We got a lot to cover down the road where shadows hide Feel the dark on every side Stand your ground when times get down Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire the of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. It was a late night last night. It was a marathon clocking in at over an hour and a half. It was the longest presidential speech to Congress in our history. But there were some other firsts last night. We'll begin there in 60 seconds. First let me tell you about Ruff Greens. My German shepherd is uno and I love him. He is never more than six feet away from from me or my wife. He doesn't follow me around as much these days but he always moves when my wife moves. The truth is honestly Tanya and I both like him more than Our teenagers most days, you know, no backtalk, just loyalty. Just like I'm here. I love you. But age has. Cotton has caught up with Uno and he slowed way, way, way down. The tail wagging greets at the door are gone. Now he's, he's more like it's just a sleepy head. No. And I am not ready to lose my Uno. I've been feeding him rough greens for a while. I added it to his food. It gave him pep in his step again. He's friskier, happier. And he gave me or rough greens gave me the hope that Uno and I still have some adventures ahead. It is honestly like pushing the rewind button on your dog. If you love your dog like I love uno, head to roughgreens.com get a free trial bag. Just cover the shipping, don't wait. Give them the bounce back your, your dog deserves. It is rough greens.com Beck rough greens.com Beck all right, let's get into this marathon. That was yesterday. Love him or hate him, Donald Trump came out swinging. He was funny. He is in. He has his mojo. He brushed any attacks on him like they were, you know, McDonald fry crumbs on his tie. He really has become the president and not the president that we had as 45 last night. He touted his first six, six weeks in office as a whirlwind of action. And holy cow, is it, especially when he's going through it. I mean, it was, it was relentless, the number of things he talked about, slashing the bureaucracy, imposing the tariffs on Canada and Mexico to protect our border, stop the killer of fentanyl and rebuild our industrial base. He's also talked about cracking down on illegal immigration with a promise of mass deportations. That's a new phase that we're gonna be entering soon. He renamed a Texas wildlife refuge after a 12 year old Houston girl that was murdered by undocumented immigrants. It was kind of a poignant moment with, with her mother Alexis in the gallery. He also talked about securing the release of the hostages from Gaza, one from Russia, rebuilding the Abraham Accords from his first team term. Then there was Ukraine at the very end. It was almost like an afterthought. There's so much to cover. Trump read a letter from President Zelensky that came in yesterday at the end of this program. We read it to you yesterday, but it signals Ukraine's readiness to negotiate peace and sign the mineral deals. That's a massive turnaround after the Oval Office blow up last week. He also added that Russia's sending strong Signals that they're ready to talk to. Wouldn't that be beautiful? And then a new announcement. He dropped a bombshell about apprehending the Mastermind in the 2021 Abbey Gate bombing in Afghanistan. What a moment that was. He said, they're now en route to face American justice. He also made a 13 year old kid, DJ Daniel, a brain cancer survivor from Houston that just keeps defying all odds. He was up in the gallery and he was dressed in this little teeny police uniform. He had been made an honorary policeman for the Houston police because he just wanted to be, he always wanted to be a policeman. Last night, the President had the head of the Secret Service give him a, A badge, if you will. It's an honorary Secret Service post. He is now a Secret Service agent. A kid who defied a five year death sentence. Let's see. Chamber erupted with that, or at least half of it did. Because the real story, I think that we, we have to talk about is the planned and coordinated action or reaction or inaction of the Democrats. It was unbelievable, Unbelievable. They just sat there, some with their union printed signs or dressed in all pink for some unknown reason, some kind of statement that nobody knew about or really honestly care. Uh, they just sat there almost throughout the entire thing without moving. When Trump spoke of bringing the hostages back from Gaza, Americans reunited with their families, you would think everybody in the chamber would be like, okay, that was a good. Nope, not any movement from the Democrats, not a clap, not a twitch. When he turned to Ukraine, he looked right at him and said, wouldn't that be nice? I mean, and they didn't move, they didn't do anything. And he said, you want to keep this going on for another five years? And Elizabeth Warren actually shouted, yes. What kind of madness is that? All they're talking about today is he went, well, Pocahontas does in a funny line. Uh, nobody's talking about her actually screaming, yes, I want five more years of war. Wow. Okay, little gut punch there. Wake, wake up, America. Who is who you standing with? The ones shouting yes, for five more years of war. The Republicans booed, but the Democrats just stared ahead. They didn't say anything, nor are they going to. They'll defend Elizabeth Warren. Warren shouting out then came little dj, the surgical star, scars on his head, peeking out from his hair. He was standing with his dad. He's, he's fought cancer now, I think I said five years, but I think it's six years. He's fought it for six years. That's more than most Kids dream about their futures. Trump honored him and the GOP side leapt to their feet chanting, dj, dj, dj. This is all about a little kid's dreams. This is not about politics. The Joint Chiefs stood up. They can't clap, but they stood up in honor of dj. The Supreme Court justices rose to their feet. They cannot clap either, but they weren't rising to their feet for Trump, maybe for the office, partly. I mean, they rose several times out of decorum and what they have to do to show respect for the office, but for that moment, they rose for the kid. I mean, is there no decency? Cuz the Democrats didn't budge. They didn't budge, none of them. You have no respect for the boy's courage. I, I, no acknowledgement even of the dream to serve. But I understand, I mean, you are so out of touch with the American people that maybe, maybe that's what you do. Maybe that's what you do because, you know, you want to defund the cops. Here's a black kid that wants to be a cop. So you don't stand. Oh my gosh, I couldn't believe my eyes on their reaction to most things. And then the chaos. Why was President Trump 10 minutes late for the speech? Do you know? He was late for the national broadcast that was being watched worldwide by every leader because the leftist groups had blocked his motorcade to try to stop it from arriving at the Capitol. Now I doubt any of those people were arrested. They all should have been arrested. Enough of the chaos. Enough is enough. But the Secret Service, they're no dummies. At least right now they're not. The Secret Service knew in advance. And so that motorcade was a decoy. They had to take the President in another motorcade without the lights and sirens, so nobody really knew it was him and went a different direction. But the Democrats are disrupt, disrupt, disrupt, disrupt, destroy, disrupt, destroy at all costs. And they talk about the chaos of Doge. Last night I saw another first. I mean, I keep saying this over and over again. I mean, okay, I've done this my whole life, since I was 13. I was broadcasting, I had to pay attention to the news and what's going on again, another first. Sat there. Last night went well, never seen that before. Representative Al Green from Texas stood up screaming over the President waving his cane. Honestly, I thought we were going to get a Sumner moment. I, I really thought if the guy had a little more energy, maybe he'd go beat the President to death with the cane like they tried to do to a senator in the 1850s. But nope, he was just screaming, you don't have a mandate. We got to get into that later. What is a mandate, exactly? What is a mandate? Then? Speaker Johnson again here. I've never seen it before. He stands up twice and says, decorum, you are out of order. And Al Green just would not sit down. He kept shouting at first, the other Democrats were shouting with him. The second time, Mike Johnson stood up and said, I'm going to call the sergeant of arms. This is your last warning. He kept going. Sergeant in arms escorted him out. Okay, it's a first. I mean, I looked all night trying to search the records. I could find no comparisons to this in the modern age. Now, I didn't have the, you know, congressional records all the way back to George Washington. So I don't know if it is actually, you know, the only time, but with no congressional records to be able to go back into the 1800s, the closest I could find to something like this was Joe Wilson. We have the audio of Joe Wilson. Do you remember this? This is Joe Wilson during Obama.
- [13:42]
Liz Wheeler
The reforms I'm proposing would not apply.
- [13:45]
Stephen Moore
To those who are here illegal.
- [13:50]
Stu Burguiere
Listen to that reaction.
- [13:51]
January Littlejohn
It's not true.
- [13:53]
Liz Wheeler
And one more misunderstanding. I want to.
- [13:56]
Stu Burguiere
That was it. That was it. That's what Joe Wilson did. He said, you lie. Which we found out later. He did. What happened? Wilson faced hell for that. They censured him. The next day, bipartisan condemnation. Democrats like Nancy Pelosi said it was a disgrace to this chamber. Wilson apologized the next day, but the outrage lasted for months. Green. Well, by this time, when Wilson did it. By this time the next day, Republicans were already on TV and radio calling Wilson out, saying, you know, he's right, but you don't do that. Okay, the outcry from the Dems. Listen to this. No, I'm not waiting for audio. There is no outcry from the Democrats. We'll see what comes. But last night, it was just another fracture in an already completely broken room. And I. I get part of it. I do. I get part of it. Policies divide us. And our policies couldn't be further apart from one another. And I didn't cheer for Barack Obama or Biden. I didn't. I didn't. Not on their accomplishments. I firmly believe what they said were accomplishments were dismantling the United States of America. So, no, I'm not going to stand and applaud on those accomplishments. I'm not. But when the President walks in, I am going to stand up. I am going to cheer for little Kids with cancer, survivors, heroes, hope none of it moves. You hope for our country, or even a little kid with cancer. I mean, that is bigger than party gang. When Trump talked about ending wars, bringing hostages home, honoring a kid's dying dream. I don't know about you, but I felt a flicker of something this morning. I, I was listening to the news and they played that part back where he was honoring this little. I'm doing it again. And I actually teared up. I don't like those things. I really don't. I don't like, I don't like the, the staging of these speeches. But there, that was a moment. I don't know what I felt. Pride, possibility, hope for that little kid, a realization that my problems aren't so big. But the Democrats couldn't find anything at all. I actually feel bad for them. I feel pity for them. How dark must your world be that you can sit through that completely unmoved? How cynical must you be to think that's just Trump doing the Trump thing? How cynical do you have to be? How hopeless? That's why their policies are their policy. I mean, Trump said last night, we're ending all of this stuff. We're ending it. We're returning to common sense. We're, we're going back to not being crazy. Every kid needs to know you are perfect, just the way God made you. Nope, nothing from them. If we can't stand together on tried and true eternal principles, that's bad. That's really bad. But when we can't stand together for courage, peace, decency, what's left? Are we so far gone that even a child's fight against cancer can't bridge a gap? The answer is yes, I pity them, but I fear for all of us. How are we ever going to be the United States again when. When common ground feels like a fairytale? I have to tell you, I'm still very hopeful. It's been an incredible, what, six weeks with this President Trump's pushing for peace in Ukraine, hostages are coming home, kids like DJ reminds us what trouble really looks like, what grit really looks like, and how to make the best of a bad situation, maybe that's enough to build on if we let it be. But I have to tell you, if you voted for any of these Democrats and you were also feeling, oh, this is all bull crap, you're very, very cynical. Let this be a wake up call for Democrats. Please don't see sleep through this, because if we can't agree on some things, we're not going to agree on anything. And we're never coming back together. Back in a minute. All right. It's 2:00 in the morning. Your little girl's cough has turned into something worse. She's now got a fever that's spiking. Her breathing is ragged. And you're either someplace you don't know or a small town. The pharmacy is dark. The nearest ER is at least an hour away. You feel that pit in your stomach. You are helpless. Then you remember the Jace Medical kit that you have. You grab it from the shelf, pull out the antibiotics, you follow the instructions and by morning she's resting easy and you can get her in to the doctor. You're the dad that didn't flinch. That's what Jace Medical does. It turns panic into power. Be ready for the moment that matters.

