Glenn Beck, Liz Wheeler, and Alexandra Lavoie dissect the Save America Act's legislative hurdles, Pam Bondi's hearing failures regarding Epstein files, and Canada's controversial handling of a transgender shooter under human rights laws. They critique Justin Trudeau's gun bans, Fulton County election irregularities, and AI risks through a simulated dialogue with Founding Fathers like Washington and Hamilton. Ultimately, the episode argues that selective enforcement, media bias, and unchecked technology threaten republican stability unless transparency and constitutional principles are restored immediately. [Automatically generated summary]
One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is it can 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.
Audion 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.

This isn't a podcast.
This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
Rate, review, share.
Together, we'll make a difference.
And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.
Glenn Beck is on.
Hello, America.
Oh, gosh, we had a lot to talk about.
Pam Bondi yesterday in Washington.
Also, the El Paso thing.
Something isn't exactly right there.
I just, I don't know what is happening.
The House passed the Save America Act.
Thank God.
But we at least got those guys.
But they have the votes in the Senate.
But Jon Thune is starting to look very wobbly.
Is he actually going to stand up or is he going to let it, is he going to let the Democrats call for a 60-member vote?
That's what's going to happen.
If he doesn't use his position to do everything to hold the Republicans together and say, we're going to weather this storm.
We're going to let them make this case for 30 days, but then we get the 50 vote, just simple majority, and they will win.
Does he have the courage to do it?
I doubt it, but we will see.
Also, there's a problem.
I was at an event last night here in Florida.
It was a fundraiser and a Freedom of Speech Award for Real Clear.
And I'm sitting there and I'm talking to a bunch of friends and we're talking about if the Save America Act does not pass, We may never win an election again, and if we don't win an election, these guys are crazy.
I mean, it's a purge.
I believe it's a purge that is coming.
And it builds on something I talked to you about a couple of weeks ago called accelerationalism.
Accelerationism is an ideology and a belief that says society is corrupt beyond repair.
Institutions are illegitimate.
Chaos is an actual tool that should be used.
Violence is the accelerant and it is very dangerous.
And we're seeing it happen.
And I told you about this a few weeks ago when it started, the streets were on fire in Minneapolis.
And I told you about what was happening.
I want to add to that because what is now happening in our halls of Congress is the next step.
And it's the last step.
We should be very, very well aware of this.
And so I'll bring you up to speed on that and all of the news of the day coming up in just a second.
First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
Money talks.
It's not a cliche.
It is a fact.
In fact, money doesn't talk.
It usually screams.
Every dollar you spend is broadcasting something about what you support, what you value, what you're willing to tolerate.
So here's the question.
You ever wonder what your money is saying when you pay your cell phone bill?
You hand it over every month.
You don't think about it.
I didn't think about it.
Well, your money doesn't just pay for the towers and the data.
With a lot of big mobile companies, they make a fortune off of this.
And a portion of it ends up funding causes that run completely opposite to what you believe.
Put your money where it makes a difference in your direction.
Patriot Mobile gives you an alternative.
It's great coverage.
It's competitive pricing.
Plus, they take a portion of their profits and they support the things that you support.
Small switch may not seem like it's a big deal, but it is actually very powerful.

Okay, so accelerationism.
The belief that everything needs to be burned down, that nothing is worth saving.
And I told you that the key change in the last several years is that this is more connected than it ever has been.
Okay.
It's not more disciplined.
It's not necessarily bigger in raw numbers, okay?
But it is more connected.
It's quickly mobilized now.
It's well financed, more capable of spreading tactics and targets and narratives.
Accelerationism.
It's mainstream.
And that changes the risk profile.
The second fact of this, the line between protest and insurgent behavior is now being tested.
I see up on the screen, Tom Homan is now speaking.
I think he's in Minneapolis.
This is the administration understanding perception versus reality, correcting it, telling Tom Holman, you know, put the giant stick in your back pocket for a minute.
Walk in and get this thing done.
And he did.
And he's changing perception, but he's still holding the line and getting it done.
Okay.
Protests are protected, even loud, offensive protests that make you furious, but not violent ones, not ones where you're attacking.
Now, let me add on to this a new set of facts.
Because for years, we have told ourselves political violence was the danger.
Molotov cocktails, riots, burning down cities, broken windows, etc., etc.
And we've told ourselves if we can just stop the street chaos, the Republic would be safe.
That's a mistake.
Because before violence really becomes common, something else has to happen first.
Law has to be redefined.
Not as a neutral constraint, but as a weapon to be aimed.
And you're seeing it happen now.
That's why you can't get people to be prosecuted in some states.
They're using the law as a weapon.
But it has gotten much worse than that.
And you're hearing this, but I want to shape this here so you really hear what's going on.
This week, a sitting member of Congress, Sri Thandar, he leaned forward in a hearing and he told a federal law enforcement official, you better hope you get pardoned.
Wow.
That's a threat.
He didn't say, not, you know, you violated the law and you should be investigated.
What he said was, when power changes hands, we're going to punish you for enforcing the law.
That distinction is everything.
The moment the enforcement itself becomes criminalized retroactively, the rule of law does not merely weaken, it completely flips.
The message is no longer follow the law.
The message becomes, guess who's going to be in charge later?
You better act accordingly.
That is not a democracy.
That's a legitimacy war.
And this is how accelerationism migrates from the streets into the state.
It's no longer just mass protesters or some sort of anarchist group with a bunch of slogans.
It's the core belief that is simpler and far more dangerous.
The institutions are irredeemably corrupt.
Therefore, breaking these institutions is justified.
In the streets, that always turns into burn it down.
But inside the government, and you're beginning to hear it now, it starts to sound like, and we'll deal with you later.
That is nothing I have ever heard ever in my lifetime in America.
And it should chill all of us to the bone.
When lawmakers openly promise prosecutions after elections, they're not talking about justice.
They're signaling veto power, the rule by anticipation of punishment.
Now, let's just say, let's call a spade a spade.
Donald Trump said this.
I'm going to put her in jail.
Lock her up.
And everybody at that time took him seriously.
And we told you, don't take him literally.
Take him seriously.
He'll be a law and order guy, but he's not going to lock her up.
Some people believed he would.
He didn't.
He didn't.
They do believe it.
Okay.
You notice what follows because voices echo the same logic.
Warnings that statutes of limitation are going to be used as countdown clocks.
Public speculation about resurrecting prosecutions once political protection ends.
You better be careful.
You better hope.
The casual talk now, and this is happening, of Nuremberg-style trials for domestic opponents.
Nuremberg trials.
Applause for the idea of prosecuting the former regime at every level.
And anyone who was participating, that means you, that means me, anybody who was on the side of the right, you better look out because when we get power, this is not about one person.
This is not about left versus right.
This is about something far more corrosive.
The normalization of the idea that power exists to punish the previous holder of power.
You're a banana republic.
History is really clear, okay?
In functioning republics, elections decide who governs.
In failing republics, elections decide who gets immunity.
Once that line is crossed, enforcement stops being about lawfulness and becomes about survival.
Ask yourself what happens next.
If you're a federal agent, do you enforce the law?
Or do you hesitate?
I mean, you have to calculate now who's in control of the DOJ in three years.
I don't know what to do.
This is what's happening.
Listen to this.
This is what is happening in Iran.
As the regime is collapsing, everybody who is working with the regime, all the police now have to decide, am I going to enforce what the regime says?
Or am I going to do the opposite because a new regime is coming in?
Some of them don't want to be killed themselves, but are brave enough to say, I'm not going to do that.
But this is an actual state that is rounding people up and killing them.
When you kill 35,000 people in two weeks, that's a state where you should be saying you better watch out because when we get in, we will find you and there will be Nuremberg trials.
Not this.
Let me ask you, if you're a prosecutor, do you apply statutes evenly or do you quietly protect yourself from future retaliation?
If you're a citizen, do you trust the investigations?
Or do you now assume that every indictment is political theater and that's it?
We're in the laboratory phase right now.
There's no tanks.
There's no coups.
When Institutions Fail00:14:56
Just hesitation.
There's going to be growing fear and selective action.
Once selective enforcement takes root, the street movements learn super fast.
They already have.
I'm not going to be prosecuted.
I can burn this city down.
I'm not going to be prosecuted.
And then they begin to realize I don't need majority support.
I don't even need persuasion.
I only need to make enforcement so dangerous legally, politically, reputationally, physically.
I just need to make it so dangerous that if officers actually enforce the law, they risk getting killed by a mob in the streets.
Or if prosecutors act, they risk career death and actual death.
If judges rule, you're going to be delegitimized.
So the enforcement slows down.
Then it fragments, then it becomes discretionary.
Isn't our law really quite discretionary right now?
You're not a country if you have discretionary laws.
And when the law becomes optional, intimidation becomes rational.
And this is how republics fall in a quiet recalibration of fear.
And at that point, violence doesn't need to be widespread.
It only needs to be understandable.
That, that is the most dangerous word in politics.
Listen, have you heard this?
Well, I don't like it, but I understand why they're doing it.
Just make it understandable.
Well, I don't support threats, but look at what the other side is doing.
It's understandable.
Well, this is what happens when institutions fail.
It's understandable.
Understandable is the permission slip.
And history teaches that early phases, the one we're in right now, is the decisive one.
No, they are in the streets.
I can understand why they are angry, but that does not excuse them of this behavior, and they must pay the price.
Okay?
Right now, that's not what's being said.
It's just understandable.
And when prosecutions are still selective, but being promised, it begins to sound like a threat.
When threats are still rhetorical, are they being normalized?
Yes.
And that's when recruitment accelerates.
That's when copycats appear everywhere.
That's when everyone starts preparing for the worst and the preparation itself becomes the engine of collapse.
This has to be dismantled.
This has to stop.
Because you're not going to get freedom.
You're going to get fractional justice.
And it's going to flip until, as I told you, we will swing so wildly back and forth until the real authoritarian steps up and says, this is going to stop.
And they grab power.
And when they grab power, they stop the vote from counting.
We're there.
Understand the Save Act?
You're going to get cycles of revenge dressed up as accountability.
You're going to get bureaucrats who answer not to the law, but to future protection.
You get citizens that withdraw because speaking the truth is too dangerous.
Silence is much easier and much safer.
Just go along to get along.
Don't say anything.
And eventually, you get a country where elections no longer settle disputes.
They just decide who gets prosecuted next.
That's not America.
And I don't think that's an America that the people I know who vote differently than me, that they want that either.
But it will be America if we keep pretending that this is normal.
It is not normal.
The antidote is not rage.
It's not denial either.
It's not cheering when your enemies are threatened.
The antidote is one standard applied to everyone in daylight.
No retroactive criminalization of lawful enforcement.
No moral licensing for intimidation.
No euphemisms when power is being wielded through fear.
Because the only thing stronger than anger on the street, stronger than an activist mob, stronger than politicized bureaucracy, is a public that believes the law is still real.
I believe it's still real.
Fight for that, America.
Wake up and don't let others slumber.
The republic is indeed at stake.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.
Our sponsor is SimplySafe.
Home is supposed to be the one place where you can actually relax, right?
A lot of people lie in bed, you know, hearing every little noise.
My wife says every night, what was that?
I don't know what that was, honey, but it's not somebody coming in.
You know how many cameras we have on the house?
It's not somebody coming in.
The problem is traditional home security used to be a real hassle.
Long contracts, pushy sales calls, wires everywhere, and a system you didn't understand, but you were stuck paying for.
SimplySafe changed all of that.
It is designed to be simple to set up, easy to use, built around your home, not the other way around.
You place the sensors where you need them.
You control it from your phone.
If you want professional monitoring, help is there when you need it.
No long-term contracts, no games, just real protection that works quietly in the background so you can actually feel safe in your home.
And when something does happen, you're not on your own wondering what to do.
You get alerts right away, professionals ready to respond.
They're already most likely have the pictures of the person that's on the front lawn, not even at the window yet.
They've probably already talked to them and police have already been called.
Right now, 50% off any new SimplySafe system with professional monitoring, 50% off.
Just go to simplysafe.com slash Beck, simplysafe.com slash Beck.
No safe like simply safe.
10 seconds.
We have so much to talk about.
Schellenberger had a great thread on what happened in El Paso.
It doesn't make sense.
We have George AI, a great George AI today, that put a council together, describes this council of the founders, and then takes their words.
We ask them about AI regulation.
What should we do?
What would the founders have done?
We didn't explain AI to it.
We just said something that could come in, take power from people, destroy all of the jobs, et cetera, et cetera.
We described in a hypothetical situation because it's knowledge stops at 1820.
So what would you guys do?
And put a council together of Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Washington, I mean, Franklin.
And the quotes are unbelievable.
I want to share that with you coming up in a second.
But I also want to go to the Pambandi hearing, and we're going to go there next.
stand by rapid radios.
You know, we've gotten to this place to where we really feel, um, that we could just reach anybody at any time.
Text, calls, apps, whatever.
It's instant.
It always works until it doesn't.
A storm rolls through.
The networks get overloaded.
You're somewhere with weak service.
Suddenly your phone in your hand is a brick.
That's all it is.
So I want you to know about RAD 1 from Rapid Radios.
This is a rugged, ready-to-go communication device designed for real-world situations where you don't want to guess whether the message is going to get through.
You know, you charge it, you turn it on.
You got a direct way to stay in touch when normal routines break down.
This is great.
I mean, this is great for construction, big, huge projects, but it's great for our farm and our ranch as well.
You're out.
We don't have cell service.
It's out.
Grab the radio before you go out.
You're in touch with each other the whole time.
The new RAD 1 is officially live.

