1:37
All right, we begin in just a
1:39
moment. The
2:31
fusion of entertainment
2:34
and enlightenment. This
2:36
is the
2:38
Glenbeck Program. Hello,
2:41
America. We take on the courts
2:43
in 60 seconds. First, here you are.
2:46
You are here, and that alone
2:48
is a true miracle. In Solves,
2:50
it tells us that God knit
2:52
us together while we were in our
2:54
mother's womb. He saw you before
2:56
you took your first breath, before the
2:58
world knew your name, he knew
3:00
your purpose. You may have
3:02
planned, you may have been planned by
3:04
your mom and your dad, or
3:06
not, I don't know. But you
3:08
were never an accident, that's for
3:10
sure, because life is never an
3:12
accident. The Ministry of Preborn believes
3:14
that every life born and unborn
3:16
is sacred, made in the image
3:18
of God, filled with beauty and
3:21
the eternal. Right now, there are
3:23
children whose hearts beat in the
3:25
darkness, and their moms are still
3:27
trying to decide, is that a
3:29
baby or not? Their lives are
3:31
in the balance. Last year alone,
3:33
pre -born, the network clinics helped
3:35
rescue over 67 ,000 babies from abortion,
3:37
often through a single, life -changing
3:39
ultrasound. $28 sponsors that
3:41
moment. $28. Would you consider
3:43
a leadership gift today? $28
3:45
or a leadership gift, your
3:47

4:17
everything is just they exploded in
4:19
my throat yesterday And so
4:21
I'm not sure how long my
4:23
voice will last and I have to
4:25
save it because I'm meeting with
4:27
the president a Little later on this
4:29
afternoon. I'm gonna spend a couple
4:31
of hours with him and that show
4:33
will broadcast tonight at 9 p .m.
4:35
On Blaze, so Just stick with
4:37
me. All right, let me let's start
4:39
here with the POTUS I mean
4:42
with the SCOTUS The battle
4:44
for the kid, the soul of
4:46
our children, began yesterday in the
4:48
Supreme Court. The case involves
4:50
a group of parents suing the
4:52
largest school district in Maryland for
4:54
their right to withdraw their children
4:56
from classes on days that books
4:58
with gay and transgender characters themes
5:00
are discussed. The parents
5:02
are suing on religious freedom grounds. In
5:06
2022, Montgomery County
5:08
Public Schools added LGBTQ -themed
5:10
books to their curriculum for
5:12
students from pre -K through
5:14
the fifth grade. The
5:16
books include things like Pride Puppy,
5:18
an alphabet book about a family
5:20
whose puppy gets lost at a
5:22
Pride parade, Love and
5:24
Violet, about a girl who has a
5:27
crush on her female classmate. These
5:29
are pre -K to fifth grade, and
5:31
Born Ready, about a transgender
5:33
boy. Again, these
5:35
books added to pre -K to
5:38
fifth grade. This new curriculum
5:40
is DEI for elementary children.
5:43
Now, at first, the Maryland School
5:45
District allowed or alerted parents when the
5:47
storybooks were going to be used in
5:49
class and allowed them to have their
5:51
children excused from the sessions. But
5:53
the district has sent stop.
5:56
giving both advanced notice and an
5:58
opt -out policy saying it's too
6:00
hard to administer. I mean,
6:02
geez, it's really, really. And
6:04
it leads to lots of absences
6:06
and stigmatizes some kids. I
6:09
want you to know this
6:11
case is not about a few
6:13
storybooks, a few colorful, you
6:15
know, pictures of little puppies getting
6:18
lost. It's about whether you,
6:20
as a parent, still have a
6:22
God -given right to raise your
6:24
children. according to your faith
6:26
and your values and your common
6:28
sense. Do you have the
6:31
right? Because if the
6:33
Supreme Court says no, you
6:35
don't have that right anymore. If
6:37
the First Amendment Free
6:40
Exercise Clause doesn't protect this,
6:43
your right as a parent, then
6:46
what are all our rights even
6:48
for? If we don't have a
6:50
right as a parent to parent
6:52
our children, None of the
6:54
rights really even matter. Now
6:56
the parents who are suing insisted these
6:58
books, quote, promote one -sided
7:01
transgender ideology, encourage
7:03
gender transitioning, and focus
7:05
excessively on romantic
7:07
infatuation. By the way,
7:09
the parents are not seeking to
7:11
remove the books from classrooms or
7:13
the children's libraries. They just
7:16
don't want their children to have to sit
7:18
through these indoctrination sessions. Oh, that's not
7:20
good enough. You will
7:22
comply. That's what
7:24
it's all about. They're
7:28
not trying to erase anyone's
7:31
story. They just
7:33
want to not comply. They
7:36
want to shield their children
7:38
from ideas that contradict their
7:40
faith. What is the
7:43
First Amendment really all about?