I have to tell you, last night, you know, I've been saying for a long time, we need a president that is like more like jfk points to the sky and says, we're going to the moon because Americans unite on big ideas. Or at least we used to. There were three moonshots last night. Three. And it wasn't like, I'm gonna cure cancer. How? What? What do you do? What? These are actually in progress. And believe it or not, the one that involves space, the one that everybody should go, really? We're going to do that? That was the easiest one. Balance the federal budget. Good luck. Good luck. Number two. That's a moonshot today. That's a moonshot. Going to Mars and finding out and reversing what's happening to our kids. The autism rates that are going through the roof, what's happening? If he achieves one of those, it will define his presidency. But there's a possibility he does two out of three. The only one. I'm really going. They're not going to hit a balanced budget. I'm. Yes, I'm cynical. I'm cynical on that one because I saw the people in the chamber last night. What if he goes to Mars and balances the budget and has healthy kids? We've unlocked what the hell is happening? Maybe it's impossible, but it is nice to have somebody who is actually pointing to the sky and say, let's go that way. Now. How was the speech? Oh, this is killing them. How is the speech embraced? CBS did a poll last night. 75% approval rating. 75% now Democrats. Now you know how we felt about Obama.
- [22:38]
Stephen Moore
What the hell?
- [22:39]
Stu Burguiere
How is that possible? Hey, CNN had to report. 69% approval rating. Let me just say one of my favorite lines that President Trump has been saying lately. How's that working out for you Democrats? How's that working out for you? Not well. We're gonna go into this speech in depth. Want to hear from you today. Also, Liz Wheeler, her insights before she gets on a plane today and goes back home. So we do that next. This is Glenn Beck. I want to talk to you about something we just cannot afford to ignore. We are living in a world that has gone mad. Even now in the Trump era, government spending is spiraling out of control. Inflation is up 3% just in the last few. It's eating your savings. It's. It's like a fat kid. If your money was candy, it's going to be gone soon. Protect what you have. Uh, hopefully you understand this. We've been talking about it for so long. But the shoe could drop at any moment. But there is hope. Lear Capital has your back with precious metals, gold or silver, the bedrock of wealth. For centuries, these precious metals have been a hedge against chaos, holding strong when paper money turns to dust, figuratively and literally. So don't wait for the storm to hit.

Stu Burguiere
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I am sitting in my studio with two girls. One I completely understand. And we, we want to welcome again to the studio our good friend Liz Wheeler, who is with us. And, and then the other woman is Stu, who is always complaining. It's cold in here. It's cold in here.
- [25:19]
Liz Wheeler
I'm just part of your DEI efforts.
- [25:20]
Stu Burguiere
Right. Yeah, I got it. How you doing, Liz?
- [25:23]
Glenn Beck
I'm good, Stu. I mean, in your defense in this comment, Stu did inform me when I came into the studio that he's wearing a sleeping bag right now, which he actually is. Oh, no, he really is.
- [25:32]
Liz Wheeler
That's been the best solution for the 14 degree studio. That we have here.
- [25:36]
Stu Burguiere
Get over it. Anyway, Liz, what did you think of the speech last night? What is the real story?
- [25:42]
Glenn Beck
The real story is the poll that you mentioned in the previous segment which showed, what did you say? 79% of people? 75%.
- [25:50]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. When it was the CBS poll, I think.
- [25:54]
Glenn Beck
I think it was 75%. We'll go with that. Will you verify the exact number? But the effect is exactly the same percentage give it with a little margin of error as the number of people who oppose boys playing in girls sports. It's actually reflective of the number of sane people versus the number of insane people in our country. And it is so exciting, so encouraging to see that Trump derangement syndrome is actually dissipating the general population.
- [26:22]
Stu Burguiere
Even though you might not like Trump, they may not be like, I love Donald Trump and everything he does. They are liking what he is doing and he's liking the direction. They're liking the direction of the country getting away from this madness.
- [26:38]
Glenn Beck
Well, exactly. That's what Trump derangement syndrome was, though. It blinded people to his actions and just told them to hate him because of like, what? Some, some made up accusations or nonsense and it actually did blind people. But I thought brilliance of the speech last night, I really enjoyed it. I like his narrative storytelling. I like the way that he speaks to each issue in a way that's both not condescending but also understandable to anybody, regardless of how closely or not you follow politics. But the brilliance of the speech happened within the first five minutes, less than that first two minutes, when he points to the Democrats, who, with their stupid little signs, you know, what do they look like?
- [27:16]
Stu Burguiere
I don't know.
- [27:17]
Glenn Beck
I don't know whose idea that was, but. But the memes are great. So I appreciate the idea. But he points to the Democrats and he says, it doesn't matter what I do. It doesn't matter if I cure cancer. It doesn't matter if I achieve universal peace, things that all of us want. You would still not stand up and clap. And the brilliance of saying that.
- [27:36]
Stu Burguiere
He said it at the beginning.
- [27:37]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Before he said anything of substance.
- [27:40]
Stu Burguiere
Right before he was predicting, he was showing. I know you so well. You're not going to stand for anything. No matter what I do or say. You won't.
- [27:51]
Glenn Beck
That's right. It wasn't even so much as a of a prediction as he wanted to highlight to everyone watching that I am now going to walk you through a whole bunch of these things that I'm talking about, whether it's health in our country, whether it's, you know, world peace, you know, what he's doing with Zelensky, whether whatever it might be that people like getting boys out of girls sports, Everybody likes that. Except for the man wearing pink in the Democrat caucus. And it highlighted it so that throughout the speech, every time the Democrats didn't stand up, we as viewers thought, oh, because they're so hateful, because they don't care about us. They only care about their own viciousness towards Trump. And that was the brilliance of the speech because we all came away with it with this list in our minds of all the different things that they can't bring themselves to clap for. They couldn't clap for a little boy with brain cancer.
- [28:42]
Stu Burguiere
I know.
- [28:42]
Glenn Beck
How evil is that?
- [28:44]
Stu Burguiere
You, you described this. You tweeted last night on X. You said it is good versus evil. I mean, it really is. It's like, I think, and I'm not saying that necessarily last night, but I think there was some last night and there is lots in Washington. I really do think we're seeing possession of people because it's, it makes no sense whatsoever. And they're so that. It's like you're watching the Exorcist.
- [29:15]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I had the exorcist of the Washington D.C. diocese on my show in the fall. I want to say it was in October. He really interesting, really, in a funny way, very down to earth guy, even though he must deal with literal demons. And I ask him, tongue in cheek, because he's probably not going to say exactly, but I ask him, I was like, so what is Congress like in that regard? And he's not gonna betray names, but he was like, there's a lot going on over there and I believe it. I mean, the specific post that you're referring to on X was when Donald Trump, and this was one of his most profound, sincere moments. I think one of the ways that you and I can see how much he's changed post assassination attempt is when he said, our message to American children is that you are perfect the way that God made you. And I mean, I'm getting the chills right now even thinking about when's the last time that we had a politician who looked at children and said, God made you the way that you are for a purpose. And the Democrats refuse to stand for that or applaud. That is evil.
- [30:19]
Stu Burguiere
I know. And how many, not just presidents. When was the last time you heard a preacher say that? Right. I mean, it's been so nuts. It's nice to return to Some sort of normalcy. But if you're watching CNN last night, I have to play this. This is when he looked at the left and said, you guys want another? Because they didn't clap or anything for an end to the war in Ukraine. They didn't clap. And he looked at him and said, you want another five years of war? And Elizabeth Warren said, yes. I don't even know. I can't even get my arms around that response. But listen how CNN and Jake Tapper handled that cut. One never heard a president attack the opposition in a speech like this in.
- [31:12]
Liz Wheeler
Such a pointed way. Even going after, to use a rather.
- [31:17]
Stu Burguiere
Derisive nickname for Senator Elizabeth Warren, who.
- [31:21]
Donald Trump
Reacted with smiles and clappings, basically, she.
- [31:24]
Stu Burguiere
Wasn'T going to give him that moment. Unbelievable. Unbelievable that they were worried about. He called him. He called her Pocahontas. Okay. Not my favorite thing for a president to do, but it's kind of my favorite thing. But let's get over it, though.
- [31:41]
Liz Wheeler
It wasn't even, you know, it's one thing if he just kind of came out and just did it, but even she was being a moron, right? Like, you know, he fired back at her. That was not him. You know, he didn't start that.
- [31:50]
Glenn Beck
In defense of him calling her Pocahontas. That's not just an ad hominem that he pulled out of his phone.
- [31:54]
Stu Burguiere
No, you're right. You're right.
- [31:55]
Glenn Beck
Reminding people that she's a liar and that she got into her position of power, which she abuses by lying to you. So it's actually, in my opinion, not only one of his funniest insults.
- [32:04]
Stu Burguiere
I love every time he insults, I'm gonna use that.
- [32:07]
Glenn Beck
But it's actually his way. It's like crooked Hillary. It wasn't just him calling her a name. It was reminding people of what she'd done. And that's brilliant to me. I don't mind that.
- [32:14]
Stu Burguiere
Let's talk a little bit about what we were talking about off air yesterday. I. And the president has got to start arresting people who are known to have broken the law. Not. Not just people who are like, oh, you know, I called for his impeachment. You're okay, maybe you're second on the list. But people who have broken the law because we lost hope when Hillary didn't go to jail. And we're like, okay, some me, okay, we don't arrest our enemy. Well, that. That's gone. We don't. We don't go after our political enemies. I've always thought that was wrong. But you don't want to start that. Well, they started it. And so it's that cat's out of the bag. You have broken the law. Every single one of these person, persons should be tried if they are guilty, convicted, and go to jail. No mercy on that. No mercy. And I want it for the Republicans and the Democrats. I think President Trump goes into an entirely new category when he does that.
