Stu Burguiere (4:33)

I did, I did hear it. It was. Was a spectacular roller coaster of a lesson.

Glenn Beck (4:39)

Yeah, it's. It was stunning. Now you might be thinking, wow, what a coincidence that this is coming out at the same time that Joe Biden is incompetent book is coming out and all the Democrats are running for cover.

Stu Burguiere (4:53)

Well, you mean the, the audio. Are you talking the cancer diagnosis?

Glenn Beck (4:56)

Both.

Stu Burguiere (4:56)

Both, yeah.

Glenn Beck (4:58)

This is coming out. And now the cancer diagnosis is coming out and the book is coming out. Coincidence that they're all happening at the same time.

Stu Burguiere (5:05)

Well, the audio we know is not coincidence because it was first released by one of the authors of the book. So that Alex Thompson. So that one I think was definitely. I don't know if he just happened to get it a couple days before or if he's just timing it very well for his book release. Either one is fine with me. I'm glad we have it.

Glenn Beck (5:23)

Now, the cancer diagnosis, do you believe this is the first time they're hearing about it?

Stu Burguiere (5:29)

You know someone, someone legitimate. A friend of mine texted me. He's like, am I being too cynical here? Or it's like, is it a little suspicious that they're releasing this two days before the book comes out? And I said, you're not being cynical.

Glenn Beck (5:40)

You're not being cynical.

Stu Burguiere (5:41)

You're not being cynical enough, probably. That doesn't mean that we were. We celebrate Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis. It's terrible and it's awful. And I, you know, I'm sure going through that is awful. And everyone has had a family member that's gone through something like this, and it's terrible every time you hear about it. But, like, it's not crazy to question whether we're hearing this at a time designated by Dr. Jill or somebody near them. I mean, they may have heard. I mean, you know, there is the audio that has gone around from. Was it last year where he does say he has cancer on stage? That, you know, he said that. And at the time we were told.

Glenn Beck (6:18)

Oh, it's a gaffe.

Stu Burguiere (6:19)

And, like, it's believable that he would just say he has cancer when he doesn't because he was mentally incompetent. And they were lying about that, too. But very possible, I think, also that he had a cancer diagnosis.

Glenn Beck (6:29)

Is it.

Stu Burguiere (6:30)

Maybe he didn't think it was as aggressive at the time, didn't feel the need to disclose it to the American people. Who knows what they hid from us.

Glenn Beck (6:36)

So is it too cynical to say they wouldn't have had a problem knowing that he had cancer? If he was going to run, they would have just run him. He would die and then, you know, in office and Kamala would take over and it wouldn't be anything bad. For those who are running the administration.

Stu Burguiere (6:54)

There'S no level that is appropriate for cynicism. It can't be high enough. They've lied to us so many times about this type of stuff. There's. You have to question everything that they say now. And we should also point out this is the time we don't actually technically need to know about his prostate. Yeah, like, this is now. It is a private matter for them now. It was not a private matter for them when he was in office. And that is the problem here.

Glenn Beck (7:24)

He.

Stu Burguiere (7:24)

Actually, now is a time where they cannot tell us about it for three months if they don't want to. They can tell us about it. God forbid, if he dies of cancer, they can tell us about it the day after. They don't have to tell us ever. It is now a private matter for him. It was not a private matter when he was in Office.

Glenn Beck (7:40)

Okay. Now, I want to ask you. We're all cynical for a reason, but I want you to hear a couple of stories, and I'm going to tell you exactly how I feel about them. And I would imagine it's probably where you feel, but there's a problem with the way I feel. Group of FBI agents involved in the January six investigations petitioned a federal court to destroy a list of containing approximately 5,000 names tied to the probes. Their plea comes in response to Ed Martin, the newly appointed weaponization czar, who has vowed to name and shame those he believes unjustly targeted over a thousand Americans linked to the January 6 events. Martin's stance is clear. There are some really bad actors, some people that did some really bad things to the American people. And if they can be charged, remember statute of limitations? If they can be charged, we'll charge them. But if they can't be charged, we'll name them. This approach has ignited a firestorm of debate around the balance between transparency and the potential risks to those named. The agents argue releasing the list could endanger them and their families. Especially consider that many January 6th defendants have been pardoned and are now free. Okay, is it? Is it? Do you believe that's why the names have to be destroyed? The 5,000 names can't be released and destroyed? That it's only about fear? Okay, the next story. Cash Patel and Bongino come out and they said a couple of things. They said that Epstein's death was suicide. Bongino came out and said, I fully. I mean, I've seen it. You know it when you see it, it was suicide. Immediately I thought to myself, I don't think so. However, I know Dan Bongino. I've known him for years. I think he's a credible guy. I think he loves his country. I know Cash Patel not as well as I know Dan Bongino, but I know Cash Patel. I think he's an honorable guy. I think he loves his country. I know that they both work for Donald Trump. I know Donald Trump. I know that he loves his country. So wait, if I don't believe them, if I'm saying I don't believe that, just like I say, I don't believe the prostate thing, you know, is new to the family. I have no evidence of that. I have zero evidence of that. It's just what Stu said. I've been lied to over and over and over, especially from those people about his health. So I just. I don't believe any of it. But that is the key Word is believe. Believe. Not know, believe. I want to show you there are, there are seven stages of an empire. We are in the last stage. And there's only two things that have to happen in that last stage. When I give it to you here in a minute, I think it'll blow your mind. We have no trust at all in anything. If I don't believe Patel and Bongino, then do I believe Donald Trump? Do I believe that there's some conspiracy inside of maga? You see, where does this end? This is where critical thinking comes in. Critical thinking is something that is no longer taught. You have to ask yourself these questions. Instead of saying I don't believe it, ask questions. And here's the question I ask myself. To believe Epstein killed himself, what is it I would need to see that could be produced? One full unredacted forensic and autopsy reports. I'd like to see it. I'd like to hear other coroners talk about it. I'd like to see other people, not just hand picked by the media, but I, I'd like to see the evidence myself. I'd like to hear from coroners all over. Okay, I'd like to see the surveillance footage or sworn testimony from neutral parties confirming no foul play on that. I want to know the history of that camera. I want to know when it went out exactly, and I know we do, but I want the whole thing, including the video leading up to it going out. I want a timeline that explains the broken cameras, the sleeping guards, and why most high, the most high profile prisoner in America was removed from suicide watch just days before. What? Why did that happen? You see, it is the string of coincidence and the constant lies from both sides of the administration, both Republican and Democrat. We don't believe the Department of Justice anymore. We don't believe our FBI. We don't believe apparently now our own administration that doesn't lead anywhere good. That's, let me just say, the one name, Robespierre. That's what leads to out of control revolution. So instead of saying I don't believe it, which I don't, I don't believe it. But what would be much more helpful is I want to see those things. I want to hear from Dan Bongino and say to him, Dan, specifically, what did you see? Because I know you, you didn't believe this either. So what is it? And show it to me. What did you specifically see that changed your mind? Because I want to be there with you. I really do. So show it to me now with the FBI agents, the other story where they're trying to, you know, erase everybody's name that was involved. I want concrete threats of violence against specific agents. I don't want just General fear. Don't tell me that there are 5,000 agents and they may not be able to prosecute them because of statute of limitations. And so they all just walk away. And we're going to destroy their names. That's what's being asked. Destroy that list? No. Why? General fear. I'm sorry. General Fear is no longer good enough evidence that the list is incomplete or misused. Show that to me and you can make a case. Show me a legal or constitution ration or constitutional rationale for why law enforcement that was involved in January 6th should remain anonymous. Show that to me. A legal or constitutional rationale without any of that. That looks like self preservation instead of institutional transparency. I have to see things. I'm sorry, but we should all be. Thomas, I need to put my finger in the hole because we must repair trust. All right, let me take a break, and I want to come back and I want to give you the seven phases of an empire from rise to fall. There are seven phases. I remember the last time I went over this. We were in the sixth, and it was kind of debatable if we were fully in the sixth. We're now in the seventh. And it is crystal clear that we're in the seventh stage. And there's only two things in that stage that have to happen before the empire falls. And this is not me. This is not grok. This is not. This is thousands of years of watching countries and empires fall and rise. What does it take for one to rise? What does it take for one to fall? They all have the same pattern. And this is why. This story about Epstein, about the DOJ, about January 6, about Joe Biden, all of this matters and must be cleaned up. I'll give it to you in 60 seconds. First ever, throw a stone into a still pond. The ripple starts very small, but then moves out in every direction. And when you help save a baby through preborn, that ripple doesn't stop with one life. You're saving a child, and you're saving a mom. You're giving a mother hope. You're a. You're blessing a family that might not have otherwise existed. Think about it. A baby could grow up to be a teacher, a doctor, a mom herself, a scientist, a president, whatever. And her children and their children. That's a legacy you started by one single act of compassion. For just $28, you can provide an ultrasound to a woman in crisis at a preborn clinic. For many of them, the the moment that they hear the heartbeat, that's everything. That's the moment she chooses life. The chance of life doubles. $28 doubles the chance at life. One ultrasound, one life. And from that life, only God knows the ripples. To get involved, just dial pound250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound250, keyword baby. Or go to preborn.com/beck. That's preborn.com beck sponsored by preborn. 10 seconds station ID. Okay, so sir John Glub, he wrote something called the Fate of empires. And others have added to this now and I'll show you some of the examples. But the first stage of an empire is the age of pioneers. It's an outburst and expansion. Here's what, here's the legs of the age of pioneers. Driven by vision, courage, hard work, often religious or moral conviction. Is that what started us? Yeah. Is that how it happened in America? Yeah. Vision, courage, hard work, religious or moral conviction. Example, the Rome's Republic era. America 1776-1820. And the values of that sacrifice, virtue, risk and independence. Then comes the age of conquest, strength and expansion. This is, this is the, the era beginning in America around 1820. I think by 1830, the Republic is no longer recognizable to our founders. But here's the second stage of an empire. And this is Rome's early empire and the Civil War. You know, pre Civil War, it's military or economic conquests. Consolidate territory, consolidate influence. Civil institutions are built, education spreads, infrastructure grows. Third, the age of commerce, wealth, complexity. Economic strength becomes dominant. Luxury increases, Business elites rise. Trades and speculation eclipse risk taking pioneers. The examples, Venice, the Netherlands, British empire in the 1800s. US post World War II. And the values are profit, efficiency and comfort. So this is us after World War II up until maybe, maybe the 1980s. And that's the age of affluence, Leisure and decay begins. So this is the beginning of the downfall. Stage four. Material wealth explodes. Government growth accelerates. You saw that, did that happen to us? Citizens grow dependent on the system. Virtue gives way to entitlement. Education becomes secular and critical of founding ideals. This is what happened in the second century of Rome and also between 1980 and 2010. The values, comfort, consumption and cynicism. Now we go in to the two final stages of an empire. And the last time I gave this, I said, I think we're in the fifth stage because we had some of it, but we didn't have all of it. I believe all of these boxes are checked, which puts us in the final stage, the sixth or seventh stage of, of the fall of an empire, the rise and fall, last stage. And there's only two things that have to happen. Because the Republic historically is so weak, only two things have to happen. What are those two things? Well, I'll give you a hint. One of them is absolutely going to happen at any time. The other one is up to us. You feel powerless over the situation. You won't, you won't stand by. We'll give it to you in just a second. Foreign this is Glenn Beck. Okay, so there was a piece a ceasefire and peace, apparently with Hamas. They accepted it and then they broke it. And conflict between Israel and Hamas escalated again. The last few days, Israel launched a major new ground operation into Gaza. Missile strikes have intensified. Air raid sirens in Israel are wailing all the time. Families are being forced into bomb shelters, sometimes for hours at a time. And in the middle of all of it, they're hungry, they're isolated and they're scared and the world is starting to turn on them. This is where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews comes in, the ifcj.

