[00:00] One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you really feel disconnected without ever announcing itself. You're still in the room, you're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up. And sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit, and you're just hoping, don't ask me anything, because I don't know what we're talking about anymore. What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial, it's the process, it's the doctor appointments, the multiple visits, the adjustments, the price tag that makes you go, how is, what? So people wait, and you shouldn't have to. Audion was built to remove those barriers. They have the Atom X.

[02:29] The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 1:
[02:41] Well, hello America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program from our Command Central, if you will, in Dallas, Texas, at the Mercury Studios. We're so glad that you are here today. There's a lot to cover. I wanna start right with Iran. Talk to you about oil prices, gas prices, jet fuel. Are we gonna be able to go on vacation this summer, especially if you're planning on anything over Europe? Are you gonna be able to catch a plane and come back? The EU is like, no, I'm not sure I believe that, but there is something really important to understand strategically when it comes to the end of the ceasefire, which ends tonight, and are we gonna have continued ceasefire, or what is Trump gonna do? I'll explain coming up in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about rush tax. You made it through the day. That alone deserves some sort of ceremony. You know what I mean? Maybe a parade, maybe a nap. But now that the return is filed, a new feeling can show up. What if I missed something? Is there a number I was off on? What if I took a deduction I shouldn't have, or I forgot one that I should have taken? What if some letter arrives six weeks from now with the very official government font on that envelope that says, you're in trouble? Well, that's why rush tax resolution is there, so you don't have to think about that. When things happen, people deal with tax problems all the time, whether it's back taxes, IRS notices, penalties, collection issues, or just the stress of not knowing what to do next. They know all of the options. They know how to help you find a way. These people negotiate with the IRS all the time, and they can help you. Rush Tax is an A plus rated by the Better Business Bureau Tax Resolution Service, and they are the only company that I trust and recommend on this. They offer free IRS transcript investigation, and they will tell you up front for free if they can help you or not. They will only take your case if they can help you. Call them right now, 877-554-7874, 877-554-7874, or go to rushtaxresolution.com. All righty, let me tell you about what's happening with the Iran peace deal here. We are, it's not about trust, and I can guarantee you nobody's gonna walk out if this even happens today.

Speaker 3:
[04:55] Nobody's gonna walk out and go, you know what, I trust the other one. Iran said that they're gonna get rid of their missile program, and they're not gonna do any more of that.

Speaker 1:
[05:05] Nobody's gonna walk out and say this. This is not about trust. Nobody even trusts even, just even a little, nobody trusts each other. Iran says America is negotiating under violations because of the blockade and the ship seizures, and we sank one of their Navy's yesterday, one of their Navy vessels, wouldn't that amazing? I mean, get out. I thought it was really good because it sent the message of strength. We know exactly what we're doing and we're very targeted, but also of compassion. Get out of your engine room because we're going to strike you right in the engine room. Get out of the engine room. Now, the US believes that they are just stalling for time and hoping that our people will rise up and the economy will go into tailspin. But I'll show you in a minute why that is more likely to happen to them than us. But you never know, okay? The whole thing here is about one thing, and it's about leverage and who is going to blink. Who looks weak on the world stage? Who controls the escalation ladder? At the heart of it, there are two fights that are really important in this. One, the nuclear program. Iran is saying they're never going to give it up, and America's position is, yeah, yes you are, yes you are. Iran cannot under any circumstance be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Period. End of story. It's just not Donald Trump. This is all the way back to, I think even Jimmy Carter might have been saying that, but the first president besides Jimmy Carter was Ronald Reagan, and every single one of them has said this. Now, Iran's position is nuclear capability. We're not doing it for weapons, really. No, this is about sovereignty and energy and survival. We all know this is their ticket to become untouchable. Any nation with a nuclear weapon is untouchable, and then they hold the cards. That's why they will never truly give one up. They'll talk about it. They'll sign papers. They'll smile for the cameras, but history has shown us they negotiate in public, and they advance their program in private. That's why it has to be dismantled. Number two, the control of the Strait of Hormuz. There is no way that we are going to let the artery of the global economy be held by Iran. It's not gonna happen. If Iran can choke the strait, they can spike prices overnight, they can bring the Western economies to their needs, they'll hold the world hostage. They already are. So no, you can't have those two things. We cannot and must not, and we won't, allow a radical Islamic regime to have nuclear weapons and control over the global economy and energy.

Speaker 3:
[07:48] Just it can't, can't.

Speaker 1:
[07:51] This is not a regional squabble. This is about who controls the world's energy future and who sets the rule of deterrence in the 21st century. The question really is both sides are negotiating while actively preparing for war. The US is running military contingencies in case the talks collapse, Donald Trump is back saying, I'm going to hit the bridges and the power plants. He's not going to do that. He's just not going to do that. Yeah, I would be shocked if he did that. And I have to tell you, I'd have to see what exactly is happening. But if he went and hit all of the power plants and all of the bridges, I don't support that.

Speaker 3:
[08:32] I mean, that's your...

Speaker 1:
[08:34] And he's not going to do it. You would hurt the people of Iran, okay? Iran is ramping up all of the rhetoric. They're moving military assets, they're posturing, you know, and the ceasefire may not be extended at all. I think it's going to, because I'm going to show you in a minute the game that I think we're playing. But the talks are happening because the alternative is war and it's very real and both sides know it might happen, you know, as early as tomorrow. So here's what you need to do. Don't listen to any of the words come from any side. Don't listen to Donald Trump say, I'm going to blow up all the power plants and everything else. And don't listen to, we're not, you know, we're going to keep our nukes and everything else. Because neither of those are going to happen. If the talks are real, you're going to see a couple of things happen. One, Iran will show up at the table. We don't even know if they're going to show up and in person, not through proxies, okay? The Strait of Hormuz starts to open back up for normal traffic. That's number two. And then at least some verifiable movement in the limiting of their nuclear capability. Not vague commitments, but actual inspection steps, okay? Now, if this is just theater, and it might be, you'll see the opposite. You'll see stalling, you'll see refusals to attend. You'll see more incidents at sea, more missiles, more proxy attacks, you know, and that'll all happen with, oh, we're continuing talks. They're not, okay? They're not making peace, they're buying time. And who does that work for? Well, if I'm President Trump sitting in that chair, and I'm glad I'm not, this is his moment, and he is more than welcome to it. I know he is focused on verifiable nuclear limits. There is nothing that frightens this president. I could leave it at that. I was going to say more, but I think I could leave it. There's nothing that frightens this president, except nuclear war. That terrifies him, and it should, it should. So real inspections, dismantling of key capabilities, no hidden stockpiles. We've all seen the movie before. They talk, they cheat, they advance. Boom. Second thing, real guarantees on the straight of our moves. If Iran walks away still holding the ability to shut it down, then this was not worth what we've done. It's unacceptable, and the president knows that. He also needs to be able to read the internal pressure inside of Iran. This is why I think these peace talks and the ceasefire is happening. Because what you do is you take an enemy like this, you take an enemy and you push them all the way to the wall, and then you're trying to separate the people who want to live from the people who don't care if they live because they're on some religious jihad. You cannot negotiate with people who don't care if they live or die. They think they're hastening the return of the promised one. Can't negotiate with those people. We don't know who's in charge. We need the people who want to live to sit down at the table and then to be able to actually do something. Last few days, they've said the IRGC is in charge. I'm not sure the IRGC is in charge. Nobody is. But we will see as we move along. What these peace talks and what this break in war is really all about is an advantage to the US. We're not killing more people. We are holding the line. We are buying time. I'll tell you why that's really important here in a second. We are buying time and we're able to keep poking in and saying, hey, we'd like to talk to somebody and we're seeing who are we talking to. There's a chance this ends in conflict. But if it does, it's not just because of Iran. In fact, it's really not about Iran right now. It is about global energy control. Who? Everybody has said my whole lifetime, and I have too, I hate the war for oil idea. We go over there all the time and we may not be fighting for oil, but we're fighting for the peace over there, so oil can flow. So it is a war for oil in a way, okay? We cannot continue the fight for oil. You cannot have a strong Iran that has the ability to close down the Strait of Hormuz. You cannot have it, and you can't have them with nuclear weapons because they will use them. That's what this is really all about. Who controls the oil because that controls the economy, and if you have Iran out of the picture, we can come home. Let the Middle East deal with all of that. But you've seen nobody else in the world, Europe. Europe is now talking about they're not going to be able to have planes up in the sky by June. You're not going to be able to fly anywhere because they have no jet fuel, and yet you're not willing to send an aircraft carrier down there to protect and get that oil. What the hell is wrong with you? That doesn't make any sense, which leads me to another theory, if I have time, I'll get to later today. I have so much to talk to you about. But that's what this is really all about. I have no idea how it's going to work out tonight. I know that I would be shocked if the President of the United States did some of the things that he said he was going to do. I'm going to blow up all of the, that's the latest. I'm going to blow up all of the bridges and I'm going to blow up all of the power stations. That's ridiculous. What he should do is he should have a giant off-on switch installed right there on the desk and it should just be Tehran and lights on, lights off. Lights on, lights off. We have the cyber capability to do it. Go in, hack at the power company and just give a speech with the little switch and he's like, right now watch the lights in Tehran.

Speaker 4:
[15:08] Blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink.

