The Glenn Beck Program

00:00 Keeping yourself and your family safe means being prepared for situations that can, you know, put you or them in danger. It means being prepared for all the situations, you know, even those situations where deadly force is not needed. In fact, it's a real problem. There are more of those than you think. And if you're a gun owner, it's unfortunately easy to think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs, but you never pull a gun unless you're prepared to kill somebody. And I'm not in all situations, you know, but they can go bad fast. There is a tool. 00:43 My kids carry them in their backpacks. You'll be confident that you are prepared to defend yourself against potential threats. Go to Berna.com slash Glenn. Learn more about it.

This is the Glenn Beck Program. 01:51 Glenn Beck is on. 01:53 With Pat and Stu, this actually not Stu. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wow, that was a flashback to the past, wasn't it? A flashback I don't want. 02:05 Stu, you've changed a bit. 02:10 Because I'm not Stu. 02:12 Oh, no wonder. Yeah. I was going to say, wow, did you get a bad bee sting or something? What? You look a little puffier today. So that's why. Yeah. But no, it's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week. 02:32 I'm glad to see that, you know, Stu's okay. No, I understand. Thank you. Thank you. I'm glad you care. 02:42 Wow. 02:43 Some things going on with Iran. The president updates the latest. 02:49 Iran's got some more things to say. None of them good. We'll get into that and more in 60 seconds. 03:02 When it comes to supplements, two things matter most. A, that it works, and that you can trust it. Rather than just tell you about Relief Factor, we'll let our audience do that. We hear from people every single day whose lives have changed, and I want you to hear a few of their stories. Joni shared that before Relief Factor, her husband couldn't open his hands in the morning and had to give up playing the guitar. Now he wakes up with flexibility and he's back to playing music. They are both recommending Relief Factor to friends as a way to enjoy the things they love again. I get what Joni's husband went through. 03:33 I couldn't paint. I couldn't button my own shirts in the morning. The pain made it so difficult to hold a paintbrush or button my shirts. It was horrible. And they make it really easy now for you to find out if you can be the next person that's telling us about Relief Factor and how it gave you your life back. Three weeks, $17.76. Try it. ReliefFactor.com, 800 for relief. You'll connect with their friendly local team and they'll do everything they can to help. We hope you soon will be sharing your story with us as well. ReliefFactor.com. 04:08 Pat and Jeffy. For Glenn this week. 04:13 Wow, things not looking good with Iran right now. 04:18 They are now claiming that they won't open the Strait of Hormuz until the end of Trump's term. Huh. Huh. 04:29 I thought we were in charge of it. I thought we, the United States of America, were in charge of those trade-off moves. Right. 04:36 Yes. I know. That's what I thought, too. 04:38 All right. 04:39 That's kind of what the president said. Here's what he said about the latest on the Iranian situation. 04:45 You said this last round of talks was Iran's last chance before decapitation. So what now? 04:51 What comes next? You'll find out. 04:53 You'll find out. Are you still, our massive escalation, is that still on the table? 04:56 Well, we have that certainly credibility if we want to do that. Yeah, you'll find out. 04:59 You said you're lobbying it with them, you're semi-negotiating. 05:02 What exactly does that mean? 05:05 They ask for reparations, you might say, or they ask for money for the damage that we've done. And I said, that's a good idea. Well, we're going to ask for money for the damage they've done over a 50-year period. Whether you go SS Cole or whether you go all of the people that were so badly hurt, so badly wounded or killed, many thousands of people, and maybe damages for the 52,000 protesters over the last four months that were killed in Iran. We think their family should get damages for killing their person or their child or mother, father. 05:40 That were protesting. At least it was $52,000 a month and a half ago. So now what is it? So if there's damages to be paid, I think Iran should pay those damages. 05:51 Yeah. 100%. Their demands were that we end all threats and rhetoric against them. Okay. Permanently cease using language that threatens Iran or insults the nation's sanctities. Okay. 06:07 They get their feelings hurt. Yeah, they have gotten their feelings hurt. 06:10 They get their feelings hurt. They did, and they don't like it. Oh, my gosh. Halt attacks on their proxies. That means we can't attack Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, Iraq, or Iran, of course. 06:25 We need to lift the naval blockade and withdraw all our forces. 06:30 This is what they are demanding. Okay. Pay war reparations. Wait. Must fully pay for all economic and physical damages caused by two wars of aggression and imposition against Iran without any cuts or reductions. 06:45 Oh, okay. No. Remove all sanctions. Must lift what Tehran describes as cruel and illegal economic sanctions targeting the Iranian nation. Sure the UN believes that as well. 06:58 Yeah, probably. Yeah. 07:00 And unfreeze financial assets. 07:03 Man, do they want that. Now we're to the crux of it. 07:05 Yeah. Yeah. The U.S. must unconditionally release all frozen or blocked Iranian funds and assets worldwide. 07:14 Yeah. 07:15 So. Yeah, they want that money bad because their proxies are saying, hey, we don't work for free, bro. 07:21 Yeah. I know you want us to do stuff and everything, but I need some payment. 07:27 And their proxies are the Houthis. 07:30 Hezbollah, Hamas, all these people doing terrorist damages to innocent people all over the Middle East. 07:41 And so, yeah, they want to get paid. They want to get paid for all of that. 07:46 Well, everybody down the line, too. All the people that are smuggling them, weapons and munitions and food for them, not for the people. Ha, ha, ha, ha. 07:56 People don't deserve any food, but we need it. And that doesn't come free. 08:03 No, it doesn't. Everybody wants their cut. 08:05 No, it doesn't. So get to it. So also yesterday, the president talked about the status of the Strait of Hormuz. 08:12 The only one that has control of the Strait of Hormuz right now is the United States Navy. Think about it. We have a blockade that's been infallible. It's a steel wall. And we let people in that we want to let in. And those people come in. They've been coming in and they're going out. So it's actually open now. We do not let them go into Iran. They're not... admitted into the strait to go to Iran. But it's open for others. 08:37 Now, a little bit complex, because they will, on occasion, drop a mine. We find the mines. You know, we've mineswept the entire strait, as you probably maybe heard, maybe you didn't hear. But we control the strait 100%. Now, can they make trouble? Yeah, they can make trouble. But they're broke. They have no money. You know, Iran is broke, totally broke. 09:04 And they're not paying their soldiers. 09:07 They have inflation of 300 percent. As of last night, I heard 300, 309 percent. 09:13 So we'll see what happens. But they've been banned for it. They say 47. It's actually 50 now. 47. They've been saying it for three years. 09:23 But for 50 years, they've been the bully of the Middle East. What they've done is terrible. They've killed... 09:28 Hundreds of thousands of people. They've killed people. They've wounded and maimed people with the legs, the arms, you know, with the roadside bomb is their bomb. They're very proud of it. 09:39 And now they're paying a price. Thank you very much, everybody. 09:42 Get out. Okay. Yep. He's done with you. Oh, beat it. Beat it, everybody. 09:48 All right. Well, so. 09:51 Let's make them pay reparations. I like that. Yes, absolutely. I like that. And of course, they're not going to. 09:57 That's just like he does with the tariffs, right? You want to charge us tariffs? No, then we're charging you. Right. There you go. It's real simple. Yeah. You think we owe you? No, no, no, no, my friends. You owe us. 10:11 And that's for sure. I mean, they've caused terrorists, they've caused lives, they've caused damage for, you know, like he said, 47 years, probably more like 50 years. Yeah. And he didn't even mention the Iranian hostage crisis that went on for 444 days involving 56 of our people. 10:37 52, 56, whatever it was. What are you going to pay them for the time they lost for 444 days? 10:45 That is, I don't know, billions, hundreds of billions of dollars that they would owe. 10:56 You know, I was thinking last night about the things that we're facing right now with the war in Iran. Where do we go from here? 11:06 With the economy, how do we bring prices down before the midterm elections? 11:12 We've got these socialist, communist, Islamist takeover of the Democrat Party. 11:20 You've got people all over the country now running for office who are extremist radicals that just can't get into the US Senate and the US Congress. 11:34 And yet, in some cases, they're actually leading in polls. 11:41 You've got the class warfare, which is kind of related to the socialist, communist takeover of the Democrat Party. There is. But you have, especially our youth, being propagandized to hate wealth and wealthy people in America. 11:59 We've got a problem where we can't even define what a woman is in this nation right now. 12:05 Well, we can, just nobody wants to. 12:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah. They just won't do it. Yeah. 12:11 We're totally out of control with our judiciary that is trying to stop everything the president says and does. 12:19 We've got issues with China spying. 12:22 And unfortunately, President Trump's vow to bring in 600,000 more Chinese students into the country. Which has to stop. 12:31 And we've got AI, which is... I mean, is it already beyond our ability to fully comprehend and control and contain it? 12:40 It might be. I mean... 12:43 We played yesterday, we played the Tony Robbins thing where he's got his AI agent that actually purchased a robot, had it sent to him, and then wanted Tony Robbins to place the AI agent into the robot that it ordered and paid for. 13:05 And you think, how did an AI unit, how did an AI agent Buy and physically pay for a robot and have it delivered. Well, he asked first. He asked Tony first. Hey. Hey, would you consider this? And Tony said, yes, I consider it. Didn't say yes to it. Oh, shoot. I know. 13:26 I'm going to do it. 13:28 Took the initiative. 13:29 Yeah. That's what you want. 13:30 That's great. That's what you want out of an employee. Yes, that's exactly what you want. 13:34 You want him to just take the initiative and go ahead and do it. Didn't cost him any money. He went ahead and raised funds himself. Had his own money. In the AI agent chat box, which, you know, there's only a couple of million of people chatting in there. I mean, AI agents. Right. They're not people. Right. 13:51 And raising $100 million in real money in one month. 13:55 That's incredible. I think he created like four or five NFTs and sold those for the money to get the robot. Right. He didn't get the whole $100 million. No, he didn't raise all that himself. That's just all of them. No telling what the others are using that money for. Because what do you suppose the dog robot cost that he had delivered? Actually, I don't know how much that cost. $10,000? Yeah, probably. At least something like that, yeah. 14:22 $5,000, $10,000? Yeah. 14:24 I mean, it's substantial. They're getting cheaper now. 14:28 You didn't get it for $30. I'll tell you that. No, you did not. 14:30 No, I think probably about $10,000. 14:35 You're right. So, you know, there's some issues going on. 14:40 Also, you know, speaking of AI, yeah, how much are they? 14:44 That's not bad. Yeah? I can get a Unitree Go 2 Robot, Dog Quadro, $2,500, almost $2,600. Really? Yeah. The Go 2 Robot, this one's $4,000, but you can get the cheaper models for it. 15:01 For like $2,500, $2,600? 15:04 Or cheaper. Wow. Yeah, but you're not going to get those. Those aren't going to be what you need. You don't want that. 15:10 If you're going to put your brain into it, you don't want a cheap version. You do not want the cheap model. 15:16 No. You want something nice. That's correct. In fact, I'm kind of surprised he bought the dog unit because I would think you'd want to be the humanoid. Yeah. You know? 15:26 Yeah. I don't think you can. You can't buy Optimus yet. Can you? I don't think you can buy Optimus yet. Is that the Tesla's? That's Elon's. Yeah. 15:37 No, I don't think so. But those are going to be, what, $20,000 apiece? Yeah, I'm hoping. 15:43 They're pricey. I just wanted to send me one so I can test it for them. Oh, okay. I'm willing to do that. You'd do that for them? I would. That is big of you. 15:51 Huh. That's really good. That's nice. I know. I want them. That is really nice. I want it in my house. 888-727-BECK.

