[Stu Burguiere]

Thanks Glenn. How are you?

[Glenn Beck]

I'm good, I'm good. Are you leaving tomorrow for the Super Super Bowl?

[Stu Burguiere]

No, I figured I'd wait until the weekend it's going to be played. So we're gonna go actually from week Thursday. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's a week. Remember it's two weeks between the Super Bowl.

[Glenn Beck]

I keep losing this week first. I don't know why I keep losing this week.

[Stu Burguiere]

Not in this era. Days pass and you don't know. But yeah, they get two weeks to, to heal, to get ready for the big game. So I've got another week.

[Glenn Beck]

So there's a, there's a few things that are going on of note. Let's just first start with how I think how competent this administration is all of the people that are being put into roles, how competent they are. Let's start with an interview with Stephen Miller with Jake Tapper. I mean, you can see the disgust in Jake Tapper's face. He's, he's, he's pretty transparent. Listen to this. How does President Trump make sure that the effort to deport people who are not in this country legally doesn't end up hurting Americans who want safe borders.

[Stu Burguiere]

Absolutely.

[Glenn Beck]

But also don't want to see even more higher prices in groceries?

[Stephen Miller]

Well, I'm sure it's not your position, Jake. You're just asking the question that we should supply America's food with exploitative, illegal alien labor. I obviously think that's what you're implying. Only 1% of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture. The top destination for illegal aliens are large cities like New York, like Los Angeles, and small industrial towns, of course, all across the heartland that we, as we've seen with the Biden floods. None of those illegal aliens are doing farm work. Those 30,000 legal aliens that Joe Biden dumped into. I'm talking about the ones that. But, no, no, but I'm explaining this. It's important to understand.

[Glenn Beck]

Now you're kind of changing the. I mean, I will change the subject.

[Stu Burguiere]

Really.

[Stephen Miller]

I don't have you and your audience.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't have a third. I'm talking about the ones that could. That work in the agriculture industry.

[Stephen Miller]

You can come back and talk about.

[Stu Burguiere]

The ones in the cities.

[Stephen Miller]

I swear I'll do the. I'll do the whole answer. The illegal aliens that Joe Biden brought into our country are not full stop doing farm work. They are not. The illegal aliens he brought in from Venezuela, from Haiti, from Nicaragua. They are not doing farm work. They're in our cities collecting welfare. As for the farmers, there is a guest worker program that President Trump supports. Over time as well, we will transition into automation, so we'll never have to have this conversation ever again. I think there's no universe in which this nation.

[Glenn Beck]

Look at how disgusting. Is going to allow spaces the previous.

[Stephen Miller]

President to flood our nation with millions and millions of illegal aliens who just get to stay here.

[Glenn Beck]

I think that is a totally reasonable answer. And I really think that we should start asking people about farm labor and cheap labor, and they're using that as a, as a defense. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize we were in the 1850s again. Okay, so you have no, no problem with exploiting people as long as they're out picking your food Okay, I got it. I just want to understand where you're coming from, because that is what they're arguing.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's amazing, too. Like, the media really hates Donald Trump. I'm not breaking news with that. But they may hate Stephen Miller. They can't stand him. And I will say, you might not agree with Stephen Miller's opinion on these things. He knows this stuff really well. I mean, you're not gonna. He knows immigration issues. These are the issues that got him to the position he's in. And you're not gonna get on there and stump him on that stuff.

[Glenn Beck]

And I think everyone needs to learn from what this administration is saying. What they've been saying for the last couple of days is, are you okay? I just want to be on the record with you. Are you okay saying that we should exploit people for cheaper prices? I just, I. Because it puts you. It puts the Democrats where they have always been since the 1800s. Yes. It's going to affect our life if we get rid of these slaves. Yes. It's going to affect my lawn care prices. It's going to affect my food prices, my orange prices. Okay, that's fine. I just want to make sure that I understand clearly that that is where you stand, because then we can take a conversation honestly now and we can talk about two things. Is that right for you to think that, or does that kind of put you back into the old timey days with slavery?

[Stu Burguiere]

Because even if it's one of those things that. Even if it made the prices go up slightly, it would be the type of thing that I think Americans would be okay with. They didn't like the slavery thing. I think we're off of that bandwagon. So.

[Glenn Beck]

And it's. And it's different than. I mean, because I have an Apple product. Okay. I have Apple products in my house. I know those are made by slaves. I hate that. But it's the best product. And how I justify it in my head. And this is exactly the thing they did in the 1800s as well. I justified in my head is, well, I'll never be able to change China. I'm not going to change China. And we're working to change China in any way we can. But also.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, so context also matters there. I mean, a lot of the jobs that we. Again, slavery, it was a specific thing. Yes, we compare a lot of things to slavery. To be clear, even illegal immigrants working here are not slaves. No, technically, some of them are not. Some of them are, but it's still.

[Glenn Beck]

Expensive exploitation of people for cheaper prices.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I will say, especially when you're talking about China and products in other countries, you have to put context into it. You know, the pay that they get there, if it were here, would be terrible. If it's there, lots of times it's the best job in the area. That's not always true, but it is something that you have to consider.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay, so now let's go to the new press secretary, Caroline Levitt. She was, I thought, really, really good yesterday. She did seem just a little nervous. But, I mean, wouldn't. You're walking into a shark tank for your first day.

[Stu Burguiere]

Your first day. Absolutely.

[Glenn Beck]

But I thought she did really well at first. She started the press conference with some breaking news about the drones. Cut three.

[Caroline Levitt]

And before I turn to questions, I do have news directly from the President of the United States that was just shared with me in the Oval Office. From President Trump directly, an update on the New Jersey drones. After research and study. The drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. In time, it got worse. Due to curiosity. This was not the enemy. A statement from the President of the United States to start this briefing with some news.

[Glenn Beck]

How do you feel about that? That answer?

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, you know me. I don't.

[Glenn Beck]

That's where you were.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's kind of where I was. Kind of where I figured it would land. Now, I. Those are words directly from President Trump's mouth. I don't know why he'd lie about it.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't think he would.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't think he would. So, you know, I'm not shocked by that. Where that lands.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm not satisfied. And I know President Trump is not satisf with these things either. That's a good opening statement. What I'd like to see is the transparency of. Here are the documents from the FAA approving these things. I don't need to know what they were testing, but here's what they said. The. The Biden administration decided to close that down because. Or, you know, not tell you about this, not spread these to the American people. I don't know why. Maybe it's. They caused chaos, but they were also very incompetent on a lot of things. So I don't know why it wasn't verified, but I'd like to see the documentation that would. It would help because we don't trust anything anymore. I do trust Donald Trump to tell us the truth, because I do believe he. He answers to us. I do believe that he doesn't have an ulterior motive. I think the shooting honestly proved that out for people.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, you were, I wouldn't say the biggest theorist on this, but you were concerned and asked a lot of questions. There are people who are much, much more deeply into this than you were. What's the reaction from that side? Do they buy that? I mean, a lot of them like Trump.

[Glenn Beck]

So I think here's where I would go in my mind is, well, Trump is saying that because of national security, can't say anything. You know what I mean?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I think you gotta. You will go down a road. And that's why I say I would like just see the documentation. Just show me the documentation so we can just write these things off. We're talking to Colmer and next hour, and it's the same kind of thing. I don't care if people are arrested anymore. I just want to know the truth and I want to see it in documents. I want the proof of what was going on. I want to know who was running the White House and our country in the last six months. Yeah, really important, huge one.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's like we get. We have these big things and we just kind of stop.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Like, you know, the. There's some news on this that broke the other day, but like, you know, the lab leak Covid situation, like, just trying to just gets away with this. Is that how this works? Like, we just, you know, 25 million people died in the world and we're just going to be like, oh, man, remember that whole story about the pangolins? Like, we're just going to kind of shrug our shoulders and let that go on. We all lost a year of our lives. And we're just going to be like, ah, you know, what's the big deal? I don't know exactly how you punish him. And I think part of this, Trump obviously is very focused on not only punishment, but also getting answers on this stuff. But we can't just let that go. Right. Same thing with this.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't think he is. I mean, with the stopping all funding on everything to make sure for 90 days, we want to make sure this is all in line with the agenda of the United States. But also, I think it was over the weekend he stopped any communication from nih, cdc, any of these organizations. You are not to change your website. You are not to make any statements on, you know, hey, we just did a research study. This is nothing you do nothing until we get a handle on what's really going on.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And I think that's really good.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm not saying that's. That wasn't a Trump criticism.

[Glenn Beck]

No, I don't.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's a society criticism. Like, we do tend to just move on from this stuff. And, you know, China, especially here, if the foundation of all of that chaos was them leading, letting this out of this lab, which I believe it was, there has to be ramifications for that. Same thing with the last six months, and six months isn't long enough. But the last year, year and a half of the Biden administration, where we have multiple, well reported news stories saying that at least six people inside Joe Biden's inner circle actively hid what he was doing behind the scenes so that he could win that election. That's not okay. We have. Something has to be done about what happened there. We need to know. I want to know. I want every single text from those six people when they were planning that out.

[Glenn Beck]

I want to know. I want to know not only who ran the government, but also who actually forced him out. Who was the one that actually. Was it Nancy Pelosi? Was it Kamala? Was it Barack Obama? How did that actually come down?

[Stu Burguiere]

It's gonna be an incredible. I mean, someone's gonna write a book about it eventually.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm telling you, this. Is this the corruption that has happened in the last four years? The American people may not understand it, but they've got a pretty good gut. They knew something is really wrong. And, you know, I think that Tulsi Gabbard, DNI position, if she. I think she's going to be the one that has the hardest time getting through. I think everything else before this was, you know, rookies compared to what they're going to do to her. And this vote is secret. Hmm. I got a problem with that. We'll get into that here in just a second. But that DNI position is, I believe. And Cash Patel's position at doj, those are two of the most important. Or FBI, the two of the most important positions, because they will. You'll be able to see, and they can unlock doors. And we have a chance at a church commission, which must happen. We'll get into that in just a minute. Let me tell you about Lear Capital. You know, the way things are going in this country right now, I mean, it is. It is monumental, and the momentum is monumental. Things are not only moving in a positive direction, but they are picking up speed. We have a chance of really saving our country. But there is a possibility of real pain as we do this. This has to be played. We talked to Carol Roth last week and she said, glenn, it has to be played exactly right. Because interest rates, if interest rates go up, that's real detrimental. I mean, Joe Biden, all of the loans that we took, they all expire in the next four years. What the what? So we are this year going in, having to ask the world, hey, can you refinance us for all of these trillions of dollars? We're in a very precarious situation. If anything goes wrong, we could collapse our dollar as the world reserve currency. It is so important that you understand what's going on and that you protect yourself. I want you to get a free report called $4200 gold. That would be incredible and in a bad way, too. I mean, you don't want to root for gold to be $4200 because Earth is just on fire. But there's a new report out that shows you that there are a lot of people that are starting to say $4200 gold is headed that way in 2025, 2026. I hope not. But find out and protect yourself with gold or silver. Collier Capital Now, 800-957-Gold. 800-957-Gold. Ask how you can receive up to $15,000 in free gold or silver with a qualifying purchase. It's 800-957-Gold. Call them now. 800-957-Gold. 10 seconds. Station ID. So I want to get into just a couple of other things that was said yesterday from Caroline Levitt. And because it is a good basis of way where, where we have to go, where we have to stand. First cut four on the reporter's question on truth.