Speaker 1:
[15:10] Turn them off and off. We control your power. We control everything in your country. We have the capability. I don't know why we wouldn't do that. But you can't destroy the power plants. You can't. Okay. So why do I say that we are stalling for time? Iran thinks it's best to stall for time because they think we'll fold. And I think there's a chance that if this drags on and on and on, America will fold. However, they don't have the kind of time that we have. I mean, if this drags on through the election, coming this fall, yeah, it's going to be a real problem. But they don't have until this fall. And I'll explain that coming up in 60 seconds. First, kibble is not the pinnacle of canine nutrition. I don't know if you know that. It's heavily processed, cooked at high temperatures, stripped of all of the stuff that made the original ingredients worth eating in the first place. And every now and then, you hear about yet another recall that makes you look at a bag in your pantry and go, hmm, is that good? Was this made in China? It's what your dog eats every day. And it's fair to ask, is that really good enough for the animal who thinks you hung the moon in the stars? So I want to tell you about rough greens. Rough greens is not a dog food. It's a nutritional supplement. You add it to your existing food. So they get the vitamins and the minerals and the probiotics and the omegas and all of the things that are alive that are missing now from your processed pet food. So if your dog has been eating the same brown pebbles for years, upgrade the bowl just a little bit without reinventing dinner time. Just get a jumpstart trial bag of something you sprinkle on top of the kibble food. It's rough greens. You just pay for shipping. They're going to send you the free trial bag at ruffgreens.com. Promo code Beck, RUFFGreens, ruffgreens.com. Promo code Beck. 10 seconds. Station ID. Okay, this is why Europe should be sending aircraft carriers. This is why the whole world should be paying attention to this right now and be pressuring. This is not an American thing. Unfortunately, I think this works to the advantage of the World Economic Forum, and that's the really unfortunate thing. But this is why they should be sending aircraft carriers and the whole world should care about this. Time is not on the Iranian side. It's not on our side either, but they have a very short event horizon, okay? They produce between three and three and a half million barrels a day. Their domestic use eats up $2 million, or 2 million barrels a day. That leaves 1 to 1.5 million barrels a day that has to go onto a ship and be exported. Why is President Trump sending all of these navies in and saying you're not even gonna go fill up? He'll take you out if you're going to fill up, not trying to get out, even fill up. Why is that? Because we need their exports to start stacking up because they don't have a shortage of oil. They have a shortage of storage space. They have storage space for about 20 million barrels. That can be filled in 10 to 15 days. Okay. Some analysts say they are 10 days away before they have to shut down. So that's the two week clock you've been hearing about. And they're right around that time. As soon as Trump said, I'm closing and we're not letting anything in or out. If they, if they can't get a ship to their dock and fill that ship, whether it even gets to China or anywhere else, they've got to fill that ship. Okay. This means that they could have days to maybe, maybe if everything were empty, eight weeks before real pain starts to hit. Okay. At 90 million barrels of storage, they can put, if everything was empty, they could have up to two months of production before they have to cut it. But the storage isn't empty. Logistics aren't smooth. They would have to have no bottlenecks. And the reality check is that's not going to happen. None of those things are true. So they're going to hit a cliff and the pressure is already there. They are probably most likely slowing down production. And then they have to make serious production cuts and stops on some of these wells. When you have to shut down the wells, you're toast, you're toast. It doesn't wreck it, but it can take you up to a year to be able to start it again. Something that was doing, you know, a hundred, let's just say a hundred barrels a day. When you restart it, it wouldn't be unnatural for it to now be producing 20 barrels a day, not a hundred. So the output, if things go well, the output is dramatically cut. But if things don't go well, then you have a really, a real problem. In fact, I looked this up today. Let me see if I can find this. What they say actually happened, because I've never, crude oil begins to thicken and separate. Waxes and asphaltenes start to solidify in all of the parts and the pipes. Water and gas pockets shift in ways that are hard to control. Restarting a well once you've stopped it is not guaranteed. That's the timeline Iran is under, because even the IRGC needs the oil money. You can't have worldwide terror if you don't have money, and they are within days of having to shut things down. We think, we think. That's what this is really all about. That's why Trump is saying, you know what, I want a two week time period. I'm gonna shut down the Strait of Hormuz. As soon as they went to the table, you know what he, you saw what he did. They're at the table. What did he do? He began sweeping for mines, and then he put the Navy in there, and he's like, yeah, nobody's coming in or out. You can go into any other country here, but you're not going to Iran. Smart. The minute they sat down at the table, he knew how to choke them to death. That is the fear that they're under. What they're hoping is that we will tear ourselves apart. I have to tell you, I listened to some podcasts. I never listen to other people podcasts. I was listening to some podcasts yesterday, and my gosh. I mean, the choice to be cynical on this, it really is a choice because we don't know how this is going to end. We don't really know what's going on, and everybody is choosing to be so cynical on this. Why don't you save yourself the angst and be like, I don't know what's going to happen. I care and I'm paying attention and it could get ugly really fast, but right now, the only ugly part is the gas prices and the food prices that are coming, and we need this to end, but I'm not going to be cynical. I don't understand why everybody is almost rooting for the United States to lose this. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not going to be that way. Sorry, I'm rooting for the good guys to win. What about you? A lot of people stay with their mobile phone company the same way people stay in bad relationships. You know, they cost them too much, it annoys them, but deep down, they should have left long ago, but it's such a hassle. If that sounds familiar, here's some good news. The sooner you switch to Patriot Mobile, the sooner you can stop overpaying for service and start keeping more of your own money. In a lot of cases, I mean a lot more, but this is more than just price. I've told you for years now, the big mobile companies take your money and they take their profits and they funnel it into things that you don't believe in, organizations you should never support, and a culture that seems determined to move the country in the wrong direction. Well, Patriot Mobile is different. Now, they are on the same cell towers as everybody. They're using the same systems, but they're not giving all that money to the people who built those systems. They're paying a fraction of what we would pay, so you get exactly the same service, but you are not lining their wallets with cash, so they can spend it on Planned Parenthood.

Speaker 1:
[25:01] I wanna thank Pat Gray for filling in for me yesterday. I was in Las Vegas, doing some work over the weekend, looking at some new technology. And boy, the world has changed so much. Technology is, it's amazing what can, what can be done now and what is coming. But Saturday, I got into town, and I got a call from a friend of mine, Donny Osmond. And he said, hey, I just started a new show. I mean, he's had the number one show in Vegas for like, I don't know, 20 years. And he said, just started a new show. Love to have you come and see it if you're in town. I said, I happen to be in town. And I happen to be with his nephew, David, David Osmond. And David and I are really close, good friends. And his father had just been put into hospice. His father is Alan Osmond, the founding member of the Osmonds. And he is the guy who really was the steady hand behind everything. He was, he was the one that held everything together and pushed and pushed and pushed to do the right thing. I mean, most people don't have any idea. They think, oh, the Osmonds, they were super rich or whatever. All of their money was stolen from their agencies, their talent agencies. They had people rip them off blind and then tell them right at the end, oh, by the way, you're broke. And they could have declared bankruptcy, but the family didn't want to do that. They decided they'd sell absolutely everything they had. So none of them got rich. None of them got rich. They worked all of that time, made all of that money, and somebody stole it from them. And then they ended up paying every debt back themselves. And Alan was responsible for a lot of that, just putting everything together. And he was the guy who started with Andy Williams and Walt Disney, with the little barbershop quartet. He was one of the main writers of all of the hits. But what people don't know off stage is he had been diagnosed with MS And MS is a brutal disease. My good friend Doug, his son, also has MS And I have watched him go from complete paralysis, not being able to walk in a wheelchair for a while, to being able to walk again. He's had some miraculous times. But you never know that man is in pain. And he is in massive pain. And he watched his father quietly deal with this, never retreating, always organizing and building and doing good for everybody. I called Alan on Saturday night. And I just wanted to tell him how much I love him. And thanks for what he's meant to me and my family. And it was amazing because his family was around him. I was with his brother and his son, and he was cheering everybody else up. He kept talking about how excited he was to go home and be free of what his body had been doing to him. He's an amazing man of faith. But anybody who grew up with the Osmonds, the man who was part of my childhood soundtrack, who I didn't know at the time was the anchor and the builder and eventually would become kind of a brother, leaves behind a legacy that is so much more than music. Alan Osmond. Thank you, my friend. Okay, a couple of other things. Gosh, I don't want to do the... Michaela, I work with somebody who is in their 30s, millennial, and every day, I have to hear about sperm counts and what's happening, and I'm like, Michaela, I'm not going to talk about... She's like, you have to. We're not having babies anymore. And I'm like, I don't know. I think it's because the Japanese are with robots. I don't know why it's happening. And she's like, well... So she said to me, she said, this was last week. And every day, she's like, have you talked about the marijuana sperm count thing? I'm like, no, I... So she said, Sarah, she did something to make it more palatable. I don't think that's necessary. What is she saying? I'm like, it's like dad talking about how hot your mom is? Okay. Let me actually, it's going to be like that. It's so uncomfortable. The sperm update you didn't ask for, I didn't ask for, but apparently you must know a complete and other other scandal that weed has no side effects. It's according to the millennial on my staff. Apparently, it does have bad side effects. It damages your DNA. And one of the favorite, I guess, ma-ha podcasts is Huberman Lab. I don't know. I don't know. Apparently, because she listens to all of them, featured a IVF specialist who said that THC use from dads can double the miscarriage risk, even if moms never smoked in their life ever. Because THC rewrites genetic instructions in the sperm, and it attacks the genes that are needed at the most vulnerable stage and the earliest parts of the baby's life. So one of the reasons why apparently we're not having kids is because everybody is saying, no, no, no, pot's okay. No side effects. It's just like alcohol, whatever. It's not. It's not. Especially if you're trying to have babies, and it can take six months for men's sperm to recover from cannabis damage. But we are crashing all over the country, and how many people have walked around going, you know, weed is not, it doesn't have any side effects, it doesn't have any problems. It does, especially if you care about the future of the human race. How am I doing, Michaela? Am I all right? The future is going to belong to those who are born, period. We can fight radical Islam, but with whom? By the way, they don't allow weed. They have more babies than all of us. In fact, several families, I mean, the Osmonds don't exist anymore. I don't know if you know that. Nobody is having, the Mormons and the Catholics are not doing their job. They're letting us down. Where are the big families? And now we are inadvertently sterilizing ourselves. And we are wiping out a generation. We have to have kids. We have to have kids. You want children? That's good. Have them. Don't smoke weed. Because the future is going to belong to those who are born. And right now, Islam is winning. And I don't want my kids or my grandkids growing up in a world where they have to bow to Allah. Sorry. Call me a hater. Don't want it. Jason, before I move off this hour, is there anything that I missed in Iran with the peace deal?

Speaker 6:
[33:45] I don't think so. I think the big question now is, is there even going to be a peace deal? It seems like there's confusion all over the place. It seems like we're sending a delegation, even though that was kind of disputed a couple days ago, but it sounds like we are. It sounds like the rumors that Iran's not even sending a peace deal, which is kind of wild.

Speaker 1:
[34:02] Didn't we leave here Friday saying that it looked like it was coming to an end?

Speaker 6:
[34:09] Yeah, on Friday, it was, the Strait is now open. The Iranians were agreeing with that, per the political leadership in Iran. And then all of a sudden, they kind of backtracked again, as they've done multiple different times through this process, and said, wait a minute, no, the Strait is not open, and they fired on a couple of ships. I don't really think they understand who is in power. I think the political leadership is trying to get power. I think the IRGC is on the other side, saying, no, we're the ones that have power, and while this turmoil and infighting is happening, the blockade remains in place. I don't think that we have to rush to anything. I think we just sit back, and as you were describing that crisis that's happening with their oil wells just filling up with nothing, nowhere to send it to, just let that happen. Just let that happen.

