Glenn Beck, Tim Stewart, and Rep. Chip Roy dissect the Obama marriage crisis amid threats like Dean Delachai's assassination plot and Iran's oil blockade causing wellhead burning. They debate the "kill switch" legislation violating Fourth Amendment rights and the End U-Visa Abuse Act targeting fraud where illegal aliens claim victim status. The discussion concludes that stopping Sharia law requires rooting out ideological encroachment, while Stewart notes a $67–$90 barrel price zone is vital for energy stability against a $40 trillion debt crisis.

Trouble Doesn't Care00:09:27
You're probably like most people.
Most people don't want any trouble.
They avoid it.
They walk away from it when they can.
They de escalate it whenever it's possible and hope it never comes looking for them.
That's the right instinct.
But sometimes trouble doesn't care what you want.
It shows up in a parking garage, on a dark walk home, at your front door late at night or a few seconds.
It just sits there and then it decides you look like an easy target.
That's why I want to talk to you about burn up.
It gives you a way to protect yourself without relying on lethal force.
The burn up launcher, it fires.
Powerful kinetic and pepper rounds.
It can stop a threat from up to 60 feet away, giving you time to escape and get to safety.
It's legal in all 50 states, requires no permit, no background check.
Take a look at Burna.

This isn't a podcast.
This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
Rate, review, share.
Together, we'll make a difference.
And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.
Hey, we've got a couple of other people that are now in court because they want to kill the president.
Oh, what a surprise, been arrested.
It's just another Wednesday in America, apparently.
I want to talk to you a little bit about ideological possession because that is what's really going on in the country.
We're also going to talk about the car kill switch.
I don't know if you've even heard about that.
All of the different crime that is going on.
There's a disturbing trend that is happening in our court systems right now, in our justice system.
Also, Ken Griffin has been, he doubled down on New York City.
He's like, well, one thing I learned from Mamdani is I should double down in Miami, Florida.
Also, there's a strange story going around about pastors in Florida that were asked to meet and talk about, I guess, a development on aliens.
I don't even know where to begin with this one, but we'll parse through that one here in just a minute.
But stand by.
We begin in 60 seconds.
First, home security companies lock you into a massive contract.
They hit you with fees if you want to leave, somehow make you feel like you're the one who did something wrong for not wanting to pay them forever.
In the words of the president, those guys are losers.
It's one of the reasons why I like Simply Safe.
They came along and said, what if we just made it so it would work?
No games, no long-term contracts, no nightmare cancellation, winning, just really good security monitoring that is actually affordable and is somebody who has put in a Simply Safe system before, I can tell you this, it's one of the easiest things to do.
I mean, I'm not handy at all.
But yeah, you can put the cameras in, the sensors, 24-7 professional monitoring comes along with it, gives you the extra peace of mind that everything is covered.
Over 5 million people trust Simply Safe to help protect their homes every single day.
I don't put my name behind many brands.
Simply Safe, I've had my name behind them since I think they had about 25 people working for them.
They were a very small company, and now they're winning all kinds of awards for being the best security company out there.
Visit simplysafe.comslash back.
It's half off now.
It's simplysafe.comslash back.
There is no safe like simply safe.
All right, I want to talk to you.
I want to talk to you about how people's minds are possessed.
Okay.
And they're choosing to allow their minds to be possessed.
There apparently is genuine tension with the Obamas.
Former President Barack Obama said, Pressure to be on the campaign trail for the Democratic Party is creating tension between him and his wife.
The New Yorker interview with Obama, published Monday, shared how their marriage has been affected by Barack's continual involvement in politics.
She wants to see her husband easing up and spend more time with her, enjoying what remains of their lives.
It does create a genuine tension in our household and it frustrates her, President Obama said.
So now, you know, because they had rumors that they were going to break up and everything else, she has never liked any of this presidential stuff.
Never.
And we've all known that.
We've all known that.
It's very, very clear.
In 2025, there were rumors that they were going to break up and they both denied it, yada, yada, and played kissy face.
But now you're starting to see that maybe there is something there.
He said he was in a huge hole with his wife and he had a lot to make up for.
But now he's going back on the road.
And no president, by the way, has ever done what President Obama is doing.
But he's doing it.
And I'm really just tired of the excuses.
I really am.
I mean, I'm sure it creates tension.
Barack, don't blame that on Donald Trump.
Can we stop blaming Donald Trump for everything in our lives?
I can't.
I mean, this is ridiculous.
It's not his fault.
Barack, you're making the choice, not Donald Trump.
He's not forcing you to do that.
I mean, honestly, it's why I live in Florida now.
I mean, I am not a beach guy.
I'm riddled with cancer, face cancer.
You know what I mean?
I see the sun and my skin goes, oh, thank you.
More cancer coming my way.
I'm not a beach guy.
Never have been a beach guy.
I'm not a hot guy.
I don't like the heat.
I don't like humidity.
Why do I live here?
Because I promised my wife when we first.
Got together.
She is a sun worshiper, she loves the sun, she loves the beach, and I said someday honey, things will slow down and and my life is never going to.
Every year.
Every year I say, you know, next year is going to be different.
It's not different, it's always the same.
It's always this way and I realized if I was going to keep my promise.
My wife has done so much for me.
She has supported me in everything that I have ever wanted to do.
She has been the best backstop, The best advisor, the best wife you could possibly imagine.
And I realized, you know, I'm going to run out of time at some point.
I promised her this.
It is her turn.
It's my turn to serve her.
Barack, have you thought about that with your wife?
Maybe it's your turn to serve her.
She's been serving you.
She put up with the White House.
I'm not talking politics here or anything else.
But there comes a time in every marriage where.
One of you has given up an awful lot.
And honestly, it's usually the wife that has given up an awful lot to support the husband.
At some point, you have to say, It's your turn, honey.
It's your turn.
What do you want?
How can I serve you?
How can I?
And hopefully you're doing that all the way along.
I mean, I've tried to be a good husband all the way along, but you know what?
She's been there.
She's moved across the country for me.
She's put up with so much stuff.
So much stuff.
If my wife said to me, Honey, I'm done.
I'm done.
No more.
And, you know, just what we're facing, you know, right now with security.
I mean, I got to tell you, she could say that at any time.
I'm done.
I'm done.
We're not doing this anymore.
It's not worth it.
I'm done.
She doesn't.
But if she did and she said, you know what, honey, I'm done.
We're not doing this anymore.
I would leave my job because she's more important than my job.
Barack, does your wife count for anything with you?
Ideological Possession00:07:10
Or is your life just all about Donald Trump?
That's the problem in our nation everything seems to be about Donald Trump.
It's possession.
You have ideological possession.
Let me give you a couple of other stories.
In New Hampshire, there's a federal aviation contractor named Dean Delachai, I believe his name is.
He sits at his government work computer.
And he's researching previous assassination attempts on President Trump.
He researches how to smuggle a gun into a federal building.
And the phrase he's using, I'm going to kill Donald J. Trump.
Well, that's not too smart if you're trying not to get caught and think they're checking every keystroke.
April 21st, he emails the White House and he announces, I, Dean Delachai, am going to neutralize slash kill you, Donald J. Trump, because you decided to kill kids.
And say that it was war when in reality it is terrorism.
On May 5th, he's charged with interstate threats.
Now, let me take you to Virginia.
Same time in Arlington, Virginia, an activist there plasters wanted posters with Stephen Miller's home address, branding him guilty of crimes against humanity for enforcing immigration law.
No state charges.
You know, they're not going to charge this guy?
No, because it's protected speech.
What?
What?
You're doxing him and his family?
Really?
So, what does Stephen Miller and his family do?
They pack up and they move to military housing for safety.
Now, this has happened before.
There have been people that have been hunted and they've had to move, but never like this because Stephen Miller's family isn't the only one.
You know who else has to live on a military base with their family for protection?
Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, Noam.
And Miller's family.
And there's about six to 10 of these officials that are now living for protection on a military base that is unprecedented in history.
Unprecedented.
And that's not all the stuff that just happened this week.
April 25th, 11 days ago, Cole Thomas Allen comes into the White House correspondence dinner, shotgun, pistol, knife.
He's trying to kill everybody in there.
He wants to kill the president.
And any other government official.
This marks the third time in less than two years an armed attacker has come within striking distance of the president of the United States.
New charges, by the way, added this week attempted assassination.
In North Carolina, Daniel Swain's SUV is sitting at a car wash, covered in handwritten threats, headed to WSH to kill the president.
That's another one.
He's now in federal court.
These, I'm not making, these are headlines.
They're almost daily every day.
How is this happening?
What kind of sickness turns a policy disagreement into a license to kill?
I looked it up.
It's called ideological possession.
And I want you to think of it like this it's a mind virus, okay?
It's invisible, but it is contagious.
And it doesn't turn people into raving lunatics, at least overnight.
It starts with repetition.
You have to be hearing the same thing every day.
Cable news.
Campus lectures, social media feeds hammer the same script.
Trump isn't just wrong on borders.
He's not just wrong on foreign policy.
He's literally murdering children and committing crimes against humanity.
And when you hear that day after day after day, ordinary people, neighbors, family members, co workers, federal employees, they follow it whole.
Why?
Because the tribe therein rewards it and punishes anyone who expresses doubt.
Show me the evidence.
You know, they'll say, We want warrants for ICE.
Since when?
Do you know that's not the way ICE works?
There is no such thing as a judge signing off on a warrant.
That's not the way the federal government works with ICE.
It's never worked that way.
Now you're just bringing this up, and you don't even know the truth about how this system works.
You just say, He's going in without warrants.
See, we told you he was a Nazi.
They've never used warrants.
But it doesn't require evidence.
And your tribe punishes you for questioning.
And so you just become more and more morally certain.
I got news for you.
This is the same hypnosis that made decent Germans in the 1930s believe their Jewish neighbors were a plague.
Not because they were evil from birth, but because the propaganda machine repeated the lie until it became common sense.
What happened at the Salem witch trials?
What happened in Rwanda?
Do you know that neighbors, neighbors who were friends, began murdering each other because Rwanda radio, the broadcast, Broadcast every day, said the Tutsis, your neighbors, if they're Tutsis, you know they're cockroaches.
They deserve to die.
That's what happened with a massacre in Rwanda.
How do you think Mao got everybody to kill their professors, kill their parents, and turn them in?
Same pattern.
The victim isn't crazy.
Quite honestly, the victim is possessed.
And you can say it's an evil spirit or whatever, but it's a story that feels truer than truth.
Now, let me say something really clear here.
And everyone on all sides needs to hear this.
We are not Nazi Germany.
We're not.
Biden could be in, and I would still say we're not Nazi Germany.
Because we still have the First Amendment, we still have elections, we still have an armed citizenry.
But we're becoming something much darker than we were.
We are a low trust republic where the other side isn't just wrong.
They're monsters who deserve whatever death might come.
That's a mind virus.
That is a sickness.
We have to have perspective.
A, this isn't Nazi Germany.
Low Trust Republic00:05:32
B, understand what's happening.
Understand that you make the choice to have Donald Trump.
Destroy your marriage.
It's your choice.
It's not his.
He's not doing that to you.
You are doing that to you.
Okay, so how do we stop this?
Well, there are three things that you have to do, and I'll give those to you here in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
Our sponsor this half hour is My Patriot Supply.
In every family, somebody has to be the person who thinks ahead for everybody.
Somebody has to notice the storm clouds before the rain starts.
Somebody has to say, hey, what if the plan goes sideways for a while?
Somebody has to make sure there's food and water and power and the basic things that your family would need if normal life got interrupted.
Let's be honest.
You're the one listening to me right now.
So I'm afraid the job probably falls to you.
That doesn't mean you'd be able to bunker in the mountains, although I have.
It just means you should have a plan before you need one.
My Patriot Supply has put together a family starter pack.
That covers your family with a week's worth of emergency food plus the basic tools that you need to actually use it, like off grid cooking, water filtration, backup power, all for as little as $100 per person.
It's in stock.
It's ready to ship right now.
It is a great way to start.

