Glenn Beck and Lara Trump dissect whether Israel dragged President Trump into war with Iran, asserting Trump's sole decision-making power based on intelligence regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions and anti-American ideology. The discussion covers Texas politics, including Proposition 10 banning Sharia law and Jasmine Crockett's primary loss, while critiquing Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger for refusing to deport a violent offender. Beck further analyzes socialist subsidies, citing New York's $36,000 child care costs versus private rates of $23,000, arguing that such programs inevitably collapse under unsustainable debt and market distortion. Ultimately, the episode frames these political failures as symptoms of a broader systemic decay driven by government overreach and economic mismanagement. [Automatically generated summary]
The Uncomfortable Truth About Hearing Loss00:02:46
Here's something uncomfortable.
You don't always realize that you're missing things.
You just notice you're working a little harder.
You lean in a little bit more during conversations or you ask people, can you say that again?
You then pretend you caught it the second time, even though you didn't.
By the end of a long dinner or family gathering, you're worn out, not from talking, but from straining just to keep up.
This is what gradual hearing loss feels like for a lot of people.
You're still present, you're still engaged, but everything takes more effort than it used to.
What holds people back from doing something about it isn't just pride.
It is honestly the hassle, the appointments, the tests, the follow-ups, the price tags that make hearing feel like a major medical product.
Audienhearing is trying to make that first step a lot simpler.
Their Atom series over-the-counter hearing aids are designed to be approachable, easy to use without prescriptions, no complication, no fittings.
You just get started.
You put them in, charge them, and then you're hearing better than you have in a long time.
And you hear what you've been missing.
Don't wait.

Cleaning Gutters With Leaf Filter00:02:18
I want to talk to you a little bit about the insanity of some of the states with their socialist ideas.
But in Texas, Tyrico beat Jasmine Crockett.
Jasmine Crockett is now saying that there was a fix.
Not from the Republicans, sweetheart.
I mean, I know a lot of Republicans that were like, I am going to vote for her in the primary because I just got to see that one.
So she's out.
Dan Crenshaw is out finally.
Finally.
Thank you, Texas.
John Cornyn is still in alive against Ken Paxton.
There's going to be a runoff with that.
And Texas passed Proposition 10, which means it now goes to the general election and the public in November in Texas.
Are we going to pass a law that says no Sharia law in Texas?
I hope to God they do.
That should be on every ballot in the U.S.
We have a special guest.
Normally don't start with guests on the program, but I'll make time for this woman at any time.
Laura Trump joins me in 60 seconds.

For a lot of homeowners, one of the biggest dumb chores on that list is cleaning the gutters.
It's dirty.
It's annoying.
It involves a ladder, which, you know, I think because I'm the breadwinner in the family and my wife thinks that I'm really just, which I am completely clueless and clumsy, she's everybody in my life goes, we cannot be, don't, dad, don't get on the ladder.
I love that because I never have to clean out my gutters.
Also, you don't have to clean out your gutters if you have Leaf Filter.

The President's Surprising Willingness00:15:58
Laura Trump, welcome.
How are you?
Good morning.
I'm great.
Thank you.
And thank you for making the exception.
I feel very honored.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you are welcome anytime.
I just love you.
Laura, I got to start with, I got to start with this crazy question because I know your father somewhat, not like you do, not like the family does, but I think all of America knows your father enough to say nobody leads him around by the nose.
But we are now hearing that Israel has dragged Donald Trump into this war, and it's coming from the president, some of the president's former supporters in right-wing media saying that he's just been duped by Israel.
How do you respond to that?
Yeah, no, you're exactly right.
The only person who makes decisions for Donald Trump is Donald Trump.
And you don't actually have to even spend that much time around him, Glenn, to know that that's the case.
He takes account of what people around him have to say.
He likes to get a lot of opinions, a lot of thoughts, which any smart person and any good leader would actually do.
But then he's the person who makes that decision.
And let's be really clear.
When it comes to Iran, this is a regime that has been for nearly 50 years chanting death to America and death to Israel.
They call us the big Satan.
They call Israel the Little Satan.
They were on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon that would have been detrimental not only to the United States, but to the entire world.
And this president has always said he wants to put America first.
You don't have an America if Iran has a nuclear weapon because we know they would have deployed it on us.
They want to wipe us off the map.
So the reason that we went in, the reason that this was the time, according to this president and all of his intelligence, is because you can't allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
The talks were going nowhere between, you know, Jared, my brother-in-law, and Steve Woodcock.
This was the right time.
So, no, no one has made any decision other than this president, based on the intelligence, based on his assessment of things, based on the fact that he wants to put America first and protect American citizens above all else.
You know, the nuclear weapon thing, I've been on Iran my whole career.
I've been talking about Iran.
They're extraordinarily dangerous because they're 12ers.
They're Shia 12ers that believe in the 12th, the mom is going to return.
And so a lot of their speeches from their president has been in the past, oh, Allah, help me have the strength to hasten the return of the promised one.
That is like book of Revelation stuff, really, really scary.
To hasten the return of the promised one, they have to wash the world in blood and burn it in the fiery furnace of the Islamic fury.
Okay.
That sounds like a nuclear weapon, that last part.
And they're dead serious because they actually believe these things.
But I have heard the nuclear weapon thing for so long.
I don't think that rings like a defense with people because they're like, you know, first of all, remember the, and your father was all over this when it happened, the Iraq war, when that happened, the, you know, weapons of mass destruction lie that we got.
But what was it that tipped him on this time?
Because I have personally been told over and over again for 25 years, they could be weeks away.
What was it this time that made him go, that's that we have to take care of it right now?
Or was it a bunch of stuff, including that?
Yeah, listen, I mean, I obviously don't get the detailed intelligence for you things like he does, but I'll just say this.
I think that this president has always known, and maybe he knew more than ever after Butler, Pennsylvania happened, that he was really made for this moment.
And I mean that in so many different senses.
I think he definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, believes that his life was spared in Butler, Pennsylvania, so that he could go on to lead this country.
And he was made for such a time as this.
I don't know, Gwen, that you would have ever gotten another person in that office at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who would have had the guts to do this.
People, you know, treated Iran with cake gloves for so long.
My God, we had Obama sending pallets of cash.
Biden sent cash back to them as well.
He had no strength on the world stage.
And I don't know that this president thinks that there would have ever been anyone else who would have seized a moment like we have right now to take care of a problem that would have gone on in perpetuity.
And let's face it, we know if they had the means to do it, they would wipe us off the map.
And so, like so many other things, other presidents have talked about it before, much like, you know, recognizing the Golan Heights and moving the embassy in Israel, you know, in Israel to from Telugu to Jerusalem.
This is something this president said, you know, so many people have talked about it before.
I'm actually going to do it.
I'm actually going to do the right thing here because I actually don't think he thought anyone else would have the guts to do it.
And he's probably right.
So I 100% agree about Butler.
I mean, he told me what he was thinking when he was down on the ground with a pile of Secret Service agents.
He was like, you're not afraid.
Get up.
This is embarrassing.
You're not afraid of these people.
Get up.
You're the president.
And I thought, boy, there's like nobody that kind of thinks that way when somebody's shooting at you.
There's almost nobody that thinks that way.
So he was made for this time.
But I was thinking this weekend, one reason I could never be president, and maybe because a lot of people like me have been president in the past.
He seems to know what he is the right thing to do, but he has this ability to actually pull the trigger where I thought all this weekend, I know he's surrounded by people going, Mr. President, this could end poorly.
And he knows that it could end poorly.
He knows that it'll be bad if it does end poorly or drags on for his campaign and for the Republicans, which hurt him in other ways.
But he just makes this decision anyway because he believes this decision is right and to hell with the consequences.
That's really unusual.
What gives him that?
Yeah.
And you know what, Glenn?
He sort of had the same attitude about all of this from the beginning.
I actually remember before he came down the golden escalator in 2015 to announce he was running for president.
I remember him telling us, you know what, kids, we're going to do this the right way.
And if that means that I go in and I get one term in office, then that's okay with me because I want to do the right things for this country.
And I want to make sure that things are set in motion properly because they haven't been for so long because so many people have been afraid to do things the right way because of politics, because of what you just said.
Maybe it impacts the Republican Party negatively or whatever it might be.
He's always felt like the consequences maybe he takes them seriously, but I think he understands the bigger picture.
And I think he understands that this is so much greater than him.
And it's so much greater than even this moment.
This is about the future of our country, the future of the world.
And he's always had this attitude of, I will do the right thing no matter what it costs me.
My God, look at what this man has been through.
He has pressed on.
And he's most any other normal person would have said a long time ago, enough is enough.
I can't do this.
But no matter what it is, he really is a unique individual.
And I do believe that he's a perfect person for this time, for this office.
And my God, forget my proximity to him.
I think all the time about how lucky I am just to live in a time when Donald Trump is president of the United States.
It's incredible stuff.
I actually pray Thanksgiving all the time that we're living in these times.
Just to witness what we're witnessing right now is really a remarkable time to be alive.
I heard you talk about the UFO thing.
I don't want to get in the UFO this time.
I'd really like to, but I know we're short on time.
But you said the way your father answered about UFOs, he didn't say something.
And you all looked at each other like, wow, he's not saying this.
So I wonder if he knows.
His countenance never seems to change to the average person.
You know, you're watching him and you'd have no idea, you know, when he's at Mar-a-Lago this weekend that he's launching a war.
You'd have no idea.
Did you see a countenance change?
Do you ever see a countenance change when he's weighing something this heavy?
Does the family notice?
I don't know what he's wrestling with, but he's wrestling with something.
To a certain extent, if you know someone really well, yeah, you see a little bit of change in them.
But, you know, he has an amazing ability as well to sort of, I don't know, compartmentalize things, maybe is the right way to describe it.
And, you know, when he's with us as a family, he's, you know, he's a family man and he's my father-in-law and my husband's dad and my kid's grandfather.
And then when he's on the job and he's doing what he needs to do, he's fully focused on that.
But, you know, I'll tell you, the only time I've ever seen him really change is truly after he left office on January 20th of 2021.
That's maybe the one moment I saw a different side of him.
And he was definitely down and he was definitely worried, not about himself, but about the country, I believe.
And he knew that day that he was going to have to come back because he wasn't finished and there was so much more to do.
But no, you know, it's pretty amazing to see a person who can do as much as he does.
And, you know, he likes to talk about the weave whenever he gives a speech, right?
He'll have words written.
He'll have a teleprompter speech.
But we all know Donald Trump does not like to say to the teleprompter and he weaves all around, but he ultimately comes back to the point.
And he's got this ability, I guess, to compartmentalize things and focus on what needs to happen in the moment and not let it weigh on him other times.
His speech, speaking of saying on teleprompter, was the most focused I've ever seen him on teleprompter with the State of the Union.
I think it was the best speech he's ever given in performance and also in strategy.
I mean, it was obvious that he was setting this really brilliant trap of stand if you believe that, you know, the government's first job is to protect U.S. citizens.
And that seemed, you know, that was clearly planned and really well done.
But I got the impression when they weren't standing for other things or they were shouting while everybody else was chanting USA, USA for the hockey, you had, what's her name, Ariana, what's her face, Presley, actually chanting KKK, KKK.
And your father-in-law looked at the left a lot of times and said, you people are crazy, or I can't believe you're not standing.
That seemed like he was genuinely surprised by how far they've gone and are willing to show it.
Do you think that is that accurate?
Well, God, aren't we all surprised by how far they've gone?
Aren't we all surprised?
I am.
Lynn, that at this point, it feels like we have, I said this the other day on Fox, it seems like there are more people who are pro-America in Iran right now than people in our own Democratic Party here in the United States who are pro-America.
It feels like it's not about Republican versus Democrat or left versus right.
This is about those of us who love this country and those who hate this country.
And when you are willing to side with terrorists, when you are willing to say that, you know, Nicholas Maduro, a drug lord who was responsible for hundreds of thousands of American deaths because of the poison he sent into this country, the way he terrorized his own people, that that's a bad thing to bring a guy like that to justice.
Can't admit that taking out the Ayatollah Khomeini, a person who has also been responsible for countless torture and death of his own people, of the American people.
My God, you can't admit that that's good.
You have a real problem.
But he's exposed so much of that.
And I think that, you know, he'll go down, I think in the history books, as if not the greatest president, one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.
There's no doubt about it.
The things he's been able to do just in the past year are remarkable.
But one of the big things that this president did is he exposed a lot.
He exposed the legacy media for being fake news.
He coined that term.
And so many people initially were like, what are you talking about?
They get it now.
He's exposed the rot in Washington, D.C., and he's exposed the Democrats for being absolute lunatics.
And I agree with you.
I think the State of the Union speech was one of his best speeches he's ever given.
And believe me, I've been to a lot of Donald Trump speeches in my life.
That was one of his best.
I loved every second of it.
Two hours flew by.
And if nothing else, he showed live on television to the American people.
Here is what you get when you vote for Democrats.
People who aren't willing to stand for our service members, people who are going to chant KKK instead of USA in a moment where the American hockey team comes back.
It's insane.
They're crazy.
And he's been able to expose all of it.
Let me ask you one last question.
I'm running out of time.
I know you have to go too.
But I have been trying to explain the big picture.
He is changing the way the whole system works all around the world.
And I believe he has gone after the system that is keeping people in their place and not allowing people to get into business and do all the things.
He's got to take all those gatekeepers that are global off of people's back.
And he's done that.
But people see that as not affecting them.
And I don't think they're going to really understand what Donald Trump has done for another maybe five years because it has such long-term ramifications.
But his own voters are saying, well, yeah, but the economy, the economy.
And there are signs the economy is doing much better.
Is he hearing that?
Because the worst thing that can happen is try to convince people that, no, you're not feeling it.
Is he aware of that?
Really listening to his people?
Because I've never seen him out of touch.
But if that doesn't change, we're going to have a hard time in the election.
Oh, I agree.
And believe me, he's focused on that.
And yes, this is not Biden 2.0, where they tell you that inflation is transitory and that you're just imagining prices are rising whenever everything is more expensive.
Look, the reality is, if you look at the numbers, things are trending in the right direction.
And Senator Markway Mullen gave me this analogy, and I think it is so spot on.
He said, you know, changing this economy back to what it was when he left office is almost like turning around an aircraft carrier.
It takes one mile to turn around an aircraft carrier.
This stuff doesn't happen overnight.
But I think, you know, you have the one big beautiful bill.
So much of that will actually start to be felt by the American people this year.
And it is about how they feel and they have to feel it to believe it.
And so, yeah, I think he has to continue to talk about what he's done.
He is absolutely listening to the people of this country.
Turning the Aircraft Carrier00:15:08
I mean, I don't know that we've had a president who has listened more to the people of this country or been more willing to communicate with the people of this country than Donald Trump and be as transparent as he has been on every possible front.
But it takes time.
And I do think we need to remind people of that.
Look at the gas prices.
Gas prices are under $3 a gallon right now in most states in America.
Some places under $2 a gallon.
Whenever you open up the pipelines, whenever you allow us to drill baby drill, whenever you do all the things that he's done for this economy, investment, real wage growth, that actually does impact people, but it doesn't happen overnight.
So I get it.
He hears it.
He understands it.
And I think people, hopefully, by the second quarter of this year are going to start feeling that.
Laura, I know your entire family has paid a deep, deep price.
My family prayed for all of the members of your family, even though you weren't there at Mar-a-Lago when this guy stormed the gates a couple of weeks ago.
I can't imagine what it's like to be a Trump right now.
We pray for you and appreciate it.
And thank you for being on.
Appreciate it.
God bless you.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, thank you.
Thank you for the prayers.
Thank you for everything.
And we appreciate you, Glenn.
Thanks so much.
Thanks.
You bet.
All right.
We're going to move our commercial here to some other time because I don't have time to get it.
I think if people can get to a place to understand the long term, and that's what we talked about on Monday when I came in here.
I said, forget about what everybody is saying.
Forget about, you know, is this, you know, is this about Iran and the nukes and everything?
Forget about all of that.
This is about a global strategy.
And you see what's happening now.
Did you see that Turkey, no, sorry, Syria has just put troops at the Lebanon border because they don't want Hezbollah escaping into their country?
Lebanon just arrested 12 Hezbollah fighters.
You're seeing a massive, massive difference in the Middle East.
Let's just pray this holds together and we actually can see some freedom sprout.
All right, let me tell you about Rush tax resolution.
This may come as a shock to you, but the IRS is not exactly known for being warm and fuzzy.
You know, you make a mistake.
They're not like, oh, geez, was that a mistake?
You get letters, you get official notices, you get penalty codes, you get deadlines, and you get guys now, thanks to Biden, armed with guns possibly showing up at your place of business.
Things can escalate quickly and your accounts can be frozen.
All of these things, if you miss a deadline, you miss a letter that you don't fully understand, it's not going to sort itself out.
You need to contact Rush Tax Resolution.
They deal with the IRS.
They know how the system works and they cut through the bureaucracy.
They know how to step in and start fixing the problem before it gets worse.
Just got a letter last week from a guy who has his own business.
He had to make, you know, during COVID and everything, had to make a decision.
Do I pay my taxes for payroll or do I pay my payroll?
He paid payroll.
Mistake.
Now he didn't know what to do.
Rush Tax Resolution came in and they solved that quickly.

