A
28 years. And we got a lot to say about that. Coming up, we're going to relive some of the best moments that'll take us about three minutes here in just a second. Also, we're going to, we're going to talk to you about the things that are going on. New head of the Fed. What does that mean? Also, the Donro doctrine is in full effect. There's a few updates. Looks like Panama has voided the contract with China, which means they're out of Panama. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said new sanctions on Cuba. They're gonna, they're the next on the hit parade. And the oil industry in Venezuela has now, according to the government of Venezuela is going to be re privatized, which is one of the best things that could happen for them. Iran, we're watching about strikes in Iran. The Melania film is out this weekend getting horrible reviews, which only makes me want to buy out a whole theater. I mean, of course they're going to review it and pan it like that. I mean, honestly, I might buy out a whole theater. Tim Walsh also said some amazing things we're going to get into here in just a minute. The Tim called Alex, I mean, Trump called Alex Preddy an agitator and perhaps an insurrectionist. We have to talk about that. Don Lemon was arrested about 40 minutes ago in Los Angeles. Looks like they couldn't get a judge. So they just went to a federal grand jury, swore out a complaint. Grand jury said, yes, it's valid. They arrested him. This is a, this is a scary, scary time, especially when you hear what Tim Wall said about Fort Sumter. We're going to get into all of that and also some really good news coming out of South Korea today. All of this and so much more in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Relief factor. You don't really realize how much energy, discomfort this steals until you really are just in pain all the time. And then you get some of it back. And it's not just about aches and pains. It's the mental load. Thinking ahead about the stairs, bracing yourself before you stand up, deciding whether something's worth it before you even try. For a lot of people, inflammation is behind all of that. A lifetime of hard work and then now inflammation. It's not necessarily just one big event. It's strain. Daily, over and over, adding up. Sometimes your body needs support. Relief Factor was created to support your body's response to inflammation using a unique combination of ingredients designed to work together. And the goal isn't a quick cover up, it's helping your body function more comfortably over time. So when people start feeling the difference, it shows up in practical ways. Getting through a day without Constantly thinking about how you feel. Make sure that you're the next one to get out of pain. Try relieffactor.com relieffactor.com 1, 800 the number for relief 1, 800 for relief relieffactor.com okay, well, let me start with some good news first. Let me start in, in South Korea. Do we have, we have Pastor Soon's chance on the phone with us. Chance. Hi, how are you? Are you in Korea now?
- [06:02]
C
Yes, I'm Korea now and I landed here two nights ago and I'm still jet lagged. But it has been a miraculous day today.
- [06:08]
A
So yeah, I'm so excited. Please, for anybody who doesn't know chances, Father, Pastor soon is one of the biggest pastors in South Korea. We have been talking about this for months. He went to jail like really, I think a couple of days before Charlie Kirk died or maybe the day a couple of days after. And it is South Korea is in real trouble. And this is important because it affects you, the American people. If we lose South Korea, we lose a lot. And China is really infiltrating South Korea. And, and it is changing South Korea and it is becoming a very hostile place first for Christians because they're the first to stand up. And chance, his father stood up and was just talking about school board elections and the state charged him with election interference. That is something that if you're ever charged with in Korea, you get like a fine. They put him in jail. He's been in jail for six months now and they wanted to put him in jail for years and they're now the head of South Korea said we can go in, in any church without a warrant. We can take the church property and sell it ourselves and not give it back to the church. I mean, it's really getting bad. But Donald Trump and J.D. vance paid attention and when they met with I think the prime minister right. In Washington a couple of weeks ago, JD Vance brought your father up and tell us the result. What's happening now?
- [07:43]
B
Yeah.
- [07:43]
C
So the court ruling has come out today, this morning at 10:10am and although my father has gotten sentenced to six month imprisonment, it was also a delay sentence suspended, which is also like a probation a year. So he got an immediate release. And it's my first time being able to hold my father's hand in four and a half months. And it's been a very, a lot of church members and our family crying and crying, being so thankful, grateful not only to God, but to Americans and also brothers and sisters in Christ around the world for Raising voices and to fight our fight as well. Because you guys are realizing this is not only about Korea, but also this is coming at your doors. So we are so grateful for all of you.
- [08:35]
A
I will tell you, I just love you and your brother's relationship with your dad. And I think your dad is a Dietrich Bonhoeffer. We are watching grow into that role in real time. And he has raised two unbelievably great sons. And I love your love for your father. So you've seen him. He's the last I talked to you, he could barely use his hands because of the conditions in the prison over there. I mean, it really does not sound like a, a western style prison. And the way he was treated over there. He's lost a lot of weight, but other than that, he's healthy and in good spirits.
- [09:20]
C
He's really healthy. In good spirit, but physically. So he hasn't told the public or the church members, but to us he has shown his back and also his, his hip. And it's the point, because the blisters. He had to sit down on a, of course, a very hard concrete floor and for hours or more than 12 hours a day. And there are blisters and it turned to form of rice cake almost. And his feet are not, he's not if his feel are numb because he had to sit down for a long time. So his back is, I guess, pressuring the lower body. And also his teeth are getting bad. So he's about to go to go see a dentist tomorrow morning, first thing. He wasn't able to chew on.
- [10:12]
A
Crazy. Yeah. So. Yeah, he wasn't able to chew on what?
- [10:17]
C
On one side of here?
- [10:20]
B
One side of his.
- [10:21]
C
Yeah, his teeth. So I guess he's gotten more muscle on the other side right now. But he's got, he's got to balance it up. He said he was, he was cheerfully joking about it. Although he broke our hearts.
- [10:36]
A
This is not something you expect from a western nation. I mean, this honestly sounds like, you know, the Soviet Union when I was a kid. Yeah.
- [10:46]
C
There's no betting. So there was just one very. Yeah, just one blanket and that's it.
- [10:56]
A
Tell me about. Because I think that this is great, but the minute this administration stops looking away at your father, stops looking at Korea, this, this comes right back with a vengeance. So one of the things that we've talked about is you need a, a Christian school or church to adopt your school or church in Korea and make it kind of an expanded campus, a second campus. Right. Because that will protect you Guys.
- [11:29]
C
Yes, Glenn, thank you so much for bringing this up. Because my father has been praying for 17 years and segregated church was able to establish a Christian school named Sekiro UNAM Christian Academy in 2024. And last year the state rejected the accreditation. So because of. Because the school wouldn't implement the WOK ideologies into the education curriculum. Because my father and segregate church believe that our future, our future leaders are the most important if not one of them. And if it gets rejected again this year, which is most likely, it will be closing down. And we believe that if Seguru UNAM Tuition Academy can be operated as a US school campus branch in South Korea because the Korean regime, if there is one thing that they're afraid of, would be the US So they wouldn't be able to attack or be vengeance against the US entity or property. So we believe that that will be helping out tremendously for the school situation.
- [12:37]
A
So if you are a Christian school and you think that there's a chance that you might want to just kind of adopt this school, it will be a great blessing to the Christians in Korea. How do people contact you, Chance?
- [12:56]
C
Either contact me on X, anyone can message me and either X or Instagram as well at Chance Son1226. So yeah, we need, we just need one school. So.
- [13:10]
A
Okay.
- [13:11]
C
Thank you so much, Glenn.
- [13:11]
A
Thank you. I'm so happy for you. Thank you. Say hi to your father for me, William. Tell them we're praying for us.
- [13:17]
C
He's actually, I told him about him one of the first things and he's very appreciated, Appreciate it because he was going to write, write your letter inside the prison and. Yeah, thank you so much, Glenn, and all the viewers and listeners. I really appreciate it. It has made a big impact on this case and Koreans are very, very appreciated for this. Thank you.
- [13:41]
A
Thank you. Appreciate it. Bye bye. Chance told me that his father was going to write me a letter in prison, but his hands were so broken from the four months. I mean, what, what kind of prison is that over there? I mean that, that, that's. That's nuts. It. Korea is going. South Korea is going to full authoritarian. I mean, the pastor may be the first guy to ever try to escape South Korea by going across the border to North Korea. I mean, it's not good. It is not good. Let me give you a couple of other things quickly, Glenn.
- [14:18]
B
I just wanted to let you know that I was going to also write you a letter remembering our 28 years together. Hands didn't work though.
- [14:28]
A
Hands didn't work.
- [14:29]
B
Just like. Just like the South Korea situation. I mean, it's basically the same thing. So I. I apologize. Obviously. Would have loved to communicate.
- [14:36]
A
Tell you I was gonna buy you that. I was gonna buy you that Lotus too. And I just. I could not. For some reason, my hands just could not get the credit card out of my wallet. It was so weird. Well, it's weird.
- [14:47]
B
I did notice you did leave me a present here. Which is.
- [14:52]
A
Yeah, it's a box.
- [14:53]
B
It's a box.
- [14:54]
A
Stu's box.
- [14:54]
B
Stu's box. So I can collect my belongings and clear out immediately.
- [15:00]
A
It's Friday. You bring a box. You know what I mean? I just want to meet you in my office. Just bring a box. No big deal.
- [15:05]
B
You've been telling me that for 20 years.
- [15:07]
A
I want everything. Yeah, I know. I want. I want everything out. I want everything out. I. I want everything. I want every stupid little blanket you have in the studio. I want every little, you know, you know, hot water bottle that you've used to warm yourself, you know, all these years. I want it all out. All of it.
- [15:24]
B
All of it.
- [15:25]
A
It's like you. Like you never existed, Stu. Like you never exist.
- [15:28]
B
I need a bigger box.
- [15:29]
A
Boy, I got to tell you, if Stu and I stop joking within each other, we are going to. It's going to be a really bad breakdown. So please forgive us. We love each other, but this is the way we're going to deal with this. By hammering each other all day. So Tim Walsh came out and said that. Is this John Brown? Is this our Fort Sumter? Oh, wow. That's kind of an important thing. Insurrection comes to mind. I'll explain. Coming up in just a second. Standby. First, let me tell you about American financing. Ever, ever noticed how fast small extent expenses can get your attention? The big ones just sit there on autopilot. You know, you'll shop around for a better deal on car insurance. You'll cancel subscription to save a few bucks. But mortgage, the biggest bill you have often goes years without a second. Look, life changes, rates change. The goals change that in your life. But that loan you locked in, you know, years ago may not fit your situation right now. And that's where American financing can help. They work with homeowners to see if there is a smarter way to structure their loan. Maybe lowering your rate, maybe consolidating high interest debt, or maybe just adjusting the terms to match your life a little better. And their mortgage consultants are not salaried, not commission driven. So the focus is on what makes Sense for you, not what earns them a bonus. You can make big monthly expense work a little harder for you in that favor. I mean, would it be good to have it work in your favor, ease a little financial pressure, changing your, changing your situation every month so it's a little easier and there's no upfront fees. To find out if you qualify, just call American financing at 800-906-2444-080090-62440. It's American financing.net and MLS 182334 nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

10 seconds. Station ID. By the way, today is the last day you can watch@glenn beck.com all of this nonsense for free. Just see it all the behind the scenes, everything, including a fourth hour. Today. Pat and I are going to be doing a Q and A for Stu's last day fourth hour. And it'll happen right after this podcast live@glenn beck.com Also on studios America is YouTube and Glenn. Glenn Beck. YouTube, YouTube.com Glenn Beck, YouTube.com/stu does America, which, by the way, I've got to talk to you about this later. Stu, you got to get control of that. I mean, you know somebody is hacking you.
- [18:13]
B
Yeah, I noticed that.
- [18:14]
A
It's, it's, it's bad. It's bad. You got to get a hold of that.
- [18:17]
B
You're saying the YouTube description page. Yeah, I did. That is pretty bad. I wonder what's going on with.
- [18:21]
A
That is weird. Yeah, it's weird. You'll probably track that down someday. Let me play what Tim Walls has just said. Now I want you to listen. This is really important. What he said. Listen.
- [18:33]
D
And at this point in time, I told Tom, I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt, but unless I see a reduction in these folks on the streets, I'm gonna have to say that to my folks. So look, we all think, we all wanna avoid that, but I think the reality has sunk in this week.
- [18:47]
A
If you thought you could pass this.
- [18:48]
D
By and you thought there was nothing there, I mean, is, is this a Fort Sumter John Brown? Where, where are we at on this? And we're doing everything right. And I have said it time and.
- [18:57]
A
Time again, the way you win this is. Stop, Stop. We're doing everything right. Is this a Fort Sumter John Brown moment? What is this? Okay, let me just For. For those who don't remember history because it was boring when you were taught Fort sumter happened in 1861, and that was South Carolina saying, get them the feds. Federal government had Fort Sumter. They used an organized force against the federal government and attacked Fort Sumter. That was the beginning of the Civil War. Okay, so when he says, is this a Fort Sumter moment? He's implicitly saying, this is the opening shot of an organized resistance against federal authority. That matters. Once you start talking about Fort Sumter, you're not talking about protest or dissent or civil resistance. You're talking about insurrection. And by the way, Tim, that puts you as a Confederate. I just didn't put you on the good side, the winning side. That makes you a Confederate. Then he follows that with, is this Fort Sumter? Is this a John Brown moment? John Brown. Now, because we're so historically illiterate, we think, oh, well, John Brown was an abolitionist. Yeah, he was an abolitionist that even Abraham Lincoln distanced himself from. He was an abolitionist, and he was morally. His moral conviction was everything that motivated him. But he was willing to use legal force. I mean, lethal force. He. He did not believe in the democratic or constitutional process anymore. Even the people who were abolitionists, even the northerners, were like John Brown. Holy cow. First, he was a hero, and then they realized this guy is out of control because he. He led raids and killings and he terrified people, even people on his own side. And all he did. Now listen to this. All that John Brown actually did in the end was accelerate the polarization, not reconciliation, polarization that was used as fire in the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln, not an apologist, distanced himself because John Brown was blood soaked. Okay? He became a symbol of what not to do. He was a. He's a warning sign, not a model.
- [21:26]
B
So when.
- [21:27]
A
When Waltz invokes John Brown, he's normalizing political violence. Violence is acceptable because it's righteous. History says otherwise. John Brown's violence didn't free the slaves. It didn't build consensus. It didn't strengthen the rule of law. It didn't protect any of the innocents. What it did was harden the size of the sides, legitimize retaliation, make any kind of compromise absolutely impossible. So there's the governor of Minnesota recasting federal law enforcement as an occupying enemy, elevating resistance over law, suggesting violence is historically justified. That's not civil rights rhetoric. That's pre Civil war rhetoric. And history's really clear. Pre Civil war sometimes will lead to civil war. This is the talk of an insurrectionist. Really dangerous. And by the way, Trump yesterday called Alex Preddy an agitator and perhaps an insurrectionist.
- [22:38]
B
Hmm.
- [22:41]
A
That's kind of important language as well. We'll have more on this. And also, we're going to recall when Tim Walsh called into the show. Called into the show.
- [22:52]
E
Oh, yeah.
- [22:53]
A
I think it was the. It was, it was the night of the first debate, wasn't it? Yeah. And. And he was very excited. And we recall that and so much more. Pat, Joe, Pat Gray joins us as well in just a couple of minutes right here on the Glenn Beck program. Stand by for. Rough greens. Dogs have a way of telling you when something's not quite right. Not with words. They just slow down a little bit. They sleep more. They begin to eat grass. You know, they're not eager to jump around and run like they used to. It's hard to miss the signs. But a lot of times we just go, ah, they're getting older. It can be what's missing from their diet. Dry kibble is processed food. And if you think our processed food is bad, imagine what's happening to our dogs. It's cooked at really high temperatures. It means everything that they really need that's alive and really good, that's all cooked out of there. That's why Ruff Greens is here. It's not a new dog food. It's a powder that you add to the food. You're already feeding your dog. The dog absolutely love it. They go nuts for it. Uno used to lick the bowl. I mean, one of my favorite sounds from Uno was the sound of the bowl hitting the side of the wall and his chain hitting the bowl. I knew he was happy when he was eating, which never happened before.

- [28:02]
A
I don't. I have no understanding. That's the best impression I ever.
- [28:10]
B
I've been working on for a while. Yeah, it's actually been in development for a while. Really thinking about it. I think I've nailed it.
- [28:16]
A
I think it, I mean, if all.
- [28:22]
B
Those phrases came out of his mouth tonight, would you know the difference? Any idea?
- [28:29]
A
We may have a very special guest after tonight's debate on tv. We, Tim Walls may have to stand by and come on the program tonight. So you don't want to miss that. I've been trolling on the only Time. This is the only time that Tim Walsh ever appeared on the program because Stu finished it and he was like, ow, my throat really hurts. And I'm like, sacrifice for comedy, man.
- [29:02]
B
It's amazing that I would ever leave a job that would pay me to do that. It doesn't make any sense at all. But, yeah, I like, blew my voice out after that. That.
- [29:12]
A
Their whole. The whole rest of the day, I. I think that might have not been the actual. What you were doing as much as the hate that came with.
- [29:20]
B
Yes, yes. It was the pure Tim Walls concentrated hatred that was associated with that particular voice. What a day.
- [29:29]
A
So. So, Stu, you are leaving, and you haven't announced to anybody yet what you're. What you're doing. So can you announce? Can you.

