Is THIS why Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘friends’ remain HIDDEN?

Newly released emails allegedly show that a former JP Morgan executive discussed specific Disney characters — like Snow White and Beauty and the Beast — with Jeffrey Epstein, who may have ‘shared photographs of young women with the banker,’ Reuters reports. But this ex-JPM executive is FAR from the only powerful American to have potential ties with Epstein. In fact, Bill Gates was photographed with him as well — despite Gates repeatedly telling the media they were not friends. But why haven’t those involved with Epstein been exposed? Why are some of America’s most powerful people seemingly getting away with potentially the most heinous type of crime possible? It may not be because of their money or elite status, Glenn says. In fact, in this clip, Glenn reveals HIS theory as to why Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘friends’ STILL remain hidden…

GLENN: Okay. So let me start with this story. And I'm going to tie it to -- I'm going to tie it to Ukraine, to Ohio. The entire mess.

We have a story that came out yesterday. Former JPMorgan executive, Jes Staley discussed Disney princesses with Jeffrey Epstein in July 2010 in an email exchange. Now, this is coming because there's a lawsuit in a court filing by the US Virgin Islands attorney general.

And the acting attorney general.

Wasn't this attorney general the one that filed the suit, and then was fired, and so they replaced it with another attorney general.

So that shows you corruption, just right there.

Okay?

So the change in the email, was about the young women and girls, procured by Epstein, for the former JP Morgan Chase executive. okay?

He went to his properties. Epstein's properties in the Virgin Islands. They were discussing the women and young girls procured. And they used the names of Disney princesses.

And at one point, Epstein was like, hey. Next time, which princess?

And he was like, hey. Check out snow white. I think it's snow white, okay?

They were sending explicit photos to each other, and everything else.

Now, this guy is very well known. Epstein, very well-known.

He's friends with Epstein.

We know about their relationship.

Just like we know about the relationship with Microsoft founder and the guy who is currently redesigning our world and our health, Bill Gates.

We know that Bill Gates, his wife, one of the reasons why he -- his wife left him. Apparently, is because, he would not distance himself from Epstein.

Now, there are pictures of this JP Morgan Chase executive on the island, with Epstein. And Bill Gates.

Now, are you telling me, they flew down to the island, and snow white and the other princesses were paraded around for the JPMorgan -- JP Morgan Chase executive, and Epstein was doing the parading with the girls?

And where was Bill Gates?

He was working on software?

Because there's pills for that now, Bill.

You can take that, and the software and hardware. They become one again.

STU: Once again, sponsored by Pfizer.

GLENN: It is -- Pfizer. Pfizer!

It -- it is incomprehensible, that we do not know who these Johns were. And let me say it this way: If that little black book of Epstein's contained only the names of truck drivers, conservative -- you know, commentators. And diner restaurant owners. Do you think any of those names would not be known today?

STU: We have a good example of this recently, with Matt Gaetz. Who they accused of all sorts of things. And went through all the investigations.

And did not find anything to charge him with.

GLENN: Right. Right. So they'll charge anything. They'll do anything to smear you. Okay?

STU: It was named. Every accusation was out of the table, immediately.

GLENN: So we don't know. We don't know the facts that they know. And we're never going to know.

We're never going to know.

But I'm telling you, if they were all, you know, people that were in red states, all those names would be known. One guy would be like, I fixed the furnace.

I'm only in his little black book, because the furnace has problems. And when it goes down, I go through a basement door that only leads to the furnace room. And when I fix the furnace, I have nothing to do with it.

He would be known as a pedophile.

But the -- the wealthy, the connected, they can get away with child rape. And somehow or another, no one seems to care.

Why?

Because you don't know. That's a conspiracy theory. You don't know who these people are. You don't know what building.

Well, no one is looking into it. And that causes one to go, why?

Why?

Because if we knew it was somebody that nobody knew in a red state, they would be smeared, if not in prison today. And if they were -- if they had done something with children, they should be in prison.

So why isn't this happening?

I don't think it's just to protect the elite.

I really don't.

I don't think that it is just because Bill Gates and Bill Clinton were flying on his plane in a totally innocent way.

I don't think that's what it is. I think that's part of it. But I think the real target, is the intelligence apparatus of America.

I believe that Jeffrey Epstein -- this guy doesn't go from nobody to where he was. Connected with so many powerful people.

