Glenn Beck and Stu Bregier mark the end of a 28-year partnership as Bregier departs to launch Predictable, a new prediction market venture. The broadcast covers the Donrue Doctrine, Panama voiding a China contract, and Trump's Cuba sanctions while analyzing Tim Walz's Fort Sumter comparisons. Amidst jokes about Bregier's Eagles loyalty and his nickname origin, they discuss Epstein file releases, Clinton subpoenas, and the future of talk radio against podcasts. Ultimately, the farewell highlights their enduring bond despite past professional friction and Bregier's history of failed ventures. [Automatically generated summary]
The FBI has been warning about a type of real estate fraud that is on the rise called title theft, and your equity is the target.
Now, here's how it works.
Criminals forge your signature on a single document.
They use, you know, fake notary stamps and they file it with the county.

Using your ownership, they then take out loans at a bank and get your equity.
And then, you know, like you didn't even sell your property and yet it is like you sold your property and you don't know until foreclosure or collection notices start showing up.

Hello, America.
It's January 30th, 2026.
It's our last day with Stu as part of the program after 27 years.
28 Glenn Bell.
28 years.
And we've got a lot to say about that coming up.
We're going to relive some of the best moments.
South Korea's Impact on Your Doorstep00:11:14
That'll take us about three minutes here in just a second.
Also, we're going to talk to you about the things that are going on.
New head of the Fed.
What does that mean?
Also, the Donro Doctrine is in full effect.
There's a few updates.
Looks like Panama has voided the contract with China, which means they're out of Panama.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said new sanctions on Cuba.
They're the next on the hit parade.
And the oil industry in Venezuela has now, according to the government of Venezuela, is going to be reprivatized, which is one of the best things that could happen for them.
Iran, we're watching about strikes.
And Iran, the Melania film, is out this weekend getting horrible reviews, which only makes me want to buy out a whole theater.
I mean, of course they're going to review it and panic like that.
I mean, honestly, I might buy out a whole theater.
Tim Walz also said some amazing things.
We're going to get into here in just a minute.
Tim called Alex, I mean, Trump called Alex Preddy an agitator and perhaps an insurrectionist.
We have to talk about that.
Don Lemon was arrested about 40 minutes ago in Los Angeles.
It looks like they couldn't get a judge, so they just went to a federal grand jury, swore out a complaint.
Grand jury said, yes, it's valid.
They arrested him.
This is a scary, scary time, especially when you hear what Tim Walz said about Fort Sumter.
We're going to get into all of that.
And also some really good news coming out of South Korea today.
All of this and so much more in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
You don't really realize how much energy discomfort steals until you really are just in pain all the time.
And then you get some of it back.
And it's not just about aches and pains.
It's the mental load, thinking ahead about the stairs, bracing yourself before you stand up, deciding whether something's worth it before you even try.
For a lot of people, inflammation is behind all of that.
A lifetime of hard work and then now inflammation.
It's not necessarily just one big event.
It's strain daily, over and over, adding up.
Sometimes your body needs support.
Relief Factor was created to support your body's response to inflammation using a unique combination of ingredients designed to work together.
And the goal isn't a quick cover-up.
It's helping your body function more comfortably over time.
So when people start feeling the difference, it shows up in practical ways.
Getting through a day without constantly thinking about how you feel.
Make sure that you're the next one to get out of pain.

Okay.
Well, let me start with some good news first.
Let me start in South Korea.
Do we have Pastor Soon's chance on the phone with us?
Chance?
Hi.
Are you in Korea now?
Yes, I'm Korea now, and I landed here two nights ago.
And I'm still jet lagged, but it has been a miraculous day today.
I'm so excited.
Please, for anybody who doesn't know, Chance's father, Pastor Soon, is one of the biggest pastors in South Korea.
We have been talking about this for months.
He went to jail, like really, I think, a couple of days before Charlie Kirk died, or maybe a couple of days after.
And it is South Korea is in real trouble.
And this is important because it affects you, the American people.
If we lose South Korea, we lose a lot.
And China is really infiltrating South Korea and it is changing South Korea.
And it is becoming a very hostile place, first for Christians, because they're the first to stand up.
And Chance's father stood up and was just talking about school board elections.
And the state charged him with election interference.
That is something that if you're ever charged with in Korea, you get like a fine.
They put him in jail.
He's been in jail for six months now, and they wanted to put him in jail for years.
And they're now, the head of South Korea said, we can go in in any church without a warrant.
We can take the church property and sell it ourselves and not give it back to the church.
I mean, it's really getting bad.
But Donald Trump and JD Vance paid attention.
And when they met with, I think, the prime minister, right, in Washington a couple of weeks ago, JD Vance brought your father up and tell us the result.
What's happening now?
Yeah, so the core ruling has come out today, this morning at 10 a.m.
And although my father has gotten sentenced to six months imprisonment, it was also a delay sentence suspended, which is also like a probation a year.
So he got an immediate release.
And it's my first time being able to hold my father's hand in four and a half months.
And it's been a very, a lot of church members and our family crying and crying, being so thankful, grateful, not only to God, but to Americans and also brothers and sisters in Christ around the world for raising voices and to fight our fight as well.
Because you guys are realizing this is not only about Korea, but also this is coming at your doors.
So we are so grateful for all of you.
I will tell you, I just love you and your brother's relationship with your dad.
And I think your dad is a Dietrich Bonhoeffer we are watching grow into that role in real time.
And he has raised two unbelievably great sons.
And I love your love for your father.
So you've seen him.
The last I talked to you, he could barely use his hands because of the conditions in the prison over there.
I mean, it really does not sound like a Western-style prison and the way he was treated over there.
He's lost a lot of weight, but other than that, he's healthy and in good spirits.
He's really healthy in good spirit, but physically, so he hasn't told the public or the church members, but to us, he has shown his back and also his hip.
And it's no point because of the blisters, he had to sit down on, of course, a very hard concrete floor for hours, more than 12 hours a day.
And there are blisters and it turned to a form of rice cake almost.
And his feet are not, he's not, his feet are numb because he had to sit down for a long time.
So his back is, I guess, pressuring the lower body.
And also his teeth are getting bad.
So he's about to go to go see a dentist tomorrow morning, Thursday.
He wasn't able to chew on what?
On one side of his, yeah, his teeth.
So I guess he's gotten more muscle on the other side right now, but he has got to balance it up.
He said, he was cheerfully joking about it, although he broke our hearts.
This is not something you expect from a Western nation.
I mean, this honestly sounds like, you know, the Soviet Union when I was a kid.
Yeah.
There's no betting.
So there was just one very, yeah, just one blanket, and that's it.
Tell me about, because I think that this is great, but the minute this administration stops looking away at your father, stops looking at Korea, this comes right back with a vengeance.
So one of the things that we've talked about is you need a Christian school or church to adopt your school or church in Korea and make it kind of an expanded campus, a second campus, right?
Because that will protect you guys.
Yes.
Yes, Glenn.
Thank you so much for bringing this up because my father has been praying for 17 years and Secret Church was able to establish a Christian school named Securu Unan Christian Academy in 2024.
And last year, the state rejected accreditation because the school wouldn't implement the walk ideologies into that education curriculum.
Because my father and Secretary Church believe that our future leaders are the most important, if not one of them.
And if it gets rejected again this year, which is most likely, it will be closing down.
And we believe that if Secretary Unam Tradition Academy can be operated as a U.S. school campus branch in South Korea, because the current regime, if there's one thing that they're afraid of, would be the U.S.
So they wouldn't be able to attack or be vengeance against the U.S. entity or property.
So we believe that that will be helping out tremendously for the school situation.
So if you are a Christian school and you think that there's a chance that you might want to just kind of adopt this school, it will be a great blessing to the Christians in Korea.
How do people contact you, Chance?
Either contact me on Axe.
Anyone can message me.
And either Axe or Instagram as well at ChanceSon1226.
So we just need one school.
Thank you so much, Glenn.
Thank you.
I'm so happy for you.
Thank you.
Say hi to your father for me, William.
Tell him we're praying for him.
He's actually, I told him about him one of the first things, and he's very appreciated because he was going to write your letter inside the prison.
And yeah, thank you so much, Glenn.
And all the viewers and listeners, I really appreciate it.
It has made a big impact on this case.
And Koreans are very, very appreciated for this.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
Bye, Mike.
Chance told me that his father was going to write me a letter in prison, but his hands were so broken from the four months.
I mean, what kind of prison is that over there?
I mean, that's nuts.
South Korea is going full authoritarian.
I mean, the pastor may be the first guy to ever try to escape South Korea by going across the border to North Korea.
I mean, it's not good.
It is not good.
South Korea's Authoritarian Shift00:03:52
Let me give you a couple of other things.
Quickly, Glenn, I just wanted to let you know that I was going to also write you a letter remembering our 28 years together.
Hands didn't work, though.
Hands didn't work.
Just like the South Korea situation.
I mean, it's basically the same thing.
So I apologize.
I obviously would have loved to communicate.
I got to tell you, I was going to buy you that Lotus, too.
And I've just, I could not, for some reason, my hands just could not get the credit card out of my wallet.
It's so weird.
Well, it's weird.
I did notice you did leave me a present here, which is.
Yeah, it's a box.
It's a box.
Stu's box.
Stu's box.
So I can collect my belongings and clear out immediately.
It's Friday.
Bring a box.
You know what I mean?
I just want to meet you in my office.
Just bring a box.
No big deal.
You've been telling me that for 20 years.
I want everything.
Yeah, I know.
I want everything out.
I want everything out.
I want everything.
I want every stupid little blanket you have in the studio.
I want every little, you know, hot water bottle that you've used to warm yourself all these years.
I want it all out.
All of it.
All of it.
It's like you never existed, Stu.
Like you never existed.
Gonna need a bigger box.
I gotta tell you, if Stu and I stop joking with each other, we are gonna, it's gonna be a really bad breakdown.
So please forgive us.
We love each other, but this is the way we're going to deal with this by hammering each other all day.
So Tim Walz came out and said that, is this John Brown?
Is this our Fort Sumter?
Oh, wow.
That's kind of an important thing.
Insurrection comes to mind.
I'll explain coming up in just a second.
Standby first.
Let me tell you about American financing.
Ever ever noticed how fast small expenses can get your attention?
The big ones just sit there on autopilot.
You know, you'll shop around for a better deal on car insurance.
You'll cancel a subscription to save a few bucks, but mortgage, the biggest bill you have often goes years without a second look.
Life changes, rates change, the goals change in your life.
But that loan you locked in, you know, years ago may not fit your situation right now.
And that's where American Financing can help.
They work with homeowners to see if there is a smarter way to structure their loan, maybe lowering your rate, maybe consolidating high interest debt, or maybe just adjusting the terms to match your life a little better.
And their mortgage consultants are not salaried, not commission-driven.
So the focus is on what makes sense for you, not what earns them a bonus.
You can make big monthly expense work a little harder for you in that favor.
I mean, would it be good to have it work in your favor?
Ease a little financial pressure, changing your situation every month so it's a little easier.
And there's no upfront fees to find out if you qualify.
Just call American Financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.
It's AmericanFinancing.net.
NMLS 182334.
NMLS ConsumerAccess.org.
APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
10 seconds station id uh by the way today is the last day You can watch at Glennbeck.com all of this nonsense for free.
Just see it, all the behind the scenes, everything, including a fourth hour today.
Pat and I are going to be doing a Q ⁇ A for Stu's last day, fourth hour, and it'll happen right after this podcast live at Glennbeck.com.
Also on Stu DoesAmerica is YouTube and Glenn Beck YouTube, youtube.com slash Glennbeck, youtube.com slash Stu DoesAmerica.
Which, by the way, I've got to talk to you about this later, Stu.
Pre-Civil War Rhetoric00:04:37
You got to get control of that.
I mean, you know, somebody is hacking you.
Yeah, I know.
It's bad.
You got to get a hold of that.
You're saying the YouTube description page.
Yeah, that is pretty bad.
I wonder what's going on with that.
That is weird.
Yeah, it's weird.
You'll probably track that down someday.
Let me play what Tim Walz has just said.
Now, I want you to listen.
This is really important, what he said.
Listen.
And at this point in time, I told Tom, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, but unless I see a reduction in these folks on the streets, I'm going to have to say that to my folks.
So look, I think we all want to avoid that, but I think the reality has sunk in this week.
If you thought you could pass this by and you thought there was nothing there, I mean, is this a Fort Sumter John Brown moment?
Where are we at on this?
And we're doing everything right.
And I have said it time and time again, the way you win this is true.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
We're doing everything right.
Is this a Fort Sumter John Brown moment?
What is this?
Okay, let me just for those who don't remember history, because it was boring when you were taught, Fort Sumter happened in 1861.
And that was South Carolina saying, get them.
The feds, federal government had Fort Sumter.
They used an organized force against the federal government and attacked Fort Sumter.
That was the beginning of the Civil War.
Okay.
So when he says, is this a Fort Sumter moment?
He's implicitly saying this is the opening shot of an organized resistance against federal authority.
That matters.
Once you start talking about Fort Sumter, you're not talking about protest or dissent or civil resistance.
You're talking about insurrection.
And by the way, Tim, that puts you as a Confederate.
It just doesn't put you on the good side, the winning side.
That makes you a Confederate.
Then he follows that with, is this Fort Sumter?
Is this a John Brown moment?
John Brown, now, because we're so historically illiterate, we think, oh, well, John Brown was an abolitionist.
Yeah, he was an abolitionist that even Abraham Lincoln distanced himself from.
He was an abolitionist and he was morally, his moral conviction was everything that motivated him.
But he was willing to use legal force.
I mean, lethal force.
He did not believe in the democratic or constitutional process anymore.
Even the people who were abolitionists, even the northerners were like John Brown, holy cow.
First he was a hero and then they realized this guy is out of control because he led raids and killings and he terrified people, even people on his own side.
And all he did, now listen to this, all that John Brown actually did in the end was accelerate the polarization, not reconciliation, polarization that was used as fire in the Civil War.
Abraham Lincoln, not an apologist, distanced himself because John Brown was blood-soaked.
Okay.
He became a symbol of what not to do.
He's a warning sign, not a model.
So when Walsh invokes John Brown, he's normalizing political violence.
Violence is acceptable because it's righteous.
History says otherwise.
John Brown's violence didn't free the slaves.
It didn't build consensus.
It didn't strengthen the rule of law.
It didn't protect any of the innocents.
What it did was harden the sides, legitimize retaliation, make any kind of compromise absolutely impossible.
So there's the governor of Minnesota recasting federal law enforcement as an occupying enemy, elevating resistance over law, suggesting violence is historically justified.
That's not civil rights rhetoric.
That's pre-Civil War rhetoric.
And history's really clear, pre-Civil War sometimes will lead to civil war.
This is the talk of an insurrectionist.
Really dangerous.
And by the way, Trump yesterday called Alex Preddy an agitator and perhaps an insurrectionist.
Hmm.
That's kind of important language as well.
Pre-Civil War Rhetoric00:15:29
We'll have more on this.
And also, we're going to recall when Tim Waltz called into the show.
Called into the show.
Oh, yeah.
I think it was the night of the first debate, wasn't it?
Yeah.
And he was very excited.
And we recall that.
And so much more.
Pat Gray joins us as well in just a couple of minutes.
Right here on the Glenbeck program.
Stand by for more.
Rough Greens.
Dogs have a way of telling you when something's not quite right.
Not with words.
They just slow down a little bit.
They sleep more.
They begin to eat grass.
You know, they're not eager to jump around and run like they used to.
It's hard to miss the signs, but a lot of times we just go, ah, they're getting older.
It can be what's missing from their diet.
Dry kibble is processed food.
And if you think our processed food is bad, imagine what's happening to our dogs.
It's cooked at really high temperatures.
It means everything that they really need that's alive and really good, that's all cooked out of there.
That's why Rough Greens is here.
It's not a new dog food.
It's a powder that you add to the food.
You're already feeding your dog.
The dog absolutely love it.
They go nuts for it.
Uno used to lick the bowl.
I mean, one of my favorite sounds from Uno was the sound of the bowl hitting the side of the wall and his chain hitting the bowl.
I knew he was happy when he was eating, which never happened before Rough Greens.

There's going to be a special fourth hour today, Q&A for Stu's last day.
Stu's leaving the program.
Is the job done?
No, but he's quitting anyway because that's the kind of guy he is.
Twitter.
But why would I want to leave?
I do want to play something.
This is the one and only time Stu ever did Tim Walz because his throat hurt afterwards.
Little baby couldn't handle it anymore.
But it was the day that Tim Walz was going to do the debate.
Here it is.
Welcome to the program.
We have Tim on the phone.
Hello, Tim.
Hello.
Hello, Glenn.
Hello, how are you?
Hello, Ben.
I'm Tim Walz.
Tim Walz.
Hello.
Hi.
I mean, I debate tonight.
Will you watch?
Well, we're going to be watching Blaze TV.
You're debating tonight.
That's good.
I like fishing.
I know you like fishing.
I coach football.
Did you like the football?
I heard you were a coach.
Did you say the football is the same shape as my head?
As your what?
As my head.
