=== Exhausting Food Shopping (03:15) ===

[00:00:00]  You know, it's becoming exhausting buying food from companies that want your money, but don't want to tell you where anything is made or anything much about it.
[00:00:08]  You pick up a package, you squint at the label, and somehow you still need a private investigator to figure out what you're actually bringing home for dinner.
[00:00:16]  It shouldn't be like that.
[00:00:17]  It shouldn't be hard.
[00:00:18]  That's one of the reasons I like Good Ranchers.

[00:01:44]  Now let's get to work.
[00:02:42]  Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[00:02:46]  It is Tuesday, and boy, I got a lot on the plate today.
[00:02:51]  But I want to start with this judge who.
[00:02:53]  I just feel bad.
[00:02:56]  I just feel bad for people who try to kill the president.
[00:02:59]  You know, this is the second guy the president has apologized to, you know, when they get into the courtroom after trying to kill the president.
[00:03:08]  Second guy.
[00:03:09]  I feel so bad for you.
[00:03:11]  I feel so bad for you.
[00:03:12]  Come on, let's hug it out.
[00:03:13]  Come on, let's hug it.

=== Act of War Against Republic (11:09) ===

[00:03:15]  That in a response to Charlemagne the God, who I don't really care about.
[00:03:20]  I mean, I don't know Charlemagne.
[00:03:22]  I don't have a problem with Charlemagne.
[00:03:24]  I don't know who listens to Charlemagne.
[00:03:27]  I don't really care about any of it.
[00:03:29]  But, you know, he responded to something I said yesterday, and now I've got to respond because, and not to him, I don't really care.
[00:03:38]  But something has to be cleared up because it is all about this assassination culture that we're in.
[00:03:44]  I don't understand assassins, I don't understand them.
[00:03:48]  And neither should you.
[00:03:49]  And I'll explain coming up here in just a second.
[00:03:52]  First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
[00:03:54]  It's Rush Tax.
[00:03:55]  You know, we're past tax day now.
[00:03:56]  And if you've received a letter or a notice from the IRS, do yourself a favor and don't put off dealing with it, really.
[00:04:02]  You'll thank me for this one.
[00:04:03]  The IRS doesn't send those letters as suggestions, they send them because the deadline is coming.
[00:04:08]  And if you miss it, they act.
[00:04:10]  It's especially dangerous if you own a business and you're behind on payroll taxes.
[00:04:14]  IRS will shut down your business, they'll seize your bank accounts, they'll come after you personally.
[00:04:19]  Oh, but don't you feel so patriotic?
[00:04:21]  I mean, really?
[00:04:22]  Trying to handle this on your own, really a bad idea.
[00:04:24]  This is why I would recommend Rush Tax Resolution.
[00:04:27]  They'll step in, they'll help you figure out what's actually going on, what your options are, and how to start taking control of it again.
[00:04:33]  Rush Tax, it's an A-plus rated tax resolution company by the Better Business Bureau, and they are also a company that I trust and recommend for this.
[00:04:41]  They offer a free IRS transcript investigation.
[00:04:43]  They'll tell you up front whether they can help you or not, and they'll only take your case if they know they can help you.
[00:04:50]  So call 877-554-7874.
[00:04:56]  Or go to rushtaxresolution.com.
[00:04:59]  That's rushtaxresolution.com.
[00:05:03]  All righty.
[00:05:04]  Well, let's see.
[00:05:06]  What do we got going on today?
[00:05:07]  What kind of crazy things is America up to today?
[00:05:10]  Well, I would like, before I start this story, I would like to suggest that if you've committed any kind of federal crime, if you're trying to, you know, if you're doing robbery, fine, whatever.
[00:05:28]  But if you are somebody that's in the government, That has committed a crime, or you are being prosecuted by the government for some sort of crime, you know, some political crime.
[00:05:40]  I think we should have a new lottery.
[00:05:42]  I don't think if you are being tried in the District of Columbia, I don't think you can get a fair trial.
[00:05:47]  I really don't.
[00:05:48]  And so I really think we should start having lotteries.
[00:05:51]  Now, I know the Constitution says it has to happen, you know, inside of where the crime was committed, yada, yada.
[00:05:58]  But too much crime is happening in Washington, D.C., and too many things are happening where the judges are like, You know, I don't really think that's a problem.
[00:06:06]  Okay, so you had a gun and a knife and you were going in to kill a whole bunch of people.
[00:06:10]  But let me hug it out.
[00:06:12]  I really think, I mean, you might get the District of Columbia.
[00:06:15]  I'd like a lottery.
[00:06:16]  You go in, you might get the District of Columbia.
[00:06:19]  You might also get a judge and a jury in some East Jesus, Kentucky, where the people aren't really, you know, kind of all down with a DEI hug it out kind of stuff.
[00:06:29]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:06:31]  So you have a chance of getting the hugging judge or the hanging judge.
[00:06:38]  What do you say?
[00:06:38]  Can we compromise on that?
[00:06:40]  Maybe?
[00:06:40]  I mean, I'm not saying we have to eliminate all hugging judges.
[00:06:44]  I would like to.
[00:06:45]  But I'd like to be reasonable and say you just have a shot at getting the hanging judge.
[00:06:51]  The latest radical charge now with this trying to assassinate the president, Donald Trump, Cole Thomas Allen, has, by the way, have you ever noticed assassins always have three names?
[00:07:01]  He walks into a court, and what happens?
[00:07:05]  Come here, you knucklehead.
[00:07:06]  What'd you do?
[00:07:08]  The magistrate judge, Zia M. Faruqi, I got so many things.
[00:07:20]  I don't even know where to start with the name.
[00:07:21]  Okay.
[00:07:22]  But anyway, he comes into Faruqi's courtroom and he doesn't just, he doesn't just, he doesn't, well, first, he doesn't scold the guy who actually did anything.
[00:07:34]  He scolds the jail and apologizes to the would be assassin.
[00:07:40]  I'm sorry.
[00:07:42]  Jeez, whatever you've been through, I apologize for the prior week.
[00:07:47]  Wait, what?
[00:07:48]  What?
[00:07:49]  Are we talking to the same guy here?
[00:07:51]  I mean, I would be standing in the courtroom going, Your Honor, you wait, you might have this guy come in.
[00:07:55]  This is the guy who went to the White House correspondence dinner, armed to the teeth, shotgun, handgun, knives, fires at a Secret Service agent, almost point blank, would have killed him if he wasn't wearing a vest.
[00:08:06]  He had planned it for weeks.
[00:08:07]  Remember that guy?
[00:08:08]  I think that's who you're talking about.
[00:08:10]  No, I'm not confused.
[00:08:11]  I'm not confused.
[00:08:12]  I know exactly who he is.
[00:08:14]  Now, he's not a kid, he's not confused, kid.
[00:08:17]  This is just the latest.
[00:08:19]  Of attempts to decapitate the leadership of the United States of America, to blow a hole through the heart of the republic.
[00:08:28]  Kind of a big deal, you know what I mean?
[00:08:30]  It's not like I went into CBS and I stole some gum.
[00:08:34]  The judge is there, he's wringing his hands.
[00:08:37]  Oh my gosh.
[00:08:39]  Was he on suicide watch?
[00:08:42]  And he had to be escorted into the shower wearing a padded vest.
[00:08:45]  Oh my gosh.
[00:08:46]  Oh my gosh.
[00:08:47]  Now, there is one thing that I didn't like.
[00:08:50]  He asked for a Bible, he wasn't given a Bible.
[00:08:52]  He should have been given a Bible.
[00:08:53]  What is the problem with that?
[00:08:54]  Why aren't we doing that?
[00:08:55]  Oh, I know.
[00:08:56]  Because we're an insane town where everybody in Washington, D.C. hates Christians.
[00:09:03]  So why would you give him a Bible?
[00:09:05]  Give him a Bible.
[00:09:06]  Maybe he'd come up with something like, hey, wait a minute, I shouldn't have done that.
[00:09:11]  Now, Faruqi looks at the conditions and he says with a straight face, my gosh, you came in here, you were escorted into the shower?
[00:09:25]  They thought they were going to kill yourself and they escorted you.
[00:09:27]  You had to wear a padded vest the whole time.
[00:09:30]  Well, this treatment is worse than what anybody on January 6 got.
[00:09:35]  What?
[00:09:38]  Let me remind you for years, the DC jail has been a disgrace and everybody knows it.
[00:09:45]  It's filthy, it's violent.
[00:09:47]  You know, we could get into the reports of sewage, mold, denied medical care, and yes, restricted religious access, especially for the January 6 defendants.
[00:09:59]  Okay.
[00:10:00]  And many of those were, oh my gosh, they were violent grandmothers.
[00:10:03]  They were violent grandmothers who walked through the door.
[00:10:07]  Mm hmm.
[00:10:07]  An open door.
[00:10:09]  Yep.
[00:10:09]  Some of them were held pre trial, pre trial in solitary like conditions for months, denied basic rights.
[00:10:19]  And it took their complaints to finally force the U.S. Marshals inspector to expose the rot for everybody.
[00:10:26]  But it took months for that to happen.
[00:10:28]  This guy's been sitting in jail for a week.
[00:10:32]  By the way, the January 6th, I don't remember the January 6th grandmother writing, Well, I'm going to put my knitting down and then I'm going to kill all of the people that are running the country.
[00:10:42]  No, they weren't trying to murder the president.
[00:10:46]  Some of them were really bad people.
[00:10:49]  But a lot of the people who went to jail on January 6th and were in solitary confinement, they were exercising what they believed their First Amendment rights were on January 6th.
[00:10:57]  And yes, some faced much worse than what Alan is griping about lockdown 23 hours a day, families blocked, lawyers.
[00:11:06]  Fighting for basic humanity, lawyers trying just to see their own client in jail.
[00:11:12]  So the record is really pretty clear here, Faruqi.
[00:11:16]  The outrage over January 6th, those conditions were real.
[00:11:21]  It's documented.
[00:11:22]  And it was worse in many cases because it was dragged on and on and on and on, and no one would put a spotlight on it.
[00:11:31]  But Faruqi, he knows because he handled a lot of those cases himself.
[00:11:36]  So he knows the history.
[00:11:38]  He detained some, he fined others heavily.
[00:11:42]  But now, the man who literally pulled the trigger in an attempt on Trump's life.
[00:11:48]  He's comparing, well, I was going to say apples to oranges, but it's not even apples to oranges.
[00:11:52]  It's apples and hand grenades.
[00:11:55]  So he throws in a dig about pardons, not erasing history.
[00:11:59]  Gosh.
[00:12:01]  What is going on here?
[00:12:03]  What is going on?
[00:12:04]  I'd like to move that we have a lottery system and keep trials out of the District of Columbia because I don't even think it's America anymore, at least in the court system.
[00:12:15]  I don't even know what they're doing.
[00:12:18]  This is a judge in the swamp.
[00:12:21]  Treating a direct threat to the President of the United States with kid gloves while the system crushed grandma and dads for far less.
[00:12:32]  Now, I don't know about you, but I think attempting to assassinate the President isn't a protest, okay?
[00:12:42]  It's an act of war against the Republic.
[00:12:46]  It's aiming to decapitate the power structure that keeps the country free.
[00:12:51]  Cole Allen doesn't deserve an apology from the bench.
[00:12:55]  He deserves the full weight of the law.
[00:12:58]  Secure detention until a jury decides.
[00:13:00]  And if he is guilty, and I don't know how you get out of the guilty thing, we have him on tape doing all of those things.
[00:13:06]  We have him on tape saying he's going to do all of those things.
[00:13:10]  We have his written letter saying it.
[00:13:13]  We have his family also saying, he was trying to do all these things.
[00:13:17]  I don't know.
[00:13:18]  I don't know how you're going to find him, you know, not guilty.
[00:13:21]  But believe me, in New York, I mean, in Washington, D.C., they'll find a way.
[00:13:25]  He should get the maximum sentence here.
[00:13:28]  Judge Faruqi, with all due respect to the robe, because it looks lovely on you, it does.
[00:13:34]  Your comments reveal a dangerous softness at exactly the wrong moment, okay?
[00:13:40]  We don't need judges apologizing to assassins.
[00:13:45]  We need judges who protect the innocent, deter the violent, and remember that equal justice means treating threats to the president that you don't like with all the seriousness that it demands.
[00:13:57]  And all the seriousness you would give to the threat to a president that you do like.
[00:14:04]  And notice the difference between those who were not carrying guns and knives and threatening to kill the president and those who did.
[00:14:14]  I mean, if this is the standard in D.C., then yes, Congress, the courts, the American people, you have to demand accountability.
[00:14:22]  The rule of law is not optional.

=== Protecting Innocent Judges (08:08) ===

[00:14:25]  I know a lot of people think it is, but it's not.
[00:14:27]  And it should never be when the target is the leader of the free world.
[00:14:31]  Not.
[00:14:32]  Ever.
[00:14:35]  Faruqi, you sound like a dessert.
[00:14:40]  And maybe you'd be a lovely dessert.
[00:14:42]  Would you like a little more faruqi?
[00:14:45]  Oh, I don't know.
[00:14:46]  I've just had so much Dubai chocolate.
[00:14:48]  I don't know if I could have a bite of faruqi.
[00:14:50]  No, no, you've got to have it.
[00:14:52]  There's nothing like Dubai chocolate and a little faruqi on the side.
[00:14:56]  I'd love to impeach you, but that's not the way it works, unfortunately, with your gig.
[00:15:02]  But America.
[00:15:04]  You better start recognizing, not left or right, right and wrong, because this is 100% wrong.
[00:15:12]  But it doesn't stop there.
[00:15:13]  And that's the good thing about my job.
[00:15:15]  I could go on and on and on because the insanity never seems to stop.
[00:15:19]  More in a minute.
[00:15:20]  Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
[00:15:22]  The people who founded this country understood that the best way to exist in society was to strive towards a balance of freedom and moral responsibility.
[00:15:32]  Oh, I remember when I was young and naive.
[00:15:35]  Try not to take this for granted.
[00:15:37]  Try to do business with those people who feel the same way because freedom isn't something you just talk about on holidays or hang on a wall in a frame.
[00:15:45]  It shows up in everyday decisions.
[00:15:47]  Shows up with people who you trust, people you support.
[00:15:51]  Where does your money go?
[00:15:52]  What kind of help, what kind of country that you help strengthen is all based on the choices that you make.
[00:16:02]  One of the reasons why I like Patreon Mobile they provide dependable nationwide coverage, competitive pricing, U.S. based customer service, but they also support causes that defend faith, family, free speech, and freedom.
[00:16:13]  So if you're already paying for phone service each month, why not pay a company that respects the values that made this country worth?
[00:16:19]  You know, building in the first place.

