Investigate Who Covered Up Biden’s Mental State NOW! | 5/5/25

Summary

Podcast Summary: The Glenn Beck Program – "Investigate Who Covered Up Biden’s Mental State NOW!" | May 5, 2025

Introduction In this episode of The Glenn Beck Program, host Glenn Beck and his co-hosts delve into a range of pressing American political and cultural issues. The primary focus centers on allegations that officials have concealed President Joe Biden’s declining mental acuity, alongside broader discussions on economic policies, student loan reforms, and border security. The conversation is punctuated with insightful commentary and notable quotes from both Glenn Beck and his guests.

Biden’s Mental State and Alleged Cover-Up The episode opens with Glenn Beck addressing serious concerns regarding President Joe Biden’s mental health. Beck asserts that there has been a systematic effort to mask Biden’s cognitive decline, misleading the American public about his capabilities as Commander-in-Chief.

• Glenn Beck (70:40): “You have to understand why people believe that their president is fully capable even when all the evidence suggests otherwise.”
• Jeffy Fisher (74:21): “People have admitted the lie, including Ron Klain, his chief of staff, who said that he couldn’t even comprehend what was being said at that debate. Where were you then?”

Beck emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability, questioning the integrity of those who might have participated in this alleged cover-up. He calls for a full investigation to uncover the extent of the misinformation spread by Biden’s administration and associated officials.

Economic Policies and Tariffs Under Trump Shifting focus, Beck and his co-hosts discuss the economic strategies employed by former President Donald Trump, particularly his use of tariffs to bolster American manufacturing. They analyze the short-term market volatility versus long-term economic benefits, highlighting how tariffs have been both criticized and defended.

• Donald Trump (19:32): “The tariffs are going to make us rich. We're going to be a very rich country.”
• Glenn Beck (22:10): “It's a long-term projection of where the economy is going, not necessarily what's important on a day-to-day.”

The discussion underscores the tension between immediate economic disruptions and the intended goal of reshoring jobs and reducing dependency on foreign manufacturing, especially concerning China.

Student Loan Reforms and Biden’s Policies A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to critiquing President Biden’s approach to student loan forgiveness. Beck argues that the policy has led to widespread non-payment among borrowers, potentially undermining the fiscal responsibility tied to higher education funding.

• Glenn Beck (58:33): “Why would you pay them? Right, like if people say hey, actually, you don't have to pay them, most people are just not going to pay them.”
• Jeffy Fisher (62:30): “So if you don’t have a job, everyone in the media is like… you can’t make a payment.”

Beck contends that Biden’s policies may favor certain groups while disadvantaging those who have diligently repaid their loans, calling the administration’s stance “despicable” and likening it to a betrayal of the middle class.

Border Security and Deportation Policies The conversation also touches on the current state of U.S. border security, with Beck defending Trump’s stricter immigration policies against what he perceives as overly lenient measures under Biden. He discusses specific cases, such as the deportation of a Maryland man, to illustrate his points.

• Glenn Beck (74:26): “You can't have both economic growth and not have jobs if tariffs are in place.”
• Jeffy Fisher (84:25): “They say it's worse than the term… like, we're stepping into a recession if policies continue.”

Beck criticizes the media’s portrayal of deportations and asserts that strong border policies are essential for national security and economic stability.

2026 Budget Overview Beck reviews the proposed 2026 budget, highlighting significant cuts to non-defense discretionary spending and increased allocations for defense and border security.

• Glenn Beck (90:56): “This budget reduces non-defense discretionary spending by $163 billion or 23%, the lowest since 2017.”
• Jeffy Fisher (94:08): “Support our veterans, preserve Social Security…”

He particularly emphasizes the elimination of programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), labeling them as “radical” and unnecessary. The increase in defense spending is portrayed as a strategic move to enhance national security.

Assisted Suicide and Ethical Debates A poignant segment addresses the ethical considerations surrounding assisted suicide, sparked by the story of Daniel Kahneman, a respected psychologist and Nobel laureate who chose to end his life in Switzerland. Beck and his co-hosts debate the moral implications and societal attitudes toward assisted suicide.

• Glenn Beck (117:26): “I admire and respect Daniel Kahneman's decision to end his life.”
• Jeffy Fisher (119:50): “He was a great guy... why on earth would it need to be ended?”

They discuss the philosophical questions it raises about autonomy, suffering, and the role of government in personal life choices, ultimately advocating for the right to die with dignity while expressing skepticism about the motivations behind such decisions.

Conclusion In wrapping up the episode, Glenn Beck reiterates the importance of uncovering the truth behind political narratives, especially concerning the mental fitness of national leaders. The hosts encourage listeners to remain vigilant and informed, emphasizing the need for accountability and integrity in government.

Notable Quotes:

• Glenn Beck (70:40): “You have to understand why people believe that their president is fully capable even when all the evidence suggests otherwise.”
• Donald Trump (19:32): “The tariffs are going to make us rich. We're going to be a very rich country.”
• Glenn Beck (58:33): “Why would you pay them? Right, like if people say hey, actually, you don't have to pay them, most people are just not going to pay them.”
• Glenn Beck (117:26): “I admire and respect Daniel Kahneman's decision to end his life.”
• Glenn Beck (90:56): “This budget reduces non-defense discretionary spending by $163 billion or 23%, the lowest since 2017.”

[Jeffy Fisher]

So President Trump sat down with NBC News's Christian Welker over the weekend and lucky him. Lucky him. I don't know how many times he's going to have to answer this question. Do you know what the question was? It's always Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security being cut. I mean, how many times has he addressed this? The only ones talking about it are the left. The only ones who are threatening your Social Security or your Medicare, Medicaid are the Democrats. They're the only ones I ever hear bring this up because President Trump has said multiple times, I'm not cutting Social Security, we're not cutting Medicare and Medicaid, we're not doing any of that. We're cutting fraud and waste. But who doesn't want that?

[Glenn Beck]

Well, it's the best part of Medicare and Medicaid is the fraud and the waste. Yeah, yeah, everyone loves that.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

No, it's funny. I mean, there was a time where conservatives made arguments that this is. These are unsustainable programs that need to be reformed.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That time is long.

[Glenn Beck]

It's long.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It's dead.

[Glenn Beck]

It is a dead as a doornail. There is nobody who's coming up now and saying really much of anything about this. Trump has been really clear since the beginning, going back all the way to 2016, where he said, look, I'm not gonna go after these programs at all. And that's where we are. There are zero parties looking to cut this right now. Zero.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

There's not one. No one wants to do it.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But here's the question and the answer.

[Christian Welker]

What happens if it comes to your desk, has the tax cuts, but also cuts to Medicaid? Would you veto that?

[Donald Trump]

Well, we're not doing that. No veto would. If they were cutting it, but they're not cutting it. They're looking at fraud, waste and abuse. And nobody minds that if illegal immigrants are in the mix, if the people that aren't supposed to be there, people that are non citizens, are in the mix, nobody minds that waste, fraud and abuse. But we're not cutting Medicaid, we're not cutting Medicare, and we're not cutting Social Security.

[Glenn Beck]

This is not.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Over and over and over.

[Glenn Beck]

I guess the same thing he's been saying. I said 2016. It's really 2015.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Where he's been talking about this. I remember him being on the stage of one of those debates early on where there was still kind of strains in the Republican Party of wanting to reform these programs. And he was kind of seen as an outlier. He was like, no, I'm not doing it. And when everyone else is like, well, of course we'll make these. We'll cut these programs. Or they never use the word cut. They would just say reform, which essentially they would be talking about things. Paul Ryan did this back in the early Paul Ryan days where it was like, hey, we're gonna change maybe the retirement age.

[Pat Gray]

Right. Right.

[Jeffy Fisher]

To reflect reality and the retirement from 65 to 68 or 70 or whatever it was.

[Glenn Beck]

And they were the most.

[Jeffy Fisher]

They don't even do that now.

[Glenn Beck]

Proposals. Right. It was like, if you're, if you're born today, then you will have no change whatsoever. But in 70 years from now, we're going to extend. It's like all this stupid stuff, and it's like they weren't even hardcore reforms back then. But Trump was very outspoken about opposing even that.

[Jeffy Fisher]

The last time I remember actual reform being discussed by Republicans was under George W. Bush when he was talking about privatizing it. And we blew that completely. Would have been so greatly. Oh, it would have been so great.

[Glenn Beck]

I was just going over something. This is before vacation. Was just going over this because there was some. I don't know if it was an anniversary or something of when he first proposed that Social Security reform, which was again, genteel. It was like you could take 10% of your. So I think it was 10% of your. Of the money that was going into Social Security and you could put it in an account to invest it in the market.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But you didn't have to. You didn't have to remember that if you don't want to do this, you don't have to do it. But you, if you want to privatize all or some of it, you can.

[Glenn Beck]

And it was not available to people who would have been great, really close to retirement. So people were like, you know, a few years after that was the 2008 collapse.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah. Like, oh, what would have happened?

[Glenn Beck]

Nothing. Because the way the bill was written, you couldn't have been in the program for the 2008 collapse. In fact, they went back and looked at it every single year it was available every single year. Even then. You're retiring in 2020. Every single year it was available. It would have worked out for the people who would have joined it. And of course, it only gets better and better as time goes on. But we didn't do that. We didn't do it because people are. They're gonna cut Social Security.

[Jeffy Fisher]

They had a fit about it back then and they convinced everybody. They scared the crap out of them. They fear mongered like they always do, and, and scared the crap out of elderly people. Like, it's gonna. You're gonna lose it. You're gonna. No, no. Are you listening to what's being said?

[Glenn Beck]

No, no. Again, I, I am not a fan of these programs. I don't, I don't like them at all. I think the idea that FDR came along with this bs. Well, it's actually like your own savings account thing that they did to get the government more money.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Why Don.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, exactly. It's supposed to be your own responsibility. You can join a program like this if you want. Of course, People don't always choose that and they certainly wouldn't choose this type of program that they get offered from the government, which is terrible, horrible returns. And by the way, all the money you put in there is spent immediately. It's not saved. There's no saving, there's no returns because the money has been spent on people who are retired now. And it's totally insolvent program that everyone knows is a disaster. But let's all pretend like we should protect it until the end of time because let's pretend to. Let's make it, let's all seem like it's a good idea to protect a program that we all know is failing in front of our eyes. But let's do it because polls like it. People like when they get money, when they get checks in the mail. And again, that's not to say that there's no program for elderly people who are in the situations that the program was originally designed for. People who had their spouse die and they're sitting there long after they're able to work and need assistance. That is something totally different than the program that we have today.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah, it is totally different.

[Glenn Beck]

It's a long term paid retirement plan with money that we don't have.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And in 2032 or 2033, when this thing goes belly up, we're going to wish we'd done something long before that time to save it.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. And what they will of course just do is say that we don't want to reform it and they're going to just add to our taxes. You know, we'll just, that's what they'll have to do. We'll wind up doing is our children will wind up bailing it out or something at some point, but. Or we'll just continue to just continue to print money and inflate our way out of the.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Well, there's that too. Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

So again, there's no good options here. And I think, you know, President Trump has, I think, recognized the political realities of the situation.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Which is that no one likes the things that we're saying currently, which I get. I mean, you know, you have to. Look, the reason why the Democrats say this crap all the time is because it's effective. When people get scared they're going to lose their programs, they vote for the.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Other guy every time.

[Glenn Beck]

Or in the most recent election, the other lady. That's how it works. And so I understand why this happens. It is a real problem though, when we talk about, look, Doge 97,000 Elon Musk's could not touch the problem that we're talking about when it comes to these programs. These programs are what is completely upending our budget. And I don't care how much fraud, waste and abuse that you go after, you're never going to be able to get to the core of our financial problems if you don't go touch these programs. That being said, what he is offering to do here is not touching these programs. He's saying, look, we're not gonna give Social Security benefits to illegal aliens or dead people. Or dead people or people who haven't been born for another hundred years. Those types of things. It seems rational.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It does, it does. But it's not to the left for some reason. But they also discussed, of course, tariffs and China.

