Glenn Beck and Benny Johnson dissect the James Comey seashell indictment, arguing it lacks evidence compared to threats against Trump while exposing SNAP fraud in red states. They debate FCC regulations on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel, proposing boycotts over taxpayer-subsidized speech violations, and analyze Kevin Warsh's potential Fed chairmanship as a hawkish shift. The episode concludes by criticizing elite Marxism, praising King Charles's rule of law remarks, and noting Melania Trump's fashion dominance over the British monarch.

Animal Farm and Totalitarianism00:14:04
New movie out called Animal Farm.
It's a bold animated adaption of George Orwell's classic tale.
It brings George Orwell to a new generation that desperately needs to learn about the dangers of totalitarianism, communism, and honestly, really nasty capitalism gone wrong, cronyism.
A lucky young pig whose curiosity and courage guides through the farm's rise and fall.
All through his eyes, you'll see the hope, the betrayal, and the dangers of totalitarian power.
Rather than numbing your brain, you and your kids will have some good questions to discuss as a family, and that is the whole point.
Angel is brave enough to bring this story to theaters thanks to their guild membership voters who are passionate about Animal Farm.
Animal Farm brings the timeless allegory to life, blending satire and humor.
It's a retelling, it's immersive, it'll give you conversations of power and corruption.

Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
This isn't a podcast.
This is a movement.
And you're part of it, a big part of it.
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
Rate, review, share.
Together, we'll make a difference.
And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.
America, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
We've got a lot to talk about.
James Comey and the indictment there, the FCC, TSA, thousand people have quit their jobs on TSA.
We're still not funding that thing.
We didn't get a chance to talk about the Clinton Foundation yesterday.
The King, the Kingthen Town, the Kingthen Town.
Yay.
What happened yesterday at the White House was pretty remarkable.
But what a snot that guy is.
I'm sorry.
I know he's the king.
I know he's the king, but I'm glad we're away from him.
We'll get into that here in just a little while.
First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.
Listen, oh, by the way, Benny Johnson's going to be on with me in a second because we have a disagreement.
And I have real respect for Benny.
And he disagreed with me online yesterday.
And I wanted to have a conversation with him on that.
We'll talk about it coming up in just a second.
Look, if you don't want your dog to have more energy, I mean, I guess I sort of get it, you know?
The tennis ball has been lost under the Couch for six months, and you'd prefer to keep it that way.
I get that.
Maybe you're enjoying a quiet evening from time to time, but seeing your dog feel like their old self more alert, more playful, more engaged, more like the companion that you know they are is really a great thing.
And that's what Rough Greens does to your dog.
It almost turns them into a puppy dog again.
At least it did for Uno.
I mean, it was like he gained four or five years back.
To his health.
If you prefer full time naps, then probably don't give your dog Rough Greens.
If you want them to live a longer, healthier life and have that energy back without being a crack, Rough Greens.

Benny on with us yet?
Okay, Benny.
How are you, my man?
Glenn!
What's up, dude?
Nothing but love, Glenn.
Thanks for.
I know.
And same.
I'm not a reply guy.
I'm not a reply guy, but I saw it and I said, this is a problem.
This is a misunderstanding and we should correct this.
I'm glad that your producer reached out.
Glad we can chat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I saw it yesterday and Benny, you know, I respect you.
And I know you're not a bomb thrower and we could have a real conversation and I might be missing something.
That you are seeing.
You know, I look at things.
I've been in broadcast now for 49 years, so I know the FCC inside and out.
I know all the rules, et cetera, et cetera, and I can't find my way around it.
But in some ways, man, would I love to.
I'm so sick of all of this stuff, but I want to make sure we're not violating the principles that we all hold dear.
So I said yesterday that if I worked at ABC, if I were running ABC, I'd fire Jimmy Kimmel in a heartbeat.
because of standards.
It's just, it's reprehensible what he has done.
And I would send a message to the country, we're not for that.
Okay.
And if I would have said something like that about Barack Obama at Fox, I would have expected to be fired.
However, with that being said, I don't see the FCC move here.
And if there is an FCC move, I'd prefer the president, although I do prefer that he is out in the open, unlike Joe Biden where they're hiding it.
I prefer that it's not directed by the president.
Prefer that it is something that is just the FCC takes care of because it's a clear violation, but I can't find the violation you may be able to.
So help me out, Benny.
Sure, sure.
So let's attack this from three different perspectives, Glenn.
First, the moral obligations, then the regulatory obligations.
And then what I find most important is the obligations of our movement in order to establish barriers and to have instructive moments.
And I think this is one, certainly.
The moral obligation, Glenn, you had a hit show on Fox for how many years?
A decade.
You were the number one rated broadcast in the world on cable news for how long?
I don't know, two years.
Okay.
Either way, it was must see TV.
You made the chalkboard.
You probably sold more.
You're probably the biggest chalkboard salesman in the history of the world.
The chalkboard industry does love me.
Yes.
That's exactly right.
Yes.
Right.
Yes.
If you would, and you went out on your show and you were very prescient.
I mean, I got to tell you, man, there was nothing like Glenn Beck calling out the Soros Foundation from a thousand yards away when nobody was talking about this kind of stuff.
You were talking about Bill Ayres.
You were saying some pretty radical stuff about Barack Obama.
All of it turned out to be true.
But you wouldn't even have been able to finish your opening monologue if you had said, Michelle Obama deserves to be a widow.
Correct.
If you had said, Michelle Obama deserves to be a widow, and not only that, a glowing widow, meaning she would like for her husband to die, then you wouldn't have been pulled from the show, right?
You wouldn't.
The five second.
And I would have deserved it.
Am I wrong?
Am I wrong?
No, no, no.
But hang on.
So if you said that about Hillary Clinton, hang on.
If you said about Hillary Clinton or Jill Biden, you would have been pulled.
As well.
And if you had used the shit, but I wouldn't.
So this is the moral.
This is like the moral.
We're not talking about like the moral.
Yeah.
Betty, wait.
Yes.
But I wouldn't have had the FCC come after me.
Fox would have done it.
The FCC doesn't have anything to do with cable news.
So they couldn't have done it that way.
They would have, what would have happened is the left would have mounted a campaign and the right would have folded.
And Fox, honestly, I think Fox would have been right to fire me had I said something like that.
Okay.
But it wouldn't have been the FCC and it wouldn't have been the federal government.
Glenn, this is, please allow me to construct my argument.
I'll wheel in a chalkboard next time and I'll draw it out.
Okay.
I'll draw it out for you.
All right.
Okay.
So, first off, there is no moral ground for Jimmy Kimmel to stand on.
If Jimmy Kimmel himself had said this about Jill Biden and used the same rationale, because Jill Biden is significantly younger than Joe, like by, I think, 15 years, and he said, well, Melania is younger than Trump.
That's why she's an expectant widow.
It wouldn't apply to Jill Biden.
If he said, Jill Biden is an expectant widow, Joe Biden has terminal cancer.
He'd be ripped off air, too.
Same thing about Hillary Clinton.
Hillary's younger than Bill, and Bill's not in good shape.
But he wouldn't be able to get away with that.
We all know what's going on.
It's permissible to celebrate and to fetishize the death of Republicans.
And that's what they're signaling here.
And so I want to just establish that morally, you wouldn't be able to get away with it any other way.
And the fact that they're letting them get away with it.
I 100% agree.
Yeah, on this.
And then with that BS rationale, of course, that, oh, she's younger, so I can say something like this.
How about this, Glenn?
I was raised in Chewieville, Iowa.
This is a town of 412 people.
There is one gas station that's also the town bar and also the town pizzeria and also the town VHS rental shop.
That's where I grew up.
If you were to walk into that bar on a Friday night and you normally could and find a couple of old timers sitting there with their wives and they're both having a light beer, right?
And that's how they unwind on a Friday night at the gas station bar, pizzeria, video rental shop.
And if you were to walk up to that farmer and say, Your wife looks like an expectant widow, what do you think would happen?
I get my ass kicked.
I get my ass kicked across the street and into the soybean field.
That's what would happen in Chewiesville, Iowa, where I'm from.
Probably where you're from, too, I would assume.
Right?
Nobody would ever, like, no, no, in no universe is Jimmy Kimmel's explanation of this logical.
Not with other first ladies, not with your wife, not with anyone's wife.
So, on every level, this should be knocked down.
And the FCC is going to.
The FCC took action against ABC News and their own station yesterday.
And I want to talk through why this is different than what we could say on this program or what we could say anywhere else, because you are free to say that.
You are free.
I would be free to walk into that bar and suck.
For the consequences of the farmer punching me in the mouth.
Jimmy Kimmel is free to stand on a street corner, pick up a cardboard box, scribble on it, and yell whatever he wants.
He's gone to no Kings protests.
He's done this.
I'm not saying Jimmy Kimmel shouldn't do this.
I'm not against Jimmy Kimmel's free speech.
That's free speech.
What I am against is taxpayer subsidized calls to assassination, which is what we are doing right now with Jimmy Kimmel.
Let me explain.
Jimmy Kimmel operates on a federal broadcast license.
This is from the FCC.
These are authorities that were granted to specific networks in 1923.
These specific networks have an option to operate on an electromagnetic spectrum that is considered a scarce public resource that the FCC manages and licenses specifically to prevent interference between stations so that they can have licensures and broadcasts in times of emergency.
These broadcasters must serve in the public interest and convenience and necessity and have core legal standards and obligations.
Under the 1924 Communications Acts.
These licensees do not own the spectrum.
The government owns the spectrum.
The government gives them a temporary privilege to use that spectrum.
This applies to some AM, FM radio stations.
It applies to all major public broadcasters PBS, ABC, NBC, and CBS.
They have to exist under a fair time, equal time in the public interest broadcast yours, and they can be penalized or have their licenses stripped if they are found to be broadcasting profanity.
Pornography, if they are found to be broadcasting untruths, things that they know are verifiable lies, if they are found to be operating outside of the public interest, which is a broad legal descriptor of what your broadcast should be.
And I would argue, Glenn, that since Jimmy Kimmel is using this billion, if not trillions of dollars of infrastructure that was built by the government, that's maintained by the taxpayers, that has been serviced by our federal dollars, that he should have to apply for these standards.
