Chapter 1: How is Donald Trump's approach changing in recent times?

0.031 - 27.061 Glenn Beck

on today's podcast i have noticed something with donald trump uh i think he is changing and and and maybe i don't know softening is the right term he is becoming more relatable he is the guy's a genius at and reading the room i believe and i talked about that on today's show Also, what are you interested in talking about today? We took phone calls and messages and notes from the insiders.

27.101 - 49.037 Glenn Beck

We hear from you. And I believe that if you're going to insist body cams for ICE, which I think is a perfectly good idea, I think it's time we start demanding body cams on politicians. I lay out the case on today's podcast. You know, a lot of people feel like their paychecks, you know, come and go right back out the door.

0

49.457 - 67.264 Glenn Beck

You know, between the credit cards, loans, and other monthly payments, it starts to feel like you're working hard and you're just standing still. You're not moving forward. That's not good. High interest can quietly eat away at all of your progress. And that's where American Financing can help. They work with homeowners to look at ways to consolidate that high interest debt.

0

67.244 - 91.779 Glenn Beck

Now, that high interest rate, maybe a 20%, 25%, 30% interest. Okay, you have a house loan. You're paying, let's say, 2% interest. You've got to pay off that credit card, $10,000. Take $10,000 of what you have in your house in equity, and yeah, you're going to have to pay 6%. But that's a lot better than 25 or 30% a month, right? You know how much money that will save you over time?

You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

172.983 - 173.844 Glenn Beck

Where do I begin on this with Donald Trump?

Chapter 3: How do financial struggles affect American families?

173.865 - 207.598 Glenn Beck

I think he's shifting gears. And I want to play just a real quick clip from Donald Trump. Let me see where it is. Where he is, he's talking about, we have it, maybe we don't have it. Is it cut five? No, no, no. Let me just explain it to you because I don't know where the clip is. He was asked on this NBC News interview, what did you learn by your actions in Minnesota?

0

208.058 - 227.516 Glenn Beck

Okay, now it wasn't a hostile question. I read it hostile because it might have been in the reporter's mind as a really hostile question. But I've heard that asked of George W. Bush. Um, and George W. Bush didn't answer it. Well, uh, Barack Obama was horrible. What did you learn in your first year? What did you learn?

0

227.576 - 254.201 Glenn Beck

And you know, this or that, that, you know, people just are dumb and they don't understand. I'm getting talk back, please. In my ear. Uh, you know, they don't, they don't understand. I, you know, I, I don't know what I should have learned from that. Um, Basically, I didn't learn anything. Biden did this. Trump kind of did this too. What did I learn?

0

254.381 - 289.706 Glenn Beck

And he didn't have a really good, humble answer to it. Biden was even worse. You're just too stupid. You know, I didn't say it loud enough. I didn't say it enough. I didn't, you know, whatever. Here's how Donald Trump answered this. And I haven't seen this in 25 years. So, Here's what he said. What did I learn in Minnesota? I learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch.

0

290.947 - 314.386 Glenn Beck

We still have to be tough. These are criminals. We're dealing with real hard criminals. But look, I've called the people. I've called the governor. I've called the mayor. I spoke with him. We had great conversations. And I see people ranting and raving out there, literally, as though those calls weren't made. But I learned that if I had a little softer touch, that's huge for Donald Trump.

314.406 - 357.058 Glenn Beck

And let me tell you why that's so huge. Donald Trump is a guy that doesn't... He thinks... How can I say this? I have seen the president do things personally that I have had to sign... nondisclosure paperwork on that show him on who he really is this soft giving kind unbelievable guy who just is not the guy you see on television he's got this entire other side um

361.747 - 387.717 Glenn Beck

And I asked him at one point, as I'm signing this release form, this nondisclosure form, I looked at him and I said, why? Why? Nobody needs to know that. No, Mr. President, that's exactly what they need to know. This is such an important part of you that nobody ever sees. Nobody needs to know it's weak. It's not weak. But he is from this older generation, and he's the president.

387.757 - 409.696 Glenn Beck

He knows he needs to look strong, et cetera, and he doesn't ever show his softer side. Rarely do you see his softer side. And I think that's – I just think that's a crime, you know, in a way, because without seeing who he actually is – On that side, you don't understand the full picture of Donald Trump.

410.659 - 437.336 Glenn Beck

So here he is softening and saying, oh, uh, yeah, I still have to be tough, but I need a softer touch. That's a really huge deal. Then he goes on and says, you know, the good shooting and the pretty shooting. Look, they weren't angels, but their actions didn't justify fatal shootings. Have you heard anyone on the left say the opposite of that?

