Tulsi Gabbard
Down the road where shadows hide Feel the dark on every side Stand your ground when times get down Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
Glenn Beck
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello and welcome. It is Thursday. We have Tulsi Gabbard coming up in just a second. An in depth interview with her on what's coming, what's happening and justice, quite honestly. Tulsi Gabbard joins me in just a couple of minutes. First let me get rid of some of these, some of these interruptions. We're going to go commercial free with Tulsi here in just a second. So let me first tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Evil doesn't sleep, it doesn't negotiate and it doesn't go away just because we're tired of hearing about it. Just yesterday there was another missile attack on Israel. Where were the protests on that one, huh? Funny. Don't seem to really be any protest on that side. But the good news is Canada is going to recognize a Palestinian state. So world can shrug, but somebody actually has to step up and show the Jewish people that they're not alone. I'm not going to fight their fight for them. They're their own country. They can fight and do whatever they want and fight how they believe is right. But I will support the Jewish people. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground right now, right now, right this minute, helping vulnerable families, Holocaust survivors, poor seniors who are sheltering from the rocket fire. They'll provide food, blankets, emergency aid, human dignity, armored vests, armored trucks if they have to. You know, there's, there is a, there is a long standing promise that God asks us to keep and that is stand with his people. So we will stand with his people right now. A gift of $45 can deliver a box of food, a blanket, a care package, the basics, things that we all take for granted. The fellowship has a four star rating from Charity Navigator. They're accountable, they're efficient and most importantly, they show up. So learn more about IFCJ and their life saving work by going online to IFCJ.org that's IFCJ.org One more I want to tell you about. Realestate agentsitrust.com realestateagentsitrust.com this is my company. This is a company that I started when I just could not sell my house. And I just went through all kinds of problems and, and my brother was going through the same thing on the other side of the company, other side of the country. And we both were talking about it, we're like, you know, I don't even know how to find a real estate agent. So I started working with the 500 Best Real Estate agents in the country as named by the Wall Street Journal. And, and I really got to know them, interviewed them and there is A difference on really what a great, what makes a great real estate agent. You know, they know not only the best practices, but they also have a system to be able to market the house that you may not even know. I didn't know until I started talking to these guys and I learned a lot from them. And I thought we should start a company where we can find more of these kinds of people all over the country and recommend them. And we do that for you for free. It's realestate agentsitrust.com we vet these people like six ways to Sunday. Real estate agents, I trust trust.com if you're looking for a real estate agent, go there now. Real estate agents like trust.com. all right. Tulsi Gabbard. Hi, Tulsi, how are you?
Unknown Speaker
I'm good. It's great to see you.
Glenn Beck
Good to see you. First of all, how's everything in Hawaii? We prayed for you and everybody in Hawaii.
Unknown Speaker
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thankfully, the tsunami passed without any real damage. I was talking to my folks and friends and family there late last night here on the east coast coast and just trying to help make sure everyone was prepared for the worst, which is what you have to do. It looked like it was going to be quite potentially very damaging. They were looking at 1 to 3 meter waves, essentially like 10 foot waves. Horrible that, you know, in any respect is kind of a, it's a tough day in the ocean, but for a tsunami that would have been disastrous. And so again, thankfully, everyone is safe and minimal, minimal effect.
Glenn Beck
So let's go into what has been released and what is still yet to come. You know, as I look at the stuff that has, you know, in the declassified documents of Russiagate, it confirms what many of us have already known. Are you surprised at anything at the media not reporting any of this? I mean, we've known a lot of this, but now the media is absolutely silent on it and people seem to be deleting posts and no longer commenting online. What's happening.
Unknown Speaker
Yes, I am not surprised that the mainstream media is refusing to cover this. And if they do mention it, their approach is to try to diminish the effect and the impact of the revelations, the historic revelations that were found in the documents that we declassified and released, or to try to bring voice to detractors and critics who also just say, oh, well, this is bizarre or this is crazy. But when you actually look at the coverage and you look at some of the comments and the quotes that the mainstream media may be choosing to Publish or highlight. They're not actually getting after the very specific pieces of evidence that were released that, quote, people like John Brennan, who was the CIA director, and James Clapper, who was Obama's director of National Intellig. They are not giving voice to the intelligence professionals who, in these reports that we released, were protesting against the very malicious actions that people like Brennan and Clapper were taking at President Obama's direction to create this intelligence assessment that was filled with falsehoods. They're not giving voice to these intelligence professionals because they recognize that it would push forward a very inconvenient truth for the mainstream media because it exposes their complicity in pushing this lie and this hoax from not only day one, but throughout President Trump's entire first administration.
Glenn Beck
And all of these people are still. I mean, Brennan, Clapper, they have been the source on so many things, and they're in with the media. And I wonder if this is just part of more of the same that they're asking them, is there anything to this? And they say, no, there's not. In fact, it's whatever. And then I also wonder, how many people are you surrounded by that are still part of that old system?
Unknown Speaker
It's a good question. As we are finding these documents, going through them, declassifying and releasing them, we are learning more about who is actually directly involved and implicated in this. We're learning more about who may have been in the room and who was loudly protesting against it, recognizing how wrong it was. We have whistleblowers coming forward with their own documentation of their protests and their unwillingness to go along with this. So, yes, there are people who are still working within the intelligence community who had a hand in this. As we are identifying them, it will give us the opportunity to make sure that they and others like them who, again, are so willing to weaponize intelligence to subvert the will of the American people, can no longer work in the intelligence community.
Glenn Beck
So Devin Nunes, Cash Patel, all these guys were in the last time Trump was in. This was produced in the last administration. Why wasn't this. Why didn't this come out then?
Unknown Speaker
You know, it's a good question, and it's an obvious one. I can't speak for those who were there at that time, but I've asked some of these same questions, and they were facing. I can't speak for all of them, but for Devin, for example, and for Cash, they were up against the deep state in many cases who refused to release these documents. If you remember, Mike Pompeo was President Trump's I think he was his first CIA director, followed by Gina Haspel. I was told Gina Haspel refused to release these documents. So again, the more that we find in the documentation as whistleblowers come forward, I think the story will continue to be told about what actually happened and why it is that here we are in 2025. And again, this won't surprise many people who've been following this story very closely for years. But the fact that we have documented evidence and proof is the thing that matters, both to shine a light on the truth, that this wasn't something that was in someone's imagination or concocted. But I think even most importantly, that can drive towards accountability.
Glenn Beck
So Fox News had an exclusive that said Cash Patel found thousands of sensitive documents related to the origins of the Trump Russia probe buried in multiple burn bags in secret rooms inside the bureau. What's a burn bag?
Unknown Speaker
A burn bag is something that you'll find in many offices throughout the intelligence community, throughout, you know, these different workspaces in, in national security. Basically, if I have a document that's, that's highly classified, I read it, I review it, I'm done with it. My copy can then go in the burn bag to make sure that it's not, doesn't end up in the wrong hands, that there's not an unauthorized disclosure of classified information. It's a very different story. However, if you use a burn bag to try to get rid of evidence of which maybe there is only one copy of, and then hide it in a secret room in the FBI, that is a tactic obviously that has been used by those deep staters, these bad actors within the intelligence community, to try to get rid of evidence. Another tactic that's often used is over classifying information. This is what happened with the Steele dossier. This was already widely publicized as a discredited document. But what John Brennan did and James Clapper did as the CIA director and Obama's Director of National intelligence, they didn't want anybody to know that they used the Steele dossier as a source for this intelligence assessment that was filled with falsehoods they published in January of 2017, as well as other really, really shoddy intelligence sources that would not be acceptable on any, to be used on any topic because, because they were not deemed credible, they wanted to hide all of this from members of Congress perhaps who were reading this and the American people and President Trump, then President elect Trump at that time. And so they over classified it in a way that there were less than 10 people who could access it and then they locked up the only hard copy documents. This document did not exist on digits. The document that actually exposed this was the document that we released. They locked that document up and the five copies that existed in a safe. And the first time it had been seen certainly in public, but even by many within the government was when we released it about a week ago.
Glenn Beck
Sunday. John Radcliffe said that there's more declassification of intelligence coming out that shows how deep this went. He said it's stunning. Any idea on the timeline of that?
Unknown Speaker
It's going through the declassification process right now. I expect it to be released very soon. I think the document will speak for itself. And once again, it will, I think, confirm what a lot of people have already known to be true. But it'll connect a lot of the dots that, that have not been revealed in public before.
Glenn Beck
Are you sensing with, I mean, let's see, Mark Elias stop posting on X. Brennan has lawyered up. John Kerry has made his account private. Peter Strzok deleted his entire X history. Are you sensing they feel the walls are closing in?
Unknown Speaker
In my view, that's the only way that I can read this situation. Those who are truly innocent would not be taking those kinds of actions. And once again, this is why it's so important to declassify this information to get the truth out. Because it's something that for anyone who is mildly objective, is irrefutable and undeniable and can be used and is currently being reviewed by the Department of Justice to bring about accountability for those involved.
Glenn Beck
We were talking before we went on the air and I said, you know, I'm really, I'm struggling with my job right now because I don't, I don't. It at times doesn't seem like it, it's worth it, it makes any difference at all because I don't know what I believe in. I don't know what's true anymore. Tulsi. I don't know. You know, I can't sit here and on the air and talk about problems if there's not a solution. It feels insane. It feels insane. I keep doing the same thing over and over again. Beating the head against the wall and saying, look at, here's proof, here's proof, here's proof, and nothing happens. Do you, do you sense that? Do you think the people around you understand how. What danger the country is in right now because they just don't believe there's justice on any front?
Unknown Speaker
Well, first, Glenn, let me just tell you how important your voice is. I Think the first. I'm serious. I'm not just patronizing you. It is your voice and voices like yours where you have the ability to reach and impact people from all political stripes, different backgrounds, different walks of life across the country who are not paying as close attention. I'm just going to keep talking. We're not paying as close attention. We're not paying as close attention to these things in the way that you and your team are and your ability to communicate first. The first challenge and opportunity is to be able to communicate to the American people why they should care about this at all.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Unknown Speaker
What the implications of what we have released and exposed truly are not just for President Trump, not just for Republicans or for Democrats, but for the integrity of our Democratic Republic and the tactics that are being used by the deep state and have been used in order to, in this case, essentially subvert the will of the American people. Because, you know, President Obama and his cohort were not happy that President Trump got elected. So the first thing is being able to really communicate clearly the implications of this on our republic. The second piece of this, yes, it is the accountability piece and I understand the frustration. But. But our system is set up in the way that it is by our visionary founding Fathers. What we have to do is fulfill our duty focused on the Constitution and providing this mechanism for accountability for accountability to take place and doing what the American people really have done best since the founding of our country, which is recognizing the power in each of our voices to make sure that we are calling for that necessary action to begin to restore that trust.
Glenn Beck
I'm sure you can relate. I mean, Dan Bongino posted a cryptic message on X the other day.
Unknown Speaker
I read it.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, he said it shocked me. What I found out at my time at the FBI has shocked me down to the core. We cannot run a republic like this. And I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned. I'm not expecting you to answer for him. But have you felt that way when you've gotten being there?
