So when your dad bought life insurance, he. He didn't have a computer. He had a pen, a kitchen table, and there was a guy in a suit who promised to get. I'll get you the best deal, Bob. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. I don't know. The point is, your dad didn't have a lot of options. He had sales pitches, his own wits, and a little bit of hope to rely on. And that was about it. You, on the other hand, live in a world where the entire market is just a few clips clicks away. And if you're not taking advantage of that, you're not getting the best deal. You're just.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Eric Swalwell is here and he said he's going to assemble a group of avengers for the Democrats. Oh, I've got the, ah, I've got the cast of characters for the Democratic Avengers. We'll get to that in just a minute. Also, I. I want to talk to you a little bit about Doogie Firestarter, MD, the woman who is now crying because dad set some people on fire. What? What's the problem? Donald Trump wants to send the whole family that are this here illegally, by the way, back to Egypt. But the Democrats, the Democrats don't like it. And Doogie, fire starter, she just wants to be a doctor and she plans of becoming a doctor and going to one of our universities so she can be a doctor. Oh, it's a sad, sad story. And we're gonna start with that in just a second. I'm not in a mood. I'm, you know, See, this is why I could never be president, because vaporization would be in my bag of tricks today, and I'm in one of those moods. So we'll start there in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Lear Capital. Every generation thinks it's gonna be the one that beats history every single time. This time it's different. No, it's not. Yeah, it is. Then history comes walking down the road with a ledger in one hand and a sledgehammer in the other and proceeds to level all of the. The foolish and the honest alike. Gold, though, gold has a different memory. It doesn't care who's president. Doesn't care what the Fed is promised or what the dollar Feels like in the morning. Is it strong? I feel strong. I'm the dollar. I feel strong. I don't know. I'm so weak right now. It just is. It's a measure of value that doesn't need anybody's permission. When you look around at where we're headed, the debt, the digital currencies, the global flailing, I don't know, I don't see a lot of safety in the system. You know, I see safety in something older, much, much older and something real intangible called gold. And Lear Capital will help people like you and me move a portion of our savings into physical gold and silver as a hedge. It's a shield, it's a statement. You don't go down with a paper ship. Don't wait. History is going to show up on our doorstep any day. Ding dong, I'm here. Don't be surprised by it. Polear Capital today, 800-957-Gold. 800 957-Gold. Get your free 4200 Gold report.

Glenn, how are you?

Glenn Beck
Oh my gosh, I am so sad this morning. Oh no, I'm so sad. I, I, yeah, I read a story in USA Today about a young woman full of promise, wide eyed, probably, you know, has an Instagram bio That says future Dr. Jean, dream chaser, coffee addict and how she's being deported today along with her family and she's heartbroken. She's heartbroken. And why is she heartbroken? Well, because America's cruel. Quite honestly, we've lost our compassion. America. Yeah, I, I don't know. I, I don't have a lot of compassion. You know, because her dad firebombed a Jewish family, you know, a Jewish, an old Jewish woman and other people and the skin was falling off of their legs, taken to the hospital. You know, I don't have a lot of compassion there. I don't. And I'm not one to say, hey, everybody has to pay for the sins of the father. But you know, when you're here illegally, you know, and Islamicism seems to be kind of like a family trait, you know, they get a whole family involved. Mom likes to, you know, strap explosives onto their children. You know, dad is already on tape going, Islam is more important than even my children. I wish they blow themselves up or something like that. I, I don't have a lot of sympathy for it. I want them out, you know, maybe that's just me, you know? Okay, so you set a few Jewish people on fire. Minor detail. I mean, who hasn't, you know, committed an act of terrorism before breakfast, you know? So let me just. Let me just recap this little Hallmark moment that you might have missed in Colorado. A man whose visa had expired not once, but twice. And not here on a work visa, on a. On a. On a tourist visa. He's here as a tourist, 2022. They come in as a whole family. We don't want to tour America. And then they stay. And then he starts, you know, filling bottles up with gasoline and stuffing rags in it. Okay. You know, when he overstays his visa, then he decides, you know, to do what all grateful immigrants would do when given a second, third, and fourth chance here in America. Throw Molotov cocktails at J people. You know, because nothing says, hey, thanks for your hospitality like arson. You know, a Holocaust survivor, she outlived aitz. Yeah, but she couldn't really outlive that. That little march there in Colorado. And now ICE has made this monstrous decision. You ready, ice? These monsters are thinking about sending the whole family back to Egypt. Well, not the whole family. I think we should keep dad here for a while. Maybe the rest of his life. Now, can you hear it? The tiny little violins? Yes. They're playing. They're not even American violins. They're Egyptian violins. Slightly out of tune, but the daughter says, I'm devastated because I was planning on attending a medical school here. I just want to be a doctor. Oh, that is heartbreaking. But you know what? America's loss is Egypt's gain. So, you know, and if your hospital is ever low on burn cream, she's going to know where to find it. You know, I'm sure she can spot, you know, wow, that's third degree burns. How do you know, Doctor? Well, dad was setting Jews on fire, so I'm pretty up to speed on that. Now, just to clarify something for those who are trying to square this circle. This isn't some random deportation. This isn't the ICE agents breaking into a third grade classroom and dragging away honor students. This is a man who's who. Who set people on fire, who brought his here, brought his family here as tourists, and they overstayed. And then while they were here as tourists, they decided to break the law even further. And, like, you know what? I'm going to apply for medical school. Yeah. So. I don't know. I don't think you. I don't think you get the second hole punch, you know, on your green card after you go full Hamas on the streets anywhere in America. You know, now, I saw some people on X, formerly known as the Ministry of Empathy, saying, we don't make a daughter pay for the father's sins. Really? Really? Because I don't know, what is it about white people? Let's see, I didn't own slaves. In fact, my great great grandparents fought for the freedom of slaves in America. And yet I'm still smeared with the sin of slavery. And nothing will ever wash me clean of that sin. So please don't preach to me about, we don't make the daughter pay for the father's sins. I know you're not even talking about my father. You're talking about my great, great, great grandfather, who I don't even know. And he didn't have any slaves. Oh, my gosh. Okay, so let me just play this out, okay? Play this out with me. So dad throws flaming bottles into a crowd, and the system says, yeah, I know you're here illegally, but you gotta stay. No, no, I don't think that's justice. I think that's more franchise opportunity for terrorism. So imagine, imagine your dad walks into a hospital and stabs the nurses, and your complaint is, but I was gonna intern there this summer. No hospital don't want me to intern there. It was because, oh, gosh, Doogie Fire Starter, Maryland. I feel bad for you. I do, I do. I am really not one for making the children pay for the father or the mother's problems. I'm not. But I'm sorry, you were here as a guest. You were here as a tourist.
- [13:23]
Linda McMahon
You already.
- [13:24]
Glenn Beck
You knew you were here as a tourist. Why are you applying for college? You're a tourist. You can't go to college here. I mean, I have sympathy. I am a dad. You know, I know this woman didn't throw the bomb. You know, but if we're letting people stay based on potential alone, you know, I got a long line of liberty loving Amish kids that might want to get into that doctor line. You know what I mean? Like to skip some of the paperwork. And here's the thing. The minute your dad made the conscious choice to, I don't know, recreate Crystal knock in Colorado, I think you voided the family's warranty. I think we're like, ah, you know what? That's not covered. You know, that's the moment the dream dies for you and your family. Not because of our cruelty, but because of his cruelty. I know that's a concept for people on the left. They're like, wait a minute, what? We're going to make all the white people pay for the sins they didn't do? But not this person. Whose dad. Whose dad. Where? They're still living together. Just set people on fire. And they're here illegally. We can't make that happen. And now we're expected to feel guilt because the aspiring doctor has to go to med school in Egypt. Egypt? Oh, in Egypt. Isn't that where, I mean, let's be honest. The most common first aid advice is don't say anything the government might hear. Look, America is many, many things, but it is not a country that, that hands out permanent residency to arsonists and their plus ones. Oh, arsonist, yes. I've got the plus one. No, no. You want opportunity. You want safety. Don't set people on fire. You know, you want your kids to, you know, have a brighter future. Don't come here illegally. Don't come here illegally as a tourist, then overstay your visa two times and then set people on fire. I know. It's not that complicated. It seems like a pretty easy rule. I've never had a problem keeping that rule. You know, don't set people on fire. Never had a problem with that one. You know, and I'm sure it's hard to leave. Sure, sure. But you want to be able to have your case heard by a federal judge because you're now claiming that you need asylum. Wait, asylum from Egypt? And you're Egyptian and you're Muslim. I mean, pretty staunch Muslim, I'm guessing. You know, more of a Islamist than just a Muslim. I'm pretty sure Islamists are really quite popular, you know, in the home of the Muslim Brotherhood. I'm just saying. I, I. What are you running from other Islamists? Oh, I know, I know. Gosh, in Egypt, they just love Jews so much that when you get back to Egypt, they're going to. Your father set Jews on fire and what, they won't throw you a parade? What exactly are you running from? Bull crap. Bull crap. You're not running from anything. Well, except for the truth and probably. Well, no, that woman that your dad set on fire, she was elderly, so she's probably not able to chase you. I don't even know if she could chase you or stop, drop and roll. She was pretty old. But thanks for bringing that to the streets of America. This is not cruelty. This is common sense, period. You know, if we don't draw a line after somebody lights a literal match, what exactly are we protecting here? So, to the daughter, goodbye, good luck. Don't let the door hit you on the big fat Egyptian ass on the way out. I'm sorry. And you know what? Next time you visit a country for a little vacation, you might want to make sure nobody in the family's packing some firebombs, you know? That'd be a good one. That'd be a good one. Come on, America, you're smarter than this. Don't fall it. I know you're not. I just can't take how many stupid people are around. I can't take it anymore. Can't do it. All right, More in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour, and that's leaffilter.

