Chip Roy (6:01)

Well, thanks, Glenn. Yeah, it's been. It's been a rough, rough go for the folks down in Kerrville. You know, I've spent most of the last three days there. I came home late yesterday to see my family clean up and get out of the way, you know, because at some point, you know, you want them to kind of do their thing. But, you know, look, it's also a great testimony to the, you know, strength, resolve, compassion of not just the people at Kerrville, but across Texas and the whole country. There's, like, long waiting lines for people to volunteer. There was a backup of, you know, a long line of traffic at the place where people are signing up, resources are flowing in, musicians are scheduling benefit concerts. You know, the local, state and federal governments are all working in sync. A lot of prayer warriors out there. But, man, you know, it's tough. I mean, I drove out there through Camp mystic and out through Hunt, which is, I think, arguably the most beautiful part of Texas, certainly one of. And there's a reason there's 18 camps there. It's just an extraordinary part of the state. And. And, you know, there's just a tight area there where if you get a flash flood like they got, with that unprecedented amount of water coming through at that rate, it just comes through and it's just a torrent. And the damage is pretty extraordinary. When I saw houses wiped off foundations, trees laid flat, like massive, huge old cypress trees and oak trees just laid flat. A lot of damage to buildings. But everybody's out there cleaning up and getting after it, and we'll keep praying for them and working with them.

Stu Burguiere (7:43)

I know that the Guadalupe rose, what was it, 26ft in 45 minutes. That's extraordinary.

Chip Roy (7:53)

Yeah. And I mean, it's hard to put in perspective. And I tweeted out a picture that we had of a time lapse of what happened out in Llano, and you could see it in about. Literally, it was about a four minute span where the water just rose up I don't know how many feet. But if you look at the video, it's extraordinary. Engulfing a bridge from filling up an entire river basin. And people were responding to that tweet like, oh, my gosh, how does that happen? This is what we deal with in central Texas, generally with flash floods, because we have hard, dry ground, we have limestone with a very thin kind of layer of soil on top. Right. And we've been in a drought so it's particularly been pretty hard. And so you get then a rain like we got, which is basically a tropical storm type event that just sat and spun in that one location. And that water is going to go somewhere when you're talking 12 to 14 inches of water. And so that's what happened. And it came down. Look, I've seen a lot of different theories on this and people going, oh, well, you know, some people are saying it's, you know, don't worry, this is not the first time this has happened. They should have been prepared. You know, there was the flood in 1987. There's been floods before. True.

Stu Burguiere (9:06)

Yeah.

Chip Roy (9:07)

And they, and they are ready for that sort of thing. But then how ready are you? Well, what you saw here was a level of water that went so fast and so furiously. And remember, between 4am and 6am Right. It was in that window of July 4th. So, you know, they were prepared for flash flooding, but they were prepared for what you would call normal or even bad flash flooding, not the level that occurred. And that's, that's what happened.

Stu Burguiere (9:37)

So Dana Bash was on CNN and she was, she was saying that, you know, this is the federal government. They, you know, the two Texas National Weather Service offices that were involved in forecasting and warning, they were missing some key staff members because of Donald Trump's cuts. However, the records show that they normally have two people that are in there and because of the warnings that were coming out the night before, they had five people on duty. I mean, can you, can you comment at all about the, the Trump cuts that have gotten more people killed now or, or because of global warming?

Chip Roy (10:20)

Yeah, I mean, it's all just so absurd. First of all, take one step back. The finger pointing generally is just offensive when you're dealing with trying to find bodies and trying to deal with families grieving. Like, night before last, I was with the families who have not been able to find their daughters or who are pretty, you know, are learning the bad news about their daughters. So that's where I was night before last. I don't know where Dana Bash was, but she wasn't there. And we're down on the ground with first responders trying to find people and we're trying to clean up debris and we're trying to help a community heal and we're trying to deal with, you got a camp director who died trying to save little girls and I'm there with his daughter who is now there with the families of the people who lost their little girls at this camp. And she was there because she loves them, you know, hard. That was. And that you got these people like Dana Bash who were out there, you know, making this conjecture about budget cuts or the Trump administration didn't have people there, which, first of all, is false. It's just not true. And second of all, whatever we're gonna do in analyzing all of this, do it in a week or two or in a month when we can sit back and take in all the facts. We used to be a country that would do that. And instead, now it's all about this politicization and this, you know, recriminations and trying to exploit. We got media who are tracking down the family members right now, and when the families say, guys, we don't want to talk, they go dig up stuff on social media, put pictures up on their kids. Kids who were alive 72 hours ago aren't alive now, and they're grieving. So that's the kind of crap we're dealing with. And with all due respect to Dana, it's just not true. Okay. And by the way, you know, whatever the National Weather Service was doing, do you and I both believe that there's probably bureaucracy at NOAA and in commerce that could be made better? Yeah, I'm sure you and I believe that. And I know President Trump believes that. Should we improve it? Probably. But to say they weren't doing their job and they didn't have the resources. There is a lot. Well, so that's. That's when you try to politicize it instead of pursue facts.

Stu Burguiere (12:33)

Let me just say this. There was a flash flood flood watch that was issued at 12:41 in the morning. Then a flash flood warning was at 1:14am flash flood emergency was issued at 5:34am the problem is, I mean, I don't know about you, but I'm not getting my flash flood warnings at that time. This area doesn't have a great cell service, if cell service in some of these areas, so you're not getting any of those kinds of warnings. And the. The area had gone through. Should we put up, you know, like. Like air raid sirens, you know, tornado warning sirens? Should we put those up? And the town decided not to do it. I mean, this is years ago. I mean, I think it looks like everybody did what they were supposed to do. It happened in the middle of the night.

Chip Roy (13:29)

Yeah. And, like, if I look at this and I haven't studied at all what decisions were made, you know, by Kerr county or by the state or anything else, I know there was some stuff About a bill that was, you know, debated this last session and who voted for it, who didn't. None of that really matters. The question really is, doesn't matter at this moment. It will matter in the long run. The question for me is, you know, my gut and instinct is you need sirens, right? That's my gut. That's my quick reaction is that you need sirens, right? People in tornado alley and they live up, you know, they have sirens. So in a place like this that has flash floods that occur every decade or two or five, and some can get bad, great, you're going to need sirens, you need a plane to get the high ground. That's my gut. But we'll talk to the locals in the state and the feds. But look, here's the thing that's kind of interesting to me. If you look through it all say, okay, those warnings were put out. So what are the double edged swords here? Sometimes we get flash flood alerts. I mean, you know this in Texas, even in the Dallas Fort Worth area, but certainly down here we get them a lot. So you kind of pay attention even when you get it in the middle of the day, like I pay attention up as a dad to go, all right, okay, make sure everything's good. But you get them a lot. And here's a problem when you get like, well, we're going to get 2 to 4 inches of rain, or we're going to get 4 to 6 inches of rain and you hear that and you go, okay, that's a lot of rain. Okay, but it sounds normal. The question here is when National Weather Service, when the state government, those folks, our Texas Department of Emergency Management started moving resources there because their view of the tropical storm combined with what they were getting from the National Weather Service told them that, yeah, this is starting to get a little bit interesting. So some of that was happening, people were paying attention, people were preparing. But it was an extraordinary event. So a question can be asked, well, who knew it was an extraordinary event and when did they know it? Did anybody?

Stu Burguiere (15:23)

How are they going to get the information, Chip, how is anybody going to get the information to people even if they did know it at 3 o' clock in the morning without sirens?

Chip Roy (15:31)

That's right. That's to me, that's my starting position. And then the question becomes before that, well, who knew what my observation of all this is the President, the federal government was doing what they normally do and more, and some sent more people were on top of it. They put out notices and we'll have to go through and see. Okay. You know, there were, there were different meteorologists who, from my observation here in Texas, were all still observing this late in the night. There's a local guy in Austin who's pretty good, and he was tracking it. I was tracking it. Glenn from D.C. you know why I was tracking it? Because I was trying to decide if I was going to go to Kerrville, where I go every year for the 4th of July for a big concert with my family. Then President Trump asked and his team asked if I would stay for the bill signing. And so we made a decision. Okay, it looks like it's going to rain in Kerrville, but we didn't know it was going to be catastrophic. That's my point. I was following it and it looked like it was going to be heavy rains. And then it got a lot worse late night and then the warnings went out. But to your point, you got to have sirens. That's my observation.

Stu Burguiere (16:43)

Can you hang on just a second? I have to take a one minute break and then I want to talk to you a little bit about the rescues that happened because some real heroism happened. And then I also have to touch on the big, beautiful bill that you did sign. And we'll talk to you about that coming up in 60 seconds. First, here's a fun little experiment. Just Google your own name and see what pops up. My guess is probably more information than you're strictly comfortable with. Now, I want you to imagine what a cyber criminal could come up with if he searched your name on the Dark Web. What, what is he supposed to do with your name, your address, your Social Security number? Well, nothing good. I mean, he'll, he'll find all of those things. And this is why you should use LifeLock. They don't just tell your information and, and tell you that your information might have been compromised. They're actually constantly monitoring, alerting you to suspicious activity and helping clean it up if your identity does get stolen and used against you. Because if you think freezing your credit or changing your password is enough, spoiler alert. It's really not. And neither is crossing your fingers and hoping that data doesn't end up in some dark web clearance bin. Lifelock makes it easy.

And we're back with Chip Roy. Big welcome to our newest affiliate and my new home in Buffalo. It's 1270, the patriot. The patriot. Welcome to the program. We're glad you're here. Chip Roy joins us again. There are some amazing stories of heroism that we'll be telling later in the show. Is it true that there are some that are just completely made up?