Glenn Beck (25:17)

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We've been, we've been talking about all of the lies that have been told. Who believes anymore that the traditional media is telling you the truth on anything? Who believes that, you know, the media didn't know about Joe Biden. Who believes that Joe Biden's cancer is a new subject now that one's hard because that very well could be brand new, but it also because we don't believe in so many other things. It might have been known when he was still in the White House. We don't know. But do you believe it? I'm not asking you what you know. I'm asking you what you believe. Then Cash Patel comes out along with Dan Bongino, two very credible people on our side on Donald Trump's hand pick in inside team. And they say the Epstein suicide was a suicide. And my first response was. And then I immediately went, but it's coming from these guys. I believe these. I know these guys. And so then I started getting into critical thinking. Okay, what would it take for me to believe them? And they just have to show us what they saw because that's a, that's a role reversal. They've, they've, they've switched. They said it wasn't a suicide. Now all I need to know is what did you see? And show it to me. Okay. Why is this important to use critical thinking? We just went through four of the seven stages of. It's called the seven stage cycle of civilization, Civilizational collapse. Okay. First, the age of pioneers. That's the revolutionary war. Then the age of conquest. That's, you know, the expansion out west. The age of commerce. That is the. Really the 20th century, early 20th century. The age of affluence, beginning around the Reagan years, where the decay begins and it becomes about leisure and stuff. Then fifth. And this is where, the last time I read this, I thought we were here. And maybe a little in the six, maybe. The age of intellect. Elite rule and fragmentation. Experts and technocrats dominated. Reason replaces faith. Society becomes obsessed with process, bureaucracy, identity and division. People grow disconnected from elites. Populist backlash begins. This is France pre 1789, Weimar, Germany in the 1920s and the US post 2000. The values, relativism, narcissism, hyper education with moral void. So technocrats dominate. Yes. Reason replaces faith. Yes. Society becomes obsessed with process. Yes. Bureaucracy. Yes. Identity. Absolutely. And division. The people grow disconnected from elites. Yes. Populous backlash begins 2016. Yes. Then you get into the sixth stage, the age of decadence, moral decline and decline of courage. Tell me if you can't check every box on this one. National identity collapses. Almost there. Almost. Immigration without assimilation. Yes. Public debt surges. Yes. Breads and circuses replace responsibility. Yes. Political corruption is normalized. Yes. Gender confusion. Yes. Family disintegration. Yes. Loss of fertility. Yes. The use of drugs. Yes. Hedonism dominates. Yes. That's Rome, the third through the fifth century. And is this us today? The values, hedonism, nihilism and entitlement? I think yes, yes and yes. Then you get into the last phase. Would you agree, Stu, that we've hit Everything else in that.

Stu Burguiere (29:58)

Yeah, we're. We're here at some degree or another where we've hit all of those.

Glenn Beck (30:02)

Okay. The age of decline and collapse, disintegration. There's only two things. Number one, internal distrust, factionalism, and scapegoating. That's the first. All of that is where we are today with those stories. Internal distrust. I don't trust anything, do you? Factionalism. Hello. MAGA and the what? Anti maga. You're either a racist or an anti racist. And scapegoating. I don't know. Jake Tapper, how's your book going? I think we're there. The last thing to happen. Currency collapse, loss of external power or invasion. With Donald Trump in power. In power where. I don't think we're going to lose the external power or invasion unless our currency collapses. And our currency collapse could happen. Nobody did. You see, they downgraded us yet again. Stu, you remember 2008. I'm saying in 2006, 2007. And we will lose our triple A plus status. They will downgrade us. The, the, the quote was never from every institution in America. Never. It will never happen. Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. It will never, ever happen. Well, it happened in like 2009. Then it happened again in like 12 and 16, and they just did it again. So currency collapse is on the board. Values of this era, Despair, tribalism, and the choice between authoritarianism or anarchy. We're there. Okay, So I don't tell you this to bum you out. I tell you this because there is something you can do. The. That's why I started today's show with those questions. We must. I believe this is a national emergency, and I believe Donald Trump should declare our trust in these institutions a national emergency. We must be transparent. This is why I said I want Cash and I want Dan Bongino to show the American people what changed their minds. I would love a hearing on it and not some big drawn out, you know, hearing in Congress with a bunch of. I just want to see. I want to see the files. Because internal distrust is a choice. Because if you're saying today I don't believe Dan Bongino and Cash Patel, which I'm stuck because I do believe them. I just. I think I don't have enough information to go with them on this. I believe in them, but I also believe that Epstein killed himself. Sorry, my throat was killing me.

Stu Burguiere (33:38)

I just like the fact that you crunch the ice as you took the sip.

Glenn Beck (33:43)

I, I believe them. I just believe also that Epstein killed himself, that he didn't hang himself with a paper sheet. Those two don't match. When something doesn't match, you have to go back and say, which one do you actually think is right? I can't because I don't have enough information. But I must do that because trust and distrust at this point is a choice. Now let me show you where distrust leads. If you don't trust trust Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, then you can't trust the FBI and the DOJ and anything that they're doing there. That's pretty bad because we just have the biggest reformer in of all time, a guy who said he would reform those two institutions, that he would be transparent, and he hired these two guys and we all cheered for those two guys. So if you don't trust them, if you just immediately go, something's wrong. I don't trust them without saying here, I don't trust that that is true. But I want to see what changed their mind. Then your next step is, well, does Donald Trump know? And if he doesn't do something about them on something this egregious, they're clearly covering something up. Then I got a problem with Donald Trump. Where does this end? This. This ends in. This ends in guillotines in France. This is what happens. You betrayed the revolution. No, I didn't. That's just not true. So the good news is this is. This is up to you. These things can be reversed. They just haven't been. But they can be reversed. For instance, why would our currency collapse? Because we're being downgraded. Why are we being downgraded? Because we're spending too much. Why are we spending too much? Because the people in Washington won't listen to the American people. They have no courage. Back to stage six decline of courage. That means we need more people who have courage that will say, this is the end of the Republic if we don't do certain things. So where will you stand today? Will you dedicate yourself to not changing what you believe per se, but at least demanding critical thinking answers for good critical thinking questions? I don't believe you. Thus, I am asking you to produce and have a conversation with the American people to show us what changed your mind. Show us the facts. We must restore trust. Back in just a second. When you think of a cell phone company, you probably don't imagine one that is actively shaping the future of our country. But Patriot Mobile isn't just any cell phone provider. It's America's only Christian conservative wireless company. And they are On a mission behind the scenes, Patriot Mobile is making real impact.

Stu Burguiere (39:36)

Title theft happens more, more often than you think. In 2025, sophisticated criminals have perfected a digital heist that requires nothing more than an Internet connection and forged paperwork. They scan public property records. They identify valuable homes. They target unsuspecting owners. And the theft itself happens in broad daylight, completely legal on paper. These criminals forge your signature on transfer documents and file them with local authorities. Just like that. It kind of seems like you sold your home to them. And that seems very legal. Of course, it's not. No alarms go off, though. No notifications arrive anywhere. The system treats it as a routine property transfer. And once they control your title, the real damage can start. They can quickly secure large loans using your home as collateral and then disappear with the cash. You remain blissfully unaware until months later when foreclosure notices start arriving at your house. Not fun to go through. Suddenly you owe hundreds of thousands of dollars, loans that you never approved. The worst part, none of your existing protections cover this scenario. A home title lock does, though. They change the equation completely. They place a digital shield around your property title and monitor it constantly. Any attempt to alter your deed triggers immediate alerts. Their team springs into action to help you block these transfers before they're permanent. And we know AI is changing the world. Don't let it change the name on your home's title. Go to hometitle.com and stop it. The promo code is blaze@hometitlelock.com.

Glenn Beck (41:16)

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Stu Burguiere (41:19)

So when you talk about critical thinking, isn't part of critical thinking asking yourself the question, what possible motivation?

Glenn Beck (41:28)

Oh, yeah.

Stu Burguiere (41:29)

Would Dan Bongino of all people in the world, and Cash Patel have to lie to the MAGA base about this being a suicide?

Glenn Beck (41:40)

Play the play the Dan Bongino and Cash Patel response.

Stu Burguiere (41:45)

You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.