Stu Burguiere
You know, Glenn, I've heard a lot of people make the argument that these people are being deported because of this. Like, you know, you can't hold the children responsible for the crimes of their father. And I know that's something that you've talked about over the years as being one of the, I don't know, one of the foundational things in America, right? Like, it is one of the things that we changed that the world was not doing when the country was founded. And like, I think that's accurate. However, these people are getting deported not because their dad tried to burn a bunch of Jews in a park. They're getting deported because they overstayed their visas. That is why they're getting deported. They may be getting priority.
- [20:39]
Glenn Beck
They didn't know. They didn't know. Stu. She didn't know. She thought dad had all that taken care of.
- [20:44]
Stu Burguiere
I'm sure that is immaterial to the law. That's not how this works at all. When you come here, you are required to follow the laws. And the law they did not follow was the visa law. They overstayed the visa. They did not get the asylum they requested, nor should they have received it. I think quite clearly people who want to burn Jews to death are not being persecuted in Egypt. So all of this being said, that the reason that they are going to be deported. The question is the timeline on that everywhere.
- [21:22]
Glenn Beck
Like, if I. If I went to Egypt and I was, you know, I was trying to convert people from Islam to Christianity and I didn't know that it was against the law, and they chopped my head off. I mean, they would be like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. He wasn't aware of the laws, right?
- [21:40]
Stu Burguiere
No, it's not the way it works. You have to. Actually, that's not the way it works anywhere here as well.
- [21:46]
Glenn Beck
You.
- [21:47]
Stu Burguiere
Ignorance is not really a defense in these situations. So I just, I'm frustrated by this because I keep hearing this, like, as if we're saying they're also guilty. Like there's. The child is not guilty of murder. I don't. I mean, I. Attempted murder.
- [22:03]
Glenn Beck
You're exactly right. You're exactly right. And I didn't even get that far. I just, you know, you're here illegally. Your dad set some people on fire. You know, if you were, like, if you were as a. Oh, my gosh, I'm outraged, and I'm gonna dedicate my life helping Jew. You know, maybe I'd have some sympathy for. I'm still going to send you away, but I at least have some sympathy. You're crying tears because you can't go to medical school in the country where your father just set people on fire in the streets for being Jewish. I don't. I don't. I don't think I like. I don't think I like your bedside manner, Dr. Fireside Starter.
- [22:44]
Stu Burguiere
I just.
- [22:44]
Glenn Beck
I don't.
- [22:45]
Stu Burguiere
Dr. Firestarter. Yeah, I mean, there are determinations Made within the law all the time as to which people will be prioritized. The question is, did they commit a crime? And they did. They're here and they're not supposed to be. Bye bye. That is the basic function of what we're talking about here. If they were US Citizens, by the way, US Citizens have done crazy crap like this as well. And when they do it, we can't just deport them. Right? We can't because they didn't. We have to go through the normal process of the way things work. That is, we don't get to do that because it's not on the table. It is on the table. When you've already broken the law with our, with your immigration status. That's. That's how this works, you know, I.
- [23:32]
Glenn Beck
Mean, what is Egypt going to do with all the ticker tape if we don't send them back, you know, Because, I mean, they're going to have a parade for this family in Egypt. What could we possibly do? You know, we're going to be responsible for them not having a use for all that ticker tape they've been cutting up, you know, for the parade when they come home. I mean, I don't want to be responsible for that. Yeah, Agent might be mad.
- [23:57]
Stu Burguiere
That would be tragic.
- [23:59]
Glenn Beck
Oh, man, it's horrible, horrible, horrible. You know, I think we have enough mental illness in our country. I don't think we need to import any more mental illness, you know. Yeah, but what about white supremacy? That's the real, you know, those Christians. That's the real problem. Yeah, it seems like it. It really. It does really seem like it. So, hey, Swalwell has come up and said it's time to assemble a group of Democrat avengers. Okay, I've got a couple of suggestions for some Avenger characters. We'll do that next. This is Glenn Beck. I've had a lot of dogs over the years. Loved every single one of them. They're not pets. They're family. I know you feel the same way about your dog. When it comes to their food, most of us just settle. We're not even thinking kibble. Food has been cooked to death. It's stripped of all of its nutrients. It's preserved to survive on the store shelf because the government says it has to be on the store shelf without any kind of decay for two years. I mean, that's like feeding your child McDonald's every single day for every meal for their whole life. I don't know, you know, gee, their hair isn't quite so shiny. I'm surprised they have hair at this point. Rough greens is not a new dog food. It's a supplement you pour on top of the dog food. It's full of the stuff, kibble left out, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, real nutrition. You'll see it in their coat, their eyes, their energy, the way they move. Get a free Jumpstart trial bag for your dog today. Just cover the shipping. Go to ruffgreens ruffgreens.com use the promo code backruffgreens.com promo code back.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Glad that you're here. Well, I don't know if you've heard, Stu, but you better look out because the. The Democrats are now assembling their group of Avengers. Here's Eric Swalwell. Listen to this.
- [26:35]
Stu Burguiere
The future of the Democratic Party is going to be.
- [26:38]
Glenn Beck
You know, it's going to take some.
- [26:39]
Stu Burguiere
Of those people, now that's the future.
- [26:41]
Glenn Beck
To throw the old regime under the bus.
- [26:43]
Stu Burguiere
Well, and it's going to take like this Avengers, like model of Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, Robert Garcia, people that you'd not seen before, just step up. The leader is today, but the publicly perceived leader is Hakeem Jeffress. Right. Because he's got to make the case that we're winning the House. He's terrible. But that he's the leader of the party and he's got position only. Yeah, but he's. He's. The reason I don't trust guys like Hakeem is because he's so willing to.
- [27:11]
Glenn Beck
Still bend a knee to the old regime. He's not going to ever speak out against Chuck Schumer. He's never going to do that.
- [27:17]
Stu Burguiere
But I can. But he.
- [27:19]
Glenn Beck
You're not the leader. Oh, but you're a zero.
- [27:22]
Stu Burguiere
You're a giant zilch. No one cares about you. I.
- [27:26]
Glenn Beck
We only had you on the show because we couldn't get anyone else. I gotta. I gotta tell you, I mean, I love this idea of the Avengers, you know, the super team of Democrats. I mean, I think that's fantastic. Especially when they name all of. Which one would play Captain Chaos or Comrade Chaos? Which one? Which one would that be? We can redistribute everyone's superpowers equally, rendering all heroes equally mediocre. You Know, I wield the hammer and the sickle and a hammer and a sickle themed boomerang that always misses its target. It's great. It's great, it's great. Who would play that, I wonder? Gosh, I've just. I just. I mean, their outfits, though, would be great, wouldn't they? I mean, they. They have to have, you know, they have to have, I don't know, gender Bender Goliath, who is part of the superpower team, and, you know, I could change anybody's outfit in a. Into a fabulous but impractical costume at any given time. I can do it. I just look down the street, I'm like, I'm gonna change your outfit right now. Yeah. Shoot rainbow lasers that make people argue up pronouns for arg for hours and hours and hours on end. It's fantastic. I'm gonna demand that all bathrooms are replaced with gender neutral ball pits. Fight for a world. Fight for a world where every day is a mandatory costume parade. And that be cr. That's me. Course, my weakness is I can't resist stopping to fix my hair in any reflective surface. And that's kind of bad. But more parades. Oh, my God. These. That. No, it'd be good. That would be really, really, really good. Somebody's got to get on VO and on Google and make a short movie of the Democrat superheroes. I just think that would be. I think that would be good. It would be good. You know what? You know, their. Their weaknesses might be. You know, I get distracted by long manifestos, and all of them are long. And, you know, sometimes I fall asleep, you know, in my own speeches. But then comes Terror Titan. I summon the cloud of glittery smoke that causes confusion and mild irritation, and I can monologue for hours about disrupting the system without making any point and then stand up for all the terrorists that are here in the country. Cuz I'm. I'm a superhero champion. Chaos replacing all the traffic lights with disco balls. You know, and I'm gonna. And our national anthem is gonna only be played by a kazoo in every single sporting event where only transgender people can compete, because those are the real men or women or which. What a. You know what I'm saying? My gosh. Oh, I love it. I love it. They are so unbelievably clueless. By the way, Stu, I don't know if you know this, but I've. I'm gonna come clean. I am leaving the Democratic party and I'm gonna write a book about it.
- [30:32]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, wow.
- [30:33]
Glenn Beck
Really?
- [30:33]
Stu Burguiere
Officially?
- [30:34]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [30:34]
Stu Burguiere
You're out.
- [30:35]
Glenn Beck
Officially. Officially, I'm out of the Democratic Party, and I'm gonna write a book because. Because they lied to me this whole time. I didn't know. I didn't see it. They were lying this whole time, and my gosh, how did I not see it? I. I mean, they just made me look like a joke.
- [30:58]
Stu Burguiere
I love that story. I can't get enough of it. And now today, all of the former Biden aides who said nothing about her this entire time are all out, like, knives out, coming after her, which I just can't love enough. Every single thing we said for four years is now being backed up by Democratic sources. We should cherish this moment a little bit. It is fun.
- [31:28]
Glenn Beck
What is she leaving for? Did she say? I couldn't find that anywhere.
- [31:32]
Stu Burguiere
It's weird. I. The only thing that is indicated in what's been released so far is this is Corinne Jean Pierre we're talking about, by the way. I don't know if we've set that up, but Corinne, John and me. And me and Glenn. And Glenn is officially out also.
- [31:47]
Glenn Beck
I'm out, and I'm gonna write a book.
- [31:49]
Stu Burguiere
Like Corinne Jean Pierre, you only like women, so you're also lesbian. So you've come out in two different ways today. But the only thing that they. They mentioned in the report seemed to be that she was angry at the Democrats for abandoning and betraying Joe Biden, which is fascinating in a million different ways.
- [32:14]
Glenn Beck
She's actually standing by Joe Biden. She's like. She finds out, quote, air quotes here. She finds out now that the whole thing was a sham, and she's like, oh, you should still stand by him. I mean, not too close, because he smells like he just pooped his pants.