[Caroline Levitt]

Miller.

[Glenn Beck]

Thanks, Caroline. A question that we've asked your predecessors of both parties in this job. When you're up here in this briefing room speaking to the American public, do you view yourself and your role as.

[Stu Burguiere]

Speaking, advocating on behalf of the president.

[Glenn Beck]

Or providing the unvarnished truth that is not to lie, not to obfuscate to the American people? Ms.

[Caroline Levitt]

I commit to telling the truth from this podium every single day. I commit to speaking on behalf of the president of the United States. That is my job. And I will say it's very easy to speak truth from this podium when you have a president who is implementing policies that are wildly popular with the American people. And that's exactly what this administration is doing. It's correcting the lies and the wrongs of the past four years. Many of the lies that have been told to your faces in this very briefing room. I will not do that. But since you brought up truth seek, I would like to point out, while I vow to provide the truth from this podium, we ask that all of you in this room hold yourselves to that same standard. We know for a fact there have been lies that have been pushed by many legacy media outlets in this country about this president, about his family, and we will not accept that. We will call you out when we feel that your reporting is wrong or there is misinformation about this White House. So, yes, I will hold myself to the truth and I expect everyone in this room to do the same.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is a bad hire by Trump.

[Glenn Beck]

Is it?

[Stu Burguiere]

It is. She doesn't even know how to do the job. She's not even reading it. Yeah, you're right to read every single word from the book.

[Glenn Beck]

I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

And never look up at the people you're talking to. She was, she didn't even look at the book, Glenn. Did anyone train her?

[Glenn Beck]

Why? I think actually she, she's kind of the old timey. Kind of. He's going for the callback to the old timey press secretary.

[Stu Burguiere]

By the way, Glenn, you're a historian of sorts.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Is it true that they ask every press secretary whether they'll tell the truth? I don't remember Corinne Jean Pierre getting that question. Maybe she did.

[Glenn Beck]

No, they, I don't remember that. They asked Reagan.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay, okay.

[Glenn Beck]

Reagan's press secretary. Then you go back to Eisenhower. Okay. As Eisenhower. I know they were all over Calvin Coolidge.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, really?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Okay. Over him. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Because I feel like there's a couple gaps there you're not mentioning.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't know.

[Stu Burguiere]

We've asked this of both parties. It's certainly possible that Jen Psaki got that question. Just didn't make news because they all believe she was going to tell the truth. But can I, can I get, can I get the KJP video? It's not that long ago.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. It should be accessible to find it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Was she asked that question? Yeah, maybe she was.

[Glenn Beck]

She went into truth about a lot of things yesterday. But truth will not be found if Tulsi Gabbard is not confirmed or someone that you can really truly trust is going in looking for the truth. That is one of the most important positions. And I'll explain coming up. Pat Gray joins us as well. This is Glenn Beck. So I have to tell you, I, I, I hope the Trump administration, somebody is going to start meeting with the burner launcher People when it comes to putting burner launchers in our schools, I mean, I don't want the federal government to do it, but I'd like somebody of note to stand up. This is the, this is the solution for our school violence. It is. Burner launcher is a non lethal alternative to safeguarding your home, your family, your classroom. It is legal in all 50 states, no permits or background checks required. It can be used by all age groups over 18.

[Glenn Beck]

Hearings are about to be heard here about 30 minutes. We are live and so we will be covering those hearings also. Tulsi Gabbard, her hearings begin tomorrow. Those are going to be open, but the vote is in the skiff. And here is, here's the real problem. Tulsi Gabbard has been charged by President Trump to go in and look at every single secret agency and find out what the black ops are, what have they been doing, who is involved in any of this. Smear. She's being smeared like crazy again today, again by the intelligence community. And she's, I think she's the most risky vote because it's, it's a secret vote and it should not be a secret vote. She is not, she doesn't have any high, high top secret clearance yet. She has none. So she's not going to be divulging any secrets. And I want to know, I may not have to hear everything. If some things are sensitive, then you know, I want security for the United States. But this has been a secret vote since the Department of Homeland Security invented the job of Department of National Intelligence. She oversees all the spooks and I want to know how my representative is voting. Because without, if they take a secret vote then we don't know who's on our side, who's not. I want to be able to say, wait a minute, Senator, why did you vote that way? This is A way for them to be cowards and do things. I mean, you don't understand how many senators and congressmen have said to me in secret, outside looking around, being very paranoid, you carrying a phone and then say, they are spying on all of us. That has to stop. This is oversight. So you might want to call your congressman and make sure that they vote or your senators and make sure that they vote for Tulsi Gabbard and demand that it's not a secret vote. You can make a difference. With. That said, before I go to Pat, let me just give you one other piece of news that just came in from Ron DeSantis who was on yesterday's program. He said, I want, I want you to thank all the listeners of your program yesterday, Glenn, who have supported the strong immigration proposals in Florida. They called, they wrote to the Florida legislatures to insist on the strongest law possible. Please keep up the calls and the letters for the provisions that are currently missing from the legislature's latest bill. So they started to make. You made a difference yesterday. Keep it up. They're starting to move his way. But you've got a lot of rhinos in Florida that are, are trying to play the old game. Don't get DeSantis's bill through or you're going to lose Florida. You're going to lose what you have. The minute he's gone, these weasels will come back in and screw it all up again. Be strong and send a strong message to the legislature. Hello, Pac, Ray, welcome.

[Cash Patel]

Hello, Glenn Beck.

[Glenn Beck]

You just got back from Mexico, right?

[Cash Patel]

I did, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

How was that?

[Cash Patel]

It was awesome. It was great. It was eye opening, though. You know this. You realize just how much we take for granted.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yeah.

[Cash Patel]

In the United States, every time I.

[Glenn Beck]

Travel, I come back and go, oh, thank God I'm back in the United States. Yeah.

[Cash Patel]

Oh, we, Jackie and I were both that way. We nearly wept as we flew over the DFW area coming back home. I mean, it's, it's so tragic to see what they have to put up with in Mexico.

[Stu Burguiere]

What do you mean?

[Cash Patel]

I mean, it's, it's a nation with incredible resources. You know, they have oil, they have.

[Glenn Beck]

Agriculture, they have tourism.

[Cash Patel]

They could, they could, they. But their leadership squanders it because they're corrupt. And, you know, it's pretty bad when you, when the water is so bad that you can't even brush your teeth with it. You can't even put it in your mouth to spit it back out because it's too dangerous to do that. You can't even flush toilet paper down a toilet. The sewer system is so screwed up. I don't know how they put up with it. I don't know why they put up with it. I guess they're used to it now.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, again, if we didn't have Donald Trump, we would eventually be in that situation. Be in that situation, and we just have to put up with it. They don't have a Donald Trump, and anybody who looks like could be a Donald Trump, they're killed by the cartels.

[Cash Patel]

Yeah, it's true. I mean, it does show you what 50 or 100 years of socialism brings you.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes. And corruption with cartels.

[Cash Patel]

Corruption. Yes. And the cartels are in control of a lot of what happens.

[Glenn Beck]

Where did you go?

[Cash Patel]

We went to Valladolid first, and then we went to Tulum, which are. Tulum's kind of a trendy new touristy area now.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, well, yeah. Yeah. You scream trendy.

[Cash Patel]

Don't I though? Right. When people see me and hear me.

[Stu Burguiere]

They think he might not scream trendy. But he does scream tourist when he's in. When it's in Mexico, that I'm sure of.

[Glenn Beck]

So that's for sure military presence there. I know in Cancun, it's heavy.

[Cash Patel]

Yeah. It's not as heavy as it is in Cancun, but there's still pretty serious military presence. You see them driving around in their. In their Humvees and the jeeps with the AR15s or AK47s, I'm not sure what they use. And they're on the street corners on the main strip where the tourists all walk down the street all day long. So there is a serious presence, but.

[Glenn Beck]

You can't even trust that.

[Cash Patel]

No, you can't. And I was told when I was there, hey, don't ever carry cash with you if you rent your car, because when they pull you over, they will find a way to take it all from you. I'm like, well, we have that in America. It's called civil asset forfeiture. So I'm pretty used to that.

[Glenn Beck]

In Mexico, they have just called corruption. Yes.

[Cash Patel]

And that's what.

[Glenn Beck]

We at least give it a fancy name.

[Cash Patel]

They said the cops are so corrupt there that. That if you get pulled over and they know that you have any sort of. Because they. They offer to accept your ticket right then and there. And they usually find a way when they find that you have money to take it all. So that is.

[Glenn Beck]

So can you imagine living that way?

[Cash Patel]

No, I mean, that's the.

[Glenn Beck]

That's where we were headed. It is where we were headed. You couldn't trust the police. You couldn't trust the FBI. I mean, I still don't. I trust, you know, my local police, but I don't trust the FBI, don't trust the justice system. I mean, look at what Donald Trump is taking on right now in this last week. What, it.

[James Comer]

What, What.

[Glenn Beck]

When you were on vacation, I am assuming you saw some of it.

[Cash Patel]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

What were you. What were your thoughts? And did you hear anybody in Mexico say anything?

[Cash Patel]

It felt too good to be true. I. I mean, the things that he was doing were. And remarkably, just a few months ago.

[Glenn Beck]

Right. And remarkably, he's still doing more every day. Every day we come in here, like, oh, my gosh. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

You could tell Doge is in effect with this.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know, I'm sure we'll get into it later.

[Glenn Beck]

Fork in the road.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. This idea that, like, every single employee gets this email, say, hey, you can just respond, resign to this email, and then we'll pay you till September. Which, you know, may get overturned in the courts, but it's the exact thing that they did with Twitter.

[Glenn Beck]

Right. Like, started the same way.

[Stu Burguiere]

It started the same way.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. The letter to the Twitter employees and the letter to the government employees started with a fork in the road.

[Cash Patel]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And. And I think that's great. I don't have a problem with that.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't have a problem with it either. I mean, he's. There's some clause that you can pay employees $25,000 for them to resign. Like, that's in the law. It's like the Homeland Security Act. For some reason, it's in there. But paying people till September would go well over that for a lot of employees. So they may have trouble with that particular part of it. But again, all these things are getting challenged. Pretty generous, though.

[Glenn Beck]

It's still generous. CIL saves, what was it, $150 million a year.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, it would save a fortune. It depends on how many people take it. Right.

