KJP tries to blame $34 TRILLION national debt on ... REPUBLICANS?!

For the first time, the United States has hit a national debt of $34 trillion. But according to President Biden's press secretary Karine Jean Pierre ... that's the REPUBLICANS' fault?! Glenn and Stu review KJP's ridiculous attempt to blame the debt on Republican tax cuts and "trickle-down economics." Plus, Glenn and Stu discuss ... Will we even make it to the next election???

STU: Did you see, we hit $34 trillion?

GLENN: I did. We're number one. We're number one.

Let's see if we can break that faster.

But, you know, this amazing accomplishment happened, while still cutting the budget more than anyone ever before.

STU: I know it's amazing.

Do we have that KJP clip. We've been playing on the four-minute Blaze today.

I don't know if we have that handy.

But it's her somehow trying to talk herself out of Joe Biden's failures with the debt in the cup.

It is -- I mean, again, we all know Karine Jean-Pierre. She's a complete moron. And throughout this entire answers, most of it, she's reading. And it's still this bad. You have to listen to this.

This is KJP I guess yesterday.

GLENN: Do you have any reaction to the new data our of Treasury that the national debt has hit a record of $34 trillion?

VOICE: So, yeah. If you look at that data. There's a trickle down at the time. If you think about it. Republican tax cuts are responsible for about 90 percent of it.

STU: Not true at all.

GLENN: Over the last few decades. Excluding mammalian spending.

STU: Oh. Oh. Wait a minute.

GLENN: Slow down here. Wait a minute. Excluding emergency spending?

STU: I love that.

Now, of course, the way the budget works. They don't believe up with one. They categorize all sorts of things as emergency spending. That is not emergency spending.

But just in recent history. Does anyone remember, I don't know. Six or $7 trillion we spent on just COVID?

GLENN: This is like, Stu. Stu. If you take Lisa, she is so frugal if you take away all of the purse spending.

STU: Right. She is a bargain basement.

GLENN: She's bargain basement. Okay. Just don't pay attention to the purse spending. Well, it's the purse spending that's the problem.

It's the -- it's the emergency spending that's the problem.

STU: Yeah.

It's like tell your wife. Look, honey, I'm completely loyal to you, without the exception of the Vegas trips. You know. With the exception of the trips to Epstein island. Everything is fine.

GLENN: Right. I do not have sex with underage children. Except when I go to the island with Jeffrey.
(laughter)
Wait.

STU: I mean, it's completely ridiculous.

And, you know, these -- and you could see, as she's going through this.

I love the mind. Or lack thereof of Karine Jean-Pierre.

First of all, she's flipping through pages. She knows questions are coming on $34 trillion. Probably actually literally knew it was coming. Again, this is part of the preparation process I would imagine for something like this.

All she can remember is the word -- the phrase trickle down. She knows that's negatively associated with Republicans.

GLENN: I know.

STU: You know, if you think about it. It's kind of a trickle down thing.

Is it?

Is it a trickle down thing?

It's a completely ridiculous thing.

You know, nonsensical catchphrase, she's memorized. And she's flipping through the pages. To find the context of what she's talking about.

I mean, does this happen to any other person, at any other line of work.

She's stalling to get to the page in her notebook, so that she can read the answer which she herself knows is filled with lies.

GLENN: Stu, this is an honest question.

Because I was thinking, jeez. Are we going to be dealing with this person next year too?

Yeah, probably.

And then I thought, do we even make it to an election? And I mean this sincerely.

STU: It's not that far away.

GLENN: I know. But listen to this.

Okay. As the decisions are disqualifying former president Donald Trump from the 2024 election, work their way through the courts.

A new filing in Pennsylvania seeks the same ballot cleansing.

It's the only latest effort targeting congressional candidates as Democrats seek to bar opponents as insurrectionists. We have become a nation of -- early names. Blah, blah, blah.

In, where was it?

In North Carolina. In North Carolina, they, in their primary election, the Democrats have just taken the name of Dean Phillips.

Marianne Williamson. And Sank, what's-his-face?

Off of the ballot.

Leaving the only choice for Democrats, to be Joe Biden.

What the --

STU: I mean, again. Joe Biden is going to win that election by 60 points? Seventy points.

He's not in danger at all. Why would you do this?