Chip Roy (18:53)

So I'm sure some of the things, you know, yesterday there was a story about two girls being found in a tree or something down a little south of Kerrville, southeast, I should say, heading towards Comfort in Kendall County. And my antenna was up. I reached out to the sheriffs in both counties. Turned out not to be true. We tried to get that information out as soon as possible. And it's tragic because, you know, these families, they start getting their hope up. I don't, you know, fake report, fake news. So we had to kill that. But there has been tremendous acts of heroism. The Coast Guard, that one individual was responsible, you know, some 200 people. You know, there was a lot of work to get food and water to people and then get them, you know, extracted. We had 850 kids in these camps that had to be removed from the area with the flooding and with roads that were knocked out. And then we had actual rescues of several of the girls that were, in fact, this was now two days ago in trees and downriver. And there were rescues made and then there were lives saved by the actions of camp directors. There was a woman who lost her life, Jane, I can't remember her last name, but she's a wonderful woman by all accounts of the people at Kerrville. She lost her life saving some children the night of the floods. And then Dick Eastland, who was the owner and, you know, longtime camp director, he bought it in 1973 at Camp Mystic Dick. And he was, he was getting older and his younger family, you know, his kids were, you know, in the family business. They run the camp. Mary Liz, someone I've been talking to a lot. That's his daughter in law, Dick, died night before last trying to save little girls. And, you know, he devoted his life to the camp and he died trying to save several girls there as the floods were coming in.

Stu Burguiere (20:44)

Can you just clear this one fact up? Because I can't find anything in any Houston report about the city official that went on this rant about. It was how it was just white kids and yada, yada, yada, all this crazy stuff. But she made the claim that this was a white only Christian camp. And I can't find a single story debunking that. And I find that really hard to believe. True or not, Chip.

Chip Roy (21:14)

Totally false. It's just absolutely ridiculous. I mean, we've got, you know, this is a Christian camp that welcomes anybody and everybody. And, you know, this is just the kind of hateful rhetoric that comes out of, out of people that want to politicize everything, demean everything. Everything has to be woke. Everything has to be through this, like DEI ideology that's destroying our country, that thankfully President Trump and others are fighting back against and undoing and taking out of the federal government. And we need to do more of it at the state and local government. You know, it's just absurd. I mean, the fact is these are really, really good people who are, who are dedicated to the mission of advancing the Kingdom of Christ and doing so with these historic camps that have been multi generational along a great and beautiful part of the rivers in Texas. And I, look, I am hopeful they will all rebuild and that they will all get back to operation. You know, next year would be Camp Mystic's hundredth anniversary. You know, like I said, there's been four and five generations of kids that have gone through those camps. And it is, look, and people ask, like, how could you have these cabins and these things all right next to the water? You know what the answer is? Because it's right next to the water. That's where you want to be.

Stu Burguiere (22:27)

That's where you want to be. Okay. All right, Chip, I've got, I've only got about a minute left. And I have to ask you, why'd you change your vote on the big beautiful bill?

Chip Roy (22:37)

Look, you push as hard as you can get in every step along the way. We got really good changes to that bill. But for conservatives, we wouldn't even have touched Medicaid. We got a trillion dollars in Medicaid reforms, but for conservatives, we wouldn't have gotten nearly as many savings. We got 1.6 trillion. All of those things were along the way. And at the last minute last week, I did not like what the Senate did to the bill. You and I talked about it. They did a lot of bad things to the bill. We got serious action out of the administration that I believe will return all or most of the teeth on the green new scam so that we can stop the future projects. We're working with them on executive orders and actions that they believe that I believe they'll be doing. This week. We got a little distracted by the, by the flooding. But I believe we'll get it done. This week we got real reforms. I think we need to go further but I made the judgment that we went as far as we could go under the current, current circumstance to achieve what the President wanted to achieve. And but we got to go much further. Okay. I am not here for more deficits and I think this bill is good but I think we need to do more work to get deficits going down on a second follow up reconciliation package, appropriations and rescissions. And that was a part of the decision making too. Their pledge and promise to work with us to do that.

Stu Burguiere (23:53)

Thank you so much Chip Roy from the great state of Texas. God bless you. We'll talk again my friend. This is Glenn Beck. You know, every time the market starts to shake, people you know, rush into gold. But by the time most people do, it's too late. The price has already surged and everybody is panicking. And that's why I always say if you're thinking about diversifying now, don't wait for the next big crisis to wake you up. Do it now. You know, it's an amazing thing. Americans always rushing like bitcoin. You know when it was, when it was 30 cents I had no interest in bitcoin. When it was a thousand dollars, I was like haha, I should have bought some bitcoin. When it was $20,000. Everybody's like we gotta buy some bitcoin. It's crazy. Why not buy it before it just takes off? Lear Capital, it's already taken off. They remind you physical gold and silver, they've been in this business for 25 years and we are seeing record breaking prices almost every day. Please. You could just transform your whole life and make sure that you're prepared by transferring some of your savings that you have for retirement IRA or you know, whatever your retirement bills are and just transfer some of it. They'll show you how to do it. It's really easy. Just call Lear Capital now at 800-957-Gold 800-957-Gold. Call them now, 800-957-GOLD.

Jason Buttrill (25:18)

Mercury One is on the ground helping with all the floods. If you're able to donate, please do. It's mercury1.org mercury1.org.

Stu Burguiere (25:42)

Could I address some of the hyperbole around the big beautiful bill just a little bit. If there is anything in the big beautiful bill to worry about it is the increase in spending. Because the spending ourself into oblivion is an actual threat to the country. But that's not what anybody is talking about. What everybody seems to be talking about is the tax cuts, which were already there, or the tax cuts like no tax for tips, which you would think the party of the little people, you know, the Democrats would all be for, but they're not, because they're not party of the little people anymore. And those had to be offset. Okay, offset by what? Well, by cutting spending. But cutting what spending? Not cutting spending. Let me just say this. If I said, you know, I made $250,000 a year and this year we were going to spend $300,000, okay? And you would say immediately, Glenn, you can't do that. And I say, I've been doing that for 30 years. Okay? You might say, bank's not going to give you a loan. But then if I came to you and I said, yeah, I'm spending $300,000 a year and my wife and I make 250 or $200,000 a year, but you know, next year I was going to spend $500,000. Did you get a raise? No, I didn't get a raise. I still make $200,000 a year between my wife and I, but I'm going to spend 500 and not 300. And then somebody came in like an accountant with, you know, some muscle, and they said, glenn, you cannot spend $500,000 a year. Would it make sense if I went back to spending 300, not 200, which I had, but 300 which I had been spending every year? Would it make sense to you for me to say, my children are now going to starve. My children are now going to starve. Look at the austerity program that I am on. My gosh, they just cut. No, they didn't cut anything. They didn't cut anything. They cut the increase in spending. That's what they cut. And Stu, could you please explain Medicare? I mean, all of the people I know, they warned us, I didn't believe the death squads would actually go out. And you know, they want these people off Medicare so badly or Medicaid that they just sent out death squads. Trump's not waiting for them to die cuz they can't get their prescriptions. Now he's just having them slaughtered in the streets.

Jason Buttrill (28:43)

Yeah, that's the efficiency of the Trump administration.

Stu Burguiere (28:46)

Sure.

Jason Buttrill (28:46)

He wants these people dead so badly, he's just killing them in the streets. No, actually none of that's happening. And the Medicaid cuts are, as you point out, largely cuts to future increases that have not occurred. The biggest chunk of this is the work requirements. You've heard this, Glenn. And I went through this and I was like, this can't possibly be what they mean, right? I was like, wait a minute, when they say work requirement cuts, what does that mean? So I dove into it a little bit and basically what they are saying is if you are an able bodied adult, so that does not include old people, does not include people who are sick and cannot work, and it also does not include people who have small children even if they are able bodied. And when I say small, I mean 12 and under. So if you have a 12 year old, you're completely exempt from this. But able bodied adults who.

Stu Burguiere (29:41)

Okay, so people in wheelchairs.

Jason Buttrill (29:42)

No, no.

Stu Burguiere (29:44)

With babies who are still nursing at home.

Jason Buttrill (29:46)

Yeah, this is where it gets.

Stu Burguiere (29:46)

Yeah, I'm having a hard time following you.

Jason Buttrill (29:48)

Yes.

Stu Burguiere (29:48)

Wait, what now?

Jason Buttrill (29:49)

So you're an able bodied adult that does not have small children.

Stu Burguiere (29:54)

No small children.

Jason Buttrill (29:55)

You would be required to get Medicaid to work 20 hours a week.

Stu Burguiere (30:01)

Now you might 20 hours a week.

Jason Buttrill (30:02)

Or 80 hours a month.

Stu Burguiere (30:05)

Or 80 hours a month, that's almost half a full time job.

Jason Buttrill (30:10)

Now you might say to yourself, and this is actually true, some people can't get jobs. Right. I'm sure there are people that are trying to get even part time jobs and maybe can't get them and those people are just gonna lose their Medicaid. Well, as you might understand, of course not. Because what you have to do then is go through a process where you're basically telling them you're attempting to get a job or you are volunteering somewhere to meet that requirement. So basically you have to fill out at the very least. Yeah, it's like unemployment. You have to at least fill out some paperwork here.

Stu Burguiere (30:44)

So it's the exact opposite. Let me see if I have this right. It's the exact opposite of unemployment, which we've had forever, where if you're looking for a job but you can't get one, you can still get unemployment. But it's the exact opposite. Right. Especially if you are nursing sex tuplets.

Jason Buttrill (31:02)

No, again, you're not very close to it. You're a little bit off on this one. And by the way, Glenn, you might say to yourself, well wait, how is that a Medicaid cut? Because they're not cutting anyone's eligibility here unless they don't want to meet the requirement. Now of course there's always been requirements to all of these programs. So meaning the requirements has always been part of getting onto Medicaid. But this requirement, if you decide basically to not do it and not participate and not fill out the paperwork, then, yes, you will lose your Medicaid coverage. What they're saying is they believe.

Stu Burguiere (31:41)

Okay, all right, okay. No, I just want to make sure I have it right. So what they're saying is if you are blind, yes, you're deaf.

Jason Buttrill (31:49)

You know, you again, you have no.

Stu Burguiere (31:51)

Friends and you can't get out of the house and you're, you've been on Medicaid, somehow or another, you signed up for that, but now you don't even know because you can't hear the news. You, you can't, certainly can't fill out a form because you have no eyes. They just come in and rip your Medicaid away.