[00:16:33]  10 seconds.
[00:16:34]  Station night.
[00:16:45]  Okay, let me give you a couple of other stories here.
[00:16:51]  A lockdown at the White House was caused by a U.S. Secret Service officer shooting a suspicious arm individual who shot a juvenile, according to the Secret Service deputy director.
[00:17:03]  Reporters say they were ushered from the North Lawn of the White House to a press briefing room after the lockdown was called at about 3 30 yesterday.
[00:17:13]  Whether it was directed to the president or not, we don't know, but we'll find out.
[00:17:16]  I got a lot of confidence in you, Secret Service.
[00:17:18]  I'm sure you're on it.
[00:17:21]  The plainclothes officer who was patrolling the White House perimeter observed that the suspicious adult male had a visual print of a firearm not far from the White House complex.
[00:17:32]  Is that a gun in your pocket?
[00:17:35]  Several uniformed Secret Service police officers then confronted the man.
[00:17:39]  He tried to flee on foot and then fired in the direction of the officers.
[00:17:43]  They fired back and struck the man.
[00:17:44]  The man was transported to a hospital.
[00:17:46]  Quinn had no comment on his condition.
[00:17:49]  Oh, can we hold him and cradle him and just.
[00:17:52]  Sing him really sweet songs because I would hate to have him go in front of Faruqi.
[00:17:57]  He also noted the motorcade for Vice President JD Vance had just driven before the incident.
[00:18:01]  Whether or not it was directed to the president or vice president, we don't know, but we'll find out, blah, blah, blah.
[00:18:06]  Okay, so yet another armed attempt at shooting somebody in our government.
[00:18:13]  Congratulations on that.
[00:18:15]  All of you on the left must be so happy and so proud because I can understand it.
[00:18:20]  I can understand how they get there.
[00:18:22]  Oh, really?
[00:18:22]  Because I'm going to get to that here in a second.
[00:18:25]  Let's see.
[00:18:26]  We also have Democratic California Representative Ted Lieu, who posted 8647 on his ex account Sunday.
[00:18:36]  Oh, that's funny.
[00:18:38]  That's funny because the whole country is saying James Comey didn't know what that meant.
[00:18:44]  He didn't know that that was a threat to the president of the United States.
[00:18:49]  And because of that debate, Ted Lieu knows exactly what it means.
[00:18:54]  But he's like, You know what?
[00:18:55]  It's going to be funny anyway if I say it, especially after everybody's trying to kill the president over and over and over again.
[00:19:03]  Oh, no.
[00:19:03]  I just, we should turn down the rhetoric in this country, but we've got to start with the Republicans first.
[00:19:09]  Thanks, Ted.
[00:19:11]  Let's see.
[00:19:11]  So we have an assassination attempt, another guy in the White House with a gun.
[00:19:15]  Then we also have Ted Lieu.
[00:19:16]  What else do we have?
[00:19:18]  Oh, we have the graffiti on the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.
[00:19:25]  The feds are investigating who spray painted 8647 on the reflecting pool.
[00:19:33]  Oh, again, probably some prankster.
[00:19:36]  That's it.
[00:19:36]  You know, probably just some prankster.
[00:19:39]  He didn't know what he was doing.
[00:19:41]  Then we also have the nonviolent leftist, Raymond Chandler.
[00:19:54]  He's from Pittsburgh.
[00:19:57]  He just left a voicemail that says, I want you to put that firearm to the president's head and pull the trigger.
[00:20:06]  Oh, crazy rabbit tricks are for kids.
[00:20:11]  Oh, and then somebody else, finally, finally, finally.
[00:20:17]  We got a guy who's a brewer.
[00:20:20]  He's a leftist from Wisconsin.
[00:20:24]  Kind of redundant there, isn't it?
[00:20:27]  And he was saying, you know, gosh darn it.
[00:20:31]  Another one failed on the assassination attempt.
[00:20:35]  And so he said he's filed papers to become the next governor of Wisconsin.
[00:20:43]  But he's also, I mean, he could really, well, he's a patriot because he said free beer for anybody who actually kills the president.
[00:20:53]  Oh, well, there's a strange incentive.
[00:20:58]  But no big deal, right?
[00:21:00]  Right.
[00:21:02]  Got free beer day.
[00:21:03]  We almost got it.
[00:21:04]  That's what he said.
[00:21:05]  We almost got a free beer day.
[00:21:09]  You know, either a brother or a sister in the resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or Trump's just faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle.
[00:21:21]  We'll never know, but we stand ready to put up free beer on the day that it happens.
[00:21:28]  And this guy is still walking around.
[00:21:30]  This guy is now running for governor of Wisconsin.
[00:21:33]  Congratulations, Democrats.
[00:21:34]  You really have, no, you've got the best of the best.
[00:21:38]  You do.
[00:21:39]  You have the best of the best.
[00:21:41]  Do you see what you've turned into?
[00:21:44]  Is it beginning to imprint on anybody?
[00:21:47]  Because it is on half the country.
[00:21:49]  I don't know how you're missing it, but it's making you into a very dangerous group of people.
[00:21:57]  I would suggest that if you are a Democrat and you don't vote like me and you don't agree with me, you at least start saying online and you make it very, very clear I'm not for any of this, I'm against all.
[00:22:12]  All of this.
[00:22:13]  I think this kind of thing, I don't like Trump.
[00:22:15]  I don't like his whatever.
[00:22:17]  You can say whatever you want, but I am not for gunplay.
[00:22:21]  I'm not for free beer to assassinate.
[00:22:24]  I'm not for these jokes.
[00:22:26]  I'm not for any of this.
[00:22:30]  Can we get an amen from a single Democrat?

=== Fighting Assassination Legitimacy (15:35) ===

[00:22:33]  I just want regular people.
[00:22:34]  I don't expect this from the politicians.
[00:22:37]  Their soul has been sold so long ago to the dark side, you're never going to see them do anything.
[00:22:42]  You're never going to see them turn around.
[00:22:45]  They'll only turn around or pretend to turn around if their voters actually start to turn on them and say, you know what, I could vote for all kinds of different tax policies.
[00:22:54]  I can even go some Marxist ways, but I am not going down the road of death to anybody who disagrees with me.
[00:23:02]  Just not going to.
[00:23:03]  I know history enough to know where that leads.
[00:23:07]  No, no, no, but I can understand how people get there.
[00:23:10]  That's what Charlemagne the God said the other day, and I responded to it, and he doubled down. Yesterday.
[00:23:15]  That's fine.
[00:23:16]  Whatever.
[00:23:16]  I want to tell you, I don't care about him.
[00:23:18]  I want to tell you why that just doesn't work in America.
[00:23:23]  First, let me tell you about chapter.
[00:23:25]  You know what's harder than making a decision?
[00:23:27]  Making a decision when you don't fully understand all of the options.
[00:23:30]  And that's exactly where people find themselves all the time with Medicare.
[00:23:35]  It's not that they don't want to make the right choice, it's just that there are so many choices, so many plans, so many details, and it starts to feel less and less like a decision and more like a test you didn't study for.
[00:23:45]  And if you're a business owner, The consequences of making a wrong decision could be really dire.
[00:23:50]  Pick the wrong plan, you end up paying more than you should, or not having the coverage you thought you did.
[00:23:55]  That's why there is chapter.
[00:23:57]  I really like these people.
[00:23:58]  They're not tied to any one insurance company, which means they can actually look at all of the options and help you find the plan that fits your doctors, your prescriptions, and your budget.
[00:24:07]  Most of the people, they only represent a few companies.
[00:24:09]  And so they're making a decision maybe on what's best for you, but also maybe they're influenced a little bit because they only have a few options in front of them, and they also represent the ones that pay them the biggest fees.
[00:24:21]  Dial pound 250.
[00:24:22]  The call is free.
[00:24:23]  Call chapter.
[00:24:25]  Make your retirement years the best chapter of your life.
[00:24:29]  Dial pound 250.
[00:24:30]  Say chapter.
[00:24:31]  Pound 250.
[00:24:32]  keyword chapter.
[00:24:35]  Right now, Torch Insiders have access to tons of behind-the-scenes moments from Glenn in New York City last week.
[00:24:40]  Join now and see what you're missing at glenbeck.com slash torch.
[00:25:01]  So, I normally stay away from these things like the plague.
[00:25:05]  I don't like it when, you know, hosts go after each other.
[00:25:10]  I don't know Charlemagne the God.
[00:25:12]  I, you know, I'm sure he's a pleasant man.
[00:25:16]  You know, but I don't know him at all.
[00:25:19]  I was in New York last week and he said something that, you know, I understand the shooter and how the shooter got there.
[00:25:27]  And I responded to, I don't understand.
[00:25:30]  You know, and he didn't understand my point.
[00:25:33]  I said, I understand people feeling like being hit with the economy.
[00:25:38]  I understand that completely.
[00:25:41]  But I don't understand how that makes you want to kill the president of the United States.
[00:25:47]  And so he responded, I think, yesterday or something.
[00:25:51]  And so I don't want to respond to him directly today because it's not about him and me.
[00:25:57]  This is important to set the record straight because he doesn't seem to get it.
[00:26:03]  A lot of people don't seem to get it.
[00:26:05]  And it's a very important point.
[00:26:06]  So let me start with what he said yesterday about my point.
[00:26:11]  Here he is.
[00:26:15]  You know who Glenn Beck is, right?
[00:26:16]  I know who Glenn Beck is, right?
[00:26:17]  He was recently having a conversation on his radio show, I believe, about some of my comments in regards to the shooting that happened at the White House Correspondence Dinner.
[00:26:27]  Now, I made some comments about that situation.
[00:26:29]  My comments were simple.
[00:26:30]  There is no place for political violence in our society, none.
[00:26:34]  I don't condone it, but I think we do ourselves a disservice when we don't talk about how people can become radicalized.
[00:26:42]  And the reality is the Trump administration has caused so much pain to people's everyday lives that some folks are fed up and willing to risk it all.
[00:26:50]  Well, Glenn Beck decided to talk about those statements.
[00:26:53]  And in his caption on IG of the video, he put, Charlemagne justifies, and he put justifies in all caps, Charlemagne justifies the Trump assassination attempt.
[00:27:06]  With a question mark, an exclamation mark.
[00:27:08]  Glenn, your social media people knew what they were doing.
[00:27:10]  Okay, they were trying to paint the picture that I was justifying the Trump assassination.
[00:27:14]  That's why they put justifying in caps, but you put a question mark at the end to protect yourselves.
[00:27:19]  Okay, I believe that.
[00:27:19]  People like Glenn Beck have been too rich, too privileged, and too in a bubble for so long that they have zero clue about the pain so many in this country are currently facing.
[00:27:28]  And if you listen to what Glenn Beck said, he gets it, but he just shrugged it off.
[00:27:33]  He literally says, I understand the economic pain.
[00:27:35]  Let's listen to that part.
[00:27:37]  What the hell pain are people going?
[00:27:38]  I mean, I understand economic pain.
[00:27:40]  It started under Biden.
[00:27:42]  What pain are people going through right now that you can go, yeah, I can see why they want to kill him.
[00:27:47]  If you understand the economic pain, then why are you asking the question, what pain?
[00:27:52]  I don't agree with vigilante justice.
[00:27:54]  I don't think political violence is the answer.
[00:27:55]  But we have to have honest conversations about how these people are being radicalized.
[00:28:01]  Gleambeck knows this.
[00:28:02]  Yes, we should talk about violent political rhetoric that leads to political violence.
[00:28:07]  And we should discourage that and denounce it.
[00:28:09]  Okay?
[00:28:09]  Especially when it's coming from the president of the United States of America.
[00:28:13]  But we should also talk about violent political policies that are hurting the pockets of everyday working class Americans and discourage and denounce that too.
[00:28:24]  Okay.
[00:28:24]  All right.
[00:28:27]  I really like you, but I think you're an idiot on this.
[00:28:32]  Okay?
[00:28:33]  You see what happens when you use the word but?
[00:28:37]  Charlemagne and anybody else who thinks like this, in a free society, I'm against assassination, but I can understand how one got there.
[00:28:47]  Is not nuance, it's surrender with a smile.
[00:28:52]  Empathy is not the same as understanding.
[00:28:56]  Empathy says, I see your rage.
[00:28:59]  I see your despair.
[00:29:00]  I see your sense of betrayal.
[00:29:02]  I really do.
[00:29:05]  Period.
[00:29:07]  Understanding whispers, I see all those things.
[00:29:12]  But I also can follow the logic that makes murder reasonable.
[00:29:16]  No.
[00:29:17]  Once you grant the logic, you've already seated the assassin at the table of legitimate debate.
[00:29:23]  There is no seat at the table for the assassin.
[00:29:26]  You've told the next killer that his grievance is human and understandable, even if his bullet becomes regrettable.
[00:29:35]  That's not compassion.
[00:29:37]  That is your darker self putting on a suit, calling it insight.
[00:29:43]  We live in America, 2026.
[00:29:47]  We live in America, which means in 2026, we have ballots, we have courts, we have microphones, we have lawsuits, we have recall petitions.
[00:29:56]  You know, you have the right to.
[00:29:59]  To leave for another state tomorrow.
[00:30:02]  We don't have gulags.
[00:30:04]  There's no secret police at the door.
[00:30:06]  There's no famine engineered by the state.
[00:30:09]  The gap between our loud, messy frustrations and the kind of persecution that once justified people killing tyrants is the size of all the oceans put together on earth.
[00:30:24]  When a citizen in this country decides that voting, speaking, suing, or waiting for the next election is no longer enough and that only a bullet will do, The failure is not in the republic.
[00:30:35]  The failure is in the soul that chooses the bullet.
[00:30:40]  And anyone who softens that truth with the root cause, well, let's look at the root cause or sympathetic footnotes.
[00:30:49]  You're not showing empathy.
[00:30:52]  You are performing moral cowardice in the costume of depth.
[00:30:58]  You are teaching the young that principle comes with an asterisk.
[00:31:03]  That the line between thought and murder is kind of negotiable here.
[00:31:08]  You know, if your feelings are running high, well.
[00:31:13]  Free societies don't survive on laws alone, they survive on internalized conviction, taught, reinforced, modeled that political violence is never, ever, ever legitimate.
[00:31:25]  Did I use the word ever?
[00:31:27]  Look it up.
[00:31:27]  Martin Luther King.
[00:31:28]  Have you read him?
[00:31:30]  Have you read Gandhi?
[00:31:31]  Have you read Jesus?
[00:31:34]  This conviction is fragile and it has to be guarded by those who shape the culture, Charlemagne.
[00:31:42]  It also needs to be guarded by the politician, the journalist, the professor, the priest, the influencer.
[00:31:50]  When they equivocate, you don't illuminate, you erode.
[00:31:56]  Real empathy looks a broken man in the eye and says, I hear you.
[00:32:03]  Your pain is real.
[00:32:05]  Your argument may even have merit, but the moment you pick up the gun, you become the tyrant you claim to hate.
[00:32:14]  There's no but in that sentence.
[00:32:21]  We cannot pretend that it is understandable in a nation that still lets you speak, vote, organize, and breathe free air.
[00:32:29]  Good God, no kings.
[00:32:31]  How about you go right downtown and pick up a sign that was probably paid for by the Communist Party of China?
[00:32:37]  And go march around and say no kings.
[00:32:39]  And the reason why you can do that is because he's not a king.
[00:32:43]  Oh, are you this stupid?
[00:32:46]  No, Charlemagne, you're not.
[00:32:48]  And neither is your audience.
[00:32:50]  It's just laziness.
[00:32:54]  I'm not saying we live in a perfect world.
[00:32:57]  I'm not saying I like everything that's going on.
[00:33:00]  We have deep, deep issues and problems that we should be talking about.
[00:33:05]  Instead, what we're talking about is I can understand how you got to the gun.
[00:33:09]  That's cultural poison.
[00:33:13]  You have to fight.
[00:33:15]  You have to fight the legitimization of assassination.
[00:33:25]  The moment you concede, the moment you concede that, well, I understand how we got there, the republic itself is conditional.
[00:33:35]  It's revocable.
[00:33:37]  The instant enough people feel sufficiently aggrieved, that's not wisdom, that's not compassion, that's not empathy, that's slow suicide of a free people.
[00:33:49]  So let's be clear once and for all.
[00:33:53]  I do not understand how one gets there.
[00:33:56]  Not in this country, not today.
[00:33:59]  I reject the premise that any American grievance in this country can ever travel down that road.
[00:34:10]  You have to starve the darker self of every excuse, every sympathetic, meh, of every but.
[00:34:18]  Because a free society that refuses to do so will never stay free.
[00:34:25]  It'll just wait for the next bullet and then say, oh, that was inevitable.
[00:34:34]  I'm not going to even listen to his response because I don't want a war.
[00:34:39]  I don't want to be in a war with anybody.
[00:34:42]  I don't really care.
[00:34:44]  I just, I thought I made it clear, but I heard what I said and I didn't make it clear.
[00:34:51]  I didn't make it clear last week.
[00:34:53]  It was just too, you know, I understand.
[00:34:57]  I understand, you know, the pain.
[00:34:59]  And by the way, Charlemagne.
[00:35:01]  Please don't play that game.
[00:35:03]  Glenn's just been too rich for too long.
[00:35:05]  Really?
[00:35:06]  Really?
[00:35:08]  Charlemagne?
[00:35:09]  I can pretty much guess how much you make.
[00:35:13]  You can pretty much guess how much I make.
[00:35:16]  Don't play that you're one of the people.
[00:35:20]  And oh, Glenn's just so far removed, but I'm one of the people.
[00:35:23]  Charlemagne, please give it a rest.
[00:35:26]  Give it a rest.
[00:35:28]  I do understand.
[00:35:32]  I don't live that life.
[00:35:34]  And.
[00:35:37]  I'm glad I don't live that life anymore, but I'm not very far away from living that life in either direction, quite honestly.
[00:35:47]  Nothing is permanent.
[00:35:50]  But I do feel it.
[00:35:52]  It's why I started three different charities.
[00:35:56]  How many charities have you?
[00:36:00]  I give between 20 and 30% of my salary away to charity every year.
[00:36:05]  How about you?
[00:36:08]  Action makes all the difference.
[00:36:11]  Action makes all the difference.
[00:36:16]  I don't say that's the first time I've ever said that number on the air.
[00:36:21]  And I say it to you, Charlemagne, to challenge you.
[00:36:27]  And if you have a higher number, throw it back at me and challenge me to do better.
[00:36:33]  But please don't try to make yourself look like you're one of the people.
[00:36:39]  You don't have to be one of the people.
[00:36:41]  Do you think Joe Biden was one of the people?
[00:36:45]  Do you think Elizabeth Warren is one of the people?
[00:36:48]  Do you think Ocasio-Cortez with her beautiful tax-the-rich dress a few years ago at the Met Gala is one of the people?
[00:37:00]  Please.
[00:37:04]  Hope that clears things up.
[00:37:05]  Back in just a minute.
[00:37:07]  Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
[00:37:10]  You ever find yourself in the middle of a really difficult set of decisions and all of a sudden you think, wow, wouldn't it be nice if just once somebody knew?
[00:37:20]  How to do this better than I do.
[00:37:22]  So, can somebody help me?
[00:37:25]  A great example of this is buying or selling a house.
[00:37:27]  It really is not something you want to do on your own.
[00:37:30]  If you've ever done it before, you know it's really complicated, requires a lot of planning, a lot of work, a lot of hard work, a lot of guessing.
[00:37:35]  If you don't know what you're doing, you need somebody that really knows the market, knows how to sell the house, knows how to price it right, knows how to get it sold, knows how to help you buy the next one, not overpay.
[00:37:46]  That's why I started a company over a decade ago called Real Estate Agents I Trust.
[00:37:50]  It's a real estate network of agents who are full-time, incredibly dedicated professionals and they're fully committed in helping you realize your home buying and home selling goals.
[00:38:00]  They're going to get things done right, and done right the first time.
[00:38:03]  I want you to check it out.

