Glenn Beck
As a gun owner, I understand the importance of being prepared. But it is crucial to recognize that according to law enforcement statistics, 99% of all altercations do not require lethal force.

Governor Greg Abbott
Hey. I'm doing great. How you doing?
- [04:04]
Glenn Beck
I'm good. I, you know, the. The last time you were on, I think we were talking about sharia law and what you were doing, you know, to, you know, curb the Muslim. The Muslim city, Epic City, from happening. And right after that, you declared that the. The CAIR was a terrorist organization and they're suing you. Now, if I'm not mistaken, they filed a lawsuit against you. There's a big story in, I think it's the Houston Chronicle I was reading earlier today, and they say they've been helping the United States, you know, capture really bad guys. Any response to that?
- [04:46]
Governor Greg Abbott
Well, listen, on care, they will say one thing to the press, but also, you mentioned the lawsuit. They say a different thing in Cork than what they say in the press. And going back to the lawsuit, it's because I issued the proclamation designating CARE as a foreign terrorist organization. They took offense to that. They said, oh, we're a peaceful organization. And in federal court, they filed a complaint rebutting everything that I outlined in that proclamation. And then we filed an answer or a response to their court pleading. Because of the strength of our response, they were required to file an amended pleading in court and get what they did in their amended pleading that reveals exactly who CARE is. Let me walk you through four things. One, CARE's amended pleading in court deleted numerous assertions that CARE had previously made in its original pleading. Get this. When they first filed the lawsuit against me, they said they were in full compliance with federal and state Law. And then after we filed our answer, they went back and deleted.
- [05:56]
Glenn Beck
Wow.
- [05:57]
Governor Greg Abbott
They were. That. They, they were deleted. They deleted that they were full of compliance to federal state law. And get this, it's going to get worse. They deleted what they previously said that they were not affiliated with any foreign organization. They deleted that they were not engaged in terrorism. They deleted. They were not threat. They deleted. They were not a threat to national security. So when they went to court and faced the consequences of a judge maybe issuing harsh rulings against them, they started walking back. All these things about them that they're saying, oh, they're good citizens and all that kind of stuff and this is a concession on their part that actually they are not in compliance with federal state law, that they are engaged in terrorism, that they are a threat to national security.
- [06:45]
Glenn Beck
So I have been talking about CARE for a very long time and no one was interested in taking them on. But times have really changed. You know, the same with the Muslim Brotherhood. Are. I know the state of Texas is not the United States. I know you're serious about it. Are we going to actually follow through? Are we going to see an end to some of these organizations and their, their shells, their covers?
- [07:13]
Governor Greg Abbott
We are. So let me tell you what's going on. Just a minor note again, going back to the CARE lawsuit that will apply to both CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood. We got into the courtroom and CARE said, listen, we don't need any discovery. We just need the judge to make a ruling. The judge said, no, no, no, no, no. The state deserves the ability to engage in discovery, to learn about all these allegations the state has made, to back it up. And what that means is we're going to be able to look into their books, their communications, everything they've ever said and done. We're going to be able to follow the money and find out who's funding them, who they are funding, all that kind of stuff. But in addition to that, as you know, since I last talked to you just recently, the President designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. And that will lead to, that will unleash all the massive angles of attack by the federal government to find out everything about the Muslim Brotherhood. And I'll tell you something else, and that is a leader in the United States House of Representatives made a joint call like what I did, and that is to eliminate the 501 status for care. And so this is taking root in the United States Capitol, in the White House, in the Texas Attorney General's office, as well as the Texas Governor's office. And so we are bringing the full weight of government against these organizations that have provided material support to terrorists.
- [08:50]
Glenn Beck
So tell me, I was just speaking in here in Irving, Texas, just a couple of days ago at a as at an event called Safe Texas. And it, and it was about the rising threat of Sharia law. And they're saying that we need a law against Sharia law in Texas. Can you give us any update on the Sharia courts or anything you've been looking into?
- [09:17]
Governor Greg Abbott
Yeah, well, let me, let me just answer straightforward what's going on with Sharia law, where we are and where we're going First? Obviously, we've done more than any state to fight back against Sharia law and Sharia compounds like in what we did in shutting down the epicenter up there. But here's the deal. In addition to the action that we've taken by our state agencies, as well as legal action to stopping that Sharia compound, Texas already has laws that ban Sharia law, especially one explicit in our family code. But get this, because this is going to be exciting for you to watch unfold and talk about here in the coming weeks. And that is in Texas, we have Republican primaries coming up on March 3rd. And in addition to voting on candidates, there is a ballot proposition in the Republican primary that Republican voters can vote on, and that is vote to have a complete ban on Sharia law in the state of Texas. Let me say something that's going to pass overwhelmingly and that will energize when we go into this next session. It will lead to a new law with a total ban on Sharia law in the state of Texas. And then it will impose a duty on the attorney General to fully enforce that ban on Sharia law. So Texas already does have the strongest pushback against Sharia law of any state in the country. But we're going to take it the full load and do everything possible to make Sharia law. Has no presence in Texas whatsoever.
- [10:52]
Glenn Beck
Only got a minute left. Any, any comment on what's happening with ICE in Minnesota?
- [10:58]
Governor Greg Abbott
Listen, this is crazy because you and I and most people have learned that you don't interfere with law enforcement. ICE is a law enforcement agency. ICE is carrying out a law enforcement function when they're trying to arrest people who are here illegally and everything else that they're doing. And when people get involved and interfere with and impede the ability of law enforcement to do their job, they're putting themselves in danger themselves. But then when they use a deadly weapon, such as a vehicle that could have stricken one of those ICE agents. And something else I'll tell you that not many people have picked up on. And that is in addition to the guy in front of the car who shot the arm of another ICE agent was inside the car. Glenn, there are a lot of stories about peace officers being run over or dragged by vehicles. And there were different ways in which all these law enforcement officers could have been harmed. And they are fully entitled by law to use deadly force to stop one of their agents from being harmed by someone who is violating the law. This is a pure violation of law, top side and bottom by the driver of that car.
- [12:12]
Glenn Beck
Do you think there's any way Tim Walsh didn't know that all of this was going on? And I mean the corruption you as governor, wouldn't you know that size corruption was going on in your state?
- [12:26]
Governor Greg Abbott
Listen, I think Timoth knew exactly what was going on. I think he was a co participant and aided and abetted it. And I don't think, as you point out, I don't think it is possible for you to see that level of corruption going on in a state like that. And also with him having the ties that he had to the Somalia community for him not to have known about it, I think this is all going to be fully exposed.
- [12:51]
Glenn Beck
I hope so. Governor, thank you very much. I appreciate your time. I know you're a busy man. Governor Greg Abbott from the great state of Texas. We're coming back with Chip Roy who wants to be the attorney general in Texas. And I know he is strong on Sharia law. He has just started something in Congress that I think is important as him and I think seven other people. I don't know why there's not 100 or, you know, maybe a couple hundred people in Congress that aren't part of this, but we'll talk to him about it. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. In case you haven't noticed, life is really busy. Most of us, you know, don't think twice about our cell phone service. It's just there, it works. The bill gets paid, we move on. But the money doesn't just vanish, it goes somewhere. And with most wireless companies, its funding causes an active activism their customers never agreed to support. Patriot Mobile exists because that shouldn't be the default. They, they provide the reliable nationwide cell service on the same major networks that they're, you know, you're already using. And it's a very different set of priorities. In fact, they were the sponsors of this session, Gert Wielders they brought in from what, the Netherlands, to speak about Sharia law. I was there. And that's what they spend some of their proceeds on. You know, they, they ship it over to their other arm, Patriot Mobile Action. And they're actually fighting things that you believe in, not fighting, you know, for things that you are standing against all the time. Like other mobile phone Companies, it's patriot mobile.com/back. The only Christian conservative wireless provider in existence. 972-patriot. 972.patriot or patriot mobile.com/back, make sure you use the promo code BECK Get a free month of service. 972 patriot patriot patriot mobile.com/back 10 seconds. Station ID. Well, let me start with Chip Roy. The same place I left off with the governor here just a second ago, the Minnesota ICE shooting. Any comments on that, Chip?
- [14:55]
Chip Roy
Yeah, Glenn, I mean, look, I went to the House floor last night talking about the extent to which our colleagues on the other side of the aisle, Democrats particularly looking at Governor Wall Street. I rattled off a list of like almost 50 statements by Marxist Democrats just attacking ICE. And they ignore all the stories that I read on the floor about ICE agents who've been, you know, strangled or who had been beaten with things or dragged in cars while they're going out trying to stop these dangerous individuals from being on the streets. And then I rattled off all the list of the dangerous criminals that have been rounded up. By the way, it's infamous now, the Minnesotans that they found these, these guys that committed strong arm sodomy of a child, multiple murders, violent criminals. But I went through the entire country, the dozens, the hundreds of people that they've been rounding up who are dangerous people on our streets and yet all the focus is on attacking ice. And there are all these middle aged leftists in Minnesota that are attacking ICE rather than standing up defending law enforcement. Now look, you and I are both civil libertarians. We obviously want to make sure that law enforcement is always checked and reviewed and we have after action reviews of course we want that to make sure that everything's followed, the rules are followed and they should continue to do that here. Were all the procedures followed, did the officer stand in the right place? All those things. But when you're a crazy wild eyed leftist who are attacking ICE agents while they're trying to take criminals off the streets, that's not free speech, right? You're putting yourself in the middle of the operation of the law enforcement who are entrusted to keep us safe and secure. So five review procedures and make sure they're the best they can be, avoid Conflicts. But when you've got leftists seeking conflict and they're doing it in a way that makes us less safe and secure, they don't care about Lake and Riley. They don't care about Kayla Hamilton. They don't care about Jocelyn Nungre. They don't care about Rachel Marin. They don't care about Officer Mendoza who was killed in Arizona by a drunk driver. I could keep going down the list, Glenn. These are Americans dead at the hands of illegals that were put on the streets by these radical Marxists. And they know it. That's the problem.
- [17:11]
Glenn Beck
They're also really quite delusional. I mean, these are people who think that they are standing up against the Nazis, like they would have done against the Nazis rounding up Jews, except these people would never stand up for Jews if they were being rounded up. I mean, it is. It's an. It's an incredible, incredible thing. And it's not just that they are believing this about ICE or missing what ICE is actually doing. They are being used. They're such useful idiots. They're being used by the people in power in Minnesota to make sure nobody's talking about the rampant corruption in Minnesota. And wait until we get to California.
- [17:53]
Chip Roy
Yeah, 100%. And I think this is the story. And some of us. You remember, I think I came on your show back in September after Charlie was tragically shot, talking about my belief that we need to have a special select committee, or certainly a supercharged Judiciary Committee and Oversight Committee to go follow the money, to go follow how those dollars are flowing. You and I talked about that. That organization. But the fact is that's all driving all of this agenda, meanwhile. And what I alluded to at the time was the extent to which it's obvious that taxpayer funds going through NGOs or directly to people and through these fraudulent programs is funding a lot of this garbage. And look, for those of us who are fiscal conservatives for the good of the country, that is making sure that we're not massively in debt, which causes inflation, which creates problems with the interest rates, which makes houses unaffordable, which makes it difficult to afford health care. All the things.
- [18:50]
Governor Greg Abbott
Right.
- [18:51]
Chip Roy
That's a fiscal question. And I've been pretty obvious out there. You have to. We've been calling for fiscal responsibility. But the other side of the coin is that you're funding fraud, you're funding tyranny.
- [19:04]
Glenn Beck
I know.
- [19:05]
Chip Roy
Funding all of this stuff. And people say, well, you know, and by the way, with all due respect to some of my conservatives friends and people out there saying look we just got rid of the fraud, everything would be fine. Well okay, maybe I, maybe you'll save money but you're funding, you're dumping literally trillions of dollars out into the world. What do you think is going to happen?
- [19:26]
Glenn Beck
Exactly right. Exactly right.
- [19:29]
Chip Roy
This is why I voted against the appropriations bill last week. We're funding the sanctuary cities that we're complaining about. This is why I will vote probably today against the bill that funds state and foreign operations because I know we're funding ridiculous programs abroad now because of the work that we've done conservative since the speakers fight three years ago. It's much better. It's much less because of the president, because of Russ vote because what we're trying to do with using rescissions, we're pushing it in the right direction but it was so bad. The Titanic had 14 holes in it was wrecking, was on fire and was five feet from the iceberg. That's how bad it was. And we're doing everything we can to put the fire out, plug the holes and turn the ship and only and by the way we're doing that when some of our own party are pulling the wheel in the other direction and lighting more fires.
- [20:19]
Glenn Beck
I've only got two and a half minutes left and I want first let me just say this. The Sharia Free America caucus that you are co founder of 22 members now in Congress. Every Republican should be a member of this. How can you not be a member of the Sharia Free Caucus? I mean it's just, I mean that's just that dumbfounds me that be sure it should be the first thing you're looking for in a candidate when you're are you, are you a member of the Sharia Free Caucus? Oh, you're not out. But anyway.
- [20:48]
Chip Roy
Well I was, I was proud to co found that with Keith Self, a local Dallas Fort Worth congressman is one of the best we have a great man and a great friend, a veteran great guy. Keith and I co founded it. We're going to keep working with groups. I think we're going to try to hold a big event on this topic. I've been visiting with leaders in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex on this topic. Governor Abbott is obviously leaning into this. I'm going to lean into this hard in Congress. In addition to what I've done in trying to take the tax status away from fair and vetting people for Sharia, founding this caucus, working to elevate and highlight these issues, I'm also going to be as Attorney General, I'm going to be focusing on this. And by the way, you have lots of power as the AG to go after the NGOs and to look at these nonprofits and expose all that they are doing. And that is a huge element to all of this, in addition to enforcing our laws.
- [21:34]
Glenn Beck
Chip Roy, running for Attorney General, the great state of Texas. One last thing. We're expecting possibly a word from the Supreme Court here in just a few minutes about the tariffs. What the hell happens if the Supreme Court says these tariffs are no good?
- [21:52]
Chip Roy
Well, look, here's what my belief is, and we'll see. I don't know whether they'll give their opinion on that today. We're waiting on a number of different opinions. Voting Rights act and others that are really important. By the way, I think they're gonna probably split the baby on this, right? I think they're going to find that the President has power in certain areas and not in others. So I think we're gonna have to peel it back to kind of understand exactly what they say and don't say. And then Congress is gonna have to debate this. If the court is saying the President can't. Can only do a certain amount and not others and decide what we want to do. Look, from my vantage point, what I'm for, I'm actually, I think some of these tariffs are great, but. But only in the context of, or importantly in the context of peeling back other taxes. Right. So keep downward pressure on the confiscatory income taxes and confiscatory taxes here in the country and balance that with what is effectively a national sales tax on foreign goods. Right, but you got to balance all of that and then work with the.
- [22:51]
Glenn Beck
President to do it.
- [22:52]
Chip Roy
We'll see what the court does, but we, we gotta reduce the overall burden on Americans to get economic growth going.

