Doc & Skip break a Glenn Beck Radio Program rule

This wasn't the first time Doc Thompson and Skip Lacombe had covered the radio program with Glenn away from the microphone, so there's really no excuse for what they did. Doc even admitted he knew they were about to break a rule, but they did it anyway. What was their crime? Flagrant violation of the "Trump Free Zone."

"Now, I know Pat and Stu have called for a moratorium on the Trump word, but they're not here today. So screw it. We'll talk a little Trump," Doc said.

In utter defiance of the "Trump Free Zone," Doc went on to share what his thoughts on the billionaire business magnate.

"Donald Trump for me has never been somebody I'm going to actively support. Over the past couple of weeks I've said he's kind of the middle of the pack for me because he is the outsider. I think Donald Trump is quite bright when it comes things finance and negotiation, I think he would be tough when it comes to things like foreign affairs. But Donald Trump has backpedaled and flip-flopped and changed his mind on a lot of things, so I don't know what I'm going to get," Doc said.

Doc then shared a major announcement.

"Donald Trump has now moved into a new category for me. He's on my 'Not That Guy' list," Doc said.

His big hangup? Trump's recent statement about illegal immigrants and amnesty.

"For me personally, there are a couple of issues that I'm not able to negotiate on. And that is immigration," Doc said. "If you will not commit to deportations of all people here illegally, you're dead to me. You're politically dead to me."

Who else is on Doc and Skip's #NotThatGuy list? Watch the video or read the transcript from the radio segment below.

Below is a rush transcription of this segment, it may contain errors:

DOC: Who is on the list for you that is absolutely the person you could not under any circumstances vote for? For me, Donald Trump is the new addition. There are a couple of people that have already been on the list. I'll go from the bottom up who is on my list. The absolute bottom of my list. Mike Huckabee. Mike Huckabee is only slightly worse than Jeb Bush because Mike Huckabee says and does a lot of the same progressive outrageously wrong, crappy things that Jeb Bush does, believes, and has done. But Mike Huckabee also uses Jesus to justify doing it. Which is reprehensible. That you would use your faith as supposedly a conservative, to woo people to go to your website and buy your crap, Mike Huckabee, and try to get you elected, only to build yourself up to use your faith to do that. That is absolutely the lowest of the low.

SKIP: And he's essentially one of those guys like in that Steve Martin movie, Leap of Faith too. I mean, going town to town. Talking about Jesus and healing people for money.

DOC: He's shaking snakes and telling you to drink the strychnine for Jesus. When all he's really interested in is himself. And, Mike Huckabee, you want to challenge me on that? Sit down here. I'll put you on this program. I'll put you on our program. I'll challenge you. I'll meet you on any street corner anywhere in America and debate you on this stuff. I know your track record.

SKIP: He won't come on our show.

DOC: No, he won't. Because he's afraid of us. Just like the other people. Mike Huckabee, I know who you are. I have your track record. I have the information on you. I know your record as governor in Arkansas. I remember when you called the conservatives in Arkansas Shiite Republicans. Comparing them to terrorist extremists in the Middle East because you didn't simply like the fact that they didn't want you to raise the taxes on the people of Arkansas. I know that you've been selling your website name and the people on that, that sign up for your site, so people can target them to sell essentially what I call snake oil. I know who you are. And using Jesus to do it, you're despicable. Slightly up on that list, is Jeb Bush. He does slightly all those things. He just hasn't invoked the name Jesus. So those two absolutely on the bottom of the list for me.

SKIP: Yeah, and those two will oftentimes trade off back and forth on who is the actual worst of the worst. I mean, Jeb Bush will come out and say something in the next week that will put him back on the other side for me. And then Mike Huckabee will come back. So they battle for the worst of the worst in my mind.

DOC: You know what it is, these two are so bad, I'd rather vote for Jim Webb, the Democrat former senator of Virginia before I'd vote for them. How bad is it? I'd vote for Lindsey Graham before I'd vote for those two. That's how awful it is.

SKIP: They're incrementally better than Obama. You want to talk about progressive.

DOC: Let me think about that.

SKIP: Seriously. Let that marinate for a second. I'll say they're better than Obama.

DOC: Hold on. No. No, I don't know if they are. I can make an argument they're worse than Obama. At least with Obama, you know what you're getting. With Jeb Bush and Mike Huckabee, they wrap it up in being caring. We care more than you. But we're conservative. They get in there and do the same crap. In fact, if it hadn't been for George W. Bush, we wouldn't have Obama. Because he pretended to be the conservative. Did the same stuff. And everybody said, well, we don't like all that crap that's going on that's not conservative. But they thought it was and ran to Obama. So I put him on the same par with him. All horrible people. Next up on my list is Lindsey Graham. Skip Lacombe, Jeb Bush or Lindsey Graham? Go.

