Chapter 1: What updates does Sen. Mike Lee provide on the SAVE Act?
Well, it might be the last episode that has Mike Lee on it because of Sarah. Not me. Because of Sarah. He was on talking about the Save America Act. And Sarah refused to not play Thund, the ballless rhino. And I don't think the senator appreciated it. I know. You might. You might.
Chapter 2: What does Glenn Beck say about true patriotism?
But also... There is a there was an attack that was planned on the White House, a severe terrorist attack, and it was done planned by Americans. And you need to know about it because one of them, the leader, was a 19 year old kid who was turned in by his mom who saw him change over the last few months.
You need to hear this story because you, your family members, your kids could fall into this trap easily if you don't know what it is. And from the DOJ, the Civil Rights Division, Harmeet Dhillon talking about what's happening with your kids in school and what the DOJ and the Department of Education just did to help shut down the Department of Education under Donald Trump.
All of that and so much more on today's podcast.
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
It's no secret that the checkout line feels a lot heavier now, doesn't it? Those daily essentials are ending up, jeez, on a credit card. Those double-digit interest rates are quietly draining your bank account. If that debt is starting to feel heavy, you are not alone. And if you're a homeowner, you've likely looked at your mortgage rate and thought, I can't touch that.
Well, American financing smart equity loan. With this, you don't have to. It allows you to wipe out high interest debt and lower your monthly overhead while keeping your primary mortgage intact. It's a surgical strike against debt. And unlike fluctuating HELOC, the smart equity loan is a fixed rate loan that gives you the predictable monthly payment month after month.

Just when you think you've heard it all. I've got to talk about Iran today. We've got to talk about the Save America Act. We've got to talk about the attempt on the White House. We have Harmeet Dhillon coming in with a huge breaking news story that she's going to announce on this program about the Department of Education.
What else do we... And then, right before I go on, Jason says to me, Glenn, you do know about the... California gay certification that's going on, right? Like, what? This gay person, 100% approved by the state of California. What the hell is gay certification? We're going to get into that as well. And housing prices.
For anybody who is concerned about housing prices, I want to talk to you about that coming up in just a second. Because there was a really disturbing story out earlier this week. And so much more. We get right to Mike Lee here as we talk about the Save America Act and so many other things.
uh senator mike lee is uh joining us now and uh and hello senator how are you i'm doing great thank you very much glenn and happy semi-quincentennial which is the other one but it just makes you sound smart yeah
Yeah, it does. Or weird. You know what I mean? Or weird. Mostly weird. Like the kid that gets beat up in the playground. You know what I mean?
It's been known to happen, especially if you say words like that.
Okay. All right. I want to talk to you about what John Thune is doing. We're with the... No, no, Sarah. No, Sarah, I did not... Stop it.