Again, while you're arguing that we must protect democracy.

Why on earth, there's no where you happen side at all. Dean Phillips is not going to win the election at the polls.

GLENN: But with enough positive thinking. And enough -- Marianne --

STU: Marianne Williamson may, with the right combination of crystals and oils may wind up winning. That's true. But like, it's not like he's in danger. Like when RFK Jr was on the ballot, maybe you could make an argument, he had a couple polls that looked good at the very beginning.

I don't know. It's a bizarre argument to me.

But he's not even doing. He's not even running anymore as a Democrat.

It's like, what is the point of this?

They're so anti-democracy.

And I know we're not a democracy. We're a constitutional republic. But inside of that, we do have elements of democracy.

GLENN: This is the democracy part.

You let the people vote.

You let that happen naturally vote.

Then they vote for the representative for the Republican.

STU: Yep.

GLENN: That's -- I mean, the only democracy part we have, they're trying to tear apart.

STU: I know.

And while they're making the argument with no pushback from the media.

And, you know, we might remind you had a the media has slogans like democracy dies in darkness.

Right? This is how they supposedly think about our system.

It's so sacred to them, that they can't possibly see it going away.

And yet, here they are.

Instead of just trying to go out and try to win. At some point, have the balls to admit you're in a contest against somebody else and win.

Like, you know, I'm so sick of people whining about losing.

GLENN: I know.

STU: And then acting as if -- just go out and win.

Ron DeSantis loses Iowa.

He should be able to come out. And say, hey, I got my ass kicked. That's what he should do.

GLENN: I haven't read anything in the National Review in a long time.

But I had to -- I had to read about, what if Trump wins?

The left can't handle a Trump victory in 2024, okay?

And it talks about how they are all saying, this is a dictator ship. This guy is going to destroy the country.

I mean, all the things that we say, about, you know, what the left is doing right now.

But we're still playing in the same sandbox.

These people, they're already subverting the Constitution. They're already breaking their own oaths and everything else. To keep him off the ballot. It's a pretty easy decision for the Supreme Court. There are five arguments. And at least three of them are -- you don't even have to be awake to go, yeah. That's not constitutional.

So they're doing these things now.

What happens, when the people who say, we were at a brink of a dictator ship. If he runs to pyro,it will be persecution.

People will lose their freedom. They will lose their property. He will take everything from them. He is just going to go on a vengeance tour. If you think that, really, and you think that the ends justify the means, and you're saving democracy. You cannot -- they're not going to sit down if he wins.

STU: Every single one of these outcomes seems to have a generous chunk of possibility that the entire system flames out.

Right?

Like, if -- if Donald Trump wins the primary and goes on and then gets put in prison, right? And maybe loses the election.

Like, can you imagine how people will react to that?

If the opposite happens, and he goes to prison and wins the election, can you imagine how the left would react to that?

Can you imagine if there's a close election that Donald Trump loses?

Let's just say, it's normal. That he just loses. Can you imagine how the people on the right are going to react to that, especially after what they believe happened in 2020.

Now, think of what happened with all of this, and you've got a potential dictator coming into power, as the left would say.

Imagine if Donald Trump just comes in and wins a boring close election. Can you imagine how they're going to react to that?

Like the chaos in the street, possibilities, are down every single term. I mean, look, maybe -- maybe the best argument to avoid it, in theory, would be someone who maybe -- Joe Biden isn't the candidate. And Donald Trump isn't the candidate. I don't know.

But I honestly don't even see -- there's passionate supporters on both sides of that. That wouldn't put up with it. I don't know what the heck would happen.

GLENN: Correct.

And also the left would just make the next Republican into somebody that is worse than Donald Trump.

STU: Worse. Yeah. Saying DeSantis is worse. He's going to be -- Nikki Haley is worse.
She will be a dictator. They will say, whatever they have to say.

And look, they have been trying that stuff for a long time.

It does seem they're at the end of their rope.

GLENN: You said, well, it's pretty hard to say it. Will you make it to the election, or past the election?

I mean, that's a real question.

STU: It's a real question. And I don't know.

You know, we've seen things break down in ways that we've never thought we would see in America. And we've seen it routinely, particularly after the past four World Series.

GLENN: And all of the unintended consequences that nobody -- it just doesn't work out, the way you always think it's going to.