[Christian Welker]

You're not dropping the tariffs against China to get them to the negotiating table. Those tariffs are staying on.

[Donald Trump]

Why would I do that?

[Christian Welker]

Would you lower them them at some point?

[Donald Trump]

I'm going to lower them because otherwise you could never do business with them. And they want to do business very much. Look, their economy is really doing badly. Their economy is collapsing.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

That's true. I mean a lot of people, we focus on the harms that have happened to the United States since all the stuff started, but it's really bad for China. I mean we are their market.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

So it is really hurting them a lot.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah. And they're going to have to, they're going to have to make a deal, you know, probably sooner than, than we do. Although they hold some cards. They're, they're not like, they're not like Volodymyr Zelensky who have no cards. I mean they do have the medication card and they have the rare earth minerals card. And those are pretty impressive cards to hold at this particular time.

[Glenn Beck]

They also have the card that if they want, they can just let millions of their own people die. Which is an interesting cartoon.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And they play time to time frequently.

[Glenn Beck]

They'll just kind of play it throughout history. Hey, wait, but this, if you do this, 20 million of your people will die. So yeah, that's kind of been their answer historically. So we'll see if that changes at all. Because I mean they don't have the political pressures that our president has to deal with.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, it is one of those things where they, there's that kind of standard trope of, well, the Middle east and the Chinese think things in much longer terms. They don't think of it in two to four year cycles like our political.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Environment, like centuries in advance.

[Glenn Beck]

Exactly. At the Very least a decade. And I think they think they can hold out longer than us. At some level this is a beneficial relationship between us. Both countries do benefit. Benefit at some level in certain areas, at least from this relationship. I would much rather be in business with a country like India. Me too. If we can get somebody friendly toward us, someone friendly towards us to make our stuff. And some of it doesn't make sense. I think everybody acknowledges not everything needs to be made in the United States. We don't need to be North Korea. North Korea has everything mostly at least insular and, and made within their country. You'd be surprised to hear that it's not going well. Have you ever seen the overhead picture from the satellites of North Korea and South Korea? That's what happens when you have absolutely no relationships outside the country. That's not to say that everything needs to be moved here. That's not what Trump is even arguing. But it is a situation where if we have these, the tariffs at this level are essentially an embargo. Right. Like we're just not going to have any relationship at all. Like I was listening to some guy who runs a shoe company and I guess they do their manufacturing in China and they charge I think $175 for their high end shoes or whatever they are. And with the tariffs, they're now going to be like $350 of tariffs on each pair of shoes.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Wow.

[Glenn Beck]

Because I think the shoe, his shoe, he said the percentage was 175% or something like that. Because different. Everyone's saying it's 145. It's different in all different areas. Squid is super high. If you're importing your squid from China. Oh my gosh. The squid prices pat. I don't know if you.

[Jeffy Fisher]

We don't have any squid in our cookies. So Kexi doesn't have a squid cookie. Not a single squid cookie. So.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, that's, that's okay then. You'll be okay.

[Jeffy Fisher]

What a relief.

[Glenn Beck]

But all your competitors, which by the way, I don't know if people know this, all other cookie companies, most of it is squid.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Most of the recipe. The batter is made of squid. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Yeah.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I'm not positive on that.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm not gonna name the companies for legal reasons, but like most of them just import Chinese squid and put it from the shores of Wuhan right directly into their cookies. Even though there's not really shores and they put them directly into the cookies. That's why, that's why I Prefer Kexi.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Thank you.

[Glenn Beck]

Myself, Pat. I don't know, I just don't want to eat squid.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Completely squid free. Wow, really? Yeah. Every cookie squid free.

[Glenn Beck]

It's quite a statement.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I hope promise that I solidly make.

[Glenn Beck]

You cleared that with legal.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I did.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay, good. Because. But if you're, if, if you're going with the other cookie guys, wow. Your process through the roof.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yep.

[Glenn Beck]

It's wuhan squid all day long.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Triple 8, 7, 27 back more in one minute.

[Jeffy Fisher]

All right. There was more discussion about tariffs with between President Trump and Kristen Welker on Meet the Press yesterday. Here's. Here's how that went, sir.

[Christian Welker]

You acknowledge when you announced your tariffs, for example, the stock market dropped. It's been volatile. It has since gone up. Do you take responsibility for that? Yeah. Do you take responsibility when it drops?

[Donald Trump]

Ultimately, I take responsibility for everything. But I've only just been here for a little more than three months. But the stock market, look at what's happened in the last short period of time. Didn't it have nine or 10 days in a row or 11 days where it's gone up and the tariffs have just started kicking in and we're doing really well psychologically. I mean, the fake news was giving me such press on the tariffs. The tariffs are going to make us rich. We're going to be a very rich country.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Okay. All right. I like it. And yes, the stock market's been up nine straight days, I believe. Right. Isn't that. I don't know where the futures market is headed right now, but it was up for nine straight days and it's nearly made up for the losses that it had from the beginning.

[Glenn Beck]

So when are we measuring this? From the.

[Jeffy Fisher]

From, from the beginning of the losses.

[Glenn Beck]

So the beginning of the losses. I would not say that that's.

[Jeffy Fisher]

We're not, we haven't.

[Glenn Beck]

We. So if you go, I guess if you go to the be. If you go to the beat. I'm just looking at the chart here as we're speaking. I was on vacation last week, so I did not follow the markets at all. Do people do that? Do people follow the markets when they're on vacation? I don't know.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I do not try not to. I.

[Glenn Beck]

But yeah, I guess if you're kind of going from April 1, which was. He put them on April 2. Right. They went into effect April 2, which would not hold some of the previous losses into. Wouldn't count those. But if you kind of just take it from that day, it was at 40, let's see, 42,000 and we're back to 41,000.

[Jeffy Fisher]

So it's close.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, it's pretty close. It was as low as 38.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Okay. But it was as high as what, 45 at one point?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, it was earlier. Yeah, 45.

[Jeffy Fisher]

So yeah, we're a little off of that Mark.

[Glenn Beck]

Sure. I mean we're well off of the highs. But, but you know, from when these things kicked in, they've regained most of their losses, which is great.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That is great. And hopefully that will continue.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, again, like, I think it's a fair thing. You know, when the markets were down, Trump was saying, well, you can't just look at the markets, which I think is fair. I mean, I mean it's, it's absolutely, it is a, it's a long term projection of where the economy is going, not necessarily what's important on a day to day. Right.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, you have to look at those things in longer term, I think.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Chunks and, and we all knew that, okay, initially there's going to be some pain, you know, prices, some prices are going to go up on some things until we reach some deals and things kind of even out. So yeah, initially there's going to be some problems and there's going to be a little volatility in the market market and prices are going to go up and they're, I mean the thing now is that he just said over the weekend that Instead of getting 30 dolls for your kids for Christmas, you might get two or three. Meaning that the toy manufacturing that. That is done in China is going to slow down for us. So if you're looking for Christmas gifts, now might be a good time to get them.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, we haven't seen any of the price increases yet. I mean, no, I don't think so, largely. And we saw this in the economic report that came out with the GDP being down. Part of that was a lot of people importing goods in advance of the tariffs. Right. So people loaded up. I've talked to a couple of business owners who are like, we just loaded up on stock. So we just filled our warehouse with stuff pre tariff, which will last us a couple of months before these prices start going up. And then they're gonna have to start dealing with it. So, you know, that's. Those are all. It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be an interesting time. It'll be fun.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That's a good way to look at it. It's gonna be fun. It's an adventure.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Jeffy Fisher]

All right. I feel adventure.

[Glenn Beck]

Glenn turned me onto that approach a couple years ago, and it works for me every time.

Week, triple eight seven two seven, Beck been going over some of the things the president had to say on Meet the Press yesterday with Kristen Welker. Keeps going on these shows. At least they can't say he's ducking them because he's not.

[Glenn Beck]

No, he loves this stuff.

[Jeffy Fisher]

He, he does love this.

[Glenn Beck]

I, he loves, you know, defeating these people.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

It's, it's like, I feel like with him, it's like he has his job and then I think we all have, like, things that we do on the side for fun. This is what he does on the side for fun.

[Jeffy Fisher]

This is like, I think that' accurate.

[Glenn Beck]

He just likes it.

[Jeffy Fisher]

He does. Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

He likes torturing these people and he does it well. He does do it well. He does.

[Jeffy Fisher]

He was asked about the possibility of a recession. Here's what he had to say about that.

[Christian Welker]

Some people on Wall street have expressed concerns that the possibility of a recession is increasing. And I want to know what you think about that. Are you comfortable with the country potentially dipping into a recession for a period of time if you are able to achieve your long term goals?

[Donald Trump]

Well, you know, you say, some people on Wall street say, well, I tell you something else. Some people on Wall street say that we're going to have the greatest economy in history. Why don't you talk about them? Because some people on Wall street say.

[Jen Psaki]

This is what I'm getting at.

[Christian Welker]

That's what I'm getting at, though.

[Donald Trump]

There are many people on Wall street say this is going to be the greatest windfall ever happened.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Love that. Because she doesn't ask it that way because that wouldn't be a negative spin on it.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Jeffy Fisher]

So that's. Could talk about the negative Wall street people who say that we could go into a recession or, or a depression. That's what she wants to hear about. It's agonizing every time, but he turns it around nicely.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I mean, again, I don't, I don't know that, you know, when, when he's, when he got in trouble for saying back in the day like, oh, they're not sending us our, our best across the border. If you remember that controversy. I think the same thing is applying to the media these days. I mean, this can't be their best, right? Like, this is. This is.

[Jeffy Fisher]

No, this is what they keep throwing at him.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, apparently. But he really, I think, does just relish these moments.

[Jeffy Fisher]

No, I think you're right.

[Glenn Beck]

It's like a nice distraction from him, which I would assume is a very difficult job of being actually President of the United States. And this is part of the gig, but it's the fun part of the gig.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Gig for him. It is.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Jeffy Fisher]

He likes a lot. Don't like it.

[Glenn Beck]

No.

[Jeffy Fisher]

A lot of people would not enjoy this particular aspect of it.

[Glenn Beck]

I think it's smart.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Biden never wanted to be challenged, that's for sure.

[Glenn Beck]

No. And, you know, Trump didn't do an awful lot of this during the campaign. Interestingly, they sent J.D. vance out to these. Most of these interviews, and Trump did a lot of the podcast stuff, if you remember, during the campaign, which was also a very workable strategy. Worked really well. I mean, J.D. vance was really good in these moments, and Trump was, I think, really likable in the podcast. You know, so they could go back to that whenever they feel like it. But, I mean, he wants to dip his toes into. You know, I think this is just, you know, this is the stuff that I think he loves. He loves this sort of jousting.

[Jeffy Fisher]

He got a little help, too, from an unexpected source on Bill Maher. Kevin McCarthy appeared, and Bill Maher was kind of talking the president down and the economy down, and Kevin McCarthy. McCarthy kind of jumped in and really defended him also.

[Kevin McCarthy]

The first hundred days. And, you know, this is traditionally what they call the president's honeymoon. You know, presidents do big things in the first hundred days. Obama did Obamacare. Biden had the infrastructure thing. Because you really. You get a brief honeymoon.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Kevin McCarthy]

So this is the honeymoon. What is the rest of this marriage gonna look like? Because I just want to read something of the stats. I read some of them in the monologues. 7% is the S&P 500 is down. Economy has shrunk for the first time in three years. Value of the dollar is down 10%. Consumer confidence down. Trucking volume starting to tank. Jamie Dimon says the best case scenario is a recession. UPS is cutting 20,000 jobs because they expect less packages to be delivered. Delivered. Even McDonald's is down 3.6%. Goldman Sachs says we will experience the lowest economic growth and the highest inflation of any big boy country in 2025. Even empty seats at Beyonce's concert. I guess what I'm asking is Kevin So everybody knows something except Trump, or is it the other way around? We're all wrong and he's got it right.