Speaker 1:
[34:57] What is it, Jason? I mean, I was looking at the news yesterday, and I'm like, nobody's explaining any of this stuff, and we are just arguing about oil prices, and we're arguing about sending troops in, or who tricked Donald Trump into whatever. And nobody is just saying, guys, they've got about 10 days left. Then you should worry about oil prices. If you don't get in there, and they have to shut down those wells, now you're talking about long-term damage.

Speaker 6:
[35:29] Speaking of long-term damage, it's amazing. What Iran has done is a historic miscalculation in playing this card that was built or conceived back in the late 1970s, early 80s, when more oil was transiting out of the Strait of Hormuz. It's almost like they were still thinking that that's still the case, so there's no other options. What has this blockade done? What has them, actually, what has Iran decided to play this card done now? What have we seen with diversification? The Saudis have now built their east-west pipeline almost at full capacity right now, completely bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. There are other tankers that are now headed towards the Gulf of America to fill up. Everyone is looking at other options. And them playing this card, it's almost like their last death throw. It's their last move, and it's now hastening their demise. If there was any other war in history that was progressing along these lines, they would say this country is finished, it's done, but that's not what the left is trying to portray through the mainstream media or what they're saying now. It's insane.

Speaker 1:
[36:28] And with Europe, with exception to the Green New Deal, why would Europe get to a place to where they say they may be six weeks away from not being able to fly jets?

Speaker 6:
[36:41] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[36:42] That, you know, if you have a plan, especially in June, July, August of going over to Europe, you may not be going to Europe. They may not be able to even fly across the continent because their jet fuel is almost out. That's what they keep saying. What would your motivation, other than if you're a WEF fan, what would your motivation be for not helping America secure the strait?

Speaker 6:
[37:07] I don't think that they actually can. I was just talking with the insiders now on the degradation of the Royal Navy. They have been so into being drunk off of US defense production and cash over the past, for decades since the end of World War II, that they've let their entire defense industry degrade. And now, not only do they not have the experience to do certain things militarily throughout the world, but they just don't have the money to give to any kind of enforcement. And also, they don't really even have the hardware to do any kind of long-term commitment. So, I mean, this war has brought out of the shadows into the light so many different things. Allies, dependence on the United States for multiple different things, defense being a huge one. Possibly the fact that maybe they could have been looking at reliable energy, you know, for the past, what, since 2015, when they went just absolutely crazy on the Green Deep New Deal. They could have been looking for alternative forms in the event of a crisis, but none of them were on board with being responsible. Now all of that is coming out.

Speaker 1:
[38:10] It's crazy. All right. Thank you so much, Jason. Let me tell you about Super Sure. Business insurance can feel a little like a Gordian knot, you know, the ancient level about the knot so tangled and complicated that nobody could untie it. People stood around studying it, getting nowhere. If you've ever looked at your policies, your coverage options, your deductibles, limits, the exclusions, the fine print, do you even know what you have? I mean, it's like a Gordian knot. What should bring you peace of mind ends up causing you stress if you're a small business owner. Alexander the Great showed up and solved the knot. He cut it. That's what Super Sure does for insurance. They help cut through all of the confusion and the jargon. And you don't need the law degree just to understand what you're buying. You'll understand it. You'll be able to use it. You'll know if you have too much coverage, not enough coverage. If you're covered for all the things you need to be covered, go to supersure.com/beck right now.

[39:44] Most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about what may or may not be in our tap water. You turn the faucet on, you fill a glass, and you assume it's fine. And it's been that way all of our lives, right? Right, right? Well, when you were a kid, you didn't even think about, you know, filling your water from, glass from the tap with water, of course not. And maybe you haven't as an adult either, but there are studies looking at, what is it, atrazine that is a common agricultural pesticide. You know, there are all sorts of weird things that happen with animals of this stuff, and it's known to run off into water sources. There's fluoride that the government puts into water, of course, you know, for teeth, but like, you know, do you want that? Do you not want it? Do you want to take it out? You can.

[41:24] I want to bring Ricky in to the fold here for just a second. Chris Murphy has been ratioed for seemingly celebrating Iran outwitting our military in the blockade, I guess. He's saying that, you know, that was a sarcastic comment. He said something like, good, or great, something like that. And you could read it as sarcastic. I don't give them the benefit of the doubt on that. But, you know, a person who is reasonable could absolutely look at that and say, no, he was saying that sarcastically. But did you see, Ricky, what he said in Europe?

Speaker 5:
[42:00] I mean, you might think that he was being sarcastic when he says awesome about Iran getting through our blockade. But then you would have the evidence of him going overseas to slander America. So with those two paired closely together, I'm thinking he doesn't like America.

Speaker 1:
[42:17] Right. What was his quote?

Speaker 5:
[42:20] Well, we have it. It's cut seven.

Speaker 1:
[42:22] Oh, cut seven, please.

Speaker 8:
[42:23] I want to bring you greetings as well from a nation that is in crisis. I'm not going to sugar coat the gravity of what we face right now in the United States. This is the most significant threat to American democracy since the Civil War. Donald Trump in our country is trying to end our democracy.

Speaker 1:
[42:42] Unbelievable.

Speaker 8:
[42:44] We are not on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. He is trying to seize control of our courts, of our law enforcement, of our media, of our elections. His goal is oligarchic capture.

Speaker 1:
[43:00] Okay, so this is what you do if you believe in a global system. You go over and you talk to the people on the other side and you say, we're in a civil war. We are in the middle of a hostile takeover. We need your support. You don't have a conversation like that in front of a group of political people over in Europe. I mean, that is shameful. Absolutely shameful what he's done. And just a lie, an out and out lie. Who's the one voting in Virginia to go against your own constitution so you can change the vote, Chris? Which side? You or the Republicans? There is a difference between boots that look good and boots that feel right the second you put them on. Or there was until Tacovus.

Speaker 1:
[45:58] Hello America, welcome to The Glenn Beck Program. I wanna talk to you about the Federal Reserve. Oh my gosh, Glenn, could you really? Really, cause that sounds so exciting.

Speaker 3:
[46:06] I know, I know.

Speaker 1:
[46:10] I know it sounds boring as snot, but there is something really important to understand about something. The Federal Reserve, what a shock, has lied to us. This whole thing has been a lie. Why are you paying higher interest rates? Why? You're paying higher interest rates to fight inflation, correct? What the, when the Federal Reserve raises the interest rate, that means it takes more money out of your pocket and they're supposed to take that money and burn it, destroy it. So we had like two and a half trillion dollars, we had to suck back in and that's why we have high interest rates. Because we had to bring all that money in. What did they actually do? Oh, this is going to blow your mind. They are so dishonest and the Fed comes to mind. I'll talk to you about it here in just a second. First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. If you've decided to sell your home and move someplace else, good luck. I mean, it could be really good, could be really, really tough. I don't know what the market is around you. I do know this. I started real estate agents itrust.com a few years ago, maybe 10, and the last two years have been the best years of any of these real estate agents' career. They're having record years. Now, why is that? I thought you couldn't sell. No, no, no, you can sell. You just have to be one of the best of the best. We started with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to The Wall Street Journal. We learned from them, we modeled them, and then we started looking for others like them. And that's who we're going to turn you on to. There's no obligation. You just write to us and say, hey, I'm moving from here, selling here, buying here. You know, real estate agent, we'll send you a couple of names. You just try them out. You just interview them. I think you'll see the difference. Even in this tough market, they can help you buy or sell a home. The name says it all. Real estate agents, itrust.com. All right. I thought this weekend, how am I going to explain the Fed and what they've just done? So hear me out. Let's imagine the US economy is like one giant, never ending house party that's been raging for years. And the Federal Reserve is the bartender in charge of the punch bowl. The punch bowl, that's liquidity, easy money flowing through the banks and the markets and the businesses. The more punch you get and the more punch gets handed out, the more people get sloppy. And they're like, I love you, man.

Speaker 3:
[48:51] You're the greatest.

Speaker 10:
[48:53] Uh-huh. You know what you should do? We should buy some socks. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[48:59] That's not a good time to think about anything logically when you are sloppy drunk. So this is when stocks and houses get wildly overpriced. Companies borrow stupid amounts for the...

Speaker 10:
[49:12] I got an idea. Let's create energy out of nothing.

Speaker 1:
[49:18] That's brilliant.

Speaker 10:
[49:19] All of us in that here. Let's have more punch.

Speaker 1:
[49:23] A little too much punch and everybody starts to do stupid things, right? You've been there. Not enough punch. And everybody's like, this party kind of sucks. I mean, to be around all these people and talk to them, I have to be at least a little tipsy to enjoy myself. Okay? So you want a little bit, but you don't want too much. Okay? If you have too little punch, everything grinds to a halt. That in the economy, people lose their jobs, stocks crash, everybody feels like the hangover and they're like, okay. So what was the Fed trying to do? What was the bartender at this never-ending America party doing? Well, back in 2022, they just printed a whole buttload of money. Okay?

Speaker 10:
[50:12] We were like, you know what? Everybody should have more money, more money for everybody.

Speaker 1:
[50:17] I'm filling up a bench bowl. And everybody started, you know, breaking the furniture. Everything just got ugly. Then the Fed stepped in and went, okay, okay, okay, maybe we should sober up just a little bit. So time for everybody to sober up and go home. And so they announced what is called quantitative tightening. I'm tight. Basically, what they did is they drained the punch bowl. They said, we're going to get rid of some of the punch bowl and we're going to get rid of all of the excess in there because we put way too much alcohol into this punch. Okay. And they needed to spend down, if you will. They needed to get rid of $2.3 trillion worth of bonds that they owned. And they said, we're just going to let them expire. We're just going to let them mature without buying any new ones. Okay. In theory, this drains the money out of the system. Okay. Makes it harder for you to get loans and everything else. Borrowing is more expensive. The bubbles will pop. It forces the economy to sober up. The next day, you're like, when did I buy pets.com? You were hammered, man. You were hammered. Okay.

Speaker 10:
[51:36] Now, pets.com, it's going to work, it's going to be great.

Speaker 1:
[51:39] They don't sell pets.

Speaker 10:
[51:41] I don't know what they sell, but it's pets.com. Hey.