B
Yeah, we can talk about it. So, you know, it's been something. It's a little bit different than what we've been doing for the last 28 years together, but actually also close as well. Parts of the stuff that we've been doing here for a long time. One of my roles here in the program has kind of been chief data nerd guy who looks at the elections and tries to predict the outcomes to them and analyzes all that stuff. So I'm starting a new company that is revolving in the world of prediction markets. If you don't know what they are, they've kind of only become widespread over the past year or so. But basically, you can look and invest on whether anything is going to happen. Yes or no? A simple question. Will this happen or not? Yes or no. And you predict the outcome, and if you're correct, you can profit off of that information.
- [30:29]
A
Wait, wait, wait. So are you. Hold it just a second. Are you analyzing those sites or are you starting. Are you falling in with a mob?
- [30:40]
B
Look, if the mob has money they want to hand me for this operation, I'm interested. I'll listen to you. But no, this is like, you know, the company's going to be doing a few different things, but the one that's probably interesting to the audience is we're going to have a show. It's going to be called Predictable with Stubergear. You can go check it out now. It's@prredictableshow.com and, you know, there you go.
- [31:02]
A
By the way, I trademarked your name, so.
- [31:04]
B
Oh, so I can't even use my own name? Oh, wow. Thank you.
- [31:11]
A
I appreciate that.
- [31:12]
E
You've always been a helper, Glenn. That's really nice.
- [31:15]
H
I know.
- [31:15]
B
It's just a licensing fee. He'll let Me use it as I just pay him constantly.
- [31:21]
A
But hey, two can play the mob thing, okay?
- [31:24]
B
That's true. I could be shaken down with the best of them.
- [31:28]
A
That's right.
- [31:29]
B
But the show is going to analyze the news, the things that we talk about every day. Kind of a special focus on the elections, considering we're going into election time. And that's been something somewhat of an expertise of mine for a while. And we're to be talking about all these news events as they relate to these prediction markets. And, you know, I think it really gives, you know, the free market that we talk about all the time that makes the world a better place, that improves the world, that does so many amazing things can be applied here as sort of an engine to find the truth. The media is obviously going down the wrong road with this. They're incentivized to lie to you. They want you to go the total opposite direction. They're trying to move you to get to the right side of history all the time. I mean, we're in a time where a Supreme Court justice can't answer a question about what a woman is. They don't want to tell you the truth. And what I love about prediction markets, and it's a really unique thing with them, is you have to put your money where your mouth is. You're betting you're investing with your own real money. And people don't lie when that is on the line. They'll lie to you on television. They won't lie to you there.
- [32:42]
A
We've always thought this was the right thing. I mean, remember, DARPA did this right after 9, 11, and they said, we're going to go to the. The five eyes and to people who study terrorism, and we're going to let them invest in a kind of a stock market, if you will, of where do they think the most likely terrorist attacks are going to come from? How are they going to do it? And I. It was. It was stopped because everybody was like, that's an outrage. No, no, that is a very good way get people to put their money on where are the weaknesses? Where do they see things? I just think that is. That is the way to find out how people really feel. Yeah.
- [33:21]
B
And, you know, like, the elections are a really good example of this. Right. You know, you have the media telling you who they want to win. They're constantly pushing one way or the other. You've got the campaigns that are lying to you about whether they're going to win or not. You have. I mean, you also have a Lot of people who are telling you exactly what you want to hear about the election. Your guy's gonna win. Don't worry about it. I want what's actually going to happen. I want the truth. And these markets can really do damage in that world. They can cut through the punditry, which I really, really like in today's world. I think it's something, a really important additional layer that we don't have really in our coverage right now. So that is a big part of it. It's@prredictableshow.com Please go there. By the way, are going to, if you go there, put your email address in for free. You'll get a 2026 Senate preview. We're going to give you the kind of the outline as to what the Senate race is going to look like in 2026. Kind of a starting point for everyone to be able to understand what we are facing here in the next few months, which are going to be pretty intense. So go there, put your email address in. That's going to be part of it. Now, I also will say another interesting layer. Prediction markets aren't perfect. They don't always have the right answers. And that's good because when they have the wrong answers, you are able to profit off of this. And this is something that I have been doing behind the scenes on my own dime for a long time, over a decade now. Been using prediction markets myself. I've paid for a lot of vacations over the years because of it. And it's been really, really good. And I think it's a much more accessible way for people to. To invest. Right. Like you can go in and try to predict what a stock's going to do.
- [35:06]
A
It's a great invest. It's a great way to. It's gambling, Stu.
- [35:10]
B
It is not gambling, Glenn. I have gambling.
- [35:13]
D
I'm sorry.
- [35:13]
A
You know, you're right. You're right. It is not. It is legally not gambling.
- [35:18]
B
First of all, you are accurate. Secondly, I have gambled a decent amount in my life. I am not against gambling. I've gone to Vegas. I'll place a sports bet here. And there's. You know what happens when I do that, Glenn? I lose over and over and over again. I know. I really do think there's something different. It's not chance.
- [35:38]
A
This is not chance.
- [35:39]
B
People know this audience is obsessed with knowing what's going on in the world. They sit here and they listen to this stupid show and your nonsensical rantings just to get to one fact every once In a while. They love the country. They love the truth, and they know about these things. Like, if, you know, you know, your senator in your state and your state, he always folds on a big vote, and everyone's telling you he's gonna vote one way and you know he's gonna fold. We all say these things all the time. This guy is gonna fold. You go on the prediction market, you say, hey, there's an 80% chance he's voting one way. You know he's gonna fold on that. There's real opportunity there. You know, it's different than, like, you put money into a stock. What are you doing? You are trying to analyze what some Chinese supply chain is doing. What, you know, what is going on internally in the country. Internally, inside of the company. Is the CEO going to hook up with some random person at a Coldplay concert and blow the stock up? You have no idea what's going on with all this stuff. There's so many factors. This is, will something happen? Yes or no? That's what it is. And there's a definitive end to it. You can actually look at these things and do really well. I've been able to do really, really well, particularly on the elections. And that's gonna be kind of our main focus. What we're gonna look at culture and all these other things as well. Bring on, like, tons of the best traders in the world and the biggest experts to kind of get you to look for an edge trade here as well.
- [37:08]
A
Yeah, that makes sense. Not by the T A D A traders. Anyway. It's. It's. Of course it's predictable. This show, something like that.
- [37:19]
B
Predictableshow.com. thank you.
- [37:21]
A
And. And Stu is going to be joining us from time to time because there is a lot. I really believe in the prediction markets like this. I think that there is a lot of information to be. And when Stu told me this, I was prepared to go, don't go. Don't go. You fail at everything you try. Yeah.
- [37:35]
B
Thank you. Yep.
- [37:36]
A
Please just listen to me. And he told me, and I was. And I was like, you know, that is absolutely. That's. This is you is 100% you. It's still gonna fail like a miserable. But, you know, it's. It's absolutely what Stu should be doing. And I'm. I'm actually thrilled about it. So it's gonna be.
- [37:59]
E
You're not really leaving to sell facial cream? Because that's what I heard it was.
- [38:03]
B
A lot of people guessed that it was.
- [38:04]
E
I heard you and Bill O'Reilly were gonna sell facial cream.
- [38:07]
A
I will tell you. May I say this? This announcement has just changed in the last hour and a half because I know what he was doing beforehand. And now that Don Lemon has been arrested, he's like, well, now I can't go produce that show.
- [38:20]
B
So that was on the table. I considered it highly. Let me just hit one more time here, Glenn. It's predictable show dot com. Even if you don't care about prediction markets, the election analysis, you're going to get there, you're really going to love. So go there, sign up. You'll get that free report on the Senate. And then also, a lot of people were asking what's going on with Blaze tv. I'm going to be doing Studios America new episode on Monday. So, you know, if you want to hear me rant about everything I've been ranting about over the years, I will be over there on BlazeTV.
- [38:48]

A

B
Glenn's been very cool and very supportive about all of this. Okay, I'm done. I'm done. That's all I have to say about you.

So a lot of people think that being tired in the middle of the day is just part of being busy. You grab more coffee, you power through and you assume that's normal. But of course it's not. Your schedule is wearing down on you. Honestly, it's your body reacting to the food you're giving it. Usually when meals are heavy on quick carbs and low in the nutrients your body actually needs, blood sugar can spike and blood sugar can crash. And that rollercoaster does not just affect hunger, it affects energy and focus and even mood. You feel good for a little while and then suddenly you're dragging and wondering what happened. Health Code was created to help smooth that out. It's built around supporting metabolic health, which is really about keeping your internal fuel system more steady and more predictable. And the approach comes from Dr. Ben Bickman. You may know him. He's been in the news quite a bit lately. He's a metabolic researcher who studies how insulin and blood sugar regulation affect how we feel day to day. Health Code is a nutritionally complete meal shake. It's designed with that research in mind and it emphasizes protein and healthy fats, keeps the carbs really low, and it avoids the added sugar and supports metabolic, gut and brain health all at the same time. Instead of your meals pushing your body around, they start working with it and helping energy feel more consistent to feel the hunger kind of be a little less chaotic.

And over time, that tension just settles in and starts to feel normal, even though it shouldn't. What Chirp does is go straight to the source of that tension. Their wheel style back rollers are designed to target the muscles that run along your spine, the ones that really get tight and overworked and become stiff from daily life. You lie back, you roll slowly, and you let those muscles finally start to release. It's so satisfying. The design is smart and intentional. There's a groove down the center so you're never putting pressure on your own spine itself, just the muscle on either side. And with the multiple wheel sizes, you can control how deep the stretch goes, whether you want something gentle or more targeted. Simple tool, but it addresses the problems a lot of people have been living with for a lot of years.

Crank the game. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. It is Friday, January 30, 2026. This is the last day or the last weekend of free trial for glenn beck.com and a torch if you want to join us. And make sure you don't miss a single episode. Make sure you go there and sign up now. Glenn beck.com you can see all of the things that we're doing, including the fourth hour today. We're doing Q and A for Stu's last day. Today is Stu's last day. We'll talk about that here in a second. But first let me just recap some of the news that's going on. We have a new chairman of the Fed, Kevin Warshaw. He's, he's going to be, I mean, here's how the this works. The Fed gives the president a list, kind of like the mullahs in Iran, and says, you can pick one of these guys. And so the president was like, okay, I'll take that guy. So we got that guy and he'll be replacing the other guy. That was oh, so good. Anyway, we'll talk about that. Also the Donroe doctrine. A lot of things are happening in that. We may have a strike also on Iran. And Tim Walsh is in the news, as is Alex. Pretty more on that in Minnesota. But we'll pick all of this up here in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. Buying or selling a house is one of those things people do to maybe, maybe a handful of times in their life. And yet we expect ourselves to be experts at it. We watch a few shows, we scroll some listings, and we think, I got a handle on how all this works. Real estate markets are local, they're fast, and they're full of details that can cost you a lot of money if you miss them. That's why I tell people about real estate agents I trust. Real estate agents I trust.com is my company born out of frustration, not being able to know how to even vet a good real estate agent. How do I. How do I know who's going to be able to sell my house? I mean, real estate agents come in your house. You're like, can you tell my house? And they're like, yes, we can. Okay, you're hired. Really not a good idea. Sorry. I was doing my Tim Walsh impersonation right now. Real estate agents I Trust dot com. We have great real estate agents that are waiting to talk to you. I don't charge you anything for this service. Just meet them. You decide. It's real estate agentsitrust.com realestate agents I trust.com. so the staff has put together a little montage that none of us have heard yet. It just kind of looks back on all of the years that Stu has been on this program, some of the personal things and some of the funniest things on the. On the program. So roll the montage, please. Stu and I have been talking about my career and his career for at least two years. And Stu has for a long time wanted to, you know, do his own thing. And I appreciate that and I appreciate all of the many, many years I'm looking at your resume here. Then you went to the Glenn Beck program where you were the co host ep executive producer. Say hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stubbergear. Hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stubergear.
- [48:54]
B
Glenn, how are you this morning?
- [48:55]
A
Oh, I'm good. I'm good. Let me say hello to our executive producer. That is Stubergear. Hello, Stu. How are you?
- [49:02]
B
Glenn, how are you?
- [49:03]
A
I mean, Stu was there for the very first talk show I ever did. How old were you when we met?
- [49:09]
B
I was, let's see, 20.
- [49:12]
A
20 years old.
- [49:13]
I
Yeah.
- [49:14]
A
And what was your impression of me? Because you got to me at the end of my radio career or my, you know, top 40 radio career.
- [49:25]
B
I Mean, I grew up in Connecticut, so I knew you from your morning show at KC101, which is, you know, music station, the big station in my hometown, basically. And I knew, you know, Glenn and Pat in the morning. And this is an important lesson, I think, for people coming up, not only in broadcasting, but any industry, is find someone who's very talented, but at the very valley of their career, like the worst possible time. Because those people usually have good lessons, are talented, but also you can kind of glom onto them when they're at their lowest, and then you can convince them you were part of their success later on.
- [50:00]
A
Hello, Stu.
- [50:01]
B
How are you? Glenn?
- [50:05]
A
Hello, Stu.
- [50:07]
B
How are you? That's a great question, Glenn. No idea. That's my new position on that question. I have no freaking idea.
- [50:14]
A
And he has told me what he was, what he's planning on doing, and I actually think it's a really good idea. And so I fully support it. I'm just sad that it's going to bring you further away from me. Won't see each other every day, but hopefully you'll be bringing some of this stuff onto the show. And I've never worked with anybody more honest, more decent, and more loyal than you.
- [50:36]
B
You know, a big part of my job and my career has been trying to execute your vision, like what you want to do, what you think is the most important.
- [50:44]
A
I said this morning, I said, we were in this meeting and I said, gotta get Stu into a numbers costume. And, you know, I thought of this big foam thing where his face would be inside the number six or something.
- [50:55]
B
But did you stop and think at any time, why did I say, we gotta get Stu in a numbers costume?
- [51:01]
A
Stu is here to break down some numbers. He's the executive producer of the radio show. And Stu, I assume that the number two plays a role because last night, one didn't really stand for anything.
- [51:15]
B
You were very clear after the show that you wanted the number costume to make sense.
- [51:18]
A
There's just nobody better. As you live stats, Stu has the election by the numbers.
- [51:25]
B
Yeah. National polls, we're showing a definite tightening.
- [51:28]
A
Stu, you're a numbers guy.
- [51:31]
B
Yes, geek. I mean, I'm a poll geek.
- [51:33]
A
Yeah, you're a total geek. Stu's here to do the math.
- [51:36]
B
We also have some of the latest poll results that are in.
- [51:40]
A
What's the biggest fight we've ever had?
- [51:42]
B
I mean, there haven't been many.
- [51:44]
A
Isn't that what I said?
- [51:45]
B
That's what I just. I just quoted you.
- [51:47]
A
Is that what I just said? That's what I.
- [51:48]
B
When I said said like you said, that's what I was indicating. Yes, that you said it. That's why I said, like you said.
- [51:55]
A
Bring in your arms. Oh, I'll bring in my firearms too.
- [51:58]
B
I'm not trying to start a gun battle here. You seem to be a little on edge.
- [52:03]
A
You're wearing your most obnoxious Eagles sweatshirt. That's right. What's wrong with you? Still back in the Eagles.
- [52:10]
B
They're America's team. Yeah, you got a freaking Eagle. And I knew there was something special about what we were doing.
- [52:16]
F
JT Vet is weird. You don't know JK Vance is weird. I'm gonna say that tonight on the debate. JJ V is weird. I like balloons.
- [52:32]
A
We have Brittany on the phone. Hello, Brittany.
- [52:35]
B
Are you gonna shut the border down now?
- [52:37]
D
Let me ask you this. What about brunch?
- [52:39]
A
Thank you for being my friend, and thank you for being so loyal to me, and you have changed my life, and I've. I truly thank you for that. You quitter. And. So today, I mean, we're not really saying goodbye to Stu because, I mean, if history teaches us anything, it's a. Goodbyes with stews are more a little like intermissions. You know, he leaves, he fails. It's kind of a little more like, hey, we'll see after the snack bar situation. You know what I mean?
- [53:15]
B
I don't know where that's coming from.
- [53:17]
A
Stu. Stu started as an intern, which means at one point in his life, he fetched coffee and thought, you know, either I might. I might be able to do better than this. And to his credit, he did. He was producer, executive producer, head writer of the program, which is not really a career ladder ladder. That's more of, like, a hostile takeover, you know, conducted with sarcasm and impeccable timing. And he has been with me for 28 years, which is longer than most Hollywood marriages, longer than both of our marriages, longer than most governments last, longer than the average Eagles super bowl window, you know, and here we are. Here we are again. Castoo is leaving again. I just want to let. I mean, just let's be clear. He left this show once to start his own show, and it failed. And spectacularly.
- [54:15]
B
I mean, none of this is true.
- [54:16]
A
Failure is. The failure is real. I mean, it wasn't a dignified creative differences kind of failure. This was like, come crawling back like a Vietnam vet looking for his old platoon kind of failure, you know? And I welcome him back. I welcomed him back, because that's what family does. You know what I Mean, it was.
- [54:36]
B
Also the type of. Where I took over for you and left with higher ratings. Yeah, that's the type of failure it was. By the way, just so you're aware, right before.
- [54:46]
A
Please, I. Let me get this out or I'll cry. Right before syndication. Right before syndication. You know, the promised land. Stu almost left again, but this time he saved because, you know, he stayed because he was like, wow, that could make me a lot of money. And so he did stay. Which brings us to today, where Stu is leaving us one more time, somehow or another, convinced that this time will be different. Why? I don't know. Because this time he's doing a show about odds. Odds. Hosted by a man who has repeatedly bet against his own track record. You see what I'm saying here? A man who looks at a lifetime of date and says, yeah, but this time, I kind of feel lucky. I feel lucky. I really do. So. So we wish him all of the best on the feels like it. And by the way, no, no, I mean, I. I sincerely. I sincerely. Anyway, so he's leaving again. And. And one of Stu's superpowers, and this is honest, is not comedic timing. Although he's got the. Some of the best comedic timing. It's emotional sabotage timing. You know, you can guarantee if I share. I mean, the reason why I'm not sharing anything personal, spiritual, vulnerable, is because that's when Stu strikes.
- [56:08]
B
Okay?
- [56:09]
A
He's got this. I mean, not with a thoughtful question, not with empathy. Usually it's with a fat joke, sometimes brilliant, sometimes a little lazy, but it's always perfectly timed and devastating. And that. I mean, I could be talking about God and Stu's like, yeah, but have you considered salads? And somehow or another, it works. I mean, it's a gift. It's gift. But he. One of the things we're going to miss. And a lot of people are on the phone saying that, you know, they remember all of the stuff with Super Bowls and everything else and Football Fridays and those. That's where you'll find his real loyalty. Stu loves three things in the world. Philadelphia Eagles, apparently quitting, and Philadelphia Eagles. He loves the Eagles more than his wife and children, which is impressive because I'm told by Stu's new PR firm that they apparently still love him a lot.
- [57:02]
B
Wow.
- [57:03]
A
But that's what I mean. That's just what I heard. But I wanted to give you something, Stu, because, you know, you didn't earn the car. That was for somebody who made it 30 years. Yeah, yeah.
- [57:17]
B
Know you've told me that multiple times.
- [57:19]
A
I wanted to get you something because, honestly, You're one of my best friends. You are indispensable, irreplaceable on and off the air. You've made this show funnier and smarter and sharper. You have made me a better man. And. And I'm gonna miss you. Interns don't last 27 years and quitters don't get welcome back. You'd be welcome back anytime. And failures don't leave legacies, which you have left, even though the odds may not be in your favor on the why, you know, I mean, the show will fail. We all know it. And then you'll be back and I'll leave the lights on. But I. I wanted to give you a gift. So if you just. I think it should be there by you. I want to give you a gift. And. Just say thank you for. The best broadcast experience and the best years of my life. Thank you.
- [59:07]
B
Thank you, Glenn.
- [59:07]
A
So open up your stupid man present.
- [59:20]
B
This is gonna be something.
- [59:21]
E
Like.
- [59:24]
A
What?
- [59:25]
B
I don't know.
- [59:25]
A
Like, what is your prediction? What's your prediction?
- [59:28]
B
I mean, my first guess was human waste. I thought it might just be a box of human waste, but I don't know what it is. Let's see. Don't know how to open it apparently either.
- [59:45]
E
Wow.
- [59:45]
B
It's a watch.
- [59:47]
A
So it is a. Whoa. It is a Breitling Super Chronic Chronomat. There are only 104 of these made. They're made for the Philadelphia Eagles. If you take it out and look on the backside, it has the NFL logo and the eagles on the front of the face. So it's a commemorative limited edition watch just for the Eagles. Oh, my. There were more of them, but the Eagles threw them out. And we're hitting pelting Santa with them. So there's only 104 of them left. But.
- [60:25]
B
Glenn, this is unbelievable.
- [60:27]
A
I just wanted to thank you.
- [60:30]
B
Oh, my God.
- [60:32]
A
For the time we've had together.
- [60:36]
B
Thank you, Glenn. This is an incredible gift and I, you know, I can't thank you enough for everything. I don't want to become a sobbing mess, so I'm going to. Going to stop.
- [60:52]
A
Let's go into a commercial, shall we?
- [60:55]
B
That's awesome. Thank you.
- [60:58]
A
All right, Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. When your phone buzzes, it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Connecting you to the people that you care about. Texts from your kids, calls from friends. Strange phone never buzzes or rings with Stu on the other line. But that's you know, a different story. But here's the part most people never think about. Your phone. Your phone company is connected to all kinds of things. Big mobile corporations don't just provide service. They fund causes. They lobby for policies and support agendas with, you know, the money you send them every single month. And a lot of, a lot of the time, those causes are exact opposite of what you are trying to live by. Patriot Mobile flips that script and you'll get nationwide coverage. You still get competitive pricing. You still get phones that work the way they should. But now your bill is connected to something different. Support for free speech and religious liberty in the second amendment and the sanctity of life and all the things that you care deeply about. Your phone already connects you to your world. Patriot Mobile makes sure your money connects you to your values. So go to patriot mobile.com beck or call 972patriot 972patriot Use the promo code Beck for a free month of service.

