Brandon Darby and Lue Elizondo analyze the US Olympic hockey gold win, contrasting Jack Hughes' assertive American style with Canada's "borrowed excellence" while honoring Johnny Godreau's children. They discuss the CJNG cartel's elimination in Mexico under President Sheinbaum, warning of ensuing violence, before Lou Elizondo reveals China and Russia are racing to master UAPs by 2036. The episode concludes by addressing the Mar-a-Lago assassination attempt, arguing that threats to the constitutional order demand immediate lethal force regardless of the shooter's mental state.

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.
And now let's get to work.
Glenn Beck is on.
Hello, America.
Gee, is there anything going on?
I got to think of anything.
And by the way, if you happen to be watching on the torch, Canada, I'm not trying to rub it in.
I'm just saying.
We're going to talk about hockey coming up in just, well, I can't wait.
Let's put it that way.
We'll talk about that coming up in just a little while.
But first, I think maybe we should probably talk about what's happening in Mexico, what's happening with Iran, the Mar-a-Lago shooter.
It was 20 minutes into our meeting today when I finally said, okay, let's get to the Mar-a-Lago shooter.
I mean, that's how normal that has become now.
And that's how big everything else in the news is.
I heard that yesterday and I thought, well, that's the thing we're going to be talking about tomorrow.
No, I'll squeeze that in if we can because of all the other big news.
And State of the Union is tomorrow.
What does the president have to do with the State of the Union?
Oh, and by the way, New York City is getting up to two feet of snow.
That's what they're expecting today, up to two feet of snow.
Well, the good news is, New York City, you have the mayor that is going to be able to take care of that for you.
Oh my gosh.
The snow cleanup in New York is going to be so easy.
By the way, did you see AOC over the weekend talking about snow in New York?
She said, I can't believe I have to explain this to so many of you who watch me, but I keep getting these things.
The snow isn't even cleaned up from last time.
She said, you know, snow doesn't melt at 28 degrees.
She had to explain, she had to explain to her audience the physics of snow meltage.
Oh, we're doomed.
We're doomed if these people take over the world.
All right, let's begin with Mexico in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
If you live in a free country, you know, one thing you can count on is that someone somewhere is working overtime to chip away at that freedom.
That is the price of liberty.
It has to be defended.
It has to be argued for.
It has to be fought for, you know, in a thousand little ways every single day.
What you don't expect is that you might be financing the other side without even noticing it.
You pay your phone bill every month, but behind the scenes, a portion of that money can be funneled into causes and organizations that stand in direct opposition to the values that you hold, the rights you cherish, you know, the country you want to leave to your kids.
That's the part that really hurts.
Patriot Mobile was built to fix that problem.
The same nationwide coverage that you get on all of the big guys, plus competitive pricing, real customer service.
And the fundamental difference is they support the First and Second Amendments.
They, you know, they support all of the amendments.
Sanctity of life, our veterans, our cops, the principles this country was founded on.

Yes, I am.
Okay.
Woo!
Good news.
It's not like it's spring vacation week.
Oops, it is.
My daughter actually called me last night and said, Dad, I think I want to go to Mexico.
I said, are you joking?
She said, what do you mean?
I said, have you seen what's happening in Mexico?
This is late last night.
She's like, yeah, but that's going to blow.
I'm like, no, you're not going to Mexico.
In fact, after that comment, I don't think you're going to leave the house.
I don't think you go out of the house today.
What do you mean you're going to Mexico?
You're not going to Mexico.
Mexico is a failed narco-state, period.
Now, what happened?
If you happen to watch a podcast that I did, Ricky, how long ago?
Six months ago?
Last April.
I love your timeline, though.
Last April.
I have no sense of time anymore.
Anyway, Brandon Darby was on, and he is a guy who has been undercover and been all throughout the narco state in Mexico.
And we spoke specifically about this particular cartel and henchman that they just killed, El Mencho.
This guy is really, really dark and very different.
He didn't inherit the power.
He engineered the power.
He was a local police officer in Mexico for a while.
And he learned the system and he learned all of the weak points.
And then he turned around and used that knowledge not to defend the state, but to hollow it out.
The chaos that happened from the older cartels splintering and failing, he came in and he built something new, something faster, something younger, and something far more aggressive.
It's called the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, CJNG.
If you think of drug cartels and you think of them as drug traffickers with pickup trucks and rifles, you're thinking, oh, so 1995.
This is incredibly different.
This is a paramilitary organization.
I mean, look at what they're doing right now.
They're setting planes on fire.
They've shot a helicopter out of the sky.
Um, they're just setting.
Puerto Vallarta is on fire today and it's happening all over Mexico.
They have armored vehicles.
They have military-grade weapons, rocket-propelled grenades, drones that can drop explosives.
It's bad.
In 2015, I think they shot down their first military helicopter from Mexico.
Let that sink in.
That's not gang violence.
That's an insurgency.
And that was 2016.
And they're still standing.
And they expanded into most Mexican states.
They have a distribution network all across Mexico and here in the United States, all 50 states.
They're not just border towns.
It's Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York.
And this isn't theoretical reach.
This is logistical.
They have warehouses, couriers, front businesses, money laundering pipelines.
And they are the most brutal of the brutal.
In Mexico, there are mass graves, public hangings from overpasses, entire towns terrorized into silence.
Now, when we had Brandon Darby on, he talked about this, and he talked about how efficient they are because terror is very, very efficient.
That's why they're so violent.
When he was on with us, he talked about they're protected.
They're protected by the head of their military, Mexican military, kind of their Pete Hegseth.
Well, wait a minute.
If they're protected, how did this happen?
Well, apparently the news is the president didn't tell the Secretary of Defense.
Their president didn't tell the Secretary of Defense.
This is a country in chaos.
Okay.
And if you look, I'm just looking, you know, they're setting everything on fire in Mexico.
And that's because, like I said, terror is efficient.
You make one horrifying example.
If you make it horrifying enough, you don't have to fight, you know, 10 battles later.
So when Brandon was on, he also talked to me about the rumors that they are part of the Santa Merte occult.
This is, you know, some say a devil worship thing.
And in this particular cartel, shrines, rituals, all of this stuff of this folk religion.
I don't know if it's devil worship.
I mean, it seems like it.
I mean, they say there's no credible evidence of it, that this is some theological cult.
Here is what's true.
This group normalizes and celebrates death and violence.
And when you wrap murder in symbols of inevitability, you're creating something spiritually rotten to the core.
I don't know if you need horns or candles for any of that, but you're celebrating death.
All you need is an indifference to human life.
This is another death cult.
I want you just to look at the patterns that we have here.
You have the pattern of the death cult up in Canada.
Now they're saying you don't even need a parent's permission to kill the child.
You know, that's in MAID.
We have this death cult here in America that's shouting, you know, death to all Jews.
We have a death cult that is taken a hold, honestly.
I'm sorry if you voted Democrat, but it's true.
Your party has been taken over by a death cult.
I mean, how do you explain what's happening on the streets?
You know, and I'm going to get into that here in just a second.
Tied to this.
You have the death cult of the cartels.
You have the death cult in the Middle East.
You have the death cult of, you know, Islamism.
It's a death cult.
Which are you for?
Life or death?
This is a death cult, and they are setting Mexico on fire.
Reports of a major security operation that was targeting the cartel leadership immediately triggered all this retaliation.
They had highway blockades.
They set vehicles on fire.
They set a plane on fire, shut down the airport, coordinated disruptions.
I mean, all to show the same thing.
You think you hit the head?
Well, you might have hit the head, but the body's still alive and the body is thrashing.
This is what happens when a criminal organization embeds itself into the economic bloodstream of a country.
This country, Mexico, is a failed narco-state.
You need to understand that.
It's not a friend to the United States.
It is a narco-state.
And by arresting a lot of these people and then going in and killing these people, you've destabilized an entire ecosystem.
And power vacuums are really, really dangerous.
When a dominant cartel leader is weakened or disappears or is killed, the rivals move.
The factions fracture.
Violence spikes before it's settled.
This is why you don't want your kids traveling anywhere.
No Americans should be in Mexico.
Get on a plane and come back.
Whoever you know that's in Mexico, tell them that.
Get out of there.
Now, the instability that is happening, you can see it.
Tourist zones are, I mean, the cartels are sending a message to the government and to our government as well.
The violence is not aimed at tourists, but nobody is checking passports right now.
So the thing that you need to be aware of, and here's our first stop on the train of SCODIS, or I mean, POTUS yesterday with the State of the Union.
What is he going to say?
What does he need to say?
Here's your first stop.
Mexico's Instability and Cartel Messages00:03:58
The Democrats have defunded the Department of Homeland Security.
This cartel has a distribution network in all 50 states.
They're not battalions marching down Main Street, but they're cells, they're facilitators, they're traffickers, they're associates, they're believers.
And this is a death cult.
The federal government estimates that the cartel's membership in Mexico is in the tens of thousands and thousands of connected operatives and distributors here in the United States.
This is not a border problem anymore.
Thank you, Joe Biden.
Thank you for all of those who are saying, we don't get rid of anybody who's coming across.
There is no such thing as a border.
Well, you're going to wish there was a border soon.
This is a supply chain problem.
This is a demand problem, a corruption problem, a sovereignty problem.
Okay?
And cartels, how do they thrive?
How does a cartel thrive?
A cartel thrives.
A cartel establishes itself and gets legs underneath it when institutions weaken.
They thrive where corruption is tolerated.
They thrive in places where citizens lose trust.
They thrive when violence becomes background noise.
Does that sound familiar to any place in America?
El Mencho, he built his empire not just with guns, but with the understanding that fear spreads faster than reform.
So the question should not be, who is this guy?
The question is, what system in Mexico allowed him to rise?
And do we have that same system here now?
What are we doing to fix those systems?
Or are we just arguing about hashtags while the next version of this guy studies the same weakness in us?
You remove a tyrant and you have a few minutes to celebrate.
But if you remove the conditions that created that tyrant, you change the future.
If we don't do the second thing, the first is going to be a recurring headline.
And we're in deep trouble.
More in just a second.
Stand by.