- [33:26]
Glenn Beck
Yes. As he should. I reflected on this during his first term that I think it was a strategic mistake not to go after Hillary. And it was well intentioned because of the optics of the thing. We don't want to go after our political enemies. But that standard was actually, I mean, we're in this new era, right, where we're questioning all of these quote, unquote norms and traditions. And that standard was actually a little disordered because it's not that you don't want to go after a political enemy, it's that you want to go after anyone who has violated the law. And we stopped doing that just because of optics. And that should never be the reason not to hold someone accountable to the law, because then they're going to be emboldened to break the law again. So if you look at it purely from the standpoint of who has violated the law in a very significant way and abused one of the most egregious crimes, using the power of the government to go after American citizens because of their political views, those people should be in prison. Of course they should. Obviously. I mean, we can talk names. We were, we were throwing some names around last night. Adam Schiff should be on that list. James Comey should be on that list. Peter Strzok and Lisa Page should be on that list. Just because that happened years ago doesn't mean we should just brush it off. I mean, if we want it to stop, we want to stop it.
- [34:36]
Stu Burguiere
Everybody, everybody that was involved with the bat crap out of China and then lied about it, tried to cover up. Every single person should go to jail on that. That's. That was a crime against humanity. And they knew it. They knew it. They covered it up intentionally. I mean, if we don't have a line and we don't make examples out of people. Look what he's doing with the border. He's making examples out of people. Mm. Don't come to the border gang. Don't come. Cuz I'm gonna track you down and I'll take you out and you're never coming back to America. Look at what happened. The easy people are not going anymore. They're like, I don't want that. You've got to put a line in the sand. The really bad criminals that think they're gonna be a mastermind, and I'm gonna get away with it. Unless the Scooby Doo van shows up, they're going to continue to do whatever it is. But you've stopped all. I think these people who have knowingly defrauded the government through the bureaucracy, if they were part of putting that stuff through, they knew what was going on. Jail.
- [35:46]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Any. Any. Even if we don't know the names. I mean, I name Adam Schiff and James Comey because they were so blatant in their abusive government that we could see it happening before our eyes. But anybody in the FBI who labeled traditional Catholics as domestic terrorists, who labeled parents proposed critical race theory and transgender ideology in school as domestic terrorists, all of those people, you know who put together those memos, you can look at computer forensics to figure out who was involved in those projects. Those people should be prosecuted for that.
- [36:15]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. And not. Not allowed to step down. And we accept your resignation.
- [36:20]
Glenn Beck
No, prosecuted.
- [36:21]
Stu Burguiere
Prosecuted, you go to jail.
- [36:24]
Glenn Beck
And you mentioned Foushee. Even Joe Biden knew that Fauci was culpable for these crimes. That's why he got a pardon all the way back to 2014, when Fauci started breaking the law regarding gain of function research, which is, of course, what led to the creation of the COVID 19 virus in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. But we still have an option for what to do for Dr. Fauci. States. Yeah, states. Attorneys general. I mean, this is something. Or even local DA's. Think about the strategy that the Democrats used against Trump. I don't think that Republicans should stoop to trying to indict people who are not guilty of a crime simply because they don't like them as politicians, which is what the Democrats did. No one's suggesting that. But there are many, many Democrat politicians who've committed egregious crimes. Go after them.

Stu Burguiere
I think the world changes if you do. And, you know, we were talking about this last night. The biggest enemy that nobody's talking about is Europe. That whole big state, that whole European Union thing. They're still doing that corrupt big state WEF stuff. You don't think they're gonna. They're gonna try to influence us? We were influencing their people. You don't think they're trying to do that here and trying to trap him and. And entangle him? Of course they are. Of course they are. He's just got to do it what he did last night. Stay cool, stay calm, stay the course. Don't move or take the eye off the ball and do not take your foot off the accelerator. Go, go, go, go. Liz, thank you.

Well, imagine if one of those flashy TV magicians came to your house and lowered a giant sheet over the whole thing with helicopters and then waved his hands and yelled some magic words and your house just disappeared.
- [39:53]
Stu Burguiere
Wow, that'd be impressive. I'd like it impressive, especially if the sheet was really, really soft, Right?
- [39:58]
Liz Wheeler
Yes, cozy. Well, the bad news is that your house would be gone. That would be bad. But, you know, the good news is the magician would be right there. So you could, yeah, kind of just punch him in the face because that would be very, very annoying.
- [40:09]
Stu Burguiere
It'd be impressive and he'd make it come back because it's all an illusion.

Liz Wheeler
Do we need Glenn A speech for the first year of a new presidency at the State of the Union?
- [41:30]
Stu Burguiere
No. And I hate them. I mean, you know, as I said last night, there were more ups and downs last night than with Lily Phillips. But you know, I can't stand the applause. Standing away.
- [41:42]
Liz Wheeler
The format is not my favorite.
- [41:43]
Stu Burguiere
It's not my favorite. But with this guy, maybe I think.
- [41:46]
Liz Wheeler
You did maybe this time because there was so much that happened.
- [41:49]
Stu Burguiere
So much.
- [41:49]
Liz Wheeler
Remember he made a major speech six weeks ago. I know about what he was going to do. I still think it was necessary.
- [41:56]
Stu Burguiere
Right. What he was going to do six weeks ago. Last night was what I just did.
- [42:02]
Liz Wheeler
It was like a review.
- [42:02]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, it was amazing.
- [42:03]
Liz Wheeler
I think it was helpful for a lot of people because not everyone. I think even in this business covering this on a daily basis, it's been really hard to keep up with. I can't even imagine if you have a real life.
- [42:14]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, no.
- [42:15]
Liz Wheeler
Trying to understand what's going on right now with all of this.
- [42:17]
Stu Burguiere
That's what I thought of last night. I didn't see anything new there. But we live and breathe this all the time.
- [42:23]
Liz Wheeler
That's how I felt too.
- [42:24]
Stu Burguiere
I don't think the average person was looking for anything really new. I think they just wanted to know what, what, what are, what's happened.
- [42:31]
Liz Wheeler
There was a lot of guests in illustration via guests. And I will say, you know, it's not my favorite part of those speeches though I do think some of them were really impactful. I mean, the kid with cancer was just freaking. I love him. I just love him.
- [42:45]
Stu Burguiere
We have the mom on of the girl that. Which one was. There were so many last night. Yeah, I think she's the one that, you know was volleyball hit in the head.
- [42:57]
Liz Wheeler
Oh God.
- [42:57]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I think. I think she's on in about a half an hour, I think. Yeah.
- [43:01]
Liz Wheeler
Yeah, there's several of those. You know, the two victims of the migrant crime. Legal immigrant crime. I don't want to call it migrant crime. Sorry about that. Illegal immigrant crime that those both were. I mean just the Blake and Riley's mother's face broken actually painted the picture of the crime. Crime. Just looking at her face, it was just soul crushing.
- [43:27]
Stu Burguiere
I know.
- [43:28]
Liz Wheeler
I mean it was a lot of really powerful moments and I. I don't know. That's not what Trump's known for, right? He's known for Pocahontas, right?
- [43:33]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [43:34]
Liz Wheeler
You know, calling people names, being funny. He hit some of those notes really well.

Glenn Beck, let me talk to you about the burner launcher. Imagine your wife sitting in the car at the gas pump. Dusk is settling over the parking lot. You're inside, you're grabbing snacks and a drink that she wanted. When you glance, glance out and you see him, a figure with a hood, moving with purpose toward her. Your gut starts to twist. The world slows down and you're too far away to close the gap. Here's the good news. She's not defenseless now. She insisted, you insisted that she carry the burner launcher. Now it's in her hands. She aims. She fires. A cloud of pepper or tear gas burst. 60ft of reckoning. That creep is now on his knees, gasping, clawing at his face, which is, you know, just exactly what you wanted him to do. And he'd still be doing it when the cops arrive. You charge out to your wife, heart is pounding. You find they're standing there, tall, rattled, maybe a little. But on the whole, standing tall. She protected herself. You can protect what matters Most. Go to Burna.com Beck B Y R N A dot com Beck use the promo code Beck for 10% off. This isn't a gadget. It's peace of mind.

It down the road where shadows hide Feel the dark on every side Stand your ground when times get down Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello America. Last night was an epic rant from Donald Trump. It was the longest speech in history given by a president in front of Congress, at least one that any of us care about. I didn't, we didn't go back and see if I'm sure there's somebody who's a president that we all wouldn't have liked if we were alive back in 1820. It was like, ah, the guy just wouldn't shut up. But as far as I know, longest in history. And there are some questions on what the hell are the Democrats thinking when I get into that here in just a second. Also going to talk to our Washington correspondent who is there in the Capitol last night, Chris Bedford. Going to talk to him in 60 seconds. First, Lear Capital. Inflation is back on the rise in 2025. It is up 3% just in January. That means your cash's value, it's eroding. It's going down. Meanwhile, gold is smashing records, closing in on $3,000 an ounce. The economy is sending its warning signals. Are you seeing them? The U.S. debt interest, the interest is now $1.126 trillion a year. That's going to go up. That outpaces defense and Medicare. That's not sustainable. Gang experts say it's a cycle that will weaken the dollar and fuel inflation further. He's got a big job ahead of him to do. This is why gold and silver are smart moves today. They're tangible assets that hold their value when paper money falters. Lear Capital, they've been helping Americans protect their wealth for over 25 years with precious metals. I think somebody with somebody. Will you check this? Gold is up, I believe 45% since last year. Proof it's a safe haven in shaky times. Don't wait for the next economic shock. Diversify now.

Liz Wheeler
Glenn, before you get to Chris, which is pretty impactful actually, if you remember Sheila Jackson Lee, she was replaced by Sylvester Turner, Democrat in Texas, who was just sworn into office a few weeks ago right. In January for the first time, died last night.
- [49:01]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, my gosh.
- [49:02]
Liz Wheeler
I don't know any. We don't know the cause of it yet. Obviously sad. He was an older gentleman, I don't know, but he was tweeting about the speech, the typical Democratic forum, just about 12 hours ago. Him passing away, though, is obviously sad for the family and everything.
- [49:17]
Stu Burguiere
Does our governor, I mean, just, I hate to make it about politics, but none of us really knew the guy. I feel bad for the family, et cetera, et cetera. But does the governor.
- [49:26]
Liz Wheeler
No, it won't be. It wouldn't be an appointment. I don't think they do go through a. There's a special election that would come up.
- [49:30]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [49:31]
Liz Wheeler
The issue, though, is with these majorities, so slim, you know, losing a Democratic House member is really impactful. So if we hear anything about the cause of death and stuff, we'll let you know.
- [49:43]
Stu Burguiere
Chris Bedford, Blaze Media Senior Editor for Politics, Washington Correspondent for Blaze Media the polls last night on Donald Trump, they're stunning. What do you think they mean, Chris?