On March 19th, Glenn exposes Islam's blueprint to conquer the West.
It's our first live torch special.
Watch it by joining glennbeck.com slash porch.
So let me just get through some clips from yesterday, some highlights of what is happening with Iran.
First of all, you know, let me play cut 10 here.
This is Marco Rubio at a press conference trying to break this down in simple English.
Here's cut 10.
Congress, our notification, listen, let me explain to you guys this in simple English.
Okay.
Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.
They have an ambition to have nuclear weapons.
They intend to develop those nuclear weapons behind a program of missiles and drones and terrorism that the world will not be able to touch them for fear of those things.
And this is the weakest they've ever been.
Now is the time to go after them.
The president made the decision to go after them, take away their missiles, take away their navy, take away their drones, take away their ability to make those things so that they can never have a nuclear weapon.
That's why the president made this decision.
It was the right decision.
And the world will be a safer place when these radical clerics no longer have access to these weapons.
You see how they're using them now.
Imagine how they would use them a year from now if they had more of these.
Imagine.
I mean, this is the press is saying he was unhinged.
He's just unhinged on that.
That's no.
Let me, can I try one more time to explain this in the simplest English possible?
Your questions, your logic is not logical.
Okay.
The press and the left, they are not, and members on the right, not being logical on this.
You can disagree with the war, but to claim that you don't understand, how is it that the press, the minute you say, you know, I live my life according to the way Jesus would have me live my life, you're immediately a zealot who just wants to round up and kill homosexuals.
That's the way the press views you.
You want to kill all moms at abortion clinics, all nurses, because I just, I follow Christ.
That's not what that means at all.
But you jump to that conclusion, but you have people who say, I'm going to wash the world in blood.
The Jews will burn in the fires of the Islamic fury.
And they're little Satan because we're coming after America, big Satan, death to America, all framed in religious terms.
And that's just, well, they're just religious.
That's just what they say.
I'm sorry.
We cannot afford your kind of logic anymore.
We cannot afford your kind of logic.
And what is crazy to me is the guy who has actual brain damage, Fetterman, actual brain, verifiable brain damage.
He gets it.
He's like the only Democrat that seems to really get it.
Here he is, cut five.
You know, it's pretty toxic for a Democrat to say, I happen to agree with the president on really anything at this point.
But again, find someone that opposes this saying, they've all said you're not, we can never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb.
Then what's your, you know, and that seems like that's happening.
Why can't you just acknowledge that's a good thing?
Why not?
No, Why can't?
Why can't you just say that?
You know, it's like, you know, this is 47 years.
It's like sanctions and treaties and all kinds of other negotiations and everything.
Nothing's worked, and that's clearly that's the case.
So why can't we all just say the world is safer and it's more just now because of what this happens?
You don't have to agree on everything, but it's like, yes, I'm the only Democrat because I'm not afraid of my base to just say, you know what, this was overall a good thing.
You don't have to agree on everything.
So I'm going to be honest.
So like, why can't you just acknowledge that one of the most evil people on the face of the earth was erased?
That's a good thing.
Boy, I got to tell you, there have been two things that have humbled me in going, you know, you think you're all that, Glenn.
You think you're so smart.
First one was the loss in 2020.
I thought America is over for sure.
We don't recover for this, you know?
And look at us.
Look at us.
I mean, you just never know.
And the other is Fetterman is so beyond brain damaged.
Now, at the time, he was much worse than he is now, but he's also a socialist and a Marxist, and he's going to be horrible.
Look how this guy has turned out.
I mean, honestly, I feel like this is what happens to us, except in the opposite, every time we appoint somebody to the Supreme Court.
You're like, okay, that guy, he's really going to get it for our side, right?
And then he flips, and you're like, what just happened?
This is the first time I've ever seen anybody flip to our side.
And while I'm here on senators, I wouldn't mind hearing a little more Fetterman.
But by the way, enjoy that.
His base hates him now, hates him in Pennsylvania.
I don't know how he's going to survive.
And, you know, maybe he doesn't care, which is probably the way you should go into office is knowing what you are right, what's right, saying what your values are, and then you represent the people.
And if they don't like it, they can vote you out.
But one guy, I cannot take another second on television on our side, so so-called our side.
Cut seven, this guy.
Cut seven, please.
One thing to President Trump Kish are watching.
In 1983, Ronald Reagan sent Marines and sailors to try to police and deal with the Lebanese Civil War.
They were at the end of the runway.
Hezbollah attacked the Marine barracks, killed 220 Marines, 18 sailors, and wounded 100 others.
Ronald Reagan, who I admire and love, withdrew and never did anything about it.
So I'm calling on President Trump today.
Join Israel to attack Hezbollah.
Avenge the Marines.
America never forgets.
Those 220 Marines and 18 sailors' families.
I can't take him.
I mean, I swear to you, I swear to you, this guy just loves war.
He hasn't met a war he just doesn't love.
He should not be the face of the Republicans on this because I look at him and go, oh, please shut up.
This guy has been saying the same thing and got us into every single war that we have fought over and over and over and over again.
You know, we're in there for 20 years and he's like, I don't know.
I think maybe we should give it another 20 years.
He has no credibility with me.
What soever.
Now he's talking about, you know, well, play cut six, please.
lindsey graham to trump cut six uh then okay well then our numbers are all different um Okay.
Donald Trump has been very consistent on all of this.
Here he is in 1980 on showing strength to Iran.
Remember, this is right after the hostages.
Listen to this.
When you get the respect of the other countries, then the other countries tend to do a little bit as you do, and you can create the right attitudes.
The Iranian situation is a case in point.
That they hold our hostages is just absolutely and totally ridiculous.
That this country sits back and allows a country such as Iran to hold our hostages, to my way of thinking, is a horror.
And I don't think they'll do it with other countries.
I honestly don't think they'll do it with other countries.
Obviously, you're advocating that we should have gone in there with troops, et cetera, and brought our boys out.
I absolutely feel that, yes.
I don't think there's any question.
There's no question in my mind.
I think right now we'd be an oil-rich nation.
And I believe that we should have done it.
And I'm very disappointed that we didn't do it.
And I don't think anybody would have held us in abeyance.
I don't think anybody would have been angry with us.
And we had every right to do it at the time.
I think we've lost the opportunity.
So he's been very consistent on this.
And every single president, including Reagan, has said we have to do what we're now doing.
And none of them have had the courage to do it.
And none of them have had it as a priority.
And quite honestly, I think it would have probably been a real mistake had we done it at any other time because no other president has had the vision on how to put this thing back together.
He was talking yesterday about how this may not work out.
You know, to our liking, they may go for somebody who is even more radical than the Imam we just killed.
Notice that he has not said that it can't be a religious state.
I've not heard a president talk about countries and regime change like this president has talked about, Venezuela and also Iran.
He's not dictating, you're not, you know, he's not walking in going, you're going to have the U.S. Constitution and you're going to be blah, blah, blah.
He's not dictating that.
He's saying this is unworkable and we want free, fair elections and let the people decide, which is really fascinating.
And I don't know how you get that in Iran without really taking out the power structure.
And by the way, you know, we kill the Ayatollah.
Israel kills the Ayatollah and kill all the people around him.
Then they blow up another room yesterday, another meeting where they were going to pick the new Ayatollah and they kill all of those people.
So who do they pick?
The son of the last Ayatollah.
And people are like, he might be worried.
He might be more of a zealot than the last guy.
Let me ask you something.
If, let's say Iran came in and they killed Donald Trump, God forbid, they killed Donald Trump.
And then they killed a room full of people that could replace Donald Trump.
And we were left with Donald Trump Jr.
Do you think Donald Trump Jr. would be softer on Iran or harder on Iran?
I mean, I don't think this one is all that complex myself, but we could, you know, just go back to the policies of Bill Clinton.
Boy, he was good, right?
He was good on all this.
And Bill Clinton, boy, he's looking good.
Have you seen the videotape of him in Congress answering the questions about Epstein?
Clinton Policies vs. Trump Jr00:02:25
By the way, can I just say, excuse the language, but what a nasty ass gank Hillary Clinton is.
I mean, I just watching her answer those questions, like, I just wouldn't even want to be in the room with her.
She's just so nasty.
All the time, she's nasty.
I would imagine even her grandkids are like, please don't send me to Grandma Hillary's house, please.
And Bill is, I don't know what he, we have the video of him smiling as he's flipping through the Epstein photos.
They finally had to take him away.
Go ahead and play this video.
I think it's got one.
So here he is just looking like, oh, look at that.
He's smiling.
Like, oh, this is great.
His lawyer reaches over and she's like, no, no, no.
And he's like, no, give those back to me.
I want to look at those.
And she's taking them.
No, stop it.
He's like, look at this.
This is us having such a good time.
Mr. President, we have about five minutes remaining.
Look at him.
He's just like, he's smiling.
And I mean, that is just really disturbing.
Now, Whoopi Goldberg said something yesterday.
This is like a tree in the forest.
She said something yesterday and somebody heard it.
And I read about it today.
And she said, you know, this is ridiculous.
There's no accusations.
There's not a single woman that has come out and said he did anything.
This is obscene that they're going, they're putting him through this.
And I thought to myself, okay, Whoopi, now that we know your standards, can you name the women that have come out and said this about Donald Trump and Epstein?
Because I can show you the documents in the Epstein files.
Why is this not known everywhere?
The documents in the Epstein files where Epstein is saying, you know who I think is ratting me out?
You know who I think is calling the police and helping the police and the FBI is Donald Trump.
How is that not known?
But I just want to take you at your standard.
Okay.
If we're just looking for women who have accused, okay, I'll take that standard.
And there hasn't been anybody on Bill Clinton that has accused him of anything.
Where are the women with Donald Trump?
Whoopee.
Back in a minute.
Rapid Radios and Home Title Lock00:03:20
Let me tell you about rapid radios.
Imagine you're helping to organize a big community event.
You've got the parking, the volunteers, you know, all on one end of a field, food truck set up on the other, stage for music, kids' area, security walk in the grounds.
It's a lot, okay?
You try to do it the modern way, you know, text change, you know, phone calls, group apps, all of that stuff, supposed to keep people connected.
That ain't working.
It's a disaster.
People don't see messages.
Signals drop out when the crowd gets big.
Finally, you got to call somebody.
Okay, the situation has already changed.
Switch to rapid radios.
If you're in this kind of a scenario, and that could just be building a big project that could be, you've got people all over the city, all over the state, and they all have to stay connected.
Whatever it is, you can talk to each other immediately, instantly, and everything will run smoother because you can talk to each other with rapid radios.
They work nationwide.

Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways.
We lock the doors, we install the cameras, but there's another way that your home can be targeted, and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property.
It is actually called home title fraud, and it's exactly what it sounds like.
Criminals forge documents, they file them with the county, they transfer ownership of your home into their name.
And then once all that happens, they can attempt to take out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under you.
The scary part is like you don't really know much about this as it's going on.
Regular homeowners' insurance doesn't typically protect you from this.
And the mortgage company isn't looking for it either.
That's why you need Home Title Lock.
They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal fraud.
So you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem.
Something suspicious shows up, you can immediately act and you can get it out, you knock it out quickly.
I've partnered with Home Title Lock for a while now because I want you to be able to protect your equity.
I want you to be able to find out if you're already a victim of this because it's devastating if you get caught up in it.
The promo code is Blaze.
Blaze is the promo code at home titlelock.com.
You get a free title history report, plus a free trial of their million-dollar triple lock protection, 24-7 monitoring of your title, urgent alerts to any changes.

Here's a clip.
I remember the smell of dust that morning.
Dry, metallic.
The radio was playing some old gospel track.
Mahala Jackson, I think.
That's when the music just cut out mid-note.
Switched to silence.
Not static.
Silence.
I think that's when I knew right then, without a word, it had begun.
I could hear it on the CV: riots in Atlanta, roadblocks in Chicago.
A woman in Denver, she was shot over a loaf of bread.
I had a small transmitter receiver in my basement.
I had a voice I hadn't heard in years.
Maybe you're hearing this.
You're not alone.
Don't believe what they're telling you.
DC has issued a shelter-in-place order.
It was planned.

You told yourself it was a bad idea, but you're like, I'm an adult.
I make good decisions.
And then you walked away because, you know, nobody makes it quite like they do at 11:47 p.m.
And now you're standing there waiting for change and the door swings open and the guy with a knife decides this is his big moment.
The only thing you have right now is that big burrito.
You could throw it at his open mouth, hoping that maybe you would put him in the john for a while so you could get out.
Or you have a non-lethal option right there in your back, and that's the Burna Launcher.
It fires powerful chemical irritant projectiles designed to disrupt a threat and create distance without using deadly force.