Doing this kind of stuff, believe me.

If I'm in your home, you're flying me on your jet. To your island. Where I'm spending a week.

I have the security that checks them out, six ways to Sunday.

I know whose house I'm going to, if I'm staying for a week. I know.

And I get a briefing, before I decide to book it on the calendar. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Soft book that. But leave room for an excuse.

And security is looking at them, getting all the information. Then they come to me and say, okay. These are the rumors. This is what's happening.

This is what we think, might be happening. We recommend, you don't go.

But it's up to you, sir.

And then it is up to me. You're telling me that Bill Gates doesn't have security like that?

That could look deeper than Glenn Beck's security could?

Are you telling me, that all of these people, President Clinton with Secret Service detail, they didn't know anything about what was going on in that island?

Bullcrap, you'll never convince me of that. Never.

And I know. Because I live in that world, just on the edges of it. Of having Intel, that the average person doesn't have. I don't have their clearance, or their -- their access to information.

I barely have anything.

STU: Right. I keep hearing the pool guy, who works on this island. You'll be excused for potentially not knowing everything that's going on.

You're Bill Gates. You'll have a really good idea.

GLENN: You know. You know.

Or at least you have been severely warned. And then, when that person does go to jail, the first time, you immediately go, okay. Guys, you were right. I'm out. I'm out. Okay?

STU: Right.

GLENN: So what is this Epstein thing. Who are they really protecting?

Because I no longer believe that it is just the people like Clinton.

I think they're protecting -- I don't know. CIA? NSA?

I think this guy was a government operative, operating honey traps.

And if you think that doesn't happen, that happens in the spy world, all the time.

All the time. That's how they get leverage over people.

And I have experience with that as well.

I have -- thank God, been in a position to where, this has happened. And thank God, I was living the principles of what I truly believe. Otherwise, I would have been done.

I would have been an enemy to this state.

I was at Fox, and people were going through my garbage. You know, investigating.

And I had been investigated before.

The first time -- well, I won't say who was doing it -- first time, it was on the left.

Okay?

And I -- I know the company, that was doing the investigation.

They're the big lefty company.

Okay?

And they search everything. They look for anything, okay?

Thank God I was clean, and anything that I had ever done wrong, I had confessed to you, a long time ago. I was like, I was a dirtbag. Hey. And I'm a recovering dirtbag, and I'm trying to be better. So I had no fear.

They're going through my garbage. They're going through all kinds of stuff. And I'm like, what the -- what do they think they're going to find?

My wife and I actually laughed about it.

STU: You're very boring. The best thing they could find, was an old historic document you had thrown out by mistake.

GLENN: I am extraordinarily boring. So then I'm at Fox. And the event at the mall happens, with -- in Washington, DC.

500,000 people showed up. Rupert Murdoch called me into his office. What are your intentions? What are you going to do with all this power?

I'm like, what are you talking about? Are you running for president? No, I'm not running for president. You're running for president. No, I'm not running for president. I don't want that. Okay?

I just ask people to gather, just to bring hope to the country. They didn't believe me.

Somebody starts investigating me again. And they go through my garbage. All of it.same group of people, different employer. You draw your own conclusions.

In -- in a meeting, that I had about two months later, I knew they had nothing. Because I don't have anything.

I'm boring.

And I sit down at a desk. And Roger Ailes pulls out a stack, at least a foot. A stack of papers and folders.

And puts it -- I come in, and he said, you know, we've got to have a serious talk. I said, okay.

And he comes down, he puts a stack of papers on his desk. All in folders. And then he kind of pets it like a little kitty cat. And he says, you know, a lot of people would like to see you pulled down.

I said, I know.

He said, and there's a lot of people that will do anything to get information on you.

I said, I know. Good thing, I'm really boring.

And he said, well, and then he petted the little file. Well, you know, Glenn. It's always a horrible thing, when a man has a wife like you have.

Now, I am just on fire! The hair is standing up on the back of my neck. And I lean in and grab the edge of his desk, and I said, why is that always trouble?

And he said, well, because a man will step out and do something. And it's -- you know, it's human nature.

And it can really hurt a good woman like that. And I looked at him straight in the eye, and with all the calmness that I could muster, I said, it sure is, Mr. Ailes. And that is exactly why nothing like that has ever happened.