Unknown Speaker
I have seen up close and personal the tactics that are used by those who care more for themselves. Their ambition, their job, their influence, their political interests, their selfish self serving interests than they care about the Constitution. That every single one of these law enforcement and intelligence community professionals swear an oath just like I have, both in uniform, in the military and as a member of Congress and as Director of National Intelligence to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. This is why what we are doing matters so much. So, yes, I have My own frustrations, trust me. But my resolve is focused and is rooted in my love for our country and my belief in the values and principles that our country was founded upon. And therefore, the responsibility that I carry to do something about that which we are revealing, that which I am seeing and experiencing firsthand. It is a heavy responsibility, but it's also an awesome one. And I spend every day doing my best to fulfill it.
Glenn Beck
You know, we've talked before, and I've said to you, you are in the second most dangerous job, I think, in the nation. You know, President Trump is in the most dangerous job in the nation. And I think, you know, you're working around some, you know, people that do this kind of stuff for a living, and we pray for your safety every night. I'm going to continue the conversation with Tulsi Gabbard in. In a minute, and I'm going to switch. You know, last night I did a TV show that is on fire right now, and it basically is showing you the connections to the radicals that are on the street. And in the show, I said, you know, why hasn't Antifa been deemed a terrorist organization yet? I mean, how are these guys not arrested? How are we not investigating them for terrorists? Because that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to change political leanings, you know, change the country's policies or change politics here through fear and intimidation and violence. That's the definition of terror. We're gonna pick it up with Tulsi on that here in. In just a second. Let me say hello to Stu. Hi, Stu.
Stu Burguiere
Glenn, how are you?
Glenn Beck
Very good, very good.
Stu Burguiere
Tulsi laying it out for us this morning.
Glenn Beck
Yes, she is. Yeah. What Stu is saying here is he got very little sleep last night, and he really hasn't paid attention to a word that anybody has been saying for probably maybe two hours since he's been up.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, Yeah. I would say that's the best summary of my day so far. Right. But that's okay. That's why Tulsi's carrying the show. You know, she's bringing.
Glenn Beck
We certainly don't look to you to carry the show. No, definitely not.
Stu Burguiere
And that's advisable. Again, you're in the radio hall of fame for a reason, making judgments just like that. Congratulations.
Glenn Beck
All right, back with Tulsi Gabbard on terror and Antifa coming up in just a second. Stand by. That was your insight. That's your insight. Okay.
Stu Burguiere
I thought I nailed that.
Glenn Beck
Not really. This is Glenn Beck. All right. You're halfway through your coffee when you hear it. That strange noise outside again. Third time this week. You don't want to overreact. You also don't want to wish later that you had acted. You slide the door lock into place. Just in case, head to the bedroom where your Burner Compact launcher is waiting. Sits on the nightstand in a small lockbox. Legal to own, legal to carry, no permit required. Loaded with non lethal pepper projectiles or tear gas, it'll stop the attacker right in their tracks. We always hope that we don't need to defend ourselves. But if that moment does come when fight or flight isn't a choice, you'll want something that's lightweight, fast, effective and safe to store around kids. The compact Launcher from Burner is small enough to tuck into a drawer, stash into your glove box, or clip on your belt. It is roughly the size of a smartphone. It's built to deliver a message to anybody who thinks you're an easy target. Not today. Not today.

Stu Burguiere
More with the wonderful Tulsi Gabbard coming up right here on the Glenn Beck Program.
Glenn Beck
Back to our Tulsi Gabbard interview. Let me switch subjects here for just a second. Last night I did a show on the really the coming insurrection. The, the, the cabal of socialists and Islamists and anarchists that are looking to destabilize and overthrow the Western world. And it's clear that's what's happening right now. And in the middle of the show, I wondered why hasn't Antifa been labeled a terror organization yet? Why aren't we going after people for terror? Is this not terror, what they're trying to do?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, it's funny you should mention that because I released several documents back in May that really laid out the foundational documents and strategy that the Biden administration used in labeling groups and individuals as domestic violent extremists. You remember this?
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
And you know, it was like, hey, if parents are angry that are worried that their kids may get the COVID vaccine at school without their approval, they may be a potential domestic violent extremist. You know, we had the radical traditionalist Catholics, the then FBI under Obama. I mean, these are examples of what they did. But what was also interesting was how they diminished antifa under the Biden administration, downplaying the, the threat that they posed, again, to the safety and security of our communities. The thing that really, you really touched on and pointed to that doesn't get focused on often enough is the ideology that's driving these groups who do pose a direct threat to the fabric of our country and to the safety and security of the American people.
Glenn Beck
I mean, they don't seem to be afraid of anything. They've never really paid a price. Nobody even names them and really says what they are and what they're doing. I talked to a guy who used to be in kind of the world you live in now, and I said, can we even win this fight without naming it? And he said, we can, but not the way we're fighting. He said they fight day and night. We fight sometimes during the day. We have to be nighttime fighters as well. I didn't want to ask him exactly what he meant by that. But do you, would you agree with that?
Unknown Speaker
I do. I think being very vigilant and being very clear eyed about, again, the ideology that's driving a lot of these people who are here within our country, who are directly working against, again, the Constitution, the founding principles of our country, and really the American way of life. There has to be more of a focus, for example, on those who run around the streets chanting pro Hamas mantras and calls for intifada and action. There's those who are disturbing the peace. Okay, sure. But again, it's the ideology that's driving these individuals that is quite dangerous.
Glenn Beck
One last question. Kind of going back to what we were talking about. As we're talking about these extremists. I see people, you know, the CEO of United Healthcare was shot. Everybody, you know, 40% of you think that that was great. If you go, if Pam Bondi actually goes and charges these people, you know that the press is going to say, see, this is the weaponization of government and they're going to flip the script entirely. And a lot of people will believe that because the media will carry all of that water. How, how concerned are we about the reaction of the left on the streets? With every move that Donald Trump makes, every move like this, does that play a role? Should it play a role in how we proceed?
Unknown Speaker
We have to stand strong for the truth. We have to stand strong for justice and the Constitution and for freedom. These are things that many of these bad actors here, frankly, don't believe in. The mainstream media will do what they do. I think there is A positive here in that fewer and few people, fewer and fewer people actually read the mainstream media. Fewer people actually believe in them. I just saw CNN and MSNBC's viewership numbers from the last week. Absolutely abysmal. There is a rise of viewers and listeners who are tuning into shows like yours and to different podcasts and. And the new media that really represents more, not just people with one view, but really represents real authentic dialogue and conversation versus the filtered, agenda filled narrative that the mainstream media pushes.
Glenn Beck
Tulsi, I'm glad we're friends. I'm glad I know you. I'm glad I live at a time where someone like you can serve. The fact that you were a Democrat, that you switched when you did, and that you have always approached everything that I've ever seen you in with the same attitude that you approached your oath for service to the military. And that gives me hope. So thank you for everything you've done.
Unknown Speaker
I appreciate your friendship, Glenn. And we must be filled with hope because God is love. And in God's love is where we find hope. And it's in times like this where we lean on our faith in God's love and in knowing that if we do our best to fulfill his will, then things will work out as he has planned.
Glenn Beck
Amen. Amen. Thank you, Tulsi. God bless.
Unknown Speaker
Thank you. You too.
Glenn Beck
Tulsi Gabbard. I really like her.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I do too. I do too. I mean, I don't agree with her on everything, but.
Glenn Beck
Neither do I. But I like the fact that you don't have to. You know what I mean?
Stu Burguiere
Your comment there at the end, I think was, was how I would describe it too, is like she just seems to take this seriously, care about the country rather than herself. And I don't, you know, that even.
Glenn Beck
When takes her oath seriously, seriously, you know, she, you know, she's willing. I mean, she could have gotten out of her service, you know, easily, you know, and, you know, done other things. And she continues to serve and she serves honorably and she is a fighter, but doesn't believe in war except when it's absolutely necessary. I mean, I, I really respect her. Really respect her. There's not a lot of politicians like her. I wouldn't even put her in a. Would you put her in the category of a. I mean, she is a congresswoman, right? I know, but she just doesn't seem like it. You know, she is as far away from a Nancy Pelosi kind of politician as you can get.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, yeah. Would you.
Glenn Beck
Who do you.
Stu Burguiere
Who Would you take more seriously, would it be like her or Eric Swalwell? If you had to come down to one? It's a tough one.
Glenn Beck
It's a tough one. It is a tough one. By the way, Trump was talking about Nancy Pelosi and insider trading yesterday. Can you play cut 19, please? Here's Trump on Nancy Pelosi.
Unknown Speaker
Senator Hawley introduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from owning or trading individual stocks. It extends to the president and vice president. Are you in favor of that legislation?
Well, I like it conceptually. I don't know about it, but I like it conceptually. And you know, Nancy Pelosi became rich by having inside information. She made a fortune with her husband. And I think that's disgraceful. So in that sense, I'd like it, but I'd have to really see the. I'd have, you know, I studied these things very carefully and this just happened. So I'll take a look at it. But conceptually I like it. And what I do think is Nancy Pelosi should be investigated because what she has the highest return of anybody practically in the history of Wall Street. Save a few. And how did that happen? It happened by. She knows exactly what's going to happen, what's going to be announced. She buys stock and then the stock goes up after the announcement's made and she ought to be investigated.
Glenn Beck
Now, Jake Tapper was talking to Nancy Pelosi yesterday, and here's what happened. Having some sort of. Yeah, let me just read what he said. I'm sorry that we had some sort of technical issue. Nanc Pelosi became rich.
Nancy Pelosi
Why do you have to read that? We're here to talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. That's what I agreed to come to talk.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, but I want.
Nancy Pelosi
That means in the election.
Stu Burguiere
I wanted to give you a chance just to respond.
Glenn Beck
He accused you of insider trading.
Stu Burguiere
What's your response to that?
Nancy Pelosi
That's ridiculous. In fact, I very much support the stop the trading of members of Congress. Not that I think anybody's doing anything wrong. If they are, they are prosecuted and they go to jail. But because of the confidence it instills in the American people. Don't worry about this. But I have no concern about the obvious. Investments had been made over time. I'm not into it. My husband is. But it isn't anything to do with anything insider. But the president has his own exposure. So he's always projecting. He's always projecting. And let's not give him any more time on that, please, we going forward here. And I'm very proud of my family. And while he might make fun of us while somebody inspired by him breaks into our home and hits my deadly fashion over the head and he thinks that's a riot. I'd rather not go into some of my other complaints about him right now, rather to talk about the 60th anniversary.
Glenn Beck
I mean, this is. This is amazing. Just as amazing. And, Nancy, you should not use the word riot in any way. You should not use the word riot. Like, her husband is the greatest trader in the history of Wall Street.
Stu Burguiere
Seriously impressive. I mean, just an amazing investor. Almost seems almost clairvoyant in a way. There's a bunch of accounts that follow her trades. There's one. I can't remember who it is, but they do an actual index. Like, they'll tell you who they trade. You can go and buy and, like, replicate her trades, and you're, you know, way, way, way ahead of the s and P500 if you're doing that. There's this one example, though, that from a few months ago, she bought some options on one AI company and was up 330% in a month.
Glenn Beck
Wow.
Stu Burguiere
Now, that's impressive. That's impressive. But over and over again, she continues to just call these things, man. She is just.
