This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello, you sick freak. It's Friday. Got a lot coming up for you. Let me first tell you about Jace Medical. I don't know if you know you're the same as me, but there are a lot of things that happened in the year of 2024 that I didn't have on my bingo card. You know what I mean? Especially the. What was it in December? It was like monkeys on the loose in Florida. Didn't have that one. Lots of things can happen somehow or another. All of the weird things, they're not done with us yet. All of the surprises aren't done. One thing you don't want to be surprised about is any kind of disruption in the supply chain when it comes to medicine. Are you prepared? You know, this is a great thing. Stu was talking to me about it the other day when he went on vacation. He forgot to take his Jace case with him. And he was like one of the kids get sick, he's running around trying to get stuff. You don't have to do that with a Jace case. It's a simple, reliable emergency supply of life saving medications. Put the control in your hands. It's not about fear. It's just about responsibility and, you know, being more efficient. Being prepared is the best way to protect your family and your future. Don't wait for the next headline to wake you up. Go to jace.com Enter the promo code Beck and make sure you have the right meds on hand the moment you need them. That's Jace.com promo code Beck. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. So as of yesterday, yesterday afternoon, the LA Times was reporting that at least five people have died in the fires raging across Los Angeles. Officials believe that the actual numbers are much higher than that. Thousands of homes have been destroyed. There is zero containment at this point. Over 130,000 people are under evacuation orders. The freeways are parking lots. It's absolutely out of control with it not even contained and heading towards Los Angeles. It is projected to possibly be the costliest wildfire disaster in history. Now, I mean, there's a tendency when things like this happen to rush to politics. And that is, that's understandable. There are questions that need to be answered. Why does this keep happening in California and why do the people of California keep putting up with it? Why is California never prepared? You would think California would be prepared for wildfires. Right. I'm going to address part of that first. But first let me tell you about Mercury One. As usual, one of the first responders there is Mercury One. We are collaborating with multiple partners to get food and supplies that those to those who need it most. We're working with churches on the ground. Yes, there are some. We're working with the nonprofits. If you would like to help the relief effort, go to mercury1.org and contribute to the relief effort. A lot of work that needs to get done and a lot of work that has to happen quickly, by the way. So, you know, and I'm gonna give you all the information on this later. In North Carolina, while the President is saying that he's gonna take care of everybody in Los Angeles, don't worry about it. He's checks are on the way and he's gonna, the government's gonna cover absolutely everything. While he was saying that, Mercury One was on the phone doing a transaction with several hotels to pay for people who have nothing and got their big 700 check from the government. They were being kicked out. And I think we've. I think, I think we've put them up now for another six or seven weeks. So, you know, what does it. What isn't used in California or they don't need in California, they still need in other Disaster areas, and we are there. So go to mercury1.org and help if you can. Now, many questions have to be asked and answered. Story came out yesterday, and I believe it's a pretty chilling example of what's to come in California if it continues to be, is crazy. And it's gonna be a blueprint for the rest of the country unless we all wake up. The story from the Daily Mail reads, quote, gavin. Governor Gavin Newsom's infuriating reaction after being asked why fire hydrants ran out of water during the LA fires. Now, the fire hydrants ran dry, uh, right as firefighters were going to try to contain the breakout. Now, this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it happened. And what was Governor Newsom's response? I'm gonna read the quote and try not to lose your breakfast when you hear it. Quote. Well, local folks are gonna have to try to figure that out. That's going to be determined by local authorities. Wait a minute. Hang on just a second. So the guy who holds the highest political office in California, who is constantly meddling in every single person's personal life, who loves big government, more than comfortable with the phrase, trust us. We're the government. We know better. We're here to help. The rubber meets the road. He's been doing all the deals with water, and he looks, has the balls to look at the camera and go, what do you want from me? You know, it's those guys. You talk to your local person. I have nothing to do with it. No, sir. That's not the way you people have set California up. California's water situation, I mean, we've talked about this for years. Years. We've talked about it. It is interesting to look at it because it is exactly what the Biden administration was doing with public private partnerships. It's all public private partnerships. And we've talked about this before. We start first started seeing these spoken out loud in places like the World Economic Forum, and then later federally canonized in an official White House document from the Biden administration. But what do public private partnerships have to do with water hydrants in the Palisades drying up in the middle of the most costliest wildfire disaster in American history? Well, I recently saw Anna Casparian send out a tweet on X, straight up dunking on Democratic leadership in California. She said the Democrats were responsible for this disaster. No more passing the buck, she said. Anna, quote, tweeted a video from an organization called More Perfect Union. The tweet from the video states, quote, one billionaire couple owns all the water in California. In 1994, the Resnick secretly seized control of California's public water supply. Now their Companies use over 150 billion gallons every year while working class people suffer under drought conditions. Now, the video goes on to demonize Resnick and the family and the business conglomerate for owning a vast amount of California water. Now, I'm not letting this California company off the hook, okay? But this is the response that always happens from the left. They treat corporations all across the spectrum the same way. And you see it in healthcare, food production, pharmaceuticals, on and on and on. It is never the government's fault. It's those damn corporations. It's always the corporation. Well, the corporations. You know, a lot of people were mad when Donald Trump said, you know, in the debate in 2016, well, how much taxes did you pay? He said, exactly the amount I was supposed to pay. Well, you didn't pay, you know, income tax on this or this. And he's like, you want me to pay more taxes? Then you have to change the law. I am operating in the system. You've gamed and everybody does this. So don't try to stick me out because I'm rich. This is the way the income tax code works. And he's right. Well, they're doing the same thing with these corporations. They make it so you can public, private partnership. They make it so you can go in and and game the system. And everybody's taken their share. All of you know why people aren't talking about Panama, the Panama Canal run by China. Now you know why that you never heard that? Because all of the politicians, most of them on both sides, were taking money from China. So they're never gonna say anything. But now that China is bad, now that that's been exposed, I'm shocked that Donald Trump is actually exposing it because it's going to expose the graft on all sides. And I'm happy about that. It's never the government's fault. May I propose maybe there's a little bit more to the story here. Let's stick with California water here. How did one family get into a position where they hold the keys to a vast amount of the state's water? Well, the video goes into it. Listen. In 1994, state water officials, water infrastructure contractors, and agricultural landowners with water rights arranged a secretive meeting at a resort in Monterey Bay, California. These groups, a mix of private companies and public agencies, rewrote California's water rules without any input from voters, taxpayers, or legislators. The new rules, called the Monterey Agreement or the Monterey Amendments were devastating for working Californians and great for agriculture billionaires. Okay, this is going to make you very, very happy. Let's stop here for a second. Is, is it really only good for the agricultural billionaires and bad for the voters? Were the giants of agriculture the only ones at this, quote, secretive table? No. Now they tried to make it, say, sound like, well, there was no legislator there. There was no government officials. Well, huh. It's interesting because corporations don't write laws. Or do they? Can you get things done without your congressman or senator being involved at all? Yes, you can. Through the administrative state. Exactly what conservatives have been saying about the United States government. This way there's no one to blame. The, the members of the California assembly can all say, I didn't have anything to do with this. And they didn't. They just set the system up to be run by a bunch of bureaucrats who can make the deals for them. So who was joined in this secret table conversation? State water officials, that's who. So in 1994, the Resnicks didn't twist their mustachios while simultaneously screwing over the state. And I'm going to tie Nell to the, to the railroad tracks too. They were given this deal. They were made public private partners with the lawmakers in California. Now after this deal was struck, water control in times of shortage went to the agricultural conglomerates and, and fir the first, and then the urban areas like the Palisades second. You got a problem with that? Well, who are you going to take it up with? The unnamed water officials that made this deal? No, it should be with the elected officials. So there's someone you can go to and say, wait a minute, you made this deal. This is a corrupt deal or this is a deal not in the best interest of the people. We're voting you out. But see, progressives don't like accountability. Progressives make it so the agencies have all of the power. Is this California? Is this starting to maybe come together now for you? You starting to understand that's why we say the deep state is bad. Because they can get into all these public private partnerships and do deals and no one is accountable for it. And then when it falls apart, then when people die, that's when all of the government officials come out with their, with their cronies in the media and say, wow, we had no idea. This is wrong. Those Resnicks bad? Well, they might be. I don't know, they might be bad. But who sat at the table and put that deal together? All right, more in just a second. First, let's talk to Stu about Prize Picks.
- [15:35]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, we're going to talk about prize picks, huh? Well, I love Prize Picks. Can you hear me? I'm glad you can hear me.
- [15:39]
Glenn Beck
I can hear you. Yeah.
- [15:40]
Stu Burguiere
Good, yeah. Prize Picks is the number one daily fantasy sports app. It's got like millions of members. They've given out tons and tons of cash. The, of course, the playoffs going on this weekend. If you've never used Prize Picks before, it's really easy. You're basically going more or less in a few stat categories. You take a player that you like, you pick, are they going to get more or less than a certain number of yards or touchdowns or whatever? And if you string a few of those together, you can win up to a thousand times your money. This is available in tons of states now across the country. It's, you know, it's the daily fantasy app that you're going to absolutely love playing on a regular basis. It's Prize Picks. If you use the code stuff, they'll give you 50 bucks when you play a ticket that's only five bucks. You don't even have to win to get that $50. It's a $50 bonus just for playing your first $5 ticket. So check it out now the playoffs are here. It's time. Get involved. It's Price Picks. Run your game. 10 seconds. Station ID.

Glenn Beck
So all the money that is exchanging hands here isn't just good for the private businesses. Oh man, oh man. It is good for public lawmakers as well. Let's go back to the video. Cut to the Resnicks donate millions of dollars to politicians and research institutions which help them secure control over water systems and even get more water and more taxpayer funding. One important project is the proposed California Delta Tunnel, a taxpayer funded project which would send water from Northern California to Central where the Resnick's farms are. They've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on state and federal legislation and politicians who support the tunnel project. But their favorite politician is Senator Dianne Feinstein.
- [17:32]
Stu Burguiere
You come in here and you say.
- [17:34]
Glenn Beck
It has to be my way or the highway.
- [17:37]
Stu Burguiere
Chair of the Energy and Water Subcommittee.