[Peter Singer]

We're not all wrong, but this is the point. A couple things you didn't mention. This is a stock market up for the first time nine straight days. That's only happened eight times in the last 25 years, up from where it was way down. But you haven't been every single day for nine straight days. That's only happened 31 times in 97 years.

[Kevin McCarthy]

And why did that happen, I'm asking?

[Peter Singer]

Well, I think we've gotten over that. We, we know the tariffs are a negotiation. It's not going to stay this way. I think people are seeing the investment coming back. You look at the jobs numbers today, it surpassed the second time. And if you read into the job numbers, yeah, jobs were 9,000 jobs were cut in government, but the private sector has grown. So this, he's doing a disruption. But you're seeing kind of a little light at the end of the tunnel.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Now.

[Peter Singer]

If they get in the next six, 60 days, a couple trade agreements, I think you're going to see this market take off.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That's an unexpected place to find a little support for the president.

[Glenn Beck]

Although Trump backed McCarthy in that battle.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That is true, he did.

[Glenn Beck]

They weren't enemies. He was more of an enemy, I think of the rank and file. A lot of the conservative members of Congress didn't like him very much and a lot of some conservative voters didn't like him very much. But him and Trump got a lot of history.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah, he did support him for Speaker.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, did support him for Speaker. Did support him in that battle with Shawn, obviously going to Johnson later. We don't know. This is why you just can't freak out about this stuff. Look, I don't know that the stock market being up for nine days is that big of a deal. Frankly, I don't think it was a big, big deal when it went down either. I think it evens out. It evens out. I think, look, there's a long term approach here that you have to take. I think if you really want to know about the long term health of the economy. Now, again, tariffs are not my favorite policy. We've been clear about that for many, many years. But I don't think that it's not the type of thing that when you're talking about a long term economic destruction, you can have that type of policy. If what McCarthy's saying is accurate, that this is just a negotiation. And I don't Know if, Do you think, Are you comfortable with that analysis of the situation yet, Pat? Like this is just gonna be a negotiation, this is all gonna go away? I mean, that's not what Trump is saying.

[Jeffy Fisher]

No, it's not.

[Glenn Beck]

Where are we getting that from?

[Jeffy Fisher]

We're just guessing, I think. I don't know where that's coming from.

[Glenn Beck]

I know we're hoping there have been like rumblings sometimes. Besant kind of seems like he's saying that it's just a negotiation.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But Trump kind of put that to rest over the weekend when he, when he said, look, these are permanent in most cases because otherwise why are they gonna move their manufacturing plants here?

[Glenn Beck]

Exactly.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Himself.

[Glenn Beck]

He said it himself a lot of times. And I feel like there is a contingency on the right that doesn't particularly like tariffs and is convincing themselves that this is what he's doing. But when he's saying the opposite, I mean, he seems to be dedicated to this idea that you can bring these jobs back or at least some of them back. And if that is true, that doesn't happen in a week or two weeks or nine straight days. It happens over 10 years.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And if that's what he's trying to do, which is what his stated goal is, he keeps saying that he wants to do this, then I would say that these things probably are in effect for a long time. And forget the China one, because that one at 145%, I think seems so ridiculously high that it's likely that it won't stay there. I think it's likely that one comes back down to earth. But the others, where you've got 10, 20, 30% on various industries, probably stay. They probably stay and are probably just eventually long term price increases that the economy's gonna have to deal with. That's not something that's gonna destroy the economy and make all of us have no jobs, but it's gonna be a strain on the economy. It's gonna slow things down. And if it doesn't, then jobs don't move. Right. You can't have both of those things. Right. It's not like, oh, well, it's going to bring all this money in and also it's a negotiation, it's gonna bring all these jobs back. But actually we're gonna dissolve it in two weeks. None of that, those things don't make sense together. And I feel like there's what Trump is saying and what a bunch of Republicans who don't like the Trump policy are saying, like McCarthy, I would put into that category. He probably isn't a tariff guy and I don't remember exactly, but I don't think he, he's been a tariff guy, been on record being super supportive of that policy. So the people who don't like it are just kind of self internalizing this thing that it's just a negotiation. I don't think there's some odd evidence to support that. I hope it is, by the way, I hope it is just a negotiation and we get great deals out of it and we can kind of go on and things improve. But that doesn't seem like that's what Trump is doing. At least, at least, you know, he.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Wants, judging by the words that comes out of his mouth, he, he wants things to be made in America again, which is, and I think that's his ultimate goal, a great goal.

[Glenn Beck]

I think it's a legitimate goal and a heartfelt goal.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I think it is. You know, he loves America, he wants things to be made here and it's a reasonable goal. I, you know. And what other way is there to reach that goal than what he's doing right now?

[Glenn Beck]

Well, one way I would say is incentivize. Incentivizing, right. Not just. And I think that is, by the way, part of his plan. It just hasn't had the attention that the other part has. And I think incentivizing and making business better to do here rather than worse to do overseas, they both kind of work in conjunction, but it's certainly a much more politically. We were talking about the Medicare stuff earlier. There's a political way to go there that is beneficial to you. I think, I think with both of these things being part of his policy, the more emphasis he can put on saying, hey, we're gonna cut taxes for companies coming in here, we're gonna make business to. And he's doing that and he is doing it, but it's not getting the attention and a lot of that's the media. But a lot of it is he likes tariffs too. So he talks about them a lot.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And mentioned the fact that he does like tariffs.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, basically what he's saying is we're going to increase taxes, taxes on companies doing business overseas and we're going to decrease taxes on companies doing business here. Only one of those two policies is getting any attention right now. And I think for his political benefit, I mean like we're at a situation now where very quickly people are saying this is. If you remember, I always remember this with George W. Bush, cuz they would always say that's still Bush's fault. Like three years into the Obama administration, we're like, really? He's still running the economy. Think about that. How long did that go on? Two, three years after?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Even longer.

[Glenn Beck]

Even longer. I mean, even into, if I remember into his second term, people were still saying this is actually Bush's fault. The American people have already said now, this is the Trump economy in poll.

[Jeffy Fisher]

After poll after poll in three months.

[Glenn Beck]

In three months. It's already now, again, a lot of this is the media, but Trump's already got responsibility to the American people on this one. And when you think about all the really good things that we talk about all the time that Trump is doing and wants to do, protecting that economic wall is really important when it comes to your presidency. He knows that obviously. But that's why I just think emphasis wise talking about those really good things he's doing on the regulation side and on the tax side and the business environment side here in America is really crucial for him to make that transition here at some point.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I think so, too.

[Glenn Beck]

And I don't know if it's the big beautiful bill that does that, but that is, I think, right around the corner to me. The sooner the better.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Triple eight seven two seven BECK More coming up.

[Stu Burguiere]

You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences. There's rough terrain ahead. Saddle up, my friend, and stay tuned. Glenn Beck will be right back.

[Glenn Beck]

[Pat Gray]

Did you know that just like here in the US Israel celebrates their Independence Day? In case you missed it this year, Israel's Independence Day was just a few days ago on May 1. But for the people of Israel, freedom is really nothing more than a daily struggle just to survive. There's no real peace, only terror. It's difficult to find moments of joy while there's so much suffering. And the Israeli government relies on the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews for its ongoing help to make sure the elderly, the sick, the wounded, soldiers and impoverished families don't fall through the cracks. We can't even imagine the courage of the Israeli people. They're so brave and worthy of our prayers that we'd like to ask you for a gift to the fellowship today.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Back Wednesday.

[Glenn Beck]

Although I will say I think he's been working a lot because he posts more on social media when he's on vacation than when he's off of.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It does seem that way.

[Glenn Beck]

How do I know everything about his vacation already? Yeah, I don't even have to ask him any questions. What'd you do? Where'd you see? I don't know. He was in Italy and he did all sorts of really incredible things there.

[Jeffy Fisher]

He's been shopping. They've gone all over the country.

[Glenn Beck]

He takes vacations differently too than I do. One interesting thing I Noticed from Glen's vacation pictures is he's never taking them. There's always somebody else, some other. Is he being stalked? I'm concerned. There's always someone there taking pictures of him walking through a shop. Shop.

[Jeffy Fisher]

You'd almost think he's got people do people with him. You'd almost think that, right? But I'm sure he's just getting another tourist and.

[Glenn Beck]

Hey, would you.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Would you mind photographing us?

[Glenn Beck]

Hey, I'm gonna. Me and my wife are gonna walk through this store. Will you take a pictures of us from behind? Sure. That's happens all the time.

[Jeffy Fisher]

All the time? All the time.

[Glenn Beck]

It does seem like a nice trip, though. I will say it seems like it does seem nice. You know, Glenn's done well with him with us, especially considering the middle of level of talent he has. It's incredible that he's been able to achieve all the things that he has. Is it?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah, it is.

[Glenn Beck]

Radio hall of Fame member. Did you know that?

[Jeffy Fisher]

What?

[Glenn Beck]

He's in the Radio hall of Fame. He'll tell you about it if you ask him.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Really?

[Glenn Beck]

Or if you don't.

[Jeffy Fisher]

What if I don't want to hear it? He'll still tell me.

[Glenn Beck]

Let you know about it constantly. He tells people. I'm sure a bunch of Italian tourists heard the story.

[Jeffy Fisher]

They all know. All right.

[Glenn Beck]

I've gone through an entire week without having having to bust on Glenn. So I have to.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah, you got to get it out somehow.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I got to get it out. No one wanted to hear it on vacation. No one wanted to hear all my insults. There's almost no market for it at all outside of the show. What would I do in a weird show? My only marketable skill is making fun of Glenn.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And it's only really marketable right here.

[Glenn Beck]

Right here. Like in this room?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

Everywhere else.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That makes it difficult.

[Glenn Beck]

No one cares at all.

[Jeffy Fisher]

No.

[Glenn Beck]

I guess I could. I was going to the mainstream media. Insulting Glenn does pay off in the mainstream media. I could get a gig there, that's for sure. Perfect.

[Jeffy Fisher]

All right. 88727 Beck to get in touch with us today. If you'd like to do that much more coming.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is Glenn Beck.

[Glenn Beck]

It's fun to be back. Pat. I feel like I, you know, you get into that vacation mode a little bit, you lose the, you know, you're not following every little bit of news. You come back in, you jump right back into it.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It's fun and it's almost like you never left.

[Glenn Beck]

It's almost like you never left. Yeah.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It's great.

[Glenn Beck]

There's a lot to talk about. I will say there is never a shortage.

[Jeffy Fisher]

No.

[Glenn Beck]

There might be things that become scarce. It's not going to be news. There's plenty of that to talk about today. In fact, maybe we'll get into this at some point today. Trump doing something really positive on student loans. We're just making people pay them.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That is really crazy. Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I think it's unfair though. Pat. I listened to all this news coverage on this as over the past 24 hours that people who took out these loans may not have to pay them back. This could be rough for them.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Oh no. Could it?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But they agreed, they agreed to take course they did pay it back.

[Pat Gray]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

And many of them have the money to pay them back, have just decided not to pay.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But they'd rather spend it somewhere else.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, they'd rather do that.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

She's made up her mind to live pretty smart Learn to budget responsibly Right from the start she spends a little less and puts more into savings Keeps her blood pressure low and credit score raises she's cutting debt right out of her life she tracks her cash off Boring money moves make kinda lame songs.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But they sound pretty sweet to your.

[Glenn Beck]

Wallet the NC bank brilliantly boring since.

[Jeffy Fisher]

1865.

[Glenn Beck]

Stand your ground when times get down Gotta face the dog and embrace.

[Stu Burguiere]

The fire the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the Glenn Beck program.

[Jeffy Fisher]

With Pat and Stu today. Glenn's back on Wednesday. Triple eight seven two seven. Becky. Oh boy. Some some news on student loans. We'll share that with you. Also, Jen Psaki talking about how dangerous it is to say that people were covering up for Joe Biden and his mental decline. Just, it's dangerous to talk that way. So I guess stop talking that way. Even even though it actually happened and it's quite obvious and pretty much everybody's admitting it now. We'll get into that and lots more in one minute.