And these standards, Do not cover him making fun of Charlie Kirk's assassination, calling for the assassination of a duly elected president.
In no universe should that be allowed.
So that is impermissible under the operations of Jimmy Kimmel's and ABC News' lavish privileges that they get from the federal taxpayer dollars.
Jimmy Kimmel can do what every other bum does and get on a street corner with a cardboard sign.
He can start a YouTube.
He can go on Spotify.
Jimmy Kimmel can do whatever the hell he wants.
He can do smoke signals up in the mountains.
That's also free speech.
But Jimmy Kimmel shouldn't be able to use my tax dollars at force, which is what's going on, because if you don't pay taxes and I don't pay taxes to Jimmy Kimmel, we go to prison.
Federal Subsidies for Kimmel00:09:01
So that's force.
With that force and with that privilege comes standards.
Therefore, Jimmy Kimmel should be ripped off air and the FCC should do a full investigation of ABC and their broadcast licenses.
And sure as shooting, Glenn, that's exactly what they're doing right now.
All right, let me take a one minute break and I'm going to come back and I want to talk to you about the regulations because I think you're incorrect about the regulation.
I want to understand what you're saying about.
Taxpayer subsidies because there is no maintenance to the public spectrum.
However, you are absolutely right on the standards.
But I want to understand what you're saying about taxpayer subsidy, how you're getting there.
We'll do that here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about SuperSure.
If you own a business, I'm guessing anytime somebody says the word insurance, you immediately reach out for the crucifix and garlic.
Because a lot of business owners look at insurance like some kind of curse that is passed down through the generations.
Mysterious, it is endless, and terms and conditions that no human has ever actually said out loud.
They cause more questions than give answers.
This is why I want you to know about SuperSure.
It is built to make commercial insurance clearer, faster, and less painful for business owners who already have enough to do.
You look, you do everything already.
The last thing you need to do is look at somebody and go, Are we insured for that?
I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
You'll be able to understand all of your policies.
You'll be able to get the best pricing on all of the policies.
This system can look through AI, all of the policies.
Your insurance agent can't do that.
They can look through all of the policies and find the right one for your specific business and exactly what you're looking for.
So somebody comes back and they're like, hey, can we file a claim for this?
You'll know immediately.
Find out, no obligation.
If you're overinsured or underinsured, just go to supersure.com.
Slash back.
That's super sure.com slash back.
One super agency, one powerful platform, and all of your policies in one place.
Supersure.com slash back.
Paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
Ten seconds.
Station ID.
Okay, so tell me about the taxpayer funding.
Go a little deeper on that for me, Benny, and then let's talk about the movement because you said it was moral.
I think you've made the case on that.
Regulatory, I'm not sure.
And then what it means for the movement.
So let's go back to the funding.
So, this electromagnetic spectrum is maintained by transistors, it is maintained by towers, and those towers are incredibly important to the broadcast capacity.
And they're all.
All paid for by the local stations or the corporations, not the federal government.
None of that is federal government money.
Of course, but what those licenses allow is for federal deductions.
It allows for operations to be maintained throughout this system.
The corporations that own these licenses have these lavish privileges in order to broadcast directly into every single home.
How much more valuable would my program be if every TV came?
With the Benny show, uh, loaded in and locked in, and it's just a channel you click on and you don't have to pay for.
Again, like there are federal subsidies that go into that.
And Glenn, you've been around this business enough to know that these kind of things become massive write offs, these kind of things have huge loopholes, and one way or another, the taxpayer ends up paying for it.
I can't go there with you, but I can see your point, but I can't go there with you.
I mean, it's because that's a business expense, and it's just don't let me do your taxes.
I know.
ABC Broadcast is worth much less than a cable network is now.
And both of them are going to hell in a handbasket because of the internet.
So, you know, it's not like it was 20 years ago.
But go ahead.
How much more valuable would my program be if every single TV in the country for the last 100 years had my program automatically loaded into it for $0?
That is a massive gift to every broadcaster that gets those precious licenses.
It is a gift, but it is a diminishing gift.
But I get it.
I get it.
All right, go ahead.
But doesn't the American tax, through the FCC and through the use of that bandwidth and through the giving of that bandwidth and then the maintenance, even if that maintenance comes directly from the FCC and their own staff and the licensures and the phalanx of lawyers that it takes to run the FCC and to monitor all this, isn't that prima facie a gift from the taxpayer?
Actually, it's a curse on the taxpayer.
I'd like to see all of it abolished myself.
Thank you.
But, you know.
Now we're talking.
I want to make the case that, hey, we need more lawyers and more regulations.
Now we're talking, Glenn.
Yes.
All right.
So go to the movement.
Go to the movement.
What does this mean about our movement?
Yeah.
So you were at Charlie's funeral.
You did a number of events and were so close with Charlie.
And when I. What Jimmy Kimmel did to my dear friend in the hours, the mere hours after his death, which is, of course, to lie about the nature of the shooting, to lie in favor of the assassin, to lie about who the assassin was and why they killed Charlie.
To call him MAGA is to say that Charlie deserved that death because Charlie would have been a MAGA movement president in the coming years.
He would have been probably 49 or 50.
And so to say that his shooter was MAGA is to say that Charlie.
Created the movement that killed him, which is, of course, the opposite of what happened.
Jimmy Kimmel refused to talk about motive.
He did the same thing, by the way, in his non apology to Melania Trump last night.
He refused to talk about the gunman's motive in Washington, D.C.
This alone is, of course, lying by omission.
They know damn well why these people are murdering Republicans, Trump, or trying to murder Trump and murdering Charlie.
And so when I saw Jimmy Kimmel do that, I said, of course, this is abhorrent.
And we led the charge on social media to say this is totally wrong and people need to call their local broadcast affiliates to.
Get Jimmy Kimmel ripped off air.
And sure enough, Jimmy Kimmel got taken off air for a week or two.
But what happened afterward repulsed me and made me so angry because what happened afterwards was we got woke scolded by our own side, by people on our own side Ben Shapiro, Ted Cruz.
Use this as an opportunity to get a little doggy treat and a pat on the head by the left and to say, in this moment where I'm simply trying to defend the legacy of Charlie and say, this is disgusting, which by the way, Erica agrees with me.
All of the individuals at Turning Point that currently operate and built Charlie's show with him, they all agree with me.
They were all repulsed and sickened by this.
So was I.
We had attacks from the right telling us, which is what always happens, which is, well, could you imagine if it was on the other side?
No, I couldn't because I don't have a federal broadcast license because the taxpayers don't subsidize my programming.
I am making the case, I'm not making a free speech case.
I personally believe that my side has benefited.
And certainly, my channels are benefited every time Jimmy Kimmel says something stupid.
Okay, I want Jimmy Kimmel to speak as much as possible.
I don't want to pay for it, I don't want to subsidize it.
And there are standards that come with that subsidy.
And so, that was the point I was making.
The American taxpayer shouldn't be forced to listen to this.
And multiple stations like Nexstar and Sinclair said, No, we agree with you.
They shouldn't.
And they shut Jimmy Kimmel down by preempting his show.
And so, that is the thing that is instructive for the movement.
When the left gets an opportunity to exercise power over us, they take it.
And they wield it with an iron fist.
And I'm calling for the right to do the same thing.
Benny, great points.
I want to digest them.
I'm going to take it under advisement.
I'm going to give my response here in about half an hour.
But I appreciate it.
I'm glad you were on.
I think you make some good points.
Thank you so much.
God bless you, Benny.
Thanks, Glenn.

Watch it live at glennbeck.com slash events.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Let me see.
Let me go to Pam in Arizona.
We're talking about Jimmy Kimmel.
I'm going to give you the way I look at things coming up at the top of the hour.
Let me talk to Pam in Arizona.
Hello, Pam.
Hi there.
Good morning.
How are you?
Thank you for being an insider.
Good.
Go ahead.
Yes.
Good.
In 2024, October 21st, 2024, You asked us to send letters to our local CBS stations about the 60 minutes broadcast and the interview that they had that we needed to ask for the whole transcript to be released.
I wrote a letter, which I generally don't do, to the general manager of our KPHO station here in Phoenix, Arizona.
And I received a letter back from, not from her because she was out of the office that day, but from, I guess, her assistant or something.
And she said, just to clarify, in 2017, the FCC eliminated the public file requirement for letters and emails to the public.
And then she gave me a link to another place to talk about that.
But I'm interested to see if that's really true because you say you've been in the business a long time that the FCC needs those letters, and now they're saying that since 2017, they no longer need them.
Have you ever heard about that?
I don't believe that to be true.
I would have to check into it with an attorney, but I don't believe that to be true.
Look, this is what is called the public inspection file.
When Benny was talking about the network, and the network benefits from this, forget about the network.
The network doesn't matter.
The network doesn't care about anything because the network is, you know, NBC is already doing Peacock and everything else.
They're going online.
It's the local stations that matter.
The network does not get a license from the federal government.
What gets a license from the federal government are the local stations.
And the FCC has always demanded that there is a public inspection file.
Now, it used to be literally a file cabinet, and anyone could walk in and say, I want to see your public inspection file.
And you could walk into your local station, and they would have to put you in a room with that cabinet, and you could go through everything in their file, okay?
Because it's It's your public right.
And that has changed in this regard.
They don't have to keep a literal file cabinet.
It is now mainly kept online and it's hosted through the FCC's database system.
So there is a database that they have to keep.
And what they have to keep are the political advertising records, who bought ads, how much did you charge, et cetera, et cetera.
Any request for airtime that was denied, they have to keep a record of that.
Programming.
Obligations, which things have you done that are in the public interest?
Where did you go the extra mile?
You have to keep all of the ownership information, and this has been limited but not erased the complaints and correspondence.
So, and this is where you make local stations sweat.
If you know that you're going into the public inspection file, and I will do some more homework so I can give this to you tomorrow to make sure that it is exactly right.
But when you go in and you write a letter and you are using specific language like this is not in the public interest, this is a violation of our community standards.
