888-727. Beck. Man, I, I was up all night. My heart was pounding because there are so many stories today that I need to get to. And we're going to, and I'm going to add an hour because I'm not going to get to the Russian talk today, which is really important. Colony Ridge, which is really important on Immigration and Baby Sparrow. That case goes to court today. We're hoping that there will be an update by the end of the day. We're hoping, but we'll see. And so I'm going to add an hour to the show. We'll put it on X and probably most likely the Blaze as well. But you've got to be a subscriber to Blaze tv.

Stu Burguiere (26:00)

Don't put any of that weird stuff in the chat room.

Glenn Beck (26:01)

Yeah, please don't. It's nice and clean, everybody.

Stu Burguiere (26:03)

Come on.

Glenn Beck (26:04)

Yeah. What's happening right now with the theft of our time, our treasure and our trust cut so deep to the marrow of everything that we've been taught to trust that I, I, I think we were saved by God. But unless every person in America starts to recognize sanity, not common sense sanity, and we don't demand Congress and, and the government to clean this mess up now, we don't survive this. We've just maybe postponed our, our death for a couple of years. Let me, let Me tell you about a piece I wrote, read last night from Elizabeth Nixon. It's Give us back our effing money, How Washington Stole Everything. She published it on her substack. It's a howl of rage. It's a spotlight on the festering wound of government overreach. And I want to unpack it and add some commentary to it, just one human being to another. Not, not talking about politics or just human to human, American to American, because we cannot, we cannot continue to pretend this stuff isn't happening. Maybe half the country, maybe, is seething. Their anger is a quiet fire that has been stoked by decades of theft. Not just our money, but of our dreams, our kids, futures, the very idea of liberty. And yet the politicians, mostly Democrats, sure, let's not kid ourselves. The rhinos, the Republicans, we always suspected that they were in on it. They're all shrieking like Banji banshees right now, clutching their pearls. Oh, my gosh, we're the victims here. No, you're not. Meanwhile, Doge, the Department of Government Efficiency, is stepping in with a simple request. And yesterday, last night, they had to extend this deadline because it was just too hard and controversial for people to do. Tell us five things you worked on last week. Tell us five things. Now, that's a demand for accountability. That should have universal approval. I mean, I think we should all be like, yeah. Instead, it was met with defiance. Calls from the unions, the bureaucrats who think they're $144,000 a year jobs with benefits, things that we would all kill for. Means they don't have to answer to anybody. Not you, not the president or his appointed representative. No, they don't answer to you. They don't answer to him, and I am sick of it. What will it take for all of us to wake up to the common sense truth? This government, as it has been run, isn't here for you. It's not here for your children. It's not here for the freedom of mankind. It's a machine. And we, its citizens, are the fuel. It's burning. I just. I want you to picture this in your head for just a second. Just take a breath and picture your paycheck. It lands into your account, and before you can either even breathe, a chunk of it is gone, siphoned off to fund a system that doesn't give a damn about you. Now, we always suspected, but we know now what's happening with our money. Nixon lays it bare. She says the elderly on Social Security should have five times what they're getting. Scraping by on a pittance while the bureaucrats live fat. Those waiting for health care. Maybe you, your kid can't even dream of going to college. Maybe you're facing cancer from a vaccine that you had to take. Those are the casualties of this grand heist. Doge's initial findings, she points out the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid wasted $100 billion last year alone that was uncovered in a single day's glance. Billion here, billion there. What's a billion dollars between friends? I don't know. A billion dollars. The $2 billion the EPA handed to Stacey Abrams linked group that raised a measly $100 in donations. Then the government, the EPA steps in and gives her $2 billion. What was that money for? Paid protesters? Climate hysterics who glue themselves to sidewalks, Scaring kids in our school with climate doomsday fairy tales. This is not incompetence. It's calculated theft. It's a looting of the public purse so blatant it has to be. You have to admire it. And who's paying? You are. You are. I am. Every taxpayer that is watching their life's work vanish in the maw of a beast that doesn't even blink. It doesn't stop to take a breath. It just keeps consuming. Let me put it this way. Since the beginning of the year, you are still working just to pay your taxes. You haven't made a dime yet. You will work 113 days, a third of the year, a third of your life just to pay taxes. And what are you getting out of it? You won't finish working to pay your taxes for these government programs and government workers with their $144,000 salaries until five days after April 15. When is enough enough? My patriotic duty. My patriotic duty to fund this crap. No. Now let's talk about the politicians. The Democrats built this machine. Decades of bloated programs, identity politics, green agendas that choked the life out of us. But the Rhinos, the Republicans, they're the grease and the gears. They were the ones we always knew were part of the problem. Nodding along while they were pocketing their share, I'm sure. So when Doge comes knocking for basic accountability, how dare you question us. Really? You really believe your cushy salaries and your lifetime pension, something that we don't get? That's a divine right. Again, the government salary. The average government Sally is salary is $144,000 with benefits that makes your eyes water. Healthcare, retirement, paid leave while you're lucky. Do you even have a 401k. Do you ma. Do you get a match of your 401k? And yet, when the President or someone like Elon Musk tap to clean this mess up, just says, what'd you do last week? They don't even bother to respond. And it's so bad that the President can't fire any of them. It's a fireable offense. It was said over the weekend if you don't answer these by midnight Monday. Well, let's extend, because maybe some of them are slow. That's not arrogance. That is a middle finger to every taxpayer, no matter who you vote for. It's a middle finger to the Constitution itself. Article two, Section one gives all of the power, it vests the executive power in the President. He's their boss, not their buddy. He's their boss. Ethically, constitutionally, they're bound to serve the public, not their own egos. But they've forgotten that if they ever knew it. What's it going to take for us to see this clearly? And when I say us, I don't mean I. I don't mean the. Probably 50 to 70% of Americans. Doge is getting like 70% ratings. People are for this. But what is it going to get? What is it going to take to get 70% of us to all stand up and say enough is enough? Imagine your house, the locks don't work, and every night somebody slips in and takes a little more. Your savings, your kids, toys, the food from your fridge. You would bolt the doors, set a trap and fight back. But this government, it's the thief that owns the deed. And they're telling you it's for your own good. Nixon is right on this. This anger is soul deep and it's not gonna go away. In fact, it's the kind of anger that will spark at least a tax revolt, a national strike, God forbid. A real revolution in America, not the fake stage ones that they've peddled overseas and in our own country with your tax dollars, without your permission. Half the country feels it. This betrayal has been brewing since the New Deal turned into the Raw Deal, since the Great Society became a great scam. And the other half, I don't know, are they deaf? Are they lulled by the promises of safety nets that are really nooses? Are they caught up in their own mental illness of depravity and their religion, where it's their God is the. Is the planet or the government and Satan is Trump? I don't know. But I'm talking to you now. You can't Be one of them. You're not stupid. Maybe you're just tired, maybe you're just scared. And so you're in that category. But hear me out. This isn't about left or right. This isn't about even right or wrong. This isn't about Trump. This isn't about me. This isn't about the Democrats or the Republicans, who we vote for, who we're at. This is about our children. This is about their future. When we pay our taxes every year and work a third of our life and have that tax taken at the threat of a gun or jail, we don't even cover the cost for all of these things. We can't even cover the cost of the interest payments. Our children will be paying for these things for the rest of their lives. They'll either become slaves to the debt or those most likely who hold the debt. Ethically, this is indefensible. The government's job, its only job, if you read the Constitution, is to secure your rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, not to pick your pocket and call it charity. The 10th amendment powers and he says the 10th amendment says any power not delegated to the Feds belong to the states or the people. Wherein it doesn't say they can waste a hundred billion dollars on Medicare fraud or funnel billions to climate grifters. It doesn't say that they have overstepped. They have violated our social contract, the one where we consent to be governed, not robbed. We consent to be governed intellectually. This whole thing is a farce. Nixon points to the media. 90% of Ukraine's press funded by US taxpayers. Same here. Government grants prop up failing outlets, turning them into propaganda mills. You can't trust what you read because it's not the truth, it's propaganda for them in the media, it's a paycheck. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission gets climate grants. Why? Why? Tell you why. To scare investors into green schemes that do nothing but enrich the connected. It's a Ponzi scheme, just with better branding. I want to zoom in on Doge for just a second, if I have time. Musk wants to cut the fat. The first move, Asking for five things you worked on last week. So simple, it's brilliant. Litmus test. Can't answer that. You're dead weight. Universal approval should be a no brainer. Transparency, efficiency, accountability. Who is arguing against that? Oh, that's right. Those who don't want to be accountable. Those who think their job is a sovereign right, not a service. Constitutionally, it's ironclad the president runs the executive branch. These agencies answer to him. Ethically, a slam dunk. You're spending my money. Show me what you're doing. But the silence is deafening. I think it's a confession of guilt from people who have gotten away with murder. Figuratively. Maybe actually literally as well. But I'm tired of it. And I think you are too. Back in just a minute. I find the best way to approach situations that crop up in life is to have a plan. And when you've already thought through all the things that can happen, you've prepared yourself for those possibilities, you're usually going to come out better on the other side. That's why I kind of tell you these bad things every day. Just so when everybody else figures them out, you're already past them. This is especially true when it comes to life threatening situations.

So you've heard me talking about a crime the FBI calls house stealing. It's also known as title fraud. And if you own a home or a property, your title and the hard earned equity you've built are at serious risk. This is a fast growing crime and it is a serious problem for homeowners. A California district attorney recently stated that only known title fraud attempts over the last year and a half jumped from zero to 80. And I got to think that you don't find all of them. That's kind of the problem with the crime. You don't find a lot of them until later. First they find your home's title online. Then they print out the documents to transfer ownership and then they forge your signature, they file it with the local recorder's office and they get ownership of your home transferred out of your name and into theirs. That's literally all it takes for your property to become their property. Home Title Lock's triple lock protection provides 24,7 monitoring of your title. Urgent alerts of any changes and you know, if the worst thing happens, everything. Criminals are good at their jobs, unfortunately. So sometimes things might slip by somehow.

Christopher Rufo (48:18)

Glad. Doing great. Thanks for having me back on.

Glenn Beck (48:20)

You bet. It's. It's good to have you. How do you like being a congressman over the state treasurer? What do you think so far?

Christopher Rufo (48:29)

Well, you know, so far, so good. I do miss being in West Virginia and dealing with sane people in the.

Glenn Beck (48:36)

State of West Virginia. Yeah.

Christopher Rufo (48:39)

You know, it's something I certainly prayed on a lot and certainly need a lot of prayers and God's protection when you're down here. I know there's no doubt about it.

Glenn Beck (48:48)

So you are a guy who understands things as a treasurer, you understand the economy, et cetera, et cetera. So tell me what you think about Trump's tariffs and what he's actually doing.

Christopher Rufo (49:04)

Yeah, so I am very supportive of the President's tariffs. I've actually introduced what's called the U.S. reciprocal Trade Act. And specifically what the President's trying to do here and what I'm trying to address in my bill is, in short, we're getting taken for a ride. The American people and the American worker have been getting taken for a ride for a very long time. Now what my bill does is it addresses non tariff trade barriers that are there. So that could be a vat, that could be a regulation, it could be government subsidies that act like a tariff for our manufacturers to be able to enter into that marketplace.

Glenn Beck (49:44)

Right.