Why Violent Criminals Deserve Deportation00:15:32
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We're glad you're here.
There's a lot of things going on today, and I want to talk to you a little bit about the justice system today.
We're going to get into the Texas election and what happened, but I want to talk to you about the justice system because if we can't get the justice system and ICE down, we don't have a country left.
And everybody's trying to make this, you know, into something that it is absolutely not.
And I got to spend some time with Virginia here in just a second.
We'll do that in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about the International Fellowship.
Right now, millions of Israelis are living with a sound that stops your heart the moment you hear it, with a red siren.
When that red alert siren goes off, you've got about 15 seconds to find a bomb shelter.
That's the reality in Israel right now, after a joint U.S. and Israeli operation struck the military targets in Iran.
And Iran has responded with missiles and drones.
And cities like Tel Aviv have already seen sirens and air defenses activated like 40 times a day.
Can you imagine that?
That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews prepares for moments like this long before they happen.
The fellowship has been deploying mobile bomb shelters and supporting hospitals as they transition into emergency operations, preparing thousands of food packages for families and the elderly, equipping first responders with life-saving medical kits and protective gear.
Israel, you know, they go about their business, you know, and they go about it in the darkest of hours.
Either way, somebody's got to do something to help these people.
And I believe it is our Christian duty to help anybody who is not part of the problem and, you know, sending over missiles.
We got to stop those people, but we need to help anybody who has been hurt by this.
You can rush your gift right now by calling 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-IFCJ, Christians and Jews standing together in times of need.
Or you can go online at ifcj.org.
That's ifcj.org.
All right.
I want to talk to you about, you know, the political debates in this country are one thing, and then there are moral debates.
And we're in a moral quagmire right now.
And it's by our own choosing because people are not engaging in critical thinking at all.
They take whatever they hear online as gospel and they just go with it.
And they've selected teams.
Let me talk to you about what's happening in Virginia.
There's a lot of things happening in Virginia, but the latest, the one that I want to start with is the governor, Spanberger, who ran as a moderate.
I'll have you know, ran as a moderate.
She is now saying that she will not turn over a guy who murdered a woman at a bus stop, stabbing her to death.
Okay.
Will not turn him over to ICE because they need a warrant.
Can I ask you, and this is an honest question.
Why?
Why, for the love of Pete, are the Democrats so intent on protecting murderers, rapists?
This guy had been scooped up off the street in Fairfax County.
The police knew who this guy was because they had arrested him so many times.
He had been arrested like 40 times.
One of them was for rape.
And they let him out on the streets.
Returned him to the streets because they want to protect him and his rights.
Excuse me?
And so he wasn't deported.
And now he's not only raped, he stabbed a woman to death.
And Spanberger thinks that this is in her best interest.
Honestly, I mean, that's really, that's really callous of me and cynical.
You know, I'm thinking immediately to politics.
She thinks it's in your best interest to let this guy out on the street.
And I really don't understand.
Immigration policy can be really, really complicated.
Border enforcement, complicated, okay?
Work visas, asylum laws, all of that stuff.
But in this case, it is not complicated at all.
A woman standing at a bus stop, a normal American moment, waiting for the day to begin, waiting for a bus, and she's stabbed to death.
And this isn't somebody who just slipped through the cracks one time.
A guy who had been arrested again and again and again, more than 40 charges, assault, rape, and now murder, stabbing.
40 warnings that something was deeply wrong here.
Can I ask you, if it is not the government's job to protect, what is their job?
Because they weren't protecting you or this woman or anybody in Virginia.
They weren't protecting any American by putting him back on the street.
Now, here's the question that every single American should be asking.
And I mean this honestly, what possible justification exists for keeping somebody like this in our communities?
Can you give me one single explanation that is logical, that is not evil, quite honestly?
Why?
This is not an illegal immigrant that came here to make a better job working instruction, make a better life for his family.
That's not this story.
It's not a family that crossed the border looking for opportunity.
This is a violent criminal who has conducted violence, raped a woman on the streets of Virginia.
Let go.
Then he gets out.
He stabs another woman.
Not a surprise.
And now stands accused of murder.
But once he gets out, they're going to put him back on the street.
I want to sincerely want to ask all of the politicians who believe this clear and calmly, I want to ask you, what is your argument for protecting him?
What is your moral reasoning here?
What principle says the safety of American citizens should come second?
Forget that he's even illegal.
Let's just say he's a standard old born in the USA rapist and stabber.
What possible reason?
Because government exists to protect your rights.
This is to protect you before healthcare, before education, before social programs.
Government exists to protect the innocent.
That is your first job.
That's your sacred duty.
And if you can't do those things, why, why?
Hey, what are you doing?
Why aren't you doing those things and why should you even have a job?
What's more important than that?
If somebody enters this country illegally, okay, we can debate.
And then commits violent crimes, we can debate.
We can?
How?
Question's not complicated.
The answer should be immediate.
Remove the threat, deport them, protect the public.
But somewhere along the way, parts of our political leadership began treating violent offenders as if they're the ones who needed protection.
You can say little kids who came here, who were dragged here by their parents, they had nothing.
You make that case all day long and we can argue that.
And you might even win.
Okay.
But I really would like to hear the argument on this one.
Really?
I mean, I'm left asking a really simple question.
Who are you actually working for?
The murderer or the mother waiting at the bus stop?
Which one?
The mom or the murderer?
I know it's tough.
They both start with M. Every time a violent offender is released back into the community and you have a way to remove them by deporting them.
Every time the charges are dropped, every time the bureaucratic excuse delays the removal, the risk is not theoretical.
This is not a one-off.
We're seeing this over and over again.
The threat is real.
A family loses her daughter.
A husband loses her wife.
Children lose a mom.
And every single bit of it was preventable.
All of it.
All of it.
There are some things that we can't prevent.
This we can.
Are we a nation of laws?
Are we a nation that actually cares about its citizens?
You know, the Constitution protects the accused.
It protects due process, and it should.
But due process was never meant to become a revolving door for violent predators.
Are you out of your mind?
When somebody shows you 40 times who they are, you believe them and you remove them from the society that you were elected to protect and serve.
How is this controversial?
How is this partisan at all?
This is not ideological.
This is common sense.
You wake anybody up in any country in the world that understands freedom and right and wrong and ask them, hey, this guy just murdered somebody.
They were arrested before for raping somebody.
They've assaulted people 40 different times.
They shouldn't be here in the first place.
Should we keep him around?
Or should we turn them into the government and have the government deport them?
From a dead sleep, everybody knows the answer to that one.
And if you're a politician and you can't immediately see violent criminals who are here illegally should be removed immediately, you have forgotten the most basic responsibility of public service.
Protect the people.
This woman at the bus stop, she wasn't a political talking point.
She was a mom.
She was a human being.
She had a life.
She had people who loved her.
And tonight, those people remain and there's an empty chair at her table.
So again, I would like to ask, now I know I'm not going to get a question because nobody on the other side wants to come on this program because I'll ask you calmly, rationally, and morally, what possible justification exists for protecting somebody like this instead of protecting the American people, that mother, if there is one.
I think the country deserves to hear it.
The country is starving to hear it.
If you have some enlightenment, share it with the people.
But you don't share it with the people because there is no such thing as any enlightenment on this one.
The leaders responsible, you should have the courage to state your case.
And if you can't, get the hell out.
Protecting innocent people is not a partisan position.
It is not.
It is the foundation of civilization itself.
Now, what she'll say is, all I want to deport, all I want to deport is a warrant.
Oh my gosh.
Let me clear this one up.
Politicians, they are so smarmy.
They are so dishonest.
It is such, they're playing this game.
And again, I ask you, they are playing the game with Americans' lives.
And you keep hearing the same line, ICE needs a warrant from a judge.
Okay, that sounds reasonable, right?
Here's the problem.
People don't understand.
And they know you don't understand this.
Immigration enforcement is not criminal law.
When the FBI arrests somebody for murder or robbery, yes, they need a criminal warrant from a judge.
One reason why you don't have this going through a judge is because you have 20 million people and not enough judges.
But let's go back.
This isn't done out of haste.
This is immigration enforcement and it is civil law.
And Congress designed it differently.
This just didn't happen under Trump.
They didn't just stop issuing warrants under Trump.
They've never had warrants from a judge, ever.
They have what are called administrative warrants authorized by federal law and issued through the Department of Homeland Security.
And it's not some unusual loophole.
Federal agencies operate this way.
Do you think the IRS has to go to a judge?
I wish they did, but they don't.
IRS can compel records without a criminal warrant.
The SEC can enforce civil violations without a warrant from a judge.
The EPA can issue enforcement orders.
They can come in and shut your factory down without a judge ever looking at it.
Why?
Because it's administrative.
It's civil.
So when politicians suddenly say, you know, those ICE agents, they need, where is the judge's warrant?
Excuse me?
Never in the history of America have we had that because that's not the law.
You know what that is?
A political roadblock.
That's a political game.
They are intentionally, they know the rules.
They've played this as a politician forever on both sides.
But they know they're counting on you being so stupid and all of your friends being so stupid that you'll never figure this one out.
Well, you figured it out.
Instead of holding somebody safely inside a jail where ICE can pick them up, they're free to go out and stab people to death.
Then ICE has to go out and hunt them down again in neighborhoods and communities, which causes all kinds of problems.
It's more dangerous.
It's less effective.
And it makes absolutely no sense.
And it has never been this way in the law.
This isn't about the Constitution and your rights.
Okay?
It's not.
This isn't about due process.
This is about local politicians deciding they do not want to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
So they create a new requirement that does not exist in federal law, nor has it ever.
Who Are You Protecting?00:03:30
Why?
I mean, I can see, hey, little Jose, he has nothing to do.
He just wants school and mom and dad, they're working.
They're busting their butts.
I know people like that.
Okay, we can talk about that.
We're not talking about this.
We are talking about people who have raped, assaulted, murdered.
I mean, we have the right to ask a very simple question.
Again, who are you protecting, Democrats?
Who are you protecting?
You're not protecting the innocent.
don't don't don't don't create a new excuse on why dangerous people were released back into our community when it is a lie we can disagree but stop lying to us america we must educate ourselves on how this process works because if we don't if we are not educated The press is not standing up to educate you.
The press is not telling you the truth.
They're standing with them.
Yeah, where's that judicial warrant?
There's never been a system of judicial warrants for this ever in the history of America, ever.
I just want the answer to the one question.
Who are you protecting?
Why are you standing to protect a murderer of a mother at a bus stop instead of the mom?
Why?

There was a time in this country when preparedness was just common sense.
My grandparents, they didn't talk about supply chains or global crisis.
They knew winter's coming.
If times get hard, you better have a way to put food on the table.
They built root cellars.
They had shelves.
Grandmother used to can all summer long.
Why did she do that?
Well, because it was part of the culture back then, but also because she grew up in the Depression.
I remember every summer I would hear stories of the Depression.
There was a time when we didn't have any food.
You couldn't have any food.
You couldn't afford anything and people starved.
But because we can't, I mean, we heard them all over.
But we have just grown so arrogant that those things will never happen and our system can never break.
What are we?
Come on, America.
We're not this stupid.