B
Glenn.
- [62:34]
A
Yes.
- [62:34]
B
You gave me a present. I actually got you a little something as well. Now, I do not have the.
- [62:41]
A
You.
- [62:42]
B
Know, the ability maybe to select an amazing watch like you gave me, but I thought I got something that I thought you'd appreciate. And Pat has it here. It's wrapped here. Maybe show over here.
- [62:54]
H
Okay.
- [62:54]
B
So this is something I think you'll like. You know, again, the only thing I know maybe more than you is sports. So I thought I could get you something cool related to your. Your favorite player. Patrick Mahomes. So signed.
- [63:14]
E
Look at that.
- [63:15]
B
Look at that right there. Look at that. That's incredible.
- [63:18]
I
Look at that.
- [63:19]
B
Patrick Mahomes signed, photo framed. See him? See him there, Pat, can you point to him? Can you point to him right there? Yeah, yeah, that's him right there. Right there. Now, it is signed by Cooper Dean after the pick six in the Super Bowl. But you can see Patrick Mahomes.
- [63:35]
E
Patrick Mahomes right there. Right there.
- [63:37]
B
And you know, I.
- [63:39]
E
And not exactly center, but right in.
- [63:41]
B
The sort of a little blurry, but he is in the picture.
- [63:45]
A
On Monday. On Monday. On Monday. As you know, for people who are signing up for the torch, somebody's gonna win. An amazing picture of the Philadelphia Eagles signed by somebody.
- [64:02]
B
You're welcome, Glenn. I hope you appreciated that.
- [64:05]
A
Thank you.
- [64:06]
B
Thank you. I can't. You know, wow.
- [64:09]
A
You know, it's. You know what's weird is, you know what this weekend is this Is something we have tried to erase from everything that we could ever. We ever knew existed.
- [64:22]
B
What do you mean?
- [64:23]
A
Let me just hold these up. This weekend is Gasparilla weekend.
- [64:28]
B
Oh, my God.
- [64:29]
A
In Tampa, Florida. We started in Tampa and True Story is a parade. It's a crazy parade. Crazy. It's like Mardi Gras crazy. And the station asked us, WFLA asked us if we could host it. And Jeffy was there, Stu was there, I was there. And we did not want to host it. We were like, no, I don't want to host this thing. And so they made us host it. And so we had a plan. We are going to make the most offensive broadcast that we could possibly come up with. And so we planned like, we went all the way. We've tried, We've destroyed all of these tapes, but we've made. We made it. We were raiding the cheerleaders of the high school bands. And when you say fat ones in.
- [65:14]
B
This, you and you and Jeffy, of.
- [65:17]
A
Course, I mean, it was, it was, it was horrific. And we knew it and it was hysterical, but horrific. But we wanted to make sure that they never asked us again. Okay, that was a mistake. The exact opposite happened. It became like a really big deal. And then they asked us every year and thank God for syndication because I was like, I can't do that anymore. I can't do that anymore. It was horrendous. But this is the anniversary. This is the weekend of Gasparilla in Tampa.
- [65:44]
B
Jeffy joins us here, by the way.
- [65:46]
H
Yeah, I know. He changed the subject to Gasparilla. I came in, he was giving away presents. I thought I'd be.
- [65:53]
A
Jeffy. I have one for you. It's a signed picture of somebody in the end zone with Patrick Mahomes in the background.
- [66:03]
B
Wow.
- [66:06]
A
More in just a second. So let me tell you about Simply Safe. You don't need a news alert to know, you know, the world feels different than it. Than it used to. I mean, people are on edge. Crime doesn't always stay somewhere else. And a lot of people are realizing you just can't assume that everything is going to be, you know, okay, because it always has been. There's. There's a big difference between living in fear and being prepared. But. But recognizing reality. Simply Safe Minds wants to make it really easy to protect your home without turning your life upside down. And you can set it up all by yourself. No drilling through walls, no pushy salespeople, nobody coming in, no long term contracts hanging over. I hate that the system watches over your Doors and your windows and your rooms. If something triggers it, you're alerted immediately. And professional monitoring can dispatch help fast. If you're living in an apartment or something, getting ready to move or whatever, you can take it with you. This is really, really good. And it's not about being paranoid. It's about being prepared. Knowing that when you lay your head down at night, when you. Or when you leave for work or you're gone for a while, everything is going to be okay. And your family's okay is safe as well. And right now, you can get 50% off of any new system this month only simplisafe.com Beck it ends this weekend. Simplisafe.com Beck There is no safe like Simplisafe.
- [67:39]
B
It's my last day today. Please join us on the new venture predictableshow.com and don't forget Glenn Beck.com as well.
- [68:03]
A
So I got to tell you, I don't know why we're doing this big thing for Stu today. We're going to get to the news here in a second, but I mean, technically I'm the one who's gone. You guys are all together still and I mean, you're, you know.
- [68:13]
B
Oh, it's a good point. Thanks for showing up for my last day. Really appreciate your dedication to our 28 year work, working relationship. That's.
- [68:20]
A
Yeah. Well, it's. The only way I can deal with it is you on the other side of the country. That's the way it needs to be done. But Pat is with me and, and Stu on his last day. Although Stu and Pat will be filling in, you know, for me and Stu will be part of the show from time to time.
- [68:36]
B
He's doing a. I would love to do that. That's fun. That would be fun.
- [68:39]
A
Well, it's up to Pat because Pat's really in the pole position now. So. Pat, I mean, it's up to you.
- [68:47]
E
Let me think about it. I'll have to think about it.
- [68:48]
B
Yeah, thinking about it.
- [68:50]
A
And. And you know, there another show that Stu quit on was the Pat and Stu show with Jeffy.
- [68:56]
B
That's not good.
- [68:58]
H
Thank you.
- [68:59]
A
Right. Is it. Is that Jeffy? Am I not right?
- [69:01]
H
Yeah, you are 100 correct. It's a real shame to see Stu go. And now you're saying he's going to be back. I'm not a fan of that at all.
- [69:09]
B
The typical radio job averages like 16 months. I last for 28 years and I got called a quitter on my last day over and over and over again.
- [69:17]
H
Yeah, but you got a job done. Certified replica watch.
- [69:20]
B
Yeah. You didn't, by the way. You didn't get this from Jeffy. You didn't buy this from Jeffy because his are knockoffs. You realize he sells knockoffs.
- [69:26]
H
They're 100% certified replicas.
- [69:28]
A
Yeah, yeah. No, technically, I didn't get it from Jeffy. Purchased it from Jeffy, but I didn't get it from Jeffy.
- [69:35]
H
Thank you.
- [69:38]
A
So we have a lot of people on the phone. Let me go to Luke in Maine. Hello, Luke. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
- [69:46]
F
Hello.
- [69:46]
D
I have a quick story about how the good Lord possibly spared my life for two Super Bowls. Pat, Stu, Glenn, and a sandwich.
- [69:56]
B
Oh, obviously.
- [69:58]
A
Okay, good. Good setup.
- [70:02]
D
Yeah. Well, In December of 2001, I went through a windshield of a car in a car accident, nearly died. Later in February, the Patriots won a Super Bowl.
- [70:22]
E
That.
- [70:22]
D
That night, I was in a rollover in Westville, Virginia, on my way to Kentucky, and Jeffy actually honestly. And by Elvis was playing at the time.
- [70:33]
H
Oh, yeah. There you go.
- [70:36]
D
Then years later, the plumber for L.L. bean, he got me hooked on. On your show. That was around 2004. Then fast forward to 2005.
- [70:49]
C
Do.
- [70:49]
D
Actually rigged more on trivia.
- [70:52]
B
Oh, that's false. Yes, that is false.
- [70:54]
A
Yes.
- [70:55]
B
I would never do such.
- [70:56]
A
That is absolutely true. Stu used to rig it all the.
- [71:00]
E
All the time. All the time.
- [71:01]
B
What are you talking about?
- [71:02]
A
Amy would rig it all the time.
- [71:04]
B
I wasn't commissioner Eagles and everything.
- [71:06]
H
Well, the commissioner was created because of that.
- [71:10]
A
Yes. Thank you, Jeffy. Anyway, Luke, go ahead with your fine, fine story.
- [71:16]
D
A gentleman by the name of Pat Gray called in and threw a flag, and he called out Stu on that because there were so many smart people calling in on the Philadelphia side.
- [71:29]
B
There's just smart people that are Eagles fans. There's nothing I can do about that.
- [71:32]
H
Right.
- [71:33]
B
If you're smart, you're Eagles all.
- [71:35]
A
Who knew all 12 of them in Philadelphia would be able to call on that day?
- [71:40]
D
Then somehow, you know, it painted the picture that us New Englanders were stupid. But, wow, it's neither here nor there.
- [71:47]
E
It's just. No, it's wrong.
- [71:49]
H
Yeah.
- [71:49]
B
It's just wrong. Facts are facts.
- [71:50]
H
It is wrong then, it's wrong now.
- [71:53]
E
Sure is right.
- [71:54]
A
America's heard it.
- [71:57]
E
And I threw that flag clear from Houston, Texas.
- [71:59]
B
That's right.
- [72:01]
E
That's an important element. That's how important it was to throw that flag.
- [72:04]
A
Luke, can you. Can you bring us to the sandwich into the saving of the life?
- [72:09]
D
Well, Stu made that bet. With you. And then you sent him out in Philly with that. That New England super bowl shirt on.
- [72:17]
E
Yeah.
- [72:17]
D
Sent him to the Liberty Bell. He screamed out, the Liberty Bell is broken. So is Constitution.
- [72:26]
A
No, I don't think so. Can we play. We actually happen to have the tape. We actually have the tape of this. Can you. Can you play the tape of stuff? And his punishment. Here he is at the Liberty Bell. Fix the damn bell. Fix the damn bell. The Constitution.
- [72:52]
B
It's gonna ruin my future political career, that's for sure. Actually, Minnesota probably would win.
- [73:01]
A
Was this a separate time from you when you had to. When I put you.
- [73:04]
B
You actually said the steps of. So the thing was, I wanted to go to the Super Bowl. I was very excited. It was my first super bowl, and I thought, you know, I was hoping the Eagles would win. But you said if the Eagles lose, you were gonna come back, and I was gonna have to be tortured when I came back. So you made me run up the rocky steps, which, by the way, way too much exercise. That was the first piece of torture. But then at the top, you made me yell with a sign, rocky was a loser, too. And then I was required to.
- [73:35]
A
People of Philadelphia have such a good sense of humor.
- [73:37]
B
Oh, yeah. I didn't almost get murdered at each location. The second one was I went to the Liberty Bell and told him, the stupid bell is broken. Fix the damn bell. And then the third one was actually maybe the most embarrassing, which is I had to go to. I think it was Geno's cheesesteaks and order a hamburger sub with Swiss.
- [74:03]
E
And they. Which.
- [74:04]
B
They don't appreciate that. No, they don't.
- [74:06]
A
No, they don't make that. They're not exactly the type that just say, I'm sorry, sir, we don't. We don't. We don't serve that.
- [74:13]
B
No, that's not the thing they do. But, you know, I got to go see a Super bowl, even though they lost it, so eventually they did wind up winning two. Just to remember, you'll be doing a.
- [74:22]
A
Lot of those things. Let me. Let me go to Mike in Illinois on line six. Hello, Mike.
- [74:30]
D
Good morning, guys. First of all, you guys ever come to Chicago, let me know. I'll put £20 on you, because I'll take you all the good places to eat.
- [74:36]
B
There you go.
- [74:37]
A
All right.
- [74:39]
B
20 pounds. That's one pizza in Chicago.
- [74:42]
E
Yeah.
- [74:42]
D
And it's not deep dish. It's not deep dish. It's this tavern. Thin crust. So good to go.
- [74:47]
B
Yes, the tavern.
- [74:48]
D
Thick dishes, all you want to like. Steve Dish is the Travel Channel, so that's about it. Anyway, what's up with this? Well, why you gotta. Why you gotta, you know, do this to us? You gotta leave us. You're leaving us with the pale white guy.
- [75:02]
B
I know.
- [75:02]
A
You know, I mean, that's not a way to talk about.
- [75:07]
D
Or Jeff, he's gonna auger. He's gonna auger the show now, like a Cessna 150 in about two weeks. I mean, you're the one that keeps us together here. I mean, why you gotta be like that?
- [75:18]
B
You know, I. I apologize. I will say this, though. Yes, very pasty white guy, but he moved to Florida. This guy's going to be George Hamilton in a few weeks. Like, this is going to. He's going to be. He is going to.
- [75:29]
A
I am so riddled with skin cancer. My wife will not let me outside. I look at the sun, and she's like, get an umbrella.
- [75:38]
H
I'm like, oh, my God, there was your tanning board.
- [75:41]
E
Yeah.
- [75:42]
A
Yeah, that's not happening. Let me go to Cody in Texas. Hello, Cody.
- [75:46]
D
Hey, fellas. How you doing?
- [75:48]
B
Hey, good.
- [75:49]
A
How are you?
- [75:49]
D
You're gonna be missed.
- [75:50]
A
I'm great.
- [75:51]
D
I'm remembering about 25 years ago, you were on a serious phone call with a lady named Jean, and I think you were telling her about a relative that had passed away that was riddled with sids, and Stu kept chiming in with the feminine high, and you kept saying her name, and I nearly wrecked my truck listening to that bit. So Rudge it up from the past.
- [76:14]
A
Oh, no, we remember that one quite well. That was one of our favorites as well. I'm surprised anybody else does. I mean, we have been overwhelmed this week with people, you know, online. The people, the insiders. And. And people have been calling and writing, remembering things that we have done that we have completely. I mean, most of it. I swear we never did. I swear we never did.
- [76:33]
B
I'd like to believe we didn't do some of them.
- [76:36]
A
I'd like to believe that. Yeah.
- [76:38]
E
Right?
- [76:38]
A
Yeah.
- [76:38]
B
It's really true. You know, so many people reaching out. It's been really cool to go down that. That memory lane, if you will. And so many of them are either incredibly embarrassing, really, really funny, or I had just totally forgot that it even happened. I mean, like, you guys have such a great memory compared to us, I don't know. I know yours was drugs, Glenn, but I don't know why I'm having a problem with it.
- [77:02]
H
I mean, they were posting pictures. I saw pictures of Stu and I in the studio falling asleep to Glenn's radio show in 2001.
- [77:10]
A
Yeah, I don't think we need to. Let me go to John in Indiana. Hello, John.
- [77:18]
D
Hey, Glenn. Hey, stuff. We're really going to miss you here, Stu. But let me tell you, five of us got together through ten bucks each into a pool. We wrote down different things of what we thought you were going to do, and then to figure out who was going to be right, had to pull.
- [77:39]
E
It from the hat.
- [77:41]
D
Well, still, you lost me 50 bucks I pulled out of the hat that you were going to do gay porn.
- [77:48]
B
Yeah, you know, I had considered it. There's really. With AI coming in, though, there's just not a future there.
- [77:56]
A
You know what's weird is he was going to do it with Don Lemon until Don Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles today.
- [78:04]
H
Don's cheating on him with other prisoners.
- [78:07]
A
Yeah, prisoners of love. Prisoners of love. Okay. Mark in Virginia.
- [78:17]
D
Hey, guys. Wow, what a. What a bittersweet day. Stu, I just want to know what it's been like to work with Glenn. I notice he changes his image packaging every two or three months. What is it like to work with a guy who can change on a dime? And, Glenn, you're creative. You're like a Michael Landon to me. Honest to God, just. There's so much that flows out of you. And I know you have great people around you. I'm waiting for you to blow up the little city like Michael Glennon did. But anyway, I'll never forget.
- [78:46]
I
Real quick.
- [78:47]
D
Don Imus says, I love Glenn Beck, but I'm worried they're going to take him out of 30 rock and a straight jacket. So what's it been like to work with a guy that might be taken out of the room with a straight jacket?
- [78:56]
B
Stu, it has been everything that Don Imis described. There have been many times I've seen people come up to the door and I hoped it was an authority figure of some sort to remove Glenn, unfortunately.
- [79:08]
A
Leaving too early for that.
- [79:10]
H
Yeah.
- [79:10]
A
Wait until after the next election or two.
- [79:12]
B
Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I don't. Look, I might be leaving, but I will say this. I don't. It's gonna be a very interesting next few years trying to figure all this stuff out. Man, we are gonna be on fire. And, you know, I hope. I hope this. It's what Glenn always says to me when we go to the break, and we're just like, God, what is gonna happen? And he goes, you know, the way I always look at it is it's gonna Be really interesting to see how this all plays out. And if you kind of just think of it that way, you're right. It's just like kind of a movie that we're all watching everything. Wow, that was an interesting movie. Disassociate. It's like a rock action film, you know, you're just like, oh, gosh, you'll probably save the day. Who knows, you know.
- [79:54]
E
Let'S hope.
- [79:55]
B
Let's hope, boys and girls. Yeah.
- [79:56]
A
Little less optimistic than a rock action film that the ending is gonna work out the right way.
- [80:04]
H
Wolf has wings.
- [80:05]
B
Of course. The wolf.
- [80:07]
E
Exactly.
- [80:07]
A
The wolf. All right, back with more in a second. Let me tell you about the burner launcher. I want you to be able to protect yourself and your family. The burn a launcher is a great way to do it. You, you know, you just. Just refuse to be helpless. But understand also that using lethal force is a line you never want to cross unless there's absolutely no other choice and you're prepared for it. Most people say I carry a gun, but have you gone? Have you gone to the range? Are you good at it? It Burna is a less lethal self defense tool. It fires powerful kinetic and pepper and tear gas projectiles. And it's designed to stop a threat without permanently ending a life. It gives you distance. It gives you control. It gives you an option between shouting and shooting. And the compact launcher makes it even more practical. I mean, in today's world with what we're seeing. We talked earlier about what Tim Walsh said. Tim Walsh is now. I mean, this is insane saying that this is either Fort Sumter or John Brown. Either way, that puts him in either a confederate role or a violent extremist. Not good, Tim. But you're too stupid to figure that one out. The guy doesn't even know our own history. Anyway, you want to make sure that you are safe. Your family is safe. My kids carry it in a backpack. My wife has it in her purse. We have a glove box. Everybody in my family over 20 has one or over 18 has a burner launcher. You can get yours now. You can even try. Before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse, find the location near you at burna by rna.com glenn that's burna.com glenn likes aren't love. Retweets aren't showing up.
- [81:57]
H
Real people still matter.
- [82:00]
A
Glenn Beck. Back in a moment.
- [82:12]
B
You know, another memory. We go through all the memories of the shows over the years. So another memory I have almost every holiday season was Pat Gray who would come in to the office with incredibly delicious cookies over and over and over again. And I, we, not just me, but everybody around here would be like, why do you keep bringing these to us? Why don't you sell them nationwide? That's what you should do. And we didn't. I don't think it was our idea, you know, like. But it wound up happening. The truth actually finally came out. These cookies are now available to you. They're called Kexi cookies. K E K S I. It's a great option for Valentine's Day. These are gourmet cookies made with high quality ingredients. They're the best cookies you're ever gonna eat. They are rich, they are indulgent, and they are the kind of treat that you don't just, you know, inhale in two bites. That's, I don't think, possible for anyone outside of potentially Jeffy. They have a hot chocolate cookie. They have in house marshmallow cream, a deep layer of chocolate that tastes like someone turned your favorite winter drink into a dessert. They also have. That's just one flavor. They've got great flavors in the Valentine's Day box that, of course, sold out. And they always tell me after it's sold out.

