Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program from Los Angeles, California. Oh, yeah. I know. It's been a week. Feels like it's been a week. It's only been two days. I've been in California, and it feels like a week. Welcome to the broadcast. We're glad you're here. Anybody who has been concerned about the data centers, today is your day. We have Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank. He's a Shark Tank investor, O'Leary Ventures chairman. He has been trying to get a data center built in Utah, in Box Elder County, Utah. which is in the middle of nowhere. And he was surprised that a lot of people weren't for it. A lot of people weren't for it. Yeah, well, there's some reasons for that. There's a lot of questions that need to be answered. We thought we'd have Kevin on to talk about AI, the data centers, and what they really mean for water and power and everything else. What is the plan for these data centers? We talked to him coming up in just a little while and so much more. Stand by. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor, this half hour, is the burner launcher. It happens to the blink of an eye. One minute, you're having a 20-minute chat with your good friend, Mitch McConnell, who's in the hospital, but he's totally fine, totally fine. He's sharp as a tack. And the next minute, you're getting mugged in the hospital parking lot. It happens. Both of those things happen. Pretty rotten luck, quite honestly, if you ask me. But fortunately, you're prepared because right before you left, Mitch said, hey, by the way, you're going on a parking lot. It's kind of a shady area. I didn't get to pick the hospital. They just threw me in the back of a truck. So you know what? Why don't you take my burner launcher? And you're like, thank you. And he said, oh, no, and he blinked. Very, very. very slowly, but you knew what that meant. So with one non-lethal shot from the burner, your mugger is down on his knees trying to get tear gas out of his eyes while you speed out of the parking lot and you call the cops. And you see as you're speeding away there in the upper window of the fourth floor of the hospital standing a virile, Mitch McConnell just waving and saying, see? That's why I carry one. Burn a launcher. It's legal in all 50 states, requires no background check to purchase, and it is trusted by hundreds of law enforcement agencies all across the country. Visit Burnah, B-Y-R-N-A.com. Find the right launcher for you. It's Burnah.com. Okay, Kevin O'Leary is with us. Now, I want to start this out with IMA. I have warned about AI since the 1990s. And I said, you know, AI is going to be wonderful. And then we're going to get a GI, and that's going to be a little crazy. And then we'll get a SI. And that is terrifying, quite honestly, to me. A lot of times when I first started talking about it, people said, no, no, no, AGI is not even possible. And I think we're on the verge of AGI.

So I have been warning about AI, but I also believe that AI is one of the greatest tools man has ever created. But we must always remember it is a tool. Now to be able to have the compute power for these systems, we have to have data centers all over. which means we have to have power, and we also have to be willing to build the data centers. Not going to pay for them. The companies that are all going to put us out of business and will all be slaves to them eventually, they have to pay for it. Now, as these data centers are being built, There's a lot of people that say, I don't want that in my community for several reasons. I personally believe they have to be built. Where they're built is a different story. What I don't like is the fact that in some places, it feels almost as if these big tech companies are coming in and they're just making a deal with the city council and you're not involved. This is your life. If we don't build data centers, China... will own us in every way possible, and I mean personally, we'll own you personally. AI, the United States must be the victor in this. We must have the data centers. However, there's really good questions that have to be asked because this is your life. And I do not want big tech making the decision anymore. We already saw what big tech did when they came out with the greatest tool ever. Everybody's going to be able to talk to each other. We'll be able to check on our families. It's called social media. And we saw how that worked out. We have to have a reasonable conversation about AI and the data centers. And I thought the person to do that would be Kevin O'Leary, who is here. Hi, Kevin. How are you? Great to appear. Thank you. Thank you. Did I set this up properly in your book? Where do you disagree with me on these things? I don't disagree with anything you said, Glenn. That's actually a very good... platform that you set up for us to have an intelligent narrative about this debate, particularly on that of defense and the future of the individual. Because I am in the same boat you're in. I think we're in a very, very difficult situation with our adversaries in China. I've been dealing in China since they came into the World Trade Organization back in 2000. They haven't played by the rules in case anybody before we were worried about AI. And so I have no problem with the Chinese people. I have a huge problem with the Chinese government and their policy. So...

Just to set the stage on that one vertical topic, which I think is a good one to start with, you set it and you were right. Data centers aren't really about data centers. They're about power. You can't have any compute. You can't have your cell phone working, the cell tower working, the economy working if you don't have power. So in the last 18 months... The Chinese using primarily coal-burning turbines because they don't care about the environment or do they need a permit. The big guy says put one here and that's how it happens. They've built 400 gigawatts of new power for China, its economy and its efforts to dominate AI. How many have we built that's new in America? Zero. Now, I'm just talking about power. So we've got to get our... Poo-Poo together and start thinking about adding to the grid here so that we can compete as an economy not just on AI we need power we're tapped out everywhere and so one of the things you see is a negative in places like West Virginia Virginia Mississippi Tennessee Utah you name it as people saying well my power bill is gonna go up if you put a data center here well the new rule of engagement should be this as part of the national solution is if I'm gonna bring a data center anywhere I gotta bring my own power. I gotta spend billions to build power and then give some of it back to the grid so we can stay competitive. We need the data centers. We need the power. We need them both. And so there is a solution here. And that's how we're going to do it in Utah. But Utah is not my only project. I've got projects in Norway and Finland in Canada. But Utah is particularly important for America because of what it means for national defense. You nailed it. Okay. So, Kevin, because this is, I've been talking about this one in Utah. And I understand the people of Utah. And I understand what they're worried about. And quite honestly, I am too. But I, you know, I said there is a solution to these things. And you just gave part of that solution. And that is you have to build your own power. And, and I said, you know, negotiate with these companies and say, look, you want the data center. Great. You bring in your own power. But we also want X percentage of power put in here. And. We don't want to be charged for any infrastructure that revolves around anything to do with this data center. You have to bring this asset to the community. You have to say, we're going to help the community because you're not going to really be creating jobs long term. So what are you going to create? You can create power. Hold on, bubble Louie. Not so fast on the jobs. Not so fast on the jobs. Let me give you the numbers.

4,000 construction jobs just for the first phase 2,000 permanent jobs to maintain it and those are engineering and support jobs very high paying Not true about the jobs. That's a lot of jobs. That's a lot of jobs including all of the additional stuff we have to do for the community which no one's been talking about new fire trucks. We got to provide hotels to put these construction workers in for two years. We got to have permanent you know support for schooling there's so much stuff we're going to give back to the community just to make sure our data center we have we have to employ we have to employ these people to employ them thank goodness utah's highly educated workforce north of grumman is just a few miles away the hill air force base i got jobs my friend i got a lot of jobs a lot of jobs and i need the people there to want to work. So I've got my work cut out for me. Okay. So the other thing, power, jobs, you just answered both of those. The second thing is, or the third thing, is water. Is it true? It needs water or not needs water, because you're building it in Utah is the high desert. So what's the truth on water? That is probably the topic for Utah, given the situation in the Great Salt Lake that is slowly going down. And people have a huge concern about that. So let me tell you the facts. The new modern era data center. does not require anywhere near the water that was used 15 years ago in Virginia where data centers got a bad name because of how much water they consumed and there's two reasons for that. The power generation itself for the electricity to drive the chips, there's many solutions now that are air cooled. So they don't require anywhere near as much water. And the actual cooling of the chip itself is now done like a car radiator. It's a closed loop system, which was not available back 20 years ago. So those are two massive reductions. But people ask me, well, put it in context. Is it true that this is going to use all the water in Utah and the whole lake's going to be drained? That's a complete falsehood. This data center's first phase about 1.4 gigs. is going to be no different than a golf course in Utah. So that you should look at it in terms of how many golf courses in Utah are using water because data centers, not just my project, any new data center now is like a golf course. You know, my attitude is, look, let's get realistic about the facts. And the way you learn that, I don't want people to trust me. I want them to look at the water permit application I'm going to put in in late August that is forced to show exactly the engineering requirements exactly to the gallon that we have to get to make this work. The permitting process is not being circumvented anywhere.

including Box Elder County. You can't, you got to get EPA, you got to get states, you got to get water, you got to get noise, you got to get light. All of that has to be permitted. So there's total control there to see this on a public basis. And what I've done given all the brouhaha that occurred in Box Elder since May 5th is I called up all of the TV networks there and they all have representation and all the journalists and said, here's my personal cell number. You text me when you have a question. Don't let anybody put words in my mouth for me. You call me, and I'll talk to you and give you the facts. And I promised all of them they will get the same information the second I apply for the permit on water which comes first. That's a, Glenn, that's the biggest topic in Utah's water. Yeah, yeah. We got to get this right. And so that's why I'm encouraged that at least you and I are having this narrative and I'm trying to put it straight, but I have a lot of work ahead of me. So, Kevin, how do you generate, what kind of power generation are using? Because, I mean, doesn't it always come back down to you got to make steam, that steam pushes then a turbine and then you can generate, I mean, no matter what it is, it usually uses steam. Doesn't it? What are you going to use to make power? Well, think about this. Think about you're one of the tenants, which I have to negotiate with. The hyperscalers, the SpaceX, the Microsoft, the Google, whoever it is. Let's just take Box Elder County because we're talking about Utah. Every single person, I'm going to guess, in Box Elder County, all, you know, everyone has a cell phone. That's how they talk to their kids. That's how they run their businesses. They're already using a data center. They're already customers of all the aforementioned hyperscalers. If you're an Amazon or you're a Microsoft or your Google, the last thing you want to do in Boxilder County is piss off your customer. They're not stupid. So what they're telling us that the people that are risking the $16 billion, half in debt, half in equity, that's what's going to cost me to build the first phase, is you show us your proposals for power and we'll tell you what we want. And most of them now are looking for combination of nat gas, natural gas. air cooled turbines solar and sodium lithium battery combinations so that you can build out if you have enough land solar panels that drive grabbing energy during the day, and Utah's pretty good, it's a semi-desert, you're filling up those sodium lithium batteries, and then you're fueling the nighttime activity in the data center. So a combination of all of the above, the Ruby pipeline there is at about 17% capacity. So we can use some of that, we have to spend billions to get all that set up, but then the turbines themselves can be air cooled or combination of water air cooled.

put that part of the water, the water permit. And then, of course, we need toilets and kitchens and all that stuff. People need water, so we're going to use water there. But at the end of the day, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be known different than in phase one. He's going to be a golf course, no different. Okay. All right. Hold on just a second. We have Kevin on with us. By the way, if you were an insider, you knew he was coming on yesterday, and we're going to get to some of your questions here in just a few minutes.

