Summary

Podcast Summary: "Will MAGA Pirates Help Stop the Drug Cartels?!"

The Glenn Beck Program, hosted by Glenn Beck on Blaze Podcast Network, delves deep into pressing issues surrounding American culture and politics. In the January 28, 2025 episode titled "Will MAGA Pirates Help Stop the Drug Cartels?!", Glenn Beck engages in a robust discussion with Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and Senator Mike Lee, addressing critical topics such as immigration enforcement and innovative strategies to combat drug cartels.

1. Immigration Enforcement and Deportation Policies

[04:38] Glenn Beck:
Glenn opens the episode by expressing frustration over deportations and highlights a recent controversy involving the Colombian president's daughter, who criticized the deportation of Americans, referring to them as "gringos."
“For every Colombian deported, a gringo will return,” she stated, sparking Glenn's agreement on the necessity of deporting violent criminals involved in illegal activities.
“We shouldn't let them stay illegally,” Glenn asserts, emphasizing the importance of removing those who pose threats to American safety.

2. Governor Ron DeSantis on Florida’s Immigration Policies

[24:51] Glenn Beck:
Glenn introduces Governor Ron DeSantis, praising his efforts to enforce stringent immigration laws in Florida despite resistance from fellow Republicans, referred to derogatorily as "rhinos."
“The first hundred days of the Trump administration have been breathtaking,” Glenn remarks, drawing parallels to DeSantis's proactive stance in Florida.

[25:58] Ron DeSantis:
Governor DeSantis discusses the challenges faced in implementing effective immigration policies amid legislative opposition. He criticizes the Florida legislature for diluting the proposed "Trump Act," which aims to enhance deportation efforts.
“We've been very strong on illegal immigration, but now they’re trying to hand over enforcement to the Commissioner of Agriculture,” DeSantis explains, highlighting the inadequacies of such measures.

[30:00] Ron DeSantis:
DeSantis elaborates on the necessity of maintaining executive power over immigration enforcement to ensure alignment with President Trump's mandate.
“If we can’t execute the mandate given by the voters, we’re failing America,” he states, underscoring the importance of unified efforts between state and federal authorities.

3. Sheriff Wayne Ivey’s Role in Florida’s Public Safety

[48:21] Glenn Beck:
Glenn shifts focus to Sheriff Wayne Ivey of Brevard County, commending his zero-tolerance approach to crime and effective collaboration with federal agencies.
“In Brevard County, our crime rate has dropped almost 53% because we are tough on crime,” Sheriff Ivey proudly shares, attributing success to community partnerships and stringent law enforcement.

[50:43] Sheriff Wayne Ivey:
Sheriff Ivey emphasizes the need for local and federal cooperation to manage and deport illegal immigrants efficiently.
“We have to restabilize our foundation of law and order,” he asserts, advocating for empowered law enforcement to tackle illegal immigration comprehensively.

4. Innovative Strategies to Combat Drug Cartels with Senator Mike Lee

[125:39] Glenn Beck:
Introducing the second guest, Senator Mike Lee, Glenn inquires about a novel approach to dismantling drug cartels using historical naval concepts.
“Senator Mike Lee is joining me now. Yesterday he proposed using letters of marque and reprisal to weaken the drug cartels,” Glen introduces.

[110:53] Mike Lee:
Senator Lee explains the concept of letters of marque and reprisal, likening it to authorizing private citizens to act against enemy ships during wartime. This modern adaptation aims to empower privateers to disrupt drug cartels by seizing their assets and sharing the proceeds with the government.
“Privateers can perform acts otherwise considered piracy, like attacking enemy ships,” Lee details, suggesting that this strategy could be more cost-effective and less risky than deploying military forces.

[117:18] Mike Lee:
Lee addresses potential international repercussions, acknowledging that Mexico might oppose such measures but contends that empowering private citizens could effectively dismantle cartel operations without direct military intervention.
“This is about private citizens taking action against criminal organizations that threaten American safety,” he emphasizes.

[120:23] Mike Lee:
Discussing the political landscape, Lee touches on the challenges RFK Jr. faces in the Senate and the importance of securing Republican support to pass significant legislation.
“RFK Jr. brings an innovative approach to uncovering systemic corruption,” Lee notes, advocating for bipartisan support to ensure the success of his proposals.