Jason, what have I missed on the Mexican story here?
I think you got pretty much all of it there.
I think that it's very important.
And a lot of the insiders are talking about how not knowing whether they can trust the president of Mexico, not knowing whether they can trust the government of Mexico.
I remember I was just looking through Glenn AI right now.
We did a story or a show back in 2024 where you highlighted a Department of Justice indictment against the head of Mexico's FBI.
He was actually sent down.
This is like around, I don't know, like around 2023.
He was sent down to take care of it.
Say, okay, I'm establishing authority.
I'm going to take care of this.
We're going to end this cartel problem.
Well, the problem is later they found out that he was actually taking bribes from the Sinaloa cartel.
He was in on it.
So it seems like whack-a-mole over there, and you don't know who and their government.
I mean, how do you have a full-on fortified compound in this day and age with advanced military weaponry for these cartels?
And the officials in Mexico know nothing about it.
It makes absolutely zero sense.
Yeah, they know exactly.
Did you hear the audio tape that I sent you last night?
They said we can't play it today because of the language.
Well, it's in Spanish.
No, it's not only in Spanish, but he uses the F word like every three words.
And it's this guy on the phone with the government and the police saying, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
You're all on my payroll.
Back up.
Knock this off or I'll kill you myself.
I mean, the arrogance of this guy.
Now, this is not from this particular time.
This is from another time when they were trying to come in and the police backed off.
And you would not believe.
They were calling him, yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
By the end, the police were saying, yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Does this remind you of the dynamic in some of our American cities between violent insurgents and correctionists and how they intimidate our own police forces?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, look at the no-go zones in Mexico now.
And look at our no-go zones.
I mean, you have Seattle, Portland, Chicago, no-go zones, Los Angeles.
New York's going to be a nightmare soon, an absolute nightmare.
And Trump is given the way to fix it.
No-Go Zones Across America00:02:36
But are they going to?
I doubt it.
I mean, look what he did to Washington, D.C.
I mean, he cleaned that thing up pretty quickly.
Jason, is this group tied in at all to Hezbollah?
Do we know?
Not directly, no.
There could be indirect overlapping funding or use of routes.
And I would not doubt to see that at all.
And that gets really, really scary when you realize a lot of these people that are coming across the border, the cartels own the border.
They're the ones that take people across.
So if there are overlaps, they're the ones that could easily send them across, whether that be terrorists, cartel members.
And we just had four years of the Biden administration saying, let them in, let them go.
We have thousands of these cartel members doing work in our cities here in America.
And maybe as many as 10,000 Hezbollah members, more in just a minute.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

El Mencho and the Trump Administration00:14:56
Brandon Darby is joining us.
He is the editor-in-chief for Breitbart, Texas.
He is also Breitbart Cartel Chronicle co-founder and director.
He was on with me in April.
And in April, we talked about this particular cartel and the head.
And he said, the United States isn't serious unless we get this guy.
But this guy is protected by the Mexican Secretary of Defense.
Well, apparently that has changed.
So we wanted to bring Brandon on.
First of all, Brandon, you've been reporting on this for years and years, if not decades.
Did you ever think this day would come?
No.
And Glenn, thank you for having me on.
Good morning to you and your listeners.
I am super excited.
I did not expect this.
I believed the Trump administration when they were warning Mexico.
They said basically, hey, you're going to get this guy.
You're going to take this seriously, or we're going to take it seriously without your consent.
And I thought that that's probably what would end up happening.
I did not expect Mexico to play ball and actually help.
No.
So why?
What do you think the president said to the, because I don't think the president of Mexico is a fan of America and certainly not a fan of Donald Trump's.
What did he say, do you think, that got them to act on this?
Because this is a really big deal.
Right.
So I think my best estimation at this point of what happened was that the Mexican president, Gloria Scheinbaum, knew about this, but that the rest of her cabinet did not.
I know that roughly, was it probably February 15th or so, Navy SEALs began to train a group within the Mexican Army, Tedena, for a specific training that no one, it was obscure.
No one knew what it was about.
Well, it turns out this is what it was about.
So I know that those Mexican military folks were sequestered.
So their phones or any mechanism they had to communicate with the outside world was taken from them.
And they did this operation.
The Mexican government did this operation.
So I think that we, you know, it's very well documented.
The current Secretary of Defense for Mexico being Heavily connected with El Mincho.
So obviously, you know, they didn't know.
So it was kept very secret.
There is a possibility that this was done, you know, without the approval of the Mexican president, but she is kind of running a victory lap so far.
So I don't think that's the case.
I think it really is a situation.
You know, if we look at the history, every time the U.S. has found El Mincho and tried to work with counterparts in Mexico to get him, El Mincho was tipped off and was told, hey, they're about to get you, so he would be missing or he would be gone.
And this time, that did not happen.
This time, it was kept close to the chest, and they were able to pull it off.
And now he's gone.
I question the narrative that El Mincho and two others were injured and then were being flown to Mexico City and they all happened to die on the helicopter ride to Mexico City.
I question that narrative.
I think that he was probably going to die.
He was probably killed.
They probably decided, hey, if we let this guy in our system, he is so connected that he's going to get out.
He's going to be able to get out and kill our families.
So I think they killed him.
That's the most likely scenario.
And now we are in a very different stage, as I've said before.
If someone this powerful, the top of the top, can be taken out, it tells everyone in Mexico who's involved in cartels that they can also be gotten and that they better keep it in check or they might be.
What does it mean for the president of Mexico?
Because she would have done this herself long ago.
This obviously is she's kowtowing to Donald Trump or not.
Absolutely.
Well, so if you look at if you look at the social media statements of Mexico's leading politicians and Mexico's leading journalists, they're doing everything they can to take credit away from Trump and the Trump administration and the Trump administration's approach.
They're saying that this was another person in the administration who pushed this.
Trump had nothing to do with it, but that's not true.
What happened is that yes, whatever they want to say.
And I don't understand.
I'm going to be honest with you, it's very difficult for me to understand the liberal mind, even though once when I was younger, I was one of them.
Sometimes they still just blow my mind with the, it blows my mind, right?
The logic sometimes blows my mind, but the mental difference.
Okay, the gymnastics blows my mind that we, you know, folks like you and I try to, and our movement holds us accountable to be intellectually consistent, right?
That's okay.
They do it differently.
That's fine.
That's their business.
But, you know, what happened here is that Trump began to hit narco boats showing that he was willing to do things that had not been done prior.
Trump took out Maduro.
Trump took, I mean, he went down the line.
And, you know, Pete Hegseff and others in the administration openly warned Mexico that you will either help do this or we will do it unilaterally because it affects our country.
What Mexico began to do was to hand us, you know, they started to crack down on cartels as a whole, and they started to hand us significant figures who we wanted.
However, if you looked at it, the vast majority of them up until about a month ago, maybe two months ago, were all of the opposition and all of the competition to Cartel Jalisco and El Mincho.
So in an effort to appease us and look like they were taking it seriously, they were actually still helping El Mincho.
They were protecting him and they were taking out his adversaries as proof that they were serious about cartels.
And a couple of months ago, we started to see them going after Cartel Jalisco.
They took his number three guy and they gave him to the U.S. quickly because the last time he was arrested, he was let go, right?
Immediately, a judge let him go.
And so what happened was that they realized that you're either going to do this and help us or the U.S. is going to do it alone and the political fallout will be horrible for you if the U.S. takes unilateral military action in your country.
And they decided to play ball and to actually roll the dice and go for it.
And that's what they've done.
What is the fallout for us here in America?
Because they have operatives all over the United States.
All over.
Well, I think that what we have to look at is we have to go back historically to what's happened with other cartels, right?
Even though the other cartels did not have the level of power and influence that El Mincho had.
But what happens is you have like the Gulf cartel, who operates south of Texas along the, you know, the Gulf of America, I call it.
Some people say Gulf of Mexico still.
They're antiquated, but I say Gulf of America.
You know, that cartel had centralized power of Mexico's central government.
They had state power, all types of power.
We began to decapitate them and decapitate them every time a leader popped his head up.
And what you're left with is 10 to 15 glorified gangbanger units who really have no, they no longer have central power over the central government of Mexico.
They no longer really even have power over the state that they live in, Tama Lipas in Mexico.
They just have county power and little, they're glorified gangs.
And they still call themselves the Gulf Cartel, but they're so weakened at this point that they really don't have the type of power they've had historically.
And that's what's probably going to happen here.
There's going to be an uptick in violence, which liberals will blame on Trump, even though they're not crediting him with taking out the guy, right?
That's what I meant by mental gymnastics.
They'll blame the violence on Trump and on the United States.
But there will be an uptick in violence as four or five different groups fight for power and fight for control.
They'll become factionalized.
And then we'll take out the heads of those groups.
And then they'll become even more fractional and factionalized.
And ultimately, they'll no longer have central power over Mexico's government.
And they'll no longer have that.
They'll have regional power.
And then we'll take them out.
And then the next thing you know, they'll be reduced to having power over their block, their street.
That's the goal.
So the effects of this will be long.
I do not think we'll see a lot of acts of narco-terrorism within the U.S. because of this.
I don't know that, but I don't think so.
I think that the statement made is that it doesn't matter how powerful you are.
Like if you put yourself in a position to become the focus of the United States government, we can and will get you.
And I think that this results in a lot of folks trying to keep their heads down and not being as ostentatious as El Mencho was when he was alive.
Are we going to see a transformation of Mexico?
Do you think do they have the stomach to finish this job or is somebody else just going to step in?
Well, I think that's going to, but it's a great question, Glenn.
I think that's going to depend on what we do in this country.
You know, if the next time we get a leader, if that leader is very left-leaning and soft on, you know, soft on drugs and soft on crime, and if that leader is also soft on illegal migration, right?
If that leader is soft on asylum claims and they allow tens of millions of people to show up at our border as they did in the last administration, keeping in mind that several of these cartels have business models that are primarily based on asylum claimants, right, and on illegal immigration.
They were making as much or more, like various factors of the Gulf cartel and Los Etas was making as much or more from the people showing up at our border claiming asylum than they were making from drugs.
So if we do things in this country that increase the pull factors and increase the economic engines for various Mexican cartels, then we're going to be in trouble.
But if we continue to, say in the best case scenario, right, say that we have JD Vance and he continues with the Trump policies and the Trump focus on Mexican cartels, I think that we have a very good shot at Mexico becoming a better place, which is very important for us because it affects us directly, right?
You got to keep in mind, you know, like Americans didn't want fentanyl and then El Mincho began to manufacture fentanyl, right?
El Mincho began to manufacture fentanyl and then the desire for more of it, right?
It was a push issue, not a demand issue.
Obviously, that's a complicated issue, but it was more of a push and not so much a demand that caused the supply.
It was the supply that pushed the demand when it came to that.
So it really just depends on what we do.
But I can tell you this, if Mexico were going to become a better place, if our southern neighbor was going to get healthier, this is exactly what was required for that to happen.
So this isn't the armistice.
This isn't the end of the war.
This isn't Germany surrendering, but this is definitely, yesterday was definitely D-Day, right?
And we definitely took land and we definitely established a beachhead.
And so I am very hopeful.
I think this shows that the current Mexican president is actually trying to work with the U.S.
No, I don't think she would have if it weren't for Trump's pressure.
But regardless of that, this shows a serious step in the right direction.
Brandon, 45 seconds left.
Talk directly to anybody who's thinking spring break's going to be great.
I'm going to Mexico no matter what.
I would not allow my children to go to Mexico right now.
I would not allow my children to go to even the safe areas like Cancun or Puerto Vallarta because they're obviously not safe.
But keep in mind, those are economic engines for cartels.
As they fight each other, they're going to try to hurt each other's economic engines.
And you just might find yourself or your child or your college student caught in crossfire.
I would not do that right now.
I would wait a bit or go into Mexico.
Thank you so much.
Appreciate it, Brandon.
We'll talk again.
Great job on calling this one.
You bet.
Bye-bye.
Let me talk to you about Rush Tax.