- [17:39]
Glenn Beck
She'S a close personal friend of the Resniks, attending their holiday parties in Aspen and maintaining their financial interests.
- [17:46]
Stu Burguiere
A quick look through the bills she's.
- [17:47]
Glenn Beck
Sponsored shows several which would direct money to current adjacent water projects. The Resniks even ask her for things directly. When a pesky study about endangering salmon and shad fisheries threatened the Delta Tunnel, Stewart wrote a letter to Feinstein demanding A new study. She immediately forwarded it to the Obama administration who agreed to spend $750,000 on a new study. Yeah, Study came out the same way. So we saved the Chad Fisher fishes. I don't know. I know, I know that one of the reasons why Palisades is burning down is because we had to save the smelt. And who doesn't like a good smelt from time to time, okay, you buy the politicians, then you buy off the experts, you buy off the Senate, the scientists, and you put it all together and then you bring it to some bureaucrat and they shut down the water. That's what's happening in California. Oh, well, that and the fact that, remember one of the last forest fires was blamed on the electrical companies because they had a transformer blow and well, that just never happens. And it started a wildfire. And so what did they do this time when there was a wildfire? The electrical company said, we don't want to make this worse. Shut down the power. Well, when they shut down the power, that also shut down the pumps at the water pumping stations. So they couldn't pump any water if they had any water. And the. Gavin Newsom actually addressed this yesterday and he said, we've talked to the. We've talked to the White House and we're having generators shipped out here as fast as we could get. You don't even have generators at your water pumping station. What the hell? I mean, how did you not think this? How. What was your plan? I would love to see their plan, but this just explains. What you're seeing in California is exactly what is set up by the progressive left all over the country. It also explains how corrupt government officials and their crony relationships are destroying more than just California. It describes what's happened to American health care. It explains what's currently happening with big pharmaceutical companies, big food, the media, the border, the homeless, problem in blue states all across the country. See, California, that's what you're going to get. Public private partnerships are poisoning the soul of our country. They're also causing some to turn violent. The stage is being set for the coming insurrection, if you know what that means. I don't use that lightly. Taxpayers give their money to the government. The government then goes into business with private partners. The money and the profit stays in their lucrative little circle. But when anything goes south, who gets the blame? It's not the government. They get off scot free. Progressive leftists will pin the blame solely on the corporation or when it comes to water. Gavin Newsom tried To pin it on the local people? I don't know. You're gonna have to talk to the local. What does the local person have to do with the water coming out of the water? Fire hydrant? What do they have to do with that? They sit back and laugh over and over again. I think it's done. We're going in deep on this on Blaze TV very soon. But I think, I think this is a turning point. You know who had on their bingo card the complete and total destruction of the second largest city in the country as the turning point for progressives. And if they don't turn on this one man, what is it going to take? The moon coming crashing through your roof of your house that's been painted. Wake up. Would that, would that do it? Maybe space aliens, they took out their little drones and they spray painted the moon. Wake up. And California still didn't wake up. So they just started dragging the moon closer and closer and closer to your house in California. My gosh, Wake up. California. I think they are. I think they are. But will they just replace Gavin Newsom with somebody else exactly like this? Or will they start to wake up and say, wait a minute, our government is corrupt. It's making deals that don't actually help or represent the people of California. They may not have our best interest at heart. This is Glenn. Becky. So normally I like to sleep on a bed of money, covering myself with sheets and blankets of money. I call the treasury and I have, I say, don't cut the money up. I want sheets of hundred dollar bills that I could pull up right underneath my chin. I'm dressed in pajamas made of money as well. I've lost a lot of blood from the paper cuts over the years. But what is a little sacrifice of sleeping on a bed of money, you know, if you can sleep in such style? Well, clearly, you know, I don't know about you, but I've never slept on a bed of money. Cozy Earth's bedding, however, the pajamas, the bath products are designed specifically for you. Their products are soft, they're breathable, but they're not money.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Oh, who's not excited the sentencing is coming down any minute for Donald Trump and who's just not thrilled about that? What do you think is going to happen, Stu?
- [24:43]
Stu Burguiere
Well, it's tough for me to tell because I'm such a tingle right now, Glenn, waiting for this incredible moment of sentencing because this has been something that's so. You know, Glenn, the justice system is sacrosanct. It is sacred to our nation. It hasn't been abused in any way. And if Donald Trump didn't get a penalty here, then you'd be talking about a situation where the Justice Department didn't live up to its incredible reputation over the past few years. But I think if they can tell, I mean, they're not gonna put him in jail. All signs are they're not even gonna give him a fine. I don't think community service is gonna be the type of thing that the President's going to get. I mean, maybe you'll see Donald Trump in a yellow, in an orange suit on the side of the highway picking up trash. I wouldn't be shocked if they try to do that to him.
- [25:36]
Glenn Beck
Well, you've worked with McDonald's. Why not? There's nothing. But beneath him, apparently. So he could do that. This is, this is such, this is so amazing. Especially when you go. I went back last night and I was listening to some testimony in Congress back in July where they were, they were asking about the statute of limitations for any of these things. And it was, you know, a year. And the Congressman was like, well, so then how is that working? How are they doing this? And the way they explained it was, well, they just went around the statute of limitations and charged him with something else that isn't actually part of this case. And then they just didn't write it down for the jury or the courts. So they just said, yeah, he did this. And you didn't have to prove any of that.
- [26:34]
Stu Burguiere
As I was saying, sacrosanct.
- [26:36]
Glenn Beck
Yes, yes, right. I'm glad it didn't happen. I'm glad it didn't happen in some racist state like, well, all the states except for California, New York and Washington, D.C. which should be a state. Quite, quite honestly, man, some days, too.
- [26:54]
Stu Burguiere
It'S such a, it's such an embarrassment. And, like, this is their last attempt to, like, hold on to, you know, all of this meant something, right? They failed. They had four cases to go on three of them have basically completely failed now. And then they had this one where they. They got the conviction, didn't move the needle at all. They lost the election anyway. They've been embarrassed over and over and over again by the people involved in all of these cases. And like, this is their, like, last box that they can check before he becomes president again. And they can say, well, we did get a conviction.
- [27:30]
Glenn Beck
He.
- [27:30]
Stu Burguiere
I did hear. I heard it this morning on a news podcast. They said he will be the first president to ever take office as a convicted felon. Back to you. It's like that type of crap.
- [27:42]
Glenn Beck
That's all they're getting out of this. Thank you very much, Johnny. We're gonna take a look at the fire situation, which is caused by racists. Where was Lar Elder? Where was Larry Elder? We'll get into that a little later. And we should say. We should say that there's no firefighter that has told us that we have. There's no fire water for these fires. All right, let's go to our own reporter who's standing down there. Hey, Jackie. Hi. The firefighters just told us there's no water. I love it. We have to play that. Please get. Please get that. Where is it?
- [28:21]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, that's a real play.
- [28:24]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Play the cut that we have. I can't find it right now. Do you have it in the studios? Former LA mayoral candidate and real estate developer Rick Caruso criticizing the city's response to the windstorm and fires. You gotta have water. And my understanding is the reservoir was not refilled in time and in a timely manner to keep the hydrants going. So that's a failure. Whether on Dwarf Peace part or another.
- [28:49]
Stu Burguiere
City agency, despite what you have heard.
- [28:51]
Glenn Beck
From Caruso, no firefighters have told us that they are running out of water. Well, firefighters have told me they have no water on this block.
- [28:59]
Stu Burguiere
And you may be able to make.
- [29:00]
Glenn Beck
Out the ever storm that we're in.
- [29:01]
Stu Burguiere
The middle of right now, this house.
- [29:03]
Glenn Beck
Going to be a total loss. They have no water to put on this fire. They are standing by because they're trying to stave the home that is next to it. You know, I love the fact that there's, you know, there's. There's video of firefighters looking what. Using what looks like purses, women's purses. You know, can we fill this purse with water? You know, so they throw. They're throwing water and gum and, you know, other things that are the bottom of women's purses to put this thing out. Actually, those are on the water trucks and they're made for small, little, small fires. You know, if you don't have to pull out the hose, you use one of those ladies purse like things and you fill them with water. This isn't one of those scenarios where you would be using one of those purse like things. But it's the only thing they got. It's the only thing they got.
- [30:01]
Stu Burguiere
No.
- [30:01]
Glenn Beck
So that's, you know, makes me feel good.
- [30:03]
Stu Burguiere
It really does. And you feel bad because these firefighters are being heroic. Like they're going out there in the middle of impossible situations. Going to. Yeah. Going to with nothing even including water. And they're sitting there showing up to the correct place to fight the correct fire. And they can't have access to the most basic of elements in our, in our world. The most basic elements of life. They can't get water despite the fact a lot of these homes are a few blocks away from an ocean and they can't. I mean, it's unbelievable. These people are risking their lives. We have how many 10 confirmed dead already in these fires and good God, you know, that number's going a lot higher.
- [30:51]
Glenn Beck
Way. Way.
- [30:53]
Stu Burguiere
You hope not. But I mean, you know, it is, right? I mean look at, look at these communities. There's, you know, I don't know if maybe I'm unlike everybody else, but like last night I couldn't get off watching social media and watching all the clips from these poor, these fires, people driving by these homes. Yeah, it looks, it looks like what was promised during shock and awe back in the Iraq war.
- [31:18]
Glenn Beck
You know what it looks like? You know what it looks like? You should put a, we should put a side by side of the after of Nagasaki or Hiroshima.
- [31:26]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [31:26]
Glenn Beck
Because that's what it looks like. The aerial photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki look exactly like the aerial photos now of Los Angeles. And it's incredible that, you know, there's, they knew this was coming. Firefighters knew it's only a matter of time before LA burns to the ground. And it might. They have zero containment of this. How is it that, you know, did you hear Joe Biden with Kamala Harris yesterday and he was like, hey, so go ahead, let's do rapid fire. Fire away. What the hell?
- [32:12]
Stu Burguiere
Oh my God.
- [32:13]
Glenn Beck
What is our government doing?