Glenn Beck
No, no, no. Her husband does. She's.
Stu Burguiere
She's not even into it.
Glenn Beck
She's not even in.
Stu Burguiere
She's not even into it.
Glenn Beck
She's not even into it. She doesn't talk about it. She doesn't even know about it. She doesn't share anything with her husband. He is just. He's a miracle. He's a miracle investor. So, you know, you got that going for you.
Stu Burguiere
It is ridiculous. And it's been basically legal for these people to do this.
Glenn Beck
I don't know why she's denying anything. There's nothing illegal about it. That's the whole point of the bill. To make it illegal.
Stu Burguiere
Right?
Glenn Beck
To make it illegal. And to say, you know, he projects. Oh, my gosh, I can't even take it. Really. The debt that the Republicans project, what they're doing. Huh? That's.
Stu Burguiere
In a way, that's her projecting. Her, say, her accusing. The other side of projecting is her projecting.
Glenn Beck
Kind of. Kind of. Okay, back in just a minute with more. Let me tell you about American Financing. Ever notice how nobody brags about their mortgage? Biggest financial decision people ever make, and yet it's treated like an afterthought. Why? Well, because most mortgages aren't worth bragging about. But what if your mortgage was a flex? What if you could say, yeah, I locked in a lower rate, I paid off my high interest debt and I saved hundreds of bucks a month all thanks to a simple call? That would be pretty good. That's what American Financing does. They're independent, not tied to a single bank. Which means they work for you right now. When everything is expensive, groceries, gas, insurance, you name it. Saving anything every month can be a game changer. And imagine if we had a non corrupt Federal Reserve what those rates might be like. Anyway, American Financing can help you get a custom loan, a cash out refi, even a debt consolidation mortgage. And you can close in as little as 10 days. So maybe it's time to make your mortgage worth bragging about. The smart move is to find what's possible. You do have options. You just need the right team to show them to you. And that team is American Financing. Call American financing now at 800-906-24440american financing.net 800-906-2440american financing.net NMLS 182334 nmlsconsumeraccess.org APR for.

Glenn Beck
So Sydney Sweeney, American Eagle, you know, made. Made an ad, got a lot of attention, I guess. Now Dunkin Donuts is now into the genetics line in their new ad as well. Here's Dunkin Donuts.
Stu Burguiere
Look, I didn't ask to be the king of summer. It just kind of happened.
Glenn Beck
This tan genetics.
Stu Burguiere
I just got my color analysis back. Guess what?
Glenn Beck
Golden Summer, literally.
Stu Burguiere
I can't help it. Every time I drink a Duncan Golden Hour refresher, it's like the sun just finds me. So if sipping these refreshers makes me the king of summer, guilty as charged.
Glenn Beck
I don't. I'm not interested. Where's this? Where's this? Sydney Sweeney? That was a much better ad.
Stu Burguiere
In theory. It's almost the exact same ad, except just a dude mass.
Glenn Beck
Really not? No, no, it's really not.
Stu Burguiere
I just have weird. It is a weird ad. I don't know. What are we supposed to take?
Glenn Beck
Is that supposed to be. I mean, is that. That. I guess it's a just ripoff of her trying to.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, is it like a parody type of thing? Or is it just. They just have not.
Glenn Beck
It's just a really. I mean, is it a coincidence that they both are exactly this. I mean, almost exactly the same, and they. They talk about genes?
Stu Burguiere
I don't know. That's a good question.
Glenn Beck
Why would they.
Stu Burguiere
You think that they would. I mean, it's not an obvious parody. So it would be an odd choice to just like, to make it.
Glenn Beck
Maybe it's Dunkin Donuts. So Dunkin Donuts couldn't afford a really big, big idea ad man. Their ad man's like, I don't know. Here's an idea. We talk about jeans.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, their ad campaign for about 20 years was a guy saying, time to make the donuts.
Glenn Beck
It's probably that guy coming up with the ad.
Stu Burguiere
They're like, hey, what if we do an ad campaign where we show our employees are miserable? What about that? What if we show our employees are abused and they don't get any sleep and we force them in at all hours to make donuts for people who show up.
Glenn Beck
See, that's weird. You see this as you saw that as an employee. I always saw that as the owner of Dunkin Donuts. And maybe it's because I grew up at a bakery because that was my dad. Every day he'd be like, I gotta go make donuts. They never sleep. They never sleep. No.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, but you know, it's, that's the right thing, you know, when it comes to capitalism and donuts, thank God, serve us donuts. That's the most important thing.
Glenn Beck
I don't care if you sleep or not. Individuals are the damn donuts.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, exactly.
Glenn Beck
Are they fresh and hot Now Sydney Sweeney is. What is that? I don't even understand that.
Stu Burguiere
And so is that gentleman with the golden hour refresher.
Glenn Beck
He is. All right, back with a real hour of information and stuff you can use next. This is Glenn Beck. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment.
Unknown Speaker
Of $45 for three month plan equivalent to $15 per month required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of network's busy taxes and fees extra. See mintmobile.com.

Face the dog and embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program coming up in 60 seconds. Mark Levin on power standby. First, let me tell you about rough green. Sometimes you don't notice it happening. Your dog doesn't jump on the couch quite as fast. He doesn't come running quite as hard when you grab the leash. Maybe assume it's just age. Sometimes it is, but other times it's a sign that your dog's missing something. Most dog food is heavily processed. It's cooked at very high temperatures and that destroys all of the good nutrients your dog needs. Then it's sealed in a bag and, and it's designed for sitting on a shelf for two years. That's not real life. And over time, it starts to show in your dog. That's why there's rough greens, not a dog food. It's a supplement that goes on the dog's food, packed with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, enzymes, antioxidants, all the good stuff your dog needs but isn't getting from kibble alone. And when you start sprinkling rough greens on their meals, you may notice your dog perk up a bit. You get more active sleep, better digest food, better feed, better. Get a free Jump Start trial bag for your dog today. It's a 20 value, but you can get it for free. Just cover the shipping. Go to ruffgreens.com or call them at 214ROUGHDOG 214RUFF DOG 214ROUGHDOG rough greens.com make sure you use the promo code back. Mr. Mark Levin, how are you, sir?
Tulsi Gabbard
How are you, brother? I'm good, thank you.
Glenn Beck
Good. Congratulations on the new book on power.
Tulsi Gabbard
Thank you. I appreciate it was either that or on drugs, so. Right on power. No, I don't do drugs. Just kidding.
Glenn Beck
No, I know you don't do drugs, but I have seriously considered going back on drugs with everything that's happening in the world.
Tulsi Gabbard
Quite honestly, I get it.
Glenn Beck
You know, there's, it's weird, Mark, because we're in, it's like the best of times, the worst of times. Some of the stuff that is happening in the country with Trump is, is stunning. Never thought it would happen in my lifetime. And then other things that are happening, I'm like, I give up. I just give up. You feel that way.
Tulsi Gabbard
Glenn, I'm going to tell you something. I'm sitting here, I just wrote a one sentence that I'm going to post because I've been thinking about this in a post and shockingly, Jews are safe in only about a dozen countries in 2025. That's it. Maybe not even a dozen, maybe a half a dozen. The United States and Israel, of course, but Argentina and Hungary and a few others. But if you look what's happening in Western Europe today, this is why I've said this. October 7th slaughter in Israel. Isn't it funny? None of those videos are shown on cable or network tv. They're so horrific. We watch the Holocaust, black and white films, right? And we see the, the mass graves and we see all the horrors. And yet this was so horrible because the Hamas, Palestinians, what they did in open and they were so proud of what they were doing to other human beings. They, the videotaped it. The Nazis tried to cover up what they did. These people videotaped it. And you won't see it on TV and you won't see it on radio. Excuse me, and you won't see it on networks. And I think this is a big problem.
Glenn Beck
I do, too. You know, I tried to convince it. I'm sure you did, too. I tried to convince the Israelis release this because I saw it in a closed session, you know, because it's so disturbing. And they're like, no, no, no, we don't want to. And I think they should at least.
Tulsi Gabbard
Don't want them to. The families don't want them to. But. But I've gone to, I won't mention different networks. And I said, it's on the Internet. You don't need the Israelis permission. Just run it. They said, we can't. It's so horrendous. I said, that's the point.
Glenn Beck
Exactly right. They won't. They won't. You know, when I was at, when I was at CNN and Fox, they both had a deal. I don't know if they still do. But you could not play the World Trade center footage without special permission. That came from the top. Both networks. You could, you could play it on September 11, but other than that, you needed special permission and you needed a reason to show it. It was under lock and key. They did not want to show that. I found that fascinating.
Tulsi Gabbard
I did show it last month, so I guess I got special permission.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, well, it may have changed. I mean, it may have changed been 10 years. So. So talk, talk to me about On Power. Why did you write this?
Tulsi Gabbard
I'll tell you what. I was in bed like two and a half months from this injury I had on my leg, staring at the ceiling. And, you know, I'm kind of a nerd. So I was thinking about history and revolution and stuff. And I got to think, you know, we're discussing this stuff, despite all your books and mine and all our talk about these things, which are very important. I'm not dismissing it. I'm saying I got to thinking, really, what was the revolutionary war about? It was about power. Which kind of government we're going to have, whether we're going to have representative government, taxation without representation. In fact, what is the battle today about with the Marxists and the Islamists versus we, the Americans? It's about power. So we talk about individuality. We talk about we as the sovereign. And I feel if we get this straight and we start to talk about it, more ideas do matter. Ideas run the world. We can push this agenda with a lot of people. So my listeners, your listeners, our audiences, explain how America was founded. America was founded completely differently than any country on the face of The Earth. That's why we're a great nation.
Glenn Beck
And why talk about negative power and positive power? What's the difference?
Tulsi Gabbard
Right? So I break it down into negative power and other. And positive power. Look, positive power. If you look at the Declaration and actually understand it as you do, as most of our audience does, you understand positive power is the belief in the Judeo Christian value system fused with the Enlightenment. That's your Declaration of Independence. How do we know? Because Jefferson told us, others told us so. God's sovereign on earth, his children, we are the sovereign. Eternal rights, natural law. God is mentioned in different ways four times in the Declaration. Now, you don't have to believe in God, you know, to believe in anything. But this is how our country was formed. And a good damn thing it was, because that's why it's such a fantastic country that doesn't believe in all this centralized power in the hand of a few demigods. And so when it's fused with the Enlightenment, where Montesquieu and others talked about power, checking power, that's key. When you listen to the. Bernie Sanders, when you listen to the. What I call the American Marxists, they're about the accumulation of power. You talked about Dershowitz. I haven't read his book. I don't know what it's about. It's good, but it's power. It's power used by central government. That's what Marxism about fascism is about. Talk about Islamism. Islamism is about centralization of power. It's about killing other Muslims who don't agree with the seventh century barbarians, who've never gone through the Reformation, who reject the Enlightenment and who view anybody that's in their way must be destroyed. But as for the means, the Marxists and the Islamists, their goal right now is to overthrow the West. And we see it in our country. And look, they've basically succeeded in Europe. Europe is now basically an Islamist front. And that's why, for instance, they're all getting together now. We need to have a Palestinian state. What the hell does that mean? What does it mean? Who's going to run this state? Where's their Mahatma Gandhi? Who's their Martin Luther King? I keep saying, I want to interview this great peacemaker. Who is it and what are their boundaries? I explain over and over again. Jews today are safe in a handful of countries, and that's it. And it's pretty frightening because the people who hate the Jews hate the evangelical Christians. My closest friends are evangelical Christians. One of the groups I work with Christians United for Israel. They are stunned at the attacks that they are taking as an organization, as evangelical Christians. How many Christians are left in the Middle East? Almost none. Almost none. You have Coptic Christians in Egypt. They're under constant attack. Nobody ever talks about them. Christians being slaughtered in Africa, in Nigeria, in the Congo, in the Sudan. How come nobody's holding any meetings about that? Nobody. China's wiping out the Christians as well as the Uyghurs and the Tibetans. Nobody's talking about that. And in the west, if you want to stand up for Christianity and your faith against Islamism and the Palestinians, you're going to jail. So these faiths which undergird our society, the freest society, the greatest society ever formed by mankind, they're under attack, as is the Enlightenment and the belief system and limited government. That's the book.