- [32:31]
Stu Burguiere
But, yeah, I think so. Again, we don't. We are. And I say this, we are literally judging a book by its cover at this point. So we don't know what the book actually says, but it does seem to indicate it was.
- [32:45]
Glenn Beck
Strangely, after it comes out, still, no one will know what it's.
- [32:50]
Stu Burguiere
I don't know. This is what I might read. I. I will. I want to hear every horrible word that comes out of her chat GPT mouth. In this particular book, all you have.

To do is say, go on to chat GPT and say, what would a book read? Like if Corinne Jean Pierre wrote a book, and it will write it, and it will probably be word for word, because she's not writing that book. No, she's not writing.
- [33:20]
Stu Burguiere
I can't imagine.
- [33:21]
Glenn Beck
I.
- [33:21]
Stu Burguiere
What would A book read? Like, from someone who can't read or write? I don't know. I mean, it's difficult to figure.
- [33:28]
Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh. Are you saying that because she's a lesbian or because she was super nice dressed or because she's black or why? Why are you saying that?
- [33:37]
Stu Burguiere
She's an idiot, that's why. She's an idiot, that's why I'm saying. Yeah, forgot about that.
- [33:43]
Glenn Beck
She was a complete, total idiot.
- [33:46]
Stu Burguiere
Yes, but I don't know if you saw this reporting, but it's fascinating to watch it because they are everything we said about her. She's incompetent. She makes more problems than she solves. How many times do we say, how does she have this job? This is insanity. And it's all in the reporting today. They all can admit it now because she's no longer a Democrat. It didn't matter that she was ruining the country. And the communication between the White House and the American people, that was not a concern for them at all. They're concerned now because she's not. She's no longer saying she's a Democrat. One of the quotes in the article is she has lost her only constituency party line. Democrats is such a good point. It's such a good line. But it's true. The only possible defense for her this entire time was you were defending every Democrat no matter what they did. It's the only defense because she was terrible at every single aspect of her job. And now the one thing she had, which was the D after her name is gone. And now people can finally tell the truth, apparently.
- [34:54]
Glenn Beck
You know, speaking of D's after your name. And I mean, D for dunce. The women of the View are really. I mean, they're just not the sharpest. First of all, Sonny Hosten's view on Elon Musk. I mean, can we play this, please?
- [35:13]
Toyota Advertiser
So really, he saved our country.
- [35:16]
Glenn Beck
Less than 1%, nothing. But the damage that he did was just really incredible. He slashed 250,000 federal employees, more than 8,500 contracts, more than 10,000 grants, and.
- [35:30]
Toyota Advertiser
His cutbacks on medical research cost the lives of the foreign aid, cost 300,000 lives, mostly children.
- [35:39]
Glenn Beck
That's the damage Elon Musk did. So show me that stat. Show me that stat. Show that to me. Cost the lives of 300,000, mostly children. Show that stat to me. I want the names. I want to know. I want to know the exact numbers, how they died. She said. She's like, I don't think anybody should be listening because he Kills children. No, that's not Elon Musk. Elon Musk is making children lots and lots and lots. He may replace all 300,000 children that you say died by when? Wednesday of next week. He's kind of constantly making children. Always.
- [36:22]
Stu Burguiere
It is the Elon Musk pastime. It seems that every other day we hear about more of them. So I don't.
- [36:28]
Glenn Beck
I mean, an Elon Musk commercial would be, oh, geez, time to make the children. He's always making.
- [36:37]
Linda McMahon
Always.
- [36:37]
Stu Burguiere
How good. I mean, geez. He's very concerned about population growth. I guarantee. It's interesting because if you happen to be listening on the radio or podcast, you can't see Sunny doing a Corinne John Pierre and reading every word of that. So as you point out, it's not just her making something up. It's not just her trying to remember something. She saw someone tweet, someone has given her the information that 300,000 people have been killed by this medical research that doesn't even seem to be cut in the bill that they're trying to pass, which is fascinating. I'm going to look, Glenn. I will see if I can find the source of it. There's got to be. I assume it's something, but I don't know.
- [37:23]
Glenn Beck
Okay. Now, the View went on to say that Elon has dirt on President Trump. Now, now listen to this. On the flip side, those Republicans, if you're in a House district, you're like, I'm afraid of Donald Trump. But Elon Musk, because of the dark money system we live in, he can come in and primary you by just pouring millions and millions into your race. Then there is that. Stop, stop, stop. How unbelievably rich is this? And when I say rich, I mean in a George Soros sort of way. They are now concerned about dark money, where somebody who is a billionaire can come in and just primary you. Does George Soros come to mind at all? Oh, my gosh, I can't take it. I just can't take it. But wait, there's more afraid of Donald Trump. But Elon Musk, because of the dark money system we live in, he can come in and primary you by just pouring millions and millions into your race. Then there is that.
- [38:23]
Linda McMahon
That, you know, if one was going.
- [38:25]
Glenn Beck
To think, you know, ooh, maybe this happened. You know, Elon knows the 411 on everything.
- [38:32]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [38:32]
Toyota Advertiser
He got all that information.
- [38:33]
Glenn Beck
He knows how all this came down. So now suddenly he's like, well, harrumph. So Trump should be afraid of him. I think Trump is, he has only seats on the election too. I think he is afraid. Well, 20.
- [38:50]
Toyota Advertiser
Stop.
- [38:51]
Glenn Beck
So now it's election conspiracy. Now Trump didn't win. Elon Musk may have well at least knows how Trump fixed the election. So election denier. Election denier. That is bad for our republic. It is. They're destroying the republic. They should be silenced. Election denying now from the ladies on the View and they're, they're saying that Elon Musk terrifies Donald Trump. Can I tell you something? The, and I mean this sincerely, I think the only thing that terrifies Trump is nuclear war. That's the only thing I have ever seen him talk about or respond to. That seems to really scare the crap out of him. And that is all out nuclear war. I don't think he's afraid of Elon Musk. You know, I just, I don't, I don't. But you know, they find the left finally has their dream come true. And I don't know who to believe on this. We're going to, we got to get into this next hour. We got to take a quick break but next hour we've got to get into the, you know, the big beautiful bill and what's really going on there because I don't know. I don't know. But I think there is one thing that is bigger than the big beautiful bill and it's being discussed along with the big beautiful bill and that one thing I think everybody needs to be very, very aware of. We'll talk about that top of next hour. Standby. First, let me tell you about freeborn over overturning Roe versus Wade wasn't the finish line. That was the starting gun because the push for abortion on demand hasn't slown, is slowed, it's actually grown. And while we've celebrated the hard won victory, they've been building infrastructure, building, you know, ballot initiatives, shaping culture in ways that don't make headlines but make a huge difference. If you care about life, this is your wake up call because the work isn't done, not by a long shot. Preborn is one of the few organizations that is in fighting every single day, day in, day out, in the quiet places where opinions haven't yet hardened. They provide free ultrasounds to women who haven't decided, who are leaning towards abortion but haven't decided. They're scared, they're alone, they feel pressured. Nobody in their life is supporting their possible choice of keeping the baby. But they're still open for themselves to see the truth. They want to see it. And when they see it and they hear the heartbeat, when they see that baby and hear the heartbeat, they're twice as likely to choose life for that child. But they still feel alone. They don't know how they can afford it. They don't know how they can do it. And this is where preborn steps in. If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way? Your tax deductible donation of $5,000 will sponsor the entire network in the country for 24 hours, helping rescue 200 babies just by providing the ultrasounds. To donate, just dial pound250.

You know, there's two things going on in Europe that I haven't heard anybody talk about that are just really terrifying that that happened yesterday. One is France and England looking like they're just going to declare a new state for Palestine. I don't know where, but they're going to do that. Looks like the UN is all going to be behind it. The EU will follow again, explain why that's going to happen, what it really means. And then on the other, on the other hand, looks like we're just seemingly not us itching for a war with Russia. There's the new coalition of the willing, not led by us, but again by England, France and all of the other people in Europe. I shouldn't say people, the leadership in Europe. The people are just being left behind. But we're closer to a true global war than any time in my life, lifetime, I think. Let me talk to you about our Spotlight sponsor. It's Ammo Squared. Ammo is a really strange thing. It's heavy, it's loud, it's expensive, and yet it sits quietly in a box until the worst day of your life comes a knocking. And most people think of ammo as a purchase. But the wise ones, the ones who've seen the unexpected unfold, we think of it more of as an investment in the future. It communicates to the world a posture of readiness because if you got what you need when everything goes sideways, well, you know, that kind of changes the whole equation, doesn't it? Certainly puts you in a better position than you might otherwise be in. And Ammo Square is built for that kind of thinking. They turn ammo into a monthly subscription, automatic. Set it up and forget about it. It's a way to build and stockpile that will actually grow in time. They store it for you. They can ship it to you when you need it. You can control everything from a dashboard that's easier to use than most banking apps. It's the easiest way to remain prepared and make sure you have ammo when you need it. Head to ammo squared.com take the work out of buying ammo. 100,000 members, including me and thousands of five star ratings can't be wrong. Ammo squared.com Sam the road where shadows hide Feel the dark on every side Stand your ground when times get dark 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 Lend Back Program. We're glad you're here. Well, the big beautiful bill, they're still talking about it is going to pass. It not going to pass. This is so frustrating because everybody is playing politics with this. I don't, I honestly don't know what to believe anymore. I'll just tell you what I do know in 60 seconds. Stand by. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Realestate Agents I Trust dot com. When my brother and I started Real Estate Agents, Agents I Trust, I don't know, 10, 15 years ago, it wasn't because we wanted to get into real estate, you know, it was because we had firsthand experience on how awful it was to find an agent that, that understood our values, listened to us, somebody we could trust, put our interests first, and, you know, knew the best practices. We didn't even know what the best practices were until I started working with the 500 Best Real Estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. I learned a lot from them. And we started going out looking for those kinds of people to augment this network. And we, we set out to build a network of agents who not only had a proven track record of success, but shared our commitment to integrity and to service. Agents that would treat you like family could understand, really, honestly, one of the things we do look for is somebody who is a fan of the show because we know then they will share your values and sensibilities and they will treat you like family, not like another transaction. Realestate agentsitrust.com. they work hard for you. We've done our hard work to vet these people. We vetted thousands of agents across the country to ensure they meet the highest standards. And when you work with one of our agents, you're going to know, you'll be confident you're getting somebody who will work tirelessly on your behalf and knows the best practices. So go to Real Estate Agents I Trust dot com. This is something I don't charge you for. We'll just recommend where you're. You just tell us where you're moving from and to, and we'll find the right real estate agent for you if we have one in your area.

