Amb. Robert Joseph joins Glenn Beck to critique California's "jock tax" and gas prices, arguing against bailing out cities like Los Angeles due to excessive burdens. They analyze the SAVE Act, urging Republicans to overcome Senator John Thune's obstruction to verify citizenship via photo ID, while discussing Iran's potential revolution and Donald Trump's strategy of maximum pressure without war. The episode concludes by exposing Keith Ellison's constitutional ignorance regarding federal immigration powers and questioning Mitch McConnell's motives against election integrity reforms.

Your phone bill is one of the few things you pay every single month without really thinking about it.
It runs in the background, even though it touches almost every part of your daily life.
What most people don't realize is that the big phone companies, the money often goes to places they would never choose on their own.
I mean, you're not going to do it.
You're not going to send money to Planned Parenthood.
Well, you are if you're signed up with Verizon.
You're funding them.
Patriot Mobile exists to give people a choice.
They offer nationwide coverage on the same networks.
You're already using these networks.
They operate with a set of values that actually line up with their customers.
And that means you don't have to pay more, settle for worse service.
Your phone just works.
Your bill makes sense and your money isn't working against the things that you believe.

And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Glenn Beck is on.
Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
I've got a chalkboard I want to start with right off the bat, and its title is, Keith Ellison is a moron.
And we begin there.
Now that Jesus wouldn't have said that.
No.
But Jesus doesn't work here.
I do.
So we go to that here in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
Some people just sit.
No thought, no strategy, no, you know, hands-on armrests like they're preparing for re-entry.
They lower themselves into a chair as if it's the most ordinary thing in the world, because for them, it is.
And then other people, whole different process.
You know, timing, angles, little brace here, careful shift there.
You know, getting back up isn't much better at all.
This is what Relief Factor is for.
It's a daily supplement designed to help support your body's response to the inflammation, for which a lot of people is a big part of, you know, those days that are you're stiff, achy, and, you know, you just feel like crap all day.
It's not about doing something extreme.
It's about making the ordinary feel ordinary again, sitting down without a plan, getting up without a countdown, moving through your day without constantly being frustrated by pain getting in the way all the time.
Over a million people have tried Relief Factor.
Two-thirds of them have gone on to take more month after month.
I'm one of them because it works.
Don't wait.
If you're dealing with daily pain, launch your three-week quick start and see what Relief Factor can do for you.
Call 8004 Relief, 800, the number 4 Relief, or relieffactor.com.
How will it feel to finally be out of pain?
All righty.
Let's see here.
I got to get warmed up for Keith Ellison is a moron.
Let me just start with what Keith has written.
He wrote a little op-ed about how Trump just hates Minnesotans because they love one another.
Aww, not cute.
I'm going to read this in my third grade voice.
Okay.
The president has gone after us because of who we are and what we value.
We have an obligation to resist.
Okay.
I can't read it like that.
I think I have to read it like I'm talking down to you because you have to be a moron to believe any of this.
Operation Metro Surge, the Trump administration's campaign that has targeted the city of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota, which I serve as Attorney General.
That is incredible.
I just want you to remember, he's the Attorney General of the state.
Okay.
You know, the one with all the corruption.
He's the chief law enforcement officer.
I want you to keep that in mind because the guy has no idea how the country works.
Okay.
It appears to be the single largest deployment of immigration agents in the history of the United States.
This domestic invasion has inflicted tremendous damage on our state.
In addition, the 10th Amendment gives Minnesota dual sovereignty with the federal government.
Yet we have seen the White House try to force elected leaders to bend to its will rather than to will of the people of our state.
The federal government has deployed more than 3,000 masked and heavily armed agents to achieve what Congress or a court would never grant, coerced control over the politics of Minnesotans.
I can't wait to come back to that paragraph.
People may ask, why is Minnesota having to deal with this targeted oppression?
Well, one answer is that we voted against the president three elections in a row.
Something he has publicly said he resents deeply.
But there's a deeper, truer answer.
Trump has gone after us because of who we are and what we value.
Oh man, that is so obvious.
You know what it reminds me of?
The smell of number seven?
Oh, you can't smell number seven.
Yes, exactly right.
This makes no sense whatsoever.
We welcome strangers, do you?
We see refugees as cherished members of our community, not as threats.
We take the vulnerable among us.
We want to be a great place for everyone to live, no matter where they come from.
Really?
If I move there, Texas?
Really?
And while we, of course, believe in the rule of law, we also believe that immigration is not a sin.
Well, I'm glad you're a preacher there at the end.
Okay, so Keith, I'm going to help you out a little bit because I got a chalkboard.
And the title of the chalkboard is Ellison's a Moron.
Okay.
Let's start with that paragraph that I love so dear about dual sovereignty with shared control.
What is he talking about there?
Dual sovereignty with shared control.
He's talking about the 10th Amendment, of course.
The phrase dual sovereignty.
Wow, that sounds powerful.
It does, all right?
But it doesn't mean that the states and the federal government share authority over immigration enforcement.
They don't.
Here's what dual sovereignty means.
States oversee state powers.
Federal oversees federal powers.
It's just that easy.
Okay.
Immigration, border control, naturalization, and removal, it's been settled repeatedly.
They are exclusively federal powers rooted in Article 1, naturalization, Article 2, foreign relations, and the Supremacy Clause.
Now, I don't like this.
Yeah, wait until I get to point number two.
I'll tell you why I don't like it.
I don't like it, but it's settled law now.
You can cooperate with the federal government and help them with their enforcement or not cooperate.
You as a state can decline to assist, but you may not obstruct or veto or override federal immigration operations.
Settled, settled in the court of law.
Okay.
And that distinction matters because his argument assumes that Minnesota has a constitutional right to block the federal enforcement officers.
They don't.
Nowhere in the Constitution.
Nowhere.
Now, let me get to point number two, Keith, because this is where it gets kind of cute.
Kind of cute because you're pretending we don't really have memory.
Look, what I'm going to do is I'm going to cook something up and hope that no one in America has any memory at all.
They're all goldfish.
Unfortunately, a few of us do remember what you tried to do in Arizona.
If your position was correct, then Arizona should have won when it tried to secure its own border.
Do you remember that?
Because it was your side that said, wait, They can't secure their own border.
That's the federal government.
It's in the Constitution.
The federal government has all the power on that.
They can't do anything.
And Arizona said, wait a minute, you can't do that because they're not doing their job.
They weren't arguing that they had the right.
They were arguing that the federal government wasn't doing their job.
So somebody had to.
But no, you Democrats were like, no, no, no, they can't do anything.
It doesn't make any difference.
There are no borders.
There are no borders.
Okay.
So what happened?
Well, we took it all the way to the Supreme Court and Supreme Court told us there are no borders.
Only the federal government could say there are borders.
Okay.
So you won that.
Now, wait a minute.
I'm trying to understand.
The state of Arizona was trying to say that, no, the federal government isn't doing things and we have a right to protect our citizens.
And you said, no.
Okay, so now you're arguing that Minnesota can resist federal immigration enforcement on the sovereignty grounds, which don't exist for you, by the way, which contradicts the legal decisions that you defended against Arizona.
Here's why I like to say, you can't have it both ways.
Life's like a box of chocolate.
You just bit into one that's nasty.
Then he says, well, he's coercing control over state politics.
What?
What?
He's coercing.
Trump is coercing control over the politics of Minnesotans.
Really?
That's weird.
Because under the basic Constitution, you guys don't have any politics.
You can say whatever you want, but you can't obstruct.
You can not help all you want.
All you want.
Yeah.
But the constitution says the federal government has, has that.
So if, if enforcing federal law were coerced political control, then.
Hey, Keith, I got an idea.
Let's play this one out.
Okay.
A federal government doesn't have the right to do anything.
That means the FBI is unconstitutional.
Yeah.
But wait, wait, wait.
You might even say, yeah, that's right.
The FBI is unconstitutional.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
That would mean that desegregation orders would have violated state sovereignty in the 1960s.
That means all federal civil rights enforcement in the 60s would have been illegal because our federal government is trying to enforce it, put its power down and wreck our politics.
Uh-huh.
Hmm.
Nope.
Nope.
Doesn't work, Keith.
You're a moron.
The masked agents, sending in masked agents.
Okay.
Here's what you should know because you're the attorney general.
You should know this.
If they wear masks or they carry rifles or they arrive in large numbers, 3,000 or two people, that doesn't have anything to do with the Constitution.
It has nothing to do with the Constitution.
Here's the question that does have something to do with the Constitution.
Are they enforcing federal law?
Are they acting within statutory authority?
Are they violating any constitutional rights?
If the answer of one and two is yes and three is no, then you got nothing.
You got nothing.
You're just, you want it your way and you can't handle it.
And what kills me is how you people will jump from one side of the Constitution to the other.
And sometimes, sometimes that happens.
You know, the Constitution, you know, what I love about the Constitution, and I know that it's right, is I don't always agree with it.
It doesn't always fall on my side.
You know what I mean?
And you're like, but when you expect it to fall on your side every time, that's a problem, not with the Constitution, that's a problem with you.
Okay?
When Arizona tried to secure its border, Democrats said only the federal government can do it.
When the federal government enforces immigration law in Minnesota, Democrats say states have a right to resist.
The 10 Key Number Debate00:08:27
Both things cannot be true.
I'm happy.
I'm happy.
You tell me which one is true.
You tell me which one's true.
You want to make it states have a right to resist?
Okay, we'll make it states have a right to resist.
All the time.
All the time.
If you say, nope, they don't have a right to resist.
Great.
We'll say that.
All the time.
Keith, this isn't about compassion or cruelty, refugees or fear or Donald Trump or Minnesotan values.
This is about the Constitution of the United States.
And here's what it says.
The state can disagree.
The state may protest.
The state may refuse cooperation, but a state cannot veto something that falls under the 10th Amendment in the Constitution to the federal government.
That's how federal government, this federal government works.
That's how our constant.
And I would think that maybe somebody who was attorney general, do I get a uniform with that job?
You'd think that the attorney general, especially one that was at least on the sidelines involved with Arizona, would know that.
But see, you do know that.
You're either a moron or you're just a liar.
You decide.
Back in a minute.
Rapid Radios.
Some gear feels like it was designed for real life.
Other gear feels like it was, you know, designed to be sold in a toy store.
The RAD 1 from Rapid Radios, definitely not the second kind.
This is not a little walkie-talkie.
This is the kind of radio that you can toss in a truck, clip to a backpack, keep in a kitchen drawer, even hand to a kid with simple instructions and feel confident it will do the job when you press that button.
Solid, straightforward, built to work.
It's not meant to impress somebody in a product meeting.
It's for when things get busy or unpredictable when you really need it, whether that's a storm, a big event, travel, or just a day when everybody is scattered in different directions.
This kind of simple, reliable connection starts to feel less like a gadget and more like peace of mind.
The new RAD 1, officially live.
Right now, you can see it.
You can go to the website.
It's Powerhouse.
You just head on over to rapidradios.com, rapidradios.com.
Don't wait for the moment.
You wish you had a backup.