Don't forget we have a Q and A for Stu's last day. It's a fourth hour to the program available@glenn beck.com right after this. We'll be going and doing that. Jeff, are you going to stay with us for that?
- [84:03]
H
I can most certainly. Have we just forgotten when stuff quit the first time?
- [84:08]
A
No.
- [84:09]
B
It's all we talked about when you.
- [84:10]
H
First came to Tampa. Because that was my favorite memory. When Stu wasn't there.
- [84:15]
A
Yeah, right, Right. Should have never let him crawl back. Never let him crawl back.
- [84:22]
B
This is why I. We started predictableshow.com so that I could avoid. I could be out of here and never, ever have to see Jeffy again. That was a big part of my decision here to just get a little more distance if there wasn't enough already. So thank you, Jeffrey. I appreciate that.
- [84:41]
A
By the way, Mangione, they've just decided that he cannot face the death penalty charges. Wow. In New York. And he has been now, apparently the state charges Of New York, second degree murder. Second degree murder.
- [85:00]
E
How is that second degree?
- [85:03]
A
I don't know. The judge dismissed the federal murder and related weapons charge and so they can't seek the capital punishment. Why? Well, I really. I would love to know, is anybody following this? Let's. We'll do our homework here during the break. I would really like to know, how can you as a judge dismiss the weapons charge and the federal murder charge? The guy, this was so premeditated. He knew exactly what he was doing. He was waiting for the guy. That's not first degree murder. How.
- [85:38]
E
Sure seems like it to me.
- [85:39]
B
Do we think. What do we think of the possibility of releasing him and putting him in a rental car with a GPS pre programmed to Jeffy's house? Thoughts?
- [85:50]
H
I mean, you can't say no when he shows up, but they all love him now.
- [85:57]
B
They do.
- [85:57]
A
You know what a superstar that guy would be in Minneapolis right now. Oh, my gosh.
- [86:02]
E
Worshiped as a hero.
- [86:03]
B
I mean, the king of the new.
- [86:04]
A
Yeah, they worship him as a hero.
- [86:05]
E
Did you see the guy tried to break him out of prison by showing up and pretending to be an FBI agent?
- [86:11]
B
Yeah. Unbelievable.
- [86:12]
E
With the pizza cutter, it almost worked, but. Yeah, not quite. Not quite. But he's. He's a stinking hero to these people. He's an absolute hero to them.
- [86:22]
A
So was the person that Tim Walsh quoted yesterday. So was John Brown. He was a violent extremist. Everyone knew that at the time. Tim Walsh is now holding him up as a hero. He was an insurrectionist. Tim, learn your history. Let me tell you about our sponsors. Patriot Mobile. You, you probably wouldn't shop at a store if you knew they were using your money to, you know, I don't know, support things you strongly disagree with. If you knew that they were, you know, running drugs across the border or they were involved in something just totally immoral, would you shop at that store anymore? Of course you wouldn't. Of course you wouldn't. So why are you doing it with some of these big cell phone companies? I've told you for a while now that Verizon, they contribute to Planned Parenthood. Well, depending on. I mean, if you just think that's a choice, then you don't have a problem with it. If you think that that's murder. You're involving yourself every time you pay that bill. You're helping them murder children. What are you thinking? This is so easy. So easy. Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative wireless provider that actually aligns with your values. Patriotmobile.com Beck call 972 Patriot and you're going to get a free month of service. You're going to pay less. And you're also, all your money is going to things that support the U.S. constitution, support our law enforcement agents, you know, support our, our firefighters.

Hey, welcome to Friday. It's the Glenn Beck program. This is opening weekend for Melania. New film that is out. It's of kind getting panned by all the critics. But of course it is. It looks stunning.

Yesterday there was a cabinet meeting and Besson made a point of dropping in and saying, hey, I just want to give you an update on the economy. It's worth hearing. Also, we should talk a little bit about the new fed chair that is coming in and it's Stu's last day on the program. We have all of this and so much more coming up in just a second.

- [91:21]
B
Yes, hello Glenn. Excuse me, I'm getting, my voice is starting to crack. This is going to be terrible. I hope everyone can just tune out now so we don't have to hear any of this. But thank you Glenn. Thanks for having me on for, I don't know, 28 years or so.
- [91:37]
A
Stu is leaving us and honestly I was going to talk him out of it and then I realized think of the money I'm saving on that salary. But actually I heard what his plan was and I think this is, this is perfect for Stu. This is, this is something that I think he was born to do because it goes into what he has always liked. Stu is a numbers guy. Always been, he's, he's, he's almost like an idiot savant when it comes to stuff like this. Emphasis on idiot. And he has always been the best at giving us the, the look at the poll numbers, etc. Etc. And he has been fascinated for years with the betting markets because Stu, Pat, Jeffy, do you remember right after 911 DARPA came out with this betting market that they were going to do with the five Eyes, all the intelligence agenc agencies, right? And everybody was like no, that's, that's horrible. How can you profit off that? And it's like, no, that's the best way to predict what's coming put, have people put money on what they think is the, is the most likely scenario. And of course DARPA stopped it because political pressure, but it was a brilliant idea. Stu believes in that approach as well to find out what's coming next. And he's also, I mean I paid him so much money he could just afford to throw it away on the betting markets. And it turns out he's, you know, he's right on the, when he looks at prediction markets. So he's starting, he's starting one and going to be doing a show based on that. You can find all of the information@prredictableshow.com it's very.
- [93:23]
B
Predictableshow.com predictableshow.com go there and if you put in your email address, it's free, by the way, and you'll get our first Preview of the 2026 Senate outlook. That's going to be obviously going to be taking up a lot of our time. I think hopefully, Glenn, we can come back. I can come back and talk about it. I mean, if you'd have me, I would love to come back on maybe. And you know, occasionally I think we're booked that day.
- [93:49]
E
Are we booked up that day?
- [93:50]
A
Thank you.
- [93:51]
H
You're right.
- [93:51]
E

B
I didn't give a.
- [93:53]
E
That day is completely, completely booked and.
- [93:56]
A
So is the day. What about. What about. Really? What about the day before?
- [94:00]
E
P. No, it's jammed. That's just a bad week for us.
- [94:04]
A
Sorry. So that's terrible.
- [94:06]
E
Dang it.
- [94:07]
B
Gosh.
- [94:07]
E
But I didn't love dog.
- [94:09]
A
Darn it.
- [94:10]
B
I didn't give a specific week.
- [94:11]
D
Dang.
- [94:11]
E
Darn. Only if we could just squeeze d. We can't.
- [94:16]
A
Dang it.
- [94:17]
B
No. But we can find.
- [94:18]
A
Oh, darn.
- [94:19]
D

E
I really do. For your sake, especially wish.
- [94:24]
B
Oh, darn it. Oh, no.

E
Dang it. Oh, we just can't.
- [94:28]
B
It would be really any time booked.
- [94:29]
E
Really that whole month.
- [94:31]
B
Yeah, but I.
- [94:32]
H
Any.
- [94:32]
B
Any month would be. Would be fine.
- [94:34]
A
No, it's really the whole quarter of the whole year.
- [94:37]
B
Really.
- [94:38]
E
Yeah. And then the quarter after that. Yeah, it's even worse.
- [94:40]
A
Yeah, that's a good point.
- [94:45]
B
It's a good point.
- [94:47]
A
It is predictable.
- [94:49]
B
It is predictable.
- [94:50]
A
It is predictable.
- [94:50]
E
Yeah.
- [94:51]
B
Anyway, predictableshow.com go sign up and we will be. I make sure to hit up Kalshi and Polymarket to put anti Glenn Beck markets all over that thing. I will be predicting him. We're predicting his weight.
- [95:05]
I
I will be.
- [95:06]
B
We will have. I will hit them up to post markets like crazy. Just a mockery.
- [95:12]
A
Turn his microphone off. All right. Also, one other reminder. This is the last weekend that's free for Glenn beck.com and torch. If you would like to become a member of Torch, all you have to do is go to glenn beck.com this last weekend. Next week I'll be telling you more about it. But I'm gonna make it inflation proof. I am never going to raise your price. You know, we. We set the price at 999 for blaze years and years ago with inflation. That is. That, that actually is like $6 because they never raised their price. And so now it's like $6 instead of 9.99. So, you know, the way things are going, this thing will be worth like a dime. I'll be out of business in no time. But inflation proof. If you join the first month, and it starts on Monday, first month, you'll not only get something special I'll talk to you about, you know, on Monday, but also you are going to be inflation proof for the rest of your life.
- [96:13]
B
And this is one of the reasons why I'm ditching this place. Glenn's business sense, a man who tells you every day that they're printing trillions and trillions of dollars. We all know the inflation is coming right around the corner and he gets all this great content, which is going up on Torch. That is awesome. I mean, you're doing a great job with us. And outside of my thing, I would love for you to sign up for my thing, but you should totally sign up for Torch because you're gonna get so much great stuff and this is your last chance to get it here over the next couple days for free. So check it out before you do. But I mean, you're gonna make this.
- [96:49]
A
I don't need your mercy. I don't need you.
- [96:51]
B
You're gonna make this.
- [96:51]
H
I mean, the first month. What I heard everyone gets a free car.
- [96:56]
A
Sign up for the first Lotus.
- [96:57]
B
If you, if you are, shut all.
- [96:58]
A
Their microphones off now. Sir, would you please open up Jason's mic? Jason, who is doing the insider broadcast. You just played something from Besant. There was a cabinet meeting yesterday. Can you play this again? This, this is. You know, the economy could go one of two ways. Listen to what Bessant said yesterday in the cabinet meeting.
- [97:21]
G
IPA power you used on the tariffs. As you said, we've got. We're bringing in tens of trillions of investments. The tens of trillions of investments turns into factories construction, which turns into factory jobs, which turns into consumer spending. You've right sized the government.
- [97:38]
A
Government.
- [97:39]
G
So government employment is down, private sector is up. Growth was a stunning 4.7, 4.8% in the past two quarters. Biggest back to back gains in a decade. And we are doing that with government finances improving. So that will bring down the borrowing costs. The calendar year budget for 2024, 7% deficit to GDP. Highest when we weren't at war. Not in a recession. All the way down to 5.4% and getting better. Biggest decline since 2014. Generational gains in productivity. Soaring productivity. We're going to lift. Workers pay record high prices, record high profits and stock prices are soaring. You got a manufacturing renaissance and all the key inflation metrics are trending lower over the past three months. The consumer price index is just 2.1 and core prices are even lower at 1.6 and I think that that could trend below 1 given energy, as you talked about the pharmaceutical discounts and rents. So we're expecting a great year in 2026. Mr.
- [98:54]
A
I have to tell you, either this president is absolutely right or, I mean, because he's, he is, he's changing the economic systems or the belief in the old way of doing things and we haven't seen inflation. Now his latest is, Jason, what do you know about Kevin Warsh, the new nominee for Fed head of the Fed?
- [99:17]
I
Kevin Wash is a very, very safe pick. If you want to get somebody in there and not have to worry about him getting denied in a confirmation, I think that everyone would be willing to vote for him. So he's been on the board of governors before. We know that he has said in the past that he is looking for there needs to be total regime change within the Fed now. So he's on board with the president there. He's now in line with lowering interest rates. So it's pretty much everything the president wants to happen. And he's also a safe pick to actually be able to go through the process and get in.
- [99:49]
A
So that is a really interesting thing because if he lowers the interest rates, conventional wisdom would say inflation is going to climb higher. But everything that the president has done so far in the first year, everyone has said inflation is going to go out of control. And he has actually reduced inflation. It's just, it's, it's just over 2% inflation, which is the target of the Fed. I don't know how this is happening. I mean, he told me a year ago, he said, Glenn, I'm going to convince you that I'm going to make you a tariff guy. And I said, I don't know, I'm to the point now where, I mean, I think it's actually kind of working, at least for sure on the, on the negotiation and, you know, and world stage. It's not necessarily the most fun, but he's getting so much done on the world stage with the tariffs that I got to tell you, I, he might be changing my mind on a lot of things, but only time will tell. Thank you, Jason. You bet. So I don't know if you guys saw the, the latest on the Don Row doctrine, the stuff that is coming out of, you know, this hemisphere now. This, this was Announced yesterday. First of all, Venezuela said their oil industry is going to go back to private. They're going to privatize the oil industry, which is the best thing that could happen for Venezuela. The Panama has voided the China contract, which was one of the first things that the President said he wanted to happen. They now. So they've kicked China out of the Panama Canal entirely. That's a really big deal. And then yesterday he put sanctions, new sanctions on Cuba. He's gonna try to collapse Cuba.
- [101:44]
E
Wow, that's a lot. So there's a lot going on. They're also saying that they just released 3 million pages of Epstein files.
- [101:56]
B
And 2,000 videos. No word how many Jeffy's in?
- [102:01]
H
Oh, I would tell you 2,000.
- [102:04]
A
I mean.
- [102:06]
B
Oh, no, he's on every page or he's behind the camera. One of the two.
- [102:10]
A
So what are they saying these are of.
- [102:14]
B
This is supposed to be, I think, everything. Now, that doesn't mean we're gonna.
- [102:17]
E
I don't know if it's all but gonna be redacted. I mean, 3 million pages with 2,999,999 redacted isn't gonna help us. But, but. So I don't, I don't know. They haven't really specified that yet.
- [102:29]
B
You have to believe the overwhelming majority is just boring nothing. Right. Like it's not going to be 3 million interesting documents. I'm sure a lot of it is just, you know, investigation throwaways.
- [102:40]
A
I just had a conversation with Jonathan Turley and it airs next week on Torch. We spoke about an hour on insurrection and everything, but I asked him about the Clinton subpoena and how they're rejecting it and what Congress should do. I'd like to get your opinion on, guys, what you think should be done with that. And then I want to tell you what he said. It. It, I mean, it was pretty stunning. We'll do that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor. When you're dealing with constant aches and stiffness, you know, throughout your body, it doesn't just affect how you feel, it affects how you live.