Christopher Rufo (49:44)

A lot of hidden costs in there. Now the President, what he wants to do is be able to reciprocate with all these countries that have high tariffs. And what I want to do is allow them give more latitude to be able to reciprocate on these non tariff barriers because at the end of the day, nobody wants high tariffs. What the President has proven is when you go out here and you reciprocate, you're going to lower tariffs and you're going to get more free trade. Everybody who is freaking out about this and oh no, this is going to be terrible for the consumer, this is going to be great for the consumer in the long run. And guess what, it's going to be great for the American worker and the blue collar worker.

Glenn Beck (50:22)

And the same way here, I mean, this is Riley, he is playing, I think, five dimensional chess. I mean, I've not been a fan of tariffs. They generally are not good for the economy and the free market. But the reciprocal tariff is just saying, I just want free fair trade. I, I don't want any tariff. But if you're going to raise a tariff, then I'm going to balance the field by giving you exactly the same tariff. Now how do you do that with that? How does your bill actually make, you know, all the subsidies, for instance, Airbus, how are you balancing that?

Christopher Rufo (51:02)

Right. So it will allow the USTR to be able to calculate that and they'll come up with a value in terms of what that looks like in a non tariff sense. Right. So what does that value, what's that inhibitor into our entrance into that marketplace? So it gives them latitude over USDR to be able to determine that, but we have to have the ability to be able to negotiate on those aspects of that. So a tariff on say US automobile in Europe right now might be around 10%, but really it's more like 25%. Right. Because of all these non tariff barriers that are in place.

Glenn Beck (51:43)

Is it gonna pass? Are you gonna be able to get it? I know. What did you start with? 8 sponsors to this bill.

Christopher Rufo (51:49)

8 sponsors. My main lead sponsor, Marjorie Taylor Greene. Her and I have worked on this and we're gonna continue to pick up some more sponsors, particularly as the president has started to lean in on this and people gotta. Everybody knows, Glenn, you're a huge US history expert. You know this. And so just flashback to pre Revolutionary war and one of the aspects and issues that we had with the British at that time was they were taking our raw goods and materials, shipping them over to Britain to then become finished goods that they would export back over to us. Does that sound familiar to anybody? That's what's happening to us right now with the Chinese. It's literally what's happening right now. But instead of that, it's our intellectual property, it's our technological know how and they're building it over there and shipping it back to us.

Glenn Beck (52:42)

So he says that, you know, the tariffs are going to make us rich because we're going to collect so much tax dollars. But, but actually if, I mean if this works and everybody just kind of plays fair with each other, your tariff is not collecting that much money. We still have to have a serious look at cutting our budget and also our taxes. Correct?

Christopher Rufo (53:08)

Correct. Because I'd say in the, you're going to have some, some revenue on that, but in the long term we're trying to correct a behavior here. Now this is a, an example that I've used before. Not that I'm in favor of it because I didn't support it in state legislature, but if you think about something.

Glenn Beck (53:26)

Like a cigarette, you keep breaking up. Are you there? Oh, okay.

Christopher Rufo (53:31)

Yeah, I'm there. Can you hear me, Glenn?

Glenn Beck (53:33)

Yes, I can.

Christopher Rufo (53:34)

An example to think about would be say like a cigarette tax, which I'm not in favor of, but what they're trying to do is change a behavior on the other side. So you might get some revenue in the beginning, but eventually people will come off of cigarettes. Right. So it's the same way you could think to an extent on tariffs is that we're trying to correct the way that these foreign countries are dealing with us and bring it to a more level playing field. The President said he's for free trade, but he is for fair trade. So we'll get some revenue in the short term. This is not a long term play, though.

Glenn Beck (54:06)

I don't think so. I'm talking in just a few minutes to one of the congressmen that are on the Doge Oversight Committee. And I can't figure out what's real and what's not on these numbers. The Wall Street Journal said, I think it's only $6 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal, that they've cut. I'm really not excited about anything until we get over a trillion dollars in cuts. And I'm not sure that we're serious enough to do that. And certainly in Congress we're not serious about cutting, are we?

Christopher Rufo (54:42)

Well, I can tell you that I am. And this budget resolution that they're going to have on the floor today has a floor itself within it provides some guardrails in there for one and a half trillion dollars in cuts.

Glenn Beck (54:59)

Yeah, but, but isn't that a, like an $85 trillion bill over 10 years? You're only cutting. I mean, I mean, really.

Christopher Rufo (55:08)

Yeah. So that's over the ten year window.

Glenn Beck (55:10)

Yeah, right.

Christopher Rufo (55:11)

So that's over the ten year window. So in the way I've thought about it and I've talked to people, they're like, oh, it's one and a half trillion dollars or what if we get to $2 trillion, it's like, well, one is over the 10 year window. So which is saying we're going to reduce, let's say, $200 billion a year. If it's $2 trillion. If this place tomorrow woke up and said they wanted to spend 200 more billion dollars a year, they could do it in a nano day and you.

Glenn Beck (55:36)

Wouldn'T feel it in Washington. They wouldn't feel it. They have to cut 10%, at least 10% from this. And to cut a billion dollars is nothing in an almost 90 or trillion. One trillion out of almost a $90 trillion budget is frankly pathetic and a slap in the face to people who are actually serious and voted for serious reform.

Christopher Rufo (56:03)

Yeah. And we do gotta get more serious on this. And I do think, though, I mean, the things that we're seeing from Doge, if people have the intestinal fortitude, which I am one of these, to actually take what they're doing and put it into law, yes, they can pause this spending, but if we don't put it into law, it will be reappropriated in the next year.

Glenn Beck (56:29)

So the. So incredible. The. I think the American people. I don't know if you saw what Christopher Ruffo came out with as an expose yesterday about what is happening. Oh, look it up. I won't waste your time now. Look it up. It is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. What our intel community is doing on our, on our secure servers where they're, they're, they're having the, The. The most vile sex talk stuff. And NSA says it was important because it was, you know, DEI crap. It's, it's just vile. I think when the American people start to see how our money is spent and some of these things, when they come out and they are out in the open and they are shown to be absolutely true, I have to tell you, I think Donald Trump is, Is running so fast and the American people like that. And if the Republicans don't start moving at his speed to make massive changes, they're not gonna, they're not gonna, they're not gonna be in favor with the American people.

Christopher Rufo (57:44)

No.

Glenn Beck (57:45)

Well.

Christopher Rufo (57:45)

And they won't show up. Right. So they won't show up in 2026, and rightfully so, if we do not get to the speed of Donald Trump and start cutting in the manner in which particularly Doge is finding some of these things. And obviously this is so frustrating for me coming from state government.

Glenn Beck (58:03)

Yeah.

Christopher Rufo (58:03)

We balance our budget every year, right? Every year, balanced budget, no problem. And guess what? When we come up short, what do we do? We cut. When the Democrats are in charge, they tax. We cut and we got our way there. And we always balance our budget every year.

Glenn Beck (58:17)

Right. Well, the other thing is, and I'd love to hear your opinion on this, I don't know why we're just shifting money around in the Pentagon. I want the defense budget. And I'm somebody who believes in defense. Strong defense. But we have to cut everything, including defense. Why are we not cutting the 8%? We're just moving that money around according to head.

Christopher Rufo (58:42)

I could not agree with you more is everything's got to take a cut. And I'm a big believer in national defense. Huge believer. But everybody has got to do more with less because everyone in America.

Glenn Beck (58:58)

Yes, yes, yes. Riley, thank you.

Christopher Rufo (59:02)

Gonna have to figure it out.

Glenn Beck (59:03)

Thank you very much. We'll be watching what happens to your tariffs. You are introducing that when to the floor.

Christopher Rufo (59:10)

We just got it introduced here just last week. And so we're actually working with the White House on the bill right now as we speak.

Glenn Beck (59:18)

Good, good. Thank you so much for everything you're doing and congratulations on or my condolences on being a member of Congress now, Congressman.

Christopher Rufo (59:27)

Thank you.

Glenn Beck (59:27)

I appreciate it. From West Virginia, Congressman Riley Moore. Back in just a second. You know that one type of guy you see in the old movies, the strong silent type, the John Wayne guy who's rough and tough and doesn't feel pain. You can punch him or shoot him and it just keep coming at you, you know that guy? I am totally not that guy. Not within a, not within a mile really of that guy. When I was dealing with regular agonizing pain in my own life, I just wanted it gone. And I whined a lot about it and my wife would testify in front of a judge with her hand on the Bible. Yes, your honor, he whined a lot. And that's why she said I'm not going to listen to you whine anymore if you don't try this daily supplement called relief factor. And I'm like it's not going to work. I've been to some of the best doctors in the world for this and they can't kill this pain. That's going to work. Then she just looked at me, didn't say anything and I realized I'm going to lose this argument. So I'm going to take it. I took it. I took it for 30 days their three week challenge and I didn't want to admit that it was working. I just said well I feel better. Yeah but it's just probably, you know, I just feeling better because just feeling better I stopped taking it and it all came back so I back on it now.

But Dan Crenshaw was doing an interview with GB News, Great British, Great Britain News. And afterwards, he was talking about, yeah, we could play it, but you're not going to really understand. Go ahead and play a little bit.

Stu Burguiere (62:02)

Have you ever met soccer?

Glenn Beck (62:05)

Yeah, we've talked a lot on Twitter. If I ever met him, I'd effing kill him. He's the worst person. And the. The guy says. The interviewer says, now they're off mic. They're finished with the interview. The interviewer says, yeah, funny. And he's like, no, I mean it. I'd kill him. Okay. I don't know about you, but that's not something I want to hear from a former Navy SEAL or a congressman. Yeah, I mean, somebody who knows the gravity and knows how to kill people. You know, I suggest we don't brush this off from Dan Crenshaw. And it's not about, you know, parties or party lines. It's about a congressman threatening to murder a private citizen who's just asking questions of the congressman. You know, I don't threaten to kill people on cnn, nor should I. Uh, that's just wrong. Love him or hate him, Tucker Carlson. He's not an enemy combatant, and you're no longer a Navy seal. For him to say that he's gonna kill him. No, I mean it. I'll kill him. Is. It's not just reckless. It's. It's obscene for a guy like that to wield those words so casually. I think is. And, you know, it's not an isolated outburst. This guy. I mean, we. We kind of know who Crenshaw is. At first, I. At least I did. I kind of liked him. I was like, oh, this guy's gonna be. You know, he's gonna go in there with the eye patch, and he's gonna make sure he's not doing that. He's not a conservative. He's a big state advocate. He's a war hawk. He's a player in the globalist agenda, like the World Economic Forum and ESG policies. You know? Is he serving Texas? I don't. I don't think so. Start with his love for centralized power. Is that Texas? Texas? I don't think so. His voting record clashes with the limited, limited government ideals that, you know, conservatives actually hold dear. He's a defender of the national security state, backing surveillance and military overreach every time. In 2021, he opposed the warrant requirement for government access to data. Your data under section 702 of FISA. It's not a fluke. This is not just a one off. He always trusts the elite over our Fourth Amendment rights. That's not conservative. That, that's, that's a statist. You know, and he's cozying up to ESG and WEF priorities that, you know, he. I did a podcast with him once and he said, I don't really pay attention to esg. Wf. I don't really know what that is, really. Don't you? Of course he does. He hasn't openly praised the World Economic Forum, but everything he does and says lines up with him. In 2020, Co sponsored a carbon tax bill, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. Ooh, it's a dividend. That sounds good. He's also not met a war he doesn't like and wants us to get into. And now this. I mean, I think we need to demand accountability. I think you should send a letter in to your congressman and the House Ethics Committee. I think they should probe this threat. You know, in 2026, you have a shot to replace him with somebody who actually fights for the values. Not, you know, not Wall street or war profiteers, but somebody who actually, you know, fights for the things and is tough on the things you want them to be. Tough. You know, not saying he's going to kill Tucker Carlson.