When the FCC walks in, and believe me, they will walk in because that's what they're talking about doing now, is walking in and looking at those inspection files or those public files and inspecting them.
When they see 500, 600, 1,000 letters saying this is a violation of our community standards, this is not in our public interest, you're in violation of serving your own community.
The FCC then has an obligation to say, What did you do about these?
How did you respond to these?
If, at least in the old days, I will again check out to make sure.
I know it is required to keep these things online.
I don't know what the limiting.
Factors are now.
I have to check.
But if you have destroyed anything, if you, because you want to always CC the FCC on this, if they haven't kept something that you sent to them and to the FCC, they're in real trouble.
And this is the only thing that makes a television station or a radio station sweat.
Can you get Dom on the phone for me?
He'll know this about radio.
What are the public inspection files required to do?
Yeah, have him call in.
Yeah.
Dom, if you're listening, Dom is the program director of this program and all the other programs that we do on audio.
And he was a vice president of CBS.
He'll know this answer right off the top of his head.
And he owns stations now, so he'll know.
But yes, it is my understanding they have to keep it.
And that is the Achilles heel.
Forget about the network.
The network does not care.
The network doesn't care.
Now, the local stations.
When they pull something like Jimmy Kimmel, now they're going to be in trouble because let's say they say this is not in our interest.
Now CBS can say, Really?
Good.
Well, then you're in violation, unless it's in their contract, you're in violation of the network.
You have to take our prime time.
You have to take our commercials and our prime time.
And you may be required to take certain other elements to be able to keep your contract with the network.
You lose the network.
Now that local station is going, I've got.
To fill 10 hours every day or 12 hours.
I don't have the programming.
So the local station is right in a crap storm on all of this.
But that's the Achilles heel.
I hope that answers your question.
Let me see.
Let's go to Colt in Texas.
Hello, Colt.
A great name, only from Texas.
Hi.
Well, actually, that's not my name.
Todd, he got my last name wrong.
But anyway, real quick.
Benny almost got it right.
The subsidy is not tax write offs for investments.
That's not right.
The subsidy is as follows.
Do you remember when the federal government started saying to ATT and Verizon and T Mobile, you want to put up that cell phone tower, you have to pay for the electromagnetic airspace?
Do you remember that?
Yes.
Same with the networks.
But the only thing they had to do is apply for a license, and the government said, okay, it's all yours.
The individual stations, it's all yours.
They never had to pay for the airspace.
Everybody else has to pay for the airspace.
They paid billions for 5G.
Same for 4G.
And all the little network stations.
Okay, that's a different case.
That's a great case.
That is a great case.
And that probably happened because of, you know, 1936 when they're starting to dole these things out.
And they looked at these networks and gave them a sweetheart deal.
I don't know if you can go back on a sweetheart deal that goes back to the 1930s, but that's a good case.
Thanks for your call.
We have Dom on.
Dom.
Hey.
Dom.
Hey.
Are you required to keep public records as local stations now?
You have to keep the same things that we used to keep in the file cabinets.
Yes.
The difference is they're no longer in file cabinets.
It's all online.
So you can, in fact, it's required now, and you can see any station's public file online.
Absolutely.
How do you do that?
And I heard.
How do you do that?
I heard you can go to the FCC's website and put in the call letters of the station that you want to look at, and you can pull up any radio or TV station in America.
And all of their correspondence is on there.
You had mentioned that yesterday, and it is absolutely true that correspondence from the public still has to be shown there, and also the radio or television station's response.
It is a local thing.
You are correct.
Right.
And it is the one thing, I mean, you've been a station owner for a long time, and you were a vice president of CBS radio, and so you know the one thing.
I mean, since I got into radio when I was 13 years old, the one thing that makes them sweat is records.
If you don't keep those logs, you don't keep the records, you don't keep your public file, they all, all of them know the FCC can pull our license at any time.
And does it still make them sweat like that, Dom?
Maybe not quite in the same way.
You know, the FCC hasn't been as strict on that as they once were.
But yeah, it's still, you know, if you're a group owner.
Sure.
And, you know, one of the things, too, that we, you know, I worked for ABC.
I actually started at ABC back in the 80s, ABC Radio.
That was when that was still a thing.
And back then, and even when I was at CBS, we still had standards and practices.
You had to talk to, you know, if anything came up from the public, an objection or a strongly worded letter, we had, I had to get involved because I was involved on a corporate level.
And if it was a, you know, if it was a Station matter like that, I had to get involved as a corporate executive on that.
Absolutely.
It still makes sense to a degree.
So, what, and I'll tell you, based on what you just said, and knowing what I believe the FCC is talking about here, they are not saying we're going to invent new rules.
What they're saying is we're going to start enforcing the rules that are on the books that we haven't enforced for a very long time.
And so, when you say they don't sweat as much because the FCC has been lax, I think what Brendan Carr is saying is we're not going to be lax on this anymore.
If it's written down as a rule, we're enforcing it.
Would you agree?
I totally agree.
And they need to.
They need to.
I mean, you won't find a stronger First Amendment fan than me.
I wave that flag constantly, but it is being abused by people like Kimmel.
It is.
So, tell me about standards and practices.
You're at a network.
Jimmy Kimmel says something like that.
What happens?
What does that mean?
Well, usually the standards and practices folks are very.
Have you ever seen the Howard Stern movie, Private Parks?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The two attorneys are sitting there and they read a bunch of legalese.
You know, you can't say this, this, this, this, and this.
It's almost like that.
That's kind of a dramatic version of it, but it's not unlike that.
It's usually lawyers, and they will, you know, quote the letter of the law of the FCC and they will tell you that they feel you're getting too close to that line.
They used to be, at CBS, they were real conservative about that.
They wouldn't even allow stunts, things that were off air.
They were concerned about risk.
I wanted to do a bit during the swine flu where we were going to walk a pig up Times Square wearing a mask and our logo on the side, and the lawyer shut that down really fast because he said, oh my goodness, we could get sued.
If there's a riot, we'll get sued and we'll lose our license.
And that wasn't that long ago.
That was 2012.
So, can I ask you, because you were a radio programmer, and You know, Jimmy Kimmel was, he was a radio guy.
He's a radio producer, morning show, stunt guy.
Is, is, you know, people look at him and like, well, he's a, you know, he's a TV guy.
No, he's not.
He's a radio producer, stunt, morning show guy.
They think differently.
What are the odds that this whole thing, he's just punking everybody?
He knows exactly what he's doing.
And he's kind of those old morning zoo guy, the guy I used to be, an old morning zoo guy that just knows how to get attention and blah, blah, blah.
I said that yesterday when all this came out.
I think a lot of this is him just attempting to be a provocateur to try to get attention.
I believe that's the case, honestly.
And you know what?
It worked because everyone's talking about it.
Maybe that's why lawyers have been lax about it at ABC.
I don't know.
ABC has certainly changed because when I worked there, now this is years ago, it was a very conservative company when it came to this stuff.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it was ABC Disney.
The one thing Disney did not do is screw around with lawyers.
Man, I mean, they were ruthless and they knew the law.
And if you were violating and you're in the inside, they don't protect you.
They would throw you onto the electric fence.
It's quite a different world.
Dom, I want you to listen.
I'm going to give my analysis of all this and where I stand on this.
And I'd love for you to just listen to it and check back with me and see because.
Ricky just said, I think Dom is saying that you're wrong, Glenn.
And I don't think he is.
I don't think he is.
No.
But, well, we'll get into the here in a little.
Maybe we'll talk to you a little later.
Thank you, Dom.
Appreciate it.

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, I don't 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.

All right.
So I want to give you my final piece on this, and then we're going to move on.
Because we also have to talk about James Comey and what happened with James Comey and the Shell thing.
James Comey and the Shell Scandal00:02:50
Oh, God.
Let me just say this.
One thing is very clear.
Either Pam Bondi was not doing her job, or we have somebody in as the acting attorney general who really wants the job.
Because things are changing.
And, you know, you'll have to decide whether that's changing in a good way or a bad way.
I'm looking at the James Comey thing.
And, you know, I wish we were going on something a little stronger.
But let's look at this.
We'll talk about that coming up in just a second.
Also, the Clinton Foundation, the TSA, and the speech Trump gave with the king yesterday.
Unbelievable speech yesterday in Washington.
Coming up.
One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you really feel disconnected without ever announcing itself.
You're still in the room, you're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up.
And sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit.
And you're just hoping, don't ask me anything because I don't know what we're talking about anymore.
What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial, it's the process, it's the doctor appointments, the multiple visits, the adjustments, the price tag that makes you go, how, what?
So, people wait, and you shouldn't have to.
Audion was built to remove those barriers.

Late Night TV as News00:14:47
America, for years now, we have watched as the foundations of our country, the very idea that no one is above the law, being chipped away.
Day after day after day, and you feel betrayed, you're exhausted.
Quite honestly, you're furious.
I am.
Justifiable anger because you're seeing what's happening, and then you see all the lies.
I mean, you know, just look at the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset.
That's not happening, that's not happening, that's not happening.
DEI.
That's not happening.
That's not.
And then it happens.
And they're like, okay, well, maybe it is happening, but it's no big deal.
I'm tired of it.
I'm tired of it.
You are good.
You're decent.
You work hard.
You pay your taxes.
You want fairness, actual fairness.
And then you see these officials come in and treat the law like it's optional for them, a requirement for us.
In fact, we have to live beyond the law.
Ironclad for us, but optional for them.
The Russian collusion hoax, the Clinton Foundation, which is back in the news, Epstein, Joe Biden's corruption, his son's corruption, the laptop, China, Ukraine, Antony Fauci, and the COVID nonsense.
All of it.
And this is just scratching the surface.
I get it.
I feel exactly the way you do.
I have had a front row seat, and so have you, watching the slow erosion of trust in our institutions, wondering if.
Anyone in power is going to be held accountable.
And that sinking feeling that everything in our system is rigged against the very people it's supposed to protect.
So we find ourselves today looking at a couple of things with James Comey and then with Jimmy Kimmel.
And the feeling is get them.
Take the gloves off.
I just gave a speech in Washington, D.C. the other day where I said, take the gloves off.
It is No more, Mr. Nice Guy.