[00:38:21]  Glenn Beck is back.
[00:38:22]  After this.
[00:38:35]  Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways.
[00:38:38]  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.
[00:38:46]  It is actually called home title fraud, and it's exactly what it sounds like.
[00:38:50]  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.
[00:39:03]  The scary part is, like, you don't Really, I don't know much about this as it's going on.
[00:39:06]  Regular homeowners' insurance doesn't typically protect you from this, and the mortgage company isn't looking for it either.
[00:39:12]  That's why you need Home Title Lock.
[00:39:14]  They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal fraud.
[00:39:18]  So you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem.
[00:39:23]  Something suspicious shows up, you can immediately act and you can knock it out quickly.
[00:39:29]  I've partnered with Home Title Lock for a while now because I want you to be able to protect your equity.

=== Protect Your Home Equity (06:04) ===

[00:40:17]  All right, let me take Joanne in North Carolina.
[00:40:20]  Hello, Joanne.
[00:40:20]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[00:40:23]  Hi, Glenn.
[00:40:23]  I just wanted to say this is crazy.
[00:40:28]  Okay, I'm going to try and gather myself and make my point real quick for you.
[00:40:32]  All right.
[00:40:33]  I don't think my husband and I are raising five grandsons.
[00:40:37]  We've had them all since they were babies, they're brothers.
[00:40:39]  The youngest is nine, the oldest is 21, okay?
[00:40:42]  They all live at home.
[00:40:43]  We have one income and we don't get any assistance.
[00:40:48]  We are making it.
[00:40:50]  It is, we can't afford frivolous things, but we can afford everything we need and a little bit of what we want, okay?
[00:41:00]  And when our grandparents and great grandparents and whoever went through the Great Depression and other hard times in the past, nobody went out and tried to kill the president because of it.
[00:41:14]  And or anybody else.
[00:41:15]  Actually, hang on just a second.
[00:41:16]  Actually, it's not entirely true.
[00:41:19]  The communists.
[00:41:21]  In the labor unions, uh, were causing all kinds of havoc on the streets.
[00:41:28]  Uh, so you did have the same exact elements that are causing problems today, were causing problems then.
[00:41:34]  But you're right, the general population rejected all of that because we were a different people.
[00:41:39]  We were a people that understood eternal principles and that we were all in it together.
[00:41:45]  Yeah.
[00:41:45]  And the other thing is, is we have to look at, I have, I hear nobody talk about this.
[00:41:50]  For the last 30 years at least, we have become a society of want.
[00:41:56]  And more, more, more.
[00:41:58]  And so many people, I don't have the exact percentage, but I know it's a lot because I know a lot of people.
[00:42:04]  And we have overdone it financially.
[00:42:09]  We are loaded down with debt.
[00:42:11]  When we want something, instead of waiting until we can afford it, we just open another credit card or get another loan.
[00:42:18]  And then we got, we had things already that we really couldn't afford.
[00:42:23]  And now because we're going through this rough time, While everything gets straightened out in our country, it's really gotten bad for a lot of people who are considered, quote unquote, well off.
[00:42:35]  And they're not really well off.
[00:42:37]  They just had a lot of things that they couldn't afford to begin with.
[00:42:40]  And I think it's important to mention that, that, you know, there's a lot of people who are in trouble because of their own bad financial decisions.
[00:42:50]  And now that's come to fruition when we're struggling.
[00:42:54]  So I wanted to mention that, too, because, like I said, we're supporting.
[00:42:59]  Seven people on one income.
[00:43:01]  It's not a huge income.
[00:43:02]  It's like $150,000 a year.
[00:43:06]  And these boys need things and they get what they need.
[00:43:10]  And then again, there's a little bit for what we want.
[00:43:12]  But I'm not blaming anybody for that.
[00:43:16]  Yep.
[00:43:17]  Joanne, thank you very much.
[00:43:18]  I hate to cut you off, but we're up against a network break.
[00:43:20]  You make a very, very good point.
[00:43:23]  You know, we're all struggling in our own ways.
[00:43:26]  We're all struggling and we should be in it together as our grandparents and great grandparents were in World War II.
[00:43:32]  We are in this together.
[00:43:33]  We are not enemies of one another.
[00:43:36]  Stop trying to divide us.
[00:43:38]  Can we not unite and see the pain in each other and help one another?
[00:43:42]  Clamp Act is on!
[00:43:45]  Animal Farm is one of those stories people often think about and they think they already know it.
[00:43:50]  Of course, you remember hearing about it in school and of course you remember the title.
[00:43:53]  It's a classic and you assume you got the idea.
[00:43:55]  But then you experience it again, you realize it hasn't lost step at all.
[00:44:00]  You realize how relevant it was then when it was written and how still relevant it is today.
[00:44:06]  There's a new animated version of George Orwell's Animal Farm.
[00:44:09]  It's engaging, it's timely, and it's the kind of story that entertains you in the moment and then follows you home and keeps working on your thoughts afterwards.
[00:44:16]  It's a great thing to talk to your kids about it and really explain what was going on there.
[00:44:22]  Especially with your older kids, it opens the door to important conversations about power and propaganda, truth, human nature, and what happens when people stop asking questions.
[00:44:30]  It's beautifully done, respects the audience, reminds you why great stories last, and they keep becoming relevant all over again.

[00:45:42]  Hello, America.
[00:45:43]  There's...
[00:45:44]  There's a lot going on today, especially in the Middle East.
[00:45:46]  I'm going to give you a rundown of that next hour, but I want to give you a bigger vision of this president on what he is doing with the choke points around the world.
[00:45:55]  He is single-handedly reshaping the entire world.
[00:46:00]  He's not doing it with the WEF and the United Nations.
[00:46:05]  He is doing it as one man with a vision and reshaping everything, the entire world order that has been set into place in 1945.
[00:46:17]  And it's incredible to watch if you know what you're looking for.

=== Sean Spicer Trump 2.0 Book (13:43) ===

[00:46:21]  And I'll break that down, but I wanted to bring Sean Spicer in because he's got a new book out called Trump 2.0 The Revolution That Will Permanently Transform America.
[00:46:30]  And Sean's a good friend, and I have so much respect for him.
[00:46:34]  And I think he's right to a degree.
[00:46:37]  And that one degree is what I want to talk to him about.
[00:46:41]  And we'll start there in 60 seconds.
[00:46:43]  First, let me talk to you about Leaf Filter.
[00:46:44]  There is a point in ownership where you start noticing, you know, That's what everybody else is doing down the street who mows their lawn too often, who never mows it at all, who's out there fixing something every single weekend.
[00:46:57]  And then there's gutter day.
[00:46:58]  Don't you love gutter day?
[00:47:00]  Somebody's up on a ladder trying to balance, scooping out whatever has been sitting up there since last fall, hoping it doesn't drop on themselves and fall off the ladder.
[00:47:08]  And you're just standing there on the ground like a person who made a better decision earlier in life.
[00:47:12]  That's the difference leaf filter makes.
[00:47:14]  It keeps the gutters clear so you don't have to go up on the ladder.
[00:47:17]  No mess.
[00:47:17]  No, I'll get to it next week.
[00:47:19]  And the best part is you don't have to say a word about it because your neighbors.
[00:47:22]  They figure it out on their own.
[00:47:23]  How come he's never up on the ladder?

