My voice was doing fine intel, but until he started talking to you. Let me tell you about Ease for Everyone. What is the point of having health insurance until you have to spend a small fortune before it actually helps you? Some people are paying 10, 12, $15,000 a year out of pocket before their plan kicks in. And that's if that's not broken, I don't know what is. Here's the good news. There is a way out. It's called Ease for Everyone. And it's exactly what healthcare should be. Clear, fair and open to any adult in America. No matter what zip code, income or job you have. It's you can have. For as little as $262 a month, you can get unlimited virtual primary care, unlimited urgent care visits for $30, plus cash back reimbursements for big expenses, hospital stays, ER visits, surgeries, et cetera, et cetera.

Hello America. We take on the courts in 60 seconds. First, here you are. You are here. And that alone is a true miracle. In psalms, it tells us that God knit us together while we were in our mother's womb. He saw you before you took your first breath. Before the world knew your name. He knew your purpose. You may have planned. You may have been planned by your mom and your dad or not, I don't know. But you were never an accident, that's for sure. Because life is not. The Ministry of Preborn believes that every life, born and unborn, is sacred, made in the image of God, filled with beauty and the eternal. Right now, there are children whose hearts beat in the darkness and their moms are still trying to decide is that a baby or not? Their lives are in the balance. Last year alone, Preborn the network clinics helped rescue over 67,000 babies from abortion, often through a single life changing ultrasound. $28 sponsors that mom. 28 bucks. Would you consider a leadership gift today? $28 or a leadership gift? Your tax deductible donation of $15,000 will place a machine in Aniti's women's center, saving countless lives for years to come. Please dial £250. Say the keyword baby. That's £250 keyword baby or visit preborn.combeck that's preborn.com Beck sponsored by Preborn. All right. Hello, Stu, how are you?
Glenn Beck
Glenn, how are you in D.C. i am good.
Stu Burguiere
I tell you. The, the allergies, the, the trees and everything has just. They exploded in my throat yesterday. And so I'm not sure how long my voice will last. And I have to save it because I'm meeting with the president a little later on this afternoon and go spend a couple of hours with him. And that show will broadcast tonight at 9:00pm on Blaze. So just stick with me. All right, Let me. Let's start here with potus. I mean, with scotus. The battle for the kid, the soul of our children began yesterday in the Supreme Court. The case involves a group of parents suing the largest school district in Maryland for their white right to withdraw their children from classes on days that books with gay and transgender characters themes are discussed. The parents are suing on religious freedom grounds. In 2022, Montgomery County Public Schools added LGBTQ themed books to their curriculum for students from pre K through the fifth grade. The books include things like Pride Puppy, an Alphabet book about a family whose puppy gets lost at a pride parade. Love and Violet, about a girl who has a crush on her female classmate. These are Pre K to 5th grade and born Ready, about a transgender boy. Again, these books added to pre K to fifth grade. This new curriculum is DEI for elementary children. Now, at first, the Maryland school district allowed or alerted parents when the storybooks were going to be used in class and allowed them to have their children excused from the sessions. But the district has since stopped giving both advance notice and an opt out policy, saying it's too hard to administer. I mean, jeez, it's really, really, really. And it leads to lots of absences and stigmatizes some kids, huh? I want you to know this case is not about a few storybooks. A Few colorful, you know, pictures of little puppies getting lost. It's about whether you as a parent still have a God given right to raise your children according to your faith and your values and your common sense. Do you have the right? Because if the Supreme Court says no, you don't have that right anymore. If the First Amendment free exercise clause doesn't protect this, your right as a parent, then what, what is, what is, what are all our rights even for if we don't have a right as a parent to parent our children? None of the rights really even matter. Now the parents who are suing insist that these books, quote, promote one sided transgender ideology, encourage gen gender transitioning, and focus excessively on romantic infatuation. By the way, the parents are not seeking to remove the books from classrooms or the children's libraries. They just don't want their children to have to sit through these indoctrination sessions. Oh, that's not good enough. You will comply. That's what it's all about. They're not trying to erase anyone's story. They just want to not comply. They want to shield their children from ideas that contradict their faith. What is the First Amendment really all about? Sounds reasonable. Sounds like basic parenting 101. First amendment is clear. You cannot burden someone's free exercise of religion. Forcing kids to engage with ideas that violate their family's deeply held beliefs, that is clearly, clearly a burden. Religious liberty is in the First Amendment. It is not a second class right. It is a first class right. Besides, this is basic common sense, or at least used to be. Parents have the right to guide their kids on any sensitive topic like sex, sexuality, or yes, even gender. It's not the school's job. It's your job. Period. Now this should be a slam dunk for the parents, but I don't even know. I mean, if the Supreme Court doesn't see that, parents won't just be losing this case, we'll be losing even more freedom to raise our own kids. This one is a very, very deep red crimson line in the sand that the Supreme Court cannot cross. But we'll see, apparently. Yesterday. Did you hear any of the arguments, Stu?
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I read about them. It definitely seemed like the conservative justices were a bit skeptical of the idea that you get to force parents to keep their kids in these classes, even if they oppose it when you're reading these books. But of course, you never know. We've seen crazy things happen in the Supreme Court before. What's fascinating to me is, and what's the motivation Here, Glenn, you tell me if you're going to have one of these situations where you have these books and as you point out, they are not like, okay, there happens to be a gay character in a book about something else. It is straight out books about why you should think these lifestyles and choices are okay. It is straight out what they're doing to pre K to fifth graders.
Stu Burguiere
So really, really young.
Glenn Beck
This is not like, you know, some of these situations they like to push out there, like, oh, you don't want high schoolers to read these books. It's not even what they're talking about. And what could be the motivation of not allowing parents to opt their kids out here? They did offer that, as you noted, they did offer that the first year that these books.
Jeff Fisher
He's a hassle.
Glenn Beck
He's a hassle. I love that. There's no innocuous. There's no innocuous explanation for this. Right. It's just we want your kids to believe these things, therefore, we will force them to stay in class. What do you mean? It's hard to administer. There's all sorts of things that would allow. That you'd allow kids to leave class for. It's not hard to administer a kid walking out and doing something else, learning something different. What's the motivation? What's the innocuous tale here, Glenn?
Stu Burguiere
There is none. There is none. You, you go back to the Bible, remember Sodom and Gomorrah and, you know, the angels coming to town, they're looking just for one person. Just what can we find one person. And they go in and they find one. They find one. And he sees the angels and he's like, come on, come on, get into the house. Get in the house. And he gets them into the house and, you know, like, you're not safe out there. And then they start beating on the door. Hey, let us in. We saw these two guys. We saw these two guys, and you need to, you need to bring them out here. The answer was no, no, no. I tell you, I'll give you my daughter, just not these guys. Now, I hope you found that a little, you know, that's when the angel should have went, no, I don't know if we found the right guy here, but it was a different time. We'll give you our daughter first. Give you our daughter. Just leave them alone. No, no, you had to comply. If you were coming in to the city, you must comply. They wanted to sodomize the angels. No, thank you. No, I'm, you know, I'm all sodomy. I'm all. The doctor says I'm getting too much sodomy.
Jeff Fisher
So.
Stu Burguiere
But that is what's happening. Again, even if you don't believe in angels or you don't believe in the story of the Bible, this is a very good parable. I happen to believe it, but it's a very good parable on what was going on. Let's just look at the Bible as just saying what was a general thing. You could describe it any way you want, but what was generally going on. The city had been taken over by just absolute degenerates and sodomy had become such a big deal. You know, they actually taught my daughter in a Catholic school at Fordham University. They taught my daughter that sodomy. Sodomy, dad, was just their way of greeting people. You had a Catholic school teach you that that sodomy wasn't bad. It was just the way they greeted people. Hey, drop your pants. I want to greet you. That's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. But that's just the way it was. Well, you know what? I don't want to live in a city where they drop their pants to greet you. I just don't. I think that's probably wrong.
Glenn Beck
Speak for yourself.
Stu Burguiere
You know, even if that was even.
Glenn Beck
Lots of people, you have to understand you can't opt out of it. You need to make sure that you're. You're participating in the traditional greetings of that society.
Stu Burguiere
This is a philosophy that has no forgiveness and you're either on board or you're not. You're either 100% in or you're an outcast and you will comply. This is what the left just doesn't understand. I shouldn't say the left understands this. The average Democrat doesn't understand. They think. Because the average Democrat, I think, is still kind of thinking, well, you know, I mean, I don't like all of that, but I want to be tolerant. There is no tolerance with this. There's none. And this should show you there is no reason to force these parents or force these kids to go against their parents teaching. Other than you will participate, you will comply. That's all it is.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I love too one of their outs on this from the left is basically to say, look, if you don't want your kids to learn this stuff, then you should homeschool or put your kids in Christian schools. Now, of course, it's actually Christians, Jews and Muslims. One of the lead defendants here is a Muslim, actually is trying to pull their kids out of this and they have which is a fascinating argument from the left, considering how hard they fought against school choice all this time. I mean, they have tried to prevent it. They've tried to prevent the rights for you to educate your own kids, and they're trying to force you to pay for that education not once, but twice. That's their answer. If you don't want to learn what we're teaching you, then you get to pay twice as much for an education you're going to get outside of these walls.
Stu Burguiere
I will tell you that. I talked to some people over the last couple of days up here, some of them with the Department of Education, and they are thrilled to dismantle that thing. They are very, very excited to dismantle the Department of Education. They're on the inside and they're like, it's freaking them out. And it is. We're shutting this thing down. And it couldn't be more exhilarating, quite honestly. I mean, tell me what the Department of Education has done. Look at how they are. They're taking on private schools, and they're saying, you don't have a right to private education. Or you have a right. But we're not gonna. We're not gonna give you any vouchers. We're not gonna spend any. And look at what we're spending money on. A system that is getting worse and worse and worse, and we're trapping our children into. Into slavery. If your kids can't read, I mean, go back to the 1800s. Do you know that it was, I believe it was the death penalty to teach someone, a slave how to read? Did you know that it was a crime of the highest order to teach a slave to read? Why? Because if they can read, they can think. If they can think, they're no longer going to be a slave. That's why. So this progressive. These people have hated. Have hated the African American forever. It's the same people that started the Klan. It's the progressive movement that tried to wipe out every black with Planned Parenthood. And they're still doing it and getting away with it. Is there a reason why all of the abortion clinics happen to fall in the black zip codes? Is there a reason that that's where most of them are? Gee, I don't know. They're still doing it. They were the ones that were over in Germany telling you how to get rid of the Jews. Yes, that was an American thing, not a German thing. That was us. My gosh, these people have hated and hated and hated. And then the guy Johnson who stopped the Civil rights movement. He stopped the Civil Rights act in 1959. He was the guy who stopped it. It. Then just four or five years later, he signs it in and he's proud to do it. And then he signs the great, what do you call it? The Great Society bills. So we have a great Society that's going to help the black man. And what does it do? It tears their families apart. It drives them further into poverty. It miseducates their children. So they're just nincompoops. And then, by the way, white people are nincompoops as well because we get the same education. Who is this hurt? This has hurt the black man more than the white man. And these people, they still get away with it. Now ask yourself a question. If, if you are paying taxes and this is your country, why the hell can't you say, I'm not educating my kid there and I'm not paying you for that education? Because I think that education is ev. I think that education is so evil because look what it's doing to our kids. It's teaching them that they should be slaves. It's not teaching them how to think. It's teaching them what you want them to think. No, not going to do it anymore. All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor. This half hour is something that I don't even have. Oh, there it is. Relief Factor. It always starts with something small. Little stiffness when you reach for your shoes or that unmistakable when you get up from the chair. That's a sound you never meant to make. But you get up to the chair and you're like, mmm, it just comes out. It's not that you're old, it's your body is sending you subtle grunty messages that suggest otherwise. And you can try to ignore them. But why not fight back? Let your body fight back. Help your body fight back. Relief Factor is a hundred percent drug free way to tackle pain from inflammation. It is a daily supplement created by doctors that helps your body feel more like your body again. Millions have tried it. Hundreds of thousands stick with it every month because they feel the difference. I'm one of them. When you're dealing with pain day in and day out, you need a solution that's actually going to work and not going to negatively impact the other parts of your life. The solution is relief factor for 1995. You can try relief factors three week quick start. It's less than a dollar a day. Call 800 for relief. 800. The number four relief. It's relieffactor dot ten seconds. Station ID. So on our way to the, on my way to the White House here in a couple of hours and I'm going to be with the President today. I'd love to hear what you are interested in. I'd love to ask a few questions that are directed by you. I've been working on these questions for the President here for the last week, but I'd love to hear from you. 888-727 Beck, what is it that you are most interested in hearing asked of the President? It's so interesting asking the President questions because I remember I was in the Oval Office with George W. Bush and he was not happy. And I had questioned, you know, what is happening to the, what's happening in the war, Mr. President? And I had just got on the air and I don't remember what I said to piss him off, but I said something and I said, that's not the way the President behaves. And so he calls me in the office and I'm sitting there and he says, you know, a lot of people think they know exactly how it's like to be the President. They have no idea what it's like to be the President of the United States. You don't know what I'm dealing with. And in some ways it was true. I mean, it's no excuse. You have to be better at it than anybody else. But the President can't answer certain things. Like I really want to know, can this be saved? Can this be saved? Because we are looking at such economic, we're looking into the abyss. Into the abyss. And I don't think the American people really understand that. And it's going to take all of us understanding it and then choosing, okay, I'm going to, I'll take the hard road. I'll take the hard medicine. Now used to be able in the old days, you know, FDR could get on and say, look, this is going to be hard, this is going to be a schlog, but I'll take it on for my generation so our children don't have to deal with it. I'm not sure that people are, I think they're willing to do it, but there will always be somebody on the outside that says that's not necessary. You don't have to, you don't have to do that. You can do it all. You can have it all. No, no, no, no, no. You don't understand. We'll put your Social Security over here in a lockbox and people Will want to believe the easy road. So I've been wrestling with questions on, you know, how to, how to make it easy for the President to tell the real truth on the economy, which I think he does, but I don't think enough people hear it, that, as he says, it's going to be a bumpy ride. Yeah, it's going to be a lot more than a bumpy ride. It's going to be a tough, tough schlog, but we have to do it. This interview, by the way, will air tonight, 9:00pm Eastern only on Blaze TV.