10 seconds, station ID.
So I was up almost two o'clock in the morning last night writing something for something I'm working for in over the summer.
I want to do 10 weeks of education with a torch.
And we're going to be releasing these songs on the 10 amendments of the Bill of Rights.
But with it, I want to put together a tutorial that you can use with your kids this summer.
So when everybody is off, you're vacationing or whatever, it's a way for you to teach your kids the 10th Amendment.
The 10 amendments of the Bill of Rights.
Because these are the basics.
You've got to know.
And right now we're arguing about hate speech and everything else.
The first lesson is five in the first.
There are five rights that are guaranteed in the First Amendment.
Do you even know what they are?
We immediately go freedom of speech or freedom of religion.
Well, those are two of them.
We have to.
The first thing we have to do is educate ourselves.
And as I'm looking at these stories today, I see there are three steps that we have to do.
Okay.
And they're not that hard.
After we educate ourselves on what the law actually is, how do you defend your rights if you don't know what they are?
How do you defend your rights if you won't pick up your responsibilities?
The first thing that has to happen is one.
Enforce the law without fear or favor.
Real threats are crimes.
They're not speech.
Prosecute them equally, whether the target wears a red hat or a blue hat.
The FAA guy was charged doxing.
That endangers lives.
They let it go because it was just doxing.
Well, wait a minute, that's a crime.
Second thing flood the zone with sunlight and truth.
That means you have to know what the truth is.
And then you have a responsibility.
You have to counter the facts.
You have to counter the lies with facts relentlessly.
Border deaths, legal immigration outcomes, actual policy records.
You have to know that we don't use a warrant from a judge every time ICE goes in.
We never have.
That's not what Congress has dictated.
Platforms and parents.
We have to prioritize critical thinking over clicks and conformity.
Sunlight and education is the best disinfectant.
And the third thing we have to do is lead by moral example.
Reject the dehumanization on every side.
Call it out on every side.
If our side is saying that these people, you know, need to be killed, whatever, call it out.
No, no.
As I said yesterday on yesterday's program, there is no excuse for that.
Jesus was going to be crucified.
He knew it.
One of his apostles cut the ear off of one of the guys coming to round him up.
Jesus said, What are you doing?
No.
And he healed the guard that then took him away to crucify him.
There is no excuse.
None.
No Excuse for Hate00:14:56
That's a choice you make.
Model charity in disagreement.
We've got to.
We've got to drain the poison, and charity and charitable thinking do that than any hate rant could ever do.
History shows that the fever will break, but it depends on when it breaks.
Is it going to break after we go through massive pain?
I don't know.
It'll be our choice.
But there's only a couple of paths that are sitting right in front of us.
And one is that maybe this works.
Maybe the peace deals, the securing of the borders, we grow the economy, we discredit the hysteria.
Prosecutors deter the violence and America heals.
It's grumpy, but it's intact.
And the other is no, it just gets worse.
Just know this we've survived the Civil War.
We've survived worse than this.
Okay?
It doesn't have to be this way.
It's our choice.
All right, back in just a minute.
Paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
All right, let me tell you about Super Sure.
Remember when you first started?
You know, your business and everyone was warning you about the things you had to look out for.
You know, most businesses fail in the first few years.
Don't quit your day job too quickly.
Be careful who you trust.
You heard all of that and more, I'm sure.
But did anybody warn you about how complicated business insurance was going to be?
I don't remember anyone saying that.
You start looking into it and all of a sudden you're trying to translate insurance language that sounds like it was written by a lawyer having a stroke.
That's what I like about what SuperSure does.
They're trying to drag business insurance into the modern world and make it actually make sense for normal human beings and businesses because you're busy.
They give you a simple dashboard.
They help you understand what you're paying for.
They make it easy to get the coverage that actually fits with what you need.
And the usual headache, gone.