Take the gloves off.
But what does that mean?
I'm going to talk about that here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com.
This is my company.
This is a company that I started.
We started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal, and we found out what they do.
What do they do that makes them the 500 best real estate agents in the country?
And then we found that pattern.
We learned from them and we started finding more of those people.
And now I'll turn you on to those people.
It's a free call.
I don't I don't charge you anything for that.
You just interview them.
If you like them, then you can hire them.
But this is a group of people that, A, they're all fans of the show.
We have vetted Six Ways to Sunday and we watch them.
They don't work for me.
We just monitor.
If they are not what they said they were, if they're not performing, if somehow or another they start sliding, we know it immediately and we don't recommend them.
Even in a tough market, these people can help you buy or sell a home.
And the name says it all it's realestateagentsitrust.com.
RealestateAgentsITrust.com.
Okay.
I want to talk to you about Jimmy Kimmel.
And last hour, I had Benny Johnson on.
We had a great conversation with Benny because he disagreed with me yesterday when I said, Look, I understand how the president feels, Melania feels.
I mean, I feel that one deeply.
I feel it because my own family has come under attack and my own family has been in danger, not like the president.
Not like the first lady, but we have been in danger and enough is enough.
Enough is enough.
And I'm tired of the lies.
I'm tired of them getting away.
I am tired of Jimmy Kimmel being on the air and lying, lying to the American people right after Charlie Kirk dies and says this was their own side.
No, it wasn't.
No, it wasn't.
Never corrected that.
Never held accountable for that.
You can't do that.
Well, you can if you're an entertainment program because then it's just your opinion and your entertainer.
You know, I'm just making people laugh.
Really?
So then, wait a minute.
What are you doing now?
What are you.
What are you doing now?
You're just making people laugh?
Is that what's happening?
Because a lot of people aren't laughing.
And the solution is in a decent society, the solution is Jimmy Kimmel feels like dog crap when he gets up.
He doesn't say, then I open up my email to a bunch of vomitous comments.
He gets up in the morning and he's like, I made this joke.
I feel so horrible about it.
You know, in a real world, he would have called Melania Trump and said, I didn't mean any of that.
That's not what I meant.
I am so sorry.
What an ill time joke.
I will never do that.
But he's not going to because that's not who he is.
And we don't live in a decent society anymore.
And that is the real problem.
You can only regulate so much.
We are living in a system that is wholly inadequate for a non religious, irreligious, and immoral people.
You can't, there's not enough laws.
Now, what Jimmy Kimmel said, you know, he doubled down on it.
Play a little clip of Jimmy Kimmel the other night where he's doubling down on this.
So on Thursday, three days before the event, in order to keep that cherished tradition alive, I did my own version of the correspondence dinner on my show.
I put on a tuxedo.
We pretended we had an audience of luminaries.
We used old footage of the Trumps, of Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, Kid Rock, Vanilla Ice, all the members of his cabinet.
And we made it seem like they were all together in a room.
We had a little roast.
Again, this was Thursday, and there was no big reaction to it until this morning when I greeted the day.
Facing yet another Twitter vomit storm.
And a call to fire me from our first lady, Melania Trump, saying I should be fired because of a joke I made, again, five nights ago.
It was a pretend roast.
I said, Our first lady, Melania, is here.
Look at her, so beautiful.
Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow, which obviously was a joke about their age difference and the look of joy we see on her face every time.
It was clearly not.
If I would have said that, About Jill Biden, I would have been fired and I should have been fired.
Jill Biden, you have the look of an expectant widow.
I would have never even thought of that.
I would have never said that.
You know, look, if you're going to be Lenny Bruce, at least be funny and clever.
You're not.
You're not.
This guy is a radio morning show hack.
That's what he is.
Okay?
And he loves this.
Now, Let's look at the speech here.
On the surface, this looks like a speech fight.
Can the government go after ABC for something Jimmy Kimmel said on Jimmy Kimmel Live, carried by ABC?
The instinct is this isn't funny anymore.
This is just political messaging.
This is somebody who has repeatedly helped call in the assassin culture.
No, no, you can't do that.
But if you go straight for the speech itself, you're going to lose because the First Amendment is super strong, as it should be.
Satire, comedy, commentary, opinion, all protected ground.
And the government doesn't get to referee jokes and decide which one went too far.
And I don't want it to ever, ever, ever.
The door needs to stay closed on that.
It has to.
Yesterday, I said that I don't like, I feel for the president, I feel for Melania Trump.
I know.
To a very small degree, what they're feeling.
Very small degree.
None of us can relate to it because no one has ever gone through this.
And I can understand him going, Enough is enough.
But I don't want the government reacting to the individual.
We are a nation of laws and not men.
Okay?
But this isn't what is, this isn't about what's being said.
It's about what the networks say it is.
Buried in the communication law is an idea of equal time.
Now, this is a requirement that if a broadcaster gives airtime to one political candidate, it has to offer comparable access to others.
Now, there are exemptions, and this is where this becomes very important.
And I believe this is the path for the FCC if they want to take it.
There are two paths.
And it's this or nothing, gang.
If something back in the Communications Act of 1936, they put all kinds of fairness doctrine and everything else that we don't want.
However, this one remained, and it is important.
1984, Ronald Reagan came in and said, Look, I took my first, in 1978, I took my first FCC license test.
Okay.
I know this inside and out.
I've dealt with the FCC my whole life, and I hate the FCC my whole life.
So let's just think this one through.
1984, Ronald Reagan comes in and says, Look, The networks aren't the only game in town anymore, so we can relax a lot of these rules.
We're not going to regulate what's happening on cable because those are not airwaves.
So that's why you get cable swearing and everything else, and you still can't get it on CBS.
But there are standards, and one of the things that was left in place but never enforced was equal time.
And here's what this was back in 1936, they realized that broadcasters could become very nefarious and very clever.
If therefore, FDR, let's say, they could have FDR on their version of Friends or whatever.
They could have him on a really cool show.
You could have Arsenio Hall have Bill Clinton on, and he'll play the saxophone.
And if you wanted to, you could take a really uncool person if you just wrote it right, and you could have him on a series of episodes, and you could make him popular.
And so they realized you cannot have equal time for news.
News is just news.
I can't say, here's what the president said, and then go have to find the other side of everything because news is happening.
So, news was exempt from this, but entertainment was not.
Equal time.
You're going to put him on, you have to have the other side.
Okay?
That's the key to make sure that no one could gin up the support.
But that's not enforced anyone.
So, the allegation, the claim that People are circling right now is that networks have over time blurred the line.
And in fact, they've done more than that.
I would bet, and I don't know, but I have heard that Late Night is now classified as a news program.
I know The View is, and The View, part of it is because it started with ABC and so it was produced by the news division, but that doesn't make it a news show.
But that's closer to a news show than anything on late night television.
If late night television, and it is my understanding, and I'm not sure about Jimmy Kimmel, we'd have to check, but It's my understanding that these are classified with the FCC as news shows.
Is it news?
Is Jimmy Kimmel news?
No.
It is taped hours before it airs.
It doesn't operate like a newsroom.
It doesn't cover breaking developments in real time.
It's built around monologues and sketches and entertainment and political commentary layered in, but it is not a news show.
Okay.
In fact, the only newsmaker that they've had on, political newsmaker, in the last two months was Gavin Newsom.
That's it.
Same question for The View.
Is that straight news or is that a panel of hosts offering opinions, reactions, and arguments to the day?
And it's mainly entertainment.
I think with The View, I'm not sure if that's mainly entertainment because they are talking about the news every day in ways I despise.
But is it a news show?
I don't know.
Be careful because am I a news show?
Now, here's where the FCC might have a legitimate lane.
Are broadcasters accurately representing what their programming is?
When, if Jimmy Kimmel or any of the late night shows on any network is labeled to get around the FCC rules, rules that the FCC still has but has not enforced for a long time, if a show is truly news, then it gets certain consideration.
If it's entertainment, that's different entirely.
And you don't get to move back and forth between the categories depending on the benefits of the moment.
This is the argument.
And if that argument holds, If the network is effectively saying this is news when it protects us and entertainment when they want freedom, then there is something a regulator can do.
And not just for one show again, all of them across every single network.
I am not for inventing new laws, I am for enforcing the laws already on the books.
Now, I can't tell you, Brendan Carr could tell you how it's classified with the FCC.
But my guess is.
That ABC is doing this, and I've heard that other networks are doing it as well.
That they have reclassified late night TV as news.
No, Nightline was news.
You know, Jimmy Kimmel is not news.
Now, the FCC's authority is not unlimited here, but they do have a case on this.
Reclassifying Comedy to News00:14:59
If that's the case, then they should make it.
Now, there is another one, another case that I think is just as strong, if not stronger.
I don't want the FCC shutting down comedians.
I don't want them pulling a license over a monologue.
Okay.
But what's already on the books, what's already on the books needs to be enforced.
Now, here's the other thing.
Shoot, it's late.
Let me give it, give me one minute and I'm going to come back and I'm going to tell you the other thing that.
Makes a difference.
I do not want this led by Washington and the FCC.
I want this to be led by the people, and there is a way to do this.
It's going to take time, but it is the right way without inventing new powers or anything else.
I'll give that to you here in 60 seconds.
First, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
Sometimes the important thing to know is that another human being is there for you.
They're there.
The knowledge that somebody has that I haven't been forgotten, that's hope.
Right now in Israel, there are elderly men and women in families with children, people living under a constant threat of rockets and violence.
There are people who wake up every day to sirens several times in the middle of the night and have to run to a shelter.
And in moments like that, isolation can feel really heavy.
This is why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews matters so much.
They bring food to the hungry.
They help with urgent needs.
They care for the elderly.
They help families get through days most of us can hardly imagine.
But just as importantly, they send a message you're not alone.
You're not abandoned.
Somebody across the world sees you, cares about you, standing with you.
I don't care what your government is doing.
I care about you.
Give the gift of hope to God's people because we're God's people too, and we need to stand together.
Don't wait.
Call 888 488 IFCJ.
888 488 IFCJ or go online to ifcj.org.
That's ifcj.org.