10 seconds station id this is this is absolutely incredible
And I say that because I was going to release here in the next couple of days 10 songs that I've been working on that are about the Constitution because nobody knows the Constitution.
Can you tell me the Eighth Amendment, what the Eighth Amendment is?
Can you tell me the Ninth Amendment, 10th Amendment?
10th Amendment is actually pretty easy.
And that's the one he's falling down on.
So let me just play the song because we're, I'll explain in a minute.
Let me just play the song on the 10th Amendment.
This is what the 10th Amendment is all about.
Listen.
Oh, it already hurts my head.
I'm Keith Ellison.
Didn't make demands.
They said, let's be clear before this starts.
Here's what government cannot touch.
Not a promise of favors.
Not a list of freebies to send.
It's a fence with a warning sign.
Oh, sounds like a lesson's coming.
Here it is.
Not written down for DC.
And it's not forbidden to the state.
And it stays with the people.
Yeah, that's the key.
That's number 10.
No debate.
They get a short list.
We get the rest.
That was the deal.
That was the take.
Not just a take.
Not just to spread us.
Help our remnants.
Let's see if I have this right.
If it's not written down for the feds.
Free sounds great till you read the fine print.
There's always a cause.
And it's never what you think.
If it's not written down for DC, and it's not forbidden to the states.
And it stays with the people.
Yeah, that's the key.
That's number 10.
No debate.
They get a short list.
We get the rest.
That was the deal.
That was the test.
Not just to take, not just to spend.
That's how power is.
You don't have a right to someone else's labor.
You don't have a right to a free house delivered.
If the government gives, the government takes.
And the price is never just money you pay.
They don't get to cross that line.
Powers listed view.
Rights you hold.
Too many to define.
They get limits.
We get space.
That's the structure.
That's the case.
So there it is.
Amendment number 10, Keith Ellison.
Who'd like me to play it again?
Slower, maybe?
Here's the thing.
It is written down for DC.
That's the whole point of the Constitution.
There are certain powers written down.
The government only has those powers.
They can't just make new powers up.
The Good and Plenty Clause doesn't exist.
You can't just say, oh, the government has to now tax you because we're going to give health care.
It is not in the Constitution.
And I know we've gotten away from that, but generally, that is so the power doesn't grow.
We're way beyond that.
But the thing we have to remember is if it's not written down, then the government can't do it.
This power that they are exercising is written down, Article 1, Article 2, and the Supremacy Clause.
So the federal government has the right and it's written down.
So it retains that power.
This is what the Supreme Court said.
I don't like it.
You apparently don't either, at least this time.
But that's what the Supreme Court says.
That's what the Constitution says.
So you can't get around it.
Sorry, you want to change the Constitution.
By the way, you can do that.
I don't know if I know how to do that, though, Glenn.
Okay, I got it.
Keith Ellison is a moron.
Most self-defense conversations start way too late.
Breaking Moments Before They Break You00:02:10
They start after something happens.
You know, somebody feels cornered.
Situation turns from this is weird to this is bad in about three seconds.
And by then, your options are usually limited.
Freeze, run, or hope.
What I like about the Burna launcher is that it gives you an option that lives in that space before things reach their worst case scenario.
Burna is a less lethal launcher designed to help you protect yourself by stopping a threat at a distance using kinetic and irritant projectiles that can disorient and put an attacker down on the ground, give you time to get away, create space, call for help.
It's not about escalation.
This is about interruption, breaking the moment before it breaks you.
It's also legal in all 50 states.
It doesn't require a permit, which means you don't have to jump through a maze of red tape just to have a practical layer of protection in your home or with you when you're out and about.
As long as you're over 18, there's no paperwork.
It's completely legal everywhere.