Help us make sure we stay hard to silence by joining at glennbeck.com slash torch.
I want to talk to you about what happened in the hearings yesterday with Pambani, the OJ.
And I want to set the stage with this.
I trust Donald Trump because he has earned my trust.
He has done enough for me to say, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I trust him.
Others in the administration have also earned my trust.
Pam Bondi is not one of them.
And I'm not going to, I will, that's why I gave Pam Bondi a year.
I will lend enough trust that the president, if the president says, would you trust me on this?
Yes.
Until I start to believe that this is actually hurting the guy I trust, Donald Trump.
And I think Pam Bondi is hurting Donald Trump.
Pam Bondi is sitting in the most important position for Donald Trump's voters.
And here's why.
It's not about Epstein.
I mean, that was part of it.
But also another part of it was, look at what they did to Donald Trump when he left office.
Look at how corrupt that was.
I want that cleaned up so that can never happen again.
I want people to pay for what they did if crimes were committed and can be proven in a court of law.
Okay.
But this was also about the grandmas that got scooped up on September, I mean, on January 6th.
This is also, you know, about the guy who did the Hillary meme, the people with a face act.
This is about Donald Trump and how he was treated all the way down.
He said it himself over and over.
If they can do this to me, you don't think they're going to do it to you?
And they were doing it.
So that's why this role is so incredibly important to his base.
And perception is reality.
I can't tell you what's going on with Pam Bondi.
I don't know what's going on.
But the perception is she is a problem.
Okay.
She's not getting the job done.
Don't know what the truth is.
But Mr. President, this is not a hill worth dying on.
You've already done this with the DHS.
You saw the perception versus the reality.
I know what the reality is in Minnesota.
You do too.
And it's one thing to just go, keep going, keep going.
It's another to go, we're going to lose this war if I keep fighting on this hill.
Send Tom Homan in.
Homan is just as strong as anybody you have.
And look at, you changed the game.
You're doing it with Iran.
keep doing it over and over again, but you're not doing it here.
And I think it's because you're very, very loyal to people.
And that is a great trait to have.
But yesterday, she crossed the Rubicon.
Yesterday, when my wife says, what the hell is going on?
My wife does not do that.
When my wife went, what is this?
She crossed the Rubicon.
And here's what she became.
She reminded her testimony reminded me of this moment when somebody else testified years ago.
And you'll remember it.
This is Pam Bondi yesterday in millions of Americans' heads.
Not on our time.
No way.
And I told you about that, Attorney General, before you started.
You don't tell me.
Oh, I did tell you because I saw what you did in the Senate.
Not even a lawyer.
Stop.
Stop.
Who's right?
Who's wrong?
I don't care.
Hear that?
I've heard it before.
Play the clip on Hillary, please.
With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans.
Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans?
What difference at this point does it make?
That was Pam Bondi yesterday.
Let me bring Liz Wheeler in.
Liz?
Hi, Glenn.
How did it go yesterday?
Listen, it's jarring to hear those two clips juxtaposed together, to hear Pam Bondi yesterday.
And after watching her all day and wishing her well, I wanted her to be successful.
I want the Trump administration to be successful.
My concern with Attorney General Pam Bondi was never about her personality, never about her personally, never about her demeanor.
We witnessed something that we knew was true, Glenn, yesterday in the House of Representatives, that Democrats are very bad people.
They're bad faith actors.
They are insincere.
Why We Trust Trump00:08:43
They don't want justice because they had a chance to pursue justice when they were in power during the Biden administration and they didn't do it.
They are grandstanding now.
And I don't care what they have to say.
At the same time, Pam Bondi has not been transparent.
She has not been honest about the Epstein files, which I know that's what the hearing was about to a lot of Trump space.
This is much bigger than the Epstein files.
And she owes the American people answers.
And she did not provide those answers yesterday.
The thing that's most important to Trump space, Glenn, is her record, her record on all of the big things that you mentioned.
I mean, the deep state swamp creatures tried to take out our duly elected president, the man that we chose to serve as commander in chief.
We sent President Trump to the White House because we trust him and we want him to fight for us.
And the deep state had the audacity to look at us and say, we think you are wrong and bad.
And we're going to use, we're going to weaponize the government to try to take this man out and to turn the government against you.
Glenn, to describe the base's feelings is almost impossible because we are so hungry for that justice for President Trump and for ourselves, for the Ukraine impeachment, for the wrongdoings during COVID that were inflicted on us, for when we dared to question the 2020 presidential election, which I think we all know the truth about at this point.
If we do not see justice served from the Department of Justice now, the urgency, the clock is ticking.
We are already down to just 75% of the Trump administration left.
And the radical leftists have told us what they're going to do if and when they take power again.
was just a week or two ago on the Breakfast Club when Charlemagne said, you remember denazification when every former Nazi was prosecuted?
Well, when we're back in power, there's going to be a demagification.
Glenn, we feel urgency.
We need this justice.
This is why we voted for President Trump and we trust him to fulfill this.
And Pam Bondi is failing him and failing us.
And you mentioned one of President Trump's qualities, best qualities is how loyal he is.
And I second that.
His loyalty doesn't just extend to Pam Bondi and members of his administration, though.
It extends to his base who have been so loyal to him.
And we are very concerned seeing zero indictments from Bondi as AG.
And I think, you know, for the American people don't have, and I think a lot of his base, they don't have the long-term vision to understand what he's doing to the rest of the world, how he has reshaped the entire world in a year.
He's reshaping it.
And I don't think they're going to understand that for another five years, okay?
But on this particular issue, they are not looking at today.
They are looking at what does this mean in four years or three years from now.
We've got to have this fixed now because it's going to be very bad if we don't fix it.
I can't tell you the number of people who have said, God help us the day Trump leaves.
God help us because he's able to juggle bowling balls, flaming swords, chainsaws, and kittens all at once.
And he seems to be able, I don't know anybody else that can do that.
I don't know anybody else that can do that.
And he's got to fix this one because he's right about the Save America Act.
If we don't pass that, we don't win another election.
That has to be done.
But also, if you don't fix the Justice Department, if that is allowed to remain weaponized, you lose one election and everybody goes to jail.
I mean, it's extraordinarily dangerous.
And I think Americans understand the Save America Act and they understand the importance of Pam Bondi's role.
And perception is reality.
I don't know what the reality is with Pam Bondi.
She looks very incompetent to me.
And yesterday, unfortunately, she looked arrogant and dismissive.
And it was not good.
It was not good.
She, you know, Liz, name the people that you have seen that have tried to emulate Donald Trump and tried to pull off what only Donald Trump can pull off that are successful.
No one.
He's a unicorn.
And she tried to be Donald Trump yesterday.
And only Donald Trump can be Donald Trump.
With her, it looked really bad.
Looked really bad.
It did.
And I think the perception as reality point is really important.
I ran a poll on my social media last night because if you were scrolling on X or on Facebook, you saw how many people care about this.
Pam Bondi has been trending top on all of these social media platforms because the American people care deeply about this.
And I ran a poll on my account asking about people's feelings about Pam Bondi.
Is it time for her to go?
Do we, you know, do we wait longer, give her more chances?
And Glenn, over 75% of people said it's time for her to go.
And you know my audience.
We have a wide demographic, but it's mostly very loyal Trump supporters and Republicans and conservatives.
These are the people that want President Trump to be successful.
They want justice for all these wrongdoings.
And they sit here like you and me, wondering if on day one of the next Democrat administration, if we are all going to be censored and silenced and prosecuted and thrown in jail because we were vocally supportive of the Trump administration, just like the parents who spoke out against critical race theory and had the FBI go after them during the Biden administration, the Catholics who were labeled extremists, the pro-lifers who were thrown in jail for praying,
the journalists at Project Veritas who were handcuffed because of crack of dawn raids by the FBI because they had the audacity to investigate Ashley Biden's diary, the white people who face discrimination under corrupt DEI practices.
All of these things are going to happen day one of the next administration if we don't, to use a phrase of the president, who is the most consequential president in American history, if we do not drain the swamp.
We can't just move past it and enact good policies.
We have to go back and make sure that justice is served for the crimes that were committed against us.
Actual justice.
I don't want a mob.
I don't want people just rounded up.
I want actual justice.
That's what I want.
And I think that's what America wants.
Liz, thank you so much.
Liz Wheeler, you can find her at Blaze and also you can follow her, just Liz Wheeler.
You know, Trump has the best counsel around him.
I have never seen a cabinet this good ever.
It's better than the team of rivals, I believe, around Lincoln.
I believe this could rival when Washington had Hamilton and Jefferson and Madison and Adams all in the cabinet.
That is the best cabinet I've ever seen.
I think this is equal to that or on that same plane.
The minds and the talent that are around him and every single one of them is knocking it out of the park, just knocking it out of the park.
Marco Rubio said to me, I said, what happened to you, Marco?
I said, I love you.
But, you know, there's sometimes that, you know, we've had disagreements with each other.
I said, what has happened?
I said, you're killing it.
And he said, it's him.
And he pointed to the Oval Office.
He said, it's him.
We just follow him.
He has massive foresight and he's telling us what to do.
And we're doing it.
I don't know what is happening with Pam Bondi.
And the same thing with Christy Noam.
And he's already making moves to correct what was happening with the DHS.
He's got to move on this.
He's got to move on this.
Yesterday was a very bad day.
And I wish I wasn't saying it, but sorry.
That's the truth.
All right.
Back in a minute.
Let me tell you about the Berna launcher.
The Berna Launcher00:03:42
You don't get to schedule the moment when something feels wrong, a situation that shifts from normal to tense in seconds.
And in that moment, you don't have time to think about, oh, gee, what am I going to do?
You should have thought about personal safety earlier.
That's why I talk about the Berna launcher.
It is a non-firearm self-defense option that fires powerful chemical irritants and projectiles.
I mean, it's tear gas.
It is designed to stop a threat without using any lethal force.
It's legal in all 50 states.
Remember when everybody was carrying tasers and then they moved to pepper spray?
Pepper spray, you better be right.
That person's got to be right on top of you.
Okay.
This one, uh-uh, you'd be 60 feet away and you could fire pepper spray and they're going to wish that they hadn't been fired at.
Okay.
Because they're down on the ground for anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes.
Confidence doesn't come from hoping nothing happens.
Confidence comes when you realize I'm not helpless if something does go wrong.
Berno will help you get there.