5. Closing Remarks and Call to Action

[122:58] Mike Lee:
Before concluding, Senator Lee reiterates his commitment to strengthening immigration enforcement and combating drug cartels through innovative and constitutional means.
“We need to explore all tools at our disposal to protect American communities,” he states, urging legislators to consider the efficacy of letters of marque and reprisal.

[123:00] Glenn Beck:
Glenn wraps up the episode by urging listeners to support strong immigration policies and innovative law enforcement strategies.
“If you live in Florida, call your legislature and demand they support DeSantis’s efforts,” he advises, emphasizing the collective responsibility to uphold American safety and sovereignty.

Ground when times get dark Gotta face the dark and embrace the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello, America. You know, when I was a kid, we used to play cowboys and Indians because we were convinced the cowboys were good and the Indians were bad. Well, that's not true. Historically, parts of it are true. Sometimes the cowboys were the good guys, and sometimes the Indians were the good guys. But things are not as gray sometimes as everybody wants it to be. We can, you know, pretty easily see the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. And that's what's happening with immigration, but nobody's really defining that. I want to. I want to make something really, really crystal clear on what's happening with Colombia. I'll explain in 60 seconds. First, if you're. If you see your dog today, you might want to thank him because he didn't eat you last night. If, you know, if he got hungry, he didn't do that. And with me, it's tempting for my do. But your dog should be eating whatever you put in the bowl. And that could be plain old kibble food. But his body is telling him that's not giving me the stuff that I need. He needs rough greens on top of that kibble food. It's a supplement created by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black specifically to make your pet healthier. Because all of the stuff that's alive is cooked out. By law, that kibble food has to sit up on a shelf and not go bad for two, two and a half years. You gonna feed that to your kids?

Glenn Beck (6:29)

Now there's somebody else that is also, and I think still on the loose in Ohio, but I cannot seem to find a single story on this other than he was charged with this in Columbia and they let him go and now he's back in the United States and if he's guilty of this crime, he should be returned. Okay. You know, if he was, if he was in the hotel room with a 12 and 13 year old and they were, you know, caught with their pants down, so to speak, yeah, he should go to jail. And I prefer that him go to jail in Colombia because I have a feeling it would be much worse for him than in the United States. But it's up to Colombia. You want him back and you want to prosecute him. I'm totally cool with that as long as it's fair. And it's, it's, you know, just. You want him for us to do it. I don't really have a problem, you know, I don't think they fare well in prison when they've been hurting little kids. So either way, I'm totally cool. However, there is a problem in Colombia with sex tourism and it's, it's really getting bad. There was another guy, he was in Florida, he was, what do you call it, a pharmacist. And he was caught getting onto a plane going to Colombia. And you know, he was caught because there's been all kinds of allegations against him. And one of the things that they found on his phone was, you know, him talking to the sex trafficker, saying, hey, you know how I like him? I like them under 10, you know, and all of this horrible, horrible stuff and then negotiating a price. Well, we caught him now, again, we caught him here. But if Columbia wants to take care of them and they, and they, you know, love to do that, I'm all for it here in America, this guy will only get 15 years, and I think that's sick. But we are the. We are the ones who go on the sex tourism, you know, jaunts. Americans are responsible for a lot of this stuff, and that's gotta stop. It's gotta stop. So I just wanted to say to the Colombian president's daughter, you're right. You are absolutely right. Send those gringos back. I am so glad that we agree on what we're really talking about here. Criminals that are making our streets and our citizens unsafe, who are targeting our women and our children. Amen. Thank you. We are on the same page. So problem solved there. I don't know why everybody's crying about this. Uh, now there. There. There's problem. We have Ron DeSantis on with us in just a minute from Florida. He's. He's fighting a bunch of rhinos. He's trying to pass a bunch of legislation. He's called for a special session, a special session of the. Of the Florida House and Senate. And apparently they don't like that. They don't like that. They don't like being called back from their vacation. Oh, cry me a river. Uh, they're saying that it's. It's not an emergency. And he says, yes, it is. Donald Trump is trying to get these illegals out of our states, and we have to do everything we can. And the rhinos, the ones who are running, basically, the ones who are running for his job, uh, and the ones that, you know, haven't been so helpful to him recently, they're the ones that are really slowing things down. But we're going to talk to him about that. But you have CNN going into Chicago and reporting all this sad, sad news. All this sad news yesterday. Oh, my gosh. We have Selena. Do we have the audio of Selena? She was so sad.

