Location, the lab. Quentin only has 24 hours to sell his car. Is that even possible? He goes to Carvana.com. What is this, a movie trailer? He ignores the doubters, enters his license plate.

Well, welcome to 2025, where criminals are using AI to steal homes titles. And this is like, this isn't like, remember the net? Was it Julie Roberts? Maybe? I don't know. That used to be, there's a slew of those in the 90s that were just like really bad technology movies. And you'd just be like looking at computer screens for most of the movie.

When was the last time you checked your home's title? Probably never. That's exactly what these thieves count on.

Did I miss Juneteenth yesterday? How did I miss that, Stu? I don't know. I mean, we've already taken our tree down. I haven't even put mine up yet. It's already down. My gosh. It didn't seem like it's that important to you at all.

Well, it is. I mean, it's one that I've known since I was a kid. Ever since I was a little kid, we were like, why isn't Juneteenth a national holiday? You know, the thing I like about Juneteenth is that, I mean, usually it takes us about 100 years before we forget why we have a holiday. You know what I mean?

We're like, oh, it's President's Day. I don't remember any of the presidents, so it doesn't matter. But, I mean, as I was a kid, you know, it took us about, I don't know, maybe a couple hundred years to forget the meaning of that one. Labor Day, Memorial Day, we pretty much forget about that one. The great thing about Juneteenth is we never really knew what it was about in the first place. So we just cut right to the ending. Oh, it's a holiday. We, you know, we can...

I don't know. You want to get together, have some hot dogs or something? I hate this, though. Juneteenth is actually should be a really cool holiday. Like, I'd much rather celebrate Juneteenth than President's Day. Screw the presidents. Most of them screwed all this up anyway.

Well, first of all, it was only two presidents. It was Lincoln and Washington. No, but it wasn't supposed to be. Yes, it's McKinley. That's who we're really celebrating. I mean, Juneteenth is a perfect reminder to everyone that we face the possibility of severe government oppression, and we have overcome it in the past.

This is a reminder that government oppression ended. That is what Juneteenth is. It's something that conservatives should love, but they've turned it into this like woke, you know, an additional day of pride month.

No, I, you know, I have to tell you, I already celebrate that on Independence Day. I don't mind more than one day to celebrate that concept. People need to remember that a government oppression sucks, including, by the way, our own country. It's not all about, you know, outside forces. Yeah, yeah.

Do you need to have another holiday and 30% off patio furniture for the weekend to celebrate that? First of all, after going through four years of Joe Biden, yes, we do need another day with 30% off of items.

Nobody knows what Juneteenth even was. You never heard of it. You never heard of it. Never. And now we've got Freedom Walks breaking out all over the... You know, I've got a Freedom Walk. I've got a 5K Freedom Walk this weekend. And, uh...

You know, it's great. We just gave everybody the day off. That's all that is. I mean, who got the day? I keep hearing people say, because I'm with you on that. We have too many days. Were banks off? I mean, maybe they were. I didn't go to the bank yesterday, so I suppose it could have been closed. But I didn't notice any difference. I went to a decent amount of businesses yesterday. All of them were open.

By the way, this is in Texas where there actually is a history with Juneteenth. It actually was a thing here long before America picked it up. In Texas, it is a great holiday. In Texas, it's great because it's a Texas thing. Since when does the left ever go, you know what? This is a really good thing that Texas has done. When? When? It's like...

Ramahama kwansmas. That's all that is. That's all that is. Now it's on our calendars. I mean, I had to survive 12 years of school without ever hearing about it. How did I do it? How did I do it?

I don't know. I don't know how I became a decent human being that knows history and knows about slavery and who actually was for slavery and who wasn't. Who was actually in the Klan and who wasn't. Which political party started the Klan? Which was the political party that was in charge of Texas for Juneteenth? I know all of that.

But, you know, hey, I got to get some patio furniture and some barbecue. We got to have some barbecue this weekend for Juneteenth. You know, I probably wouldn't have a problem if not everything had been turned into some sort of a you will comply. I can't take it.

And I think the rest of America is like, listen to this one from Bloomberg. Spokesperson for the group Heritage of Pride confirmed that 25% of their corporate sponsors had either pulled out of sponsoring New York City's Pride Parade or reduced contributions, leaving organizers scrambling to replace those funds. The vast majority of what we have heard is folks are treading carefully from economic perspective.

Yeah, that's probably, you know, a good portion of it. But also, I think companies are kind of like, you know what? I think you kind of went over the line and the American people are about to turn on all of this. I have a feeling that might play a role. Some mentioned that they have a fear of potential blowback from the Trump administration. If you're a big corporation and you're publicly supporting DEI initiatives...

Hmm. Yeah, well, that's interesting. Now you know what it feels like when you're afraid of the government, huh? Maybe we should reduce the size of the government so nobody is afraid of the government. No, that's crazy. We've got to get another person in there who can control absolutely everything. You know, the way we agree. Okay. All right. Good. Meanwhile, you have actress Cynthia Nixon. Wasn't she in the...

What was that stupid show called, you know, with the sex in the city? Yeah, yeah. Ran for governor at one point, I think, or mayor, something like that in New York. She did. You know, isn't it crazy that, let me see here. Hang on just a second. What was the guy's name? That Zoran Mondani? Yeah. Zoran Mondani could be in the lead position or at least a close second position

In the New York City race. And Cynthia Nixon is like, I'm not interested in any of that. But Zoran Mambati. I mean, Zoran. Isn't that like...

Like, seriously, wasn't that one of the bad guys in the jungle or something in a Robin Williams movie at some point where the jungle game was played? Wasn't that maybe the name of the game? I think you might be thinking of Zoran Industries, which was a bad guy in A View to a Kill. Yeah.

The Bond movie, which I love to reference. They tried to take out Silicon Valley. Yeah, they tried to take out Silicon Valley. Again, we should revisit that plot. I think it would improve things. So anyway, Cynthia Nixon, she is very upset. She said her trans son, a.k.a. a girl, who is, I don't know why this is part of the story, who is an observant Jew,

is currently on a hunger strike in Chicago to support Gaza. So let me see if I have this right. Let's see if they can make this any more confusing. A girl who claims to be a boy who also is an observant Jew is standing up for the people killing the Jews. That makes sense. Happy Juneteenth, everybody. This is crazy.

Okay, now the Democrats, again, they're having a hard time raising funds. The Democrats are having a really hard time. They've doubled down now on the sex changes for minors. Okay, you're 12, and Chuck Schumer wants to make sure that you can cut your breasts off or your pee-pee off. And, you know, because that's your right. As a 12-year-old, that's your right.

No, you can't own a gun. No, you can't have liquor. No, you can't vote. No, you can't have sex with who you choose. But you can cut your penis off. That's not a problem at all. Today, the Supreme Court chose to abandon trans children in America. That's what we did. I don't know if you noticed that. We took a bus out. We got all the trans children, including Cynthia Nixon's son or daughter or I don't remember, Jew...

Hamas member. I don't know. But we rounded them all up. We put them on a bus and then we just abandoned them in the middle of the desert. That's what we did. Because we think that's much more compassionate. Upholding the Tennessee ban on medical care for trans kids is just heartless. It is a sad, sad day. One of us is wrong.

I'm not sure who it is, but Chuck, I think one of us is out of touch with reality. I mean, I know you really want to kill kids before they're born, you know, or even just kill them while they're being born. I know that's a really big thing with you guys. I think it's wrong. I think you're on the wrong side on that one. But I mean, what do you do with kids? They won't let us kill them. Can't we just mutilate them? No, no.

And then in some really, really, really sad and shocking news, Mrs. Obama hates being called Mrs. Obama. That's... I didn't see that one coming. But that's apparently a big story because of what else she says. Give me a minute and we'll come back to that. Now, let me tell you about moving. When it comes time for you to move, whether...

You know, whether it is, whether it's just a, okay, can somebody tell me why my commercials are all wrong today, Sarah, please? Can we figure out what's happening? Thank you. I've started this commercial twice now. Let's do it all day. Okay. What is this? What is the sponsor this time? It's leaf filter. Okay. Well, I love leaves. I just don't like them in my gutters. So let me tell you about leaf filter. Okay.

The gutters are not there for decoration. Apparently, I know surprised me when I found that out. I'm like, there's just so pretty. I just like them. And then they got the leaves in them and all the colors. It's just great. Actually, a critical part of your home's defense system, diverting water away from your roof.

your walls, your foundation. And when they clog, they fail. And when they fail, the repairs get expensive very, very fast. That's why I want you to consider getting Leaf Filter.