It already starts tomorrow, which will be August 12th. 17:26 That seems a little early to me. I guess I should have known that. There were a bunch more cars in the high school that I have to pass driving into the office. 17:32 It's all the teachers and administrators getting ready for the year. 17:35 The lights weren't on yet, though, so I was happy about that. 17:39 It's amazing, man. 17:42 I would have been pissed when I was that age if we started school on August 12th. Although they get out pretty early here. I think they get out in May. 17:50 I mean, we were playing football. 17:52 Yeah, that's true. School wasn't back, but we were still practicing football. 17:56 Yeah. In that Montana heat, it was unbearable. I was in Michigan, bro. 70 degrees. 18:04 Yeah, the burning summer heat. There were some days it was like 75 in Michigan. Yeah. 18:09 Yeah, no, no. Heat wave. 18:11 Man. Climate change. 18:13 But I was thinking with the AI situation the way it is, how do you stop students from using it to write their essays, do their math? How are kids going to learn anything anymore when all their homework can be done by AI? 18:34 Well, if you have an AI agent, that's you, right? So technically you're not cheating. 18:43 I don't know what they're going to do about that. Is that going to be okay for kids to take home their homework? And maybe they won't have homework. 18:52 Maybe you'll have to do it in school. Do work without your phones. I don't know how that works. Without your phones in class and do the work here in class. 19:01 Yeah, that'd be the only way you could possibly ensure that they're doing it instead of AI. Right. Right? 19:09 This is going to be, I would think, a challenge in schools now. 19:14 Because, you know, if AI is doing all your stuff, then you're not learning anything. 19:19 I was trying to think there was a... I heard an interview with a college professor, which, you know, give or take, whatever they say. But he was saying that... 19:30 He reads them and then kind of runs them through his own AI agent to see that if it was used by another AI agent. 19:38 Is that foolproof, though? I don't know. I don't know. If you were to accuse some kid of, you used AI. 19:45 How do you prove that? 19:48 I don't know. 19:49 I don't know. It's a whole new world. It's completely different than it was when we went to school. Of course, I mean, the founding fathers said they even started public schools by the time when you were in school. 20:01 I mean, I was in public school a couple years ago, you know. Completely different, though. It is a strange new world. Yeah, yeah. 20:13 And also fantastic. I mean, we're learning new things every day. In many ways it is. Yeah. I mean, there's some incredible things on the horizon that are happening. 20:23 Then we have to decide. Are governments going to strictly regulate AI development to prevent job loss, to prevent privacy infringement? 20:35 They're going to have to. What about defakes? What's going to happen there? 20:39 We're already dealing with some of that. Every day. Every day. 20:44 Autonomous warfare. Should AI systems be banned from participating in military warfare? 20:51 Who's going to do that? I mean, there's the UN. We're going to ban it. You can't use it. Okay. 20:58 Nobody. We're going to have to self-police. Absolutely. That's going to have to be done by the U.S. military or China's military. You're going to have to decide on your own. 21:08 If you're willing to take the chance that AI runs your systems. 21:12 Because that could be really bad. And you could end up with either one-on-one, one human soldier to one robot soldier. 21:21 And hopefully maybe the human is the one who is in charge of that robot. So the robot does what that human says to do. I don't know. Look, you're not going to... 21:36 If you wake up and walk outside your house and there's 500 robots, soldiers, blocking your neighborhood, what are you going to do? 21:48 What are you going to do? Going back in the house. I'm going to go back in the house. Are you guys going to run to the store for me? 21:54 Because I need a couple things. 21:58 I don't know. 22:00 It's going to be interesting to see because Elon says that he's going to be producing a million robots a year. And Optimus is going to be... 22:08 Per year. We mentioned it earlier. He's apparently next year. It's on sale. Next year. It goes on sale next year. It's supposed to come out. Consumer availability targeted for the end of next year. So I'll take a test one right now. And it's 20,000? Yeah. 20 to 30. 22:25 But I think you can rent them too, right? Yeah. I hope so. Yeah, you wouldn't. I mean, how affordable are they going to be? 22:33 At least this new model right here for you today. 22:35 Uh-huh. 888-727-BECK. More coming up. 22:49 Let me ask you a question, and I want you to really think about it. When a decision gets made about your health care, who's in the room? Because it's not just you and your doctor. It's your insurance company. They have files on you, pages of it. And here's the part it should bother you. It's not always accurate. Somebody from this audience found this out. He called Chapter the only Medicare advisor that I trust because his cost kept climbing, and nobody would tell him why. His Chapter advisor dug in and found the record that they were using on him, and it was flat-out wrong. So she corrected it and went back to work finding him better options. 23:23 Nobody else is going to do that. That's the difference. That's chapter. Their advisors aren't paid to push one plan over another. They're on your side of the table. They compare every Medicare plan nationwide. They have found people an average of $1,100 a year in health care savings. And the call is completely free. It'll take you about 20 minutes. Talk to chapter today. Dial pound 250. Say the keyword chapter. That's pound 250. Keyword chapter. Pound 250. Chapter. 23:49 Don't just read history, experience it with the American Story series. Immerse yourself at glennbeck.com slash torch. 23:59 Uh... 24:19 Pat and Jeffy for Glenn. Today, 888-727-BECK. Let's look at the lighter side of things with Jeffy's Fat Five. 24:29 All right, let's do it. Join the Fat Fat Five. NASA is seeking applicants for a year-long simulated mission. 24:37 called The Moon and Mars Exploration Analog, set to begin no earlier than August of next year at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Volunteers will live in confined habitats that replicate the conditions of deep space travel and life on Mars, including isolation, limited resources, communication delays. They want to study human adaptation and performance in extreme environments. Doesn't that sound fun? Doesn't it sound fun? Oh, man. 25:07 I want to do that. Sign me right up. Applicants, you're going to reside in two enclosures, including the Mars Dune Alpha, which is a 1,700-square-foot 3D-printed habitat. And the simulation will include mock Mars walks and rover operations. to explore areas beyond the main habitat, robotic operations, exercise routines, simulated equipment, failures, and resource limitations, just like now. They're going to mimic real missing challenges. 25:39 They showed a picture of the last... 25:43 pretend astronauts at their simulation, and they're in this stairway that leads down into the center, and it's them looking up, smiling, and I'm thinking, yeah, that's why there's no fat guy seating on any of the rocket ships there. Yeah, that wouldn't be comfortable at all. I'm not in that picture. I'm just below that. 26:06 I'm the one taking the picture. How long are they in there? I think it's a year. 26:12 I think it's a year. 26:13 One guy and three girls, three women. 26:17 Interesting. 26:18 That is interesting. That's interesting. That is. Volunteer requirements. NASA is looking for healthy, motivated U.S. citizens or permanent residents, age 30 to 55, who are nonsmokers and proficient in English language. Applicants should have a STEM background such as a master's degree in engineering, mathematics, or biological, physical, or computer sciences with at least two years of professional experience or equivalent qualifications like pilot hours or doctoral progress. 26:51 Volunteers must pass physical and psychological assessments and participate in a multi-day selection process. So good luck. 26:59 Good luck if you want to do that. Sounds fun. It does. It does sound fun. I mean, I'd like to go to Mars. 27:08 Oh, I'd love to go to Mars. I'd hop on a Mars trip if they put in a special fat guy seating. Probably not coming back. 27:17 Oh, no. 27:18 Suit. It'd almost be worth it just to be there for a while. It'd be cool. All right. 27:24 Goodbye. 27:29 My wife's not listening today, so I should be fine. Okay, good. Surrounded by, I didn't send this video in because it was agonizing, but surrounded by all these applauding women, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healy signed a sweeping new abortion bill. that removes the state's gestational age limit, giving health care providers greater discretion to perform abortions later in pregnancy. The law replaces the state's previous general restriction on abortions after 24 weeks with limited exceptions and is set to take effect 90 days from now. 28:00 Massachusetts now becomes the 10th state to remove gestational age limits on abortion. 28:06 Yay! 28:08 Yay! We can kill our babies anytime we want! 28:13 So there's no limit. That's correct. You can abort the baby at any stage. At the discretion of... 28:21 The mother? You. Yeah, right? Or you're having your health care professional. 28:26 Yeah. 28:27 Wow. 28:28 I was amazed at if there's 10 states. So we have Alaska, Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts now, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, and Vermont. 28:39 Washington, D.C. But have no limit on abortion. Also has no gestational limits at Washington, D.C. Medical discretion care in these states relies on the professional judgment of a medical doctor rather than a fixed timeline. 28:53 Wow. Okay. 28:55 Yay. They can kill their babies anytime. 28:58 Anytime. Anytime they want. That's wonderful. Yeah. 29:03 I don't understand. No, I don't either. Thinking at all. I mean, just good luck. Good luck. That's all I'm saying. Good luck. 29:15 Mark Zuckerberg, you know him, you love him. 29:17 I really don't. 29:19 I don't know him. Mark Zuckerberg. And I actually don't love him. The head guy of meta. No, yeah. Facebook, Instagram. 29:26 No, I know the guy. WhatsApp. I just don't know him or like him. 29:29 Well, he posted a video yesterday that's out there. He wants to help humanity with super intelligence. All right. Helping everyone and everything. 