[Glenn Beck]

But I would take it. If I were in the administration, I'd be like, you know, they're gonna find a way to cut. I've done my deal. I mean, unless you're hardcore, I think I would take it.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I think, of course, this is part of the reason. It's the same thing Elon Musk did and the same thing that he's doing here. If you are an opponent of Donald Trump and are working at a job that you're now executing policy that you disagree with I mean, look, look, I'm sure there are good liberal workers who are in there because they got in there and they wanted to do. They wanted to change the world and help people. And they go in there and all of a sudden, like, they're cutting these programs. They probably don't want to stay in that job. And so this gives them the opportunity to get out.

[Glenn Beck]

Of course, there are millions, and the majority are liberal in government. They believe that government is the way to fix things. So they go into those government jobs. We don't believe that, so we don't go into those jobs.

[Stu Burguiere]

The private sector.

[Glenn Beck]

Correct.

[Stu Burguiere]

I get victimized by those other people.

[Glenn Beck]

I know. So, I mean, it's. It only makes sense that our government is riddled with socialist or big government people. Especially over the last few years with what's been happening with our educational system. They're just pumping them out like crazy.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. And this is a great way to just. You're gonna wind up getting. I don't know how many people accept this. A quarter? I don't know. A lot. Probably a lot of people. 10, I would think.

[Cash Patel]

A lot.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't know, Whatever. It is gonna be a large raw number of people who are like, you know what? I'll get paid till September and I'll find a new gig. And like, that's a great setup for somebody. Right. I'd much rather pay them till September to do nothing, but there's an end date on it. Then continue to pay them for what they're actually doing, because whatever that is isn't working.

[Cash Patel]

And it certainly beats severance if you get fired anyway and we give you two weeks and we say, see ya. Yeah, this is a way better option.

[Stu Burguiere]

Which was implied quite clearly in the email. Yeah, yeah, you're probably gonna get fired anyway, so you might as well take this.

[Cash Patel]

And they probably are. I really think Donald Trump is serious this time about reducing the size of government. Oh, I really think he's going to.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, I think he's serious about all of it.

[Cash Patel]

Yeah, I do, too.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, he, you know, it takes on watching him now, everything he told me over the summer and during the election, it changes the way I viewed that. I knew he intellectually was there, but this shows that he not only was intellectually there, he began planning this a long time ago and has the basis covered. The way he's doing things is remarkable.

[Cash Patel]

It's incredible. I mean, he's said this a few times, but I really think it's. I think he's had the most Consequential eight days in office ever in history.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh yeah, Ever.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's been intense.

[Cash Patel]

It has.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's been intense. And I feel intensely good. Yeah. And I will say, like, I feel like we've missed things.

[Glenn Beck]

At least I know we have because.

[Stu Burguiere]

We'Ve talked about a lot of these things and it's impossible to do a deep dive in all of them.

[Glenn Beck]

Guys, guys, this is you and we, the three of us were together during Obama. Remember we couldn't keep up with it because he overwhelmed the system. The media can't keep up with this. We can't keep up with this because he's overwhelming the system. It's brilliant.

[Craig T. Nelson]

It is.

[Glenn Beck]

Using Cloward and Piven in reverse.

[Cash Patel]

Against them.

[Glenn Beck]

Against them.

[Stu Burguiere]

I will say though, this is the new norm, isn't it? There's no way a Democrat gets into office and doesn't do the same stuff. Now. This is it.

[Glenn Beck]

That's why. That's why we have to win. That's why we must win in two years.

[Stu Burguiere]

We must win every single election till the end of time.

[Cash Patel]

And these.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, no, I mean, no, because if you can, if you can codify these things, otherwise it's got to be backed up with legislation. It has to be. We have to stop this executive order stuff.

[Cash Patel]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

To get a hold of the country. We have to do it that way now. But it's gotta be codified. Otherwise we're just gonna keep doing this over and over again and no country will survive those wild swings. None of them. Pat, good to have you back. Thank you very much. Pat Gray. Unleash. You can hear him wherever you get your podcast or on Blaze tv.

[Glenn Beck]

Kristan justice just written a great piece. He's going to be on with us tomorrow about what's happening to Tulsa Gabbard. They're just coming after her with all kinds of smear tactics and the she's going to go up for the hearing and she will be voted on next week. You'll see the hearing but not the vote. You'll get the raw number of the vote, but you won't get the committee vote because it's going to be voted on in the skiff. And I don't know why. I think that is the coward's way out. I think that's just. I mean, these people, they are our eyes and ears. These are the people that oversee intelligence. I want to know how they voted. Are they voting for. For transparency or not? And I think that's reasonable to ask. Do you not still.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I think that's totally reasonable to ask. And I'm trying to understand the vote here and how, how it works.

[Glenn Beck]

So they're going into committee. Yeah, the committee run by Republicans. So majority of Republicans. If this vote, this vote will be secret from the committee, the hearings will be open. Then they go into a skiff and they vote the committee. If she passes, it means all of the Republicans voted for. If she doesn't, it means one or two or, you know, many of them didn't vote for her. We'll know the number, but we won't know who failed to stand up for her. And then it'll go right. Unless they say it. And then it will go to the floor and if she passes and then that vote will be open and you'll have everybody's name.

[Stu Burguiere]

We'll get that one. Yeah. And by the way, just to remind you how these things normally go, Avril Haynes, which was the she. She want. She got. It was 84 to 10 or. Yeah, 84 to 10 was the.

[Glenn Beck]

It's not going to be this, it's not going to be that.

[Stu Burguiere]

And you'd think, honestly, again, like, like if you're a Democrat, Tulsi Gabbard has changed on some things. She hasn't changed on this stuff. This was how she was when she was a Democrat. She is like very consistent on this stuff. She's maybe awoken to some of the woke stuff and all that stuff, but it has nothing to do with her job here.

[Glenn Beck]

No, she's still anti war. She's still.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is as good as you're gonna do.

[Glenn Beck]

This is great for them.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I would assume you'd get Democrat votes for her, but right now it doesn't seem that way.

[Glenn Beck]

You want to talk about veng?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

They will make sure that she doesn't get through in any way. And the, the intel agencies, they are going to pull out every stop to stop her and smear her. She has, I think, one of the most dangerous jobs and the hardest to get job to be able to go in and say I'm exposing all of you. If you're doing wrong, you might want to accept that resignation now. This is Glenn Beck. I want to tell you why the burner launcher was created. The guy who actually started a big second amendment guy carries a gun. He was in his car and there was a road rager that the guy just would not stop. And so the guy who started burner pulled over and thinking that he's just going to pass me, well he didn't. He pulled behind him. He reached for his glove box to grab his gun and then he thought no, I don't want to have a gunfight. This is just road rage. Well, he said it was the biggest mistake of his life because the guy just beat him to a bloody pulp on the side of the road. And he thought I, I still wouldn't wanted to kill the guy but I was stupid for not being prepared at all. 1% really requires lethal defense. 1% according to the cops.

Down the road where.

[Glenn Beck]

Shadows hide Feel the dark on every side Stand your ground when times get dark Gotta face the dog in the Embrace the fire the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. RFK Jr. Is now entering the committee room for his his time. You know, in the, in the spotlight, the electric chair. We're going to be watching this and see exactly how they cross examine. Tulsi Gabbard is tomorrow. There's a lot going on. We have Congressman James Comer on with us. He's from Kentucky. He is. He's releasing a Or he released a book earlier this month, all the President's money. This is about Biden and what the committee found. And how dirty was this thing? I'd like to know, are we pursuing any of these things? I know we can't necessarily put them in jail, but I think all of this stuff has to be exposed. So we're going to talk about that. We'll keep you up to date on everything that is happening live. In 60 seconds, we begin. First, let me tell you about Cozy Earth. I have to tell you, I'm really spoiled and I am very, very grateful for being spoiled. When, when somebody comes in and they want me to represent them, if I don't know who they are or I don't have any of their products, they usually come in with their product and say, here, try this. That's what happened with Cozy Earth. I'm a sheet snob, but I also don't like really, really expensive sheets because I think that's crazy. And Cozy Earth came in and I have never felt sheets like this. And I mean, it was crazy. And I'm like, okay, all right, I probably could afford these, but how much do they cost? The nice thing is with 40% off, they are affordable. And these are things that you're only going to get in the richest people's houses. You're going to get in the best hotels. It's Cozy Earth and they make all kinds of stuff. But their bedding is really phenomenal. Actually, all of it is. But I want you to try their bedding. It's a 10 year warranty on their sheets. 10 year warranty. And what is it, a 60 day or six month guarantee that you can turn them back around if you don't like them. Oh, it's 100 night sleep trial. That's what it is. Get luxury with cozy earth. Cozyearth.com Beck. Use that code, Beck. You'll get 40% off. Cozyearth.com Becky. All right, let's go to James Comer, who is with us, the congressman from Kentucky. Welcome, Congressman. How are you?

[James Comer]

I'm well. Thanks for having me on.

[Glenn Beck]

It is great to have you on. I want to look at your book and what we found, but I want to frame it in a way of it's just frustrating to talk about all this stuff that we know if nothing is going to change. So tell me what you found and how we can actually make sure this doesn't happen again on either side.

[James Comer]

Well, we found two things. First of all, obviously, we found that the Bidens were on the take. What the media tried to say about the Bidens was they were in business like Jared Kushner and Donald Trump.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[James Comer]

But what we found in our investigation, when we started subpoenaing bank records and things like this and bank violations, that was the big thing, the suspicious activity reports was that they didn't have a legitimate business. They had all these LLC. They had about 26 or 27 LLC, and at least 20 of them were flat out what's called shell company. They were not real legitimate businesses. The banks flagged them. They said their client, when they would ask Hunter Biden, what is this llc? He would say, it's an investment company. And then the bank examiners would be communicating with each other. When we subpoenaed the emails from the bank, and they would say, the client says, this is an investment company, but it has no investments. Which, which is, which is a shell company. They were using these shell companies to launder money from these foreign nationals and I would argue from the country of China, not from a Chinese energy company like the media said. According to. Yeah, it was the Chinese Communist Party just bribing the Bidens. They would then launder it in incremental payments to 10 different family members. So we found out, first of all, the Biden family was on the take. And secondly, we found out that the government knew about it. That's the thing. The government knew. There were four different government agencies investigating the Bidens. They were hot on the trail. That was the FBI, the irs, the Department of Justice, and the securities and Exchange Commission all had ongoing investigations. And when, when they would get to the point to where they would have to talk to Joe, because none of this money would be happening without Joe Biden, right? Then they were told to stand down. So we found out the Bidens were on the take and the government knew it. But there was a cover up.

[Glenn Beck]

Now, how does somebody get that kind of power to say stand down?