Well, I mean, most of the coverage the last 24 hours has been that Elon Musk is tweeting about it an awful lot that seems to be the focus of the media at the moment and, you know, various lawmakers trying to wrangle Elon Musk and trying to get him to stop doing this. They don't want him to message this as this terrible bill because they. They want to keep him within the walls. They want him to be involved in the Republican Party and movement going forward. But they also feel like this is the best that they can do. I suppose the bill itself, it's going to be very hard to get this through. I mean, you have only 53 senators on the Republican side. We know basically for a fact that Rand Paul's a no under almost any circumstance. Right. So you're at 52. You can lose two more. We know Mike Lee has already kind of indicated he's not particularly in love with this bill. Several others have as well. So they're gonna have to make changes to probably get those people on board. When they do that, you're going to have the House, which only passed the bill by one vote and already has two members who did vote for it, who have said they now would vote against it, now that they actually know what's in it, which is another significant problem that maybe we should try to avoid in the future. You should probably read the bill before you actually vote for it, especially. And you don't even have to read the bill on this stuff because people were talking about it outwardly in the debate about the bill, the particular problems that these two representatives cited. But. So you're already under the amount of votes you need in the House before the changes. Several factions in the House are saying they will not vote for the bill if certain parts of it change, like the salt deduction that we've talked about before, where you get to deduct your local taxes in blue states, basically, for a very short description of it. So, I mean, look, Donald Trump does have a way of coming in and saying do it. And Republicans have a way of stepping up and saying, yes, sir. That's kind of the way the Republican Party works at this point.
- [51:40]
Glenn Beck
So.
- [51:41]
Stu Burguiere
So I think there's a good chance it still gets through eventually. But when you look at what the bill has, it has a lot of good, but it has an awful lot of bad in it as well.
- [51:50]
Glenn Beck
Okay, so can I just. Let me pick it up from there, Stu. That it has a lot of bad in it, has a lot of good in it. Here's the. Here's the thing that I don't think you're getting from anybody, really. You're not getting a balanced. Look, I understand both sides. I really do. I understand the urgency from the White House, and I think Russ votes going to be on with us in about an hour or next or tomorrow. It depends on what his schedule is like today. They're trying to squeeze him in today, but, you know, I trust him. He knows what's going on. And I understand the White House's point of view. I really do. I understand that if this doesn't pass, that means the tax cuts probably are not going to be permanent. They won't get them through. Without the tax cuts, the entire thing falls apart. Without regulation reform, the entire plan for the economy falls apart, okay? And Trump knows that. The White House knows that. The Democrats know this. They have to have this pass because of the good stuff in it. Now, the bad stuff that's in it, the biggest probably bad stuff is the debt ceiling being raised by another $4 trillion. That's really bad. That's really, really bad. Because we're not going to be able to continue to fund our country. If we can't, if we keep raising the debt and we can't sell our treasury bonds, we can't sell our debt to anybody because nobody believes us anymore that we're serious about cutting spending, then the entire thing falls apart. So damned if you do, damned if you don't. That's where we're at, okay? If we don't pass it, then the President's economic plans fall apart. If we do pass it, we run a very high risk of the rest of the world saying, you guys aren't serious about your debt and we can't buy your treasuries anymore. And that changes, you know, that changes everything. That one is not the fault of this administration. That one is the fault of every single Democrat and Republican since, since when I was first born, they have been talking about this. They've been talking about the debt and the deficit and everything else. We've been talking about our spending problem forever. And at some point, I mean, even FDR said this, at some point, this won't work. You'll have to stop it. Um, I remember Ronald Reagan saying, at some point, we're not going to have any good options left. Well, we're there. There are no good options. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Okay? This is what Ronald Reagan said was coming. We've known this forever as a nation. So I look at this and say, who do I bet on? Gosh, I mean, we're betting the future of our nation. We're betting the future of our children. We're betting the, you know, whether we're all slaves to debt or not. I don't hear a good solution on either side. I don't trust that the Republicans, I don't think they're serious about anything at all. There's a few people that are serious about the debt and really, I think, understand it. Rand Paul is one of. Mike Lee is another one. Chip Roy is one. But Chip is one that I think also really understands not just the dangers of the debt, but also the dangers to the economy. If we don't pass this bill, we've got to have the tax cuts. Have to. Or everything falls apart. So what do you do? Well, there is one thing here that really bothers me. I give the benefit of the doubt to Trump and the White House, and that scares me. It does not because I don't trust Donald Trump. I do trust Donald Trump, but the debt scares the hell out of me because it's real. And at some point, and I don't know if it's this $4 trillion debt ceiling raise or the next one, but at some point, the rest of the world's gonna walk away and go, so I give the benefit of the doubt. Pass the bill. Just pass the bill. Okay. That could end up being wrong. I'm not gonna tell you I'm right by any stretch of the imagination. I think this is something we all have to do our own homework and then prey on. I can't tell you what's right or what's wrong. Everybody, you know, you want somebody to do that, listen to Sean Hannity or somebody else, because I don't know. I don't know. Here's what I do know. Yesterday, Trump said the debt limit should be entirely scrapped. That is colossally a bad idea. A bad idea. And I can't give the President the benefit of the doubt on that one. No, if we scrap the debt ceiling and the debt limit, that means nobody ever has to pause. Now, he's right in this sense that everybody's using that debt ceiling as a weapon. So if you don't have to have the debt ceiling, then they can't say, you know what, we're going to default on our loans. If we don't spend all this money, we're never going to default. Okay, we're not going to default. We just going to have to live through austerity. We're just going to have to cut all of the programs and just pay the interest on our bills so we won't default. And if we do, we're even in more trouble than I thought. But if you take away the debt ceiling vote, then There is no restraint. And here's how the world will interpret this. There is one thing to say. I'm getting into a car and we're going to go down this canyon. And it's very, very curvy. You know, it's in one of those really dangerous canyons that just, you know, make. Make my butt clench. Every time you drive down these steep hills and canyons in, in the west where you're like, ah, we could drive over the edge and then we're dead. It's one thing to get into a car and say, yeah, the brakes are fine. I mean, it might be leaking a little bit, but the brakes are fine. And, and you get into the car and you're like, okay, I think we're okay. I think we're okay, and we have a chance of survival. And then another one, inviting people into the car and saying, no, you know, the brakes are fine. I mean, they're leaking a little bit, but the brakes are fine. Some people get in, some people don't. But if I got. Got you on the top of that canyon and I pulled up in my car and I'm like, hey, hop in. We're going to go down the canyon. By the way, I cut the brake lines, so there's really no chance of us stopping or even tapping on the brakes. Would you get into the car? That's what other countries and other, other sovereign funds and all of the big wealth management, that's the way they're going to look at us. If we have no debt ceiling, if we just like, yeah, we spend whatever we want, we don't have to talk about it anymore. You know, we, we just know that, you know, that's going to be okay. I'm not getting into that car. I'm not buying a single bond from you. You're completely irresponsible. And there's no tapping of the brake. There's no slowing the car down. It starts going down the hill, there's no slowing it down. It just crashes, period. That's what happens. Okay? We cannot scrap the debt limit. That will be the, that will be the death knell of America. It will be over. You will see the interest rates go through the roof because nobody's gonna, nobody's gonna want to buy our T bill. So we'll have to be able to offer them more money. Okay, we'll pay you 9%. Well, what is paying 9% interest? Just say 6%. 5%. What does it mean if we have to pay 5% interest on $40 trillion? Nothing good we won't be able to afford it. We will all be paying our taxes just to pay that debt. That's the bomb that's about to go off, okay? And that's why people who are, quote, fiscal hawks that I happen to agree with are saying we've got to cut more out of the budget. We have to. Because it might be this $4 trillion debt ceiling raise that kills us. The world is so close to just saying screw America. And they want to say screw America as soon as they're ready with their alternate version of whatever it is, Bitcoin, a CBDC for central banks, you know, bricks. Whatever it is, as soon as they're ready, they are going to cut us loose. So we're facing that. Let's just not hasten that. And here's why. The President is. The president has never in his whole life had a problem with debt. And in some ways, he's right. If you have debt and you're not really working hard, you're not doing the smart things, but you have all this potential and all this talent, but you're not doing anything. Debt's a problem because how are you going to pay for it? You know, when you're not making even the minimum debt payment, you're just adding more debt, you're in real trouble. However, you know, you're a deadbeat and you're like, you know what? I'm going to go to school, I'm going to become a doctor, I'm going to become a brain surgeon. And you have the ability to do that. You know, I'm going to be a brain surgeon and you know, some Nobel Prize winning scientist on energy because I'm going to invent a new kind of energy. You have no problem with the debt you have. You keep piling on debt, debt. Go ahead, take, you want to go to Harvard, good luck with that, but go to Harvard and pile that debt on because you will be able to pay that off with what you're going to make in the future. But right now, we're the deadbeats. We're not doing anything to make more money. And you know this in your own life, you have to be able to make more money. You have debt, you either have to refinance and if it's at a higher interest rate, that could be a problem. You have to pay it off or you just have to default and say, you know what, chapter 11, I am out. Well, we can't file chapter 11. We can't do that. We can't default. The world won't allow us to. So what do we do? We either cut our debt and our deficit and we get our spending way under control, or we get another job and we reinvent. That's why Donald Trump is letting these, these AI companies build their own nuclear power plants. We don't have the money to, to build them. They're going to have to build them. You want to build them, you build them. I'll clear the red tape, but I'm not paying for them. You build them because you're going to be using the energy for AI. So go ahead, you build the power plants. That's a way for us not to dig ourselves into a hole and allow us to be in a position to where we can reinvent the world and reinvent the way the world works and be first on the scene so we can pay this debt off because we now have another job. Does this make sense? But there's one problem with all of this, and that is we're spending so much money now. And what are we spending it on? I'll finish that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor this half hour is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. You know, what's going on right now in the world is just really terrifying. And if you've ever read the Old Testament, I mean really read it, you know the story that Israel is not about geography, it's about a covenant, it's about a struggle, it's about a people who have endured more than most of us could ever begin to understand. And right now, that struggle isn't just in the history books. It's real and it's happening again. There are rockets in the sky, families huddled in shelters. Wait until I tell you in a few minutes what's happening over in, in France and England. It's going to blow your mind when crisis hits. Whether it's a war or poverty or terror. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is already on the ground and they're getting aid to the elderly, the Holocaust survivors, the children who haven't seen a normal day in months. These are Christians standing with Israel, not just in prayer, but in action. And your gift of only $45 will support their life saving work by helping provide food, shelter, and so much more. Bible says I'm going to bless those who bless you. Supporting IFCJ is a spiritual stand. It's showing up for God's people when it counts. So please call 888-488-IFCJ. 888488 IFCJ. Or go online at IFCJ.org every dollar helps. Don't wait. Be the difference. Visit IFCJ.org or call 888-488-ICCJ 10 second station I.D. so the other problem that we have and why we can't cut, and this kills me to say this, one of the reasons why we can't cut so dramatically is because between federal, state and local, our GDP is 45% based on taxes on government, state, local and federal spending. That's half of our gdp. That's a crazy amount. That's a dangerous amount. So you start cutting all of these programs, you start cutting all of the, you know, super fast bullet train that we need in California. It's going to take us another 20 years. So give us some more money. You stop spending this money, that money dries up in our communities and people lose their jobs. So we have to be very careful on how we cut, how rapidly we cut. We don't want to cut too quickly until we replace it with growth. But how do you grow without cutting the budgets? I mean, we are in this really tough situation. That's why I say to you, I'm not going to tell you which way to go on it because I don't know. I don't know who do you trust? I don't know who has the right idea. I don't know. I think it's a combination of everybody. But I also know that there's nobody on the Democrat side. There's nobody on the Democrat side that's ready to go. You know what? I'm gonna do the responsible thing and I'm gonna cut. I'm gonna cut. They're not. So we're just negotiating with ourselves, as usual. And will the Republicans screw it up? Well, don't they always?