Chapter 4: What insights does Glenn share from his interactions with politicians?

664.017 - 685.249 Glenn Beck

She really respects him. They like each other. They're in love, et cetera, et cetera. But there's real respect there as well. And at one point in the movie, he is rehearsing for the inaugural address. And she opens the door and she's like, oh, sorry. And he's like, no, no, come in, sit, sit for a minute. So she sits down and he starts delivering his address.

0

686.15 - 689.795 Glenn Beck

And gosh, I looked this up earlier today. What was it? What was it?

0

689.815 - 694.12 Unknown

He said, he said, my proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker.

0

694.24 - 723.504 Glenn Beck

And she said, she said, and a unifier. She's in the movie. And he says, my proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker. And then she's sitting in the room with the writers. And she said, she looks at him, points to him and said, and a unifier. And he looked at her and he went, yeah, that's good. And a unifier, write that in. Then the next scene is him at the Capitol giving the speech.

0

724.245 - 749.997 Glenn Beck

And what's amazing is we didn't understand it at the time. I didn't understand it until I saw the movie Melania. He says that line, and my proudest accomplishment will be that of a peacemaker and a unifier. And everybody starts to applaud, and he turns around, and he points to Melania and smiles and shakes his head, and she just gives the faintest smile of recognition.

751.559 - 779.492 Glenn Beck

She keeps him anchored, I think, in the softness And I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't had a conversation. I mean, I also wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have a conversation with anybody because he has the best gut of the American people I've ever seen. But... She is a softening, a softener for him. You know, she was like unifier.

779.852 - 803.503 Glenn Beck

He meant peacemaker as somebody who's going to make peace all around the world, which he did. And she understood, and you're going to unify everybody in the country. And that's exactly what he's trying to do now. He's softening to unify because he knows the only other option is civil war. I mean, did you see what the radicals are doing on the streets of Minnesota and Minneapolis?

804.044 - 826.335 Glenn Beck

They're putting their own checkpoints up. I got news for you. You have a checkpoint in Minneapolis and you try to stop my car as a civilian. I'm blowing past you. I am not stopping my car. And somehow or another, they also have access to the license plates. Hmm. How'd they get that?

827.716 - 852.559 Glenn Beck

Now, Homan has just said, I mean, Homan, remember, I said when he made this deal in, you know, he said, you know, I'm going to fire what's his name from Border Patrol and I'm bringing Homan in. Everybody's like, I think he caved. That's the white flag. No, it's not because he brought Homan in. Homan is the toughest of the tough guys. It's like the only step up from Homan is raising Cain.

Chapter 5: What does Trump reveal about his learning experiences?

871.071 - 906.677 Glenn Beck

Wait, so Donald Trump got everything that he was asking for? What a surprise. Again, win. But how'd that happen? How'd that happen? Now, you could be really cynical and say maybe some sort of a deal was cut. I hope that's not true. I doubt that's true. I think that is Donald Trump knowing exactly how to play the game. Remember, he's a negotiator first. He's a negotiator. He can read the room.

907.214 - 921.837 Glenn Beck

All right, let me tell you about relief factor. Sometimes it's not, you know, one big injury that slows you down. It's a little bunch of little injuries that has happened all over life, you know, little aches that never quite leave. Your knees remind you when you stand up, your back talks to you when you bend over, your shoulders feel tight by the end of the day.

0

921.897 - 938.448 Glenn Beck

All the stuff that didn't happen, but after a lifetime of doing stuff, just doing stuff, now you're like, oh, geez, how am I going to move through all of this every day? That's why a lot of people have decided to try Relief Factor. It's a daily supplement, and it's designed to support your body's natural response to inflammation.

0

938.528 - 952.307 Glenn Beck

It helps you feel more comfortable so you can stay active and do the things you really enjoy without the constant reminders that something hurts. It's about supporting your body, not just covering up symptoms. And over a million people have tried Relief Factor, and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more.

0

952.287 - 969.946 Glenn Beck

It tells you a lot about the difference that people are feeling when they take Relief Factor. If pain is dictating your routine, just give it a try. You have nothing to lose. I mean, you try it for three weeks. If you're not seeing any changes in your body in three weeks, no changes at all, stop taking it. It won't work for you. About 30% of the people stop taking it.

969.966 - 991.638 Glenn Beck

70% of the people are just like me. They take it every single day because you found a big difference. How will you feel being out of pain? 800-4-Relief. 800-4-Relief. ReliefFactor.com. Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to Thursday. It's the 5th of February. There's a lot going on.

