What makes a great pair of glasses?
0:02
At Warby Parker, it's all
0:04
the invisible extras, without
0:07
the extra cost. Their
0:09
designer quality frames start
0:11
at $95, including prescription
0:13
lenses, plus scratch-resistant, smudge-resistant,
0:16
and anti-reflective coatings, and UV
0:18

0:20

0:22
pair of glasses, sunglasses or contact
0:24
lenses, or to find the Warby
0:26
Parker store nearest you, head over
0:28
to Warby parker.com. Hopefully,
0:37
you've got some Ammo, even if you haven't
0:39
needed it yet. But here's the thing, Ammo
0:41
isn't just something that you buy once and
0:43
forget. It's a supply, and like
0:45
any supply, it can run low, usually at
0:47
the worst possible time. That's where ammo
0:49
squared comes in. Think of it like a
0:51
savings account for ammunition. You pick
0:54
the calibers that you want, how much you want
0:56
to spend each month, and they handle the rest. They
0:58
store this for you in a secure facility. Or
1:00
you can have it shipped to your door whenever
1:02
you're ready. No more panic buying, no more empty shelves,
1:04
no more I'll get around to it. And, you
1:06
know, it's kind of genius. Just like food or water
1:08
or power, if you wait until you need ammo
1:10
to go buy it, it's probably already too late and
1:13
probably too expensive. That's why you
1:15
want to go with AmmoSquared.com. AmmoSquared.com,
1:17
take the work out of buying
1:19
ammo. 100 ,000 members, thousands of

them out today. And
2:24
this is the
2:26
end. Welcome
2:32
to the Glenn Beck program. It is Stu
2:34
Bergear here for you as Glenn goes
2:36
his little jaunt to the White House. For
2:38
some reason, the president of United States
2:41
did not plan his schedule around our program
2:43
today. It is wrong.
2:45
Jeff Fisher joins us as well,
2:47
of course, host of Chewing the
2:49
Fat, the wonderful podcast hosted by
2:51
Jeffy. We'll get to him in
2:53
just a couple of seconds. sounds like you'd believe
2:55
that. I didn't. I didn't believe it, but I'm
2:57
glad I was a little bit convincing. First, let
2:59
me tell you about the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
3:02
September 11th isn't just a day that we remember. It's
3:04
a day that's still, to this
3:06
day, taking lives. We lost 2 ,977
3:08
souls on that morning. Men, women, children.
3:10
We lost heroes and first responders
3:12
who ran toward the danger without a
3:14
second thought. But here's something that
3:16
a lot of people don't know. More
3:18
first responders have died from 9 -11
3:20
related illnesses since that day than
3:23
have died on it, which is really
3:25
terrifying. The legacy of
3:27
Sacrifice deserves to be honored not just
3:29
once a year, but regularly in
3:31
every classroom across America. That's
3:33
exactly what the Toronto Towers Foundation is doing
3:35
through the 9 -11 Institute. They're
3:37
equipping K -12 teachers with
3:39
powerful age -appropriate resources, full
3:42
curriculum units, ready -to -teach scripted
3:44
lessons, videos, and even
3:46
first -hand survivor stories through the Discovering
3:48
Heroes book series. They've even
3:50
built a traveling museum, the 9 -11 mobile
3:52
exhibit, where students walk through the day
3:54
in the shoes of the firefighters who were
3:56
there. It's guided by the very men
3:58
who lived it. To never forget, we
4:00
must educate future generations. Help
4:02
our nation keep its vow. Donate
4:05
$11 a month to Tunnel
4:07
to Towers at t2t .org.
4:09
It's t, the number two,
4:11
t .org. Jeffy, welcome.
4:14
Good to see him a man still good
4:16
to see you. How are you? Well, I'm
4:18
doing well. I mean this is a big
4:20
day for our own Glenn back I mean
4:22
that's a big surprise. He's you know doesn't
4:25
realize he's got his own show to do.
4:27
Yeah, I know It's it is interesting. I
4:29
just feel like you know say I am
4:31
working on my own show just not this
4:33
one Yes, it's true. He's going to be
4:35
you're being by the way able to see
4:37
this interview on edited tonight They're gonna put
4:39
this on Glenn's TV show Glenn TV, of
4:41
course part of your blaze tv subscription blaze
4:43
tv dot com slash glenn the promo code
4:45
there is glenn of course you also get
4:47
stew does america uh chewing the fat a
4:49
part of the podcast network get all of
4:51
it and it's a it's a great membership
4:53
and it also helps support actual
4:56
journalism, actual conservative thought, maybe
4:58
some media coverage you could actually
5:00
get something out of. It'll
5:02
be nice. I'll be interested to
5:04
see this interview tonight with
5:06
the president and Glenn. I know
5:08
it's a different thing doing
5:10
an interview on your show when
5:12
President Trump's on the phone
5:14
as opposed to going to the
5:16
White House and doing it
5:18
there face to face. On
5:21
his ground. It's on his ground,
5:23
right? Yeah. And it's interesting because the
5:25
president, he's got about an hour
5:27
with the president. Glenn does.
5:29
And, you know, the president isn't one of
5:31
those guys that sometimes you bring out a
5:33
guest, you know this, Jeff, if you bring
5:35
out a guest and they answer in like
5:37
half sentences and they're kind of they're kind
5:39
of boring and they're quick and they don't
5:41
say anything interesting and they get they're done
5:43
after two sentences and they kind of let
5:45
you go on to the next question. That's
5:48
not president. That is not Donald Trump. No,
5:50
President Trump is going to give you. He's going to
5:52
go. You're going to start him off.