Stu Burguiere (65:48)

Yeah. And you know, look, I don't. It's funny because he's not gonna kill Tucker Carlson. I don't think. I'm not worried about it.

Glenn Beck (65:55)

I don't know, I just don't like the fact.

Stu Burguiere (65:56)

But I understand what you're saying. I mean, the guy has obviously been trained in these skills, but he's, he's a congressman.

Glenn Beck (66:02)

You just don't say that. And then, yeah, when the person, when the person laughs, you can laugh with it. You don't double down and say, no, I mean it, I'd kill it. Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (66:12)

And I. And the other part about it is he's supposed to be. The media would tell us that he's the balanced one.

Glenn Beck (66:17)

Oh, yeah, I know the.

Stu Burguiere (66:18)

Tucker Carlson's always saying crazy things and he's the one who is, you know, he's the sensible one of the two.

Glenn Beck (66:25)

One reason why, you know, he's on the wrong side. If the media is like, oh, he just gets it. Oh, he's just, he's so, he's so common sense. And I mean, yeah, sure, he's a Republican, but he's a Republican we can live with. You know, he's in bed with all the bad things that we Want for America. So anyway, health, house, ethics. What do you say? Anybody gonna. Anybody? Anybody? Bueller, this is Glenn Beck. So you and I recognize the importance of farmers and ranchers in America. Yeah. Isn't it crazy that some people don't? You know, fewer and fewer farmers and ranchers are staying in business each year because, well, our meat is imported. We have a mafia that runs our. Our three meat packing plants. And Bill Gates is buying up all the farms so we can have, you know, these great farms from Bill Gates. Wouldn't that be great? The hell is wrong with us? Every cut of meat from good ranchers, beef, chicken, pork, it's all raised here in the US it's free from hidden additives like antibiotics, hormones, seed oils. It's just meat. And they're upholding the values of tradition because when you shop with good ranchers, you're directly supporting the local farms and ranches here in the United States. Now, believe it or not, kids, meat doesn't originally come in a Styrofoam package. It's weird, I know. Right now you can get free ground beef, chicken breast, or wild caught salmon in every box for a year, plus $25 off when you subscribe to Good Ranchers. Good Ranchers, New meat offer.

Glenn Beck (68:41)

All right, man. This has been a crazy day so far. If you missed any of the program, make sure you go back and grab the podcast today. Listen, hour one. It'll make your head explode. It will just make your head explode. I can't believe that we said, oh, you know what? We're gonna give those people another day because five bullet points, super hard, you know. We only gave them three days to write five bullet points. What did you do last week? They can't be expected to produce something like that, you know, in just a couple of days. So now they've got extra time to complete their work, and people are bitching about it. How reasonable is. Who do these people work for? Who do they work for? They answer to the president who works for us. They. I guess they don't work. They don't work for Congress. They don't work for the president. They work for themselves and do whatever they want. They work for their labor unions. We're serving the people. No, you're not. No, you're not answer the questions or get the hell out. Anyway, Doge is. There's a lot of stuff coming out about Doge, and people are like, no, it's just a bunch of kids. It's like the Scooby Doo mystery van pulled up to the treasury and the dog got out with his Scooby Snacks. No, that's not what's happening. Uh, and we have a congressional committee that is in charge of oversight, and Congressman Aaron Bean from Florida is part of that oversight. Welcome, Aaron. How are you, sir?

Aaron Bean (70:22)

Glenn Beck. I am doing great. Every day is a crazy day up here in crazy town. So wild stuff. So we've got a caucus, a caucus, a Doge caucus that's working to codify the changes that Elon and the President's Doge work group is doing. And it's a busy time.

Glenn Beck (70:44)

So tell me how much of this stuff is real and not. I read a story in the Wall Street Journal yesterday. It said only $6 billion has really been found. All the rest of it is nonsense. It's like, what? That can't be true, right?

Aaron Bean (70:58)

Well, I think it's much bigger. I think it's much bigger than the public knows. And just people would be shocked of.

Glenn Beck (71:08)

How big it is.

Aaron Bean (71:09)

What we have to do is re establish a new baseline for budgeting so that we eliminate and codify and not give all this crazy crap that, that we continue to fund. Today, though, it's game day. It's game day in Capitol Hill. On Capitol Hill, we've got a big budget vote tonight that sets up the framework of the Trump agenda, including reestablishing the Trump tax cuts. Glenn, it's going to be razor thin. We can only lose one vote because we know the Democrats, as crazy as they are, they will stick together and they will all vote no. So we, we've got to stick together. So it's going to be a nail biter here tonight. I don't know how long it'll take, but everybody's going to stay tuned. Listen to the Glenn bike to figure out how to begin the process.

Glenn Beck (71:59)

How do people, Congressman, how are they not seeing the writing on the wall here? I mean, we cannot continue down this path financially. What they're suggesting is, I mean, I know people are excited about it in Capitol Hill, but I yawn at, oh, wow, one point, what, four or $1.7 trillion saved over 10 years? It's almost a $90 trillion budget. You should be finding nine or $10 trillion to cut from that thing.

Aaron Bean (72:35)

Agreed, Agreed. And we were, you know, this year, we'll spend over seven and a half trillion dollars. 20, 19, before COVID we were a $4 trillion budgeted nation. And so just in the last five years, you can see how much it skyrockets. But we're now at a critical stage that we have to make a change. We have to make a change. And as little as, you know, this budget deal that says we will, over the next 10 years, cut 1.5 trillion, as small as that is, it is the first cut, major cut, I think, ever. It is the largest ever, but it's the first time that we've ever shrunk government. So we will cheer this. We will say it's the first step of. It's a big deal. It's a big deal. We've got people in our party, in our party, Glenn, that you need to know that he's a Republican. Some say these cuts go too far. And then we got people in our party says, I'm not voting for it because it goes, it doesn't go far enough. So, but we've got to come together and hopefully we'll do that tonight.

Glenn Beck (73:36)

So far, we have to have the tax cuts, but we also have to have, and I'm hoping Doge does all the cutting because I don't think Congress will do it. And, you know, if, if your caucus can actually codify these things, that's great. But, you know, we need about, I mean, if we're going to be honest, if we were actually running this as our House or as our, you know, as our business, we'd all be looking at each other in, you know, in every board meeting and go, we got to cut $3 trillion a year. We have to cut it, and we would all know it. And if we were responsible business people or sponsor responsible people that had our families, we would find that $3 trillion and we would cut it. But, I mean, you know, we can't. We can't nickel and dime here and there. And is Doge going to be able to find a trillion dollars in cuts for a year?

Aaron Bean (74:31)

I think they will.

Stu Burguiere (74:32)

Yes, I do.

Aaron Bean (74:34)

But this framework tonight is the, is the first step. I agree. If it was Glenn Beck and Aaron Bean in a room, you and I could do it on the back of a cocktail napkin of how we were going to reshape government. But when you have 500 and 535 members of Congress that each has their own little idea of how it should go down, then that's where the trick is. So tonight, getting 216 virtually virtually unanimous, we'll lose, hopefully not more than one vote or it fails. But if we that will come together and begin the process of reducing the size of the government the first time in a long time.

Glenn Beck (75:16)

So how confident are you guys, you know, are the Republicans going into this today that they're going to actually walk away with a deal, that they're going to get the all the votes they need?

Christopher Rufo (75:31)

I.

Aaron Bean (75:32)

On a scale from 1 to 10, I'm at a 8 right now. Four people, four Republicans have said they oppose it. But I think that's a chance for Donald J. Trump, who is the 800 pound gorilla that can get on the phone and say, what are you doing? Let's go forward with the Trump agenda. 77 million people voted for it in America. They voted for rapid change that Doge is bringing. They voted for rapid change that our President is doing. Somebody said, and it's perfect, somebody said that the President's running a no huddle offense every day. He goes to the mic every afternoon he pushes and signs executive orders and pushes everybody. Congress is having a hard time keeping up with him. But Tonight, game time, 605 going back. Tune in.

Glenn Beck (76:13)

So what is the. Who are the four? Can you say who the four are? The four Republicans?

Aaron Bean (76:21)

No, it's public. Thomas Massie. Thomas Massie is one of them. Victoria Sparks is, is another. Those are the two that are public right now and hopefully they'll get really to, to have their say of going forward and we'll bring them back into the fold.

Glenn Beck (76:37)

Yeah, well, I know both of them and I would imagine that they're just, they're doing it because they're like, this is a joke. This is not, this is not real. You know, and I tend to agree with them. But we gotta, we. I don't know, I'm such a, I'm, I'm such a spineless worm when it comes to. I'd be horrible in Congress because I'd be like, guys, we got to do something, we got to do something. So I guess this is best deal, you know, but we'll see. All right, thank you so much, Aaron. And by the way, no relation to Mr. Bean, right?

Aaron Bean (77:12)

Well, that's, that was my dad.

Glenn Beck (77:14)

That was your dad.

Aaron Bean (77:15)

You're thinking of a different Mr. Bean.

Glenn Beck (77:16)

Yeah. Mr. Bean. Yeah.

Aaron Bean (77:17)

When I've been a long time. Yeah, exactly. I've been a long time fan of you. The passion comes through in your voice, the love for our country. It's just infectious. If I ever need to be picked up, I turn on the Glenn Beck program and you do a wonderful job. So keep that up and hopefully we'll get a chance to talk again.

Glenn Beck (77:36)

This is Glenn, Becky, we go to Washington D.C. and Eduardo Wiesenmuller. Welcome, Eduardo. Hi Glenn, how are you? Good, how are you?

Stu Burguiere (79:28)

I really enjoy your show and I was just listening to the congressman, just wanted to echo what he was saying. I often when I peel down, I will also turn on the program.

Glenn Beck (79:41)

Really? It picks you up? No, no.

Stu Burguiere (79:45)

It does help push me over the edge in my suicide attempts though. A lot of times I feel discouraged and maybe that I shouldn't pull the trigger. And then I just tune into your program and it gives me the courage to give it a whirlwind and just.

Glenn Beck (80:02)

Wanted to say, helps you welcome Sweet, sweet death.

Stu Burguiere (80:04)

Sweet, sweet, sweet death is around the corner and I think of myself, wouldn't it be better if I was buried under six feet of dirt right now? Yeah, it really does bring me to that fridge. I will say though it's not always that way. Sometimes I think to myself, you know, when I'm feeling up, I will turn the show on too.

Glenn Beck (80:24)

Really?

Stu Burguiere (80:25)

Yes. When I'm feeling like I'm up on the top of a bridge and want to jump down also works well for that.

Glenn Beck (80:31)

All right, thank you, Eduardo. I appreciated it. Thank you so much.

Stu Burguiere (80:38)

It's nice to hear from the listeners.

Glenn Beck (80:40)

It is.

Stu Burguiere (80:41)

Sometimes they are great. They really appreciate you and everything that you do to them.

Glenn Beck (80:45)

Yeah. Thank you. You know what? I blame a lot of this on Sarah because Sarah said to me, what was it, Monday or last week? I came in and I said, sarah, how's the show sounding? And she said, quite honestly, meh. And I said, what do you mean? She said, it's.

Stu Burguiere (81:01)

That is what happens.

Glenn Beck (81:02)

It's not really scary. And I was like, well, there's nothing to be afraid of. And she's like, but that's not you.

Stu Burguiere (81:08)

That's true. It's very inconsistent with who you are. And you do tend to depress the people around you. That's something that's been known for a long time because it's funny because you were an alcoholic.