[00:47:44]  Sean, my friend, how are you, sir?
[00:47:46]  Good to hear from you.
[00:47:48]  I'm a little scared.
[00:47:50]  I sort of get very worried with the intro.
[00:47:52]  Like I'm about to be challenged.
[00:47:54]  I felt like I'm going into a briefing again.
[00:47:57]  I heard that, and I'm like, the one degree matters.
[00:47:59]  And I'm like, oh boy, it's getting in there.
[00:48:01]  And it's like, I'm going in for the big.
[00:48:02]  No, no, no.
[00:48:03]  No, I lay your point.
[00:48:04]  I was Googling.
[00:48:05]  I was like, what am I about to do?
[00:48:08]  No, And then, Sean, let me tell you something.
[00:48:11]  I'm going to rip your face off.
[00:48:13]  No, it's a friendly discussion.
[00:48:16]  I think you will see my point.
[00:48:18]  I think you're going to see my point here.
[00:48:20]  But here's the problem I've listened to Glenn Beck long enough that when you have a point, It's usually really insightful and brilliant.
[00:48:27]  And I worry that I'm not prepared for it.
[00:48:29]  That's my concern.
[00:48:30]  Okay.
[00:48:30]  All right.
[00:48:31]  All right.
[00:48:32]  No, it's a two-step question.
[00:48:33]  Thursday, I'd be worried.
[00:48:33]  Thursday.
[00:48:36]  You've thought of this one anyway.
[00:48:37]  You'll have an answer for it, I guarantee you.
[00:48:40]  Give me your theory here on the book.
[00:48:43]  The theory is this: I know people were concerned that President Trump didn't return to office sequentially in 2024.
[00:48:53]  But the reality is, those intervening four years, what happened during those four years to prepare him to return for office? Was unbelievably consequential.
[00:49:01]  The way that he was able to think about the people, the process, the policies.
[00:49:05]  He is going to be historical and consequential because he was out of office for four years, because they plotted and planned the return.
[00:49:14]  They not only brought in the right people, they kept the right people out of the administration.
[00:49:19]  They knew where to go, how to do it.
[00:49:21]  And part of what I explain is what happened during those four years.
[00:49:25]  People haven't really fully examined, Glenn.
[00:49:28]  The Project 2025, the America First Policy Institute.
[00:49:32]  The America First Legal.
[00:49:34]  All of these groups, all of the work they did came to fruition that allowed him to start in his first year in everything from NATO to DEI eradication to the Maha movement.
[00:49:46]  It would have never happened had he not been out of office for four years.
[00:49:52]  Yep.
[00:49:53]  He didn't have the time to catch his breath.
[00:49:56]  I think he walked in, and Sean, you would know better than I do.
[00:49:59]  I think he walked in in 2016.
[00:50:01]  I didn't, you know, when he started, I'm not sure that he started thinking he was going to be president.
[00:50:06]  I mean, Probably he did because that's the way he kind of thinks.
[00:50:09]  It's always, you know, accomplished in his head.
[00:50:12]  But thinking, hey, I've been friends with the left.
[00:50:17]  I've been friends with Democrats.
[00:50:18]  We all get along.
[00:50:20]  You know, it's going to be a different.
[00:50:21]  And then when he got in, I think he was just, I mean, it was sledgehammer to the head every single day.
[00:50:28]  And I think he was a little dazed.
[00:50:30]  And it took that four years for him to, first of all, get out of that and go, what the hell just happened?
[00:50:37]  And who did this to me?
[00:50:39]  And how do I make sure that doesn't happen again?
[00:50:42]  And if I've got one more shot, I'm going to make it count.
[00:50:46]  And that would not have happened if he wouldn't have lost in 2020.
[00:50:51]  You just nailed it.
[00:50:51]  I mean, that's the reality.
[00:50:53]  When we walked in, there was this perception, and I had worked in the Bush White House, right?
[00:50:57]  There's this sense that the people that surround you respect the election that the people voted in that put you back in office.
[00:51:05]  And so there were people that President Trump selected to serve in his administration that I think we all thought.
[00:51:10]  Well, they've got to have the president's best interests at heart.
[00:51:13]  They've got to be committed to moving the America First agenda, and they weren't.
[00:51:17]  And to your point, like I even, when I wrote my first book, it was like you were going so quick, you never got a second to stop and think.
[00:51:25]  And as I mentioned, every other president but one has been sequential.
[00:51:29]  Monday becomes Tuesday, the same Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, same chief of staff, just keep working on the same project.
[00:51:34]  You just go down to the Capitol, raise your hand, and swear and affirm that you'll continue to uphold the Constitution for another four years, and then you go back to business.
[00:51:42]  Because he was out of office, he thought, man, Maybe I don't want this person in.
[00:51:46]  And I'll give you the perfect example.
[00:51:49]  During 2015, Jim Mattis came up to Bedminster to visit with the president.
[00:51:54]  So, and had recommended that he'd be a good secretary of defense.
[00:51:57]  They met.
[00:51:58]  And on December 15th, 2016, we got in a plane.
[00:52:01]  We flew to North Carolina and announced him as the secretary of defense.
[00:52:04]  The president had known him for exactly one year.
[00:52:07]  I mean, excuse me, one hour before he named him secretary of defense.
[00:52:11]  You contrast that with Pete Hegseth.
[00:52:13]  It's been, what, 15 years that they've known each other?
[00:52:15]  He has a level of familiarity with these people that didn't exist back then.
[00:52:22]  So he said to me when he was running, he said, I, it's my goal to be remembered as one of the greats, you know, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington.
[00:52:33]  And I thought to myself, well, that's a pretty, that's a pretty high bar you're setting for yourself because I have, I revere those men, especially George Washington.
[00:52:42]  And I have gotten to the place to where looking at his policies, if they succeed, He is a refounder of the United States.
[00:52:52]  He is as consequential as Abraham Lincoln.
[00:52:56]  And he may be the guy who saves the Republic.
[00:53:00]  He is in that category of the top three.
[00:53:04]  Yeah.
[00:53:05]  Here's my question to you it's almost all executive order.
[00:53:14]  If he loses, and he knows this, he has two years to complete a lot of this stuff.
[00:53:21]  If he loses the midterm, which he could, if he loses, especially the Senate, we're in real deep trouble.
[00:53:28]  If we don't have somebody who understands his vision and what he's doing, we're going right back to where we were.
[00:53:36]  They will all jump back onto that WEF bandwagon and it'll be worse than it was because they'll feel justified in going after everybody.
[00:53:48]  How does he hold on to this and get through this?
[00:53:54]  You know, 2028.
[00:53:57]  What has to happen so we don't immediately just have a president walk in and go, yeah, all these executive orders are over.
[00:54:05]  And then it's over.
[00:54:07]  So you're right.
[00:54:08]  What can be done by executive order can be undone by executive order.
[00:54:11]  Biden proved that when he came into office and undid a lot of stuff, and then Trump reversed it back.
[00:54:16]  So that's number one.
[00:54:16]  So the short term, we need to continue to get a Republican Congress.
[00:54:20]  We saw the movie in Trump 1.0, which was they just impeached and investigated him.
[00:54:25]  They effectively shut down the.
[00:54:27]  America First agenda.
[00:54:29]  So we need to understand what's at stake.
[00:54:31]  I think I feel very good about the Senate.
[00:54:33]  You look at, we've got a three seat majority there, seven seats in play nationwide.
[00:54:39]  I feel good about where we are.
[00:54:40]  We could potentially pick up a seat, we could potentially lose two, but I feel good about maintaining the majority.
[00:54:45]  The House is a little bit of a different story.
[00:54:48]  I do think that where the national media misleads people is by acting somehow like, well, it normally rains on Tuesday, so it will rain next Tuesday.
[00:54:55]  And like, you don't look at midterm elections that way.
[00:54:58]  You go district by district.
[00:54:59]  I think what's happening in the redistricting front will help us tremendously.
[00:55:03]  The money, we're at about $450 million of a financial advantage.
[00:55:07]  And you start going district by district through the 30 races that are probably in play.
[00:55:12]  I don't think it's a foregone conclusion we lose, but that's the short term answer, which is you're right.
[00:55:17]  If we don't keep a Republican majority, it makes it much more difficult.
[00:55:20]  Number two, we need to codify the things that are really important in law.
[00:55:24]  The big, beautiful bill did a bunch of those things, both in terms of tax policy and immigration.
[00:55:29]  But you're right.
[00:55:30]  If they don't prioritize what they need to codify in law, that could potentially undermine a lot of the wins.
[00:55:36]  But the third thing that Trump has done, and we saw this particularly with the border, Glenn, is Biden said, well, I can't secure the border.
[00:55:43]  I just can't do it without legislation.
[00:55:45]  Trump proved that that wasn't the case.
[00:55:48]  And I think, and he also exposed a lot of the sort of the woke policies.
[00:55:52]  So why I think that's important is codifying things in law has got to be the number one thing to make sure that they just can't be undone while we have a Republican majority.
[00:56:01]  But number two is by exposing these things, You somehow do undermine the argument.
[00:56:06]  A future president on the Democratic side could potentially open the border again, but they'd have a much harder time explaining that that wasn't what they were really doing, right?
[00:56:17]  So, Joe Biden, we all knew the real motive of what he was doing, but he was able to couch it to say, I just, my hands are tied.
[00:56:23]  I can't do it without legislation.
[00:56:26]  Trump proved that that's not true.
[00:56:27]  So, it doesn't mean they can't do it.
[00:56:29]  It makes it a little bit harder publicly to pull that off.
[00:56:32]  But I think the other big thing, and you'll appreciate this, As I think culturally, in Trump 1.0, Trump allowed a little to just go aside.
[00:56:42]  So, for example, he never visited the Kennedy Center, didn't visit it in the whole four years he was in office.
[00:56:49]  This time, he's renamed it.
[00:56:52]  He literally moderated the trend.
[00:56:54]  I mean, he was like, LL Cool J is up for the next, you know, it's like Stevie Nicks and Earthway, you know, and Fleetwood Mac.
[00:57:01]  Like, he's out there on CBS.
[00:57:04]  So, he addressed culture in a way in higher education, things like that.
[00:57:08]  In a way that he didn't in Trump 1.0.
[00:57:10]  So, I think that there are things that have been done that are going to be harder for any future Democrat to try to do.
[00:57:18]  But I'm with you that the more that the Republicans can say, these are the five things that we got to lock in, the better.
[00:57:26]  So, let me ask you, Sean.
[00:57:27]  You, I mean, you're a naval guy.
[00:57:30]  With what's happening, I'm going to lay out a case on the guy's changing the world with choke points.
[00:57:36]  That's what he's doing.
[00:57:37]  He's changing the world with choke points.
[00:57:40]  And nobody really understands that yet, and they need to understand that.
[00:57:43]  President Kennedy.
[00:57:44]  You know, should get somebody out to really kind of make this point.
[00:57:49]  But with what happened yesterday, this thing is so, I mean, we are the people that love to snatch victory, you know, right out of the jaws of victory.
[00:58:04]  What happened yesterday?
[00:58:05]  What does it mean?
[00:58:07]  Where do we stand in this?
[00:58:08]  And what does it mean to the president?
[00:58:11]  Yeah, so first, let me just say that any views that I express are mine and mine alone, not those of the Department of War or the Department of Navy.
[00:58:18]  That being said, I don't think any actions that the president can take, like, he has to go use military strength again.
[00:58:25]  They will only respect bombing.
[00:58:27]  They showed yesterday that they're willing to play games with the fast boats and the drones.
[00:58:31]  They're not looking to capitulate right now.
[00:58:33]  The only thing that they respect is strength.
[00:58:36]  The president needs to go back and bomb them into oblivion.
[00:58:38]  And I know some people don't like hearing that, but that's the reality.
[00:58:42]  These guys are not going to back down.
[00:58:44]  And the problem, Glenn, is fundamentally that we've now put ourselves in this situation.
[00:58:48]  That if we stop short of that, they will feel emboldened.
[00:58:52]  These are the same guys who chanted death to America.
[00:58:55]  So you can't let them off the hook.
[00:58:56]  And they will not capitulate economically.
[00:58:59]  The acids cost them about $5 billion a year.
[00:59:01]  But they know, see, here's the kicker it's the insurers that are the key.
[00:59:06]  So you've got the Navy can escort folks.
[00:59:08]  We did it in the 1980s.
[00:59:10]  But the shippers not only have to be willing to sail through the strait, but the insurers have to be willing to tell the shippers that, yes, we will insure your ship, we'll insure your crew, and we will insure the cargo.
[00:59:23]  And as long as the fast boats, these little PT like boats, they're inflatables, there's drones, as long as those guys can go, I mean, one rocket propelled grenade can do a lot of damage to a hull, to cargo, could take out crew.
[00:59:38]  And the insurers are not going to let those ships sail through the strait unless they feel as though it's safe, right?
[00:59:45]  So the bigger problem isn't just offering the support of the U.S. Navy to get them through, but the insurers need to have a level of comfort.
[00:59:53]  That they believe that the escalation has gone so far down that they're actually going to be able to transit safely.
[00:59:59]  I don't see that happening until the Iranians are bombed into capitulation.

=== Rapid Radios Lifesaver Gear (02:08) ===

[01:00:05]  Sean, I really appreciate it.
[01:00:07]  I really appreciate your point of view, and I think you are right.
[01:00:10]  The book is Trump 2.0.
[01:00:14]  Really worth the read to get an understanding of who he is, how this whole thing came together, and what he's doing.
[01:00:22]  Too many people are just seeing this as random.
[01:00:23]  It's not random.
[01:00:25]  And Sean lays it out.
[01:00:27]  Sean, thank you so much.
[01:00:28]  Appreciate it.
[01:00:29]  Appreciate it, sir.
[01:00:30]  Thanks for my time.
[01:00:30]  Talk to you.
[01:00:31]  Bye.
[01:00:31]  You bet.
[01:00:33]  You can follow him.
[01:00:34]  The book is Trump 2.0, and you can follow him online at I think it's seonspicer.com, is his website, and Twitter X is Sean Spicer.
[01:00:45]  Okay.
[01:00:46]  Let me tell you about rapid radios.
[01:00:47]  When communication fails, everything else starts to follow it.
[01:00:50]  Projects slow down, mistakes stack up, small problems turn into big ones really fast, and that's why so many professionals.
[01:00:56]  You know, they rely on rapid radios.

[01:02:14]  Communication redefined.
[01:02:15]  10 seconds.
[01:02:16]  Station ID.
[01:02:30]  So, I'm going to England next week.
[01:02:33]  I'm going to be in England for the Tommy Robinson, just covering it.
[01:02:39]  I am speaking.
[01:02:40]  Am I speaking at it?
[01:02:41]  Do you know?
[01:02:43]  You have five minutes allotted.
[01:02:45]  Okay.
[01:02:46]  And I mean, it's kind of up to your security team if you're speaking, right?
[01:02:52]  Yes.
[01:02:53]  We're talking to the embassy today.
[01:02:54]  Yes, I know.
[01:02:55]  I know.
[01:02:56]  There are some carriers.
[01:02:58]  England is on, she knows.
[01:03:00]  England is on the highest alert it has been on.
[01:03:03]  And so it is a little dicey.
[01:03:06]  But, you know, it's worth standing up and saying, unite.
[01:03:11]  You know, we've got to stop this Sharia law nonsense.
[01:03:13]  It has to stop.
[01:03:15]  Let me show something.
[01:03:16]  This is, I don't know when this was from, but I think it's from England.
[01:03:20]  It is Muslim women leaving.
[01:03:22]  This is cut eight, please.
[01:03:25]  This is women leaving this store being caught because they're taking all this stuff.
[01:03:33]  Out with him, go ahead and play.
[01:03:33]  Who takes it out first?
[01:03:34]  Hey, this way, this way.
[01:03:37]  You're gonna take out, so, listen, turn to me.
[01:03:40]  Now, look, yeah, take out, take out.
[01:03:42]  Manos, and in her birthday, watch what she does.
[01:03:45]  Watch what she does.
[01:03:46]  In her birthday, she starts taking things out that she had stolen from this store.
[01:03:50]  Stand up, stand up, stand up.
[01:03:53]  And I mean, yeah, watch what she's taken.
[01:03:58]  Like, yeah, I know, like, that's a huge deal of like detergent and everything.
[01:04:02]  Look at all this stuff.
[01:04:04]  All in her burqa.
[01:04:05]  And all these other women with her are all the same.
[01:04:07]  Look at all of that stuff.
[01:04:09]  Have you ever seen anything like that?
[01:04:12]  Technically, that's a hijab.
[01:04:14]  Yeah, but that dress is impressive.
[01:04:18]  That is impressive.
[01:04:18]  And you know, I've seen it before in a movie.
[01:04:20]  May I play the movie clip, please?
[01:04:21]  Cut nine.
[01:04:23]  I've seen this exact scenario before.
[01:04:26]  It's Mary Poppins with her bag.
[01:04:32]  And she comes in, she's just pulled out a mirror.
[01:04:34]  Even coffee bags.
[01:04:35]  I'm sure I never did.
[01:04:36]  Right.
[01:04:38]  And she's got a lamp in there.
[01:04:40]  She's got a little bit of everything in that.
[01:04:42]  Watch this.
[01:04:43]  See her beauty is a joy forever.
[01:04:46]  Right.
[01:04:46]  She's got a plant.
[01:04:47]  That's why I'm watching this woman with all the stuff in her.
[01:04:52]  It's like Muslim magic.
[01:04:54]  She's the Muslim Mary Poppins.
[01:04:56]  That's what happened there.
[01:04:57]  Anyway, stop.
[01:04:58]  Honestly, Jerry, you don't need that.
[01:05:02]  I know.
[01:05:02]  I mean, that's crazy.
[01:05:04]  Look, she's got a lamp in there.
[01:05:05]  She's got a lamp in there.
[01:05:07]  I would not have been surprised if that woman would have pulled out a plant and a lamp.
[01:05:12]  Oh my gosh.
[01:05:13]  Oh my gosh.
[01:05:15]  Okay, so that's happening next week.
[01:05:17]  I would ask that you would pray for us and our team as we make decisions and as we are going over next week, that we just are guided by the Spirit and have extra spiritual eyes to see anything that might be going on.
[01:05:32]  I am going to be rooting.
[01:05:33]  I've seen the speech.
[01:05:35]  Actually, really super inspiring.
[01:05:38]  And I am going to be rooting from you from the plane on American Island on the route back to.
[01:05:43]  I wrote it and now I've lost it.
[01:05:44]  You did?
[01:05:45]  Please tell me you have it.
[01:05:46]  I have it.
[01:05:47]  I don't even remember where I was when I wrote it, but I wrote it for you.
[01:05:50]  It's the story of Glenn's life.
[01:05:50]  I know.
[01:05:51]  Ask him how many iPads he's lost, y'all.
[01:05:54]  Don't ask.
[01:05:57]  I got a phone and I'm like, I'm never going to lose this phone.
[01:06:00]  I have no idea where that phone is.
[01:06:02]  Absolutely no idea where that phone is.
[01:06:04]  It's just, they're too small and iPads are too big.
[01:06:10]  You know what?
[01:06:11]  I should just get a chip in my head so I never have to worry about it.
[01:06:15]  Wouldn't that be great that you do?
[01:06:16]  Yeah.
[01:06:17]  All right.
[01:06:18]  Back with more in just a second.
[01:06:20]  Let me tell you about relief factor.
[01:06:22]  See if this sounds familiar.
[01:06:23]  You're going about your day, you know, just trying to do the things you normally do.
[01:06:26]  And then all of a sudden it hits you.
[01:06:27]  Ow.
[01:06:27]  And you didn't have that pain before.
[01:06:31]  Somewhere along the line, it just kind of came in, settled in your body, and then never left, never went away.
[01:06:35]  And you're like, okay, well, that's going to live with me now for the rest of my life.
[01:06:38]  I've been through it.
[01:06:39]  You've probably been through it.
[01:06:40]  I used to have pain so horrible in my hands.
[01:06:43]  I couldn't say this for a long time because now it's over and I can.
[01:06:49]  The most emasculating thing, is that right?
[01:06:54]  Emasculating thing that I ever had to do was wake my wife up every morning to ask her to tie my shoes and button my shirt.
[01:07:01]  Because I couldn't use my hands and it was horrific.
[01:07:05]  Horrific.
[01:07:06]  I couldn't, it was horrible.
[01:07:09]  Relief Factor made that go away for me and I am forever grateful and I take it every single day.
[01:07:15]  It doesn't work for everybody, but it worked for me.
[01:07:18]  Please give it a try.
[01:07:19]  You got nothing to lose.
[01:07:20]  Okay, you got 20 bucks to lose, $19.95 if it doesn't work.
[01:07:23]  Try it for three weeks.
[01:07:24]  If it works, it'll change your life.
[01:07:26]  Did mine.
[01:07:27]  ReliefFactor.com, 800 for relief.
[01:07:29]  800, the number for relief.
[01:07:31]  It's relieffactor.com.
[01:07:34]  The incredible true story of how a 22 year old started a war between Britain and France.