Glenn Beck (11:02)

So she says, apparently it's not okay to show empathy for people, and she's wrong there. The ability to understand and share feelings of one another, that. That is really, really important. It forces us to put ourselves in the shoes of other people and feel compassion for the situations that they face. It's what Jesus teaches, to feel empathy. Now, empathy is a, you know, can be a practical practice, a vital one even in the political world. Uh, you know, in 2020, one column in Foreign Policy argues, quote, it's harder to persuade a rival to alter its behavior if you don't understand its origins. That's why shutting people up is so bad. You, you have to talk to each other because we have to understand one another. And when we do, we can solve problems. It's like I just solved that problem with Columbia. I understand where she's coming from. Yeah, we agree. Perfect. Uh, it is a little hard to understand where Selena is coming from, but I, you know, I didn't invite her on the show to talk it out here. Uh, considering the only deportations occurring right now involve violent criminals who have been charged multiple times with serious crimes. But I digress here. The net of deportations widens. It's going to. And more ordinary migrant families are going to become affected. Maybe even migrants who you interact with in your own life. It shouldn't make you feel wrong when you feel empathy. That doesn't make you wrong. It also doesn't make you a liberal. It should, it should just. You should recognize it and proceed with caution. Because many like Selena and television are really manipulating compassion. They've altered it from a human Christ like emotion to a political weapon that monopolizes it only for certain groups of sufferers. You know, the. The term bleeding heart was first associated with liberals in 1938 in a column thanks to Westbrook Pegler. He was a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who had a knack for nicknaming rivals, kind of like Donald Trump. And while bleeding heart liberal isn't quite as catchy as Sleepy Joe or Tampon Tim, which is very good. It still stuck. And it was used again by Joe McCarthy during the Red Scare, then again by Ronald Reagan in the 80s to describe his past Democrat leaning ways. But was what was once considered an insult about the left is now their new mantra. They just, you know, they hung their hats on it. They're like, we're pleading hard liberals and you are just fascist Nazis. They're the compassionate ones who wanted everybody to have a fair shake. And so do I. So do I. The problem with far left compassion is it's only reserved for those who serve the political message that they're trying to push empathy for everyone. No, no, that can't happen. In fact, Empathy for anyone else that is labeled something else is racism, bigotry, homophobia, hatred. Just prior unfiltered evil, Hitler ism, whatever. Now you can have empathy and should have empathy for the black man killed on a subway after a drug laced tirade against other passengers. But if you're on the left, not the white man who stepped in to help, just the guy who was on drugs and out of control, you can have empathy for the clearly confused transgender team teen who is just trying to participate in sports at his or some would say her school. But you cannot have that sympathy for the girls, the females that it affects. You can have empathy for the migrants fearing what deportation will do to their families and their futures, the ones who illegally cross the border because the cartel backed kidnappings and assassinations were getting too close to home. But you cannot have empathy for those who have been severely affected, affected by Biden's open border policies, the ones that. You know that you can't have sympathy for anybody who might have lost a teenage daughter or anybody else in Denver where the gangs are out of control, or the ones who have been jobless for years because migrants are willing to do the same work for less, or the migrant children who have become victim, victims of human trafficking. You cannot, you can't have sympathy for the 300,000 children that the Biden administration lost track of. Don't have sympathy. Don't even talk about them. But I'm here to tell you that you should have sympathy for everybody on all sides. You should have empathy for any side, any person that is affected by this. Real empathy. See, empathy. Real empathy. Empathy has been absent from the left for far too long and it's caused dangerous situations. You know, on this side of the border, on the other side of the border, for the people who are, you know, getting up on a train and riding a death train to the border, that's. That's insanity. Where's your empathy for those people? So let's be empathetic, but let's not omit the facts and the illegality of those who are crossing the border. As long as you remember that in a situation like mass deportations, while the struggles on both sides may be very real and sad and worthy of compassion, at the end of the day, only one side acted incorrectly. Only one side broke the law. The other side did not. And if you believe injustice, there must be consequences. So no, Selena, it is okay to show empathy. In fact, we encourage it. In fact, I think our world needs more empathy. As long as the empathy is applied equally to all people affected. As long as your empathy doesn't erase truth. All right, let's talk a little more truth. The Ministry of Preborn is doing more right now to help champion the cause of life than just about anybody else out there. They're able to keep going because of people just like you who give. Because saving children from abortion actually means something to you. Today, the abortion pill accounts for over 60% of all abortions, and it's available pretty much 24. 7. That's why preborn is so important. In addition to what they're doing with free ultrasounds, they're also administrating this protocol for women who have attempted abortion but want it reversed. They have rescued over 300,000 babies from abortion. And every day, on average, they rescue another 200. When a woman is considering an abortion, she sees her baby on a screen and hears the heartbeat. The chance at life is doubled. If you have the means, would you help? I mean, 28 bucks sponsors one ultrasound, but if you want a leadership gift, your tax deductible donation of $5,000 will sponsor Preborn's entire network nationwide for 24 hours. You'd be the one responsible for rescuing 200 babies. To donate, dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby.