Chapter 4: What significant announcement does Harmeet Dhillon make regarding parents' rights?
Stop, Sarah. I did not ask for... Thune, the ball-less rhino. I am sorry, Senator. Stop it. Sorry, Senator. That's wholly inappropriate and unprofessional. Sarah, shame on you. I want to talk to you about the Save America Act. And John Thune still doesn't seem to be willing to save America. He's still saying that we just can't pass it in the Senate, which is not true, is it?
Well, it's true if you assume that you have to have cloture in order to break through a filibuster. The truth is you don't. Now, most of the time, that's the way it happens these days. It wasn't always the case.
Chapter 5: How does the DOJ plan to enforce civil rights laws in education?
It used to not be the norm at all in the Senate. Cloture votes used to be relatively rare. But they've become the default norm and now increasingly assumed falsely to be the exclusive way to break a filibuster. There are other ways. You have to exhaust those who are delaying the bill. You put the bill on the floor and you debate it until it passes.
And that can't happen with every bill, partly because it takes a lot of time to do it. And partly because not every bill will work like this because not every bill has this much support from the American people. We're talking to more between 70 and 80% of Americans across party lines, depending on which poll you listen to. Either way, it's a vast supermajority.
The only place where you can't get a super majority for it is here in Washington, D.C., then that's the problem. But if we put the bill on the floor like they did the Civil Rights Act of 1964, they were down about 30 votes, 30 votes away from being able to achieve cloture in 64 when they did that. And over time, what they saw
Was that the bill became more popular and those who were opposing it and trying to delay it with a filibuster became less popular.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of the new agreement between the DOJ and the Department of Education?
So they started negotiating the terms of their exit ramp. They started negotiating face saving and perfecting amendments. And eventually they got the bill to the point where they could vote for it. That's exactly what we need to do here with the Save America Act. So to say that because we've only got a simple majority support, we're about 10 votes shy of cloture.
It doesn't mean the bill can't pass. It just means there's got to be another way to do it. I won't advocate this on every bill, but this is a rare, unique circumstance where it's important to America's future, our election security, and where the American people overwhelmingly support it. This would work, but it does take time, and I hope we'll get there.
Yeah, I'm kind of losing hope on this one. You know, I know Mitch McConnell. The good thing, we don't have a song about Mitch McConnell. Because I think Mitch McConnell is also trying to do their... No, Sarah, I was talking... Stop, Sarah, I was talking about Mitch McConnell not suing the ball-less rhino. Please, this is wholly inappropriate with the senator on the phone. Please, I mean it, stop.
So, it looks like he's doing everything he can to torpedo this on the way out as well. Or is that just my... Just me.
Look, there is one person and one person alone who can make this judgment called the way the Senate works, the way our schedule is set up. If the Senate majority leader is willing to give this a shot, it'll work. Whether Mitch McConnell wants him to or not, whether any one member wants him to or not, he could do it. At this point, we're not counting on Mitch McConnell's vote anyway.
But we do have a simple majority of Republicans who support the bill. And we also have an American population that I believe will continue overwhelmingly to support this. And it won't really smile all that fondly upon those who are filibustering the bill and eventually they'll negotiate their way out of it.
So we got to give it a shot just because it's difficult and time consuming doesn't mean it's not important. This one's especially important as we approach this election year.
I feel like the Republicans have just walked into a trap. If that fish face guy from Star Wars, that's not crap. That's all I'm hearing right now when it comes to the FISA thing. They came after the temporary appointment for the DNI and then Congress said, well, we're not going to pass FISA. And I said at the time, please, please. Take them at their word on that one.
Just actually hold them to that. Tell them no Save America Act, no FISA. And it looks like that's what he's doing.

Chapter 7: What does Harmeet Dhillon say about the future of the Department of Education?
that you know that you can share?
I really don't know any details about what this deal has in it. But what I do know, Glenn, is that when Barack Obama made a really bad deal about 10 years ago with Iran in the form of the JCPOA, That moved from a standpoint of American weakness. It resulted in us giving an ungodly sum of money to Iran without any real concessions on Iran's part.
And that's how we got to the awful mess where we are today.
Chapter 8: How does Glenn Beck critique the education system's handling of sensitive topics?
I know that President Trump has every ability and every intention and every desire to make things better for the American people rather than empowering our enemies. So I look forward to seeing what's in there. I haven't seen it. I don't know its contents, but I look forward to doing so later this week.
Yeah, I talked to J.D. Vance yesterday, and he seemed very optimistic that we were going to get the things that the American people, I mean, you know, most of the things that the American people want. the things that President Trump said he has to have. And Trump said that not a dime is going to be given to Iran unless they are playing ball. I asked him the question, you know, can you trust them?
And he said, no, you can't trust them, but you can trust yet verify.
That's the name of the game. And I hope and expect and pray that that's what we'll see out of this deal. and look forward to seeing it, hopefully as soon as Friday.
Yeah. Mike, is there anything the American people can do to help with the FISA thing? I mean, are they listening to phone calls or letters or anything?
I always think it's a good idea if you agree with something to use letters, use phone calls, social media, op-eds, any way you feel comfortable expressing yourself to make sure that you know that your senators and your representatives at the federal level are aware of where you stand. That can't hurt. And sometimes it can do some real good.
You never know exactly the moment at which stuff like that will make a difference. So you have to assume that in this circumstance, it might. And I believe this could be one of those moments.
He just said, however you feel comfortable expressing yourself, you know, which I think is I'm going to take as a, you know, kind of an endorsement of the song about John Thune. I mean, I could be misreading that there, but... No, Sarah, stop. Okay. Mike, thank you very much. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. All right. You'll never be on the show again.
But thank you very much, Senator Mike Lee for the great state of Utah. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. And don't forget, rate us on iTunes. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We have a lot to talk about. Who is leaking things at the White House? This is getting dangerous because it's now being leaked out of the Situation Room, which is really bad.