If you have questions that maybe you don't even know how to ask them, what you really want is somebody who's in your corner, somebody who knows the rules, understands the paperwork, can walk you through the process without making you feel like you're one misstep away from a notice in the email, in the mail.
This is where Rush Tax comes in.

glenn beck now there's a point in almost every weight loss attempt where you start questioning yourself Maybe you're eating better than you used to.
You're trying to move more.
Maybe a big chunk of your day just opened up and you no longer have any excuse whatsoever not to actually go to the gym.
And yet the scale barely moves for you, or it moves for a minute and then it creeps right back.
It's usually when people assume the problem is discipline, but a lot of the times it can be biology.
When your blood sugar isn't stable, your body keeps nudging you to eat, to snack, to store energy instead of burn it.
And you can fight that willpower for a while, but usually you wind up failing in the end.

A New American Hockey Anthem00:13:21
Oh, I've been waiting for this since the U.S. hockey team scored.
Yesterday, they brought home the gold and it felt good.
But there is something different about this.
I mean, it felt good when the women's hockey team did it to Canada.
you know part of it i guess is you know canada um but i think it's there i think there are four or five reasons why this is particularly playing differently with the american people and they all revolve around jack hughes and i'll get to that here in 60 seconds First, let me tell you about the Burna Launcher.
You're sitting there in the police station, you know, cuffs, you know, still your hands are in cuffs.
Someone's coming in asking questions about what happened earlier tonight.
You're not going to work tomorrow.
Most likely, you know, you don't really even know what tomorrow is going to hold at all.
It was an act of self-defense.
You know that, but the police don't know, at least not yet.
And depending on where you live, they may never know that.
You know, you can justify it in your mind all you want, but what is the real deal?
You shot somebody and it was lethal.
That may or may not have been the thing to do.
And the court will decide and your life is hell for the next year or so.
The Burna Launcher was made for this very situation and so many others.
It gives you a way to protect yourself and your family without using a firearm.
It is legal in all 50 states.
It does not require a permit anywhere.
It uses CO2 to launch powerful non-lethal projectiles designed to stop a threat and create an opportunity for you to get to safety.

So last night was fabulous, or yesterday was fabulous, when we found out that the U.S. hockey team won the gold.
Let me give you a couple of couple of scenes from this.
First of all, I don't know if you've seen, if you happen to be watching on Torch, you will see you'll see the picture.
This is Jack Hughes smiling after the win, which I just absolutely love.
Do you have that full screen?
There he is.
I mean, blood in his mouth.
I mean, this is an American.
This is an American.
Okay.
Here's the moment he scored the game-winning goal.
Listen, cut one.
Rock across it comes.
Jack Hughes wins it!
The golden goal for the United States!
For the first time since the 1980 miracle, the United States takes the goal!
It's the greatest.
It is the greatest.
It is the greatest.
It feels good.
You know, Donald Trump said at one point, you're going to get sick of winning.
I'm not sick of it.
I am not sick of it.
Now, they sang the national anthem, and I want to play just a little bit of the hockey team singing the national anthem.
They're not singers.
They're hockey players, but they were proud to be an American.
They were proud to be there representing us.
That is what felt so good.
We don't feel that very often anymore.
And the left is saying, oh, it's a MAGA win.
MAGA is a...
Shut up.
Shut up.
This should be something for all Americans to enjoy.
I'm tired of being ashamed of my country.
I'm not ashamed.
I should say, I'm tired of people trying to make me ashamed of my country.
I'm tired of people being ashamed of our country.
Have we made mistakes?
Yeah.
Show me the country that has made fewer that are 230 years old or 250 years old.
Show me the country.
We all suck at some point, but we try and strive to get better.
Look, when he brought home or helped bring home the gold, it landed differently than, you know, than most gold medals land.
Okay.
And it's partly because of him, but it's also partly because of us.
Hockey is different.
Now, you're going to have to excuse me because I know nothing about hockey.
I mean, I know nothing about sports, but from what little I have read, excuse me for the first two points, but I think they're accurate.
Okay.
There are five reasons why this hit differently for all of us.
The first one, this is a new generation of American hockey.
We lived, when I was growing up, we lived in the shadow of Canada and the old Soviet Union, and that was a machine.
And the miracle of 1980, that was just blue-collar grit.
That was just, you know, that was late placid.
It was sacrifice.
Hughes is different.
He is speed.
He's skill.
He's flash.
He's confidence.
He's the face of the New Jersey Devils.
Former number one overall draft pick.
He is the guy who represents the American hockey player development, kids coming out of the, you know, U.S. national team development program who don't just compete internationally, they're dominating.
And that shift matters because we've always kind of been this borrowed excellence or we were the, you know, we were not the, we didn't dominate.
We borrowed.
Now it's all homegrown.
There's the first reason.
This is homegrown.
It's a new generation.
Two, he has a style that I think Americans recognize.
He plays like a modern American athlete.
He is creative.
He is fast.
He is fearless.
He walks off with no teeth in the front.
I mean, he's willing to take over.
Okay.
Gold medals mean more to us when they're played or when they're won by players who feel distinctly American in their temperament.
They're assertive.
They're confident and a little defiant.
That's who we are.
Okay.
And he didn't just compete.
He imposed himself on these games.
Americans like that.
The rest of the world may not like that, but that's who we are.
We're the people who cross the Rocky Mountains.
Okay.
Third reason, gold still seems really rare in hockey.
Okay.
Basketball.
I mean, we have the dream team in basketball.
Oh, we won the gold?
What a shock.
Expected.
Baseball, you know, everybody's competitive.
Football, that's ours, of course.
But hockey, hockey still carries an old weight to it.
It feels like you're taking something back from the old powers of Canada and Sweden and Russia.
When the U.S. wins gold in hockey, it's earned the hard way.
And when a young American star is at the center of that, I don't know, it just kind of feels like momentum, right?
Feels good.
Now, here's the fourth reason why this feels different.
Timing.
We are in the weirdest place of my lifetime.
We are culturally divided.
We are cynical.
We're exhausted by politics.
And sports, at least this sports moment, it was clean.
It was earned.
It was unified.
And it hits harder right now when somebody, look, listen, play the cut of him.
Let me see where I can find it.
Play the cut where he is talking about how lucky he is.
Cut three.
I'm lucky I'm from the best country in the world.
And we got great dentists there too.
So I'm lucky I'm American and they're going to fix me right up.
Standing there listening to the anthem.
What's going through your head?
Just so proud.
I'm so proud to be American.
I'm so proud of this group.
I'm so happy that we could win.
You know, we have so many people here supporting us.
We have so many people back home supporting us.
And, you know, we're just, we're so thrilled with how this whole tournament played out.
And, you know, just an unbelievable moment for USA Hockey.
We've been feeling that love for so many years.
You know, so many of these guys have been with USA Hockey for so long.
We have so many ex-players, ex-Olympians.
All the guys we looked up to reached out to us.
We got their notes on the wall in the locker room and they sent some unbelievable messages.
Stuff that, you know, puts tears in your eyes, honestly, because it means so much to them.
It means so much to us.
And the next batch of kids in the next 20 years, it's going to mean so much to them.
So that's why we do this.
The USA Hockey Brotherhood is so strong.
We're so proud that we could do it for them.
We're so proud we could do it for everyone back home.
I mean, how great is that?
There's no scandal.
There's no theatrics.
There's just excellence and teamwork.
Let me play the next cut.
They brought the kids of Johnny Godreau out.
He was killed by a drunk driver last year alongside his brother.
And they bring his two kids out on the, he would have been playing in the Olympics.
And they bring his kids out, play a little bit of this.
And as we look behind, Dylan Larkin and Zach Berensky have gone into the stands to go get Johnny's kids.
They're going to come out now.
and they're gonna hold your dad's jersey and get a picture with the gold medal team how beautiful was You talk about sports and you talk about the togetherness of a team.
That's why they won the gold.
And that's what mattered to us.
I mean, this is the story of Jack.
He's the face of it, but it's not the story of Jack.
It is the team.
It's the team.
There was a time when America felt like a team.
And I don't know about you, but I'm longing to feel like a team again.
I don't know why we can't get on to the, you know, USA team, but we can't.
There's too many people that hate America, that are Americans.
I don't get it.
I just don't get it.
But, you know, to each his own.
And the fifth reason, I think, is because of the story of his family.
Another thing that is important to America.
Jack's not just a one-off.
He is a hockey family.
His brother is a star for the Vancouver Canucks, and I'm not going to hold that against him.
His other brother also plays for the Devils.
Three elite American players from one family.
There is something to that that speaks to us about our family in a deeper way.
Discipline, structure, parental investment, people who work hard.
This family obviously works hard, trains hard, and is a unit.
That's the American ideal.
Build it at home, take it to the world stage.
That's why this hit us all so hard, because it feels like a torch is being passed to the next generation, and they're lighting an entirely new flame.
American development is beating the old system.
Excellence without shame or apology.
Unity without politics.
And family.
I mean, that was not a medal you saw.
That was the symbol of something that Americans are hungry to feel again.
That we're not fading away.
That we can still produce the very best in the world.
That our young men and women can walk into the hardest arenas on earth and come out champions no matter what everyone else is telling them.
And in hockey, of all things and all sports, it still feels like we're proving something.
Back in just a minute.