Glenn Beck
Let, let it ride.
Stu Burguiere
Let's see what he says. You know, I have a lot of things to talk to him about. Like one thing that I would like to see, you know, that I don't, I don't see anybody talking about, you know, the President is changing the economy. He is changing. He's getting away from this World War II nightmare that you know, might have been right for, you know, 1948, but it's certainly not right for today where we were taking care of Europe. We were giving them all kinds of special breaks. We were paying for their defense, yada yada, yada yada. Instead now America needs to take care of herself and we all need to be self sufficient. Well, you know, we're talking about AI a lot but what people are not talking about or something that Eric Schmidt came to the White House. Sorry. To the Capitol Hill and testified a couple of days ago about the power usage. We have a significant problem with power. Now I want you to understand everyone will tell you we cannot lose the race for AI. Have you heard anyone say anything other than that? Stu?
Glenn Beck
No. Anyone who talks about it says we can't just let China or someone else win it.
Stu Burguiere
It's 100% universal. We must, must win. Okay, so where are we going to get all the power? Here's what Eric said. Many people project demand for our industry will go from 3%. 3% of total energy production. Right now we're at 3% for all of our server farms and everything else for Silicon Valley uses 3%. He says it's going to go from 3% to 99% of all energy usage in the next three years. An additional 29 gigawatts by 2027 and 67 more gigawatts by 2030. He is now saying that we have to build hundreds of nuclear power plants. He said there are some plants they will require. Most plants will require one nuclear power plant per server farm. Some of them may require up to three nuclear power plants per server farm. So this is really good in one way because we will have the electricity that we need, assuming we start to build these things quickly, I mean, what's going to happen, Stu, it takes 25 years to build a nuclear power plant. How is it we are, we're expected at all to compete? We have dismantled our, we've dismantled our coal fire plants all over the country. We are still not digging up coal and fuel as much as we need to. We need to be open and open valves on absolutely everything. That's something that Eric Schmidt said yesterday too. Now remember, this is Silicon Valley guy. I'm sure he was green, green, green for a long time. But now he's saying we need absolutely every source of energy because we are going to need 99% by 2027. 2027. What do you think, what do you think your power price is going to be? What do you think about rolling blackouts and brownouts? We have got to be. And this would create so many jobs, so many jobs, good paying jobs going out and building all these nuclear power plants.
Glenn Beck
Is this an opportunity? Will we do it for Trump and the Trump administration? I mean, because it feels also like talking about positives going on offense rather than being on defense. There's been a lot of defense talk lately and going on offense and saying, hey, we can be the best place for your company to exist because we're going to be the only place on earth that has the power it needs.
Stu Burguiere
Yep, yep. The only other country that is doing it is China. And they're building them like crazy. This is something that we have. Donald Trump could surpass FDR in power generation. Remember, most people in 1919 in Woodrow Wilson, I think 1% of the population had a refrigerator by 1930, I think that number was like 80% had refrigeration. When, when FDR came in, the only places it didn't have stuff was there was no electricity in these small little rural towns. So he went and he started building power plants and dams and everything else to generate all the power and then started laying power lines. This is something that Donald Trump could do and it is time. I mean, our grid hasn't really been updated since fdr. We're still using the same stuff and you know, a lot of it is just out so outdated and so bad. Our grid is so incredibly unstable and not built for what's coming next. And I just don't know how he's going to get it done. But this is a big win for him. Big win for him. You know how many jobs would be created if we introduced and said we have to build them in the next Three years. It would be enormous. Enormous and exciting.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah, exciting. I mean, you know, look, having power is the biggest basis of civilization. This is not a, it's not a small little thing. It really is one of the foundational elements you need for a modern civilization. And we sit here and we talk about all the things we can't do, all the natural resources that we have, but we can't utilize, all the things that we need to stop, right? We need to stop making gas powered cars, we need to stop getting our own coal and using it. We need to stop building nuclear plants. This is a way of saying, no, we're on offense. We're America. The left is trying to, right now they're in the middle of a rebrand and one of their, as we talked about last hour, they're still seemingly stuck in a lot of these crazy woke things that burned them last time. Hopefully they stick with those forever. But one of the proposals being floated around on the left is this idea of abundance. That's the name of the book that kind of lays these concepts out. And it's an idea of trying to take away what the right has always had, which is this idea of saying, hey, we're looking to grow. We want better things. We want the Americans to have a better, more fruitful, more wealthy, more, having more. And we'll decide what we want to do when we have more. And the left was always saying, hey, no, we need to restrict, we need to calm that down. You don't need all this. You don't need the bigger house, you don't need the bigger car. And that's not the fundamental, the number one thing we should care about. But it was always there for us to say, hey, all these shelves are stocked. Everything you need is right there. You make the decisions on what you want. You make the decisions and prioritize on what you're going to spend your money on and what you're going to spend your time on. And the left is trying to take that back. Right now they're seeing an opportunity because of a lot of people on the right who are saying, no, actually maybe we shouldn't have those things available. Maybe you don't need them. And I'm nervous if they decide to go down this road. There is a real vulnerability to the conservative movement if the left takes that away from us. And they want to.
Stu Burguiere
State it again more succinctly, your concern, again, my concern.
Glenn Beck
Is, and this is a real thing being talked about on the left in sort of their higher level academic circles is the approach to say, to take away that, I don't know, it was a, I would say pretty consistent with that Reagan optimism. Right. The shining city on the hill. The idea that we can do it, we can do it, we can accomplish all these incredible things, not through government, but through you. You can do it. We'll have all these things. And you should expect from your country an abundance, not scarcity.
Stu Burguiere
I'm trying to figure out where are you seeing that on the left.
Glenn Beck
I mean, there's a major bestseller that just came out called Abundance, and it was from the left. It was from two guys on the left. And I don't know that they'll win, but Ezra Klein, Derek Thompson, they're pretty well known.
Stu Burguiere
That's really hard to sell.
Glenn Beck
I agree.
Stu Burguiere
Look at Barack Obama. I know. Look at Barack Obama. He's got how many houses? 3. Where he's building a seawall around one of his houses. Where you can't build sea walls in Hawaii, but he's building a sea wall around one of them. That's his part time house. His other part time houses in Nantucket, one foot above sea level. One, count them, one foot above sea level. And he's got a third house someplace else. I think it's here in Washington. And he's always talking about, hey, you know, there comes a time when enough is enough and you have too much. When is that, Barack? Because you're telling us that we shouldn't have an suv. You've got three houses. See, this whole abundance thing has never been aimed at them. It's always been aimed at us. They believe in abundance, but only for the right people. The right people get it. And that's, that is the biggest difference in abundance is they've been saying that we all have to, you know, pinch back, but they don't actually mean it. You know, at least, at least the Republicans are like, yeah, I'm corrupt as hell and making all kinds of money on the side, but you can too. I mean, it's just crazy.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, no, I agree. I think, look, they've never actually believed any of these things, right? But like, what was their approach for forever we've heard the approach of, hey, your TVs are too big, your cars, they're too, they have too, too much of what you need. The SUVs are too large, your homes are too large. You don't need that air conditioning. You should turn it to 72. Now, I can bet you at neither Martha's Vineyard or in Hawaii, Barack Obama never had his house set to some Uncomfortable temperature he didn't like, but they tried to.
Stu Burguiere
Well, he might have, because he's right on the ocean. And you get that lovely ocean breeze that most of us don't get.
Glenn Beck
That's true, that's true. But I mean, it was always something they tried to implement on the people, right? It was always, we get what we want, but you need to sacrifice for the greater good. And that's a thing that just doesn't connect exactly with the American people. Not because they're not charitable, because they are. They want to do good things for other people. They will come together and do accomplish incredible things, which they have done. But it was always this idea that you would be able. It was part of the American deal, right? We do these things, we work hard, maybe we work harder, maybe we work more hours, maybe we put up with more crap. But with the idea that we can shape our own future, the left is trying to take that messaging back. Now, I'm with you in that I am not confident that viewpoint will win out on the left because there's a bunch of insane people. But it is a vulnerability of the right if we go down this road of trying to encourage the same type of scarcity talk that the left has been engaging in.
Stu Burguiere
Okay, okay, so let's take that next hour. I wanna tell you a story that fits right in here on what the leftists are doing now in San Francisco, because it's very similar to what you're talking about. And this morning when I read it, I like, that'll never work. But maybe you're right, maybe it will. I don't know, but it's insane. We'll talk about that and so much more coming up. Don't forget President Trump. An interview at the White house tonight at 9 with President Trump and I. Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make and not something that you want to walk blindly into. That's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust dot Com.

