Trump ‘Shocked’ the Military With His Disruptive Tweets on Transgender Troops

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump stunned everyone, including military leaders at the Department of Defense and the Pentagon, by unleashing three unexpected tweets saying that transgender troops would not be “allowed” to serve.

Thursday on radio, Glenn agreed that the military should focus on protecting the country and not be burdened with extra medical costs, but he objected to Trump’s disruptive tweets.

"The pentagon didn't know the president was going to say these things. The pentagon wasn't there. They were shocked. In fact, the Secretary of Defense was on vacation," Glenn reported.

According to a story from Politico, the tweets were intended to distract from activity in the House.

Trump's Transgender Ban Is a Legal Land Mine

House Republicans were planning on passing a spending bill stacked with his campaign promises, including money to build the border wall with Mexico. Trump was apparently reacting to an internal Republican fight about transgender troops that threatened to take down the bill.

"Let me just say this...defund the GOP," Glenn stated. "The internal fighting is what made Donald Trump say, 'I'm just gonna say this and tweet this out.'"

Our military put their lives on the line more than anyone in the general population and certainly more than politicians.

"They make much less money. We give them the absolute worst medical care after they have fought and died for us, they're dying in line at our stupid socialized medicine VA hospitals. Knock it off. Let the military make the military decisions --- period. You want a bill passed? Get off your fat ass and go to Capitol Hill and actually get them to pass the bill on its merits. Do not use our military as a pawn or a token," Glenn said.

GLENN: Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. All right. Let me give you an update on what happened yesterday. Yesterday around this time, Donald Trump tweeted these tweets:

After consultation with my generals and military experts, please be advised the United States government will not accept nor allow transgendered individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. military. Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with a tremendous medical cost and disruption that transgender in the military would entail. Thank you.

All right. At first blush, I want to say I agree with the president on this. Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with tremendous medical cost and disruptions that -- and I just take out transgender and put that anyone in the military would entail.

So on the forefront, I want you to know. I am not for anything that disrupts the military. With that being said, let's start with this disruption. This tweets, this policy shocked the pentagon. The pentagon didn't know the president was going to say these things. The pentagon wasn't there. They were shocked. In fact, the secretary of defense was on vacation. Why did this happen? Why did he make this? Well, politico reported last night the house Republicans were planning on passing a spending bill stacked with his campaign promises, including money to build the border wall with Mexico. But an internal house Republican fight over transgendered troops was threatening to blow up the entire bill.

So what happened? The internal fighting between the freaking GOP. Let me just say this. Define GOP. The internal fighting is what made Donald Trump say "I'm just going to say this and tweet this out. And hope to get that bill passed."

Trump's sudden decision was in part a last ditch attempt to save the house proposal full of his campaign promises that was on the verge of defeat. Numerous congressional and White House sources said.

Okay. So to get something else done, he causes disruptions in the military. The military has been studying this, and they asked for more time. They asked for everything -- any decision to be delayed until I think it's January 1st, 2018. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't hate anybody. I don't -- what you do is your business. What surgeries you want to have, your business. How you identify. Your business. But the military is in a special class. It cannot be disrupted from excellence. It cannot be a place where anyone gets special favors.

If you saw the movie hacksaw ridge, they were brutal to this kid because he's going to get us all killed because he is somebody who won't pick up a gun.

Okay. Well, that didn't turn out to be the case, did it? But he wasn't given any special favors. What he was promised was what everyone is promised. If you're a conscious objector, we'll send you to the front lines. We don't recommend it. We think you should leave because there are people with guns, and we can't count on you. So everybody in the team, don't count on that guy to save your life because he ain't going to.

Okay. Promised in the Constitution. But you have to hit all of the standards. So let me go through this point by point.

First, yesterday it was announced that we have 4,000 transgender people in the military. I don't think that number is true. But let me play this both ways. Just think this through logically. That comes from the Rand corporation. And what the Rand corporation did was just take the general population and then say this is how many we have in the general population percentage-wise. Let's just put that against the military. So that would mean if it's exactly the same in the military as it is in the general population, there would be 4,000 people serving.

We do know that once this transgendered thing came out from President Obama, the military you were open to come out and say "I'm transgender."

Only ten people raised their hands in the entire U.S. military and said "I'm transgendered."

Now, I don't care if it's 4,000 or ten. What does that tell you? That tells you that transgendered people had been serving in our military, and they haven't caused a disruption. Because did you know we had any transgendered people in the military? I mean, it's not something I ever thought of. It's kind of like, you know, the way I was with gay people in the military. I don't know. Of course, there are gay people in the military. There are gay people have been, you know, presidents, kings, villains, great guys, you know, fighting in the opposition military and fighting in ours. Forever.

Of course, there are gay people in the military. And as long as they're not causing any disruption to the actual job of the military -- and I say that about anybody. As long as your faith -- if there were a group of Mormons that are, like, okay. I cannot fight on Sunday. You're out, dude. Because there's going to be fighting on Sundays.

So there are ten people that we know of, and they had to self-identify.

So as long as you can do the job, I'm good. And I think every fair-minded American is that way. As long as you can do the job, I'm okay. As long as you are not asking for any special exemptions or special favors, I am good.

Next point. Point number one. There are people already doing it. We only know of ten. Don't believe the numbers. It might be more than ten, but it's not more than 4,000.

Two. I looked up elected surgeries that are given to vets and soldiers. Elective surgeries are not covered by the VA. Lifesaving surgeries are. For instance, liposuction. Liposuction is not covered by the VA unless it will save your life. Then the VA covers it, and you'll get liposuction. But not for everybody who says "I'm a little fat."

So is this a life-saving elective surgery? No.

In fact, the research shows exactly split at best when it comes to the suicide rate. This is gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria means you feel and think one way or the other. Okay.

Where does that end, in the first place? In Canada, they are currently dealing with another dysphoria, and that is capable and handicapped dysphoria. People are going into hospitals now and while I can say with this, I'm going to. It's sick.

They're going in and saying I don't feel fully capable. I have always identified as a person who is handicapped who only has one leg. And they're asking doctors to take off a leg because they identify as a handicapped person.

Any doctor that would perform that is insane and needs to lose their license. When it comes to gender dysphoria, okay. Is it life-saving?

Meaning, if you want to do that, you can pay for it and on your own time, unless it's life-saving. I'm not giving people liposuction. I'm not giving them plastic surgery. But if it's lifesaving. Okay. Let's look at life-saving.

46 percent is the suicide rate for those with gender dysphoria. 46 percent. So anybody A, who doesn't have empathy and compassion for those people who are struggling with gender dysphoria, God help you.

46 percent.