Or go to relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain? Find out relieffactor.com 10seconds. Station ID. Okay, so the Clintons, Bill and Hillary both have been subpoenaed by Congress to testify on Capitol Hill about Ebstein scene. And it's, it's really, I think it's a fishing exhibition expedition. They don't have anything hardcore. They just want to ask them questions. Okay, so Bill and Hillary said, nope, we're not going to do it. Now this is a subpoena from Congress. This has never been done before by like a president and former first lady or, you know, secretary of State. But the last time it did happen, two people went to jail, went to prison for it. It. I thought that the Congress would back off because it would just be the Republicans doing it and the Clintons would just use it for propaganda purposes. See, they're, they're just trying to get even with us. But actually Democrats said no, you got to show up for this subpoena. I was talking to Jonathan Turley about it. What do you think should happen on that? Should they go after and arrest them and put them in prison for this or not? Stu.
- [105:39]
B
Should they put him in prison? You know, obviously there's a lot more to it than just that snap decision, but it does seem like there's something there. No, you don't agree?
- [105:51]
A
I'm just asking.
- [105:53]
E
Stuart, are you just asking?
- [105:55]
A
No, I'll give you my opinion here a second.
- [105:57]
E
Yeah, I mean, don't they if nobody's above the law, you gotta hold them in contempt of Congress. I don't know if they go immediately to prison, but. Right. They got to be held. There's a process.
- [106:06]
H
I mean, I do, I want to see them perp walked handcuffed.
- [106:09]
E
Oh, be honest.
- [106:10]
H
Oh my gosh. Yes. But that's not gonna happen.
- [106:14]
A
So my feeling has been this is going to be nothing but used as propaganda to set the country even more on fire, yada yada. Yada. I'm talking to Turley, and this interview comes out next week. I'm talking to Turley, and I asked him about it, and he's like, oh, they have to be arrested. Arrested. I'm like, what? He's like, no, there's no question. Constitutionally. He's like, this is. This is the most blatant violation of a subpoena I've ever seen.
- [106:38]
B
Wow.
- [106:39]
A
He said, and they did it intentionally because he believes they just think they're above the law, that nobody's going to come after him. And he said they have to. If. Yeah, he said if they don't go after them, if they don't put them in jail or at least arrest them for this and then go to trial if they don't. He's like, there is no. There's no law. There's no law. These guys are way above the law. I mean, I thought that was. He's pretty. You know, he's pretty solid, but he's also pretty temperate.
- [107:11]
B
Yeah, he's not gonna just. He's not like a, you know, a wild tweeter, you know, he's not just some guy saying things for shock value. That's. That's meaningful coming from him.
- [107:19]
H
Yeah. Well, maybe they just asked him. Maybe they asked him nicely again.
- [107:24]
B
Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
- [107:25]
H
Come on. Please.
- [107:26]
E
Please. Pretty pleased with sugar on it yet.
- [107:30]
H
I don't think that first subpoena said that.
- [107:33]
A
Can you imagine, though, how. How satisfying it would be for those guys to finally go to jail?
- [107:38]
E
Oh, my gosh. Really?
- [107:41]
A
I mean, think of all of the things that they have gotten away with.
- [107:44]
E
Yeah.
- [107:44]
B
What's the. What's the echo of this, though, Glenn? Like, what does this look like? Like, let's say they do arrest them.
- [107:51]
A
What.
- [107:51]
B
What is. When the Democrats are in office next time? What's the world look like? Like.
- [107:58]
A
Well, because of the way the Democrats are playing all of this. I think even if they don't arrest him, arrest them in 20, 20, 28, if the Democrats have control of everything, even 2026, if they win this next election, they have control of the House and the Senate, we're all in trouble because they will go out. I mean, they are already talking about treason for people. They're talking about executions for people. I mean, legitimate people are talking about, you're going to be held as a collaborator. So they're. They're dead serious. They will purge these. These are Marxist revolutionaries you're dealing with. And purges always come with Marxist revolutionaries. I personally do not think that this is revenge. I think this is justice. The way I see it, it is justice. These guys have gotten away with crimes for a very long time. And that's one of the reasons why I was not for arresting them on this. Because, you know, until I talked to Turley, I, I didn't think that. I thought this was kind of like a trap that they were setting for them. And I don't want to see anybody set up for a trap. I want them to legitimately go to jail for legitimate crimes. And that's the only way we get out. But I, I will tell you, the Democrats win. There's going to be a very high price to pay. They will purge. All right. More in a minute. There are women right now facing pregnancies that they feel completely unprepared for. They are scared. They are unaloned. They're convinced they have no good options. Really. No one in their life is telling them it's a baby, it's a baby. They're saying, get rid of it, get rid of it. Preborn is stepping into that moment with those moms with compassion and real help. And through the work with their network of clinics, they provide free ultrasounds. They also have care counseling. They support moms who need it for up to two years after the baby is born. Here's what they've seen again and again. When a mom sees her baby on an ultrasound, everything changes. Often she chooses life, but she's still like, I can't make it by my myself. This is not about arguments. It's about love and support, giving both mom and a baby a chance at a future. Preborn is celebrating 20 years of saving babies. And there's a moment right now that where you can save countless lives for years to come. An ultrasound machine doesn't just show a picture. It introduces a mom to her child. And many clinics don't have one, nor can they afford one. They're about $15,000 a piece of if you can get one, that'd be great. If you can just chip in on anything you can give, it's tax deductible. Donate £250. Say the keyword baby. £250 baby.

With my last 10 second tease, let me tell you to go to predictableshow.com give us your email. It's free. You've got a 2026 Senate preview.

What?

Hold it.

Coming up in just a few minutes after the radio broadcast, we're going online@glenn beck.com and everywhere else. And you'll be able to watch a Q A for Stu's last day. Today is Stu's last broadcast with me. He's been with me since 1997, and it's been a remarkable run. And I know very little about Stu, honestly, because he's a lot like Spock. He doesn't share emotions. We were joking in studio earlier today that if he. If he died, we all probably wouldn't know for maybe two years after he's dead.
- [111:57]
B
Well, I definitely wouldn't be able to tell you after I was dead.
- [112:00]
A
He does not open up emotionally. So this is going to be fun to watch because he asked for some time. He said he wanted to. Glenn, can I have just a few minutes just to talk to the audience? And I said, sure. So go ahead, Stu. We're listening.
- [112:15]
B
Thank you, Glenn. I appreciate that. I will say, despite you, this has been a great time working on this particular program. 28 years. It has been my entire professional career. Oh, this is gonna suck. Sorry about all this, people, but I really can't picture adult life without doing the show. I have no experience as an adult not doing the show, and it's weird to think about it that way. My wife is standing in the corner, and Glenn outrankser when it comes to time that I've even known him, which is a scary thing to think about. When I first met Glenn, I was hanging up balloons. That was my job. Balloons and, you know, Glenn. And I'm not talking to Glenn. I want to make sure this is clear. I'm talking to the audience, not even thinking about Glen right now. But I am telling you a story, which is, Glenn took me from hanging balloons and gave me an entire career. He taught me everything I know, and he had nothing to gain from it at all. Well, I did get him a lot of bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches, but outside of that, he had nothing to gain from it. I had no experience in this industry at all. And he was the biggest personality in the entire state. He had no reason to help me with this stuff. He took me from promotions to an intern to a producer, to an executive producer to a co host, from a smaller market to a larger market to a national show to national television, to one of the first ever streaming networks, from an event at a car dealership with literally zero attendees, to the mall in Washington, D.C. with 500,000. You know, you might not know this, but Glenn has been incredibly generous the entire time we've worked together. And he was equally generous as we tried to figure out whether we were going to continue to do the show. And in the end, I feel like he really needs someone who's 100% devoted to the really cool things he's doing on Torch. It's an amazing project and he's got amazing people working on it. There's a great staff here and, you know, I'm going to go do my thing. Predictableshow.com so please join us, but please join@glennbeck.com too. There's a lot you're going to be excited about coming up, but I just want you, the audience, to know that I am endlessly grateful to Glenn becoming. For everything he's done for my career, for my family and for me. He is a great friend in my decision to go, you know, work with a washed up DJ whose career was just over all those years ago will always be the best decision of my entire professional life. And I will acknowledge that there are a few people out there, I've noticed this occasionally, who don't appreciate Glenn quite the same way that I do. You may have noticed a mildly negative statement made about him in the media from time to time from politicians, from other commentators. And I will say while Glenn has been very successful and has been rewarded with many, many accolades, he does not deserve. I want you in the audience to know the truth, that he has sacrificed an incredible amount that he will never tell you about. He's done all of this because he has a true desire to make this country a better place. This is earnest. Many people have made fun of him over the years because of it. But Glenn is really, truly a man who believes in the American people and this country. You might doubt this. You might think that I'm lying. You might think that this is just something I'm saying because he gave me a really cool watch. But if you doubt it, I want you to be aware that you are wrong and you are dumb and shut up. I want to swear at you, but I will not. I will not. Oh, that blow a no swear streak on the last day I'm on the air. I promise you stations. I also, I want to just say that that's my friend you're talking about when you say those things about him and it's not cool. And he's taken a beating for a long time and he's pushed through it and he survived a lot of things that you'll never know about and he will never tell you about. But I hope as we go on here and I'm no longer on the show, that you really do appreciate it. I hope you appreciate everything he's Done. On the other side of this, I want to thank you, the audience of the show. You are the greatest audience that has ever been assembled. Whenever we have an event and you're here and we get together in person, a lot of you say something like, I feel like I know you guys. You know, it's so weird because you guys are all talking, we know you, and then on the other side of this, like, you don't know me at all. And it is a weird dynamic. It really is a strange thing. Some of that's true. I mean, most of you that will never meet, most of you will never call, most of you will never send a message on social media or anything like that. You'll hear our voice, and it kind of feels like a one way relationship. But I want to give you a little bit of perspective from my side. After 28 years, the truth of all of this is that you mean way more to us than we mean to you. I mean, if we're extraordinarily lucky, maybe we say something that makes you laugh, or maybe we say something that helps you with a little ammunition in an argument with one of your stupid friends. You know, maybe you get a little perspective from us, from, you know, once in a while. But you might not know this, but you've changed my life completely. You've changed my family's life every time I've interacted with you. Almost without fail, you've been kind and smart and funny and willing to do anything for this country to make it a better place for everyone, including my children. You know, think about this. Sometimes they're going to be around living in this country that you're spending all this time and effort trying to save. And it means an incredible amount to me. And it's also not an exaggeration that you have literally saved tens of thousands of lives. Think about that. That sounds like such a ridiculous thing to say about a radio audience. You have saved tens of thousands of lives. People in Afghanistan running from the Taliban. People who had their lives completely destroyed because of a hurricane or a tornado. A woman in Canada who was on the verge of willingly committing suicide. We told you that story and you stepped up and you saved her life. You've done it every single time we've asked. It's incredible. All I can say honestly to the entire audience is thank you. Thank you for putting up with me for 28 years. Thank you for laughing when I make fun of Glenn, and thank you for caring so much about the people and the country around you. Thank you so much. I Honestly mean it. And I love you.

I want to get the last word in here because I feel exactly the same way about Stu and I. We have been joking an awful lot today, and both of us, this. I've never seen Stu like this before. He hides this. No, he hides this a great deal, and I'm the exact opposite of it. But here's. Here's what I would like to leave you with today, because this is all deeply personal to us and probably not so personal to you, but it is. You know, as I get older, everything I once thought that was really, really important begins to fade. And I want to leave you with something that you can take from this show. In my 20s, I really believed that fame and fortune was the point. Making a name for myself was the point. It was the mission. And in my 20s and in my teens, I put that above absolutely everything else. And I leased happiness, or what I thought happiness was until the leases expired and I was left with nothing except wasted time and wrong answers.
- [122:51]
B
Because.