[Glenn Beck]

Right now, Jewish families in Israel are facing fear and violence and displacement on a scale we haven't seen in years. And in the middle of that chaos, there's one organization stepping up every single day. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They're not just sitting in offices drawing up plans, they're on the ground delivering food, bringing blankets, getting medicine to the elderly, helping children sleep in, safety basics. It's not easy there though. As you know, it takes resources and it takes a lot of prayer as well. And it takes people who are kind enough to care and stand with them when it counts. It's not about politics, it's about real people. People who need our help and they need it right now. When you give to the fellowship, you're not just sending aid, you're sending hope. And you remember reminding the people of Israel that they're not alone. Even the smallest gift can make a real difference. A warm meal, a safe place to sleep, a moment of peace in the middle of unimaginable fear. That's what your support provides. Show your support for Israel by making a life saving gift today. Call to make your gift at 888-488-IFCJ. It's 888-488-4325 or go online at supportifcj.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Support ifcj.org oh, you know who's mean? Donald J. Trump. Yeah, he's mean.

[Glenn Beck]

I've been hearing about that in the.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, even on vacation, Pat, that one broke through.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Well, it has to.

[Glenn Beck]

He's mean.

[Jeffy Fisher]

He's. He's actually making people pay back the student loan.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, geez.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That. They agreed to pay back.

[Glenn Beck]

What? And what did they do to get this punishment? Right.

[Jeffy Fisher]

All they did was signed a paperwork that said they got the money. Yeah, they got the money, they went to school, they graduated. Yeah, yeah. They built up this debt and now they're expected to pay it back.

[Glenn Beck]

Not all of it. No, not, not the agreed upon terms, of course. Obviously not.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Why should you pay back your entire debt? I mean, who, who even believes you should do that?

[Glenn Beck]

No, that's, there's.

[Jeffy Fisher]

What kind of cretin would you have to be? Is it cretin or Cretan?

[Glenn Beck]

I'm gonna go with Cre. Creighton.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I'm going with Cretan too. But cretin, I don't know, for some reason. Sounds even worse.

[Glenn Beck]

It sounds worse. Yeah, it sounds more judgmental.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It does. And it is, because these are kritins. That would make you pay back your entire agreed upon loan.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, well, and not everybody. We should be clear.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Not everybody.

[Glenn Beck]

Not everybody. No.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

Like for example, you know, if you don't have a job.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, then I don't have to pay back no income. Okay, you don't have to pay it back. Right. Right now. Oh, no, no, no, no.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That's. No, no, no, no, no, that's good.

[Glenn Beck]

In fact, you and they, they are going to limit how much of your salary you would have to pay back to, I believe, 15%.

[Jeffy Fisher]

So. Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

You, you know, if your payment would arrive, go above that 15%, you just don't pay that Extra part at this time. Okay. And by the way, we should also note, it is a minor distinction here. You have had five straight years of not having to pay.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

So that's, you know, I don't know what you could do with that there. If someone were to say, hey, you're just gonna suspend the payments for five years, perhaps you could utilize that time to build up a little bit of that money you would have given to the loan to put it aside to pay the loan back later. That's one approach. But as we know.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But that's crazy. That's nuts. You can't expect people to do that. They had to spend it on something they'd rather do along the way. You know, those last five years.

[Glenn Beck]

Exactly.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah. What if they wanted to go to a movie and go out to dinner or maybe go to the south of France with that money? You can't expect not to.

[Glenn Beck]

That's true. Right, right. You know, and I'm concerned, Pat, because of all this COVID 19 going around. Have you heard about this? It's a virus. Yeah, virus. It was started when a bat mated with a pangolin in a soup. I hate when that happens in a wuhan.

[Jeffy Fisher]

So it's bat pangolin soup.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, bat pangolin soup.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Delicious.

[Glenn Beck]

There was a mating ritual that occurred when they made the broth. It's not something you want to think about, I'll tell you that.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I don't. I really don't.

[Glenn Beck]

But somebody had a big old bowl of it and now.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And now they're spreading it all over the world.

[Glenn Beck]

Now it's a virus. It's all over the place. And luckily because of that, we took action and we said, hey, you don't have to pay your loans back until all virus goes away. I think was the plan. There's just. Wait. When there is no more sickness on earth, then you have to pay it back. But right now there's still sickness in this Donald Trump. Trump guy, who, by the way, is the person who implemented the initial policy.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Is saying maybe, maybe that policy is. Maybe we should stop that policy now that COVID 19 isn't really a factor.

[Jeffy Fisher]

In our lives anymore. Mean.

[Glenn Beck]

That's the best summary of it, Pat.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Thank you.

[Glenn Beck]

This guy is mean for making you pay your bills.

[Jeffy Fisher]

How dare he? How dare he now Did I get my education? Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes. Are you taking the benefits of that education and utilizing it in the workforce?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Sure, of course.

[Glenn Beck]

But of course that doesn't mean I.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Should have to pay it back.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Because that's a hardship on me. Now, Right. That gives me less.

[Glenn Beck]

Say, if you could prove financial hardship, you don't have to pay it back.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Oh, okay.

[Glenn Beck]

So that should be easy. Well, I mean, it should. Should be at least part of the process, I would say. Because what's happened now, Pat, is you have this pause for yes, and I'm being serious. It's for COVID 19 that you spent five years. Five years that you didn't have to pay your loans back. And of course, obviously, we all know that Joe Biden tried to unconstitutionally codify this and basically say no one has to pay their loans back.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And he ignored the Supreme Court order that.

[Glenn Beck]

Multiple times.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Multiple times.

[Glenn Beck]

And tried to put it in multiple different ways. And some of them have been overturned. Some of them have not yet been overturned. But a lot of them, the. These people who believe that their loans have been forgiven may have that reversed in the future.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Oh, no.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I know.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Well, it would suck.

[Glenn Beck]

Say that it would suck if someone came to your house and said, hey, by the way, your mortgage, you no longer have a mortgage. So you stop paying the mortgage and you move on with your life. You're like, wow, now I have this money. And then they come back and say, actually, your mortgage is back on. That does kind of suck for those people.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It does. It does.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, it's a ridiculous.

[Jeffy Fisher]

You shouldn't have been told your mortgage was off, you think, in the first.

[Glenn Beck]

When it was totally unconstitutional.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay. That's an interesting approach.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Now we're talking about. And you think about, I heard this stat this morning, which I couldn't believe because obviously, like, suck out all of my sarcasm here for a moment. And my belief that when you enter.

[Jeffy Fisher]

If we take out all the sarcasm, we don't have anything left.

[Glenn Beck]

We were just silent for the past eight minutes. Oops. So if you like sarcasm, this is the show for you. Yes, but let's suck out the sarcasm for a minute and suck out my. And I believe your as well, Pat, belief that when you enter into agreement, you should fulfill that agreement. Okay, so if you say, I'm going to take a loan out and get the benefits of that loan, perhaps you should pay it back. I just believe that's like a moral. Right?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Okay, Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

I just think that's the truth and that's the way our society should operate. But suck that out for a moment and think about, like, the real world situation. Right? You had a situation where the economy shut down. It was not necessarily a person's fault that they couldn't go to work. You Know like people, the government came to them and said, hey screw you guys, you can't go into the office anymore. And millions of people lost their jobs. True, right?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes. So not to there made sense at first.

[Glenn Beck]

It made sense for a while.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Right, okay, yeah, I can go with that.

[Glenn Beck]

Turn that back on. You probably do have some people, people who were unable to just restart their careers. This is one of the reasons why we oppose those policies by the way, back then. But like people who wanted to maybe can't jump back in to life at the same level. Maybe they have a lot of leftover bills in other areas where they still are paying. Maybe they had a job at a certain level of a company, the company had to close or they got fired, they can't get that same job. Like I think there is a.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Some of it makes sense.

[Glenn Beck]

Some of it makes sense. And even five years out there are probably cases where some relief would be understandable. Right?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

That being said, what percentage of people have started repaying their loans now? Think about it. There have been really good economic times, mixed in. Some industries have had really, really good times. Obviously some of them, the people who had loans in 2020 have succeeded, have moved on, have great jobs, are making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

What percentage of people have started to repay their loans that had them when, when the pause began? Any idea?

[Jeffy Fisher]

I, I would 20%.

[Glenn Beck]

I would think it would be 80.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Did you think 80?

[Glenn Beck]

Let's just think of like real world scenarios now. 80 is low because obviously 20% because.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Of the way you've set this up, I'm thinking pretty low, pretty low. Where my 20% is.

[Glenn Beck]

I believe the number is one third.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Okay, so it's about 30%.

[Glenn Beck]

About 30 to 33%. So now.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Okay, you're telling me.

[Glenn Beck]

I want to make sure I understand 67% of the people who had, who got a pause in it initially cannot make those loan payments. And the answer to that of course is no. A lot of them can make them. In fact, we know it because of the economic data. These people make plenty of money and can make these payments back and can make the payments. Why aren't they making the payments they don't want to when given the option? First of all, why would you pay them? Right. Like if people say hey, actually you don't have to pay them, most people are just not going to pay them.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And they've come to expect it now.

[Glenn Beck]

And they've come to expect it now because of Biden. That's true. And they've Been told that these are going to be relief. So they're probably sitting back thinking to themselves, well, what if these payments get forgiven later on? And that's the thing that I think is the central problem here, is that in reality, with all my criticism built in here, it's actually kind of dumb to have made payments because at any.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Point under these circumstances might be wasted. You're right. You're right.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

You're gonna give it to the system and then two weeks later they're gonna tell you you don't have to make any payments. Payments. I mean, if I were in that situation, I'd be like, well, wait a minute until they tell me I have to make them. Why would I make them?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

Especially when you've got one guy who's up on the stage until he became so dementia riddled, they just dropped him, telling you that they're going to be forgiven and you're never going to have to pay them. What happened to those people who paid their last payment in February 2020? All those people got screwed.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah, they did, right?

[Glenn Beck]

They got screwed. They paid back.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Which is what they said in the beginning.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Jeffy Fisher]

What about everybody who has faithfully paid back these loans because they were supposed to, and now they see everybody else being told, yeah, you don't have to, you don't have to worry about it. Well, are you going to pay me back my student loan?

[Glenn Beck]

No. Those people just get screwed.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yep.

[Glenn Beck]

And you know exactly Right. What is Trump doing with this approach? He's saying, hey, you know what? Not the truck driver's responsibility to pay for your college education. Education, which by the way, we should point out, is just a giant subsidy. This loan program in and of itself is a giant subsidy to what wind up being upper middle class people who get college degrees. Yeah, it's people who don't have college degrees paying for the education of people who will wind up being their bosses potentially later on. Which makes absolutely no sense, man. It is an absolutely ridiculous.

[Jeffy Fisher]

So do we know what the exact percentage of people who will be asked to pay it back is?

[Glenn Beck]

It's not 100%. I mean, it's not.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Certainly not 100.

[Glenn Beck]

Basically, if you can go to the government and say, I have financial.

[Jeffy Fisher]

You have some sort of hardship.

[Glenn Beck]

I can't do this. You have to.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But it won't be forgiven forever though, right? You'll just be given a grace period.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. And at least in theory.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

But again. And Trump is probably the only guy who would do this. This. But what politicians have the balls to step in and say okay, well no, you have to pay it now. Like usually what happens is they say well okay, we'll give you more time. That's usually what happens. What we're going to do is just print more money or borrow it from.

[Jeffy Fisher]

China because the mainstream media will paint you as mean as they have. You're mean. And they have and they will. So. But if there's anybody who can stand up to that, it's Donald J. Trump. Triple eight seven two seven back more coming up in one minute.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It'S Pat and Stu for Glenn. He'll be back on Wednesday. Triple 872-7 Beck Yes. Student loan thing is, is insane.

[Glenn Beck]

You were talking off the, we were talking a bit off the air there about what the payment is. So the way they have it set up is the maximum amount you would have to pay of your income is 15%.