- [32:14]
Stu Burguiere
And I know it's, it's politics and you know, we're not to the point yet, as you mentioned yesterday, where like you're gonna get into all the political stuff. We've talked about the causes of it. A lot of them are policy wise, but it's hard to imagine a more fitting end to the Biden presidency than the entire country on fire. Like, I don't know that there's any other way to explain what he's done over the past four years other than a city wiped out to the ground because it's on fire and the government can do nothing about it. That sounds about right.
- [32:48]
Glenn Beck
Here's the clip from yesterday. Listen, this. Madam Vice President, I know you're directly affected, so you fire away.
- [32:56]
Stu Burguiere
No pun intended. All right.
- [33:00]
Glenn Beck
Wow.
- [33:01]
Stu Burguiere
No pun intended, guys.
- [33:03]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, and so she. We know you're directly affected, so fire away. Go ahead. What do you got planned? I mean, you're. You have the biggest fire in American history, the most costliest fire in American history, and you're gonna be like, just, you know, you take it. Take it, girl. You got it. I got number two on this case. Oh, okay.
- [33:29]
Stu Burguiere
I like how to. This. Joe Biden continues to give her all the best jobs. Remember at the beginning, gave her the. The border czar, and hey, just fix the Ukraine situation. And now it's like, hey, this city's burned to the ground. You go, girl.
- [33:43]
Glenn Beck
Like, that's what she gets. It's so great. Let me give you this one. You know, yesterday we played the audio of the fire chief who just. There's not. There's never enough lesbians in any corporation.
- [33:59]
Stu Burguiere
Thank you.
- [33:59]
Glenn Beck
I know. She's like, we can never run out. We can never have too many lesbians and all for it. I. I prefer that they're good fire people, you know? You know, there's nothing like somebody who can do their job.
- [34:17]
Stu Burguiere
You're saying, good fire somebody. Lesbians.
- [34:20]
Glenn Beck
Well, no, I mean good fire people. Fire people. You know what I mean? If you're not good at your job, you should, you know, you shouldn't have that job.
- [34:30]
Stu Burguiere
I misunderstood you. So you're saying, fire people that aren't lesbians. I'll fire all the people that aren't lesbians. Yeah. Okay.
- [34:36]
Glenn Beck
I think that's the policy now in this is the. This is. I'm gonna place a body for you for the LA Assistant fire chief. So we know that the one that is in charge is. There's not enough lesbians. We can never get enough. Here's the female. I don't know if she's lesbian or not. Fire chief. Assistant friar. Chief. Listen to what she said.

Stu Burguiere
You want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call that looks like you, it gives that.
- [35:09]
Glenn Beck
Person a little bit more Ease knowing that somebody might understand their situation better. Is she strong enough to do this, or. You couldn't carry my husband out of a fire, which.
- [35:19]
Stu Burguiere
My response is he got himself in the wrong place.
- [35:21]
Glenn Beck
If I have to carry him out of a fire.
- [35:24]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, oh, oh, oh. It's our.
- [35:27]
Glenn Beck
Oh.
- [35:28]
Stu Burguiere
Did the people. I'm sorry, do the people in Palisades.
- [35:31]
Glenn Beck
Were they in the wrong place themselves into this situation? Stu, it's not her responsibility to haul your fat ass out of the couch.
- [35:39]
Stu Burguiere
I mean, it's actually more incredible than the diversity stuff. What kind of to say?
- [35:46]
Glenn Beck
I. I know, I know. I. I mean, I just like to remind you, when we have the world's biggest and fattest Americans, it's the fire people who take them out over the wall of their house. I mean, let's just remember that is part of their job. Well, he got himself into that situation. Trapped in a house that's on fire. Who does that? He deserves to die. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my. Now, you'll be happy to know she's not well paid. She only makes. She only makes $399,000 a year. Oh, my God. So, you know, and you get yourself trapped in a fire. That's your fault.
- [36:29]
Stu Burguiere
She's the assistant, too, right?
- [36:31]
Glenn Beck
She's the assistant. Yeah. No, she's not the head, but. And I don't know if she's a lesbian. She didn't seem like a lesbian lesbian, but she is in charge of the department's DEI bureau, so she's part of the DEI program. She. In fact, she. She leads it. She's. She's the leader of that pack. And I think that's. I think that's great. Although I think in Los Angeles, DEI is becoming a little more like Die, you know, does seem that some of the letters does. See, it does seem that way. Hey, if you can't get out of the house, I'm not gonna go in there. Risk for you. You're the one that got stuck in a building that's on fire. I think we all know it. Hey, are there some more lesbians around here? We need more lesbians. We need people that look like the people in the house because it'll give the people in the house more confidence that they're going to put that fire out. And I know, I know. If my house was on fire, be like, wait, wait, wait. Let me look at all of you.
- [37:35]
Stu Burguiere
Yep.
- [37:37]
Glenn Beck
Hang on just a second. Who sleeps with men? Who sleeps with women? Okay. All right. Great. Okay. Thank you. I feel confident now. You know, what gives me confidence when my house is on fire? Somebody who's putting my house out or has the guts to run in and save my wife, my children. These seven year old kids were sleeping in the upper bunk. I'm not hauling my ass up there to save them. They're first of all sleeping in the second floor. That floor could fall out underneath me at any time and then I gotta climb up a ladder. I don't think so kids, maybe next time you'll choose to sleep in the basement or by the front door in a house that's not on fire.
- [38:27]
Stu Burguiere
And plus, I don't want some adult coming to save me.
- [38:30]
Glenn Beck
I want a kid. I want another 7 year old. Kids are gonna look at me. Can they do that? They don't look like me. All right, good.

Stu Burguiere
To your house, your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call that looks like you, it gives that.
- [40:35]
Glenn Beck
Person a little bit more ease knowing that somebody might understand their situation better if you're strong enough to do this, or you couldn't carry my husband out of a fire, which my response is.
- [40:45]
Stu Burguiere
He got himself in the wrong place. If I have to carry him out of a fire I mean, he was the one smoking.
- [40:51]
Glenn Beck
I have to do an operation on.
- [40:53]
Stu Burguiere
Them because they've got lung cancer.
- [40:54]
Glenn Beck
I. I didn't smoke the cigarettes when they got COVID 19. What do you expect? You're dumb enough to get it.
- [41:06]
Stu Burguiere
That one's a little bit too real, Glenn.
- [41:09]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I know, I know.
- [41:10]
Stu Burguiere
The other thing. Can I point this out to progressives for just a moment? We want people who look like them picking them up from the fire. Not all black people look alike.
- [41:21]
Glenn Beck
What is this? That.
- [41:23]
Stu Burguiere
This idea that, like, it's so insulting. Like, if a guy who's 25 years old with huge muscles comes in to pick up the, you know, to come fix the fire, I'm not like, oh.
- [41:35]
Glenn Beck
That guy looks just like me.
- [41:37]
Stu Burguiere
He doesn't. Just because he's white doesn't mean he looks like me.
- [41:40]
Glenn Beck
I can't get out of the house because I'm fat. This is Glenn Beck. We have an amazing piece of work in the podcast this week. It's John Strand. I'll tell you about it here in just a second. As a gun owner, you know, you pull out a gun and you shoot to kill. And you have to be prepared and you have to be confident with it. However, there are situations where you don't want to pull your gun because it's not a lethal force, and you never want to point a gun at somebody unless you intend on killing them. 99% of the situations where you're in and you need force don't require a gun. Don't require shoot to kill. That's where Burna comes in. The burner launcher looks just like a gun, but it will put somebody down on the ground for 45 minutes. They are really great. They're legal in all 50 states, requiring no background checks or permits, no waiting periods. Everybody in my family has one. I urge them to keep it in their glove box or carry it with them at all times. You want to be safe and you want to be legal everywhere. It's Byrna B R n a.com glenn there's no paperwork to fill out.

Glenn Beck
Down the road where shadows hide Feel the dark on every side Stand your ground when times get dark Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glen Bay program. Hello, America. It's Friday, and we've got a lot of important stuff and some I think. Well, I guess, to be honest with you, it's Friday. We're screwing off. So we're gonna give you the information that you need, but we care so little that it could get a little out of hand. You know what I'm saying? We're kind of squirrely today, so we'll get into that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust dot com. If you've ever found yourself taking a good look around your house thinking, gosh, you know, I really got to sell, sell this place and move. And then you immediately have the follow up thought of, yeah, that's way too much trouble. I get it. It is a lot of trouble. I've moved because I'm in radio and couldn't hold down a job for a long time. And I moved from state to state estate. I moved tons of times. And I never knew how to find a really good real estate agent to help. Well, I learned the lessons and I started working with the 50 most. Or was it no 500 best real estate agents in the country? Thought it was 50 for a second. It was 500 best real estate agents and this was deemed by the Wall Street Journal. They were selected by the Wall Street Journal. So I started doing work with them and I learned what it takes to be a great real estate agent. So we started to form a company called realestateagentsitrust.com and it's dedicated to pair you up with the best real estate agent that you can trust through the whole process. That's all we want to do. We vet these people, we monitor. They don't work for me. We're just a referral service. And we really. I mean, they practically get a rectal exam with us. I mean, we want to know everything about them. I mean, not that much, but pretty close anyway. We've been helping this audience for years now, almost a decade. Billions of dollars in sales. All you have to do is just contact us@realestateagency trust.com. tell us where you're buying and where you're selling across the street or across the country. Realestate agentsitrust.com realestate agentsitrust.com all righty, I just, I gotta stop here real quick. Just one more thing about Karen Bass who is doing a bang up job. She's no, she's on fire. She is in fuego. But Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, she was giving some information yesterday. Cut 25 please. She was fabulous. Listen to this.
- [46:30]
John Strand
Build stronger than ever right now. If you need help, emergency information, resources.
- [46:37]
Glenn Beck
And shelter is available.
- [46:39]
Stu Burguiere
All of this can be found at URL.
- [46:43]
Glenn Beck
Los Angeles together is how we will get. I think we can stop there through the stu. Would you just. Would you find that information at URL for me?
- [46:50]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, let me just type on this URL.
- [46:54]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. URL. Got it. Yep.
- [46:55]
Stu Burguiere
Perfect. Yeah, Here it is.
