CLOSE CALL? Why the FBI stopped China's park project in DC

In 2017, the Chinese government offered to spend $100 MILLION dollars to build a park in Washington, D.C. The ‘ornate Chinese garden’ was planned to be at the National Arboretum, CNN reports, and the project ’thrilled local officials.’ But there’s something about China offering such a nice gesture that should IMMEDIATELY raise alarms. Thankfully, US counterintelligence officials took a deeper look. In this clip, Glenn details the spooky details they found that suggest China was up to something much more sinister than sharing Chinese culture with America' capital city...

GLENN: So this is -- this is great. Now, the Chinese, the FBI has just figured out, there might be some things going on with the Chinese. And it's like, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What do you mean? Ancient Chinese secret? There is something going on here with -- with a Chinese project, the Chinese offered to build, in Washington, DC. They said, it's going to bring all kinds of tourists to. And they wanted to build, I -- up -- a beautiful, ornate Chinese garden at the National Arboretum in Washington, DC. And it would have temples and pavilions and the 70-foot wide pagoda. And it was thrilling. All the local officials were like, that is so exciting. And then the FBI started looking into it. And they found a couple of red flags. The pagoda, they noticed, would be strategically based on one of the highest points in Washington, DC. Just 2 miles from the U.S. Capitol. And they said, that's kind of the perfect spot for -- you know, for gathering intelligence in -- in communications. To grab everybody's intelligence communication. And so they thought, that -- that might not be bad. And then the other thing that the Chinese were like, what? What? What's the problem? They wanted to build the pagoda with materials shipped to the US, in diplomatic pouches. So when you put something in a diplomatic pouch. It can't be searched in customs. Now, what could they possibly bring in -- I bet it was fish. Have you been to a country, where -- where you eat a lot of fish? And did you bring any fish on this trip? I bet it was fish. I bet it was fish, Stu. They killed the project. And canceled the -- the -- the garden. Which is, you know, very, very -- very nice. But, you know, the -- the Chinese are purchasing land all over the country. Which, you know, I don't think that's -- FBI uncovered Chinese-made Huawei equipment. Atop cell towers near a U.S. military base, in the rural Midwest. They said, that's kind of a problem, when they checked with strategic command. Because apparently, it could just block our -- our nuclear communication. And that might also be -- may be -- may be a problem. Former officials described the probe's finding as a watershed moment. The investigation was so secret, that some policy makers in the White House. Stu, you're doing a -- you're doing a secret dive into China. You don't want anyone to know. Because, you know, the cat gets out the bag. China can do anything. It's senior officials at the White House, didn't even know. Do you think that Joe and Hunter Biden might have been on that list of, hey. Just don't tell them. We tell everybody else in the White House, don't tell them what we're doing with China.

STU: The president is on a need to know basis?

GLENN: Yeah. Need to know. Need to know. And he definitely does not need to know. In 2020, Congress approved $1.9 billion to remove Chinese-made Huawei cellular technology. Two years later, yeah. They just can't find the money to do it. Gosh darn it. You know, none of the equipment is removed, and it's still there. And they're just waiting for reimbursement money. And they could get it country done. The FCC applications to remove 24,000 pieces of Chinese-made communications equipment. They can't do. Because they can't -- they -- they can't raise the money. They're $3 billion short at the FCC. And there's like, what? Where did I put that $3 billion.

By the way, we send more money over to Ukraine, this weekend. So I know that's really good. China has also issued a stark private warning to the Biden administration, about a possible trip to Taiwan in August by Nancy Pelosi. They have cited six people familiar with the Chinese warnings, that say, they are significantly stronger than the threats that Beijing has made in the past, when it was unhappy. The private rhetoric suggests a possible military response, according to the Financial Times. The White House security council, and State Department, declined to comment on the report. China's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for a comment on Sunday. So I'm trying to think, besides insider trading, why is it so important for Nancy Pelosi to go to Taiwan? Just wondering.

STU: Food?

GLENN: Okay. Sure. If you're president -- you know, I don't want to back off of Taiwan, but, I mean, unless it's critical, that we're over there in Taiwan -- and I don't think it is with Nancy Pelosi. I mean, if it was somebody good, that we were sending over there. But Nancy doesn't even what an she's talking about. Here's what we do. You don't have to be as sophisticated as Mission Impossible. You don't. You just put her on a main. Drop her in, you know, a tropical location. Have somebody that looks different, just not white. Speaks another language. It doesn't have to be Taiwanese or Chinese. And just tell her she went to Taiwan.

STU: You don't think she would pick that one up? I mean, it seems like her and her husband were so drunk, they wouldn't necessarily recognize the difference.

GLENN: Yeah. She is a little -- I mean, just a little hammered seeming, during the day.

STU: She seems hammered. He's been charged with it. Right? You know, he's got the DUI on -- on -- on his docket.

GLENN: Right. Right.

STU: So I think just the combination of the two, her appearance, his -- his actual seemingly DUI, dangerous, almost killing somebody accident. Those two combined, they'll probably believe almost anything.

