See mintmobile.com hey, some good one has been on site in the Texas hill country helping with disaster recovery. Our executive director for Mercury One, JP Decker, gives you a way to help the people of Central Texas and a great report on what's really happening. Also, why are Democrats raising money to fund crazy radicals trying to stop ICE and border control agents attempting to arrest illegal rapists, murderers and child sex traffickers? And wait until you hear an op ed telling MAGA supporters, just get over the Epstein files. I think I have a good explanation on why you should care about the Epstein files. All right, let me talk to you about the burner launcher. Unless you've done some pretty, you know, have some pretty serious issues, you don't. You don't own guns because you're hoping to use one on somebody someday. No, you do it because you hope to never use them, but they're there in case. Well, that covers a wide range of emergency situations where violence is called for. But it doesn't cover all those situations because sometimes, let's say you're a in the car driving through the city, and now your car is surrounded by Hamas protesters pounding on the glass. What are you going to do? You shoot them? No. You drive over them? No. But with my burning launcher, I could roll down my window just a little bit, stick that out, and then pull the trigger. And within 60ft, I can. I can put people down on the ground with just a little tear gas. I'm just defending myself. I'm just moving on. Didn't want to hurt anybody. Of course not. I'm sorry. But my wife has a burner launcher. I have one in our car. She carries one. And I'm sorry. We're gonna use it. If I feel threatened, we're gonna put you down on the ground.

Glenn Beck
Hello America. You know, we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you right now. Would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars and leave a comment. Because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement. And you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. More rains in Texas, which, I mean, Texas. I've never seen Texas as green at this time of year. Oh, my gosh. It's like. It's incredible. It's lush. Yeah, it's beautiful here. Yesterday I was down downtown in place called Highland park, and I saw these green ribbons around the tree, and my first reaction was yellow ribbon. Who is? And then. And then my next reaction was like, all right, what is the green ribbon mean? And then I realized, oh, this is for all the loss of life here in Florida in the last flood. J.P. decker is with us now, who is runs Mercury One. And A.J. welcome.
JP Decker
Welcome. Thank you. It's good to be here.
Glenn Beck
First time JP ever. We've known each other for how long?
JP Decker
14, 15 years.
Glenn Beck
14, 15 years.
JP Decker
We low number there.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I know. I lose track of time, but you, for the very first time, you wrote to me on day one, and I said, what's happening with the floods? And you said, we're just staying out of the way. And I was like, what? For the first time ever since Mercury One's been doing this, he said, the state has this so buttoned up, we just want to stay out of the way. So we were just feeding people, right?
JP Decker
Yeah, we were just working with our partners because we didn't want to get in the way of the search and rescue. And like you were saying, the loss of life on this one, it's horrific to see what these kids went through.
Glenn Beck
Do you know what the loss of life is, Pat? Just off the top of your head?
Pat Gray
Last I saw it was 129.
JP Decker
Yeah, I think it's up to about 130, 140 now. And they're still missing.
Pat Gray
Still missing. Over 100.
JP Decker
Over 100.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
JP Decker
It's horrific.
Glenn Beck
It's horrific.
JP Decker
And they just had flooding again. So that means everything moves down more. But yeah, that first week we took a week until we went down because we wanted to stay out of the way. There were too many people that with the loss of life and the search and rescue.
Glenn Beck
Is this our, is this our footage?
JP Decker
Yeah, this is some of the drone footage from. And what's amazing about this is that it's, that's not even the river. That's right next to the river. So the whole Guadalupe runoff, this was just. Yeah, just a runoff. What's interesting though is walking through this area, there's just regular locals and probably people from all around Texas just searching. I mean they brought their own shovels, they brought their own pickaxes and they're just trying to, you know, help.
Glenn Beck
How do you, how do you search and stuff like that? I mean you're washed down and you were probably, I mean bodies would be swept up in the logs.
JP Decker
Yeah, yeah.
Glenn Beck
And silt.
JP Decker
There's search and rescue, rescue teams from all over the country. And that's, that's again, we saw that in North Carolina.
Glenn Beck
Look at that.