- [46:57]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. What?
- [46:59]
Stu Burguiere
All the information I need is right here, in fact, that I will say, URL. All the information I needed about Karen Bass is in that clip. But that's not. Tell me anything about the fires.
- [47:12]
Glenn Beck
Nope, nope. All you need. You imagine people are, like, at home if they don't know what URL is. And who doesn't at this point? Honestly, who does not know what URL means? You know, it's like, find all the information@www.and they'll have all the information for you. I mean. Oh, my gosh. How did she possibly say that? And I mean, just not engaged in thinking at all. But, you know, then again, I mean, it's hard to look bad next to Newsom. Did you see when Newsom was in the street and some woman came up to him and he's like, oh, I've got a. I've got the president on the phone. Really? Can I see it? Well, not now. I mean, it's actually the king of England. It's your husband I'm talking to right now. He's really. I got somebody on the. I gotta go listen to this. Cut 23. Governor, you got a second? Nope, I don't hear. Governor, that was my daughter's school. Governor, please tell me what you're gonna do.
- [48:18]
Sarah Gonzalez
I'm not gonna hurt him, I promise.
- [48:20]
Glenn Beck
Literally talking to the president right now. To specifically answer the question. He's literally for you. Stop. Your daughter. Stop. Stop. Hang on just a second. He's literally talking to the president right now. Now, see how this lie falls apart? Go ahead. You can do for you and your daughter.
- [48:39]
John Strand
Can I hear it?
- [48:40]
Glenn Beck
Can I hear your call? Because I don't believe it. I'm sorry. There's literally. I've tried five times. That's why I'm walking around. To make. Why is the president not taking. Because it's not going through. Why? Hold on just a second. So he's literally not talking to the president right now. He's literally trying to talk to the president right now. That's why he's walking around. He can't get cell coverage. And, you know, honestly, what do you people in L. A expect, you know, phone coverage wherever you are? I mean, you know, what do you. There's a fire going on what do you need cell coverage for? Hello? Oh, my gosh.
- [49:21]
Stu Burguiere
It's incredible. I was waiting for him to just go. Yeah, and we'll, we'll help you out as soon as. Oh, hold on. That could be the President now. Hello, Mr. President.
- [49:32]
Glenn Beck
It's so bad, so bad.
- [49:36]
Stu Burguiere
I will say it's really sad to see the, the city of Los Angeles go up in flames. I'm not as sad to see Gavin Newsom 2028 going down in flames as we watch this go on. Because how could this guy, how could. He wants to be your next president desperately.
- [49:53]
Glenn Beck
He does.
- [49:54]
Stu Burguiere
He really does. He'll run almost no matter what. But how could anybody put him in office after watching this?
- [50:00]
Glenn Beck
Well, I mean, you have to read all the facts about him and you can find those facts at URL. Now let me, let me move on to the funeral yesterday of Jimmy Carter. I have never seen, honestly. I mean, it was like the Housewives of Washington D.C. i've never seen the presidential squad with all the living presidents look so crazy. Let me just start with the video of them just walking in and being ushered in because they're, they're ushered in one by one. Bill Clinton looks like, you know, he's probably the next to go. I hate to say that Melania was so stoic yesterday. Here's Mike Pence giving him a warm handshake to Melania and Donald Trump. They're cordial to each other. Melania was so stoic. It was the one year anniversary of her mother's death yesterday. So, you know, one year death of somebody like your mom is really tough. And so she's at a funeral and she's just a class. I think she's just the classiest first lady we've had, at least in my lifetime. I mean, I think she beats Jackie O and she has had pretty much the same kind of pressure on her that Jackie O did and she has been classy all the way. Then you get, let's go to Obama cutting up with Donald Trump. They're at the funeral. The funeral is like, I think, going on. And play the video now of Donald Trump and Barack Obama just sitting there. They're laughing now. I gotta get back into the lip reading thing here in a second. But Barack Obama is laughing. And my favorite part is, have you ever been, you've been on one side of this, one side or the other. You know when somebody's talking and screwing around in a movie theater and there's that person who doesn't want to say anything and is not going to say anything, but they just turn around and give you a look like die. You know that? You know that look, usually it comes from women. They just turn around and look at you like, stop it. And then they turn around there in a huff. Well, that's what happened with Kamala yesterday. As Barack Obama is laughing. She turns around like that, that school marm. She turns around, looks at them like, die, and then turns around and then picks up her program and pretends to read it. And you know, she's not reading it. She's just so, just so angry for some reason when they come in and they're seating, they seat the first lady and, and her, the first lady to her husband when they're sitting down. Then they bring in Jill and Joe Biden. I mean, I'm in the mountains of the west right now. It's, I don't know, outside, it's probably one. It was colder in that church when those two saw each other than it is right now. I mean, it was brutal. Brutal. Let me see, Let me go to the, go back to the funeral thing where they're, they're talking back and forth and let me tell you about the, the lip reader. Did you read about the lip reader, what they said? I don't know if this is.
- [54:03]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, yeah.
- [54:04]
Glenn Beck
Okay. So they're talking back and forth and at one point Trump, this according to a lip reader, Trump leans over toward, toward Obama and says, I've pulled out of that. It's the conditions. Can you imagine that? Now, I don't know if he was talking about Kamala or I don't know what it might have been. Some sort of a deal, global war. I don't know what it was, but the speculation is maybe it's the Iran nuclear deal or the Paris climate agreement. And they don't know what they were discussing. But Obama laughs. So I don't know how this relates to that. He laughs and then Trump said, and after I will. So we don't know what that means. The TV pool camera cut away from the two guys and then when it comes back on, Trump says, call me at the Foy after. Yep, yep. And maybe that was the foyer or there's a little known hotel called the Foy. At this point, I'm starting to question the lip reading, you know what I mean? Like maybe he meant the foyer, but only said the Foy and he wanted to call him when he was in the foyer. I mean, it just doesn't.
- [55:29]
Stu Burguiere
What a lot of people abbreviate foyer to Foy.
- [55:33]
Glenn Beck
It happens all the time. All the time. Where did you leave that? I left it in the Foy. Okay, Right. So he says, call me at the Foy after. Yeah, yeah. Then Obama said, can you just. It should be good. Again, that doesn't work as a sentence. It doesn't work. Okay.
- [55:56]
Stu Burguiere
Sometimes you have information you don't need to communicate to other people. And if what you came up with as a lip reader is. And they said. He said, I want to Ed Squirrel. Like, if that's what you came up with, just don't.
- [56:12]
Glenn Beck
Probably not reading it right. Yeah, right. You're probably not reading it right. Then Trump said, I can't talk. We have to find a quiet place sometime. This is a matter of importance, and we need to do this outside so we can deal with it. Certainly today. Okay. What would Donald Trump beat? And. And then Obama's laughing. What would be important that would make Barack Obama laugh that they had to deal with today, the two of them? The lip reader also interpreted Obama as saying, listen to me. It's a chore. It's a choreography. Yeah. Trump replied, I can't think of anything that is a chore. That sentence doesn't even make sense. It doesn't make sense.
- [57:06]
Stu Burguiere
Hire for this job. This is the worst.
- [57:09]
Glenn Beck
I have a lip reader. I know what they're saying. Soup, soup, soup. I don't think that's what they were saying. I mean, maybe I don't know who they hired as a lip reader, but.
- [57:25]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, here we have.
- [57:27]
Glenn Beck
Here it is.
- [57:27]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, sorry, I did want to interrupt. We do have a sentence for Donald Trump that has just come down. Oh, we do, we do. And it is an incredible.
- [57:36]
Glenn Beck
From the lip reader or the sentence from the judge?
- [57:39]
Stu Burguiere
I'm lip reading people on TV as we do the show.
- [57:42]
Glenn Beck
All right, all right.
- [57:43]
Stu Burguiere
They've.
- [57:43]
Glenn Beck
They. I got a sentence from the lip reader. Cake is good.
- [57:48]
Stu Burguiere
They've sentenced him to balloons.
- [57:50]
Glenn Beck
I don't know what that means.
- [57:51]
Stu Burguiere
Why?
- [57:54]
Glenn Beck
What is the sentence?
- [57:55]
Stu Burguiere
This is I. This is not me misreading a lip reader. This is the actual sentence. The judge has sentenced Donald Trump to unconditional discharge. I swear I've had that.
- [58:08]
Glenn Beck
I've had that before. It's nasty. You take some medication and it. It clears up. But that unintentional or unrelenting or whatever it was.
- [58:18]
Stu Burguiere
Unconditional discharge can be. If you have antibiotic cream, you can get rid that pretty quickly. Get rid of it. So unconditional discharge just means, like, they just let him go. Like that's what it is. Like he just walks out without any conditions. That's what all of this built up to. We spent millions and millions of dollars.
- [58:36]
Glenn Beck
To say, hey, Don, see you later. That's it. That's the whole thing.
- [58:41]
Stu Burguiere
I mean, fitting, fitting.
- [58:43]
Glenn Beck
If you have, if you have discharge of any kind, call your doctor.
- [58:52]
Stu Burguiere
If that unconditional discharge lasts for four hours or more, you need to see a physician immediately.
- [59:01]
Glenn Beck
All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor. What if I told you that it's not only possible to get rid of most of all of that discharge that you've been carrying around for so long, but you might actually be able to feel good the way you used to Remember those days. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to go to relieffactor.com Reliefactor.com has helped me and helps so many people in this audience. It's a supplement that helps your body fight pain every single day. But it, it works with your body in a natural way. It's 100% drug free.

You're going to live a better life. That's what Relief Factor does.

Take it for three weeks. 800 for relief. 800, the number four relief. It's relieffactor.com 10 seconds. Station ID. So, so we got the lip reader, who, by the way, I found out who it is. He's a lip reader. He's a lip reader in London. So I think he is. He worked 16 years at the University College London. Certified expert witness for litigants, the police and journalists.
- [61:17]
Stu Burguiere
So another job just won't do.
- [61:20]
Glenn Beck
Just won't do. We couldn't get it. We couldn't get a lip reader here. We couldn't get an American. I don't know, he said nothing about Fish and chips. I have no idea what they were talking about.
