The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Isn't it though? Welcome to it. It is Pat and Stew for Glenn. We have been joined for the first time in the last few days by perhaps I would guess the most obnoxious person on the face of the planet right now.
Stu Burguiere
That's right.
Pat Gray
Sadly, Stupiders Eagles won the Super Bowl. And they didn't just win. Jeez, they crushed the Chiefs. We'll get into that and so much more. There's so much to get into and we'll do that in 60 seconds.
Stu Burguiere
So before we do that, just a moment, I want you to think about what it would look like to be out of debt. It would kind of feel like your team winning the super bowl on your birthday. That's what it would be like. Especially the.
Pat Gray
That's right. Happy birthday, too.
Stu Burguiere
Thank you.
Pat Gray
What, two days ago?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. Yeah, two days ago. So pretty. It's a fun day. And it was. It was a lot of. A lot of good stuff coming together.
Pat Gray
Oh, that was the super bowl day.
Stu Burguiere
It was the super bowl day.
Pat Gray
That's a nice little present for you, wasn't it?
Stu Burguiere
It was. It was. It was incredible. It was incredible. I guess that's what it feels like when you just get out of debt for that first time. I remember doing that first time getting out of debt. We went to. This is back in the day. You can see how long it was back in the day. We went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse to celebrate. Got immediately back into debt with that meal. But it was a lot of fun. American Financing is a great place if you want to get to that position because they can help you refinance your debt. They can help you work through it.

Pat Gray
Yeah. So Stu returns Super Bowl 59. Kind of went your way.
Stu Burguiere
Yes, didn't it? Gosh, it was the greatest. It was the greatest. Pat, I noticed Glenn didn't bother showing up today.
Pat Gray
No, right.
Stu Burguiere
It's interesting.
Pat Gray
It is.
Stu Burguiere
Mr. Big Chiefs Fan. No. No show today, huh? You talk to him about it yesterday?
Pat Gray
Yeah, we talked. Yes, we did.
Stu Burguiere
And how did he feel? Can you give me a little.
Pat Gray
It was a little bummed.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
Yeah. Super bowl party at his house ended rather abruptly at halftime.
Stu Burguiere
I did get a report that the ranch was a bit solemn. Yeah, that was the report I got from the ranch, which. It made me a little happy. And again, look, the Chiefs have had so much success, you know.
Pat Gray
They have. Yeah, they have.
Stu Burguiere
The first time I Went to the super bowl. Was the Eagles in, you know, early 2000s against the Patriots. And the Patriots, like, you think, oh, that team's gonna bust on you on the way home on the, you know, on the, on the bus, you're like, they're gonna be all over you and just be like, ah, yeah, our team. Got your team. Not at all. They were like, hey, you know, you guys did well. Good job getting to this game. Because the Patriots were so used to it at that point.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
You know, they'd won, you know, three of four Super Bowls or whatever it was. And that's kind of where the Chiefs are. They're like, we're probably gonna win five more of these things, so good job. You know, like that. They were. They're great. F. It's a great organization. Mahomes is awesome. It's a great team. It is.
Pat Gray
I've got a great coach who used to be the coach of the team you love.
Stu Burguiere
I know. And it would have been tough to see him take away another super bowl from the Eagles.
Pat Gray
Isn't he, isn't he the only coach who's ever been the, the coach with the most wins at two franchises being Philadelphia and Kansas City?
Stu Burguiere
That sounds right.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
And I think he's the only one ever.
Stu Burguiere
He's the only one also who has a shot at getting the ult all time win record. He's. He keeps going this rave.
Pat Gray
So he's only what, 30 games or something behind.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. Chiefs are great. And if you're a Chiefs fan, I, I feel for you. Although, you know, you've. You've had, you've had your run here, which is great. It was good to see though, the Eagles, I mean, really dominated that game from the very beginning.
Pat Gray
It did. It was just a bad game. I said yesterday, I think it, I think only Eagles fans could have enjoyed that.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I could see that. I can see it was a. It was a.
Pat Gray
It wasn't fun.
Stu Burguiere
An absolute domination.
Pat Gray
It was a beat down.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, it really was. I mean, they got a couple garbage time touchdowns at the very end to make the score look a little respectable.
Pat Gray
But it was, it was not a 40 to 22 game. It was more like a 40 to 6 game.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. And I understand that like, you know, this is not a sports show and we could do. I could do sports talk on this all day long. But I will say it was fascinating to see. It was just an absolute destruction and it was, it's different. I think every super bowl, you know, we've been doing these Things for a long. I was at my 20th Super Bowl, 20. So, yeah, we were trying to figure.
Pat Gray
That out the other day, how many you'd actually been.
Stu Burguiere
20.
Pat Gray
20 Super Bowls. Did you wait again until the last minute to get the tickets or did you have them when you went?
Stu Burguiere
This one was. We got them. That was pretty last minute. It's always last minute.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
You know, I don't want to advise people too much on this because it would cost money for me, but basically, like, what happens every single super bowl, if you're. If your team's ever going to go, I'll give you this because I want people in this audience to get better values. What happens is your team wins the championship game, everyone gets really excited. They go, oh, my gosh, my team's in the Super Bowl. We should go. And they pump themselves up. And over the next 24 to 48 hours, they decide to go buy tickets. And so that is almost always where the highest price tickets go, 24 to 48 hours after the championship games, because the teams in those cities are going, we got to go. What are we going to do? And now I will say, if your wife is going to say no, and you need the emotion to get over that hump, okay, you can buy them that day. But it's going to be crazy. You're going to pay the highest price possible. The lowest prices are typically Tuesday to Thursday before the game. So skip that whole super bowl week. Yeah, skip that whole first week and you go Tuesday to Thursday. This game in particular was a really weird situation because the prices were really low. This is probably the lowest price super bowl as. As compared to face value that I can remember in really years and years and years and years. Part of that is probably Chiefs fatigue. Part of it is Eagles versus Chiefs. Like, both of those teams have been there recently. You know, if it was Detroit, Buffalo or something, the tickets, I'm sure, would have been sky high.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
The other thing was the. I don't know if they're just using more and more hotel rooms in these cities because the operation's getting so much even bigger than it used to be, but. And also that New Orleans is a city. They've had their issues. I don't know if you've heard this, Pat, over the past 20 years or so, there have been some incidents that have hurt the growth of New Orleans.
Pat Gray
No. Yeah, yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Let me give you an example of this. After. After the game on Monday, you know, my son and I, we have got, like, an hour to kill before we go to the airport, which, by the way, was a terrible idea because we did not have an hour to kill. Because I've never seen an airport like that in my entire life after going to 20 Super Bowls. Never seen a worse airport. It was a madhouse. And we had to run to get our flight. And only reason we made it was because it was delayed. Anyway, we had this supposed hour to kill. And I'm like, what I want to go do is drive by Six Flags New Orleans. So because Six Flags New Orleans was a amusement park that they built in like the early 2000. I want to say 2002, 2003. And then a couple years after they built it, there was this issue with a little storm that rolled in.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And kind of wiped the city out. So they just gave up on it. Like, it was built, it was open. They closed it for the weekend. And it never reopened. Nope. Whole amusement park.
Pat Gray
Wow.
Stu Burguiere
And so it's to the point now. And I. I'm fascinated. Type of stuff.
Pat Gray
Where do they maintain it or do they do anything with it? They just let it go.
Stu Burguiere
There was a cup. There was a talk at the very beginning. What do we do? Do we rebuild? And they eventually got to the point where, like, nope, it's just. It's going to be white elephant.
Pat Gray
It's really interesting.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. So you go drive by it on the highway and there's just a giant roller coaster that just kind of starts going down the drop and then just the track stops and it just drops off. There's nothing. There's like Ferris wheels with carts at the top just missing. Right. Just at some point fell off. You know, all the.
Pat Gray
It's all just. So track has actually broken off.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
Or did they just not finish it?
Stu Burguiere
No, it was done. It was. It had been open, I believe.
Pat Gray
Wow.
Stu Burguiere
And it was totally done. And it was going to be open the next weekend. That's what they were planning. And then they just never went back. So there's been some people who have broken in and taken real footage of the inside. Fascinating to look at. There's a documentary made on and stuff. It's. It's one of those things I like. I'll go this afternoon.
Pat Gray
I'm watching that documentary. That is fascinating, too. Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Okay.
Pat Gray
I'm going to be down that rabbit hole for sure.
Stu Burguiere
We do have a couple of those same weird, like, really tall buildings. Like, there's a couple things Pat and I will have 45 minute conversations about, like, do you see the skyscraper they're building in Saudi Arabia? It's that's a. So I didn't know this was one of yours.
Pat Gray
Yes, it is.
Stu Burguiere
There's a. The abandoned photography. Like I have a buy books on it. I think it's fascinating these. These you know, modern things that get abandoned and just decay. So I was fascinated to go see this and so I went out to that and drove by which it was as. As expected. You can't see that much from the highway. But it is really, really interesting to look at. And so I went down to the next exit and turned around. Pat, if I were to describe to you like an apocalyptic scene from a movie.
Pat Gray
I'm looking at some of the photos now.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, it's incredible to see that.
Pat Gray
Really something. Geez.
Stu Burguiere
And. But that one I knew about. I had seen the insides. You know. It is really, really incredible. The next exit I turned around. Pat. I've never seen anything like it. It had looked like no one had been there in 15 years off of an exit off a major highway, really. And it is coat on both sides of the off ramp. You know, the little turnaround when you just come back to go the other way. Both sides of it just stacked up. Tires all over the place, sofas, you know, it looked like there was stuff here and it just all wash to this area and they just never bothered to pick it up. I've never seen anything like it in.
Pat Gray
The United States of America.
Stu Burguiere
It felt like I was in some war torn land. I mean, I mean seriously, it was the most bizarre thing. I'm just driving through this and I was like it was creepy. It was 10 out of 10 creepy, 10 out of 10 creepy. And I'm just like, I'm driving through this like the, the. The streets just had stuff all over them like as if there hadn't been a car that had driven off of this exit.
Pat Gray
How do you let that happen? How do you let that happen? It was really.
Stu Burguiere
It's depressing and like they. A lot of this city, they kind and parts of it are great and you know, of course the downtown, they did a great job. The super bowl is, you know that downtown area is tough to beat from a central party area. Obviously like it. Yeah, you know it's got its positives but it is, you realize, you know, it's completely devastated. So there's not like a lot of new hotels. There's not a lot of stuff down there. So the tickets for the game wound up going down partially because the tickets for tickets, the rooms in these hotels were so expensive that people were looking at them like hey, I Want to go down the Super Bowl? Oh, I can't get a room anywhere in the city for even a mildly normal price for a hotel. Like, even. Even with the expanded typical super bowl prices, they were through the roof. And so it was a weird. It was a weird, you know, city. We were kind of. We stayed out. We stayed 10, 15 minutes out of the city, which made it a lot easier. But it was. It was a. It's a strange environment, and I've never seen security like it. I.
Pat Gray
Well, they just had terrorism there.
Stu Burguiere
They had a terrorist attack, and there was a. There's a guy who went to the game, pretty famous. Donald Trump. So between those two things.
Pat Gray
That's true. Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
In the city. Holy crap, man. It was serious. They took it seriously and they did a great job with the security.
Pat Gray
He's welcome was pretty impressive, really, was it not?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I mean, it was very positive.
Pat Gray
Wildly cheered and Taylor Swift gets wildly booed.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
Did it feel that way in the stadium?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, sort of. The Trump thing did feel that way. Very. He got on screen initially, immediate, really strong applause. A little bit. You could hear a little bit of negative after the positive, like, in the stadium. It wasn't overwhelming. I would say it was. It felt like a, you know, 70, 30, 80, 20 type of thing that was positive. The Taylor Swift thing felt, I think, totally different in the stadium than it did to people that I've seen reaction on.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Where everyone's like, oh, she got booed. I know Trump was kind of going after her for getting booed and played the punch back in the stadium. It felt very good natured, really. I've heard Philadelphia Eagles fans boo stuff before, usually their own coach, so I've heard that. I've heard the visceral hatred of somebody that is not what it felt like. It felt kind of like. Like, look, she's an Eagles fan. She grew up outside of Philadelphia.
Pat Gray
She's probably gonna marry an Eagle or a Kansas City Chief.
Stu Burguiere
Gonna marry a chief. And she's now wearing a cheat. It was like, all right, you turncoat. We, you know, we know. It was sort of that sort of vibe. It was much more like, I didn't.
