said, because when they get into the office, here's the choice they're given.
Mr. President, you don't have any information on the American people.
However, every other country on earth has all of this information on the American people.
Are you going to be the only one blind?
Are you the only one that's going to fly blind on what's happening in your own country?
And it was a compelling case.
I mean, I still would say, yeah, yeah, because Constitution says fly blind.
But I don't see anybody willing to give up this kind of power because they'll think they'll use it the right way.
Right.
And the hope, and we talk about this in the episode, the hope is that because Trump himself was targeted by this apparatus, because Tulsi Gabbard was specifically targeted by this apparatus, because RFK Jr. and Jay Babacharia, the list is long, right?
Yeah, yeah.
All of these guys were specifically targeted by the Biden administration and the Obama administration before that.
The lesson, hopefully, is that when President Trump's worst enemy takes the White House, that's going to happen someday.
I have this wild theory that someday the Democrats will win the way of doing it.
Oh, that's a crazy theory.
I know.
I have a theory.
It could be in three years.
I hope to God not, but it could be.
I mean, the backlash is going to be.
Yeah, you should think about your worst enemy having those reins of power and what they will do to President Trump's family.
You should think about that sort of stuff.
And they have an opportunity.
They have a window.
That's what they're going to do to my family.
Yeah, maybe it's just two years that we have.
So we got to do it.
How do you feel about what we're seeing in the Tulsi Gabbard and the FBI releasing all of the files on RussiaGate?
What John Solomon released yesterday about a whistleblower, Democrat whistleblower, saying Adam Schiff, he announced in a staff meeting he was going to release classified information to smear Donald Trump on this.
And when I pointed out, no, you can't do that, he said, don't worry, we're never going to go to jail.
Right.
Are we getting any closer?
Are we just spinning our wheels again?
I'm very optimistic about what Tulsi Gabbard is doing.
To my earlier point, she is now like a pit bull with a bone.
She's going to get to this.
She's going to need the Justice Department on her side.
Same with Rand Paul.
Rand Paul is now the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, and he is another dog with a bone.
He's not going to let go of this.
But we're going to need the Justice Department to start putting people in jail.
Do you see that happening?
Not now, I don't.
Not now.
I've said I was going to give him a year before I started coming down harsh on him.
Yeah.
But I haven't seen a lot.
Nope.
And that's why the public has to get involved.
I think the only way to do this, and President Trump has always operated this way, public opinion of his community, his base, his supporters, it matters.
And we need to be loud about it.
And some people pick on me because I'm still talking about COVID lockdowns and the cover-up.
But we have to understand that this is so much bigger than that catastrophic event.
It's about the worst.
That is the worst violation of rights in my lifetime.
What do you mean, this little thing, COVID?
There's nothing that compares to it.
I mean, it is probably the biggest violation of American rights since we rounded the Japanese up and put them in internment camps.
I think that's right.
It's bigger than the Patriot Act and all the liberties we lost in response to the attack on the Twin Towers.
And I want, like, so many people just want to move on, but I don't want them to move on.
You can't.
We got to come that, though, because I feel that sometimes.
Right.
I mean, we went through it.
We talked about it every single day, but I feel like sometimes, man, I don't want to bring myself back into that moment.
I don't want to deal with it.
I just want to move on.
How do you get people to actually focus on it?
Well, it's understanding that the same people and the same machine that weaponized the Russiagate story and covered up the Hunter Biden laptop story are the same people and same apparatus that forced you to get vaccinated against your will, that forced you to stay in your homes, that forced you to give up your job, that forced you to not go to church.

Stu, when is your next never-ending vacation?
A couple weeks, probably.
A couple weeks.
Stu's Next Never-Ending Vacation00:01:04
I have to map it out with you.
No, I have like, I took all my vacation in the summer this year.
So I think I have like maybe a day or two off before Christmas.
Like, so I'm here.
You're stuck with me now.
Well, you've been gone since I, I mean, I'm, I came back to Texas to see my doctor, and I'm going to, I'm going to see three different back doctors this weekend or this week and see which one of them is like, yeah, I can fix that.
And no matter what they say, I'm going with that one.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, interesting.
Because I know it's something that you're going under.
There can be some dangerous risks there.
Can you give me the names of the doctors?
I just want to have some questions.
Why are you writing checks?
Give me some input.
Yeah.
I could have right now.
Yeah.
So I may be doing it from my boudoir in a little while.
Really?
Yeah, it'll be sexy.
It'll be sexy.
It'll be sexy.
All right.
Well, welcome back.
We've really missed you.
Thank you, Glenn.
I've missed you as well.
Missed you as well.
That didn't sound sincere since I was a little bit more.
Might at least sound it.
All right.
That's why I'm in the Radio Hall of Fame, I guess.