Speaker 1:
[51:48] So they were telling us that everybody's getting sober. What did they actually do? Well, during the wild pandemic years, the Fed had poured so much punch that a lot of it ended up in a giant backroom keg called the Overnight Reverse Repo Facility. We've talked about these. Now we know what was going on. These are money market funds, big investors, big banks, and they parked about $2.5 trillion in for safekeeping, and they were earning a safe interest rate from the Fed. Let's just park your money here in the back door of the Fed. By 2023, something had changed. The short-term Treasury bills, super safe government IOUs, started paying higher interest than the keg in the back room. So the big investors said, why are we letting all the alcohol sit in the keg?

Speaker 10:
[52:51] We can have a party elsewhere.

Speaker 1:
[52:55] So they started draining the back room keg, $100-$200 billion every single month, and they poured that money right back into stocks and bonds and lending. So they weren't getting it from the punch bowl. No, there was a, what's the passcode? There was a speakeasy in the back of the Fed. The Fed was draining the punch in front of everybody else by $2.3 trillion, but the back room keg was refilling it by $2.5 trillion plus interest. So, the net effect here, more punch for everybody.

Speaker 10:
[53:37] In fact, it was more punch than we started with in the first place, about $200 or $300 billion more. Party!

Speaker 1:
[53:46] That's what they did. That's why the Dow Jones keeps hitting new highs. Government keeps funding huge deficits. They don't feel the tightening. You're not seeing the tightening there, you're seeing the tightening with you. The bartender was pretending to cut off the drinks while secretly letting the elite guests go into the back room and get the hidden stash. That's why the whole thing is distorted. Easy money, the extra punch, encourages people to do what? People make stupid, dumb bets when they have too much money around. When money is free, when it's expensive and scarce, you pop the bubbles. When it's not scarce, you grow bubbles.

Speaker 10:
[54:37] Pissed out calm!

Speaker 1:
[54:39] Real estate, private equity, everything, and government hooked on cheap borrowing. So last week, I saw something, and I have not been one to say AI is a bubble, because AI is real. And then I saw this story. All birds, AI. And I'm like, wait, I'm not drunk, so I gotta quit. The shoe company?

Speaker 10:
[55:09] It's a tennis shoe company. Okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 1:
[55:12] Okay, they tried to make tennis shoes.

Speaker 10:
[55:13] It went for a while, and then they went out of the business and had to sell the whole thing. But they kept the name, and now they are doing stuff with AI. What are they doing with AI? I don't know. It's pets.com, pets.com, pets.com. Invest now. It's all burs, you know, all burs.

Speaker 1:
[55:33] Yeah, they made shoes.

Speaker 10:
[55:34] No, they're doing AI now. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1:
[55:38] Oh my gosh, if that doesn't sound like a raging alcoholic talk, I don't think I've heard one. So they avoided the pain of quantitative tightening because they were draining in the back. They didn't clean up anything. You're hurt, you're hurt, but the big guys aren't and that all accounts. And they've, they're making the hangover worse because, you know, mathematics, if you don't fix the problem, it's only going to get bigger. So now they've run out of the hidden refill. Now, the Punchbowl is empty and the back room is closed too. Yeah, it is, it is. So what do they have to do?

Speaker 10:
[56:34] Quantitative easing.

Speaker 1:
[56:36] No, no, no, we would never do quantitative easing. Are you kidding me? No, we're not doing that. Okay. I mean, we're going to buy about $40 billion a month in securities, but this isn't quantitative easing. This is reserve management purchases.

Speaker 10:
[57:02] They are not calling it quantitative easing. It is reserve management purchases. No way you're going to figure that one out. Oh my God.

Speaker 1:
[57:17] So what is the point of this? Look out, gang. You've been lied to yet again. You've lost. They win. When I say they, who are they? Who is the Federal Reserve?

Speaker 3:
[57:37] The United States government.

Speaker 1:
[57:39] No, it's not. No, it's not. Nope. The Federal Reserve of the five biggest banks in the union. Gee, what are the five banks that don't ever seem to go down or have a problem? They just keep getting bigger and gobbling up all the other banks. Yeah. We can't tell you for sure because nobody knows who they are.

Speaker 10:
[58:06] Nobody needs to know who the bank is.

Speaker 1:
[58:11] I don't know. I think it's probably pretty important because they're impoverishing all of us and making themselves bigger and bigger and bigger. This is not the federal government. We got our own problems with the federal government. This is the federal government covering for them. This is the federal government. Nobody has the balls to say, you know what? You're a criminal organization. You're stealing from the American people and it's time it has to stop. And the Fed. More in a minute.

Speaker 10:
[58:44] I love my mother and Mother's Day is around the corner.

Speaker 1:
[58:51] Mother's Day has a way of making you think more about more than just gifts. It makes you think about memories and the sound of her voice in the kitchen, the way that she would laugh at her own jokes and never really get them right. I don't know. That was just my mom. She never really remembered. It was funny because she could never remember the punchline. And they were very complex jokes. Anyway, the family vacations, the school plays, the birthdays, you know, everything that mattered. Mother's Day. Right now, my wife is with my daughter who just had her tonsils out at 20. And Cheyenne is like, oh, I think I have a case of the vapors. I just cannot stand anymore. It's been a tough road for her for the last week. And I'm like, come on, Tanya, she's 20, she can handle it. She's like, are you kidding me? I am not leaving my daughter alone with the vapors. That's what mom, that's what good moms do. Dads usually are like me. We suck at those things. Moms make all the difference. Take all those memories that are trapped in old tapes and old film reels and photo negatives and boxes of media that you can't even play anymore. They are sitting in a closet or an attic somewhere waiting for someday and someone. Well, that someone is you and the someday is today, Legacy Box. They make it easy to send in your own home videos, your photos, your recordings. Their team digitizes everything by hand here in the US. Then you get all of the originals back plus a thumb drive or on the cloud or whatever along with the originals. We have used Legacy Box at the museum. I've used Legacy Box countless times over the years to make record of my family. Make sure we preserve what the family did over the years. Join 1.5, which is a lot of drinking.

Speaker 10:
[60:39] I'll tell you that right now. I don't need any more pictures of everybody being drunk and passed out.

Speaker 1:
[60:45] That's the Beck Family album. Anyway, Legacy Box, legacybox.com/records. Save 60% during their Mother's Day sale right now. 60% off. It's legacybox.com/records. 10 seconds. So what all of that means to you and your family is, there is a difference between a slow leak in your roof, and then what happens after you have patched and repatched poorly that slow leak in your roof. I just, I don't want to say, cause I, this is my intellectual understanding, and I'm not an expert on any of this, but the stock market has been running on the backdoor juice. The stock market, and it could lose its fuel, and when that happens, you could see your 401k, et cetera, et cetera, and borrowing costs. The good news is, with inflation going up, credit cards, mortgages, car loans, everything else, gonna stay high. It's gonna stay high because they never drained the punch bowl. They've been lying to us. That's the biggest thing about this. Donald Trump has been saying, lower the interest rates, lower the interest rates. No, we can't do that because inflation might come roaring back. By the way, passcode today for the backdoor speakeasy is Trump's a moron. He's never even seen it coming. Oh my gosh, he should shut them down. He should shut them down. Anyway, so it could get painful here for a while with their groceries and the rent and everything else, I think because of what the Fed did, and they've been saying they've been fixing the problem from the pandemic printing and they haven't been doing a damn thing. Now. I mean, I'll save the rest of it tomorrow.

Speaker 10:
[63:02] I think you've had enough bad news for today. I don't think I can take it anymore.

Speaker 1:
[63:08] Okay, we'll move on. I'll save the rest of it for tomorrow, because there's more things that you need to know. But the good news is, let's go to Washington where they're fixing everything. Let's talk about John Thune.

Speaker 10:
[63:22] I love that guy.

Speaker 1:
[63:26] Allegations now, according to Ricky, what is the... Oh my gosh, it's Punchbowl News, isn't it? Isn't that the...

Speaker 5:
[63:36] Yes. Well, Annapallina Luna is the one who tweeted last night that despite him making moves like he would have Congress pass the SAVE Act or at least go through the motions of having a vote, that is no longer happening. Punchbowl News, who we made famous about a month ago, thanks to Data Republican at glennbeck.com, they are the Washington news site that basically takes the talking points from GOP establishment and then launders them through a newsletter to make you feel like you know what's going on in Washington. And they're saying, guys like Senator Mike Lee, this is not the right way to get the SAVE Act passed by being loud on social media. You should just talk about it quietly with your peers behind closed doors.

Speaker 1:
[64:22] Right, right, because that's the way to answer the people. Unbelievable. Punchbowl News, isn't it appropriate, especially after that story, that it's called Punchbowl News? Because I have a feeling that's what it is. That's what it is. Just make every sloppy drunk, shh, don't talk so loud. Some of us have a headache here in the Senate.

Speaker 10:
[64:41] Mike Lee said, shut up, we're going to do something big one of these days.

Speaker 1:
[64:45] They're not. So they're going to return to the SAVE Act, that controversial bill. It's not controversial. It's not controversial with anyone except those in the Senate. After reconciliation. Wait, I thought the plan was to do it in through reconciliation. Oh, you can't do that.

Speaker 2:
[65:04] Shhh, quiet.

Speaker 1:
[65:06] Then they're also going to jam through FISA, which is, oh, that's great. And then Trump nominations package, which that absolutely has to be done. But a good thing that the Republicans got to it now, almost in the second year of his term. And now Mike Lee and others are saying, nuke the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act. And I have to tell you, I think I'm for that. I have not been for nuking the filibuster. Because I have been for a restoration of the filibuster, and John Thune won't do that. Nobody will do that. That's the real filibuster. This fake filibuster is what makes everything have to be passed with 60 votes and you get nothing done and there's no debate on the floor. That's what that filibuster is. I'm for nuking that one. I'd like to have the real filibuster, the Jimmy Stewart goes to Washington filibuster. But if our choice is, you're not gonna get that, then you don't get the other one either. We have got to start passing, have to start passing laws. At least they'll have to retract the laws. At least they'll have to pass another law to recall those laws. It won't be just a stroke of the pen. Nuke the filibuster, nuke it. Because this isn't the real filibuster we were concerned about. The real filibuster, soon and all of the other weasels won't use. All right, I love to paint. There is something about watching an idea only exist in your head slowly take shape on a canvas that just feels right. The colors all come together and the details start to emerge. And it's just all of a sudden, it's just like the person or whatever you're painting just emerges. The thing I love about painting most is the focus that it takes. It requires you to only think about one thing. You can't be thinking about something else. So your body has to cooperate. When pain decides it wants to be part of the process, it doesn't just interrupt you. It takes the entire experience away. I didn't think I would be able to paint or even write anymore, except on a computer. And I like to hand write things. This is where Relief Factor made a huge difference for me. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor, and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more month after month. I'm one of them. Take the daily drug-free supplement developed by doctors to help reduce or eliminate pain. For a lot of people, it's a way to get back the things that you love. If pain has been holding you back, try it, will you? relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, three-week quick start. See if it works for you.