- [49:57]
Chris Bedford
They're absolutely incredible. When you see the CBS poll, you go poll of people who watched, you saw 76% of people approving of the speech versus 23% disapproving. I don't recall having really seen those numbers. This is, I was thinking this must be how a lot of Democrats felt after Barack Obama's first State of the Union when he was widely popular. He spoke in a kind of a unifying language, even though that's not what he was doing. He copied Reagan in a lot of his speeches. But the difference between Donald Trump and early Barack Obama is Donald Trump is not a blank canvas that you can just paint your messianic visions onto. He's actually someone who's been president. He's someone who's doing things. He's well known to the American people. They know what he's doing. And this, that speech last night was called divisive by cnn, called divisive by the Democrats who made childish fools of themselves. But it clearly wasn't. 76% in 2025 is what a more unified America looks like. And those are the themes that he played on, whether he was talking about immigration or crime or security or energy or business. Despite what the USAID funded left wing nonprofits say, these are actually popular issues in the United States. And this could be the beginning of a lasting coalition.
- [51:17]
Stu Burguiere
I have to tell you, it is going to further destroy the media, because they're not going to change. They're just going to keep following the Democrats right down the drain. The Democrats, they don't get it yet. I'm glad they don't. But it is incredible to me that they can't see that the entire world is shifting. We may be leading the world, but if you look at what's happening in Europe with what the people are saying versus the wef people, the world is changing and we're leading the way.
- [51:54]
Chris Bedford
It's kind of wild to see the shift that we've had, the kind of shift towards a more revolutionary thinking American right versus a really staid and old and aging American left that doesn't know what to do. The image of Al Green out there shaking his cane and yelling like an old man at the moon is. Looks more like it could be a Bob Dylan song. The times are a changing.
- [52:19]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [52:19]
Chris Bedford
I went to a concert down in the Florida Georgia line the other day and I heard for the first time in my life a moving rendition of this land is your land. This land is my land that was clearly from a pro Trump perspective, not from the left wing protest song. Those when the left has been in power and white knuckle gripping on these 80 year olds to this power for essentially since President Barack Obama was elected because of the way they exercise their power through the deep state and it's become extremely unpopular. They are the establishment. Everything is sweeping around outside of them and at the end of the day they look like the old man swinging his cane and yelling until he gets his score to death.
- [52:57]
Stu Burguiere
Last night I, as a broadcaster was hoping he was going to introduce, you know, second phase on things, et cetera, et cetera. There wasn't really anything new that happened last night. But I, as I thought about it as I'm listening to him, I'm not the average person. We eat and breathe this every day. We know what he's done in the last six weeks, or at least honestly most of it. We don't know even all of it because it's just moving too fast. And that made me realize the average person, I think they needed to hear six weeks later, this is what I promised you and this is now what I've done. And we're only beginning.
- [53:37]
Chris Bedford
Exactly. I think that's right. We in the news industry, we kind of crave novelty. We're addicted to the constantly changing things. What's the next thing? But this is a president who's more established than you're usually going to get. He's already got his first four years in office. He spent four years in the wilderness coming up with exactly what he wanted to do. He laid it out all on the campaign trail. The more honest liberals will admit that none of these things are a surprise. The American people voted for this. And now when you have a speech with everybody tuning in, this very long kind of speech that we see here, he just lists it out. Here's what I'm doing. Here's what we've already accomplished. Here's what's coming next. And we follow it so closely. But a lot of people, I think, were probably hearing about it from his perspective for the first time.
- [54:21]
Stu Burguiere
Chris, thank you very much. Chris Bedford. He is part of the Blaze. He is our senior editor in Washington, D.C. our chief correspondent. He sends out a brilliant newsletter every day. Just go to the Blaze and sign up for it. Brilliant. Every day. We use it every day. You know, there is part of what he is saying that I don't think people are seeing. The. What, did you need something? The brilliance. I'm sorry, man. I'm really tired. You move. And I'm like, what? Stu saying he's panicked. I had, like, two hours.
- [54:53]
Liz Wheeler
Yeah, I needed something. I have an itch.
- [54:55]
Stu Burguiere
That was all right. So, you know, he is truly brilliant on how he's doing things. You may not even agree with him, but if you can't look at what he's doing and see the bigger picture, you're really missing out. You're really missing out. Last night, he talked about tariffs, and everybody's screaming about tariffs and the price of eggs. Well, why are the eggs. I wish he would have said this. Why are eggs so expensive? Because we killed millions of chickens back in the fall. What happens when you kill millions of chickens? Chickens don't lay eggs. That's why. That was our government saying you have to kill all of these chickens because of the bird flu. That's why the price of eggs is so high. Okay, he can't lay eggs himself. What is he gonna do? You gotta get more chickens and get them laying eggs. All right. What he was talking about last night, and I was so glad to hear him say, look, this is going to be painful for a while. We have a lot to repair. But he is truly a revolutionary president. It's amazing. We're living at a time in an American revolution. He is, with the tariffs, he is rebuilding our industrial base. He's bringing back jobs that Barack Obama used to say, you know, people say, I'm gonna bring back jobs. Well, how are you gonna do that? Those Jobs just aren't coming back. This is how you do it. This is how you do it. Now, whether you like it or not, that's a different story. But this is the way you do it. When he was talking about Canada last night, he did talk about, hey, they gotta do their stuff on the border, but also we need to rebuild our factories and bring things home here. So. So he's seeing that we need. And who after Covid. Have we all forgotten how you for the very first time went into a store and they said, we don't have any. I don't know when they're even going to be in stock. And you're like this. Am I in America? Never had that. Why was it like that? Because we didn't have an industrial base here. The supply chain broke down. And when we were getting stuff from all over the world, you couldn't get stuff. And essential stuff is needed, like medicine. We don't make it. China does so bringing back the. The jobs and the factories, becoming the AI leader and dominate that field. So it's in the hands of us over China. Twice in the speech, he talked about the importance of rare earth minerals. Nobody knows what rare earth minerals are. If you like silicon. And I'm not talking the ones that you know are put into boop. I'm talking about the chips. Huge announcement just the other day, and the president talked about it. The people that control 90% of all of the supercomputer chips, all the chips we're going to need for AI, it's all in Taiwan. Now, you and I both know there's a clock ticking before China just goes and takes Taiwan. This company is now moving and making chips here in America. They're building sterile labs. That's not something that you and I are like, hey, you know what? Let's make supercomputer chips. They're the only company that really does it. And they're moving some of their work here so they have a secondary base that is huge. China has locked in 70 to 90% of the rare earth minerals. Without them, we don't have those chips. We can't make them. Also the second time he mentioned rare earth minerals. Greenland. Greenland. Everybody makes fun of him for Greenland. I'm telling you, he sees he rebuilt our nuclear arsenal. And if he's told me once and told you once, he's told you a thousand times, nuclear war cannot be fought because no one wins. Everybody dies. He is so against nuclear war, but he just rebuilt it his last term and he has told me and I'M sure he said it on TV to you. I rebuilt it. I know what it can do. You don't want to know what it can do. We can never use this stuff, okay? That's why Greenland is so important. We've got to be able to control the poles. We have to be there controlling the poles. And they have rare earth minerals. So he's thinking ahead. This isn't just him going, I want Greenland. I want to. I want to show another star on our flag. That's not what this is about. And I'm going to. I'm going to give him a. I'm going to give him a way to really hit Greenland with this, other than we're going to. You are going to be ours. Not probably the best approach, but I'll talk about that because there's a real way to approach Greenland. Last night, he also talked about the Panama Canal. We are back in charge of the Panama Canal. Nobody was even thinking of the Panama Canal. No president, nobody in Congress, no senator was like, you know, the pentacle Panama Canal, that's where we get all of our ships over to the. The Asian part of the world. You know, something happens. Hawaii, China, Japan. We gotta get them from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean quickly. And China was in complete control of the canal. He comes in and he says, panama Canal. Everybody's like, what the hell are you talking about? Panama Canal. Why does he want that back? It's crucial strategically. That's where a lot of this genius is. He is. He's not just saying where I need. I need a billion, trillion dollars for infrastructure. And then you don't even know what that means. He's actually rebuilding the power structure of America. Now when he talked about the Panama Canal, he did say, and a big American company bought it, bought the two ports, and they're buying many, many other things to secure the Panama Canal. There's a reason why he said it was a big American company and didn't say what company it was. Because the company that it. That did it is blackrock, but better than China. I think more in just a second. Let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust dot com. Your home is your home. It's where you make memories with your kids. It's where you've measured them on the door frame. It's not just bricks and mortar, but a sanctuary. So legacy. Your kids, when you try to sell it, are going to say, but that's the house I grew up in. Put out trying to sell it. There's a jungle of fast talking agents who you know will sell you a swamp and call it paradise. Been there, done that, burned, betrayed, left. Wondering who can I trust who actually listens to me? Who's fighting for me. This is why I built Real Estate Agents I Trust dot com. This is not some faceless direct directory. This is my team, handpicking, vetting agents who will fight for you like they're fighting for their own family. They know your neighborhood, they know your values. They have the same heartbeat. They listen to this show. They're the same kind of people. They've sold homes in 10 weeks flat. Impossible. No, not for these people. This isn't a transaction, it's a mission.

Real estate Agents I trust dot com. Ten seconds. Station id. You know, it is always our moms who are on the front lines protecting our children. And we have the mom. You saw, if you watch the President's speech, we have the mom. Her. Her name is January Little John. She was the guest of the President last night. What happened to her 13 year old daughter is a tale I'm going to have her tell you. You, you've probably heard it before, but I want you to meet her as she gets back onto a plane to go home after the speech last night. You know, somebody on my staff said to me, glenn, I don't understand what the Democrats are even doing. What are they doing? And Jason said, you know what, maybe it's Solar Linsky rules for radicals. Maybe. Maybe. Remember, the number one is pick a target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. That's what they did to Donald Trump. Okay. Or the one that says keep the pressure on. That's what they did to Donald Trump. But those now have failed. He defeated those. Why would you keep doing that? Well, the other thing in Rules of Radicals, it's all about disruption and unity. In your disruption and push the enemy into a corner, you gotta be unified on a message. Well, the Democrats have done that. I. I wanna just play something. This is yesterday. 22 Democrats released a video where they all were saying word for word exactly the same thing.
- [64:50]
Donald Trump
When I win, I will immediately bring prices down. Starting on day one.