Jason just broke some news to the insiders, and I want to go over it.
Jason, come in.
I'm going to give you something that Donald Trump has just tweeted.
Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is perhaps a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be open to all, including Iran.
If they don't agree, the bombing starts and it will be sadly at a much higher level and intensity than it was before.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
By the way, before I get to that, do you know why?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Do you know why he says that at the end of all of his tweets?
Educate me.
Do you know, Jason?
I found this out.
This is crazy.
Don't.
Do you know why?
No.
Do you remember when he was debanked?
Yeah.
Okay.
And he got a letter from the bank saying, sorry.
The last line was, Thank you for your attention to this matter.
He has a long memory.
He has a very long memory.
Isn't that interesting?
Anyway, Jason, I will believe this when I see it.
We don't know who we're even dealing with.
And even the president is like, Perhaps this is a big assumption.
But this is like the third deal that Iran has presented to the United States in the last couple of days.
They keep presenting these.
Things.
I have a guest coming up in about 30 minutes.
It's going to tell us about oil and what's the deal.
I keep hearing that they're going to run out of space.
They're going to run out of space.
Well, when are they going to run out of space and shut down the oil fields?
Are we there yet?
Because that's the key to the pressure, I think, of getting a deal done.
So we'll find that out in just a few minutes.
But what do you think of what he just tweeted?
Well, I don't.
We saw comments from Marco Rubio yesterday just talking about when they're negotiating with.
The Iranians, it's kind of hard to like sometimes it takes over six days to get a response back because it's going through multiple different layers of the security state, eventually getting down to the Ayatollah.
Who knows the manipulations from the IRGC?
I don't even know if we know who we're negotiating with.
What party is it?
The IRGC?
Is it the political establishment?
Let's just say I'm highly skeptical every time we get some of these deals or these proposals coming from the Iranians.
And there are rumors going around now.
On more of a 14-ish point plan that they're proposing.
Have we seen it yet?
I've just seen reporting on what the rumors are on some of it, like a moratorium on uranium enrichment, us lifting sanctions and releasing frozen funds.
I don't know how far even those two will go.
Yeah.
I mean, we'll do all those things if they are actually going to not pursue a nuclear policy and they're going to.
You know, get away from Hezbollah and Hamas and all of that.
But those are huge ifs.
I mean, those are huge.
You trust the IRGC?
Because I don't.
Right.
No.
And I think that this has brought out all of their internal divisions.
And I don't even know if the leadership within Iran even knows who's in charge right now.
So I'm very skeptical on all of this.
We'll see where it goes.
As the president said, it's a big assumption, assuming this will go through.
But meanwhile, the blockade is still in effect.
I still think the best course of action is to allow things to take its course through the blockade.
Allow economic pain to continue there and see what they're forced into later.
That's the best course of action.
Well, we'll find out about the oil thing here coming up in just a few minutes.
Let me switch subjects.
Jason, I don't know if you saw this, but I don't even know if this is true.
But apparently, there were some people from the government with inside knowledge that have asked a group of pastors to meet somewhere in the country, Tennessee, and they met to get briefed on, I don't know, lizard people.
I don't know exactly what.
Do you have this story?
Have you looked into this?
Yeah, a little bit.
So this started going around yesterday.
And at first, I dismissed it.
I eventually started seeing it getting pushed all over the place.
But apparently, there was a large group of pastors.
I looked a few of them up.
Some of them are well known evangelists that supposedly met at an Airbnb in the mountains of Tennessee.
Okay, hang on just a second.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Send me a list of the pastors because I probably know some of them and I will call them and find out.
Okay, but go ahead.
They met at an Airbnb.
Right.
One of these pastors' names is Perry Stone.
So he put a video out on X yesterday or on YouTube.
And I'll just read you a quote that kind of summarizes it.
He said, I'm not going into great detail, but there were a large number of pastors that had been invited to go to a certain state to hear some men in the U.S. government and others share with them a concern that they had.
The concern revolved around some of it has to do with crafts that have been discovered that are not allegedly part of our planet and materials that are made are not part of our planet.
Very strange reptilian looking creatures and other things that almost sound like something of a sci fi movie or H.G. Wells' book.
And it sounds like they're gathering the pastors together to get a unified message so that when disclosures happen, there's not, I don't know what.
There's not, I know this has been discussed in UFO circles before that there will be civil unrest amongst religious people and how to control that has always been a question.
Wait, wait, wait.
Among religious people, don't you think if we found out that there are lizard people here, we would all be a little upset?
Is it why is it just the religious people that are going to be like, I can't take, I you know, I'm not going to stand for the lizard people in the shopping center?
I mean, what, what, well, this is when you get this, this is like specific claims.
And I've actually talked about a documentary, uh, the documentary is called Mirage Men.
And I mentioned I bring that up because at the very end of the documentary, they talk about one of the big specific claims that religious people might have a problem with.
Which understandably so.
But one of the claims or part of the disclosures has always been rumored that the human race has been manufactured by extraterrestrials.
That's one of the multitude of.
And that's what they thought it was.
So wait, wait, wait, wait.
The people who claim to believe in Jesus Christ are going to go, well, now wait a minute.
The lizard people say they came up with all of that.
And we're going to believe that?
Sounds like a psyop invented by atheists.
What have you really done?
What have you really done in Tennessee?
I mean, as a Christian, the first thing that I would say is if a lizard person was like, you know what, we came here long ago and we just made up this Jesus thing, first thing that would come to mind would be, get behind me, Satan.
I mean, that does not sound like something I go, no, well, wait a minute, that makes me question Jesus.
It makes me question the lizard people.
Well, Ricky, it's interesting.
Ricky mentioned psyop and There definitely seems like they're pushing to, I don't know, there's been a lot of talk of disclosure lately.
And it definitely kind of feels, I'm getting the PSYOP vibe on a lot of this.
But David Grush was trending yesterday also on aliens.
He was one of the big whistleblowers.
And he was saying that disclosure is going to ramp up between the next 60 to 90 days.
We've heard the White House talk about how they're going to release a lot of files.
Kash Patel was just talking about the release of a lot of files.
He said that, I think, yesterday, the past couple days.
Something is coming from the White House.
Whether it's a big nothing burger or not, I don't know.
It's going to be a big nothing burger.
There's no way the president.
Look, can we just be logical here for a second?
First of all, if.
The president knew that there were lizard people among us.
Okay.
Lizard people among us.
Do you think he'd be like out there going and by the way, oil prices are going to come down.
You know, I'm working on the next election.
We got to get out.
He would be focused on the is there a bigger story in all of mankind than we find out that aliens are among us.
I don't think there's a bigger story.
The entire the whole of government.
Would be gearing towards that.
Not, by the way, we got to bring our interest rates down, you know, and we're going to work on some housing programs.
And by the way, lizard people are here.
And it looks like the war in U.S. What did you just say?
Yeah, lizard people are here.
But let me tell you about the negotiations that are going on.
That's not going to happen.
That's not going to happen.
It's not going to happen.
There is a fortuitous timing to a lot of the alien talk.
It always seems like when there's other large news out there or something that, That government doesn't really want to talk about, or something like that.
We always seem to get a disclosure.
Or is it the government?
You know, these nameless leaks that are coming with people connected to the government.
I'd like to know who the people connected to the government are.
Who are they?
You know, who is doing this?
This is again, I mean, honestly, I would love to hear from Christians.
I'd love to hear from you because maybe a lot of people say I'm not a Christian, even though I've been saved and redeemed by Jesus Christ.
By accepting his atonement, somehow or not, a Christian.
But I would love to hear from Christians who somehow or another this is going to shake your faith.
I just don't believe that.
Oh, I believe in God until lizard people show up.
And then I'm going to listen to the lizard people and they're like, yeah, let me just tell you that we all came here a long time ago and made up Jesus.
Oh, oh.
Okay, that's shaking my faith.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Don't think so.
They do live among us.
And Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi.
Do you remember Steve Dace's prediction on your TV show?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Here's the exact quote We're going to see at least one elected official claim to have directly communicated with non human intelligence, and the amount of activity, PSYOP, whatever you want to call it, on the UFO, UAP, NHI front is ramping up.
Now I'm suspicious about why Steve Dace.
Knew that maybe was he in this Tennessee meeting, but is he a lizard person?
That's the better part.
He claims to be a Christian, maybe he's a lizard person.
Oh my gosh!
I mean, he he stated that with such authority, though, too.
And I'm not saying that he had inside information, but he really, I mean, because that was shocking coming from him.
And we all laughed, we're like, okay, Steve, and well, I guess maybe he was right.
We're getting closer.
Who do you think the politician would be that would announce that they'd had non human intelligence?
Trump.
Okay.
I mean, if it's, if it's, if it is, look, if it's true, Trump, because he's, he's going to let somebody else be the star of that show.
Lizard Person Claims00:04:46
No way.
I mean, if, if he could, it, the, the, the spacecraft would have T R U M P flashing.
It wouldn't be like, you know, the, the end scene of Close Encounters.
It's not just lights, it would spell out Trump.
He would spell out Trump.
He would be the guy.
If this is true, believe me, this is the biggest announcement in all of human history.
It's not going to be just leaked out.
The president would have to be the one.
I don't care who the president is.
The president would have to be the one that would break it to the American people and the world.
He would have to be.
You're going to say, Marco, I know you're busy on like 80 different jobs.
I need you to go out and talk to the people about the lizard people.
I'm working on negotiations right now.
No, it has to be the president.
And there's no way.
I just, I don't believe it.
And I don't, and even if it's true, I don't believe this is going to shake the faith.
I think this would bring faiths together.
I think Christians and, well, at least Christians, I mean, if you believe in the Bible, if you're like, I don't know, I'm just going to, I'm thinking about it, then maybe you believe the lizard person.
But if you believe the Bible, you believe in Jesus Christ, if he's worked his atoning power in your life at all, this is not.
Going to shake you.
It's not.
It's not.
All right.
Back in just a second.
Let me tell you about rough greens.
Now, I don't know about you, but I don't let my dog smoke.
Okay.
I don't pour him a glass of a little bit of whiskey at the end of a long day.
I don't leave hard drugs laying around the house.
You know, hey, he's got to make his own choices.
No, no.
I protect my dog from things that are bad for him.
Why do we feed our dogs overprocessed food that has been stripped of so much of a nutrition?
Every single meal for their whole life and expect them to live their highest life.
Okay, we wouldn't do that to our kids, but we do it to our dogs.
You know, our dogs were much healthier.
This is true.
Our dogs were much healthier when we were just feeding them scraps from the table.
And you would never think that, but it's true because most of us feed kibble food and it's bad for them.
It's not bad.
It doesn't have all the nutrition that it needs because it's cooked out and it's shelf stable.
You wouldn't feed processed food, you wouldn't feed your kids McDonald's hamburgers.
You know, three times a day for their whole life and expect them to be healthy.
Why do you do that to your dog?
You need a supplement that you can add all of that stuff back in, and that supplement is Rough Greens.

More Glenn Beck, next.
It feels like every conversation about weight loss eventually turns to injections these days.
I mean, you've probably heard about all that by now.
There are a lot of commercials pretty much running around the clock.
These results can be dramatic, but for a lot of people, you know, giving themselves a shot every week is suboptimal, you know, along with the potential side effects.
It's not something that's really appealing to a lot of people.
It's one thing, of course, people do want to lose weight, but, you know, do you really want to go that far?
Do you really want to use that?
Do you want to stick a needle in yourself to make that happen?
Some people love that.
Some people are real needle fiends, but Most aren't, I would say.
So, the real question comes to you when you say, like, well, how, if I want to keep losing weight, if I want to start losing weight, if I want to maintain weight loss, would I take a different approach?
And that's where lean comes in.
Lean is a weight loss supplement developed by doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition for people who feel stuck, especially those who have maybe 10 or more pounds to lose, can't seem to get past that plateau.
The ingredients in lean are designed to support healthy blood sugar levels, help your body convert stored fat into usable energy, and reduce cravings so that you're now.
You're not constantly battling hunger throughout the day.
You can get started right now with 20% off and free return shipping if, of course, you add lean to your healthy diet and exercise plan today.

Welcome to the Len Beck program.
Jason, we have audio of this pastor talking about.
Yeah.
Can we play any of it?
We have about a minute and a half.
Can you play a little bit of it?
Sure can.
Or should we wait?
Here is Perry Stone.
Go ahead.
Perry Stone.
No, Perry Stone.
Go ahead.
I had a friend that sent me a text message.
I was in a meeting, a weekend meeting, preaching Friday.
Saturday and Sunday morning.
And he said, Perry, can you give me a call?
I have some information that has come to my attention.
Of course, when a friend of yours does that, that you know quite well, you have no idea what information they're talking about.
And I'm not going to go into great detail, but there were a large number of pastors that had been invited to go to a certain state to hear.
Okay, well, when you go into detail, let us know.
Pastor, when you get into detail, let us know.
We're going to follow this story.
I'm going to check out the pastors that apparently were there.
I don't recognize any of the names myself, but we'll track them down.
We'll have more on this either later on the show or tomorrow.
You don't want to miss it.
Also, later this week, Nick Shirley is going to be joining us.
You don't want to miss that.
He is an amazing young man with an unbelievable story to tell this week.
We're living in a time where it's really easy to forget what this country is actually about, how it came to be.
And we talk about the founders like they just appeared fully formed out of history, but that's not how it happened.
That's why I think young George Washington is so important right now.
This is a film that takes you back before he was president, before the revolution was won, before George Washington was George Washington, that symbol.
And it shows you the young man he really was.
Not perfect, not polished, but somebody who was shaped by failures, hard decisions, and courage, and by a sense that there was something bigger than himself at work.
Great leaders are not created in comfort.
They're forged when things are hard, when stepping forward costs you something.
With the 250th anniversary of America right around the corner, this is a powerful way to market.
Take your family, take your kids, your grandkids, and connect them to the story that started all of this.

Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
So, the president just tweeted, you know, on Truth Social that the negotiations are going on and it looks like we're close.
He said, you know, take that with a grain of salt.
Those aren't exact words, but basically, I'll believe it when I see it.
But apparently, we're at the negotiating table yet again.
Oil Negotiations Update00:15:32
And, you know, this could be really, really good.
Oil is starting to go down this morning because of this, et cetera, et cetera.
We've been here before.
You know, we don't even know who we're really negotiating against or with.
So, you know, believe it when you see it.
But one of the things that strikes me is Iran now has come to the table.
This is like the third or fourth suggested peace treaty that they have brought to the table in the last couple of days, which leads me to believe they are under enormous economic pressure.
And everyone has been saying that, you know, that they've only got so much capacity.
And they're just 10 days away from filling up that capacity.
And when they fill it up, if they don't stop the drilling, it expands and it can explode, and then you've destroyed everything.
They have to turn it off.
And if they do turn it off, you can only get like 20% out of those wells for a very long time, if ever.
And so they've got to make peace before they hit capacity.
Well, I'm wondering, can somebody really explain that who knows what they're talking about?
So I'm not hearing it just from a talking head or a politician.
And what kind of capacity, how close are we to that?
And, you know, is it true that, you know, they'll destroy themselves and only have 20% capacity?
Because if all of those things are true, then that makes this negotiation more important.
And you also kind of know who you're dealing with because you're not dealing with normal politicians if they'll push this thing all the way to the destruction of their oil wells.
You're dealing with people who are suicidal.
And we should know that.
We should know that as we go to the negotiating table.
So, Tim Stewart, he is U.S. Oil and Gas Association president.
He knows these things.
I want to talk to him about that.
And also, what's coming with gas prices?
What does all of this mean?
How does he view what's happening with the choke points all around the world?
What is his view on this as somebody who does this for a living?
Tim Stewart joins me here in just a second.

Tim Stewart is the president of the U.S. Oil and Gas Association.
This is the nation's oldest oil and gas trade association, about 250 oil and gas companies and thousands of workers he represents.
He's been working on energy policy for over 30 years.
He's seen it all, and he is with us now.
When I say you've seen it all, have you seen this, Tim, on what's happening in Iran?
You know, you sometimes think you've seen it all until you read the next tweet or the next Wall Street Journal report, right, Glenn?
Exactly.
But it is largely unprecedented.
It's interesting because it's.
You know, the war plans have been built into this for 40 years, the different scenarios.
But I think all those scenarios have finally started to play out in different areas.
We're in a really interesting time right now.
We really are.
When you say starting to play out in different areas, in a good way or a bad way?
This is really interesting because what we were talking about six weeks ago is very different than what we're talking about right now.
And you let off with what's going to happen to the Iranians.
You know, the U.S. Navy has had this straight scenario for 40 years.
The Iranians have had their what do we do when we have to shut in our oil production scenario for 30 years as well.
And when I try and explain this to people, I have to remind them look, the Iranians are producing oil, they're consuming it internally in their own country, but they're also exporting.
And what we've seen over the last few days has been really interesting because the blockade has been very effective in crushing those exports and the ability for the shadow fleet to move out and to move back in.
What you're seeing in Iran right now is they're trying to look at overland routes, and so they're doing everything from Heavily subsidizing gasoline use in Iran itself, where it's 12 cents a gallon, to having fleets of dusty pickup trucks with Home Depot buckets full of crude to get it overland.
And finally, they're just burning it.
They're just literally burning it off at the wellhead.
So they are, I think that that scenario that the president talked about two weeks ago of putting the pressure on the production facilities is really starting to play out right now.
But we've got a long tail ahead of us.
So can you tell me how that?
What that means, I mean, you can't.
I mean, if you're pumping that kind of that amount of oil, you can't put it in the back of Toyota pickup trucks and Home Depot.
You're right.
How long before they have to say, we're going to have to shut some of these things down?
From what we gather, they are almost there.
They literally are.
And, and again, to remind people, oil comes out and it's it is stored in a long sort of distribution channel.
It's stored in tanks, it's stored in pipelines, it's stored in ships and trucks, and it's moved.
It's a You know, it's in a constant moving process.
And what has happened is the floating storage has obviously been shut off, which means that puts intense pressure on the tank storage or the pipeline storage.
The Carg Island situation, which handles 90% of the exports, is under intense pressure.
And so what you have to do is literally start turning the valve down on the wells.
And that's what the Iranians actually did.
The problem is that those are very old legacy fields.
And as you mentioned earlier, Those fields have water issues, they have pressure issues, they have migration issues with them.
And the Iranians know somehow what that scenario will play out, but obviously it's going to have a long term impact on their ability to ramp up to another 3 million barrels a day.
We're kind of in that end game scenario right now, I think.
And so this project freedom slash project pause, I think the president might have them in a situation where they are finally at the table for the fourth or fifth time or sixth time, but I think they really are starting to feel the heat right now.
So, can you explain?
The president said these things literally will explode if you don't, you know, if you just keep them in, you keep it open or you just shut it off or whatever.
He said they'll explode.
What is he talking about?
Well, I don't know if he's fully.
They're not going to explode, but there's pressure issues both at the wellhead and in the storage capacity.
And so oil's got to go somewhere.
When it comes out, it's got to go somewhere.
And again, the storage is at the Iranian storage is at maximum while they're trying to get their shadow fleets back in.
And the blockade shut those tankers that were already on the water from coming back in to reload.
And then you've got those that are stuck behind the blockade.
So I think when the president says they're going to explode, it's not a literal explosion.
It's just, it is sort of, implosion would probably be a better term of art, in my opinion.
Okay.
Okay.
So they're at 12 cents a gallon.
Wow.
Wouldn't that be nice?
What do we have to do?
You know, the thing that people don't understand is, you know, we're bringing up light, sweet crude, and we can't refine light, sweet crude here.
Because we're not building new refineries.
And so we still have to buy their oil, but we're kind of swapping it in a way.
We're selling our oil to someplace else, but it's still affecting people.
Is there anything that can happen that we can do to not be looking at $4, $5, $7, $10 a gallon gasoline if things don't turn around here?
Yeah.
This is a situation where the U.S. is insulated but not isolated from the global markets, you know?
And the fact is that we are now the world's largest oil producer.
But you're exactly right crude is a global commodity and it's swapped back and forth.
Our refinery industry was based around imported crude, heavy sour crude from Venezuela or Saudi Arabia.
And I have to explain to people look, my industry is segmented.
You have the oil and gas production side where we have sort of been generationally groundbreaking in our ability to produce new crude, light, sweet, like you say.
The refining industry is way behind where we are at, and that's primarily because there has been a lack of investment driven by Wall Street and others who have been told for 20 years that fossil fuel is not the future anymore.
And so being able to secure a billion dollar loan to upgrade a refinery has been very difficult.
They're lagging far behind us.
And so what you have is this scenario where crude is being swapped, like you say.
But I think a situation like this will have a generational change in how crude is produced, how it gets to market, and what it is turned into.
And we've seen that here in the United States with the Venezuelan scenario where we're now taking in a half a million barrels a day, and that crude is being processed on the Gulf refineries, but it's being turned into refined product that is making its way to both the U.S. market, Central and South America, and now European markets.
That's changing, and the refining industry itself is starting to realize that they, one, they are now have a global market, whereas it was more North American.
But equally important, I think Wall Street is realizing that fossil energy is going to be a long term investment.
That's why you saw the Indians invest in a massive new refinery for light sweet crude in Texas in Brownsville about a month and a half ago.
It's really interesting.
There's a generational change that's underway.
When you say, Have I seen it all?
I haven't seen this.
I didn't anticipate OPEC starting to crack last week.
I didn't anticipate UAE with a million and a half barrel extra capacity saying we're going to walk away from those OPEC quotas.
It's going to be really interesting.
The problem is the physics are always the same, which is you have one barrel of oil which turns into 42 gallons of something.
Be that gasoline or diesel or jet fuel.
And right now, the math is really difficult for, and the physics is difficult for where that is turned into and where it goes.
Again, it's a, and the final challenge is we're looking at a 450 million barrel global shortfall right now.
So there's a long tail as to how and when that shortfall is made up.
Tim, let me ask you a really difficult question.
People's perception is that we fight.
Wars for oil.
Some of that probably is true.
Some of it is not.
We are, I believe, fighting this war for energy and who leads the world.
And I think he is, if you look at the choke points he's been after, he is setting us up to be the OPEC of the world, quite honestly, and have the world come to us for oil.
And we control all of that, which is really America first.
With that being said, people see that the gas prices go up.
And they're paying more and more and more.
And, you know, the oil companies from America are going to benefit from this.
They're just going to benefit from this.
Is it, has anyone ever said, you know, in these situations, hey, is there a way to give the American people a break here and maybe turn our profits down just a little bit and give a break to the American people and just selfishly so they don't hate our guts?
And think that we're just a bunch of rich people that are just getting richer on their suffering?
Have you ever heard talk like that?
Yeah, I get asked that question in that form 100 times a day, to be honest with you.
And it's difficult because, again, with the industry being bifurcated like it is, the majority of my members of the US Oil and Gas Association are small independent producers.
We're like farmers.
It's like you when you send the cows.
When you send the cows to auction, you don't set the auction price, the auction does.
The industry itself, and this is really important, I try to explain this to people that we prefer stable prices more than anything.
And those prices need to be in that $67 to $85 a barrel range.
And the reason why is because that's predictable for us.
It allows us to do long term planning to capitalize on, when you have to capitalize a multi billion dollar project, you need that stability.
And these wild swings are horrible for us.
And we don't want that.
And so when the president says, well, I want oil at $50 a barrel, well, that puts intense pressure on our Our sort of golden goose, which is the shale industry, you know, because we actually need $65 a barrel.
But I think when we're in that range, or you can't pull it out, you lose money pulling it out.
Reagan, we went through this in the 80s with Reagan.
But anyway, go ahead.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And anything above 90 is horrible too, because, you know, nobody's going to invest in these wild pricings.
I mean, today's a good example.
We're up $10, we're down $10.
It's hard for us to plan for that.
And above 90, our prices for production go up as well.
So the Goldilocks zone is there in that 70 to 90, which translates into that.
$2.95, $3.15 a gallon for gas.
And that's where people seem to be able to function well.
To your point, though, sorry, but to your point is what can be done to immediate relief?
Keep in mind that the price of crude is one portion of what you're paying at the pump.
The federal and the state and local taxes are the other.
And California adds another $1.65 on top of it.
And the lowest is Alaska, which is like 29 cents.
The most immediate thing that could probably be done is have the states themselves look about Look at what they're charging and adjust those fees, adjust those taxes, or waive them, or do a holiday or something like that.
And that brings some immediate relief.
But again, the problem is that relief only lasts as long as we don't get a $20 spike in crude the next day because of a tweet or because of a drone strike.
We're in a really tough spot right now.
Look, I filled up yesterday.
It sucks.
Pump Price Breakdown00:14:29
And I've noticed, and nobody wants to be pushing low and moderate income families into energy poverty.
My industry hates that.
We want them to be able to afford food and gas.
And so that's where we're at.
Let me take a quick break.
I want to come back with one more question here.
We're talking to Tim Stewart, president of the Oil and Gas Association.
First, let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com.
You know, I don't want to toot my own horn here, but sometimes I'm just right.
Nobody thought it was possible.
Everyone said the guy's a freak.
He's a freak on a taco and no way he could be right.
I'm right.
I've been right.
I had mediocre real estate agents and, uh, And I had them over and over again.
And then I started doing homework.
I started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal, and found out that there's actually a system there's good real estate agents and bad.
And the ones who are good real estate agents, they all are kind of cut from the same cloth.
So I started looking for those kinds of people and vetting them and working with them and putting them together.
And now I can just recommend those kinds of real estate agents to you.
There's no obligation, I don't charge you for this.
You just call us to tell us where you're moving to and from.
We'll find the right real estate agent.
You interview them.
If you don't like them, don't use them.
No skin off my nose or yours.
It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
We'll show you how you can buy or sell a home in a really tough market pretty easily.
It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