During the negotiations. So you're getting the best deal possible, whether you're buying or you're selling. It's about trust, getting somebody who shares your values and treats your home like more than just a transaction. If you're thinking about buying or selling a home, go to realestate agents I trust.com realestate agents I trust.com let my team connect you with a top rated agent in your area. Don't wait.

Well, one way you can lose your home is by missing mortgage payments. But that is not the only way to lose it. It turns out that the title thieves have a faster way of doing this. With one forged deed filed online, they can claim your property before really they get up and have breakfast. Federal reports show title fraud climbed more than 50% last year. And meanwhile, the nightly news streams what celebrity and political drama for the clicks. Instead of warning about stuff like this, here's what happens. Basically, the crook copies public data. They attach a digital notary stamp, they upload a fake deed, and your county clerk often accepts it. Minutes later, your equity backs a loan that you never asked for. The bill arrives weeks later. Interests already ticking alarms can't do anything to protect you from this. They can protect your windows, but they can't protect this type of theft. And Home Title Lock stands watch on home title fraud 24 7. They're not going to let you down. The instant a document touches your deed, you get an alert. And honestly, if by some chance a lucky thief manages to pull all this off, they have a restoration team. They send lawyers and all this other stuff to make sure everything gets back the way it's supposed to be. Go to hometitle lock.com right now. Protect yourself from this.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I'm gonna spend another hour with you and then I gotta get to to the White House to interview the President. And I'm looking forward to that. Love to hear your comments. We polled our audience over the last few days and been asking people, you know, what are you most interested in? And most people are interested in Doge. That seems to be the hot button with this audience. So I'm going to be talking to him about Doge in particular. Yesterday it was announced that it looks like Elon Musk is going to be reducing his time in Washington on Doge next month. And what does that mean? And, and is he happy with the amount that has been cut, you know, they've really dramatically reduced the amounts of cuts that they're looking for. And I. I find that a little sad, quite honestly, but I'm not sure why that is happening. Is, you know, is he getting pushback from the agencies? Is he getting pushback from Congress? Where is he getting this pushback from? And is he going to just keep plowing through it? What happens when Elon Musk leaves? We'll talk to him about that. Let me go to. Is it Renee in Texas or Rennie? Renee. Rene. Hi, Renee. So.
Glenn Beck
Hi. Tariffs are killing my small business. And it's not even the tariff amounts. It's the way that they were implemented very suddenly and very haphazardly. The shipping companies were not prepared for what was coming. I had shipments in the air. I import most of my goods for my small business specialty martial arts company from Hungary and from Poland and the. And UPS and FedEx. They started slapping steel tariffs on shipments that contain zero steel because it's coded as a sporting good. And when I asked, hey, why are y'all doing that? They said, well, we didn't know what was in there. And so to be safe, they coded it as steel. So I'm paying $5,000 in customs for a package that normally would have cost me 600 to $800 in tariffs or customs. And when I said, can I get that back? They said, well, you have to file a claim with customs, and it may be four to six weeks to get that back. I'm currently out about $30,000.
Stu Burguiere
I'm gonna. I will ask the president about this because there's a lot of tariff talk that I want to get to today. I put that down. I am going to put it on my list of things to talk. Talk to him about. I feel for you. I really do feel for you. It is. It's been a little sloppy.

Alrighty then. Hello, you sick freak. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad you're here. Lot going on today. I'm on my way to the White house in about 60 minutes to do an interview with Donald Trump this afternoon. And you will see it tonight at 9pm Eastern. You don't want to miss it. I've got a lot. I've got pages and pages of questions for the President. Now I have to decide which are in and which are out. And I'd love to hear from you. Eight at 8727. Beck, is there anything in particular that you think that you really want an answer to? A lot of people are responding. There's two things, the tariffs and how they're affecting small businesses. And I will get into that with the President. And the other is Elon Musk and Doge. Questions on Doge. And the big story that was out yesterday was that Elon Musk is going to be leaving next month. What does that mean for Doge? Where do we go from here on that? More in just a second. First, let me tell you about rough greens. If you ever notice how your dog just know things, you know, when you're leaving, when you're coming back. You know, somehow he always knows that you've opened a bag of food. Even from three rows rooms away. He can. They're tuned in, they're Always aware. But when it comes to their own health, they have to count on you to pay attention.

It's made for them to live well, to move easily, stay active, and you will be amazed at how well this actually works. You just sprinkle the food, sprinkle this stuff on top of the food. They eat it, they love it, and then watch them change.

Thanks, Glenn. Big day today.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, big day.
Glenn Beck
We've got, of course, an interview with the President of the United States, going to be airing tonight on BlazeTV. Blazetv.com Glenn, by the way, promo code. Glenn, if you'd like to join BlazeTV and save 20 bucks, do you have kind of an approach here at this point? Do you know what you're going to ask him?
Stu Burguiere
No. I mean, I do. I've got pages and pages of questions and notes. But now I have to, you know, it's going to take me an hour or two just to whittle it down to the questions. I think I can get in. You know, I've got, I don't know, 45 minutes or an hour with the President, and that's from the moment he walks in to the moment he leaves. So you don't have a lot of time. And, you know, every single word counts. I know. I'm gonna start with this. I asked just for a list of the things that he accomplished in the first 100 days. And we got to page 89. I'll have all of them tonight. This is the first 80, I think 89 days. Look at that.
Glenn Beck
That's a lot.
Stu Burguiere
That's just a list of the accomplishments of the first 89 days. That's. What'd you say that four inches thick? I mean, this guy has made more progress than any other president or many presidents combined in the first 100 days, nobody's done what, what he's done. But you know, one of the things, and I don't know how I'm gonna, I can't because I can't ask him directly. So I kind of try to ask him several questions all the way through. That'll kind of give you a sense of, are we looking for a reprieve? Is that where we're going to get a four year reprieve if the economy doesn't turn around fast enough? Because I believe the President can turn it around. But if it doesn't turn it around fast enough, or if people don't understand that he is changing the entire structure of the world and he's trying to do it in two years, really.
Jeff Fisher
We'Re.
Stu Burguiere
Gonna be left with a reprieve and not, not a fundamental change. And does he think that's really possible, especially without Congress? I mean, I'm gonna rail on Congress. I don't know if he'll join me on that. But I really wanna know why he isn't pounding Congress into the dirt. I mean, Congress is, they're not helpful at all. And any, no matter what anybody says, I've talked to enough people just the last few days here to tell you that anybody who tells you that the Senate and the House leadership is on the President's side, they haven't, they don't know their butt from their elbow. They have no idea what they're talking about. They are not on his side. They are not working with him. Um, and that's obvious. I mean, they should be passing. You know, I know this is gonna be, you know, he said, I'm gonna pass a, the largest tax cut. Well, he's not, he's. What the Congress is doing is, he's actually, he's thwarting the largest tax increase in American history that would come next year. Well, the country needs a tax cut, a tax plan that will actually encourage spending on business, encourage, you know, spending on, on creating jobs. I also want to talk to him about energy. I mean, what do you, what do you think, Stu? What are the questions you want to know?
Glenn Beck
I think the economy is a big one and how he's going to go forward with that. We talked about having that positive agenda. I think that would be helpful. Seems like the markets are liking that today. There's maybe a little bit of an approach change over the past couple of days and that seems to be helping quite a bit. I think that's a big one. I think certainly energy is a big one. One Department of Education is another one.
Stu Burguiere
Wait, wait. Really interesting. Go back to the positive. What do you mean by that? Like we talked about energy going in and saying, look, I'm going to build all these nuclear power plants in the next three years. Because testimony on the Hill yesterday, day before yesterday from the president of former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, was pretty clear. We are going to right now, the cloud services, if you will, the compute power for all of the big, you know, computer cloud servers, they require currently 3% of all of the electricity that is used in the United States. 3%. In three years, they will require 99% of our energy. Well, there's no way that can happen without us having blackouts and brownouts and, you know, the rest of the country just starving itself from electricity. That'll just collapse everything. So a positive way to deal with this is to say, I am going to do the biggest energy push ever in American history. And he's already done it for oil and coal. Now he just needs to say, I'm cutting the red tape. I'm gonna make sure that they're safe. But there's new technology now with, with nuclear power plants and we're going to drop them in city after city after city where there's cloud servers are going to be. Because if Eric Schmidt is right, and I believe he is, each one of these cloud servers by 2030 will need a nuclear full size nuclear power plant themselves. That's incredible.
Glenn Beck
It's incomprehensible. But yeah, as you point out, instead of saying an alternate approach to that would be, hey, we need to stop these AI companies from doing this. We need to make sure that they are not taking over. That's, I would say, what the left wouldn't typically do in a situation like this. They would try to stop the companies from growing. They would try to stop them from innovating. They would say, you need to do more with less. And I think the conservative argument there is to say, hey, we're going to give you the tools that you need. We're going to make it easy for these companies to build nuclear power plants in a safe way, of course, but reliable energy that can fuel these things would be great. I think the same thing. I think if you look at Trump's economic plan, he wants to bring, let's say, manufacturing back to the United States. Well, there's a couple ways that you can do that. And both of them are completely consistent with what Trump wants to do. One of them is obviously tariffs. That's what's had almost all the attention. I think there's a reason why the media focuses on that. I think they. They rather talk about the tariffs because they're not as popular. The other side of it is incentivizing companies to come here. It's cutting regulation, it's cutting taxes. It's making the United States into the greatest place to do business. People will want to come here. And the Democrats have worked really hard to take that impression away from the world over the past 20 years. And Trump, I think, in his first term did a good job at encouraging that sort of development here. I think it went pretty well with the economy. And I think, like, that just. It's just a. I think he believes that still. He just. It hasn't been the focus as much of the messaging, and I think that could help.
Stu Burguiere
This is the problem. And I'm gonna try to get him to explain this. I can't ask him. I don't think I can ask him directly, because the president, if you say, look, how much trouble are we in? You know, and is this fixable? Of course he's going to say, yeah, it's absolutely fixable, but he needs to articulate or somebody needs to articulate how close to the edge of the abyss we are. I mean, Stu, you know, I've talked about this economic stuff over and over again. I had a conversation with somebody who. I can't say who, but they believe me. They absolutely know what's happening with our dollar and the economy and everything else. Okay. An official in the government that. That's, you know, that's pretty much what they do. And I said, look, I'm trying to get my arms around this because I'm. I'm thinking about, you know, why he called it Liberation Day. And I think it's because he's changing the whole system, you know, that was set up after World War II and yada, yada, yada. And I said, and I don't think people understand that if we. If he fails, this is it. This is our last chance to save America, That. That we're over. And this individual put their hand on my shoulder and said, no, listen, we are over. So he said the same thing I did. He just wanted to make sure that I understood exactly what I was saying. And I found that to be a little terrifying. And I don't think people truly understand this is it. This is it. If. If you. If you want to have a country left, we're going to go and experience tremendous pain. Ronald Reagan talked about this. You know, there's going to Come a time when none of the choices are good and everybody wants to eat around the edges and not take the whole pie. You have to have the whole pie. You're going to. You can't eat around the edges anymore. You've got to fix the entire thing. And that is going to be really painful and dangerous. And I don't know if I can get him to talk about that. I mean, how would you ask him?
Glenn Beck
Do you think that's the way he sees it? Do you think he. Because it does seem like with the types of maneuvers he's made when it comes to foreign trade, for example, he really does see not just something we need to tweak. Right. Like an absolute monumental crisis. Right.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
So do you know, that is a big change, and I think slightly different than maybe the perception was going in. And that's something he's going to have to kind of deal with with the American people. And it's why maybe he's having issues with some of the independence, losing support among independents. I don't think he's gonna see. You know, I don't think that's the way he runs his operation. I don't think he looks at it and says, okay, well, this isn't polling well right now, so I don't want to do it.
Stu Burguiere
No, he doesn't.
Glenn Beck
I think he looks at it, he.
Stu Burguiere
Sees himself, and thank God, he sees himself as if I don't do it, no one will. And I think that's true. I don't know of any, but Donald Trump is completely unique. You know, he's been forged in the fire where he wasn't in 2016, he is now. I mean, what are you gonna do to him? You try to throw him in jail. He tried to throw his family in jail. You tried to destroy his business, his reputation. They've called him every name under the sun. They tried to kill him not once, but twice. I mean, what are you gonna do to this guy? He doesn't care. And so I really believe that this is so far beyond him. He knows. Look, I'm here at this time for a reason, and it's to save the country in the way I believe it needs to be saved. And so it is a complete departure from the great reset, but it is a great reset. The world has been shaping us for this reset. I've been talking about this since 2008. They shaped us for this reset to where they would. They would manage the decline to a certain point, and then it would kind of fall apart and then collapse into this new system that they had built, well, he's dismantling that at the same time trying to put the system back into place that they had taken apart. It's, I mean, it's, it's, if he can pull this off, it's going to be a miracle. We'll be the first people in the history of the world to pull this off. And it's, I mean, it's an interesting time to be alive. Going to be interesting to see how well this works out. All right, more in just a second. Stand by. First, our sponsor this hour, half hour is the burner launcher. You know, I'm sorry, Patreon Mobile. Okay, Patriot Mobile. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