JP Decker
And it's just, it's, if you happen.
Glenn Beck
To be watching the blaze, it's, I mean this is footage that Mercury One just brought back and it is. Is that the runoff or is that the river?
JP Decker
That is part of that. Is the river right there and right in that area we're helping a little town because it was. There's about 26 homes that were hit pretty hard by it. And so we're helping that area provide, you know, the sheetrock and everything they need to kind of rebuild. But the day before we were in that neighborhood about 200 yards away. They found two adults and a little nine month old.
Glenn Beck
Oh my gosh.
Pat Gray
Oh geez.
JP Decker
And that's a week after this.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
JP Decker
And just the deadly.
Pat Gray
There's still 101 people missing.
JP Decker
Yep.
Pat Gray
132 confirmed dead and 101 missing. It's unbelievable.
JP Decker
It's horrific. And you know, it's interesting, you know, just talking with some of the locals about what they're going through and almost everyone said we're Texans, we're going to get through it. And then when you, we talked to all of our partners and they said this is unlike any disaster we've ever seen. And we've been doing. Some of them have been doing it for 15, 20 years. And they said the response from the administration helped us to be able to help them long term.
Glenn Beck
And you mean administration, the state. State.
JP Decker
And federal.
Glenn Beck
And federal.
JP Decker
Because they sent the national. I mean, not. Yeah, they sent the National Guard, but also the Coast Guard. I mean, the Coast Guard got there within no time. We saw the story about the diver, and it's cool to see when administrations do the job. But we as Mercury One, you know, we always challenge or when we're there and talking with people. Last week, we kind of said, hey, we're gonna need about. We challenged our donors a million dollars. And when we say that our people know that we do not take admin costs. It's not saying, hey, come, you know, help us keep the lights on so we can go help people. It's literally a million dollars to go help in the hill country. And as soon as we got to the hill country, we got a text from our team saying, within 48 hours, the donors raised a million dollars. And usually with that, we do have to pay credit card fees, but the donors chose to pay 25,000 dol to go help these people. And I think that that alone tells you one, how amazing our donors are, but how amazing your listeners are because they believe and they trust what we're doing with the funds.
Glenn Beck
I have to tell you, JP, I'm so proud of MercuryOne and I'm so proud of what you've created. It's. I mean, you are there, and you're the first in the last out every time. And it's just so good.
JP Decker
It's so good to see that, to have a nonprofit to where you can honestly say, we're gonna help you and we're gonna be there. And unfortunately, we kept hearing as soon as the president had left, which so glad he was there, a lot of NGOs left. And as soon as the cameras left, they left. And so we kept hearing this from all of our partners. And thank God when we choose a partner, we go through a long dating period, and we make sure that they are, you know, vetted and taken care of. But they. They're staying. We're staying for a long time. I mean, we just. I just got an update this morning. We're up to almost 150 homes rebuilt in North Carolina. Our goal is 400 over the next two years. And 100% of the funds that came in last year go to help those people. And it's just.
Glenn Beck
So we have the money for 400.
JP Decker
Houses because of the donors last year, we were very close to being able to cover all of it.
Glenn Beck
Wow. Yeah.
JP Decker
And so same thing with north, with Texas. We're going to be there for a long time helping rebuild these homes because even though, you know, you're in the main area, the main town, you see people kind of going about their business, going to a local store, buying some plants, but then you go right around the corner and the destruction starts. And so the difference with North Carolina, the infrastructure was gone and no one was coming in to help them here. There's power on in the buildings, the businesses are going to run, but it's the loss of life and the homes that are gone, there's so many mobile homes that are just destroyed. We talked to one mom that lost her husband and she and her kids are just living on a couch. So we're helping provide hotel rooms. We're also looking at helping to pay for the funerals of some of these kids and some of these families because they don't have the funds for it. And again, we're seeing that most people did not have flood insurance in this area. And so insurance companies have already denied a couple people that we reached out to, which amazingly, they responded that fast. And we're going to help, we're going to help rebuild because we want this area to be the hill country again. We don't want it to be anything else. We don't want people to come in and, you know, take over the land. Like we've seen some of that in.