[James Comer]

That's a great question. And that's what we call, what I call the deep state. These were deep state bureaucrats. It wasn't necessarily the Christopher Wray's or the James Comey's. It was the embedded bureaucrats, the unelected bureaucrats who actually run these government agencies. And a lot of people think, okay, Trump's won the election, he's come in, he's gonna put Cash Patel, who I love and with, and he's gonna, he's the right guy for the job. But Cash is gonna have to fire a lot of career people in the FBI. And you Know, the way the civil service laws are, you can't fire them. And that's what happened to Trump. The first administration, he wanted to fire some of these people. In the, you know, the bill bars of the world, they would say, oh, you can't. Or the j.

[Glenn Beck]

Going to this time they're gonna try.

[James Comer]

Yeah, they're going to. And that's, that's how you stop it. Because people say they shouldn't. We need to pass a law or fix this to where this doesn't ever happen again. Well, the laws were in place. The banks notified the treasury that they thought the Bidens were on the take. The suspicious activity report that we got, and I have a banking background, I knew this was a big deal when we found out that we're a hundred of these suspicious activity reports. I knew from being a director of a bank, you don't issue these things for nothing because that's. The bank examiners roll in when you issue one of these. And you certainly don't do it on a prominent client unless you know darn well they're committing financial crimes. And they had a, you know, it was reported 150. We found 170 on the Bidens, plus another 50 that they were, they were a part of that. They were subject to SO220 bank viol, where the banks, six different banks, were notifying the federal government. We think they're laundering money. We think they're violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. We think they're, they're violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. I mean, so the checks and balances were in place. The government agencies knew it, but they were told to stand down. And I believe, and I write this in my book, that I don't believe they did it because they love Joe Biden. I believe they covered up for Joe Biden because they hated Donald Trump and they didn't want Donald Trump to come back in office. And that's why they did it, in.

[Glenn Beck]

My opinion also perhaps, that the banks are getting an awful lot of money. All the bailouts and everything else, all the cozy relationship with the banks, the Fed and the federal government bother me a great deal. Because they should have. If they weren't getting any traction here and everybody was denying it, shouldn't they have come to the American people and said, hey, we just want you to know that we really, truly believe or we have canceled our business with this client because of suspicious activity or something like that. Shouldn't they have done that?

[James Comer]

I can tell you the banks were scared to death. When I first, when we flipped the House and I became chairman, the House Oversight Committee. One of the first meetings I had in January, when we were still trying to get a speaker elected, that first week was with Jamie Dimon. And I write about it in my book, all the President's Money, and he's the CEO of JP Morgan. I knew JP Morgan was one of the banks that had a bunch of goods violations on the Biden. And I said, I'm gonna hopefully have subpoena power in a week or two. And I just want you to know I'm gonna subpoena you and JP Morgan for these bank violations. And I thought he would, you know, bark at me or whatever, but he wanted me to have those banks and the other five banks. You're talking about Wells Fargo, you're talking about bank of America, they wanted me to have. Because they were screaming. They did. I mean, you, you don't issue a suspicious activity report on someone and not get the bank examiners roll in. But these banks were issuing dozens and dozens and they had communicated amongst themselves and knew that other banks were doing the same thing. And they couldn't believe that the government wasn't doing anything. And then that, you know, when the laptop came out that, you know, they saw some of these emails on there that alluded to the banks were after the Biden and the media was saying, oh, there's nothing there. It's Rudy Giuliani making stuff up. It's right wing crazy people like Comer saying the Bidens are corrupt when it's Russian. Yeah, collusion. This is Vladimir Putin telling Republicans what to say. And I mean, to the banks, I'll defend the banks on this. They were very cooperative. They turned over, I mean, they gave us the Biden bank records, which, which you think about the sitting President, United States. The banks gave the House Oversight Committee.

[Glenn Beck]

Wow.

[James Comer]

The personal bank records of Hunter Biden and Jim Biden and all these shell companies or. And that's how we, that's how we found it out.

[Glenn Beck]

But you know, how much, how much money are we talking?

[James Comer]

$35 million. And according to the IRS whistleblowers, they never paid a penny of taxes on it. Now think about that. The Bidens would owe another $10 million in taxes. What Hunter Biden got prosecuted on was the one legitimate thing he did. So the one legitimate source of income that Hunter Biden had over a 10 year period that I looked at, his bank record was from Burisma. Burisma was a corrupt energy company in Ukraine, but it was a real company. And he was listed as a director even though he had no qualifications. And they paid him an exorbitant amount of money, more than the directors of Chevron, Exxon and Mobil combined making a year he got. But, but here's where he got. He didn't pay taxes on it. He got a W2 on it. And none of this other money he got a W2 on because it was, it was laundered money. But this was the one legitimate paycheck he got, even though it was unethical as hell and he just didn't pay taxes on it.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay, so what the Bidens think they.

[James Comer]

Don'T, you know, taxes are only for the little people. Not, not for the, you know.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, I have.

[James Comer]

Not for them.

[Glenn Beck]

I have to tell you, you're going to have president after president after president do this stuff. If these people, people don't pay a price. And whoever was involved. But now they've all been, you know, they've all been pardoned. Will we still move forward and expose all of the players and all. Everything the people have to know. This has to be on record and fully transparent.

[James Comer]

I'm begging Bondi and Patel to move forward on this. I told him we will help on the House Oversight Committee. I've got, you know, I got fighters like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nancy Mace and Byron Donald and Scott Perry, I mean, Andy Biggs, you know, we want to keep moving forward, but all we faced is obstruction from the Department of Justice. Now that we have a friendly Department of Justice, you know, if they will, will pursue this, I. The one set of bank records I could not get because of. And Trump talks about this a lot presidential immunity. We could not get Joe Biden's bank records. I would love to see Joe Biden's bank records because, you know, the, the. There were plenty of allegations, right, that the FBI had, that Joe Biden was taking bribes and things like that. We found the money of the allegations to the bots, but not to him. Jim Biden, the Biden family. That's why Joe Biden had to pardon his entire family because of our investigation and, you know, some. Somebody. So why, why, you know, why didn't anybody go to jail? We did the report and, and we had all we can do. I'm a police officer, can arrest someone, but he can't send it some to prison. And that's kind of like we were.

[Glenn Beck]

The police officers and the prosecutors wouldn't take it.

[James Comer]

The prosecutors wouldn't take it. They would just attack me. And I wrote the book. All the president's money because the media would not cover this. They would either say there was no evidence and honestly a lot of conservative media would, would miss the point. Like when I'll give you an example and I write about it in the book. Tony Bobulinski did a great job in a, in a public hearing and he said that the money from China was a bribe. I mean, this is the guy that was in on the bill, said the money from China was. The problem is $8 million. And, and, but then he got into an argument, if you'll remember, with Ocasio Cortez with aoc, where she said RICO wasn't a crime. Well, that's all that was on the conservative media. The clip of Bobulinski getting into it with aoc, which was good. He made her look bad. But at the end of the day, the message from the hearing should have been that the money wasn't from a Chinese energy company like the media said.

[Glenn Beck]

It was a bribe.

[James Comer]

Money was a bribe from the Chinese Communist Party.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay, hang on just a second for one minute. I want to come back and I want to ask you what are the steps and with them being pardoned, do you believe that you can call them in to Congress for hearings and they have to testify and if they don't, well, what happens?

[Stu Burguiere]

Foreign.

[Glenn Beck]

We'Re talking to Congressman James Comer, the congressman from Kentucky. He is the author of all the President's Money. This is everything that came out of Congress and the investigations to really detail exactly what was going on, the bribes and everything else, that because the president's family now has been pardoned, nobody apparently can go to jail. So what are you. What are you hoping will happen?

[James Comer]

Well, I'm hoping that, first of all, I want to see all the deep state actors terminated, and I would love to bring them in for a public hearing to see who told them to stand down. If we could get testimony, whether it's in a deposition or a public hearing, to say we were told to stand down by Joe Biden, we were told to stand down by Barack Obama or George Soros or whomever, then I think that would help with. With busting up the pardons. You know, at the end of the day, people may say Joe Biden didn't pardon himself. Well, you know, Joe Biden could easily have a doctor go up and say he's got early forms of dementia. And you, you know, by law, you can't put someone like that on stand. And they got the hurt. They got what Robert her wrote as evidence. But I think it's going to have to be the Department of Justice. We could subpoena the Biden family, but with the pardons, I don't know whether they would hold up in court. We've got to have the Department of Justice get our back. And I think we've not pressed Pam Bondi a lot because she's not been confirmed yet, but we know she has ability to do it. I've spoken to President Trump about it. I mean, I think that, you know, the media is going to say, oh, this is retribution. It's accountability.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. It has to be done. It has to be done. We cannot. We cannot forgive. I mean, this started with the Clintons. I mean, I'm sure people were doing it before, but the Clintons, exactly right. And then Joe Biden just took it to a whole new level.

[James Comer]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

It's got to stop. There has to be accountability somewhere.

[James Comer]

That's the business model.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[James Comer]

That the bias learned from it was the Clinton Foundation.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[James Comer]

And instead of putting it in a foundation, they just tried to put it in these shell companies like it was a, you know, like it was a legitimate business enterprise. Like. And that's what they would say. We're doing exactly what Jared Kushner and Trump Jr. Are doing. This is an investment company, but there was no investment. They took the money, they laundered it, and they stuck it in their personal accounts, where they paid for vacations, luxury cars, groceries, you know, just. Just basic living. They were living off of our adversaries around the world. And this is the kicker that drives me crazy. Because Joe Biden wanted to double the size of the IRS to go after the tax sheets. They did not pay a penny of taxes. They easily owe $10 million more in taxes. And that, to me, is why he pardoned the spouses too. He didn't just pardon the siblings, he pardoned their spouses because some of those incremental payments were going to them as well. Ten different Biden family members, including minor grandchildren at the time, got money.

[Glenn Beck]

All right, we're going to Capitol Hill next and hear what RFK Jr is saying in his hearing to senators. It is wild to see this confirmation hearing where you have the senator, Senator Wyden from Oregon taking on RFK Jr. But I mean, he's even screaming at him. It's a bizarre situation. It is the. The hearing has been interrupted several times by people screaming for, I don't know, save the whales or you know, you know, stop, you know, toenail growth. I don't know.

[Stu Burguiere]

They don't stop toenail growth guy. So, yeah, that was impactful.

[Glenn Beck]

He is right now being asked questions by Wieden. Let's listen in a bit.

[RFK Jr.]

Never been very high. And in 2018, two more kids died following the MMR vaccine and the government's emotions ban the MMR vaccine. I arrived a year later when vaccination rates were already below any previous level. I went there. Nothing to do with vaccines. I went there to introduce a medical informatic system. I would digitalize records in Samoa and make health delivery much more efficient. I never gave any public statement about vaccines. You can not find a single Samoan who will say I didn't get a vaccine because of Bobby Kennedy. I went in June of 2019. The Measles Housebreak started in August. Oh, clearly I had nothing to do with the measles. Not only that, Senator. Not only that. If you let me finish, you have had some time.