10 seconds, station ID.
Tim Stewart, if things are solved, let's say, in the next four weeks and it goes back and the straight is open and we're past all this stuff, how fast does the gas price come down at the pump?
Do we see it this summer?
I do think you see it this summer, particularly in the United States, because again, we're insulated but not isolated and we have the supply here.
You mentioned exports earlier.
We're at record exports as well because we're trying to help our European and our Asian allies mitigate this particular risk.
With the straight opens, then they can get their supply from the Gulf and other places.
And that then puts downward pricing pressure on the United States.
And that's what we'd like.
We want that as soon as we possibly can.
Again, you don't want to be producing something that nobody can afford to buy.
It's the worst case scenario for us in the industry right now.
And you already answered this question.
I was going to say, how low, you know, the president said it could be the lowest.
It could be the lowest ever.
But that's not actually true because, again, I learned this in the 80s.
You start pricing it too low and you can't actually pull it out of the ground.
I mean, there is cost to pulling everything out of the ground and getting it refined.
So you're thinking that it in the $2 to $3 range would be like a good place to get to?
Yeah.
I mean, I think, you know, $285 to $315 is where everybody's happy and most of our guys are making money, you know, and that's a pretty fair price.
You want a growing economy, which then needs energy to be able to fuel it.
You don't want demand collapse where gas is cheap, but nobody.
Working right, and so again, this is Goldilocks zone while trying to get in.
We jokingly refer to it as the Raptor and Boat Zone, which is if I stay in that 70 to 90, my workers are going to be able to afford you know a Raptor at the end of the year because it's been good.
Anything less than that is bad, anything more than that is bad.
So don't quote me on that, that's what we say internally.
All right, so well, you just said it.
So, God bless you.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
It's great being with you, Glenn.
Thanks for your time.
You bet, Tim Stewart, uh, from the U.S. Oil and Gas Association.
So, I think that's a really good look at what's happening and what we can expect.
Don't expect things to be 12 cents a gallon like apparently it is in Iran right now.
Can you imagine that?
And don't expect it to be $10 a gallon.
And I think he just gave you some homework.
If you want gas prices to go down, why aren't we calling our governors, our state and local officials, and saying, give us a holiday?
For the summer, give us a tax holiday.
Get rid of the state and local taxes on gas.
Seems reasonable.
Z Factor.
Hopefully, there's just a little bit of justice in the world.
Anthony Fauci is currently out of Z Factor before he goes to bed.
And hopefully, he's got, well, I shouldn't say this.
Yeah, I can.
I hope he's got some pain in his life.
You know, at least some sleepless nights.
You know, I wouldn't like it to be from pain.
I just like it to be from his conscience.
You know, you kill that many people.
Maybe.
You should have some tough times getting to sleep.
We're just a few days away.
We're trying to get Rand Paul on before the end of the week because he's been on this.
We're running out of time with Fauci.
Anyway, good night's sleep will change everything.
Don't be Anthony Fauci.
Sleep.
Sleep well.
Don't kill millions of people and you'll probably be able to sleep better.
But if you can't sleep, you know, because of other things, not killing people, Relief Factor is where you go.
Get real good night's sleep.
It's for Z Factor.
It's a sleep supplement made from the makers of Relief Factor.

If you want your kids to know America's real story, you need to listen to the American Story Podcast.
Torch Insiders get 10 episodes now at glendeck.comslash torch.
So there are so many stories on government waste right now, and you can forget the cartoon image of somebody, you know, stuffing cash into a briefcase.
We are finding fraud now in things labeled compassionate care and community services.
And the latest is coming from Ohio.
And what we have found in a red state, mind you, what we're finding is massive, massive fraud that is happening with our tax dollars.
Again, in a red state, which I think is really important.
We're finding them now in red states because a lot of the blue states are not participating.
The federal government is saying, turn over all your records.
We want to see where all this money is going.
And the blue states are not doing it.
So we're now looking into the red states.
And I'm glad because I, for one, I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat.
You're stealing from me, the taxpayer.
I want you in jail.
I want this to stop and I want you in jail.
But let me.
Let me explain something to you on why this is so good and a gift, quite honestly, to JD Vance and quite honestly, all the politicians as well.
The U.S. dollar has reserve status, it's the world's reserve currency.
And that is not some abstract thing, that is the foundation of all American power.
It lets us borrow cheaply, cheaper than anybody else in the world.
It influences global trade.
It projects strength without immediate consequences.
It, quite honestly, lets us get away with some things that no other country could get away with.
But you might have heard that the dollar might collapse at some point, okay?
Because we've just, we've taken this privilege and we've just bastardized it, okay?
And we've done it by out of control debt and spending.
So I've been thinking this week about, I told you yesterday about choke points.
And I told you this is what the president is doing with Iran and everything else.
This is, he is rebuilding energy to make America the energy leader in the world.
Because we all know energy is going to get tougher and tougher.
You better be the one that everybody comes to.
Why let anybody else have it when we can be the leader?
And it's changing right now.
That's part of the strategy to save America.
And none of this will make sense.
If you are for managed decline, I'm not.
I want America to grow and be dominant in the world.
I don't want to be a bully or anything else, but I do want our principles to lead the world and at least be strong here in this country and then lead by example.
We have to save the dollar.
We have to save our industry.
We have to save energy.
We have to come up with the new invention, the new AI.
We have to lead that.
or we will be out and our children will be out.
And when you talk about a falling dollar, people, you don't, nobody really understands this.
People don't understand that if our dollar collapses, we are eating zoo animals within a month.
And that's not an overstatement.
If we lose the dollar as the world's reserve currency, we have nothing but massive debt.
Okay.
So how does your bank work?
When you go in to get a loan, You need a good credit score.
Okay.
You have good credit, you get a lower interest rate because you're a lower risk for the bank.
You have bad credit, you have a high interest rate.
You want better credit.
What do you do?
You have to pay off loans, you have to pay them on time, you have to reduce your spending.
And then you go back to the bank and they're like, okay, you're serious about this.
All right, maybe.
Okay.
That's how it works for you.
But everybody thinks the United States government is different because, well, we can print money.
Well, yes, except you're borrowing that money still from a bank.
It just happens to be the central bank, it happens to be the Federal Reserve.
But they're not the ones with the cash.
We have to go constantly and sell government bonds because we have loans of $40 trillion that just keep coming up for renewal.
You know, we got a 20 year loan, haven't paid it off.
Okay, well, in 20 years, that's come and due.
We got to sell it again.
If we haven't paid it off, we got to sell it to somebody else.
And we're not paying any of these things off.
We're adding to our debt.
So people don't look at us now as a safe risk.
They're looking at buying our bonds and they're like, these guys aren't serious at all.
They're not cutting down their budget.
In fact, they're doubling their spending.
I don't think so.
And so it's getting harder and harder to sell our loans.
Or, you know, what's really called bonds.
It's hard.
People don't want them.
So you have to find a way to get a better credit score so we can have lower interest rates because we're now, because interest rates have gone up, our government is now paying higher interest rates at a trillion dollars a year just on interest alone.
That's crippling, not sustainable.
So we need lower interest rates.
How do you get that?
Well, you do it like you would do it you get your spending under control.
You You look more responsible.
You show the banks that, no, no, we're serious about this this time.
So that takes you to how do you do that?
Well, that would require two things.
That would require our politicians to cut spending.
Odds that's going to happen?
Zero.
Odds that we go into austerity by choice?
Zero.
Why?
Because it's not popular with any of the politicians.
They're not going to do it.
They're not going to do it.
They're going to cut.
You really think, tell me the politician's going to come to you and say, you know what, we need to cut Social Security and Medicare and some of these forever programs.
We have to cut those because that's all that matters, really, are those things.
We're not going to do it.
Never are we going to do it.
No politician will do it until it is so bad, we have to do it.
Okay.
Because we're all broke.
And by that time, nobody wins.
So, if that's a fact that government will never do that, how do we get a lower interest rate?
How do we fix ourselves?
There's only two things.
One, grow the economy.
That's Donald Trump's view.
Grow the economy.
That means dominate in AI, that means dominate in energy, that means dominate in every way we possibly can.
Make things here and sell them to other people.
Grow the economy.
Stop being just a buyer of stuff.
Start selling stuff to everybody else.
That will grow the economy and that will make our debt more in line.
It's like you getting a second job or you just getting a better job and getting a huge raise.
Now, all of a sudden, that debt you had that you couldn't afford now it looks little, but that's still not enough.
We also have to cut.
That's where it comes in on all of this corruption.
All of the corruption.
Look at our debt, because facts don't lie.
Our gross national debt is $39 trillion, with debt held by the public exceeding 100% of the GDP, first time since World War II.
The projected deficit for this year alone is $1.9 trillion.
Net interest payments on the debt, trillion dollars a year.
That crowds out everything, including defense spending.
That's the money we're paying just to the bank to borrow the money.
Trillion Dollar Debt00:05:48
Everybody's watching this.
Everybody's like, no, I don't think so.
We still are about 58% of all global reserves are US dollars, but that gets smaller and smaller.
The share keeps slowly slipping.
Okay.
And if it keeps doing this, then.
We're going to lose our dollar, and de dollarization is really, really ugly.
Okay.
So, we're doing the natural gas thing and the oil thing.
We're pumping out more than we ever have.
We're securing all of the rare earth and critical minerals.
We're bringing in, what does Donald Trump say it is?
$20?
Let's just say it's $12 trillion in building of factories here in America.
We're going to start building things again.
We have international partnerships.
We are strangling the supply routes and controlling the supply routes.
These are not side issues.
This is about growing the economy.
Now, what the GAO has just found, it's the nonpartisan watchdog, federal agencies have reported $186 billion in improper payments in fiscal year 2025 alone.
$186 billion.
That's almost a quarter of a trillion dollars of what we found alone in Medicare and Medicaid errors.
Imagine the stuff that are not errors.
And that report is the tip of the iceberg.
The broader estimates show the government loses between a quarter of a trillion dollars and half a trillion dollars every single year.
across all kinds of different programs based on years of data.
So the improper payments since, I think it's 2018, four-year period, is about $2 trillion, just under $2 trillion.
It is everywhere, especially after the pandemic, hundreds of billions of dollars.
If JD Vance takes this assignment from the president seriously and he aggressively roots this out better audits, AI technology, prosecutions, clawbacks, smarter program design, shutting some things off we could get back a trillion dollars a year in savings.
That's math.
You cut a trillion dollars annually from our waste, and suddenly our deficit shrinks, and the banks go, Oh, they're serious.
You don't have to go into austerity.
You've just cut a trillion dollars.
As long as the politicians don't go, We just saved a trillion dollars.
Now we can spend a trillion more.
No, your debt stabilizes.
Your interest costs stop exploding.
Confidence surges in the banks and the bond markets.
But more importantly with us, this is the secret of this.
If we could get serious about the fraud, if we could get serious about all of the waste in government, and we could be between half a trillion and a trillion dollars a year, that changes the game because the politicians win.
And let's be honest, that's the only thing they care about.
They don't care about you, they care about their win.
And every politician that comes and says, I just found all this waste and we've cut a trillion dollars, which means it's going to be easier for you to buy a house, gas is going to cost less, your children have more of a future, and I don't have to cut your social security today because we just cut a trillion dollars out of waste.
They win.
They win.
This is not a straw man argument or a pipe dream.
This is data.
This is math.
Okay.
You save the nation.
You save the dollar.
You let the politicians win.
They take the win.
I don't really care.
You're the one that wins.
You're the one that wins here.
I'm telling you, this is the strategy that I think Donald Trump is going for, giving JD Vance the opportunity to seize.
It's really going to be up to him.
He has the ability, he has the power.
The president has given him this power.
Go root out corruption.
If he would take this idea and say, I have a plan for my presidency, I'm going to reduce the deficit because I'm rooting all of this out.
There's not going to be a dime that is wasted.
I won't have to cut, at least as I'm the next four years, because you're going to see a dramatic increase because we're going to continue doing the things we're doing to build our energy and everything else in this country and AI.
So you're going to see the revenues of the United States go up.
We're going to be a stronger nation building different things.
And we're going to be a cleaner government that is not wasting a trillion dollars a year.
Deficit Reduction Plan00:02:22
That is a clear victory for everyone.
Everyone.
Why am I not hearing more talk about this?
Why am I not hearing any talk about this?
Because I think this is how you lead for the next hundred years.
And I just like a politician to say, yep, I like that idea.
Let's get it done.
More in a minute.
Let me tell you about the Bernal Launcher.
The best way to approach situations that crop up in life is to have a plan.
And when you've all thought out everything that can possibly happen, you prepared yourself for the possibilities, you're usually going to come out better the other side, especially true when it comes to life threatening situations.
The Bernal Launcher is a non lethal alternative to safeguarding your home.
It's legal in all 50 states, no permits, background checks required, and can be used for all age groups over 18.
I told you a story recently.
My daughter, she's 20, she was being followed.
She was taking a friend to the hospital.
She was really sick.
She was taking her friend to the hospital.
It was like midnight.
And she's on the way, and somebody starts following her and follows her every turn, every lane on the highway, all the way.
And she immediately does the right thing.
She goes to the police station.
And as soon as they get to the police station, he stops for a second, looks in the car, and then drives away.
She called me the next day.
She said, Dad, I'll never be without my burner launcher again.
And I said, thank you.
That's what the burner launcher is for.
That's what it's for.
Burn a launcher.
It's exactly what you need when you need it.
Berna Launcher.
They're now offering $100 off the Berna LE Gen 2.