As your head.
People said my head looked like football.
That's right, okay.
I like fishing and hunting.
Can I ask?
Can I ask you?
JD Vance is weird.
Did you know JD Vent is weird?
I'm going to say that tonight on the debate.
JD Vant is weird.
I like balloons.
I'd be on debate tonight.
Did you know I was the man in front of Teeth at Sentiment Square?
Hello?
Hello, Glenn.
I thought in World War II.
This is Tim Walz.
I know, Tim.
How are you still on the phone?
I was talking for seven minutes and you did not answer.
Okay, because I thought we had hung up.
That's what I was saying to Minnesota.
Mind your own damn business.
Okay.
All right.
JD Vance is weird.
Yeah, okay.
We're going to talk to you about the JD Vance.
I like debate.
I like poodles.
Poodles.
Poodles?
I like poodles.
Tim Walz, hang up the phone, please.
Can you?
Yes.
I love you.
I talked about you on debate tonight.
You watched debate tonight.
Mind your own damn business.
Thank you.
Thank you for calling Tim Walz.
Will you cut him off, please?
Oh, man.
How do we get paid for this?
I don't...
I have no understanding.
That's the best impression I ever.
I've been working on it for a while.
It's actually been in development for a while.
I've been really thinking about it.
I think I've nailed it.
I think you did.
I mean, if all those phrases came out of his mouth tonight, would you know the difference?
I have any idea.
We may have a very special guest after tonight's debate on TV.
Tim Walz may have to stand by and come on the program tonight, so you don't want to miss that.
This is the only time.
This is the only time that Tim Walz ever appeared on the program because Stu finished it.
He was like, ow, my throat really hurts.
Like, sacrifice for comedy, man.
It's amazing that I would ever leave a job that would pay me to do that.
It doesn't make any sense at all.
But yeah, I like blew my voice out after that.
The whole rest of the day.
I think that might have not been the actual what you were doing as much as the hate that came with.
Yes.
Yes.
It was the pure Tim Walz, concentrated hatred that was associated with that particular voice.
What a day.
So, Stu, you are leaving and you haven't announced to anybody yet what you're doing.
So can you announce?
Can you yeah, we can talk about it.
So, you know, it's been something, it's a little bit different than what we've been doing for the last 28 years together, but actually also close as well.
Parts of the stuff that we've been doing here for a long time.
You know, one of my roles here in the program has kind of been chief data nerd, guy who looks at the elections and tries to predict the outcomes to them and analyzes all that stuff.
And so I'm starting a new company that is revolving in the world of prediction markets.
If you don't know what they are, they've kind of only become widespread over the past year or so.
But basically, you can kind of look and invest on whether anything is going to happen.
Yes or no.
A simple question.
Will this happen or not?
Yes or no?
And you predict the outcome.
And if you're correct, you can profit off of that information.
Wait, wait, wait.
So are you, hold it just a second.
Are you analyzing those sites or are you starting?
Are you falling in with the mob?
Look, if the mob has money they want to hand me for this operation, I'm interested.
I'll listen to you.
But no, this is like, you know, there's the company's going to be doing a few different things, but the one that's probably interesting to the audience is we're going to have a show.
It's going to be called Predictable with Stubergeer.
You can go check it out now.
It's at predictableshow.com.
And, you know, there you go.
By the way, I trademarked your name.
Oh, so I can't even use my own name.
Wow.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
You've always been a helper, Glenn.
That's really nice.
It's just a licensing fee.
He'll let me use it as long as I just pay him constantly.
Hey, two can play the mob thing.
Okay.
That's true.
I could be shaken down with the best of them.
That's right.
But the show is going to analyze the news, the things that we talk about every day, kind of a special focus on the elections, considering we're going into election time, and that's been something somewhat of an expertise of mine for a while.
And we're going to be talking about all these news events as they relate to these prediction markets.
And, you know, I think it really gives, you know, the free market that we talk about all the time that makes the world a better place, that improves the world, that does so many amazing things, can be applied here as sort of an engine to find the truth.
You know, the media is obviously going down the wrong road with this.
They're incentivized to lie to you.
They want you to go the total opposite direction.
They're trying to move you to get to the right side of history all the time.
I mean, we're in a time where a Supreme Court justice can't answer a question about what a woman is.
They don't want to tell you the truth.
And what I love about prediction markets, and it's a really unique thing with them, is you have to put your money where your mouth is.
These are, you're betting, you're investing with your own real money, and people don't lie when that is on the line.
They'll lie to you on television.
They won't lie to you there.
We've always thought this was the right thing.
I mean, remember, DARPA did this right after 9-11, and they said, we're going to go to the five eyes and to people who study terrorism, and we're going to let them invest in a kind of a stock market, if you will, of where do they think the most likely terrorist attacks are going to come from?
How are they going to do it?
And it was stopped because everybody was like, that's an outrage.
No, no, that is a very good way.
Get people to put their money on where are the weaknesses?
Where do they see things?
I just think that is the way to find out how people really feel.
Yeah.
And the elections are a really good example of this, right?
You know, you have the media telling you who they want to win.
They're constantly pushing one way or the other.
You've got the campaigns that are lying to you about whether they're going to win or not.
You have, I mean, you also have a lot of people who are telling you exactly what you want to hear about the election.
Your guy's going to win.
Don't worry about it.
I want what's actually going to happen.
I want the truth.
And these markets can really do damage in that world.
They can cut through the punditry, which I really, really like in today's world.
I think it's something a really important additional layer that we don't have really in our coverage right now.
So that is a big part of it.
It's at predictableshow.com.
Please go there.
By the way, are going to, if you go there, put your email address in for free, you'll get a 2026 Senate preview.
We're going to give you kind of the outline as to what the Senate race is going to look like in 2026, kind of a starting point for everyone to be able to understand what we are facing here in the next few months, which are going to be pretty intense.
So go there and put your email address in.
That's going to be part of it.
And I also will say another interesting layer.
Prediction markets aren't perfect.
They don't always have the right answers.
And that's good because when they have the wrong answers, you are able to profit off of this.
And this is something that I have been doing behind the scenes on my own dime for a long time, over a decade now.
Been using prediction markets myself.
I've paid for a lot of vacations over the years because of it.
And it's been really, really good.
And I think it's a much more accessible way for people to invest, right?
Like you can go in and try to predict what a stock's going to do.
It's a great invest.
It's a great way to.
It's gambling still.
It is not gambling.
Glenn, I have.
No, you're right.
You're right.
It is not.
It is legally not gambling.
First of all, you are accurate.
Secondly, I have gambled a decent amount in my life.
I am not against gambling.
I've gone to Vegas.
I'll place a sports bet here and there.
You know what happens when I do that, Glenn?
I lose over and over and over again.
I know.
I really do think there's nothing different.
It's not chance.
This is not chance.
People know this audience is obsessed with knowing what's going on in the world.
They sit here and they listen to this stupid show and your nonsensical rantings only just to get to one fact every once in a while.
They love the country.
They love the truth.
And they know about these things.
Like if you know, you know, your senator in your state and your state, he always folds on a big vote.
And everyone's telling you he's going to vote one way.
And you know he's going to fold.
We all say these things all the time.
This guy is going to fold.
You go on the prediction market and you say, hey, there's an 80% chance he's voting one way.
You know he's going to fold on that.
There's real opportunity there.
You know, it's different than like you, you put money into a stock.
What are you doing?
You are trying to analyze what some Chinese supply chain is doing.
What, you know, what is going on internally in the country, internally inside of the company.
Is the CEO going to hook up with some random person at a cold play concert and blow the stock up?
You have no idea what's going on with all this stuff.
There's so many factors.
This is, will something happen?
Yes or no?
That's what it is.
And there's a definitive end to it.
You can actually look at these things and do really well.
I've been able to do really, really well, particularly on the elections.
And that's going to be kind of our main focus, but we're going to look at culture and all these other things as well.
Bring on like tons of the best traders in the world and the biggest experts to kind of get you to look for an edge right here as well.
Yeah, that makes sense.
That's a good word for you to use.
A D, a trader.
It's, of course, it's predictable, the show.com, something like that.
Predictableshow.com.
Thank you.
And Stu is going to be joining us from time to time because there is a lot.
I really believe in the prediction markets like this.
I think that there is a lot of information to be.
And when Stu told me this, I was prepared to go, don't go, don't go.
You fail at everything you try.
Yeah, please don't.
Thank you.
Please, just listen to me.
And he told me, and I was like, you know, that is absolutely, this is you.
This 100% you.
It's still going to fail like a miserable.
But it's absolutely what Stu should be doing.
And I'm actually thrilled about it.
So I think it's going to be a new one.
You're not really leaving to sell facial cream because that's what I heard it was.
A lot of people guessed that it was her new free Bill O'Reilly were going to sell facial facial cream.
I will tell you, may I say, this announcement has just changed in the last hour and a half because I know what he was doing beforehand.
Thrilled About Metabolic Health00:04:32
And now that Don Lemon has been arrested, he's like, well, now I can't go produce that show.
That was on the table.
I considered it highly.
Let me just hit one more time here, Glenn.
It's predictableshow.com.
Even if you don't care about prediction markets, the election analysis you're going to get there, you're really going to love.
It's really good.
So go there, sign up.
You'll get that free report on the Senate.
And then also, a lot of people were asking what's going on with Blaze TV.
I'm going to be doing Studos America, a new episode on Monday.
So, you know, if you want to hear me rant about everything I've been ranting about over the years, I will be over there on Blaze TV.
We're not letting you down on the Blaze TV family.
So join us on Studos America.
Of course, it's all on YouTube.
If you just go to youtube.com slash studios America, the show Predictable will eventually be there as well.
So thanks so much for, and I got to say too, and I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this.
Please, sir, God, let it end.
Glenn's been very cool and very supportive about all of this.
Okay, I'm done.
I'm done.
That's all I have to say about you.
Thank you.
All right, good.
All right.
Back on just in just a second.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
It's Rapid Radios.
We've all had that moment where you really needed to reach somebody and your phone decides, nah, not right now.
Calls drop, signal bars disappear, and you're moving around trying to find a spot where your voice actually goes through.
Can you hear me now?
It's amazing how dependent we are on devices that don't always cooperate.
And that's why I like to have a backup way to communicate, especially when we're up at the ranch.
I've got, you know, a thousand acres and it is very mountainous, and there's no cell signal there at all.
You can hear each other crystal clear on rapid radios.
And the range is really what catches people off guard.
You can connect across town or even further.
I mean, you can go across state lines.
And it's clear audio.
You don't have to check with your phone.
It's clear.
It's there.
You push the button and you talk, and your whole team can hear you.
Rapid Radios also offers a 60% discount for businesses.
It's a practical way to keep your teams connected on job sites or large properties.
Sometimes the best technology is the kind that just works when you need it.

Rapid Radios, communication redefined.
Oh, crap.
Turns out.
When did that get there?
Common sense ain't all that common.
But around here, it's still standard equipment.
glenn beck returns in a minute so a lot of people think that being tired in the middle of the day is just part of being busy You grab more coffee, you power through, and you assume that's normal.
But of course, it's not.
Your schedule is wearing down on you.
It's honestly, it's your body reacting to the food you're giving it usually.
When meals are heavy on quick carbs and low on the nutrients your body actually needs, blood sugar can spike and blood sugar can crash.
And that roller coaster does not just affect hunger, it affects energy and focus and even mood.
You feel good for a little while and then suddenly you're dragging and wondering what happened.
Health code was created to help smooth that out.
It's built around supporting metabolic health, which is really about keeping your internal fuel system more steady and more predictable.
And the approach comes from Dr. Ben Bickman.
You might know him.
He's been in the news quite a bit lately.
He's a metabolic researcher who studies how insulin and blood sugar irregulation affect how we feel day to day.
Health code is a nutritionally complete meal shake.
It's designed with that research in mind, and it emphasizes protein and healthy fats, keeps the carbs really low, and it avoids the added sugar and supports metabolic, gut, and brain health all at the same time.
Instead of your meals pushing your body around, they start working with it and helping energy feel more consistent, to feel the hunger kind of be a little less chaotic.

Inflation-Proof Pricing for Life00:02:56
Monday is the beginning of February.
And it's inflation proof.
You sign up the first month for the torch in Glenbeck.com.
You get it at the same price for the rest of your life.
You know, a lot of back discomfort comes from one big movement.
And it comes from repetition.
Sitting too long.
Standing too long.
Moving the same way every day.
And over time, that tension just settles in and starts to feel normal, even though it shouldn't.
What Chirp does is go straight to the source of that tension.
Their wheel-style back rollers are designed to target the muscles that run along your spine, the ones that really get tight and overworked and become stiff from daily life.
You lie back, you roll slowly, and you let those muscles finally start to release.
It's so satisfying.
The design is smart and intentional.
There's a groove down the center, so you're never putting pressure on your own spine itself.
Just the muscle on either side.
And with the multiple wheel sizes, you can control how deep the stretch goes, whether you want it something gentle or more targeted.
Simple tool, but it addresses the problems a lot of people have been living with for a lot of years.
If that's you, please go to gochirp.com slash beck.

Glenn Beck is on.
is This is the Glenn Beck program.
Glenn Beck is on.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program00:14:01
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
It is Friday, January 30th, 2026.
This is the last day or the last weekend of free trial for Glenn Beck.com and a torch.
If you want to join us and make sure you don't miss a single episode, make sure you go there and sign up now, Glennbeck.com.
You can see all of the things that we're doing, including the fourth hour today.
We're doing Q ⁇ A for Stu's last day.
Today is Stu's last day.
We'll talk about that here in a second.
But first, let me just recap some of the news that's going on.
We have a new chairman of the Fed, Kevin Wars.
He's a nominee.
He's a nominee.
He's going to be.
I mean, here's how this works.
The Fed gives the president a list, kind of like the mullahs in Iran, and says, you can pick one of these guys.
And so Labrezo's like, okay, I'll take that guy.
So we got that guy, and he'll be replacing the other guy that was, oh, so good.
Anyway, we'll talk about that.
Also, the Donroad Doctrine, a lot of things are happening in that.
May have a strike also on Iran.
And Tim Walz is in the news, as is Alex Predi.
More on that in Minnesota.
But we'll pick all of this up here in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
Buying or selling a house is one of those things people do to maybe a handful of times in their life.
And yet we expect ourselves to be experts at it.
We watch a few shows, we scroll some listings, and we think, ah, bro, I got a handle on how all this works.
Real estate markets are local.
They're fast and they're full of details that can cost you a lot of money if you miss them.
That's why I tell people about real estate agents I trust.
Realestateagentsitrust.com is my company, born out of frustration, not being able to know how to even vet a good real estate agent.
How do I know who's going to be able to sell my house?
I mean, real estate agents come in your house and you're like, can you tell my house?
And they're like, yes, we can.
Okay, yo, hi, you.
Really not a good idea.
Sorry, I was doing my Tim Waltz impersonation.
Right now, realestateagentsitrust.com.
We have great real estate agents that are waiting to talk to you.
So the staff has put together a little montage that none of us have heard yet.
It just kind of looks back on all of the years that Stu has been on this program, some of the personal things and some of the funniest things on the program.
So roll the montage, please.
Stu and I have been talking about my career and his career for at least two years.
And Stu has, for a long time, wanted to do his own thing.
And I appreciate that.
And I appreciate all of the many, many years.
I'm looking at your resume here.
Then you went to the Glenn Beck program, where you were the co-host EP, executive producer.
Say hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stu Bregier.
Hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stu Bregier.
Glenn, how are you this morning?
Oh, I'm good.
I'm good.
Let me say hello to our executive producer.
That is Stu Bregier.
Hello, Stu.
How are you?
Glenn, how are you?
I mean, Stu was there for the very first talk show I ever did.
How old were you when we met?
I was, let's see, 20.
20 years old.
Yeah.
And what was your impression of me?
Because you got to me at the end of my radio career or my, you know, top 40 radio career.
I mean, I grew up in Connecticut, so I knew you from your morning show at Casey 101, which is, you know, music station, the big station in my hometown, basically.
And I knew, you know, Glenn and Pat in the morning.
And this is an important lesson, I think, for people coming up, not only in broadcasting, but any industry, is find someone who's very talented, but at the very valley of their career, like the worst possible time, because those people usually have good lessons, are talented, but also you can kind of glom onto them when they're at their lowest.
And then you can convince them you were part of their success later on.
Hello, Stu.
How are you, Glenn?
I'm fine.
Hello, Stu.
How are you?
That's a great question, Glenn.
No idea.
That's my new position on that question.
I have a freaking idea.
And he has told me what he's planning on doing.
And I actually think it's a really good idea.
And so I fully support it.
I'm just sad that it's going to bring you further away from me.
We won't see each other every day, but hopefully you'll be bringing some of this stuff onto the show.
And I've never worked with anybody more honest, more decent, and more loyal than you.
You know, a big part of my job and my career has been trying to execute your vision, like what you want to do, what you think is the most important.
I said this morning, I said we were in this meeting and I said, got to get Stu into a numbers costume.
And I thought of this big foam thing where his face would be inside the number six or something.
Did you stop and think at any time, why did I say we got to get Stu in a numbers costume?