- [61:32]
Stu Burguiere
He's here on an H1B visa, and.
- [61:37]
Glenn Beck
If you have unconditional discharge or H1B visas, see a doctor. The city of Los Angeles. You know, you cut funding for the fire department, but that's only because they needed some really important stuff, including a midnight stroll transgender Cafe. So they spent the fire money on a midnight stroll Transgender Cafe.
- [62:09]
Stu Burguiere
What would that even be?
- [62:11]
Glenn Beck
I don't. I. I might have gotten that from the lip reader. I have no idea what that is.
- [62:19]
Stu Burguiere
Okay.
- [62:19]
Glenn Beck
Did they actually make it?
- [62:21]
Stu Burguiere
It's only open at midnight. You have to walk through it and not. You have to be transgendered or all the people who work there are transgendered. What would you.
- [62:30]
Glenn Beck
I have no idea. I don't know. I've. This is a new one to me. I'm. I'm kind of old fashioned. I. I didn't spend a lot of time in the Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe in my hometown, so I'm. I'm not sure exactly what that is.
- [62:45]
Stu Burguiere
The lip reader is standing by, and he's just like, I don't know. It looks like a woman to me.
- [62:49]
Glenn Beck
That's his role in all of this. So the Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe, also, they spent money on a gay men's chorus, so.
- [63:02]
Stu Burguiere
Gay men's chorus.
- [63:03]
Glenn Beck
So chorus. Yeah.
- [63:05]
Stu Burguiere
You have to. You have to be gay to be in the chorus, or they only sing about gay men.
- [63:12]
Glenn Beck
No, I think.
- [63:14]
Stu Burguiere
Or both.
- [63:15]
Glenn Beck
I think you have to be gay to be in the chorus. Now, Los Angeles allocated $100,000 to the Civil Plus Human Rights and Equity department for the Trans. For the Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe. So that only took $100,000. And it is to support a safe haven for unsheltered transgendered individuals in Hollywood. So it is. I see. I see what it is. If you live out on the street. Streets, and you're in danger and you're transgender, they got a cafe open for you at night.
- [63:57]
Stu Burguiere
At midnight. Yeah. And you and individuals. You can't be in a group. No. Transgendered groups can come in to our midnight stroll restaurant.
- [64:07]
Glenn Beck
No, no. Also, they appropriated $8,670 for the one institute, the International Gay and Lesbian Archives. I don't. I don't know what they're archiving, but they've. They've got those archives for $8,000. Okay. This is Glenn Beck. My gosh, wait till you hear the rest of this. I've been telling you for years now, precious metals are the best way I know to protect your investments. If you have worked your whole life and you have that nest egg. That nest egg could be gone. I mean, at some point, this whole thing comes unraveling. And in four years, if we keep on this pace, we'll be $51 trillion in debt. I don't know. That's kind of a pro. That'll be kind of a problem. And we're already paying a trillion dollars in interest every year. This is going to affect your dollar and your savings. Please. I want you to call lear Capital at 800-957-Gold. See, what people don't understand is gold price doesn't actually go up. It's that your dollar is going down. So gold is just holding the value and inflation and everything else. It's just holding its value. What the dollar was worth, you know, 15 years ago was about 400 bucks. Now it's 3,000. Call Lear. 800, 957 gold. 800957 gold.

If you're suffering from unconditional discharge, the only cure is Blaze TV. Go to BlazeTV.com Glenn and use the promo code. Glenn.

Glenn Beck
All right. The sentence has been handed down by the judge in the Donald Trump felony. Remember, 34 felonies, and he was given unconditional discharge. Not to be confused with premature discharge. This means the judge. This is usually given for somebody who, you know, has broken a minor, minor law. And that's when they, you know, they're like, okay, yes, you did cross the street and jaywalk, but there's no punishment here. Just don't jaywalk again. Okay? So it's usually used for very light sentences as I, as I read it, Stu. Is that right?
- [66:57]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, that's what I've been, you know, reading as well. Typically giving for minor offenses where the judge deems formal punishment unnecessary. However, the conviction is still recorded and it may appear on your criminal record, depending on jurisdiction. Jurisdiction. So they, you know, so in other words, they can still say he's a convicted felon. They can still say all these things.
- [67:16]
Glenn Beck
Correct about it, but he doesn't need to serve any time because he's President of the United States and we failed on our, our real goal, which was keep him out of the office of the presidency. We don't want to get into any more trouble, so we're just gonna say, okay, well, he's a felon, but it doesn't really matter that much. It's unbelievable. Maybe, maybe, maybe this judge has tried new grudge. Etol grudge at all works fast. Within 24 hours, you'll feel Like a whole new person, capable of eye rolls, sassy comebacks, and even declining invitations. You don't want to attend Grudge et al. Not for everyone. Side effects may include excessive passive aggressiveness, overuse of the phrase not my problem, and a sudden urge to start every sentence with, well, let me stop you right there. Some patients reported being too good at holding grudges and refusing to forgive minor transgressions like spilling salsa on the carpet. Ask your therapist if Grudge ETOL is right for you. Remember, it's your boundaries. It's your rules. Grudge it all. Maybe he had some of that.
- [68:25]
Stu Burguiere
Maybe he did.
- [68:26]
Glenn Beck
Maybe he did.
- [68:27]
Stu Burguiere
It seems like what he's been taking, he's been, you know, throwing those things back like crazy. He did go through a long dissertation on the extraordinary powers granted to the President of the United States when it comes to immunity. And. And so he's. He was basically saying, I would have loved to have punished him with more, but there's not much more I can do. So this is what I'm. I'm going to do.
- [68:51]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. You know, there's not much more legally I can do because really, the whole court case was a farce of legality. So that's the truth.
- [69:02]
Stu Burguiere
That's the truth. It is not what he was saying, though. He was trying to make the opposite case, that, hey, you know, we got him on 34 felonies, but I can't do anything.
- [69:09]
Glenn Beck
I know.
- [69:09]
Stu Burguiere
So this is all I could.
- [69:11]
Glenn Beck
I can't do anything. I can't do anything. What a weasel. This. This. How much did this trial cost the state of New York?
- [69:21]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, my God.
- [69:22]
Glenn Beck
How much did they. Millions of dollars. How much time did the State of New York. The officials spend instead of tracking down killers and everything else on running this case against Donald Trump? Which was. Which was a complete farce from the beginning. The statute of limitations didn't even apply. Nobody's ever been tried for this. Okay. The 34 Kellent felonies are just because they kept counting the same felony over and over again. Yeah, well, he did that on Tuesday, too. Well, he did it on Wednesday and Thursday.
- [70:01]
Stu Burguiere
Even worse than that, Glenn. It was each count of this, each payment, right? You have. The payment that went to Michael Cohen was, you know, essentially what they were saying was a crime, which, again, is idiotic. And it was a monthly payment, Right, A monthly payment. So really, what we're talking about is one payment, right? Well, there's one instance of this, if you really want to go to it. But then they decided to expand it to 12 monthly payments, you know, and then on top of that, they said, not the payment. The. The invoice was a separate crime for each payment. And then I think the recording of it in the ledger was a third crime for each of these. So it came to 34 because of a couple of details on a couple of the months. But the bottom line is that's how they came up with 34 felonies. They just wanted that number to be high, and they wanted that number to be high enough so that you in Pennsylvania or you in Nevada would not vote for Donald Trump. This, of course, backfired enormously, and you're left with unconditional discharge.
- [71:07]
Glenn Beck
Which is so funny. Is so funny. I mean, that just. It's the perfect ending for this. Perfect ending, except it shouldn't be the ending. Donald Trump should pursue this and have his wife, his record wiped. So he should pursue this so he doesn't have 34 felonies. I mean, I'm not going to sit those. Sit there with that on my record. I want to expose the bums for what they did. So I think he should pursue this and maybe then give the judge some of that discharge and see how that works out for him.
- [71:43]
Stu Burguiere
I do think for the country, though, the best case scenario would be that none of this ever happened. But now that it has happened, now that they have convicted him, I know Trump was fighting the sentencing and didn't want it to occur. I am, you know, now that we all know that it was absolutely nothing, I am glad that it's over. Like, it would be hanging over, still be bringing it up. And they would say as soon as he gets out of office, they're going to sentence him, and then, who knows, maybe they would sentence him to something more serious. Yeah, I'm glad. I mean, this is over. If he wants to challenge it, I think that's great. He wants to get it just expunged from the records. I hate to say expunge, I think, about unconditional discharge, but, you know, I.
- [72:20]
Glenn Beck
Think I've had to use that expunge. Those expunge. I have one on my sink right now for the visor. Yeah, I think expunged.
- [72:32]
Stu Burguiere
I think there is a real argument for him to pursue this just for his legacy and. And just because it's. It was wrong from the beginning, but.
- [72:41]
Glenn Beck
At least you also have to fix the country.
- [72:43]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [72:45]
Glenn Beck
I mean, here's the thing. I was having dinner last night with some friends and I. We were talking about the Epstein case. The January 6th case. Don't mention discharge here. Don't.
- [72:59]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, I'm not, I promise I won't go there. But I just, I just want to highlight that I was having dinner with some friends. We were talking about the Epstein case. Is such a Glenn Beck thing to say. And then we went, and then we went into how big is the, the room in your bunker that you're protecting yourself from the nuclear apocalypse. And no, this is these.
- [73:20]
Glenn Beck
We were talking about the January, we were talking about the January 6th case. We were talking about the P. Diddy case, the Epstein case. And, and, and the question was that I posed was, are any of the, is the truth ever coming out on this? Is Donald Trump going to release this? Because of the danger that I think anyone who is involved in exposing that is going to be in. I mean this is, this is Jason Bourne level stuff to where you've got all of these names of the most powerful people on earth. Epstein did not kill himself. You have all of the names of the most powerful, powerful people on earth that can make things happen. And you're going to put that case together and then try it or put that case together and then try to find the journalists that are going to release all of this. I mean, that's a dangerous job. And I wondered because it's going to affect both the Republicans and the Democrats, are we ever going to find out about these things? And I think what would make Donald Trump Abraham Lincoln would be to take it on and release all of the raw facts of all of it and let the chips fall where they may. That's the. You have to lance a boil if, and that was a good phrase to use at dinner last night. You have to lance a boil that is on our country. And that is all of this infection of lies and deceit and corruption. We have to get that out of our system. And the only way to do it is to just walk through that fire. That's it.