Kevin, why not nuclear energy? The president said he would take off the restrictions on nuclear energy. Is it not ready for prime time yet? The new smaller nukes. It's about 11 to 15 years away, the small nukes. The economics of data centers worldwide are the cost of power per kilowatt hour. So let me just give you some metrics. The cheapest power on Earth is one cent a kilowatt hour in Saudi Arabia, but obviously given the instability of the region right now, no one's going to put a $15 billion investment there. Then you get the Nordic countries, Finland, Norway, where we do have facilities at 4.9 cents a kilowatt hour. The cheapest in North America is in Canada, in the province of Alberta, where we're sort of at a 4.2, give or take a little bit, cents a kilowatt hour USD. And then most of the data centers in Texas and Utah, maybe four to six cents. Now, if you looked at Nuke right now, you'd be talking... maybe a buck kilowatt hour. Oh, wow. So, you know, it's, we're just not ready, but I applaud the administration's move towards this. We gave up our nuclear program years ago for the wrong reasons, and so did Germany and look with the situation therein. Yeah, I know. The French did the same thing. We got to get back in the saddle on nuke. And we will. But the data center itself is agnostic to the power as long as it's economic. It can switch over to small nukes the minute they're available. And so we would do that as well. This is a long project, Glenn, for me. I'm going to be working on this thing for over a decade. So... Tell me why, because I have people say, why are these being built in small little towns and little teeny communities and farming? And I moved to farming communities because I didn't want to be around all this crap. Why are we going into places like Detroit and just taking all of these old empty factories and just retooling them? Because they're not big enough. What happened was in the last two years when the race against China started, a large data center used to be 250 megawatts. Today, the minimum to stay competitive is 1.4 gigawatts, so almost five times the size. And the reason that is, is the chips themselves cost billions of dollars, so you need scale to make it economic. But there's another problem as well, and I think we should address it. You touched on it at the top of the show that I have to point out. This war or this whatever you want to call it that's going on in the Middle East that you're witnessing I would argue to you is the first AI war ever fought

And I'll give you some very easy examples. Okay, hang on just a second. I only have a minute to the break. That is fascinating. And I don't want to interrupt you on that. So, wow, that is fascinating. Take the break and let's talk. I'm going to give you some information I want your listeners to think about. Okay. We'll do that. And I also want to ask you when we come back. To, if you can, explain kind of what I said when I said, if China gets this, they will own everything, including you. There is, you know, AI, the way we are looking at what is coming, you know, you can lose the... I think you can lose the ability to know whether or not you have free choice or not. It's so dangerous the way it is. And we can't have that fall into the hands of the commune. I don't like it falling in the hands of big tech or U.S. government, but I know we can't have it fall into the hands of the Chinese. Kevin O'Leary continues with us here in just a minute. Stand by.

So what do you do when somebody else is having the worst day of their life? You know, most of us are not going to be, you know, doing anything heroic. You and I are probably never going to run into a burning building or pull somebody out of a flooded river. You know, more often or not, we're just given much simpler opportunities to help those who need it. But do we? So I admire the people that are involved with the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. They are... They are the people when the world's attention comes and goes, they keep showing up. They provide food to the hungry, shelter to the Jewish families who have lost their homes, care for the elderly, emergency assistance. You know, scripture doesn't tell us to help people when it's convenient or when the cameras are watching. It calls us to love our neighbors in practical ways, even when we don't want to. As America continues celebrating its 250 years of independence, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews turns to God in prayer, asking that his wisdom will be guided, guiding the elected officials and lead America and Israel toward moral clarity and unity. The USA-Israel flagpin is available today. Go online and help the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Get your flagpin now at flagpin.org.

We are with Kevin O'Leary, who is trying to build data centers all around the country, and one of the more controversial ones is in the northern corner of Utah, Box Elder County. And I wanted to get him on and talk about the data centers, a truth about the data centers. I think he's answered it about water. The water is about the use of a golf course. The power, they are responsible for generating all of it. You know, I would like to see the fine print on that because I'm so concerned these electricity, these electrical companies are going to say, yeah, well, we had to, you know, upgrade the infrastructure and everything else because of it. And they'll just end up charging you more. But, you know, that's something you deal with at the city council level, I think. Kevin, you just said something before we took a break. You said, this is this war that we're fighting with Iran is the first AI war. What do you mean by that? So let me explain how this is working. And I spend a lot of time in Washington, D.C. these days for a lot of reasons. You know, I'm an advocate for small business in America. Yes. They have very few voices. We create 52. percent of all jobs in America, companies five to five hundred employees, those are my, that's my army, that's what I call them. So I represent them blue and red. I'm a very fortunate guy because it doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on you want to create jobs, that's what I do. So I get to meet everybody. But I also spend time with various government agencies regarding their need for compute capacity. I'm going to select my words correctly, okay? But you should make the assumption they're coming from a place of knowledge. Every time we build a data center in America, anywhere, we should provide at least, at least 20% of its capacity to our government to provide them what they need to prepare for the war of the future that you're actually witnessing now and I'll and let me be very specific the Chinese know what they're doing the future of warfare is about highly precision driven ordinance so missiles that can just hit one person inexpensive drone technology predictive analysis of weather in the war theater all kinds of other elements that require AI AI compute capacity that the two chopper pilots that fell into the ocean and the chopper went down their lives were saved by a craft that had no one in it driven by an operator probably in Florida, a young operator that was able to take that boat precisely to where their beacons said they were in the ocean, pick them up, and drive them back to safety of an aircraft carrier. Now, you want that for our service, men and women. Everybody wants that. How do you get that? That is AI compute and compute capacity.

and we need it desperately. So if you want the best defense, if you want to maintain your style of life and freedom and democracy, in America for your children, you give a damn about data centers. You have an obligation to build one in your state and give some of that capacity to the Pentagon or to Department of War or to whoever needs it to provide what we enjoy. today because we've got an adversary called China you brought it up and they have a different plan for us and so the and I'm I'm I'm hardcore on this I see it every day okay you remember the whole TikTok thing when that was going on well we shut that down that was mining American data sending it back to an adversary we can't have that so yes there's a lot of issues around AI But I can show you in all of my 54 private companies, we're using it now to reduce customer acquisition costs and give better customer support and provide new content to drive our businesses up and make more revenue and pay more tax, create more jobs. I think AI is going to create more jobs. But the fundamental issue that everybody has not got into their head is every single data center needs to give some of its capacity. to the people that defend us so that they have the power to do so in every theater. And I'll tell you how this Iranian thing's going to get worked out. This is my own personal speculation. I call it compliance through tenderization. What's going to be happening here now that these guys won't do a deal is... The administration is going to say to them, okay, everybody, this Strait of Hormuz has to open up. Maybe we're going to charge 10 or 20% to every boat that goes through and we will be the caretaker of the lock like the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal. We'll make sure it stays open. And if you, Iranian guys, don't want to play ball, you see that bridge over there? At 2.30 tomorrow, we're taking out the south end of it. You see your brother's house in the mountains where he goes for weekends? Get everybody out of there at 4.30 on Tuesday because we're taking it out. It's tenderization. And the way you tenderize is you have highly specific ordinance, satellite controlled, AI-driven, predicted analysis on everything you need, controlled stateside from a server in the US on sovereign soil, and you tenderize every day. You don't have to kill a lot of people. You don't want to do that. You want to take this regime, it's 150,000 militants that are paid from oil. This is a militia. Control a million-man army. that controls 92 million other people that are in misery. But the thing you don't want them to have is an atomic bomb. And so it's rather, this is going to be a new type of warfare. This is called tenderization. And so you tell the leader, whoever happens to be that week, because they keep seeing to get killed all the time, we're going to tenderize your family's houses. Tenderization 4.30 Wednesday afternoon.