7:45
Sounds reasonable. Sounds like basic parenting
7:47
101. First amendment
7:49
is clear. You cannot burden someone's
7:51
free exercise of religion, forcing
7:53
kids to engage with ideas that
7:55
violate their family's deeply held
7:57
beliefs. That is clearly, clearly
8:00
a burden. Religious
8:02
liberty is in the first
8:04
amendment. It is not a
8:06
second class right. It is
8:09
a first class right. Besides,
8:12
this is basic common sense, or
8:14
at least used to be. Parents
8:16
have the right to guide their
8:18
kids on any sensitive topic, like sex,
8:21
sexuality, or yes,
8:23
even gender. It's not the
8:25
school's job. It's
8:27
your job, period. Now
8:29
this should be a slam dunk for the parents,
8:31
but I don't even know. I mean,
8:33
if the Supreme Court doesn't see that, parents
8:35
won't just be losing this case. We'll
8:38
be losing even more
8:40
freedom to raise our own
8:42
kids. This one is
8:44
a very, very... deep red
8:46
crimson line in the
8:48
sand that the Supreme Court
8:50
cannot cross. But
8:52
we'll see. Apparently yesterday, did you hear
8:55
any of the arguments, Stu? Yeah,
8:57
I read about them. It
8:59
definitely seemed like the conservative
9:01
justices were a bit
9:03
skeptical of the idea that
9:05
you get to force
9:07
parents to keep their kids
9:09
in these classes, even
9:12
if they oppose it. when
9:14
you're reading these books. But,
9:16
you know, of course, you never know. We've seen
9:18
crazy things happen in the Supreme Court
9:20
before. What's fascinating to
9:22
me is, and what's the motivation here, Glenn,
9:25
you tell me, if you're
9:27
going to have one of these
9:29
situations where you have these books and
9:31
as you point out, they are
9:33
not like Okay, there happens to be
9:35
a gay character in a book
9:37
about something else. Like it is like
9:39
straight out like books about why
9:41
you should think these lifestyles and choices
9:44
are okay, right? Like it is
9:46
straight out what they're doing to pre
9:48
-k to fifth graders. So really, really
9:50
young. This is not like, you
9:52
know, some of these situations they like to push
9:54
out there like, oh, you don't want high schoolers to
9:56
read these books. It's not even what they're talking
9:58
about. And What
10:01
could be the motivation of
10:03
not allowing parents to opt
10:05
their kids out here? They
10:07
did offer that, as you
10:09
noted, they did offer that
10:11
the first year that these
10:13
a hassle. It's a hassle.
10:15
I love that. There's no
10:17
innocuous explanation for this. Right.
10:20
It's just we want your
10:22
kids to believe these things.
10:24
Therefore, we will force them
10:26
to stay in class. What
10:28
do you mean? It's hard to administer. There's
10:31
all sorts of things that would allow, that
10:33
you'd allow kids to leave class for.
10:36
It's not hard to administer a
10:38
kid walking out and doing something
10:40
else, learning something different. What's
10:43
the motivation? What's the innocuous tale
10:45
here, Glenn? There is none. There is
10:47
none. You go back to the
10:50
Bible. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah and, you
10:52
know, the angels come into town.
10:54
They're looking just for one person. Just
10:56
what can we find one person? And
10:59
they go in
11:02
and they find one.
11:05
They find one and he sees the angels
11:07
and he's like, come on, come on, get
11:09
in the house, get in the house. And
11:11
he gets them into the house and, you
11:13
know, like you're not safe out there. And
11:15
then they start beating on the door.
11:17
hey let us in we saw these
11:20
two guys we saw these two guys
11:22
uh and uh you need to you
11:24
need to bring them out here the
11:26
answer was no no no i tell
11:28
you i'll give you my daughter just
11:30
not these guys now i found that
11:32
a little you know that's when the
11:34
angels should have went you know i
11:36
don't know if we found the right
11:38
guy here but it was a different
11:40
time we'll give you our daughter first
11:42
give you our daughter just leave them
11:44
alone no no You
11:47
had to comply. If
11:49
you were coming in
11:51
to the city, you
11:53
must comply. They wanted
11:55
to sodomize the angels. No,
11:58
thank you. No, I'm, you know,
12:00
I'm all sodomy. I'm all I'm doctor
12:02
says I'm getting too much sodomy. So
12:05
that is what's happening again. This
12:07
this even if you don't believe in
12:10
angels or you don't believe in
12:12
the story of the Bible, this is
12:14
a very good parable. I am
12:16
going to believe it, but it's a
12:18
very good parable on what was
12:20
going on. Let's just look
12:22
at the Bible and just saying, what was the
12:25
general thing? You could describe it any way you
12:27
want, but what was generally going on? The
12:29
city had been taken over
12:31
by just absolute degenerates and
12:33
sodomy had become such a
12:35
big deal. You know, they
12:37
actually taught my daughter in
12:39
a Catholic school at Fordham
12:41
University. They taught my daughter
12:43
that the sodomy Sodomy
12:46
Dad was just their way of
12:48
greeting people. You
12:50
had a Catholic school teach you that?