Jason Buttrill (32:10)

No, none of, none of what you said is, is accurate, though it is calm considering to some of the accusations, comparing it to some of the accus by the left right now. But yeah, I mean, if you, so if you are an able bodied adult that decides, you know, I'm too, I don't feel like filling out the paperwork or I don't feel like going to job interviews or I don't feel like volunteering, then yes, you could lose your case. But that's what they're saying the cuts are. They think $317 billion worth of people will not bother doing those things for whatever reason. Maybe because they have more money than they said, maybe because they're lazy, maybe because I'm sure there's some case where some, you know, I don't know, I can't think of the case because the ailments are covered here. But yes, maybe it's, I don't know, some particular skin color, then they will reject you. I don't know. But Glenn, and it's not just that there are other cuts. For example, some of the cuts are, they are eliminating duplicate Medicaid enrollment. So if you are, if you happen to have Medicaid, can't double dip. If you happen to have Medicaid. Are you saying in two different states they are going to, to stop you from having it in two states instead make you have it in one state?

Stu Burguiere (33:21)

Hold it just a second. I have two legs, I have two arms. I have two eyes. I have two nostrils, I have two ears. I can't have two Medicare Medicaid coverages.

Jason Buttrill (33:31)

I know, that's insane. It's really, really brutal.

Stu Burguiere (33:34)

I have two kidneys. I can only have one kidney now, you know, repaired now. Is that what you're saying?

Jason Buttrill (33:42)

That's not what I'm saying. But yes, I'm sure that's what's being reported out there by Dana Bash. Another one I will give you here, Glenn. They talked about immigrants. Immigrants are getting on their Medicaid cut and this is tough. Now what this bill does. I want you to hold onto your hat here, Glenn, okay? If you have green card holders and other certain immigrants, some will lose their coverage or actually, you know, sorry, eligibility will retain for those people. Certain other immigrants may lose their coverage. The current law says all who are lawfully present. That will kick in after a how many year waiting period? Let me give you, let me guess, it's a five year waiting period. So it will be the next president who has to deal with this when some future Congress will just put it right back in and it's not a savings at all. Then you have Medicaid death checks.

Stu Burguiere (34:42)

They are gonna require checking on whether you're dead. Look at this.

Jason Buttrill (34:47)

It's crazy. It's brutal.

Stu Burguiere (34:48)

It really is. You're gonna all of the immigrants off in five years and then you're checking to see if old people and eyeless people are dead. When will you leave these people alone?

Chip Roy (35:03)

I know.

Jason Buttrill (35:03)

So anyway, we could go through this stuff all day, but as you point out, most of this stuff is not at all what the left is saying. It is, it is not these desperate Medicaid cuts that are going to ruin everybody's lives. A lot of them are just really common sense stuff like making sure you don't have it in two states. I mean, I don't know what the positive argument is for that, but you know, they'll make it.

Stu Burguiere (35:23)

Well, they don't have one. That's why they don't make it about that. Here is the, here's the thing. I can't, I can't take, I can't take the moral superiority of the left. I don't think I'm morally superior to the people who disagree with me. I may think they're morally incorrect or morally misguided, but I don't consider myself morally superior. I don't consider myself intellectually superior to those on the left. I think they could be wrong. I think they could be misguided, but then again, I might be too. You know, we're all on the road of being right, but we're probably on the corner of the wrong and mostly wrong. But we're all trying to do our best. I cannot take the moral superiority from a group of people who honestly think they're better than everyone else, think they should make the decisions for Everybody else don't have a problem with other moral issues at all, have bastardized our faith and our religion. I, I don't mind if you say, you know, Glenn, I think you're wrong about, you know, moral whatever, but please don't put yourself into the situation to where you're claiming to be morally superior. I cannot take it anymore. I can't take my friends who disagree with me, who want to pretend that somehow or another I am a complete and total moral vacuum of a human being, because I don't agree, and here's what I don't agree on, that the Medicare cuts are going to kill people. It's not going to kill people. Tell me about any of these cuts that are going to kill people. That doesn't. You don't have any. You know, what's happening is there is no standard too low, it seems, to the left. You, you, you don't ever have to work. You don't ever have to be involved with any kind of legality. It. The law is just wrong. The law is just wrong. Always wrong. I'm being persecuted. I'm sorry. I do believe that that is morally incorrect. I believe the left's idea that you can't survive, you know, the world owes you nothing. Nothing. It owes me nothing. For those people who think that the entire history of the world has happened to get us here so you could be happy, so you could have, you know, some fairness, it would be nice. But quite honestly, history doesn't care about me. And history doesn't care about you. None of this is happening because of me or because of you. And in our unbelievable arrogance, we think we're going to affect it, or we think that we're going to be the ones that, you know, just. We have to, we have to have it fixed right now because our situation is so dire. I know I'm not expressing this well, but I just, I can't. I can't take it. Get out of yourself for a minute. Get out of your own echo chamber for a minute. To think that the left has all of the compassion, which. I think we can make a very strong case that that is just not true. Maybe it used to be that all the compassion was with liberals, but I don't know what happened to liberals. I just don't know. And a lot of liberals, the ones I think are compassionate, have left not to join the Republicans, but they can't stand being around their own people anymore because their own people have just gone insane. If you ever hear me claiming to be morally superior, please Point it out to me so I can apologize, because I cannot take it anymore. I can disagree with anybody, but how dare you just assume that all of your positions are morally superior. Back in just a minute. Real estate agents I trust as our sponsor. Selling house is easy.

Stu Burguiere (46:22)

The dark and embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. You know, there is nothing. There is nothing wrong with admitting you were wrong. Nothing. In fact, I think it's a sign of strength, not of weakness. A lot of people don't believe that. I can never be wrong. I can't. No. If you were wrong, admit it and everybody will understand. Because we all make mistakes. But right now, what we have going on is I have two, I think, good friends in Dan Bongino and Patel, who I have respected and liked for a very long time. Still do. Who are now talking about. There is. There's. There's no client list. There's. There's no. There was never any blackmail going on. They. He was only selling the children or buying the children for him, Epstein, not for anybody else that there was. There was no CIA or spook connection, even though Epstein was charged with sex trafficking. Maxwell charged with sex trafficking conspiracy. Bondi said the list was on her desk. Alex Acosta, then at the doj, who was handling the case, said he was told to leave the Epstein case alone because Epstein belonged to Intelligence. What am I to believe now? I want to believe my friends. And I have a. I have several requests out to both Kash Patel and to Dan Bongino to come on the program and talk about it. We have requested Pam Bondi. I don't know Pam. I would like to give her the benefit of the doubt, but somebody has to do more than just release the videotape. Okay, so the videotape shows that nobody went in and killed him. All right, good. I see the videotape makes a strong case. I'd like someone to answer, though. Were these kids trafficked to air? Was. There was no client list at all. Why did Pambani say the list List was on our desk? Why did they say the FBI in New York was hampering their investigation and that's why they couldn't get that list out? I don't understand. And if they were wrong in the past, they should just come out and say we were wrong. Have they? Liz Wheeler is here. I don't know if she's white. If as confused on this one as I appear to be. Liz Wheeler joins us here in just a second. Stand by. First, let me tell you about Simplisafe. Bad guys don't care about what neighborhood you live in. They don't care if you have a dog.

Glenn Beck (50:44)

Yes, he may. Thanks for having me, Glenn.

Stu Burguiere (50:46)

Okay. Yeah, you bet. She said, give me one good reason why I shouldn't scream for Pam Bondi to be fired today. And this was at five o' clock in the morning. And I said, I'm sleepy, but I don't think I can. I don't think I can give you a reason not to not to call for her firing today. But I want you to explain, why do you feel this way?

Glenn Beck (51:11)

It's not something that I say lightly. I didn't say it immediately after the White House Epstein Binder debacle. And I want to very prudently and judiciously make this case to you today and to make this case to President Trump too, because Kam Bondi has become a liability to his administration despite her loyalty in other areas. So let's start with the announcement from the Department of Justice last night. A lot of us have a lot of questions about this announcement. It just doesn't ring true with a lot of us. We don't, we don't. We see a lot of evidence before our eyes that contradicts what we're being told without evidence to believe by the FBI and the Department of Justice. And it grates on us because like you mentioned, we are friends with Cash Patel and Dan Bondino. They're the good guys. We Trust them. And yet we have to use our critical thinking faculties and look at the evidence before our eyes. So it smells fishy. You'll notice it says nothing about whether Jeffrey Epstein was an intelligence asset, which, as you mentioned, Alex Acosta, the attorney who cut the sweetheart deal originally with Epstein, said he was before Acosta's emails mysteriously disappeared. So we have questions about that. There are also outstanding, important questions about Kash Patel and Dan Bongino's definitive pronouncement that Epstein killed himself. I'm sorry, I don't think the video that they released proves as definitively as they were stating that case because it doesn't show what was happening inside the cell. It just shows the cell door. We don't actually see him kill himself. So that we know.

Stu Burguiere (52:39)

We know that nobody came in or through that door. Well, where are they going to go through the little bars? I mean. No, I have no idea.

Glenn Beck (52:50)

I don't know what the internal of that cell looks like. I don't know if they have. If they have fire escape routes. I don. If they have adjoining doors. I don't know if they have emergency exits. I don't know if that video was doctored or not. I don't know enough about that to simply take that one piece of evidence.

Stu Burguiere (53:04)

So that's a good say.

Glenn Beck (53:04)

Okay, good point.

Stu Burguiere (53:05)

Just show us that. Just show us the room. Show us what's inside the room.

Glenn Beck (53:10)

Yes, we need more evidence. One piece and one piece of evidence. I mean, it's great. I'm glad they released that. It's not enough.

Chip Roy (53:16)

Yeah.

Glenn Beck (53:17)

The other thing. I wonder, too, if Cash Patel and Dan Bongino are relying too much on the FBI's prior investigations. Assuming that the FBI of old is a reliable narrator. I don't know who conducted those investigations or if it was done soundly. I doubt it was done soundly.

Stu Burguiere (53:32)

So I can. May I just interject here? I talked to Dan Bongino a few weeks ago about this off air, and he said, glenn, we are turning over every stone. We are going to get to the bottom of it. We are. So, I mean, he led me to believe that, and I believed him, and I still do. That he was using new resources, opening the investigation in a new way, following it closely. And I do believe Dan Bongino is one of the good guys.