Glenn Beck (41:50)

People don't believe it. Well, I mean, listen, they have a right to their opinion. But as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who's been in that prison system, who's been in the metropolitan detention center, who's been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that's what that was. He killed himself. Again, you want me to. I've.

Stu Burguiere (42:11)

I've seen the whole file.

Glenn Beck (42:13)

He killed himself. What, what, what possible motivation other than.

Stu Burguiere (42:18)

The fact that maybe he just killed himself?

Glenn Beck (42:21)

Yeah, the motivation, some would say, is they've been co opted.

Stu Burguiere (42:25)

Dan Bongino and Cash Patela co opted by the deep state.

Glenn Beck (42:30)

That's the choice everybody has to make. And I'm not saying you have enough information to make that. I've made that. But I can't square what he just said because I don't think anybody kills themselves with paper sheets.

Stu Burguiere (42:44)

But I mean, probably that's because we obviously have seen, but like, probably that wasn't the way it happened.

Glenn Beck (42:50)

Right, Right. Right. So I want to know, what did he see? What did he see that said, no, Dan, you're wrong. I know you want to believe that he didn't hang himself. There was something else, but he did. I want to know. Dan is a good guy. He has not been co opted. Cash Patel is a good guy. He hadn't been co opted. So what is it that changed their mind?

Stu Burguiere (43:15)

And you? I think there is something you have to allow for new information to change your mind. And I think there are some people who don't allow that anymore. That's the problem. We've seen that with many conspiracy theories in the past. No matter what information you have and.

Glenn Beck (43:30)

You have made your own religion, just like climate change people, just like the Trump derangement syndrome people, no new information will change your mind. You're in a religion if you believe that. But I want the information. This is Glenn Beck. If you're tired of paying more for lower quality meat at the grocery store, it's time to make a change.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello America. We are talking about trust. What do you believe and how do we repair the trust? Is it even repairable? I think we made the point yesterday, I mean last hour, that it really needs to be repairable. We have to repair it. It's one of the last stages of the of civilizations. If you look at the rise and fall of empires throughout history, there are seven stages and this is in the seventh stage. We just talked about Jeffrey Epstein and Cash Patel and Dan Bongino. I don't believe that he killed himself, but Dan Bongino just did. He said, I looked at it and that's the conclusion. If there's new information, I'll tell you. But the information that we now have shows he killed himself. Do you believe him or not? And what are the consequences if you don't see this is, this is. Radical transparency is needed to save our nation. Radical transparency. And I'll get into that here in just a second. First, let Me tell you about simply safe. I don't let staff members, you know, out of the building very often, but once in a while, one of the. One of the team, you know, escapes for a little while. One of them recently had the audacity to take a family vacation, but they went to New Mexico for the weekend. And while they were gone, they paid a teenager to feed, water and walk their dogs. Only the teenager wasn't doing her job. She was gone for hours and hours at a time, barely paid attention the dog's needs at all. But fortunately, my staff member had Simplisafe and was able to determine that the dogs weren't being cared for. He was able to contact a neighbor who came in to help out. The moral of the story is, well, there are two. Number one, never trust teenagers. What's wrong wrong with you? That one should be obvious. My gosh, wake up. Number two, get simply safe. It's easy to set up, affordable to get the monitoring plan. And it could save you, your family, even your dog or your cat. Visit simplisafe.com back, claim 50 off a new system with a professional monitoring plan and get your first month free. That's simplisafe.com Beck. There is no safe like Simplisafe. Well, hello, Stu.

Stu Burguiere (48:06)

Glenn. What a time to be alive.

Glenn Beck (48:08)

It really is. It's great to be alive. Can't wait to see how all this works out.

Stu Burguiere (48:12)

Yeah, I'm not engaged in and doesn't really affect me. At least that's convincing myself of it.

Glenn Beck (48:18)

Right. It's a lot easier.

Stu Burguiere (48:19)

You're just sitting in a theater.

Glenn Beck (48:20)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (48:21)

What's going on? All this stuff.

Glenn Beck (48:22)

We're just watching this for entertainment purposes. We're like, wow, let's learn from this society.

Stu Burguiere (48:27)

Imagine what's going to be on the next episode.

Glenn Beck (48:29)

Wow.

Stu Burguiere (48:30)

That's how I feel.

Glenn Beck (48:31)

All right, well, what was on last episode was another giant ship hitting another giant bridge. What is happening now? I've never seen this in my lifetime. Okay. I. I mean, I'm 62. I've seen it happen now two times and it's been recently. I don't know about you, but I think, I think there's a problem. Now. What's happening? Two ships, two major American bridges, less than what, year and a half apart from each other? Both ships lose power. Now, we've seen this happen before. We've seen other ships lose power. I'll get into that here in a Second. Recently, Baltimore, March 2024. Francis Scott Key bridge collapses into the Ridge river because a Singaporean Cargo ship, the Dolly loses propulsion, slams into the support column. Six workers are killed. The whole country watches in shock. And you're like, wow, that doesn't happen. Well, then again on Saturday, it happens again. A Mexican navy tall ship loses power while departing New York Harbor. It drifts straight into the Brooklyn Bridge. Two sailors die, dozens were injured. The mass shatter like matchsticks. The Brooklyn Bridge. An icon of American resolve shakes. But apparently everything is okay. Now, first of all, our condolences to all of those who were on the ship that lost their lives or were injured. We feel for you. That was an, that was an awful. They were all standing there on the masts. Can you imagine standing there going, it's. We're not stopping, we're not stopping. I got to get down. And then when the ship, when the masts go down, you saw them, they were all entangled in the ropes and they were just hanging there, some of them upside down. It was. It's nuts. Okay, so the reason for that one, we're told again, power. Okay, okay, maybe once, maybe twice. Both on foreign vessels, both involved with high profile American infrastructure. Now, we've been talking the last hour about trust and I'm sorry, I just don't trust that this is. If this is what it is, then we should stop having computer systems run everything on these ships. Okay? That's the only reason why you could say, well, no, we just put in these new computers that are running these ships and nobody's ever seen computers run things like ships before and we don't know if they're safe and stable yet. Then don't put them in the, in the ship. If there's a problem with that, why don't we know There's. I can't use my phone on an airplane. Why? Why? Because the FAA couldn't come up with a reason. We had a plane crash. I think it was in Long island years ago. And they're like cell phones and we've been tell being told to turn off our cell phones and everything else because it interferes with the navigation systems on the plane. It does what? Excuse me, what does it do? Nobody believes that. Nobody believes that, okay? That's not true. It's just not true. How come if you've ever flown in a private plane, they don't tell you that? Is there something special in private planes that makes their super, super navigational systems so much better than it is on a commercial airliner? No. It's a lie. It's a lie. So what's wrong with these ships? Do you remember the ship that also lost power and then made like a loop de loop and then slammed into another ship. It was, I think off the coast of maybe Singapore. Do you remember that happened about three, four years ago. It was like this insane thing where we lost power in navigation and it just. I mean, it was two, like, large, like, freighters. No, I think it was a freighter and a naval ship. And it just pounded into the naval ship. We lost power and lost navigation. Okay, okay, okay. All right. There is something happening in the pit of my history section of my stomach that says, this isn't. This isn't right. Warning bell. Okay. What history would tell me is these are shark bumps. Okay? You know what a shark bump is? I worked with Anderson Cooper one time and we were sitting, getting ready to do. He was doing his show on. On cnn. I was doing my show on CNN Headline News, which is strangely. Has better numbers now than any show on CNN currently. But anyway, so I'm getting ready to do my show on. On CNN Headline News, and Anderson walks in and he was always very kind, you know, to me. And we had a nice relationship.

Stu Burguiere (54:01)

Yeah, he always was.

Glenn Beck (54:02)

Yeah. And. And he said, what'd you do this weekend? And I said, I took my kids, I don't know, to the park or whatever. I said, what'd you do? And he said, I went shark diving off the coast of Australia. I was like, he had a lot.

Stu Burguiere (54:19)

Of those weird stories.

Glenn Beck (54:20)