Glenn Beck
All right. I want to talk to you about something and tie some, some dots together that others aren't going to tie together for you. I hope I'm wrong on this, but I don't think I am. We are closer to a true global war than any time in least my lifetime, I believe. And if you think that's hyperbole, let me walk you through three things that are happening right now. And they're not in secret. They're not in back rooms. They're in broad daylight right in front of all of our eyes. And no one is really talking about it. First of all, last night, the US Embassy in Kiev, the US Embassy in Kiev issued a chilling message to American citizens still in Ukraine. It said, quote, be prepared to take cover. That's, that's the American Embassy's words. It's not a drill. It's not a policy review. They're urging people to find bomb shelters, stockpile food and water, and prepare for mass missile strikes. Why? Because Ukraine just launched one of its most aggressive operations yet, destroying the strategic bombers on Russian home soil. And Russia is going to respond. That crossed a line for Russia, and now Russia is preparing shock and awe in a response. They're not hiding it. They're promising it now. And for the first time in this conflict, it looks like the battlefield is about to spill far beyond Ukraine. That alone is enough to send tremors through the global order. But this is not all that's happening. At the exact same time yesterday, the governments of France and Britain, the two most symbolically loaded powers in Western Europe that are our allies, reportedly preparing to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state, which would effectively legitimize the government of Hamas and the broader rejectionist front against Israel. Okay, not after negotiations, not after hostages, not after peace. Unilaterally, France and England are going to recognize a new state for Palestine. Where is that state? We don't know. Jewish citizens are being targeted, hunted, set on fire in our own streets. In New York, Los Angeles, Boulder, Colorado, in England, in France, all over this is happening. This is the world turning upside down. So there's number two, the very nations that stood against Nazism in World War II and fascism now inching towards rewarding a terrorist regime and redefining century old alliances in the name of appeasement and political fashion. It hasn't worked out before, not going to work out well this time, but it gets worse. Three, Rather than pushing for de escalation with Russia, France and Britain are now doubling down on what they are calling a coalition of the willing. Not to end the war with Ukraine, but to win the war. They are actively now arming Ukraine with long range missiles capable of reaching into Russian territory. While Russian generals warn this will lead to a direct retaliation with NATO assets. So let's be very, very clear, when missiles start flying from NATO territory into Russian command post, what will come back will not be limited to the front lines. We are on the precipice of two converging wars, one between Russia and another long simmering between Islamism and Western civilization. So the west will come under attack from Russia and its allies and the west will come under attack from, from Islamists. And Europe, which is the birthplace of democracy, the enlightenment of classical everything Christian heritage seems hell bent on feeding both fires at once. In particular, it is France and England. So let me ask you, how does this sound like a path to peace? It sounds like the first chapter in a book on civilizational collapse. And why, why are these decisions being made now? Well, you've got the socialist government that's out of control in France. You also have the socialist government that is out of control in England. And the ruling class in not just France and England, but all over Europe in the progressive movement here, they no longer believe in the pillars that held the west together. They believe the old world has to burn so the new world order can rise up. Now this is the economic forum mindset. It is also coincidentally the exact same mindset of those who are Islamists, especially those who are twelvers in Iran. Burn the world down so a new world order can begin. You've got the open borders, you have the central banks that are out of control. You have equity at the cost of Merit. You have censorship in the name of safety. You have deconstruction of the nation state in favor of what? A global technocracy. If the EU collapses, as it will when member states descend into civil unrest or economic ruin, so many people who are at the top of our countries will not see this as a tragedy. They will see this as an opportunity. They'll see it as a necessary breaking of the old guard so they can consolidate all power into a single European authority under emergency powers. Always temporary. It's always temporary, you know, and it's always for your safety until it's not temporary and it's not for your safety. And you realize way too late this is what's going to happen. You're going to destabilize certain countries in Europe. They're going to start to fall, it'll go into chaos, and the EU will say, you know, these nation states are beginning to fail. We've got to. We've got to make it bigger and we got to make it the EU and really give the power to the eu, just temporarily. And this isn't conjecture. This is the pattern of every revolution that promised utopias and then delivered tyranny. This is the way it happens. So what does it mean for you? Well, it's going to mean your energy prices are going to spike again, your food will cost more. If any of these things happen. And this is not even talking about our own debt crisis or the unrest in our own streets. God forbid that happens. It means your retirement savings, if you're lucky to have some, will face a new inflationary shock. But more than that, it may mean that your kids and my kids are going to be drafted into wars you didn't vote for, to fight for a world order you never agreed to. And spiritually, you got to get your house in order because you're going to have to stand for truth and tradition, and that is going to be labeled as subversion very soon. If you're asking how close to a war like any we've ever seen before, how close are we? I'd say we're already at the beginning of it. You just haven't heard the starter's gun yet. But when it does go off, it's not going to sound like a bomb in the distance. It's going to sound like chaos on your screens, lies in your newsfeed, disruptions in your bank account, fear in your neighbor's eyes. But you know this already. I think I'm just trying to give you the signpost of where we are so some Things that are. That are happening and happened last night that are very, very disturbing. I'm telling you this, too, so you can prepare yourself so you can be fully awake, so you can make decisions in your own life. I'm making huge decisions right now that will affect my life and my family's life right now. I'm. I'm about to take some serious risks on some things because I believe in them. I believe times are changing, and I'm being very, very cautious and careful, but not living in fear. You just have to be awake and know. You know, I'm a betting man. I don't like. I don't ever go to. I don't go to Vegas. But if I have to bet on something, I will bet on myself because I know what I'm capable of. I'm not. I. I'm not. I'm not sure what everybody else is capable of. I always, always overestimate the good things and underestimate the bad things with, with other people. But I can bet on myself. I just want to know the odds before I lay anything down on the table because I don't like Vegas. I know the house always wins, but when I have to bet on myself, I'm the house. House. I'm the house. And I'll roll those dice. I'll take those chances. But I want you to know, because it's important for me to know and my family to know what's coming. You know, I've been really good at looking over the horizon and seeing things. I don't know why I have this skill. I think it's a gift from God. I mean, I don't think I figure things out. I think he shows things to me. I know he does. But I've always been good at connecting dots that nobody else seems to be able to connect and seeing what's coming over the horizon. I just suck at timing. But as I see the things that are coming over the horizon. You know, we thought we won when we put Donald Trump in station. And we may have slow. We may have slowed the train down, but this train has already left the station. And you know where it stops? I don't know, but it already left the station. And, you know, if we don't do things, and I'm going to bring this up again, and I don't mean to sell you on this, because I don't. I'm not sure what to do, honestly. But if we don't do things like pass the big beautiful bill, or in this case, don't pass the Bit Whatever you decide, I don't know, I think pass it, it's only going to make things much, much, much, much worse and our demise quicker. And I've always been able to see over the horizon. But I will tell you, Stu, you remember I, I used to, you know, back in the 90s, I would tell you stuff about what was going to happen now. And you know, we kind of laughed about it because it seemed insane. But a lot of that has come true, right?
- [81:00]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, for sure. A lot of the stuff that you were worried about 10, 20 years ago are kind of facts of life these days.