Glenn Beck (54:03)

I do, too. And I've been told the same thing by very high ranking officials at the FBI who I trust. They're trustworthy people. I do think that it might not be possible at this point to piece together everything because we know that there have been reports of evidence destruction. So my issue with that definitive statement was the definitive nature of it, that this 100% happened this way. Epstein killed himself. Instead of saying, we don't have enough evidence to piece this together, or the evidence we have points to this. All that being said, though, I want to. I want to talk about what happened last night, because this brings us to Attorney General Pam Bondi, who just months ago said she had the Epstein client list on her desk. When I went back and looked at that video, the clip of her on Fox News again this morning, to make sure that there was not contact that I was lacking, that there was nothing bungled phraseology, maybe nerves being on air. I went back and listened to it. She said definitively she had the Epstein client list on her desk. Now, fast forward to yesterday. She says that it doesn't exist, that they don't have it. That is a really big problem if I'm President.

Stu Burguiere (55:05)

Let me play. Let me play this from Bondi. This is back in February. Here is the actual statement she made. Listen, the DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients. Will that really happen?

Glenn Beck (55:19)

It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's been a directive by President Trump. I'm reviewing that. I'm reviewing JFK files, MLK files. That's all in the process of being reviewed because that was done at the directive of the President from all of these agencies.

Stu Burguiere (55:34)

So. So have you seen anything that you said? Oh, my gosh, not yet.

Chip Roy (55:40)

Okay, well, we'll check back with you.

Stu Burguiere (55:43)

Okay, so now let me take you back to Cash Patel, because something similar was said to me. Here he is, cut 12. So who has Jeffrey Epstein's black book?

E (55:53)

Black book, FBI.

Stu Burguiere (55:56)

But who that is, I mean, there's.

E (55:59)

That's under direct control of the Director of the FBI. Just like the manifesto from the Nashville school shooting of the Catholic school. We still haven't seen that.

Stu Burguiere (56:10)

Right.

E (56:11)

It's not the Nashville police or PD saying, we don't want this out. The FBI air mailed into that operation and said, this is not getting out. Because they do that. Because they. This is another government gangster operation. All these local law enforcement communities get funding from the DOJ and FBI for local programs. And if you don't cooperate, you're not getting your million dollars for this and you're not getting your. And that's a lot of money to these local districts. That's how they play the game. That's why you don't have a Black book.

Stu Burguiere (56:38)

But the black book is not just sitting. I mean, that's hoover power times 10.

E (56:47)

And to me that's a thing I think President Trump should run on, on day one, roll out the black book. And not just that, on day one, roll out all of the text messaging communications we were told were deleted on day one. Play the rest of the video of the pipe bomber on day. You know, he needs. One of the reforms I talk about in government gangsters is you need a central node to be continuously declassifying. This is another thing they do. They over classify and I'm telling you, as a former number two in the IC, they over classify 50% of the stuff there to protect the deep state. Oh no, you can't see that. Nothing to see here. Gina was a master at it, of doing it. And we still haven't seen half of the Russiagate report that we wrote, still under lock and key on how the ICA was originally constructed. We went, we put 10,000 man hours against John Brennan's team that did it. And we found out why they came up with their bogus conclusion. But we couldn't sell it to the world because we couldn't talk about it. And the government gangsters came in and buried it. All of these things. There needs to be a continuing central power, whether it's the White House or off site that says every request that comes in just right out the door, as long as it's not a major threat to national security.

Stu Burguiere (58:04)

Liz, they're both very clear it it existed. But Pam Bondi did not say she had any names in it. She kind of made me feel like she hadn't really even looked at it. Cash Patel gave me the impression he had seen it or at least he knew about it. So how do we go from here?

Glenn Beck (58:26)

Listen, people care deeply about the Epstein file because there was a grisly crime that we know for a fact was committed. Epstein was convicted that it wasn't speculative, he was convicted of it. People feel that there's evidence of a cover up. Not, not. We don't, we're not inventing a conspiracy. There's evidence of a cover up of this crime. Pam Bondi as Attorney General has exacerbated this trust. And it gives me no pleasure to say this because I like to give the benefit of the doubt to people that are on our side. But going back to that day at the White House in February, I haven't told this part of the story before. Attorney General Pam Bondi, when we met with her, we weren't at The White House to meet with her. We just met with her. While we were there, Pam Bondi bragged to us about making that cover sheet on the binder, the one that read the most transparent administration in history. She said she had made it, she had printed it, she was proud of it. She placed it on that binder. Going to call that a severe lack of judgment would be the understatement of the year. There is no way in my mind, and I have tried every way to Sunday to square that behavior with the announcement that we got last night from the Department of Justice. Pam Bondi told us at the time, she said, I requested the Epstein files. The files in the binder were the ones given to me. Nothing was in them. She told us at the time. Then a whistleblower called her. She told us and said the SDNY was hiding other files. That's the story. She told us that there's been a Deep State cover up. So at the time, after we were given these binders, we waited, right? You give your side the benefit of the doubt, maybe Pam Bondi will come up with the goods, even though the rollout was botched, to say the least. But she. This is another thing I have not discussed publicly before. She said she had not seen the SDNY documents at the time that she was telling us about them. I asked her directly that day in the White House when she said a whistleblower told us about these truckloads of SDNY documents. I said, have you seen them? She said, no, she sent the request and they're bringing them to her. So contextualizing all of this, suddenly this seems like unforgivable behavior. How could she give the American people, not just me? I don't care about how this impacts me. How could she give the American people those phase one binders that contained nothing while at the same time bragging about the COVID sheet that she made the most transparent administration in history and tell us that the SDNY had the real goods, that the binder was just proof of a deep state cover up. That was the real story. She told us only now to say, sorry, there's actually nothing. So it leaves us with this situation. What are the options? The options as well, was she herself set up by some Deep State FBI career officials trying to make a fool of her possible, maybe even probable. But here's the thing. If you are smart, if you are savvy, if you are sharp enough to be the Attorney General of the United States, you verify such information. You don't assume its veracity and publicize it for clicks. And that's what she did. So then we get to the point that we think, okay, well, what does this say about her judgment? Is she just click thirsty? Is she wanting to be a Fox News star? Did she get out over her skis trying to make news, being, you know, a mega champion with those binders that maybe she had not verified the contents of, and she definitely hadn't verified the contents of the SDNY truckload. You can't square this announcement with the binders, the announcement yesterday with the binders in February, unless you allow for the idea that Pam Bondi could be operating in a way that is unacceptable. Went on Fox News, said she had a client list on her desk to review when she actually hadn't looked at the documents and was just saying that to be a television star, I say this in somewhat sorrowfully. If I'm President Trump, I would not tolerate this behavior anymore. She has become a liability to his administration. I think the administration is probably just now coming to the realization of how much goodwill this whole debacle has cost them with their voters. And Pam Bondi is not worth it. She's a liability. It's time to move on.

Stu Burguiere (62:13)

Okay, let me continue the conversation because I want to throw out another possibility, and it involves us, all of us, you and me and all of us. And we'll do that in 60 seconds. Back with Liz Wheeler in 60 seconds. First, you know, we just spent a weekend celebrating our freedom. Cookouts and fireworks and flags waving in the breeze. That's a good thing. America is worth celebrating. But in the middle of all of that, it's worth remembering that there are millions of human beings, millions of American babies, who never, ever get a chance to taste freedom because they never get to draw their first breath. They never see the light of day because their lives end before they begin. And this is why preborn exists. They provide free ultrasounds to women considering abortions. Because when a mom sees her baby and sees the heartbeat or hears the heartbeat, she's far more likely to choose life. Preborn walks her through the whole journey with counseling and supplies and love two years after the birth. Because preborn doesn't care just about the baby. It's not just about making sure that baby is born, but making sure that mom is okay as well. And mom and baby have a chance of really having a great life to be able to then go on and celebrate freedom. And the best way we can do that is by defending those who have none. This is what preborn does every single day. We stand with Preborn. One ultrasound is $28. Five ultrasounds is $140. All you have to do is just hit the pound 250 on your phone. Pound 250. Say the keyword baby. Hit pound 250 keyword baby. Or just go to preborn.com beck and you can donate there. Preborn.com beck sponsored by Preborn 10 seconds station ID. And then we're going right back with Liz. So, Liz, I think you're probably in the same place that I'm in. I really like Dan Bongino. I trust him. I really like Cash Patel and I trust him. I don't know Pam Bondi, so I can't personally vouch for anything there. And I don't want to think that there's something nefarious going on. And I think it is likely. At least this is, this is the most logical thing. Before you jump into the conspiracies, we should take one stop and say, Kash Patel was wrong, Pam Bondi was wrong, Dan Bongino was wrong. I was wrong. We didn't have the information. What information we did have, we took and we assumed that that was correct and we were wrong about it. And now, now that they have access, they're wrong. But I'm not hearing them come out and say, you know, I made deep and profound mistakes because for years I had been saying this and here's why I was wrong. And I don't think there's any shame in saying you're wrong, but that is the most charitable explanation I can give is that all of us were wrong about that. And the left would love that to be true. And quite honestly, I would rather have that be true than, you know, this deep state is getting around the Trump administration and they're devouring our DOJ or whatever is happening. What do you think the possibility is that all of us were just wrong? And what has to be asked and answered to prove that?

Glenn Beck (65:57)

Well, do you think you were wrong about Jeffrey Epstein and about deep state cover up, do you think? I don't. I don't either.

Stu Burguiere (66:09)

I don't have any information other than my gut, but go ahead.

Glenn Beck (66:13)

No, I think we do have information. Our gut is important, by the way, because that's our subconscious way of piecing together the puzzle pieces that are spread out in our mind. And so it's not just a feeling that we should ignore. That's intuition. And that's like, like I said, sometimes your gut tells you before your mind pieces it together. But I think we do have evidence that there, that, that contradicts what we're being told, even from people we trust like Dan Bongino and Cash Patel. And that's why it's so bothersome to us, because we want to trust these people. They're the good guys. Most of us are friends with them. And yet we're getting, we see this information. I mean, even think of the medical examiner, the outside medical examinations that happened to Epstein's body showed contradictions in his physicality with a story that he committed suicide, his hyoid bone was broken, for example. These things you shouldn't ignore.