Yeah. I was like, oh, okay, yeah, I haven't done that. I said, why would you do that? And he said, well, we were making. We were going to make a doc on it. And then something happened. And he said, so I just, you know, I wanted to be in the cage and have the sharks, you know, to see the sharks. And I'm like, okay, I could live my whole life without ever doing that. And he said, then when they pulled the cage up, I'm, you know, coming out. And he said, it was pretty wild when you were in the cage. And he said, then I see the captain of the ship as the cage is coming up, he's getting ready to dive. And I said, what are you doing? And he said, I'm going to go dive and just be with the sharks for a minute. Okay? What the hell's wrong with these people? All right, Maybe it's all the blood is constantly. It can't get to their feet or anything. It's just all coagulated in their head because they're upside down. What is wrong with you people? So he says, well, I'd like, to go with you. And he said, oh, this is only for experienced divers. And Anderson said, I'm an experienced diver. I, you know, got all my license, everything else. He's like, oh, okay. So come on, we can come with me now. Anderson didn't have any of those things. He's not an experienced diver. This was his first time. He puts on everything and he goes off the back of the ship with the. The captain. Just before they do that, the captain says, by the way, they're going to come up to you and they're going to bump into you. Do not move because if you do, they'll eat you. And he said, I'm sorry, what? He said, don't move. They bump into things to see the reaction. If you're just a floating, you know, bag of something they don't want to eat, it won't move. But if you move, they'll eat you. He said, oh, okay. All right. Now this is again, the time that I take off, you know, the, the eye mask, and I'm like, okay, have a good time. I'm staying here. He goes down and the sharks do just that. And he's. I'm sitting here, you know, listening to him, and he's like, oh, you wouldn't believe what it's like to have one of these great whites just come up and just bump you in the chest. And I'm like, nope, nope. I can't imagine that. I may not have moved, but there would have been poop in the water everywhere. Okay, so how did I get here? So I think what's happening is these are shark bumps. These are, I don't know, a country, multiple countries. I don't know, can we collapse the navigational system on ships? Can we cover it up enough? And can we take control of ships and just let people in the up, up, upper end know? Oh, boy, look what they're doing. I think this is. That's what this looks like. This looks like the opening act to a war. A different kind of war, but a war. One that we're not even allowed to call a war yet. And what chills me the most is the silence on this. The mainstream media in blink on this government assures us nothing to see here. Same experts that tell you, you know, that men can have babies are telling you it's just a coincidence. I'm sorry, I don't. Can you show me exactly how this is happening so many times? Because maybe it is, but if that's true, maybe we should stop with that kind of navigation system on These ships. Maybe it's not ready for prime time. And why does it always seem to lose power in navigation? Right around an American bridge, right around a naval ship, a US naval ship or two US bridges. Why, why is that happening now? There's a shipping giant. I guess it's Maersk M A E R S K. Right. Maersk Shipping giant had its entire global system shut down by ransomware in 2017. Did you know that the US Navy has have had ships colliding multiple times? 10 since 2016. Again, what was blamed? Steering loss or loss of power? Ask the Port of Los Angeles, which just last year was under daily cyber attack from foreign adversaries. You don't need a missile to hit us anymore. You need somebody with a keyboard and some bad code. And let me ask you this, what kind of war doesn't even need intent, just capability. Because when infrastructure is digitized, when our bridges, our tugboats, our radar systems, our engine controls all depend on centralized code, it doesn't take a villain in a cape. It takes a firmware update or a rogue packet of data from a USB stick. Remember before 9 11, the intelligence community had over 40 separate warnings that something big was coming. They just didn't connect the dots. Well, we have several dots here and they all seem to. They all seem to lead to the same thing. Power or steering loss. Somebody should solve that. If it's a software or a hardware problem, solve that. How come I'm not hearing about that? You can't just keep saying yep, last steering laws and then we just accept it though. This is national security. Is anybody serious about national security? Anybody? Now I'm not saying this was an attack, but this is. This is exactly what it would look like if it was. This looks like a shark attack except. Or a shark bump. Except this time the shark is seeing how you're going to move. By us not moving it makes that foreign shark or whoever might be doing it more apt to eat us. If we move and harden things, it makes them less apt to eat us. So in a shark bump with a real shark, you don't move in. In this particular scenario where it could be a foreign adversary giving us a shark bump, you must move. And I haven't, I haven't seen anything yet. We need cyber forensics on all of those boats. Independent experts, not just the insurers or foreign governments. Independent experts. We need an immediate national audit of our port bridge and maritime infrastructure vulnerabilities to electromagnetic or cyber interference. And we need. We need people to at least start investigating the Possibility of hybrid sabotage. We're being. I believe we're being text tested. Are we going to do the same thing with the 40 things that happened before 9, 11 and not connect the dots, or are we going to go, you know, it might not be that, but we should be all over this.

What'd you think of when you saw that. That ship hitting the Brooklyn Bridge?

Stu Burguiere (63:36)

I mean, just the visuals of it are. It was spectacular video. And, you know, people on the side of the river just watching this boat drift toward them was bizarre as well. You know, first of all, you think about the people who were on it, which. A couple people died.

Glenn Beck (63:52)

Couple people died, 16 injured, I think.

Stu Burguiere (63:54)

Yeah. So, I mean, it was tragic from that circumstance.

Glenn Beck (63:57)

Imagine watching it standing on the bridge. People were standing on the bridge. You walk across a Brooklyn bridge above the traffic. People were standing on the bridge. Seeing those masks come and go. They're going, oh, my, what is happening here?

Stu Burguiere (64:11)

Yeah, your first thought is just someone just massively miscalculating that they could go under this bridge. But one, you kind of the way they don't seem to change direction or slow or anything. And then you realize, okay, and that now they lost power. That would make some sense. The question, of course, that you're trying to get at, which is more important is why?

Glenn Beck (64:28)

Why are they losing power? And why could they not drop anchor when they lost power? They should drop anchor Immediately, Immediately.

Stu Burguiere (64:36)

I don't know enough about, especially that ship, which is a, it's a historic. Right. Mexican navy ship that is, you know, it looks like it was. Everyone keeps saying it looks like it's out of the pirate Pirates of the.

Glenn Beck (64:48)

Caribbean and it does, but it has electronic control so it's not, it's not like that. It's been updated.

Stu Burguiere (64:54)

Yes, a little bit. Why, why did. I don't know.

Glenn Beck (64:57)

And why, why did the tugboat could. The tugboat. I don't know enough about this. So these are stupid ignorant questions for anybody who actually has done this. Maybe if you're listening you can call us and tell us why didn't they.

Stu Burguiere (65:07)

Happen to run a Mexican navy ship at any point in your.

Glenn Beck (65:10)

Why didn't they just drop anchor? Couldn't that. I mean, I know it may not have caught anything, but should. It would, should stop you from drifting.

Stu Burguiere (65:19)

Is that really how ships work? Really? Are they still just trying to get. There's going on the road. Like it's like your emergency brake, you just drop the anchor, just stop right there. It seems like bizarre, like there should be better systems, but I guess if you don't have any power.

Glenn Beck (65:30)

Yeah, that's it. That's what keeps you from drifting. And that's what was happening. It was drifting. And then why wasn't the tugboat pulling the opposite direction? I mean, you know that there's got to be a simple answer for that.

Stu Burguiere (65:42)

It doesn't seem to have caused much damage other than obviously the, you know, to the bridge. Bridge of the structures around it. I mean we already discussed the loss of life, which is significant. But it doesn't seem like it was like a terrorist attack, like they were.

Glenn Beck (65:55)

Trying to knock over. No, no, no, no, no. And I'm not even saying, I'm definitely not saying Mexico had some plan, right? If, if it was hacked into. It was not hacked into by Mexico. They didn't do that. That's a, that's like a China thing or a Russian thing. But I, I find it, I find it fascinating that a bridge that complex, the first of its kind, could stand 150 years be hit by that boat and nothing. This is Glenn Beck. That's. That was inspiring. Let me tell you about the burner launcher. If you've ever been through a situation, you thought, if this escalates, what do I do? Maybe you carry pepper spray, maybe you carry a firearm. What if there was something in between? The burner launcher is a non lethal compact self defense tool that bridges the gap between Feeling helpless and feeling armed. And their new compact launcher is a game changer. It fits in a purse, a glove box, even a jacket pocket. But it packs a serious punch, launching pepper and tear gas projectiles that can neutralize a threat from a safe distance. There's no background checks required. It's legal to carry in all 50 states. Unlike pepper spray, it doesn't require you to be in arm's reach of that person trying to hurt you. Look, there are moments in life where you need to protect yourself. And the burner launcher gives you options that can make all the difference in the world.

Glenn Beck (68:06)

The most listened to radio podcast in America. We're glad you're here. Thank you for listening. I saw Joe Rogan, FBI Special Agent Scott Payne. He's an undercover guy and he spent like 25 years with the worst of the worst. I mean, the worst of the worst, the Klan. You know, trying to remember some of the other ones. Base was another one. He, he went out and he said, I've seen demonic stuff. Because when he was on Rogan, he didn't really talk about his faith. And his faith carries him through a lot of this. I mean, he almost was killed several times and faith saved him. In fact, let me play this clip. This is after I asked him, what is the closest you ever got to being caught when you were undercover? Listen to this.

Scott Payne (69:05)

As far as blowing my cover, Just getting caught.

Glenn Beck (69:08)

Yeah, just getting caught.

Scott Payne (69:09)

The biggest one's probably the Outlaws case. That's where they took me down. After a year and a half undercover, they year and a half undercover doing all those insurance things, carjackings, whatever, and some dope stuff. We upped the ante to do a big shipment of drugs so they could be introduced. Because they've been asking so they could be introduced to some cartel contacts. Because what does a drug dealer want? They want the highest purity product they can get for the lowest price they can get because then they can step on it and make more money. So imagine if you're in Massachusetts and you get a straight pipeline from Mexico. You're probably going to get some Good stuff. And we upped the ante. And then at that year and a half point, they carried me down into the basement. It's more like a crawl space of the clubhouse. And stripped me at gunpoint looking for a wire. The problem was I was wired to the hilt. And they almost found it. It was close. It was close. And what are you gonna do? I'm like, even if you think you're a tough person and you can fight, you're in a crawl space, basement, whatever. I can't stand up straight. I could probably touch the wall on both sides. They've already shown me their pistols. I'm not free to leave. And even if I could get past those two guys without getting shot, you got everybody up. I got another probably 10 upstairs with the door locked with a metal bar across it and everything else. And it came close like I had an oh, crap moment. Adrenaline dump. Your auditory exclusion happens. Your time dilation happens in your eyes. Everything you see is in screen gr. Everything slows down. Everything you hear is going whoosh, whoosh, real slow. And what seems like an hour is probably a couple of minutes. And I took all my clothes off, wrote down my name and everything they wanted me to. I was panicking like crazy. You can clearly hear that my voice does not sound like this. My throat is a lot tighter. My pitch is a lot higher. Some of my addiction is terrible because I'm talking through my nose, because I'm freaking out. And I thought I was done. And then clothesline. It was supposed to be my buddy, not the FBI undercover buddy, but, you know, the Scott Callaway buddy. He. He grabbed a piece of clothing, and that piece of clothing had some equipment in it. And he starts needing it with his fingers. You know, he's, like, working it. He cracked the joke. He's like, hey, man, I'm not gonna find anything in here. I don't want to. Like some naked pictures of my old lady. And I'm like, I hope not, you know? But I'm watching him do this, and I don't even know I do it. You can hear me on the recording. Go. Because, I mean, what am I gonna do? You know? And he looked right at it and missed it.

Stu Burguiere (72:03)

Wow.

Scott Payne (72:04)

By that much. By that much. There's crazy. There's crazy things like that, because that's another. It goes back to my faith. That night, when I called my wife. I'd always called her, especially during that case. I gave her, like, a covert phone, a burner phone I bought and set up so I could call her. From my undercover phone. And I called her that night and the first thing she said is, are you okay? And I was like, yeah, why? She said, man, I was driving in McAllen with the girls. Our girls were little at that time, about like 3 and 1. And she said, I just got this overwhelming feeling. And I pulled over on the side of the road and started praying for you. And that's when I was in the basement. I looked at the time. That's when I was in the basement. So.