- [81:06]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And Even in the 90s, when we were talking about AI, I mean, it's shocking to me that it's here now. I can't tell you what the world is going to look like in 2030. That's. That's not normal for me. I'm usually pretty good at seeing the over the horizon and going, this is going to play this way and it's probably going to go this way. And I might be wrong on timing and stuff, but the general direction, I can't tell you what the world looks like in 2030. So it's, it's, you know, I don't, I don't say these things to do anything but awaken you. Tell you you got to get serious. You got to secure your family. You have to know your neighbors. You have to lear, learn our history. You must build your faith, secure your own testimony. If you don't know God, you're just feasting off of somebody else. Yeah, I know God. Because you were taught, you know, you should believe in God. That's not going to be good enough. But most of all, you have to speak the truth. Even when it's dangerous. Maybe especially when it's dangerous, because that's when it matters the most. You can't save a civilization if we're afraid to defend the civilization or we don't know the principles of that civilization. So do all of those things to prepare for whatever is coming our way next. But I wanted to give you A quick, in 10 minutes, you know, the quick signpost of what has just happened in the last 24 hours. The kinds of things that are happening in our own country, but they're a little farther ahead on in Europe and the crazy, crazy things that France and England are currently talking about doing and probably are going to end up doing them because I don't know, I think they're crazy and I think they bought on to the whole world economic forum view of the future. All right, more in a second. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. In a world that is this loud, you'd think a phone company wouldn't matter that much, but it does. And every time you pay that bill, every time that money leaves your account, it goes somewhere. Maybe to a company that you know looks down their nose at your values. Maybe the one that funnels money into ideas that you never teach your children. Maybe to boardrooms where people like you are the punchline. Or it could go to Patriot Mobile. It's just a phone company. Yeah, but it's one that gives its profits, a lot of them, to causes you actually believe in, One that stands up for life and liberty and for the foundations that still hold this country up. And they do it proudly and faithfully and without fear or embarrassment of their convictions. They use the same cell towers as major carriers so your coverage doesn't change, but the impact does. So if you've ever felt like you don't have a say anymore, maybe start here. Maybe start with where your money goes. And maybe start small, but mean it. Make the switch today.

Welcome to the program. Hey, do we know, is Russ Vogue going to be able to make it next hour? Sarah, do we know that yet? Not yet. Okay. We, we got to talk about this big beautiful bill and I want to get the scoop from him and what, what he thinks. I mean, Stu, where do you stand on this thing?
- [86:37]
Stu Burguiere
I, you know, I think it's gonna, it creates a lot of long term problems. I do think there's elements of it that are pretty much necessary. I suppose I would say I think the solution, the correct solution is to make it less big and more beautiful, which is not going to be easy. But I think try, they're probably trying to.
- [86:56]
Glenn Beck
When you say less big, do, what would you take out of it?
- [87:01]
Stu Burguiere
Well, there's, I mean there's obviously there's tons of stuff that I have problems with the debt there. I think more cuts would be good, but like, I think focusing on the core elements of it, like for example, getting rid of the green New Deal spending and implementing the tax cuts, I think something like that would probably be pretty easy to get through. There's a lot of extra stuff in there that everybody sort of bought their ticket into a yes vote throughout Congress. And I think if you were to kind of just trim this down, I think the idea of the one gigantic bill that has every single priority that we want is a fun idea because you only need to get, get one vote. You only need to get it through once, but you may need to sacrifice some of those things that you wanted to get, get it over the finish line.

I know you're not listening into this show when you're sitting here with me. Why would you really?
- [92:29]
Stu Burguiere
No. Yeah. There's a new Miley Cyrus album out, so kind of deep into that one at this point.
- [92:34]
Glenn Beck
Is that. What is Cyrus? Wow. Wow. Listen to this story. Germany is bracing for a continued surge in major insolvencies through 2025 and 2026, according to a recent analysis by the credit insurer Alliance Trade. All this comes after a disastrous 2024, which saw a record breaking number of backstory bankruptcies in the country. They forecast an Overall increase of 11% of corporate bankruptcies in Germany. At first glance, they're saying, well, this is because, you know, Donald Trump and his trade organization's a bleak outlook in both Germany and in global trade and many of the uncertainties caused by the tariff storm. We expect major insolvency. Okay. But if you, if you look down and you start reading deeper into the story for Germany plans to cut 4,000 jobs as Berlin's economic disaster continues to unfold. The entire. This is for Germany. The entire automotive industry is in crisis all over the world. In Europe, and especially in Germany, the transition to electromobility is hitting us very, very hard. So is it the tariffs or is it all of this electrical bullcrap that they've been trying to jam down our throats in cars? I mean, look at Ford with the trucks. You think Ford's in trouble? Of course they are. They're not making the trucks. They've spent all of their money in these electric cars that nobody wants, and they are behind now in all of the orders for trucks. What do you think's gonna happen?
- [94:13]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, it's fascinating because, I mean, I have concerns over the tariffs and how they're gonna affect the auto industry and a bunch of other places.
- [94:20]
Glenn Beck
But.
- [94:20]
Stu Burguiere
But you can't make the argument that the current problems are that. I mean, most of these are in delay right now. The tariffs haven't even kicked in yet.
- [94:29]
Glenn Beck
I know, I know.
- [94:30]
Stu Burguiere
Much more germane to their problems are the electric car situation and the way that they've tried to force this down everybody's throats. And there's some electric cars that people like. Obviously Tesla is the main example of that. Right. I mean, that's the main example. Right. It's not to say that there's been no other successes. There's a Porsche and a high end that's been relatively successful with the Taycan, which is one example, but not many. Glenn. And one of the fascinating developments is a lot of these companies have tried this. It's not like they haven't tried to go down this road. Seriously. Ford did this electric Mustang thing. They're selling for $20,000 under MSRP, brand new. The same thing with the Challenger. Electric version. Now with the Challenger, you're talking about American muscle car. Right? They tried to come up with an electric version of that. Nobody wants it. They're sitting on lots. I have a friend who even bought a Tesla. He bought a Tesla a couple years ago, one of the nicer ones. It doesn't have a ton of miles on it. He was looking to trade into something larger. He has a car he wanted to do, an suv. They were offering him as a trade in value at like 20% of what he paid for it. Wow, 20%. This is a disaster, frankly, for people, because they just don't want these things. It's not. It's not working.
- [96:06]
Glenn Beck
What happens to. When our country needs electricity and you're, you're. We're there and you got electric cars, right? I mean, you've got Meta now build Meta building nuclear power plants. Okay? You have Microsoft building nuclear power plants. And, and that's because we are so far behind the eight ball. You look at our energy production compared to China's energy production. We are not going to be able to even be in the ball game with AI if we don't start producing more energy. And they're trying to sell us electric cars. AI is going to require 99% of the energy we currently produce. 99% of it is going to be needed for the server farms for AI by 2028. And you're building electric cars. How stupid are these people?
- [97:08]
Stu Burguiere
It's absolutely unbelievable. And you're right. We're at the point of kind of like the reverse issue of our debt, where the debt is. If you look at a chart, it's just sinking and sinking and sinking and sinking. Our need for electricity generation is increasing. And I don't know, I was looking at a chart, because this is what I do in my off time, look at charts. And one of them was the electricity generation of a lot of the major countries in the world. And you see United States, many European nations, all the industrialized countries are basically flat over the past 30 years, we are basically flat with how much electricity that we generate. And then you look at China's chart. China in this period was way behind us and is now so far ahead of us because so far ahead they're being honest with themselves, right? Yes, they do. They make all sorts of, you know, solar panels, many of those things they wind up shipping out to places like here and in Europe where we buy them.
- [98:18]
Glenn Beck
They're not using them.
- [98:19]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I mean, they are doing some of that stuff, but like they've also.
- [98:23]
Glenn Beck
Been building a coal plant. Every single week a new coal plant opens up in China.
- [98:28]
Stu Burguiere
And now they are far, far ahead of us when it comes to emissions totals. No politician that talks to us about global warming ever brings that up. They don't seem to care about it at all. They're much more concerned about whether we or even like a European nation is going to change their policies when it comes to emissions, which is going to make no difference at all. This is absurd at every single level. And I think anybody who looks at it honestly can see that it's good that at least something like AI is now beginning to awaken us to this problem where we're starting to take nuclear power generation seriously again. I mean, we're so far behind at this point, I don't know that we can be rescued by that. But at least we're looking at those options again and now avoiding the stupid environmentalists that stopped it.
- [99:19]
Glenn Beck
All of this time we have to build, I think it's 60 or 90 massive electricity generation plants like nuclear power plants in the next four years to remain competitive. We haven't built one since when, 1972. How is that going to happen? You know, you want to talk about an infrastructure program, that's the infrastructure we need. That's the infrastructure. Did you hear about the high speed rail in California?
- [99:54]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, I'm obsessed with this story. I've done multiple shows on this going back over a decade. It is possibly the greatest example of everything conservatives talk about that we could ever imagine they were going to spend. I think it was $13 billion was the initial estimate on a high speed rail that would bring you from San Francisco to LA in some really quick amount of time. And that's how they proposed it to the. I can't remember three hours. I don't you know the geography of California better than I.
- [100:31]
Glenn Beck
It had to be faster than that.
- [100:32]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, yeah, okay. Whatever it was, there was a time limit basically in the initial proposal, so they had to hit this. Now, of course, there's no way they were ever going to hit it anyway. But they didn't have any of the land. They didn't put it on a route that was like parallel to a highway. So with the clearance already done, they decided to kind of navigate it and jut it back and forth sometimes in the middle of people's farms to the point where they were building things where people couldn't get from their doorway to the street. They had parts of this line marked off as like wetlands, but like there was no water there. So they built giant bridges way up into the sky over these puddles that barely even existed. There certainly weren't wetlands. And of course they don't connect to anything because they don't have the land to get it from one side to the other. They're now looking at not 13 billion, but, but $100 billion to just get a little tiny section of it done. It's incredible.
- [101:47]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, okay, okay. So they wanted 463 miles. And if they spend a billion dollars a year and 100 billion total over the next 20 years, they'll have 171 miles of that rail system built, which is 463.