And then we had like a third grade staredown for -- it had to be at least a minute. It felt like an hour. It had to be at least a minute. Where his eyes didn't move. My eyes didn't move. And I know the first person who speaks loses. And I wouldn't speak. I had already said the truth. And I stared at him across the desk behind those papers.

Yeah. I know. And he picked up the papers and put them down by the side of his desk. And he said, just be careful.

I've lived in this world, on the very edge. I'm not even into the cheese part of the cheesy crust part of the pizza.

I'm at the very, very edge of the crust of living in that world.

This is not building exposed, because this guy most likely was an operative.

And, oh, that's a conspiracy theory.

Yes. So was that the CIA knew about or were involved with Lee Harvey Oswald.

Which, gang, they kept saying was a conspiracy theory, until this year!

Did you hear that announcement?

The CIA had Lee Harvey Oswald on their books. He was an operative. Now, that doesn't mean they killed him. But they were using him.

They knew about him. He was current. He was not like, oh, we used him ten years ago.

He was currently an operative.

And they covered that up. What do you think these agencies were made for? To go get our enemies. But they're not being used to get our enemies anymore. Because the Deep State defines who an enemy is now!

It used to be an enemy was someone who would not protect and defend the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. That is no longer our enemy.

It remains my enemy.

Did USAID Really Fund Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding? Here's the FACTS

As DOGE continues to expose the many, many ways our government has wasted taxpayer dollars, Glenn gives a warning: “You have to be really careful [what you believe] because we don’t want to wreck our credibility.” While the things DOGE has uncovered have been true, there are also a lot of rumors and misinformation spreading online. Glenn addresses some of those rumors, like the seemingly-unfounded claim that USAID helped fund Chelsea Clinton’s wedding through the Clinton Foundation. We must ask questions, but we can’t jump to conclusions without being sure that we have the real facts. Glenn also addresses some provably true stories of government waste, like how the Pentagon overpays for things and why Glenn supports Trump’s decision to stop minting pennies.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Looking at the DOGE stuff, and I want to talk about this next hour.

We have to be really, really careful. Because I don't know about you, but when I heard that we possibly paid for Chelsea Clinton's wedding.

PAT: Yeah. Do we have that substantiated though?

GLENN: We don't. We don't.

And that's why I want to bring that up.

PAT: You have to be careful with that stuff. A ton.

STU: A lot of stuff coming out online.

And you can't quote this stuff. You have to be really, really careful.

Because we just don't want to, A, wreck our credibility.

And, you know, when we find out that it is absolutely true, that's when we can go and say, round them up!

Let's put them court.

PAT: Yeah. Yeah. There's -- there's a viral chart going around that shows Chelsea Clinton got, I don't know. Something like $84 million from the foundation from the Clinton foundation.

And that 3 million of that went to her wedding.

GLENN: Okay. So I think -- I think they did get $84 million.

PAT: I think that went to the foundation, right?

GLENN: Yeah. It went to the foundation.

Got it for the whole run. For Haiti or whatever.

And, you know, we know they spent $84 million in Haiti.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Because look at the place now.

Oh, it's beautiful he has not it's beautiful.

PAT: Well, we were there, how many years after the earthquake.

And it still looked the same. As if the earthquake had just happened. You remember that?

GLENN: Oh, yeah. And the people from Haiti were saying to us, where is the money?

PAT: Where is the $10 billion? Yeah. Because that could have rebuilt. That could have rebuilt the entire country. 10 billion.

GLENN: About four times. About four times over, I think.

PAT: Yep. Yep.

GLENN: I mean, it is -- Haiti is just -- it's a sad, sad situation.

It's been ripped off by everybody in the world over and over again.

And I think the Clintons are, you know, they kind of lead the way on the -- on the charity for Haiti graft.

PAT: Yeah.

STU: But we don't know anything about that. We do know the Clinton initiative got $84 million.

But we don't know any more than that.

And, you know, honestly, if you're spending your tax dollars, I mean, that's what people have to realize.

Even if it is, you know -- even if it is -- it didn't go to Chelsea's wedding.

Which I would be surprised.

I would be shocked, if they were that bold!

PAT: Yeah.

STU: But, you know, this isn't an effective use of your money.

And people who are looking at it, and saying, well, it was only $5 million.

How much money have you paid your entire life in taxes?

