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

protection, and free adjustments

0:20

for life. To find your next

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

1:21

five star reviews. It's

1:23

AmmoSquared.com. AmmoSquared.com, check

1:25

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

18:01

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

26:08

Glenn loves his sets. Glenn loves

26:10

26:13

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.