GLENN: Right. Right. All right. All right. I say we do it. Send them over. By the way, there's a great -- great essay done by John Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead from the Rutherford Institute on technology. And they say, we are now crossing the line of no return. We are -- we are at this line. We are on the cusp of a cultural, technological, and societal revolution. The likes of which we have never seen before. While the political left and right continue to make abortion the face of the debate, over the right to privacy in America, the government and its corporate partners aided by rapidly advancing technology are reshaping the world, into one which there is no privacy at all. Nothing that was once private, is protected. We have not even gun to register the fallout from this tsunami, baring down on us in the form of artificial intelligence surveillance. And yet, it is already reorienting our world, into one in which freedom is almost unrecognizable. AI surveillance harnesses the power of artificial intelligence, and widespread surveillance technology, to do what the police state lacks the manpower and resources to do effectively, or efficiently. To be everywhere. To watch everyone. Everything. Monitor. Identify. Catalog. Cross-check. Cross-reference. And clued. Everything that was once private, is now up for grabs, for the right buyer. Governments and corporations alike, have heedlessly adopted AI surveillance technology without any care or concern for their long-term impact on the rights of citizenry. As a special report from the Carnegie endowment for international peace warns, a growing number of states are deploying advanced AI surveillance tools, to monitor, track, and surveil citizens, to accomplish a range of policy objectives. Some lawful, others violating human rights. Most fall into the murky middle ground. Indeed, with every new AI surveillance technology, that is adopted and deployed. Without any regard for policy. Fourth Amendment rights, and due process. Want rights of citizenry, are being marginalized, undermined. And eviscerated. Digital authoritarianism. As a center for strategic and international studies cautions, involves the use of information technology, to surveil, repress, manipulate the populace. Endangering human rights and civil liberties. And co-opting and corrupting the foundational principles of a Democratic and open society. Including freedom of movement. The right to speak freely, and express political dissent. And the right to personal privacy on and offline. Now, in this article, I'll go into it more tomorrow. But it is fascinating to me. They say, there are nine steps, nine elements of the Chinese model of digital authoritarianism. So see how many we have done. Dissidents suffer from persistent cyber attacks. And phishing. I know we've had that. Social media websites and messaging apps are blocked. That's happened. Posts that criticize government officials are removed. Haven't had it with officials. But had it on policy. Mobile and internet access revoked as punish not for activism. Haven't had that yet. Paid commentators drown out government criticism. Oh, I think that's happened. New laws tighten regulations on online media. Not yet.

Citizen's behavior monitored via AI and surveillance tools. Absolutely. Individuals regularly arrested for posts critical of the government. No. And, nine, online activists are made to disappear.

STU: Oh. You know --

GLENN: Not yet.

STU: Glenn, it's interesting, a lot of those that you said, have not occurred, have occurred. But just not through the government. Right? We have seen people get kicked off for comments they've made about others. And lose their access to their business. To their banking system, and all of this. For -- for whatever their business does, or comments that they have made. Just, that hasn't come from the government. It's sort of the approach that you outline in the Great Reset, where it comes from not the great government, but an arrangement over it, or not, between the government, or people who just share the ideology of -- of those in power. And then execute those punishments outside of law. It's -- it's just something. And they're able to do it. It just has not been American tradition. We've always given people even access to, you know, simple things like banking regardless of your political opinion. That has changed. And it hasn't come through the government, through the law. Where I think it will be clearly unconstitutional. It's come instead, from these companies doing it on their own. But the effect is the same on the people who are impacted.
(music)

GLENN: Yeah. And it's hard to know where the government ends, and where these private companies begin. You know, when the White House is saying, we're in touch with social media. And telling them which sites or which voices need to be turned down, is the government -- is -- is Twitter and Facebook, is that all a tool of the government? Is the government a tool of Facebook and Google? I don't know. I don't know where one ends and one begins.

You Must Learn To MASTER AI...Before It Masters YOU

Glenn has spent DECADES warning you about the risks of artificial intelligence and how if humanity is not careful, it will become the master of humanity. So why is he telling you to learn how to use it? Because these AI systems are SHARP. It can THINK. It is the sharpest tool you can ever wield, but you must learn how to wield it ethically before it wields you, Glenn argues. We MUST put ourselves in charge. This is the seismic shift he has been warning about for years. It's time we get to work.

GLENN: I'm so excited to take this next step with you. Because I've waited 30 years. I've been trying to ring the bell on AI. And we've missed so many opportunities.

But this is kind of a last call of being ahead of things right now.

We are right at the edge of something, just absolutely game-changing.

And I've been trying to prepare you for this moment. And if you're not prepared, you don't really understand.

That's okay. That's okay.

I'm going to show you this hour, how you, in your life, should be viewing this.

And should be using it. Okay? Artificial intelligence, AI, it is not Siri.

That's not it.

We are on the verge of AGI. Artificial General Intelligence.

And beyond that is artificial super intelligence.

That's -- that's, you know -- that's the big ball of wax.

And you've heard me talk for 30 years now, about how AI is the tool that will think faster than you. Process more data than you could in a lifetime. And soon, with ASI, it will outsmart every human bot in mind, that has ever lived combined.

It will be the processing power of a -- of a supercomputer, that would literally be the size of Planet Earth. Okay?

A lot of deep think there. And we've talked about the dangers of it. Of a machine so powerful. It could become a god of our own making. And people will look at it as god very soon.

It's a force that might strip away what it means to be human, if we haven't thought about those things.

I've also told you about the miracles, that it could bring. In ways that we've never even thought. Can you cure cancer? Sure, but why would I?

Are you ready for this one? Why not just change the DNA of humans, so it doesn't -- cancer doesn't hurt the human body. Okay. I don't even know what the ethics or ramifications of that are. But that's coming.

Solutions that man has wrestled with for centuries. A world where scarcity could just be gone. Hunger could be gone.

You've -- you've learned this from me, hopefully. Or heard me yapping about it. And didn't think it really applied to you.

But this, the moment I've been pointing to you, at. And saying, look, it's coming. It's coming.

It's no longer on the horizon.

We're here.

March 7th, 2025, not just a date.

Hopefully, it's the day that you realize, we've been pulled into what's called the event horizon of a technological singularity.

What the hell is that?