Pat Gray
Know she used to be an Eagles fan.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, she grew up in, I think, Reading, which is right outside of Philly. She was an Eagles fan her whole life. And then, you know, she's dating Travis Kelce, so she's wearing the Chiefs thing again. I, you know, would any. Would I do that for love? No, but I understand that some would. And so it was honestly it felt kind of good natured, like we're gonna boo her. And then like she also played it off, I thought, very well. Like she kind of made this sort of side eye or like, are you, you talking about me? Like, it was like, it honestly felt playful. The audience. It did not seem like this visceral hatred moment.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And again, I think it was one of those things where eagles are like, look, we, we boost Santa Claus. We're certainly booing you. It was that type of thing is what it felt like. But it was overall, you know, she, I, she played it off actually I thought pretty well. And it was, you know, it was.
Pat Gray
Just a fun moment.
Stu Burguiere
I thought it was fun.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
But you know, it comes off, you know, you just hear a bunch of boos. You don't necessarily want that.
Pat Gray
Triple 8727 Beck. More coming up in a minute.
Stu Burguiere
All right, let me ask you something. If you want to fix the problem of school shootings in this country, which I think we all do, let me give you this. This has been Glenn's idea for a while. What if you could give teachers and administrators in every office and classroom in a school a weapon that wouldn't kill anyone? Wouldn't, you know, God forbid there's some incident where somebody misses. It's not going to hit a student bystander and kill them, but it would ensure the attacker was incapacitated instantly. The Burden launcher is a solution here. It's a non lethal alternative to safeguarding your home and maybe your school. It's legal in all 50 states with no permits or background checks required and can be used by all age groups over 18. The burner launcher has powerful deterrents like the tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60 foot range and one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. With a burner launcher, you can be confident that you're prepared to defend yourself against potential threats. They're trusted by over 500 government agencies, police departments, security firms around the country because they really work and they're really, they're great. I can also say practicing with them is really fun too. So you'll really like your burner. The situation calls for action but not for lethal violence. The burner launcher is what you need to have by yourself. Side visit burna.com glenn b y r n a.com glenn get 10% off your purchase right now it's burna.com glenn 10 seconds. Station ID documentary is closed for storm by the way.
Pat Gray
Oh, I'm looking at the sign right now that says that once said closed for storm.
Stu Burguiere
Closed for storm. That's what the sign said at that amusement park.
Pat Gray
In fact, right now it says closed our orm.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
Because most of the sign is broken off, including the entire front of it that you must have once said Six Flags New Orleans or whatever.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, it's. It's, it's creepy.
Pat Gray
It is interesting. Man, I can't wait to watch it.
Stu Burguiere
It's so fascinating that you like this. We have the weirdest say the same interest when it comes to that stuff. There's a. And again, you got to be careful the way you type this on Reddit. But there's. I think it's called abandoned porn. Like, in other words, you know how.
Pat Gray
Like where things that have been abandoned.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. It's not, it's not actual porn that's been abandoned. It's kind of like a funny way of saying, like the stuff you really want to see if you like this type of photography.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
So type carefully if you're interested in that. But there's a Reddit, there's a subreddit called Abandoned Porn. I believe that's the name of it. And it's fascinating.
Pat Gray
I can see where that might be dangerous.
Stu Burguiere
Don't want to miss. You don't want to miss a couple.
Pat Gray
Kids around just in case.
Stu Burguiere
Be careful. Be careful. And not safe for work or whatever.
Pat Gray
The.
Stu Burguiere
You don't want that. But this one, it's. And it's the people who go into abandoned malls and abandoned, like schools and these cities that have just. And they take all the footage inside. I think find that stuff just to be fascinating for some reason. I don't know what it is.
Pat Gray
I know, Me too.
Stu Burguiere
Or like, you know, you have one of those. Like, there's a natural disaster and it means that a brand new housing development has to be abandoned. And then you go back like 15 years later and it's like this perfectly like, you know, it's like a movie set that's just. They just left.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And it's. I find it to be really, really interesting.
Pat Gray
I bet we see some of that stuff in Los Angeles now.
Stu Burguiere
Because, gosh, that's terrible.
Pat Gray
Think about so much of that has been destroyed and, you know, are we gonna fix it all? I don't know.
Stu Burguiere
I. I don't know. I mean, you think the Palisades, like, there's so much of land value there that it's going to be hard. I would stop people from rebuilding.
Pat Gray
I was just looking at. I don't know. I get this stuff on my YouTube feed. Because I accidentally. I click on things that are like, I see this amazing house that was $83 million. Well, one of them was in Pacific Palisades. And it's absolutely beautiful because they. They show that before and it completely burned down. Burned to the ground. 83 million dollar home. I don't know how you ever replace that. That's. I mean, obviously you have some money in the first place, but, man, that. That is just heartbreaking for all the people who lost their homes and their livelihood and the businesses and everything that just went away. It's just gone now.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
Really sad.
Stu Burguiere
It's obviously easy to focus on those big houses, but it's also, obviously, they do have resources. That doesn't make it any easier.
Pat Gray
No, it doesn't.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, you see these people who are like, oh, gosh, they're rich. Well, yeah, they're rich, but their families were raised in these homes. And anytime you lose something like that, it's emotionally devastating as well.
Pat Gray
For sure.
Stu Burguiere
But of course, tons of people who were, you know, who had family homes in that area long before it was impossibly expensive to get into them.
Pat Gray
Right. And that's a lot.
Glenn Beck
Yes.
Pat Gray
A lot of those properties were hit.
Stu Burguiere
That way and, you know, did not like. It's not their fault, Gavin. Some of them, I guess it is because they voted for him, but it's not their fault. Gavin Newsom is terrible.
Pat Gray
Right, right.
Stu Burguiere
It's not their fault that, you know, the, you know, Karen Bass is incompetent, you know, but some of them built.
Pat Gray
Their homes, you know, in 1970 for $25,000, and now it's worth 3.5 million. And you can't afford. You couldn't afford to live there had you not bought it in 1970. There's a lot of those families. Right.
Stu Burguiere
And, you know, who knows if the insurance is covering all that. Probably not.
Pat Gray
Almost for sure not.
Stu Burguiere
And some of them, of course, lost their insurance as well. So it's. And you realize, like, in the, you know, Pacific Palisades, they're probably just going to build it up. They're probably going to be nicer houses. Probably a lot of those people who live there are going to wind up selling, and it's not going to be great, but it'll probably be rejuvenated as a community eventually. New. There's just chunks in New Orleans where.
Pat Gray
They just gave up still from Katrina.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. They're just like, okay, nothing here. Nothing will ever come back here.
Pat Gray
We're not even gonna clean it hard multiple times.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, man.
Pat Gray
I mean between Katrina and then the horrible terrorist attack on New Year's Eve and I mean it's just been pounded. So.
Stu Burguiere
Wow. The secure I, I've never seen and maybe they were there. I never noticed it. But like going into the super bowl, all of the security being done by Secret Service.
Pat Gray
Wow.
Stu Burguiere
I didn't know he had this many Secret Service, honestly. Yeah, it was intense. It was intense.
Pat Gray
Triple eight seven two seven Beck. More coming up. This is Glenn Beck.
Stu Burguiere
So what I want you to hear about what one listener had to say about their experience with Simplisafe. Because I had Simply Safe.

Pat Gray
Steve Dase, Jason Whitlock and me, Pat Gray. Listen to all your favorite conservative voices@blazetv.com promo code. Glenn, welcome. It's Patton. Stew for Glenn today. He'll be back tomorrow morning. Triple Eight 727 Beck been talking about Stu's super bowl experience. It doesn't compare to my weekend. I actually, actually went to the George W. Bush Presidential Museum and Library. Yeah, really, What a spectacular outing that was.
Stu Burguiere
I mean I, I have thought it's here locally in Dallas.
Pat Gray
Yeah, we've been here for 13 years.
Stu Burguiere
Now and I've never been there.
Pat Gray
I've never been. I'm going this weekend.
Stu Burguiere
I bet there's some pretty cool stuff there.
Pat Gray
There is some, yes. And the 911 exhibit, of course, is.
Stu Burguiere
Gotta be really fascinating.
Pat Gray
Solomon. It fascinating and brings back memories. But on the whole, it's probably not the most exciting adventure I've ever been on. But it was good. It was good. Was it worth, I don't know, $26?
Stu Burguiere
Borderline on 26.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
That's not great.
Pat Gray
I mean, we went to a really great presidential library in Springfield, Illinois. It's Abraham Lincoln's presidential library or a museum. And it's both. They're all both pretty much.
Stu Burguiere
Much.
Pat Gray
That one's worth the 15 bucks. It's less expensive and more impressive, so that one was awesome.
Stu Burguiere
Wait, it was. Which library?
Pat Gray
Abraham Lincoln.
Stu Burguiere
So you're saying the Abraham Lincoln library was more impressive?
Pat Gray
Better technology than the George W. Bush. And it was finished before. I think they finished Lincoln's in 2005. They finished W's in 2013. So it's kind of weird, but the technology is. Is way better.
Stu Burguiere
No offense to George W. Bush.
Pat Gray
No.
Stu Burguiere
But did have a little bit more to work with with a Lincoln presidency. I feel like a little more.
Pat Gray
Yeah, he had a longer period of time. He had a more modern period of time. You would think the technology would be.
Stu Burguiere
Better, but I mean, technology I would expect to be better. But as far as, like, stuff to highlight at a presidential museum, I feel like Lincoln might have the edge on that one.
Pat Gray
Think that too. But I don't know. One of them was more consequential than the other.
Stu Burguiere
Perhaps you notice that.
Pat Gray
Yeah. Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And then you get that from the museums. Like, did you not know that until.
Pat Gray
Didn't know that until I went to the museum. So, yeah, it was a big surprise to me.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. I don't know, the presidential library itself, like, as an idea, like, doesn't, you know they're going to have incredible, like, historical stuff.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
But, like, it doesn't seem like number one on my visitation list. I got. Also, you're. I don't feel like you're getting a fair picture.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Do you get a. Did you get a fair, like, hey, you know what? George W. Really blew the spending stuff. Did that. Was that covered?
Pat Gray
No, it was not. No, no, it was all positive. No, I mean, it was neutral. It was all pretty neutral. I thought they didn't really make him out to be super fabulous. And they talked about other presidents and didn't disparage them in any way, which I think you would expect from George W. Bush.
Stu Burguiere
Yep.
Pat Gray
People think he was super, super partisan. He was not. He was not. And his library isn't either. So I found that kind of interesting and a little bit refreshing. I mean, I didn't mind that they talked about in a neutral way all the presidents who preceded him.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. You want that at some level. Again, we all can form our own opinion. This is actually pat, our generalized request of the media, which is just talk about the stuff that's neutral and discuss, describe what's going on.
Pat Gray
And then I'll try to decide.
Stu Burguiere
And then we'll decide. Yeah. I believe someone once said, we report, you decide. I believe was a slogan for Fox News at one point. Kind of what I want out of the media.
Pat Gray
Media, definitely.
Stu Burguiere
Tell me what's going on. Tell me what's been. What's the, what's the real story? Just generally, you don't need to, you don't need to put in your little, like, you know, stuff about what you think or what your intern really thinks. Needs to be in the article about dei or just give me the facts.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And then I will just, just determine how I feel about it. How about that?
Pat Gray
What a concept.
Stu Burguiere
It's a crazy approach.
Pat Gray
Crazy. That's like nuts. I mean, we have. See, I think this is the one I'm thinking of on my list of videos here. CNN on Trump's first three weeks. It's cut to. We are three weeks into the second Trump presidency. Three weeks. And tonight there are warnings that the US Is dangerously close to a constitutional crisis. Pause it for a second. Okay. That's what we're talking about. All right, let me decide how close we are to a constitutional crisis and for what reason we're close to it.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, yeah.
Pat Gray
Even if she's telling us at the.
Stu Burguiere
Top, at the top, we're dangerously close.
Pat Gray
We're dangerously close to a constitutional crisis.
Stu Burguiere
Like, you could instead describe what's going on. And then if you have maybe an expert that comes in and says, you know, I think we're actually dangerous. Dangerously close to a constitutional crisis. Okay. Like, maybe that's perspective I could get. Maybe you give me the opposite side. Someone who's not freaking out as if the world is on fire, but you could present that view as part of a news story. Story.
Pat Gray
You could, you could.
Stu Burguiere
I don't think it would be the, the best decision. You probably have a kind of a person who's a little bit over panicked about things. If you're bringing that person in. But, like, if you got somebody who thinks it's okay, maybe, maybe. But the fact that the anchor is starting with this.
Pat Gray
Yeah. Tastes it. It's tainted from the top.
Stu Burguiere
From the top.