Ron DeSantis (26:33)

Well, you hit it on the head. They didn't want to do anything on illegal immigration. And after the election, I said, this is our chance. This is the number one issue the President ran on, and we need to get it right. And so there's no way President Trump can fulfill his mandate if the state and local governments and law enforcement are not actively supporting his deportation efforts. I mean, think about it. He's come out of the gate strong, but they've done about probably 700, 800 arrests on average a day. Let's just say 1,000. Well, extrapolate that out. 365,000 a year, times four. Biden let in 10 million illegals on his own. Now, I do think the Trump administration will ramp up. I think they'll get better numbers as time goes on. But if you just had every red state say all police departments, all sheriff's departments, all state agent law enforcement agencies have to participate maximally in the programs that the Trump administration's offering for immigration enforcement, you would increase those numbers dramatically. And that is what we have to do. We've got to be ready to go. We've got to work hand in glove. Now, what you'll have in California and in Chicago, they're going to be trying to sabotage Trump's agenda. There are going to be sanctuary jurisdictions. Now, we don't allow that in Florida, but I think most states who are not sanctuary, they're just going to say, hey, it's the federal government's responsibility. Yeah, we won't sabotage it, but we're not going to be in that fight. I don't think that that's adequate. This is a historic moment for this country. We've been Talking about this issue for decades. Yes, Trump is absolutely right by going after the cartels and designating them foreign terrorist organizations. Obviously we need to build the wall and fortify the border, but you have this massive problem of interior enforcement. And so that's what we're proposing, as well as other things that are important. Legislature didn't want to do it. I called the special session against their wishes. They said it was premature, that it could wait. But, you know, they got blowback from their constituen. So they thought if they came in gutted with the enforcement of doing what we need to do and just name it the Trump act, that somehow they would be able to get away with that. Obama named Obamacare the Affordable Care Act. Obviously, it wasn't affordable. Biden named his spending boondoggle the Inflation Reduction Act. Obviously, that didn't work out. So they're playing this game where they think if they put Trump's name on a weak bill, that somehow people think it's going to be good and it's totally inadequate. But here's the thing, Glenn. Before I became governor, Florida was very weak on illegal immigration. And part of it was they thought because Hispanic population here, you had to be. I proved that wrong because I was the strongest governor and I had a record Hispanic vote in 2022. So that was wrong. But then you do have this desire for cheap, illegal alien labor in some of these industries. And I think that's what these guys are trying to preserve. I don't think they want to see immigration enforcement the way you would need to to fulfill President Trump's mandate. So they made it sound like initially it was a difference of opinion on timing. But understand what they're proposing, it's a difference of values. The values that we all ran on, that Donald Trump got elected on, that all your listeners subscribe to those are reflected in the proposals that I did. They are not reflected in what the Florida legislative leaders are doing. And you mentioned the Commissioner of Agriculture. They're actually taking away immigran enforcement authority from the governor and putting it in the Commissioner of Agriculture, which is like the fox, fox guarding the hen house. They don't want, are you kidding me? Stripping some of the things I have now, like E Verify. They want to put that over there. So it's a really, really bad product. And here's the thing I think some of them are caught up in. Oh, well, we don't want the governor to get the win. You know, we're sick of him always doing all this stuff. I don't need pride of ownership. They can take 100% of the credit. I just want to get the job done. And if we're not doing what needs to be done right now to get ready for this, then there'll be some successes, don't get me wrong. But we're not going to be able to actually deliver on the mandate that the voters gave us. And here, just the final point I make. Republicans all run for four years in Florida. They all ran on bashing Biden's border policies, saying we needed to get tough, supporting Donald Trump's agenda in 2024. They all ran on that. Not one Republican ran and said, you know what? We just need to give it all to the Commissioner of agriculture. You know, state and local shouldn't be required to help the federal government. They wouldn't do any of that. And now they're bragging about they're gonna spend money on giving beds for illegals. I don't wanna house the illegals, I wanna deport the illegals.