glenn back will be right back everybody's talking about weight loss injections because you know the results are really dramatic and they work by lowering blood sugar and reducing appetite you You've heard all the hype.
So what if you're looking to lose weight, but you're not interested in shots?
You don't want weekly injections, especially when you hear about some of those side effects a lot of people feel.
Well, that's why doctors created a weight loss supplement called lean, and the results are remarkable.
The studied ingredients in lean have been shown to lower your blood sugar, burn fat by converting it into energy, and curb your appetite and craving so you're not as hungry.
Lean is not really for the casual dieter who has a few pounds to lose before an event or something.

You know, I said this a minute ago.
The administration has accomplished so much, so much.
And there are two problems, and he's taking care of one, and that is the DHS.
I mean, he just, he just played a round of golf with Ron DeSantis, and it may just have been a round of golf, but I'm actually hoping that maybe Ron is going to be called in.
I would like to see him as the Attorney General.
Although, well, no, I think he's very, he's just very good.
Ron DeSantis as Attorney General00:15:14
You know, you watch the people who are called up to the hill, and I've just never seen a group of, you know, people in the cabinet that are just like, they're just, they have just a massive shield around them.
They know how to handle it.
They know how to handle it.
And Pambondi just does not.
And with the DOJ, there's a blind spot there.
And I don't know what it is because I just, I need some insight from him on this because it affected him and his family.
What we're feeling is what he feels.
And I don't understand the disconnect.
And again, it's perception versus reality.
No one knows what the reality is.
And so perception is growing in unhelpful ways.
And maybe it deserves to be that because maybe that's the reality.
I don't know.
But I don't think it's helpful.
All right.
When we come back, we're going to take you to this killing up in Canada.
Canada is a country that is in real trouble.
Next.
If you ever notice how hard it is to find something you can trust, not a trend, not a logo, not a story, just something made well, something made to last, made by people who actually care whether it holds up a year from now.
They're not just trying to sell you something, but they care and they have the same values.
Most clothes, They're not designed to be like they were.
You know, maybe they're designed to be good for a few washes and then they quietly fall apart.
That's why I have a lot of respect for American Giant.
They built their entire company around the idea that clothing should be tough and comfortable, last and made here in the United States.
And they have spent a fortune bringing machines and manufacturing back to the United States.
They work with all-American cotton, American factories, American skilled workers who know what they're doing.