Glenn Beck (72:49)

Wow.

Scott Payne (72:49)

Yeah, that's freaky, freaky stuff. But I mean, there's been other things where, like, you know, somebody's got a double barreled shotgun with both hammers cocked back like this on the table, pointing at you, going, my brother. And his brother's right there. My brother says, you're a cop and you're looking at his brother going, he's right. Because I arrested him when I used to be a uniform patrol, you know, how do you get out of that?

Glenn Beck (73:10)

How did you get out of that?

Scott Payne (73:12)

I started counter accusing, deny, counter accuse. Because I didn't have near as much training back then. That was when I was at the sheriff's office. But, you know, you find yourself in a situation again with another case. Poetic justice. You brought it up, guys. Got a shotgun, double barrel hammers, cockback. I should learn my lesson with those, I guess. And he's. He's like, he's already told me, if I find out you the law, you a dead man. You hear me? If I find out you the law, you're a dead man. And then I did something to bolster my bona fetus, to bolster myself as looking like I know what I'm doing, like I'm really a criminal and I overstepped my bounds. I underestimated. And he. It's a chess game. He. He got me on that one. The next thing I know.

Glenn Beck (73:56)

Can you say what you did?

Scott Payne (73:58)

Yeah. I told him that I've been like, hey, man, that dope that I bought last time from his relative, it was weak. And it was. And any dealer or user is going to know and they're going to come back and be like, hey, what the hell was that? You sell. You sold me, you know? And I told him, I said, oh, yeah. I said that stuff was weak, man. He goes, well, this isn't. Try this. And I was like, oh. And next thing you know, I've got a red bone hound in my crotch. And that thing was mean, mean. I was like, you just didn't move. You just like. Because it's going, like, touching you, and you're like, okay. And then he's got the shotgun, and then there's open bag of cocaine in my face. And he's like, just do it. Just do it. And. And I'm like. I'm talking, and I'm like, man, I told you I don't do it. I'm laying out everything that I think I could lay out that I. For me and my story. And then I realized, this is his test. And I even said. I said, this is your test. This is it. And I just did some real quick hand movement, and I didn't ingest anything. And I was pissed. I let him know I was pissed. But as soon as that happened, you have to be able to see is this situation deteriorating? Clearly it was. But as soon as I did that, he immediately. Everything was fine. And he's like, hey, come to the back room. Here's all the dope. My relatives are the cop. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it was. It was. It was good to go after that. But I. I shouldn't have let that happen, you know? But again, it's a chess game. You're trying to stay moves ahead while you're still connecting with people and gaining trust.

Glenn Beck (75:34)

I mean, I. There are so many times when I said to him, I don't know how you do it. I mean, I would. I would. I'd have a nervous breakdown. I'd have a nervous. I could not do it. I get uncomfortable watching shows, and I don't mean, like, you know, like, mission Impossible. I get uncomfortable when the people are, you know, lying to somebody in, like, you know, suits, and they're lying, and I'm like, you're gonna get caught in that. You're. And I get. I mean, like, oh, geez, I couldn't do it. I couldn't. I mean, can you imagine doing that job?

Stu Burguiere (76:05)

When I purchase something and I realize that there's something wrong with it or I don't need it and I need to return it, I make my wife do it because I don't want to have the conversation with the person at the store who doesn't care at all. That's my life. That's different than the life we just heard about.

Glenn Beck (76:27)

I don't like any of it. I don't like any of it. Most of life, I don't like. No. Right.

Stu Burguiere (76:32)

I don't like interacting with people.

Glenn Beck (76:34)

I mean, here we are, look at what we do, and both of us hate conflict.

Stu Burguiere (76:38)

Yeah.

Glenn Beck (76:39)

We didn't get into this to do this. We got into this to make fun of this, and then all of a sudden, we were. The guys were like, what are you talking about? Let me. Let me play one more thing. Imagine being in this situation again. This is the podcast that came out Saturday. And get it wherever you get your podcast. The Glenn Beck podcast came out Saturday. This is Special Agent Scott Payne. Listen to this one. I asked him to tell the story when he infiltrated the nation's most dangerous white supremacy group, the base. And what happened on Halloween night.

Scott Payne (77:14)

Somebody says, does anybody have a gun? We weren't supposed to bring any weapons down there. The one guy who was the least qualified to be handling a live firearm, who hadn't slept in probably two or three days, was the guy who had the gun. And it even shocked Luke tmp because me and Luke were like, what? And they were like, what are you doing? And Luke took the gun from him, hands it, and it gets passed to Eisen. Well, Eisen chambers around, points towards the goat, ram the head, and then looks away. We're all in a circle. So the instructor in me comes out. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? And he's like, what? And I go, man, look at what you're shooting. We're all in a circle. Jack wagon, you know, I mean, you know, for Odin.

Glenn Beck (78:01)

And, yeah.

Scott Payne (78:05)

I mean, we're supposed to look because he told me, we need to show this goat. Love this. This goat is being blessed. It needs to. So he comes, he finally looks and puts it in.

Stu Burguiere (78:14)

Pow.

Scott Payne (78:14)

You can even hear it on the recording. Ka Tunk. You hear it fall on the ground. It kicks for minutes. It's still shivering. I'm like, I don't know if it's dead or not. I'm like, man, put another bullet in it. And he's like. He goes, well, I'm pretty sure it's dead. And I go, you know, for the goat, it needs to be. Yeah, Love going to Odin. That's in Valhalla, kinda. It's still wiggling. Finish it. And then he finished it. And then they. You think you're done and you're not. They go and slice the throat of the goat, fill up a big cup with his blood. And I'm holding a flashlight for Eisen. Everybody's still on their knees, and we're going. Because we're in the middle of the woods. It's pitch black except for the torches. And I'm shining the light. And he brought acid. So now he's tearing off acid, hits off the sheet and giving it to members. Almost every member did it. A couple of us didn't, but gives them that and they chase it with the blood as part of the sacrifice. So by the time the cup gets to me, the blood is all coagulating. It's chunky, it's like clotted.

Glenn Beck (79:18)

It's like, stop. You gotta hear it. You gotta hear it. This is, you don't need it now, but this is, this is animal sacrifice, satanic kind of rituals, what this guy has done to catch these guys. And then, you know, I asked him, I don't know if FBI, good guys, bad guys now because, you know, you're setting people up. And we talk about the, the Whitmer thing and he knows some people that were involved in the Whitmer thing. You need to hear that this guy has lived the life that nobody, nobody wants to live. And he also talks about the real extremists that if they're domestic, what we should be concerned about. It's a fascinating interview. It was Saturday, released Saturday's podcast. You can get it wherever you get your podcast or@theblaze.com com it's retired FBI Special Agent Scott Payne. So in 1971, something quiet but devastating happened. Nixon took the US dollar off the gold standard. And just like that, money was no longer backed by anything real. And that's when France, believe it or not, they have warships sent their warships in and they're like, give us our gold. And we did. Oh, we know we could scare the America. It was a pathetic moment. But now, now whatever the government says it's worth, it's worth, right? And every time Washington spends billions that they don't have, you pay for it with a dollar that buys less, saves less, is less. This is the 1971 problem. And it's why so many smart people are moving part of their retirement into something tangible. It's called gold.

Glenn Beck (84:03)

You know, I gotta tell you, people said that Joe Biden was, you know, too weak to be president. Let me just play this from the Biden, her interview. I don't know if you, you heard this. Cut five, please. Here's Biden talking about bow hunting.

Joe Biden (84:21)

Went to Mongolia and great pictures. I unfortunately embarrassed the hell out of the leader of Mongolia. They were doing what they would do at the time of the invasion of the Mongols into Europe in the 14 and the 8 hundreds. And so we're out in the middle of nowhere and they're looking up on the hill and you see this tiny line. Now it's a 20 mile horse race with all these kids under the age of 16 on bareback racing to come down. And they're sumo wrestlers and doing everything they do. And so they walked over and they had a target, big bales of hay 100 yards away. And these gorillas were, you know, taking shots. And I think, I don't know if it's Going to embarrass me or to make a point. But handed the bow and arrow. I'm not a bad archer but only problem they were if I could pull it back. So I. And pure luck, I interviewed. No, I really did. Bales of hay were like 20 bales of hay with a. With a big target in the middle of the bale. And so I didn't mean anything by it. I turned to the prime minister, handed to him.

Glenn Beck (85:39)

Wow. So the prime minister of Mongolia couldn't pull back the. The arrow in the bow, but he did and he hit the target. That's an amazing thing.

Stu Burguiere (85:52)

What an amazing story. I'm sure that had a lot of relevance to what they were talking about documents.

Glenn Beck (85:57)

But the. The leader of North Korea, he also is. He has. He's played a perfect game. Got a hole in one all 18 holes.

Stu Burguiere (86:09)

First time he golfed, first time he shot an 18.

Glenn Beck (86:12)

It's hard to do. I don't know people know that. But he might have been with the prime minister of Mongolia who, who didn't shoot an 18. That might be it. Yeah, maybe. But Joe Biden, he did all 18 holes. Six.

Stu Burguiere (86:28)

He had a six.

Glenn Beck (86:29)

He had a six.

Stu Burguiere (86:30)

So like went in one hole and bounced out to the next hole and also went in.

Glenn Beck (86:34)

It was crazy to watch. But it happened. I'm not joking. No joke. No joke. It happened. No joke. This is Glenn Beck Jace Medical.

Stu Burguiere (90:23)

Global warming is affecting us all, Glenn.

Glenn Beck (90:25)

I know, I know, I know. I know that. Last night I was sitting in. A. Sitting at a. In a theater. My daughter was doing a final performance of something in this theater that she's been working with, and. And I. I get a text, a massive storm is headed your way. I just put the map down. You're the X. Here's the giant storm with multiple funnels. And I like. Well, I mean, I like funnel cake. Is that the same thing? We were right in the path, and I'm sitting there and I show it to Tanya, and she went, that's not good. I'm like, no, no, it. No, it's not good. What do we do? I'm just not. I'm not equipped to live in places where there's tornadoes. They're just. They freak me out a little. Bit because they just. They can come down at any time and just suck you into the air.