[01:07:38]  Episode 4 of the American Story is out now.
[01:07:40]  Grab it wherever you get your podcast, ad free at glenbeck.com.
[01:07:59]  So I'm going to tell you what happened in the Gulf yesterday with the war.
[01:08:04]  And, you know, it's not great news, but we got to deal with it.
[01:08:08]  And I'll talk to you about it here coming up in just a second.
[01:08:11]  But before I get to that, if you want to, if you, look, if you want the small stuff, you watch cable news.
[01:08:18]  Okay.
[01:08:19]  They'll tell you all about the tweets and the tariffs and the latest polls and everything else.
[01:08:23]  And that's fine.
[01:08:24]  But if you really want to understand what's happening with Donald Trump, you have to zoom out.
[01:08:30]  Zoom out.
[01:08:30]  So far, in the that you see the globe like a chessboard, uh, and the oceans like the arteries that they are, because we are so used to small vision politicians that only talk about we're going to own the libs or win the next election.
[01:08:48]  But unlike the progressive left, which honestly has a vision so huge that you not only most people cannot even see it you know, the collapse of the West into a great reset but they don't want you to see it with Trump, it is.
[01:09:05]  A vision as big as what the left has done over the last 100 years, but it is imperative that you see it because it is at this moment the only actual plan to defeat those who wish to cut America down to size.
[01:09:23]  Okay.
[01:09:24]  So I want you to look at what he has done and look at it not as random chaos because that's the opinion you get everywhere else.
[01:09:31]  I ask you to look at this differently.
[01:09:33]  It's not random chaos, these are choke points.
[01:09:38]  There is a handful of narrow sea lanes and canals and islands and resource triangles that control the flow of energy and trade and the minerals that are going to power this next century.
[01:09:51]  And you can love Trump, you can hate Trump.
[01:09:55]  It doesn't matter.
[01:09:57]  But Trump is the first president in decades who seems to get that America doesn't win by being nice on the world stage and giving everybody some of our stuff.
[01:10:08]  America wins by making sure that the world has to come to us for things it cannot live without.
[01:10:15]  So, I want you to imagine the world map here with clear eyes.
[01:10:19]  Right now, everybody's talking about the Strait of Hormuz.
[01:10:22]  20% of the planet's oil passes through that narrow throat every single day.
[01:10:27]  20%.
[01:10:28]  That means Iran can threaten to close it.
[01:10:33]  If it's a nuclear Iran, they do close it, they completely control it, and they can charge whatever they want.
[01:10:40]  And no one can do anything because they have nuclear weapons.
[01:10:42]  And also, China can muscle in.
[01:10:45]  So, Trump's answer has been energy dominance at home and leverage abroad.
[01:10:52]  Flood the market with American oil and gas so no one cartel, i.e., OPEC, or rogue state, i.e., Venezuela or Iran, can hold a gun to the world's head.
[01:11:06]  Then make sure that our allies know the difference between talking tough and actually being tough.
[01:11:14]  So, you have the Strait of Hormuz.
[01:11:15]  Then the other choke point is the Strait of Malacca.
[01:11:19]  This is like the jugular of Asia.
[01:11:22]  80% of China's oil, most of Japan's, South Korea's, all of it funnels through that Strait.
[01:11:29]  Whoever influences that Strait influences the factory floor of the planet.
[01:11:35]  And Trump is not blind to it.
[01:11:36]  And nobody really has even brought this up.
[01:11:39]  I mean, it was like a one day story.
[01:11:41]  He's used tariffs, naval presence, and everything else.
[01:11:45]  Straight talk.
[01:11:46]  With Beijing to make sure that they understand that the Pacific is in their private lake.
[01:11:53]  He just made a deal a couple of weeks ago with Indonesia that gives us a major role in that choke point.
[01:12:00]  So that's choke point number two.
[01:12:02]  80% of China's oil comes through that choke point.
[01:12:06]  Another probably 20% of their oil comes from the Strait of Hormuz, and we're now in both of them.
[01:12:13]  Next, the Strait of Gibraltar.
[01:12:16]  You come around, you got some oil, now you go through the Mediterranean and you come out into the Atlantic Ocean.
[01:12:23]  That is the entrance to the Mediterranean.
[01:12:27]  The next one, the other choke point, is the Panama Canal.
[01:12:31]  By the way, we just did a deal on the Strait of Malacca and we did another one with Morocco on the Strait of Gibraltar.
[01:12:40]  So notice we have the Strait of Ramuz, or we're getting it.
[01:12:44]  Malacca, that's done.
[01:12:45]  Panama Canal and Morocco with the Strait of Gibraltar.
[01:12:49]  So, so far, we got a lot of choke points that we didn't have before.
[01:12:54]  Then Greenland.
[01:12:58]  This one we tried to buy outright because he sees what the Pentagon sees.
[01:13:02]  The Arctic ice is melting, new shipping lanes.
[01:13:06]  The shipping lanes are opening.
[01:13:08]  Whoever plants the flag there first controls the roof of the world.
[01:13:13]  The Northwest Passage and the Northern Sea Route.
[01:13:17]  They're not theory anymore, they're tomorrow's Suez and Panama.
[01:13:21]  Trump wants America sitting on that high ground, not begging for permission from Denmark or Russia.
[01:13:28]  Then there's the resource map that most people still haven't even looked at.
[01:13:32]  It's called the lithium triangle.
[01:13:34]  Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile are sitting on more than half of the planet's known lithium.
[01:13:43]  Why would we want to have that?
[01:13:47]  I don't know.
[01:13:48]  Electric vehicles, batteries, the whole green tech fantasy runs on lithium.
[01:13:54]  Venezuela is the largest proven oil reserve on Earth, currently run by a regime that hates us.
[01:14:01]  Not anymore.
[01:14:02]  And if the rest of the world keeps chasing net zero fantasies and shuts down their own drilling rigs and mines while China corners the rare earth processing, who do they call when their lights start to flicker?
[01:14:15]  They need the lithium in that triangle, which we now have a presence in.
[01:14:20]  We've just kicked China out of that because of the Panama Canal and Venezuela.
[01:14:26]  If that doesn't work with lithium, they got to have oil.
[01:14:30]  They call the country that quietly secured the lithium, the oil, the shipping lanes, and the Arctic routes.
[01:14:37]  Don't you see that's what he's doing?
[01:14:41]  We're not used to seeing a vision like this.
[01:14:45]  It has honestly been, well, it's been since Kennedy with a vision this big, but Reagan had a big vision, but it was simple to understand.
[01:14:53]  We're going to collapse the Soviet Union, that wall is coming down.
[01:14:56]  And so it was really easy.
[01:14:58]  This one, I don't think the president could say all of these things.
[01:15:03]  Now everybody knows, all the players know, and so he probably could get away with it now.
[01:15:07]  But you didn't want to reveal your hand on what he's doing.
[01:15:10]  And so he made it look like it was chaos.
[01:15:12]  Wait, he's talking about Panama.
[01:15:13]  Now he's in Greenland.
[01:15:14]  Now, what is it?
[01:15:15]  Strait of Gibraltar?
[01:15:17]  What is he doing?
[01:15:18]  Now they all know.
[01:15:19]  But you need to know because this is the biggest play I've ever seen.
[01:15:26]  It's not drill, baby, drill as a slogan.
[01:15:30]  This is a grand strategy.
[01:15:33]  Europe and Asia are virtue signaling their way into energy poverty.
[01:15:39]  As they continue to do that, America becomes the indispensable supplier again.
[01:15:44]  We'll control the spigots, the straits, the canals, the minerals.
[01:15:49]  We set the price.
[01:15:50]  We set the terms.
[01:15:51]  You want to talk about America first?
[01:15:53]  This is America first.
[01:15:55]  This keeps the dollar working.
[01:15:58]  If you lose the dollar, you are Venezuela overnight.
[01:16:03]  We will in America.
[01:16:04]  And I know nobody understands this or wants to believe it, but if we let the Marxists do to us what they did to Venezuela, we too will be eating our zoo animals.
[01:16:16]  That's the way it happens.
[01:16:17]  You collapse the American currency, and this game is over.
[01:16:21]  Over.
[01:16:23]  You think you have problems now?
[01:16:25]  Wait until that happens.
[01:16:26]  This is the only plan that I have seen, you know, that is actually looking to the next hundred years and going, okay, what is it going to take?
[01:16:36]  World's most powerful Navy, best energy technology, best energy, best AI, best strategy.
[01:16:45]  No one can take that away easily.
[01:16:49]  So why should you care?
[01:16:51]  Why do you need to explain this to your friends?
[01:16:54]  The choke points you need to explain this to your friends because American workers, real ones, not coastal consultants, not banking guys, they get the jobs building the LNG terminals, the drilling rigs, the battery plants, the ice class tankers.
[01:17:15]  It means lower energy eventually at home, lower energy prices that ripples through every factory, every farm, every household.
[01:17:23]  It means the dollar stays the king.
[01:17:25]  Because all the commodities are priced in it and the supply chains run through the choke points that we have or influence.
[01:17:34]  It means China or anybody else that wants to play games, okay, go ahead.
[01:17:39]  We'll just turn the valve enough to remind you what actually keeps the modern world running.
[01:17:44]  Don't you see we hold all of the cards?
[01:17:48]  If the rest of the planet actually does what the climate crowd dreams, they stop exploring for oil, they stop mining rare earth minerals, they shut down their nuclear, they pray to the windmill gods.
[01:18:01]  Then our leverage is absolute.
[01:18:05]  They will need to have that.
[01:18:07]  There's no way around it.
[01:18:10]  And the reason why nobody's talking about this is because A, it doesn't fit the narrative of the left, and B, it's not normal president thinking.
[01:18:17]  Normal presidents manage decline.
[01:18:19]  That's what we're used to.
[01:18:20]  They sign climate accords, they hobble us, they leave choke points to whoever wants to play hardball.
[01:18:27]  Trump doesn't manage decline.
[01:18:30]  He looks at the map, he sees.
[01:18:31]  The narrow places that matter.
[01:18:34]  He says those belong in the American sphere of influence, one way or another, through deals or alliances or strength, whatever it takes.
[01:18:44]  Like him or not, forget about his personality.
[01:18:47]  This is what he's doing.
[01:18:49]  This is why this is America first.
[01:18:52]  This is the kind of thinking that built empires, built America in the first century.
[01:18:59]  You control the arteries and you control the future.
[01:19:03]  If somebody, how long do you think you're going to live if your arteries are all blocked?
[01:19:08]  The world's blood is oil, it's energy, it's technology, it's rare earth minerals.
[01:19:14]  If somebody else can block those arteries on us, we die.
[01:19:19]  If we're the ones keeping the arteries open or able to block them for our enemies, what happens to our enemies?
[01:19:29]  We don't want to beg for a seat at anyone else's table.
[01:19:33]  With this strategy, you own the table.
[01:19:37]  That is the plan.
[01:19:38]  And it's not perfect.
[01:19:40]  It's not without huge risk, but it is historic in scale.
[01:19:44]  I don't understand why people can't see this.
[01:19:49]  If it works, and the early moves suggest it's already in motion.
[01:19:54]  I mean, we have this Iran thing is worrisome, very worrisome.
[01:20:00]  But America, if it works, doesn't just stay number one.
[01:20:03]  We enter new golden eras on our terms, and the rest of the world can either get on board or learn to live without us and our military and the oil and the lithium and the shipping lanes that they've all taken for granted.
[01:20:18]  Under this new way of thinking, America is not going to be taken for granted anymore.
[01:20:25]  But this is all up to you.
[01:20:26]  If you don't share this with your friends, if you can't explain the choke points, if you can't look at a map and say, I want you to look at, listen to me, family, I want you to look at a map.
[01:20:36]  I don't care what you think about him.
[01:20:38]  Is America in trouble?
[01:20:40]  Is the old system working the way we've done it?
[01:20:43]  Do you want to manage the decline and lose the American dollar and our way of life?
[01:20:49]  Okay, we all can agree on that.
[01:20:51]  No?
[01:20:52]  Great.
[01:20:52]  Then let me show you what he's doing.
[01:20:56]  You have to explain this to your friends because it's your move now.
[01:21:00]  With the election coming up, all of this will end.
[01:21:06]  You'll be back managing decline.
[01:21:09]  So if your choice really is America, then you have to first think bigger and understand just this one concept today because there are so many levels to this.
[01:21:22]  This we should just put out in a.
[01:21:23]  In a series of videos and put it on the torch, Ricky.
[01:21:27]  I'll just do chalkboard videos on this.
[01:21:29]  But if you can just understand just the choke points, this part today, and show that you can think bigger, maybe you can convince your friends to also think bigger.
[01:21:41]  We have to stop thinking about just the next election or just the latest Twitter outrage or what's right in front of you.
[01:21:49]  You need to see, oh my gosh, there is actually.
[01:21:54]  He's changing the entire structure of the world that was established in 1945 and that was good for a while and now screwing us.
[01:22:03]  He's changing all of it.
[01:22:05]  And it's happening in real time.
[01:22:06]  And this election, it's up to you.
[01:22:11]  Can we think bigger, America?
[01:22:14]  Can we still do that?
[01:22:16]  More in just a minute.
[01:22:20]  The humanitarian crisis in Israel continues to this day.
[01:22:23]  There are so many Jewish people, spiritual brothers and sisters of us Christians, who are.
[01:22:28]  Who are feeling a deep need right now?
[01:22:30]  They feel very, very alone.
[01:22:32]  And in so many ways, thankfully, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is still there, still on the ground, still doing God's work and helping out any and every way they possibly can.
[01:22:42]  But they can only do that because of support from people like you and me.
[01:22:47]  I know I support the Jewish people.
[01:22:50]  It does not go to a blanket check and a blank check for Benjamin Netanyahu, the wars, or the way they run Israel or anything else.
[01:22:58]  I'm talking about the Jewish people.
[01:23:00]  They have a right to live.
[01:23:03]  And they're very alone.
[01:23:05]  Your gift today will provide critically needed aid to communities in the North and the South that's been devastated by the war.
[01:23:11]  A generous donation will help deliver to those in need, including evacuees, refugees from the war-torn areas, first responders, volunteers, wounded soldiers, elderly Holocaust survivors that are still there.
[01:23:22]  Can you imagine feeling this hatred coming back again?
[01:23:26]  During a time of great uncertainty, your gift to God's people is hope-giving and life-saving.

