Introduction

In this episode, Glenn Beck delves into the influential role that media platforms like "The View" played in the election of Donald Trump. Joined by Stu Burgiére, and later by guests Tina Descovich of Moms for Liberty and Peter St Onge from the Heritage Foundation, the discussion centers on Trump's cabinet appointments, economic policies, voter mobilization strategies, and media manipulation.

Trump's Cabinet Appointments and Department of Education

Glenn and Stu debate President Trump's ambitious plans to overhaul the U.S. educational system, including the proposed shutdown of the Department of Education.

• Trump's Plan:
  Donald Trump outlined his intention to close the Department of Education, aiming to transfer control back to the states. He emphasized reducing bureaucracy and eliminating what he perceives as leftist influence within educational institutions.

  Notable Quote:

  "[07:14] Donald Trump: [...] And one other thing I'll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington, D.C. [...]"

• Stu's Skepticism:
  Stu expressed doubts about the practicality of dismantling the department, referencing past administrations like Reagan's unsuccessful attempts.

  Notable Quote:

  "[04:11] Stu Burgiére: Well, I mean, I don't. I'm skeptical whether it will actually occur. [...]"

• Glenn’s Optimism:
  Despite uncertainties, Glenn remains optimistic about Trump's determination to implement these changes within the first 100 days.

  Notable Quote:

  "[11:14] Glenn Beck: [...] I've got 100 days to do it. [...]"

Tariffs vs. Income Tax: Economic Debate

A substantial portion of the episode focuses on Trump's economic strategies, particularly his stance on tariffs and income tax reform.

• Trump's Tariff Strategy:
  Trump advocates for imposing significant tariffs, especially targeting China, with the expectation that the foreign country will absorb most of the cost. This approach aims to protect American industries and reduce dependency on imports.

  Notable Quote:

  "[50:54] Oprah Winfrey: [...]"

• Income Tax Abolition Proposal:
  Trump proposes replacing the income tax with tariffs, potentially increasing the average American's take-home pay from $58,000 to $88,000 by eliminating income taxes and relying on tariffs for government revenue.

  Notable Quote:

  "[53:28] Glenn Beck: [...] how does it work when you don't have taxes? Go ahead."

• Economic Expert Insights (Peter St Onge):
  Peter St Onge explains the financial implications, including a projected $1 trillion budget shortfall. He suggests that aggressive economic growth could partially offset this deficit.

  Notable Quote:

  "[54:42] Stu Burguiere: [...]"

• Concerns and Feasibility:
  There is skepticism about the practicality of eliminating the income tax and the long-term sustainability of tariff-funded governance, especially if domestic manufacturing rebounds and reduces reliance on tariffs.

Moms for Liberty and Election Impact

Tina Descovich, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, discusses her organization's pivotal role in mobilizing new voters and influencing election outcomes.

• Voter Mobilization Strategy:
  Moms for Liberty targeted 200,000 first-time or infrequent voters in key states (Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin), focusing on issues like Title IX and local school policies to galvanize conservative mothers.

  Notable Quote:

  "[111:14] Tina Descovich: [...] we targeted 200,000 moms in each state that aren't really voting. [...]"

• Election Successes:
  The strategy resulted in record voter turnout, particularly in Georgia and North Carolina, significantly contributing to Trump's electoral victory.

  Notable Quote:

  "[112:26] Glenn Beck: [...]"

The View’s Role in Trump’s Election

Glenn and Stu analyze how episodes of "The View" influenced public perception and voter behavior, particularly regarding Kamala Harris and Trump's campaign.

• Media Manipulation:
  They criticize "The View" for avoiding challenging questions to Kamala Harris, which ultimately weakened her candidacy by not holding her accountable on crucial issues.

  Notable Quote:

  "[89:57] Glenn Beck: [...] the View are idiots. [...]"

• Impact on Harris:
  The hosts argue that the inability of "The View" to critically question Harris played a significant role in diminishing her support among voters.

Deficit and Fiscal Policy Discussion

Glenn and Stu engage in a debate on managing the national deficit, advocating for substantial government spending cuts and economic reforms.

• Budget Cuts:
  Suggestions include eliminating or reducing expenditures on defense, welfare, and other federal programs to balance the budget.

  Notable Quote:

  "[65:19] Glenn Beck: [...]"

• Peter St Onge’s Analysis:
  He presents potential savings and revenue strategies, emphasizing the elimination of income tax and the implementation of tariffs as means to address the deficit.

  Notable Quote:

  "[54:42] Stu Burgiere: [...]"

• Challenges:
  The feasibility of such drastic measures is questioned, especially considering the political resistance from entrenched interests and the logistics of implementing large-scale tax and tariff reforms.

Defamation of The View and Presidential Appointments

The discussion shifts to Trump's cabinet picks, specifically Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, and the perceived inconsistency between Rubio's profile and Trump's desired aggressive foreign policy stance.

• Rubio as Secretary of State:
  There's debate over whether Rubio aligns with Trump's hawkish policies or represents a more moderate choice, raising concerns about the State Department's direction under his leadership.

  Notable Quote:

  "[16:01] Stu Burgiére: [...]"

Miscellaneous Topics

Additional segments touch on societal issues, media influence, and financial independence. These sections are interspersed with advertisements but contribute to the overall political narrative of the episode.

Conclusion

The episode concludes with reflections on the election process, the strategic mobilization of conservative movements, and the significant influence of media platforms like "The View" in shaping political outcomes. Tina Descovich and Peter St Onge provide insights into future strategies for maintaining and expanding conservative influence in American politics.

Transcript

[Glenn Beck]

So let me talk to you a little bit about preborn. We learned if we learned anything from this election, we learned how important it is for us to fight, fight, fight. We learned also how desperately the left wants to fight to take babies and kill them. Which is why every day Preborn Ministries fights for those babies and those moms. Preborn's network of clinics is positioned to the highest abortion areas and they are fighting for moms who are deciding between life and death for their unborn children. By introducing a mom to her child on a free ultrasound, they double the chances that the mother is going to choose life. Then they show those babies and their mothers God's love by providing additional assistance for up to two years. So when those on the left shout abortion, we have to shout life. But we have to put it into action. If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way? Your tax deductible donation of 15,000 will place an ultrasound machine in a needy woman's center, saving countless babies for years to come. To donate, hit £250. Say the keyword baby. That's £250 keyword baby. Or you can go to the website. It's preborn.com Glenn. That's preborn.com Glenn. Sponsored by Preborn.

Patriotmobile.com beck or 972patriot well, let's say hello to Stu Beer. Hello, Stu. How are you? Very well, Glenn.

[Stu Burguiere]

Exciting things happening.

[Glenn Beck]

Exciting things. Right?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. I mean, shutting down the Department of Education now.

[Glenn Beck]

You don't believe that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, I mean, I don't. I'm skeptical whether it will actually occur. I am excited about the prospect of a president who actually wants it to happen. I feel like it's been. We haven't heard that really since Reagan. So I'm excited about that. But of course, Reagan famously did not actually achieve.

[Glenn Beck]

Of course, of course. Reagan also said that he was going to make Jerusalem the capital of Israel.

[Stu Burguiere]

Exactly.

[Glenn Beck]

And he didn't do that.

[Stu Burguiere]

I will also say one of the central parts of education policy for Republicans, for as long as I've been aware of politics have been the idea of school choice. And nothing ever happened until the past couple years. Right. Like now we've come further on school choice than at any other point in my lifetime. I'm really excited about that. I think his appointments around this area will be really interesting.

[Glenn Beck]

So here's what he has said. First, let's start with his plan to overhaul leftist colleges.

[Donald Trump]

Cut 5 tuition costs at colleges and universities have been exploding, and I mean absolutely exploding. While academics have been obsessed with indoctrinating America's youth. The time has come to reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical left. And we will do that. Our secret weapon will be the college accreditation system. It's called accreditation for a reason. The accreditors are supposed to ensure that schools are not ripping off students and taxpayers. But they have failed totally. When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxists, maniacs and lunatics. We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again and once and for all. These standards will include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs, incredibly removing all Marxist diversity, equity and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated and low cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning and getting their money's worth. Furthermore, I will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination. And schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowments taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, my.

[Donald Trump]

A portion of the seized funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies, policies that hurt our country so badly. Colleges have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars from hardworking taxpayers. And now we are going to get this anti American insanity out of our institutions once and for all. We are going to have real education in America.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yeah, again, we need some porn music for this stuff. I mean, this is just. Oh, say it again, Donald. That is a very, very clear. I think, yes, the clearest I have. I've heard him. And the most passionate that I have heard him. This. These are not campaign promises. He doesn't need to make these promises anymore. These are. Here's what we're doing right now. Included in that, that whole rant is this. Cut four, please.

[Donald Trump]

And one other thing I'll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of education in Washington, D.C. and sending all education and education work and needs back to the states. We want them to run the education of our children because they'll do a much better job of it. You can't do worse. We spend more money per pupil by three times than any other nation. And yet we're absolutely at the bottom. We're one of the worst. So you can't do worse. We're going to end education coming out of Washington, D.C. we're going to close it up. All those buildings all over the place. And you have people that in many cases hate our children. We're going to send it all back to the States.

[Glenn Beck]

Again. Oh, yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Love that. I think that is really exciting.

[Glenn Beck]

Now, do you think he won't do it or do you think he won't be able to do it?

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, I hope that it would happen, but I mean, if you're focusing on the natural levels of pessimism that I have when it comes to anything going on in Washington, you are a.

[Glenn Beck]

Little black rain cloud.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, I mean, look, I'm trying to be realistic here, you know, I mean, but I think that there is, I think it's interesting because Trump, when he puts his, when he puts his mind to it, he can accomplish anything. But there are certain things that he says that are things I think he likes and wants but aren't central focuses of his life. For example, we know the border is Right. He's got like that. There's no question he's gonna do stuff on the border. Another example I would use would be term limits. He talked often in speeches about term limits in 2016 and 2017.

[Glenn Beck]

I think you. Wait, wait, wait. Hang on just a second. I think to Compare Donald Trump's 2016 version, you're looking at a new 2 point, maybe 2.9 version of Donald Trump. Almost a 3, 0. He's not the same guy.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's true. It's not even a criticism of him. It's just like when you have. You can only focus on so many things. You can only get so many things done, typically. Maybe he's going to come up with a whole new way to do it. Maybe he's putting all these people in that are going to be able to shepherd these things so he doesn't have to focus on them all the time.

[Glenn Beck]

Now that is your bully pulpit.

[Stu Burguiere]

You really can only push for one or two things at a time.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't know. I find these videos that he's putting out to be almost like a fireside chat. And he's putting them out for a reason. Have you ever seen a president do this as President Elect?

[Stu Burguiere]

No. I like it.

[Glenn Beck]

I love this.

[Stu Burguiere]

I like it.

[Glenn Beck]

I love this. And he's putting these out one after another after another because he is preparing the Washington swamp. And America, these are massive changes coming our way and we're going to need your support. And he has told me, I've got to do all of this in 100 days, Glenn. I've got 100 days to do it.

[Stu Burguiere]

He's right on that. That's the way he should be thinking. Yeah, but it's a lot to do.