Stu Burguiere (67:01)

Okay, if you can hang on one more, I'm going to ask you to just hang one more time and come back because I, I want to hear what you're going to say about Pam Bondi today. Glenn Beck.

So Liz Wheeler is with us from the Liz Wheeler Program. She is fantastic. If you haven't watched the Liz Wheeler show, make sure you listen to it. Blaze TV host Liz Wheeler, also the author of Hide your Children, which is kind of good advice, you know, pretty much at all times now in America. You are, are you going to call for Pam Bondi's resignation or firing today?

Glenn Beck (69:13)

Liz, what I'm going to do is suggest to President Trump that he analyze whether Pam Bondi has become a liability to his administration. And I think he probably already realizes this. He's a smart guy, he's a good CEO. He probably realizes that she has when people care about the Epstein files in a totally different way than they care about the JFK files, we're all curious about, you know, who killed jfk. But the Epstein files just get people in the gut a very different way than almost any other deep state targeting. And President Trump has lost a lot of goodwill with his voter base. I didn't anticipate that this was, that this would happen. It caught me off guard a little bit at the end of February after the binders came out. But people turned so quickly on the Trump administration. It's not worth it. Pam Bondi is not a liability that's worth continuing.

Stu Burguiere (70:02)

So here is the thing, first of all, well, it's not just the Epstein case. It's not. It's just a symptom. This is probably the biggest because people like me and you and everybody, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, when he had a show, we all talked about this at great length. And so it's not like we're just obsessed with Epstein. No, no, no. We need to know because just like when they started coming after our children with CRT in schools, that's when America started to care. This is about children being molested and possibly by some intel guy, either from our intel or from foreign intel. I mean, why did our CIA director meet with Epstein over and over again? He's not connected to intel at all. Really. Okay, so it is a symptom of the bigger problem. And the bigger problem in my world is, you know, why don't we know about the pipe bomber yet? Let me say it this way. First of all, I don't care about the individual case as much as I care about making a dent. We were promised that people would go to jail over Covid. Haven't seen any action on that. What about the Supreme Court? Who leaked that Supreme Court Dobbs case? I can tell you from a very high, high in the know, absolutely style source, they know who it is. They just won't do anything about it because of who it is. What about all of the January 6th, the Capitol Hill police, the video that shows that people perjured themselves. Nobody went. How about. How about the Russia hoax? Russia, Russia, Russia. Nothing has happened on that. Why haven't we seen people go to jail yet or at least have charges filed against them? And I think that's why Pam is a liability, because either. And this should be addressed either there's three options. They're lying to us, which I hope is the least likely. Two, they. They lied to us in the way that it was like, lock her up. Lock her up. Oh, we're not going to lock her up. But I think it's way beyond lock her up. And that's a mistake. Or they. Everybody made a mistake and now nobody wants to admit it. None of those can stand because that will kill the Trump administration. I think Donald Trump needs to understand this is personal to people. If you don't cut the spending and you don't fire those who are obviously involved in a deep state thing, you don't have anything. Really. What are you doing? You know, those are the campaign promises that are visceral to people.

Glenn Beck (73:11)

Yes. Because what you're describing can be encapsulated in one word, and that word is justice. We don't want purple locks and orange jumpsuits because we're vindictive or because we're trying to target our political enemies. We want arrests of people who have weaponized the power of the federal government, abused their power, and weaponize that power against us, to harm us, to target our children and to destroy our families. And we voted for President Trump because he promised us justice. And justice requires not just us being in charge of these government seats, it requires actual justice. Which is. Which is. Which would require arrest because crimes have been committed. When it comes to the pipe bomber, I have to say I do deeply care about that particular aspect of January 6th. And while you can't say that you're confident in anybody in government at this point anymore, if I could. There's my sentences. I'm coming out for you. If. If I could say that I'm confident that we will get to the bottom of that case, that would be the case that I'm confident we will untangle. And let me tell you, Glenn, when we do, that one's fundamental, that one's foundational to untangling exactly what happened, what was inflicted on us on January 6th, and we are going to get justice in that case. Mark my words, that one's coming down the line.

Stu Burguiere (74:30)

I agree. Dan Bongino has told me off the air that they are close, they are working on it could fall apart at any time. But they are, they've doubled their efforts on that because they believe they're close on that one. However, you know, I, I, I, I go back to, you know, what you just said is absolutely right about justice. But if, if we were wrong about these cases and it was just at Jeffrey Epstein and, you know, and his, and his, you know, Robin to his Batman, who was setting him up with children and it was only him and the children, then we need to know that and know that for sure. And then honestly, once the people on our side are convinced of it and can see all the evidence that that is true, we need to be able to say, wow, we were wrong, so we don't get it wrong again. You can't build a house house if you can't pull out some of the things, the cornerstones that have been laid improperly. If this was wrong, if we got it wrong because everybody was telling us it was this direction and our gut was telling us we must know the truth and have the evidence that we can all look at and go, holy cow, we were wrong the whole time. So we can adjust. How can I possibly be a credible individual if, if I don't, if, if this isn't solved one way or another with credible evidence, not just somebody's word.

Glenn Beck (76:08)

I can't take it, I can't take.

Stu Burguiere (76:09)

People'S word for this.

Glenn Beck (76:11)

No. And we shouldn't even Dan Bongino often says that we shouldn't trust him. We should look at the evidence. Okay, well, we need to be shown the evidence. That's another problem, too. And this is, this is the most simple way of encapsulating this, is we were told we would get the Epstein file. Okay, so give us the Epstein files. Don't. I mean, we know how powerful words are in politics. Think about H.W. bush saying, Read my lips, no more taxes. His entire reelection campaign was tanked because he then raised taxes. The same thing's going to happen in the midterms to Republicans if they, if the Trump administration promises we will be transparent about the Epstein files. And then suddenly, on a Sunday night after July 4th, they release a weird memo that says, actually, we're not going to release anything else to you because we don't think it's warranted. You shouldn't believe anything that you've seen. Just take our word for it. Without evidence, goodbye. That's not going to cut it for the American people. It's going to make us cynical and bitter and it's going to deflate us.

Stu Burguiere (77:03)

Would it be different if you had seen people actually served papers on, you know, the, the COVID debacle and you had seen people that we were making progress or somebody, you know, was arrested with the pipe bomb or there was, there was movement towards arrests or towards a trial on any other of if they had two or three of these other things and they were all percolating and you're like, well, they got that guy, they got that guy hadn't gone to trial yet, but they, they've identified and arrested them, would that make a difference on this one? Because I think it would.

Glenn Beck (77:46)

It would certainly make a difference in the trust the American people have in the Trump administration. If we were seeing justice being enacted, then we would view what the debacle of the Epstein binders as just, okay, well, they're not prioritizing that because they have higher, more pressing priorities, which I think we would all agree with if they were actually pursuing justice about January 6th and about COVID Those are 100% or higher on my priority list than the Epstein stuff is that was never number one on my, on my list of what I wanted to see justice about. But we haven't seen that yet. I mean, there are a lot of questions that I would need to have answered specific, regarding specific pieces of evidence from the FBI, from the DOJ before I would believe these dismissals. Right. Remember that Amy Warbach ABC anchor tape from years ago that released by project and she was, she was saying, I had all the story on Jeffrey Epstein and even implicated Clinton, but my bosses wouldn't let me air it because they wanted to get an interview with the palace, the UK Royalty. They wanted a Will and Kate interview, so they didn't want to mention Prince Andrew in it, so we weren't allowed to air it. I want answers about that before I just say, oh, Jeffrey, I. Epstein was the only client, you know, Ghislaine Maxwell was just trafficking to him. Well, what about Prince Andrew? What about the fact that they've taken him out of public life? That's. If that's not an implicit admission of guilt, I don't know what is. I don't think they would do that if they didn't believe it was true. I need a lot, and that's one of many examples that I would need explicitly addressed and I would need to be the one to be able to judge the evidence that contradicts what we have seen thus far, if that exists. And I mean, I don't believe it exists, but I'm not ideologically tied to this position. I. The highest thing that I'm pursuing here is the truth. You show me evidence, and I'll let it lead where it may.

Stu Burguiere (79:39)

Liz, thank you very much. I think you're very thoughtful. And you're, You're, you're, you're just. You're well spoken on this. Thank you so much, Liz. Appreciate it.

Glenn Beck (79:47)

Thank you, Glenn. I appreciate it.

Stu Burguiere (79:49)

You bet. Liz Wheeler from the Liz Wheeler Show. You know, we're in a situation where I've been saying to you for weeks, we. We can't turn on each other. We can't turn on. I mean, you want to know how? You know, Elon Musk starts his new stupid third party. And I can't. I shouldn't say it's stupid, because there's times I just want to throw them all out. And if. If I believed that we could have, you know, the rebellion that we had against the Whigs and it would turn out the way it did with Abraham Lincoln, then I would be for it. I don't think this is it, because the people aren't passionate enough, you know, unfortunately, about the debt, or we would have had, you know, progress on the debt. It's not visceral enough yet for people. And that is his one issue. But you start putting things like this together and you make. Make up ground on it. That's why the President and Dan Bongino and Cash Patel, and again, I don't. I can't speak for Pam Bondi. I know the other two, and I have spoken to Dan recently on this, and he's very frustrated because they are making progress on things. The problem is there hasn't been any movement of significance on any of these issues. Nobody has gone to jail, even for perjury. And we know that people. Why hasn't. Why, why haven't they at least filed charges against Fauci? We know he perjured himself. We know it. Well, the cost is too high. You know, we'll never really get him on that anyway. Well, you know what? But at times you have to just swing, just swing. At least put up a good fight on it. Um, but there doesn't seem to be anything that the public sees yet. And that is my real concern, because I trust these guys, and I don't want to go down the rabbit hole of not trusting them. But just somebody needs to be on the inside saying, hey, guys, I know you're really busy. I know how. I know what you're doing, but this is how it looks to the American people. And there's some Easy ways to fix it. Fix it.