Of the men sitting in this room. Jeffy, Stu, Pat. I know what matters. Family, real friends. How much you can share with somebody, how hard you try to uplift others, and how many you can encourage while you can. My dad used to say, if you're lucky, son, you will have one or two really good friends in your life, will stay through the good times and the bad, and will be there for all of it. It's taken me a lifetime to have these friends. You don't earn these friends. They just appear. And I have been blessed in the second phase of my life to have friends I don't deserve, but I do cherish. For those of you who are younger, who really don't know what life is all about yet, this is what life is all about. Good people you travel with. Good people you share when you have nothing. Good people who lift you when you. When you just don't think you can stand it another day. That encourage you to keep going, to ignore the stones that are being thrown your way, and to follow what you believe you hear from God. To do even when the friends can't see it themselves. If I had my life to do all over again, If I just had the last 30 years to do all over again, it wouldn't change much, Because even the scars made me who I am. But there would be one thing that I would change, and I want to leave you with this. I would have been more like my friends. I would have said thank you more sincerely. I would have listened more carefully, and I would have encouraged more thoroughly. And I probably would have fired Stu preemptively. But that's a different story. Back in just a second. Let me tell you about Z Factor. You can push through a lot in life on sheer willpower. You can get through all of the deadlines, all of the stress all along dragging days. But there is one thing willpower is terrible at fixing and that's bad sleep. If you're tossing and turning or waking up feeling like you never really shut down for the night, everything the next day feels harder than it should. Your focus is off, your patience is thinner, your small problems feel bigger than they are. It's because you need sleep. Z Factor is a sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor. Designed to help your body relax at night so you can fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Better sleep doesn't just mean feeling less tired. It means thinking more clearly, handling stress more calmly, and actually having energy left for the family. At the end of the day, when you rest like you're supposed to, the rest of your day starts to feel a lot more manageable. Right now, say 46% on your first order. It's 1995 for a 30 day supply. It's relief factor at 1-800-4help. 1-800-the number four relief. It's relief factor.com once you recognize a psyop or psychological operation, everything changes. Stay informed citizens@glenn beck.com. Well, another one down and a lifetime to go. We have a fourth hour today. If you're listening glenn beck.com just keep listening. A fourth hour Q A for Stu's last day. We're all going to be taking your phone calls and talking to you and answering your questions, you know, whatever, all@glenn beck.com also@YouTube.com and don't forget, you can find stu@prredictableshow.com predictableshow.com we will see you in the fourth hour and on Monday. Stu and I have been talking about my, my career and his career for at least two years. And Stu has for a long time wanted to, you know, do his own thing. And I appreciate that and I appreciate all of the many, many years. I'm looking at your resume here. Then you went to the Glenn Beck program where you were the co host, ep executive producer. Say hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stubbergear. Hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stubbergear.
- [129:00]
B
Glenn, how are you this morning?
- [129:01]
A
Oh, I'm good. I'm good. Let me say hello to our executive producer. That is Stu Brigir. Hello, Stu, how are you?
- [129:08]
B
Glenn, how Are you.
- [129:09]
A
I mean, Stu was there for the very first talk show I ever did. How old were you when we met?
- [129:15]
B
I was, let's see, 20.
- [129:18]
A
20 years old.
- [129:19]
I
Yeah.
- [129:20]
A
And what was your impression of me? Because you got to me at the end of my radio career or my, you know, top 40 radio career.
- [129:31]
B
I mean, I grew up in Connecticut, so I knew you from your morning show at KC101, which is, you know, music station, the big station in my hometown, basically. And I knew, you know, Glenn and Pat in the morning. And this is an important lesson, I think, for people coming up not only in broadcasting, but any industry, is find someone who's very talented, but at the very valley of their career, like the worst possible time. Because those people usually have good lessons, are talented, but also you can kind of glom onto them when they're at their lowest, and then you can convince them you were part of their success later on.
- [130:06]
A
Hello, Stu.
- [130:07]
B
How are you, Glenn?
- [130:09]
A
I'm fine. Hello, Stu.
- [130:12]
B
How are you? That's a great question, Glenn. No idea. That's my new position on that question. I have no freaking idea.
- [130:21]
A
I've never worked with anybody more honest, more decent, and more loyal than you, and you have changed my life. And I truly thank you for that. You quitter.
- [130:37]
I
Welcome back, Glenn Beck Insiders. This is the insider feed. This is also, I guess, the Stew Lovers feed. We are live on multiple different platforms here, and. And we are here to take correct questions directly from you. I don't even know how I even speak right now after everything that happened at the end of that broadcast. I'm looking through all of your comments right now, and it looks like you are like everybody else in our control room right now. Not a single dry eye from any of you. I don't think I've ever seen emotion like that come from Stu, ever. Except when the Eagles lose a playoff game, which was actually really cool to see. It just happened recently.
- [131:15]
B
Did the Cowboys lose their game?
- [131:16]
I
Shut up, Stu. I'm directing this Q and A session. I ask the questions. There was another. I'm just going to jump right into the comments. I'm going to let you guys direct this. And I think that there was another candidate for comment of the day, and I think this is the question that all the users want to know about. Screw this little project that you're doing. Stu Ryan, with one of the comments of the day, said, will Stu return now to being called Steve? Amazing question.
- [131:47]
B
That is an amazing question. Sure is. My wife is here. Do you want to comment on this? There, Lisa. Do you want to call me Steve from now on?
- [131:56]
H
You're not Steve.
- [131:57]
B
It's my name. You're not Steve, and it was my dad's name.
- [132:01]
H
Your mother is wrong.
- [132:02]
A
He hasn't been Steve. His wife calls him Stu. That's how much I have wrecked his life. And I'm so happy. Happy. Yeah.
- [132:15]
B
No, I don't think so. I think at this point, I'm known as Stu. And I've, I've, I've accepted.
- [132:21]
A
I'm so glad you say that because I, I, I did trademark the name.
- [132:28]
B
I'll be getting, like, cease and desist of the day of the first show.
- [132:32]
A
Yeah, no, just bills.
- [132:34]
B
Just bills. Okay, good. Thank you very much. Yes. So, yeah, I think I got to stick with this new thing, at least on the air. But my mom still calls me Steven, and that makes me feel good. I have some relatives that still do. Mommy still calls me Steven.
- [132:46]
I
I think this is exactly what the people want as well. That's what it seems like. I'm going to Skip to Alicia. 11:44. She said that. We love you, Stu. I've signed up for your new project. She's curious if you're still going to come on the Glenn Beck program radio show from time to time. And also, you are still being. I think they were confused if you're still going to do Studios America on BlazeTV. So both those two.
- [133:08]
B
Okay, well, let me take the second one first. Yeah. I'm gonna be doing Studios America new episode on Monday. So I will be here in the building unplugging wires. So Glenn goes off the air in the middle of his monologues. Whatever I can do to help the show. But, yeah, I will be here doing the show. Studios America. We actually have some cool stuff around the corner planned for Studios America if it all comes together. Not quite there yet, but we should have some stuff to tell you about there in the pretty near future. And then will I come on the Glenn Beck radio program? This.
- [133:37]
H
The shows are all booked up.
- [133:39]
B
Yeah, I know. First of all, it's all booked up for the next year. Even though Pat, who's not on the show every day, knew this schedule.
- [133:45]
H
He's got the calendar.
- [133:45]
E
Yeah, I got the calendar right in front of me. Glenn sent it to me yesterday, and I think he forgot that he sent it, but yeah, it's right here.
- [133:54]
A
No, I remember I sent it to my new executive producer. Producer pack, right?
- [133:59]
B
No, I.
- [134:00]
A
Executive producer, vice president.
- [134:02]
H
Oh, nice.
- [134:04]
B
It's up to Glenn. I mean, you know, I would love to Come back on. I. Glenn has told me he'd like to have me back on. I hope he continues that after he shuts my show down for copyright violation.
- [134:14]
E
Yeah, he'd love to, except there's just no room. That's the problem.
- [134:21]
A
It's like, you know what? You have a lot in common with. You have a lot in common with baby Jesus. There was no room for him either.
- [134:27]
B
It's the nicest thing you've ever said to me, actually, which is.
- [134:30]
A
That's the only thing you have in common with the baby Jesus.
- [134:33]
B
But can we. Can we make one thing clear here? That in on the last program, after 28 years, I blubbered like a fool on the air, and Glenn just made a bunch of jokes, and. And it was out in five minutes. I mean, what happened there? I can't even.
- [134:50]
A
Because I knew. Because this week. I mean, I had a really hard time holding it together this week, this whole weekend. I mean, I wrote to Sarah every day this week, and I'm like, I don't know how to do this. Help me, help me, help me. And. And so I decided that. Because I know that you are not an emotional person and you don't like it to get emotional. So I decided just to go. I became you. I did your job. I just slammed you every. Every moment I could to keep us both from crying.
- [135:23]
B
I will say, when I. When I finally ended that thing and you looked at that microphone, and I'm like, he's gonna absolutely drop a bomb on me right now, isn't he? I thought you were just gonna go totally the opposite direction and just slam me. I'm glad you at least said a few nice things there before the firing reference difference at the end.
- [135:41]
A
That was good. I mean, I.
- [135:43]
B
You had to.
- [135:44]
E
You had to.
- [135:44]
B
I. I would have been disappointed.
- [135:46]
A
Something heartfelt, but I had to drop the bomb. And that was the only sincere part of that that I. That I actually really deeply meant.
- [135:54]
I
I want to go back to the comments section here. This one's coming from Christopher. A lot of people, I think, were tuning in after you actually mentioned the website. And this is coming from Christopher. He just said. He just got on and he wanted to know what the website was and the best way that he can tune into your next project.
- [136:10]
H
People just logging on, asking for this.
- [136:12]
B
Yes, just be quiet, Jeffy. I have to. I have a job that I'm supposed to have here in a very short period of time. Yeah. Predictableshow.com, it's a show about prediction markets and the news that wraps around them. I'm going to be talking about a lot of the same things that we talk about on the radio show every day. Slightly different perspective though looking at them through the lens of whatever Kalshi Poly Market, these big prediction markets markets. There are opportunities I think for us to drill down and get a lot more truth than we get from the media and opportunities to maybe profit a little bit off of this. Jeffy's run many successful businesses, drug dealers.
- [136:50]
A
And trafficking. Don't get used to that website predictableshow.com because I think it's going to be predictableshow Cayman.
- [137:02]
I
That's actually a very good point that jumps right to. And this is a question for Glenn. User Steven3867 said, My question is for Glenn. Are you, Glenn are going to bail Stu out of debt over this gambling thing?
- [137:13]
B
It's not a gambling thing.
- [137:16]
A
You gotta let him fail. You gotta let him fail. Little birdie slept in S. You gotta let him fail. You fly or you fall to the ground.
- [137:22]
B
But I've been putting on weight and I am now too big to fail. So please continue to. But no, the show by the way, is predictableshow.com. you can go there, you can sign up, we'll give you all the updates. But YouTube.com studiosamerica is eventually where the show's going to live. So if you're here and you want to watch the show on a day to day basis, go over to YouTube. There's a bunch of other distribution stuff that we're going to be announcing. But as of right now, go to YouTube.com studozoesamerica you'll get the show that we're doing now for a while and get the predictable show after that. So. So would appreciate it if you're on YouTube right now watching. Hop on over, do a little subscription thing.
- [138:00]
A
Can I ask you a question? I'm sorry, I was listening to you, I really was.
- [138:02]
B
Sure.
- [138:04]
A
But I just saw up at Fox News Trump signs an executive order launching an IndyCar race in D.C. i mean this guy is amazing. Does that mean it's gonna be like what is the race in France where they're racing them in the streets? Yeah.
- [138:23]
B
Or like F1 now.
- [138:26]
A
Yeah, yeah.
- [138:27]
H
I mean, is that F1? Is that going to be in the streets already?
- [138:31]
C
Yeah.
- [138:32]
B
No. Yeah, but they do it on laps, don't they?
- [138:37]
A
Yeah. And they do it in laps. I mean they do it on tracks. I'm asking, is this going to be.
- [138:41]
H
In D.C. well, yeah, I mean the. They. They have the. The races in the cities where they set it up.
- [138:47]
E
Yeah. Does that.
- [138:50]
B
In D.C. it would be a 14 mile an hour top speed with bullets flying through the windows, but. Oh yeah, that's right.
- [138:58]
H
That's the safest city.
- [139:00]
B
Wait a minute.
- [139:00]
A
We've got a congressman. We got a yellow flag. A congressman is, is crossing the streets. Will all the drivers see the yellow flag?
- [139:08]
B
Oh, they're all accelerating.
- [139:11]
A
I wouldn't watch that.
- [139:14]
I
I want to jump out of the comments really quick and just let everyone know that you can also call in if you haven't called in, put the comment. The lines are filling up very fast, but I want to jump right now to Christopher from Florida, line 11. Christopher, how you doing?
- [139:29]
D
Hey guys. What a great show. What a great way to end. I'm just going to tell you a hysterical story that happened around 15 years ago. You guys used to do this. His bit called moron trivia. Remember it? It was pure gold.
- [139:47]
A
So at the time you still do it, don't you?
- [139:50]
E
We stopped about a year ago. Yeah. Because you can't do it anymore. Yeah, you just can't do it anymore. Nobody answers their phone so.
- [139:58]
A
Well, it's too bad because it was the funniest thing ever.
- [140:00]
E
That was great.
- [140:01]
D
You know, at the time I had a security job guarding ballerinas and I was standing in the theater doing during their rehearsal as these girls were dancing and I had my earphones and I'm listening to your show and you guys had a waitress on from Baltimore on the phone and the question that she was going to be asked was about an art museum in Paris. And Glenn asks her, where's the Louvre? And she answered, it's in the drawer in the nightstand.
- [140:32]
H
Yeah, that's right.
- [140:33]
A
Yeah, I remember that.
- [140:35]
E
Oh, man.
- [140:36]
A
Oh, that's priceless. Funny, Christopher. Thank you.
- [140:41]
I
Thanks, Chris. I want to head over now to Alec. Alec, line four.
- [140:48]
E
Good morning.
- [140:49]
A
Hey, Alec.
- [140:49]
H
Hello.
- [140:49]
D
To be afternoon now.
- [140:52]
A
Yeah.
- [140:52]
D
Glenn, longtime listener. Love the show. Thanks for telling the truth and letting us decide what we believe and make out of it.
- [141:03]
A
Thank you.
- [141:04]
D
Beyond that, Stu, you're gonna be miss.
- [141:06]
A
You are.
- [141:07]
D
You're hilarious, man. You're one of. One of the biggest reasons I tune into the show because you're so witty and funny.
- [141:14]
A
Hang up on this.
- [141:15]
B
Don't hang up on.
- [141:16]
D
Absolutely, absolutely. Again, love the show. Long time listener. I'm gonna leave politics out for today. Today's fun and good luck in all your endeavors for and hope to hear from you again soon.
- [141:31]
A
Thanks.
- [141:31]
B
Thank you, man. I really appreciate that. Thank you for Calling in.
- [141:33]
H
Oh, look, I just got a text, by the way, asking me, Stu, what are you doing next?
- [141:38]
A
Oh, thank you.
- [141:41]
I
You know, thanks, thanks, thanks for that, Jeffy. That I actually have a comment directed directly at you. This comes from Mark Spocks. He said, now if I could only miss Jeffy as well.
- [141:51]
B
That would be really hard to do, but it's possible, I guess. I don't know.
- [141:54]
E
You can't miss somebody when they won't go away.
- [141:57]
B
That's the problem.
- [141:57]
A
I know. You know, man, I want to take Terry in Arizona. I think this one is good. Go ahead, Terry.
- [142:03]
D
Hey guys, enough of the waterworks. You're making Tim Wolf look like Rambo.
- [142:09]
B
So pathetic.
- [142:10]
D
Now this is a call for every one of you guys to kind of perky up on this day. Stu.
- [142:17]
B
Yes.
- [142:18]
D
You are leaving at the worst time. You have listened to Pat's show over the last couple weeks. Pat and Jeffrey have one foot in the grave and another on the banana. Gofundme to have an EMT guy.
- [142:39]
H
Thank you.
- [142:40]
E
Please do.
- [142:42]
H
Yeah, that would be helpful. We need it.
- [142:43]
B
It's a good idea.
- [142:44]
E
You know what a good idea, Gary.
- [142:45]
A
I, I, I tuned in. I listen to these guys every morning when I'm getting ready for my show. And I'm listening this morning, I hear Pat say something. And I hate to say Pat, how relatable it was. I know, I'm sure he said I hurt. This how old I'm getting. I hurt myself sleeping last night and.
- [143:03]
E
I did, I literally did. I wake up, I get out of bed, I was fine last night. I get out of bed this morning, I can't walk. Hurts so bad. I'm limping around trying to get my clothes on and come into work.
- [143:18]
H
I will say whipping around like this.
- [143:21]
B
So they were you hurt your knee while sleeping?
- [143:23]
E
While sleeping.
- [143:24]
B
Sleeping.
- [143:24]
A
Sometimes.
- [143:25]
B
This is one of the things I will say. One of the most interesting things about doing this show with these gentlemen over all these years is getting a preview about how bad my health is going to be. Like I have, I have a few year window of realizing what's going to break inside of me. And it's happening, it's all happening right on time. Right on time.
- [143:43]
A
Change. I mean, I'm telling you, Scrooge change. You could still change your ways.
- [143:48]
E
We were in our early and mid-20s when we first got together in Baltimore.
- [143:52]
A
Yeah, yeah.
- [143:53]
E
Glenn and I and look what's happened. Falling completely apart.
- [143:58]
B
Yeah.
- [143:58]
E
So yeah, I saw some right around.
- [143:59]
A
The corner, some of those videos today and that, you know, with the stew Montage, and I'm. Who the hell was that? Yeah, I mean, I look like I was 10.
- [144:09]
E
Yeah, definitely.
- [144:10]
B
Some of the clips that they were posting, the old shows, they, it sounds so different. I mean, it's just been such a weird, long, long road. I was thinking too, about Pat. The first time I ever met Pat was we were doing Glenn. I don't know, maybe you remember, it was, it was an anniversary show for your morning show in New Haven, and I had left by then. Yeah, you came back to like, hey, you know, Pat's back in town.
- [144:33]
E
Yeah.
- [144:33]
B
And I remember doing that show. We had a big audience there. It was like a really cool thing. And actually, like, it was really early in my career, you know, and Pat, actually, because I think I always credit Pat for this, of like, saying something really complimentary to Glenn about me that day. And like, it was a, it made a huge difference to me.
- [144:55]
E
Really? Did it really? Really.
- [144:56]
B
It did. You, you, you like, you, you know, you're like.
- [144:59]
A
Well, you mean a huge difference in your life or I looked at you differently.
- [145:02]
B
I, I, I, I don't know. I mean, I was still in that period. Like, I, who knew if I was ever going to turn, you know, I, it was, I was maybe I might have been six months.
- [145:10]
E
I remember that too, because I was so impressed with you at the time.
- [145:13]
A
You, you said to say something.
- [145:15]
B
Yeah, I know.
- [145:17]
E
I had to say, you are responsible for that.
- [145:20]
B
But I always felt like that, that gave me, me a little bit of like, I mean, you know, Glenn was always very helpful, but, like, you know, to have like, someone else who's a, you know, big star, like Pat Gray, say something like that, I think, you know, helped my, helped my credibility a little bit. So thank you, Pat. And Jeffy, the one story I wanted to tell. Oh, I don't have any good stories at all. Sorry, Jeffy.
- [145:43]
H
That's okay. No problem.
- [145:46]
I
I just want to remind you, everyone, right now, no matter what platform you're watching on, get into the comments. You are directing this Q and A session. You are communicating directly to them. Let me know what you want to know about. Also, call in. The number to call in is 1-887-27, Beck. My goal is to get to every single one of these calls, so call in and I will try to get you on immediately. So this, the next comment I want to read is from Kara 57111 because she talked about, she was talking about her favorite moment moments listening to you guys on the radio. She mentions more on trivia and a Couple of others it reminded me of. My favorite one by far was when you guys were talking to. Was it Gadon, the al Qaeda spokesman? That was my absolute.
- [146:30]
B
The American bring your sailors.
- [146:35]
E
Hairdressers, interior.
- [146:38]
A
Decorators.
- [146:40]
I
So on and so forth from.
- [146:42]
E
F1 to stand to Zanzibar.
- [146:46]
D
Our.
- [146:46]
A
Our wives absolutely hate it when we talk like this. They just get so skeeved out. They're like, stop talking like that, Please. Please. We're like, what, you don't find this terribly sexy?
- [147:01]
H
We lost them, though.
- [147:02]
B
We did lose him. Yeah.
- [147:05]
I
Kara was like, we know what our favorites are. She wanted to know each from each one of you, what are your favorite or most memorable moments together?
- [147:12]
B
Oh, my God.
- [147:13]
E
Oh, wow. That. I'd have to think about that.
- [147:16]
B
That would be a tough one to think. We've gone through so many, you know.
- [147:18]
A
Something I thought about. Something I thought about every really all day. Today was at Fox in the morning in my office as the sun's coming up, up. Getting counsel from these men and then getting on our knees and praying every day. That's one of my. My favorite memories as a behind the scenes. And Stu was never in there, first of all.
- [147:45]
E
Never in there.
- [147:46]
B
Not true. If I remember correctly. I know it was there because I remember Jeffy particularly catching on fire.
- [147:52]
E
He was spontaneously combusted every morning about.
- [147:56]
H
That time, you guys get down on your knees and start praying. I'm not doing it.
- [148:00]
A
Yeah, put him out. Not with the holy water.
- [148:05]
B
That's a totally normal corporate structure, by the way. Most people are used to that. You go in, you get into the first meeting of the day, and you say a prayer. Although maybe the country would be in a better place if people actually did do that. I will say so. Yeah. Actually, the thing I think about most as a favorite moment is about to happen when I walk out that door. Because when this. When you guys are all just left behind for eternity, that's the number. That's kind of the day I've been thinking about as a favorite.
- [148:35]
E
Well, that's beautiful.
- [148:35]
B
Thank you.
- [148:36]
E
That's nice. That's really nice. Thank you, Stu.
- [148:39]
I
I want to head back over to some of the callers specifically. I'm calling this one because this one hits my heartstrings, but Kelly from California. Kelly, how you doing?
- [148:49]
J
Oh, thank you so much for taking my call. I have been listening to you guys since 2008, when my son left the Marine Corps and came back safely. You have made me laugh and cry, and I prayed for you, all of you, and I thank you so Much. I'm looking forward to hearing about what you guys are doing next. And I just. I'm in California.
- [149:08]
D
We're going.
- [149:09]
J
We're moving to Idaho. My kids are up there where we're packing up right now. We're moving to Emmett.
- [149:15]
A
Oh, where is Emmett, Pat?
- [149:18]
J
North of Meridian. It's a very.
- [149:19]
B
Oh, it's north of Meridian. Emmett is north of Meridian. Everyone remember the song?
- [149:26]
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's just. That's just southeast, about 20 miles from M Lab. Right.
- [149:33]
H
Right there on the hand.
- [149:34]
B
Yeah.
- [149:37]
J
Well, thank you very much. My kids moved us. They're very happy in Lovett, and they were born and bred here in California, and we're moving, and they had five grandkids, and God, listen. God gave us a house next door with matching pastures.
- [149:54]
E
Wow, that's nice.
- [149:55]
A
Wow.
- [149:57]
J
And heading north. But thank you so much, and I'm looking forward to continuing on and listening and just. I've never called before. I've been with you since Victor.
- [150:05]
D
Okay. Oh, wow.
- [150:07]
E
Oh, yeah. That's a sad memory.
- [150:12]
J
And so, you know, thank you so much, and God bless you on your journeys, you guys.
- [150:15]
A
God bless you, Kelly, and it'll be nice to have you as a neighbor up in Idaho. I'm up there, you know, about four months out of the year, and it's a great place. The people are great up there. You're gonna love it. Thank you so much.
- [150:28]
I
Jumping back into your comments, this is a comment, a question, actually, for Glenn. David wants to know who is stepping in for Stu, or is anyone stepping.
- [150:37]
A
Nobody. No, nobody's stepping in for Stu. I. You know, I just don't think anybody can. I mean, we've talked about this. I mean, Pat and I talked about this. I mean, it's 30 years of experience, and it's. I mean, think of this. There's. There are times that stu says maybe 12 words a show. Those are very expensive words. Words. But he'll say. There'll be shows where he says 12, you know, maybe 12 words a show, and. And they're really, really good. The. For. To get somebody. To get somebody of his talent. To get somebody of his talent and then to have him with all of the institutional knowledge of exactly how I work and to get somebody of his talent to sit there and on days when you say 12 words, they'd lose their mind. They'd absolutely lose their mind. Stu never had one to begin with, so there wasn't a loss there. So I just don't think anybody can replace him.
- [151:44]
I
So this question, another going right back to the comments. This is a question from Steven. I don't even remember this specific instance, but I'm sure you do. Steven wants to know, Stu, did you have any side effects, effects after drinking that insecticide?
- [151:57]
B
Aha. It was actually round. Yeah, it was herbicide. Roundup. Yes, Roundup. No, no, no. No side effects whatsoever from that. A lot of people ask about was.
- [152:10]
A
I mean, he is in a wheelchair now. Well, but you can't prove it was Roundup.
- [152:17]
B
That's exactly. At least that's what the company told me.
- [152:21]
A
Right.
- [152:21]
B
Wait, there was an exact quote. So, yes, no, I'm still alive. Still ticking again. Things are deteriorating slowly, but I think the normal, typical demise of humans is going on with me.
- [152:34]
I
This question comes from autumn. 216011. Autumn wants to know the background of the Steve stew, how that whole thing happened, but she wants to know it from both of your perspectives, from both Glenn and Stu's.
- [152:49]
B
So you want the. The truth and then what Glenn says.
- [152:57]
A
My perception has become everyone's reality.
- [152:59]
B
Oh, it's.
- [153:00]
H
It's true.
- [153:00]
B
It's true.
- [153:01]
A
Yeah. My. My recollection of this is that I had a good friend, Vinnie Penn, who. Who replaced Pat on the show because Pat quit it. Boy, it seems to be a pattern with my friends, doesn't it?
- [153:16]
E
Doesn't it?
- [153:18]
B
What's the common denominator in the. In all of those incidents?
- [153:20]
A
Well, he had a good reason. He had a good reason. I was killing him. I was at the height of my alcoholism and he was like, glenn, I can't watch you kill yourself anymore. I can't do it anymore. I show up to watch. So he had a reason. Anyway, so Vinnie Penn replaces him, and Vinnie is. I mean, I. As I'm sobering up, I replaced Pat with a. With a drunk. I mean, he was. I mean, he wasn't technically a drunk, but he loved to drink. He was very young, and he was funny as hell. Oh, yeah, still is. And. And so my recollection is I was introduced to Stu by Vinnie at some promotion where Vinnie had a lot to drink. And he was like, let. And he may have said Steve or was trying to say Steve, but all I heard was Stu. And I was like, oh, hey, Stu, nice to meet you. And now a normal human being says, no, I'm sorry, it's Steve. That didn't happen. That didn't happen for months. That didn't happen. He's on the air and I make fun of his name at some point, and he's like, well, it would be funny if that were my name. And I'm like, what the hell are you even talking about? And he's like, that's not my name.