[Glenn Beck]

It is. But do you remember that first bill that Barack Obama put in that we looked at? It was one of the first healthcare bills or the, it was tarp. And then there was, there was something else. And remember we.

[Stu Burguiere]

Stimulus plan, wasn't it?

[Glenn Beck]

Stimulus plan, $780 billion.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And it was like 2,000 pages. And we went through it. Paper. I printed it and said, somebody, I didn't know how long it was. Would you print this up? Let me read this. And it was sitting on our kitchen table in our studios in New York City, remember? And I, and I looked at that and I went, this is not about stimulus. This is about fundamental transformation. Okay? And they just loaded that bill with everything. The reason why I bring that up is because that showed to me that they did something we never did, and that is plot the Entire course, they knew exactly what they wanted to do. Okay. And they never told us. Donald Trump is the first one that I'm seeing doing this. He didn't even do this in 16. He made promises in 16, and he believes in keeping promises, but he didn't get everything done. He has the Congress and the Senate right now. He can make the right appointments right now. If he fails to make the right appointments, that's going to be a problem. Because if he has any internal fighting they are going to unleash on him.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I think that's true.

[Glenn Beck]

And if he has anybody on his own side fighting against him, which he did have last time.

[Stu Burguiere]

Definitely did.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes. Yeah. He's got. There's a mandate here, and the Republicans should be reminded of that. And he should not put anybody in any position that doesn't understand maga. This is where we're going. This truly is fundamental transformation. This is a reset back to the Constitution in as many ways that I have ever seen. This is as impactful as what FDR did in the opposite direction in 12 years. Hmm.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's interesting because part. And let me. I'm playing devil's advocate here because I'm. I have level of hope. Hope here for what might happen.

[Glenn Beck]

But, like, I want you to know, though, I don't hope. I believe. I know. I believe. I know in talking to him, he's not the same guy.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm not. And that's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying I know. I'm saying it's hard. This is a difficult thing to do. Getting rid of the Department of Education. Like Ronald Reagan really believed that.

[Glenn Beck]

No, I know that he really did.

[Stu Burguiere]

That was not a fake thing. He talked about it for decades.

[Glenn Beck]

I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

Leading up to his presidency, it wasn't even one term off. And he's planning like maybe Donald Trump has done here. I mean, this is what this man was known for for multiple decades, and still it was hard to do.

[Glenn Beck]

Not Department of Education.

[Stu Burguiere]

That was central to his talk to, like, 1960s.

[Glenn Beck]

No, no, no, it wasn't. The Department of Education was started by Jimmy Carter.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. I'm saying, yes, consistent policies on education. You're right. Sorry, I'm not being clear. But regardless of that, I have hope and optimism for what he can do. But, like, when you're talking about this is somebody who's, you know, who's going to do whatever MAGA thing he want. I mean, his appointments so far have been pretty normal.

[Glenn Beck]

It makes me nervous.

[Stu Burguiere]

Pretty like Marco Rubio as Secretary of state is like, I mean, I wanted Richard Grenell. Any Republican president in that field could have listed Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. It's like, I don't even think. I'm not saying it's a bad pick, but, like, it's not particularly consistent with, like, what I hear from the audience at times about, like, how against Ukraine funding. They are.

[Glenn Beck]

How against the. How against Ukraine and the WEF and the United Nations.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, I mean, I want somebody in the UN that wants to shut it down.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, and at least Stefanik is a normie Republican pick.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I don't think that's bad.

[Glenn Beck]

She's. I thought she was solid.

[Stu Burguiere]

Really, really good on a lot of things. I'm not even against either of these picks.

[Glenn Beck]

But, like, Marco Rubio, I'm borderline on. That's. That's a disappointment.

[Stu Burguiere]

Rubio on the show. We like Marco.

[Glenn Beck]

I like Marco Rubio, but, like, I don't want him as a secretary of state under Donald Trump. Where we're doing. I want Richard Grinnell.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I want the guy who will walk in and say, hey, by the way, just got off the phone with the president. We're going to make a deal here, or I'm going back to tell him we don't have a deal. And instead of sending a signed deal to him, we're going to be sending aircraft your way.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know what I mean?

[Glenn Beck]

I want somebody who's going to walk into the EU and say, you are either paying your way. What he said, he means you're either paying your way or we're done. I want that guy. And I'm not sure Marco Rubio is that guy. He could be.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, he could.

[Glenn Beck]

Maybe he could surprise us.

[Stu Burguiere]

And he's. Yeah, he's obviously. I mean, he was under serious consideration for vice president.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

At least by all the reporting. But it's just, it's interesting. And I think, like, part of the things with Trump is this is, I think, consistent with him. And again, I'm not. This is not. I'm not being critical here. I'm just trying to state what I think is actually true.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Which is a lot of what Donald Trump says is a negotiation, and we all know that. Going back to the art of the deal. Right. Like, you know that. And when he says, Kim Jong Un is my best friend, he doesn't mean it.

[Glenn Beck]

Right, Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

He doesn't also mean the next day when he says, we're sending wet, we're gonna go nuke North Korea tomorrow. He doesn't mean either of those things. They're both okay.

[Glenn Beck]

I wanna go through different pieces. I think this is fascinating. I wanna go through the things that he has said, and I want you to point out what you think is a negotiation.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't always know, but I can guess. We know that those two positions can't be true, though. Like, and this is a 2016, 20 or 26 first term reference here, but like, saying you're going to, you know, we're going to, you know, blast North.

[Glenn Beck]

Korea like, you know, you've never seen.

[Stu Burguiere]

And also, like, we're great friends. I love the guy, right? Like, those are.

[Glenn Beck]

I know that those are. Those are two, obviously, but I think there's a difference. The way he deals with dictators.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think that's true.

[Glenn Beck]

He knows because he's a private businessman who has bullied his way in very good negotiating ways. He has. He's used that as a businessman. He knows who these people are, okay? And so he knows these are the things I would hate in business, and I've done them to people who think they're all that, and I always win. I think that's different than what he's doing on, for instance, the Department of ed.

[Stu Burguiere]

But, like, I think it's consistent with what you would do with Marco Rubio or at least Stefanik. You're picking people who are maybe more hawkish than you to send a message of being hawkish, while at the same time maybe trying to implement a more, say, JD Vance ish type forward policy.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't think maybe, maybe it could be. I don't want to. I'm going to give this man the benefit of the doubt because in 16, I didn't. And I was shocked by what he got done and what he meant. And now I really think that he means every word he says on these policies. These are scripted. These are not campaign promises. This is, here's what we're going to do. So I take them literally. Not just seriously, but literally. But I could be wrong. But the only, My only thing on some of his appointments is, what does he know that I don't know about Marco Rubio? What does he know that I don't know? All right, back in just a second. Silver is on the rise. Just since January of 2024, which is when I started talking to you about Lear Capital, the price of Silver has risen 39%. This is an unprecedented rise. Supply is dropping. Demand is soaring. Right now, experts think that it is going to get a whole lot higher in the short Term they think that it could go somewhere between up between 60 and 100%. Kind of like, you know, you should buy Bitcoin, Glenn, when it was 30 cents. Yeah, thanks a lot. Please. There's a ton of industrial demand. Solar energy, electric cars, new battery technology. All of these require huge amounts of silver. And just in case you haven't been paying attention, it isn't just here at home. China is buying massive amounts of it as well. You need to be building a hedge against insanity of a falling US dollar. Unless we turn this, unless we turn this economy and start building things here, we are not going to be able to make the payment on the debt soon. Lear Capital 800 and 957-Gold. 800 957-Gold. They're the only gold company with a 24 hour risk free purchase guarantee. Ask them how you can get up to $15,000 in bonus gold or silver with qualifying purchase. It's Lear Capital 800, 957 Gold. 10 seconds. Station ID. So Marco Rubio though is he's been for the money going to Ukraine, hasn't he?

[Stu Burguiere]

Isn't he certainly much more positive on it than a J.D. vance? He's been pretty, I mean Rubio has been pretty consistently hawkish since the time he's come into the public eye, which is I think pretty consistent with the Republican Party. I think he's been in that general vicinity. But like this and again it's important to note the sort of like anti Ukraine funding element of the Republican Party which is significant, is not universal in the Republican Party to this day. Like that is, it's not like a, I don't know, lower taxes versus higher taxes type of thing. I mean there is a decent amount of disagreement inside the Republican caucus when it comes to that issue. But I think we're, you know, he's been much more on the hawkish side, I think consistent with, I don't know, a pre Trump Republican position on a lot of those issues. Would you agree?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I don't think he's Nikki Haley. I don't think he's Nikki Haley. Yeah, I mean he has warned let's not put all of our eggs into one basket in Ukraine. I think that's true. So we'll see more in a minute. Glenn Beck. All right, let me tell you about rough greens. Most dogs can't vote. I know it's a fact. Even though they're citizens. I mean, you know, born here, my dog can't vote. German shepherd actually, from Germany. So he's like, I can't vote. I don't really care anyway. I think he would have voted for Trump, but, you know, he would have done it, you know, for reasons like they're eating the dogs, you know, but it doesn't matter. Knowing your dog is a Trump supporter, doesn't that kind of make you want to give him the best nutrition so he can lead a healthier and happier life? I mean, let's face it, I love my dog. Even if he would have voted for, you know, Kamala probably would have sold him, but I still love him, you know, I'd miss him. Folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to. Cats all voted for Kamala. I just want you to know, going to Rough Greens, they have a special deal for you right [e-mail] Beck they're gonna get you the first bag free.

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I've already decorated my Christmas tree. Have you really? Yeah. Oh, I'm so. I'm in. I'm in. We spent the weekend decorating Christmas tree. And it was. It was fun. It was fun. And, you know, I just feel like we should just take this time and enjoy this time. Let's just be normal for a while, you know? So feels good. Christmas is Christmas is coming. And so is the latest effort from my daughter. It's Cheyenne Grace. This is her singing I'll be home for Christmas with the Czech, I don't know, Philharmonic or whatever it is, National Orchestra. I have no idea. They're very picky on their name and I don't really care. And they're way over there and I'm over here, so they don't. I don't care.

[Stu Burguiere]

You've used them for their instruments and now you can say whatever the hell you want.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't care who they are. But they're fantastic. And this is all standards that you'll be able to sing along with and done in the traditional style.

[Stu Burguiere]

My wife sent me a social media post of you listening, I guess for the first time to something, one of the songs and with your daughter over your shoulder. Very, very nice. I like your little relationship with your. I mean, I don't like you, but I like you and your. I like your family.

[Glenn Beck]

Thank you.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know?

[Glenn Beck]

Thank you.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't know how to.

[Glenn Beck]

You don't know how to.

[Stu Burguiere]

There's a warm part I have for your family, and then I think you're involved, and I don't like it.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

But generally speaking, no, this is gonna be great. It's a great. I still haven't heard it. You haven't sent it to me, obviously. Like, that's too much of a. Too much of a hassle for you to actually let me hear it.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

But what I've heard.

[Glenn Beck]

Send it to Pat. We just didn't send it to you.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's interesting.