Because I guarantee you, it's not going to be $5 million.

It's not! Very few people to have pay $5 million in their lifetime of taxes.

So that means, that everything that you paid. Everything that you worked for. When you work four months a year, to pay your income tax.

All of that has been wasted, your entire life.

I don't know!

I'm kind of pissed about that.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: I mean, what could you have done with all of that money?

And I -- I just don't -- I don't get people who are, you know, again, like we said, I'm for aid.

I'm absolutely for aid. I'm absolutely for looking at countries, and saying, how can we help you, if it's in our interest, and that's not aid.

That would be development. But I'm not for most of the development that has been happening. I'm not interested in nation building!

You know, so, you know, even if you're for that, are you cool with it going 60 cents on every dollar? To the government officials?

Or to the charitable officials. And only 40 cents of that dollar?

I mean, I'm not happy with that. We've gotten so used to corruption, in our government, on, you know, the Pentagon spent $400 on, you know -- on a toilet seat.

We're so used to that. That we just expect it.

This is not that.

The corruption that we're finding now, is beyond imagination.

It's going to be hard for people to get their arms around, what you're actually looking at.

Because we expect a certain amount of -- unfortunately, a certain amount of corruption.

But nothing like this!

And if you're -- you know, if you are a Democrat and you're inclined, not to believe it.

Okay!

I can understand that.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, for a while.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. And say, I probably would have been skeptical, if Joe Biden -- I would have been skeptical if Joe Biden would have come in and said, we will route out all of the corruption.

I would have thought, well, no.

They're getting rid of anybody who is conservative on corruption.

That's why I'm so excited about the Pentagon because that's going to be a lot of conservative love.

You know what I mean?

So called conservative love. It's just graft and greed and cronyism.

But still, it -- it's -- we're supposed to be in love.

The left is supposed to be in love with aid.

We're supposed to be in love with death. I'm not -- I -- I am not blind to either one of those things.

But go into the Pentagon. I would love to see them take.

At you see the congressman or the senator last week, that held up a bag of bolts, and said, this is about $10 at the store?

It's $10,000, if the Pentagon buys it!

PAT: Jeez.

STU: Where is that money going?

PAT: Incredible.

GLENN: Who is getting that money?
And, you know, you would say, well, they're charging ten thousands of individuals dollars a bolt, because, you know, the aircrafts that they're building.

They're so expensive.

And they can't actually charge the price of what it takes.

No, they're charging us the price with all of the overruns.

All of the hundreds of billions of dollars in overruns.

They're charging us that as well.

So my question is: Where do those billions of dollars end up?

In just the pockets of, what? McDonnell-Douglas?

PAT: Raytheon?

GLENN: Raytheon.

PAT: Congress people?

GLENN: Right!

PAT: You know, a lot. A lot of it -- you know it's winding up in their pocketbooks. Has to be.

GLENN: And you know what really bothers me is, these people are taking our tax dollars. And then they're giving that money, through lobbying. To our politicians. Who are allowing the corruption to happen.

So it's just this giant circular -- I'm just going to leave it at that.

This giant circular, something.

I don't -- I don't know what happens in circles.

But there it is.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: By the way, the other thing that Trump said, first of all, he's getting rid of pennies.

Did you hear that?

Executive order. Thank you!

I mean, you know, takes 3 cents to create 1 cent. What are we doing?

That's the dims thing I've ever, ever seen.

PAT: Yes. Especially when nobody wants pennies. Nobody uses them.

If you ever use cash. And you get pennies back.

You just put it in their take a penny jar, usually.

And don't even want it messing up your pocket.

GLENN: Right. I mean, it's absolutely worthless to the American people.

And it's costing our government 3 cents to make 1 cent.

Finally, the president is -- I mean, all of this stuff is so common sense. That's what's so frustrating about all of this.

Should had it should have been done long ago.

But for some reason, we just couldn't. We've known about the penny thing.

I've known about the penny thing, when it was a cent and a half to make a penny.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: That long ago.

PAT: He's -- he's leaving no stone unturned right now.

You've got the penny thing.

And then he just did the straw situation.

Did you see that?

We're going back to plastic straws.

He signed an executive order, or he is going to. Ending the ridiculous Biden push for paper straws, which don't work. Back to plastic, he tweeted out! Or truthed out.