- [154:34]
B
I said.
- [154:34]
A
Said.
- [154:35]
B
Well, first of all, that's how all.
- [154:36]
A
Of us know you now. Even his wife knows him as Stu. And he was like. I just didn't. I didn't. I didn't want to say anything at first. And then it got really awkward. And so I never said anything.
- [154:50]
B
This. So do we fact check the story? I mean, do I just let it roll the way that it is.
- [154:57]
A
Different?
- [154:57]
E
Because that's a story I've always known.
- [154:59]
B
It's. I mean, he's in the realm of reality. And it's funny because Vinnie, you mentioned he's writing a book about this time in New Haven.
- [155:09]
A
It's funny.
- [155:10]
B
Very funny. Going through the, you know, few years there when we were in New Haven.
- [155:15]
A
What is it called? My prison sentence with Gwen or something?
- [155:17]
B
Something like that. Yes. I don't remember something like that.
- [155:20]
A
It's actually very funny. I can't. I. I can neither confirm nor deny a word of it is true. But it's very funny.
- [155:25]
B
I'm no idea. But he actually tells the story totally wrong in the book too, which is funny. But it. What happened, what actually occurred. And by the way, we should point out, drunk over here and drunk over there were the other two people who were.
- [155:39]
A
Remember this story? No, but when we met, I was never. I. You never knew me drunk.
- [155:44]
B
I actually.
- [155:45]
A
Never. That's the.
- [155:46]
B
That is actually true. I never saw a glimpse drink this. I did come along after. But you still had killed all your brain cells.
- [155:52]
E
Yeah, I saw.
- [155:53]
B
Yeah, yeah, but he killed all the brain cells with Pat. And then I was left with, you know, the words that were left.
- [155:58]
A
Get to your story for the love of me.
- [156:01]
B
So I went to a gig at a bar in New Haven. And Vinny did come up to me. That part is true. He was the one, the polite one that came up and introduced himself to the new employee. Unlike the other guy that was there. And Vinnie said, hey, what's your name? And I said, steve. And he heard st. And then he assumed it was Stu. That lasted a very short time. He later that evening was absolutely aware my name was Steve. He later that evening thought, said again, Stu. And I said, no, it's Steve.
- [156:35]
E
He goes, oh, no. Well, you look like a Stu. I'm calling you Stu.
- [156:38]
B
And just stuck by it as a joke. He knew what my name was the entire time. Then he kept calling me Stu. And I was in. I at the. that point, I already knew the joke, you know, I mean, I knew he was doing this to me and he was just going to torture me by calling me Stu. But you are so oblivious to the.
- [156:53]
E
World that you didn't know the joke.
- [156:55]
B
And thought that was my name.
- [156:56]
A
Nobody told me the joke. Nobody told me the joke, but I just assumed you. Is it when somebody comes up. When somebody comes up and is like, hey, it's Stu. I like you to meet Stu. That's a funny joke when his name is Steve. What. I mean, what kind of joke is.
- [157:12]
B
I didn't say it was his best material.
- [157:13]
E
Material.
- [157:14]
B
It wasn't. He just thought it was a funny thing to torture me by calling me.
- [157:20]
A
The wrong name, but by saying that to me, that I had some. That I was oblivious. Who says? Come on, your name's not really.
- [157:29]
B
I thought. I just thought. I don't know. I thought you were aware enough to pick it up. And apparently you know me better than that. Well, no, I didn't then, though now I definitely do.
- [157:40]
H
Glenn's taking credit for this, which isn't true, of course.
- [157:43]
B
And I should point out the other part about this is. I don't know.
- [157:46]
A
I said something about his name, and.
- [157:48]
B
Then he said, that's. I would be funny if that was my name. I know what you said about my name. Would you like to hear the material Glenn was churning out at the end of his career?
- [157:57]
A
Stu?
- [157:58]
E
Stew.
- [157:58]
B
I mean, what is that? Like the stew? Like the stew that you eat? What did your mom on the way home from the hospital have?
- [158:06]
A
Stew.
- [158:07]
B
That was the joke that led to that moment.
- [158:10]
A
That was a high level of good morning. Admittedly, my career was over. Over.
- [158:19]
H
Let's check it on traffic.
- [158:22]
B
I don't even think he bothered checking in with traffic at that point in his career, but. So that was the truth.
- [158:27]
E
That was. That was the time when he know how you. At the end of every song, he would say it was that guy. And he didn't even know the name of the artist, even though it was written on the cartridge that we were playing.
- [158:40]
B
Yeah, that was a super, super.
- [158:43]
A
Super classic. What's Her Faces? That's. What's Her Face's biggest hit yet. And it's just super, super classic. I enjoy every one of her album.
- [158:55]
E
I mean, really, that was every song, every time, right? Yep.
- [159:01]
B
Yeah. Another thing I had a problem with the Japanese book was that he was saying that you showed up on time. That is a massive rewrite of history. That's like a book right out of Nick Fuentes's by, you know, freaking history collection.
- [159:15]
A
History by Nick Fuentes. Glenn showed up on time. I was sometimes an hour late.
- [159:21]
B
Oh, there were times where I would have to because I wouldn't.
- [159:25]
E
Because he was drunk.
- [159:26]
B
It was because he was just lazy getting care.
- [159:28]
E
He didn't care.
- [159:29]
B
It wasn't even laziness. He had plenty of ambition to do other things, just not the job he was getting paid for.
- [159:33]
E
I think at that time he wanted to be a chef.
- [159:36]
A
Right.
- [159:36]
E
Isn't that.
- [159:37]
B
There was a chef period.
- [159:38]
E
There was a real strong chef period.
- [159:41]
A
Because I didn't think I wanted to do radio anymore because I was like so sick of it. It was my father that saved me.
- [159:46]
B
Yeah.
- [159:46]
A
My father doomed me. Whichever way you want to look at.
- [159:49]
B
It or do the country.
- [159:51]
A
I, you know, I knew what I wanted to be when I was eight. And so here I, I am, 30, washed up, you know, alcoholic, miserable. And I'm like, I said to my dad, I don't want to do this anymore. I just can't do it. And he said, son, you've known what you've wanted to do. You're just doing it the wrong way. Find the things that interest you and talk about those things.
- [160:09]
E
Yeah, that's great.
- [160:10]
A
And so he's the one who, he's the one who caused all this, not me.
- [160:14]
E
Yeah.
- [160:15]
B
Apologize to the nation. Uh huh.
- [160:18]
A
Yeah.
- [160:19]
I
If you want to call in, the number is 886727 Beck. Phone lines are filling up. Speaking of filling up, all the comments right now are just absolutely insane on just different skits that you guys have done over the past. And Robert wants to know, he said, for old time's sake, please talk about the backstory of the cocaine diet. I have no idea what that is. Cocaine.
- [160:41]
B
See, that's what I mean. I think I don't even remember half of these things.
- [160:46]
A
Was that, Wait, wait, wait. Was that when I was going on CNN and I, and you, I mean I was, I am 225 pounds now. When I was on CNN, I was thin 205.
- [161:00]
B
I wouldn't even go lower. You look when I, when I watched some early CNN footage, you were like, I'm going to be on television, I need to be in shape, I need to be thin. I'm not going to eat until I'm on television.
- [161:11]
A
Right. And I think I started with, you know, I'm on an all cocaine diet. I think that's what I, I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but Then later, remember I asked the fattest listeners, CNN love this.
- [161:23]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [161:24]
A
I asked the fattest listeners and viewers, I said, there is nothing better to, to hit your goal of weight loss than knowing you're going to be on TV in six months. So if you want to lose weight, send me a picture of you and then in, tell me your goal and then, and show me you on the scale and then I'm gonna see. And then in six months, you send me a picture of you. Picture of you on the scale. If you haven't hit your weight, I run the fat picture on tv.
- [161:51]
B
That was a great idea. Did it work? It must have worked. I feel like it must have worked.
- [161:55]
A
It must have worked. I don't even remember. It must have worked.
- [161:57]
B
We probably just forgot about it. All the, all the brain cells were already dead.
- [162:00]
A
Do you remember, do you remember when I was at CNN and we said we were doing pitchforks and torches and they got so mad at us because their, they, their mailroom was full of pitchforks. Oh, yeah, they were so pissed. And when we, when we switched from Sienna to Fox, they sent all the pitchforks over to the Fox mail room just to piss them off.
- [162:22]
B
Oh, yeah, that's right. I, I feel like we've made the mistake multiple times of asking for things to be sent in. I always feel like that always.
- [162:30]
A
Turns out my favorite was, you know, you don't give your postman enough credit. I'm telling you, you could send a raw egg through the mail in a regular envelope and they will deliver it unbroken. I'm going to fact, I'm going to offer $1,000 for the first unbroken mail. Unbroken egg that comes through the mail and just a regular non padded envelope. The postal service came out and I mean, I thought I was going to jail. They were like, you are wrecking all of our post machines. And I'm like, hey, that's not my fault. You're breaking them. You're breaking the eggs, not me.
- [163:11]
I
I want to head back over to the phones really quick because speaking of crazy. Oh, notorious or notorious things that Mr. Stu has done over the years, including one that made international news. I want to go to Jason in Kentucky. Jason, how you doing, buddy?
- [163:26]
D
Doing great. Great. Thanks for having me on here. Love the show, guys. Big fan.
- [163:30]
A
Thanks, Jason.
- [163:31]
D
Just, just like Glenn has gone through the years, all these crazy stories, getting caught on TV at the Vatican, etc. My favorite story was with Stu catching the ball at the ball game.
- [163:44]
B
Oh, at the Blue Jays game? Yes. In Toronto. That's.
- [163:48]
E
That was not that long ago. When was that really?
- [163:50]
H
It was 18.
- [163:51]
A
That's long. Long time ago.
- [163:52]
B
That wasn't a bit 14 or 15.
- [163:55]
E
Was it that long ago?
- [163:56]
A
My gosh.
- [163:56]
B
Yeah.
- [163:57]
E
That was an actual thing, though. That was not a bit.
- [164:00]
B
That was not a bit. I actually did catch a ball at a Blue Jays game. Well, I didn't think I was in play. I apparently did reach over the railing a little bit a tad and robbed the Tampa Bay race first baseman from making a cat catch, which he was going to make anyway. I don't know why I made such a big deal about it. And then I. I remember being completely sure that I did not cross into the play. The field of play. And I. And the guy came over and he was talking to me. I'm like, I did not go over the line. I was. I was fine. I was fine. And. And I sat back down and I was complaining to people around me. I'm like, this is unbelievable. And they were all like, you know, they're cheered. And it was. It was really fun. And then we sat back down. And then I'm like, I gotta look at this. And I look at the. I looked at the replay. I was. It had to be four feet over the fence. I mean, so for some reason, there's a cameraman who's paralyzed. He's sitting below the fence and has a shot directly up the fence to just see me reach way over and grab the thing. And they were making. You know, I was on Sports Center. I was on the Canadian Sports center there.
- [165:04]
E
That's when you became a Canadian Canadian sports celebrity. Celebrity, yeah.
- [165:08]
B
Yeah, that was. It was a. Quite a. Quite a. They did not kick me out. I still have the ball, by the way. They did not kick me out of the seat even. I can't even imagine.
- [165:15]
H
And now, amazing, because they normally kick you out of the stadium.
- [165:18]
B
Totally.
- [165:19]
E
Was that a home run for them?
- [165:20]
B
No, it was just a foul ball. It was a foul ball. But the funny part about this, because this lives on in my life all the time because as my son plays baseball, he is a good baseball player. And so that's a big part of his time, is playing basically baseball. And I'm friends with a lot of the baseball dads. And, you know, every, like, month or two, I get a text from one of the baseball dads. I was just on YouTube and I was watching this video, MLB's worst fans. And I think I saw you, like.
- [165:51]
A
Over and over and over again. Can I tell you something? One of the proudest moments, the biggest Thing that used to, I think, ever did for me was you washed the. The first pitch at. Was it the Angels game?
- [166:08]
B
Oh, yeah, yeah.
- [166:09]
A
I gave the first pitch, and it was horrible. I'll never forget. I mean, I did get it over the plate or to the plate.
- [166:15]
B
To the plate. You dreaded that for months. Remember, we tortured him about that.
- [166:20]
E
Yeah.
- [166:20]
A
I've never played baseball. I've never thrown a baseball in my life. I know.
- [166:24]
E
We could tell.
- [166:26]
A
Yeah, I know. Well, you remember what the. Remember what the pitching coach said there? I was throwing the baseball, you know, beforehand, I'm throwing it to somebody, and the. The pitching coach says, why the hell is he throwing with his left hand? And my friend said, he's landed. Anyway, his response was, holy Jesus. But I don't think you can even find that. I don't think. Think that's anywhere now, because I remember saying to you, you've got to make that go away. Go away, go away.
- [166:57]
B
And we wanted to make such a big deal about it, and you were like. It was the. Maybe the one time I feel like you really wanted that to go away. That was like almost. You know, you will take a beating on almost anything. You'll make us. You'll let us make fun of you for something that is intensely personal for years on end. That one you did.
- [167:16]
A
That's one of the most humiliating things in my life. Only because it goes to childhood. You know what I mean? It just goes to childhood. But I do remember. I do remember Pat saying, glenn, it could have been worse. We have compared it. You were actually better than Obama.
- [167:32]
E
Wow.
- [167:33]
H
Is that actually true? Are you just making him feel good?
- [167:36]
B
I believe that.
- [167:37]
E
No, it's really true. I mean, Obama was worse than Glenn.
- [167:41]
B
And he's weird because Obama was such an athlete.
- [167:47]
A
His wife's arms. Yeah, right.
- [167:49]
E
Yes, exactly.
- [167:51]
I
I want to stick to the phones here, because actually, I'm looking at both the comments and the phones right now, and the comments are just flooded with people being very appreciative of just everything that Stu has brought them over the years. And that goes right into Michael from Colorado. Michael, you're on with the boys.
- [168:07]
B
Hi.
- [168:08]
D
Thank you so much for taking my call. First of all, Stu, I just want to say I'm actually 29 years old, and I so much appreciate your enduring impact you've had on my generation, which is millennials. And obviously, Glenn, I grew up watching you, so thank you so much. And I did have a quick question for Stu I'd love to get your creative insight on. So, Stu, I Wanted to ask you, how do you think interest can be rekindled or regenerated in talk radio, again, with young people, Much like interest with young people is kind of being generated with podcasts or YouTube.
- [168:42]
J
And do you feel that there's still.
- [168:43]
D
A realistic opportunity to do that as far as making talk radio, you know, appealing and fun and interesting to the Gen Z population and millennials?
- [168:53]
B
That's a great question. I like that. That's like that. That's real work. You're making me work here on this day. That's. That's awesome. Yeah. I really do think that that's possible, and I think it happens. You know, the podcast thing has obviously been the target for younger people. They're used to listening that way and consuming that way. But, you know, I do think that there is a. I think, honestly, like, people just not doing the same thing all the time would help that. And I, you know, I love a lot of the. There's a lot of hosts out there that are great and they do great things, but I do think that a lot of it can get stale if you kind of keep doing the same thing over and over again. I know we've tried to do different things over the years, and, you know, I'm trying to do. With this new thing, predictableshow.com or Studios America on YouTube trying to do something different, and I think that's going to be needed. I mean, Glenn, you're in the radio hall of Fame. Is it savable?
- [169:49]
A
Oh, yeah, it's savable. I mean, the thing is, though, I mean, this is the one thing that the audience I think likes and also hates is that I'm constantly changing. You're doing the same thing. We don't do the same thing we've always done. We try not to.
- [170:02]
B
To.
- [170:03]
A
Because a. I just get too bored doing it. But I think, you know, I think we are entering a time where the men are going to be separated from the boys here quickly in the next three years. And I don't think it matters whether it's radio or podcast. The thing of radio is, is that it is immediate. It. It has to reflect what's happening right now where a podcast is not like that and we're trying to blur the lines, you know, of between the two. But it's extraordinarily difficult because they're completely different financial models. You know, they have to pay for all of those transmitters and everything else. But, you know, that's the biggest thing that. That hurts talk radio is that it just. It has to pay for all of those stations all across the country. Otherwise, I think it would be a lot faster to adapt. And I just. I wish more people would go into radio. If you can do radio, you can do anything. Literally anything. You go into tv, you can't do radio, you go into podcasting, you can't do radio, you do radio, you can do podcasting, you can do television, you can do stage, you can do anything. Radio is the hardest medium that I've ever done, and I. I stand by that because I know so many people who have tried all of them, and then they get to radio and they're like, this is not what I was bargaining for. This is way too hard.
- [171:34]
E
Ask Alec about that.
- [171:36]
B
Oh, yeah, I can tell you.
- [171:38]
E
He can tell you how hard radio is. Yeah. Wish we had that little clip here to play it just. He thought it was going to be a breeze and fell flat on his face and then never did it again. As far as I know. He never. He did that one trial night on.
- [171:54]
H
Is it in Philadelphia.
- [171:55]
E
Some Philadelphia station.
- [171:57]
A
Yeah.
- [171:57]
E
And couldn't do it. Could not do it.
- [172:00]
B
But did go on to some great things, like killing people.
- [172:02]
E
Yeah, he did.
- [172:03]
A
He did. You know, but, you know, but Joe Scarborough is still looking to figure out how to put a third hour together, that's for sure.
- [172:11]
I
Sure.
- [172:11]
H
He still is. He has not figured it out yet.
- [172:14]
B
No, figured it out during a hiatus. They'll get there.
- [172:16]
H
Yeah, he left.
- [172:17]
A
He left. He left radio. He did it for like a year, and it was a total disaster. And he said, and his thing was, is we're looking to figure out how I can do a third hour. Like, well, nobody wanted two. But he's trying to figure out how to figure out. Here's how you do it. You just add another hour at the end of one. Pretty easy.
- [172:34]
E
Joe, it was so great to have the morning man on his own station, Don Imus, talking about that. Weren't they on?
- [172:45]
A
I missed Don so much. I wish I asked him right before I died or right before he died. I said, don, please, please. I'll dedicate all of the proceeds to charity. Please let me release our emails and our text messages back and forth from one another. And he got really serious and he said, said, no, I will sue you. The family, the estate will sue you if you ever do it. I'm like, don, it is so hilarious. Please. And he's like, no. And it's the one thing, if I could share anything with the audience, it would be those exchanges. They were the funniest exchanges, just hysterical. Just, and dark. Mean.
- [173:25]
B
Oh, my God.
- [173:26]
E
Funny.
- [173:28]
H
Let's do it.
- [173:29]
A
His last, last, his last text to me was him in the hospital looking like absolute garbage. Hoses in his nose and everything else just looking like garbage. And it's just the photo of him. And the, the line underneath was, at least I'm not fat like you.
- [173:54]
E
So funny.
- [173:54]
B
You know, it's funny, but because of all the times that we always wreck each other for just absolute nonsense and, you know, it's all just nonsense. But, like, a lot. I think, at least very early part of that for me was Imus. I mean, I listened to Imus all the time as a kid, and I remember just loving when they would just attack each other constantly. And we brought that the same thing, I think, at some level, at least to this.
- [174:18]
A
Do you, do you remember the first time I was on with Imus? How afraid I was? I was so terrified.
- [174:23]
B
Yes, I was terrified.
- [174:25]
A
I, I, I sat there and I thought, this guy could tear me apart so fast. And I thought, I've listened to him for years. The guests he likes are the ones that just rip into him. And I think, I, I think the first thing I said to him, he's like, let's welcome Glenn Beck, Glenn. And I said, don, it's an honor to be here. I didn't even know you were still alive. And, and he looked at me like, all right, brother.
- [174:53]
B
Okay, okay.
- [174:54]
A
And then, I mean, we just immediately hit it off.
- [174:57]
B
Oh, God. Legend. A legend.
- [174:59]
A
So great. Legend.
- [175:00]
I
I want to dip right back real quick into the comments. There are a ton of these comments. I just want to read this comment really quick because it's very, it's very, it's very common from, I mean, this huge scroll right now of everyone saying, I'm gonna read this comment and then go into, into a question. Patty said, stu, congrats on your new business venture. Echoing all the comments. You will be missed. Thanks for all the laughs, especially more on trivia and your emotional send off. God bless you. God bless your family, Glenn, Pat, Jeffy, and the entire staff at the Glenn Beck Program.
- [175:31]
B
Thank you so much.
- [175:32]
A
Now you're asking God to bless all of these people. I mean, he doesn't have time to bless all of us. Can you put prioritize, prioritize.
- [175:41]
I
And this is a question from Prog Drummer, which is, I'm really curious about this as well. He goes, wait, what about the Christmas Twist franchise? Any hope for more sequels?
- [175:50]
B
Yes, I mean, I still, that is a Blaze TV property. I'll still be on Blazetv doing Studios America. So it is possible that another one of those could be made. I don't know.
- [176:03]
A
I believe that was a Mercury Project property. I believe that was produced by mri.
- [176:10]
B
Yeah, I guess technically it was. So what do you think?
- [176:13]
A
Technically. So what do you think?
- [176:15]
B
You want to put some dollars behind that? Some big bucks behind that or what?
- [176:18]
A
I'm. No, I'm just thinking that I have somebody else to sue now. I mean, apparently you are just running crazily with it and just giving it away. Higgledy piggledy. So, yeah, I would love to do another. I'd love to actually do like a real movie, a real parody Hallmark movie.
- [176:38]
E
I'd love. That would be fun. A Christmas movie that. Yeah. Where she was a high powered New York attorney, but she's got to go back home to take care of the.
- [176:51]
B
Cows or something because she probably doesn't like that.
- [176:53]
E
And then her, her ex from high school just happens to still be there.
- [176:59]
A
Yeah.
- [176:59]
E
And they run into each other, but.
- [177:00]
B
They probably are mismatched at this point, right, Pat? They're not gonna just got a high.
- [177:04]
E
Powered boyfriend back at home in New York.
- [177:07]
H
He's just milking the cow.
- [177:10]
A
We leave the Hallmark channel on during the Christmas season at our house and we are all so sarcastic. Anybody who walks in the room, I mean, my children, even when they were young, they'd be like, dad, you don't think he's going to fall in love with her?
- [177:25]
B
I know.
- [177:27]
A
So great.
- [177:28]
B
My wife is here and this is what we do all, all throughout the holidays is just watch those movies and just make fun of them. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. The kids did actually watch the Christmas twist. I wasn't thrilled.
- [177:38]
E
They were like acting awful.
- [177:41]
B
Yes, our acting is awful. Except I will say, Pat. Pat. An incredible performance as Uncle Billy, I believe.
- [177:49]
E
Yeah, I believe.
- [177:51]
B
Stupid. Oh my gosh. That is a classic, by the way. Still on my YouTube page, YouTube.com studiosamerica you can watch it right now.
- [177:58]
E
Okay.
- [177:59]
A
You alert the attorneys. Thank you.
- [178:01]
I
I want to jump right back because we. Oh, go ahead, go ahead.
- [178:04]
A
No, go ahead.
- [178:05]
I
As I say, I want to jump back into some of these phone calls really quick because we have 15 minutes left. So if you have questions on the comments. Yeah, here's. This echoes kind of Patty's sentiment, but let's go to Jeff in North Carolina. Jeff, how you doing, buddy?
- [178:20]
D
Good.
- [178:20]
A
Guys.
- [178:21]
D
Listen, gentlemen. And I say that wholeheartedly as gentlemen.
- [178:29]
A
Yeah.
- [178:29]
D
The emotion from that was just absolutely incredible. You guys don't understand. When you were all together, Glenn Pat, And Stu was literally gps. So you set us on the street.
- [178:45]
A
Narrow.
- [178:46]
B
I like the that. And Jeffy's not included in that, which is the best part.
- [178:50]
E
There's no J in gbs. I mean, come on, Jeff.
- [178:55]
A
No. When you're driving, you get lost. You do. Go.
- [178:57]
B
Jerk. Yeah. Okay.
- [179:00]
D
Jeffy has someone that has his back because literally since I was, you know, young, and my. My nieces and nephews now are in their late 20s and 30s, and I am still Uncle Jeff.
- [179:14]
H
Oh, see, look at that.
- [179:16]
B
Look at that.
- [179:16]
A
That's something you should probably.
- [179:18]
D
I have your back, brother. There is no one that could screw with you. I got your back, buddy, and we should be.
- [179:25]
B
I. I think of. You know, I love Jeffy. Jeff is the best. And I say that because he looks like he is. I mean, on death's door. And I.
- [179:33]
E
And that's only because he is.
- [179:35]
B
Okay, all right.
- [179:36]
H
Okay.
- [179:37]
A
He truly is. He truly is.
- [179:39]
B
Is.
- [179:40]
A
Yeah. You know, when Stu left me. Remember that? Remember that, guys? When Stu. First time.
- [179:45]
B
I do. The first time.
- [179:47]
A
Do my own show.
- [179:47]
B
You have to be more specific.
- [179:48]
A
Yeah, yeah. That first time you quit. And then. And then I was stuck with Jeffy. And Jeffy. Jeffy was a big fan of the host that I replaced, who I didn't know anything about, but he treated me like I was his enemy because I was replacing his buddy. And, oh, my gosh, it was the worst. Stu wasn't there for it. Nobody was there to help me through that. Jeffy was absolutely the worst. I know. And I saw that picture today of you and Stu, you know, acting like you're sleeping through the show. And I thought. I remember the looks you used to give me through the glass, like, you are pathetic.
- [180:31]
E
You suck.
- [180:32]
A
And to think now that we are such good friends.
- [180:36]
H
This is just tremendous, though.
- [180:37]
A
It makes me wonder if I'm still drinking at some point.
- [180:41]
B
The thing I was remembering about that period with Jeffy was. And I wasn't there for this particular time because I had abandoned you. But you had told me this story multiple times, Glenn, about how much Jeffy hated you and that he. When you would point to go to break his react. Like the time.
- [181:01]
A
Here it is.
- [181:01]
B
Here it is.
- [181:02]
A
Now imagine. Imagine. Imagine I'm sitting. This is. This is Jeffy in the other room. I've got the control board here. And I'm looking. He's looking at me like I'm looking at you.
- [181:13]
B
And I'm in the middle of, like, failing. My bid is failing.
- [181:16]
E
It's.
- [181:17]
B
Nothing's working. And I'm Panicking. I'm just trying to get to commercial anyway.
- [181:22]
A
And I'm doing this. I'm just doing this. Like, press the damn commercial. Get me out of this. And I'm just doing this. And he looks at me. Me. And pushes the button.
- [181:37]
B
Four seconds.
- [181:39]
A
Oh, my gosh.
- [181:41]
B
He hated you. And similar feelings today. Right, Jeff?
- [181:46]
H
Well, well.
- [181:51]
I
Let'S go back to the phone lines really quick before we run out of time. Let's go to Tony and pa. Tell Tony.
- [181:57]
D
Hey, guys, how are you?
- [181:58]
B
Hey, Tony.