Let me -- let me explain. Try to do it. And so you can really follow this. Because you'll really hear terms over the next couple of years.

Kind of like when they started defining new pronounces. What the hell is that?

And a new one came out. We will go through that. But this time, it's really important that you understand these things. So terms that most people don't know. AGI, artificial general intelligence. ASI, super intelligence. The event horizon is a term that usually is used to describe the edge of a black hole. Okay? And a black hole has so much gravity, it bends. Nothing can escape the black hole. Think of yourself in a boat. You're just on this river.

And all of a sudden, you start to hear a roar of something. And you're like, oh, gee. That sounds like the falls.

And you start to try to row the other direction, but the current is so strong now, it just pulls you over. And there's no way to escape it, because it's just too late. That's what this is.
Okay? In this particular usage for AI. What it means is that you're at the point, where we can't escape the grip of super intelligence, because it is coming! Like the black hole, you're in its grip now.

And it is eventually going to pull you into the singularity. The black hole. Once you cross the threshold, you can't escape it. And the black hole will crush everything you knew about life, physics, everything.

Life as you know it, once you cross the event horizon, and you're in the singularity, it's called spaghettification.

Everything is just pulled and stretched, and everything breaks down. That is the way they're describing now, this new technology. And we're on the edge of it. And we can't turn the boat around.

So we have -- we as humans have never, ever been here. Never, ever.

I mean, maybe. I mean, there are some people out there now saying, maybe 10,000 years ago. Because we can't find out how the pyramids were built. Maybe 10,000 years ago, humans had this technology.

And they were completely unknown. Because this technology just completely destroyed them and wiped them all out.

And they left behind the pyramids.

And the Egyptians were like, yeah. That's a tomb we built overnight. You know, we don't know. I mean, it could be. May not be. But it could be that. And this isn't science fiction anymore.

You're living in it.

And Grok 3 or ChatGPT, or any of these things, that's in your hand right now. And it is important for you to understand it, and use it!

This is a system that can analyze data. It can write reports for you.

It can generate ideas.

It can predict the outcomes with a precision, that will rival the best human experts.

And I will show you how to use this. And just start equating it -- equating yourself. Whether -- I don't care what you do.

You're retired. You're a CEO.

You're a mom. Whatever it is, I'll show you how, you should start thinking about this.

And using it here in the next few minutes.

But here's the -- it's really important to start here, today. Is because I'm hearing some pushback from my good friends, my coworkers.

Anybody who has heard my warnings over the years. They're all like, wait a minute. You said this was bad.

Yes. Yes, it is.

But it's also tremendously good.

It's when we actually get to ASI, that everything could go very dark. Okay.

And I've spent decades cautioning you about the risk of this technology.

And how it will be your master, if we're not careful. Okay. So then why are you suggesting we would pick this up?

I know it sounds contradictory. But it's not. It is the sharpest tool you will ever hold.

It's sharper than any axe, or any computer before, anything you've ever experienced. And the difference is, this tool can think. It can adapt.

And if you don't learn to wield on it, now before it gets really weird, it's going to wield you. And then you will be powerless. You must understand, this is your tool. And somebody asked me. I had a meeting yesterday. And somebody on the staff said, you know, what are the ethics. And I said, I don't know what the ethics are. Nobody does.

Nobody knows. Nobody has ever done this.

We have to write the ethics. We have to ask ourselves these questions.

You know, and this is the first of the aseismic shifts, that I told you, for the last 30 years, would come.

30 years ago, you started warning.

There will be a time, where even the person at the top of their craft. Doctors, lawyers, engineers. Me!

Will find themselves out of a job. You just -- you just -- all of a sudden, it would just be over!

Okay. Then what do you do?

It's really important that you understand, the only ones that have a chance of really kind of surviving are the ones who have used it, knows exactly what it can do.

Know its dangers.

Worked out the ethics in their own mind.

And then have kept so nimble, they can adapt, to whatever comes!

If you calcify in your thinking, it's over!

Okay?

I don't care how long you've done it. I don't care if you're the CEO. I don't care if you're in the radio broadcasting Hall of Fame. It means nothing.

Tomorrow, that will mean nothing. So what do we do?

The time of that first turn, where in 18 or 36 months, we're going to find ourselves going, I don't have my job anymore.

What happened?

The beginning of that first term is happening right now! You're at the beginning of a cycle, and it's the cycle will happen every three to five years.

And you will need to retrain. Retool. And redefine what you do, while holding on to your humanity, and your ethics.

Okay?

I don't know when the next wave will hit.

But in 18 months, this is going to be so undeniably clear to everyone. Everyone around you.

And everyone around you, who hasn't paid attention. Hasn't done the work I'm going to ask you to do, beginning today?

They will be so lost. They will be so absolutely lost. Because it will be the rage.
People will be misusing it.

They will be destroying themselves.

I mean, it will be a mess. And everyone will be scrambling to catch up.

It will be too late at that point.

Because you're either going to be the tool. Not the master. Or you're going to be the master! You're either going to be dragged into this black hole, un-- unknowingly and just spaghettification, happens to you and your life and your family and your humanity, or you will lead and say, wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

This is the point where I hit the ejector button. And I'm like, I'm out.

And I don't know where that is. But the choice is yours.

But you will have to begin to act today. What worries me most, is not the pace of change.

But it's what we might lose in the process. Transhumanism. Another term. What does that mean?

You ever watch Star Trek? The bourg?

That's transhumanism.

It's AI merging with humans.

And that is not Star Trek.

It's already here with Elon Musk.

He's already doing it with people that can't walk, okay?

And it will look great. And it is great! For some things. But there's going to come a line.