Glenn Beck (81:21)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (81:21)

You stop drinking. But the total amount that is being consumed by the show has increased.

Glenn Beck (81:27)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (81:28)

Even with you going to zero.

Glenn Beck (81:29)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (81:29)

The rest of the show is really increased. They're drinking with you.

Glenn Beck (81:33)

Especially Sarah.

Stu Burguiere (81:33)

Yeah. So.

From Barbara, she said, make mental institutions great again. She's talking about, you know, earlier I said that. What's happening? What Chris Rufo. You've got to listen to our number one of the podcast. But what Chris Rufo exposed yesterday about what's happening with the CIA and you know, NSA and all of the perversion and the. I mean, it's sick. It's sick. And I agree. Barbara. Make mental institutions great again. Ted wrote in, he said, glenn, Washington is not a swamp. A swamp is a God designed ecosystem to purify water. Washington is a sewer. So let's not besmirch swamps. I think you're right. I think you're right, Dad. I think you're right. Uh, sir, Dale wrote in, the founding Fathers told us, do not trust government. I'll follow their advice. I don't trust government, including this one. Um, Devin in wiser says, I don't think we should pay another dime in taxes, employers Say no, and we demand the IRS to be abolished. Yeah, that's. I mean, I love that in spirit. I do. I was closer, you know, when I was talking about today in our one with what's going on in Washington and these DOGE people that are like, no, I don't need to answer those five questions. Well, I gotta. You know what? I have a. I have a labor Union that and $144,000 job with benefits and perks and lifetime of retirement. Oh, my gosh. I really was like, I don't. I refuse to pay. I mean, these people are. They don't work for the president who's duly elected. So, you know, there's my representation, Congress. They don't work for Congress. They, I guess, work for the labor unions and themselves. No, I mean, no taxation without representation. Uh, Steve wrote in, how secure are these servers for the Chris Rufo sex secrets that he exposed yesterday? Well, I don't know. I mean, they're supposed to be our secure servers for spooks, you know, CIA, nsa, and everybody else to, you know, do confidential conversations. But, I mean, obviously not that secure. You know, the good thing is, is that we can just make it clear, you know, to China which ones have, you know, sex secrets that they could manipulate, you know, to be able to, you know, blackmail them. It's kind of nice, though, don't you think?

Stu Burguiere (84:31)

Makes perfect sense.

Glenn Beck (84:32)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (84:32)

Yeah.

Glenn Beck (84:33)

Join the discussion. Visit BlazeTV.com Glenn promo code Glenn, save $20. By the way, I'm also going to do an extra, I don't know, 45 minutes of the show today because we haven't had a chance to talk about Russia and Paris.

Stu Burguiere (84:47)

Russia on the cutting room floor today. Yeah, that's how much stuff is going on.

Glenn Beck (84:51)

I mean, it's.

Stu Burguiere (84:51)

That is a massive story.

Glenn Beck (84:53)

Massive story.

Stu Burguiere (84:54)

I don't, I don't like. I don't like it all that much. I don't think it's good. I don't think it's a positive. There's.

Glenn Beck (84:59)

I'm not. I'm not settled on it yet. I. I still am giving the benefit of the doubt, but I have a really different take on it. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Stu Burguiere (85:09)

Yeah, I mean, we can go into it a little bit maybe on the. Today's show if we have time, but I do think that there is a. The end game if it winds up being that. And Donald Trump talked about this yesterday, that Putin would accept European troops in Ukraine as peacekeeping force.

Glenn Beck (85:29)

Interesting.

Stu Burguiere (85:30)

If that happens, which is. Be a massive line for Putin to let go of. And if that happens and this thing's over, I mean, that might be a good outcome, you know, because that would create the sort of buffer zone that both sides seem to be looking for.

Glenn Beck (85:44)

Yeah, we'll talk about, about that after the show. You find it on Twitter and also at BlazeTV is Glenn Becky. Down the road where shadows hide Feel the dark on every side Stand your ground when times get dark I face the dog and embrace the fire the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Last night I'm laying in bed. I'm just trying to fall asleep. My mind is just going a billion miles an hour. I roll over, I see 2:41am and I'm like, good. I've, I've got to be up by 4:30. So that's, that's, that's really good. And then I just got up and I started writing because what my mind was going through was, I mean, does it feel like sometimes what's happening in the world is like a puzzle with pieces that are missing and you're like. And the edges are fray, fraying, so you can't really snap them together in place? I read something last night that I, I really needed to understand first because I needed to be able to share it with you today. And I, I think even with very little sleep, I think I can do it. Because it's important that you pay attention to one story that I guarantee no one is talking about today. We'll do that in 60 seconds. First, if you used to dream about owning your own home, you probably pictured the, you know, the fence and the tire swing swaying under the broad oak tree in the back and the breeze dancing across the freshly mown grass. And the sound of your children laughing as they played in the backyard. What you didn't dream about was the day you'd actually try to buy that home or when you tried to sell it later.

So yesterday, I stumbled on something that came across X, and it was a thread of posts by a guy that we have talked about here before, Alexander Dugan. This guy is a Russian thinker whose words sometimes feel like a storm gathering on the horizon. And most people don't know who he is. But trust me, what he's saying is not just noise could shake the ground that is under all of our feet. And especially when we're negotiating with Russia, we have to keep our eyes on Alexander Dugan. And we have talked about him on this program before because he is important. He's not just some random guy muttering in a basement. He is a big and powerful voice in Russia, and he whispers ideas to the leaders in Moscow and ideas that not only could, but have and will reshape the world in ways that, you know, you wouldn't expect and probably are not. For his post on X, they're cryptic lines about dark ages and technological black holes and the end of time and. But they're not random thoughts. And you really need to take the time, like I did last night, and just try to piece together what is he saying here, because they're all pieces of a story that he's telling. And it's a story as old as humanity itself, but twisted into something new and very dangerous. So let me explain it this way. I want you to imagine a clock tower. Clock tower in an old village. Its gears are grinding, its hands are now sticking and has been this way going for centuries, but it is just barely operating. That clock is our modern world, our science, our democracy, our smartphones, our highways built on reason and progress. But things are starting to gum up, right? So Dugan looks at that clock and sees that it is breaking and its gears are rusting and its hands are spinning out of control. And when you and I would say, we got to fix that thing, he doesn't say that he wants to smash it. He wants to take us back to a time before the clock existed and time and didn't matter, before science and reason. You know, back to a mythical, almost magical age where the world was filled with mystery and. And kings and gods held sway and everything felt sacred and ordered. Basically, the heart of what he's after is a return to a Past that never really existed. You know, he's looking for King Arthur's castle, but he believes that it can be reborn, but only through Russia. Now, I want to take you to his post that he. He posted yesterday where he talked about something called Kali Yuga. Oh, my gosh. It's like a long winter for the. The soul of the world. An age of chaos and greed and moral rot. He says thinkers believe this dark age that we're currently in may end in 2025, and it will open a door to a new beginning. Now, to you, that might sound like fairy tale or horoscopes or whatever, but to Dugan, this is a map. It's a prophecy that he is using to argue that our world, our jobs, our freedoms, our tech is all falling apart. And he believes that 2025, this year, could be the year the curtain drops on all of it. Now, he's not just predicting this. He is rooting for it. He sees it as a chance to rebuild a world where Russia, his homeland, rises like a savior, bringing back that lost magical order. Now, remember, his magical order is. Is. Is the fourth way. It's. You know, we had Communism, we had capitalism, and then we had fascism. He says none of those work. And fascism was close, but Hitler didn't go far enough. His words, not mine. And so he's got a. A fourth political way. And it is. It's not one that you would like. He also posted just on the same day, he mentioned the era of Aquarius. And so I immediately heard the Age of Aquarius. A new age idea about a coming time of change and a storm of cosmic shifts that are supposed to happen. He believes by 2030. I just want you to picture here a hurricane tearing through your town, ripping up the roads, the houses, everything that was built there, everything that was built, you know, with science and reason, and then replacing that with a magic castle with, you know, My Little Pony, something that he believes is more sacred and more pure, going back before we had the age of science and reason. So yesterday he. He talked about a black hole. He called it the Singularity. And he said, just like Elon Musk did, we're at the Singularity. This Singularity, we talked about it yesterday, is a moment where our AI are Elon Musk style. Dreams of the future collapse into something unknown and scary. He doesn't see this as progress. He sees this as a dark pit, a point where our modern world meets its end. So he is screaming for the Singularity to open up and swallow all of us, which will Open up, you know, for his vision to happen. So he was talking about how Trump just gets it done, has a get it done attitude, you know, a practical results first American spirit. Okay. He's not saying that in a good way. Okay. And it's really important to remember that, you know, Satan just doesn't lie. He takes truth and then he twists it so you can. There's always parts of it. You're like, well, no, but that's true. Right? You have to have a bit of truth to sell every lie. So you have to be careful. Listen, he is not praising Trump because he loves America. He is using him as a weapon against the global order that he wants to destroy, including our democracy, our open markets, our way of life, the, the liberal world order, meaning the Bill of Rights. This is why Dugan is dangerous, because he's not just dreaming in a corner on all of this. He's a strategist. He's feeding these ideas to Russian leaders, including Putin. They called him for years Putin's brain. He's pushing for a world where America's influence is crushed and where science and reason are replaced by myth and control. He wants Russia to lead a new empire to counterweight everything else, built on a strict mystical order where everyone knows their place and the past rules the future. So his posts on X are not just crazy rants. You really need to know what he is talking about. Their signals. He is sending signals to people, calling to action. The people who share his dream of a postmodern pre science world. Now let me talk to you about who else he influences. Let's talk about Iran. Iran is. Dugan is down in Iran all the time. Dugan is Putin's voice and chief architect for the relationship. Relationship between Iran and Russia. Or, you know, what those who study the Bible might call Gog and Magog. So I'll throw that in. Over. In Iran, as we have discussed, their spiritual leaders, they believe in a figure they call the 12th Imam or the Mahdi. It's a kind of messiah who will bring justice and restore a divine order at the end of time. My studies and understanding of the 12th Imam, or the Mahadi Christians would describe him as, oh, I don't know, the Antichrist. In Iran, they always talk about speeding up his return. Not the people of Iran, but the leadership of Iran. That that's why nuclear weapons are so frightening in their hands. Because they do believe that the world has to be cleansed in the fire of the Islamic fury. Their words, not mine. That is very similar to the view Dugan has. Dugan encourages this. Both he and the mullahs of Iran actually believe that the world needs to be washed in blood for true faith, order, and religion to return. Dugan and Iran, they are not buddies in the usual sense, but they're both obsessed with end times theories, wanting to hurry history's collapse to bring in a new sacred world. For Dugan, it's the end of Kali Yuga or that technological black hole. For Iran, it's the Mahdi's arrival. Both of them see our world, our science, our freedom, our global trade, our bill of Rights as rotten, ready to be torn down and rebuilt in a new way. Now, whether he's trying to usher in the Antichrist, I don't know. It's a big question, and it's tricky because he doesn't use that exact term, but his words always hint at that. In Christian tradition, the Antichrist is a figure who brings chaos and pretends to be the savior before the real savior comes. And Dugin's talk of dark ages, black holes, technological singularities, yesterday and a new order sounds like he is flirting with that idea, especially as he teams up with Iran. He sees our modern world as ruled by what he calls the prince of this world, kind of an evil spirit of materialism and freedom that he wants to replace. But be very, very careful, because what I just said, you could say, well, this is kind of a. This is ruled by the prince of this world, and it's kind of evil to what we. Yes, it is. But remember, truth mixed with lies. Whether he's constantly calling for the Antichrist or he's just tapping into that energy, his vision could, and he wants it to lead there, accelerating chaos, to give birth to something that he believes is divine, but has to be destructive at first. So is this evil? I don't know. Evil depends on perspective, doesn't it? I mean, the imams in or the mullahs over in Iran think we're evil. He doesn't see himself as evil. He sees himself as a savior and Russia as a savior, restoring the lost purity to the world. But his goals of smashing science, democracy, and individual freedom, to impose a rigid mystical hierarchy that would lead to suffering on a biblical scale. You know, anybody who's ever tried that in the past, we label them later as evil. So, yeah, I mean, he's not twirling his mustache and cackling while he ties Nell to the railroad tracks, but he does push a vision that destroys everything that we hold dear. And if that vision takes hold, it will crush the freedoms that you and I cherish. This is why he's dangerous. His passion. He wants to ignite a fire that burns the world as we know it. We are in a very, very precarious situation. And it's come clear to me over the last few weeks that perhaps we were saved this last election because we have bigger fish to fry. That there are much deeper spiritual things that are happening. And you saw them exposed by Christopher Ruffo yesterday. What's happening in Washington, that is spiritual, Ro. And there's two ways to go. We can go for the chaos route, which, by the way, is Dugan's personal symbol or logo if you want. It's the ancient side sign of chaos. And let's just remember who the father of chaos is. Dugan's clock tower isn't just breaking. He's announcing that it's about to crash. And he is handing out hammers to anyone who will help him smash and then rebuild it the way he wants. You need to stay awake. Listen carefully. Don't let the trick of false light or shadows bind you to the storm that he and others are brewing. We're not just talking about ideas. We're talking about the future. And Dugan's dream could drag us back into a darkness we have spent centuries trying to escape. But God's given us all the power to see it. You just have to know what to look for. And you have to stay close to him. You have to question it to be able to stand against it. And that's where the true light will start. Make sure you find the true light, because the darkness is. Is out of the shadows. And there are other things that are happening in this world besides what's happening in Washington. Hamas made it pretty clear last week that the war between them and Israel is not over. Their disgusting and flagrant disregard for the lives of the hostages pretty well proves that. In other words, Israel still needs our hope in this or our help in this time of need. And if you want to offer help and hope, you can do that by giving a gift today to ifcj. It will provide critically needed aid to communities in the north and the south devastated by the war. Any donation will deliver help and hope to those in need, including the evacuees and the refugees from the war torn areas, the first responders, the volunteers, the wounded soldiers, all of these, the people. So many people have lost everything. Giving hope during a time of great uncertainty is a real blessing. So give a bit. A gift to bless Israel and her people, people, by. By visiting supportifcj.org that's one word. Supportifcj.org or call 888-488-IFCJ. That's 888-488-IFCj. Call them now. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. 10 seconds. Station ID. So, you know, I fear that for most people because if you understand what is coming technologically, the singularity, you know how important this is, but most people don't understand it. And it's something that I've been talking about for almost 30 years off and on to try to prepare people, but nobody really paid attention. And I fear that people are not paying attention yet because they think what's coming our way is a new iPhone. They think that it's, you know, some new technology that will change us like the iPhone did, which was pretty profound in its change. I mean, look at that. This is not the iPhone. It's not anywhere close to the iPhone. And when Dugan and Musk and everybody else start talking about the singularity and you see the speed of which things are now picking up at, if you're not paying attention to technology right now, you have no idea. If you think that Donald Trump is moving at lightning speed, look at the growth in technology in the last 10 days. And I want to talk to you about the last 10 days here in just a second because I'm going to give you just, just one figure when we come back that it took me like 15 minutes and I've been pondering it ever since I read it yesterday. I keep going back to it going, wait a minute, wait a minute. Think of that number. Think about the size of that growth. It's, it's incomprehensible how much has grown in the last 10 days. And we'll give that to you here and some perspective on it coming up in just a minute. Also going to be doing a special after show show because I want to talk to you about Colony Ridge and, and also what's happening with Russia, Europe and Donald Trump and what I think is really going on there. We'll be doing that. You'll be able to find it at X and Also on Blaze TV if you're a subscriber. So subscribe now.