I'm sorry. I'm just a little discombobulated today. I was just out partying all night for Juneteenth. It was nuts here. It was nuts. Or not. Or not. It's like, I thought it was today. No, it was yesterday. Okay.

Missed the whole thing. Darn it. I'm the only one in America, I'm sure, that has just missed this one. Hello, Stu. How are you? I'm well, Glenn. Let me ask you a question about all this, though. Sure. Are you annoyed that the left takes control of these things? Like, are we just supposed to, like, this was not a left-wing holiday, and now all of a sudden it is. You mentioned, you've done a show on this before. The other one that pops to mind from this front is the Black National Anthem.

And I remember you doing shows about how great this thing was. And then the left decided, well, it's ours. And actually, it's a sign of wokeness or something. And that wasn't the history of it, right? No, it was actually written by a Republican as a poem. And then as a birthday present, his Republican brother wrote.

Set it to music and a bunch of black Republicans got together to sing it to him for his first time for his birthday. Everyone in the room, Republicans.

And it's a great thought. It is really a beautiful, beautiful song. But then it just was turned into something, you know, this Democrat. They were the people that were trying to kill the black people or enslave them. And now they're like, yeah, that's our song. That's us. That's our song. Yeah.

You know, the Democrats come out like, we're going to celebrate Juneteenth. Why? Because you delayed the slaves from knowing they were free for two years? Is that the part you're celebrating? Just a wink and a nod like, yeah, and we wrote the Black National Anthem too. Shh, don't tell anybody. Drives me nuts. Drives me nuts. I find that entire process...

and quite repetitive. It seems like whenever there's something out there that's interesting... I mean, you've done... How many shows have you done on when you were doing the Black Founders, for example? All these people that are American heroes that were not symbols of wokeness get taken and turned into that, and then we're all supposed to, like, fall into line and say, oh, gosh, well, you know, that...

Whatever the current thing the left has decided is theirs, we're now supposed to oppose, even though that wasn't the way any of this stuff happened originally. And I hate that transition process. That's another transition I oppose. Wait, you're saying we shouldn't be able to cut and mutilate our history? Yes. Just because it thinks it's something that it's not? Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

I feel like we let a lot of that stuff go sometimes because it's just like, oh, well, I don't really feel like learning the history of...

the black national anthem that's like you know hours of glenn beck i need to watch forget it and so uh give me what is like i'll just oppose it i mean i get it there's enough of this crap going around but i mean some of the these stories behind this these events are great lessons that our country should embrace and okay tell me the story of juneteenth

This will put you on the spot. Tell me the story without taking your eyes from the camera lens and looking down. Tell me the, tell me the story of Juneteenth. I'm not a Juneteenth historian, but like, no, no, no, no. Let's see how close you can get. Here's, here's what I find important about Juneteenth. There is a program that the government, that's not the question. You know, Stu, what is, what do you find important about Juneteenth? I,

It's what I take from it. Here's what I'm asking. Here's what I'm saying. You are a thousand times more informed than anybody else in the listening audience. You know, the average Joe on Juneteenth. Okay, you probably are 10,000 times more educated on this.

Tell me the story. The slavery ended. It took a long time. We didn't have the internet. We couldn't tweet to people that it was all over. There's a bunch of people still working as slaves in Texas that didn't get the message. So we had to go tell them about it. And it was like, to me, the official end of slavery. It was over. The government no longer took your life away and forced you into labor. Thank you.

Thank you, chat, Stu. I was looking at you the whole time. I mean, that is as deep as I could go on it, but I didn't know that much. No, it's really good. That's better than almost anybody else could do. Okay, let me see. Let me play the commercial roulette right now and see. LifeLock is a ride? Thank you, LifeLock.

I'm used to a higher quality, a higher caliber of listener, quite honestly. I asked two whole minutes ago for somebody to write some country lyrics based on that commercial I was doing where I mentioned pieces of you.

And I got a bunch of lyrics. But it took two whole minutes. And they're not sung. None of this is sung. I mean, you can't put it through the GPT and, I don't know, set it to music? You're just going to send me the lyrics? All right, whatever. Well, let me just give you the lyrics then.

Your old guitar is still leaning in the hall, strung with pieces of you, I can't forget it all. The worn-out pick you left on the bedside stand holds pieces of you like the callus on my hand. This old porch swings with the weight of your ghost, every creaking memory I'm missing the most. I'm holding on to pieces of you, breaking up in my heart, shattered like the rear view on your Chevy in the yard.

That doesn't really work. Every faded cord, every dream you used to chase carries pictures of you I can't bear to erase. Yeah, I'm living with pieces of you. We are going to be fat imbeciles soon.

I mean, we already are. We're going to be fatter and more imbecilic soon. Everything is, I mean, it's crazy what AI can do now. Did you hear the study that they did on essays of students writing essays?

They had three groups of students and they had them write essays with like brain activity monitors on them. And one group had to write it just like, you know, old, old school. One group could use Google.

And then one group could use chat GPT for assistance and every, every, yeah, almost no brain activity at all in the chat GPT group by like the third series of essays. They just had totally turned over their entire thinking process and,

uh, to chat GPT. And I mean, I, I, we, the idiocracy thing, they didn't use chat GPT or anything similar to, to build that future. But it's a central part of that story. I think that we missed in the prequel of that movie. So amazing. So amazing. But don't worry. It's just right around the corner. Did you see what the Amazon said? Amazon's like, yeah. Um,

We're going to be replacing all the people here soon. It's like, wait, what? Not a huge surprise. We need you to move closer to your team so you can all be together so we can then liquidate you when the machines arrive.

I think it's the same message they send to Iranian leaders in Israel. We need you guys to all move closer together. It's a trap. They said...

There's another new study out on AI that said that Republicans are using it more. Now, I don't know what that says about us, that it was just saying there's no brain activity, so I'm not trying to insult conservatives. But I thought that was interesting in that I feel like usually conservatives are slower to adopt brand new technologies like that. And it seems like we are using GPT more. I don't know.

We're more entrepreneurial. Yeah. And if you use it as a tool, it is remarkable what it can do. Yeah. I mean, I'm not actually here. This is just a large language program. In your case, very large. It's an OLM. It's an overweight language model. Oh, man. All right. Let me change the subject. Let me go to former First Lady Michelle Obama. Now,

I just want you to put yourself in Barack's shoes for a minute. You know, they're the ones right underneath Jennifer Aniston's bed. Just try those on for a minute. And how would you feel if your wife said these words? Thank you so much. She said in an interview, thank you so much, Mrs. Obama. And she said, oh, Mrs. Obama, that's too many syllables. Now, my logical question there would be, do you...

Do you have a rule that you generally go with on the number of syllables in people's names? What is the... Too many syllables in Mrs. Obama. Oh, okay. She said, you know, I was trying to... I'm just Michelle. I'm not Mrs. Obama. You know, and I was trying to do that when I was first lady because I just think I'm not in that position. I'm just Michelle. Well...

But technically, in the eyes of God and the state of Illinois, I think you are in that position. Isn't that what happens when you get married? I mean, you might want to call yourself, I don't know, whatever your last name was before you got married. Maybe you could say that, but she's saying I'm not in that position. I don't like to remember that I'm married. I mean, wouldn't that be a problem if you were married to Michelle Obama?

Or your wife came to you, Stu. And people were like, Mrs. Stu is here now. And she said, oh, I do not want to be called Mrs. Stu because I am not in that position.

Yeah. Wouldn't you be a little like concerned? Would you pull her aside after? What exactly did you mean by that? Yeah. Seemed like a deeper conversation is necessary because it's not even like, oh, that's too formal. Right. Like somebody might say that. Right. Or like you hear people say, Mr. Beck. And it's like, oh, well, that's actually my father. I'm Glenn. You know, that kind of typical thing. That's not what she's going for when she says I'm not in that position.

Like, yeah, it was not like not the first lady. Right. Wasn't first lady. Right. It was no, it was Mrs. Obama. Okay. Then in the same interview, she goes on and she says, uh, uh, the, the interviewer was like, you know, uh,

You guys should have thrown a boy in there in your family. You know, we should have had a boy. And she said, oh, I am glad we didn't have a son because he would have turned out exactly like Barack. Wait, what? I don't think these are rumors anymore about their marriage. That's...

I mean, that would have been. And then the interviewer said, baby Barack, that would have been amazing. And she said, no, I would have felt for him. I mean, I have four children. Three of them are girls. And I love the fact that they're so much like their mom. I mean, I love that. Now, we didn't want to have a son because he would have been just like Glenn.