Klaus Schwab has resigned.
Glenn Beck
Sad to see him go, Glenn. He's done such, such good work at the World Economic Forum. He's been able to lead us into this new world that we've all been asking for and demanding.
Stu Burguiere
Sad to see especially he's, he's done some really good work, apparently on the buttocks of several women which, you know, I don't know. I don't know. Let's just say they Were nice little polite pats on the butt, you know, as they pass by. Hey, sweetheart. How you doing? But apparently he has created a very obscene culture at the World Economic Forum. And now, who would have thunk it? You know, uh, every time he comes to town, prostitutes, you know, go through the roof because they're. They're shipped in from all over the world. But no, I'm sure it's a very pro woman. You know, he really cares. He really cares deeply. But apparently he's in trouble for sexual harassment. Uh, and. And also, you know, some problems with some funds. Apparently he used some funds to buy big houses. Uh, but it's no big deal, right? I mean, he can get away with it. He's Klaus Schwab. I hate these people so much. I hate these people so much. I mean, God, the. The. The hypocrisy of these people just kills me. Kills me. One of the other things I want to ask him about is, is the great reset and how. I mean, six years ago, you remember when we started talking about the great reset and everybody said, that's conspiracy. And now look at it. Everybody knows about DEI and CRT and everything else. Everything. They said, you have the court system now defending and saying you can't cut that. Wait a minute. I thought it was a conspiracy theory. I'm just cutting conspiracies. Isn't that what you want? It's incredible.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
I also want to know, is he going to stand up to the courts?
Glenn Beck
Yeah. What does that mean exactly, too? I. I don't. I don't know. Obviously, there's. Right now we have six Supreme Court justices that were actually named by Republicans. Right. Three of them by President Trump himself. What does that mean as far. Because I know that they took a stance against him, for example, deporting certain people, and they don't.
Stu Burguiere
I can't believe it.
Glenn Beck
That sort of battle is gonna be fascinating.
Stu Burguiere
These people. When we were saying we should vet people when they're coming in, ask them, hey, here's an idea, Covid. Can we see if they've had their vaccine? No, you can't do that now when we're trying to ship them back home. Oh, we've gotta have a sit down with them. We have to have a formal interview, you know, before we get rid of them. We have to really sit down and talk to them. No, no problem bringing them in. None riddled with disease. Not a problem. Hang on just a second. I think you left some of your fingers behind. They just fell off. You don't wanna. Just Take those with you as you enter the United States. No problem coming in, all kinds of problems leaving. Well, does that make sense?
Glenn Beck
A lot of this has to do with your hatred of Maryland fathers. You have always been against people who are just fathers in Maryland, and I don't.
Stu Burguiere
I was a father in Maryland for a while. My, my daughter was born in Maryland, and I was, I was the dad. So I was a Maryland father.
Glenn Beck
Wow. So you, you can't be deported. That's apparently the rule. I will say. Did you see the, the explanation, I love this, of the domestic violence thing where, like, you know, she filed a restraining order against her. Against him for domestic violence. Everyone's like, hey, you beat his wife. She says now, no, no, no, that's not true. She. She did. So she filed a domestic violence restraining order against her husband, quote, in case things escalated, end quote.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, that happened. Tanya did that to me last week. You know, she's like, I need a restraining order. I think he might kill me. I mean, he's not threatening to kill me, but in case he.
Jeff Fisher
This is Glenn Beck.
Stu Burguiere
Gosh, that's hysterical. All right, I'm a big second amendment guy. I believe in your right to defend yourself, but I mean, I have to admit there are situations when a fire firearm is not the best option. Say you're driving to work, listen to this program, full volume, windows down, and all of a sudden you're stopped at dead traffic. And some crazy blue haired lady, you don't even know that she was, she was even in the vicinity, she comes up and says, starting your start hitting your hood with a, with a baseball bat. Now, hey, lady, I don't think you need to. No, I know exactly what I mean. And she's just beating with a baseball, you know, that might. You don't want to shoot her, but you got to stop her, right? The burner launcher, that's where it comes in. Looks like a firearm, feels like one, but it's non lethal. It'll fire kinetic projectiles or tear grass, tear gas rounds that'll stop somebody in their tracks, you know, without ending their life. So little old lady, she'll be crying for about 45 minutes and not being able to see, but she won't be beating your hood with a baseball bat anymore. Just in time for cops, you know, if you're not in a blue city just in time for cops to get there and haul her away. Now he's for putting grandmothers in jail. I thought he was against Burna.

Here's something I didn't think I'd ever say. I'm going to spend more time in Washington D.C. i've learned so much in the last couple of days. Being able to meet with me with so many people. And then, you know, in the off times I went to. A couple of days ago, I went to the American Art Museum, Smithsonian's American Portraiture or something. What a dump that place is. My gosh, my gosh, what a dump. And so woke. I can't take it. I just can't take it. And I don't know, I think I'll talk to the President off air on that because I don't think anybody else cares, but he might. It's just a nightmare. Just a nightmare. By the way, thanks to Steve Bannon. I was on Steve Bannon show on Monday. When did that air? Yesterday? Yeah, aired yesterday. I went in Monday to do his show and he aired it yesterday. Interesting. Really, really interesting. We disagree on things, but he also agrees with me that we're in trouble economically where people need to understand where we are in the grand scheme of things. And there is a serious mental illness problem happening on the streets of Washington D.C. i mean, it, when you get into the Capitol Building, it's even worse. But on the streets it is a serious mental illness. I mean, I've never seen anything like it. My wife has been with me this week and she said, I've only heard her say this once. She said it about 10 years ago in San Francisco. We went and people were taking a dump in the street feet, you know, right as we're walking. And it was just very dangerous feeling. And it was a nice section of San Francisco and it doesn't exist anymore. But at that time there still was a nice section of San Francisco. And she said, I'll never come to this city again. She said, I would never walk alone in this city. And I said, well, I'd be with you. And she's like, nah, walking with you is like walking alone. And so we're walking down the streets of Washington D.C. and this guy starts to circle us on a bike. And he's got to be about 30 years old. And he just, he starts circling us, you know, riding his bike around us as we're walking and he's like, I'm gonna kill me some white people today. I'm killing white people. Today. And I'm like, I know. I hate those white people. Huh? And he just kept circling, you know, could be you. Could be you. And he drives around, he's just like staring at me. Could be you today. You never know. And I thought that's either meant well, it is absolutely mental illness or that is a societal thing that has caused this guy to think that that's totally cool to do that. Uh, but it is, it's, it's really bad. But the good news is the Democrats are here for you. There is a story in Politico that I absolutely love. Um, here's the headline, and I quote, there's a reckoning to be had. San Francisco Dems move to push the national party to the center. Now that needs it. That. That's all you need to know. Okay? I mean, the gutter in which the Democrats find themselves. Now, if the, the Democrats from San Francisco is leading, they're. They're the ones leading the way. Yeah. It's how much trouble they're in. In the story says, quote, they are attempting to lead by a national conversation around what it takes for Democrats to win by rejecting what they deride as performative politics and virtue, signaling and embracing pragmatism and quality of life issues. Really, this is rich. Democrats from the capital of left wing lunacy now are claiming they want to drag their party back to the middle. And in this story from Politico, they say they're now interested, get this. On Fully staffing police departments, erasing the local regulations that drive up the cost of building new housing, and focusing on public schools and closing the learning gaps for black and Hispanic students in math and reading. Now this is wild, cuz I seem to remember that these are exactly the same people that just did the opposite. They're the ones shouting in the streets to defund the police, burning buildings down, yanking our founding father's name off of. Off of school buildings, passing Gaza like resolutions, like they're running the un Turning our cities into giant performance art galleries of needles and poop. These are the ones. And now they're like, you know what? Maybe we should have a few more cops and we should make sure our kids can read again and do math. Really? So were you defund when you were saying that defunding the policing, Was that all. Were you joking about that? Or are you just joking about the math and other subjects being racist? Because I'm. According to the Politico story, they're also calling for imposing potential AIDS age limits on elected officials. Why? He's sharp As a tack. No, no, no. He was sharp as attack. There was nothing, nothing to see there. Did you see the Elizabeth Warren interview she did with some. Oh, my gosh.
Jeff Fisher
So good.
Glenn Beck
We talked about it yesterday. It is. That was one of the most revealing things I've ever seen. I mean, she actually laughs. She can't stop herself from laughing at the concept that he was fine, even though she said it publicly over and over and over again.
Stu Burguiere
Play that. Sir, do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity? He had a sharpness to him. You said that up until July of last year. I said what I believe to be true. And you think he was as sharp as you?
Glenn Beck
I said I had not seen decline, and I hadn't at that point.
Stu Burguiere
You did not see any decline from 2024 Joe Biden to 2021 Joe Biden? Not when I said that. You know, not when I said that. The thing is, he. Look, look, he was sharp. He was on his feet.
Glenn Beck
I saw him live event.
Stu Burguiere
I had meetings with him a couple of times. The senator on his feet is not praise. He can speak in sentences.
Glenn Beck
Is not praise.
Stu Burguiere
Fair enough.
Glenn Beck
Fair enough.
Stu Burguiere
Look, it is the question whenever a politician says, look, what are we gonna do now?
Glenn Beck
Okay. I mean, it's a great clip. He does a great job interviewing her. He does as well, pushing her on this because it's so obvious and it's so comical that she can't even keep a straight face. We use that term a lot. You can't keep a straight face. That's a great example of it. She legitimately, multiple times laughs at her.
Stu Burguiere
Own public statements like it's okay. Like it's absolutely okay. And we're all in this joke together.
Glenn Beck
We all get it.
Stu Burguiere
He's sharp as a tack. The guy is a Roomba stuck in the corner of the room, man, just pounding into the. I mean, for the love of Pete. Now they're saying, you know, you gotta have an age limit for why we can. A Bernie strategy with the new Bernie is, you know, maybe suboptimal right now. This is crazy. And I want to tell you that this is what you need to know about this. There is zero sincerity in this at all. You have no reason to believe this is sincere from the Democratic Party at all, but just pretend for a second that it is sincere. It would be enormous. It would be an enormous breakthrough. The heavens would part, the angels would sing if they actually deradicalized the Democratic Party. But they have no intention to do that.
Glenn Beck
That.
Stu Burguiere
No intention to do that. Here's what's going on. San Francisco Democrats are calling their strategy new Pragmatism. What does that mean? In other words, you don't have any real principles, just a willingness to rebrand according to which way the wind is blowing so you can look like you just want to get things done. They're not sorry for the clown show. Virtual signaling pop policies. Look how sad she is. Look at how much remorse she has. She's laughing at how she lied about the guy who had the finger on the nuclear button. Nobody should laugh at that. Nobody. Nobody. They are just terrified of losing again. Look, anytime a politician says, look, look, they're lying to you. San Francisco wants to be the model for Democrats to win back union workers, immigrants, young people, voters. They lost because they were too busy arguing that standardized tests are hate crimes. Good luck with that pivot, guys. Good luck. Good luck. You can't just. I, as a guy who has worked with chalkboards for a very long time, you can't just wipe the chalkboard clean. The whole country has seen your math, and I'm sorry, you have to scrub it clean and you're busy scrubbing. But we all saw what you wrote on the chalkboard and none of this adds up. Doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Okay, back in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's American Financing. If you've looked at your credit card statement and think, wow, okay, all right, who stole my identity and then paid for groceries, gas, and the electric bill? Yeah.