[Stu Burguiere]

If you let me finish these. These hearings. So stupid.

[RFK Jr.]

There are 83 people died when the tissue samples were sent to New Zealand. Most of those people did not have measles. We don't know what was killing them. The same outbreak occurred in Tonga and Fiji and no extra people died. There were seven measles outbreaks in the 13 years prior to my arrival.

[Glenn Beck]

I would like to get my time back.

[Stu Burguiere]

The nominee wrote a book saying that people had been misled into believing that.

[Glenn Beck]

Measles is a deadly disease. He's trying now to play down his role in Samoa. That's not what the parents say.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's not what Governor Green says.

[Glenn Beck]

It's time to make sure that we.

[Stu Burguiere]

Blow the whistle on actually what your views are. At least we're starting.

[Glenn Beck]

We need to move Oregon from Oregon.

[RFK Jr.]

I will do nothing as HHS secretary. That makes it difficult or discourages people.

[Glenn Beck]

From taking anybody who believes that. On a look at the measure measles.

[Stu Burguiere]

Book you wrote saying parents have been.

[Glenn Beck]

Misled into believing that measles is a deadly disease. That's not true.

[James Comer]

We need to move on.

[Stu Burguiere]

Senator Grassley, again, these things could be interesting if people actually wanted answers.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, but they're not.

[Stu Burguiere]

They don't. They just want to say their thing.

[Glenn Beck]

Right?

[Stu Burguiere]

And it's the same with every one of these hearings. You know, Republicans are helpful to RFK Jr. Democrats are just giving a bunch of, you know, talking points against him and saying how evil he is. You get very little out of these things.

[Glenn Beck]

You're sitting in that chair and it's in a electric chair. It just. Can they turn the juice up enough to kill you? Can they just. That's all they're trying to do. They're trying to stop it and the other side's just trying to get it passed. Yeah, nobody's actually looking for truth. I would like to hear, you know, the truth. I'd like to find out the truth. The stuff that they, they have been talking about. I mean, you know, I have no problem with vaccines at all. I mean, I had vaccines. I had the polio oral vaccine when I was a kid, yada yada. Those vaccines have been in, you know, since the 1950s and we're fine. When we started requiring 80 vaccines, that's when other things started to happen. There is no reason why my kid needs a hep A and hep B at birth. They have zero chance of getting that. Zero. Zero. So why do they need that at birth?

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, I mean, it's obviously to protect you the rest of your life. But. Yes, I know you're saying it's.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, but we don't, we don't need to put all of that stuff into our infant children's arms, in my opinion.

[Stu Burguiere]

Totally.

[Glenn Beck]

You should be able to say, no, I don't, I don't want that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Of course.

[Glenn Beck]

And. And you shouldn't be called an anti vaxxer for saying that.

[Stu Burguiere]

And of course, this is the easy solution. Right? I mean, the bottom line is the easy solution is let people make decisions as to what they do in their own lives.

[Glenn Beck]

Why does my infant need to have, you know, a vaccine for chickenpox? We used to have chickenpox parties. Hey, my son or daughter has chicken.

[Stu Burguiere]

Do people really have them?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Get it out of the way. Essentially we just want them as an.

[Stu Burguiere]

Adult, as a. I mean, you know, vaccines were created, right, like by scraping wounds and like that's the initial use of them. Was that the history and the party thing is essentially the same idea. Right. Look, just go through. You're getting into, I think, a level of specificity that is unimportant at some level. Whatever your views are, whatever my views are on this stuff, I think the concern is with him, RFK is he has had activism to stop others from doing things. That was one of the things they just asked him about it. They said, hey, you try to prevent people. He filed a lawsuit to prevent people from getting access to these vaccines that they wanted to take. And he said, well, they shouldn't have wanted to take them, basically because we've shown that it was unnecessary.

[Glenn Beck]

It was the COVID vaccine.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's the example they used. Although, you know, again, he's been an advocate against this a long time.

[Glenn Beck]

But he was specifically talking about children, you know, six year olds. Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

But of course, as you're talking about you want to make decisions for your children, you should be able to make decisions for your children.

[Glenn Beck]

Except when, except when you don't like them. No, no, no. Except when we don't. We had none of the. The government. Yeah, the government should not have put that out for children. They were not at risk for having Covid. My problem is, is that they endorsed it. They said you have to have it. They were pushing, pushing, pushing, not letting anyone with a different opinion pop their head up. If it is, that's different. All of the stuff. Yes. If all of this stuff is out there and you have the freedom to read it yourself, not be called an anti vaxxer, not, not called a child killer or a grandma killer because you don't want your kids to have the COVID vaccine, then I don't care. I don't care. Do your own homework.

[Stu Burguiere]

No one can prevent that. No one can prevent you be being called an anti vaxxer when you know, you have to shrug that off and just care about it.

[Glenn Beck]

Right. I think you're talking about losing government job. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

When you're talking about lose getting kicked out of the military because you don't want to take these things.

[Glenn Beck]

When the government is pushing it with the pharmaceutical companies, that's the biggest thing that has to happen. Pharmaceutical and the United States government, they have to be separate. They cannot have this cozy relationship. They can't spend most of their money, you know, working to pass things for the fda, for, for these pharmaceutical companies.

[Stu Burguiere]

But I mean, he's going to make recommendations about whether things should be utilized or not.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's, I mean, central to his role. Right. If he gets confirmed. And I think we as Americans just need to have the right to say, yeah, I don't care what you say. Like when they give us the food pyramid and I want to eat non stop French fries, I should be able to do that. Now he did make a comment, by the way, in this thing, basically saying, hey, my boss really likes diet Coke and hamburgers from McDonald's. You should be able to eat them if he wants, which is a really good sign. And I think if that's the way he winds up doing this job, he'll be fine. I do think it's important for Trump to have somebody, I would argue maybe a staff of people looking at what he's doing on a daily basis, because many of we all know what his ideas on health are when it comes to, let's say, fossil fuel emissions.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes. Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

There's a lot of things that Worry me about RFK2. Do I think we could do better? Yes. However, if he does the job the way he's saying he's doing the job here, he'll be fine.

[Glenn Beck]

I think Trump is gonna keep him on a tight leash. He knows who he is.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

You know what I mean?

[Stu Burguiere]

I think he does.

[Glenn Beck]

And he has said that, you know, he is in for a specific job, and that's the job I want from him. If he starts getting into global warming, I mean, all of that stuff, Trump will stop that immediately and pull it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I think that's true. I mean, like, you know, you look back at some of his previous views, you can find all sorts of problems with them. You know, he was kind of praising the COVID lockdowns because of the effects it had on pollution. Right. And he was worried that after the COVID lockdowns, which he, by the way, stated was helping to stop the spread of COVID 19, he was in favor of them, but eventually, obviously turned around on that position. What does he believe today? He's got lots of changes. You went through an entire hour with.

[Glenn Beck]

I talked to him about that. He said he was fine with the lockdowns at first, and then he saw how. How unbelievably draconian and fascist or communist it had become.

[Stu Burguiere]

And he's not alone.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, he's not alone. You were fine at the very beginning, you know.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know if we were fine, but when.

[Glenn Beck]

When the. When the government said, stay home, we don't know what we're doing, I thought that was a mistake for the economy. I thought it was going to cost us real problems.

[Stu Burguiere]

Sure.

[Glenn Beck]

But that seemed reasonable at first. You know, what was it, 15 days to slow the spread when it. When it came past Easter, like, this is not good. This is not good. And a lot of people began to wake up, and that's a really good thing. And that's what he says was his turning point on big government.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. And that's if he's had that real transition. I mean, he obviously was still running for president against Donald Trump and advocating for A lot of big government positions. So, I mean, I don't think the skepticism as deep as maybe we find it.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

But in this particular role, if he happens to be. If he does the role the way he's kind of saying he will do it, and my belief is he will kind of have to because Trump will force him to. I don't know that that's inside of him at all, frankly. But Trump will fire the guy if he sucks. So if that. As long as he goes into this with an idea of like he's got some really good things he's talking about, some things I really support.

[Glenn Beck]

Support.

[Stu Burguiere]

But I got to watch him like a hawk.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

As long as that happens.

[Glenn Beck]

I've had conversations with the president that has made it very, very clear he's in for one job.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's good.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Just a matter of how he executes that job.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes, it is. All right, Back in just a second. You know, I have always run my company and my life by surrounding myself with people that are smarter than. Than I am. That's not difficult. But if you do that, especially in places where you're not an. You don't know, you know, if I. If somebody, you know, wants to come in and tell me how to use, I don't know, something as complex as a microphone, you put it in front of your face. I don't think they have a lot to teach me, but almost everything else in life, I can learn a lot. When it comes to real estate, I knew nothing. I started working with the 500 Best Real Estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. And I learned from them. I asked them questions. I found there is a common thread that runs through all of the really good real estate agents. They know the best practices. They understand the housing market. They understand their market, their team leaders, their closers. They understand the new way of marketing your house. They're the people, usually with the biggest website in the area, because that way people are trafficking it all the time, and they're looking for a house like yours. We started to put this company together years ago, Real estate agents. I trust.com to give you access to those people. I don't charge you for this service. All you have to do is tell us where you are moving to and where you're moving from. We will recommend the ones that we have vetted and felt really are the ones that you can trust. Real estate agents. I trust dot com. That's Real estate agents. I trust dot com. This is Glenn Beck.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, you've heard Me talk about a crime the FBI calls house stealing. It's also known as title fraud. And if you own a property or you have maybe, I don't know, invested your life's work and the fruits of that labor, labor into a home, you don't want that equity to be at risk. And it is at serious risk. This fast growing crime is a serious problem for property owners. A California district attorney said recently that known title fraud attempts over the past year and a half have jumped from zero to almost 80. It's because the payoff is so big. Honestly, it's just one of those things that if you successfully pull this off as a scam, you could get hundreds of thousands of dollars. So even if you fail most of the time, for some cyber thief, it's really worth. And we're talking about all of your property becoming their property. That's not what you want. Home Title Lock has triple lock protection to protect you against this. They provide 24,7 monitoring of your title, urgent alerts of any changes.

[Glenn Beck]

I gotta tell you, Michael Bennett from Colorado, the Democrat, is speaking now. Can we listen in a little bit?

[Pat Gray]

Questions? Yes or no? I've tried to ask these in a manner that's faithful to what you actually said because I didn't want to have a debate about whether you actually said them. So I'm asking you yes or no, Mr. Kennedy. Did you say that COVID 19 was a genetically engineered bioweapon that targets black and white people. People, but spared Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people?

[RFK Jr.]

I didn't say it was deliberately targeted. I just. I just quoted an nih, funded an NIH published study.

[Pat Gray]

Did you say that it targets black and white people but spared Ashkenazi?

[RFK Jr.]

I quoted a study, your honor. I quoted an NIH study that showed that.

[Glenn Beck]

Take that as if he's quoting a study.