GLENN: I love that.

PAT: It's just -- it's amazing the things that he's covering, at a breathtaking speed.

GLENN: I love that.

Do we have the CBS anchor trying to explain how Trump's approval ratings are going through the roof? Listen to this. Cut ten.

VOICE: What's driving this?

VOICE: I will keep it simple, Margaret. He's doing what he said he would do in the campaign. There's political value in that. In fact, 70 percent of people say he's doing what he's promised. That's whether they approve of him or not.

Now, there's another part of this that continues over from the campaign. There are words he was described as being tough. Being energetic.

And he still is today, in big majority numbers.

So as people take a look in these first few weeks, there's been a lot of activity. They're getting that general sense of governance. And that's being reflected in these early numbers.

VOICE: So that's perception. What about the actual policies?

VOICE: Well, let's start with the ones that are popular.

Again, these echo the ones we see in the campaign. The idea of deporting those in the country illegally continues to be popular. We saw that in the campaign.

GLENN: 59 percent.

VOICE: Sending troops to the US-Mexico border. Again, majority --

GLENN: 64 percent.

PAT: Wow! Wow.

GLENN: I mean, it is -- and they're just baffled by it. I don't understand. No. Really.

Trump Border Czar WARNS Cartels, Illegal Immigrants, & Anti-ICE Politicians

White House Border Czar Tom Homan joins Glenn with the latest updates to the illegal immigration crackdown. He lays out why he took the job, how the deportations are going so far, and what’s coming next. Homan also explains why he’s “very concerned” about violent threats from the cartels. But he has a warning for them: “If they harm a SINGLE Border Patrol agent or soldier, President Trump is gonna rain hell down on them and I think he'll wipe them off the face of the earth." Plus, Homan has a message for anti-ICE politicians in sanctuary cities: "[Pam Bondi] will have NO PROBLEM if I recommend prosecution of a politician for impeding or knowingly harboring and concealing an illegal alien.”

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

From Reality TV to Deadly Rescue Missions | Diesel Brothers | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 244

When the State or National Guard can’t complete a rescue mission, it’s time to call the Diesel Brothers. “Heavy D” (‪@HeavyDSparks‬) and “Diesel Dave” rose to fame thanks in part to a prank that landed them on Jay Leno's show and then the Discovery Channel. But now they've found a much more meaningful passion. The Diesel Brothers have since carried out multiple rescue missions to recover crashed airplanes and missing persons, making use of their most impressive vehicles. These include Heavy D’s Black Hawk helicopter, which they say leaves the FAA asking, “Who are these guys and how do we know they aren’t going to kill themselves?” In a conversation about trucks, fame, and “rolling coal,” the two men outline their ongoing legal battles with an environmental group in Utah and give their take on the rise of electric vehicles. Heavy D, who has met the president himself, tells Glenn that “Trump has an authentic admiration of Glenn” because he is “legit,” and the three men applaud Trump for not taking on a “God complex” after the assassination attempt. In the end, the two put Glenn in the hot seat, asking him to name the one person — alive or deceased — that he would most want to have dinner with.

How Trump’s 15% Tax Plan Could UNLEASH American Prosperity

President Trump is working on a plan to lower corporate tax rates to 15% for companies that make their products in the United States. Informal Trump economic advisor and Committee to Unleash Prosperity co-founder Stephen Moore joins Glenn to make the case that this plan, coupled with tariffs, could unleash American prosperity. But Trump might not stop there. Moore addresses whether Trump could get a “15/15/15” tax plan past Congress, meaning 15% corporate tax, 15% income tax, and 15% tariffs. “If he could pull that off,” Glenn argues, “it’s a new world!”

GLENN: Stephen Moore, welcome to the program. Committee to unleash prosperity cofounder.

If I remember right, you've been with me against tariffs for a long time. Have you changed on this?

Because I think I'm changing, Steven.

STEPHEN: Hey, Glenn, good to be with you. Also, I'm an informal adviser to Trump on the economy. And, by the way, he knows that I'm not a huge fan of tariffs. But you set this up very well.

You know, a tariff is basically a consumption tax.

GLENN: Oh, good. Correct.

STEPHEN: It's something you and I talked about over the years is the national retail sales tax replace the income tax. Well, if you did that, you would essentially be taxing everything when it came in to the country.