Here's the good news from Harmeet Dylan.
As of Monday, all 39 individuals indicted in the attack on Cities Church in Minnesota have been arrested, two of them while abroad.
I may have texted a source in the DOJ to ask where those two goobers were, what country they went to, where they fled or were vacationing.
Wow.
Costa Rica.
But yeah.
So we have to give Pam Bondi and Harmeet Dylan credit where credit's due.
Good.
Good.
Yeah, let's hope her justice is seen through.
Harmeet is a monster, man.
A monster.
There is, you know, I'd take on a lot of people, you know, if, but if somebody said, who's the attorney on the other side?
And they said, Harmeet Dylan, I would be like, shut it down now.
Confess, run, whatever you got to do.
Do not face Harmeet Dylan because she's just, she's relentless and she's getting the job done.
And, you know, well, they have a right to protest.
Well, I have a right to practice my religion without you in my face.

You ever had one of those dreams when you're, you know, your head weighs a thousand pounds and you're trying to get somewhere fast, but your body just won't cooperate?
You're pushing forward.
You're trying to move, but everything is so heavy and slow.
You're like walking through wet concrete.
I know.
I haven't had that dream either, but it would be weird, wouldn't it?
But that's the way it would feel like if you're navigating through some of your finances.
You're working, you're making payments, you're doing everything you're supposed to do, but you're not going anywhere.
High interest debt has a way of doing that.
It weighs down every step.
So even when you're moving, it doesn't feel like you're getting anywhere.
This is where American Financing can help.
Look, you might have made decisions because when inflation was like skyrocketing, you didn't have any choice.
Yeah, you had to put it on your credit card.
Okay, you got to get that paid down, especially if your credit card is way out of whack.

Let's talk a little bit about what happened in Texas.
Good news.
It looks like Proposition 10 passed, which means it's going to the general ballot in November.
Is Texas going to pass a law that says no Sharia law ever in Texas?
I would say that is a no-brainer, but I'm not sure anymore.
I'm not sure anymore because there's too many people walking around with no brains, apparently.
But that passed, so it is going to November.
Crockett, it's very disappointing.
Crockett lost to Tallarico.
Explain.
We know who Crockett is.
She's nuts.
Now, she's claiming that this was this, it was stolen from her.
I don't know who would have stolen it.
It wasn't the GOP that would have stolen it because the GOP, I would have loved to have her run.
You have the side of that?
Go ahead, play.
Here she is.
We should all be standing together, Democrats, Republicans, and we should all be raising hail.
But unfortunately, this was always the plan.
And so I am grateful for this court order.
And as Congressman Allred has already stated, we encourage each and every one of you to remain resilient.
We cannot allow this type of behavior to be rewarded because so long as they know that they can win, even if it means cheating, then they will continue to do it.
Who is they?
And by the way, did you see any reason she's made any point here, brought up anything that makes you think that there is a possibility of it?
Because I know that it exists.
Cheating.
Is this something we should look into?
I mean, I think we should treat all of these equally and look into it, but what is she claiming?
I don't know, but there were more people who voted in the Texas Senate Democrat primary than the Republican Senate primary.
And that is a little concerning.
But I have a feeling it was some of our own on our side that were voting for Crockett and creating a surge.
I was going to say, if you could have voted for her over Tell Rico, I think I would have.
I think I would be like, yeah, I'm going to vote for that one.
I mean, so I think I have a feeling that was probably a few Republicans voting in that.
But we should take it.
We should take claims of all cheating seriously.
And if there was cheating, then it should be it should be taken care of.
Talrico is a is a real problem.
Do you want to explain a little why Talrico is so Tallrico?
Sorry.
It's okay.
Yeah, he's a smooth-talking Presbyterian who is a wolf in sheep's clothing, if you will.
Is he getting his ministerial license?
I know that he was on the way to it.
On the way to it.
But yeah, he's gotten high-profile appearances with Joe Rogan.
Many of the cable news networks on the left love him, but he is, he's all dressed up in socialism.
I actually think that they refer to his faith as a Christian version of socialism, if there's such a thing.
I know you have a rant on that coming up.
I do.
Jason's laughing.
I want to hear why.
I mean, what pisses me off is because he reminds me of a Raphael Warnock, where we pulled up, we did an entire show on Warnock, where he's just proselytizing at the pulpit there socialism and communism.
But he will never get accused of being a Christian nationalist ever.
No, ever.
But neither will Tallarico.
You know, they can say whatever the heck they want to and bend the scriptures any way they want to.
Never will get accused of that.
Right.
Because that kind of religion isn't dangerous.
Although that kind of religion is the kind of religion that leads to 100 million dead in the 20th century.
But don't worry about that.
Yeah, he strikes me as dangerous because you're going to get, there's a thing in Texas where I think Texans see scandal and they don't like scandal at all.
And that, I guess, is a good thing, but not when the scandal blinds you to who the other person is.
And Tallarico seems like a very good, smooth talker that can do exactly what happened in Virginia and say, hey, I'm a moderate.
I'm just, you know, I'm just following the words of Christ.
I just care about my fellow man.
And then next thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire who has had all of his money taken by the federal government for some stupid, crazy program.
And I think this is why a lot of people are concerned you might have Cornyn win that runoff against Paxton in May because he doesn't have a scandal surrounding him.
And you know Democrats are going to play some of the things that we're going to do.
Cornyn sucks beyond belief.
I mean, how are you going to, I mean, I'm going to vote.
I'm going to vote if I were in Texas, I'd just switch my voting.
But if I would vote in Texas, I would have a really hard time voting for Cornyn.
It would take everything in me to check that box for Cornyn.
Everything in me to check that box.
And the only reason I would do it is because I would know who Tallarico is.
And so I would check it.
But most Republicans are not going to pay that much attention.
And they're going to see this guy as, oh, you know what?
I don't really like Cornyn.
I'm kind of sick of Cornyn.
What has he done lately?
We need some fresh blood in there.
And this guy seems like a good guy of God.
Watch, that's what will happen.
Tell Rico as a good chance of winning.
What pisses me off with Cornyn is he is everything that the entire voting population cannot stand about politics right now.
He is the establishment candidate and he has always survived within the establishment.
Going back to the Tea Party, where he's voting for bailouts, I mean, he should not have made it past there.
It makes no sense to me going all the way up to the validity shooting where he's trying to use that to push gun laws, red flag laws, things like that.
I'm like, how is this guy here?
But he is that in-depth of the establishment.
But now if you're in Texas, if you look at all of his campaign ads, every other word is Trump.
He is trying to tie himself to Trump so hard.
It's like, you know, Cornyn went to the grocery store, bought peas, and Trump.
Cornyn went to the park today, slid on the slide, and Trump.
I'm like, oh my gosh, it's so annoying.
He's like a cockroach.
What's interesting about getting rid of him?
You may not, but what's interesting about this is his campaign was the most expensive in Senate primary race history.
He's been $125 million and yet is only headed to a runoff.
He didn't win handily.
You would think with that amount of money behind him, he would have won handily.
So it's going to be an interesting amount.
If Paxton hadn't have had his scandal that happened when he was AG and they tried to impeach him and everything else, if he wouldn't have had that, he would have beat Cornyn.
But Cornyn spent enough money and there's enough people going, I'm not sure about Paxton, blah, blah, blah, that it had to go to a runoff.
But I'm telling you, Tellarico is a real, real danger, especially with the way things are running in Texas.
Texas, I'm telling you, we lose Texas.
We lose the country forever.
And Texans, wake the hell up.
It's not the tech.
You know what?
You need to move away from Texas and then come back.
It's not the Texas that it used to be.
It's not.
They're moving in from California.
What do you think they're going to vote for?
You've got to stand up and defend Texas.
We're going to lose Texas if we're not careful.
And it could happen with the primary.
I mean, it could happen with the Senate this time around.
Looking at some of the voting trends, it is very, especially if this is a projection to where this is going in other states as more of these elections start popping up.
But there's something going on in Texas with voting.
You can't even look at my social media right now.
Everything popping up is a different group pushing early voting for the left.
Something big with funding for that is going on.
And if you look at early voting.
Early voting.
Early voting.
I was talking to somebody in Washington State the other day and they said, you know, when the state of Washington turned around, because 2016, it was like the number one state for business, like top three business day.
Now, you can't get out of there fast enough if you're a businessman.
I mean, they are just, they're crazy.
He said the whole thing really started to turn once they had early voting.
Once they did early voting, it was over.
And, you know, that's why the Save Act has to be passed.
And, you know, the Save America Act is the one that Donald Trump was pushing, and that's what they're trying to get through.
And that includes the early voting and the mail-in ballots and all of that stuff.
It's just all got to stop.
I mean, you know, we didn't have these problems before.
I know it was a hassle that we all had to go to vote on a Tuesday, but we didn't have these problems before.
Why are we inventing these problems?
We're making it easier and easier and easier to vote.
And as we do that, we say, and we're making it really easy for everybody to vote, which makes it safer.
Those two things don't go together.
They never go together.
What are we doing?
Also, Chip Roy is now headed for a runoff with Mays Middleton.
I don't think we've had Mays on, have we?
We haven't, but I think this is David Barton's guy.
Yeah, I think it is.
I think it is.
We should have him on.
Crenshaw, thank God.
Crenshaw.
Oh, thank God he's gone.
What will happen to his salary, his way of life?
How will he be able to do that?
Oh, he'll go into the military-industrial complex.
That's what it is.
You don't think he can live off of the congressional trading?
Well, yeah, of course he can live off of that, but he'll go into the military-industrial complex.
Any doubt on that one, Jason?
Oh, no, 100%.
That's what's going to happen.
The thing that I was really peaking my interest on this is not only are we, did Jasmine Crockett take a hit here, but also did you see that Al Green is headed to a runoff?
We might be done with Al Green.
The scariest thing possible is that the stupid within the Democratic Party looks like it's being targeted big time.
And I kind of want the stupid to stay there.
They represent their party well.
I'm so torn.
I'm so torn.
I would rather have the stupid than the people who are effective and actually believe in Marxism.
So, yeah, I would rather have the stupid.
Tony Gonzalez, he's in a runoff.
Now, he had scandals of an affair.
And then didn't his girlfriend set herself on fire?
Alleged girlfriend set herself on fire?
Yeah, this is trouble.
He's headed to a runoff with Brandon Herrera.
Who's MAGA?
He's very MAGA, very two-way.
I'm a little interested to see if he's impacted by the affair scandal, what will happen to others who have been impacted, or if they will be impacted by affair scandals.
Don't affairs seem like so quaint now.
So 2016?
Yeah, they're just so, oh, they had an affair.
Now everybody's like, oh, no, who hasn't?
And you're like, wait, what?
It does seem like voters are more interested in policy these days than I guess.
No, they're not.
No.
No, they're not.
Well, how did we get Trump?
Because they want somebody who's going to disrupt the system.
That's what they're interested in.
They want somebody that will just do something.
And when I say that, they mean a Marxist who will just give me free stuff or somebody who is not going to be like John Corny, or I mean, yeah, John Cornyn and just do the same old stuff.
They're looking for Donald Trump won because, I mean, it's really funny.
In 2016, actually 2007, I said, if Barack Obama wins, we're going to get a guy who is the guy who sits at the end of the bar and just says something that everybody loves, but they think he's a little nuts.
And he might even have like a little ketchup stain on his tie because he's just like you.
If Obama wins, that's what the next president's going to be because of the pendulum.
That was Donald Trump.
Okay.
Then I said, if Donald Trump wins, you're going to get some sort of a Marxist kind of guy.
That's exactly, we didn't get it in the president because he was just a mask.
Okay.
Then the next thing that we had to get was somebody who's just going to tear down the system.
I think this time by 2028, you're going to have a Marxist and hopefully a constitutionalist.
But I think we're going to have the choice in front of us.
It will be a clear choice.
Marxism or capitalism.
That's what's going to happen in 2028.
Patriot Mobile vs. Socialism00:04:36
You watch.
All right.
More in just a second.
First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
This year is a turning point.
I mean, do you feel it?
Those who hate America are not quiet.
They're aggressive.
They're confident and they're open about what they feel about America.
And, you know, we care more about the murderers on the streets than the moms.
The fight just doesn't happen just in Washington.
It shows up every day in decisions that you make, including who you choose to do business with.
Patriot Mobile has been on this front line of fighting for all of the amendments in our Constitution and the things that we hold dear.
They are America's only Christian conservative wireless company, and they don't just provide wireless service.
They actually support all of the causes that you care about.
Patriot Mobile is even co-sponsoring the American Journey Experience Sea to Shining Sea with Moms for Liberty on Ellis Island.
I'll be there speaking because, you know, I believe in showing up on ideas that are, you know, built the country.
I want you to switch to patriotmobile.com, patriotmobile.com slash Beck, get a free month of service.
I got to make up a commercial that I missed last hour because we had Laura Trump on.
Burna Launcher.
Burna Launcher is a great, in fact, I have mine right here.
If I'm not carrying my gun, I'm carrying my Burna Launcher.
This looks just like a gun, except when you pull out the magazine, you have these instead of bullets.
This one is just a kinetic round that hits you and it hits you hard and it'll stop you.
Just beneath that is a tear gas round.
You hit that within 10 feet of somebody, you're going down with tear gas.

