Trump Jr. responds to rumors that RFK Jr. will endorse Trump, join the administration

There have been rumors lately that RFK Jr. is debating whether to suspend his presidential campaign and endorse Donald Trump in order to stop Kamala Harris from winning the White House. If so, he may also try and get a position in the Trump administration. Presidential transition team member Donald Trump Jr. joins Glenn with his thoughts: “I love the idea of giving him some sort of role in a major 3-letter entity and letting him blow it up.” Don Jr. also weighs in on the chaos at the DNC and why he believes Kamala Harris is “the most powerful VP we’ve had”.

GLENN: Welcome to the program the Trump organization, vice president, and host of triggered with Don Jr.

Donald Trump Jr.

Hey, Don, how are you?

DONALD: How is it going? It's good to be with you guys.

GLENN: It's good to be with you. I just talked to your sister-in-law, Lara, last hour. And we got the take on the convention. I don't know what their bold vision is. But based on the number of times they talked about your father, I think the bold vision for America is Donald Trump. I think that's what they're selling. I don't know, appeal. Because I got --

DONALD: It's sort of hard to believe. I haven't heard a vision. I have seen a lot of projection. I mean, the one that really got me was watching this lady, she got up there. Hysterical, saying that, you know, if Donald Trump gets in there, he would do the unthinkable. And he would weaponize the Justice Department against his political enemies.
(laughter)

DONALD: To arrest him -- and I'm sitting there thinking, oh, my God. Honestly, Glenn. I don't know. Do they -- do they not know?

Have they not been watching for the last three years? I mean, it's really mind-boggling.

GLENN: It is.

DONALD: They think that they're doing the right thing, and that it's totally within the norm. And if we responded even remotely in kind, that that would be some sort of violation of the standards that they've been breaking for years now. It's mind-boggling to me, I can't figure it out.

GLENN: I know.

We think that they either think that they're invincible at this point, and they can say anything. Or they believe in the Hitler line.

Repeat a lie long enough. And it becomes the truth.

Or they're just -- they just think they're -- their voters are just dumb as a box of rocks.

But that's the only answers --

DONALD: I think they are. You have no choice but to believe that at this point. Just look at them. I'm looking at the DNC, both inside and out.

And I can't imagine too many Americans, you know, want their children growing up in a country like that. There's fires and looting and rioting.

They don't know what to agree upon, amongst themselves. They're supporting terror organizations.

And they're giving out. I made a joint on my podcast. On rumble. A couple of weeks ago.

About, hey, guys. The people who have been screaming about democracy there.

They're shoving into your face, putting in Kamala Harris. She got zero votes. They overwrote the process. They set up a coup. They really want to preserve democracy. Vote Donald Trump.

He will fix the economy. He will stop the wars. And, you know, in four short years, you can go back to trying to do your drive-through abortions and all the other nonsense.

And I said it, tongue-in-cheek. And there's literally an abortion and vasectomy. To be clear, I'm not entirely against the vasectomy ban for the people at the DNC that I've seen so far. You know, I have to be honest. It's probably a solid idea.

I think they should use it, and perhaps we should raise the money to make sure it's available to them at all times for free.

But immediately, they're literally trying to make a parody of some of these things. They're actually doing those things.

It's mind-boggling.

GLENN: I know. I know. I know.

And nobody is talking about what's outside, besides the vasectomy trucks. And that's the extremist groups.

There was some research that came out from Capitol Research Center. And they had a very, very tight description of terrorist groups.

It has to be somebody who has actually said or pledged support to one of these terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda.

They found 150 of these, that support terrorism, or identify as Marxists, communists, or -- I can't say it.

Somebody who is into anarchy. And have -- have said that they are coming out, to collapse the -- the government.

And you have -- you have these groups, passing things out. Armed resistance is the only answer. And Israel. Stand with Hamas.

They're standing with the Muslim Brotherhood. The Communist Party of the Philippines. The Taliban.

It's crazy, and nobody is talking about it

DONALD: Well, and no one is talking about the obvious, which is Kamala Harris hasn't done an interview in a month.

They are letting her run to Joe Biden. Hide her into a basement campaign.

To understand, she doesn't have, you know, the personality to actually do these things proper. But think of how insane that is.