Ron DeSantis (34:03)

Exactly. And the way the bill's written, you know, we think it's unconstitutional because it actually takes away some of the core executive power that is vested in the governor's office under Florida's constitution. So it's constitutionally suspect. It's also, as a policy matter, it is not going to work. And here's the thing. If their proposals were consistent with what they campaigned on and what actually works, and they had competing. Hey, if it works, it works. Their proposals will not work. I mean, think of even this issue. It needs to be a crime for illegals to register to vote. We've been trying to do this for years. That was in my proposals. They're not including that. So illegals can register in Florida under their proposal, and they're not requiring to sign an affidavit that they're US Citizen, which our constitution requires, and there's no penalty. Well, guess what, Glenn. If you let them register by the time they vote, even if you prosecute them after the fact, the vote counts, the time to stop it is when they try to register in the first place. And yet they're not doing anything about that. We have in our proposals a rebuttable presumption that illegals that get brought up on criminal charges are detained and then turned over to ice, they watered that down so that judges are just going to release these guys back on the street. So it's a lack of seriousness about what it really takes to get this issue right. And I can tell you this, when they proposed their so called Trump act, misnamed Trump Act, Democrats in the Florida Senate were high fiving them. Liberal media in Florida have been singing their praises. The ACLU of Florida tweeted, thank you for what you're doing. I can tell you this, Glenn, when we banned sanctuary cities, Democrats were not high fiving anyone. When we eliminated DEI a couple years ago, no Democrats were high fiving anyone. When we eliminated the woke, when we did the stop the gender insanity, when we did all those things that Florida became famous for, no Democrats were high fiving, no media was singing our praises. The ACLU was not in our corner. So if this is really a tough immigration proposal, then why are these people on the left embracing it?

Glenn Beck (42:50)

Foreign I were just talking about Brave the Dark. It's a new movie from Angel Studios. I saw it this weekend in the movie theater and it is so well worth your time. It is.

Glenn Beck (53:18)

Sheriff, thank you so much for everything you're doing in Florida. I really appreciate it. Wayne Ivey, he is the sheriff of Brevard County, Florida. I urge you to back sheriffs in your own area that take after Wayne or are as serious about the law as Wayne is and enforcing the law. And if you live in Florida, please call your Florida legislature or you're going to get the shaft. The Republicans, the, the just the weasel rhinos are at it again like they are here in Texas. And believe me, rhinos of Texas, you're done. You are done. Next time you run. We now have a very long memory and anyone who is standing in the way of getting things done, finally, we have a Politician. And in Florida, you have a few that actually mean what they say when they run, and they're changing everything. Your day of being a rhino is over. It's over. Sheriff, thank you so much. God bless you. Let me talk. You bet. Let me. Let me just talk to you about. About the truth of what's really going on. You know, there was a Babylon be that said. Democrats against concern about who will pick their crops. Uh, with heated debate taking place across the country over President Donald Trump's initiative to carry out mass deportations of illegal aliens, Democrats have found themselves once again concerned about who will be picking their crops. Just as they did in the 1860s, Democrats voiced opposition to any policy changes that would cause them to lose an overwhelming presented percentage of their staff to. And to keep them around to pick the produce in their fields. That's true. That's not a joke. That's true. I mean, parody now is so absolutely dead on with the truth. That's how far the Democrats have gone. And I mean, let me just. Let me just play a couple of things. Here are the Democratic elite. See if you can see what Nancy Pelosi was really upset about with illegals. Go ahead. We have a shortage of workers in our country. And you see even in Florida, some of the farmers and the growers saying, why are you shipping these immigrants up north? We need them to pick the crops down here. Okay, here's Jerry Nadler in 2024.