So these are things that I'm working on because of the torch.
This is, you know, people say, why did you stop doing the Wednesday night thing, everything else?
And why are you asking us to sign up for the torch?
Because this is what I'm working on now.
And you have not seen really anything yet that's coming from the torch.
Rhythm Behind the Message00:15:33
This is something that I've had in me for I don't know how long.
And, you know, Bad Bunny is a great example of this.
Bad Bunny, the reason why that's so powerful is because it's a message that has rhythm behind it.
There's a study that was done.
It was in Scientific America a long time ago, I think.
And the research shows that when you hear a steady rhythm, the brain waves lock in to that rhythm in real time.
And it sharpens perception.
It sharpens and quickens your thinking.
It even determines what you're likely to see and understand while that rhythm is there.
Our brain is built for certain beats and certain rhythm.
That's why speech, if speeches are given and giving the exact opposite example, and the speaker has good rhythm to him, he's a more effective speaker.
Okay.
Because information arrives in sync with rhythm to our brains and it changes.
And it's more likely to stick.
It's more likely to be understood.
And it doesn't just coordinate movement.
It coordinates your mind.
Okay.
Think the rhythm of Bad Bunny.
It's why I'm spending this time because I want you to have tools for your kids.
I wish I would have done this earlier when my kids were young.
I want you to be able to have some tools that you can just play around your kids.
And hopefully your kids will like it and they'll sing it.
Play number nine, amendment number nine.
Do you even know what amendment number nine is?
Amendment number nine is important because number it is the basic building block to get you to number 10.
Number 10 is amendment number 10 is if it's not written down for DC and it doesn't go to the state, then it belongs to the people.
But they can't just make up rights.
Okay.
But before you get there, you may need Amendment 9.
So here's the song for Amendment 9.
Just play a little bit of it.
You can't list everything that's true.
Just come.
Doesn't mean it's not still yours.
Doesn't mean it's not up for.
Some things live between the lines.
That's the point of number nine.
Not everything you want to sign.
Some rights are still yours.
So we have to start, we're at a moment of history where we have to choose.
We have to choose.
We're at this moment where history will judge us.
And there's a few things that we have to do.
You know, I said this to you yesterday.
One of the most used words in the Bible is remember.
And I always found it funny because he's always saying remember.
And it's like 30 page backs, 30 pages before that.
They're being, I don't know, smote or smitten or whatever.
He's got the smoke button working.
You know what I mean?
And then he's like, 30 pages later, he's like, gosh, remember.
Remember what happened last time.
Okay.
We are deciding now whether we're going to remember who we are or we're going to surrender that responsibility to somebody else.
And that's what the Super Bowl, the halftime was all about.
You are over as a culture.
Accept it.
Well, I don't accept that.
I don't.
But it's happening because we just all assumed that history would be taught, civics would be passed down.
That somehow or another, we learned this from our parents and we got it in school.
It wasn't.
They made a concerted effort to teach these things.
Now they're making a concerted effort to teach the opposite.
Okay.
And so moms and dads today, even me, I'm not a teacher in the traditional sense.
I teach differently.
And I get so freaked out when I have to teach my own kids.
I don't know why, but I get freaked out.
I'm like, I don't know.
I don't want to screw them up.
That's something that society is saying to you.
Okay.
You are the best teacher.
They're your children.
That's your responsibility.
And education is the key to saving the West.
Not indoctrination, not slogans, not teaching them how to go out and march.
I mean, think about the marches that they did a couple of weeks ago.
They don't even know what they were marching for.
And this is why I'm building the torch.
I'm building the torch.
It's not a media platform.
It's not a political platform.
It's a tool.
It's a tool eventually, hopefully in the next, you know, 10 months, 11 months, you will see this start to really take shape.
It's a tool built for parents and American citizens that want to reclaim the education of their children and the education that they themselves may not have gotten.
They want to learn where did we come from?
Why were we founded?
What principles does all of this rest on?
Why do the amendments of the Constitution even exist?
What do they mean?
While everyone else is teaching your kids what to think, We need to teach our kids how to think.
Critical thinking, ethics, civics, historic context, cause and consequence.
I mean, Keith Ellison could get away with that because he thinks we have forgotten cause and consequence.
He thinks that we have forgotten what they did in Arizona.
And most Americans have forgotten it or didn't know it in the first place.
I would like to ask you to join me on the torch.
Sign up now at glennbeck.com slash torch.
Help me build this.
I mean, you're going to have structured curriculum, study guides for families, documentaries and shows and everything else, put perspective.
You're going to have audio history podcasts.
There's already like three great series up on the torch.
If you're not listening to America's Story, it's based on David Barton's book.
If you haven't read that, you should just get the book.
But listen to it come to life.
It's really, really good.
And share it with people.
Share it with your family.
Learn these things.
You say you want them.
So we're building them.
And I'm telling you, it's education built for real life, real families, real responsibility.
So join me at glendbeck.com slash torch.
By the way, if you join this month, you get a couple of things.
You get a personal note from me, a founder's lapel pin, because you are the first in who saw the vision before anybody else, and you're helping me build it.
And then you also get, you know, early access and founding member perks.
And if you join this month, your price will never go up.
I'm making it inflation proof for anybody who joins the first month.
$10 today, $10 20 years from now, it will never go up.
But we have to take education of our children back.
We must do it.
Christopher Ruffo said something yesterday that I found interesting.
And he was talking about the culture war.
And I love Christopher Ruffo.
So I don't want to get into it.
I just want to take what he said and how I am perceiving it because I know I say things on X and then I'm like that.
That's not exactly what I meant.
He says, the problem with the annual conservative outrage cycle over Super Bowl halftime show is that it has no impact on the NFL and it makes conservatives look weak and left behind.
Kid Rock does not change this calculus.
He reinforces it, the ghettoization of conservative culture.
I'm a right-winger.
I love country music, but come on, Kid Rock did not mog Bad Bunny.
This isn't a stunning culture war victory.
Advertisers are not going to flock away from the Super Bowl.
Conservatives have started lying to themselves and to their audiences.
That's not good.
Chris, I'd love to have a conversation with you on that because I see it differently.
And here's how I see it.
That sounds to me like what a lot of people told me when I said, help me build a network.
Let's build the blaze because my goal is to show other people who now have no voice, have been fired or, you know, think of Megan Kelly.
Think of Megan Kelly.
Megan Kelly, when she left, the blaze was early on.
She had no place that she could go where she could make money.
She went to NBC.
And I talked to her and I said, Megan, you got to come to the blaze.
Come to the blaze.
Don't go to NBC.
Come to the Blaze.
We couldn't pay her what NBC was paying.
She is not hurting for cash now.
Okay.
Because we opened a door and showed that it can be done.
We didn't replace ABC, NBC, CBS, but we sure have weakened them.
We sure have taken it so there are alternatives.
The mainstream media is not ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN.
That's not the mainstream media.
What's happening online is the mainstream media.
And that's what we built, but it took years to do it.
Look at Angel Studios.
15 years ago, you couldn't make a good Christian film.
You couldn't get it seen anywhere.
But you certainly, nobody was making good Christian films.
We didn't even have the talent to do it.
Look at what's happening.
Have we taken Hollywood out?
No.
Are they close?
Yeah.
And we're not concerned because we don't have to go through that door.
Let them do what they do.
So which brings me back to the NFL and halftime.
What TPUSA did was not a stunning victory.
Everybody, look, they've destroyed the value of halftime at the Super Bowl.
That's not what happened.
That's not what happened.
What happened Sunday was a proof of concept.
You can't necessarily pull people from the NFL because it's unique.
It's offering something you can't get anywhere else.
And so people are addicted to it and they will not leave it.
No matter how many times they violate principles, it has been seen.
They'll never leave it.
Okay.
And you're not going to be able to do it unless you offer a better product that people want.
Well, nobody's working on an NFL.
Okay.
So it's not going to happen.
However, you can work on a halftime show.
And what Sunday proved, this is like Blaze 2011.
What Sunday proved is you can pull people off of that network and put them online and negate that.
Remember, what are they up to today?
About 30 million views online?
I mean, it's a huge, huge success.
YouTube said this may be the largest live audience they've ever had.
Okay?
That didn't put the Super Bowl out.
They're not afraid.
They should be, but not today, not next year, five years from now.
Because I'm telling you, if they keep doing this and they do a good job and the NFL keeps going the direction they're going, what will happen is people will start to get into the habit of going to TPUSA.
And that's when the sponsors say, you know what, you can't charge me what you charge in the game for the halftime show because you're losing 20 million people, 30 million people.
They're just tuning out.
So I'll pay for it, but I'm not paying those prices.
That money doesn't talk.
Money screams.
This was a great first step.
If you're outraged and you just want to bitch about things, he's right.
Stop.
Stop.
If you are outraged and you want to do something about it, find the people who are doing something about it and support them.
That's why I was there on T.
I didn't need to see the halftime show, but I kept that thing on the whole time because I wanted to support exactly what they were doing.
Just find those people.
Whatever it is you believe in, find those people and support them.
All right, back in just a second.
Our sponsor this half hour is simply safe.
you really don't think about your front door until you're lying in bed and hearing a sound you can't quite place, you know, or until you leave a leave for a trip and you have a moment at the airport where you're like, did I actually lock everything?
I don't have this problem.
I live with my wife, Tanya, who I swear to you, every door, every screen, every, I go out to put the garbage out and she's locked down the house and I'm like trying to get in.
I'm like, honey, it's me.
She is, she's, she's, man, she's good with security and locking things up.
She's good at that.
We have great security.
You can have great security as well.

Stock Market Optimism and Retirement00:06:26
Super Bowl is the, I don't know, the advertisement for America once a year.
People watch it all over the world.
And so they're seeing.
Now, imagine what they thought when they saw what was happening at halftime.
What do you think?
What do you think our enemies thought when they saw all these flags and all of it in Spanish?
I would bet you they laughed and went, oh my gosh, they are in so much trouble.
Okay.
But there was another moment.
Power of music again.
Charlie Pooth.
Listen to this.
He did the national anthem.
play just a few seconds of it if you will i i mean i thought this guy just nailed it out of the park And it's the best Star-Spangled banner I have heard since I think Whitney Houston.
One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you feel completely disconnected without ever announcing itself.
You're still in the room.
You're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up.
And sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit.
What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial.
It's the process, doctor appointments, multiple visits, adjustment, a price tag that'll make you wonder if it's even worth starting.
So people wait, even when they know they shouldn't have to.
Audien was built to remove any barrier like that.
Their Atom X is over-the-counter.
It's a hearing aid designed to be straightforward, approachable without prescriptions, no complicated setups, a charging case that has a touch screen that lets you adjust the volume and modes without any buttons or a learning curve.
It's clear, natural sound developed with input from audiologists.
So conversations feel less like work and what they're supposed to be.
Connection and easy to follow.