They are then usurping some of our ideas. But they go totally contrary to everything that Kamala voted for. You know, she's not going to do taxes on tips now, but she was the tie-breaking vote in the Inflation Reduction Act, which usually put 86,000 IRS agents in there, who literally go after people, to make sure that their tips were being taxed.

You know, and no one -- no one says a word. You know, she said, she will shut down the border.

Well, what has she been doing? Glenn, I would argue, she's the most powerful vice president we've probably had, certainly in recent times.

Because she's serving under someone who we all acknowledge now, even the left acknowledges is totally inept.

He's been incapacitated for his entire presidency. She could have done any one of the things she's talking about doing. But it's -- it's insane. Why isn't she doing what she's doing? You could have done it over the last three and a half years.

Oh, you're going to do it now? Why don't you start today? You don't have to wait until January 20th. You are literally the most powerful person in government. Because it ain't Joe Biden. He's not even president.

GLENN: Yeah, I know. I know.

So you've been named to the transition team, for your father. And can you give me some idea? Are you looking for people, or will you put people in, that truly understand the depth of the Deep State, and people that are willing to fire all of these people? I mean, it's going to take -- excuse my expression -- balls of steel to do this.

DONALD: Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's literally why I wanted to be on transition. It's literally not to appoint actually a single person. It's to block all of the bad actors. And there's plenty of them.

That's the difference between now and '16. '16, we didn't know. At the time, there was 4,000 divisions in the book, and that's the book that the president assigns these roles. It's like, we didn't know any of them.

My father had spent 2 days in DC in his entire life, prior to winning the presidency. We had no idea, where to start.

Now we know, we have seen the bad actors. We have seen the ones who tell you they will be loyal. Five minutes after they win. They put out a nice tweet, negating seven years of hate. Those are the guys, the ones that are your supposed friends. They're actually much worse than the Democrats. Because you assume they're actually doing the right thing by you. Because they supposedly do these things. But even if they believe them, they're subverting you across the way. So -- but I got on there. My father got on there. The first thing he said, yeah. Those people aren't getting jobs. We don't want them in our administration. We don't need that.

We have four years to fix something. Now we have an understanding of how that works. We know who the good people are and the bad people are. So, you know, hey. Yeah, beyond the 4,000 jobs, there's tens of thousands of jobs. So I don't know they will be perfect -- as perfect as it possibly can be.

GLENN: Well, I am hoping that the price of housing in the DC area collapses, because you're -- your father has won. And everybody knows, oh, crap. They're just going to be cutting all these jobs. And there's plenty of housing for people, that are living around the Capitol.

The endorsement from RFK, do you think that's coming?

DONALD: I hope so. You know, I think RFK is a smart guy. I think he actually has very good views on certain things. There are some things we are going to disagree with him on. But I think it shows sort of a unity against literally -- you know, before I hopped on, the communism that we are up against. It's not hyperbole anymore. It's not you like, they're just a little more left than us. It's not -- you know, these people. She was talking about, we want -- she was saying, we want to set up this, and we will be auditing businesses. And we will take away your businesses. And we will take away your children if we can't do drive-through, you know, transgender surgeries for minors without parental consent. They've lost their minds!

And so you know, I love the idea, I love the idea of giving him some sort of role and some sort of major, you know, three-letter entity, or whatever it may be, and blow it up. I think that's what we need.

And so I think that kind of unity, even where there may be disagreements on certain things. I think it can be a really great asset for that. I think it could bring people together.

And I think it shows, a strong -- a strong opposition to what we're up against. Which is just abject insanity. And I think if we had real unity, across independence and others in America, to stand up for what we know is coming, what the media is doing a very good job, hiding from us. That is just the reality of the Kamala Harris platform.

GLENN: It's amazing.

DONALD: Which is just a continuation of the Biden administration's platform. You know, we don't need another four years at this.

What's unique with this election. We had four years under Trump. We had four years under Biden. When were you better off?

It's sort of a no-brainer. And yet, when you're up against the trillion dollar institution of ten trillion dollars of mainstream media, functioning as the marketing arm of the Democrat Party. You know, it's hard to get a fair shake. And so we have to expose that. And the more people that we had on board, the better. So I certainly would be open and welcome to the idea, frankly.

GLENN: I have to tell you, and I asked your sister-in-law this about an hour ago. You know, there are things coming out of the White House right now. For instance, new nuclear strategy, to go against China, Russia, and North Korea, at the same time.

Nuclear solutions.