Glenn Beck (56:39)

Have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. Okay, so let's just review here. The people who are out in the fields picking crops, the dishwasher, the office cleaner. I mean, if I have to hear this from the left one more time. Oh, you know, we're the kind ones here. I mean, Donald Trump, have mercy on all of our workers. I mean, I mean, our neighbors. Well, not our neighbors. We wouldn't want any of those people anywhere near us with a lawnmower or a cleaning rag, but those people that work in our homes when we're not there. There they have. Literally, they are fighting for an indentured servant class, and they're calling this merciful. The. These people have jobs because they will work at wages that are illegal. Instead of going after the big ag, the big corporations that are trying to hire people for illegal wages, you have these compassionate people saying, no, no, we need these indentured servants. This is as far away from the American dream as you can possibly get. The dream is not to own a house and a car. It's a. It's the freedom to choose your own path, not the one the government has in store for you. We don't have a class system in America. Or do we? If you were born at the bottom, you can climb that ladder all the way to the top. Look at Vice, the vice president. I mean, he's a hillbilly, and yet he's now the vice president. But that's not the system the Democrats and the elites have in mind for illegal immigrants. We saw it with daca. Obama gave the dreamers the ability to stay and work in America. But every two years, they have to hope and pray that their benevolent overlords will renew their application. They're fully dependent, dependent on the will of the elites. Same with the millions of illegal immigrants. They crossed the border under Biden with a hope. With a hope. The government boarded them onto planes, flew them across the country, dropped them off in towns that quickly got overloaded. They found work wherever they could, often at the jobs that are less appealing to Americans for a reason. And they're underpaid illegally. And they were told at any moment the government could swoop in and take him away. What kind of life are you promising these people? Not to mention many of them got here with the help of the cartels. And those cartels will hunt them down and kill them if they're not paid back in either favors, employment, or cash. And then Biden's open borders let in thousands of violent gang members. And since these democratic sanctuary cities didn't prosecute crimes, these gangs could take over whole communities. So now illegal immigrants have to fear the government and the cartels and the violent thugs that can do whatever they want. But hey, hey, maybe they might someday. Maybe if Democrats are in charge, maybe gain citizenship one day. Or at least a reprieve for a couple of years. But you'll have to vote for him to make sure that you can get that citizenship. Maybe someday. In the meantime, you're in the shadows. You're working for people who don't mind slave labor. That's not merciful, that's a nightmare. Trump is the merciful one. He's starting by deporting all violent criminals. He started by telling the cartels enough is enough. Now, I'm not sure why anyone who, you know, looks at the cartels thinks that that's mercy. You're not crossing the border without the cartel. So how again are you the merciful one? Putting them into the hands of the cartels. But Democrats have made their their real goal very, very clear. Cheap labor that's fully dependent on them. No matter what the human cost. 300,000 children were lost by the Biden administration. What is the human cost of that? Now, that's not the America I know. Stopping, stopping this misery. That's not something worth crying about. That's something worth celebrating. I don't know. We had to tell the Democrats the last time, hey, no slavery. I guess they still haven't learned that lesson. So Jane wrote in, She's 71. She had pain in her knees and her right arm for years. She was constantly dragging, being dragged down, nothing.

His nomination process begins tomorrow and there's a lot of mis and disinformation about rfk. A lot of stuff that's being said about him is absolutely true. However, has he changed his view on anything? You know, will he give guarantees to Congress that he's going to be pro life? That's a big one. If you don't get James Lankford, you're not going to get the nomination Nation. I think that one is imperative and so far Lankford hasn't said one way or another, I don't think. And there's also things like there's 15,000 doctors that have signed a demand that RFK, he's not a doctor. He can't be a doctor. You know, you don't have to put anything in except your name to sign that. You just go online and you're like, I, Dr. Fullacrap and put an address in and Boom, your name, Dr. Fullacrap, is on that list. So really, is that true? It's true.