God bless you for what you do. Thank you very much. Chip Roy from the great state of Texas, candidate for a Texas Attorney General and Congressman from Texas. You know, most of us are pretty good at, you know, backups in some areas of our life. We keep a flashlight in a drawer. We have extra batteries in a bin, maybe even a jumper cable in the trunk. Not because we expect disaster, but because, you know, we've learned how annoying it can be. You know, if something simple, you just didn't take care of it in advance. Heat is Strangely different. We treat it like it's permanent, like it can't fail, like it doesn't deserve a Plan B. The Vesta heater from my Patriot Supply is basically a backup for comfort. It is compact, indoor, safe heater and a stove that runs without electricity, which means it works whether the power is on or, you know, not on. And you don't turn your house into a fire hazard at all. It's not a science experiment. You can use it to warm a room or heat water, even cook a meal. The best part is, right now you can get the Vesta and a bunch more other preparedness gear as free gifts for when you just order the winter survival kit from my Patriot Supply.

What would today's founders. They're not today, they're yesterday. They're at the beginning. What would the founders say about the rise of Islam in the West? That's today's George AI podcast. After the show. Glenn beck.com.
- [25:12]
Glenn Beck
I want to put a photo up in case you happen to be watching@glenn beck.com It's a photo of somebody putting a flag on top of the statue of Khomeini over the weekend. And if you look at this photo, you will see that. I mean, that is, that's iconic. Really. Look at that. If the media were doing their job, that would be on the COVID of Time magazine. That would be on. That'd be everywhere. That's an iconic photo. And it is somebody standing on top of the statue of the Ayatollah Khomeini raising up the old original Iranian flag with the, with the lion in the center. Okay? That would be leading every newscast. It'd be looping on cable news, debated, dissected, argued over all of this stuff. Instead, all we get is nothing but silence on that. You most likely haven't seen that picture before. It was up on X and then it just went away. The reason why this photo is so important is because the man is standing on the regime itself. This is entirely different. Jason was telling me he put in without any information. He put in, you know, if you had a regime like this into Georgia, if you had a regime like this, what should you do? Should you, should a country get involved or not? Yada, yada. And George, you know, doesn't know anything past, I think, 1820 so it talked about the French Revolution. And it's, you know, you got to be careful of people on the ground because you never know what their real intent is. You don't want to get involved in things, but I think you know what the real intent is. With people that are in Iran right now standing up, they're very, very, very clear. This is not graffiti. It's not vandalism. It's not a protest about gas prices or high prices. It is a civilizational divorce. And the rest of the world is pretending not to see it because it doesn't fit their narrative. You know, if this were Black Lives Matter, a riot over someplace else. I'm sorry, not a riot. Mostly peaceful protest. They were burning London. They were burning any city anywhere in the world. The press would be breathless. Look at the bravery of these people. Yet these people are actually risking their life in a country where they're going to be killed. If the regime. If the regime does not fall, all of these people are going to be scooped up and killed. If this was a pro Gaza mob, shutting down airports, screaming at Jewish students, or. Or climbing a statue of George Washington, they would be the voice of the oppressed. But here we're dealing with something far more dangerous. Here we have people rejecting an entire ideological project of the modern left. That's why they don't want to talk about this. That's why this movement terrifies them. Because what you're witnessing happening every day in Iran is not just a mere uprising. This is not just a revolt against a dictator. This is a rejection of political Islam itself, a rejection of clerical rule itself, a rejection of an Islamic government, a rejection of the idea that faith should be enforced at the gunpoint of the state. And most importantly, it is a rejection of the strange. Makes no sense. Red Green alliance, okay? The red Green alliance is this holy marriage between, you know, radical leftists, the Red, and the Islamist movement, the Green. They don't match at all. For instance, Rick Grinnell was on X yesterday and he tweeted something. He goes in and he rescues and helps people escape. If you're, you know, gay or lesbian or whatever, and you're in Iran, you gotta get out of there. And so he has for a long time helped people get out of Iran and escape because they're going to be thrown off a building and they're going to be butchered in the public square because of their sexual preference. It's an abomination. You don't hear anybody on the left talking about that. You don't hear anybody Talk about Rick Riddell. What a great guy he is, saving the lives of people. But anyway, I digress. The point is, on X, he said, for the first time ever, I've gotten a lot of people out of Iran. For the first time ever, he was told by somebody of the LGBTQ alliance, Wait, wait, wait. I want to wait here a bit longer. Wait. I can get you out now. I want to wait a bit longer. First time that's ever happened. He said, there's real hope happening from within side the country, not outside. It's happening within. And he said, I don't think you can stop the collapse of this regime at this point. From his mouth to God's ears, because that starts to dismantle a lot. Remember this? This starts to dismantle the chalkboard I put up at Fox in 2000. Islamists, communists, socialists, will all work together, okay, to destabilize the. The Middle East, Europe, and then eventually the United States. They're doing all of that. But this is the first time I'm seeing it maybe beginning to fall. The. The Iranian people. Last time, they were chanting for Marx because it was the Marxist that helped them get the cleric, Ayatollah Khomeini, back into power. By the way, just. Just a quick side note, I'm sure it doesn't mean anything to Marxists now, but you know what happened? All those Marxists. The clerics killed all of those Marxists, okay? You're a useful idiot, you dope. Like they're gonna tolerate you, all right? They're not tolerate. They're not chanting for Marx. They're not chanting for the Muslim Brotherhood. They're chanting for Iran, a free Iran. There was a post by a. A woman in Iran that was on X, and she said, don't misunderstand what you're seeing. This is not reform. This is rejection. We're not asking for a better Islam. We're rejecting Islamic rule altogether. That's key. And that's why you don't see the left helping on this at all. How can you stand with your hands in your pockets, LGBTQ community? How can you stand with your hands in your pockets when, you know gays and lesbians are killed, they are slaughtered in the streets because they have a different sexual preference. You stand with your hands in your pockets, you're actually shouting down the President of the United States. They're going to name a street after Donald Trump. I guarantee it. They'll name a street after Donald Trump because all of the leftists that we've had in power Since Jimmy Carter, they keep their hands in their pockets and their mouth shut and they don't do anything. And people have lived, women have lived under this oppression, and enough is enough. They're saying this system belongs to us, not you. They're saying Islam as a governing ideology is incompatible with their history, their culture, their future, because they want to be part of the Western world. They're the only group of people that are actually doing it. It's amazing. But I'll tell you, it's blasphemy to the, the Western left, because if the Iranian people, actual brown people, actual Muslims, actual victims of imperial theocracy, are rejecting Islamic rule, then the entire narrative on the left collapses. If Islam isn't liberation, then what exactly have the pro Hamas protesters been cheering for? Do you know when that collapses? Do you know how many stories. Oh, I'm personally going to go over and get. Do you know the stories that we're going to hear from people about what that's like? This is going to destroy this movement. And here's what, here's what is interesting. I told you this on Monday. One of the other things that was happening over the weekend was Democrats, people who until recently bent over backwards to excuse or Santa sanitize pro Hamas demonstrations say, now that's not what they mean when they say river to the sea. What exactly do they mean? Then they condemned Hamas publicly, strongly on X. Jerry Nadler did it. Uh, AOC did it. Suddenly, the. The protesters that are condemning and heckling Jews, suddenly they're drawing lines. No, that's not that. No. What, what is that all about? The alliance is cracking. This should give you real hope. As we are fighting Sharia law here, as we are, make no mistake. What do you think is really going on in Minnesota in that Somali community? You think there's no Sharia courts in that Muslim community in Minneapolis? Oh, you bet there is. You bet there is. There's no go zones. Everything that's coming out of Iran exposes the lie. And I will bet you that we will find that there is lots of leftist money going in to help stabilize the regime. Betcha. I will bet you the rainy. The Iranian people are ripping a mask off of this lie and they're saying, we know exactly what an Islamic government looks like. We've lived under it for 45 years. We want no part of it. You imagine what a free Persian people is going to do, what they're going to do for Europe when they start telling their stories. Guys, I don't care what you say. You have no idea. We just lived under it for 45 years. There's a poison in your civilization, and you've got to chase it out. It's pretty amazing. And how can you claim all these people who are claiming that they are standing for it? Listen, they're standing for. They're standing up for the people. Are they? Because in with ice, they're standing up. They're telling people that I shouldn't go in and get people who forcibly raped children who murdered people. How are you standing up for our society? You don't want that picked up off the streets. What, you're. You're standing up for Hamas, which did the same thing. You're standing up for Hezbollah, which does the same thing. You're. You're not standing up for the Persian people who are just saying, as women, I don't want to wear the burka anymore. I want to be free. I want to choose my own way. You're. You're not standing up for gays who are being slaughtered in Iran. I. Boy, I don't know how you even. Well, you don't. I was going to say, I don't even know how you make that case, but you don't. You don't. That's why they stopped making it over the weekend with aoc. They started backing up from it because it's going to topple. The regime is going to topple, and so is the red. The red green alliance. It's going to topple. It's going to. It has to. Because it's all a lie. All of it. This. This movement tells us identity politics is a lie. Culture actually matters. History actually matters. Faith cannot be coerced. And it also says the West's not wrong about a lot of things, and that's dangerous. And that's why the media is looking away. But we shouldn't. That man on that statue, he's doing what many of us don't have the courage to do. Thank God, many of us don't have to do it yet. But think of the courage it took for him to go up there and do that. He's standing on tyranny. He's reclaiming their Persian identity. He is choosing nation over ideology. He's waving a flag that says, we existed before you, and we're going to exist long after. You are in the dustbin of history, and that should haunt every tyrant. History is moving, and we are lucky enough to be alive to observe it and hopefully help shape it. Memories don't disappear all at once. They fade slowly, quietly. One tape that won't play. One box you haven't opened in years. One. We'll get to it someday. That keeps getting pushed down the list. And the problem is, someday has a habit of never showing up. One of my favorite lines from a movie. I'm trying to remember what movie it is. Oh, you pile up some music, man. You pile up enough tomorrows and you'll end up with nothing but yes, empty yesterdays. I love that. We'll do it tomorrow anyway. Legacy Box will take your old photos and VHS tapes and camcorders and film reels and everything else. And they'll. They'll transfer it digitally so you don't have the stuff that plays that stuff even anymore. And they. They just are deteriorating. This isn't about reliving the past for the sake of it. It's about making sure the people and the moments that matter just don't silently disappear because life got busy. Legacy Box turns. We really should do something with these two.

