Glenn Beck
So I was with my daughter, moving into her apartment, and I gave her the burner launcher, went over it. This is, this is the tear gas, this is the pepper, blah, blah, blah. And she looked at me like, dad, nothing is going to happen. I'm like, oh, no, I know. Keep it in your purse. And when you come up to the ranch, you know, in a couple of weeks, guess what we're doing all weekend? Firing that thing. So I know you're safe. You want it. You want dad to pay for your cute little apartment? Dad requires you to carry the burner launcher, period. Yes, dad. So anyway, here's the thing. Burn a launcher. I carry it. I think it is the best thing next to a gun. I mean, a gun is the ultimate security, but it also, you pay the ultimate price. You kill somebody because you never point a gun at somebody unless you intend on killing them. You, you kill them, you're in court. Everything else, when it might be solved with a burner launcher. Look, some things call for a gun. Most would call for a burner launcher. By r n a.com Glenn check this out. Please, just check it out.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Well, I'm trying to decide, if I were in the press today, how would I handle the news coverage today on Donald Trump and all the world leaders? One I guess I could run with a headline. Donald Trump is a fascist. He's forced all of the world leaders to come and bow to his feet. I could also say Trump. Let's say they just leave, you know, and they don't have a deal. But progress is. See, I told you he would never get it done. I mean, this. The guy can't win. And I'm so sick and tired of it. Can we just talk about what actually is happening and if he gets a peace deal done, not today, but in a couple of weeks, if this leads to peace, give him the Nobel prize. If it doesn't lead to peace. He tried. And can we please just move on with our lives? Now let's talk about what actually happened over the weekend because it was stunning. And what is happening today, I think is even more stunning. Like him or hate him, the world is coming to him because it seems as though he's making progress on this. We'll talk about that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor is Leaffilter. Ever notice how every gutter cleaning starts the same way? You tell yourself, gonna knock this out in an hour. You think it's easy. Then the ladder starts to wobble a bit. You scoop something out that looks like it belongs in a swamp, and you start wondering, why did I buy a two story house? And the next thing you know, it's dark, you're soaked, and your neighbor is watching you and wondering, should I call for an ambulance or just film this for YouTube? I'm not really sure. Leaffilter takes the whole circus out of your life. One installation, you never have to deal with the lad, the swamp creatures, or the neighbor with the camera ever again. Water flows through debris, stays out, you get your Saturday back. Let's face it, you didn't buy your house to spend your weekends cleaning gutters. You bought it to live life. Leaffilter.

Well, let's say hello to stupid gear. Hello, Stu.
- [05:24]
Stu
Let's do that. Hi, Stu. How are you?
- [05:27]
Glenn Beck
Ah, he's great. I hear he had a great weekend and that's pretty much all we care about. And then we have Jason Buttrell here who is our chief researcher and. And travel companion. Lately he's almost like a. A Viking cheerleader for Me lately.
- [05:45]
Jason Buttrell
Let's not go that far. Come on.
- [05:47]
Glenn Beck
He's off to the side. You go, go. Just keep going. Stu, I'd love to hear, I've been waiting to hear your response to what's happening with Donald Trump and Putin. And then, then we'll get into the meeting that's gonna go today. But what was your take on Putin in Alaska?
- [06:05]
Stu
Can I start with the media?
- [06:09]
Glenn Beck
Sure.
- [06:10]
Stu
Before the meeting, the take from the media that I received for every single hour until we got to the meeting was that Donald Trump loves dictators, loves Putin, is being taken by Putin, is going to give Putin whatever he desires and we're gonna make some terrible deal that is going to show the American way is gone. He's just a sort of a fully owned subsidiary of Mother Russia. Right, sure. So then they come out and he has the press conference and Putin says, we have a deal. And then Trump says, well, we don't have a deal until we have a deal. And goes through multiple times during his. While he's very complimentary to Putin as both sides were. Goes through several times where he specifically points out that we do not have a deal. Then I go back to the coverage I'm listening to. I don't know, one of the, maybe it was cnn, one of the, you know, cable news networks doing this.
- [07:14]
Glenn Beck
Doesn't matter. One of the things that nobody watches anymore. Yes, go ahead.
- [07:17]
Stu
And they are immediately, and have immediately switched their position to can you believe this? Trump organized this big meeting with Putin and then couldn't get a deal done. It's a failure. We don't know what's gonna come out of this. We can say he failed, he wanted to get a deal, he didn't get a deal. And it's like, you can't have both of those positions. You can't say he's gonna get a deal no matter what. Cuz he loves dictators and he loves Putin. He's gonna give him everything, he's gonna hand over all of Ukraine. And then the second that doesn't happen, you switch to the exact opposite position, which is he didn't give enough, he didn't know how to negotiate the deal, he didn't come up with the deal. You can't have both of those positions. And the most frustrating part about this is at some point in the next six months there will be another story which makes them take the first position again as if it didn't already completely fail. And then they will not acknowledge any of the switches that they've made. It's Infuriating to me.
- [08:19]
Glenn Beck
I am so glad to hear you say. Because that was the. That was the biggest thing to me. The guy cannot win. No matter what happens, no matter what happened. Nobody could say one nice thing about anything. Did you hear the argument about the red carpet? He rolled out the red carpet for Vladimir Putin. Well, we didn't have a green one. Okay. We didn't have one of another color. I'm sorry. Which carpet would you like to use? We have one. It's red. I mean, I just cannot take all of this and, you know, to say that Vladimir Putin, he won on the world stage. Go ahead. Go ahead, Vlad. Use those videos of you and Donald Trump walking down the red carpet. It looked like you and Dorothy. You know what I mean? And you were a munchkin, and Donald Trump was Dorothy. She. He looks like a giant compared to Vladimir Putin. And then I just. I know everybody has played. This is. It was just so satisfying. Could we please play the B2 bomber flyover? I mean, I just. This. And, you know, Donald Trump planned every bit of this. Every bit of this was under his direction. Play the B2 bomber. So there they are walking on that red carpet, and here they come screaming across the sky. Now, in my head, this is how I. This is how I see this. Donald Trump's plan in this whole thing. He's like, yeah, and I want the podium there. We're going to be walking from the plane to the podium. And at that moment, before we get to the podium, I want that B2 bomber. Is a B1. B, B2. B2. I want that B2 bomber just flying right over our head. And, you know, the military was like, oh, thank you, Mr. President. Yes, we can do that. Uh, and Putin kind of stumbles a little bit and then looks up at it. I mean, you know, it's cool. He knows he's not being bombed. But if that wasn't. If that wasn't a. By the way, welcome to Alaska. You're on our territory. Did you also notice what the podium said at the bottom? Alaska, 2025. Not the U.S. not, you know, bilateral meeting, nothing. Alaska, 2025 in red, white and blue. I don't think Putin won on this one. Now, here's Putin in the meeting. Here's Trump and Putin. Putin teasing an end to the conflict in Ukraine. Cut to me and President Trump have.

Marissa Stride
And have every reason to believe that moving down this path, we can come. And the sooner the better. To the end of the conflict in Ukraine. Thank you. Thank you.
- [11:18]
Donald Trump
Well, thank you very much.
- [11:20]
Glenn Beck
Trump follows. It would cut three, please.
- [11:23]
Donald Trump
I believe we had a very productive meeting. There were many, many points that we agreed on. Most of them I would say, a couple of big ones that we haven't quite got there, but we've made some headway. So there's no deal until there's a deal. I will call up NATO in a little while. I will call up the various people that I think are appropriate, and I'll, of course, call up President Zelensky and tell him about today's meeting. It's ult, ultimately up to them. They're going to have to agree with what Marco and Steve and some of the great people from the Trump administration who've come here, Scott and John Radcliffe, thank you very much.
- [12:08]
Glenn Beck
First of all, can I just say, you know, he got on the plane and in the middle of the night, he's calling the world leaders. After all of this, he's calling the world leaders. I'm tired just watching the guy. Can anyone else give him credit for just, he's like a nuclear power plant. The guy never, ever stops. I've never seen a president work this hard. I mean, I know other presidents, and I'll give it to, you know, Barack Obama and everything else, but I have never. And if you're honest and you don't, you don't vote the same way I do, but you're honest, you would say the same thing. I've never seen anyone go this hard all the time. He doesn't seem to sleep. So he gets on the plane and he starts calling the world leaders. Now today, Germany, Maloney, prime minister, from Italy, France, England's prime minister. Who else is coming in? And Zelensky, I. Has anybody ever seen that happen before? The President of the United States says, hey, got by. By the way, guys, I think we should all meet at the White House. Come to my, come to my house. We're going to have a little meeting and they all show up. I mean, again, you have to just, if you're honest, recognize the history here. This is historic. I have never, maybe since fdr. I have never seen the United States call world leaders together and say, hey, we all have to meet the U.N. i can see them all meeting at the U.N. but this is the United States taking her position in the world back. This is the United States saying, yeah, we, we don't follow anybody else. We don't follow the U.N. we don't need the U.N. we don'T need anything else. We're the leader in the world and we're taking the leadership position. So why don't we all get together now? There's this, the press again saying, well, you know why they're all coming? Because he's gonna be a bully on Zelensky. Oh, God, would you shut up? It is, honestly, it is like the press. It's as if we hired Mrs. Olson's third grade class to be the press. The, the, the charges are so infantile over and over and over again that I just can't take it. So what does he say now? It was interesting to hear what he just said in that clip where he said, we've come up with some things. We don't have a solid deal yet, but we've come up with some things that if we can get him done, would be very, very good towards peace. One of those things, and I think it was. Was it Besson, who was it that said that we have an Article 5 like agreement? Witkoff. So Witkoff was on, I don't know, one of the Sunday shows and he said, we have an Article 5 like agreement. Well, that is game changing. Let me just explain what Article 5 means. Article 5, in case you don't know, Article 5 is part of the UN or, sorry, the NATO treaty. And that's the part of the treaty that says an attack on one is an attack on all. That's the reason why Russia does not want Ukraine to be part of NATO, because if there's ever a skirmish at the border and Russia attacks, that means it's world war automatically. Now, we've never had to invoke Article 5. I don't know at this point if Article 5 means all that much, means what it used to mean, but at least it is an official treaty. This is why Putin did not want NATO there, because it's a gateway right into Russia for NATO. So he's like, no, NATO countries. I want to buffer between NATO and Russia. If Donald Trump did indeed get Putin to agree to Article 5, that means the peace is guaranteed by us. You know, this last five years, and then all of a sudden there's war. We have this Article 5 hanging around our necks. I'm not thrilled about that. But that is a huge concession that everyone should recognize if, if Putin gave that up. That's enormous. Enormous. Here's my guess on what Donald Trump has. He's given. He said, you have to accept an article 5. I'm going to try to convince them to say Crimea is over. Okay? And, you know, except for Israel, this is the way the world works. You win something in war and they take it, and then it's yours. It's yours. The winner gets that land. Only the United States has given the land back that we have conquered because we're not a conquering nation. Russia is a conquering nation. Okay? They won that in the war. Barack Obama did nothing. That's over. Was it mistake? Yes. You want to complain? Don't complain to Donald Trump. Call Barack Obama. So I think that's off the table. And the Donbas area? The Donbas area is right now. And if you listen to them, what Putin has been saying is he wants all of this, all the way into Crimea, into Kiev. He wants all this territory. But if you listen to the language now from both sides, what Putin and Zelensky are both saying now, which is new, is maybe just the occupied territory goes to Russia. So not anything new, not anything in dispute, just where they have their troops and it's occupied. That's about half of the Donbas reason, correct, Jason? Yes, about half. So that's about half, which would be the buffer zone that Putin has been wanting. He wants a buffer zone between NATO Article 5 and. And Russia. So you give him that, the rest of it goes to Ukraine. It's a reasonable ending to this thing. Now, we could just go with the press and say that's either too much for Russia or not enough for Ukraine, or, you know, we have to have all of it back. None of those things are going to work, which means you're just going to have more and more war. Do you know that there were 20,000 Russians? 20,000 Russians, according to the US that were killed last month? 20,000 people died. So if you remember, Vietnam was what, 55,000 people died? 55,000. 20 last month. I don't know. I think it might be in the best interest of all of us as humans to end this war if we can come up with a reasonable thing that both sides agree to. But both sides are going to have to give stuff up. Pray for peace. Pray for peace. This is the closest we've been on this one for a while. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor, then we'll come back more on this. I mean, this is pretty much what we're going to be talking about all day today. Let me tell you about rough greens. Unfortunately, dogs, especially as they start to get older, are far more susceptible to cancer than we are. One of the biggest reasons is this stuff we're putting in their bowls. You know, our dogs were healthier when they would eat table Scraps. I find that hard to believe, but it's true. They were healthier when we would feed them what, what we were eating. Now we give them this dog food that has been packaged, it has been processed, it's been cooked at such high temperatures so it can last on a shelf for two years and it's not healthy for you. You would never feed that to your child, ever. You wouldn't feed it to yourself. You wouldn't feed that to somebody you don't like. Why would you feed that to your dog? It's dead. What you have to do, the basic is put all of the live nutrients back in that have been lost through the high heat processing. You need the natural enzymes, the vitamins, you need the probiotics. Rough greens is not a dog food. It's that bridge that helps take and put everything in that has been cooked out of all of your dog's food. Get a free Jumpstart trial bag for your dog today.