- [64:56]
Stu Burguiere
And here, 22 of them reading the same script as if it was them. It wasn't their refusal to clap, even for things like peace in Ukraine or a dying boy's courage could look like a calculated freeze out. Don't give Trump an inch, don't legitimize him, make him isolated, make him the bad guy. But Elizabeth Warren yelling, yes, when Donald Trump said, you want five more years of war, yes, that's polarizing. Except I think it polarizes you. I mean, it's straight from the script force, a stark us versus them line. But you don't want to be part of us if you're the one saying, yeah, I want more war doesn't. It doesn't work. Al Green, his outburst, screaming over President Trump until the sergeant of arms dragged him out, feels to me like Alinsky's. Keep the pressure on. Chaos as a weapon, rules be damned. But Americans are tired of all of that. Rules for radicals is all about organizing the powerless to win power, not holding a congressional tantrum when you're clearly already in the minority because of your viewpoints. Alinsky used to say pragmatism. Don't just yell win last night. And really for the last six weeks, all they're doing is yelling. And the things they're standing up for the American people are not for Greens rejection. And his ejection last night in the House first in my memory, I looked it up. I can't find any, any since the founding of our country. Example of something like that. This is just mess. The optics fit for, I guess a radical vibe, defiant, unyielding, rejecting norms. But it ain't working. Democrats. Let me say it like Donald Trump said last night, how's that working out for you? This is Glenn Beck. What if you wake up tomorrow dead? Wait, that wouldn't work. You wouldn't wake up. What if you wake up tomorrow and everything you knew has changed? It's over. Somebody attacked our nation's power grid with an emp and all of a sudden electricity is bye bye. It could happen to you. And people say that I scare people. You know, I use scare tactics. That's ridiculous. Actually, this could happen. I hope it's not. I hope that's not the emergency that you should prepare for. But if it does, if we get an EMP, we are over 90% of the population they say will die in the first year because we're not prepared. Food becomes a really, really big deal now. Power also is really needed. Well, my Patriot Supply has just released the new grid. Dr. 3300. It's the first solar generator with revolutionary EMP Inter technology. This is really important. I have this on my house. It protects your power from devastating EMP attacks, keeping you and your family safe. It will run everything from your freezers to medical devices, power tools, whatever you need. Don't wait.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Friday I'm going to be headlining given the keynote address at the Kids in Country gala. It's an opportunity for you to be part of a movement that is reshaping Florida's educational landscape. This group is taking action. They're not just talking about it. They led a coalition of 17 organizations in a legislative effort to protect children children from the obscene materials in schools, reinforcing the importance of parental oversight and moral education. And just last year, the Liberty challenge, they raised $200,000amilestone that directly funds the launch of eight new micro schools, their innovative God centered learning environments and are empowering Florida families with real alternatives to educational options. You can get your tickets now@goflca.org Go FLCA, that's one word.org and stand with us. You can also call 239-250-3320 and get your tickets. I will see you there in Florida on Friday. Last night it was, it was pretty amazing to see the people that were in the gallery. January Little John is, is one of those people. When her 13 year old daughter was captured by the idea that she was born in the wrong body. Instead of helping her learn to love who she was, her school decided to affirm her self hate and said, you know what you hate being a girl. You're a boy. You know that's better. You could be a boy. The school helped her change her pronouns, pick new bathrooms, even decide if she wanted to sleep with boys on overnight trips, all without parental consent. It's evil, predatory. And mom January took him to court to fight it. Until now, moms like her were alone in the fight. And most of us, if you had a problem like this, you didn't know what to do. Not anymore. America is finally coming to her senses, Trump leading the way. She was in the gallery last night. She's about to catch her back home in Florida and she joins us now. January, welcome to the program.
- [71:02]
January Littlejohn
Thank you so much for having me, Glenn.
- [71:04]
Stu Burguiere
You bet. You're a mental health counselor, right? Stay at home mom, right? And you have mental health background. So you had to be shocked that people in the school, your own people in your own field, just adopted this transgender ideology and ran with it like it was. Of course, that's what it is. Of course. This is all common knowledge. Were you as shocked as the rest of we, the rest of us were?
- [71:33]
January Littlejohn
Well, absolutely, Glenn and I, you have to remember, I think America has short term memory sometimes. This was back in 2020. We did not know this was happening. I was volunteer of the year at the middle school where they socially transitioned my daughter. And so I had no idea that not only had my field, the school system, the medical field, even our judicial branch, I had no idea I had been infiltrated by this radical ideology. And to clarify something, at the time of the social transition plan that they did with my daughter, without our knowledge or consent, she was identifying as non binary. And so her identity changed four times over two years. These kids like my daughter, they are confused and they are looking to the adults in their life to tell them the truth and help make sense of their confusion.
- [72:26]
Stu Burguiere
How did you finally, how did you find out?
- [72:30]
January Littlejohn
My daughter told me. We have a very close relationship. So my husband and I, we knew our daughter was struggling, but at that time, Abigail Schreier's book had not come out. So there was very little information about the social contagion that had been bubbling for a couple of years at that point.
- [72:48]
Stu Burguiere
I am so concerned about what has been done to our medical schools, what's been done to medicine just in the last five years. It is. It's very frightening. You get the new doctors buying into all of this stuff, thinking like this indoctrinated on this. You have a generation that of doctors that are really dangerous. Can we change that?
- [73:14]
January Littlejohn
Yeah, that's exactly right. And that's why the work that do no harm is so important, what they're doing, because we have to re educate, we have to root this ideology out of our institutions. Because the bottom line is the US Is now an outlier in how we are treating this mental health issue. This is a mental health issue, Glenn, that has been normalized, promoted, and even celebrated. My daughter was told she was brave, Glenn, and she wanted to cut her breast off at age 13. That is unfathomable what they were doing. And to be fair, it was very similar to when I used to treat clients with anorexia. There are so many parallels to the disassociation these girls feel and go through and the same type of disassociation with an eating disorder. It was heartbreaking and it felt like we were in the twilight zone because my husband and I were the only ones in our daughter's life trying to protect her from this irreversible medical pathway that this school put her on.
- [74:15]
Stu Burguiere
So what was it that. Because like when, when people had anorexia, when that was a really big thing, immediately everybody was like, it's the magazines, it's the TV shows, it's the, you know, the images that we're showing girls that is, that's unreasonable. And so there was, there was something that caused that this time. They just said, no, it's normal to feel that way when it was never normal to feel that way. It's normal to feel that way and let's go. What was the force behind that? How did that happen?
- [74:47]
January Littlejohn
Yeah, Glenn, you know, a lot of people think that this came out of the blue. That is just not the case. Dr. Ryan Anderson was trying to sound the Alarm back in 2018 for his book that was canceled when Harry became Sally. And he lays out how exactly this ideology infiltrated are institutions. But what you have to remember is when I was trained as a mental health profession, this was seen as a mental health issue. It was extraordinarily rare. And this notion of people having a gender identity that is separate from their sex, that they choose to be a boy, girl, neither or both, which is what is being taught to our children now, that was non existent. So this has all been laid out for our children if they are creating confusion where no previous confusion were to have occurred and this is not happening organically. So again we have to inoculate our children from this insidious ideology and the lies of gender identity itself.
- [75:46]
Stu Burguiere
No, doctors will say, experts will say, if your child comes home and says that, just embrace it because they're going to kill themselves if they don't, which is just the scariest thing. And as parents who never dealt with anything like this before, we just don't know what to do. We accept love on our children and make sure we have a relationship where they're talking to us. What do you do as a parent?
- [76:10]
January Littlejohn
Well, first and foremost you have to understand that that is a lie. There is no evidence. Even wpath doctors admit there is no evidence. Chase Stranglio admitted in front of the Supreme Court in the schematic oral hearing, there is no evidence these children will commit suicide if not immediately affirm or social or medically transition. In fact, the research shows, Glenn, that the vast majority of these kids will desist just like my daughter did. They will come to feel comfortable in the body they were born if you do not socially or medically transition them. Again, this is a mental health issue. And it is unbelievable that doctors were cutting the breast off of girls as young as 12 years old in our country and sterilizing children, many of whom had co occurring significant mental health issues, including autism.
- [77:01]
Stu Burguiere
I will, I will tell you that Trump has signed an executive order saying there are only two genders. Never thought that was necessary, but he said something last night that only half of the people applauded for. Democrats didn't applaud for this at all, which, you know, go back five years and that would have been in insane to not to not applaud. But look at how different we are just because of his election. Listen to what he said last night.
- [77:30]
Donald Trump
And our message to every child in America is that you are perfect exactly the way God made you.
- [77:39]
Stu Burguiere
That. What did that feel like to you when the President said that?
- [77:44]
January Littlejohn
It felt incredible. It felt like reality and sanity are returning to our great nation. And I am just so incredibly grateful to President Trump and his administration for the steps that they are taking. But we know these executive orders alone are a great start that will not end this war on our children.
- [78:03]
Stu Burguiere
Were you surprised when you got the call from the White House? How did that happen? How do you get invited to that?
- [78:10]
January Littlejohn
I was very surprised, Glenn. I am a stay at home mom. I literally went from being a door holder, just like I do every week, to getting on a plane to Washington D.C. and heading to the White House. It still feels a bit surreal. And, you know, to be honest, as exciting as it was, I was standing there not just on behalf of what my family went through, but on behalf of all families and the irreversible harm they have experienced because of this insidious ideology. So I felt the weight and the gravity because I still get calls weekly from parents waking up to this nightmare whose children have been captured weekly. And I'm sure you're aware, Glenn, we have states now that are taking children from loving parents. I know simply because they will not affirm this lie. So we are still in crisis in this country and President Trump and their administration are taking incredible steps, but we have much work to be done.
- [79:01]
Stu Burguiere
Do you have any faith that Congress will codify any of this? I mean, he's talking about criminalizing sex change operations on children, which, again, is insane that you would have to do that, but we do. But the more insane thing is I think that may not pass because of, you know, some people in Congress. I would Hope it would get every Republican vote, but it would probably not get a single Democrat vote. Is that going to happen, do you think?
- [79:30]
January Littlejohn
Well, if it. Well, if you saw the vote the other day, not one Democrat voted to protect girls sports. That is unacceptable. So what I think needs to happen is we have lawsuits that are working their way through the court system. And unfortunately, these things take time. My lawsuit against the school district is still in litigation. We're in the appeals phase. But what I think needs to happen is we need to get down to the merits of these interventions themselves, because even Scrametti at the Supreme Court is really just about states rights and do they have a constitutional right to restrict these interventions on children? We have to get to where we are arguing the actual merits of these interventions. And we know from evidence and systematic reviews that the risks far outweigh the benefits. Not that we need evidence to tell us that sterilizing children before they have the ability and maturity to consent to this is a bad idea.