Because it will be consumed here. And so what Trump is basically talking about, which I think is a really interesting idea, is not necessarily getting rid of the income tax. But lowering all the tax rates to 15 percent. You know, right now, you know, it's 30 percent or more. And then imposing that --

GLENN: I was going to say, what kind of world do you live in? I would celebrate with 30 percent income tax.

STEPHEN: Yeah. Right. If you're really rich, you could be uphill by 40 percent.

So I kind of like that idea. So I go with Trump the other day.

To say, the 15-15-15. So how about we have a 15 percent corporate rate, a 15 percent individual income tax rate, a 15 percent universal tariff, 15 percent capital gains/dividends.

Can you imagine that?

GLENN: It would unleash prosperity like nobody's business.

STEPHEN: Prosperity. Yeah. It would.

No country could compete with us here. Let me give you an example, you know, Glenn, that I think everybody can relate to because you have listeners all over the country.

You know what states in the United States have the biggest in migration right now?

GLENN: Yeah. Florida and Texas.

STEPHEN: And Tennessee.

GLENN: Okay.

STEPHEN: Now, for a bonus question, I know you're supposed to be asking questions. What you know those states have in common?

GLENN: No income tax.

STEPHEN: No income tax. So businesses, capital, and jobs, migrate to the places with low tax rates. So if we have the lowest tax rates in the world, on top of the greatest workers in the world, the freest country in the world, I mean, we would just blow away the rest of the world. And Trump is very -- I don't know. You know, it will be tough to get that done. But that's where he wants to end up.

GLENN: I tell you, that's the problem we've always had with tariffs, for me at least. It's just a tax, and you're already taxing us.

STEPHEN: Right.

GLENN: Well, then buy American, and then you don't to have pay for that tariff.

But I'm are already being taxed a pretty high rate.

Please, I don't want to pay more for things that maybe I want. Or maybe they're cheaper.

Because they're coming from China.

STEPHEN: Yeah. This is a good conversation for people who have this.

Trump said different things at different times.

In my conversation in the last week. It basically was saying, he put it very simply.

He said this to some of the speeches too. What he wants to do is charge a 15 percent tax on things that are made in China. Or, you know, Europe.

GLENN: Right.

STEPHEN: Or Japan.

But if it's made in Michigan or Ohio or Pennsylvania or California or Maine, he wants to have the rate 15 percent.

I'm like, well, I can live with that, Mr. President. I think that's a pretty cool idea.

I mean, I'm an America First guy. I'd rather have people buy things that are made in America, all things equal.

GLENN: Wait. Wait. Wait.

You just said, if it's from China, you're paying 15 percent tariff. But if it's made in America, you say you pay an extra 15 percent. That's zero!

STEPHEN: No. What I'm saying, you're going to pay a 15 percent income tax, if it's made in the United States. In other words, the profits you make on selling something. Let's say you make widgets. And you make a profit in making widget does in Pennsylvania and wherever it is.

GLENN: Right. But to buy that product, if it's made in America, you don't pay any tax!

STEPHEN: No, no, no.

In other words, what you're trying to do is skew the table a little bit more in favor of buying things in the US versus other countries. By the way, that's what other countries do to us.

GLENN: I know. I know.

I have to tell you, I think the way the president is handling really, everything.

I've never seen anything like this, Steven. Have you?

STEPHEN: Me either. No. I've been in the game as long as you have. I have arrived in Washington in the Reagan years.

So I still think Reagan was one of our greatest presidents. I still think Trump, it's interesting. Because whenever we have meetings, with Trump, he's always talking about -- he's very kind of envious. He wants to go down in history, as one of the great presidents like Reagan. To role model that out.

So I think, I think we're -- and he also will understand, Glenn, he's only got really about two years to get it done.

And then we will -- he's a lame duck. He can't run for reelection again. He understands that. That's why he races out of the gate like sectator out of the office.

I think I said on your show a month ago, or so. Buckle up. Because this will be a hell of a ride. And it's only been three weeks.

GLENN: I know. Seven days. And I think he's accomplished more than most presidents have done in their entire term.

STEPHEN: Definitely. Definitely.

GLENN: And I don't think it will stop any time soon.

Because I said, you've got only two years to do this. He said, Glenn, two years. I've got 100 days.

If I don't have all this done in 100 days. It's not going to get done.