Stu is here to break down some numbers.
He's the executive producer of the radio show.
And Stu, I assume that the number two plays a role.
Because last night one didn't really stand for anything.
You were very clear after the show that you wanted the number costume to make sense.
There's just nobody better because you live stats.
Stu has the election by the numbers.
Yeah, national polls are here.
We're more showing a definite tightening.
Stu you're a numbers guy.
Yes.
Geek.
I mean, I'm a poll geek.
Yeah, you're a total geek.
Stu's here to do the math.
We also have some of the latest poll results that are in.
What's the biggest fight we've ever had?
I mean, there haven't been many.
Isn't that what I said?
That's what I just quoted you.
That's not what I just said.
When I said, like you said, that's what I was indicating.
Yes, that you said it.
That's why I said like you said.
Oh, I'll bring in my firearms, too.
I'm not trying to start a gun battle here.
You seem to be a little on edge.
You're wearing your most obnoxious Eagles sweatshirt.
That's right.
What's wrong with you still back in the Eagles?
They're America's team.
Yeah.
You got a freaking Eagle.
And I knew there was something special about what we were doing.
Jake Vick is weird.
Did you know Jake Vick is weird?
I'm going to say that tonight on the top HD.
JK Vick is weird.
I like balloons.
We have Brittany on the phone.
Hello, Brittany.
Are you going to shut the border down now?
Let me ask you this.
What about Brunch?
Thank you for being my friend.
And thank you for being so loyal to me.
And you have changed my life, and I've truly thank you for that, you quitter.
And so today, I mean, we're not really saying goodbye to Stu because, I mean, if history teaches us anything, it's that goodbyes with Stu's or more a little like intermissions.
You know, he leaves, he fails.
It's kind of a little more like, hey, we'll see you after the snack bar situation.
You know what I mean?
I don't know where that's coming from.
Stu started as an intern, which means at one point in his life, he fetched coffee and thought, you know, I might be able to do better than this.
And to his credit, he did.
He was producer, executive producer, head writer of the program, which is not really a career ladder.
That's more of like a hostile takeover, you know.
You know, conducted with sarcasm and impeccable timing.
And he has been with me for 28 years, which is longer than most Hollywood marriages, longer than both of our marriages, longer than most governments last, longer than the average Eagles Super Bowl window, you know?
And here we are.
Here we are again, because Stu is leaving again.
I just want to let, I mean, just let's be clear.
He left this show once to start his own show, and it failed.
And spectacularly, none of this is true.
Failure is the failure is real.
I mean, it wasn't a dignified creative differences kind of failure.
This was like come crawling back like a Vietnam vet looking for his old platoon kind of failure.
I tell you that.
And I welcome him back.
I welcomed him back.
It was also.
Because that's what family does.
You know what I mean?
It was also the type of failure where I took over for you and left with higher ratings.
That's the type of failure it was, by the way, just so you're aware.
Right before.
Please, let me get this out or I'll cry.
Right before syndication, right before syndication, you know, the promised land, Stu almost left again, but this time he saved because, you know, he stayed because he was like, wow, that could make me a lot of money.
And so he did stay, which brings us to today where Stu is leaving us one more time.
Somehow or another, convinced that this time will be different.
Why?
I don't know, because this time he's doing a show about odds.
Odds.
Hosted by a man who has repeatedly bet against his own track record.
You see what I'm saying here?
A man who looks at a lifetime of data and says, yeah, but this time I kind of feel lucky.
I feel lucky.
I really do.
So we wish him all of the best on the way.
No, I mean, I sincerely, I sincerely.
Anyway, so he's leaving again.
And one of Stu's superpowers, and this is honest, is not comedic timing, although he's got some of the best comedic timing.
It's emotional sabotage timing.
You can guarantee if I share, I mean, the reason why I'm not sharing anything personal, spiritual, vulnerable is because that's when Stu strikes.
Okay.
He's got this, I mean, not with a thoughtful question, not with empathy.
Usually it's with a fat joke, sometimes brilliant, sometimes a little lazy, but it's always perfectly timed and devastating.
And that, I mean, I could be talking about God and Stu's like, yeah, but have you considered salads?
And somehow or another, it works.
I mean, it's a gift.
It's gift.
But he, one of the things we're going to miss, and a lot of people are on the phone saying that, you know, they remember all of the stuff with Super Bowls and everything else and Football Fridays.
And that's where you'll find his real loyalties.
Stu loves three things in the world.
Philadelphia Eagles, apparently quitting, and Philadelphia Eagles.
He loves the Eagles more than his wife and children, which is impressive because I'm told by Stu's new PR firm that they apparently still love him a lot.
Wow.
But that's what, I mean, that's just what I heard.
But I wanted to give you something, Stu, because, you know, you didn't earn the car.
That was for somebody who made it 30 years.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
You've told me that multiple times.
I wanted to get you something because honestly, you're one of my best friends.
You are indispensable, irreplaceable, on and off the air.
You've made this show funnier and smarter and sharper.
You have made me a better man.
And I'm going to miss you.
Interns don't last 27 years.
And quitters don't get welcome back.
You'd be welcome back anytime.
and failures don't leave legacies which you have left even though the odds may not be in your favor on the why You know, I mean, the show will fail.
We all know it.
And then you'll be back and I'll leave the lights on.
But I wanted to give you a gift.
So if you just, I think it should be there by you.
I want to give you a gift and just say thank you for the best broadcast experience and the best years of my life.
Thank you.
Thank you, Clan.
open up your stupid present this is going to be something like what I don't know.
What is your prediction?
What's your prediction?
I mean, my first guess was human waste.
I thought it might just be a box of human waste.
But I don't know what it is.
Let's see.
Don't know how to open it, apparently, either.
The 104 Breitling Halting Santa00:02:46
wow it's a watch so it is a whoa It is a Breitling Super ChronoMat.
There are only 104 of these made.
They're made for the Philadelphia Eagles.
If you take it out and look on the back side, it has the NFL logo and the Eagles on the front of the face.
So it's a commemorative limited edition watch just for the Eagles.
There were more of them, but the Eagles threw them out and were halting Santa with them.
So there's only 104 of them left.
Glenn, this is unbelievable.
I just wanted to thank you for the time we've had together.
Thank you, Glenn.
This is an incredible gift.
And I, you know, I can't thank you enough for everything.
I don't want to become a stopbing mess, so I'm going to stop.
Let's go into a commercial, shall we?
That's awesome.
Thank you.
All right, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
When your phone buzzes, it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do, connecting you to the people that you care about.
Texts from your kids, calls from friends.
Strange, phone never buzzes or rings with Stu on the other line, but that's a different story.
But here's the part most people never think about.
Your phone, your phone company is connected to all kinds of things.
Big mobile corporations don't just provide service.
They fund causes.
They lobby for policies and support agendas with the money you send them every single month.
And a lot of the time, those causes are exact opposite of what you are trying to live by.
Patriot Mobile flips that script and you'll get nationwide coverage.
You still get competitive pricing.
You still get phones that work the way they should, but now your bill is connected to something different.
Support for free speech and religious liberty and the Second Amendment and the sanctity of life and all the things that you care deeply about.
Your phone already connects you to your world.
Patriot Mobile makes sure your money connects you to your values.
So go to patriotmobile.com slash Beck or call 972-Patriot 972-Patriot.

Patrick Mahomes' Super Bowl Story00:15:35
Uh, Glenn?
Yes.
You gave me a present.
I actually got you a little something as well.
Now, I do not have the Ability maybe to select an amazing watch like you gave me, but I thought I got something that I thought you'd appreciate.
Um, and Pat has it here, it's uh, it's wrapped here.
Maybe show over here.
So, this is uh something I think you'll like.
Um, you know, again, the only thing I know maybe more than you is sports, so I thought I could get you something cool related to your favorite player, uh, Patrick Mahomes.
So signed uh oh, look at that, look at that right there.
Look at that, that's incredible.
Look at that, Patrick Mahomes signed photo framed.
See him, see him there, Pat?
Can you point to him?
Can you point to him right there?
Yeah, that's him right there.
Now, it is signed by Cooper DeGene after the Pick Six in the Super Bowl, but you can see Patrick Mahomes.
You can see Patrick Mahomes right there, right there.
And, you know, and not exactly center, but right in the front, he's a little off the blurry.
But he is in the picture.
On Monday, on Monday, on Monday, as you know, for people who are signing up for the torch, somebody's going to win an amazing picture of the Philadelphia Eagles signed by somebody.
You're welcome, Glenn.
I hope you appreciated that.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I can't see it.
Wow, it's incredible.
You know what's weird?
Is you know what this weekend is?
This is something we have tried to erase from everything that we could ever, we ever knew existed.
What do you mean?
Let me just hold these up.
This weekend is Gasparilla Week.
Oh, my God.
In Tampa, Florida.
We started in Tampa, and True Story is a parade.
It's a crazy parade.
Crazy.
It's like Mardi Gras.
Crazy.
And the station asked us, WFLA asked us if we could host it.
And Jeffy was there.
Stu was there.
I was there.
And we did not want to host it.
We were like, no, I don't want to host this thing.
And so they made us host it.
And so we had a plan.
We are going to make the most offensive broadcast that we could possibly come up with.
And so we planned, like, we went all the way.
We've destroyed all of these tapes.
But we made it.
We were raiding the cheerleaders of the high school bands.
And when you see fat ones in this, you and you and Jeffy, of course.
I mean, it was horrific.
And we knew it.
And it was hysterical, but horrific.
But we wanted to make sure that they never asked us again.
Okay.
That was a mistake.
The exact opposite happened.
It became like a really big deal.
And then they asked us every year.
And thank God for syndication because I was like, I can't do that anymore.
I can't do that anymore.
It was horrendous.
But this is the anniversary.
This is the weekend of Gasparilla in Tampa.
Jeffy joins us here, by the way.
Yeah, I know he changed the subject to Gasparilla.
I came in.
He was giving away presents.
I thought I'd be able to learn that.
Jeffy, I have one for you.
It's a signed picture of somebody in the end zone with Patrick Mahomes in the background.
Wow.
More in just a second.
So let me tell you about SimpliSafe.
You don't need a news alert to know, you know, the world feels different than it used to.
I mean, people are on edge.
Crime doesn't always stay somewhere else.
And a lot of people are realizing you just can't assume that everything is going to be, you know, okay because it always has been.
There's a big difference between living in fear and being prepared, but recognizing reality.
Simply Safe wants to make it really easy to protect your home without turning your life upside down.
And you can set it up all by yourself.
No drilling through walls, no pushy salespeople, nobody coming in, no long-term contracts hanging over your head.
I hate that.
The system watches over your doors and your windows and your rooms.
If something triggers it, you're alerted immediately.
And professional monitoring can dispatch help fast.
If you're living in an apartment or something, you're getting ready to move or whatever, you can take it with you.
It's really, really good.
And it's not about being paranoid.
It's about being prepared, knowing that when you lay your head down at night, or when you leave for work or you're gone for a while, everything is going to be okay and your family's safe as well.
And right now, you can get 50% off of any new system this month only, simplysafe.com/slash Beck.
It ends this weekend.
SimplySafe.com/slash Beck.
There is no safe like SimplySafe.
It's my last day today.
Please join us on the new venture, predictableshow.com.
And don't forget, glennbeck.com as well.
So I got to tell you, I don't know why we're doing this big thing for Stu today.
We're going to get to the news here in a second, but I mean, technically, I'm the one who's gone.
You guys are all together still.
And I mean, oh, that's a good point.
Thanks for showing up for my last day.
Really appreciate your dedication to our 28-year working relationship.
That's yeah, well, it's the only way I can deal with it is you on the other side of the country.
That's the way it needs to be done.
But Pat is with me and Stu on his last day.
Although Stu and Pat will be filling in, you know, for me, and Stu will be part of the show from time to time.
He's doing a I would love to do that.
That's fun.
That would be fun.
Well, it's up to Pat because Pat's really in the pole position now.
So, Pat, I mean, it's up to you.
Don't worry about dragging that in.
Let me think about these things.
I'll have to think about it.
Yeah, thinking about it.
And, you know, another show that Stu quit on was the Pat and Stu show with Jeffy.
That's nice.
Thank you.
Right?
Is that Jeffy?
Am I not right?
Yeah, you are 100% correct.
It's a real shame to see Stu go.
And now you're saying he's going to be back.
I'm not a fan of that.
The typical radio job averages like 16 months.
I last for 28 years, and I got called a quitter on my last day over and over and over again.
Yeah, but you got certified replica watch.
Yeah, you didn't, by the way, you didn't get this from Jeffy.
You didn't buy this from Jeffy because his are knockoffs.
You realize he sells knockoffs.
They're 100% certified replicas.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, technically, I didn't get it from Jeffy.
I might have purchased it from Jeffy, but I didn't get it from Jeffy.
So we have a lot of people on the phone.
Let me go to Luke in Maine.
Hello, Luke.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Hello.
I have a quick story about how the good Lord possibly spared my life for two Super Bowls, Pat, Stu, Glenn, and a sandwich.
Oh, obviously.
I know, yeah.
Good setup.
Yeah.
Well, in December of 2001, I went through a windshield of a car in a car accident, nearly died.
Later, in February, the Patriots won a Super Bowl.
That night, I was in a rollover in Westville, Virginia, on my way to Kentucky.
And Jeffy, actually, Honest Land by Elvis, was playing it at the time.
Oh, yeah, there you go.
Then years later, the plumber for LLD, he got me hooked on your show.
That was around 2004.
Then fast forward to 2005, Stu actually rigged more on trivia.
Oh, that's false.
Yes.
That is false.
Yes.
I would never do such a thing.
That is absolutely true.
Stu used to rig it all the time.
All the time.
All the time.
What are you talking about?
He would ring it.
All the time.
I wasn't rigging.
I was like, I'm not sure if I can do the Eagles and everything.
The Commissioner was created because of that.
Yes.
Thank you, Jeffy.
Anyway, Luke, go ahead with your fine, fine story.
A gentleman by the name of Pat Gray called in and threw a flag, and he called out Stu on that because there were so many smart people calling in on the Philadelphia side.
There's just smart people that are Eagles fans.
There's nothing I can do about that.
If you're smart, you're all 12 of them.
Who knew all 12 of them in Philadelphia would be able to roll on that day?
Then somehow it painted the picture that us New Englanders were stupid.
Wow.
Well, it's neither here nor there.
It's just, no, it's wrong.
It's just wrong.
Facts are facts.
It is.
That is wrong now.
Sure is.
Right.
America's heard it.
And I threw that flag clear from Houston, Texas.
That's right.
That's an important element.
That's how important it was to throw that flag.
Luke, can you bring us to the sandwich into the saving of the life?
Well, Stu made that bet with you, and then you sent him out to Billy with that New England Super Bowl shirt on.
You sent him to the Liberty Bell.
He screamed out, the Liberty Bell is broken, so is the Constitution.
No, I don't think so.
We actually happen to have the tape.
We actually have the tape of this.
Can you play the tape of Stu and his punishment?
Here he is at the Liberty Bell.
Fix the damn bell!
Fix the damn bell!
The Constitution!
So it's going to ruin my future political career, that's for sure.
Actually, my damn bell.
So Ron Casoda probably won't.
Was this, Stu, was this a separate time from you when you had to, when I actually said the steps of the thing was, I wanted to go to the Super Bowl.
I was very excited.
It was my first Super Bowl.
And I thought, you know, I was hoping the Eagles would win.
But you said if the Eagles lose, you were going to come back and I was going to have to be tortured when I came back.
So you made me run up the Rocky Steps, which, by the way, way too much exercise.
That was the first piece of torture.
But then at the top, you made me yell with a sign, Rocky was a loser too.
And then I was required to get away from the game.
People in Philadelphia have such a good sense of humor.
Oh, yeah, I didn't almost get murdered at each location.
The second one was I went to the Liberty Bell and told him the stupid bell is broken.
Fix the damn bell.
And then the third one was actually maybe the most embarrassing, which is I had to go to, I think it was Gino's Cheese Steaks and order a hamburger sub with Swiss.
And they don't appreciate that.
No, they don't.
No, they don't make that.
They're not exactly the type that just say, I'm sorry, sir.
We don't serve that.
No, but that's not the thing.
They do.
But, you know, I got to go see a Super Bowl, even though they lost it.
So eventually they did wind up winning too, just to remind you.
You'll be doing a lot of those things.
Let me go to Mike in Illinois on line six.
Hello, Mike.
Good morning, guys.
First of all, if you guys ever come to Chicago, let me know.
I'll put 20 pounds on you because I'll take you all to good places to eat.
There you go.
20 pounds.
That's one pizza in Chicago.
And it's not deep dish.
It's not deep dish.
It's this tavern thin crust.
So all you want likes deep dishes is the travel channel.
So that's about it.
Anyway, what's up with this?
Well, why you got to do this?
You got to leave us.
You're leaving us with the pale white guy.
I mean, that's not a way to talk about that or Jeff.
He's going to auger.
He's going to auger to show Doug Acessna 150 in about two weeks.
I mean, you're the one who keeps us together here.
Why do you got to be like that?