And there's no way, this president got up in the morning, and said, you know what, I'm worried about this.

And we have to put these things. Who is the president of the United States? Because the person that is controlling it now. Is going to be the person that controls it, when Kamala gets in.

And it doesn't seem like it matters to anyone. That this guy isn't running the country right now. Who is?

DONALD: I couldn't tell you. I assume it's one of the Obama lackeys, Susan Rice or Valerie Jarrett, or some of the really bad actors that we've seen, you know, working abroad. You know, starting wars and, you know, continuing them forever.

But think about that. I mean, coming up with nuclear plans. Now, we are much closer to nuclear war, and that is even according to the Biden administration. And we have since the missile crisis, but we made that happen.

You know, we gave Putin every excuse he needed to invade Ukraine. I'm not saying he's a good guy. I'm not saying he wouldn't have done it maybe eventually, anyway.

But the deal breaker was always moving NATO into Ukraine, so we had a 500 -- you know, thousand-mile long buffer zone.

And said, you know what, we'll put NATO right on Russia's border. So if they were going to do it, we certainly gave them every excuse imaginable. You know, they had a peace deal ready, early on in this thing.

They would have signed it. But, no, no, no, we wanted to keep the war machine going.

The war machine watched, you know, Big Pharma get rich during COVID. And said, no, no, no. It's our turn back at the trough. We hadn't had a war in six weeks. You know, it's time to make some more money again. It's asinine.

But these people are morons, and they have no incentive to actually get to peace. Right?

You stop this war, by cutting off the money. The second that goes away, they're at the table in two seconds. Certainly, Zelinsky is. And that's how you will negotiate peace. My father understands that. Kamala Harris not only does not understand how to do it, but she has no desire to do it, because her friends are probably getting rich from it.

GLENN: Yeah.

It is -- it's a remarkable time that we live in. And we pray for you and your family, every day. And we pray for our country as well.

I am more convinced than ever, as you watch things unfold over in Europe, that this whole thing is a show.

Your father is, I believe, the only man that can make a difference and stop this global takeover of the West. But we're getting down to the wire.

What's happening over in Europe. Nobody is paying attention to.

But how did we get some of the same policies in every Western country. That is setting every Western country on fire.

And the America first agenda is the way to stop.

KAMALA: I'm watching what's going on over in the UK, where that clown police chief.

We're going to extradite and arrest people for breaking -- when you say a mean tweet, and they will arrest you in America? Extradite you into the UK and put you in jail? I'm saying, people, literally. We hate that these illegal immigrants are curb stomping us in the streets. We really think that's terrible.

How dare say that about the immigrants! You know what happens to the person actually doing the curb stomping? Nothing.

You know, they probably get a government voucher program, getting money to beat the crap out of the people in the country that took them in.

It's mind-boggling. And I'm watching these people. I'm watching the videos of the judges handing out these sentences for 20 months, 24 months. For people that are just like, hey, man. I'm sick of this crap. What's going on.

It's not even racist. It's not hate speech. It's just common sense.

It's basic vernacular. To say, hey. I don't want to get beat up in my streets. It's only happening because of immigration.

Of course, it is.

But it doesn't matter to them.

It's literally like, they're destroying their own civilization.

And they're just willingly doing it. I've never seen anything like it.

GLENN: Yeah. Don, always good to talk to you.

Thank you so much. Keep up the good work.

And we'll do anything we can to help.

Donald Trump Jr. You bet.

The Book of Enoch: Did Extraterrestrial Beings DESCEND in the Days of Noah?!

The Book of Enoch tells a story the Bible only hints at: A story of heavenly beings who descended to Earth, took human wives, created hybrid giants, and unleashed forbidden knowledge that corrupted the world before the Flood. Glenn Beck and researcher Timothy Alberino break down how the ancient Hebrew worldview explains the Watchers, the Nephilim, the origins of demigod myths, and why Peter and Jude referenced Enoch directly in the New Testament. From extraterrestrial terms in Scripture to the cosmic “family of God” and the divine rebellion that reshaped human history, this discussion reveals a forgotten narrative that once defined early Jewish and Christian theology. What really happened in the days of Noah, and why does it matter now?

Cracker Barrel CEO speaks out about DISASTROUS logo in exclusive upcoming interview

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I was in Tennessee this weekend, and Saturday morning, I go to -- I think store number two for Cracker Barrel. And I met with the senior vice president and the CEO of Cracker Barrel. And we sat down, and we had an interview. And Julie, who has not done an interview since Good Morning America, kind of said, okay. No more interviews, because that didn't go well.