You worked, you showed up, you handled what needed handling.

From Axios.
Three team USA fans, one of whom is wearing a MAGA hat, says America is celebrating its first U.S. men's hockey gold since the 80s, toppling Canada with clutch overtime goal and historic sharp tensions between the neighboring nations.
The big picture is the victory was extra sweet for the MAGA world, which swiftly seized on the win as an opportunity to roast Ottawa and uplift teams.
Okay, well, I mean, I would say that our fearless leader did post something.
Do we have the picture that we don't?
It was a Canadian goose on the ice, flat with the claws of a bald eagle into its back.
I mean, there it is.
That is the president trolling.
And I don't think there is anyone better than President Trump at trolling.
Look at the Canadian goose with its beak in the ice.
It is a very funny picture.
It is a very funny picture.
But, you know, I honestly, most Americans, and even Donald Trump, he's trolling.
He doesn't hate Canadians.
He's not trying to rub their face in it.
I'm not trying to rub their face in it.
Well, he might be maybe a little bit, a little bit.
But I don't think Canadians, I think the government.
And so, you know, now the news is like, oh, look at what happened.
Look at what happened.
And they're making it about politics.
Can you stop?
Can you just stop?
Here's the opposite of what I would hope all of our athletes would do.
This is from the New York Post.
Nathan McKinnon does not believe Team Canada got what it deserved.
Aww.
Team USA pulled out a 2-1 overtime victory on Sunday in Milan for the first Olympic gold medal in men's ice hockey since 1980, despite Canada carrying much of the play and outshooting the Americans by 42-28 margin, including a 19-8 in the second period.
You be the judge who the better team was today.
You know, that's not the way this works.
I don't know if you know that, Mr. McKinnon.
Ah, McKinnon.
It doesn't work that way.
It's who scored the most.
Who scored the most?
If you would have won the gold and they outplayed you, would you have handed them the gold?
Of course not.
You just don't like silver.
You know why?
Because you were probably making fun of the Canadian hockey team, the girls' hockey team, when they're like, Silver shines just as bright last week.
You at least know that's a lie.
My gosh, what kind of, what, what kind of poor sportsmanship is that?
And I'd say that if it was an American doing exactly the same thing: poor sportsmanship.
I mean, yes, you know, a gracious winner probably does not tweet out the eagle on the back of the Canadian goose.
But that just makes me feel just put it up in front of me again.
Oh, that is funny.
If you haven't seen this, you have to look up what the White House did.
Because what was it that's his name tweeted?
Because that was a response to Justin Trudeau.
Do we have that?
Justin Trudeau, you know, he said something stupid, like, silver's just as great.
And so the White House put that picture up.
I mean, okay, all right.
Not the best sportsmanship, I agree, but funny, but funny.
And I think that's what that's what people miss about Donald Trump.
The guy is funny.
He is funny.
And I know nobody's supposed to be funny anymore.
Can we get over this, please?
What did Trudeau say?
So Justin Trudeau said, actually, just a few days ago.
Okay.
No, no, no.
Sorry.
A few days ago, last year, 2025, they went up this.
You can't take our country and you can't take our game.
oh we just did oh that's why it's so that's why it's so Apparently, I was muted because I'm not a broadcast professional like you.
I'm an amateur.
Okay.
This is what Justin Trudeau said.
You can't take our country and you can't take our game.
Yeah.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah, we did.
We did.
We took it.
We took it.
And it was sweet for us, not because we were defeating you.
You're not the Soviet Union to us.
Canada, I hate to tell you this.
I love you.
I love you.
And I think most Americans love you, but I hate to tell you, we don't think of you that often.
Okay.
Stop thinking like we want to take you over.
Most of us are like, nah, it's too cold up there.
I mean, we're not that interested.
You're not that good looking.
Okay.
You're not that good looking, Canada.
Stop it.
And remember, silver just shines just as bright as gold does.
Yeah, it does.
That's another reason why we're not that interesting.
You think silver shines just as bright as gold does?
No, thanks.
We have enough of those people here.
All right.
Back in just a minute.
When it's talking about Israel, scriptures say, I will bless those who bless you.
That's a Bible verse, clear call to action.
And those people who are rising up against that call, it's more urgent than ever before.
Because to me, that doesn't mean I have to agree with Israel or I have to follow their policies or I have to agree with wars or anything like that.
I just believe the Jewish people have a right to exist.
Okay.
You want your country, then you're going to have to fight for it and defend it.
And they do.
They're not asking us to come over with troops.
They're not doing that.
What we're supposed to do is fight for the right for Jews to live.
And I would do that for the Navajo nation.
You have a right to live.
We shouldn't exterminate all of you.
Listen, this is really important to support and show the people of the world that we do stand with the Jew while the rest wants to exterminate all of them.