Supreme Court Secrets00:02:50
By the way, anybody tells you the Supreme Court is political, you can tell them, yeah, they are.
Listen to this.
Looks like the Supreme Court decided the Louisiana case last October.
That should have been made public immediately, which would have changed everything.
Justice Alito writes, constitutional question was argued and conferenced nearly seven months ago.
They don't usually do that.
That means they waited an unusually long time.
And to whose benefit is that?
The Democrats, the leftists.
So stop preaching about how great this Supreme Court is for the MAGA right.
They just did you a massive favor and held this back for seven months.
We lock our cars, we set our alarms, we install cameras, but there is one thing most people don't even realize can be stolen, and that is the title of your home.
Criminals can forge documents.
They can file them online.
They can make it look like your property is theirs.
And from there, they can try to take out loans against it.
And you may not know anything about it until the collection agencies and the bank notices start showing up and then the sheriff.
By then, you're the one trying to prove you didn't do something that was wrong.
You didn't even know it was happening.

Ted Turner Dies00:04:18
We're glad you're here.
The guy who pioneered, was a real pioneer in cable news and cable television, the guy who started Superstation WTBS, Ted Turner, has died.
And the good news is he's locked up all of that land so no one can use it for all generations to come.
I hate people who rule beyond the grave, but that's what he did.
But he has died.
He was, you know, from all accounts, he was.
Very philanthropic.
He was a genius at television and he made an impact, good or bad, on the country.
Made some good things and some bad things.
So, passing of Ted Turner.
All right, let me talk to you a little bit about something we have been trying to get to here for the last couple of weeks, and that is the kill switch.
Did you know that during the Biden administration, the government and car manufacturers got together and said, hey, let's put a kill switch in everybody's car?
So, if your car decides that you are not stable enough to drive, it will be able to measure what's happening with your blood pressure and everything else just by your eyes.
If you're too tired, if you're drunk, whatever, too stressed out, the car won't start.
The car won't go in to drive.
I don't know.
There's a couple of problems with that.
And one is who owns my car, me or the government?
I mean, what's next?
You're going to drive me to the police station if I, you know, if I, if I, Decide to question Fauci and don't laugh, that absolutely would happen.
That absolutely would happen.
So, somebody who's been fighting against this and trying to get people to wake up, but no Republican or Democrat hardly will sign on to this bill to kill the kill switch.
Also, the U visa wait until you hear about this visa and how it's being abused.