C.J. Pearson (73:11)

Glenn, I think this is really the next key point to make because, you know, he's getting, I think, very cynical pharma funded attacks on the pro life issue. And then you get to this vaccine issue, you get to this really idea that Bobby's going to come in and come in with strong opinions and start banning and regulating things. And I want to make something really clear, and this should be clear from what Bobby and President Trump has said during the campaign is Bobby is not a scientist and he is not coming in there with a list of medical opinions or even food opinions President Trump and Bobby have been very clear that the directive is to figure out what the heck is going on. On phase one of Maha is getting to the truth. It's getting J. Bhattisharya into the NIH. And right now, Glenn, 85% of NIH spending is pharmaceutical R and D. So what does that mean? It means they're not asking why we're getting sick, which you would expect the NIH to do. They're actually a fully owned subsidiary of the pharmaceutical industry that's profiting from the fact that we're getting sick. They're not asking why we're getting diabetes, why autism rates are going up, why heart disease rates are going up, why cancer rates going up. They're working on ineffective cancer jabs. They're working on ineffective band aids for Alzheimer's when Alzheimer's is actually preventable. So I think you're exactly right. We don't fully know what's going on. And I actually, and you know, this is my opinion, I think President Trump is going to win the Nobel Prize when Bobby Kennedy and Jay Bhadashar are done with the HHS and nih. Because if there's one accomplishment that can be made in the next two years, it's let's get back to science. Let's give the American people and policymakers accurate information that we're not getting. Because, Glenn, you know, I don't think Europe has very good health policy, but they're living 10 years more than us. Right. I think it's because the strong arm of mandates isn't as pronounced there, that there's more informed consent, that people are able to make better decisions. I mean, Baja is about, and what Bobby Kane's talked about is just getting back to science. And the last thing I'll say, Glenn, just being in some of these discussions, there's zero ideology. The directive from President Trump isn't to get to a specific outcome or solution on a food or pharmaceuticals or vaccines, whatever it is, to get money to the best scientists in the world so we can get figure out what's going on. So I think that's a very important point.

C.J. Pearson (75:41)

I think it's, I think we've been dragged into darkness inevitably, now that power is close at hand, you know, with pharma funding, pro life groups, ostensibly with, you know, so many interests at play and so much money at play. I mean, let's not forget healthcare is the largest and fastest growing and most employed industry in the country. There's a lot at stake here. And, you know, our message, my message going into this week is there was a spiritual strain hit during the campaign with Bobby Kennedy and President Trump. I mean, they talked about unimpeachable issues of, you know, figuring out why our kids are getting sick, getting absolute rank corruption out of our medical authorities that we saw during COVID I mean, why is, why is 75% of the FDA's drug approval department funded by pharma? You know, why are NIH folks during COVID employees able to take hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties? You know, why is the CDC able to have a nonprofit that accepts hundreds of millions of dollars from pharma to buy off the agency? These are very simple things. And even larger than that, Clint, I mean, I think what Bobby Kennedy and President Trump actually represented was Kennedy walking out on that stage with the sparklers, with President Trump, is that this administration is not about left versus right. This is not about debating page 300, the Medicare part D law. This is about taking on corruption. This is about unimpeachable issues. This is about true, on this issue, bipartisan reform. So I think, I know you saw that, Glenn. We talked throughout the campaign, and I know my sister has with you. There was something spiritual. So I think what we need to do this week is just remind people of the stakes, is remind people of the facts that, you know, kids, right, are the sickest American kids are the sickest kids in the world right now. And I would just urge Mitch McConnell or anyone on the fence, it can't be worse than what's happening now. Our public health authorities have totally failed us. Bobby Kinney and President Trump tapped into this unimpeachable spiritual issues of figuring out why our kids are getting sick. We need to give them a chance. And I'd say, Glenn, this is the will of the voters. There is no, no nominee that President Trump talked about more than Bobby Kennedy. You know, we didn't know who the Treasury Secretary was going to be, the Secretary of Defense, most other departments. He was very clear during the campaign in every single speech that he was going to turn over health to Bobby. This is a true campaign mandate. And, you know, it will be a disaster if senators overrule that clear mandate from voters.