And the temptation to upgrade yourself, is going to be so unbelievably tempting, that most people will go, why wouldn't you do this?

I don't know. I have my reasons. But you're going to have to come up with yours.

I mean, I don't think we want to erase the very essence of what makes a human, human.

And that's our flaws. Our soul.

Our humanity. Ask Grok. When -- if I put an implant in me, and I begin to have the internet in my head, and I'm going to the internet and the internet is coming into my head. And it's telling me things. But they're just kind of like the thinking of my -- I can't recognize it. When do I stop becoming me.

When am I AI?

And not human.

Not Glenn Beck.

And at what point -- and it went through. I did this the other night.

I went through all kinds of arguments. Both for and against. And at the end, I said, I don't know.

Nobody knows. Nobody knows.

We'll know it when we get there.

These are the things you have to think.

Because the line is coming.

And it may be soon.

Do you live with your imperfections?

Do you cross over? I know my choice.

Your choice may be different. That's your right.

But today is not that day. Today is about mastering what is here. So you can educate yourself. So when that day comes, you will be ready.

'Bigger Than Watergate': How Stacey Abrams Was Gifted $7 BILLION of YOUR Money

In a SHOCKING potential scandal that rivals Watergate, The Biden-Harris administration appears to have funneled $7 BILLION of YOUR tax dollars into a ghost fund—the United Climate Fund—tied to a $20 BILLION jackpot from the so-called Inflation Reduction Act. Spoiler: It’s got nothing to do with inflation. From Stacey Abrams’ shady Power Forward Communities (raising just $100 before scoring BILLIONS from Biden) to an EPA whistleblower spilling the truth—this was a desperate cash dump to benefit Democrat allies before Trump took office. Where did the money go? A black hole of legal fees, vague solar promises, and political insiders. When you break it all down, this amounts to $240 stolen from every American family—groceries, gas, your children's school supplies, gone. People MUST be held accountable for this.

GLENN: All right. So let me tear this story apart. And let's just start with what happened.

This happened last spring. Okay?

The lame duck the presidency. Right around the same time, of the story that I talked about last hour, about the auto-pen scandal. Apparently, everything that Biden signed was done by auto-pen, except for him saying I'm not going to run. That's weird, isn't it? So right around that same time, April 2024, the Biden/Harris administration. Via the EPA. Handed over $7 billion of your money. To a ghost, called the united climate fund. Oh, that's a good name.

Oh, therefore, the climate.

Now, $7 billion. That's not the real story. This is all part of a 20 billion jackpot from the green house gas reduction fund.

That was tacked in and tucked in, so you couldn't really find it in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act happened in nothing to do with reducing inflation.

Nothing!

It was a scam! So it was all about the green thing. They sold us climate salvation. But what it really was, was robbery.

Okay?

This fund wasn't some titan of green innovation. Like, we -- we have dedicated our whole lives. It popped up in Delaware. Hmm! On November 30th, 2022.

It was barely five months old, when the cash started to flow. Okay? Its tax filings, a complete disgrace. Its first year, it had $547,000 in revenue.

It blew through and torched 451 of those things in two months. $451,000 in two months!

Then 323,000 just vanished in other expenses! I mean, it's a black hole.

No explanation. Just, I don't need to tell you!

The legal fees gobbled up more. The vague promises of $50 million in solar projects, that's what they were saying.

Well, we're $50 million. Where was any of that?

Then the mask slips off. We find out, that they were funneling cash to power forward communities.

Oh, God. Don't just some of the names of some of these organizations just piss you off. If somebody came to you and said, I'm for power forward communities. I would slam the door in your face. Not interested!

All right. That thing is tied to Stacey Abrams. Huh. So a political insider gets a bunch of money, because she's the teacher's pet. No transparency on that. No accountability. It's just a show. Stacey Abrams. This Power Forward Communities, if you thought the other one was a sham, she had only raised $100. One hundred dollars! Not 100,000!

$100! You could get that from the guy who is begging on the street, if you want to rob him. I'll bet you, if he spends a couple of days, just at a street corner. He's got 100 bucks. Maybe even a day. That's all she could raise for her own organization.

And then suddenly, Biden comes in and is like, it's $2 billion. Oh. That seems right!

So there's no transparency. There's no accountability. In December, it was Project Veritas that caught an EPA official spilling the truth on this one. He said, this was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Now, what does that mean?
What does that mean?

So all it was, was a desperate cash dump, before the clock ran out. They're giving it to their friends. Why?

Now, under the, you know, department of government officials. DOGE. They blew the lid off of this thing. The $20 billion was stashed at Citibank. It's being clawed back now by the government.

It isn't incompetence.

It's calculated theft. That's what it is. Theft of your money, your labor. Your nation, quite honestly.

So now, that's what happened. Now, here's what it means.

And let me give you some historic perspective, here. I want you to feel this in your gut. And it will sound like no big deal. I want you to really understand what this just one piece means directly to you. $7 billion.

Is $20 per American. Not taxpayer.

Per American!

Family of four. When you tally in the full $20 billion. That's $240, that's just gone from your bank account.

Actually not. Because take $240 per family. And then just add the interest rate, that we will be paying China for that borrowed cash. It will be a lot more than that. That's grocery, gas. Your kid's school supplies. Gone.

Where did it go?

Stacey Abraham's big pockets. And she's a big person. So she has big pockets.

Now, if you even have Stacey Abrams size pockets. That's not pocket change.

Historically, this dwarfs -- oh, did he just use the word dwarf?

Yes, I did. Dwarfs scandals, that we have learned.

I don't even remember where it was. The tee pot dome scandal.

When did it happen, kids?

920.

Can anybody tell me what it was?