So there's a new Gallup poll out.
And Gallup is not usually very friendly to the right.
But here's what it says.
New Gallup poll, 50% of respondents say the stock market is set to go up a lot or go up a little within the next half year.
25% said the stock market is set to go down a little or go down a lot.
17% said the market will remain the same.
8% say they were unsure or refused to answer.
I love refused to.
I'm not answering that question.
But anyway, I'm not sure the stock market means as much as everybody else except your 401k.
You know, it's funny, when the stock market goes up, nobody says anything like, oh my gosh, have you seen my retirement?
My retirement, I can actually retire.
I've got, when it goes down, everybody's complaining.
Stock market's gone down.
What's happening to my retirement?
I think we should spend some time noticing as the stock market goes up because I think that's the only way that really affects you is your retirement.
Because the stock market is no longer attached to what I believe, I don't believe it's attached to reality at all.
You know, there's nobody that says, you know, they've had some bad earnings.
And so that, of course, is going to have their stocks crater.
Occasionally that happens, but it used to always happen.
Now things just go up and you're not sure.
The poll also found 49% said the economic growth is set to go up a lot or go up a little within the next six months.
That's almost 50%.
49% say economy going up a little or a lot within the next six months.
36% said the economic growth is set to go down a little or go down a lot.
13% say economic growth is going to remain the same.
And 2% said, I am not answering that question.
Market Detached From Reality00:15:52
How dare you ask me that question?
This is good news.
At least politically, it's good news.
If this is the way people are feeling and it continues to go this way, that's good.
Of course, it's also good news for the economy if it actually happens.
But there is reason to be optimistic.
I'm optimistic for the first time in ever.
I'm optimistic about things because I believe for the very first time we have a president that has a plan and is executing on that plan.
And it is a big plan.
It's not a eat around the edges.
It's the whole pie.
And now he's turned his focus inward and he's looking at Main Street, which he had to take care of Wall Street and the big banks and the WEF and NATO and everything else before he could turn in to Main Street.
But now he's turning into Main Street.
And I think you're going to see some good things.
Also, are you reading, let me bring Jason in on this.
Are you reading people saying, you know, Epstein files?
Boy, Donald Trump sure looks bad in the Epstein files.
Are you hearing that, Jason?
I got one comment from Zachary.
Zachary said that he's hearing that, and he was just curious what that was and what it all means.
And I haven't really seen anything but really exoneration for the president, really.
Right.
I mean, it is amazing that the Democrats even say the word Epstein anymore.
Because I'm convinced the only reason why they brought him up is because they needed to smear Donald Trump, needed to make him look like a pedophile or whatever.
But all of these documents, they show that, nope, he was the exact opposite.
The latest, President Trump, in a call two decades ago to the Florida police chief, bashed his former friend, Jeffrey Epstein, and called Epstein's procurer, Maxwell, evil.
This is now he is a retired cop, but at the time he wasn't.
And the FBI interviewed him, and he said, Trump called me because he was the police chief of Palm Beach, and he said, thank goodness you're stopping Epstein.
Everyone knows he's doing this and nobody would stop it.
The document came to light hours after Maxwell's lawyer turned on Trump or called on Trump to grant her executive clemency so she could speak honestly about what she knows.
Maxwell earlier Monday refused to testify to a House committee.
So she's trying to hold out so she can get a wave sentence or anything else.
And Trump has not been willing to do that.
And I think that speaks volumes, especially when you know he said two decades ago, this woman is evil.
In fact, Trump told him, the police chief, people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting.
Trump said Maxwell is Epstein's operative.
She's evil and you should focus on her.
During the 2006 call, Trump told Ryder that he was around Epstein once when teenagers were present and Trump got the hell out of there.
This is the police chief.
And he said, as soon as we started investigating, he said, we called all kinds of people and said, hey, can you talk to us about Epstein?
He said the only one that returned the call was Donald Trump.
And he returned the call.
like yeah what do you need to know yep bad guy bad guy bad guy i mean how how how do you how do you turn this into he's the bad guy here i mean he is again he's the most investigated man i want you to hear this he is the most investigated man of all of human history There has never been a bigger,
more thorough examination of a man's life.
And I think including Hitler, because they didn't have the ability to do what they're doing now.
They've examined his life every possible way.
They have gone through all of his records, all of his IRA, everything, and you got nothing.
You got nothing.
I think this is, I think the world owes him a giant apology, quite frankly.
You may not like him, but you got to say, every agency, every spy agency on the planet was looking for things on him to either make sure that he didn't win, so he wasn't going to do what he's currently doing to NATO, or Russia and China making sure that we continued to be weak.
You don't think everyone investigated him?
Of course they did.
Like nobody else has.
It's the one time, you know, because he always says, like, nobody's ever seen before.
It's crazy.
It's never been done.
On this one, he's right.
Never been done.
Never.
Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
It's true.
So, you know, give it up on the Epstein Trump thing, you know, especially when Maxwell, he's not, do you know, Maxwell is so dirty, she'd be willing, I guess, she'd be willing to say, who do you want me to throw under the bus?
Do you need, who do you need me to throw under the bus?
And, you know, everybody on the left thinks that that's the kind of guy Trump is.
Isn't it interesting that he's not granting any clemency to her?
She's asking for personal meetings and he won't accept it.
She's begging him, look, I'll give you the testimony.
I'll tell you everything I need.
Nope.
He doesn't trust her.
Go ahead, media.
It's so funny.
Everything you do makes him stronger.
I've never seen anything like, I've never seen a I've never seen Sun Tzu's, you know, what is it, warrior philosophy.
I've never seen it used like this before, where he's just using their momentum.
He just uses that and it works for him.
He knocks him out every time.
I mean, it's, it's, he's just so stupid.
I just don't know why you're doing it.
On tomorrow's program, we have the royal crown prince of Iran who is going to be joining me.
I am quite anxious to talk to him.
His father was the king of Iran when, you know, the Ayatollah came to town like Santa Claus.
And is he the guy to run the country?
I really want to know.
And I mean this sincerely.
I don't know how we could negotiate with them.
You know, they just killed 35,000 people.
That's what we think we know.
You can't verify those numbers, but that's the number that's going around that pretty much everybody agrees on is they scooped up 36,000 people off the street and just killed them.
Holy cow.
How do you negotiate with them?
What do you want?
You want a nuclear treaty with those guys?
Why?
Why?
I'm going to get into that here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
Our sponsor at this half hour is Patriot Mobile.
Every month, a bill shows up that you don't think twice about, automatic, like gravity.
Your phone just works and the payment just goes through.
And nobody ever stops to think, wait, where is that money going to?
And you don't stop to look at all of the charges, the extra charges, and you're like, wait a minute, what is that?
What?
When you're paying for your cell phone, cell phone companies know you don't want the hassle of changing your phone.
They know this.
I mean, it's an amazingly loyal business.
Once you have people on your cell service, they almost never go away because you don't want the hassle.
I'm telling you now, you want to get away from these guys because they're taking your money and investing it in things that are helping destroy our country.
Patriot Mobile is the exact opposite.
They're the world's first and only Christian conservative mobile phone company, and they take some of their profits and they invest it into helping us get stronger.
First Amendment, Second Amendment, all of it.
They're great.
They follow your values.
And you don't have to give up coverage, quality, features, nothing.
You just make the switch.
They'll make it super easy.
Same speed, same everyday experience without the stomach-turning realization that, oh, crap, I'm paying for what?