Jason Buttrill (82:16)

All right, Glenn, real quick, just quickly mention, I know this doesn't cover all of what you're talking about, but if you. Just to remind you that our wonderful former President Joe Biden did pardon Anthony Fauci for every crime he may have committed between the years of, I think, 2014 and his time leaving office. So it does cover quite a bit.

Stu Burguiere (82:34)

Of an auto payment.

Jason Buttrill (82:36)

Yeah, I get. I know there's controversy around it. Just wanted to just remind us of what a wonderful president we had.

Stu Burguiere (82:42)

I know we, you know, we have all of these. We have all of these investigations going on in Congress. I don't care about the congressional hearing because they don't go anywhere ever, ever. I'm interested in what the FBI is doing and what the DOJ says we're going to prosecute. They need more transparency just to show the American people where they are on things. And let's just start moving on the easy ones. For the love of Pete, just start moving on the easy ones. Because it's not about Jeffrey Epstein. It's really not. It's about, are we going to get justice? All right, back in just a second. Prageru is our sponsor. I have to tell you, there is so much trouble with American history right now. You ask people, you know, what is 1776 mean? Why is that year significant? You would not believe the number of people that just. They have no idea. What's the Bill of Rights? Why does America exist? Who did we break away from on our revolution? Most people would say it's the South. When a country forgets its story, it forgets its purpose. And that's why Prageru is so important, especially right now. I have partnered with Prageru, and I am so thrilled to have them on the program. And we're going to be doing a lot of things together in the coming years. They're not just talking about the problem. They're doing something about it. Prageru has launched a national initiative called America250 to help restore the founding values in time for America's 250th birthday. They're creating free daily videos that challenges that teach real history, not the rewritten kind. This is stuff you actually want your kids to learn about with the founding Fathers, the Constitution, and what personal responsibility actually looks like. Freedom, faith, and so much more. It's patriotic, it's powerful, and it is exactly what the country needs right now. We're in a battle for America's soul. I want you to go to prageru.comamera250 Sign up for their history and civics challenges. There is more on this to come. Go to prageru.com American prageru.com America250 there you have it. The truth stripped down like a fence post in a prairie storm. Glenn Beck returns after this.

Jason Buttrill (85:20)

Jason Buttrill (92:48)

First the floods, without a doubt, I think is the biggest story of the day. It is.

Stu Burguiere (92:54)

You know why you say that? That because you have a heart. Now listen to Jason. Listen, he's not going to say that. Go ahead, Jason. What's your biggest story of the day?

F (93:01)

I'm madder than I'll get out, Glenn. It's all about this Epstein crap. I don't even. I'm going to get you in trouble right now. I don't know if I should.

Stu Burguiere (93:10)

Yeah, well, I don't. Hang on, Grinch. I want to hear a little bit. I want to hear about really people dying before we get to you, Jason. So, Stu what is the, what is the. I mean, besides the, the amazing rescues. Did you hear about the guy who was in his home? I think it was a trailer with his, maybe his mother in law or his wife. I think it was his mother in law and two children. They couldn't get out by the time it was up to their ankles. And by the time he gathered all the children and tried to open the door, it was up to the waist and he couldn't open the door. And so he broke the bedroom window and took the mattress and was shoving it out the window and with his kids on top of it. And he, he cut his arm and sliced the artery on the broken glass. Sliced the artery? Almost, I mean, yeah, you know, almost cut his arm completely off. He's hemorrhaging as he's still pushing the kids and everybody out the window. And at the very end he says, I'm not gonna make it, but stay safe, I love you. And he dies. Yeah. Rescuing his family. I mean, it's amazing stories coming out of this. Yeah.

Jason Buttrill (94:26)

I mean, that's why it's one of the worst stories that I can remember in a long time. Certain stories hit you in different ways, right. Like I, I, Yeah, I always thought, you know, and maybe it's, you know, the era of life that you're in. Right. Like I was had, you know, very. You're at the beginning of. I have kids that like were going to camp or thinking about going to camp this year. They're right around the age of group of these girls that were killed. And you know, you think about back to like the other one that always hits me like, this is Newtown. You know, obviously all these shootings are different, but like the Newtown one in particular, just, you know, five year olds and like just completely, you know, completely innocent and just awful. So it hits me, it hits you at that level. And then you also see the, the reaction to it, which has just been so ridiculous. All these false claims about how. Well, it's the budget cuts that have reason for this. It's absurd. Heartless people who are making these political points on the backs of dead children. It's disgraceful.

Stu Burguiere (95:27)

I mean, especially when you know the facts. Two people usually are on duty, you know, at Noah, there were five on duty because they knew the storm was coming. All of this stuff about budget, I can't take it. It's something poorly, you know, in hour one of the podcast today. And it, you know, I just can't take the, I cannot take the, the moral. I don't know. Snobbery of the left anymore. The fact that just, they're just. They're morally superior to everybody else. And we know. And that's why the budget shouldn't have been cut. You have no idea what you're even talking about. Stop it. Just stop it. All right, so, Jason, with your heart full of compassion or tinsel, I can't remember which one it is, you're saying the. The Epstein story is the biggest. And. And why is that? Because I think Epstein is not the story. I think it is the truck or the vehicle that is bringing this story. But what the real story is here is the lack of justice, it seems.

F (96:44)

Yeah, and you're right there. How I'm feeling on this. I mean, we've gone from. Let's just go do a quick flyby of the timeline. We've gone from, we're going to release the Epstein list. We're going to figure this out. Then the next year or so it went to, well, we just need more time to do this. As Pam Bondi was saying. And then Pam Bondi again, the Epstein list is on my desk. And now there is no Epstein list. We're not sure what you're talking about. I'm just predicting the future.

Stu Burguiere (97:14)

Hang on. Don't. Just stop it. It's on my desk.

Chip Roy (97:17)

Desk.

Stu Burguiere (97:18)

Then the next line from her was that they are stopping us from getting all of the information we need in New York City at the FBI office. And that's when I got on the air and said, if that is true, why aren't you there arresting those people who are being insubordinate in the pursuit of justice? And nothing happened, which just didn't ring true to me. There's something wrong.

F (97:47)

Right? And before I get to that point, I'll just say that in the future, we're now going to be saying that Epstein never existed, period. He is just a made up person. We don't even know who. He's probably scrubbed from the Internet at that point. But, Glenn, the only thing I can come up with here, there's two explanations, right? Do you want the Dark one or the not so Dark one first? I'll let you choose.

Stu Burguiere (98:10)

I mean, go with a Dark One first, so then we have a happy ending.

F (98:15)

Okay, so this is the Dark One. Why have these things not gotten out? Why is the list not gotten out? Why is this still being a secret? Imagine, if you will for a second the economic impact of. Let's say there is a list. The economic impact that multiple major CEOs, Fortune 500 guys the richest people in the world are on this list. Now imagine having to choose, do we let this out? And then you're, like, right there, you know, talking to the big decision makers. If we let this out, the US Economy will take this hit, this hit, this hit, this hit. Can we do that right now? And imagine that this has gone through multiple different presidential administrations with the same exact choice to make. Are they willing to let that happen?

Stu Burguiere (99:03)

Can I tell you something? Can I tell you something? I learned something about myself. I think it was last week or the week after or the week before. What was the week when we bombed Iran, when we were 14 years ago. Doesn't it.

Jason Buttrill (99:18)

It's so weird.

Stu Burguiere (99:18)

When we were going through that, I. I wrestled with my. I know about Iran. I know the threat they pose. I know the threat they pose to the United States of America. But as I put myself in Donald Trump's shoes, I thought, this is why I couldn't be president. Could I make the choice that I'm so certain that I could be the guy that started World War Three? You know, it's a very lone. The presidency is a very lonely place. It all rests on you. And I just didn't think I would, you know, I said to myself, well, that's why you're not president, nor should you ever run for president, because I don't know if I would have had the guts to do what he did, which I think is the right thing on this one. Oh, the economy crashes because we have people who are pedophiles. I shut the whole country down. I don't really care. I don't care. The economy collapses. Good. It should collapse. This cannot stand. This is children being molested. I have no. I don't lose a wink of sleep if the economy nose dives.

F (100:23)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (100:23)

Do you?

F (100:24)

I don't. I've never been in that position. To where I have to make that call. I would like to say, yes, I would not. I would do exactly what you said that they would do, but I don't. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors? And you went geopolitical there. That was my other half to that dark scenario was multiple different world leaders. World leaders that you have trade agreements with, that you have multiple defense packs with all those things. What if they're on there? What do you do now? What do you do? There's phone conversations between their intelligence communities, yours, the leaders themselves. Do you let this out? And again, this goes back multiple different presidential administrations. Who knows?

Stu Burguiere (101:03)

Who knows? Can I tell you what went through my head when you said that, I first thought, well, this is how bad this is. Another reason why I'm not president is because if I had world leaders on that list, yeah. I would probably hold their names back only if they gave me everything I wanted. I mean, I would use it as political blackmail. I would be like, yeah, you know what? Yeah, your tariff is going to be 80% now.

F (101:28)

Okay.

Stu Burguiere (101:28)

And by the way, you know who's on our side all the time, no questions asked. I think about bombing, you know, a couple of neighborhoods in your country. Guess who's going to be leading it? You.

F (101:39)

Okay.

Stu Burguiere (101:40)

You know what I mean? It's so bad to say that, but I would be tempted to go, oh, well, we're going to get a few things that need to be done. Done.

F (101:48)

Okay. So you went exactly. To the lighter explanation. So for in my mind, there's only two. But your mind went exactly. So this is the light side. The only other explanation I can think of why this is happening. That the second one is we know the intelligence community is involved in this somehow.

Jason Buttrill (102:04)

Like.

F (102:05)

Like Liz Wheeler said.

Stu Burguiere (102:06)

Why do you say that? Why do you say that?

F (102:08)

The CIA director does not just go and pay attention to. In a direct meeting with a guy involved in a. If it's a. If it's a low end sex trafficking case, he doesn't just go there because it's a low end sex trafficking case and have meetings, doesn't do it.