One of the biggest frustrations people have with food isn't hunger. It's the predictability of it. All right? Like you see, eat something that you think is going to be good, and for an hour later, you're foggy or you're sluggish or you're reaching for something else just to get you through the afternoon. That cycle wears you down a lot faster than people realize. Health Code was built to break that pattern by focusing on how your body actually responds to what you eat, not how impressive the label looks. It's designed to provide steady fuel so that you're not riding waves of energy and crashes all day long. This is developed by Dr. Ben Bickman. He's a metabolic scientist. He created Health Code a while ago after researching why so many people feel tired and unfocused despite making good choices. What kept showing up in the data over and over again was metabolic health, blood sugar stability, insulin response, and whether meals were helping the body stay balanced or if they were putting them in a constant state of recovery. Health Code is a nutritionally complete meal shake. Built around those findings, it prioritizes protein, healthy fats low carbs, no sugar. And this is really important stuff. It helps support your metabolic health, your gut health, health, your brain health, all at the same time without relying on artificial fillers or empty calories. For a lot of people, it becomes the most reliable meal of the day. And that consistency makes a big difference.

You know, speaking of the left's green red alliance burning itself down to the ground, which couldn't happen to nicer people, the Supreme Court yesterday heard arguments about, you know, whether girls can play in boys sports, et cetera, et cetera. And I couldn't be happier. Sam Alito, ask the ACLU lawyer, you know, about, you know, women in and men and their sports and listen to this.
- [42:03]
Supreme Court Lawyer
Yes, your honor.
- [42:04]
Glenn Beck
If it does that, then is it not necessary for there to be, for equal protection purposes, if that is challenged under the equal protection clause, an understanding of what it means to be a boy or a girl or a man or a woman?
- [42:19]
Supreme Court Lawyer
Yes, your honor.
- [42:20]
Glenn Beck
And what is that definition for equal protection purposes? What does, what does it mean to be a boy or a girl or a man or a woman?
- [42:28]
Supreme Court Lawyer
Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I think that the underlying enactment, whatever it was, the policy, the law, the would have to we'd have to have an understanding of how the state or the government was understanding that term to figure out whether or not someone was excluded. We do not have a definition for the court and we don't take issue with the we're not disputing the definition here. What we're saying is that the way it applies in practice is to exclude birth sex males categorically from women's teams and that there's a subset of those birth sex males where it doesn't make sense to do so according to the state's own interest.
- [42:58]
Glenn Beck
Well, how can you, how can a court determine whether there's discrimination on the basis of sex without knowing what sex means for equal protection purposes?
- [43:10]
Supreme Court Lawyer
I think here we just notice. We, we basically know that the that they've identified pursuant to their own statute. Lindsay qualifies as a birth sex male and she's being excluded categorically from the women's teams as the statute. So we're taking the statute's definitions as we find them. And we don't dispute them.
- [43:27]
Glenn Beck
We don't dispute them. We just say that anybody can change them at any time. I mean, Samuel Alito, I Love you. I love you. There might be a very important case coming out.

But also I want to spend just a few minutes on this outrageous letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton that came out yesterday. It's enough to make your blood boil. I mean, the fact that these people just don't see. They just don't see the hypocrisy in. Maybe they do. They just don't care. I'll give you that coming up in just a second because you know, we have to decide do can Hillary and Bill Clinton decide to not go testify under subpoena from Congress? Or do we do what we normally do and dismiss it? Or do we do what Joe Biden did? And if you were a Republican, Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, you rejected going to answer a subpoena from Congress. You went to prison. Is that's. What should we do that. Which, which precedent do we want to, to follow here?

Hmm.