Glenn Beck (109:05)

So on Sunday, Elon Musk, the man who flings rockets into the heavens and dreams of Martian soil beneath his boots, posted something on X that was pretty fascinating. I talked about it a bit yesterday. He said, and I quote, we are on the event horizon of the singularity. Eight words. Eight words that carry the weight of centuries. It is a whisper of a future so immense that it threatens to swallow us whole unless we keep our eyes wide open. And even then, we just might be looking at the beast as it comes to swallow us. The singularity. Most people don't even know what it is. It sounds like something out of a sci fi movie. Oh, robots in trench coats with laser eyes. No, it's. I mean, you're not wrong to feel that way. Most people hear AI and they're like. Like all they think of is Siri saying, here's what I found on the Internet. Or their Roomba, you know, bumping into the couch. That's not AI, okay? That's not. It's nothing like they imagine this mo. This moment that Musk is talking about is something like the iPhone dropping in 2007. A neat little gadget, shiny toy step Forward, big one. But you can wrap your head around that one. But that's not what this is. We're not standing on the edge of a new app or a faster processor. We are teetering on the lip of a chasm, a black hole of change. And when. Once we cross that event horizon, there's no turning back. This is not a ripple that is coming. It's a tidal wave. It's. It's. It's 400 years of progress, but not stretched out over generations. It's 400 years crammed into the next five. And no one, not me, not Elon Musk, not the brightest minds in Silicon Valley, can tell you what life looks like five years from now. So let me paint you a picture, kind of a metaphor to tether this to something real. Imagine that you're a farmer in 1625, and you're standing in a money field in the colonial Virginia. Your world is really pretty simple. Wooden plows, horses, candlelight, rhythm of the seasons, sleep. When it's dark and you hear rumors of a contraption called a steam engine, but it's just a whisper, you know, curiosity. Over 100 years away from affecting your life. Now blink. You're standing out in that field. You heard about this thing called a steam engine. You blink, and it's 2025, and you're here with me, standing here staring at a smartphone that holds the knowledge of every library since Alexandria. My voice is coming out of that smartphone, and it's a device that you can use to summon your car to the doorstep or beam your voice across the ocean. That's 400 years of change that fast. And that's what's coming. Horse to horsepower, quill to quantum. You know, it took inventors and dreamers, wars and revolutions, to drag us from that field to today. But now picture this. All of that upheaval, all of that transformation squeezed into the next five years. Not centuries, not decades. Five little trips around our sun. That's what Musk is talking about when he talks about the singularity. That's the event horizon that we're brushing against. And here's where the story gets even wilder. Just in the last 10 days, you're not going to be able to keep up with the news very soon. If you think Trump is moving fast, watch technology. In the last 10 days, 10 days, AI hasn't tiptoed forward, it has sprinted. Take Xai Elon's own outfit. They rolled out Grok 3. That was a machine show so sharp that it made its predecessor, which almost collapsed the stock market 2. Two weeks ago from China. Look like an abacus. Uh, I don't know if you spent any time with Grok 3, but I have. And let me tell you, it's not just answering questions. It is thinking. It is weaving threads of logic faster than any human mind can dream. And reports say XAI has now cranked up the compute power by 15 times. What does that mean? Well, it hits something that I didn't understand. 400 exaflops. I don't know what. It sounds like something I do in a pool. For the uninitiated, that is a number so big it's like counting every grain of sand on every beach and then multiplying that number by the stars. Got it. Kind of a big number. Meanwhile, Nvidia is cooking up chips. Reuben, they call it a promise of four to five times the power of, of what I just described to you. And don't sleep because OpenAI, the OH1 model is about to be introduced. And it is. It's not going to parrot, they say it's going to fully reason. Then Claude is perhaps coming out this week, which is supposed to dwarf xai's grock. And then Gemini, which is supposed to come out, which will dwarf Claude. We're talking in a 10 year, in a 10 day period. This is kind of a lot of stuff. This is why what Musk said on the event horizon is so important. 10 days. 10 days of leaps that used to take 10 years. So what is an event horizon? Well, let me lean into the black hole idea that Musk loves to use. Picture yourself in a rowboat. You're on a calm lake. You're paddling along, you're having fun. Maybe you're, maybe your, your, your bow as an umbrella and in a lace dress. And you're like, I'm wearing a movie painting. And all of a sudden you know the shore is in sight and it feels all manageable. And then you hear and you're like, what? What the what? And then you realize there's a waterfall ahead. A drop so steep that you can't see the bottom. The event horizon is that line where the current grabs you and no amount of rowing can get you out of it. It just sucks you down the water. The water rushes so fast in this scenario, it, it bends time itself. That's where we are with AI. We're in a boat. The rumble is getting louder. And very soon, any day now we're going to be in that part where we're not going to be able to row ourselves. Back. Once artificial intelligence crosses this line, when it's not just mimicking us, but soon out thinking us, rewriting itself, accelerating beyond our grasp, we're over the edge. And just like a black hole twists light into spaghetti. Spaghettification, the singularity is going to twist our world into shapes that we cannot predict. And, you know, while I say these things, and I know what they generally mean, I'm so far out of my depth here, I have to listen and talk to experts every day to understand it. What I do understand makes the hair on my neck stand up because we have got to wake up the average person, you and me. The guy at the gas station thinks this is just another tech upgrade that is is coming. But they're picturing the iPhone moment, you know, Steve Jobs on stage, you know, holding the sleek little device, and everybody's like, ooh, Ah. And he's like. And you can watch something called the Internet on it. This isn't a phone. It's not that. This isn't a tool we control. This is a force that could remake everything. Your work, your love, your war, your faith in ways we can't even begin to fathom right now. Imagine waking up in 2030 and there's no jobs, because machines do. Absolutely everything in the city is run by algorithms, arts painted by circuits. AI's making all of the pop stars, and the music's better than it ever was. And your thoughts are whispered back to you by a chip in your own skull. That's not a gadget. That's our next reality. So let me take you back again and just connect a couple of the dots. Go back to the printing press. Gutenberg's little machine. It didn't just make books cheaper. 1440. It cracked the Middle Ages wide open. It fueled the Renaissance, the Reformation. The idea that for once, a farmer's son could read the Bible and question a king because only kings really had the Bible. That was a small singularity of its day. A spark that lit a firestorm of change. Jump to 18. What, 79. Edison in his light bulb wasn't just about turning on the light. It didn't just banish darkness. It rewired society. Factories started humming at night. Cities became electric veins. Every shift felt gradual, though, because it unfolded over lifetimes. But AI is not. It's going to compress those revolutions into a heartbeat. In five years. We leap from today's chatbot to machines that outsmart Einstein, Design City, cure diseases, or, God forbid, decide that we're obsolete. But the real thing that I want to pass on to you today is. It's not about tech. It's really not. This is about us. This is about what does it mean to be human when our ground is shifting under our feet? What does it mean to be human? Because if Musk is right and we're at that event horizon, the next five years are not just a chapter. It is a whole new book. And we're not the author of that book. It will. Humans will no longer write the story. So how do we explain this to the guy who thinks it's just a fancier iPhone? How do we tell him it's not a tool, it's a mirror? AI will reflect us for a while, back to ourselves, Our brilliance, our flaws. And then soon it will be a lens that we cannot unsee. And it will forever be seeing us. Literally everything we do, think and dream, literally. It will know our dreams. It's not a phone in your pocket. It's a new compass for a world where north may not exist anymore. So if we're staring down 400 years of change in five, you don't stand and gawk at the waterfall. You got to grab the oars not to roll the. Not to roll the boat back because you can't. But to steer it through. And what's our compass? It's not code. It's not circuits. It's the stuff that has always kept humanity steady when the storms hit. It's family. It's the voices around your table. It's the hands you hold when the lights flicker. It's relationships. It's your children, your grandchildren. The friend who calls you out when you're wrong. The neighbor who shares their bread when you're hungry. It's the principles and the truths that you die for, the lines that you will never cross. And yes, what makes us human is God, the anchor beyond the horizon, the voice that whispers purpose when the machines cannot. AI is going to cure cancer. I don't know how, but it could do it by just rewriting our entire genetic code. Is that a good idea? It'll help us colonize Mars. But it will not answer why we're here. It won't hug your kid when they scrape their knee or forgive you when you've lost your way. In the last 10 days, I have watched Grok. Three string sentences that stun me, but it doesn't feel the weight of them. That's our job. And this singularity as it looms. We have got to wrestle with the big questions. What is real? What is worth fighting for? What keeps us human? When lines blur, you have to explore this tech. But do not let the dazzle of tech blind you to the flesh and blood beside you, the eternal truths that are above you, nor the natural wonders and miracles that are all around you. Picture this one last metaphor. You're a pioneer on a wagon train, 1840. You're creaking across the plains ahead is the mountain range. And I'm like, I'm not going, right? That's when I check out. I'm not. I'm not going. It's a jagged unknown that is promising gold or ruin. The mountain range is the singularity and we're rolling towards it really fast. Some are going to see there's gold in them, our hills. And they will chase it blind. Others will cling to the old trails, pretending the peaks just don't exist. But the wise. The wise are going to pack their wagons tight, their food, their faith, their family, and they're going to climb that mountain with their eyes wide open. They'll know the journey's not about the mountain. It's about who's with you when you reach the other side. This isn't an iPhone moment, it's a reckoning. When the waterfall takes us. It's not tech that will save us. It is the true north that we will all carry inside of us. Make sure your compass is pointing true north now.