[Glenn Beck]

Anyway. All right, let's. Let's go back to what we were talking about here a minute ago, and that is some of the picks that Donald Trump is making. He is putting his cabinet together and some of the people that he has chosen. You know, I like Marco Rubio.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't. I wanted somebody stronger in the Department of State, and here's why. You got to fire everybody for the first two floors. You know, the top two floors, all of them gone. All of them fire. Bye. Bye. Hey. Hey. What floor are you on? I'm on eight. Oh, you're fired. I don't care what you do. You're fired.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is something that, by the way, Donald Trump known for.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

In fact, the thing he was most famous for until he. Now he became President of the United States.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

You're fired. I think it's interesting because with Rubio, you think of. He strikes me as a guy who will competently do this job. Right. Like, he's probably competently managed the State Department. He doesn't strike me as a guy who's gonna come out and blow out the first two floors.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't know. Yeah, I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

He doesn't strike me as that guy.

[Glenn Beck]

And that's the problem. I think he could effectively manage the State Department. Here's the problem. The State Department, a lot of that is CIA bull crap. Okay? A lot of this. What the State Department does is really not what you think. The State Department. Hey, I'm here to make a treaty. I'm here to now. No, you're not. It's CIA bullcrap. Let the CIA be what the CIA is, and let's get all of these people who think they know better than every president they've ever served out of there. I want them out of there. They've been there for 100 years. They keep doing the same bullcrap hey, let's. You know what we need? We need a foreign war. That's what we need. You know, I'll tell you what. If we keep the world destabilized and we're going to be in power. No, no, that doesn't work. That only creates enemies all around the world. Let's be friends to everyone unless they're enemies of ours. And if they attack us, bye, bye, Stay out of everybody's business. I don't see Marco Rubio as that guy. Now, that may not be what Trump wants to do. It may be. And he knows something about Marco Rubio that I don't know.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. And Rubio, I think, has changed a little bit in his policy platform over the years.

[Glenn Beck]

And I hate to throw him under the bus because I actually, we definitely not with him a million times. And I like him.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. And I don't think, I mean, I wouldn't say at all that we're throwing him under the bus. I find the pick to be interesting, though. Like, I think it's the type of thing that a.

[Glenn Beck]

Don't say it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Old school Republican who is skeptical of Donald Trump and afraid he's going to pick crazy people in every role would be calmed by. Right. Like I think you would say.

[Glenn Beck]

I think, I think a George Bush would be calmed by this.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And I don't like that.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think that if you are a foreign ally, you might look at this and be like, wait a minute, they told us he was gonna pick all crazy people. And Marco Rubio is totally an expected type of pick for a Republican president. So I think from that perspective, like, there, that can make you nervous or it can make you hopeful. I think that, you know, Rubio and I did look back at his Ukraine funding, by the way. I would say if he follows a pattern, early on, he supported some of the funding and I think became more skeptical of it as it went on. So that's not completely inconsistent with Trump's position.

[Glenn Beck]

And here's why I'm protective of Donald Trump.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I feel like. No, no, no, please don't. They might be an enemy of yours. You know what I mean? Because the last time he didn't know who to pick, he said, I didn't know who to pick. I had to pick all these people and I didn't know who. I didn't know the players, you know. And now he still has to pick like 4,000 people, minimum. The number is probably closer to 20,000. You can't pick that many. Make sure the big ones are solid in your camp. And maybe they are. I don't know.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think Rubio, I mean, look, Rubio is under serious consideration for the vice presidential slot. By all reporting, I think he is pretty aligned with Donald Trump. I think he pretty much is. It'll just be interesting to see because these, as we've seen with Trump at times, these relationships tend to crumble a little bit after a positive start. So I don't know. I don't know if they're so closely aligned, but if you're taking a role like Secretary of State, Glenn, I mean, you know, you are taking a role that is under, quite clearly the President of the United States. Your job is to execute the policy of the president. Your job is not to go out there with your own views.

[Glenn Beck]

And I know that.

[Stu Burguiere]

I know you know that.

[Glenn Beck]

They don't know that. That certainly everybody on the top two floors needs to know that on their way out with their box of stuff, you go, oh, why was I fired again? Oh, I thought I knew better than the president. I get it. Well, I guess I'm going back to Omaha.

[Stu Burguiere]

So let me ask you this, Glenn.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

The Senate Majority leader, you've got John Thune, you got John Cornyn and Rick Scott.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think so.

[Glenn Beck]

That is, that is, that is just. I pray for a quick death. When it comes to Cornyn. I expect death, but not to come rapidly. Maybe yourself, by the way, Maybe I have.

[Stu Burguiere]

Talking about yourself now.

[Glenn Beck]

Maybe I, yeah, maybe I have, you know, third stage cancer. You know what I mean? Just about to go into fourth. Okay. And then I have somebody who I'm like, okay, I might, I might have a cold from time to time.

[Stu Burguiere]

With Scott.

[Glenn Beck]

With Scott.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay. I want J.D. vance. That's who I want. I want the president to say, J.D. here's what you're going to do. You're going to go in and you're going to do what John Adams did and you're going to sit in that chair and you're going to say, hey, you know what? It's the highest ranking member of the Senate that be me. So I'm setting the agenda. Now. Maybe he will do that if whoever is selected doesn't play ball. But Donald Trump cannot have anyone just on the appointments, you know, remember, they'll drag things out and drag things out and drag things out. And then you miss your window of opportunity. Donald Trump right now is saying, all of these have to be approved right now. Get this off. You got to do it in a recess. Recess appointments. Do it. Get it done. Right now.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And if they don't, they're going to tie up all the rest. He's got to have these appointments.

[Stu Burguiere]

It strikes me, and you tell me if I'm reading this situation wrong. It strikes me as Donald Trump thinks getting the recess appointment possibility where he can name all these other people is more important than who the actual Senate Majority Leader is.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

And then he's willing to go with any of them if they'll give him that piece.

[Glenn Beck]

I think so.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I think if he does not come out and say he wants Rick Scott to get this job, there's no chance of it happening. I think Donald Trump has to, I.

[Glenn Beck]

Think he's trying to let the system play itself, not create any enemy. This, I think that's what you're saying, not create any enemies, but I hope he has in his back pocket. You screw with me and I'm sending J.D. vance in, that's what I'm going to do. Because we have no time, remember, 100 days to fundamentally strip all of this stuff out. That's going to be hard. The Democrats right now, they've been working for the last year on trying to figure out how to cement this plan into place that they have. So he's not only got to go find everything that they, every button and lever and everything that they've turned up, turned down, shut on, shut off, turned on, he's got to go in there and find all of it and then rip it out. He has 100 days to get these people in line and working. If he doesn't get that. So he's got to play hardball from the very beginning. And there's nobody better than playing hardball than Donald Trump and there's nobody better at negotiating. So if he, if he is quiet on, on the Senate, believe me, he remembers what a pain in the ass Mitch McConnell was, okay? He knows that. So if he's being quiet, I trust him as a negotiator.

[Stu Burguiere]

He's got these guarantees.

[Glenn Beck]

He's got something up his sleeve that. Oh, you, oh, you want to screw it with me? Okay, you go ahead. You go ahead. I'm going to leave you alone. You can do your job, but if you don't follow and get this stuff done, I'm building a building over your house. That kind of thing.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know what I mean? Look, a part of this dance is picking your battles, right? And it strikes me, I could be wrong on this, but it strikes me as that Donald Trump has not identified Senate Majority Leader as a top tier battle for him.

[Glenn Beck]

He thinks, I think it is in.

[Stu Burguiere]

Hearing him when Rick is not a top tier priority. So far.

[Glenn Beck]

I know, I know that he has said on the campaign trail, I have to have the Senate. I have to have it. We have to get these things through quickly. So it is, I know it is a top priority. So again, my only critique is what does he know that I don't know. I think he got something up his sleeve.

[Stu Burguiere]

It strikes me as he sees Thune, Cornyn Scott, whatever. Give me what I want. I can work with any of them. I don't want to, I don't want to sit here and use my capital to pick out of that group. Yes, like that. So just give me, give me what I want and I need out of those guys and I'll work with whoever wants, whoever's going to get it.

[Glenn Beck]

He's doing the carrot right now. Whatever. What's his stick?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, okay.

[Glenn Beck]

Because he has a stick. You know he does. All right, back in just a second. This year we've got a lot to be thankful for. Like maybe the world isn't coming to an end right away. I mean, that's a nice thing. Maybe, maybe, maybe. I'm just saying maybe Jesus is like, you know what, I'm going to take a little rest. I'm not coming back right yet this Thanksgiving.

If you own your own home, I have a question for you. Do you like owning that home?

[Glenn Beck]

No.

[Stu Burguiere]

Glen doesn't like owning his home.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't know. Always stuff to fix. Yes, lawns to mow.

[Stu Burguiere]

You're really convincing me on this one. Believe me, home ownership is not always the easiest thing in the world. However, you don't necessarily want to throw away all the cash that you're putting putting into that home. You want to be able to sell that home later on to someone else. But what if someone has already taken possession of your home?

[Glenn Beck]

Are they going to mow the lawn?

[Stu Burguiere]

They don't. You still mow the lawn, you still fix the stuff. They just get all the money out of the house. It's called home title theft. It's a great deal for cybercriminals. Fantastic line of work if you happen to be a cyber criminal overseas somewhere.

[Glenn Beck]

So Sarah, who orchestrates and selects our music, does a little more than that. Sarah, what do you. What do you think of the pick so far? I'm not pro Kamala at all. I'd never wanted a female president. I'm not very feminist, but I love that he, Trump is putting very strong women in very big positions. It makes me, I don't know, feel really good about it. Chief of Sly, what do you mean? What do you mean? It's almost like behind every good man is a good woman. And now he has a bunch of them behind him. And I think it's a really good choice.

[Stu Burguiere]

Interesting.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, it is interesting. I'm trying to wrap my arms because what you're saying, you know, what I know of you is you don't care if it's a man or a woman. You don't care. You're not a feminist like that. It's gotta be a woman. Just give me the one who has the best qualifications. Absolutely. The one thing I will say is I don't want a female president ever. Why?

[Stu Burguiere]

It's so interesting because I know what.

[Glenn Beck]

I would do with a nuke button and I don't think that's a good idea.

[Stu Burguiere]

I swear. The only people who don't want female presidents are women. I swear. Sarah Gonzalez is, of course, here at the Blaze. This is a very long. This is like one of the first things she ever said to me when I first met her is that she didn't want a female president. I don't know.

[Glenn Beck]

It's a. I've heard that a lot.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

From women.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's interesting.

[Glenn Beck]

So I think this is, I think you're right. And it's like he's a really bad sexist and Nazi.

[Stu Burguiere]

He's terrible. Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Putting all these really strong women in and Jews. I don't think Hitler would have done that.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm just saying he's, you know, he's. They criticize him all the time for, you know, his business acumen isn't all that it's cracked up to be. And when they say he wants to be Hitler, I will say there is evidence. He's actually really terrible at being Hitler.

[Glenn Beck]

If that's what he's trying to do.

[Stu Burguiere]

He is awful at it. You know, he really needs to understand that naming Jews and women to high level positions is totally dismantling his idea of being Hitler.

[Glenn Beck]

I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

Why can't he get this? I don't understand.