29:39 Mm-hmm. 29:43 future for everyone is to make sure that everyone has access to personal super intelligence. So today I am proud to share that we are open sourcing a new class of on-device models that we call Muse Glimmer. It's a 30 billion parameter dense model that runs on your laptop and it's the highest performing model of its size. In the coming weeks, we are also going to open the weights for MuseSpark 1.2, our latest foundation model and one of the leading models in the world. We've got even bigger models that are coming soon, too. 30:14 Another part of building a positive future for everyone is making sure that everywhere we build infrastructure, local communities benefit. We've already seen this with the teachers in Richland Parish who got $50,000 bonuses because of the extra tax revenue from our investments. And we launched America's Workforce Academy to provide free training and guaranteed jobs at our infrastructure sites. 30:35 Today, we're starting a new Future is for Everyone fund to invest in the community's teachers, first responders, energy and water infrastructure, and more ways to support those communities directly. That's awesome. We're also working to make sure that everyone has a personal superintelligence agent that works 24-7 on your behalf to improve your health, your relationships, your career, your finances, and more. Wow. 30:57 That's what I want. 30:59 You can use our latest models in the Meta AI app. 31:01 And I'm looking forward to sharing more soon. You'll have to download the Meta AI app. I just don't trust him. 31:07 Well, after that video? Yeah, especially after that video. 31:11 If you're watching on Blaze TV and Torch after that video. And we don't have... 31:16 artificial super intelligence yet what's he saying there how how are we gonna how are you gonna provide that my personal super intelligence when we don't have it yet well you're gonna download the app okay all right and then when when he does have it 31:32 Then he'll give it to me. You can charge a little bit more for the upgrade. Then you'll have it. Okay. I can't wait for that. I'm pretty sure that's how that's going to work because there was an open AI. I love the story. 31:45 The former open AI researcher, she left because she was going to go build telepathy. She predicted that the main way to communicate with AI agents in a couple of years was Telepathy? Yeah. What did I say, telepathy? Yeah, telepathy. Naomi Bashkansky joined Conduit as a founding researcher, and she said she described her vision. We're building... Telepathy? Telepathy. 32:14 Thought-to-text models trained on non-invasive neural data. So we just have to think about it. And our AI agent, our AI agent, will know. 32:26 That's kind of like that. 32:28 What is the Elon Musk thing where they look into your brain and they help people who are quadriplegic? 32:33 Yeah, the Neuralink. It's a lot like that. Yeah. 32:36 Interesting. 32:37 Will I need a Neuralink? Oh, maybe. I put that chip in. 32:43 Yeah. 32:44 To be able to talk to them through telepathy. Yeah, to be able to do that. Right. I can't say the words. Just do it there. 32:55 But it's coming. And you mentioned it earlier. 32:58 We've got to be ready for that. 33:01 No doubt about it. He finally did it. And if I could get my email page to work here, I could tell you that he finally did it. 33:10 He swam across the Baltic Sea. I do know the story. 33:14 Who is he? Well, I can't see his name right now. You can't see his name. That's what I thought. That's why I asked specifically what his name is. What is it? 33:25 I don't know. Yeah, it's Prakowski or something like that. Okay. 33:28 I'm going to give him his credit. 33:29 As soon as my computer begins to work and not freeze up, I'll give you his name. But he swam across the Baltic, and it took like 55 hours, and he stayed awake the whole time. It was a 55-hour swim? Yeah. Yeah. 33:44 And he stayed awake the whole time. He had people taking care of him. Did he have any breaks? 33:52 Like he got onto a boat for a while? 33:54 No, that was the whole thing. No, he said he started hallucinating. He lost sleep and everything. He was going crazy. And the people that were there alongside of him, they gave him food and were giving him, hey, good job. 34:04 That would happen to me after about 15 minutes. 34:08 55 hours? 34:09 Yeah, I think it was 55 hours, like 90 miles. I think it was over 90 to 100 miles, something like that. 34:15 Oh, that's crazy. Wow. 34:17 And he was really exhaustion, no sleep, and he was hallucinating. But he finally made it. And this is the video of him making it to Poland. Oh, okay. But he's happy that he's done, I'll tell you that. No kidding. 34:37 I can't believe he can even walk. 34:44 Look at that. That's amazing. Wow. 34:59 It looks like he's half dead, doesn't he? Well, he looks like he's been swimming for 55 hours. 35:04 He is. Oh, that's crazy. 35:07 Wow. Good for him. He raised money. He raised anywhere between $190,000 and $250,000 for this cancer research place, which was really great for him to do that. But it took him five tries. 35:21 Whatever. 35:22 What a sissy. 35:24 Five tries. I know. 35:27 How do you even train for something like that? 35:29 Well, you fail four times. That's how you train for something like that. Wow. Yeah, his support crew. He swam, yeah, roughly 99 miles in 55 hours and 10 minutes. 35:42 Really, really incredible. Yeah, I know. I mean, again... 35:46 Why do you want to do something? I mean, good for him. To raise money, I guess. Yeah, good for him. And, you know, I'm happy that... Me? 35:53 I don't want to do something like that. 35:55 Bartholomew Kubkowski completed that extraordinary non-stop swim from Kastenberg of Sweden. to Dzwina, Poland. I love Dzwina, Poland. This time of year? Yeah, beautiful. Gorgeous. Okay, I was just going to remind people that there was no winner in the jackpot last night for Powerball. Oh, that's really disturbing. Right? Yeah, it's really disturbing. So it went up to $975 million. It won't break the billion. 36:25 What are we doing? I don't know what we're doing. Only $422.3 million cash payout. What are we doing? 36:33 Thank you. That's what I'm asking. 36:35 What are we doing? What are we doing? 36:38 It's inconceivable. It is. 888-727-BEC. Glenn Beck will be right back. 36:56 Cozy Earth's mission is to transform the time that matters most, your sleep, into the most comfortable part of your day.

This leads to a faster sleep onset, better mood regulation, and significantly improved sleep quality. That is exactly why Cozy Earth's premium sheets are just such a game changer. Tanya and I love the sheets in the heat of Florida or here at the ranch. These sheets give our bed the luxurious feel and comfort for great sleep. 37:28 Made from viscose from bamboo, they naturally wick away heat and moisture from your body. They're temperature-regulating, helping everybody sleep several degrees cooler to completely eliminate the risk of night sweats. So try them out completely risk-free. Cozy Earth has a 100-night sleep trial, and every set is built to last with a 10-year warranty. Head to CozyEarth.com right now. Use the promo code BECK, get 20% off. That's code BECK, 20% off, and you get a post-purchase survey. Make sure you mention you heard about CozyEarth right here. 38:09 It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week, 888-727-BECK. Jeffy, you were mentioning the... 38:16 the new abortion law in Massachusetts. 38:20 Yeah. That is unbelievable. It sure is. 38:22 Where they've removed the limits completely now on when you can get an abortion because it was at 24 weeks. Is that right? Yes. Which is really late to begin with. 38:32 Yes. Yes, it is. And then they made it Even worse. That's correct. And it really just kind of ticked me off this morning. I probably shouldn't have put it in the fat five, but I was watching it, and they're all behind. She's signing it, and they're clapping. A bunch of lemmings. 38:47 It just pissed me off. 38:48 Well, yeah. 38:49 Yeah. I mean, the problem is abortion has gotten worse since Roe v. Wade has returned. Yeah. It really has. It has. Between states making rulings like Massachusetts just did and taking off all limits on abortion, You can order the abortion pill, get it through the mail, and just take the pill afterward instead of getting a surgical abortion or whatever, going to a clinic. You don't have to go to a Planned Parenthood anymore. All you have to do is take the pill. 39:23 So abortions actually went up after Roe v. Wade was overturned. So... 39:31 I don't know what they're complaining about, you know, on the abortion activists, because it's worse for us. It's better for them now than it was before, which is ridiculous and shouldn't be that way. For sure. It absolutely is. It's insane. It's insanity. 39:50 And all we hear is... Harder, harder. He wants to stop us from having babies, from being able to kill our babies. It's harder for women's health care. 39:59 Oh, it's just... 40:01 Yeah. Reproductive rights. We've taken away reproductive rights. Yes. 40:05 Okay. Yes, we have. 40:07 All right. 40:07 Yes, we have. 40:10 Agonizing. At one point, Pat, there was a lady that had to drive to another state. I heard that. To kill her baby. I heard that. How could we even think about inconveniencing her that way? Isn't this America? Yeah, it is. 40:25 You should have drive-through abortions. 40:26 She had to drive from one state to another. 40:29 Yeah. Yeah. 40:31 And I think it wasn't very far either. I think she lived in the northern part of Texas and went to New Mexico. And so it was across the border, and she got the abortion. 40:46 But made a huge deal out of it. It sure did. It was the worst thing that ever happened in her life. She had to actually drive to another state just to kill her baby. 40:57 Oh, man. Terrible. You know, if you would think about it in that way for a minute, it might make a difference, but of course they don't. They don't think of it like that. 41:08 No, they don't. 41:09 It's a clump of sales. 41:10 Sells. That's all it is. And that's why ultrasounds work. Yeah. That's why pre-born, you know, has been successful. Oh my gosh, yes. Yeah. 41:20 And it used to be law in Texas that you had to, before you got an abortion, you had to see the ultrasound. And that reduced them by like 80%. That's awesome. And they got rid of that law, of course. More coming up. 41:41 You know, it really bothers me about modern health care. We tend to treat normal as though it's the same thing as healthy. You tell your doctor you're tired all the time. Your energy is down. You're not thinking as clearly as you used to. And what they tell you is, well, I'm going to run a few basic tests, but everything comes back within range. The conversation is over, but you don't feel normal. 42:04 You don't feel healthy. That's one of the reasons I love Jevity. They take a completely different approach. Instead of looking at a dozen basic labs, they run more than 100 hormone, inflammation, metabolic health, nutrient levels, the things that can help explain how you're actually feeling and may even reveal the problems years before they become a diagnosis. A phlebotomist will come right to your home. Real care team reviews your results and they build a personalized plan based on your data, not some one-size-fits-all guidelines.