Glenn told us on Friday he doesn't fear aliens at all.
Is he nuts or is this whole thing a massive science?
God's nuts.
Torch insiders, we've got a poll that you can vote in right now at glennbeck.com slash pork.
You know, Canada, I want you to look at this one.
You could be cheering with us.
Had you just become a 51st state.
You know, it's just that easy to fix.
Anyway, I told you a minute ago, and now the calls are coming in.
Everybody's, you know, Glenn got it wrong about sports.
What show are you listening to?
Of course I got it wrong about sports.
For the love of Pete.
Quinn Hughes apparently does not play for the Canucks.
He plays for Minnesota.
Easy mistake.
I consider Minnesota part of Canada.
And Quinn Hughes is the one, the brother, and he had the winning goal when we were playing against Sweden in the semifinals.
He's the one that got us there.
So, you know, that's great.
Anyway, also, I mean, was.
I mean, I'm just going to chalk it up too.
I'm not going to read more into it because there wasn't any more to read into, you know, when he said, I come from a country with good dentists.
It's not that, you know, Canada doesn't have good dentists.
It's just that they have like four dentists and a bazillion people to get in to see those four dentists.
So he could, I'll bet you, because, you know, he's been asked to join the whole team and I think the women's team have been asked to be the president's guest at the State of the Union tomorrow.
And he said, if I have to, I'll just send the military plane out to get you and pick you guys up in Italy and bring you in.
And he called them last night and they were like, we're in.
So you'll see them at the State of the Union.
And there's a chance because of American dentists, he'll have his teeth fixed.
Canada.
You could have it too if you had the 51st state.
Anyway, isn't it amazing how much you care about that guy, these people, when 24 hours ago, 99% of us had no idea who they were?
That says something.
And I think that says something about how hungry we are to have people that just are not ashamed of our country.
You know, you don't have to like everything we do, but you have to be ashamed of it.
There is a, there's just this agonizing editorial in the HuffPost.
Who even knew that was still a thing, but apparently it is.
Therapists explain cognitive dissidence with watching the Winter Olympics.
Okay.
Explain it to me.
This whiplash between pride for the United States competitors and national shame for the federal government is common.
Even U.S. Olympians competing in the 2026 Milan Cortina Games in Italy feel ambivalent about representing the stars and stripes.
Do they?
Do they?
I mean, some do.
Hey, I love the one who's an American who's like, I'm going to ski for China.
go for it go for it um there's obviously a lot going on and i'm not the biggest fan of and wearing the flag doesn't mean i represent everything going on in the u.s oh good for you that's u.s olympic skier hunter hess which prompted trump later to label him as a real loser for his comments hey at least he wasn't face down in the snow with an eagle in its back There's obviously a lot going on.
I'm not the biggest fan of wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything going on in the U.S. Of course not.
You know what?
That's a very healthy way to look at it.
You know, because I don't understand why if you're on the left, you must hate the United States of America.
And then they tell you when I say something like that, they're going to write, you know, the HuffPo.
If they could afford, you know, the internet, they would be writing up today.
Glenn Beck said, you have to hate America.
That's not true.
We love the Constitution just as much as anybody else.
No, you don't.
Stop it.
Stop it.
The cognitive dissidents of rooting for U.S. sports while hating the U.S. government.
Remember, we were the anti-government people.
Remember that?
They were saying we were anti-government.
That's what made us, us, so dangerous.
The cognitive dissidence of rooting for the U.S. sports while hating the U.S. government is so common.
It continues to be one of the main topics I hold space for in therapy.
Oh my gosh.
I just, I think I just figured this out.
All of these experts, they all come from the psychotherapy world.
They're making a fortune.
They're making more and more sick people and they're making a fortune off of them.
Los Angeles-based clinical social worker Amy Montrose said, as we continue to witness national and global atrocities in real time, sweetheart, you need to look up the word atrocity, okay?
It can trigger feelings of guilt and despair and shame and anger.
Oh.
Oh my gosh.
You know, the only time I have really felt shame in my country for anything that has happened is Afghanistan.
When we pulled out of Afghanistan, it was shameful, shameful what we did.
Now, I can look back in history and go, that was a shameful moment.
That was a shameful moment.
But I've never experienced shame except for that moment.
And if you were honest with yourself, those who vote for Democrats, you were ashamed of that too.
You were ashamed of that too.
Although these feelings are common, you shouldn't ignore them.
No, you should go to therapy and spend lots of money.
Cognitive dissidence isn't just having mixed feelings, says a Nevada-based clinical psychologist.
It's a psychological state that happens when somebody holds two conflicting beliefs or values at the same time, or they're engaging in behaviors that contradict their values.
Our brains don't like inconsistency, so it searches for ways to reduce that tension, oftentimes not the healthiest of ways.
Cognitive Dissonance and Internal War00:10:32
Huh.
Huh.
That's interesting.
In your mind, this tension might show up as an internal war of words.
You might worry, well, why do I want them to win when I'm angry about where the country is going? Ranger said.
Or you might qualify your feelings with statements like, I'm rooting for them, but you might even need to turn the game off right after the big moment because it suddenly feels too complicated to keep rooting.
Oh my gosh, these people.
Please, please, if you take one thing away from this show today, this is what I want you to take away.
Do not fear a civil war.
I don't want a civil war.
I'm not calling for a civil war.
Civil wars will be horrible.
It will destroy the country, but we will win.
These people, they'll come.
You don't even have to leave your gun at home.
You just go up to them and like, boy, you look fat in that dress.
They'll run crying and they'll have to be in therapy.
We win.
These are the most pathetic wieners I have ever seen.
I mean, honestly, are there bigger wieners than these guys?
They fold at anything.
I don't know what to do.
This cognitive dissonance.
I'm cringing and cheering simultaneously.
What do I do?
I need a life coach.
The degree to which you feel shame and guilt right now for cheering U.S. Olympians might also depend on how much cognitive dissidence you've been between the stated values of being an American freedom, the revolutionary spirit, and opportunity for all versus how our government has actually acted in the hundreds of years since the U.S. was formed.
Oh my gosh, let it go.
In all of the ways we have been so unfair in the hundreds of years.
Can I, let me ask you one thing.
Besides just like, if you think about it and you're like, I mean, in life-affecting ways, tell me something that has happened hundreds of years ago that you're still like, I can't.
I just, I am so pissed off about that.
I mean, I can read history and I'd be like, okay, that really, you know, that was a mistake, but I'm not pissed off about it.
I wasn't there.
It no longer affects me.
You know what?
That's a good thing about Jesus.
No matter what you've done in the past, as long as you repent, as long as you're like, yep, that was a really bad idea, not going to do that one again.
The past is in the past.
This is what makes these people so wienerish is they are, they just can't leave.
They drag everything along with them.
Stuff that's not even their fault.
They just drag it along with them.
That's why some people might not experience cognitive dissonance at all because the U.S. government, what they're doing to its citizens is not new for them.
Oh.
Yeah.
Especially all those people that lived 250 years ago.
My gosh, those people are still pissed.
They can't let it go.
You know, you meet somebody who's like 285 years old today and they are livid.
You don't know what I went through.
I've met a couple of 185-year-olds that are, man, they're smoked.
They're smoked.
You try to dismiss them.
You can't.
But Ranger says, you can hold on to more than one truth at the same time.
Now, let me reread that for those on the left.
You can hold more than one truth at the same time.
So in other words, you could say things like, these ICE agents may have been wrong, but the overwhelming number of ICE agents are not.
You could say, these people were protesting and they stepped out of line, but that doesn't mean that they deserve to be killed.
You mean like that?
Like those two things?
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, hey, I don't have to believe all police are bad.
I can believe that some are bad and most are good.
Wow, I got a headache from thinking about that.
Like, like, wait, two thoughts at once.
So like I could say, like, the United States, the United States has done more to free people than any other nation on earth.
Overwhelmingly good stuff, while we did some really bad stuff at the same time.
Whoa, i'm dizzy.
How do I hold those two thoughts together?
This is what.
This is why why Maga was celebrating yesterday because we're so sick and tired of wieners period.
Enough said, let's move on.
Let me tell you about rough greens.
Before we had all these modern frou fruit breeds of dogs, you know what happened when you tried to set a bowl of dry dog food.
You know, over baked kibble in front of your dog.
You'd become the kibble.
Because they were dogs that didn't have to yipe, they didn't have to sit.
There were dogs, a few words whoo okay, that's a dog.
Now our dogs thrive on these little brown pellets that sit in a bag for two and a half years uh, because that's what the government says they have to.
So they're shelf stable.
What?
What happens?
That means they've cooked at high temperatures everything that your dog really needs.
You need a nutritional supplement that you sprinkle on top of your dog's existing food, and that is rough greens.
They'll add back the vitamins, the minerals, the probiotics, the omegas, the enzymes, all the things that processing removes.
You don't have to throw everything out and start from scratch.
You can even keep your little yipe yipe, yipe dog.
Just upgrade the bowl, because even if your dog sleeps on a monogrammed pillow, there's still a much more macho dog in there somewhere, somehow.
Don't change your dog's food, just add Rough Greens.

The Canadian goose with its beak in the ice and on its back the American eagle?
I mean, where did it even get I?
I just love that.
I just absolutely love that.
Only because it's funny.
Do I want to see a Canadian?
Actually yes, I do want to see Canadian goose killed.
Have you ever lived around Canadian geese?
They crap all over everything.
I would like more eagles, more eagles um.
Have you noticed though, how miserable people are on the left?
They are always so incredibly miserable.
How do you live that way?
I mean you, do you ever have any fun at all?
Ever, Ricky?
What was it you just posted?
Uh, this weekend I had a friend text me I do have a friend in Dc and they said this drunken, schizophrenic guy was threatening me.
But he didn't know.
There were four national guardsmen walking up behind him and they flashed me a thumbs up asking if I was okay.
I said no and then they surrounded him and let me buy.
I felt safer when I saw them walking up.
My friend is not extremely partisan, he's not very maga um, and don't worry guys, he's not a wuss.
You just can't carry guns to Dc.
But I had a lot of Libs reply to that saying, uh, first of all, this didn't happen.
There's no way that story happened.
Yeah, it is so hard to believe.
It's not like it's Willy Wonk in the Chocolate Factory, yeah.
And another person said, like you have friends okay, all right, you're a sweetheart.
Bless your heart is all I can say, because it's FCC regulated and I love Okay, sweetheart, that's just fine.
I have no friends whatsoever.
Love that.
That never happened.
I know.
It's so hard to, it's so hard to imagine.
And I was standing next to a river of chocolate.
Oh, no.
That was just the Potomac with poop in it.
I thought it was chocolate.
You know, you know what?
They're so miserable and yet everything they do leads to that misery.
Everything they do.
You want to stop being miserable?
Start liking a few things about the country.
Start liking a few things.
You know, start trying to find some decent things in life.
Try to find some decent things in people.
I mean, I don't know how many times I say this.
I must say this at least once a show.
I don't believe Democrats are like this.
I believe leftists are.
I mean, I don't want to believe that.
I don't want to believe that they're all just so miserable.
It makes me sad.
It makes me sad to believe that they're all so miserable.
I mean, and the problem is the leftists, the ones who are doing this, they do hate.
They do hate America.
You know, how can you look at a story like that and go, you know what, that is a good thing.
I'm glad.
I'm glad.
Because everything in their life is about politics.
There is nothing outside of politics for them.
That is their God.
And it's sad.
That's why they don't have any children because they're just sad.
You want to have sex?
No, I'd rather cry.
Just, it's sad.
And we'll pray for you.
Bless your heart.
We're going to pray for you.