[01:23:53]  Glenn Beck will be back after this.
[01:24:15]  I think we have Nick Shirley on with us next.
[01:24:18]  I want to read his tweet that he just tweeted out.
[01:24:20]  I think it was yesterday.
[01:24:22]  Quote I was almost taken hostage in Cuba.
[01:24:25]  I went to Cuba to document the humanitarian crisis and to show life under 60 plus years of communism and now amid the U.S. blockade.
[01:24:34]  Once I landed, they seized all my cameras except for my iPhone and had the intelligence agencies following me all day until my security noticed their spies tailing us to the hotel where they all waited all night for us to come down.
[01:24:49]  Under communism, there is no free speech, and those who show reality or speak up are imprisoned.
[01:24:55]  I have so much more to say, but I can't say it right now.
[01:24:58]  Give me another 24 hours.
[01:24:59]  Well, it's been 24 hours.
[01:25:01]  Nick Shirley, I hope, will be joining us next.
[01:25:03]  He's talking to his mother right now, whether he can come on.
[01:25:07]  We hope to talk to him next.
[01:25:08]  Stand by.
[01:25:11]  The last few years have taught me something that I don't think enough people want to admit.
[01:25:15]  The system we count on every single day in this country.
[01:25:19]  Isn't as sturdy as it looks.
[01:25:20]  All it takes is a little trouble in the wrong part of the world and shipping bottleneck, a shortage of one key ingredient, major disruption overseas, and everything changes.
[01:25:28]  And it's getting harder and harder to find the things that you need.
[01:25:31]  And when it comes to medication, that's not an inconvenience, that's personal.
[01:25:35]  That's why I like Jace Medical.
[01:25:37]  They give you a way to prepare now instead of panicking later.
[01:25:40]  The Jace case provides prescription antibiotics and emergency medications for a range of situations.
[01:25:46]  And Jace Daily can help you get your backup supply of all your regular prescriptions.
[01:25:50]  For up to 12 months.
[01:25:52]  To me, that's peace of mind.

=== Nick Shirley Cuba Hostage Story (15:12) ===

[01:27:09]  Hello, America.
[01:27:10]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[01:27:11]  We were going to have Nick Shirley on with us because he almost was thrown in jail, according to his tweet, in Cuba.
[01:27:22]  And he said, I've got a lot to share in 24 hours.
[01:27:27]  Well, it's been 24 hours.
[01:27:28]  He was going to be on the program.
[01:27:29]  Hopefully, he'll be on with us tomorrow.
[01:27:31]  I think his mom said, No, Nick, no.
[01:27:35]  Not yet.
[01:27:35]  I think mom's concerned.
[01:27:37]  Moms and wives.
[01:27:38]  Listen to your moms and your wives, gentlemen.
[01:27:42]  But we'll see if he comes on with us tomorrow because I think he has some fascinating things to share about what's really going on in Cuba.
[01:27:51]  And we're starting to double down on Cuba.
[01:27:53]  It's fascinating to watch.
[01:27:55]  Also, yesterday, Iran struck the UAE.
[01:27:59]  They broke the peace treaty and they hit an oil facility in the UAE.
[01:28:06]  And why they hit it is really important.
[01:28:08]  Important and what this means, and what we have to do, and why we have to do it.
[01:28:13]  Coming up here in just a second.
[01:28:15]  First, let me tell you about the burn a launcher.
[01:28:16]  Most people spend a lot of time thinking about what they would do in a bad situation, but no time thinking about what they should do because those aren't always the same thing.
[01:28:24]  In real life, most situations don't call for the most extreme response.
[01:28:28]  Calling, you know, it calls usually for something measured, something that gives you control, buys you time, and creates distance without changing everything in an instant.
[01:28:36]  That's where the burn a launcher fits.
[01:28:38]  It gives you a way to protect yourself with non lethal.
[01:28:40]  Kinetic and chemical rounds that can stop a threat from a distance up to 60 feet without any kind of consequences coming from that firearm.
[01:28:48]  And when you look at the numbers, it makes sense less than 0.1 percent, I'm sorry, 0.01 percent of all altercations ever require a lethal response, which means most situations fall into the space that the Bernal launcher, that tool, is made for.
[01:29:05]  Okay, it's legal in all 50 states, doesn't require a permit, it's simple enough to use.
[01:29:10]  Anyone can use it.
[01:29:11]  Over 18, you don't need anything, bring it with you.
[01:29:14]  Burna is now offering $100 off the Burna LE.
[01:29:17]  That's the Generation 2.
[01:29:19]  Visit burna.com.
[01:29:20]  Secure yours while supplies last at burna.com.
[01:29:24]  Okay, so yesterday, Iran launched a small but directed missile and drone attack on the UAE.
[01:29:38]  They targeted civilian and energy sites.
[01:29:42]  Now, this is a key oil port and storage hub.
[01:29:46]  This is the one place where.
[01:29:49]  All of the pipelines run to.
[01:29:51]  They either go to the strait of Hormuz or they run here and it lets oil bypass the strait of Hormuz.
[01:29:58]  So this is critical.
[01:30:00]  If you get rid of this and the strait Of Hormuz, we're in real trouble.
[01:30:04]  So a drone uh, several drones went out, knocked a lot of them out.
[01:30:10]  One drone started a fire at this oil facility and the Uae stopped most of the attack.
[01:30:17]  Three Indian workers were hurt.
[01:30:20]  The UAE immediately responded.
[01:30:23]  They said, This is a dangerous escalation, treacherous attack on civilians, and we are going to respond.
[01:30:29]  Okay.
[01:30:32]  Iran was very upset.
[01:30:33]  Now, they say they did this because Iran is very upset at President Trump and Project Freedom, the naval operation that's going to reopen the strait.
[01:30:46]  And so they were very upset.
[01:30:47]  And so they decided to go out, not after America, but after that particular.
[01:30:52]  Site in the UAE.
[01:30:56]  When they did that, there was another split.
[01:30:59]  Now, this tells me that the Twelvers are still in charge of the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.
[01:31:08]  The Twelvers are still in charge because it was the president or their prime minister or whatever they have over there.
[01:31:13]  They immediately responded.
[01:31:14]  They were furious that the IRGC would fire this.
[01:31:19]  This is the first major break in the ceasefire.
[01:31:22]  And it happened right after our ships entered the Gulf.
[01:31:25]  So it's an escalation.
[01:31:27]  The risk of everything slipping.
[01:31:29]  Into a bigger war is higher now, but it is not inevitable.
[01:31:33]  Nobody wants it except for Iran.
[01:31:37]  Everybody wants an end.
[01:31:39]  I shouldn't even say Iran.
[01:31:40]  The IRGC wants it.
[01:31:42]  Okay.
[01:31:43]  Iran is desperate right now.
[01:31:45]  The blockade is crushing their economy.
[01:31:47]  Their wells are filling up.
[01:31:49]  There's no place to go.
[01:31:50]  They're going to have to shut these down.
[01:31:52]  I'm going to try to check with some experts today and find out why we keep saying it's just a couple of days away.
[01:31:57]  Those couple of days have come and gone several times.
[01:32:00]  Where do we stand on that?
[01:32:01]  The danger here is.
[01:32:03]  Remember, I said to you, world wars and major wars never start on purpose.
[01:32:10]  It is always one side or the other making a major miscalculation.
[01:32:17]  And let's just pray that nobody miscalculates, okay?
[01:32:23]  But you can't take, you can't go back to what we were doing that failed for 47 years.
[01:32:29]  Because yesterday's attack shows one thing the radicals.
[01:32:34]  They're not going to restrain themselves.
[01:32:37]  This actually should be a wake up call.
[01:32:42]  And it also should see the West and everybody else in the Middle East should see, okay, we have the high ground here.
[01:32:49]  Now, there's a clear path to stability and peace, but it has to be done through strength.
[01:32:54]  No ground wars, none of that.
[01:32:58]  But if you want cheap, reliable energy and a weaker regime that stops funding terrorists and are chasing nukes, then we have to.
[01:33:09]  Have measured retaliation.
[01:33:11]  I don't know why we are not still hammering the IRGC launch sites.
[01:33:16]  Maybe they say we've hit them all, but obviously we haven't.
[01:33:19]  We have to take out more of their command centers and the factories that are behind yesterday's attack, you know, and we have it because we have all the carriers in the area.
[01:33:30]  We need to publicly warn any more UAE hits, anything on Saudi, anything US targets will get exactly the same response.
[01:33:40]  We have to sink the rest of their little boats.
[01:33:44]  But these are like little inflatable boats.
[01:33:48]  This is not invasion.
[01:33:49]  It's just a red line that we need to enforce.
[01:33:51]  So we're not paying $7 a gallon for gasoline.
[01:33:55]  And if they would burn down that oil field or that oil refinery and port, you're looking probably at more than $7 a gallon of gasoline.
[01:34:07]  The economic pressure is hurting them.
[01:34:12]  I mean, that is really what this is at this point, just, you know.
[01:34:18]  Economic pressure, but we have to sanction any country, especially China.
[01:34:21]  That if you're buying Iranian oil, if you get oil out of there and you're taking it and you're buying it, we sanction you with crippling sanctions.
[01:34:29]  The whole world should be behind this right now.
[01:34:31]  Everybody is seeing, do you want Iran that just fired on the UAE?
[01:34:36]  You should be firing at us.
[01:34:38]  I mean, if you're fighting this in reality, you should be fighting this, you know, you should have launched against the United States, but you didn't.
[01:34:46]  You went after an oil field.
[01:34:47]  You want the world to burn.
[01:34:50]  That's the problem.
[01:34:52]  So, we should be looking at this.
[01:34:54]  The whole world should be looking at this and saying, okay, so I don't want anything to do with that.
[01:35:01]  You cut them off from their money, it breaks them faster than bombs.
[01:35:06]  We have to make Project Freedom unstoppable.
[01:35:09]  Every ship goes through that strait, overwhelming Navy force.
[01:35:14]  You have a little rubber boat, we shoot you out of the water immediately.
[01:35:19]  And we make it permanent until Iran guarantees safe passage and Iran collapses.
[01:35:24]  Meanwhile, boost U.S. oil.
[01:35:27]  And LNG exports, so the world doesn't need Tehran, and they get honestly kind of hooked on getting it from us.
[01:35:37]  The UAE, Saudi Arabia, if they need weapons to defend themselves and intel to defend themselves, we should get it to them.
[01:35:46]  This is their neighborhood, not ours, but no boots on Iranian soil, no American boots.
[01:35:52]  Okay.
[01:35:54]  And the off ramp is just strength.
[01:35:57]  That's it.
[01:35:57]  Tell Iran.
[01:35:58]  Reopen the straight.
[01:36:00]  We've already done this.
[01:36:01]  Stop proxy attacks.
[01:36:02]  We've already done that.
[01:36:03]  Verify and end your nuclear and missile programs, and we'll ease the sanctions.
[01:36:09]  But it's time to end this regime.
[01:36:12]  It is.
[01:36:12]  No more weak deals.
[01:36:14]  We've got to end this.
[01:36:16]  You have to.
[01:36:17]  These are the ways to prevent a bigger war clear red lines, plus real pain to force Iran to choose a deal over collapse.
[01:36:27]  I don't think the IRGC is going to.
[01:36:29]  That's why I think we just need to continue to pummel them.
[01:36:32]  Look, I don't know why.
[01:36:34]  I mean, look, the president nor do you need advice on how to fight this thing because I'm a recovering alcoholic DJ.
[01:36:43]  I can just tell you that I think the world should see now that you do not want to be held hostage by this regime.
[01:36:55]  Why would you hit that?
[01:36:56]  Why would you hit that oil field in the UAE?
[01:36:58]  What did the UAE do to you?
[01:37:00]  That's just showing that they will.
[01:37:02]  They'll destroy the whole world.
[01:37:04]  They'll destroy the whole world.
[01:37:06]  Why the whole world isn't standing up?
[01:37:08]  I mean, the Middle East is, but why the whole world isn't standing up going, okay, all right, enough is enough.
[01:37:15]  They just want global prices to rise, scare everybody, force concessions because we can't handle the price of oil.
[01:37:27]  And maybe we can't.
[01:37:28]  Maybe we can't.
[01:37:30]  Last hour, I just laid something out.
[01:37:34]  On the choke points of the world.
[01:37:35]  First thing has to happen, you have to get rid of the 12 or hardliners, okay?
[01:37:40]  Because those people are doomsday people.
[01:37:44]  You know, they believe wash the world in blood and wash the world in chaos, and then the 12th Imam, the Mahadi, will come back and rule the world.
[01:37:53]  I mean, that's making nice with those guys, that's suicidal and the apocalypse together.
[01:38:02]  It's not good.
[01:38:03]  It's not good.
[01:38:07]  But I just did something and watched the choke points.
[01:38:11]  And I want to make sure that you hear me say this clearly.
[01:38:15]  Let me start here.
[01:38:18]  Ronald Reagan said back in the 80s when he was talking about the debt, he said, We're going to be left at a point, if we don't deal with it, we're going to be left at a point where there are no good options.
[01:38:28]  And every option that we choose will be ugly, be ugly.
[01:38:33]  And nobody will want to do them.
[01:38:35]  Well, we're there now.
[01:38:35]  On the debt, we're there.
[01:38:37]  Tomorrow, I'm going to give you an option that I think is clear as.
[01:38:40]  Clear as a bell.
[01:38:41]  And I think it's where the president is headed.
[01:38:44]  I'm not sure, but it's easy.
[01:38:47]  We don't have to collapse the dollar and we don't have to live with this debt.
[01:38:51]  We can actually convince the banks and the rest of the world, the countries, the central banks, that we're serious about debt because they need us, but they need us to be serious about our debt.
[01:39:02]  So, how do we do that?
[01:39:03]  I'll tell you that tomorrow.
[01:39:06]  But everything that we choose is going to be ugly at this point.
[01:39:11]  And we have let, for 47 years, these guys get bolder and bolder and bolder and put terrorists even in our own homeland, all over Europe, all over the Middle East.
[01:39:22]  They've terrorized everybody.
[01:39:24]  They've, they've, Have a choke point on our oil, and now they're close to nuclear weapons.
[01:39:29]  You can agree or disagree with that, but we do know they were building a long range missile because they used one.
[01:39:35]  They launched it.
[01:39:35]  I don't know if you saw it on mainstream TV, but they launched one.
[01:39:39]  Okay.
[01:39:41]  And so we know that they were actually doing that.
[01:39:46]  This is hurting so much because we let it go for so long.
[01:39:50]  We can't let this go for so long.
[01:39:54]  And there's going to be a lot of people that see the pain of.
[01:39:59]  The gas pump, and that is not something to dismiss.
[01:40:04]  The pain at the gas pump, I don't know how people are affording life right now.
[01:40:09]  I don't, unless you're living on credit cards, and that's horrible.
[01:40:14]  But, you know, gas can only go up to a certain amount before it's like, I can't live anymore.
[01:40:19]  I mean, what am I going to do?
[01:40:24]  But this is the first time in my life, as I outlined in the last monologue, this is the first time in my life I've actually seen a president with a plan.
[01:40:33]  What we have had for almost my entire life, except for Reagan, was somebody who is just shuffling the chairs on the deck of the Titanic.
[01:40:45]  Reagan actually had a plan to defeat the Soviet Union, but that was his big vision.
[01:40:52]  This guy's big vision, Donald Trump's big vision, is how do we save the dollar and the economy for the next generation?
[01:41:01]  How do we revive and resuscitate the American dream for our children?
[01:41:06]  I take you back to what Ronald Reagan said.
[01:41:08]  There won't be any good.
[01:41:09]  Nothing's going to feel good.
[01:41:10]  The country has cancer.
[01:41:12]  We have neglected it so long that cancer is in all of the organs of our body.
[01:41:18]  And what we've done is every president that has come before has been a hospice caretaker.
[01:41:26]  They're just managing the decline.
[01:41:28]  They're moving the chairs on the deck of the Titanic, but nobody's saying, hey, we should stop or turn around because this is going to be dangerous.
[01:41:35]  There's not enough lifeboats.
[01:41:36]  They just make everybody happy.
[01:41:38]  We were in hospice.
[01:41:40]  The country has cancer, and we were in hospice.
[01:41:43]  And it might make you feel good.
[01:41:44]  Well, gas prices are down, and I have a job.
[01:41:47]  But nothing was changing.
[01:41:49]  Still, just over the horizon is massive collapse.
[01:41:55]  What Donald Trump is doing is he is taking all the choke points and he's changing it.
[01:41:59]  And he's changing the system that was built in 1945.
[01:42:04]  And he is now giving the country and the world chemotherapy.
[01:42:10]  We're going to die.
[01:42:12]  He's saying we don't have to, but we're going to have to go through some chemotherapy.
[01:42:16]  What you're feeling at the gas pump right now is chemotherapy, and you cannot dismiss it.