Stu Burguiere (102:22)

Give me the. Give me the actual scenario on who visited and when, what, what. Where in the timeline was it this.

F (102:29)

Was Biden's CIA director last administration. It might even happen before he was CIA director, had multiple meetings with Epstein himself. And then even, even before that, as you mentioned before, Alex Acosta, when he was with DOJ handling this case, said, I was told to back off. I was told he does belong to intelligence.

Stu Burguiere (102:55)

Correct.

F (102:55)

We know the intelligence community was involved some way. If the reporting is accurate, which is.

Jason Buttrill (103:03)

You know, something we can allow for potentially some of it not being. And you know, you do have at times whistleblowers that aren't accurate on their claims.

F (103:10)

Yeah. So if not, I would love to hear those specific explanations.

Stu Burguiere (103:14)

Sure.

F (103:14)

Which we haven't had. Haven't happened yet. So the, the lightest explanation I can think of is that, and this is similar to. Because I. Glenn, you know, you had me go deep into the JFK files. Some of the things we found once we got into them was that, well, there was a lot of conversations that sounded guilty in the JFK assassination stuff. It made the CIA look, not great in multiple different areas. So the lightest possible explanation I can think of here is that the intelligence community at least thought about allegedly possibly leveraging this situation. Like, oh my gosh, who was involved. Maybe we can somehow leverage this in our favor somehow. Whether that's through trade deals, whether that's through defense packs, whether it's whatever. Think of something. It was discussed, possibly it was never acted upon. Who knows? But they look guilty somehow. And if that's the case, we won't find this out for another, another 50 years once they have like another JFK file release, something like that. I don't think we find out at this point.

Stu Burguiere (104:14)

So let me give you a scenario when I come back and give me one minute and I'm going to come back and I want to lay out a scenario to see if you as a, just as a human being, not American or anything else, just as a human being, if you would accept this. Get to it here in 60 seconds. First, our sponsor is Relief Factor. I mean, you know, just spent the weekend celebrating our freedom, you know, you know, when you are out and about, you feel it all the time. I went for a hike yesterday. What is wrong with me? I know, I know. I was feeling good, so I went for a hike with my wife. Hike. How did she ever sell that to me? Anyway, I want to talk to you about Feeling Better. A natural daily supplement designed to give you relief to fight the inflammation that causes all of the back, all of the pain that's in your back, in your knees, in your shoulders, your neck, the stuff that hurts because you lived a life and now your body's collecting interest on that life. Relief factor doesn't cover up the pain. It actually helps you deal with it. So you can do the things like walk and sleep the way normal people do things and maybe even stand up without sounding like a bag of microwave popcorn. Try Relief Factor. Now your future doing normal things awaits. Give their three week quick start a try. For 19.95, visit relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief 800, the number four relief. 10 seconds and we're back to the conversation. Okay, okay, let's. You're married to a spouse and you trust your spouse. You always have. But then your spouse has left a receipt for a hotel or a motel in their jacket and you find it and you're like, what the. You don't say anything and then you start to see charges about nice dinners out. And then there's the late night meetings that start to happen. And he's gone on weekends, and he has a perfectly good excuse for all of them. You know, he had to work this weekend. I had to meet with this client, but he's traveling around, etc. Etc. And then there's Amex charges to places like Tiffany's, and there's no gifts coming. Okay? And so you finally take all of these things and you say there could be a perfectly good reason, a reasonable explanation for all of this, but he says it's not happening. It's just not happening. Is it reasonable for you to accept that? I don't think so. Is it reasonable to say, honey, I've always trusted you, I still trust you, but these things don't fit into the pattern of our normal life, and I just. I can. Can you show me? Why were you staying at this hotel? Who are you having dinner with? Why all of a sudden all these late nights and the weekends and what did you buy at Tiffany's? Now, there might be a reasonable explanation for all of it, but you will never, ever be able to have a good relationship in your marriage if he doesn't explain fully all of those things, because you will always have in the back of your mind, I think he was cheating on me. And that's the problem. We have too many receipts. We have too many late nights. We have too many dinners out. We have too many lies that haven't been. That haven't made sense. And it's all the same kind of people. You know, the intel people. It's. It's all the same, and we never seem to get an answer. And now what Pam Bondi, apparently, and. And Dan Bongino and Cash Patel are asking is we're married to them where they're our spouse. We love them. We love them. We've always trusted them. But, guys, you cannot come to us and just expect us to dismiss all of these receipts. You have to take them one by one and say, like you did with the. With the prison cam. Okay, so I see the prison cam. That's great. Now, Liz Wheeler says, I'd like to see what's inside. Is there a way out that's reasonable? Let me see the room. Is there any way in or out? I doubt it. But is there any way in or out that room? Well, then, okay, you've given me the receipt. Great. Now let's just go down the checklist. What happened? Why was a prosecutor told, back off. He belongs to Intel? What happened with Prince Andrew? Was he the only client? What happened to the black book? Did that not exist? Did you get that wrong Pambandi. You said it was sitting on your desk. Were you lying to us or did you just shoot your mouth off? Which is you know can happen. You just shot your mouth off and you hadn't even looked at it. You had no idea there was nothing in it. And then when you looked at it. But then you came to us the next day or a couple of days later and you said, oh well, they're obstructing us from getting all of the information. But you never arrested anyone. You never even send anybody to question them. That we know of now. Maybe you did, but you haven't said anything. That's a gift from Tiffany's that we haven't received a present. And what did you just buy at Tiffany's? I'm sorry, you can't just say it was a gift for somebody, okay? It wasn't what you thought it was. Great. Tell me what it is is and show me the evidence. That's all I'm asking for. And it's perfectly reasonable. This is Glenn Beck. You know, I learned something because I went almost 10 years without a dream and it was not good. It was not good. Your body just falls apart. Your body needs to dream, you know, while you're riding that giant raccoon through the grocery store that turns into a pirate ship. What your body is actually doing is something useful. It's recharging, it's repairing your muscles, it's balancing your home hormones and it's clearing out all that mental clutter that you built up from emails, group texts, washing, far too much reality tv. And it's just filing everything in the right way so your body can work the right way. Look, if you can't fall asleep, you can't dream. If you can't dream, your body doesn't do any of the jobs that it's supposed to do. And this is where Z Factor comes in. It's a natural non habit forming sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor. Designed to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. And you'll wake up feeling like a human being again. So try it. No more groggy mornings, strange side effects, just real restorative sleep. It's Z Factor from Relief Factor. Relief factor, get it now. 46% savings, 30 day supply relief.

Mercury one is on the ground in Texas right now. Help them out. Mercury1.org Mercury1.org.

Stu Burguiere (112:04)

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Jason Buttrill (112:08)

So Glenn, where does this leave you? Because I think coming into this. On which, on the Epstein thing, okay? Coming into this administration I think that if, like, you had to design a team that would be responsible for investigating this, you wouldn't have picked Pam Bondi. No, knock on Pam Bondi. But you don't. You don't know her. But you probably would have picked Cash Patel and Dan Bongino.

Stu Burguiere (112:36)

Easy.

Jason Buttrill (112:36)

As part of that group.

Stu Burguiere (112:37)

Would have easy. So would have easy.

Jason Buttrill (112:39)

What could. Why? Why? I mean, why would the belief linger if they are telling you this is not the. This is not the evidence they have. Why would the belief linger with you that maybe they're not telling the whole truth?

Stu Burguiere (112:57)

No, I'm not saying that they're not telling the whole truth. I'm not saying that. That. I'm saying they're not closing the loop. For instance, Dan Bongino called me right after the first time, and we had a long talk, and he said, glenn, you know me. And I'm like, I do know you. I'm not. I'm not saying that you're lying. I'm saying you got to close the loop. And he said, glenn, I watched the video. Said, dan, you got to release the video. He said, okay, we'll release the video, but that still won't be enough. And he's right.

Jason Buttrill (113:28)

And he's right not.

Stu Burguiere (113:29)

I'm not questioning he's right about that, but I'm not questioning the suicide. I'm satisfied now, seeing the video. Now, Liz said, I'd like to see the room. Was there an adjoining room and another way out? Well, no. Prisons don't, you know, prison cells don't usually have. But just take a picture of. You know what I mean? Just take a picture of that room that he was in. That's all you need. And then that pretty much sews it up, unless you want to go deeper, that the tape was edited or whatever. But you can't satisfy everybody all the time, right? But that doesn't solve the Epstein. Epstein. It was rumored that he killed himself, and it's logical that he killed himself because of the client list. Who was on the client list? That's what we've been talking about for the whole time. Who was on the client list? Who was in his little black book? Who would ride the airplane with him? And even if he wasn't charging for them, who did he have the goods on? Well, now we find out there is no client list, There was no black book, and he never blackmailed anybody.

Jason Buttrill (114:33)

Well, and to be clear, part of this is. Isn't this part of this, the way they're communicating this idea? Because there, we all know There was a list of contacts that's been reported. And we've seen it already. We've already seen that.

Stu Burguiere (114:46)

Yes.

Jason Buttrill (114:46)

The question is, is there an additional list beyond the one we already know about, which does not signify illegal activity? It just has a bunch of names, names that are famous people.

Stu Burguiere (114:57)

Right.

Jason Buttrill (114:58)

So when they say there's no client list. Well, we already knew there was a client list. Well, both of those are what they're. They're saying. Both of those are true. Right. We know there was a list, but they're saying that was not an additional list that signified some sort of hardcore record on illegal activity. Correct, that's what they're saying.

Stu Burguiere (115:15)

But by the way, just so you know, this is not just the hardcore. Right. That believes this, because, remember, what is the left saying today? The reason why we're not seeing it is because Donald J. Trump's name is in it.

Jason Buttrill (115:28)

And also. So they believe Elon Musk said that. Yes.

Stu Burguiere (115:31)

Right. So they believe it. Everybody believes that there. There was something going on. Okay, so when everybody believes that something is going on, it's not 13% like it is the Kennedy assassination or the moon shot. It's. It's. Both sides deeply say this happened. All right, so can you clarify before.