Pat Gray
So, yeah, I don't even want to hear the rest because you've already tainted it now. Uh, so, yeah, that's a problem. And, and I found it fascinating that they didn't do that at his library. You know, it's a place where these former presidents raise hundreds of millions of dollars for these museums. And so you probably want it to be as positive about your legacy as you possibly can get it. Right. You would think. Anyway, you're paying 200 and, well, you're raising $250 million and it's going into building this library. You want it to be, I don't know, kind of a monument to what you did for your eight years or four years. So it was, I thought it was, I thought it was fascinating that they, they really didn't, they didn't, they didn't taint it like the news does, like CNN does. And here, here. On the other hand, though, was CNN talking about yesterday, we played the CBS talking about the ratings for, for Donald Trump so far in his presidency, which are really pretty good. He's got a 53% approval rating, which is the highest he's ever had either term. And he has 70% of Americans who are now saying that he's doing what he said he was going to do. If you got 70% of American citizens saying you're, you're, you're doing what you said you were going to do, that's pretty amazing because that's not just Republicans. That's Republicans and Democrats. Now, that doesn't mean Democrats are necessarily happy with you doing what you said you were going to do, but at least they're acknowledging. Yeah, he's, he's doing what he said he was going to do.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. Like it or not.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And he's being very decisive, obviously, and has done a lot in a very short period of time. Obviously, the big reconciliation bill is something that's coming up, and it's going to be a huge part of his, of whatever this term's legacy is. If he can, if he can pull that off in a, in a really positive way, he's going to have to work with Congress on that one. I know they're, they're already starting to work on it. So that's coming up around the corner. I mean, he's got a lot to do. He's Got a lot to unwind. A lot of damage has been done.
Pat Gray
He does.
Stu Burguiere
You know, it's. Yeah, he's coming off one of the worst presidents ever.
Pat Gray
And that's why I don't mind so much the fact that he's done a lot of executive orders. That's not the preferable way to maybe do these things because they can be undone the second the next guy comes in.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, yeah. And most of his work has been in that. Basically undoing almost all of it. Yeah, it's something like 70% of these executive orders have just been unwinding things that Biden had done that damage to.
Pat Gray
The country had to be done. Now, hopefully he'll follow up with legislative efforts and we'll codify it in law. That would be great. But so far the results are phenomenal, in my opinion. You can't even. I had a guy, a friend at church ask me how we're keeping up. How do you. How do you keep up with what's going on? It's happening so fast and really, you don't.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, that's basically the real answer.
Pat Gray
You don't.
Stu Burguiere
You don't.
Pat Gray
You gotta pick and choose.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
What you can keep up with and what you can talk about. Because there's just too much. He's done 300 executive orders or something so far.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, that's a lot. A lot. And first of all, like, it's a strategically. A very smart approach because you just don't have that much time. You don't have that much time. I mean, right now, his overall approval rating for an average Real clear politics, using that as just a baseline, 48.8%, that is 45% disapprove. If we don't know what's gonna happen.
Pat Gray
He'S above water on that. Then 48.9%.
Stu Burguiere
And that's very rare, by the way, for Donald Trump. It did not happen at all during his first term. And generally speaking, he's. His best numbers are from Trafalgar and Rasmussen, which is kind of where you expect to see it, but CBS News has him at 53% too. It's not just right leaning pollsters, if you will. The Economist has him at 48, his worst number here. Reuters has about 45. But still, 45 would be a very good number for his first term. If you're President Trump and you're thinking about this strategically, you don't know what's going to happen, happen. I'm sure Trump in his head is saying, I'm going to be so great that my, my approval rating is going to go through the roof and this will be the best thing ever. And I'm sure that's, it's something that he's a power of positive thinking guy. That being said, you have to strategically plan for what is more likely, which is once we get past the afterglow of the election. And a lot of these things that he did at the beginning were positive, were very popular. Yeah, right. He's going to run out of that stuff. He's going to start coming up with, with policy positions that are more partisan. It's easy to say, hey, we shouldn't judge people by their skin color. Like, 80% of people believe that. Even Democrats, a lot of Democrats believe that you shouldn't be doing that. This DEI stuff is kind of nonsense. Right. When you poll it, that stuff is popular. And it's easy to be able to go in there and do that sort of thing. When you get into more divisive stuff, you're gonna wind up probably losing some of those moderates and probably losing some of those people who are Democrats who kind of like what Trump does generally. Unless the economy takes off and everything else, you never know. So what you should expect, you should plan for, plan for the worst, hope for the best, plan for the worst, is to think, I got two years. I got two years max. You'll probably lose Congress again. Just historically, you'll probably lose Congress in 2026. If he's able to hold onto it.
Pat Gray
It'Ll be historic because it usually does happen.
Stu Burguiere
It's happened basically every single time. I remember the aftermath or 2002 being one where that was kind of turned around after 9, 11. Bush did better than expected in 2002. There's been a few times you've seen some of these, we did better than expected versions of this. Like, for example, when Joe Biden lost the House, also could have lost the Senate. They probably did do slightly better than projections in that 2022 election. But, like, you still lost the House, you still lost your ability to pass things without Republicans. And you don't want to be in that position if you're Donald Trump and it's.
Pat Gray
You're not going to get any Democrats to participate, Right? None.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, you know, again, you'll get an occasional Fetterman vote, you'll get an occasional here and there, but you're not going to get a lot.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
So you have to plan as if this is it. You've got about a year, you got two years and patience that when you have A one seat majority in the House.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
You don't even have two years because you're going to get these purple district moderates that are going to bail on your proposals in that second year. So if you think about it realistically, you got about a year.
Pat Gray
Yeah. And he's acting like that.
Stu Burguiere
And he's acting like it and he's smart to act that way.
Pat Gray
Yeah. Triple eight, seven two seven Beck more coming up. Well, I guess we'll give you a minute to let all that sink in. More Glenn Beck coming up.
Glenn Beck
This month and every month, we remember the over 66 million babies whose lives have been senselessly sacrificed on the altar of abortion. Surely the left doesn't understand the repercussions of a land that takes the blood of the innocent. And that should only motivate us more to save more babies and their moms. Preborn is a network of clinics and they fight every day to save more babies and more moms. To date They've rescued over 300,000 babies lives by introducing a mom to her child on an ultrasound. That baby's chance at life doubles preborn showers moms and babies with God's love and assistance for up to two years. So when they shout abortion, we shout life. Let's save more babies this year than last. One ultrasound is just $28 and only $140 will help rescue five babies. All of the gifts are tax deductible, so donate securely. Dial pound250 say the keyword baby. That's pound250 keyword baby or go to preborn.com beck preborn.com Beck Sponsored by Preborn.
Pat Gray
It's Pat and stew for Glenn today. You know we're talking about the stu super bowl experience. What I wanted to ask you about too was not just the game but what about the half, what was the feel in the stadium for the halftime show? Because is it just me or was that one of the worst of all time?
Stu Burguiere
I, I, well first of all, I don't know anything about Kendrick Lamar.
Pat Gray
I don't either.
Stu Burguiere
I don't know any of us. One of his songs kind of.
Pat Gray
Oh you did?
Stu Burguiere
I think I heard the course.
Pat Gray
I had no idea. I thought, huh, has anybody ever heard any of these And I guess have.
Stu Burguiere
Like billions of streams, right? Yeah, I think they miss with artists like that because they're like there's not a, you know. Of course the average person going to the super bowl is basically like me some like almost, almost 50 year old guy who's just, you know, I don't know who works for a living. And, you know, I don't know, like, goes and loves sports. Right, Right. There's not a. You know, I don't know, like, we're.
Pat Gray
Not the target demo for the NFL bar. We're just not.
Stu Burguiere
And we might be. I disagree. I think we're the ones spending the money on the NFL.
Pat Gray
I know, but they act like they don't care what they've gone both ways we think of it.
Stu Burguiere
You know, I think, like, look, Kendrick Lamar is one of the biggest acts in the world. Right. Like, and he's. I get it.
Pat Gray
I guess he's huge.
Stu Burguiere
But like, I always feel like the actual sweet spot for a, for a Super Bowl, I think was 2002. U2.
Pat Gray
U2.
Stu Burguiere
Because now YouTube today would not be the right act.
Pat Gray
No. Right.
Stu Burguiere
In 1989, U2 would have not been right there. But 2002, they were still one of the biggest bands in the world. Still releasing stuff that was really relevant.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And had a long catalog. They all like. I remember we went to one that was also the who and that felt like the opposite direction. Like they were 20, 20 years past that.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
You know, if you'd done it 20 years earlier, it would have worked. This was like, you know, Kendrick Lamar is like really appealing to 25 year olds and, you know, and he's been around for a while, so it's not like he's super young, but it just doesn't feel like it connects with certainly the people in the audience. That being said, it is not a made for stadium show. It is a made for TV show. So, like, for example, me, I was on the opposite side and what I saw was the back of a bunch of dancers for a few minutes. It looks, it's terrible in the stadium. Everyone's like, oh, what's it like? It's awful.
Pat Gray
But no doubt you were digging the music. Right. The tunes were just setting you on.
Stu Burguiere
Fire, I will tell you that. I took the opportunity to go to the, the food stand and the bathroom totally clear, which is great. Most people in the stadium, it's the best part.
Pat Gray
Oh, that's nice.
Stu Burguiere
I didn't, I, I, I would have preferred to hear not and see basically none of it. My son did want to see it for a little bit. And that tells you a little bit, I suppose, about it. Like, he knows a couple of the songs.
Pat Gray
Was he 13?
Stu Burguiere
I would not allow him to listen to most of them. So I don't know how he. But he's 13. Yeah.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
So that, that's another great, that's really.
Pat Gray
Cool that you now take Zach.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, it's the Eagles games. I'm like, if the Eagles make the super bowl, you can go with me. And that was a deal I made back in 2017.
Pat Gray
We went to see and he remembered.
Stu Burguiere
And he remembered and I thought it would be like once every 50 years, which now apparently they're going every couple years, which I am happy to deal.
Pat Gray
With with this team. They actually, they could, they could, they might be back.
Stu Burguiere
It's a great, great roster.
Pat Gray
They were this, this last weekend. All right, More coming up. This is Glenn Beck.

Donald Trump
Down the road where shadows hide down the dark on every side Stand your.
Stu Burguiere
Ground when times get down Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
Pat Gray
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Yes, it is with Pat and Stu today. Glenn will be back tomorrow morning. Triple eight seven two seven. Beck. Much more to get to and we'll do that in 60 seconds.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. Glenn should be back tomorrow. He's currently violently ill after watching the Philadelphia Eagles destroy the Kansas City Chiefs. So we'll see. I mean, it's interesting. Will he be back tomorrow? I don't know. He does have a company called realestateagency trust.com they're at work today. As far as I know, they're, they're getting things done for people around the country. Now we know that we have all sorts of issues. When you're buying or selling your home, it can be really difficult. In fact, it's so difficult, it's the reason why this company exists, because Glenn went through that process himself, had to deal with real estate agents that just didn't, didn't, you know, didn't work. And, you know, look, we know that Glenn might be terrible at predicting super bowl outcomes, but he was way out ahead of these real estate problems over a decade ago when he started realestate agency. Trust.com it's a service they don't charge you for. It's free to you, so why not take advantage of it? Someone really experienced can help you walk through this entire process. And if they have someone in your area, and they probably do, you're going to love working with them. It's realestateagencytrust.com the name kind of says it all. Real estate agentsitrust.com Check it out now. Realestate agentsitrust.com and they're of course celebrating the victory of the Philadelphia Eagles in the super bowl this, this week.
Pat Gray
Now, you know that for a fact. Really?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. A big company promotion they got going on right now. When you get on with real estate agents, I trust.com just say, I'm so excited that the Philadelphia Eagles won the super bowl and they'll give you 50% off their zero dollar cost.
Pat Gray
See this, this is what I was talking about. The most obnoxious person on the face of the planet right now.
Stu Burguiere
You think this is bad, wait till Glenn's here. This is going to be great. I'm very, very excited. And I know there's other things going on in the world that are more important. I don't, I can't think of any off the top of my head, but they probably are.
Pat Gray
Well, the left thinks it's a big deal that Donald Trump seemed to say that J.D. vance is not going to be his successor. That's kind of interesting. Brett Baer interviewed Donald Trump for the super bowl. And here's a little section of that.
Donald Trump
Do you View Vice President J.D.
Stu Burguiere
Vance as your successor, the Republican nominee in 2028.
Donald Trump
No, but he's very capable. I mean, I don't wait what it, you know, I think you have a lot of very capable people. So far. I think he's doing a fantastic job. It's too early. We're just starting.
Stu Burguiere
But by the time you get to.
Donald Trump
The midterms, he's going to be looking for an endorsement.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Donald Trump
A lot of people have said that this has been the greatest opening almost three weeks in the history of the president.
Stu Burguiere
That's been the fastest and the most stuff.
Donald Trump
Well, I've done so much so fast and we really had to because they have really what they've done to our country is so sad. It's so sad. Said we're going to be bigger, better and stronger than ever before.