STEPHEN: There's a lot of truth to that. There's a lot of truth to that. That's why we have to get this tax cut done.

That's one of my highest priorities is making sure we make the tax cuts that we cashed in 2017 permanent. I want to make sure your listeners understand something.

I think most of your listeners know this. But a lot of people are not aware of it.

If Congress does nothing, everybody's taxes are going to go up next year. Everyone's. You know, we don't want Donald Trump raising taxes on people.

And so we have to get this tax cut done. I like his idea of no tax on tips. I like the idea of no tax on overtime. We'll add some other things on it.

But these are all oriented toward making an American economy great again. And it's going to work!

GLENN: So why aren't we going for 15-15-15, over doing -- you know, making this permanent, why not in just one move try to go for the whole enchilada?

STEPHEN: Well, stick around, my friend, it may happen. We'll see how it turns out.

At the very minimum, we have to make those taxes permanent.

But we may go further than that. We may go with 15-15-15, and that would be a remarkable accomplishment.

And then we will produce American energy. He's already slashed the regulation clause.

So it will make America incredibly competitive.

And the jobs are going to flow here, not in China and Japan, and all the other countries. It's a beautiful thing.

GLENN: We not only have to grow our bottom line, grow our way out of this. Which we can. But we also must cut. It will take I think 65 years at this point. At the speed of DOGE.

And they're cutting like crazy, to actually balance the budget.

Are we going to be able to cut enough?

Is there an appetite for that?

STEPHEN: Well, as I said, I've been in this town for 40 years. And Republicans talk a good game. But when it comes right down to it, we like to spend money just as much as Democrats do. I think, how about what Trump is talking about. About getting rid of all this crazy foreign aid programs. I mean, the left is hyperventilating about this. But those programs never work.

They don't -- they don't need any development. They just create a huge international bureaucracy of people who hate America.

I mean, this guy has -- has a spine of steel. I mean, he really does.

GLENN: He really does. He really does.

Steven, thank you so much. God bless you.

Keep us informed, will you?

STEPHEN: Check in more often.

GLENN: Yeah. I will. I will.

Thank you very much.

Stephen Moore, Committee to Unleash Prosperity.

I have to tell you, I think if he did 15-15-15, it would explode.

PAT: Which is 15 percent flat income tax. Fifteen percent corporate?

GLENN: Corporate. And 15 percent tariff.

PAT: Tariff. Wow.

GLENN: So you don't make it in America. You know how many people -- what's the company that bought Ford and Jaguar and everything?

Stellantis?

Can't remember the name of that company.
But they're now talking about coming back to America. Because of the tariffs. They're going to make the Jeep back in Detroit. They've already moved 1500 jobs back to a factory here in America. They're going to move them also back to Detroit. To make the Jeep back in America. That's what happens.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: If you have a tariff and you have 15 percent tax! This is why -- you know, it's fascinating. This is why, when we were headed towards that global government, this is why the president and all the leaders of the West, tried to get an agreement that there would be a minimum corporate tax. Do you remember that?

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And we were a part of that. A minimum corporate tax. No! No.

We're not going to play -- we're not going to hobble everybody.

If we can work it to our advantage, so we grow, why would we hobble ourselves?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And 15-15-15 would blow the world away. Blow it away.

PAT: Because far more competitive than any other industrialized nation.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

The jobs that would be created here.

You would get more money into the coffers of the United States government, because the prosperity would be so high! It would be amazing.

PAT: Yeah.

And to replace the progressive income tax with just a 15 percent flat tax. That -- that would make such a huge difference in American's lives.

GLENN: Think of just this. If we had a flat tax, think of how many dollars are wasted on IRS audits. How many -- how much time is wasted at places like H&R Block.

Your accountant. How much time you spend putting your taxes. Getting the receipts. Figuring it all out.

PAT: My gosh.

GLENN: Think of just the man-hours. Forget about the money that's being lost in preparing it! Just the man-hours.

If you had those man-hours back, what could we be doing with that money and those man-hours?

Just that is game-changing and growing the economy.

Because you have more money, to keep!

And more time to do what you want to do!

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: I'm telling you, if he can do 15-15-15, if he can pull that off, it's a new world.

PAT: And Stephen Moore said, it's a possibility. That's pretty amazing!

GLENN: That is amazing. That is amazing.