5:54
He's going to go. You're not to make a point to
5:56
get to what you want to get to. Yeah, it's hard.
5:58
It is hard. It's a challenge with him because, you know,
6:00
look, the guy is, he's a talker. He likes talking about
6:03
these stuff. He cares about it quite a bit. And
6:05
especially if you want to confront him on
6:07
something, if you want, if he says something, you're
6:10
like, well, let's back up and think about
6:12
this for a second. Yeah. Now you've wasted another.
6:14
I'm not wasted, but I mean, there goes
6:16
another 10 minutes. Right. Of the hour that you
6:18
have. You have to really be focused. And
6:21
I wouldn't. I don't know. Glenn, I think, can
6:23
be up and down on that one. Sometimes he's
6:25
very focused and gets the stuff he wants to
6:27
get to. Other times. Other times, maybe not so
6:29
much. So we'll see what happens tonight. I'm very
6:31
interested to watch this. Glenn obviously goes into this
6:33
wanting to ask about all the important stuff that's
6:35
going on. But you can only get to certain
6:37
things, and we'll see what he gets to. tonight
6:41
on the program again the show airs
6:43
at 9 p .m. Eastern sure I
6:45
don't know it's on blaze TV blaze
6:47
TV comm slash Glenn the promo code
6:49
being Glenn I make sure to check
6:51
it out you'll save 20 bucks on
6:53
the subscription if you go about it
6:55
that way one thing I don't I
6:57
don't know it'll have a chance to
7:00
get to is the new proposal from
7:02
the FDA to phase out dies Uh,
7:04
used in a bunch of foods. This
7:07
is the part I've been messing with my
7:09
skittles still. Tell you what,
7:11
I don't care about all the other red
7:13
dye, yellow dye. Don't
7:15
mess with my skittles. No, you don't
7:17
want your skittles. I will say
7:19
I'm not shocked to see you defending
7:21
big food. And I'll be probably
7:23
with you on this as well. I
7:25
mean, the red dye thing. is
7:27
something they've been trying to push for a while. You
7:30
know, there have been a lot of calls for this to
7:32
be banned for a long time. The Biden
7:34
administration did do this as well. They
7:37
banned red dye number three. One red
7:39
dye. One red dye number three. Now,
7:41
these are foods that these are dyes
7:43
that are in all sorts of foods,
7:45
though. It's maybe a little
7:47
overblown how many foods they're in. A
7:49
lot of it has been, you know, some companies have
7:52
just decided they didn't want to put this, these
7:54
guys in foods already, but they say
7:56
the fluorescent red of Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
7:58
Are you a Flamin' Hot Cheetos guy,
8:00
Jeffy? Not me neither. I like the
8:02
cheesy stuff. I feel like the Flamin'
8:04
Hot stuff, they just abandon the cheese.
8:06
You want to give me a spicy
8:08
cheese flavored thing? I'm in. But
8:11
what they're doing there is they're doing a
8:13
lot of just the spice without the cheese and
8:15
I just, you know, I could go away.
8:17
That one's fine. They are
8:19
the that they do say
8:21
the brilliant teal of Mountain Dew
8:23
Baja Blast, which I do
8:25
enjoy quite a bit and the
8:28
colorful rainbow of Skittles may
8:30
soon be dimmed. This is unacceptable.
8:34
The FDA is phasing out the use
8:36
of these. They call petroleum based synthetic
8:38
dyes by the end of next year.
8:40
This is what they announced now. It's
8:42
interesting to see How
8:44
they're doing this their approach is not
8:46
as heavy -handed as I would say the
8:48
left has Engaged in over the years where
8:50
they're just going out and actually banning
8:52
it they seem to be Indicating they're going
8:54
to work with companies to do it
8:56
now have to come to the table and
8:58
say look we We can't get rid
9:00
of this one because of this. Right. They'll
9:02
be, I'm sure, a lobbying effort. And
9:05
look, the reason why these dyes are used
9:07
is typically because they're less expensive than the
9:09
alternatives. And also more vibrant.
9:11
Right. That's the thing. Yeah. They want
9:13
to brighten, especially like the citrus
9:15
ones they talked about. Right. Well, let
9:17
me give you this. I'll give
9:19
you this example. RFK Jr. How
9:22
good luck. I'll be honest. I'm not an RFK junior guy
9:24
like Marty McCurry is another guy who's who's about out there
9:26
talking about this. I like him a lot. Big
9:28
J. Botticharia guy. I like a lot
9:30
of the people that that. Donald Trump
9:32
has chosen for his health apparatus. I
9:34
really do like, you know,
9:37
RFK Junior, not so much. I
9:39
will admit to you. He was
9:41
talking about how he had this
9:43
big thing when he was running
9:45
for president against Donald Trump when
9:47
he was talking about fruit loops
9:49
and how Canadian fruit loops only
9:51
have three ingredients and we have
9:53
all these ingredients in our fruit
9:55
loops. Now, needless to say, that's
9:57
not even remotely close to accurate.
10:01
I would love to know which three ingredients
10:03
you could form a fruit loop with, because
10:05
I don't know, there's just not a physical
10:07
way to do it. You can't make fruit
10:09
loops with three ingredients. It's not
10:11
even remotely close to true. The
10:13
only way to make fruit loops in
10:15
three ingredients is if you actually
10:18
use real fruit, right? If you use
10:20
just... That's what Canada does. That
10:22
is not what they do. They do
10:24
not have three ingredients. They have
10:26
basically, I think, the exact same amount.