[Glenn Beck]

All right, Florida, Michael Waltz, National Security Advisor. Also Lee Zeldin.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's cool.

[Glenn Beck]

To lead the epa.

[Stu Burguiere]

I like that. I think I like that.

[Glenn Beck]

I think I like that too, a lot. However, I am worried. Stop picking them from Congress. Please stop picking them from Congress. The Glenn Beck program. It's hard right now to have financial peace of mind when our country, even the world, is in turmoil and chaos. We don't know what's going to happen with the finances.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Oh, it's about to get hot and steamy in here. No, seriously, hot and steamy. We have, we have sexy, sexy tariff talk coming up. Yeah, let me say it again. Tariffs. Oh, yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

It was actually the original name for this show. Working title was tariff talk.

[Glenn Beck]

Glenn talk, but we thought it was too sexy. Yeah, we thought too many people would tune in and go too on the nose. I gotta hear tariff talk. Oh yeah, we're gonna go to that here in just a second. Stand by. My Patriot supply is our sponsor and we have reached the point where you need to take a moment, put your hands on your knees, stare at the ground, take a de breath for a moment. Take another deep breath, let out a huge sigh of relief. Feels good. Okay, we didn't burn the country down yet, so don't lose that feeling of relief. But I said yet. The left has plans.

I think he's, I think, I think his last name says everything. Peter St. Peter, which I Believe is Franch.

[Stu Burguiere]

What happening?

[Glenn Beck]

Sexy, sexy tax tariff talk from the Heritage Foundation, a visiting fellow, we have Peter St. Ange. How are you, Peter?

[Oprah Winfrey]

I am great. I appreciate that introduction. Yes, it is that sexy.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Oh, I know. Everybody says it. Everybody says it. So without getting it too steamy in here. So let's go over the tariffs, because I've always been against tariffs. However, I might be wrong. Donald Trump is making a good case when he's talking about getting rid of the income tax because tariff tariffs will raise the prices of things, especially if he does it the way he's talking about doing it. But if he is getting rid of or lowering the income tax to 10% and it's such a boon for the economy that we could make up that deficit and become a very powerful nation again. Tell me I'm wrong.

[Oprah Winfrey]

That's absolutely correct. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And economists, you know, the vast majority of economists go after tariffs. They attack Trump over tariffs. And I think they are looking at the trees for the forest here. Because if you replace a tariff, which is basically a sales tax, but it's. It's one that focuses on imported goods, if you replace that with either reducing or, you know, in our dream scenario, abolishing the entire income tax is absolutely rocket fuel for the economy.

[Glenn Beck]

Hold on. The reason is because he just said, abolish the income tax. I mean, pay attention, Sarah. This is. He just said, abolish income tax. Oh, yeah.

[Oprah Winfrey]

All right, go ahead, queue up the. Right, the background music. So, yeah, and he actually floated abolishing it with Joe Rogan a couple weeks ago. You know, he had been going after. He said no tax on tips and then no tax on overtime, no tax on first responders, no tax on Social Security. And it was kind of like he was really flirting with, just breaking up with the income tax altogether. And when he was on there with Rogan, that's exactly what he did. He said, you know, maybe we should go back to the 1800s when, you know, that was before we had an income tax. It was also before we had a Fed. And back then, the federal government had to live off tariffs. And that was the greatest period not only of economic growth, but of cultural achievement. It is astounding what we. Everything Elon Musk does was invented in the 1880s. Computers, magnetism, rockets, what's his hyperloop. Every single thing came out of there. It was really the golden age of humanity. And the key there was that we did not have an income tax. We did not have a regulatory state we did not have a fed. So if Trump can take us back there and all we have to do is like an 8% sales tax on Chinese stocks, that is the deal of the century.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay, so let's go over that. Who pays the tariffs, American companies or the foreign country?

[Oprah Winfrey]

Interestingly, during Trump's first term, he put tariffs on China, and China actually paid about 80% of those. So it would issue subsidies to Chinese exporters so they could maintain market share and keep their prices low. So the Chinese government paid the tariffs. So if he does it again, he's talking about hitting China with something like 60% tariffs and then between a 10 and 20% tariff for everybody else. Now, given Trump's style, he is not going to come in and do that across the board. He's going to come in and use that as a club. Right. So the Europeans specifically, they act like a fortress. They are brutal to outsiders. If you want to export the Europe, they will. They put you over a barrel.

[Glenn Beck]

Barrel.

[Oprah Winfrey]

You remember a couple years ago with Brexit, the first thing the European Union did was sat them down and said, nice economy you got here. Be ashamed of something happened to it. We're going to need a payment from you every single year. It is literally the Mafia. They do that to Norway, Switzerland. All these countries have to fork over billions of dollars to get access to the European market. Now, imagine if we did that. Imagine if we call up Mexico or Canada, we say, hey, listen, we got this beautiful economy. You guys are selling into it here. Once you write me a check for 50 billion to keep access, that's exactly what the Europeans do. So the first thing Trump's probably going to do, given what he did last time, is he'll call up Europe and he will do the exact same thing. He'll say, you know, I got a 20% tariff burning a hole in my pocket. I need you to do something for some. Some things for me. But anyway, even if he does end up applying those to all foreigners, the Europeans are not going to cover the exporters because they're in a deep fiscal hole. They don't have the money. They're already bankrupt. They're not going to do what China did. But a lot of those tariffs, especially the ones for China, are probably going to keep getting paid by China because exports to America are what they live on. If they lose that, the game's over.

[Glenn Beck]

And we should not be empowering them, quite honestly. Now, here's why I have possibly turned around. I'm willing to listen to tariff talk because in my Cute little head. I keep thinking that all of the. With when you have an extra 20 or $30,000 that you're pulling in every year, whatever it is you were paying in income tax and everything, everything goes down that's made here in America. If you're not paying that income tax, you have a lot of extra buying power, which means most Americans will spend that and we'll grow our economy, which will put but more taxes. Well, we don't have tax, so that wouldn't work. How does it work when you don't have taxes? Go ahead.

[Oprah Winfrey]

Yeah, so just kind of running through the numbers. So the first thing that happens is if you get rid of the income tax altogether, so I estimate you get about a 20% jump in incomes in the US so that would be something like $15,000 for typical family. That's what you get off the bat. The typical family currently in America pays about 18,000 in income tax. So you save that and then you knock off about 3,000 for the tariffs. There's a variety of estimates on that, but that seems to be the cluster. So you get a 15,000 raise because the economy is growing faster. You get an 18,000 raise because you don't have to send your income tax to the government. People don't realize how much they're paying to the government. Right. A lot of it is hidden. But anyway, you know, you've got the, what do they call it? Withholding.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Oprah Winfrey]

Anyway, so that's 33. And that's all three for the tariffs. You look at $30,000 raise per year, 2500amonth. Now currently the median American take home is about 58,000. Okay. Which is about 76 minus the income tax. So you go from taking home 58 to taking home 88.

[Tina Descovich]

Right.

[Oprah Winfrey]

That is a massive difference. So that sort of sets the stage. But then next what happens? Exactly what you just mentioned.

[Glenn Beck]

Hold on. You go from 58 to 88. Oh, yeah. Ding dong pizza delivery man. Anyway, why is that the part you.

[Stu Burguiere]

Like so much in his movies? It's interesting what he's excited about.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't know. All right, go ahead. All right.

[Oprah Winfrey]

I love it.

[Glenn Beck]

And it's true.

[Oprah Winfrey]

I mean, if you're making 88, you can go to Vegas and things happen in Vegas.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, right. Creating jobs.

[Oprah Winfrey]

Correct. Yeah. Well, and so that's the fun part, right, is you mentioned earlier that if you're not paying income tax, then production in the US is cheaper. So instead of the Chinese socks coming in, you know, they used to come in for whatever $6 now, they're coming in at $9. Fine. But China's paying for that, so they're probably still coming in at 6. But meanwhile, American factories can make socks for less because they are not paying the income tax. There's a very good chance that we're going to steal a lot of that manufacturing, even if the Chinese government pays for the tariff. So you've got to.

[Glenn Beck]

And that means also because the economy, we are building factories, we're doing things ourself. Can your everybody's pay goes up because we need more workers.

[Oprah Winfrey]

Right, exactly, exactly. And then if you do mass deportations and those jobs will actually go to America. So you've got two possibilities, right? One of them is that China covers the tariffs, in which case it's a free lunch for us. You know, China's what, sending us about 500 billion? Well, their share would be, let's say 300 billion. So that would be fantastic. Thank you very much. Or China does not cover the tariffs, in which case Chinese goods are priced out of the market. American goods pay no income tax, so they're cheaper. By the way, every headquarter on earth would try to move to the United States if you're paying no income taxes. And the single biggest economy on earth, everybody is going to be moving here, including the Chinese companies. So, right. The worst case scenario, the Chinese don't cover it and then they get out competed and all those jobs come back to America. And if it's only Americans living here, then Americans are going to be swimming in jobs.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, this is just. This is big. How much?

[Oprah Winfrey]

Oh, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, he has only kind of floated this on the Rogan show. How real do you think this is? Because I know he loves tariffs. I know he loves tariffs.

[Oprah Winfrey]

He loves tariffs and he hates the income tax. So it's beautiful. It's like a. Just like the perfect mutant president that we.

[Stu Burguiere]

Peter, isn't the complication here, though, that he can essentially do what he wants with tariffs, but he can't do what he wants with the income tax? And that becomes the heavy lift here.

[Oprah Winfrey]

Right. So he would need Congress to play ball on the income tax. And Congress is very tight, as we're all discussing at the moment. There's a ton of rhinos over there, so that's going to need, you know, the pressure and the passion that people showed during the campaign. Millions of Americans showed. Yeah, we're gonna have to put that on the rhinos.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I think that if he did a tour even, and it was just all about income tax, you Just have to say to people, you go from 58 to 88 in take home pay. I think a lot of people will be like, you know what, I love that.

[Stu Burguiere]

I agree. But you're not gonna get, obviously. So in theory, you could put it into a reconciliation bill. Right. You could put at least a massive reduction. You couldn't. Not a constitutional amendment, unfortunately, that's what I would prefer repealing the 16th.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, me too. But you could capture Americans imagination with this.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I think that's pretty, that would be pretty great. I do think you'd have issues with some of these, as you point out, rhino type Republicans who would complain about all sorts of things, including deficit stuff.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Like they would say, or we're going to lose all this income.

[Glenn Beck]

All right, so let me take a break and then let's talk about the deficit. Peter. All right, Peter saying auge he is. I'm not going to hold it against him for being French. I mean, somewhere in his past somebody had sex with a Frenchman. Okay, let's move past that. He's with the Heritage foundation, he visiting fellow.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is definitely the weirdest interview he's ever done. He's regretting every minute of this.

[Glenn Beck]

Like, this is the end of my career and my credibility. All right, Relief Factor is our sponsor. This half hour, it's time for you to take back your life from the pain that has been keeping you down.

Visit relief factor.com or call 800, the number four relief. That's 800, the number four relief. Ten seconds, station ID. Okay, I think I got this number from you, Peter. But a tariffs would bring in about 900 billion, almost a trillion dollars. But we're spending now, I don't even know how much. $4 trillion a year, some crazy number like that. So how do you bridge the gap?