The Most INSANE Claim from the Las Vegas Cybertruck Bomber’s Manifesto

The Most INSANE Claim from the Las Vegas Cybertruck Bomber’s Manifesto

The man who blew up explosives and fireworks in his Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Las Vegas Trump International Hotel made some very odd claims in a manifesto. So, was he crazy or a government whistleblower? Glenn reviews the claims, including that the U.S. and China have silent, undetectable aircraft that defy gravity and that China is operating these devices off our eastern coast. If true, these claims could explain the New Jersey drone sightings. But was this man – who set off a car bomb – telling the truth, or just insane? Glenn argues that we may soon know once Trump takes office.

GLENN: So there's a lot that has happened in the last couple of weeks since I've been gone. And I want to start with the terror attacks.

But I want you to know, there is a theme to today's show. January 6th.

The theme is: You've been lied to, and it is time for us now to sort through everything, and you find out what's true and what isn't true.

So let's dive into something that we begin with. It sounds like science fiction. In fact, the next two hours, are going to sound like science fiction to you.

But even if a fraction of this is true, it's not only real. But it's also deeply alarming. It's about power.

It's about secrecy. And those in the know.

That have kept the truth hidden from us. Not just from you and me. But from the very people sworn to protect our way of life.

So let me start with the source of what I'm going to till about. It's a manifesto that comes from the guy, who was claiming to be a whistle-blower. He claimed to be a man on the run. Hunted by his own government, he said.

He blew himself up, apparently, in a Tesla. Near the front door of the Trump hotel in Vegas.

Now, why would he do that?

He said because the government has been lying to us. I'm not going to give you the guy's name. Because I don't want to make him famous. And I hate -- we usually don't read manifestos on the air. And I'm going to give you the summary of it.

But if any of this is true, it needs to be released. We need to stand and up say, we need to know the truth on this.

Because if what he is saying is accurate, it changes everything. Now, if you read the manifesto, he talks about gravitic propulsion systems. What is that?

It's not your average stealth fighter or next gen drone.

We're talking about this about aircraft, that allegedly manipulate gravity itself.

Gravity. It manipulates it to achieve flight. It's a concept that defies all current physics.

But it's not without precedent in speculative science. Now, what this means is: No combustion engine. No jet fuel. No sound barrier.

Just seamless, silent motion at unimaginable speeds.

The kind of technology that makes radar, heat signatures, and even conventional missile defense systems completely obsolete.

Now, I know this sounds crazy. But there was a very little known announcement, kind of, that happened over the weekend.

That no one is talking about!

And it is the biggest news story of possibly all human history.

So hear me out on this.

Now, according to the manifesto, the aircraft are actively being deployed both in the United States and China.

And not just prototypes in some secret desert lab, but operationally.

Apparently, he alluded to the fact that this is what we're seeing with the drones. The whistle-blower claimed that China has been launching these systems from submarines stationed in the Atlantic right off our east coast.

Now, he let that sink in a minute, if this is true, silent, undetectable aircraft, capable of carrying massive payloads launched from submarines, that can -- can remain undetected just miles from our shores, or even up above the White House and no one would know.

Now, he claimed that he had direct knowledge of these programs.

He says, they have been used in China, for years. Conducting intelligence. Surveillance. Reconnaissance operations.

It goes along with our spy balloon.

Do you remember the spy balloon.

He says these gravitic systems are integrated with that same network.

And they form a system of surveillance, that is so advanced, he says, it makes our current intelligence look like carrier pigeons.

So he says, that these are the greatest national security threats in history.

And if we do have gravitic aircraft, or China does, he is absolutely right.

Because it would -- it would bypass every single defense system that we have. Imagine an aircraft, with an unlimited payload capacity.
A floating fortress. Invisible.

Undetectable. Capable of delivering weapons or conducting surveillance. Parked over our Capitol in DC.

That would be checkmate if it was true. That's the reality that this whistle-blower says is there.

But it also, in the manifesto, he dives into the past, in what he says, is a dark chapter of the US military history.

He alleges involvement in war crimes, during airstrikes in Nimruz province in Afghanistan, in 2016.

According to him, 125 buildings were targeted.

Sixty-five struck, resulting in hundreds of civilian deaths in a single day.