- [102:06]
Stu Burguiere
Not even close to the entire distance of 463. It is incredible. And the farmers are hilarious talking about this. They're like, some of these farms will just be cut off completely. Like they'd lose a quarter a corner of their farm. And they're just like, okay. And they take these. They're getting massive offers from the government to buy this land. And they're like, I don't even know what. They can't really say no because it's being done through eminent domains. So they're getting paid for this. And they all know there's never gonna be a train there. They know it, but there's nothing they can do. They're just victims of this. And you know, it is central to everything the government tries to do, which is, you know, why when you get into these programs, all of them get outta control, right? It's why the debt looks so bad. It's why these programs, you know, are. We can never seem to fix them.
- [103:02]
Glenn Beck
Right?
- [103:02]
Stu Burguiere
All these things are the same story.
- [103:05]
Glenn Beck
Can I ask you, Stu? I mean, if you look at that train, the way they built it in California, it goes from one crappy city to another crappy city, but you can get there quickly. And then I heard Chicago, they're proposing a new high speed rail and it's gonna go from Chicago to St. Louis. From one crappy city to another crappy city. Why don't they build them in cities that people like to go to? You know what I mean?
- [103:35]
Stu Burguiere
Chicago and St. Louis are great. I mean, you know, I will say this. You don't need to make any more trains. That's my policy right now, basically. No more trains.
- [103:47]
Glenn Beck
Really?
- [103:47]
Stu Burguiere
We don't need any more trains.
- [103:49]
Glenn Beck
No more trains.
- [103:49]
Stu Burguiere
Now people will bring up. You want to build a private, privately constructed train, privately funded, completely. You want to give it a whirl? Give it a whirl. You can do that. You can do that and potentially fail. There are some areas when you're talking about long, higher speed, longer distance. There's one in Florida that people talk about that has had some success, potentially. I will say this. When they talk about the local rails, they never work. Never.
- [104:23]
Glenn Beck
And you're. Well, I rode one last week to a concert.
- [104:26]
Stu Burguiere
Okay? That doesn't mean it worked. That's not what. That's not how. They never pay for themselves. It's always fun.
- [104:32]
Glenn Beck
We have one in Dallas.
- [104:34]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, my God.
- [104:34]
Glenn Beck
We have one in Dallas that runs empty all the time. I don't think I've ever seen more than two people on that train. And that's usually, like, two people, like, in a week.
- [104:44]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [104:44]
Glenn Beck
You're like, whoa, were there two people in there or were they just cutouts? I'm not really sure.
- [104:50]
Stu Burguiere
Or they're.
- [104:50]
Glenn Beck
There's nobody that ever writes. Yeah.
- [104:52]
Stu Burguiere
One of the two.
- [104:52]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [104:53]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. The Dallas one is a monumental failure. And, by the way, almost exclusively paid for by people who don't ride it. Right? Like, that's not how we. Every single time someone rides that train, we pay. Like, I don't remember what it is. It's like an extra $5 every time someone gets on it.
- [105:12]
Glenn Beck
It's.
- [105:12]
Stu Burguiere
It's like the worst possible thing. And we're. And you know, it has every single dumb government policy attached to it. Like, you can take. It runs down right near where the Dallas Mavericks play. And I remember looking at it and trying. I wanted to take my son to a Mavs game, and I was like, ah, you know, driving is such a pain down there. Maybe I'll entertain this. Of course, it takes, even with the traffic, four times as long to make this journey. And then you get down there and it runs, and it stops running before the game ends. So you take the train there, but you can't take it home because it stopped running before the final buzzer sounds.
- [105:53]
Glenn Beck
You live on the street. You live on the street for the night. You take in a little culture. You sleep under a bridge My gosh, what's wrong with you? All right, back in just a second because we can take, we can't take trains. Maybe we can take airplanes which until you hear this, we've, we've covered the, the trains and the automobiles. Now the planes. Next. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor, this half hour is American Financing. Every month you pay the bills, you do what's right and yet somehow numbers never quite work. Prices keep climbing, your paycheck stretches thinner and the house you work so hard for feels, to feel like it's holding you hostage instead of holding you up. It's, it's, it's, it's incredibly easy right now to feel like you're under the gun when it comes to maintaining your financial house, let alone your house. House doesn't have to be that way. American Financing, they don't sell, they don't sell debt, they solve problems. You call, it's a real US based mortgage consultant will pick up the phone. There's no pressure, no special limited time offers. There's just a conversation between you and somebody who makes a salary. They're not making a bonus to sell you anything. It's just a salary based mortgage consultant. And you tell them where you stand, what you owe and they'll tell you what you could do differently. And then you decide maybe it's a wi fi or a refi that lowers your rate. Maybe it's a consolidation plan that puts you back in control. Maybe it's just the financial conversation that you've, you know, you feel like you've had to have for a long, long time, but you didn't feel like a sales pitch. Call them. You're not going to get a sales pitch. The call is free, the advice is real and the difference if you act on it could be life changing. Call American Financing at 8009-0624-4080-0906-24440. It's American Financing.net nmlsconsumeraccess.org APR for rates.

Stu Burguiere
In the five starts at 6.799 for well qualified borrowers. Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit cost Glenn. A couple more details on the train in California if you want them. Yeah, so good. The rail route cut some dairies and farms in half. It split houses from barns and bisected processing facilities. It turned some 100 year old roads into dead ends, stranding homeowners on inaccessible islands and forcing farmers and their equipment to go miles out of their way. Simply to work their own land. There are three district lagoons or retention ponds. The rail path now cuts two in half. Another is considered part of a wetland, which caused the rail authority to build a sky high viaduct over what looks like nothing. Rail construction has forced the lagoons to remain dry the past two years that coincided with the wet years, meaning no stored water and lots of pumping for area farmers. I mean, there's a hundred stories on this. And what's fascinating about this one in particular, Glenn, is we're now kind of at the Biden actually did have cognitive disabilities part of the story, right? Like everyone now, even on the left, is admitting that this is obviously not working. It is a catastrophe. But because it's in process, the wheels just keep on turning. They just keep churning. The money's there, people have been hired, they're told to keep going. And all these catastrophes and disasters and the way it's affected these communities just keep, they just keep rolling over them, even though everyone knows this train will never exist in the form that it was presented in.
- [109:42]
Glenn Beck
This is why you don't let government do these things. Because a private company would have gone out of business. They wouldn't have done it in the first place. Place, but if they would have done it, they would have gone out of business and then all of the pain stops for everybody. Do we have time? How much time do I have here, Sarah? Ah, shoot, I don't have time. We're gonna have to get to it tomorrow. Air Canada is celebrating Pride Month. And you know, just when I say, you know, you got to look to private companies, then you look at private companies who are just doing everything that government is telling them to do. The Pride Month flight crew on Air Canada would honestly, if they started doing this and I'm on that plane, I am standing up saying, could you please open the door? Please open the door. I got to get off this plane. I, I mean, where are your priorities, man? Are we gonna even land the plane in the right. I mean, I don't care what everybody who's having sex with who. I, I just want to know, is anybody on this plane qualified? Linda McMahon next. Glenn back. All right, our, our sponsor now for this half hour is a relief factor. Some people show their pain, others just get quieter. They move a little slower, they shift their weight when they stand. They learn to laugh without shifting their shoulders. I know that kind of pain, the kind that, you know, doesn't make a scene, it just makes life smaller. Relief factor is not a cure all. And it doesn't promise miracles. But for me, it was the first thing that actually helped. Helped. It was a simple natural supplement. Four key ingredients designed to work with our bodies to reduce the inflammation from the inside out. When I started taking it, I didn't think it would work at all. In fact, at first I didn't think it was working, but I was taking it because my wife told me I had to take it. I was very skeptical, but I'm telling you, within a few weeks I realized what it was doing for me. And it wasn't just, I wasn't just having a few good weeks. It was relief factor that was making the difference and I got my life back. If you're living with aches and pains, see how relief factor, a daily drug free supplement can help you feel and live better every single day. Give their three week quick start a try for only 19.95 in a few weeks, even days feel the difference relief factor can make. Reliefactor.com relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief. That's 800, the number four relief.

Glenn Beck
So we have secretary Linda McMahon on. She's secretary of Education. She taught, testified yesterday in front of the Senate Appropriations Committee on President Trump's 2026 budget. Last night we did a special on Blaze TV why Trump's war on Harvard is a major threat to elites. And there were two things that happened yesterday with the universities. That's one of the reasons I just, I love the administration. I mean, nobody's gonna, nobody's gonna stop these guys. But welcome to the program. Secretary McMahon, how are you?
- [112:56]
Linda McMahon
I'm terrific, Glenn. Thanks for having me on. It's really nice to be with you and your listeners today.
- [113:01]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, thank you. Thank you. So two things that happened just yesterday. First, with Columbia's Title 9 violation and a threat to their accreditation. And the second, President Trump halting new foreign student enrollment at Harvard. Can you, can you take me down the road of what happened yesterday?
- [113:21]
Linda McMahon
Well, with, you know, with Columbia, it really was, it was title six. So we're looking at civil rights.
- [113:26]
Glenn Beck
Oh, I'm sorry, Title six, you're right. Sorry.
- [113:29]
Linda McMahon
That, that's okay. So that's been one of the things that has been on the agenda for our talking to Harvard and as well as Columbia. You know, we just thought we can't allow these Title 6, you know, violations to continue. And there's this, you know, uproar in the media. They're always talking about that we are trying to infringe on freedom of speech. And I say, no, no, no, this is not that at all. This is not a freedom of speech violation. This is a civil rights. When students cannot feel safe on campuses, you know, then we have to take. We have to take action. And, you know, one of the things that I think what you might be addressing is that yesterday we sent a letter to the accreditor for Columbia that said that, you know, these. The Columbia is in violation of its, of title 6, and therefore you as an accreditor have to take very seriously your responsibility of looking as to whether or not this accreditation should still stand. And if they can no longer be accredited, then a lot of the students that are going there now, etcetera, would be impacted by that. So I think this is a. It's a serious matter to bring before Columbia, and I think they're going to be responsive. I hope they'll be responsive to it. You know, very quickly.