Now, those who have the surgery, what is their suicide rate? The most positive suicide rate study that I can find shows that it is 46 percent of those who have gender dysphoria commit suicide. Those who then go on and have the surgery, 45 percent of those commit suicide. It's flat. It is not a life-saving treatment.

Okay. So elective surgery for life-saving treatment. When you look at the younger demographics, people who are 18 or below, people who are in their 20s and have this surgery, those numbers begin to shift, and the suicide rate for those who have had the surgery actually goes up. So you can make the case that this surgery is not lifesaving. In some groups, it actually kills you faster.

Three. Can you meet the standards? As long as you can meet the standards, I don't care. And I don't think any American cares. But you've got to climb that wall. You've got to carry that pack. You have to be able to protect your brothers in arms. It's not just your life. It is all of our lives. And the future of our country and our children. Anything that government does, it should be the -- the military should be the last place culture changes, unless it is a rape culture. Unless there is actual abuse going on and damage going on because of the culture.

When it comes to new ideas in the culture, new experiments in the culture, the military should be exempt from all of that.

The only question is can you perform the duty?

My dad wanted to be in the marines really, really bad. He wasn't welcome. My dad somehow slipped past the doctors with his flat feet. But my dad stood on a marble floor in our bakery that had these old, marble floors. Our bakery used to be in the lobby of an old hotel. And then they converted it into a bakery, and we bought it. My father walked on marble floors his whole life. That man stood all day long making cakes and pastries and everything else. And his feet hurt.

He got past the screening process to get into it military. Unfortunately, the standing he said that they had to do something -- and this is the way I remember the story as a kid. They had to do something where they had to stand on one foot for a while, and then another foot, and he could not do it. And he was ejected. Nowhere at no time have I ever heard that story on my family on that damn military. My dad said they had standards. I couldn't meet them. And it was one of the biggest disappointments of my life.

Hit the standard, and everyone is welcome. Miss the standard, and I don't care who you are. You're out.

Politically, knock it off. GOP, Donald Trump, DNC, knock it off. These people work their ass off and put their lives on the line more than me or anyone in the general population and certainly more than you politicians. They make much less money. We give them the absolute worst medical care after they have fought and died for us, they're dying in line at our stupid socialized medicine VA hospitals. Knock it off. Let the military make the military decisions. Period. You want a bill passed? Get off your fat ass and go to Capitol Hill and actually get them to pass the bill on its merits. Do not use our military as a pawn or a token. Period.

Why California Officials Shouldn’t Get a DIME of Wildfire Aid Without MAJOR Conditions

House Speaker Mike Johnson has caused some controversy by suggesting that any wildfire aid given to California MUST come with conditions. But should this be controversial … or common sense? Glenn reviews 3 reasons that the Californian government shouldn’t receive a DIME from U.S. taxpayers without major restrictions. If the REAL “science deniers” like Governor Gavin Newsom can’t admit that their own policies helped fuel this disaster, Glenn argues that we can’t trust them with our money. California was warned days before the fires that conditions could cause a blaze. And there are fires in the state EVERY year. So, why wasn’t California prepared?

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: But let me go into first, what is happening in California. The fires are still burning.

And, you know, good for them. Good for them.

Meanwhile, we have Newsom, talking about his marshal plan to rebuild Los Angeles, and let's go to cut three there, please.

VOICE: Over the course of the next several years in Los Angeles, will be hosts to the World Cup, and then the Super Bowl. And then the Olympics.

With this rebuilding effort, needing to take place, is LA going to be ready for all those global events?

VOICE: All that opportunity, that pride and spirit, that comes from not just hosting those three iconic games, but also the opportunity I think to rebuild at the same time. And that's why we're already organizing a marshal plan.

We're already looking at a team, looking to reimagine LA 2.0. And we're making sure everyone is included, not just folks on the coast.

People here, that were ravaged by this disaster.

VOICE: You just said, you're organizing a marshal plan for the rebuilding of California. What is that marshal plan? Tell us about this marshal plan.

VOICE: We're starting to lay out.

We're still fighting these fires. We're already talking to city leaders. We're already talking to civic leaders. We're already talking to business leaders. Nonprofits.

We're talking to labor leaders.

We're starting to organize, how we can put together a collection of individuals on philanthropy on recovery.

How we can organize the region. How we can make sure that we are seeking federal assistance, for the Olympics more broadly.

But also federal assistance for the recovery efforts, and how we can galvanize the community.

GLENN: Okay.

So I'm glad he's talking about the future. This brings us to Mike Johnson.

Something that I haven't talked about. Haven't had a chance to talk about yet. He wants to put some restrictions. His aid proposal for California. Is that he's trying to put conditions on the aid sent to California. And people are saying, that's insane! You don't do that. Where is your compassion?

I want to talk to you about how compassion is sometimes difficult.

Compassion. True compassion is sometimes the hardest thing to muster.

Because you want to give, until you can't give anymore.

You want to help.

You want to be there. But you have an alcoholic. In California.

California is the political system is an alcoholic.

And it is destroying the entire state. And you don't say when an alcoholic is suddenly, you know, in the hospital, or, you know, really, really down, and, you know, out on the streets. You know what, I'm going to give you all the need to get back into your house. Because the alcoholic will spend that, and just end up in the same place, if not worse. Sometimes, you have to have tough love. You know this with your family. Any kind of aid, that goes to California, I think it is only responsible to aid the people, as quickly as possible. Aid the homeowners, as quickly as possible. Help them make sure that they have a place to go. Make sure that they -- like the government wasn't doing in North Carolina. Making sure that they have hotel rooms for as long as they need them, within reason. Now, within reason, many of these people are wildly wealthy. Some are very poor. There needs to be some understanding that the wildly wealthy. You know, we're not going to put you up at the Beverly Hills Hotel. That's just the way it is. Sorry.

But we're going to help the people. But when it comes to the state, if they cannot admit that this is not climate change, that this happened because of their policies. If they cannot admit that, they shouldn't get a dime.

I'm a taxpayer. I want to help California. Just like I want to help all the other states, when they have a problem, that they cannot handle. That is too big for their state.

But they took all of their resources. And honestly, you could make the case. I'm not. But you could make the case, this was intentional sabotage. Pragmatism now, I want to tell you about the three-fold problem in California, as I see it.

There are three things that are happening in California.

One, the Santa Anna winds, low humidity, and uncleared brush always causes fires. Always.

They are known to cause fires. They have been known throughout history.

Do you know why the great redwoods and the sequoias have grown for a thousand years? Do you know how those trees got so big? They're in California. How is that possible? How have they not been wiped out by fire?