Glenn Beck
Are you. Can you explain how we have gone so rapidly down this dark path of Marxism and hand in hand with real anti Semitism? I mean, you know, it's one thing to be and say I don't want to fight and I don't want to be involved in anybody's war and I want to hold everybody responsible. But I don't hear the same people coming after Israel, coming after Russia and saying where's the aid for the people in Russia, for the people in Ukraine. It's striking to me and it's something I talked about. The ADL said about me 10, 15 years ago that I was an anti Semite for saying that this kind of stuff was coming because it always comes with Marxism. But even I'm stunned at how deep it is running now in our country.
Tulsi Gabbard
It's deep because it's revolution by immigration, including in parts of our country. The Islamic scholars 40, 50 years ago talked about the need for Islamists to conquer the world through immigration because the west is weak. And you see what's happened to our country took four years. It's happened to France. France has been conquered. You know, the head rabbi in France told the Jews to get out that there's no way to survive here. You look at London right now, London is headed by an Islamist. Many of the major cities and medium sized cities in London, even though Muslims are about 15, 20% now the population, which is astounding when you think about it. They are the mayors too. And again, I'm not talking about Muslims who've gone through Reformation, the Zooti Jassers and so forth. I am talking about the Islamists. And you know what? It doesn't take a majority of a faith or majority of a people to destroy a country or to destroy a faith. It doesn't. All these revolutions, Mao, Lenin and all, these weren't the majorities overthrowing their society. They were minorities overthrowing their societies. And the fact of the matter is, it's that it's academia. This is where you get Marxism from. These faculty hire the faculty. Marxism was exported to the United States out of Germany. Islamism has been exported to the United States out of the Middle East. These are not homegrown theories. These are very alien. And yet they've taken over our culture. They certainly have. They're not at war with the government per se, they're at war with society. It's worse. They're destroying the civil society. That's what they mean by fundamental transformation. I explain all this in the book. Look, the way they use language, again, I divided into positive and negative power. So I look at the ancients, I get into faith. But I'm not a proselytizer. You know, I'm. I'm not an expert on faith, but I'm an expert on the founding. And faith was very, very important. And again, people don't have to have any faith. But you can thank. Thank the good Lord that we had the founders, that we did, that created the nation that we did. This is all under attack. You'll notice the Bernie Sanders and his ilk, they never talk about the Declaration. They hate it. Woodrow Wilson, as you know, hated it. In fact, Marx mocked it. Individual rights. They reject individuality as selfish. It's impossible to have the commune and so forth. So I go through their techniques, I go through their language, and I make the point. You cannot have freedom without rights. Freedom means nothing without rights. And you don't have rights without power. Rights mean nothing too. One of the greatest constitutions ever written was Stalin's 1936 constitution. Scalia talked about this. Yeah, but you don't have freedom and rights. He had all the power. It was all bs. Same thing with this Mandami about affordability and their language and what they use. Wokeism is a way to control thought and control language. The attacks on the nuclear family, Marx writes about that in the Communist Manifesto. All status quo, all social arrangements must be destroyed. There must be a blank slate. So the Marxists can step in or the Islamists can step in. I know people will say, well, Islam and Marxism, you know, Marxism says no, God. And Islam, they say God. That's not the point. The point is Islam is about conformity and control and manipulation. The radical Islam, just like the Marxists, they get along great hand in glove.
Glenn Beck
And until one of them is. Is fighting just the other one. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know, I just spoke to Alan Dershowitz about his book called the Preventive State. And I don't agree with Alan Dershowitz on a lot of things, but his theory on this I think is right. He doesn't make any conclusions. And it doesn't say which is the right way to go. He just says, this is what's coming our way. We are going to become more and more of a larger state saying, oh, we've got to protect, we have to protect. We have to prevent this, we have to prevent that. And he's just asking, is this what you want? Is this, you know, we should be asking these things now? And I think your book is the, the answer to his. He's saying, here's what's coming our way. Is that what you want? And your book is saying, here's what you actually want and why.
Tulsi Gabbard
And, and that's right. And what I do with this word power. I mean, think about this word power. It's really, it's an all powerful word. What does it mean? And this is the struggle of humanity. Who controls. I don't get into psychology and families and social arrangements. And I mean, think about it in the workplace, think about it at home. Think about it among. Whatever you do. It's always at play. And the same applies to when you're talking about government. What's government? Government is an entity in which people manage themselves. And so who gets to manage us? Do we get to manage ourselves? And what I'm saying, and I don't know what Alan has written, but what I'm saying is we're in a very bad trajectory. We are a little respite right now with a very historic and iconic president, but he's not going to be president forever. And I don't know that the Republicans comprehend what you and I are talking about either. I don't know.
Glenn Beck
They don't. They don't. Not at all.
Tulsi Gabbard
The Democrats come in, they make permanent changes. Permanent changes.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Yeah. Mark, thank you so much. I know we got to cut you loose, but thank you for spending time with us today and good luck with the book.
Tulsi Gabbard
You know, you and I got to talk more often. I love talking to you.
Glenn Beck
I know. I love talking to you, too. You know what? I'm moving to Florida. We're going to be neighbors.
Tulsi Gabbard
Where? Well, I better not say, but will you shoot me an email?
Glenn Beck
I will. I certainly will. I'd Love to see you. Love to see you.
Tulsi Gabbard
All right, brother.
Glenn Beck

You know, in the special that I did last night, the Wednesday night special, it was all about, I just looked up and look who's on TV on msnbc. Clapper. I can't believe these guys are still interviewing these criminals and still believing them. Anyway, I did this show on TV last night about the, the cabal. I mean, we are seeing in real time, literally seeing right now. And you can point your finger to it and prove it. That that chalkboard I gave so many years ago that, you know, I was like, I will put it on my tombstone if I have to. And everybody was pushing back. And I said, communists, Islamists, socialists and anarchists will work together to destabilize the world, the Middle east and Europe. And then it'll spread over here and destabilize America and destroy the Western world. That is exactly what is happening. And it seems as though the entire west is asleep. It seems as though the entire west really. Just how many people do you talk to that are not, who are not firmly in your boat, you know, What I mean, actually talk about that stuff, or when you do talk it to them, they just shrug it off, roll their eyes. They don't really know anything about it. And you're like, are you not seeing what's happening? Have you not noticed the slow boil that we're now experiencing? It's time to jump out, Mr. Frog. It's time to jump out.
Stu Burguiere
This is legitimately, like, what it's like to go to a barbecue with Glenn Beck. Like, that's the conversation you have with him. You're like, hey, there's a reason I.
Glenn Beck
Don'T have a lot of friends. Yes.
Stu Burguiere
Great to see me in the middle of this world.
Glenn Beck
We're boiling.
Stu Burguiere
Jump out, Frog. Can you pass the potato salad? That's essentially the life.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.
Stu Burguiere
It is. It's tough because we just talked about. About this, I think, yesterday, and saying that, like, a lot of it feels like you can't do anything about it. I feel like there's more and more of my friends that I'm talking about that are tuning out from the second to second, moment to moment.
Glenn Beck
And you know what? There's. I get that. I really do get that. You know, that's what I. We just had Tulsi on about an hour ago, and I said to her, you know, it was great to have all this stuff, but I don't believe in this stuff anymore. I don't believe in justice. I. When somebody is brought up in. Stands in front of a judge and you make an actual case, whether they're. Whether they're proven or found guilty or not, I just want to see people stand and be held accountable. And when I see that, maybe I'll have some faith in the system again, but right now, I don't have any faith. And so it's. It's like, I gotta. You have to pay attention to what's going on, but it's really hard to care. But beyond the corruption stuff, how do you not see society crumbling? Forget about the government, Civil society crumbling. We have to talk about that. The beating in. In Cincinnati. We talked about it earlier this week, but have you seen the latest on what the city councilwoman said and the reaction to that?
Stu Burguiere
No, but. But I'll take the burger, medium rare. Thank you.
Glenn Beck
This is Glenn Beck. There is a difference between getting older and giving up because of it. They're two separate things. They really are. When pain becomes a daily companion, when it's interrupting your sleep, when it's limiting your movement or just chipping away your mood, that's not aging. That's a problem. And thankfully there's a solution worth trying. Relief Factor is a daily supplement designed to target the root causes of pain, inflammation from aging, exercise, everyday living. It's drug free. It's developed by doctors, taken by hundreds of thousands of people every single day, including me. And the part I love. It's not one of those lifetime commitment things. You try it for three weeks, the Quick Start package. If it doesn't work for you, don't keep taking it. It won't work for you. You'll, you'll know within three weeks. And that's another thing I love about Relief Factor is they tell you just you can try it. If you're not moving easier within three weeks, you probably won't, but try it. That's why they give you the three week quick start for 1995. Visit relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief 800, the number four relief relieffactor.com do it now and get your light back.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
Stu Burguiere
Imagine a barbecue conversation with Glenn Beck and Mike Lee. Now there's a barbecue conversation.
Glenn Beck
Mike's actually really funny.
Stu Burguiere
He is very funny.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, he's very funny. Never apparently on the air, but he's with us now. Hello, Mike.
Tulsi Gabbard
Hello.
Mark Levin
Good to be with you as always. And I'm gonna cry really hard to be funny. I'm gonna try not even to be boring a little.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, no, it's, no, it's always, always, it's always great when people are trying to be funny too. It just, it's, it's really good. So, Mike, thanks for being on. I am, I am so upset with the Senate, so upset with these Republicans. How many senators, I mean, how, how many nominations are sitting on the sidelines that for some reason our side doesn't want to confirm for the president?
Mark Levin
Well, the confirmation backlog is at about 150. It was at 144 the other day. We added six just from the, from two of the committees I served on yesterday alone. So we're somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 right now. Now, technically speaking, it's not necessarily Republicans don't want to confirm them, just that the Democrats are slowing down the process. And Republicans as Republican senators, we now have to decide what we're going to do about it. Now, some would say, well, it's August, we got to go Home. Tomorrow is the first day of August. People want to be home for August. I get it. Washington's not fun this time of year. And historically the Senate has recessed at this time of year. But you know, sometimes you got to do the job that you signed up for. And so we can complain all we want about the set. The fact that Senate Democrats have delayed the process, that's kind of become the job of the opposition party these days in the Senate. But once they delay and obstruct, it's on us if we don't clear the deck. And the way we clear the deck, the only way to clear the deck is through the tool that we call exhaustion. You keep them here, you make them vote, including, and especially at times that they find inconvenient or undesirable. This is that time. So we need, we need Republican Senators to start saying en masse. We will say we insist on staying to get these nominees voted on. And if it takes us all months, so be it. It probably won't take that long because people tend to all of a sudden become far more willing to negotiate and compromise when something that they want is on the line, especially when what they want is to get out of Dodge.