D
Tony, this is. This is Tony from Hank's Beverage Company.

A
Oh, nice.

E
Best beverage in the world.

A
If you've not had Tank's root beer, it is the best root beer in all of the earth.
- [182:16]
B
Yes, orange is great.
- [182:18]
D
Thank you so much. I'll give you that cash later.
- [182:21]
E
Okay.
- [182:22]
A
Yeah, you just send some root beer down my way. I'm in Florida. Do you sell it in Florida, Tony?
- [182:29]
D
Yes, we do.
- [182:30]
A
Ah, gotta find it. It's so good. So good, so good.
- [182:33]
D
Anyway, so anyway, real quick, guys. Stu, you know, not too many things make me cry, but man, you made me cry at the end of that segment of the show there. And then, of course, Glenn always makes me cry. But anyway, and Jason, real quick, when's the last time Dallas won?
- [182:51]
B
Yeah, Hit the dump button, Jeffy. Go Birds. Go Birds.

A
Tony.
- [182:59]
D
I'm sorry, Jason.
- [183:00]
E
I was.
- [183:01]
D
That was a low blow.
- [183:02]
H
It was.
- [183:04]
B
Tony, thanks so much. I got to show you this watch that Glenn gave me, which is eagles themed. It is incredible. You would love it.
- [183:10]
D
Oh, that's awesome. That's awesome.
- [183:13]
A
House or are you going to show it to him on the camera?
- [183:15]
B
I can't. There's no a way to show it to him on camera. It's too far away. It looks just like a green circle from that distance.
- [183:21]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [183:21]
H
It's a while.
- [183:22]
B
Anyway, it's cool.
- [183:23]
E
Watch great, though.
- [183:24]
B
Yeah.
- [183:24]
E
I tell you what.
- [183:25]
D
Well, I really appreciate what you guys, you know, just over the years listening to you. Glenn with twist, you know, you've twist. Oh, my God, I can't even say it. Twisted freaks, you know, on shows and stuff like that.
- [183:38]
A
And.
- [183:39]
D
And then also memories of when stuff. And I believe it was Stu and Pat that had me on. Was it spoons?
- [183:49]
E
Yeah, that's right. Oh, my gosh.
- [183:51]
D
Root beer and the. And the ice cream and everything else.
- [183:54]
H
Yeah.
- [183:55]
D
And then Glenn, Glenn, you had my dad, God rest his Soul, back in 2014, I believe, on your show. And it made his life complete, honestly. And. But thank you so much for all. Everything you do and Stu, I wish you the best. And, oh, and by the way. Oh, that's all. That looks awesome, by the way. I just saw your. Your watch. But anyway, yeah, you.
- [184:21]
A
You're.
- [184:21]
D
You're something else there. And by the way, I did subscribe to your. Your. Your show there, because I heard it was a gambling show.
- [184:29]
B
It's gonna be a lot of fun. I. I swear, we're gonna have a lot of fun over there, Tony.
- [184:32]
A
So another guy called Tony's gonna be calling you up, Tony, talking about the gambling show. You know what I mean?
- [184:41]
B
Thanks, Tony, man. You're the best.
- [184:42]
I
I think we have.
- [184:43]
A
I want to do your liners for that. I want to do your liners for that.
- [184:46]
B
For the show.
- [184:47]
A
Hey, it's. It's the show. You know, you make some bets. I mean, make some predictions here. You know what I'm saying?
- [184:55]
B
I like it. I like it. Yeah, you're in. You're hired. We.
- [184:58]
A
You know, we.
- [184:59]
B
We're funded, but still, there's a budget, so we're welcome. You're welcome to come over anytime you want.
- [185:03]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [185:05]
I
I think we have time for one more caller. And then the final question of the day, which I have saved. And that's a good one. Let's go to Nick in New Jersey. Nick, how you doing?
- [185:14]
D
Hey, Glenn. I get it. Thanks for all the years, Stu, for everything.
- [185:18]
B
Thank you. Thank you so much.
- [185:20]
D
Yeah, we want to wish you Godspeed. My whole family and everything. My mother, though, is very upset. Thinks that predictable show is a dumb idea.
- [185:30]
H
Thank you.
- [185:31]
D
It's only because she just is going to miss you so much. We really are.
- [185:37]
A
A couple things.
- [185:37]
D
I would just. Though my battery's about to die on my phone, so I just wanted to.
- [185:41]
A
Real quick.
- [185:43]
D
I remember on the show. On the TV show. I think it was on CNN during. When they captured Abu Musab al Zarqawi and they had. You had brought out a cake and it said al Zar Cakey. And later on, I found out that Stu insisted that the caption said that it was such dopey humor that I never forgot that joke.
- [186:05]
B
That's adorable.
- [186:06]
H
No.
- [186:06]
A
Yeah.
- [186:06]
B
We're down on the streets of New York, right? And we were. It's funny because that segment, which.
- [186:12]
E
Absolutely.
- [186:13]
B
I can't believe we got it on television. When you think about it, we were just mocking, you know, was he dead? It was something. We were celebrating. His.
- [186:20]
A
Was he the hairy back guy?
- [186:22]
B
No, no, that was a different one.
- [186:24]
E
Yeah.
- [186:25]
A
We should have made cake and just put hair on.
- [186:30]
B
But the guy who. The Guy who was out, Glenn, with me. You know, it was an on the street segment and we had a producer from CNN with us for that and the producer for that was Adam, who's currently my producer on Studios America and the new show. Predictable. Yeah, it was him. He was out. He was the one out there with me. He's been with us all that time. He had a couple weird dalliances over to like Joy Behar's show or something. But in between he was, he was with us the entire time. So I will say I just bring that up as another example of like how out of the ordinary this company is and this group of people is like, there's just not, there's no examples of this. You don't have situations in media where people are hanging out for 20, 30 years together. It almost never happens.
- [187:16]
A
No, it's, it's, it is, let me echo it is the greatest group of people that I have ever worked with and that is, bar none, and the best audience, I think ever in America.
- [187:30]
H
Yes.
- [187:31]
B
I will say one more detail on that one. Thank you. It'll be even better after this. Adam writes me as he's listening to this. He says it was his first field shoot of his career. So imagine that he's out there celebrating a terrorist. And he says it was quite, quote, bacon wrapped.
- [187:49]
I
People, we have time for one final question. We have five minutes left. So if Stu, if you can respond to this question and then do our sign off. This is from Ryan. He said, and this is very, very important. Ryan asked, can Stu provide for the insiders your first recommendation before the show ends, your prediction for your new site? He's ready to make his first buy.
- [188:14]
E
Oh, wow.
- [188:14]
B
Already? Gosh, that's a great question. First one from the new site. We of course aren't starting for about a month or so from now, so I don't know that I have anything official. Let me look for a couple pieces of value real quick. Look at that Senate race in Iowa. There's a strong candidate running for the Democrats in the gubernatorial race, which has that almost like a 50, 50 race in Iowa, which seems because Reynolds is stepping down. The Senate race, though, it would be shocking to me, honestly, that Senate race goes the wrong way and I want to say it's in the mid-60s last time I looked at it. That's really solid value for something like Iowa. So that's going to get you what, 50% gain on your money in.
- [189:02]
H
I think you want to know about the Super Bowl. Who wants to know about new.
- [189:06]
B
I Mean, I. I mean, Seattle's probably going to win the game.
- [189:09]
H
Absolutely.
- [189:10]
B
That's what I think. I just. I feel like New. New England's done an incredible job to get there, and it's an amazing season for them, but, like, I feel like.
- [189:17]
A
Seattle have to be able to do that. I have to tell you, I have no interest in the super bowl neither. I have no interest in the Super Bowl. This is the worst super bowl matchup and halftime I've ever heard.
- [189:28]
E
We were just talking about that a little while ago.
- [189:30]
A
It is horrible.
- [189:31]
B
Yeah, we have some big Seattle fans who. Who. And New England fans who work here, and they're into it, which I get. But, like, I. As far as national interest goes, it doesn't feel.
- [189:40]
H
You're not excited for Bad Bunny?
- [189:42]
B
I'm not gonna be understanding the words he's saying. And he's going to be in a dress.
- [189:46]
H
I did love that.
- [189:47]
A
They said, didn't they just hire somebody else? They just hired somebody else to do something.
- [189:52]
H
Green Day.
- [189:53]
E
Yeah, Green Day. Because it wasn't anti American and.
- [189:57]
B
Right.
- [189:58]
E
And so let's get Green Day.
- [190:00]
A
I mean, that's crazy.
- [190:01]
H
They're gonna do pretty. Yeah.
- [190:03]
A
Let me just. Let me end with this, Stu. You always have a chair warm here with me. You always have a warm place to come back to and share what you're doing. I wish you all the best in the world. You have been a great, great partner, great writer, great producer, and great, great friend. And you always have a place back here. You always have a home with me.
- [190:27]
B
Thank you.
- [190:28]
A
I'm proud of you. I'm proud of. This is a very. I know how much money you're walking away from, so I'm proud of you. Really, I am.
- [190:40]
B
Thank you, Glenn. I appreciate it. I really do appreciate everything. And, you know, I was going to go through a long list of people on the air, but of course, I couldn't get to it. I just want to say, Sarah, I love you. You're the best. Sarah's our. She's been with us forever, too. I'm gonna miss her a lot. She's like my big.
- [190:55]
A
My.
- [190:56]
B
My little sister.
- [190:59]
A
It's been a hard week for her, Stu. Two of us have been going back and forth. It's been a hard week.
- [191:04]
B
I know it really. I mean, I'm a mess for a hundred different reasons, so. Thanks so much for everything, Glenn, and it's been a fun, fun ride, and I will see you soon.
- [191:13]
A
Let.
- [191:13]
B
Invite me back on, man. Come on on. Invite me back on. Find a hole sometime in the six months.
- [191:19]
A
It's an interesting story, especially the way you tell it.
- [191:22]
B
Thank you for sharing those ends.
- [191:23]
A
Of course we will. We'll see you. God bless.