12:52
That Sodomy wasn't bad. It was just
12:54
the way they greeted people. Hey, drop
12:57
your pants. I want to greet you. That's
12:59
ridiculous. Absolutely
13:02
ridiculous. But
13:04
that's just the way it was. Well,
13:06
you know what? I don't want to live in a city where they
13:08
drop their pants to greet you. I just
13:10
don't. I think that's probably
13:13
wrong. Speak for yourself. You know
13:15
even if that was even
13:17
lots of people you have to
13:19
understand you can't opt out
13:21
of it You need to make
13:23
sure that you're you're participating
13:26
in the traditional greetings of that
13:28
society This this is this
13:30
is a this is a philosophy
13:32
that has no forgiveness and
13:34
You're either on board or you're
13:36
not You're either 100 % in
13:39
or you're you're an outcast
13:41
and you will comply. This
13:43
is this is what the the
13:45
left just doesn't understand. I shouldn't
13:47
say the left understands this. The
13:49
average Democrat doesn't understand. They think
13:51
because the average Democrat, I think,
13:53
is still kind of thinking, well,
13:56
you know, I mean, I don't like all that,
13:58
but I want to be tolerant. There
14:00
is no tolerance with this.
14:02
There's none. And this should
14:04
show you there is no
14:06
reason to force these parents
14:09
or force these kids to
14:11
go against their parents' teaching
14:13
other than you will participate. You
14:16
will comply. That's
14:18
all there is. Yeah, I love to.
14:21
One of their outs on this from
14:23
the left is basically to say, look,
14:25
if you want, if you don't want
14:27
your kids to learn this stuff, then
14:29
you should homeschool or put your kids
14:31
in Christian schools. Now, of course, it's
14:33
it's actually Christians, Jews and Muslims, one
14:35
of the lead defendants
14:37
here, is a Muslim actually, is
14:39
trying to pull their kids out of
14:41
this, and they have. Which
14:43
is a fascinating argument from the
14:45
left, considering how hard they fought
14:47
against school choice all this time.
14:50
They have tried to prevent it, they've
14:53
tried to prevent the rights for you
14:55
to educate your own kids, and they're
14:57
trying to force you to pay for
14:59
that education, not once but twice. That's
15:02
their answer. Like, if you don't want
15:04
to learn what we're teaching you, then you
15:06
get to pay twice as much for
15:08
an education going to get outside of these
15:10
walls. I
15:13
will tell you that I talked
15:15
to some people over the last couple
15:17
of days up here, some of
15:19
them with the Department of Education, and
15:21
they are thrilled to dismantle that
15:23
thing. They are very very
15:26
excited to dismantle the Department of
15:28
Education. They're on the inside and they're
15:30
like it's freaking them out and
15:32
it is we're shutting this thing down.
15:35
And it couldn't be more exhilarating quite
15:38
honestly. I mean, tell me what
15:40
the Department of Education has done. Look
15:42
at how they are. They're taking
15:44
on private schools and they're saying you
15:46
don't have a right to private
15:48
education or you have a right but
15:51
we're not going to we're not
15:53
going to give you any vouchers. We're
15:55
not going to spend any and
15:57
look at what we're spending money on
15:59
a system that is getting worse
16:01
and worse and worse and we're trapping
16:03
our children into uh into slavery
16:06
if your kids can't read i mean
16:08
go back to the 1800s do
16:10
you know that it was i believe
16:12
it was the death penalty to
16:14
teach someone a slave how to read
16:16
did you know that It
16:19
was a crime of the highest
16:21
order to teach a slave to read. Why?
16:25
Because if they can read, they can
16:27
think. If they can think, they're
16:29
no longer going to be a slave.
16:32
That's why. So this
16:34
progressive, these people have
16:36
hated, have hated the
16:38
African American forever. It's
16:41
the same people that started the
16:43
Klan. It's the progressive movement
16:45
that tried to wipe out every
16:47
black with Planned Parenthood and they're
16:49
still doing it and getting away
16:51
with it. Is there
16:53
a reason why all of the abortion
16:55
clinics happen to fall in the black
16:57
zip codes? Is there a reason
16:59
that that's where most of them are? Gee,
17:02
I don't know. They're
17:05
still doing it. They were the ones
17:07
that were over in Germany telling you how
17:09
to get rid of the Jews. Yes,
17:12
that was an American thing.