I gotta tell you, Canada is just in trouble, just really deeply, deeply in trouble.
They are farther down this road of crazy than we are.
We're gonna talk to a journalist, the managing editor, actually, of the Juno News.
They're the first ones to actually come out and identify this crazy shooter, crazy shooter, one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern history.
And that does not happen in Canada.
They have all kinds of gun control, et cetera, et cetera.
What they don't have anymore is an ability to speak the truth and an ability to actually their government to take blame for the things that they, I believe, are directly responsible for in this case.
And I'll make that case here in just a second.
But first, I want to talk to the journalists and take you through the entire story here because it's shocking and horrifying.
And more of it will come.
More of it will come if we don't actually stand up and start speaking the truth to one another.
All right, let me tell you first about our commercial sponsor.
It is Real Estate Agents I Trust.
This is my company.
It's designed to help you do the things that I didn't know how to do.
And that is, how do I find a great real estate agent?
You know, 40% of real estate agents are somebody who, you know, the kids moved out and the mom, you know, is like, you know, I've got a lot of connections.
I know a lot of people.
I go in this, you know, I can be an agent.
Well, that's not necessarily true for everybody.
You need the professional.
You need the people who have been doing it for a long time, know how to do it, and are prosperous in these down times.
Our agents are having their best two years ever.
How is that possible in such a down market where nobody can buy or sell a house?
Well, because these guys know how to do it, know how to help, and know how to listen to you.
Find the right real estate agent.
I don't charge you anything for it.
It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
Realestateagentsitrust.com.
We'll patch you in with the right real estate agent for you.
All right.
Let's go to Cosman Gierga.
She is a journalist with the Juno News.
She's the managing editor.
And he, I'm sorry, he is Cosman.
And Cosman, you are the guys who first broke the story about the stupid inability to even say who the shooter was, correct?
Yeah, that's right.
So we got a positive identity on the shooter.
That would have been Tuesday night, pretty late, like at 2 or 3 in the morning.
Essentially, I was able to get in touch with Jesse Strang.
He's now been identified with his legal name, Jesse Van Rootseller.
But I got in touch with his uncle, Russell, and his uncle, Russell, confirmed to me three basic facts.
First, that Jesse was, in fact, the shooter, that he was Jesse's uncle and the brother of Jennifer Strang, who was Jesse's mother, and she was also killed alongside her son, which was Jesse's stepbrother, who Jesse seemed to have murdered in their residence in Tumblr Ridge.
And then the third fact that he confirmed to me was that Jesse was transgender.
Let me play how the Canadian press and the police did everything they could to not truly identify this shooter.
Listen to this, cut one.
That includes the deceased gun person.
Okay.
And then separately, do you know the gun person's relationship to the gun person?
I've never heard that term before.
The gun person.
And then once somebody said, excuse me, this transgender, they turned the press conference into this nightmare of we identify people the way they want to be identified.
And, you know, we don't take to this bigotry in so many words here in Canada.
And it's like, wait, that's not what this story is about.
This story is not about guns or anything else.
It's about somebody who is mentally unwell.
And that may have played a role.
Cosman, tell me about the atmosphere that you live in where nobody seems to think this is a problem or had anything to do with the shooting.
Yeah.
So it seems that the media and the police have bent themselves into pretzels trying to avoid the most obvious fact that this individual was sick, had a lot of mental issues, but also was very heavily into the transgender movement.
So now the picture is emerging that Jesse had all sorts of social media activity involved in all sorts of communities where he discussed his transition at a very young age.
I believe he started his transition when he was around 12 years old.
So he was also seeking hormone treatment, so like changing his hormones to present more female, prevent puberty, etc.
So there was definitely an involvement in like pharmaceuticals.
He was seeking out therapy.
And the police knew about Jesse because he had a troubling background.
Incidents of violence, the police showed up.
You know, there was weapons on the premises.
They took those weapons.
They returned the weapons at some point.
But it's all over the place.
You look online, Jesse's, the picture that's emerging of Jesse is a very troubled kid who was also into this transgender community and spends a lot of time online discussing these things.
And like I said, the media and the police have bent themselves backwards trying to avoid talking about this.
And the reason is because in Canada, we actually added human rights protections to our Human Rights Act, essentially protecting gender expression.
So the police, the media are required to address even killers by their preferred pronouns.
And you see it in these press conferences.
The commissioner, the deputy commissioner of the RCMP, the RCMP is the federal police force in Canada, essentially like the FBI in the United States, is insisting that people use Jesse's female pronouns.
You look at headlines all over the place are calling him a female shooter.
It's outrageous, Glenn.
So let me just read something that he posted in 2023 on Reddit.
Hi, I kind of need help.
Suicidal thoughts, I guess.
I'm 15 years old trying to get HRT for my transition.
As of right now, I've been on a six-month wait list for visiting a specialist in Prince George for a month now.
I'm from British Columbia and I live in a very rural area.
I'm noticing heavy changes in my appearance every month.
By the time I'm actually able to visit, I may have severe damage from testosterone changing my body.
This is extremely stressful.
The weight alone makes me want to die.
The uncertainty, not knowing how the HRT will even affect me, not knowing if I'll ever be me.
But add to it, the slow degradation of my body in front of my very eyes, awaiting this appointment.
It hurts.
I'm genuinely considering taking my own life.
Is there any way, literally any way possible I can speed this process up?
I think another reason why your press doesn't want to talk about this and your government doesn't want to talk about this is this again is a failure of the Canadian healthcare system.
Here's a guy clearly needing help and can't get in to see a doctor.
So, I mean, you have nobody wants to talk about the ideological issues because you can't anymore because of speech control.
Nobody wants to talk about the corruption of medicine and this gender dysphoria nonsense that we have trapped people into where you can't say any, it's all affirmative.
It's got to all be affirmative.
And you've got the failure of healthcare.
And what are they going to do?
They're going to turn this into a gun thing instead of actually looking at the real problem.
Is there any of that that makes sense to you, Cosmo, as a Canadian?
Well, it doesn't make sense.
No.
And it's troubling watching this.
I mean, we at Juno News report on this stuff all of the time, but the legacy media decides to completely ignore it, to call all this stuff like hoaxes and disinformation, disinformation, misinformation.
You have to realize, Glenn, that Canadians at large, the ones who are tuned into the establishment media, are fed a constant stream of pro-gender ideology, propaganda, pro-liberal government messaging all of the time.
That's why we see Prime Minister Mark Carney have huge amounts of support among the Canadian public.
According to recent polls, Canadians are fed this diet of propaganda and do not have access to alternative or independent media coverage like they do in the United States, unfortunately, at least to the same extent.
So yeah, you really see this.
And I would like to mention that British Columbia is really ground zero for a lot of this transgender stuff.
It was a few years ago that they actually threw a father in jail because he objected to his child's, his daughter's medical gender transition, putting her on puberty blockers, and they threw him in jail for contempt of court because he continued to refer to his daughter as a she, as his daughter, right?
Is there any talk about SSRIs or hallucinogens or anything else that this kid was taught?
I mean, is anybody talking about the possibility of even that playing a role?
Yes, absolutely.
So in the social media posts that are emerging, Jesse experimented with drugs.
You know, he talks about using psilocybin mushrooms.
He talks about using DMT, dimethyltryptamine.
He talks about using other drugs and seeking medical concoctions to treat all of his various psychological issues.
So it definitely played a role.
Now, was he on drugs at the time of the shooting?
We're not sure.
We haven't seen a toxicology report or anything indicate that.
How is this going to end?
I mean, how do you see this?
Is anybody going to wake up to anything in Canada because of this?
Unfortunately, the way I think this is going to go is because of the way the media and the police have bungled this issue and have completely made fools of themselves to the general public and I think to the world, they're going to try to forget about this and bury this story as quickly as possible and move on.
Media Buries Gun Ban Story00:04:32
Secondly, I think the Liberal government, based on past decisions and behaviors, are going to use this to further clamp down on law-abiding citizens who own firearms.
So essentially, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced what's called an order in council, which is a form of executive order in the parliamentary system.
It's a little bit different, but he banned about 1,000 different types of firearms.
Now, these firearms aren't generally used in crimes.
A lot of them are just used for sports shooting, hunting, etc.
But he just did this blanket ban, and they're in the process of enforcing a federal gun grab.
Although I will say that police throughout the country are refusing to do the dirty work for the government, but they're essentially doing what they call a buyback program.
But it's a federally enforced gun grab, and they have a grace period.
And once that grace period ends, if you own any of these 1,000 firearms, which you actually purchased legally and owned legally and used responsibly, you can be considered a criminal and they can pursue charges against you for owning these guns.
So I think based on the weapons that were used, we know there was a modified handgun.
I'm not sure what the modifications were or whether those actually were already illegal.
We know there were some rifles used as well.
I think they're going to push to ban things like the SKS, which is, I believe, in consultation for a ban.
They're going to go further with their clampdown on people's rights to own guns in Canada, as limited as they are already.
Cosmo, I look at the world.
I look at America and I think we are on the edge.
And we're in real trouble.
Freedom is on the ropes.
But then I look to Europe and England and, frankly, Canada, and I see you guys just on the very edge.
Do the Canadian people feel that way at all?
Is anybody really awake there?
Yeah, Glenn.
I definitely think there are people who are awake and who are aware of what's going on and the direction.
Yeah, but like I said, it is the constant stream of propaganda that most people are fed.
And it's quite complicated because a lot of this has to do with the way the media is funded.
So a vast majority of the main media companies in Canada take government subsidies.
So in the last decade, the federal government has created all these plans, all these schemes to fund the media directly, which creates a huge problem of transparency and accountability and the ability for the media to actually remain objective as they claim to be when they're accepting federal money to ensure their existence.
Because on their own, they can't survive.
These legacy media companies are going under.
Their stocks are plunging.
And the only lifeline they have is the government redistributing taxpayer money.
And on top of that, we have the CBC.
We fund taxpayers fund the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the public broadcaster, which is a crown corporation, meaning a federal government organization, to the tune of $1.4 billion every year.
And they couldn't even get this story right.
It took at least 24 hours for them to come out with the name of the shooter to identify the shooter when independent media like us, we were already on top of it like the night before.
Unbelievable.
Cosmin, thank you for everything that you do.
You're one of the great journalists and journalism outlets in Canada.
Anything we can ever do to help you continue to stand, you just let us know.
Thank you.
Thanks, Glenn.
Appreciate it.
You bet.