We have to protect the sequoias. To an the sap in sequoias is fire retardant. That's why they can grow for a thousand years. God gave them.

God knew, there would be fires in California. Those trees have fire retardant as part of their life's blood. That's why they haven't burned down over and over and over again.

Normal trees don't have that. That's why fires burn all the time. And if you don't have regular maintenance on your forests and on your property, you are going to have a brush fire. And a brush fire turns into a forest fire.

And if you add 75 to 100-mile-an-hour winds. You could burn down the entire state!

Except, it seems for the sequoias and the redwoods. What this government of California has done, has stopped people in the name of the good of the forest and the good of the land, is to deny science. They have been denying science, for decades! They have been playing God for over a century!

They want to tell you, that a woman can be a man, and a man can be a woman, and a man can have a baby!

That's not true! That's denying science!

To say, that we can prevent the forest fires is a lie. That is as arrogant as saying, we can change the weather!

Now, don't think our government and governments all over the world, aren't trying to change the weather.

But let me ask you honestly. How do you think that's going to work out in the end?

How do you think cloud seating and putting gases and different things up into the atmosphere, or giant shades in space, to block the sun.

How do you think that's going to work out in the end?

Well, or will it end the same way our arrogance always ends?

There are things that we can do.

To mitigate natural occurrences.

For instance, if you were -- let's say, you got on December 2nd.

Can we get that weather warning up from the National Weather Service. It's January second, next Tuesday through Thursday. January 7th through the ninth.

A chance of moderate, to strong Santa Anna winds.

This is for -- is from the National Weather Service. Ready, set, go.

Readyforwildfire.org. Impacts. Extreme fire growth behavior possible, if a fire starts and power outages. Use extra caution with potential fire sources.

Now, this was added the week before the fires!

Now, that's the National Weather Service, giving a warning to the people of California. You can bet, that government agency, let other government agencies know, at the same time.

Continually didn't go up to your house.

It went out to everybody's house.

It went to the firehouses. It went to the governor's house. It went to the mayor's house. They knew in advance!

So let me ask you, in a nonprogressive state, what would somebody like Ron DeSantis do? What do we do for hurricanes? Hurricanes are like fires in California. You know you're going to have them, every single year. Am I wrong?

Okay. If you have them and you get a warning, one is potentially coming, that could be record-setting. What do you do? Well, I'll tell you what a nonprogressive state like Florida, with a governor who is -- is embracing reality. What he does, is he prepositions all of the utility trucks. Prepositions all of the lifesaving trucks. He makes sure that we have plenty of chainsaws. He makes sure that the -- the state is ready and literally waiting. So what should Gavin Newsom have done? When he got that warning, 100-year warning of a fire. He should have said, make sure all the reservoirs are full. Make sure that we have all of the fire trucks. Positioned. Put them in the high-risk areas. Just let them sit there. Have the firemen sit there in really dangerous areas. Make sure that if you see a fire or smoke, that thing is out right away. You can't get up these hills with fire equipment quickly. If you've ever been to California. It's honestly, like navigating the Appalachia. It's like going to North Carolina. Why? Were so many people trapped? Because it's impossible to navigate those hills and those mountains quickly! The same thing in California. Did they do that? No. Do they make sure that they had things in advance? No!

What is the one given if you're living in California? What is the one thing that you know is going to happen in California, besides political insanity. You know there's a chance of an earthquake? So what do you do? You build your building stronger, right? You know there's a chance of a mudslide. So what do you do? You make sure that you -- you have your foundations deep. But then you also, when you buy it, know, I'm gasping here. My house could slide down the side of this mountain. You're charged extra for insurance. But the one thing you know is going to happen every year, is fire. Why wouldn't California be the number one fire ready and resistant area in the United States? I'll tell you with why, in 60 seconds. Let me tell you about JASE Medical.

It's kind of been a terrifying past several months. At least when it comes to summer blockbuster level disasters from wildfires to hurricanes, sea to shining sea.

We've witnessed the danger that nature and mismanagement can bring. How many times last year and this year, so far have people been stranded without access to medications that they might need?

That doesn't have to be your family, or you. Because you know about it. And hopefully, you have the JASE case, by now.

It is a simple, reliable, emergency room supply. Of lifesaving medications to put control in your hands.

There's no way to prepare for literally every single thing that could go on.

But there's lots of ways to prepare for everything that you know could go wrong. The JASE case is a must have for that! This isn't about fear. It's about responsibility.

Being prepared, California, is the best way to protect your family and your future.

Don't wait for the next headline to wake you up. Don't wait for the government to do the right thing. You do it! Go to JASE.com. Enter the promo code Beck. Make sure you have the right medicine on hand the moment you need them. That's JASE.com. Promo code Beck. Ten-second station ID.
(music)
Okay. So I think there are three things happening in California, and this is why we're having this conversation today. And we're having to make tough decisions.

One, fires are natural, especially in California. They're going to happen due to global warming or not. When you have out of control homeless problems, your risk of fire increases. Why?

Because people who take meth, one of the side effects is, you like to see things burn. Also, you have homeless people, who start fires, maybe to stay warm.

Maybe just to eat.

But when you have huge homeless problems, your risk of fire goes up. You also have the Santa Anna winds. And the natural history of California.

They were unprepared. That's number two. Number one is, it's going to happen.

Any moron could see this happen. This wasn't 9/11 where, wow! We never thought planes could fly into the buildings. This is a wildfire in California!

It happens every year, just like the sun comes up every morning. Two, they were not prepared. They knew it was going to happen. They were not prepared.

Okay. Next thing: Their incompetence is borderline criminal. What they've done, not just in their incompetence, but by shifting funds away from fires. Away from preparedness. For something you knew that was going to happen, to I don't know.

To give more job opportunities for equal opportunity for lesbian lizard cults. By doing that and taking money away from the state, I'm sorry.

That's not just incompetence. That's borderline criminal. And, three, you have people who are now just joining in! What a surprise!

It looks as though, you have foreigners, here illegally, on our streets! Setting fires!
Who could have seen that one coming?

That's what's happening, in California it's natural!

It happens every year. They didn't prepare. They went the opposite direction. You have people joining in to help.

Now, I believe this fire started naturally. And then it's been helped by forces that I don't understand yet.

I don't know if this was a plot. Or just, you know, lone wolves, setting fires.

But also, nature helped by Santa Anna winds. Which he with understand.

And the incompetence.

Why would we give California a dime, without restrictions?

I'm not talking about the people, who are suffering right now, and have no money, and no place to go.

I'm talking about rebuilding in California.

Every dollar should have restrictions on it, to the government of California. Because I'm not paying for this twice. I'm not doing it!