- [75:11]
Stu Burguiere
And he is Lincoln esque in that his political opponents keep trying to kill him. So he has that going on.
- [75:17]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Never at a play though.
- [75:19]
Stu Burguiere
No, no, he's not. I don't think he's a big Broadway guy for his New York friendly as Donald Trump is. He's a big Manhattan guy. Don't see him on Broadway all that often. Do you think he'll do this? Because, I mean, look, it's something he's promised, right? I mean this was a. He ran during the campaign. I don't want to say it was his most prominent promise, but but he's run on releasing all this stuff and being that transparent president we were promised back in the days of Barack Obama and never received. He wants to get all this stuff out there. He says he has. He was going to. Now, I know he said that about Kennedy in the first term. And then some stuff comes up. And so that's what I wonder at this point, whether that sort of thing will be what we see here. Because you're right, there's a lot of people, a lot of people he knows, you know, were involved in this. Not all his enemies either. I mean, like, you know, I, And.
- [76:08]
Glenn Beck
I don't think it's. See, that's, that's the thing. I think if Donald Trump is really, truly wants to be the transformative, Transformative president, part of transforming our nation is resetting it, resetting it on truth. And so you have to expose all of those lies. So it can't be. And I don't. I'm not sure Donald Trump is the one that says, hey, I'm. I'm going to protect you because, you know, you're a friend of mine. I think he's the type that would look at it and go, how much trouble is this going to cost? Will it be worth it? Because that will be. That will just cause turmoil like crazy all over the world. Will it be worth it? In the end, I believe it is, because truth has to be restored and we have to know who the bad guys are. I mean, if, if, if this, you know, P. Diddy stuff is happening in Hollywood, we went after, with the Me Too movement. We went after people and, you know, we got Harvey Weinstein out. Now, why didn't we get P. Diddy out? Why didn't we get other people out? Weinstein was just the one that everybody targeted. And they did get some, a couple, but we haven't cleaned that out. Why were we willing to take on that? Why were people brave enough to step up and say, this is what's going on with Weinstein? Because we were all disgusted by it. But why won't they continue to do that? And I think it's because there are too many very, very powerful people. Weinstein, in the end, they made it seem like he was really the only one. And then there were a couple of others, but it wasn't widespread. But I think this stuff is widespread. Yeah.
- [77:59]
Stu Burguiere
I mean, and to be fair to our justice system, a little bit, which takes a decent amount of beating, deservedly so. You know, Jeffrey Epstein died in prison, despite whether you, how you think he died or not he died in prison. P. Diddy is in prison. Right. So some of this stuff is happening and we should be able to get some of these answers. We have, we have received a lot of the answers on Epstein. I mean this was covered widely in the media. I mean as much as we bash the media, they did actually uncover this after the justice system failed us the first time he went quote unquote to prison where he would just basically hang out in a building that he was paying for. That all went down and we did eventually find out. I just think it takes a long time, number one. And number two, it never really feels like we get the full story. Like I think we do know a lot about what Jeffrey Epstein did. We know a lot of his crimes. Right. We have a lot of the, we don't accusations against P. Diddy, but we don't know all the people who were involved in the periphery and that's what people want.
- [79:03]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, they want to know, look, if this were happening to the average person, if this was just a ring of people that weren't famous or powerful, every single one of those, those names would be known, their pictures were, would be known and they'd all be in jail. And that's what I think America needs and must have on all of these cases. We've got to fumigate and start from scratch. You've got to, if you want to reset it, you cannot let the infection be anywhere in the body politic. All right, back in just a second. Let me talk to you about my patriot supply Trump administration coming in. Feel pretty good, but you know as well as I do, I mean look at California, you're going to let your guard down. You know, California is a man made issue. That that's not global warming, that's man made, that is incompetence that did that. So I don't care if it's God that's doing things, if it's man made, if it's war, if whatever it is, there's going to be some real problems. And with cyber attack, invasions, you know, God forbid the things go awry with Iran or with Russia, we have to be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best and storing emergency food in your home is the right thing to do. We live in crazy times and your family might need it and the last thing you want is to say, oh geez, I wish I would have done that. You need it. When you need it, you need it. Get your three month emergency food kit now. 2,000 calories every single day for three whole months. You'll get plenty of food to get you through a prolonged emergency.

Go to my Patriotsupply.com. that's my Patriotsupply.com. you ever seen a liberal's hands Smoother than a snake on oil. Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word retarded than the word work. Glenn Beck will be right back. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I am, I'm sending some pictures to the studio, Stew, so maybe next hour we can put them side by side. But I looked up pictures of, of Hiroshima and pictures of Los Angeles and you put them side by side. And it's the same view. It's the same view. You know, one took a, you know, fraction of a second to destroy this one. I mean, it, it amazes me that here it is, the second largest city in the country and we still have zero containment of that. Zero. And they're catching people setting more fires. There was another fire that was set last night.
- [82:38]
Stu Burguiere
What do you make of that, Glenn? Because I think, like, obviously priority one is putting these fires out, but, like, at some point do we think about this as, you know, almost like a terrorist attack? I mean, this would be more successful than anything Al Qaeda could pull off.
- [82:54]
Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah. And don't put it out the realm of possibilities that this, you know, was started by an adversary or at least the adversaries start to, you know, join in on the fun. You have a chance. There is a chance that all of Los Angeles is burnt to the ground. Think of that in today's world, how is that even possible other than by liberal policies and just absolute incompetence? In California is Glenn Beck. Feel the dark on every side. Stand your ground when times get dark. Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. You know, as we wrap up the week of January 6th, I wanted to have John Strand on again. John. John was on with me earlier this week. He is, he's a guy who served a year in prison, the Supreme Court overturned. But his story of what they did to him in solitary confinement and everything else is, is just horrific. And I did a podcast with him yesterday. It's Available for all the Blaze TV subscribers right now. But if you want to see it and you don't have a Blaze subscription, first of all, you should get one. Second of all, you can see it wherever you get your podcast tomorrow. But it is quite a remarkable story and I'm going to go through it with him here in just a second. Stand by. Every day the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is doing vital work, helping provide for the security and other needs of Israelis both in the Holy Land and around the world. They've provided bomb shelters, protective gear and other emergency supplies for first respond responders, assistance to soldiers and their families. Food boxes for Israelis who might be stuck in bomb shelters for days or even weeks. It has been quite a remarkable thing and you've been part of it. They've even delivered a mobile firefighting unit that helps put out their fire started by terrorist rocket strikes. Maybe we should start sending some of that to Los Angeles. Oh no, they'd probably, probably sell it off for DEI stuff anyway. If you'd like to help the people in, in Israel and just stand and support the people in Israel, all you have to do is just give as generously as you can. Make a gift right now at 888-488-IFCJ. You can call them now, 888-488-4325 or you just go online, read a little bit about them, see what they do and pledge some support. SupportIFCJ.org that's one word. SupportIFCJ.org so here we are on Friday. Yesterday I talked to John Strand. Now he is a January Sixer. He tells the story of why he was there, what he was doing. He was actually invited to be there. He was with a speaker that was supposed to speak and he was not on the side where they were breaking the windows and everything else. He was by the Columbus doors. And these Columbus doors are these enormous bronze doors. You're not opening them. They have to be opened for you. And somebody opened those doors. It's still kind of, you know, kind of a mystery how those things were opened still. But the, the, the Columbus doors were open and they started pouring in. He thought it was like a relief valve because everybody was being crushed in this, this one area by the Columbus doors. So they walk in and he's with somebody was supposed to speak and they go into rotunda and she starts to speak for anybody who is listening. A week later he is, they barnstorm his, his place of business, break down the door. He comes in, they come in, they arrest him. He's disappeared for four days. Not allowed to make a phone call for four days. Then he's tried. He. He pleads not guilty because he said, I didn't do any of the things they said I did, and I can prove it. And. And, you know, they. They were charging me with nonsense, and I can prove it. He eventually did in the Supreme Court, but he was put in solitary confinement for four solid months. Now, solitary confinement is known as cruel and unusual punishment all over the world. You don't put people and leave them to rot for four months. And the way he described this, it's terrifying. Here he is on John Strand on solitary confinement. What is solitary confinement like?
- [88:46]
John Strand
I mean, it's terrible, physically speaking. It's very. It's very suffocating. It's just very harsh and it's very desolate. So I think maybe that's a good word to describe that. In addition to being very uncomfortable and very intimidating, there is this element of total despair that creeps in very quickly but continues to gradually build. And you realize you're being strangulated by this sense of despair that you can't quite see or identify, but there's no remedy for it. You have nowhere to turn. You have no one to talk to. You have no honesty or logic or rationality in an explanation of anything. Most of the people there ignore you or are rude to you. So it's like being in a. I describe it as. Imagine you were on a submarine, Glenn. So, you know, like I said, I'm on deployment, so this is a military mission. I'm trying to take it seriously, but I know I'm in a war and there's people that are against me or whatever. I'm on a submarine, and suddenly someone trips me and I fall into this closet. The door swings behind me. I jump up, but the door's already locked. I'm banging on the door, and then I suddenly hear this sound as the submarine, I could tell, is dropping to the bottom of the ocean. And then it hits the bottom. No one is coming. You keep banging on the door. No one is answering. And then after a few minutes, you realize I am stuck in this concrete closet in the bottom of the ocean, and I don't know if anyone knows or cares that I'm here and if they'll ever come and get me. And then another day goes by, and then another day goes by, and physically, you are miserable. And that pain is compounding with every day. So it's. Everything is compounding by the hour, by the day, by the Week, you're supposed to have a phone call.
- [90:46]
Glenn Beck
You have a window. Can you see time pass?