[Oprah Winfrey]

Six and a half?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, six and a half. Okay. All right, good.

[Stu Burguiere]

So there's a bit of a gap.

[Glenn Beck]

There's a five and a half billion dollar trillion dollar gap.

[Oprah Winfrey]

Yeah. So income tax itself is taking about two and a half trillion. And then you've got what? You've got payroll, you've got excise, things like gasoline, cigarettes, whatnot. You've got capital gains, corporate income tax. Those hopefully would be folded into an income tax. Repeal those last two, you put it together and you're looking at about 2.4 trillion in lost revenue. And then you've got 900 and tariffs coming in for it. So you got a gap of about 1.5. Now, if the economy grows 20%, then you're going to get about 500 billion more from payroll tax and from excise. So you're looking at a net loss of 1 trillion. Now, I personally would prefer to get rid of the payroll tax as well. Tax is as bad as the income tax, right? Because the income tax is on top of it. It also varies with how much you produce. The payroll tax is a flat tax. So, you know, in a perfect world, we're not taxing work at all. We're taxing bad things, not good things. But in the grand scheme, you know, in terms of incentives, get rid of income tax first and then we can have the next conversation, which would be getting rid of the payroll tax. So we just get rid of the income tax. We're talking about 2.4 net of the tariffs, net of the economic growth. You're talking one trillion. So you'd be cutting one trillion out of a budget of about six and a half. Now, Elon is, you know, he's talking about Doge, his Department of Government Efficiency, and he's floating 2 trillion. So I haven't seen the math on those. I don't know where that's coming from. I agree wholeheartedly. I'm certain that we can cut much more than that. The easy part is just cutting out the parts of the military that invade foreign countries. So bring them home, put them on the border, put them in the Coast Guard, convert the Navy ships into Coast Guard ships that patrol our waters, stop invading other countries. That'd be a very easy 800 billion. If we look at countries like Japan or UK which have, you know, UK has a functioning military, it's got a coast guard, although it doesn't use it. It's got nuclear weapons, it's got the whole, the whole kit. And they spend less than 100 billion. So that's very easy. Of course you can cut welfare for able bodied people, which, you know, the government tries very, very hard to hide how much it spends on welfare, but it's easily over a trillion. The cost of illegals themselves, which very conservatively is about 150 billion a year, maybe closer to 300 billion by some estimates because again, they're trying to hide the costs. Pharmaceutical, right. There is a, that's going to be coming into focus with RFK here. But there is a ton of waste and corruption in pharmaceutical payments. Those are something like 20% of our economy. So you can go through those. But really if you sort of zoom out, you're very familiar with the 10th Amendment. There are precisely four agencies that are authorized, right? State, justice, defense, treasury, with post offices. And so strictly speaking, if we had a Supreme Court that actually read the common sense language in the 10th Amendment, almost the entire thing is gone. You would slash everything. Personally, I would keep Social Security and Medicare because they've already been paid for. That's a complicated issue. I think you've got to make sure that people are protected because they already got ripped off on the way in. But aside from that, almost everything they do these from DEI to just to the Federal Reserve, all of that is unconstitutional. You slash that down and you are, gosh, you're probably more than 3 trillion down.

[Glenn Beck]

So do you think we have a shot at doing that? Is he putting the team in around him to do something like this?

[Oprah Winfrey]

So the closest we have, I follow Poly Market very closely. They've got odds on pretty much everything out there. And the sort of tip of the spear on income tax repeal is starting with tax on tip. Right. That was the one that he most clearly promised. And so that's kind of a proxy for the whether, you know, we're going to start hacking away at the income tax.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Oprah Winfrey]

Tax on tips is currently running 38% on poly market. That's the number I'm watching. That's encouraging because it means it's not just talk that, you know, people with capital behind them believe it's real. But for sure Congress is going to play ball. We're going to get a big.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, thank you so much, Peter. We'll have you on again. Great explanation of this, Peter St. Ange, he is with the Heritage Foundation. You can Follow [e-mail] Good luck spelling Ange. I mean, just saying Glenn Beck.

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I've already decorated my Christmas tree. I can't wait for Christmas. And we have a Christmas album coming out and it has all of the Christmas standards on it. You're going to love, love it. It is Cheyenne Grace. That is my daughter, you know. But I, I will tell you, I was, I told her I am not going to put an album for sale on my show if it sucks. I'm sure I'm into nepotism, but good nepotism, you have to earn it. So it's really good. So, so it comes out in a couple of weeks. We'll let you know. Maybe as early as next week you'll be able to get it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Producers are able to know the release date of the album.

[Glenn Beck]

I know. Well, you know, I was a little busy.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh really?

[Glenn Beck]

A little busy. So we were talking about the average person's take home pay going from 58,000 to 88,000. Oh, what is this?

[Stu Burguiere]

What is this music? Is this supposed to be like 70s porn music?

[Glenn Beck]

I do, yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

There's no women singing in 70s porn music.

[Glenn Beck]

Are you hearing the women oh, there it is.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, I don't know where. I'm not up on my 70s porn. You've never heard.

[Stu Burguiere]

You've never heard a parody of a.

[Glenn Beck]

In fact, I have. I thought this was pretty close, but not.

[Stu Burguiere]

No, it's. What is this? What is she singing about? Sarah?

[Glenn Beck]

She's just singing. All right, stop. So Stu, of course, is a little black Raincloud on the 58,000. The average person's take home pay 58,000 to 88,000.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay, let me just lay this out briefly.

[Glenn Beck]

All right, go ahead.

[Stu Burguiere]

I like going from 58,000 to $88,000.

[Glenn Beck]

That's good.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm very much.

[Glenn Beck]

He wants it.

[Stu Burguiere]

I am.

[Glenn Beck]

Look at the way he's dressed.

[Stu Burguiere]

Stewedoesmerch.com has mugs that say, Repeal the 16th anniversary.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know. You're for it.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm for it.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

If you can do the three things needed in this plan. One, eliminate the income tax.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I think you could do that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Two, cut spending by multiple trillions of dollars.

[Glenn Beck]

I think you might be able to do that.

[Stu Burguiere]

You do those things, you can have any tariff you want.

[Glenn Beck]

What?

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm fine. I don't even. I don't like tariffs at all. And I would be. I would be completely for eliminating all of them.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

However, yeah, if you can do all that, I'm completely fine with whatever. You can put 1 trillion percent tariffs on Chinese. Whatever goods. Whatever you want.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm fine with it. If you could do those other two things, I'm. Can we be honest about this? Isn't it a bit of a fantasy to get those two things done? I want these things.

[Glenn Beck]

Lots of things are fantasies until they come true. I was surprised that happened to me.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, Mr.

[Glenn Beck]

He doesn't know porn. Knows all the tropes.

[Stu Burguiere]

And so it's interesting how you could just immediately go into the exact porn. Hey, the pizza delivery guy, the thing.

[Glenn Beck]

He brought him over and over again. Apparently his favorite part of all the.

[Stu Burguiere]

Movies is when the pizza shows up. What a surprise. He stops there. He doesn't even make it to the sex.

[Glenn Beck]

He stops at the pizza. That's exactly right. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Can you put the camera back on the pizza? What's happening? That looked good. All right. Anyway.

[Stu Burguiere]

But I mean, come on.

[Glenn Beck]

Do we really. May I say three?

[Stu Burguiere]

What I'm concerned about here?

[Glenn Beck]

Two words, two letters. May I just say.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Roe versus Wade.

[Stu Burguiere]

I would have said the exact same.

[Glenn Beck]

Thing about Roe versus Wade being a version.

[Stu Burguiere]

Let me give you Two other words that's true.

[Glenn Beck]

Three words. President Donald Trump.

[Stu Burguiere]

I would have also told you that would not occur in 2015. I would have said that. So it's so, look, miracles happen. Yeah, I agree with that.

[Glenn Beck]

They do.

[Stu Burguiere]

And maybe, but it does. To me, noting my experience of the past 40 plus years of life seems highly, highly suspect that those two things will get done.

[Glenn Beck]

I have a feeling that the world's changed and everything that we've known from experience should go bye bye.

[Stu Burguiere]

I like your world better than my world. I want to make sure I'm clear on that. But what I'm concerned about here is that you need like, I would be surprised if they can't get a tax cut done. They'll get something done on taxes. They get a reconciliation bill. They get one shot at that. They are gonna have 53 senators.

[Glenn Beck]

How hard do you not think the American people will embrace 58,000 to 88,000 in take home pay?

[Stu Burguiere]

I think they'll like that. I think they will love that. What they will not like is hearing about all the programs that will go away and all the single.

[Glenn Beck]

And all you'll have to say is $58,000 to $88,000.

[Stu Burguiere]

And yes, I'm sure Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski and a bunch of other RINO senators will go along.

[Glenn Beck]

People stand up the way they've stood up. This is a positive thing to rally about.

[Stu Burguiere]

I agree.

[Glenn Beck]

You don't think there would be marches all over. You don't think he would just pack people by the buttload into stadiums across and just say call your congressman, call your senator, that he would be able to rally American people like nobody's nobody else? I mean, look, you need what, 80%? You need. What is the percentage you need to cut the federal budget? What do you mean cut the federal budget? For instance, Calvin Coolidge did this. He cut the federal budget by 50%. Yes. And then he cut the budget again by 50%. Incredible. And he lowered the income tax from like 95 to like 5%.

[Stu Burguiere]

You don't have to sell me on the Calvin Coolidge presidency. I love Calvin Coolidge. What do you. I don't. What do you need to. It's not like.

[Glenn Beck]

Who is listening to this show?

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't know.

[Glenn Beck]

You don't have to sell me Calvin Coolidge. Oh, yeah, talk some more. Calvin Coolidge.

[Stu Burguiere]

Is that before or after the pizza shows up?

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, my gosh, what a nerd program this is today.

[Stu Burguiere]

I would love Calvin Coolidge to come back to life and his policies to be Passed.

[Glenn Beck]

But that's all that Donald Trump is saying. Let's do Calvin Coolidge. That gave.

[Stu Burguiere]

Calvin Coolidge is known as a great president to conservatives because he accomplished something very difficult. You know why I'm acknowledging that this is difficult?

[Glenn Beck]

Do you know why he did? Because Woodrow Wilson, the progressive, just started gobbling everything up and everybody went, I don't want that. That was the uniqueness of Calvin Coolidge. He was put into a situation where they scared the hell out of every American and they were like, okay, this isn't going to work. I don't like that. And that's why he put that in. Why he was able to put that in.

[Stu Burguiere]

I like.

[Glenn Beck]

And by the way, just let me just say the Roaring Twenties.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

At the beginning, nobody had a telephone, refrigeration, electricity. By 1930, almost everybody had that.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'll note we're currently in the 20s. Would be a nice little retro thing to have another Roaring Twenties. It'd be a great way to kick it off. I am, of course, support these ideas, and I think it's better than previous approaches. Right. Where previously it was like, well, what if we only increase the budget by 1% a year and in 10 years we would be able to balance the budget like that. Those type of approaches, which are kind of technically maybe accurate, they don't inspire anybody. No, there's no, there's no excitement behind that.