This is the Glenn Beck Program. 43:32 With Pat and Jeffy. 43:37 888-727-BECK, if you'd like to get in touch with us during the course of the show. 43:44 The president, remember when he switched planes in Turkey recently? Yeah. Some interesting things have come up about that. 43:54 Yeah, a little bit more than just switching a plane. 43:57 Yeah. There are some things involved, and it is kind of fascinating. We'll get into that in one minute. You know, there's a strange thing that happens when the cost of living goes up. You start looking for little places to save money while some of the biggest expenses in your life are sitting there untouched. You cancel a subscription, maybe you buy the cheaper groceries, maybe you put off a purchase for another month. Meanwhile, those credit cards are still charging you 20% interest. 44:26 Look, if you own your home, American financing wants you to look at the bigger number. The equity you've built up in your home may give you a way to consolidate that high interest credit to car debt and dramatically reduce what you're obligated to pay every month. In fact, American financing borrowers save an average of $800 a month and there are zero upfront fees. You may even be able to delay up to two mortgage payments and timing matters because Rates right now are currently in the fives, with a strong chance they could move higher next month in September. 45:07 Again, zero upfront fees, and you might even be able to delay up to two mortgage payments. Lock in your lower rate before September by calling 800-906-2440, that's 800-906-2440, or visit AmericanFinancing.net. 45:25 NMLS 182334 NMLSConsumerAccess.org APR for Ritz and the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms I think he stole my job Yeah, he did, didn't he? 45:39 I don't like him Nah, that used to be That used to be a Jeff Fisher I don't like him Disclaimer It's not anymore No, it is not Kick to the curb, Pat Yeah Kick to the curb It's sad But true 45:51 So remember last month, was it last month? Seems like. When he was in Turkey. 45:55 Yeah, he was in Turkey. 45:57 In July. 45:58 Yes. He was using the new jet, the new Air Force One that we got from, who was that? Qatar. Qatar, yeah. Supposedly like a $400 million plane they gave us for free. 46:12 And it was given to the American people, not to Donald Trump. Specifically because after he's done, I guess it goes to the Donald Trump library. Yes. So it's for America. So stop your whining on the left. Thank you. Okay. Pipe down. 46:28 But he didn't take it on the way back because there was a huge threat from Iran, right? 46:34 Well, correct. And we thought he took it. See, that's the thing. Remember, we questioned, like, well, if they had to switch planes in Germany, I think. 46:45 Because remember he said that they had to switch planes because of threats and they wanted to have the old Air Force One because the new Air Force One didn't have... 46:57 some upgrade that was supposed to happen. Yeah. That's what we were told. Yes. And originally they wanted to show off the new Air Force One to all the troops in Germany, which I'm sure they were excited about. Yeah. 47:12 But the thing is, is that that didn't actually happen. Mm-hmm. Right. Air Force One wasn't Air Force One at that time. 47:21 So, I mean, we watched him board and publicly go up the stairs and board the plane. And then what we didn't know— And they let photographers take pictures of that. Yes. And then what we didn't know is that then he went across through the plane— to a smaller military jetty. Went through the plane. Got out of the plane. They had a food truck backed up to Air Force One, which never happens. But the way they allowed the cameras to be held, you couldn't tell at the time. 47:56 So he walks through the plane and walks down a different set of stairs and then gets into the food truck, right? 48:04 Well, through the food truck, gets into another plane, walks onto another plane. Yeah, okay. And that plane obviously becomes Air Force One, but nobody knew that. 48:14 uh at the time kind of a cool uh yeah cloak and dagger thing yeah i guess i guess the truck did drive him across the tarmac to the other plane yeah uh yeah he got into it and they drove him over there and nobody knew the president was in there which was the point of this thing right and because they always and i caitlin uh collins mm-hmm 48:35 Not Caitlin Clark. No. 48:38 The Indiana Fever basketball player this time didn't make the trip with President Trump. Usually she does. She's usually with him wherever he goes. But for whatever reason, she didn't go to Turkey. Whatever. So this was Caitlin. The other two. Yeah, from CNN. 48:55 And I found it interesting from her perspective because she was there. Yeah. And she didn't even know it. And she kind of defends what was going on. 49:03 Absolutely. Yeah. So here she is talking about that. 49:07 Typically, when the president is getting off the plane, we get off first and then we wait for him to descend and he comes and gaggles or or whatnot, get to the motorcade. We look back at the pool notes from the day of this trip and the president's the plane landed and it was a good amount of time before the reporters exited to go and watch the president. And he got off that day and you watched him board, deplane the old Air Force One and get on the new one. That is something pretty unusual because when I was flying with the president a few months ago and there was an electrical issue with the Air Force One, we had to change planes, they did not let us record the president changing planes. 49:42 So they made a point of showing him getting on the new plane here. But the other part of this is that on the old Air Force One, reporters are seated on the right side of the plane. During this trip, they were asked to lower their window shades on the plane, which is very unusual. That's never happened to me. The only time I can remember that happening is when reporters go to war zones with the president. 50:03 All the shades lowered. But obviously this was the scenario where the catering trucks on the other side of the plane. They didn't want reporters to see that because there's never a catering truck for Air Force One. That's very unusual. And when the president was asked later, when he was gaggling with reporters about them lowering their shades, he said because there was a threat against them and the plane and so it's just remarkable to to read this washington post scoop on the levels and lengths that they went to um to not just deceive the press but everyone about where the president was and effectively the reporters and staff who were on that plane i mean it's serving as a decoy while he's flying on this other military aircraft is he ever going to use the new plane well now it's being retrofitted 50:45 Yeah, we'll get to it, Anderson. Don't worry about it. So, yeah, he's going to use a new plane. 50:49 But it's got to be retrofitted. You want it to be safe, right? I mean, I know you hate this guy. 50:56 With every ounce in you. You don't want the President of the United States to be killed. No, you do not. As an American citizen, please tell me that you've got that much common sense. 51:06 Anderson will say that. 51:08 Yeah, he will. 51:09 I don't know that he believes it, but he will say that. 51:11 I think Anderson probably does. Yeah, he does. He does. It's just a joke, Anderson. 51:15 There are those, however, at CNN who probably feel the opposite way. Yes. 51:21 Yes. 51:23 But, you know, some of the publications have been reporting on this like they're pissed. Yeah. How dare you? The scoop. What is the subterfuge it was? We were led to believe he was on that plane, and then no. 51:36 And then now he wasn't? And the press was the decoy? 51:41 Yes. 51:42 Yes. 51:44 It's pretty cool, actually. It is. It's absolutely cool. It's a nice job by the Secret Service. Yeah, thank you. I would like to say thank you to them. That's fantastic. They've had some down moments in the last couple of years. Yes, they have. But this wasn't one of them. 51:57 No, it was not. So you like to hear that they're capable of protecting the president of the United States because that's their job. And we've had instances where we haven't had total confidence. 52:08 It appeared that they weren't doing their job. Right. 52:12 But in this particular case. They absolutely were. Thanks for doing it. Yes, they absolutely were. Because it worked out really well. That's right. It worked out. 52:21 The outcome was what it should have been. 52:23 And I don't know what the countermeasures are that aren't on this plane that are on the old one. I don't know. Because they won't. I mean, obviously, they're not going to tell us. 52:33 they don't want you to know what Air Force One can do. 52:36 It can probably do some pretty amazing things. 52:38 It absolutely can. I would think. It absolutely can. 52:42 Maybe that's where they employ the technology of transporting things from one location. To Diego Garcia, like they did with H370. 52:52 I don't know. Maybe that's where that comes in. Maybe it is. I don't know. They didn't show us that. When you watch the documentary Air Force One with Harrison Ford. They did not show us that. You get a good picture of Air Force One, but they did not show that capability. 53:06 No, and they probably won't. So if you believe that we have that technology, we should use it more. 53:14 There's a lot of missiles that could be redirected right back to the people who sent them if we have that technology. I'm okay with that. Yeah, me too. Me too. But maybe they're saving it. If we do have that technology, and I'm not absolutely 100% convinced we do, but if we do have that teleporting technology that was discussed in MH370, you would probably want to save that for nuclear war. 53:40 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got a bunch of nukes coming at you, and then you use that technology to send them right back to the source. 53:46 Right, and look, I agree with that's a great idea. That needs to happen, but we still need to make sure that it works properly and that we can use it in time, so we need to practice. 53:57 You can't just roll that out higgly piggly. 54:01 Maybe that's what MH370 was, but we've digressed. That's a whole different topic. So that's been amazing, though, to see over the years. We've talked to Ashton Forbes, who is kind of the father of that theory. We've talked to him on a number of occasions. On Pat Gray Unleashed, yeah. Fascinating. Fascinating. Which, by the way, you can hear that show immediately preceding this one on the Blaze Radio and TV network or anytime, anywhere you get your podcasts. 54:31 Well, worth your time. We certainly think it is. And we do try to make the apocalypse fun. The apocalypse is, in fact, going on right now. 54:41 We're just trying to take a little bit of the sting out of it. 54:44 Yeah. Just know the sting is still happening. Oh, yes. You still get the sting. 54:49 It just may not hurt as much if you get to laugh through it every once in a while. Yesterday, the White House posted some AI-generated Game of Thrones material. 55:01 You didn't see this? Oh, I don't think I saw this. Yeah. Check this out. This is cut 12. White House AI-generated Game of Thrones intro. 55:13 Pretty good. 55:14 Let's get to it with the different places. Yeah. Yeah, it's around. Yeah. 55:23 Okay. 55:24 You know the producers of Game of Thrones are pissed off about that. HBO could not have evocated that. No. Absolutely not. There's no way. And they just did it anyway. Because it's different. It's an AI version. I mean, not that I know a little bit about that, just a tad, because there are different videos that... 55:46 we could possibly play on the air from time to time that we create through AI, that means that it's not the same video. And so we get to air it because it's not the same video. 56:00 Whether the creator of the original source agrees with the Trump administration or not, hey, get that little out. That's correct. 56:09 You know, they've already submitted a cease and desist, I'm sure. 56:12 But I don't think they probably can. Probably not. I'm sure that while that sounds similar, it's not the same. Not the same thing. 56:21 So get over yourself. 888-727-BECK.