10 seconds, station ID.
All right.
I want to give one more thing on this and then I'm going to move on.
This is the thing that I talked about a little bit last hour, and I've talked about this before.
If you want to make a difference, especially with ABC, there's two things stop going to Disney World, get your churches and everybody else to organize and boycott Disney World.
I mean, it's really easy to do.
Who can afford to go there in the first place?
They care about that.
If you want to.
The FCC to do something, you must write a letter to your local station.
And the letter to the local ABC affiliate says, You have a public interest.
You're violating the public interest.
You are violating our community standards.
You are not serving your community.
You say those things, and that puts a station on high alert.
They have to keep that file.
You have to send it to your local station and CC the FCC.
When those things start to stack up, you got a thousand letters like that, the FCC then can go in and say, We're looking at your license.
How did you respond to these people?
What did you do?
How did you react to that?
Did you just dismiss this?
That gives the FCC reason to look into these things.
Because, you know what, in New York City, Jimmy Kimmel is not violating community standards.
He's not.
But in a lot of cities, he is.
He is.
And ABC doesn't care about anything.
The local stations.
That's what they care about.
That's what they care about.
And the local stations, if you pit them against ABC, ABC is just a network they're hiring to provide programming.
Okay, they could do that for anybody.
They just happen to have the ABC, you know, catalog.
If ABC becomes a problem for the local stations and the local owners are like, we're going to lose our license, they begin to act and they begin to push back on ABC and say, you're not losing our license for us.
That's what causes the turmoil.
It has to be done by the local stations.
That just requires the FCC to enforce the law.
Both of these things require the FCC to do nothing except enforce the law that is already there.
You're not making up new rules.
You're not doing anything.
You are just asking the federal government to enforce the law.
And isn't that our frustration?
I don't want the government to have more power.
I don't want the FCC to have more power.
I want, honestly, I want them to have less power.
But we're in a fight.
You don't leave any tool in the box unless it's so disproportionate that you, you know, it's crazy to use.
You don't bring a nuclear weapon to a knife fight.
But we are at war, and it's a war for our country and our civilization.
These are two ways.
I don't want President Trump, I understand him, I feel for him, and especially Melania.
This has got to stop.
But this is the way to do it with the FCC.
It must come from you.
And the rest of it, they just must enforce the law because Jimmy Kimmel can't get away with this.
If he happens to be classified as news, that's not news.
And that they can change tomorrow.
All right, let me tell you about Simply Safe.
Peace of mind is one of those things that you don't fully appreciate until you don't have it.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Yesterday, James Comey was indicted on the seashell thing.
We'll get into this here in a second.
First, here's how he responded.
Cut to.
This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago.
And this won't be the end of it.
But nothing has changed with me.
I'm still innocent.
I'm still not afraid.
And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.
So let's go.
But it's really important that all of us remember.
This is not who we are as a country.
This is not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be.
And the good news is we get closer every day to restoring those values.
Okay, great.
Good for you.
All right.
I want to make sure I'm consistent.
Can you check with Glenn AI, Ricky?
Have you checked with Glenn AI to see?
Oh, I.
It was one of the first things I did this morning.
I knew we were going to have to talk about this story.
And I want to know what you said back when this initially came out in 2025.
You said at first you didn't think Comey meant kill him.
And you interpret it as getting him out of office.
That was very, very generous of you.
But then you heard Tulsi Gabbard talk about how he actually may have violated the law.
And you kind of changed course and you said that he has spent his career prosecuting the mob.
He knows exactly what 86 is.
Well, that's the way I remember it.
I remember at first saying 86, because I believe 86 it came from something in New York.
I'm pulling this way out of my butt.
Somebody in New York during Prohibition.
And one street address on one side was like 125th, and on the other side of the block, it was like 86.
And it meant get out of that door, go 86 it.
So go through the 86 exit because the cops are coming in for the other exit.
And so I interpreted it more like that.
But then I remember hearing Tulsi Gabbard talk about it, and she talked about him with the mob and how the mob uses 86.
That is the order to kill.
And so I.
I adjusted and was like, well, no, he's not more of a historian.
He's more of a prosecutor with the mob.
He would know exactly what that means.
Okay, so I'm still there.
He knew what that meant.
This whole innocent bullcrap, okay?
But now let's look at what he was indicted on.
Here are the charges count one, threatening the president, a violation of U.S. Code 188718.
I'm not going to read all these codes.
It makes it a crime to knowingly and willfully make a threat to take the life of or inflict bodily harm on the President of the United States.
Is that what he did?
Is that what he did?
You got to go back to the Vietnam War.
The Supreme Court, there was a kid, Jonathan Turley pointed this out the other day.
There was a kid in the Vietnam War who said, if they give me a rifle to fight and I have the opportunity, the first one I'll shoot is LBJ.
Okay.
And the Supreme Court said that wasn't a violation.
If that wasn't a violation, certainly seashells is not.
And I'm not saying that's right or wrong.
I'm just saying that's where the court decided with LBJ.
And we were living in exactly the same kind of thing.
People had been killed, et cetera, et cetera.
Count two transmitting a threat in interstate foreign commerce.
I love this one.
This prohibits knowingly transmitting via Instagram, which Crosses state lines, a communication containing a threat to injure or kill another person.
The indictment uses similar reasonable recipient language as above.
Maximum penalty is up to ten years, five years for each count.
Now.
It's not going to make me popular with you today, but that's okay.
My job is to tell you what I think and how I'm looking at it, and I'm not here to convince you of anything.
I'm just here to tell you this is what I think.
And this is not going to be popular with people who are sick and tired, because I am too, sick and tired of these people getting away with anything.
And you know what?
You could make a case to me that going after Al Capone for income tax was the right thing to do.
But I wish we could get people on.
Actual things that they did and not income tax.
But I don't think this is income tax.
I don't think you can prove anything.
Now, let me say this.
Jason, what did I say earlier this morning when I first came in?
We first talked about this.
It's important that I preface it, and I didn't.
So let me do it now.
It is important that I preface it with what we know right now.
For them to file this.
Indictment with the seashell picture seems pretty light.
You know what I mean?
That seems like anybody in the office would go, Yeah, that's not going to work.
That's not going to hold.
That'll be rejected immediately.
So, with what we other things that are in the indictment that we don't know of, and is there any indication of that, Jason?
A little bit.
The acting attorney general did say that it's up to the government to prove this basically through receipts.
So he acknowledged that this is, you know.
There are receipts coming.
That's what it sounded like that there's more to come.
Okay.
So here's my feeling on this.
If there's more to come, there's really nothing to debate.
We shouldn't be arguing with each other about this right now.
We should watch and see what's coming.
Why borrow trouble?
Why argue with each other?
Why call each other traitor and names and you're just against this or you're just for this?
Stop.
We don't have all of the facts yet.
Let's see this play out.
My initial take, if this is all they have, is two.
One, it won't hold up constitutionally.
And two,.
I'm not a fan of Pam Bondi.
By any stretch of the imagination, am I a fan of Pam Bondi?
I think Pam Bondi was, you know, an empty skin suit walking around.
Okay.
What did she do?
What did she do?
Now, we have this new acting attorney general who's coming in, and all of a sudden, we're starting to see things.
We're starting to see action.
Okay.
I want to see real action.
I don't want.
It doesn't help us make the case that these guys are bad by going after these kinds of things, okay?
Pam Bondi and New Actions00:09:16
The shells.
I want, if this is the best the FBI has on Comey, we're in trouble.
That means nobody's done anything.
If this is what you're like, we can get him on this, what do you say we try this one?
We're in trouble, okay?
They haven't done jack.
This could be an attorney general.
That or a guy who's acting as attorney general and wants the job saying, Oh, I'm gonna throw everything at them.
I'll throw everything, and I'm for throwing everything at them and seeing what sticks.
But I wouldn't have started with this, I would have added this on top of all the other things.
You know what I mean?
I wouldn't have started with, and now we got you.
Now we got the real heavy guns out.
We're gonna start with the seashells.
So that bothers me.
Can I pose a theory?
Yeah.
Do you remember when they threw everything at Trump administration officials?
Yes.
While they didn't get them on real crimes, they got them on some easy things and they got people to talk and squirm.
Brennan is under investigation right now.
Do you think it's possible they're using this as a way to get Comey to talk and pit him against Brennan?
I don't think Brennan, I mean, I don't think there's a true legal scholar that would look at this and say, I don't know, that's real trouble.
I think there's a legal, there are legal scholars out there that might go, I don't know, you can give it a whirl.
But there's nobody that says that's trouble.
And you're not going to get anybody to flip unless they think you're serious.
I've got you.
That's the difference between this and what happened with Fauci yesterday.
Explain what happened with Fauci's cohort yesterday.
Fauci's right hand man basically was, it looks like he's caught red handed in his FOIA communications, saying that, you know, basically, Doing exactly what they need to do, looking like they need to do exactly what they need to do to avoid any kind of scrutiny or get around FOIA.
So, whatever we want to talk about that could be damaging to our narrative, we got ways to talk about it.
So, that one to me is, oh, I'm coming for you.
The federal government has you saying these things.
That would scare the living bat crap out of me.
If I'm James Comey and I see the seashell thing, I'm like, okay, go ahead.
Go ahead.
It's going to make my life a pain in the ass, but I'm not going to prison on that.
If I am Fauci's number two guy, I look at that and go, I could be going to jail for a very long time.
And they're going after him because they're saying to him, I can guarantee you, they're saying to him, We have you dead to rights.
You're going away for a very, very long time.
Now, there is something we can do to lessen that.
You could start giving us more dirt on people.
You can give us.
Access to these things because you obviously know how the whole thing is.
They're trying to get him to flip.
I can't imagine.
I'm sure they would want to get Comey to flip, but I don't think they're going to get him to flip, especially on this.
Now, let me add one more story into the mix.
Jason, what happened yesterday in Minnesota?
So they had about 20 plus raids, you know, pertaining to the leering center type organizations.
That's just not the perfect thing, too, the leering, their leering.
Okay.
But yeah, it seems to be the start of this anti fraud task force actually getting down and doing something about it.
That is really good.
And that's led by this new attorney general as well.