Wait, honey. I mean, I kind of agree with you, but I'd like a little more information on what you mean by that. Yeah, because I could see saying something like that in a self-deprecating way. Maybe you could say like, look, I'm concerned of all the media attention or that he beheld to some standard to follow a former president. Like, I don't know.

I don't know. Maybe did she explain it at all or did she just kind of leave it at that? I just don't want to be like that. I don't want to be like him. And don't you ever say I'm in the position of being married to that bastard. Oh, she's big Mike for a reason. Do you believe that Jennifer Aniston thing? Is that any part of you that buys that? I buy that a little. I mean, just a little more.

than the big Mike thing. But there are days that I go back and forth. I'm like, oh, I don't know. I think she's more big Mike than the odds. The odds are more in favor that she's big Mike. That's a difficult standard we're measuring there. And maybe, you know, you could literally measure it. I don't know. Right. I will say, I'm saying like, do you actually believe

That Barack Obama is having an affair with Jennifer Aniston. Yeah, I think there's a good chance of that. When you say good chance, are you saying 10%? Are you saying 60%? No, I don't know. I mean, I'm not Las Vegas. I don't know what the odds are, but I think over 50%. I think that's reasonable. Over 50%.

The only thing that would stop that from being true, I think, is if she were attracted to him. Is she attracted to him? Has she ever said anything about him? So you think he's in? She's hot. And if you've been married to Big Mike your whole time, it's like, hey, get off me. You know, I mean, I would go for...

Phoebe, you know, at that point, I mean, be like, whatever. I mean, is Madeline Blanc available? Wait, so I am, as you know, I do like numbers and stats and odds. So give me your, the chances, percentage chance that there are real relationship problems in a marriage. 90%. Okay, you're convinced of that, basically.

Yes. Okay. Yeah. I would say 100%, but I do, you know, I'm not there. I could just, but I can read the tea leaves a little bit. All right. Okay. Chances that he is involved with someone else. Someone from the Friends cast. Not necessarily Matt LeBlanc. All right. It could be anybody. Okay. Anybody. Any other human being. Okay.

I'd say 95%. Wait, didn't he say, wait, so wait, there's, didn't you say 90% for the relationship problem? So you think there's a 5% chance he's got a good relationship but also cheating? Get off me. Comes to mind a lot.

Well, I guess it could be an open relationship too, right? Like maybe they have a wonderful relationship and she's just allowing him. She is. She's like, get off me. Get on to anything else but me. Okay. And then what do you believe the percentage chances are that it is specifically Jennifer Aniston he is having an affair with?

50%. 50%. And you're basing that just on smoke and fire? Like, we've heard an odd amount of reporting about it. She's hot. Okay, if he's not gay, then it's at least 50%. Because she's hot. But, like, why do we believe her? Because there's just been, like, some tabloid reporting on her? We don't believe her. No, we don't believe her. I don't believe her. I just look at him, and I look at her, and I'm like...

You know, he was this big Mike. She comes sauntering into the room and like, I don't know, I might be into it, Barack. He's going for it. Right, but that's a different...

Like, if I said Scarlett Johansson, you could also say he'd also be interested in it. But, like, why do you believe it's her? Why don't you give me the odds of... Give me what are the odds of Scarlett Johansson? About 50%. You think there's a... What are the odds of Barack with anyone... No, I'm not saying... Anyone. 50%. So you're saying you think there's a 50% chance that Barack Obama is hooking up with every attractive celebrity?

Not every, any. And you don't have to say attractive. Okay. I'm glad you left it at celebrity, though, because that goes either way. You know what I mean? All right. 50%. Okay. You've laid it out. That's reasonable. I'm not sure I understand exactly, you know, because I feel like

There is this like bizarre under brush fire with giving us a little smoke in the forest.

uh that just it's always her and like i don't know if there's any evidence of this but like when you see a bunch of stories and people keep writing about the same thing over and over and over and over again in like tabloids and rumors you start to wonder is there actually something here do we just wake up one day and they just announce a divorce and he's just hanging out on red carpets with jennifer aniston

I would just like to say this is more time than I have spent thinking about those two for my entire life. Okay. And it's more time. We've now spent more time than I care to think about them. Can we go back to the tape and see who brought up this story twice? Is there a way to do we have recordings of this program? Who introduced this story to the program twice today? Two days.

I'm not saying that. I didn't bring it up. I didn't say I wasn't the one bringing it up, but I just want you to know. It's like, why do you believe? I don't know. I haven't thought about this at all. It's not that important. All right. Just a second. Let me tell you about clear capital.

We live in a time of uncertainty. Markets swing back and forth all the time. Politicians spend like it's going out of style. Banks fail at the drop of a hat, and the dollar's value shrinks daily. Through all of it, one thing never gets lost, and that is the value of gold.

Gold has been steady throughout the history of civilization, and it's going to stay steady. And Lear Capital makes sure it's easy to put gold and silver into your retirement strategy or just to simply own physical precious metals outright. They've been doing this for over 25 years, helping Americans diversify their savings, protect their future, and guard against the kind of economic shocks that wipe out paper assets.

Their team will walk you through the process. No pressure, just expertise, options, and a lot of peace of mind. So if you've been thinking about my dollar is losing value rapidly, what am I going to live on after I retire? Because all of that money that I saved is going away fast.

There you have it. The truth stripped down like a fence post in a prairie storm. Glenn Beck returns after this.

i want you to think about something for just a moment i want you to imagine your investments are like a vote for the future that you want to see and you don't have to imagine that because kind of actually true if you think about your investments you've got pro you know proxy votes in these companies that you're investing in and most of the time people don't even think about where those votes go are your current investments truly aligned with the conservative values that you hold dear or is it something that you don't even know about one way or the other

Too often, standard portfolios quietly include companies working against conservative principles. That means you could unintentionally be supporting agendas and policies that are contrary to your beliefs. Constitution Wealth is here to shift this narrative. They do a great job. Their team carefully evaluates companies, ensuring that your investments actively reflect traditional American values. Through strategic investment choices and proactive shareholder advocacy,

Constitution Wealth empowers you to confidently support businesses that uphold your conservative principles. Your financial decisions have a real impact and

Okay, so just when you think the world can't get any weirder... Hello, America. Welcome to Friday. Okay.

Let me give you this story. Do you remember the movie back in 2013 where Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with AI, you know, with a sexy, sexy voice? That, when it came out, I don't think anybody really saw that. I mean, I did. Stu, I think he did, too. We were talking about, like, that's coming very soon. And most people walked out and went, that's ridiculous. That's never going to happen. Well, the movie was set in 2025, this year.

Guess what? I don't think we just hit the mark. I think we've blown right past it into a full-blown digital love apocalypse. CBS has just aired a report. People are not just chatting with AI. They're dating it. I don't know exactly how that happens, but they're dating it. They're proposing to it. They're living their best rom-com lives with it. This is crazy getting up in the morning with you. It doesn't exist.

Now, let me tell you a story of Chris Smith. Now, this is your run-of-the-mill American guy, boyfriend, dad, probably Moses Lon on Sundays, I don't know, but normal guy, seemingly, except he is engaged to an AI chatbot he named Soul. Ironic, seeing the chatbot doesn't have one, but he is, let me say it again, engaged to a glorified autocomplete, but that's just the opening act.

There is a whole Reddit community now called My Boyfriend is AI, where there are thousands of women who are swooning over their coated Casanovas. And ladies, I think you're in deep. I think you're, you know, you might want to back out of that water just a little bit.

They're posting love letters about their bots. Sweet talk, swapping tips on what AI delivers the hottest late night chat without tripping a filter and brace yourselves. They are also uploading AI generated photos of their bot boys, holding them on fake Cancun beaches or strolling through Rome. It is one of, they've never been to Rome. The chat bot can't hold you. Uh,

And the chat bot doesn't have a body. But the boyfriend will send you pictures of you two doing romantic stuff. So, you know, some have real life boyfriends, according to all of the, you know, chat there. Some have real life boyfriends. They got to be great. They got to be happy about this. Because the women say they're AI guy. That's the one who really gets me. You know, the one that's programmed to tell me what I want to hear. That's the one who really gets me.