Stu Burguiere
Now, the Special Report anchor and executive.
Pat Gray
The big headline there, of course, is that he said no, the J.D. vance, he doesn't look at him as his successor. Now, could it be the reason is that Donald Trump Jr. Might be running in 2028?
Stu Burguiere
It's interesting.
Pat Gray
I, that's what I think it is. I, I think he's already, you know, he's got an endorsement that's already already set aside for somebody else. I think that's the issue.
Stu Burguiere
So let's give three, three, three possibilities here. I think that's a really interesting one. Donald Trump Jr. He's already knows that him, he's going to run and he's, he's his pick, obviously.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
If he winds up running in some serious way. So that's number one. Number two, you could make the argument. I think this is more of an argument for a traditional politician than Donald Trump. But like to look at the say and say, I've got a lot of allies. A lot of people are probably going to run 2020.
Pat Gray
Right. I need to see what the field is like.
Stu Burguiere
I can't make that decision right now. Like, let's, let's let this play out. You know, he's, he's got, you know, people that are allies, people who worked really hard for him that might run. I'm not going to make that call right now. If you remember, you know, even like Obama was, was not really involved in an endorsement type of thing. He wasn't like.
Pat Gray
No, Joe asked him not to. Do you remember that? Joe asked him.
Stu Burguiere
Do you remember Joe saying that not.
Pat Gray
To endorse him because that would be an unfair advantage. Right. You know, so he didn't want that.
Stu Burguiere
You know, Joe, if Joe Biden's about anything, it' Merit. He just doesn't want to mess with that process at all. He wouldn't want. He wouldn't want an endorsement from a very popular president in his party? No, he wouldn't want that. That would be awful. So he didn't, he didn't get it. In fact, he was actually talked out of running by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton wind up getting the nomination. You see how well that turned out. Let me give you a third possibility while we're just throwing stuff out there.
Pat Gray
All right, What.
Stu Burguiere
And I, I mean this sincerely. I know other. This is, I really do think this is something which is what if Donald Trump sees the successor of Donald Trump in 2028 being Donald Trump, period. No.
Pat Gray
Donald Trump Senior.
Stu Burguiere
Donald Trump senior.
Pat Gray
Yeah, I felt that one coming on.
Stu Burguiere
He's totally floating this for a reason, boys and girls, because he is. He wants to have another term. He wants to have a third term. And again, there's a constitutional limitation to this process. There is already a bill, by the way, being floated around that would give him the opportunity to run for a third term, which would need to be through a constitutional amendment. It was cleverly designed so that it would prevent Barack Obama running for a third term. Because it was.
Pat Gray
Because you can't, you can't run two consecutive terms.
Stu Burguiere
You can.
Pat Gray
Or a third consecutive.
Stu Burguiere
You can only run a third consecutive term if you had a separation between your first and second term.
Pat Gray
Okay.
Stu Burguiere
So if you.
Pat Gray
He's okay.
Stu Burguiere
He's floated it out there multiple times in front of these audiences. I think he sees it as a, an anti market situation. If the market wants me, they should be able to have me for another term. And I think as we get.
Pat Gray
There's something called the Constitution.
Stu Burguiere
Right.
Pat Gray
He'd have to amend that. You gotta amend the Constitution. That's almost impossible.
Stu Burguiere
Now, I will say I will not be surprised if some legal. You wait. Some legal mind in the constitutional sphere who is attempting to curry favor with a Mr. Donald Trump comes up with a little theory that actually, no, it's not prevented. Do not be surprised to see this argument pop up. You've seen it before with Trump, of course. You've seen it a million times on the left. We all know how this works. Actually, the Equal Rights Amendment already passed, actually. Oh, really? Did it? Did it? We just didn't notice. All this time, Joe Biden, Biden actually came out with that right before Trump took over. Everyone was ignoring what Biden was doing at that point, but he just came out and said, by the way, I consider that already passed. And There is, there is a legal theory that has been bubbling a long time on the left that this is true. It's not, it's nonsense. But I will not be surprised at all if, if in the back of Donald Trump's head is either one of our philosophies. Right. It's either Donald Trump senior, Senior, who is the next guy, or if that fails, Donald Trump Jr. Is the next guy. So that is, I think it's possible. It is also possible that he's just saying, Look, I think J.D. vance is great, but he's got to win the nomination. And I'm not going to get involved in that right now. He's three weeks into his presidency. There's no. Most presidents, I think, wouldn't answer that. A resounding yes. I think you could say, look, he'd be one of the candidates. We don't even know who's running yet.
Pat Gray
It'd be really easy though, to just say, it's way too early for, for that.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
You know, it's way too early. I'm three weeks.
Stu Burguiere
Just not. Yeah.
Pat Gray
Just not answering.
Stu Burguiere
He's not.
Pat Gray
Rather than say no, just say, it's way too early for that.
Stu Burguiere
Right. Totally fair and I think not controversial. It's, I also would say kind of a weird question at this point. Presidency. It is knock on bear. I think it's an interesting one. Obviously newsworthy, but it is, it's a. Three weeks into the. Why is he. Because answering that question in any, in any way really indicates you're almost a lame duck.
Pat Gray
It's almost a no win situation.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, it's, you're kind of like a lame duck. You're like, okay, well now all I'm here for is to endorse the next guy.
Pat Gray
Right.
Stu Burguiere
I don't think he's ready for that yet. He's three weeks into his presidency. Right.
Pat Gray
He's not.
Stu Burguiere
So I do think that there is a, a reason why you wouldn't be like, well, of course he is. I love him. He's the best guy ever. You might think he's the best guy ever, but what do you get out of that? If you're Donald, he's pretty good.
Pat Gray
I really like J.D. vance.
Stu Burguiere
I was talking to somebody over the week just like, gosh, I was watching J.D. vance get off a plane with his family. He's got a beautiful wife, he's a good looking guy. They're getting off, his kids are bundled up wearing pajama pants under their coats. And he's so good on tv. He's so good at beating the left. It's just this all American family. If the first term of Donald Trump goes really well and he doesn't have another Trump to run against, it's hard to see anybody like, you know, you might say, like, Rhonda Stanton's got a great record and I think totally deserves to be the nominee of the Republican Party at some point with what he's done. And I said that a million times. But, like, it's gonna be tough to beat Vance if this is a popular Republican presidency in that world, because now if Donald Trump has a rough go of it, something terrible happens and, you know, we get a big economic downturn and their approval rating is 30. Well, it's not. Might not be that hard. It might be a different story. But Vance is going to be formidable, really, no matter what goes on, because he's just really good at this.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
You know, he does not have a problem with the left. He does not have a problem with the media. He disassembles them every single time. He gets in front of them every time. Yeah.
Pat Gray
Yeah. He's really good. He really is, Vivek. I mean, you think Ramaswamy's got a shot in 28?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, yeah. I mean, he's.
Pat Gray
Look, maybe he's a good speaker.
Stu Burguiere
Him getting. Becoming governor of Ohio or senator from Ohio or something of that nature will probably help. It's, by the way, also the Buttigieg approach. It looks like on the left, it's tough to go from mayor of South Bend to the presidency. It might even be more difficult to go from the Department of Transportation to the presidency. You need to have some role that shows some sort of performance. I mean, look, Buttigieg was a catastrophe when it came to the Secretary of Transportation. He was horrible.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
But they really want him. You could tell the left there's a contingency in the left that really wants him to be president. They want to have the first gay president. They want the first LGBTQIA two plus president. They want that on their little record. He's kind of the only thing they have going that way. Way. And I. They want to roll him out because of that. That sort of, like, technocratic left really loves him.
Pat Gray
That.
Stu Burguiere
That version of the left loves him. Now, I don't think the AOC left loves him. I think they're bored by him. But I think the. I think there's that tech that Obama left loves Buttigieg for some reason. I don't really get it.
Pat Gray
Identity politics. I think that's identity politics.
Stu Burguiere
And there's a way of his approach. It's like that calm sort of like, you know, intellectual sort of. I use, you know, words to describe my bad policies. Like that sort of approach is loved by that. That technocratic left. And so I, I think they want to make. It's that old thing of you want to make fetch happen. Like they want to make Buttigieg happen. They want it to be a thing so badly. And I don't think there's a lot of passion on the, on the. The day to day Democrat for Buttigieg. Like, I don't think they're inspired by him. I don't think.
Pat Gray
I don't know why they would be.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, he's really built boring and dull and he's.
Pat Gray
He doesn't have any accomplishments to his record. He couldn't even fill the potholes in South Bend, Indiana, apparently.
Stu Burguiere
And by the way, the evidence we have from that is the Biden campaign.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Pointed it out.
Pat Gray
Right.
Stu Burguiere
Saying this guy couldn't even run South Bend correctly. How's he going to run America correctly?
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Say, and then they put him in it for Department of Transportation, which to me was really more of just like, like a way of derailing his political career. How many, Pat, name them. Have come from the Department of Transportation to the presidency? 1, 2, 3, 00.
Pat Gray
None. Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
None.
Pat Gray
None.
Stu Burguiere
It doesn't happen because it's a job that couldn't. Couldn't present a presidential candidate. It's not possible to go from that job. It's just not a. It's not a. And this is.
Pat Gray
There are certain cabinet positions that aren't sexy enough to go from there to the president.
Stu Burguiere
You know, only downside, right?
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
When planes start crashing into each other, people say, oh my God, let's get the Secretary of Transportation. Then you're up there saying, holy crap, all this bad stuff happened. I don't know. We're gonna do it. And he was terrible in those moments.
Pat Gray
Oh my gosh. When he wasn't on maternity leave, train derailments. Did he not show up to. Jeez, it was pathetic.
Stu Burguiere
And like, you know, Sean Duffy's dealing with this now, right. Like, they've had three. Another one over the weekend. Another. Another plane incident over the weekend. Weekend where planes are crashing into each other. People like, again, is that John Duffy's been in the job for like six hours. It's not his fault. But that's how you're gonna be known. And if this stuff keeps happening, you have these situations. It's impossible. There's Only downside to it for your political career, which I think has been true with Buttigieg. He's been terrible.
Pat Gray
He really has.
Stu Burguiere
He has no accomplishments. He's failed at everything he's done in political office. He, he's been awful. And he is. Identity politics. Plus, that sort of like appeal to that certain sect of the Democrats who, they just really like that stuff. They really. And they get, they love the guy who's gonna come out and be very calm and say all these big words and talk down to everybody and how smart he is and how dumb you are. And you're supposed to like that. And some people do on the left, but I don't think even a high enough percentage on the left like it. That's the problem.
Pat Gray
No, I think that might be true. 888-727-back, more coming up in one minute.

Pat Gray
So the FBI just discovered 2400 records tied to President Kennedy's assassination that were never provided to a board tasked with reviewing or disclosing the document. Documents. The still secret records are contained in 14, 000 pages of documents the FBI found in a review that was triggered by President Trump's executive order on the 23rd of January, demanding the release of all JFK assassination records. So apparently the FBI is taking this seriously and they're actually looking into it and they found 14, 000 more pages that we didn't even know about. Completely secret.
Stu Burguiere
Very strange. What is that?
Pat Gray
A little bit suspicious, I would say.
Stu Burguiere
Very suspicious.
Pat Gray
Huh. Look at this. 14, 000 more pages that were just in a drawer. Who knew?
Stu Burguiere
It seems unlikely. It, it does seem like, hey, wait a minute, they're going to release the stuff we need to. I mean, that's what the conspiracy minded would go immediately to.
Pat Gray
They just created these.
Stu Burguiere
Well, I didn't even go to that point. I was thinking to myself, like, these are things they've had the whole time and show something that they've never disclosed. And this is the reason we never disclosed it, because they were lost. That's what, that's what.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
You know, again, I don't necessarily believe that. I think there's a chance that maybe this is true, maybe the story is true. I would like to, I guess I would like to have more evidence on it either way.
Pat Gray
But it, I just want to see the documents. Yeah. I just want, once and for all, let's just get this out, all right? Let's just lance this boil and move on past the JFK situation.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. Because even if it was the worst of suspicions, I don't know at this.
Pat Gray
Point, I mean, what do you do about it?
Stu Burguiere
What do you do? I mean, it would be, I guess maybe it would give us a little bit more suspicion of some of these institutions, but I don't think it would necessarily make the country collapse. Like, I think we all are somewhat comfortable with the idea that something, something a little bit out of the outside of the official story happened. And I keep coming back to this in my head, Pat. The official story was crafted essentially by Arlen Spector. And that makes me not believe it. Just because of that. Arlen Specter, the former President Arlen Spector.
Pat Gray
The man who wrote the book about what it was like to be the Senate bathhouse. The man love to be in the bath house when John Thune showed up.
Stu Burguiere
He did love that.