And get everybody out of there, get the maids out of there, get the service people out of there. And then we're going to take 10% of your capacity to sell oil and we're tenderizing there. Not all of it. Then we'll tenderize another 10%. And why can you do that? Because you have superior air defense control through AI. That's what we need in America. That's what I'm building. And that's what every other developer is going to have to build. So get on board, everybody. This is what it's about. Okay, so, so Kevin, here, I need you to respond to this because I don't think, I don't think the tech bros here and I don't think politicians here. Let me just explain what I feel and what I think my audience feels. The tech, the AI thing. Some people say this is another dot com. I don't think it is, but some people feel that way. And they remember the boom or bust. It was the average person paid for the dot com bubble. Oh, wait, the average person, the banks didn't pay for it. The average person did. We always seem to pay the price. And this is the crux of the issue here. The tech bros used our data. We didn't get paid for it. They're now making billions of dollars. AI comes. We're going to lose the jobs. They're not going to lose the jobs. Data centers will pay the price for power, water. We'll lose our small town, our farmland. I worry about how, honestly, maybe it's just me, how we're going to lose our understanding of free will in all of this. There's so many things that it feels like the tech pros don't understand. We're not a stinking market. We're people. We're individual people. We're communities. And we're the ruler of our life. And it feels like you just get railroaded by. the tech bros you just get railroaded by the politicians that i think is where the real frustration is happening do you understand that or does it do the tech bros understand this then it's a fair comment it's a fair comment and and it's there's two narratives going on in america at the same time and it's also happening in other countries too france norway switzerland germany i work in all these markets the uaa canada you name it There are people that are concerned and have angst and fear and loathing over such a dynamic change and I want to take you back to the early 90s when the internet was emerging and the same concerns about what is this thing and how is it going to change my life in a good or bad way and I understand that fear. So you've got the camp that says AI is going to take all of our jobs away and then the robots are going to eat the babies and I get that. I understand that angst. Then there's the other camp that I want you to think about. I recently went in for a full body scan as part of my checkup in Miami, where it's now very inexpensive to get this done, the entire body. And they're looking for everything. Obviously, I'm concerned about my health. Right. And so it used to take a month. to get the diagnostics back on this full body scan on every organ and every bone in your body. Using AI today, 18 minutes. I simply waited

And I met with the technician afterwards, and he said, here's four things you've got to talk to your doctor about. I'm sending him the disc. And he's going to send it right up to Boston where my doctor is. I said, you've got that in 18 minutes. He said, yeah, yeah, we use AI. You gave us permission. We did it. We have all the advances in medicine. Think about the advances in education. I know that. All of these things make America what it is. And we want to be the leaders. So we don't want the fear and other people. injecting fear and propaganda into our free market. There's all kinds of debate. You heard Senator Cotton talking about where's all this money coming from that's stopping the development of power in America in every state in Michigan or in Texas? Who's paying for this? Well, I wonder who's paying for that too. Yeah, I do too. And I think China is behind a lot of this. I mean, look, you know, and this is why this is such a difficult conversation to have because I understand both sides. I understand the technology. I understand what it means, both good and bad. If we get it, if we don't get it. But I also understand the people are tired of being the one who pays for everything. And everybody else just kind of just moves on with their life. It just feels like they're being railroaded all the time. And I think, and this is why we asked you to come on, because you said, you've been surprised by some of the blowback, and you said, I've got to start all over here because I've got to listen to the people. And so I wanted to have you on so we could have this conversation. And Kevin, I hope we can have you on again if we have more questions. I have more, but I'm out of time. But I hope we can continue our conversation. It was very good. I really appreciate it and thank you. Take care. You bet. Thanks. Thanks a lot. Kevin O'Leary Ventures Capital, Shark Tank Investor, trying to set the record straight on the Box Elder County, Utah Data Center. I don't know if, I'd love to hear from the insiders. I love to hear from you. If you have more questions, we'll get them to Kevin. But I think that was helpful, but I don't know if it answered all of the questions. I don't know if you can. Because I personally, and this is a bad thing when you're trying to do, when you have to do business, when you have to do, when you have to make decisions. I have a daughter who is just the smartest girl. And she speaks a different language, kind of. And. she was struggling with something, I think it was on AI. And she said, Dad, this doesn't make sense because, you know, you have to do this, but you can't do that because of this. And I said, I know. And she said, so how can you be saying we have to do this? Because you know this is true. And I said, I know that is true. But I also know we have to do it. And I said, that's the problem. There's no good answer to this. There is no good answer. And the worst answer we can do is be frozen in place. Because then. That's your answer. And you don't want to be on that one. So I don't know how to balance this. This is probably the most difficult question we have that we're dealing with now. And they're only going to get harder from here. But we have to answer this question one way or another. And I don't know how the people do it, but the people should be the ones making the decision.

Not some committee, not our, you know, not our, you know, city councils. The people's voice need to be in this in every single county and community that is thinking about building these data centers. It must answer to the people. All right. Back in just a second. And tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor is super sure. You know who never gets a standing ovation? The stage crew.

I really don't think that the phone calls to the studio. You like data centers so much. Why don't you put one up your ass? No, I don't. I'm not going to build one inside of me. No, I'm sorry. It doesn't sound like a really good idea. I'm not for data centers. I'm not against data centers. I'm trying to tell you the risk. I personally would like to see them built in big cities where big huge boxes belong. But that is up to each individual. And we have to have these conversations. So we're having quite a fierce debate with the insiders online now. If you're not a member of the insiders, you should be, glenbeck.com slash torch because there's a lot of additional information. I'm going to have him on. I'd like to have somebody opposing on as well. And maybe if we could get those two together, it would be a good thing. to have a reasonable conversation because this has to be decided. Coming up after the top of the hour, I'm going to talk to the State Department about Marco Rubio's statement yesterday. Do we have a clip of his ICC statement from yesterday? The danger of this global court has only continued to grow. Today it threatens every aspect of our political and legal system. Border patrol agents removing violent criminals from our country, American Marines risking their lives to defend our homeland. prosecutors working to dismantle terrorist plots to attack and kill Americans. If we stand idle, all of them would be at the mercy of foreign judges thousands of miles away, facing the constant risk of prosecution and even imprisonment for the so-called crime of defending their own country. The American people never agreed to any of this. Yeah, this is all true. And we're going to talk to Marco Rubio's people at the State Department here. And I also want to share an idea that I have, something that I've been watching with Marco Rubio, something I think is going on. Whether anyone knows it or not, I think something is going on there. And it has everything to do with 2028. And I'll explain coming up. First, we talk to the State Department about the ICC and so much more. Next. Keeping yourself and your family safe means being prepared for situations that can put you or them in danger. It means being prepared for all the situations, you know, even those situations where deadly force is not needed. In fact, it's a real problem. There are more of those than you think. And if you're a gun owner, it's unfortunately easy to think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs, but you never pull a gun unless you're prepared to kill somebody. And I'm not in all situations, you know, but they can go bad fast. There is a tool for this. It's the burn-a-launcher. It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will teach somebody a very painful, non-lethal lesson. It's legal in all 50 states, no permits or background checks required, and it can be used by all age groups over 18. My kids carry them in their backpacks.

Hello America from Los Angeles, California. This is the Glenn Beck program. I want to talk to you about who I think is being groomed to be the next president in the United States. And in a way, we haven't seen since the early 1800s. And I'll explain in just a minute. First, I want to take you to the State Department because the State Department, first of all, let's recognize some good things the State Department is done. Under Marco Rubio, they've gotten rid of all of this Cold War ideology. They cleaned house. Hopefully they've cleaned it, deep cleaned it enough. So you don't have any of this Cold War thinking, no longer looking to spread democracy through, you know. never-ending wars, because that's all the work of the State Department over the years. No longer now with the loss of, gosh, darn it, USAID, we're not spreading wokeism and progressivism and anti-Americanism around the globe anymore. And it's changed. Now, yesterday, we had Marco Rubio come out and say he's taking a stand against the ICC, the international criminal court, ending that, ending our participation in that. Also, they are over in Europe trying to get Europe to join in the fight against Antifa, but there's some pushback on that. We're also negotiating with Iran. There's so much happening with the State Department. We wanted to talk to a spokesperson, Tommy Piggett. He is U.S. State Department spokesman. And I'll talk about Marco Rubio calling the meeting of the 60-plus countries to address the terrorism and... and Antifa specifically, but also about the ICC and so many other things. We do that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor this half hour is Patriot Mobile. Almost every dollar you spend is doing two things at the same time. First, buying you a product or a service, but second, it's casting a vote for the kind of company that you want to succeed. And most of the time, we don't think about that second part. We just pay the bill and we move on. But every now and then, a company comes along that makes you stop and really think about who you're really doing business with. And that's what Patriot Mobile does. They give you reliable wireless service on all three major networks. You keep your phone, you keep your number, or change them if you want. and their U.S.-based team makes switching surprisingly easy. But they are America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. They've donated millions of dollars to organizations that defend faith and family and freedom. They work hard every month to provide a good service. And then in their spare time, they put a lot of man hours at a... millions of dollars of their own money into helping us fight this fight. At the end of the month, you're going to pay a cell phone bill anyway. It's nice to know there's an option where you can feel good about who's receiving it. It's PatriotMobil.com slash Beck or call 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot. Use a promo code Beck. Get a free month of service. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. Tommy, welcome to the program. U.S. State Department spokesperson.

Uh, Tommy. Hey, Tommy. How are you, sir? I'm doing it right. How about yourself? Very good. It's good to have you on. So let me start with what, what happened with this summit. I know that, uh, Marco Rubio brought in, you know, or went and spoke to, I don't even, I don't even know. It's like 60 plus, um, uh, members brought in and European allies and talking about hey how do we get you to address the threat of Antifa in your own country and work together with us to stop the spread of this stuff and I read a lot of these countries recoiled from that why Well, I think ultimately what we're seeing in a lot of these countries is the opposite in some ways. I mean, for example, the secretary speaking to so many countries, you also have, for this ministerial, over 50 countries that have already confirmed their attendance and we expect more. So what we're actually seeing is many of these countries around the world, recognizing this is the problem that it is. We saw designations from the State Department a few months ago. identifying specific groups within Europe for their violent terrorist activity and fundamentally this has been a gap that's existed for many decades ignored by previous administrations And we're no longer ignoring it now. We're identifying these transnational networks to make sure we know where the money's going to, how these are connected, working with our partners, identifying them. And that's why the foreign policy element of this is so important because so many of these groups are actually transnational. So we're making sure we're addressing this gap in our counterterrorism strategy and dismantling these networks. So when you say Antifa, I mean, I think of, you know, well, what about the Islamist and the communist? But aren't they really all becoming kind of the same thing anyway? Is this really one problem or are those three problems? Well, we do see a connection between groups across what might be conceived as normal ideologies. But we are addressing all of those different groups. This doesn't mean that we're not addressing terrorist threats from other avenues. And we have taken concrete actions to address threats from Islamist groups, for example, and other groups that we have been combating for a very long time and continue to. But we are also making sure we're addressing this threat. And we are seeing connections across groups. And what we're talking about are groups that oftentimes self-identify. with Antifa. They self-identify.