I apologize.
I will say this, though.
Yes, he is a very pasty white guy, but he moved to Florida.
This guy's going to be George Hamilton in a few weeks.
Like, this is going to be, he's going to be, he is going to be.
I am so riddled with skin cancer, my wife will not let me outside.
I look at the sun and she's like, get an umbrella.
I'm like, oh my God.
You're tanning sons.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's not happening.
Let me go to Cody in Texas.
Hello, Cody.
Hey, fellas, how are you doing?
Hey, good.
How are you?
You're going to be missed.
I'm great.
I'm remembering about 25 years ago, you were on a serious phone call with a lady named Jean, and I think you were telling her about a relative that had passed away that was riddled with SIDS.
And Stu kept chiming in with the feminine high, and you kept saying her name.
And I nearly wrecked my truck listening to that bit.
So I don't crush it up from the past.
Oh, no, we remember that one quite well.
That was one of our favorites as well.
I'm surprised anybody else does.
I mean, we have been overwhelmed this week with people, you know, online, the people, the insiders, and people have been calling and writing, remembering things that we have done that we have completely, I mean, most of it, I swear we never did.
I swear we never did.
I'd like to.
I'd like to believe that.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
It's really true.
You know, so many people reaching out there.
It's been really cool to go down that memory lane, if you will.
And so many of them are either incredibly embarrassing, really, really funny, or I had just totally forgot that it even happened.
I mean, like, you guys have such a great memory compared to us.
I don't know.
I know yours was drugs, Glenn, but I don't know why I'm having a problem with it.
I mean, they were posting pictures.
I saw pictures of Stu and I in the studio falling asleep to Glenn's radio show in 2001.
Yeah.
Holy cow.
I think we need to.
Let me go to John in Indiana.
Hello, John.
Hey, Glenn.
Hey, Stu.
Hey, Stu, John.
We're really going to miss you here, Stu.
But let me tell you, five of us got together, threw $10 each into a pool.
We wrote down different things of what we thought you were going to do.
And then to figure out who was going to be right, had to pull it from the hat.
Well, Stu, you lost me 50 bucks.
I pulled out of the hat that you were going to do gay porn.
Yeah, you know, I had considered it.
There's really, with AI coming in, though, there's just not a future there, you know?
What's weird is he was going to do it with Don Lemon until Don Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles today.
That's cheap.
Not with other prisoners.
Stu's Gay Porn Prediction00:03:35
Yeah.
Prisoners of love.
Prisoners of love.
Okay.
Mark in Virginia.
Hey, guys.
Wow, what a bittersweet day.
Stu, I just want to know what it's been like to work with Glenn.
I notice he changes his image packaging every two or three months.
What is it like to work with a guy who can change on a dime?
And Glenn, you're creative.
You're like a Michael Landon to me, honest to God.
Just there's so much that blows out of you, and I know you have great people around you.
I'm waiting for you to blow up the little city like Michael Landon did.
But anyway, I'll never forget, real quick, Don Imis says, I love Glenn Beck, but I'm worried they're going to take him out of 30 Rock in a straitjacket.
So what's it been like to work with a guy that might be taken out of the room with a straitjacket, Stu?
It has been everything that Don Imis described.
There have been many times I've seen people come up to the door, and I hoped it was an authority figure of some sort to remove Glenn.
Unfortunately, you're leaving too early for that.
Yeah.
Wait until after the next election or two.
Oh my gosh.
Look, I might be leaving, but I will say this.
It's going to be a very interesting next few years trying to figure all this stuff out, man.
We are going to be on fire.
And, you know, I hope, I hope this, it's what Glenn always says to me when we go to the break and we're just like, God, what is going to happen?
And he goes, you know, the way I always look at it is it's going to be really interesting to see how this all plays out.
And if you kind of just think of it that way, you're right.
It's just like kind of a movie that we're all watching.
Wow, that was an interesting movie.
Dissociate yourself.
Disassociate.
It's like a rock action film.
You know, you're just like, oh, gosh, I'll probably save the day.
Who knows?
You know?
Let's hope.
Let's hope, boys and girls.
Yeah.
A little less optimistic than a rock action film that the ending is going to work out the right way.
The wolf has wings.
Of course, the wolf.
I guess exactly.
All right.
Back with more in a second.
Let me tell you about the Burna Launcher.
I want you to be able to protect yourself and your family.
The Burna Launcher is a great way to do it.
You know, you just refuse to be helpless.
But understand also that using lethal force is a line you never want to cross unless there's absolutely no other choice and you're prepared for it.
Most people say, I carry a gun, but have you gone to the range?
Are you good at it?
Burna is a less lethal self-defense tool.
It fires powerful kinetic and pepper and tear gas projectiles, and it's designed to stop a threat without permanently ending a life.
It gives you distance.
It gives you control.
It gives you an option between shouting and shooting.
And the compact launcher makes it even more practical.
I mean, in today's world, with what we're seeing, we talked earlier about what Tim Walz said.
Tim Walz is now, I mean, this is insane saying that this is either Fort Sumter or John Brown.
Either way, that puts him in either a Confederate role or a violent extremist.
Not good, Tim.
But you're too stupid to figure that one out.
The guy doesn't even know our own history.
Anyway, you want to make sure that you are safe.
Your family is safe.
My kids carry it in a backpack.
My wife has it in her purse.
We have a glove box.
Everybody in my family over 20 has one or over 18 has a Burna launcher.
You can get yours now.
You can even try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse.
Burna Com Cookies for Valentine's Day00:02:10
Find a location near you at burna, B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Glenn.
That's burna.com/slash Glenn.
Likes aren't love.
Retweets aren't showing up.
Real people still matter.
Glenn Beck.
Back in a moment.
You know, another memory, we've gone through all the memories of the shows over the years.
Another memory I have almost every holiday season was a Pat Gray who would come in to the office with incredibly delicious cookies over and over and over again.
And I, in fact, not just me, but everybody around here would be like, why do you keep bringing these to us?
Why don't you sell them nationwide?
That's what you should do.
And we didn't, I don't think it was our idea, you know, like, but it wound up happening.
The truth actually finally came out.
These cookies are now available to you.
They're called Kexie cookies, K-E-K-S-I.
It's a great option for Valentine's Day.
These are gourmet cookies made with high quality ingredients.
They're the best cookies you're ever going to eat.
They are rich.
They are indulgent.
And they are the kind of treat that you don't just inhale in two bites.
That's, I don't think, possible for anyone outside of potentially Jeffy.
They have a hot chocolate cookie.
They have in-house marshmallow cream, a deep layer of chocolate that tastes like someone turned your favorite winter drink into a dessert.
They also have, that's just one flavor.
They've got great flavors in the Valentine's Day box.
That, of course, sold out, and they always tell me after it's sold out.
But if you go to kexie.com, check out the cookies they do have available.
Take the thinking out of Valentine's gifting for this year.
If you grab one of their standard cookie boxes, just use the code STU.
Get 15% off.
You will love these cookies, I promise you.

Use the code STU.
Patriot Supply and Predicting Trillions00:15:44
Don't forget we have a Q&A for Stu's last day.
It's a fourth hour to the program available at GlennBack.com right after this.
We'll be going and doing that.
Jeffy, you're going to stay with us for that?
I can, most certainly.
Have we just forgotten when Stu quit the first time?
No, it's always talked about when you first came to Tampa.
Because that was my favorite memory when Stu wasn't there.
Yeah.
Right?
Right.
You should have never let him crawl back.
You've never let him crawl back.
This is why we started Predictableshow.com so that I could avoid here and never, ever have to see Jeffy again.
That was a big part of my decision here to just get a little more distance if there wasn't enough already.
So thank you, Jeff.
I appreciate that.
By the way, Mangion, they've just decided that he cannot face the death penalty charges in New York.
And he has been now apparently the state charges of New York second-degree murder.
Second-degree murder.
Oh, wow.
How is that second-degree?
I don't know.
The judge dismissed the federal murder and related weapons charge.
And so they can't seek the capital punishment.
Why?
Well, I really, I would love to know.
Is anybody following this?
We'll do our homework here during the break.
I would really like to know, how can you, as a judge, dismiss the weapons charge and the federal murder charge?
This was so premeditated.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
He was waiting for the guy.
That's not first-degree murder.
How?
Sure seems like it to me.
What do we think of the possibility of releasing him and putting him in a rental car with a GPS pre-programmed at Jeffy's house?
Thoughts?
I mean, you can't say no when he shows up.
They all love him now.
They do.
You know what a superstar that guy would be in Minneapolis right now?
Oh, my gosh.
They all love him.
Worshiped as a hero.
I mean, the king of the news.
They worship him as a hero.
Did you see the guy that tried to break him out of prison by showing up and pretending to be an FBI agent?
Yeah, unbelievable.
With the pizza cutter.
It almost worked.
Yeah, not quite.
Not quite.
But he's a stinking hero to these people.
He's an absolute hero to them.
So was the person that Tim Waltz quoted.
Yesterday, so was John Brown.
He was a violent extremist.
Everyone knew that at the time.
Tim Waltz is now holding him up as a hero.
Wow.
He was an insurrectionist.
Tim, learn your history.
Let me tell you about our sponsor is Patriot Mobile.
You probably wouldn't shop at a store if you knew they were using your money to, you know, I don't know, support things you strongly disagree with.
If you knew that they were, you know, running drugs across the border or they were involved in something just totally immoral, would you shop at that store anymore?
Of course you wouldn't.
Of course you wouldn't.
So why are you doing it with some of these big cell phone companies?
I've told you for a while now that Verizon, they contribute to Planned Parenthood.
Well, depending on, I mean, if you just think that's a choice, then you don't have a problem with it.
If you think that that's murder, you're involving yourself.
Every time you pay that bill, you're helping them murder children.
What are you thinking?
This is so easy.
So easy.

The Glenn Beck Program.
Hey, welcome to Friday.
It's the Glenn Beck program.
This is opening weekend for Melania, a new film that is out.
It's getting panned by all the critics, but of course it is.
It looks stunning, looks amazing.
Tanya and I are going to go see it tomorrow.
And I mean, when I see the critics do this, I mean, they have so maligned Melania.
They have been so nasty to her.
It makes me want to buy up every ticket in a theater and just to support this woman.
Can you just leave her alone, please, for the love of Pete?
She's not involved in the politics of anything.
She's so sweet.
She's so smart, so nice.
And look at what they're doing.
And by the way, the most beautiful first lady we have ever had, bar none.
And that includes Jackie Kennedy.
All right, there's a couple of things.
Yesterday there was a cabinet meeting and Besson made a point of dropping in and saying, hey, I just want to give you an update on the economy.
It's worth hearing.
Also, we should talk a little bit about the new Fed chair that is coming in.
And it's Stu's last day on the program.
We have all of this and so much more coming up in just a second.
First, let me tell you about my Patriot supply.
You can't control what happens in the world, but you can control how ready you are when it happens.
When supply chains get stressed or stores get cleared out, people wish they'd been prepared before it was urgent.
And that's why my food preparation has always included my Patriot supply.
My Patriot supply, they take long-term emergency food kits seriously, and they are designed to last for years in storage, so you're not scrambling.
Meals are easy to prepare, built for real-life emergencies.
They're designed to give you calories, variety, and peace of mind when you need it the most.
It's about responsibility, taking care of the people under your own roof who matter.
You know, when it comes down, you are the one responsible for them.
Hope is important, but hope works a lot better when it's backed up by a plan.
So get the best-selling three-month emergency food supply kit for $100 off at my Patriot supply.
They almost never make a deal like this, so take advantage.
Go now to preparewithglenn.com.
Preparewithglenn.com.
The food kit gives you 2,000 calories a day.
Lasts up to 25 years.
Preparewithglenn.com.
Let's say hello to our executive producer.
Oh, it'll be the last hour I say that.
Stu Bergeer.
Welcome, Stu.
Yes.
Hello, Glenn.
Excuse me.
I'm getting, my voice is starting to crack.
This is going to be terrible.
I hope everyone can just tune out now so we don't have to hear any of this.
But thank you, Glenn.
Thanks for having me on for 28 years or so.
Stu is leaving us, and honestly, I was going to talk him out of it.
And then I realized, think of the money I'm saving on that salary.
But actually, I heard what his plan was, and I think this is perfect for Stu.
This is something that I think he was born to do because it goes into what he has always liked.
Stu is a numbers guy, always been.
He's almost like an idiot savant when it comes to stuff like this.
Emphasis on idiot.
And he has always been the best at giving us the look at the poll numbers, et cetera, et cetera.
And he has been fascinated for years with the betting markets because Stu, Pat, Jeffy, do you remember right after 9-11, DARPA came out with this betting market that they were going to do with the five eyes, all the intelligence agencies, right?
And everybody was like, no, that's horrible.
How can you profit off that?
And it's like, no, that's the best way to predict what's coming.
Have people put money on what they think is the most likely scenario.
And of course, DARPA stopped it because political pressure, but it was a brilliant idea.
Stu believes in that approach as well to find out what's coming next.
And he's also, I mean, I paid him so much money, he could just afford to throw it away on the betting markets.
And it turns out he's, you know, he's right when he looks at prediction markets.
So he's starting one and going to be doing a show based on that.
You can find all of the information at predictableshow.com.
It's very predictable show.com.
Go there.
And if you put in your email address, it's free, by the way, and you'll get our first preview of the 2026 Senate Outlook.
That's going to be obviously going to be taking up a lot of our time, I think.
Hopefully, Glenn, I can come back and talk about it.
I mean, if you'd have me, I would love to come back on.
Maybe.
And, you know, occasionally.
I think we're booked that day.
Why are we booked up that day?
Thank you.
You're right.
I was just looking at the calendar, and that day is completely booked.
And so is the next week.
What about, really?
What about the day before, Pat?
No, it's jammed.
That's just a bad week for us.
Sorry.
So that's terrible.
Dang it.
Love, Don't give a power.
Darn it.
I didn't give a specific week.
Dang, dang, darn!
No, but I didn't...
If only we could just squeeze, die, we can't.
Dang it!
No, but we could find...
Die!
Oh, darn.
I wish.
I really do for your sake, especially.
Yeah, because wish.
Oh, darn it.
Oh, no.
We just can't.
It would be really any time.
Booked really that whole month.
Yeah, but any month would be fine.
No, it's really the whole quarter of the whole year.
Really, it really.
Yeah, and then the quarter after that is even worse.
You should probably swear.
That's a good point, Jeff.
That's a good point.
It is predictable.
Yeah.
Predictableshow.com.
Go sign up.
And we will be, I will make sure to hit up Calci and Polymarket to put anti-Glenn Beck markets all over that thing.
I will be predicting him.
We're predicting his weight.
I will hit them up to post markets like crazy.
Just a microphone.
Turn his microphone off.
All right.
Also, one other reminder.
This is the last weekend that's free for Glennbeck.com and Torch.
If you would like to become a member of Torch, all you have to do is go to Glennbeck.com.
This is the last weekend.
Next week, I'll be telling you more about it, but I'm going to make it inflation-proof.
I am never going to raise your price.
You know, we set the price at $9.99 for Blaze years and years ago.
With inflation, that actually is like $6 because they never raised their price.
And so now it's like $6 instead of $9.99.
So, you know, the way things are going, this thing will be worth like a dime.
I'll be out of business in no time.
But inflation proof, if you join the first month, and it starts on Monday, first month, you'll not only get something special I'll talk to you about, you know, on Monday, but also you are going to be inflation proof for the rest of your life.
And this is one of the reasons why I'm ditching this place, Glenn's business sense.
A man who tells you every day that they're printing trillions and trillions of dollars.
We all know the inflation is coming right around the corner.
And he gets all this great content, which is going up on Torch that is awesome.
I mean, you're doing a great job with us.
And outside of my thing, I would love for you to sign up for my thing, but you should totally sign up for Torch because you're going to get so much great stuff.
And this is your last chance to get it here over the next couple of days for free.
So check it out before you do.
But I mean, you're going to make this.
I don't need your mercy.
I don't need your mercy.
You're going to make this.
I mean, the first month, what I heard, everyone gets a free car.
Sign up for the first month.
Shut all their microphones off now, Sarah.
Would you please?
Open up Jason's mic.
Jason, who is doing the Insider broadcast?
You just played something from Besant.
There was a cabinet meeting yesterday.
Can you play this again?
This is, you know, the economy could go one of two ways.
Listen to what Besant said yesterday in the cabinet meeting.
AIPA power you used on the tariffs.
As you said, we're bringing in tens of trillions of investments.
The tens of trillions of investments turns into factories construction, which turns into factory jobs, which turns into consumer spending.
You've right-sized the government.
So government employment is down.
Private sector is up.
Growth was a stunning 4.7, 4.8% in the past two quarters.
Biggest back-to-back gains in a decade.
And we are doing that with government finances improving.
So that will bring down the borrowing costs, the calendar year budget for 2024, 7% deficit to GDP, highest when we weren't at war, not in a recession, all the way down to 5.4% and getting better.
Biggest decline since 2014.
Generational gains in productivity, soaring productivity.
We're going to lift workers pay record high prices, record high profits, and stock prices are soaring.