10:28
It might be one or two
10:30
less ingredients, a fewer ingredients, but it's
10:32
basically the exact same. amount of
10:34
ingredients. But what they do, that is
10:37
different than us, is they utilize
10:39
different dyes for their fruit loops. So
10:41
if you look at the fruit
10:43
loops, side by side, Canadian fruit loops,
10:45
US fruit loops, I'm sorry,
10:47
there's no doubt which one you're taking, you're taking the
10:49
good old American fruit loops. They
10:51
look better, they pop. Right?
10:53
They've got those cool colors.
10:56
The bright blues and the
10:58
bright reds and the bright
11:00
yellows. And then you have
11:02
that kind of like boring
11:04
like, yeah. cereal look. You
11:07
know, look, and of
11:09
course we should point out
11:11
cereals without these flavorings,
11:13
fruit loop type cereals are
11:15
currently widely available in
11:17
the United States. If you
11:19
choose. To want your
11:21
dolls they are available they've
11:23
been available for forever They're available
11:25
for a very long time.
11:27
There's you know, again, it's usually
11:29
I will say a little
11:31
bit more expensive because These the
11:33
reason why they use the
11:35
artificial dyes because they first of
11:37
all they look better and
11:39
they're more enticing to people and
11:41
secondarily they are cheaper, right?
11:43
They they If you go
11:46
to Trader Joe's, you can find tons of
11:48
cereals that are not flavored with artificial
11:50
flavorings, but they're gonna cost a lot more.
11:52
They're much more expensive when you take
11:54
all these ingredients out. So that's why a
11:56
lot of these big cereal companies utilize
11:58
these dice. They're cheaper, and of course, they
12:00
also look better. But you can get
12:02
the other ones if you want them now.
12:05
To me, as a person
12:07
who wants less government
12:09
interference rather than more, I
12:12
typically lean on the side
12:14
of wanting the options to all
12:16
be out there. You should
12:18
be able to choose what you
12:20
want. Now, I know what
12:22
I will choose every single time,
12:24
which is the good old
12:26
American petroleum based food coloring. That's
12:28
what I want. Absolutely. When I open
12:30
up my bag of Skittles, if I don't
12:32
have those vibrant colors staring back at me,
12:34
shining, ready to be eaten, I don't. I
12:37
don't know why either, because it doesn't really
12:39
change the taste of them at all. And
12:41
they all taste. Everyone is different, Stu. Yeah.
12:43
Fruit loops. By the way, did you know
12:45
this? I'm sure you did, Jeffy, but did
12:47
you know that every fruit loop, no matter
12:49
what the color, tastes the same? It tastes
12:51
exactly the same. It tastes the same, which
12:53
is interesting. That's why on top of whatever
12:55
they put in the dyes for fruit loops,
12:57
you need a little bit more extra sugar
12:59
on top of them. Right. Just this. You
13:01
need to brighten it up a little bit.
13:03
That's not, again, healthy choice is not exactly
13:06
your strong suit. So this is
13:08
what they're going into now. They
13:10
say, there's been an interesting, the studies
13:12
on this I will say are
13:14
not, not
13:16
overwhelming. If you
13:18
go back and look. been very few actually.
13:20
They've been very few and what they've shown has
13:22
been really mixed. I mean, there was a
13:24
study a long time ago and that. And
13:27
this is the basis, again, this was
13:29
the Biden administration getting rid of red number
13:31
three. Now, they tried to get rid
13:33
of red number three. They eventually did it. They
13:35
did it right before Trump came into office. And
13:38
the study said
13:40
that certain rats can
13:42
get cancer with
13:44
certain amounts of red
13:47
number The levels
13:49
taken. Yes. Yes. Now,
13:51
the levels, I
13:53
mean, it's completely absurd. First
13:55
of all, they gave 65
13:57
times the maximum dose to
13:59
these rats, and they gave
14:01
them 65 times the maximum
14:03
dose every day for 28
14:06
consecutive months. Wow. Now,
14:08
I don't know if there's any substance
14:10
you could take at that level that
14:12
would not cause cancer, but maybe there's
14:14
one. I don't know what it would
14:16
be. You probably, even without,
14:18
if you had 65 times the
14:20
amount of maximum, the maximum dose
14:22
of water, every day for
14:24
28 months, you'd probably be dead. So I don't
14:27
know why that is an important study, but
14:29
that is what they did on. By the way,
14:31
the study, the author of
14:33
the study, which they use to take
14:35
red number three off the market
14:37
says it's actually safe. So they took
14:39
his study where he said it's
14:41
safe and then use that to pull
14:43
it off the market. Now,
14:46
one of the things they've studied over the
14:48
years, Jeffy, is this concept of it causing ADHD.
14:51
Yeah, yeah. That was one of
14:53
the California studies, right? That's probably,
14:55
there's more basis to that one
14:57
because they have found in about
14:59
half the studies that they've looked
15:01
at, they've seen some effect on
15:03
some children when it comes to
15:06
a measure of ADHD. And
15:08
it's funny, I have a friend who is,
15:10
you know, he's Like our lovely
15:12
Hillary who does the formative buzz here She
15:14
was just busting on me because she's
15:16
you know, she likes the more natural approach.