- [80:23]
Stu Burguiere
You know, I'm sorry, I hate to bring this up again, but I'm fascinated when a regular person, because I felt. Felt this the first time I went to the White House. And every time I go to the White House, it's an. It's a surreal experience. You, when you got to Washington, they take you to the White House. Do you. All the people in the gallery that were invited, do you all meet and is it the first lady that welcomes you? What. What happens?
- [80:50]
January Littlejohn
So we did, and I'm sure you saw last night, there was such a diverse.
- [80:54]
Stu Burguiere
Yes.
- [80:54]
January Littlejohn
Amount of people from all walks of life, Lynn, and it was really incredible. And many of them had truly tragic stories. But I truly feel that God is using their pain for purpose, just like God did for my family. And it was a really amazing experience. You know that little boy DJ that the Democrats just were so ugly about, that little boy brought so much joy. And he hugged every single person he encountered. That is what the American spirit is about. His father could not have been more proud. And for the Democrats to say that that was somehow negative is just ridiculous. All they're doing is playing politics. It was a beautiful evening, and I was so proud to be there.
- [81:36]
Stu Burguiere
Mrs. Trump, the first lady, she plays a role in turning this around, doesn't she? Isn't she involved in this?
- [81:47]
January Littlejohn
Well, both her and the second lady, I had a chance to sit near both of them last night. That was an extraordinary honor I never thought I would have. And they were so kind down to earth. And you can just tell they love their families. This administration is all about restoring the American family, putting a family first agenda. And I could not be more happy and proud to be a part of that.
- [82:10]
Stu Burguiere
You know, we all have our role to play and some people, it's a bigger role than others, but everybody has a role to play. We're all born for a reason and we were born perfect with everything that we need, you know, from God to be able to accomplish those things. But it takes courage to stand up. And I can't, I can't thank you enough, January, for the, the courage that you and your family have shown and the grace that you have shown to stand up and change the world. Thank you, January.
- [82:45]
January Littlejohn
Well, thank you, Glenn. If I could just say, for any parents struggling with this issue, please go to our parent resource page, do no harm medicine.org you are not alone and there is hope you can parent your child on the other side of this confusion.

Feel the dark on every side. Stand your ground when times get down. Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad that you're here. Stephen Moore is going to join us. Stephen's a longtime friend of the program and really an economic powerhouse. He's worked for the president. He's disagreed with the president and he agrees with the president. Some other times he's a straight shooter. Tariffs, not something that I am in love with. I don't like them. I don't think Stephen does either. Stu does in his either. But I have been in a position of let's give the president the benefit of the doubt. Let's let him do what he's doing and see how it works out. The tariffs with Canada and Mexico, it's going to start hurting us because they slapped more tariffs on us. We're in kind of a little trade war now. And the president talked about it a bit last night. He talked about the farmers, which I want to to get into with Steven. But he also, and I don't know if anybody really heard this, it's going to be tough. We have tough times coming our way. We just have to keep stay the course. And it will get better, but it'll get worse. First, let's have Stephen Moore break this down for us next. First, let me tell you in 60 seconds about Patriot Mobile. I don't know if the left is ever going to get it, but America's done with the radical stuff going, you know, in our businesses, you know, being the feature and not the occasional bug in the system, it's over. When do they start to get that the American people are serious, that our values matter to us? I'll tell you when it happens, when it really hits their wallets and the big phone cell companies, they think they have you. Patriot Mobile is there they are on all of the cell towers, the same cell service you get from them, the same coverage you're going to get from Patriot Mobile. So they offer service of coverage that is exact what you have. Plus they don't send their money to all these woke institutions. And their customer service, in my opinion is better because it's entirely based here in the US Patriot Mobile. Go to Patriot Mobile right now. Call them at 972 Patriot.

- [91:17]
Stephen Moore
Hi. Glad. Never better.
- [91:19]
Stu Burguiere
Good.
- [91:20]
Stephen Moore
Stop smiling. After that speech last night, and I've been, I've lived through a lot of. Well, that wasn't really technically a State of the Union speech, but it was very much like one. And that was one of the superb speech. I think everybody's talking about the rude and obnoxious behavior of the Democrats. What a party that's become. I mean, when you and I first met, what, 30 years ago, I mean, there were a lot of centrist, common sense Democrats.
- [91:45]
Stu Burguiere
I was good friends with Joe Lieberman.
- [91:47]
Stephen Moore
Yeah, those people are. I'd be embarrassed to be part of that party. I mean, even, even when he said things that were not political, you know, that were just pro America, they just sat on her hands. And I was really so disappointed by that. But otherwise, what a great night. You saw the, The CBS poll, 76% approved of that speech and it was powerful. And so look, the guy's on a roll. I've worked for them now for eight years. You know, you asked me that tariffs. And I kind of feel like, who am I, even second guess this guy?
- [92:23]
Stu Burguiere
Right. That's the way I feel. That is honestly how I feel. I have my opinion. He has such a strong opinion on tariffs. And I think he's earned the right for people like me to say, you know what, try it, just try it. Because when he's trying things, they usually work. Is this one going to.
- [92:43]
Stephen Moore
Yeah, no question. By the way, solidize a little bit in the background. I'm at the airport, but I really wanted to come on your show, so. That's right. I mean, I kind of. And he's like really funny when I see Trump, you know, every couple months. I don't work for him now, but. But he is every once in a while seeks my advice and every time he sees more. He's a great economist, but he doesn't agree with Matt. Terrorists.
- [93:03]
Stu Burguiere
I know.
- [93:04]
Stephen Moore
He says that to me too. I know. But look, there's three kind of terrorists here. There's the, there's the kind of terrorists that are what you might call protectionist terrorists for, like, the steel industry, the aluminum industry, that. This industry, that industry, the chips. And I don't like those. I don't. I don't think they work. I think that the, you know, we tried the steel and aluminum tariffs in the first term, and look, Trump's heart is in the right place. He wants to help save, you know, these steel jobs, etc. The problem we found out from those, Glenn, and we have pretty good evidence of this. We did save about 3,000 steel jobs, but we lost, you know, 20,000 manufacturing jobs because the steel came more expensive with the tariffs. So, in other words, it was kind of counterproductive. And I don't, I don't think those really work. Now, the, the one country that I think we all, as Americans can agree on needs to be hit with tariffs is China. They are an enemy. They are an enemy. They're like China. I mean, they're like Japan circa 1936. You know, by the way, you know, you know, this. We sold to Japan in the 1930s the steel that they used to. For their bombs. So let's not make that mistake.
- [94:13]
Stu Burguiere
Right?
- [94:15]
Stephen Moore
And, you know, with respect to Canada and Mexico, that's where I'm a little uneasy, because Canada and Mexico are critically important allies. United States, I mean, when you think about it, all across the globe, we have to, we have to. Canada and Mexico are critical to us. We want to make sure Mexico doesn't go the way of Cuba. And the Canadians, you know, sometimes, you know, they drove us the wrong way, but. But they're good people. By the way, you're not Canadian, are you?
- [94:38]
Stu Burguiere
No, no, no. God forbid, even I'm. I'm hurt by that question. Let me ask you, because I, I want to know what his is.
- [94:48]
Stephen Moore
Funny, I asked that because I have a lot of friends who are Canadians, you know, and they're in the United States. It's almost like it's one big country. And maybe at the end of Trump's diocese, we will be one big country.
- [94:58]
Stu Burguiere
I, I feel bad for you that you have so many friends from Canada. Anyway, the, the thing I want to know from you is what is there something that he is trying to get, like the reciprocal tariffs? I love, I just love those. And, and he was trying to get them to be stronger on the border for Canada and Mexico, and I didn't have a problem with that. He says they aren't doing enough of it. I kind of like to know, is there A lie. Is there something he says that's enough? Is he trying to rebuild our industrial base and try to convince these companies that are building in Mexico or Canada to build in the United States? What is he doing? What does he want?
- [95:43]
Stephen Moore
Yeah. So you and I think alike on this. So here's the thing that I want to make sure people understand this loud and clear. And I think a lot of the, you know, foreign countries don't quite completely get this. There's only one country that really matters, the United States. I mean, we are the hub of the world economy and every other country is a spoke. So that gives us. And I've learned a lot from Trump just being around him. He is, Glenn, the single greatest negotiator I've ever met.
- [96:10]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, yeah. I mean, I think the guy's genius.
- [96:12]
Stephen Moore
He's a genius in that regard. And that's how he got rich. He's an incredible. And if you read his book, and that was written, what, 30 or 40 years ago, but it still is relevant today, it's called the Art of the Deal. And one of the things I learned from reading that book is if I'm negotiating with you, Brad, if we're negotiating a contract or something and I have leverage over you, I'm going to probably win that. I'm going to probably win that negotiation, right?
- [96:35]
Stu Burguiere
Correct.
- [96:36]
Stephen Moore
So leverage is everything when you're negotiating, well, guess what country has the most leverage in the world?
- [96:40]
Stu Burguiere
We do.
- [96:41]
Stephen Moore
We do. And, you know, do you think Joe Biden ever used our leverage? No, I don't.
- [96:47]
Stu Burguiere
I don't even think that other presidents on our side use the leverage that they should have.
- [96:53]
Stephen Moore
Yeah. And so what that means is that let's say, let's take China as an example, I believe as a free trader, that when we have free trade with China, we generally both, you know, they bring in a lot of cheap stuff and that, you know, that's good for American consumers. And we sell them things, but they're not playing by the rules. They cheat, they steal. They are predatory and they're. And they're dangerous. So we can say to them, look, you're going to do X, Y and Z, or we're going to slap you with a 30% tariff right now. They could say, well, we're going to slap you, but they can't do that. They can't win a tit for tat war with us because if we can't trade with them, it would hurt us. If they can't trade with us, they go into Great Depression and trump understands that and that's why he's so effective at using these threats of terror. Same thing with Mexico. And I, look, I love the Mexicans, I'm pro Mexico, but the Mexicans have to trade with the United States. They must. And so Trump is saying, if you want to have that access to the biggest consumer market in the world, you are going to help on the fentanyl crisis, you're going to help on the border, you're going to do the other things that they should do. Anyway.

Last night in the speech he talked about farmers and he spent a lot of time on farmers for, for that speech. He said, look, it's going to get harder on farmers before it gets easier. But trust me, just stay with me, it will get better. But you know, he was saying, you're going to, you know, you're going to have to plant baby plant. And I'm, I'm not sure that farming works like that that fast. I mean, you're now talking about it and you know, we're in what March planting season is coming very soon and to say, oh, we're going to lose, you know, all that money from China on soybeans. What do I plant? I mean, can the farmers turn that around that fast?
- [98:49]
Stephen Moore
I'm not an expert on the agriculture industry, but I will say this, that, you know, he wants us to be dominant in energy. Incidentally, we should also be. We, we can and should be dominant in minerals. You know, we just did a study of unleashed prosperity. We, we, you know, you know, what country in the world has the most minerals?