Jason Buttrell
Listeners, critics of President Trump will say.
- [21:56]
Glenn Beck
The pomp and circumstances, pomp and circumstance, the red carpet, the warm handshake that President Trump simply lost, that, that Putin gained there just by being on the.
- [22:08]
Stu
World stage and walking down a red.
- [22:10]
Jason Buttrell
Carpet with the president.
- [22:11]
Glenn Beck
Your reaction to that?
- [22:12]
Marco Rubio
Well, I mean, critics of President Trump are always going to find something to criticize. You don't even pay attention to it anymore. But I will tell you this. Putin is already on the world stage. He's already on the world stage. The guy's conducting a full scale war in Ukraine. He's already on the world stage. He has the world's largest tactical nuclear arsenal in the world and the second largest strategic nuclear arsenal in the world. He's already on the world stage. When I hear people say that, oh, it elevates them. Well, all we do is talk about Putin all the time. All the media has done is talk about Putin all the time for the last four or five years. That doesn't mean he's right about the war. That doesn't mean he's justified about the war. Put all that aside. It means you're not going to have a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. You're not going to end a war between Russia and Ukraine without dealing with Putin. That's not. That's just common sense. I shouldn't even have to say it so people can say whatever they want. Ultimately, at the end of the day, we have to get the Russian side to agree to things that they don't want to agree to if we're going to have peace. If not, there'll just be a war. They'll keep killing each other and life will go on in America and in the rest of the world, but not for Ukraine.

Glenn Beck
Can I tell you something? We're gonna continue our conversation in a minute, but when did little Marco become this guy? He is doing an incredible job. I am stunned by Marco Rubio every time I see him. I'm like, wow, look at this guy go. This is Glenn Beck. All right, our, our sponsor this half hour is Prageru. So Prager U is upstairs right now. They're preparing for another shoot. I shot all day yesterday. We're doing something for Prageru on history for, for the schools all across America. And it's really, really good stuff, using original articles, original artifacts, but they've just done a, an amazing job. I am so impressed with Prageru and here's one reason why. My kids don't listen to me. My kids don't listen to me. My kids listen to Prageru, Mike. My kids will come to me and go, dad, did you know? And I'm like, yeah, I helped Prageru on that one. Yeah, so I know about that one. Our kids watch this stuff. They, it is, it is so solid. Now this is a non profit organization. You want to make an impact on the next generation.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. This is a really hard road to navigate because I am not a Putin apologist. I think Putin is an absolutely evil guy. No ifs, ands or buts. I think he's a guy who looks at the Cold War and says, wow, that ended the wrong way. I mean, he has said those words. He believes in, you know, the former Soviet state. He is a dictator, he is bloodthirsty, he is a killer. So I want to make sure that everything that needs to be said about Vladimir Putin is said because he is, you know, is a rattlesnake a good pet? The answer is no. That's what everybody says. The actual answer is yes. As long as you never forget it's a rattlesnake. The minute you start treating it as a pet, like a puppy dog, you're dead. So is Putin somebody you can negotiate with? Yes, as long as you always remember he's Vladimir Putin. But I think. Well, Jason, give me your view on Vladimir Putin and, and this whole situation.
- [26:35]
Jason Buttrell
Vladimir Putin, I believe, is. I mean, I agree with you. I think that it's very rare in the world to have someone that sees the interests of their country and they're willing to take certain steps to ensure that their country is taken care of. And what I mean by that is willing to just invade a country over it. Willing to, you know, be a bloodthirsty killer over it.
- [26:59]
Glenn Beck
That.
- [27:00]
Jason Buttrell
That's rare. It's even more rare to have the cartoon villain as a leader like Kim Jong Un. Kim Jong Un is a total cartoon character.
- [27:10]
Glenn Beck
Yes.
- [27:10]
Jason Buttrell
It's also very rare for a country to ignore geopolitical laws and rules like a Hitler and go off and just try and, you know, conquer an entire continent. That is also very rare. Most of the people fall in line of someone like, I don't know, not sure the type of leader basically pick 90% of the leaders out there. They're willing to go so far. Putin is willing to go those extra few steps, but he's not a cartoon character. So what you can always expect from Vladimir Putin is he is willing to do the things to ensure the safety of his country from, however, him and him, which is also a dictatorial regime.
- [27:50]
Glenn Beck
Regime. Correct.
- [27:51]
Jason Buttrell
Willing to correct. So that. That's you. There's ways that you can predict how this is going to go based off of those rules.
- [27:58]
Glenn Beck
So that's always. When you're, when you're looking at this, how do you think this is going to go? What do you think we end up with, if anything?
- [28:07]
Jason Buttrell
So I think that Vladimir Putin initially wanted to just take all of Ukraine because that solved most of their issues.
- [28:13]
Glenn Beck
Yes. That.
- [28:14]
Jason Buttrell
That keeps NATO out. That keeps. If you look at a map, you know, the border of Ukraine and Russia is just a couple hundred Miles from Moscow. So for us, in our own perspective, that's like accepting nuclear weapons in Havana.
- [28:27]
Glenn Beck
No, it's like New Jersey.
- [28:30]
Jason Buttrell
Exactly.
- [28:31]
Glenn Beck
Right, Right.
- [28:32]
Jason Buttrell
So it was a geopolitical, you know, paramount for him to take Ukraine. He failed at that. So now what he's looking at, I need some kind of buffer so armies can't go through Ukraine, NATO armies can't go through Ukraine and get to Moscow in an hour. He's got to do that. So what he's building here, I think, is that now he's established a buffer. Now what he's looking for is an excuse to give to his people. Look, he'll say the special military operation, that's what he loves to call succeeded. We have our buffer zone. I can claim victory for you, his people. Now, what the. He also has to leave open for the Europeans and for Ukraine is a way to also say, we won, we stopped him. He did not take Ukraine. If both sides can do that. And I think we're getting hints that we're getting close to that. The Article 5, like, yes, security, if it's real. Yes, it's real. That's big.
- [29:25]
Glenn Beck
Yes.
- [29:26]
Jason Buttrell
Zelensky saying you can't have territory that you haven't already conquered, as you pointed out. Yes, that's an interesting hint. That means that he might be willing to accept Crimea going their way and other those areas providing that buffer zone needs.
- [29:38]
Glenn Beck
And there is a new poll out that shows from Ukraine that the Ukrainians don't want to give any land back. But, Stu, who is so good at reading polls, that's not exactly what it says, is it?
- [29:51]
Stu
Yeah, the poll actually is. They don't want to give up more land than has already been occupied. That's where the 78% comes in. And I think that's going to be a problem because, I mean, Putin seems to want additional land, including, like these two cities that are, you know, central to the defense of Ukraine. So that is going to be a real problem in the negotiations, whether they.
- [30:15]
Glenn Beck
Don'T think so if, if they're not occupied, that I think that's where Trump is trying to push them.
- [30:23]
Stu
I agree.
- [30:24]
Glenn Beck
Keep the land you already have occupied.
- [30:27]
Stu
And that's where Trump is trying to push him, I think.
- [30:30]
Glenn Beck
And I think that's where the people is.
- [30:33]
Stu
I think the Ukraine. I think Ukraine would, you know, a lot of different parts of this negotiation have to go a specific way. But I think there's a world in which Ukraine accepts that the problem is, at least at this point, Russia seems to be asking for More than that, they seem to be asking for multiple cities and areas that they do not currently occupy. They want that entire Donbas region, which would include. I agree.
- [31:00]
Jason Buttrell
And that's that. That's absolutely what Putin wants. If you look at a map, he's. He wants the area from Bell.
- [31:05]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [31:05]
Jason Buttrell
Where you see Belarus and Ukraine connect.
- [31:07]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [31:08]
Jason Buttrell
He would love to have that area all the way down the coast of Crimea because that's the full buffer zone. That's what he's going to push for.
- [31:15]
Glenn Beck
Right. But I don't think that's reasonable to add. That's where Marco Rubio is. Like, everybody's going to have to give up something. And you know, I think if Ukraine can live with they conquered this land, they're in this land. And just, we're just drawing a line there. I think Putin should be willing to accept that it's not what he wants, but he would be willing to accept that because it does give him the buffer zone, does it not, if he just keeps the conquered land that he has now? Yes.
- [31:47]
Jason Buttrell
It's not the full buffer zone that he would like, but it is a buffer zone.
- [31:51]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Nobody is going to get everything that they want. And I think the polling shows that that is seemingly acceptable to the Ukrainian people, that if you don't, if you're occupying it right now, you got to keep that. We can live with that. And then Ukraine gets the Article 5, which is all they. Is what they said. That's what started this whole thing. They wanted protection from Russia and they wanted to join NATO. The reason why they wanted to join NATO is because they wanted the Article 5 protection. If Russia comes in, then that triggers NATO to come in and fight the war against Russia. That keeps them at bay. So Ukraine at a very high cost, gets that. Russia at a very high cost, gets most of what they want in the. In the buffer zone. That's a reasonable ending. Agree or disagree?
- [32:51]
Jason Buttrell
No, no, I agree. And it also sets. I mean, and this is far from over. So let's say there's some guarantees that last for five, 10, whatever years, how many ever years. Both sides are going to be looking to play the Chinese perspective on this. And I say Chinese perspective because if you look at how they treated Taiwan, the Chinese reluctantly gave up Taiwan and we were involved providing security guarantees.
- [33:11]
Glenn Beck
Correct.
- [33:12]
Jason Buttrell
Providing weapons, things like that. That's what. How both, both sides have to be looking to play the long game. You give this up, you make concessions. Now in the long run, the discussion is still open. Things may happen. You can do play Your little games, all that you can look towards maybe taking that back, that land in some way in the future, but this is what you accept now and set up this game of chess for longer. And now at least you're not losing 1.5 million people.
- [33:39]
Stu
Stu, first of all, two things. First, can we ask a question? Do you guys believe, are you confident in the idea that Vladimir Putin has accepted this pseudo article 5 opposition? I have not heard him say that, and until I hear. Because I've heard Trump officials say it, but I am skeptical that he's actually agreed to this. I just haven't heard until I hear him say it.
- [34:10]
Glenn Beck
So when I played. Could you play that Trump sound that we played Cut three, Listen to what he said.
- [34:17]
Donald Trump
We had a very productive meeting. There were many, many points that we agreed on, most of them, I would say a couple of big ones that we haven't quite got there, but we've made some stop.
- [34:30]
Glenn Beck
I think that's the Article 5 thing. We've. We've made a lot of headway. We have some things where we've made agreements and then we really made some headway. We haven't really gotten there yet. I think that's what he's talking about, is the article 5. And then 1 of his spokespeople come out and say, it's Article 5. We're willing to do the Article 5 thing because that's Trump speaking it into existence. He didn't say it with Vladimir Putin standing next to him, because they're still working on it. And I'm sure Vladimir Putin or somebody else is going, no, I'm not really sure about that. And, and so he has one of his, one of his people floated out there to see the reaction and speak it into existence, because I think that is if he can get that done, if he can get Russia to accept that. That's enormous. Enormous. Yeah, I'm of the opinion.
- [35:28]
Jason Buttrell
Yeah, it would be. And I'm of the opinion that Putin has agreed to that in some way, because Putin is very quick to put these things down, especially to his own people, especially if he thinks that he's going to lose public opinion within Russia with ordinary Russians, and he has not done that yet. So that's a huge signal to me. Plus, I think that, I personally think that line from Donald Trump is about territorial concessions. I think that is the major sticking point on this. And that's what he's going to have to go back and forth with the Europeans today and Zelinsky on what are you willing to concede territorially because that's.
- [36:00]
Glenn Beck
What you know enough about where everybody's going to come down. I mean, I'm sure Maloney is going to come down with Trump. Germany probably will come down with Trump.
- [36:15]
Jason Buttrell
No, probably not. It's very hard to predict on the European side because they have more skin in the game. I know on this it's very different argument with.
- [36:23]
Glenn Beck
But you get, if you can get the Article 5, that's what they've been wanting. Yeah. So I mean that, that, I mean that is such a huge concession. You know, it's weird because you know what the press is going to say. If, if he gives up land and we have the article 5 and he gets that deal done, the press is going to call him Hitler and Neville Chamberlain at the same time.
- [36:49]
Jason Buttrell
I don't know how that works, but.
- [36:51]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it's Hitler and Neville Chamberlain. How. But they will make that case. Back in just a second. Let me tell you about good ranchers. Every time you fire up the grill, you're making a choice. You're making a choice that where you can either support the billions of pounds of foreign meat that is coming into this country. Meat mysteriously stamped product of the U.S. in fact, we should talk to. Who would that be? Who runs the usda. Is that, is that under rfk? Because that's food safety. That should not be that. You should not be able to put that little flag on beef that is coming from elsewhere. You shouldn't be able to do it. But they do it anyway because it's a loophole. So you can't trust that that's coming from America. And the reason why is a you want to know exactly what's in your beef. You want to know that it is 100 born, raised and harvested here in the United States. Because that is really, really important. Not only because of the quality, but also because we have to have these ranchers and farmers. Why are we, so to speak, farming this out to other countries? It makes no sense. We have to have our own food supply. So here's what I would like to recommend that you, that you maybe do go to good ranchers. Not right now. Goodranchers.com See what everybody is talking about. See why this is a better deal for you. Shop American meat that you can trust. That's fish, that's seafood, all top quality.