Relief Factor: Gender ID & Pronouns00:03:19
Let me just wrap up this Canada thing.
Canada is, they're refusing to identify.
They want to just keep saying the gender ID, you know, gender ID, gender ID.
We got to make sure that we're giving the right pronoun.
Well, here's the right pronoun.
I'll give you two options, Canada.
Deeply mentally disturbed.
That's a pronoun you can apply.
And it will mean something.
The other pronoun that you could apply is evil.
It doesn't, by not saying that this is somebody that was in transition, you block all of the facts of what that kid was going through, what the changes in his own body, the drugs, the inability of your own health care system to help somebody who said at 15, I'm deeply mentally disturbed.
I'm thinking about killing myself.
If you're unwilling to define mental illness, you're going to see more and more of these.
And it's sad because I love Canada.
I grew up 45 miles south of the Canadian border, just right in British Columbia.
British Columbia is beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
The people are, the culture is great.
I mean, it's just great.
Now, unfortunately, it's turned into Seattle.
Cascadia, Pacific Northwest is coming your way.

Trump's Oil Embargo on Cuba00:14:54
Get it now at glennbeck.com slash torch.
So Cuba is, Donald Trump's trying to collapse Cuba, and he just might do it.
He has put an oil embargo on Cuba that is shutting everything down.
Planes, I mean, Russian planes aren't going.
Nobody is going to Cuba because they don't have the fuel to refuel the jets and to run their society.
It's going to be really, really nasty.
I'm going to go back up to Canada here for another story because our media, I think they just agree with Marxism.
So they never cover what's happening in Cuba.
And when they do, it's like, have you seen their health care?
It's wonderful.
It's free.
Yeah.
Have you seen their health care?
Anyway, and the only company up in Canada, there's only a handful that would do a story and show you the truth and go down and actually reveal what the average people are saying and doing is Rebel News, good friends up in Canada.
Canadians, so you know, look at Cuba as a place to go for cheap vacations.
You know, and they stay in these resorts and they're not, nobody's talking to them about, you know, socialism and you don't see it.
You don't see it.
You see this, oh my gosh.
Remember, what was her name?
Kardashian was like, I just love Cuba.
They've kept all these old cars.
Yeah.
Is that what they did, Kim?
They just kept them because they thought they were quaint.
Oh, my gosh, what an idiot.
Anyway, the author of this report that is out right now, it just came out, I think, last week called, let me see, where is it?
Truth About Cuba.
You can get it at truthaboutcuba.com is Alexandria Lavoie.
I'm not French and I butcher names, so I hope I have that right, Alexandra.
Welcome to the program.
Thank you so much for having me.
Yeah.
Okay, you don't have to laugh that hard.
I mean, I know it's funny.
I know, I'm sorry.
It's just because people.
No, I know.
All right.
So tell me about what you've experienced in Canada and what the people of Cuba actually said.
Yeah.
And this is something that is different with the U.S.
The U.S. cannot really travel for vacation in Cuba.
But for Canadians, this is one of the most important vacation place.
I would say, I think for just Quebecers, because I'm French-Canadian, we represent more than 40% of tourism in Cuba.
So that is a really important part.
And a lot of them, they are traveling over there.
They have no clue of what is happening outside of resorts.
They think that they are going over there.
They are spending their money.
And by doing this, they are helping the people over there.
But no, that's not a reality because the money that is actually going into the resort, into the hotels, are not going to the people over there.
There is two realities on the ground in Cuba.
There is the hotel and government workers, and there is the others.
The hotel workers and the government workers, obviously, they are pro-regime.
They are supporting what is happening because they are the ones that are the richer.
They can go to markets, buy everything that they want, there is no problem.
But on the other side, you have like doctors, teachers that cannot even afford having eggs and meat.
They literally have nothing.
The grocery store, the drugstore, they are all empty for those people.
They have access to absolutely nothing.
And you can see that capitalism is good when it comes to the regime, but when it comes to the normal people, they apply communism.
Literally, they have to beg into the street after they finish working because they cannot even give milk to the kids.
We actually went there.
We filmed discretely, so most of the people didn't know that we were filming them when they were talking with us.
They showed us around, they brought us inside of their home.
They actually explained exactly how life is in Cuba.
And I did travel a lot in my life, okay?
I traveled for more than 10 years.
I've been to more than 70 countries.
I can tell you that Cuba, it's one of the poorest country I visit in my life and the most dirty at the moment because garbages are just pilling up because the regime is saying that they don't have fuel to go and pick the garbage up.
So what is the average person telling you about what Trump is doing or the U.S. pressure?
Is that a good thing or bad thing?
How are they perceiving this?
Most of them, they are waiting for U.S. help.
They want it.
They want foreign intervention.
They say that they cannot do it by themselves because speaking out against the regime is five to ten years in prison, going to 30 years, depending on what you're saying.
So they are not going to rise up.
Literally, they are just waiting that something will happen as Venezuela because they knew that by doing something to Venezuela, that will directly impact them because of the fuel, because of lots of different things.
And when I mentioned Donald Trump, there is so many people literally started smiling and say how much they love that man and how much they are waiting for something.
I was kind of surprised that some people say that they want Marco Rubio as president.
Yeah.
They are aware of what is happening and they are literally requesting help from the United States.
So international flights are starting to be canceled.
What happens next, do you think?
I think more and more we will see more pressure.
I saw this morning that Russia is planning to send fuel and oil in Cuba.
I don't know if the United States will let that happen since they are pressuring all Latin America countries to not send anything to Cuba.
Because what the U.S. wants to do, they want to have a discussion and an agreement of regime change and also to reopen the market in Cuba.
And by letting foreigners like Russia or China interfering with that, I don't think this is going to go well.
What is the perception of America in Canada?
You know, the things that we're doing.
I mean, you know, many of us here in America see how he is reshaping the world.
And honestly, they're going to build statues of this guy in all of these countries that are suddenly war-free or free for the first time.
And in America, you know, he'll be lucky to have a street corner named after him and probably in places like Canada too, because they just, you know, he's just been made into a dictator.
What is the perception of us and him in Canada right now?
Oh, but you need to know that I think Canada is a country who has the highest level of people suffering from derangement syndrome.
There is so many people who literally freaked out when they hear about Donald Trump or anything that he's doing without actually looking at the action.
They are just looking at the man itself and what he's saying.
Obviously, like sometimes he's making joke about Canada.
So you need to not like jump to the conclusion right away.
But there is some people that cannot differentiate between jokes and what he's just saying.
Obviously, there is a part of Canada who is supporting what the U.S. is doing, especially with the regime change in Iran, regime change in Cuba and in Venezuela.
But there is some people who really like hate profoundly Donald Trump.
And this is mainly because of the mainstream media.
We have the same problem.
We have like really leftist media who is being paid by the government.
So they are being subsidized by the government.
99% of our media is being subsidized in all kind of form of subsidies.
But yeah, there is some people who are supporting Trump and there is some people who really hate him profoundly and especially with like Minnesota and what happened with ICE.
And I would say like Canada is turning into like we need what Donald Trump is doing in the U.S. because Canada will be lost in a couple of years from now.
Our immigration is out of control.
Crime rates is just rising rapidly.
There is so many stuff that is happening in Canada, so many fraud, corruption.
And we need to do something like as soon as possible.
I have actually a really huge story that's coming up exposing terrorist-linked people living in Montreal.
So stay tuned for that.
But yeah, it's something that we have now in our street and we need to deal with it because some of them receive citizenship.
We just don't know who are these people.
And instead of looking at our own problem, no, they look at in the US and they freak out about what Donald Trump is saying, but they close the blind eyes on what is happening in Canada.
This is a reality of Canadian that doesn't care about their own country.
They just care about what your president is saying.
Alexandra, thank you so much.
Thanks for all your reporting and everything you guys do at Rebel News.
We really appreciate it.
I don't think we would know what was really going on in Canada without you.
Thank you.