So over the summer, I wrote a thriller.
It's a series, and it's available today on the Torch.
You sign up for the Torch, you get it for free.
It is called Days of Ash.
And it is what happens to the world as it breaks down and you're watching it through the eyes of one guy.
And what happens to the world is really, really, it's a dystopian thriller you don't want to miss.
Second half of the season, first season is out now.
Yeah, I was listening to it on my way into work.
Some people listen to NPR.
I was listening to Days of Ash.
Free with your torch membership, by the way.
It is, it's really, really good.
You don't want to miss it.
You can grab it now.
Season one, fully released.
Days of Ash today.
Glennbeck.com slash torch.
We'll be right back.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Glenn Beck is on.
Hello, America.
I want to spend a little time today explaining why socialism is not a good idea, why socialism always fails.
And I'm going to start with the new child care program that Mamdani and Kathy Hochul have just come up with.
They've just put in, what was it, $73 million of state funding for child care from six weeks old to five years old.
Why Socialism Fails00:14:41
And it's only going to cost, well, you could do this privately.
Privately, it would cost you $23,000 per child.
But the state has come up with a way, and I don't know how they crunch these numbers to get this great deal, but they found a way to do it for the low-low price of $36,000.
Where are you getting the money?
And why is it more expensive?
Well, I'll answer that question.
It's part of the joys of socialism.
We go there here in 60 seconds.
For somewhere out there in America, there is a retired couple who spent half the year on the road.
They've done the work.
They put in the long and difficult years.
They raised the kids, paid off the house.
Now they're doing what they always said they wanted to do, and that's travel, see the country, taking their time, enjoying the sights.
But there's one thing you always think about when you're thousands of miles of home, and that is, did we lock the doors?
How's the house?
It burned down, has it?
Simply Safe is a smart home security system designed to protect your home, whether you're there in the next room or you're three time zones away.
Sensors are guarding your doors and your windows.
Cameras keep an eye on things.
If something goes wrong, well before somebody even making it to the window or the front door to get in, the monitoring is there.
They see somebody climb over the fence, come into the yard, and start to head towards a window, and they can actually speak to that person.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, what are you doing?
This private property.
If they don't turn around, next thing they'll say is, we're calling the police right now.
They're on your way, on their way.
You should turn around right now.
That's the kind of system you get with SimplySafe.
And you get 50% off your new SimplySafe system at simply safe.com slash Beck.
Get the 24-7 monitoring, simply safe.com slash Beck.
There is no safe like SimplySafe.
Okay.
So taxpayers in New York, whatever taxpayers are left, taxpayers are going to shell out more than $36,000 per child for Mamdani's free 2K pilot program.
Okay?
That's $13,000 more per child than the private market.
Let me repeat that.
Program designed to make childcare less expensive and cheaper is 55% more expensive than the system that already exists.
Why wouldn't you just say, you know what, instead of coming up with our whole new system, why don't we just use that system and we'll pay them the $23,000 instead of the $36,000?
Because this is not a bug.
This is the system.
All right.
I put up on the chalkboard, there is a three-step pattern to socialist programs.
Okay.
And you can almost explain every socialist program in three steps.
Step one, you got to declare something a right.
Housing is a right.
Healthcare is a right.
Childcare is a right.
Because you have to start there because once you declare it a right, you never talk about the cost again.
You talk about morality.
You talk about you don't believe that children should be taken care of.
No, but I, but it's 26, it's 20, it's 36,000 instead of 23, that this is a right.
We're doing what's right.
Okay.
So anyone asking about math instantly becomes a villain because it's a human right.
The second step is they promise you that it'll only cost the rich.
You know, if we just got these rich people to pay their fair share, millionaires are going to pay.
Okay.
That's who's going to pay for this.
The millionaires, the people who aren't paying their fair share of taxes.
Okay.
That's step two.
It's only going to be paid for by the rich.
It doesn't affect you.
You just get the free stuff.
All right.
Here's the problem.
Millionaires, unlike most people, are very mobile.
Okay.
They don't like something.
They move.
They can move.
When taxes spike, they move.
Why?
Well, we saw France.
They put a wealth tax on.
Even French this.
The French put on a wealth tax for billions and uber millionaires.
People started moving out of the country and they're like, okay, that was a bad idea.
And they reversed it.
When they leave, what happens?
The tax base collapses, we're only going to uh, this will only be affect the top 10 of wage earners and you're so far away from that.
You don't have to worry about the top 10.
You're not in the top 10.
Unless the top 10 decide to leave, then guess who's in the top 10?
The one that was the 80 to 90 percent, and if they leave, Guess who's in the top 10 percent.
As jobs start to go away, as people get poorer because of socialism, you find yourself in the top 10 percent.
Somebody's got to pay for it.
And then the third step that happens every time with socialism, you can count on these three steps.
The system becomes unsustainable.
It starts to break.
And then the government says, we've got to fix this.
Okay, they don't say, let's get out of it.
They say, we're going to fix this.
And here's why it breaks.
Because the government, Marxism, socialists, they don't respond to signals.
The market signals.
They don't respond to that.
They respond to political incentives.
So who cares if it's 36,000 over 23?
We're not talking about math.
We're talking about rights.
And you're not going to have to worry about it.
The rich are going to pay for it.
And when it doesn't work, they know all they have to do is just find a way to convince you that somebody else is screwing you and you'll continue to vote for them.
That's a lot easier than fixing things.
So the costs rise, bureaucracy grows, fraud appears, and suddenly the system costs far more than the private system it replaced.
Because we know this one will, because it started there.
And that's what we're seeing.
So why does this happen?
Well, it's happening now because people are feeling like capitalism has failed.
And the reason why they feel that way is because we haven't done capitalism for a long time.
Okay.
We are in crony capitalism.
The capitalism in America today is barely capitalism.
It's absolutely corrupt because it's in bed with the government.
You know, the military-industrial complex, everybody talks about that.
Everybody talks about the military, and everybody accepts that.
Okay.
That big business is in bed with the federal government.
Well, why don't you make that connection with healthcare?
That big healthcare and big insurance is in bed with the federal government.
And every time the federal government says they're going to fix something, it's not fixing the big corporations.
It's fixing you and helping the big corporations.
Right?
Have you noticed that?
Every time they say, we're gonna you know what?
Obamacare is gonna lower your cost by two thousand dollars per family, and it's gone up by what?
Three thousand dollars per family.
You didn't say anything and they're still telling you, well, that's because we got to fix it.
And who are they in bed with?
Donald Trump is the first guy who says, you know what insurance companies right or wrong.
He's the first guy who says, we're not doing that anymore.
But this market, even like this, it's still operating in two realities, that Marxism ignores, incentives and scarcity.
When people spend their own money, they look for value.
When you have, you know, you get a big uh, a check back from the IRS.
That's your money, but because they've held it for so long, it feels free to you.
It doesn't feel like your money.
It feels like you won the lottery.
And so what do you do?
How do you spend it?
Very few people take it and go.
You know what?
I'm going to save this?
I'm going to pay down debt.
Most people will take it and go.
We're going on vacation and when you, when somebody has given you money.
This is why people who win the lottery, they always go broke because they didn't earn it and so they just blow the money.
When it's your money, you don't blow it when politicians spend your money, it's not their money.
All they're doing is they're trying to build up a way that they can always get voted back in, and that's the entire difference.
The value they're looking for is, how am I going to keep my power?
So you have that strategy going on, and then also in New York, you also have the strategy of Cloward And Piven.
This is the darker possibility on why these things are happening and why they're appealing.
In the 1960s, two professors at the CITY University OF NEW YORK, Cloward And Piven, Husband and Wife, proposed something really, really radical, overwhelm the government system, get everybody that can possibly be on welfare or on the system, get them in, sign them up and flood the system with demand.
It will cause the system to go bankrupt, and you know what.
They used it in the 1970s and what did it do to New York?
New York went bankrupt.
It worked.
Then in the 1980s, did they go away?
No.
No, they continued.
In the 1990s, did they go away?
Well, Cloward was dead, but Frances Fox Piven wasn't, and she was good friends with the Clintons.
Guess what she had to do, what her job was with Clinton in the Clinton administration?
Do you even know?
She's the one.
She's the pivot in Cloward and Piven collapse the system, get everybody into the system, collapse it financially.
So then we're going to build another system that it will collapse into and it'll be a Marxist system.
Do you know what her job with Clinton was to design the system?
The motor voter law.
Now, wait a minute.
Hang on just a second.
I thought she was all about finances.
No, she's all about Marxism and collapsing a system into a new Marxist system.
So they came up with a way to collapse it and that's get everybody on board.
But you also need to get everybody to be able to vote the way you want them to vote.
So let's get every possible person we can to say, yeah, they're registered to vote.
All you have to do is just sign up for your license.
And now all of a sudden, you can vote.
See how these two are now attached to each other?
This has been a very long time coming.
And anybody who says and tells you that, I can show you the evidence.
I can show you in their own words what they're saying they're going to do and have now done.
But if you bring it up, that's a conspiracy.
Well, yes, it is a conspiracy.
It's just not a conspiracy theory.
It's a conspiracy fact.
So they use this crisis and they use the lax voting laws to replace capitalism and our rule of law with something entirely new.
So that's what's happening in a couple of places.
Okay.
New York, Minnesota, California.
And I'm not sure.
Is it ideological blindness?
The first reason this is happening is because, you know, they actually believe in this because they are Marxist and they're just that stupid.
They just don't look at human nature that they just do that.
Or is it because they know exactly what they're doing that Marxism never works, you know, and so you're going to have to collapse it and they win.
But the result is the same.
Programs expand, costs explode, the system collapses.
And then the politicians demand more power to fix the crisis that they created.
You know, if you look at Venezuela, people think, you know, collapse happens overnight.
It doesn't.
And that's why they can get away with a lot of this.
Venezuela looked in the late 1990s exactly like America.
It was doing well.
It was the second richest nation in the hemisphere next to us.
They had all this oil.
It was great.
Then they decided, you know what?
We're greedy.
We're horrible.
You know, we have debts we have to pay.
We have to help people out.
We have to help people out that aren't working because we're just too greedy.
All of this stuff that everything's been saying to us.
And so they go into free housing and free health care and free food programs.
And they start slowly.
First, they just have to dismantle capitalism and take over the natural gas and the oil industry, which then starts to collapse their economy, which means more people have to have health care and more people have to have free housing.
And so they say, don't worry about it.
We're only going to tax the rich.
And everybody is cheering.
And then the wealthy left and businesses started to fall apart.
Businesses closed.
Production collapsed.
And suddenly the middle class became the rich.
And then they were paying the bill.
And then they were no longer rich.
And so then all of a sudden you have the poor people and you don't have a way to pay for any of these programs.
So let me give you one way to convince your friends.
Okay.
Nothing is free.
Nothing is free.
You will either pay now through prices or later through taxes and collapse.
Capitalism, when it's done openly, it makes the cost visible.
Socialism hides the cost until it explodes.
That's why it's so dangerous, okay?
Whenever you hear the word free, this is what I want you to think of.
Every time you hear the word free, wake up, ask, there is no such thing as free.
Who is actually paying?
If it's the rich, you know exactly what this pattern is.
Nothing Is Free00:05:43
If the answer is vague, you know the truth.
The worst part of this is people actually do need help with childcare.
Families are drowning.
But instead of fixing the cost drivers, regulation, liability, licensing, insurance, politicians build a new, on top of all that, government system that costs even more.
And once they exist, they never ever go away.
So let me give you some analogies that'll show you how this works and how it is impossible to miss once you know.
And I'll give that to you here in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's realestate agentsitrust.com.
People claim to be experts all the time, and then it turns out that they're not.
And you've seen this in every field.
You know, somebody talks a great game.
Usually it's in politics.
They talk a great game, but when it comes to actually delivering, they have no idea.
It's annoying if you're talking about car repair or something like that.