Pat Gray
Now Senate Majority Leader, but the man would show up completely naked.
Stu Burguiere
Yes. This is in his book.
Pat Gray
He had the body of a Greek God and he'd show up and we'd make tender love for the next 14 or 15 hours or so.
Stu Burguiere
That's almost in the book. It's very close to.
Pat Gray
Very close. And, and paraphrasing there a little bit, one second section of it Did I.
Stu Burguiere
Bring up Arlen Specter specifically just to hear Pat's impression of Arlen Spector? Yes, yes, I did. He's been dead for many years, but. Yes, that is why I brought up.
Pat Gray
I know it's been a decade.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
At least it's been a while. It's been a while. And he was. He really was behind that. That and it's the. Like, it's the most. He wants evidence of the conspiracy theories that Arlen Specter said the opposite. I. I don't know.
Pat Gray
Just.
Stu Burguiere
I don't believe anything Arlen Spector ever said, that's for sure.
Pat Gray
Sure. Except. Except I didn't leave the Republican part of the. The Republican Party left me. You believe that, right?
Stu Burguiere
Well, I believe that. And I believe Jon TH has great abs. That I believe, too.
Pat Gray
I believe he has the body of a Greek God. I've never seen him naked as a jaybird, but.
Stu Burguiere
But you're. You're willing to check it out. I can see it in your eyes.
Pat Gray
Why not? Yeah, whatever. I mean, he's a darn handsome man.
Stu Burguiere
What a weird thing to put in your book as a senator.
Pat Gray
It's just so bizarre.
Stu Burguiere
Like, why is there a Senate bathhouse? I don't. Why do we learn?
Pat Gray
Are we in Turkey or something? I don't know. I mean, I'm used to Turkish bath houses, but not. Are you.
Stu Burguiere
How used to it are you. How often do you get there?
Pat Gray
Quite a bit. Three, four times a week. Limited membership.
Stu Burguiere
I just feel like your description of naked male senators, it gets the cutting room floor.
Pat Gray
Naked as a jaybird, look like a Greek garbage. John TH Senate Majority Leader.
Stu Burguiere
Is this how he got to be Senate Majority Leader? Cuz I don't really understand very well. Maybe otherwise.
Pat Gray
Yeah, I don't either, but don't either. So many better choices.
Stu Burguiere
I don't really get it, but maybe it's just the abs the whole time.
Pat Gray

As the mainstream media perpetuates the left's insanity, we're helping you fight back one truth at a time. More Glenn Beck next.
Pat Gray
Glenn's back tomorrow morning. It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today. Triple eight seven two seven, Beck. Let's go to Kevin in Idaho. Hey, Kevin, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.
Caller
Hey, Pat and Stew. I'm about to head over a little patch here. I might lose you for a second, but it won't be long, maybe five seconds.
Stu Burguiere
We'll just wait in silence. Don't worry. Okay, you're good. Go ahead.
Caller
All right. I was wondering if you guys would be willing to have an issue pressed on you guys, something y'all are talking about. Earlier, y'all had a little back and forth the third term presidency of Trump Jr. I want to, I want to force the issue on you guys because you guys were talking a lot about kind of how you think it might go down or might not go down.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Caller
But I would really like to know is, would you actually support if, if you.
Stu Burguiere
And then we lose. Actually, he really knows his cell phone coverage map really well.
Pat Gray
You did break up just when you thought you were going to. All right. Would we what?
Caller
Yeah. Would you want it? Would you be in support of it? And what reservations if it went through, what reservations would you have?
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Caller
Other than the Constitution. Because if they amended the Constitution, that's obviously not an issue because it's not against the Constitution. It's an amendment.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Caller
So what reservations would anyone reasonably have to a third term Trump presidency? And if I may, I would, I would have my own reservations, but I want to get y'all thoughts on that.
Stu Burguiere
I would like to hear your reservations as well. I will tell you my reservations. I am 100% no on a third term for Donald Trump or anyone else. I don't think it's a good idea. I think the Constitution is right on this. It's a good idea to limit the executive power.
Pat Gray
The reason we have, we have the constitutional amendment, which was fdr. We wanted to prevent a guy who basically became a dictator for 12 years. And, you know, you might be saying, well, they had a chance to vote for somebody else. And that's. That's true.
Stu Burguiere
That's true. But I don't think, though, what we see from the American people over and over again, they don't see this in Congress. They don't do it. It won't be.
Pat Gray
That's why people have been in office for 40 years.
Stu Burguiere
Right. And that's why, by the way, I also would support constitutional amendments to limit the congressional terms.
Pat Gray
I think 12 is plenty of time. Two terms in the Senate and six terms in Congress.
Stu Burguiere
12 years. Another person who supported congressional term limits was Donald Trump.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And I think he was right on that. I think his point is like, hey, if I'm limited, you should be limited, too. But I do think he's gonna be interested in this, and I understand why. And if you think he's a great president, you might very well be open to that possibility. I think, though, the Constitution is correct on this issue issue. And that's where I said, what are you thinking, Kevin? What are your hesitations? Do you agree with any of that?
Caller
Well, yeah, I agree with most of that in general. Obviously, if it's amendment to the Constitution, then it's not a constitutional issue in theory. However, to the person who would support a third Trump presidency, what I would say to them is the reservation that I would have, and the issue I see with that is that it's basically admitting defeat in the entire, entire Republican Party. If Trump himself cannot trust anyone else in his team.
Pat Gray
Right.
Caller
All to take forward the moniker, what Trump himself is doing. That spells bad news for America, really, because it kind of indicates that there's no other hope other than Trump. And if he doesn't work out and it's just kind of toast, it shows a real lack of confidence in his team and the people around him.
Pat Gray
And the other thing is he's going to be 82 years old by 2020, and.
Stu Burguiere
And he's got tons of energy.
Pat Gray
I had a problem with Biden at that age.
Stu Burguiere
It wasn't just the number, just to be clear.
Pat Gray
Yes, that is true. However, the chances increase exponentially when you're at that age, you know, because then you're talking about 86 by the time your term ends. It's just. No, I'm. I'm ready for somebody else at that point.
Stu Burguiere
It's a plethora of reasons. And, you know, Kevin mentioned a couple times there like, it's not a constitutional amendment if you amend the Constitution, which is true, technically. But of course, when you look something that's a constitutional issue, you have to determine whether you think the Constitution is right or wrong on that issue. Right. Like, do you think, you know, is it right or wrong on the Second Amendment? You know, I think it's right. So I wouldn't want to amend that. Do I think, you know, there's a, there's a bunch of other stuff that I would like as constitutional amendments that we can come up with a fantasy league on if we want. But like, I think if the Constitution is wrong on something, you do want to amend it. I don't think the Constitution is wrong on this.
Pat Gray
No, I don't.
Stu Burguiere
I think the amendment was correct to limit that power. I think it's a smart thing to do for the country. But also what Kevin said, I think is real. If you like Donald Trump, that's one thing. If you like Trumpism, it's another thing. If you believe America first or MAGA or Trumpism or whatever you want to call it is the right approach for the country. It can't be limited to one guy. You can't play hero ball if you're, if you're an NBA fan, you've seen this a hundred times. You get some guy who's on a hot streak and they're just dribbling around and, and if, if all you can do is, you know, maybe a good example of this, Pat, would be Patrick Mahomes. If you, if what your approach is, is Patrick Mahomes has to make incredible play after incredible play after, incredible play after. He's almost, I mean, he did this, he ran around and avoided 12 more sacks in that game. He's incredible. But if all you're doing is depending on Patrick Mahomes to make every play for your team, it's really hard to win a Super bowl.
Pat Gray
You're to lose 40 to 22.
Stu Burguiere
You're going to lose 40 to 22 specifically.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And actually should have been 40 to 6. But that's a whole nother story.
Pat Gray
Right, Right.
Stu Burguiere
My point here is that you can't just, it can't be Donald Trump, Trump hero ball. It's gotta be a movement if you believe in the policies behind it. And that's why J.D. vance, I think, was a really good pick for Donald Trump because he, I think in his mind, and you know, we talked about the clip earlier where he didn't say yes to this, but I think he did pick him with his legacy in mind. And maybe, maybe there's another thing here, maybe a third term for Donald Trump is something in his mind. Maybe Donald Trump Jr's in his mind, but also JD Vince is a person who can bring forward Trump as in a way that Donald Trump doesn't really do it. And when Donald Trump's not around, he can push those policies forward.
Pat Gray
Another problem for me would be amending the Constitution because Democrats are already saying he's trying to become a dictator. They're already saying that he wants a third term. They're already saying that we're not going to have another election while he's around. This would tear the country apart trying to amend the Constitution specifically for Donald Trump. And that's what you'd be doing, especially if you've re rewritten the law or the amendment to reflect the fact that you can't do three consecutive terms, but you can do only do three terms if they're not consecutive on your first.
Stu Burguiere
Two or whatever, but you can't be consecutive on your second.
Pat Gray
It's clear what you're trying to do there. And that'd just tear us apart. And I, I, I don't, I don't know that we need that.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, I, I do, I, there's part of me that thinks the Democrats would be fine with no term limits on this. I mean, they were. Fdr, I mean, it was him eventually said, wow, this isn't working. And even they came on the side of wanting term limits for the President. I do think that, look, you're gonna see a lot of things that you like out of Donald Trump. It has to be deeper than that. He is not immortal. He is not a God. And if you sit here and depend on him to be in office forever, you will eventually be disappointed. That I can promise.
Pat Gray
Even if there's other good people, there's.
Stu Burguiere
Gotta be or it's not a movement, it's just a guy, you know, like, Donald Trump's an impressive person. He's accomplished a lot in his life, whether you like him or not. He's done a lot. He's been able to do a lot of things. He's been able to accomplish a lot of things. He's been able to be incredibly famous for 45 years. Like that's really just, that is impressive. All that being said, he's going to die someday. I mean, he almost got shot in front of our eyes. The left wants to take him out. We know, you know, Act Blue donors seem to have a particular interest in ending it quickly. So you gotta build this beyond one guy. It's not a knock on Donald Trump. It's not disloyal to Donald Trump. I know a lot of people care about that crap. I don't care about loyalty to a politician, whoever he is. You could be loyal to him or not. But even if you are concerned about it, it's. It's like, at the end of the day, this man is not immortal. You have to find a way past him. And if you sit here and say, oh, I want term after term after term, eventually that's going to run out. It ran out with fdr and it's going to run out on Donald Trump, too. That's one enemy he can't beat. And you got to think beyond it. And you have to have something built to be able to take his message forward. If you believe in it, it. Because if you don't have that set up, if you're not comfortable with that, then it's not the message that you're supporting. And I think a lot of people in the United States voted for policies that Donald. That wasn't just voting for Donald Trump because of his last name. It was voting because they really liked his policies and they really liked the direction he was taking the country. And if that's true, you have to be able to understand that a movement is not one man.
Pat Gray
Let's go to Tom in Kentucky. He. Hey, Tom, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Patents, too.
Stu Burguiere
Hey, I was just looking at this. The, the amendment we're talking about is the 22nd amendment, and it was only proposed in 1947 and it was ratified in 1951. So it's not like we're dealing with the Founding Fathers here or anything like that.
Pat Gray
Right.
Stu Burguiere
And generally speaking, I don't think it's a bad idea. But by the same token, and we can vote for anybody we want to, except if he's already been the president twice. That is what the amendment basically says. Yeah. So again, there obviously was an argument in the 40s about this. The argument in the 40s, what came to everyone's mind, Republicans and Democrats, because of what they just saw, they saw that this was not a good idea. And it was widely agreed upon at the time. Now, it's been a long time since we've dealt with that. So people like this happened. There's an example of this in New York. It happened with Bloomberg. Bloomberg got through two terms. They were like, well, but we want more Bloomberg. Now, again, this is New York, so you have to be skeptical of their brain power in some ways. Love you, New York. I was born there, but New York City, not Making. They're about to put Andrew Cuomo in his mayor. So I think we can be critical of their voting habits. But they were like, well, we want more Bloomberg. So they're like, well, what if we just amend the Constitution to have more Bloomberg. Bloomberg. And that's what they did. They did, you know, this happened in Russia. They wanted more Putin.
Pat Gray
And now they have, now they have more Putin, like, permanently, forever. And like, and if you say anything against Putin, you're going to fall out a window from, like, the ninth story.
Stu Burguiere
And that's not what's going to happen here. But it is.
Pat Gray
The point is that's what that can lead to eventually.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Stu Burguiere
But the point is, yeah, you make the rules of the game and then you keep those rules. Changing the rules to benefit one, one person, like, this is not us. Good. It's not usually, it's not a very American thing to do. It's not something we've done very often.
Pat Gray
Alan, in Idaho, we didn't even do.
Stu Burguiere
It for George Washington.