So let me go back to Trump.
I don't pretend to read minds, but I do read patterns.
And Trump has a very clear pattern.
Historically, it's been this.
Maximum pressure.
Move that Overton window as far as you possibly can.
Visible leverage.
And then a very narrow off-ramp.
Okay.
He doesn't negotiate from empathy.
He negotiates from cost.
This is what it's going to cost you.
And we've seen it with sanctions, with isolation, you know, when he believed deterrence had failed with force, not war, but unmistakable signals that there was a line and he wouldn't cross it.
He drew that line.
That's why you have the biggest force since the Persian Gulf sitting all around Iran right now.
So what is he doing?
First thing he's doing is he's restoring deterrence by making Iran understand that escalation has real consequences.
And it's not because he wants war.
The guy hates war, but he wants to prevent it.
Second, keep the negotiations transactional, not moral.
He's going in, and I don't know if I like this, but he's going in and he's talking about nuclear capability, regional behavior, regime survival.
Those are the currencies that this government responds to.
And then third, and this one really matters, don't own the uprising or the fall.
Okay.
Once the uprising or whatever is going to happen is American directed, whoever you replace is tainted and it's bad.
It's bad.
History tells us when repression becomes brutal and then America comes in, it becomes even more brutal.
So let me address the one thing that I think you might feel and I feel and it's valid.
I don't want war.
I do not want our boys fighting another war in the Middle East, period, full stop.
But I also don't want to encourage people to protest and then watch them be rounded up and killed.
I don't know what to do.
You know, and that's the trap.
Revolt happened and we said, don't cross this line.
Don't kill your people.
And they did.
If you say nothing, are we then, do we have any credibility?
Has he lost all the credibility?
Is he complicit?
Are we complicit in silence?
Because I don't want to do any of it.
I don't want to do any of it.
So the only ethical path, I think the only one, the narrow one that he always is, is tell the truth.
Not with certainty where certainty doesn't exist, but apply pressure that targets the perpetrators, not the civilians.
Keep the information flowing, even when the regime is trying to bury it.
Maintain deterrence without rushing towards war.
So he's going to give them, I think he's going to do what he did in Venezuela.
You have a very narrow path.
I suggest you walk this path.
And if you don't, it's over for you.
The regime, though, has a huge weapon, and it's not an army.
It kills in the dark.
And then we all sit here and argue about the numbers.
Is 35,000?
Did they really kill 35,000?
Well, some people say it's 25,000.
Some people say it's 55,000.
We're arguing about numbers.
The point is they've killed thousands of people.
That's really a big deal.
This isn't about protests.
It's not about nuclear weapons.
This is about death.
It's whether the modern world will accept uncertainty as a substitute for accountability.
Who did you kill?
Who killed them?
Stop it.
Because if a government anywhere can massacre its own people and shut off the lights and scatter all the evidence and survive on the argument that nobody can prove it, every single tyrant on earth learns that lesson.
This is what happened in Turkey with the Christians.
Hitler went in, Turkey went in and killed a bunch of Armenians.
And it was the Armenian massacre and killed them all.
And the world did nothing.
Forget about Turkey.
Hitler said, he saw that and saw the world's reaction.
He said, oh my gosh, you can kill anybody.
You can kill any number.
And the world's not going to respond.
We're teaching people lessons.
I pray that Oman, we're in Oman now.
I don't even know.
Wasn't she?
I thought that was a model.
But they're negotiating in Oman today.
I don't know what they're negotiating for.
Again, again, I don't want war, but I also don't want this.
I don't trust them.
What do you negotiate for?
But I guess we're going for nuclear weapons or something.
I don't know.
We have the guy who is the special envoy for nuclear non-proliferation.
He was the guy who went into Libya and said, you got to get rid of all your WMDs and convinced Gaddafi to do that.
And then Hillary Clinton had him killed.
But he is now the special assistant to the president and the senior director for proliferation strategy at the White House.
The one thing I know about Donald Trump is the one thing that truly scares him is nuclear war.
Nuclear Fears and Narrow Windows00:03:12
He does not want a missile launched because he firmly believes, and, you know, Eddie Jacobson will tell you in her book the same exact thing.
You launch a missile, you're guaranteed the other side's going to launch missiles, and then you're in a world of hurt.
You probably don't make it.
In every single test that they run, every scenario at the Pentagon since the 50s to today, it always ends in total nuclear war.
And so the one thing I know is he does not want any missiles going up in the air because he knows everybody lose.
Everybody loses with that.
So he's serious about nuclear weapons.
But what can we achieve with people we don't trust?
And how close are we to actually, are we going to hit them?
He's not going to tell me that, but I think we can draw our own conclusions by how he has behaved in the past and how he moves things and gives people a very narrow window.
And I don't think they're going to take this window, but we'll see.
We'll talk to the ambassador here in just a second.
You know, buying or selling a home is one of the few times in life where you, somebody who does not make six-figure decisions every day, have to make it like with 10-minute notice.
You're like, I don't know.

Most people do this maybe a handful of times in their lives.

Iranian Resistance and Regime Change00:13:30
He is the ambassador.
He was special assistant to the president and senior director for proliferation strategy at the White House.
He is also known for being instrumental in creating the Proliferation Security Initiative.
He's the architect of the global initiative to combat nuclear terrorism.
He was also the chief negotiator in Libya in 2003 who convinced Gaddafi to give up Libya's weapons of mass destruction.
He has done a lot of really good work.
He was over, I think, in Berlin this weekend.
He was part of or was in the crowd of a free Iran kind of movement.
We are now negotiating today.
The negotiations continue this week with Iran.
I don't know what we're negotiating for, and I thought maybe he would be the guy that could help us with that.
Ambassador, welcome to the program.
How are you?
Sir, thank you very much.
Good morning, and I appreciate the opportunity to be on your program.
You bet.
So tell me what, I mean, here's a regime that just killed 35,000, we think, 35,000 of the protesters.
I don't want to go to war, but I also don't like the fact that they could get away with that.
And then we say, let's go talk about nuclear weapons.
What is it that we are most likely doing and really going for?
Is there something that is a real win here for us?
Sir, let me first say that you're right.
Thousands were murdered in the streets in January.
Tens of thousands more have been arrested and are likely being, in many cases, tortured and will be executed.
What we're seeing in Iran is a true revolution.
I mean, all sectors of Iranian society are involved.
In fact, it started, and I think this is very important.
The demonstrations started with the merchant class in the Grand Bazaar.
And I think that's an indicator that this regime is approaching its final days.
But revolutions, revolutions are very messy things, and they don't unfold in a single direction.
There are episodes of despair, episodes of hope.
What is key here is that this is a revolution of and by the Iranian people, and the fate of the regime will be determined by the Iranian people.
What the United States does is very important.
And as you pointed out, the president has opted, at least for now, for negotiations to see if there is an agreement that we can reach, not just on nuclear, but on ballistic missiles, on its support for terrorist proxies throughout the region, and also about the way it treats its own people.