Jason Buttrill (115:54)

You go on, Glenn, what is this? Yeah, this happened. What is this?

Stu Burguiere (116:00)

That. That Jeffrey Epstein was a child predator that also was hanging out with others who liked their. Not necessarily children, but their girls to be young, underage, not eight, but 16. Okay. That these girls were procured and trained not just for Epstein, but for others in his friend circle, whether he charged them or not. Okay. And when you have that kind of information on somebody, then you would tend to use it just to get favors.

Chip Roy (116:40)

But.

Stu Burguiere (116:41)

But then you go into the intel, and this is kind of a pattern with intel. This is the things that people have done throughout history is get sexual escapades on tape or have proof of it and then use it to get your own way, either as a country or to blackmail. And so when you're looking at his death, okay. For me, I'm really. I'm ready to go. Okay. Maybe he did kill himself. Okay. I don't see anybody coming through. I haven't done forensics on the tape or whatever, and I suppose we could do that easily, but it doesn't look like anybody went in or out. And I believe that it wasn't edited by Cash Patel and Dan Bongino. Okay. I believe that nobody came in, nobody came out from the time he was put in that night. And somebody Saw him alive to the time they found him dead. There's no, there's nothing going in or out of that door. Okay, that's a big one. But that doesn't that now I have to go. Okay, but he went in for child trafficking. So he was only trafficking for himself. I need to see the receipts on that. And it's not good enough to say, well they're all gone. They never existed. Well then how did you convict him for trafficking children? Okay, then there you have the Prince Andrew thing. That is pretty compelling that Prince Andrew was doing something with, with Epstein. I, I, I, all I need is, I need you. As I said, you know, if your wife or your husband is cheating on you or, or not cheating on you, but you find in their pockets or in their car. Hotel receipts where you never stayed with your, your wife or your husband. There was fancy dinners out on nights that he was supposed to be working. There's hotels and mysterious weekends where all of a sudden he's got to work over the weekend. There's Amex charges to like Tiffany's or someplace where you haven't seen any present. You can't just say, honey, the hotel receipt, that was for business. And you can call Bob at the office. We both. He has a receipt too. I'll show it to you. You okay? That's great. But that doesn't answer the dinner's out, the weekend work, the Tiffany's. Just because you've shown me one. I gotta see answers to all of these. If we're going to repair our relationship as a country, I need to see all of them. I can't have any lingering doubt here. You have to make your case, unfortunately the opposite of what is legally required. I need to be left without, you know, with, with, without the reasonable doubt that something was, was nefarious here through our government. Not just Epstein, but through our government. Okay. Epstein was guilty. I would love to believe that he only, he was the only one molesting these children. I find it hard to believe, but not impossible to believe. But you've got to give me more. Don't ask me for trust, cuz I, I'm the, the bank of trust. And not because of Dan Bongino, not because of Cash Patel. Because of everything that has happened over the last 50 years. The Glenn Beck Trust account is closed. There's no trust left. You can't take any more, you can't take any more out without making significant deposits now. And that's all I'm asking for. Make significant deposit. You started, you did One, you showed me the tape. Great. Now keep showing me stuff. So is that unreasonable?

Jason Buttrill (120:32)

No, I don't think it's unreasonable. I mean, I think they might see it as like, hey, we've got a lot of other things to do that are really important lists we know of. Right.

Stu Burguiere (120:41)

Like maybe we've done. I just saw the big beautiful bill. We've got some money. Spend a few bucks, put a couple of people on this.

Jason Buttrill (120:49)

Right.

Stu Burguiere (120:49)

This is part of your job. I'm sorry, but PR Agreed is a part of your job. You gotta do it.

Jason Buttrill (120:56)

Part of. Would you agree that part of the sort of implicit criticism before Trump got back into office here on this Epstein issue is that basically they had all of this stuff, the Biden administration, they knew all of it and they just didn't release it because they wanted to protect their buddies. They were involved. They, you know, who knows, too many of their friends were connected to it. Right. I think that was somewhat implicit in the criticism of Biden over those years. And like, if you agree that that information was easily accessible to the Bidens in the Biden administration and is not being released here, then you have to come to some sort of conclusion that there is a bad intent by the current Trump administration to hide this from Americans. And I don't think.

Stu Burguiere (121:51)

I don't buy your first premise. Don't buy your first premise because I'm not saying that anyone had access to everything and they were hiding. It might have been. That's what we were told, that it was being held back. Okay.

Jason Buttrill (122:06)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (122:06)

And we were being told by Pam Bondi that after the election.

Jason Buttrill (122:09)

Right.

Stu Burguiere (122:12)

What I have always believed is sexual predators are not just Democrats, they're not just Republicans, they're not just independents, they're all of them. They're not just truck drivers, they're CEOs. So the pressure on all sides to not expose this if it's true, is enormous. But here's where Donald Trump won the election. He convinced us he's not part of that. And I don't believe he is.

Chip Roy (122:47)

Right.

Jason Buttrill (122:49)

Weird to support him if you thought he was a child molester.

Stu Burguiere (122:53)

Yeah, no, not even a child molester. Just not part of the buddy system where I'm to going to protect my buddies.

Jason Buttrill (122:58)

Right.

Stu Burguiere (122:59)

Okay. On anything. Not even this particular case. But I'm not going to play that game. I work for you, the people.

Jason Buttrill (123:07)

And he said that many times.

Stu Burguiere (123:09)

Right, right. And so that's where the trust. And I don't think it has reached him yet. I don't think it has reached Him. I don't think anybody's blaming him. Although if you logically think things through and this is where the real problem comes in, if you suddenly don't believe Dan Bongino and you don't believe Pam Bondi and you don't believe Cash, Pat, Michelle, well, where's Donald Trump? Because they all work for him. And that's the real problem with not believing, you know, because I don't, I don't want to question that. I don't want to go that far. Do I believe Pam Bondi? I'm more willing to say Pam Bondi is just a screw up, nothing nefarious. She just really screwed this one up. I'm willing to believe that one and it doesn't go any further. But if, no, if. Nobody pays a price for Pam Bondi coming on television saying, I got the black book right on my desk. And then after that, you know what? They're, they're, there's nefarious things going on in the FBI office in New York and they are destroying the evidence and they won't allow us to get the evidence. And then you didn't arrest anybody. There was no. And, you know, maybe you got it wrong, but you should have said that wasn't happening. I was misinformed.

Jason Buttrill (124:29)

What do you make of the criticism? And this criticism only works if they really don't have this material on Jeffrey Epstein. There aren't thousands of videos and there aren't all these things. So it only works under that scenario. But I mean, what do you make of the criticism that. Look, part of Donald Trump's strategy was to hire good communicators in these roles. And the way he's found a great job and he's done a good job in that these people know how to talk to the American people.

Stu Burguiere (124:56)

People.

Jason Buttrill (124:57)

But one of the ways he knows that they're good at it is because they had roles in media previously and a lot of them went on podcasts, did interviews, made big sweeping promises that maybe they didn't have the actual backing to the undercurrent of evidence to support. Like maybe they were sort of directionally correct, but they were over promising. They were making big promises on podcasts. And now that they're stuck in a position to have to back that up with real evidence, they're unable to do it.

Stu Burguiere (125:33)

Don't do, I'm not asking you to do me a favor here. I'm asking you to tell the truth because you've worked with me for so long. Let's say Donald Trump hired Me to the role that Dan Bongino is playing because we did the same job. Okay. And this is nothing about Dan Bongino. This is about me.

Jason Buttrill (125:51)

Right?

Stu Burguiere (125:51)

Okay. And I'm in that situation, and I'm exactly where Dan is, where he's like, he didn't kill himself. He didn't kill himself. What would I be doing right now in that role?

Jason Buttrill (126:05)

You would come out and say, gosh, we were wrong. We made all these accusations before and we were wrong on all of them. You would come out and admit it. However, I would also argue that you're pretty unique in that world. You are not the most. One of the things you're most known for, and I would argue maybe one of the reasons why your success has had longevity to it that many others haven't is because you're willing to do that type of stuff and you don't have any friends. That's true. But it's also your willingness to say, hey, gosh, I blew it on this one, and come to the audience and be honest about that. That is, as you know, not the most common thing in the industry. Again, no, no. No wackies, no accus. I'm not, like, commenting on any specific person.

Stu Burguiere (126:46)

I mean, honestly, I think Dan has been on show after show after show saying much of this.

Jason Buttrill (126:51)

Yeah, I think Dan has kind of done that on. On some of this. So, like, you know, he may be. But again, like, if you're going. If you're still holding on after that, you know, you have to have a. I think you're right. Have to have a problem with Dan Bongino. You have to have a problem with Cash Patel, you have to have a problem with Pam Bondi. And ultimately, if Donald Trump, you have to see how he reacts this. But if he says, actually, no, we do have the information and these guys are not giving it to you, that would be a major thing. If Trump is saying, hey, I agree, there's nothing here, then you have to apply that same criticism to him if you believe it.

Stu Burguiere (127:27)

All right, back in just a second. Imagine tucking your child into bed, then having seconds to get to a shelter before a missile hits. Imagine being elderly, sick, disabled, having nowhere to run. That's what our friends in Israel have been living through. Missiles targeting hospitals and homes and schools and families forced to flee in the dead of night. The injured left waiting for care because medics didn't have the gear to reach them safely. This isn't over. These attacks were just a preview of what could be coming next. And that's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is rushing to deliver food, medical aid, first responder gear and bomb shelters to communities in need. The situation is critical and the most vulnerable, the elderly, the infirm and of course, the children are the ones who suffer first. This is our chance to stand in the gap, to be the hands and the feet of compassion and to bring hope where others bring destruction. Now is your time to stand with Israel's innocent and most vulnerable. Rush your gift by calling 888-488-IFCJ 888-488-IFCj or online at IFCJ do and Back. We'll be right back. May I just ask you today as you hear things and as you you're reading things to don't, don't, don't be certain on anything. Don't jump to any conclusion yet. There's still a lot to be heard on both sides. There's time for a conclusion. Ask critical questions, think critically, don't make a judgment at this point.