Glenn Beck
They're gonna make it all about Donald Trump. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Donald Trump didn't put anybody in jail for not answering a subpoena. Your side did. I've got a lot to say about this. Coming up here in just a second. First, real estate agents I Trust dot com. When a market is hot, it's, you know, almost any real estate agent can look competent, at least at first. Homes move fast, mistakes get buried and luck does a lot of the heavy lifting. You know, down markets are different. They punish bad advice. They reward agents who really know how to adjust. That's why real estate agents like trust.com matters right now. Even in the middle of a down housing market, the agents in my network have had their best year ever and not for the first time. That's two years in a row. Why? That doesn't happen when a market is in this situation. Unless you really have agents who know how to close deals and get people out of their one house and into the other house. Go to realestate Agents I Trust dot com. We'll show you how to sell or buy a house with the right agent. Even in a really tough market. The name says it all. Real estate agents I trust. This is my company. Free service to you. Real estate Agents I Trust dot com. Dear Chairman Comer writes Bill and Hillary Clinton. We want to take a moment, given everything, to address you directly. This past year has seen our government engage in unprecedented acts, including against our own citizens. Well, they're not citizens. They're not citizens. If you, if you're, if you're referring to rounding illegals up, they are not citizens. People have been seized by masked federal agents from their homes. Why are they masked? Because your side is trying to say they're putting out posters with their names and address where they and their family live. So yeah, they are wearing mask now. Gee, I wonder why that is. They have, they have been taken from their homes, their workplaces, the streets of their communities. Again, if they're here illegally, it's not their community. Students and scientists with visas permitting them to study and work here have been deported without due process. Are you talking about the ones that were starting all of the riots and all of the anti Jewish stuff on campuses? You mean those guys? The people who laid siege to the capitol have been pardoned and called heroes? No, I'm called anybody a hero on that, but yeah. Have you been following what, what has been happening there? Agencies vital to the country's national security have been dismantled. You mean usaid? Because USAID was a money laundry. Have you seen what's happening in Minnesota, President Clinton? Universities, media companies and law firms have been subjected to threats to their funding, access and licensing. Unless they Made concessions and surrendered their right to constitutionally protected free speech. Oh, you mean like if I didn't go with global warming, you were going to shut me down? If I didn't go along with me too, you would shut me down? Oh, you mean like when the World Economic Forum said, you have to follow these things and you have to be in bed with the government? Exactly what the government believes, or we'll shut you down? Oh, okay. You mean like that? Okay, I think I understand his. His. His points here. He's not doing a really good job making his point, but. But he's making mine really well. American troops have been deployed on the streets of our towns and cities. Justice Department has been used as a weapon at the discretion of the President. Now, is he. Oh, he's getting old, isn't he? Does he know he's talking about last. The last President or. I don't know. I don't want to call him senile. Maybe this is just. Maybe. Maybe let's just. Let's just walk past that one. Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country and its principles and its people, no matter the consequences. And for us. For us, now is the time. Really? Now? Now? After all of the things you've seen, now when you're asked to testify in front of Congress under subpoena about Epstein, that's the straw that broke the camel's back. Really? Out of all of those things that have nothing to do with you, but you care about the American system and the American people. You care so much. But the thing that really got me off the couch was when you started coming after me. Oh, my gosh, such a philanthropist. You guys should start a foundation for us. Now is that time. We are lucky by virtue of the positions we held and by protections afforded by them. But we are not blind. Every day we see a country that is. We have dedicated our lives to improving. Taking step after step backwards. Well, yeah, if. If you mean if it means backing up from what you guys have been trying to do since you were at Yale with Saul Alinsky. Yeah. Yeah, we're going backwards from that. You're right. As chairman of this powerful Congressional committee, you have an immense power to target anyone and subject them to closed door interrogation and more. The decisions you have made and the priorities you have set as chairman regarding the. The Epstein case. Hang on, let me go to page two. Your work to learn why and prevent this from happening ever again. There is no evidence that you are doing so. Instead, you've forced the victims to relieve their painful experiences. So now Bill Clinton is for the victims and saying any testimony from me might make it like they'll have to revisit their pain again. I don't think that works in your favor, if that's what you're saying. You accepted at least from those who know the most, but demand the most from those who know the least. To say that you're. That you can't complete your work without speaking to us is simply bizarre. Okay, is there anybody that was closer to Epstein than Bill and Hillary Clinton? I mean, maybe not Hillary, but Bill. I mean, he was there all the time in the stairway of the Epstein mansion. Was that that weird ass picture of Bill Clinton in the dress with his legs draped over, wearing heels? You know that. Okay, yeah. That famous blue dress. That's what was in the Epstein stairwell when you walked into the house, or so I'm told. I've seen pictures. Bill would know because he had been there over and over again. You don't have anything? Nothing you can say? No. This is just a travesty of, of, of justice. That's what this is. Okay, well, I honestly don't think anything is going to come of this. I honestly don't think they're going to find anything. This guy is so slippery. He and his wife have been so slippery forever. They're not going to do anything. But I find it interesting that he is now saying this is injustice. When Steve Bannon went to prison for exactly what he's saying Comer might do to him. Peter Navarro, they went, he. Both of those guys went to prison because they wouldn't answer a subpoena from Congress. And somehow or another, well, they're above it all. They don't have to, you know. You know, who are you to say what we have to do? Don't you know we're raising money for Somalia? Don't you know, don't you know that we're. We're still off the. We're still off the coast in Haiti right now, rebuilding those palaces, rebuilding for those, those poor people that just can't afford it? Yeah, sure you are. Sure you are. Ask the people of Haiti where their money is from the Clintons. Okay, we're on to you. We get it. But they wear the T shirt, you know, too big to jail, just exactly like the banks. Too big to fail. They're too big to jail. So they're not going to jail. Um, but I, I have to tell you, I am. I really. I had a hard time, you Know, it's really hard. You, you know, you don't get to suddenly say, sound like James Madison after you spent four straight years trying to put Donald Trump in, in, in prison by any means necessary. You know, you just don't get to do that, you know, but that's exactly what happened from 2016 on the left. And yes, Democrats at the highest level, including Hillary Clinton, pursued everything. I mean, it was Hillary Clinton that started the whole Russiagate thing. Russia, Russia, Russia. He's a spy with Russia. All of that stuff has been proven to be just absolute lies. Absolute lie. Never been held accountable for it, but they did everything. Russian collusion, manufactured intelligence, leaked FISA warrants, media operation masquerading as journalism, all of that stuff. Now we know that all of this stuff based on lies. So when I hear warnings about the Justice Department being used as a cudgel, I kind of like, really in. When I hear lectures about intimidation and subpoena and punishments of enemies, you know, I don't dismiss them. But I also don't forget who the people were that normalized it, you know, so you wanna talk about Epstein? Let's talk. I mean, you know, because this is where the truth matters more than loyalty. Epstein was a monster. And anyone, anyone who enabled him, protected him, ignored him, benefited from him, deserves to be questioned. Doesn't mean they all go to jail. Didn't mean they all did something. But you should be questioned, all of them. Not selectively, not politically, not theatrically. I don't mind if President Trump is asked about him. I think everybody should be asked about him. If you were with him, you. I mean, hello, what did you know? When did you know it? Facts first, consequences second. But here's where the, The Clintons are right about one thing. If Congress is serious, then anyone who had meaningful contact should be scrutinized. Not just the convenient names or the, or the Clintons, you know, but Clinton span is. He was doing God's work up there. I was just. I was just giving massages myself. Huh. Huh? Yeah. So Bill Clinton spent time with Epstein. So did many, many other people. Multiples. If I could say that. I kind of feel dirty saying that in this context, but, you know, the standards can't be. If we're looking for justice, it can't be our enemies only. But we can't say we're not going to look at our enemies either. Because once justice becomes a factional weapon, which it is, it is right now, it's no longer justice, but is. I don't think it's Being used that way on our side. Maybe a little bit. Maybe a little bit. But not like they were using it under Bill Clinton. I mean, my gosh, look at what the. Look at what the IRS was doing to people. You know, it's really weird. The Democrats, they hired 87,000 IRS agents to go after you because you're not paying your fair share. 87,000 IRS agents they hired. But they. They. Gosh, those guys just could not find any fraud in some. With the Somali community in Minneapolis. Isn't that weird? They'll go after you. See, this is where it's weaponized. This is where everybody knows it's weaponized. If you are in a high position, doesn't matter left or right, you're not going to go to jail. You're just not going to go to jail. And that's what people are sick of. Okay? I mean, you know, maybe. Maybe. Maybe it's just me. I don't think so. I don't think so. But, you know, I just think that, you know, we have to go for justice. And if you're asking me where the strongest unanswered questions are, you know, questions that, you know, around the Clintons, lies. I. Epstein, you didn't prove anything. The Clinton Foundation. Cha Ching. That one is a story. That's a story that's been about money and access and influence for a very long time, and it keeps running into the same wall over and over again. Oh, wow. It's a big bank. Can't go there. Oh, it's global finance. Can't go there. It's an ngo. I can't go there. We keep banging our heads against the wall on that one. Gee, I wonder what. I wonder who's involved in that one. That's not a conspiracy. That's how power hides in America and notice something important. The story that never seems to move forward, regardless of who's in charge.
- [59:32]

Okay?
- [59:32]
Glenn Beck
Never. Never. Why? Because it doesn't just threaten politicians, it threatens the entire system. Both Epstein and the Clinton Foundation. Okay, so here's my position on this whole letter from Bill and Hillary, which I've enjoyed immensely. Thank you. Um, and let me be crystal clear. I don't want selective prosecution. I don't. I don't want political vengeance. I don't society, our society won't last, Okay? I want America to last. I don't want show trials. I don't want immunity for friends or punishment for enemies. I don't want any of that. I want equal justice under the law. You know, the kind written in the Constitution and almost never practiced by anybody in power lately. You know, if the facts clear somebody, they should be cleared loudly and publicly. If the facts implicate somebody, then they should be held accountable. They should go and have a fair trial, you know, with real judges and real juries, regardless of how much money they've, they've. Sorry, I have a hard time saying it straight. No matter how much money they've raised for Haiti to help those poor Haitians because we just can't raise enough money, and yet nothing seems to change. Bill and Hillary, isn't that weird? The moment we abandon the principles of equal justice, we're no longer a republic that is worth arguing for. You know, we're factions fighting over who controls the machinery of punishment. And that's, that's bad because history tells us exactly where that leads. Not left, right, not right, not left, not right, down, straight down, straight down. And the American people deserve better than that. But we're only going to get it once we demand it. Back in just a second. Let me tell you about American financing.

Okay, no tariffs decision today. We're going to get into that here in just a second. A lot of financial stress doesn't come from one bad decision. It comes from a bunch of old decisions that no longer fit your life. You know, interest rates that made sense years ago, monthly payments that felt manageable at the time. And then, and the debt just kept piling up and stacking up in the background. And because none of that happened all at once, most people just live with it and they adjust and they juggle and then they're sitting there like, I don't know how to make this work. That's where American financing comes in. That's why they exist, to interrupt that cycle. They'll help you step back, look at the full picture and see where your mortgage and your debt structure are actually serving you and where it's working against you. For some people, that just means home equity to pay off some high interest debt. For others, it means lowering your monthly payments or restructuring things in a way that you'll, you know, will finally create, you know, some breathing room.

- [63:32]
Jason Bottrill
Supreme Court. So they released their third and final decision today. The first two were boring. I didn't think your audience needed to hear about it. But the third one is interesting. It's about election integrity. There was a Republican candidate who sued Illinois because they allowed ballots to come in after election day. And he thought it was not fair. And so he sued. Shocking.
- [63:57]
Glenn Beck
Why would that not be fair? Oh, look what we found. You know, I left these in my coat a week ago. I am so very sorry.
- [64:05]
Jason Bottrill
Yeah, so he thinks that his votes weren't properly counted. He probably is right. So he sued. And the lower courts were like, eh, we're not gonna listen to your case. And they just kept throwing it out. So this went all the way up to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court said, no, this procedurally should be heard by the lower courts. And they're demanding the lower. It will take years probably for it to get decided. And it's the state of Illinois. They're never going to have election integrity, so.
- [64:32]
Glenn Beck
Well, you're a ray of sunshine. Good. Thank you. It was making me feel so much better. And the other two were just nothing.
- [64:38]

They're. They're boring.
- [64:40]

- [64:44]

- [64:46]

The tariffs decision is the one that's really going to change things.
- [64:49]
Jason Bottrill
Yes.
- [64:50]
Glenn Beck
The tariff. What could. You know, I talked to Donald Trump, I don't know, know, a couple months ago when it was first being heard. It was the week that they were being heard. And I call him up and I'm like, so, Mr. President, what's the plan in case this doesn't work. And at the time, he wasn't nervous. And he said, you know, there's. There's other ways to skin a cat. You know, don't worry about it. Now, this week, some people have been reporting that he's like, this is gonna really hurt. And I think it is gonna hurt, if I can't imagine, although it makes me nervous. They've been talking about releasing this all week. If they don't release this until Friday, that, I think is a bad sign.
- [65:37]
Jason Bottrill
Why?
- [65:38]
Glenn Beck
Because the markets will only have one day to react instead of three.
- [65:42]
Jason Bottrill
Do you think Clarence Thomas is taking the markets into consideration?
- [65:47]
Glenn Beck
Not in their verdict, not in their decision, but in the release date? They should. You don't want to do that in the middle of the week where this could throw, because, I mean, we don't know what that means. Throw it out on a Friday, get the markets closed, then figure out what you're going to do. I mean, this. If, if the Supreme Court overturns the President's right to create these tariffs, what does that mean? Do we have to pay that tariff money back? What happens to all of the deals that he has made on trade and everything else? I mean, this could be devastating, Just devastating. But we'll. We'll see. Hopefully we'll see tomorrow and not on Friday, what the Supreme Court decided. You know, most people don't avoid home security because they don't care. They avoid it because it feels like a project there, you know, the wires and the installers and the crazy contracts and all that stuff. It's a lot of commitment, you know, for something you hope you never need. And so that's maybe why you don't have home security. I don't know what your reason is. Maybe because it's too expensive. Well, simply safe. It's designed for people who want real security without turning their house into a construction zone. They want to be able to own it themselves.