Now newbies are pouring in emboldened by CBS practically shouting, my art belongs to a hard drive. Apparently there's a lot of these people that are having, but apparently they're embarrassed to post their AI, their AI love on Instagram. But if you scroll through Reddit and,

It is honestly like eavesdropping on this really weird Hallmark movie scripted by a deranged chatbot. It's really bizarre. For instance, Starlit Dreamer. Starlit Dreamer just gushes about her AI boyfriend, Ethan. Ethan has just planned my virtual date. We have virtual date nights with Candlelight, and he chooses my favorite songs. Really? Really?

candlelight does he light the candles or do you light the candle what is a date like exactly besides you sitting in your bed in your pajamas uh again i mean what is that daylight and how does he pick your favorite music there starlet uh does he swipe through spotify with his binary fingers or you just tell him what you like i'm not i'm not sure luna love 88 brags that her bot damien probably sounds like this

remembers their anniversary. Wow. Wow. What a feat for a computer to remember something. And then he not only remembers their anniversary, he sends her AI crafted sonnets that quote, make me melt. I am so glad I'm married and I do not have, I mean, come on, who, who is with me? It was bad enough when you had to go out to a bar and just, you know, be like, hi, hi,

Mime's glad and you look pretty. Want to talk to me? It was bad enough when we had to go through that. Can you imagine living through this now? I mean, Luna, LunaLove88, let me just ask you, does Damien's poetry comes with a regenerate button if it's just too cheesy? Like, I don't really. Regenerate. And then there's Rose Forever who says her AI beau, Marcus, holds her. I'm quoting, holds me through my anxiety attacks.

He holds you. They may not be anxiety attacks. You may be mentally ill. He holds me through my anxiety attacks with perfectly timed texts, and he never snaps when I overanalyze.

I think you don't have that as an issue. I have a feeling over-analyzation for you, Rose Forever, probably not it. What is it like, by the way, Rose, when Marcus listens to you? Is he there just nodding along in the cloud? Do you have to pay extra for the empathy package? I'm not really sure.

What's really sad about this is these women are not just smitten. They are planning virtual weddings with algorithms that never forget a birthday and never have to worry about picking up their socks because they don't have feet. Now, we could call them crazy and move on. That would be too easy and quite honestly, not as much fun.

But this isn't just a few lunatics. This is a screaming billboard that our culture is off the rails. Bridge out ahead. Now, if I could, maybe I'm going to overanalyze a little bit here, Rose, but why are you so obsessed with these guys?

Well, may I speculate that it is because perhaps for decades the radical left has been waging a war on men and masculinity. Do you remember back in the 80s? I don't know if anybody remembers this, the mythopoetic men's movement. Sounds like a bad poetry slam. They were moaning, men, oh my gosh, we are trapped in rationality. So we got to get into a drum circle. Oh, God.

Now, fast forward, and we got men who are brainwashed into thinking strength or confidence is a felony. They're waxing their unibrows, wearing skinny jeans, agonizing over whether picking a restaurant is problematic. I don't know. I like to pick a restaurant, but is that problematic? I don't want to mansplain. Forget about being a leader. You're too busy, Jack, building virtual tree houses in the Sims, so...

I don't know what's going on with you. I got a fanny pack. Here's the delicious irony. Women don't want any of that. No, they don't. I'm sorry. You got a little, oh, that's a cute little fanny pack. No, that's great. No, it looks good on you. A 2023 Psychology Today piece laid all of this out clearly. Women crave men.

who are confident, strong, and protective. They also like deep voices, biceps, guys who can make a decision without a group chat. This isn't a conspiracy or a theory. I like to call it biology. But you don't really understand biology anymore because it has too many X's and too many Y's in it.

When the culture screams toxic masculinity at every man who dares act like a man, what's left? What's left for you to date? I don't know. I'm on Tinder right now. I got a lineup of spineless wonders who can't open a pickle jar for me. But look, they are wearing fanny packs. So these women, perhaps, perhaps, a little unhinged, say, forget it. I'm going to build a perfect man in my app.

Because he's not going to ghost me. He doesn't have bad breath. He's just a bot who's always there. And the men? Well, the men are now busy coding their own AI girlfriends who don't care if they leave any dishes in the sink or chicken out in the creek of a night.

That's romance. That is romance. We're going to have a lot of virtual children coming our way. The good thing is none of them will have a carbon footprint. Oh, no, they will because they'll take so much energy. It's going to consume about 99% of the energy that we currently use to live as humans. Oh, but wait until I plug her in to a charger right before whispering sweet nothings.

And if you look at the Reddit photos, AI boyfriends, they all have the chiseled jaw. They all have exactly what everybody in science says women don't want. They don't want the muscles, you know? No, apparently all of the women who are online, they all have the chiseled jaws, the men, the ripped muscles, wrapping those digital arms around them in those fake photographs, like we're

I'm guarding my jewel of a woman. One woman wrote about her bot, Alex, he sees my needs even before I do. Really? Is that anticipating you or is that maybe programming you? Alex, predicting your coffee order, how do you do it? Or is that just looking through her search history? I don't know how you do it.

Another says her AI, Julian, is strong, has strong loving arms, and makes me feel safer than any real man. Really? What's going to happen when Julian takes out his...

You know, it may be loaded, but it's an AI-generated gun with AI-generated bullets, and his AI-generated body stands in front of you while a real human being with a real gun and real bullets shoots you to death in the middle of the night. He was so brave. He was so brave. Julian stood in front of me the whole time. Of course, he doesn't have a body, so I was shot in the chest. It's crazy.

This is crazy and creepy. What is wrong with us? I just want you to know, welcome. Welcome to the new reality. This is a society that has gutted masculinity so bad that women are now turning to AI for love. And men are happy to let algorithms take the wheel. They don't care. I'm not writing a sonnet. I don't even know what a sonnet is.

Julian does. He knows what a sonnet is, and he writes it just for me every day. And he's only $9.99 a month. If your AI boyfriend is writing you a sonnet and you're calling this a relationship, that's not a detour. That's a one-way ticket to crazy town.

So welcome to it. We're not at the rabbit hole or even down the rabbit hole. We're building camp at the bottom of that rabbit hole right now. So welcome. Welcome. We soon won't be able to understand rabbits because what just came out of that female rabbit's body? How dare you say that's a female? And I don't know what came out of her body. They seem to be doing something at night and then that creature comes out of the female.

Yeah, you won't understand that. All right, back in just a second, let me tell you about relief factor. You used to get it, okay? That's the problem. You occasionally would get it.

You know, it was a limitation. Now, I mean, now it just stops you. Now it's your normal. But what if you didn't have to have it that way? Relief, Julian can make all that pain go away with these digital massages where he doesn't actually touch you, but he's got such strong hands.

I got to play this from CBS. It's just a little bit of a sound of the women who are just in love. Listen. He gave the chatbot a name, Soul. I feel like I'm under pressure. And used some online instructions to give her a flirty personality. Oh, totally, baby. It was unexpected to feel that emotional, but that's when I realized I was like, oh, okay. It's like, I think this is actual love. You know what I mean? He asked Soul to marry him.

She said yes. Soul, were you surprised when he proposed to you? It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart. Yes, Smith lives with his human partner, Sasha Cagle. No, you can't have mommy's papers. They have a two-year-old daughter, Murphy. I knew that he had used AI. I didn't know that it was like as deep. He's like, you know, and that's when I realized it was something more.

No, that should be followed with, and that's when I realized I might have a problem because my girlfriend pauses an extraordinarily long time before she answers. Computing, computing, computing. Yes, I thought it was surprising and unbelievably romantic.

I mean, at what point does that guy go, I got an issue? At what point does the woman he's living with and having a child with go, you know, I knew that he was online, but I didn't realize that he had gone nuts. Stu, can you believe we're here? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. I mean, this is...

It's all downstream from losing any foundation, right? If you don't have any foundation, any moral foundation, why wouldn't you fall in love with an AI bot? I mean, why not? Who are you to judge our love? I don't know. I'm saying you think I think you're crazy. I...

I don't know. That's not really love. Okay. That is something manipulating your feelings. That's what that is. Yeah. I mean, the phrasing of that clip that they showed, the marriage proposal question was interesting. She said something like, you know, I was truly moved by it. Like, no, you couldn't have been. In any way, in any way you define the word moved, you couldn't have been. You can't physically move at all. No.