[Pat Gray]

Did you say that Lyme disease is highly likely, a materially engineered bioweapon. I made sure I put in the highly likely. Did you say Lyme disease is a highly likely militarily engineered bioweapon?

[RFK Jr.]

I probably did say that.

[Pat Gray]

Did you say that that's what the developer of bioweap. I want all of our colleagues to hear.

[Glenn Beck]

Mr. Kennedy, I mean, Bennett, he just, I'm sure he's not a dope, but he, I mean, he sounds like Hirono a little bit, don't you think?

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, just amazing in there. Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Okay, George, I got a mouse in my pocket.

[Pat Gray]

Did you write in your book? And I. It's undeniable that African American, African AIDS is an entirely different disease from Western AIDS. Yes or no, Mr. Kennedy?

[RFK Jr.]

I'm not sure if I made.

[Pat Gray]

Okay, I'll give it to the chairman. Mr. Mr. Kennedy, and my final question. Did you say on a podcast, and I quote, I wouldn't leave it abortion to the states? My belief is we should leave it to the woman. We shouldn't have the government involved, even if it's full term. Did you say that, Mr. Kennedy?

[RFK Jr.]

Senator, I believe that every abortion is a tragedy.

[Pat Gray]

Did you say it, Mr. Kennedy? Kennedy matters. It doesn't matter. What you come here and say. That isn't true. That's not reflective of what you really believe that you haven't said over decade after decade after decade. Because unlike other jobs we're confirming around this place, this is a job where it is life and death.

[Glenn Beck]

Speaker 1 is Bennett, pro life that.

[Pat Gray]

I used to work for in the Denver Public Schools. They asked families all over this.

[Stu Burguiere]

They asked the question earlier. They're trying to frame him, actually, as a guy who may ban abortion, but I think what they're trying to do here is tickle the ears of pro life senators who might be like, wait a minute, he said that? Which again, as a pro life person, it does bother me. I just don't think that he's saying he won't do those things.

[Glenn Beck]

Trump, if he said, you know what, all abortion all the way up to birth, Trump's not gonna let him do that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Of course. I mean, he had no power to do that either, by the way.

[Glenn Beck]

Not going to happen.

[Stu Burguiere]

The real question when it goes to this, and again, I don't know if you care enough on this, but like I know you do as far as the issue. But I'm saying generally when it comes to his approval, when Trump came into office the first time he went through HHS and he Hired people who like a hawk, went through and found funding for abortion that was going overseas, things like that. He eliminated it.

[Glenn Beck]

Correct.

[Stu Burguiere]

Biden came in, put it all back into, put it all back into effect. The question is, will RFK Jr. As a guy who has been pro choice his entire life, is he going to doggedly search for such things? Is he going to reverse those Biden initiatives? I mean, it's not his priority. Will he just do what Trump wants? I mean, that's what he's kind of saying he will. So I hope that's true.

[Glenn Beck]

I think he will. Cuz Trump is going to give him room to run in. Show me the evidence, come back to me within the first two years and tell me why you think the best science out there. Why are we getting so sick? Why? What is our food doing to us? What are our vaccines actually doing to us? Why are we so sick? That's what Trump wants. The rest of it. The Trump dogs, I believe will be on. I mean Trump is, has shown him himself to be very, very aware of where the bad guys are hiding. This is Glenn Beck. Stand your ground when times get down Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello America. There is a lot to talk about. First of all, Donald Trump just offered, you know, a golden parachute to anybody. Anybody. You're probably going to be fired. Anybody want to jump out of the plane now, I'll give you a parachute. Otherwise I'm going to start shoving bodies out. I think, I think they should take it. But we'll talk about this because it is tied directly to Elon Musk, as is something else that happened that I think has the fingerprints of Elon Musk, but I don't know. And that is the federal government freezing most forms of financial institutions assistance, freezing it for 90 days. Okay. On the surface, when you are $4 trillion over budget, probably not a bad idea. Can we hold off for 90 days and let's see what we're spending. However, you know, Meals on Wheels, I don't know if they were involved, but you know, any government assistance from Meals on Wheels, that's not gonna that, you know, really. I mean, unless Meals on Wheel, Hamas. Anyway, we'll get into that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. We begin the show in 60 seconds. Thank God we have a pro Israel president back in the Oval Office. One among many of the reasons I'm actually happy that Donald Trump is, is in office. When he appointed Mike Huckabee, did you see what one of the first things Mike Huckabee said and did? No longer the West Bank. We will no longer call it the West Bank. It's Judea and Samaria.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's great.

[Glenn Beck]

That's huge. As Christians, we need to recognize our brotherhood with the Jews. We want to help them in their time of need. And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is doing their part, not only in helping remember, but also providing food, shelter, and safety to Jews in Israel and around the world, including those remaining Holocaust survivors. It was International Holocaust Remembrance Day last Monday. Will you donate today? You'd be helping to provide food, water, medicine, basic necessities to Jewish communities.

Supportifcj.org okay, where should we begin, Stu? I guess should we start with the. The Golden Parachutes?

[Stu Burguiere]

Ah, yes, the email.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, this is Doge entering the chat like, this is at.

[Glenn Beck]

Do.

[Stu Burguiere]

Doge has turned this. I don't know if it's a fully powered battle station quite yet, but it's. It's definitely powering up.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, it's. I mean, I think we're not far away from a million voices crying out and then suddenly being silenced.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's kind of one of those things because this is straight out of the Twitter playbook from Elon Musk.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, it starts the same way. In fact, we have the Fork in the Road tweet. Okay, so let me show you the. The Fork in the Road is. Is an art piece that Elon Musk. Musk, I guess, financed in the. It looks like it's in the middle of nowhere. Looks like a giant road and a giant fork sticking out of it.

[Stu Burguiere]

I had no idea this part of it.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, this is real.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, I know the phrase he put a fork in a road.

[Glenn Beck]

He put a giant. He had a road built where it wise off and there is a gigantic fork sitting in the middle of it. So this is a thing with him.

[Stu Burguiere]

Kind of a fork in the fork.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Because the road forks by itself when it turns into the Y. But it's a fork in the fork.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes, thank you.

[Stu Burguiere]

So you don't have to bleep that stations. So you know, it feels close to it, but you don't have.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, you use the f Word a lot there.

[Stu Burguiere]

I did.

[Glenn Beck]

So when he went to Twitter, he put a, a fork in the road memo out that said, hey, I might want to get out out now because it's gonna be a different place here. So I'm giving you opportunity to bail right now, Just let me know. And he said at the very beginning, it's a fork in the road. They've just issued a memo that is almost exactly like it, except it's got a bunch of subsections, you know, one CB and you know, a little more legalistic. A little more legalistic, but, but Trump is offering people the money to not be hit with a giant fork.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, it's sort of two approaches. One is anybody who wants to leave right now will pay you to September. So we'll give you, that's very generous. Eight, nine month ramp here to get a new gig. If you don't want to work here, please go. And of course this combines with a hiring free. So the idea is, I don't know, 5, 10, 25% of people accept this deal and you shrink the government employment and then you don't rehire those people. This is a way you cut, this is the way he did it at Twitter. And then secondarily, it's sort of carrot and stick approach. The carrot is, hey, we'll pay you to September for no work. It's great for you. And then the stick is, by the way, if you stick around, we'll probably fire you anyway. That's kind of what the tone of it is. It is like, look, I'm sorry, if you stick around, we're really gonna be cutting, so it might be you.

[Glenn Beck]

This is what it actually says. During the first week of his administration, President Trump issued a number of directive directives concerning the federal workforce. Among those directives, the president required that employees return to in person work. Do you know what that number is? How many federal employees actually show up for work since the beginning of COVID 19?

[Stu Burguiere]

You know, I don't know the number. What is it?

[Glenn Beck]

Take a guess.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean we're now many, many years past COVID 19.

[Glenn Beck]

Glenn, what is the number of federal workers that are actually showing up for work?

[Stu Burguiere]

I have to guess. It's very low. But if I were just to guess without any pre knowledge, I would have to say it was like 60, right? I don't know. I mean, 40% of people not showing up seems significant.

[Glenn Beck]

The number of people not showing up to work is 94%. Only 6% of federal workers are showing up.

[Stu Burguiere]

Even with the knowledge that it was going to be a low number. I'm shocked by.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

6%.

[Glenn Beck]

6.

[Stu Burguiere]

No way.

[Glenn Beck]

It is 6%. Didn't you.

[Stu Burguiere]

Certain categories, I mean like you go to the Pentagon, right now it's 94% empty. That can't be true.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't know about the Pentagon. Okay, okay.

[Stu Burguiere]

So it might be certain areas of the government.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, I, I do know this also that the mayor of Washington D.C. said all of our businesses are dying and said this to Biden. You have got to get people to go back into those buildings or let those buildings loose. And let's bring other businesses into Washington.

[Stu Burguiere]

D.C. because we're holding them empty.

[Glenn Beck]

We're holding them empty. So there's no business on the street because nobody's coming in. So restaurants are going out, you know, shops just that aren't, you know, know, for tourists are all going out.

[Stu Burguiere]

Now if complete economic destruction happened to Washington D.C. would you be able to tell the difference? I guess the question, you were just.

[Glenn Beck]

There and I think if there was a raging wildfire, I'm not sure I could tell the difference. Among those directives, the president required employees to return to work in person. Restored accountability for employees who have policymaking authority. Let me. Hang on. I think I hear the knives sharpening here. Restored accountability for senior career executives and reformed the federal hiring process to focus on merit. As a result of the above orders, the reform of the federal workforce will be significant. One out.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. Take your out now and like it does a couple of things.

[Glenn Beck]

I would.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's interesting because I mean he sent it to everyone, basically said none of you are essential. Any one of you can be replaced. Which is a message. You send an important message. You're not too important. Essentially. I know you've worked here for three decades and you're a career employee and all that. That doesn't mean anything anymore. Okay. That's one message it sends. It also sends a message, I think too if you put yourself in a position of you're someone on the left who got into government because you have left leaning ideas, you want to make sure government. It's true, you can't think of a.

[Glenn Beck]

Reason on the right why to get into government except to stop people on the left.

[Stu Burguiere]

And that is a real problem because it's the same thing with universities. Like, you know, we don't, we don't go in there and we don't mix it up in those areas and then they take them over.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

But let's say you're, let's say you're still Someone who leans left. You know, you get in there because you want to make, you think you support all these big taxes and big government programs and you're working on administrating them. And now you realize, okay, Trump's coming in, he's gonna try to cut this anyway. Do I really wanna be here, support, like cutting people and not distributing this money, I think is so important? Maybe I do just take it, right. Just because I'm opposed and I don't wanna go through this agenda, I don't wanna be responsible for these evil cuts. So maybe I just take the money and leave.