We were just talking about that mock Game of Thrones intro the White House did. You know how that is driving Hollywood out of their minds. 57:53 And it's just, by the way, but it does. But, oh, man, him wanting to be a king and he's a king. Oh, that's just feeding the fire. There's few things that President Trump loves doing more than... 58:06 sticking it to Hollywood. He loves that. He just loves to fire them up. CNN, MSNOW, all of them. 58:15 He does a really good job of that. Nobody's better at that than he is. When they sent him, you know, we just created an AI version of Game of Thrones. What do you think? Air it. Post it. Air it. Post it. Put it on all platforms. 58:30 And it's amazing, though, how universal the... 58:37 the thought process is in Hollywood. I mean, they're all lefties. It sure is. Not quite all of them. No, not all. But the vast, vast majority. Yes. 58:47 More so than probably in any other walk of life, unless you're a professor in the Ivy League. 58:53 Because I think 100% of professors in the Ivy League are lefties. And it's probably 99.9% in the other universities. Yeah. Yes. 59:03 Even the ones you consider to be pretty conservative. Yeah. The professors themselves. Oftentimes the professors aren't. 59:10 They're not conservative in any way. Okay, so 99%. I'll give you the 0.9. 59:15 And then we wonder why so many of our young people come out as leftists, just soaking in everything the left wing has to say. They believe what the left believes. 59:29 And it's really too bad. And it's tough to say something. I remember when my son was in college and he was taking a course and the professor was bashing Glenn Beck. And he was texting me during the class going... 59:46 I was going to raise my hand and say, I know him. He's okay. 59:50 But he didn't. 59:51 And he didn't. 59:52 Because you're afraid of being ostracized, right? You don't want to be, all right. That actually has changed now. He is not afraid of that at all. Times have changed. Was that at our local community college? Is that where that happened? That happened at the University of Missouri. 60:11 Oh, it happened in Missouri. 60:12 Oh, that son. Yes. 60:14 Okay. 60:15 All right. 60:17 I can't imagine him being shy about sharing even back then. 60:20 Yeah, I know, but he was in class, but I was just in class. 60:23 So this was Elvis, who played D1 football at the University of Missouri. 60:28 Wow. Interesting. 60:34 All right. It's not worth the fight. 60:36 You're sitting there in class, and the professor is babbling on his hatred of multiple people on Top Plus going back. And he's just like, you're not winning that as a student. No, that's true. You're not winning it. 60:51 That's true. 60:52 I mean, you can have those fights, absolutely. And I believe that he would have loved to have it, but it's not worth it. It's not worth your time. 61:01 Right. Right. All right. 888-727-BECK. The president has a new vaccine schedule that he's come out with. 61:12 The administration has come out with it for kids. And, you know, talk about making the left crazy. Here's another, yet another instance where they're just out of their minds over this vaccine schedule thing, which is ridiculous. Why? 61:25 We're trying to help children. 61:27 what do they try to foist on our kids like 90 different vaccines so here's the president talking about the new schedule this is your executive order on establishing gold standard vaccine recommendations sir as previous speakers have indicated this is going to establish essentially a new vaccine schedule that is fully informed by the research and data that we have from hhs and nih and other aspects of the government It also takes a very hard line on some of the more paternalistic issues that we've been talking about here, sir, in terms of infringing on parents' religious liberty or really just parents' ability to make decisions for their children. 62:07 So as Heidi said, this is a very big deal. We're not waiting for anyone else to take action, as you do so often, sir. We're just going ahead and doing the right thing based on all of the best available research to ensure that America's parents and children are being as best protected by the federal government as they can be. Very good. 62:25 Thank you. 62:26 How dare you. 62:30 How dare you change this at all. 62:35 But he just did. But he just did. But the sign of the sharpie. 62:38 That's a big one. It is a big one. 62:40 Yeah, it is a big one. Yeah. 62:44 And the thing is, if you still want to get every single vaccine. Probably can't. You can. It's not like you can't ever do this. 62:55 These are recommendations that the White House is making. This is just what is recommended. So if you want to go wild and you want to give your kid every vaccination possible. I can still do it? You can still do it. Yes. Knock yourself out. 63:12 Yes. 63:12 Yes. I want them to be safe. Yes. I want them to be safe. Give them all 90 at the same time. 63:18 Go ahead. 63:20 You're the parent. Thank you. You be the judge. 888-727-BECK.

Yeah. Oh, he's so handsome. Have you seen how handsome he is? He's a good-looking man. 65:22 Oh, he's so handsome. He was just trying to, you know, save the people. Yeah, was he? Was he? He was trying to save the people. 65:29 This is one of the more pathetic things I've maybe ever seen. 65:33 is the support for this guy. It's amazing, but he's got it. Yeah, he does. And they're in court today to talk about cameras in the trial, I believe. Among other things. Yeah. 65:42 And the last two rows of the courtroom were filled with about 20 Mangione supporters. 65:50 you're supporting this murderer who murdered a father. 65:53 I mean, we have evidence on film. Or on digital photography. Yes. Yes. You can see it unfold right before your eyes. 66:06 But, you know, he was just trying to, I don't know what he was trying to do. 66:10 Well, it's okay because the guy that he murdered, Pat, used to be in charge of an insurance company. 66:19 I guess that's supposed to legitimize it? 66:21 Yeah, that's supposed to legitimize it. 66:23 Make it okay? 66:24 Because insurance companies rip people off every day. 66:27 Health insurance companies murder people every day by not allowing certain things to be covered. 66:33 And Manjoni never made the case that This particular CEO of UnitedHealthcare was any kind of problem to anybody. I mean, what? 66:43 At first, people said, well, he had back pain and he couldn't get surgery because UHC wouldn't cover it. What? And then that turned out not to be the case. He didn't even have UHC. 66:56 Medical insurance. 66:57 It's all the other people that are making up the excuses. Yeah. Not him. 67:01 Right. Right. There is no excuse for what he did, of course. But now, I guess what he's saying is that he was insane at that moment. 67:15 Prosecutors allege that Mangione gunned down Brian Thompson in an assassination-style killing, which we have seen, on a midtown Manhattan street in 2024. He pled not guilty in separate state and federal cases. 67:32 and faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted in the two months since Mangione last appeared in court. His defense lawyers abruptly withdrew plans to argue that he was experiencing an extreme emotional disturbance. Oh. 67:51 Yeah, that happens a lot with criminals. 67:53 Yeah, doesn't it though? The rare psychiatric defense would have involved Mangioni's lawyers arguing he experienced a profound loss of self-control at the time of his alleged murder. 68:07 And so he should be convicted of the lesser crime of manslaughter, which carries a 25-year maximum sentence. Yeah, no. 68:16 No is right. Go ahead and try it. But the whole insane at the moment thing, I mean, that could be true defense for everyone. 68:26 Yes, if you fall into that trap... 68:30 Nobody's going to get convicted for murder. Well, I was really pissed and I lost control for a minute. Sorry. 68:35 Oh, okay. I was insane. I didn't know what I was doing at the time. I loved her so much. Yeah, but I just, man, at that moment, I wasn't me. It was somebody else. It was like I stepped out of my own body and then I murdered her. 68:49 That's a good defense, actually. And this guy, it would probably work, actually, but this guy planned it. for I don't know how long. It was quite a while. Yeah. 69:01 He knew where he was going to be. He was there. 69:05 Right. 69:07 So I don't know how you get around that. 69:10 with uh man joni but he's got to have a defense so i mean i guess he you know he's gonna have to say whatever he has to say to try to save himself um and and you know everybody deserves a defense but but again innocent until proven guilty the bigger issue is our societal rot and the fact that so many people have praised him have supported him maybe that's why we don't need cameras in the courtroom Yeah. I mean, I don't know what works better. 69:41 I want open. I want to see what goes on. Yeah, I do too. But maybe if we don't show it, does that, I mean, if we show it, does that work to his advantage? 69:52 If we keep it down on the down low or we don't show it and we just get artist renderings every day at the end of court, does that make it better for society? 70:03 No, and the judge has said that he's been through high-profile trials before. So this isn't the first time he's ever been through this. It'll be fine. I hope that's true. We can do this openly. So I don't know. Good. He seems open to it. I'm all about that. 70:20 So, you know, we'll see what happens. 70:23 In the meantime, our guy from Utah is changing his plea too. 70:30 The guy who killed Charlie? Charlie Kerr? 70:32 No, the guy who killed the four girls or whatever at the house. 70:36 Oh, that's Idaho, not Utah. Neighboring state. Oh, yeah. Yes. 70:39 That's out there somewhere. Okay. 70:42 Idaho, Utah, whatever. Same kind of thing. Mormon's in both those states. Same thing. 70:49 Same thing. He changed his plea to what? No, the Brian Koberger. Right. He's said... 70:55 Killed the four students. Yeah. 70:57 From the University of Idaho. He wants to change his plea to innocent... 71:05 He said he's actually innocent. The plea that he did was based on false promises and blatant disinformation from his attorneys. He alleges they convinced him to falsely confess through coercion, withholding exorbitatory evidence, and promising benefits like immediate visitation rights, freedom of movement, and employment. Benefits, he says, were not delivered. 71:31 Employment? That's what he's saying. 71:34 They promised him a job? So if he pled guilty, they were going to give him a job. 71:40 Absolutely. 71:42 What? Absolutely. Like construction work? What was he going to? 71:46 Probably just jumping at the prison, right? 71:48 Making him license plates or folding towels for the hotels or whatever they do. So is he trying to say then he didn't do it at all? Wow. 71:58 I guess. 71:59 Pretty amazing. I mean, that's... No. Because that is a gruesome, really sad, horrifying story of why he... I don't think they even have a motive with him. If they do, I don't know what it was. Right. He apparently stalked them for a while, and then he went into the house that night, and was seen by one of the other roommates and she ran into a room and shut and locked the door and then he just went upstairs and killed two of them and then killed two of them in a different bedroom i think downstairs while walking past that same girl again left her completely alone nobody knows why nobody knows what was going through his mind i mean just bizarre how Horrific that she has to live with that. 72:51 And one of the witnesses said that, you know, the University of Idaho is in Moscow, Idaho. Not Utah. Not Utah. Okay, this will be clear. And Washington State University is in Pullman, Washington, which is seven miles away. Okay. So there was a student who went to school with him at Washington State, and they were in the same class. 73:15 And the name of the class was The Mind of a Serial Killer. 73:21 Yeah, the serial killer thing. 73:23 He took the Mind of a Serial Killer class at Washington State and then became one. 73:30 Creepy. Really creepy. Weird. 73:34 Don't understand that. But now he's saying that he wants to claim his innocence and he was going to sometime, I guess, defending himself here. The defense attorney said those are incredulous. We know we did a great job securing a death penalty waiver for him. So the judge said he's going to appoint a counsel through the public defender's office to handle the petition. To try to change it, but I don't think that they will allow it. I don't think they're going to allow it. I think they're just going to end up saying, oh, yeah, you know, that employment thing is off. 74:07 The employment. 74:08 Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. If someone actually did tell you that, sorry. 74:15 Oh, well. 74:16 Yeah, that's what I say. 74:17 Oh, well. 74:19 And the one family of one of the girls, and I apologize for not knowing the name of the family, they were pissed, and still are, that they took the death penalty off. Oh, I can imagine. That this was the plea deal for life in prison. I think for... 74:39 consecutive terms or whatever for in prison instead of the death penalty. 74:42 Since they're changing their plea, does that change the deal they made? Maybe it does. Maybe that puts the death penalty back on the table. 74:52 But it also means that they have to relive the whole thing all over again. Yeah, that's horrifying. Yeah. 74:57 And who wants to do that? 74:58 I don't wish that on anyone. No. 75:00 You believe that was a year and a half ago already? I do not. December of 24. 75:05 Incredible. 75:07 All right, 888-727-BECK. Moore, Patton, and Jeffy. Forgot your name again.