- [114:49]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. You know, I don't understand how Title 6 isn't understood by, you know, these liberal universities. I mean, everybody understood what JFK and RFK did when, you know, people were being harassed because of their skin color. But now it's suddenly okay. You know, if you harass a Jew for being a Jewish, that's suddenly okay. It is exactly the same thing that Martin Luther King was fighting for. And somehow or another, they're standing against what Martin Luther King believed in.
- [115:21]
Linda McMahon
Well, I agree. And so that's why the President has been so absolutely adamant. In fact, he campaigned on this and he certainly fulfilling his promise during the campaign, which was that he was not going to tolerate, you know, anti Semitism on these, especially in these elite college campuses, you know, where I do believe that a lot of the instigators are not necessarily students currently enrolled. I think a clear number of them are. But I also think they're outside agitators coming in, which is one of the reasons in our conversations with both Columbia and Harvard and others, is that we must, you know, prevent these protesters from being able to wear full masks or headdresses that cover their face and preempt your being able to identify who they are. And so I think there's not been a great deal of pushback on those requirements. Still, the universities want to make sure that any student who is wearing any particular kind of covering, as it's a religious or for health reasons, that those, you know, be allowed. But, you know, and it goes along, too, with what the president is saying now is that we also have to make sure we are vetting these students or asking these universities to vet these students more carefully who are coming in. And also the, you know, the professors they're hiring, what is their ideology? Now, this is, again, not trying to tell universities how to teach, but when Harvard, by its own stats, say that only 3% of its teaching faculty are conservative, I don't think there is the diversity of viewpoint which we would require, you know, of these major institutions. It just doesn't make sense.
- [117:12]
Glenn Beck
You know, there's also, I know you're looking into Berkeley and Harvard for their connection of to China and unreported funding from China. What do you know about that?
- [117:26]
Linda McMahon
Well, you know, it's already a statute on the books, section 117, that requires universities to report the amounts and the source of foreign funding. And so, you know, it's not just Harvard and Columbia. There are many universities across the country that are not up to speed in doing this. So it's one of the things that we are cracking down on to make sure that we do know the source of the funding. And so, you know, we're just getting all of these, all these ducks in a row to make sure that everyone is abiding by the law.
- [118:04]
Glenn Beck
Well, I will tell you, there's a disturbing story that came out yesterday about two Chinese scientists that were. Is it Michigan or Wisconsin? I can't remember. One of the universities.
- [118:15]
Linda McMahon
It was University of Michigan.
- [118:18]
Glenn Beck
Okay, tell the story. This is so disturbing.
- [118:22]
Linda McMahon
Well, it was, and I. And I didn't hear the full story, but what was listening to yesterday morning on the news was that it was discovered that one of the students in his backpack, what they showed on television were four Ziploc bags. And in each bag was this little bud of a fungus that could absolutely be introduced into agricultural crops with a blight, and it could destroy the crops. And then, of course, if you're ingesting some of these materials, we weren't sure exactly what kind of health ramifications we could have on our population. So this is the kind of thing when the President is saying we have to crack down and understand who these students are that are coming into our universities and how we're vetting them to know as much information as we can, because this is really dangerous stuff. I heard yesterday in a conversation with Secretary Brook Rollins, who was really talking about, you know, protecting our food crops in our country is not just because we feed the world, but it is because we have. It is A clearly part of our defense as well, to make sure we are safe as a nation.
- [119:34]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it's really disturbing when our universities are allowing these things to go on and they're so, they're already so hell bent against Western civilization and the United States and then they allow these, these poisonous cells to come in and stir up hatred for Israel, for Jews, for anybody. But then take money from one of our biggest enemies, China, and allow experiments to happen with a fungus that they smuggled in to do, to do this work. These two Chinese scientists come in, smuggle it in and the program is run by two other Chinese members. This is not, this is a recipe for real, real problems. How confident are you that, you know, your role in the administration and Donald Trump are just, you're not going to give up and you're going to win on these things?
- [120:38]
Linda McMahon
Well, we clearly are, you know, continuing to put measures in place. You know, the authority that I have at the Department of Education and that other agencies have, like hhs, like gsa, like doj, any of the agencies that provide federal funding to any of these universities that we do have the ability to withhold funding once we do our investigation and have our findings. And I'm very happy that, you know, we are doing that because we, you know, turning up. But I mean, this was such a clear violation yesterday with these two scientists and discovering, you know, this fungus in these Ziploc. If I was, if I recollect what I was watching on television, maybe it wasn't a Ziploc bag, but that's clearly what it looked like, that it was.
- [121:30]
Glenn Beck
It was wrapped in plastic. Yeah.
- [121:32]
Linda McMahon
And that they had them, had him in the, had him in his backpack. So, you know, came right through customs, you know, with everything. And so you wonder what would happen if that, you know, kind of exploded in his backpack. And I don't know any of the science behind that, but that's just, you know, taking a far fetched leap. But you just never know with this stuff. And I think the president looking again at, you know, blocking travel from a lot of these countries that we can't do thorough vetting on the people that are coming in I think is a correct measure to do. And we just have to keep looking at all these violations, you know, from these universities. And our heaviest hammer is in Title vi also, you know, in Title IX relative to allowing, you know, men and women sports. So we've got a couple here, here at the Department of Education, a couple of heavy hammers.
- [122:24]
Glenn Beck
Are you, are you still on a timeline here? Of shutting down the Department of Ed? I mean, is there some. Do we have an idea of if this is going to be happening, to transfer the education control back to the states and we're going to really shutter this thing or not?
- [122:40]
Linda McMahon
Well, we are currently now enjoying, you know, by district court. I think it's a district court that has said that we could not proceed any longer. Not only did it enjoin shutting down the president's executive order to shut down education, but it is enjoying some of the actions that we have taken. Even actually before I got here, which were reducing staff at the Department of Education, said that we now have to rehire all of those people. And it's just. It's a crazy kind of injunction. I believe we will prevail at the Supreme Court, but right now we can continue to think about programs, you know, and maybe think about planning relative to returning education to the states, but actual actions. We are paused at this particular moment due to this injunction.
- [123:35]
Glenn Beck
I mean, you came from the private sector yourself, maybe, you know, woman, I mean, you've gone from wwe to something even crazier in Washington. You don't need this job. Why are you doing it?
- [123:52]
Linda McMahon
Well, I know it's. It's kind of. It always sounds, you know, like the typical answer, but you'd like to give something back. I just think those of us who have been in the private sector or who have different levels of expertise to be helpful in our government and see a real need, need to step up and have service because, well, it's no different than the president. And I think he set, you know, an incredible example for the rest of us to follow. So if you. If you have the time and the skill set, and he's put trust, you know, in the cabinet officials that he's brought on to accomplish the goals that he has, that it's. I think it's a really big calling to be able to do that. And I'm honored to be here at the Department of Education and to serve in our government for the second time. I was honored to be at the Small Business Administration in his first term. So I'm happy to be back, to be able to do what I can and to lend whatever levels of expertise I have to this mission.
- [124:59]
Glenn Beck
Linda, it's good to talk to you. Thank you for everything you're doing. I appreciate it, and we wish you Godspeed and good luck on. On everything you're working on. Appreciate it.
- [125:06]
Linda McMahon
Thank you. Glenn. Nice to talk to you.
- [125:08]
Glenn Beck
You bet. Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon. All right, back in a Minute. Let me tell you about Burna. You know, I'm not a big fan of fear. Never have been. But I do believe in being ready. Because sometimes trouble doesn't, you know, kick down the door. Sometimes it just shows up at the park, on a walk, you know, on your driveway, you're stopping for gas, you know, you're alone and you don't have time to wish you had been prepared. Either did or you didn't. Prepare for whatever could happen. This is why I carry a burner launcher. It's why I got a burner launcher for each member of my family. I think they are so important. This is not a firearm. It doesn't require a permit. It's powerful. It launches high velocity projectiles filled with pepper and tear gas. Giving you a non lethal way to stop people right in their tracks. Without hesitation and without any regret. And you can be up to 60ft away from them. Their new compact launcher is even smaller, easy to carry. You know, whether, you know, in concealed, you know, in your belt or, you know, in your purse. If you happen to be a woman or I'm not judging. You can carry a Merse. Who am I to say? It's light, it's quick and gives you options in the moments that matter the most. It is a burner launcher. You don't have to be paranoid to be prepared. You just have to love life and, you know, do the right thing to defend your life and your family's life and the peace and safety around you all the time. Go to Burna by R N A.com use their retail store locator to find the nearest location offering live demonstrations including select Sportsman's Warehouse stores. It's Burna. You find the Burner retail stores and authorized Premier dealers. There you have it. The truth. Stripped down like a fence post in a prairie storm. Glenn Beck returns after this.

You know, every once in a while, it is important to stop and recognize when things happen that are out of the ordinary and maybe even positive. I know it's shocking to acknowledge that anything positive happens these days, but, but we are in a weird period here. I can't remember many times like this where suddenly everybody in the mainstream media and all Democrats seem to be acknowledging, acknowledging that everything we said over the past four years was true. And like you could say, there's many examples of times where, where conservatives have said things that have turned out to be true that is, of course, accurate. Usually, though, the Democrats in the mainstream media are not admitting it, though. They just keep fighting it and saying, oh, actually, if we just throw more money at that California train, it'll turn out well. We are at a weird stage and I think we should at least stop and smell the roses a little bit while we're here. Appreciate this a little bit. For example, today there's new reporting out that, that everyone in the White House, everyone in the media, everybody in Washington agreed with your assessment of the abilities of Karin Jean Pierre. Everybody knew, everybody knew she sucked the whole time they were saying she didn't know how to manage a team. She didn't know how to shape or deliver a message. She often created more problems than she solved. They said that she was out just for herself, trying to promote herself. She said at one point, the rumor is that she wanted to try to while she was doing the job at the White House, she wanted to also be on the View once a week. And she would have sucked at that too, because she's just absolutely terrible. So we'll talk more about that on Studios America tonight. Don't miss that on BlazeTV. And I'll be on with Megyn Kelly here in just a few seconds. Join us there if you can as well. Thanks so much.