I'm telling you, I could be wrong on this.
But if I'm President Trump, look at what he did as soon as this war started.
Hey, Marco, you come on over with me.
We're working on the war thing.
Okay.
You be the guy who's working on the war thing with me.
If it works, it's going to be good for you.
At the same time, we know that there's a split, and people are not going to.
I think this shows how smart Donald Trump is.
At the same time, we know there's going to be a split in MAGA.
I don't understand it.
I don't get it.
But there's a split in MAGA.
So, JD, I know you have some concerns about it.
I'm not going to throw you under the bus.
I want you to express your concerns.
Keep it nice.
Otherwise, you're a fat loser.
But you go ahead and express those concerns.
I'm not going to drag you into this.
In case it goes poorly.
But here's what I want to do I'm going to give you a real task force because when it comes to the election, people will forget a lot of things.
They will forget and they will forgive.
They will not forgive you for not paying attention to them.
If they feel this administration has abandoned them and is no longer responding to them, it's just all about oil and the gas and all of this stuff, they are not going to have any patience for it at all.
Donald Trump has taken and said to JD Vance, go get the fraud.
Go get them in Minnesota.
More importantly, go get it in California.
You get that fraud and you start nailing that.
You start putting people away.
A, you're going to start feeling good about the government's doing stuff and putting bad guys away.
You're also going to go, hey, thank God somebody is looking out for the little guy and not giving all of our money away to all these fraudsters.
And the guy who's doing it is going to be running for president of the United States.
It's a brilliant move.
I think that's what he's doing.
So, fraud in Minnesota, great move from our assistant attorney general or acting attorney general yesterday.
The Comey thing, let's just watch to see if they have anything else.
And the other FCC, we just covered that and told you exactly what has to happen there.
I think that clears all of this up and lets people who are MAGA, people who believe in Donald Trump, keep their values.
Keep their principles, not be somebody who's out for blood and just headhunting, but demanding actual justice using actual law.
I think that's a win.
I think yesterday was a win.
All right, more in just a second.
Let me tell you about American financing.
Some people get sideswiped in life, you know, medical bill, you never saw that one coming, or a job change changes everything in life.
You thought you understood your finances, and then it's completely upside down.
Higher prices are like that.
COVID was like that.
Gas prices are like that.
And you're in a position where your credit cards become that.
Bridge between paychecks, and those are high interest rates, and they're not forgiving.
I don't know if you know this.
I don't think there's a lot of good people that work in the credit card industry.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't think they actually care about you.
This is why I wanted to tell you about American financing because they do care.
If you're a homeowner, you have options to consolidate your high interest debt, lower your monthly payments, or put your home equity to work in a smarter way without resetting your low mortgage rate.
This is the one thing I want you to call them and ask them.
I've got a great rate on my mortgage.
I don't want to reset that, but I've got these high interest rates.
How can I keep my low interest rate and fix this with my credit cards?

We don't need to agree on everything, just enough to stand shoulder to shoulder.
Glenn Beck is back in a minute.
Warning, you are in a vomit zone.
The following may make you actually vomit.
And need duct tape.
Quote If you commit fraud in Minnesota, you're going to get caught.
And that's exactly what we saw today.
We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information.
Joint investigations work, and securing justice depends on it.
Governor Tim Waltz.
Gosh, just stop.
Oh my gosh.
Cue the duct tape.
Listen to that.
Listen to that.
You commit fraud, you're going to get caught.
Yes, you will.
We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information.
Yeah, like ice, maybe you piece of garbage.
Joint investigations work.
Yes.
Joint Investigations Stop Fraud00:02:15
And securing justice depends on it.
This guy, the only one who stepped aside and let these guys in.
So he doesn't go to jail.
I hope if the evidence shows it, he rots in jail.

America's Coming India Crisis00:05:02
Okay, you think you're frustrated.
You think you're frustrated.
And you are, I can guarantee you.
Have you ever been in a situation where somebody says, No, I'm sorry, you just need the paperwork.
No, I'm sorry, you just need the paperwork.
And it just goes on and you can't get anywhere with anybody.
And you just lose your mind.
This happened to a guy going into a bank.
And I want to tell you the story.
I'll tell you the story.
He lost his mind, and it's going to make you feel good about yourself.
It's going to make it see your life could be in complete chaos, and you'll be like, I'm not there.
I'm not there.
Wait till you hear this story.
Coming up in just a second.
First, let me tell you about chapter.
You know, turning 65 should feel like a milestone.
Instead, for a lot of people, it feels like a millstone, you know, a confetti cannon loaded with Medicare mailers, and you're like, what?
Suddenly, your mailbox is full, your phone starts ringing.
Every commercial promises something different.
Everyone claims to have the perfect plan for you.
And somehow, the more information you get, the less clear anything becomes.
This is why I want to tell you about Chapter.
These people who are selling Medicare programs, they'll all say they have the right thing for you, but none of them can look at the full spectrum.
None of them are using AI, and they're all paid by those insurance providers to sign you up for whatever insurance that they are repping.
You need somebody.
Like Chapter.
Chapter wants to make sure your, you know, 65 plus years are the best chapter in your life.
They have helped listeners in this audience just in the last few months find better fitting plans and saved, I think it was like $1.5 million just in this audience.
Just knowing that you're not getting steamrolled by a system, you know, kind of helps make sure that you don't feel so overwhelmed by things.
Look, if you're 65 or it's on the horizon, you're wondering if your current plan still makes sense, don't wait, give them a call.
Call is free.
Dial pound 250.
Say the keyword chapter.
Pound 250.
Keyword chapter.
Okay.
This happened in India.
Now, all the way through, I want to show you how you count your blessings instead of sheep.
You want to sleep at night?
Count your blessings instead of sheep.
First blessing.
You don't live in India.
Now, maybe you like curry.
I don't know.
But you don't live in India, and I'm just going to leave it at that.
You might have a bad day, but it's not this bad.
50 year old guy walks into the bank and uh, he's arguing with the banker, okay, the teller.
He'd been trying to take out 20,000 rupees.
Now, 20,000 rupees might sound like a lot, it's 211.
And he's trying to withdraw it from his sister's account.
And he has authorization to do that, but not unless his sister shows up.
And he's like, Yeah, but my sister is dead.
She just died last January.
And they're like, Yeah, well, she needs to come in and help me.
And he's like, She's dead.
She can't come in.
She's dead.
Well, I can't do anything until she comes in.
And she's dead.
She can't come in.
Come in.
I'm sorry, sir.
$211.
We can't close the account.
We can't give you that money.
You know, I mean, if she would like to come in herself with you, that was fun.
Now, you've had bad days, right?
You've had bad days.
Has your day ever been this bad?
He leaves the bank and he's like, You want my sister to show up?
Fine.
He goes to the cemetery and he digs her up.
He takes her out of the box.
It's just bones.
He wraps her up in, like, you know, a blanket or something, walks back.
Back into the bank with her bones and says, Here's my sister.
I want my $211.
So if you think you're having a bad day, just remember this.
You never had to dig up your sister to go to the bank to get $211.
So you got that going for you.
And again, I remind you, you're not living in India.
Although it might feel like that at times.
Uh, let me take you to America's coming India, California.
California's Fantasy Train Costs00:15:32
California, there are now new revelations about the estimated cost of the fantasy train.
Welcome to fantasy train.
Now, what was this supposed to cost?
You know, Ricky, what was this supposed to be?
It was supposed to be like $50 billion to start with, something like that, and then it was $100 billion.
Okay.
Um, and it was supposed to take just a couple of years.
It's still going now.
The price tag is $231 billion.
They have been saying, scrap this whole thing, scrap it.
But California just keeps digging.
How much was it?
2008, $33 billion.
$33 billion.
What a deal.
It's now $200 billion over.
$200 billion over.
And it's still not running.
Still not running.
And by the way, it goes from nowhere to nowhere.
So, I mean, if you ever, you're like, man, I wish I could get to nowhere, get on that plane.
I mean, you can get on, it's a ghost now, but you can think about someday getting on that train to go nowhere.
And somehow or another, the taxpayers just keep doing it.
They just keep going, you know what?
That's not so bad.
That's not so bad.
How about this one?
This, according to Brooke Rollins.
Brooke Rollins said, looking into.
SNAP recipients, okay?
They are scamming the system in one state.
Does she identify the state?
She doesn't.
She doesn't identify the state yet.
Do you have it?
I'll find it.
Okay, find it.
In one state, 14,000 people receiving SNAP benefits.
Now, remember, what's SNAP?
SNAP is something that Cloward and Piven.
SNAP is something that Joe Biden and everybody else said we have to give because people are so poor and they can't afford anything and we got to feed them.
And anytime you say no, you're called a hater because you just want to starve people.
And you're like, no, I don't want to starve people.
I want people who are actually hungry.
I want to help those people.
I want to help feed children.
I don't want to feed ghost children on a ghost train from Minnesota to California.
I want to feed actual children.
I want to help actual people who are really struggling to eat.
One state, 14,000 individuals have been getting SNAP benefits, are driving luxury vehicles, including 2,098 Teslas, 306 Land Rovers, 244 Alphas, 141 Porsches, 59 Maseratis, 11 Lamborghinis.
Three Ferraris and three Bentleys.
They're on snap.
So she has intentionally not disclosed the state.
And I bet it's because that state is in big, big trouble.
But I give you two guesses Minnesota, California.
Right.
It's probably not Florida or Texas.
Yeah, it's not.
It's not.
Do we have any idea?
No.
I'm telling you, I hope.
I really, you want to have credibility.
Brooke, you want to have credibility.
Make sure you go after a red state as well.
Go after a red state.
Make sure that you are looking at red states and blue states because I want their asses in prison as well.
I want any politician who is stealing from the American people.
Is there anything?
Yeah, yeah, there is stealing from a church, going in and taking the tithing money and stealing that.
Yes, then you're messing with God as well.
Is there anything worse than taking money away from people who are struggling every day to pay their taxes, doing the right thing, paying their taxes, not looking for shortcuts, not trying to get out of it, not trying to scam anybody?
They're actually working hard every day and paying their taxes, and you steal from them?