Now, he says, that the strikes continued even after civilians were spotted, knowingly, and deliberately. He calls it a cover-up.

However, we do know that the United Nations invested -- this did happen. And an investigation happened with the United Nations. He says it's all a cover-up, implicating the Department of Defense, the DEA, the CIA, and even high-ranking generals.

So he's not just talking about our national security being challenged by advanced technology.

He is also discussing the moral rot, that comes from operating in secrecy.

Even if -- let's just say none of this is true. This is allowed to take root, because everyone has kept too much secret.

And our government has lied to us. Now, he went on to say, he was -- he believed he was being hunted. Not just followed. But actively pursued by his own government.

Tracked by Homeland Security.

The FBI. Or some other federal agency.

Is that true? I don't know!

Could it be?

Tulsi Gabbard was on the no-fly list. Now, think of the insanity, or the desperation that would lead somebody to a point to where he prepared, you know, an IED in a vehicle.

Insane, right?

So who is he?

Does he have any credibility? Or he just some conspiracy theorist in the basement. Or a deeply disturbed military guy.

Well, he claims to have worked with high-ranking officials. Including General Miller's staff.

He even named specific operations and personnel. Those are easily verified.

Now, if he's lying, it's a pretty detailed lie. If he's not, well, then, are we in serious trouble.

Now, my guess is, he has multiple valor awards.

So he was a special operations guy. If you have that many valor awards, you probably have TBI.

You don't have to. But you probably had some traumatic brain injuries.

We also don't still understand what Biden's disastrous Afghanistan screwup has done mentally to our frontline war heroes.

Many of them have been possibly permanently screwed up over all of this.

He was being treated for PTSD. So we know that he had a mental issue, of PTSD. That doesn't mean edgers have credibility. I know a lot of people who have PTSD.

Here's the one thing we can take from this. That we know for sure.

Don't trust the government or the feds. Listen to the Founding Fathers. They didn't want you to trust the government or the feds.

They wanted you to hold them accountable. Look what they've done to us.

Our war fighters are hurting. In this particular case.

If you know one, reach out to them.

But let's return here just for a second to the gravitic propulsion technology.

If it's real, and China is actively using it, we're not talking about a military advantage.

We're talking about a shift in the balance of power, so profound, that it will destabilize the entire world.

Remember the Cold War? Mutually assured destruction?

That's the balance. Very delicate that kept the world from annihilating itself. This technology in the wrong hands, or even the right hands. Obliterates the balance. Unless we have it as well.

It introduces a new kind of stealth, warfare, where speed, stealth, and payload capacity make any conventional deterrence, absolutely worthless.

Now, if China has this technology, should we have been told? Why haven't we been informed?

Well, the whistle-blower said that it's because the US government has its own gravitic system, and it doesn't want to admit it.

So what was his message?

His plea, which I don't ever go into manifests and -- and uphold somebody. And I'm not upholding him and his message. And saying that his message is true. Except for this part: He was calling for transparency. Demanding that the American people be told the truth, about all of these programs, and their implications.

He said, that secrecy only increases the risk of catastrophic conflict.

One that could escalate into global war.

I heard another one, this weekend. Did you -- did you see that we were already sending war machinery over to Ukraine? Before Ukraine was invaded by Russia?

Why didn't we know that? What was the real intent? What is the real intent there?

So where does this leave us?

Well, sunlight is the best disinfectant, and sunlight is coming with Donald Trump.

If these technologies exist, if they're being deployed over our cities, we need to know it.

Secrecy breeds corruption. Corruption leads to decisions that harm us all.

This is nothing more than a wake-up call. It's a warning about the unchecked power. The risks of advanced technology. The moral cost of operating in the shadows.

Whether you believe any of it, or none of it, the core truth remains: We must demand accountability. Transparency.

And a return to the principles that made this country great. The stakes couldn't be higher.

God intervened. I really, truly believe this in the last election.

Now it's up to us. What are we going to do with the time that we have been given?

This is the time to turn the corner, and ask the hard questions and hold our leaders accountable.

Let's pray that the whistle-blower was wrong. But let's prepare to help this new Trump administration keep its promises.

He's going need to us. Very vocal to demand answers.

You want answers to this? You have to be vocal. You have to be serious. And we have to be heard.