Stu Burguiere (125:36)

I've been here the whole time though you don't need to welcome me now.

Glenn Beck (125:38)

I haven't really noticed that you were even here. Me neither. Let me. Geez, we've got so much to talk about yet. Can you stay for just a couple of minutes? I'm going to do an extra show on X and also on BlazeTV for subscribers because we didn't get a chance to talk about Russia. I really want to talk about the Congo story.

Stu Burguiere (126:00)

Oh yeah, it's pretty interesting.

Glenn Beck (126:02)

Yeah. Your, your mood may not improve, Mark.

Stu Burguiere (126:07)

No, no, I'll tell you.

Glenn Beck (126:09)

Let's just say it involves bats. This is Glenn. Becky. Hey. So here we are. It's kind of an after after show show thing. Just finished and just had so much to talk about today. We didn't get a chance to talk about a couple of really big things. One of them is Russia. And so Stu's here and also Jason Buttrell who is our chief researcher and global affairs, you know, then I don't mean politics. He has affairs all over the globe. And I want to just talk about, let's start with, with Russia because I think what Donald Trump is doing is playing five dimensional chess.

Stu Burguiere (127:01)

So.

Glenn Beck (127:02)

Yeah, I hope so. I hope so too. But I, I give him the benefit of the doubt because I think that's what he's doing. You know, he, he went in, is like, you know what? We need your rare earth minerals. And at first that bothered me and then I'm like, well now wait a minute, hang on just a second. What are we going to be giving? Because it's not just for the hundred billion or two hundred billion or seven hundred trillion that we actually sent over there. I think it is. Look, you want to make sure Russia never comes in, you make sure we have vested interest here. He's negotiating like a guy who's trying to get the best deal for America. We're not going to come in. We have no interest here. However, we have to have rare earth minerals. This is China's Silken Road thing, is it not?

Dan Bongino (127:50)

Yeah. Before I address that, I would like to say that the fact that war, the potential of World War III made the after show. It's amazing what the hell was being talked about in the other three hours. And a Glenn Beck radio show. I will say with the rare earth minerals things, I think it's genius on a couple different levels. On one, he's bringing out into the open exactly what the Democrats have been after since 2014 and before. So now he's laying out on the table. No more secret. Okay, yeah. This is what the establishment on my side wants. Now, will it benefit this side of the asset, you know, this side of the party as well? Sure, but let's just put all of our cards out on the table. That is how you negotiate. Not by holding in a little secret compartment, which I'm not saying you have one of those at your poker table like at the ranch. I'm not saying that exists. Yeah, but there's no secret little thing out here. You know, he's putting all the. Oh, don't worry about it.

Glenn Beck (128:43)

Still don't worry about it.

Dan Bongino (128:45)

Just come play poker with me. Yeah, yeah. So you're just putting all the cards on the table. That's how negotiations are done. But he's also doing something else. He's signaling to Putin. Look, there's nothing. I'm not hiding anything here. Yeah, this is all about interests, right?

Glenn Beck (129:00)

Maligning interests.

Dan Bongino (129:01)

If you want to deal with us, you're dealing with hard nosed geopolitical interests. Yes, there's nothing else here at stake but that. Now, now you can come to the negotiating table and offer me something. Yeah, I can offer you something.

Glenn Beck (129:13)

We're not trying to be a gate gateway into your country. This is our interest here. Our interest is that we don't want any trouble with you. We're not going to put, you know, a superhighway into Russia because our interest is in Ukraine. And we want the rare earth minerals because we need them if we're going to lead the world in tech. I think it's absolutely brilliant. And you notice he flexed that muscle first. He looks like he's cozying up to Russia because he needs to be able to, you know, flex with Russia. He has to have the rare earth. Well, now you got the United States in here and it's not NATO, but you have the United States. So we're not going to put up with. I mean, you're not doing this again. And so he's played this, I think. I mean, he is perhaps the best negotiator any country has ever had.

Dan Bongino (130:09)

And I will say that this is not revolutionary thought here. This is the way foreign policy, things like that used to be done. It's just post Cold War, we shifted into this hazy like. No, we're doing this because we're the most righteous nation in the planet, even though we're also cool with the Saudis and Erdogan and Turkey. I think, you know, like, there's nothing. It's just about interest here. And, and you do not do.

Glenn Beck (130:34)

It's transparency.

Dan Bongino (130:35)

It's transparency. And you also do a negotiation by recognizing that both sides have interests in this thing. You do not do a negotiation when you have the UN which we all know is ridiculous anyway and worthless. But when every single year, they're gonna do this ceremonial vote, which they just had again, where they say, let's condemn Russia for their invasion again. But why? We're doing it again. Okay, but, but, but why does it have anything at all to do with. There's certain sides of people at the table that now are looking for peace and not war.

Glenn Beck (131:09)

Yes. Oh, crap.

Dan Bongino (131:10)

I wasn't supposed to say that, right? No, no, no. We're just gonna do it again, right? We're gonna vote again so that they look like the bad guys, the ultimate evil guy twisting their mustachios, and we look like the guy that's coming to save the chick that's tied up on the railroad. That's why we want to do it.

Glenn Beck (131:24)

And look at how he's treated Macron. Yesterday. Macron comes in and he was like a little lap dog for Donald Trump. Oh, you are so great. I had the wonderful chat with you. And he all of a sudden, okay, we're going to do. 4% of our GDP is going to go. I mean, look at what Donald Trump got from Macron. And an understanding that we're not going to put any boots there. You, you want to, you want to guarantee the peace? You can guarantee that we're not putting boots there. We're not doing that now. No president has ever done this in my life.

Dan Bongino (131:58)

Yeah, I mean, I can't. I mean, it's sad to say that that's what we have to admit now, after this many years and this much escalation, I think that now, going back to the UN vote, which is what everybody was clutching their pearls on, you know, that we kind of. Well, we did vote along with Russia and not condemning this invasion because we've already done it in the past. Everyone understands. Stu's giving me the stink guy. And I'm just going to, like, say this anyway, is yes, yes, obviously everyone agrees that the invasion shouldn't have happened. All the people should not have died. This is a bad thing. And Russia did do that. But why say it again? That's not how you advance in Any kind of negotiation. That's not how you do it. Most of these articles are not putting the main headline that United States offered a counter resolution that did get voted on, not in the General assembly, but amongst the Security Council, which did pass, which took out all the inflammatory language. It did not not finger point back and forth. It acknowledged the fact that this invasion sucks, the war sucks, and all these people have died.

Glenn Beck (132:57)

What do you get out of finger pointing? You just. That's just beating your chest war. Yeah, that's what you get. That's it. I mean, we got that, you know, everybody finger pointed at the Treaty of Versailles. Congratulations on that one. Yeah, that worked out well.

Stu Burguiere (133:10)

Yeah, I don't care about the resolution at all.

Glenn Beck (133:13)

Whatever.

Stu Burguiere (133:13)

We've already done that. I mean, I don't know. I think it's relatively clear what happened at the beginning of this war. That being said, it's like, I think we get hung up in Donald Trump's negotiations a little bit too much. I think it's like he's negotiating with someone, it ain't us. So I don't need to chase him around every little corner and everything he says because it does me no good. I wanna judge him on his results. And for example, he at least claims, again, this is not done. But he claims that Putin has now approved European troops inside of Ukraine. That's true. That's a major concession from Russia. I mean, I would like Russia to get nothing out of this because I think that they were the aggressor here. However, we are where we are, and if we want this thing to end and not blow up into World War Three, we have to at some point look at this and come to some sort of conclusion. And I want it over without it blowing up into a giant nuclear war. And I also want, in the future, Russia to be prevented from doing this again. And I think that's probably the best Ukraine can hope for at this point. They're not going to get Crimea back. It's probably not happening now. They can try, by the way, we should point out. They can try. They can do all this stuff on their own. They are a sovereign nation and can try to do everything. They want to try to get that territory back, but we are not required to participate in that. And if they want to go to Europe and get all that money for all that stuff, okay. But I mean, we have a new president, he has new policy. We do have to honor what the country did. I think it's weird to go to Ukraine and say, hey, here's all this money, and then later on act like they have to pay it back. They don't. They don't have to pay it back. Probably because we did make promises by a guy who unfortunately was President of the United States, Joe Biden. That being said, Donald Trump also has the opportunity as a new president to change the policy and to try to change the dynamic of this negotiation. Seems like that's what he's trying to do. I'm not gonna sit here and just chase around everywhere because he starts calling Zelensky names. I don't need to freaking upend my life. I don't know. Let's see where this thing ends.

Glenn Beck (135:18)

He called Rocket Man.

Stu Burguiere (135:20)

Exactly. These are all negotiations. And we act as if this guy wasn't already president. We saw all this. We all saw this before.

Glenn Beck (135:29)

And the deals he has made so far, assuming that they all come through, you know, in Latin America.

Stu Burguiere (135:37)

Israel.

Glenn Beck (135:38)

Israel worked out really well. The way he is dealing with these countries is working.

Dan Bongino (135:46)

Yeah.

Glenn Beck (135:47)

Could you, by the way, see cpac? How many leaders of foreign countries were there for his speech at cpac? It was remarkable.

Stu Burguiere (135:56)

Yeah.

Glenn Beck (135:56)

Hungary, Poland. Who else was there? Argentina, El Salvador. Gosh, Just a bunch of countries that are thinking like we are thinking now. It was nice to see.