So when we look at a specific group, we are looking when we're talking about designations, for example, the activity they're doing, kidnappings, targeting of U.S. law enforcement personnel, targeting the civilian population, terrorist activity. We're identifying that, we're designating it. But then what that allows us to do when we designate these groups is to go after those that are providing what's called material support for these groups. And that's the support that's allowing these groups to continue their activity. And these groups often self-identify with Antifa. They say they're Antifa-based groups. And so we're just calling... them what they are, we're going after them, and we're dismantling these groups to protect the American people. So when you guys took on USAID, which I think is, I mean, I celebrated, nobody knew who USAID. I've been talking about USAID for years and how it's just a dark money hole. And we're really seeing this now pay off. Have you guys found other things connected like that? Are we looking at other things that we have been paying for our own selves that are killing us in the long run? Well, USAID had a fundamental complete lack of accountability. And that's why we wanted to bring USAID under the State Department, identify those programs. We would have circumstances where USAID was... doing a program in a certain country that ran counter to the policy of the duly elected president of the United States, ran counter to the foreign policy in that country. You had a tremendous amount of USAID programs that were simply fueling an NGO-industrial complex. And this NGO-industrial complex wasn't actually addressing many of the problems we want to address, but instead was funding things that were counter to United States. Oftentimes funding organizations that wanted open borders, for example, that were trying to pressure the United States against policies to secure our border and save lives. That's one powerful example that we saw. So we're addressing this in making sure that when we have programs, we're actually having programs that further our foreign policy. It's common sense. It's how our system should work. And then fundamental to that. is accountability. We know where the money is going. And also we're able to spend it faster. If you look at our disaster response in Venezuela, for example, we are seeing a massive response to Venezuela showing the effectiveness of a program when you have it aligned with your foreign policy and in the State Department. How do you make sure that we, because things, good policies always go wrong because somebody comes in and they just mutate and it gets worse and worse and worse. How do we make sure that going after these things doesn't turn into going after candidates that the United States doesn't like or speech that the United States doesn't like? Well, when it comes to speech, for example, one of the primary things that we have made clear is we're attacking what existed previously in the censorship industrial complex. We're undersecretary here at the State Department, Undersecretary Sarah Rogers, who has made a point to call out censorship, combat censorship, and make sure that people know censorship is now a tool that's completely off the table. And we have actually eliminated certain organizations.

from the beginning within the State Department that we're actively censoring the American people. We've also taken action at the State Department for when other countries pass laws that do what's called extraterritorial censorship. So they pass a law, but their laws end up censoring American speech. That is unacceptable. So we're going to protect freedom of speech. So part of this, what we can do is identify those organizations, those institutions within the State Department that we're doing things like censorship, dismantle them, and do what we can to make sure that we're riding this ship as much as possible while we have the ability. to do so. Let me touch on the ICC. What steps are we actually taking and is it possible to dismantle this thing? International criminal court. There's a variety of options on the table that are being considered. This is a major diplomatic campaign to isolate the ICC, which has really turned into a group of globalist bureaucrats that are just determined to undermine the sovereignty of the United States of America, to target American service members, to target U.S. Border Patrol agents, to threaten U.S. elected officials. unacceptable behavior, the secretary being very clear that we have a variety of options on the table. And this is really a continuation of work to protect American sovereignty. And I think importantly, this is not a new concern from the United States. We have never, since our founding, subjected ourselves to courts that want to overturn our Constitution and our own courts. We're not going to accept it now and we're taking action to make sure that they don't have the ability to do so. So let me turn you to Iran because it's kind of the same thing. I think There's a possibility that Iran is just doing this to buy more time in hopes that elections will change the course of things. A, any updates on Iran and B, how do we make sure that when this goes through? These changes that you guys are making are lasting changes and not just for four years and we just snap back to the way we were. Well, when it comes to the changes we're making in the State Department, that's why the reorganization itself was so important. And it really was incredibly wide in its scope. Implementing policies that really have accountability for the American people, eliminating redundant offices, eliminating offices that worked counter to the interests of the American people. making sure we have that accountability, and also making sure we have new practices when it comes to recruiting, for example, that we're having the best and brightest join the Foreign Service, join the ranks of so many in the Foreign and Civil Service that want to do their jobs, that want to advance the interests of the American people. I've met many that want to do that, but were stopped by the bureaucracy. So it's about addressing that bureaucracy, putting a new system in place that hopefully will be long sustaining by the depth and breadth of these changes. When it comes to Iran, what we've seen is the President of the United States being very clear from the beginning. We had a deal with Iran and they broke it. The president is acting accordingly. But fundamental is the very clear objective that the Iranian regime cannot have a nuclear weapon. And the president's been clear he's going to accomplish that objective one way or another.

I will tell you, I don't recall that. I know I have, but I don't recall the time. Last time I had somebody from the State Department on, because I've always hated the State Department because they were the ones that trapped us in the foreign wars and everything else. And I'm, you know, kind of a backup of what I was just asking about. You know, I know Marco Rubio's worked really hard to get us into a place where we're firing everybody, I think, on the second floor or above the second floor at the State Department and try to make sure that we're not, you know. trapped in these foreign wars. You know, our withdrawal, you know, this our withdrawal from Afghanistan. That was all coordinated by the State Department. That's why it was butchered so badly. And again, I worry that we're going to be able to sustain this thing. Let me ask you on Venezuela. There was a New York Times article. They just ran a piece that said Marco Rubio is effectively running Venezuela from Washington, D.C. Is that an accurate way to describe it? Or what's the real situation? Well, it's no secret that we have a better relationship with the authorities in Venezuela than we did under Maduro. That's no secret. I think that's actually a testament to the earthquake response that we've seen the response to those earthquakes. The fact that it was instantaneous, the fact that we've seen the interim authorities cooperating fully on this matter. The Secretary has spoken to how a lot of progress has been made, and there are implements in place to make sure that there's accountability, there's cooperation, there's insight that we have when it comes to the movement of Venezuela in the direction we wanted to go. We have this three-phase plan. that we're working towards eventually to see a partner in the region a long-term partner so we have a long way to go a lot of work our priority right now remains on responding to the earthquakes we've seen that historic response but we've seen a lot of progress as well from where we were just a few months ago under maduro that illegitimate regime that did so much to threaten the american people and hurt the venezuelan people you know i um i said to the president I don't know, about a year ago. I saw what he was doing and I saw Panama and then I saw Greenland and, you know, now Venezuela and then the Strait of Hormuz and everything else. And I said, you are completely changing the world order from what it was after World War II that just kind of just ran by default. You're completely changing this whole thing. And setting up a... a completely new system where it is really centered on this hemisphere. Do you believe that's accurate? Well, security starts at home. I mean, security starts at home. And I think for too long, we saw American leadership lacking in our hemisphere. And no one can contest that that has changed now. American leadership is back in our hemisphere, back in our home. And we're seeing so many partnerships being strengthened because of that. Take the effort to combat the cartels, for example. the insidious practice poisoning hundreds of thousands of Americans. We, of course, have secured the border, but we also have cooperation with countries along the entire migration chain to make sure we're addressing these cartels where they are. That has been so important to American security, and we're seeing that cooperation because leadership is back in our hemisphere. When it comes to the world order, one thing I also wanted to note is that we actually recently withdrew from over 60 international organizations that maybe started with good purpose, then have completely changed or atrophied into something unrecognizable that undermines our interests. So we're not afraid to withdraw from these organizations when we need to. We're not afraid to hold globalist bureaucrats accountable. We're going to keep doing that. Tommy, thank you so much. Tommy Piggott from the State Department. Appreciate it. We'll have you on again. God bless you. You bet. All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's chapter.

You know, we don't ask enough for directions, you know, and I'm not just talking about driving. We get stuck on a home repair, but we don't want to call somebody who knows what they're doing. So we struggle with, you know, with what we're doing. And we struggle with a computer problem for an hour before admitting we need help. There's something in us that just wants to figure everything out on our own. I got it. I got it. Maybe it's a stubborn mail thing. I'm not really sure. Sometimes that makes sense. But when it comes to Medicare, there is no prize for doing it the hard way. None. There are a lot of plans, a lot of rules and a lot of details that can affect you both your health care and your wallet. So what exactly do you do? This white chapter exists. Their licensed Medicare advisors can walk you through all of the options. They can answer your questions and help you find a plan that fits your needs from all of the insurance companies. Sometimes the smartest person in the room isn't the one who already knows all the answers. It's the one who knows. how to ask the right questions and then ask somebody who does have the answers. So give him a call. The call is free. Just dial pound 250. Say the keyword chapter. It's pound 250 keyword chapter. 10 seconds. Station ID. Yep.