- [99:08]
Stu Burguiere
Probably us.
- [99:10]
Stephen Moore
We, the, we've got the mountains of Dakota, we got Utah, we got Colorado.
- [99:15]
Stu Burguiere
But we can't get them.
- [99:17]
Stephen Moore
I know. You know why? For the last 20 years, the radical environmentalists have not allowed us to mine. And that's why I'm a little frustrated even with Trump a little bit. We said, well, we got to get these precious minerals from Ukraine. Well, in the short term he's right. But let's, why would we do that when we have them in Montana? Why wouldn't we just go and why do we have to be dependent on China, Russia and Ukraine for our minerals? And we should become more self sufficient. We should not just do something that when you said plant, baby plant, because we are going to drill baby drill and we should mine, baby mine, we should use. There is no country in the world that has more abundant resources, Glenn, than we do. You know that. We've talked about this for 25 years, you and I.
- [100:01]
Stu Burguiere
He is, he is fascinating. To me, I don't know if people really understand how much he understands the singularity. And. And what is that? The singularity, the super AI, artificial superintelligence.
- [100:19]
Stephen Moore
All right?
- [100:20]
Stu Burguiere
And how close we are to that and how important that is, is, you know, all this talk about Rare earth minerals, etc. Etc. Bringing in the Taiwan company to make those super chips here in America, that is absolutely incredible needed, and they're the right people to do it. I think he's going to. I don't think people really, truly understand how strategic he is and how he is looking to build the America for tomorrow.
- [100:52]
Stephen Moore
Well said. And, you know, it's funny because people ask me all the time, you know, how are Reagan and Trump different and how are they the same? Because I did have the opportunity at the very tail end of the Reagan administration to meet Ronald Reagan. I'm very proud of that. By the way, I want them to put on my tombstone glass that I work for Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, the two greatest presidents of modern times. Anyway, it's. Here's one thing. Think about this. Gone. Here's what I find really remarkably similar about Trump and Reagan. Well, there's two things. One is they both love people. They just love people. And Trump and Reagan both. Second thing, this is even more important. Both of them were always, always underestimated by their political opponents. And you remember Reagan. Oh, they laughed when Reagan ran for president. He's a great B actor from Hollywood. He can't be president electric. Same thing with Trump. They still think he's stupid. He's not stupid. The guy is brilliant.
- [101:45]
Stu Burguiere
He is.
- [101:46]
Stephen Moore
And so I agree with that. I mean, look, sometimes he does things that I think are dumb. And I do think a screw came loose a little bit after the 2020 election, where for about six months there, you know, you know, I didn't like his behavior, but he's back on his A game, and it is. It is something to behold. And I never been more seriously since the election day and since inauguration, I haven't been able to stop smiling.
- [102:10]
Liz Wheeler
Stephen, let's get into the really salacious content here and talk about washing machine tariff tariffs. This is an interesting example, I think, of the tariff strategy here. They put on a 20% tariff back in. Was it 2017? 2018, on incoming washing machines. Correct me if I'm wrong on the understanding of this, but basically, prices almost immediately went up by 20%, which is kind of what you'd expect. However, there was a laudable goal in mind, which was to bring jobs back to America. It does seem like a lot of Studies show about 1800 jobs in the washing machine industry were created by Samsung and other companies that moved business here. However, at a cost of $1.5 billion to consumers annually. That's a cost of $800,000 per job. And this is, isn't this really consistent through the literature on tariffs that this is kind of what plays out?
- [103:08]
Stephen Moore
Yeah. So one of the re, there's two reasons. Let me back up. Because it's very simple and this is really fundamental to economics. If Glenn, you and I trade together, you know, you trade something to me and I trade something to you, we are both by definition better off. Right. That's what, that's why trade is it, you know, if we all just made everything we okay.
- [103:29]
Stu Burguiere
That's why civilization is important.
- [103:31]
Stephen Moore
Exactly. You. So this goes back to not way even before Milton Friedman was one of my greatest, my favorite economists. But, but Adam Smith, and Adam Smith, in his great book the wealth of nations talked about this idea of comparative advantage. And I'm going to keep this really simple. Okay. So Brazil and Colombia have great coffee beans, right? The best coffee beans in the world. We have the best microchips. So it makes sense that we would buy our coffee beans from Brazil and we would sell them. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. And so that's, that's why trade is so important. I mean if Art Laffer, my, another one of my mentors were on, he'd say, you know, free trade is one of the pillars of prosperity when the freedom to trade makes everybody better off. But all Trump is saying was we, we want to, we want a level playing field here. We're the lowest tariff country. Did you know that, Glenn?
- [104:22]
Stu Burguiere
I didn't know that, but I, I would assume that we should, we should be, but I, I, I've never thought of it as is. Look, what you charge us, we'll charge you that way. It is again, free trade, just with the tariffs. But that's caused by you, you get rid of them. I get rid of them.
- [104:39]
Stephen Moore
Yeah, yeah. And I think in the end of the day, and this is my, you know, when I say my prayers at night, I hope this is the way it turns out. After two or three years of this Trump administration, I believe we will move more towards freer and fairer trade.
- [104:53]
Stu Burguiere
I hope so. Stephen, thank you very much. Appreciate it. From the Committee to Unleash Prosperity. He's the co founder, you can find him. Committee to unleash Prosperity.com. you can follow in on X at Stephen Moore, back in just a minute. It's been over a year now since the brutal attacks on October 7 and the war that followed it. You know when President Trump talked about bringing hostages home and the Democrats didn't applaud, I mean, hello, when he talked about Abby Gate, that was that horror show in Afghanistan. And he said, we just got the mastermind behind that. And he's kind coming here to face American justice. They didn't applaud for that. It's pretty monstrous. It really is. I don't know how else to explain it, but people are still in mourning the loss of the be children who were being held hostage in Gaza. They've finally returned the body of the mother, but they intentionally put the wrong body in there of some other woman. It's just horrible. Jews are our spiritual brothers and sisters. And the international fellowship of Christians and Jews is doing everything they can to make that bond between us even stronger. But they need your help to do it. Your gift today will provide critically needed aid to communities in the north and the south devastated by the ongoing war. A generous donation will deliver help to those in need. It's a time of great uncertainty all around, but in Israel, even more so. And the gift of hope is a real, true gift.

So I'm, I'm getting right at, right after the show, I'm, I'm, I'm getting to go and interview Kid Rock, which I, I am like, I'm like, I'm like in full fledged panic.
- [107:06]
Liz Wheeler
I really should be.
- [107:08]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I mean, full fledged.
- [107:09]
Liz Wheeler
You're not cool enough to talk to Kid Rock.
- [107:10]
Stu Burguiere
Exactly.
- [107:11]
Liz Wheeler
Yeah.
- [107:12]
Stu Burguiere
I feel, and this is true, I feel like I'm back in, I don't know, grade school, going to the lunchroom and I'm about to be beat up. I mean, I just, you know what I mean? I just, I feel like I, this.
- [107:25]
Liz Wheeler
Is, and I would say physical violence is possible. It's possible he could be so annoyed with you that you get punched in the face. I think that's possible.
- [107:34]
Stu Burguiere
So please tweet, you know, questions that I should ask kid that don't get me beat up at the end, please, because I'm just not cool enough. I've never been cool. I don't know how, I don't know how to be around Cool people. I've never been around cool people.
- [107:49]
Liz Wheeler
It's very true.
- [107:49]
Stephen Moore
True.
- [107:50]
Liz Wheeler
Your entire life has been that long.
- [107:53]
Stu Burguiere
And oddly, I'd like to point out that you are around me almost your entire life, so it's very fair.
- [108:00]
Liz Wheeler
But what I was gonna say is that you actually have found yourself in a lot of positions to be in the same room as cool people. Your career has put you in that position many, many times. Early on with a lot of big music stars and things of that nature. I mean, later on, you've had many bizarre interactions with big sports figures and actors and all sorts of really people that shouldn't hang out with you.
- [108:26]
Stu Burguiere
I never fit in.
- [108:27]
Liz Wheeler
No, no. It's always awkward. I didn't say. I just said there's. It's like, I like the idea that this sort of torture occurs pretty regularly for you.
- [108:37]
Stu Burguiere
I gotta tell you, I don't know who I met, but I think he was a. Maybe an Eagles players are a big.
- [108:44]
Liz Wheeler
Yes, they're big. Some of them are.
- [108:46]
Stu Burguiere
No. Is there a big Eagles player that is a big fan, outspoken of Donald Trump or. Donald Trump?
- [108:51]
Liz Wheeler
Definitely could be, yes.
- [108:52]
Glenn Beck
I don't know.
- [108:53]
Stu Burguiere
He was somebody. I don't know. He was a big deal. And everybody was like, you know who that is? I'm like, nope. But I had. I. You know, everybody's like, he's over talking to Glenn that what is happening. And what was happening was he said, can I put on the Darth Vader helmet? And I'm like, no, you can't. He's like, I'm just gonna put it on real quick. No, you can't. I was about to be beaten up right again in the lunch room.
- [109:22]
Liz Wheeler
And one of these times, they'll come through.
- [109:24]
Stu Burguiere
This is Glenn Beck. You're probably pretty smart when it comes to looking out for ways that cyber criminals can steal your information, your identity and your money.

Stu Burguiere
So we all know what Russian roulette is, but have you ever heard about Ukrainian roulette? No. So listen to me carefully. Dear friends, this is an amazing piece of audio that we're going to get to on tomorrow's program. But Last night, cut 11 with President Trump his opening statement. President Trump said some amazing things that felt really good to hear.
- [111:30]
Donald Trump
American administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska, among the largest in the world, where Japan, South Korea and other nations want to be our partner with investments of trillions.
- [111:46]
Stu Burguiere
And trillions of dollars. I don't know why we stopped that. Anyway, sorry, we've got some issues and technical. Please stand by. Anyway, he came out and he said it's unbelievable. America is back. And it just felt that way.
- [112:05]
Liz Wheeler
Seems like the, the audience thought that too. I mean the polls, everyone's, I think every guest on the show has mentioned the CBS poll today. 76%.
- [112:13]
Stu Burguiere
It's really so satisfying. Yeah.