[Glenn Beck]

This is what I've been asking for since 2010. Who is stepping up with a moonshot idea?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Who is? And Donald Trump is. He's stepping up and saying, see that space that everybody says we can't get to? We're going there.

[Stu Burguiere]

I like it, I like it. I want it to happen. I'm a bit skeptical that it can, but, hey, you're not a bad. Totally skeptical that it will occur. And I'm concerned because, look, we know that Donald Trump likes tariffs. I am not a tariff guy. But the problem is you have two very difficult things to do, which is cut multiple trillions of dollars from a budget which there's been no appetite, by the way. We should also note here that Donald Trump ran on multiple times, not digging in to massive programs that are the massive major cause of our debt. Things like Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid. He doesn't want to touch those programs, which is okay. I mean, he won the election on it. I get it. But like, you can't cut 75% of your budget unless you touch those programs.

[Glenn Beck]

Wait, what do you say about this? What do you say if Donald Trump proposes anyone making under $100,000 a year. And we're not going to combine salaries. If you're married, we're not going to punish you with a combined income.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay, so 50k a person, 50k a.

[Glenn Beck]

Person, 58k, you know, is the average salary 58k, you know, times two. We are only going to count. We're going to count. Both of you under 100,000, you pay 0 income tax. Everybody above them pays a flat tax of 15%. Yeah. Thank you, Sarah. Everybody wins in that. Everybody wins. I love it.

[Stu Burguiere]

I love it. First of all, you know what the media is going to do with that claim?

[Glenn Beck]

Who cares? The media doesn't matter anymore.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think there's something to that, but I think there would be a lot of. It would be difficult for a lot of these, let's say purple state, purple district representatives to go along with such things when their programs are being cut.

[Glenn Beck]

But.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay, all right, we go through that process and we do that. I don't see how you cut the trillions of dollars out of the budget without touching the programs that Donald Trump has promised not to touch. So that would be a difficult thing to deal with. And second, beyond that, he can just do the tariffs. And the problem with the tariffs are if you go through this fantasy league situation where all of this comes true and all of our wildest dreams are here and now you're depending on tariffs to fund the government. That's fantastic. Except for the fact that if the tariffs work and we move all of our manufacturing back to America, there's no one paying tariffs anymore. So then you have no income there either. So now you're cutting another 75% off, which, again, I'm probably fine with. But I don't know that America is.

[Glenn Beck]

This is the reason why I want tariffs and I'm for tariffs in the first place. We've got to build our manufacturing base back. So if you just go, let's say you. Let's say you say you pay tariffs, you pay nothing here. If you make it here, everybody moves back. You give them a 15% income tax. When the tariffs don't work anymore, they're not going anywhere because Nobody's offering a 15% corporate tax. Nobody.

[Stu Burguiere]

So you're then reinstituting theory.

[Glenn Beck]

You address that when you get there.

[Stu Burguiere]

And probably the answer to all this is there are less extreme options that sort of balance each other out. I don't either. I really like that we're not gonna move all of our manufacturing back, like, obviously, nor that would that even be A good thing, frankly. I mean, like, if anything, we've learned that maybe having diversity of where places are, where things are made is probably a good thing. Right? Because if we get a bad president here that says, hey, I'm gonna shut down this industry because I don't like it, we wanna make sure that stuff is still being made somewhere in the world because Donald Trump will not be president forever.

[Glenn Beck]

Think of that statement.

[Stu Burguiere]

You have to.

[Glenn Beck]

No one in their right mind 25 years ago, 30 years ago, any time in America would have said, well, except for prohibition, when the progressives were doing it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Nobody would have ever said, well, they're going to destroy this industry. They're just going to destroy it. No, but you didn't have that fear of the government. You shouldn't have that fear. It's crazy.

[Stu Burguiere]

But I do have that fear.

[Glenn Beck]

I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's why I worry about all this stuff whenever.

[Glenn Beck]

That's why this stuff has to be passed into law.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes. Not just executive order.

[Glenn Beck]

All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about the Ministry of Preborn. They are fighting for the lives of babies and they are fighting for the lives and the souls of moms. You know, about 68% of moms that go in and have an abortion don't want to. They just feel alone. They feel like they don't have anyone in their life that will help support them. That has to come to an end. We have to change the hearts and minds in this country. Not the laws, the hearts and minds. I'm proud to partner with Preborn because every day they sponsor free ultrasounds for women as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born. When a mom sees her unborn baby on that monitor, she hears the heartbeat. She's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby. So would you donate $28? 28 bucks would save a baby at least double the chances of that baby living. Would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way? If you've had a great year, tax deductible donation of $15,000 will place an ultrasound machine in needy women's centers, saving countless babies for years to come. Donate. Just dial 250, say the keyword baby. That's £250, keyword baby. Or go to preborn.com beck. That's preborn.com beck. All gifts are tax deductible and Preborn has a four star charity rating. Fight for babies. Fight, fight, fight, fight. Sponsored by Preborn. You're listening to the Swinging SOUNDS of GLENN BECK Sit tight, boys and girls. We'll be right back after. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad you're here. Let me play a couple of pieces of audio that came out yesterday. Let's play cut one. This is from CBS News.

[Stu Burguiere]

On the campaign trail, President elect Donald.

[Glenn Beck]

Trump repeatedly promised to launch what he calls the largest deportation operation in American history targeting undocumented immigrants. By the way, There are roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants, immigrants living in this country today. And a CBS News analysis found it would cost up to $216 billion over Trump's next term to deport them all. Just to break that down, that's 54 billion per year. For comparison, allocation for the Immigration and Customs enforcement was just $9 billion. But beyond the price tag, the bigger question is how exactly would these massive deportations work? Trump, he has said he'll deploy the National Guard to detain undocumented immigrants, tap into local law enforcement to keep track of them and ramp up workplace raids.

[Stu Burguiere]

He has pledged to invoke the Alien.

[Glenn Beck]

Enemies Act of 1798, which allows the president to detain and remove immigrants during wartime. The last time it was used was during World War II for the internment of Japanese Americans.

[Stu Burguiere]

By whom? By who?

[Glenn Beck]

Congress later apologized and provided reparations for Japanese internment.

[Stu Burguiere]

What was the action?

[Glenn Beck]

Acknowledging that it was rooted in racial prejudice. Right. By who?

[Stu Burguiere]

Said by who. Yeah, they never mentioned that. Yeah, they just name him the best president of all time.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, Donald Trump needs to have, needs to not take credit for this one thing being the biggest, even though I think it will be the biggest. He needs to say, how are we doing this exactly the way Bill Clinton did this. He deported 11 million people in eight years and nobody said a word. Most people don't even know. Bill Clinton deported more people in the United States than any other president by far, and nobody said anything. Then why are we talking about this now? You know how I'm going to do it exactly the way Bill Clinton did it. I'm just going to take the recipe from the Democratic Party, the Glenn Beck program. Let me tell you about Jace Medical. Trump is going to be back in office and it's excellent news for the country. But in this transition period, there are going to be changes to law and policy that have far reaching effects and some of them could impact your ability to access and afford the medications that you need. The good news is there is something you can do to ensure that you and your loved ones have medical care when it's needed. It is A solution that thousands of people have already discovered.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's a new day I turn around.

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. So he hates women so much. Donald Trump that he is, I'm tell you he is going to just keep them in the kitchen or his cabinet or as chief of staff which no woman has ever done before. He hates them that much, he's going to give them those positions. Also, you know, he hates minorities.

[Stu Burguiere]

Hi, Glenn. Yeah, yeah, I Love. I love this week.

[Glenn Beck]

Last week was great. This week's shaping up to be another great week.

[Stu Burguiere]

Today's one week since the election.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, darn.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think about that week and all the wonderful things that have happened. There's a lot to be thankful for as we approach Thanksgiving.

[Glenn Beck]

If I had to ask you, Stu, what is the thing that you are most grateful for?

[Stu Burguiere]

I think the thing I'm most grateful for, Glenn, is the fact that the thing that really cost Kamala Harris the election.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Was the View. I freaking love it.

[Glenn Beck]

I think that's absolutely true as well. You remember it was on the View where they said, what would you change? I don't think anything. I, you know, I just. It was perfect. I don't. Every woman at home was like, oh my God, she doesn't go to the grocery store. It's fantastic.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. That. How many times, Glenn, did we sit on here yelling about? The one question with somebody needs to ask, right. Is what? Give me one single example of something you would change, something you oppose, something you went to Biden and said, hey, you got to change this man. And he wouldn't do it.

[Glenn Beck]

We didn't think there would be a reporter in the world that would ask her that question.

[Stu Burguiere]

And do you remember when it happened? Live on the air? Yeah, when it happened. And I was shocked. The one person who finally stepped up with the correct question, the most basic obvious question that needed to be asked to Kamala Harris was somebody on the View. I don't remember who it was. Was it Sunny? I don't even remember who it was.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't remember remember all their names, but it was incredible.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

And so really this went immediately into Trump ad, after Trump ad, after Trump ad, after Trump ad. And I think arguably was the difference. It was at least a key thing because they tried to hide that fact for a long time. She's the change candidate. We talked about this on and off the air. How can you convince the American people that the vice president of the United States is not the change candidate?

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Why isn't this working? This should be obvious. And what we came down to was someone needs to get her on the record saying what she would change. And the answer was she couldn't think of anything after having three months to prepare for that question. She had nothing. And what's interesting about this, and one of the. I think the truth of that moment is the left leaning media ecosphere all knew what they had to do. They all understood their role here. They all knew Just like I know. Just like, you know, just like everybody in the audience knows, Kamala Harris has absolutely no ability whatsoever to think on her feet. They all knew that. They all were 100% in on the same information that any human being should be able to suss out from watching her for 10 seconds. She can't do this. So they very carefully catered and tailored their interviews to make sure she would never be put in that position. They were very, very careful with what they asked her, how they asked her the questions. When they asked difficult questions, quote, unquote, difficult questions, they would provide answers in the questions so that she could latch onto what they said and she could just go along with it. They did everything they could to massage those interviews, to get her through her weak points. They knew where her weak points were. And while the left is wrong on a lot of things, they're not idiots. The problem is the View are idiots. Every single person on the cast is a moron. And those people, those. Those idiots didn't understand the game.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

They were so stupid. They thought the pitch of Kamala Harris as this strong, independent, brilliant woman was real. They thought to themselves, oh, we can ask that question. That's an easy question. Of course she'll have.

[Glenn Beck]

If you were asking a hard question and you're the View, and you want that candidate to win, you'd say, I'm going to ask you a hard question. You might want to think about what you would do differently. And then you would ask that question.

[Stu Burguiere]

They would leak it to them in advance, off record, one way or another.

[Glenn Beck]

That's what they did with the debates. I mean, why not the View? That's how stupid they are. They actually thought she'd be able to answer that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And can you imagine how all of their hearts sunk when she said, really nothing? They all must have gone, oh, dear God, I'm stupid, but not that stupid.

[Stu Burguiere]

And then when they saw their stupid faces in tens of millions of dollars of ads against their candidate, when they're telling everybody in their, oh, this is going to be Hitler. The reason Adolf is in power is you dummy. I love every bit of this.