This was her first interview since then.

And, you know, it was weird. Because I got off. I got off the plane.

And, oh. Somebody on the plane said, "What are you doing here?"

And I said, "I'm going to go interview the CEO of -- of Cracker Barrel."

And the immediate response was, "Get her!"

I was like, "Wow. Okay. All right. Thank you."

I get into the car, and the Uber driver says to me, "What are you doing here?" And I said, "I'm going to meet with the person at Cracker Barrel."

"Boy, she really screwed her up. You hold her feet to the fire."

I mean, I've never -- I've never seen anything like that. And, you know, I started the interview with her, you know, honestly. And I said, look, I -- I -- I'm not here to get you. I'm not here to do anything, but ask questions that I think everybody in America wants to know.

Like, what the hell were you thinking?

And I asked her some -- asked her all of the really pointed questions. Rikki, the TV executive producer said, "There's no way. I know you. You're going to soften. There's no way."

And when I got up afterwards, she was like, "Wow. Okay. You didn't -- you really -- you really didn't soften. You know, you asked all of those questions."

Because I thought they were fair. And I told her, "Look, I hate conflict. I'm not here for conflict. I'm not here. I don't need to make a name for myself by giving you a hard time. I don't care about any of that. I just want to do my job and ask you, 'What happened here?'"

And I said, "So I'm going to ask you really uncomfortable questions." And she was prepared. And I think I finally broke through, and got the real answer in the end. I think I got the real answer.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: And it came from one of the questions I asked was, I mean, are you surprised, you haven't been fired yet?

And her response was, all telling. All telling. It's a fascinating interview you should watch. It's going to happen, I think Thursday on the podcast.

STU: Because I'm mildly surprised that hasn't happened. You know, like just because -- not because -- I don't know. There's a lot of things she's been accused of and everything else.

But just like, when you have a situation like this, where you're trying a major change and you roll it out a specific way and it does not go well, you know, it's usually -- it's like, when you're general manager of a football team, you go through the process. You evaluate all the quarterbacks. You pick the guy.

And that guy is a total bust, like you usually don't survive it. It doesn't necessarily mean you went through the process incorrectly. But when you miss, usually something happens like that. Does she feel like she missed like that?

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yes, she does.

She's a very bright woman. I mean, she ran Coach, you know, the purse place or whatever.
STU: The purse company.
GLENN: The Coach brand. Godiva Chocolates. Taco Bell, the whole -- global. (I mean, she's a Fortune 500 CEO. She's very, very competent. Very competent.

So how could somebody very, very competent make this mistake?

STU: Hmm. Did she walk you through that? How that happened?

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. She see.

And what's interesting is, they brought the senior vice president was also sitting there.

And he has been brought in since.

I mean, he had been there for 30, 35 years.

And really good guy. And he was one of the voices that was like, while that was happening, like, you guys. Hey, everybody upstairs. You shouldn't be doing this.

It's a bad idea. And so after they were like, "Hey. You know who was saying this? Let's bring him upstairs." And it was interesting to talk to him, because he's been long before she got there. So he kind of gave the view of, here's what happened before she got here! And here's where she came in.

And here's what happened.

And it's -- it's really fascinating.

I mean, if you want to hear the real story behind it.

And -- and also see somebody -- I mean, just wait until you hear her answer on -- I mean, it was so powerful and so honest. When I said, are you surprised you haven't been fired yet?

It was a fascinating answer.

STU: How many pancakes did you --

GLENN: Podcast on Thursday, I didn't eat any.

STU: You went to Cracker Barrel headquarters, and you ate zero pancakes?

GLENN: I didn't. I didn't. It was very difficult to not order the pancakes.

STU: You're the type of guy who gets pancakes by mistake. What do you mean you've got none?

GLENN: I was looking at my wife. My wife was sitting off to the side of the camera. And I'm looking at her. I'm like, she's so beautiful. And I eat pancakes, too many times.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And she's just -- she has to live with this, the pancake-wearing shoes. I'm not going to order the pancakes. The pancakes.