SKIP: I'll take Lindsey Graham. Begrudgingly.

DOC: Lindsey Graham or Chris Christie? Go. It's incremental.

SKIP: That's a tough one. Graham.

DOC: I put Chris Christie slightly above Lindsey Graham. Slightly.

SKIP: I don't know. I'm going Lindsey Graham because I don't want to see Chris Christie throwing up first pitch for years. Hold on. Maybe I do want to see --

DOC: Yes, you do.

SKIP: I talked myself out of it. Chris Christie.

DOC: There's another factor we have to consider. A much smaller factor than saving America, it's show content.

DOC: That's a much, much lesser. Way down on the list. But all things being equal.

SKIP: Chris Christie.

DOC: Lindsey Graham brings a lot of content. I mean, the first -- it wouldn't be the first president that -- how can I clean this up. An effeminate American president.

SKIP: Okay.

DOC: I mean, we talked about being politically correct in phrases yesterday. We don't know exactly all details with Lindsey. I'm just speculating. Effeminate American? Is that how we -- I think that would be good content. Anyone else notice that Lindsey Graham is starting to look like John McCain?

SKIP: Dude, they are. They've been hanging out too much.

DOC: John McCain is the emperor. Something, something, Lindsey Graham. Something, something, vote with me, Jeff. Something, something dark side. That's John McCain. Right? Take a look at recent pictures of Lindsey Graham. Look at Lindsey Graham when he was active in the military, I mean, many, many years ago, right? His uniform looked buttoned up. Okay looking guy. Look at him now. He's on the path to being John McCain.

SKIP: Same thing with John McCain too. Strapping young military man back in the day.

DOC: I think Lindsey Graham is trying to look like him now.

SKIP: I think you're right.

DOC: Also, on my not that guy list, Chris Christie. He's just one up from Lindsey Graham. Donald Trump has just been added. He's at the same level, one notch up from Chris Christie. With Scott Walker and John Kasich. That rounds up my not that guy list.

POLL: What DARK government secrets will Trump uncover?

Will the dark secrets of the Deep State finally see the light of day? Or will they slip back into darkness, as they have many times before?

The Trump administration is gearing up to fulfill one of Trump's most anticipated campaign promises: to make the contents of the JFK files, along with other Deep State secrets, available to the public. Kash Patel, who has promised to publicize the highly anticipated files, is expected to be confirmed next week as Trump's director of the FBI. Moreover, the House Oversight Committee created a new task force headed by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called "Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets," which is tasked with investigating and declassifying information on the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, UFOs, the Epstein list, COVID's origins, and 9/11. This all comes after the FBI found 2,400 "new" records relating to the assassination of President Kennedy following Trump's executive order to release the files.

Glenn discussed this topic with the cast of the Patrick Bet David podcast. Glenn expressed his confidence in Trump's radical transparency—on the condition that Kash Patel is confirmed. The cast was not as optimistic, expressing some doubt about whether Trump will actually unveil all that he has promised. But what do you think? What files are likely to see the light of day? And what files will continue to linger in the dark? Let us know in the poll below

Do you think the JFK, RFK, and MLK files will be unveiled?

Do you think the 9/11 files will be unveiled?

Do you think the COVID files will be unveiled?

Do you think the UFO files will be unveiled?

Do you think the Epstein list will be unveiled?

Transgender opera in Colombia? 10 SHOCKING ways USAID spent your tax dollars.

The government has been doing what with our tax money!?

Under the determined eye of Elon Musk, DOGE has rooted out the corruption that permeates USAID, and it turns out that it's worse than we thought. Glenn recently read a list of atrocious causes that were funded by USAID, and the list was as long as it was shocking.

Since the January consumer index report was published today, one thing is clear: eggs are bearing the brunt of inflation. That's why we illustrated the extent of USAID's wasteful spending of YOUR taxpayer dollars by comparing it to the price of eggs. How many eggs could the American people have bought with their tax dollars that were given to a "transgender opera" in Colombia or indoctrinating Sri Lankans with woke gender ideology? The truth will shock you:

1. A “transgender opera” in Colombia

USAID spent $47,000 on a transgender opera in Colombia. That's over 135,000 eggs.

2. Sex changes and "LGBT activism" in Guatemala

$2 million was spent funding sex changes along with whatever "LGBT activism" means. That equates to over 5.7 million eggs!