=== Country Has Cancer Diagnosis (03:16) ===

[01:42:22]  I'm not dismissing it.
[01:42:23]  Chemotherapy is ugly.
[01:42:25]  There's vomiting.
[01:42:26]  You pray for death through parts of it, you're like, I can't take it anymore.
[01:42:29]  I don't want it anymore.
[01:42:30]  I'd rather die than have this.
[01:42:32]  But that is an emotional reaction.
[01:42:35]  You actually do want to live, but it's just horrible to go through.
[01:42:42]  Think of the gas prices here as chemotherapy.
[01:42:46]  It's going to be horrible for a while.
[01:42:48]  But if what I think is happening with the choke points around the world, and I laid that out last hour, if that is what is actually happening, then we're going to get through this.
[01:43:00]  It's going to get ugly, but we live on the other side.
[01:43:04]  The American dream is revived for our children on the other side.
[01:43:08]  And that's worth putting up with some pain.
[01:43:11]  I just need the president to come out and explain this to people.
[01:43:15]  You know, if it's right.
[01:43:18]  I need to know.
[01:43:19]  It's right.
[01:43:19]  This is what we're doing.
[01:43:21]  And he should say that to people because the pain is getting excruciating.
[01:43:28]  He needs to say, we're in chemotherapy right now.
[01:43:31]  And I know it's painful, but here's why it matters.
[01:43:35]  We're going to cure the cancer.

[01:43:50]  Do you remember when summer used to feel like a break?
[01:43:53]  I mean, it was when we were kids back in the good old days.
[01:43:57]  Now it just feels like it's just another never ending bill being added to your expense list.
[01:44:03]  You know, you got to travel and then it's gas and then tuition and then camp fees.
[01:44:07]  And somewhere along the way, you find yourself doing what everybody does you put it on a card, just keep things moving.
[01:44:14]  You know, and then you look up a few months later and that temporary fix is turned into high interest debt that just doesn't go away and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
[01:44:21]  This is why my parents, when I was really small, Set all of us kids down in the living room and they cut up their credit cards and put them in the fire.
[01:44:29]  And they said, never do that, never do that, because they all learned.
[01:44:31]  In that generation, they learned.
[01:44:34]  American financing can help.
[01:44:35]  They don't just talk about debt, they'll show you a way out.
[01:44:38]  They'll build your plan around your situation using your home as equity and turn all of that into one manageable payment.
[01:44:45]  No guesswork, no pressure, just a clear path to getting your financing back under control.
[01:44:51]  And with a lot of people, that means a real breathing room, the kind that you can actually feel every single month.
[01:44:56]  The average person in this audience is saving about $830 every single month through American financing.

[01:45:27]  We have Jason Buttrill with us, who I want to bring in and say anything that we have missed.
[01:45:33]  And Ricky, our executive producer, just put her finger up and said, I got a question.

=== Empower Good People Now (03:18) ===

[01:45:38]  Yeah.
[01:45:38]  I just saw a post that Hegseth had shown a graphic, I guess, in a briefing, and he showed that Iran put more mines in the Strait of Hormuz on April 23rd.
[01:45:51]  And my question is first of all, that's insane.
[01:45:55]  And.
[01:45:56]  Maniacal, and I can't even understand that level of depravity.
[01:45:59]  But how do we win a war against people who literally want to usher in the end of the world?
[01:46:05]  They have nothing to lose.
[01:46:06]  Their ideology is all about death.
[01:46:08]  How do you win a war against people like that?
[01:46:13]  This is probably the wrong answer, but all I can think of is in the Bible, where there was a few times where God said, Wipe them out.
[01:46:21]  Wipe them out.
[01:46:23]  All of them.
[01:46:24]  Now, I don't mean that of Persians and Iranians, I mean that of the mullahs and the Twelvers.
[01:46:29]  Wipe them out.
[01:46:31]  That's why I think because you've seen that you can win a war.
[01:46:36]  The president or Jeremy, I mean, Jason, who was it that yesterday came out and was like, that's a really bad move.
[01:46:43]  Why are we doing that?
[01:46:44]  And then they were furious at the IRGC for launching those missiles at UAE.
[01:46:49]  Yeah, that was from the Iranian.
[01:46:50]  That was a rumor from the Iranian president.
[01:46:53]  Okay.
[01:46:54]  So he can be dealt with.
[01:46:57]  He can be dealt with.
[01:46:58]  You have to take the IRGC and put them on the run.
[01:47:03]  You have to empower the people who are not 12ers, kill, continue to relentlessly kill the people who are.
[01:47:10]  And then you need to start arming the people in the country.
[01:47:15]  Let them take care of some of this hornet's nest themselves.
[01:47:18]  You haven't seen them do anything yet.
[01:47:20]  You have to empower the people who are the good people.
[01:47:23]  We have to know who the good people are and the bad people are first.
[01:47:26]  And we're starting to see that because of the ceasefire.
[01:47:28]  We know it's the IRGC.
[01:47:30]  Wipe them out.
[01:47:32]  Output transcript Out.
[01:47:33]  Kill every last one of them if you have to.
[01:47:37]  IRGC has made their stance very clear.
[01:47:40]  They want chaos.
[01:47:41]  They want to wash the world in blood.
[01:47:43]  Wipe them out and give sensible people a chance to live and be free.
[01:47:49]  All right.
[01:47:49]  Paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
[01:47:54]  There's a difference between having a plan and knowing your plan will work.
[01:47:59]  Business owners, generally speaking, have insurance.
[01:48:02]  You know, they have to.
[01:48:03]  They're on paper, you know, something, they have to have something safe in case something bad happens.
[01:48:08]  But you ask them, what are you actually covered for?
[01:48:11]  I mean, you asked me, or if somebody asked me just recently about something we were doing, and they were like, are we covered in case something goes wrong?
[01:48:17]  And I'm like, was that you, Ricky?
[01:48:20]  Was that London, wasn't it?
[01:48:21]  And I'm like, I'm not sure.
[01:48:23]  I think we are.
[01:48:24]  Policies are very complex, details get buried.
[01:48:28]  It's easy to assume everything is handled right up until the moment you find out it's not.
[01:48:33]  That's why I really like Super Sure.
[01:48:34]  It takes something that is usually hard or even impossible to understand and makes it really easy, showing you exactly what you have, what you don't, and where you might be exposed before it turns into a real problem.
[01:48:45]  So don't get in the middle of the claim and try to figure it out.
[01:48:48]  Get ahead of it.
[01:48:49]  It's a different position to be in.
[01:48:51]  Be ahead of things.

[01:49:00]  We're about to roast the best of the worst celebrities at the Met Gallon.
[01:49:03]  I know Torch Insiders will be lighting up our live chat.
[01:49:06]  Join our amazing community.
[01:49:08]  today at glenbeck.com slash torch.
[01:49:26]  Really?
[01:49:27]  You know that?
[01:49:28]  Really?
[01:49:29]  Interesting.
[01:49:30]  All right.
[01:49:32]  Let me go to Jason.
[01:49:33]  He was just talking to the insiders and giving them some information here that I had not heard.
[01:49:37]  Where did you find this interview with President Trump?
[01:49:40]  This is a Salem news channel.
[01:49:42]  I've never watched this before, but yeah, that's where it's from.
[01:49:47]  Ricky?
[01:49:48]  Yeah, Jason, I was just saying I noticed a watermark on it from Clash Report, which is one of those X accounts that we flagged as being.
[01:49:55]  Affiliated with Turkey and propaganda, you know, between Russia.
[01:50:00]  But we know that this interview did happen.
[01:50:02]  Who is the president?
[01:50:03]  Who is interviewing the president here?
[01:50:07]  Hugh Hewitt, the radio host.
[01:50:10]  Okay, so Hugh is talking to him about and says, you know, would you like to see the Iranian people rise up?
[01:50:18]  Listen to what the president says.
[01:50:20]  It's fascinating.
[01:50:21]  Listen to this.
[01:50:22]  So, look, if they had guns, which they don't have, If they had guns, you know, guns were sent and other people took those guns.
[01:50:31]  If they had guns, they would fight back.
[01:50:33]  I'm convinced of that.
[01:50:34]  But, you know, you can't have an unarmed population against people with AK 47s and stand there even if you have 250,000 people.
[01:50:44]  So, you know, you started off by asking me, would I like to see them?
[01:50:47]  And I'm very torn on it because they lost 42,000 people in the first two weeks.
[01:50:53]  I don't really want to see that.
[01:50:54]  They have to have guns.
[01:50:56]  And I think they're getting some guns.
[01:50:58]  As soon as they have guns, they'll fight like.
[01:51:01]  As good as anybody there is.
[01:51:05]  So, okay, wait a minute.
[01:51:06]  Hang on just a second.
[01:51:07]  What, wait, what?
[01:51:08]  What did he just say?
[01:51:10]  Guns were sent.
[01:51:12]  Yeah.
[01:51:12]  Guns were sent, but they went to other people.
[01:51:15]  Was it the prince that we were talking to?
[01:51:17]  Who was it that we were talking to?
[01:51:19]  And he said that somebody was training on the ground.
[01:51:24]  Do you remember that?
[01:51:25]  Who was it that said that somebody was training on the ground?
[01:51:27]  It was an Iranian activist.
[01:51:28]  Oh, yeah.
[01:51:28]  Okay.
[01:51:28]  That's right.
[01:51:30]  And so we were talking about it at that time.
[01:51:32]  It looks like.
[01:51:33]  Somebody's sending guns or training or something over for the people.
[01:51:37]  And so he said, Guns were sent, but they went to other people.
[01:51:42]  Yeah, same with.
[01:51:43]  I mean, if that's not the story of Ukraine, I don't know what is.
[01:51:49]  And then he says, I think they're getting guns.
[01:51:53]  Well, the president doesn't think they're getting guns, but does the president know?
[01:51:57]  You know what I mean?
[01:51:59]  And so it looks like it is the plan, right, Jason?
[01:52:02]  To have the Iranian people step up.
[01:52:05]  We've known before in the past, we've heard that there will be a signal.
[01:52:09]  That's what that was, it's almost a direct quote that there will be a signal.
[01:52:13]  And right now, the Iranian people are being told to stand by and there will be a signal.
[01:52:18]  And then that will be their cue to go out into the streets and take their country back.
[01:52:23]  We know this.
[01:52:25]  It kind of looks like they're kind of in a delay pattern right now because there's a lot of things that are working against the Iranian regime.
[01:52:31]  The blockade, for one, has exposed their economy and their oil production and capacity to.
[01:52:37]  To hold the oil that is going nowhere right now.
[01:52:40]  So there's really no reason.
[01:52:41]  You know, you.
[01:52:42]  Something wrong with that.
[01:52:43]  You asked earlier.
[01:52:44]  Something wrong with that.
[01:52:44]  I want to.
[01:52:45]  Yeah, go ahead.
[01:52:47]  You asked earlier why we're not hitting different targets right now.
[01:52:50]  And personally, I believe that they're still in that kind of delay pattern.
[01:52:53]  They're waiting to see, you know, how bad the economic situation gets before, you know, the rest of the masses in Iran actually, you know, take to the streets.
[01:53:03]  But I think it's interesting right now how, you know, a lot of people in the administration are saying that the ceasefire.
[01:53:08]  Has kind of nullified or reset the war powers restrictions that they were under.
[01:53:13]  They're saying that it's completely reset the timeframe.
[01:53:16]  And even the operations they're doing right now in the Strait of Hormuz to escort ships into and out, that can be classified as well as humanitarian freedom of navigation.
[01:53:26]  Correct.
[01:53:26]  It's not war.
[01:53:27]  Yeah.
[01:53:28]  So they can still just sit back and wait.
[01:53:31]  Real quick Cuba.
[01:53:33]  We should have more on this tomorrow, but he looks like the administration is getting serious about regime change in Cuba now.
[01:53:41]  Yeah.
[01:53:42]  Did you hear that yesterday?
[01:53:43]  Yeah.
[01:53:44]  So, yeah, this was a proposal that they.
[01:53:46]  Cubans made, remember when they proposed to allow Cubans that are American citizens to invest and do business actually on the island of Cuba, and the Trump administration has now turned that down.
[01:53:59]  So I think they're looking at that as, you know, the Cuban regime would use this as an, you know, basically economic muscle as relief so that they could gain stronger.
[01:54:08]  So we're continuing to choke that off.
[01:54:09]  So, you know, again, it looks like a lot of people have not had eyes on Cuba.
[01:54:13]  I think all eyes should be on Cuba because real action should be coming.
[01:54:18]  It could be coming soon.
[01:54:20]  So there's a couple of other things.
[01:54:23]  More fraud going to be coming out of Ohio.
[01:54:27]  We're going to get into that, what, Thursday maybe?
[01:54:30]  Later this week, I've reached out to the investigative reporter for Daily Wire who's uncovering all of it.
[01:54:35]  And he's got more that he's going to unload.
[01:54:37]  So I'm sure.
[01:54:40]  The, let's see, the Muslim only water park event in, what part of Dallas is that in?
[01:54:48]  Is that great?
[01:54:51]  Jason is all over this story because we think Jason is actually going to show up in his own burkini.
[01:54:58]  Yeah.
[01:54:59]  I mean, this is something that has city funds, and they put out a deal that says Muslim only water park day.
[01:55:08]  That upset a lot of people.
[01:55:10]  And then they changed it with the Islamic symbol still on it, and they just said moderate dress day at the water park.
[01:55:18]  And, you know, I'm.
[01:55:21]  I think Sarah Gonzalez from The Blaze is going to end up showing up there in a bikini.
[01:55:25]  I just, I mean, she's the one to do it.
[01:55:29]  Oh, gosh, wouldn't that be.
[01:55:32]  You are our American doll.
[01:55:33]  Yeah, you are so hot.
[01:55:36]  Also, maybe we can get to this tomorrow on Fauci, but we are running out of time.
[01:55:41]  If anybody's going to charge Fauci, the statute of limitations runs out on this when?
[01:55:46]  Just a few days.
[01:55:47]  Seven days, like two days ago.
[01:55:53]  Is anybody going to pay a price?
[01:55:54]  What do you think he's guilty of exactly?
[01:55:56]  I mean, I know we had an amazing special that outlined.
[01:55:58]  I think he is guilty of a lot of things.
[01:56:01]  He's guilty of, and I don't know law well enough to know, but these are the things he did knowingly that were wrong.
[01:56:08]  He violated our own law by sending over and working with China on gain of function.
[01:56:18]  That is against the law.
[01:56:19]  He did it knowingly.
[01:56:21]  He then lied to Congress over and over again.
[01:56:24]  He then.
[01:56:25]  Hid all once the once the virus got out.
[01:56:28]  He knew what it was.
[01:56:29]  He knew exactly what it was.
[01:56:30]  Once the virus got out he then hid that information from the American people.
[01:56:35]  I don't know if he told the president.
[01:56:37]  I doubt he did.
[01:56:38]  I don't know if he told the drug makers then he and his cohorts made millions of dollars on those drugs that were were done.
[01:56:49]  So did the federal government made millions of dollars.
[01:56:52]  He then lied to people about what we should do.
[01:56:56]  He scarred our children For decades, because of what he did to the schools, his mask mandates, all of those things.
[01:57:07]  And I believe because he violated the first principle of, hey, we're not going to do these gain of function tests, I believe he's responsible for millions of people dead.
[01:57:18]  Somebody has to pay for that.
[01:57:20]  Somebody has to pay for it.
[01:57:21]  And it has to be the most arrogant man who called himself science.
[01:57:27]  I think it needs to be him.
[01:57:28]  I think it needs to be him.
[01:57:30]  And, you know, he'll pay the ultimate price of justice when he goes to meet the Lord.
[01:57:36]  But I'd like to see some justice happen here on earth.
[01:57:39]  Through the justice system, not through bullets or anything else, through the justice system.