[Glenn Beck]

I think if you're a career politician or a career, you know, government worker, if you've put in your time and they're going to give you, you know, really good exit package, I don't know if you're, if you've been there for 25 years. Do I get, do I get my pension? Do I. Yeah, you probably do. Yeah. So, you know, I would, I would definitely look at it if I had been there for a long time, I'd be like, I think I'm getting out now. Because you just don't know. Yeah, I mean, you know, Vivek Ramaswamy said we should just say, everybody with an od, odd Social Security number and ends in an odd number, you're fired.

[Stu Burguiere]

What helps him here? Because there are dumb protections built into some of these places for civil service types that makes it sometimes difficult to fire them. And this is sort of like the self deportation option when it comes to the border. Right? You go, just you take it. It's optional for you. And if they do that, you not only will likely get rid of more people that are trying to thwart your efforts, because they're typically going to be more likely to take that deal, but you also get a good portion of your cuts done without having to make the cuts. There are some legal questions to this and of course it's going to get challenged. There is a clause, I think it's in the Homeland Security act that allows the government to offer employees $25,000 to resign essentially if they want to make cuts. Cuts. So that much of it is pretty much straightforward, protected. When you say all the way to September, some of those numbers will go above $25,000 and there they might get legal challenges.

[Glenn Beck]

That's amazing. Yeah, people would challenge it. They're giving us more money.

[Stu Burguiere]

You're giving me too much money.

[Glenn Beck]

That'll never happen.

[Stu Burguiere]

But in reality, what it is, of course, is the left doesn't want these employees to go away. They don't want the government of the size of government to shrink. So they'll find any legal loophole they can to challenge what he's doing.

[Glenn Beck]

Going to be fascinating to see the conversations of people right now in Washington, D.C. that, that, are those die hards? I mean, because he's doing exactly what he's doing on the border to the government. He's, he's, he is. We're coming for the bad guys and we're going to cut. There's no more fooling around. There's a new sheriff in town and he hopes, just like on the board, he's going to get the bad guys. But a lot of people, as you just said, will self deport. I just, I don't want any part of it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I don't want any part of it.

[Glenn Beck]

I just, I just.

[Stu Burguiere]

Not to mention nine months of pay. Right. Combine that, if you happen to be an entrepreneurial type of leaving a job, getting paid for nine months and then getting another job.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, if you could get, I mean.

[Stu Burguiere]

It could be great for your finances.

[Glenn Beck]

If you had another job. If you knew you could get another job, you'd be stupid not to take it. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

To get paid for nine months for doing nothing. Now, of course, it's taking it out of our pockets, which I'm not exactly thrilled about, but if he gets enough term, it's great.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. If he gets enough people, it's like 100 or $150 million a year is what they're expecting to get out of this. That's a lot of savings.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, it's a drop in the bucket, unfortunately.

[Glenn Beck]

No, I know, But I know $150.

[Stu Burguiere]

Million a year is a pretty small.

[Glenn Beck]

Is that, was it a rate million or billion? I have to look that up.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Because as I said that I'm like, you know, you don't pay attention. Million, billion, million, billion. Just doesn't matter anymore.

[Stu Burguiere]

Just wait till the quadrillions hit. Then you'll know. Oh, then you'll know.

[Glenn Beck]

And million will seem like, you know, it's like it, you know, it used to be like they're a millionaire. And then it became they're worth like $100 million. And then it became they're a billionaire. Yeah, it's going to be soon. They're a trillionaire.

[Stu Burguiere]

You knew we crossed that line when Bernie Sanders needed to take millionaires out of his speeches because he used to say millionaires and billionaires and now he just says billionaires because he's a millionaire. Yeah, and it's like hilarious that Mr. Socialist.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

With his multiple houses. Can't even criticize millionaires anymore because he's.

[Glenn Beck]

Most likely a millionaire.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

How does a socialist get that?

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean he's making a decent six figure salary and has been forever. He's got multiple houses. Just the equity in those homes, I'm sure makes him a millionaire. You know, I mean he's pretty, he wants to spend everyone else's money. If he spends like that, I guess in his own life, he doesn't seem to be all that. He doesn't seem to take advantage with like fancy cars or anything like that that we know of. But he's got a couple nice houses. He's gonna need those. He saves on hair products, that's for sure.

[Glenn Beck]

By the way, Glenn, it is a billion 100 to $150 billion saved.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes. Okay, thank you. I thought it was billionaires and I said million and I'm like, no, it could be million. But that's not impressive. Anyway, I was busy Thinking about Snow White. I saw the poster for that walking into the movie theater. I want that thing to bomb unlike anything else.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's just. It's just so. She's been so in everybody's face about how much she hates this country. He just despises conservatives or anything religious or. I don't know. I can't remember all of her comments.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, all of it.

[Stu Burguiere]

They haven't been good.

[Glenn Beck]

No, no. And the, the, you know, when you go back into production like three times for a movie, usually doesn't turn out well. Usually doesn't turn.

[Stu Burguiere]

No, no, that's true. Like, you know, I heard there was like. Oh. People were like, oh, gosh, Wicked is this woke thing and.

[Glenn Beck]

No, this one is.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, this one really is. I think the woke Wicked didn't seem to be particularly woke. It just seemed like it was a Broadway situation. But it did very, very well. And people really liked it. Apparently. Apparently. This one doesn't seem like people like. Like it.

[Glenn Beck]

The only woke thing in Wicked that I have found is in one of their songs where they say you're a, you know, it's a popular communicator. Yeah, popular. You know, or a great communicator. Does that make you smart? No. Something like that.

[Stu Burguiere]

It just means you're popular.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Just means you're popular. Yeah. And that's.

[Stu Burguiere]

You told me about Reagan.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

It drives me nuts again, because that's when it came out. I don't think people took that, though, from it these days.

[Glenn Beck]

No, they don't. It was just time capsule when it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Was written, you know, and that, of course, none of this adds up to the Emilia Perez movie that's out. This is that.

[Glenn Beck]

Did you hear? I. I read this story. We haven't had a chance to even talk about it, and I haven't really read the story deeply, but did you hear that people in Mexico were suing to get their money back?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, because it kind of has some anti Mexico stuff in it.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Like, it kind of mocks them. I believe it, like, says, oh, I could tell he was Mexican because he smelled like avocados or something like that. Like, there's lines like that in it. I mean, it's supposed to be this sort of like, you know, sassy take on whatever the hell they're trying to. Whatever story they're trying to tell you. We played a clip of it when it came to the gender stuff, which was horrible. I mean, beyond, like, ideology in movies is bothersome. The problem there was more that it was just the worst movie I've ever seen in my life.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't.

[Glenn Beck]

Horrible. It was so horrible. Horrible.

[Stu Burguiere]

Poorly done. And in the fact that she's getting nominated for awards and stuff like.

[Glenn Beck]

You mean he.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh yes. This is the trans. Yeah, that's right. That's just obviously advocacy.

[Glenn Beck]

We have Craig T. Nelson joining us here in just a second. And I want to play. He's in a new movie called Green and Gold and I don't want to waste a minute with him playing the trailer. So here's the trailer for the movie he's in. Listen, for my grandpa, Buck farming wasn't a job. Easy, easy. It was a sacred act.

[James Comer]

I couldn't do farming anymore.

[Caroline Levitt]

I was on my way out for some bigger dreams.

[Craig T. Nelson]

This ain't your land.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, when you don't pay your loan, it becomes my land. How much do we owe the bank? I will make a little wager with you. Pack.

[Stu Burguiere]

Go all the way.

[Glenn Beck]

I will give you another year interest free.

[Cash Patel]

If they lose, you sign every over to me.

[Stu Burguiere]

Take it.

[Glenn Beck]

Your granddaughter's really talented. Yeah, I know that.

[RFK Jr.]

You dirt her and I will gut.

[Glenn Beck]

You like a ten pointer. Great.

[Craig T. Nelson]

You go chasing your hopes and your dreams and you forget who you are and you lose everything that's wild and free.

[Stu Burguiere]

You still believe in what we're doing more than anything.

[Glenn Beck]

Called Green and Gold. It is about a farmer that bets the farm on the outcome of a green. Green Bay packers outcome. And his granddaughter is. Wants to get as far away from there as possible. I mean, it's a story that at least I grew up in a small town. It's kind of the same story. I didn't want to be around my grandfather's farm, but now I realize my grandfather's farm was. Was probably the best place I could have ever been. And I would kill to live at my grandfather's on my grandfather's street the way it used to be with farmers. And we are losing farms like crazy. And this has been a passion project for Craig T. Nelson. It started out as a, you know, an independent, very inexpensive film. And he got on set the first day and says, we need more cameras and good cameras take it out of my wages. And so it is high passion for everybody involved in this because they believe we're losing our farmland. Green and Gold. We have Craig T. Nelson on with us next. This is Glenn. Becky. You know, if you're going to do something, do it right. Do it right the first time there's a company. You know, I work with so many companies that advertise on this program and I select them, I can turn them down. And I turn down more business than we take. Cozy Earth is one of those companies. I didn't know anything about Cozy Earth. I didn't find out until I came home after my first meeting with Cozy Earth that my wife is like, yeah, I have their pajamas. And I'm like, oh, those pajamas, they're really, really soft. Cozy Earth, what they bring to the table is just luxury. Like nothing. Their pajamas, their bath products, their bedding is just off the charts great. Oprah even says it's true. Her favorite thing seven times, Cozy Earth. Oh, great. This is luxury that is affordable. It's luxury because the quality and the craftsmanship and the way this company operates, it's really a great company. Company, the kind of quality that you'll only find, you know, in really rich people's houses or top hotels. But you can have it in your house because if you use the promo code beck, you'll save 40%.

All right. Welcome to the program. We're glad you're here. We have him on. Let me do a commercial real quick here so I can get it out of the way because I don't want to interrupt our, our conversation with Craig T. Nelson. And we're waiting for him to hop on the phone. We're having a problem with his end of the phone. Let me talk to you about American Finance Financing. You know, banks look at us as numbers, names on a sheet, nothing more. Banks, credit card companies, the government, faceless entities that want nothing more than your money and don't really care about what you're getting. Is it good for your family? You think the IRS really cares? I would make an exception when I talk about banks. I would say American Financing, you know, which is a loan service company. They work with the banks, but they don't work for the banks. They work for you. And you are not a number to them. If you're a homeowner and you want to get out from under debt, that high interest debt, all you have to do is call American Financing at 8009-062448-00906-2440 or American Financing.net nmls182334 nmlsconsumeraccess.org APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well qualified borrowers.

[Stu Burguiere]

Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

[Glenn Beck]

I think the last time I talked to this guy, he was. He talked to me while I was doing the CNN TV show. I'm not sure he is. He has become. I mean, he writes, he directs, he produces, he's an actor. He is somebody that has grown from just an actor that you might see on television to done some incredible things. He's currently doing Papa in Disney's Disney Juniors animated series, Pup Struction. He's reprising. Or is it reprising? Reprising his role as Dale Ballard from Young Sheldon in its upcoming spin off George and Mandy's first marriage. He was zeke Braverman in NBC's Parenthood. He was in movies like the Family Stone, Poltergeist. Forgot about that. The voice of Mr. Incredible, Hayden Fox in Coach. And he is now starring as Buck, a struggling Wisconsin farmer in the independent film Green and Gold. Welcome to Craig T. Nelson. Hey, Craig T. How are you?