This is where American Financing comes in. They're a family owned mortgage company that actually helps you get out of debt. The work with you to consolidate your high interest loans, pay off that credit card balance and put you back in control. And they don't work on commission.

You ever seen a liberal's hands? Smoother than a snake oil. Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word female than the word work. Glenn Beck will be right back.
Stu Burguiere
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I was on with Steve Bannon yesterday. I recorded it on Monday. And. And here's a little bit of that. I wonder why he hasn't taken Congress to the woodshed. The only chance we have is cut our regulation dramatically. Pass the REINS Act. Okay. Pass the REINS Act. Pass that. Cut the regulation at least by half. Then give. Unleash the animal spirits. Yes. Give me 15. 15. 15 in taxes. 15% capital gains, 15% for the average person. Make it 17. 17, 17. I don't care. But that incentivizes the entrepreneur. I can start my own business. 70% of all jobs begin with small businesses. Yes. We've got to incentivize those people. And that's Congress. And they're sitting around like they did after they won the Tea Party. They're going to be responsible for losing this whole thing. They've got to move. What do you say about the investigations? The deep state, Everything we know about Brennan. Talk about that. We only got a couple of minutes. Our audience of one thing they get furious about. I'm pissed. And Pam and Cash are as good as you get. What's the problem? Your audience. Oh, yeah. You know, you can do an awful lot of stuff, but until you start putting bad guys in jail. I don't believe you. I don't believe you. And you know, a sense of urgency. It's not like we have this forever.
Glenn Beck
No, I mean if Hakeem Jeffries wins.
Stu Burguiere
In 18 months with which is not outside the possibility they're going to impeach Trump. We're done. So where. Where is the doj?
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Stu Burguiere
I know Cash quite well. I believe Cash. I don't know Pam. Okay. That I'm not throwing dispersions on her. But something's not right. Why aren't you unleashing. Is it. The Deep State has them by the throat. What is it? But it's got to be solved. You. You have no. Is that A message that you think you're. I don't want to get into your private conversation with the president, but is that something you would highlight that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Jeff Fisher
You.
Stu Burguiere
You think there needs to be a sense of urgency about this. What does any of it mean? Why is Congress taking so much time off right now, traditional two weeks of vacations or two weeks back to consider where they don't have town halls? I don't know. I mean, it is because collectively, they're good people, but as a body, they're horrible. They're horrible. Absolutely horrible. I. Honestly, Steve, I can't tell you. I am at a loss for doj and I'm at a loss for Congress, and I'm at a loss on Donald Trump. Man. Why aren't you using the bully pulpit to go after your own. Here, eat them. Eat them. Meet them. Tell them. Oh, we're watching you. The whole country is watching you. Get to work. Do these things now. Have you seen the clock on the wall and the numbers spinning? We're burning daylight. Burning daylight. It was an interesting conversation. I actually, as I'm watching this, I forgot we had had this conversation. And as I'm watching this, I realize I have an answer now. I think in talking to more people that are in and around the administration, people that know the one thing that. And it goes back to Congress. Congress is holding back the nominees. The Republicans are holding back the nominees that people like Pam Bondi and Cash and everybody else need. They have to go through Congress. And some of our leadership on our side is like, you know, we passed all your people. You got all of the people. But don't expect. Don't expect to get everything through until maybe, maybe August or end of the year. You can't go a year without those people. So it's my new understanding. I'm going to ask the president tonight. But it's my new understanding that that is the real problem, is that Congress is not clearing and putting the people in that those people need around them to get the job done. I hope that's not true, but we'll see, because I don't understand it. I really don't understand it.
Glenn Beck
So you have what, an hour with the president?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I'm gonna take the. You're gonna finish the show, and I'm gonna go over to the White House. I just had put it, you know, I don't know. I'm still struggling on how I'm gonna frame everything. I think I, you know, as I've been looking at all this this morning, I think I'm gonna try to frame it under Liberation Day because I think people need to understand how big this job is of what he's trying to do. And I think, I mean, if my theory is right, that he named it Liberation Day because he's changing everything, the whole world order Since World War II that leads us into, you know, everything that he's, that he is doing and gives it a deeper understanding. But I'm going to talk about the tariffs and the economy and Doge jail for the bad guys, the courts, foreign affairs. I mean, we're going to cover it. I'm going to cover as much as I can with the president. And that'll be on Blaze TV tonight at 9:00pm from the White House tonight, 9:00pm my interview with Donald Trump.
Jeff Fisher
This is Glenn.
Glenn Beck
Becky. All right, let me talk about ammo Squared here. You've got car insurance even if you're a good driver. You have health insurance even when you're not sick. Hopefully you've got some ammo even if you haven't needed it yet. But here's the thing. Ammo isn't just something that you buy once and forget. It's a supply. And like any supply, it can run low, usually at the worst possible time. That's where ammo squared comes in. Think of it like a savings account combo for ammunition. You pick the calibers that you want, how much you want to spend each month, and they handle the rest. They store this for you in a secure facility or you can have it shipped to your door whenever you're ready. No more panic buying. No more empty shelves. No more I'll get around to it. And you know, it's kind of genius. Just like food or water or power, if you wait until you need ammo to go buy it, it's probably already too late and probably too expensive. That's why you want to go with ammo. Square.com ammosquared.com take the work out of buying ammo. 100,000 members, thousands of five star reviews.