[Jeffy Fisher]

So if you, no matter how much.

[Glenn Beck]

You make, no matter how much you make. So obviously if you make, you know, a million dollars a year, your payment, you'll, you'll make whatever payment you were scheduled to make initially, it's never going to go higher than what you were initially supposed to pay. But if you have, have a job that pays you $100 a month and that's it and you're only working a few hours, the most you can pay is 15, $15. That's it. So basically 15% is the maximum of your salary. So if you don't have a job, again, everybody in the media is like.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Oh, well, what about these people that.

[Glenn Beck]

Don'T have jobs can't make these payments. If you don't have a job, you literally can't make a payment because it's 15% of your income. So if you have no income, you can't make a payment at all. They will not require you to make a payment. Now, obviously there are people that have all their bills and other expenses. This is an expensive society and we had to go through Bidenflation. Right. This is a society that is strained when it comes to economics. If you just have to pay 15%, an additional 15%, essentially tax, as you might see it, on your income, it's gonna be a lot harder to make ends meet for a lot of people. So it's not that there's no impact here, but again, it's part of your, I don't know when you enter into an arrangement.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Well, this is where the whole the term predatory loans came in. Years ago, they started doing this predatory loan thing, like bank managers were going out into the street and putting a gun to people's heads and saying, you must take out a hundred thousand dollar loan for college. Okay, where do I sign?

[Glenn Beck]

These are the least predatory loans of all time. They're all at lower rates in the free market.

[Jeffy Fisher]

They all have to come from the government now, right?

[Glenn Beck]

A lot of them do, yeah, most of them.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Most, almost all of them are from the government. And so who's the predator here? I guess. Is the government tracking people down and forcing them to take out student loans? I don't think so. You know, as we've talked about so many times, the unfairness of this. There were so many people in the past who worked their way through college or worked leading up to college, or.

[Glenn Beck]

Decided they couldn't afford the loan and decided not to go to college and didn't get those benefits of that education, which again, the education at this point is somewhat questionable when it comes to benefits. But the accreditation certainly is there. If you get that degree, it certainly can help you in the workforce. Whether it helps you in regular life or whether you actually got educated at the university seems to be unrelated to the fact of whether you have the peer a piece of paper or not. But I mean, I think of how many people do that. I mean, that was one of the reasons I decided not to go that route. I was like, you know, it's so expensive. I don't want to be $100,000 in debt. I'd rather go into the industry that I want to be in, which I knew was this. So you have that approach.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And this. If you graduated from elementary school, you're pretty much over educated to begin with.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh my God.

[Jeffy Fisher]

In this particular industry, knowing words hurts you.

[Glenn Beck]

In this industry, certainly knowing how to pronounce them, as Glenn has proven right, if you know how to pronounce words or names, you can't go and get.

[Jeffy Fisher]

The Radio hall of Fame. No, no.

[Glenn Beck]

So that's a. The free pass to get into the Radio hall of Fame starts with mispronouncing everybody's name that you're currently talking to. It does in the middle of the interview.

[Jeffy Fisher]

So that's convenient for a lot of us.

[Glenn Beck]

It is. It's great for us.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Really.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, it's great for us, but it is a real thing. Like you make that decision. I remember thinking, because I used to listen to Rush Limbaugh and I would listen to him and I was a cool, really cool kid listening to Rush Limbaugh in high school. And I remember him talking about what a bad deal college wound up being for so many people. Because you take, you go at that point it was probably more like 30 or $40,000 of debt. But you take in all this debt, that is if I went on a credit card, it would be, everyone would know was a terrible idea. You wait, you put how much on your credit card? You put all this money on your life credit card and have to pay it back. You're starting in a hole. You're starting your entire life in a gigantic hole. So you better have like. I had a friend, I remember he went to like an engineering or some great engineering college. And it's like, okay, kind of makes like you can probably make a pretty smart bet that engineering degree is going to pay off into a life that you wouldn't be able to get into.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Get a really high salary.

[Glenn Beck]

Get a high salary and you can pay that back. And probably 10 years after you start your working life, you're probably ahead of the game. And that's great. It does happen for people in certain industries. But so when you talk about predatory lending, I would agree with you. You make your own decisions, you sign your own paperwork. But if there's any predator in that situation, it is the universities, these colleges that first of all benefit from this society, society wide idea that everybody has to go, no matter what you're trying to do with your life. And then they bring them in there and they give them a bunch of liberal nonsense. That gets them nowhere. It gives them a giant zilch when it comes to actual benefits. So they spend $100,000, get nothing out of it. Then they're at a regular job they could have had without the education, trying to pay back $100,000 debt, or if.

[Jeffy Fisher]

You'Ve gone to an Ivy League school, it's even worse as far as the indoctrination and the money invested, because now it's 200,000 or more.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is Glenn Beck.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, Easter may be behind us on the calendar, but the season of resurrection, season of hope, is still very much alive. And nowhere is that hope more visible than inside a preborn clinic where mother others on the edge of abortion are shown the truth, the beating heart of their baby. That's the moment everything changes. That's when fear gives way to courage and despair turns into new possibilities and life begins again. Preborn doesn't offer judgment. They offer ultrasounds. They offer support. They offer the kind of love that reflects the very heart of the Easter message, that every life matters, no matter how small. For just $28, you can sponsor an ultrasound sound that helps a mother choose life for her baby. And for many of these women, the single act of this really is the first time anyone's ever believed in them. New life and new hope is what Easter season is all about.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Stupid gear. Steve Das and me, Pat Gray. Listen to all your favorite conservative [e-mail] promo code Glenn, Pat and Stew for Glenn, who's back on Wednesday. You know what we've been discovering ever since the election was that everybody, and everybody you, you would have expected to know about the decline of Joe Biden during his presidency, knew about the decline of Joe Biden during his presidency. Even though they denied it, they lied about it the whole time. They covered it up. They kept telling us how brilliant he was and how active he was and how he's the best communicator in the White House and he's so sharp, nobody can even, even 20 year old interns can't keep up with this man. And then everybody afterwards admitted the lie, including Ron Klain, his chief of staff, who said that he couldn't even comprehend what was being said at that debate. Wow. Where were you then?

[Glenn Beck]

Is that a problem? Do you want your president to be able to comprehend a lot of stuff?

[Jeffy Fisher]

I'm a little picky that way. Probably. I'm probably more. More picky than the average person. I. I'd say yes. I do want my president to understand virtually everything said at a debate.

[Stu Burguiere]

Wow.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Virtually all. Really? Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

That's a. Yeah. That's a crazy standard.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It's a high bar. I know, I know. I realize it. It really is.

[Glenn Beck]

You probably want people to pay their student loans back.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I do.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. That's what I figured. Okay, now I understand you. You're just one of those.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Now you know, I'm kooky. Right wing white supremacist, mean and mean. Mm. Which may be the worst of all. I'm just mean. Well, Jen Psaki talked about Biden's mental decline and here's what she had to say about that.

[Jen Psaki]

I left in May of 2022 just for the facts here. And I. I have seen Biden once since then when I took my daughter to the holiday party this last December after he had lost. And so I hadn't seen him in person during that period of time. I never saw that person, not a single time. And I was in the Oval Office every day that was on that debate stage. I'm not a doctor. Aging happens quite quickly. Were things that people saw during that period of time that were similar to that or would have been in a category of that. I don't know, possibly.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jen Psaki]

And all these books are going to tell us.

[Glenn Beck]

Do you think that they were. Were they actively covering it up? Were they sort of in denial? Or was it. Or is it. Or was that just a bad debate? Like, what is your read on?

[Jen Psaki]

Well, this is what I mean about. COVID up is a very loaded term, I think.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, it means you knew that it was really bad and you're pretending otherwise versus you're deluding yourself, which I think is what people do a lot.

[Jen Psaki]

Well, I understand, but I still think it's like cover up is often like a crime.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Jen Psaki]

We're talking.

[Pat Gray]

People use that term.

[Jeffy Fisher]

They say it's worse than the term.

[Jen Psaki]

People use that term as they relate to Watergate or the covering of not sharing public information about a war.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. And I'm not accusing anybody of a.

[Jen Psaki]

Crime, but other people have used that term and I think it's a bit of a dangerous term.

[Glenn Beck]

It's not a dangerous term. It's an accurate term.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes. It's the truth. People covered up for him and they're admitting that now. They're saying, yeah, it was bad. We knew in the. In the circle that he was bad. He just wasn't the same. He declined. Well, okay, now it's bordering on treason. Because you. You were saying the whole time that he was fine, that everything was great, that he's sharp as attack. I mean, that borders. To me, that borders on treason. When you're talking about the chief executive of this country. It's unbelievable.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. And I think, you know, Psaki herself has a. Has some plausible deniability here in that when people acknowledge. Everybody acknowledges all these problems happened with Biden. She was gone for multiple years. Now, I of course, believe these happened long before that, while she was there. I don't believe the evidence of it. Yeah. I don't even think it's close call recall. We all saw before he was even elected that he had lost a step or 12 in that process. So I don't buy her answer here. However, she probably has some plausible deniability as opposed to people who were actually there with him every day during that period. Right.

[Jeffy Fisher]

The Ronclanes of the world.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. I do think that I'm totally fine with at least discussion of what crime was committed there. If I'll say this. If there was no crime committed, we need to change the law.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah. It's not the truth.

[Glenn Beck]

Because we can't. This cannot be an ongoing thing.

[Jeffy Fisher]

No.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, we saw it back in with the Woodrow Wilson days where he wasn't even president. His wife was basically running the country.

[Jeffy Fisher]

He was literally in a coma.

[Glenn Beck]

In a coma for part of the period.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

The same thing basically happened here.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It was a waking coma.

[Glenn Beck]

It was a waking coma. But basically, Dr. Jill Biden was president for a time.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

It seems at the very least, we need a full investigation to know what the hell happened there. I want to know everybody who took steps to, using this term, very accurately, cover up what was going on. But by the way, they've now admitted they were doing.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

Over and over, over and over. Have admitted that they were doing things. Things to make sure we didn't know what was going on. They would take steps to hide from the American people what lapses he was having.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I mean, that's despicable. And again, it blurred. Treason.

[Glenn Beck]

It should be illegal.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah, absolutely it should. The American people had a right to know that their commander in chief was compromised mentally like that. And we saw it the whole time. And it wasn't just since 2022, as she was alluding to, because we saw it all during the campaign in 2020, 2019 and 2020. He was not the same guy he was back in 2008 when he ran. He just wasn't. He was, he was half gone at least the entire time.

[Glenn Beck]

Am I wrong too, Pat, to think that this should be a bigger issue? I care. It should be a lot more about what happened during that Biden, at the end of that Biden presidency or throughout the Biden presidency when it comes to covering this stuff up than I do what happens to some potential gang member who was taken to El Salvador prison. Now, again, we should get everything right. Everything in the country should go the perfect way, obviously, but it's not going to happen, first of all. But secondly, when it comes to focus, like I. Let me say another one here, Pat. Care a lot more about what actually happened behind the scenes during that Biden period than I do about the JFK situation in 2025. You know, a lot of things that we've spent a lot of time on, like there should be full out investigations going on as to whether we as a nation just suffered through a period, period where a president was unable to do his job and was. And people with names that we know actively took steps to hide it from us. That's way more important than about half the stuff we're talking about right now.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Very egregious. Yeah, it's egregious. And now, you know, you brought up the, the Maryland man, the father. The Maryland father. The same saint. Yes, yes, the, the Maryland man. It's interesting because they're, you know, he, they did all this without adjudication, without due process, and the administration is, is making some cases now that he did. There was a lot of due process because he had multiple court appearances. He was, he had a deportation order. He was deemed named a gang member by the courts not once, but twice. I mean, so there were things. The only thing that was really violated there maybe was the fact that he wasn't supposed to be deported right then back to El Salvador, back to that place, that actual place.