All right, let me tell you about pre-born.
There are moments when a woman facing an unexpected pregnancy feels like she is absolutely alone and the world is closing in on her.
Fear gets super loud.
Pressure comes from every direction.
And in that state, life-changing decisions are made this fast.
And they're usually made alone.
That's why pre-born exists.
They connect women with local clinics where they can receive a free ultrasound and compassionate care from people who simply want her just to slow down, breathe, and then see the life that she's carrying around.
And ultrasound changes everything.
It turns fear into a face, a heartbeat into reality.
And this is about making sure she knows she's not alone in the world.
And usually she turns around.
A chance of life more than doubles.
And she sees, wow, that is a miracle inside of me.
It's a baby.
Pre-born celebrating 20 years of saving babies now.
There is 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 even have one, nor can they afford one.
If you have the means, would you consider a tax-deductible gift of $15,000 to save countless lives?
$15,000 buys an ultrasound machine.
20, I think it's 29, 25 bucks, pays for the actual tech to run it and everything else.
So if you can help out at any level, just dial pound250, say the keyword baby, or go to preborn.com slash back.

Glenn Beck is back after this.
Thank you so much for listening.
At Glennbeck.com slash contest, you will hear a couple of songs.
You'll hear this one in French.
It's an original piece written from the point of view of somebody who is honest in France, sees what is happening in their own country, and looks at the Statue of Liberty and says, Mother, wake your children, remind them who they are to stand up and be brave.
They Came for the Hope00:04:38
And then there's another song about Ellis Island and about why people came here in the first place.
They came to be Americans.
They came for the hope.
Here's a little piece of this.
This is a male and female duet.
This is called They Came for the Hope.
And it's a duet.
And we would love to have people try out.
You can try out for the male or female.
Or if you're already a duet, all you have to do is go to glennbeck.com slash contest.
This is going to be performed.
Both of these songs will be performed live at Ellis Island.
I wish I could give you the details.
Hopefully I'll be authorized to give you details on what exactly is happening that night, but this is a massive night.
And I wanted to, look, I can hire people to come and sing this, but I would rather, you know, my whole, if you will, last phase of my career is to empower you.
I want to empower people.
I want you to know, I mean, I wrote down today, do not doubt that God hears you.
You were chosen.
He loves you and he is answering your prayers right now.
I wrote that down.
And usually I don't put something at the top of my list of things just to remind me of you and what I think you need to hear through prayer.
And I don't know if that means anything.
Maybe it's for you.
He's answering your prayers right now.
I was so moved by that today.
But I want to empower people.
And so I want somebody from the audience that has the ability to sing and wants the opportunity to sing.
This is one of the biggest opportunities you will be able to have.
Just go to glennbeck.com slash contest, send it to somebody who you know can just knock it out of the park and have them apply and audition online.
All the details are there.
It's happening again, May 1st.
We start judging people for this contest next week.
So apply now.

Eric and Meat delivered.
Hello, America.
You know, life, it's easy to say, oh, this is black and white.
It's black and white.
Right Versus Almost Right00:15:45
The decisions are black and white.
Sometimes they are, but only towards the end when a society has gone so far off the rails that the decision is clearly right or wrong, black or white.
But most of the time, life is not about right or wrong.
It's about right versus almost right.
And if you keep making the almost right decisions and keep choosing almost right, in the end it becomes wrong and black and white again.
And we're going down that almost right road we've been going down for a long time.
And that's why some things are so clear to some people because it's back down to right and wrong, good versus evil.
But my job is to try to help you understand the right versus almost right, as well as right versus wrong as I try to figure it out myself.
So let me take you through a couple of stories here and see if we can figure them out together.
One is a 250-page report from the Election Oversight Group that's been examining what's happening in Fulton County, Georgia.
And, you know, I know this has been in the news, but I went through the whole report and what it describes is it goes way beyond clerical errors.
And we've got to get this one right.
So we're going to go there in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.
Most dog food is designed for shelf life and convenience, not necessarily for helping your dog feel the best over the long run.
It fills the bowl, you know, gives them, you know, the calories they need.
But you, over time, will notice that they're not the same.
And you'll just write it off many times as just they're getting older.
But it's not always they're getting older.
Sometimes they've been eating this processed crap without any nutrition in it for so long that their body is just given in.
This is where Rough Greens comes in.
It's not a new food.
It's a nutritional supplement that you sprinkle right on top of the food you're already feeding.
And it's designed to help replace some of the vital nutrients that are lost in processing and high heats to make that shelf stable kibble food.
You don't have to change their diet or fight them to eat something new.
You just add it in.
And over time, you may notice more energy, healthier looking coat, a general spark that tells your dog, wow, they're feeling good again.
Don't change your dog's food, just add Rough Greens.