Well, you can lock your doors, you can install cameras. You can install alarms and motion lights. But the most valuable part of your home isn't sitting outside for someone to break into. It is sitting inside a database, online, just waiting to be stolen. All cybercriminals need is a few keystrokes to forge your name and transfer your title. And suddenly, you're fighting to prove that the home you spent your entire life paying for is actually yours. And here's the part that catches most people off guard. It doesn't matter if you've paid off your mortgage or if you're still sending in that check every month. Honestly, you're more of a target if you've paid off your mortgage. To the scammers, it's just a piece of paper. And to you, it's your future. It's the financial legacy that you've worked your whole life to. Hopeful. Hand over one day to your kids. But imagine the sickening moment when you find out that someone else has filed a claim against your property. It's not just an inconvenience. It is a legal nightmare that can drain your savings, trash your credit, and put your family into limbo while you scramble to untangle everything. That's why protecting your home's title isn't about being paranoid. It's about being smart. And it's about recognizing that digital threats are just as real to the guy. Then the guy's going to break into your garage, maybe even more so, because the truth is, your home's title isn't locked. It is open. Unless you have home title lock.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. So I don't know if you saw this tweet that came out a few hours ago from Donald Trump. It just says Bella, B E L A. Now, a lot of people are saying I was just, you know, typo or whatever. I don't think. Because we are indeed members of the press. Members of the press. I don't think we can leave it there. I think we need to figure out what exactly he was doing there. You know what, Bella, what does that. What does he mean by that? Well, I went to work early today while you were still asleep. It's a given name of a Hungarian composer, Bella somebody or other. Bartok, I think he's a composer and maybe he was. Maybe he's making some. Something about Hungary and composers. I don't know. Uh, it also in some Slavic languages, bella means white. Now we getting a little closer. Mainstream media, uh, it's white in the feminine form, which. Look at his wife. Slavic, right? Feminine. Maybe he was, maybe this was secret code. Unleash the hounds. Let her write the letter and send that. I don't know Portuguese. It means beautiful. Now it could also be. Maybe he was. Maybe he was like belated. And then he stopped writing and he was like, no, you know what, I'm going to wait, we'll do that later. So maybe he's going to do belated. And maybe he was going to mention, you know who else is bla b ela Bela Lugosi. It might have been, hey, belated condolences on Bela Lugosi's death. And he just decided, you know, I'm just going to put B L A on there and everybody will figure it out. I'm just, I'm just saying. Where's the press on this one? Where's the press on this one? Stu, can we go back to that poll that you had just a few minutes ago? Sure. Where do they stand on Crimea? Where do the people in Ukraine stand on that?
- [42:52]
Stu
Well, I mean they are. The people of Ukraine are not excited about transfer of anything, making anything official.
- [42:59]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [42:59]
Stu
Like they like. So the poll shows that, okay, what we were talking about before, the idea that Russia would get lands they don't currently even occupy.
- [43:08]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [43:08]
Stu
That's what's what Putin wants. The Ukrainian people overwhelmingly opposed to that. 78 to 15. When it, when it opens up to what they do occupy, which would include Crimea and include these other regions, the lines of the war right now, official occupation, they are overwhelmingly still against, though less so 68 to 24. So they oppose officially recognizing Russia has these territories. When it comes down to whether they're okay with it de facto like not admitting that it's happened, but it kind of like the way Crimea is right now, essentially where Russia runs it. But they don't necessarily admit it, that they're pretty split on it's 48, 43. That seems to be the line they are at least as far as the people.
- [43:53]
Glenn Beck
That's a big nuance on that. And would Putin accept a non official agreement back. Let me tell you a little bit about Ammo Square. You remember the great ammo shortage of 2020. You go to stores all over the place and the ammo shelves were pretty much bare. There was nothing there.
- [44:09]
Stu
I remember that.
- [44:10]
Glenn Beck
Even the online options were wiped out still. You remember that?
- [44:14]
Stu
Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I mean, I remember going into major, like, gun stores and there would just be nothing. I mean, there was like, you know, just smatterings of things that you didn't need. It was impossible to get for a while. It's a little bit better now, but you can't just depend on that. You can't depend that it's always going to be there when you need it.
- [44:31]
Glenn Beck
You actually remember that. I shocked, really, you're the most unprepared guy I've ever seen in my life. Ammo Square is a company that can really help you stock up on ammo. Because Stu is right. God, I hate saying that. Yeah, and they can help you stock up. Over 100,000 members, stockpile ammo automatically since 2015. I'm one of them. You just sign up, pick your choice of ammo from over 70 different calibers, you set an auto buy budget and then they collect it and they ship it to you. When you're ready to have it shipped to you, go right now and check it out. It's ammo squared dot com. Sam.

Fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Well, there is a of lot, lot going on at the White House today. Leaders from all over Europe are meeting with the President. Are we close to a deal for peace with Ukraine and Russia? I pray and I would hope that every American is praying and not looking at this as a political thing. Look, if he can get it done, God bless him. I mean, even Hillary Clinton said, if he can get this done, I'll nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. No, I don't believe she actually meant that. But that's where we all should be. If we can get peace, we should all celebrate. This is a really big deal, but let's see what happens. We're a long way away, but we've made some huge strides in that direction. We'll talk about that and so much more coming up in the next 60 minutes. First, let me take 60 seconds and tell you about Patriot Mobile. If you've ever noticed how big mobile companies, companies talk a lot about coverage and unlimited this or premium that, but they never mention the part where your Money is going straight to supporting things that you never chose to fund yourself. I mean, this is just like the federal government. You know what I mean? You know, you're at a steak restaurant, you find out they use your credit card to pay for everybody else's salads. Wait a minute. I didn't, I didn't agree. What do you. What, you didn't agree with it, but you're still stuck with the bill. Patriot Mobile does things differently. You get the same great service on the same nationwide networks, but without subsidizing the agenda of people who think your values belong in the dustbin of history. They don't, and neither do you. With Patriot Mobile, the service is strong, the costs are really fair, and your money finally goes to a company that respects who you are and what you believe. And they tell you the things that they do, you know, as a 501C3 with the profits of their money. So they're really upfront switching is easier than ever. Activate minutes from the comfort of your home. Keep your number, keep your phone or upgrade. Time to make the switch today, go to patriot mobile.com Beck or call 972 Patriot 972 Patriot.

So I was thinking about this and doing some research on when has any country been asked to give land up that it won in a war? And you can say that it was their fault and everything else, but you want to make sure that you're very careful on punishment for those transgressions. Remember, the aggressor, really bad aggressor in World War I was Germany. And the world decided to punish Germany and Germans didn't like it. And that led right directly to World War II. I think without the Versailles Treaty being done the way it was done, we would have, we wouldn't have had World War II. We may not have ever seen Hitler rise to power. It'd be a good thing. But you also have to set a standard in saying, hey, bad guys, you don't win when you do these things. So this is a really tough balance. And. But there's only one country in particular in the history of the world that has faced this burden where the whole world is turning on and saying, you got to give this back. Back in 1967, it was Israel. They were surrounded, encircled, and threatened with destruction by every single neighbor. Every country in the region decided together they were going to attack on multiple fronts. Now, their intention was to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. But Israel not only survived, it turned the tide. In six days, it gained territory so dramatically that the map of the Middle east had to be withdrawn dramatically. They occupied huge swaths of territory in Jordan and in Egypt, all over the Middle East. All of a sudden, they had all this territory. And then something extraordinary happened. They said, and you don't see this, and Russia, listen carefully to this. You don't see this very often. They said, we don't want all this territory. We want to be left alone. And we really just want a few buffer zones. We don't need all of this land in Jordan. We don't need all of this land in Egypt. We just want to make sure that this can't happen to us again. Well, that's what Russia is saying now. Whether that's true with Vladimir Putin or not, that's up for you to decide. But what they're saying is they want just a buffer zone away from NATO. And what Ukraine is saying is we want to be part of NATO because we don't trust Russia, nor should they. So we don't. We want to have. We want NATO partnership. Basically, what they want is if Russia attacks us, then all of NATO, Europe and America need to go in and fight that war with them. That's what they really want. Well, Donald Trump, his, his allies came out this weekend and said they are very close to an Article 5 kind of agreement. Article 5 comes from the NATO charter, which means it was for Europe against Russia. Anybody who attacks a NATO country, it's an attack on all of us. And we all band together. Now this, does that happen? Well, kind of. It did after 9, 11. Not everybody was involved, but it wasn't, you know, it wasn't like it was intended to be. But that's fine. That's what, that's what Ukraine wants. What Russia says they want, whether it's true or not, I don't know. But what they say they want is a buffer zone. If, if Russia can give up and look instead at the Israeli example of voluntarily, they gave most of it back. The Sinai, Gaza and parts of the west bank, they, they wanted to keep as part of a buffer zone, but they were in there because it was a buffer zone to them. Okay, but land four times its own size, paid for in blood on an attack that they didn't do, others did to them. They gave all of that back in pursuit of peace. And they said, look, we don't, we're not here for more land. We just want our land and to be left alone and have the right to exist. Now, you've done this to us several times. So we want just exactly what, you know, Russia could say. We've been attacked by the west over and over again, and they come through this door of either Poland or now they're worried about Ukraine. So we want a buffer zone. Well, the world didn't give them that buffer zone. It's the disputed territories, the occupied territories, but that's why Israel wanted it. And then they gave everything else back. A nation smaller than New Jersey carved out just this little buffer zone, so they had a way to protect themselves in case this would ever happen again. Now, compare this with Russia and Ukraine. Crimea was taken in 2014, in. They invaded Ukraine outright in 2022. And they hold huge swaths of land under the occupation. So what's the path forward? Well, either continued bloodshed. And I just, I think it's important that we put this into perspective. 20,000 Russians, according to the US 20,000 Russians died last month. How long did the Vietnam War go on? That was a total of about 55,000Americans in one month. You're almost half of the entire Vietnam War. There's a lot of bloodshed, and a lot of bloodshed that is happening on the other side as well. How many have the Russians killed month after month after month? So to stop this, is there something we can look to from 1967? You know, a recognition of the reality on the ground, and then some hard choices on both sides, but anchor it all in peace. Marco Rubio said this weekend, and he is right, Peace demands sacrifice. And Israel proved that by returning Sinai to Egypt in exchange for recognition and an end to the hostilities. It wasn t perfect, it didn t solve every grievance, but it worked. And Egypt and Israel haven t gone to war in half a century. Again, it's messy, it's ugly, but we haven't had a war between Egypt and Israel in half a century. Survival outweighs pride. And here's the challenge for Russia and Ukraine. Both claim history in that deep, deep history in that area. Both claim injustice. And Ukraine, I think you have a much more solid claim on injustice against the Russians than they do the other way. But the question is not who's parchment? Who owns this land? Who has the oldest deed here? The question is, are you willing to trade land for more lives? Are you willing to give back or give up enough to stop the killing? And that's not just on the Ukraine side. That is also on the Russian side. No other country has done What Israel does. Nobody. No, there's no example like this. No other modern country has been attacked by multiple neighbors, survived, expanded, and then voluntarily gave all that land back, and then is still being judged for not giving all of it back. And the closest comparison is probably from 1971. India took some land from Pakistan in a war, and then they gave it back after World War II. We didn't occupy. We gave the land back. But neither one of those examples have the double standards that Israel has to live through. But if Russia and Ukraine are serious about ending the war, they might want to look to Sinai, they might want to look back, because that's the model. Not endless battles, not shifting borders by force, but the humility to give back what you can and the wisdom to keep only that in what you have to have for your own security. And then Russia has to do that, and Ukraine has to be willing to swallow that. They have lost some of these things, but it's in trade for their security. And if Donald Trump can get Russia to accept an Article 5, like security agreement, that in and of itself is miraculous. And we could actually all go home and say, well, avoided nuclear war on that, because remember where we were? Remember in 2022, Joe Biden was saying, this is nuclear war. If these things happen, this will be nuclear war. Remember how freaked out we all were? We were like, wait a minute, wait a minute. Nobody's been talking about nuclear war, you know, in 50 years. What do you, what do you mean, nuclear war? We could avoid that. I don't know who you voted for, nor do I care. I, I would hope that we are all praying for cooler heads to prevail, because this one now comes down to how many more innocent lives that are not involved in this, who are being drafted on both sides, being forced to fight this war on both sides. How many more people are we going to kill or allow being killed because of, because of what? Because of pride. I don't want to see Putin rewarded for anything that he did nothing. But war is war. You know, you don't, you know, and if you're willing to continue to fight, but Ukraine's not going to be able to win this war against Ukraine, I mean, against Russia. Would you agree with that? Jason? Jason, but Trill is with us. Would you agree? They're not, they're not able to fight unless we all get involved. And it's world war.

Jason Buttrell
That's the thing. Depending on how many people get pushed into this, there's some crazy developments in this war. Technological advances, Ukraine or drone Warfare has escalated out the roof on this. I mean, have you seen some of the videos coming from. And the crazy thing is Ukraine is actually leading, I think, in just ingenuity as far as, like, drone warfare. But you can watch videos on, on, on X right now that show some of these first person, you know, drones chasing down Russian soldiers across the battlefield. And it's, it's going back and forth. I don't, to answer your question, though, more specifically, no, it's basically a war of, you know, attrition and numbers. The Russians have more. And the only way that Ukraine can effectively over time win is if we get involved, other NATO countries get involved. That's where things spin out of control.
- [60:08]
Glenn Beck
And here's, here's another thing. While we're talking about new technology. You know, let me go back to the B2 bomber flying over Donald Trump and Putin. And everybody in the media was like, he's on the red carpet. And he saluted him with, you know, a flyover. No, no, that was intimidation. That was clearly intimidation. What was the message? Why, why did he say fly the B2 bomber? Back in 1940, Jack Northrop dreams up the flying Wing, and it's, it's radical. It has no tail. It was the YB49 and it was really futuristic. Now, the Germans were working on the flying wing as well, but nobody could get it to stabilize. And, you know, the testing, they killed it by 1950 because they just couldn't get it stabilized. Now, fast Forward to the 1980s under Ronald Reagan doing the same thing. Remember, this bomber came out in the 1980s. What else was happening in the 1980s? It was Ronald Reagan meeting with the leader of, of Russia and Gorbachev. And Ronald Reagan was playing the heavy. It's an evil empire and we're going to end it. And everybody's like, he's going to get us in a nuclear war. And he's like, would you calm down? I have a strategy here. Back in the 1980s, when that was going on, all of a sudden, Northrop Grumman, the, the aerospace company, they came up with the B2. Now, it was first flown for people to see in 1989, but we had it before then. Okay, Those things were always out before. It's a, it's a ufo. There's just like this flying wing flying. Well, why was this such a big deal? No one has been able to make a flying wing except us, okay? It's precision. It can drop those bombs in Iran and it can hit a bomb 50,000ft. It can Drop a bomb, and it will drop a bomb and hit the top of a Pepsi can. That's remarkable precision. Okay? And it's unseen with radar. It's untouchable. But here's the thing. It was a message to Putin. We dreamed it up in the 40s, we perfected it in the 80s, and still in 2025, not comes close. This is. This is who we are. Putin's radars didn't even blink. But I can tell you he felt the shadow of that wing. This is why that flyover was such a big deal. It is a perf. It was absolute proof America is in the leadership role again. We don't just lead, we dominate. From the vision to the victory, Sleep tight, world. The B2 is watching, and America is leading again. That was the message. All right, let me tell you about Lifelock.