You want the truth on January 6th? The COVID virus? Its cover-up. Fauci. The pharmaceutical companies. The food companies.

You want trials and people who did criminal things, to be tried fairly and if they're found guilty, go to jail?

How about the sex crime industry? The Diddy parties, Epstein.

Do you want answers on that?

These people are powerful! They are the most powerful people perhaps in the history of all mankind. They're not going to go silently into the dark.

They are not going to give up without a fight. We must all resolve today. On January 6th, '25. That transparency is number one.

Remember, Trump said, they weren't trying to kill him, because they were afraid of him.

He told us, over and over again.

He was just in the way of them getting to us. They are afraid of us!

That is the way the Founders intended it to be.

So now, beginning January 20th. It is our time to hold them accountable.

Those we think are doing our bidding. They must know, we will hold them accountable. And we demand answers.

EVERY LIE About Jan. 6 Revealed
RADIO

EVERY LIE About Jan. 6 Revealed

Over the past 4 years, government leaders and the Legacy Media told us that the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot was the end of “Democracy”, incited by Donald Trump, and the darkest day in American history. This narrative sent many Americans to prison, including many nonviolent attendees. But now, we know much more about the truth. Glenn goes down the long list of Jan 6 LIES that are quickly unraveling: “It looks like this was all crafted NOT to protect “Democracy”, but to bolster an agenda.” But there is still plenty that needs to be revealed under Donald Trump.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So here we are, four years -- four years ago was the events of January 6th, 2021. The darkest day in all of the republic. Well, what we thought was true is quickly unraveling now.

For many -- many Americans, this day is a dividing line. The narratives have clashed. Emotions have run high. Our trust in institutions, sworn to protect us, has been further eroded in ways that only dramatic action will -- will we ever be able to regain a portion of our trust.

Now, there are newly emerging details. They're not just revelations. They are bombshells that force to us confront an uncomfortable truth about our government.

And that should be the message of January 6th.

And that message, the truth about our government, its accountability, and the lengths that it will go to preserve its version of a story.

Even when it is all a lie.

Beginning on January 6th, in the afternoon, Americans were told of an imminent threat. Two pipe bombs were found near the RNC and the DNC headquarters. These devices, if you remember, we were told, could have caused catastrophic harm.

After all, at the DNC, the vice president had been rushed to the DNC, strangely without explanation.

And also, strangely all records were lost!
The -- secret service accidentally deleted all of those records on why she was moved to the DNC. Now we know the investigation into these bombs was woefully insufficient.

And I'm being kind with that.

I don't think it even happened at all.

Surveillance footage was ignored. Cameras were turned, just hours before the pipe bomb was laid. Cell phone data, in both places. We were told was corrupted.

The only thing that was corrupted, was our own government and FBI. We now know, that the data was not corrupted. According to the cell phone companies. They were never asked to turn over the information to the FBI. They were never asked. Critical leads went unpursued. Today, four years later, questions about the bomber's identity still remain unanswered. The lack of urgency begs the question, why. Why would federal agencies neglect a critical, critical investigation, in something that was going to destroy the republic? Could have killed the vice president? What if the pipe bombs were nothing more than a convenient distraction? Boy, a justification to escalate security measures and cast a broader shadow over what they hoped would unfold that day? It's not conspiratorial to ask those questions. It is our duty, as citizens. Because we now know, our government lied. So we want answers.

We know that 26 FBI informants were on the ground that day. But they must go into the Capitol.

Now, let that sink in.

It's not speculation. It's fact. Twenty-six FBI informants.

What were they doing there? Were they infiltrating the crowd?

Were they guiding its behavior?

Were they acting as provocateurs. Why if the FBI had six informants, why did this happen at all?

The presence raises troubling concerns about how much of January 6th, was actually organic, and how much was orchestrated.

Four years ago today, I was tweeting, this has got to stop!

This isn't who we are. All of these people should go to jail. Well, today, I still say, if you broke the windows, and you were clad in a mask, man, you were causing damage and, you know, hurting people.

Yeah. You should go to jail. But the time you should have served, is, you know, up by now. But there are still people in jail.

Maybe for as long as 20 years! It looks like this was all crafted, not to protect democracy. But to bolster an agenda.