It just feels like schoolhouse rock to me. A way to teach your family about the Bill of Rights. There's a different song and a different lesson plan for every amendment for the Bill of Rights. Take the summer and learn the Bill of Rights, even yourself. These songs help you just remember what's in each. The Sixth Amendment is out. And we're also doing something special. We're having a video contest now. Your family can work together to make a short video about at least one of the rights guaranteed in the Sixth Amendment. Don't worry.

Jason, quick, tell me what's in the Sixth Amendment. Right now, the U.S.-led blockade is now officially back right now. I don't think that's what's in the Sixth Amendment, but okay, that's exactly how I would have answered it. Before I got the song, that's exactly how I would have answered it. Let me tell you about Iran. Okay, what's going on with the blockade now? So the Sixth Amendment is, oh, yes. All right, go ahead. So yes, the blockade is now back. The U.S. Navy is enforcing that as we speak. One of the interesting things is as strikes are continuing is we just heard yesterday evening that the president said a letter to Congress resetting. in effect resetting the 60-day time limit that the president can, yeah, deploy military forces. That was at, I think, July 7th. So it was funny that we said that, I think, at the beginning of the MOU, that wouldn't that be interesting if this was just... I wonder if this is a way to reset that. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. The way that presidential administrations could do this up in infinity, basically, is always... Can I tell you something? This is why everybody's so upset at nobody wants to listen to our Speaker of the House or to John Thune. Nobody wants to listen to them. Pass the damn Save America Act. And they're like, well, we got to pass it this way. What, you know, what people don't understand. I don't care.

I don't care. I don't want to understand all your parliamentary bull crap. Pass the damn bill. I don't care how you do it, as long as it's constitutional, pass the damn bill. And so it makes it feel like a game. You know what I mean? And I think... I think that's where people are. Because we were in a meeting today, and Jason said, we got to talk about what's happening with the House because they're saying this about, you know, Anna Paulina Luna, she doesn't understand the parliamentary. And I just said, shut up. I don't want to hear. I don't care. I don't really care. I don't think that they're serious. I think Anna Paulina Luna and others, I think Mike Lee and the Senate and others, I think they're serious about it. I don't know if John Thune is serious. I don't think he is. I honestly don't know if our Speaker of the House is serious. I hope he is, but I don't know. Stop playing the game. I don't really care. Just get it done. How hard is that? Apparently if you're in Washington, it's damn near impossible to understand. All right, more in a minute. If you had to live like your ancestors did, you'd be doomed. Think about it. You'd wake up in a cave. Your back is already sore. I mean, you think your mattress is hard now. Your knees are acting up. Somebody's telling you, hey, we're chasing the woolly mammoth today. Better hurry. And you're like, Can I just go gather some berries and some twigs and call it a day? Luckily, you don't have to hunt the mammoth, or do you?

Coming up, Glenn makes the case that Marco Rubio is in President Trump's 2026 season of The Apprentice. Insight you won't get anywhere else next on the Glenbeck program. I want to give you an observation, and I don't know. I'm going to tie it to some facts, and then you can draw your own conclusion. I don't know what I'm about to tell you if the conclusion is accurate or not, but it feels right to me. Watch Marco Rubio. I think we're in the game of The Apprentice. I really do. I think that's what we're watching. A real-life apprentice. There are memes that go around. And memes are funny because, you know, they're mostly true. Okay. And the memes that go around are that Marco Rubio is running everything. You know, you've seen the meme. There he is, the meme of him on the couch as Maduro. There he is, is the mullah of Iran. I mean, because he has all these jobs, right? Secretary of State sworn in January 21st, 2025. Then he was made the acting administrator of USAID in February. There's two jobs. Then acting archivist of the United States in February. Then acting national security advisor on the 1st of May. Mike Waltz was moved to the UN. So that's four offices. For a stretch there, he held all four jobs at the same time. One man, four hats. Okay. And that's just the titles. Because underneath all of those titles, he's been handed to Venezuela transition after Maduro. He's been in the room and sometimes at the head of the table on Russia and Ukraine. He also co-led the Iran briefings on the hill. If there's a fire on the planet, I'm not sure if Marco does it. There's another forest fire out west. I'm not sure if he's like, Marco, you got to go out and hold the hose. Not sure. The easy read in this for me is Trump doesn't trust anybody. He doesn't trust anybody. He trusts people who can get the job done. Everybody in his organization, they're always double-tasked. Nobody ever in his organization ever says, that's not my job. So the cynical reach here is that you would say, well, he doesn't have a lot of good people around him, but that's not true.

Let me give you another perspective, because it keeps coming to me. I talked to, I don't remember which one of the Trump sons years ago. And we were talking, I was like, what was it like to grow up with Donald Trump as your dad? And he said, dad had a rule, laid it down when we were kids. If you ever want to take over this business, you have to know every single job that is done, everything. You have to know. Because if you not have a briefing on it, you have to do it, start at the bottom, sweep the floors, learn the pipe fitting, learn concrete pouring, all of it. Because if you don't know what everybody does, people are going to be able to BS you. And I think that's what happened to Donald Trump in the first term. He was a little biased by people because he didn't know exactly. He knows it now. So Marco Rubio, in 18 months, has run American diplomacy, foreign aid, national security apparatus, are archives. He has been negotiating wars, negotiating peace treaty, as I should say. He's done all of it. He's done all of it. Tell me that's not damn near every job in a building. I mean... He's the keeper of the nation's records, the man who holds the paper, diplomacy, money, war, memory, all of it. Trump has said out loud more than once. He told me before he, when he was running in 2024, I said, can you get this done in four years? He said, four, I've got two. I'm a lame duck after two years. He said, so I got to get, I got to get all of the heavy lifting done in the first two years. And then we need two more terms. Hmm. We need 12 years, Glenn. If you really want to kill this, you have to have three terms. So he's serving the first one, which means somewhere in the back of his mind is the question, who is going to succeed? Who's going to succeed me? Who's going to be the guy who steps in and can do eight terms that gets it? So here's my question to you. Is Marco Rubio doing what Donald Trump's sons? have done is Donald Trump schooling Marco Rubio whether he says it out loud, whether he even knows it, himself. Is that what's happening? Now, I know that sounds weird, but I think we're watching The Apprentice. But let me take you to 1814. Washington, D.C., literally on fire. British have burned the Capitol. They burned the White House. The President of the United States is James Madison at the time, and he's a fugitive in his own capital city. Secretary of War is John Armstrong, and he failed so horribly he's driven from office in disgrace because they just burned down the Capitol and the White House. The man's nearly mobbed in the streets. So Madison turns, who do I trust? He takes James Monroe, who's the Secretary of War. Monroe is still the Secretary of State. Now he's the Secretary of State and the Secretary of War. He has both jobs at once. It's the only time in American history where a president has made the same person fill two roles in a cabinet, okay? Two cabinet offices filled simultaneously, only time it ever happened.

But he also said, you're not going to do this behind your desk. Before the Battle of Bladenburg, Monroe rides out on horseback to scout the British columns himself because he doesn't trust the reports that are coming in. So the Secretary of the United States and the Secretary of War, both the same guy in the same saddle, goes out and counts the enemy troops with his own eyes. The guy didn't sleep for six months. Smoke clears, James Monroe. is the most obvious successor in the country for the president. And he wins the presidency in 1816, re-elected in 1820. And he's re-elected with all but one electoral vote. They named an entire era after how good everybody felt about it. And Marco Rubio is much more of a feel-good kind of guy. I mean, he is tough as the nails. I never thought this about Marco Rubio. I really liked Marco Rubio. And when did he run the first time? 2016. I really liked him. But he seemed kind of squishy. That guy's not squishy anymore. Not at all. So James Monroe was not Madison's protege. James Monroe was Madison's rival. In 1808, Monroe ran against Madison for the nomination, and Monroe lost, and it was bitter, and they had been friends from the beginning since the revolution, and they stopped speaking for years. So Madison brings him back not out of affection, but out of necessity, because the house is burning, literally. Monroe's the only one Madison believed could carry the water. Now, think about the ugliest primary of our time. In my lifetime, it has to be 2016. Marco Rubio. Think about the little hands. Think about what those two said to each other on the debate stage in 2016. Then look who's sitting in the second chair on Air Force One in 2026.

History doesn't repeat, but sometimes it rhymes so hard, your teeth hurt, you know? There's a pipeline that people have forgotten. 1801 to 1837, Secretary of State's office was the on-ramp to the presidency. Jefferson's Secretary of State was Madison, who became president. Madison Monroe, who became president. Monroe, Secretary of State was John Quincy Adam, who he became president. Jackson's was Martin Van Buren, who became president. It was so automatic that ambitious men, they schemed for the job. They didn't want the vice president. They wanted that one. And then when it stopped with James Buchanan in 1857, that's the last Secretary of State to ever become president of the United States. That's 169 years ago. Hillary Clinton had that job. John Kerry had that job. Colin Jerome Powell begged, was begged to run. Not one of them made it. In modern America, the Secretary of State's office is not an escalator. It's a cul-de-sac. You come in and you go out. It's not an escalator. But I think because... The Secretary of State always seems so damn pompous and so about other countries. That's why this ICC thing is so important for Marco Rubio to head. Look, Donald Trump could have come out and said, I don't want anything to do with the International Criminal Court, but he let Marco do it instead. So Marco is the one saying, it's got to be about America, not foreigners. That's not the Secretary of State as I grew up looking at the Secretary of State. Secretary of State was always about, yeah, being the person, you know, for the United States, but they're also, you know, they're very diplomatic. They don't ruffle any feathers, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Donald Trump doesn't anoint anyone. Donald Trump has never anointed anybody in his life. The show that made him a household name is called The Apprentice. Not the heir, The Apprentice! The entire premise, the entire moral architecture of that program was that nobody has handed anything. You have to earn it. Sixteen people fight for it in front of the whole world and every week somebody is sent home. And the guy who wins wins because he performed, not because he was owed. That's again different than what we have seen. It's always, well, it's his turn. Why? Why did they pick Biden? Why was that such a big deal? Because it was his turn? Why was Hillary Clinton so upset in 2008 that you get Barack Obama? Because it was her turn. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. It's not her turn. It's not anybody's turn. You have to earn it.