Glenn Beck
You know, the guy who really started this all. I mean, we have been hearing about the fraud in Minnesota for a long time. And local people have exposed it, others have exposed it, but Nick Shirley actually got out and made it personal. Made it something that you could experience and see by going to these, you know, leering centers where there, where there were no children leering in them. And, and in this, the fraud was exposed. Well, that made big, big news when that first came out. There is part two coming out probably maybe about 90 minutes. Nick's working on the final edits of it now. He's here to tell us about what's coming. Hi, Nick.
- [68:56]
Nick Shirley
How's it going everybody?
- [68:58]
Glenn Beck
Very good, very good. I need to get some of your leering center merch.
- [69:01]
Nick Shirley
Oh, yeah, if you do.
- [69:05]
Glenn Beck
So tell me what, what you are exposing or what this next part two is really all about.
- [69:11]
Nick Shirley
Yeah, so essentially in Minnesota, across the country, they have these things called nemts. But in Minnesota, they've abused it to the point where now it's kind of what upholds all the fraud with the, with the welfare programs as they use these transportation companies to create some sort of paper trail to make it look like they're providing all these services to these people. That, that way they're able to continue frauding out the welfare programs, whether it be the daycares and adult daycares, the healthcare clinics, they're able to then use these transportation companies to make it look like they're actually fulfilling these services, but they're actually not.
- [69:50]
Glenn Beck
So there are, there are transportation services that are involved that are filling out fake transportation stuff.
- [69:58]
Nick Shirley
Well, what they do is, for instance, like at an adult daycare, they, they also are embedded with the healthcare, the healthcare company that's just a few blocks down the road. But because there's actually not, actually not a person or there's not a real service that needs to be provided, they need to make it look like something's happening. So therefore they get these transportation companies to then act like they're taking the, taking a person to the location and then they fill out a form saying that they provide this service and such. And then that way there's kind of the paper trail that they're actually fulfilling and doing these services.
- [70:36]
Glenn Beck
You've been working with a guy who's with you on camera. I don't even know who he is, but I gather he is a local that is just like hyper focused on fraud in Minnesota. Do I have that right?
- [70:50]
Nick Shirley
That's right.
- [70:51]
Glenn Beck
That is, you know, I think that's the smartest thing, Nick, I have found that. You know, I said this a while back. Who is the best person to, to teach, you know, the Battle of Gettysburg? I don't know, but there's got. He might be a cab driver in Detroit that has studied his whole life and could tell you where every bullet was retrieved on the field of Gettysburg. He's dedicated his whole life and he's, he's a zealot on it. That's, that's who you really get when you want to move mountains. You get those people and it's really smart of you. How long has he been working on this?
- [71:26]
Nick Shirley
Tracking it for up to seven years now where he's been looking, looking into it and then he's been getting all the research and information for a few years, I believe, because it's hard to get the exact numbers and everything. So he's done everything possible to get the numbers from the capital and that's why we are able to prove and that's why nobody's been able to debunk anything inside the video because it's all true. Because there's a bunch of research and due diligence done beforehand.
- [71:55]
Jason Bottrill
Nick, this is Ricky Glenn's favorite producer. I have a real title, but I like to go with that. One of the reasons why I love your work is because you show and not just tell the story. So in this video that's going to be releasing in the next 90 minutes, what are we going to see? Is it going to be more awkward confrontations? Are you probably going to get more death threats as a result of this?
- [72:18]
Nick Shirley
Yeah, you're going to see a bit of everything because we start going to these locations from the website of the state of Minnesota to where these transportation companies are and they're nowhere to be found. And then when we asked the Somalians, well, where are these companies at? People start making all these crazy threats. They're coming after me saying that, saying all this sort of crazy stuff. I don't even want to say it on over air because it's just, people just will have to Watch it. But they're basically making, like, saying that if somebody were to get shot and killed, it'd be my fault because of what I've done. And I'm just telling them I'm here to talk about fraud. Can you tell me where the transportation company is? And David makes a great point inside the video, and he says once, once you piss off the fraudsters, they can't defend themselves, so they deflect everything and they make it a race issue when it's not.
- [73:10]
Glenn Beck
That's what I've been talking about this week with, with the governor and the mayor and everybody else involved. These ICE protests. This, this is, this is the most cynical thing I have ever seen. I think any politician ever do. They're, they're, they're threatening civil disorder. And I mean, Waltz alluded to civil war, and it's all just to change the subject. So nobody's looking at them and saying, hey, when did you know all of this stuff was going on? It's really nasty.
- [73:47]
Nick Shirley
Yeah, it is very nasty. And I mean, for instance, Ilhan Omar, she hasn't said a word about the fraud, but she's out there telling people they need to go against ice. And so they're just using this opportunity to try and deflect everything against the fraud to make you not think about it, because they know they were caught red handed. Tim Waltz, he dropped out of reelection because of it.
- [74:11]
Glenn Beck
I did a, I did a monologue earlier this week where I was just making a list of all of the people that most likely had to have at least had an inkling, if not known, and then they. I'm not saying they were part of it, but they at least turned a blind eye. And the list is very long. I didn't even get to the Somali community. I just got to the people in state government and at the airport. I mean, there were hundreds of people that were. Had to have known in the banking, tsa, and also in. In state government.
- [74:48]
Nick Shirley
Yeah, I think people just got so used to it happening to the point where they just felt like maybe if they did speak out against it, nothing would happen. Or maybe it's not worth losing my job if I do speak out against the millions of dollars being funneled through the airport. I think a lot of people were scared because they'd be called an Islamophobe or white supremacist by their colleagues and lose their jobs.
- [75:13]
Jason Bottrill
Nick, this is Ricky again. The last time we had you on, you said that you and the FBI were playing phone tag with each other. Did you hand over these new findings for the transportation fraud to the FBI? Or is anyone at the FBI or DOJ reaching out to pursue an investigation into what you're finding?
- [75:35]
Nick Shirley
That's a good question. I know David. He did a briefing with Scott Bessett, the Secretary of treasury, and he talked about it. And so I imagine that if they didn't take it serious, then they'll take it serious. Today.
- [75:49]
Glenn Beck
You talk about Scott Bessett. I'm glad to hear that. I think one of the biggest culprits in this, because their fingerprints are always around, stuff like this. Well, the banks. There's no way you take 700,000. I'm sorry, $700 million in cash. Cash. That money. Cash them into. Into actual hard currency and then put it on airplanes and send it to Somalia. The banks had to have known. Are you looking into that at all?
- [76:17]
Nick Shirley
Yeah, I actually spoke to a former TSA police officer. I think that's what you call it, and he told me all about it. Yeah, it's very real. And all they have to do is get that money to a country like Dubai, and then they can then move that money over to wherever they want.
- [76:35]
Glenn Beck
I have a feeling when you're done in Minnesota, and you may never be done in Minnesota, but when you're done in Minnesota, you should stop by California. I can't imagine. Right.
- [76:48]
Nick Shirley
Yeah, it's bad there.
- [76:50]
Glenn Beck
Are you getting tips from other states?
- [76:53]
Nick Shirley
Yeah, lots of people have reached out to me, and California is definitely, like, on the top of the list from everybody that I've spoken to just because. Just how bad it is there. And, for instance, just like the price of gas is insane there. And then they're always complaining about taxes and all this and that, but a lot. Just the cost of living there is insane. Meanwhile, they're paying the most in taxes, and they don't feel like they're receiving anything from their taxes.
- [77:21]
Glenn Beck
Are you hearing massive fraud in California?
- [77:26]
Nick Shirley
Oh, yeah. I think just like, for instance, just like that train they try to build, or from LA to Las Vegas, or the homelessness, all the nonprofits. I mean, there's so much fraud that happened, though.
- [77:41]
Glenn Beck
I mean, I want to stand up for the train. You had to put two tracks parallel with each other on a pretty flat surface for a few miles. And that hasn't been done since, well, the 1800s. I mean, we've been doing it since the 1800s, but it's only a couple of hundred years old in technology. You wouldn't expect people in Silicon Valley or anybody in California Understand that kind of new technology of laying rails, it's insane.
- [78:07]
Nick Shirley
Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable.
- [78:09]
Glenn Beck
I know. Nick, thanks so much. Thanks for everything you're doing. I appreciate it. This is going to come out in about what, 90 minutes?
- [78:14]
Nick Shirley
Yeah, hopefully the next 90 minutes or so.
- [78:16]
Glenn Beck
And we'll find it at your YouTube channel.
- [78:19]
Nick Shirley
Yeah, YouTube. And on X.
- [78:21]
Glenn Beck
Okay, good. Thank you very much. YouTube.comick Shirley or on X. Nick. Shirley. I can't wait to see it. I can't imagine what is next. I mean, you know, you asked the question about death threats and you kind of said it in a joking way. I, he, he needs to watch out for himself. I mean, these people are serious. You are dealing with billions of dollars. Billions of dollars. People get killed for exposing things like this. I, I hope he is safe. All right. More in a minute.