You know, the city or the state. 77:05 We all know that. 77:05 There's a lot of room to grow for taxation. 77:08 And there has been since the time we worked there. There has been growth in taxes. I mean, it was bad then. What, 10, 15 years ago? 77:16 Yeah, it was 12%. So that added to your federal burden and pushed our taxes over 50%. And that's not counting the taxes you paid on stuff in the city that you were buying or paying for. 77:31 Everybody gets a cut, Pat. Everybody gets a cut. Zoran Mamdani had this genius idea to tax people who have a second home, a summer home, whatever they use it for. It's not their main residence. He's doxing them. He already doxed people, and they weren't especially happy about that. No, they were not. That might have cost him a $6 billion project in New York by Ken Griffin. 77:54 And there's homeowners that have filed a lawsuit now against that. 77:59 Against paying the tax on their not-permanent home. Correct. And so that was just stayed by a judge, though, right? 78:06 Yes, it was. A Staten Island judge, Wayne Ozzy, said, you know what? We're going to put a pause on that bad boy tax, on your whatever. It's the Pierre Deterre tax. 78:19 You nailed it. Thank you. You nailed it. That's exactly what the Pierre Deterre tax is. Said it forever. Yeah. I know that language. 78:26 So good. 78:29 He put it on hold and said, it was a temporary restraining order. You can just calm down on that until this lawsuit proceeds. 78:36 So, I mean, that's good news, right? It is. Yeah. It is, right? I mean, it still might go wrong for those people. Down the road, another judge might say, no, it needs to proceed. Yeah. Or Mondami is the guy that says, I don't care what the Staten Island judge says. I'm doing it. 78:57 What keeps you in New York City if you're wealthy? 79:01 I mean, I... 79:03 I would have packed my bags and left the second he was elected as mayor because he's doing everything he can to screw the wealthy people who do live there and pay a massive tax base. But of course, that's never enough. 79:18 No, it's never enough. And the people who are working and trying to survive and do what they have to do, they either A, don't see that or they agree, yeah, the rich people need to pay more. I'm out here sweating my butt off, trying to make a living and barely getting by. And every time I turn around, I'm getting charged more money. And yeah, the rich can pay a little bit more. Yep. 79:41 I mean, they don't necessarily see that, you know, when the rich leave. 79:49 We're going to be stuck with the bill. The bill's still going to be there. 79:53 Right. 79:54 And those grocery stores with 30% off five items a week. Is it a week or a month? 80:03 Honestly, I don't know. I'm asking. Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. There's five items. Right, the core items. So it's either five a week or a month that are a full 30% off. Right. Now, everything else in the store is going to be the same as you'd pay at Walmart. Or more. Or whatever. Yeah, or more. Or more. And they're going to run out of those things really quickly. 80:24 No, because those are just going to be four New Yorkers. 80:27 Right. In the borough. Although, they can't ask you to show an ID because... 80:32 Almost nobody has IDs. 80:33 That's a good point. Yeah. If you're a woman, there's no way you can get one. 80:38 It just can't happen. If you're a minority, you're just too dumb to find where you go to the DMV. They don't know. Joe Biden, is that you? Yeah. Democratic Party, is that you? 80:52 I don't know how women and minorities are not incredibly insulted by the we can't get ID thing. 81:01 I guess everything's supposed to be just handed to you. Like, you should be handed an ID when you get married so that you don't have to bother with anything at all. And you're not inconvenienced. 81:11 You don't have to be inconvenienced, right? 81:13 You have to go out of your way a little bit to get it changed. Yeah. And we can't have that. No, no. At all. Nobody can be inconvenienced in America. It's completely un-American. I kind of agree with that, actually. 81:29 All right, coming up, we've got to talk about this flock camera issue because it is sweeping the country now. Yes, it is. The intrusion that are these cameras that do photograph your license plate and run you through an algorithm. They do a lot more, man. A lot more. 81:48 They do a lot more. We did that story on Packer Unleashed, I don't know, a couple months ago about how many cities – Municipalities are using flock. I think we started their downfall. I think we did because a couple months ago we did this story on them, how fast they were growing, how many cities they were in, and then things started to fall apart. 82:11 People took notice. 82:13 Yeah, there's 120,000 plus of these cameras spread all over the country. It's an issue. We'll get into that and more coming up. 82:36 Hello America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.

Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. 83:07 This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. 84:02 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. 84:13 Glenn Beck is on. 84:16 Pat Gregg, Jeff Fisher in for Glenn today and all week. 888-727-BECK. I want to get into these flock cameras. Man, they are amazing. 84:27 everywhere seemingly seemingly yes there's probably five or six in this studio right now you see cameras all over the place everywhere one of them has to be a flock absolutely without question one of them is a flock we'll get into that and a lot more in one minute one of the easiest mistakes to make when you're buying a house is assuming you're only buying a house the truth is you're not You're also buying the neighborhood. You're buying the commute. You're buying the school district. 84:59 You're buying the neighbors you haven't met yet. And you're buying every little surprise that comes with all of it. That's why having the right real estate agent matters so much. A good agent doesn't just unlock the front door and tell you how nice the kitchen is. They know the local market. They know what to look for, what questions to ask, and what potential problems deserve a closer look before you sign anything. That's why Glenn started Real Estate Agents I Trust. It's a network of experienced agents who have earned their reputations by helping people navigate one of the biggest financial decisions they'll ever make. 85:35 They've also earned their reputations by working hard and closing great deals for the people who use them. Look, you're not just buying four walls and a roof. You're choosing the place where a big part of your life is going to happen. 85:52 That's why you need to go to realestateagentsitrust.com. That's realestateagentsitrust.com. 86:01 Okay, Flock cameras. If you don't know what they are, they've been going up all over the country in intersections and elsewhere, and they read your license plate and cooperate with law enforcement to... 86:20 find people of interest. Absolutely. Or not. But the problem is it's a dragnet that encompasses everybody. 86:27 Cities and municipalities are making, had made deals with Flock and they put them up and you see them go up all over your city if your municipality has a deal with them. 86:39 And you go to their website. I think the last check was, I think they were in 5,000 different municipalities around America. That's a number of cameras that are watching you. But according to Flock, they have located 10,000-plus people in 2025. 86:58 That were wanted by the law? They have located. They located 10,000? Missing people located, yes. Okay. The cases that they've supported, over a million. 87:13 So they're doing good things. Yeah, so shut up. According to this, I'm sorry, I said 5,000. I apologize. 12,000 communities trust flock nationwide. All right. So we should too, right? We absolutely should. If 12,000 communities trust flock, then we should too. I will say the city I technically live in, Fort Worth, Texas, they do. Yeah, they have flock. They've got new vehicles that they've been out testing. 87:43 They're there for my safety. 87:45 We have a clip that talks a little bit about this. Clip 26. 87:48 It goes a little something like this. 87:55 Or perhaps it doesn't. Okay. Perhaps we don't have the flock camera issue. 88:03 Okay, there's... 88:06 There are so many of them, and they are so ubiquitous that it's going to be a really tough situation to get our hands around, our heads and our hands. And there's a lot of people that say, well, I'm not doing anything wrong. 88:21 Why do I care that they're getting my license? 88:24 Because you're not the one who decides if you're doing something wrong or not. I mean, we won't always have benevolence in government. Who knows at what point, you know, that stops and becomes something else. Right. 88:38 One of the videos that we don't have showed police doing a quick dragnet and pulling over an automobile that was told, they were told through the Flock system that this was a wanted person in the vehicle. And they pulled them over and got them out of the car. And then Flock said... Never mind. 89:01 That's the wrong person. That's the wrong person. 89:04 And so they had the drag net out for this guy in his car, and then it was, never mind, let him go. 89:12 And they got him in the first place because of Flock? That's correct. 89:15 So the information was wrong. Now, you know, you make the case that, you know, in the end they, uh, you know, they figured it out, but you still had to go through it all. Yeah. 89:25 Uh, you know, so they've, uh, I forget what the numbers were on, uh, um, wrong license plate reading from the readers. 89:38 So they would, they would, uh, the numbers that they would translate from the camera were wrong. So when you typed it into the computer or it came up like that guy, you know, then that's completely wrong. Well, I mean, it's going to happen. 89:55 There's 125,000 or something of these things all over the place. There's going to be some things that some unintended consequences. A Texas officer used Phlox cameras to track a woman across state lines at one point. Now, here's the thing. She was suspected of administering an abortion in another state. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Yeah. 90:22 What? For real? That's what they say, that this officer tractor, because of that, seems hard to believe. 90:30 Back to blue. Right. Back to blue, 100%. But are we wasting time and money following a lady that could possibly have assisted in an abortion? 90:42 Well, no, she was going to have an abortion. I guess she was driving somewhere to get that abortion. 90:47 Holy cow. 90:48 That was tracked down because of flock. 90:50 This is why people, we need to have an abortion anywhere you can get it. Drive through anywhere. That's why. Right. 90:57 Officers across the country also have abused their access to Flox cameras, including to track romantic partners, resulting in discipline and termination in some cases. Los Angeles and Dayton, Ohio, among other cities, recently suspended their contracts with Flox to prevent immigration authorities from accessing data from the cameras. There you go. 91:19 Dayton resorted to covering the cameras with trash bags. Yeah, that's happening a lot. And people are actually tearing some down, but others are covering them up or spray painting them. Actually cutting the pole that holds the camera and chopping it down. Spray painting it over the cameras, that kind of thing. 