This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glen. I will tell you that Stu and I have been talking a lot about all of the different things that are in the news today. The one that we keep getting stuck on is the president's fitness test, because neither of us could even come close to it. And Stu is like, you know that's that's outrageous. That's Stu. I looked up the fitness test from John F. Kennedy in 1962. I don't think you're gonna like it. I don't think you're gonna like it. It makes this one look like a Worcester test. I'll give that to you here in just a second. Also flag burning the tariffs and everything else that is on board for today. Coming up in just a second. Stand by. We start in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Legacy Box. Every man has a closet or an attic box that is basically a time machine. We all have them. VHS tapes, labels, you know, half rubbed off, reels of Super 8 film cassettes, you know, even old cassettes and photographs that have been sitting there for decades.

First of all, you know, the number one search today, what's trending on Google is cashless bail. What is cashless bail? Cashless bail is when somebody is arrested and charged with a crime. They may be released before trial if they can pay bail. Okay? That is the financial guarantee that you're actually going to show up in court. Cashless bail removes money from the equation. So instead, a judge decides to release. You know, a release is based on other factors. The severity of the crime, the person's criminal history, whether they pose a risk to the public or if they're going to, you know, leave. So there is no cash. You get bail without any cash. That's, that's Easy. Now, some people are saying, you know, there shouldn't be justice, shouldn't be for sale. It's not. Safety is what everybody's worried about, not justice. And, you know, the left sees cashless bail as a step towards, you know, fairness. You know, I, Who I. I tend to look at it as you're just letting the person out. Just letting the person out. I mean, I don't. I'm not for excessive bail. That's in the Constitution. You cannot have excessive bail. I think this is the exact opposite of six of excessive bail. You know, this is no bail. And there are some. There are some things that are tried and true and have been going on for a long, long time that prove to show results when you're trying to stop crime. Bail is one of them. Excessive bail is a sign of real problems in a society. No bail, I believe, is a problem of real. A real problem in societies, ours in particular. So that's what cashless bail is. Let me get that off the plate. Okay. I want to talk about the Defense Department now, maybe being the Department of War. You know, Trump is. Trump is just nonstop. He just doesn't stop every day. It's like, I've heard it described by some people as Christmas. Every morning you wake up and you're like, what's under the tree today? Sometimes it is coal, sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's a new bike that you've been waiting for forever. But every day, he is got something else underneath the tree for us to open up. There's a couple today that need to be opened and discussed, and one of them is the Department of Defense or the Department of War. And when I first heard this, I thought, I don't know how I feel about that, because I want to be defensive. I don't want war. Who wants war? War is so icky and so scary. I don't want war. Okay. For the first 158 years of our republic, that's what it was. It was the Department of War. Why? Because we were off again, on again. We didn't have this big Department of Defense. We didn't have a standing army. When we had to go to war, we just got everybody together and say, bring your guns in. And we had a, you know, Department of War that would open up and we could fight that war. Then we would send everybody home. We had that during, you know, Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, the trenches of France, the beaches of Normandy, all of them. What changed? Well, Harry Truman came into office in 1947. And it was, you know, the most destructive war of all time. But the, but the war that would change everything. And Truman recognized that we had to have a standing army. Well, Americans were against that. They didn't want a standing army. You know, we were, we were like, well, wait, wait, wait. What? Because it was such a huge change. And so Truman convinced everybody that we had to have a standing army because of now the bomb and everything else. So he established the military and within two years it was called the Department of Defense. Okay, why did he do that? Was that an act of political correctness? You know, before we had a term, you know, for that, was it meant to sue the war weary public? Remember, we had been through two world wars in 20 years. Is this trying to soften us and say we're not the aggressor? We don't have. We don't have a Department of War. We have a Department of Defense. We are only a defender, you know, or was it something else? What happened with the next president? Because the first. The president that did this is Truman. Who was the next president? The next president was Eisenhower, the general. Okay? He was the general that led the troops on the beaches of Normandy. He was, he was the five star Allied commander of World War II. He becomes president and what is the last act he does in office? The last act he does is give a speech where he's like, hey, I just want to warn you, you know me, I kind of like, you know, I kind of like the military. You know, I fought kind of several wars. The big one, you might have remembered WW2, you know, the big one, I was there. And I just want you to know we're in trouble because there's this military industrial complex and a military educational complex. And those two are going to get together and it's going to be really bad for America unless we all pay attention. What he was saying was we now have a Department of Defense full time. And you might think it's for defense, but it's not. It is going to start doing things that