You know, we tried this. Do I have time to tell this story? We tried this for 24 years. The nominee for president, believe it or not, was chosen by a caucus of congressman in a room. And they actually called it the King Caucus. Not by the voters, not by a convention, a room. And in 1924, the room met, a fewer than a third of Congress even bothered to show up, and they nominated a guy named William Crawford. Now, you, this is what the system will spit out eventually. After 24 years, William Crawford is the guy. He had suffered a stroke, was partially paralyzed, and could barely see. That's the machine. That's what the machine picked. Their heir, the groomed man, because it was his turn. And the American people looked at it and they were like, no, no. And so Andrew Jackson took the case right to the voters, and after 1824, nobody tried the King Caucus again. That was over. That was the most anti-establishment act in the first 50 years of this country. And it was ordinary Americans firing the people they thought the presidency was theirs to hand out. That's what Donald Trump has done. I think that's one of the reasons why he likes Jackson, because there's a lot of reasons to hate Jackson. But he was anti-establishment. And he took the little, if the king caucus isn't what the Democrats do right now, no, we'll tell you who to run. Not a lot has changed. So I'm not telling you that Marcus, you know, Marco Rubio is going to be the guy that, you know, Donald Trump, you know, wants or anything else. I'm just telling you that he's being forged. Diplomacy, war, money, memory. He's learning every job in the building the way a certain father taught a certain set of sons, you know. And whether the president is doing this on purpose or whether the house is just on fire. And Marco Rubio is the only one that can write out, you know, and count the columns himself. The result is exactly the same. You can't fake what that does to a guy. You either come out of it as Monroe or you don't come out at all. But nobody hands you this country, not a caucus, not a party, not a president. And that's not a flaw in the plan. That is the plan. So I just say watch what Marco Rubio is doing. I think it's very interesting that he was the guy and not the president. He's the guy as the secretary of state who comes out and says, the ICC, we're done. We're out because it's wrong for America. The world doesn't control us. I'm wondering if he's being groomed. All right, back in just a second.

Let me tell you about our sponsor. It is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's really easy to feel overwhelmed. There's too much news, too much noise, you know, far too many people in this world who are just hurting whose stories never make it past the headlines. When missiles rain down on Israel, when sirens wail in the middle of the night, when families have to choose between staying in a war zone or fleeing with absolutely nothing, the world tends to look away. It happens all the time. But some people don't look away. They lift others up with food and shelter and security and hope because their faith won't let them do any less. That's why I'm grateful for the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Every single day, they're providing food and shelter and medical care and emergency assistance to vulnerable people in Israel who are living through extraordinary circumstances. Love is almost always best expressed through action, and that's what these people do. As America continues to celebrate her 250th year of independence, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews turns to God in prayer asking that his wisdom will guide elected officials and lead America and Israel to moral clarity and unity.

So we have got a couple of Supreme Court justices right now making a rare appearance on Capitol Hill asking for more money for protection and they should be given every time they need to remain safe. Let me go to Jason, who is with our insiders. What was the response from the insiders on this Marco Rubio being groomed thing? A lot of people in support of Marco Rubio and how you were framing it. One dissenter, Troy from Georgia, said he hopes that Marco Rubio doesn't run. He doesn't think he could ever vote for him. He's still a McCain disciple. I got to tell you, I don't think. I did think that was true in 2016. I thought he was much more McCain. I don't think he is. I think he has been around Donald Trump now long enough to go. No, I think actually this is the right way to go. I think he has an example now in front of him. I could be wrong on that. I hope I'm not, but I could be wrong on that. What are your thoughts, Jason? It's an interesting observation because he has always seemed like he was more of the hardliner, early talkish, when it comes to, you know, Venezuela, Cuba, or now Iran, and it was more of the JD faction. At least that's how it's been framed. But he was also, he was also gang of eight, and I don't think he's that guy. Ricky, what is your take on that? Quickly. Oh, I think Trump has already shown his hand on who he's. got in mind for 2028 because when he was asked about who's going to redecorate the Oval Office after you're gone, there's so much gold in there. He quickly replied, humans love gold. Do you think he's McCain Light or do you think he's changed? Do you think he's more of a Trumpian? Yeah, I think so too. I think he's changed. It's been a decade. Yeah. Okay. More in a minute. We're going to talk about the DSA and communism. Also, an article about the new Theodore Roosevelt Museum, and the guy gets it wrong entirely, and I'll tell you about it next. This year, America celebrates its 250th birthday. Two and a half centuries, Americans have worked hard. We've built a life. We've sometimes owned a home. That was truly ours. That's why it's so disturbing to learn that criminals don't have to break a window or kick a door in to come after that dream. All it takes is publicly available information, a Ford's signature, and some paperwork filed in the right place. Suddenly, you find yourself trying to prove that that home that was yours, you bought and paid for it. You worked hard to build equity in. isn't is actually yours that's why i want you to know about home title lock they provide 24 7 title monitoring they'll send you an urgent alert if something suspicious appears on the title and they have a 100% fraud restoration success rate wow to celebrate america's 250 home title lock is offering 25% off for the two years of the home title fraud protection that's a hundred dollars in savings and peace of mind plus a free title history report so

So last month at the Faith and Freedom Coalition, the president came out and said that a lot of the Democratic Socialist candidates now winning the election are not social Democrats. He called them hardcore godless communists. Now a lot of people like to take President Trump's words and say, well, he's exaggerating because a lot of times he does. It's the greatest is the biggest. Nobody ever thought there could be a bigger communist than this. However. Don't listen to the press because the press did exactly what the press does. CNN, their White House correspondent, went on the air and said, you know, the way, talking down to us like we're children, socialism is not communism and democratic socialism is certainly not communism. Well, okay, let's check, shall we? Let's do what CNN never seems to do. Let's actually check. So we did. And I'm going to give you the results of that here in 60 seconds. First, our sponsor this half hour is real estate agents.itrust.com. This is my company. I started this with my brother, gosh, almost 10 years ago. And I started because we were both frustrated. We didn't know how to find a... real estate agent and i had moved my whole life because i'm in radio and i couldn't hold a job um but uh i move and move and i never knew how to find a good real estate agent it was always guessing i don't know do anybody know a good real estate yeah i had somebody help me with my house oh my cousin is a real estate agent you should try them i don't know There has to be a better way. So I started working with the 500 best real estate agents, this according to the Wall Street Journal, and I learned from them, and I watched them, and I questioned them, and I figured out, okay, these are the traits they all have in common. How do we find those people with those traits? And so that's what my company does. We find those people with those traits, and then we check them, we talk to them, we vet them, we talk to their customers, we talk to people and watch their Google reviews. We make sure we find the best best of the best, at least to the best of our ability. That's who you're going to get when you go to real estate agents, I trust.com. So I don't charge you for this.

So just take the advice and let us do the homework for you. And then you do your own homework. It's real estate agents.itrust.com. Real estate agents, I trust.com.

Okay, so I want to tell you the story of the Democratic Socialists of America. And I got to tell you, when I started digging into this, I'm like, oh, geez, I've seen this story before. If you have been watching me for any time, this will take you back to the chalkboard days. And maybe in a couple of weeks, I'll do a chalkboard for insiders after the show on the Democratic Socialist because it sounds so familiar. Democratic Socialist America, it has a governing board. It's called the National Political Committee. After the 2025 National Convention, the far-left news aggregator, not a conservative outfit, or the Manhattan Institute, but one of theirs did a count on that board and published the count. How many communists are on the board after the 2025 National Convention? How many in the Democratic Socialists are actual communists? 51.9% are actual self-avowed communists. 14.8% are middle between socialist and communist, and 33% are what are called reformists. What does that mean? I have no idea. They didn't publish this as a warning, okay? They published this as a scoreboard. And on the 4th of July, on America's 250th birthday, the DSA announced it had passed 120,000 members. And they put that out with pride. They noted correctly that this makes them the largest socialist organization in the history of the United States. That's bigger than when Eugene Debs started the Socialist Party back in 1912. That was the peak of it. It's bigger than the Communist Party USA has ever been, even in 1947, when Stalin still had friends in Hollywood and Russia was an ally. Ten years ago, They had 6,000 people. 6,000. That's a decent high school now in major cities. Now it's 120. Let me show you where this organization came from because the story is not what you think it is and what anybody in the media is ever going to tell you. The man who founded it would be sick to his stomach today. His name was Michael Harrington. In 1962, Michael Harrington wrote a book called The Other America. Ricky, get that, have the library, get me a copy, original copy of that book, would you? The Other America. It's about the invisible poor. John Robert F. Kennedy Jr. read it and helped him kick off the war on poverty, from the other America and Michael Harrington. Harrington was a socialist, but he was also, and this is a part that nobody will tell you, he was also a ferocious anti-communist. He believed that the Soviet Union was a lie and a prison, and he believed the American left.