17:14
Not a German thing that
17:16
was us My gosh these
17:18
people have hated and hated
17:20
and hated and then the
17:22
guy Johnson Who stopped the
17:24
civil rights movement? He stopped
17:26
the Civil Rights Act in
17:29
1959 He was the guy
17:31
who stopped it then just
17:33
four or five years later.
17:35
He signs it in and
17:37
he's proud to do it.
17:39
And then he signs the
17:41
great, what do you call
17:43
it, the great society bills.
17:46
So we have a great society that's gonna
17:48
help the black man and what does
17:50
it do? It tears their families apart. It
17:52
drives them further into poverty. It
17:55
miseducates their children so they're
17:57
just nincompoops. And then by the
17:59
way, white people are nincompoops
18:01
as well because we get the
18:03
same damn education. Who
18:05
is this hurt? This is
18:07
hurt the black man more than
18:10
the white man and These
18:12
people they still get away with
18:14
it now ask yourself a
18:16
question if if you're paying taxes

18:24
not educating my kid there and I'm
18:26
not paying you for that education
18:28
because I think that education is Evil
18:30
I think that education is so
18:32
evil because look what it's doing to
18:35
our kids. It's teaching them that
18:37
they should be slaves It's not teaching
18:39
them how to think it's teaching
18:41
them what you want them to think

20:17
on our way to the on my
20:19
way to the White House I hear
20:21
in a couple of hours and I
20:23
would be with the president today I'd
20:25
love to hear what you Are interested
20:27
in I'd love to ask a few
20:29
questions that are directed by you I've
20:31
been working on these questions for the
20:33
president here for the last about week
20:35
But I'd love to hear from you
20:37
eight at eight seven two seven be
20:40
eck. What is it that you are
20:42
most interested in hearing? Asked
20:44
of the president It's
20:49
so interesting asking the president questions because
20:51
I remember I was in the Oval Office
20:53
with George W. Bush and he was
20:56
he was not happy and I had questioned,
20:58
you know, what is happening to the
21:00
what's what's happening in the war as a
21:02
president and I had just got on
21:04
the air and I don't remember what I
21:06
said to piss him off but I
21:08
said something and I said that's not the
21:10
way the president behaves. And so he
21:12
calls me in the office and I'm sitting
21:14
there and he says, you know, a
21:16
lot of people think they know exactly how
21:18
I'd just like to be the president.
21:20
They have no idea what it's like to
21:22
be the president in the United States.
21:25
You don't know what I'm dealing with. And
21:27
and in some ways it was true.
21:29
I mean, it's no excuse. You have to
21:31
be better at it than anybody else.
21:33
But the president can't answer certain things like
21:35
I really I really want to know. Can
21:39
this be saved? Can
21:41
this be saved? Because
21:43
we are looking at
21:45
such economic we're
21:47
looking into the abyss
21:49
into the abyss
21:51
and And I don't
21:53
think the American
21:55
people really understand that
21:57
and it's going
21:59
to take all of
22:01
us understanding it
22:03
and then choosing Okay,
22:06
I'll take the hard road. I'll take
22:08
the hard medicine now. Used to be able,
22:10
in the old days, you know, FDR could get on
22:12
and say, look, this is going to be hard.
22:15
This is going to be a slog, but I'll take
22:17
it on for my generation so our children don't
22:19
have to deal with it. I'm not
22:21
sure that people are, I think they're willing
22:23
to do it, but there will always be somebody
22:25
on the outside that says, that's not necessary.
22:27
You don't have to do that. You can do
22:29
it all. You can have it all. No,
22:31
no, no, no, no. You don't understand.
22:33
We'll put your Social Security over here
22:35
in a lockbox, and people will want
22:37
to believe the easy road. So
22:40
I've been wrestling with questions on,
22:42
you know, how to make it
22:45
easy for the president to tell
22:47
the real truth on the economy,
22:49
which I think he does, but
22:51
I don't think enough people hear
22:53
it. That, as he says, it's
22:55
going to be a bumpy ride.
22:57
Yeah, it's going to be a
22:59
lot more than a bumpy ride.
23:01
It's going to be a tough,
23:03
tough slog. But we
23:05
have to do it. This interview, by the way,
23:07
will air tonight, 9 p
23:09
.m. Eastern, only on
23:12
Blaze TV. This
23:14

23:17
Wow, that's so amazing, because
23:19
I am Glenn Beck. That's so weird. You
23:22
never realize how dependent you really are on
23:24
the power that's supplied by the grid until the
23:26
grid is down. That's when
23:28
the thought hits, wow, I should have
23:30
had a generator. That's
23:33
why I want you to check out
23:35
the Grid Doctor 3300. Generators are really,
23:37
really expensive, but you usually don't need
23:39
one, but this one is solar powered,
23:41
so you're not scrambling for gas cans
23:43
or dealing with a roar of an
23:45
engineer driveway. It's quiet, it's clean, it's
23:47
safe to use inside your house even.