They need to learn their lesson. Not the people.

The people in government.

Did Lip Readers DECODE Obama & Trump’s Conversation at Jimmy Carter’s Funeral?

Did Donald Trump and Barack Obama chat and laugh like old friends at Jimmy Carter’s funeral? Or was the footage misleading? Well, some companies have hired lip readers to figure out what they were talking about and they speculate that Trump wanted an urgent meeting with Obama. But maybe the lip readers aren’t as accurate as they seem. Glenn also reviews clips of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin News that tell you everything you need to know about them.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: All righty. I just -- to stop here real quick.

Just one more thing about Karen Bass, who is doing a bang-up job.

No. She is on fire. She is en fuego. Karen Bass. The mayor of Los Angeles.

She was given some information yesterday.

Cut 25, please.

She was fabulous.

Listen to this.

VOICE: Build stronger than ever. Right now, if you need help, emergency information, resources, and shelter is available. All of this can be found at URL.

Los Angeles together is how we move --

GLENN: Okay. I think we can stop there.

Stu, would you just find that information at URL for me?

STU: Yeah. Let me type on this.

URL. Got it. Perfect. Here it is.

GLENN: Wait. What?

STU: All the information I need is right here.

In fact, I will say --

GLENN: URL.

STU: All the information I needed about Karen Bass is in that clip.

It doesn't tell me anything about the fires.

GLENN: Nope. Nope.

All you need.

Can you imagine? People are at home.

If they don't know what an URL is, and who doesn't?

Honestly, at this point, who doesn't know what an URL is?

It's like, find all the information at www.dot, and they'll have all the information for you. I mean, oh, my gosh.

How can she possibly say that?

I mean, just not engaged in thinking at all.

But then again. It's hard to look back next to Newsom.

Did you see when Newsom was in the street? And some woman came up to him. And he's like, oh, I've got a -- I've got the president on the phone.

Really? Can I see it? Well, not now.

I mean, it's actually the King of England.

It's your husband I'm talking to right now!

He's really -- I've got somebody on the phone. I've got to go. Listen to this.

Cut 23.

VOICE: Governor, you've got a second? Governor.

VOICE: Nope, I don't.

VOICE: Governor, I live here! Governor. That was my daughter's school, Governor. Please tell me --

VOICE: Literally, talking to the president right now, to specifically answer the questions.

GLENN: He's literally -- stop. Stop. Stop. Hang on just a second.

He's literally talking to the president right now. Now, see how this lie falls apart. Go ahead.

VOICE: For you and your daughter.

VOICE: Can I hear your call? Because I don't believe it.

VOICE: I'm sorry. There's literally -- I tried five times this morning. I'm making --

VOICE: Why is the president not taking your call? Why?

GLENN: Hold on just a second. So he's literally not talking to the president right now. He's literally trying to talk to the president right now.

That's why he's walking around. He can't get cell coverage.

And, you know, honestly, what do you people in LA expect?

You know, phone coverage wherever you are?

I mean, you know, what are you -- there's a fire going on. What do you need cell coverage for?

Hello!

Oh, my gosh.

STU: It's incredible.

I was waiting for him to go, yeah.

And we'll help you as soon as -- oh, hold on.

That could be the president now. Hello!

Mr. President.

It's so bad.

GLENN: So bad.

STU: And I will say, it's really sad to see, the city of Los Angeles, go up in flames.

I'm not as sad to see Gavin Newsom 2028 go down in flames.

As we watch this go on.

How can this guy -- he wants to be your next president desperately.

He really does, wants to run no matter what.

But how can anybody put him in office after watching this?

GLENN: Well, you have to read the facts about him, and you can find the facts at URL.

Now, let me -- let me move on to the funeral yesterday, of Jimmy Carter.

I have never seen -- honestly, yeah. It was like the housewives of Washington, DC.

I have never seen the presidential squad with all the living presidents, look so crazy!

Let me just -- start with the video of them just walking in and being ushered in.

Because they're ushered in. One by one.

Bill Clinton looks like, you know. He's probably the next to go. I hate to say that. Melania was so stoic yesterday. Here's Mike Pence giving him a warm handshake to Melania and Trump. They're cordial to each other. Melania was so stoic. It was the one-year anniversary of her mother's death yesterday. So, you know, one year death of somebody like your mom is really tough.

And so she's at a funeral. And she's just -- I just think she's the classiest First Lady that we've had at least in my lifetime. I mean, I think she beats Jackie O. And she has pretty much the same kind of pressure on her that Jackie O did. And she's been classy all the way.

Then you get -- let's go to Obama cutting there with Donald Trump. They're at the funeral. The funeral I think is going on.

And play the video now of Donald Trump and Barack Obama.
(music)
Just sitting there, they're laughing.

I've got to get back into the lipreading thing here for a second.

But Barack Obama is laughing.

And my favorite part is, have you ever been -- you've been on one side of this.

One side or the other.

You know when somebody is talking and screwing around in a movie theater.

And there's that person, who doesn't want to say anything.

And is not going to say anything.

But they just turn around and give you a look like, die!

You know that look?

Usually comes from women. They just turn around and look at you like, stop it!

And they turn around, and they're in a handcuff.

Well, that's what happened with Kamala yesterday.

As Barack Obama is laughing. She turns around like that schoolmarm.

She turns around and looks at them, like die!

And then turns around and then picks up her program and pretends to read it.

And you know she's not reading it. She's just so angry, for some reason.

When they come in and they're seating. They seat the First Lady and -- and her -- the First Lady two, her husband.

When they're sitting down, then they bring in Jill and Joe Biden.

I mean, I'm in the mountains of the West right now.

It's -- I don't know. Outside, it's probably one!

It was colder in that church, when those two saw each other, than it is right now!

I mean, it was brutal. Brutal.

Let me see. Let me go to the -- go back to the funeral thing.

Where they're -- they're talking back and forth.

And let me tell you about the -- the lip-reader. Did you read about the lip-reader? What they said?

STU: I haven't heard that. Yeah.

GLENN: Okay.

So they're talking back and forth.

And at one point, Trump. This is according to a lip-reader.

Trump leans over to Obama, and says, I've pulled out of that.

It's the conditions. Can you imagine that?

Now, I don't know if he was talking about Kamala, or -- I don't know what -- it might have been some sort of a deal, global warming.

I don't know what it was. But the speculation, maybe it's the Iran Nuclear Deal, or the Paris Climate Agreement.

And they don't know what they were discussing, but Obama laughs.

So I don't know how this relates to that. He laughs. And then Trump says, and after, I will. So we don't know what that means. The TV cool camera, cut away from the two guys.