Glenn Beck
Before we go back into politics, tell me who is being held up. Tell me the consequence of holding these, these nominees up.
Mark Levin
Well, look, many months ago we got the Cabinet confirmed. And so most of these names are not in super prominent positions that every American is going to be aware of. These are a combination. A small handful of them are judges, although we're really just getting started on the judges. Not many of them are judicial nominees. Most of them are a combination of ambassadors, people representing the United States interests abroad as the President's personal representative and their personal representative of the US Government, their under secretaries, assistant secretaries, division directors within various departments of the US Government. Now let me tell you why that matters. Even though most of these departments aren't that important to most Americans daily lives, at least insofar as they think about them from day to day, what happens is that with these lower level positions is where a lot of the work gets done. And when you don't have a Senate confirmed political appointee put in place by the President, confirmed by the Senate, guess who runs those departments, those divisions, those agencies? It's the deep state bureaucrats, the deep state bureaucratic apparatus, the regulators, the career civil servant workers who basically can't get fired. They lean overwhelmingly left. And that is an understatement if ever there were one. So this is much different than it would be if Democrats were slowed down by Republicans and they couldn't get all of their nominees through because the default is, it's okay, Democrats are still in charge because they run the deep state apparatus. We don't have that luxury. We flip effectively control of the US Government, a huge swath of it, from Republican control, which Americans voted for in November, over to Democrats every day. We refuse work, decline or fail to do the work necessary to confirm these people into their jobs, and it's high time we get it done.
Glenn Beck
Where is Thune on this? He's, from what I've seen, in favor of holding people. Is that true or not?
Mark Levin
Yeah, I'm always cautious about talking for a colleague, especially the Senate Majority Leader, in public. But every conversation I've had with him and every conversation I've had, heard him have in public and in private has been that he's in favor of doing it. Now the concern is, and concern that he and others have expressed is, yeah, but what happens if our people don't show up? Because apparently some Republican senators have gone to him and others saying, I won't be there if you have votes in August. Now, these people aren't.
Glenn Beck
What's wrong with these?
Mark Levin
Well, I don't, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know why they've got plan. Maybe some of them have some dire emergence that they've got to attend to. I really don't know because they haven't identified themselves to me or to the public as far as I'm aware of.
Glenn Beck
But out of 50 people I'd give that excuse to, maybe one of them, I have a dire emergency. Everybody else, yeah, get to work.
Mark Levin
And if you've got a dire emergency, we actually have kind of a protocol for dealing with that sort of thing. Either a dire emergency or you've got something like, I don't know, an immediate family member has died, some immediate family members getting married. You got to be there. The long standing practice in the Senate, when you're in that circumstance, very often you can go and find somebody across the aisle, a member of the other party and say, hey, I'm on a bind. I've really got to be in location X. I'm having a lobotomy tomorrow, or wishful under my son's breasts or whatever it is. Would you be willing to pair your absence with mine? And more often than not, you can find somebody who's willing to do that. So that's my point, is that, you know, other than a few things like that which can be dealt with prepared absence arrangements. Sure, other people may have travel plans, other things they would rather do, international travel or travel around the country, around their state, whatever it is. But those things can change and they can be delayed. And here I think they must be. Because, Glenn, if we leave, if we leave, if we recess, as has long been planned, you know, by tomorrow, if we recess for the entire month of August, we'll come back, these 150 nominees will still be here. And you know what? We're adding to that backlog at a rate of, I don't know, 10 or 15 new nominees per week as more nominees get, get moved out. If we were just to have these, if these were the only people we had to confirm, it would still take us until probably late April of 2026 just to get this current slate confirmed. But by then, Glenn, we'll have another 200 or so that we've got to confirm. That eats into our ability to do everything to confirm others, to confirm judges, of which there will be a lot more in the coming months and even to get our legislative work done. Because then we're stuck on these executive nomination votes. That's why the time how many clear the backlog is now to happen.
Glenn Beck
Now, how many of these are U.S. attorneys?
Mark Levin
There are a number of them who are U.S. attorneys. I wish I had the breakdown of exactly how many fall into which category, but we got a bunch of US Attorneys who were in this group and US Attorneys play a very important role.
Glenn Beck
I have to tell you, Mike, I just had Tulsi on about an hour ago and I said to her, the people in Washington understand the crisis of confidence the American people have in our government and injustice. I mean, I've never felt it like this, Mike. And I don't know if you guys feel it this way as much in Washington, but you need to, your, your, your colleagues need to understand they are at the end here of trust. There's, you know, all this stuff that's coming out. Oh, there's comedy. Committee just found this and hey, there's these new documents out that show this. Everybody's like, uh huh. And so what, what are you gonna do about it? Another hearing until things actually start to move. And the U.S. attorneys are the key to that. If we don't have U.S. attorneys and they haven't been confirmed, you can't get anything done in the justice field.
Mark Levin
Yeah, that's right. And this is happening at exactly the same time when a lot of these interim US Attorneys are timing out. They're allowed to serve in that temporary capacity for a limited period of time and under a stupid law enacted decades ago that I have a bill to repeal, they have, have federal judges in each district who can decide who will replace the interim U.S. attorney at that point. That's a barbaric and unconstitutional practice. If ever there were one judicial personnel naming executive personnel, that's wrong. So we've got to get this done. And I've talked to the President repeatedly about this, including less than 24 hours ago, presidents and Glenn, to agree with me, as indicated by, among other things, the post on social media I made over the weekend saying, get this done. You know, stay in town, get him confirmed, do your job.
Tulsi Gabbard
He needs it.
Mark Levin
The American people expect it. They demand it. They voted for this in November, and it is not appropriate for us to deprive them of that. And make no mistake, Glenn, if we leave and leave this backlog undone, there will be consequences, there will be harm, and that is on us. We can blame Democrats all we want, but when the Democrats delay, as is the prerogative of the opposition party these days, it's just what happens in the Senate. If they delay and we do nothing to make them pony up for it and show up and vote and do the work to eat the consequences of their delay, this is on us. Who are the people, by us, I mean Republican senators, who are the people.
Glenn Beck
That we can nicely call to encourage, that are on our side that might be open to fighting a little harder to get everybody to, to stay? Who. Who should we. You know, I don't, I don't want to call and be negative, because I don't think that works. But, you know, when, when people call and say, hey, you know, I know you're on the right side on this, how can we help you push even harder? Because there's, there's millions of us out here that want this done. How can we help you get it done? Is there anybody, do you think that's effective, or what's the most effective approach?
Mark Levin
I do, and I like the way you approach that. And here's what I would suggest in this Circumstance. We've got 53 Republican senators. If you live in a state where you're represented by a Republican senator, maybe even if you're not, but you think somebody might listen to you, call the office, email the office, probably call the office of those Republican senators and encourage them to do it, stay positive, say, I'd really appreciate it if you, if you stayed and cleared the backlog, we appreciate the other good things that you've done. We appreciate how hard you work and we're confident that you can clear the backlog. We ask that you do. So I think that's very helpful because there's not, not One of those 53 Republican senators who couldn't benefit from that. We all need to hear that across the board.
Glenn Beck
Mike, as always, thanks for everything. Thanks for how hard you're working and standing for the Constitution. Even though you wanted to put a McDonald's and some sort of coal fired, you know, energy plant in right smack on top of our national parks.
Mark Levin
Well, yeah, don't forget about the grilling rig and the nuclear reactor.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that was only in Yellowstone, if I remember exactly. God bless you, Mike. Thank you so much.
Mark Levin
Thank you.
Glenn Beck
Senator Mike Lee. Please, please, please. Tomorrow is the day, so call them today. Mike is exactly right on this. If we don't get this done, you want justice. We cannot get justice without the US Attorneys. We need the US Attorneys to be installed. All they have to do is hold a vote on them. They've got to be installed. Otherwise the president doesn't have anybody to investigate, anybody to, to put the cases together to be able to prosecute them. We, we don't have enough people. Please call your senator. Uh, they go on vacation possibly tomorrow. Tell them to stay. Beg them to stay. Ask them to stay. Be nice about it. Let's try that one, see if that works. When was the last time you took a deliberate look at your finances? Not because of an emergency or a missed payment, but because you're ready to take control of your life. You know, the decisions that you've made before that are been controlling. You're like, okay, all right now I'm just sick of it. I'm not gonna live this way anymore. In today's world, most of us are moving too fast to catch our breath. Mortgage payments run on autopilot, interest rates pile up quietly in the background, and credit cards stay near the limits because prices stop climbing. But you don't need to upend your entire life to start improving it. Sometimes all it takes is one smart, timely decision. Like calling the right team for help. American Financing. They're not a bank. They're a family owned mortgage company that listens first, tailors a plan to fit your real life, and shows you exactly what you can do to lower your payments, reduce your interest, or free up cash when it matters most.

Glenn Beck
This is Glenn Becky back. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad that you're here. Thank you so much for listening today. Some of the things that, that are happening, the, the solid numbers on the economy even, I mean, let me just say this, here's CNN talking about the economic improvement. Remember, this is a Trump administration. Listen to CNN Cut. Six new numbers show a sharp turnaround after a worrisome first quarter. How big of an improvement is this new report for the US Economy?
Stu Burguiere
Well, Wolf, the headline here is a positive one, right? GDP, the broadest measure of the U.S. economy. It did rebound in the second quarter, 3%. That is a solid number and it also beat expectations. This marks a major improvement from the first quarter when we saw a rare contraction.
Glenn Beck
Wow, that's CNN. This is a solid number. 3% GDP growth is really good. I mean, yeah, China at its height I think was at 9%, 8% and that was bogus. You can't trust totally bogus anyway. No, I know, but 3% growth, yeah, solid, solid is a solid number for a quarter. Let's hope that they continue to, to grow. We're absolutely, we're going to know more as we get past some of these tariffs and as they really start to come in.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, tomorrow's the day, right? Yeah, tomorrow's day, the deadline. That's, you know, we think, you know, it does seem like there's rumors of some of them being maybe not going into a longer period of delay, but.
Glenn Beck
We'Ll see what happens tomorrow and then next week.
Stu Burguiere
Yay.
Glenn Beck
Next week is his now 10 day deadline on for Putin and coming to the table.
Stu Burguiere
And I mean guys got a lot going on, man. A lot of this play. I'll say that.
Glenn Beck
You ain't kidding. You ain't kidding. And all of it is such high stakes game.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
I don't know. I mean, I would have a heart attack if I was him. I mean it's just all high stakes all the time. This is Glenn, Becky, Sam.
Tulsi Gabbard
Down the road where shadows hide. Feel the dark on every side. Stand your ground when times get Down. Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire.