Glenn Beck
Lahaina, but see that now in Los Angeles.
JP Decker
Los Angeles is a nightmare.
Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah. And this is the state and the city coming in just. And we told you that was going to happen. That that is their plan. Yeah, that is a plan that was on the books.
Pat Gray
Low income housing in place. Pacific Palisades.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. But they're also, they're also buying it up and preserving now like that exactly what they were doing in Lahaina. You said that was going to happen. And they're just like, you can't live there anymore.
JP Decker
Yeah, you can't live there. We need to build like a green space to make sure that it's really taken care of. Yeah, sure. Okay. But you know, we, we helped in Los Angeles as well with generators to the local churches and we're helping because of what some of our donors did rebuild some of those local churches that, that were destroyed and no insurance and not the state. Nobody's Going to help them. It's just there's so many little stories that we can tell for generations about what Mercury1's done.
Glenn Beck
It's really an amazing thing. And, you know, I'm. I'm amazed at how well the money is managed and how far you guys make this money go. It is really remarkable.
JP Decker
Takes an amazing team.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And I know we have some announcements coming, and I'm really excited.
JP Decker
Me, too.
Glenn Beck
It's. Next year is going to be a very exciting year for Mercury One.
Pat Gray
Yep.
Glenn Beck
Very exciting. Yep. Thank you.
JP Decker
Thank you.
Glenn Beck
If you want to get involved, all you have to do is go to mercury1.org mercury1.org when there is a disaster, we are there. And. And I'll tell you, I don't know if either one of you know why I say 100% goes. When we raise something for like this, it goes to whatever it is we're talking about. You want to raise something, you want to give something now for Texas, you just go to the website and say, I want to be. I want to help this disaster. And it will. 100% goes there. Do you know why that is? Do you know what happened? What gave me this idea years ago? It was right after 9, 11, and it was a year after. And remember all of the fundraisers that the Red Cross did and all of these big shows, and we raised all this money, and I find out about a year later that they spent. I can't remember. It was. It was just around a million dollars, I think, on a new phone system.
Pat Gray
I remember that.
Glenn Beck
Remember that?
Pat Gray
Yeah.
JP Decker
That was the Red Cross.
Glenn Beck
It was a red Cross. And I lost my mind.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Like, you're kidding me, right? We. We stood in line to give blood. We gave money. We wanted to make sure it was going to the firefighters, it was going to rebuild, whatever. And you bought a new phone system with that money?
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And it drove out of my mind, and I was like, if I ever started a charity or if I actually. It wasn't even that at that time. It was, I want to find the charity that will guarantee me that none of that crap comes out of the money I'm giving. I'm not giving. So you can give a new. Get a new phone system.
Pat Gray
That was what.
Glenn Beck
Raise that another way.
JP Decker
It's hard to find that kind of a nonprofit.
Glenn Beck
I know.
Pat Gray
It is really hard. Yep. Yeah. Anybody who does over 60% is usually unusual. If 60% of your donation goes to where you intend for it to go, and then 40% administration, that's unusual.
Glenn Beck
Well, everything that we raise. Right. Can we say this right? Everything that we raise, when it is earmarked, we have a general fund. And we mark that clearly that this is to keep the lights on. But that's why we usually do these fundraisers. Yeah. But everything, everything goes right directly to the source. Yep.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
That's incredible. Unheard of. That's unheard of. Thank you. Appreciate it. It's mercury1.org mercury1.org and thank you as an audience. You amaze me. You truly amaze me. You give me so much hope that there are, there's good, profound, profound, good left in this country. And every day you as, because, you know, I don't open up the mail and see the checks. I do get a report, you know, every quarter, you know, in board meets. And I see it. It's not coming in in, you know, hundred thousand dollar chunks. It's coming in in 10, 20, 50, $100 chunks. People who are just, they don't have the money to give big. It's just so many people just doing what they can. And I wish I could share, I wish I could share that hope with you. I wish you could see what I see from my vantage point. It's remarkable what this audience really is. This is the best. The Glenn Beck program. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor. Look, if you want to keep waking up every morning grimacing and groaning and doing that weird little hobble thing to the coffee maker, I mean, who am I to stop you? But you can't live in constant nagging pain. I mean, unless that's what makes you happy. Some people collect stamps, some people take up fishing. Maybe your hobby is quietly suffering through silence. I'm not here to judge you. I'm just here to let you know there is an option, and it's called Relief Factor. So many people use it every single day to fight pain from aging, exercise or just life in general. And it's working for them. I've seen the reviews. I've heard the stories. People who thought they never golf again, never run again, never sleep through the night again. Now they're out living their lives without the constant pain. But again, if you'd rather complain about your back, your knees, your shoulders, that's it's your right. You can do it. But Relief Factor is there. If you ever get tired of all of that, give their three week quick start a try for only $19.95. Visit relieffactor.com or call 8 for relief. That's 800. The number four relief. Pat Gray is joining us today from Pat Gray Unleashed. Welcome, Pat.