Dan Bongino (136:10)

It's because the style is transactional. It's like business. You're never gonna get anywhere with some of these countries and get anything pulled off. Like the Abraham Accords. When you come in and say, look, I'm directing these negotiations. Why? Because we're the United States of effing America.

Glenn Beck (136:26)

Yeah. And we're better than you.

Dan Bongino (136:27)

And we're so much better than you. That gets nowhere. You get nothing done. But what does get done is when you say, look, this is what you can get. This is what we want. Can we meet in the middle?

Glenn Beck (136:36)

Barack Obama would have called this pragmatic.

Stu Burguiere (136:40)

But what you just described is how he talks to our allies, which is, I think, disconcerting to a lot of people.

Glenn Beck (136:47)

Right.

Stu Burguiere (136:47)

Like he bosses them around and he tosses them around, and that's how he changes the dynamic.

Dan Bongino (136:52)

This is so ridiculous.

Glenn Beck (136:53)

I hate that.

Dan Bongino (136:54)

So allies do not mean marriage for life. No, that's the same thing. I'm gonna say the thing that's gonna piss off a lot of people right now. But NATO is a temporary alliance, not marriage for life.

Glenn Beck (137:07)

Agreed.

Dan Bongino (137:08)

That's what it is.

Stu Burguiere (137:10)

Beneficial for us. We stay in it. If it's not, we don't.

Dan Bongino (137:12)

Exactly.

Stu Burguiere (137:13)

And, you know, look, you can argue all the I know you've done shows on this, Jason in particular, but it's like at the end of the day, like, this is how he does it. He's nice to our enemies and he's mean to our allies. That's how he operates. At the beginning of a negotiation, he usually has some sort of end game in mind. And it may very well be our interest in these minerals right, where we do benefit from them as a country.

Glenn Beck (137:39)

But also so do they.

Stu Burguiere (137:40)

It puts us in a position where we don't want Russia to go in there anymore. And just aligning long term benefits them, even though they might not like it. Yes, again, I, I, it might, he might not go down this road. I don't know. We're all analyzing some weird code, but that's the point. Like, I just, I'm out of the code game at this point. Let's see where he lands. Let's see what happens.

Glenn Beck (138:01)

If you would start with the premise. He loves the country and he's not trying to enrich himself or his buddies. He loves the country, is trying to make a good deal for the country and the world. You have no problem with this because every time he has done these things, he has made a better deal.

Stu Burguiere (138:20)

But I think it's funny to extend it real quick, Jason, the other side of this is also true. The media views him through the prism that he's a fascist and Hitler and the worst person on the world, and he hates America. So if you view it for that, from that prism, you can also find all the negatives because he's saying everything. He's saying all really good things and all really bad things and all over the place. And that's how he manages these things.

Glenn Beck (138:43)

Little Rocket man, he's going to order vampirize.

Stu Burguiere (138:47)

And he's my best friend, and he's my best friend neither. This is how he does these things. And if you realize that you kind of like, you know, you back off. It's like, you know, you're watching a Fast and Furious sequel. It's like there's lots of car crashes, but at the end, they're gonna save family a bunch of times and everything's gonna be fine.

Glenn Beck (139:04)

And you know what you get to the end of when you hear American, early American policy, it was to be enemy to none, friend to all. Well, that's Little Rocket Man. I love him. I love him. I mean, we got a lot that we don't have in common, but I don't have a problem with him.

Stu Burguiere (139:20)

He obviously has a problem with Kim Jong Un. Yes, the man is murdering A bunch of his people.

Glenn Beck (139:25)

He's starving. Like, he.

Stu Burguiere (139:27)

This is not North Korea is not the way that Donald Trump would. Would picture a nation. Look at the picture between South Korea and North Korea. All the lights are out. This is not the world that Donald Trump wants. He wants all the glitz and the glamour of every light.

Dan Bongino (139:40)

But stating the obvious in negotiation, like, that's not going to get you anywhere.

Glenn Beck (139:43)

No.

Dan Bongino (139:43)

It's going to get you the stagnation that you had before. And then the whole thing, like. Like you mentioned, you know, being mean to our allies, which, again, irritates me when I hear people talk like that. Because what else are you supposed to do when you've had this marriage that you're not never supposed to negotiate? You constantly get taken advantage of in the global stage. So him being mean when I see it is him looking at a group of countries that are still operating on a system that was built post World War II, where he's saying, like, okay, I know I'm supposed to be absolutely nice here, but why do you have, like, 50% more tariffs on, like, automobiles? And we're getting screwed when we try to. How is that fair when it's built up on reconstruction after World War II?

Glenn Beck (140:27)

This is the first. This is the first administration that is now post post World War II, whatever systems we set up after World War II, and we made all these deals and we're all going to behave a certain way. He's like, yeah, none of that works anymore, so we're not doing that 50 years later.

Stu Burguiere (140:47)

Yeah.

Dan Bongino (140:48)

That's insane.

Stu Burguiere (140:48)

Yeah. Well, I mean. And look, those 50 years have been pretty good for the United States, but. So you don't necessarily. But it's not working all that up for no reason, but, like, it's not working, working. And I think, like, he sees a calcification in all of this that he wants to break up.

Glenn Beck (141:00)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (141:00)

And, like. And by the way, he should be judged on the results of this.

Glenn Beck (141:04)

Yes.

Stu Burguiere (141:04)

This doesn't mean he's a magician. He might screw this up. It might go poorly if it does. We should judge him that way. Yeah, but, like, to get all fired up about every freaking, you know, truth he puts out there, it's just silly. And it's like these really sophisticated people in the media, it's like, like, come on, you guys know this. You guys were all there. You were watching this. You watched it happen last time. You watched it with North Korea, you watched it in Israel. You watched it all over the world. This is how he handles it. We know you don't like it, but the American people said they did.

Glenn Beck (141:36)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (141:36)

And so they were on board. You're gonna have to understand that this is the world we live in.

Glenn Beck (141:40)

And it amazes me that people don't see that he is just moving the Overton window. That's all he's doing. Yeah, that's just moving the Overton window. And, and we're seemingly doing well for that one.

Stu Burguiere (141:57)

I go take my show.

Glenn Beck (141:58)

Wait, wait, wait. Before that, you got to tell me the Congo story. Have you heard this? This will be on tomorrow show. Listen to this again.

Stu Burguiere (142:05)

Another thing that should probably make the main show. So a couple, three kids in the Congo, little hungry. You know that happens in the Congo. You know, as you might know, they are looking for some food. They, they, they find some food in the form of a say with me. Dead bat carcass.

Glenn Beck (142:23)

Yeah.

Dan Bongino (142:23)

Oh, no.

Glenn Beck (142:24)

So, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So here's the upside. Here's the upside. When he first told me this story, I thought one of the kids gonna eat the other kid. Yeah. And so no, it wasn't happy news. It wasn't cattle.

Stu Burguiere (142:34)

It was cannibalizing.

Glenn Beck (142:35)

It was just, they were like, hey, that looks like a bat. Looks good. Let's eat it.

Stu Burguiere (142:39)

Now fast forward a fat soup.

Dan Bongino (142:41)

Sounds like it's familiar to me.

Glenn Beck (142:43)

They just probably just ate it. Wings at all now could have been.

Stu Burguiere (142:45)

Like, look, maybe the meat was rancid. Right. Bad things happen when you eat bad meat. And, and I will say about three days after they ate this bat carcass, all three kids were dead. So that's bad. That's bad now that's bad. But again, could be rancid. They ate the bee, the bat. So that's bad. Fast forward a few days later. Now 50 additional people are dead.

Dan Bongino (143:10)

Oh no.

Stu Burguiere (143:11)

There's now 413 cases of this. 431 cases of this illness.

Glenn Beck (143:18)

But they're not, they're testing negative for Ebola and Marburg. So it's not that.

Stu Burguiere (143:22)

It's not. Neither one of those symptoms are fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, headaches, fatigue. And then I think you melt the significant portions of the deaths taking place within 48 hours of the onset of.

Glenn Beck (143:35)

So there's some more good news. And get this. And you're like, I don't really feel dead. Right.

Stu Burguiere (143:40)

And remember we used to talk about, with COVID we'd have that fatality rate. Like what is it? Is it 0.4%? Is it 0.5%? What is it? This one's so far 12.3%.

Glenn Beck (143:49)

Wow. So. But the good news is I don't think we've. I don't think we've. We've cordoned that part of Congo off yet. Right. So I don't know about you, but I'd have flamethrowers making just a giant ring of fire around that whole area.

Dan Bongino (144:07)

That, that. That virus spec specifically is what has always freaked ever since outbreak with Dustin Hoffman. I was like, when that goes out, okay, yeah, I'm. I'm moving to the mountains because I think I'm never coming back.

Stu Burguiere (144:16)

How dangerous would this be right now after what we just went through? Because so many people now are. Would completely blow off the US government if they told them there was a 12.3% fatality rate on some virus that's coming to. They're so sick of it. They heard all this. You lied to us last time. We're not listening to a word you said.

Glenn Beck (144:33)

Yeah, but 12 out of every hundred.

Stu Burguiere (144:34)

People, it would make an impact quickly, but it would take. There would be a lot of people who would still, you know, not. Not want to hear it.

Glenn Beck (144:42)

Were any of these kids related at all to Fauci?

Stu Burguiere (144:45)

He was doing gain of function research.

Glenn Beck (144:47)

In the area, right?

Stu Burguiere (144:48)

I don't know, but he was just down there. It was. That was just a vacation. He was just down there.

Glenn Beck (144:52)

He's just doing that for fun. All right. Thank you. Thanks or thank you, Stu. I appreciate it. Let me get Michaela in here because we have before we get to Colony Ridge, some big news on that. Mikayla, tell us a story quickly of the. Of the Mass family and what's happening today. Okay. An update of little baby sparrow.

Mikayla (145:11)

Little baby sparrow update in a nutshell. If you haven't heard the full story of baby sparrow, you can go to glenn beck.com savebabysparrow but in a nutshell, our State department attempted to sweep the life of a little girl under the rug to cover up for their botched attempt at peace in Afghanistan.

Glenn Beck (145:29)

Yeah. What a surprise.

Mikayla (145:31)

Yes. So she was recovered by our soldiers during a mission in Afghanistan when her parents, biological parents, who were likely foreign fighters, were killed. Then two Americans.

Glenn Beck (145:41)

Not just killed. Yes, Killed in a firefight. And then mom, while holding little baby.

Mikayla (145:46)

Sparrow, potentially holding or nearby or nearby.

Glenn Beck (145:49)

Blew herself up.

Mikayla (145:50)

Yes.

Glenn Beck (145:50)

So, I mean, you know, it wasn't like, oh, my gosh. And they were killed.

Mikayla (145:55)

No, it was a fight to the death against our soldiers. And then our soldiers decided to save the baby of their enemies. And then two American parents decided to step up and adopt her to ensure her survival. Because after the explosion of the ied, she had a lot of medical needs. I mean, she was six weeks old at this point.

Glenn Beck (146:14)

And the Afghanis that were on our side against the Taliban wanted her dead.

Mikayla (146:18)

They did.

Glenn Beck (146:18)

They tried to kill her. The Taliban wants her to be a symbol, to be a fighter, so they can blow her up later or have her blow herself up later. And she has absolutely no future with the Taliban. I mean, it's either blow yourself up or, you know, just be covered as a woman with no options as you grow up. So our State Department was just evil on this and they're having their court case reheard today.