Glenn Beck
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. What is happening in Cincinnati is beyond reason. And I know we talked about this earlier this week, but I saw a tweet from Elon Musk in regards to what the police chief of Cincinnati said earlier this week and then responding to something that Victoria Parks from City Council said. And I want to address this, but also give you some perspective on it in 60 seconds. First, where do things go from here for Israel? It's hard to say. The headlines change by the hour. Sometimes there's hope a ceasefire is going to continue and peace is getting closer. And sometimes there's a fresh wave of attacks and pieces never seem further away. But sometimes, sometimes it feels like the whole region is just hanging by a thread. Mostly because you know, it is. But whatever comes next, the one thing that you can count on is that the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews will be there helping. They're not just waiting for peace to arrive. They're already on the ground delivering food to the hungry, evacuating families from danger zones, caring for Israel's most vulnerable citizens. What when others are looking away? That's when the fellowship leans in. And they've been doing this for decades now, helping Holocaust survivors and orphans and refugees, the elderly and entire communities under threat. And their mission doesn't depend on the political climate. It depends on you. Israel may not know what tomorrow holds, but thanks to the Fellowship and your support, they won't be facing it alone. Learn more about IFCJ and their life savings work by going online to IFCJ.org that's IFCJ.org Stu, I know we talked about this earlier, but did you see the full footage of the beat down in Cincinnati?
Stu Burguiere
Well, Glenn, I only saw one side of the story. Yeah, that's what I was told by the police commissioner. Yeah, I know, but, yeah, I saw, saw, you know, these, the clips you're we're showing now here on Blaze TV is what I saw.
Glenn Beck
So I saw, I saw this part. Can we play the audio a bit? Start from the beginning. I saw this part. Now what, what the police commissioner was saying is that, or the police chief is that you just don't know. You don't know what happened prior to. But I want you to listen. Listen, look at this. I mean, just pummeling this guy and I can't tell that stuff. I hate this stuff. And I. You know who I really hate? I. I want to put in jail the guy who is just going, oh, oh, oh. Listen to that. I mean, this guy is clearly, clearly out.
Stu Burguiere
Do you know how old he is?
Glenn Beck
No, I don't look it.
Stu Burguiere
I can't walk.
Glenn Beck
He's just, like, falling over because. And the one guy who's taken all the videos, like, oh, oh, oh. And then if you continue to follow, then once they let him go, then the woman who I think was with him, the one in the dress there, she's like, trying to hold people back. And look what happens to her. Look what they do to her. A woman walks in and these two women and a guy punch her. And look at her. She's just out. Her eyes are open and she's just out.
Tulsi Gabbard
Oh, my.
Glenn Beck
They could have killed her. Oh, my God, look at that. Completely out. And it takes a white woman to come up and cradle her head. Then everybody's like, oh, boy, this could be murder.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, she looks. She looks dead.
Glenn Beck
She looks dead.
Stu Burguiere
Wasn't, obviously.
Glenn Beck
No, she wasn't. She looks dead.
Stu Burguiere
I did see that as a still that was posted, right? To see all the way to that point.
Glenn Beck
See, I didn't see this. I didn't see this point either. So, I mean, it's so bad what they did to him. But then the white woman who was with him, now, what could you possibly do to deserve that?
Stu Burguiere
She did nothing.
Glenn Beck
Nothing. Now nothing. I.
Stu Burguiere
What is even the argument of the police commissioner?
Glenn Beck
The police commissioner said that you don't know the whole truth. Okay, well, what. What is the whole truth? What I want to know because there is plenty of videotape. There's plenty of phones there. Show me what caused it.
Stu Burguiere
There's really.
Glenn Beck
No, it doesn't. It doesn't mean that. That you deserve that. But, you know, maybe you can balance out and go, yeah, this guy was a neo Nazi saying, I'm going to round you all up and I'm going to kill you all, or whatever. And then you can maybe see. Okay, well, I mean, he, you know, he was asking for a punch in the face. Not that, but you could.
Stu Burguiere
You could see that there's no justification for, you know, continuing beating a person who's on the ground, even if you really don't like them. Unless you, you know. You know, I mean, I can't think of anything. Unless it was like you were almost murdered yourself, right?
Glenn Beck
Like, you know what I mean?
Stu Burguiere
Like, or they assaulted your child or. I mean, there are some times assaulting.
Glenn Beck
My child would probably put me into a blind rage.
Stu Burguiere
Into a blind rage. But, like, so maybe there's something like that, that maybe that's what she's referring to, but I still, that doesn't justify that behavior. Still crime.
Glenn Beck
So now the Cincinnati city council member, Victoria park, she said the whites, quote, begged for a beatdown.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, oh, okay, okay.
Glenn Beck
They were begging for a beat down. She said they be. They begged for that beat down. I'm grateful for the whole story. She said she saw some additional footage that puts the crowd in, quote, some context. Okay, does anybody have the footage? You know, I am so sick and tired of these politicians just saying things and then not having to prove anything. You know, it's the Adam Schiffs of the world. Oh, really? You have no, you don't know? I have secret information. Well, tell us what the secret information is, Adam Brennan. The same thing. Well, you don't know what I've seen. Well, well, I, I'm pretty read into thi. This is what the people who were in the room with him. I'm pretty read into top secret. What, What Exactly. You're just going to have to trust me. No, I'm not going to trust you on this. Show me the footage. The police chief and this city council member should be impeached. They should be fight. The city council member has to be impeached. The, the police chief should be fired. You should be fired. Produce the evidence or you're fired. But that's not gonna happen, not in Cincinnati, because this has been going on forever. This kind of, this kind of white hatred is being pushed in Cincinnati and all over the country and it has to stop. It just has to stop. And you know, I, I again, I'm right back where I was yesterday. You know, when you, when you look at these stories and you see these elected officials excusing violence, when truth is twisted into some sort of ideology and justice seems, you know, just as, you know, optional as depending on your skin color or your political views, then what you're witnessing is not a civil society society. It's not, we're not living in a civil society anymore. You can't watch that video and show and tell me we're living in a civil society. Especially when everybody's just going, oh, oh, oh, that's not, that's, that's an, that's. Those are animals. Those are animals. That's not a civil society. I don't know what it is, but it is the, the unraveling of the American society and promise. And here's what I said again. Why pay attention if justice isn't going to be served? Why does it even matter? Why even speak the truth when no one seems to care to even hear it? Why fight the people in charge if. If they're not going to be punished or do anything about it anyway? There's a couple of reasons. One, that's the Bubba effect. When you no longer trust that the government is going to do anything except create more problems, you become vigilantes. That is deadly to the Republic. Reason two, we don't measure justice by how often it wins in the news cycle. We measure it by how faithfully it aligns with eternal truths. You know, if you know anything at all about history, it will tell you over and over again. Injustice. This has its day. And it seems more than a week or a month. It'll have its decades. The Roman Empire literally crucified truth. Soviet Moscow buried it, tortured it, slaughtered it. Mao's China stoned it, burned it. And yet truth still survived it, still being stoned to death and tortured to death and just shot in the back of the head in China. But truth still survives in China. It's just that China's not really ready for it. But somewhere, someone has refused to forget what is true. This is what the founders understood. This is why they said, we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor, not for some immediate reward, but because they knew that justice was not cheap. They believed in a higher law, a law above men. And I got to tell you, it is so hard as a man to say, well, in the end, they will lose. In the end, justice will win. But we're not the first ones to say that. My gosh. Think about. Think about the slaves in the field for 200 years. Think about the Jews as slaves in Egypt. Think about the people who are currently in slavery all around the world. Someday that will. The bad guys will lose and justice will be served.
Tulsi Gabbard
Gosh.
Glenn Beck
Here'S the thing that we can take. We have to. We have to remember what our founders knew and tried to remind us. Truth and justice are not things you inherit. They're not. They're things you have to fight for. Every single generation has to renew this promise. That's why I've been saying this, you know, lately, this week that, you know, it's time for our generation and actually the one right above me to let go. You've had your turn, Nancy Pelosi. When are you ever are going to let go of the power? You have corrupted us for so long. You have served and fattened your own wallets, your own life, your own power for so long. And you've destroyed generations. You have destroyed our economic ability for our children to be free to own a house, to have a job where they can buy things, they can live a decent life, have a vacation from time to time. These are things that every generation has to decide and fight for. So we can't look at a story like this and say there's no justice. I suggest that maybe we start looking at stories like this and we start to say, this is where I draw the line. This is where I draw the line. And even if the world doesn't change, I know where my lines are. I don't tolerate that. I will speak out against it. I will not be silent about it. I draw the line here. I'm not going any farther down this mad show that the world is putting on right now. I'm not going over the cliff with the rest of humanity. This is where the American people that still believe in right and wrong, this is when we stand up and say directly to the liars and the ideologues and the demagogues, you may sit in City hall, you may sit in Washington. You may think you hold the power, but you don't. I know who I answer to. And you do not speak for me. Me. You do not define my morality. You don't own the truth. You don't even recognize the truth. And you know what? At times it'll cost us. The longer we wait to draw this line, the higher the cost will be. Speaking up always cost you something, you know that? How many times have you bit your tongue in your relationship? How many times have you. You bit your tongue at work. You know something's not right, but you bite your tongue. Stop it. Don't. Yes, it's going to cost you, but it's not worth speaking up. All the times I don't say to my wife, yeah, you know, that dress doesn't make you look fat. It's the fat that makes you look fat. Now, she says that to me, but I wouldn't say that to her. Okay? You don't always say things, but when it matters, and you know what? You might lose friends. You might be labeled, you might be mocked. But remember this truth always costs more in the beginning than in the end. And the silence is what makes tyranny cheap. I have this week been expressing to you that I. There's things I don't believe in anymore, and I'm. I'm trying to hold on. And I do. I shouldn't say I don't know how to express this yet. It's. I Do believe in American justice. I just don't think it exists right now. But I believe it will return. And it may not be in my lifetime, but somewhere somebody will remember it it. And they will not. They'll say, we draw the line. I'm not tolerating this anymore. And they will live their own life based on eternal principles. Hopefully more of us begin to do that in our own life. And that's when things change. But if you really want hope, real, tangible hope, don't look for it in Washington. Don't look for it in the press. Don't look for it in the halls of power. Don't look for it it, you know, in city Hall. Don't wait for it to come from Hollywood or some billionaire's social media feed. Hope is built in the hearts of men and women who refuse to bow to lies. Hope is built when a father teaches his son that no one, no matter their color, no one is above the law. Hope is built when a mom refuses to let her daughter believe that violence is ever justice. Hope is built every time someone speaks the truth in the face of chaos. The world has gone mad before, but madness is not eternal. Only truth is. And the truth is, justice is not dead. It is just waiting. It's patiently waiting. Waiting for people of courage, waiting for people who will remember. It is just waiting for us. There are certain things in life that we shouldn't take for granted. Like tucking your loved ones into bed and knowing they're safe. Because safety comes at a price, right? A husband who never made it back from deployment, A wife who was lost in a line of duty. A first responder who raced into a building while others were running out. We all say the words never forget. And most times we do. We say their sacrifice matters, but are we doing anything about it? Well, a lot of people in this audience, and most likely you are, thanks to Tunnel to Towers. That promise isn't just something we say. It's something we actually do. You know, when a hero falls in the line of duty, Tunnel to Tower steps in to pay off their mortgage in the family home because they believe that the family has given enough. You know, for the veteran who returns home catastrophically wounded. Men and women who gave everything but their last breath. Tunnel the Towers says, you know, they've given enough. Builds them smart homes, especially adapted to meet their needs and restore the sense of freedom and dignity to their lives. So when they say never forget, they mean it. Never forget the sacrifices of our country's greatest heroes and do something about it. Donate $11 a month to tunnel the towers. Will you@t2t.org t the number2t.org 10 seconds. Station ID. Well, hello to Stu Brigir. Hello, Stu.