23:50
This is the generator for people who want
23:52
something practical, portable, and built for a
23:54
world we actually live in where blackouts are
23:56
more common and infrastructure is more powerful.
23:58
This is something you could put your fridge
24:00
or your freezer on. So,
24:02
you know, all the meat doesn't go bad. If
24:04
you want real peace of mind,
24:06
something you'll actually use, go to mypatriotsupply.com.
24:09
Look at the Grid Doctor 3300.
24:11
You'll be glad you did. It's quiet,
24:13
fume -free, safe to use indoors
24:15
and out, totally portable. In
24:18
a world where the grid's becoming less and
24:20
less reliable by the day, Grid Doctor 3300
24:22
will give you peace of mind and practical,
24:25
everyday use. Yet yours

25:48
yeah, we're not it's not like you're
25:50
dealing with Joe Biden anymore. No. Yeah,
25:53
excuse me. Let it ride. Let's
25:56
see what he says. You
25:59
know, I have a lot of things to
26:01
talk to him about like one thing that I
26:03
would like to see you
26:05
know, that I don't see anybody
26:07
talking about. You know,
26:09
the president is changing the economy. He
26:11
is changing, he's getting away
26:13
from this World War II nightmare
26:15
that, you know, might have
26:18
been right for, you know, 1948,
26:20
but it's certainly not right for today, where
26:23
we were taking care of Europe, we were
26:25
giving them all kinds of special breaks, we were
26:27
paying for their defense, yada, yada, yada, yada. Instead,
26:32
Now America needs to take care of
26:34
herself and we all need to
26:36
be self -sufficient. Well, you know,
26:38
we're talking about AI a lot, but
26:40
what people are not talking about or
26:42
something that Eric Schmidt came to the
26:44
White House, sorry to the Capitol Hill
26:46
and testified a couple of days ago,
26:48
about the power usage. We
26:50
have a significant problem with
26:53
power. Now I want you
26:55
to understand, everyone will
26:57
tell you We cannot lose
26:59
the race for AI. Have
27:01
you heard anyone say anything other
27:03
than that, Stu? No.
27:05
Anyone who talks about it says we
27:08
can't just let China or someone else
27:10
win it. It's
27:12
100 % universal. We
27:14
must, must
27:17
win. Okay. So
27:20
where are we going to
27:23
get all the power? Here's
27:25
what Eric said, many people
27:27
should project demand for our
27:29
industry will go from 3%,
27:31
3 % of total energy
27:33
production right now. We're at
27:36
3 % for all of our
27:38
server farms and everything else
27:40
for Silicon Valley uses 3%.
27:42
He says it's going to
27:44
go from 3 % to
27:47
99 % of all energy usage
27:49
in the next three years.
27:52
An additional 29 gigawatts
27:54
by 2027 and
27:56
67 more gigawatts by
27:59
2030. He
28:01
is now saying that we
28:03
have to build hundreds of
28:05
nuclear power plants. He
28:08
said there are some plants
28:10
that they will require. Most
28:12
plants will require one nuclear
28:14
power plant per server farm.
28:18
Some of them may require
28:20
up to three nuclear
28:22
power plants per server farm.
28:26
So this is really good in
28:28
one way, because we will have
28:30
the electricity that we need, assuming
28:32
we start to build these things
28:34
quickly. I mean, what's going to
28:36
happen, Stu? It takes 25 years
28:38
to build a nuclear power plant. How
28:41
is it we're expected at all
28:43
to compete? We have
28:45
dismantled our we've dismantled our
28:48
coal fire plants all over the
28:50
country We are still not
28:52
digging up coal and and fuel
28:54
as much as we need
28:56
to we need to be open
28:58
and Open valves on absolutely
29:00
everything. That's something that Eric Schmidt
29:03
said yesterday, too. Now remember
29:05
this is Silicon Valley guy I'm
29:07
sure he was green green
29:09
green for a long time, but
29:11
now he's saying we need
29:13
absolutely every source of energy because
29:16
We are going to need
29:18
99 % by 2027. 2027.
29:23
What do you think your power price
29:26
is going to be? What
29:28
do you think about rolling blackouts
29:30
and brownouts? We
29:33
have got to be and this would create
29:35
so many jobs, so
29:37
many jobs, good paying jobs,
29:39
going out and building all these
29:41
nuclear power plants. Is this
29:43
an opportunity for Trump and the
29:45
Trump administration? I mean,
29:47
because it feels also like talking about
29:49
positives going on offense rather than
29:52
being on defense. There's been a lot
29:54
of defense talk lately and going
29:56
on offense and saying, hey, we can
29:58
be the best place for your
30:00
company to exist because we're going to
30:02
be the only place on earth
30:05
that has the power it needs. Yep.