- [90:50]
John Strand
One sliver of a window. So, yeah, I could see daylight. The day. Well, at least in one solitary unit. In another solitary unit, it was so dark and the window was so slim that actually I couldn't see day. So different solitary units have different conditions. The one I was in that I spent the most amount of time in was a concrete square hut with various isolation units. I couldn't see these people, but the inmates were savage, like animals. Screaming, yelling constantly. Almost never stopped throughout the course of the day. At night, they would be exhausted and fall asleep. But during the day, it picked up again. I hyperventilated at one point because I just couldn't get away from this cacophony that sounded like the dark corners of hell. I mean, it was hellish in that sense, very literally.
- [91:48]
Glenn Beck
Did you get to go outside at all? Did you? Because I've. No, actually have to. You have to have an hour or something outside. Right.
- [92:00]
John Strand
So the policy says you must have an hour of recreation per day. And when people hear recreation, they think you get to stand outside. You get to dig your toes in the grass. You are human on a planet. No, no. First of all, they ignore that rule half the time. So I was in a concrete shoebox for about 164 hours a week. But for the two or three hours that I might actually get the wreck time, they just dragged me to a different part of that concrete building where they had taken the ceiling off with a cage above it so you could see the sky through the cage. You're in a dog cage inside of a concrete building where you can see a piece of the sky. That was their recreation.
- [92:50]
Glenn Beck
Four months. Four months. Four months like that.
- [92:56]
John Strand
And they're supposed to give you. They're supposed to give you a phone call. Glenn. Even in isolation, the rules stipulate a phone call at a minimum, every seven days. And when you are in those isolation conditions, that phone call is the difference between life or death. You will scratch their eyes out to get that phone call. I was ready to scratch my own eyes out just to hear the voice of my mom or my girlfriend or my attorney or someone tell me, we're still here and we're going to get you out of this hell.
- [93:32]
Glenn Beck
They violated that. You didn't get it every week?
- [93:35]
John Strand
Nope. It took almost three months before a lawyer got through a call, and it took four months before I was finally taken out of solitary. And that was only because of Congressman Matt Gaetz. Springing the fire in Congress and bringing the weight down on the BOP to realize they better start changing some things. So they whisked me out of the middle of the night to spite him because he was going to come and visit on site, middle of the night, whisked me away before he could get there to take me to a different facility. And I was finally taken out of solitary.
- [94:13]
Glenn Beck
It is quite amazing. We talked about how are we going to solve this, what should happen first to those who have been caught up in this net. Cut four, do you have cut four? I think at this point everybody would have spent their time in prison if this was a normal case. Everybody would have already served enough time. And I don't think it's fair to, you know, Donald Trump says we have to take it case by case. And I understand that thinking. But when you know that something has been wrong with a prosecutor, you don't just let the one guy that you know for sure has been wrongly prosecuted. If that pattern appears in other cases, you got to let everybody go. Because fruit of the poison things, yes, you know, something's wrong. So just based on that concept in that law, every single person should be released because you can't go back and say, well, this guy, you know, this guy wasn't as bad because you don't know it was the same people involved that did you. And we know that was wrong. So how do we do anything other than say everybody out, everybody's out.
- [95:48]
John Strand
100% time served, 100%.
- [95:50]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [95:50]
John Strand
You are correct, Glenn. You are absolutely right. And I don't think there's a credible argument against what you said. It is absolutely fundamentally clear that this process was totally corrupted. It was irredeemably tainted, legally speaking.
- [96:07]
Glenn Beck
Correct. And people I guess would argue and say, well, but the violence, but that's not the way it works. We have this, we have this for a reason. I'm not making up something new. I'm not asking for something that hasn't been done before. This is our rule of law, is it not?
- [96:26]
John Strand
Exactly. That's the term I wanted to say. When we say the rule of law, what does it mean? It means there is a pre established rule by which we comport our behavior, by which we comport our review and investigation, by which we comport our administration of justice. And that rule says, that rule says that if the government is shown to be nefarious or corrupt or even just derelict, you must throw it out. And it's very simple why, Glenn, it's very simple why the founders told Us, I believe George Washington. When, when the people fear the government, there's tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty. And George Washington also said, government is not eloquence, it is force. It's a fire that will burn things to the ground if you don't keep the guardrails. So Thomas Jefferson said, we must speak no more about the good intentions of man, but we must bind them down by the chains of the Constitution.
- [97:31]
Glenn Beck
Correct? Now here's the thing on this is, when this rule has ever been enacted before, you don't get mad at the person, the judge or whomever that says, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. All of this has to be thrown out. You're supposed to get mad at the prosecutors. You're supposed to say, you morons have done this in a legal way. You've let bad guys go and you've persecuted good guys. Now, it's not the judge or in this case, not Trump, that is making this judgment. This is the way it's supposed to be. Because you screwed up. And without that slap on the face, not on the wrist, but on the face of the prosecution, you'll never change anything.
- [98:24]
John Strand
100% agree with you. And I wouldn't call them morons. I would call them knaves and scoundrels because they weren't stupid. They knew what they were doing. This was political, of course, and ultimately was evil. It was highly unethical, it was wrong. It was a egregious abuse of their prosecutorial power and of their government issued positions of authority. It was immoral, it was wrong, and it was gravely evil and has caused an incredible amount of destruction and even death. So that's not an exaggeration at all.

Show the next one. And that one is Hiroshima. And that one is after Hiroshima has been cleaned up a little bit so you don't have the dark. The dark burn marks anymore everywhere. But it looks very much the same, does it not, Stu?
- [101:26]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, it really does. It's shocking. It really is. I mean, you see, these things happen from time to time, but they don't. They don't look like this. I mean, this is complete and utterly no structure left standing.
- [101:40]
Glenn Beck
This is. I mean, what does the rest of the world think of America and where we are right now? Can you imagine if London was burning down to the ground and you found out that it was corruption? They didn't have water, none of the pipes were working. You would think, oh, my gosh, England is over, wouldn't you?
- [102:05]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [102:05]
Glenn Beck
What do you think the rest of the world is thinking about us?
- [102:08]
Stu Burguiere
It's kind of how I felt when. When Italy was going through that first wave of COVID and they were like, shutting things down. I just remember thinking, what kind of society would do such a thing? I thought only China would do something like that. And then there we were a couple.
- [102:20]
Glenn Beck
Weeks later, and in Los Angeles, it was the worst than really anywhere else other than New York. Same people. Mm.
- [102:30]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, that's true. That's true. It's. It's funny, Glenn. They, if you look at the, the way that they're reacting to this, there's only one way to react to it. If you're on the left, right, you have been in control of all of this. You are the people doing all the environmental policies. You are the people in control of every level of government. It's all on you. The only thing left for you to say is climate change, because that's how. Because if you can just blame people driving around Indiana in a minivan, then you can somehow justify that you are not a complete failure in all of this and this isn't entirely your fault. They're now to the point, Glenn, where one of you know someone who was married, one of Elon Musk's wives, I don't remember who it was, but was saying X1B. Yeah, X1B or C, I don't remember which one it was. It was evacuating the area and posted something about evacuating and, and people on the left are now hitting and saying, hey, how does it feel to be married to one of the biggest climate deniers in the world? Elon Musk is a climate denier. The man has revolutionized electric cars. He's been saying he's building spaceships to escape climate change. He is the farthest thing you could possibly say away from a climate denier. If one actually existed. And they are so dedicated into holding their ideology through this, I don't know that they're going to recognize that this has been entirely their fault.
- [103:58]
Glenn Beck
It may not. Yeah, they may not. It'll be interesting to watch. If this isn't a wake up call for the people of California, nothing will wake them up.
- [104:06]
Stu Burguiere
Nothing.

Glenn Beck
Their bottom is death. It really is. I've talked about this. You know, alcoholism is a really bad thing and it, it just. You create a world of lies and you live in those. Thank you. And you live in those lies and you live in the lies until you can't live there anymore because you've burned everything down to the ground. Your whole life is a lie and you just can't do it anymore. And my mother died when I was very young. She was an alcoholic and her bottom was death. Thank God mine wasn't to get me to so didn't take death California. If you don't wake up and get sober after this, I'm afraid your bottom will be death. And I highly recommend just admit some things and take some steps to restore sanity. Glenn Beck. Alrighty.

It's Friday. Oh, that feels so good, doesn't it? Sarah Gonzalez is joining us. She's the host of Sarah Gonzalez Unfiltered on Blaze tv. She has also just been named Madam Vice President of the Texas Family Project, which is working to save children from all kinds of. All kinds of sexual things. Welcome, Sarah. How are you?
- [107:17]
Sarah Gonzalez
Thank you. Thank you so much, Glenn. I, I appreciate you calling me by my rightful title, of course. Madam Vice President.
- [107:24]
Glenn Beck
Madam Vice President. Yeah, you. You have to start calling me doctor. But anyway, so, so, so, Sarah, first, let's talk about the Texas Family Project. What. What are you. What is it that they do? As if. I don't know.
- [107:39]
Sarah Gonzalez
Yes. Yeah, sure.
- [107:40]
Glenn Beck
So.
- [107:40]
Sarah Gonzalez
So I was working with them previously on my initiative, Defend Our Kids Texas, in which, of course, we are working to stop the sexualization of children in the state of Texas. Texas Family Project. I decided to take on a larger role just, just to. To work on all the great work, not just for families, but, you know, of course for children with school choice, you know, with making sure that, you know, casinos, casino gambling doesn't come in and destroy families here in the state of Texas. But there is just so much work that we still need to do here in the state and Texas Family Project, you know, I partnered with them and done so much already. And so we decided, you know what, let's join together and strengthen our relationship. Relationship and help to. To save children and strengthen families here in the state of Texas. And if anyone is, you know, wants more information, they can go to texasfamilyproject.com to. To help support.
- [108:30]
Glenn Beck
Let me ask you, how do casinos wreck families?
- [108:36]
Sarah Gonzalez
Yeah, I mean, no, no, I. It's the same question that I had as well. But you would be surprised at the statistics they show with, you know, when casinos come into certain areas, there is more. Your gambling addiction, that bend goes on to absolutely financially destroy families. You end up with more divorce rates. I mean, you would be shocked to see the statistics on how it actually does harm families and family dynamics when you bring that type of thing into Texas.