10 seconds station id all right So let me give you some analogies to show you how this actually works every time.
When you're thinking about socialism, I want you to think about this.
Imagine a politician that opens a restaurant and he says, from now on, everyone eats here for free because that's what's happening in New York, the grocery stores.
Don't worry, it's not going to cost you anything.
Well, at first, lines are wrapping around the block.
And then you find out something really interesting.
The restaurant's hamburgers are actually costing $36 each to make.
Every other restaurant in town is selling the same exact burger for maybe $23.
This is $36.
The government restaurant is now 55% more expensive than the private ones, but you don't care because you're eating for free.
Okay, you're not paying.
Somebody else is paying the bill, so you don't care.
Well, it's free.
Demand explodes.
Now the restaurant needs more staff, more kitchens, more buildings, got all kinds of regulations, got to pay people a living wage.
Costs are skyrocketing.
And eventually the politician walks out and says, we have a crisis.
We have to raise taxes.
Okay.
That's the way it always happens.
Next one, free gym membership.
Imagine your gym says, membership is now free.
Great, you think.
What happens tomorrow?
Well, you get to the gym and every treadmill is full.
Weights are everywhere.
People are sitting on the machine.
They're scrolling on their phones.
There's a long line to get in.
When something costs nothing, everybody will flock, but people treat it like it's worth nothing.
Okay.
Markets ration through price.
Government rations through shortages.
This is why socialist systems end up with waiting lists and rationing and bureaucratic approvals.
Demand explodes because the price signal disappears and then people don't treat it as anything of any value because they didn't have to work for it.
Okay.
Last one, town with one doctor.
Imagine there's a town with five doctors.
Competition with these five doctors keeps everything reasonable.
But then the government says, health care is a right and it's free.
Well, that sounds great.
We have five doctors.
We're fine.
But now every single person goes to the doctor for every single thing.
You got a headache?
Go to the doctor.
You got a cold?
Go to the doctor.
Paper cut?
Go to the doctor.
Because it's free.
The town still has five doctors and it was working.
But what happened?
Now everybody's going, so you're waiting six months, a year.
Now politicians are blaming the doctors and demand the government take control of the clinics.
Or worse yet, they start to say, you know what, maybe we can make some of these problems going away by introducing MAID, a medical assistance in dying program.
Because it's a simple law of economics.
There's a law that has never ever been broken, not once in human history.
When you subsidize something, you get more of it.
You're trying to get housing prices down.
You subsidize it and the housing prices go up.
You want to make tuition cheaper for college.
Subsidize college and tuition will go up.
Subsidize health care.
Cost will go up.
Wait, what?
And now New York is subsidizing child care.
And somehow or another, politicians are shocked that the government version is $13,000 more per child than the private market.
This one's $73 million.
It's going to expand.
Where it stops, nobody knows.
Your dog's version of the American dream is actually really, really simple.
Safe place to sleep, yard to run in, somebody who scratches their ears and their belly and tells them, oh, good dog.
Your Dog's American Dream00:03:45
Oh, he's a good dog.
And of course, breakfast and dinner.
From your dog's perspective, that bowl you set down every day is a pretty big deal.
It's their fuel.
It's their health.
It's their energy.
They don't know what's in it.
They don't read.
There's a lot of things that people don't realize.
Most dog food is built around convenience and shelf life.
It's not really worried about the full spectrum of the nutrition your dog actually needs.
I mean, it's not poison, I mean, unless you're buying it from China.
But a lot of the natural vitamins, minerals, and probiotics that benefit dogs, they're not there.
By the time it hits the bulk because they've all been cooked out of very high heat.
That's why so many dog owners are now adding rough greens.
It's a powerful daily supplement you sprinkle right on top of your dog's food, designed to support healthy digestion, better energy, and overall wellness.
It doesn't change your dog's food.
All it does is just add the stuff in that's been cooked out.