[67:51] He magically ran into Elon Musk and has more keys to the city than P. Diddy. Watch Glenn's Torch exclusive conversation with DJ Daniel at glennbeck.com/torch.

Speaker 1:
[68:17] Welcome to The Glenn Beck Program. There's a couple of things going on. Let me wrap up on the Fed. There is a nomination hearing for Trump's pick as Fed Chairman that's happening right now, Kevin Warsh. I really want to abolish the Fed, but Kevin Warsh may be the best possible guy we could get for it right now. At least he's the latest hope that he won't turn into some sort of a zombie monster once he is in the Fed. He voted for the TARP bailout. He was part of the Fed, but then when he saw what it was turning into, he eventually quit. One of the main reasons was as he said, you're growing out of control, you're trying to take over the economy, you're going to end up just creating all kinds of problems. He thinks that they're blurring monetary and fiscal policy, they're causing the inflation too much, etc. So he wants dramatic cuts and is not for QE quantitative easing. I would imagine, I would like to ask if I were the senator, do you mean no matter what they call it, you're against money printing? Because remember, they called it quantitative easing because they had told me for years, I said, I'm telling you they're going to bail out everything and then they're just going to have to print money. We will never print money. That's outrageous.

Speaker 10:
[69:37] How dare you say we'll print money?

Speaker 1:
[69:38] Well, I ended up printing, what was it? Seven trillion dollars and everybody's like, oh, well, no, but they're not printing money.

Speaker 3:
[69:45] It's called quantitative easing.

Speaker 1:
[69:48] That's like saying that, retarded means someone with special needs. Someone with special needs, after everybody adopts to that, retarded was a clinical term. It was not an offensive term, but then you started seeing what was categorized as retarded, and you're like, oh, I don't want to be mean. Well, it wasn't a mean name until it was, until everybody knew that that's exactly what it meant. So when you say somebody with special needs, it's eventually going to be offensive to people, because it will mean, you know, we're going to call everybody without any legs a happy giraffe. Well, eventually, you know, when they're like, oh, here comes the happy giraffe, you only have to turn around and go, what? Oh, it's a guy who can't walk because he has no legs. How dare you say that? He's a happy giraffe. Stop it. Stop it. So anyway, he's the latest on that. Jason, I want to get a read from the insiders on the other thing I just talked about, which was getting rid of the filibuster.

Speaker 6:
[71:08] So we've asked this question a few times. We asked this to the insiders, and it seems pretty different today as of today. So the vast majority, 70% are saying nuke the filibuster. There are, the next highest is 19% at unsure. And I'm looking through some of the comments. Some of them are saying restore the true filibuster. Some are saying that, but it sounds like the frustration and the fear of what is going to happen when Democrats get power, they feel like it's important to nuke it now and get what we need to get to shore up the country.

Speaker 1:
[71:43] So, Sarah, I'd like you to ring in on this one too. Is this, is this, are we changing or do we have a deeper understanding of it? I don't want to be one of those people that just changes when it's our side. You know what I mean? And I've been against the nuking of the filibuster. But now that I see, I mean, the real filibuster is the Jimmy Stewart filibuster. Seeing now that John Thune, nor anybody on either side, will actually do it that way, where you have to stand up and make the case, I don't want the zombie filibuster because that's not real, that's not constitutional, that's nothing. So yeah, I am for nuking that. I want the original filibuster, but we're not gonna get that. So nuke it, nuke it. Am I becoming everything I hate? Do you know what I mean? Does that make sense to you? Is that what I'm doing?

Speaker 9:
[72:41] I don't think that's what you're doing.

Speaker 4:
[72:42] I think we evolve as we get older.

Speaker 1:
[72:46] But I don't think it's because I'm getting older. I mean, I think it's, I don't know.

Speaker 9:
[72:53] We evolve when we get fatter too.

Speaker 1:
[72:55] Okay. All right. That doesn't, Jason, do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 5:
[72:58] Yeah. I mean, your critics will say, oh, Glenn's being a hypocrite and we'll get a bunch of mentions on X and, whatever. Look at this guy. He used to be a conservative. But here's the thing, the rules changed. They changed the rules. They don't do filibusters the way that we used to do filibusters. They changed the word and what it means, like you were just saying. I love that you said the R word by the way. Jason and I, you couldn't see it. Jason and I were laughing on the camera. Just cause we're old Gen Xers who used to use the word all the time and we're loving that you're not canceled for it. Yeah, I don't care. But if we're gonna talk about what the insiders are saying, can I just hijack this for one second and give you some credit for doing the world's most incredibly awkward, uncomfortable sperm count update monologue? When you all went in, when you went into it, we were like, oh gosh, this is gonna be so uncomfortable. You actually saved a future baby, we think. One of the insiders said, my husband just threw away his THC vape only a week after saying he wasn't quitting. Please thank Glenn. So the only thing that would have made this monologue-

Speaker 10:
[74:03] So he heard the monologue?

Speaker 1:
[74:04] And then he-

Speaker 5:
[74:05] Yes, heard. It is now quitting weed so that he can save his sperm count because that's all men care about really, and make a future baby.

Speaker 1:
[74:15] Wow, that's good. What a great- That's great.

Speaker 5:
[74:18] You better get an invite to that baby shower.

Speaker 1:
[74:20] Yeah, no, so I'll have to bring a gift. So, so can we go back? That's really cool that that credit should go to Michaela because I did not want to do that update, but she's been hounding me and I'm like, she is never going to stop talking about this update unless she gets the- Do you have the jingle? So, you know, try to make it as pleasant as possible, but it is like your dad talking, you know, about, you know, your hot mom. And nobody wants to hear it. Nobody wants to hear it. And so I did it, but it's, I'm glad it worked out that way. That's great. Okay. Can we go back to what we were talking about originally, please? Sorry. Are we, I don't think it's being hypocritical. And I just want to make sure that I check myself before I wreck myself. Jason.

Speaker 6:
[75:23] Well, are you, so let me just get it straight. So are you saying that you want to completely nuke the filibuster or nuke the zombie filibuster so that the standing filibuster, where they actually have to speak?

Speaker 1:
[75:33] I would love the standing filibuster, but they're not going to do that. So the only option left, I mean, if they won't do the standing filibuster, then you have to nuke the filibuster because the filibuster has been made into the zombie filibuster. So I'm for nuking the zombie filibuster and having the standing filibuster. But if our side won't pass the standing filibuster, then we should nuke the filibuster.

Speaker 6:
[76:00] So what happens in two years when they want to make Puerto Rico a state and Washington, DC a state?

Speaker 1:
[76:06] It's bad.

Speaker 6:
[76:08] I think that's my issue with that is it's been the only way, if you don't have any control of government at all, your side, then you open yourselves up for them to do whatever the heck they want to do. We're kind of at that Rubicon moment to where we've not been willing to cross that in the past, especially not when the other side is looking like they're going to cross it.

Speaker 1:
[76:26] But if we don't pass some things right now because they're going to hold us to the filibuster, if we can't pass things, we may not make it. All they have to do is get a new president and just say, all of that stuff he did, that's all off. We should at least have to have them work for it. I know that they're going to misuse it. We know that. They're going to do it. I don't know.

Speaker 6:
[76:54] Then the argument is also, are they just going to nuke it anyway once they get power? Yes, they are. Because they're just as frustrated.

Speaker 1:
[77:00] Yeah, they are. They will. They'll nuke it. Look at it. They'll put people in jail. They'll nuke it. I mean, they are hard core radicals, and I don't want to give them any more tools, but they will make their own tools. They don't care. They're not like us when it comes to the Constitution and conserving tradition. That's why I was against nuking the filibuster, because I want the standing filibuster. That is the traditional filibuster. This other one, it was designed to take the burden off of Congress and just get things through quickly. Everything in our Constitution is to slow things down, and they just didn't want to have any more debates on things. So yep, we can just table that and move on, and we'll just have an agency regulate it. That's a real problem. I don't know. We're getting into this place now, and this is why I say you have to have the spirit with you, and I haven't prayed on this, I probably should have. You gotta have the spirit with you, because everything's gonna get to right and almost right. And I'm not sure what right is on this one yet. I don't like, I don't want to become them, and I also don't want to be, I don't want to be stupid. They've created something that we're now debating that we shouldn't get rid of, that shouldn't have been there in the first place. So, I don't know, maybe that's just me. There was a third thing I wanted to talk about, now I don't remember what, because Ricky got me all into the sperm count update again, I don't even know what to do with that.

Speaker 5:
[78:48] Did you want to talk about the American story? Or how much self-hate Americans have towards their own history?

Speaker 1:
[78:56] No, I do, but now that you said it, now I don't, now I don't. Back in just a minute, let me tell you about Bernal launcher. You know what, most people hope never ever happens. Well, I mean, there's a lot of things. But one of them is, I don't ever want to look like an easy target. And maybe it's walking to your car after dark, maybe it's answering the door to somebody who, you know, won't take the hint, maybe it's a stranger who gets too aggressive, too close, too confident that you don't have a plan. That's why I want you to know about the Berna Launcher. It's a non-lethal self-defense option. It'll stop a threat from a safe distance, firing powerful pepper and kinetic rounds to about 60 feet away. It'll give you time, space, and a chance to get out of that bad situation. Here's what really matters. It's legal in all 50 states. No permit is required. You carry insurance for the things that never ever happen. You keep a fire extinguisher for emergencies you never expect to see. Personal safety shouldn't be any different. The world doesn't always give you a warning. Having a way to respond can make all the difference in the world. Berna, byrna.com/glenn. Learn more about it. Try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse location near you. It's berna.com/glenn.

Speaker 2:
[80:16] You're going to have to hold that thought, my friend. We got a schedule to keep. Beck. We'll be back.