Pat Gray
Thank you. Good to be here.
Glenn Beck
You are. You are so welcome. Is it good to be here? I mean, you've already done your podcast, so it's good to be here.
Pat Gray
Still good to be.
Glenn Beck
Still good to be here.
Pat Gray
Yeah. Loving it.
Glenn Beck
Every minute of it. What a. Yeah. What a crock that is. Well, anyway, welcome to the program. There's. There's a couple of things going on. There's a new Democratic leading activist group that is now. Now raised more than $750,000 for mobile response teams. Now, I know we just talked about Mercury One and their mobile response teams, you know, going. Trying to help find bodies here in Texas. Theirs is to confront Immigration and Customs Enforcement during raids. In California. The organization is Save America Movement. It's asking for your donation so its teams can follow ICE raids in real time. The group began launching its first political ads and social media accounts in June. In a fundraising webpage, it shows they wanted to raise $1 million for the anti ICE initiative. So far, I believe they have. Yes, $764,254 quote. ICE agents are raiding LA in masks without badges, names, or accountability. These ICE agents don't have names or badges. Really? Wow. And they wear masks. I wonder why they might wear masks. You know, maybe it's because the people on the streets are also wearing masks. Now, why would the people on the streets be wearing masks, Pat? I. I'm trying to figure that one out. Why would they be wearing masks?
Pat Gray
Perhaps they don't want to be identified.
Glenn Beck
Don't want to be identified. Why?
Pat Gray
They're committing illegal acts.
Glenn Beck
Okay, good. Yeah, good, good. And they know if they're identified, then the good guys will come and arrest them. But seeing that they think they're the good guys and the police are the bad guys, why would the police be wearing masks? Because the police know the bad guys will identify them and come get them and their children at night. Uh, there's one that's on the righteous side. One that is not on the righteous side. I'm trying to remember which one's which. So the Save America Movement is launching its Liberty Vans, mobile response teams with Camerons with cameras, chaplains. Now, I'm just. I'm just trying to imagine the chaplains that might be going with them. Chaplains, lawyers and veterans to show the world what's happening in our communities. What is happening in the communities. I'm. I'm. I'm wondering now. The group announced its steering committee on June 18th. That includes Erica Alexander, Dr. Reverend William Barber, Ryan Busey, Steve Schmidt and Billy Ray. These at least Alexander and Barber have spoken at the Democratic National Convention. Alexander campaigned for a. The, for Hillary Clinton. She was, you know, campaigning for Hillary Clinton. And by the way, Hillary Clinton was so popular, she lost. Schmidt was also the co founder of the anti Trump Lincoln Project before stop stepping down in 2021. So this is just the usual suspects. Did you remember, Pat, when we were working at Fox and we were doing all that research and remember we would look into these organizations would be like same 12 people every time, same 12 people. It was like there were only like 25 to 50 revolutionaries that were actually. And none of these guys were revolutionaries. All of these guys were all political figures that were all orchestrating and funding everything. It was the revolutionaries that'd be like, yeah, you go out and do that. Yeah, I'm gonna be here. I got your back, though. I got your back. You should go out and blow yourself up. I mean, it's, it's the same thing with the mullahs. The mullahs are never the ones going out. They're not, they're never like. And I'm gonna show you how much I believe in this. I'm going out and blowing myself up. No, no. It's the same thing with the dnc. All of these people, all behind the scenes, they're using you. I don't know how you don't see that they're using you. And then again, on the other hand, I don't see how the Democrats don't see. No, the radicals now are using you. Now the radicals are in charge. And be afraid, be very afraid, because they're going to come for you before they come for me. You think they're going to eat us first? But I mean, we had this story, what was it last week? Did you see the story where, where Democratic politicians are now saying they're afraid of their own constituents?