Okay, so this 250-page report has come out from Election Oversight Group.
The reason why I want to talk to you about this today is because of what happened with Pam Bondi yesterday.
And I, honestly, I need some new insight on this because I just don't know where to go with this Pam Bondi thing because I thought it was not good yesterday.
I just don't think she's capable of fixing the errors that have just piled up.
And we have to fix the DOJ.
It must be fixed because there's too many important things that are riding on it.
One thing that they are doing that is right is the Fulton County, Georgia situation with the election of 2020.
The morning after the election, that's just to remind you, Georgia's Secretary of State went on national television and said 4.7 million votes had been cast.
He said only about 2% remained to be counted, which is roughly 94,000 ballots.
And he said at this moment, the margin is decisive.
Even suggested if one candidate won 100% of all of the outstanding votes, it's not going to change the outcome.
But when the final tally first came in, the total wasn't 4.7 million votes that had been cast.
It was 5.023 million.
Okay, wait.
Wait, what?
And in Fulton County alone, the absentee ballots reportedly rose from 74,000 to more than 148,000 between election night and final certification.
Where did that come from?
And that's why this shift happened, reversed the apparent outcome of the state.
And that's why Donald Trump was like, wait a minute, cheating is going on.
The report now states, no known explanation has been provided to justify the surge.
Pause.
If the numbers change by that magnitude, after officials publicly declare with near final certainty, then again, we've got to get it right.
Not almost right.
We need it right.
We don't need defensiveness, dismissal.
We need clarity.
The report then goes into the chain of custody.
Okay, listen to this.
Investigators found that 148,000 absentee ballots were accepted and counted without first performing mandatory signature verification.
Tens of thousands allegedly arrived at State Farm Arena in unsecured mail carts.
Wait, what?
Do you know what chain of custody is?
Chain of custody is really important.
It's not a partisan phrase.
It is a basic legal principle.
Chain of custody comes into play a lot of times in criminal trials, also financial audits.
When you gather evidence, you have to know who had that evidence.
That's one of the problems with the Epstein files.
What's the chain of custody?
You had all the evidence.
Whose hands were on that?
You have to know.
And if the chain of custody breaks, then you can't rely on that being reliable anymore.
You can't count that as reliable information because you don't know how it got from this place to the next place.
Okay.
The next thing they found was the missing tabulator tapes.
This is really important because election law requires daily zero tapes.
What that means is it's a check to prove the machine starts at zero.
It requires closing tapes to document the total at the day's end.
Okay.
So it proved it was at zero, and then it proves that this is the number of votes that came in.
According to testimony cited in the report, more than 100 required tabulator tapes representing about 315,000 early votes weren't signed or weren't signed properly.
State investigators say they couldn't locate the required zero tapes for early voting on mini machines.
What?
You can't what?
Now, the report concludes that the statute requires accounting and chain of custody records, but they don't exist in the entirety of early voting.
Okay, well, that's a really big failure.
Then the last problem is the math problem.
The math problem, the county records reportedly show 148,318 absentee ballots counted.
Yet, again, this is going to be hard to do.
I'm going to give you time so you can work out the math on this.
You had only 125,785 voters.
148,000 votes cast, but only 125,000 people showed up to vote.
So, what?
That's a pretty big gap.
More than 22,000 ballots in a race that was decided by 11,779 votes.
After multiple certifications, the counts didn't match one another.
Now, here's where this becomes serious, way beyond politics.
Philip Stark, he does stats.
He's from Berkeley.
So I would say he's probably not a conservative.
He came in and he reviewed all of the aspects of the process.
Here's what he didn't do.
He didn't say this is widespread fraud, but he did say there are real reasons to distrust the election outcome.
He found machine counts and audit tallies disagreed substantially, even about the number of ballots that were cast.
He wrote that some ballots, listen to this, appeared to be included at least twice in the original counts and multiple times in recounts.
He warned that unreliable ballot marking devices could make recounts a little more than security theater.
Those are his words, security theater.
That's a little devastating to the trust in the Republic and our vote.
Because here's the truth.
Republics don't crash when one side loses.
Republics collapse when half the country believes the referee is unreliable.
And that's what's happening.
We don't believe the referee.
This is why the position of Pambondi is so important.
And she seems to be doing a good job on this one.
Because historically, 1876, this, I mean, we just recovered from the Civil War, and we almost lost the union post-Civil War in 1876, Tammany Hall, New York.
It operated on ballot manipulation.
Reformers came in and they forced structural transparency.
Because there it was, it was all garbage, all of it, and everybody knew it.
Nations in Latin America, eastern Europe.
Why do they spiral out of control?
Because their ballot was imperfect?
No, they spiral out of control because the citizens lose faith and trust that ballots even mattered.
The flame of liberty.
To have a flame you need oxygen.
Confidence is the oxygen that brings the flame of liberty to life.
Without it, everything suffocates.
This is why the Fulton County thing matters so much.
It's not about proving somebody right or proving somebody wrong.
It's not about relitigating personalities.
I mean they actually said to Donald Trump, what difference does it make?
It's not going to change the election.
No, it's not.
But we must know what happened so it doesn't happen again.
Are people this stupid?
I think not.
And then I go out and I talk to some people and i'm like, oh my gosh, they are this stupid.
This is about answering questions completely transparently and publicly.
If the system is sound, it needs to be proven in daylight.
If procedures failed, they have to be fixed openly.
If records are missing, we need to know why they're missing and then correct the structure or arrest the people.
So it can't happen again.
Because if Americans conclude that outcomes can shift without clear documentation, if chain of custody is just shrugged off on I don't know this paperwork, what difference does it matter if audits contradict themselves and then we're told, don't dwell on that, it's an audit.
What do you mean?
Don't dwell on that?
Of course I dwell on that?
I have to dwell on that.
It's an audit.
Imagine going going to the IRS and they audit you and they come back and they say your numbers aren't right.
And you're like, don't dwell on that, don't dwell on those numbers.
Of course they're going to dwell on that.
It's the numbers and math is math, and if you can't fix those things, then elections stop being the peaceful transfer of power, and isn't that what we're all afraid of?
Isn't what isn't the left afraid of that and isn't the right afraid of that?
That one time somebody's not going to believe the election and they're going to seize power.
You want to stop that.
Then you must have an accounting on what happened in Fulton County, because if you don't, it's permanent suspicion, and once suspicion replaces consent.
We're no longer a self-governing republic.
Our founders were so super smart.
They did not design a system based on blind trust of officials or the government.
They in fact developed a system that had checks and balances everywhere, and the last check and balance is in your first amendment.
I have a right to protest, I have a right to question the government, I have a right to demand answers from the government.
It's my right, it's the first right, and, on top of that, my religion can compel me to answer those questions and I have a press that can ask those questions.
It's the press is meant to question the government, not the people.
All of it has to be a verifiable process, paper trails, public counts, checks and balances.
I wanted you to hear this from me because this report came out, 250-page report from the Election Oversight Group, and I didn't hear an awful lot.
And I don't know if people understand why this is so important.
If we don't restore confidence one way or another, then every single future election is It's going to be fought not just at the ballot box, but in the mind of the citizens who no longer believe that the box is even secure or valid.
And that is a far more dangerous place for a nation to be than anything we're in right now.
So if I hear one more person say, what difference does it make?
It's not going to change the election.
Here's the difference.
The question is whether Americans can trust how we decide.
And if we can't answer that clearly, convincingly, and with records that we can show one another, then the damage does not belong to the Republicans.
The damage does not belong to the Democrats or the Independents.
Trust the Republic Itself00:06:00
It belongs to the Republic itself.
Back in just a minute.
Let me tell you about our sponsor.
Our sponsor is American Giant.
Clothes made in this country, I mean, they used to be the best.
They used to be made to last.
They were built with the idea that you'd wear them for years, not just a season.
Now a lot of what you find is fast, cheap, and designed to wear out really, I mean, just in time for you to buy it again.
American Giant takes an entirely different path.
They set out to make high quality, durable clothing right here in the United States.
They were on bring manufacturing home to America long before, I mean, long before Trump was even in office the first time.
They were trying to do that, and it was almost impossible to do it.
This is not throwaway fashion.
This is something that you rely on year after year after year, and you didn't actually pass.
I mean, the thing I love most is when my daughter comes into my bedroom is like, dad, can I wear one of your sweatshirts?
I love that.
I love that.
I've given her sweatshirts so she can take them, you know, out now that she's living on her own.
And they're going to last forever.
And I know she'll want them to last forever because it'll, hopefully she will, because it'll remind her of me.
American Giant makes that sweatshirt.

I'm not going to be able to play.
Let me play a little bit of this.
Let me play just a little of this.
We aired this a couple of years ago about a baby, baby Sparrow was the name.
And here's just a little bit of it.
We did what anyone else would do.
We said, hey, we've gone and gotten legal responsibility in the United States because we believe she was foreign.
We believe she was an orphan and she does not have any family.
And she has the opportunity to fly to the United States before the Taliban take over.
Send her.
And this guy told me maybe a dozen times that he wasn't responsible.
He thinks it's a great idea.
He's going to go advocate for her.
Like, thank you.
You're so kind.
Like, my dad's responsible.
And he said he was responsible to the Taliban for her.
Okay.
This was a story.
We did a podcast about a little girl we call Baby Sparrow, they call her, recovered by some of our soldiers in Afghanistan, which both of her parents, biological parents, were likely foreign fighters, and they were killed.
And to ensure her survival, the American soldiers took the baby because the others would kill the baby.
They needed to kill the baby.
That's what the Afghan fighters on our side were saying.
You got to kill them or they're going to be raised up by radicals and then they'll kill us, you know, and then the next generation.
Two American parents stepped in, Joshua and Stephanie Mask, and they were on with us to tell us their story.
And this whole thing became very inconvenient for the State Department under Biden because of the terms of our peace agreement in Afghanistan.
And so this couple was doing, they were doing all of the right things.
They brought Baby Sparrow in and they made her part of the family.
DOJ got involved.
This is all under Biden.
It just was horrible, horrible.
And they have been fighting in court their own government now for a long time.
Well, we got a call this morning from the Mass family telling us that they had just found out they just won their case in Virginia.
Their daughter is not going to be sent back to people from the Taliban in Afghanistan.
She's going to stay here with her family after years of being raised.
The only mom and dad she now knows are the American soldiers that brought her home to Virginia.
So she's staying with her family.
And they said, because of what this audience has done getting the word out on this over a year ago, they wanted you to be the first to know.
They are so grateful for you and support that you have given the Mass family all the way through.
In a case of corruption and terror, love and family has won.
Baby Sparrow won and is staying here in America.
More in a minute.
We've all seen how fast normal things can fall apart.
Major storm hits, the grid strains, suddenly thousands of people are sitting in the dark hoping the power comes back soon.
And even when it does, your electric bill reminds you how expensive normal has become.
That's why so many people are looking at off-grid backup power.
And may I recommend the Grid Doctor 3300 solar generated from my Patriot supply?
Now, this is not like a gas generator.
It is silent.
It is safe to use indoors.
It doesn't depend on the grid at all.
It's about having power when others don't.
It's not being at the mercy of the outage.
When the lights go out and everyone else in your home is freaking out, you can say, hang on just a second, I got it.
And the lights come on and everything is functioning.
You're going to be glad you did yourself a favor for you and your family and prepared with this.
If you go to preparewithglenn.com today, you can order a Grid Doctor generator.
You'll get over $800 in free preparedness gifts, including four-week survival food kit, water filtration, cook stove, and so much more.
They're calling it the Mount Rushmore of preparedness.