You've got a manufacturing renaissance, and all the key inflation metrics are trending lower.
Over the past three months, the consumer price index is just 2.1, and core prices are even lower at 1.6.
And I think that that could trend below one, given energy, as you talked about, the pharmaceutical discounts, and rents.
So we're expecting a great year in 2026, Mr. President.
I have to tell you, either this president is absolutely right, or, I mean, because he's changing the economic systems or the belief in the old way of doing things.
And we haven't seen inflation.
Now, his latest is, Jason, what do you know about Kevin Worsh, the new nominee for Fed of the Fed?
Kevin Worsh is a very, very safe pick.
If you want to get somebody in there and not have to worry about him getting denied in a confirmation, I think that everyone would be willing to vote for him.
So he's been on the board of governors before.
We know that he has said in the past that he is looking for there needs to be total regime change within the Fed now.
Congress Subpoena and Turley00:11:01
So he's on board with the president there.
He's now in line with lowering interest rates.
So it's pretty much everything the president wants to happen.
And he's also a safe pick to actually be able to go through the process and get in.
So that is a really interesting thing because if he lowers the interest rates, conventional wisdom would say inflation is going to climb higher.
But everything that the president has done so far in the first year, everyone has said inflation is going to go out of control.
And he has actually reduced inflation.
It's just over 2% inflation, which is the target of the Fed.
I don't know how this is happening.
I mean, he told me a year ago, he said, Glenn, I'm going to convince you that I'm going to make you a tariff guy.
And I said, I don't know.
I'm to the point now where I mean, I think it's actually kind of working, at least for sure on the negotiation and world stage.
It's not necessarily the most fun, but he's getting so much done on the world stage with the tariffs.
And I got to tell you, he might be changing my mind on a lot of things, but only time will tell.
Thank you, Jason.
You bet.
So I don't know if you guys saw the latest on the Donro doctrine, the stuff that is coming out of this hemisphere now.
This was announced yesterday.
First of all, Venezuela said their oil industry is going to go back to private.
They're going to privatize the oil industry, which is the best thing that could happen for Venezuela.
Panama has voided the China contract, which was one of the first things that the president said he wanted to happen.
So they've kicked China out of the Panama Canal entirely.
That's a really big deal.
And then yesterday he put sanctions, new sanctions on Cuba.
He's going to try to collapse Cuba.
I mean, wow.
That's a lot.
There's a lot going on.
They're also saying that they just released 3 million pages of Epstein files.
And 2,000 videos.
No word how many Jeffy's in.
Oh, I tell you.
2,000.
I mean, oh, no, he's on every page.
Or he's behind the camera.
One of the two.
So what are they saying these are of?
This is supposed to be, I think, everything.
Now, that doesn't mean we're going to.
I don't know if it's all going to be redacted.
I mean, 3 million pages with 2,999,999 redacted isn't going to help us.
So I don't know.
They haven't really specified that yet.
You have to believe the overwhelming majority is just boring nothing, right?
Like, it's going to be 3 million in interesting documents.
I'm sure a lot of it is just investigation throwaways.
I just had a conversation with Jonathan Turley, and it airs next week on Torch.
We spoke about an hour on insurrection and everything, but I asked him about the Clinton subpoena and how they're rejecting it and what Congress should do.
I'd like to get your opinion on, guys, what you think should be done with that.
And then I'm going to tell you what he said.
I mean, it was pretty stunning.
We'll do that in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

10 seconds station 90 okay so the clintons bill and hillary both have been subpoenaed by congress to testify uh on capitol hill about epstein And it's really, I think it's a fishing expedition.
They don't have anything hardcore.
They just want to ask them questions.
So Bill and Hillary said, nope, we're not going to do it.
Now, this is a subpoena from Congress.
This has never been done before by a president and former first lady or Secretary of State.
But the last time it did happen, two people went to jail, went to prison for it.
I thought that the Congress would back off because it would just be the Republicans doing it and the Clintons would just use it for propaganda purposes.
See, they're just trying to get even with us.
But actually, Democrats said, no, you got to show up for this subpoena.
I was talking to Jonathan Turley about it.
What do you think should happen on that?
Should they go after and arrest them and put them in prison for this or not?
Stu?
Hmm.
Should they put him in prison?
You know, obviously there's a lot more to it than just that SNAP decision, but it does seem like there's something there, no?
You don't agree?
I'm just asking.
I mean, I'm just asking.
No, I'll give you my opinion here in a second.
Yeah, I mean, don't they, if nobody's above the law, you got to hold them in contempt of Congress.
I don't know if they go immediately to prison, but they got to be held in the process.
Do I want to see them perp walked, handcuffed?
Oh, be all.
Oh, my gosh.
Yes.
But that's not going to happen.
Not going to happen.
My feeling has been this is going to be nothing but used as propaganda to set the country even more on fire.
Yada, yada, yada.
I'm talking to Turley, and this interview comes out next week.
I'm talking to Turley, and I ask him about it, and he's like, oh, they have to be arrested.
I'm like, what?
He's like, no, there's no question.
Constitutionally, he's like, this is the most blatant violation of a subpoena I've ever seen.
Wow.
He said, and they did it intentionally because he believes they just think they're above the law, that nobody's going to come after them.
And he said, they have to.
Yeah.
He said, if they don't go after them, if they don't put them in jail or at least arrest them for this and then go to trial, if they don't, he's like, there is no, there's no law.
There's no law.
These guys are way above the law.
I mean, I thought that was, he's pretty, you know, he's pretty solid, but he's also pretty temperate.
Yeah.
He's not going to just a wild tweeter.
You know, he's not just some guy saying things for shock value.
That's, that's meaningful coming from him.
Yeah.
Well, maybe they just asked him, maybe they asked him nicely again.
Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
Come on, please.
Death said pretty, please with sugar on it.
Yeah, I don't think that first appeal said that.
Can you imagine, though, how satisfying it would be for those guys to finally go to jail?
Oh, my gosh.
Really?
I mean, think of all of the things that they have gotten away with.
Yeah.
What's the echo of this, though, Glenn?
Like, what does this look like?
Like, let's say they do arrest them.
What is when the Democrats are in office next time?
What's the world look like?
Well, because of the way the Democrats are playing all of this, I think even if they don't arrest them in 2028, if the Democrats have control of everything, even 2026, if they win this next election, they have control of the House and the Senate.
We're all in trouble because they will go out.
I mean, they are already talking about treason for people.
They're talking about executions for people.
I mean, legitimate people are talking about you're going to be held as a collaborator.
So they're dead serious.
They will purge.
These are Marxist revolutionaries you're dealing with.
And purges always come with Marxist revolutionaries.
I personally do not think that this is revenge.
I think this is justice.
The way I see it, it is justice.
These guys have gotten away with crimes for a very long time.
And that's one of the reasons why I was not for arresting them on this because, you know, until I talked to Turley, I didn't think that I thought this was kind of like a trap that they were setting for them.
And I don't want to see anybody set up for a trap.
I want them to legitimately go to jail for legitimate crimes.
And that's the only way we get out.
But I will tell you, when the Democrats win, there's going to be a very high price to pay.
They will purge.
All right.
More in a minute.
There are women right now facing pregnancies that they feel completely unprepared for.
They are scared.
They are unalone.
They are convinced they have no good options.
Really, no one in their life is telling them it's a baby.
It's a baby.
They're saying, get rid of it.
Get rid of it.
Pre-born is stepping into that moment with those moms with compassion and real help.
And through the work with their network of clinics, they provide free ultrasounds.
They also have care counseling.
They support moms who need it for up to two years after the baby is born.
Here's what they've seen again and again.
When a mom sees her baby on an ultrasound, everything changes.
Often she chooses life, but she's still like, I can't make it by myself.
This is not about arguments.
It's about love and support, giving both mom and a baby a chance at a future.
Pre-born is celebrating 20 years of saving babies, and there's a moment right now where you can save countless lives for years to come.
An ultrasound machine doesn't just show a picture, it introduces a mom to her child, and many clinics don't have one, nor can they afford one.
Ultrasounds Change Everything00:11:19
They're about $15,000 a piece.
If you can get one, that'd be great if you can just chip in on anything you can give.
It's tax-deductible, donate pound 250.
Say the keyword baby, pound 250, baby.
With my last 10-second tease, let me tell you to go to predictableshow.com, give us your email.
It's free.
You get a 2026 Senate preview.
What?
Hold it.
wait coming up in uh just a few minutes after the radio broadcast we're going online at glennbeck.com uh and uh everywhere else and And you'll be able to watch a QA for Stu's last day.
Today is Stu's last broadcast with me.
He's been with me since 1997.
And it's been a remarkable run.
And I know very little about Stu, honestly, because he's a lot like Spock.
He doesn't share emotions.
We were joking in studio earlier today that if he died, we all probably wouldn't know for maybe two years after he's dead.
Well, I definitely wouldn't be able to tell you after I was dead.
He does not open up emotionally.
So this is going to be fun to watch because he asked for some time.
He said he wanted to, Glenn, can I have just a few minutes just to talk to the audience?
And I said, sure.
So go ahead, Stu.
We're listening.
Thank you, Glenn.
I appreciate that.
I will say, despite you, this has been a great time working on this particular program.
28 years.
It has been my entire professional career.
Oh, this is going to suck.
Sorry about all this, people.
But I really can't picture adult life without doing the show.
I have no experience as an adult not doing the show.
And it's weird to think about it that way.
My wife is standing in the corner, and Glenn outranks her when it comes to time that I've even known him, which is a scary thing to think about.
When I first met Glenn, I was hanging up balloons.
That was my job.
Balloons.
And, you know, Glenn, and I'm not talking to Glenn.
I want to make sure this is clear.
I'm talking to the audience.
Not even thinking about Glenn right now, but I am telling you a story, which is Glenn, you know, took me from hanging balloons and gave me an entire career.
He taught me everything I know, and he had nothing to gain from it at all.
Well, I did get him a lot of bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches, but outside of that, he had nothing to gain from it.
I had no experience in this industry at all.
And he was the biggest personality in the entire state.
He had no reason to help me with this stuff.
He took me from promotions to an intern to a producer to an executive producer to a co-host, from a smaller market to a larger market to a national show to national television to one of the first ever streaming networks, from an event at a car dealership with literally zero attendees to the mall in Washington, D.C. with 500,000.
You know, you might not know this, but Glenn has been incredibly generous the entire time we've worked together.
And he was equally generous as we try to figure out whether we were going to continue to do the show.
And in the end, I feel like he really needs someone who's 100% devoted to the really cool things he's doing on Torch.
It's an amazing project, and he's got amazing people working on it.
There's a great staff here.
And, you know, I'm going to go do my thing, predictableshow.com.
So please join us, but please join at Glennbeck.com too.
There's a lot you're going to be excited about coming up.
But I just want you, the audience, to know that I am endlessly grateful to Glenn for everything he's done for my career, for my family, and for me.
He is a great friend.
And my decision to go work with a washed up DJ whose career was just over all those years ago will always be the best decision of my entire professional life.
And I will acknowledge that there are a few people out there, I've noticed this occasionally, who don't appreciate Glenn quite the same way that I do.
You may have noticed a mildly negative statement made about him in the media from time to time, from politicians, from other commentators.
And I will say, while Glenn has been very successful and has been rewarded with many, many accolades he does not deserve, I want you in the audience to know the truth that he has sacrificed an incredible amount that he will never tell you about.
He's done all of this because he has a true desire to make this country a better place.
This is earnest.
Many people have made fun of him over the years because of it.
But Glenn is really, truly a man who believes in the American people and this country.
You might doubt this.
You might think that I'm lying.
You might think that this is just something I'm saying because he gave me a really cool watch.
But if you doubt it, I want you to be aware that you are wrong and you are dumb and shut up.
I want to swear at you, but I will not.
I will not blow a no-swear streak on the last day I'm on the air, I promise you, stations.
I also, I want to just say that that's my friend you're talking about when you say those things about him.
And it's not cool.
And he's taken a beating for a long time and he's pushed through it and he's survived a lot of things that you'll never know about and he will never tell you about.
But I hope as we go on here, and I'm no longer on the show, that you really do appreciate it.
I hope you appreciate everything he's done.
On the other side of this, I want to thank you, the audience of the show.
You are the greatest audience that has ever been assembled.
Whenever we have an event and you're here and we get together in person, a lot of you say something like, you know, I feel like I know you guys.
You know, it's so weird because, you know, you guys are all talking.
We know you.
And then on the other side of this, like, you don't know me at all.
And it is a weird dynamic.
It really is a strange thing.
Some of that's true.
I mean, most of you that will never meet, most of you will never call.
Most of you will never send a message on social media or anything like that.
You'll hear our voice, and it kind of feels like a one-way relationship.
But I want to give you a little bit of perspective from my side after 28 years.
The truth of all of this is that you mean way more to us than we mean to you.
I mean, if we're extraordinarily lucky, maybe we say something that makes you laugh, or maybe we say something that helps you with a little ammunition and an argument with one of your stupid friends.
You know, maybe you get a little perspective from us from, you know, once in a while.
But you might not know this, but you've changed my life completely.
You've changed my family's life.
Every time I've interacted with you almost without fail, you've been kind and smart and funny and willing to do anything for this country to make it a better place for everyone, including my children.
You know, think about this sometimes.
They're going to be around living in this country that you're spending all this time and effort trying to save.
And it means an incredible amount to me.
And it's also not an exaggeration that you have literally saved tens of thousands of lives.
And think about that.
That sounds like such a ridiculous thing to say about a radio audience.
You have saved tens of thousands of lives.
People in Afghanistan running from the Taliban.
People who had their lives completely destroyed because of a hurricane or a tornado.
A woman in Canada who was on the verge of willingly committing suicide.
We told you that story and you stuffed up and you saved her life.
You've done it every single time we've asked.
It's incredible.
All I can say honestly to the entire audience is thank you.
Thank you for putting up with me for 28 years.
Thank you for laughing when I make fun of Glenn.
And thank you for caring so much about the people and the country around you.
Thank you so much.
I honestly mean it.
and i love you um i want to get the last word in um here Because I feel exactly the same way about Stu, and we have been joking an awful lot today.
And both of us, this, I've never seen Stu like this before.
He hides this.
No, he hides this a great deal, and I'm the exact opposite of it.
But here's what I would like to leave you with today, because this is all deeply personal to us and probably not so personal to you.
What Really Matters When You Age00:04:20
But it is, you know, as I get older, everything I once thought that was really, really important begins to fade.
And I want to leave you with something that you can take from this show.
In my 20s, I really believed that fame and fortune was the point.
Making a name for myself was the point.
It was the mission.
And in my 20s and in my teens, I put that above absolutely everything else, and I leased happiness, or what I thought happiness was, until the leases expired, and I was left with nothing except wasted time and wrong answers.
Because of the men sitting in this room, Jeffy, Stu, Pat, I know what matters.
Family, real friends.
How much you can share with somebody.
How hard you try to uplift others.
And how many you can encourage while you can.
My dad used to say, if you're lucky, son, you will have one or two really good friends in your life who will stay through the good times and the bad and will be there for all of it.
It's taken me a lifetime to have these friends.
You don't earn these friends.
They just appear.
And I have been blessed in the second phase of my life to have friends I don't deserve, but I do cherish.
For those of you who are younger, who really don't know what life is all about yet, this is what life is all about.
Good people you travel with.
Good people you share when you have nothing.
Good people who lift you when you just don't think you can stand it another day.
That encourage you to keep going.
to ignore the stones that are being thrown your way, and to follow what you believe you hear from God to do, even when the friends can't see it themselves.
If I had my life to do all over again, if I just had the last 30 years to do all over again, it wouldn't change much because even the scars made me who I am.
But there would be one thing that I would change, and I want to leave you with this.
I would have been more like my friends.
I would have said thank you more sincerely.
I would have listened more carefully, and I would have encouraged more thoroughly.
And I probably would have fired Stu preemptively.
That's a different story.
Back in just a second.
Willpower Can't Fix Bad Sleep00:14:44
Let me tell you about Z Factor.
You can push through a lot in life on sheer willpower.
You can get through all of the deadlines, all of the stress, all the long dragging days, but there is one thing willpower is terrible at fixing, and that's bad sleep.
If you're tossing and turning or waking up feeling like you never really shut down for the night, everything the next day feels harder than it should.
Your focus is off, your patience is thinner, your small problems feel bigger than they are.
It's because you need sleep.
Z Factor is a sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor designed to help your body relax at night so you can fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
Better sleep doesn't just mean feeling less tired.
It means thinking more clearly, handling stress more calmly, and actually having energy left for the family at the end of the day.
When you rest like you're supposed to, the rest of your day starts to feel a lot more manageable.
Right now, save 46% on your first order.
It's $19.95 for a 30-day supply.
It's Relief Factor at 1-800-4 Relief, 1-800, the number 4 relief.
It's relieffactor.com.
Once you recognize a psychiatrist for psychological operation, everything changes.
Stay informed, citizens.
At Glennbeck.com.
Well, another one down and a lifetime to go.
We have a fourth hour today.
If you're listening at Glennbeck.com, just keep listening.
A fourth hour Q ⁇ A for Stu's last day.