30:07
Yep. The only other country that is doing it
30:09
is China and they're building them like crazy. This
30:12
is something that we
30:15
have Donald Trump could
30:17
surpass FDR in power
30:19
generation. Remember, most people
30:21
in 1919 in Woodrow
30:24
Wilson, I think 1
30:26
% of the population
30:28
had a refrigerator by
30:30
1930. I
30:32
think that number was
30:34
like 80 % had refrigeration
30:37
when when
30:39
FDR came in, the only places it
30:41
didn't have stuff was there was no
30:43
electricity in these small little rural towns.
30:46
So he went and he started
30:48
building power plants and dams and everything
30:50
else to generate all the power
30:52
and then started laying power lines.
30:54
This is something that Donald Trump could
30:56
do and it is time. I
30:59
mean our grid hasn't really been updated
31:01
since FDR. We're
31:03
still using the same stuff
31:05
and you know a lot of
31:07
it is just out so
31:09
outdated and so bad Our our
31:11
grid is so incredibly unstable
31:13
and not built for what's coming
31:16
next and I just don't
31:18
know how he's gonna get it
31:20
done But he this is
31:22
a big win for him big
31:24
win for him. You know,
31:26
you know how many jobs would
31:28
be created if we introduced
31:30
and said, we have to build them
31:32
in the next three years. It
31:36
would be enormous, enormous
31:39
and exciting.
31:42
Yeah. Yeah. Exciting. I mean, you know,
31:44
look, having power
31:46
is the basis of civilization.
31:49
This is not a, it's not a small
31:51
little thing. I mean, it really is. One
31:54
of the foundational elements you need for
31:56
a modern civilization. And we sit here
31:58
and we talk about all the things
32:00
we can't do. All the
32:02
natural resources that we have,
32:04
we can't utilize. All the
32:06
things that we need to stop, right?
32:08
We need to stop making gas -powered
32:10
cars. We need to stop getting
32:12
our own coal and using it. We
32:14
need to stop building nuclear plants. This
32:17
is a way of saying, no, we're on offense.
32:19
We're America. You know, the left is
32:21
trying to, right now, they're in the middle of
32:23
a rebrand and one of their, you know, as
32:26
we talked about last hour, they're still seemingly
32:28
stuck in a lot of these crazy woke
32:30
things that burned them last time. Hopefully, they
32:32
stick with those forever. But
32:34
one of the proposals being floated around
32:36
on the left is this idea
32:38
of abundance. That's the name
32:40
of the book that kind of
32:43
lays these concepts out. And it's
32:45
an idea of trying to take
32:47
away what the right has always
32:49
had, which is this idea of
32:51
saying, hey, we're looking to grow.
32:53
We want better things. We want
32:55
the Americans to have a better,
32:57
more fruitful, more wealthy, more having
32:59
more. And we'll decide what we
33:01
want to do when we have more. And
33:03
the left was always saying, hey, no, we need
33:05
to restrict. We need to calm that down.
33:07
You don't need all of this. You don't need
33:09
the bigger house. You don't need the bigger
33:11
car. And that's not the fundamental number one thing
33:13
we should care about. about, but it was
33:15
always there for us to say, hey, all these
33:17
shelves are stocked. Everything you need is
33:20
right there. You make the decisions on what you want. You'll
33:22
make the decisions and prioritize on what you're going to
33:24
spend your money on and what you're going to spend your
33:26
time on. And the left is trying to take that
33:28
back right now. They're seeing an opportunity
33:30
because of a lot of people on the
33:32
right who are saying, no, actually, maybe we
33:34
shouldn't have those things available. Maybe you don't
33:36
need them. And I'm
33:38
nervous if they decide to go
33:40
down this road. There is
33:42
a real vulnerability to the conservative
33:45
movement if the left takes that away
33:47
from us and they want to. State
33:52
it again more succinctly.
33:54
Your concern again? My
33:57
concern is, and this is a real thing
33:59
being talked about on the left in sort
34:01
of their higher level academic circles, is
34:04
the approach to say, to take away
34:06
that, I don't know, it was a,
34:08
I would say, Pretty
34:10
consistent with that Reagan optimism, right?
34:12
The shining city on the hill.