Speaker 1:
[80:45] You know, it's fascinating to me, because we have raised a generation that can recite every single flaw in America, but can't at all talk about why everybody has ran towards America for the last two centuries. Not away, toward everybody. Why? When Europe lay in ashes after World War II, it was the United States. We did not carve up the continent like every empire before it. We didn't ask for tribute. We didn't take the spoils. We didn't annex anything. No country has ever done that. Instead, we launched the Marshall Plan, the largest economic recovery program in all of human history, and we rebuilt our former enemies at enormous cost that we're still paying for today. We did it because we didn't have to. We did it because that's who we are. We chose to. Famine stalked the planet. It wasn't an empire that solved it. It was American innovation, the Green Revolution, the real one. We've saved a billion people from starvation, a billion. No conquering army can ever make that kind of claim. We created the Bretton Woods system, which changed the world, pulled millions of people, hundreds and hundreds of millions out of poverty. Think about these things. We don't, we don't. We can name every flaw. We started a new podcast called The American Story. It's based on David and Tim Barton's book of the same name, The American Story. And I want you to hear a piece of episode two that was released over the weekend. Here it is. In a split second, John Howland is plunged into a nightmare. A massive rogue wave smashes over the ship's railing, sweeping John overboard into the frigid abyss. He's gone, vanished into the deep. And no one even notices it first. In an era when most people can't swim and the ship can't just throw it in reverse, this is a death sentence. John thrashes in the freezing water, his lungs are burning with the ocean as the ship labors on without him. Then he glimpses a rope in the water within reach. Instinctively, desperately, he snags it and clamps on with both fists. The rope trailing behind the ship is one of the hellyards used to raise and lower the sail. It's his only hope. He clings for dear life. Dragging through the pounding surf like a ragdoll. The salt water scraping down his throat and burning his eyes. And finally, incredibly, crew members spot him bobbing in the water. Slowly and steadily, they manage to reel him in. John finally splats on the deck and rolls over on his back. Sputtering, shivering uncontrollably, gasping, head spinning, dumbfounded that he's still alive. The hard-boiled crew mutters curses about these seasick novices that they're hauling across the Atlantic to a forbidding wilderness. These dreamers, they must be insane. It's 1620 and this is the main deck of the Mayflower. It's an amazing story, The American Story, Beginnings. That's episode two. You can get the entire first season of 10 episodes at glenbeck.com/torch, or you can hear them as they come out once a week. This is episode two. You just get them wherever you get your podcast. The American Story, it came out on Saturday, should be in your podcast feed. You don't want to miss it. I'm tired of just hearing about the bad things. There are bad things in this that America did. I mean, really bad things in this American Story Podcast. But we put it into perspective. Stop concentrating on just all of the bad things. This country has done things no other group of human beings has ever done in all of history. And they're good things. Maybe we should concentrate on that. So we could then turn and say, may God save the Republic. We lock our cars, we set our alarms, we install cameras, but there is one thing most people don't even realize can be stolen, and that is the title of your home. Criminals can forge documents, they can file them online, they can make it look like your property is theirs, and from there, they can try to take out loans against it. And you may not know anything about it until the collection agencies and the bank notices start showing up, and then the sheriff. By then, you're the one trying to prove you didn't do something that was wrong.

Speaker 1:
[87:25] Oh yeah, that's me. Hello, Doug. Welcome to The Glenn Beck Program. It is Tuesday, a lot to address. We're gonna get right to it in 60 seconds. First, American financing. Some people live on a budget. Others live under one. Every month, the paycheck comes in, and before you even decide what to do with it, a chunk of it's already gone. Credit cards and high-interest debt, and it's gone, it's gone. Payments seem to regenerate overnight, you know what I mean? You're working hard, but your money has other plans. That's why I'm a big fan of American financing. If you're a homeowner, the equity that you have built up may be able to break that cycle. Their salary mortgage consultants can show you ways to consolidate high-interest debt, lower monthly payments, and put your finances back on a path that actually makes sense. Find out that you don't have to take out a new mortgage in your house. They have a way for you to do it, taking advantage of what you have in the house without taking out a new mortgage and losing that really low rate that you have. No upfront fees. Find out if you're qualified. Just do it right now. 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440. It's americanfinancing.net.

Speaker 1:
[88:42] Well, friends, I want you to gather around, put your hands on the radio and feel. Feel the spirit right now as this democratic bishop stands up and says, we need a third testament because the first two are problematic. I've never heard a bishop say, you know, the New and Old Testament, kind of problematic from a vitriolic god, but that's what she said. Listen to this.

Speaker 11:
[89:07] A very dangerous thing that I'm about to say now, but since I'm a bit dangerous.

Speaker 1:
[89:13] Say it.

Speaker 11:
[89:14] I'm of the opinion that we need a third testament.

Speaker 1:
[89:19] Wow.

Speaker 11:
[89:19] Because the Bible has become problematic. Slaves obey your masters as you do the Lord. It's a text. Let the women keep silent in the churches, and if they have any questions, let them ask their husbands at home. I'm a believer. My whole heart, I trust God with my whole heart. I wake up in the morning talking to God and God talking to me.

Speaker 1:
[89:46] I don't think you're listening.

Speaker 11:
[89:47] But I am completely frustrated with the ways in which the text speaks to the kind of vitriolic God that makes those kinds of things, and people will say, well, it's in the book, and I said, then we need to pour that page out. You can't do it. It's the word of God. I said, no, it's words about God. Come on now. But is it the word of God? No, it is not the word of God.

Speaker 10:
[90:16] Ah, OK.

Speaker 1:
[90:17] OK. I don't remember Leanne learning that in Bible school. Anybody with me on that? Can I get an amen? I don't remember hearing. Now, I went to a church once. My wife and I went on this church tour, and we were looking for a church, and we went to all kinds of different churches. And it was actually really fun. I love doing this. Well, except for this particular one. We went to a church. It was a congregational church in Cheshire, Connecticut. And we walk into it. And, you know, it's fine. All the way through the service is fine. Until the pastor gets up, and he's given the sermon. And halfway through the sermon, he says, Now, you all know that I don't believe in God. But if there be a God, we surely should serve him. And I thought, wait, and I look at my wife and I said, Tony, did he just say? She said, Uh-huh. I said, Shouldn't that be on the front door someplace? Our pastor doesn't believe in God. I mean, I think that's kind of a, you know, it's kind of a big deal. I don't want to take part anybody's religion. You know, your faith is your faith. But God is never changing. Never changing. And the problematic text, I don't know, she's quoting the same verses, you know, your middle school atheist friend would do, you know. Well, slaves obey the bastards, right? Have women keep silent in the church. Okay, all right, I'm not in the first grade anymore. So, or even the fourth grade. You know, you could take some time and actually wrestle with those verses in the context that they were written in instead of, you know, looking at it through a 2026 context. Anytime you find yourself saying, no, I think the Bible is problem, the Bible is problematic. I don't think I can count you as a believer. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just old school that way, you know. I don't know if she also knows that it was the Bible that inspired liberation of slaves. You know, women, the entire story, the entire story is anyone can free themselves from man by submitting themselves to God. But this bishop is now proposing the opposite. She wants to free us from God and submit to her ideas of right and wrong, because I don't know, they're just so, imagine somebody, this is pretty much what she said.

Speaker 10:
[92:48] I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[92:51] Thou shalt not commit adultery. I mean, is that really today? Does that fit in today? It's kind of problematic. Look how many people are, I mean, we could just start tearing pages out of the Bible. We won't end up with any in there, but we could just start tearing pages out of the Bible. That doesn't make the Bible more true. It makes your Bible riddled with flaws. But again, maybe it's just me. Here's the thing, she fundamentally misunderstands humans' relationship with God, because as a human, we need to ask, is this the God of the universe? Instead, she asks the question, do I like him, though? I mean, not, are you the God of the universe? It said, do I like you? Are you kind of outdated? Because you don't sound very open-minded, because it sounds like she doesn't like him. She's decided to remake him in her image, with her values. So she becomes God and God bends to her will, instead of real trust in God. And God's purpose of trying to bend us to his will. I mean, I think one of you is going to win and I don't think it's you. You know, I tried this game for the first 35 years of my life. Oh, I thought I could get God to bend to my, he's a little outdated, a little outdated. I don't know if I like all of those things, you know? I don't think he understood, you know, what I was going to go, what I was going to be going through. You know what I mean? It's not to the year two anymore. You know, things have changed. Yeah, that doesn't work out well for you. It doesn't. You know, anyone saying they're going to free you from God, what are they actually saying? I'm going to free you from God. Submit to me because you will have a God, you will worship a God, you know? And so many Americans still attend the Church of Woke with its praise and worship and value system that, you know, they have their own style of holy war that justifies violence against enemies. You want to talk about vitriol. I've seen a lot of vitriol in the streets, seen it in, I've seen it in the churches. I've seen people come in in Minnesota and go into the churches and talk about their God, as opposed to the people who are in the church worshiping God. It seemed like a lot of vitriol there. That's how we have a grown man throwing down a five-foot, you know, TPUSA reporter. It was a religious act. Do you understand? This is what's happening. People are making their own God and following their own God, and it is a religious experience. Think of that. They excommunicate. If you don't agree with everything they say, they excommunicate you. You can't question it. It's the dark ages kind of God. You don't question that. You just don't know. We know better than you. What are you questioning for? Are you a problem? Is that you, Satan, that's making you say that? The only thing they don't say is Satan. Is that Donald Trump that makes you say that? You can't be, we can't be around you. Uh-uh, you can't know. The biblical prophets never came around going, hey, that old God, the stuff the other prophets were talking about, boy, oh boy, they got it wrong. They did it wrong. They never say, disregard what came before. The Ten Commandments, ah, take four of them and you can pick four. The Bible tells us how to deal with people like this. If they say something is going to happen and it doesn't, drop them immediately. I think this applies to preachers and politicians, personalities on the radio like me. Also, if it does come true, you still ditch them if they tell you to go follow your own God over God. If I went on the air and I said, hey, by the way, Bible is problematic. You should pick and choose. No. One thing God is, is consistent. Teachers from God are consistent with it. They're not at war with God because they think he's problematic. The Bible and human history are clear. We're the problems, not the Bible. We're the problems. When do we become a problem? When we try to remake God to be like us, to match our politics or our ideas on how we want to live our life. Then once we become God, we always become petty tyrants. That's what always happens. The American system is built on the principle that Americans submit only to one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And that's what protects us from people who think they are God, making us their subjects. That's the problem with progressivism. They think they're God. They think they know more than everybody else. And it's true whether you believe in God or not. Don't listen to people trying to destroy a foundation like that, because it's always a ploy for more power, always. And I believe God has messages for us, and messages yet to come. But they are not going to come from messengers calling him problematic. They're not going to come and go, you know what? Life is getting hard for you because you don't agree with so much in the Bible. That's kind of the point, I think. The point is like, there's a lot of truth here, and you're not going to like any of it. I think that's why people avoid it. That's why people avoid going to church for two reasons. One, they're not saying anything. They're more like that person. Let me just tell you what you really want to believe. Or the other reason to avoid is because they hear it, and they hear truth, and they don't want to live that way. Sorry. Just is. It is what it is, and it's not problematic. I think we're the problem. All right, more in just a second, because I got to show you how they've turned this into a religion, how they've turned politics into a religion. Next.