We're all going to be taking your phone calls and talking to you and answering your questions, you know, whatever, all at glennbeck.com.
Also at youtube.com slash Stu DoesAmerica.
And don't forget, you can find Stu at predictableshow.com, predictableshow.com.
We will see you in the fourth hour and on Monday.
Glenn Beck is on.
Stu and I have been talking about my career and his career for at least two years.
And Stu has, for a long time, wanted to, you know, do his own thing.
And I appreciate that.
And I appreciate all of the many, many years.
I'm looking at your resume here.
Then you went to the Glenn Beck program where you were the co-host, EP, executive producer.
Say hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stubergeer.
Hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stuberge.
Glenn, how are you this morning?
Oh, I'm good.
I'm good.
Let me say hello to our executive producer.
That is Stubergier.
Hello, Stu.
How are you?
Glenn, how are you?
I mean, Stu was there for the very first talk show I ever did.
How old were you when we met?
I was, let's see, 20?
20 years old.
Yeah.
And what was your impression of me?
Because you got to me at the end of my radio career or my, you know, top 40 radio career.
I mean, I grew up in Connecticut, so I knew you from your morning show at Casey 101, which is, you know, music station, the big station in my hometown, basically.
And I knew, you know, Glenn and Pat in the morning.
And this is an important lesson, I think, for people coming up, not only in broadcasting, but any industry, is find someone who's very talented, but at the very valley of their career, like the worst possible time.
Because those people usually have good lessons, are talented, but also you can kind of glom onto them when they're at their lowest.
And then you can convince them you were part of their success later on.
Hello, Stu.
How are you, Glenn?
I am.
Hello, Stu.
How are you?
That's a great question, Glenn.
No idea.
That's my new position on that question.
I really freaking idea.
I've never worked with anybody more honest, more decent, and more loyal than you.
And you have changed my life, and I truly thank you for that, you quitter.
Welcome back, Glenn Beck Insiders.
This is the Insider feed.
This is also, I guess, the Stu Lovers feed.
We are live on multiple different platforms here, and we are here to take questions directly from you.
I don't even know how I even speak right now after everything that happened at the end of that broadcast.
I'm looking through all of your comments right now, and it looks like you are like everybody else in our control room right now.
Not a single dry eye from any of you.
I don't think I've ever seen emotion like that come from Stu ever, except when the Eagles lose a playoff game, which was actually really cool to see.
It just happened recently.
Did the Cowboys lose their game?
Shut up, Stu.
I'm directing this Q ⁇ A session.
I answer the questions.
There was another, I'm just going to jump right into the comments.
I'm going to let you guys direct this.
And I think that this, there was another candidate for comment of the day.
And I think this is the question that all the users want to know about.
You know, screw this little project that you're doing, Stu.
Ryan, with one of the comments of the day, said, will Stu return now to being called Steve?
Oh, amazing question.
That is an amazing question.
Sure.
Wow, my wife is here.
Do you want to comment on this there, Lisa?
Do you want to call me Steve from now on?
You're not Steve.
It's my name.
You're not Steve.
And it was my dad's name.
Your mother is wrong.
He hasn't been Steve.
His wife calls him Stu.
That's how much I have wrecked his life.
And I'm so happy.
Yeah, no, I don't think so.
I think at this point, I'm known as Stu.
And I've accepted my fate.
I'm not going to say that because I did trademark the name.
I'll be getting like cease and desists of the day of the first show.
No, just Bills.
Just Bills.
Okay, good.
Thank you very much.
Yes.
So, yeah, I think I'm going to stick with the Stu thing, at least on the air.
But my mom still calls me Steven.
And that makes me feel good.
I have some relatives who still do.
That's mommy.
Mommy still calls me Steven.
I think this is exactly what the people want as well.
That's what it seems like.
I'm going to skip to Alicia 1144.
She said that we love you, Stu.
I've signed up for your new project.
She's curious if you're still going to come on the Glenn Beck program radio show from time to time.
And also, you are still being, I think they were confused if you're still going to do Stu Does America on Plays TV.
So both those two.
Okay.
Well, let me take the second one first.
Yeah, I'm going to be doing Studos America, a new episode on Monday.
So I will be here in the building unplugging wires so Glenn goes off the air in the middle of his monologues, whatever I can do to help the show.
But yeah, I will be here doing the show of Studos America.
We actually have some cool stuff around the corner planned for Studos America if it all comes together.
Not quite there yet, but we should have some stuff to tell you about there in the pretty near future.
And then, will I come on the Glen Beck radio program?
The shows are all booked up.
Yeah, I know.
First of all, it's all booked up for the next year.
Even though Pat, who's not on the show every day, knew the schedule.
He's got the calendar.
Yeah, I got the calendar right in front of me.
Glenn sent it to me yesterday, and I think he forgot that he said, but it's right here.
No, I remember I sent it to my new executive producer, Pat Gray.
No, I am.
Executive producer, vice president.
Oh, nice.
It's up to Glenn.
I mean, you know, I would love to come back on.
Glenn has told me he'd like to have me back on.
I hope he continues that after he shuts my show down for copyright violation.
Yeah, he'd love to.
There's just no room.
That's the problem.
The laptop's still closing.
You know what?
You have a lot in common with baby Jesus.
There was no room for him either.
Oh, it's the nicest thing you've ever said to me, actually.
That's the only thing you have in common with the baby Jesus.
Can we make one thing clear here that on the last program, after 28 years, I blubbered like a fool on the air and Glenn just made a bunch of jokes and was out in five minutes.
I mean, what happened there?
I can't even.
Because I knew because this week.
I mean, I had a really hard time holding it together this week.
This whole week again.
I mean, I wrote to Sarah every day this week, and I'm like, I don't know how to do this.
Help me, help me, help me.
And so I decided that because I know that you are not an emotional person and you don't like it to get emotional, so I decided just to go.
I became you.
I did your job.
I just slammed you every moment I could to keep us both from crying.
I will say, when I finally ended that thing and you looked at that microphone and I'm like, he's going to absolutely drop a bomb on me right now, isn't he?
I thought you were just going to go totally the opposite direction and just slam me.
I'm glad you at least said a few nice things there before the firing reference at the end.
That was encouraging.
I mean, you had to.
I would have been disappointed.
I would have to say something hardfelt, but I had to drop the bomb.
And that was the only sincere part of that that I actually really deeply meant.
I want to go back to the comments section here.
This one's coming from Christopher.
A lot of people, I think, were tuning in after you actually mentioned the website.
And this is coming from Christopher.
He just said he just got on, and he wanted to know what the website was and the best way that he can tune into your next project.
People just going on asking for this.
Yes, just be quiet, Jeffy.
I have to actually, I have a job that I'm supposed to have here in a very short period of time.
Yeah, predictableshow.com.
It's a show about prediction markets and the news that wraps around them, right?
I'm going to be talking about a lot of the same things that we talk about on the radio show every day.
Slightly different perspective, though, looking at them through the lens of whatever Calchy Polymarket, these big prediction markets.
There are opportunities, I think, for us to drill down and get a lot more truth than we get from the media and opportunities to maybe profit a little bit off of this.
Jeffy's run many successful businesses, trust me.
A lot of unsuccessful businesses.
I mean, I think this, I mean, don't get used to that website, predictableshow.com, because I think it's going to be predictable show.cayman.
Okay.
That's actually a very good point.
That jumps right to, and this is a question for Glenn.
User Stephen3867 said, My question is for Glenn.
Are you, Glenn, are going to bail Stu out of debt over this gambling thing?
It's not a gambling thing.
No, you got to let him fail.
You've got to let him fail.
A little dirty sleft and asked.
You got to let him fail.
You fly or you fall to the ground.
I've been putting on weight, and I am now too big to fail.
So please continue to.
But no, the show, by the way, is predictable show.com is you can go there and get sign up.
We'll give you all the updates.
But youtube.com slash Studos America is eventually where the show is going to live.
So if you're here and you want to watch the show on a day-to-day basis, go over to YouTube.
There's a bunch of other distribution stuff that we're going to be announcing.
But as of right now, go to youtube.com slash studosamerica.
You'll get the show that we're doing now for, you know, for a while.
And there's, you know, get the predictable show after that.
So I would appreciate it if you're on YouTube right now watching, hop on over.
Do a little subscription thing.
Can I ask you a question?
I'm sorry, I was listening to you.
I really was.
Sure.
But I just saw up at Fox News, Trump signs an executive order launching an IndyCar race in D.C.
I mean, this guy is amazing.
Does that mean it's going to be like what is the race in France?
Lamont.
Where they're racing them in the streets?
Laman.
Or like F1.
Yeah.
I mean, is that F1 does it?
Is that going to be the streets?
Yeah.
No, yeah.
No, no, no.
But they do it on the Index, don't they?
Yeah.
And they do it in laps.
I mean, they do it on tracks.
I'm asking, is this going to be in D.C.?
Well, yeah.
I mean, they have the races in the cities where they set it up.
Yeah, it would be Vegas as that.
In D.C., it would be a 14-mile an hour top speed with bullets flying through the windows.
But it would be a great thing.
It'd be a great race, Stu.
Oh, yeah.
That's the safest city.
Wait a minute.
We've got a congressman.
We've got a yellow flag.
A congressman is crossing the streets.
Will all the drivers see the yellow flag?
Oh, they're all accelerating.
I would watch that.
I want to jump out of the comments really quick and just let everyone know that you can also call in.
If you haven't called in, the lines are filling up very fast.
But I want to jump right now to Christopher from Florida, line 11.
Christopher, how are you doing?
Hey, guys, what a great show.
What a great way to end.
I'm just going to tell you a hysterical story that happened.
Around 15 years ago, you guys used to do this bit called Moron Trivia.
It was pure gold.
So at the time.
Matt, you still do it, don't you?
We stopped about a year ago.
Yeah.
Because you can't do it anymore.
Yeah, you just can't do it anymore.
Nobody answers their phone.
It's too bad.
Because it was the funniest thing ever.
That was great.
You know, at the time, I had a security job guarding ballerinas, and I was standing in the theater during the rehearsal as these girls were dancing.
And I had my earphones and I'm listening to your show.
And you guys had a waitress on from Baltimore on the phone.
And the question that she was going to be asked was about an art museum in Paris.
And Glenn asks her, where's the Louvre?
And she answered, it's in the drawer in the nightstand.
Yeah, that's right.
I remember them, man.
Oh, priceless.
That's funny.
Christopher, thank you.
Thanks, Chris.
I want to head over now to Alec.
Alec, line four.
Good morning.
Hey, Alec.
Glenn, longtime listener.
Love the show.
Thanks for telling the truth and letting us decide what we believe and make out of it.
Listener Stories from California00:08:51
Thank you.
Beyond that, Stu, you're going to be missed.
You're hilarious, man.
You're one of the biggest reasons I tune into the show because you're so witty and funny with me.
Hang up on this, Alec.
Hang up on me.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Again, thank you, Show.
Longtime listener.
I'm going to leave politics out for today.
Today's fun.
And uh, good luck in all your endeavors.
We hope to hear from you again soon.
Thanks, thank you, man.
I really appreciate that.
Thank you for calling in.
Oh, look, I just got a text asking me, Stu, what are you doing next?
Oh, thank you.
You know, thanks, thanks, thanks for that, Jeffy.
I actually have a comment directed directly at you.
This comes from Mark Spox.
He said, Now, if I could only miss Jeffy as well.
Oh, gosh.
That would be really hard to do.
It's possible, I guess.
I don't know.
You can't miss somebody when they won't go away.
That's the problem.
I know.
Amen.
I want to take Terry in Arizona.
I think this one is good.
Go ahead, Terry.
Hey, guys.
Enough of the waterworks.
You're making Tim Morse look like Rambo.
So pathetic.
This is a call for every one of you guys to kind of perk me up on this day.
Stu.
Yes.
You are leaving at the worst time.
Stu have listened to Pat's show over the last couple weeks.
Pat and Jeffrey have one foot in the grave and another on a banana pitch.
I'm talking a GoFundMe to have a TMC guy on the show.
Thank you.
Please do.
Yeah, that would be helpful.
We need it.
It's a good idea.
You know what?
It's a good idea.
Terry, I tune in.
I listen to these guys every morning when I'm getting ready for my show.
And I've listened to this morning.
I hear Pat say something, and I hate to say, Pat, how relatable it was.
I know, I'm sure.
He said, I heard this how old I'm getting.
I hurt myself sleeping last night.
And I did.
I literally did.
I wake up.
I get out of bed.
I was fine last night.
I get out of bed this morning.
I can't walk.
I know.
It's so horrible.
Hurts so bad.
I'm limping around trying to get my clothes on and come into work.
I will say people around like this.
So they were, you hurt your knee while sleeping.
While sleeping.
This is one of the things I will say, one of the most interesting things about doing this show with these gentlemen over all these years is getting a preview about how bad my health is going to be.
Like I have a few-year window of realizing what's going to break inside of me.
And it's all happening.
It's all happening right on time, right on time.
Change.
I'm telling you, Scrooge, change.
You can still change your ways.
We were in our early and mid-20s when we first got together in Baltimore.
Yeah.
Glenn and I.
And look what's happened since we've fallen completely apart.
Yeah.
So yes, I saw some of those videos today that, you know, with the stew montage.
Who the hell was that?
I know.
I mean, I looked like I was 10.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Some of the clubs that they were posting the old shows, it sounds so different.
I mean, it's just been such a weird, long, long road.
I was thinking, too, about Pat.
The first time I ever met Pat was we were doing Glenn.
I don't know.
Maybe you remember it was an anniversary show for your morning show in New Haven.
And I had left by then and came back for it.
You came back to like, hey, you know, Pat's back in town.
Yeah.
And I remember doing their show.
We had a big audience there.
It was like a really cool thing.
And actually, it was really early in my career.
And Pat actually, because I think I always credit Pat for this of like saying something really complimentary to Glenn about me that day.
And like, it was a, it made a huge difference to me.
Really?
Did it really?
It did.
You like, you know, you're like, well, you mean a huge difference in your life or I looked at you differently?
I don't know.
I mean, I was still in that period.
Like, who knew if I was ever going to turn, you know, I was maybe, I don't have been six months.
I remember that too, because I was so impressed with you.
You remember that time.
You said that.
I had to say something.
I know.
I had to ask you.
I had to say something.
You were responsible.
But I always felt like that gave me a little bit of like, I mean, you know, Glenn was always very helpful.
But like, you know, to have like someone else who's a big star, like Pat Gray, say something like that, I think, you know, helped my helped my credibility a little bit.
So thank you, Pat.
And Jeffy, the one story I wanted to tell, oh, I don't have any good stories at all.
Sorry, Jeffy.
That's okay.
No problem.
I just want to remind everyone right now, no matter what platform you're watching on, get into the comments.
You are directing this Q ⁇ A session.
You are communicating directly to them.
Let me know what you want to know about.
Also, call in.
The number to call in is 188-727-BECK.
My goal is to get to every single one of these calls.
So call in, and I will try to get you on immediately.
So the next comment I want to read is from Kara57111 because she talked about, she was talking about her favorite moments listening to you guys on the radio.
She mentions moron trivia and a couple of others.
It reminded me of my favorite one by far was when you guys were talking to, was it Gadon, the Al-Qaeda spokesman?
That was my God.
Absolutely.
Oh, Darn the American.
Bring your sailors.
Spies.
Culture space.
Hairdressers.
Interior decorators.
So on and so forth.
From F1 Expand to Zanzibar.
Our wives absolutely hate it when we talk like this.
They just get so skeeved out.
They're like, stop talking like that.
Please, please.
We're like, what?
You don't find this terribly sexy.
We lost him, though.
We did lose him.
Yeah, we did lose him, darling.
Kara was like, we know what our favorites are.
She wanted to know from each one of you, what are your favorite or most memorable moments together?
Oh, my God.
Oh, wow.
I'd have to think about that.
That would be a tough one to think about.
We've gone through so many.
You know, something I thought about, something I thought about every, really all day today was at Fox in the morning in my office as the sun's coming up, getting counsel from these men and then getting on our knees and praying every day.
That's one of my favorite memories.
As a behind the scenes.
And Stu was never in the middle.
First of all, Stu was never in it.
It's not true.
If I remember correctly, I know it was there because I remember Jeffy particularly catching on fire.
He was spontaneously combusted every morning about that time, you know.
You guys get down on your knees and start praying a lot.
Put him up.
Put him out.
Not with the holy water.
That's a totally normal corporate structure, by the way.
Most people are used to that.
You go in, you get into the first meeting of the day, and you say a prayer.
I although maybe the country would be in a better place if people actually did do that, I will say.
So, yeah.
Actually, the thing I think about most, like as a favorite moment, is about to happen when I walk out that door.
Because when you guys are all just left behind for eternity, that's kind of the day I've been thinking about as a favorite.
Well, that's beautiful.
Thank you.
That's nice.
That's really nice.
Thank you, Stu.
I want to head back over to some of the callers.
Specifically, I'm calling this one because this one hits my heartstrings.
But Kelly from California.
Kelly, how you doing?
Oh, thank you so much for taking my call.