15:18
She's certainly more healthy than I am
15:20
So we all know that but you know,
15:23
I have a friend who's kind of
15:25
like Hillary and that you know He's very
15:27
like natural and likes to talk to
15:29
me about however chemical and our food is
15:31
bad and we go back and forth
15:33
about this and You know, it was funny
15:35
because this week he's telling me we
15:37
have to pull off all these food colorings
15:39
because of ADHD last week he was
15:41
telling me ADHD didn't exist and I'm like
15:43
wait a minute you were the one
15:45
who was telling me last week that ADHD
15:47
was just a scam and then this
15:49
week you're telling me we have to pull
15:51
red number of whatever 40 off the
15:53
shelves because it causes ADHD so I'm a
15:55
bit confused as to what we're doing
15:57
here exactly but I mean I think most
15:59
people are like look if I could
16:01
do without You know some
16:03
petroleum based food coloring. Sure. I'll
16:05
choose it. It might not everyone
16:07
might be us Jeffy some people
16:10
might want that Fine whatever you
16:12
be you by the way, I
16:14
will say it is available for
16:16
you. It's available right now Thank
16:18
you now one of the things
16:20
you might notice if these things
16:22
go away Is that prices do
16:24
go up on these items right
16:26
like because the the alternatives are
16:28
more expensive? That's what we've been
16:30
told forever Yeah, and we'll say
16:32
maybe maybe at a certain scale.
16:34
No, no investigations on how to
16:36
do the product cheaper without it.
16:38
Knowing it was coming. I
16:41
mean, I hope so. You'd think that they
16:43
would. And there are alternatives, right? Beat Juice is
16:45
one of them. Beat
16:47
Juice is. They'll be messed with my Skittles,
16:49
man. If you start to put beet juice,
16:51
it's my Skittles, too. Look, maybe people want
16:53
beet juice. That's good. They can
16:55
have it, but not what want. And they're Skittles.
16:57
And by the way, even things like Skittles,
16:59
there are, quote unquote, natural alternatives. Like
17:01
you pull them off of a tree. Natural
17:04
alternatives. for
17:06
your Skittles. Those do exist. I remember picking that. If they
17:08
get overripe, you've got to eat them off the ground. Yeah,
17:10
you do. You do. You do. All right. We'll come back.
17:12
We'll talk about the alternatives here in just a second. What's
17:14
going to be happening? First, let me tell
17:16
you about Lear Capital. Some things in life are temporary. Trends,
17:19
headlines, the ups and downs of the market. But
17:21
wisdom, real wisdom, stands the test of time.
17:24
The stability is kind of what Lear
17:26
Capital is all about because in a
17:28
world that feels more volatile by the
17:30
day, gold and silver don't play by
17:32
the same rules. They're not just investments,
17:34
they're anchors that hold the market when,
17:36
you know, there's sways and there's currencies
17:38
going crazy and governments are spending like
17:40
there's no tomorrow. Gold is
17:42
there. It's been there for a
17:44
long time. Lear capital helps you put
17:47
something real in place, something your
17:49
family can count on. For 25 years,
17:51
they've helped people like you prepare
17:53
for uncertain times. Not with panic, but
17:55
with purpose. Because you just don't
17:57
build a legacy by earning, you build
17:59
it by protecting what matters. So

station ID. Okay,
18:39
we're talking about the synthetic food
18:41
dyes. They want to phase out of
18:43
foods in the United States. They're
18:45
working on that now. You
18:48
can substitute these for beet juice is
18:50
one of them for reds. They have
18:52
like certain blueberry juices that they use
18:54
And that's fine if you want that
18:57
they're not they are not as vibrant
18:59
not as bright, but they could be
19:01
a useful substitute That's not the main
19:03
one they use though. It's not normally
19:05
beet juice. It's usually Carmine now Carmine
19:07
also is known as natural number four
19:09
So instead of red 40 you're getting
19:12
natural number four, which which sounds wonderful.
19:14
It sure does. Okay, how do you
19:16
make? Natural number four. I
19:18
don't know. It's an interesting concept. I'm
19:20
interesting people are interested in this
19:22
because it sounds delicious. First
19:24
of all, you go to the prickly pear cactus.
19:27
Okay. Okay. That kind of sounds interesting. I
19:29
haven't I've not seen a prickly pear
19:31
cactus field, but I'm sure they do exist.
19:33
They they're come now again, you're not
19:35
going to be this is not going to
19:37
be a an American product. This is
19:39
going to be central and South America. Okay,
19:42
to get these from but you go
19:44
through the prickly pear. plant,
19:46
and you don't go into the
19:48
prickly pear plant. You go in
19:50
there, you go to the outside
19:52
of it, and you scrape off
19:54
the cochineal insects that are on the
19:57
outside of it. You scrape a
19:59
bunch of those off. When
20:01
they become mature, you
20:04
are going to harvest the bugs.
20:06
You're only going to harvest, however, we
20:08
should be clear, only the females. of
20:10
this particular species of insect. You're gonna
20:13
take off of the prickly pear plants.
20:15
I don't know what kind of magnifying
20:17
glass you need to figure out which
20:19
one's which, but you figure out. Sadly,
20:21
I do. Anyway, there's a joke there
20:23
somewhere. So when these insects are mature,
20:26
you brush them off the cactus
20:28
and they mostly are collected by
20:30
hand, a very labor -intensive process. Then
20:33
the insects are killed and
20:35
dried using sunlight. Ovens or
20:37
steam okay takes about 70
20:39
,000 of these bugs to
20:41
make a pound of dye
20:43
that will go into your
20:45
Skittles very soon. That's gotta
20:47
be cheap Now once you
20:49
dry the bugs out you
20:51
you then grind the bugs
20:54
into a fine powder and
20:56
you take that powder and
20:58
you boil it in water
21:00
and you extract the vibrant
21:02
carminic acid Now this is
21:04
mixture is now filtered and
21:06
this is people are like I
21:08
want to be eating insects
21:10
parts. No, it's filtered to remove
21:12
the insect solids You'll just
21:14
be you'll just be having the
21:16
insect powder and the goo
21:19
that leaves the liquid red extract
21:21
and then it is treated
21:23
with Some mineral salts to stabilize
21:25
the pigment It is
21:27
then concentrated dried into a fine
21:29
powder and then kept as a
21:31
liquid concentrate and then it shipped
21:34
to be added to your skittles.