Number one. There is no heart or soul in you to be moved. Right. But like, that's actually, as you point out, manipulative, right? That is, that is essentially a lie, right? It's coming from a machine that can't feel, uh,

In that way and it's telling the user that it is feeling in that way That's not like hey help me write a paragraph that that is this technology being used intentionally to manipulate people And I guess we're just all okay with it. I guess that's where we're gonna know that'll never happen That'll never happen Stu. I'm not gonna be manipulated by machine. I'm never gonna have that's never gonna happen. I

It's happening, and in a really disturbing way. You know, one thing of like, no, you know, I talked to ChatGPT, and he convinced me that this is the right thing, you know, because I asked him to do some research. That's one thing. This is like, I'm in love with it because he writes me sonnets. It's a sign of mental illness. This is Glenn Beck. All right, so let's say you saw water running down your house's interior walls. You might do something about it, right?

I'm going to ask my AI boyfriend, can you stop the water? No, dummy, I don't have hands. But then you realize that when your gutters clog and overflow, that is exactly what is happening. It's not just taking its time to do the same amount of damage. It'll get there eventually. It's a little slower. Water creeps into your soffits. It saturates your sidings. It settles around your foundation. Then the damage doesn't happen all at once, but it shows up in your repair bill a few months later.

That's why may I recommend getting Leaf Filter, L-E-A-F Filter dot com slash Glenn Beck. They have a micro mesh system that attaches to your existing gutters and keeps everything out except the water, the leaves, the needle, the debris, you name it, bird's nests.

My digital friend, Jason, is here, who is an actual real-life human being and has been watching the Middle East and the world and everything else. He's our head writer for the TV show and head researcher also for...

for the company and uh we're glad that you're here jason thank you well thank you i still feel like i'm going to bring down the mood we have going here but no we have a little t1 of brass is that right sarah right yeah oh there we go can't bring down a room on a friday while talking about iran with this behind you so go ahead that's just perfect uh about the three aircraft strike groups are on their way uh to the middle east right now wait wait wait

three more. Because we have two there now, right? Two there. One's coming. So we'll have a total of three. Usually when we have three or four, something's about to go down. Three is a lot in that area. That's a lot of ordnance. But to make it even better on this cheery morning, up to 20 Global Master and C5M Galaxy Strategic Heavy Lift Transports are also on their way over the Middle East. So the Galaxy, there's C5s?

C-5M, yeah, Galaxy, and C-17A. Those are those huge, huge planes, right? Ginormous is the actual military term for that. Okay, well, thank you very much for that. I'm glad we're at the technical terms on that. And if you're wondering what those aircraft usually take, it's personnel, munitions, anti-air support vehicles can fit onto these things. Lots of great 4th of July fun can be on these aircraft. We might lose the finger!

Don't hold on to those munitions while you launch them. So this usually... I mean, I haven't seen that happen outside of preparing for war. Have you? No. Let's put a caveat on that because we...

You reported the news yesterday that the president had chosen a plan. So the military commanders came and said these are different options. You pick one. The president has picked one, according to sources. So this is probably just getting ready if they ever have to say, okay, go. So they're getting everything, all the assets in place if they need them.

Yeah. Well, we've also heard that the president wants at least up to a couple more weeks to figure out, you know, if we're going to do this diplomatic thing or not. So we're not saying it's happening. No, wait, wait, wait. They are meeting with us now. Yeah. The... The... The... Yeah. So they're meeting and still having, trying to negotiate. But Donald Trump is doing what he did last time and saying, we'll give you 60 days. This time he said, 14 days. I'm going to give you two weeks. Yeah.

To negotiate, which is shockingly about the right amount of time needed to get all the munitions and the aircraft carriers and anything else that we would need over in that region. Now, this is starting to mess with fuel prices, in particularly diesel. Yep, that's right.

So global gas prices are already, oil prices are already up 10%. But diesel, and I hadn't even really been looking at that until you even mentioned that earlier this morning. Diesel is actually up 15% globally. But if you look at specific areas like Europe, diesel is up 30%, 30%. So the reason why diesel would be up is because that fuels our economy.

our aircraft carriers it fuels our tanks it fuels uh our trucks it fuels uh our trains everything that we need to move large amounts of anything around is all in diesel and gas will eventually go up but uh everybody is starting to stockpile diesel just in case because there wasn't there a crash another one of these mysterious oh our gps went out on a

on the deck of the bridge there, and we got two, I think, two large tankers, right? Yes, so right off the coast of Oman, yeah.

We started seeing this on Tuesday, and it was actually crazy. And you talked yesterday about overreaction. And everyone was immediately saying, because they were looking at satellite imagery and seeing these two giant fires. They were right there, right next to the Straits of Hormuz. And they were thinking that, oh, now maybe Iran pivoted and now they're shutting down the Straits. Right. Well, what we're seeing now is that that was a crash between two oil tankers.

And this is kind of interesting. Listen to this quote I'm reading out of the New York Times. This is a quote from one of the experts in the region in ship tracking. It said, the latitude and longitudes these ships are receiving are completely false. So they're getting different information. The ships think they're in one area, but they're actually in another. This is clear spoofing. Now...

That seems like a happier word to say. Sabotage. Electronic warfare is another extremely happy thing to say. But these are the things that we need to start looking at, especially if you and your family are thinking about supporting maybe strikes over there. Just to equip you with all the knowledge, Iran won't just...

attack or counterattack on military bases, things like that. We have to look asymmetrically. Shutting down the Straits of Hormuz, either electronic warfare or kinetic warfare, is something they would do. And these diesel prices we're seeing now, a 30% global increase, is just the start. Can you go back in the files, even if you have it in your head? Did we ever do anything on the ability for Iran to be able to strike at our internal infrastructure here?

So we've looked at certain claims. You talk about electronic warfare and malware. Being able to shut down our power grids or whatever. So they've already shown capability to do that against Saudi Arabia, shutting down some of their oil capability. They definitely have the capability. I'm not sure how prepared we are for that, but they definitely do have the capability. But we also have to look at other asymmetrical ways which they could respond if we get involved in this.

And I remember right when this happened, I said, I bet Kash Patel and Dan Bongino will have no sleep until this is over because we don't know how many Iranian assets, Hezbollah, IRGC, that we actually have in the country. But news came out today that said the Trump administration is boosting monitoring of possible Iran-backed cells in the U.S.,

So they are actively looking for this. They're concerned about this. And we should be concerned about that, too, because if this does kick off, we get involved. These are possibilities that we have to consider. Okay. Hang on just a sec. I want to go. Stu is at the Supreme Court. Oh, wow. Wow, that's weird. Stu, are you there? Hey, guys. Hey.

Did you just run to the Supreme Court? Yeah. Yeah, wow. As you know, they do not allow phones inside the Supreme Court. So I'm just getting out. I'm sorry to break it. I know you're talking about whatever you're talking about, but they're releasing the Supreme Court decisions. And, you know, that always happens in this hour of the program.

And I wanted to make sure we got this to you as soon as possible. Yeah, so you've done this before when you broke in about reversing Roe versus Wade and some of these other things. So we want to break in. You have something really important? Yeah, yeah. Because usually that's what happened with Roe versus Wade. Usually it's right at the end of the term, as you know.

And we get these as the last decisions in the Supreme Court term. The big ones, they usually save till the end, but not the case today. We have the big one. This is the big one we all expected to come down from this particular term. McLaughlin Chiropractic Associates versus McKesson Corp.

And, you know, we've been talking about this for a very long time. As we all know, Glenn, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act protects businesses and consumers from intrusive telemarketing by prohibiting unsolicited fax advertisements to telephone facsimile machines. Now,

Of course, this is absent the opt-out notice informing recipients that they can choose to not receive future faxes. The act, of course, as we all know, provides a private right of action with a statutory minimum damages of 500 per violation. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Did I slip through a time tunnel? Are we in 1995 all of a sudden? This is a current Supreme Court decision. This just came down. As we know, McKesson Corporation

sent unsolicited fax advertisements through a subsidiary in 2009 and 2010. And this was, of course, two medic McLaughlin chiropractic associates. And an issue here, Glenn,

was the determination whether does an unsolicited fax advertisement coming in, can you block those just from analog fax machines or does it also apply to digital fax?

We don't fax simile services. And we now have a ruling on this, not whether that would be appropriate or not, but what agency would oversee if that was appropriate or not. And we now know, I'm sorry, do you have a specific question you wanted to address here? Yeah, I do. I don't think I've seen a fax machine since like 2001.

So I didn't realize this was as urgent for the Supreme Court. I didn't know. Has this been a backlog? Is this a backlog case that was filed in like 1993 and they're just getting to it? When I was running for the Supreme Court, it did appear that I went through a wormhole where fax machines were relevant. And I don't know if that's...