I have been listening to you guys since 2008 when my son left the Marine Corps and came back safely.
You have made me laugh and cry, and I prayed for you, all of you.
And I thank you so much.
I'm looking forward to hearing about what you guys are doing next.
And I just, I'm in California.
We're moving to Idaho.
My kids are up there.
Yeah.
We're going to Idaho.
Where?
We're packing up right now.
We're moving to Emmett.
Oh.
Where is Emmett, Pat?
North of Meridian.
It's a very nice Meridian.
It's north of the Middle East, and it is north of Meridian.
Everyone knows the music.
That's the song.
Yeah, that's just southeast, about 20 miles from Milad, right?
It's right there on the handle.
Well, thank you very much.
My kids moved up there.
They are very happy and love it.
And they are born and bred here in California, and we're moving.
And they had my grandkids.
And God, listen, God gave us a house next door with matching pastures.
Moving to Emmett00:15:51
Wow.
That's nice.
Wow, that's nice.
We're packing up and heading north.
But thank you so much.
And I'm looking forward to continuing on and listening.
And just, I've never called before.
I've been with you since Victor, okay?
Oh, yeah.
That's a sad memory.
You know, and so, you know, thank you so much.
God bless you on your journeys.
God bless you, Kelly.
And it'll be nice to have you as a neighbor up in Idaho.
I'm up there, you know, about four months out of the year, and it's a great place.
The people are great up there.
You're going to love it.
Thank you so much.
Jumping back into your comments, this is a comment, a question actually for Glenn.
David wants to know who is stepping in for Stu or is anyone stepping in for?
Nobody.
No, nobody's stepping in for Stu.
I, you know, I just don't think anybody can.
I mean, we've talked about this.
I mean, Pat and I talked about this.
I mean, it's 30 years of experience.
And it's, I mean, think of this.
There are times that Stu says maybe 12 words a show.
Those are very expensive words.
But he'll say, there'll be shows where he says 12, you know, maybe 12 words a show.
And they're really, really good.
To get somebody, to get somebody of his talent, to get somebody of his talent, and then to have him with all of the institutional knowledge of exactly how I work and to get somebody of his talent to sit there and on days when you say 12 words, they'd lose their mind.
They'd absolutely lose their mind.
Stu never had one to begin with.
So there wasn't a loss there.
So I just don't think anybody can replace him.
So this question, another, going right back to the comments, this is a question from Stephen.
I don't even remember this specific instance, but I'm sure you do.
Steven wants to know, Stu, did you have any side effects after drinking that insecticide?
It was actually not Roundup side.
Yeah, it was herbicide.
Roundup.
Yes, Roundup.
No, no, no, no side effects whatsoever from that.
A lot of people ask about it.
It was.
I mean, he is in a wheelchair now.
But you can't prove it was Roundup.
At least that's what the company told me.
Right.
There was an exact quote.
So, yes, no, I'm still alive, still taking.
Again, things are deteriorating slowly, but I think the normal, typical demise of humans is going on with me.
This question comes from Autumn 216011.
Autumn wants to know the background of the Steve Stew, how that whole thing happened.
But she wants to know it from both of your perspectives, from both Glenn and Stu's perspective.
So you want the truth and then what Glenn says.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
My perception has become everyone's reality.
Oh, it's true.
That's true.
Yeah.
My recollection of this is that I had a good friend, Vinnie Penn, who replaced Pat on the show because Pat quit.
Boy, it seems to be a pattern with my friends, doesn't it?
It does.
What's the common denominator in all of those incidents?
Well, he had a good reason.
He had a good reason.
I was killing him.
I was at the height of my alcoholism, and he was like, Glenn, I can't watch you kill yourself anymore.
I can't do it anymore.
So he had a reason.
Anyway, so Vinny Penn replaces him.
And Vinny is, I mean, as I'm sobering up, I replaced Pat with a drunk.
I mean, he wasn't technically a drunk, but he loved to drink.
He was very young, and he was funny as hell.
Oh, yeah.
Still is.
And so my recollection is I was introduced to Stu by Vinny at some promotion where Vinny had a lot to drink and he was like, and he may have said Steve or was trying to say Steve, but all I heard was Stu.
And I was like, oh, hey, Stu, nice to meet you.
And now a normal human being says, no, I'm sorry, it's Steve.
That didn't happen.
That didn't happen for months.
That didn't happen.
He's on the air and I make fun of his name at some point.
And he's like, well, it would be funny if that were my name.
And I'm like, what the hell are you even talking about?
And he's like, that's not my name.
I said, well, first of all.
That's how all of us know you.
Now even his wife knows him as Stu.
And he was like, I just didn't, I didn't, I didn't want to say anything at first, and then it got really awkward.
And so I never said anything.
So do we fact check the story?
I mean, do I just let it roll the way that it is?
I don't know.
I finally had this point.
Is it different?
Because that's a story I've always known.
He's in the realm of reality.
And it's funny because Vinny, you mentioned, he's writing a book about this time in New Haven.
It's funny.
Very funny.
It's funny.
Very funny.
It's really funny.
Going through the few years there when we were in New Haven.
What is it called?
My prison sentence with Gwen or something like that?
Something like that.
Yes.
I don't remember.
Something like that.
It's actually very funny.
I can neither confirm nor deny a word of it is true, but it's very funny.
I have no idea.
But he actually tells a story totally wrong in the book, too, which is funny.
But what happened, what actually occurred.
And by the way, we should point out, drunk over here and drunk over there were the other two people who were to remember this story.
No, but when we met, I was never, you never knew me drunk.
I actually never, that is actually true.
I never saw Glenn drink.
I did come along after, but you still had to kill all your brain cells.
Yeah, I saw.
Yeah.
But he killed all the brain cells with Pat, and then I was left with the words that were left.
Get to your story for the love of somebody.
I went to a gig at a bar in New Haven, and Vinny did come up to me.
That part is true.
He was the one, the polite one, that came up and introduced himself to the new employee, unlike the other guy that was there.
And Vinny said, hey, what's your name?
And I said Steve, and he heard st, and then he assumed it was Stu.
That lasted a very short time.
He later that evening was absolutely aware my name was Steve.
He later that evening thought, said again, Stu, and I said, no, it's Steve.
He goes, oh, no, well, you look like a Stu.
I'm calling you Stu.
And just stuck by it as a joke.
He knew what my name was the entire time.
Then he kept calling me Stu.
And I was in, at that point, I already knew the joke.
I knew he was doing this to me and he was just going to torture me by calling me Stu.
But you are so oblivious to the world that you didn't know the joke and thought that was my name.
Nobody told me.
It was a joke.
Nobody told me the joke.
But I just assumed when somebody comes up, when somebody comes up and is like, hey, it's Stu.
I'd like you to meet Stu.
That's a funny joke when his name is Steve.
I mean, what kind of joke is that?
I didn't say it was his best material.
It wasn't.
He just thought it was a funny thing to torture your thought by calling me the wrong name.
But by saying that to me, that I had some, that I was oblivious, who says, come on, your name's not really.
Stew.
I just thought, I don't know.
I thought you were aware enough to pick it up.
And apparently, no, I didn't then, though.
Now I definitely do.
Glenn's taking credit for this.
course and I should point out the other part about this is I don't know I said something about his name and then he said, I would be funny if that was my name.
I know what you said about my name.
Would you like to hear the material Glenn was churning out at the end of his career?
No, I don't.
No, I don't.
Stew?
Stew.
I mean, what is that?
Like the stew?
Like the stew that you eat?
Did your mom on the way home from the hospital have stew?
That was the joke that led to that moment.
That was the high-level.
Good morning.
Admittedly, my career was over.
Over.
Let's check in on traffic.
I don't even think he bothered checking in with traffic at that point in his career.
So that was the truth.
That was a time when he would, at the end of every song, he would say, it was that guy.
And he didn't even know the name of the artist, even though it was written on the cartridge that we were playing.
That was a super, super fat guy with a super, super classic.
He didn't scarce.
That's What's Her Face's biggest hit yet, and it's just super, super classic.
I enjoy every one of her album.
I mean, really?
That was every song.
Every time.
Every effort to actually do his job.
Right.
Yep.
Another thing I had a problem with Binny's book was that he was saying that you showed up on time.
That is a massive rewrite of history.
That's like a book right out of Nick Fuentes' freaking history collection.
History by Nick Fuentes.
Glenn showed up on time.
I was sometimes an hour late.
Oh, there were times where I would have to, because I would show up.
But it wasn't because he was drunk.
It was because he was just lazy.
He didn't care.
He didn't care.
It wasn't even laziness.
He had plenty of ambition to do other things, just not the job he was getting paid for.
I think at that time he wanted to be a chef, right?
There was a chef period.
It was a real strong chef period.
Because I didn't think I wanted to do radio anymore because I was so sick of it.
It was my father that saved me.
Yeah.
My father, or doomed me, whichever way you want to look at it.
Or do the country.
I knew what I wanted to be when I was eight.
And so here I am 30, washed up, alcoholic, miserable.
And I'm like, I said to my dad, I don't want to do this anymore.
I just can't do it.
And he said, son, you've known what you've wanted to do.
You're just doing it the wrong way.
Find the things that interest you and talk about those things.
Yeah, that's great.
And so he's the one who, he's the one who caused all this, not me.
Apologize to the nation.
If you want to call in, the number is 888-727-BECK.
Phone lines are filling up.
Speaking of filling up, all the comments right now are just absolutely insane on just different skits that you guys have done over the past.
And Robert wants to know, he said, for old time's sake, please talk about the backstory of the cocaine diet.
I have no idea what that is.
Cocaine diet.
See, that's what I mean.
I don't even remember half of these things.
Was that, wait, wait, wait.
Was that when I was going on CNN and I, and you, I mean, I was, I am 225 pounds now.
When I was on CNN, I was thin.
205?
I might even go lower.
You look, when I watched some early CNN footage, you were like, I'm going to be on television.
I need to be in shape.
I need to be thin.
I'm not going to eat until I'm on television.
Right.
And I think I started with, you know, I'm on an all-cocaine diet.
And I think that's what I said.
I don't know if this is what you're talking about.
But then later, remember I asked the fattest listeners.
CNN loved this.
Oh, yeah.
I asked the fattest listeners and viewers.
I said, there's nothing better to hit your goal of weight loss than knowing you're going to be on TV in six months.
So if you want to lose weight, send me a picture of you and then tell me your goal and show me you on the scale.
And then I'm going to see, and then in six months, you send me a picture of you, picture of you on the scale.
If you haven't hit your weight, I run the fat picture on TV.
That was a great idea.
It was fast.
Did it work?
It must have worked.
I feel like it must have worked.
It must have worked.
I don't even remember.
It must have worked.
We probably just forgot about it.
All the brain cells were already dead.
Do you remember when I was at CNN and we said we were doing pitchforks and torches?
And they got so mad at us because their mailroom was full of pitchforks.
Oh, yeah.
They were so pissed.
And when we switched from CNN to Fox, they sent all the pitchforks over to the Fox mailroom just to piss them off.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
I feel like we've made the mistake multiple times of asking for things to be sent in.
I always feel like that always turns out.
My favorite was, you know, you don't give your postman enough credit.
I'm telling you, you could send a raw egg through the mail in a regular envelope and they will deliver it unbroken.
I'm going to, in fact, I'm going to offer $1,000 for the first unbroken mail, unbroken egg that comes through the mail in just a regular non-padded envelope.
The postal service came out and I mean, I thought I was going to jail.
You are wrecking all of our post machines.
And I'm like, hey, that's not my fault.
You're breaking them.
You're breaking the eggs.
Not me.
I want to head back over to the phones really quick because speaking of crazy or notorious things that Mr. Stu has done over the years, including one that made international news.
I want to go to Jason in Kentucky.
Jason, how you doing, buddy?
Doing great.
Thanks for having me on here.
Love the show, guys.
Big fan.
Thanks, Jason.
Just like Billion has gone through the years, all these crazy stories, getting caught on TV at the Vatican, et cetera.
My favorite story was with Stu catching the ball at the ball game.
Oh, Blue Jays game.
Yes.
In Toronto.
That was not that long ago.
When was that?
That really wasn't 17, 18?
That's a long time ago.
That wasn't a bit.
14 or 15.
Was it that long ago?
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
That was an actual thing, though.
That was not a bit.
That was not a bit.
I actually did catch a ball at a Blue Jays game.
Well, I didn't think I was in play.
I apparently did reach over the railing a little bit, a tad, and robbed the Tampa Bay Race first baseman from making a catch, which he was going to make anyway.
I don't know why I made such a big deal about it.
And then I remember being completely sure that I did not cross into the field of play.
And the guy came over and he was talking to me.
I'm like, I did not go over the line.
I was fine.
I was fine.
And I sat back down and I was complaining to the people around me.
I'm like, this is unbelievable.
And they were all like, you know, they're cheering.
And it was really fun.
And then we sat back down and then I'm like, I got to look at this.
And I looked at the replay.
I was, it had to be four feet over the fence.
I mean, so for some reason, there's a cameraman who's parallel.
He's sitting below the fence and has a shot directly up the fence to just see me reach way over and grab the thing.
And they were making, you know, I was on Sports Center.
I was on the Canadian Sports Center.
That's when you became a Canadian sports.
Celebrity.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was, it was a quite a quite, they did not kick me out of it.
I still have the ball, by the way.
They did not kick me out of the seat even.
I can't even imagine.
This is amazing because they normally kick you out of the stage.
Totally.
Was that a home run for them?
No, it was just a foul ball.
It was a foul ball.
But the funny part about this, because this lives on in my life all the time, because as my son plays baseball, he is a good baseball player.
And so that's a big part of his time is playing baseball.
And I'm friends with a lot of the baseball dads.
And every month or two, I get a text from one of the baseball dads being, I was just on YouTube and I was watching this video.
The Humiliating Baseball Legend00:14:51
MLB's worst fans, and I think I saw you over and over again.
Over and over again.
Can I tell you something?
One of the proudest moments, the biggest thing that you, Stu, I think, ever did for me was you washed the first pitch at, was it the Angels game?
Oh, yeah.
I gave the first pitch and it was horrible.
I'll never forget.
I mean, I did get it over the plate or to the plate.
To the plate.
You dreaded that for months.
Remember, we tortured him about that for months.
Yeah.
I've never played baseball.
I've never thrown a baseball in my life.
And I know.
You can't throw this.
Yeah, I know.
Well, you remember what the remember what the pitching coach said?
I was throwing the baseball beforehand.
I'm throwing it to somebody.
And the pitching coach says, why the hell is he throwing with his left hand?
And my friend said, he's left-handed.
And he went, his response was, holy Jesus.
But I don't think you can even find that.
I don't think that's anywhere now.
Because I remember saying to you, you've got to make that go away, go away, go away.
And we wanted to make such a big deal about it.
And you were like, it was the maybe the one time I feel like you really wanted that to go away.
That was like almost, you know, you will take a beating on almost anything.
You'll let us make fun of you for something that is intensely personal for years on end.
That one you did not have to do.
That's one of the most humiliating things in my life.
Only because it goes to childhood.
You know what I mean?
It just goes to childhood.
But I do remember Pat saying, Glenn, it could have been worse.
We have compared it.
You were actually better than Obama.
Wow.
Is that actually true?
Are you just making him feel good?
I believe that.
No, it's really true.
I mean, Obama was worse than Glenn.
And it's weird because Obama was such an athlete.
Remember to shoot at bats and look at his wife's arms.
Yeah, right.
Yes.
Exactly.
I want to stick to the phones here because actually I'm looking at both the comments and the phones right now, and the comments are just flooded with people being very appreciative of just everything that Stu has brought them over the years.
And that goes right into Michael from Colorado.
Michael, you're on with the boys.
Hi.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
First of all, Stu, I just want to say I'm actually 29 years old, and I so much appreciate your enduring impact you've had on my generation, which is millennials.
And obviously, Glenn, I grew up watching you.
So thank you so much.
And I did have a quick question for Stu.
I'd love to get your creative insight on.
So, Stu, I wanted to ask you, how do you think interest can be rekindled or regenerated in talk radio again with young people?
Much like interest with young people is kind of being generated with podcasts or YouTube.
And do you feel that there's still a realistic opportunity to do that as far as making talk radio, you know, appealing and fun and interesting to the Gen Z population and millennials?
That's a great question.
I like that.
That's like, that's real work.
You're making me work here on Wednesday.
That's awesome.
Yeah, I really do think that that's possible.
And I think it happens.
You know, the podcast thing has obviously been the target for younger people.
They're used to listening that way and consuming that way.
But, you know, I do think that there is a, I think, honestly, like people just not doing the same thing all the time would help that.
And I, you know, I love a lot of the, there's a lot of hosts out there that are great and they do great things, but I do think that a lot of it can get stale if you kind of keep doing the same thing over and over again.
I know we've tried to do different things over the years.
And, you know, I'm trying to do it with this new thing, predictableshow.com or Studios America on YouTube, trying to do something different.
And I think, I think that's going to be needed.
I mean, Glenn, you're in the Radio Hall of Fame.
Is that, is it safe?
Is it savable?
Oh, yeah, it's savable.