He was very clear when the murder on the streets began by the regime that the United States would come to the assistance of the demonstrators of the protesters.
But I think he needs to demonstrate to the world that he has tried every single option, peaceful option, diplomatic option.
And I think that's the reason that he is testing the notion that we can have an agreement with this regime.
That makes sense.
That's the first thing I've heard that actually makes sense.
Okay, I get that.
Is there something we could walk away that keeps them in power, but we could walk away and say that's good and we trust them?
Well, I think it's I would just point to a very important editorial in the Wall Street Journal a week ago today.
And it was entitled, The Deal in Iran is Regime Change.
It shows the fallacy of negotiating with this regime, something that we've been trying for over 20 years.
But the regime uses the negotiations to buy time and to gain concessions.
And if the concessions come as they have in the past in terms of resources, they will use those resources to advance the very programs that we're trying to constrain, whether that be nuclear or ballistic missile.
They use it to support their terrorist proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis.
And they use those concessions, those resources to kill their own people.
Right.
And we've done this negotiation.
We've done this negotiation thing over and over and over and over again.
You were probably around, I think, because I think I heard it from you about the enrichment.
No, We can't let them enrich.
You know, you let them enrich and we're going to, but we're going to behave over here.
Why would you give them this level of enriching their uranium?
And they do.
They use it as time and then they violate it.
You can never trust them on that.
Can I ask you, you said revolutions are an ugly thing.
I have the crown prince on tomorrow.
He's just agreed to come on with me.
Is he a viable option, do you think, for Iran?
I don't believe so.
He has really no support, as far as I can tell, on the ground in Iran.
His positions on what form of government should follow are very contradictory.
And he has proposed some of the most absurd actions.
For example, cooperating with the IRGC, the revolutionary guards, or at least sectors or individuals in the revolutionary guards.
The IRGC is at the very heart of this corrupt, this brutal, and this inept regime.
I don't think the Shah's son has any support outside of a very small circle.
So who is the leader?
Where is this going to come from?
I mean, you were in that free Iran rally, 100,000 people plus in Berlin this last weekend.
Who do you think has the ability to take this?
Well, Mrs. Rajavi, of course, was at the center of this rally, as she has been at the center of resistance to the regime for over 40 years.
And the National Council of Resistance of Iran is, I think, instrumental in both regaining support from Iranian nationals outside of Iran, but also in terms of what we're seeing on the streets of Iran.
The organization has on the ground individuals, some resistance units, who are very instrumental in attacking the very symbols of the regime on the ground, in organizing the resistance and in pushing for this regime change.
Again, regime change must come from within.
It can't be imposed by the United States no matter what we do, even though what we do is important if we continue to put pressure on the regime.
But it's from inside Iran.
And I think that is probably the most important thing for us to understand.
This armada that Trump is sending over there is remarkable.
If we were going to hit something, what would we hit that would make a difference?
Well, I think there are a number of things one can do militarily that could make a difference.
There are many options in the cyber world.
The Armada could also be used for a blockade, again, to put pressure on the regime.
And of course, there are kinetic options that could strike at the power centers, whether it be IRGC or their Ministry of Intelligence within the country.
So there are a lot of things that we could do militarily.
But we could also continue to put pressure through economic measures like expanding and toughening the sanctions, pushing for secondary sanctions, cutting off access to the international financial system.
There are political and diplomatic things that we can do, pressuring Europeans and other countries to close the Iranian embassies, to kick out the agents of the regime.
And most important, I think what we can do is push so that the regime doesn't get yet another lifeline through their negotiations.
There is an article, Only a Free Iran Can Prevent Nuclear Catastrophe.
The one thing I know that Donald Trump worries about, really worries about, is a missile launch.
We've destroyed that capability in Iran, have we not?
Because I believe if they ever had a nuclear weapon, they're the kinds of people that would use it because of their, you know, the 12 ideology, if 12vers ever really meant it.
Yes, I certainly agree with you.
I think if they had a nuclear weapon, they would use it.
They would do anything for the survival of the regime.
But the ballistic missile force, even though it was degraded significantly by Israeli strikes in the 12-day war in June, still may be a formidable force.
And it is the ballistic missile force that the Iranians are saying, that the Iranian government is saying will be used if there's any attack on Iran.
But that's one of the reasons that President Trump has assembled this Armada.
And the Armada includes not just offensive capabilities, but defensive capabilities, missile defense capabilities to protect American forces in the region and also to protect our allies.
But we can't discount that the regime won't use ballistic missiles.
They've done that in the past, not with great success, but that's pretty much all that's left for them in terms of their options.
Let's say it's Friday this week, maybe Friday next week.
What do you think?
Where do we stand?
What do you think is probable to happen?
Well, you can already see the next wave of demonstrations and protests.
You can see it in the schools.
You can see it at the funerals for the victims who have been murdered.
You can see it with this call by the merchant class for shutting the shops down next week, actually.
So you can see this happening.
And the regime has only one response, and that is more brutality.
More brutality.
They can't reform.
They can't change peacefully.
And so I think it's for that reason, it's for that reason that the regime, the regime will go away.
It may not go away this Friday or next Friday, but it will be overthrown.
It will be overthrown by the people through the resistance units and through the leadership of which Mrs. Rajavi is an important part.
Ambassador, thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
God bless.
Thank you for having me, sir.
Former U.S. Special Envoy for Nuclear Nonproliferation.
As he's talking about this, I'm thinking about the people that are calling for protest in the streets now.
I mean, we don't want to go to our school board meeting.
We don't want to bring up, you know, something that's going to, you know, oh, start a big war with everything.
Not a war.
We just don't want to have those confrontations at work or anything else.
Look at what these people are willing to do for their freedom.
Imagine 60,000 people.
The government just came in, swept in, or sorry, 35 that we know of.
35,000 people, they just come in at night, break down the doors, they take them, they kill them.
They take another 10, 20,000 and put them in prison and are torturing them.
And then somebody says, I think we should go out and protest.
Wow.
Pray for these people.
Pray for these people.
The Biggest Real Estate Scam00:02:34
American Financing is our sponsor.
Debt doesn't need to be dramatic to be dangerous.
It can be normal.
It can be a stack of little payments that often look manageable one at a time until you all start adding them up and you're like, wait a minute.
I'm working half the month just to stay even.
The interest is quiet, but it's constant and it turns into a treadmill for your income.
Lots of effort, very little forward motion.
When it's like that, the problem isn't that you're bad with money.