it shouldn't do. And it's going to start convincing you that we should be at war when maybe we shouldn't because it will be good for the military industrial complex. And so after we went to the Department of Defense, now it's not just because of the name, but after we went to the Department of Defense because we had an established military now that was full time, we started spending money like there was no tomorrow. And we started working on weapons. And those weapons had to be used and Proliferated and everything else. Else. And we ended up here. So the President comes out and he says, I really, really think we need the Department of War. And everybody is like, wait a minute. I don't know if I like the Department of War. Truman, I think, was rebranding it for peacetime. Donald Trump is saying, and I quote, I don't want to be defense only. We want defense, but we want offense, too. And he is tapping into something that is a true. You know, you have to be, well, strength. You know, peace through strength. This was Ronald Reagan. I think Donald Trump is taking this a step further on the same. We're talking about this on the same day he said we should get rid of all of our nuclear missiles. Who says this? Oh, I remember the other warmonger, Ronald Reagan. We just found out yesterday that Ronald Reagan was trying to get rid of our nuclear missiles. Um, he didn't. He didn't want to get all rid of all nukes. He wanted the bombs that could be loaded on planes, but planes could be turned around. Missiles cannot be turned around. And so he said, let's get rid of missiles as a world. Well, Donald Trump, I don't think, coincidentally this week is coming out and saying the same thing, but he's also saying at the same time, let's get rid of missiles. He's saying we should have a Department of War. I don't think anybody's gonna really give you all of this. I certainly know the New York Times and the Post and everything else that all of your liberal friends read are not gonna do anything except, see, he's a. He's a warmonger. He's a warmonger. No, he's really not. I think the best way to stop war, and you're seeing it right now, is to have a leader and a country that knows exactly who they are. They walk up to the plate and say, you know, we could do this the easy way. We could do this the hard way. I recommend you do it the easy way. Let's sit down, let's have a conversation. Let's stop the killing. And he tries and he tries and he tries, but knowing if you don't want to go that way, that's fine, but I'm going to turn your sand into glass overnight, and I'm not going to rebuild you. I'm not going to bail you out. You want to start something, go ahead. But we will finish it when your country has the credibility that that is. Exactly. He means what he says and says what he means, which is exactly what Donald Trump is doing every. Why is the world coming to us? Why is he able to solve all of these problems? Why has he been able to grant peace? Why has he been able to do all of these things that nobody else has even been able to do? Now, yes, he hasn't solved Ukraine and Russia, but not all conflicts are really easy, super easy to solve, you know, with a bowl of peanuts and a nice glass of iced tea. Some of them are a little difficult. But why is the world coming to us? Why is he having. Is he effective like this? Because they know he means what he says and says what he means. You want to solve this? Great. You don't want to solve this, then these are the conditions that we're going to move forward on. And that doesn't. That doesn't embolden enemies, that terrifies them. He is the most anti war president we have had since Jimmy Carter. But Jimmy Carter did not have the strength. Carter was weak and signaled weakness, and so he made the world more unsafe. This president is strong. This president is making the country stronger. And he believes in peace just as much as Jimmy Carter does. I think this president is saying, I want the people to know that this is the Department of War, not just externally, but internally, too. We need to be reminded all of that money, that defense. When you think of defense, what do you think you think of? Well, there's cybersecurity and there's all this other kind of stuff, and we've got spy programs and, you know, we're going to have a missile shield. But when you think of war, what do you think? My children are going to die. Bombs will be dropped. That's the reality. I think Donald Trump is trying to remind us that's the reality of our Defense Department. And we keep getting roped into all of these wars that are meaningless. Why? Because somebody's making money. So I don't know. Are you know, who are we? Do names even matter? Do names guide our national character or follow it? Are names important? My dad always taught me words matter. Every word matters because every word tells you something about what a man believes about himself. So do we need a Department of Defense or Department of War? What does the answer tell us about our leaders and about ourselves? I can't believe I'm saying this, because just last night before I really started thinking this through, I was against the Department of War. I think I'm actually for the Department of War. I think it's the right thing to do. It shows. It shows strength externally, and it reminds us Most importantly, internally, it is war. It is death and destruction. That's the biggest thing that bothers me about our Department of Defense when they're like, well, we got a nation build and we're going to train our Navy to go in and be just buddies. That's not what the Navy is for. That's not what the Air Force is for. That's not what anybody is for in the Department of Defense. It is for war. Break things, kill people. That has to be remind. We have to remind ourselves every time. You want to build things, you want to be peaceful, you want to make sure that's what, that's perhaps, perhaps what the State Department is for. The Department of War is for war. Let's be clear and stop deluding ourselves. Back in just a second. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