Stu
What time today is when. I thought I heard the meeting was supposed to start. Obviously, that could be. Could be moved, and who knows? There's so many things with all these different leaders coming in and all of that, but that is the. That's what they were talking about for today.

Glenn Beck
Zelensky has come out and said, this is A historic decision. The United States is ready to take part in security guarantees for Ukraine. Security guarantees as a result of our joint work must really be very practical, delivering on protection on land, in the air and in the sea, and must be developed with Europe's participation. Since the territorial issue is so important, it should be discussed only by the leaders of Ukraine and Russia at the trilateral of Ukraine, United States and Russia. So far, Russia gives no sign that trilateral will happen. And if Russia refuses, the new sanctions must follow. So that's Zelensky's latest. And I don't know why. I mean, Trump has obviously, you know, remember when was the last time that the president met with Putin in a way like this?

So every financial commercial seems to start the same way. You're drowning in debt. But are you drowning or are you treading water? I mean, if you're treading water, that's really bad because when you're treading water, eventually you tire out and you drown. Paycheck after paycheck, it's just getting smaller and smaller. And so, and you're just, you're not getting ahead. That is just awful because you feel like you're never going to get to shore. And you're not.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Well, looking at the President's schedule, it looks like he's going to be a little busy today. He's got some photos he's got to take around 2 o' clock in the afternoon. It sounds like Biden's schedule. He first meets with Zelinsky, I think at one for one on one bilateral talks. Then he's going in and he greets the leaders in the state dining room. And then I think he takes some pictures with their families, et cetera, et cetera. And then they go into serious meetings about that around three o'clock in the afternoon. Of course, you'll get all of it covered on MSNBC later, later today.
- [69:03]
Stu
Well, I don't know if it'll be covered on msnbc. I guess today that might be true. That might be true, but soon it will no longer be true. Glenn. MSNBC is changing its name.
- [69:15]
Glenn Beck
They're changing their name.
- [69:17]
Stu
American Institute of msnbc. It's jarring to lose that close working relationship, which is how it started between Microsoft and NBC.
- [69:29]
Glenn Beck
Right? For Microsoft and NBC.
- [69:33]
Stu
Yes.
- [69:34]
Glenn Beck
And Microsoft has been out of this for a long time, haven't they?
- [69:37]
Stu
Yes, they've been out of it for a long time. But they kept the Ms. In there.
- [69:40]
Glenn Beck
Why?
- [69:41]
Stu
That I don't know. I can't explain many of the things they do.
- [69:45]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, right. Okay. All right. Okay.
- [69:47]
Stu
I think most people would be, you know, that wouldn't remember. It would be shocked to realize that Microsoft was once a big part of this. It was supposed to be, I think it was the first embrace of digital at that level. Right. Like it was a big deal at that time.
- [70:03]
Glenn Beck
There's nothing, there's nothing that says credibility more than the mainstream media and Bill Gates.
- [70:09]
Stu
Right.
- [70:10]
Glenn Beck
When you put those two things together, you know, you got something special. You really do.
- [70:14]
Stu
So, you know.
- [70:15]
Glenn Beck
So is NBC suing msnbc? Like we even can't have our name on that.
- [70:20]
Stu
They're spinning them off. So NBC is spinning off MSNBC into its own separate company. They're apparently hiring right now because they're losing access to the NBC News room. So they need to hire a whole new batch of horrible journalists that make a mockery of the profession to bring over there.
- [70:38]
Glenn Beck
When does this happen? When does this go through the official change?
- [70:42]
Stu
I don't know. This is the first date they're announcing the new name. Let's see if I can find when that actually happens. It launched, by the way, in 1996. In case you were wondering how long this thing's been around, it seems like it's been 1896 or 1796, but.
- [71:00]
Glenn Beck
So I don't actually had some credibility at the very beginning. Yeah, I think Lester Holt started on MSNBC and back in the 90s it.
- [71:10]
Stu
Was seen and it was still left leaning, but almost it's left leaning the way you'd expect every other piece of crap, you know, mainstream broadcast to be. It was like cnn. Like, it was like left leaning, but not necessarily completely insane. Now both of them since then have gone completely insane. And you know, they went through the Keith Olbermann period. And I mean, they've gone so far off the rails obviously at this point. But we know that the new name is. Do you want to. Do you want to guess? Do you have any idea.
- [71:38]
Glenn Beck
Have you seen Crap can?
- [71:39]
Stu
It is Crap Can. Yes, Crap Can News. You're right.
- [71:42]
Glenn Beck
No, that's cn, that's ccn. It might be. Yeah, different one might be too confusing. All right, go ahead. What is.
- [71:51]
Stu
Is Ms. Now.
- [71:59]
Glenn Beck
So let me see if I have this right. Ms. Hasn't been a part of MSNBC since the turn of the century.
- [72:07]
Stu
Years and years and years.
- [72:08]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, right. Yeah, but they're going to keep the Ms. Part, right? And the N. And the N. And the N. They're only changing two letters. That's what it is. They're like, we can just. We just cut those two letters out of everything and just put OW there instead of bc.
- [72:26]
Stu
Now, other than the fact that Ms. Now sounds like a plea for multiple sclerosis, do you. Do you want to take a venture a guess as to what this actually stands for? Each letter stands for something.
- [72:50]
Glenn Beck
Stands for. It's an acronym.
- [72:51]
Stu
Yes, Ms. Now News. You're skipping Ms. But yes, News. News is correct.
- [72:59]
Glenn Beck
You got that?
- [73:01]
Stu
So that one's right.
- [73:02]
Glenn Beck
So you got to get the Ms. Too. It's not Microsoft. I have no idea.
- [73:06]
Stu
Do you want me to tell you what it is?
- [73:09]
Glenn Beck
I do because I think it's going to be highly entertaining.
- [73:11]
Stu
Yeah. My source, NewSource, Opinion.
- [73:21]
Glenn Beck
World. So we have. Do they have cavemen working at their ad agency? My Source news, opinion, world.
- [73:36]
Stu
World.
- [73:40]
Glenn Beck
Mmm. Fire. Good.
- [73:44]
Stu
I mean, I will say the IQ level is about. Yeah.
- [73:48]
Glenn Beck
My source, news, opinion and world.
- [73:52]
Stu
Yes. Now, you're a guy who's done this, right? You've the Blaze, you came up with that GBTV before that.
- [74:02]
Glenn Beck
The Torch.
- [74:02]
Stu
The Torch coming soon to you. You also have many radio stations that you programmed back in the day where you would look at what they were presenting. And so if you're looking at all that as an expert in this field, how would you grade this rebrand for MSNBC?
- [74:23]
Glenn Beck
Does zero count? Usually it's 10 to 1. 1 to 10. Can I include zero or negative numbers? That is the worst rebounding I've ever heard.
- [74:34]
Stu
Yeah, it's really bad.
- [74:35]
Glenn Beck
Just start fresh from the very beginning, come up with something good.
- [74:39]
Stu
Yeah, they're trying to obviously bridge that gap to, hey, this is what we've always been. So you get into ms, gives you a little bit of familiarity, the logo.
- [74:47]
Glenn Beck
So it's going to be. So wait, wait, wait, wait. So it's not Ms. Now they're going to call it MSNow.
- [74:54]
Stu
I think they're going to call it Ms. Now. I think they're trying to keep the Ms. As something, you know, again, that.
- [75:02]
Glenn Beck
Only people think of multiple sclerosis. Nobody thinks. Nobody thinks of Microsoft. Nobody thinks of Microsoft. Think of multiple sclerosis.
- [75:09]
Stu
They don't want anybody to think of Microsoft. They haven't been involved in it forever.
- [75:13]
Glenn Beck
The only thing rather. They'd rather have you think of a debilitating disease.
- [75:18]
Stu
Yes.
- [75:18]
Glenn Beck
Than Microsoft.
- [75:19]
Stu
That is. That is better than their reputation. Yeah, it is. The other thing, you could look at it if you wanted to. They could go the feminist direction and call it Miz Now.
- [75:31]
Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh.
- [75:32]
Stu
That could be something they could try.
- [75:35]
Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh, is that a. That sounds like something they would love. Because it indicates to me it's an absolute, guaranteed, flaming, just ball of death as it hits this, as it hits the ground. Ms. Now, that just sounds like something that, like, yeah, we should do that.
- [75:58]
Stu
We should do that.
- [75:59]
Glenn Beck
And everybody else, message, no, you're gonna crash this plane into the side of the mountain. It's just gonna be a fiery ball of wreckage. It's not good.
- [76:05]
Stu
To be clear, the plane has only been flying like two feet off the ground for many, many years. But, yes, they might actually crash it this time. I could see Ms. Now actually being the way they go, which would be even more comical, though that would require them, I think, in theory, to define what a woman is. If they went with Miz now, that might not work either.
- [76:28]
Glenn Beck
This is a tough one. And when is this happening?
- [76:33]
Stu
I have not seen the exact date. It is supposed to be soon. The spinoff was announced last winter. They initially said they would be keeping its name, but then during the transitional period, they decided that they needed a new separate identity.
- [76:50]
Glenn Beck
So can I ask you why? Why? Who's making these decisions and hiring NBC? Is NBC like, you know what, we're going to staff and design our competitor?
- [77:04]
Stu
Yeah, kind of. I mean, because it does.
- [77:05]
Glenn Beck
Why would you do that?
- [77:06]
Stu
One of the statements I saw said NBC Universal decided. So I guess because they haven't fully spun off yet, they actually are making these decisions. Maybe they have a bet.
- [77:18]
Glenn Beck
So they're just ringing it off. Are they keeping it in the Universal Comcast world? I don't think selling.
- [77:25]
Stu
It's a separate company. I think it's going to be sold. Separate. Separate company.
- [77:28]
Glenn Beck
Why wouldn't you just sell the position? Why wouldn't you just sell the cable access, you know, like Current did? Remember when Current sold it to.
- [77:37]
Stu
Right.
- [77:38]
Glenn Beck
They couldn't sell that. They wouldn't sell. Al Gore would not sell Current TV to Glenn Beck because I was so un American, in his own words, that he sold it to Al Jazeera.
- [77:50]
Stu
Right.
- [77:52]
Glenn Beck
I remember this, you know, the company that bought it with oil monies from Al Gore. So that made a lot of sense to him. So why wouldn't. Why wouldn't they just sell that position? Why wouldn't they just go, it's up for sale. Why would you buy something that NBC created that. I mean, so wait a minute. You hired everybody, but you hired them because you wouldn't give anybody on NBC a role there. So you were like, why would you have hired. You find anybody good? You'd be like, yeah, save those guys for NBC. This guy belongs at Miz Now. That's what we're calling it from here on out. Stu, that's good.
- [78:35]
Stu
Miz Now.
- [78:37]
Glenn Beck
Miz now is just too good.
- [78:39]
Stu
Now, remember too, at one point, Elon Musk contemplated the potential purchase of msnbc.
- [78:46]
Glenn Beck
He's smarter than that. Yeah. Why would you want a cable news company? What is he in a time machine? He got back into a time machine. You know, I'd like to do that. And I'd like a printing press, too.
- [79:01]
Stu
That's a fair point. I just. I will say that. And the color scheme and, like the logo is really basic. It looks terrible, honestly. And this is going to go, I think, poorly. Glenn poorly.
- [79:17]
Glenn Beck
That's saying something. When MSNBC Is designing something that you think might be worse than MSNBC shocking? Shocking.
- [79:27]
Stu
You could do it, you know, if you put your mind to it, you can. You can accomplish anything, Glenn, including making NBC MSNBC even worse.
- [79:35]
Glenn Beck
That's like. If we designed it, honestly, it would be like, okay, all right, let's hire a bunch of lefties. We're going to call it Miz Now. We're going to. We're going to lead with. Oh, my gosh, look at that. We're going to. We're going to lead with guy cheerleaders and communism. It's going to be big. I mean, that sounds like something I would design for them to either make fun of them or just to be. See if we can. Do you remember when I told you I went to that opera called the Nose? I took my daughter to the opera. She loved opera. And it was. Honestly, it was. I don't even know what the story was, but it was. The main character was a nose. So it's a giant nose with feet coming out of the nostrils. And I said at the time, I said, this has to be. This was written by somebody who was like, you know, these opera snobs. I'm gonna write this whole thing. It makes no sense. It's awful. But I'm gonna say, oh, no, you just don't get it. You don't get the nose with the feet coming out. You don't get it. Well, I guess so. And they sold it just because opera snobs didn't want to say, I don't get it. Okay, you had to get it or you weren't cool. I think this is what. I think that's what my. This might be. This is just. Might be a play on, like, how bad can we make this thing to see if we can get these lefties and go. You don't get Miz now. You don't understand that. All right, well, whatever. No, no, I get it. I think it's genius. In fact, I want to pay more for it. What a bunch of dopes. All right, let me tell you about my Patriot Supply. The biggest dangers don't always come from where we expect. Sometimes it's a storm that knocks out power for weeks. Sometimes it's a strike that leaves trucks parked and grocery store shelves empty. Sometimes it's just bad policy that makes everything more expensive than it was yesterday. The point is, you don't get to choose the crisis, but you do get to choose whether your family is ready for it or not. My Patriot Supply has put together emergency food kits that remove the panic from the equation. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. All of it sealed, stored and built to last decades. So when the rest of the world is scrambling for what's left, you're calm, you're collected and serving up a hot meal to the people who matter most. It's not just food storage. It's a line in the sand between chaos and peace of mind. And right now my Patriot supply is giving away four weeks of emergency food. Just go to mypatriotsupply.com Glenn and find out how you can claim your four week emergency food supply. Join millions of Americans who are preparing with my Patriot supply. That's a four week food supply for free. You find out how you can claim it now@mypatriotsupply.com Glenn. That's mypatriotsupply.com glenn. You ever seen a liberal's hands smoother than a snake on oil. Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word retarded than the word work. Glenn Beck will be right back. Well, I don't think that the New York Times could be, you know, any more clear than their opinion piece abolish the state electoral college and pack the court. What do you think they mean by that? What do you think their point is on that? Wow. Well, there, there, that's a, that's a way to go. At the same time that they are promoting all of these communists and communist Islamists and illegals in our state, in our country, you know, at the same time they're promoting all of that. Now they're coming out with, they're doing a, running a, an editorial from Osita. No. Wanna view? Wanna vu. What? N, W, A, N, E, V, W. That's not a word.
- [83:55]
Stu
I would definitely buy a consonant. Not, not a vowel.
- [83:58]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean it's. Wow. Okay. But the, the article is based on the right of the people democracy in the case for a new American founding. New American. Haven't we heard about a new American founding elsewhere? Jason, do you remember that? Isn't there somebody on the right that's also talking about a new American founding?
- [84:25]
Jason Buttrell
Comes to mind? I think. Yeah, both sides are now.
- [84:27]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Are now talking about a new American founding. Yeah. No. What do you say we go back to the original founding? You know, I think the original idea would be good. You know, you've got this, you've got this gto. You know, you got this great old classic car and everybody's like, you know what? I think we should completely, we should swap the engine out. You know, what we should do is we should change the body. How about we just restore it to the coolest car ever? You know what I mean? Why is everybody talking about how we can make this great by completely changing it? You know, that's again going into an art museum. That Mona Lisa is good. Now we could restore it or we could get all that paint off of that thing and put something new there. A new Mona Lisa. No, no, let's restore this. There's a reason why the average constitution runs for 17 years and our is approaching 200 and what, 40. This is Glenn Beck. We've got an incredible hour coming up for you. Let me tell you about Jace Medical. Imagine you're packing for a trip overseas and you're you check for your bag, your shoes, your passport, phone charger. Here's a question nobody ever thinks to ask themselves. What if you get sick? What if it's not just a headache, but something that needs medication? Now extend that question to everyday life. The past few years, one thing that we should have learned is that the pharmacy. Pharmacy shelves do not always stay stocked. I don't know. That's a tongue for me. When water, when, when supply chains snap, it doesn't matter how close your corner drugstore is if it doesn't have any drugs in it. This is why Jace Medical exists. They provide a supply of emergency antibiotics. A tiny box with a huge impact. It's not just about being prepared in the doomsday sense. It's about being the kind of person who thinks ahead and knows that, you know, if my family needs medication, I need to have that medication. And it could even mean just having medication at night until you can get to the doctor the next morning and get it from the drugstore the next day.

Fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Well, as the president is getting ready to meet on Ukraine about the Ukraine Russia peace deal, the media is all up in arms about that. And also PBS is being replaced by Prageru. Yes, the mainstream media has revealed it's all been a grand scheme and I have. Have the. I happen to have the CEO of PragerU here at the ranch. A lot of Prageru people are upstairs because we're filming a bunch of stuff. I didn't realize that I am suddenly Elmo, but we'll talk about that coming up in just a second. Also, the New York Times. Oh, now there's. Here's a great article and I. I'm not sure there's a. There's a lot that we have to read into it on, you know, because I'm not sure what they mean when they say, you know, pack the courts. But there's a new. There's a new article out from the New York Times. It's an op ed piece where they have a plan. They have a plan for America. It doesn't really sound like America if they do their plan. But we'll get into that here in just a second. Standby. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Lear Capital. You know, ever notice how suddenly, you know, everybody's suddenly an investing genius? You know, at the family barbecue when somebody is like, crypto's going to the moon, your cousin's all in. You know, on tech stocks, somebody's uncle is talking about Beanie babies making a comeback because he's got a closet full of them somewhere. And then when the market starts to actually shake, all these can't miss strategies such suddenly sound like a lot of bad jokes. And the only people laughing are the ones who made sure that part of their money was parked in something really solid. That's something that has been a store of value for thousands of years. And that is gold or silver. That's where Lear Capital comes in. They help you have some peace of mind by taking a piece of your savings or even part of your retirement and turning it into real physical metals. Not a trend, not a fad, not Beanie Babies. Although that was a very good idea. Just something that you can actually hold on and hold in your hand when smart money crowd starts to sweat. So please call Lear Capital today. The number is 800-957-Gold. 800-957-Gold. It's Lear Capital. All right. This is such an amazing story that is coming now from the left and the New York Times on let's. Let's change the constitution. Let's change. You want to give me a quick. I just lost the story. Can you give me a quick update on this one?
- [90:28]
Jason Buttrell
The title of this, well, kind of you, like you hinted, speaks for itself. The title is thus abolish the senate in the electoral college and pack the court. It's a discussion on what? I mean, it's Almost like they're doing a 1619 project. No, but instead of focusing that now, they're just trying to change the history of why the Founders created our government the way they did. And it's a complete abomination. I mean, the founders pretty much saw government as an evil, a necessary evil, but they did everything in their power to limit it as much as they could. Now this, this article is opinion, whatever this is, seems to argue exactly the opposite. And what's really amazing to me is they actually have the balls to mention things like the Federalist Papers and then turn around and title this thing in the Electoral College. I mean, it's argued specifically not only the need for an electoral college, but why.
- [91:27]
Glenn Beck
So you know what's amazing to me is they make several points in this article where they are like the Electoral College trying to say that it's only a democracy if we have no electoral college. Well, we're not a democracy. We are a republic. And democracies fail every single time. There is no such thing as a true democracy where everybody is voting on every, you know, on every item they have fail every time you have a democracy. And the reason why the left likes it is because you can convince, look at New York. You can convince people of something like communism and then that's the last election that you will have. In country after country, that's what happens. The people are voting, they vote in and they're like, you know what? This is the answer to all of our problems is the answer to cancer. And then you don't have another vote again. You don't, you don't have it, it doesn't, you don't have the Republic. First of all, you can't vote on every single thing. You can't, because you don't know all the ins and outs of everything. So you have to elect somebody that is as close to you as possible and you elect them first in the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives. The reason why there's only a two year term on those guys is because that's the closest to you. The Congress is the one that is supposed to control the purse strings. But that's not true anymore. You want to know why our spending is out of control? Because Congress no longer does its job. Congress no longer controls the purse strings. So they've given that up because they haven't done any budget or anything else. And nobody's holding anybody responsible for the spending. What you're supposed to do is every two years, when they get out of control on spending, you can vote Them out and say, nope, don't want any of that. It's the closest to the people. That's why they have to run every two years. Then the Senate, which the progressives have already changed. And he makes a case in here again in the New York Times editorial that we're not done. We haven't done enough to the Senate. In 1913, the, the Progressives under Wilson, they decide they're going to change the Senate from the way it was originally in the Constitution. The way the founders did it was, remember, they want the people, but they also were really concerned about the federal government. So they wanted the states to make sure the states were representative. So no one, everyone knew that no state, Texas is not going to vote for something because New York wants it. And it's not good for Texas if Texans are elected by the state and they only represent the state. Right now you have Chuck Schumer. Why does he raise money in California? Why does he? Why are these people running around even on our side, all around the country? Why do we care? Here's why we care. Because they no longer represent the state. It's just another higher level, I guess, of Congress. We already have that body. Now we're supposed to have something that protects the individual states. Well, the progressives didn't like that because they need a democracy and they want an all powerful federal government. And so they abolished that from the constitution. And the 17th amendment changed the way that we vote for senators. So they've already screwed it up once. This is what progressives always do. They'll fix health care and then they'll say, and it's so broken now it's even worse. So let's fix it again. No, you guys should be left out of it, okay? You guys should not be fixing anything because you don't know your butt from your elbow. So they've already changed that. Now they're saying that that has to be changed even more because it's not representative? Well, no, because it's supposed to equalize the reason why we have 400 and what is it, 434 representatives is more than that. Now that number changes as our population grows. So the population grows. You get in your area, you'll get more Congress people because it represents the people. The Senate only has two senators from Delaware or California. And this article is saying that's not fair because there's more people in California than there are in Delaware. Well, if you do that, then you completely erase the states. Then Delaware, Wyoming, Idaho, all of these other states that have small Populations, the only ones that matter will be California, Texas, New York, Florida. That's it. They'll make all the decisions. Now you in Nebraska, do you want New York and California and even Texas making all the decisions for you? Of course not. Of course not. That's why The Senate has two senators, not 50 senators for California. Two. The same as your state. They've already undercut the the state power one time. Now they want to cut it completely and make it into another representative body of the people. That's not what it was for. They knew that Congress would react quickly. The House of Representatives would be so connected to the people that they would act quickly and they could do really stupid things because when there's a panic, these elected officials want to move because their constituents are yelling at them and it wouldn't necessarily be the right thing. So they wanted to balance that with the state power. The state. Those senators were elected by the legislators in that state, which I don't love, but it might bring things back into play where we don't care about Chuck Schumer anymore. Unless you live in New York. You only care about your senator. Because they were the balance from the public saying we've got to put the Patriot act in. No. The Senate should be aligned to say, nope. That takes power away from the states and gives an all consuming federal government all kinds of power to them. No. And then when those two houses, both the state and the peoples living in the states could agree, then it goes to the President. And the President is only supposed to veto when he feels it's unconstitutional. Not because he doesn't like it, not because his party tells him, but because it's unconstitutional. You don't have the power to do that. However, Congress can say, Mr. President, I'm sorry, you're wrong. And they can, with three fourths. They can vote again and pass it in the House with three fourths. Or they can take it to the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court is only supposed to decide whether it's constitutional. Look at the damage that the left and the progressives have done to this system. It was brilliant. The power is in the House with the people. The power. They always say when there's a problem, follow the money. Right? The money is the power. So they've taken that power to create laws and given it to the executive branch, to the presidential branch. They've stopped doing passing a budget. We haven't had a budget since George Bush. They've stopped passing a budget. So they have no real power left in them anymore. Then they gutted the state with the, the Senate. And then they made the president, they made him into the, the veto power, into whatever his party says. They've completely revamped this thing already, and it's not working. Why? Because they've bastardized it. If the President, they can't get it done in the House, they can't get it done in the Senate, and they can't get it done by the President. Then they've expanded the power of the Supreme Court, and now the Supreme Court can legislate from the bench. They can say, well, you know what? I think what they meant was this. No, that's, that's not your job. That's not your job. Your job is to say, this is constitutional. This is not constitutional. To give you an idea of how weak the Supreme Court was supposed to be, when the designers of the Capitol put together the three branches of government, they, they didn't include a space for the Supreme Court. You know, where the Supreme Court, until fdr, the Supreme Court used to meet in the basement of the Capitol. They didn't have any space. They had the basement of the Capitol. But FDR wanted to make sure that the Supreme Court could rule the country. And if he couldn't get it passed in the House and the Senate, he'd get it through the Supreme Court. That's why he put them on a pedestal, and that's why he tried exactly what this article is saying to do, pack the Supreme Court. What does that mean? That means what we're going to do here is we're just going to load up on Supreme Court justices. We have nine Supreme Court justices. That's not in the Constitution. You can have seven, you can have 12. It's not in the Constitution. But our tradition is there has been nine Supreme Court justices. So we all accept that. When you start, imagine lefties. How would you feel if Donald Trump said, we're going to pack the Supreme Court, I'm going to add five more justices right now. What would you do? What would you do? You'd lose your mind. Why? Because, you know, he would pack it with the people that would just agree with him. That's not what the Supreme Court is supposed to do. That's why if Donald Trump said he was going to pack the Supreme Court, I would be against it, and I would be a leading opposition voice of Donald Trump on that, if that's what he wanted to do. But you're suggesting that as something that would be good for the country, it would not be good for the country. And by the way, Once you pack the Supreme Court, you'll get up. There are some countries that have like 47 Supreme Court justices. They just keep putting them in until they can absolutely control it. Once you pack a Supreme Court, you destroy the country. That is the last gasp of a republic or of a country. You pack the Supreme Court. So they've changed absolutely everything. And in this op ed, he's also suggesting that, you know, you know, another thing we should do is we should just add states. We just add states. We'll just keep adding states. Again, packing the Senate. What, what, when you say we want to, what is the thing they want to reimagine America. Refound America. You're not refounding it. You're doing. You're working on something completely different. That's not America.