No. You just told me to memorize the date when it happened. I know it happened in the '20s. I don't know anything else about it! In adjusted dollars, the Teapot Dome Scandal, that we are told, we must memorize, that cost in today's adjusted dollars, 400 million!

400 million, and we're still teaching about that scandal.

This is 20 billion! Okay.

That kind of -- I mean, really, you look at the tee pot dome scandal now, and your kids should be like, rookies!

Watergate was a break-in.

Jail time.

Prison. Break-in. It wasn't a billion dollar siphon. No. There was no money stolen. Nothing happened in Watergate. Prison time.

You know, the savings and loan scandal? George Bush's brother was involved. Yeah. He was. Yeah, he was.

And it -- that scandal was 160 billion. Over ten years!

This is 20 billion, like in a day! Hey, you know what, call her up. Can we get the EPA on the phone? I have $20 billion. Okay.

So I don't know. That's kind of fast. But we have AI now. Should be a little faster!

So this is your money, your voice, gone. Constitution, article one, section nine. It talks -- no dollar will leave the Treasury without law!

Law for us, apparently not for them. So remember, you're still working today, every dollar you're going to make, at work today, is going to go to the federal government.

When you break it out over a year, you will be working, I think it's this year until April 19th, from January 1st with be to April 19th, just to pay your taxes!

And what happened to those dollars, that you've worked from January 1st to April 19th this year?

I don't know. Stacey Abrams stuffed it in her big butt someplace, and money is shooting out.

To whom?

I don't know! I don't know.

I worked hard for my money. What did Stacey Abrams do for her.

Okay. So who is involved. Who might be involved.

Well, Biden/Harris. Because they signed off on this.

Kamala Harris, said, this was her legacy. The green house gas reduction fund.

All right. So, good. Let's make sure she understands that's her legacy. Now, the EPA chief under Biden, Michael Reagan. He was the bag man, he's the guy who doled out the millions. The Climate United Fund, their officers, I don't know.

I don't know. Scooby-Doo van, we're sending it out. The kids are going to be able to unmask him eventually. But I don't know, Scooby is kind of old at this point.

Even the Scooby snacks didn't keep him in that van very long. But their tax forms are hiding all of the names of the officers. So we don't really know, but Abrams' Power Forward?

That one -- what is that smell? It smells like rotting garbage. No, uh-uh, that's Stacey Abrams Power Forward.

Citibank held all the loop. No foul play proven yet, but they are in the frame. And Citibank, if you did anything wrong, I pray to God, we come and get you too. The EPA whistle-blower, he's a cog. But in their words, it's a cabal, at the very top, that knew that this was just preelection cash. That's all it was. If you're a Democrat. All the money that you sent in. What was it?

A trillion dollars that people donated. And you kind of went, where did that money go?

Yeah. It lined the pockets. It's in Stacey Abrams butt some place.

I think it is. I don't know for a fact that that's where she keeps it. But it's kind of a big butt. So who else is involved?

Dig a little deeper here. Who else is involved?

Well, the Obama era loyalists. Can't wait to tell you about that. Climate grifters.

Congressional enablers. Theater ones who slipped this into the wall.

The DOGE crew.

The head of the EPA now. Lee Zeldin.

I love you! They got the scalpel out. It's kind of sharp. Justice, and the inspector general, going to name names. Or at least that is what they say. Understand, it's not a lone wolf.

Uh-uh. This is whole pack. And they've been feeding on the American carcass. They have blood all over their face. I think we should go wolf hunting, myself.

Now, who could possibly be against tracking this down?

Because not everybody is cheering DOGE and Elon Musk. In fact, he's a Nazi. Did you hear that?

Oh. We don't have Nazis around here. I haven't heard anybody, call anybody a Nazi, ever.

Okay. So it's going to be the entrenched. The Deep Staters. That are going to fight tooth and nail on this.

They might even break out in -- we shall overcome. Good God. It's not 1965. Shut up!

Anyway, they might break out in song.

I don't know. But the climate lobby, these NGOs. The green tech firms. The banks!

Billions of dollars. And they're all going to say, but the planet is in peril!

And that's why we don't know what would burn down. That's why we wanted to keep it someplace moist, like Stacey Abrams butt!

Uh-huh. Now, the democratic operatives, that are tied to Abrams, and Joe Biden, yeah. They're not -- they're not happy about this. Because they're going to be exposed.

But they're -- here's what's going to be exposed: The Patrogen (phonetic) Network. That's their life blood. Have you ever wondered?

Have you ever said this? Because I have. Where the hell are the Republican billionaires?

Doesn't it seem like everybody -- anybody who wants to, you know, destroy the country. They've got billions of dollars behind them, right?

And you're like, you know what, the billionaires, on the left. They just give all this money.

No!

You've been giving all of this money. They've been funneling your money, in the -- to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, to these people that want to destroy America.

That's what's been going on.

And then you have the bureaucrats and the EPA and the government. I mean, the careerists, who would rather -- they would rather just go down with a fight.

Because they will lose their fiefdom. And their power. And survival. And the money and everything else.

Look, $20 billion.

A slush fund, buys an awful lot of loyalty, influence, votes.

You rip that away, and the empire crumbles. Well, it doesn't crumble. But it's a good hit to that. Because there's hundreds of billions that are in these slush funds. And the big banks like Citibank, I think they're quietly squirming. We have nothing to do with -- uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Yeah. That's what the banks of the mob says!