Amid the chaos, everybody pointed their finger to one man, Donald J. Trump. But the new information paints a vastly different picture. Two takes before January 6th, it has now been verified, that Trump authorized the deployment of the National Guard, citing concerns over potential unrest, at the Capitol on January 6th.

But his concerns were ignored, his offer was rebuffed, by Nancy Pelosi and the Capitol Police. Why?

Who in the chain of command chose to disregard this presidential directive? The presence of the national guard would have prevented much of the mayhem that occurred, maybe even all of it. Yet, that opportunity was squandered, and no one told us about it. In fact, the media told us that Trump wanted the chaos. The truth is, we now know, he sought to prevent it.

This glaring omission from mainstream narrative, exposes just January 6th story has been manipulated to fit a preconceived conclusion.

Then there was the Ashley Babbitt story, a name who has become a rallying cry for those who see January 6th as a miscarriage of justice. She was a decorated Air Force veteran. She was shot and killed on live TV by a Capitol police officer, while attempting to climb through a broken window.

Her death was ruled justified, almost immediately. But now, we learn that the officer involved, violated multiple procedural rules. The officer, wrong shielded from scrutiny, held up as a hero, is now under investigation for misconduct, so severe, that it could lead to criminal charges.

Think about that. A life was taken, the person responsible may not have followed any of the protocols.

What else was cut, because of security? What else was held up as an example of good police work?

And why was Babbitt's death so quickly dismissed by the media and the government officials? In the days of George Floyd, why was this one policeman, his actions not scrutinized?

Did her life not matter? Her story was buried under a mountain of political narratives.

And most importantly, January 6th is all about the perversion of justice. The using of allies and social media. High-tech, global corporations. Including telecom and airlines. In many cases, offering up location data on people, that were simply in Washington, DC, without being asked.

What the FBI did with it, how perverted the court system was in DC alone. The knowing role of our politicians. Local and federal. Our police. The higher ups with the National Guard, as well as at the Pentagon now.

What do these things tell us about our country?

Well, they tell us that our country as we hope it would be is dead. That we have been lied to.

They mean that the events of January 6th are far more complex than the tidy little story that they had by 6:00 p.m. that night.

They mean that the very institutions designed to uphold justice and democracy. May have played a role in undermining them.

And let's not just blame one side.

January 6th wasn't about Trump supporters and Democrats or the media.

It was about a system, that thrives on division and chaos.

A system that uses fear, to control us. If federal agencies can lie, manipulate, and withhold the truth about January 6th. What are they not capable of doing?

What are they willing to do? To maintain their grip on power.

We the American people, four years later, on January 6th, must demand the truth. We don't just deserve it. We demand it.

Not the sanitized version. Not the politically convenient version. Not the story that makes the Democrats look bad alone.

But tells us the truth. The entire truth. That means, demanding accountability from the FBI. The Capitol Police.

Every government official on either side, who had a hand in what happened that day, or covering it up.

It means, refusing to let the deaths, the lies, the unanswered questions, fade into a history, of political footnotes.

It seems that January 6th now four years later, we can say was not the end of democracy. But it may have been the beginning of the end for our blind trust in all of our institutions, that we now know have failed us time and time again.

The truth will set you free. We were preserved, I believe. God is not done with us.

That was a miracle, that Donald Trump was elected.

That was a miracle that he lived to see the election.

God did what we could not do.

Now, he is demanding that we do our part. And that is to ensure lies and corruption are not buried.

But that we demand equal justice. I don't care who you are, where you work, what label you have, what party you belong to.

This must end!

Why the Spending Bill Fight is PROOF that DOGE is Working

Why the Spending Bill Fight is PROOF that DOGE is Working

Is the Republican Party’s “unity” collapsing? The legacy media insists that Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Rep. Chip Roy are tearing each other apart over the continuing resolution spending bill. But Glenn and fellow BlazeTV host ‪@lizwheeler‬ argue that this isn’t the truth: “How lucky are we that 2 months ago, we were debating ‘good vs evil.’ And now, we’re debating ‘good vs better.’ It also shows you that the DOGE process is working.” Glenn and Liz break down what’s happening with the spending bill debate and why Republicans are disagreeing over the debt ceiling.

GLENN: I want to talk about the collapse of the unity. Can you give this story, to me, Liz, without -- with just the details of everybody's arguing and hating on each other.