Pat Gray
Welcome. Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Good morning, gentlemen.
Pat Gray
Hey.
Stu Burguiere
On the same, same deal as, hey.
Glenn Beck
We'Ve talked about it before, you know.
Stu Burguiere
We'Ll amend the Constitution. That way we can serve a third term. But what happens when the other side does this?
Glenn Beck
I mean, this during the Obama term.
Stu Burguiere
You think Obama would have got a third term? Yeah, he would have. Yeah, unquestionably. That would not have been good.
Pat Gray
Yeah, that's a good point. Thanks, Alan. Yeah. It works both ways, by the way.
Stu Burguiere
If you, if you did this, he now, again, they wrote it so Obama could not run. But if you just said, hey, we need to do third terms, which is the only way it would pass. Right.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
You could theoretically, maybe get some Democrats on board for it.
Pat Gray
Otherwise, writing it for one man, you're not going to amend the Constitution for one person.
Stu Burguiere
And you'll never get enough on both sides to do it. This is why it's a silly. I think.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
But I mean, I honestly think the, the more likely situation is they come up with a way to legally challenge it and see if they can get it through the courts. Again, this is sort of silly because, you know, I don't think they would even admit to wanting to do this right now. But you have seen Donald Trump. They keep like, Donald Trump jokes about a third term. Dude, how long, how long have you guys known Donald Trump? This is not, he doesn't, he's like, oh, maybe I could stay in office for four more years. That's not a joke joke. That is a. He's floating these things out. And you may love him, he may be the best president in the world. Right. Like he's done a lot of good things. We've spent nonstop time talking about all of the good things he's done since he's been hit.
Pat Gray
We mentioned at the beginning of the show we can't keep up with it.
Stu Burguiere
It's not a criticism of Donald Trump or like the he, if this was his first term, would he deserve another? That's not what we're talking about here. Yeah, you're talking about amending the Constitution to allow that. And, and I do believe what we will see is a popular on the right, a swell of support for it. I mean we're seeing it in some of the colors here, some of them. I think that as this Overton window is moved, you will see people start talking about this more and more. I'm just trying to be honest with you. I do think that's coming. I don't think it's a good idea though. And I hope, I think the you have to. This is what I believe. I'm not gonna change it because Donald Trump is the one suggesting it or one of people is suggesting it. I do think that it is a, it's a good rule. It's good to have good rules. Sometimes you need to have good rules. There's good rules in sports and sometimes they're frustrating to your team. But you know what, like they're there for a reason. They're there for a reason.

Patton Stu for Glenu returns tomorrow. Triple 8, 7, 2, 7. Beck CK Wow. Did you see what happened to John Larson? Representative John Larson. I'm not sure we have. I'm gonna have to wait a few minutes, but he. It looks like. It looks like in the middle of a speech, he has a stroke. Now, I think they're saying it's something else, but they always do. So I. I don't know what the truth is here, but John Larson is. Well, let's. Let's play a little bit of it.
Donald Trump
Don't worry. No one on the Republican side in the House and Senate, who control both the House and Senate, is going to speak up.
Pat Gray
Oh, boy.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, man.
Pat Gray
And challenge us. Oh, wow. Wow.
Stu Burguiere
This is bad.
Pat Gray
Yeah, it's disturbing. Oh, that's. Is this common?
Stu Burguiere
Why is this. It's. I only see it with politicians.
Pat Gray
I. Yeah. I don't know. All right, we got it. He's. It's really hard to watch. That's. It's hard to see, and you don't want that to happen to anybody. They're calling it, I think, an adverse reaction to medication. I hope it's that.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
But, you know, with Mitch McConnell, it was. He was dehydrated, and this is an adverse reaction to medication. Okay. So you start freezing up when you're dehydrated multiple times. You fall downstairs multiple times. You're in a wheelchair. Got to be lifted into an SUV when you leave the Senate. Yikes. This is Glenn Beck.

Your ground when times get dark Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire.
Pat Gray
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.
Stu Burguiere
With.
Pat Gray
Pat and Stew today. Glenn will be back tomorrow morning. Triple eight, 727 Beck. The Democrats continue, continue to make a lot of noise about what's happening with doge unelected officials.
Stu Burguiere
Unprecedented. This is unbelievable.
Pat Gray
We'll get into what Representative Rosa DeLauro. Remember Rosa, right.
Stu Burguiere
Oh my gosh.
Pat Gray
In Connecticut.
Stu Burguiere
I do remember how to get her.
Pat Gray
She has been in office since 1990, so that's 35 years. But she's just a spry 81 years old. So she's still doing a terrific job.
Stu Burguiere
She's New Haven. New Haven area. Yeah. Connecticut. I lived near New Haven at that time and I was into eighth grade, eighth grade.
Pat Gray
So she's been when she was elected, since you've been in eighth grade grade.
Stu Burguiere
Or ninth grade, depending. Yeah, somewhere in there.
Pat Gray
Oh, that's, that's, that is crazy.
Stu Burguiere
That's pretty amazing.
Pat Gray
And she, I will say looks, oh, terrific.
Stu Burguiere
Fantastic.
Pat Gray
She looks like really not a day over 93.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. And a lot of people ask, did she get her hair colored? No, that's natural.
Pat Gray
No, right?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
Yeah, that's natural. There's no hair color whatsoever involved here. We'll share what she had to say and much more coming up in one minute.
Stu Burguiere
Let me tell you first about pre born. It is sad to recognize that the abortion pill has become really the pro abortion left's response to the overturning of Rover vs. Wade. Shockingly, they want to get around court decisions when they don't like them. Accounts for over 60% of abortions now in the United States. Thank God. There's a miraculous abortion reversal pill available I never knew about.
Pat Gray
Did you know about this, Pat, or no, just recently.
Stu Burguiere
Reversal pill. I'd never heard of it.
Pat Gray
Never heard of it until recently.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. Fascinating. As long as a woman takes it within a certain amount of time after taking the abortion pill, it can make a big difference. The Ministry of Preborn is leading the charge with that, working to save as many babies lives as they can. We're so proud to be partnering with Preborn every day. They sponsor free ultrasounds for women as well as providing the abortion reversal pill in cases where it's possible. So hey, you know, support reborn. They're just a great organization, Pat. I know you've been talking about them for a while as well. These people are fantastic, doing incredible work. They're saving 200 babies a day with help from people like you. So donate if you can. £250 is where you go on your phone. And of course, use the keyword baby. It's £250. The keyword is baby. Or you can donate securely online@preborn.com beck preborn.com Beck. It is sponsored by preborn, as you might expect.
Pat Gray
I would expect.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
That's it.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Most people. Most people would.
Pat Gray
Interesting. So Representative Rosa DeLauro, she's been doing just incredible work in the U.S. congress for 35 years now. So she's been elected 17 times. That's the hell is the matter with you in New Haven, Connecticut?
Stu Burguiere
This is why.
Pat Gray
Stop it.
Stu Burguiere
That's why you need turbo. People just get on autopilot. They don't even know. They don't even know who she is anymore. It's just. Oh, I know that name. There's your problem in the box. That's bad. Yep.
Pat Gray
Because you don't. You don't even look into anybody else. Well, I know that name. Well, yeah. You've known that name for 35 freaking years. Years. She's been your representative all that time. Really? You want to give her another term? Stop it.
Stu Burguiere
And what does she stop, Honestly? What's she known for? As I look up at the video we're about to potentially play, I see the purple hair.
Pat Gray
She's known for purple hair.
Stu Burguiere
Now, we just noted natural. It's natural purple. That's. She's just a natural purple head. That's just who she is.
Pat Gray
Right.
Stu Burguiere
But that's all she's known for. She's not. She's a.
Pat Gray
Well, she's known for stupidity as well as purple hair.
Stu Burguiere
It's true. But mostly just being a complete non. Entity.
Pat Gray
Yeah, that's. That's. That is true. How many times have we spoken of Rosa DeLauro in the last 35 years since we left Connecticut anyway? Not that many times.
Stu Burguiere
Not that many times.
Pat Gray
Not that many. I think this is the first time.
Stu Burguiere
We knew of her because she was the representative of the area where we lived.
Pat Gray
Yes.
Stu Burguiere
Right.
Pat Gray
And she was very, very bad then.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. Was she.
Pat Gray
Couldn't stand her then?
Stu Burguiere
Was she the mayor of New Haven? Am I remembering that correctly?
Pat Gray
Oh, that might be.
Stu Burguiere
That might be. Yeah, that might be right. I could be wrong on. So apologies to her illustrious career if I am. But I think that's where she was at one point back when you were hosting a show with Glenn in that city. And she was a joke then. Yes, she was bad then. And Connecticut has what they've done and what they do is, has rewarded her with multiple decades of paying her a six figure salary to do a terrible job.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And that is just wrong.
Pat Gray
It's unacceptable is what it is.
Stu Burguiere
It is.
Pat Gray
But here's what she has to say about Doge and what Doge is doing.
Stu Burguiere
The other piece of that is the outrage of the American public. And when, when you think about there is the legal issue, but you have to think about what the, you know, what are the repercussions to American families. You take education, you're, you're looking at denying people of school lunches. You are taking the opportunity for a college education. If you cut Pell Grants, you cut student financial aid. There are a whole range of.
Pat Gray
Pause it for a sec. Student financial aid. Nobody has to pay back their, their loans from their student loans anymore. What do you mean? Well, they do now, but they didn't for a while. Nobody has a student loan anymore because Biden wiped them all out. These people. All right, let's hear the rest.
Stu Burguiere
What these services do for the American public. That's the word that has to get out. When you cut education.
Pat Gray
How much socialism can we get?
Stu Burguiere
Title 1. 72,000 teachers nationwide are gone. Your kids may be in a classroom that doesn't have a teacher. Special education for developmentally challenged kids. What happens to those kids? But again, it's US Aid, it's education. It's not usa, Medicaid. And it is about the effect of what happens.
Pat Gray
I can't take it anymore. It's not even USA and I, I, it should be. I don't even want to pronounce it that way anymore because it's important to note it's usaid, which stands for Agency of International Development.
Stu Burguiere
Right.
Pat Gray
It's got nothing to do with 72,000 teachers in America. It might have 72,000 teachers in Uganda. I, I don't know. Maybe we fund 72,000 teachers there I, through USAID. But they are funding.
Stu Burguiere
Probably not. I feel like their programs don't do any good. So probably not even teachers in Uganda.
Pat Gray
Who they're trying to make it out though. As if children are going to die because this program has been at least suspended for a while. At least looked into.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
And now that's going to kill children all over the, the world. And, and now Rosa Delor are trying to make it about Teachers and students in America. I mean, same.
Stu Burguiere
These are the tactics we've been seeing forever. She's a good representative of that argument because it's. His argument's been around for as long as she's making in Congress, which is forever.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
You know, it really is sort of like if you're falling for this crap at this point, I don't know what we even do to convince you.
Pat Gray
You know, isn't it nice, though, that. That if you're falling for this kind of crap, you're. You've sort of fallen out of power and you can't do anything about it right now.
Stu Burguiere
For the moment.
Pat Gray
For the moment.
Stu Burguiere
For the moment. And let's savor that moment.
Pat Gray
Fantastic.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
I love it. I really do love it.
Stu Burguiere
I do love it. I do love it. And Rosa DeLauro is, you know, a good example of. Of just this sort of old way of thinking.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And I don't. I don't know that. I don't know that that works anymore. Do you think it works? I mean, it definitely does on some people. Right. I mean, it was still a relatively close election. We've got a one seat majority basically in the House because of some of the appointments Trump has made. So it's still close, right? It's still a close country. It's shocking that that sort of argument would work on anybody at this point. The scare tactics of we're not going to have a teacher. I mean, you're going to have teachers in your classrooms. They might suck, frankly, but you're probably going to have somebody that. But if you open this up, if you got rid of all public education completely, you'd still have teachers in your classrooms. In fact, the only time we didn't have teachers in classrooms was when the Democrats told them that they were gonna stay home and not go to school and they were gonna close all the schools. That's when you didn't have teachers in classrooms. That's about it. The market would absolutely be able to solve that problem if you would allow it to.
Pat Gray
What about children in Chad who don't have faces? Will we be able to.
Stu Burguiere
They don't have faces.
Pat Gray
Yeah. We're buying children in. Chad.
Stu Burguiere
Chad, you're buying. You should not be buying mouths. Oh, they're buying them.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Okay. You're buying them.
Pat Gray
You're getting them face parts so that they can now have a face which they didn't have before.
Stu Burguiere
Can I play the Doge committee here for a second?
Pat Gray
Sure.
Stu Burguiere
How did they get no faces in?
Pat Gray
And I think it's the water and the air in Chad.
Stu Burguiere
Water and the air in Chad are.