[Glenn Beck]

He should have been deported. But in theory, because of a court ruling that you can agree with or not agree with, he shouldn't have gone back to El Salvador, but he should have gone somewhere else.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes. And deporting people who are here illegally, legally is not a violation of the Constitution. And that's what they're trying to make out of it.

[Glenn Beck]

Now, are you sure, Pat?

[Jeffy Fisher]

I'm very.

[Glenn Beck]

It seems like it would be a violation of the Constitution to deport people who aren't supposed to be here. I can't even understand the arguments for the media anymore.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I know.

[Glenn Beck]

How could the Constitution possibly. If Constitution is essentially a framework for the nation to run, another framework for the nation to run are its law. The HAWS quite clearly would indicate when you say someone is seeing her illegally that removing them would be a rational. Sometimes you just need to have just come to. Rational thought should enter the conversation. They've entered the chat. Rational thought has entered the chat. Hey, when you come here illegally, you should leave.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It's quite a concept. I mean, that, that's, that's out there. That's out there always. Over the weekend, I saw a headline yesterday actually, about President Trump says he doesn't know if he has to follow the Constitution. I'm like, what? He. Did he say that? He actually, he actually said it in regard to whether or not we need to do due process on all the illegals that we deport from here on out. Like you're going to go to court. Court for a court action for a million or 2 million people or however many they've decided they're going to depart. You can't possibly do that. Which the left knows. And so they're trying to stop all deportation.

[Glenn Beck]

No, too. You, you don't like due process is a loaded term. Like they're trying to say basically every single person you deport has to come in for a full trial. That's not what the law guarantees at all. No, people are turned back all the time and removed from the country without any due process. But when you say without any due process, it's misleading. The due process is built into the law, which is you could just be removed. It's not in every circumstance. I don't believe it's in the circumstance of the guy that was sent to. What's his name? Kilmar. Oh, Brego Garcia. There was a due process he went through. Through and was not supposed to be sent to that country, which is something that, by the way, the Trump administration has acknowledged multiple times. The issue here is it wouldn't be that you'd be having millions of people going to individual trials over this, because that's not how the system operates. Like the law. Due process is the law. It's, in other words, essentially saying you need to follow the law and the law should be followed. But the law does not require millions of individual trials for every single person who Crosses the border.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It's silly. You couldn't possibly do that because the number they acknowledge is 11 million. Are you going to have 11 million trials for these? And really more like 20 or 30 million. And not all are going to be deported, but there's going to be a big number of them, according to the administration, and there's just. There's no way you can do that. But when they're here illegally, they're going to face deportation.

[Glenn Beck]

And I will note that. Easy, by the way, Pat, and I know you will agree with, with this. If they did do 20 million trials and they found 8 million people should be deported by those trials, what the media would do was say the trials were unfair, and they would say the law was horrible, and they would say you were destroying the lives of the people who went through those trials. Which, by the way, is essentially what they're doing with Garcia, which is, oh, well, he was deported to the wrong country. If he were to come back, back, and then they were to send him to name the third country, whatever one you want, Colombia. What they would say was unfair, that he was sent to Colombia, and it was horrible and it was unconstitutional. It's so ridiculously predictable. You understand why. I think a lot of the reaction from the Trump administration, even though they've acknowledged this was not the right way to handle this, is just like kind of shoulder shrug.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

It's like, what do you want us to do? You don't take your criticism seriously. You just say whatever's in front of you that benefits you at the moment. Right. Like whatever. Whatever argument will work for them in that particular moment. They just blurt it out. Even if it makes no sense, even if they know it's nonsensical, they'll just say it anyway.

[Jeffy Fisher]

We'll share a great example of exactly that coming up. Hang in there.

[Stu Burguiere]

They want you silent, obedient and blind. Shoot, here we are with open eyes and obedience of rebellious nature. Hold the line, my friends. Glenn Beck will be back in a minute.

[Pat Gray]

When you hear the term living better, what do you think about more money, bigger house, maybe a yacht? Or do you. You think how you feel physically, how you wake up every day, how you sleep, what activities you can and can't do. When you feel good, life is good. It's easy for us to take our health for granted until we can't. I came to that reality when I started feeling pain every day at about 45. And I started to lose hope until I found Relief Factor. Relief Factor is a daily supplement that fights Pain naturally developed by doctors. It doesn't just mask the pain temporarily. It helps reduce or even eliminate pain. In fact, the longer you take it, the more effective it is. Give their three week quick start a try. It's 1995, less than a dollar a day and it takes one phone call. 800 for relief. That's 800, the number four relief. Wherever you're hurting in three weeks or even days. Relief factor can give you a chance to rediscover the true meaning of living better again. Relief factor.com relieffactor.com 1, 800 for relief.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Great to have you with us. It is Pat and Stu for Glenn who returns on Wednesday. We were talking about how well Democrats lie. That just is a universal truth. I don't, I don't make universal truth. I just live by it. And that's one of the big truths in the universe. Universe is the Democrats lie constantly. Constantly.

[Glenn Beck]

And that's part of it.

[Jeffy Fisher]

If they're, if their mouth is moving, as the expression goes, they're lying. Which is interesting because James Carville shared some thoughts on why Democrats don't lie and he was actually serious about this.

[Donald Trump]

The other thing I would say, and.

[Glenn Beck]

I will say this repeatedly, people say to me all the time, James, why don't we just do like the Republicans do, just stand up and lie. Look at. Because people wouldn't stand for it if I stood up and lied.

[Donald Trump]

You would be the first person to say James Carville lost all credibility last.

[Glenn Beck]

Night when he said X, Y and Z. This is so not true.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Is that incredible shade.

[Donald Trump]

Everybody does that.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Donald Trump]

They just but like look you right in the eye and lie. And then our people say, well, we ought to lie like them.

[Glenn Beck]

No, we shouldn't because they would not do that.

[Donald Trump]

It would not go over well.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That might be.

[Glenn Beck]

That was so I really wish the.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Biggest lie he's ever told right there.

[Glenn Beck]

It would go over incredibly well. There's.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It would and it does.

[Glenn Beck]

It does. Even entire industry doing it constantly. So it would go over very well.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That is stunning.

[Glenn Beck]

That's. I really wish it was true though.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I do too.

[Glenn Beck]

I wish it was true.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But not nothing could be further from actual truth than that. That also over the weekend, whoever was running the White House account on X seemed to be having some fun. First, there were four simple truths that they pointed out could go to the four simple truths. One they have, they have a picture of of Kamala Harris. She is not president. Then just to the right in the next box is a photo of Abrego Garcia. Garcia Not a Maryland man in the lower left hand corner.

[Glenn Beck]

True. That's a good point. I hadn't even thought of that. He's, he's not even really a Maryland man. Like, he's not, he was not even supposed to be there.

[Jeffy Fisher]

They have the NPR logo, not real news. And then a photo of the. A map of the Gulf of America and it says underneath, not the Gulf of Mexico. So just some truisms for you there from the White House this weekend. We still have much more. Barely even scratched the surface on everything that was going on just over the weekend. More of that coming up.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is Glenn Beck.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Glad he finally said that. That, that's a good thing. Thank you, President Trump, for not trolling people on that particular issue because it just, to me, that discussion kind of plays into them saying he's never gonna leave. He, he intends to be a dictator.

[Glenn Beck]

He wants to stay there for forever.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Okay, now we just told you so. Are we gonna continue to have to deal with. Yeah, he's trying to stay there forever. I bet they'll, they'll still do it.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, because, you know, in three weeks he's gonna be like. Well, I am considering it, like a.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Lot of people want me to.

[Glenn Beck]

Of course he's going to. He. Well, I don't know what. I mean. That's just what he likes doing. Again. He likes doing it. And yes, it is gonna count, you know, again. I think he will. He will continue to play that game because he likes the game.

[Jeffy Fisher]

He does. Here's another example of how much he likes. It's the Pope. It's Donald Trump as Pope. Yeah, he's just trolling people with that. And he does enjoy it, quite clearly.

[Glenn Beck]

It's down the road where shadows hide till the dark on every side Stand your ground when times get down Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire.

[Stu Burguiere]

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

[Jeffy Fisher]

With Pat and Stu. Today. Glenn returns Wednesday. Triple eight, seven two seven, Beck. The White House has released an outline of the 2026 budget. We'll get into some of what's in that budget coming up in one minute.

[Glenn Beck]

There's a quiet kind of stress that settles in when your bills start to control you. It's not always loud or dramatic, but it is constant. The credit card balance that never seems to drop. The mortgage rate that looked fine a few years ago, but now feels like a trap. The slow realization that the money you work so hard for is being swallowed up before it even has a chance to build anything lasting. That's Where American financing comes in, they take time to understand your full financial picture, your income, your debts, your goals. And then they help you find a custom path forward that can actually make a difference, whether that means consolidating high interest loans, refinancing your home, or simply restructuring your budget with a little dream, a little dream of sanity in your fiscal life. They're here to help you make smarter decisions without the pressure. So give them a call. American Financing 8009-0624-4080-0906, 2440 or go to american financing.net it's american financing.net 800-906-244 nmlsconsumeraccess.org APR for Ritz in the five starts at 6.799% for well qualified borrowers. Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

[Jeffy Fisher]

So when was the last time the United States of America actually had a legitimate budget? We actually passed a budget.

[Glenn Beck]

Wasn't it before Obama?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes, I believe it was. 2008, 2009, I think that was the last fiscal year. Is that incredible? 15, 16 years ago. And so for them to even propose a budget, of course, that you're going to have weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth and that's what we've got here. But this budget apparently reduces non defense discretionary spending by 163 billion or 23% down from the 2025 inactive active enacted level. It guts a weaponized deep state while providing historic increases for defense and border security. It's the lowest non defense spending level since 2017. The savings come from eliminating radical diversity, equity and inclusion and critical race theory programs. Hard to believe we were hampered with that stuff to begin with. Green new scam funding, as they call it, large swaths of the federal government weaponized against the American people. Remove those moving programs that are better suited for states and localities to provide defense. Actual defense spending will increase by 13% and appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security will increase almost 65% to ensure that our military and other agencies repelling the invasion of our border have the resources they need to complete their mission. So there's an awful lot going on because again, we haven't had a budget in probably 16 years. They just keep doing the continuing resolution. They just keep raising the debt ceiling. And so we just keep spending ourselves into oblivion and then print more money, which diminishes the value of our money. So it's really, it's been irresponsible. It's been stupid, it's reckless. And in order to stop it, we're going to have to really take a stand here. And that's what he's trying to do with this big, beautiful bill. But some of the other highlights of it, they're going to defund the harmful woke Marxist agenda. Agenda. I like that. Every agency across the federal government was engaged in funding and advancing DEI and other radical, harmful ideologies, such as $315 million for grant programs to push intersectionality, racial equality and LGBTQIA. Two plus programming for preschoolers, housing grants that funded activities like equity audits to reverse land use patterns that have roots in systemically racist policies in Los Angeles county and addressing white supremacy in the STEM profession. Okay, a lot of white supremacy in the STEM profession. I wasn't aware of that, but I'm glad we're going to root it out.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's pretty obvious. You know, numbers are racist. You know that.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Oh, of course.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay, good.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Obviously it promises to secure the border, realign foreign aid, rebuild the military, achieve American energy dominance. So I guess that would mean more drilling for one thing. Make America healthy again. The MAHA program, Support our veterans, says preserve Social Security. Right. But you know, they're trying to get after your. They're going to, they're going to cut your Social Security, probably the whole program. That's what we hear from the Left.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Streamline K12 education funding, promote parental choice, make America skilled again. There is support in this bill for space flight. Let's see, they're going to allocate $7 billion for lunar exploration generation and another billion in new investments for Mars focused programs. Think we'll ever do that? Will we ever go to Mars? I'm starting to.

[Glenn Beck]

To doubt that Elon wants to go.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I know he does.

[Glenn Beck]

That's his big thing.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I know he does. It's been pushed back so many times, though. Yeah, it was supposed to happen in, I think like 2020, then 2024, then 2026.

[Glenn Beck]

But by who? The federal government.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Government, yeah. That's a good question too, because I.