991.659 - 1022.688 Glenn Beck

I'm going to take your phone calls here in just a second. I just have to play a couple of things. First of all, can we play this? weird kamala harris x thing that came out last night i think it's trending it is just a you know kamala hq uh and it's a sign in uh and uh you know your your your login your login name and your your code your yeah And play it here. Let me just show you what it says.

1022.808 - 1059.935 Glenn Beck

So she's typing it in. And she types in the first. The first code is to online. Then it's the babysitter is weird. And then what's the last one? The last one. I'm looking for headquarters. Yeah. She just writes headquarters. And then it says tomorrow. Please tell me this is today, by the way, that tomorrow is today for her. So please tell me you're running for president.

1060.216 - 1085.547 Glenn Beck

That's what they're starting to say, that she's going to run for president. Oh, please, please make that. Please be Gavin and Kamala. Wouldn't that be fabulous? Way too online means, you know, we're just too cool. The babysitter is weird as a slam on Trump, I guess. Project 2025 is real. It's also another slam on Trump. And Kamala's headquarters today going to be making an announcement.

Chapter 6: How does Glenn Beck view empathy in Trump's character?

1973.185 - 2000.346 Glenn Beck

Have you had an x-ray? No, he broke my arm. I'm telling you, he broke my arm. cop wasn't even around, whatever it was, put cameras on cops. That's great. Put them on ice. Great. We'll know the story. It keeps them true and it keeps the lying liars away from the, away from the, the press. Cause we improved that didn't happen. Okay. But I got to thinking, everybody wants this on the cops, right?

0

2002.199 - 2029.573 Glenn Beck

Well, you know politicians are kind of cops in suits. They're the ones that are supposed to be policing our laws, policing our Constitution, make sure there's no enemies, foreign or domestic. That's what they're sworn to do. They take an oath to protect that and to serve that. What do the cops take? They take an oath to protect and serve, right? So why is nobody watching the watchers?

0

2031.055 - 2063.543 Glenn Beck

My local cop has to wear a vest. I'm going to have to wear a vest. The gas station, the grocery store, the front porch, dogs have cameras now. But the people with the most power, the ones who operate that power, operate the systems, They're on the honor system. Honor in Washington, D.C. is two words, not one. You understand what I'm saying? There's no honor there. So here's a radical thought.

0

2064.043 - 2084.526 Glenn Beck

Why don't we flip this around? Cops wear cameras because we say power requires accountability. Great. Let's finish the sentence here. If you hold public office, you wear a camera. And not at your speeches, not during your press conferences, all the time. I mean, not all the time. I mean, you're going to, you know, there are times you're not going to wear it.

0

2084.546 - 2111.845 Glenn Beck

Congressional body cams, cabinet-level GoPros, senators with a blinking red light that says, yeah, remember, Senator, we're watching. You want to meet a lobbyist? Great. Smile. You're on candid camera. You want to negotiate, you know, a bill at midnight? Great. America's watching the uncut version. You want to say... This isn't how the real world works. Perfect.

2111.865 - 2144.507 Glenn Beck

Could you define the real world, please? Because the one I live in has and demands receipts. The one you live in, I don't think is the real world because it never demands receipts from any of you. Yeah, but that's extreme. Really, that's extreme. I think we've already decided that extreme was acceptable, haven't we? And if cameras are extreme, then why do we have them for traffic stops?

2145.388 - 2175.365 Glenn Beck

Why do we have them for classrooms? We decided it for every American who doesn't have power. Why does transparency suddenly become unreasonable the moment it reaches the top? Why? You're watched in everything you do. Here's why. Imagine what would happen half of Washington would suddenly go, you know what, I'm too old for this job. I should retire. I'm going to let some of these youngsters in.

2175.486 - 2204.214 Glenn Beck

That's the first thing that would happen. Another quarter would suddenly rediscover prayer, and the rest would spend the first month just asking interns, is this thing on? Corruption would need to be prosecuted. It would die of embarrassment. Here's the thing. Corruption thrives in the shadows. It hates daylight. It hates context. It hates time stamps. You wouldn't need hearings anymore.

2204.375 - 2234.513 Glenn Beck

Just hit rewind. I never said... Here it is at 2.14 p.m., sir. Remember, right after the lunch fundraiser, you said this. I mean, protect privacy. Sure, bathroom breaks, no camera. I don't want to say family time off camera. But you're governing, red lights on. You're doing deals, red lights on. You don't get secrecy and authority. Pick one. What do you say? Pick one.