Days of Ash, a gripping dystopian thriller the whole family can enjoy is out now.
It's free with your Torch membership exclusively at glennbeck.com slash Torch.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We're glad you're here.
Don't forget Days of Ash, which is a dystopian thriller that I wrote over the summer.
It's two seasons.
The final half of season one has just been released, and it is available for free for all Torch subscribers.
Just subscribe to the Torch at Glennbeck.com slash Torch.
Liar Nothing Season.
It is a really, it is.
You're right.
It's not free.
It's going to cost you $10, but you're going to get this as part of your membership.
Thank you for keeping me non-socialist and honest, Sarah.
But you can get it, and it's a really, really good.
It's a really good serial.
And it talks about what happens when the dollar collapses.
And it's just my kind of telling of it.
You follow one guy who's a common sense farmer, and he watches his whole town just fall apart quickly.
And I can't wait for you to get to the second season because the second season starts to go very, very dystopian kind of end of days AI kind of thing.
It's really great.
Can I give you a compliment?
Always.
You know, I have to listen to Glenn content for hours and hours every day.
So listening to more Glenn content on my way into work to listen to more Glenn content seems like a lot.
And I was listening to the most recent episodes that just dropped on Torch, and I found myself literally wrapped in the world.
Glenn reads the heck out of it.
You're going to get immersed in.
If you like Walking Dead, which is not rated G for the whole family, you will love Days of Ash.
The whole family could listen to this.
It's a dystopian thriller that helps you navigate a post-apocalyptic world, and somehow there's hope in it.
And this is odd coming from Glenn Beck.
Yeah, wait, wait till you hear the next season.
The next season two, which I'll probably finish writing this summer, is so good.
And it gets so dark and dystopian, but it has so much bright light in it.
You're just going to love it.
So Days of Ash, you can get it now.
It just dropped today, the second part of season one.
It's out now at glennbeck.com slash torch.
All right.
So where were we?
Why GLP-1 Pills Fail00:14:52
We were talking about the Marxist stuff on the three steps of socialist programs and why they never work.
First, you have to declare it as a right.
That takes you out of morality and not cost.
Then you promise only the wealthy will pay until the wealthy move away.
Then the system goes broke because markets respond to incentives and Marxism only responds to political incentives.
And so it just all falls apart.
And you're going to start seeing this now on a grander scale.
You're already seeing things fall apart somewhat in California, New York, et cetera, but not like it's going to.
Okay, you say that we're going to start seeing it, but when?
There's a lot of states that have been acting like real morons with taxpayer money.
And I don't really feel like they're feeling the effects.
They're not collapsing like Venezuela, Argentina.
What's the difference between Venezuela, Argentina, and America?
We print money.
So do they.
What's the difference?
I don't know.
Professor Glenn, tell me.
We are the gold standard.
So everybody, when we print money, it not only hurts us, it hurts everyone around the world.
When we devalue our dollar, inflation goes up in every country that uses dollars.
Every single country that is holding it, it costs them more to buy oil.
It costs them more to buy bread, just like here.
So it affects the entire world.
But we're the gold standard.
They are not.
You can't get out of holding our dollars.
But when Venezuela prints money, if you're holding the dollar, a Venezuelan dollar someplace else, you're like, get out of that, man.
And you sell it and you're out.
And so now that pushes more Venezuelan dollars, you know, or yaks or whatever they have, more into the system, which makes their inflation go up even higher.
That's why BRICS is so dangerous.
You cannot have competitors for our dollar.
We get away with it because no one has a choice.
But it's really bad.
And we've not gotten to the place, the point of no return yet.
But we're headed that way.
So we will see eventually, we will see the Venezuela thing, unless Donald Trump, his idea, I'd like to spend less and grow more.
His idea is we just grow our way out of it.
If AI is right, if these server farms and everything else are right, it's going to cause such an industrial boom that the United States will go through what he said, another golden age, another 1800s, early 1900s explosion of wealth in America.
We'll lead the world and we'll be able to pay that debt down.
Our debt won't be so bad.
You know, debt you had when you were 20, you had a car.
Remember how much you, how all you struggled to make your first car payment?
Think of that car payment and your debt back then.
If you had only that as debt today, it would be no problem.
It was a problem back then because you weren't making enough money.
If we make more money, this debt won't be a problem.
That's Donald Trump's theory.
Okay.
So How do we help Minnesota learn their lesson a little more quickly?
Stop bailing them out.
Stop helping them.
Every time, see, they're not feeling the effects because we're paying for it.
They need more money for Medicaid, Medicare.
Was it New York that is now charging more?
They're charging like $1,600 for a trip in an ambulance to the hospital when that a few years ago, a couple of years ago, that was only a $500 charge.
Now it's $1,600.
Do you know why?
Because the state says charge $1,600.
We're taking $1,000 of that or $1,100 of that and we're applying it to a different program, not medical related.
We're giving it to a different program.
So they're actually fleecing the American people by fudging and moving numbers around.
They're not collapsing as fast because they're counting on us to continue to send them money.
That's why it's so unbelievably unfair if everybody's not playing by the same rules.
Sarah, I see you looking at me.
Well, I understand that subsidies aren't a new thing and they don't really have a great track record.
So why do people keep believing that it's going to work?
I don't think everybody believes that subsidies are a bad thing.
Do you really believe that?
I haven't seen them work out great.
Right.
You've never seen them work out great, but like you said, they never really collapse, right?
I would explain this as like the GLP-1 effect.
I'm a fat guy, but I'm not so fat right now.
Why?
GLP-1s.
I've wanted a fat pill and a flying car my whole life.
We were promised a fat pill and a flying car since I was six.
Well, we don't have the flying car, but I have the fat pill.
They've actually come out with the GLP-1 as a pill now.
Okay.
So the fat pill is finally here.
But how did I get that?
I got that.
The GLP-1 is so great because I don't actually have to even work to not eat.
I just don't want to eat.
The GLP-1 does all of the work for me.
I just don't want to eat as much.
I just don't feel like eating as much.
So I don't eat as much.
That's the thing with subsidies and free everything from the government.
You go on it because somebody's offering.
If I'm a doctor and I say to you, Sarah, you got to lose some weight and you can go on this diet and you need to exercise and everything else.
This is my last 10 years of my life.
Glenn, you got to lose weight.
You got to lose weight.
You got to lose weight.
And the more they said that, the more weight I gained.
Okay.
Because I'm like, I don't want to do any of that stuff.
And then the doctor says, Glenn, there's something called a GLP-1.
And I'm looking at my friends who are suddenly losing all this weight and I'm like, how are you doing that?
Because I know you don't work out.
I know you love to eat.
GLP-1, man.
Glenn, it is the greatest thing ever.
I go to my doctor.
I'll take that GLP-1 and I lose all the weight.
Now I'm taking it.
I haven't done any of the hard work.
That's the subsidy.
Okay.
That's the subsidy.
That's government saying you can have this for free.
It's not going to cost you anything.
Right now, the GLP-1, everybody says, is relatively safe, except you're hearing some voices saying, don't take the GLP-1s.
Those are so dangerous.
They're so bad.
Do you know anybody who's gotten off a GLP-1 because it's like lizard venom or whatever the hell it is?
Do you know, I heard that and I'm like, well, I guess I'm having some more lizard venom this week.
I mean, nobody I know has gotten off of it because somebody said this is not going to work out well.
What people say is, well, it's working out well for everybody else.
I mean, I'm on it, air on it, and I really like the benefits of it.
Now, if people started to die like crazy all around you, there would still be people who would say, yeah, but I like being, I like being thin over fat and having to work for anything.
So it would still go on until the government banned it and said it's killing too many people.
However, some people would get off it because they saw their friends start to die from it.
All right?
In America, these subsidies happen.
This free stuff happens, but you're not seeing any of your friends suffer.
And you're not tying your taxes to these things.
For the first time in my life, I hear people now, because of the fraud, not because of anything else, but because of the fraud, I'm hearing people, and remember, only 50% of this country pays taxes.
So only half of them care in the first place.
But I'm hearing people start to say, you know what?
I don't have a problem paying taxes, but this really pisses me off.
They're wasting all of this money.
They are spending all of this money.
They are sending it to Somalia, all of this money.
And you haven't really even been affected yet.
Once that is exposed, and I think Donald Trump and Besant are going after this hard.
I think that's what you're going to see for the next election.
I think that's going to be an election talking point if they're smart, is they will button this up and they will show this in New York.
They'll show this in Pennsylvania.
They'll show this in California.
They'll show this in Minnesota.
And they'll show this is happening all over the country and Americans shouldn't have to pay for it.
And that's an easier way to say, your money is coming back to you because we're not going to spend all this money and give it away to other people.
I think that would be a smart strategic move.
But until things like this happen to where you're actually affected by it, think of the people in Minnesota.
They are actually affected by this.
This is their state money.
They're children who actually need school help.
They have autism, all of this stuff.
They're paying more in taxes.
They're getting worse and worse service.
It will eventually collapse on them where their kids won't be able to get help.
And they still are defending the people who stole the money from them.
It's really hard when you have free money and they've made it ideological.
Imagine if with GLP, every time you took it, you had to profess GLP makes me a better person and makes my neighbor, because they don't take GLP, a bad person.
How long would that have to happen before you started thinking anybody who didn't take a GLP was a bad person?
This is exactly what's happening.
You want to understand socialism, understand the GLP one effect.
And you got it.
All right, back in just a minute.
Let me tell you about our sponsor.
It's Relief Factor.

The opportunities are there, but your body is not cooperating like it used to.
Believe me, I know I've been there.
It can be so frustrating because most of us, you know, I'm not looking for a miracle, man.
I just, can I just not be in agonizing pain all the time?
Can I just do some things?
Well, you can with Relief Factor.
I take it every single day.
I turned to Relief Factor because I couldn't take the pain anymore.
And honestly, I told my wife, I think this is going to be the last year of my broadcast.
This was like 10 years ago.
And I said, I don't think I can do this anymore because I just want to spend the time that I do have in this level of pain.
I want to spend it with my family.
And then, you know, I took Relief Factor.
I feel better.
And I'm like, good, because I thought I was going to have to hang out with my family all the time.
Anyway, it's Relief Factor.

Most of us just want to work hard, raise a family, and live in peace.
That's not political.
That's human.
Glenn Beck will be right back.
Man, I just came up with a great monologue you don't want to miss tomorrow.
I was just sitting here thinking, so if the GLP-1 thing is true, how do you get people off of a GLP-1, assuming that it would be bad for you?
How would you get them off it?
Because the pull to be thin is so strong.
The only way to do it conventionally would be to show people how people are being killed by it if that evidence was out there.
And even that will be slow.
You've got to come up with something better to accomplish those things because if you have free stuff, that leads to either austerity or revolution and, you know, Marxism and everything else.
Really, really bad stuff.
Nobody wants to do austerity.
And a lot of people don't want to go through a revolution.
So what do we do?
What do we do?
Well, there is another way.
And I thought, when I thought of it, I'm like, oh my gosh, this is happening right now.
We're just not recognizing it.
So tomorrow, I'm going to give you the answer.
If the GLP1 thing is true, how do you get people to reverse and get out of it without revolution or austerity?
Okay, that'll be on tomorrow's program.
What am I missing here, Ricky?
Anything else?
You are missing how much your haters hated our recent George AI podcast on foreign entanglements.
That's right.
Some guy said it's rather insulting to resurrect an alter persona for your own con game, deluded.
What?
Okay, the George AI thing.
I don't know.
I mean, we just have to explain this over and over again.
George AI was released yesterday.
Was this on glennback.com or is it just for Torch?
It's on Torch right now, and it's also on your socials.
Okay.
So check it out.
What we did, and this was like a month and a half ago, we asked about war, right?
If we would get into war, what about the War Powers Act?
And what would you do if there was a government like Iran?
What would you do?
We asked the George AI.
This George AI does not, it doesn't know who I am.
It has no information past 1820.
It has no opinions other than the opinions, literal opinions of the founders.
It is only based on their words and what they read and what they wrote.
That's it.
So it's not my opinion.
It is the closest approximation based on only their writings.