Stu Burguiere
And sound that excited about that?
Glenn Beck
No, I'm really.
Stu Burguiere
Seemed a little underwhelmed.
Glenn Beck
I'm really not. Did you see the. You ready for this? Did you see that? There was an orange shape spotted on the surveillance footage near Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell on the final night of his life.
Stu Burguiere
An orange shape?
Glenn Beck
There was an orange shape.
Stu Burguiere
What shape was it? I mean, I need to know.
Glenn Beck
Well, it's a shadowy object and it's seen at the video that was reviewed by CBS News. And it moves up the stairs to Epstein's cell block around 10:40pm CBS News is reporting this. CBS News. Right here. Right here. Slow down. There's the orange shape right there. Stu, you see that?
Stu Burguiere
I do see that.
Glenn Beck
Look at that. Yeah, the orange shape.
Tulsi Gabbard
Shape.
Glenn Beck
Don't know what it is. Now, this is the. Let me see. This is the final night of his life, okay? And they're questioning, is there an explanation for this orange shape? And I'm just hoping we get to rope UFOs into the Ebstein.
Stu Burguiere
Why not? At this point, I think we.
Glenn Beck
If we could just go for it. One grand universal conspiracy theory, it would be so great.
Stu Burguiere
And then they'll come out and be like, oh, come on. That was old news. We've known about this forever. It was in the video we released.
Glenn Beck
Aliens. Come on. Come on. This is Glenn Beck. Your kitchen, where, you know, you made breakfast for your kids every single morning. Morning. There's a married couple walking through it right now, pointing at the island in the middle, talking about whether it's just too big or just right. Your living room. Are you. You know, you and your wife curled up on that old couch at the end of so many long days, watch movies together. Well, it's central headquarters now. You know, look, that's the nature of selling a house. And it's. It's so hard. Last night, we were packing up the house, and I picked up a.
Tulsi Gabbard
Little.
Glenn Beck
Pitcher that we had, and it's like, no big deal. And we were going to give it away, and I picked it up, and all of a sudden I just burst into tears. And I was like. My wife's like, are you okay? And I'm like, I remember the kids. You made spaghetti sauce every Sunday. And you put the spaghetti sauce in this pitcher. And I'm like, we're not getting rid of this pitcher. Because I think of the kids Every time. It is so hard to move. And when you do, you need. You need a real estate agent that you can really trust to get the job done right.

Glenn Beck
All right, so, Stu, let's play a game. Okay.
Stu Burguiere
Yes, I like games.
Glenn Beck
Which is Kamala Harris, and which one did I make up? Okay.
Stu Burguiere
Okay.
Glenn Beck
Two quotes. One of them, Kamala Harris said. And the other one I made up.
Stu Burguiere
Okay, this is gonna be. This could be tough.
Glenn Beck
She spoke about her. Her candidacy as the gubernatorial candidate in California.
Stu Burguiere
Yes.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Stu Burguiere
She's not gonna run. No, no.
Glenn Beck
Okay. So did she say, upon some deep reflection, for now, my leadership and public service will not be in elected office? Over the past few months, I've spent time reflecting on this moment in our nation's history. And the best way for me to continue fighting for the American people and advancing the values and ideals I hold dear is that Kamala Harris.
Stu Burguiere
Okay, that's option one.
Glenn Beck
Option two. So here's the thing. When we talk about leadership and being a leader who leads, we must understand that leadership is not always about the office you're elected to, but sometimes about the space that is not elected yet, still leadership. And at this moment, which is a moment that comes after many other moments, I've been reflecting deeply, intentionally, profoundly on what it means to reflect as one does during reflection. And through that reflecting, I've come to understand that while I may not currently be in elected office, I'm still very much in a place of public service, which is service to the public for the people who are the American people, which is who we are. So I'll continue to do the work because the work must be done. And that work is working for the ideals and values that are ideal and have value. And those are the things that I hold and that I hold dear. Because if we don't hold them dear, how can we say they are dear to be held? I know. It's a tough. It's tough.
Stu Burguiere
It's a trick question.
Glenn Beck
It's a trick question.
Stu Burguiere
Neither of them are her. They're both too smart.
Glenn Beck
Exactly right. One is obviously me, and the other one is a press agent. Because there is absolutely no way she said the first one. No way.
Stu Burguiere
No, because she didn't repeat herself. No, she did she once in there, though. I thought when you were reading it, I was like, gosh, I don't know. That. That one.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. After some deep reflection, yes, for now, my leadership of public service will not be in elected office for out of the six months I've spent time reflecting right in this moment.
Stu Burguiere
So I was at that one. I was like, okay, that sounds. Could be. The second one was a little long.
Glenn Beck
But could have been. She would have said that if she would have said it on stage. That's exactly what she would.
Stu Burguiere
If it wasn't a canned press statement. If she was. If someone just randomly walked up to her and asked her, that's about what.
Glenn Beck
She'D come up with. Exactly what she would have come up with.
Stu Burguiere
I like it.
Glenn Beck
Gosh darn it. California. Look at the good news. I mean, it couldn't get worse. I don't know about.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, would you rather have. Would you rather have your governor be Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom? That's a. That's a Legitimately another. That's another game.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris is your governor. Has to be one of them. Who would you choose? That is really hard.
Glenn Beck
This is like.
Stu Burguiere
Wow, that's really hard.
Glenn Beck
Suicide by being shot or suicide by electrocuting yourself? Yes, it does something like that.
Stu Burguiere
I think I would pick Kamala because I feel like while both are awful and both want terrible policies to be passed and enforced, Gavin feels more competently evil than Kamala.
Glenn Beck
She's more like a clown car.
Stu Burguiere
Yes. Like, it would be a joke, and it wouldn't. Things wouldn't go well.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it wouldn't.
Stu Burguiere
But, you know, not that they're going.
Glenn Beck
Well in California now.
Stu Burguiere
No. Yeah, well, that's. Oh, that's what I mean. I think it would be. He'd be worse. I wouldn't want Patrick Bateman in American Psycho running my state.
Glenn Beck
You think?
Stu Burguiere
Sound great.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Stu Burguiere
Okay.
Glenn Beck
All right.
Stu Burguiere
Can I give you a third game?
Glenn Beck
Okay. Third game.
Stu Burguiere
Third game.
Glenn Beck
Wow.
Stu Burguiere
Are you ready for game number three?
Glenn Beck
Game number three.
Stu Burguiere
Okay. Okay. Name.
Glenn Beck
Name the year. The year of this headline. Of this headline.
Stu Burguiere
Are you ready? How conspiracy theories about Covid's origins are hampering our ability to prevent the next pandemic.
Glenn Beck
Wait, say it again.
Stu Burguiere
How conspiracy theories about Covid's origins are hampering our ability to prevent the next pandemic. I'll give you some options.
Glenn Beck
Options?
Stu Burguiere
2020, 2021.
Glenn Beck
2021.
Stu Burguiere
Probably 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025. Those are your options.
Glenn Beck
The way this game is going, I should say I'd be surprised if it's even been written yet, right?
Stu Burguiere
That is. Yes.
Glenn Beck
But I mean, if you're going to say logically, 2021. 2022. Yes.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. Maybe even 2020.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Right.
Stu Burguiere
Like, okay. Because there, you know.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, you're right.
Stu Burguiere
Conspiracy theories about the very beginning.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And maybe it trickled in 2021. I feel like 2022 would be pushing it.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
2023, we kind of already had passed it. 2024 would be completely insane.
Glenn Beck
We all admitted it. Even. Even the New York Times, everybody admitted. Yep, yep. All intelligence agencies say it came from Wuhan. Yeah. In a lab. The answer is today, Today, Today. What is the story?
Stu Burguiere
It is how conspiracy theories about Covid's origins are hampering our ability to prevent the next pandemic. One of the authors, by the way. Well, a couple of authors of note, I would say one is Christian Andersen, who's in the emails from 2020 talking about.
Glenn Beck
He was a. Wasn't he the guy who was like, hey, I think this has.
Stu Burguiere
He was one of the guys saying like, hey, this, this could be lab leak.
Glenn Beck
Right. And then changed.
Stu Burguiere
Right. Mysteriously. No one really understands it.
Glenn Beck
Cha Ching.
Stu Burguiere
Another guy is Andrew Rambo, who is not like, you know, Sylvester Stallone, Rambo Mbo. He's. He's like a friend. R A M B A U T. Like the Renault Rambo Rumbo.
Glenn Beck
He is like the one. I am up in the woods, living in the cave. I surrender. I surrender. Whatever the town wants to do, I will do.
Stu Burguiere
The worst Rambo sequel ever. A French Rambo. An instantly surrendering Aunt Rambo.
Glenn Beck
Take my guns.
Mark Levin
I hate them.
Glenn Beck
I hate these guys.
Stu Burguiere
The super exciting, like, dramatic scene that they build to is him just putting down all of his weapons.
Glenn Beck
He comes out, he still has the bandana around his head. I surrendered to a mime last week.
Stu Burguiere
Unbelievable. And they're trying to say it's crazy. You're nuts if you believe the lab leak theory. That's today. Today.
Glenn Beck
And you know what? Also today in the New York Times is a op ed from. Is it Brennan and Clapper who were saying this is just the weaponization of government? This is. Look at what they're doing. This is.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, no, they don't like the weaponization.
Glenn Beck
This is just a conspiracy theory. That's all this is.
Stu Burguiere
Are you serious?
Glenn Beck
I'm serious. In today's New York Times. In today's.
Stu Burguiere
Can't take it.
Glenn Beck
Let me give you this. Yesterday, we are living in clown world. Yesterday, Donald Trump was talking about maybe giving a pardon to Diddy because He was charged with the man act.
Stu Burguiere
Was he? Yeah. Was he actually talking about that or was just rumored?
Glenn Beck
Rumored.
Stu Burguiere
It does feel like when you get a Donald Trump pardoning rumor.
Glenn Beck
Yes, A lot of times.
Stu Burguiere
Usually, like, it does feel like a lot of times it happens.
Glenn Beck
So you can't verify that it came from it, but rumor is that he's going to be. Because he was. He was arrested on the man act. Now, if you don't know the man act, if you're my age, you say, I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't think I've ever heard of the man act. Oh, yes, you have. Yes, you have. From a very famous scene from that documentary called Smokey and the Bandit. Listen, who you chasing?
Mark Levin
Somebody chasing you?
Glenn Beck
Nobody's chasing me, boy. I would chase my mania all the way from Texarkana, Texas. Really? Was he a veteran bank robber? Fact, driving is baby alongside of what this dude is doing. Almost killed, funny law officer. Driving through people's backyard, knocking down mailboxes. Got abroad in the car. Took across the state line, got the man out. That's the man. I don't think he's got a permission dance.