34:15
The idea that we can do it. We
34:17
can do it. We can accomplish all
34:19
these incredible things, not through government, but
34:21
through you. You can do it. We'll have
34:23
all these things. And you should expect
34:25
from your country an abundance, not
34:28
a scarcity. I'm trying
34:30
to figure out where you've seen that
34:32
on the left. I mean, there's
34:34
a major bestseller that just came out
34:36
called Abundance. That was
34:38
the that and it was from
34:40
the left. It was from two
34:42
guys on the left and I
34:44
don't know that they'll win I
34:46
mean, but you know as recline
34:49
and Derek Thompson. They're pretty well -known
34:51
It's really hard to that's really
34:53
hard to sell I know look
34:55
at Barack Obama. He's got how
34:57
many houses three? Where he's building
34:59
a seawall around one of his
35:01
houses where you can't build seawalls
35:03
in Hawaii But he's building a
35:05
seawall around one of them That's
35:07
his part -time house his other
35:09
part -time houses in Nantucket one foot
35:12
above sea level one count them
35:14
one foot Above sea level and
35:16
he's got a third house someplace
35:18
else. I think it's here in
35:20
Washington and He's always
35:22
talking about hey, you know, there's
35:24
there comes a time when enough
35:26
is enough and you have too
35:28
much When is that Barak because
35:31
you're telling us that we shouldn't
35:33
have an SUV you've got three
35:35
houses See this whole abundance thing
35:37
has never been aimed at them
35:39
It's always been aimed at us.
35:42
They believe in abundance only for
35:44
the right people the right people
35:46
get it And
35:48
that's that is the biggest difference in
35:50
abundance is they've been saying that we
35:53
all have to You know pinch back,
35:55
but they don't actually mean it You
35:57
know at least at least the Republicans
35:59
are like yeah, I'm corrupt as hell
36:01
and making all kinds of money on
36:03
the side, but you can too It's
36:05
just crazy. Yeah, no, I agree. I
36:07
think look they've never actually believed any
36:10
of these things, right? But like what
36:12
was their approach for it forever? We've
36:14
heard the approach of hey Your
36:16
TVs are too big. Your
36:19
cars, they're too, they have too
36:21
much of what you need. The SUVs
36:23
are too large. Your homes are
36:25
too large. You don't need that air
36:27
conditioning. You should turn it to
36:29
72 degrees. Now, I can bet you
36:31
at neither Martha's Vineyard or in
36:33
Hawaii, Barack Obama never had his house
36:35
set to some uncomfortable temperature he
36:38
didn't like. Well, he might have because...
36:40
right on the ocean, and you
36:42
get that lovely ocean breeze that most
36:44
of us don't get. That's true,
36:46
that's true. But I mean, that was,
36:48
it was always something that they
36:50
tried to implement on the people, right?
36:52
It was always, we get what
36:54
we want, but you need to sacrifice
36:56
for the greater good. And
36:58
that's a thing that just doesn't
37:01
connect exactly with the American people,
37:03
not because they're not charitable, because they
37:05
are. They want to do good
37:07
things for other people, but they
37:09
will come together and do incredible accomplished
37:12
incredible things, which they have done. But
37:14
it was always this idea that you would
37:16
be able to, it was part of
37:18
the American deal, right? We do these things,
37:20
we work hard, maybe we work harder,
37:22
maybe we work more hours, maybe we put
37:24
up with more crap, but with the
37:27
idea that we can shape our own future.
37:29
the left is trying to take that
37:31
messaging back. Now, I'm with you in
37:33
that I am not confident that viewpoint
37:35
will win out on the left because
37:37
there's a bunch of insane people, but
37:39
it is a vulnerability of the right
37:42
if we go down this road of
37:44
trying to encourage the same type of
37:46
scarcity talk that the left has been
37:48
engaging in. Okay, okay, so let's take
37:50
that. Next hour, I want to tell
37:52
you a story that fits right in
37:54
here on what the leftists are doing
37:56
now in San Francisco. because it's very
37:58
similar to what you're talking about. And
38:00
this morning when I read it, I
38:02
was like, that'll never work, but maybe
38:04
you're right. Maybe it will.
38:06
I don't know, but it's insane. We'll
38:09
talk about that and so much more coming
38:11
up. Don't forget President Trump and interview at
38:13
the White House tonight at 9 with President
38:15
Trump and I. Let me tell you
38:17
about real estate agents I trust. Buying or selling a
38:19
home is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make
38:21
and not something that you want to walk blindly into.
38:24
That's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com. I wanted
38:26
to make sure that when you were
38:28
making a move, whether it was across
38:30
the street or across the country, you're
38:32
working with somebody who has been vetted,
38:34
somebody who knows you know is very
38:36
very experienced and who actually knows the
38:38
market, knows the difference between right and
38:40
wrong, knows how to listen to you. These
38:43
are agents who don't just dabble
38:45
in real estate. This is their
38:47
career. They know how to price
38:50
your home correctly, how to stage
38:52
it, how to market it. They
38:54
know how to fight for you
38:56
during the negotiation so you're getting
38:58
the best deal possible whether you're
39:00
buying or you're selling. It's about
39:02
trust, getting somebody who shares your
39:04
values and treats your home like
39:06
more than just a transaction. If
39:08
you're thinking about buying or selling
39:11
a home, go to realestateagentsitrust.com, realestateagentsitrust.com.