Stu Burguiere (91:21)

Yeah, it's. It's unlike, you know, like a hurricane you see coming for a while, like a blizzard, you know, it's more like a.

Glenn Beck (91:28)

It's more like living in California.

Stu Burguiere (91:30)

Earthquake is the other one.

Glenn Beck (91:31)

Yeah. Earthquakes and mudslides lights. Those things. Those. And tornadoes. Tornadoes should be in California. Just all those really unpredictable things. Yeah. You know, I mean, you get the.

Stu Burguiere (91:42)

Great weather most of the time, and then you have to deal with one or two really weird things.

Glenn Beck (91:45)

Yeah, right. This is just weird. It's just weird. I didn't know what to do. And it was. And luckily, I get Another text like, 15 minutes later, and he's like. He. He writes to me, says that to me. I'm like, what do we. What. What should we do? And then I get a text. This where you should go in case it gets. In case it gets a little crazy range and start in 15 minutes. And so he's like, you know, go to the Sheraton Hotel, you know, to, you know, two blocks down. I'm like, oh, now should I. When do we do that? When do we do that? And Tanya just said, quiet. I'm like. And I keep looking behind me. I could see the door, you know, and I could see out the door. And. And 15 minutes later, it starts to rain. And I'm like, okay. Okay. All right. I mean, I know, but I mean, really. I mean, screw the kids. We should get to a Sheridan. Don't you think? We should get. There's got to be some shelter at the Sheridan. I mean, she's not going to want to leave. She's performing. She's doing a great job. Maybe we should go. So there's something left of the family.

Stu Burguiere (92:50)

That's. That's.

Glenn Beck (92:51)

That's right. Brave of you. I'm sure you want to do whatever you want with the kids. Just leave me alone.

Stu Burguiere (92:55)

Right?

Glenn Beck (92:55)

You know, leave me alone.

Stu Burguiere (92:56)

You selflessly.

Glenn Beck (92:57)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (92:57)

To protect the family, we're gonna leave the performance.

Glenn Beck (93:01)

And it's. I mean, honest. Honestly, it's a little like, you know, the continuation thing that they do. At the State of the Union, I was the one to be the designated survivor. I. I volunteered. I'm like, hey, I will. I will skip the show and be the designated Survivor. But nope, nope, nope. Wife wouldn't let me do it.

Stu Burguiere (93:20)

Wish I had someone in our extended show family have. In the middle of one of these tornadoes like that, a giant tree fell through their house.

Glenn Beck (93:30)

Who. Last night.

Stu Burguiere (93:31)

Yeah. From this recent batch of stories. I don't know that they want it necessarily discussed on national radio with.

Glenn Beck (93:37)

Why. What's going on with them in the tree?

Stu Burguiere (93:39)

I don't think anything.

Glenn Beck (93:41)

Why wouldn't they talk about it? If they're not doing anything wrong, why wouldn't they talk about it?

Stu Burguiere (93:44)

But, I mean, I just have not confirmed that they want it talked about. But I will say that, you know, it's just shocking when you hear that. It's like someone you know.

Glenn Beck (93:54)

What's so weird is if you've ever seen where a tornado goes through, it will, like, skip houses. It doesn't take out. Usually it doesn't take out the whole neighborhood. It'll take out, like, part of your house, all of your neighbor's house. Three doors down, it's all fine. Then across the street, a house is completely gone. I mean, it's just weird. So random.

Stu Burguiere (94:15)

We had a tornado that hit here in Dallas last year, and it was going. It was like, close to, like, where my kids go to school. And I'm like, I know they're at school, and I'm, like, looking at this thing and just. You just feel so helpless. You're just looking at this. The trail of. It's going, like, directly, like, near where someone you love is.

Glenn Beck (94:35)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (94:35)

And not to mention, it was right after school started. So I knew my wife had just dropped them off where she like, yeah, but is she at school? Is she on the way back? Is she driving through the path of it right now? You have no freaking idea.

Glenn Beck (94:47)

I know.

Stu Burguiere (94:48)

And it's so devastating if it. If it happens to drop right on you. I mean, it's over.

Glenn Beck (94:52)

He said, this. This guy who called me, he's one of the protection team, so he's texting me, and I said, well, where do. Where would we go? And he said, whatever you do, just drive north. And I'm like, dude, I don't know which direction is north. What are you talking about?

Stu Burguiere (95:09)

It's that night talking to.

Glenn Beck (95:11)

Yeah, just drive north. Oh, okay. I'll look at the stars, which I can't even see or read. Jesus. For the love of.

Stu Burguiere (95:21)

They act as if we have abilities and skills outside of this room. No.

Glenn Beck (95:25)

No abilities. None. None. We're the first to be eaten. Now. Let me ask you one other thing. My other daughter, she's having a birthday today. She's 34.

Stu Burguiere (95:34)

Wow.

Glenn Beck (95:36)

And I just sent her, you know, a note, a text, just happy birthday, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then, you know, as a. As a joke, because I don't know what it means. I sent her the salsa dancer because everybody else is a family. Yeah, this is a family text. And everybody is sending all these emojis. And I don't know what any of them mean, but I always like the salsa dancer because I really don't know what that one means. I'm like, what are we going dancing? I don't know. I don't know what it means. And there's a male and a female salsa dancer. I only sent her the male salsa dancer. So after I hit send, I realized, you know, the eggplant and the peach are not representing fruits and vegetables, you know?

Stu Burguiere (96:21)

What did you just send your daughter?

Glenn Beck (96:22)

What did I just send my daughter? Do you know what the salsa does?

Stu Burguiere (96:26)

I've never in my, I think, in my entire life sent an emoji.

Glenn Beck (96:31)

Good for you.

Stu Burguiere (96:31)

I don't think I've ever sent one.

Glenn Beck (96:33)

Good for you.

Stu Burguiere (96:34)

So I don't know what any of them mean. Although I've seen the peach and the eggplant described.

Glenn Beck (96:40)

Yeah, okay. Okay. Sarah, please tell me I didn't send something weird. As a parent, you don't just go swinging emojis and text messages. Step one.

Stu Burguiere (96:49)

That's right. You don't go like, the emoji slot machine is not a game you should be playing.

Glenn Beck (96:55)

Definitely not. But I did look it up and it came up with the female, and it says she represents fun, freedom, a zest for life, and a positive affirmation. Like, great, okay, what is the male? I don't know. But yeah, sex with children. Probably. Probably my luck. Yes.

Stu Burguiere (97:18)

Yes.

Glenn Beck (97:19)

What is the male salsa dancer?

Stu Burguiere (97:21)

I'm very concerned about this now because I didn't realize that you said you'd think you'd send the female. Why would you send the male salsa dancer?

Glenn Beck (97:28)

Because I was the salsa dancer. I was like, ah, celebrate. Well, it says, it symbolizes dancing, celebration, having a good time, and a expressing joy or excitement. Also, keep away from children.

Stu Burguiere (97:45)

I love you. So your plan here was to say, ah, celebrate.

Glenn Beck (97:51)

I'm.

Stu Burguiere (97:51)

I'm the salsa dancer. I'm telling you to celebrate right now. That was your.

Glenn Beck (97:55)

That was your plan? Celebrate.

Stu Burguiere (97:57)

Okay, I like it. I think you should every day pick a new emoji to send to one of your children and let's see how long it goes until it blows up into a national scandal. I don't think we get through two weeks.

Glenn Beck (98:13)

Oh, it's not good. It's not good.

Stu Burguiere (98:15)

You don't never send random emojis to your children. Cause you never know what could come down the. That could be really ugly. I'm glad you survived that one, though.

Glenn Beck (98:27)

Thank you.

Stu Burguiere (98:27)

Do you think she thought you were sending a message that you understood so well?

Glenn Beck (98:35)

No, because here's what I wrote. Because at first, I really actually did send the salsa dancer, because I don't know what it means.

Stu Burguiere (98:42)

It kind of seems fun.

Glenn Beck (98:44)

Happy birthday, Hannah. Salsa dancer. I don't know what the salsa dancer means, but salsa seems like the right message today.

Stu Burguiere (98:53)

I like that. Spicy fun.

Glenn Beck (98:57)

Spicy fun. Well, not spicy in that way.

Stu Burguiere (98:59)

No, not.

Glenn Beck (99:00)

That was definitely not.

Stu Burguiere (99:01)

It is a spicy condiment, though.

Glenn Beck (99:02)

Yes. Choose another word.

Stu Burguiere (99:05)

I. I'm not the one that sent it. Weirdo.

Glenn Beck (99:09)

Okay. All right, let me. Let me play. Dear Starmer, the Prime Minister from England.

Stu Burguiere (99:18)

A normal transition here, by the way. Salsa dancer emoji to Keir Starmer. What. What show are you even listening to? I. I'm angry at the listeners for tuning in at this point.

Glenn Beck (99:30)

It's all the people. I mean, and you know this. If you're listening, you're. You're gonna say to me, preach it, brother. But it's all the people who have just given up on life. They've just been like, right? There's no way to solve any of these things.

Stu Burguiere (99:44)

20 minutes ago, I sent a salsa dancer to my kid. It's over. Anyway, let's turn on the Glenn Beck program.

Glenn Beck (99:51)

All right, so here Starmer, he comes out, and he's talking about immigration system, permits, abuse. Listen to this. So when you have an immigration system that seems almost designed to permit abuse, that encourages some businesses to bring in lower paid workers rather than invest in our young people, or simply one that is sold by politicians to the British.

Stu Burguiere (100:20)

People on an entirely false premise, then you're not championing growth, you're not championing.