The under headline on the main headline is why the left can't win. I'm adding my own ellipses here. Without a new Constitution. That's how radically they're thinking on this. Just insane.
- [103:41]
Glenn Beck
I mean, but it's true. They don't like the outcome. They don't like the fact that they almost had us. They almost had us. They have taken and twisted education. They took and twisted the media. They made these all just groups that are marching at their orders, teaching and using propaganda and brainwashing techniques to teach these twisted views and then reinforce them in the media. They had that. It wasn't enough. Before they had music, they had the movies. It wasn't enough. They just keep gobbling and gobbling and gobbling. And the reason why they're now at this point is because we're onto them. We figured it out. The people will always, you know, we will always be late, but we'll always figure it out and then we'll do the right thing. They're trying to take away all of the escape doors, all of the exit doors. They're trying to lock them all down so you can't get out of this nightmare hell house that they're building for us. Back in just a second. Let me tell you about Z Factor.

Assumed name he's been living under for a whole time. Mainly because I think he's a Canadian spy, which everybody used to laugh at. Now not so funny, is it? Canadian brigeer. I know who you are.
- [106:34]
Stu
Some would say that. Some would say that I'm hiding my association with you.
- [106:38]
Glenn Beck
That would be another way to look at it.
- [106:41]
Stu
It all started with you.
- [106:43]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Ella Emhoff, the stepdaughter of the former Vice president Kamala Harris, took to TikTok on Thursday to express her deep anxiety about climate change. She has a deep, deep fear about the current state of the environment. And she said the feelings about climate anxiety have made her feel very, very heavy. It could be the cake that also makes you feel heavy. I don't know. I don't. I have not seen a picture of her, so I don't know. But she said, like everyone, I feel disgust at what's going on in the world. No, no, that's not everybody. Genocide, the loss of lives, the loss of health care and the general fear that everyone has surrounding affordability, their lives, their livelihood, like everything, it just feels so big. I think everything with the environment is really getting to me and it's the one. I experience a lot of climate anxiety. It's not funny. Well, it's not. It's actually a. It's a huge tragedy that you feel that way. And I would blame your parents and everybody else in the media and, and all of your teachers, all the people that you kind of really support for doing this to you. And then you being an adult and not being able to figure out this climate change thing is a scam. This is Glenn Beck. Every financial commercial seems to be starting the same way. Sorry, wrong commercial. Let me tell you about. Is this Z Factor? No, we just did Z Factor. Thank you. Sorry. Cozy Earth. You want. You want really comfortable clothing.