Good Ranchers vs. UFO Mysteries00:02:24
We've got a lot to talk about, including another update on UFO.
What is happening with the UFO thing?
What is that?
Is that just a giant psyop or is something actually coming our way?
We'll talk about that in a minute.
We talk a lot about supply chains.
Like, you know, food just materializes, you know, from a system, like it's all automated, impersonal, and global by default.
But food comes from people.
It comes from that family that has been working the same land for generation.
It comes from ranchers who know the weather better than the forecasters do.
It comes from hands that actually raise what ends up on your table.
Good ranchers decided something simple.
If you're going to feed American families, you source it from American farms and ranches 100%.
No imported shortcuts, no blurred labels, no games.

Prepared UFO Revelations00:15:26
We've been to Italy.
Fire and Ice.
And now we're going to space.
The president has come out now and said that he is going to, quote, based on tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War and other relevant departments and agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena.
and unidentified flying objects, and any and other all information connected to these highly complex but extremely interesting and important matters.
God bless America.
So we are going to see these files.
I think this is a distraction.
I mean, that probably goes without saying a distraction.
But there is also something else going on.
And Laura Trump, the daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, said, you know, we've asked Dad, you know, what he knows.
And she said he's coy with us, which got us talking as a family.
If dad is coy with us, what does he actually know?
And then she said there's a speech that he is prepared to give when and if the time is right.
Now, I don't know if that's a speech that is written for every president or not.
I don't know what's going on.
But a guy who I think does know what's going on is Lou Elizondo.
He is the former head of Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.
That is the Pentagon unit that researched the UFOs now known as UAPs.
He oversaw counter-espionage, counter-terrorism investigations worldwide for the Department of Defense.
He worked for the Office of National Counterintelligence Executive and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
He's a guy who did not believe in UAPs or UFOs.
When he was asked, what do you think about those?
He's like, I don't think about those.
And I think that's why he was given the job.
But he said something in a podcast.
He was on with us a while back.
And then I just saw him on a podcast and he said, people in the government have got to come clean because a clock is ticking.
And I want to know what he meant by that.
What do you mean there's a clock ticking?
Because if you don't come, you know, if we found UFOs in 1955, who cares?
Even if we found them two years ago, who cares?
What do you mean there's a clock ticking?
That implies, at least to me, that something is coming that we need to be prepared for.
I don't know, maybe I'm reading too much into it.
We're going to talk to Lou next.
First, let me tell you about pre-born.
When we talk about the right to life, it is easy to gloss over the fact that we often mean what we say.
Life is a right granted by God.
It knits us together fearfully and wonderfully in the womb.
And it is one of the greatest tragedies of our time that so many people have chosen to end that life before he even has a chance at the outside world.
A child with a beating heart, toes, and fingers.
A child who, given time, will laugh and cry and grow and dream.
For many women facing an unplanned pregnancy, fear drowns out everything else.
They feel alone, pressured, unsure where to turn, and that's where pre-born steps in.
Pre-born partners with pregnancy clinics across the country to provide free ultrasounds to women considering abortion.
And when a mother sees her baby on that screen, when she hears that heartbeat, the conversation changes.
Hope enters the room for the first time.
Just $28.
You can provide one life-saving ultrasound, $28.
Make this the year of the biggest baby saving that is in history.
Dial pound250, say the keyword baby, pound250 keyword baby, or go to preborn.com slash back.
Preborn.com slash back.
Lou, how are you, my man?
Glenn, I'm doing better than I deserve.
You know, I tell people at my age, any day above ground is a good day.
Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
So do you remember having that conversation where you said the clock is ticking?
I do.
I remember that, Glenn.
I sure do.
So what did you mean by that?
Well, look, in the world of national security, the clock is always ticking.
And what do I mean by that?
Well, you know, there are foreign adversaries out there that are very much involved in the research of UAP like we are, just like our country.
And what you don't want to do is allow ourselves to get to a point of what we call strategic surprise, right?
All of a sudden, you have country X or country Y out there that may not necessarily be friendly to the U.S.
And all of a sudden they find they have a breakthrough, right?
So China has already admitted they have their own UAP program.
So does Russia.
And what we don't want to do is allow ourselves to fall behind some of our adversaries' capabilities.
Now, there's also another part of that conversation, too.
What you don't want to do is allow so much time to go by that by the time you are forced to make a decision, all your options you've exhausted.
Meaning, let's say that there is an announcement, let's say later this year, that life has been discovered somewhere else off of Earth, right?
You don't want to be in a situation as a government where you are caught flat-footed and surprised by that statement.
You want to be as proactive as possible.
You want to be able to have the conversation, socialize the idea with your citizens.
Because let's face it, governments writ large are the reason why they have the authority they do is because people have faith and confidence in those institutions and those governments.
And the last place any government wants to be is on their back foot, right?
In a situation where they get surprised.
And now, like we saw, for example, with the drone incursions that we had back in 2024 up in New Jersey, right?
First, the White House says there's nothing to see here, folks.
And they say, well, actually, there is something to see here.
Well, actually, all of these drones have been coordinated through the FAA.
Well, no, they haven't.
We don't even know if they're drones at this point.
Or the Chinese spy balloon, right, under the Biden administration.
That's another case in point where decisions were made on our behalf because we simply didn't want to face the uncomfortable truth that China was sending reconnaissance balloons over North America completely unchallenged.
So you started this out with imagine country X or Y.
So are you saying that we're possibly facing something from another country?
Well, I think all is possible.
All cars have to remain on the table until they're not.
I think there is enough information to suggest that other countries are heavily invested in this topic.
But keep in mind, we've been dealing with this now for decades.
And when I say decades, at least eight decades, that's 80 years.
We've been dealing with this phenomenon.
And if you look 80 years ago, where was Russia?
Well, you know, we had just, the United States had just entered the atomic age.
We had barely broken the sound barrier.
No one has been into space.
And that means some country secretly was developing this technology and was able to perfect it eight decades ago.
So that doesn't make sense, right?
If that was the case, this would be considered the worst intelligence failure in the history of our nation, eclipsing that of even 9-11, because that means for 80 years, some country in secret has been developing this technology.
And oh, by the way, has been able to deploy it over controlled U.S. airspace, over our sensitive military facilities, and there's not a darn thing we can do about it.
So when you look back at this from a temporal aspect or a time aspect, it simply doesn't make sense that all of this, what we're seeing, is Russian or Chinese.
It doesn't pass the smell test.
And you're not the only one that said this.
2027 keeps coming up, and you just said later this year or in 2027.
Why is 2027 the year that everybody keeps throwing around?
Because it doesn't seem random to me.
Everybody seems to be saying 2027.
Yeah, I've heard 2027.
I also heard 2036.
The capacity in which I heard it, I'd rather not get into it.
I heard it when I was working with the U.S. Space Force.
But it was, to me, it seemed more anecdotal.
So I'm probably not best suited to answer that time-wise, simply because I didn't come up with that timeframe.
But like you, I heard that as well.
And certainly something we need to pay attention to.
So Laura Trump just came out and said there's a speech for the president to give, and he's prepared to give it at some point.
Is that a speech?
Do you think she's referring to a speech that every president has had?
Or is this something that is prepared for this time, do you think?
I think it's probably something prepared for this time, simply because a lot of presidents were kept in the dark on this topic for a very long time, and I don't think they took it seriously.
Certainly, this president during his first term, initially when he was asked, kind of laughed it off.
And then later, from my understanding, he received some briefings and then took it quite seriously afterwards.
But look, it's a very risky topic.
Any president that makes a public statement about this topic runs a huge risk simply because there's a lot of unknowns.
And it has never really been good for one's career necessarily or even the media up until recently to even cover this topic because the amount of stigma and taboo that have been associated purposely, by the way, on this topic, on purpose, our own government created this taboo unnecessarily to give it the flexibility to actually do research.
A lot of people are surprised when they find out that ATIP was actually a program in the Pentagon that was studying UFOs.
That's what my colleagues and I were told to do.
And you said it absolutely correctly.
I was never a quote-unquote believer.
I went through the medical program at the University of Miami, and technically I graduated in microbiology and immunology.
So the scientific method for me is very important.
Also, as an intelligence officer, you have to let the facts speak for themselves.
However, with that said, there comes a point where you have so much overwhelming evidence, and you have some of the most sophisticated capabilities, technologically speaking, in the intelligence community that normally can identify the difference between an F-16 and, let's say, a MiG-25 from 25 miles away.
These same sensor systems are being used to collect information on things that, frankly, we don't understand, technologically speaking.
These things can outperform anything we have in our inventory.
And that is a national security issue.
And I believe that our president has been made aware of that.
And not just by the Department of War either.
There's other elements, the FBI, the intelligence community, even the Department of Energy that all have equity in this topic.
One of my researchers said the reason why the government is so afraid of all of this coming out is because if there is technology that we got from someplace else and it was shared with certain companies, then other companies will start suing and saying, well, I didn't get any of that.
That's an unfair advantage.
Do you think there's anything to that?
Yeah, you're absolutely correct.
Yeah, absolutely.
Look, there's back, you know, with the military-industrial complex, there's still rules and laws that have to be followed, and you have to have free and fair competition.
That is how this system works.
And if it turns out that maybe some general somewhere in the halls of the Pentagon gave a company an unfair advantage, you can imagine in 10 years, 20 years, company A becomes a multi-billion dollar aerospace company where company B goes bankrupt, 200 jobs are lost, and investors lose their investment.
So there's securities exchange commissions violations.
I mean, you could, in theory, rack up not just billions, but trillions of dollars worth of liability and damages.
So that is a very real issue.
That is absolutely correct.
One last thing.
What is the.
You were on the podcast with me, and you talked about a spiritual element of all of this.
I think you said you walked into a meeting and the scientists were talking about something spiritual, and we didn't really get into it.
Can you share that again?
Sure.
Well, let me just say this, Glenn, if I can.
I think ultimately the human experience is a spiritual experience.
There's no way around it.
A lot of people say that we're humans having a spiritual experience.
I tend to think we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
But that aside, there were elements in the Pentagon that believed that what we were looking into were actually demons.
And there were some fundamentalists that believe that this was all the work of so to speak, the devil.
Now, I can't, between you and me, and I guess now everybody else, I can't necessarily fault them for thinking that, because if that is their spiritual perspective, then I can understand it.
And there are elements certainly within this topic that may scare some people.
But I don't think it's to be true.
Can you tell me, like, sure.
Yeah, there were people in the Pentagon that believe that UFOs, not only did they say they were real, they actually told me to my face and my colleagues, but that we shouldn't be looking into them because they are demons.
They're demonic.
They are.
We know exactly what they are.
And again, some of these people are very, very senior in the intelligence community.
Some of them were friends of mine.
And although I don't agree with their perspective, look, at the end of the day, I can't prove that they're wrong either.
So I respect it.
I don't agree with it, but I can respect that fear that this topic brings.
Do you have any idea why they would say something like that?
Well, what was told to me point blank was, Lou, have you read your Bible lately?
And he said, well, I thought I was pretty familiar with it.
Why?
And he said, well, then you would know because what we're dealing with are demons and we shouldn't be looking into them.
And that was the extent of that conversation I had with a senior leader in the U.S. government.
But there were others as well who felt the same way.
There's a lot of people that also can point to the Bible and they'll talk about Ezekiel's wheel, right, as being actually an interpretation of an encounter with the UAP.
Vatican, Bible, and UAPs00:04:02
So I spent some time at the Vatican, and I'll tell you, I'll share this.
That was kind of interesting, and I'll make it quick.
There they opened a scroll.
It was a very old parchment.
It was in Latin.
And one of the senior academics there at the Vatican said, look, here, read this part.
And it talked about eclipus.
Eclipus is a Latin word for, like, think of eclipse.
And it was the word they were using for the Roman shields because the Roman shields were round and lenticular.
They did look, I guess, like suns.
And he said, here it is.
And this was a discussion between a Roman soldier and a Roman general where they described these flaming Roman shields in the sky that would follow them from battle space to battle space.
And so, you know, this is going way back.
And this is a document that's in the possession of the Vatican itself.
So the Vatican has also had a deep interest in this topic.
The last Pope actually said, I believe several years ago, that we should not be surprised that life exists and is abundant in the universe.
That God has the ability to create as many species as he wants.
And it doesn't necessarily mean that we are any less special.
Lou, it's always fascinating to talk to you.
We'll keep watching.
Thank you so much.
All right, my honor and privilege.
Thank you so much.
You bet.
Former Pentagon UAP official, guy who led the search here recently.
A lot of the breaking news comes from him, Lou Elizondo.
Okay, let me tell you about the International Fellowship.
Headlines change every day.
Covenants do not.
Long before there were cycles or talking points, there was a promise in Genesis that through Abraham's line, all the nations will be blessed.
As for Christians, our faith is rooted in that story.
And I believe that because of the Judeo-Christian principles, the world has been blessed.
Nations have been blessed because of those principles.
And those came from the Jewish communities at the very beginning.
Jewish communities now around the world are facing rising anti-Semitism and threats and uncertainty.
And this is not the time to be silent or passive.
It is time to show up in a big way, a tangible way, a meaningful way.
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews provides food and shelter and security and emergency aid to vulnerable Jewish families, including Holocaust survivors and those living under constant threat.
This is practical compassion, not theory, not politics, but faith put into motion.
If your heart's ever been moved by psalms, by the prophets, by the story of Jesus himself, then you understand our connection to Israel is deep and personal.
And now is the moment to protect the Jewish people.
Learn how you can bless Israel without getting political and blessed in return.