THIS Is Why 'Cowboy' Is Making a COMEBACK

Something has changed in America, for the better. Have you noticed that the cowboy, the rugged west, is making a comeback? It's something that has been in every American, for a very long time. And it has been waiting for us to listen to it. The press and mainstream media couldn't figure out Yellowstone at all. But it wasn't the vigilante stuff that attracted us to Yellowstone. It was justice. A line. Somebody was drawing a line in the sand. A common sense line that said: "You know what? Some things matter too much to let slide." It's the cowboy. But what does the cowboy represent? A handshake that means something. A promise you don't break, because your word is the only thing you own. It's taking your hat off for a woman. It's saying "Yes, ma'am. No, sir." Because respect isn't optional. It's standing up, not just for yourself, but for your family. For your land. Your way of life. The things that are worth defending.

GLENN: Yesterday -- yesterday was just a different day for me. My eyes opened up to some things.

And I don't know -- I don't know exactly why, but some things really came clear to me yesterday. And that is, what we're waking up to.

Trump in the last election are symptoms. We think that that is what's driving. But it's not.

It's not the reason. It's a symptom. And it's all crapped up in the collective denial of what is true and real.

So let me -- what is true and real?

Have you noticed that the cowboy, the rugged west, is making a comeback?

You see it in television.

You see it everywhere. It's making a come back, all of a sudden. Why?

And it's -- it's coming at the same time our politics are changing. So which is the chicken, and which is the egg?

The cowboy, this rugged West, Yellowstone, the TV Yellowstone. Or Taylor Sheridan, and all of his many 800 shows that seem to be on television.
That's not what brought the cowboy back. It's not Kevin Costner on TV. Grumbling about the land and the legacy. It's not it. It's deeper than that.

It's in some ways, it's that jagged spine of the Grand Tetons. It's the open sweep of the grass that rolls out like God himself just unrolled it. Like, how far can that go? It is the untamed West. But it's not that!

Because that's a postcard. That's on a TV screen. That's something that nobody in New York sees. That's something that people all over the country, have never actually seen themselves. But yet, they have that, thumping, or humming in their chest.

And it's something that has been in every American, for a very long time. And it has been waiting for us to listen to it.

You know, the -- the press, mainstream media. They couldn't figure out Yellowstone at all. You crazy people. They just want that train station, to actually exist.

It wasn't the vigilante stuff, that attracted us to Yellowstone.

The bodies dumped in the dark, to settle scores. Or how they acted. Or what she said. Sure, that played a role. It was entertaining, but that's not what we felt.

That was the noise. What got underneath our skin was that there was justice to it, not vigilante. Not perfect. Not polished.

But there was justice. A line. Somebody was drawing a line in the sand.

A common sense line. That said, you know what, some things matter too much, to let slide.

And what were those things?

They were heritage. It was family. It was a way of life, that's worth planting your feet for! The whole show is about the Duttons losing the ranch. Or is it?

Or is it about fighting for go that cannot be left behind? It shouldn't be left behind.

Was it the Dutton ranch, or was it the American way? And not something on a bumper sticker or slogan. But a heartbeat.

Something that is deep in all of us. And we feel it. I don't care if you're kicking dust in Wyoming, or you're kicking a coffee cup in the streets of New York. It's there.

And it's not the hat. It's not the spurs.
Those represent this, I guess. Because it's the cowboy. And what does the cowboy represent? A handshake that means something. A promise, you don't break. Because your word is the only thing you own!

It's taking your hat off for a woman. It's saying, yes, ma'am.

No, sir. Because respect isn't optional. It's standing up!

And not just for yourself. But for your family. For your land, your way of life. The things that are worth defending!

The things that you have been told for the last 20 years, sit down. Shut up. You should be ashamed of that.

It's righting wrongs, when the law is too slow or too blind to see what's what. Afghanistan withdrawal comes to mind.

It's a fierce independence. The kind that says, you know what, I don't have anything against you. But I'm going my own way. I'm going to chart my own path.

I'm going to do what others swear, can't be done.

I'm sorry. You think it's too tough.

Nothing is too big.

Not as long as you have faith in God, and the grit of an American.

Then nothing is too big!

That's what the cowboy represents! But it's more than just him! I don't know how to describe it. It's us. It's in all of us!

It's who this land shaped us to be. Whether you -- I mean, I'm not somebody who would have crossed the Rockies in a creaking wagon. I would have stopped way before that. You know, snow biting at my hands. Uh-uh.

Strangely, I am kind of the guy, that wouldn't mind being strapped to a rocket, and shot up, just to stab this red planet of red dust, a million miles away. Or however far it is. With a flag. And not because a flag. Why do these explorers do what they do?

They don't do it for God or country.

That's what the left would tell you. It's jingoism.

It's not!

They don't do it for God or country. They do it because of God and country. Because of what God and this country made us! It's simply who we are. It's why the rest of the world, never understands us. And yet, when we live up to those ideals, when we live up to what this land and God created with us, when we live up to who we really are. The world loves us.

It's what this land does to you. The mountains. The plains. The rivers that cut through stone.

They're not just pretty. I don't know about you, but they call to me.

They call to all of us.

They -- they make you. And when you answer, it's not about proving something to anybody else. It's about proving it to yourself. Because that's what the soul of this country is asking for!

Who are you? Who can you be?

No other country, no other people can feel it like we do. Because this is our DNA. It's why I go to the mountains every chance I get. I love the mountains, to not escape, but to remember. To breathe the air that is sharp and clean, cold in the morning, hot during the day. To hear the wind, whip the flag. Yellowstone was not big on TV, because it was a show.

It was big, because it's a mirror! It is a funhouse mirror. And everybody else looked at funhouse part. What we -- it's all about what we've been missing!

It's what it was showing us! That's what we felt. What we've let slip through our fingers.

Because we were too busy chasing other things. Or listen to other people convince us of lies.