LIZ: Yes. It is, of course.

If you listen to the mainstream media. It's a circling firing squad. Between Chip Roy. Donald Trump, and Elon Musk.

I don't view it that way at all.

I actually like to see this kind of contention within the Republican ranks. Because how lucky are we, that two months ago, we were debating good versus evil.

And now we're debating good versus better. This is a wonderful thing.

It also shows you, that the DOGE process is -- is working.

Elon Musk said, listen. Go ahead.

STU: Okay. So before we get there, explain.

Because I was on a plane yesterday. So I must see the bill, that was presented.

And I get off the plane, and everybody is hating on each other. Like, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

What just happened. Mike Johnson proposed his bill on Wednesday. And that went to hell in a handbasket.

Thank God we got rid of that!

That would have been a nightmare. Then they proposed a second bill.

And it increased the debt ceiling. Which has to be done by June or July of this year.

Increased it by $5 trillion. And all of the conservatives. And, quite frankly, conservatives like me.

And I think you, that have been for stop raising the at the time ceiling. Let's get out of debt.

We started having this debate about the debt. The debt ceiling has got to be -- has got to go up, unfortunately, in -- at this time.

Well, let me finish the -- what actually happened first, before we get into that.

So people like Chip Roy stood up and Donald Trump had endorsed this. They say it was a clear CR. But if I'm not mistaken, wasn't there some other stuff in there? Like protection for the January 6ers?

Was that left in, or was that taken out?

Do you know, Jill? Liz. Sorry.

LIZ: It was mostly clean. The objectionable parts you raised your voice against last couple of days, the reauthorization of the global engagement center, the vaccine passports. That kind of garbage was taken out.

It did increase the debt ceiling. Technically, I think it was the extension of the already increases -- automatic increases.

And I understand in principle. Most of us don't want to increase the debt ceiling.

However, however, it became an argument last night, about that specifically.

Which distracts from what I think is the bigger pictures.

The bigger picture being for a long time in Washington, DC, and Congress. The people who have said they were fiscally conservative. Haven't been effective in making that happen or making cuts.

What Donald Trump did, is he hired what he considered to be the most brilliant man in our country to say, retool this process and do it better.

Elon Musk came in. With DOGE. And said, what we're going to do is be transparent with you.

We will tell you exactly what your tax money is being spent on.

Then we will leave it to you, to lobby your congressional members to cut that.

And, Glenn, that's exactly what happened this time.

We looked at that 1500-page bill that Speaker Johnson had put forward.

We identified five or six things in that bill. Said no. And effectively, we were victorious.
We got that bill killed. Which is, I think very exciting.

GLENN: Right.

LIZ: And then we had this clean version. And then that's when --

GLENN: Yeah. That's -- because -- because there are -- and I am one of them.

They have been so tired of, oh. We're going to raise the debt.

But then we're going to cut. I don't believe anybody in Washington.

However, I do believe Donald Trump. I do believe Elon Musk. I do believe Vivek Ramaswamy.

I do believe just for survival reasons alone, Donald Trump has got to take a hatchet to the size of this government.

Okay?

So let's just look at it from I will be killed. Or I will be thwarted, by this giant government.

And I've got to reduce the size, so it doesn't have octopus arms everywhere, trying to choke me out.

So I believe that he wants to cut the size of government, and I believe he has a plan to do it.

I believe that Elon Musk is a guy. I mean, Donald Trump got famous for saying, you're fired.

Elon Musk is famous for actually firing people.

And cutting all of the nonessential.

So those two together. Have reasons.

One is, hey. This just needs to run like a sound operation.

And the other one is that, plus, oh, and it's trying to kill me.

So I believe they're incentivized unlike anyone else in my lifetime, to cut the size of the government.

Donald Trump, to me, and I love Chip Roy.

I love him. I hope he replaces John Cornyn. I love him.

However, at this point, I believe Donald Trump should be given the benefit of the doubt, for this reason.

He's got to do. If he wants to fix America, and make it truly great. He can't do what the Democrats have done.

And that is just, start spending money like arise. And pushing money out the door. He's got to return the money to you.

So he has to have these tax cuts. And he has to have them right now.

When he walks through the door, he has to have them.

So you're going to have this period, where you're flipping the entire company of the United States the government, upside down.