THIS Epstein quote could PROVE Trump’s real ties to the scandal

Democrats are trying yet again to tie President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein’s scandals. This time, they’ve highlighted that Epstein once referred to Trump as “the dog that hasn’t barked.” Is this proof that Trump is in the Epstein Files…or is it actually evidence that he was a whistleblower against Epstein? Glenn and Stu discuss…

GLENN: Now, Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news today. Could we just for the love of Pete release everything that we have, so we can move on! From the Jeffrey Epstein thing.

Here's the answer: No.

Even if we release everything that we still have, this is going to go on for the rest of our lives.

It will always -- and probably, into our children's lives.

Do you know, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump were the reason we never went to the moon.

It's going to happen!

It's just one of these conspiracy theories, that will never, ever go away.

Why?

Because no one was honest about it in the first place. Once you start to lie, you lie once -- once! If you're a very honest person, you will lie once. And then people are like, what? What?

Why would he lie about that? What is going on?

He's not like that. But if you're the United States governor government. You already have no credibility whatsoever!

Stop lying to the American people.

Just stop it. You know, I said something a minute ago. One of the reasons why you're hearing lies is because it works to the advantage of a Colour Revolution.

You know, there are reasons why people are lying to you. Some of it, they're just dirtbags and they're liars. Some of it, they're politicians, and so they're liars.

Some of it, however, a good deal of it is, we lie, because we know it causes damage to the credibility of this entire system.

We know it does damage to the culture of America, and we are here trying to destroy the culture of America because we want to try something new. And the only -- you won't vote for it. So the only way we can get America to change and do something entirely different, that they will never vote for, is just to cause chaos and disbelief in everything!

So as I said a minute ago, you know, it's not the news. Many times, it's a reflection of a plan! And when it comes to the Epstein thing, this is absolutely a plan. The way this thing has been played out. Democrats are completely against bringing anything out against Epstein.

They don't want to do anything about it. The media. Do you remember the ABC anchor that went into a commercial break. And she was like, you know what, I've got to tell you, Epstein. You know, we had the goods on him. Dead to rights.

Clinton. All of it.

And we were told, pull it.

Remember that.

Remember that, gang?

They pulled it at ABC. I think they fired the person who tried to -- who released that video.

Or tried to fire that person. I think they were working either at CBS or whatever. That person was in trouble for releasing that behind the scenes tape.

They had no intention of it. Now, everybody wants the Epstein tapes. Wait a minute. You didn't want them when Biden went in. And you could have said something, Democrats. And you could have released it all.

And, you know, it's funny. It is just so full of stuff about Donald Trump. Then why wouldn't they release just that?

Why wouldn't have the Democrats released anything in the Epstein file?

You're telling me, we've got to find something on them. Hey. I've got the Epstein files. Yeah, yeah. We've got to find something on it.

I have got some information here about Epstein. Him and Epstein, they were fooling around. Yeah, shut up for a second. Is there anything at all, that we can construe and manufacture about his banks?

I know!

He's got a vet signal between his bank and the Russian bank. I've got stuff about the Epstein.

Come on! If they had stuff about the Epstein, they would have gone to the stuff about the Epstein files.

They don't have anything, they don't have anything.

Now, let me speak directly to conservatives. They're not going to release anything about the Democrats, because they had the Epstein files.

Do you think that -- let's just say, I'm not even going to name names. Let's just say the most powerful people on the earth. The most powerful people with powerful connections, to government.

They knew their names were, you know, there on little, you know, guest books at the island, or whatever.

You don't think they called in some favors and said, "Hey, I need that -- can you remove that?"

You don't think that there were people that were like, "Hey. You know what, we'll remove that."

"We need $100 million from you, to help out on this campaign."

I mean, whatever it is, those names are gone too! They're gone! How do I know this?

Because the government is completely dishonest! That's how I know that.

But, anyway, now, Donald Trump.

STU: You don't think anything of interest would be in these files?

I mean, I think we've already seen some stuff of interest in the emails, no?

GLENN: Yeah, I think there are stuff of interest. I don't think there's going to be anyone at a very high level that is going to get -- that's going to be like, holy cow. Look, here's pictures with him with a 14-year-old girl!

That's not going to happen.

STU: Right. Somewhere that stuff, at least at the upper levels, not there.

Now, here's what is interesting: The timing of the release of a few documents last week. The Democrats released some documents.

And they released them, and at the same time, that Johnson were saying, by the way, we are going to expedite the releasing of everything.