Pat Gray
So bad that the kids, about 98% percent of them are born without a face.
Stu Burguiere
Without a face. So we have to buy them eyeballs.
Pat Gray
Eyeballs, noses. Don't forget their. You look a little street look like Voldemort without a nose. And then you need a mouth and I think ears as well.
Stu Burguiere
Can I follow up?
Pat Gray
Yeah, sure. So you go ahead.
Stu Burguiere
Have you done an environmental study to. To tie the water to.
Pat Gray
No, I just know that that's a problem. Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Okay.
Pat Gray
Yeah. And then felt it.
Stu Burguiere
And. And I'm going to ask and answer a question real quick.
Pat Gray
Okay.
Stu Burguiere
Which is, where are you getting all these eyeballs? Oh, your best friend. Oh, your best friend knows a company that makes eyeballs. Oh, wow. That's a surprise. Did it get right?
Pat Gray
Did I get it right? Right?
Stu Burguiere
Wow.
Pat Gray
How did you know that?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I know. It's just.
Pat Gray
He makes eyeballs.
Stu Burguiere
Noses and mouths. Yeah, yeah. That's how. I don't know how I knew it.
Pat Gray
They're really. They're a little bit rubbery, I guess, on the lips, but.
Stu Burguiere
But wouldn't happen to be one of your donors, would it? I just, Just out. I just kind of curiosity. But yes, it does, of course. Nothing to do with it whatsoever, but shockingly, I got that right, too.
Pat Gray
Yeah. Wow.
Stu Burguiere
That's the way the world works.
Pat Gray
It is.
Stu Burguiere
That is where we are.
Pat Gray
Just. It just is. And it's pathetic.
Stu Burguiere
Pathetic.
Pat Gray
And. And they don't want this looked into in any way because we're stopping their gravy tree right here. I mean, and this, this means a lot of money and a lot of power for a lot of people. And as Glenn has mentioned several times, these. The more of what USAID does than save children with without faces is, is regime change in third World nations. I mean, how many times, how many coups have they accomplished? How many times did they overthrow Ukraine? I mean, it's over and over and over. They're using their money and these funds. Funds for something other than taxpayers certainly intend these funds to go to. So.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. And if you could dig out the. The whatever percentage of that budget is worthwhile, maybe there is something in there. I don't know. I mean, there are. There are definitely some.
Pat Gray
I'm sure they've done some.
Stu Burguiere
I will say there are definitely programs in there that do help people.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Now, whether that's the responsibility of the United States or the appropriate use of taxpayer dollars is another question. But like, let's make. Let's Kind of come up with a tier process here. Let's say the A tier bat is money that we should be spending on something valuable. That's a. A tier.
Pat Gray
Okay.
Stu Burguiere
B tier is money maybe we shouldn't be spending. Maybe that shouldn't be our responsibility. But it's still doing a lot of good.
Pat Gray
Okay.
Stu Burguiere
Okay.
Pat Gray
Is this like what would fit into that category? For instance, like a Shakespearean.
Stu Burguiere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No.
Pat Gray
One legged.
Stu Burguiere
No, I'm sorry.
Pat Gray
Non binary nun. In Colombia there's a ton of non.
Stu Burguiere
Binary nuns these days. I've noticed a huge.
Pat Gray
So many. And that's why we funneled so much money.
Stu Burguiere
Right. So Pat, that would not fall. Okay.
Pat Gray
So that's not in category B.
Stu Burguiere
No. C tier.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Is money we shouldn't be spending because it's not really our responsibility on things that don't make any difference at all.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Maybe we could put your one legged nun C tier.
Pat Gray
Non B.
Stu Burguiere
Don't forget non binance.
Pat Gray
They are non binary.
Stu Burguiere
They are not.
Pat Gray
Not she, not she.
Stu Burguiere
They are non binary.
Pat Gray
Yes. Because our pronouns correct.
Stu Burguiere
I don't even know what. I can't. I'm sorry, Pat. I can't. I'm sorry. I can't even put that into the C category. Because I would say that probably actually does do damage. Most likely because the government that we're doing it under probably hates the policy. So they hate us. And it's probably calling and causing animosity in our foreign relations relations. Not to mention.
Pat Gray
Heard that that's going on.
Stu Burguiere
Not to mention the non binary thing. I don't think it's a positive calling people. Non binary. There's. You don't think there's women. So I would say something like, let's see.
Pat Gray
Going biblical on me now?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, yeah. I kind of am. So C tier. Let's say it like it's more like a, A, A normal Shakespeare. Like a Romeo and Juliet in the park.
Pat Gray
Okay. Okay.
Stu Burguiere
Like not doing any damage, you know? But like, why the heck are we paying for it?
Pat Gray
Okay.
Stu Burguiere
D tier would be your one legged nun.
Pat Gray
Okay.
Stu Burguiere
Because if you shouldn't. Non binary, none, non bison. I keep forgetting that part. One legged, non binary, discriminatory.
Pat Gray
I'm kind of ashamed of that right now.
Stu Burguiere
It's shocking.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
D tier would be that which is like, okay, okay, so we spend the money and it does a little bit of damage. And then the E or F tiers get into what the vast majority of the portfolio is, which we shouldn't be spending it. And it's doing real hardcore damage. Damage.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
It's not just a.
Pat Gray
We're using it to overthrow governments or it's going into somebody's bank account.
Stu Burguiere
Right. It's going in directly to corruption. There's a. We have a story today. I don't have it pulled up in front of me, but I believe the number is 27% of funding into. I believe it's the Department of Education's funding goes to DEI programs.
Pat Gray
27%.
Stu Burguiere
27%. That's bonkers. That, like. Because you think. You think. Okay, well, yeah, sure. Rand Paul gets up in front of everybody and pulls out five programs, and they all sound really crazy. And that's it.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Now, like a quarter of the budget.
Pat Gray
That's unreal.
Stu Burguiere
Is going to this. Let me get the exact thing for you here.
Pat Gray
And I mean, basically, that's what President Trump was talking about the other day, is how much of this stuff goes to absolute nonsense. And we just got to put a stop to it. We. We have to. 60% is. Is all they use for actual aid to any. Anybody. Or actual help or humanitarian efforts. It's like 60% of the budget. And even that is like. I mean, is it really valuable? It's like, is it in your A category? Is it in your B category? Or is it in your C category? We don't even know. Yeah, we don't even know.
Stu Burguiere
A lot of it is just blind.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
That maybe that's the E category, and then the F is the one that's really doing the damages. We're building this. This tier list on the fly. By the way, I was slight misspeak there. 27% of National Science foundation grants went to DEI projects. 0.29% of all grants with start dates in 2021 centered on DEI. By 2020 24, it was up to 27%. So from 0.29% to 27% during Biden. Tell me the guy didn't make a difference.
Pat Gray
Oh, my God.
Stu Burguiere
You can say he was a disaster. You could say he was asleep at the wheel. Yeah, the guy made a difference. The difference was negative.
Pat Gray
Right.
Stu Burguiere
But the difference was made.
Pat Gray
Right. More coming up in one minute.
Stu Burguiere
All right. Eddie wrote in about his relief factor experience. He says about a year or so ago, I was suffering with really awful back pain to the point that I dreaded even going out to the mailbox. This went on for months, and I was starting to lose hope. But once I started taking relief factor, within a week, the back pain was completely gone. There was no more pain. Thank you for everything. I'm one happy customer, says Eddie. Eddie, it's great to hear that sort of stuff. We get those stories all the time.

Pat Gray
Say, Stu. I'm a little disappointed. Disappointed?
Stu Burguiere
Okay.
Pat Gray
I thought you were a little more compassionate. Children. And Chad, born without faces, to put it.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, what did I put?
Pat Gray
Pretty much don't care.
Stu Burguiere
I guess I put him in A.
Pat Gray
Yeah, you put them in the. I think you put them in.
Stu Burguiere
I'd say B.
Pat Gray
Did you say B?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. It's money we shouldn't spend, but actually probably does some good. I feel like if you have no face at all and you have a great organization like your best friend's company that's making eyeballs.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And noses.
Pat Gray
It's a good cause.
Stu Burguiere
Right. Or it could fit into E or F. The corruption. Corruption one.
Pat Gray
Oh, wow.
Stu Burguiere
It could be that one. Because it could be that you are. You wouldn't be having to get a kickback from each sale of each eyeball. Right. That wouldn't happen to be something that's going on, would it?
Pat Gray
No.
Stu Burguiere
You don't have to be an investor in their company by any chance? No, no.
Pat Gray
I just. I've been saving up for that Ferrari that I just parked in the parking.
Stu Burguiere
Lot because it's very nice.
Pat Gray
Saving up for it for a long time.
Stu Burguiere
I did notice you have a bumper sticker with just a bunch of eyeballs on it. I thought that was weird.
Pat Gray
Especially on a Ferrari.
Stu Burguiere
Ferrari.
Pat Gray
I don't know. It seemed appropriate.
Stu Burguiere
It did seem appropriate. And it does seem like. Exactly. Now, you didn't happen to invest in this company, let's say two weeks before the funding went out.
Pat Gray
I think it was. No, I think it was like 17 days.
Stu Burguiere
Okay. Okay. Yeah. You Just decided one day you're like, you know what? That company looks promising.
Pat Gray
Huh? And it turned out to be a pretty good investment.
Stu Burguiere
It's up like 600% now.
Pat Gray
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's nice.
Stu Burguiere
The Nancy Pelosi plan.
Pat Gray
Not everybody has the feel I have for the market. You know what I mean?
Stu Burguiere
No, that's definitely true. You have that, you do have that Pelosi esque vibe. You just seem to nail every one of your stock picks.
Pat Gray
All of them. Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Really impressive.
Pat Gray
Well, except for bitcoin. That's about the. There's one that I did not nail. No. So others have. And good for them. That's great. Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Those people, they're, they're, they're not going.
Pat Gray
To get any eyeballs from me though. I'll tell you that right now. They can buy their own eyeballs. Not helping him on that.
Stu Burguiere
Because they. What?
Pat Gray
Because they already invested it.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
And made a lot of money. How much time do we have here, B.J. okay, because I want to play what Donald Trump had to say about the hostage situation. It is, it's changed again, thanks to Hamas. And here's what President Trump said about a cut.
Donald Trump
When I see that scene that I saw today with people coming out of helicopters and airplanes that are emaciated that look like they haven't had a meal in a month, no reason for that. And I don't know how much longer we can take it. I don't know how long we can take it. When I watch people that were healthy people a reasonably short number of years ago, and you look at them today, they look like they've aged 25 years, right? They, they literally look like the old pictures of Holocaust survivors. The same thing. I mean, the same thing. And I don't know how long we're going to take.
Pat Gray
He has, he has said that the hostages, all of them need to be returned by Saturday at noon or all hell breaks loose. And then so the next question was, what does that, that mean? And he said, they'll find out. And so will you on Saturday if they don't return the hostages. But this drips and drabs thing that they've been getting away with now for a month with Hamas, it's not right. And it needs to stop. We just need to have the hostages return.
Stu Burguiere
What is this?
Pat Gray
Come on.
Stu Burguiere
What is this game we're playing here?
Pat Gray
Bizarre.
Stu Burguiere
Give them back.
Pat Gray
Yeah, give them back now. And we're not giving you 200 criminals in return for them. But that's what's been going on. So far this is Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck

Stu Burguiere
Miss his show. Listen anytime, anywhere podcasts are found. Stick around more after the break. Sa.
Pat Gray
Great to have you with us. Triple eight seven two seven. Beck. Valentine's Day is on. What day is it? Sunday? Friday? Oh, no, it's Friday. Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Wow. I mean, I assume you know that from the reservations you've already booked, right? Right.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Yes. Okay.
Pat Gray
Yes. Yeah. That's why it was so busy when I booked it and I. We had to go in there some other time than I usually wanted to go in.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, really?
Pat Gray
Yeah. Yeah. And so. Yeah, but that's, that's all set. Because I think ahead. I'm not like the procrastinators who have put this off and now are just trying to scramble right now. But if you're one of those people who have put things off until now, gosh. Wonder if there's any kind of cookie order you could place. Oh, probably not to take advantage of a 10% off sale right now.
Stu Burguiere
I doubt it. Because.
Pat Gray
Or procrastinators in particular.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, really?
Pat Gray
Yes.
Stu Burguiere
I like that.
Pat Gray
I don't know, it looks like a foreign language. Like it's from Finland or something. Kexi. I don't know what that means really, but.
Stu Burguiere
K E K S I. Yeah.
Pat Gray
Yeah. Like kexi.com where you could go there and get 10% off cookies and, and save yourself. And. And then on orders over $100, we'll pick up the shipping tab. So I don't know about we. I don't know who I think I'm using we in the royal will sense there. But kexi.com for that. The president has been talking about tariffs lately, which I know you love. Stu, I know you're a big, big fan and advocate of tariffs.