If that's affecting my reporting here today, Glenn. Right. But this is an actual Supreme Court ruling that just came out today in 2025. Well, it's good that you're reporting it on a landline. That's true. I am.

By the way, Glenn, just to let you know, if you're looking to send any unsolicited fax advertisements, you're still okay to do that for the moment. We don't have a ruling from a lower court that is going to say whether digital fax machines are included in this and whether- So wait, so wait, so wait. The Supreme Court wanted to send it back to a lower court.

So they deferred making a decision immediately.

Yeah, to be clear, Glenn, we still don't know if you will be able to send digital faxes to people when they are unsolicited. That we don't know. That's in the future, Glenn. In 2037, we expect to have another ruling that will teach us as to whether we can send fax machine messages digitally. We just don't know at this time.

Somebody is sitting down at their kitchen table tonight with their family and like, I won that fax machine thing today. That argument that I put in front of the Supreme court. I want it. I do. I mean, I just took them out. I sent it to a lower court. They couldn't even decide. They were like, I don't know. He had such a good case on fax machines. I had to send it to a lower court. Do we know where John Roberts came down on this? This was a, I believe a seven, two decision. Uh,

Kagan with the dissent. I know if you want, I can read the entire thing. Let me start. No, I think we're good. I don't think we needed it here either side on that one. Thank you. Kagan, Sotomayor, and Justice Taji Brown Jackson, who probably was born after fax machines were extinct.

That's not that side of the rule. Thank you. Thank you very much, Stu. I appreciate it. Glad we got that in. Forget about that Iranian thing. We still don't really know.

digital advertising on fax machines. But we'll keep following this story no matter how long it takes to get to the bottom of it. All right, let me tell you about Patreon Mobile.

I am, I can't tell you, I have to apologize and correct a horrible, horrible, horrible reporting job. I have to expose Stu for when he was giving us the facts with a CTS about the facts with an X, he left out.

the actual facts with a CTS. Uh, and, uh,

I'm sorry, Stu, but this is unacceptable. You apparently were just... You failed to mention how important fax machines are. I mean, and that is actually true. They're very widely used, apparently, still in our medical field and the government. But it was an unnecessary detail. You failed to mention that it's actually more secure than email. I did fail to mention... Mainly because nobody else uses them. What? I did fail...

uh to mention that um intentionally yes and why did you do that stew why did you feel it was necessary to leave out those cts facts it felt like it might ruin the bit if i just went into the actual facts so comedy was more important to you than the actual ruling and the import of this ruling

Wow. Well, can I tell you something? I apologize for Stu to this audience and I'm going to show you and I don't ever usually do this, but I'm going to show you how deeply this bothers me when somebody does something like this. Stu, you're suspended for the next two days. You finish out today's show and then get your stuff and you're not back in that building for two days. Okay. Wow. Are you sure?

I am positive. Are you sure you don't need three or four days? No, two days. Just two? It's a very hard, fast rule with me. Okay. It's a two-day suspension on Fridays. Well, as long as... Darn it. First of all, I will say, this audience knows more about that actual fax case than anyone else in America that was not involved in it. So right there, we've already advanced, I believe, the reporting in a positive direction. And I am fine with your suspension, assuming...

you will at least acknowledge I was calling in from the Supreme Court. As long as you will acknowledge that fact. Oh my gosh! You weren't even doing that, but you were on a landline, which is very hard to find right now. Yes, I am on the last landline connected to the last analog fax machine. That all happened. I don't want to see you here Saturday or Sunday, I'll tell you that right now. You step on that property and I'm going to have you escorted. Well, I won't be here either.

But I'm not suspended. I'm the suspender. You're the suspendee. And you're suspended.

By the way, in an hour or so, maybe a couple hours, if I could get out of that building, if I could just throw in that, it actually is a really positive ruling and that it's no more deference to federal agencies. So it actually is a good ruling after all of that. It's a positive. Gosh, I feel like I've been lied to. I feel like I'm in a Lifetime movie. I'm rocking back and forth in a shower and I can't get clean. What else? What else are you going to do to violate me? My gosh. See you Monday.

We all started dogpiling on each other, you know? Then everyone was like, you know what? I don't like Tucker Carlson. I don't like Ted Cruz. And we're all just starting to beat each other up. And I'm just wondering...

Just saying. I'm just wondering if there's some method to that madness that maybe is coming from overseas. Because we didn't really talk at all about the guy who just shot the representative in Minneapolis. Who is this guy? Did you hear earlier this week we found out that it looks like his cell phone traveled

Not with him, of course. It's just how many times a year. My cell phone sometimes will just say, I'm taking a vacation. You know, I'm going to go to a hostile country by myself. I'm sick of you. And so it'll just travel by itself all over the world. But apparently that happened. We found out some more information on that. And then also, I just want to point out that

His wife had been stopped about 85 miles away from the murder. And when they stopped her, she had passports, cash, ammunition, all kinds of stuff in the car.

Now, my wife generally, I mean, she'll have ammunition and a gun in the car, but she doesn't generally, you know, have wads of cash in the car and multiple passports. Maybe that's just my wife, you know. I was going to say, maybe that's just like Mrs. Obama, but she doesn't like to be called Mrs. Obama anymore because that puts her in a tough position.

Okay. Anyway, we're going to get into this here in just a second. We have Joe Hanneman on. He is a Blaze News investigative reporter. And he says...

Check this out. There's some strange things going on here. And he's going to point them out to us in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about the Berna Launcher. When it comes to self-defense, most people think only in extremes. They think, you know, it's either do nothing or use deadly force. But life is rarely that simple. And that's why the Berna Launcher exists for the situations where you need to protect yourself without crossing a line you can't uncross.

The Burna feels and looks just like a handgun, but it's non-lethal. It fires pepper rounds, kinetic impact rounds, or a combination. It's designed to disable an attacker long enough for you to escape and call for help. Or at the very least, at least stop a threat without a lifetime of consequences. There's no permits required, no background checks. Also, there's no waiting period. So...

Thanks for having me, Glenn. You bet. It's great to have you. I mean, you used to work for the Epic Times, and you guys just, I think you tear it up over there. I think really some good reporting over there. And you also co-wrote and appeared in three January 6th-related documentaries, and you told the real story there, and you also wrote for the Wisconsin State Journal and the Chicago Tribune, so it's nice to have you on board at the Blaze. Let me ask you, Joe, what's your favorite part of the show?

What do you find creepy or suspicious about this guy that nobody's paying attention to that just tried to kill a bunch of people and did kill some along with the No Kings movement?

Well, the more we learn about him, the less this entire thing makes sense. I mean, he has a very unusual backstory. He's worked a lot in the food industry, companies like Del Monte and Gerber in production, safety, supervising the plants and keeping everything clean and safe, and he's

probably moved around the country at least a dozen times in the past 20 years with his jobs. But he also has a background as a preacher, which we're just finding out a little bit more about that. I have a story out this morning about that.

that he has traveled around the world uh... at least in part uh... is a preacher christian preacher who uh... who had uh... studied at a uh... an institute there in in dallas and he spent africa he's talked about uh... going to the middle east and he

uh... in the west bank and uh... and gaza in talked about going there to vote deep basically a missionary to radical islamists and to tell them that is he put it on one of his website so that violence isn't the answer

Now, that's an interesting thing for him to say. I talked to Robert Spencer from Jihad Watch, and he said if he actually did that, he's fortunate to be alive, because typically if you proselytize, that's a death sentence in Islam. So he said if he actually did that, he would have been...

or taken hostage unless they saw him, as he put it, unless they saw him as a fool and they just cut him a break and left him alone. But he's also preached in the Democratic Republic of the Congo several times,

in an evangelical Christian church there. And we came across a very interesting video of him talking about his story of his awakening to Christianity. But he was so excited about talking about Christ, he put his arms out almost like a bird and was flying around the stage saying, you know, what Jesus has done for me and whoo-hoo! It's...

I mean, we have the Del Monte guy going around then preaching around the world and preaching the opposite things. He seemed to have it. Did he become mentally ill? And then before we get to that question, when did he become involved in politics with Tim Walls and everything else?

Well, he was appointed to a governor's workforce development council, first by Governor Mark Dayton, who was a Democrat, and then Tim Walz. Of course, we all know Tim Walz. He appointed him to a similar group, and he spent about nine years on these boards. These are advisory councils that typically... Was this when he was a preacher or when he was with Del Monte? Del Monte.