So there's no reason to leak anything. But the Democrats decide to leak some stuff. They like a memo. And in that, oh, my gosh.

Look at what was said. What was said in that memo. Well, it was said, you know, the only dog that hasn't barked is Trump!

Well, what -- what did he mean by that?

He's keeping it quiet. All of these things. All of these innuendos and everything. Well, now we know, from the guy who wrote the book, all the president's meeting. Donald Trump and the making of a predator, that guy came out this weekend and said, no, no. That's not what he meant.

What did he mean?

In 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about JASE Medical.

Something I've noticed about the way Americans used to live. We didn't wait around for somebody else to fix our problems. We were the first responders.

We kept a little extra on hand. We learned the basics. We made sure families could get through whatever came our way. And today, that kind of common sense, that kind of personal responsibility makes you into a crazy crackpot revolutionary. Okay?

Fine!

Be that way. I am totally fine being a crackpot revolutionary, as long as my family is safe!

I believe strongly in what JASE Medical is doing.

I have been looking for a company to do this for a long time. They're the only company that ever answered the question with me, with my preparation.

What do we do about medical? What do we do, if there's a breakdown on anything? How do I get my medicine?

My children's medicine. I have two daughters that have seizures.

I -- they have to have their medicine.

What do we do?

You're traveling.

And you -- I forgot the medicine. You don't -- you ran out. Whatever it is.

Or somebody gets sick. And you need antibiotics. It's a pain in the butt. What do you do?

JASE. JASE Medical.

They have the JASE case. It's a safety net. Simple, responsible step, that makes sure you're not empty handed when life throws something big at you. Order your JASE case today.

It's all done by doctors. They talk to you. Get the medications that you need.

They have emergency antibiotics. Exactly how you use them. When to use them.

Promo code Beck is how you'll save.

B-E-C-K when you go to JASE.com.

JASE.com. All right. Ten seconds. And back to the program.
(music)

GLENN: So Barry Levine comes on. And he's on MSNBC this wreaked.

And he's asked, so tell me, I mean, we've seen this email between you and Epstein. What did he mean that the to go that hasn't barked is Trump. What do you think he's referring to?

Okay. What was he referring to?

I think Epstein is referring to the fact that he believed that Donald Trump talked to Michael rider who was the Palm Beach police chief in 2004. And began the first investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

So, in other words, he was the whistle-blower!

Yeah. But he's got all kinds of stuff in his -- in Jeffrey Epstein's books.

He's the whistle-blower!

The one thing you don't do is blow the whistle, when you know you got fingerprints all over the dead body. And the handgun that killed him!

You know what, I think you could find that hand gun, in this alleyway. Your fingerprints are on it. Man, why would you blow the whistle?

The suspect, he said, I suspected that Jeffrey Epstein was saying, he was 75 percent there.

Believing that Trump might have been the whistle-blower at the time. He believed it's 75 percent.

Now, how do you release something.

I mean, if you think things will be released. That will get Donald Trump. Why would you release that?

Where after two days of it being out, the guy who was part of that email, who hates Donald Trump, is like, yeah.

That's not what it means. It means he was whistle blower. Jeez.

STU: That is interesting. And I will say, you know, it is -- amazing that that's what they released. And chose to release.

That's the same email, by the way, that you're mentioning. That they blacked out the name of Virginia Giuffre, which they did intentionally. Because she has said that he was nothing, but respectful. And was never with any of the girls at all.

In not only her book, but also in testimony, under oath.

And the other one, that they released, which said, Trump -- he says, of course, he knew about the girls, was the other big one that they released. Which they left the -- well, they didn't leave it out. They just hoped you didn't focus on the next part of the sentence, which he says, that of course, he knew about the girls, as he asked Ghislaine to stop. Which would indicate, even if he was aware of this, which I don't think this had anything to do with the sex stuff. I think this was about him taking them.

GLENN: No. It was about poaching his girls from Mar-a-Lago.

STU: Right.

GLENN: The employees. He knows that we're poaching these girls. It doesn't mean he knows what they're doing with them. Stop taking my employees!

Okay. Now, if you suspect he's the whistle-blower and he knew you were taking employees from him, you know, in retrospect, you know, looking at it later, you go, oh, man, he's the whistle-blower?

But he also knows about the girls.

He knows we were taking them.

Does he know what we were doing with the girls?