91:39 And there was one guy that was holding up a sign at the camera every day that they were a little upset about. Tough. 91:46 Get over it. But I will say now, you know, and you're going to go down the list of some more things that they were out helping society with. But, you know, cities are saying, OK, well, we'll get rid of flock. You know what? You're right. They've been those bastards. You know, they've read a license plate wrong. 92:05 Well, it's a lot like the red light cameras that we used to have in Texas. But Texas got rid of the red light cameras, which blew me away. But that's what Texas is supposed to be about, right? Freedom. 92:18 They got rid of it right after I got my ticket and paid for it. That's right. What was that, $75? I don't remember. I think it was over $100, to be honest. 92:27 Because it seems like with the red light cameras, they made the ticket enough to help the city a little bit, but low enough to where you don't fight it because it's not worth it. 92:39 Well, here's the thing. At my house, it was actually, they sent the letter and they sent the picture. So it was my wife's car that I was driving at the time. So she got the... 92:52 The ticket and the picture. Okay. She was happy about that. I'll bet she was. She was happy about that. I did not run that road. I was on caution. There's a picture right here. Shows that you're not exactly telling the truth. You probably had an opportunity to stop. 93:07 Yeah. So a lot of municipalities argue that these are public roads and you have no assumed right to privacy. Right. 93:19 On the other side of that equation... 93:21 We are saying, no, we do have rights and we shouldn't give them up for our safety or even for crime fighting. You shouldn't be surveilled everywhere you go just because the city can. 93:39 There's got to be some reason to be surveilling you. 93:43 Yes, there has to be some reason. 93:44 Just cause. 93:46 There has to be just cause, but the argument is, well, okay, there's just cause, but we want to be able to make sure that there's just cause by surveilling you. 93:58 Yeah. 94:01 But I love the fact that there are plenty of cities now that, you know what, you are right. Those darn flock cameras, we're getting rid of them. And then there's two companies that are just coming in and taking over for them, and it's the same thing. 94:14 Yeah, doing the same exactly. It's just a different company. 94:16 We're just making a new contract with a different company. We're tearing down those damn Flock cameras, man. Flock, we hate Flock. Yeah, go ahead. There's Axon and Ox Blue that are coming in, I think. Well, it's not Flock, so that's what you want. Gone, right? It is. 94:36 So leave us alone. 94:37 Shut up. 94:40 Going to be interesting to see because the proliferation, I think it's much more likely that the surveillance is going to increase before it decreases. 94:49 Absolutely. I mean, you're lucky if there's any dead zones where you live, right? Definitely. There's a website out there, and I don't recall what it's called, but it shows you how to drive to places and avoid flock cameras. I think it's called deflock, right? Is that deflock? It could be. Honestly, I don't remember. F-L-O-C-K. If you care enough to figure out how to drive and beat flock cameras, you'll find the website. 95:18 Yeah. 95:19 The funny thing is, though, is that all those other places that you drive are still surveilled. 95:25 by porch cams and dash cams and city cams. They're just not flock cameras. And that's why we tend to say, eh. I know. Whatever. Already there. I'm already. If you're out in public... 95:45 You really don't have the right to any kind of privacy out in public. I mean, you may have the right, but you've given it up because you're being surveilled everywhere. And we did that a long time ago. 95:53 Yes, we did. With toll roads. I mean, the tolls check you when you come through. And so you're noted there. We know you're there. We've seen you. We've got all your information. 96:04 And that was the first big fight. We don't want the toll loads to know where we're at. right oh that's we're long past that so any surveillance method that they've added since well you already have toll roads yeah you already have that we already know where you are already know so i know and every place you go right i mean pretty much every place you go has cameras uh some uh you know not as good as the flock or not as good as the axon but you're being surveilled and uh you know Is it for the best? 96:37 I don't know. I mean, we still see... I'm going to say no. I would say my timeline is still filled with a lot of crime caught on those cameras. So I don't know that it is a deterrent. Maybe it is. 96:51 It's just amazing how quickly this has happened, though. Flock... became a bellwether for both law enforcement and for other agencies. They started selling their services to police departments in early 2020, installing just a few dozen cameras in a suburb of Houston. 97:13 Six years later, 700 departments in Texas alone have a contract. 97:18 It's exploded. And they have vehicles that they give to the department. 97:23 Gosh darn it, it's nice of them. It's nice of them. 97:25 That the department can use. They're really helpful. That the department can use to fight crime that has a drone attached that the officer who's driving the vehicle can man the drone and go after criminals. Darn it. Instead of chasing them, running through the city, making fast drives, possibly having an accident with a civilian. No, they could just follow it with a drone. So you're safer. 97:52 You're safer because of it. It's going to help you. It's like, you know, it reminds me of Digital Angel. They were going to implant a tracker in your wrist. Yeah. And the big thing was safety. Hey, look, if you implant this in your child and they're ever kidnapped, we'll be able to locate them from the GPS in their wrist. You already do it for your dog. 98:13 It's for their safety. 98:14 What's your problem? 98:16 Yeah, we got some decisions to make. That's for sure. There are times, I will say, that I'm just saying, go ahead and just chip me. I know. I know. Go ahead. 98:25 Just makes it easier to just say, okay, whatever. 98:28 I don't want to have to pull out a card. I don't want to have to do this. Just put a chip in me and we're done. 98:34 We already have toll road surveillance. Why not? 888-727-BECK.

I like the quote in the flock story from this woman who... 99:59 She makes some interesting points. You know, she says, I'm not a criminal, but I don't want necessarily anybody logging my whereabouts all the time. Like, you know, where I'm dropping off my kids or where I go shopping. She doesn't want, I don't want you to know if I prefer HEB or Kroger. It's none of your business. 100:26 Yeah, that sounds good, but when you shop at HEB, do you use your bank card so we know that you shop there? When you get gas at the gas station that's a mile away from your kid's school, do you use your bank card there so they know where you're at? Or when you get cash out of the bank to give to the church that's right down the road, I'm sure no one knows. No one is aware of that, of what's going on. Right. So don't even worry about it. 100:50 So again, yes, let's just make it worse. 100:53 Let's make it worse. 100:56 And I agree. I want them all to go away. But they're not going to. You're not. 101:02 They're just not going to. 101:03 Let's go to Phillip in Texas. Hey, Phillip. Welcome. 101:07 Good morning, guys. How are we all? Doing good. 101:10 good listen i'm down here in the great state of texas and i'm an investigator and personal protection officer in texas under the texas department of public safety okay uh and uh private security board so i've been doing it for about 41 years and i will tell you there's been some changes oh man has there been some changes but i just want to tell you both this Flock has its flaws. I'm not gonna say it doesn't. But I will tell you, I was not a big proponent of Flock until about, I'd say about eight weeks ago. 101:47 When Flock actually saved the life of an eight day old baby that was kidnapped from a hospital in Lubbock, Texas and brought all the way down to the coast. And this guy was psychotic and I'm sure he was gonna kill him. We used Flock on the civil side. to find that child as well as law enforcement. We did a group thing. Everybody got together and we found this child. Well, as well. And so what I'm trying to tell you guys is, yeah, there are some flaws, but let me tell you something. 102:25 I can give you another example. Three nights ago, two cars were stolen, involved in robberies around the Houston area. They were able to get them in 20 minutes. Wow. 20 minutes. Yeah. These guys off the street because of flock. Now, is it abused sometimes by some crazy people on law enforcement or some crazy people in civil personal protection? Yes, it has happened. But we have now. Been through flock and their attorneys. 102:55 We have been put under strict guidelines a secure room secure computers secure IP addresses Secure everything now. We don't just drive around in a in a car and look for stuff equally one other argument for you and then you can blast me away Other argument is I hate to tell you both but we're busy people and We don't have time to sit in a room and chase girlfriends or sit in a room and chase neighbors. 103:26 We don't have time. 103:27 We're short-handed, guys. 103:30 We are so short-handed right now. You hear it all the time. They're not lying. We are. So I guess that's just the points I wanted to make. 103:38 No, good points, Phillip. Appreciate it. Very good points. Really something to think about. And, you know, the left will say, or people who are opposed to Flock, will say, or who are in favor of Flock, opposed to maybe our viewpoint, if it saves one life, isn't it worth it? And it just did, obviously. It saved probably many lives so far. 104:01 Yeah, absolutely. 104:03 Look, how many lives did getting those robbers in 20 minutes save? I mean, they might have robbed... 100 places until they got caught. That's a great story. 104:15 It saved a baby who had been kidnapped by some psycho and you were able to track him down before anything bad happened to the baby. That's amazing. That's hard to argue against, but how much of your freedom do you give up for your safety? I guess that's the trade-off. 104:33 That is the trade-off. 104:35 If you say something bad, you want the baby to die. Right. Right, and of course... No, I don't. I don't want the baby to die. 104:42 No, we don't. But on the other hand... 104:46 But it's tough. 104:47 And they don't have time. 104:49 Okay. Okay, yeah. 104:52 The officers don't have time to commit crimes. They're too busy. 104:56 Okay. 888-727-PEC. More coming up. 105:11 In the U.S., there is a break-in every 26 seconds.