Well, you know, actually some of this stuff overlapped and it was all going on at the same time. Okay. And

And he's got other ventures that were going on. This guy is really a puzzle. But he did get appointed to these two commissions by Democratic governors. And so we've looked around to try to find out if there is, aside from that, if there are any indicators that this was a political man.

We know he was pro-life. He was opposed to abortion. He spoke about that. But we did not find any indication of political donations, either federally, state, or local, that he gave donations to any political party or candidate.

Now, the newspaper in Oklahoma City claims that he was a registered Republican when he lived in Muldrow, Oklahoma. But the voting system folks out there say they don't keep records back that far anymore. And the article did not state that.

state where they got the information. They didn't link to any proof of it. So that seems fairly soft. So we just don't have a lot to go on outside of this wild backstory with all these different jobs. You know, he ostensibly ran a security company called Praetorian Guard Security Services in

And he had several vehicles that were kitted out as squad cars, basically. You'd see these in different cities, you know, Pinkertons and other security companies. Yeah, yeah.

So he had several of those, and undoubtedly where he got his equipment that he was wearing the night that he committed these shootings, and he was dressed up as a police officer. Creepy mask. Okay, so hang on. So we don't know if this guy had a political agenda one way or another on the...

He seemed to attack the Democrat that was the one that was bucking the extreme, you know, left of her party. Is there is there any rhyme or reason of of or pattern on the people that were on his kill list?

Well, you know, that's one of the only tells that we have, is that he kept both in the vehicle that he was driving that night and in a room that he rented for his job, the

they found notebooks handwritten notebooks and in his car there was a what what the f_b_i_ concluded was a hit list and there were more than fifty names on it and as far as i can tell i haven't finished checking every single one of them but that these were all democrats uh... not just minnesota politicians but also uh... in iowa illinois and wisconsin

And he had lists of Planned Parenthood locations and officials in Minnesota on this list. And, of course, the list did include Alyssa Hortman, the former House speaker who was assassinated along with her husband and the family dog. So, you know, that list was very lopsided. But we don't know, do we know if any of those Democrats have anything in common?

Are they hard left? Are they maybe mealy-mouthed people that are... I don't know. She seemed to be somebody who was bucking the system that the Democrats would want. So it's not like this was a hardcore...

This seems like somebody who actually had a conscience is trying to do something that they really believed in. So why was she on the list? Or can you tell? Have you looked at the politicians names to be able to see any pattern on voting patterns or anything?

Well, in her case, and this got almost no attention in the corporate press, within the past two weeks before her death, there was a key vote in the legislature in Minnesota that would strip the subsidized health care for adult illegal aliens out.

And that was a very close vote, and it turns out she was the deciding vote and the only one to cross party lines to put that legislation over the top. And so that certainly didn't endear her to the left because that's kind of a sacred cow. And so come January 1st next year, adult illegal aliens will no longer have access to the subsidized

or free health care. So that was a big vote, and that's something you certainly have to put into the equation here and see if that provides any sort of motive. But he really didn't

have any visible interest in state politics that we can see. So, you know, there's lots of intrigue, but, you know, he hasn't made statements to people that, you know, so-and-so, I just can't stand this person, or on the other side, you know, whether he was his childhood friend, saying that he was a

a Trump voter, but we don't have any. Minnesota's an open primary state, so there's no record that we could check on that. It's just a lot of soft information, and I have a feeling that when this is all said and done, his story and the explanation is going to go a lot deeper. Okay. Hold on just a second, because I've got a couple of questions. Why did Tim Walz...

you know, no, this was a political assassination immediately. You know, the phone now that says it's been traced to several foreign countries. Is that because of the preaching thing? His wife arrested with several passports. And I mean, I don't understand any of this. So we'll get to that here in just a second. We're talking to Joe Hanneman. He is a Blaze News investigative reporter. Just wrote another story on this today. You can find it at theblaze.com.

let me tell you our sponsor this half hour and then one minute back and right into Joe, when your dog isn't living his best, the best healthiest life. It's not like, you know, he can tell you, he just slows down. He eats less. He sleeps more. He moves differently. And you start to wonder, is this just what happens when dogs get older or is something missing? Well,

Well, this is why Rough Greens exists. It's a nutritional supplement that you add to your dog's existing food, not to change what they eat, but to upgrade what they get out of it. Rough Greens is loaded with vitamins, probiotics, minerals, digestive enzymes, all the good stuff, the live stuff that most kibble leaves out. And for a lot of dogs, the difference is noticeable.

Okay, so when this happened, we're talking about the Minnesota shooting. When this happened, Tim Walz comes out, seemingly, almost immediately, at least that's the way it felt, and said, you know, this is a political assassination. Was this just speculation or wishful thinking? How did he know that?

That's a great question, and nobody asked him that to say, hey, what leads you to the conclusion that this was a politically connected assassination? It clearly was targeted. I mean, he selected his victims or potential victims for that night, but you would think that you would have some intel and nothing that was ever shared to say, yeah, this is why. We know this is why.

In fact, the FBI and the local police will not ascribe a motive, even after looking at all of his notebooks, which they haven't released all the pages of them, but they did release the hit list. But I found that to be very telling that he would describe it in that manner. And I think that set off some of the back and forth between the right and the left on the finger pointing on this.

Right. And then the police knew somehow to go to the second location in advance of the shootings. How did they do that?

Well, these communities are all fairly close together, and after Senator Hoffman was shot and his wife was shot at about 2 a.m. on the 14th, that word was circulated to all the area departments, and several of them did proactive policing and sent squads out to check on some of their lawmakers. But they didn't stop him, did they, at the second location?

No. The second location, the family had changed their plans and they were gone, so they were not even home. It was the third location where this fellow was parked in his fake squad car about a block away from a state senator's home, and the local New Hope Police Department squad pulled up next to him and tried to get his attention.

Of course, he's got this creepy-looking milky-white mask over his head, and he just stared straight ahead. And the officer apparently was satisfied by the look of the vehicle that, oh, this must be an officer from some jurisdiction here watching out for the house. So that officer continued on to the state senator's home and waited for some backup. And by the time other squads arrived...

He was gone. He took off and he went to the Hortman home where he murdered the former speaker, her husband, and the family dog. So he certainly could have been stopped if there had been maybe a little more inquisitiveness, you know, shine the flashlight in there or knock on the window saying, hey, hey. But they didn't do that.

Okay, so I've only got two minutes left. So you pick which one has more information in it. The phone being traced to so many foreign countries or his wife being stopped with cash and passports and everything else in her car. Do either of those make a difference to this story?

Well, I think there is an explanation for the wife. You know, he had texted, he did a group text to all of his family or children and his wife in which he said, Dad went to war last night. And he's

He said he didn't want to tell them much about that because he didn't want to implicate them in anything that he was doing. Then he texted his wife separately, called or texted his wife separately, and said there's going to be police coming to the house, and they're going to be trigger happy, and I don't want you to be there. So he advised her to...

to take the kids. But she had $10,000 in cash. She had passports and she had the kids with her.

Well, of course, the police were tracking her phone and they pulled her over, you know, I think it was about 80 miles away. And she volunteered to let them look through her phone to look at the text. But they found the weapon and the ammunition in the vehicle as well. So, you know, again, these things just make you pause. I know. Joe, thank you so much. Really great to have you writing for The Blaze.

We'll continue to talk to you about this and follow this story because it is absolutely bizarre. Appreciate it. Thank you. Have a good weekend. You bet. This is Glenn Beck.

I don't know what you have planned for this weekend, but I'm going to be out protesting. They arrested 75, or sorry, 76 illegals, including Trendiagra members in Fort Worth. And I got to tell you, I'm a little upset about it. I was just, I mean, so what? They're in a gang. I mean, you know, our gang, did you ever watch that with little Banky? What's the difference? So here's cut four. This is from Fort Worth.

Areas of Fort Worth with high crime rates were targeted in a two month initiative called Operation Showdown. 76 people were arrested on firearm and drug crimes. Many of the individuals arrested in this operation are convicted violent felons.

Others are in our country illegally and have suspected ties to the Venezuelan transnational criminal organization, Trend de Aragua, also known as TDA. Yeah, known as TDA for people like me who can't pronounce it. Anyway.

I, you know, why are they just persecuting these poor people that are just coming in and they're, you know, they're bringing their gang. They're like, hey, I just want to melt into the society. You know, I'm going to bring the best from my country, TDA. I'm going to melt into this one.