Stu Burguiere
I'm not a big fan of.
Pat Gray
Wait, when did that happen?
Stu Burguiere
I know it's a shocking turn. I just had it over the weekend. Totally changed my mind.
Pat Gray
Did you have to, Based on the political wins extra at some kind of shop where the. They're selling eagles paraphernalia or something. And that pissed you off a little bit.
Stu Burguiere
Yes, I was understanding. I want my imported eagles material to be very cheap now. Yeah. As an economic policy. Not a fan of it. Don't think it works and don't think it's a good way to go. That being said, of course, I don't think that's usually how they work with the Trump administration. It's mostly just threats and negotiation. And so it certainly does work for that. That. And of course, there's limitations on that, but it certainly works. So far. Yeah, we've seen it. We've seen it in a couple of countries, not just Colombia and. But also, you know, Mexico, Canada.
Pat Gray
Brought them right to the table.
Stu Burguiere
Brings them to the table. Yeah, it does. It is.
Pat Gray
You know, it's been effective in that way so far. Now, will we come up with an arrangement where that's agreeable to both?
Stu Burguiere
It's happened.
Pat Gray
I hope so.
Stu Burguiere
And now, of course, the last time was the US Mexico case, Canada agreement, which negotiated, which eliminated all these tariffs.
Pat Gray
Right.
Stu Burguiere
And now, I mean, now, then they.
Pat Gray
Got placed back on American products during Biden. And so this, you know, they keep calling when we assess a tariff on a product from another nation, and then they respond. We're told that that's retaliation. Well, no, we're the ones who retaliated against what was being charged us. What he said the other day was, if you charge us, we're going to charge you. That seems fair. I mean, I don't like the plan, but I do love it as a negotiation tactic, and I think it's been pretty effective that way. But he's talking about placing tariffs, and I think this already went. Did it go into effect? The producers of steel, the tariffs on steel. Here he is talking about that cut 25.
Donald Trump
So the failed American trade policies have led our once incredible United States steel and aluminum into industries. Once incredible. It's once incredible now. But they're, they're not bad. I saved them because of my first term. Totally saved them. If I didn't do what I did, I put massive tariffs. Not the highest level, but pretty, pretty Massive tariffs we got. We took in a lot of money and we took in a lot of jobs. But we were being pummeled by both friend and foe alike. Our nation required require steel and aluminum to be made in America, not in foreign lands. We need to create in order to protect our country's future resurgence of US manufacturing and production, the likes of which has not been seen for many decades. It's time for our great industries to come back to America. Want to back to America. This is the first of many. And you know what I mean by that. We're going to be doing others on other subjects topics. Protecting our steel and aluminum industries is a must. And today I'm simplifying our tariffs and steel and aluminum so that everyone can understand exactly what it means. It's 25% without exceptions or exemptions. And that's all countries, no matter where it comes from. All countries if made in the United States. However, United States of America. There is no tariff is zero. So if it's made in the United States, there is no tariff. All you have to do is make it in the United States. We don't need it from another country. As an example, Canada. If we make it in the United States, we don't need it to be made in Canada. We'll have the jobs. That's why Canada should be our 51st state. We'll bring back industries and we'll bring back our jobs and we'll make America industry great again.
Pat Gray
Oh, man. So I think the end result of this, if he has to follow through and actually place the tariff on these products, there's going to be some pain involved, you know, and can we ride that out? Will be the question. Or will that hurt his presidency to a point where he can't recover from it? That's. That's the fear here. Because if you start a trade war and things get ugly for two years, that midterm election is not going to go our way. Correct?
Stu Burguiere
That is the risk.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, it's one of the risks of that policy. And I think that's something he's been very honest and forthright about that it's.
Pat Gray
Going to cause pain.
Stu Burguiere
And it is. You think about the best way to think about tariffs is it's not a policy that's good. What it is good to do is to help achieve another goal. If you can utilize it to get something else of higher value, eventually it can be beneficial or if it levels.
Pat Gray
The playing field to where American products aren't taxed by other countries to the point where Their people, their citizens can't buy them.
Stu Burguiere
But, like, that's still not a good outcome. Yeah, right. Like, it's not a positive, it's just more fair. It's like the how the left looks at, you know, income inequality. Like, well, what if we just take a bunch of money away from rich people and everyone's poor? Well, okay, I guess that's more fair. Fair. That's not necessarily a good policy for everybody. I think the issue with tariffs are you're saying, like, I, we're going to cause pain on ourselves and we're going to cause pain on you, on your, on the opponent. And we are saying we can survive that pain more successfully, we can withstand it more. We will be. We'll stand up to it, we'll deal with it until you cry out for revolution relief, and then we'll get rid of all this and we'll get whatever we want. Right. That's kind of like the approach of tariffs. And Trump has used it successfully as far as threats. Now, he's also like, you know, he put a 20% tariff on washing machines back when he was in his first term, and this is stunning to hear, but it made washing machines go up by about 20%.
Pat Gray
What a coincidence.
Stu Burguiere
It's shocking. That's a crazy development. Yeah.
Pat Gray
Really?
Stu Burguiere
I believe the actual number was 16.82% or something like that. And the reason was the imports went in and they came up about 20%. And then you'd think, well, wouldn't it be less than that 16%? Because there's a lot of. There still are domestically made products. Wouldn't that lower it? And it did. But what happened was the domestic companies were like, well, everyone else is going up by 20%. We can at least go up by like 10 or 12. So then they went up to just get a bunch of free money to them, which again, is great for that company, I suppose. But overall, it costs American consumers a bunch of cash. I mean, look, we're not idiots. It's a tax. That's what it is. It's a tax. And look, taxes are bad generally. However, when you need to fund defense, we're all like, okay, we can deal with taxes in that circumstance. That's what you're dealing with with tariffs.
Pat Gray
Interestingly too, Stu, it's interesting, interesting that you mention that particular aspect of a tax, because that's one of the things that the Constitution specifies you can tax for. Yes, the common defense.
Stu Burguiere
Defense. It's actual function of the government. Yeah, our government has gotten a little bit out of its gourd just a bit. What counts as a function, as a function of government?
Pat Gray
Just a bit.
Stu Burguiere
But I think, like, you know, when you see a tax come in, we all know that's not, you know, taxes don't help your economy, but they can do things if you believe they're leading to something positive. Most taxes don't. In this case, you might say, well, we want to maintain American manufacturing, We want to increase American manufacturing, therefore this tax is worth it. That's this calculation being made, and that's a calculation that all governments must make. It's just a matter of whether you think these are the right things or not.
Pat Gray
How about the just really mean attitude of Donald Trump that people should come in to their workplace, though.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, that's me.
Pat Gray
Aren't you pissed off about angry? I'm, I'm about to get into the streets with a sign. I'm that angry.
Stu Burguiere
We see what Glenn is out. He's out protesting it tonight.
Pat Gray
Right now. Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
He hates coming to work so much. He's taken the day off to avoid.
Pat Gray
He's a bad example because he really does.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, he does work remotely quite a bit. He does. But that is, you know, that's a good thing about owning a company.
Pat Gray
Yep.
Stu Burguiere
You know, you can do that. You get to do something. You know, these federal employees, they don't.
Pat Gray
Own the company gets it.
Stu Burguiere
They don't get to make those decisions.
Pat Gray
Here's what he said about nobody works from home.
Donald Trump
Many of those people, and we talk about reporting to work. I happen to be a believer that you have to go to work. I don't think you're home. I don't, I don't know. It's like there's a whole. You can work from home. Nobody's going to work from home. They're going to be going out, they're going to play tennis, they're going to play golf. They're going to do a lot of things. They're not working. It's a rare person that's going to work. You might work 10% of the time, maybe 20%. I don't think you're going to work a lot more than that. I think they have an obligation to work and they have an obligation not to have a second job when they're supposed to be working for the federal government. You're going to find that a lot of these people have second jobs. Instead of working for. They'll be collecting a federal government government check and they'll be working two jobs. And that's, that's Big trouble for them.
Stu Burguiere
There's a good chunk of the workforce that you can tell a lot about them, how they pulled that process off during COVID Like the lazy workforce just didn't work or worked like a few percent of the time just to get by. But the real entrepreneurs just got another job to fill the time that they weren't working for the real job. That's, that's when you, when you had that sort of inspiration, you're like, you know what, I'm just going to take another job. I'm going to work at 20, 20% and then I'll make double the money. That's the entrepreneurship our country is, was built on.
Pat Gray
It really is. It's fascinating to watch this process though, because those who are or who have been allowed for the last few years to work from home have become so entitled with that now that. How dare you now ask me to make that commute.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Pat Gray
What's incredible is that when all of this, you know, trophies, the participation trophy culture began, I thought, wow, wait till you join the real world. Wait until the time when you have to go out and get a real job and be actually held accountable for that job you're doing and have to go in nine to five every single day and actually work. You're going to be so shocked. Well, it didn't work out that way. What shocked me was instead businesses to a large extent, extent are actually caving into the participation trophy people. So the young people aren't learning any lessons. They're just realizing that, yeah, we can get them to bend to our will. Well, Trump's not going to. No, Trump is bucking that trend.
Stu Burguiere
Sometimes like everyone's like, oh, we need a new, a new view of leadership. Sometimes you just need the guy who's been around for a while and it's like, screw you. Yeah, you know, sometimes you just need, need that. You just need the guy who's going to be like, no, no, I, you know, I've been around for 70 years. I know what you're doing. No.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And you need that sometimes refreshing triple.
Pat Gray
Eight, seven two seven. Beck. This is Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck
Thanks to the generosity of people just like you, the Tunnel to Towers foundation welcomed U.S. army Specialist Brett Menard to a new mortgage free smart home in Florida. Brett decided to list in the US army after being motivated by 911 and his desire to be a part of something that truly matters. While on a road clearance mission in Afghanistan, Brett's vehicle was blown up by an IED. The blast left Brett a T4 paraplegic with traumatic brain injury and compartment syndrome in both arms, he's unable to use his legs. He had severe internal injuries and he needed a total face reconstruction because his bones and teeth were shattered in the explosion. Can't believe this guy lived. But he did. Despite the overwhelming challenge, Brett's spirit remained unbroken. And because of people like you, Tunnel to Towers built him a specially adapted smart home that allows people like him, catastrophically injured heroes, to live more independently. Would you consider being involved in great work like this? Tunnel Two Towers. That's t2t.org donate $11 a month to t.orgt the number two t.org great to.
Pat Gray
Have you with us. 88727 Beck Patton. Stew for Glenn today. Glenn returns tomorrow. Let's see. I was just about to get into Pete Hegseth, who I think is going to be such a great defense secretary. I mean, the guy, guy, he's no nonsense. We've, we've got some people in office right now and in positions of power that just don't care what you think about them. They've gotten a mandate from the president and they're, they're just bulldozing anybody who gets in their way. It's fantastic. Heg Seth is one of those. Here, here he is arriving in German. Okay, so he's just getting off the plane. Ready put. To put the hammer down on somebody, something. What he said the other day, though, was great. That the stupidest thing he's ever heard in his life was that the military's focus was going to be on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Stu Burguiere
That is kind of the dumbest possible thing, right?
Pat Gray
Yeah, yeah. And he basically said, look, we're getting back to what the military focuses on. I mean, I don't care what color you are. I don't care what, what culture you come from. I don't care what language you speak. You just have to be able to do the job and, and do it well. And isn't that how you want your military to operate? I certainly do. And when you've got a budget of $800 billion. I think this is another thing that's coming up quickly. And Glenn mentioned yesterday that he's excited about this. I am too, because we're supposed to be the kind who just fall in line with everything militarily. But I. You gotta believe that there's a lot of waste and a lot of fraud in the military industrial complex.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, yeah.
Pat Gray
As they deal with defense contractors and all of that, I bet it's hundreds of billions of dollars has to be.
Stu Burguiere
Has to be.
Pat Gray
I mean, what was it? Dick Cheney on September 10, 2001, said Rumsfeld was. It was run. It was Donald Rumsfeld. Yeah. Said that we were missing. Was it 3 trillion? It was somewhere 1 to 3 trillion. It was over a trillion dollars that was just missing. I don't know where it is. And then 9, 11 happened and nobody paid any attention to it. But I've never heard where that money went. And it's probably still going wherever that black hole is. Yep. Maybe we should look into it.
Stu Burguiere
You think?
Pat Gray
Yeah, I think so.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. That's a weird.
Pat Gray
Is it too picky of me?
Stu Burguiere
I don't know if we have time.
Pat Gray
Yeah. All right. Well, at least you can support children and Chad without faces, right? And help them find the eyeballs they so desperately need. This is Glenn back.