And then when it comes back on, Trump says, call me at the foy after.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And maybe that was the foyer, or there's a little known hotel called the Foy.

At this point, I'm starting to question the lipreading. You know what I mean?

Maybe he meant the foyer, but only said the foy, and he wanted to call him when he was in the foyer. I mean, it just doesn't --

STU: Oh. A lot of people abbreviate foyer, to foy.

GLENN: Oh, it happens all the time.

STU: Very common.

GLENN: Where did you leave that? I left it in the foy. Okay. Right.

So he said, call me at the foy after. Then Obama said, can you just -- it should be good. Again, that doesn't work as a sentence.

It doesn't work. Okay?

STU: Sometimes, you have information that you don't need to communicate with other people.

If what you came up with as a lip-reader.

He said, I want to -- he had squirrel.

If that is what you came up with. Just don't tell people.

GLENN: You're probably not reading it right.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Then Trump said, I can't talk.

We have to find a quiet place sometime.

This is a matter of importance, and we need to do this outside. So we can deal with it.

Certainly, today!

Okay. What would Donald Trump beat -- and then Obama is laughing.

What would be important, that would make Barack Obama laugh, that they had to deal with, today, the two of them?

The lip-reader also interpreted Obama as saying, listen to me. It's a chore. It's a chore.

Yeah.

Trump replied. I can't think of anything, that is a chore.

That sentence doesn't even make sense.

STU: No.

GLENN: It doesn't make sense.

STU: Who did they hire for this job?

This is the worst --

GLENN: I'm a lip-reader!

I know what they're saying. Soup. Soup.
(laughter)

GLENN: Soup.

I don't think that's what they were saying. I mean, maybe -- I don't know who they hired as a lip-reader. Oh, here it is. Here it is.

STU: Sorry. I didn't want to interrupt. We do have a sentence for Donald Trump that has just come down.

GLENN: Oh, we do!'.

You mean, from the lip-reader or the sentence from the judge?

STU: No, I'm lipreading people on TV, as we do the show.

GLENN: Okay. All right. All right. I got a sentence from the lip-reader. Cake is good!

STU: They've sentenced him to balloons. I don't know what that means. Why?

GLENN: What is the sentence?

STU: This is -- this is not me misreading the lip-reader.

This is the actual sentence.

The judge has sentenced Donald Trump to unconditional discharge.

I swear that's --

GLENN: I've had that before.

It's nasty!

You take some medication.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And it clears up.

But that unintentional. Or unrelenting. Whatever it was. Discharge can happen.

STU: Unrelenting discharge. If you have antibiotic cream, you can get rid of it quickly.

GLENN: Get rid of it. Quickly.

STU: So unconditional discharge means, they just let them go. That's what it is.

He walks out without any conditions. That's what this built up to.

We spent millions and millions of dollars to say, hey, Don. See you later.

That's it. That's the whole thing?

Fitting process.

GLENN: If you have discharge of any kind, call your doctor.
(laughter)
Unconditional --

STU: Unconditional discharge lasts for four hours or more.

You need to see a physician immediately.

The INFURIATING Reason Why Fire Hydrants Ran Dry in Los Angeles

The wildfires around Los Angeles are a historic disaster. But why was California so unprepared? Glenn reviews one of the biggest issues that has allowed these fires to spread: fire hydrants have dried up. At first, Governor Gavin Newsom, who loves big government, said this was a local issue. However, since then, he has started an investigation. But why, Glenn asks, did he first try to avoid the blame? Glenn reviews where California’s water situation came from: public-private partnerships between companies and unelected bureaucrats. “California, are you starting to understand?” Glenn says. “That’s why we say the Deep State is bad…no one is accountable.” So, will this tragedy be enough for Californians to wake up?

If you would like to help with the relief effort, you can donate at https://MercuryOne.org

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So as of yesterday, yesterday afternoon, the LA Times reported that at least five people have died in the fires raging across Los Angeles.

Officials believe the actual numbers are much higher than that. Thousands of homes have been destroyed. There is zero containment at this point. Over 130,000 people are under evacuation orders. The freeways are parking lots. It's absolutely out of control.

With it not even contained and heading towards Los Angeles, it is projected to possibly the costliest wildfire disaster in history.

Now, I mean, there's a tendency when things like this happen, to rush to politics, and that's understandable. There are questions that need to be answered.

Why does this keep happening in California? And why do the people in California, keep putting up with it?

Why is California never prepared?

You would think California would be prepared for wildfires. Right?

I'm going to address part of that, first. But first, let me tell you about Mercury One. As usual, one of the first responders there is Mercury One.

We are collaborating with multiple partners to get food and supplies to those who need it most. We are working with churches on the ground. Yes. There are some.

We are working with the nonprofits. If you would like to help the relief effort, go to MercuryOne.org. And contribute to the relief effort. A lot of work that needs to get done, and a lot of work that has to happen quickly.

By the way, so you know, and I'm going to give you all the information on this later. In North Carolina, while the president is saying that he's going to take care of everybody in Los Angeles. Don't worry about it. He's -- checks are on the way. The government will cover absolutely everything.

While he was saying that, Mercury One was on the phone, doing a transaction with several hotels, to pay for people who have nothing! And got their big 700-dollar check from the government. They were being kicked out. And I think we've -- I think -- I think we've put them up now for another six or seven weeks.

So, you know, what -- whatnots used in California, or they don't need in California, they still in need other disaster areas.

And we are there. So go to MercuryOne.org and help if you can. Now, many questions have to be asked and answered. Story came out yesterday, and I believe it was a pretty chilling example of what is to come in California.

If it continues to be as crazy. And it will be a blueprint for the rest of the country, if we don't all wake up. The story from The Daily Mail reads, quote, Governor Gavin Newsom's infuriating reaction after being asked why fire hydrants ran out of fire during the LA fires. Now, the fire hydrants ran dry. Right as firefighters were going to try to contain the breakout.

Now, this sounds like a conspiracy theory. But it happened!

And what was governor Newsom's response. I will read the quote. And try not to lose your breakfast when you hear it.

Quote, well, local folks will have to figure that out. That will be determined by local authorities.

Wait a minute. Hang on just a second. So the guy that holds the highest political office in California, who is constantly meddling in every single person's personal life. Who loves big government. More than comfortable with the phrase, trust us. We're the government. We know better. We're here to help.

The rubber meets the road. He's been doing all the deals with water. And he looks. Has the balls to look at the camera and go, what do you want from me? It's those guys. You talk to your local person, I have nothing to do with it. No, sir. That's not the way you guys have set California up.

California's water situation.

I mean, we've talked about this for years.