Tulsi Gabbard
And that's good.
Glenn Beck
None. How's that for Hydra? Whoa. Oh, let me pay for it. Let me pay. No, no, no, no. You're an officer of the law. I'd be honored. Much obliged. Where's the can? I gotta take the squirt.
Mark Levin
I'll be right back.
Glenn Beck
Here just. Oh. What the. Hey. Hey. What are you doing in my car? You're calling the wrong way.
Tulsi Gabbard
Oh, hang on.
Glenn Beck
What the are you doing?
Stu Burguiere
Sheriff justice is in there.
Glenn Beck
I know, I know. I love that movie. You seen. You've seen it? A long time ago. Oh, my gosh. It's worth watching with your kids, really. It is one of our favorite movies.
Stu Burguiere
It is smoking a minute.
Glenn Beck
Hysterical. It's just hysteric. Jackie Gleon at his absolute best. I'm gonna barbecue your ass. It is so full of laughs. They just love it. But there's the man act.
Stu Burguiere
So the man act. And the man act was taking someone across state lines, which is always the weirdest thing. They're always. That's the most concerning thing.
Glenn Beck
The law.
Stu Burguiere
The law is like, you can do whatever you want inside a state, but if you take them across state lines.
Glenn Beck
No, that's. No, no, no, no, no.
Stu Burguiere
That's what they always get them on. It's always. It's always like a trafficking charge.
Glenn Beck
Who gets them on?
Stu Burguiere
Is that the feds?
Glenn Beck
The Feds. Otherwise it's state.
Stu Burguiere
It's state.
Glenn Beck
It's, that's how the fed, that's how, you know, remember that's. What was that? Shoot. I can't remember the, the Supreme Court ruling from the 1930s where the guy was growing wheat. Right.
Tulsi Gabbard
Remember?
Glenn Beck
And he's growing wheat. Yeah, Commerce clause. And he's growing wheat in his own, you know, in his own farm. Yes. But it could be taken across state lines and so the federal government has to regulate it.
Stu Burguiere
Wasn't it even more ridiculous, wasn't it? You selling it within your state could manipulate the market in other states. I think it was, yeah. At least that was one of those cases. Gosh, I can't remember. You're right, I can't remember. I'm too tired to remember the name of that case. But that was, I think what it was, was because he wanted to sell it in his own state and he's like, okay, this got nothing to do with interstate commerce. They're like, well, if you sell a bunch of wheat here, could lower the price in another state.
Glenn Beck
That's crazy. It's crazy. All those stuff has to be overturned. If you would just overturn that.
Stu Burguiere
That's a big one.
Glenn Beck
That would be a big one because you would just, you would cut down the power of the federal government so much. So much. And of course, remember, remember, we're all anti government here, you know, that's all we, you know, forget, forget antifa. You know, forget the people who are actually shooting at ice. Nah, it's us. We're the anti government people. All right, back in just a minute. Let me tell you about the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. It is easy to feel overwhelmed these days. Too much news, too much noise. Far too many people in this world who are hurt, hurting. And stories never make it past the headlines. When missiles rain down on Israel, sirens wail in the middle of the night. When families have to choose between staying in a war zone or fleeing with nothing, the world tends to look away. But some people don't look away. They lift others up with food and shelter and security and hope because their faith won't let them do anything else. Is that you? The international fellowship of Christians and Jews is there, right in the middle of it. And they're on the ground in Israel delivering hot meals to the elderly trapped, trapped in war torn neighborhoods. Getting survival packages to families huddled in bomb shelters and bringing Ukrainian Jews home to safety through emergency flights. And they can't keep it going unless you help people like you and I. Ordinary Christians who refuse to be numb, who see the pain and choose to step in, not step back. People who will stand with Israel. Learn more about IFCJ and their life saving work by going online to IFCJ.org that's IFCJ back. We'll be right back. Welcome to the the Glenn Beck Program. So Stu, just looked up, it was Wickard v. Filburn, right?
Stu Burguiere
Yes, that's what we were trying to come up with.
Glenn Beck
And you say it's worse than we thought.
Stu Burguiere
It is worse, yes. Because you had mentioned like, oh, it was about the guy just trying to sell some wheat across state lines.
Glenn Beck
No. Selling it into the state. No, yeah, you're right. Selling your initial, initial across state lines.
Stu Burguiere
And then I said, no, I think it was worse than that. It was actually he just wanted to sell it inside the state. And the argument was about, well, if you sell a bunch of wheat inside your state, it could affect the overall national wheat market.
Glenn Beck
See, this is where we are rookies, okay? Because we look at things and we still are looking at it semi rationally. Okay?
Stu Burguiere
Yes.
Glenn Beck
Now you gotta go to the federal government. They're never rational.
Stu Burguiere
No. In fact, the case was actually all about him wanting to grow wheat and consume it himself. So it was wheat he was just growing in his backyard for himself. And they said that could actually manipulate the national wheat market so therefore Congress could control it.
Glenn Beck
Now you might think to yourself, I don't think so. But then you have to think like a government stooge. If everybody did that, well, everybody's not going to grow wheat. I mean, gosh, I don't know how this stuff stands. And I don't, honestly, I don't know why somebody isn't bringing that case. The Supreme Court has been begging for it. While we still have justices on our side, we should get the things like that overturned. We should really work to overturn that. You imagine you get the commerce clause overturned and the difference that it would make. You know, it's, I'm trying to think of, you know, the, what are the worst overreaches of the government. And I, you know, I always come back to again, property tax. I think property tax is the most immoral, un American tax there is. You, you take out a, let's say a 30 year mortgage, okay? Now you're paying it, but you're only really paying the debt down, what the last 10 years they get all of their money first. So you're renting it from the bank. Then when you do pay it off, then you're renting it from the state. Because the state, if you don't pay your taxes, they take your house away. That's insanity. Just insanity. But that's America today. But we can change that. We just. I don't know how. Okay? I don't. I was gonna leave you something profound, but I'm out. I'm out of profound stuff. All week I've been out of profound stuff. So that's as good as it gets, America. All I got. Congratulations. We will see you tomorrow. God bless. This is Glenn, Becky.

Episode Title: EXCLUSIVE: Gabbard Confirms WORST Fears about Deep State
Guests: Sen. Mike Lee & Mark Levin
Release Date: July 31, 2025
The episode kicks off with an engaging and candid discussion led by Glenn Beck, who welcomes listeners to what he describes as a fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. Beck introduces an in-depth conversation with Tulsi Gabbard, followed by insights from Senator Mike Lee and Mark Levin, focusing on pressing issues surrounding the so-called "Deep State," media silence, and threats to American democracy.
[07:17] Glenn Beck: Beck delves into the declassified documents related to Russiagate, emphasizing how these documents confirm long-held suspicions about the manipulation and undermining of President Trump's administration by intelligence officials like John Brennan and James Clapper. He expresses frustration over the mainstream media's silence on these revelations.
Notable Quote:
"The mainstream media is refusing to cover this." — Tulsi Gabbard, [07:54]
Tulsi Gabbard explains that the newly released documents expose how intelligence assessments were weaponized to subvert the American populace, highlighting the complicity of media in perpetuating the "Deep State" narrative.
The discussion highlights the media's role in downplaying the significance of the declassified documents. Gabbard points out that instead of focusing on the evidence, media outlets amplify detractors who dismiss the findings as "bizarre" or "crazy," thereby hindering accountability.
Notable Quote:
"They're not giving voice to these intelligence professionals because it would push forward a very inconvenient truth for the mainstream media." — Tulsi Gabbard, [09:58]
Beck echoes this sentiment, expressing disbelief at the media's continued support for figures like Brennan and Clapper, questioning whether such complicity is part of a larger, orchestrated effort to maintain control over the narrative.
Beck transitions the conversation to the topic of Antifa, questioning why it hasn't been designated as a terrorist organization despite its violent tactics aimed at destabilizing political landscapes.
Notable Quote:
"They're trying to change political leanings, you know, change the country's policies or change politics here through fear and intimidation and violence. That's the definition of terror." — Glenn Beck, [25:15]
Gabbard responds by emphasizing the ideological motivations driving various extremist groups, asserting that both Marxists and Islamists pose direct threats to the American way of life by seeking to overthrow established structures through fear and violence.
Tulsi Gabbard introduces her new book, "On Power," discussing the dichotomy between positive and negative power. She argues that the fusion of Marxist and Islamist ideologies threatens the foundational principles of the United States by promoting centralized control and undermining individual freedoms.
Notable Quote:
"Freedom means nothing without rights. And you don't have rights without power." — Tulsi Gabbard, [53:57]
Gabbard elaborates on how these ideologies seek to manipulate and control societal structures, warning of a future where such forces could lead to the erosion of civil society and the foundational values upon which America was built.
The episode features a segment where Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere discuss allegations of insider trading against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. They parody a fictional scenario where Pelosi denies accusations of profiting from insider information, highlighting concerns over corruption within political leadership.
Notable Quote:
"She made a fortune with her husband. And I think that's disgraceful." — Stu Burguiere, [35:35]
This segment underscores the ongoing skepticism and distrust among the program's audience regarding the ethical conduct of high-ranking officials.
Beck and Gabbard tackle the impact of conspiracy theories surrounding Covid-19's origins on the nation's ability to prevent future pandemics. They discuss how misinformation hampers public health efforts and fosters distrust in governmental institutions.
Notable Quote:
"Today is the day. What is the story?" — Glenn Beck, [113:08]
Gabbard emphasizes the importance of transparent communication and factual reporting to effectively manage and mitigate the effects of pandemics, critiquing the spread of unfounded theories that undermine collective response strategies.
Glenn Beck shares his personal struggles with maintaining faith in the justice system, expressing frustration over perceived injustices and the lack of accountability for wrongdoing. This sentiment is echoed by his guests, who call for renewed efforts to uphold justice and restore public trust.
Notable Quote:
"I don't have any faith." — Glenn Beck, [64:38]
Gabbard and Levin discuss the erosion of justice and the importance of civic engagement in holding institutions accountable, advocating for a return to foundational legal principles to rebuild trust and ensure fairness.
Throughout the episode, Beck and his guests urge listeners to take an active role in political processes, such as contacting their senators to expedite confirmation of nominees. They stress that public pressure and involvement are crucial in combating systemic corruption and ensuring governmental accountability.
Notable Quote:
"If we leave and leave this backlog undone, there will be consequences, there will be harm, and that is on us." — Mark Levin, [78:05]
Levin emphasizes the responsibility of Republican senators to address the confirmation backlog, highlighting the pivotal role of U.S. attorneys in upholding justice and prosecuting wrongdoing.
The episode concludes with a reaffirmation of commitment to exposing and challenging systemic corruption, extremist ideologies, and injustices. Beck underscores the importance of truth, justice, and active civic participation in preserving American democracy and fostering a resilient society.
Notable Quote:
"Hope is built when a father teaches his son that no one, no matter their color, no one is above the law." — Glenn Beck, [96:35]
Beck encourages listeners to draw personal lines against injustice and remain steadfast in their pursuit of truth, emphasizing that collective action and individual integrity are essential in overcoming the challenges facing the nation.