Fire the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. It is Stubergear here for you as Glenn goes his little jaunt to the White House. For some reason, the President of the United States did not plan his schedule around our program today. It is wrong. Jeff Fisher joins us as well, of course, host of Chewing the Fat, the wonderful podcast hosted by Jeffy. We'll get to him in just a couple seconds.
Jeff Fisher
Sounds like you believe.
Glenn Beck
I. I didn't. I didn't believe it. But I'm glad I was a little bit convincing. First, let me tell you about the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. September 11 isn't just a day that we remember. It's a day that's still to this day taking lives. We lost 2,977 souls on that morning. Men, women, children. We lost heroes and first responders who ran toward the danger without a second thought. But here's something that a lot of people don't know. More first responders have died from 911 related incident illnesses since that day that died on it, which is really terrifying. The legacy of sacrifice deserves to be honored not just once a year, but regularly in every classroom across America. That's exactly what the Tunnel to Towers foundation is doing through the 911 Institute. They're equipping K through 12 teachers with powerful age appropriate resources, full curriculum units ready to teach scripted lessons, videos and even first hand survivors stories through the Discovering Heroes book series. They've even built a Traveling Museum, the 911 mobile exhibit where students walk through the day in the shoes of the firefighters who were there. It's guided by the very men who lived it to never forget. We must educate future generations. Help our nation keep its vow. Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers@t2t.org It's t the number 2t.org Jeffy, welcome. Good to see you. My man Stu.
Jeff Fisher
Good to see you. How are you?
Glenn Beck
Well, I'm doing well. I mean this is a big day for our own Glenn Beck.
Jeff Fisher
I mean it's a big surprise. He's, you know, doesn't realize he's got his own show to do.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I know it is interesting. I just feel like I would say.
Jeff Fisher
I am working on my own show. Just not this one.
Glenn Beck
Yes, it's true. He's going to be. You're, by the way, able to see this interview unedited tonight. They're gonna put this on Glen's TV show. Glen TV for course, part of your BlazeTV subscription. Blazetv.com Glenn the promo code there is Glenn. Of course, you also get studosamerica, Chewin the Fat, a part of the podcast network. Get all of it. It's a great membership and it also helps support actual journalism, actual conservative thought. Maybe some media coverage you could actually get something out of. It'll be nice. I'll be interested to see this interview today night with the president and Glenn. I know it's a different thing doing an interview on your show when President Trump's on the phone as opposed to going to the White House and doing it there face to face.
Jeff Fisher
On his ground.
Glenn Beck
It's on his ground, right?
Jeff Fisher
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And it's interesting because the president, he's got about an hour with the president. Glenn does. And the president isn't one of those guys that sometimes you bring on a guest, you know this Jeffy. You bring on a guest and they answer in like half sentences and they're kind of, they're kind of boring and they're quick and they don't say anything interesting. And they get, they're done after two sentences and they kind of let you go on to the next question. That's not President Trump.
Jeff Fisher
That is not Donald Trump.
Stu Burguiere
No.
Glenn Beck
President Trump is going to give you. He's going to go, you're going to start him off. He's going to go.
Jeff Fisher
You're not going to make a point to get to what you want to get to.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it's hard. It is hard. It's a challenge with him because, you know, look, the guy is, he's a talker. He likes talking about this stuff. He cares about it quite a bit. And he'll just go especially.
Jeff Fisher
And if you want to confront him on something, if you want, if he says something, you're like, well, let's back up and think about this for a second. Yeah, now you've wasted another. Not wasted, but I mean, There goes another 10 minutes right. Of the hour that you have.
Glenn Beck
You have to really be focused. And I wouldn't, I don't know. Glenn, I think, can be up and down on that one. Sometimes he's very focused and gets to the stuff he wants to get to.
Jeff Fisher
Other times.
Glenn Beck
Other times maybe not so much. So we'll see what happens tonight. I'm very interested to Watch this. Glenn obviously goes into this wanting to ask about all the important stuff that's going on, but you can only get to certain things. And we'll see what he gets to tonight on the program. Again, the show airs at. Was it 9pm Eastern? I can't remember. I don't know. It's on BlazeTV. Blazetv.com Glenn the promo code being Glenn, make sure to check it out. You'll save 20 bucks on subscription if you go about it that way. One thing I don't know that he'll have a chance to get to is the new proposal from the FDA to phase out dyes used in a bunch of foods. This is the part you better not.
Jeff Fisher
Be messing with my Skittles still. Tell you what, I don't care about all the other red dye, yellow dye. Don't mess with my Skittles.
Glenn Beck
No, no, you don't want your Skittle. I will say I'm not shocked to see you defending Big Food and I'll be probably with you on this as well. I mean, the red dye thing is something they've been trying to push for a while. You know, there have been a lot of calls for this to be banned for a long time. The Biden administration did do this as well. They banned red dye number three. One red dye, one red dye number three. Now these are foods that. These are dyes that are in all sorts of foods. Though it's maybe a little overblown how many foods they're in. A lot of it has been, you know, some companies have just decided they didn't want to put these dyes in foods already. But they say the fluorescent red of Flamin Hot Cheetos. Are you a Flamin Hot Cheetos guy, Jeffy? Not me neither. I like the cheesy stuff. I feel like the Flamin hot stuff. They just abandoned the cheese. You wanna give me a spicy cheese flavored thing? I'm in. But what they're doing there is they're doing a lot of just the spice without the cheese. And I just, you know, so that could go away. That one's fine. Go ahead. They do say the brilliant teal of Mountain Dew Baja Blast, which I do enjoy quite a bit. And the colorful rainbow of Skittles may soon be dimmed.
Jeff Fisher
This is unacceptable.
Glenn Beck
The FDA is phasing out the use of these they call petroleum based synthetic dyes by the end of next year. This is what they announced. Now it's interesting to see how they're doing this. Their approach is not as heavy handed as I would say the left has engaged in over the years where they're just going out and actually banning it. They seem to be indicating they're going to work with companies to do it.
Jeff Fisher
Now have to come to the table and say, look, we can't get rid of this one because of this.
Stu Burguiere
Right.
Glenn Beck
There'll be, I'm sure, a lobbying effort. And look, the reason why these dies are used is typically because they're less expensive than the alternatives and also more vibrant.
Jeff Fisher
Right. That's the thing. They want a bright, especially like the citrus ones they talked about.
Glenn Beck
Right. Well, I'll give you this example. RFK Jr Good luck. I'll be honest, I'm not an RFK Jr guy like Marty Makari is another guy who's been out there talking about this. I like him a lot. Big J Bhattacharya guy. A lot of the people that Donald Trump has chosen for his health apparatus. I really do like RFK Jr. Not so much. I will admit to you. He was talking about how he had this big thing when he was running for president against Donald Trump when he was talking about Fruit Loops and how Canadian Fruit Loops only have three ingredients and we have all these ingredients in our Fruit Loops. Now, needless to say, that's not even remotely close to accurate. I would love to know which three ingredients you could form a Fruit Loop with because I don't know, there's just not a physical way to do it. You can't make fruits with three ingredients. It's not even remotely close to true. The only way to make Froot Loops in three ingredients is if you actually use real fruit. Right.
Jeff Fisher
Okay.
Glenn Beck
If you use just.
Jeff Fisher
And that's what Canada does.
Glenn Beck
No, that is not what they do. They do not have three ingredients. They have basically, I think the exact same amount might be one or two less ingredients, fewer ingredients, but basically the exact same amount of ingredients. But what they do that is different than us is they utilize different, different dyes for, for their Fruit Loops. So if you look at the Fruit Loops side by side, Canadian Froot Loops. U S Froot Loops. I'm sorry, there's no doubt which one you're taking. You're taking the good old American Frank Fruit Loops.
Jeff Fisher
Right?
Glenn Beck
They look better. They look, they're, they pop. Right? They've got those cool colors, the bright blues and the bright, bright reds and the bright yellows. And then you have that kind of like, like boring, like cereal, you know, look. And, and of course we should point out cereals without these Flavorings. Fruit loop type cereals are currently widely available in the United States if you choose to want.
Jeff Fisher
And they've been available for forever, they're.
Glenn Beck
Available for a very long time. Again, it's usually, I will say, a little bit more expensive because the reason why they use the artificial dyes, first of all, they look better and they're more enticing to people. And secondarily, they are cheaper. If you go to Trader Joe's, you can find tons of cereals that are not flavored with artificial flavorings, but they're going to cost a lot more. They're much more expensive when you take all these ingredients out. So that's why a lot of these big cereal companies utilize these dyes. They're cheaper and of course they also look better. But you can get the other ones if you want them. Now, to me, as a person who wants less government interference rather than more, I typically lean on the side of wanting the options to all be out there. You should be able to choose what you want. Now, I know, know what I will choose every single time, which is the good old American Petroleum based food coloring. Yeah, that's what I want.
Jeff Fisher
Absolutely. But I open up my bag of Skittles, if I don't have those vibrant colors staring back at me, shining, ready to be eaten, I don't.
Stu Burguiere
Right.
Jeff Fisher
I don't want.
Glenn Beck
I don't know why either, because it doesn't really change the taste of them at all.
Jeff Fisher
They all taste. Everyone is different. Stu.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, Fruit Loops. By the way, did you know this? And I'm sure you did, Jeffy, but did you know that every fruit loop, no matter what the color, tastes the same?
Jeff Fisher
Tastes exactly the same.
Glenn Beck
It tastes the same. Which is interesting.
Jeff Fisher
That's why on top of whatever they put in the dyes for Froot Loops, you need a little bit more extra sugar on top of them.
Stu Burguiere
Right.
Jeff Fisher
Just to brighten it up a little bit.
Glenn Beck
You need to brighten it up a little bit. That's not. Again, healthy choice is not exactly your strong suit. So this is what they're going into now. They say there's been an interesting. The studies on this, I will say are not, not overwhelming. If you go back and look, there.
Jeff Fisher
Have been very few, actually, there have been very few.
Glenn Beck
And what they've shown has been really mixed. I mean, there was a study a long time ago, and this is the basis again. This was the Biden administration getting rid of red number three. Now, they tried to get rid of red number three. They eventually did it. They did it. Right before Trump came into office. And the study said that certain rats can get cancer with certain amounts of.
Jeff Fisher
Number three levels taken. Yes, yes.
Glenn Beck
Now, the levels, I mean, it's completely absurd. First of all, they gave 65 times the maximum dose to these rats, and they gave them 65 times the maximum dose every day for 28 consecutive months.
Jeff Fisher
Wow.
Glenn Beck
Now, I don't know if there's any substance you could take at that level that would not cause cancer, but maybe there's one. I don't know what it would be. You probably even with that, if you had 65, the amount of times of the amount of maximum, the maximum dose of water every day for 28 months, you'd probably be dead.
Jeff Fisher
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
So I don't know why that is an important study, but that is what they did on, by the way, the study. The author of the study, which they used to take red number three off the market, says it's actually safe. So they took his study where he said it's safe and then used that to pull it off the market. Now, one of the things they've studied over the years, Jeffy, is this concept of it causing adhd.
Jeff Fisher
Yeah, yeah. That was one of the California studies.
Glenn Beck
Right. There's more basis to that one because they have found about half the studies that they've looked at, they've seen some effect on some children when it comes to measure of adhd. And it's funny, I have a friend who is, you know, he's like our lovely Hillary who does the four minute buzz here. She was just busting on me because she's, you know, she likes the more natural approach. She's certainly more healthy than I am. So we all know that. But, you know, I have a friend who's kind of like Hillary and that, you know, he's very natural and likes to talk to me about how every chemical in our food is bad. And we go back and forth about this, and it was funny because this week he's telling me we have to pull off all these food colors because of adhd. Last week he was telling me ADHD didn't exist. And I'm like, wait a minute, you were the one who was telling me last week that ADHD was just a scam. And then this week you're telling me we have to pull red number of whatever, 40 off the shelf because it causes ADHD. So I'm a bit confused as to what we're doing here. Exactly. But, I mean, I think most people are like, look, if I could do without some petroleum Based food coloring. Sure, I'll choose it. Not everyone might be us, Jeffy. Some people might want that.
Jeff Fisher
Fine. Whatever. You be you.
Glenn Beck
By the way, I will say it is available for you. It's available right now.
Jeff Fisher
Thank you.
Glenn Beck
Now, one of the things you might notice if these things go away is that prices do go up on these items, right? Like, because the. The alternatives are more expensive.
Jeff Fisher
Well, that's what we've been told forever.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, and we'll see. Maybe. Maybe at a certain scale.
Jeff Fisher
No. No investigations on how to do the product cheaper without it knowing it was coming.
Glenn Beck
I mean, hope so. You'd think that they would. And there are alternatives, right? Beet juice is one of them. You know, beet juice?
Jeff Fisher
Mess with my Skittles, man. If you start putting beet juices, my Skittles.
Glenn Beck
Look, maybe people want beet juice. That's good.
Jeff Fisher
They can have it, but not with their Skittles.
Glenn Beck
And by the way, even things like Skittles, there are quote unquote natural alternatives. Like, like you pull them off of a tree. Natural alternatives for your Skittles. Those do exist.
Jeff Fisher
I remember picking them. If they get overripe, you got to eat them off the ground.
Glenn Beck
You do, you do, you do. All right, well, we'll come back. We'll talk about the alternatives here in just a second. What's going to be happening? First, let me tell you about Lear Capital. Some things in life are temporary. Trends, headlines, the ups and downs of the market. But wisdom, real wisdom, stands the test of time. Stability is what Lear Capital is all about. Because in a world that feels more volatile by the day, gold and silver don't play by the same rules. They're not just investments. They're anchors that hold the market. When there's sways and there's currencies going crazy and governments are spending like there's no tomorrow, gold is there. It's been there for a long time. Lear Capital helps you put something real in place, something your family can count on. For 25 years, they've helped people like you prepare for uncertain times. Not with panic, but with purpose. Because you just don't build a legacy by earning. You build it by protecting what matters. So give Lear Capital a call today. 800-957-Gold. 800-957-Gold. Get your free 4200. $4200 gold report, which seemed like a crazy number not that long ago. $4,200 for an ounce of gold. It's at like $3,500 now. So if we're getting there when you call 800-957-Gold, ask about getting up to $15,000 in free gold or silver with a qualifying purchase. 800-957-Gold is the number to call 800-957-Gold for Lear Capital. 10 seconds station ID. Okay, we're talking about the synthetic food dyes they want to phase out of foods in the United States. They're working on that. Now. What you can substitute these for. Beet juice is one of them. For reds. They have like certain blueberry juices that they use. And that's fine if you want that. They are not, not as vibrant, not as bright, but they could be a useful substitute. That's not the main one they use, though. It's not normally beet juice. It's usually carmine. Now, carmine also is known as natural number four. So instead of red 40, you're getting natural number four, which sounds wonderful.
Jeff Fisher
It sure does.
Glenn Beck
Okay, how do you make natural number four?
Jeff Fisher
I don't know, Stu.
Stu Burguiere
How do you make natural four?
Glenn Beck
I'd be interesting if people are interested in this because it sounds delicious. First of all, you go to the prickly pear cactus.
Jeff Fisher
Okay?
Glenn Beck
Okay, that kind of sounds interesting.
Jeff Fisher
I've not seen a prickly pear cactus.
Glenn Beck
Field, but I'm sure, yeah, they do exist there. Come now. Again, you're not going to be. This is not going to be an American product. This is going to be Central and South America to get these from. But you go through the prickly pear plant and you don't go into the pickle. Prickly pear plant, you don't go in there. You go to the outside of it and you scrape off the cochineal insects that are on the outside. Okay. You scrape a bunch of those off. Okay. When they become mature, you are going to harvest the plants or the bugs? The bugs you're only going to harvest. However, we should be clear, only the females of this particular species of insect you're going to take off of the prickly pear plants. I know. I don't know what kind of magnifying glass you need to figure out which one's which, but you figure it out.
Jeff Fisher
Sadly, I do. Anyway, there's a joke there somewhere.
Glenn Beck
So when these insects are mature, you brush them off the cactus and they mostly are collected by hand, a very labor intensive process. Then the insects are killed and dried using sunlight, ovens or steam. Takes about 70,000 of these bugs to make a pound of dye that will go into your Skittles very soon.
Jeff Fisher
That's gotta be cheap.
Glenn Beck
Now, once you dry the bugs out, you then Grind the bugs into a fine powder. And you take that powder and you boil it in water and you extract the vibrant carminic acid. Now, this mixture is now filtered. And this is. People are like, oh, what, I'm gonna be eating insects parts? No, it's filtered to root. Remove the insect solids. You'll just be. You'll just be having the insect powder and the goo that leaves the liquid red extract. And then it is treated with some mineral salts to stabilize the pigment. It is then concentrated, dried into a fine powder, and then kept as a liquid concentrate. And then it's shipped to be added to your skin right there.
Jeff Fisher
So we're going to have to be at least one bag of Skittles in America. I mean, that's a lot of work to take. Yeah.
Glenn Beck
One pound. That is amazing. One pound of dice. 70,000 bugs. Now, I've been told that people are resistant to the movement to eat bugs. Yeah, that is what I've been told over the past few months. I thought we had this whole, you know, world Economic forum, Klaus Schwab, don't eat zebugs thing. We will be eating more bugs if we go down this road. I don't think there's any questions about that. I don't know that people want that exactly. I think they'd rather have beet juice.
Jeff Fisher
But it's not going to be that many. You can't make the amount of product that we make doing that. I just can't.
Glenn Beck
I think the bugs are plentiful, Jeffy. This is why eating bugs is so wonderful. You can go and get. You can create these things, but so.
Jeff Fisher
That once we get the supply chain up and running of these cactus bugs, we're good to go, though.
Glenn Beck
I guess we're good to go at that point. Once we have. We. And we are already using this in. In a bunch of foods. This isn't like a brand new thing. This is the, you know, one of the main alternatives to. To red number 40. All right, so eat zebugs. Eat zebugs in your Skittles. I don't know. I'm not too enthused, frankly, about that switch off. But, you know, again, people should be able to have the choices and eat all the bugs that they desire. 888, 727. Beck is the number.
Jeff Fisher
This is Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck
Now, maybe you want to try stay away from eating bugs. Maybe you're thinking maybe you would eat something a little more traditionally American. Maybe you're seeing the meat at the grocery store that you're Buying and you're like, I don't think I want that. Prices are kind of going way up and the labels are confusing. And half the time you're not even sure if the chicken you're buying is from America or just kind of maybe vacationed here once. I don't know if it's. If you're kind of going through that. You might want good ranchers. They source 100% of American meat. This is no mystery. Labels, no imported junk pretending to be local. We're talking better beef, better chicken, better everything. It's all from American farms and ranches and it shows up right at your door. You don't have to do anything weird like barter with a butcher or learn what mechanically separated means or you know, you know, you don't have to deal with any of the crazy stuff they're trying to pull on you these days. You just pick up a box, they ship it frozen and packed, you know, like it's from Fort Knox. And then you got a freezer full of high quality meat that didn't cost you or your sanity or your savings. If you're tired of playing grocery store roulette, go to goodranchers.com you'll save time, money and probably a little bit of your sanity. Go to goodranchers.com subscribe today. Goodranchers.com it's American meat delivered. All right, we've got much, much more. More of the preview of Glenn's interview tonight. Don't miss it.