had to say so out loud every time without a single word of hedging because he did believe that there was a difference between socialism and communism and he made that very clear So the same year, 1962, a group of students meet at the UAW retreat in Port Huron, Wisconsin, and they write a manifesto. Students for a Democratic Society, SDS. This is where the old chalkboards come in from 2008. Tom Hayden held the pin there, and SDS at that point was still under the wing of the older labor socialist outfit that had one rule. One rule, and it was an exclusion clause. That exclusion clause, and the Teachers Union in California had it up until 2008, they excluded one group. You could not join if you were or ever had been or are a communist. Now, that rule existed because the men who wrote it had watched the communist hollow out one organization after another in the 30s, and they had learned. You let a communist in, and they're just going to devour you. So Harrington reads the Port Huron statement, and he goes to war. Not over, you know, economics, over just one thing. The kids refused to condemn the Soviet Union without qualification. They wanted to be in the, in the phrase of the era, anti-communists. They thought the exclusion clause was a relic. It was something, you know, a loyalty oath. And it was embarrassing. Only something our father is worried about with McCarthy. And Harrington is like, no, you don't understand. You don't know history. I fought these people. So he fought these people with SDS and he lost. And he later said, I handled it really, really badly. But in 1965, SDS took the exclusion clause out of its constitution. Now here's what happened next, because you're watching the exact same real play again today. With the door open now to communists, a Maoist outfit called Progressive Labor walked into SDS and started taking it over from the inside. Remember, this is a Maoist communist group, but they named themselves progressive labor. Why? Because that's what communists always do. They took this thing over chapter by chapter and caucus by caucus, exactly what's happening with the Democrats. By the summer of 1969, the national convention in Chicago blew apart. What came out the other side was no longer a student group. SDS, as I taught you on the chalkboards a year ago, was now the weathermen. The days of rage that came that October. In March of 1970, a townhouse in Greenwich Village blew up because the people inside, all former SDS members, all part of the weather underground now, were building nail bombs. And they didn't know what they were doing. A bomb goes off and three of them die. That's the arc from a manifesto about participatory democracy.

to getting rid of the exclusion clause, no communist, to a nail bomb, all in seven years. The hinge here, the only hinge on this, was the day they removed the rule that kept out the communists. They thought they were just removing a relic, but they were removing a wall, an important wall, and Michael Harrington spent the rest of his life building an organization that would never make that mistake. In 1982, he merged his group with another group called the Democratic Socialist of America. And the DSA carried in its bones a ban on something called Democratic Centralism. What the hell is that? Well, if you know anything about Lenin. It's a Leninist rule that you fight behind closed doors and then present one face to the public, one line, one voice, no dissent. Harrington's people said, no, we're not doing that. It was, in the words of a DSA member, a holdover from the group's anti-communist period and a ward against entreatism. Oh, what the hell does that mean? You know, one reason I hate communists is they make me learn a whole new language. Okay, what the award against entry. It is a ward. Like a charm you hang on the door. 2025 national convention, the DSA repealed this ward again. Okay. Now, entry, entryism. What the hell is that? Strotsky. 1934 he told his followers in France to dissolve their little party and walk into the big socialist party not to join it but to eat it from the youth wing outward It has a name in the trade because it works, and it's worked here before, and the people doing it right now are not even being coy about it. There's a caucus inside the DSA that published an essay titled, Communists Belong in the DSA. I'm telling you, gang, you might be a socialist and go, no, no, it's socialism. We don't want anything to do with communism. I don't think there's that many people fighting against it, honestly. But if there are, that's you. It's already written. It's already done. You took away. You took away the ban on communism. A couple of DSA guys went on a podcast recently, and they explained that the organization is the most fruitful ground they've got because the members there are open to the most radical position in the room. That's not my characterization. That's their characterization. That's a recruiting pitch set out loud in a microphone. You're crazy? You want to do, you want communism? Come on in. We'll listen to you. And when it comes to running the place, don't listen to the press. Don't listen to me. Let the votes tell you.

There's a Maoist in the DSA who goes by Black Red Guard, whose caucus put out a statement supporting the man accused of gunning down two Israeli embassy staffers. Remember the male and female that were killed, they were going to be married? Okay. Outside of a museum in Washington, D.C., black red guard in the D.S.A. puts out a statement supporting that guy. He got himself elected to something the DSA calls its Red Rabbit's Security Commission. So let me focus this here for you. A member of the National Board moved to remove this guy. The motion failed 15 to 10. 10 people out of 25 thought a caucus that celebrates an assassin should not be running their security. Only 10. Last month, the Marxist Unity Group put out an amendment to the DSA's national program. It passed 12 to 11. What does that say? Listen to this. You think they don't want to change the United States fundamentally get away from the Constitution and the Declaration? This is what they just passed. that the presidency and the Supreme Court of the United States should be abolished and replaced with bodies chosen by Congress and subordinate to Congress. We're not talking about extra help. See, this is what they said on the view. You know, I'm for firefighters and they're socialist. No, they're not. No, they're not. And that even if they were, that's not what we're talking about anymore. They just passed 12 to 11 the new policy that presidency and the Supreme Court of the United States should be abolished and replaced with bodies chosen by Congress and subordinate to Congress. Now, you can say it all you want, but you're the people that told me that, you know, there were no such things as Marxist or Islamist. And if there were, they would never rise to power. Zohran Mamdani. By the way, separation of powers, it's not just a feature of the American system. It is the American system. So the amendment is a proposal to end the republic. And it was passed by the board of the largest socialist organization in America, the largest one in history, by one vote. And I would bet you a year's salary that you've never heard this from anybody in the mainstream media. So here's what Democrats need to know. This is not your Democratic party of your father. Okay. I want to be precise what it used to mean because the Democrats have a history that is, you know, better than they remember and better than we give them credit for on this particular thing. In 1947, American liberals founded Americans for Democratic action and they wrote it into a rule, no communists. Not we disagree with communists, not, we don't want any in the building. And Eleanor Roosevelt signed on. Reinhold Nienmuller, Arthur Schlesinger, Hubert Hubert Humphrey, which is, this guy in Minnesota, he was the most liberal guy ever, okay?

In 1947, he and Orville Freeman spent 1948 physically driving the fellow travelers out of the Democratic Farmer Labor Party, which is damn near communist now. Precinct by precinct, in a knife fight, and it took better than a year. That same year, Henry Wallace ran for president as the candidate of the Popular Front and American liberals buried him. 2.4% zero electoral votes. Okay, so what does all this mean?

Okay, so I want you to remember in 1954, Hubert Humphrey, the most liberal man in the United States Senate, the man who forced civil rights onto the Democratic Party's platform, which cost them the South, co-sponsored a bill to outlaw the Communist Party in the United States. That's from the left, okay? The most liberal guy. No communist. It's called the Communist Control Act. Look it up. Still on the books. That was the Democratic Party your father argued with. He thought they were wrong, not just about taxes. He thought, you know, he knew they were not unclear about America and where the principles they fought for. And now this generation has no idea. So the Democrats had antibodies, ugly ones sometimes, clumsy ones, but antibodies. And they used them because they had watched what happened to every left-wing party in Europe that didn't have antibodies. And the antibodies are all gone now. They're not weakened. They're repealed vote by vote at a convention in 2025. So don't tell me the person flirting with this is harmless. Don't tell me it's a phase. It's a t-shirt. It's a Che poster, a kid who read half of marks and is growing out of it. The people who removed the exclusion clause from SDS in 1965 were not monsters. They were decent. They were idealistic. They were generous-hearted kids who thought the old men were paranoid. And that's the same thing. Seven years later, three of them were dead in a basement with a bomb they were building. Because here's the thing about this idea, and it's the only thing that has ever mattered about communism. It's not an economic theory that went badly. It's the theory of human beings. And it says you're not an individual. You're not endowed by your creator. You don't have infinite and unrepeatable worth. It says you're a member of a class, and you're replaceable. Once you're a member of that class instead of a soul, everything else is arithmetic. Math can't afford that. Well, we have to just figure out mathematically which one gets it and which one doesn't. A hundred million dead last century. That's arithmetic. You don't get to a gulag from, I care about the poor. You get there from you're not a person. You're a category. So don't dismiss it. Not because the 22-year-old in the DSA meeting is dangerous. He isn't. I'm sure he's lovely. He'll help you carry the groceries. You don't dismiss it because the idea is patient, and it's done it over and over and over again, and it always enters through the good people who took the ward off the door. The North Koreans call it the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Forget about the name. The name's not the guide. The name has never been the guide. Look at the votes and what they actually believe. 51% are self-avowed communists. Oh, he's craving a communist. He's crazy. Okay, whatever. Ignore me again. There's a home break-in every 26 seconds.

I don't tell you that to make you paranoid. I tell you that because the statistics remind us, you know, you can't think of this as somebody else's problem. It could be your problem. The good news is you don't have to just hope your house isn't next. You can know that. It's why I like Simply Safe. They've taken home security to a whole new level with active guard outdoor protection. If somebody is lurking around your property, their smart cameras can detect the threat. Trained agents can actually see what's happening, speak directly to the person through the camera, and contact the police if necessary. That's a very different approach than finding out a break-in after the window has already been shattered. You can't control the fact that there's been a home break-in every 26 seconds, but you can control whether your home is ready for the next time that it happens. It doesn't happen to you. Experience the same peace of mind that I have right now. You can get 50% off your new system by visiting simplysafe.com slashback. That's half off at simplysafe.com slashback.