Years, we've talked about.

It is interesting to look at it. Because it's exactly what the Biden administration was doing with public/private partnerships.

It's all public/private partnerships. We talked about this before. We first saw this spoken out loud with places like the World Economic Forum

And then later canonized from the Biden administration. But what do public/private partnerships have to do with water in the Palisades.

Drying up in the middle of the most costliest wildfire disaster in American history.

Well, I recently saw Ana Kasparian send out a tweet on X.

Straight up dunking on Democratic leadership in California. She said, the Democrats were responsible for this disaster. No more passing the buck! She said.

Ana, quote, tweeted a video from an organization called, more perfect union. The tweet from the video states, quote, one billionaire couple owns all the water in California.

In 1994, the Resnicks, secretly seized control of California's public water supply. Now their companies use over 150 billion gallons every year.

While working class people suffer under drought conditions. Now, the video goes on to demonize Resnick and the family.

And the business conglomerate, for owning a vast amount of California water.

Now, I'm not letting this California company off the hook, okay?

But this is the response that always happens from the left. They treat corporations all across the spectrum the same way. And you see it in health care. Food production. Pharmaceuticals. On and on and on.

It's never the government's fault. It's those damn corporations.

It's always the corporation. Well, the corporations.

You know, a lot of people were mad when Donald Trump said, you know, the debate in 2016.

Well, how much taxes did you pay? He said exactly the amount I was supposed to pay.

Well, you didn't pay, you know, income tax on this or this.

And he's like, you want me to pay more taxes, then you have to change the law. I am operating in the system, you've gamed.

And everybody does this! So don't try to stick me out, because I'm rich. This is the way the income tax code works.

And he's right!

Well, they're doing the same thing with these corporations.

They make it so you can public/private partnership. They make it so you can go in and game the system.

And everybody has taken their share. All of -- you know why people aren't talking about Panama? The Panama Canal run by China now? You know why you never heard that?

Because all of the politicians. Most of them on both sides, were taking money from China. So they're never going to say anything. But now that China is bad, now that that's been exposed, I'm shocked that Donald Trump is actually exposing it. Because it's going to expose the graft on all sides.

And I'm happy about that. It's never the government's fault. May I propose, maybe there's a little bit more to the story here. Let's stick with California water here.

How did one family get into position where they hold the keys to a vast amount of the state's water. Well, the video goes into it. Listen.

VOICE: In 1994, state water officials, water infrastructure contractors, and agricultural land owners with water rights, arranged a secretive meeting at a resort in Monterey, California.

These groups, a mix of private companies and public agencies, rewrote California's water rules, without any input from voters, taxpayers or legislators. The new rules, called the Monterey Plus Agreement or the Monterey Amendments were devastating for working Californians and great for agricultural billionaires.

GLENN: Okay. This is going to make you very, very happy. Let's stop here for a second.

Is it really only good for the agricultural billionaires. And bad for the voters?

Were the giants of agricultures, the only ones at this, quote, secretive table.

No!

Now, they tried to make it sound, well, there was no legislator over there. There was no government officials.

Huh. Well, it's interesting.

Because corporations don't write laws. Or do they?

Can you get things done without your congressman or senator being involved at all?

Yes, you can!

Through the administrative state. Exactly what conservatives have been saying about the United States government. This way, there's no one to blame!

The members of the California assembly can all say, I didn't have anything to do with this.

And they didn't. They just set the system up. To be run by a bunch of bureaucrats. Who can make the deals for them. So who was joined in this secret table conversation?

State water officials. That's who. So in 1994, the Resnicks didn't twist their mess tash I don't see while simultaneously screwing over the state.

And I will tie Nel to the railroad tracks too. They were given this deal. They were made public/private partners with the lawmakers in California.

Now, after this deal was struck, water control, in times of shortage, went to the agricultural conglomerates, and first, then the urban areas like the palisades second.

You've got a problem with that? Well, who will you take it up with? The unnamed water officials that made this deal?

No! It should be with the elected officials. So there's someone you can go to and say, wait a minute. You made this deal.

This is a corrupt deal. Or this is a deal not in the best interest of the people. We're voting you out!

But see, progressives don't like accountability.

Progressives make it so the agencies have all of the power. California, is this starting to maybe come together for you?

You're starting to understand? That's why we say, the Deep State is bad?

Because they can get into all these public/private partnerships and do deals, and no one is accountable for it?

And then when it falls apart, then when people die, that's when all the government officials come out with their cronies in the media. And say, well, we had no idea.

This is wrong.

Those res nicks. Bad!

Well, they might be. I don't know. They might be bad.

But who sat at the table and put that deal together?

All right.

GLENN: So all the money that is exchanging hands here, isn't just good for the private businesses.

Oh, man, oh, man.

It's good for public lawmakers as well. Let's go back to the video.

Cut two.

VOICE: The Resnicks donate millions of dollars to politicians and research institutions, which help them secure control over water systems.

And even get more water and more taxpayer funding.

One important project is the proposed California Delta Tunnel, a taxpayer-funded project which would send water from Northern California to Central, where the Resnick's farms are.

They expend hundreds of thousands of dollars on state and federal legislation, and politicians who support the tunnel.

But their favorite politician is Senator Dianne Feinstein.

VOICE: You come in here and say it has to be my way or the highway.

VOICE: Chair of the energy and water subcommittee. She's a close personal friend of the Resnicks, attending their holiday parties in Aspen, and maintaining their financial interests.

A quick look through the bill she sponsored, shows several which would direct money to current adjacent water projects. The Resnicks even ask for things directly. When a pesky study about endangering salmon and fisheries, threatened the Delta Tunnel, Stewart wrote a letter to Feinstein, demanding a new study. She immediately forwarded it to the Obama administration, who agreed to spend 750,000 dollars on a new study.

GLENN: Yeah. A study came out the same way.

So we saved Chad Fishes. I don't know. I know one of the reasons why California is burning down is because we had to save the smelt. And who doesn't like a good smelt from time to time?

Okay. You buy the politicians. Then you buy off the experts.

You buy off the scientists. And you put it all together. And then you bring it to some bureaucrat. And they shut town the water.

That's what's happening in California. Oh, well, that and fact that remember, one of the last forest fires was blamed on the electrical companies.
Because they had a transformer blow.

And, well, that just never happens. And it started a wildfire. And so what did they do?

This time, when there was a wildfire, the electrical company said, we don't want to make this worse, shut down the power. Well, when they shut down the power, that also shut down the pumps, at the water pumping stations.

So they couldn't pump any water, if they had any water.

And the -- Gavin Newsom actually addressed this yesterday.