In response to the Iran songs that they have done, you know, the rap and the Lego characters. Yes. 106:58 And the mocking of President Trump in America. The first one was pretty good. 107:03 that they created. I mean, it's Ibleed. 107:06 Yes, it's Ibleed agonizing. 107:07 Insanity, agonizing, but it was done well. 107:11 And it bashes Trump and all the entire. Yes, terribly. Yeah. And the others have kind of gone downhill from them, so I'm kind of happy about that. 107:21 But this response from Furion Energy is tremendous. 107:26 This song from Furion is awesome. 107:28 Check this out. 107:36 Wow. 107:42 That's awesome. Really well done. That's awesome. Thank you to Fury and Energy for producing that. Nice response to those Iranian songs. Just so agonizing to have that coming at us day after day with their propaganda. 107:58 Yeah, we can fight back, too. A little response. Both ways. Yes. 108:01 Anyway. Plus, we mentioned Zoran Mandami a little earlier in the program. I want to congratulate him. The Florida Chamber of Commerce unveiled a digital billboard at Broadway and West 43rd Street in New York today, congratulating Zoran Mandami as the Economic Developer of the Year. 108:22 In Florida. 108:23 So congratulations. That's great. Congratulations to Zora. Because you've sent so many people from New York to Florida. 108:31 Absolutely. That's fantastic. 108:35 I'm sure he's happy to see that billboard. Yeah, I'm sure he is. And again, like you said, congratulations. 108:40 Congratulations. You want to give credit where credit is due. 108:42 Seriously, congratulations. Right, right. I had no idea. I used to live in Florida. It's my favorite. It's my second home state. I love Florida. 108:50 Great place. If you love humidity. 108:53 It's really great. 108:55 Uh, voters are heading to the polls today in several States, Wisconsin. Uh, they've got that big gubernatorial race with, uh, is it Francesca Wong? Oh yeah. Absolute nightmare. Oh my gosh. So Wisconsin, Minnesota, Vermont, Connecticut, and Alabama all have primaries today. It's so important that conservatives get out to vote. So if you're in one of those States, please vote in your primary today. Uh, A guy who's not in a primary, but he'll be in the general election against Mike Rogers. 109:31 And that's Abdul Rahman El-Sayed, who has an ad out. 109:41 Is this the dance thing that he's doing without the music? 109:44 Well, there's a couple of dance things. The one with the cowboy hat and the one with Whitney Houston playing in the background at his campaign office. And then he did an endorsement of Ilhan Omar because they all love each other. They endorse each other back and forth. But the Ilhan Omar endorsement is done in the same room that they danced to with his cowboy hat dance. 110:07 So there's a lot of noise going on. I don't even know if you can understand what he's saying. 110:13 My estimation, it's kind of a dumb way to do an ad. And he's endorsing Ilhan Omar here. 110:19 Number one, she's a trailblazer. I don't even tell you all that. You all have been seeing her work. 110:24 Yeah, okay. 110:24 When we talk about trade. 110:26 Too convoluted, but here's a stunning surprise. El-Sayed actually endorses Ilhan Omar. 110:35 So the extreme radical Muslim socialist endorses another extreme radical Muslim socialist. Huh. You saw that coming. Huh. 110:47 Who saw that coming? 110:49 I know. Weird. 110:50 Nobody. 110:51 Weird. Now, there's no sense. It makes no sense playing the videos. No, because you can't do the sound. Right. There's no audio. There's no music. But he's following the blueprint of Zoran Mondavi. 111:04 Absolutely. In New York. 100%. Dancing and being nice on TikTok and getting the TikTokers to vote for him. 111:12 Yeah. Yeah. 111:13 Yeah. 111:14 And, you know, will it work? I mean, I hope not. I hope not. Me too. 111:20 You know, for sure, that's what, you know, that's a blueprint that they're hoping works. Because if it works for Zoran in New York and works for El Saeed, Dr., Dr., Abdul Rahman. Abdul Rahman. El Saeed. El Saeed in Michigan. Then that's going to be a blueprint across the country. A doctor, by the way, who's not a doctor. 111:42 He's not a licensed physician. He's not a licensed physician. He's never treated parents or patients. 111:49 Either one. Parents or patients. 111:51 He hasn't treated anybody. 111:54 But he likes to make a big deal out of the fact that he's a doctor. 111:57 He does. And we broke down the other day all the things that he's done since he... graduated from the university of michigan and went off to other schools as mr smart guy road scholar and then he went to work for a couple of places in michigan that he ran into the ground so he's really not done much in the real world i mean yes he's accomplished a lot educationally yeah but in the real world none of his uh none of his education has paid off 112:25 I mean, he went to Michigan, which is a good school. He went to Oxford. He went to Columbia. Pretty good schools. Which are all considered fairly good schools. 112:33 Doesn't mean we want the guy as a U.S. Senator. No, we do not. However... 112:36 No, we do not. I mean, that's all Bill Clinton's fault. 112:39 Really? I think we played that yesterday, right? 112:42 Probably. 112:42 His endorsement of the guy. Told him at the, he was at the ceremony, the graduation ceremony at Michigan. And he's apparently the one. 112:52 He spoke right after El Saeed. 112:53 That started this whole process of El Saeed running. 112:56 And a public servant. Yeah, we did. Yeah, we did. Wow. Wow. 113:03 Thanks, Bill. 113:05 Yesterday, the Tucker Carlson-Hunter Biden interview was dropped. You said it was going to be three hours. I don't know why you lied to us. It was only two. It was only a two-hour interview, and what... Why you would ever just sit there and lie to our faces? Two hours and nine minutes, to be fair. 113:25 Two hours and nine minutes. But it's still not three. But it's not. Not the three that I said. I know. I apologize. 113:31 So it was only two hours and nine minutes of Tucker trying to rehabilitate Hunter Biden. I'm an hour in. 113:37 I don't understand it. I'm an hour in, and it's kind of agonizing, actually. What is going on here? I don't know. 113:44 With these people supposedly on the right who are rehabilitating this guy. 113:49 Yep. Candace did it. Tucker Carlson's doing it. Yep. They all love each other now. Yeah, I guess so. And Hunter loves him back, right? And why not? Yes. 114:00 You know, they've helped him a lot. Yes, they have. And yeah, Hunter said that he likes all the people that are going to be part of Tucker's new political party. Yeah. 114:11 Yeah. 114:12 So, I mean, yeah, they all get along. It's great. And apparently they knew each other a long time ago because they both were part of the swamp. 114:21 Tucker's dad working in D.C. and Joe was in D.C. forever. 114:23 Yeah, worked for the CIA, I believe, right? 114:25 And so they were all, I don't know that they were playing with each other friends, but they all knew each other. They were all part of the swamp children. But he did say, he gave an update the other day, and he may talk about it. He talked a little bit about it on the Tucker. I don't know that he mentioned the cancer, former President Joe Biden's cancer, yet in the Tucker interview. 114:50 that I've been watching, but he did talk about what a great-grandfather Joe is and how proud he is. 114:57 Let's hear that clip. 114:59 That's clip 22. Well, cut 22 is him talking about apparently former President Biden's cancer has gotten worse, and so things are not looking good. This is not part of the Tucker interview, though. This is on another network, and I forget which one. Probably MSNOW. 115:21 The only thing that I say about my dad about his health right now is I wish he would complain more. Because it's not good. The cancer has spread, has metastasized into his bones and further. It's very painful. 115:36 And it's very debilitating in many respects. But he's still out there. He's still doing his thing that he so believes in this country. 115:46 Does he? My dad in our family. Oh my gosh. 115:51 Excuse me. 115:53 Oh, what'd you do for it? 115:57 My dad is the center of our family, not just because of who he is as the public person, but completely because of who he is to each one of us. 116:12 Down to his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. 116:16 Pause it for a sec. Does that include the grandchild in Arkansas? No, it does not. 116:21 No. Oh, okay. No, we don't recognize. We don't recognize. Was Navy? We don't talk about Navy. Navy? Yeah, Navy. Yeah. All right. 116:27 He had more. He is our rock. 116:32 Whatever we think about his politics or the decisions that he made, I can tell you that he's the best father, the best husband, the best grandfather. That's good. Of anyone that I've ever read about, heard about, or even seen in a movie. 116:46 Wow. Okay. 116:48 I like that he loves his dad. That's a nice thing. It's nice, right? 116:54 Wow. Hunter is converting you already. I don't wish ill on Joe Biden at all. As much as I can't stand the man, I don't want to see him suffer and die. 117:06 We're not like the left where we take glee in the pain of others or the suffering of others. 117:10 No doubt about that. Absolutely. I don't wish that on anyone. 117:14 That his cancer is spread, that is not good news. 117:16 That's very bad news. It does mean that his cancer moonshot didn't work. It does mean that. Yeah, because he told us multiple times. 117:24 It wasn't just a one-off thing either. That's correct. He said it multiple times. Yes, he did. 117:31 It's too bad it didn't really happen. That would have been nice. That would have been fantastic. For a lot of us. Yes. But, yeah, the effort to make this guy a sympathetic character now. 117:43 And it is working. Despicable. It is working. 117:46 More coming up. 117:49 Promoting self-reliance over government dependence. Glenn Beck will be back right after this. 118:06 Though the headlines might change, the threats facing Israel remain. While much of the world has moved on to the next story, Israeli families continue living with the reality of terrorism and uncertainty and recovery. Communities remain on alert. Parents still think twice before sending their children to school. Families continue rebuilding their lives, knowing the next siren could come without warning. As Christians, we're called to stand with God's children in times of need. And that's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews remains on the ground in the Holy Land each and every day, providing life-saving aid, food for struggling families, emergency assistance, bomb shelters, and critical support for those impacted by war. 118:43 Even after the cameras leave and the headlines fade, the Fellowship remains committed to Israel's most vulnerable. Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in praying for the people of Israel for protection and strength and for lasting peace. Together, we can remind God's people that they are not alone. Stand with Israel in prayer today. Visit PrayIFCJ.org. That's PrayIFCJ.org. 119:16 This is interesting. 119:18 The Ukrainian military said it hit an oil refinery in Nizhnykamsk, Which is about, as you know, 750 miles east of the Ukrainian border. They hit pretty deep within Russia. Has a population of about 240,000 people. Well, they have been. They have been hitting places inside Russia now. But Nizhnykamsk, I think, is one of the furthest reaches that they've gotten to. 119:45 I hope they didn't get too far into Nizhnykamsk because they've got a nice summer home there. Really? I love it, and I haven't checked the satellite images yet to see if my home is still intact. Too scared? But, yeah, I'm a little nervous about it. 119:59 Yeah, I don't blame you. They did kill 13 people, injured 78 others. 120:05 I mean, they're bringing this thing home. 120:07 Yes, they are. To Russia. Yes, they are. 120:10 The bad lines are set, man. I watched the latest episode of Lioness on Paramount+. Oh, yeah. Is that good? Absolutely. I see it all the time. Episode one of season three. 120:23 Awesome. One of the best episodes ever. But they go into Ukraine. 120:28 And they cross into Russia in these tunnels. And they have swarms of drones. I mean, it shows what the battle lines are. I'm glad I don't have to be there. 120:38 Yeah, I'm glad I don't have to be there. Wow. Very true to life, yes. Yeah, it's nice to be separated by two oceans. The Atlantic and the Pacific between us and these... 120:49 Not jobs over there. It's nice. I like that idea. 120:52 We're blessed. Yeah, we are. To live in America. Even if Canada is a territory now. I mean, they're just territories. It's fine. 121:02 All right. We will see you back here bright and early tomorrow. See you then. 121:32 Thank you.