I got to tell you, this is the winning game.
Angle on the election.
This is 2028.
If JD Vance and his group, or the MAGA group, can actually expose all of this and begin to put people in jail, it's an estimated, an early estimation of $2 trillion over the four years of 2018 to 2022.
$2 trillion.
$2 trillion.
That's 5% of our national debt over four years.
Can you imagine what happened between 2022 and 2026?
You think it got better?
Oh, man, I got to tell you.
I got to tell you.
I got to tell you.
Sorry, I can't give you your SNAP payment unless your sister shows up.
Oh, I'll dig my sister up for this one.
Yeah, you put these people in jail.
Oh, I'll dig them up.
I'll come with the bones on this one.
And I don't think I'm alone in that.
I think, I mean, I've just had enough.
And I don't understand, Californians.
What is wrong with you?
Seriously, what is wrong with you?
I really, I want to know.
I'm begging you.
I'm not trying to point fingers.
I'm not pointing and laughing.
I'm not accusing.
I'm just, I'm seriously begging for information.
Do you have a mental illness?
Is it the weather?
Is it the weather?
Is the weather just so good?
You're like, I don't care.
They could set my children on fire.
I don't care.
It's 75 today.
I can keep the windows open.
There's no bugs.
Is that what it is?
Because I don't.
And if that is what it is, Illinois, what the hell is wrong with you?
Because you can never open the windows there.
I mean, what is happening?
What is happening?
Okay, so the latest, and this comes from Blaze News.
The SPLC, remember, they were.
We've got some informants on the inside.
We have some inside.
We have some inside informants.
We have Klansmen.
Yeah, okay, they're Klansmen, but they don't want to be Klansmen.
They don't want to be Klansmen.
But they are clansmen.
Yeah, but they're going to help us.
Okay, okay.
Apparently, the one that they were bankrolling, one of the organizers of the rally in Charlottesville, he was a true believer.
He was like, I don't know about you, but I love wizards and dragons.
And if I can dress up as a grand dragon or wizard, I'm all in.
Congratulations on that one.
I can't wait until.
Here's the good news all of this stuff is falling apart.
We need more time.
We need a lot more time.
If we don't win, can you white pill me a little bit on this one, Jason, on the election?
Because it looks like now everything that the media is saying, at least at this point, at this point, it looks like the Republicans are not in as much trouble as they thought they were or we thought they were.
Well, if you're just looking at the redistricting battle right now, Republicans, the GOP, appear to be winning every single one of those battles.
So we just won today Louisiana.
We've won Texas.
It looks like Virginia is going in Republicans' way.
And Florida looks like.
I mean, and I showed you that map the other day.
I don't think you can find a redder color than Florida.
No.
Honestly, I thought the only blue spot on the map may be Lake Okeechobee.
It may be the only thing is a blue lake in the middle of it.
And a lake is even giving it way more justice than it deserves.
This is like a fishing pond in someone's backyard.
It's crazy.
It's a wild ride.
Was that a joke or is that real?
That's legit.
If this goes through, this proposed map from DeSantis goes through, that's what it's going to look like.
So it looks good going towards the midterms.
I've looked at a few other people that say prediction markets are kind of staying away from a lot of the hoopla and emotion.
You know, I have to tell you another reason we must have the election.
We must have the presidential election.
Is because of the census that comes out in 2010, Obama had it.
2020, it was Biden that did all of this stuff.
2030, it's got to be a Republican because that's how they're getting all of the money to go to these states that are pissing it away.
Just pissing it all away.
Yeah.
I will say that the GOP is not doing themselves any favor because it's still early, but they're still not doing any favors by just showing how they're not.
Able to do any kind of action through Congress.
Have you seen what's going on with the Farm Bill right now?
A lot of insiders have talked about that.
No, I have not.
Sorry.
This is from Anna Paulina Luna.
She just tweeted this, I think, last night, but she said, We are happy to report that one of my amendments removing pesticide liability will get a vote on the House floor as part of the Farm Bill.
However, the Rules Committee is pairing the Farm Bill along with FISA and reconciliation under something called a rule.
I mean, it feels like their hands are tied every year, though.
What they're doing is they are, you know, they know the farm bill has to pass.
They know the farm bill has to pass.
They can't lose that farm bill.
And so they're taking FISA and trying to wrap that into anything that they know has to pass.
What about the Save America Act?
Why isn't that in there?
Yeah.
Why aren't we doing that with the Farm Bill?
Hmm?
Why, Republicans?
I'd like to know anything at all about the Save America Act.
Anything at all.
I got news for you.
The guy, you know, the guy's sister in the blanket was just Bones?
Probably more active than you are in Congress.
All right, more in just a second.
Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's Patriot Mobile.
There are plenty of bills in your life that you pay because you have to taxes, insurance, fees, nobody can explain.
Little charges that show up on a statement that were added by gremlins in the night, it seems.
But your mobile service doesn't have to be one of those things you just tolerate because you're going to pay that monthly bill, but why send that money to a big wireless company that uses it to support causes you don't believe in?
Patriot Mobile is different.
America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company.
Dependable coverage on all three major networks, so you keep the service, you just don't sacrifice the quality.
And the difference is where your money goes.
With Patriot Mobile, you're supporting a company that stands for free speech, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life, our veterans, the values that other companies are eager to mock.
And they work hard to keep their pricing low and competitive, so you're saving money.
I want you to go to patriotmobile.comslashbeck.

Station ID.
Ricky just said, I have to make a clarification on Brooke Warren.
She's not in a blanket.
Definitely identify with that Indian man.
And I'd like some curry now, please.
She said she didn't identify the state, but she did say it was a red state.
Now, the reason for that is that the blue states have been refusing to give enough data to compile reports like this.
So most of this information is coming from a red state.
But if I had to guess, it's not Mississippi.
I think we'd notice a bunch of Lamborghinis.
No offense to Mississippi.
Who do you think it is?
Might be Texas.
Could be.
I mean, our population and our infusion of immigrants.
And quite honestly, our infusion of our major cities of leftists.
Oh, we have a lot of cities that are super blue.
God help us in the midterms.
By the way, speaking of this, have you guys seen the grand opening, the announcement, the shovel thing that we did at the museum?
It's on glenbeck.com right now.
Okay.
So we did last week, we announced that Mercury One and American Journey Experience is.
Opening it, and I give you a sneak peek into it on what it's going to be.
We're going to completely reinvent the museum experience, and it is.
I am more excited about this than anything I've ever done in my life.
Can you give us a tease?
Don't give us timelines.
It is going to be the timeline, it is extraordinarily short.
Okay.
Some things have happened that have just fallen into place.
I was telling Jason about earlier today.
Some things that I've been working on for literally 10, 12 years and could not get anything to happen.
All of a sudden, went.
Boom, Everything fell into place, and they came to me and, like, Glenn, you'll never guess who just called us wants to help.
And it's the person that I've been trying to get for 12 years.
We're going to reinvent the.
Anyway, anyway.
Watch that.
You can find it at glenbeck.com right now.
And what's important about that is that's in Irving, Texas.
And Irving is this great town.
It's the most diverse zip code, I believe, in America.
Okay.
So it's very.
It's great, but it also has some issues with some Islamists.
And we're going to be taking care of some of that.
We're planting a stake right in Irving.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.
Right?
Is that where we are?
No, we're not there yet.
Sorry, Sarah, I'm hearing all kinds of different things in my ears.
So, anyway, you can find out about that at glenbeck.com.
You don't want to miss that.
Watch that, and I explain the American Journey experience.
We're going to love it.
And it's going to open sooner than you think.
Sooner than you think.
All right.
Stand by.
We have more of the news that we have to cover today.
Going to cover everything that we've got left on the table before we get out of here.
And there's still a lot to go.
So stand by.
Relief Factor for Pain00:15:29
All right, Z Factor.
Human beings are the only creatures who are aware of what they sleep and they treat sleep like it's an optional hobby.
I don't see a lot of cats laying down, having a hard time tossing and turning.
I've got so much work to do, I've just got to get all this work done.
We're like a phone battery.
Once it goes down, it's bad.
Once you keep draining that battery, it just doesn't come back up.
You need to sleep.
You can't just catch up on it on some weekend.
You've got to get sleep, regular maintenance, if you will, on your body as a human being.
So here's what I want you to do I want you to go and get some Z Factor.
If you're having a hard time sleeping, this is a supplement made from the makers of Relief Factor.
It's designed to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and then wake up feeling refreshed.

I got to tell you, it's a dark set.
It's a dark set.
It's a dark, sad day for anybody who loves the Fed.
Jerome Powell, he's gone.
Yeah, we lost him too soon.
He's gone.
It's at 2 30.
His last speech today at 2 30.
Because the new guy's going in.
He's just been approved by the Banking Committee.
Now he's got to face the full Senate vote, but that'll happen.
And so you got a new Fed chair coming in.
Now, that's kind of like.
Oh my gosh, Amy Coley Barrett, she's going to be great.
And then you're like, I don't know if she's going to be great.
You know, it's kind of like the Supreme Court.
You never know what you're going to get.
You know what?
Life's like a box of chocolates.
Actually, Washington, D.C., the Supreme Court, and the Fed is like a box of chocolates, but they're usually moldy, old, been up in the attic, and they all suck when you bite into them.
But we'll see.
This guy might be different.
Can you give me a little bit on him, Jason?
So, Kevin Warsh, we know he's a registered Republican.
That doesn't say much.
Yeah, right.
Some of his views have been characterized as a skeptic of excessive Fed intervention in markets.
How are you feeling on that?
I like that.
Emphasis on fighting inflation, hawkish leanings, and criticism of mission creep at the central bank.
I tell you what.
All three of those, if he actually means it.
Yeah.
And we'll back it up.
Not like.
You know, I'm kind of skeptical about that, but let's do it anyway.
I mean, outside of saying, you know, I'm coming in, I'm shutting the whole Fed experiment down.
It's going to be great.
Not bad.
Not bad.
It's going to be great.
I mean, look at this.
I mean, why aren't we dreaming big?
I mean, Donald Trump dreams big.
He dreams big.