Glenn Beck (86:59)

Sa 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. Oh my gosh. It's a good thing that, and I think Stu will agree with me, it's a good thing that New York Magazine exists. Otherwise we just wouldn't realize how racist we all are. They covered a story called the Cruel Kids Table. It was about a Trump inauguration party. And there was, there was like no black people there. And, you know, we, we got to the bottom of it. We have the guy who actually was responsible for that racist party, C.J. pearson. Pearson, who strangely is, is black himself. But we can leave that out of the story. We're going to talk to CJ in just a second. First, let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust now that you're not going to have to be looking over your shoulder wondering if and when the government's going to jump out and attack you. Maybe you have your mind, you know, and the idea of buying and selling a house. Maybe as the market begins to recover from its long national nightmare, now may be the time to, you know, pull the trigger on something like that. But if you do, the one thing you're going to need above everything else is a real estate agent that you can rely on. A real estate agent that knows the areas that you're selling or buying in. Somebody who is really dependable, hardworking, someone who knows the best practices is knowledgeable. Knowledgeable is ethical. Would be also another good thing. Someone you can actually trust. Well, that's why I built realestateagentsitrust.com it's a business built around the idea of trust. We've helped this audience for over a decade now. Billions of dollars in sales. We will pair you up with the agent that you need, whether you're just moving across town or all the way across the country. We'll help you find the real estate agent that's right for you. Real estate agents I trust. Real estate agents I trust. Dot com. Waiting for CJ Pearson to get on. Just a minute. Talk about this racist, unbelievable, racist party that was held in Washington, D.C. did you see the picture?

Glenn Beck (101:45)

I do, too. I do, too. There's a great article in the show Prep today. Let me see if I can find it real quick. About Republicans, Trust But Verify. It's from Blaze Media and it's absolutely true. Any of these people, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Trust yet Verify. I don't think any of them now Andreessen says Zuckerberg Berg has changed. He really. Yeah, he said he really believes that's an honest change in him. I don't know. But you know, he, he's been a coward for a very long time. Trust yet verify. And I think we need to do that with every single person that is coming into the administration or our local politics. You know, we were talking to Governor DeSantis earlier on the show today. If you missed it, make sure you listen to the podcast. Podcast. He's having trouble in, in Florida now with these rhinos and these rhinos are the ones that want to run for his job soon. And they've just voted. They called him back in session, which them off because. How dare you. This is a publicity stunt. No, it's not. He's saying we as a state have to dedicate our resources to help Donald Trump get rid of the illegal aliens. So I want everybody back in session to vote on some things to get it done. And what they did was, you know, e. Verify. You don't have to have that if you work in the agricultural department. What are you talking about? That you don't need to know if you're a citizen, if you're picking oranges. Don't you think that would be kind of a prime spot? And so as the czar again, the Rhinos, the Republicans in Florida, they vote in and they say, yeah, we're going to make a immigration czar, but he's also the head of the agriculture section. Come on. And they just gutted this thing and then named it Trump. It's like true Republicans under Mounties, whatever, right? It's some acronym that says, oh, we're true blue. We're going to go after the police illegals like crazy. In fact, it's named Trump. Oh, come on. Do you really think, what do you work for the New York magazine? Do you really think we're that stupid? Still Florida, please prove me correct on this, that we're not that stupid. Uh, call your, your representative if you live in Florida and say, hey, we, you know, we have one chance and any of you mealy mouth Republicans, we will remember you. That's not a threat, that's a promise. We will primary you and we will vote you out. We will work so hard to raise money against you. Texas, you should listen to this because this is what's happening in, in Texas as you Rhinos in the, in the state House House are playing your little games and giving all the power to the Republicans. Believe me, we have a. We're the state that remembers the Alamo. You don't think we can remember what happened three years from now? Come on, come on. Call your, your state legislator if you are in Florida and tell them to follow desantis. Not the rump. I'm sorry, Trump people that are actually not Trump people. They're rump people. Back in just a second.

Welcome to the the Glide Back program. The Colony Ridge, which we did a. One of our first documentaries on, is the. Is a big community of just, just good people that just want to be American. Americans that they were, you know, making loans to, but they don't. They're not even asking any questions about those loans. You don't have to be a U.S. citizen. What? Oh, I Don't need to know that information. So it's this huge, huge community in Houston that's a lot of illegals. I would say all illegals. But that seems a little rash to say that when I don't know for a fact. But, you know, the. Their gangs in there and everything else. Well, the government's going to clean it out. And let me just say this. It couldn't happen to a bunch of nicer people than the people that are running Colony Ridge. You're gonna be left with a ghost town, big ghost town, because I don't know who's gonna live there. Who's gonna live there.