Glenn Beck
Oh, in the belly of the beast. I'm sitting here with the CEO of PragerU, which we all know. If you watched, you know, CNN or, you know, you saw anything from Vox, they are the new PBS there, which I think, because Marissa Stride is the CEO, she's up here at my ranch because we're filming some stuff for Prager, you kids. Right. And does that make me Elmo or.
- [110:21]
Marissa Stride
I think you're more of a big bird.
- [110:22]
Glenn Beck
Big bird. Okay. Okay, good. All of a sudden, it doesn't feel so great. So they're claiming that you are becoming the new PBS because you're going after our kids. Can. Can you just. First of all, do you get any money from the federal government?
- [110:41]
Marissa Stride
We won't take a dollar from the government. That's in our mission.
- [110:46]
Glenn Beck
Well, Stu, help me out. Doesn't that automatically disqualify you from being pbs?
- [110:53]
Stu
It does. I would say it does, yes.
- [110:55]
Glenn Beck
I mean, I think the big thing about PBS is they're taking our federal dollars and using it in ways that I don't necessarily agree with. And they can make money on their own. So I don't. I think the press misses what the problem is with pbs. So tell me about what you are doing right now, because there's several things. First of all, let's start with the 250th anniversary. What are you doing on the 250th anniversary?
- [111:22]
Marissa Stride
So Prageru uses edutainment. So in some ways, they're comparing us to PBS because of that. Because we believe that learning should be fun and it should be entertaining, and that oftentimes when you're entertained, you can learn. And so in that way, we are so somewhat similar to pbs. But what we are doing is we're celebrating America. America has never been perfect, but it's the greatest country on God's green earth.
- [111:49]
Glenn Beck
Right?
- [111:50]
Marissa Stride
And when we are teaching kids to grow up and not love their country, it is causing so many problems. It's a national security issue. It's a mental health issue for our children big time. And so we are taking this opportunity for America's 250th birthday to just reignite patriotism and give some perspective that, yes, America has its blemishes, of course it does. But America is a great country and has been a leader in greatness for so many years, and we want to teach that. And so what we are doing is we're creating content for every single learner four years old, all the way through 104, to remember what we're country, our country is about, what our DNA is.
- [112:34]
Glenn Beck
And the nice thing is, is that it is. It's actual history. I mean, we. We cut something yesterday. We're working on several of these videos that are going to be used in AP classes. Right. So this is AP history in high schools.
- [112:52]
Marissa Stride
Yes. I mean, look, so many Americans are learning history through the lens of Howard Zinn. For those who don't know who Howard Zinn is, I think he categorically destroyed.
- [113:04]
Glenn Beck
The.
- [113:06]
Marissa Stride
History classes in America. Right. Teaching a perspective. Not all of it was a lie, but it's the footnotes. It's without the greater perspective of what America is. And so we are taking American history and we're making it fun and engaging and so that students who would. Would watch this course that we're creating together will not learn not only learn the truth about America, but will have a perspective and enjoy doing it at the same time. That's the edutainment piece of it.
- [113:36]
Glenn Beck
And it's really amazing because we're not avoiding the bad stuff. We're doing something today on slavery.
- [113:43]
Marissa Stride
Yes.
- [113:44]
Glenn Beck
And, you know, I saw somewhere, I read, you know, they were accusing you guys of. Prageru is dismissing slavery and saying it's no big deal. And I'm like, what, on what planet, in what parallel universe is Prageru saying That.
- [113:57]
Marissa Stride
Well, what they're saying is we made a video that teaches about Christopher Columbus, and we basically paraphrase what he would have said to two young kids. And from Christopher Columbus's perspective, he probably thought that slavery was okay because that's what he did. And so, because we had the cartoon Christopher Columbus say, oh, I think slavery is okay. And then the kids responded back to him in this show that we made. Well, actually, slavery is abhorrent. It is a horrible thing, Right? We know today that it was a terrible thing that the world engaged in slavery. And then Christopher Columbus in this cartoon responds and says, oh, wow, I don't. I didn't have that perspective. I didn't know. That is why we are being attacked, because we are paraphrasing what Christopher Columbus would have said. And so what does the silly media do? I mean, it's completely cuckoo. They're claiming that Prager U is claiming that slavery was okay because the character in our cartoon, that character Christopher Columbus, said it was okay.
- [115:03]
Glenn Beck
You know, it's amazing. I think this stuff is coming undone quickly and they're panicking. I mean, look what you're doing with teachers, okay? These teachers are moving from, you know, deeply blue states into red states. And the states rightfully, you know, are saying, ah, we. We don't want any of that California crap in our schools. But they're. If they're licensed to be a teacher, they can teach anywhere. But that's now changing because states are saying, no, you're coming from California. You're coming from New York. I want to make sure that, you know, the things that you know are true. And we're not having any of this woke crap. This test that you're giving now, and you've been asked by the states to develop this test, and it is so, to me, first grade kind of questions. I can't believe there is a problem with this at all.
- [115:56]
Marissa Stride
I mean, we're living in shocking times, Glenn. It's shocking. People can see the test. We've made this test available. They can go to our website. They can check it out. The test is so very basic. The fact that the media and the administrators of woke schools are squealing over this test is unbelievable. It is so very, very basic. But you're right. In California, teachers are required to take a course called the prism test. I like to call it the prison test because, frankly, I think teachers should go to prison if you can't pass this. Yes, it's crazy. The prism test is given to Californian teachers to. It's not a test, it's a course. It's a six part course that teaches a teacher how to not differentiate between a boy and a girl, how to actually bring all of this sexualization that we've been complaining about in classrooms. And so it's not just superintendents of education that have approached us with questions how do we help teachers do the right thing? It's also parents. Parents are coming to us and saying, well, we don't know if we can trust these teachers anymore. We're going to send our kids to our schools and, and have a teacher that can't pass a basic civics test, that can't pass a basic literacy test, that can't pass a best basic understanding of, of what a boy is and what a girl is. So Superintendent of Education Ryan Walters of Oklahoma approached us and said, can you just do something very basic because the complaints are coming in when parents are sending their kids to schools where teachers who have come in from California and New York are in charge of a classroom and are bringing in the woke indoctrination that they've received in California.
- [117:39]
Glenn Beck
Any idea how many teachers are failing this test?
- [117:42]
Marissa Stride
Well, we are launching this test now, so this is a brand new test. But I can tell you how many teachers have been forced to pass the PRISM test in California. Almost every single one of them.
- [117:54]
Glenn Beck
So listen to some of these questions. Stu. This is multiple choice. This is not a setup. This is multiple choice. So. So I mean you'll get everyone. What's the primary, this is the first question. What's the primary biological distinction between males and females? A Height and weight B Hairstyle C Personal preference D Chromosomes and reproductive anatomy.
- [118:18]
Stu
That's a tough one.
- [118:19]
Glenn Beck
That's a tough one.
- [118:20]
Stu
Leaning hairstyle.
- [118:24]
Glenn Beck
Birthday at birth. How is a person's biological sex typically identified? A Personal feelings B Parental choice C Online registration D Visual anatomical observation and chromosomes.
- [118:39]
Stu
It's a fascinating one. I mean, obviously the answer is D, but I would say a lot of people on the left would say B. Right. Like it's parental preference or something.
- [118:46]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, right. Or personal feelings. I mean, you know, this only gets, this only gets hard if you are completely disconnected from science and reality.
- [118:57]
Marissa Stride
Well, you mentioned science and reality. I have spoken to pediatricians and doctors frankly from all over the country who are forced to erase the question of whether they have a boy or a girl in the medical charts when they're receiving a new patient. So this is not just a problem in schools, but this is a problem in pediatric offices as well. So yes, sadly we are Living in the twilight zone where teachers have to be taught very basic common sense.
- [119:27]
Glenn Beck
Listen, listen to this. Name one reason the colonists fought for the British. Fought the British. A, avoid working the land. B, higher social standing. C, resist forced army service. D, protest high British taxes without representation. I mean, honestly, fifth graders. In my day, fifth graders would. Would be able to take this, you know, 100 years ago, first graders would be insulted by these. Who was the first president? John Adams, Thomas Jefferson? Greg Washington or George Washington? I'm pretty sure it was Greg. What did the Emancipation Proclamation do? Ended prohibition, Freed Confederate generals, Freed the slaves in the north, freed the slaves in the South. Honestly, you cannot be a teacher if you don't know these things.
- [120:19]
Marissa Stride
We agree. We agree. And as much as we're giggling about it and, you know, it sounds funny, but it's really not funny, Glenn. It's really sad and it's really upsetting. Part of what this test is doing is it's actually recalibrating what is happening in the classrooms. It's reminding teachers to focus on what matters. It's reminding teachers to actually look at the world through common sense, a lens of common sense. And sadly, the teacher indoctrination centers, which is basically the teacher seminaries, the colleges for teachers, have been turning the world upside down. And they're training these young teachers to go into our classrooms. And you're lucky if they know nothing. The problem is the Marxism that they're being taught.
- [121:05]
Glenn Beck
I know, I know. Talk to me a little bit about Hungary because you just got back from Hungary, didn't you, last. Weren't you there last week?
- [121:11]
Marissa Stride
Yes, we were in Hungary last week.
- [121:13]
Glenn Beck
What is happening in Hungary?
- [121:15]
Marissa Stride
So what is happening now is the world is realizing that there is a real attack on common sense everywhere and there's an attack on values. And Prageru, through our edutainment model, has been successful here in the United States. I mean, as you could see, cnn, New York Times, they're all upset that we're becoming the new pbs, as they call us. And we don't want to just create a system that helps America. We want to create an industry that helps the world. We want the world to be a better place.
- [121:49]
Glenn Beck
Glenn.
- [121:50]
Marissa Stride
And so when other places, when other countries approach Prageru and say, hey, how do we do edutainment in our own country? Our answer is, is yes. And so we have created now a training system for other countries so that they can bring these wholesome patriotic values to their own country. So we flew to Hungary to train them. Them We've been training some folks in the uk. Canadians have come out to Prager U. We've done the same training for them for a very long time. I hate to say this, over the last 10 years, America has been exporting some real bad ideas.
- [122:26]
Glenn Beck
USAID.
- [122:28]
Marissa Stride
USAID has been a huge problem. It's been propagating a lot of this gender blur stuff.
- [122:33]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [122:33]
Marissa Stride
And.
- [122:34]
Glenn Beck
And to countries that were dead set against it but were starving. You can't get the aid unless you teach this.
- [122:40]
Marissa Stride
Exactly.
- [122:41]
Glenn Beck
And they did because they had to.
- [122:42]
Marissa Stride
We've been bribing other countries to do the wrong thing.
- [122:46]
Glenn Beck
It's awful.
- [122:47]
Marissa Stride
To sexualize their children. And so we feel that as, as an organization that is helping save America, we are trying to undo that damage as well. And if we can train other countries to undo the damage, then, then that's what we're going to do.
- [123:03]
Glenn Beck
So do you base that on their stuff or do you base that on like the American understanding of freedom?
- [123:11]
Marissa Stride
So our, we have a set of values at Prageru, which is the Amer, what we call the American DNA, our understanding of freedom.
- [123:19]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [123:20]
Marissa Stride
We are not looking to export American ideas to other countries. What we are looking to do is teach them the model of how edutainment works and to teach them a model of, of how Prageru follows its values. Now, many of them, and we do make sure that the folks that we're working with do honor and respect our values. We're not going to train a bunch of Marxists in doing so. And many of them are using some of our videos as a baseline for teaching.
- [123:51]
Glenn Beck
Well, you're doing God's work and I am so proud to partner with you and to call you friend and Dennis the same. Can you give me a quick update? I've only got a couple of seconds. Quick update on Dennis. How is he doing?
- [124:02]
Marissa Stride
So Dennis had a very severe injury. For those who don't know the background, he fell down, he hit his spinal cord. The spinal cord injury is at the top of his spine. And so it makes it very, very difficult for him to breathe. And that's why the recovery is taking so long. It's been already nine months that he's been laying down. His mind is there, his body is not there. But he has. The good news is he just completed another book. So Dennis is living his values.
- [124:32]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, well, we pray for him all the time. Thank you so much. By the way, if you want to give to Prageru, Mercury One has given a Prageru. Tanya and I donate to Prageru. I mean, I really, I believe these guys really are saving the Republic. It's one of the most important movements this month. They are doing a matching dollar for dollar. So you give a dollar, somebody else will give a dollar to match it. So you double the the effect. Please give to prageru. Go to prageru.com prageru.com thank you.
- [125:02]
Marissa Stride
Better you than the government. We don't take a dollar.
- [125:05]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, good. All right. Let me tell you a little bit about our sponsor. It's Relief Factor. Remember the first time you ran down the hill as a kid? You were laughing, arms flailing, not thinking about your knees at all. Somewhere along the way, along the way, our, our knees started to go, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, slow down. Now we just look at things and we're like, ah, not going to run down that there's a tweak in your shoulder, a stiffness in your back, or an ache that just won't quit. Most people learn to shrink their lives to fit the pain. They say, I'm done running down the hills. But that's not living. That's just negotiating with. The pain relief factor was created for people who want to tear up that contract. It's a simply daily, a simple daily plan designed to address the root causes of inflammation so your body can do what it was built to do, move freely. Because the goal isn't just less pain, it's getting back to the way you want to live your life. You know, the wind in your face and freedom in your steps and the laughter says, I'm still alive. So go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com 800 the number four relief. Common sense ain't common anymore. Is it time to wake up and wrangle the sheep? Glenn Beck continues next. So if you happen to be watching on BlazeTV, what you're seeing is a video from Dearborn, Michigan, Saturday. 40,000 Shia Muslims took part in a religious procession commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Muhammad that was killed in the battle of Karbala in 680 A.D. which civilization survives? The one, that one, or the one that can't even tell you the president's name today?