Last night I was at a Real Clear fundraiser where they gave Freedom of Speech awards.
And they gave them to this great comedic writer out of Great Britain.
He wrote the I.T. Crowd and others, if you watch British television at all.
And very, very funny guy who was here in America and said, you know, anybody who, any guy who claims to be a woman and walks into a restroom, I understand why you feel violated.
That is a violation.
He's not a woman.
He's a man.
And women, if I were you, I'd punch him in the, you know what?
The joke is punch him.
You kick him, but no, he's saying men are so much bigger than women.
That was the joke.
Well, he's flying back.
He tweets that, puts it on X while he's here in America.
And he flies back and they arrest him at the airport.
Come on with guns and everything.
And he's like, is ISIS on board?
And then they look at him, you follow us, sir, and they arrest him.
And he goes to jail for that.
Okay.
Well, that's only made him more prone to say things.
And they've just destroyed this guy's career.
Charlie Kirk got one as well for all that he did for freedom of speech.
And then the other was Alan Dershowitz.
And Alan, I disagree with Alan on so many things, but I love having the conversation with people I disagree with.
And they were going back and forth on the stage last night.
And, you know, Alan was saying, you've got to respect people, what they want to be called on their pronouns.
And unfortunately, nobody on stage had the right argument against that.
At least I think I was like, no, you have the right to call yourself anything you want.
I'm a woman.
You can say that, but you cannot force me to live in your lie.
Okay?
You're not.
And it's scientifically proven you're not a female.
You're a male.
Science.
Okay.
And so you could disagree with science all you want.
And in the end, like, you know, we found with Galileo, in the end, you might be right.
I don't think you're going to be on this one, but you might be right.
But you have to be willing to stand alone.
You cannot, in a free society, you cannot force people to say things that they don't believe.
It's just not right.
Anyway, so we're having these conversations and so many people came up to me last night and they were talking about the AI story that came out yesterday.
I met a guy came up to me and he said, I was just about to send you this article about AI, what this guy said about what's coming with AI.
And he said, and then I turn you on and you're already quoting it and you're already talking about it.
And I said, I know, it's frightening, right?
And we had a long conversation about what that means.
And what he was saying was the average person needs to wake up.
He was Claude's, the guy who helped design Claude, right?
I think.
And he said, he just resigned this week and he wrote a letter and it was a little light on the actual scenarios.
But he made it very, very clear.
This thing is not what you think it is.
He's like, people think that this little toy, it's ChatGPT and it does this and people will say, oh, well, you know, it gets this wrong all the time.
He's like, you have no idea what is, you have no idea what's coming.
And he explained it.
And he talked about in the next five years, 50% of jobs will be lost.
Whether that's true or not, I don't know.
But you should read this because it was really disturbing.
And so we're arguing about how do we deal with this.
And so today on George AI, which is the proprietary library from the American Journey Experience, Wall Builders, David Barton, and my private library.
All of us combined everything we have on the founders.
It's an enormous library.
And we put all of their writings, all of the things that influenced them from the time, anything we directly know influenced the formation of our country with the founders.
We put it in their own words.
It has to be firsthand.
It cannot be something that some scholar said, you know, 100 years later.
It's firsthand at the time.
And put this all into this proprietary system.
It's not chat GPT.
And it cannot go out and find anything else.
It knows nothing past 1820.
And so I wanted to ask it today about, in fact, it was an idea from, I think, an insider that is a Torch member.
They wanted to know what would the founders do about something like AI?
So we had to, I mean, it was a weird question because it does not understand AI.
It doesn't understand anything.
We just said to George AI, imagine that there's an invention that is coming out.
It's rumored to be very near.
It's not deployed, but it's looming.
And here's the question.
If it comes out, it may upend everything.
50% of Americans will lose their jobs.
Tradesmen will be left idle.
Family farms will be useless.
The economy, if you can even call it that after this thing is introduced, would be reshaped in weeks.
Now, on the other hand, it may empower people like never before.
This may be the greatest invention mankind has ever seen, and it could change everything for the better.
On the other hand, it could entrench the powerful.
And that could be in our own country.
That could be people who are in companies that just want to take over everything, tradesmen.
It could also be a foreign country, depending on who gets it first.
So we put this in, and immediately they start talking about the British and the French, or God forbid Spain would get something like this.
But what George AI spat out for us today, and you can hear it at Glennbeck.com Torch, but I just want to read some of the stuff that it said.
It used actual lines from the founders and put this into context.
If they were talking about this machine that could change everything, they had this conversation with the founders sitting around a table, and it starts with Washington.
And he says, gentlemen, this proposed contraption, if it may display so many from their labors, then it will not enter our nation as a novelty, but as a tempest.
I've led my countrymen through war.
I presided through peace.
And if I've learned anything, it's this.
Order is not given.
It is kept carefully and deliberately.
So one of the founders at the table says, so you want to regulate it?
He doesn't jump to yes because he's worried.
Leadership worries him.
But instability, once he's president, instability is what really bothers George Washington.
He says, quote, if such a power may disrupt the pillars of our republic, our commerce, our class of working men, even our means of defense, I would owe it to the union to ready our laws before it manifests, for we may not prepare with muskets what others are building with mines.
So protect liberty, but protect the country first.
That's Washington.
Jefferson is the next to speak at this imaginary table.
He says, let us not mistake disruption with calamity.
The plow has killed more trades than it created, but in its wake came bread and time for poetry.
So the table starts to press him.
What if this invention makes work obsolete?
Ruins the livelihood of the cobbler and the butcher and the craftsman.
Jefferson then says, let us then.
Let us ensure the shoemaker's son may learn arithmetic.
Let us write laws that educate, not laws that bind restrain monopoly, not invention sponsor knowledge, not control of outcome.
It's brilliant.
Franklin then steps up and he says, gentlemen, we're concerned too much with the torch's shadow and not enough with its light.
It's like hanging out with.
I mean this this, this.
I can't wait to be able to turn this over to you so you can do what we're doing with it right now and just having, like these conversations.
And they're not the founders, is not, you know, they don't this.
This is just based on their words and their philosophies, and so it is just taking only from them, from their actual words and the things we know from their writings, etc etc.
And and you're able to ask them things and get them it.
And whether this is what Franklin would have actually said or not, I have no idea, but it would have gone something like this, this is the.
It's like hanging out with really unbelievably.
It's like hanging out with the founders.
We're concerned too much with the torch's shadow and not enough with its light.
Were fire discovered in France, would we outlaw it in Pennsylvania?
No, we'd put it to work.
Let the baker bake longer, the tinker cast stronger, the printer labor by night, yet never let heat go ungoverned unfenced, and the wild flame consumes more than it warms.
So transparency, public access, keep the blueprints in daylight, just completely open.
Then Hamilton, who is always for big government, he said, should we muddle endlessly in ideals while other nations act?
If this invention grants speed to commerce, advantage in arms, efficiency of state, then build it boldly before the Spaniards do so.
He'd fund it, he'd in fact nationalize it.
That's why I don't like Hamilton.
Madison Madison, the guy who wrote the Constitution.
We cannot legislate in darkness.
First must come understanding before the ink is dry.
The implications must be debated and not decreed.
So he's looking for more information.
He's He's looking for deliberation.
He's looking for checks and balances in public hearings, blah, blah, blah.
Then Adams chimes in and he says, if it unsettles the daily lives of men, then it belongs within the realm of government deliberation.
Else we lose the republic not from war, but from neglect.
So here they are.
All the founders, we think that they're all alike, and they're very different, each of them.
Washington is protective.
Jefferson wants open knowledge and education.
Franklin is ready to dive in, but make sure that you keep that fire in a cage.
Hamilton, let's throw warships and money at it.
And Madison, slow down, legislate cautiously after you have information.
And Adams, prepare, prepare before it's too late.
That is the message from George AI today.
And I just had to share it with you because I just think it is, this is an incredible tool.
And when we have it and we've beta tested enough so we know we have it under control and it is what we want it to be, make sure that it is, never taking even my words or anybody else's, but just the words of the founders, we're going to turn it over to you.
And in a year from now, hopefully you'll be able to actually talk to it.
It'll give you a podcast and it will listen back.
It'll ask you questions.
And based on your response, the next podcast will generate based on your answers if you're missing certain kind of concepts that the founders thought were important.
But that's all part of the torch.

Most people never think twice about their cell phone bill.
You know, it's just another automatic payment, something that you need, something you assume is, you know, neutral.
It's your cell phone.
Money is never really neutral, especially when they're gobs of it.
It always ends up pushing something or someone forward.
So the question is, where is your money pushing?
With a lot of the big wireless companies, a portion of your bill can go towards causes and policies that do not line up with your values at all.
And you don't see it.
You don't vote on it, but you're kind of voting every time you pay your cell phone bill.
You're funding it.

Hamilton Betting on Scale00:01:58
So I just told you what George AI spit out today for insiders at glennbeck.com slash torch.
And Ricky just asked me a question off air.
Yeah, I wanted to know which of those founders' philosophies on AI and regulation would you most align with?
I have my guess, but I want to know for sure.
I think that I would go with Franklin.
We're too concerned much with the torch's shadow, not enough with its light.
He's betting on ingenuity there.
And I bet on that as well.
But what makes me say yes to him is that, plus never let the heat go ungoverned.
Unfenced, the wild flame consumes more than it warns.
So he is, he's saying, but we have to be very careful with this.
And I think, you know, in a weird way, I think the interesting question is, which one do you think Donald Trump agrees with?
Which one do you think?
I'm leaning, was it Hamilton who really wanted to just go all in?
Hamilton was like, yeah, let's make it, we'll be the strongest war machine and let's pour money into it.
I think he is, he is there.
I think he has a lot of people around him that is, that is, they're very Hamilton.
And this is, you know, he wants scale.
This is Hamilton.
He wants scale.
If it is an advantage of arms or commerce or efficiency of state, then build it boldly before the Spaniards do.
That's America first.
But I also think Trump has a bit of Franklin in him on betting on ingenuity.
That man's going to be able to handle whatever.
Everything is going to be better if we can set people freer and come up with new ideas.
And if this helps, we're going to get rid of the deficit.