39:13
Let my team connect you with
39:15
a top rated agent in your
39:17
area. Don't wait, realestateagentsitrust.com. Well,
39:36
one way you can lose your
39:38
home is by missing mortgage payments.
39:40
But that is not the only
39:42
way to lose it. It turns
39:44
out that the title thieves have
39:46
a faster way of doing this.
39:48
With one forged deed filed online,
39:51
they can claim your property before really
39:53
they get up and have breakfast. Federal
39:56
reports show a title fraud
39:58
climbed more than 50 % last
40:00
year. And meanwhile, the
40:02
nightly news streams What
40:04
celebrity and political drama for the
40:06
clicks instead of warning about stuff
40:08
like this? Here's what happens.
40:10
Basically, the crook copies public data. They
40:12
attach a digital notary stamp. They
40:14
upload a fake deed. And
40:16
your county clerk often accepts it.
40:19
Minutes later, your equity backs a loan
40:21
that you never asked for. The
40:23
bill arrives weeks later. Interests
40:25
already ticking. Our alarms, you know,
40:27
can't do anything to protect you from this. They
40:29
can protect your windows. But they
40:31
can't protect this type of
40:34
theft, and home title luck
40:36
stands watch on home title
40:38
fraud 24 -7. They're not
40:40
going to let you down. The instant a document
40:42
touches your deed, you get an alert,
40:44
and honestly, if by some chance it
40:46
lucky, you know... Thief manages to pull all
40:48
this off. They have a restoration team.
40:50
They send lawyers and, you know, all this
40:52
other stuff to make sure everything gets
40:54
backed away. It's supposed to be go to
40:56
home title lock dot com right now.
40:58
Protect yourself from this home title lock dot
41:00
com home title lock dot com. The
41:02
promo code is blaze. I'm
41:22
gonna spend another hour with you
41:24
and then I got to get to
41:26
to the White House to interview
41:28
the president and I'm looking forward to
41:30
that love to hear your comments
41:32
we pulled our audience Over
41:34
the last few days and been
41:36
asking people, you know, what are you
41:39
most interested in and most people
41:41
are interested in doge That seems to
41:43
be the hot button with this
41:45
audience. So I'm gonna be talking to
41:47
him about doge in particular Yesterday
41:49
it was announced that it looks like
41:51
Elon Musk is gonna be reducing
41:53
his time in Washington on doge next
41:55
month and what does that mean
41:57
and And is he happy with the
41:59
amount that has been cut, you
42:01
know, they've really dramatically Reduced
42:05
the amounts of cuts that they're
42:07
looking for and I I find that
42:09
a little sad quite honestly But
42:11
I'm not sure why that is happening
42:13
is you know, is he getting
42:15
pushback from the agencies? Is he getting
42:17
pushback from Congress? Where is he
42:19
getting this pushback from and is he
42:21
gonna just keep plowing through it?
42:23
What happens when Elon Musk leaves we'll
42:26
talk to him about that Let
42:28
me go to is it Renee in
42:30
Texas or ready Renee Renee Hi,
42:32
Renee. Hi. Tariffs
42:36
are killing my small business,
42:38
and it's not even the tariff
42:40
amounts. It's the way that they
42:42
were implemented very suddenly and very
42:44
haphazardly. The shipping companies were
42:46
not prepared for what was coming. I
42:49
had shipments in the air. I
42:51
import most of my goods for my
42:53
small business specialty martial arts company.
42:55
from Hungary and from Poland and the
42:57
the and UPS and FedEx they
42:59
started swapping steel tariffs on shipments that
43:01
contain zero steel because it's coated
43:03
as a sporting good and when I
43:05
asked hey why are y 'all doing
43:07
that they said well we didn't
43:10
know what was in there and so
43:12
to be safe they coated it
43:14
as steel so I'm paying five thousand
43:16
dollars in customs for a package
43:18
that normally would have cost me six
43:20
hundred to eight hundred dollars in
43:22
tariffs or customs And when I said,
43:24
can I get that back? They
43:26
said, well, you have to file a
43:28
claim with customs and it may
43:30
be four to six weeks to get
43:32
that back. I'm currently out about
43:35
$30 ,000. I will
43:37
ask the president about this because there's
43:39
a lot of tariff talk that I
43:41
want to get to today. I
43:43
put that down. I am going to put it on
43:45
my list of things to talk to him about. I
43:47
feel for you. I really do
43:49
feel for you. It's been a little
43:51
sloppy. Here's Glenn Beck. You