Most people think seriously about self-defense, and they're not looking to make that process more complicated.
In an emergency, you're looking for something that gives them control of the situation.
They want an option that buys them time and space and a way out when a situation turns bad without warning.
Burna makes guns, these less lethal self-defense tools.
They look just like guns.
They operate like a gun, except they don't kill people, but they make them in black so it looks like a gun, and they make them also in orange so they don't look like a gun.
And I have to tell you, I think it's probably pretty wise to buy one that is orange because if you're in a street and you pull out something that looks like a gun, you could get shot.
What matters to a lot of people is access.
The Burna launcher is legal in all 50 states, doesn't require a permit anywhere.
It means you don't have to navigate a complicated process or wait on permissions just to have responsible options available.
Go to Burna, B-Y-R-N-A.com/slash Glenn, learn more.

California's Insane Tax Mentality00:15:13
You know, I'm just looking up at the chalkboard.
On hour number one today, I did a chalkboard.
Keith Ellison is a moron.
Maybe I should take that down and put a new chalkboard up.
Gavin Newsom is a moron.
Everyone who is in the government of California, you're morons.
I mean, how do you not, well, it's Common Core math.
You're using Common Core math.

You know, there's something unique that is uniquely American about the Super Bowl.
I'm sorry, the reason why I'm having a hard time with this sentence is because this year it wasn't.
I mean, it was, it felt like Latin America.
It might as well have been a World Cup event.
But Super Bowl, generally speaking, is a very American experience.
And winning the Super Bowl, I mean, you know, you're on the Wheaties box.
Most of those players have come from nothing, nothing.
And they train their entire life.
They sacrifice their body for the rest of their lives.
You win the Super Bowl.
And if you win the Super Bowl in California, then they send you a bill that says, uh-oh, you lose.
Because the Super Bowl was played in California, that means California gets to tax the income earned in that game.
This is going to blow your mind.
Now, most people would go, okay, fair enough.
I mean, you know, whatever.
But that's not what California does because that's not enough money.
California reaches backward months into the past and they claim the right to tax a slice of your entire season salary based on how many duty days you spent in the state.
Okay.
So every day you're in the state, they reach back.
So they're not just taxing the bonus.
They're not taxing the game check.
They're taxing you the entire year.
So if you earn $178,000 for the Super Bowl, okay, that's what you get if you won, $178,000.
You end up owing the state more than that in taxes.
How can you lose money winning the Super Bowl?
Well, California's found a way to do it.
I mean, they are just, I mean, dumb as a box of rock.
Do you think the players don't have anything to say about where the Super Bowl is played?
I mean, yeah, you've got the whole front office, but if all the players are like, you know what, I'm not playing in California anymore, that's ridiculous.
Don't put the Super Bowl there.
Now, the players don't choose the venue.
They don't negotiate the location.
They didn't vote on California tax law.
They just showed up to work.
California calls this a jock tax.
But California takes it further than anyone.
If I work in New York City, I have to pay taxes to New York City and state for every day I broadcast from New York.
Oh, and they check.
They check.
But I have to pay just the day that I'm working.
And if I'm working there and broadcasting there, then I pay that.
And in California, they're giving you the highest marginal rate in the country.
It's over 13%.
And they're thinking about raising it.
So I'm not asking you to cry for the millionaire quarterback.
That's not the point.
The point is the precedent that this is set.
No, no, no.
I'll get to the precedent in a second.
The point is, how stupid is California?
You are driving everyone with money away.
You would tax people, tax them, but you're taking away more than what they won by going?
That's nuts.
Precedent.
When a government decides it can tax income earned elsewhere, just because you happen to pass through, you're not taxing activity.
You're taxing existence.
That doesn't work out well.
Back in the 1970s, it was part of Cloward and Piven.
If you don't know who those are, well, soon you'll be able to find out with Glenn AI, but they're these crazy Marxist professors that they had this theory, hey, let's overwhelm the system and collapse the system.
And then we can have a beautiful Marxist one.
Well, that's what they did.
They didn't get the Marxism, but they collapsed New York in the 1970s because they had high taxes, aggressive enforcement.
You owe us because you were here.
What followed in the 1970s?
Capital flight, businesses leaving, a hollowed out tax base.
Why do you think Rush Limbaugh left?
Why do you think Sean Hannity left?
Why do you think I left?
Why do you think all of these people leave?
We were just the first out because we're like, I'm not paying that because I believe in small government and this is insane.
But when you start to have people who believe in big government go, this is insane.
In the 1970s, the city went nearly went bankrupt.
In France, we know this.
What did they do?
They imposed temporarily a wealth tax.
Well, I mean, I remember watching from over here going, well, that's just as dumb as a bunch of rock because who's going to stay in France?
You move out of France.
Well, that's exactly what happened.
The wealthy didn't pay more.
They left.
And by the time the government repealed the tax, tens of billions of dollars in capital already gone, along with all the jobs and the investment that came with it.
You know, that's the one thing you forget.
Have you ever worked for a guy who is poor?
I haven't worked for a single poor man my entire life.
Somebody who just didn't have any money, didn't pay any taxes because they just didn't have any money.
The only people that are hiring are people who have money.
You get rid of the people who have money.
Who's building businesses?
This is what happened in Rome, late empire.
They took productive citizens and just squeezed them.
Why?
Because they needed to, they were bloating the state.
They needed to pay for the giant state.
Tax base completely collapsed.
Economy followed.
Gone.
There is a lesson in every civilization that has tried this.
It learns this lesson the hard way.
You cannot tax people into staying.
You can only tax them into leaving.
And you can lower taxes to get them to move in.
California is learning this in real time right now.
Six straight years of net population loss.
And what are they doing?
Hundreds of major companies are gone.
Film production is a thing of the past.
Billionaires are moving their resident where to Florida.
And instead of asking the question, what's happening here?
They just answer the same way.
Just tax what's left.
Tax what's left.
That's the danger of the jock tax mentality.
Because once you accept the idea that location alone gives the government the right to reach into your entire life, there is no limiting principle anymore.
Today it's athletes.
Tomorrow it's remote workers.
Then investors, then anyone with assets connected it all to the state.
If, God forbid, that mindset ever goes national, when there's no Florida to run to, no Texas to escape to, that's when it's over, over for good.
I mean, the jock tax isn't insane because it punishes rich athletes.
It's insane because it teaches the government to believe if you pass through our borders, we own a piece of you.
And that idea never has ended well.
Never, not once, ever, ever, ever.
But that's not all California is doing.
Try this.
Valero.
Valero is gas stations, oil, oil refineries, okay?
You know, California, what is it they're already paying?
Let me look this up real quick.
Already, the national average for gas, national average for gas all around the United States is $2.88.
If you're living in a state where you're paying more than that, that's because of your state.
Okay.
$2.88.
California today is $4.36.
Holy cow.
Okay.
Now, that's for a lot of reasons.
But one of those is they make it impossible to refine oil.
You've got to buy everything from out of state.
Nobody wants to do any business with them because they have to have their own special blends, which costs money, et cetera, et cetera.
Okay.
So Valero is a company that will do, will refine the oil the way they want it refined in California.
Okay.
So they decided, yeah, we're not going to do this anymore.
We're not going to do this.
We can't do it.
This is insane.
Now, remember, California is the home of what?
Okay, besides lunatics.
Besides progressives and high tax, I got to, they're the home of high tech.
High tech needs what in the future?
Energy.
They're getting rid of all of their energy.
Now they're getting rid of their pipelines.
They're getting rid of one of the only refineries.
Okay, 145,000 barrels per day.
They were going to leave in April.
They've just said, you know what, we can't take it anymore.
We're out.
We're just going to close it down.
Close it down.
They're walking away from like a billion dollar asset because they can't take California anymore.
They think that gas in California, once this is in effect, they believe gas will go up another dollar to $1.50 because of this one refinery.
And Gavin Newsome, you know what they did?
Well, that's why we're going to have electric cars.
Okay, what are you producing the electricity on?
Because you won't do coal.
What are you producing it on?
Sunshine, uh-huh.
And your tan is real.
I mean, this is ridiculous.
This is ridiculous.
So now, because, and I told you this would happen, because they convinced everybody to get an electric car, they're having an energy crisis.
But also, what have they decided to do?
They've decided because you have an electric car, you're no longer paying that gasoline tax.
So they've just passed a bill where you have to pay by the mile.
You have to pay a tax, a mileage tax.
Okay?
Told you that would happen.
No, it won't.
No.
We're getting rid of the gas tax.
You're going to have, where are they going to?
They have no money.
They have to have the money.
They'll tax anything.
If they can tax rain, they will.
They will.
I hate to even say that because you watch.
They will tax rain because they have to have the money.
There are five cities now in the U.S.
And I swear to you, if the federal government decides to bail these states and these cities out by using my federal tax dollar, I am going to hemorrhage out of my eyes.
I mean, it will be like I have an artery just behind my eyes that's just spewing.
I bleed out in two minutes.
I won't be able to take the federal government saying, we have to bail out Los Angeles over my dead body, over my freaking dead body.
Not going to do it.
I don't care.
I won't pay my taxes.
I won't.
You are going to bail out Los Angeles?
No, we're not.
They did this.
We've warned them forever.
It's why I lived in Texas and why I lived in Florida and not in California.
Okay.
I gave up the beautiful California weather to get beautiful Florida weather by the water, but with 100% humidity, I gave that.
I'll accept that over the taxes because they're insane and they'll never stop.
You want me to bail them out?
No, I won't do that.
What do all these cities have in common?
Los Angeles, Houston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and New York City.
Those are the cities that are going to need a bailout soon because they can't do it anymore.
New York City, the residents there have the highest tax burden of $61,700.
Chicago, $42,600.
Philadelphia, $17,000.
Houston, $4,800.
Cities Needing Bailouts Soon00:03:37
Los Angeles, $1,300.
Los Angeles seems like a dream come true.
New York City has a tax burden for every resident of $61,700.
You're insane if you think that's going to work.
And you know what?
They've just hired a mayor who's insane.
And California, Los Angeles, is about to do it again.
Somebody who is more progressive than the woman who's making out with Karl Marx and Fidel Castro, you know, while the fires are burning out of control, I'm just, I got my tongue down Karl Marx's throat right now.
I can't, I can't fight the.
Somebody who's like, yeah, I agree with her on a lot of stuff, but she doesn't go far enough.
Another Marxist is running, and I bet you they hire her.
I bet you they vote her in.
Ugh.
Good luck.
Don't come to my door and ask me for a dime.
Unless you have Girl Scout cookies, I might buy a Girl Scout cookie.
But some of the most life-changing moments happen in total silence.
Somewhere right now within the sound of my voice, there is a young woman who is alone.
She is staring at a positive pregnancy test, and she does not know what to do because whoever she's with is not interested.
Her mom, her family, not interested.
Her whole world is collapsing as she's sitting there looking at that pregnancy test.
How am I going to do this?
What do I do?
Well, she goes, hopefully she finds a pre-born clinic, but otherwise she's going to go to an abortion clinic and she'll be told that that's not really a baby and everything else and they'll never give her an ultrasound.
But if she walks into a pre-born clinic, they provide free ultrasounds.
So when she is in this panic, she sees the baby in that image.
She hears the heartbeat.
And it turns a crisis into something really beautiful with hope.
And then they surround her with support.
For two years, we will help you with whatever you need.
We will help you.
You're not alone.
That is how we should be.
That's how you solve abortion.

Senate Filibuster Votes00:02:07
Has to be done.
Lots of things that have to be done to clean up, but that's number one.
And Donald Trump is all for it.
Mike Lee and a few senators have been leading it and they have the votes.
Listen to me.
They have the votes in the House and they have the votes in the Senate, but they don't have 60 in the Senate.
And what the plan is from the Democrats is they're just going to say, we filibuster.
And in the way the filibuster works today, it's not like the Jimmy Stewart filibuster.
You just say that and then that's it.
Then, you know, they just go home and they say, you want to end the filibuster?
What you have to do is have 60 votes.
So they don't have 60 votes.
They won't be able to pass this if the filibuster stands.
Now, there are some people who are saying, let's get rid of the filibuster.
No, let's not get rid of the filibuster.
Okay.
Let's not do that.
That's a really bad idea.
But what you can do is something that hasn't been done for many, many decades, but it is completely constitutional, is you can enforce the standing filibuster.
Meaning you have to stand there.
You want to do it?
You have to stand there and talk.
And every senator on your side can stand up and talk twice.
But that's it.
Once you're through everybody twice, then there comes a vote.
And it's not a 60-person vote.
It's a 50-person vote.
We have the votes.
This will shut down the government, yes, for four weeks.
But it exposes the left on who they really are.
Okay?
Wait until I tell you what I found out yesterday.
I regret making any phone call to Washington, D.C. I'll explain next.