Pat Gray
Yeah, right. Yeah.
Glenn Beck
They're saying their own constituents are saying, you know what, maybe you should die so we could get some attention to our cause. You know, we need some blood to be spilled for a real revolution. And the Democratic politicians, like, wait, wait, wait, my blood.
Pat Gray
They got a little taste of that during the Palestinian Israeli situation because everywhere Democrats went, they were committing genocide because they supported Israel. So they got a little taste of, of how the left can turn on them.
Glenn Beck
I do. We need to go through Minneapolis. I mean, look what happened in Minneapolis. I mean, I don't know. Do I have this story? Where is it? There's a story today on the Minneapolis. Okay. Yeah. Here. The mini. The Minnesota assassin. Vance. What is it? Bolter.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Said neither his pro life worldview nor his support for Donald Trump were motivations behind the deadly June 14th shooting rampage that left a top Democratic lawmaker dead and another serious wounded. Now he's pro life and he's a supporter of Donald Trump, yet he worked.
Pat Gray
For the Democrats appointed by two Democratic governors.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, and I'm trying to. I'm trying to make that fit. You're a pro life that also is a big supporter of Donald Trump and you go to work for Tim Walls. I mean, I, I mean, I know sometimes Common Core math hurts when you try to think, but this one is almost impossible. Even, Even if, even if I say you're right, if you just show me how you got there, I don't think I could show you that you're right on that one. He said he. His pro life worldview or his deep, deep support for Donald Trump were not motivations. I'm gonna let you chew on that one for a while. That's his quote from prison. He's waiting for trial. And the New York Post did a interview with him. He said, you're fishing and I can't talk about my case. I'll say it didn't involve either Trump or pro life stuff. I'll just say there's a lot of information that will come out in the future that people will look at and judge for themselves. That goes back 24 months, before the 14th, if the governor ever lets that get out. Now, wait a minute. Tim Walls is the governor. Um, he faces possible federal grand jury indictment this week after being charged with six felony stalking and murder related counts of the killing of the Democratic lawmaker. And by the way, if you're really, if you're really on the right, why would you kill the lawmaker that just voted with the Democrats, or, sorry, just voted with the Republicans? She actually took a hard line and a very hard decision. She didn't want to, but she said, I just feel like it's the right thing for the state and it's killing me to vote this way, but I feel I really have to. And so she does. And then this guy goes. Kills her because he's such a big conservative. What? Any of this makes sense to you?
Pat Gray
None. No, none of it.
Glenn Beck
During two 20 minute video visits with the Post, he said police have withheld key details from his handwritten letter left by the alleged person in a getaway car. It was the alleged person. I think it's his wife. The Letter which has not been released, was addressed to FBI Director Cash Patel. My wife and family had nothing to do with any of this. Certain details of that letter were leaked out. That probably painted one kind of a picture. But a lot more important details that were in that letter were not leaked out. He refused to elaborate, saying the withheld details related to things that were going on in Minnesota. Huh. Hmm. Huh. I also made sure when I was arrested that they secured that letter. I made the request that they secure that letter before it gets destroyed because I was concerned somebody would destroy it. Police found a handwritten note in the suspect's fake police SUV with a hit list of more than 50 Democrat officials from at least six states. Police found other notes with directions to the Hortman home and a list of websites used to gather information on the targets. Asked by the Post how he felt about the shooting victims and their families, he said, you can maybe ask if someone believes that and they love God and they love their neighbor, allegedly, how they could be involved in a situation where some people are no longer here that were here before. But I'll let you chew on that one, too. I don't.