And he said, we've talked to the -- we've talked to the White House. And we're having generators shipped out here, as fast as we can get -- you don't even have generators at your water pumping station?

What the hell!

I mean, how did you not think this?

How?

What -- what was your plan? I would love to see their plan!

But this just explained. What you're seeing in California is exactly what is set up by the progressive left, all over the country.

It also explains how corrupt government officials and their crony relationships are destroying more than just California. It describes what's happened to American health care. It explains what's currently happening with big pharmaceutical companies.

Big food. The media. The border. The homeless problem.

In blue states all across the country see California?

That's what you're going to get. Public/private partnerships are poisoning the soul of our country.

They're also causing some to turn violent.

The stage is being set for the coming insurrection. If you know what that means, I don't use that lightly.

Taxpayers give their money to the government. The government then goes into business with private partners.

The money and the profit stays in their lucrative little circle.

But when anything goes south, who gets the blame?

It's not the government. They get off scot-free.

Progressive, leftists, they will pin the blame solely on corporations. Or when it comes to water, Gavin Newsom tries to pin it on the local people. I don't know. You will to have talk to the local people.

What does the local person have to do with the water coming out of the water fire hydrant?

What? What do they have to do with that?

They sit back and laugh over and over again.

I think it's country. We're going in deep on this. On Blaze TV very soon.

But I think -- I think this is a turning point.

You know, who had on their bingo card, the complete and total destruction, of the second largest city in the country?

As the turning point for progressives?

And if they don't turn on this one, man, what is it going to take?

The moon coming crashing through the roof of your house. That's been painted. Wake up!

Would that -- would that do it? Maybe. Space aliens. They took out their little drones. And they spray-painted the moon, wake up. And California still didn't wake up. So they just started dragging the moon closer and closer and closer to your house in California!

My gosh. Wake up, California.

I think they are. I think they are.

But will they just replace Gavin Newsom with somebody else exactly like this?

Or will they start to wake up and say, wait a minute.

Our government is corrupt. It's making deals that don't actually help or represent the people of California.

They may not have our best interest at heart.

Microsoft Elites EXPOSE the Entire Playbook by Re-Opening Three Mile Island

Want to know how the elites’ playbook works? Take a look at Three Mile Island. For decades, the media used Three Mile Island, the site of the worst commercial nuclear accident in US history, as the poster child for why we CAN’T invest in nuclear energy (even though the incident resulted in ZERO deaths). But now that Bill Gates needs more power for Microsoft’s data processing centers and AI programs, the media is once again rejoicing over nuclear energy! Glenn explains how this tells us all we need to know about how the elites work: They’ll use propaganda and lies to stop average Americans from having nuclear energy, but as soon as THEY need it, they’ll reverse course.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I need to you hold my hand, a little bit. A little bit.

Because my head is going to explode.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Let's start first with Biden ending his regime, the same way he started.

Ask that is banning energy.

He has just banned offshore drilling in 625 million acres, of federal waters.

So that is -- land area as large as, think of this.

As large as Alaska, Texas, and Montana, combined. Just Alaska and Texas, isn't that -- wouldn't that cover the entire United States?

Isn't Texas like half of it, or just a little less than half.

And Alaska is -- is more than half?

STU: I mean, no.

Not that big.

But --

GLENN: Pretty close. It's pretty close.

STU: I'm sure, the way they describe that being Alaska. I mean, Texas is already in the map.

So you know how much of that -- that covers. But, you know, the way they wrote that.

Pretty big, right?

Alaska, Montana. Texas, together.

Pretty significant.

GLENN: Okay. Now, he has stopped the drilling for oil.

Now, the good news is, there's no oil being drilled anywhere in this. It just puts a cap on the future. Which I love, when old people decide to dictate the future from the grave. I love that.

STU: I love that too. By the way --

GLENN: They're digging it.

STU: And not good news. That there's no development there railroad.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

STU: It's plainly not good news.

But, you know, you're right. He's just trying to put these things into place. So they cannot even be reversed.

GLENN: So this is the entire east coast. The eastern Gulf of Mexico. Along Florida's coast. And the Pacific coast, California, Oregon, and Washington State.

It also closes off the remaining 44 million acres, of the northern Bering sea, climate resistance area, in northwest Alaska.

Now, this is quite amazing. And as Stu said, and as Donald Trump said yesterday, he is -- he's doing everything he can, to make this transition as difficult as possible.

He did this one, because it's going to take an act of Congress, to be able to reverse it. Because of the way this particular law was written. It gives the president the ability to block land. Think of this.

But through executive order. But not unblock that land.

That's got to go through Congress.

If that's not absolutely the reverse of common sense, I don't know what is!

So, anyway, Trump has vowed to fight this. But it will have to go through Congress.

Now, think of what has happened with us and energy.

When -- when Joe Biden came into office, we were energy independent, for the very first time.

Energy allows us to have heat. Energy allows us to have hospitals, that work.

Energy allows to us produce products, here in America. It helps you get to work, with your car.

What did they do?

They took the oil and petroleum industry, and did everything they could to shut it down.

Who -- who really got hurt in that?

Well, you did. You did.

You got really hurt in that. Because everything, including food, went up.

Because petroleum is in almost everything. Which is another story, and we'll talk about with RFK at some point.

But you cannot run a modern society, without petroleum. Just can't be done.

But they didn't care.

And I said, at the time. If you want to go to clean energy, that's fine!

But you have to have something in between, and I said, you know, if you were coming out and saying, that we were going to open up, nuclear power plants.

If you were going to go that way. Which has proven the cleanest energy. And the safest energy of all time.

If you were doing that, well, then, you know, we could have a conversation. But you wouldn't.

In fact, in 2022. California, they were so desperate for power, that they kept the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, extended it for five more years. But they were shutting down everything they could!

Everything they could. Power plants! Nuclear power plants.

Gone! Okay?

Because how many times do we have to hear it? It is so dangerous.

We could all die.

From bad nuclear burns.

It will be so bad, when those nuclear power plants melt down in China syndrome.

I saw the movie. Okay?

It is not even up for discussion.

Right?

Now, let me give you this story from NPR. Now, this came out a few months ago. But it ties into what we were talking about yesterday. And I don't think this ever got enough attention.

Bill Gates is going nuclear. Okay? Good. The Three Mile Island power plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania, that was the scene of the worst commercial nuclear accident in US history. Now, remember, that's the only reason why you know Three Mile Island, it was the home of the worst commercial nuclear accident in US history. Stu, how many people died?

STU: Glenn, zero people died.

GLENN: Okay. I want a recount on that. I want on a recount on that.