Jeff Fisher
Is it going to be in from the oval or is it like shuffling him off on one of the side room?
Glenn Beck
That's a good question. I don't, I don't know where they're going to do it. I know they were. There was a lot of talk beforehand because there are some incredible shots you can get when it comes to just an amazing look of an interview inside that building, obviously. And I know Glenn. Glenn loves his sets. Glenn loves his. He loves his cinematography. He's very focused on the look of the interview.
Jeff Fisher
Mr. President, could you slide to your left just a little bit? I need that.
Glenn Beck
I just say, Glenn, if you're concerned about the look of the interview, perhaps a few push ups, you know what I mean? I'm just saying here, have this nice plate of, of bugs that look like red dot.
Jeff Fisher
There you go.
Glenn Beck
It should take some of that. It's natural. He mentioned some of the craziness going on in the city. Homelessness is a massive problem there now. And a lot of mental illness on the streets, as Glenn mentioned, a lot of mental illness inside of the Capitol as well. And a lot of corruption there, too. If you remember the story of Bob Menendez. He was the Democratic senator from New Jersey and was there forever. Was accused of credibly, over many, many crimes for a long time. And Democrats just kept putting him in office and put him in office and put him in office. Eventually got to the place where it was completely ridiculous for him to stay. He was accused of accepting bribes, including gold bars, famously.
Jeff Fisher
Oh, yes, cash.
Glenn Beck
A luxury car in exchange for political favors. They had found over $480,000 in cash hidden in clothing and in closets.
Jeff Fisher
It's awesome.
Glenn Beck
Plus, I love this, 13 gold bars in his home. How many gold bars do you have in your home right now, Jeffy? Would you say right now if you could estimate it? You don't have to give me an exact number, obviously. Just estimate the number of.
Stu Burguiere
Probably.
Jeff Fisher
Probably close to zero.
Stu Burguiere
Really.
Jeff Fisher
I don't want to. I don't want to go out on a limb and say there might be, you know, less than zero.
Glenn Beck
Less than zero. You may owe a gold bar to a couple of people. This was. These are business interests. You know, people had interest from Egypt and across the world.
Jeff Fisher
Oh, yeah.
Glenn Beck
In return, he helped secure some arms deals. He allegedly was trying to influence US foreign policy. He was indicted in September 2023 for the bribery and the fraud and the acting as a foreign agent. He was hit with additional charges in early 2024. They had actually traced the gold bar serial numbers to previous robberies. Now, they don't think he actually robbed any banks.
Jeff Fisher
No, no, no.
Glenn Beck
But, but seemingly the, the one of the businessmen who was alleged of trying to bribe him was involved in the, in the robbery.
Jeff Fisher
To be fair, he was still a senator now and he still was going on as normal. He didn't leave the, the Senate until, I think, after he was convicted.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, because he kept eventually turned against him. The vibe, you know, people like Fetterman were on it right away saying like, this guy's got to resign. But most of the Democrats kind of just shut their mouth on it. Eventually got to the point where it was so ridiculous they had to get him out of there. And he threatened to maybe run as an independent and didn't really go down that road. So now he was on trial and he was convicted, but his wife was also involved in this, right, Jeffrey?
Jeff Fisher
Correct. And they split up the trial because the wife had breast cancer. And that originally his defense was, oh, yeah, my wife has breast cancer. She did it.
Glenn Beck
All right.
Stu Burguiere
It was all her.
Glenn Beck
It was, he really did push it off on her initially.
Jeff Fisher
Right. And now he, again, he's going to prison. He, he's going to prison. In June, he asked the judge after he was found guilty to postpone him going to prison because he wanted to help in his wife's trial, which was, which was nice of him.
Glenn Beck
Very nice.
Jeff Fisher
Okay, fine.
Stu Burguiere
No problem.
Glenn Beck
Husband.
Jeff Fisher
I need to help her through her trial. Yeah, he didn't come to trial once. Her trial went on for several weeks. Not once.
Glenn Beck
He didn't.
Jeff Fisher
Even now, maybe he was helping her out on the side at home. I don't know.
Glenn Beck
Wait a minute. So he got the, the, the prison time delayed to help her in the trial, but they didn't go to the trial.
Jeff Fisher
Never showed up once.
Glenn Beck
Not one time. Not even like the first day you show up with your arm around. I'm just super supportive of my wife life. He just didn't come at all.
Jeff Fisher
That's correct. Now she has been found guilty of bribery, conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges. And she's going to be sentenced about the same time as he goes to prison. And she's probably going to get about the same amount of time that he gets.
Glenn Beck
So she was really involved in this. It wasn't just him. How do you know that?
Jeff Fisher
There were times. There was one, there was one insurance broker that was having a, a criminal probe against them. And he gave her a car to make sure that Bob Gold Bar Menendez takes care of the criminal probe. Oh, yeah, because there's, there's records of. He testified and said that he, he already, he gave her a down payment on the car. She called hubby and said, hey, look at my new car. And then she was in another meeting, I think with the Egyptians, although I'm not sure when this meeting was at Egypt dinner party. And she was just like, what else can the love of my life do for you today? I mean, so she was definitely pushing. She was pushing, absolutely. Now, I did not know this one quick thing about when they found all the cash stuff in the house. Yes, it said that. Including inside the former senator's official government windbreaker. I didn't know they had official government windbreakers.
Glenn Beck
Is that part of the perks package? I guess you get a government windbreaker.
Jeff Fisher
Don't keep cashing it at the House, though.
Glenn Beck
I have heard some of these congressmen break wind often, so I don't know if that has anything to do especially. What's the guy with the super high pants?
Jeff Fisher
Oh, yeah. From New York.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, from New York. I can't think of his name. He's the guy that they say is.
Stu Burguiere
The worst spelling worst offender.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, Congressman.
Jeff Fisher
I could see him.
Glenn Beck
Yes, I can see him too, because.
Jeff Fisher
His pulls his pants way up.
Glenn Beck
They're jacked up to his nipples.
Jeff Fisher
Yes.
Glenn Beck
What is it again? No, not Barney Frank. He's a former congressman. Why can I not think of. We'll get the name here in a second. You know who he is?
Jeff Fisher
You absolutely know who he is. I can't think of a stupid name.
Glenn Beck
But this is a fascinating. Because she. It wasn't like she got a Toyota Corolla either. It was a Mercedes.
Jeff Fisher
Mercedes Benz. Yeah. So she got that. Anyway, it's just fascinating. She's guilty now and she gets sentenced. About the time that he goes to prison, both of them are done. And it was fascinating to me, especially since a. He tried to throw her under the bus and then he gets found guilty and then he talks the judge into to postponing him showing up for prison because he's going to help her with her trial and he doesn't show up. He's a good guy.
Glenn Beck
Good guy. By the way, Jerry Nadler is the name we were thinking of. People were screaming it at the radios. I apologize. Jerry Nadler. It is interesting. He was accused as being the smelliest member of Congress.
Jeff Fisher
Yeah. There were a number of reports that Jerry was. I forget the term of him. Like think of a firecracker going off down the aisle in Congress.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Jeff Fisher
He would just come along as a carpet bomb.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, he had a little bit of a flatulence issue was the accusation. I will say it would be an interesting change in our society and I don't know how America would change, but I think it would change dramatically. If we had like smell o vision on TV where when we watched C Span, you could smell what these people smelled like. I think, think. I think there'd be a big change in this country. I think a lot of the people who are currently in Congress would be. Would be defeated.
Jeff Fisher
I don't disagree with you. Except, you know, that's not what we're going to be using it for.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Jeff Fisher
On television.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Jeff Fisher
Watching other things. Probably.
Glenn Beck
None of it's good. None of it. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing's positive. By the way, they're not the only relationship that's having some problems. I mentioned this a little bit earlier. Our friend Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Jeff Fisher
The Maryland father.
Glenn Beck
The Maryland father, yes. I don't know if he was father of the year, although I will assume that the Democrats will be giving him that award any day now. But he, of course, was a suspected MS.13 gang member. He was here in the country illegally. He waited five. Some reports. I'm saying five years. Some are seven. To actually say, well, he needed asylum. And he needed asylum, Jeffy, because his mother's pupusa stand had been harassed by a gang.
Jeff Fisher
What are you gonna do?
Glenn Beck
Why? He couldn't go back home.
Jeff Fisher
What are you gonna do? You can't go back home.
Glenn Beck
Now, the issue with that claim. There's a couple issues with that claim I'll be honest with. There's a couple of them. Number one, the pupusa stand closed a long time ago, no longer exists. So it'd be odd that he couldn't go back to El Salvador because his papoosek stand was being attached, which, by the way, he left his mom there. So the gang's coming after his mom and he left. He leaves, leaves his mom in the pupusa stand there, doesn't care about clothes because they can't pay the protection money or something. That's close. Also, the actual gang in El Salvador also doesn't really exist anymore because Bukele came in and got rid of all the gangs.
Jeff Fisher
Right.
Glenn Beck
So the gangs aren't there, the pupusas aren't there, but he has to stay here. That's what we're supposed to believe.
Jeff Fisher
Well, yeah, he. And for what? For his asylum. And I know it's not asylum for his.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it was a different type of asylum claim, but it was. It was a. It was some sort of preventing a. A departure, essentially. Like there's some strange term and I can't remember, but it's like. It's like asylum.
Jeff Fisher
One of the reasons that he couldn't go back.
Glenn Beck
Right. That's what he said.
Jeff Fisher
Delaying. Yeah. Yeah.
Glenn Beck
So they, they. When they. He was going to claim asylum and they said, well, you have to do that within the first year that you're here. So they give us a nice window of a year. You can come here, set up your life, you know, go through a whole little league season. I mean, you can do a lot of stuff. And then by one year, you have to say, by the way, the only reason I'm here is because of my mom's pupusa stand, which, by the way, I mentioned this already, I think, earlier, earlier in the week, but it was around this time of day. We were talking about the pupusa stand a few, like, last week, and I immediately had to order pupusas on Uber Eats. I immediately went on and ordered pupusas to be delivered immediately after the show. And they were tremendous.
Jeff Fisher
Really?
Glenn Beck
I had never had them before. I don't know how to describe these. Kind of like corn sort of like. They're not like tortillas. They're, like, thicker, and they're kind of on both sides, almost like a sandwich. And in the middle, I got, like, cheese and jalapenos. Oh, my. It was incredible, Jeffy.
Jeff Fisher
Like, you eating this on your YouTube channel?
Glenn Beck
No, I didn't want to eat in front of people on the YouTube, but I did. I did want to give the full food review.
Stu Burguiere
If you're.
Glenn Beck
Let's put it this way. If you're in a gang currently and you're looking to harass a particular type of business, pupusas might be a good target because you might get free pupusas. And they're delicious. And they're like $4, Jeffy. Like, they.
Jeff Fisher
Oh, that's not bad.
Glenn Beck
This is an incredible value.
Jeff Fisher
That's not bad.
Glenn Beck
I don't know how we're just discovering this. Most of the country maybe has discovered it, but I just did. So I'm all in on papusas. So he is saying he wants to stay here. We're like, okay, you need to. This is crazy. It's time for you to leave. We want to get sent him out of there. And as all this is going back and forth, the Democrats kind of adopt him as a mascot, right? This MS.13 alleged member, a guy who has all these things going on that are highly questionable in his life, certainly seem to have lied to the American government. He has a wife and kids, but he's got a wife and kids. He becomes Maryland Father, not Ms. 13 member Maryland Father. Every time you hear Maryland father, a Maryland man, a Maryland father. This is the nicest guy in the world, apparently. And the left adopts him as this sort of like, cause celeb mascot in the middle of all this an accusation comes out that apparently his wife, cuz he's just a father and a husband apparently had filed for a restraining order against him based on domestic violence. Now normally that doesn't mean, it means you lose your mascot status, but not with the left. They're gonna keep adopting because she took it away anyway. It never was, it never did go fully into effect. And now her reasoning is this. In 2021, she filed a protective order against her husband alleging domestic violence. In a statement last week, however, she said she did so, quote, in case things escalated, end quote, adding that they never did. So there you go. Now, I don't know how many times, Jeffy, I know you've been on the wrong side of many restraining orders over the years. I don't know how many of them were preemptive, but apparently that's a thing.
Jeff Fisher
It is a thing. It is a thing.
Glenn Beck
So there we go.
Jeff Fisher
A lot of people are, are happy about it. Yeah. She also said, well, he's alive. And that's, that's good.
Glenn Beck
That I'm sure that is good. It is good. All right. Triple eight seven two seven BECK is the phone number. There comes a moment in every adult's life when you realize pain is no longer an occasional visitor. It's just kind of part of the team. And you wake up maybe sore from everything, from sleeping, you pull something in your neck. Just trying to look at a cloud. It gets kind of pathetic. You walk into your kitchen, your knee clicks twice. Jeffrey, how many times does your knee click when you take a walk into the kitchen?
Jeff Fisher
Every day.
Glenn Beck
Every day? Every day, over and over and over again. If this kind of sounds familiar, Relief factor is something you need to know about. It's not a drug, it's a daily supplement. It's developed by doctors and it targets pain caused by inflammation, the kind that shows up uninvited and overstays its welcome. Inflammation is, is responsible for most of the pain that we feel in our daily lives. And a lot of that is a result of just long term issues. And you can knock that out with Relief factor. Look, if your idea of an extreme sport is putting on socks without sitting down, which I will say it's getting harder and harder these days. It's harder and harder. It might be time to give relief factor a shot. 1995, you can get a three week quick start from Relief Factor. Less than a dollar a day. 1, 800 for relief. It's 1, 800, the number four relief. Or visit them at relieffactor.com it's relieffactor.com.