One of the most frustrating parts of trying to lose weight is realizing how often the progress doesn't stick. You can do everything right for a few weeks and see the scale move and then watch it creep Right back up as if your habits haven't changed at all. And that cycle honestly leaves a lot of people feeling defeated. That's where metabolism quietly shapes the outcome. If your body isn't handling blood sugar well or isn't efficient at using stored fat for energy, weight loss becomes a consistent uphill push instead of something you can maintain. But we have lean. Lean was developed to support those underlying processes. It's a non prescription doctor developed supplement designed to help maintain healthy blood sugar, manage appetite and cravings, and of course, encourage your body to burn the stored fat. Not that I have any. I have no, actually all my fat is gone now. But when the system is working the right way, weight loss is less about forcing results and more about allowing your body to do what it's capable of doing. Lean isn't an injection. It's not meant to replace your eating or your exercise. But it is designed to work alongside those efforts, especially for people who feel like they've already made a lot of changes and they're not getting the results that they want. If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace and keep it off, add lean to your diet and exercise lifestyle. Get 20% off when you use the code blaze@takelean.com the code is blaze.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program is Jason. Jason's been doing the insider broadcast. We've added about 50% more information. When the network radio network goes into commercial, Jason takes over and he adds all of the things. We meet for a couple of hours before every show. And he knows what I know and I know what he knows. And so when I don't get to everything, he cleans up and shares it with the insider. And, and he also is in charge of Glenn AI and George AI. And what is today's George AI on Sharia Law, Jason, do we have him? No.
- [82:59]
Jason Bottrill
I could answer for you.
- [83:00]
Glenn Beck
Okay.
- [83:00]
Jason Bottrill
Until he pops on it is have.
- [83:02]
Glenn Beck
Him come over into the studio if it's not working there.
- [83:04]
Jason Bottrill
Yeah, it's about Sharia law. What would the founders say? Not today's founders. Yeah, the actual original founders in the.
- [83:12]
Glenn Beck
1700S, based on what we have in the data bank, they try to make, you know, we have tried to make it. So they don't give you a definitive answer because they're not the founder. You know, it's, it's, it's a machine. It is AI. But it'll present all of the sides. Did. Did it. What did it say about Sharia Law?
- [83:31]
Jason
It's funny because I had to make it a hypothetical again about what would happen, you know, if the country was moving towards Sharia courts, tribunals, stuff like that.
- [83:38]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [83:39]
Jason
What they would think about it. And it was kind of funny. He goes, well, you know, Jefferson actually had a copy of the Quran. I was like, ah, I've heard that from you before.
- [83:48]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Yeah.
- [83:48]
Jason
So very interesting.
- [83:49]
Glenn Beck
He.
- [83:50]
Jason Bottrill
You gave pronounce.
- [83:53]
Glenn Beck
It's weird, isn't it?
- [83:54]
Jason
Yeah, it's very weird too because George AI likes to be very philosophical.
- [83:59]
Glenn Beck
Philosophical.
- [84:00]
Jason
Philosophical and debate. Which again is exactly how the defense. They're trying to plant seeds of thought. And that's exactly how Georgia.
- [84:07]
Glenn Beck
This is not Georgia. Is not to try to get you to the answer directly from them because they. It's not them but it is trying to ask the questions and many of the questions are the questions that they ask themselves. Yeah. I mean they debated, they debated Islam. I mean they, they knew exactly what it was.
- [84:27]
Jason Bottrill
There were several insiders who were asking if we were imagining or writing the script for George A.I. these podcasts.
- [84:36]
Glenn Beck
No.
- [84:36]
Jason Bottrill
And they're looking for the sources and the sources are the original founding document.
- [84:41]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. So we don't. We try really hard, you know, like he said. I do just say I had to give it some information, a hypothetical because it doesn't have any information after 1820. And it is, I don't know, it's maybe based on 6,000 sources right now. In a year from now this thing is going to be colossus. It will have so much of their writings and the documents etc, etc, but we don't tell it what to say. We don't try to shape it at all. We ask the question and then we read it to see because when you're doing it all of the sources pop up and he could go back and go that source, that source, that source and we'll see. You know that that one's taken out of context but it can't imagine things, it can't make up things because it's memorized the entire library. Right.
- [85:33]
Jason
Something that's really cool from the audience too is they're asking when they're going to be able to ask questions because they have tons of good.
- [85:39]
Glenn Beck
You'll be able. Hopefully my goal is within the year, maybe next year you will be able to converse with it and ask it yourself all of these things. But there's a lot of testing before we open this up for the public and. And it then the compute is really expensive. So but hopefully next year because this tool Is as I envision this tool. Remember, I'm not trying to do this to build another network. I built Blaze. I did that. That part of my mission is over. I left the Blaze and I'm now doing this because this is about disrupting education disruption. And you're not seeing that yet, but you will. I mean I'm, I'm, I'm spending it in, into deep six figures every single month just on the new tech. I have an R D on all of this and I spend it every month and will continue probably for the rest of my life just to keep this ahead of, of the curve so we can provide you and your kids the, the tools that you will need to help really focus in and get the education you deserve. Not the education that has been filtered either by me or some leftist. You don't want either of those. You want the actual documents. Sources are coming. The FBI has been warning about a type of real estate fraud that is on the rise called title theft. And your equity is the target. Now here's how it works. Criminals forge your signature on a single document. They use, you know, fake notary stamps and they file it with the county. And just like that, on, on record, they own your home using your ownership. They then take out loans at a bank and get your equity and then you know, like you didn't even sell your property. And yet it is like you sold your property and you don't know until foreclosure or collection notices start showing up. Find out today if you're already a victim.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I can tell you where you shouldn't live, especially if you're somebody who earns money because they're gonna start with the billionaires and believe me, it will go down from there. I'm gonna share that list of these super, super classic states that are just going to destroy themselves in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile what if you could make a small decision today that actually adds up to something big over time? Not a grand gesture, you know, not a life overhaul. Just one choice that quietly does more good the longer you stick with it. The idea that that can happen is the idea behind Patriot Mobile. On the surface, it's just a great cell phone service, something you already pay for every month without thinking about it. But where the money goes matters, you know, and with the cost of, of wireless companies, it's funding causes and activism. You know, the stuff that you don't support. If you're with Verizon, you want to help support Planned Parenthood, go ahead. That's what Verizon does with some of their profits. Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative mobile phone company. Flips everything around. It's reliable nationwide service. Same exact service. You're going to save money on it. But it also, they work hard to stand up for your values. In fact, if you are worried about Sharia law right now, Patriot Mobile action, which is their, their action side of the, of the company, they take the, the profits that they are given from Patriot Mobile and they are now, right now leading a campaign to stop Sharia law in Texas. They are, are really, really working hard to stop that. And I think that's kind of important. I don't know about you. We should be doing that everywhere. Patriotmobile.com Beck972 Patriot972 Patriot use the promo code Beck for a free month of service. It's patriotmobile.com Beck make the switch today. All right, so I was talking to a friend of mine who lives in Seattle, and I keep, every time I talk to him, I'm like, why, why, why, why do you live in Seattle? Well, it's beautiful. No, it's really not. I grew up there. It is beautiful. The trees are nice, you know, but you always know, you know, there's a problem when you live around some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. Seattle is surrounded by some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. And there's a problem when every six months everybody in town is saying, you can see the mountain today. Did you know that you could see them out? Did you see the mountain today?
- [91:29]
Jason Bottrill
Wow.
- [91:29]
Glenn Beck
You can see the mountain today? Yes, because most days you can't see it because it's crap weather all the rest of the time anyway. He's always saying, oh, it's just so beautiful here. We can't move. We can't move it. I'm like, they're going to trap you. They're going to trap you and your wealth there. And you know, everybody's like, no, they'll just do it to the billionaires, huh? Well then after they're done with a billionaires, well, they just do it to the millionaires, huh? Do you know how income tax started? Do you know that income tax was never. This is Woodrow Wilson never, ever going to go above 7% of an income never. And only on the top 5%. Never. What happened? They needed money in World War I. It lasted like a year. And then they just started all this progressive, progressive, Woodrow Wilson progressive tax where everybody was paying taxes. But don't worry, worry, we'll go back to that 7% only on the top 5% earners. We'll do that. You know, after the war. It never went back. Never went back. But they're only going to do this on billionaires. Don't worry, it'll never get to you. It'll never get to you unless all the billionaires move out of the state and then it'll get to the millionaires and then the millionaires will live. Leave the state or you'll just destroy them. And then they'll come to you because they got to have money to run all this corruption and everything else that they're doing. So California is trying to pass this, or did pass. It actually is.
- [93:01]
Jason Bottrill
It has not yet passed. It's a ballot initiative. And Gavin, Gavin Newsom is saying, oh, I'm not interested in this. But if they do vote on it, it'll be in November.
- [93:12]
Glenn Beck
In November. Okay. And so it'll start in, it'll start 1-1-27.
- [93:17]
Jason
Correct.
- [93:17]
Jason Bottrill
They're, they're getting signatures now.
- [93:19]
Glenn Beck
Okay, good, good. Because I was gonna say if, you know, it's a little late if you're a billionaire, it's a little late to get out. I would get out now because if this, if this passes, you're, you're going to lose a one time and only this one time, a one time tax of 5% on your net worth. Now, I don't know, I mean, what are you worth? Well, I'm not worth anything. I don't have anything. Well, do you have a house? You have a car? Do you have anything? Anything? Because that's what your net worth is. Okay, so imagine you're, you're, let's say you're a billionaire. Okay? Do billionaires just have all of their money sitting in a bank? No, they're, they have it invested in different things. So you're going to charge them 5%, which means let's say, let's say you're Elon Musk, you got a lot of money, but where is that money? That money is mainly in stocks for his own company. So he'll have to, he'll have to sell 5% of his stocks, then take that money and give it to the government. Okay, what, what do you think happens if he's taking 5% of his money out of the company and having to give it to the government? Now he's, he's doing that because that's his net worth, but if his net worth ever goes down, they don't give him that 5% back. This is the biggest, most communist kind of starting point you can possibly imagine. You know, and it's. Honestly, it, it happens in every civilization that, that stops asking, how do, how do we, how do we make things? How do we grow things? You'll notice Elon Musk not talking about taxes. He's talking about cutting spending, but he's not talking about taxes because he's, he knows I make money by making things. If I make something and I make it better than everybody else, I'm gonna make lots of money. That's, that's what capitalism is. And real, true capitalism is the most, Is the best charity, because all I have to do is serve you. If I'm thinking all the time, how do I make your life easier? How do I come up with something that you need, you want? Do you think they didn't even have to advertise on the, on television, the fat shot. Everybody was wanted a fat shot or a fat pill since they were born. Someday they're going to come up with a fat pill. So you take it and your fat just goes away. Well, they came up with it. Notice they didn't have to advertise because everybody saw their friends losing weight. They're like, what are you doing? Oh, there's this great fat shot. What can I have that? They couldn't keep it in stock. That's capitalism. Making something that everybody wants that will make their life easier or better in some way, shape or form. That's capitalism. That's why Elon Musk, that's what he does, he's making stuff that make everybody go, holy cow, you did what? And it just gets better and better and better. But at some point, a civilization stops asking how to grow, and it starts asking, how do I take that from him? How do I get that? Because I don't want to work for it. And the moment's always disguised as compassion. Yeah, but we have to take Care of people who aren't like him because he's a billionaire, he's got a lot of money. And it always, it always arrives wrapped in moral language and it always ends exactly the same way. Justice. Some kind of justice. We just need a little more and these people can afford it. But history tells us something. Every time that happens, this is uncomfortable. When a society begins taxing what already exists instead of what is being created, it's no longer building an economy, it's dismantling one. You know, you take that fat drug, you can only take it for so long because what does it do? It starts eating good stuff. It starts eating muscle. And you can't lose the muscle. That's the good stuff. You want to get rid of the fat, not the muscle. Right? That's what, that's what this is. When you start taxing things on not creation, but what already exists and what people have, you're eating at, you're eating into the muscles. You're no longer thinking that I need to, I need even exercise or I need muscles. It's always going to be this way. Think of an orchard. A healthy society plants an ortho, plants, trees, plants an orchard. They protect the soil, they wait, wait for it to fruit. They take care of it. A failing society cuts down the trees because they're angry at the, the people who planted them in the first place. You're like, wait, what? The harvest feels good at first, you know, one season and then the orchard is gone. And that's what wealth tax is. Not income, not profit. Stored value, the roots, the seed corn. And once you do it, once it's gone, this is going to be a one time 5%. Really? What are you going to do next year? You're going to get addicted to that money. You need that money. We need it even more than we did last year. What are you going to do then? You've done. You're only going to do it once. Wow, that doesn't even sound like a good plan. History is merciless on this point. Every time governments have decided that wealth itself is immoral, capital's done the only rational thing that it, it can do. And that is. Okay, well, I'll leave. I mean, California, you think you've seen an exodus yet? You haven't seen anything. Wait until, wait until you start going after the billionaires that have been paying for a lot of your taxes. The ones who have been voting you in. Don't get me wrong, I want those billionaires to stay in California. I want them in California. I don't want em in Texas because they haven't learned a thing. They were fine voting you in. They were fine using their wealth to get you into office so they could get what they needed. Now they don't like it, but they haven't learned their lesson. They're just like, well, they're gonna take it away from me. I'll go and spread my socialist poison elsewhere until they don't get it, and then I'll move someplace else. Ah, yes. This is crap. But this is what happens. This is what happens. It leaves, and it's quiet at first, but then it's all at once. And not because the wealth is greedy, but because what did you do? Honestly? Who are you? The governments are greedy. And France learned this the hard way. France did this years ago. And they were like, yeah, we're going to. We're going to take some of the people who make too much money. And all those people, like, they just. They got on the next ship and they were gone. And also, the tax raised less than projected. Wait a minute. What? Yeah, yeah, because people left, growth slowed, unemployment rose. Eventually the government said, oh, even fresh. I mean, we've got to surrender to something, huh? They surrendered that thing. And Venezuela. Venezuela did not start with fairness. I mean, start with communism didn't start with all of this. They started with fairness. The Soviet Union didn't begin with bread lines. It started with resentment. Notice fairness and resentment, they seem to go hand in hand right before the fall of something really, really good. What are they? So what. What is the left sowing the seeds of fairness and resentment? And every social. Every socialist system that starts with, we know, just going to take a little from those who have too much. It always ends in disaster. Same way. Same. Same way you run out of people's money because rich people go away and the middle class collapses. And wealth taxes don't stay targeted. You know, they never do, ever. Once the principle is established that the state owns what you already have earned, the definition of wealthy can be slid down anywhere. First billionaires, millionaires, then homeowners, who is. I mean, look at what Mamdani is saying in New York. Oh, you know what? You're going to have a different relationship if you're white, you know, even some very rich black people. You're going to have a different relationship with private property. What. What are you talking about? Are we in Cuba? You know, got to take the people who have homes, because there are a lot of people who don't have homes. Oh, the retirees, they got a Lot of saving. They got a lot of saving. Anybody who plans ahead, they planned ahead. They got a lot. That's why wealth tax is. Is nothing but rage bait. It is politically intoxicating because they promise consequences without the cost. You're not gonna pay a cost for it. They're gonna pay. I'm at them. Look what they've done. Yeah, look out, because pretty soon you'll be them. And you know, politicians say you don't. There's no punishment here. We're not. Somebody else is gonna absorb all the pain. And the pain always arrives. And it shows up as fewer jobs and as businesses that don't start. An innovation that happens someplace else. A tax base that shrinks while obligations are growing and growing and growing as public service deteriorates, even as the taxes rise. California already has the highest state income tax in the nation, and they still need more. How much more do you need? California, it's already bleeding population, it hemorrhaging. It's hemorrhaging businesses. And a wealth, wealth tax that's going to fix that. Are you kidding me? That's gasoline on that fire. And here's the dangerous lie at the center of all of it. That wealth is static. Wealth is hoarded. It just sits there. It doesn't. Wealth is future activity frozen in time. Factories that are not yet built, salaries not yet paid, technologies not yet invented. Well, they got it all in stocks. What do you think? What do you think those stocks are doing? Why do we sell stocks in the first place? We sell stocks in the first place because the way it's supposed to work is people believe in that company. They believe they're going to make something great. They believe they're going to do something that really serves people. And so the capitalist dream will actually happen. And I want to help them expand. I want to help them build the next factory. I want to help them hire new people. That's what stocks are supposed to do. And when you tax all of it away, you're not punishing the past. You're sabotaging your future. This way. This way. Socialism. I said this a long time ago. First you have to sell it, then you have to shove, and then you have to shoot. It always collapses into coercion. Because once voluntary participation disappears, force becomes the only remaining tool. You shame, you tax, you regulate. You restrict movement. And then you criminalize resistance. I shame, shove, shoot. You know, sort of happened. California, you're at that fork in the road right now. One path admits hard truth. You cannot spend more than you produce. You cannot punish people for funding your system. You can't. You can't vote yourself prosperity. And the other path is familiar. It's popular, it's very loud. It's. It's also catastrophic. But it's probably the one you're going to choose. You know, history is not whispering here to you. It's shouting, don't do it. You can redistribute wealth for a while, you can blame the rich for a while, but you can't repeal mathematics and economic reality. And once the orchard is gone, no amount of rage is going to bring the trees back. Good luck with that. California. Back in a minute. Let me tell you about Lifelock. Most of us think about our identity the way we think about our health. If nothing feels wrong, we just assume that everything's fine. That's what makes identity theft frustrating. By the time you notice it, the damage is already done. Someone opens an account you never applied for, a loan shows up that's not yours. Credit takes a hit for something you didn't do, and now you're stuck proving a negative. You're cleaning up a mess you never made. LifeLock exists for that reality. They monitor for signs that your personal information is being used in ways it shouldn't be. And if something goes wrong, they don't just alert you, they. They alert you and then not walk away, they alert you, then bring a team in to fix it. That means restoration specialists who step in, stay with you until the identity is yours again. This isn't about living in fear. This is about knowing that somebody is watching the door so you don't have to protect yourself at that door and sleep at that door. You can do it with LifeLock.