I mean, the thing is, though, I mean, this is the one thing that the audience I think likes and also hates is that I'm constantly changing.
You're doing the same thing.
We don't do the same thing we've always done.
We try not to.
Because, A, I just get too bored doing it.
But I think, you know, I think we are entering a time where the men are going to be separated from the boys here quickly in the next three years.
And I don't think it matters whether it's radio or podcasts.
The thing that radio is, is that it is immediate.
It has to reflect what's happening right now, where a podcast is not like that.
And we're trying to blur the lines, you know, of between the two, but it's extraordinarily difficult because they're completely different financial models.
You know, they have to pay for all of those transmitters and everything else.
But, you know, that's the biggest thing that hurts talk radio is that it just, it has to pay for all of those stations all across the country.
Otherwise, I think it would be a lot faster to adapt.
And I just, I wish more people would go into radio.
If you can do radio, you can do anything, literally anything.
You go into TV, you can't do radio.
You go into podcasting, you can't do radio.
You do radio, you can do podcasting.
You can do television.
You can do stage.
You can do anything.
Radio is the hardest medium that I've ever done.
And I stand by that because I know so many people who have tried all of them.
And then they get to radio and they're like, oh, this is not what I was bargaining for.
This is way too hard.
As Alec really doing about that.
Oh, yeah.
He can tell you how hard radio is.
I wish we had that little clip here to play.
It just, he thought it was going to be a breeze and fell flat on his face and then never did it again.
As far as I know, he never, he did that one trial night on some Philadelphia station and couldn't do it.
Could not do it.
But did go on to some great things like killing people.
Yeah, he did.
He did.
You know, but Joe Scarborough is still looking to figure out how to put a third hour.
That's for sure.
He still is.
He has not figured it out yet.
No, not figured it out.
They're in a hiatus.
They'll get there.
Yeah, he left radio.
He did it for like a year and it was a total disaster.
And he said, and his thing was, is we're looking to figure out how I can do a third hour.
Like, well, nobody wanted two, but he's trying to figure out how to figure out.
Here's how you do it.
You just add another hour at the end of one of these.
It was so great to have the morning man on his own station, Don Imos, talking about that.
Weren't they on the screen?
I miss Don.
Ah, man.
I miss Don so much.
I asked him right before I died, or right before he died.
I said, Don, please, please, I'll dedicate all of the proceeds to charity.
Please let me release our emails and our text messages back and forth from one another.
And he got really serious and he said, no, I will sue you.
The family, the estate will sue you if you ever do it.
And I'm like, Don, it is so hilarious, please.
And he's like, no.
And it's the one thing, if I could share anything with the audience, it would be those exchanges.
They were the funniest exchanges ever.
Hysterics.
Just hysteric, dark, mean.
Oh, my, mean.
Oh, my God.
Funny.
Oh my God.
Let's do it.
His last text to me was him in the hospital looking like absolute garbage, hoses in his nose and everything else, just looking like garbage.
And it's just the photo of him, and the line underneath was, at least I'm not fat like you.
So funny.
You know, it's funny because of all the times that we always wreck each other for just absolute nonsense.
And, you know, it's all just nonsense.
But like a lot, I think at least very early part of that for me was Imus.
I mean, I listened to Imus all the time as a kid.
And I remember just loving when they would just attack each other constantly.
And we brought that same thing, I think, at some level, at least to this.
Do you remember the first time I was on with Imus, how afraid I was?
I was so terrified.
Yes, I was.
Because I sat there and I thought, this guy could tear me apart so fast.
And I thought, I've listened to him for years.
The guests he likes are the ones that just rip into him.
And I think the first thing I said to him, he's like, Glenn Beck.
And I said, Don, it's an honor to be here.
I didn't even know you were still alive.
And he looked at me like, all right, brother.
Okay.
And then, I mean, we just immediately hit it off.
Oh, God.
A legend.
A legend.
So great.
Legend.
I want to dip right back real quick into the comments.
There are a ton of these comments.
I just want to read this comment really quick because it's very common from, I mean, this huge scroll right now of everyone saying, I'm going to read this comment and then go into a question.
Patty said, Stu, congrats on your new business venture, echoing all the comments.
You will be missed.
Thanks for all the laughs, especially more on trivia and your emotional send-off.
God bless you.
God bless your family.
Glenn, Pat, Jeffy, and the entire staff at the Glenn Beck program.
Thank you so much.
Now he's asking God to bless all of these people.
I mean, he doesn't have time to bless all of us.
Prioritize.
Prioritize.
And this is a question from Prague Drummer, which is, I'm really curious about this as well.
He goes, wait, what about the Christmas Twist franchise?
Any hope for more sequels?
Yes.
I mean, I still, that is a Blaze TV property.
I'll still be on Blaze TV doing Studios America.
So it is possible that another one of those could be made.
I don't know.
I believe that was a Mercury property.
I believe that was produced by MRA.
I guess technically it was.
So what do you think?
Technically, what do you think?
You're going to put some dollars behind that, some big bucks behind that or what?
No, I'm just thinking that I have somebody else to sue now.
I mean, apparently you are just running crazily with it and just giving it away, higgledy-piggledy.
So, yeah, I would love to do it.
I'd love to actually do the parody movie, a real parody Hallmark movie.
I'd love to.
That would be fun.
A Christmas movie that, yeah, where she was a high-powered New York attorney, but she's got to go back home to take care of the cows or something.
She probably doesn't like that.
And then her ex from high school just happens to still be there and they run into each other.
But they probably are mismatched at this point, right?
Pat?
They're not going to get together.
She's got a high-powered boyfriend back at home in New York.
He's just milking the cows.
We leave the Hallmark channel on during the Christmas season at our house, and we are all so sarcastic.
Yeah.
Anybody who walks in the room, I mean, my children, even when they were young, they'd be like, Dad, you don't think he's going to fall in love with her?
I mean, right?
I know.
So my wife is here.
This is what we do all throughout the holidays: just watch those movies and just make fun of her.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
The kids did actually watch the Christmas twist.
I wasn't thrilled.
They were like, acting awful.
I guess our acting is awful.
Except, I will say, Pat.
Pat, an incredible performance as Uncle Billy, I believe.
Yeah, I believe.
Oh, my gosh.
That is a classic.
By the way, still on my YouTube page, youtube.com/slash studiosamerica.
You can watch it right now.
Okay, you alert the attorneys.
I want to jump right back because we.
Oh, go ahead, Glenn.
Go ahead.
No, go ahead.
I was going to say, I want to jump back into some of these phone calls really quick because we have 15 minutes left.
So if you have questions in the comments, you want to get them answered.
Here's this echoes kind of Patty's sentiment, but let's go to Jeff in North Carolina.
Jeff, how are you doing, buddy?
Good.
Listen, gentlemen, and I say that wholeheartedly as gentlemen.
Yeah, the emotion from that was just absolutely incredible.
You guys don't understand when you were all together, Glenn, Pat, and Stu was literally GPS.
So you set us on the street narrow.
I like that.
And Jeffy's not included in that, which is the best part.
Well, there's no J in GPS.
I mean, come on.
Well, Jeff.
No, when you're driving, you get lost.
You do go jerk.
Yeah, okay.
Jeffy has someone that has his back because literally, since I was, you know, young, and my nieces and nephews now are in their late 20s and 30s, and I am still Uncle Jeffy.
Oh, see, look at that.
Look at that.
That's probably.
I have your back, brother.
There is no one that could screw with you.
I got your back, buddy.
And we should be.
I think, you know, I love Jeffy.
Jeffy's the best.
And I say that because he looks like he is, I mean, on Death Store.
And I.
And that's only because he is.
Okay, he is.
Okay, all right.
Okay, he truly, truly is.
He truly is.
Yeah.
You know, when Stu left me, you remember that?
You remember that, guys?
When Stu quit the first time?
I do.
The first time I do my own show.
You get to be more specific.
Yeah, that first time you quit.
And then I was stuck with Jeffy.
And Jeffy, Jeffy was a big fan of the host that I replaced, who I didn't know anything about, but he treated me like I was his enemy because I was replacing his buddy.
And oh my gosh, it was the worst.
Stu wasn't there for it.
Nobody was there to help me through that.
Jeffy was absolutely the worst.
I know.
And I saw that picture today of you and Stu, you know, acting like you're sleeping through the show.
And I thought, I remember the looks you used to give me through the glass, like you are pathetic.
You suck.
And to think now that we are such good friends.
This is just tremendous, though.
From Rivals to Friends00:10:48
It makes me wonder if I'm still drinking at some point.
The thing I always remember about that period with Jeffy was, and I wasn't there for this particular time because I had abandoned you, but you had told me this story multiple times, Glenn, about how much Jeffy hated you.
And that he, when you would point to go to break, his react, like the time.
Here it is.
Here it is.
Let's chop chocolate.
Now, imagine, imagine I'm sitting.
This is this is Jeffy in the other room.
I've got the control board here, and he's looking at me like I'm looking at you.
And I'm in the middle of like failing.
My bid is failing.
It's nothing's working, and I'm panicking.
I'm just trying to get to commercial anyway, no.
I'm called the wheel.
Get out.
And I'm doing this.
I'm just doing this.
Like, press the damn commercial.
Get me out of this.
And I'm just doing this.
And he looks at me and pushes the button.
Four seconds.
I look at him.
Oh, my gosh.
He hated you.
And similar feelings today, right?
Well, let's go back to the phone lights really quick before we run out of time.
Let's go to Tony and PA.
Tony.
Hey, guys.
How are you?
Hey, Tony.
Tony.
This is Tony from Hank's Beverage Company.
Oh, nice.
Tony.
Nice.
Best beverage in the world.
Hank.
You've been so good.
If you've not had Hank's root beer, it is the best root beer in all of the earth.
Yes.
So orange is great.
Thank you so much, Glenn.
I'll give you that cash later, okay?
Yeah, you just send some root beer down my way.
I'm in Florida.
Do you sell it in Florida, Tony?
Yes, we do.
Got to find it.
It's so good.
It's so good.
Anyway, so anyway, real quick, guys, Stu, you know, not too many things make me cry, but man, you made me cry at the end of that segment of the show there.
And then, of course, Glenn always makes him cry.
But anyway, and Jason, real quick.
When's the last time Dallas won the Super Bowl?
Yeah.
Got it.
Let it Jeffy.
Hit the dump button, Jeffy.
Hit the dump button.
Go, birds.
Go, birds, Tony.
I'm sorry, Jason.
That was a low blow.
Low blow.
It was.
Tony, thanks so much.
I got to show you this watch that Glenn gave me, which is Eagles-themed.
It is incredible.
You would love it.
Oh, that's awesome.
That's awesome.
Will you show it to him as his house, or are you going to show it to him on the camera?
I can't.
There's no way to show it to him on camera.
It's too far away.
It looks just like a green circle from that distance.
Oh, yeah.
It's a lot.
Anyway, it's a cool watch.
It's great, though.
I tell you what, I really appreciate what you guys, you know, just over the years listening to you, Glenn, with Twist, you know, you've twisted, oh my God, I can't even say it.
Twisted freaks, you know, on early shows and stuff like that.
And then also memories of when Stu, and I believe it was Stu and Pat that had me on, was it Spoons?
Yeah, that's right.
It was your job.
Diet root beer and the ice cream and everything else.
Yeah.
And then Glenn, Glenn, you had my dad, God rest his soul back in 2014, I believe, on your show.
And it made his life complete, honestly.
That's sweet.
That's all.
Thanks.
But thank you so much for everything you're doing, Stu.
I wish you the best.
Oh, and by the way, oh, that looks awesome, by the way.
I just saw your watch.
But anyway, yeah, you're something else there.
And by the way, I did subscribe to your show there because I heard it was a gambling show.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
We're going to have a lot of fun over there, Tony.
Another guy called Tony's going to be calling you up, Tony.
Talking about the gambling show.
You know what I mean?
Thanks, Tony, man.
You're the best.
I think we have to do it.
I want to do your liners for that.
I want to do your liners for that.
For the show?
It's the show.
Make some bets.
I mean, make some predictions here.
You know what I'm saying?
I like it.
I like it.
You're in.
You're hired.
We're funded, but still, there's a budget.
So we're welcome.
You're welcome to come over anytime you want.
Oh, yeah.
I think we have time for one more caller and then the final question of the day, which I have saved and that's a good one.
Let's go to Nick in New Jersey.
Nick, how you doing?
Hey, Glenn, I get it.
Thanks for all the years, Stu, for everything.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, we want to wish you Godspeed, my whole family and everything.
My mother, though, is very upset, thinks that Predictable Show is a dumb idea.
Thank you.
It's only because she just is going to miss you so much.
We are.
A couple of things.
My battery's about to die on my phone, so I just wanted to real quick.
I remember on the show, on the TV show, I think it was on CNN when they captured Musab Al-Zarcawhey.
Yeah.
And you had brought out a cake, and it said Alzarcake.
And later on, I found out that Stu insisted that the caption said that.
It was such dopey humor that I never forgot that joke.
Al-Zarcakey.
That's adorable.
No, yeah, we were down on the streets of New York, right?
And we were, it's funny because that segment, which absolutely, I can't believe we got it on television when you think about it.
We were just mocking, you know, was he dead?
It was something.
We were celebrating his.
Was Al Jarca, was he the hairy back guy?
No.
No, that was a different one.
We should have made cake and just put hair off.
But the guy who was out, Glenn, with me, you know, it was an on-the-street segment, and we had a producer from CNN with us for that.
And the producer for that was Adam, who's currently my producer on Studos America and the new show, Predictable.
Yeah, it was him.
He was the one out there with me.
He's been with us all that time.
He had a couple weird dalliances over to like Joy Behar's show or something.
But in between, he was with us the entire time.
So I will say, I just bring that up as another example of how out of the ordinary this company is and this group of people is.
There's no examples of this.
You don't have situations in media where people are hanging out for 20, 30 years together.
It almost never happens.
No, it is.
Let me echo.
It is the greatest group of people that I have ever worked with.
And that is bar none and the best audience, I think, ever in America.
Yes.
I will say one more detail on that one.
Thank you.
It'll be even better after this.
Adam writes me as he's listening to this.
He says it was his first field shoot of his career.
So imagine that while he's out there celebrating a terrorist and he says it was, quote, bacon wrapped.
People know.
We have time for one final question.
We have five minutes left.
So if Stu, if you can respond to this question and then do our sign-off, this is from Ryan.
He said, and this is very, very important.
Ryan asks, can Stu provide for the insiders your first recommendation before the show ends, your prediction for your new site?
He's ready to make his first buy.
Oh, wow.
Already.
Gosh.
That's a great question.
First one from the news site.
We, of course, aren't starting for about a month or so from now, so I don't know that I have anything official.
Let me look for a couple of pieces of value real quick.
Look at that Senate race in Iowa.
There's a strong candidate running for the Democrats in the gubernatorial race, which has that, you know, like almost like a 50-50 race in Iowa, which seems because Reynolds is stepping down.
The Senate race, though, it would be shocking to me.
Honestly, that Senate race goes the wrong way.
And I want to say it's in like the mid-60s last time I looked at it.
That's really solid value for something like Iowa.
So that's going to get you, what, 50% gain on your money in the middle of the morning.
You want to know about the Super Bowl?
Who wants to know about New England?
I mean, Seattle's probably going to win the game.
Absolutely.
That's what I think too.
I feel like New England's done an incredible job to get there.
It's an amazing season for them.
But I feel like Seattle's going to be a little bit more.
I have to be able to do that.
I have to tell you.
I have no interest in the Super Bowl.
I have no interest in the Super Bowl.
This is the worst Super Bowl matchup and halftime I've ever heard of.
We were just talking about that a little while ago.
It is horrible.
We have some big Seattle fans and New England fans who work here and they're into it, which I get.
But as far as national interest goes, it doesn't feel you're not excited for Bad Bunny?
Understanding the words he's saying.
He's going to be in a dress.
I did love that this year.
And didn't they just hire somebody else?
They just hired somebody else to do something.
Yeah, Green Day.
Green Day.
They're going to do poor days.
Because it wasn't anti-American enough.
So let's get Green Days.
I mean, that's crazy.
They're going to do pretty gays.
Let me end with this.
Stu, you always have a chair warm here with me.
You always have a warm place to come back to and share what you're doing.
I wish you all the best in the world.
You have been a great, great partner, great writer, great producer, and great friend.
And you always have a place back here.
You always have a home with me.
Thank you.
I'm proud of you.
I'm proud.
This is a very, I know how much money you're walking away from.
So I'm proud of you.
Really, I am.
Thank you, Glenn.
I appreciate it.
I really do appreciate everything.
And, you know, I was going to go through a long list of people on the air, but of course I couldn't get to it.
I just want to say, Sarah, I love you.
You're the best.
Sarah's, she's been with us forever, too.
I'm going to miss her a lot.
She's like my big, my, my little sister.
It's been a hard week for her, Stu.
Two of us have been going back and forth.
It's been a hard week.
I know.
I mean, I'm a mess for a hundred different reasons.
So thanks so much for everything, Glenn.
And it's been a fun, fun ride.
And I will see you soon.
Invite me back on, man.
Come on.