Pat Gray
So bizarre.
Glenn Beck
Well, a little nuts. Yeah, a little nuts, yeah. Uh, the letter left behind for the FBI also alleged that they claimed Tim Walls told him to murder Amy Klobuchar and others so he could run for U.S. senate. Now, I can believe a lot of thing about Tim Walls, but I don't believe that.
Pat Gray
You don't buy that.
Glenn Beck
I don't buy that. No, I don't. You know, you believe a lot of stuff about Tim Walls, but no, no, I'm not gonna buy that one. He would not discuss his views or relationship with Tim Walls. The Democratic vice presidential nominee, Walz appointed Bowler to a four year term on the Governor's Workforce development Board in December of 2019. Then the mark Dayton, the also Democratic Minnesota governor, appointed him to another board, the same kind of board in 2016. So the guy's been working for Democrats Democrats for a very, very long time. But pay no attention to that. Pay no attention to that. Democrats, you're fine. Your base isn't about to rise up and kill you. This. Remember warning about this. We in 2008 and 9, I was like, you cannot get into bed with crazy radicals. You can't. Crazy being part of the word radical. The other important word in crazy radicals. They'll kill you when they don't think that you're taking this revolutionary revolution seriously enough. Which is exactly what's happening. Ice. They're now going out in the streets and they're, they're shooting at ice and they know that Donald Trump doesn't want them to do that. But you're on their side. And let me see if anybody remembers where this line came from. You betrayed the revolution. Oh, yeah, that's right, that's right, that's right. Right at the gallows. I don't remember what country that was that had not the gallows, but the, you know, the guillotines. You betrayed the revolution. That's what happens in revolutions if you're not revolutionary enough for the most bloodthirsty, they come after you and they come after you first. That's what's coming, America. What, what is happening? And I'm going to give you some other stories. What is happening on the streets right now is a lead up to serious, serious trouble on the streets and bloodbath on the streets. Pray for our law enforcement. Ah, no, don't even pray about that because what could possibly happen if law enforcement decides. I'm not putting up with this anymore because the cities just aren't going to support them. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? We have Elon Musk and Grok for and his robots all ready to go. He said last week, all I have to do now is download Grok4 into the heads of my robots and they'll be able to take care of everything. Wouldn't that be great? We could have a robot police force.
Pat Gray
That usually works out well, it's coming. And all the documentaries I've seen really well.
Glenn Beck
It always works out really well. Well, it didn't in iRobot.
Pat Gray
Remember, it was just that one document.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, that one documentary. But, but that's because, you know, they had, you know, they had the four rules, remember?
Pat Gray
Yeah, yeah.
Glenn Beck
And the good news is in rai, we decided those four rules didn't need to be put in. So we don't have those four rules in our AI, you know, don't know why, but probably wasn't going to work anyway. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. I don't know who wrote this. And it's from Blaze. It's from the Blaze. And I don't know who wrote this and I hope it's not a friend of mine because, boy, do I disagree with you. You know, I. Most people don't know this. I sold the Blaze several years ago. So I don't know. I don't, I don't, I don't have anything to do with any of this. I don't know who wrote this at all. But it's also a good thing that I don't own the Blaze today, at least for this individual. Um, here is the. Trump moves on from Epstein and MAGA should, too. Opinion from Blaze media. President Trump's official repudiation of the Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory has caused considerable consternation and conflict on the right. Absolutely true. But with that