Speaker 5:
[99:49] Paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.

Speaker 1:
[99:53] Yeah, let me tell you about Super Sure. There are certain purchases that you enjoy when you get to buy them. Great meal, new truck, vacation you've been looking forward to.

Speaker 3:
[100:02] Insurance is not one.

Speaker 1:
[100:04] I've never been like, man, today is the day I got to see the new insurance policy. You're paying for peace of mind and protection and the comfort of knowing that if your life takes a hard turn, you're not going to be facing it alone. But you're paying for coverage. You don't ever come back and go, I got this great policy. It covers, you don't know what it covers. At least I don't. I mean, I'll know what they tell me it covers. But then when you actually try to go collect, they're like, yeah, no, that doesn't really cover that. Wait a minute, I thought Super Sure takes it all in. They take out all the guesswork of your insurance, clear options, smart coverage solutions, pricing that makes real sense for real life. Right now, you can go to supersure.com/beck and get a full report on all of your current policies, no obligation. Find out if you're overinsured or underinsured or somewhere in between. Go to supersure.com/beck. One super agency, one powerful platform, and all of your policies in one place. It's supersure.com/beck. That's supersure.com/beck. Ten Seconds Station ID. Okay, so I want to show you how the left has made everything into a religion. You know, I told you, they have excommunication. You know it, they kick you out of the club. They kick you out of church. But they also have traditions and faiths that you cannot question. You know, it's the other side that's making you question this. But they also have like choirs and choruses. Have you ever noticed that the left is always digging out a new folk song? I mean, here's, this is the New York City Gay Men's Chorus. They're actually pretty good. Listen to this. I mean, they're good, right? But really, you're getting together to sing political songs about we're all gonna get out and vote? That's your god. That's your god. You've made politics your god. Here's the, I love this one. You remember the tree activists that were in a city council meeting in Seattle and said, we've got a song, we've got a song to sing for you. Listen to this one.

Speaker 12:
[102:40] Unwelcome sight in the neighborhood, a developer is being greedy. There's a hole in the sky where a tree once stood.

Speaker 1:
[102:50] Yeah. And?

Speaker 12:
[102:59] A magnificent tree was murdered.

Speaker 1:
[103:11] Stop!

Speaker 3:
[103:11] Stand up, everybody!

Speaker 1:
[103:12] You should get in Millington now.

Speaker 3:
[103:13] Stand up and sing this song with me.

Speaker 1:
[103:17] You know, you thought AI music was bad. No, no, people can do worse. Okay, again, stand up and sing it with me. Here's another one. Here is a new choir on what democracy looks like. I think this one is in Missouri. Listen to this one. Stop. I think this is done in either a church or a school. It looks like a church, you know. But that's like the, that's the choir singing. Again, they've made it into a religion. That's what they're doing. Everything is a religion. If you lose God, if you destroy one God, you will replace. People need God. What do you worship? You could worship your car. You could worship your job. You could worship your followers on Twitter. What is it you worship? Your looks? You're worshiping something. And I know that book is really, really outdated, but it says it should really worship God. I mean, God, God, the God, you know, at least the one in the book, but that's a little outdated. It's so, I don't know, 200 BC. Maybe that's just me. We got a reply from Elon Musk. Elon Musk last weekend replied to Liv. Remember on, what was it, Thursday or Friday? We had Liv, this 15 year old girl who had cancer and died. She was supposed to talk to Elon and then she died before he got back on the phone with her. And they wanted some answers. And so we published the questions on X and said, hey, Elon, we answered these are dying questions of this young 15 year old girl, blah, blah, blah. And he wrote, we'll answer shortly. That was over the weekend. I'm trying to see. Ricky, do you have the actual answers? Is he just?

Speaker 5:
[105:40] Give me a second.

Speaker 1:
[105:41] I got it. I got him.

Speaker 5:
[105:43] Okay, great.

Speaker 1:
[105:43] Yeah, I got it. So we posted the photos and everything else. And her questions asked if he planned on making his new phone or to expand the Tesla diner, et cetera, et cetera. And on Thursday, you're going to have to match up the questions, Ricky, because in typical Elon Musk fashion, this is what he texted, which I can't believe he actually would take the time to do it in the first place. But he answered, no, yes, yes, your name, yes, several times, Kyoto Teams Lab, yes, yes, okay. I didn't see the question. I got to go look up the questions, but he did answer. You have the questions by any chance?

Speaker 5:
[106:34] Yes, standing by, vamping, vamping, we're vamping here. Okay, here's the first question. Are you going to make your own phone?

Speaker 1:
[106:44] No.

Speaker 5:
[106:47] Are you expanding the Tesla Diner?

Speaker 1:
[106:49] Hang on, have you heard him talk about the phone? He won't make a phone because he thinks by 2028, 29, phones won't exist anymore. He's like, you're going to have-

Speaker 5:
[107:00] Yeah, you can just dial people up on your Neuralink.

Speaker 1:
[107:02] No, he said he will have some sort of an agent. Phones won't exist. Your podcast, your music, everything is going to be personalized right directly to you. And he didn't explain what it would be, but it's not going to be a phone, he says. OK, Tesla Diner, what was the question?

Speaker 5:
[107:21] Are you expanding the Tesla Diner?

Speaker 1:
[107:22] Yes.

Speaker 5:
[107:24] Will there be any new games with any upcoming Tesla updates?

Speaker 1:
[107:27] Yes.

Speaker 5:
[107:29] OK, I'm going to skip all the way to the bottom because we're running out of time. This is the news making one. Can you make Astroid the Shiba Inu 0G indicator she designed for the Polaris Dawn mission, the mascot for SpaceX? How did he answer that one?

Speaker 1:
[107:40] That was the last one?

Speaker 5:
[107:42] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[107:44] Yes, he would.

Speaker 5:
[107:46] With a smiley face.

Speaker 1:
[107:47] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[107:48] So cool.

Speaker 1:
[107:49] Yeah. Anyway, thanks, Elon, for answering those questions. I know her family was thrilled to see them and see your response. All right. Back with more in a minute. Sponsor is Leaf Filter. Your house is constantly under attack, not from anything super big or dramatic, just water. Time, neglect, all of that. Those three things have brought down plenty of homes over time, and it starts with the roofline. When the gutters clog, the leaves and the pine needles and everything else, the debris, the birds' nests, rainwater can't flow to where it's supposed to be, so it overflows. That then starts pouring down under the roofline against the siding, it soaks the landscaping, it damages the foundation, it rots wood, it creates the kind of really expensive problem that always shows up at the worst possible time. Okay, then there's the other option, climbing a ladder to clean all that out by yourself. Terrible plan, okay, for about 1200 different reasons. That's why I want you to look into leaf filter. It is a gutter protection system designed to keep leaves and debris out while allowing water to flow freely. That means no more constant clogs, less maintenance, better protection for your home.

Speaker 1:
[109:48] Well, it's a big day in Virginia. Virginians are going out to vote. I mean, is your Constitution, has it become inconvenient, really? Is it, does it sound outdated, like that pastor just said about the Bible? Apparently it has, because you can't do this, but the Democrats are going ahead, and they have put on the ballot today, a special election. Are you gonna vote to redistrict? And I'm guessing that they're going to redistrict, and then, you know, it'll be over for Virginia. It will be a forever blue state. And they're redistricting all over the country. I mean, California, you really, you have to redistrict in California? Yeah, because they want more representation. They want more votes. They just need more votes in Congress. This isn't about the state. This isn't about representation. It's about the GOP having their way in Congress. So, we'll watch that and give you the news on tomorrow on what happens. I mean, I would imagine it's going to pass. I hope it doesn't. I hope it doesn't, but we'll see. It still has to go through court anyway because their Constitution is saying, no, you can't do that. But, you know, how much faith do you have in the court of law at this point? I don't have an awful lot. Jason, you were just talking about the pastor. When was it? This weekend in Iowa?

Speaker 6:
[111:12] I'm not exactly sure when it was, but the video just resurfaced not so long ago. I saw the story yesterday about this. It's an Iowa Democrat Congressional candidate. Her name is Sarah Trone Garriott. She's a Lutheran minister apparently, and she was gushing about how she officiated a couple of Satanists' wedding. I couldn't find the video yesterday, but now we've found it. Do you want to see it?

Speaker 1:
[111:37] Yeah, I didn't know that Swalwell and Feng Feng had married.

Speaker 6:
[111:41] Here it is, Sarah Trone Garriott.

Speaker 13:
[111:43] They had a lot of baggage between the two of them.

Speaker 1:
[111:46] Wait, stop, stop, stop. Hold on just a second. Are we talking about the Satanists? They had a lot of baggage between the two of them?

Speaker 6:
[111:54] Who would have thought that, right?

Speaker 1:
[111:55] Doesn't he have a pentagram on his face? I mean, it might be the first tip-off. We're going to have some baggage here. Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 13:
[112:03] Still, there was no denying how they were looking at each other right now.

Speaker 1:
[112:08] Okay, stop, stop. No denying on how they were looking at each other. I think when we're talking about Satanists, I think you need to go a little deeper. I don't know if you know this, love's not a part of Satanism. Now, Satanists will tell you, that's not true. That's not true. But I don't think I'm going to listen to people whose God is the author of all lies. So, you know, not going to do that. But anyway, here's the pastor saying, you can't deny that they were just looking at each other with love.

Speaker 13:
[112:46] Okay, go ahead. It does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth.

Speaker 1:
[112:59] And what truth is? Wait.

Speaker 13:
[113:01] And I thought about how the people at the courthouse had lied to them. And how they would have been treated if they had walked into any other church in town. I could see that none of the things.

Speaker 1:
[113:17] Wait, I mean, I, you know, I wouldn't hate them if they walked in. But I don't think I'd be like, you know what, you two, I'm going to hit you two. Let's put you two together. I think I would have, I'd be like, you know, before you make any decisions, we should talk about this Satan thing. Because you're on the, you're both on the wrong path. And I don't think I can hit your two souls together. And why would you go, if you're a Satanist, why would you go to a church? I mean, unless you have a church that will marry you, and I mean, you're only hurting the church, honestly. Do you know, Jason, why would you go to a church?