- [112:16]
Liz Wheeler
I mean, I will say usually those polls typically don't work well for Republicans. Like they, you know, who won the debate. It's almost always Democrats, even when it's obvious Republicans won the debate. That was one of the reasons you knew Trump won the debate against Biden so easily because the polling actually showed he won it. Like even when you know if it's, if a Republican wins, it still usually shows the Democrats win those polls. That's kind of the same feeling I have with this one. And part of it, I, I think there's several factors. Can I let me run these by you real quick, Glenn, on this. So one, it is one of the first things people saw in that speech was Al Green disrupting it. And people hate that. They, yes, the hardcore super AOC fans will like it and Al Green will get lots of donations because of his, his quote unquote, bravery, standing up, resistance, blah, blah, blah. It will work for Al Green, but the incentives here are screwed up because it works against his party and it works for Donald Trump as well.
- [113:17]
Stu Burguiere
It does.
- [113:18]
Liz Wheeler
And so I think part of the reason is a lot of people probably watched the first 15 minutes of the speech and that's it. And they saw that and they were annoyed by him. So I think that's.
- [113:27]
Stu Burguiere
And they were annoyed. They're like, it's the same crap.
- [113:29]
Liz Wheeler
Just let it go. Come on, I want to hear what he's saying. I know you're wasting my time, right?
- [113:33]
Stu Burguiere
I feel that way on applause. Yeah, I, I hate the applause. I'd rather have the cut version with all the applause out because. I get it, I get it, I get it. Just please, I just want somebody to say, ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. Please save your applause till the end.
- [113:52]
Liz Wheeler
Yeah, you know, I would be, I would like the first line of that speech to be from the President being like, look, I got a lot to get through. Please don't applause. No applause. But I mean, you know, it's hard. It's a trapping of that thing. Secondarily another people are specul. You know, just like when we don't really want to watch the Biden State of the Union, maybe a lot of Democrats just didn't tune in. So the people, the group watching it were more Republican. Now CBS did this poll, they should be correcting for that. You know, I have not gone through their methodology, that poll, but that shouldn't be the factor. If it is the factor, it's a really sloppy job by cbs. The other thing though, I think is what you were getting at in that. Number one, it was pretty optimistic. It wasn't the American carnage speech from 2017. It was a really optimistic speech. As much as we, I think, as jaded media members get a little tired of like, oh, here's 19 people in the audience, we're gonna tell their stories. I do think that connects with people. A lot of those stories were really compelling, terrible and great, inspiring at the same time. Yeah, so. So I think it was, I think he did a good job, which was part of it. And also, like, I think the Democratic opposition, as it usually does, backfired.
- [115:07]
Stu Burguiere
So in a big way. Cuz this is one of the things that they're saying. That's what Al Green was talking about. He's like, you know, he didn't have a mandate. That's what he was shouting from the floor in Case you didn't hear, cuz I didn't know, nor did I care what he was saying. You don't have a mandate and I've got my cane and I'm gonna scream at the moon in a minute. But he said, you know, you don't have a mandate. This is something that the left is, is trying out, that there was no mandate. Listen to Stephen A. Smith as he schools the view on the mandate thing. And he's been going around with his cronies touting his so called landslide, landslide and blowout win. But he won the popular vote by 1.5%, one of the, the smallest ever. And he won the general election by less than 50%. So what kind of mandate is this, really? It is a mandate and I'm going to explain why. And I don't mind the question. But let me be very clear. I'm no supporter of Trump. I'm a supporter of truth and the facts. And here's the facts. The man won every swing state. He increased in terms of his vote, voter turnout in his favor from the standpoint of blacks, Latinos and young voters. He increased his numbers in that regard. From 2020, 89% of the counties shifted to the right. That's a mandate. We can sit up there and play around all we want to in 2020. They didn't, Trump didn't win the popular vote. He didn't win the electoral college vote. A matter of fact, the Republicans hadn't won the popular vote, if I remember correctly, since 2004, but they did this year. So 20 years after the. They last won a popular vote. They won the popular vote. They won the electoral college vote. The man won every swing state and on top of all, 89% of the counties shifted against. I don't understand how people can look at that and say there's no mandate, there's a mandate. Well, it's a different definition of a mandate, I guess. Well, it's my definition of a mandate. You know, you got to go with my definition. We're the view, we make up our own definitions for words.
- [117:07]
Liz Wheeler
I mean, I think two things could be true on this too. I think you can recognize that it was a relatively close election. It wasn't Reagan versus Mondale. That's not what it was. But it can still be a mandate. You know what he did shift all these demographic groups. He did. I think if I remember correctly, every single state shifted toward him. Now, that doesn't mean he won all the states, obviously, but the states shifted toward Republicans. So that's a big movement. I think a mandate is fair in this context. He did win every swing state. State again, those swing states weren't blowouts. It wasn't a 12 point victory in Michigan.
- [117:46]
Stu Burguiere
89% of the counties moved his way. And look, this is, you have to add one thing to this, and that is, that's after an eight year period of everyone with any kind of voice or power saying he's a criminal, he's a sex abuser or whatever, they could come up. That's all they said about him. And his support grows. Can you imagine if they would have just treated him like they treated Ronald Reagan, which they treated Ronald Reagan poorly. You know, he's stupid, he doesn't get it, he's old, blah, blah, blah. But they never did this. Nobody's ever gone through this. For that to move and him to grow and him to have the whole thing just kind of switch over. Win the popular vote, win the electoral College. That is a mandate.
- [118:37]
Liz Wheeler
I think that's totally fair. I think if you look at it, I think Biden won in 2020 in the popular vote by something like 4, 4.5%, something like that. And it moved to 1.5% towards Trump. It's a 6 point move in the current American system, which is pretty polarized when it comes to party. That is a massive shift. That is not a tiny little thing. And I think that, you know, I think that totally qualifies as a mandate. That doesn't mean it was. It wasn't a close election. Again, like Trump had to win one of those blue wall states. The biggest blowout of those blue wall states was 2%. I mean, we could have been stuck with Kamala Harris right now. That is not crazy. It was close. That being said, what he's done here, and I think, I think the way he did it, which was, as Stephen A. Smith points out, moving a lot of demographic groups that don't normally even consider Republicans as part of that large move toward him. I mean, I think it'd be silly to just deny it. They want to do that because they want to deny that anything happening is supported by anyone other than evil Nazis. But that's not the reality.
- [119:47]
Stu Burguiere
And it's not even Donald Trump. Trump. You know, you could say that some of that movement came because the Democrats are so out of step with reality.
- [119:57]
Liz Wheeler
Yeah, I think that's a big part of it.
- [119:58]
Stu Burguiere
People are like, I can't vote for the other side.
- [120:01]
Liz Wheeler
I think that's a huge part.
- [120:02]
Stu Burguiere
I think it's huge. And remember, we're talking about just doubling down on it again.
- [120:05]
Liz Wheeler
And we're talking about an election where we have, what, a two seat major now, two and a half seat majority in Congress. You know, it is, it's close, relatively close in the Senate. It, we are in a very divided time in government. And I don't mean that as far as everyone's polarized. I mean it's close. We are in a close period. And that's kind of one of the things that's been remarkable about this first six weeks. He's been able to get through a lot, maintain his popularity generally, even though we're in a situation that's that divided. And that's kind of one of the most impressive parts of the first six weeks.
- [120:42]
Stu Burguiere
Let me, let me show you again one of the reasons why I think he was so effective last night. He's not, he's, he's not vengeful. He's not making enemies lists. He's not, not doing anything like that. He's just speaking the truth. Listen to this. Where he's talking about Joe Biden and.
- [121:04]
Donald Trump
We have ended weaponized government where as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me. How did that work out? Not too good. Not too good.
- [121:21]
Stu Burguiere
That's fantastic. Fantastic. The other thing I think was so good and I want to play both of these on my sheet. It's cut 24. Trump lays out some of the waste Doge has discovered covered. I want to play this because I think the guy could be a comedian and a really good comedian. His timing is so incredibly good. His ad libs are hysterical. Listen to him talk about the waste.
- [121:53]
Donald Trump
Just listen to some of the appalling waste we have already identified. $22 billion from HHS to provide free housing and cars for, for illegal aliens. $45 million for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma. $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is. $8 million to promote LGBTQI plus in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of.
- [122:36]
Stu Burguiere
This is so.
- [122:37]
Donald Trump
$60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro Colombian empowerment in Central America.
- [122:45]
Stu Burguiere
Afro Colombian.
- [122:46]
Donald Trump
$8 million for making mice transgender. This is real. $32 million for a left wing propaganda operation in Moldova. $10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique. $20 million for the Arab Sesame street in the Middle East. It's a program. $20 million for a program. $1.9 billion to recently created Decarbonization of Homes committees headed up and we know she's involved just at the last moment. The money was passed over by a woman named Stacey Abrams. Have you ever heard of her?
- [123:35]
Stu Burguiere
I think they're going to investigate. I think she might go to jail.
- [123:38]
Donald Trump
A $3.5 million consulting contract for lavish fish monitoring. $1.5 billion for voter confidence in Liberia. $14 million for social cohesion in Mali. $59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms in New York City. He's a real estate developer. He's done very well. $250,000 to increase vegan local climate action innovation in Zambia. $42 million for social and behavior change in Uganda. Uganda. $14 million for improving public procurement in Serbia. $47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia. Asia is doing very well with learning. I don't know what we're doing. Should use it ourselves. And $101 million for DEI contracts at the Department of Education, the most ever paid. Nothing even like it under the Trump administration. All of these scams, and they're far worse. But I didn't think it was appropriate to talk about them.
- [124:54]
Stu Burguiere
It's. It was an amazing, amazing list that common sense ruled the night, including when he talked about the border. Listen to this.
- [125:09]
Donald Trump
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.
- [125:24]
Stu Burguiere
Unbelievable.
- [125:25]
Liz Wheeler
The listing quickly of all the different things went on and on and on and on and on. And it reminded me of, like, Family Guy. You know the cartoon Family Guy?
- [125:34]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [125:34]
Liz Wheeler
There's a place where there's a scene where there's a dead frog in his room, and he's trying to scoop it up and push it out the window with, like, a piece of cardboard. And every time he does it, the frog kind of flops off and keeps coming down, and it goes on and on and on. And after a while, it just becomes so funny because it's going on so long. And that's kind of how I felt in that moment. It was like he could have used three of those examples and made no. But he just beat it into your head. This is insanity, and it has to stop.
- [126:01]
Stu Burguiere
All right, let me talk about pain for a minute. Maybe it's a stiff back after a long day. The creaky knees from years of hard work, or the ache that just won't quit after a good workout. If you're one of the people that suffer from pain, it's frustrating. I know. Know. But here's the good news. There's something that can help. And I know because when I was going through terrible pain of my own on a daily basis, it helped me. In fact, it was the only thing that helped me. It's called Relief Factor, and I take it every day. Over a million people have tried Relief Factors Quick Start Kit just like I did. 70% of them are just like me. And they'll go on to order it month after month.