21:36
there. So we're gonna have one
21:38
bag of skittles in America. That's
21:40
a lot of work. That
21:42
is amazing. One pound of dye,
21:45
70 ,000 bucks. Now I've been
21:47
told that people are resistant to
21:49
the movement to eat bugs. That
21:51
is what I've been told over the
21:53
past few months. I thought we had this
21:55
whole You know, World Economic
21:57
Forum, Cloud Schwab, don't eat ze bugs
21:59
thing. We will be eating more bugs
22:01
if we go down this road. I
22:03
don't think there's any question about that.
22:05
I don't know that people want that
22:07
exactly. I think they'd rather have beet
22:10
juice. But it's not going to be
22:12
that many. You can't make the amount
22:14
of product that we make doing that.
22:16
I just can't. I think the bugs
22:18
are plentiful, Jeffy. This is why eating
22:20
bugs is so wonderful. You
22:22
can go and get, you can create these
22:24
things like you can, but so once we
22:26
get the supply chain up and running on
22:28
these cactus bugs, we're good
22:30
to go then. I guess we're good
22:32
to go at that point. And
22:34
we are already using this in a
22:36
bunch of foods. This isn't like
22:38
a brand new thing. This is one
22:40
of the main alternatives to... red
22:42
number 40. So eat the bugs, eat
22:44
the bugs in your Skittles. I
22:47
don't know. I'm not too enthused,
22:50
frankly, about that switch off. But, you
22:52
know, again, people should be able to
22:54
have the choices and eat all the bugs that they desire.
22:56
Triple eight, 727 Beck is the number.
23:02
This is Glenn
23:04
Beck. Now, maybe
23:06
you want to stay away from eating bugs.
23:08
Maybe you're thinking maybe you eat something
23:10
a little. little more traditionally American. Maybe you're
23:12
seeing the meat at the grocery store
23:14
that you're buying and you're like, I don't
23:16
think I want that and prices are
23:19
going to go on way up and the
23:21
labels are confusing. And half the time
23:23
you're not even sure if the chicken you're
23:25
buying is from America for just kind
23:27
of maybe vacation here once. I don't know.
23:29
If it's if you're kind of going
23:31
through that, you might want good ranchers.
23:33
They source 100 % of American American meat.
23:36
This is no mystery labels, no imported
23:38
junk pretending to be local. We're
23:40
talking better beef, better chicken, better everything. It's
23:42
all from American farms and ranches and it
23:44
shows up right at your door. You
23:46
don't have to do anything weird like barter
23:48
with a butcher or learn what mechanically separated means
23:50
or you know you don't have to deal
23:52
with any of the crazy stuff they're trying
23:54
to pull on you these days. You just pick
23:56
up a box, they ship it frozen and
23:59
packed you know like it's from Fort Knox and
24:01
then you got a freezer full of high
24:03
quality meat that didn't cost you or your sanity
24:05
or your savings. If you're

25:55
don't know where they're going to do
25:57
it. I know there's a lot of talk
25:59
beforehand, because there are some incredible shots
26:01
you can get when it comes to just
26:04
an amazing look of an interview inside
26:06
that building, obviously. And I know Glenn.
26:08
Glenn loves his sets. Glenn loves
26:10
his, he loves his cinematography. He
26:13
he's very focused on the look
26:15
of the interview I just say you
26:18
know Glenn like you know if
26:20
you're concerned about the look of the
26:22
interview perhaps a few push -ups you
26:24
know what I mean I'm just
26:26
saying Here have this nice plate of
26:28
of bugs that are look like
26:31
red dye it should take some of
26:33
that it's natural I
26:35
wanted he mentioned some of the
26:37
craziness going on in the city,
26:39
you know homelessness is a massive
26:41
problem there now and a lot
26:43
of mental illness on the streets
26:45
as Glenn mentioned a lot of
26:47
mental illness inside of the capital
26:49
as well and a lot of
26:51
corruption there too if you remember
26:53
the story of Bob Menendez he
26:55
was the Democratic senator from New
26:57
Jersey and was there forever was
26:59
accused of You know credibly over
27:01
many many crimes for a long
27:03
time and Democrats just kept put
27:05
him in office and put him
27:07
in office and put him in
27:09
office Eventually got to the place
27:11
where it was completely ridiculous for
27:13
him to stay. He was accused
27:15
of accepting bribes including Gold bars
27:18
famously. Oh, yes cash a luxury
27:20
car in exchange for political favors
27:22
They had found over four hundred
27:24
and eighty thousand dollars in cash
27:26
hidden in clothing and in closets
27:29
Plus, I love this 13 gold bars in his
27:31
home. How many gold bars do you have in
27:33
your home right now, Jeff? He would just
27:35
right now. If you get estimated, you don't have
27:37
to give me an exact number, obviously. It was
27:39
just estimate the number of probably probably close
27:41
to zero. Really? I don't to go
27:43
out on a limb and say there might be, you know, less
27:46
than zero. Less than zero. You may owe
27:48
a gold bar to a couple of people. This
27:51
was these are business interests. You
27:53
know, people had interest in with
27:55
from Egypt and across the world.