Mikayla (146:47)

Yes. So there's a battle for her custody. It's important to understand why. It's because her mere existence would show that the peace agreement that we made with Afghanistan which stipulated there were no foreign fighters in Afghanistan, well, she's the daughter of a foreign fighter. Thus the State Department finds her existence inconvenient.

Glenn Beck (147:06)

Right. She has to be Afghani, so she has to go back to Afghanistan.

Mikayla (147:09)

Right. And so today in Virginia, where her American parents adopted her, she is facing a case where if it goes the wrong way, she is potentially ripped from her American family who loves her, who have been with her for multiple years, raising her, helping to recuperate from all the trauma she's experienced. She's ripped from them. She's sent to Afghanistan with two likely non relative, unvetted, potentially Taliban linked claimants back to a place where she has, where her family is here. So that's on the line today, right now in the Supreme Court of Virginia.

Glenn Beck (147:48)

Okay, we need your prayers and specifically we need the State Department, the DOJ and the Pentagon to step up and do the right thing and correct the things that the Biden administration did. And go ahead if you'd like a.

Mikayla (148:06)

Little bit of good news on this front about the power of what our audience is doing. I've been listening. I think some good news is in order for all of us, perhaps. Some good news is that I believe our audience, audience is not going to let Baby Sparrow be sent back to Afghanistan. And here's just a little glimmer of hope. There's a lot of good news that is coming that we can't talk about yet. Talk about yet. But I can tell you a little bit. There is a woman who's a long standing bureaucrat in D.C. she was instrumental, Donna Welton was instrumental in placing Baby Sparrow with these unvetted claimants in Afghanistan. Interesting timing. She has decided to, let me say it correctly, conclude her tenure in advance of imminent retirement in the last few days.

Glenn Beck (148:51)

Oh, my gosh.

Mikayla (148:52)

So I believe this timing has something to do with the fact that our audience has been sharing this story. People like Sean Ryan have gone out and shared this story, naming her by name, and we can't say for sure, but I have a hunch that the power of everyone sharing her story and getting involved is already putting pressure in the right places, and the right people are starting to bow out. And hopefully that will mean this is just the beginning of miracles for Baby Sparrow.

Glenn Beck (149:16)

Thank you so much. Appreciate it. You've done great work on this. Thank you. You should watch the podcast or you can get all the information@glenn beck.com. all right, let me do one more thing here, and that is Colony Ridge. We did. You and I both went to Colony Ridge two years ago. Three years ago seems like another lifetime ago. That long. I know. And we went to Colony Ridge because this is a place in Texas that is. It's. It's all illegals, or that's what it feels like. Now, Colony Ridge would deny that, but they don't require any proof of ID or anything else. And Colony Ridge has done all of the financing for these people. That way they don't have to go to a bank with any kind of id. And it's.

Dan Bongino (150:05)

Well, this will some, like, ein number, you know, something like that. Or a passport.

Glenn Beck (150:09)

Yeah.

Dan Bongino (150:10)

But nothing. Nothing that would show, like, U.S. citizenship.

Glenn Beck (150:13)

Yes. And they've been advertising in foreign countries saying, own a piece of America. And it is enormous. It is gigantic. We've been talking about this for a while. We've been talking to the state of Texas about this for a while. And. And yesterday it became something on everybody's radar and active. What happened yesterday?

Dan Bongino (150:35)

So the governor of Texas said that the operation was starting that day yesterday to go in and start clearing out Colony Ridge of illegals. And as of this morning, we're actually getting video footage of that operation. Tom Holman said that the border czar said that they got. They arrested 90 criminal illegals. It sounds like. So let's put that in context. 90 people. There's about, what, like 120,000 people that live in that area?

Glenn Beck (151:02)

Yeah.

Dan Bongino (151:04)

But I'm sure he's there. It sounds. The wave, just from hearing him talk, it sounds like they're starting this rollout or this phase similar to how they're doing it in the entire country. They're focusing on the violent criminals first. Yeah. Then they're Moving.

Glenn Beck (151:16)

Because the good guys, the good guys, generally the ones that are here that are not violent criminals are going to be like, I don't want the hassle. I'm moving. Moving. Yeah. I'm just going back home. And they'll self deport. And then those who don't, they'll just go and get.

Dan Bongino (151:29)

Yeah, it's hard.

Glenn Beck (151:30)

Deport them.

Dan Bongino (151:31)

It's hard to describe. And you. And we saw it when we were there, like, it. You literally feel like you're stepping into a third world country big time. Once you're like, remember that there was that, that area right in the beginning where it's got like the more affluent people, like the nicer houses, but you drive what, one to two blocks?

Glenn Beck (151:46)

Oh, and it's like scruffy dogs in the middle of the street. And it's like every third third world.

Dan Bongino (151:50)

Country you've ever seen, no zoning laws, it seems like. So they have. They operate businesses inside their homes.

Glenn Beck (151:56)

Well, Houston doesn't have zoning laws. It's the only country, the only city in the country that it says no zoning. You'd build whatever you want. And it generally works.

Dan Bongino (152:06)

It's.

Glenn Beck (152:06)

It generally works.

Dan Bongino (152:07)

It's the oddest. It's. It feels weird to see that because it's. It's like if you walk.

Glenn Beck (152:12)

Well, it doesn't work in that area because it's just all upside down anyway.

Dan Bongino (152:19)

And it looks like if you ever walked, it walked around Tijuana, Mexico, or some Juarez. That's what it feels like. It's exactly like that. We look, we. So you I talked to. I can't remember how many people, dozens of people asking them, are you a citizen? How'd you get here?

Glenn Beck (152:35)

I have, I have a clip from the real story of Colony Ridge that Jason and I both did. Here's a woman that he talked to. It's cut. Nine.

Dan Bongino (152:45)

Person after person was willing to talk to us, including this woman running a taqueria in her yard. Do you live here in Colony Ridge? See, when did you come here? And you came from where?

Glenn Beck (152:59)

Houston.

Dan Bongino (153:00)

And before.

Glenn Beck (153:01)

Before that, Mexico.

Dan Bongino (153:02)

Did you become a citizen when you came over here? Or still haven't done that yet? No, that was just one conversation.

Glenn Beck (153:09)

So here's what, here's what I thought of. Here's what I thought of yesterday as I'm seeing this thing start to happen. You know how big that is? I mean, that is in 120,000.

Dan Bongino (153:19)

People kind of fly with a helicopter.

Glenn Beck (153:21)

Yeah. And it just never ends. It just never ends. And. And the two brothers that own it, they're the ones doing all the financing. What is going to happen to them when this whole, you know, citizens are not going to move into that place because it's just not, it's not, it's substandard and everything. It'll either be poverty town, USA for citizens, but they'll just lose their shirt. I mean, they are done for as high as they were and living, you know, like, hey, well, you know, business is business. They're. They're screwed.

Dan Bongino (154:01)

Yeah, I didn't, I remember doing that. I never didn't really know what to think about the two brothers, especially the one that we spoke to, because when we first talked to him, he sounded like, oh, he's all just about helping out, you know, immigrants, you know, it's for them. But then we would talk to other people that say, yeah, but these lending, things like that, I kind of feel like we were backed into a corner and, you know, held at gunpoint, basically.

Glenn Beck (154:21)

It was, it was almost predatory. It felt like predatory lending. And then if you lost the house, they just took it back and then they could sell it again.

Dan Bongino (154:31)

One of my favorite parts, you're asking him about all these like, crimes that happen, you know, through all this research, and it's like, no, that wasn't even here. That was like another zip code. You know, all the stuff. No, no, it's like the crime is like percentage wise, the same as any other community. We walked out and we're like, well, crap, you know, is that true? We go immediately and talk to the. What was the sheriff?

Glenn Beck (154:49)

Yeah.

Dan Bongino (154:49)

And he's like, oh yeah, all that solid stuff you talk about is true. Happened right there in Colony Ridge, crying.

Glenn Beck (154:54)

Here's where we found the dead body.

Stu Burguiere (154:56)

Yeah.

Glenn Beck (154:56)

We're like, wait a minute.

Dan Bongino (154:58)

It was insane.

Glenn Beck (154:59)

Wow.

Dan Bongino (155:00)

But, but I guess the biggest point on, you know, so that one clip that you just played and thinking about the 120,000 people that are there. I only spoke to one person that said, yeah, I'm a citizen. And it was obvious that this person was a citizen. Everybody else said they were not a citizen. So think about the. Just average that out of 120,000 people. How much work does Homan and Ice have to do now and what is that going to take in that area?

Glenn Beck (155:27)

It's the cleaning up of just the mess that this last administration left us is, is phenomenal. I mean, with what we found out yesterday about what's happening with the CIA and everything else with. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, that is just. If you didn't hear that. Listen to the podcast. You find it wherever you get your podcast. But it's right at the beginning, and it is just. It's disgusting. You'll never want to pay taxes again. You just. You never will. Thank you for coming in. Let me just leave with two, two things here because two people cried over their show yesterday. First, let me go give you Joy Reid crying over the last show she's doing, but also that my show had value and that I'm sorry that what I was doing had value. Had value.

Mikayla (156:29)

The moment of guilt that I felt.

Glenn Beck (156:32)

That I went hard on so many issues, whether it was the Black Lives Matter issues or went hard for immigrants who've done nothing but come to this country like my parents did, or whether we've talked about what the president is doing that is subversive to the Constitution. And yes, whether it's talking about Gaza.

Mikayla (156:52)

And the fact that we as the.

Glenn Beck (156:53)

American people have a right to object. Yeah, you do have a right to object to little babies being bombed. And where I come down on that.

Stu Burguiere (157:03)

Is I'm not sorry.

Glenn Beck (157:04)

I am not sorry that I stood up for those. Those things, because those things are of God having a hard time. Because I don't like little babies being bombed, but I also don't like them being raped and then their heads chopped off and then set on fire. I think that's also probably something that has value. And then one, one more person cried yesterday at the end of his podcast, an end of his radio show show, our good friend Dan Bongino, here's what he said. Kind of broke down a bit because it was. This is now real. So President, Attorney General Bondi, and now Director. Gosh, that sounds good to say. FBI Director Akash Patel offered this role, role I expressed an interest in. And ladies and gentlemen, I told you, you see, it's hard for me. I'm going to accept the role proudly as the deputy director of the number two spot at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Folks, it's a lot to walk away from. He's a good guy.

Dan Bongino (158:38)

Can I say, though, yeah, I don't want him on the sidelines. Did you see him? He's jacked with his personality, with his belief system, with everything. I want him when the front line's kicking doors down. That's what I want. Or maybe for the first time ever, the deputy director can be a door kicker. I'd like to see that. Let's get that done.

Glenn Beck (158:54)

I think they're all door kickers at this point.

Stu Burguiere (158:57)

Yeah, that's right.

Glenn Beck (158:58)

I think all of them are dork house, though. Yeah, yeah.

Dan Bongino (159:01)

Yes.

Glenn Beck (159:01)

By the way, just so I can announce, the White House has offered me the position of I don't know if you've ever seen Polyachi, but the fat clown, And I'm still considering that. Still considering.

Mikayla (159:17)

Are you a door kicker in this position?

Glenn Beck (159:19)

Door kicker? No, just a. Just a fat, sad clown. Oh. So. Okay. With a nice voice, though. What an honor. Yes. Yes. Thank you.

Dan Bongino (159:26)

Imagine that, though. You have a group saying, nah, we're gonna keep doing our DEI stuff at the FBI. Cash sends Dan Bonino down to knock on their door.

Glenn Beck (159:34)

Not gonna be good. It's not gonna be good. It's not gonna end well. All right. Thank you. We'll see you tomorrow.