My good friend from Washington, D.C., I shouldn't say that, who is in Washington, D.C., he's from Texas.
Nobody wants to be from Washington, D.C., Chip Roy.
Hello, Chip.
How are you?
Glenn, great to be with you.
Yeah, thanks for that correction.
That was important.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
How's the campaign going?
When do you vote?
Early voting is on May 18th, Election Day is May 26th.
It just Not quite three weeks from now.
Campaign's going great.
Crisscrossing the state of Texas.
I was in Houston on Monday, San Antonio last night.
Fredericksburg today and Georgetown and then Longview and then Dallas, Fort Worth, Denton.
Weatherford going to Midland or Dessa Saturday, all the way out to Alpine to see some folks out there.
We're going to cover the state and put a lot of miles on the truck.
But a lot of good folks out there, and the short version is they want somebody who's practiced law, who's been a prosecutor, who's been there, who's got a proven track record.
And we're selling that message to the people of Texas.
And I will tell you, you've proven yourself in Washington, D.C. to be a man of principle and take a stand.
Let's talk about the kill switch here for a second.
People are just starting to discover something that happened during the Biden administration.
Government Power Abuse00:15:06
Can you explain this?
Yeah, this is something I've been fighting for a long time.
My good friend and colleague Scott Perry carries the legislation to repeal it.
My friend Thomas Massey has been an outspoken advocate for it.
All of us have carried amendments in various forms over the last several years.
So, about five years ago, four years ago, maybe, I can't remember the year.
I'd have to go check.
You know, they passed as part of the larger legislation.
I think it was a transportation bill, a provision in there that required, required, it was a specific mandate for rulemaking to put in automobiles.
Technology to prevent people from driving who might be impaired.
Now, this was passed in the name of trying to prevent people from driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
But the issue is that means you're putting expensive technology, upwards of several thousand dollars, increasing the cost of automobiles into cars that is surveilling you by definition.
Now, they will say, oh, don't worry about it.
It's just checking eye movement, it's not collecting data, it's not going to be used against you.
Well, yes, it is.
I mean, first of all, you're going to then prevent, let's say you're a woman being chased by somebody and you run into your car and you're nervous and frenetic and scared and you want to start your car and you can't start your car.
Like, it's mind blowing that we would allow that to occur rather than just saying, look, if you're caught drinking and driving, you lose your license for 10 years and pay a $10,000 fine.
Like, there are ways to do things to make sure that you follow the law.
We've been winning that battle on drunk driving, but now we're going to put this kind of technology, which by the way, Will be expansive in terms of its surveillance capability.
You are effectively putting cameras in your car to track your movements, track what you're doing, and no doubt record what you're doing and then ultimately be used against you in something to me that is nefarious with respect to the Fourth Amendment.
I mean, this is, you know, it's dystopia.
I mean, you really can't believe that we're allowing the very things that were predicted in 1984 and other, you know, Ways and we're now going, oh, yeah, let's just do this, let's just go ahead, let's give all the power to the government.
Look, this is why I've been arguing to say we need more reforms in FISA.
We got some good reforms two years ago, uh, but we need to go further for more warrant protections.
And look, I was sitting in the Oval Office having this conversation with the president, and I don't talk about private conversations, but he is rightly trying to balance as commander in chief the need for 702 to go get information on bad actors abroad with the need to protect our privacy here, and he wants to get that balance.
I have an obligation to look beyond the current president and to say the Constitution needs to make sure that we, as Congress, as a voice, are standing up in defense of private citizens from having government that is surveilling them.
FISA has warrantless surveillance.
Now they want to create a central bank digital currency, which we passed legislation to try to ban.
And now you've got the kill switch that's about to be implemented next year surveillance technology in your car.
All of this is adding up to constant surveillance of the American people.
In violation of not just the spirit, but I believe the letter of the Fourth Amendment.
And this should be concerning to everybody, and we should be trying to stop it.
I have to tell you, I would throw in, you know, the Third Amendment is always overlooked.
You can't quarter soldiers in somebody's home.
And everybody's like, well, we got that one done.
I think this is also a violation of the Third Amendment because the government, it's not a physical person, but they have their eyes on your info.
That's why they didn't want you to quarter people in because they were going through your stuff.
They were watching you all the time.
That's what that was trying to stop.
This is watching you all the time.
This is looking through your information.
This is such a violation of the Fourth and I think the Third Amendment.
It's crazy what we're doing.
Crazy.
Yeah, Glenn, this is something that I hope all your listeners listen to and take to heart that they need to be concerned about this.
And you want to probably move on to other topics, but I'll just leave with this.
We tried to amend the FISA with the central bank digital currency.
We did so successfully with some modest reforms to FISA, sent it to the Senate.
The Senate wouldn't take it up.
So we ended up passing a 45 day extension.
Some of us, I offered an amendment to kill the kill switch.
Well, that was ruled non germane.
Well, it's technically non germane in a sort of legislative drafting sense.
But it's totally germane to the tyrannical surveillance of the American people.
So I'm going to keep fighting to find vehicles to try to move those things.
So is Scott Perry.
So is Thomas Massey.
So are others who believe in liberty.
But the American people need to be advised of this and they need to harangue their members of Congress into making sure they prioritize this because 57 members of Congress voted against our bill or our amendment, sorry, last year to kill the kill switch on appropriations.
57.
57 Republicans.
You wouldn't happen to have a list of those names that I could get and tweet those names out.
Happy to send them to you.
Okay, good.
Please do.
I don't understand it.
And I don't understand FISA.
You know, FISA was written in the 70s to be the fix, to be able to say, okay, the government is spying.
So we have to have some balance.
So we're going to put a FISA court in there.
This was to stop the government from abusing power.
And now it is the source of the abuse of power.
There's just no way to limit you open these doors.
There's no way to limit these people, they'll just keep taking.
Well, Glenn, I like to give credit where it's due.
And my colleague, Michael Cloud, a good man and one of the best members of Congress, he's kind of my opposite in terms of his demeanor.
He's Mr. Levelheaded and just out there, and he doesn't go to the floor as much.
I'm out there throwing bombs on the House floor.
But we are brothers in our belief in conservatism and limited government.
He's a big champion of banning the central bank digital currency.
Michael came into one of our Republican meetings a few weeks back.
And he said to everybody, he said, guys, the intelligence community never walks in and says, hey, we have all of this power and we are able to use this power to collect lots of information.
And you know what?
Today we decided we're going to give back half our power.
Here you go.
That literally never happens.
So we, as members of Congress, have a duty to require it when we're putting together funding that we're taking from taxpayers and unfortunately borrowing to fund all of this nonsense.
And there's always a reason when your guy is the guy as the commander in chief in the executive branch, then everybody goes, oh, I guess I can't do it.
Let me give you an example.
Jamie Raskin, right?
Very liberal Democrat from Maryland.
Jamie puts himself out as a big defender of the Constitution.
Jamie was on the floor of the House when we had an amendment vote on a warrant protection on FISA two years ago when Joe Biden was in the office.
Jamie ultimately didn't vote with us to require a warrant protection amendment.
Because it was Joe Biden in the White House.
And I'm not, like, I disagree with Jamie, and I'm happy to, you know, punch him on a lot of different issues.
Whatever, yeah.
I'm not here to disparage him on that.
I'm trying to make the case there are Republicans right now who are like, well, I guess I've got to be more careful now because our guy is in the White House.
I agree.
I want to give the president power to do the right thing, but I don't agree that we should not be blind.
Like here, I'm sorry, that we should be blind.
Principles are universal.
Principles are universal no matter who is in power.
Correct.
Okay, can we talk about the?
Let me take a one minute break and come back.
And I want to, because you're going after the U visa.
I didn't even know what this was until you brought this up.
The U visa, I mean, we keep coming up with ways to get people to come in and just live off us.
I mean, it's amazing.
You think Congress doesn't do anything?
Oh, no, they do stuff.
They do lots of stuff.
None of it is good for the country, but they do lots of stuff.
The End U Visa Abuse Act, he has just introduced.
We'll talk to Chip Roy about that here in just a second.
That's not going to improve your mood much.
First, let me tell you about leaf filter.
When your wife tells you to go clean out the leaves from the gutter, you only have two choices you get the ladder out of the garage and you do it, or you quickly pack everything up in a single suitcase and you light out for the territories and go start a new family someplace else.
I mean, the second one might be a little more trouble, but you're not climbing up on a ladder until that new family says, get the ladder.
And then you got to do it all over again.
Don't ignore this problem.
Make it easy.
Don't ever get up on a ladder again.
It's just dangerous, and there's just an easier way to do it.

You know, I'm convinced our biggest problems in this country are not the laws that we have or anything else.
It's the abuse of everything.
You know, the FISA court is not the problem.
It's the abuse of the FISA court.
The U visa, this is a visa that you get if you say, I was a victim of a certain kind of crime.
I'll let him define this here for a second.
Certain kind of crime.
And so we say, oh, come on in.
You're a huddled mass.
Let me help you yearn to breathe free.
And it is maybe at the beginning, maybe it was a good idea.
I don't know.
But now massive growth.
Guess when it started to grow out of control?
2009.
Now 400,000 pending applications.
We can't keep up with it.
And he is, Chip Roy is trying to stop it.
He's just introduced the End U-Visa Abuse Act to Congress.
What are the conditions that will allow you to get this?
Well, this was one that has flown under the radar for a lot of people.
And, you know, my staff has been working on this for about six months.
Just, you know, we knew it existed, but, you know, I didn't really dive into it.
We had a case in Austin where one of our citizens here, not my constituent, but very close, real nice guy.
And he was a victim of being targeted by an illegal alien for a false accusation of crime.
And that was done so that that individual, the illegal alien, could.
Claim status and get a U visa to stay in the United States as a crime victim.
And this is the problem it's a perverse incentive.
And there are other, you know, pieces, you know, other statutes or other laws that give people the ability to stay here if, for example, they're a witness to crime.
Say you're an illegal alien and you know about a gang member, cartel, fentanyl, and you're coming in as a witness to say, hey, these bad guys are doing XYZ.
We've got provisions in the law for them to be able to stay an extended period or get a visa for a period of time.
But so there's no real need for this, by the way.
But it was created in a do gooder kind of huddled masses approach that you just described.
And so now we've got thousands of cases where people are trying to apply to these U visas.
And we've had numerous examples of fraud that are uncovered by the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security, who, by the way, Inspector General Kufari has been a rock star, a champion all through the Biden years.
He was getting targeted, harassed.
They tried to fire him because he was exposing all of the horrors under Alejandro Mayorkas in the Biden administration.
He's still doing a great job over there identifying some of these programs that are ripe for abuse because Congress is always passing laws and creating new programs that can ultimately be abused.
Chip, I'm going to start asking people who are running for any office two questions.
And I want to present these to you as the first person.
If you win as Attorney General, will you go after.
All corruption, graft, and fraud, even no matter what party is responsible for it, and go after it with everything in you to root it out and to stop it and to put these people in jail.
Yes, unequivocally.
And I'll tell you how, unless you want to go to your second question first.
No, go ahead.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Well, this is partly why there's a significant number of people in the Austin Swamp who are opposing me.
And it's because they know that I'm going to bring a fresh view to the Austin Swamp.
And it is every bit as swampy as the Washington swamp.
Don't kid yourself.
One party rule.
They might be on our side of the ideological spectrum, but it has a way of corrupting.
And so they know I'm going to come in and pursue truth wherever it may lead.
I will go after NGOs and nonprofits.
I will go after every government dollar.
I've already talked to Don Huffines, who's going to be our comptroller candidate.
I want to open up all the books.
I want to know where the money came from.
I want to know where the money's going.
Because if you follow the money, you're going to find the corruption.
And we need to do that in Austin and D.C. Doge is a good sounding concept, and I support it.
I want to doge Austin too.
But you need the power of the Office of the Attorney General, who has power on public corruption, to pursue all of this, to expose it.
Because we have got to stop empowering people to be able to use taxpayer money in their offices, to be able to carry out policies, programs, and all sorts of grift, and do it in a way that is undermining the strength of the state of Texas, not just across the country.
It's real right here in Texas, and I will absolutely go after it as Attorney General.
So, the second question is Will you use your office, your powers to do everything you can to stop Sharia law from becoming reality in the state of Texas and the United States of America?
Stopping Sharia Law00:07:51
Yeah, Glenn, and this is probably the single most important issue we face.
And you and I have talked about it on your show.
We are big believers and staunch defenders, and we'll die on the Hill to defend our rights given to us by God that were codified in the Bill of Rights, but they're not given to us by the Bill of Rights.
I think it's really important.
People need to remember that.
They are our rights.
And our Constitution was the first document to recognize that and put it down in print form in the Bill of Rights.
But absolutely, I'm going to stop the advance of the Islamification of the state of Texas, the Islamification of the United States.
This is a political ideology masquerading behind the First Amendment in order to carry out a jihad against the West.
And again, I'm not judging any one individual, I am judging a movement that wants to destroy Western civilization.
As Charlie Kirk said, Islam is not compatible with Western civilization and Sharia has no place here.
As Attorney General, I will root it out.