The American story, the beginnings is an immersive audio series on the founding of America exclusively for torch members at glennbeck.com.
Uh, We just pulled the torch subscribers in this latest poll.
You want to take us through this, Jason?
Torch Insider Alien poll?
I don't have the Torch Insider Alien poll.
Ricky, do you have any?
Oh, you don't?
Uh-uh.
Okay, so I have it.
Yes, aliens are real and they're dangerous, 4%.
28%, yes, aliens are real, but I'm not worried about them.
24%, aliens are not real.
This is a big distraction from the real news.
And 44% say, let me tell you what I really think.
Aliens Real or Just a Distraction?00:02:20
And then they follow those with comments.
You can read all those comments.
I've got to go through those later today and see what people actually think.
Did you notice I threw in your theory about the cost of lawsuits and litigation and everything else?
And he absolutely was behind that one, Jason.
Yeah, I think I believe, I don't want, I hope I'm not misremembering, but I believe it was one of his main, I guess, one of the guys he looked up to or one of the guys that first brought him into the program, I believe is the one that said that.
And it's a fascinating look because if they did, and let's say some of these companies have, you know, are the reason for like stealth technology, all that stuff.
Well, how come this other company didn't get that?
Billions of dollars.
Trillions, maybe.
I mean, can you imagine that is, I mean, that is so bizarre that that's what we would be arguing.
We find out if aliens are real, that we would immediately go to, hey, I didn't get my share of the alien information and money.
That's really where we head.
All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
I know a thing too about being in pain for years.
I suffered from pain in my hands that was so severe, I thought I would never be able to write again.
I don't like typing as much as I like actually physically writing.
Well, that changed.
Thank God.
Thank God for Relief Factor.
When you hurt, it's not just an inconvenience.
It is personal.
It touches everything.
Shaking a hand, holding a pin, even simple everyday things start to feel like climbing up a hill.
I tried to push through it.
Most people do, but it doesn't work all the time.
Relief Factor is an absolute game changer.
It was for me.
It is a daily supplement designed to support your body's response to inflammation.
And for me, it made a huge difference.
Over a million people have tried Relief Factor and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more.
If pain has started to crowd out the things that you love, whether that's writing, working, or just using your hands without thinking about it, whatever hurts, you owe it to yourself.

Merit-Based Casting for Singers00:03:21
Torch Insider, KA Smith1791, posted in our live chat, a torch membership is one of the best investments ever.
She seems like a genius.
Join our growing community of geniuses at glennbeck.com slash torch.
This is music that was written specifically for May 2nd for Ellis Island.
And we are looking for remarkable singers.
I mean, I can hire good singers, obviously.
We can hire good singers to do this.
But this phase of my life, the torch and everything else, is about empowering people.
That's what America is.
America is saying, forget about your past.
Forget about what everybody else says about you.
Doesn't matter who your dad was.
Doesn't matter what family you came from.
It doesn't matter.
What matters is, can you do it now?
You want to change your life?
Come to America.
That's America.
That's the whole thing.
We don't care.
We don't care.
We care who you are today, not where you came from.
At least that's the best of us.
So I really want to give somebody the opportunity of a lifetime.
We're looking for three singers.
I heard one today.
I haven't listened to any of them, but somebody brought me one today that I thought was really remarkable, good, remarkably good.
Guarantee you've never heard of her.
She probably has never sung before, at least in a big crowd.
And we're watching her, and we're going to present these people, the finalists, to the insiders, and they can decide.
But we are looking for three people, two females and a male.
The one female and a male will sing this song that I just played for you.
And then the other female will sing a song in French.
But you, I mean, if you want to have the opportunity, and you can sing, but you know, you've never sung professionally or whatever, but that's what you want to do.
There's no age limit.
You just enter the contest.
Go to glenbeck.com slash contents, context, contest, right?
Is that what it is?
Yes.
Yeah, contacts.
Contest.
Contest.
Glennbeck.com.
Yeah, legend here.
That's why, yeah, I mean, it's obvious why I have this job and why I'm so successful.
Glennbeck.com slash contest.
Do it now.
And we're going to be cutting that off here in a couple of weeks, I think.
But we're judging.
We're starting judging, I think today or later this week.
So if you want to, you want to get in, you know somebody that can sing, you know somebody who really you think, wow, that is that person, I know they can do it.
Don't tell us about them.
They have to go to the website.
They have to produce it all.
Merit-Based Contest for Singers00:14:24
This is all, this is a merit-based situation.
They got to make it happen.
We're not going to hunt people down.
So Glennbeck.com, you want that opportunity?
Glennbeck.com slash contest.
And Glennbeck.com slash events.
If you want to be there, believe me, you're going to want to be there.
This is going to be an epic journey.
Something that you'll never ever see again.
You'll never see again.
And you'll be able to watch it on Torch, just Glennbeck.com.
We're going to have it everywhere.
But to be there live, and there's only, I think, 1,000 or 1,500 tickets.
No, less than that, less than 1,800 tickets.
They are expensive.
But there are a few left.
And if you want to be there, just grab your tickets.
I'll be there.
And, you know, it's just going to be a very small group of people.
And some V VIPs are going to be there as well.