3. Teaching Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid binary-gendered language

USAID forked over $7.9 million to combat the "gender binary" in Sri Lankan journalism. That could have bought nearly 23 million eggs.

4. Tourism in Egypt

$6 million (or just over 17 million eggs) was spent to fund tourism in Egypt. If only someone had thought to build some impressive landmarks...

5. A new "Sesame Street" show in Iraq

USAID spent $20 million to create a new Sesame Street show in Iraq. That's just short of 58 million eggs...

6. Helping the BBC value the diversity of Libyan society

$2.1 million was sent to the BBC (the British Broadcasting Corporation) to help them value the diversity of Libyan society (whatever that means). That could have bought over 6 million eggs.

7. Meals for a terrorist group linked to Al-Qaeda

$10 million worth of USAID-funded meals went to an Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group. That comes up to be just shy of 29 million eggs.

8. Promoting inclusion in Vietnam 

A combined $19.3 million was sent to two separate inclusion groups in Vietnam inclusion groups in Vietnam (why where they separated? Not very inclusive of them). That's over 55 million eggs.

9. Promoting DEI in Serbia's workplaces

USAID sent $1.5 million (4.3 million eggs) to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities.”

10. Funding EcoHealth Alliance, tied to the Wuhan Institute of Virology's "bat research"

EcoHealth Alliance, one of the key NGOs that funded the Wuhan lab's bat virus research, received $5 million from USAID, which is equivalent to 14.5 million eggs.

The bottom line...

So, how much damage was done?

In total, approximately $73.8 million was wasted on the items on this list. That comes out to be 213 million eggs. Keep in mind that these are just the items on this list, there are many, many more that DOGE has uncovered and will uncover in the coming days. Case in point: that's a lot of eggs.

POLL: Should Trump stop producing pennies?

SAUL LOEB / Contributor, Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images

On Sunday, February 9th, President Trump ordered the U.S. Mint to halt the production of pennies. It costs the mint three cents to produce every penny, which Trump deemed wasteful. However, critics argue that axing the pennies will be compensated by ramping up nickel production, which costs 13 cents per coin.

In other news, President Trump promised on Truth Social that he would be reversing a Biden-era policy that mandated the use of paper straws throughout the federal government. From potentially slashing entire agencies to saying farewell to pennies and paper straws, Trump is hounding after wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars.

But what do you think? Was Trump right to put an end to pennies? And should plastic straws make a comeback? Let us know in the poll below:

Should Trump stop the production of pennies? 

Do you agree with Trump's reversal of the plastic straw ban?

Was this the most PATRIOTIC Super Bowl yet?

CHANDAN KHANNA / Contributor | Getty Images

The 2025 Super Bowl demonstrated Trump’s vision of a new America.

On Sunday, February 9th, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the biggest sporting event of the year. But this wasn't just a victory for Eagles fans. For those watching, it became apparent that American culture has changed, the zeitgeist has shifted, and America has become cool again. While remnants of woke culture lingered, they felt out of step next to the parade of American Flags and patriotic messaging that dominated the national event. The message was clear: America is back.

Everybody knows that the commercials are the best part of any Super Bowl, and last night's game was no exception. As Glenn has pointed out, while some of the ads still carried woke messages (like Nike's), many more captured the newly kindled patriotism felt nationwide. Here are four of the best commercials from last Sunday that make this the most patriotic Super Bowl yet:

1. Rocket: "Own the Dream"

This touching commercial by the financial services company, Rocket, states "Everyone deserves a shot at the American dream," while showing images of people returning home and building families. The ad included a cover of John Denver's iconic song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and featured an in-stadium sing-along, live from the Super Bowl.

2. Secret Service: "A History of Protection"

Donald Trump made history by being the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, which required the efforts of hundreds of Secret Service agents to ensure his safety. The Secret Service boasted of this feat during their minute-long commercial, which lauded American values and achievements and featured iconic American imagery.

3. Brad Pitt: "Huddle Up"

The Super Bowl introduction celebrated snapshots of American achievement accompanied with a powerful commentary about unity narrated by Brad Pitt. The message is clear: Americans can achieve great things when we work together. The ad conjures up American ideals such as hard work, ingenuity, self-sacrifice, and teamwork.

4. Jeep: "Big Game"

Movie star Harrison Ford appeared in Jeep's Super Bowl commercial to promote freedom and to remind us that "freedom isn't free." Ford treks through the mountains while ruminating on what freedom means in America and the opportunities and responsibilities that come with it.