I mean, this does not hurt Donald Trump. It helps Donald Trump.

STU: What about the one they released from Jeffrey Epstein. Where he said, I've met some very bad people, and none are as bad as Trump.

I mean, what if they come up with bad comments from Jeffrey Dahmer about Donald Trump? What will you say then? I mean, this is so dumb.

GLENN: I've eaten some bad eggs in my life, but I would not eat Donald Trump. I'll tell you that right now.

GLENN: I've got somebody on, who is in just an amazing, amazing show from Amazon. House of David. If you haven't seen House of David yet, you have to. Do you remember when-like biblical movies. I mean, they were good in the '50s. And then they got really, really bad.

And then all through the '70s and '80s and 2000s. They were horrible.

And then all of a sudden, they got really, really good?

This someone amazing. This is as good as the Jesus. What is the Jesus one?

Chosen.

It's called House of David. It's on Amazon, and we have the guy who portrays David. Michael Iskander on with us.

Michael, how are you?

MICHAEL: I'm good. What an introduction. Thank you for that!

GLENN: I mean, it's really.

Come on. Was there any time, that you thought, oh, man. This might -- I hope they do it right!

And then you saw the finished product, and you were like, wow! This is good?

MICHAEL: Yeah. That was -- you know, I try to keep my head down, and, you know, it's -- it's not finished until it's finished.

And season two is coming out. You know, I'm just going to be hearing the response of how this show is really affecting people.

GLENN: So can I talk to you about Goliath?

Because Goliath is portrayed really as a giant. Not just a big guy. He's a giant.

MICHAEL: Yeah.

GLENN: Talk to me about that.

MICHAEL: Well, I'll tell you what, when I first met Martin.

He was -- I went to -- I went to the gym with him one time.

And I -- I knew, I'm going to get, you know, my stuff. So I was prepared for that.

And -- and he made me workout for two and a half hours. And I thought that the workout was done. And he was like, no. There's another half. And, man, he -- Martin is a really dedicated man. And he just -- he pushed me to the edge, when it came to working out.

And, you know, when it comes to his role with Goliath. He's someone that really just put all the effort, both physically and emotionally to really portray that part, as best as he can.

GLENN: How long did it take you to learn the slingshot?

MICHAEL: Three days. It wasn't too bad.

GLENN: Well, I heard you had problem with the sheep.

That the sheep were -- they were not helpful.

MICHAEL: The sheep -- well, the sheep were actually really interesting.

I remember when we first started filming, they -- they put me in sheep training classes.

Because when I get on tape. They have to make sure, that I'm not -- you know, I'm not going to get attacked by one of the sheep. And I'm comfortable around them.

The sheep. First day I show up to this training, and she painted me. And you would think that the guy who plays David, you know, would think of his sheep.

GLENN: No. I don't. I don't. I don't think that's natural. You're an actor. I don't know if that's -- yep, well, they picked me because I'm good with sheep.

MICHAEL: I should get classes from you.

GLENN: I don't know.

MICHAEL: But, no. I mean, it really -- spent a lot of time with the Shepherd.
And he was giving me some really amazing lessons.
He saw that I was having trouble.

And he said, you know, you should stick next to me. Because this sheep, when they see you with the shepherd, they'll know that you're with me.
So they'll never leave my side.

GLENN: It's amazing.

MICHAEL: I want you to spend a lot of time with me. And I he said, oh, okay. And he said, I want you to know another thing: A bad shepherd is a shepherd who is behind the flock. And so you, you're going to be a good shepherd. You're going to show them. You're not going to let them lead you.

You're going to lead them, and you're going to be in the front taking risks and showing them the path.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

MICHAEL: And he is saying this, I think -- I think I'm getting more than just a sheep lesson here. It really helped in terms of understanding who David was as a person. And then his relationship to Christ.

And why -- why David was chosen as king.

GLENN: Is it true that you fasted, before the audition? I mean, you're a Broadway guy.

MICHAEL: Yeah. Yeah. I sent in the first audition. I was really excited about it.

And it was a dream of mine for a long time. You know, one of these dreams, that you don't tell anyone. And you don't think it will ever happen.

GLENN: To play David specifically? Or to be --

MICHAEL: Yeah, to play David. To play David.

GLENN: Really?

MICHAEL: And because I was inspired by the Chosen.

And I wanted to maybe do flashback scenes with a young David, or something.