=== Arrogant Man Responsible For Deaths (06:54) ===

[01:57:44]  Because we're just encouraging people to continue to do this over and over and over and over again.
[01:57:51]  So, Saturday night, we were doing this thing at Ellis Island.
[01:57:57]  And I get back to the hotel and I said to the doorman, he said, You look tired.
[01:58:04]  And I said, Hi, it's been a long week and a long day.
[01:58:07]  And he said, I know it's been a long day here too.
[01:58:10]  And I said, What was going on here?
[01:58:12]  And he said, Well, just down the street, the Met Gallon, everybody was going, getting ready for the Met Gallon.
[01:58:17]  I thought, Oh, that's insane.
[01:58:20]  That's insane.
[01:58:22]  Um, and then since then, I have seen what were the tickets?
[01:58:25]  $75,000.
[01:58:26]  Yeah, it's for a good cause, is it?
[01:58:29]  Yeah, um, they raise money apparently every year for the Costume Institute, which I mean, you love fashion, but do you think it needs an $75,000?
[01:58:41]  Right, right, they raised.
[01:58:42]  75,000 a ticket.
[01:58:44]  And they raised, broke records, raised 42 million this year.
[01:58:50]  For the costume?
[01:58:51]  For the costume institute.
[01:58:53]  I call, you know what I call that?
[01:58:56]  Party City.
[01:58:57]  Okay.
[01:58:58]  That's what I call that.
[01:58:58]  Party City.
[01:58:59]  I mean, like the actual, like it used to be in a strip mall, Party City has all the costumes in it.
[01:59:04]  You know, I don't know.
[01:59:06]  I don't know how big of a costume institute you need, but maybe, I mean, you do this every year for the costume institute.
[01:59:15]  What the hell?
[01:59:17]  Where's the money actually going?
[01:59:18]  And where is it?
[01:59:18]  You got that right.
[01:59:20]  And where are all the costumes?
[01:59:21]  Where is the Costume Institute?
[01:59:24]  I don't know, but we saw some costumes last night.
[01:59:28]  Yeah, did we?
[01:59:28]  Yeah.
[01:59:29]  You mean Saturday night?
[01:59:30]  No, no.
[01:59:31]  It's every Monday.
[01:59:32]  Oh, it's for Monday.
[01:59:32]  They're pairing for us on the weekend.
[01:59:33]  They're pairing for us.
[01:59:34]  Yeah, this was last night.
[01:59:35]  Oh, okay.
[01:59:36]  Big, big event was.
[01:59:37]  Can I see some of the costumes that they.
[01:59:39]  Were they wearing costumes or this just current fashion?
[01:59:43]  Would you call this fashion?
[01:59:44]  Can we pull up the first black transgender person with a quadriplegic cerebral. Palsy that was signed to a major modeling agency.
[01:59:54]  That's not them.
[01:59:56]  Ow.
[01:59:56]  Ow.
[01:59:56]  I don't think my brain can.
[01:59:58]  Wow.
[01:59:59]  I don't know.
[02:00:00]  My brain can't process that.
[02:00:01]  Can you start at the beginning?
[02:00:03]  Erin Ariana Phillip Rose is the first black transgender person with quadriplegic cerebral palsy to be signed to a major modeling agency.
[02:00:14]  I mean, just look at that wrist.
[02:00:17]  If you're a torch insider, you're watching.
[02:00:19]  That is.
[02:00:19]  I mean, I feel.
[02:00:20]  I mean, you know, I'm glad that she has a place in the world and everything.
[02:00:24]  This used to be a dude.
[02:00:27]  This is technically a dude.
[02:00:28]  Move on.
[02:00:29]  There's no place to go here.
[02:00:30]  Okay.
[02:00:31]  All right.
[02:00:32]  You actually, someone sent you a tweet that you thought was Travis Kelsey.
[02:00:37]  I did.
[02:00:39]  Wearing whatever this is.
[02:00:41]  Can we bring up the B roll of musical artist Sam Smith?
[02:00:45]  Oh, Sam Smith.
[02:00:46]  How did I. Look at that.
[02:00:48]  I thought that was.
[02:00:49]  Sexy.
[02:00:50]  I don't know what that is.
[02:00:51]  What that is.
[02:00:52]  Evil.
[02:00:52]  A Disney villain?
[02:00:53]  Evil.
[02:00:54]  It's just evil.
[02:00:54]  I think that's evil.
[02:00:55]  Jason, is this what you're going to wear to the Muslim event?
[02:01:01]  I still can't get over the fact that Glenn thought this was Travis Kelsey.
[02:01:04]  I can't.
[02:01:04]  I've got nothing after that.
[02:01:05]  I know.
[02:01:05]  After that, it was marked as Travis Kelsey.
[02:01:09]  I know, but there was the video.
[02:01:11]  I know he's a Kansas City Chiefs fan, but this is more proof the man does not know the NFL.
[02:01:16]  Yeah, oh, and I don't know it.
[02:01:17]  I actually want to apologize to Travis Kelsey for confusing him for Sam Smith.
[02:01:21]  Yeah, and I am so glad.
[02:01:23]  But, I mean, I immediately thought, I saw the label, and I'm like, oh, that can't be.
[02:01:27]  Is that really Travis?
[02:01:28]  And then I thought, you know, well, he's with What's Her Face, so probably.
[02:01:32]  Remember, all of this is for a good cause.
[02:01:35]  The Costume Institute.
[02:01:37]  What I want to do, I want somebody.
[02:01:39]  To investigate the Costume Institute, I want to know where it is, what, $42 million this year?
[02:01:48]  And how many years have they been doing it?
[02:01:49]  Since the 50s.
[02:01:50]  How big is the damn, since the 50s?
[02:01:53]  Stand by.
[02:01:53]  It's actually founded in 1948.
[02:01:57]  It started as a relatively modest midnight supper.
[02:01:59]  Tickets were $50 back then.
[02:02:03]  Well, they probably knew that the Costume Institute wasn't going to cost them all that much.
[02:02:08]  I want to know, seriously, I want to know.
[02:02:10]  That sounds like a complete and total scam.
[02:02:13]  Maybe I'll change your mind about the worthiness of this charity when I show you how sexy Lena Dunham looked last night.
[02:02:22]  She arrived in a dress that looks like it was made from the corpses of a thousand birds.
[02:02:27]  Look at Lena.
[02:02:29]  You are such.
[02:02:30]  Lena Dunham.
[02:02:31]  I thought that was the puppet guy.
[02:02:34]  No, no, no.
[02:02:35]  She wrote the episode Girls or the series Girls.
[02:02:38]  It was on HBO.
[02:02:38]  Yeah, I missed that one.
[02:02:40]  No, not on that one.
[02:02:41]  Boy.
[02:02:42]  Anyways, she looks like a bird if you went dark.
[02:02:45]  She'd have about a thousand lights.
[02:02:46]  She looks like it.
[02:02:48]  Yeah, no, you know what it is.
[02:02:49]  It's if Elmo and Big Bird had a baby.
[02:02:53]  And there was a third parent involved.
[02:02:55]  Oh, you're a gene, and it was human.
[02:02:57]  And they took on the traits of Elmo's color.
[02:03:04]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[02:03:05]  But it's a bird and fat.
[02:03:10]  Yeah, I got to go to this costume institute.
[02:03:13]  The next one is actress Heidi Klum.
[02:03:15]  She arrived as a real life marble statue.
[02:03:17]  Now, Heidi is actually gorgeous and she has demonstrated real fashion choices, not in the past, but this is a very dramatic interpretation of fashion.
[02:03:28]  Can we show that, Glenn?
[02:03:29]  What does that remind you of?
[02:03:32]  It's a combination of the Virgin Mary and the guy, the decaying guy from the Davies, whatever, from the, oh, I can't say it, the Pirates of the Caribbean.
[02:03:50]  Oh.
[02:03:51]  You know, Davy's, what was it?
[02:03:52]  Davy's chest or whatever that was.
[02:03:54]  I never saw the movie, but you know, the guy with the beard?
[02:03:56]  Oh, yeah.
[02:03:57]  It looks like that head on the statue of the Virgin Mary.
[02:04:01]  What is it?
[02:04:03]  I don't know what it is other than it's fashion, baby.
[02:04:08]  Just get on board.
[02:04:09]  It's fashion.
[02:04:10]  It's probably more blasphemy than fashion.
[02:04:13]  Probably more blasphemy.
[02:04:15]  Cardi B. Wow.
[02:04:17]  This one, this one is.
[02:04:19]  Go ahead, one more.
[02:04:20]  One more quick.
[02:04:20]  This one is super sexy.
[02:04:22]  Do you have it?
[02:04:24]  Yeah.
[02:04:24]  Is this Cardi B looking like, I don't know, your intestines?
[02:04:28]  Oh my gosh.
[02:04:29]  She absolutely looks like somebody's been disemboweled.
[02:04:34]  You know, but that's appropriate for the Met Gala.
[02:04:36]  All right.
[02:04:37]  More in just a second off of this.

=== Fashion Blasphemy Met Gala (01:47) ===

[02:04:39]  Let me tell you about Rough Greens.
[02:04:42]  You know, I mean, I don't want to be the one to tell you this, but your dog's been talking, not to you, obviously, but to other dogs.
[02:04:50]  And from what I'm hearing, the reviews on dinner are meh at best.
[02:04:53]  You know what I mean?
[02:04:54]  Apparently, same thing every day.
[02:04:55]  It's dry.
[02:04:56]  And it's the part that hurts him or her, whichever one, that it's not packed with everything they actually need, nutrition wise.
[02:05:04]  Wise, and they've been talking about it.
[02:05:05]  They've been reading the label.
[02:05:06]  They didn't think they could read.
[02:05:07]  They can.
[02:05:09]  And you just stick it in the bowl and you expect them to eat it.
[02:05:11]  And they look at you and, like, really, this is it?
[02:05:13]  Dry kibble is a processed food and it is cooked at very high temperatures.
[02:05:18]  And your dog knows this is not good for me.
[02:05:21]  So they're eating and they're still looking at you with those puppy dog eyes.
[02:05:24]  And they're still, you know, but, you know, just be careful when you sleep.
[02:05:28]  I'm just saying, you might want to try some rough greens.
[02:05:31]  You'll sleep better at night.
[02:05:32]  And so will your dog.
[02:05:33]  It's rough greens.
[02:05:34]  It'll help them.
[02:05:36]  Help them build a body that will last and is strong and is revitalized again.