comes the opportunity to grow. Absolutely true. Maga's enduring fascination with this supermarket tabloid story. Okay, we're off the rails. Represents one of the weaknesses of populism, namely the tendency towards histrionic and grandiose speculation that leads to nowhere productive. Let me ask you. This is a. Wow, this is a tabloid story. This is a tablet. No, I think P. Diddy is a tabloid story. This is a story of some of our biggest heads of state from all over the world, the biggest corporations in the world, all doing business with a guy who is tied into politics, possibly intel and our government. That doesn't sound like a, Hollywood, you know, rag telling the story. I mean, I don't. That's, you know. No, I'm not looking through it going, is George Clooney in this one? Okay. And it's populism. This is populism. To be blunt, the Epstein saga was a waste of bandwidth. Really? Is it? Have you always been saying that? I wish I knew who this was. I'd like to know. Have you always been saying that, or is it just now? It's been a waste of bandwidth. And now that Trump and his team have ripped off the bandage, we can move on to bigger and more compelling issues like those on which Trump campaign. He campaigned on this. I don't know if you. If you missed that somehow or another, he campaigned on this. And this is not a waste of bandwidth. This isn't populism. This isn't a tabloid story. This, in a nutshell, is being used as the vessel to carry all of the hopes and dreams that maybe someone will clean up Washington, D.C. that's what this is. This is a group of people who voted for change in Washington, just like people did with Obama. He's going to be more transparent. He wasn't more transparent. He was absolutely corrupt. Okay, so was anybody going to clean up the corruption? We voted for Trump because he said, look, there's some things that, you know, need to be clear. And I just. I'm gonna. I'm gonna unleash all of it. For instance, everybody said, oh, United States government killed Kennedy. What did he do? He came in and he released all the files. What did we find? Maybe. Maybe. But no smoking gun. And what did we do? We moved on. Why? Because we had all the facts. Now all the facts are out, and we could see that there is nothing. There was that one tabloid you want to talk about a waste of a bandwidth. That happened, you know, in the 1960s. Everybody that they were trying to keep the secret on were dead. The only reason to keep that secret is because it involved intel. And if they were doing those things back in the 60s, what are they doing today? That's why that mattered. That's why this one matters. I really don't care. I really don't care. If we. If we saw all the details and it was as lackluster as the RFK and JFK files were, I'd be happy. I want that to be the truth. Show them to me. Here's all we're asking. Take me by the hand and say, glenn, look, I want to take you down. I want to take you down and I want to show you what we have. If the President came out and said, look, here's the thing. This is a thousand fingerprints all over it. This is 15 years in the making. It was not only in our hands, it was in Biden's hands. It's been in the hands of the DOJ on all sides. It has had every senator, every congressman, everybody, everybody who possibly could have had an ax to grab. It is had the CIA. We have no idea what's true and what's not. At this point, I can look at all of this stuff and I'd love to tell you there's a case here, but I can't tell you. It's not the facts that we have or don't have. It's, can we make a case? And the answer is no.
Pat Gray
I would have been totally satisfied with that.
Glenn Beck
Totally satisfied.
Pat Gray
But that's not how it went down.
Glenn Beck
Nope.
Pat Gray
Instead, we heard, I've seen it, and there's something there. And when we're in charge, we're going to release it all and we're going to be completely transparent. Then we're told it doesn't exist. Wait, you told me you already saw it. What do you mean, it doesn't exist? So you were looking at something that doesn't exist. That's a problem. And that's why we can't be satisfied with this.