Okay, so yesterday, yesterday morning, I get up, getting ready to go to church, and I turn on the news, and I hear that somebody has been shot and killed at Mar-Lago trying to, I don't know, kill the president.
I think this kid had to be disturbed.
I think maybe, I'm just guessing we don't know yet, but I'm guessing this kid was mentally disturbed and was doing suicide by cop.
He clearly was not the brightest.
If he wasn't disturbed, he just wasn't the brightest.
And I don't say that with glee.
I mean, I feel bad for his parents.
But, you know, he comes into Mar-a-Lago.
You're not, I mean, that ain't going to happen, dude.
The president wasn't even there.
And then he brings a gas can and a shotgun.
You're not going to kill a president with a shotgun?
You're not going to get that close.
Anyway, he comes onto the property.
He gets through one of the gates, the North Gate.
As somebody's exiting, he just drives through.
Now, how that even that is possible is beyond me.
But he gets through, he parks his car, he gets out, he gets a shotgun and a gas can, and he's walking towards Mar-a-Lago.
And that's when they spot him and they say, you know, drop your weapons.
He puts the gas can down, and then as he's coming back up, he puts the shotgun to his shoulder and he's killed.
Now, I want to be want to be sympathetic because human life, yada, yada, but I also want to speak the truth.
You're going to kill the president.
You're going to kill.
And I don't care if it's Barack Obama or Joe Biden, whoever the president is.
I have the same rule.
You're going to try to kill the president.
We shoot you.
I don't care what your situation was.
I don't care if you were mentally incompetent.
I don't care.
We're not going to have a conversation.
You come on.
You're a threat.
We kill you.
We shoot you and we kill you.
There's zero tolerance of that because you're not just threatening the life of a president.
You are threatening the constitutional order of the republic.
And that is too important to let slip by and have second thoughts and like, oh, gee, we shouldn't have killed him.
No, he came on with a gun.
He wanted to kill the president.
We killed him.
Period.
Now, maybe that's too harsh for the wieners in the audience that are like, I don't know.
I feel so guilty that we won the golden hockey.
I just don't know what to do.
Shut up.
You're not going to get it anyway.
My question, however, on this is, how did this happen again?
How did this happen again?
I've been to Mar-Lago a million times.
How?
How?
How did this happen?
I mean, every time I've gone, there is somebody out front of the gate and inside the gate.
You have to have a special pass before the gate opens.
Okay, so he followed somebody in the gate.
That doesn't happen.
They have the big pylons, you know, those things that come out of the ground that will stop a truck.
How were those not engaged?
How is this happening?
And I heard yesterday as I'm driving in, I'm listening to the news, and they said, well, the president, obviously, they'll be upping his security.
How?
Shouldn't his security be at the highest all the time now?
Haven't we learned our lesson?
There's like, nobody should be relaxing.
Oh, you know what?
We caught the 40, 41st, 41st person trying to kill the president.
I'm sure there won't be a 42nd.
Let's stop.
Stop.
Okay.
Tomorrow, there is a new book that is coming out.
And the book is all about God, quite frankly.
If there is no God, who's making the decisions of what's right and wrong?
Who's making the decisions?
What's the battle of good and evil?
If there is no God?
Dennis Prager wrote this.
And I wrote the afterword for him.
And he asked if he could be on the show.
And so last week, he was, we recorded something because he couldn't do it live because he has he's paralyzed from the neck down.
And I said to him halfway through the interview, I said, do you have somebody pushing on your diaphragm right now?
Because we had to stop every 20 minutes or so because he would just get winded.
And at one point, this woman, I see the back of her head come up and she's like, Dennis, you got to breathe deeper so I have something to get out.
And I said, Dennis, do you have somebody pushing on your diaphragm to have this conversation?
He's like, yeah, I don't have control of my diaphragm.
I mean, it was incredible.
And I talked to him about everything.
I talked to him about God.
I talked to him about current politics.
I talked to him about his attitude.
I mean, it's incredible.
And I asked him, and it was hard because as I'm doing this interview, and Ricky just said this as we were talking about it before we got on, Ricky said, I felt like I was watching history.
As I'm watching this, I feel like I was watching history.
I felt the same way.
And it was really difficult because I love Dennis Prager.
And I said, you know, a lot of people, Dennis, feel like, how could God, how could God do this?
The same time Charlie Kirk's voice is wiped out, your voice is almost entirely wiped out.
Two icons.
How could God let this happen?
Listen to his answer.
Well, I have an answer to that.
And I wrote it decades before Charlie and decades before my accident of November 12th, 2024.
I wrote it then.
If you have to deal with the problem of tragedy and evil before it affects you, I'll give you a great example.
A woman once called my radio show and she began as follows.
Dennis, I have always disagreed with you about capital punishment.
I was against it and you were adamantly for it.
But I've changed.
I said, gee, why is that?
And she said, because my brother was murdered.
And of course, I offered her condolences, but that's not all I offered.
I offered a critique.
And I said, so when other people's brothers were murdered, that didn't register in your thinking about God.
It took a tragedy in your life.
What people need to do is to confront these things before it befalls them.
Almost everybody will have tragedy in their lives.
Alienated children.
Cancer.
It's endless.
and of course hatred you you will learn so much from this podcast We are releasing an early, normally we release it for the Insider Family on Thursday.
We're releasing it tomorrow.
His book is coming out tomorrow.
And obviously, he can't go out and do a book tour.
So I really, A, I've read the book because I wrote the afterword.
I read the book.
It is, you learn so much from it.
It is so good.
It's like Charlie Kirk on steroids.
It's a conversation between him and the youth of America.
It's remarkable.
It is remarkable.
I'm not asking you to do me a favor.
I'm telling you you're going to want this book, but I am asking you buy the book.
It's a way to show Dennis, thank you for everything you've done for me.
My family, for our country, and I know we all feel exactly the same way.
So get the book.
Wherever books are sold, you can get that.
It's If There Is No God by Dennis Prager.
And I'll have more on the interview on tomorrow's broadcast.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's Mercury One.
You've heard about disaster relief, the helicopters, the food, the supplies, and that's incredible.
But there's another part of humanitarian work that few people talk about.
It's what happens after the crisis is passed and the cameras are all gone and the world has moved on.
I gave a goal of Mercury One 15 years ago.
Let's restore the human spirit.
And that means it doesn't stop when the floodwaters recede.
It's not just about rescuing families on day one.
It's about helping them being there for when they're rebuilding on day 100, day 1000.
Mercury One partners with faith-based organizations and local communities to provide ongoing support from disaster to recovery.
We've assisted persecuted religious minorities all over the world.
We help veterans and their families to preserve the true story of America's founding principles as well.
When you support Mercury One, you're not just responding to a single moment of crisis.
You're investing in a long road back to America.
You are helping communities stand again, not just survive.
The next crisis is coming.
Hopefully it doesn't come now because our disaster relief has been defunded as has DHS.
Boy, what perfect timing can that be, Democrats.
But I'd like to ask you to visit mercury1.org, mercury1.org.
Find the loyalty society section.
And if you would, make a donation of $15.
You make up for more, but $15 a month.
If you have $5 a month, make it $5 a month.
But give what you can every month.
Your gift ensures that we have meal kits, hygiene kits.
We can rescue, and we're on standby for wherever we're called anywhere in America.
We have to stay ready.
You can help us.
Give today at mercury1.org.
You're going to have to hold that thought, my friend.
We got a schedule to keep.
Back.
We'll be back.
I know that Jason has been talking to the insiders today about the Texas election.
If.
If Texas, if you don't wake up, we're going to lose Texas.
We are going to lose Texas.
Right now, early voting, Democrats have 100,000 more votes in Texas.
You're going to lose Texas if you don't wake up and go to the polls.
What is wrong with Republicans?
Wake up.
We'll talk about that more.
I mean, if Texas falls, America falls.
No ifs, ands, or buts.
Texas falls, it's over.
It's over.
And they are 100,000 votes ahead right now.
So who do you think is going to be selected?
What do you think is going to happen?
Please get to the polls, Texans.
Get to the polls.
Tomorrow, Elon Musk, don't save for retirement anymore.