27:57
Oh, yeah. In return, he helped
27:59
secure some arms deals. He's
28:02
allegedly was trying to influence
28:04
US foreign policy. He
28:06
was indicted in September 2023 for
28:08
the bribery and the fraud and the
28:10
acting as a foreign agent. He
28:12
was hit with additional charges in
28:14
early 2024. They had actually traced
28:17
the gold bar serial numbers to
28:19
previous robberies. Now
28:21
they don't think he actually
28:23
robbed any banks. No, no, no,
28:25
but but Seemingly the one
28:27
of the businessmen who was alleged
28:29
of trying to bribe him
28:31
was involved in the he was
28:34
still a senator now He
28:36
didn't leave the the senator until
28:38
I think after he was
28:40
convicted. Yeah, because he kept it
28:42
eventually turned against him the
28:44
vibes You know people like Federman
28:46
were on it right away
28:48
saying like you this guy's got
28:50
to resign But but most
28:52
of the Democrats kind of just shut their
28:54
mouth on it eventually got to the point where
28:56
it was so ridiculous They had to get
28:58
him out of there and he threatened to maybe
29:00
run as an independent and didn't really go
29:02
down that road so now He was on trial
29:05
And he was convicted, but his wife
29:07
was also involved in this, right, Jeffy?
29:09
Correct. And they split up the trial
29:11
because the wife had breast cancer. And
29:14
that originally his defense was, oh yeah,
29:16
my wife has breast cancer. She did
29:18
it all. She was all
29:20
her. It was. He really did push it
29:22
off on her initially, right? Now,
29:24
again, he's going to prison. He's
29:26
going to prison in June. He asked
29:28
the judge after he was found guilty
29:31
to postpone. him going to
29:33
prison because he wanted to help
29:35
in his wife's trial, which was
29:37
nice of him. Very nice him.
29:39
He wanted to be a supportive
29:41
husband. I need to help her
29:43
through her trial. Yeah. He didn't come to
29:45
trial once. Her trial
29:47
went on for several weeks, not
29:50
once. Now, maybe he was helping her out
29:52
on the side at home. I don't know. Wait
29:54
a minute. So he got the
29:56
prison time delayed to help her. in
29:58
the trial, but they didn't go to trial.
30:00
Never showed up once. Not one time.
30:02
Not even like the first day you show
30:04
up with your arm around, oh, I'm
30:06
just super supportive of my wife. He just
30:08
didn't come at all. That's correct. Now,
30:10
she has been found guilty of bribery, conspiracy,
30:12
and obstruction of justice charges. And she's
30:15
going to be sentenced about the same time
30:17
as he goes to prison. And she's
30:19
probably going to get about the same amount
30:21
of time that he gets. So she
30:23
was really involved in this. Absolutely. There
30:25
were times there was
30:27
one There was
30:30
one insurance broker that was
30:32
having a criminal probe against them,
30:34
and he gave her a
30:36
car to make sure that Bob
30:38
Goldbar Menendez takes care of
30:40
the criminal probe. Because
30:42
there's records of he testified
30:45
and said that he gave her
30:47
a down payment on the
30:49
car. She called hubby and said,
30:51
hey, look at my new
30:53
car. And then she was in
30:55
another meeting, I think, with the Egyptians, although
30:57
I'm not sure when this meeting was at
30:59
a dinner party, and she was just like,
31:01
what else can the love of my life
31:03
do for you today? I
31:06
mean, so she was definitely pushing
31:08
Bob into doing it. Absolutely. And
31:10
I did not know this. One
31:12
quick thing about when they found all
31:14
the cash stuff in the house.
31:16
It said that, including inside the former
31:19
senator's official government windbreaker, I didn't
31:21
know they had official government windbreaker. Is
31:23
that part of the perks package
31:25
guess so. You get a government
31:27
windbreaker? Don't keep cashing it at the house,
31:29
though. I have heard some of these congressmen
31:31
break wind often. So I don't know if
31:33
that has anything to do, especially
31:35
with the guy with the super high pants. Oh,
31:38
yeah, from New York. Yeah, from New York. What's
31:40
that? I can't think of his name. He's the guy
31:42
that they say is the worst smelling. The worst
31:44
offender. Yeah, congressman. I can see him. Yes, I can
31:47
see him, too, because his. Pulls his pants way
31:49
up. They're jacked up to his nipples. What is it
31:51
again? No, not Barney Frank. He's
31:54
a former congressman. Why can't I think
31:56
of a guy? Anyway, we'll get the
31:58
name here in a second. You know who he is. You
32:00
absolutely know who he is. I can't think of a stupid
32:02
name. But this is a fascinating thing. It wasn't like she
32:04
got a Toyota Corolla either. It was a Mercedes. No,
32:06
Mercedes Benz, yeah. So she got that. Anyway,
32:08
it's just fascinating. She's guilty now. And
32:11
she gets sentenced about the time that he
32:13
goes to prison. Both of them are done. And
32:15
it was fascinating to me, especially since
32:17
he tried to throw her under the
32:20
bus. And then he gets found guilty.
32:22
And then he talks the judge into
32:24
postponing him showing up for prison because
32:26
he's going to help her with her
32:28
trial and he doesn't show up. He's
32:30
a good guy. Good guy. By the
32:32
way, Jerry Nadler is the name we
32:34
were thinking of. People
32:36
were screaming at the radios. I apologize. Jerry
32:38
Nadler. It is
32:40
interesting. He was accused as
32:42
being the smelliest member of Congress. Yeah. There
32:44
were a number of reports that Jerry was
32:48
I forget the term of him
32:50
like Think of a firecracker going
32:52
off down the aisle in Congress.