Glenn Beck
Now, you can't have Pam Bondi say, it's sitting on my desk. Now, here's what I think happened. I don't need any. What do you call it, Histrionic or Grandiose speculation. This writer is a. Anyway, I don't need any grandiose speculation. Here's what I think happened. Nothing was on Pam Bondi's desk. But Pam Bondi wanted to go on TV and make news. She wanted to control the story. She wanted her slice of it. So she said, it's sitting on my desk now. Maybe something was on her desk, but there was nothing in it. Okay, this is what I believe. There was nothing in it. And then when she opened it up the next day and was like, oh, wait, there's nothing in it. I guess I should have done my homework before I said this and passed out the folders. Hmm. Then what does she do? She doesn't have anything. So she panics again on television and says, well, the FBI is holding it from us. And what was the logical response? If that was true, then FBI Washington should go to FBI New York and begin arresting people who are obstructing this. Right? That's what you do. She didn't do that. Why? Most logical answer. There is not some grand conspiracy. She was lying. She was lying. So then after that, she says nothing. And then only to come out and go, yep, there are nothing there. Well, I'm sorry, I. You know, you blew your chance to just say that without any kind of proof. Now if the President would come out and say, look, you know, there aren't. There's, there's no smoking gun here. There's nothing. We will release the files. None of the names. But I'll show you. There's nothing in the files. But we're not gonna release the names. Cuz who's guilty, who's innocent? You. You could even go that far. We are going to. Now just release the re. We're gonna ask the courts, and the courts have to decide on their own. We're gonna ask the courts, unseal the records from the court cases. Okay. And even redact the names to protect the innocent. Redact the names, but we'll show you. This is everything we have. What's the problem with that? Why? Why is that a problem? Now, if this were the Kennedy case, you might be able to say, what was it? You say it was a weight, a waste of bandwidth. But as we found out in the Kennedy case. Well, maybe not, because it showed that there was a real possibility the CIA was somewhat involved. Not in planning the assassination, but around the assassination. They knew things that they've always denied. Now, I don't know why, but it shows. You can't trust the CIA. That should be something that we all know and recognize, especially when you're talking about things like, I don't know, usaid, that's a CIA op, and it has been since the Kennedy administration. Okay, is that. Is this alone important? Well, yeah. I mean, it is children being raped. So, yeah, I do think we matter. You know, it's when. Here's what people don't understand about this case. This is not just regular corruption. This is not just regular. You know, this is not depravity. Like Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden, that was depravity, but it was with hookers and everything else. This is with children. With children. You know, when you attack institutions and everything else, you didn't see people stand up. But once you went after the schools, that's when people started to stand up. What's the difference? Children. This has children involved. This is depravity with children. A little like when you're telling my kid they can be a girl or a boy, when they can't. It's this depravity. Like we're gonna go and mutilate your body without you knowing about it, without your parents knowing about it, because we have the right to do it with your children. This has that connection, that emotional connection to it. And it is also the vessel of can we trust if we don't have trust? Those of us on the right know without trust there is nothing left. And so I believe that you're doing MAGA a very grave disservice by saying to the president, you know what? You moved on. Everybody else should move on. No, Mr. President, please. Your whole thing is built on trust. People still trust you in the MAGA movement. They still trust you. They still like you. You. They like what you're doing. But this is confusing. This is the first time we've seen something. They're like, wait a minute, that doesn't make sense. And now everybody's pouncing on it and it's only going to get worse. You just need to stop for 30 seconds and say, I see what you're seeing. I get it. I get it. I've heard you. I've heard you. It's about trust. And then give us the explanation on why you believe it. Take the time to bring us along in the story, then get Pam Bondi off her ass. I mean, I know she's done. I shouldn't say this. She's done a lot on January 6th. She's done a lot on that. Or is it the 20th? January. January 6th. Yeah, she's done a lot on that and she is moving and the Senate has not confirmed any of the prosecutors. I think they've done 1.
Pat Gray
1. And that just happened.
Glenn Beck
Right. She needs the prosecutors to be able to do stuff. So there's something that is very positive that could happen. You start saying we need the prosecutors and have MAGA start stepping up and saying senate pass these and confirm these prosecutors so we can get something done to restore trust in our country. Then all you have to do is go after the grand conspiracy theory. Theory. This is what we talked about yesterday on on the program. The FBI and the DOJ apparently are pursuing a grand conspiracy, which means all of the statute of limitations goes away. If you can connect conspiracy theory to conspiracy theory to conspiracy theory, which they are doing, you can go all the way back to the beginning of Russiagate. That gets all of the bad guys. Then the president can say now you understand that I want you to know the reason why I'm saying we've got to move on is because we have this and a lot of the bad guys are going to be scooped up in one investigation and one prosecution. I want you to focus on this one. And I believe we would accept that. Some will never accept. They never will. And we all know that. But you've got to take us and lead us. I'm not even going to finish the rest of it because the rest of this article just made blood shoot out of my eyes. But it is. It's important that the president understands we want to believe. You just have to help us put us in a box. Go ahead. That just gives us something to break out of the because the next generation 2025 GMC terrain elevation is raising the standard of what comes standard as far as expectations go, why meet them when you can shatter them?