You're in a transition period. And so we're going to need to spend more, as we cut more.

But you can't -- you cannot shut off the debt. We're a trillion dollars. Every 100 -- I'm sorry. Not a trillion.

Yeah. A trillion dollars, every 100 days.

A trillion, every 100 days!

We're a trillion dollars a year, just in interest now.

You can't -- 5 trillion is not a lot, when you're playing with these numbers.

It's obscene to even say that!

We have to cut trillions out.

But Donald Trump to be able to pull this off, he has got to make people's lives better, quickly.

And the two ways to do it, is to first return money to the people, ask. Then to make it actually last, cut all of the regulation. And all of the size of the government.

That one, we don't want to be fighting two battles. We want to fight one battle.

And in my opinion, Donald Trump has shown me, he's willing to take a bullet for the Constitution and the United States and for us.

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, coupled with Elon Musk, because I believe their intentions are aligned with my intentions and desires.

Does that make sense?

LIZ: Yeah. I think that's right. Like I said, it's a funny situation. Because they're both right. Chip Roy is correct in principle that we should cut spending. And Donald Trump and Elon Musk are correct in practice.

GLENN: It's timing. It's just time.

LIZ: It is timing. They actually are both going to achieve -- or they hope to achieve the same thing.

I concur with your analysis. I have hope that Donald Trump is -- I mean, he's a changed man.
We've all seen this, since he took a bullet to the ear.

He's viewing his own world differently. He's viewing his duty to us, differently.

He's viewing his stewardship of our country, differently. He is doing something groundbreaking.

He is upending, disrupting the process this Congress, that has been business as usual.

And it can be messy. And maybe not everyone in Congress, even if they're principally correct, has quite grasped. Oh, this is the new way, we will do things.

I think Donald Trump has this right.

STU: Yeah. I do too. And I think the Republicans -- the fiscally responsible Republicans.

And it could turn out, you're right and I'm wrong.

But I really, truly believe disruption is where we're going.

And this -- this did disrupt.

And if we don't all stand together, they will disrupt us.

And I am not one to believe that the spending is going to magically go down.

I don't believe that. But if you were a family, and you were a business, and you were running debt, and you just didn't want -- you didn't know what to do. How do I stop the hemorrhaging?

Who in the world would be the best adviser that you could get?

Who in the world could you say, I need somebody to look at all these finances. Figure out what's what.

And how to cut. And how to make my business stronger.

I can't imagine anyone better than Elon Musk. So let's listen to Elon and Donald Trump. And, by the way, if anybody thinks Elon is taking over. Did you read how the tweets are coming out?

He went to Donald Trump. Trump and the vice president were working together, on a statement.

And Elon came in and said, hey. I want to release this.

Is it okay if I release this?

And Donald Trump read it, and said, yeah. Go for it.

That's where we are. Go for it.

So Elon is not leading the president.

Believe me, the president has a plan.

Let's give him all the opportunities we can, to let him execute it.

Because we've all come up with other plans. And none of them have worked.

This one has as many of the best minds in the world on it.

Let's let them do their job.

The Gen Z ‘King’ Keeping Georgia Boys Off the Streets | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 239

“I hated white people,” says King Randall, founder of the X for Boys in Albany, Georgia. Now, Randall has totally changed his mind and is rejecting victimhood and the mainstream narratives surrounding race in America. After the 2016 election, it seemed to him like the “world was about to end,” but this election season, Randall made waves after Elon Musk shared Randall’s viral video detailing the hate he received from Democrats after posting a video claiming he is voting for Trump. “You may not be worried about politics,” Randall says. “But politics is worried about you.” That is why Randall is on a mission, not to “fix the world” but to “fix Albany, Georgia” — his hometown. Inspired by the book of Genesis, King sees himself as a partner with God in the good work of “making men” out of the boys in his community. He reveals to Glenn what he thinks is “actual white supremacy” and how the Twitter Files exposed how technocrats “effectively control everyone’s minds.” With injustices like slavery and Jim Crow, Randall knows his “ancestors went through hell,” but now it’s his generation's turn to step up, because the civil rights leaders “didn’t train replacements.” The pair discuss faith and the apostle Paul “going gangsta,” before Glenn shares his thoughts that Gen Z just may be the “hero generation.”