[Glenn Beck]

Think like the, the possibility of us going to Mars basically lies on the shoulders of Elon Musk, not the. Like, if we're going to depend on the government to do it, we're never going to do it. He wants to do it. He's willing to bet his own resources on doing it. And so I do think eventually he will get it done, probably. But I mean, it's still going to be very difficult.

[Jeffy Fisher]

He also renamed that area in South Texas. Did you see that? Over the weekend they had a vote on whether or not to change. The name of the area is kind of unincorporated territory, but SpaceX has had that. They've built a ton of infrastructure there. They've got four launching pads and a bunch of employees. And they, they built a huge complex down there. And so they wanted to change the name to the. The City of Starbase. And that passed over the weekend. So you. You might expect it to, because out of the 240 some homes and dwellings in the area, all but 10 belong to Elon Musk and his employees.

[Glenn Beck]

So, wow.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Not a surprise.

[Glenn Beck]

It's one way to win an election. I like it.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes, yes.

[Glenn Beck]

By the way, on this front, I love the way this is spun in the media because you take the Elon Musk and the budget and they're talking about cutting all this stuff. And one of the complaints has been that they're cutting research. NIH research. Research. Now, the fundamental argument of the Trump presidency, right, when it comes to these issues was, hey, we should be doing real research on things. We should not be doing research based on LGBTQ DEI type stuff. Right. Like, these should be things that are. If they're going to do this research, it's got to be benefiting everybody. And it's not like, hey, what is. Let's do a. A research study on LGBTQ hamsters. And.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Well, you don't care about LGBTQ hamsters, just lgbt.

[Glenn Beck]

The Q hamsters. I'm not interested.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Queer or questioning hamsters.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't even know which one it is. Is it queer or questioning?

[Jeffy Fisher]

It's both.

[Glenn Beck]

The Q is for both.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Well, you got to add the second Q in there.

[Glenn Beck]

So LGBTQIA 2 + Exactly. Is the way I like to exactly make sure that gets you with everybody. Honestly. Good. Just do plus if you're going to use plus.

[Jeffy Fisher]

LGB plus would work.

[Glenn Beck]

Why not just plus?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Plus gets everybody. Of course, it might also get some.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Of those weird straight people and you don't want that.

[Glenn Beck]

That's just gross.

[Jeffy Fisher]

They're icky.

[Glenn Beck]

But so the fundamental argument of the Trump administration coming in is, hey, let's not base these on sexuality, race, gender. Let's just do things that. That are good for everybody. Good for everybody. Right. How did that. How does that. When he implements that, how does that get spun by the New York Times? Trump administration slashes research into LGBTQ health. Nearly half of NIH grants canceled through early May, together worth more than $800 million. Address the health of sexual and gender minority groups. Now, again, this was. His central argument, is that you shouldn't be doing research on this basis. So it would make sense that the stuff that he's cutting is the stuff like the LGBTQ hamsters. Right? That's the stuff he's saying is a problem, but they're flipping that around and saying he's targeting these groups, which is of course not what he's doing. He's saying everyone should. Should benefit from this research, not just specific groups. This is not the type of research you need to do. Let's do research that benefits everybody, not just specific groups like this. But when you. I mean, if you want to twist it, you can always come up with a negative headline. And that is seemingly the entire business of the media these days.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes. Yes, it is. Some other things that this budget will do is maintain support for tribal needs nations, which I've been arguing for forever now. Forever. Not just the Lumbee tribe, but every tribe. Every tribe across the length and breadth of this great land.

[Glenn Beck]

That is the bumper sticker you have on your car.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It is one of the many you support. Native Americans, Tribal nations.

[Glenn Beck]

Tribal nations among the length and breadth of this land. That is what the.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It's a long sticker, but it's worth it.

[Glenn Beck]

It goes the entire bumper.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It does. It does. The budget does, however, weed out radical WOKE grants and programs and streamlines other programs for tribal communities that were ineffective. It addresses drug abuse. It supports artificial intelligence and quantum research. It amply funds research in AI and quantum information science at key agencies to ensure the United States remains on the cutting edge, edge of these critical technologies, development, and responsible use. And that's the thing. Do we keep that use responsible? That's. That's kind of the fear as this thing kind of rockets to new heights and we start to see these breakthroughs almost weekly in AI. It's pretty amazing how far and how fast that has come and how much farther and faster is it going to go from here on. I mean, that's something that needs to be monitored, I think, pretty carefully. There was some story over the weekend about humanoid robots breaking out of their. Out of their restraints. Did you see that story?

[Glenn Beck]

Saw that? Yeah.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Is that real? I never know with the. With the robots going crazy videos whether.

[Jeffy Fisher]

They'Re real, but I guess all we have is their word for it. But apparently this robot was a. Was attached to some restraints, and it started flailing its arms all over the place and started moving toward the humans in the room until one of them somehow got control of the robot. But We're. We're led to believe there that the robots are already starting to become sentient.

[Glenn Beck]

Do we know if robots are to. Let's just say they rise up and they start coming off of the restraints and coming after people.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah. How will that affect LGBTQ people more adversely, obviously.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yes. Yes, they will be disproportionately affected.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

That's negative. And we don't want that to happen. We need a new study. Let's start with hamsters.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

And then we'll move on. Gerbils.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And then. Okay. All right. I like it. I like it. But hopefully. Hopefully, this budget, I. I guess as I've seen it so far, it looks. It looks fairly promising, and it looks like we might actually have something that has a structure as far as our financial future. Will it pass, though? I don't know. That remains to be seen. Triple eight, seven two, seven, Beck. More coming up in one minute.

[Glenn Beck]

Most of us go through the day without thinking twice about our identity until the moment that. That it's stolen. And when that happens, it's not just about someone opening a credit card in your name or draining your account. It's about the hours spent on hold, the frozen bank transactions, the fear that someone's out there pretending to be you. Sometimes it starts with a breached email or a leaked password. And before you even realize what's happening, the damage is already done. That's why LifeLock exists. They monitor things that you can't.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Patton Stufer Glenn. Who returns on Wednesday. Happy Cinco de Mayo. By the way, did you realize it is Cinco de Mayo today?

[Glenn Beck]

I did not.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah. Yeah. So it's pretty exciting. Some cities, however, are canceling their cultural events due to fears of ICE raids and deportations. Again. Again, it's that mean Donald Trump is.

[Glenn Beck]

Mean, I will say, like, you know, his border policy, I think has been very, very positive. Obviously what's happened, really effective, has been very, very effective. But we have not actually seen large scale deportations.

[Jeffy Fisher]

We haven't.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, my one criticism on what's gone on with the Abrego Garcia situation is like, I don't know, it's not like it's not central to the overall problem. Right. It's one person. So all this focus has been put on this one person who again, I don't think should be here, obviously, but.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Like the Maryland man you don't believe should be here.

[Glenn Beck]

He should be in Maryland. I'm not in Maryland.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

He's a Maryland father. He should be in Maryland. He should be deported to some other country. Apparently. That's, that's the rule. Whatever the situation is, I don't want him to be here. I don't think he does not seem like a good guy, at least according to his wife's.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Well, I mean, did you. In her own voice, they've. I should find that. Because it's stunning. I mean, she was talking about the beatings he gave her, the bruises that she had.

[Kevin McCarthy]

Awful.

[Jeffy Fisher]

She took photos of it.

[Glenn Beck]

But did you see what she said about it, though? Because she was asked, she's like, hey, wait a minute. You said she was this great guy. This great guy.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

And now you're.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And now we're finding out he's not.

[Glenn Beck]

But she clarified that, pat.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

In 2021, she filed a protective order against her husband, alleging domestic violence.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

In a statement last week, this is a couple weeks ago now, she said, quote, she did so in case things escalated.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That's right. Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

Adding that they never did. So he's fine. Oh, yeah, he's fine.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Completely fine.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, do you believe that as even as an excuse that you'd even print that? What do you mean? No one files a restraining order for domestic violence in case there's domestic violence that is literally never occurred. Why imagine doing that to your husband.

[Jeffy Fisher]

No. If there was no reason for it.

[Glenn Beck]

No. He's like, ah, gosh, I'm just worried you might start beating me soon. So I'm going to get ever straight restraining order against you now just in case you started up.

[Jeffy Fisher]

So you're saying that's unreasonable.

[Glenn Beck]

Unreasonable. Yeah, unreasonable. So, geez. But now we have evidence that this is not accurate. You're saying.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

You're saying in her own words.

[Jeffy Fisher]

She said her own words. She's talking about the times he slapped her Most multiple times. Hit her, gave her bruises, threatened her life. I mean, it was not. It was not good and not a peaceful domestic situation.

[Glenn Beck]

What's the reason then for this approach from her? I guess there's a. The best case scenario is they had real problems before. She feels like they're through them now, and she's now just gonna lie and defend him.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And I think that happens. That does happen quite a bit.

[Glenn Beck]

I think also there's an element of. When these things become these big national stories, there's this idea that maybe this turns into something beneficial. Beneficial for the person maybe. You know what I mean? Like, I'm trying to think of another. There was another. This happens with, you know, sometimes these racially charged murder cases where people will come in and say, oh, well, well, if I can step in here and now, like, you know, even though there's a case that you used to cite all the time of the. The father was not even involved in the kid's life anymore and had been, like, abandoned years and years and years ago, and he's now in the front of the media saying, my son, my son, my son. That type of stuff does happen. People jump into that fray. I don't know if that's the situation here. I mean, I don't even know what to root for. The bottom line is it seems like the damage was done a long time ago. There's no way. Unless she was lying back then. I guess that's the best case scenario.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But if you were planning to attend a Cinco de Mayo celebration parade.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Get together of any kind. You might want to call ahead and make sure it's still on. Because for the past 45 years, for instance, in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, they've celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a parade featuring Mexican bands, floats, and dancers and a festival at a local park afterwards. And up to 300,000 people show up for this every year. They canceled it. It's off now because, you know.

[Glenn Beck]

Because why?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Because of mean Donald Trump. You know, ICE might show up and start deporting people, and it won't even matter if you just look like you might be Hispanic. They'll just arrest you and deport you. Of course. But event organizers said many Latinos, whether legal or illegal, fear being arrested if they gather publicly in large crowds. Yeah, well, thank you, Democrats. That's their dude doing. Advocates also report that some are afraid to attend church, go to work, or even take their children to school. Let me just recommend. If you're here illegally, you should always be afraid of all of those things really. And maybe you return to a place where you're a legal resident and then you won't have to worry about it anymore. That's out there a ways though. I know that's available to them. That is available. You could self deport and go back to your country of origin where you are in fact a citizen and nobody will deport you. Crazy.

[Glenn Beck]

That's a great idea. Why I wish I someone should tell them about that cuz that seems to.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Be the rational it seems to be.

[Glenn Beck]

Way to handle it.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But apparently not. Triple Eight 727 Beck more coming up.

We're not sure right now. There's a bit of an issue you can check in with with this ongoing situation apparently on Twitter where Glenn is posting or x I guess about his flight difficulties.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Oh no.

[Glenn Beck]

At the moment he is apparently stranded. I don't know where he throw. Maybe trying to get home to do the show for you. He is complaining to American Airlines who did they bumped Glenn off the flight.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Oh no.

[Glenn Beck]

According to Glenn, he says they made it on time with 50 minutes to spare, but they will not let him on the flight and then they let someone else who showed up two minutes before the flight, on the flight, but kept him off of it.

[Jeffy Fisher]

What? Really?

[Glenn Beck]

That's what he's saying now. Glenn has been complaining about American Airlines for years.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

Which is with good reason.

[Jeffy Fisher]

In some cases.

[Glenn Beck]

In some cases good reason. However, I will say when you complain publicly about an airline, I don't know that that makes you more or less likely for this to happen to you. You. Yeah, I don't know.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I. I don't know.

[Glenn Beck]

I think, I would think normally with a big audience like Glenn has that.

[Jeffy Fisher]

You might want to make it a better experience for him.