Speaker 6:
[113:53] Unless they thought that they had to get married in the church and they couldn't do it at the courthouse is the only thing I can think of.

Speaker 1:
[114:00] Oh, she did say the courthouse was lying.

Speaker 6:
[114:02] Lying to them.

Speaker 1:
[114:03] Can you not be, I mean, that's saying something. If you're a church and you'll put two Satanists together, but your state law is like, no, we can't, no, no Satanists are getting hitched. I mean, that's saying something about how far off the path you have fallen as a church. So she is still going for it in the church.

Speaker 6:
[114:25] Sounds like it. Can we discuss what she's doing with her hands, Glenn? Is that like symbolic or was there no teleprompter? And she wrote the speech down on her hands.

Speaker 1:
[114:35] She was kind of standing there like her hands were open, like a book, like she were holding a book.

Speaker 6:
[114:40] Or a prayer almost.

Speaker 1:
[114:41] Maybe, I don't know.

Speaker 6:
[114:42] It's creepy. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[114:45] What, the pastor that was all about Satanists was creepy? Hard time getting my arms around that one.

Speaker 6:
[114:51] That's news.

Speaker 1:
[114:53] Jason, can I ask you a question? The EU and jet fuel, when they're saying that we're not going to have enough fuel to fly jets around, what do you think of that?

Speaker 6:
[115:09] Well, I wonder if it was a complete and total shock that there might be a catastrophe, whether that be environmental, whether that be geopolitical, that never once entered their mind and they might have thought, maybe we should shore up some reliable energy, just in case in the middle of our green push that that might happen. I know that's a wild thing to happen, you know, the weather and things like that could happen, but you gotta be kidding me that there wasn't some kind of emergency, hey, let's keep these oil rigs working and pumping just in case.

Speaker 1:
[115:46] Or, you know, or I don't even know, have more emergency oil. I mean, think about if we were only running on our oil reserves, I think it's 10 or 12 days we can run on that. But Europe should not be running on just their strategic oil reserves. We're not. Who else is? What? They really they have they've stored nothing. They have nothing they can't buy. I mean, how are we buying it? They're saying now that they don't even think they'll have jet fuel. If you're planning on going over to Europe, you may not get back like in June. You may not get back because they just may not have the fuel. How is that possible?

Speaker 6:
[116:26] It doesn't really seem possible.

Speaker 1:
[116:28] No, it doesn't.

Speaker 6:
[116:28] It's got to be more leverage. I can see prices going up because the price goes up, but just another pressure campaign.

Speaker 1:
[116:37] I think that's what it is. I think it's the Central Bank and the WEF and everybody else. Because what do they need to do? The way to fight inflation when you have little, not enough of it is to get more or you use less. But that's been their whole point on everything. From the World Economic Forum, they don't want you driving. They don't want you flying. They're doing everything they can to stop you from doing those things. I mean, this sounds like more climate goals than anything else, because you can fix everything. When you hear people are going to have to fly less, you're going to have to drive less because energy is scarce. To me, that translates. It could be about inflation control, but it also could be for their climate targets as well. I don't trust these people. I mean, you don't think you trust America. Can you imagine being over in Europe and trusting these fools?

Speaker 6:
[117:36] Yeah. You watch, Glenn. This will be used as Exhibit A for why they need to go more hardcore into the trenches of green policies, seizing more control over, you know, it extends as we saw in the WF stuff with farming, fertilizer, everything. They will go even deeper into those trenches, and they'll say, look what happened to the Iran War. It will not be a lesson of them of this is why we need to be prepared. This is why it's not quite there yet with green energy solutions. That won't be the case. It'll be rapid. Well, as per some of the audio we played back then when we were exposing a lot of this stuff, what was it? John Kerry that said, this will be, the speed will be much greater than anyone ever imagined.

Speaker 1:
[118:22] Yeah, breathtaking speed, breathtaking speed. And they're still on that path. Look at Canada. Let me go to Trish in Virginia. Hello, Trish, have you voted today?

Speaker 4:
[118:32] Yes, I am doing good. I just wanted to tell people, please make sure you get the information before you go and vote. I went and voted no, but there was this woman and she was very confused about the wording and she sat there and scratched yes. But then when we asked for help, they said they were not able to help because it might sway people. So I just told her, I said, maybe Google it. But all I can say is, is the wording makes it sound like it's fair. Let's make it fair. So if you see it, go yes. It's all in the wording because I feel like probably the liberals did the wording to make it sound like it was fair for everybody.

Speaker 1:
[119:10] Of course they did. Of course they did. That's why they always did it. So it's saying to make it more fair, should we redistrict, basically?

Speaker 4:
[119:18] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[119:18] Yeah, everybody's going to vote for that unless they know what's going on.

Speaker 4:
[119:23] Yes. Unless you're an informed person, you're going to vote yes because you want to make sure everything's fair.

Speaker 1:
[119:31] Isn't that an interesting choice of words if you're an informed person, if you're not informed? I've been saying this for the last couple of weeks. Jefferson said, an informed public can be responsible for their own government. He didn't say educated. He just said informed and listen to what she just said. Fascinating, Trish. How is this looking in polls? I'm not sure about that, but I just want to also remind people, never clump everybody in the same group that we screwed Virginia up. My 19-year-old son just went and voted no. At our district, we are Christian, we listen to Glenn Beck, we sit there and we vote Republican, we are informed. We don't just vote stupid. We, like you said, we are informed.

Speaker 13:
[120:18] What made the difference in the last big win for conservatives? Were the churches? Did the churches turn out this time? Were the churches organized?

Speaker 1:
[120:28] See, that's the bad thing. I'll sit there and say in Virginia, I would say it went to Abigail Spears because the information is not out there about what Republicans do. It's like unless you know who to go to and who to listen to and do your own research, it's just like you were just voting. I feel like on either side. Wow.

Speaker 13:
[120:50] Well, we'll watch it tomorrow. I hope this works out for you.

Speaker 1:
[120:54] Mason, when you hear churches should not get involved, that's the stupidest thing. Honestly, that's how Satan works, is keep the churches out of it. That way it keeps Christian people keeping Christian values.

Speaker 13:
[121:08] Yeah, I appreciate that. I don't want my church telling me who to vote for, but I do want my church to be very clear on specifics on, this is what the Bible says about this, this, and this. You apply those principles on how you're voting. You vote whatever you want for whoever you want, but these are the principles you should be voting for. Anything that's kicking these principles down, you need to stand against it. That's all I want. I don't want my church to be up on the pulpit and tell me which person to vote for. I don't want that. I do want them to explain how principles that are in the Bible apply to everyday life today, and they apply to government. What are those principles we should be looking towards and say, oh, I got to find somebody like that, that does these things, and that's why something like this is probably not biblical. That's what needs to happen in our churches. All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you, my Patriot Supply, there's a special kind of person who always looks smart about three days after everybody has laughed at them. You know, they bought extra batteries before the storm. They kept the water, you know, on hand before the advisory went out. They filled up the tank before the lines formed, picked up emergency food before the shelves looked like locusts have come through. Well, everybody else is saying, you're overthinking it. You're crazy. That's funny. I know where I'm going. Yeah, well, I got a shotgun. Anyway, they were quietly preparing. That's what it looks like. Slightly unimpressive right until it isn't. That's what I want you to know. I want you to know about my Patriot Supply because they can take that seemingly unimportant step for you. Problem is long-term emergency food, water filtration, backup power, any kind of options, practical gear for the moments when normal life suddenly stops being normal. You can either be the person asking, why didn't I think of this? Why didn't I do something? Or you can be the other one that you're answering when everybody else is asking for help.

[123:38] We just call each other neighbor and friend. We'll be right back. No one goes to Hanks for his spreadsheets. They go for a darn good pizza. Lately, though, the shop's been quiet, so Hanks decides to bring back the $1 slice. He asks Copilot in Microsoft Excel to look at his sales and costs to help him see if he can afford it. Copilot shows Hanks where the money's going and which little extras make the dollar slice work. Now Hanks has a line out the door. Hanks makes the pizza, Copilot handles the spreadsheets.

Speaker 13:
[124:33] So, last week, I had Savannah Hernandez on with me. And we talked about the fact that she had just been bullied by this whole family and smacked in the back and shoved to the ground, and she received a concussion for it in Minneapolis, some, you know, fat head that says, I'm absolutely peaceful and then does that. And we heard her story. Let me show you what the guy accused of assaulting her, and it's all on tape. I hate to even say accused, but here's what he said on OAN. Listen to this.

Speaker 2:
[125:17] Maybe you guys do get doxxed, but I don't know if you guys are getting the same type of stuff that we're getting. And it's nonstop. It's hundreds of phone calls a day. It's text messages and them trying to get into all of our social media accounts and contacting our friends, our neighbors, our family. The rest of our family is getting doxxed as well. It's not just us. It's my sons, their wives, like people had nothing to do with anything. It's a little overwhelming and makes me second guess even living in this country, to be honest with you, with those going on. I've never had this happen in my life.

Speaker 3:
[125:59] What?

Speaker 13:
[126:00] Wow. That's amazing. Did you hear that? Can we tomorrow, Jason, Ricky, can we maybe do some sort of a crowd fund, get his family to move out of the country? I would be, if you're thinking about it, I mean, we'll help you move out of the country. That is great. Please don't play. I don't know if you're getting it as bad as I have. Really, really? Yeah, Chris, I can't, we can't relate to being doxxed. We can't relate to being harassed on the streets. We can't relate to this happening to our family. Not at all. Give it a rest, dude. And you know, he comes off, if you're just watching him on that interview, he comes off like he's a reasonable guy. And then you watch him in the video and you watch his family and they're not like that. They're not like that. It's really disgusting. One other thing, do we have time for the expose on Chris Murphy that you played earlier, Jason?

Speaker 10:
[126:58] No, I don't think so. Just save it.

Speaker 13:
[127:00] Give it quickly. Give an update of it.

Speaker 10:
[127:03] So Chris Murphy back in 2022, he tweeted about awesome that there were tankers, Iranian tankers getting through. In 2022, he was saying that we should not have the IRGC as designated terrorists, was trying to make that case. I'm curious where his loyalties actually lie on this. I don't know. It's kind of weird.

Speaker 13:
[127:21] You mean a Democrat? I can't imagine questioning that. See you tomorrow.