But they came for the light.
Yes, they came for the light.
This is for an event I'm doing at Ellis Island on May 2nd.
It's going to be a remarkable event.
Before I tell you any more about it, I got to check with some on my staff because I want to tell you some of the, I mean, it's an amazing thing.
But I don't know if I'm allowed to yet.
But tickets are available at glenbeck.com slash tickets.
And it's going to be a remarkable thing.
And, you know, I wanted to play that as we were talking about the Save Act because what these guys came here for, the people who came here and did it right, they came for the hope.
They came for the opportunity.
They came wanting to be Americans.
Okay.
They wanted to be Americans.
There are people here today that do not want to be Americans.
I don't want those people here.
If you don't want to be an American, why are you here?
To use us up?
To take our stuff?
What?
That doesn't build a great country.
We need people here that want to be here.
And quite honestly, I'd love it to go the other way too.
I mean, if you don't like it here and you're an American citizen, I'm fine with you just beating it.
But, you know, be here because you want to be.
And if you want to be, do it the right way.
Don't come in at the middle of the night.
That's not the right way to do it.
You got to leave.
Leave.
No ifs, ands, or buts.
Now, the Save Act exposes exactly what the Democrats were doing.
Remember, they had made a big deal in 2020.
This isn't an invasion.
This isn't replacement theory.
Remember that?
It's not replacement.
How dare you?
Replacement theory.
You're a racist for even saying that.
Okay.
But it only made sense.
Why are you letting all these people in?
Why are you letting them in?
You're looking for new voters or new workers.
Okay.
This happened over, where was it, in Germany?
I'm trying to remember.
But they brought a lot of people in because they couldn't get people to work.
And they didn't have enough young people putting into the system.
So they're like, let's import a bunch of people.
Well, they didn't learn how to speak German or anything else.
And the whole thing is a mess now.
Okay.
But those are the two reasons why you bring people in like that in mass numbers is you either want workers because your society is dying out or you are wanting a new political base.
You need some new voters.
When it comes to the Democrats, they were for both of those things.
Thus you got the Super Bowl.
That halftime show was saying your era is over.
The American era is over.
That's what the left was saying to you.
It's these people who are now in your towns.
They're now in your cities.
This is your reality very soon.
Well, no, it's not, no, you're not deciding that for me.
I mean, we have gone through periods of mass migration, and it's always tough.
But as long as it's orderly and as long as the people who are here want to be Americans, want to become Americans, then it's fine.
Otherwise, go back to your country.
I hear it's beautiful this time of year.
Go back.
Go back.
The Save Act, because the Democrats brought so many people in, we have no idea the killers.
We have no idea the murderers, the rapists.
We have no idea who's even here.
You also have, I'll bet you when all is said and done, this is just a theory of mine.
I'll bet you one-third of our deficit.
I bet you one-third of it is graft.
That's quite a statement, but I believe that's how bad things are.
That a third of our deficit is corruption.
So you have all these things going on, and you also have corruption at the ballot box.
Now, here's what people like Mitch McConnell are saying: we don't want to do this because it'll be against the Constitution.
No, it's not.
No, it's not.
Can you read Mitch McConnell?
I mean, I knew you could at one point, but I mean, can you process anything anymore?
No, it's not against the Constitution.
The federal government has a right and a responsibility to make sure that the elections are fair and solid.
The states can decide how they do it.
But if you have states saying, we're going to let people vote and we don't even know if they're citizens, the federal government can't allow that to happen in a federal election.
You want to do that, your state?
Go ahead.
Torture state all you want, but not in a federal election.
They have that right to do it.
Okay.
Mitch McConnell is only actually doing that because he hates Donald Trump.
That's the reason he's been an obstacle the whole time.
Because it's personal with him.
Think about the Republic.
Now, this morning, I had a list of 33 senators who have co-sponsored the SAVE Act.
53 senators, Republicans, 38 have co-sponsored, which now leaves 15 who have not.
You need to politely, nicely remind them that this saves the GOP as well as the country.
And even Democrats are 76% in favor of knowing who you are, that you were born an American citizen, and that you have photo ID.
That's the SAVE Act.
That's it.
Now, Mitch McConnell and others who are trying to get this to be more complicated and torch it have just added, oh, and we also need no mail-in ballots.
Well, come back for that one.
You've done all this work to get this.
You have the House and you have the votes in the Senate, but you don't have John Thune.
And to do this, to pull this off, you have to have, you have to have the guy who is the head of the Senate.
You have to have the Speaker.
Otherwise, it doesn't work.
It will not work.
Because here's what has to happen.
It's going to go for a vote.
And as soon as it starts to vote, the Democrats are going to stand up and say, I want to filibuster.
And the way the Democrats have made the filibuster now, you don't actually have to do anything except I want to filibuster.
And then it takes a 60-person vote to end the filibuster.
Okay?
60, a majority of 60.
Well, you can end the filibuster, but you're not going to get the 60 votes now to pass whatever it is they filibustered.
If you do it the old way, you only need 50.
You have to put up with them yapping for a month.
But I think that month shows America exactly who they are.
I really believe there's a lot of Americans who believe that it's the Republicans that are trying to stop this.
Because this is so popular.
They think that they can convince their own people that we're on the wrong side.
But by standing up for a month arguing against this, that's exactly what's going to be exposed.
So I want to thank Tom Cotton, Dave McCormick, Rand Paul, and Todd Young for joining today.
But these are the people that you need to reach out to.
Do we have this up?
This list is now up at Glenbeck.com.
Okay.
Glennbeck.com, and it tells you, you know, where you email, right?
Is it email or phone?
Email and phone.
Email and phone.
He also tweeted it out from your excount at Glenn Beck.
Okay.
So just go to X. You'll find it.
There are, I don't know, 15 names.
This should have every Republican name on it.
And I don't understand.
Like, why isn't John Kennedy on this one?
I mean, I understand Mitch McConnell, but why aren't some of these are a little perplexing.
Susan Collins is not.
But please reach out to these people.
It's going to happen this week and next week.
The president is 100% into this and behind it.
But it is to convince John Thune.
You have to have all of these co-sponsors so he's basically standing alone.
You have to convince Jon Thune that America wants this.
Otherwise, the guy doesn't, I don't think he has any political courage at all.
I mean, I hate to throw stones at him, but I'm just being honest with you.
I don't think he has any political courage because he's worried that, well, this will take time and then we'll be way laid in everything.
No, we only have time for you guys to do your job.
And this is probably the most important bill that I have seen since the Big Beautiful bill.
And I wasn't a big fan of the big beautiful bill, but I was in the end because it was like, they're not going to do anything else.
You got to get some of this stuff in because it has pieces of everything.
It was a very progressive-ish kind of bill.
This one is very clear and very clean.
Save act.
Save act.
Please go to X, go to Glennbeck.com, find these numbers.
Please, this one will make a difference.
I talked to people in Washington yesterday, and I've said, I can't tell my audience to call her right because it's not going to make a difference.
I was assured by more than one, this will make a difference this time because you're trying to convince John Thune.
And I don't think John Thune thinks the American people will really stand up and really want it.
Do not, do not approach in a negative way.
Do not.
You will destroy it.
Do not do that.
Just reach out and say, hey, we need this to end.
And if we can overwhelm the numbers, I think you'll have him.
And then we have saved the Republic and the GOP has saved itself because if they don't do this, why are they worth saving?
Why are they worth voting for ever again?
Honestly.
I mean, I'll go to Elon Musk and say, start a new party, man.
I'm with you because I can't do it.
I won't do it.
Every time they say, well, we need this, this, and this, they give us another excuse on why they can't do it.
This one, they have the votes.
They need one guy, one guy, just to say, okay, guys, it's going to be a tough month, but we're going to stand because this one's important.
One guy.
If you can't get that done, I'm out.
And I will support another party because I'm done.
I'm done.
All right.
Let me tell you about Rough Greens.
There is a difference between a dog that is fed and a dog that is flourishing.
One that gets the calories.
The other one has a shiny coat, clear eyes, steady energy, and alert, happy, has the presence to let you know everything inside is working the way it should.
Most dry food, you know, even the good stuff, goes through heat and processing.
It'll strip away everything, all the nutrition that your dog needs.
I mean, you'll get the calories, but you're not going to get anything else.
What's in the bowl has been cooked in such a way and it's processed that your dog doesn't get the nutrition.
Rough greens, you put it on top of the food.
You just sprinkle some on right on top of your dog's existing food, and it supports healthy digestion, strong immune function, everything your dog needs, including vitality.
So here's what I want you to do.

On tomorrow's program, we have the crown prince of Iran.
He's going to be joining us.
I'd like to get an update from Megan Kelly on Savannah Guthrie.
I don't know.
It's just getting weird.
And I don't even know what to think about it.
I do know what to think about Jasmine Crockett.
She says she calls herself an intellectual.
Here she is in an interview with Vox.
Listen to this cut to.
I've always been someone who has been intellectual.
I was top 10% of my class at Texas Southern my first year in law school.
I was always very much kind of digging in and wanted to understand.
I was always the person that would bring the receipts and wouldn't back down.
So, you know, you're always clapping back.
I was, I was always, I was always, yeah, there was always a pushback.
If I feel like I am right on something, I have always been very clear about that.
You know, I find it interesting that she has a different speaking pattern in different situations.
You know, she sounds completely different.
I mean, I believe she is actually very, very smart, but she plays a role at times where she does not appear to be smart at all.
But she is ahead now in the polls in Texas, at least for the Democrats.
Be careful what you wish for.
Be careful what you wish for.
She is, she's, you know, the one thing the Democrats are good at is being a chameleon.
They can shapeshift like crazy.
They can be whoever they want to be, except for Hillary Clinton.
I ain't no tired of walking.
She's, I mean, remember that?
Oof.
She tried to be a shapeshifter.
She cannot.
She's only one shape, kind of a blob.
But be careful what you wish for because they are good at shapeshifting.
And it's interesting to watch that.
All right.
If you missed any of the show, you definitely want to hear my takedown of Keith Ellison.
Is Keith Ellison a moron?
I think we solved that one pretty quickly.
His statement that came out yesterday about what's going on in Minneapolis shows he knows nothing about the Constitution.