And now?

Look around, last six weeks.

What is America doing?

We're putting our based on the back on. We're wrapping ourselves in denim, that's not afraid to touch grass.

In fact, it's required to touch grass!

And not because it's trendy. But because it's try!

It's who we are, deep down. I don't care if you've ever roped cattle. You should see with my cows. I have no idea what I'm doing.

It doesn't matter. You can be punching a clock in Cincinnati.

It doesn't matter!

But the land, our way of life, our DNA is calling us back, and thank God we're listening!

It is morning in America again. And it comes again, under the brim of a cowboy hat!

But the guy who is -- the one who seems to be doing it all. He would look ridiculous, in a cowboy hat.

Maybe as ridiculous as I look in a cowboy hat.

He's a big city real estate broker, from New York City. That likely has never gone anywhere on horseback. Or climbed a mountain.

But the spirit lives in this guy!

His whole life is about doing something no one thought could be done. He didn't climb mountains, or conquer the West, in the traditional way.

Instead, out of concrete and steel, he built mountains, that tear at that American sky!

He conquered what we all the. You can't conquer that. Mainstream media. He broke the back of that horse. And he is riding it, sitting tall in his saddle, and he's also making it very clear to all the outlaws of the world.

And I can guarantee you'll go, yes, sir. When you hear this!

He's making it very clear. This man from New York City. There is a new sheriff in town!

The spirit of the West!

All humans feel this call to the ocean. I don't know what it is. But we all do. For Americans, it's the same kind of call, but to something different. The West isn't a place. It's a feeling! It's a pull! It's a strange shadow of a horse and a required against a sunset that bleeds red and gold! It's the creek of leather and the weight of a rifle in your hands. When the world turns mean. It's the quiet of a night so quiet, you can hear your own thoughts! It's the roar of a river that reminds you, some things just can't be tamed. Not by man. Not by time. And that is what is roaring back.

It's the spirit that put us here in the first place. The part of us that says, I'll stand for what's right.

I'll fight for the little guy. I'll build something worth keeping. And I do.

Because we always have. From the first people that crossed the oceans, to the ones who broke the trails through the mountains. No sane person would ever do that!

The dreamers who looked up to the sky, and said, I'll go to the moon.

And it was never about glory. It was about guts.

Knowing about -- knowing that there are some things that are just bigger than you. But you're big enough to meet them anyway.

Yellowstone is, again, a mirror of us waking up. It was already there. It's simmering.

It's always there. The photos of the peaks and the plains. And the horses.

They're not just pictures. They are us. It is the snap of the sound -- the sound of the snap of a flag in the wind!

It's the weight of a life lived on your terms. And it is not dead. It is not gone.

It is rising again!

Because the truth is, it never really left us. You'll feel it, wherever you are. You'll hear it in the stories we tell. The songs we sing. The way we look at the world and say, why can't people -- we'll take it on!

You're living in an American era again! We are truly going to see the rebirth of a nation.

Not -- not -- not in the boardrooms, or the ballots. But first and foremost, in the dirt, in the sky, in the soul!

It's about a cowboy, an American cowboy coming home!

Not because he's lost. Because finally -- finally, he remembered where he belongs!

And we're all riding along with him. Whether we know it or not. Because no matter what the popular culture tells us, this is really who we are. We're fierce. We're honorable. We're free. We're unbroken!

The sun just dipped down low, and the shadows were stretching long. But thank God America heard it whispering again. Come back!

Come back home!

I want to talk to you about Ruff Gr

Unpacking SCOTUS's Latest EMBARRASSING Decision On USAID Funding

In a devastating ruling by the Supreme Court that 'shocked' Justice Alito, two GOP judges sided with the Democrats to undo President Trump's executive order, which froze $2 billion in USAID funding. This is what's at stake here: $2 billion of YOUR tax dollars potentially funding anti-American agendas or worse, with no accountability thanks to the 1946 Administrative Procedure Act diluting responsibility. This raises the question—who truly controls government? Congress as the chef, the President as manager, or an overreaching Supreme Court as food inspector? President Trump MUST continue to fight back with the DOJ while eyeing a Scalia-like justice to fix a possibly rigged system. ENOUGH with these wishy-washy judges, Glenn argues. We need a BULLDOG.

GLENN: All right. I want to dive into the US Supreme Court decision on restoring USA funding. I think this is grotesque. But it's a conversation we need to have. And it doesn't end with, we're not going to listen to the Supreme Court. It leads right to, please, Donald Trump, make sure you're finding a Scalia, as our next Supreme Court justice, if you get to appoint one.

The question is: Who really holds the reins of our government? Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruling came out, and they really didn't -- because it was a quick turnaround, it's not a full reading of what everybody was saying.

And I want to know exactly how they made this decision. But we saw justice Amy Coney Barrett side with John Roberts, and the court's liberal ring, what a surprise there, and it was against the -- Trump's administration to push to freeze $2 billion. $2 billion. You and everyone you know, maybe everyone you've ever met, everybody that lives in the same town as you, will never pay $2 billion in income tax.

So $2 billion in foreign aid.

And the dissent came from conservative justices like Clarence Thomas. Samuel Alito. Gorsuch. Brent Kavanaugh.

Now, this was -- I mean, Scalia talked a lot about this.

And let me -- let me break it down, in this way.

The federal government is like a giant kitchen.

Congress is the head chef. Okay? They write the recipes, and then order all of the raw ingredients, laws, and the budgets. Got it?

The President is the kitchen and manager of the chef, and all of the kitchen.

He decides, how do we execute this?

How do we do this?

And the Supreme Court is really, the food inspector, who is called in, when there's, you know, worry about food poisoning.