When I got the audition, and they originally said no. I thought, oh, that would have been a good opportunity.

GLENN: Hmm.

MICHAEL: And I got another audition. I called my mom. And I said, Mom, this doesn't happen often. Can you believe it? She said, Michael, calm down.

The one thing I need you to do. I need you to fast, and I need you to pray.

I said, yes, ma'am.

A week later, I was having lunch with Jon Erwin. And he -- it kind of took off from there.

But, yeah, fasting and prayer.

GLENN: You know, I'm friends with.
I went to school with Jim Caviezel. And I can't remember what grade he was in. Maybe fifth grade, I think. But he went into church, and all by himself.

And he prayed, and he made a pact with God. Let me -- all I want, Lord, is to play you in a movie some day, and I will live my life honorably to be able to be ready, but I want to play you.

And so he told me when Mel called, he was like, yeah, I've been waiting for the call. It's an amazing thing.

MICHAEL: Wow. I didn't know that story. That's beautiful.

GLENN: Yeah. What do you think it is about the story about -- this was the number one show -- number one series on -- on Amazon -- on Amazon Prime this year.

What is it about the series that you think is connecting?

MICHAEL: You know, I -- I think it's different for everybody.

But I'll tell you for me.

The reason why this show means a lot to me, is because, David points us to Christ.

And -- and David is -- is a person.

He to me, is the embodiment to what it means to be human.

And to make mistakes. And find forgiveness.

It's a complex, long story.

But he was a man that -- that -- he's known as the man after God's own heart.

So for people to see that example. To see, to see the man that God loved so much, that Jesus himself was -- son of David.

I think that's what -- they see the Holy Spirit in the show. I mean, that's what I see.
And that's who I do it for.

GLENN: It's -- it's -- it's amazing to me, how -- with the exception of one, the Bible -- every single hero is so deeply flawed.

And David is so good, so good, and then, you know, becomes really, really does one of the worst things I think I've ever read in the Bible. I mean, just really bad.

MICHAEL: Yeah.

GLENN: Are you going to play -- do you have any idea, assuming the ratings are there, how long of the story you're going to tell?

MICHAEL: I really don't know. I mean, we're just trying to get to season two right now in the release.

Hopefully, pray for us, that we can get to season three, and we can keep telling the story.

I don't know what Erwin and Gunn have. What they're picking up. But I pray that we tell as much of the story as possible. I think it's important to see both the good and the bad. Like you said, to see this flawed human being, to see someone make mistakes, and to see them get back up and repent.

And ask for forgiveness. And find grace in God. So we'll see!

Pray for us.

GLENN: You -- I read some place that you were a Broadway guy. And I thought, this career is not over yet.

I mean, are you prepared to always be David?

I mean, the guy who is playing Jesus now. Jim Caviezel said, it took years before he was allowed to play anything else.

And I can't remember the guy who was playing Jesus his whole life. He is Jesus to a lot of people. Are you prepared to this be you for the rest of your life now?

And not, you know, going -- going back and doing other things, if that's the way it is?

MICHAEL: You know what, God has taken me through so much in my life, that I'm sure he's going to get me through this.

And if I'm known as the guy who plays David, I think it's actually a blessing. And I don't know what God has in store, but I trust him.

GLENN: Yeah.

MICHAEL: When that time comes, I will worry about it then. But nor for now, I'm having a great time portraying one of my favorite people.

GLENN: I just have to ask you a personal question. One for me. My daughter wants to be on Broadway. Can you talk her out of it in 30 seconds, please?

MICHAEL: Oh, man, I don't know if I want to talk her out of it.

GLENN: Okay. Well, time for you to go now.
(laughter)
Michael, thank you so much, and we're looking forward -- when does it premiere? Is it this weekend? Is it out?

MICHAEL: Well, episode eight is out on Warner Project on Prime this Sunday. Yeah.

GLENN: Okay. Good. Good.

Well, we'll be watching. Thank you so much, Michael. I appreciate it.
MICHAEL: Thank you so much, Glenn. Have a good one. Take care.
GLENN: You bet. If you haven't seen the first season, you really should see it.

It's really, really good. It's one of those that I started watching, you know.

And I stopped because I was like, wait.

Tania, we should watch this together. And she came home. And so we started watching it, and I think we watched the whole season in one weekend.

It's one of those. It's really good. Season two premieres this Sunday.