[Craig T. Nelson]

Hi, Glenn Beck. How are you doing?

[Glenn Beck]

I'm good. I think the last time you were on the show. I apologize for wrecking your career by having you appear on my show, but you proved me wrong, you know, I wasn't a curse around your neck because you are. You are great. Just great.

[Craig T. Nelson]

Oh, no, thank you. I had such a great time with you. I, you know, it was, it was a lot of fun. I thought it was. I thought it was maybe Fox, but I'm not sure.

[Glenn Beck]

I thought so. I thought so, too, but Stu said it was cnn. I think it was Fox as well.

[Stu Burguiere]

Maybe it was. Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Because I remember you being very brave coming on the show. I remember going, this guy is over. He's never going to work a day again.

[Craig T. Nelson]

He's like, you were doing all those uncover and discover things, you know, we were getting into the deep state.

[Glenn Beck]

I know. Isn't it crazy how things have turned out now? Yeah, yeah.

[Craig T. Nelson]

I mean, it's like completely revealed, right?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, it is.

[Craig T. Nelson]

And anyway, I don't know, but I had so much fun with it.

[Glenn Beck]

Thank you. So I want to talk to you about the new film that's coming out, Green and Gold. This is a passion topic for me. I'm a rancher, and when I say a rancher, I own cattle and somebody else does all the work. So I'm not really a rancher, but I live in a small town, you know, half the year of about 400 people, and they're all farmers. And we're losing that way of Life and it is being destroyed. And that's what this film is about.

[Craig T. Nelson]

Yeah, yeah, it is. It's. You know, my family has a farm in South Dakota and they've had. It's been about 150 years been in the family. And then my wife has a family farm in South Dakota also, which is really. She comes from that environment. And it's one of those things that I think it goes unnoticed because the people that are employed in the task of doing the work don't have time.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Craig T. Nelson]

To get out and say, hey, look at us.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Craig T. Nelson]

You know, we're having a problem. And what happens is it just. They get turned, turned under like this, like the field. You know, they get plowed under and forgotten and at the shape. So this is, this is a movie about bringing that awareness. But also it's a bigger story than that, Glenn. It's about the heart and soul of who these people might be and are.

[Glenn Beck]

I think, I tell you, you know, Thomas Jefferson, when they were, you know, designing the. The jury, who's going to be in a jury box? And some of the founders said we should just have scholars, et cetera, et cetera. And he said, I trust people that have their hands in the dirt every day. I want the average person. And there is something about that. I think when we moved off of farms into cities, we lost a lot. A lot. And we're about to lose all of it, I'm afraid.

[Craig T. Nelson]

Well, we lose where we come from.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, but it's.

[Craig T. Nelson]

I think. Yeah, go ahead.

[Glenn Beck]

I was going to say it's also, though, an understanding. I mean, when you, when you grow up on a farm, you live on a farm. Farm. You, you, you know, where your food comes from, you know, the circle of life, you just, you just have a different. You, you know, you have to depend on God and your neighbor. I mean, it's just lessons that you don't get necessarily, you know, living in the suburbs or the city.

[Craig T. Nelson]

Yeah, exactly. And the values that they hold dear and that they, that they believe in are, you know, they're traditional and they mean something. They may be conservative, but for them and their lifestyle, it's reflected in how they deal with each other. And I think, I think all we can do. I think it's. It's great that we can somehow bring an issue to the floor that says something about these people and who they are.

[Glenn Beck]

Is it true? I read that by the end of the film, everybody. It was a passion project for everybody. And on day one, you walked in and said, hey, I Know, we're not putting a lot of money into this, this, but I think it should have, you know, different cameras or, you know, additional cameras, etc. Etc. And you just took it out of your, your salary because you believed in this so much.

[Craig T. Nelson]

Oh yeah, yeah. Well, they didn't have the money to do what they wanted to do. The cinema as you know, the scope of the movie is the land and the land is what endears ourselves to who these people. People are.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Craig T. Nelson]

And beauty of it and that kind of scope you need, you need processing and you need the ability to go out and shoot it.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Craig T. Nelson]

So they needed another camera. So I said, yeah, let's do that, you know. And boy, they did. They got a, they really got a. It's a beautiful film.

[Glenn Beck]

So looking. So, you know, we've, we've talked a little bit about, about message, but yeah, if you haven't seen the movie, you know, I have, but most people can't see it yet. Explain the plot, sell it to somebody who's like, okay, well I like farmers, etc. But sell the movie.

[Craig T. Nelson]

A fourth generation guy, kind of a crusty guy. Been, you know, he's got a farm that he's trying to farm organic and he doesn't use machinery. He's got some draft horses, but he has the best clover in the area and he's got the best cream and the best butter and he's proud of it and he's trying to make a go of it, but the milk prices are rising and falling and sure enough, he's gonna lose this place. And he's trying to hold it together. He's just trying to hold it together for his. Got a granddaughter who is working on the farm and he's, he's already lost a daughter to a dream that she had and he doesn't want to lose granddaughter. So he's got pretty tight clamps on him. And so it's a story of, it's a story of trying to keep something you love and making a mistake probably in that you're raising your granddaughter and then seeing the repercussions of that and also bringing a guy to faith that is I think one of those people that's hard to reach. So I really identified with it in that regard. It kind of covers a wide range.

[Glenn Beck]

I related to, I mean, I've had this conversation over and over again. My kids want to live in a city and I wanted to live in a city when I was a kid, but you know, we bought this ranch and I hope my kids will take it for generations because it, it is just a superior lifestyle. I think you just, it's just more rooted in reality. But, you know, sitting there looking at your kids and going, going, are they gonna take this? Especially if it's been in your family for, you know, generations. It's kind of the Yellowstone story really, without all the killing and stuff.

[Craig T. Nelson]

Yeah, without all killing and. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. With all the drug running.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, right. Yeah.

[Craig T. Nelson]

Yeah. No, this, yeah. It's about heart, you know, and it's also about trying to find it. And that's what it's. So I love about the movie.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, I want to thank you for coming on the program and enjoyed talking to you again. And thank you for your bravery. I mean you were brave when really no one was brave. Do you think things are changing or is it just going out of Hollywood?

[Craig T. Nelson]

No, I don't think things are changing, Glenn. I think, think what we're reading is, is in the Bible and, and what we're seeing is definitely coming about. It's, it's, it's quite frightening for me. But it's a wake up call, isn't it?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, it is. I tell you, I, I am still there. That we are living in. In those days, some of the. I feel like the Lord gave us a little bit of a pressure relief, but, but now it's up to us. I mean, he's only going to do what we can't do and we couldn't have averted that bullet, but he did. And, and now we're expected to do all the hard work and you know, it's, it's an amazing time to be alive.

[Craig T. Nelson]

It is. And we have to do the most with it and do what we can to, to get the message to people, you know.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Craig T. Nelson]

That we have to do something.

[Glenn Beck]

Craig T. Thank you very much. God bless you.

[Craig T. Nelson]

Good to talk.

[Glenn Beck]

You bet. Good to talk. Craig T. Nelson. The name of the movie is Green and Gold. It is coming to theaters nationwide on January 31st and I highly recommend it. It's really good. Several people on the staff and I have watched it and highly recommend it. Really, really well done and a great story that you will relate to. Green and Gold. Can't believe he used to be a top 40 disc jockey. But anyway, we still love him. Glenn Beck. We'll be right back. I had to look it up when Craig T. Nelson was on with us last. It was 13 years ago. It was on Fox and the headline the next day was craig T. Nelson Out Crazies, Glenn Beck on Fox.

[Stu Burguiere]

Talk about fake news. That's impossible.

[Glenn Beck]

They didn't know that at that time.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay, okay.

[Glenn Beck]

But remember, he was on, he was like, I don't, I don't know if I'm going to pay my income tax. And I kept trying to throw him lifelines, like, no, you really, I mean.

[Stu Burguiere]

Publicly should say you're going to pay your income tax. He's like, nah.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. And he was like, like, I. They're spending all this money that I don't agree with, and I have moral problems with it. Why should I pay my income tax? And that, of course, is crazy. But look where we are now, you know, and I have to tell you, I, I think there's probably a lot of people that are really upset. By the way, before I finish talking about, you know, how old he is now. He was 67 when he was on the program last time.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, wow.

[Glenn Beck]

He's 80. You believe that? All right, so RFK Jr. Is finishing his confirmation hearings. They're going to vote on him. I think he's going to get through. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

You interested in the percentages chances on these guys? So right now the markets are saying 89% chance for cash Patel to get.

[Glenn Beck]

A. Oh, that's good.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yep. 74% for RFK, which is pretty flat since the beginning of this year hearing. And then Tulsi Gabbard, 51 chance.

[Glenn Beck]

I think she's gonna have a hard time.

[Stu Burguiere]

Everybody else is in the high 90s.

[Glenn Beck]

Or above, so I think she's, I think she's the one that you might lose. And she's the one I really don't want to lose because she's going in with a charge of open them all up. Tell me exactly who the good guys and bad guys are, tell me what they've been doing with black ops. And she will. I mean, she's a lieutenant colonel and, and, and very, very American.

[Stu Burguiere]

I would not be surprised if she does not get through. I was looking at the, just the committee members. A lot of those people are not going to be. They're not.

[Glenn Beck]

Corin Collins. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Tom Cotton, I don't think a huge fan like Langford.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, if you, you go down to that, you get onto that committee because you are maybe a little leaning more the. Toward hawkishness.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Probably. And it just, it's going to be tough, I think, to get her through. Through. It's possible. I wouldn't be shocked. I think you'd need Democratic help. And if I were a Democrat, I would be probably thrilled with her nomination. Not because I think she's necessarily aligned with everything that I believe in, but probably better than you're gonna be able to do.

[Glenn Beck]

Nope. You would want to thwart that every way you could.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, she ran for president as a Democrat. How could. I mean, in your wildest dreams, you wouldn't believe Donald Trump would nominate a person like that to a major.

[Glenn Beck]

Correct.

[Stu Burguiere]

But, I mean, he's done it twice.

[Glenn Beck]

She sold us out. She sold us out. She is going to expose everything. I'm telling you, she has the most dangerous job. Cash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, possibly rfk, of course, Donald Trump. I mean, you're seeing people that are going in, and they are going to look in past the gates of hell and say. Say you come this way. I mean, they're going to expose things, and it's extraordinarily dangerous because they're all powerful people that they're going to expose. She is on the front line because that's all cloak and dagger. That's all in the shadows. All right, more tomorrow. This is Glenn Beck.