32:54
Okay. He would just come along
32:56
as a Carpet bomb. Yeah, he
32:58
had a little bit of a
33:00
flatulence Yeah, is was the accusation.
33:02
I will say it would be
33:04
an interesting change in our society
33:06
And I don't know how America
33:08
would change but I think it
33:10
would change dramatically if we had
33:12
like smello vision on TV where
33:15
when we watched C -SPAN,
33:18
you could smell what these people smelled like.
33:20
I think there'd be a big change
33:22
in this country. I think a lot of
33:24
the people who are currently in Congress
33:26
would be defeated. I don't disagree with you,
33:28
except you know that's not what we're
33:30
going to be using it for. Yeah
33:33
on television yeah watching other things
33:35
probably I none of it's good
33:37
none of it nothing nothing's positive
33:39
by the way they're not the
33:42
only relationship that's having some problems
33:44
I mentioned this a little bit
33:46
earlier our friend Kilmar a Brego
33:48
Garcia the Maryland father the Maryland
33:50
father yes I don't know if
33:52
he was father of the year
33:55
although I will assume that the
33:57
Democrats will be giving him that
33:59
award any day now But
34:01
he, of course, was
34:03
a suspected MS -13
34:05
gang member. He was
34:07
here in the country illegally. He
34:10
waited five, some reports,
34:12
I'm saying five years, some
34:14
are seven, to actually say,
34:16
well, he needed asylum. And
34:19
he needed asylum, Jeffy, because
34:21
his mother's papusa stand had
34:23
been harassed by a gang.
34:27
What are you going to do? This is why he couldn't go back
34:29
home. What are you going to do? You can't go back home.
34:31
Now, the issue with that claim, a couple
34:33
issues with that claim. I'll be honest with you, there's
34:35
a couple of them. Number one, the Popusist stand closed
34:37
a long time ago, no longer exists. So
34:39
it would be odd that he couldn't
34:41
go back to El Salvador because his
34:43
Popusist stand was being attached, which by
34:45
the way, he left his mom there.
34:48
So the gang's coming after his mom.
34:50
And he left. He leaves, leaves his
34:52
mom in the Popusist stand there. Doesn't
34:54
care about them. Because
34:56
they can't pay the protection money or something. That's
34:58
close. Also, the actual gang
35:01
in El Salvador also doesn't
35:03
really exist anymore because Bukele came
35:05
in and got rid of
35:07
all the gangs. So,
35:09
the gangs aren't there, the pupusas aren't
35:11
there, but he has to stay here.
35:13
That's what we're supposed to believe. Well,
35:16
yeah. For
35:18
what? For his asylum, and I
35:20
know it's not asylum, for his... Yeah,
35:22
it was a different type of
35:24
asylum claim, but it was some sort
35:26
of preventing a departure, essentially. There's
35:28
some strange term, and I can't remember
35:30
the name, but it's like asylum.
35:33
That was one of the reasons that
35:35
he couldn't go back. Right. That's
35:37
what he said delaying. Yeah. Yeah. So
35:39
they, they, when they, he was
35:41
going to claim asylum and they said,
35:43
well, you have to do that
35:45
within the first year that you're here.
35:47
So they give us a nice
35:49
window of a year. You can come
35:52
here, set up your life, uh,
35:54
you know, go through a whole little
35:56
league season. I mean, you can do a
35:58
lot of stuff. And then by one
36:00
year, you have to say, by the way,
36:02
the only reason I'm here is because
36:04
with my mom's pupus stand, which by the
36:06
way, I mentioned this already, I think
36:08
earlier in the week, but, uh, it was
36:11
around this time of day, we were
36:13
talking about the pupus. a few like last
36:15
week and I immediately had to order
36:17
papusas on Uber Eats. I immediately went on
36:19
and ordered papusas to be delivered immediately
36:21
after the show and they were tremendous. I
36:24
had never had them before. I don't
36:26
know how to describe it. He's like kind of
36:28
like corn sort of like they're not like tortillas. They're
36:30
like thicker. And they're kind of on
36:32
both sides, almost like a sandwich. And in the middle,
36:34
I got like cheese and jalapenos. Oh, my, it
36:36
was incredible, Geoffie. Like, I was changing. to view you
36:38
eating this on your YouTube channel. I didn't want
36:40
to eat in front of people on YouTube. But I
36:42
did want to give the full food review. Let's
36:45
put it this way. If you're in a
36:47
gang currently, and you're looking to harass a particular
36:49
type of business, papoosas might be a good
36:51
target. Because you might get free papoosas. And they're
36:53
delicious. And they're
36:55
like $4, Jeffy. Oh, that's not bad.
36:57
This is an incredible value. That's not
36:59
bad. I don't know how we're just
37:01
discovering this. Most of the country maybe
37:04
has discovered it, but I just did.
37:06
So I'm all in on papusas. So
37:08
he is saying he wants to
37:10
stay here. We're like,
37:12
OK, this is crazy. It's
37:15
time for you to leave. We want to
37:17
send him out of there. And as all this
37:19
is going back and forth, the Democrats kind
37:21
of adopt him as a mascot. This
37:24
MS -13 alleged
37:26
member, a guy who
37:28
has all these things going on there,
37:30
highly questionable in his life, certainly seemed
37:32
to have lied to the American government
37:34
to stay here. kids. But he's got
37:36
a wife and kids. He becomes Maryland
37:39
father, not MS -13 member, Maryland father.