We just had a fascinating conversation here during the commercial break about progressives.
And Ricky said, Do these politicians ever think ahead?
All of the FISA court, it started as protection, and now look what it's doing.
It's destructive.
The kill switch, it starts for drunk driving, but look what it's going to turn into.
Yeah, I think the progressives absolutely do look at the future.
They look at all these things and go, how can we get this in?
How can we get this past the Constitution?
What reasonable thing can we get it in through the front door or even in through a side window that will develop over time?
Progressivism that we can use to squash freedom.
And make no mistakes.
You know, people who call themselves progressive, read up on what progressivism is.
You're progressing to what?
Progressing to what?
Well, at least now they're saying it communism or socialism.
That's what they're progressing to.
And by the way, socialism is check Marx, socialism is the step in between capitalism and communism.
It's not a destination.
As I think Marx said, it's a train.
It's a train.
It's the train that takes you between the two.
So that's what they're for.
Okay.
That's what they've always been for.
And don't believe the lies.
It's really time everybody puts their big boy pants on and understands.
And you stop letting your empathy and your goodness be used against you.
I just wrote some stuff.
We're going to give it out to torch members here in a few weeks.
And then it'll come to you.
But I'm going to start just doing.
Prototype kind of stuff and see if it's useful.
And we're just testing it on the guinea pigs that are the torchbearers.
Because, you know, the torch is about education.
That's what it's supposed to be about.
It's not about the show and the information, although that is important.
It is about education.
Educate yourself on what's happening in the world today.
Know what's true, what's not true.
We'll show you how to figure out what's true.
We will give you all of the Background information and all the original documents.
We will go deeper on certain subjects, but also to teach true eternal principles that founded the country.
We have to know the Bill of Rights.
We have to know the Bill of Rights.
And, you know, we keep having these things turned around on us.
What freedom of speech?
I'm just sorry, it's in my mind because I was up till at least one last night writing this.
And it's on the The First Amendment, the first lesson plan is going to be on how you teach your kids about the Bill of Rights.
And the First Amendment, there are five things.
One is religion.
And people will say, you can't go against Sharia law.
That's religion.
No, it's not.
That is a replacement of our laws.
That is going into what our government is supposed to have charge of.
You want to have something in your faith, that's fine.
You can do whatever you want in your faith.
You can pray any way you want.
You do whatever you want.
But not when you start encroaching on the things that keep people free.
You're now entering what our government is supposed to do.
And our government is supposed to make sure that they protect human rights first.
And anything that stands against human rights and starts to encroach on the role of the government is antithetical.
And that is not a religious thing.
You don't have a right to do that.
The Catholics wouldn't have a right.
The Mormons wouldn't have a right to do it.
Nobody has a right to do it.
Okay?
You know, Utah.
Couldn't join the union until the Mormons said, okay, no more polygamy.
Why?
Because that was the law in the United States of America.
You want to be in the United States of America, then you have to follow the law.
Period.
That's exactly what needs to be said about Sharia law.
Stop letting your goodness that has been used against you and your misunderstanding of our rights.
Stop having that used against you.
They're playing us.
Follow The Law00:10:39
We were just talking about that U visa.
What is that?
We see somebody who has maybe been raped, they're a victim of a crime, and they say, I got to get out of here because crime is out of control, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, that's a good thing, but there's nothing backing any of that up.
It's your claim.
Well, we just know who would claim that.
Well, a lot of people would claim that to come here.
400,000 people are applying for a U visa because it's their way to get in.
And what a surprise that number just ballooned in 2009.
Clowered and pivot.
Stop it.
You know, I gave this speech at Ellis Island.
And by the way, Ricky told me she was getting her hair done and she's talking to this guy who's doing her hair on Saturday for the event.
And he said, Where's your event?
And she said, Ellis Island.
And he said, He's from.
New York.
He grew up in New York.
He said, what's Ellis Island?
Okay.
Well, I don't know.
Please do not ever talk about anything but hair because I don't even know how you got here.
If you've lived in New York your whole life and you don't know what Ellis Island is.
Anyway, so we were doing this thing at Ellis Island and I said, we have to understand how we have always traditionally viewed immigration.
It's not a suicide pack.
We're not a hospital.
You're not coming here because, oh, I'm so broken.
I just need a place where I can crash on your couch.
No, get off of my couch.
Now, maybe there are some that we go, you know what?
Let them crash on the couch.
Let them get their breath because they've been so abused or they've just come out of Cuba.
Yes, let them come in.
Let them come in.
But then we expect you to do something with your life.
No, no, no, no.
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
Bring the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Who in their right mind runs a country and says, you know what we really need to make our country great?
The wretched refuse.
You know, all those people that are the huddled masses that are just so tired and broken and they're poor and they got nothing going for them.
Let's bring those people in.
How stupid are you to think that's what that means?
You really have to be an imbecile to believe that's what it means, but that's the way it's interpreted.
Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.
Uh-huh.
Why would we say that?
Why?
It shows you have a complete misunderstanding or lack of even desire to try to understand that.
Go back to the original poem.
This is what the original poem says.
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame.
Who is that?
What is that?
That's the Colossus of Rhodes that used to hold a torch.
His leg was on one port and his other leg was on the other port, and the ships would come underneath.
I don't know what they saw when they got underneath his skirt, but they would go in between his legs.
And he was meant to be a giant of warning don't screw with us.
Okay?
So the poem starts out not like the brazen giant of Greek fame with conquering limbs astride from land to land.
Here at our seawash gate, sunset gates, shall stand a mighty woman with a torch whose flame is the imprisoned lightning.
What is that?
What is imprisoned lightning?
That is a salute to Edison and electricity.
That's the light bulb.
Light, it's invention.
Our light is invention.
It's entrepreneurs coming up with a better idea whose flame is a better idea.
And her name is Mother of Exiles.
From her beacon hand glows worldwide welcome.
We welcome everyone.
Her mild eyes command the air bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
Now, this is an important thing.
She says, Keep ancient lands and your storied pomp, cries she with silent lips.
Wait a minute.
Keep ancient lands and your storied pomp.
What is storied pomp?
Keep all of your titles and your degrees and your kings and your classes and everything else.
Keep them.
We don't want your land.
We don't want your pomp.
We don't want any of that crap.
Keep it.
We don't want it here.
Then she says, Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
Who is she talking to here?
Give me your tired, your poor.
Who is she talking to?
She just said, Keep your ancient lands and your storied pomp.
She's talking to the countries all around the world that have all of that crap, that have all the kings and the queens and the guilds that you have to join.
And if you don't, you're born with a wrong name.
You can't go in and do that for a living.
You'll never be this because, well, you don't have the background.
Your family wasn't that.
Your family wasn't an earl or a duke or whatever the hell.
She's saying, keep all of that.
And then she challenges them give me the people you're keeping down.
Give me the people you look down on.
Give me the people that you say, oh, they're tired, they're poor, they're awful, they're stinky.
I don't like them.
They're the huddled masses.
They're our wretched refuse.
They're on our teeming shores.
I don't want them.
Good.
Send those people to us.
Because you will not believe when you stop calling people that, when you start giving them the opportunity and say, you don't have to worry about your past.
You don't have to worry about your family name.
You are responsible for you.
You have rights given to you by God that no one can stand in the way of.
I'm not going to guarantee your success and I'm not going to coddle you and hold you in my arms and sing you lullabies every night.
You want a chance?
Here's your chance.
We don't require any of that stuff.
Come here.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
This is the attitude we have to start having.
You have to remember context.
You have to remember what is the point of all of this.
Stop being abused.
We are like.
Battered, we're like battered family members.
We have been abused for so long by our own politicians, by our NGOs, by our own churches in some ways.
They have done everything they can to make you forget who you are.
You're an American.
This is the United States of America.
We are different than every other country on planet Earth.
And with God's will, we will always be different from those countries.
That's something we should stand up and square our shoulders and say, damn right, we're different.
And you don't get any of this for free.
This takes work.
This takes work from each of us, the individuals.
I'm not bringing somebody in here who doesn't even understand us or want to understand us.
You want to be Puerto Rican?
Live in Puerto Rico.
You want to be American and you have an idea that you can't do in Puerto Rico?
Come on in.
Help us.
Remind me who we are.
But I don't need another damn person who is coming in here because we're going to take care of them.
No, I'm not taking care of you.
That's not what this is about.
Stand up, square your shoulders, remember who you are.
More in a minute.
Let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
You know, one of the things that's really easy to forget when you watch events overseas on television is that the people who are living through those events are just.
People just like you, a mom trying to keep her kids safe, an elderly man, you know, wondering how he's going to get his medication, a family sitting in the dark while the night passes.
When you strip away all the headlines and all the politics, what you're looking at are human beings who need help.
And that's why I've been telling you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews for a while now.
They're on the ground in Israel, they're there every day helping provide food and shelter and emergency supplies, security and care for some of the most vulnerable people in the region, including the elderly and the children and the families who have nowhere else to turn.
They don't just talk about helping people.
They actually show up and do it.
In a world where so many people feel powerless watching all these things happen, so many people feel alone, make a difference.
Make a difference in somebody's life.
Give your gifts to God's people.
It is hope-giving and life-saving.
Don't wait.
Call 888-488-IFCJ.

Well, now that you've got that metal. picture in your head.
Glenn Beck will be right back.

Become a torch member now and see that speech from Ellis Island.
It's really empowering.
And every American needs to hear this message.
Hope For America00:01:14
Every American does.
There was another message that was given by Marco Rubio yesterday.
He was asked what his hope for America is.
I want you to listen to what he said.
I got to ask you, what is your hope for America at a time such as this?
My hope for America?
And how do you personally deal with that?
Yeah, look, I mean, my hope for America is what it's always been.
I think it's the hope I hope we all share.
We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything, where you're not limited by the circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin, by your ethnicity, but frankly, it's a place where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential.
I think that should be the goal of every country in the world, frankly, but I think in the U.S., we're not perfect.
Our history is not one of perfection, but it's still better than anybody else's history.
And ours is a story of perpetual improvement.
Each generation has left the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer, and that is our goal as well.
But it is a unique and exceptional country.
And as we come upon this 250 year anniversary, I think we have a lot to learn and be proud of in our history.
It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement, where each generation has done its part to bring us closer to fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had upon its founding.