Why aren't we dreaming big like that?
I want the next president now.
I want JD or, you know, Marco or somebody else.
I want somebody else to come in and say, These are the big things that we're going to do.
Donald Trump has given us a chance because he's at least thinking big.
He's not eating around the edges.
But now we need somebody who is.
We need a Malay.
Oh.
Can you imagine if we had Javier Malay?
Oh.
Oh, why don't you like that?
Ricky's giving me a face like.
I love the idea.
I just hate to get my hopes up that we ever would.
It would have to get so bad.
We would have to have inflation.
Like they did in order for someone to be able to come in and do change.
It will work.
It will be.
It will be.
I love your optimism.
You know, on the ideas, that's something that's been vacant for so long within the GOP.
Usually we get, you know, no new taxes or less spending, and then when they get in, you see none of that.
That's very common, but those are the only big ideas.
This is the only time when you look at foreign policy, geopolitics, everything, it has been a new idea, and that's when they usually come and attack you the most.
So I have a big idea, and it's not a.
It's not like a moonshot, but I think it's imperative.
I think, you know, the tax pledge, the Newt Gingrich tax pledge?
Oh, you don't remember that?
When this one for the GOP, you had to say no taxes, no taxes.
And then they came in, and under Newt Gingrich, they cut taxes, and they did a lot.
They had to take this pledge.
I think we need a new pledge.
No Sharia law.
I think every single politician needs to be asked, will you ban Sharia law?
In the United States, ban Sharia law.
That is a real, you know, not, you know, it's again, it's not a moonshot.
It's not like, oh my gosh, that's so creative, but it's imperative.
Imperative.
If we can't get our side to say, oh, yeah, I'll ban that, I'll pass that.
We do have 65 members in the Sharia Free America Caucus as of April.
65 in Washington, yeah.
I mean, there's like 400 something more to go, but yeah, but still 65.
That's I think it's all because of you, really.
Oh, you're jihad from within, yeah, it probably is.
That and they just happen to know Ilhan Omar and they're like, you don't want World War 12 rolling around again.
By the way, speaking of bad politicians, here's Mamdani, here's Cut One, declaring, now this is going to come as a surprise to you.
New York is in a budget crisis.
Listen.
New York City faces a budget crisis of a historic magnitude.
We inherited a deficit larger than any since the Great Recession.
Years of mismanagement and chronic underbudgeting.
Wait, stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Since the Great Recession?
You've got like 400 years of city behind you since the Great Recession.
Oh, well, slow down on that one.
All right, go ahead.
The structural imbalance between what New York City sends to the state and what we receive in return has taken a toll.
We cannot close this deficit with savings alone.
We need new revenue.
And we need a structural reset in our relationship with the state.
That is the only way to meet our legal obligation to pass a balanced budget and to do so without imposing a financial burden onto the backs of working people.
I'm glad to partner with Speaker Menon as we call upon Albany and deliver a balanced budget.
We need more revenue.
Well, good news is you're opening a new grocery store.
What does that mean?
We need new revenue.
When a politician says we need new revenue, it's not like when you're working at the SP, man.
Okay.
What that means is we're going to tax people.
When you want to tax people, but you want the working class not to be taxed, who do you tax?
You tax the rich people.
But you've already taxed them so much.
And you've chased them out of your city.
How are you going to get?
Who's going to pay that?
Told you.
Told you.
It happens every time.
Socialism isn't neat until you run out of somebody else's money.
They're running out of money.
They're running out of the rich people to destroy.
They're coming after you.
Congratulations.
This actually happened a lot faster than I thought it was going to.
Usually lessons on socialism take decades.
He is just incompetent.
There's no business sense in this guy at all.
You can't fake this.
Did you hear what his plan was to balance the budget?
I'd like to propose that we just don't pay the pensions.
What?
That's not a plan.
That's illegal.
I mean, it's not a plan.
That was his actual plan.
I thought he was the man of the people.
Yeah, I know.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, the people is on.
Well, who was that one woman who was on the left that was mocking Erica Kirk for buying her dress at the White House dinner?
Did you see this?
She was.
Actually, saying she's a big, you know, some big blogger or something, you know, from the left.
And she was mocking Erica Kirk and I think our second lady, Lady Vance, Pete Hegseth's wife.
Pete Hegseth's wife for wearing things that were not couture.
And it's like, are you?
Wait, what?
You're one of the people and you're having a problem that it was in a discount.
She actually said that dress, Erica Kirk, that's in the discount rack at Saks Fifth Avenue.
Oh.
She bought a dress for the occasion.
That's all that occasion deserved.
Yeah, right.
But she did.
It wasn't like she bought it at even Target.
It was at the discount rack at Saks Fifth Avenue.
It's like she's just wearing a t shirt from Target.
Well, so what if she is?
You snob.
You absolute and total snob.
These people are such.
They don't care.
They do not care about the working person.
They don't.
They care about the elites.
Who is it?
I watched Les Miserables.
I know.
Who is it that always starts these revolutions?
When it goes to a Marxist revolution, who are the ones that do it?
Do you know?
The elites.
Can you be any more specific on that?
The highly educated?
Highly educated elites.
The highly educated, the youth that have grown up as an elite, they go to college, they fill their head with all this Marxism, they're the ones.
It's not the poor people.
It's the highly educated elites who are like, you know what?
We've got to help, we have to help all these poor people.
I mean, I don't want to.
Touch them, but we have to help them.
And then they help themselves.
And all of those people are the first to suffer.
All the people that they say they're trying to help, they're the first ones to suffer.
We saw, actually, I think we had it in prep yesterday.
There was a recent poll that showed that the more educated they were, the more likely they were to be okay with political violence.
Of course.
Of course.
Does that make sense to you?
Do you know why?
I think.
I think this is because we used to be.
You go to, is it Yale, Lux et Veritas, Light the Truth?
If you look at that logo, that's the scriptures.
Okay, it's the scriptures.
All of these universities used to teach from the scriptures, and then they would teach other things, but the basis was the scriptures.
Now you go into universities, you're not learning universal truth.
You're learning the philosophies of man, and the philosophies of man are so rotted to the core now because there's no universal truth.
There's no universal truth in science.
They've made it so science is the exact opposite of faith and of God.
God, if He exists, is the greatest scientist ever.
Look at how exact everything is.
You may not want to believe in God, but tell me how it is you change.
By a tenth of a degree, you change the temperature of space and the entire thing collapses.
That just happens to be that exact?
Everything, everything that you see is exact.
Explain the human brain.
You can't, but you certainly will just say it just, well, we all started as snakes and our brain just turned into what it is.
That doesn't make any sense at all.
And so you're not going, there's no humility in it.
There is no eternal truth.
There's no real questioning that maybe we could be wrong.
It's nothing but nonstop arrogance.
Of course, these are the people that are the ones who are more likely to do revolution.
Of course.
Of course.
By the way, I want to let me take a quick break.
I want to show you what happened yesterday with King Charles.
King Charles was at the White House and.
And he spoke it in front of Congress, and, you know, of course he said, it's the rule of law that keeps, you know, dictators from becoming dictators and a balance of power.
Really?
Mr. King?
Really?
You know, we're the ones that have the No Kings March, and you are actually wearing a crown and you're going to lecture us about freedom.
Meanwhile, as you are arresting 14,000 people on free speech violations last year, 14,000 people in the United Kingdom.
Okay, please don't lecture me on that.
But there were some amazing things that happened.
Donald Trump, I don't know who wrote the speech, but it was fantastic.
Fabulous, what he said yesterday about the 250 and why it was appropriate that the king was there.
We'll go into that here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about relief factor.
Every day you get older, whether you like it or not.
And then one of the things that, you know, tends to come with getting older is aches and pains.
Joints start to wear down, old injuries jump back into life, and normal exercise of everyday living begins to catch up with you.
I told you exercise was bad for you, but all those years of walking and lifting and bending and climbing and getting out of chairs.
The good news is you don't have to just accept it.
That's why I want to tell you about Relief Factor.
It's a daily drug free supplement designed to help reduce or eliminate pain by addressing inflammation.
And over a million people have tried Relief Factor at this point.
And two thirds of them have gone on to take more.
And I'm one of them year after year.
This year, as we celebrate 250 years of freedom, are you living with the freedom you deserve from pain?
Try the three week quick start today.
See if it works for you.

Windsor Knots and King Charles00:03:13
So, the King of England was in town yesterday.
Yippee.
And it made me happy.
And I'm going to get to Melania Trump's butt pat here in just a second.
But first, let me say whoever wrote the speech for Donald Trump yesterday, when he's introducing the King, it was masterful.
I mean, it was masterful.
I want you to listen to this.
Cut three, please.
Honoring the British King might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence, but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate.
Long before Americans had a nation or a constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed.
Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts.
moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea.
For nearly two centuries before the Revolution, this land was settled and forged by men, women, who bore in their souls the blood and noble spirit of the British.
Here on a wild and untamed continent, they set loose the ancient English love of liberty and the great Britain's distinctive sense of glory, destiny, and pride.
And that's what it is glory, destiny, and pride.
It was great.
An appropriate celebration for America's 250.
Unfortunately, the king had to be there.
But the other thing that I thought was great can we show the picture of Melania Trump?
Donald Trump gave this little pat on her butt as they were greeting the king and they're walking down.
And, you know, she's a good looking woman.
She's a good looking woman.
And they love each other.
And Camilla has no hand anywhere near.
The king's hands are like almost on Donald Trump's butt.
Like, I don't get them near her.
But anyway, the one thing I, and this is such a, I'm such a geek on this.
Do you know why, do you know why babies, girl babies are dressed in pink and boy babies are dressed in blue?
Do you know that, Jason?
No.
It was the Windsor family, it was Prince Charles or King Charles family.
It used to be the opposite way.
And the Windsor family decided, no, no, no.
Blue is for boys.
Pink.
It used to be the pink was the bold color.
And they switched it.
When you tie a tie, it's in a Windsor knot.
The Windsor family.
The Prince of Wales checked suits.
You know what Melania did yesterday?
As he shows up as his fashion icon, she shows up in the greatest American designer ever, Ralph Lauren.