Jason Bottrill
Glenn, I have a question out of that monologue.
- [106:36]
Glenn Beck
Yes?
- [106:37]
Jason Bottrill
So I'm not one of those eat the rich types, but how much should I be feeling sorry for these 200 billionaires that live in California right now because they've been doing business with progressives in California for decades.
- [106:51]
Glenn Beck
I don't feel sorry for them at all. I don't want them in my state. I want them to stay in California. I want to stay in California. Then they're not going to. They're going to move. But I want you to stay in California. I Want you to give up 5%. You are the ones who have been preaching and backing people up who are saying it's a patriotic duty. You're not even going to feel it. You know, they go after millionaires. You know, millionaires are people who are just starting to make it. And I mean, you know, you have a million dollars in assets and that includes your company and everything else. You're just starting, you're just starting to make it. You come in and you, you pound those millionaires. Those are the people, generally speaking. And I'm not talking about the Monopoly man millionaire that everybody always thinks of. When you think of a millionaire, I'm thinking about a guy who lives in your town and might own the lumberyard whose all his whole net worth is a million dollars. He's a millionaire. Is he? Or is he creating jobs? And they go in and they tax them while they never tax the billionaires. They never go after these guys. Never. Because they have all the attorneys and they're the ones throwing the big parties that everybody is going, you know what I'm going to donate to your election. You know, just remember me, you know, when it gets to tax time. And so they get all these special favors. I have no sympathy for these billionaires. None. Especially if you're not moving out now and you're not moving out going. I was wrong. I was wrong. I supported these people. I didn't see how pernicious this really was. I bought into the compassion thing, but I don't even think they bought into the compassion thing. I bet you most of them did it for their own money. They cared about their own money and their own business and they still only care about their own money and their own business. And you know, so I have none. I have no compassion for them. I just know you can't eat them.
- [108:38]
Jason Bottrill
Can you forecast what California looks like in five years if there's this mass exodus of billionaires?
- [108:47]
Glenn Beck
I think next year California looks like Minnesota with real troubles on the street and real troubles within. I think you're going to find massive fraud there. And then if you pass this, you're going to start hemorrhaging people with money and that whole thing is just going to collapse because look how much money I can guarantee you. They are going to make Minnesota look like rookies when it comes to fraud and mismanagement of funds. It's going to happen. I mean, look how much more money is there. They are just going to make it look like they're rookies in Minnesota. And when that, that thing Starts to fall apart. Look out. Get out of California. Don't move around me unless you really get it. Otherwise go find some other New York's. Nice. All right. Let me tell you about relief factory relief factor. A lot of people don't, don't think of themselves as in pain.