[Glenn Beck]

I really wish I had Elon Musk money, because I would just do an ad. I'd buy up every single ad on ABC that hour for weeks, just gloating, hey, you know those women on the couch, Boy, they're brilliant.

[Stu Burguiere]

Whatever campaign money Donald Trump has, they should do a giant thank you to the women of the View for their role in getting Donald Trump elected. I love this narrative by the Way, I'm not the only person thinking it. James Carville came out in an interview and said that was the key moment in the campaign. The big mistake she made was not having an answer to that question. And it was the view.

[Glenn Beck]

How did you not have an answer?

[Stu Burguiere]

It just.

[Glenn Beck]

It's incredible because I guess because she really was going to do the same thing. And it was. It wasn't her doing it. It was whoever is running this country right now, you know, whoever the president is, whether that's Barack Obama or a committee and a star chance, I don't know who actually is running the place. But she was like, well, I'm just going to keep doing what, you know, what we're doing now. I mean, this is a great plan. And she didn't. She really.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, she is. You'd think she's aware enough to know that's a problem. I mean, don't think so. If you watch, though. I think she did. She said stuff like she was going to be tough on the border.

[Glenn Beck]

Those were written for her.

[Stu Burguiere]

They were. But she knows the approach. She knows that what they were trying to do. The reason why she wasn't doing interview after interview after interview at the beginning is she knew her own weakness. She knew that this is. This was the.

[Glenn Beck]

She thinks she's in a friendly room, right?

[Stu Burguiere]

And she is in a friendly room. Yes, but the friendly room is dumb. It's a bunch of dumb idiots.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, don't know the game.

[Stu Burguiere]

They don't understand. They are. They are. They are the victims of the Democrats here. So because the Democrats and Kamala campaign tried to manipulate their dumb voters into thinking, actually, she's tough on the border, actually, she's really smart, actually. She's a strong, tough woman. All the dumb things. But what they didn't realize is the view is they're dumb. They are the dumb voters. They're the victims. They're the people falling for your messaging, not helping you along with it. They're morons. And they all. All fell for it and they sunk the campaign.

[Glenn Beck]

And I love it so much.

[Stu Burguiere]

I can't even describe how much I love it. I love the fact that Joy Behar is in the middle of getting Adolf Hitler elected. It's so amazing. I don't think it could have come out any better.

[Glenn Beck]

Do you know why? You know why people are so stupid? No, seriously, why they're so stupid on the other side? Because they haven't had themselves thrown up against the wall for the last 20 years. Nobody has thrown them up against the Wall. Nobody has challenged them in any real way because they've controlled all of the institutions. And so they knew, well, it done my orange man bad and you'd get an honorary doctorate from Yale.

[Stu Burguiere]

And your dumb audience will clap for you correctly.

[Glenn Beck]

And everybody just keeps. Because you're not challenged. You don't really, you don't have a chance to actually, in your own head, fight that battle. You're not thinking about, well, what happens if I say that? If I say that, then this is going to happen. And this is going to happen because you, you're protected by everybody in these institutions. They didn't realize those institutions were over. Over. They were over. They were, they were so bloated, so fat, so arrogant because no one's challenged them. They just were living in their own little dummy bubble. And when, when all of a sudden Joe Rogan comes up and he's like, Yeah, I got 100 million people watching this. And they're like, well, we got, got 20 million to watch a debate which everybody in America was supposed to watch. It's over, it's over. Yeah, it's fantastic.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's really a legitimately positive.

[Glenn Beck]

But watch what they're doing now. They're not going to get smarter because there's no honest questioning. Even now they're still in the same bucket going, you know what it, they're Nazis. They're just all Nazis. Half the country is a Nazi.

[Stu Burguiere]

What it's been is essentially to expand the accusations of racism and sexism to Hispanics and black people. Yes, right now they're running out of.

[Glenn Beck]

You're running out of people to call racist. You're running out of people.

[Stu Burguiere]

And people have pointed this out a few times over the past couple of weeks, but there was this big piece, Matthew Iglesias, who wrote it. Somebody wrote it about how like, hey, you know, the left missed essentially this giant shift into what people care about the podcast world and those types of things, those types of audiences. And the right essentially successfully built some level of ecosphere outside of just talk radio with podcasters, people like Joe Rogan. And one of the answers to this was, hey, well, we need to come up with our own left leaning Joe Rogan. And people pointed out, though, guess who that was? Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan was the left leaning Joe Rogan until you people all went insane. He was endorsing Bernie Sanders for president. And what did they do when he did that? They bashed Bernie Sanders and said the correct response to Joe Rogan is to ostracize him because he Says things that are mean sometimes. And they attacked him and they wouldn't go back on his shows and people who did go on his shows got ostracized. And they did this so consistently and went so insane with things like women playing or men playing in girls sports.

[Glenn Beck]

And he's taken horses, horse medicine and.

[Stu Burguiere]

Horse medicine and all this stuff. They went so insane they turned their left leaning Joe Rogan into right leaning Joe Rogan and they turned left leaning Elon Musk into right leaning Elon Musk back in. They did this to themselves back in.

[Glenn Beck]

Just a second. Let me tell you, there's a break in every 26 seconds in the U.S. now did I, you know, has it happened to you yet? I don't know, it hasn't happened to me yet. But you know the, the back of the napkin math. That's over 3,000 break ins a day. I don't want to roll the dice. Let me tell you about Simplisafe. Simplisafe is award winning arsenal of sensors and security cameras that blanket every inch of your home. Now think how much better you'd sleep at night knowing that you, your family, your home were all being kept safe at all times. They offer Advanced Home Security 24, seven monitoring plans for less than a dollar a day.

Only you can get 60% off of any new system with select professional monitoring plan. This is their best offer of the year. So head to simplisafe.com bec that's simplisafe.com back. There is no safe like SimpliSafe. 10 seconds. Station ID. Here's the view. Discovering that got three. You know, a lot of people thought that when he talked about mass deportations.

[Stu Burguiere]

He wasn't being serious.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't know how many times he had to say it for people to realize he was being serious. Well, if you thought he wasn't being serious, the appointment of Tom Homan today as border czar. And he will be in charge of a mass deportation program.

[Stu Burguiere]

The largest the country has ever seen, they say. And now Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff should let you know that he was.

[Glenn Beck]

Absolutely.

[Stu Burguiere]

And when you talk about mass deportations, people think, oh, it's just Going to be the criminals. There's not enough criminals, aliens in the federal prison system for it to be mass deportations. What it means is grandmothers. What it means is brothers and aunts. What it means is abuelos. It means dreamers.

[Glenn Beck]

It means family members, it means your.

[Stu Burguiere]

Colleague, it means your friends. It means people who are part of the society.

[Glenn Beck]

And look, America, you know, those of.

[Stu Burguiere]

You who voted for Trump, this is what you wanted. This is what you voted for.

[Glenn Beck]

You screwed around and you're about to find out. No, we're not. We didn't screw around. We're all for that. We're all for that. You're here legally. I love you. You be my friend, my neighbor, anything. If you're here illegally, you can go out and then come back in. Legally, you're gonna be put to the back of the line, but you can do that. I'm fine with that. I have no problem. I have a problem with an open border where we don't know who anybody is. And if you're here illegally, bye, bye. And by the way, stop this crap. You don't know what it's gonna be like. You have no idea. Bill Clinton is the president who deported more people than anyone, any other president by far, and he deported 11 million illegals. So I don't remember the 90s being internment camps.

[Stu Burguiere]

Do you remember that the Democrats supported those policies at the time?

[Glenn Beck]

Already seeing it. People are already leaving. The people in Mexico. Remember, there were 150,000 in Mexico that the Mexicans had held back because the Biden administration said, don't let. Let them cross. Hold them until the election and then they can cross. Most of those people turned around and went away because they realized, oh, I'm not going in now. I'm going to be shipped back. Hello. That's how it works. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

When you don't put up a giant sign that says, please come here, yes, you, generally speaking, are going to solve a decent portion of the problem. It takes more than just tone. But, I mean, we saw this at the beginning of the Trump administration, when the tone was right, people just decided they didn't want to come. And look, I love this pitch here of like, we're talking about grandmas. Have grandmas broken the law? Grandmas that break the law get treated like regular grandsons that break the law. It doesn't matter what your title is. Are you here illegally? If you're here illegally, you shouldn't be here. That's all. This is a basic concept. It doesn't matter what level of Maternity or paternity you've found yourself in. The bottom line is, if you've broken the law by coming here, then, yes, you do need to leave. And, yes, he was serious about that. I don't think anybody was downplaying how serious he was about picking people out that were here.

[Glenn Beck]

Seriously. Well, then you were a moron, which makes sense because you're watching the View, by the way. Let me play this. This is CNN's Fear of Elon Musk. Listen to this. Mar A Lago has basically been brimming for the last two days, I'm told, with two kinds of people. Those angling for a job and those who are trying to influence Trump into hiring their picks. But one person has loomed over all of that. His name is Elon Musk. Oh, my. Multiple sources tell me tonight that Musk has been seen at Mar A Lago nearly every single day since Donald Trump won. Oh, no. Dining with him on the patio at times. Today they were seen on the golf course together. Musk has been in the room when world leaders have called Trump. And tonight we've learned he's also weighing in on staffing decisions, making clear his preference for certain roles, even publicly. Tonight, Elon Musk is backing Florida Senator Rick Scott as the next leader of the Republican conference to replace Mitch McConnell, which he didn't. While Musk himself is still expected to take any kind of formal position inside Trump's administration, given how complicated it would be with his companies. What's becoming clearer tonight is that he doesn't really need to, with one source telling me Elon Musk is having just as much influence from the outside. Wow. How bad is that? The. The. The Edison of our time is trying to help the President recreate the golden era that Edison benefited from, and so did all of us there. Wow, that's a problem. Not Elon Musk. Not a guy who I disagree with a lot on some things and agree with a lot on some things. Probably one of the more reasonable billionaires out there. Yeah. Sucks that. I'm glad he's there. I'm glad he's there. And it's not being hidden. Donald Trump is not having secret meetings. You know, it's open for everybody to see. He shouldn't be ashamed of that relationship. And Elon Musk, I mean, he just doesn't care. And neither does Donald Trump. Glenn Beck. You know what is a really great feeling? Talking a bunch of crap to the guys about being a great shot and then actually being a great shot. It requires practice and a lot of it. And that can get expensive if you're having to use ammunition all the time and go to the shooting range. But it's worth it, you know, to show off the guys. I'm just saying it's expensive, but worth it. The good news is with Mantis X, you can cut out a lot of the expense and the time at the gun range as well. It's a high tech, easy to use system used widely first by the marines and now the entire military. And it helps you improve your shooting quickly. You attach it to your firearm and you connect it with an app on your smartphone or your tablet via Bluetooth. Then wherever you're, you know, firing actual rounds or you're dry firing, it will give you instant feedback on what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, and how to correct your technique. 94% of shooters improve within 20 minutes of using Mantis. It is revolutionary. Be a responsible gun owner. Increase your competence and your confidence today. Mantisex.com that's mantisex.com.