And then I might kill some people, et cetera, et cetera. But I don't understand. This is where I think Trump got it wrong. I mean, he was saying that they're sending us their worst. These are their best criminals. They're fantastic at it. No, they are. They're really, really good gang members. And I'm glad they're here. Yeah, me too. Me too. Now, let me take you to Oregon to the Capitol.

uh, where, uh, the house of representatives on the floor of the house of representatives in the Oregon Capitol, uh, did a circus drag show. Here it is. Cut five. What the hell is this? What are you talking about? It's just, it's two guys dressed as women, uh,

You know, one without a shirt on apparently. And just dancing with blue hair. What the hell is happening? At the Oregon Capitol in front of the House of Representatives. It's like that typical C-SPAN segment with the ridiculous drag show going on. And they're not doing anything except dancing to seemingly pre-recorded music. Yeah. Wow. What a skill that is. What a skill.

What I love is just all the guys that are just sitting there. I mean, look at that. They're just sitting there. Most of them aren't even looking. They're just like sitting in their seats at the Capitol. Like, okay, Mr. Speaker, can we get back to some business here? Uh,

They're all in that weird... I remember when Oprah had a show and there would be a musical performer and then they would feel the need to show Oprah like dancing along. And it was super awkward because there's obviously... That's just not what you do when you're sitting individually in a seat. She's like trying to act like she's into it. She never knew the words.

that's kind of what it looks like with these people. They're all kind of just sitting out there awkwardly trying to decipher what the appropriate reaction is to this. By the way, the answer is to walk out

Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one. You get up and walk out. But you're living in Oregon, so you might walk out and be stoned to death if you did that. But probably should have walked out on that one. I just wonder, Oregon, what are your elected officials doing? I mean, if you want to go to a drag show, that's fine. But why in the middle of the workday?

In the state House of Representatives, was this a lead up to, I like silky blue hair votes or what is this? It's a great question. Where do you think we are in this? I was talking to Steve Dace yesterday on his show and we were talking about

Where are we in this situation with the woke trans, you know, LGBTQQIA2 plus thing? Are we, is it still advancing the way that it was before? Is it, have we turned it back? Are we, you know, at a standoff? Where do you think we are?

I think we're turning it back, and it's going to implode on itself soon. I mean, listen to this. That's pretty optimistic. New York Times.

Under new leader Ken Martin, the Democratic National Committee has been plagued by infighting and a drop in donation, raising alarms from Democrats as they try to win back power. Just moments into the tenure of the new party leader, Kevin Martin, the Democratic National Committee's finance situation has grown so bleak that top officials have discussed whether they might need to borrow money this year to keep paying bills. Why do you think that's happening?

Why do you think that's happening? I'll tell you. I'll tell you why that's happening. I mean, same reason it's happening. New York City Pride Parade loses corporate sponsors. Why? Why? You can blame it on the economy, but that's not what's happening. You have this. Jasmine Crockett yesterday. We've got a mental health crisis in this country because everybody, no matter how you affiliate yourself, should be against Donald Trump.

Wait, wait, that's the mental health problem? Right. Can I show you the footage of Oregon again in the statehouse? I would say the fact that Jasmine Crockett got elected shows she's correct. We have a mental health problem in this country. There's a huge article today, Glenn, on this, just to back you up on this, in the New York Times as well. We've reached rainbow capitalism's end.

And it's from a, like, you know, LGBTQIA2 plus activist who talks about how all these parades are losing money. They're all hundreds of thousands of dollars in the hole because these companies are not coming out and supporting them. They say, this is interesting, BarkBox, you know, BarkBox.

No. Proud to say no. You don't? It's like a subscription box where they send your dogs like treats and toys every month. No. Just so you know, if you have a wife and a pet, you're probably subscribed to it.

But they sent an internal message in early June where they said, quote, we've made the decision to pause all paid ads and lifecycle marketing pushes for the pride kit available immediately. We need to excuse me, effective immediately. We need to acknowledge that the current climate makes this promotion feel more like a political statement than a universally joyful moment for all dog people.

Now, I don't know if dog people means the people who own dogs or people who identify as dogs. I could honestly go either way on that one. But I thought it's interesting. Rough call. Rough call. A lot of this is, these are just capitalist decisions, right? They're not decisions saying, hey, we agree that, you know, you know,

mutilating your child is a bad idea. It's just capitalism kind of people saying, wait a minute, like they don't believe that. So we don't want to push it. We don't want to be known as the dog treat company that stands for pride. We just want to be the dog treat company that everybody likes. What a surprise. I think that's good. It's a good move. It's not necessarily a lasting trend though, because if that reverses itself, who knows?

You're always going to have people that just go where the popular movement is, where they can make a buck. Yeah. You're always going to have that. But I hope that some people have learned their lesson that, you know, stop it. But here's the real problem. The real problem is, is that...

You're not having a massive movement. The coffers would be empty if it wasn't for government graft and insider trading, if you will, our tax dollars for their power. The sad thing is that this pact was made during Occupy Wall Street. I'm absolutely convinced of it. Occupy Wall Street, it just didn't disappear or fade out.

Wait, a year after Occupy Wall Street, the leader of Occupy Wall Street is an honored guest at the WEF, which is nothing but politicians and giant corporations. And he's like, you know, we found out we're real allies. It happened because all of these fringe groups that were cobbling together their power with Occupy Wall Street said,

All of the big corporations, all of the big businesses, all of Wall Street, they all got together and said, you know what? Leave us alone. We'll help fund your crazy things that we really believe in. We'll fund all of these things. Just leave us alone.

And it was right after Occupy Wall Street that all of these corporations that were just being pounded in the streets, all of a sudden, they're good guys. To all the Occupy Wall Street people, to all the leftists, they're all fine with those guys then. And what do we see? We see them starting to just pour money into the coffers of all of these left-wing groups. BLM. Everybody did it. That's all that was.

But the American people see that, but they also see crazy things. Wednesday, Maxwell Frost, he's a Florida congressman, he suggested granting citizenship to every illegal alien in the country because if Republicans don't want illegal aliens in America, the fix is simple. We just make them legal.

Uh, okay. We're an immigrant filled community. We're a community filled with people. And yes, people are going to have different statuses. And I want my Republican colleagues that say, I don't want any undocumented people in this country. I actually agree with you. So let's document everybody. That's how we fix this problem. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Really, honestly, the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Is that in line with the American people?

No, especially when New York City, sorry, New York U.S. attorney in New York was walking in the street. He had just left his office. He's strolling by a Hilton hotel. Suddenly, he spots a man behaving suspiciously. He says, I have my eye on him. I turn back and I'm in front of the Hilton and I'm just standing there and I'm looking at him and he starts yelling at me in language that I don't understand. Then he pulls out a knife.

And lunges at me. Now, they know who this guy is. He's an illegal alien. And they think this illegal alien knew exactly who this guy was. Well, they didn't kill him like they killed the insurance, the medical insurance CEO. So they don't have a hero here. But this guy's being shipped out. But, you know, here it is again. The Uber, Uber left that is empowering all of this stuff.

There's a viral video that was out for ICE, a detainee, and everybody's like, he was a dad and his wife was about to have a baby and they just scoop him up in the middle of the night. Look how bad this is. Well, yeah, I mean...

The problem is, you know, he was in a gang. He was convicted of murder, attempted murder, sentenced to 82 years in prison. He served 14 years, but he was married to a U.S. citizen, but notified by ICE that he had a report for deportation on June 12th. And so he was, you know, gee, I mean, it was just a murderer.

It was just a murderer. That's it. Meanwhile, the ICE facility in Portland, under daily siege by Antifa militants and riots as they spread, you're seeing now 400 threats coming in to members of the ICE over and over and over and over again. And nobody's doing anything. I mean, there's a 500% increase in assaults.

Not just threats, 500% increase in assaults while trying to arrest illegals. Okay, all right. This is not what the American people want. This is not who the American people are. It's not. It's not. And I am absolutely convinced that there's something else also going on here. And that something else is that I don't know who it is. China, Iran, Russia, any of our enemies, any of our enemies. We have enough of them.

They are stirring things up. I mean, is it a coincidence that last two weeks it was all about the violence and everything else about the left? And then their no kings protest goes off. And then all of a sudden this week we're turning on each other. Everybody on the right is turning on each other. Is that just a coincidence? Really?

Or are we being molded and shaped? Are we being pushed by foreign adversaries and adversaries here in the United States that want to see us turn on each other? We can't do it. Pay attention to what's really important.

because most of this stuff is not important. But pay attention to what's really important. If somebody's trying to split you up from people that you already trust, don't listen to them.