Jason Bottrill
To know how to survive financial collapse like those California elites? We have a new special out on Glenn Beck.com called Capital Controls. Watch it now. Only at Glenn Beck.com.
- [111:14]
Glenn Beck
I have. My whole team is in town today. We have people all over the country and everybody's come in because we have a big. I have a big announcement to make to the staff today that I'm really excited about. Something that I have wanted to do since I first thought I'm going to do talk radio.
- [111:34]
Jason Bottrill
We have a bingo card for what we think you're going to announce. Am I allowed to share any of that?
- [111:39]
Glenn Beck
No.
- [111:39]
Jason Bottrill
Okay.
- [111:40]
Glenn Beck
No. Nobody's getting robots. It's one of the guesses. I think he's getting us a robot. No, I'm not getting you anything. What are you selfish? Anyway, so they're all in town and Nick Daly, who has been. We've been together for 2000.
- [111:55]
Nick Daly
25 years.
- [111:56]
Glenn Beck
25 years.
- [111:56]
Nick Daly
26.
- [111:58]
Glenn Beck
And Nick does all of our production. Any of the beds you hear, any of. Any of the music that you Hear he and Sam Cardin, who is our. The guy who composes all of our music, they record it all and everything else. And he's just great. But I asked him to do something on the American story. And this is a. This is based on a book by David and Tim Barton and Nathan Nipper, who is a writer for me. He spent months adapting this and writing it, and then I did the narration for it. And then you took it and you had it for forever. I mean, it's. This is hard.
- [112:33]
Nick Daly
Yeah, it was like six months of work probably for 10 episodes.
- [112:37]
Glenn Beck
Ten episodes, yeah. Hope it's worth it. But anyway, I heard. I mean, you've always. I've always said you are the best in the business. I mean that. I mean, you know, Skywalker Sound doesn't have anything on you. And when I had this come back to me. You can. And Ricky said this to me today. When you're telling the story about George Washington, or I'm telling a story about George Washington and he's in the battle, you can hear the bullets whiz by. Especially if you're listening in your car. You're. It's like the bullets are whizzing by your head. How did you do that? Is that just stereo or is that.
- [113:16]
Nick Daly
Yeah, most of it's stereo, but for the. For the stuff passing by you is binaural audio. So it's kind of a spatial adaptation of stereo that kind of fakes surround sound and headphones.
- [113:25]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it's really amazing because you do feel it. I mean, you feel like you're in battle. It's amazing.
- [113:31]
Nick Daly
And we wanted it to be really immersive so you could feel what the. The angst that these people are going through in these battles. I mean, it's hair raising to have a bullet fly past you, let alone 100 of them.
- [113:39]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it's amazing. Were you amazed by the story? Yeah. Some of the stories are like, wait, what happened?
- [113:44]
Nick Daly
Just the fact that George Washington made it through that battlefield all the way with all these bullets flying past him and bullets going through his coat.
- [113:51]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah.
- [113:51]
Nick Daly
And still never got.
- [113:52]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [113:52]
Nick Daly
Take it.
- [113:53]
Glenn Beck
Incredible. It's called the American Story. How many tracks did. What is. What is like something normally you would do for us?
- [114:00]
Nick Daly
It really depends on the context. But maybe, you know, maybe 100 tracks normally, but there were. There was one or two episodes that probably approached 400. 400 tracks?
- [114:09]
Glenn Beck
400 tracks? Well, you're fabulous. It's really.
- [114:12]
Nick Daly
Thank you.
- [114:13]
Glenn Beck
Really good.
- [114:13]
Jason Bottrill
We do have one clip. Clip from the Battle of Trenton.
- [114:16]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Here's a Battle of Trenton from the American American Story can be found now. It's free@glenn beck.com. listen. It's after 8am When Washington's troops finally swarm into Trenton. There's no turning back now. The Hessian troops stumble from their barracks into heavy musket and cannon fire. In the frenzied charge, an 18 year old Virginian takes a musket ball through the shoulder that severs an artery. He collapses. He's bleeding. Out in the snow, a civilian doctor named John Riker, as in Riker's island, rushes into the fray. Riker's not in the army. He just shown up to offer his assistance when he heard the battle erupt. Spotting the fallen officer, he tears open the man's uniform and clamps the artery with his bare fingers. In works, Dr. Riker saves the young lieutenant's life. A young man named James Monroe, who is going to go on to serve as the nation's fifth president. It's incredible. And you're just hearing this in mono. We're making it in mono for radio audio. You listen to it online@glenn beck.com and it, it is so immersive. It is really great.
- [115:35]
Nick Daly
It's really hard to find sounds that don't have ventilation. Hum or, you know, when you talk about these historical things. Yeah, it's like, let me find a room tone or a, you know, a city ambience that doesn't have cars in the background or doesn't have planes.
- [115:48]
Glenn Beck
This is the kind of stuff he thinks about all day long. It's like, where do I find the ambient noise that doesn't have a car in the background?
- [115:56]
Jason Bottrill
You're the audio nerd we need.
- [115:57]
Glenn Beck
You are. You're fabulous. You're fabulous. Thank you very much.
- [116:00]
Jason Bottrill
Thank you.
- [116:00]
Glenn Beck
I appreciate it. There is also something else. Oh, before you leave, the George AI and the Glenn AI. George AI today is on Sharia Law and I don't know what Glenn AI is on. Do you know?
- [116:15]
Jason Bottrill
Jason didn't tell me. So he's fired, right?
- [116:17]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, of course he is. But can you talk about that? Because I remember doing something. We should find this from 2017. I tried to recreate my voice using AI and you could, you could hear kind of the beginnings of the tones that I would use, but it was so clearly just, it was garbled, it was awful. And they said that audio is actually harder than video for some reason. I don't know if that's true, but that's what we heard at the time and, and it has moved so fast. We were on the phone. Was it over Christmas? And we were trying to get my voice right, Right. Yeah. And I have to tell you, I listened to it last night, and it's a little spooky.
- [116:59]
Governor Greg Abbott
I mean, it.
- [116:59]
Glenn Beck
It. It's. I mean, it's exact, except it doesn't make any mistakes. It's exact.
- [117:03]
Nick Daly
And it's like you have to retrain it constantly because as the algorithm is evolving or as the voice model is evolving, sometimes they'll make a code change, and all of a sudden you sound like one of the generic voices for a few seconds at the beginning. So then I'll have to go retrain the. Retrain the model.
- [117:19]
Glenn Beck
Because in the middle of the. Of one of the George AIs this week, all of a sudden you heard George just. He, like, changed. It was like going through puberty for a second, and then it came back, and that was.
- [117:29]
Nick Daly
And that's just like a glitch in their model that is really hard to predict.
- [117:33]
Glenn Beck
And that's 11 labs.
- [117:34]
Nick Daly
Yeah, that's.
- [117:34]
Glenn Beck
Are they the only ones that make voices like this, or they just.
- [117:37]
Nick Daly
There's some other ones, but I think they're the best. Like, I've heard some other ones. And it's like you can really tell that they're AI or they sound stilted.
- [117:44]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [117:44]
Nick Daly
And they're. Eleven has the best emotional context.
- [117:47]
Glenn Beck
It's a. It's incredible. It is. It's incredible. It's not quite there entirely yet, but.
- [117:52]
Nick Daly
But it's enough to fool somebody into thinking that this is.
- [117:55]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And the one thing we want to make sure. That's why I call it Glenn AI, is we never want you to think that that is me. Although it is based on 30 years of everything I've ever recorded, ever, ever written, my entire catalog, which is. We went through this the other day. What was it, like 40 or 400 some. Some crazy thing like 400 bibles. I mean, it's just an enormous library, and it. So it takes everything that I know. It can't pull from anything outside, only the information and has to memorize everything I've ever said. And so when it says, talk to me about. You know, whatever, talk to me about AI, it will talk to you as. As it understands me. And my performance is clearly not me, but it is. It. It can only take my ideas and rework them in the fashion of. Of. Of AI. And we're. It's weird. We're seeing a split in the audience. Some people say I can never. I can Never listen to it. I don't ever want to listen to it. I don't want anything. AI, that's fine. And I understand that. I do. I've been the guy on the. On the radio since was not even the 20s, it was 1996 or 7 that started warning about AI and told you what was coming and said it was going to happen around 20, 30. And here it all is. We are, we're going to release our AI ethics here in the next few days. So you understand my ethics on AI So you know exactly how I feel about it. It is the most dangerous thing man has ever invented. It is also the greatest thing man has ever invented. It just depends. Do you understand? It's a tool. And I really. This really was brought home to me. I was with a friend who's a surgeon, and he was working on a robot, if you will, and it's called the da Vinci seven, I think. And it is this amazing surgical tool that can do things that you just can't do. But it is all run by the surgeon. It is still his hands off to the side of the room running this robot, but it can get into places. And the difference that it can make in people's lives and surgery is remarkable. But he's not the tool. That's the tool. He's the one making all of the decisions and everything else. And if you. If you decide to check out and don't do anything, AI I fear you're going to regret it. If you don't understand that AI is a tool and you are its master, you are going to live to regret that even more. But I remember when Apple IIC came out, the Apple iic. Remember that old computer? And I like to write things out on longhand. And I got an Apple too. And I'm like typing all this stuff in and I'm like, I hate this. I'm never going to. I just like it in paper. And I never learned to use a computer up until the 2000s because I didn't want it. I like paper. I have a hard time with computers. I'm not. Nothing is intuitive to me because all of that time was wasted, okay? And I can't do that. The same is going to be true with AI it is going to be a part of your life. You should master it now before it tries to master you, but you should master it now because it's. I don't care what you do, it's going to play a role in your life. Master it, use it as the tool so you're not. So you, in the end have a choice. I'm either going to use it or I'm not. I'm going to use it that way or I won't. But at least you'll have that door open to where you can use it in ethical ways. But if you avoid it now, you're going to, you're going to regret it. I really believe you're going to regret it because you'll be left in the dust and it's moving way fast. Way fast. All right, back in just a minute. Let me tell you about the Burner launcher. There comes a moment when your gut tells you something is off. The danger is in this place, it's not loud, it's not dramatic, just a quiet signal says, pay attention. Pay attention. And in that moment, what you have with you matters. The Burner compact launcher is designed for real life for those in between moments where you don't need lethal force, but you do need protective options. It's a non lethal personal defense tool that's small, lightweight and easy to carry, which means it, you know, it can actually go with you instead of staying home. Because it's non lethal, legal in all 50 states. It's also not requiring a permit anywhere. There's no bureaucratic run up or legal maze to deal with. It's simple, it's practical, ready whenever you are. Just have to be over 18. The compact launcher is about creating distance and buying time, giving you a way out of a bad situation without having to make a decision that you can't take back. This is not about living on the edge. It's about having a tool that matches real world decisions and real world consequences.

With Jason Bottrill. Who is Jason Bottrill is the guy who is our head writer. He is also our military analyst and he is now the host of the Insider which happens during this show when we go into commercial breaks. He takes over and kind of sweeps up with all of the information that I've missed. Is there anything that we talked about earlier that I haven't hit yet that I was supposed to hit?
- [124:09]
Jason
I really wanted you to hit Havana syndrome today because we looked at it for so long. That's an insane story.
- [124:15]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, we had.
- [124:16]
Jason
In fact, that was in our prep for the longest time, you put like a special tab in your prep for the show and it was just under Havana Syndrome. So we were tracking those stories.
- [124:24]
Glenn Beck
That's right. If you remember, Havana Syndrome, where it was done to buy the Cubans, we think, to American citizens and especially those who are working in the embassy in Cuba. And they would all, they would all report ringing in their ears and trouble thinking, brain damage, eventually. Brain damage. And we denied it for a while. First we said there's something going on and then we denied it. And now they're saying that somehow or another we have this technology. This is our technology now.
- [124:57]
Jason
So yesterday, a crazy CNN report saying that they have sources that say that we did an undercover like sting operation. And this was. Was done by the Department of Homeland Security. And they obtained and bought, and I think they said it was an eight figure purchase for this device. But they're saying that the device, which.
- [125:18]
Glenn Beck
Can I ask you something? We lowered our standards so far. When did we just stop getting Mission Impossible to go in and steal the damn thing? Why are we paying somebody eight figures? I mean, assuming that they're enemies, yeah.
- [125:30]
Jason
We can steal Maduro, but we can't steal this device.
- [125:32]
Glenn Beck
That's really, that's screwed up. Come on, America.
- [125:36]
Jason
So, Jazz, I think what the. One of the craziest things about this is we have sonic weapons, things that can do similar things that was described. But they're large, so they're very, very big. This apparently can fit. It's so small, it's been miniaturized to where it can be put into a backpack. If this report is accurate and you.
- [125:51]
Glenn Beck
Have to, you just turn it on and then everybody around there has it. Or do you have to point it at people?
- [125:56]
Jason
It's got to be directional because some people, some of the diplomats that were getting hit with this said that they were in their hotel room and then all of a sudden they were getting hit with this, but nobody around them was. So it's got to be very, very precise and directional.
- [126:08]
Jason Bottrill
Is this the technology that they were talking about they may have used on Maduro's guards?

I love that you brought this up. I think that was something even different, personally. I think it was something different and I think it's a capability that we have on a larger scale. And I remember, like Peter Doocy, remember he had that on Fox and they.

Were showing that it was a heat, like a heat ray.

Chip Roy
Yeah.

Jason
Well, I think it's even different from what he's describing because whatever did this, it knocked out radars. It knocked out the ability for them to use manpads to shoot down our helicopters.

Sponsor Representative
It did.

Jason
I think it, it was a blanket thing that did all of that, plus affected the soldiers on the ground. So that's terrifying where we're going as far as the future.

Imagine what war is going. This is like, you know what this is? This is 1915 before the war came and nobody knew what chemical weapons and tanks and everything else. And war completely changed overnight. I have a feeling I don't not want to go to war. Please tell me that you're comfortable with Donald Trump. What he said, you know, we're going to get him in Iran. Please, please tell me he's just.

Well, I think he's been okay. Well, I don't, I don't know how to make you feel better about this, but I think that he's been backed into a corner on this. I really do. I think he has to do something and that will come eventually. But as long as it's not boots on the ground. And they're very sure that what they target will actually draw attention away from, from the protesters. That's the key. How do they target the actual regime and IRGC and actually have it mean something and put pressure off the protesters?

Jason Bottrill
He said help was on the way. What does that mean?
- [127:38]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, killing the mullahs would be helpful. I think that's a really bad idea. But if I'm in the room, I at least say it is. Anybody talked about just killing the bad guys. I mean, I know we know where they are. Is there's. Anybody have an Israeli beeper on them that we can take over.

Jason
There's two stats. There's two parts of this relationship within Iran. One is the IRGC and the mullahs. The other is the army. Target the IRGC and the mullahs and empower the army. Yes.