STU: I know. It was exactly, precisely zero. In fact, the worst thing that happened in the Three Mile Island tragedy, was that a few people were subjected to the same radiation you would receive, getting a chest x-ray.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. You can see why this has stopped us from pursuing nuclear energy.

STU: No, I can't.

GLENN: Would you agree with me, Stu? That it was because of that accident, and the movie, that came out, China Syndrome. That really led to America going, well, you know what, maybe we should hold off on this nuclear energy thing, because it is so dangerous?

Even though, count again. Stu.

Count again. You sure you have that number?

STU: Hold on just a second.

Let me get my calculator out here.

GLENN: Carry the one. Carry the one.

STU: Hold on one second.

GLENN: Okay. All right. You have it? He's crunching the numbers right now, America. Crunching the numbers.

STU: No. No deaths. Zero.

GLENN: Zero. That is --

STU: I can't tell if it's zero. Or the letter O. Either way, it's no deaths.

GLENN: All right. Now, this is a story from NPR.

Okay.

Constellation energy. Which Bills itself as America's largest producer of clean, carbon free energy, announced Friday that it has signed the largest ever power purchase agreement with Microsoft.

Powering industries, critical to our nation's global, economic, and technological competitiveness. Including data centers. Require an abundance of energy, that is carbon free, and reliable every hour of every day. And nuclear power plants are the only energy sources that can consistently deliver on that promise.

Wow! Well, what about solar panels, Bill?

What about wind power, Bill?

Bill Gates is reopening Three Mile Island. And as NPR said, I mean, thank goodness with Constellation Energy, which is the largest producer of clean, carbon-free energy.

By the way, constellation energy also is a major contributor to NPR.

I just -- I mean -- you know, these people not only create clean energy. They also help get the truth out.

You know, because they're dedicated to the truth at NPR.

Except, the problem is, NPR is against nuclear energy.

Every time you talk about a nuclear power plant. Can't be built. Can't be built.

Now, let me ask you: If -- if powering industries critical to our nation's global economic and technological competitiveness, if that industry was, oh, I don't know, Tesla. Do you think Musk, everybody at NPR would be like, oh, Elon Musk is opening up Three Mile Island, and it wouldn't be a big deal?

The deal, still quoting NPR -- the deal will create approximately 3400 jobs and bring more than $3 billion in state and federal taxes according to the company. It also said the agreement will add $16 billion to Pennsylvania's GDP.

Oh. So now money. Money is a good thing.

Over the radiation, that you're going to receive!

The agreement will span 20 years, and the plant is expected to reopen in 2028.

Pennsylvania's nuclear energy industry plays a critical role in providing safe, reliable, carbon-free electricity that helps reduce emissions and grows Pennsylvania's economy, says Governor Josh Shapiro.

Unlike power plants using fossil fuels, NPR writes, like coal or natural gas -- nuclear power plants do not directly release carbon dioxide or any other greenhouse gas emissions that drives global warming.

The particular nuclear reaction meltdown, at Three Mile Island, NPR reminds you, happened on March 28th, 1979, when one of the plants, two reactors cooling mechanisms malfunctioned.

The reactor will be reopened to power Microsoft's data centers, and was not involved in the accident before it was prematurely shuttered due to poor economics. This plant was among the safest and most reliable nuclear power plants on the grid.

We look forward to bringing it back with a new name, and a renewed mission to serve as an economic engine, for Pennsylvania.

However, some state activists are worried that taxpayers are going to foot the bill for the plant's reopening. We were told, let the marketplace decide. Well, the market decided.

And they decided it was not nuclear. Said Eric Epstein, of the watch to go group, Three Mile Island alert.

Former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates invested $1 billion in a nuclear power plant, that broke ground in Kemmerer, Wyoming, last June.

Okay. So hang on. Now, two power plants, both of them nuclear. I mean, has he been working on the paperwork to get that Wyoming power plant to be built.

Has he been working on it, since 1983. Because that's what it would take for anybody else.

By the way, editors note, from NPR. Constellation Energy. And Microsoft are among NPR's recent financial supporters.

Oh. Well, it's good to know, that there's nothing to worry about here. Bill Gates is a responsible human being. So is nuclear power. It's clean, and it's good for the environment. And it's totally acceptable.

Now, here's why my -- here's why blood shoots through my eyes.

Why do they need this power?

Not because you're having a hard time affording electricity.

Not because you're having a hard time affording heat. For your house.

Not because they want to get rid of natural gas! And want all of our stoves and everything else to be run on electricity!

Not because we are switching over to battery cars, or that's what they hoped.

It will never happen now. But they hope that we will all go to electric vehicles. And as we found out, when California was having their latest crisis. I don't know if it was snow or floods, or landslides. Or earthquakes.

Or wildfires. Or any of the other things that happen in California.

But the last time they had a real problem, they had a drain on power. And they said, by the way, if you have a new electric car, please do not charge it for a week!

Because we have a drain on the power supply!

Huh! Did anybody talk about nuclear power then?

No.

We weren't even allowed to talk about nuclear power. It was off the table. We're not going to build nuclear power plants in the United States of America.

Okay. All right. Hang on just a second.

But Bill Gates can.

Hmm. Before I explode, to explain that one, give me 60 seconds.

GLENN: Okay. So you have been struggling with power. We all know that power is going to be a problem for the United States.

We know that if we don't increase oil production, if we don't increase fracking, natural gas. Or the easy way, and the cleanest way to do it, is to build nuclear power plants. We're not going to survive as a nation.

They have taken everything, that will benefit you and either cancelled it, made it more difficult, or just taken it off the table.

Number one, is nuclear power. We've had to go to windmills. We've said, it's not reliable. Okay.

Well, that's what you're getting. And you couldn't even discuss it. Okay?

They wouldn't even discuss it with you. It's just going to happen.

Now, that Bill Gates wants power, because he wants to be the king of the world, with AI. He needs nuclear power plants.

So he gets to build them. It's almost as if, we're not allowed to talk about that, either! We're not allowed to talk about the -- the unbelievable gall, that this guy, who is well-connected, and has access to AI. And wants to control the world through AI.

He and his rich buddies, and all the people he's paid for in Congress, he's able to buy or start up a nuclear power plant.

And build another one. But we're not allowed to even talk about one for us. No, no, no, no.

We have to have nuclear power plants, for our new God of AI.

If this doesn't show you, where you rank, in this oligarchy.

Nothing will!

There is nothing that would save more lives, than cheap, reliable energy.

The cheapest, most reliable, and the most climate friendly, is nuclear power.

Off the table, for you!

But we can crap nuclear power plants like they're coming out of our butt for Bill Gates.