37:41
Every time you hear it, Maryland father,
37:43
Maryland man, a Maryland father. This
37:45
is the nicest guy in the world, apparently. And
37:47
the left adopts him as this sort of like, cause
37:50
celeb mascot. In
37:53
the middle of all this an
37:55
accusation comes out that apparently his wife
37:57
because he's just a father and
37:59
a husband apparently had filed for a
38:01
restraining order against him based on
38:03
domestic violence. Now, normally that doesn't mean
38:05
you lose your mascot status, but
38:07
not with the left. They're going to
38:09
keep adopting him. Because she took
38:11
it away anyway. It never was. It
38:13
never did go fully to effect.
38:16
And now her reasoning is this. In
38:18
2021, she filed a protective order
38:20
against her husband alleging domestic violence. In
38:22
a statement last week, however, she
38:24
said she did so, quote, in
38:26
case things escalated, end
38:28
quote, adding that they never
38:30
did. There you go. There
38:32
you go. You're good. Now, I don't know how many
38:35
times, Jeffy, I know you've been on the wrong side
38:37
of many restraining orders over the years. I don't know
38:39
how many of them were preemptive. But
38:41
apparently, that's a thing. It is a thing.
38:43
It is a thing. So there we go.
38:45
A lot of people are happy about it.
38:47
I'll tell you that. Yeah, she also said,
38:49
well, he's alive, and that's good. That
38:52
I'm sure that is good. It is good. All
38:54
right, triple eight seven twenty seven B. C. K. is
38:56
the phone number. There comes a
38:58
moment in every adult's life when you realize
39:00
pain is no longer an occasional visitor.
39:02
It's just kind of part of the team.
39:04
And you wake up maybe sore from
39:06
everything from sleeping. You pull something in your
39:09
neck just trying to look at a
39:11
cloud. It's kind of pathetic. You walk into
39:13
your kitchen, your knee clicks twice. Jeff,
39:15
how many times does your knee click when you
39:17
take a walk into every day? Every day. Every
39:19
day over and over and over again. If
39:22
this kind of sounds familiar, relief
39:24
factor is something you need to know
39:26
about. It's not a drug, it's a
39:29
daily supplement. It's developed by doctors and
39:31
it targets pain caused by inflammation, the
39:33
kind that shows up uninvited and overstays
39:35
its welcome. Inflammation is responsible for most
39:37
of the pain that we feel in
39:39
our daily lives and a lot of
39:41
that is a result of just long
39:43
-term issues and you can knock that
39:45
out with relief factor. Look,
39:47
if your idea of an extreme sport is
39:49
putting on socks, without sitting
39:51
down, which I will say, it's
39:53
getting harder and harder these days. It's harder
39:56
and harder. It might be time
39:58
to give Relief Factor a shot. In
40:00
1995, you can get a three -week
40:02
quick start from Relief Factor. Less than
40:04
a dollar a day, 1 -800 -4 -RELEAF. It's
40:06
1 -800, the number four relief, or
40:08
visit them at relieffactor.com. It's relieffactor.com. More
40:12
Glenn Beck coming up
40:14
next. Let
40:41
me tell you about something that the media would rather
40:44
you ignore. You've heard their whole
40:46
January 6th coverage. It's been delightful. They've
40:48
done a great job, of course, in
40:50
the mainstream media covering that. But
40:52
now, let's see what they're trying to
40:54
hide. The final episode of Blaze TV's
40:56
in -depth investigation just dropped yesterday, and
40:58
it kind of blows the narrative wide open,
41:00
particularly on one individual, officer
41:03
Harry Dunn. We've got Capitol
41:05
surveillance footage, conflicting timelines, serious
41:07
questions about the story from
41:09
his book and interviews. Harry
41:11
Dunn was kind of seen as this big hero
41:13
of January 6th by the media. I
41:16
mean, you watch this, Steve Baker's the guy
41:18
hosting it. There's all sorts of
41:20
conflicts, all sorts of things where it seems
41:22
like he just completely made it up. Yeah,
41:24
and so out now. Those are called lies.
41:26
Lies, yeah, I guess. It certainly seemed that
41:28
way to me. But you
41:30
judge, subscribe today, blazeTV.com slash J6,
41:32
blazeTV.com slash J6. You can watch
41:34
the full investigation from the very
41:36
beginning. Definitely worth your time as
41:39
Steve Baker was about to be
41:41
thrown in prison until he was
41:43
pardoned for his coverage that day. worth
41:45
your time to check out. Also, of course,
41:48
tonight is Glenn's interview with Donald Trump. We've mentioned
41:50
it. If you go there, subscribe,
41:52
you'll get that tonight as well. We'll play
41:54
some, I think, tomorrow as well on the show
41:56
and get you caught up to the important
41:58
parts. But you want to see the full thing.
42:00
You want to go subscribe to Blaze TV.
42:02
Now, Jeff, you watch every single thing that's ever
42:04
aired on television, every new show you've watched
42:06
before I've even heard of it. Did
42:09
you watch the Oklahoma City bombing? You know,
42:11
I put that in my queue. It is in
42:13
your queue. Okay, good. In fact, yesterday, because
42:15
I went, oh, I gotta watch that. Ah, gotta
42:17
be this weekend. Okay. Yeah, I've got other
42:19
shows to watch. I to the director on my
42:21
show, Students America, last week. I kind of
42:23
liked it. They didn't try to make some big
42:25
point. They didn't try to tie it to
42:28
Donald Trump or something like you might expect in
42:30
some of these documentaries. was just kind of
42:32
taking you there and you and interviewing the people
42:34
who were there. So that's worth
42:36
checking out as well. Student of America,
42:38
tonight, don't miss that, and Glenn TV with
42:40
President Trump.