All right. So I saw an article, and I don't want to wrap this person out. I don't mean it that way. I don't want to, I don't want to harp on this person because I think this is the way most people think of Theater Roosevelt. But on the 4th of July, in North Dakota, they opened the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, $450 million, okay? And, you know, there's a living avatar of Roosevelt. You can stand, you can argue with him, and talk to him and ask them all kinds of questions. Anyway. um so i saw this article i don't remember where it was but it was a conservative writer and they said they went out and they came out angry uh and i think it was in the federalist and they said because every exhibit that is in the building runs Roosevelt through the machine, the progressive machine, and hands you back a 2026 progressive Democrat, big government and fair shares and equity and all of that stuff. And the advice at the end of the piece is go and fire the lobby and but skip anything with words on it. And I understand the anger, but I have bad news for you. They didn't do that to him. That's who Teddy Roosevelt was. I've said this for a long time. I hate Woodrow Wilson. Because I think Woodrow Wilson had really evil designs. He knew exactly what he was doing. Theodore Roosevelt's at the beginning of this scientific era. And he's seeing that, oh, wait a minute, we can use science and we can use experts. And experts will be able to answer everything. And science will be able to solve all of the problems. And so, you know, this government doesn't really work. And he was at the beginning of that. Remember, he is the guy who started the progressive party. Okay. So understand the museum didn't go woke. The museum, for the first time, went accurate. And I think that's worse. Okay, start with a statue that's out front. Roosevelt on horseback on the steps of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Native American on one side, an African on the other, both on foot, both below him, stood there since 1940. There's a reason for all of it, and I'm not going to get into the whole statue thing, but the museum wanted it to come down. Everybody was like, oh, it's got to come down. That's all racist. And the Roosevelt family agreed, and the city agreed. So it came down. And in 2022, it was shipped to North Dakota on a long-term loan. Now, when this library opened up two weeks ago, the statue wasn't in it. It's still sitting in a storage facility because the New York loan, the term limits, require an advisory council of indigenous and black representatives to re-contextualize it before anybody is allowed to look upon it. It's ridiculous. But everybody said, there it is, there it is, woke New York, ashamed of a great America and a great American and what he did. But here's what nobody said.

In September 1921, that same museum hosted the second International Congress of Eugenics inside the halls in New York City, inside the Museum of Natural History. The president of that museum, Henry Fairfield Osborne, presided over the Congress himself. Charles Davenport ran the Eugenics Records Office at Cold Springs Harbor. You don't know what Cold Spring Harbor is? Look it up. It's terrifying. That was all run on Carnegie money. He chaired the publications of it. Charles Darwin's son gave an address. They built an exhibition in that hall, in that museum, full of charts and family pedigrees arguing that the, and I'm quoting, the wrong sort of immigrant was degrading the American stock. I want you to understand this is the progressive movement. Okay. It went so well. They did it again in the same building in 1932, but tear the statue down. Okay. So the museum that removed the statue because the composition expressed the radical hierarchy is in the same building that hosted the conference that taught the hierarchy. Nobody put a sign on that. That's honestly, that's an exhibit. I'd love to see that one. Now, let me turn it to Roosevelt himself, because I'm sorry, but the article is wrong. January 3rd, 1913, he's out of the White House. He's working as an editor at the Outlook, the Outlook's letterhead, and he writes a letter to Charles Davenport. It's in the archives. You can read it. We have a copy of it at the archives in Dallas. And he tells Davenport, the studies are instructive and ominous. And then society has no business permitting, you know, permitting degenerates to reproduce their kind. Okay. It's extraordinary. He writes, we have to refuse to apply human beings the same elementary knowledge every farmer applies to his own stock and that's madness. We have to do that. No farmer would just allow his stock to breed with just any other cow. The farmers who let all the increase come from the worst stock would be threatened as fit inmates for an asylum. That's from the letter. And then this. The inescapable duty of the good citizen of the right type is to leave his blood behind him in the world. And we have no business permitting the perpetuation of a citizen of the wrong type. Right type, wrong type. Categories. What I've been saying for the last month, this is, oh, this fight is about categories. It's about, you know, the collective and not the individual. In his own hand, to the director of the Carnegie funded Scientific Institute. This was not the fringe. This is the cutting edge. This is the settled science that you must pay attention to of the time. And Theodore Roosevelt believed in the science and in the expert and in the government strong enough and clever enough to act upon what the experts knew. That's progressivism all in one letter.

Now, was he great with the national parks? Yeah, he was great on national parks. Was he great on the individual and the man in the arena? Yeah, he was brave. He was funny. He read a book every day. A book every day. He took a bullet in Milwaukee and finished the speech. He set aside 230 million acres. That's not the argument. He did a lot of great things. The argument is what he thought the American government was for. Kansas, 1910, the new nationalism. The property is subject to the community's right to regulate its use. The executive is the steward of the public welfare, not the servant of the law, the steward of the public. Columbus, Ohio, February 21st, 1912, in a speech he called a charter for democracy, he proposed when a court strikes down a progressive statute, the people should be able to vote to overturn the court. Former president in the United States in 1912, proposing a popular recall of judicial decisions. That's not constitutional. That's not how it works. You can do that, but the Congress just has to go and rework that law until it's constitutional. 2025, a Marxist caucus put out an amendment through the National Board of the Democratic Socialists of America, passed it 12 votes to 11, just told you, abolishing the president and the Supreme Court and subordinating what's left to Congress. That's Bull Moose. Okay, that is Bull Moose.

This is just, Theodore Roosevelt is exactly what we were seeing. He's just dressed up in prettier clothes. He's not a despicable man where Woodrow Wilson is just a despicable man. And I don't think he actually saw what was coming. I think that Woodrow Wilson saw what was coming and didn't have a problem with it. I mean, he loved the communist revolution in Russia. One, the bull moose, that's a caucus in a hotel ballroom. But it's the same instinct wearing the different clothes. Separation of power is just a speed bump, and the will of the people, as interpreted by the right people, can't be slowed down. And Roosevelt was the moderate in that election. He lost to a man who was further out than he was. Woodrow Wilson taught the government is not a machine but a living thing accountable to Darwin, not to Newton. That the Constitution is an organism that has to evolve. And when he spoke of the declaration, he told audiences that if you want to understand the real Declaration of Independence, you cannot read the preface. You know, that's the part where all men are created equal and the God part. He knew exactly what he was doing. You cannot build an expert administrative state on top of rights granted by a creator because rights that come from God can't be revoked by a commission of experts. So he knew the preface had to go. And once the preface goes, you're not a soul, you're a specimen. Buck v. Bell, 1927. Carrie Buck, poor girl in Virginia. Supreme Court rules 8 to 1 that the state can sterilize her. And the opinion is written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, the great progressive mind of his generation, who writes the sentence, three generations, I'm quoting, three generations of imbeciles are enough. More than 60,000 Americans were then sterilized under the laws that came from that decision. And when the Germans drafted their sterilization laws in 1933, under Hitler, they got it from us. Mostly from California. California was the model. So that's not a detour from progressivism. That's progressivism arriving on schedule. So don't think this woke business fell out of the sky in 2015. It didn't. It's been running for 120 years and the engine has never once changed, ever. The engine is this. You're a category. You're a type. You're stock. You're a unit. You're a number. And you can be improved or eliminated by the people with better degrees than you have. And the DSA just repealed the last rule keeping the communists, the people who only look at people as numbers, out of the building. Same track. Same track. Progressivism has no breaks.

So that's who Teddy Roosevelt is. And I hate saying it because I like it. But the statue thing was never about a man on a horse. It was about a philosophy that looked at the American people and saw livestock. The declaration says the opposite. You're endowed by your creator before any government ever met you. Those are two radically different tracks. And one of them goes back to that sentence. The other goes forward. And the next station is not called progressivism anymore. It's not. It's called communism. It's called death. I urge you. Look at Theodore Roosevelt. Look at the truth. Look at that letter from the overlook. And look at the votes because we're here again. Back in a minute. All right. Let me tell you about Rough Greens. If you own a dog, you've probably had this thought at least once. I wish they could stay this age forever. Whether they're a playful puppy or they've been your best friend for years, there's never really point where you're like, you know what? I think we had enough time together. You know, I miss Uno so much, so much. What Dr. Black did with new rough greens and their 90-day challenge is he's making a bold promise that I've seen it was kept with my dogs. Healthier, happier dog in 90 days. And the reason is pretty simple. Even the best dog foods have one thing in common. Live nutrition your dog was designed to thrive on just doesn't. survive the manufacturing process. It doesn't. It cooks it all out. It's super high temperatures. And then it sprays stuff on it for flavor and they eat it, but it doesn't have it. And that's why your dog is eating crap, literally eating crap. Their body knows they need something. This adds live probiotics, enzymes, omega oils, and more than 20 vitamins and minerals back into every bowl. You'll have a happy dog for a longer life. I know it. I had it with my dogs. For more years together, it starts today. Go to rough90.com, RUFF90.com, Rough90.com. Rough greens makes any dog food better. Ow, crap. Turns out. When did that get there? Common sense ain't all that common. But around here, it's still standard equipment. Glenn Beck returns in a minute.

All right, there's a lot to talk about on tomorrow's program. I hope to get to the killing of the conservative, very powerful conservative in England. This is the first time, Ricky, you looked this up, you did some homework on this. When was the last time they had a political assassination like this in England? Because they're rare. It's been some time. And most of them were IRA attacks. So this is the first time they've seen a leftist political assassination. So this was a not just a leftist, a communist that went and shot a very effective voice, or I don't know shot, but killed, murdered, a very effective voice on the conservative side. And today we have two Supreme Court justices on Capitol Hill asking for more security. And Congress, you should give them what they need. Protect the Supreme Court.