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. There are so many good things that have happened. We have some good appointments going on. We, I think have, we've restored our confidence in the election process. I mean, unless you listen to these kooks on the other side that are now just making stuff up. We had enough Republicans there and they had enough Democrats there with attorneys to be able to stop any cheating. Either way, it's not the best system, but at least we have confidence in the system. I think that is fantastic. We also learned how to play the game a little better. You know, we sucked at getting the vote out. Not anymore. Moms for Liberty is one of those organizations that really worked miracles. Tina Daskovich is with us now. She's the co founder of Moms for Liberty. Hi, Tina.

[Tina Descovich]

Good morning, Glenn.

[Glenn Beck]

How are you?

[Tina Descovich]

I'm fabulous. How are you?

[Glenn Beck]

I'm really good. You've been spending some time down in Mar a Lago.

[Tina Descovich]

Yes, I'll be there again this week.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. And how is the president?

[Tina Descovich]

You know, he's fabulous.

[Glenn Beck]

I know, I know. So let's talk a little bit about the election wins that you guys help come true.

[Tina Descovich]

Yeah, it's, it's really remarkable. You know, Moms for Liberty, most of us just moms haven't really been involved in politics before or elections. And so we took a big Risk this year, I would say, and invested in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin. And we put the money behind our moms. And to see what they could do, we targeted 200,000 moms in each state that aren't really voting. They voted maybe once, maybe not at all in the last four years. And we spent six months courting them, sending them videos and information on the Title IX rewrite on things going on in their local school districts that would enrage any parent that's paying attention. And then for, you know, the last two months before the election, we work to turn them out. And the results so far are remarkable. It's almost shocking. For example, in Georgia, they broke records, I think, with 73% voter turnout overall. And our early vote turnout alone of those 200,000 moms was 75%. So we don't even have a day of election results yet. So we know we activated brand new voters across all four states. It's remarkable.

[Glenn Beck]

So you invested $3 million in your get out the vote effort just in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin. Which state do you think you had the bigger impact in or were you worried most about?

[Tina Descovich]

I think we had the biggest impact in probably two states. I would say Georgia, and I'd say Georgia and North Carolina, Arizona being very close. In third place, Wisconsin. It's still hard to gauge. There wasn't as long of an early voting period and a male voting period. And so we still beat the state average before election day even started with our early voting, but it was down by 40. You know, I think 46%. We had our of our non voters, plus their voter records in Wisconsin are terrible people. We know people that left the state three years ago that were still registered there actively to vote while registered in other states. And so it's a little harder to track in Wisconsin.

[Glenn Beck]

So tell me your feeling on Trump actually getting rid of the Department of Education.

[Tina Descovich]

We're pretty excited around here. You know, Moms for Liberty was founded to get education back, front and center in the conversation, both locally and nationally. You know, year after year, we were watching presidential debates where education wasn't even discussed. And, you know, it's been in decline since the Department of Education was created. You know, 2/3 of American kids can't read on grade level. Lowest math and reading scores in the history of the United States. And so the only solution is to dismantle the Department of Education. If you're watching on X and other places, the President is putting out his videos directly speaking to the American people, saying it's time to dismantle it and put education. I do want to say Glenn though, I was even at church on Sunday and people were pulling, oh, he can't really dismantle the Department of Education. What will kids do? What about education? I'm like, no, no, no, you don't understand. It belongs with the states, it belongs locally, it belongs with the parents. And so I think we have to educate America on what this really means. It is a good thing for our country and our kids.

[Glenn Beck]

So let me give you something from the Washington Post in 1978, okay? A department of Education was the op ed with a question mark. It didn't exactly come as an earth shaking surprise that President Carter last Friday asked Congress to create a Department of Education. The creation of such a department separate from Hugh Hew was explicit Carter campaign pledge, blah blah blah. It goes into all of this stuff and it said, let's go back for a moment to the argument about zooming into the stratosphere budget. After all, the same argument can be made about the various armed services that were gathered into the defense apart department. They also talk about the Labor Department, the Commerce Department. We don't cite the labor and Commerce Departments casually. To the extent that they are basically one constituency organizations of government, they provide another cautionary note. One of the principal risks of creating a creature of its clientele, the clientele would not necessarily be the school children and their parents affected by the federal government's education programs. Much more probably would be the National Education association, the organizations of teachers and school administrators who already exert a great deal of influence on education policy in Washington. In a way, this would be giving them their own department. So here's the Washington Post in 1978 saying, this is going to create a problem with the labor unions. They're going to take over and this is only to benefit them, not the kids. Now the Washington Post would say the opposite. But what they predicted back then came true 100%.

[Tina Descovich]

Just look at the photographs of Randy Weingarten and other teachers union leaders at the White House all the time hugging the neck of Jill Biden and Joe Biden. They are fierce allies. 99% of the funds that they donate to candidates go to Democrats coming out of the nea. You know, you can track all of that. It's really disgusting. It is a department of the teachers union and it's not acceptable. I mean, like I said, you know, kids can't read, kids can't do math and it's time to dismantle it and return it where it needs to go.

[Glenn Beck]

So you've decided as Moms for Liberty to launch your own book series and try to get these into the schools. Your first one launches this week and it's Libby justice goes to Williamsburg. Tell me about it.

[Tina Descovich]

Oh, we are so excited. So Tiffany, my co founder, her last name is justice and so Liberty justice is the perfect name for our main character. Her brother is Link Lincoln. We named him after my first grandson. His name is Lincoln. And these two go on adventures. And Glenn, we need quality literature are so bad for our children. And the first one they go to is Williamsburg, Virginia and she learns how to public speak from Patrick Henry and Gowan pamphlet. And if you don't know who he is, you need to buy our book because he's a historical figure right there in Virginia. Also, we are very excited. We're hoping this will be a series of many books. And Libby and Link travel around with their family to other historical sites and learn about the patriots and the founders of our country and have respect for them as the heroes that they are.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, in that I'm, I'm calling them the. The Trump fireside chats where he's explaining everything that he is going to do. He talks about this, that we have to bring under control our education system. So we learn about our founding again. We learn about the principles of who we were, not just all this DEI crap that's gotta go. I think we're. I think we are entering a new golden age of America if we remain calm and well thought out and well prepared for what the left is going.

[Tina Descovich]

To do and we stay focused on the things that are important. Don't get, as my mom would say, too big for our britches. Yes. You know, it's important that we stay focused on God and our country and our families and don't let let power or success or control of all three branches of government go to our head. I'm optimistically cautious, but I think it's important that we put the important things first.

[Glenn Beck]

Tina, thank you so much. God bless you.

[Tina Descovich]

Thank you, Glenn.

[Glenn Beck]

Sign up at Glenn Beckham, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad you're here. I want to play a piece of audio here. This is open. Oprah denying she's been paid by the Kamala campaign. Listen.

[Oprah Winfrey]

Hey, Oprah, good morning.

[Glenn Beck]

How are you, darling?

[Oprah Winfrey]

You're looking very good.

[Stu Burguiere]

How do you think the election went? Not talking about the election.

[Oprah Winfrey]

Oh, is it true that they paid.

[Glenn Beck]

You a million dollars for the endorsement for Kamala?

[Stu Burguiere]

Not true.

[Glenn Beck]

Not true. Okay.

[Stu Burguiere]

I was paid nothing ever.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay, so she was paid. She looks great.

[Stu Burguiere]

He looks like, I think most people look like when they just rolled out of bed and don't expect a camera on their face.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. It's kind of really unfair to do this. Totally. But so. So she was just asked, were you paid? Because it looks as though Harpo was paid $1 million to produce that, that crappy thing that did nothing. And I don't know, I'm not an attorney, but she might have had to have been paid. So if she hasn't been paid, well, then you might. Well, it might be a contribution in kind.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. So the way that campaign finance law works, it's not her saying you need to pay me a million dollars for an appearance, supposedly. At least the accusation is that her company produced it. And you might say, well, they should have just taken $0 if they really cared. But they can't take $0. They supposedly have to charge a market rate for what they're doing, because if not, then it's essentially a donation Every campaign would find ways around this. You can only give a certain amount to a campaign. Well, what if I give you a stadium for free? I own a stadium. I'm giving you a stadium for free. Well, that would be a donation to the campaign. They're getting something that should cost them money. That doesn't. So in theory, if she actually produced this event, she would. Would need to charge. Now, I don't know. Does she need to charge a million dollars? Maybe she could have charged less. The other side of this too is Oprah's a billionaire. Does she really care about a million dollar payment? I think she probably donated a fortune to super PACs. Probably much more than a million dollars. So I don't know. I'm not saying that these people aren't selfish and terrible in many, many ways, but it seems odd that she would do that. It seems like, yeah, because she did.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm. I mean, she just didn't. She doesn't need the money.

[Stu Burguiere]

No, she's got plenty of cash.

[Glenn Beck]

Now there's something interesting that I found that, you know, they blew a billion six. They're now saying it was a billion six.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh wow, you're saying on the campaign.

[Glenn Beck]

Uh huh. A billion six in what, four months? Yeah. So that's what they had in the Harris Victory Fund. It's all gone. They're still missing 20 million. They're in the whole 20 million. And they're sending an email to donors now. And listen to this. I think this is hysterical. Is there anything we can say to convince you to make a contribution to support the Harris Fight Fund program today? Does that not sound desperate? Is there anything we can say to you?

[Stu Burguiere]

Fundraising emails are pathetic.

[Glenn Beck]

First and foremost, we want to acknowledge the fear, confusion and sadness many of you are feeling at this moment. But would you give a minimum of $50? But what if we told you that as you read this, there are U.S. senate and House races that are either too close to call or within the margin of recounts for certain legal challenges? What if we told you that they all need our help to get across the finish line? And what if we told you that your support today would help make sure we succeed and count every vote in these final races? They're still lying. They're trying to make up the $20 million and they don't have it. Remember the last time in 2016? No, sorry, 2012, Obama went into the hole. And why did the DNC suddenly throw their weight behind Hillary instead of Bernie? Because the Clintons bailed them out with like $20 million. The Clintons gave it to them. So she had, she had them in her control. Now they're 20 million in the. After $1.6 billion. And the nerve of the people on the left, they're saying, Donald Trump, he's got all this money left over. You can't we. We got out that. Because he's just going to give it to all of his friends. What? He's going to give it to. No, that's what you do. That's what you do. Just. They're just projecting. They said that about the green energy stuff too. We've got to spend this quickly. Otherwise he'll just assign all of this money and give it to his pals again. That's what you do.

[Stu Burguiere]

How about not spending it?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, how about that?

[Stu Burguiere]

We're multiple trillions of dollars in debt.

[Glenn Beck]

Apply it right to the debt.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, that's one way to do it. Right? Of course, a lot of this money probably was just printed. You'd be just returning it to whoever created.

[Glenn Beck]

To the incinerator.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. But it would be better. That's true. A lot of these programs would just be better off if you just threw them in the incinerator. You just threw the money in the incinerator rather than locking in these programs for years and years and years and years and years. Which is an incredible admission because at the end of the day, these programs do basically no good. And then we get locked into them and have to keep spending at those levels. Which brings me back to my skepticism on this government.

[Glenn Beck]

What if we told you that Mussolini was coming back from the dead and was going to be his new vice vice president? Uh, oh, would you donate then the Glenn Beck program?