Let me tell you about something that the media would rather you ignore. You've heard their whole, you know, January 6th coverage. It's been delightful. They've done a great job, of course, in the mainstream media covering that. But now let's see what they're trying to hide. The final episode of BlazeTV's In Depth Investigation just dropped yesterday and it kind of blows the narrative wide open, particularly on one individual officer, Harry Dunn. We've got Capitol surveillance footage, conflicting timelines, serious questions about the story from his book and interviews. Harry Dunn was kind of seen as this big hero of January 6th by the media. You watch this. Steve Baker is the guy hosting it. There's all sorts of conflicts, all sorts of things where it seems like he just completely made it up.
Jeff Fisher
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And so that's out now.
Jeff Fisher
Those are called lies.
Glenn Beck
Lies. I guess it certainly seemed that way to me. But you judge subscribe today. Blazetv.com J6 Blazetv.com J6. You can watch the full investigation from the very beginning. Definitely worth your time as Steve Baker was about to be thrown in prison until he was pardoned for his coverage that day. So worth your time to check out. Also, of course, tonight is Glenn's interview with Donald Trump. We've mentioned, mentioned it. If you go there, subscribe, you'll get that tonight as well. We'll play some, I think, tomorrow as well on the show and get you caught up to the important parts. But you want to see the full thing. You want to go subscribe to Blaze tv Now, Jeffy, you watch every single thing that's ever aired on television. Every new show you've always watched before I've even heard of it. Did you watch the Oklahoma City bombing?
Jeff Fisher
I put that in my queue.
Glenn Beck
It is in your queue. Okay, good.
Jeff Fisher
Yeah. In fact, yesterday, because I went, oh, I gotta watch that. That's gonna be this weekend.
Glenn Beck
Okay. Yeah.
Jeff Fisher
I've got other shows to watch.
Glenn Beck
I talked to the director on my show Studios America last week. I kind of liked it. I, they didn't try to make some big point. They didn't try to tie it to Donald Trump or something like you might expect in some of these documentaries. It was just kind of taking you there and showing you and interviewing the people who were there. So that's, that's worth checking out as well. Studios America tonight, Don't miss that. And Glenn TV with President Trump, Glenn Beck.

Release Date: April 23, 2025
Host: Blaze Podcast Network
Duration: Approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes
Timestamp: [04:10] – [09:49]
The episode kicks off with Stu Burguiere addressing his preparation for an upcoming interview with President Donald Trump scheduled for the afternoon. Stu shares his anticipation and the extensive list of questions he has prepared, emphasizing the significance of this interview for the show’s audience.
Notable Quote:
Stu Burguiere: "I have pages and pages of questions for the President. This is the first 80, I think 89 days. Look at that." [04:13]
Stu narrates his strategy to extract meaningful insights from President Trump, focusing on the President’s accomplishments within his first 100 days and broader economic and political reforms.
Timestamp: [04:13] – [10:47]
Stu Burguiere delves into a significant Supreme Court case involving parents from Maryland who are suing the largest school district in the state. The lawsuit centers on the parents’ right to withdraw their children from classes featuring LGBTQ-themed books, arguing that these materials infringe upon their religious freedoms.
Key Points:
Notable Quote:
Stu Burguiere: "What is the First Amendment really all about? Sounds reasonable. Sounds like basic parenting 101." [07:00]
Glenn Beck: "It's about whether you as a parent still have a God-given right to raise your children according to your faith and your values." [07:15]
Stu emphasizes the broader implications of the case, suggesting that a Supreme Court ruling against parental rights could erode fundamental freedoms and the authority of parents in child-rearing.