[Pat Gray]

Right.

[Jeffy Fisher]

In case he talks about you again, which he obviously is going to.

[Glenn Beck]

Seems like they, they go the opposite direction with that one.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

So we think Glenn's gonna be back on Wednesday or he'll be doing the show from a Heathrow bathroom.

[Jeffy Fisher]

One of the two probably the more likely. Yes. Is the Heathrow bathroom at this point.

[Glenn Beck]

Honestly, that seems like the truth.

[Jeffy Fisher]

You have an interesting story about a 90 year old economist.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh yeah, this is an update. We did the story last or two weeks ago, I guess now if you remember it. Basically story of Daniel Kahneman, who is a psychologist, economist, he did a lot of work in behavioral economics and his story, he wrote a book called Thinking Fast and Slow Slow, which is kind of a well known book about how the brain works. You have one part of your brain that thinks and makes instant decisions based on instinct and reaction and another part of your brain that kind of logically works through problems. It's a really interesting book. The concept, it's kind of work how you can live your life better and understand how your brain is working in certain circumstances, but also how to design policy. A lot of times we. Why do people smoke cigarettes? Right. Why do people eat foods that are unhealthy? Well, that instant reaction brain takes that instant reward and prioritizes it over the logical thinking over a long term that hey, maybe this is an unhealthy behavior. Right.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Makes sense. Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. So it's interesting stuff. So anyway, he lived a very interesting life, won Nobel Prize, was featured in a Michael Lewis book about his life with one of his co workers. So he lives this life, gets to 90 years old and decides to basically go through assisted suicide. I think he flies to Switzerland if I remember correctly, and basically gets himself killed. We hear that he dies. That's a story at the time, we don't know how, how. A couple weeks later an op ed in the New York Times runs, written partially by someone you might remember from back in the day, Pat. Peter Singer.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

The ethicist, quote unquote, from Princeton, who basically advocated for abortion up to two years after birth.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And then corrected himself to say actually there shouldn't be a time limit on it. Basically once you hit consciousness, that's when you become a, a human, was his argument.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But you could in theory abort a 20 year old.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, I think in theory, especially if you had like maybe a mental condition that did not live up to Peter's standards for human existence.

[Jeffy Fisher]

But he's a guy, a great guy.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes. I think a horrible, horrible belief system that he has. He knew Kahneman. They apparently talked about this and, and he checked out. Now, the op ed was basically, hey, what a thoughtful guy this guy is. And one of the pieces of information that was so interesting was he didn't have like terminal cancer. He didn't have some disease that was going to kill him in weeks. He basically said, I'll read this one excerpt in explanation, Professor Kahneman included a letter that his friends would receive a few days later. I have believed since I was a teenager that the miseries and indignities of the last years of life are superfluous. And I am acting on that belief. I am still active, enjoying many things in life except the daily News and will die a happy man. But my kidneys are on their last legs. The frequency of mental lapses is increasing and I'm 90 years old. It's time to go. So no disease, nothing. He just decided he didn't want to be 91, essentially.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Wow.

[Glenn Beck]

So the update on the story is the New York Times wrote some letters, they ran some letters in their paper to the editor. Letters to the editor. And of course you'd think there'd be some outrage.

[Jeffy Fisher]

You would think.

[Glenn Beck]

There are a couple letters in here that are mildly uncomfortable, I would say, with the process of killing yourself for no good reason. You know, hey, I don't know about this. It sounds like I'm a little uncomfortable with it. Basically the two.

[Jeffy Fisher]

What a statement.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes. You can't find anyone who's like, this is horrible. This culture of death is awful. None of that. Yeah, most of them are like this, though. I admire and respect Daniel Kahneman's decision to end his life at night. And I hope I am as able to be as clear headed and resolute in another decade or two when my time comes.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Wow. Wow.

[Glenn Beck]

That's one from G. Steve Jordan in New York. You don't have to be a Nobel laureate to understand Daniel Kahneman's concept of A complete life. And his decision to go to Switzerland.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That was all just a decision to go to Switzerland. He's taking a vacation.

[Glenn Beck]

I didn't go to Switzerland, but I could have if I could get through Heathrow. Maybe that's where Glenn's going to go next. I believe that our freedoms include the right to die with dignity. If an individual who's cogent and psychologically stable believes that he or she has lived their life well, that her life is complete and that their future will not bring enjoyment or joy, she should have the right to make the decision. Decision to terminate her life period. I'm 77 years old and I've talked with my husband, but two adult children about my wishes. While I'm not ready to make the decision today, I want them to understand my choices when the time is right. So this is someone who's basically saying yeah, I'm going to pull the trigger on this and maybe literally wow on that one. Wow. Let's see. Over and over and over again talking.

[Jeffy Fisher]

About how courageous it is.

[Glenn Beck]

Having helped care for my father in law, my stepfather, both who had Alzheimer's, I've preferred profound respect for Professor Kahneman's decision. I hope to meet death with bravery and humility when my time comes. Now again, I think there's real problems with the concept of doing this if you do have a terminal disease.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Me too.

[Glenn Beck]

Right. Major, major problems. However, the concept here of this just being a thing now where we roll into our 80s and 90s and just decide any eh, what I see in the future for myself doesn't seem all that wonderful. Therefore let's just end it. That's a terrifying reality. That's where we are though Pat.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I think it again tells you, it shows you what a death cult the left and the Democrat party, what they're just. It is, it's a death cult. I mean between abortion which they show that they have absolutely no value for human life. The CEO of the insurance of the IHC CEO who got shot in the back and the guy who shot and killed him is, has become a folk hero. You got the Carmelo Anthony thing here. Right here in the Dallas Fort Worth area where he stabbed someone in the chest just because they touched him and they're making that okay. It just doesn't matter. A lot of people said was inconceivable to me but many people's comments were that that that the 17 year old who was stabbed in the heart got exactly what he had coming to him.

[Glenn Beck]

Why no evidence that he did anything.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Right. He didn't do anything to this guy except ask him to leave and go to his own tent.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It is despicable. And it just, it just shows that this is a mental disease, that if you're, you're on the left, there's something wrong with you if you believe these things.

[Glenn Beck]

Speaking of mental disease, may I give you the final letter to the editor on this particular story?

[Jeffy Fisher]

You may.

[Glenn Beck]

You'll love this one. I think to the editor, it probably doesn't need to be said that the biggest barrier to the acceptance of assisted suicide in our culture, to its wisdom and its compassion passion, is the widespread belief that only God gets to decide when it's time for someone to go. A God in scare quotes. A God who would prevent the end of needless suffering and then damn one to eternal suffering for the act. Doesn't sound like a very compassionate God to me, said David Cohan from Oak Park, Illinois.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Written like a true atheist.

[Glenn Beck]

Right? Here's what I don't understand on this one though, Pat. We have no evidence that he was going through any suffering at all. If what you're gonna do, because this is an obviously dumb atheist trope, it's a stupid argument that any. It's been disproven and argued so many different ways. It's just nonsense. So Cat, how stupid it is aside, even if you believed it right, what you would believe in this guy's case is that he gave him an incredible life of achievement, that he is going to be remembered for his life's work and he's done all these important incredible things and lived all the way till 90 years old with no pain or discomfort and still enjoying his life.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

So why on earth would it need to be ended?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Right. I.

[Glenn Beck]

It doesn't. Even if you are living in this bizarre upside down world where nothing makes sense and you're just continually enforcing your own stupidity upon the population around you, even in that circumstance it wouldn't make any sense. But that's where we are.

[Jeffy Fisher]

That's where we are. And in, in, you know, it's not just Switzerland either. I, I think in Oregon we're getting closer to being able to do that as well. Right.

[Glenn Beck]

Even without some. Because I know a lot of places now have it. If you have a disease.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Like if you have some so of disease or discomfort, you can do this. Many countries around here. Canada is a big proponent of this now and they have just moved into the circumstance where now it's kind of be like, well, what if you're uncomfortable? What if you just don't feel like you want to live. Yeah, that's a really great thing to do. That's a good concept because you want to get that started. Because it's not going to be people. It's not going to be. It's going to be those people who are drains on our society.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah, they're.

[Glenn Beck]

Let's go down that road again.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Produce enough potatoes.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. If you're not Peruvian, at least as much as you consume or a little bit more. And we should have a little trial for you where you can come out and you can say, are you proving your worth to society? Are you doing what you need to do for the good of the collective? I hope so, because if not, we're.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Going to off you.

[Glenn Beck]

We're going to off you.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It's over.

[Glenn Beck]

How far are we away from that? I mean, these are all things that I thought we turned away from in the, I don't know, 30s and 40s.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

But no, they're back in a nice effect.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Triple eight, seven, two, seven back.

[Stu Burguiere]

What you're hearing are your thoughts via the mind and mouth of Glenn Beck. More next.

[Pat Gray]

As we celebrate the many pro life victories going forth. Rejoice. Preborn's network of clinics have a unique opportunity to advance even further without political persecution. What does it look like? Well, preborn is the greatest threat to the abortion industry. Last year alone, preborn rescued over 67,000 babies and they're putting a serious dent into the abortion tragedy.

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome back. Triple 8727 Beck is the phone number. If Glenn can get out of Heathrow Airport, he'll be back on Wednesday. You can follow that escapade on on Twitter. He's been tweeting about it. He's currently stuck at an airport somewhere and can't get on his phone.

[Jeffy Fisher]

There's never a dull moment.

[Glenn Beck]

Never.

[Jeffy Fisher]

With Glenn.

[Glenn Beck]

With Glenn, it's great.

[Jeffy Fisher]

We were just Talking about the 90 year old who, who flew to Switzerland, took his own life. He was so. He was a therapist, he was a.

[Glenn Beck]

Psychologist, I believe, but he was kind of best known for his work in economics.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And there's a lot of people that support this to being able, able to, you know, kill yourself if, if you, if you feel like it, if you want to, whether you're sick or not in Switzerland, they'll go ahead and, and help you with that. And you know, there's been people who have favored this kind of stuff over the years. For decades we've played this from George Bernard Shaw, who is the celebrated play playwright. And you might remember he had this to say, I think it was like 1933 or, or so.

[Glenn Beck]

Just put him there and say, sir or madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence?

[Jeffy Fisher]

Justify your existence? You can't justify your existence if you're.

[Glenn Beck]

Not pulling your weight in the social boat.

[Jeffy Fisher]

If you're not producing as much as.

[Glenn Beck]

You consume, perhaps a little more then.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Then clearly we cannot use the big organization of our society further purpose of.

[Glenn Beck]

Keeping you alive because you.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It's amazing. That is amazing.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And that clearly can't keep you alive.

[Glenn Beck]

Can't use the big organization of our society to keep. For the purposes of keeping you alive.

[Jeffy Fisher]

It's mindbogg. Gosh.

[Glenn Beck]

The next sentence of that is really good as well. Do you remember it off the top of your head? Well, life does not benefit us and it can't be a very much. So your life does not benefit us and it can't be of much use to yourself. Yeah, it's so good. So good. And this is a guy who's still respected.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I remember celebrating first started playing that, that audio which is a, you know, a core argument from the progressive, the early progressives that Glenn, you know, talked about so much. And it. The foundation of essentially, essentially everything that came in Progressivism after it, through eugenics and, and all the rest. I remember going to a diner, I was at a diner and they had quotes from George Bernard Shaw on the menu. It was like, you know, the place, the placemat, little placemat they put down there and they have quotes from famous people. I'm like, this is this now. They didn't use that quote.

[Jeffy Fisher]

I suppose not.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, but they were you quoting him like he's some brilliant guy years later.

[Jeffy Fisher]

And he's still considered that.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. And he's essentially outlining Hitler's. Yes, a large chunk of Hitler's philosophy.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Exactly.

[Glenn Beck]

That was behind the Holocaust and some of his other atrocities. Amazing.

[Jeffy Fisher]

Well, have a great day. We'll see you back here tomorrow.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is Glenn. Becky.

[Pat Gray]

What do you give the mom who gave you everything?