- [109:05]
Glenn Beck
It's just like you, a traditionalist that wants to define family in only one way. Let me tell you. The casinos are run by family. You know what I'm saying? All right, so, Sarah, I want to talk to you about a story that seems like it's very Texas, but it's not. This is happening in all of our states. It's happening in our federal government as well. And it is something that Donald Trump needs to be very, very aware of. And I think he is of these people who pretend to be just like you, but they're not just like you. Republicans who will give away the entire country to the left. We had a Speaker of the House here, Phelan, which you helped get out of the. The House. He was a Republican. I mean, it's almost impossible to be elected here in Texas as a Democrat. And so Democrats just changed their label to Republican and they run as Republicans. And for some reason, people accept that. Well, this guy becomes the speaker of the House and he throws in with the Democrats and was in for a long time and was appointing Democrats as chair of different committees. And one of them was education and trying to get school choice through. It didn't happen because of him. Well, people had had enough of it. They throw him out. And now we've got. But I think his best friend is trying to horn in and do the same thing and become the chair of the House. And they vote on Tuesday.
- [110:47]
Sarah Gonzalez
Yes. Yeah. So. So Dave Phelan, unfortunately, is still technically in the House as a representative, but it became very clear and very obvious that he did not have enough support. His name was too tarnished to secure the position of speaker, so he had to drop out after, you know, indignantly saying he was going to be the next speaker of the House. So we did have a win there. But you're right, his little crony, the rhino, Dustin Burroughs here in the state of Texas, filed to run for the position at the last minute. And Glenn, you won't believe what happened after that. The GOP caucus met to select their next speaker because of course, I mean, obviously Texas has a strong Republican majority, and so you would assume whoever the GOP caucus selects should be the rightful speaker of the House. It's of course in the rules. But when it became obvious that Dustin Burroughs, Dave's bestie, was not going to secure a majority of the Republicans, he and about 31 other rhinos, you know, similar to my 4 year old, throwing a temper tantrum, they just left the caucus meeting. They just took their balls and they went home and they refused to participate in the process because it wasn't going their way. So first of all, go ahead.
- [111:53]
Glenn Beck
May I just say, first of all, it's take their ball. And I think that's important to say, because the way you said it insinuated that Rhinos had balls and they don't.
- [112:06]
Sarah Gonzalez
That's a great point. Thank you for clarifying that, Glenn.
- [112:09]
Glenn Beck
All right, so thank you.
- [112:10]
Sarah Gonzalez
So the remaining members, of course, in the Republican Party finished the process, and David Cook was selected to become the next speaker of the House in that process. He is the Texas House reform candidate. He understands the conservative priorities. He understands that we need to ban Democrat shares. He has signed on to all of that, and he was selected within that process. Well, the Rhinos have decided they're not going down without a fight. So Dustin Burroughs, instead of following the GOP caucus rules that state that Republicans have to get in line once they have their little meeting, he decided that he was going to partner with the Democrats to win the speakership. So he has still not dropped out. He's now boasting more Democrat support than Republicans, if you can believe that. So he's listed according to one of their members. Burroughs has listed 31 Republicans and 38 Democrats that are supporting him right now to become speaker of the House. So we are now in the state of Texas in a battle for who is going to control the Texas House, Democrats or Republicans, Even though there are 88 Republicans and 62 Democrats that are about to be sworn in.
- [113:15]
Glenn Beck
So. So what do people do? This is, this vote's gonna happen and we're gonna go right back to the crap we had. If the people in Texas don't stand up. And this is not just a Texas story. This is happening all over the country. You've got to keep your eyes peeled for this stuff.
- [113:36]
Sarah Gonzalez
Yes. Yeah. So you can go to everyone within the state of Texas, please go to wrm.capital.texas.gov to find your state representative. If you don't know who they are, I didn't come up with the URL.
- [113:55]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yes, just go to URL. Yeah.
- [113:58]
Sarah Gonzalez
I mean, you could also go, you know, but yeah. Wrm.capital.texas.gov to find your state rep. Now, if you already know who your state rep is, reach out to them, email them, send them a message on social media where everyone can see it publicly. Call their office, make sure that they know that you expect them to vote for the rightful speaker of the House. The same person, by the way, who Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and Attorney General Ken Paxton all have unified around him and pointed out and acknowledged this is the rightful winner of the Texas speaker race. But I will say this as well. What people can do, aside from reaching out, they can, of course, get ready for another primary season. Because last primary we had unprecedented losses for all of these Rhino Republicans. There were 15 of them that were unseated by someone who was more conservative after the runoff concluded. So Texas grassroots is not messing around anymore. They have put these guys on notice that if you want to fight us, we will replace you. And on top of that, you have the Texas GOP who has put into place a new rule that if you get censured by the party, it's no longer just a sternly worded letter to the manager as it was before. You know, it's like, oh, well, we're going to censure you and you're going to to hear from us in a letter. This one actually has teeth now and it can actually lead to the Republican Party removing these members names from the primary ballot as a Republican candidate. So it's got these members very, very, very uneasy. One of them, actually Representative Cody Harris, has filed a criminal complaint with the Texas Ethics Commission because the chairman of the GOP texted him and asked if they could chat before he sends mailers into Cody's district. So now we have a Rhino who is resorting to Democrat tactics because the party leader says, we plan to hold you accountable for what you said you would do. So we're not playing around anymore here in the state of Texas. We're going to hold these people the fire. And if you don't want to do what you said you were going to do. We'll replace you.
- [116:02]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And Texas, you have a choice, and every state has a choice. You see where all of this stuff leads now? It leads to the fires in California. Everything that is happening in California is because of progressive decisions. They did not prioritize. They had no common sense. Everything that is happening was avoidable. Is it. Is it really global warming that causes California to burn down almost every year? Why are they getting worse? And they don't ever seem to get better at preventing or stopping the fires. Now they're going to let the second largest city in America burn to the ground. You watch. You watch. If they don't get it under control this weekend, Los Angeles is going to be gone. And that's. That's what your future is. Texas. I hope we've come as close to death as we ever want to come and we're awake enough to say, this has got to end. We are not fooling around anymore. We are Texas and the rest of the country. You are America. It's time to restore American principles and values and stop the games. And I will be texting and tweeting to my representatives in Florida or in Texas, and I hope all Texans will do the same and join me today. The pressure coming from you. If this is the kind of stuff that's gonna have to happen in Washington, you are going to have to be as active as you were during the election because tough, tough decisions are gonna have to be made. And if you don't make it very clear, you're done. As a servant of the people. The next time there is a vote, you're done. We'll primary you. We will work tirelessly, and we have a very, very long memory. If you're not serving the people, doing what you said and what the people have voted for, you're out. You're done. Sarah, thank you so much. I appreciate it. God bless.

You bet. All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Very soon, we may own Greenland and the Panama Canal. And he's so imperialist. He's so imperialist. He, like, wears a crown. Speaking of the crown, maybe we could get some of that imperial butter and Canada, too. Oh, gosh, they're saying about Donald Trump now. Imperialist. No, he's not an imperialist. He is. He wants to make investments in Greenland. That make sense? Business sense. Panama. Since when is it imperialist to say we shouldn't have the Chinese running the Panama Canal? Anyway, Patriot Mobile is our sponsor, and they're people that have common sense and have stood side by side in local communities to try to get things back on track. They're the ones that are helping school boards all across the country. They're. They're the ones honestly that saved Fort Worth from this progressive nightmare. They're very active in, in Texas and they can be more and more active the more people that sign up to become a member of Patriot Mobile's family. Patriot Mobile is the, the company that will give you the most dependable coverage, access to all three major networks. So you're going to get the same coverage. You already have exactly the same coverage. Plus you're going to save money. This is the best deal I think I could offer anybody. Patriot Mobile, save money, get better service, the same coverage and support the people who are supporting us in our own local communities. I don't know. Sounds like a great deal. 972 Patriot 972 Patriot or patriotmobile.com Beck Glenn Beck.

Stu Burguiere
You know, Sarah Gonzalez was saying just a couple of minutes ago is true not just in Texas but all over the country. And it is one of the things that I think because we can, we can obviously be critical of the left all day long and they will deserve it and we can do that forever. But it is important to look at yourself at times. And I think one thing's, one thing that the conservative movement does poorly at times is to be really, really excited about turning a state red and then kind of just washing your hands and walking away, hey, the state's red. That's great. I like the color red. And look, the color red often is better than the color blue. That's true. But when you have a really bright red state, when you have a Utah or a Texas or an Oklahoma or Alabama or a Florida and you have senators, representatives, local state governments that might overt, you know, openly be right, but acting like they're either center or center left, we tend to give those people their jobs back over and over and over again. I mean, John Cornyn in Texas is a great example of this. He's got a terrible voting record for a Republican Republican. He has seemingly very few of the priorities of the conservative movement and then continues to be put back in office for six year term after six year term, after six year term. That's something we can stop. If you go back and you look at where Utah was years ago before Mike Lee, there's a good example of that. You know, eventually Mike Lee gets the job and changes the Senate, changes the way we, we handle a lot of constitutional issues. He's been a force. We can do this. This is something the conservative movement should be able to do. Finding people who can be elected. You don't want to pick out people who are so, quote, unquote, pure that they can't win. You have to find people who can win. But we can do better than a lot of these terrible representatives. And we need to focus more locally, not just looking at just the President of the United States, though that's obviously very important. But statewide races, local races, find people who say they're Republicans and conservatives and make sure they actually are. That is a vital thing to do, and it's something we can actually control. We can't control necessarily who wins the Senate race in New York or Illinois. That's really, really hard to get a victory in those states. It's not nearly as hard to improve from a moderate rhino type of Republican to one that actually knows and can do the job. Ron DeSantis has done a good job in Florida, making sure Florida is like this. Improve that situation quite a bit. We can do that in state after state after state. And we should. By the way, obviously, California having the horrible wildfires is the big story. We're having, you know, wintry weather in the south right now. And there is a frozen iguana warning in Florida. If you're in Florida, if it gets cold and you walk under a tree, look out for falling iguanas. That is real. It has been issued. It can happen to you. Do not get crushed by a frozen iguana this week, please. Also the most important part of the weekend. Go birds.