Glenn Beck (100:27)

Justice, or however else people defend the status quo. You're actually contributing to the forces that are slowly pulling our country apart. This is the socialist. This is the socialist. Let me just say it again. This is the socialist Prime Minister. He goes on to say that this is what the average person has been asking for. Now, I don't know British politics at all, but if this were a Democrat here saying this and like the leader of, you know, the people who have been pulling us apart with the immigration stuff, I wouldn't believe that. But that's the first time I think he said anything like that. And he's like, we're gonna. We're gonna. We're changing things because this can't stand anymore. Anymore. Because, you know, the people who are English are not getting jobs. And it's all of these, these people who are not assimilating into society. And he said, and they're about to go into a fifth year, and in five years, you can become a citizen if you've been there for five years. And he said, we're going to make that 10 years. So, okay, now what are you going to do in nine years? You're going to change it again to 15 years? I mean, because what he said was because once they're citizens, they can go on the dole. You're giving them everything. You're giving them houses and food and everything else. What do you mean on the dole? It gets. It gets better than that.

Stu Burguiere (102:07)

What were you saying earlier about empires collapsing? Wasn't there a. Yeah, I think it was a step that describes this exact process.

Glenn Beck (102:14)

SALSA DANCER what's crazy about this is this shows how dead this global movement really is. Now, I'm not saying he's going to do anything, but he's at least now having to recognize and speak the language of his citizens, whether he does anything or not. You know, they were just last week, they were trying to, you know, hey, how can we put. How can we undo Brexit? You know, I don't trust these guys at all, but at least somebody is speaking, the voice of the streets, at least at this level. Now, if you're a politician, especially one from the EU or Great Britain, you most likely are. Yeah, well, I can say that, but I don't have to mean it or do anything. But that is eventually going to come undone too, as well, and it's going to happen soon, sooner rather than later. Just thought it was worth pointing out. Back in just a second with more. Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. So you decided to sell your house yourself. I mean, how hard could it be? Step one, just take photos. Step two, write a listing. Step three, panic. You know, who knew? Buyers, you know, don't love when the seller, you know, tags along during the showing to point out all the quirks. Look, selling your house is not a garage sale. It's one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make. You don't need a friend who once watched hgtv. You need a vetted, trusted, professional realtor. That's where real estate agents I trust comes in. A company that I started because I went through the mess myself. And I started working with the 500 Best Real Estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. Learned all about them, learned what makes a great agent Somebody that is trustworthy. All you have to do now to get connected with those people is just go to real estate agents I trust dot com. We have vetted these people six ways to Sunday. We know the best practices. We don't. If we don't have somebody in your area, we won't just go out and find one. These people have been really gone through the ringer. Ask them. Real estate agents I trust dot com. Go there now. Tell us where you're moving from and to real estate agents I trust dot com. Ten seconds. Station id. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We have Mary Cutter coming on in a second. She is a. She's a country singer. 50 million video views. Can we play part of her song Devil Wore a Lab Coat? Listen to this expense from Dance the Coal Mines. They hit a gold mine.

Mary Cutter (105:19)

Hooked his own sexy to sound effects.

Glenn Beck (105:23)

Like a woman dressed in sheep's clothes.

Mary Cutter (105:27)

The devil wore a lab coat.

Glenn Beck (105:31)

We're gonna talk to her about the Devil Wore a Lab Coat. How dare her. She. We should. We should send her to Canada. So we're gonna talk to her about that song and so much more. Coming up in just a minute. What else did we miss so far, Stu, that we haven't gotten to?

Stu Burguiere (105:50)

Well, I mean this is what I've been mainly focused on, honestly. We talked about it a little bit. Is this Joe Biden book that's coming out this week? It's tomorrow actually. Is the release of this book. It's the Jake Tapper Alex Thompson book.

Glenn Beck (106:03)

Jake Tapper won't come on the show as of yet so far. It's just, I just. Oh, man, can't. This show sells more books than I think any other show. I mean and every publisher knows it. You will hear people from time to time. When they get on, they'll go like we had to get on the Glenn Beck show. We sell books like crazy. I can't make it.

Stu Burguiere (106:25)

I mean they, I will say they are getting a big media push out of this. It's getting a lot of attention. Possible that, you know, maybe we.

Glenn Beck (106:35)

This show is known. Known in the industry as the Oprah of book sales.

Stu Burguiere (106:41)

I agree. And we have been very complimentary of his co author and his reporting at the time. Not just after, but at the time Alex Thompson. So I think it's. I think some point. I think they will come out.

Glenn Beck (106:52)

I mean I'd be fair to Jake Tapper totally.

Stu Burguiere (106:55)

Did you hear his. Someone asked him about. Hey, you kind of made some. You were kind of skeptical of the people saying that he had some cognitive decline there for a while. What's your excuse for that? He said basically some of the. He's like, I did cover it some. I should have covered it more. And that was a problem and I should have done better was basically what he said.

Glenn Beck (107:21)

So. But if you don't have. I don't use these large broadcasters because they can. They have access. You can get access. But if everyone is stonewalling you, Everyone is stonewalling you. You can't just go on as a news guy and say, yeah, I think you have to go. Until you have proof. You have to go with. But you don't have to defend.

Stu Burguiere (107:47)

No, but what you do. Look, this is unbelievable, right? Like, coming from the media that, like, we're supposed to accept that, oh, gosh, well, they told us he was fine. And what are we supposed to do? I mean, think of what they did to get access to, for example, Donald Trump's tax records.

Glenn Beck (108:03)

Mm.

Stu Burguiere (108:03)

I mean, I think there might have been crimes committed for them to get access to them. But they tried over. I mean, they spent years trying to get access to this, by the way, we eventually got them and was like, oh, yeah, he's. He's rich. I mean, I don't know what we were supposed to get from them, but they were fanatically obsessed with trying to get those answers because Donald Trump said, I don't wanna give them to you. Right. That's how the media's supposed to react. When a president. When you see evidence of thing A and thing, they keep telling you thing B, you get. This is your time to turn on the journalism charm and figure it out and press and press and press until you get answers again. I think Alex did that at some level. You know, I don't know a lot of. A lot didn't.

Glenn Beck (108:50)

But here is the problem with this book coming out. This. This doesn't give us any answers on who's responsible, who was doing the, you know, the executive orders at the end.

Stu Burguiere (109:02)

I think it gets us to that. At least it gets us moving in the direction to get that answer. That's why I'm happy about it.

Glenn Beck (109:08)

Mary Cutter (110:53)

Working underground since 83 doctor said I got you the.

Glenn Beck (111:05)

Remedy It'll kill that pain real quick trust me. Didn't take long.

Mary Cutter (111:11)

Half the town was on it. Didn't ask questions, no, we just popped them. Doctors getting fat from raking and kickbacks all happened so fast One man's crave.

Glenn Beck (111:23)

Is another man's paycheck Rx man at our expense Dance the coal mines they hit a gold mine hook Just on six feet of sound effects Like a.

Mary Cutter (111:35)

Dress in sheep's clothes the devil wore a lab coat.

Glenn Beck (111:41)

Mary Cutter is the artist behind that. And another song you, you might have heard, let's see, it's Smell the Smoke which I think is absolutely the bubble effect which we have talked about on this program for a very long time. Her lyrics are really intense. Her music is really, really good. Mary, welcome to the program.

Mary Cutter (112:00)

Glenn, it is so good to be talking with you. Thanks for having me on.

Glenn Beck (112:03)

You bet. How old are you Mary? If you don't mind me asking?

Mary Cutter (112:07)

I am the age of Jesus. 33 a holy year.

Glenn Beck (112:13)

You look. You look very, very young. So good for you.

Mary Cutter (112:16)

Well, I'll taste that. I appreciate that sugar. Thank you.

Glenn Beck (112:19)

You bet. So tell me about Devil wear a lab Coat. Where, where is this coming from?

Mary Cutter (112:26)

Well, I mean it's coming from my heart. So I grew up in Kentucky and where in Kentucky? Right in the middle of the state. So where all the bourbons made is where I'm from. So I Don't know if you've ever heard of Bardstown. Oh, yeah, maybe. That's literally probably the closest civilization to where I'm from. So growing up as a kiddo, when we needed to go to the, the Walmart, we would drive into Bardstown. So that's kind of where. Where I grew up. And unfortunately, Glenn, just like a lot of parts of our country, I really saw the effects of what Big pharma, the opioid crisis, it just totally wrecked so many lives of folks where I'm from. And it been on my heart a long time to write about this. I live in Nashville now, and the last couple years I've been making my bread and butter writing for other artists to sing. And it's mainly commercial country music, right? So I knew I wanted to write this song. I brought it into a couple writing rooms. Everyone's like, song about big pharma, what else you got? Then finally, I guess it was about a month and a half ago, I was with two good buddies of mine, Brian Alexander and Ross Greave, and I just told them. I was like, man, you know, I don't know what this song will even do. I mean, I want us to write it like a song that, you know, you could run on the treadmill too, and that's just a jam, but I want us to not parse words and just say it like it is. And we wrote that song in less than 45 minutes. And I posted just the day of recording and it, it did its thing. I guess that's how we got connected. I mean, I'm still mind blown. I mean, I think it's like over 24 million views on social media. It's been, it's been wild, but it's because it's so many people have, unfortunately, you know, they, they've seen it with their own eyeballs. You know, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who has not been affected some way or know someone who has been affected by this crisis.

Glenn Beck (114:15)

You know, it's really interesting. Back in the 60s and early 70s, music would reflect the things that were going on. The pain and what the average person was thinking. It doesn't do that anymore. And it. There's just a couple of you, maybe a handful, that are actually writing lyrics about things that are truly going on, the hard, ugly things that are really going on in the country.

Mary Cutter (114:43)

Well, that means a lot coming from you, sugar. You know, there's nothing wrong, obviously, with, you know, writing a song about, you know, being at the bar right over someone. But What I really do connect with the most is writing songs about real people, real stories, and sometimes that is a little bit more gritty, but a little bit, you know, off the beaten path, but. But here we are. It seems like that's what the folks really resonate with, too.

Glenn Beck (115:08)

Is Nashville changing at all? I'm so afraid. I'm so afraid that the, you know, Hollywood will move out and all the. And they'll start taking that as well. There's something about the lyrics about country songs, that it is America. It's one of the last bastions of actual American anything. You and Ralph Lauren.