You know, botulism. Something really bad, that the restaurant was never supposed to put out. That's what it's supposed to be. In this case, President Trump on his first day back in office, he signed an executive order, to freeze $2 billion in USA funding. Okay. Why?

Because he suspects deep corruption. So the money Congress had already earmarked for foreign aid, which is their job. It gets blown out of the water. Now, his team said, let's look for waste, fraud, and abuse.

Now, that comes right from his campaign promises. That's what he was elected to do. He was very career about DOGE.

The nonprofit groups, sued. And a lower court judge ordered the funds to be unblocked. And in the Supreme Court, yesterday, 5-4 split. They upheld that order.

Now, what? The ruling said, basically, you can't just hit pause on Congress.

Okay?

They've come up with a recipe. They've ordered all the goods. Unless the law explicitly lets you, the president. Now, I think it does.

Really, so does Thomas and Alito and Kavanaugh.

They said, he's the administrator. He's the one.

He's the one who said, no, no, no, no.

Wait. I think there may be some sort of botulism in some of these ingredients.

I'm not putting them into the food. The administrator, does he have leeway to manage the funds and root out corruption? Especially, since the executive branch is tasked with, quote, faithfully executing the laws. Faithfully executing the laws.

Amy Coney Barrett, Trump appointee from last time, surprised a lot of people. Me, not so much.

She didn't write a separate opinion here, but her vote suggests a real narrow view of executive power, that I don't think the Founders ever really saw this, as.

Scalia worry alive might have dissented and gone the way of Alito and Gorsuch, because he always railed against judicial overreach. There was a court case back in the '80s. Morrison versus Olsen. He warned, letting courts micromanage executive discretion.

I'm quoting! Enfeebles the President's Constitutional role. What does that mean?

The -- the President oversees his domain.
Congress oversees their domain. And there can't be any judicial meddling in this, unless the Constitution or Congress clearly says so. Okay.

Congress allocated the funds.

And no law gave Trump the unilateral freeze button.

That's what she said!

Here's it -- here's the problem.

Here's how I think of it now. How I think you should think of it.

Think of your family.

You are running a family budget. You and your spouse, that's Congress, agree to spend $500 at a kid's summer camp. Okay?

But you and your wife, for some reason, are really busy. And so you hand the $500 over to your brother. The president.

And you're like, I want you to pay the camp director.

And send him to summer camp. And then you're out.

And then you find out, that the brother is holding on to that $500. Of course! You're like, wait a minute. I gave you the $500 to send our kid to summer camp.

And your brother says, wait a minute!

The camp is way overcharging.

Or worse, it's a scam!

Or even worse, they actually stand against everything your family, you, your son. Everything you tried to teach him.

Everything you want!

I couldn't in good conscience, give this $500 to them. Because it's corrupt!

Are you cool, or are you mad that your -- I told you, it had to be spent on this!

Are you going, thank God, or do you say, you have no right to do that!

I want my money going to that corrupt camp. Even if they're abusing my child. Of course not!

That's the oversight of the administrator! That's this case, in a nutshell. That's what Trump is arguing. And that's what Trump should be giving. The problem is, it's not a family of three or four or five. It's a family of 330 million people. And the cash is yours!

Do you want it to go to anti-American or changing mice, you know, one sex to the other? Do you want that?

Because I, as a family member, and 330 million people, I'm kind of pissed of that. Maybe you're not. I am.

STU: Glenn, at any point, the mom and dad can send that money directly to the camp.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: All they have to do is instead of doing this BS thing that they're doing.

Which is like, here's a big pile of money. And we want generally, this thing to happen.

They can just write in the laws, that they passed. Exactly where the money needs to go. And what needs to go there. That is complete.

They have the power. The Congress has all of this ability.

GLENN: As according to the Constitution. But the progressives, the progressives have changed all of that!

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: They passed in 1946, the Administrative Procedure Act. I don't know what that is. You ever heard of that?

Really, super important. It creates a fourth branch of government that's neither executive or legislative. It's just kind of out there in limbo. Why?

Because it dilutes the power of president. And it takes Congress out of the hot seat. They don't want to be blamed by you for something.

They -- is anyone taking responsibility for the cash that we know is being funneled into, you know, nefarious purposes?

Nobody in Congress is being held responsible for it.

Why? Because they did exactly what Stu said!

I was just giving to that agency. I don't have anything to say about the agency. I said, we should send it over there, because I thought they were doing this.

And then if the president doesn't have the power to say, wait a minute, you're not spending that money. Then you can't even blame him. Who do you blame?

Who is responsible for earmarking that money to go to those specifics groups?

Somebody you've never met. Somebody whose name you have never seen. Somebody who will never go to jail or be held responsible, even if they're funneling it to nefarious camps.

That's what this is really all about.
And when the people truly understand that, and realize, there is no check on the judicial branch. The judicial branch is supposed to just make the decisions. No, that's not in the Constitution.

But instead, we've changed all of these things, through law. That are -- those laws are unconstitutional.

Because they -- they destroy the checks and balances of the three branches.

But what are we going to do? Are we going to be like the Democrat?

Nope! Just do it anyway!

We say to the president of the United States right now, you let the DOJ, if they force you to spend this money. You sic the DOJ on them, and you track every dollar. You find anybody who is wasting our money. Anybody who is doing anything nefarious.

And you march them out in orange jumpsuit in shackles, and you throw their ass in jail. And then you wait for one of these people, in the Supreme Court, to die of natural causes!

Did you hear that, lefties? To die of natural causes.

And then you find the biggest constitutional pit bull. And you put them on the court!

That's the way Americans handle it.