Mary Cutter (115:34)

Yeah, you're not wrong at all. And LA definitely is moving into town, I think since COVID especially. More and more folks, you know, we're hopping from California to Tennessee, and for good reason. Nashville's an awesome place. If, you know, someone hasn't been here, they ought to come in. It's a great place to visit. It's a great place to, you know, write music every day. You know, you go to the grocery store, you'll run into, literally people that are on the radio. You know, it's a small town in a big city. But the way I see it, you know, I definitely am excited that we're, you know, getting at least new musical ideas and musical way, like the producers out in LA are so talented. They're bringing those tools, teaching us Nashville folks how to do that. But I do think you're right, especially the lyric writing. It's so important to protect that. And I think. And I think folks, I think they will, because I think they know it's special.

Glenn Beck (116:25)

I hope so. I hope so. I mean, I'm. I'm concerned about with Hollywood moving into Austin, Texas, and so many people moving into Texas, it. It's a little frightening. We lose Texas to the other culture and, you know, it's. It's not going to go well. Can I talk to you about Smell the Smoke?

Mary Cutter (116:45)

Absolutely, sugar.

Glenn Beck (116:46)

So this. This is your second most popular song on Spotify. And I have Talked for probably 15 or 20 years about something called the Bubba Effect. And the Bubba Effect is when people know something is wrong, but they just no longer trust the government and they'll take care of their own. And even if they have to punish or whatever, the person in their community, they'll stand up for that person, even if they know they did wrong and they'll say, no, I don't know what you're talking about, you know, or, you know, bubba is part of our community. Get the hell out of here. That's kind of what smell the smoke is, right?

Mary Cutter (117:29)

Oh, 100%. And, you know, it's crazy. Glenn, that is a true story. So. And folks can read about this online. There's even books written about it. There was this group of folks from where I was from. I grew up listening to this story that I ended up writing a song about it. There was this group of fellows named the Cornbread Mafia. Now, they did not dub themselves that. The FBI did. And back in the 80s, it was just a group of farm farmers, bankers, preachers that were having trouble making ends meet. And so they started growing weed in the middle of their fields. And long story short, the FBI caught wind of it. They came down to where I'm from, they rounded them all up. I think there was around 70 people they arrested. Not a single person talked. And it was the largest roundup they had ever had, you know. You know, they would like, you know, round up the mafia. Back in the day, someone would normally talk, talk, but where I was from, nobody talked. And they ended up calling it the Cornbread Mafia. And so I wrote that song. And I guess it was a couple months ago I posted a. I posted a clip of the video. And I always kind of wonder. I was like, you know, a lot of those fellers are still alive. You know, obviously that wasn't that long ago. Well, one of the founders reached out to me. I thought, oh, this is either going to be a good message or a bad message. But he really liked the song, which was. It was pretty cool to, you know, just. Just tell the story. I mean, you're not wrong with the Bubba effect. It literally is that.

Glenn Beck (118:49)

So why didn't they talk? Why did nobody turn on each other? Just small town, everybody knew each other.

Mary Cutter (118:55)

I think it's loyalty and, you know, where I'm from and just like other. Next to the wood, especially in rural communities, they feel like they're born behind the eight ball. You know, they can work really hard from dawn to dusk every day and still have trouble.

Glenn Beck (119:09)

Yeah.

Mary Cutter (119:09)

Being their families. And there is, you know, right or wrong, obviously, but there's also this gray area. It's interesting you bring up this effect because I honestly, my song, Devil's Money, that is, I guess, the. The highest streaming song so far. That's a true story about my great granddaddy who was a bootlegger. Now he was a bootlegger in Bargetown, Kentucky. Remember, we were talking about the bourbon capital of the world. And he was a very religious man. And while he was a bootlegger, he ended up giving a portion of that money to build a church. And so it's just one of those things. Once again, was what he was doing against the law? Absolutely. Was he also trying to take care of his own? Absolutely.

Glenn Beck (119:52)

It's funny, because my grandfather, I found out recently, was a bootlegger. I have a picture of him with the. Still in the middle of nowhere.

Mary Cutter (120:01)

Oh, my gosh. Where was that at?

Glenn Beck (120:03)

Yeah, where. What?

Mary Cutter (120:05)

Where was that at?

Glenn Beck (120:06)

That was in Iowa. I'm trying to remember where. I can't remember. Yeah, but I don't.

Mary Cutter (120:12)

Crazy.

Glenn Beck (120:13)

Yeah. He didn't build a church. I think he bought himself a Packard, so.

Mary Cutter (120:18)

Well, you know what? Both work, you know, and that is really fascinating, too, learning about the family history and just the folks that came before us. It's so neat. Of course, social media connects us. All right. And I remember when I first posted Devil's Money, all these people comment like, my great grandfather was a bootlegger or my great uncle was, and I was like, wow. I didn't realize it was such a common thing. But I guess it. I guess it was, you know, those folks doing what they needed to do to get by.

Glenn Beck (120:46)

It was not popular with people at all. It was, you know, a group of progressive elites that said, no more liquor. And the whole country was like, are you out of your mind? And then it started to cause more problems, and people just started bootlegging because you're going to drink. Think. The. The people did not like the law and didn't like the idea that the federal government was going to come in and tell them what they could and couldn't do. So it. It's not like it is now, you know, with certain laws, it's. You don't.

Mary Cutter (121:18)

You don't look at it so interesting. It's so interesting. But there is something to be said for once again, just real folks doing real stuff and sometimes a little bit of a gritty situation. But they're interesting songs to write. I'll tell you what, Glenn. I have a blast doing it.

Glenn Beck (121:32)

That's so great, Mary. I wish you all the best of luck. You're just. You're really. You're wonderful. Your music's great, and you're just a delight to talk to. Thank you so much.

Mary Cutter (121:40)

Thank you. Have a good one.

Glenn Beck (121:42)

You, too. Mary Cutter, singer and songwriter in Nashville. This is her latest.

Mary Cutter (121:57)

Just on six feet of sound effects.

Glenn Beck (122:00)

Like a woman dressed in sheep's clothes.

Mary Cutter (122:04)

The devil wore a lab coat.

Glenn Beck (122:06)

It is. It's amazing to watch the Bubba effect in action, isn't it? I mean, Stu, you were just talking about the. The woman who called the little kid an N word, right?

Stu Burguiere (122:23)

That's from a few weeks ago.

Glenn Beck (122:24)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Stu Burguiere (122:25)

And evidence of that effect, potentially, Rob.

Glenn Beck (122:28)

Yeah. Everybody, like, rallied around her, and you're like, I don't want to rally around that, but I understand why she did it.

Stu Burguiere (122:35)

I mean, not why she did it.

Glenn Beck (122:36)

Well, I don't know what. I don't know what her. I don't know what her reason is, but I understand there's something else that's going around online. The. What was it, the. They calling it now, the black fatigue or something. And it's. It's. It's this. Yeah, it's this weird thing. I don't even know what it is, except it's something along the lines of, you know, you're just. You're tired of being told you're a racist. And. And blacks are in on this, too. So it's not just white people saying blacks are in on this, too. Saying the real. You know, I'm having a Denny's fight and nobody goes to jail, you know, and you're made to feel. Because you're not. Not black. You're. You're made to feel like you're the problem and, you know, the. Just. The ghetto people are just tired of ghetto talk. White, black, whatever. But I'm concerned.

Stu Burguiere (123:35)

The racism, the constant accusations of racism has been.

Glenn Beck (123:40)

And I'm really concerned where that's going, because you. We've swung so far one way. We cannot let the pendulum swing this far the other direction, because then it will. Then it just. Then it's vengeance. You know what I mean? And that's really, really bad, obviously. All right. American Financing. So you sat down last week to do your family budget, and you're pretty sure you blacked out somewhere around gas and groceries. When did being normal get so expensive? Mortgage, credit cards, car payments. It's like everybody decided to have a midlife crisis. Midlife crisis at once. I know it is hard to navigate the waters of your own financing, especially when the whole country is on pins and needles and it doesn't look like it's getting better. But is it? And if so, is it going to last more than that? I want you to take some time here and call American financing dot net. These people will sit down with you.

Glenn Beck (127:25)

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program. We found out over the weekend that Joe Biden has cancer and it doesn't look good and our condolences and thoughts are with the family and prayers are with the Biden family. Can we play cut 10? This is Joe Biden speaking in 2022.

Joe Biden (127:44)

And because it was a four lane highway that was accessible. My mother drove us. And rather than us be able to walk, walk. And guess what? The first frost, you knew what was happening. You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. That's why I and so damn many other people I grew up have cancer. And why can't for the longest time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.

Glenn Beck (128:11)

Stop. So he has cancer. That's 2022.

Stu Burguiere (128:14)

And we were told at the time that was a gaffe. Right, Right at the time that was like, oh, you know Joe Biden, he always says things that are insane.

Glenn Beck (128:21)

Yeah. So it wouldn't be a gaffe. It would a weird. I have a fire, you've had a fire, we're both firemen kind of stuff that he used to do. You know what I mean?

Stu Burguiere (128:31)

Yeah, he. I mean, it wouldn't have been shocking if the actual truth was he just said he had cancer when he didn't.

Glenn Beck (128:37)

Let's play quickly. Democrats responsible for major cover up. Listen to this. Do you feel like you were duped, Van? Like, how do you feel? First, this book is extraordinary. I don't care who you are, left, right or otherwise. Anybody who cares about this country and about just the dynamics of power.

Stu Burguiere (129:02)

This is the emperor's new clothes playing itself out in real time.

Glenn Beck (129:07)

Everybody knew, but everyone was afraid to.

Stu Burguiere (129:10)

Say, except for David Axelrod for two.

Glenn Beck (129:12)

Years, that something was wrong here. This is amazing. This is Van Jones saying the Democrats. He goes on to say the Democrats are. Were involved in a massive cover up and a crime against the Republic. That's pretty significant and that's pretty true. We'll see you tomorrow on radio and podcast. This is Glenn, Becky.
